Posted on 02/06/2008 5:37:18 PM PST by Salvation
" Dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return."
|Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God. (Joel 2:13)
Ash Wednesday is a day of both fasting and abstinence.
|The Holy Season of Lent
|Fast and Abstinence.
It is a traditional doctrine of Christian spirituality that a constituent part of repentance, of turning away from sin and back to God, includes some form of penance, without which the Christian is unlikely to remain on the narrow path and be saved (Jer. 18:11, 25:5; Ez. 18:30, 33:11-15; Joel 2:12; Mt. 3:2; Mt. 4:17; Acts 2:38). Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed (Lk. 5:35). The general law of penance, therefore, is part of the law of God for man.
The Church has specified certain forms of penance, both to ensure that the Catholic will do something, as required by divine law, while making it easy for Catholics to fulfill the obligation. Thus, the 1983 Code of Canon Law specifies the obligations of Latin Rite Catholics [Eastern Rite Catholics have their own penitential practices as specified by the Code of Canons for the Eastern Churches].
The Church, therefore, has two forms of official penitential practices - three if the Eucharistic fast before Communion is included.
Abstinence The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Meat is considered to be the flesh and organs of mammals and fowl. Moral theologians have traditionally considered this also to forbid soups or gravies made from them. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted, as are animal derived products such as margarine and gelatin which do not have any meat taste.
On the Fridays outside of Lent the U.S. bishops conference obtained the permission of the Holy See for Catholics in the US to substitute a penitential, or even a charitable, practice of their own choosing. Since this was not stated as binding under pain of sin, not to do so on a single occasion would not in itself be sinful. However, since penance is a divine command, the general refusal to do penance is certainly gravely sinful. For most people the easiest way to consistently fulfill this command is the traditional one, to abstain from meat on all Fridays of the year which are not liturgical solemnities. When solemnities, such as the Annunciation, Assumption, All Saints etc. fall on a Friday, we neither abstain or fast.
During Lent abstinence from meat on Fridays is obligatory in the United States as elsewhere, and it is sinful not to observe this discipline without a serious reason (physical labor, pregnancy, sickness etc.).
Fasting The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday [Canon 97] to the 59th Birthday [i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday] to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. Such fasting is obligatory on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The fast is broken by eating between meals and by drinks which could be considered food (milk shakes, but not milk). Alcoholic beverages do not break the fast; however, they seem contrary to the spirit of doing penance.
Those who are excused from fast or abstinence Besides those outside the age limits, those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or nourishment, manual laborers according to need, guests at a meal who cannot excuse themselves without giving great offense or causing enmity and other situations of moral or physical impossibility to observe the penitential discipline.
Aside from these minimum penitential requirements Catholics are encouraged to impose some personal penance on themselves at other times. It could be modeled after abstinence and fasting. A person could, for example, multiply the number of days they abstain. Some people give up meat entirely for religious motives (as opposed to those who give it up for health or other motives). Some religious orders, as a penance, never eat meat. Similarly, one could multiply the number of days that one fasted. The early Church had a practice of a Wednesday and Saturday fast. This fast could be the same as the Church's law (one main meal and two smaller ones) or stricter, even bread and water. Such freely chosen fasting could also consist in giving up something one enjoys - candy, soft drinks, smoking, that cocktail before supper, and so on. This is left to the individual.
One final consideration. Before all else we are obliged to perform the duties of our state in life. When considering stricter practices than the norm, it is prudent to discuss the matter with one's confessor or director. Any deprivation that would seriously hinder us in carrying out our work, as students, employees or parents would be contrary to the will of God.

Lenten Fact
The original period of Lent was 40 hours. It was spent fasting to commemorate the suffering of Christ and the 40 hours He
spent in the tomb.
In the early 3rd century, Lent was lengthened to 6 days. About 800 AD it was changed to 40 days.

.....St. Louis de Montfort
Thanks for posting all of this! If I may add, there are some things we're allowed to (if not encouraged to) "feast" on during Lent I believe, namely the Sacraments. This is the second year I have increased the frequency of the times I partake in the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent. I say this for the benefit of others, not to brag. It truly is beneficial, even though it's always a "pain". No one likes to do it, but it puts things in proper perspective.
I encourage all to partake of the Sacrament at least one more time than usual during this time. Or, if you haven't been in a long time, then by all means go at least once. Not a lecture, or meant to make anyone feel guilty just a reminder out of love.
**I have increased the frequency of the times I partake in the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent.**
So true for me. I had a limit on myself of every two months. And then, not to brag, it turned into every four weeks.
Then this year I have participated in the fantastic Sacrament every two or three weeks. It is so astounding to me.
And such a blessing to my soul.
Agree with your recommendations — only I would add "keep it up after Lent!"

|"O God, be merciful to me a sinner!" (Luke 18:13)
Suppose one has forgiven an injury and experienced reconciliation with the injurer--a process of two distinct stages. In such situations, it is not helpful to repeatedly bring our remembrance of the injury into the relationship. Discretion and a willingness to let the past be the past are called for, for the sake of the relationship--call this a type of "forgetting" if you will.

Lenten Fact
Since Lent is a penitential season of preparation for Easter, the Stations of the Cross, which follow the path of Christ from Pontius Pilate's praetorium to Christ's tomb have been a popular devotion in parishes. In the 16th century, this pathway was officially entitled the "Via Dolorosa" (Sorrowful Way) or simply Way of the Cross or Stations of the Cross.
|Saturday, Fourth Week of Lent
|Lord, my God, in you I take refuge! (Psalm 7:2)
Lenten Fact
Tradition holds that our Blessed Mother visited daily the scenes of our Lord's passion.
|Sunday, Fifth Week of Lent
|Then a voice came from the sky: "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." (John 12:28)
Lenten Fact
Passiontide is the last two weeks of Lent, when the readings and prayers of the liturgy focus on the Passion of Our Lord. The word 'passion', in the Christian sense, does not mean an intense emotion; it refers to the historical events of Jesus' suffering and death. Although for several centuries the Fifth Sunday of Lent was known as Passion Sunday, after the Second Vatican Council this name was restored to the Sunday at beginning of Holy Week , formerly called Palm Sunday. As a penitential season of the Church, Passiontide is evidently even more ancient than Lent.
|Monday, Fifth Week of Lent
|"Nor do I condemn you. You may go." (John 8:11)
Lenten Fact.
In 1342, the Franciscans were appointed as guardians of the shrines of the Holy Land. The faithful received indulgences for praying at the following stations: At Pilate's house, where Christ met His mother, where He spoke to the women, where He met Simon of Cyrene, where the soldiers stripped Him of His garments, where He was nailed to the cross, and at His tomb.
|Tuesday, Fifth Week of Lent
|Because He spoke this way, many came to believe in Him. (John 8:30)
Lenten Fact.
When the Moslem Turks blocked the access to the Holy Land, reproductions of the Stations of the Cross were erected at popular spiritual centers, including the Dominican Friary at Cordova and Poor Clare Convent of Messina (early 1400s); Nuremberg (1468); Louvain (1505); Bamberg, Fribourg and Rhodes (1507); and Antwerp 1520). Many of these stations were reproduced by renowned artists and are considered masterpieces today.
|Wednesday, Fifth Week of Lent
|"If you live according to my teaching, you are truly my disciples." (John 8:31)
Lenten Fact.
St. Leonard Casanova (1676-1751) of Porto Maurizio, Italy, reportedly erected over 600 sets of the Stations of the Cross throughout Italy.
|Thursday, Fifth Week of Lent
|"I solemnly assure you, if a man is true to my word he shall never see death." (John 8:51)
Lenten Fact.
In the early 3rd century, Lent was lengthened to 6 days. About 800 AD it was changed to 40 days.
|Friday, Fifth Week of Lent
Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
|Lord of hosts, you who test the just, who probe mind and heart...to you I have entrusted my cause. (Jeremiah 20:12)
Lenten Fact.
Wenceslaus, king of Bohemia, being seized with a malady which rendered it dangerous to his health to take Lenten diet, applied, in the year 1297, to Pope Boniface VIII., for leave to eat meat. The Pontiff commissioned two Cistercian abbots to inquire into the real state of the prince's health; they were to grant the dispensation sought for, if they found it necessary, but on the following conditions: that the king had not bound himself by a vow, for life, to fast during Lent; that the Fridays, the Saturdays, and the vigil of St. Mathias, were to be excluded from the dispensation; and, lastly, that the king was not to take his meal in presence of others, and was to observe moderation in what he took.
Saturday, Fifth Week of Lent
|Jesus would die for the nationand not for this nation only, but to gather into one all the dispersed children of God. (John 11:51-52)
Lenten Question
Q: Why do we fast and abstain during Lent?
|Passion (Palm) Sunday
|They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks across its back, and he sat on it. (Mark 11:7)
Lenten Fact
According to the account of a fifth-century Spanish pilgrim to the Holy Land, Passion Sunday Mass was celebrated in Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. After this the people were invited to meet again in the afternoon at the Mount of Olives, in the Church of Eleona (the grotto of the Our Father). They then proceeded to the Church of the Ascension for a service consisting of hymns and antiphons, readings and prayers, where at five o'clock in the afternoon the Gospel of the palms was read and the procession set out for the city. The people responded to the antiphons with the acclamation, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord," as we say even today.

McCain: "Hell To Pay" To Whoever Downed Malaysian Airliner Over Ukraine
Posted July 17th, 2014 @ 5:49pm
(Washington, DC) -- Senator John McCain says there will be "hell to pay" if it turns out that Russia or Russian separatists were involved in the crash of a Malaysian airliner in eastern Ukraine.
The Arizona Republican made the comment on MSNBC. He also warned that no one should yet jump to conclusions about what happened. Ukrainian officials claim the Boeing 777 was brought down by a ground-to-air missile.
Around 280 passengers and 15 crew members are presumed to be dead.

The Erie Otters have reached No. 1 in the CHL top 10 ranking for the first time in 13 years.
The Otters (23-4-1-0) passed the QMJHL's Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (21-3-4-1) on the latest list, which was released Wednesday.
The Otters are at the top for the first time since a three-week stretch from Dec. 4-18, 2000. They headline a ranking that includes three other OHL clubs: Guelph (20-5-2-1) at No. 4, Sault Ste. Marie (19-5-0-3) at No. 9 and Oshawa (21-7-0-1) at No. 10. London (19-6-1-1) is on the honorable mention list.
- Dane Fox and Devin Williams were named the OHL's player and goaltender of the month, respectively, for November.
Fox had 15 goals, 29 points and a plus-11 rating in 13 games to become the second straight Otter to earn a monthly honor, following Connor Brown in October.
Williams posted a 9-0-0-0 record, 1.95 goals-against average, .925 save percentage and two shutouts in nine games.

"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the comics posted so far!
Today we take a look at a very good mini-series from Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen called Superman: Secret Identity…
I can talk a lot about Kurt Busiek's story in Superman: Secret Identity, the story about a young man named Clark Kent who has lived his whole life getting teased about his famous name who, one day, wakes up finding himself having the powers of Superman.
I could tell you about how Busiek develops the story beautifully with a strong structure that holds up well for each chapter, but also tells a complete story when put together.
I could note just how well-measured the whole endeavor is, strong primary characters with believable personalities and motivations set against intriguing circumstances and plots.
I could point out how Busiek impressively captures a realistic approach to how someone with Superman's powers WOULD be received in today's world.
I could elaborate on the point I made about strong characters by detailing the particularly interesting job Busiek does with the Lois character in the book, how vivacious and interesting he makes her.
I could say all of these things. But for all that I might say about Busiek's story, Immonen's artwork is just so amazing in this comic that all I really need to do is show you some of it for you to want to check out this comic book.
First, from the beginning of the story, when the set-up is introduced.
And later, when Clark's powers first manifest…
Stunning, right?
For some reason that I cannot rightly fathom, Superman: Secret Identity is currently out of stock. So I guess try to buy a used copy on Amazon. Come on, DC, put this back into print!!! How would this not sell?
Out of stock? That's outrageous. This easily ranks as one of the best comics I've read, let alone one of the best Superman stories I've read. I think I was just struck by how mature and smart the story was, and how that was reflected perfectly by Immonen's art. It was a case of two top storytellers getting together to create a masterpiece. I can only hope Busiek's follow up is great too.
And some people questioned Immonen's place on the top 50 artists list…
You say this was a mini, and I assume it eventually was collected. 4 issues originally?
Ridiculous that it's out of print. This should have an Absolute Edition.
Well, I'm a big fan of Immonen, and this is clearly beautiful work, but it looks veeeerrrry photo-referenced to me. (insert obligatory "not that there's anything wrong with that"). I can't complain too much, because the expressions fit the story so nicely, so either he used models (as Alex Ross does) or he just happened to find some really apt references. There was a day when I would have anointed this as some of the greatest comic art I'd ever seen, but I've come to prefer the work of someone like Darwyn Cooke, who is stylized and clearly, wholly original.
I like to believe that this is the true story of Superboy Prime, not the mess that went down in Infinite Crisis.
Easily one of the greatest Superman stories ever.
Fantastic book. Probably the best art I've seen from Immonen (and I practically always like his work), and Buseik was on top form too.
What I love about books like this, Marvels and Astro City is that they are really Kurt Buseik just completely giving in to the comics geek that he obviously is – but somehow producing something that transcends that and becomes something completely accessible to anyone.
This and Shock Rockets shouldn't be the only things these two have done together.
And they should both be easier to find.
And, while I'm complaining, the DC Focus line should be easier to find too.
Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Busiek giving a "Bruce Wayne" a similar treatment with John Paul Leon on art or did I dream that?
And if I dreamed that could it somehow be made into reality?
And thanks for doing another Year of Cool Comics.
Or one could try e-bay where somebody's selling a tpb for $ 89.00 and a complete set of # 1-4 for $ 29.00.
Course, that's not including shipping.
[…] A Year of Cool Comics – Day 362 (goodcomics.comicbookresources.com) […]
Busiek and Immonen make such a perfect team. It is a shame that they haven't worked together more.
Enero: It's happening, and it's called Batman: Creature of the Night. JPL is apparently doing pencils, inks and colors. Busiek said it's over 200 pages of material, and he'd like to have most of it in the can before the first issue (presumably of four) goes on sale, so it'll be a while before it comes out.
Ooh, that Batman thing by JPL sounds cool.
Enero, I just saw that some of that DC Focus is coming out in TP, like this week or next even. Fraction in TP, from what I saw, and I thought something else was coming soon too.
@ Travis Pelkie: Finally got to watch the unaired episodes of Happy Town. I really wish they not only ran those episodes, but did some more just to wrap up the whole thing. That's one HELL of a cliffhanger!
I was just looking up that show on imdb yesterday, and saw a bit of the comments on it. It's been months, yeah, but I remember watching that last ep going, 5 minutes left, wrap something up, 3 minutes left, wrap something up, 1 minute left, WTF!!!!????
Yeah, some people may remember me going on about that show on the Sunday Brunch and on What I Bought a while back. I'd have to watch them again (which I may do sometime before long), but yeah, that wasn't the smartest way to end a show that you aren't sure is coming back.
Tom, where did you watch it, on abc.com, or somewhere else? I know you said that your Canadianism prevented you from watching on abc back in the summer, did you find it somewhere else? (So if I do want to watch it and for some reason it's not on abc.com)
And apologies to Brian for going off topic here. Let's go off topic about it again on the Brunch, or something. It's not like Reed's ever got any content as it is (I kid, because I love Bill Reed, and his dad Lou)
@ Travis Pelkie: Four words: Bit Torrent and BTjunkie.org — google 'em.
One of the best things (as it was not great enough already all by itself) are the final pages, where, in a kind of retrospective, Immonem emulates the Siegel & Schuster era drawing (for kid clark), the *Curt Swan drawing (for adult clark), his photorealistic drawing (for middle-aged clark) then a Bruce Timm-esque drawing (for old clark) .
We did not need Superman: Earth One. We just needed Superman: Secret Identity reprinted and marketed as a realistic take on Superman. I say this having read the series after hearing about it in this column, and it is BRILLIANT stuff. In terms of a realistic character study of Clark Kent, I don't think one could do much better than this.

My website is http://www.ecosolarnow.com. I have been running it through some speed tests and they seem to indicate that the server cannot connect to my style.css file. This appears to be the major reason for my webpage's slowness.
This confuses me because my style.css files appears to be working for me at least.
I am using a Child Theme so perhaps there is some sort of error relating to that.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!

With Sales Tax Increase Looming, Cook County Board Weighs Fee on Corporations that Pay Poverty Wages
Grassroots activists will hold a press conference and rally at 10:15 am on Wednesday, October 7 at 118 N. Clark St. 5th Floor outside Cook County Commission Chambers to unveil the Cook County Responsible Business Act. The act aims to put a stop to unfair corporate practice of paying poverty wages, leaving taxpayers to indirectly subsidize corporate profits. The act would require big corporations to pay their workers the Cook County Living Wage or pay a fee to the county to cover the cost of essential services that low wage workers need – like child care, housing and healthcare – but cannot afford when corporations choose to pay poverty wages. Cook County voters support the Responsible Business Act by a two-to-one margin.
Cook County Commissioners recently increased the sales tax, which will disproportionately impact working families. Meanwhile two-thirds of corporations in Illinois pay no corporate income tax. Many corporations also pay poverty wages that have a negative ripple effect on the entire community. In Cook County, poverty caused by low-wages alone costs the economy $1.2 billion in lost earnings, crime, and poor health, with another $200 million in cost partly due to low-wages. The Responsible Business Act would begin to address the high cost of low-wages by requiring that corporations that refuse to pay a living wage pony up their fair share to support vital programs like child care that help workers survive.
"Poverty wages aren't just bad for workers, they're bad for everyone in our communities," says Rev. Charles Straight, Pastor of Faith United Methodist Church in south-suburban Dolton. "Instead of eating in a new restaurant or supporting a local business, workers are sitting up at night wondering whether to pay the gas or the electric bill this month. Instead of being able to volunteer at their kids' school or help out in the community, they're headed to a second job. Large corporations have a responsibility to pay their workers a living wage."
"At a time when it is getting harder and harder to find good-paying jobs, adults working full-time are being forced to take low-wage jobs to support their families. It's tempting to believe that these jobs are being filled by teenagers working part-time, but the facts say different. It just isn't fair that large companies aren't paying their workers enough to meet their basic needs," said Commissioner Steele. "The Responsible Business Act is vital to ensure that companies that won't pay their workers a living wage don't force Cook County residents to pick up their tab. The Act will improve the lives of thousands of families in Cook County while leveling the playing field for small businesses and growing our economy."
The Responsible Business Act, sponsored by Commissioner Robert Steele and supported by IIRON and National People's Action, requires corporations with more than 750 employees in Cook County to pay a small fee to the county for each employee paid less than the Cook County Living Wage of $14.57 per hour. The act would reward employers who pay a living wage and compel low-wage employers to pay for the cost of the damage they're doing. When implemented, the fee will raise as much as $500 million over the next four years.
Not only is it wrong for the public to be subsidizing large corporations' profits, it's bad for the economy. Well-funded public services and decent wages are vital for a strong local economy. When workers earn more money, they spend more at local businesses, which are responsible for over 75% of new jobs since the recession and, on average, pay better wages than large corporations. Poverty wages take money out of the pockets of working taxpayers and into the offshore accounts of CEOs, with devastating effects on our communities.
IIRON is a metropolitan Chicago-based organization that trains people to understand, build, and exercise power through collective action so that powerful decision-makers act in ways that serve the interest of people and the planet, not just the interests of the wealthy and big corporations. National People's Action is a network of 29 grassroots organizations in 18 states working together to advance a racial and economic justice agenda for a new economy and true democracy.

Mendez vs Salgado Will Take Place in Guadalajara
By Miguel Rivera
A venue and location has finally been set. The clash between Juan Carlos Salgado, the former super featherweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA), and Argenis Mendez of the Dominican Republic, is going to happen at the Olympic Coliseum in Guadalajara on September 10. The vacant IBF super featherweight title will be at stake. Salgado has a record of 23 wins, 16 knockouts, one loss and one draw, while Mendez has a record of 18 wins, 9 by the knockout and one loss.
Looking forward to this. Uchiyama did well against Solgado and got him out of there. It was one of the better performances in a weak division and one in which the top guys haven't proven much. Mendez seems a decent…Comment by theplayerpimp on 08-30-2011
This is going to be an interesting affair. We shall see if salgado is more than a one hit wonder. Or if mendez is the truth.Comment by Carlos Alberto on 08-30-2011

Coach Gary Jack: "The last two games, he's rushed for over 500 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's really starting to come into his own just as a sophomore. He's getting into the hole and making things happen."

I will be living and sleeping here until every chair and dollar is funded for the school. No running water, no sewage, no lights. Just sand and wild dogs.
May the adventure begin, for all. May we all advocate and speak up for the rights of the poor and needy. May we all step up and out of our comfort zone to seek what and who we are called to be and to do. I will depart to live here tomorrow, Monday, January 27th, 2014, and will return to my apartment once the rest of the funds have been raised and the children have sponsors so they can get an education for 2014. I will not come back until then. Thank you for reaching out, advocating, and changing the world. Educate to break the vicious cycle of poverty.

New to the Forum
Hello, All. I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself since I just recently joined this forum.
I am new to knitting--in fact, I just started in February 2012. I completed my first project, a scarf for my husband, in mid-March. I have now started a new project, a cable scarf. This one is definitely more challenging than the first project, but I am happy to say that it is coming along nicely thus far...
Anyway, I am very excited to have found this forum! I know I will have questions and need tips and pointers along the way. I look forward to learning with forum friends and passing along any of my tips and knowledge that I acquire along the way!
Thank you,
Hi and welcome to KH. There is so much help here, you should be able to complete any project you want; just ask for advice and someone(s) will come to your rescue. Have fun knitting.
Welcome to Knitting Help, Cricket! :yay:
Lost On the Last knit "loop"
Being a novice @ Knitting I am "lost" on what to do with the last Loop after binding off. There is not another Knit loop to Loop over & there is (1) loop left On the Knitting needle! what to Do? I really desired to mail this to the east coast for My cousin but looks Like it will have to get there after Christmas :( Can Someone tell me, please? Thank U
In Demo of a Small Project, Amy shows how to finish your bind off. http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-tips
Hi and welcome to Knitting Help. The video that GG recommended is a good one and here's also a tutorial that shows you a couple of ways to deal with that last loop. Sounds like a lovely gift for your cousin, even if it doesn't arrive Christmas morning.
The video GG linked to has a neat trick for getting rid of the bump at the end, but if you've already bound off your last stitch, you might find it troublesome to go back and do that. But no worries, it's not a "requirement".
Congratulations! You're done! :cheering:
So welcome from a fellow Tar Heel!
Welcome, Cricket! :muah: Joining a forum is not only a great way to acquire knowledge/skills in a hurry but also a great way to get inspired. I've been knitting for a long time, but the forums are like knitting on steroids; I'm experimenting, modifying, and designing far more than when I was just knitting on my own.
Hello and welcome...Hope you are having fun with your
projects!! Keep on asking questions and get help if you
want it!

Sonny Bill Williams is facing the possibility of legal action after he called judges in the Daniel Geale-Anthony Mundine fight "corrupt'' on Twitter, according to Australian reports.
After the fight, which Mundine lost, Williams posted a photo and tweeted: "Hanging out with @Anthony-Mundine celebrating a victory. We don't pay attention to corrupt judges!!''
However, Williams later tweeted an apology for his comments.
"Sorry about the tweet last night. Emotions were running high just very disappointed for my brother and that's how I saw the fight.
"No disrespect meant to Geale he's a great champion-fighter and it was a great night.''
The judges of the IBF Middleweight World title fight held in Sydney on Wednesday night are considering a defamation case over the comments, news.com.au reported this morning.
Williams' comments went to his more than 200,000 Twitter followers.
NSW Combat Authority boss Denis Fitzgerald said he would wait for a report due next week about what had happened before deciding what action to take, the website reported.
......wonder what Mundine's 'victory party' was like, some big helpings of Humble Pie and Ice Packs all round I am guessing.Comment by BRITISH LlON on 02-01-2013
I gave Geale 11 rounds even though he didn't win the rounds big or anything. Most of the rounds were competitive but Geale edged almost all of them in my opinion.Comment by Sparked_26 on 02-01-2013

Good there are too many robberies in boxing to try and make a clearly judge fight look like one. Mundine was dominated and everyone that is not bias noes it.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (10)

Manchester United Message Board
The sleeping giant awakes!!
3-0, Fantastic! At last we give the sort of performance we've been waiting for all season. Everybody on the field today was fantastic. Johnny Evans was superb! Rio who? What a great player the lad is turning out to be. And Ryan Giggs also, what a true legend the man is. One of the best to ever kick a football in this league. Berbatov had his best game in a United shirt today too, took his goal well. Every player worked their backsides off today, and fully deserved the victory.
Chelsea were totally outplayed. And it could so easily have been more. Carvalho was lucky not to concede a penalty in the first half, and Ronaldo wrongfully ruled offside when put through to score by Berbatov. I hope Rafa Benitez was at home watching this like he said he would, i'm sure he enjoyed it! I wonder who's getting nervous now?
Its important that we keep this going though. We've teetered along in second gear all season so far, and we're still right in there. A good strong performance against Wigan now is a must, to make the most of the advantage we've taken from today.
After such a slow start, could this actually end up being one of our greatest ever seasons?
There's a lot to do, but very possible if we continue like this.
What a great day this has been for us, come on United!!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A very good day indeed. I know this may be a unpopular choice but, Park to me was the best player of the day with Giggs very closely behind.
Giggs did so much at the back and then he had those runs through the middle which I really think Chelsea were prepared for the skill and brain of a player like that in midfield.
Park just was everywhere and played really well and it was only CryBaby Terry that stopped him from scoring.
Evans - solid game but, he is young and there will be inconsistencies but, when it counted he showed up.
Vidic purely best center back in the world, even over Rio I am sorry.
Ronaldo - he actually looked more like last year, the shot towards the end on Joe Coles bad pass, all year he's been messing those up but, today was a lot better.
Rooney - he was pissed off because he got elbowed and then a foul was called on him - yeah he shouldn't be doing that to the ref - we need him.
We cannot slack off for Wigan, this is a big emotional win for us and 3 points of Wigan are the same as 3 points today, so we can't afford the draw.
Come on United.

I'm deliriously happy at that result. I suppose Berbie did look like an idle get for large periods, I'd be interested in the account of an eye witness on that, But who wouldn't with wonder-scouse shooting round the pitch like some kind of superhero out of the X-Men, or that kid out of the Incredibles.
Any team on the planet with him and Vidic in right now could thump anyone.
All the same, Berbie did play a part in all the goals, and continues to show touches of sheer genius.
The best bit of the TV coverage was having those three scousers trying to raise a grin in the post match crap. I have to confess in this moment of weakness to really liking carrager, I think he's been a great player, and I thought he handled it pretty well. considering his end-of-career title aspirations had just caved in.
I guess there will be twists and turns to come, Wigan and Bolton look a lot harder now they are in the foreground for some reason, and there's the Rio situation, and I do hope Evra isn't badly hurt.
But if we do the business this week, as they say where Butch comes from, "that's just gotta hurt".
A Yahoo! User Jan 12, 2009 03:16 Flag
I think they were all brilliant today. I must confess to being a little surprised at the beginning with Fletcher and Giggs in the middle. I was much, much less surprised by the end .
Steve top post - you said it all! Its amazing how one sided that match was considering what's at stake. We did totally outplay them in every position for the majority of the match. Whatever Fergie and the coaching staff have been doing for the last few days has paid off handsomely. The lads played their hearts out. Now I hope we can capitalise on this and go on a run of high scoring matches.
What could be another important thing to point out from this is the dent that this has in what was a far superior goal difference of Chelsea's.
They now only have a 6 goal advantage over us having played 2 games more. With this season shaping up to be as tight as it is looking so far, it could be a very key factor

A very good summary Steve & a very valid point here missed by most so far.
Brilliant, and now, if we win our game in hand, we go top! Thanks, Rafa, your little whine was just what we needed to gee our lads up (and make yours slip up).
We dominated Chelsea embarassingly - made them look like a mid-table side. That's the best I've seen us play for ages.
A Yahoo! User Jan 12, 2009 01:58 Flag
As I said in mu thread don't get too carried away with this game. Basically, the real Chelsea did not turn up. You wont have an easy game like this all season.
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
Yeah, but that was bollo*ks in your thread, and it's bollo*ks here. We were so good we made them look ordinary, there's a difference. Still, I can understand why you're scared to see United playing like the World Champions we are ;-)

Kratom to be banned? Update...
So the British Parliament is currently mulling over the Psychoactive Substances Bill, which we reckon will probably become law in 2016. Its effect will be to ban all substances that are held to have a psychoactive effect, other than those on a (rather short) list of exceptions.
The reason for taking this approach is lawmakers' frustration at the cat-and-mouse game that the powers that be have had with "legal highs" chemists, whereby every time one substance is banned someone comes up with another substance whose chemical composition is only slightly different. This way the new product will escape the ban whilst having a very similar effect on the user. Following the panic over mephedrone a few years ago, and tabloid hysteria ever since, the UK government has been determined to find a way of banning all "legal highs" - even those yet to be invented - without having to name them all.
There's no doubt that a lot of these products are seriously nasty. Some "bath salts", "plant food", synthetic cannabinoids, etc, are causing a lot of anguish and the desire to ban them is understandable. So the government wants to throw such a big net over these substances that this time they'll catch them all.
Unfortunately there is no distinction drawn between a white powder created by a dodgy Chinese backstreet chemist and a naturally-occurring herbal remedy that has been well-known in parts of the world for thousands of years with minimal ill effects known. This is the danger that kratom faces: mitragyna speciosa could be like the dolphin caught in the net as it trawled for tuna.
SO: kratom fans in Britain and elsewhere, we need your help! This is what we can do:
First, please sign the petition to keep kratom legal and add a brief entry in the testimonies column if you can.
Second, we have lawyers working to establish that kratom fits the criteria of "traditional herbal medicinal products" as defined in the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, and will thus be included in the list of exceptions. Does anyone have any evidence to support the contention that kratom fits all the criteria? In particular, we need to show that kratom has been sold and used in the European Union for at least fifteen years. We would love to see some references to kratom use within the EU going back to the year 2000 - can anyone help? There's a "contact us" form at the bottom of this page, and all information received will be passed on to the right people who can help defend our use of our beloved kratom.
Thanks everyone :)
Kratom Images
We have had a few requests from our blog readers for photographs of kratom, not as a finished product (as available on vendors' websites) but as plants, in their natural habitat. Natural Chemistry have provided us with a few pictures of trees from which they have harvested their product, to get us started. Anyone else got any kratom pictures they would like to share? Click on a thumbnail to open the gallery.
How Much Kratom To Take?
We've been asked several times lately how much kratom is the "right amount" to take. Of course there's no easy answer to this, as everyone is different, but here are some thoughts:
Regular kratom users often find that they build a tolerance, so that after a while they need to take more than they did when they were new to the herb. Therefore, those who have not taken kratom before, or who stick to very occasional use, are likely to find that a smaller amount does the trick. Additionally, kratom has a cross-tolerance effect with opioids, so if you have a history of taking strong opioids (as painkillers, for example, or recreationally) that might well increase your required dosage amount.
So we're going to concentrate here on those who do not have an exceptional tolerance, but do enjoy kratom regularly or even daily. Keep this in mind if it's your first time, because if you don't get any effects you can always dip into the packet a second time - whereas if you feel that you had too much, you can't take it away.
About a quarter of a teaspoon of good quality powder (perhaps 2g) is the smallest amount that you are likely to notice. We'd recommend you start there, but it is more likely you will find your kratom "sweet spot" somewhere between rather higher than that. If you have access to sufficiently accurate scales, it is well worth weighing your dose at least once rather than relying on a spoon, so that you can get an accurate idea of how much you are consuming.
An expression often heard amongst kratom aficionados is "less is more", meaning that you may well be surprised to find that a couple of grams is just as powerful - or maybe even more powerful - in terms of effect as a much larger dose of, say, eight grams. Certainly kratom is not a herb whose effects necessarily increase proportionately to the dose, and it does have a well-documented "ceiling". Should you steadily increase your dose, at some point you will almost certainly find that the kratom you take has almost no effect other than perhaps to make you feel slightly queasy - for many people this will happen around 10 grams. It is partly this feature that makes kratom so safe, because it is impossible to abuse a substance that refuses to reward those who do.
So if you're looking for ideas on how much kratom to take, remember to keep your quantities small. You can always increase later, but bear in mind that you probably won't want to increase all that much, and even amongst longterm daily users, most keep to single figures in terms of grams per sitting. A quick informal poll amongst ourselves (we're all longterm, very regular or daily users) revealed that we all have a sweet spot between four and six grams.
Best Kratom Blends
Since we added the table (further up the page) discussing the effects of different strains of kratom, we've had a few emails suggesting that we talk about what happens when you blend different kratom types together. It seems that although a lot of people who are new to kratom take one strain at a time (indeed may well only keep one strain in the house), by the time people become real kratom connoisseurs, more than likely they're mixing their kratom together a bit.
Now let's see... a bit of Thai for the energy, and a bit of Green Malay to help bring out kratom's mood-lifting qualities... and then just a sprinkle of Red Vein Sumatra, to make the whole experience last a bit longer.
(for example).
So if you've got your own preferred blends, or any hints and tips about what kratom strains should go into the mix, let us know and we'll be sure to include your ideas. Thanks!
Keep kratom legal!
Way back before I had ever heard of kratom, I found myself surfing Youtube for information about a psychedelic plant I'd heard of called salvia divinorum. Great things were being said about salvia, and I wanted to find out what the effects were.
When I entered salvia divinorum as a search term on Youtube, I found myself surfing through video after video of moronic teenagers laughing at their mates who were taking a hit on a bong full of salvia and then tripping in what looked to be a very uncomfortable way. It may be that salvia has many great qualities, but those videos made its users look moronic at best, and downright bloody dangerous at worst. I decided to give it a miss.
The next thing I heard about salvia divinorum was in the news. Lawmakers across the world were expressing their shock that this plant was legal, and in the process of getting it banned. When they were speaking about why it should be banned, those ridiculous and irresponsible Youtube videos kept cropping up in conversation.
So how does this relate to kratom? Well, the risk is that the same thing could happen again, but this time it's lovers of kratom who are potentially in the firing line.
One problem is irresponsible vendors who are desperate to sell their product by making it out to be a life-changing product. This unfortunately sometimes seems to involve exaggerating its effects, and making it out to be something to get high or stoned on. What rubbish! Kratom is a wonderful herb; it can pep you up, it can relax you, it can work wonders against chronic pain and it can help you detox from hard drugs. Amongst us, we have experience of all those things. Kratom is a very special product - so why make it out to be something it's not?
Even worse are the owners of American "detox clinics" who are touting for business by trying to portray kratom use as something which necessitates the use of their (very expensive) services. These people are nothing but sharks.
Kratom must not be portrayed as some kind of powerful drug. It must be marketed responsibly and never to minors. Let's spread the word about this benign herb and keep kratom legal.
How to take kratom
A lot of first-time kratom users have trouble finding information on how to use kratom. This is because kratom isn't approved for human consumption - not that there's any evidence that it's harmful in any way (quite the reverse) - but it does mean that kratom vendors can't give explicit instructions on how to take kratom. The problem is made worse by people who discuss their kratom use on the internet and use deliberately misleading terms to describe their kratom ingestion in order to conceal the fact that human consumption is exactly what is happening to their kratom!
There are three main ways to take kratom. One is to make it into a tea. Basically, you'll need to take your kratom (about 10g, say), and boil it up with water until it has infused really well. The resulting mixture is pretty gross, but a spoonful of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice help somewhat.
Then there's the method known as "toss and wash". It involves putting your kratom on a teaspoon and carefully placing it on your tongue. A big glug of drink and voila! It's gone.
Actually, it's not that easy: get your technique slightly wrong, and you'll have kratom powder everywhere - tickling your throat, up your nose and - if that all results in a massive sneeze - all over the place! Nevertheless, a lot of seasoned kratom aficionados will tell you that toss and wash is their preferred method of taking kratom, and that it becomes easier with practice.
So I'm going to give you the benefit of all our disasters, and pass on the method which works best for all of us: yogurt. Take a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt, mix your kratom with enough of it to make a vaguely palatable paste, and scoff it. Job done!

We certainly should do it - anything which promotes us in such a way is good. I do though think the scope of the publication needs altering. While it is good that the proposal is to try and bring Windows users over from the dark side, we should be looking at those in power at companies, we should be looking at the education markets (hell, the OLPC is probably one of the finest examples of both green technology and how OSS is being used to teach and help in the developing countries).

Another open question is the process of > determining what that content will be. (So in short, Spot's right; it's > not clear.) That's down to the editorial staff. The process I used to take was this 1. Get all the articles together. By submitting the article, it meant that they agreed with the terms of publication. 2. Proof read and send back to author with helpful suggestions (some did include lines such as "in it's current state, it would not be suitable for publication") 3. If there was enough to publish, the weaker articles would be quietly dropped or edited them down - effectively making them space fillers 4. If an article was close to the knuckle (legally), it would have to be checked by the legal people. This usually meant that it would be delayed until the next issue 5. Final edit and send to the production editor 6. Production editor makes the mock up and emails it to the team who then proof it again to ensure accuracy and content validity. Now, for us if it's not supplied by LPM, the editor (or another member of the editorial staff) will need to check that if it's a walk through that the walk through is correct. If it is supplied by LPM, then I'd assume it's correct, but still check (IIRC, Linux Format in the UK did a series using the GIMP and while it was fantastic, there was one that never worked irrespective of the version of GIMP used. I never did find out why as my subscription lapsed [lost job, subscription went to save money, old story...]) TTFN PFJ (getting excited!) -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!

My name is Jo and I go by the nickname jojoebi, that is jo-jo-ebi (eh-bee).
I have an educational background in Electronic Imaging and Media Communications but after graduating I decided to pack my bags and travel the world. Which I did, teaching English to pay my way.
After a two year stint in the wilderness of Northern Japan, a local boy stole my heart, and I was unable to leave the country without it so we settled down together in Saitama (just outside of Tokyo). A few years later, after a slightly crazy wedding ceremony at Angkor Wat (which involved 5 priests, 9 nuns, Khmer dancers and an elephant ride up a mountain) baby Ebi appeared (now known as Ebi-kun) and after hearing myself saying "I go to shopping" and other grammatically incorrect English sentences I decided it was time to give up the teaching game and return to my passion of designing.
When Ebi-kun was still a baby I became interested in the Montessori system of education and so many of the items I design and make are influenced by Montessori, along with my passion for travel and all things kawaii that make Japan such a wonderful place to live.
Make your little explorer this adorable dinosaur back pack.
Features two side pockets and loop to attach important things suck as fossil picks and compasses. Large zipper compartment big enough to fit in a couple of books, a catapult, small toys and other important things that a 4 year old might need.
The paw straps also have name/phone number tags underneath them, hidden from public view but handy in case your child gets lost.
I have faith that you will respect the long hours and creativity that has gone into producing jojoebi design patterns and kits
