- Nehemiah 4:18
"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

French betting ads poke fun at major tragedies
If you're easily offended, it's probably best to move on.
Now that you've been warned, I present two ads that are guaranteed to cause a stir on the Internet.
A French horse betting company, PMU, decided to embrace major tragedies in history with one small tweak: Rather than the actual cause, the commercials feature a bet gone bad as the reason John F. Kennedy was killed and the Titanic sunk.
Sometimes, you can't make this stuff up. Sometimes you do, put in on YouTube, wait for for the Internet to get angry and watch the revenue roll in.
I'll bet you can't figure out which route PMU took.

To sleep, perchance to dream... THIS WORKS!,
This review is from: The Gro Company Gro-Clock Sleep Trainer (Baby Product)
This product totally works, my son is only 22 mths old, but 5 days later it had completely changed his waking times from 4am to 6am! And 9 days in, he's now consistently waking up between 6.15 - 6.30am. Below is how I did it -
My 22 mth old son has always been a bit of a challenging sleeper, but recently it was just getting ridiculous. 4am starts told me that something needed to be done (not least of all because my husband was away, so I was doing all the early morning starts!) Anyway, I invested in a groclock after a friend recommended one. I have to say, I was a bit dubious, my son is only 22 mths old, and I wondered if he'd actually understand what was going on.
The first day I got it, we read the accompanying book a couple of times, then I spent 3 x 5min sessions with him running through the demo mode, so we saw the sun wink (bye bye Mr Sun!) and turn into the star (Night night! Sleeping time! - we pretended to go to sleep) then into the sun again (Morning Mr Sun! Get up! Get up! - we leapt up and danced around). We did this until it seemed like he understood what was going on. I ambitiously set the sun to come up at 6am, and waited to see how it would go.
Anyway, needless to say, day 1 he woke up at 4am, I went into his room, sat with him, and just kept saying, no, sleeping time, we need to wait until the sun gets up (I'd put some toys in his cot for him to play with, and I encouraged him to do so). After an hour of this, he was beginning to lose the plot, so I subtly changed the clock to the sun, and waited for him to notice. When he did, I made a HUGE fuss of him - yes, yes clever boy, it IS the sun. Let's get up!!
Day 2, woke up at 4.10am. This time I gave it a bit longer before I went in to sit in his room, then again encouraged him to read his books, play with his cars etc. I talked to him about having to wait for Mr Sun, and didn't stay in the whole time, went in, reassured, then went out. At no time did I get him out of his cot, I just encouraged him to wait for the sun.
Day 3, woke up at 5.40am. This time, because it was only 20 mins until he had to get up, I didn't go in at all, just talked to him from outside the door about having to wait for the sun.
Day 4, woke up at 4.55am. I was a bit discouraged, felt like we were going backwards, but this time I didn't go in, just called out to reassure him, and encourage him to play with his cars, read his books, and wait for the sun. Again, I constantly reassured him if he called out or cried, but I didn't go in.
Day 5, woke up at 5.45am, and played until the sun came up
Day 6, woke up AFTER THE SUN!! 6.01am!!
Day 7, woke up at 6.35am
Day 8, woke up at 6.16am (I then took the plunge and changed the wakeup time from 6.00am to 6.15am)
Day 9, woke up at 5.40am, but didn't cry, then put himself back to sleep until 6.20am. He has NEVER put himself back to sleep before.
My top tips for success are
1) Decide you really want to do this before you start. You'll need an iron will to keep going even when bubs is protesting.
2) Once you really decide you want to do it, do NOT get the child out of bed until 'Mr Sun' comes up. I found it was ok to go in and sit with them, encourage them to play in their bed / cot, reassure them etc. If the child really starts to lose it, I would press the button to bring on the sun for the first day, or the second at a real push, but try not to let them see you doing it, otherwise they'll associate you with the sun - and it's key they understand the sun comes out independently of Mummy or Daddy coming into their room! Similarly, try not to go in if you can possibly help it.
3) Set the wake up time as their regular wake up time for the first day, then move it by 15 mins each day until you get to your desired time. I didn't do this, and think it would probably have helped.
4) Think about what you do with your child when they wake up. I thought about it and realised that we were letting him watch telly (mainly because we were so wiped!!), but actually this was reinforcing the early waking, as he was leaping out of bed, so excited about watching Peppa Pig! By not allowing him to watch telly until I was preparing dinner, I removed this association. So now, it's a cup of milk and independent play until 7am, when he has breakfast.
5) Spend a bit of time each day for the first week running through the demo mode with very exaggerated actions and enthusiasm (e.g. loud snores for sleeping, big leaps for getting up). Make it fun. And do it until your child understands. Reinforce it whenever you're reading any book, most kids books have pictures of suns or stars somewhere in them - point at it, and say what is this? Child will say 'sun, stars' etc - say, yes, it's the sun, star - what does that mean? Child - wake up, sleep. You - yes, that's RIGHT. Clever boy/girl - when we see the SUN we WAKE UP!, when we see the STAR we SLEEP.
6) Be consistent - be consistent, be consistent. Don't do it unless you're going to see it through, as your child will absolutely test you to see if you're serious. So this is why it helps to set the wakeup time close to their actual wakeup time to begin with - it's much easier to reinforce if you don't have to deal with an hour of protesting to begin with!

What an excellent and helpful review. My little girl (who's just turned 2) actually wakes at a decent time - although it's earlier than it used to be and I'm thinking of getting this clock just to 'tell' her that it's quiet play-time in the cot until the sun comes up. Your how-to guide is so helpful though, especially for people who have very early risers. You seem to have tons of patience though! I'm entering the tantrum phase and find it so difficult!

How amazingly helpful this is; thank you so much for taking the time to explain what you did in such a practical way. I'm not sure if this will work for my 3 year old as he knows the o'clock times but woke us at 5:15 this morn. I remember those 4am starts...all the best.

I found this review and the tips it provides very useful. The Gro-clock is now on my Christmas present list in the hope that it will help our 20-month old son learn when it's time to get. He has always been an early riser, waking at 5am on the dot. Sometimes we can get him off to sleep again but more often than not, we stay in his room and read books until it's at least 6am and then go downstairs to play with his other toys. Another hour in bed would make all the difference!

I wish all reviews were as practically helpful, there are so many parents out there that have problems with sleep training, and any one of them who reads this will be well chuffed you took the time to spell things out. Thanks so much!

I have just been on looking for this clock and saw the reviews - so glad I read it. You should write a book as that's what they say, but it's great to know real mums do that and it works. I am frantically trying to get my 2 year old to sleep longer. She used to have to be woken if I was going to work or slept till about 8 or later, but since I change from cot to bed its been terrible. Like me she really needs her sleep so things have been pretty tough. This will hopefully be my new best friend and will make my tired wee girl a much happier girl with the extra sleep she needs. I told her I was getting a clock so she has been looking forward to it. Thanks for all the tips - I will be using them.
Great review.

BRILLIANT review!! Also, not only does it reinforce the helpfulness of the Gro Clock, but you have also just made me have a 'lightbulb' moment with regards to my little boy waking up and watching TV straight away! Thankyou for taking the time to write such a detailed and informative review.

Such a helpful review- thank you!! My 18mths old has been consistently waking up at 5am for the last 6mths and we're at he end of our tether!!! I'm hoping this clock is goin to help, I'm just wondering if he's too young though bu I guess we'll soon find out. It has to be worth a try!! Fingers crossed!!!!!
In reply to an earlier post on 5 Mar 2012 09:36:06 GMT
Mrs. A. Wainwright says:
Thank you for writing this review, some really helpful tips there. Certainly will give this a go - my only struggle will be is that my little boy is already in a bed and whilst we have a child gate on his door he has already figured how to open this. That said, being a bit older (2.5) he does understand reasoning and so hopefully this clock and some mild bribery will help move his get up time from 5/6 something to 7.

Evaluation of the Utilisation of EU Funds in Micro-Regions
The publication examines the structure of projects implemented with Eu co-financing – at a statistical micro-region level – and their applicant-level practices in two time-ranges for the period after Hungary's accession to the Eu.my empirical analysis comprises secondary and primary research. The methodology applied focuses on the complex analysis of theproject development and Eu fund utilisation activities of micro-regions and project managers. Within the framework of secondaryresearch, I systemised and analysed, using statistical methods, the supported projects of the statistical micro-regions of Zala County. as part of my primary research, using the in-depth interview method, I uncovered the principles of micro-region level strategy making, focusing on grant utilisation activities. as a result of the representative sampling procedure, I have mapped out the fund utilisation and project planning practices of winning applications. my research results:1. Compared to its economic potential, Zala County received a proportionately higher amount of Eu funds.2. In the statistical micro-regions examined, we have observed local grant application success. We have also observed a strong correlation between the value of grants and settlement size.3. mplemented projects fit the socio-economic characteristics of the micro-regions.4. at the level of economic players, familiarity with and application of project planning methods is low.In conclusion, we can state that developments in the county implemented using Eu funds have promoted economic development, improved the standards of living and helped the management of social problems.

About this Business
From Our Editors
From the ivy-covered outside in, Barrel 33 cultivates a cozy bar atmosphere conducive to long conversations and savored sips of wine. Their wine cellar, kept at a constant 56 degrees, hosts dozens of domestic and international red and white wines by the bottle. Reds include a hefty selection of cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir from Sonoma and Santa Barbara. French champagne, sparkling wine, and chardonnay from Napa and the Russian River valley, on the other hand, dominate the selection of whites. To accompany the wine, Barrel 33's kitchen assembles plates of olives, duck pate, brie with Grand Marnier strawberry sauce, or crisp thin-crust pizzas.
Red walls stretch around the interior of the wine bar, complementing both the stone-topped bar and the dappled tulip lights hanging over it. Tall chairs with carved arms and plush crimson cushions sit at attention at the counter. Outside in the enclosed wine garden, palm fronds reach up to the strings of fairy lights stretched across the patio. A wood fire crackles in a fireplace made from the same chunky boulders as the building's exterior, sending light flickering over wicker chairs and the glass tables' ornate legs, which were donated by the late glass man, who lived in a glass house but never threw stones.

360 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
It's compact, very durable, & is a great workout! It's been perfect for my husband & myself. The only thing i've noticed is that when our daughter used it she kept bumping herself on it becasue she's taller than i am.. i'm only 5' 3". So i'm guessing that someone around the height of 5' 4-5" or so might need a bigger machine. I did have to buy an equipment mat for underneath it, since i didn't want any damage to my carpet from it. I have noticed that it wobbles a little on carpet, and wouldn't at all if i could put it on bare floor. (can't-house is all carpeted..) On it's easiest setting my 5 year old can even use it, it's so simple to use that he's figured it out himself. It's a great little elliptical!
I have had this for over a month now and I am very happy I made this purchase. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. I get a great work out for such an inexpensive amount of money. The work out on this is just as good as the one I got with the Elliptical at the gym. It, so far, has been very sturdy and quiet. I do think the calorie counter is off a bit... either that or the one at the gym was way off, because this tells me I am burning a lot less calories for the same work out than the one at the gym. The heart rate part is really slow to register as well. For the first 3 weeks I couldn't understand why my heart rate never registered over 74, but then realized that after it registers at 74 it takes a long time for it to count up to your real heart rate. It also came with a hole on the back piece, but that was only cosemetic and not worth the time and effort to send it back for a new one. Putting it together was a little difficult. The holes didn't always line up completely and because of that it took me about an hour and half. I did it myself, which was doable, but if you can have two people to do it, it would be a lot easier. Other than that, I am really satisfied with my purchase. If you are looking for something to give you a good workout, and not feel like it is going to break right under you, this is it.
For the last five months I have been looking for an Elliptical trainer, I wanted a small and sturdy Elliptical. When I saw this one I compared it to the many other ellipticals. I had composed a list during the five months. I found the reveiws to be all positive. At first I had doubts about ordering a large item over the internet and without physically trying it. I had shopped locally, but could not find what I was looking for price too high, item to big. I finally placed the order. I've had it for two weeks and I love it. It's small but durable and sturdy. I'am 5'3 and 62 years old and it's perfect. It's very smooth and makes no noise. It will give you a work out. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying this Elliptical trainer. Putting it together is easy just follow the instructions, my husband did it in one hour. The best part is that I am using the Elliptical and my payment is not due until June plus Free shipping. I have no complains! I will be in shape by summer!
I wanted to buy something that was more compact than your typical workout machines and I wanted it to be very easy for storing before & after my workout and that's what I got. After reading all of the reviews, I decided on this machine. I was prepared and knew going in, that once I received it, I would most likely have to battle the holes for the screws, as most reviews said the holes were not the right size to be able to fit the screws. They were right. I had to use a 3/8 drill bit to make the holes the correct size so the screws would fit. It took some time, but it worked. I had obviously received a machine that had been returned, for what I could only guess was for the holes not being the right size. If I did not have a 3/8 drill bit, there would have absolutely been no way that I could have assembled the machine, and I would have had to return it. Anyway, it's working fine now. It is very quiet as the other reviews state. It is definitely not like any of the ellipticals I've used over the past 10-15 years. The basic level provides plenty of resistance and my legs get tired after just 10 minutes and I have to stop, when on other ellipticals, I was able to go for 30 minutes non stop. I believe the calorie counter is way under with what it displays, so I just don't pay attention to that anymore. I would recommend that you put something underneath the center of the machine as I noticed a line of black marks that appeared on the carpet. I do use it most everyday and I will keep it. I like the convenience of having it my home and being able to use it while I watch t.v. It's nice not having to "get ready" to go workout by having to drive in your car somewhere else and fight the weather elements as well. I would recommend this machine to anyone who wants to have something that's easy to move, compact in size, & wants a quiet workout in their own home.
A very good elliptical machine for its price. Very sturdy and does the job. Fits great in my tiny office/workout room. The only thing I would mention about this product is that the assembly directions were not well written. It might just be me personally but I'm usually pretty good at following directions and figuring those types of things out but I felt they weren't explained well enough and were kind of confusing. Never the less, I figured it out eventually. There was no phone number to call if you needed help with the directions either. Overall, I love my new elliptical and I would definitely recommend it to anyone on a budget looking for a good piece of exercise equipment.
I Love this elliptical!!! I was nervous about getting one at first, because i have read other reviews that said they were loud, not sturdy, or didn't last very long.
I have had this product for about two weeks and I absolutely love it! It is very quiet, compact, and does the job. I love the different workouts you can use to target different goals. You definitely have to read the instructions on how to operate it, unless you just want to use your own workout. It is a little complicated to use the programs.
I have a very small apartment, and needed somthing that didn't take up a lot of space, and this is perfect for it!
The only problem I have had with it is the location of the water bottle holder. I hit my leg on it the other day, and it bruised it pretty badly. I just took the holster off and don't use it, and it is fine.
I have had this machine for a little over two weeks now and I use it a couple of times a week. I like it a lot, it gives me a good work out for sure. I like that it has a manual program, that is what I mainly use. I also like that the computer plugs in so you don't have to worry about batteries. The only thing I would change is the stride. It is not quite long enough and has deterred my husband from using it as much. But for the price it does the job. It was easy to put together (I did it by myself) it took about 1 1/2 hrs. I did have two holes not line up properly so I had to use a drill to smooth out the holes just enough to slide a bolt in. The directions were easy to read. I bought the mat too to help it from sliding across the carpet.
The machine was easy to assemble. I've had it about 2 months; working out 30 minutes per day; I've lost 11 pounds and 1 dress size. I'm satisfied with the machines performance and durability. Only thing I don't like is the location of the water bottle because I've hit it a few times while working out.
Eclipse 1100HR/A Elliptical Trainer has been fun and easy to use. I was skeptical at first. I am an avid runner, 3 miles 5-6 days a week, but it has caught up with my knees to the point where I would just look at a treadmill and find an excuse to not even try. So I did some research and saw how many different types and prices there are for elliptical trainers, after much research for the needs I was looking for I found this product. I will tell you that I did have to use a power screwdriver for the footpedals since I couldn't seem to get them tight enough and that you have to make sure that all the nuts/bolts are extremely tight so they don't sqeak or move on you but after a couple a goes on the elliptical I do enjoy it and yes my knees aren't hurting after a good 30 minute workout and since it's not loud I can watch tv as well, I recommend this product to those who want the same type of workout that treadmills give you but without the pressure on your knees.
I purchased this 7.5 years ago, and it is still working great. The cupholder and book rest have come off, but that is nothing considering the years of use by me (and most of the children in the neighborhood.) I use it daily in winter months, less often in nice weather, and find that once a year I need to get out the tools and tighten everything up. Other than that-maintenance free and seems like it has years of use left in it. I love that it is small enough to go in a corner of TV room and easy to roll around if need be. Highly recommend-excellent quality at a great price.
Like most I had considered dozens of ellipticals and read way too many online reviews before deciding on a machine. After initially deciding on a different machine, I went to the store to look at the one I had picked...it was far too long for the space I had in mind! I am very happy to have stumbled on this one. The Eclipse 1100HR/A is only 41 inches long and fits easily almost anywhere in my small place. Assembly was another deciding factor for me. Many of the reviews for other machines talked about liberally applying the grease...not something I wanted to be a part of... Assembly on the Eclipse was super-easy - most of it is pre-assembled, just need to put together the big pieces - and best of all no grease! Using the Eclipse is great. Plenty of programs to keep you involved, resistance is easy to change, goes forward and backwards, 15 inch stride length is enough for my 5 foot 9 inch frame and it is unbelievably quiet. No clanking, thumping or noises other than my heavy breathing! For 400 bucks I think this machine is a Great Value. Walmart's Site to Store worked very well for me and the box even fit in the back seat of my car. Great product, great experience, great value. Highly recommended.
My husband and I decided to buy an elliptical to get in shape. We read review after review of different ones, and after the raving reviews about the eclipse, we purchased it. First of all, it was not that easy to put together. The screw holes for the handles would not line up without hammering them through (and they were in the correct sides). Prying the shipping covers off the bottom of the unit was quite difficult. We've only had it for a week (used it about four times) and last night noticed the top was wobbling. The screws were already coming loose that hold the top part of the machine to the base. The heart rate monitor takes forever to show you your current rate. The distance travelled is WAY off as are calories burned. This is important when you are trying to stay within a safe heart rate or trying to maintain your target heart rate. The movement feels awkward. I've used machines at the gym (and also a friend's elliptical of a different brand) and didn't expect it to be as good as they are, but also didn't expect it to be this bad. We will be taking this back!
I am so glad I got this elliptical. The shipping was faster than it said. I am not great with tools so it took a while for me to get some of the screws in. I got stuck a few times but once we got everything lined up it fit fine. Make sure to tighten everything very well. First few uses screws were popping out. I had to find someone with a tool box to tighten them up and now they are fine...no problems. This machine is very easy to move from room to room. Just tip it forward and wheel it around. It easily fit through my doorways and it fits nicely in the corner of my already packed bedroom. When using it, it does make some noise...a whooshing noise. But not too hard to tune out or turn up the tv! The screen show everything you would want to know from calories to distance... and it has some great programs that vary the resistance setting. This is my first exercise machine and I am already loosing weight with it. I would recommend this product to anyone.
I was looking for an inexpensive, compact exercise implement to fit in my small apartment. Based on the reviews I decided to go with this elliptical as opposed to a cheaper model. This was the first item I ever ordered from walmart.com and I was very pleased with how quickly it arrived at my local store for pick-up. (site-to-store...it took about 1 week)
As far as assembly goes, I was prepared to face some trouble with holes not matching up and having to be drilled out, but my fiance and I had no trouble and had it assembled in about 30 mins.
As for usage... it doesn't walk across the floor, it doesn't squeak and it glides very smoothly. I'm a novice to excercising so i can "feel the burn" after a few minutes on the lowest intensity. The monitor seems to be off when it comes to pulse/calories burned but that doesn't really bother me. I'm a petite woman (5' 2") so the stride length is perfect for me but may be a little short for someone taller. Overall, I am more than satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this product.
This product was fairly easy to put together. The foot beds are wide and comfortable. It is what I was looking for at a much lower price than similar machines.
This machine gives me a great workout. For the $$, I'd go for it. I did my research, and it is the BEST machine in it's price range.
As per other reviews, the assembly was easy (for my husband) and if you follow the instructions and actually TIGHTEN ALL of the bolts and screws, there is only the noise of the "swoosh" as you glide. I certainly was not expecting a "spot-on" counter of calories/heart rate, etc. But it certainly gives you a ball-park from which to begin and adjust your fitness level.
I LOVE the programs, especially #8: it goes up to top intensity and back down to low. Those who say they couldn't feel a difference must already be in top shape, because my body certainly feels a BIG difference between 1 and 9, and I haven't even ventured to move my feet from the front of the pedals.
Hey, if you can afford something better, then buy that. But if you are looking for a great workout in your own home on a budget, then I can highly recommend this machine.
(I've had it for one month. I use it 3 times a week, and I've lost 6lbs as well as an inch off of my waist and 1 1/2 off of my hips. I'm happy!)
The product has good quality. It's small and easy to move around. I recommend it to any one who wants a good workout at home.
I would recommend this product as an affordable machine that is good quality. We ordered it site to store, it came in a reasonable time and was not hard to put together. It gives me, my husband and teenage daughter a good workout. There are good resistance programs with a digital panel that has good readouts. Machine gives a really good workout so I can only do 20 minutes at a time. The machine plugs in with an a/c adapter so you do not have to use batteries. The stride works good for all three of us since we range from 5'2 to 5'7 inches tall. No problems at all with the machine so far. We have had it for about 3 weeks now. I had a treadmill for 5 years before getting this elliptical and like the elliptical better. My knees were starting to bother me on the treadmill. The elliptical does not hurt my knees.
This is a high quality, useful product that provides an excellent workout. It took me about 20 minutes to put it together, all of the hardware was pre-counted and shrinkwrapped to a labeled card. If the screws didn't fit, make certain you have the left and right pieces in the correct place. If you have the long handles reversed (left in right and vice versa), the hardware is difficult. When properly placed, you should have no problems. Excellent cardio workout. Make certain you are holding on to the Pulse meter for at least 30-45 seconds to assure a good reading. (If you leave a thermometer in your mouth for only 10 seconds, you won't think you have a fever....). Calories don't seem accurate, but time and distance seem fine. Wheels on front enable easy movement for workout and storage. Don't hesitate!
I spent a lot of time researching and reviewing products and this was a semi-expensive purchase for me. This product has been great. It was a cinch to put together...took about 20 min. and anyone could have done it. Time goes by so fast when I'm on this that I can't believe that my work out is over. I have used it about 15 times at 30 minutes each work out. I have tried all twelve programs and only dislike about four of them (which gives me 8 to enjoy). The magnetic resistance is key to simulating the same type of machine that would cost so much more found at a gym. If you are considering one of these machines you will not be disappointed in its size, potential, durability and ease of use. The only reason I did not give it all five stars is because I'm a tall guy and even though the foot pedals are very wide I would have liked them to be a little longer at least towards the back - at a gym they go back further so it has taken me a little bit to get used to but nothing that would cause me to stop using it or return it. Good, solid, quiet, effective. Hope this helps!

Original Message
The goal of Satanists is to eventually have demonic spirits materialize in the guise of benevolent beings. According to a former Illuminati, they will use rituals, dimension portals and blood sacrifice.
A recurring theme in TV and movies is the concept of portals that send travelers from one dimension or universe to another.
For example, "Stargate" presented this concept as well as aliens and spiritual ascension.
Even the Smurfs wait for a specific celestial alignment in order to open a portal to our world.
A book, Rastros do Oculto, from Brazilian author, Daniel Mastral, may explain the recurrence of this theme in the media.
Mastral used to be a high ranking Satanist, bred specifically to lead the group in Brazil, but instead he turned to Christ and became an evangelical.
In the book, he states that occultism, magick and Satanism seek the opening of portals and communication with evil fallen angels, or demons.
The accumulated esoteric knowledge of the ages was passed down by demons in the form of rituals, in order to open these portals and alienate people from God, assuring their damnation. Misery likes company.
The author tells us that in Ancient Egypt, Satan promised an alliance to a few. These people, who became the Mystery School members, are known as the Brotherhood of the "Children of the Fire".
According to Mastral, there are two kinds of portals: portals to the body and portals to Earth.
Portals to the body allow demons to interact and control humans.
The most basic ritual is channeling, where a medium lets a spirit talk through his mouth, dispensing counseling and commands.
Blood sacrifices, symbols, music, drugs and special meditation permit a higher level of demonic attachment and consequently, more spiritual powers to the follower.
These powers are the classic occult tricks of divination, telepathy (in fact messages delivered by demons), creation of fire, telekinesis, etc. These are not enhancements on the individual, but merely deeds done by spirits to look like the person has "evolved".
Much of the doctrine of chakras and the awakening of the kundalini spirit (total demonization) is in truth opening of bodily portals to demons.
More advanced followers can leave their bodies and perform astral projection, where they move around in their spirits, while their bodies are resting.
In this condition, they can also visit and interact with demonic spirits.
The whole hierarchy in Satanism depends on power and the level of the demon who is "residing" with the person, his protector.
Usually people with long family ties with the occult have the most powerful demons by their sides. Strong demons can indeed inflict disease and create accidents, and fights among satanists are common.
Fortunately, they can't harm true Christians, who are protected by the Holy Spirit and angels from God.
Portals to Earth are more complicated. According to Mastral, reality is comprised of nine dimensions which overlap in space but are separated in practice.
He gives us the metaphor of an elevator. Spirits from more elevated dimensions can go down to lower floors, but no one can go up.
We live in the fourth dimension. Below us there are several powerful demons who have been imprisoned by God as judgement. Lucifer is the only evil spirit to visit the ninth and highest plane.
Some portals are temporary and some, the most important ones, are permanent. Temporary portals depend on exact timing and special alignment of the dimensions, and this knowledge is beyond our science or perception.
That's why occultists obsess with numerology, gematria and astrology; for these are the tools that allow the calculations to be performed in order to profit from the portals to contact high level spirits.

Science Matters: Ice Photographer Warns Of Glacial Melting
On quiet days, when he was just a small boy, photographer and ice scientist James Balog says that on quiet winter mornings, he used to love to listen to snow hitting the ground. Now, as an adult, Balog has focused on ice around the world – more specifically melting ice. Balog was in Richmond Saturday and spoke to the Richmond Forum.

BOXING; Tyson Remains An Object of Fascination
Published: May 21, 2002
(Page 2 of 3)
''More and more people are saying no to drugs every day,'' he said into the camera with that characteristic hint of a lisp. ''They are the real champs.'' Here was a young man with an arrest record starting at age 12 who rose, by dint of talent and with the help of concerned adults, to make something of himself, to become a megastar.
Coming up, Tyson was all sinew and rippling muscle at 215 pounds, although he was relatively short for a topflight heavyweight boxer, standing about 5 feet 9 inches. (Lewis is 6-5.) Tyson seemed almost primal with no robe and no socks but with simple black trunks and black boxing shoes as he entered the ring and then ferociously attacked his opponents.
The young champ was described in a TV interview as ''levelheaded and humble.'' He helped up some of the opponents he knocked out. There were few athletes in the world who were more popular.
That Tyson hardly resembles the current version. While training recently for the Lewis fight here in Wailea on the island of Maui, Tyson made crude sexual remarks to female television reporters and talked of crushing the testicles of the reporters' children ''so you could feel my pain.''
He seems to say and do whatever he wishes, regardless of consequences, regardless of propriety, regardless of civility. He does not seem bound by the constraints of society; he appears to take pleasure in intimidating, in shocking.
After knocking out Lou Savarese in 38 seconds of the first round in June 2000, Tyson launched into a tirade in the ring, saying he wanted to eat Lewis's children. ''I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him,'' Tyson said of Lewis. He said it with such venom that if he was acting, he was Laurence Olivier in padded gloves.
Lewis, who has no children, said afterward: ''He's an arrogant imbecile. That's Mike, and you come to expect that. He sounds like a cartoon character.''
A cartoon character with a bite, to be sure. Lewis experienced this for himself when, in a news conference to promote the fight in January in Manhattan, a melee broke out and Tyson wound up biting Lewis's thigh. That altercation prompted the Nevada Athletic Commission to cancel the fight, which was to have been in Las Vegas. Attempts to bring it to Texas, California and Georgia failed. Finally, Memphis agreed to play host to the bout.
Tyson's last fight was in October, against the Danish heavyweight Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen. Nielsen, bloodied and bruised, could not answer the bell for the seventh round. Tyson had allowed his weight to balloon to 239 pounds, the most in his career.
It was Tyson's 49th victory -- 43 by knockout -- against three losses. The losses occurred when the journeyman Buster Douglas, a 42-1 underdog, knocked him out in the eighth round in 1990, and in his two bouts with Holyfield, the first ending in an 11th-round knockout in which Tyson lost his title in 1996, and the second in the ear-biting disqualification in the third round in 1997.
Life in the Spotlight
Tyson insisted that there was more than one Mike Tyson. He said he read extensively; he made allusions to Tolstoy and Pushkin, Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. On the bookshelf behind him in the villa were the Crime Encyclopedia and ''Machiavelli in Hell.''
''If you said something disrespectful about my children or my mother, I'd come and I might kill you, and that would be the real Mike,'' he said in an interview with print reporters one afternoon. ''And then again, I'm very generous. I'll give you my last dollar. Don King and all those guys didn't have to be stealing my money. I guess I wasn't giving it to them fast enough.''
He laughed. Here was the funny, appealing Tyson first seen by the public years ago. He was referring to King, the cunning fight promoter who in 1988 lured Tyson away from his original sponsor and manager, Bill Cayton; this took place after the deaths of Cayton's partner, Jimmy Jacobs, who was Tyson's trusted friend, and the trainer Cus D'Amato. D'Amato had become Tyson's legal guardian after Tyson's mother died when he was 16.
''Don't crucify me for who I am and I tell the world who I am,'' Tyson said, the words tumbling forth. ''I would love to be Tiger Woods. I would love to be Will Smith. I would love to be Michael Jordan. I could have played the game and, 'Oh, I'm somebody I'm not,' but I'm just not that kind of person, because I'm very uninhibited. I've got to be in the mix. I've got to be Tyson.
''But if I put a camera on you since you were 12, 13 years old -- I'm on television ever since I was 13 -- booo! Then I become insecure about that. Then I meet people who tell me the white man ain't nothin', and then to a certain extent he's right, but then he's injecting me with lies, too. So now I'm all screwed up.''
Cayton, Jacobs and D'Amato were all white, as are Atlas and Kevin Rooney, trainers who were protégés of D'Amato, and D'Amato's companion, Camille Ewald, whom Tyson called his adoptive mother. All of them had Tyson's respect, particularly D'Amato and Ewald, whom he saw as father and mother figures. King succeeded in winning Tyson's loyalty, in part by convincing him that he should not trust whites.

Dutch settlers were the first inhabitants of the area that is now known as Long Island City. This area was the first part of Queens to be settled. The name Long Island City was created by Captain Levy Hayden in 1853. After selling a large number of shares from his Hunter's Point Marine Railway to the Beebe family of Ravenswood Captain Hayden named the area with the hope that one day all of the Hunter's Point, Astoria, and Ravenswood would be unified. The idea of a Long Island City came from these areas wanting their own self government. A public referendum was passed on February 16, 1869 by a vote of 299 for and 150 against. The city was charted as a merging of the villages of Astoria, Steinway, Ravenswood, and Hunter's Point. It borders the East River in the North and West and Newton Creek to the South.
The charter to establish Long Island City was signed on Wednesday May 4, 1870. Abraham D. Ditmars, of Astoria, was the city's first Mayor. Early problems for the new city were a lack in decent roads to travel upon. Due mainly to the financial resources and tenacity of James Thomson many of the major roads of Long Island City were completely paved by 1880. This included the complete drainage of Ravenswood swamp. Most of the inland territory of what is now Long Island City was made up mostly of marshland. The city was prosperous due to thriving community industries in oil and glass. The city quickly gained the reputation of being a commercial and industrial district. One of the most prominent families were the Steinways. The German family, headed by Patrick Henry Steinway, were responsible for many upgrades to the Long Island City community and industry. They created streetcar lines, a piano factory, and a successful amusement park called North Beach which operated from 1886 to 1920. This park was located on the spot that is now known as La Guardia Airport. Riker's Island once belonged to Long Island City until it was purchased by New York City in September 1884 for the price of $2,500.
Long Island City operated as its own separate entity outside of greater New York City. Mayor Henry S. Debevoise was arrested on a warrant by the citizens for fraud and his ineffectiveness as mayor during a tense battle with gamblers that had invaded the city in the early 1880's. Patrick Jerome Gleason won the mayoral election of 1886 and became just as notorious as Henry Debevoise. Mayor Gleason appointed himself chief officer of the Police board, Fire Department, and Board of Education while appropriating funds of over $245,000 for a school that was not completed until he was removed from office. Gleason's acts of corruption gave the once highly touted community a reputation of political crime that was looked at badly by the rest of the country. These acts of corruption led to the Consolidation Act for a Greater New York which led to Long Island City becoming a part of greater New York in 1898.
The creation of the Queensboro Bridge in 1909 opened the isolated suburb to commuters who now had quick access into and out of Manhattan. The opening of the Penn Tubes in 1910 opened Long Island to travel from the Southern section of the city. People now had accessibility to other parts of New York and the once strong economic clout of Long Island City was slowly taken away by Manhattan. Over time many immigrants from various European countries such as Italy and Iceland came to settle in Long Island City. By far the biggest ethnic group is from Greece as Long Island City boasts the largest number of Greek people outside from the country of Greece.
Today Long Island City stands as one of the most industrialized melting pots of New York City and the United States.
In 1893 a movement to establish a Free Public Library began in the Long Island City community. The first Broadway Branch was opened in 1906 on 9th Avenue. It was the sixth library unit built for the Queens Public Library system. Circulation for the first year was 36,000. Circulation grew steadily leading to several changes in location.
Children's services in particular lead to two major moves. The first move led to a Children's facility created in 1930 on Steinway Street. Children's programs became so popular that they had to be discontinued due to lack of space. The need for more room led to the opening of the library's current location on April 25, 1958. The three story building is 15,800 in square feet and is located at 40-20 Broadway in Long Island City.
