Leave the Church of Nice
Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. Im Michael Voris.
Here is an appeal to any Catholic in the Church of Nice, or anyone who has a friend or relative in the Church Nice, please leave it now.
What is the Church of Nice? It's a worship community that sort of looks Catholic and OFFICIALLY is Catholic but at the end of the day, authentic Catholicism has been sucked out of it in almost every possible way.
There are all kinds of signs you can look for to determine if your parish is a Church of Nice.
The priest will never preach on anything controversial related to your eternal life, like homosexuality, abortion, reception of Holy Communion as a divorced and remarried parishioner.
He will never utter a word about the immortal danger your soul is in if you are co-habiting and or having sex outside of marriage or using contraception INSIDE marriage.
Times for Confession will be sparse and practically none of the parishioners ever go including you.
If you have been going to your Church of Nice parish for some years, you will occasionally have the thought come to your mind that it seems like less and less people attend.
You will also notice that there are nowhere near as many young adults or families as you remember from years ago. But the music director will bust out in a loud song rich with lyrics about the community, instead of God, and you will forget your thoughts about less people in the pews.
You will also hear a strange thing from time to time about something the RCIA instructor or Religious Ed director said in class and you will think to yourself for a moment hmmm .. thats odd, but then you will go on with your business and forget about it.
Then the occasional discussion will come up with friends and family who are former Catholics who bad mouth this or that about the Church and while you might feel quietly uncomfortable about their outbursts, you wont say anything because, frankly, you dont have the knowledge to respond to them because it was never told to you.
And eventually, you will allow yourself to be lulled into a false set of comfort regarding their eternal lives by buying into the ridiculous diabolical canard that its not REALLY important if they are Catholic or not after all, theyre basically good people and God understands and we are all going to Heaven anyway so not that big a deal.
If you go to a parish replete with altar girls, protestant hymns, an army of so-called Eucharistic ministers (which they are NOT by the way), a joke-cracking priest, a congregation receiving Holy Communion in their hands, warped catechesis coming from the adult and/or kids religious ed department, no substantive preaching, a congregation with more older people than younger families and no one really in between, where people around you, including you dress in clothes more suited for going to the movies than worshipping God, if almost the entire congregation goes to Holy Communion, and a good number of them never return to their seats afterwards, if it is customary to applaud the band or singers then you can be pretty certain, your parish is a Church of Nice.
If you have no idea why this list of issues are problematic, then you are almost guaranteed to belong to the Church of Nice.
If you dont know the answers to the following basic questions, you should be concerned:
Yes, but doing all these novena stuff isn't for everyone. I have ambivalent feelings about this topic. Sure its great if we can all follow the rules, but that's not easy. I'm not saying Catholic churches should perform gay marriages, but expecting all parishioners to act like saints would be nice, but not realistic.
For those for whom the message has been sent, might this be noted as a form of a 'pre-housecleaning' prophecy?
"Church of Nice" is not limited to Catholic parishes. There are plenty of Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues that are more about social issues than about God.
I sympathize with your view. I attend both a Novus Ordo and a Tridentine Mass (work permitting—it's farther away) and while we are all called to be saints it doesn't make it easier when the homily from the pulpit is full of mamby-pamby, wishy-washy new age language, not to mention it totally obscures the purpose of the Mass. It's bad enough a priest won't mention these things to begin with. But to try to cover for it with a syrupy sermon that has no theological backbone to it is an affront to all good Christian people.
You raise some valid points, but let's say there's someone like me, who's politically conservative but not saint-like. So I might not pay much attention to a priest who appears wishy-washy but Im happy he's charming. However, I might be hesitant to return to a parish where a priest gives a sermon on how some of my behavior should stop immediately and if not, don't come back to his parish. Sure, it's good to pray and believe in God, but let's be honest how many can really be saints? Probably not many, even if everyone tried to be one.
In the Religion forum, on a thread titled Leave the Church of Nice, Dr. Sivana wrote:
What does this guy have against France? Accompanied by the pix of the Cathederal of Nice France
That's pronounced Neece not Nyce spelled Nice.
"Yes, but doing all these novena stuff isnt for everyone. I have ambivalent feelings about this topic. Sure its great if we can all follow the rules, but thats not easy. Im not saying Catholic churches should perform gay marriages, but expecting all parishioners to act like saints would be nice, but not realistic."
I am by no means a saint, but since attending a Tridentine Mass every Sunday starting just before Holy Week 2012, I can tell you that I have gotten closer to that goal.
Being Catholic should be difficult, and cleaving to the Church's teachings is a constant struggle. But by setting the bar high, the Church raises our level of behavior.
We have a line of 10-20 adults and kids for confession before Mass every Sunday; the rest of the congregation prays the Rosary before Mass. Frequent confession and Marian devotions are a strong source of grace to make us better Catholics.
Great term "Church of Nice". But if you live in a rural area you take what you can get.
Michael Voris has some video on his ChurchMilitant.tv free site The Vortex where he calls it the American Patriotic Church in comparing it to the Catholic Church in China. Very good also.
After ten minutes, I walked out of the service.
I second the motion. I'm a premium subscriber to ChurchMilitant.TV. For $10/month it's the best catechesis you'll get IMO. I know some Catholics are put off by his seemingly gruff exterior when watching his Vortex videos but his teaching videos are excellent. Whether you're a novice apologist like myself or pratically a doctor of the Church. It's all good (Endorsement Mode Off) :-)
Agree with a lot of this but just don't see the value in suit/tie white glove and bonnet dress up for a real catholic mass. For most of the church's existence folks came in from the fields when the bells rang in their robes or only clothes they had. No swim suits please but penguin outfits at church are a weird american idea. I like st. Francis' view more than this guy.
I think we get both. I'm reminded of those WWII and Vietnam movies where we see the priest saying Mass on the hood of a Jeep. I'm sure it happened. What I think it means is that: when we can, we should.
I recommend Le Safari, about 1/4 mile south of there on the Cours Saleya. Nice restaurant and outdoor cafe.
Exactly! We're not asking for the moon and the stars here. Last thing I need is to attempt to be in communion with God in the Holy Eucharist and be distracted by some hottie dressed inappropriately a few pews over.
The only thing I disagree with on the poster is the T Shirt for men. I have seen some guys wearing Megadeath, Black Sabbath, and other such demonic pictures and words that where completely unacceptable. In fact, it would have been better for them to attend Mass shirtless, than to bring such messages and visuals before the Body and Blood of our Savior!
My 89 year old aunt says that back in the day there were only Catholics: not liberal Catholics or conservative Catholics but just Catholics. The cafeteria style came into vogue in the 1960's.
Being a Protestant (Pentecostal), I of course disagree with his "heresy" remark, but the rest of the article is spot on.
In all the world we see the liberal (Church of nice) churches dying. Why practice a faith that is no faith at all? If Christianity is merely being nice but then going and fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, and enabling others to do so, then why bother with it. I can be nice and have sex without going to church or reading the bible.
Real churches, and real faith, demand something of us. There is a cost to count and a price to pay. But we are far better off paying that price. We are happier, healthier, live longer more fulfilled lives and get to go to heaven when we die. Any way you count it, it's really quite a bargain.
This is also why islam is growing in many parts of the world. It demands a certain discipline from it's adherents. A discipline that is lacking in much of the Christian world (Europe for example) and that people are desperately hungry for.
Every child longs for discipline (boundaries) from his parents. When that discipline does not exist he will act out until the parents respond and enforce discipline. We never lose this need for boundaries. Being totally unrestrained is a very scary feeling. If no one will restrain our actions then no one really cares about us.
And so we long for the discipline that true faith brings into our lives. But the liberals have taken over much of the church (Episcopalians for example) and now preach that faggotry is OK even if God says it's not (again as an example).
When our churches get back to real faith, they grow.
We are all called to be saints. Nobody gets less help from the Holy Spirit than he needs to become one. That doesn't mean we all succeed, but we should all be trying.
Surely one wants to draw closer and closer to the Lord? The alternative—just doing the minimum, continuing in what we know to be habitual sin, and letting ourselves off the moral hook for it by saying, "Oh, well, we can't all be saints"—results in growing estrangement from God. What a terrifying prospect that is!
God forbid that some Catholic church might sing a PROTESTANT hymn, whatever that is.
The horror of it all. It's a sure sign a Catholics church has hit rock bottom. /s
I was thinking the same thing.
ROTFLOL! Appreciate the laugh Alex.
People shouldn't have to be told how to dress appropriately for church or out in public, but sadly, I've seen too many women dress like hookers for church.
"If you go to a parish replete with altar girls, protestant hymns,
God forbid that some Catholic church might sing a PROTESTANT hymn, whatever that is.
The horror of it all. It's a sure sign a Catholics church has hit rock bottom. /s"
The Catholic Church has a 1500-year tradition of liturgical music BEFORE the Reformation, and another 500 years of Catholic liturgical music since.
While many hymns written by and for non-Catholic christians are quite beautiful and sacred, they are even now not sanctioned for use during Mass in most Catholic dioceses, and were definitely not allowed prior to Vatican II.
It may not make sense to you, but we have our rules.
Are you distracted by her being a "hottie", or by how she dressed?
"Joe, why do you keep going back into the Confessional? Mass started twenty minutes ago!"
A lot of pastors might get this in their email today!
Remember that we have a new Archbishop out here in Oregon who has a lot of control over OCP.
I'm looking for many of those protesting hymns to turn to Gregorian chant.
"Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. Im Michael Voris."
Well, that's wonderful but your spiel is clap-trap.
That's how they lose their tax-exempt status.
That is never done in the Catholic Church as far as I know.
Issues are addressed, but never individual candidates.
Agree with a lot of this but just dont see the value in suit/tie white glove and bonnet dress up for a real catholic mass. For most of the churchs existence folks came in from the fields when the bells rang in their robes or only clothes they had. No swim suits please but penguin outfits at church are a weird american idea. I like st. Francis view more than this guy.While I would imagine Michael Voris looks very nice when going to Mass himself, I didn't get the idea he felt parishioners should dress suit/tie white glove, however, the more one attends respectful Masses, the more IMO they want to dress the same [respectfully]. And your comment about people coming in from the fields reminds me of our wedding.
Truthfully, I wonder if many of them know any other way. Consider the use of pantyhose or stockings--their use is not "red carpet." That is, the Hollywood starlets don't wear hose. Unfortunately, that's where many women get their fashion sense.
Im looking for many of those protesting hymns to turn to Gregorian chant.Yea to that!! Although my hearing is all screwed up, I can still appreciate and ♥ Gregorian Chant! With other music, I oftentimes will turn off my hearing aid as it comes through just as noise (unless it's a familiar tune).
When our churches get back to real faith, they grow.I agree, and whenever I see your commentary, I think of our son who is a John O too, or rather, 'Toole... :)
It's been done before, if PBS is correct:
1841 was an election year in the state of New York. Five days before the election, at a Catholic rally at Carroll Hall, [then-bishop John Joseph Hughes] presented his parishioners with a list of the candidates he favored for council and urged them to vote for them....
....The Constitution gave Hughes the right to advise his parishioners how to vote, but the Protestant establishment was outraged at what they saw as priestly meddling in politics. Leading the attack, James Gordon Bennett, editor of The New York Herald....
....Hughes's politicking paid off. All but three of the candidates he had supported were elected. In April 1842, the state passed the Maclay bill. By a majority of just one, New York's Senate voted to end religious instruction in New York's public schools...It was a decision that New York's Protestant majority found hard to stomach. Four days later, on April 12th, riots broke out. Bricks were thrown through the windows of Hughes's house and doors were kicked in before the police arrived....By demanding religious liberty for Catholic immigrants, John Hughes had expanded the idea of what it meant to be an American.
-- excerpts from Hour Two of the PBS broadcast God In America
Exhibit 1: The Episcopal Church
And forbidding sleeveless dresses means that the First Lady of the Toned Arms wouldn't be able to visit.... oh, wait...
Were you thinking that that would be a bad thing?
And sometimes those "protestant" hymns teach heretical notions.
**And sometimes those protestant hymns teach heretical notions.**
I won't sing them if I know they are not doctrinal. And it saddens me, for one is sung at many funerals.
I imagine Rock of Ages or On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand might give some Catholics pause, but The Old Rugged Cross or Amazing Grace? What's "heretical" about those?
This guy is loony...

Agree, but I'd say more like the first sock in a new pair I'd prefer to use. I love the concept and even implementation so far compared to twitter and facebook. Just a few obvious features missing and not a critical mass of friends/family yet. It'll get there. In the meantime it takes a lot if mental effort to come up with non-duplicate content for thee limited audience

I had been seeing this doctor several times. While she has relatively good bed-side manner I always felt that she wanted to get me out at the end of each appointment. I understand that she has a lot of patients so she may not remember what we had discussed in our last appointment but in my own job I work with several hundred clients at my workplace and I make an effort to remember our conversations. Maybe I just have a better memory. In any case, after struggling with a complicated pregnancy, this doctor never even once congratulated me or asked how I am doing, after several emails and phone calls. Her staff were the ones would call me even though I have not met her staff in person. I appreciated her staff a lot but am disappointed because she was the one I had been seeing. I am more than ready to find another doctor.
I went to Dr. O'Callahan regarding two issues and then never went back: (1) I wanted to have a child but was concerned about the strong possibility that I might be a carrier of the cystic fibrosis gene and (2) one of my ovaries hurt a LOT every time I ovulated. Dr. O was very friendly and outgoing, which I appreciated, but she really missed the mark on my two issues. When I voiced my concerns about the CF gene, she gave me a lot of Happy Talk about how kids with cystic fibrosis can lead long, happy lives nowadays. When I told her that two of my family members had died of CF at a young age, she finally stopped her Happy Talk. Very disconcerting. The other issue was my painful ovary. Dr. O's answer was that I needed to exercise more. So, I had to go get another opinion. The second doctor did an ultrasound and found that I had a big hemorrhaging cyst on my ovary.
Maybe I am expecting too much from my healthcare providers, but I really don't think so. I had an early miscarriage and was disappointed in the follow-up care provided. Well, the problem is that there wasn't any. Dr. O was wonderful about sitting with me to answer any questions I have. She has an amazing bedside manner. The unfortuate part is that the only information given to me was in answer to questions I asked. While I appreciate this, I would've liked to have had more pre-prepared support. For example, a brochure on miscarriage would have been nice. A referral to a local support group, books I should read, anything. All of this was overlooked, which I found rather disappointing. Lastly, after my hCG finally went back to zero, nobody from the office called me to check in on me. I would hope there would be some kind of follow-up with a patient who'd suffered a devastating loss like this. I understand that everyone is busy, but I find this to be a basic expectation of your caregiver.

Detailed KC Star article about John Dorsey
New Chiefs GM Dorsey has prepared for this task
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
In the final days before each NFL draft, longtime Green Bay Packers chairman Bob Harlan would make it a point to sit in the draft room and listen to the discussions.
The one voice he wanted to hear was John Dorsey's.
Dorsey, who will be introduced today as the Chiefs' new general manager, spent 21 years in the Packers organization as a scout and later director of college scouting under highly regarded general managers Ron Wolf and Ted Thompson. His opinion went a long way in determining the club's draft choices that produced three Super Bowl teams and two world champions.
"I noticed under both Ron and Ted, John speaks out, he's well prepared," Harlan, now the club's chairman emeritus after retiring in 2007. "They listened to him. He will say this guy is a prospect, or he's not. He's not afraid to put somebody down if other people are praising him and he doesn't like him. He'll say why doesn't like him.
"He's just as quick to tell everybody about the talents a player has and how he thinks he'll fit in with Green Bay. He's patterned himself to build a football team the way they built the Green Bay Packers. He'll build through the draft. He'll be very cautious on his free agency ...but he knows talent."
Dorsey has another characteristic that will be just as important in Kansas City. Though requests to speak to Dorsey were declined by the Chiefs, he's regarded as a people person, unlike the man he is replacing in Kansas City, the unapproachable Scott *****.
"One of the things that's going to be very appealing in Kansas City is John's personality," said Harlan. "He's very down to earth. The fans will take to him in a hurry. He's great in the office, he's great in the locker room.
"His enthusiasm will rub off on everybody. … There's no arrogance, there's no ego … I think he's perfect for a franchise like Kansas City, and I think Kansas City needs some of that right now."
Dorsey has turned down opportunities to leave Green Bay in the past _ other than spending 1999 with Thompson and coach Mike Holmgren in Seattle _ and has been a Packer since his playing days as a linebacker during 1984-89.
But Dorsey, 52, worked with new Chiefs coach Andy Reid when Reid was a Packers assistant during 1992-98, and couldn't pass up this chance.
"He's a very capable guy who deserved this," Harlan said. "He called me a couple of weeks ago when this process started, and I told him it's a great place to go. It's a great franchise, a wonderful fan base, and he and Andy are so close, they'll work extremely well together. I think it's a natural fit."
And, Dorsey's wife, Patricia is a graduate of Kansas with a law degree from Washburn University and practiced law in Kansas City before moving to Green Bay. She still works from home for the Kansas City-based law firm, Polsinelli-Shugart.
"They've got a wonderful family," Harlan said, "and are huge KU basketball fans, I can tell you that."
While a two-time Yankee Conference Defensive Player of the Year and Division I-AA all-America linebacker at the University of Connecticut in 1983, Dorsey envisioned a career as a trader on Wall Street before he was taken in the fourth-round of the 1984 draft by the Packers.
Dorsey was an overachieving, special teams captain for the Packers, leading the club in special teams tackles three times and playing in 76 consecutive games before suffering a freak knee injury in pregame warmups before the 1989 season opener.
"I guess you could call him a robust player," Harlan said. "He was a hard-charger. I don't know that he had the greatest talent the world, but he worked extremely hard, played extremely hard. He was on some bad Packers teams in the '80s. We were not a good football team. It was not an easy team to play for. "
Once his career was over, instead of making investments in the stock market, Dorsey began sizing up NFL futures by going into scouting for the Packers.
"After my playing days, I wanted to stay involved with football," Dorsey told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel a few years ago. "I could have gone the coaching route, but there is something about scouting and the college game, the college environment that is unique and enjoyable to me. It's fun."
Dorsey spent 1991-97 as a college scout, then 1997-98 as the Packers director of college scouting; a year at Seattl e as director of player personnel; followed by stints as director of college scouting for the Packers during 2000-11 before his promotion as director of football operations in 2012.
Dorsey first approached then-general manager Tom Braatz in the fall of 1989 about a scouting position.
"I went to Tom Braatz and said, 'I notice your scouts are 55-60 years old … it's time for some new blood,''' Dorsey said. "He really tried to discourage me from getting into it. He said to come back in May after the draft and that we would talk some more if I was still interested."
Dorsey returned and the job unsung job of scouting players on college campuses and evaluating them on film was his. For the next 22 years.
"He's got a great relationship with the college coaches around the country," Harlan said. "People like to see John Dorsey arrive on their campus."
Dorsey applied the same work ethic to scouting and evaluating talent as he did as a player.
"I always say if you're not out there working, someone else is," Dorsey said. "You have to put in the time to find the players. You have to personally visit the schools and build relationships."
When Wolf was hired as the new general manager in 1991, Dorsey wondered about his future. He got the answer while on a scouting trip.
"I was at Rutgers scouting," Dorsey told the Milwaukee paper, "and I got a call from Ron saying, 'Can you fly back here and show me how to work this computer?'"
Dorsey credits his principles of drafting and building a team to what he learned from Wolf and Thompson, including the philosophy of acquiring value in the draft. Dorsey has said the Packers have always been committed to drafting the best available player.
"Best player available. We live it," Dorsey told the Packers' web site before the 2011 draft. "Our job is to find the best player we can possibly find to improve our roster. If we can make our roster as competitive as we possibly can, that's all you can do. We've always been taught to stay true to the board, whatever you do, and we stay true to the board."
That's what happened in 2005 when quarterback Aaron Rodgers slid to the 25th spot because so many teams drafting ahead of the Packers in the first round did not see the position as one of need, including the Chiefs ,who took linebacker Derrick Johnson with the 15th pick. At the time, Packers legend and future Hall of Famer Brett Favre was coming off his 13th season, but Green Bay kept to their board and drafted Rodgers.
Rodgers understudied Favre for three years before taking over in 2008 and led the Packers to a Super Bowl title following the 2010 season and was league MVP in 2011.
Aside from a player's height, weight, speed and strength, Dorsey said he looks at five intangibles in a player.
"One, are they a good guy? Two, do they work at their craft? Three, do they love football? Four, are they going to be good in the locker room? And five, would you like to have them as your neighbor?" Dorsey said.
Dorsey also told the Journal-Sentinel that he strongly considers things such as societal factors in figuring out a player.
"Alcoholism, bipolar depression, learning disabilities, ADHD. Each one of those specific types of disabilities will carry over to a person," Dorsey said. "I'm sure there's a certain percentage of players that have varying degrees of these types of things. We've probably found one of the best tests in terms of helping us not to specifically label somebody but at least to throw up a flag to do deeper study in case it does come up.
"We turn rocks over. But tests alone are not the sole determining factor of a person, now, because I can sit down with a person for 10 minutes and kind of walk away and tell you exactly what he's all about."
All of those factors will be taken into consideration for the Chiefs, who have the first overall pick in the 2013 draft.
"You have the No. 1 draft choice," Harlan said of the Chiefs. "They can make some hay this year with what they've got. I don't think John feels they're far way. You've got some Pro Bowlers … there's some talent there. You're picking up a head coach and personnel man with a lot of experience. That team isn't very far away. I didn't think we were in 1991 when I hired Ron Wolf.
"John's the same age Ron Wolf was when I hired Ron in 1991 … it seems to me it's a great time for someone to come in and take over a ball club. "
In fact, Harlan points out, in the two decades of the 1970s and 1980s, before Wolf was hired, the Packers had four winning teams and made two playoff appearances. In the last 21 years, under Wolf and Thompson as general manager, the Packers have had 17 winning seasons, made 15 playoff appearances and won two Super Bowls.
"Those," Harlan said, "are the gentlemen (Dorsey) has learned under."

It's advantage, Green Bay
At least three National Football League analysts did not consider the Green Bay Packers blowout victory against the Arizona Cardinals an exercise in meaninglessness.
Game analyst Tim Ryan and studio analysts Howie Long and Jimmy Johnson of Fox Sports saw the Packers' victory as a psychological edge for Green Bay going into the playoff game between the same teams at the same place next weekend.
Ryan, who was calling the game with Sam Rosen, didn't wait until the end to declare that the Packers had won an advantage. At the time, Green Bay was up, 19-0, in the second quarter.
"I will say this, advantage to the Green Bay Packers, not just on the scoreboard," Ryan said. "They are really dominating the Arizona Cardinals in all phases of the game right now: offense, defense, special teams. I'm telling you, if this game ends and Green Bay wins it, to me it's huge in terms of the benefit in their psyche. They will have won seven of the last eight versus Arizona, which will have finished the season 3-3."
The Packers powered their way to a 26-0 lead at halftime.
"I just can't see taking anything good away from this football game," Long said, referring to Arizona. "You are going to see this team again next week.
"I understand you are going to be somewhat vanilla. You are going to have them traveling back there. But Green Bay is putting it on them right now. Psychologically, how do you bounce back from that, even if you are vanilla across the board?"
Ryan put it another way later in the game.
"There is a big swagger going for this Green Bay football team," Ryan said.
Johnson said after the game that the Packers have as much momentum as any team going into the playoffs.
"The Packers played well against Arizona today," Johnson said. "Aaron Rodgers is playing with tremendous confidence. They are hitting on all cylinders.
"They are running the ball the second half of the season so much better than what they did the first half. They are playing solid defense. They dominated (Sunday's) game even though Arizona was playing backups."
Arizona pulled many starters in the second quarter, while Green Bay elected to play many of its starters throughout the game. Ryan declined to comment on the wisdom, or lack of it, about either team's strategy.
Key starting players for both teams were injured during the game.
Cardinals cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was injured trying to tackle Jermichael Finley in the game's first drive.
"That's the shame now," Ryan said. "That's what you don't want to happen in any game, in particular a meaningless football game. You got the Pro Bowl corner now in the locker room."
Fox reported Rodgers-Cromartie suffered a left knee contusion.
Packers safety Charles Woodson suffered a shoulder injury, and Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin twisted his left ankle. Both players left the game after their injuries and did not return.
The injuries to Rogers-Cromartie and Boldin caused Rodney Harrison of NBC Sports to favor Green Bay in the next game against Arizona.
"They are playing inconsistent anyway, so I think that really puts a damper on their playoff hopes," Harrison said, referring to Arizona.
"I think Green Bay is going to win that rematch," said Tony Dungy of NBC.
Double trouble
Before the Cardinals were thrashed by the Packers, Bill Cowher of CBS' "The NFL Today" considered both teams a tough playoff out.
"You are talking about an Arizona team that has won six of their last eight," Cowher said. "Green Bay has won six of their last seven.
"These two teams can score points, but also these two teams can play defense. Arizona is the third-best sacking team in the National Football League. Green Bay No. 2. These are two teams kind of below the radar right now. I tell you I don't think anybody wants to play them in the playoffs."
Blackout rules
Viewers in the Milwaukee market did not see the pregame chatter and opening kickoff of the Packers-Cardinals game.
The screen remained dark for a few minutes, but the problem was not network-wide.
"It must be an isolated incident," said Dan Bell, a spokesman for Fox Sports.
Bell said the technical support staff at Fox told him there was no problem with the telecast on the network level.

History books will likely look back on September 2016 as a major milestone for the world's climate. https://t.co/x3C7ife8Ij
New TerraPass project: Blue Canyon Wind Farm
TerraPass experienced dramatic growth last year. This Friday we crossed another milestone: 40,000 people carry some form of a TerraPass. With all that demand, we've been looking for new projects to support. The latest is a good example of the benefits of rural wind power in the heartland of America – The Blue Canyon Wind Farm in Oklahoma.
(Check out these nifty satellite pics.)
Our first purchase is more than 17,000 megawatt-hours, or 9% of total capacity. That means that of the 45 turbines, 4 of them turn just for TerraPass members. As part of the Western Farmer's Electric Cooperative WindWorks program, TerraPass members will join customers of 19 separate cooperative utility programs in supporting the wind farm. The program was named a top-ten Green Power Program in March '06 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Project Details
- 72 MW capacity wind farm in Anadarko, OK
- 45 1.6MW turbines from NEG Micon
- Online Dec 2004
- Purchase of 17,075 MWH Green-e certified RECs
- Displacement claim based on 1937 lbs CO2/MWh, 15,000 metric tons CO2 total
- Meets all additionality criteria of Green-e.
- Co-benefits include over 100 construction jobs, grazing on ranch land, and wild elk habitat
For photo lovers, see some pics here. I've also made some desktop images of the farm (1920 x 1440, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600), complete with roaming elk. Let me know if you like them and we'll get some better quality images for your desktop viewing.

Once again...Thanks for playing meh hack, Fallkitten. I'm really grateful, believe me.
Anyways, Yin Black/Yang White needs an update, like, crazy. LOL
...But that might take awhile...since I do all my editing through hex. Anyways, yeah...If I recall you can catch an Axew before you fight Lenora. It lives in, of course, shaking grass.
So, I just wanted to drop by and say the wait for Version 3 of Neo Soulsilver is now over. I've released the patch. You can find on my main page.
Anyways, just to clarify...I'm gonna write a short log on what's new.
Version contains...that which is listed below.
~Freeze Fixes: This includes- Goldenrod City Radio Tower, Violet City, when the man gives you a Miracale Seed and when meeting Baoba; the Safari Zone guy, for the first time.
~New Items can be found all throughout Johto/Kanto Regions. This also means some people might give you different items than what they usually give you.
~All Event Pokemon are now on new levels when encountering. Example: Sudowoodo will be on Level 25 now.
~Some Gym Leaders also gives out new TM when beating them. Of course, I had to change the dialogue, so it'll match up the TM they give them. If you find any dialogue that doesn't make with the item the NPC gives...please tell me, cuz I fix this.
~Even more new dialogue: Yep. I added a few more dialogue; hopefully you'll find it funny. I also repointed summa da messed up dialogue I did in my previous version
~I did a complete overhaul on the Pokemon stats and moveset: I pretty much completely revamped almost every Pokemon def and off stats and moveset, so it'll be a bit more balance...(All starters now have two abilities.
~Harder Trainers/Gym Leader: Every trainer...even the weakest of trainer, should at least be able put up some sorta fight. I jack up their AI...And this time, I actually did it. LOL
~Also included with the patch is the Rudolph's AP patch, so you can patch it your game, before patching my...um, well...patch.

Cross-country cyclist travels through Erie
Rena Patty pedaled through Erie on Wednesday and shared her message about 9/11.
Patty, 50, is riding her bicycle across the country to raise awareness for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The nonprofit organization is calling for an independent investigation into the World Trade Center attacks.
It believes controlled explosions brought down the skyscrapers, not just jet planes.
"I give out DVDs at every fire hall, police station and sheriff's office I visit," Patty said. "It's a documentary that includes interviews with credentialed architects and engineers who are calling for an independent investigation. There is forensic evidence that points to factors involved in addition to the jet planes and jet fuel."
Patty and traveling companion Pam Senzee started their cross-country journey July 25 near Patty's home in Washington state. They took separate paths in the Midwest, but both plan to finish Oct. 26 at the World Trade Center site.
Patty rides about 50 miles a day, and spends most nights at motels or camping outside.
"Before this, I rode about two miles to the grocery store, and that was about it," Patty said.
The recent colder temperatures haven't been a concern, Patty said.
"I have winter gear," she said. "I'm prepared."

Dining tables are humble, hardworking home furnishings. We eat at them day after day, pretty them up for holiday dinners, yet pound on them when we need a work table. A well made table requires almost no maintenance, and in return gives generations of solid service. I've made over 2,000 tables in my 20 years as a reproduction furniture maker. What follows are basic points to consider in table design.
How much room to allow for each person?
Along the side of a rectangular table, allow 23" minimum width per place setting or per side chair. A roomier arrangement is 30" per setting, and that's what you need with most arm chairs. Allow about a foot in front of each chair for a place setting, plus whatever space you need for food or centerpiece type décor in the middle of the table.
A 30 inch wide table can be really intimate, or can work in tight quarters such as a small kitchen. A table of this width unfortunately leaves little room between diners for food, dishes or décor. Table widths between 36 and 40 inches gives you about 12" in the middle of the table for dishes and décor. Forty-two inch wide tables give ample room in the middle. For extra large tables, or in extra large rooms, tables with widths of 44" work well. Widths greater than 44" begin to be almost too wide, making conversation and food passing more difficult. see Table Width Diagram
Allow at least 12" for the place settings at the ends of a table. If the table is to have a trestle or stretcher base that might encroach on knee room for the person seated at the end of a table, add even more room. Many historical examples exist where tavern tables had 14" of end overhang. see Place Setting Depth Diagram
Round tables are real space savers in that they don't have the sharp corners. Plus, they curve away from a person seated at them, so it's easier to slide in and out of one's chair when in a tight room. Allow more room around the perimeter of a round table for a place setting because the place setting tapers like a pie wedge towards the center of the table. Twenty-six inches is good. Thirty inches is better. The formula for calculating the distance around a round table is pi (3.14159) multiplied by the diameter of the circle.
Consider the room dimensions, too.
People seated at a dining table need to be able to get in and out from their seats without feeling cramped. Leave 32" minimum back from the table edge for seating clearance, or you may find that someone is constantly upsetting the juice glasses, soup bowls, wine goblets…yikes! Thirty-six inches is a better space to allow for pushing a chair back from the table. When you see a diner push a chair back from the table's edge, cross their legs or clasp their hands behind their heads in a pose of relaxation, get out your tape measure. You'll find they've taken up a minimum of 44" back from the table edge for this type of behavior. see Room Dimension Diagram
The Table Base See selection of Dining Table Base Kits
Dining tables are a very standard 30" in height. This is a dimension that is in the middle of two undesirable extremes. Shorter tables are hard to get one's legs under. And higher tables put one's plate uncomfortably high. Dining table legs are 29", which leaves about an inch for top thickness. If you're planning on a top thicker than one inch, you can shorten the 29" legs to maintain a finished height of 30".
The apron boards that connect the table legs to form the base are generally about ¾" thick and 4" wide. This again has become standardized. Thinner or narrower aprons fail to give the required support; wider aprons fail to give the clearance for knees and thighs. One exception can be found in tables of the Queen Anne period. The aprons have a scrolled edge profile that affords more knee room by virtue of the cutaway portions of the apron. This trick can be applied to any table base if it needs to constantly accommodate a tall person.
Mortise & tenon joinery is the standard for hitching aprons and legs. It's the traditional method and still the best. Corner braces of either wood or metal also get the job done. If you're contemplating an exceptionally heavy top of stone or metal, you may want to consider using the mortise and tenon joint supplemented with corner braces.
A word about extension tables.
Extension tables feature tops that pull apart in the middle. Leaves are inserted in the void to make more surface area. Table slides bridge the void and support the leaves. Table slides come in many different configurations. Some are really short to fit underneath small tables, but open really wide for Thanksgiving dinner. I call these "holiday slides" because they're great for occasional use, but somewhat rickety when used frequently. You want to select the slides that are the longest length that will fit between your aprons. This gives the best support.
Design wise, you want to plan on at least two 12" leaves in order to obtain an additional place setting on either side of the table.
One of my favorite extension tables is a fixed square base that supports a round top. The semicircular top halves open to allow plenty of room for conventional leaves. This makes a nice racetrack oval table for company, but reduces to a small space saving table for everyday use. This is made possible through the use of equalizer slides, one of the slickest gizmos in the trade. The equalizer makes opening an extension table so easy that one person can do it. It eliminates the necessity of two people pulling in absolute harmony to get the table apart. Equalizers are geared so that both leaves open at once, from one end, with one easy motion.
Top Tips
Top thickness is to a large extent dictated by personal preference. My background in reproduction furniture has led me to use top thickness dimensions like those on the antiques I've studied. Most table look good with a top thickness dimensions in the ¾" to 7/8" range. For a more informal table with a country feel, especially with larger legs I will sometimes go with a thickness up to 1 ¼". On end tables and small hall tables, I often settle on 5/8" thickness. On Shaker tables, creating a sweet balance between the base and top can be achieved by cutting a bevel on the underside of the table top to create a more delicate edge reveal.
Overhang is how much the top projects out over the base. Four inches along the sides and ends is a safe dimension. If you go more, whatever details are in the aprons (beaded edges, scrollwork, moldings, et cetera) will be overshadowed. On the ends of the table, you want a little more for visual balance, especially when using Hepplewhite legs. And for stretcher base tables, you need at least 12-14" of overhang for knee room.
A Final Caution
Style maven Martha Stewart recently put a metal top onto one of our table base kits on national TV. Ever since we have been deluged with calls about metal and stone tops to go on our bases. This creates a really nice look- and potentially a lot of weight, too. If you're designing with metal or stone, pause and think about the weight. For heavy tops like stone, I recommend using "center turned" legs rather than off-center turned legs (such as cabriole, Queen Anne, etc.) This gets the load bearing element (the leg) "in column" with the load. This minimizes the chance of overloading the cross grain planes of weakness inherent in cabriole legs. Also, consider using additional means of bracing the base (corner brace kit) to minimize racking forces. And please, use common sense when designing tables with heavy tops. Our legs can take the weight, but if Uncle Larry gets excited and falls laterally against a table with a stone top, it could be enough force to set off a really ugly chain of events. Stay safe!

1/5th Bikers in New Zealand
Just wanting to see how many people have 1/5th scale bikes in New Zealand?
Looking at starting something at the north harbour r/c track, would need about 5 bikes to get something started.
So yeah if you own a bike and live anywhere in NZ post what area you are in and what kinda bike you have and we'll see if we can get something started
I'll start things off, I live in Auckland and have a TT electric bike
Hi Sean
Im in Christchurch & i have 2 TT fm1e Bikes (1 is spare parts) & a TT nitro. We dont have any rc tracks big enough down here to race the bikes so a buddy & myself just do a bit off car park bashing. It would be better if there were a few more off us so we could have some proper racing.
Cool, the CRCCC clubs track (see picture) would be big enough, they have had 1/5th scale cars racing successfully on that track. In fact there was a bike there having a bash a couple of weekends ago, havent been able to find out who it was yet though
The FM1E is a great bike to start out with, thats what ive got and i love it. I just have a stock motor in mine and it's pretty quick, hard to say in km/h but i would guess about 30-40 but dont quote me on that.
Not sure if you saw the video of my bike or not but it can turn very sharp as long as you're going slow enough. Maybe within 2-3 foot area you can turn 180 degrees.
Where abouts are you from?

hey im in the process of finding out weather you guys in NZ want your own forum where you can disscuss all things motor bike related and PM let me know.
Hi Sean
I'm enjoying racing the NF 501 in the UK. Unfortunately won't be home until around September 2009
Mad keen on the bike at the moment, it is taking over from my PHI. I'm still well off the pace of the quick guys - some of the best in the world, but it is starting to make sense. Much more fun racing than bashing.
With a bit of traveling (and warm, waterproof clothes), I could race twice a month over winter.
Peter Chang
ps. I'll drive up from Wgtn to race if you get enough by the time I'm home.
Hey Peter,.. it sounds like you've found the holy grail of RC bike racing over there.. It's fun racing with all the UK guys is'nt it..? You'll learn alot from all of them.. Your there till sept 09 eah, lucky bugger .., and if you don't mind me asking, what keeps you there till then,.. are you working..?? I'd love to do a full season of racing in the UK.. Anyway, have fun over there, I know I would be.. It would be cool to have an intercontinental challange later on down the track if bikes pick more this side of the equator..

hey guys
anyone out there in the land of the long white cloud still knockin round with these bikes? i have been out with my nf electric(ex pedro C) a bit lately. getting some practise in before going back onto the track(the first attempt was a bit brutal haha) i see there is a fair bit of banter across the creek in oz about rc bikes,good to see. will have to stash the bike in a siutcase for the next visit over to oz. would be great to see some more bikes over here. we have two or three here in welly and i hear of a handful of riders/drivers(?) down in christchurch. ruapuna must be a fanstastic circut for any rc let alone bikes.
anyone else wanna chip in feel free
Hi kneedeeppow
Im in Christchurch, we have 3 regular bikes down here, all SB5's, I think they are all superbike spec. There is also a TT nitro but I havent seen it at the track yet.
Myself and Pete are usually at Ruapuna most weekends bashing around. We are hoping to get some racing going down here when the club starts a large scale day,(not sure exactly when that is) I think they are planning 3 or so classes 1/5th &1/7th cars and 1/5th Bikes.
Weve been running on the Ruapuna track for about 15 months now, it was a big upgrade from the netball court we started on. Ruapuna is a great track once you get the bike setup right, although Im still searching for that perfect setup.
The bikes look really good when you get them running side by side especially when you can hold it all together for a few laps of back and forward passing. I cant wait till we have five or six on the track racing.
If your heading to Christchurch at some point, get in touch and ill take you out to the track
Hi kneedeeppow
Just to add to what Dan said the Ruapuna track is awesome, since we have been going to the track we havent even thought about going back to a car park or the netball courts.
We are really looking forward to having some proper racing there soon , all we need are a few more bikes to make it even better.
So if anyone is interested in having a look at the bikes or want to have a wee go off Dans bike lol or mine they can contact myself or Dan (rcmotogp) here and we will be happy to help. Even if someone is visiting Christchurch bring your bike and we can arrange for a bash at the track.
Yip im keen for sat but would you be able to pick me up if i need you to? Sebastian has football so the missus might need the car. I will know later on in the week.

am hoping to the bike out again this weekend on our local track(cmr) . its a tight turny twisty track for 1/5,probably even a 1/8.

edge bevel????
What the hell is edge bevel and if you detune a snowboard will u change the bevel or what?
I believe edge bevel is the degree your edge is at. So say you have a 0 degree bevel, your base and side edges are at 90 degrees. If you have a 2 degree bevel they are at 88 degrees. If you detune the edge, it dulls them, so the angles is farther from 90 degrees, so yeah you are changing the bevel.
Thats just what I think I know. If I am wrong, some else correct me :laugh:

Fine looking girl slammed from behind
Here's a fine shot of a naked college girl getting pounded from behind by what's-his-face. Quite a few things stand out for me in this amateur pic. She's gripping the pillow tightly, is that in pleasure or pain? He's squeezing her hot ass with both hands, maybe that's what she's reacting to. I like it alot. She's a fine looking girl who likes being slammed from behind. But what's with the all the shirts on the wall? Doesn't he have a closet?

This year was also big for non-traditional prom dresses. Like the atramentous floral applique clothes aloft and the albino dress with annoyed cape sleeves below, designers were not abashed to shy abroad from the acceptable white prom dresses and we are actual animated they did.
Minimalism is hot appropriate now and it's simple to see why. Modern girls are opting for these glassy and simple prom gowns that accord them a aesthetic and able look.
Add in a little brownish afterglow like the black prom dresses and you've got a appearance endlessly dress that is the apotheosis of this 2016 trend.
Just because bizarre details, brownish afterglow and applique sleeves are popular, we haven't apparent a abatement in archetypal styles such as wide-collared, abounding advantage gowns or a strappy accessible aback on a well-tailored dress. These accomplish our best account because they represent an constant style, by itself admirable on every woman.
2016 has been the year of glassy silhouettes. Whether it's a nice gown, sheath prom dresses, or one with attenuate cutouts, these graceful long prom dresses accept endemic both runways and aisles everywhere.
This wouldn't be a complete assembly of the best short prom dresses if we didn't cover a few crop tops. This trend isn't all about the bound and minimal. It in fact works able-bodied with flowy skirts and airy styling.
Last, but absolutely not least, designer prom dresses had been more and more accepted for 2016 women. Apparent as a more accidental option, these prom dresses uk stores are aerial off the racks of bridal shops everywhere.

The reason it mattered: Haden jumped the slant for reasons not even he could explain. "What was I thinking?" he asked. That loss to a poor Jacksonville team was one of the season's worst, and led to an emotional outburst from Haden in the locker room. It was the beginning of the end of the Browns, as they wound up in a slide they could not escape.
