Third Sunday of Lent
(Click here for readings)
Jesus came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there. Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well. It was about noon. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." …The woman said to him, "How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?"
Christ is turning my life upside down, which means right-side up.
Is anyone to small for God? As a priest, it irritates me to no end how some people pray for others but not for themselves! Really? Who doesn't need God's blessings? Most often the guilty ones are moms and grandmothers. "I just ask God to look after my children and grandchildren. I don't ask Him for anything else." Give me a break!
Not too long ago, I overheard someone tell their friend they were praying to God to get into the college of their first choice. The friend said in reply, "Why are you bothering the Lord with that? Don't you know He has more important things to do?" Wow! I couldn't believe it. Come on! Is God really too busy with bigger things? Does He not care about our problems? Are we too little for him? Do our problems have to be big to warrant his attention?
The Jews often tested the Lord by saying: "Is the Lord in our midst or not?" (Ex. 17:7).
Jesus passed the test. In fact, He spent a great deal of quality time with little people who had more or less little problems. Surprise! Who would have thought? The Jews imagined a God who would have spent all his time with emperors and kings, not common folks and fishermen.
A little woman with a little problem. The Samaritan woman wasn't a queen or a princess. She wasn't even a Jew. She was a nobody: a reject, a loser, a lost cause. She was helpless (cf. Rom. 5:5-8). At noon she went to the well to fetch some water. Noon? This fact speaks volumes. It means she was trying to avoid people, for nobody in their right mind went to a well at noon. They either went early in the morning or late at night, when the temperature was cooler. So why was she their? To avoid embarrassment and punishment. But it was precisely at that hour she encountered the Lord.
The Lord rejected cultural habits, stereotypes and prejudices. By speaking to her, he broke three rules: (1) never speak to a woman in public; (2) never speak to a Samaritan; (3) never use (touch) something used (touched) by a sinner.
She was helpless. Jesus knew everything about this woman and still…He spoke to her. Why? Because He is a hopeless romantic. He follows His heart.
Our human tendency is to judge others because of stereotypes, customs or prejudices. That's wrong. But what do we do when they fit the stereotype? What do we think if they are awful people? What do we do then?
I know what the Lord does. He reaches out to them.
A week ago I read the following: "You can't hang around negative people and expect to live a positive life." I liked it. I even tweeted it.
But today I disagree with it. The Lord hung around a lot of negative people and lived a very positive life.
Titus Brandsma, a Dominican priest, hung around a lot of Nazis while he was imprisoned in a concentration camp. He never gave in to negativity, bitterness or anger. This, of course, got the Nazis mad at him. So when they threw him into solitary confinement, they were amazed at what he did. He wrote a poem, a love poem. This is what he wrote:
I see thy loving eyes on me;
love overflows my humble heart,
knowing what faithful friend thou art.
which I accept for love of thee.
Thy painful way I wish to go;
the only way to God I know.
although in pain, this light shines bright.
For here thou keepest to thy breast
my longing heart, to find there rest.
in cell where never sunlight shone.
Should no one ever speak to me,
this golden silence makes me free!
never wert thou, O Lord, so near.
Sweet Jesus, please abide with me;
my deepest peace I find in thee.
How did he do it? How did he stay so positive? It's clear: Titus was a man of God. He was deeply rooted in Jesus Christ.
Titus Brandsma, pray for us!
Let's accept the Lord's challenge. Break with the stereotypes, customs and prejudices. SPEND TIME WITH NEGATIVE PEOPLE!!!
You will live not only a positive life, but a life more like Jesus Christ.

In this undated image released by Beef Products Inc., boneless lean beef trimmings are shown before packaging. The debate over "pink slime" in chopped beef is hitting critical mass. The term, adopted by opponents of "lean finely textured beef," describes the processed trimmings cleansed with ammonia and commonly mixed into ground meat. Federal regulators say it meets standards for food safety. Critics liken it to pet food - and their battle has suddenly gone viral amid new media attention and a snowballing online petition. (AP Photo/Beef Products Inc.)

National grocers stop buying "pink slime" meat
At least three national supermarket operators have decided to stop buying ground beef that contains the filler now known as "pink slime."

Weight Loss the Chinese Way
China is not exactly known as being a country of fat people, on the contrary the Chinese seem to have an amazing genetic gift, the gift of being slim with seemingly no work involved in maintaining it. Many stunning, slim Chinese girls seem to avoid physical exertion at all costs, even if it means getting their equally if not slimmer boyfriends to give them a piggyback up a mountain! This kind of attitude makes us foreign gals rage particularly when you walk in the shop only to be told your a "fat" XL or worse XXL when back home you were a S/M!
"But I actually exercise! I struggle up mountains without being carried, thank you very much and you're calling me FAT!"
And then I discovered the secret, the Chinese secret to staying slim and it's surprisingly simple and effortless for a country that tends to make everything unnecessarily complicated!
I can imagine what your thinking, its some kind of new exercise equipment based on ancient Chinese Kung Fu practices or it's a new diet shake that uses the principles of Chinese medicine and a few dried animal parts that you would never want to consume. But oh no it's not that complicated!
The secret to Chinese weight loss….wait for it……………………………………………………is a pair of SOCKS!
Yep, you read right, losing weight in China is as simple as wearing some Japanese designed fat buster compression socks. Just slip on a pair of these socks, get a leg massage and watch the fat melt off!
These magical socks (available at all good supermarkets) are such an amazing invention I have no clue why they haven't caught on in the west! They would be far more comfortable then wearing those electrical muscle stimulating pads that apparently make you lose weight while watching TV. These socks make losing weight so easy! Just sit there in your socks while you burn 416 Kcal per hour! BRILLIANT!
…but wait a sec, there's a catch. To lose the advertised 416 Kcal per hour you can't just sit on your butt, oh no you have to walk for at least 50 minutes while wearing the socks!
HANG ON if you walked 50 minutes everyday wouldn't you lose weight anyway? Exercise tends to do that!
So as it turns out weight loss the Chinese way is no different to everywhere else, yep, unfortunately that means we all better get off out butts and head out for a brisk walk! I must admit I'm a little sad that these socks aren't as magical as they seem but really who can trust anything a flying fat pig dressed like a superhero says!
What crazy weight loss products have you come across in China or around the world?

If you have considered adopting speech technologies in your contact center, you owe it to yourself to attend this session. Join Aspect Software and Health Net as we explore the capabilities necessary to knock down the barriers to bringing speech-enabling self-service into the contact center.
Key topics will include:
Why your customers should be and will be demanding speech-enabled self-service applications
What challenges this demand for speech-enabled self-service applications will bring to your contact center
What tangible benefits speech-enabled self-service applications provide for your contact center
What capabilities are necessary to meet the needs of not only the consumer, but also the contact center, while delivering a mutually beneficial result
Health Net Case Study:
In the healthcare industry, contact center managers face extraordinary challenges balancing cost pressures, patient privacy and more – all while delivering a high level of service to plan members.
Serving more than six million members and network providers nationwide, Health Net, Inc. is working to achieve this balance by leveraging the power of speech technology. Health Net's center receives 230,000 calls a month from members and providers. To manage the volume, address strategic business and service goals and improve the bottom line, Health Net has deployed a self-service solution that utilizes advances such as speech recognition and voiceprint identification technology from Nuance. With the solution in place, Health Net is able to offer callers quick, automated access to information, and at the same time protect patient privacy and keep contact center costs in check. In this session, Remus Siclovan, a senior systems analyst with Health Net's Call Center Group will discuss how Health Net has been able to:
Provide self-service options for members and providers that are more personal and easier to use than touch tone interfaces. (Customer satisfaction with the automated system now averages 90 percent.)
Enhance security, privacy and HIPAA compliance using voiceprint identification.
Free up service representatives to handle live requests more efficiently, since they are less burdened by repetitive and time-consuming transactions.
As the director of business process marketing for customer service at Aspect Software, Tom Chamberlain is responsible for identifying growth areas for the organization in the customer service industry and helping create corporate and product strategy to support development and expansion in the market.
As an expert in customer service, Tom believes that the core value that Aspect Software offers to companies in the customer service industry is to provide products and services that help solidify business relationships with customers while delivering results and minimizing waste. In addition, he provides strategic involvement with sales customer service opportunities.
Tom joined Aspect Software in 1988.

Singer Akon has a lot to say about relationships and monogamy. The 40-year-old singer, who hit with Konvicted in 2006, says that his polygamous relationships (he reportedly had five children with four wives as of 2007) are actually the norm and he's just being upfront and honest about it. In 2007, his 23-year-old fiancee told the media she'd decided against being his fifth "wife" saying that although he didn't live with any of them, and had been honest about their existence she could no longer see herself in that kind of relationship.
TMZ talked to Akon at Los Angeles International airport and he was candid on his feelings about monogamy. He told the TMZ cameraman that "You find that one woman that supplies everything that you desire in a woman, of course that will be a motivation to stick with that one woman, but I don't know no one woman that can satisfy every man's one need. It's impossible. Just like there's not one man that can satisfy a woman's every need, but women aren't built to breed like that or mate with more than one partner. Women aren't built that way, men are."
Akon went on to say that just about every man he knows has multiple girlfriends (but he is in the music business). We hope that doesn't apply to all of his family, as actress Tracee Ellis Ross has been rumored to be his brother's girlfriend. He also says that men are put on this earth to breed and that women are here to provide them with a source to do so.

About Knox Farm State Park
Knox Farm State Park Website Link
Knox Farm is a beautiful 633 acre state park located just outside East Aurora,
New York. The park is a small oasis of green space set among homes, businesses and busy roads.
The former Ess Kay Farm is comprised of a variety of natural habitats, including meadows, woodlands,
ponds and wetland areas. The parks' 400 acres of grasslands and pastures support plant and animal species that are dependent
on these unique habitats for survival. The aquisition of Ess Kay Farm by New York State represented an opportunity to preserve
these grasslands, an important habitat that is disappearing throughout the Northeast.

The Elaysians are a humanoid civilization native to a low-gravity planet.
The Elaysian physique and neural motor cortex is adapted to cope with a low gravity; on their homeworld they are virtually able to "fly". When exposed to Earth-normal gravity environments they need physical support to function. The type of support varies but includes wearing an external skeleton with integrated servomotors which helps by supporting the person's own skeleton, although this only functions for short periods of time. For longer-term physical support other forms of support are needed, like a wheelchair or an anti-grav unit.
A medical treatment was developed by Doctor Julian Bashir based on earlier neuromuscular adaptation research by Nathaniel Teros. By elevating the neural output to the brain's motor cortex via neural analeptic transmitters, he improved his theory and made this treatment possible. The drawback of this treatment is that if started, no exposure to low gravity environments is advised because this would confuse the person's body and motor cortex. When finished, the person can move naturally in Earth-normal gravity as most typical humanoids. The results of the treatment are irreversible.
Only a handful of Elaysians have ever left their planet. One of those people was Melora Pazlar, who became the first Elaysian to enter Starfleet. (DS9: "Melora")
- Named
- Unnamed
Elaysians were introduced along with several other species from the same planet. The Elaysian homeworld was called "Gemworld" as the planet had virtually expired, and was being held together only by the technological feats of it inhabitants. (Gemworld, Book One, Gemworld, Book Two)

Why China is No Longer a Communist Country
I saw Chairman Mao one time in Beijing. Or at least I thought it was Chairman Mao. I was only able to glance at him for five short seconds before a somber faced security guard prodded myself and hundreds of other people out of the Chairman Mao Mausoleum and back onto Tiananmen Square. Yes, Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China still takes up residence in Beijing. Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world throw flowers at his casket every year; they crane their necks as I did to get a glimpse of China's 'great' leader.
While Mao's body has been amazingly preserved since his death in 1976, it seems that his spirit has not survived the test of time. He may lie in eternal peace inside his Mausoleum but the world around him has changed considerably; China is no longer the gray and drab country that it was during Mao's time. It is now a place where people can dream and then go out and make that dream come true. It is not like the old days. People other than just high government officials can drive cars. Chinese people can do business and store up wealth for themselves. Peasants can go to the university now; finding food to eat is no longer such a grave concern. Just around the corner from where Chairman Mao lies in State, the American restaurant chain McDonald's is full of Chinese people enjoying greasy food and a cool environment. Inside homes, people can watch Western movies on DVD and even occasionally on state owned television. The world is just a mouse click away for the millions of Chinese people who have access to the Internet. Friends and family are no longer afraid of discussing politics with each other. It is even acceptable to criticize the government behind closed doors. All this is happening as Chairman Mao sleeps peacefully at Tiananmen Square. If only he knew.
I recently asked my Chinese friends how they thought Chairman Mao would react if he was suddenly brought back to life in the 21st century. "Not happy" and "Disappointed" were the most common answers that I received; I was not surprised by such responses. After all, it is difficult to find very many reasons to label China as communist these days. The ruling party in China still calls itself communist. The international media still likes to refer to China as a communist giant. But where is communism still manifested in China today? Where are the basic Communist values of sharing and equality evident in Chinese society now? They cannot be found. Quite simply, China is no longer a communist country.
If we are looking for evidence of communism in China, the first and most important place to look is at the economy. The economy in China is now decidedly capitalistic in nature. Average Chinese citizens can start their own businesses and put their income into private bank accounts. Chinese citizens can buy stocks in companies and enjoy the revenues or suffer the losses. As of just a few years ago, private property rights have been greatly enhanced in China, and Chinese people can now be more secure that their land will not be taken away from them. Let us not forget about the heavy international investment that has been permitted in China which has played a major role in fueling this developing and booming economy. As a result, there are very rich people and very poor people in China as well as an emerging middle class. Chinese citizens, who always carried a good sense for business but were restricted from entrepreneurship in the past have now been more free to take risks and build successful companies. Thus capitalism has transformed the Chinese economy and changed people's lives forever.
Does the Chinese government still maintain strict control of the economy in China? Absolutely. Is there a free market in China in the true sense of the word? Of course not. But where is there truly a free market in the world? Does one exist? Can someone show me a country where the government is not heavily invovled in its nation's economy? The CCP's control on China's economy may be unusually tight but it has been weakening very slowly over the past 30 years.
People often ask me about human rights when we are discussing whether or not China is still communist. There is undoubtedly still a major problem with human rights in China. Citizens are still beaten by the police when they are arrested. Christians are still persecuted for worshipping in unregistered churches. Women are still being forced to have abortions if they are discovered to be pregnant with a second "illegal" child. But even the issue of human rights really has little to do with China's status as a communist country. There are many other countries in the world, such as Sudan and Zimbabwe, for example, that are also guilty of human right atrocities which we do not label as communist. What about Hitler and Mussolini? They murdered their own people but yet their systems of government were labeled differently. Human rights violations do not just belong to communism; they transcend all political parties and systems. They can happen anywhere.
If there is one place in China where we can still see some elements of the old communist system still at work, perhaps it is in the structure of the Chinese Communist Party itself which has not changed drastically since Mao's time. But the CPC has changed greatly in terms of its ideology since Chairman Mao left the helm. Following the death of Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping sought to restructure the Communist Party and move towards what he called "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics." Since then, it appears that the CPC has more or less rejected the fierce Marxism that fueled early Chinese communism instead choosing to take a more socialistic approach to the obstacles that confront the country. While the Chinese people still have little say in what goes on in their government, the Chairman of China is no longer such a cult personality as before and these days the burden of policy making is being shared by more and more people in the government. There is still one party rule in China but the power is no longer so concentrated in one man's hand.
If China is no longer communist, then how can it be labeled? "China is now a socialist country," some Chinese students explained to me while we were discussing world political systems recently. They told me how these days, for a mere 15 (just over 2 USD) RMB per year, some form of limited health insurance is available to almost every Chinese citizen. Senior citizens who are unable to fully support themselves can apply for some financial help from the government. There are also a number of programs available to help underprivileged students go to the university. "Our government helps the poor much more now," they tell me. "It is much easier to get help now." Most of the Chinese people I talk with agree with this sentiment although many still prefer the communist label.
Two questions thus remain. First, if China is no longer a communist country, then why does the Communist Party still hold on to its name? Second, why does the world still insist on labeling China as a communist country if it has moved so far towards a quasi-socialist system with capitalist characteristics? It is easy to arrive at an answer for the first question. Marxism may have disappeared from the Party ideology in China, but nationalism is as strong as ever in China. The mere mention of the Communist Party and all the great deeds it has done for China invokes pride and adoration in the average Chinese person's heart. In this way, Chairman Mao, while his ideals may have died with him, still lives on as an icon which can excite the Chinese people and remind them how far they have come and far they can still go. Maintaining the communist label can also benefit the Chinese government in that it can compare itself to North Korea and Cuba. When the world complains about 'communist' China and all of its problems, the Chinese government can simply point to the two other communist governments and remind the world how far China has come. In this way, China can always be the world's 'favorite Communist country.' The second question is not so easy to answer. However, there is no question that the United States government, for example, can benefit from still labeling the Chinese government as communist. The U.S. does view China as a threat and any future confrontation with the PRC will most assuredly be waged under the banner of 'fighting communism.' Human rights organizations are also prone to label China as communist because it helps their cause. People in the West are and have always been afraid of communism and for good reason. Government and human rights organizations are more likely to garner support from the public if the name 'communism' is invoked in their rhetoric.
Thus, I must agree with my friends and students. Chairman Mao would most likely be very unhappy with the state of current affairs in China if he were brought back to life. Instead of a nation of destitute and poor peasants struggling to find food, China is now a country featuring rich and poor people as well as success and failure. It is a nation that has tasted of the fruits of capitalism and yearns for more. There is little equality here but at least there is now room for social mobility. Everyday, I hear of great success stories; I hear of people who worked hard and made a comfortable life for themselves and their family. And as the world witnessed in the aftermath of the Sichan earthquake, those in China who do have more are willing to give to help their fellow citizens. This is how communism works best; when it comes from the heart.

Haven't China just bought the US's debt?
So, does that now make Democratic America owned by Communist China?
I don't think that China is a communist country anymore. I also don't believe (being British) that England is a socialist country.
I hear from (mainly Americans) so often that England is socialist, especially when they like to criticise our NHS. The NHS (National Health Service) was set up to ensure that EVERYONE, regardless of how much they earn can get medical help if they need it. The NHS was started after the second world war to make sure that the nation became strong and healthy after the conflicts.
There are so many political buzzwords that are given positive and negative meaning and then thrown at everyone. England (Wales, Scotland and Ireland have their own parliaments) is a democratic country, but it's been f***ked over by a government. China is supposedly a communist country that is thriving through the economic distress. Democratic is supposed to be positive, whilst Communist is supposed to be negative. Which one has done more damage?
I have this conversation with my students quite often. I feel that the Chinese government, while not perfect, have a better grasp on their country than the supposedly good democratically elected governments. I don't know about the US's terms, but England hold elections every four years. That means that a government can only plan and implement policies for four years. After that, it is possible that another government can come in and abolish the former policies. The Chinese government can make a plan and stick to it. No, no-one really knows what their long-range plan is, but if they say it will take 20 years, then they'll still be in power for that 20 years to see it through.
Maybe just Unelected or Inherited would be a better way to describe the Chinese government. Neither of those has particularly negative connotations.
Maybe, just maybe there needs to be a new political term – Undecided. So many nations take different parts of different political systems that they don't have a set political stance anymore, they work out the mixed stance that works for them.
China is still developing. It is developing not only it's economy (very successfully) but also everything else – the buildings, the people, the attitudes. So maybe in 20, or 30 years it can be given a new label.

Hi Fee,
I agree that there are so many political buzzwords and we need to correct people – and it seems even you fell into it here: You said 'Democratic is supposed to be positive, whilst Communist is supposed to be negative' and even the article above used such words out of context! What do I mean… Democratic is a form of governance where as Communist is a form of economic ideology. We cannot, must not fall into that trap! There is a difference after all – otherwise parties using the label Social Democrat would not exist ; 2 words to describe 2 different things together – social being a softer form of communism and democratic for representational democracy party.
Lets keep in mind that the only state to ever get close to what Marx envisioned for Communism was Cuba,… which finally, loosened its dream because the rest of the world had not evolved enough. Seriously, how could anyone expect a small island to be able to provide well for all of its citizens in a world that abandoned and embargoed it for so long. We are all interdependent and we must begin to accept and work all together.
I did like the observation that the government of China is able to stick to longer term plans, which I do agree. In most democracies it is all too often swept away by the newest headlines and candidates empty promises. However I do not agree we need new words to describe the government of China.
There is only one phrase to describe the government in China and that is 'A one party dictatorship'. China fits that definition because only one small group of people following the same edict are chosen non democratically to manage the country. It could also be called an ideological oligarchy.
The word dictatorship may seem demeaning because there are more examples of terrible dictatorships throughout history than benign ones, but like any form of government there can be good and bad (for the people and the country)… for example: a decent modern day dictatorship is monarchy of Bhutan.
That being said, I for one, do not believe dictatorships to be better than democracies. I believe both systems have their problems but I also understand that societies with more people able to be heard and discuss openly, to make decisions together and to act of their own free will are in the long run better for all the citizens of that country. That is why democracies are important. At least the dream of them which is far from the reality of most of them.
I hope for participatory and direct democracy systems for everyone on earth in the future. For now, lets at least call things as they are. China is a dictatorship.
So to close: China has a dictatorial socialist government balanced with a very capitalistic economy. The poor, rich gap is expanding and China will, (as every other nation will) have problems with capitalism as it moves forward for many reasons which I don't have the time to get into right now.

Delta's Interest in Virgin Turns Off Investors
TheStreet) -- It's good to have as much access as possible to London's Heathrow Airport, isn't it? Investors aren't so sure, apparently. News of Delta's (DAL - Get Report) interest in ownership in Virgin Atlantic Airways, widely reported over the weekend, was followed by a 4% decline in Delta's share price on Monday. The shares closed Friday at $10, closed Monday at $9.62 and then recovered slightly to close Wednesday at $9.71.Virgin hold 44 daily long-haul slot pairs at Heathrow, as well as 12 daily short-haul slot pairs. Delta could potentially gain access to the long-haul slots if it is successful in talks with Singapore Air, which holds 49% of Virgin. Still, in a note issued Tuesday, JP Morgan analyst Jamie Baker wrote: "We broadly share the market's concern regarding a potential investment in Virgin Atlantic by Delta." He said Virgin's financial results "are uninspiring and the business seems geared more towards brand than profit." Delta shareholders worry that the carrier's interest "represented a departure from its current, capitally-prudent deleveraging strategy -- a potentially reckless reversion to the more swashbuckling airline days of yore," Baker wrote. "Most stakeholders broadly assume (as do we) that dividends, share buybacks or some sort of further debt reduction (pension funding, perhaps?) should continue to occupy the top of management's capital allocation wish list once the company achieves its $10 billion net debt target next year." At the same time, Baker said, "Delta's limited Heathrow access is a corporate disadvantage (and) Singapore appears eager to sell." He valued Virgin's long-haul slots at between $660 million and $880 million and said he would look favorably on an investment up to $350 million in Singapore. "Delta has an admirable track record for capital prudence," based on its recent strategies of eschewing new aircraft purchases, acquiring a refinery and making select investments in Latin American carriers, he said. He ranks Delta shares overweight. In general, Wall Street analysts have looked favorably on Delta's talks with Virgin. Imperial Capital analyst Bob McAdoo said Delta has just 28 weekly takeoffs and landings at Heathrow, while United has 210 and American has 200. More Delta access to Heathrow would challenge American's (AAMRQ.PK) dominance of the New York-Heathrow market, McAdoo wrote in a note, saying "Delta already has a leading presence in the NYC market and additional competition to London would be a challenge for American on this marquee route."ATLANTA (

The Center of It All
Residents and visitors to central Missouri will find a variety of options for outdoor recreation. Hunters, anglers, hikers, photographers and other outdoor enthusiasts will find most of these convenient to highways 50, 54, 63 and 70.
The Missouri Department of Conservation refers to this portion of the state as the Central Region. The Central Region is made up of 15 counties that are organized for management purposes. The Department's management objectives include providing diverse outdoor recreational opportunities for the public.
While one short article could never encompass all the recreational potential of the Central Region, we'll take a look at some of the key areas and features in the region and a few activities to explore.
Missouri River
No description of central Missouri would be complete without mention of the Missouri River. Perhaps the most dominant feature in the region, the Missouri flows roughly from northwest to southeast, 265 miles through the region. This dynamic river provides vital habitat for fish and wildlife, and the bottomlands along the river provide access and opportunities for anglers, hunters, photographers and other resource users.
Anglers have long recognized the Missouri River as the place to be for catching catfish. Channel catfish, blue catfish and flatheads are eagerly sought after by bank-fishers and those in boats. Catching a real trophy fish is likely on this river. Flatheads and blues in excess of 50 pounds are not uncommon. Record-breaking or not, though, it's hard to beat a plate full of deep-fried flathead.
The areas behind and along the wing dikes and sandbars are good locations to set trot lines, limb lines, bank lines or to cast your rod and reel in search of these whiskered fish.
Waterfowl hunters also target the slack water behind the dikes and the islands. Ducks and geese often use the river as a migratory flyway, stopping to rest and feed in those areas.
Those who hunt along the river find a mixed bag of waterfowl. Ducks may include mallards, teal, scaup, ringneck and goldeneyes. Canada, snows and white-fronted geese also use these areas and can make for an exciting hunt when they come through Missouri in the fall and winter.
The Department developed and currently maintains 10 Missouri River access sites with boat ramps in the region. These areas are located on both sides of the river, making them convenient for people to access.
The conservation areas along the Missouri River are another great resource. These areas serve as important buffers—protecting

Jesus said to his disciples, "...in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but cheer up, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
On a spectacular spring day, Mom and her 6-year-old son were working in the garden. Mom was absorbed in her work while the little boy explored the miracle of growing things exploding everywhere. He picked up a daffodil bud and studied it. Then with his two little hands he tried to force it open into full blossom.

7-Year-Old Boy With Leukemia Gets His Wish To Spend The Day As A Super Hero (VIDEO)
The Make-A-Wish foundation has a wonderful reputation, and today's story of what those at the organization did for a 7-year-old boy suffering from leukemia validates why this is so.
According to news station KTLA, the foundation teamed up with Anaheim Police Department in Orange County, CA, to make Alex Lelenoa's dream of becoming a crime fighter come true. The young boy thought he was going to school but ended up at the police station, where he was suited up as Batman's faithful sidekick, Robin.
Robin swooped in, of course, and the crime-fighting duo spent the day at places like Knott's Berry Farm, battling pirates and villainous cowboys.
At the end of the the crime-fighting session, Alex was flown to Angel Stadium in a helicopter. He and Batman then rode the batmobile back to the police station, where he told KTLA it had been quite a day.
"I feel really thankful for the foundation," Alex said. "I feel thankful for everything."
As for Alex's mother, Elizabeth Stoffer, she was overcome with joy.
"I'm beyond emotion, my heart's going to pop out of my chest," Stoffer said. "I'm so excited, so happy for him. I'm just glad that he's having a wonderful time."
Do you know a child with cancer who has had a wish come true through Make-A-Wish or another organization? Share your story with us!

Nationals at Cardinals, 8:15 p.m.
The St. Louis Cardinals are headed back to the postseason.
The Washington Nationals' chances are nearly over, and they may need to beat Adam Wainwright to keep them alive.
The Nationals will try to solve Wainwright and end a four-game skid to the Cardinals on Monday night.
St. Louis (91-65), which beat Washington (84-72) in last season's division series, is headed back to the playoffs after clinching a spot thanks to the Nationals' 4-2 loss to Miami in the opener of Sunday's doubleheader.
The Cardinals fell 6-4 at Milwaukee on Sunday, but lead Cincinnati and Pittsburgh by two games in the NL Central with six to go in the regular season.
Pirates at Cubs, 8:05 p.m.
Although they've fallen back into a tie for the top NL wild-card spot, the Pittsburgh Pirates have an opportunity to bounce back as they begin a three-game series against the lowly Chicago Cubs.
Closing in on their first playoff appearance in 21 years and trying to make it take place at home, the visiting Pirates will try to beat the Cubs for the 11th time in 17 meetings Monday night.
Pittsburgh (89-67) failed to take control of the race for home-field advantage in a potential wild-card playoff matchup with Cincinnati on Sunday, losing 11-3 at home to the Reds. That left the teams dead even.
"We dug ourselves a little bit of a hole early and they never let up, kept their foot on the gas pedal," said second baseman Neil Walker, who hit his 13th home run. "We have to continue to play good baseball and things will go our way."
Mets at Reds, 7:10 p.m.
Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker remains cautiously optimistic about starter Johnny Cueto, who is just one start removed from a long stint on the disabled list.
It's difficult to blame him given Cueto's injury history.
Trying to move closer to securing a third playoff appearance in four years, Cincinnati sends Cueto to the mound in Monday night's series opener with the New York Mets.
Cueto (5-2, 3.02 ERA) missed the start of the 2011 season with arm trouble, then went 19-9 with a 2.78 ERA in 2012 to help the Reds win the NL Central. But after a healthy season, he left Game 1 of the division series against San Francisco after only eight pitches with pulled muscles in his side.
Tigers at Twins, 8:10 p.m.
The Detroit Tigers were unable to wrap up the AL Central in front of their home fans.
But considering their weak competition over the final week, they shouldn't have too much trouble doing so on the road.
Justin Verlander takes the mound in Monday night's opener versus a Minnesota Twins team he hasn't lost to in 12 meetings.
The Tigers' magic number to clinch the AL Central remained at two following a 6-3 home loss to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday as well as Cleveland's 9-2 victory over Houston. Even with a Detroit (91-65) win on Monday, the division couldn't be clinched until Tuesday night at the earliest, when the Indians open their series with the White Sox.

Parrot tank mates
what are some fish that are good tank mates with parrot cichlids(besides other cichlids)?
I have read that angel fish, rainbow fish, corey's , pleco's, Congo tetra's, twig cat fish, black skirt tetra's, and giant dainos work well. What about sailfin mollies?
I guess it all depends on the size of the tank, but I thought I would ask here as some of the fish here seem questionable.
I have several types of rainbow fish, giant dainos, emerald corrys, and a sailfin pleco with mine without problems in a 100 gallon tank.

Well — here it is!!! The third manifestation of this blog post!!! I have a confession to make — like a lot of "bloggers" out there I used to have a comparison chart posted here, trying to compare Shakeology and the Body by Vi Vi-Shape shake. At the time, I was a Beachbody coach and was promoting Shakeology. Then, I started seeing how much weight people were losing with the Vi-Shape Shake and the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge. Obviously, it works! I don't like to "knock" ANYTHING that helps people live healthier lives because, in the end, I'm more loyal to PEOPLE than to a PRODUCT! Another thing I noticed about a lot of the "comparisons" out there is that most of the bloggers hadn't even TASTED the other shake, much less had any real experience with it to give their comparison any real credibility. I've used Shakeology for almost a year — it's a great product and a great shake. It helped me lose a lot of weight. It's very healthy! If you are using Shakeology and love it — more power to you! That said, I have an open mind and wanted to try the Vi-Shape shake. I'm not so product-loyal that I feel like I "owe" any particular company or brand my business if something better comes along. I want to use whatever is going to fuel my body the best, and keep me at optimal health! Now, having "switched" to Visalus for the last three weeks — I have no intentions on switching back!!! I feel better, I have more energy, and I'm getting even leaner! That said — with the HUGE list of super foods on Shakeology I needed some sort of explanation! I did my research… WOW… now it makes sense!!! See my video here for my reasons, and what I learned!
1. The concept of bioavailability. Bioavailability basically describes how much of a particular nutrient is available to be absorbed by the body based on what the body needs, and is capable of absorbing, at any given time. None of the "comparison" charts between these products tell the whole story. While you can amass a huge list of ingredients, and make it LOOK more healthy to the common consumer, the reality is that your body will only absorb the nutrients it's capable of absorbing at any given time! Because Shakeology is recommended only once-per-day, no matter how impressive the ingredients list is, your body actually will discard most of it. Since the body metabolizes your nutrients every 4-6 hours, with a one-shake-per-day program, like Shakeology, you are only really fueling your body for a small portion of the day, and your body is passing a lot of those rich and EXPENSIVE nutrients that it can't absorb in one sitting!
2. Proven research. While the list of all natural "super foods" in Shakeology is impressive, the research on these ingredients is somewhat lacking. Not only is the nutritional benefit of many of these foods disputed, but in some cases the potential harm that some of these ingredients may or may not cause your body over time is simply unknown. The research behind the ingredients in Vi-Shape is less controversial, and backed by more research and study to establish that it's safe. While some people want to criticize the Vi-Shape shake for including sucralose (splenda)– in reality, Sucralose has been proven safe in over 100 peer reviewed studies. Further, the Vi-Shape shake contains less than .007 g of sucralose — you'd have to consume 30 shakes to equal the amount of sucralose found in a single Splenda packet! Stevia, on the other hand (which is in Shakeology) is actually being reconsidered in terms of safety by some researchers. The jury is still out regarding how safe it is when ingested long-term.
3. COST. With Shakeology at around $4.00 per shake, and the Vi-Shape shake at around $1.85 per shake, the Vi-Shape shake is far more affordable — and actually saves people money when they can replace meals at only $1.85. Most meals cost a lot more than that! Also, with the three-for-free referral program, people can get the Vi-Shape shake, or any of the challenge kits, for free! Their card isn't even charged!
4. Flavor. Taste is subjective, of course. While Shakeology has two (soon 3) flavors, the flavors with Shakeology are very strong, and the recipes have to really work within the confines of those flavors. The Vi-Shake shake has a cream flavor, that tastes like cake-mix. It's a neutral flavor that can be used with a number of recipes to taste like anything you like! Plus, if you like, you can get flavor packs (a sampling of them come with every order anyway) that each have the own added health benefit!
5. The protein quality! The tri-sorb protein blend used in the Vi-Shape shake (patented formula) actually removes the isoflavins from the soy protein (removing any concerns some people have with soy regarding hormone imbalance), and has removed the lactose from the whey (so it's better for lactose intolerant people), and specifically engineered to absorb into the muscles far more efficiently than standard Whey. Thus, you can consume fewer grams of protein, with a greater result!

Commentary by Stephen Phillips
Let's begin where it all starts for us at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices—the brand.
In an increasingly competitive business world, we are all searching for a sustainable competitive advantage, but it's very difficult to find, especially the "sustainable" part. A competitive advantage might be identified, but how long can it be sustained, and at what cost?
The great promise of competitive advantage in the real estate industry over the past 15 years has been technology. The theory: Create a new, online capability and the buyers and sellers of the world will beat a path to your door. But what happens when your toughest competitor adopts very similar technology almost as soon as you do? The once-promising advantage becomes anything but sustainable. And the barriers to technology development, which have never been high, are lowering all the time. In a nutshell, technology is an arms race; it's a battle that must be fought, but can't be won.
So where do we look for the elusive sustainable competitive advantage? At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, the answer to that question is easy: We look to our brand. The brand is our network's shared identity and shared image in the marketplace. It is the foremost component of our value proposition. Like all brands, ours is a promise…a promise of strength, integrity and trust in the buying and selling of real estate. And unlike technology or patented processes, our brand can't be copied and doesn't expire; it's ours and it goes on indefinitely.
The essence of any brand is consistency, or meeting the promise day after day. It's the same with a lot of things in life. A breakfast cereal must be the same each time a buyer tastes it; a pair of jeans must fit the same way every time someone tries them on. The experience customers have with us and our affiliates must be absolutely dependable. Their experience must always be consistent with the brand promise.
We feel honored and privileged to have the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand. Our brand means something very positive and powerful to consumers across the country, and with each yard sign placed, or each business card handed out, it becomes better recognized and more highly respected every day. So when you think about how you're going to be competitive in the real estate industry of the future, lean on our brand. It's the perfect sustainable competitive advantage.
Stephen Phillips is COO for HSF Affiliates LLC, responsible for the daily operations of the company. He also serves as president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

An appendectomy was the surgical removal of the vermiform appendix.
Elias Sandoval underwent an appendectomy some time prior to 2264. The appendix later grew back when Sandoval was exposed to the Omicron spores. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")
In 2372, The Doctor mentioned that he had performed three appendectomies since his activation the previous year. (VOY: "Lifesigns")
