Fraggle - You will need the layers I had 3 layers and a waterproof/windproof over the top and that worked for 2 hours/30miles. It snowed the whole time i was out but not settling thankfully.
Rafiki - thanks for the route feedback sounds like an improvement to me.
well, I did the half last year and survived the best thing this year is not doing the Stonor/Pishill bit 'cos the road surface was awful. See you tomorrow Soupy, and I hope you find your overshoe!
ugh. Week 2 completed, only managed 4h35 this week with 0 swimming and two full days off due to sniffles.
Most of that was my 2h30 bike today - was going to carry on to make it to 3h but I was so cold - plus it's my birthday so rather fancied some cake
Stats for long ride 2:
2h32m, 37.44mi, 14.8mph avg., 2024ft elevation, avg. HR 127bpm.
Nice to meet up with SoupDragon today and we recce'd some of the course took a wrong turn on the first 'leg' and ended up going towards Greys rather than henley (we should have turned off before that corner Soupy ) , but other than that it was ok. weather was horrible, cold snowy and neither of us could feel our feet after 20 mins or so. Soup made it back up Howe Hill and I had to get off and push after about a third of the way as my legs were dead. Also have not got over my cold as much as I thought and struggled a bit; poor Soup, I had to stop every 20 mins or so to empty my sinuses ; have been coughing loads and yacking up phlegm since I got home and I feel exhausted. A few easy days ahead for me I think. zzzzzzz
Well we did it. But I've only just thawed my feet out, man it was cold. Anyway here's my verdict. I like it! It was a long drag up to Northend but nothing too troubling, just slow and I know I can train to get my speed up a bit. Going down to Greys Court was fast and fun, and although a bit of a drag back up nothing difficult at all. Missed out the other Northend loop and headed directly for the BIG one. The road sign puts it a 10% and I'm pleased to report that I got up it. I was only going 3mph though and wobbling a bit and it seemed to go on and on, but I did it. The descent back into Henley was fast and even a downhill wuss like me got 30mph.
There is nothing on the course that isn't manageable although I suspect the 2nd lap will feel tough and the third one, well, I'm not even thinking of that yet.
Cross post Fraggle. So we did go wrong afterall - oops.
Good to see you today and I'm sure you will get up the hill once your lurgy has gone. Well done.
Badger, how can a 37 mile ride be classed as "long"? Surely they need to be knocking on the door of 100 miles to be long? The furthest I've ever done is 70 miles, so it's not even in the frame. Truly, I do need to get out on the bike more.
For me, it was 48 miles on Saturday morning, with the gang. Got a puncture halfway round and took FOREVER to fix it. I got some ridicule for that, especially as we were doing an unofficial time trial at that point. I context this was only my second one in 12 months.
I am glad to hear that the Whore's Hill is manageable. I am seriously envisaging walking up it by the time lap 3 arrives. I can believe that my contact points would benefit from a massage by then anyway.
BTW, has anyone else noticed the elevation profile for the swim section?
Bagder - Nice ride to end not such a great week., nice stats. Hope you have/had a good birthday.
Soup - Glad to hear you think it is doable, hope you can feel your feet again now. I need to get over and recce so I know what to train for.
Fraggle - Take it easy and get over the cold and I'm sure that hill will be yours for the taking.
2nd week of fink, 9 sessions, 3 of each if the count 20mins run brick of the long ride. Total of 8:30 but long ride was only 2:00/30miles.
Going to have to mix up the training schedule next weeks as I'm doing Roding Valley Half Marathon on Sunday.
Blisters - X-posted, nice ride for you today.
GPS and map site elevations are often well out, the accuracy is just not there for vertical calculations (satellite separation and geometry work against them). If a horizontal distance was out be 30ft over a mile we wouldn't notice or care but with elevation we do. If in reality the difference between the start and turning point is more than 5-10ft I'd be very surprised and it is the current that will be of more of a concern than change in elevation any way.

Well it's the longest of the week, in accordance with the Fink intermediate plan (actually, I was only supposed to do 90mins.) Not sure I've ever read a definition of a long bike needing to be 100 miles long. Remember, there's a hell of a long way to go yet! Hurdle 1: Reaching the start line in one piece.
p.s. Cheers Scuba for the birthday wishes! Have had a very large pub Sunday lunch in celebration.
Nice. Welcome aboard. Seems there's a fair number of us now!
Hi drainman. Welcome to the gang.
lol at long ride. My longest so far is 25 miles and that was today. I'm up to 7 miles on a run and 1000m on swimming. I've got some training to do but there's plenty of time yet and I'm still on target with Fink, apart from the swim perhaps. Each to their own, and all depends on targets I suppose.
Badger, sorry if I sounded a bit sour, I realised after pressing the send button that I could be mis-understood. Personally speaking, I'm crapping myself at the prospect of having to bike 180km as a "commute" between the longest swim I've never contemplated and a proper run.
thedrainman - Welcome aboard.
Soup - sounds like we are in similar places, my longest ride ever was Saturday at 30miles. I think I'm up to about 1750m in the pool but i can never keep count well enough to be more accurate than that. Running isn't an issue, I'm doing 10miles regularly and could do more but saving my energy for the more problematic swim and bike. As you say its nice to be ahead of the fink plans at this stage.
Blisters - Your doing a spring marathon right? Which one and what time you targeting?
Badger - There does seem to be quite a few signed up now, there have been a few comments on other threads that it wouldn't be that full of pirates, I wonder how many there are.
No worries Blisters. I think it's fair to say we've all got work to do!
Scuba - there was a list I think nearer the beginning of this thread. I noticed the comments in a few of the other threads too. I will dig up the list and we can get it updated I think we may be pleasantly surprised!
Good point badger. Latest list I could find:
CH - entered Barley Blisters ChallengeCheggers Fraggle Gladys Iron SwissBobby Iron Dreamer M.eface Rafiki Scuba Trooper Soupy Ultimate Badger Ultra Cougie
CH Half- arsed Bedders Hope
This thread keeps reminding me that I must start swimming again...
I think Hope is out of the half-arsed btw. Lazy mare!
yes i think she has to be somewhere else that day....
Scuba, I did have Gloucester marathon as a January target, but it got cancelled. Now I'm looking ahead to April and Shakespeare - Stratford. Always a good forum turn out for that, it's Mick n Phil's home town. The Glos people might even get around to offering a discount entry to something else on the basis that they haven't returned so much of a brass bean from the entry fee of £30.

Over the last numerous years it's quite noticeable that the arena of SME Lending has grown like under no circumstances just before. As of nowadays, your business has access to lending programs and more lenders on a national and international basis. This new evolution of Tiny Company Loans will enable your enterprise to get funding like in no way prior to.
With out any doubt, the men and women in banks you may have known your complete life would nonetheless like quite significantly that you just seek funding with them for your enterprise?s Compact Small business Loan. Be conscious, that applying for SME Financing at a traditional bank or credit union will demand that you simply have at the least two years in business with two years of tax returns and third-party audited economic statements together with the tax authority letters to confirm the taxable amounts and that taxes are paid up to date. To supplement the tax returns and financial statements and tax returns, you'll likely ought to provide an application for financing for the monetary institution and a Small business Program.
When the suitable documentation has been received by the bank, they will request a formal credit report in the proper agency for your county. Assuming that the report is favorable with respect to credit score, outstanding judgments/collections/liens, your ration of debt servicing to revenues falls inside the permitted limits and there are actually no other pending difficulties, it might result within a favorable outcome for the application. In the event you do proceed together with the loan, they will deposit the funds into your account when you've signed all essential documents along with the bank has placed a lien on all assets of your small business as well as your personal assets will also be pledged as security for the loan. The method time from initial meeting with all the application till funding is usually three months or a lot more so usually do not be inside a rush or have an immediate will need.
In case you had been to survey the SME Funders which are not banks, it will be noticed that the procedure and security would not be as restrictive. To apply for a Small business Loan in the majority of Alternative Commercial Lenders a list of initial documents would incorporate the following: full bank statements for the final 6 ? 9 months, proof of identity of all business principals, planned use of funds disclosure and the proprietary application of your funder. The processing of your application will then take location which ordinarily is performed within a matter of a number of days. When all has been accepted, approval and documents will probably be issued inside hours in numerous cases, not weeks. Depending on how long it takes for the borrower to sign the agreements signifying acceptance of the terms of funding, the actual wire transmission in the loan proceeds will probably be setup. Some funders demand a wet signature (handwritten) and others will accept a digital signature/scanned copy. The wire transmission in the funds will then come about as soon as the steps laid out within the funding agreement have come to pass. Certainly, some Alternative Commercial Lenders are quicker than others with respect to processing time. Most generally, the time frame will variety between per week or two. You can find non-bank funders who've really closed transactions in below per week!
SME Business Loans from non-bank lenders is often very considerably significantly less of a hassle, significantly simpler and incredibly a great deal faster than that of a bank so that if your loan is really a time sensitive matter, may perhaps exclude the bank as a feasible option. That getting said, there is an offset, and which is the cost. It does expense a lot more to use non-traditional Modest Enterprise Lending and it is up to the small business owner to determine if the further cost outweigh the benefit of having the ability to fund quickly to be able to make the most of possibilities when they arise or fill a essential need to have at the moment that it comes to pass. Either way features a cost-benefit trade off and nobody can answer what exactly is superior for the business than you, the small business owner.

Harry Enfield
© BBC/Balloon Entertainment/Colin Hutton
Date Of Birth: 30/05/1961
A former milkman, Harry Enfield started his comedy career as an impressionist on Spitting Image, but shot to fame Channel 4's Saturday Live, first in the guise of Greek kebab-shop owner Stavros, then with the iconic Eighties builder Loadsamoney.
He appeared both as Loadsamoney and his peniless Geordie counterpart Bugger-All-Money at he Nelson Mandela Birthday Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1988, before the character was killed off as Enfield felt he was becoming a hero, rather than a parody,.
He landed his own BBC show in 1990, first with Harry Enfield's Television Programme, and then Harry Enfield and Chums, the change in title acknowledging the contribution of co-stars Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke. Characters included Tim, nice but dim, Smashie and Nicey, Wayne and Waynetta Slob, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Kevin the Teenager - who would star in his own film, 2000's Ibiza-set Kevin & Perry Go Large.
Many of Enfield's characters have gone on to front advertising campaigns, and he created a spoof life coach for a series of TV commercials for Burger King in 2005.
In 1992, he played Dermot in the first series of Men Behaving Badly on ITV. But it was not considered a success and the commercial broadcaster did not recomission it. When the BBC picked it up, Enfield was replaced by Neil Morrissey.
He has also made a number of one-offs, including Sir Norbet Smith - A Life for Channel 4 in 1993, and Norman Ormal– A Very Political Turtle for BBC one in 1998. He also presented a guide to opera, one of his passions, for Channel 4 in 1993.
Enfield's successful partnership with Whitehouse ended in the mid-Nineties, with his partner going on to create The Fast Show. In 2000, Enfield signed a lucrative deal with Sky One to create a new batch of characters for Harry Enfield's Spanking New Show - but it failed to replicate the success of his BBC shows.
In 2002 Enfield returned to the BBC with Celeb, based on the Private Eye comic strip about ageing rockstar Gary Bloke, but it only lasted one series.
Enfield's awards haul includes the 1998 British Comedy Award for top BBC1 Comedy Personality and Silver Roses of Montreux in 1990 (for Norbert Smith), 1995 (Smashie And Nicey - End Of An Era) and 1998 (Harry Enfield and Chums).
Harry Enfield Videos
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse: Legends
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse's tour is a tug-of-war between nostalgia and relevance. Do they simply go through the old hits, of which there are an impressive number, or do they try to do something new?
In the end they've stuck to the tried-and-tested, but attempted to give them a twist – although some characters take an update better than others. Their creations are often been so bang on the zeitgeist that they can sum up the national mood in a catchphrase, but that makes them harder to adapt for different times.
Loadsamoney, that child of Thatcherism, has probably fared the worst: a working man waving his wad is nothing in the world of the oligarchs and hedge-fund managers that now own London. The other creation who made Enfield's name, Stavros, hasn't fared much better, still a simple national stereotype, despite a very heavy-handed attempt to use him to satirise the Greek financial crisis.
The Yewtree fate of Smashy & Nicey is predictable, too, and beyond the initial knowing references is reduced to a batch of puns on mostly dead DJ's names: 'Jimmy Young Girls' or 'John Feel'
Yet Wayne Slob is timeless (though sad to report Waynetta has come to a sticky end to explain Kathy Burke's absence), and Tim Nice-But-Dim is out on the Tory campaign trial, as in a previous TV sketch, but now unwittingly spilling the beans on David Cameron's Oxford past; especially relevant in the City of Dreaming Spires itself tonight.
Mr Cholmondley-Warner's 'Women Know Your Limits' public information film was already mocking outdated attitudes when it aired, and is here fired at a female stand-up … as if they hadn't already faced enough 'women aren't funny' jibes. Poor Catherine Shepherd, their token female in more than one sketch, is game, though.
However, the audience reaction is strangely muted. Old chums you might expect to be greeted with a rousing cheer come on to almost nothing. This is not the roaring nostalgia-fest of the Monty Python shows, though it's a warm delight being in Harry and Paul's company.
There are lots of knowing references to an assumed rivalry between the pair. The joke with the Old Gits, the opening skit, is that Enfield and Whitehouse are of that vintage themselves now, and the pointed bickering between them blurs the line between character and performer. And with the Self Righteous Brothers ('Oi, Enfield, No!') they get to twist the knife into each other even more viciously.
To reinforce the question of age, a nicely crude Kevin The Teenager sketch is introduced with an interview in which Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Ross discussing how tragic it was if the Harry Potter star was to still be playing teenage schoolboys in 40 years' time.
As well as themselves, they also mock contemporary celebs, with sideways jibes at Bad Education, Russell Brand 'is he a queer?' the large-eared old duffers ask, and a brilliant John Bishop done by – of course – the 'calm down' Scousers. Plus they are scurrilously libellous about Jeremy Clarkson. For although most of the appeal of Legends resides in the familiar, they can, on occasion, produce a real curveball of brutal hilarity.
Joy, too, lies in the looseness of some of the missed cues and forgotten lines, although they don't quite seem confident enough in the material on this early date to know how to play with this consistently. And their admirably over-ambitious attempt to recreate their brilliant Dragon's Den sketch live deploys audience participation pretty clumsily, the precision of the caricatures lost under the chaos.
They do keep the audience guessing and sometimes play quite confrontationally with the atmosphere - evoking the death of Rik Mayall for a laugh, for example. It shows a laudable willingness to challenge the audience even if it doesn't quite come off (see also their recent BBC Two An Evening With… retrospective). Similarly, Wayne's offspring Frogmella now wears a full burka. It would be easy to play things very safe with a trot out of old catchphrases, so kudos for not doing that.
Not that hearing the old lines doesn't bring its own pleasure. The audience mouth along with sozzled, rambling barrister, Rowley Birkin muttering 'we were very, very, drunk', one of a trio of Fast Show characters Whitehouse performs in quick succession (nosy neighbour Michael Paine and a solo Suit You tailor being the others) requiring the fastest costume changes in a night full of them. For the one outstanding memory from the show is just how many classic characters the pair have been responsible for.
Yes, they depend on smut and stereotypes in some of their work, and are sometimes a bit reactionary, but that's part of the broad strokes with which they start. They're aware of the criticism, and there's more subtlety close up. Even lesser-known creations (by their standards) are a skilled blend of observation and silliness. Who else could make a catchphrase out of '40, 45 minutes' as their posh medical consultants do, while their creepy confectioner perfectly both encapsulates weird British film noir, while coining the exquisite phrase 'Tuppenny Butterquims'.

My mom wants to be paid for watching my baby. What should I do?
While I was pregnant, my mom told me she planned to retire a year early to stay home and help me care for my baby. I was thrilled! I'm very close to my parents. But recently my mom said that after considering her loss of income she's decided to charge me for childcare. I feel hurt. Plus, my husband and I are on a very tight budget. What should I do?

First of all, any grandparent who "asks" for compensation for watching their grandchild is selfish, in my opinion. How many grandparents beg their kids to have kids for them to play with and offer to do so after they are born? On the other hand, any parent who would EXPECT consistant, daily childcare from the grandparents, for FREE, is being even more selfish. The grandparents should not have to ask for some sort of compensation, it should be given by the parent of the child out of love and respect of the grandparent that is spending a lot of extra time caring for the child. That is extra time out of their lives that they are giving out of love for the parent and the grandchild, but the parent should try to do something in return also out of love. I can't believe grandparents have to and choose to ask for compensation and I am apalled that the parents of the child don't just assume the responsibility of compesating them out of love in return! How juvenile can you all be?posted 10/16/2007 by ShannyMarie
I think your mom is making a huge sacrifice. I watch my niece (and soon her brother) for $3 an hour. Its just for expenses that occur like lunch, etc. I certainly don't make money from this. And I have 3 kids of my own so its kind of crazy here. I've also seen my mother-in-law take care of my nephews and my mom watch my niece when she gets out of work. It takes it out of you. They both do it for free and now are slaves to my sister-in-law and sister's schedules. Mothers want to help but no one wants to be taken advantage of. Watching children is exhausting and demanding. You get less interaction from peers and there are no coworkers. You should take this into account when thinking about the benefits and risks of having your mom do it or paying a daycare a lot more.posted 08/27/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Well, it sounds to me as if your mom, at first, did not expect to have any financial difficulty when she announced her plans to retire. I'm making assumptions based on what you have written, of course, but it seems to me that if she had been well aware of what she'd be lacking once she was no longer receiving her normal income, she probably would've been up front from the very beginning about expecting some kind of financial compensation. And I'm also willing to bet that she feels incredibly guilty and had to sum up some courage to ask you for a little money to watch your baby. I don't see a specified amount in your post, but if it's not more than $50-60/week, then that's not very much at all, even if you are on a tight budget. My husband and I are on a tight budget, with 2 children both under 4, and we live in Florida, and we make it work. You need a budgeting plan. You can do it. Cut some stuff out of your budget that isn't really necessary, such as eating out more than once everyposted 03/25/2008 by mommytoemily0422
If she's only retired a year early then pay her for that year?posted 10/16/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Why are you upset? You should've offered to pay your mom. Just because she is family, doesn't mean she works for free. Imagige how much you would pay an outside daycare/babysitter. i think it's self of those who don't think they should pay family.posted 08/17/2010 by Raye10
We will be in a similar situation by next year. We plan to start our family as soon as possible. My father-in-law just retired and we fully plan to have him be our nanny. My inlaws are in a financial situation where they too need the money and after seeing him suffer through a part-time job from h#%* to try to make ends meet, we are more than happy to pay him. Considering what daycare costs are like and what we already pay for our dog to be cared for ($10/day for dog walking), we will get both all in one. Not to mention that he is great with our nieces. He's also very handy at fixing things and he does more household chores than my m-i-l. Seeing how competant and caring he is with my nieces I have no doubts our children will have good care. To make things even better, my inlaws (like my own parents) had their children at a very young age, so he is only 50 years young. We're not even pregnant yet and he is looking forward to his future 'career' as grandad nanny extraordinaire. I am so happy we moved so close to family to make this all possible. My m-i-l only works part-time so this will allow him to have time off on certain days if he needs a break. Our house is only 5 miles from their own too, so this adds even more convenience. I figure if you have to pay for care anyway, why not pay who you know is reliable and has a vested interest in the wellfare and upbringing of their own grandchild...Not to mention someone you know you can trust in your own home.posted 05/05/2004 by stormy_times
wow, this is really weird honestly. my mother and grandmother said they would NEVER EVER take money for watching my son. i have tried and they laughed at me. they said this is what they are here for and they want to spend time with him. even my aunts said they wouldn't take money for watching him... i don't know i guess each family is different.posted 06/28/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am torn on this one because I would be pissed also if I was told one thing but the other person had another motive but I do know that kids take alot and need alot so money is sometimes needed. I am grateful to have my parents. I have twins and my parents are great. My kids are in daycare but I work long hours so my parents still have to watch them for 2 to 3 hrs in the evening monday thru friday. I am so grateful they dont ask me for any money. They also help me buy diapers and clothes, toys, they even help me pay for their daycare sometimes. After reading some of your posts I am so thankful I have them as my parents. What happened to "it takes a village to raise a child"????posted 07/30/2010 by twins2854
I think it's unfair of you to be hurt that she is asking for money. This is not simply watching her for the evening, you are having her watch your baby on a full time basis. I suppose if you're on such a tight budget that you can't afford to pay your own mother for childcare(who will mostly likely be asking for less) you probably should have reconsidered having a baby to begin with. If you decide to not have her watch your baby, have fun finding a sitter who is willing to come over and watch your baby for free!posted 10/16/2006 by BBaby2006
While I went to school I had my daughter in daycare (I had a scholarship for mother's that helped pay for it) the daycare was $24 a day, so when I switched to a job there was no way I could afford that so I took her to a in home daycare that a friend had recomended, her son was there, and she charged $10 a day, however you look at it taking care of a child is a big deal, especially if it's more then a couple times a week. I would look around your community to check on pricing then work something out with your mom. My own mom will babysit for free but thats only once or twice a month because of her health. I think depending on your area that $10 a day would be pretty good, though if you are having financial difficulties I would see what she wanted to get paid and see if there is a cheaper alternative. It all depends on who you want watching your child and what you can afford.posted 10/15/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

The Angels are going to have to live with some youthful mistakes this season, but one of their most veteran players has been costing them most dearly so far.
Left fielder Vernon Wells has yet to get comfortable in an Angels uniform, it would seem. You can't put the Angels offensive struggles strictly on Wells -- they're batting .208 with runners in scoring position as a team -- but they need him to start carrying his share.
Wells, the Angels' No. 5 hitter and highest-paid player, has three hits in 31 at-bats (.097).
It's not as if he hasn't had opportunities to drive in runs. The top of the Angels' order -- Maicer Izturis, Howie Kendrick and Bobby Abreu --are hitting a combined .405 with a .608 on-base percentage when they hit 1-2-3.
Wells stranded three runners with a pair of strikeouts against rookie Kyle Drabek in the 3-2 loss Friday. The Angels acquired Wells from the Blue Jays for Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera in January.
"Whether it's because he's on a new team or what, he sees a lot of talent on the field and he knows how important it is for us to have his contributions and he wants to get it yesterday," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's just not in a comfort zone in the box yet. He will be."

Comments about Women's Passenger Ponte Skinny Pants:
These pants are a dressier alternative to your basic leggings. The material is soft, comfortable and thick and provides a slimming look. It's also great they were offered in Tall so they go all the way to my ankles.

Comments about Women's Passenger Ponte Skinny Pants:
These are amazing pants! They are comfy like a legging, but are a thick enough fabric that they lay like a slim cut dress pant. They can very easily be dressed up or down, to wear in a variety of settings. I cannot emphasize how much I love these pants! They are insanely comfy and flattering for someone with a curvy body type!

She wasn't due until August 2nd, but little Tabitha Faye decided she couldn't wait any longer to arrive and popped out on July 5th. Very small but otherwise perfectly formed, Nico is absolutely smitten with his little sister.
Just wanted to come online and thank everyone on here that helped us decide on her name, and I'm sure I'll be back asking for help if we have any more children. For now though, I'm just enjoying spending time with my beautiful little family.My two bundles of love, Dominic Joseph and Tabitha Faye

According to Squeals on Wheels, teacup pigs are omnivores and eat a variety of vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, sweet potatoes, peas and corn. Teacup pigs are also given nutritionally balanced pellet food.Know More
In the wild, pigs eat everything from raw eggs and insects to roots and nuts. However, this type of diet is difficult for teacup pig owners to replicate, and pellet food is often used to provide the right amount of nutrients to pet pigs. Pellet food is the main source of food for teacup pigs, and vegetables should be used as a snack or to help supplement the pellet food.Learn more about Barnyard Mammals
Most teacup or micropigs pigs grow to weigh between 40 and 200 pounds. Many breeders claim teacup pigs only grow to be around 35 pounds, but a pig weighing only this much is usually underfed and unhealthy.Full Answer >
Teacup pigs are not real. The term teacup is a marketing ploy to sell piglets, but they reach the size of medium or large dogs when they become adults.Full Answer >
According to Pixie Pigs, teacup pigs are cared for the same as normal pigs, and they do not need to be treated any different. Male pigs are susceptible to urinary tract infection, so they must be given plenty of water. They must also have access to water to play in, especially during hot weather or heat spells.Full Answer >

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Despite powerful efforts by Pope Benedict XVI and Francis, the public continues to assail the Church for its handling of the child sex abuse scandals which have rocked the church for decades. In a bid to further protect children, Pope Francis has formed a new commission to address the issue. The commission includes a woman who was victimized by a priest as a child.
Earlier this year the UN blasted the Vatican for the worldwide sex abuse scandal, despite major reforms within the Church. Pope Francis continues to act.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis has announced the formation of an eight-member commission that will provide more advice on the Church's child sex abuse policy. The announcement was made on Saturday and includes a woman who was abused by a priest at the age of 13.
The formation of the new commission was anticipated as early as December when the Vatican announced that Francis wanted to create it. The commission will advise Pope Francis on which policies to pursue to best protect children.
Light a candle for all those who have suffered with abuse.
The commission is made of eight members including four women. One of those women is Marie Collins who was abused by a priest at the age of 13 in Ireland. When she reported her abuse to Church officials in Ireland, she was disbelieved, then later blamed for what happened to her, despite the fact that she was obviously a young child.
The Vatican announced on Saturday that the commission would look into both "civil and canonical duties and responsibilities" regarding accused personnel. This means the commission will examine the requirement to report any suspected cases to both the Vatican and local authorities, as is appropriate.
It remains to be known if the commission will advise the Pope on how to handle bishops who cover up such crimes. Canon law allows for the Pope to discipline a bishop who neglects his duty, but no bishop has ever been sanctioned by the Church for failing to report a sex abuse case. It is strongly hoped this will change.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley will also serve on the commission. Cardinal O'Malley is close to Pope Francis and is the archbishop of Boston where he has witnessed a scandal firsthand.
Two other members of the commission are professors from the Jesuit Pontifical Gregorian University who in 2012 hosted a seminar for how to best protect children in the church.
The Vatican announced that Pope Francis wants the protection of children within the Church to be "among her highest priorities."
Pope Francis has also defended the Church from scandal mongers who may have an agenda against the Church itself. Although abuse of children within the Church is inexcusable, as well as its cover up, the Church has done much to ensure the protection of children.
In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Pope Francis said, "The Catholic Church is perhaps the only public institution that has moved with transparency and responsibility. No one has done more. And yet the church is the only one that has been attacked."
Some activists want the pope to simply dismiss bishops who have been accused of covering up for accused priests. However, bishops are not simply removed because they fail in their duty, particularly when they see that duty as possibly conflicting with the rules of the Church. Pope Francis isn't shy about removing problem bishops, but it is important that they understand the new rules and are given an opportunity to comply before being called to the Vatican to account for their roles in such scandals.
Although how bishops should proceed in these cases should be straightforward, it isn't thanks to Papal decrees and Church law from the past century. Hopefully now, Pope Francis makes appropriate expectations crystal clear. He has thus far given every indication he is doing so.
It is hoped that through the work of this new commission, the scourge of child sex abuse scandals will finally evaporate from the Church. The Church is not a hiding place for pedophiles and Pope Francis is doing his best to ensure that it is never again used as such.

Alien abduction, Old Hag Syndrome, Sleep Paralysis.

Anonymous Coward
Post Content
According to my own research, in most sleep paralysis episodes, the victim experiences 3 major entities/hallucinations. 1. Alien abduction is consistent with sleep paralysis in most cases. 2. In Newfoundland and England people experience an old hag, which i must add is documented back over 2000 years. And 3. A shadowy figure who either stands at the foot of your bed and/or attacks the victim violently. If you do suffer from SP i would really like to know which of these you experience. Yes i am aware of the scientific explanations and yes i have heard many christian inputs about demons, so i would appreciate no bible bashers or people who have a self taught degree. I merely want to compare the entities and include them in my research to find a connection.
Jet Wylie
I used to suffer from SP as a kid, not so much any more. But I have had very real experiences with at being at my bedside that left me feeling the most peaceful feeling I think I have ever had! It also left me feeling extremely curious.

What is the strongest normal type in your opinion?
As stated earlier, I've never really actually used that many Normal type Pokemon, and I've never really battle competitively, so it's kinda hard to answer while mentioning a Pokemon that
actually strong. From the ones I've used though, I think I'd have to say Snorlax. I tried it out in Pokemon Online once a while back, and with the right moveset, it did really well in battle. Of course a lot of the reason for that is due to the effect of the moves, especially Curse that with enough uses could turn it nearly unstopable from anything other than critical hits, however it's still one of the strongest I've yet used.

Bree Hodge
Marcia Cross stars as Bree Hodge on ABC's Desperate Housewives. Bree was changed forever when her husband, Rex, was killed by their pharmacist Roger, who was obsessed with Bree. She has a rough relationship with her son, Andrew, who blames her for her father's death.
Bree eventually found a new mate, dentist Orson Hodge. However, Hodge committed a hit-and-run and she demanded he atone for his crime Orson then lost his practice and his life as he went to jail.
While there, Bree authored a best-selling cookbook as Bree Van de Kamp, and when Orson came out of jail he was stuck living in her shadow.
Bree Hodge Quotes
(after Andrew tells her he hates her) The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care, and we're still connected and I still have a chance to set you right.Bree
Rex: Since when do you make mistakes?
Bree: What's that supposed to mean?
Rex: It means I'm sick of you being so damn perfect all the time. I'm sick of the bizarre way your hair doesn't move. I'm sick of you making our bed in the morning before I've even used the bathroom. You're this plastic suburban housewife with her pearls and her spatula who says things like "we owe the Hendersons a dinner." Where's the woman I fell in love with? Who used to burn the toast and drink milk out of the carton? And laugh? I need her. Not this cold perfect thing you've become

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
The airline industry, which has seen its profits dwindle over the past two years in the wake of a slowing global economy, would be in a much stronger position if the price of oil was US$80 a barrel, Tim Clark president of Emirates Airline, the world's largest carrier by international passenger traffic, said.
"The primary driver in all of this is the cost of fuel, if that was down where it should be which is about US$80 a barrel and the fuel into plane was about 250 cents instead of 340 cents as it is for Emirates today, you would be looking at a different complexion on international aviation," Clark said in an interview with Arabian Business.
"It would be far more profitable, it would be far more expansive, it would be far more upbeat. At the moment it is contractionary, it is depressed. The mindset of the management of these companies are fairly negative and concerned more about trying to keep their heads above water than growth."
The airline industry which has been in a downward spiral since its peak in 2010 is forecast to earn US$4.1bn in profits this year, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). That is slightly up from the organisation's original estimate of US$3bn in net profit, yet still 78.6 percent lower than the high of US$19.2bn earned by air carriers two years ago. The increase in this year's forecast is a direct reflection of an improvement in performance by airlines even as the global economy lags in its recovery, according to IATA.
The industry's performance is expected to improve with airline profits surging 83 percent from this year to US$7.5bn in 2013, according to IATA's forecasts, so long as the debt crisis in Europe does not worsen, the US does not hit its fiscal cliff, China's economy does not continue to slow and oil prices are somewhat lower than 2012. That improvement only represents a profit margin of 1.1 percent for an industry that is expected to see revenues of US$660bn in 2013.
"We (Emirates) are subjected to the same adverse trading conditions as everybody else, be that depressed economies in Europe, high fuel prices, difficulties in government punitive taxation, environmental taxes, we face that just the same as everybody else does," Clark said.
He added that Emirates has been able to outperform other carriers because of a business model that relies on a varied 126-destination network spanning the globe to feed its business across its hub "from all sorts of places that people in the past thought we were nuts to go to,'' Clark added. "But now of course they're paying dividends. We are able to keep our head above water, keep on growing our business, relying on a revenue stream that comes from a fairly geographic distant and somewhat regarded as remote to the airline world. We do not put all our eggs in the same basket with regards to the north Atlantic or south Atlantic. We try and balance the production so that we can take any knocks in the system that come from anywhere."
Whereas other airlines reported a plunge in their third quarter profits, Emirates more than doubled its net profit which reached US$464m in the first half year period ending September 30. The airline also recorded an average passenger seat factor of 80 percent in the same period.
Richard Aboulafia, vice president of Fairfax, Virginia-based Teal Group, an aviation consulting firm said Emirates, and to a lesser extent Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways, "have done well attacking traffic carried by European and Asian legacy carriers."
"Given superb geography, strong funding from home governments, and smart brand creation efforts, it's difficult to see what will disrupt this process,'' he added.

The Committee met with Mian Abdul Manan in the Chair at Parliament House on Thursday and discussed the issue of local bodies elections. Manan told Business Recorder that the Committee had asked Punjab and Sindh governments to file a petition in the Supreme Court with a view to seeking time to print ballot papers and other material. He said the ECP and committee gave its stance that holding of LB polls in Sindh and Punjab in January was impossible due to insufficient printing capacity of 300 million ballot papers in Punjab and 50 million in Sindh due to time constraint. Moreover, it is not possible to purchase 400,000 biometric machines due to shortage of funds.
It was also confirmed by the Additional Secretary, ECP that if provinces will submit their requests for delay in upcoming local bodies elections in Supreme Court of Pakistan, ECP would endorse their point of view, as ECP had already stated in the apex court that the given time for Free, Fair and Transparent Election was insufficient.
It was informed and confirmed by the Additional Secretary, Election Commission of Pakistan that technical team of PCSIR and NADRA had unanimously declared that magnetic ink used by the Election Commission of Pakistan, during the General Election 2013, did not have more than six hours life.
It was also informed by the Additional Secretary, ECP that Election Commission was already looking after the suggestions proffered by Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regarding the installation of biometric thumb impression devices at all polling stations in KPK and across the country. The Secretary, ECP, briefed the Committee about the observations already made by the ECP about the said device. He said, it could be installed only in a dust-free atmosphere, which is impossible in Pakistan, owing to location of polling stations in schools, colleges etc. It was also informed by the Additional Secretary, ECP that 4 lakh biometric devices would be required for local bodies elections in the country.
For the installation of such devices it needed Rs 15-20 billion approximately
The meeting was attended by Sheikh Aftab Ahmed, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. Muhammad Afzal Khan Dhandla, Dr Nisar Ahmad Jatt, Chaudhary Salman Haneef Khan, Ms. Arifa Khalid Parvez, Ms. Shahida Rehmani, and Nafeesa Inayatullah Khan Khattak, MNAs, besides senior officers from Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Election Commission of Pakistan.
