The Codan Suffolk Flock is located outside of Wyoming, ON, Canada
just north of HWY 402
View Google Map Directions
Regional Award Winner 2008
Codan Suffolks - Lambton County
The Flock: The original flock was established by owners Bill & Lynne Duffield in 1965. Through the years, ewes were purchased from such flocks as MSU and Culham. In 1991 the flock was closed to purchasing ewes from outside the farm. Rams to service this flock were purchased from test station sales in Canada and the USA such as Ontario, Alberta, Iowa, and Illinois. One of our studs was a son of Country Music, the third certified meat sire in USA. We closed the flock to bringing in outside live rams in 1994 and switched to new genetics of frozen ram semen by the use of AI only. This means under Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) definition that the flock is a totally closed unit. In 1999, we used the Third Ontario Suffolk Reference Sire ram and two of our own ram lambs of which one was an AI ram using the data from Sheep Flock Improvement Program of Ontario (SFIP) now GenOvis, and Lambplan from Australia.
We were one of the original flocks putting rams into test stations in Ontario and the only Canadian flock to test ram lambs at the Ohio Station, USA. Our rams have been at/or near the top of the Suffolks at all these stations.
Since we are a strong supporter of healthy sheep we took lambs to the test
station for carcass class only so we do not bring ram lambs home that have been
exposed to animals from other farms. Several years ago our carcasses averaged a
2.96 square inch loin eye at 110 days from birth to slaughter. We used Glanvac-6
and culling to prevent and eradicate any caseous lymphadenitis (CL) in our flock
and there has been no signs of CL for many, many years. In 1990 our flock was
ELISA blood tested for Maedi Visna (OPP) and at that time we had no reactors.
Every year since we randomly sample 10-15% of the flock to monitor our Maedi
Visna free status. We are into our twenty-second year of testing of Maedi Visna and have
never had a positive reactor. Over the years our ram lambs have been used at
United Breeders in Guelph, at the New Liskeard flock (dispersed), and Centre d'insemination ovine du Quebec (CIOQ)
(dispersed also) and by serious commercial
breeders. Before entry to the Quebec AI stud, the rams were tested for 7
diseases and were all negative. In 1997, we started scanning all our lambs
around 100 days of age for back fat and loin eye depth. We have been blood
testing for the spider gene on our stud rams to verify that our flock is
completely free of
this problem and codon test as well. In 1999, we were one of the
first farms to join the Ontario Sheep Health Program (OSHP) having a producer #
0001. We have met the specifications for a eighth year for the Ontario Sheep Health Program Certificate Level 1, issued
September 18, 2006. In Level II, Maedi-Visna Section (OPP) we are now classified
"A" with all animals including 180 days and older lambs being
negative. This flock currently is the only registered Suffolk flock in all
of Ontario that is recognized under the Ontario Veterinarian College (OVC) at
the University of Guelph, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), and the
Ontario Sheep Marketing Association to attain this level.
Codan Suffolks since 2003 to 2009 every year has blood tested 10% of all aged ewes and these again were all negative for m-v. In 2007, the majority of Canadian laboratories have switched to the AGID test as the ELISA compound using wasn't dependable. Our test adults came back negative. In 2012 University of Guelph is doing a new ELISA test, similar to the one in UK, and we tested aged ewes were negative. 2013 test were all negative.
Our flock has been scanning all our lambs every year for loin eye depth and fat depth since 2004.
We are also a founding member of the Ontario Suffolk Sire Reference Association (OSSRA). Three of our rams have now been selected as Reference Sires for OSSRA. The last was "Sir Segremore", KXK 81J, the fourth reference ram.
Bill is also a director of the OPP Concerned Sheep Breeders Society.
In 2001 Codan Suffolks successfully completed the Livestock Medicines Education Program.
Lambplan average for 2013 Codan Breeding Ewe Lambs is 145.72 (For the new Carcase plus index)
Our data contains 2687 animals to date.

A Viral Attack against Brain Tumors
Page 2 of 2
"It's like a balloon," says Van den Pol. "If you keep blowing air into it, it explodes. The carcass is still there, but it's no longer a balloon. And these are basically dead cells, unable to divide anymore or survive as intact cells."
It's not yet clear why VSV is such an effective tumor killer, although Van den Pol has several theories. One possible explanation may involve a tumor's weak vascular system. Vessels that supply blood to tumors tend to be leaky, allowing a virus traveling through the bloodstream to cross an otherwise impermeable barrier into the brain, directly into a tumor.
Van den Pol says that VSV may also target cancer cells because of inherent defects in a tumor's immune system. Typically, in the presence of a virus, normal cells launch an immune response by producing interferon, proteins that prevent viral infection in healthy cells. Tumors lack such strong viral defenses, providing an easy target for viruses.
There are several considerations that the team will have to face before moving to clinical trials. In its tests, the team observed live scans of the virus over a few days before sacrificing the animals for closer study. It remains to be seen how the virus will act on the brain over a longer timescale.
Additionally, the researchers used immuno-compromised mice. While these mice are still able to produce interferon as a local cellular defense, they have a weakened systemic immune system–one that's unable to produce B and T cells that would otherwise destroy viruses. Van den Pol explains that such a weakened system allowed the team to insert transplanted human tumors in mice without their being rejected. However, in order to test the virus as an effective therapy, the team will have to make sure that a normal immune system doesn't stamp out the virus before it has a chance to act on tumors.
"What usually happens with most of these tests is, you have a nice animal model where the virus spreads through the tumor," says Samuel Rabkin, associate virologist in the department of neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. "In more-realistic models, the host may have a response to the virus that limits the effect."

Two rhino poachers arrested in LimpopoComment on this story
Johannesburg - Two men have been arrested for trying to get a Kruger National Park ranger to kill and de-horn a rhino, Limpopo police said on Monday.
"According to information, the two men, 39 and 35, approached a ranger in the park and asked him to shoot and de-horn the animal because it would be 'easier' for him to do so," Colonel Ronel Otto said in a statement.
"The ranger agreed, but told them that they would need to bring him a fire-arm, as he could not shoot the animal with his official fire-arm."
The ranger then contacted the police.
A meeting was arranged between the ranger and the men at Plange village, near Malamulele.
Police arrested the 39-year-old man at a meeting on Sunday evening, and confiscated a hunting rifle and a car.
The 35-year-old man ran to a home of a woman in the village. She alerted community members, who assaulted him. He was in hospital in a serious, but stable condition.
The 39-year-old would appear in the Malamulele Magistrate's Court on Tuesday for possession of an unlicensed firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime, said Otto.
The 35-year-old man would appear in court once he had sufficiently recovered from his injuries, she said.

Our Swisse Global Ambassador, and award-winning actress Nicole Kidman.
Taking some well-earned down-time away from her fast-paced A-list lifestyle, we saw a very different Nicole, as she relaxed and recharged, on location with Swisse. In the garden, and in gumboots Nicole showed us how she unwinds and embraces health and happiness to achieve balance away from the public eye.
Terrara House Estate, an historic rural property in the NSW Southern Highlands provided a stunning backdrop to our shoot with Nicole. Serene, leafy and intimate, the setting was perfect to capture a relaxed, carefree Nicole, different to what we have seen before.

His documentary Beauty of the Flight has been awarded Best Documentary and Best Cinematography at international film festivals.
Lizzy Gardiner has amassed incredible success as a costume designer and stylist, winning an Academy Award and creating a name for herself thanks to her work on The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Lizzy was thrilled to work with Nicole Kidman for the Swisse campaign, saying, "It was one of the most relaxed shoots I have ever worked on."
"Nicole is my favourite muse. Nicole is intelligent and beautiful. What more could I ask for?"
Lizzy goes on to tell us, "I know I need supplements because I always feel so much better when I take them. Swisse Hair Skin and Nails is also a favourite".
Hair stylist to international stars including Nicole Kidman, Kate Moss, Giselle Bundchen and Elle McPherson, Alan White's repertoire spans editorial, advertising and film.
Alan says of working on the Swisse shoot, "Nicole is the ultimate professional. She is always a pleasure to work with.
"The whole two days were full of laughing, special moments and a very relaxed atmosphere."
Alan adds, "I've recently started using Swisse products – so far I am feeling great and have loads of energy!"

Her charm and quick wit has led her to work with a who's who of Hollywood, such as Jennifer Aniston and Cate Blanchett, and publications such as Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair.
Of the Swisse shoot with Nicole, Liz tells us, "The locations were beautiful, however the morning light on Day 2 at 7 Mile Beach was stunning! The view was definitely worth the early start."

The national credit crunch could threaten the viability of
Florida's hurricane insurance backup fund and that could lead to
more home foreclosures, the state's insurance commissioner told a
Senate committee Thursday.
The panel's chairman said one alternative would be to raise
premiums for homeowner and other property coverage.
The problem lies with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund,
commonly called the "cat fund." It is having a hard time lining
up financing, Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty told the Senate
Ways & Means Committee on Thursday.
Many insurance companies so heavily depend on the fund that they
might be downgraded to the point home mortgages, which require
borrowers to buy adequate property insurance, could go into
default, McCarty said.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) - A hazardous materials response team was called to a freight facility near Los Angeles International Airport Saturday after an air cargo container holding low-grade radioactive material was exposed, authorities said.
The container was punctured, possibly by the machines used for cargo handling, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian
Humphrey said.
Firefighters quickly isolated and removed the parcel, Humphrey said.
No one was injured and no evacuation was ordered.

CEO of Charity Clinic Pays Himself with Taxpayer Cash, Report Alleges
Categories: Breaking News
The CEO of an LA-based non-profit that operates clinics in Anaheim and Stantion paid himself hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in taxpayer money that was intended to fund the clinics, according to a report posted on the website AccountableCalifornia.org, which is a project of SEIU Local 721.
90 percent of Central City Community Health Center's annual budget of $7 million comes from taxpayers, the report states. Dr. Gilbert Varela, the CEO in question, also runs two private medical practices. Claiming to be owed an unspecified amount of money by the non-profit chain he operates, Varela has allegedly funneled cash to his private business accounts for the past several years--surreptitious transactions of sometimes half a million dollars per year that alarmed his accountant, John Soto.
When Soto confronted Varela about the transactions, Varela allegedly fired him, which prompted Soto to sue Varela and accuse him of concealing the apparent slush fund. The report also states that Varela routinely used the non-profit clinics to serve his own private patients, and gave them priority over the low-income patients of the clinic.
You can read more about Varela here. Meanwhile, Accountable California says there's more to come. Part 2 of their expose will show how the CEO stacked the charity's board with friends and family members.

Wimbledon Success? It's A Piece Of Cake, According To This Brit Tennis Champ
That's right. Cake. Watson (a.k.a. Britain's number two), is putting all of her balls in the bakery basket, and preparing for the court with gooey chocolate goodies. Speaking at the pre-Wimbledon party, Watson revealed that whilst she's staying at a nearby family friends' Wimbledon home for the duration of the tournament, the real perk whilst there is the decadent home cooking she's devouring. "The mum is the most amazing cook. They have become great family friends over the years and I stay with them all the time. She cooks an unbelievable Oreo tart, the best ever. But don't tell anyone."
A strategy a little different from her competitors, but perhaps it's the sweet little secret to scoring match points? All that extra "energy" and all. Well, if it works for Watson…let them eat cake! (The Evening Standard)

Amazon.com has several new listings for the 2008 year and Brian Jacques!
First, The Doomwytes has finally made an appearance, however it's listed as the title we first reported in September, Doomwyte. I guess it's left to be seen what exactly the final title will be, still no details on the plot yet.
The other exciting news is that apparently there will be a 40-page sequel to 2003's The Tale of Urso Brunov: Little Father of All Bears with illustrator Alexi Natchev entitled Urso Brunov and the White Emperor!
No mention of Castaways Book 4, which could be delayed for 2009.
Doomwyte and the new Urso Brunov are scheduled for release on October 16, 2008.

Blaser, Strickland Named New Assistant USU Track & Field Coaches
Former Idaho Vandal And USU Aggie Track & Field Stars Join Utah State Veteran Gregg Gensel's Coaching Staff
Steve Strickland enters his first year on the coaching staff for Utah State's cross country and track & field teams. He will assist veteran head coach Gregg Gensel with the administration duties of the team, while also coaching the distance runners.
A native of Orem, Utah, Strickland competed for the Aggies in 2005 as well as 2007-2010, while serving a two-year LDS Church Mission to Louisville, Ky., from 2005-2007. He has spent the last two years getting his master's degree in Spanish literature at the University of Kansas.
As an Aggie, Strickland won eight individual Western Athletic Conference titles, including the 3,000m steeplechase at the WAC Outdoor Championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Strickland also won the 5,000m run at the 2009 WAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships as well as capturing the 3,000m title at the 2008 WAC Indoor Championships and titles in the mile run and distance medley relay at the 2010 WAC Indoor Championships.
Strickland also holds the school-record in the 3,000m steeplechase with a time of 8:42.71, while also ranking third in school history in the indoor 3,000m (8:10.67) and fifth in the indoor distance medley (9:59.09).
In 2009, Strickland finished 24th in the 3,000m steeplechase at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, while also competing at the USA Track and Field Championships. He also qualified for the USA Track and Field Championships in 2010.

Outrageous: Muslim man arrested for dancing on altar of Florence's BasilicaBy Thomas Peters
This boils my blood.
Apparently a Muslim man brought a boom-box to the Basilica of Florence, turned on Michael Jackson's song "Bad", and began dancing on the high altar. Here is the video.
Details beyond this are sketchy, but one report I found in Italian mentioned something about the man praying in Arabic constantly after he was detained in a cell. I realize there is a possibility that the man is mentally unstable but to execute something so precisely mocking of a sacred space and then to be detained afterwords so calmly seems to go against such a theory. He appears to wait and expect to be arrested once he sees security arrive.
I'll follow-up on this story more if I see anything more about it. I feel obliged to point out that this will probably receive scant mention in the mainstream media, even though if a Christian were to do something so mocking at a mosque it would get more attention, and local Christian leaders would feel obligated to apologize to the local Muslim authorities. I have seen no reports that local Muslim leaders have in fact issued any such conciliatory comment.
As for the man, God have mercy on his soul. I wonder what circle of hell Dante would say awaits him unless he repents.
Thomas…..IF your story is correct, it is to be seen as a very disrespectful action by an individual and he should be dealt with accordingly by the local police etc. What I dont understand is the comment you make about this not showing up in the "mainstream media". I have looked on the APwire, News from the Vatican, CNN, FoxNews (if you want to call that mainstream) BBCnews, Huffington Press, Basilica news etc. This does not appear in ANY of the above mentioned sites. The Vatican News today has a headline that reads "Homer Simpson is a Catholic" dont you think that if this is really a case of "muslim vs catholic" it would show up somewhere….especailly in the Vatican news. I may be speaking too early and Im not saying that this didnt happen. I watched the video. I think that you as a "blogger" or a journalist (what is your title exactly?) have a moral obligation to make sure that your story holds water. Then report the truth and THEN let people make their own comments. I understand that you add your opinions to articles which is great. I just think you have to be more responsible in putting out the true story first. The other comment that I want to point out is when you say "I wonder what circle of hell Dante says awaits him unless he repents". It sounds to me like you would almost rather have this man NOT repent just to see what happens. It is a little disturbing to me. Obviously this single individual that did this is probably a little crazy, maybe it was a dare, maybe it was more than that. The point is….you really dont know for sure that he was muslim etc. This is hype on your part at this point and kind of reminds me of the gossip I hear from the ladies on tennis court or the 7th grade girls that I took to the movies and for pizza on Saturday. Be more responsible….please.
Just out of curiosity, Leigh, why do you think a journalist from the mainstream media is more trustworthy than Thomas Peters? He's proven to have trustworthy sources in the past. In this case specifically, there's video of the incident, and the post above mentions an Italian report.
Vermont Crank

The Vatican rarely responds to acts of Muslim terror and aggression against it.
It prefers to chat rather than act.
Ibn Warraq ("Why I am not a Muslim")has experience with that pattern:
But when presented with actual opportunities to "interweave America's Muslim population into the mainstream society," Rauf and most of his fellow Muslims decline. Nearly ten years ago, I was the guest of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI) of Rome. PISAI is dedicated to interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims. But as the director at the time said to me, "There is no real dialogue, since Muslims never reciprocate the goodwill gestures made by the Christians. The result is we sit down together, and the Christians say what a wonderful religion Islam is, and the Muslims say what a wonderful religion Islam is." Rauf was invited to give a sermon in a church and did so, but he never reciprocated by inviting a Christian to give a sermon in a mosque. This, for Rauf and his ilk, would be unthinkable.
If The Vatican identified Islam as the mortal enemy it is, and always has been for nearly 14 Centuries, it would be then placing a heavy burden upon itself to act.
Few in the West are courageous enough to identify Islam as an enemy because folks get killed for telling that truth.
It is so much more pleasant to pretend that all religions are basically the same and that all religions desire basically the same things.
The Old Catholic Encyclopedia entry, "Mohammed and Mohammedanism," had it right: In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political spirit.
Vermont, you're not seeing the forest for the trees. Of course the Church recognizes Islam for what it is…a possessor of only part of the truth. And that is correct, they DO have part of the truth, for they believe in one God. It is their concept of Him that is flawed, as far as we know. Benedict XVI has entered into dialogue with them questioning how they view Him…is he wholly other and not subject to reason or truth (and therefore may condone irrational behavior) or is His very nature to be reasonable and rational (our concept of God)? The Holy Father has put the question to them (Regensberg, 2006) and was pleased to see that the leaders among the faithful Moslems worked together to try and answer his question. The ancient, pagan Greeks had part of the truth as well, for Plato and other philosophers had spoken of one God above all, who by His very nature was Reason itself (i.e., the Logos – which is why John used that GREEK word in his Gospel). It is YOUR job, MY job, and the Church's job to inform the world who their God is…the one they know is there but know nothing about. This includes Moslems, Jews, Hindus, Protestants, Orthodox, and poorly catechized Catholics. When you start railing, stop listening, and pine for the Orthodox or for stagnant schisms such as the SSPX, you have lost your moorings from the whole truth, which the Church has. You have to be willing to listen.
Vermont Crank
The Catholic Church does not publicly identify the reality that Islam believes in an irrational God who contradicts himself.
The Islamic word explaining away these absurd contradictions is abrogation
The Muslim reaction to the Pope's statements at Regensburg was for them to, collectively, pitch a fit, threaten Catholics, kill a Nun, burn Catholic Churches and their behavior required The Vatican to step-up their security.
But, since then end of Vatican Two, there is no shortage of Christians who believe in the magic of dialogue.
As to faithful Muslims, the Jihad warriors/terrorists are the most faithful followers of Allah and Mohammed and his traditions because it is they who actualise Allah's Commands and it is they who most closely mimic the behavior of Muslim's "Perfect man," Mohammed.
Bin Laden, routinely (he's prolly dead now) cited Suras of The Koran, and The Hadiths, in justifying his terror activities.
The idea Bin Laden, or any other Jihadist, "hi-jacked" Islam is but pernicious pro-islamic propaganda intended to keep potential victims ignorant and inattentive.
You stated that the Church has not publicly identified the reality that Islam believes in an irrational God. Pope Benedict publicly asked Muslims if they believe in a rational or irrational God in 2006 at the University of Regensberg. If you missed it, refer to it here: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg_en.html Once you read it, and understand it, you'll have a much clearer grasp on the ongoing relationship of Christianity to Islam. Resorting to violence and dismissing attempts at dialogue will solve nothing. Absolutely nothing. And its not as if we do not have thousands of years of bloody history to draw upon, leading up to today. Do you actually know any Muslims? Why don't you ask them what they believe and speak with them about Christianity? Then, you may come to understand why it is always important to ask questions first, before even loading your gun.
I'll add a few things to this discussion as well. Why disparage dialogue with Muslims? I can name numerous examples of Muslims who have converted to Christianity through dialogue and evangelizing discourse. Can you name any Muslims converted to Christianity by the sword? Further, can you point out to us Gospel, Church Father, or Catechismal passages that recommend converting non-believers by the sword and answering violence/persecution with more violence/persecution? Do you understand what apologies are (the defenses of the faith) and why they are written? Hint: Promoting reasoned dialogue is a good answer. Yes, there are some non-believers who cannot be reasoned with. They represent a micro-minority in the major religions (and anti-religions such as atheism). For everyone else, only a few billion or so, reasoned dialogue is a solid bet. You're seeing Neville Chamberlains behind every tree and under every rock, when they are just not there. Use your head and bury the chest-thumping Christian soldier routine. It only gets you killed intellectually, and often, physically and spiritually as well.
That all may be true…or not. My point was WHY would this story NOT be showing up ANYWHERE in the news or online or ANYWHERE other than religious based articles. As of this morning I was still unable to find it. I dont believe everything I read and in this case I dont speak Italian so I cannot understand what this newcaster is saying. I dont like for any group of people to take a "hit" when one individual does something bizarre and disrespectful. I would like more info please. If the story is true then so be it…..If its not true than Thomas would surely print some kind of update so that we all dont have the wrong idea about this incident. At least thats what I would prefer….but I do know that the world does not revolve around me but a girl can dream!
Concerning your phrase . . . "if a Christian were to do something so
mocking . . .", well, I posit that even the PROPOSED burning of the Koran brought such a hissy-fit among the Muslims that they killed a number of Christians and instigated an international panic as to the further repercussions of the actual deed, that it had to be stopped one way or another.
It is my sincere hope that we as Catholics bring to the fore this altar desecration deed to international awareness handeling it in such a way as to impress upon the reasonable mind that this act was serious and needs to have just punishment in a civil court. Further, as The Instument of Mercy in the world, the Church would forgive the culprit (repentence would be pretty swell here, but not crucial – I think of John Paul the Great here showing great mercy to his would be assassin [side note: I just looked up "assassin" to get the spelling right to find that it originally was the word for a Muslim who killed Christian leaders during the Crusades!!!])
Yet, serious as this is, we are not going to kill anyone over this. But yet, it is because we value life, not because we don't care if this sort of thing happens.
Let's pray that through the proper handeling of this incident and God's infinite Grace, many Muslims will be converted to God our Father, rather than suffering with a god who is their master.
Vermont Crank
I saw the video and my first response was to think – why were no Catholic men rushing forward to tackle this savage and haul his ass out of The Sanctuary?
What has happened to Catholic men?
Vermont Crank
Feminism and homosexualism is what has happened to Catholic men and that is why they sat there in The Basilica of St. Mary of The Flower and did nothing. And here is how it happened:
Man up. FAST
The Body of Christ is severely weakened (almost to the point of death) having been infected by the two deadly STDs (Socially Transmitted Diseases) of Feminism and Homosexualism. And The Body of Christ became weak and subject to infection because we, as Christians, have abandoned the ancient practices of Penance, especially fasting.
Luke 13:3 … but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
Consider Friday; a Universal, Mandatory Day of Penance. How many of us, instead of performing Penitential Acts, will be eating barbecue, hot dogs, hamburgers, or standing patiently before The Carving Station at the local Mr. Creosote Café?
Scourged and lashed by the Flagrums wielded by Feminists and Homosexuals, The Catholic Church has been driven to its own Calvary and the very worst part of that savage truth is that we have done it to ourselves by laxity in Penance and, especially, Fasting from flesh.
On Fridays, we Christians are fast to McDonalds and Last to Fast and so we have become weak girlie-men and our Church has become a sick joke.
Compare your local Parish to your local Orthodox Church.
Can you even imagine the men in those Orthodox Churches doing nothing if their Bishop began The Divine Liturgy with a joke and then proceeded to change the words of their Sacred Rite? They'd throw him out of The Church on his ear.
Can you imagine your Orthodox brothers sitting passively by while brain-dead barbarians came into their Church and began removing The Iconostasis and replacing it with some Felt Banners festooned with Renew Tree images?
Could you imagine your Orthodox brothers sitting by passively while a Muslim danced on their Altars to a Michael Jackson song?
Of course you can't imagine Orthodox men sitting still for that. The Orthodox Church is still run by men, not feminised and homosexualised males,and the Orthodox Church is filled with men, not feminised and homosexualised males,and one significant reason the Orthodox Church retains Tradition and remains masculine is that they, largely, have retained the ancient disciplines of Penance and Fasting.
Of course old school Catholics know there is an Iron Law that teaches that where there is a decrease in Penance and Fasting axiomatically there will be an increase in femininity and perversion:
"The Liturgical Year," Dom Gueranger: The History of Lent
"Should mankind grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God's glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.'More than a hundred years have elapsed since this solemn warning of the Vicar of Christ was given to the world; and during that time, the relaxation he inveighed against has gone on gradually increasing. How few Christians do we meet who are strict observers of Lent, even in its present mild form![22]
And must there not result from this ever-growing spirit of immortification, a general effeminacy of character, which will lead, at last, to frightful social disorders?"
As old school laymen in The Catholic Church we know we can not rely on The USCCB to restore what they destroyed. We are going to have to do it ourselves. It is crystal clear that we Christian men have been our own worst enemies.
It is time to Man Up and FAST and do Penance and strengthen The Body of Christ so it can cast-off its deadly afflictions of Feminism and Homosexualism and the Hootenanny Mass.
And what is with the ONE hour fast and abstinence before Communion?
Hell,I could eat Eggs Benedict, Home Fries, and Bacon, throw-down Three Bloody Marys, finish before 8:00 A.M. and STILL be Jake to go to Communion at the 9:00 A. M Mass. Are you kidding me? THAT is penitential?
No, but that is why Catholic men stood-by, passively, while a Muslim desecrated their Cathedral's Holy Altar.
That passivity ought to be a wake-up call. But it won't be.
Allowing Holy Consecrated Altars to be danced upon is going to construed as somehow acting Christ like.
Last Spring, I was in that Cathedral with my wife. I will guarantee you that if anyone tried that stunt in my presence, I'd have grabbed him and dragged him out of the Sanctuary.
Because it is the case that The Altar represents Jesus, the Muslim was dancing on Jesus and so it is true, as Bruce claimed, that the action gives us an opportunity to at as Christians, but standing-by idly while some Muslim dances on the Altar is not acting Christ-like.
It is the action of another Judas, not another Jesus
You need to remember that the Orthodox Church is in schism with the Body of Christ, and while there are many holy men (and women!) in that church, they are still separated and in need of the fullness of the faith. That said, yes, the Church has problems with dissent, but when has it not? Were not the Apostles dissenters of Christ Himself when He walked the earth? Did they not all refuse to believe at one time or another, run away when the going got tough, or outright betray Him? Yes. The same has been true throughout the ages, for we are fallen creatures, and we fall constantly. There was only one Immaculate Conception, and it wasn't you or I. For all those you rail against, and yes their behaviors are often sinful, you must remember that they are human beings no different than yourself. For your sins, Vermont, and for my sins, we deserve death…eternal and ever-lasting. The same sentence for those you speak of. We are ALL in need of Christ, and therefore, we ALL need to be humble and compassionate. Tell the truth? Of course, but we must do so remembering that WE NEED TO HEAR IT just as much as they.
Vermont Crank
Dear Bruce. I was not writing about Doctrine. I was writing about the actions/behaviors of The Orthodox men and what has been allowed to go on inside their Churches and how that is different than what Catholic men have allowed/allow.
I have traveled to Greece – Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos – and visited many Churches and did not see one which had been wreckovated.
And, to me at least, it is not even possible to imagine Orthodox men sitting passively by while some Muslim savage danced on their altars.
There is an Iron Law that teaches a decrease in Penitential Acts leads to an increase in effeminacy.
All one has to do is look around to observe the truth of that law.
What would you do if you were in a Church and a Muslim came inside with a Boom Box, turned it on, and began to dance on the Altar?
I know what I'd do – grab him and drag his ass out of the Church.
When he was dancing on the Altar, he was dancing on Jesus and if that is an action that does not call forth a vigorous and forceful male response then I do not know what does.
Last Spring, I was in Firenze/Florence; and I was inside The Basilica of St. Mary of The Flower, and if I had been there the other day, that clown would not have even made it to the Altar.
Any video of the incidence would have shown me dragging that clown out of the Basilica.
The very fact that so many (as of now 7 dislike)object to masculine action is proof itself of how far effeminacy has advanced inside the Body of Christ.
You didn't respond to my post nor address my criticisms, but instead restated what you said before. I would hazard a guess that you're not interested in opposing viewpoints. With that in mind, all I can say is that you really need to look at this with a Christian mind. In other words, using reason, compassion, and relying on objective truth. If, instead, you approach this scenario using strawman arguments, emotions, and irrational logic, you'll only continue to be frustrated and ultimately find yourself outside of the Christian community and the Body of Christ.
My guess is that if a Christian were to do something like this at a mosque, they would have been executed.
What an awful thing for him to do. Shameful.
Though there is plenty of shameful things that happen to mosques as well. Here is a very quick google search:
Phoenix Mosque vandalized
Four arrested in Bedouin mosque vandalism
Threats and intimidation are part of a widening investigation into the vandalism at the site of the planned new Islamic Center in Murfreesboro, TN
Central Calif. Mosque Vandalism Called Hate Crime
Mosque vandalism in Hudson, NY
Disrespect is hardly one-sided.
Scott W.
"Disrespect is hardly one-sided." No one suggested it was.
Well, the Lord has given us a wonderful opportunity to behave as Christians, and forgive this man, but also offer him the Gospel…the truth that his religion has denied from the start. We can be Christ to him…who forgave those who spit on Him, insulted Him, beat Him, and hung Him on a cross to die. What this Moslem fellow did was inflict pain on the Body of Christ, and we must ask ourselves how we can glorify God with this pain we have been given. I say we forgive him and then introduce him to Christ through our actions and words. He is our brother, and bound for eternal damnation, which if we truly love him (and homosexuals, and abortionists, and terrorists) we owe him the truth.

Texas A&M, ranked 18th in one poll and 19th in the other, hardly looked the part of a Top 20 team on Thursday night.
There are multiple reasons.
The Aggies have been without their new head coach, Billy Kennedy, up until a week ago - and are also playing without their top player, Khris Middleton.
Is it unfair to judge this team right now?
"Yes and no," Texas A&M's Elston Turner said after the 69-60 loss to Mississippi State on Thursday night.
Turner said that with or without Middleton, who will likely miss the next couple of weeks after knee surgery, the defense must be upgraded.
"We miss him," Turner said. "And we can't wait until he comes back."
"When he does come back, you'll see a different team," he added.
Maybe one that can challenge Baylor, Kansas and Missouri for the the Big 12 title.
Realistically, freshman Jamal Branch may be the Aggies top option at the point. Starter and veteran Dash Harris struggled and was just 1-of-8 from the field with three assists and two turnovers. David Loubeau is a solid inside guy and Turner, a Washington transfer, gives the team a quality perimeter threat. There is no shortage of role guys.
But Middleton gives the Aggies a go-to guy, someone capable of going for 20 on any given night.
It's not just the absence of Middleton, who led the team in scoring last season. It's also the players trying to adapt to a new system - under a head coach that hasn't been around all that much after being diagnosed with early onset of Parkinson's Disease.
"It's going to take time," Kennedy said.

Symetra Tour golfer Julia Boland: What's in your bag?
Published: Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 8:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 8:04 a.m.
HOMETOWN: Tamworth, Australia
COLLEGE: University of Sydney and Texas A&M
HER BAG: Standing guard over Boland's clubs, while perched atop her driver, is Ol' Sarge, whom Texas A&M fans will recognize as the Aggies' longtime mascot.
"He's a bit grumpy, but he's served me well," said Boland, who also sports a Texas A&M head cover for her hybrid and a wild-maned lion.
ALSO: The rest of Boland's bag is rather dull, she admits — even her big catch-all pocket down low.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia - I had an epic day of reporting and logistics on Tuesday - women's and men's cross country sprints at one venue followed by women's ski jumping at another and was a little spacey on Wednesday by the time I got on the bus at 11 p.m. to go home.
Earlier in the day I covered Julia Mancuso's downhill race and then doubles luge at night, and as I walked off the bus from the sliding center and headed to the bus to go home, a girl chased after me yelling "Where are your gloves? Where are your gloves?"
I looked at my hands and discovered that I, in fact, was not wearing them. I've been living in ...

Looking for a pro-level video camera that's somewhere south of an ARRI ALEXA or RED ONE but still impressive-looking enough (and feature-packed) to not be mistaken for an average, off-the-shelf prosumer camera? Then you might want to consider Canon's new XF305 and XF300 models, which both come in under $8,000 and not only offer the usual native 1080p recording, but support for recording directly to CompactFlash cards as well. Both cameras also use the same MPEG-2 4:2:2 50Mbps codec and DIGIC DV III image processor, and pack the same 4-inch LCD, 0.52-inch electronic viewfinder, built-in stereo microphone and dual XLR audio inputs, while the XF305 adds support for multi-camera or 3D setups as well. Hit up the gallery below for a closer look, and look for both cameras to be available in later June.

Thanks to FragranceX.com I found my favorite eau de toilette, after a year of looking for in several stores in town. The tracking of the order was very accurate, and I even received a e-mail with the exact date of the delivery. I also like to thank them to be a sponsor of "Music of Your Life" network that plays the best music ever recorded.

This is my fave of all the Tommy Bahama scents. After the top notes, the tuberose and frangipani really stand out. After a recent trip to Hawaii, having tuberose and frangipani leis, this brings back wonderful memories, and very authentic to the actual flowers.
The bottle is very pretty. It has a peach color with a beautiful iridescent finish. I've been looking for a nice Tuberose scent, and this one is a keeper.

It is not easy to find Tommy Bahama for Her. I am kind of glad, because I like to have my own special scent. I do not make very much money. I could not afford to buy this product anywhere else. Even if I could, I would still buy from this company, as I feel loyal to the company. When I have made mistakes, I have called customer service, and they are top notch. Each time they are gracious, patient, reassuring, and resolve whatever is the matter. I hope this company does well. It seems to be a well run compnay, well organized, respectable, respecting, and honest.

December 1, 2015
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) - A spell of warm, dry weather has
forced two Sierra ski resorts to postpone their season openings.
Heavenly and Kirkwood resorts had planned to open this week after a wet start to November. But a week of warm and dry weather during the middle part of the month has pushed back their opening dates to at least Thanksgiving weekend.
Heavenly, which has Lake Tahoe's most expansive snowmaking operation, announced on its Web site that the resort will open when
conditions allow.
"The forecast for the next five days calls for a cooling trend that should give us better snowmaking temperatures," said resort spokesman Russ Pecoraro.
Kirkwood said it will open Thanksgiving weekend, conditions permitting.
With the recent high temperatures, resorts have been unable to maximize their snowmaking capabilities.

Just in time for Miami's Art Basel, Nicky Hilton will host the Gift a Lift for Paralysis benefit event on prestigious Star Island on Saturday. It's a for what seems like a great local organization that helps children and adults with growth related disorders. It's also the "first look" at Nicky's highly anticipated and delayed hotel and condo, Nicky O. The delay, in fact, has caused Nicky to lose her rights to the key to the City…until the hotel opens – now scheduled for April 2007. She'll donate 10% of condo sales that are made during the event to the Danielle DeMarzo Foundation. But you'll have to pay the $1500 ticket price to get into the party before you can sign on the dotted line. But that will be no problem for Pamela Anderson, Gloria Estefan, and Shaquille O'Neal, who are already on the guest list for the benefit.
Art Basel brings lots of celebs into town, so Nicky shouldn't have a hard time filling the chairs at this benefit. Lindsay Lohan, Al Gore's buddy, won't be in attendance, though. She's got her own event at Mynt to deal with. There will be lots of famous faces in the art world, too. To help you recognize them, New York Magazine even published a cheat sheet to help you know who's who when wandering around this weekend. Though I doubt you wouldn't recognize Yoko Ono.

Takedowns To Get To Dominant Positions
Let's be real, if you want to win BJJ tournaments, you've gotta add takedowns to your game. Just ask Buchecha. After showing some Takedown Basics in a previous YouTube video, I got a lot of questions about head-outside shots, along the lines of "aren't you going to get guillotined if you shoot with your head on the outside?" Yes, if poorly executed, a head outside shot does leave you open to chokes, but the same […] Read more »

How To Hit A Straight Arm Lock From The Half Guard
We all have that one move or position that seems to be a pest no matter how hard we focus or train to get better at it. It varies from grappler-to-grappler, but a very common position many people seem to have problems with is the half guard. This is understandable given that it's a tough spot to be in and it limits many of your potential attacks. Having your legs tangled up and your back […] Read more »
How To Master Your Half Guard & Butterfly Guard

It allows you to work on your half guard fundamentals, along with an abundance of simple and more complex sweeps. By getting on my […] Read more »
Akihiko Sato Vs Paulo Miyao
Every so often we get a match or two that is pure tactical warfare. A "wait-and-see" approach is taken, with both grapplers waiting for the other to slip up so they can capitalize on the opportunity. Lasting the entire length of the match, they may not have many highlights, but you can see the strategy of the grapplers in action. The match between light featherweights, Akihiko Sato and Paulo Miyao, was not one of those […] Read more »

Increasing Your Grip Strength And Become A Grip Fighting Master
As a Jiu Jitsu practitioner I can tell you, as can so many others instructors, that grip strength is of HUGE importance when it comes to success on the mats.

It is unfortunate, but nearly half of all accidents occur at the workplace. When seeking Personal Injury Solicitors Manchester residents who have been injured at work have options. Before selecting personal injury solicitors, Manchester residents should get as much information as possible. The old saying that information is power still hold true.
One reason it is so important to have as much information as possible when choosing personal injury solicitors is because it can often be difficult for employees to bring a claim for compensation if injuries at the workplace have been sustained. Many employees are afraid that they may suffer repercussions if they file a claim for their injuries. When selecting personal injury solicitors, Manchester workers should keep in mind that under UK law all employers are obliged to have Employer's Liability Insurance. This insurance is used to cover employers should one of their employees be injured in the workplace. Also, employees should understand that legal action can be taken against employers who discriminate against employees simply because they are pursuing a legitimate compensation claim for accident injuries against them.
The fact is, in the UK, there is a growing body of laws with which employers must comply with or risk both criminal and civil prosecution. Personal injury solicitors in Manchester can explain these new laws to you if needed. Again, having as much information as possible is often key to success.
For those seeking personal injury solicitors Manchester injured workers should first understand that one of the most practical steps to take is to apply for their statutory sick pay if they are going to be off work for a period of time. These payments can be made for up as many as 28 weeks. If they employee is still not able to work after six months, he or she should consider making a claim for long-term invalidity or disablement benefits. Some employees may also have certain contractual payments that they may be entitled to as well.
It is also important to ensure that your accident is noted in the firm's accident record book which is required by law if the firm has more than 10 employees. Should you discover that there is no record book, or that no one has made a note of the incident, you should advise your employer in writing as to what happened during the accident as well as inform the employer of the injuries you have suffered.
Generally speaking, those injured at work will have to that the employer caused the injury because of their failure to take reasonable care to prevent such injuries. Keep in mind that there are different standards for employees, sub-contractors and visitors to the premises.
The employer must show that they provided a safe way for you to carry out your work, and that they provided safe premises in which to work. They must also provide evidence that they had available suitable materials and equipment, plus training and supervision in how to use them.
By understanding the above, those seeking personal injury solicitors in Manchester can make the most informed decision as to who to hire and to work with when filing a claim.
Personal Injury Solicitors Manchester offer assistance to those injured. Visit the site to learn more.
