Skip to comments.Bishop Williamson says Vatican-SSPX talks dialogue of the deaf
Posted on 01/20/2010 10:16:09 AM PST by NYer
Bishop Richard Williamson, the ultra-traditionalist prelate whose denial of the extent of the Holocaust created an uproar in the Catholic Church and with Jews early last year, has said the discussions at the Vatican to rehabilitate his Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) are a "dialogue of the deaf." Williamson, one of the four SSPX bishops whose bans of excommunication were lifted by Pope Benedict only days after his controversial views were aired on Swedish television, said the two sides had "absolutely irreconcilable" positions.
In a 15-minute interview posted on the French video-sharing website Dailymotion, Williamson discussed a number of issues with a man identified by the Paris Catholic daily La Croix as a minor French far-right politician named Pierre Panet. When asked about the negotiation under way at the Vatican to reintegrate the once-shunned SSPX into the Roman church, he said in fluent French:
"I think that will end up as a dialogue of the deaf. The two positions are absolutely irreconcilable. 2+2=4 and 2+2=5 are irreconcilable. Either those who say 2+2=4 renounce the truth and agree that 2+2=5 — that is, the SSPX abandons the truth, which God forbids us to do — or those who say 2+2=5 convert and return to the truth. Or the two meet halfway and say that 2+2=4-1/2. That's wrong. Either the SSPX becomes a traitor or Rome converts or it's a dialogue of the deaf."
Williamson's negationist views of the Holocaust caused such an uproar early last year that the head of the SSPX, Bishop Bernard Fellay, issued a gag order for him. It was so embarrassing for Benedict that he had to issue a letter to Catholic bishops around the world explaining his decision.

***the ultra-traditionalist prelate whose denial of the extent of the Holocaust created an uproar in the Catholic Church***
He a fan of Pius?
The members and followers of SSPX who have ceased to be Catholic will head off into the weeds ...
He will separate the wheat from the chaff.
It is all about pride, it is all about I'm so holy I do it right while every other Catholic does it wrong.
My SSPX friend doesn't have a clue, her life is in shambles, her children have left the SSPX church, her husband barely speaks to her, her mother only does because she is her daughter, I speak to her because I love her...all because she is in love with religion but not necesarily God. She is in love with the trappings, with the thought that she is doing it right, like somehow saying things in Latin is magic.
If my family didn't like me and my life was as messed up as her's, the first thing I'd do is inventory myself. If my attitude towards religion was pushing everyone I knew further from God, I'd wonder what kind of religion I was peddling. She has no joy, just rules and regulations. She doesn't revel in the gifts that God has given us and continues to give but only in her misery.
Okay, rant off.
Wow! I never realized how fluently he speaks French! Brilliant guy.
Pius XII, you mean? The man who was praised and honored by Jews all over the world when he died in 1958? The Pope whose record of saving Jews and undermining Hitler was well known to everyone—until the Commies unleashed vile, libelous charges against him in the 1960s? That Pius?
Yes, you do get a few of those. I've also seen folks with the same perverse dedication to liturgical and theological modernism.
Some folks appear to me to be uninterested in the truth.
AFAIK, all four of the illictly-consecrated SSPX bishops are loons. But Williamson is the looniest by far.
Maureen Dowd deserves special dishonorable mention, for implying that Benedict lifted Williamson's excommunication BECAUSE Williamson denied the Holocaust.
I get the strong feeling from Williamson that he doesn't want reconciliation with Rome, period. He's basically as anti-Papal as any ardent Protestant.
You make an excellent and very astute statement. How tragic that this woman has been taken in by this group.
The Pope shouldn't give these crackpots the time of day. Continuing to attempt to "dialogue" with them just gives them credibility they don't deserve. Since they're so sure the Pope is wrong about everything, they're obviously not Roman Catholics and don't want to be.
And look at Mel Gibson. He's quite the poster child for what this cult can do to someone's life.
Sounds like this guy is trying hard to sabotage reconciliation of SSPX with the Catholic Church and the Pope. He certainly doesn't seem so big on Vatican I's teaching on the role of the Pope as supreme governor of the Church.
How does that make him an ultra-traditionalist? If anything, he's a whack job. The Pope needs to excommunicate him again.
There it is, folks. The problem in a nutshell and confirmation that there will be no reconciliation of all four SSPX bishops and their followers.
That's about as clear a statement as one can make that SSPX is the true guardian of Catholicism and that the rest of the Church must "convert". Williamson equates the reintegration of the SSPX with treachery. Calling the talks a "dialogue of the deaf" is essentially the same as saying they are a waste of time. One can therefore conclude that the talks have gone ahead without his approval.
Williamsom was exiled from Minnesota to Argentina and was subsequently yanked from the seminary there to an indefinite sabbatical in London. I think it's fair to say that SSPX really don't know what to do with him. I have no doubt that there are saner minds within SSPX and hopefully these will help to steer the group towards reconciliation with the Pope but I'll bet my next pay check that Williamson will never be a part of such a reconciliation.
Talk about deaf. The man is deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant. Having dealt with him personally, I can tell you you honestly that it is all about him!
Grrr. If he really were deaf he wouldn't be saying those things.
Mel's not SSPX (he has/had his own thing going), and SSPX, for all their faults, would not ever endorse someone committing adultery. Or getting drunk, for that matter.
What happened to the gag order?
It is Willianson's position, about 2+2=4, but there is no indication that it is Fellay or even the majority of the SSPX's position. Williamson himself says that the negotiations are ongoing. Given his druthers, perhaps it's a sign that the negotiations are going well.
I think this is an accurate assessment.
Nope, not anti-papal but antisemitic! Williamson is the epitome of and at the crux of what we protestants take issue with the "mother" Church of Western Christianity under its current "pope". Here is an apostate disciple of fraudulent dogma, duly excommunicated by a holy RC Father (JPII) many of us consider a saint, who is welcomed back with open, forgiving arms by Ratzinger without having to go through any confessional act of accountability for obvious sinful disobedience; all the while, he (Williamson), displaying impenitent hubris .
Archbishop Timothy Broglio (but I don't believe he'd or anyone else would know about the contraceptive users among his flock.)
Are you actually of the belief that one can deny the holocaust, question the legitimacy of Israel and NOT be antisemetic?
RE: "we Protestants is an oxymoron, since each Protestant is his own church of one, his own pope and king. Anything a Protestant believes, can be refuted using another Protestant. You are on your own, flying solo.
Nope...some of us (Episcopalians, Anglicans) have bishops just like you do...and the diocese owns the church!
There is no such thing as the Church of Western Christianity, it is an insult all the Eastern Rite Catholics. The Catholic Church is universal, all over the world.
You mean the
C catholic church is universal...not the Catholic Church. BTW, ever here of the Great Schism?
RE; Here is an apostate disciple of fraudulent dogma, You don't have a clue what an apostate is. You don't know anything about the case of the 4 SSPX bishops.
Okay, genius, whatever the Society of St. Pius X bishops are, they aren't exactly faithful to the vow of obedience they took.
As a Catholic I don't care how ALL of the non-Catholic religions run their show. You are not a Catholic, why should you care about our internal matters? Might it be that the truth is that you care because deep down you know that the Catholic Church is the true religion, and a firebrand on your conscience?
A "true Christian" religion is one that embraces the divinity and hope of salvation from a forgiving Heavenly Father for sinful deeds by the presence of the risen Jesus Christ who paid the debt for those sins some 2,000 years ago. Through Christ's first human vicar (St. Peter) the catholic church was founded, hence "Mother Church"...and for that we protestants thank you--well, not you (especially being the chauvinistically protestant basher you are) but the historic roots of the church.
You should look him up--as well as his predecessor Archbishop Edwing O'Brien (now Archbishop of Baltimore). I've met both of them at confirmation services of military children. Their sermons were inspiring and uplifting for all Christians...incidentally, they have/had the largest diocese in the world (all the military bases, plus embassies) and they have done chaplain duties with Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Guardsmen--meaning they've seen combat up front and personal, slept in muddy foxholes eating cold MREs, been subjected to hostile fire, and given last rites to the young and dying of sniper wounds or torn in two by IEDs; not the typical elderly suffering after a lifetime of smoking the average priest sees in a hospice.
What a non sequitur! The holocaust had nothing to do with Jesus as it occurred some 1,900 years later.
2) He never denied the killing of Jews by the Nazis, read your own article, the other one that you posted on Willamson. He questions the figure of 6 million, and the gas chambers killing millions.
Do you know how the figure of 6 million was derived? It accounted for all atrocities committed on Jews, Gypsies, Seventh Day Adventists, mentally/physically challenged persons...any who did not fit the Nazi ideal. Obviously RCs did because most of the nazis were Roman Catholic--including Hitler. And the figure is accurate because France, Eastern Europe and the other countries invaded by Hitler kept census records which could not account that many persons, the majority of whom were Jewish.
3) the legitimacy of Israel is question by Orthodox Jewish rabbis, are they anti-semitic to you? Look it up online for yourself.
The legitimacy of Israel was established by a U.N. world mandate in 1948--62 years ago this year. For any official to deny its legitimacy, would be as if the King of England decided the U.S. was not legitimate in 1851, 62 years after our Constitution was ratified and after he had twice been defeated in war. He would be a buffoon, which Wuilliamson is!
Bishop Willamson is a real man, and is not afraid of the secular humanist world that runs the media, he tells it like he sees it. Do you know anyone else who speaks clearly like him or the orthodox rabbis you'll find out about?
Williamson is a fraud who helped establish a cult, pure and simple. His SSPX is little different than the Legionaries of Christ which the pope has ordered investigated because of widespread sexual misconduct. Williamson's 2+2=4, 2+2=5 or 2+2=41/2 and reason "that the Vatican will have to reform" garbage he gave to the French news agency proves he is an unabashed, unapologetic, impenitent jew-hating rebel. And, if you ascribed to the doctrine of papal infallibility, then how the hell can you reconcile the fact that JPII excommunicated him only to be countermanded?
Look. That denial of methods and numbers of the Jews that perished is offensive to their memory no one disputes. But that goes too far. You are ascribing an emotion, and an unhealthy, in fact sinful one, to a man you never met, and who repeteadly denied that he is motivated by hatred.
I think Williamson is very misguided, but he should not be made what he is not. Certainly his ex-communication, or possible reconciliation have nothing to do with his musings on the events of 20c century.
Excommunications are by design instruments of reconciliation. They are done so that they can by, hopefully lifted one day. This one was no different.

I am just getting into road biking again. My old bike is very old, so I'm just going to leave that set up on my indoor trainer. Being a stay-at-home mom with 2 very little boys, I don't have much time to shop for a bike. I am thinking about just going with this http://www.rei.com/product/807241 I can get 20% off. Haven't test ridden it. Would you say go for it, or visit a local bike shop and get personal assistance? I wanted to find something a little cheaper, but I am giving myself a budget of $1000.
Well, what kind of riding do you want to do? Training for something? Or just ride around the neighborhood with the kids? This bike is a good starter road bike. Not really for riding around with the kids. That you will want a hybrid bike. Good luck
I would recommend a Jamis for under 1000. Its a good dependable bike for the price-American made too. The bike shop in Tucker has them. Bikeways of Tucker? not sureof the name... but talk to Buddy the owner. A good egg.
It has decent components (Shimano 105 shifters and derailleurs, tiagra for the rest), but it's a little heavy. I'd figure out what size you need, try REI and Performance (if there is one nearby), but also consider bikesdirect.com. Local shops will be much more expensive, but will offer a follow up tune up and more person to person service. NOT always better service, but different service.
If you need help with bike fit, I'm blogging about it cause I worked my way through it recently when I bought a new bike, but it's very much a work in progress...What Size Bike Do I Need
A lot of people have very strong opinions about what bike is best -- I am not one of those. To me, proper fit is by far the most important factor, followed by at least reasonable quality components. Getting hung up bike weight is kinda silly for most of us (at least speaking for those who, like me, are packing at least 10 lbs more body fat than we should!) -- obviously lighter is generally better, but a few grams won't make any difference unless you are an elite athle
Of course, if you were thinking of hauling those boys around in a trailer, you might rather go with a hybrid.
Whatever you decide, enjoy!
Personally, I admire that REI is trying to get people on bikes. But would I purchase a Novara road bike? The short answer is no. Why, you ask? For starters, it is probably one of the least comfortable bikes that I've ridden, and I've test ridden a lot of bikes. Also, every Novara that I've ridden feels like I'm riding a heavy log (in other words, I don't think they feel all that nimble or quick). Although REI offers bike maintenance, they don't offer fit services.
I am a big fan of shopping at a local bike shop where (a) they will spend time allowing you to test ride different models, (b) offer professional fit services (should you need them), and (c) know how to service the bike. You may spend more up front, but you will have something that you are happy with. Also, if you can find time, shop around and try different bikes - each one has minor differences in fit that you will probably notice. Although weight can be a factor as well, most bikes in your price range will be similar. I agree with BSheidler: fit is the most important factor. So if you can find a sitter or bring a friend to watch your children while you test ride, you are more likely to find something that you'll really enjoy riding.
I'm with Brian.
Test ride a few bikes. Make sure you consider that a bike might not feel spot on the first time you ride it. For example, if you have not been on a bike and have not done a push up since junior high, why would we expect our triceps and shoulder muscles to feel great after the first ride. Go to a shop with a good reputation in the area and ask if they perhaps have a previous year model on sale. As mentioned, the fit is the key.
EJ Levy
REI is a great store but if you want the most for your money try www.bikesdirect.com they have all styles of bikes at great prices. I bought a Road bike for $1400. with ulterga and FSA componets and if I had gone to REI a bought a bike with what it has it would have cost me $3400.00 plus tax. There was no tax and no shipping charges and it arrived in less than a week. With the money I saved I was able to fit it out with a cateye computer water bottles and racks, pumps and up graded the seat.
I would not decide to buy that bike until I had visited a local bike shop. You can get a good road bike for less than $1000. The big plus at a local shop is personal service after the sale. Hard to get that with mail order and it is priceless as the saying goes.
My first road bike (1992) cost $329. It is a Raleigh Technium and I rode it for many thousands of miles. It was used on my first century, my first overnight bike camping, my first bike festival. You do not have to spend thousands to get a good quality fun bike to ride. Just stay away from mass marketers.
My young son was a regular on the back of my mountain bike in the neighborhood and at a festival. Slept a lot back there but now is a dedicated roadie and sometime mountain biker working part time in a local bike shop while in school.
I have seen Specialized, Jamis, Schwinn, GT and others in the bike shop for less than a thousand. If it is a year or two old you may save even more and still get a quality bike. They don't change that much from year to year and unless you are racing, componentry lasts a long long time. The old Shimano Exage 300 components still give good service on my old Raleigh although I've replaced the rear derailleur.
Good luck with your decision. Ride with your boys as they grow.

Described as the "high-priestess of the music hall" and as the "contemporary incarnation of 'all-purpose' in the American style," Academy Award winner Liza Minnelli was announced as the latest Officer in France's Order of the Legion of Honor at a ceremony held today at the French Ministry of Culture in Paris.
Minister of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand declared that Minnelli, "for more than five decades […] has ensured that the show must go on." A visibly moved Minnelli, for her part, said she was "honored to have become a part of France, a part of Paris."
She also recalled that her father, director Vincente Minnelli, had promised her that one day "she would learn to dance, would wear a nice dress, and would go to Paris … This moment is marvelous. It's today!"
Additionally, Minnelli thanked French icon Charles Aznavour, whom she reportedly considers her mentor.
Liza Minnelli's first film appearance was in the last scene of Robert Z. Leonard's In the Good Old Summertime, a 1949 musicalized remake of The Shop Around the Corner that starred Minnelli's mother, Judy Garland, and Van Johnson.
In addition to her Best Actress Oscar for Bob Fosse's Cabaret (1972), Minnelli has earned one British Academy Award (also for Cabaret), three Tonys (including a special award), two Golden Globes (for Cabaret and the 1985 television movie A Time to Live), an Honorary Grammy, and an Emmy. Her album "Confessions" was released in fall 2010.

on February 7, 2014 - 12:01 AM
When I was growing up, my father, Samuel, was one of four siblings: my Uncles Abe and Harold, and my Aunt Rose Schulman. They're all gone now, but I have fond memories of them.
Then there was Eugene, who died very early in the 20th century. My father and I visited his grave a few times, but nothing much was said.
My grandparents came to Buffalo from "the old country," met at the Pan-American Exposition and married. They were both "frum" – very observant Orthodox Jews – and poor as church mice (no pun intended).
Precious little is known about Eugene. There are no stories, no memories and no photos. There are only two documents: his birth and death certificates.
Eugene was born in 1904, and his birth certificate named him as "Gustav Axelrod." Sometime during his life, Gustav was Americanized to Eugene. I immediately felt a bond, as I was named after my grandfather, Hymen Axlerod, but my parents had the good taste to Americanize it to Harvey. Eugene was born as "Axelrod," but died as "Axlerod." There is a family story that when my grandparents became citizens, one of the children misspelled "Axelrod" as "Axlerod." A hundred years later, the Axelrod/Axlerod confusion persists, another bond between us.
His death certificate lists his occupation as "schoolboy." From the cemetery in which he is buried, I know he prayed at the Jefferson Street Shul (still standing in disrepair at the corner of William Street).
Cemeteries are intriguing places, so let me tell you what I discovered. Eugene is buried in the oldest section of a rather old Jewish cemetery on Pine Ridge Road. In Jewish tradition, a visitor often leaves a small stone on the gravestone as a sign of remembrance and honor. In that section, none of the gravestones had small stones on them. I'm sure most of these people are long forgotten, but not Eugene. I left a small stone on his gravestone.
Next, his gravestone was tilted. Orthodox Jews always bury their loved ones in a pine box, designed to decay and become part of the earth. So, after 99 years, a tipped gravestone confirms that he had a "frum" burial. The gravestone itself is revealing: very small, with a lamb on one side. I've never seen a lamb on a Jewish gravestone, because lambs usually connote Christ. On the other side, there is none of the traditional Hebrew detailing parental lineage, just the brief inscription "Eugene Axlerod, age 10, died on May 30, 1914." I'm sure that poverty had a great deal to do with all of this.
That's all I know. I'm sure he played, laughed, cried when punished and ran like all boys do. I'm sure he was the apple of his mother's eye, and grew up in a loving, but disciplined, family. One has to wonder, what were his dreams? Did he want to become a Ty Cobb, a Teddy Roosevelt, a teacher, a doctor or a rabbi? We'll never know. But he did have one accomplishment, even if unknown to him. He was my Uncle Eugene.
The loss of anyone is a loss to all of mankind, even a little boy a century ago. With the publication of this article, his story will be memorialized on the Internet, long after the papers and gravestone have decayed.
On May 30, the 100th anniversary of his death, I will say Kaddish (the mourner's prayer), light a memorial (Yahrzeit) candle and toast him with some fine scotch. Here's to you, Uncle Eugene!

'Auto Radio and Stereo Systems' are installed in automobiles and are used as sound or video systems. Auto radio and stereo systems use 12 volt power supplies for usage in cars, buses, etc. The stereo systems are mostly used in cars and are placed in the dash panel which is between the driver and the passenger. The auto radio systems in Addison have sub-woofers which are of low frequency and they do not violate any noise regulations.
In Addison, nowadays motorcycles and even bicycles are fitted with the audio and stereo systems. The car audio and stereo systems consist of MP3 players, CD-radio and other types of sound system. Speakers, amplifiers, sub-woofers, etc, form the parts of audio and stereo systems in Addison.
Each year as a tradition to myself and this green movement website, I write on the events of Earth Day (April 22nd) this year is no exception. I will focus more on some new ideas and representations of our planet Earth. The symbols of Earth Day have been similar throughout the years, including an image or drawing of the Earth..

See below for tips and tricks for travel to Bermuda.
We can try to assist in finding a place to stay but we have found in the past that the best deals and info is always found on the internet or through a travel agent especially if you like major hotels. Hotel accommodation in Bermuda is not cheap and some folks go the guest house route.
If you are interested in staying in a guest house or apartment the following info is very useful and we have had visitors that have been very pleased with the results:
Bermuda Accommodations Inc.
www.bermudarentals.com(lots of useful links here too!!)
General Info on Bermuda Rentals
Deposits for most properties are 15% paid at point of booking, and 85% paid upon arrival in Bermuda.
They do not include tips in their prices: if there is maid service at the property you rent, it is customary and a kindness to leave a gratuity.
Hotel bookings require a credit card deposit and certain conditions apply.
Please note: Several of the large house rental listings must pay the 7.25% Bermuda Government occupancy tax.
Large house rentals also require a lease and payment in advance. Please read Terms of Service for further details.
Where ever possible will also try to house visitors with members and their families but this cannot always be guaranteed.
Although we cannot always provide transport for everyone, it would be helpful to know who is arriving on what flight etc. so we can try!! Taxi's are available directly ahead of you as you exit the airport arrivals hall and can be shared to the same destination.
Mopeds can be rented from a cycle livery and you need to tell them whether or not you want a SINGLE SEATER or a DOUBLE SEATER. We normally recommend the following and depending on bookings MAY be able to arrange a discount:
Warning on Mopeds: They are fun, they are cool, and they can be DEADLY!!! We drive on the opposite side of road here and there is A LOT of traffic. If you rent a bike make sure that you are comfortable with riding on the road-if not take it back!!! Road rash is often considered the "Bermuda Tourist Tattoo" and there is no better way to ruin your holiday. Whilst I am not trying to discourage you from renting a moped, it is the best way the see the island, BE CAREFUL. Don't try to ride like local (we kill ourselves at a rate of about 1 ½ a month on bikes) and DON'T drink and drive on a moped!!! And after saying all that….have fun!!!!!
Public Transport
Bermuda has a very efficient and reasonable bus and ferry service, the details of which can be found here through the Bermuda Rentals web site links.
Bermuda Tips
I thought that I would write down a few quick notes of things you should know before you arrive in Bermuda.
It is Hot!
Bermuda is hot and very humid in the summer and you will need to drink more water than you expect. Energy drinks etc are helpful too as you will find yourself face down somewhere if you don't hydrate!!!
The Sun
It is hot!!! You will get a sunburn here in a heart beat if you are not careful (especially you pasty white people-you know who you are!!!) Sunblock is your best friend; wear it everywhere, all the time!!! (Sunblock is expensive here, so bring some with you-30 SPF or above)
Bring a hat or two to keep the sun off of you head (especially you guys with "thinning" hair-WE know who WE are!!!) Bring a light weight long sleeve shirt as sun protection and to help you "beat the burn" and a UV swimming shirt may also be useful as well.
Bermuda is still relatively safe if you are aware of your surroundings-don't leave your brain on the plane!!
The Law
I probably don't need to mention this but I will: DON'T BRING ANYTHING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T (narcotics) otherwise you may be staying here a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time!!! Also guns are ILLEGAL here as is carrying a knife or any "bladed article".
Cell Phones
Don't turn it on!!!! Roaming charges in Bermuda are "off the hook", so if E.T. must phone home, buy a calling card at the local grocery or pharmacy.
In Bermuda, $1 Bermuda is the same as $1 US and US currency is accepted everywhere in Bermuda. But, Bermuda is expensive so bring more money-we need it!!! Spend, spend spend!!!

Sulaiman on Aydin-Guerrero for Interim Belt, Mayweather
By Rick Reeno
The World Boxing Council's Secretary General, Mauricio Sulaiman, spoke with BoxingScene.com to explain the situation surrounding the WBC welterweight title and the championship status of the current beltholder, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs).
Citing WBC President Jose Sulaiman, numerous outlets in Mexico reported that Mayweather was going to get stripped of his WBC title, because the unbeaten is moving up to 154-pounds to fight Miguel Cotto for the WBA championship on May 5th, and because Mayweather will then begin an 87-day prison sentence for a domestic abuse charge.
Mauricio tells BoxingScene the reports in Mexico are inaccurate. There was "miscommunication" between Jose and some of the reporters, says Mauricio.
"There was miscommunication. Floyd Mayweather holds a record for winning the most WBC titles in five weight divisions. Mayweather has an eleven year history with the WBC. He is the most loyal fighter and we are in full support of him and his career," Mauricio told BoxingScene.com.
On July 28th in San Jose, California - Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17KOs) and Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (29-1-1, 18KOs) will battle for the WBC's interim-title at 147-pounds.
The interim-title is rarely used by the WBC. In this particular situation, the WBC felt the interim-title was necessary. Aydin, who won the WBC's silver title in June 2010, has been waiting for nearly two years to get a crack at the full championship. Because Aydin has been waiting, patiently, the WBC approved the interim-title for his fight with Guerrero.
"The WBC's concept of interim-titles is still in the rules. The interim-title was created many, many years ago and specifically for situations like this one. The reason [we rarely use] the interim concept, is because it was abused tremendously - especially by other organizations and it created so much confusion all over the world with the boxing fans. We do still have in our rules the possibility of accepting the interim championship. It will only be done in very, very special circumstances like this one," Mauricio said.
[QUOTE=JoeWbbmest311;11888898]Then what the F is the silver belt?[/QUOTE] I thought the Silver Title was the WBC's replacement for interim belts. winning a Silver Title makes you mandatory challenger .... as both Saul Alvarez and Julio Chavez Jr picked up WBC…Comment by Hougigo on 03-14-2012
If Mayweather gets stripped, this will probably be for the full title.Comment by nycsmooth on 03-14-2012
Aydin's over-rated, not a mini-tyson as he claims & vs JoJo he got a gift the 1st bout, but clearly 1 the 2nd..Guerrero to win, even going up 2 WW...Comment by RlCKY on 03-14-2012
Then what the F is the silver belt?? "There was miscommunication. Floyd Mayweather holds a record for winning the most WBC titles in five weight divisions. Mayweather has an eleven year history with the WBC. [B]He is the most loyal…Comment by flint on 03-14-2012
the special circumstances are the WBC will get a nice piece of pay check from mayweather to keep his 147lbs belt and another nice piece of pay check should the mayweather vs pacquiao fight happen. thats all thats going on…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (11)

The Hidden Truth LbNA # 36893

Every year, six million visitors from throughout the world travel across continents to the Musée du Louvre in Paris to gaze in wonder at Leonardo Da Vinci's famous portrait, the Mona Lisa. An oil painting on poplar wood, the portrait took Da Vinci four years (15031506) to complete. For centuries afterwards, his talent and ingenuity sparked several debates and a multitude of theories in a global effort to uncover the mysteries hidden behind the Mona Lisa's smile.
The androgyny of the Mona Lisa reflects the sacred union of male and female which is implied in the holy union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Such parity between the cosmic forces of masculine and feminine has long been a deep threat to the established power of the Church. The name Mona Lisa is actually an anagram for "Amon L'Isa", referring to the father and mother gods of Ancient Egyptian religion (namely Amun and Isis).
An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once.
Decode the anagram to find The Hidden Truth.

Foothill Gold Line E-News
June 27, 2016
Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan
Last Thursday, the Metro board of directors approved placing a new half-cent sales tax, and an extension of the 2008-approved Measure R half-cent sales tax, on the November 2016 ballot. The proposed measure, named the "Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan," includes a multi-page expenditure plan laying out how more than $120 billion in anticipated revenues could fund nearly 100 priority projects in the first forty years, if approved by voters.
Completing the Foothill Gold Line from Glendora to the county line in Claremont would be one of the first projects to break ground under the proposed plan; allocating just over $1 billion to add new stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona and Claremont (the extension to Montclair would need to be funded separately, by San Bernardino County).
Metro is asking voters to support the taxes with no sunset date; allowing acceleration of capital construction projects (transit and highway), adding new projects, and giving back more tax revenue to the 88 local cities in the county for their use in improving transportation infrastructure.
Detailed information about Metro's Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan can be found at theplan.metro.net.
Improved service to Foothill Gold Line stations starts today
To reduce overcrowding and confusion, beginning today Metro has improved service to the Foothill Gold Line stations. All Gold Line trains will now travel past the Sierra Madre Villa Station in Pasadena to the new Foothill Gold Line stations, with peak-hour trains arriving every seven minutes.

Or is this something a Dr. has to do? Wondering how much my co-pay would be (if I took it, but not "big" enough)
Sentiment: Buy
I just checked its 5.00 bucks if you have sheety insurance and its free for rest..
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Search this board and InvestorVillage board with search term "insurance coverage" and you will see that several providers have already indicated they will.
The more people call and demand coverage, the more likely the insurance company will investigate this drug and possible coverage. Call them!
Yes, you can call your insurance company and ask. Many majors such as UHC, AEtna, and Anthem are covering it. The $200 price tag gets reduced to $30 copay usually, but depends on your exact plan.
If you just pay 30 bucks, consider yourself lucky. I can't tell you how sick it is to hear someone complain about a 30 buck copay on a 200 plus drug. I try to rationalize it with them and explain a dinner at a fancy place costs double, gas tank filling is almost double or double, etc. I understand that medical care is overpriced, but a 30 buck copay? Please.
Very dangerous to lie about drug coverage.
After the product is on the market, yes you could inquire with your insurance company regarding coverage parameters and copay for when and if you are prescribed Belviq. There is a good chance that you will have to meet a few criteria to be covered. Such as a high BMI, high- BP, and or Cholesterol etc. These are metabolic syndrome comorbidities and may be the key to coverage. Your Doctor will most likely need to document your qualifying parameters in what is termed a P/A or prior authorization to help you secure coverage after he/she prescribes Belviq for you. These are common place for branded medications especially new ones. JMO. Good luck to you and I hope that helps.
Don have to call as I have Aetna and their coverage has been previously announced.

Thanks for the advice erik though I was actually thinking about being brave and going for a digital SLR instead of a compact. Great photo by the way, but made me a little nervous as my husband has just booked us on a balloon flight for my birthday in July! Best regards from rainy old England Sam.
Sorry Sam i've been very busy these last dayz and missed your reaction.I use a Canon digital SLR. One big plus for Canon is u can use 'old' lenses from the analog time. So there are plenty of good secondhand lenses for sale.Lenses (especially the better ones) are much more expensive than the camera so you can save a lot on that in the future if u decide to get some special lenses.
Greetings Erik
