Black History Month: Maury Wills
February is Black History Month so I thought I honored a few Dodgers for their contribution on the field and off the field.
Let's start with Maury Wills.
His perceverence paid off! Maury emerged from the Washington D.C. projects. He was one of 13 siblings, he went without shoes for much of his childhood. He spent eight years in the minors before joining the Major Leauge club. He'd go on to win an MVP award, two Gold Gloves,be named to five All-Star Games and lead the NL insteals six times.
Go! Go! Go! In September 23, 1962, Dodger shortstop Maury Wills broke Ty cobb's record of 96 stolen bases in one season. Dodger Stadium would erupt in
chant of "Go! Go!' whenever he was on the basepaths. The exciting Wills ended up with 104 bases swipes and woudl go on to win the National League MVP.
Maury became the manager of the Mariners but after he got fired in 1981, he turned to alcohol and drugs.
Maury credits God, and the Dodgers, for saving his life. His personal angel was another Dodger legend, Don Newcombe. Alcohol had ruined Newcombe's brilliant career 20 years earlier. When he got sober, Newk set about saving others.
Maury continues to work with the Dodgers spending time as an instructor for the Dodgers and their minor leaguers in spring training and during the season.
He contributes not only to baseball but to help others make that cross to sobriety.
Last year I attended the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities)dinner where Maury Wills was given the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award.
At the dinner, my friend Erik and I chanted "Go! Go! Go! when Maury's name was announced! Larry King commented "There is your fan club Maury!".
I do wish his number would be retired at Dodger Stadium. We Love you Maury!

Is that the "Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities" RBI? Great program!
Good to see Maury Wills get his due.
I failed to put that in there but I updated post! Thanks! Wish his number was retired at Dodger Stadium!
what a very nice person Maury Wills is.I wont forget the time he spoke to me in a very polite way saying to me " how are you son ". By the way there is a show on FSN prime ticket call Dodgers legends and the past two weeks are showing Maury Wills , I bet you saw it,You dont missed a thing Emma.great post like always.
I heard a similar story from Dickie Noles yesterday…he said he too battled alcohol and now goes around helping others with the same problem. Great to see these guys use their own experiences as learning tools for others :O)
Oh yeah, Maury is always running around the stadium. One day I see him on the field, another day in the club level, Top deck and even at the entrance of the main parking lot. He gets around around a lot with those two wheels.
Is wonderful that they use their experience to help others! I'll check your blog and see how the Bloomberg Fantasy event went.
Great pic of you and Maury, Emma. I agree his number should be retired. He was an amazing player.
Thanks Jane! My friend Eric has a hat that says "Retire #30 Maury" Maury happen to be going by and I called him so he could checkout the hat.
I ran into Maury in the parking lot a couple of times, right by the entrance. It was kinda of funny to find him there. Maybe he was waiting for someone that was being dropped off.
Thanks. Wish I would have seen him play but it was before I became a Dodger fan. that is the good thing of tapes.
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW! Caravan baby! Chicken and Waffles here I come and also OLVERA Street for the rally!
Hey Emma!
Always nice to see and hear from Maury. Way back (and I mean WAY BACK) I saw Maury in the parking lot and got his autograph! What a nice guy he is!
Oh Emma, I was going to put this on your blog before, but I just forgot. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it to Roscoe's, House of Chicken and Waffles tomorrow. Previous plans that I can't get out of. Aw, nuts. And it looks like we'll miss each other at ST too. Aw, nuts. We'll just have to catch up with each other during the season!!! Can't wait for Dodger Baseball!!! 🙂
Emma – Did you notice that you just time warped ahead of me? 🙂 It alwys makes me chuckle that your time stamps are hours ahead of the real time. It does sound like you're reading my mind!!! Have fun tomorrow! I'll be there in spirit!
Muary Wills, Good Choice!
Sorry we will miss you at the Caravan but let me know next time you are at the stadium or come up, you know where I sit!
I reported to Mark about the warping problem but I have not seen him posting lately. Maybe he went with the Marlins.
I picked Maury because he still working with the Dodgers and I like how he overcame his alcoholism and drug problem and turn it into helping kids.
I loved Maury Wills and remember watching him at the ballpark as a small child, but I am in complete disagreement that his number should be retired at Dodger Stadium! The Dodgers have a set precedent and only broke with it once. You retire numbers for players in the Hall of Fame. I understand they made the exception for Junior's death. I for one respect the Dodgers for not retiring numbers of everyone who was a very good player. Over the years I have heard Hershiser, Garvey, Valenzuela, Gibson, etc. should all have retired numbers and I strongly disagree!
What did you think when Mitch Poole, the Dodger clubhouse manager did not give Manny #34 because he said that in his heart #34 was retired.

Power after one get more twitter followers instantly:
It is a widely accepted fact that social media is a valuable asset of online marketing whether you are looking for brand recognition or widening customer base. Twitter is one of such used social media network by millions of people across the world. Although having a large number of Twitter followers is a matter of prestige it is not always easy to have such following, which is why purchasing Twitter followers has become a popular way to gain popularity among businesses. Almost 28% of Twitter followers are ones who have purchased their followers.
Why people buy followers:
There are a lot of companies that sell followers on Twitter. Every company uses a different method and provide different services. Some provide cheaper service but have inactive followers while others provide a little expensive service but have active followers.
Purchasing Twitter followers is a way for people to appear more reputable, to increase their social credibility and to make them more popular in the hope that other people will see them as the next best thing. If a food critic has only 35 followers people will not take their judgement seriously whereas if a food critic has 2000 followers, they suddenly become more reliable.
It is easy to purchase Twitter followers than having real ones. It requires a lot of effort and time to gain real followers. A person has to broadcast constantly the latest news and share hilarious posts to be able to retain real followers.
A large number of politicians and celebrities have fake followers. 71% of Lady Gaga's and 70% of President Obama's followers are fake.
Disadvantages of these followers:
There are a lot of disadvantages of buying Twitter followers. Many sites that sell Twitter followers are running a scam they may take your money and give back absolutely nothing in return. These sites often take advantage of businesses and leave them high and dry. Sometimes fake followers hack the accounts of real followers and infect their accounts using link spam. Having fake followers can also result in public humiliation and a bad reputation. With the help of Fake Follower Check tool, it is very easy to find out who is buying fake followers.
Buying real followers can be very expensive. There is much software that search and locate Twitter users with similar interests. This is known as purchasing specific Twitter followers. Some sites that sell these followers are Fiverr, Fast Followers, FollowerSale and Devumi, but it is better to get more twitter followers instantly from sites that are active and real.
Having real Twitter followers is the best way to boost your popularity. Here are some steps to increase them naturally:
- Peak times are the best times to tweet.
- Interact with the big names in your industry to get maximum retweets,
- Link Twitter handles to your different social media accounts,
- Make your tweet funny and interesting.
- Use hashtags so that your tweet is easier to find.
Although it is difficult to get real Twitter followers, they prove beneficial in the long run.

Click here to see icons of Saints of the Church that have taught about Orthodox Educational principles in their lives and in their works.Listed below are books that are suggested to enhance your understanding of Orthodox Christian Education.Click on any image to see it larger and to read a longer description.
May God bless you and keep you!
By Metropolitan Anthony Bloom 114pgs.
About the concepts of time, honesty, when God is seemingly absent, and much more. This is a very direct answer to many of our modern dilemmas.
by Victor Afanasiev- 833 pgs.
A refreshing biography of one of the 14 great Optina Elders whose teaching, spiritual foresight, and clairvoyance pierced the mysteries of God as they related to those they met or corresponded with. This elder was a colonel in the Russian Army before his call to monastic life at 47, and shows in particular in its telling that the circumstances of our life are never by chance and have a most deep meaning that we can learn.
Prisoner, Priest, Spiritual Father
A modern classic about how the worst calamities can be transfigured into spiritual benefit if one has the eyes to see, and the ears to hear the Gospel. A great biography of a victim of Soviet persecution who made the Gulag the door into Heaven.
Liturgy and Life in the Orthodox Church, by Archimandrite Vasileios
About a unified and comprehensive view of the Mind of the Trinity as it is expressed in the Church and how to enter it. The exact answer to where Christian unity lies.
By Archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy
The single best simple overview of the Orthodox Faith with lucid and profoundly simple explanations of the Church's Feasts and Fasts, and It's Orthodox practice.
This direct, very lively, and inspiring teaching is a part of this book about St. Seraphim and gives in a very few pages the very purpose of our life in the Church: the acquisition of the Holy Spirit.
By Metropolitan of Nafpaktos Hierotheos
How the "Mind of the Church" is understood correctly, used in distinction to other forms of Christianity, and then applied to our daily life. Important to counteract modern concepts of faith that lack theological and practical clarity, respect for religious differences. How to become truly Orthodox in thought, word, and deed.
By Kyriacos C. Markides - 256 pgs.
A contemporary story of how a modern non-practicing professor at an American University found Father Maximos, a striking figure of Orthodoxy from Mount Athos who spoke to his heart, and subsequently found that the faith of his Orthodox Cypriot heritage was alive and true. A story of modern doubts and how to overcome them.
St. Basil the Great: from the Sunday Sermons of the Holy Fathers126 pgs.
By Timothy [Bishop Kallistos] Ware
Although there is no perfect introduction to the history and the theology and practice of the Orthodox Church, this book, written by an English speaking convert, is probably the best and most approachable available. Don't neglect to read carefully the entire history, for the Church exists in space and time as well as in Eternity.
A Manual of Spiritual Transformation, by St. Theophan the Recluse
Explains the journey of each person from birth to Heaven and the specific ways to live an Orthodox Christian life in every stage from cradle to grave. Specifics on child-rearing and overcoming the passions and selfishness. A modern saint wrote this.
We truly begin to learn of the richness of Orthodoxy by the practice of prayer, for according to St. Paul, our prayer should precede all other activity.
The "Way of a Pilgrim" is considered a great classic of Russian Orthodox spirituality, specifically on the origin and practice of the Jesus Prayer.

Sir Ian McKellen, fresh from his performance as Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, is Prospero, and heads a strong cast in Shakespeare's last great play. The wronged duke raises a tempest to shipwreck his old opponents on his island so that he can ensure justice is done. With Emilia Fox as Miranda, Scott Handy in the pivotal role of the sprite Ariel, and Ben Owukwe as Caliban, this new production, directed by John Tydeman, balances the magic and the earthiness, with music playing a key role.

"Great Story, audio needs a little tweaking"
Absolutely! It's a fairly entertaining story.
"I did not give the lie!"
No narrator. This is recorded as a stage play. You get a different actor for every part.
No extreme reaction. Of course I was already familiar with the story.
Be prepared to rewind every now and then to catch what was said when the actors whisper. Having a hard copy of the play would probably help. Of course, then you could just read it.
J.R. Snyder
"A stellar performance by a stunning cast"
If you enjoy Shakespeare's comedies you should not miss out on this edition of The Tempest. Sir Ian McKellen as Prospero is everything you might hope for and more, which is no surprise from an actor of his caliber. The remainder of the cast excels similarly and the recording is produced seamlessly. This audio performance is a real treat.
"Gandalf is great"
I've always had trouble following Shakespeare plays in text. It's difficult for me to identify the tone of the scene, and the story becomes hard to follow.
Listening to these voice actors solves that problem. It's easy to follow the story when the lines are being delivered with the correct emotion.
That being said, The Tempest is a bit romantic for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Ian McKellen could literally read a dictionary to me and I would like it.
"Delightful Performance"
A wonderful performance of "The Tempest". I particularly enjoyed Ian McKellen and Emilia Fox as Prospero and Miranda.
I believe this is a recording of an actual performance and that is the cause of my one complaint. There are very few or no clues to distinguish between Sebastian and Antonio. To my ear, their voices are close enough that it's a bit difficult sometimes to separate the two. (In the actual performance this wouldn't have been an issue.) Since I'm familiar with the play, it didn't bother me too much, but it did throw me a bit at first.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in "The Tempest".
"Good, not perfect"
This is a perfectly decent recording of The Tempest. Sir Ian is an excellent Prospero and the rest of the cast are competent, although the Caliban is a bit awkward, The sound quality is a little murky sometimes.
"An excellent listen"
for a long airplane or car trip. Wonderfully made and well acted of this Shakespeare classic.
"Excellent audio edition"
I purchased this to "hear along" as I read the text. Although the performances really bring the characters to life, it may be hard to follow without the text in front of you.
I hesitated to buy this because other reviewers complained about storm noise, etc. That is really only an issue in the very first scene, and the speech is clear enough over the storm. (And, let's be honest: the play is "The Tempest"; the title incident deserves to be heard a bit, right?) The bulk of it is good, clear speech with music interspersed to indicate scene changes and/or the coming and going of spirits (especially Ariel).
"Awesome Narration"
No, because I don't enjoy Shakespeare. I had to read it for a literature course.
If forced.
This narration saved my grade! I just can't get into Shakespeare. Somehow the actors made the story flow for me. Even though I didn't care for the story, I made it through with ease. I had excellent comprehension in just one listen. Normally it would have taken me several readings to translate the Shakespearian verse into something that makes sense to me. No need with this performance. Thank you for making this!
"As if Shakespeare isn't hard enough,..."
The actors and sound effects make it more difficult to understand what the f is going on!
Had to listen to it twice to make heads or tails out of it.
"not good quality"
I love William Shakespeare, and obviously The Tempest is one of his greatest plays, so I didn't have a problem with that. The reason for such a low rating is purely how book was presented. The background noises was very loud, distracting, and annoying. Then when it came to the speakers I could hardly hear what they were saying! I had bought this book on audible because I thought hearing Shakespeare read out loud would be enjoyable, but instead I found myself cringing every time I turned it on because I was wondering if there was going to be anther part were tons of people were loudly screaming franticly in the background. And usually there was. I have absolutely no idea what was being said in the book. I got the general idea from the bits and pieces I heard, but I'm going to have to actually buy The Tempest in print to read to know what was going on.
"Tempestuous Performance"
Yes. Ian McKellen gives an excellent performance as Prospero and the recording really brings the play to life.
Ariel's music and also the way in which characters were brought to life through their own mannerisms and personalities.
Prospero is the central character and gives an unforgettable performance.
Yes - I easily could have.

I kinda want to dip out of the league...I'll give the keys to smokes and let him take over. Not really interested in a league where all my trades are going to get vetoed. I try to be fair as possible, but it seems hopeless at this point. The lack of sense and logic, it seems like people just veto anything with my name in it. Don't really want to hear **** about it. Iono, kills the entire interest and puts me in confinement. I'm not about that.
Two spots open for KO fantasy league.

Dr. Manjula Nagaraj
Diuretics are substances that allow the body to get rid of excess water and sodium. They help in draining out the water by stimulating the kidneys and eliminate sodium from the urine thus, facilitating drainage of excess water. Diuretics are prescribed by the doctor when the body starts to retain excessive fluids.
The conditions that lead to problems such as:
1. High blood pressure: This is a disorder wherein the blood exerts more than the normal force (pressure) against the arterial walls while flowing through them.
2. Diabetes: It is a metabolic disorder wherein the blood sugar level rises significantly.
3. Kidney stones: Kidney stones refer to the formation of stones in the kidneys that can hamper the normal functioning of the kidney, leading to fluid retention in the body.
4. Edema: A disorder wherein parts of the body tend to swell due to inflammation is called 'edema'.
5. Impaired functioning of the kidney: Impaired functioning of the kidneys makes it very difficult to flush out the excess sodium from the body thus, leading to fluid retention.
There are certain natural diuretics, which can come to your aid in times such as these. Read on to know more:
1. Parsley: Parsley, a very effective diuretic, is an herb that is commonly used for garnishing. It can also help in relieving bladder problems.
2. Black and green tea: Both green and black variants of the humble tea are very effective diuretics; you can enjoy them after a heavy meal to get rid of the bloating.
3. Hawthorn: A type of natural diuretic that is effective in reducing fluid accumulation and increasing urinary excretion. It also helps in treating problems of the kidney.
4. Juniper: A diuretic that has been used since ancient times. Juniper is very effective in removing excess salt and fluids from the body. The advantage of this plant is that it does not lower downs the level of potassium in the body, a side effect of other diuretics.
The pyramid diet was conceptualised in 1992 and it emphasises the best amount of servings to be consumed daily from the basic food groups (dairy, fruits and vegetables, grains, beans and legumes, meat, oils and fats).
The pyramid is divided into four levels. The very first level is comprised of grains, beans and legumes; the level above it is made up of fruits and vegetable; the third level from the top is composed of meat and dairy products and the very last one on top contains fats, sugars and oils.
The diet aims to divide the food groups in the above mentioned fashion to make you understand just how much to consume from each food group. Here is a breakdown of servings from each food group:
- Grains- 5 to 7 servings
- Fruits and vegetables- 2 servings of each
- Milk and dairy- 3 servings of which 1/2 serving should be dairy products
- Oils, sugar and fats- 6 teaspoons for oils and minimal servings for fats and sugars
This seems relatively easy to follow, but most people do not understand portion control. The amount or serving of food is called portion control and it is important if you want your diet to work. Here is a guideline that you can follow:
- When you are consuming one serving of grains in one sitting, you can choose to eat one cup of cereals or one slice of whole-wheat bread.
- When you are eating vegetable or fruits with your breakfast or lunch, choose one and a half cup of chopped vegetables, or one piece of orange, banana or apple.
- If you are drinking milk, then one cup of milk in one serving. And, if you are eating meat, choose one ounce of cooked fish or chicken.
- Lastly, do not go beyond one teaspoon of vegetable oil and try to keep your sugar intake to the minimum throughout the day.
The pyramid is an excellent guide to lose some weight. You just need some concentration and a ton of commitment to stick to the guide. Along with the diet, don't forget to get some exercise.
Cumin seed is a culinary herb that is local in Asia and is particularly used in India on daily basis. Cumin seeds are otherwise called jeera, caraway and kummel. It is a product of the cumin herb, however, it transforms into a seed only once it has dried. Cumin is an esteemed spice as it has numerous health advantages, usually for digestive conditions like colic, dyspepsia and flatulence. Nevertheless, consuming cumin seeds can have numerous side effects as well; so consult your specialist before you use it for medicinal purposes, as it can cause certain side effects as well, such as acidity or heartburn. Cumin seeds are known for their gas easing properties, yet it can bring about one of the most widely recognized digestive issue that is heartburn. It tends to facilitate the escape of more gas into your gastrointestinal tract. Liver damage: oil present in the cumin seeds is very unstable and can bring about liver and kidney damage, in case one consumes cumin seed in huge quantities for a long stretch of time. Cumin oil is used for animals to prevent or reduce muscle fits and spasms. Burping: the carminative impact of cumin seed may bring about excessive burping. Also, burping is sometimes referred as a ructus or belching, which includes too much bloating. Gas from the intestinal tract and stomach is released through the mouth. At times, burping has an awful smell and a trademark sound. Abortifacient effects: cumin seeds may also affect pregnant ladies. Consuming a lot of cumin seeds can prompt an unnatural birth cycle or instigate untimely or premature labor. Low blood sugar level: consuming cumin seeds in large quantities can bring down the glucose level in the body. One must remember this in case you are setting out towards a surgery in the near future. During surgery, it is crucial to keep up the glucose level. Narcotic effects: cumin seed has opiate properties. They need to be consumed with precaution, as they can be addictive. Opposite reactions of cumin seeds are mental blurring, sleepiness and nausea. Heavy menstrual cycle: cumin seeds may cause heavy bleeding during the menstrual cycle. In the event of cumin seeds being consumed in large amounts, you may experience heavier periods. Causes allergy: utilization of cumin seeds can bring about skin rashes and sensitivity. So individuals with skin sensitivity need to consume less cumin seeds to improve the condition. Not good for diabetics: diabetic patients need to control their glucose level. They must maintain regular glucose levels to stay sound. Fluctuating glucose levels are a strict no for most diabetics. As mentioned recently, cumin seeds may diminish your glucose level rapidly.

Human sexuality is a fairly complicated process and differs a lot between men and women. While most men can easily achieve orgasm, for women, is a completely different story. Many studies and self-reporting done on this subject have shown that very few actually get to orgasm most of the time and many fake it for a host of reasons. Let's look at a few of the top reasons why women may fake it.
To make a session end – A woman, while in the act, may feel bored or want the session to end quickly especially if her partner is close to or has already achieved orgasm. She would want to fake an orgasm to bring conclusion to the session and get on with other things.
To boost the ego of the partner – Women may fake orgasms to ensure that their partners don't feel guilty or inadequate about not making them climax. Although this usually happens in long term relationships, women may even do it in short term relationships to not hurt the ego of their men.
The partner doesn't know how to bring a woman to climax – Many men don't know how to bring their women to orgasm and thus, will try many things. There are other men who may not even care to know about pleasing their partners. In such cases, a woman may fake an orgasm as a ritual to show that she is also enjoying the act when she is actually not.
Used as a strategy to retain their partner in long term relationships – Many married women or women in long term relationships use fake orgasms to ensure that their partners feel happy. This is done so that their partners continue to stay with them and feel that they have been satisfying them well enough.
Faking an orgasm may lead to an actual one – Although this happens to a few women, some have reportedly stated that faking one orgasm might get them to have a real one. Some women also report being turned on by faking an orgasm.
She is afraid she will be judged – Many women feel insecure that if they are unable to orgasm with their respective partners, they might be judged as inadequate or incomplete. Thus, they would fake orgasms to bring finality to cover their own insecurities.

A woman was killed when she lost control of her vehicle, causing it to roll several times and land on its roof in a field, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies and emergency crews from Verona responded to County Road PB just south of Purcell Road in Montrose Township at 3:22 a.m. for a report of a single-vehicle crash.
The vehicle was found on its roof on the west side of the road, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said they believe speed was a contributing factor in the crash. They said the vehicle rolled several times before landing in the field.
County Road PB was closed for about three hours.
The name of the victim will be released by the Medical Examiner's Office after the notification of family members.

Hi all,
New to LLL, excited to be here!
A little background: My daughter is almost 5 months. We had a lot of difficulty with weight gain in the beginning, so at 2 weeks the pedi told us to stop trying to breastfeed for a week, give her pumped milk in a bottle, and supplement with formula. Stupid me, I listened, and she developed nipple confusion. I had a c-section and during recovery couldn't go anywhere without help, so didn't get the help I needed. In my attempts to get her to breastfeed again, I accidentally gave her nipple aversion (I was stressed and cried a lot during the attempts. The pain meds didn't help). I found out at 3 mos. that she also has a posterior tongue tie, which probably was the source of the problem in the first place and surely didn't help trying to get her back to the breast when breastfeeding was so challenging for her!
Here we are, 5 mos later, and I'm still trying, and still heartbroken. I've tried EVERYTHING, literally, except having her tongue clipped because her father is against it. She's most willing to latch at home with a nipple shield and SNS, but she can't latch well with the nipple shield and it keeps popping out of her mouth. The funny thing is, when the local LC (in her volunteer capacity) helped her latch a couple of weeks ago without the shield, she latched just fine! She wouldn't stay on long, though.
I believe my best chance of getting her to BF is with an LC. I've been to LLL meetings obviously, and had the local WIC BFing peer counselor try to help, all to no avail. Medicaid in my state won't cover lactation consultations. I've had one consult, but that's all I can afford. The volunteer LC won't help any more, she wants me to go in for a consultation so she can get paid (perfectly understandable!). Any suggestions on ways to get help from an LC or any other professional, other than what I've tried? I know my daughter would be much happier breastfeeding, she tries to treat the bottle like a breast, and it's making her overweight!

I can't wait for Sasuke vs Itachi in the animeeee! >w< I'm so excited. :D
It will be so awesome. ^________^
J-man vs. Pain is a hard battle, i'm waiting so much to see it in anime...

Not Me We Know The Result To That Smh
I am waiting for both anxiously...
but i want to see itachi vs. sasuke first...oh man! that will be awesome fight....
sharingan vs. sharingan..
Lolz I think they're both worth waiting 'coz Ita vs Sasu There are Susanoo and genjutsu and J-man vs Pain I wait 'coz there are ma&pa fighting ^^
Itachi Vs Sasuke Of Course Lol
sasuke vs itachi = Epic fight
Tbh Sasuke vs. Itachi.
Didn't see much on-screen betwen Jiraiya and Pain.
J-Man Vs Pain.
Jiraiya's infiltration of the Rain Village and it's interesting settings, Sage mode introduced, the 'twist' in the fight will be well worth it when animated, Jiraiya and Minato/ Kushina flashback and the end is more heartbreaking IMO. Jiraiya is a more likeable character then Itachi.
sasuke itachi fight, will be epic watching motion picture. i want to see kirin
Well i m waiting for fight between madara and sasuke.......naruto.......!!!!!!
sasuke vs itachi gonne me cool
sasuke vs itachi will be good, but the fight was disappointing in my opinion. itachi didn't even wanna kill sasuke so he went east on him, and sasuke.......well i just hate sasuke in general cuz he's a little emo-*****.
but u guys know me, i definately have to go with jiraiya vs pein. its my favorite fight in the entire series. even though jiraiya (my favorite character) dies, it will still be epic.
but remember, if jiraiya knew it was nagato and that he used those rods from the start. he would have PWND pein. this is why i still think jiraiya is possibly the strongest character in the entire show, besides yondaime and possibly madara.
itachi vs sasuke
I'd have to go with Sasuke/Itachi... But what I REALLY can't wait for is Pein/Naruto...
Deidara V sasuke
both fights were relly awesome
Jiraya vs Pain. It's going to be epic to see it animated. Then the fight between Itachi vs Sasuke. Amaterasu in full HD color . Oooh and don't forget the fight between Naruto vs Pain. OMFG it's going to be the most epic battle, animated.

Imagine being the guy who has to take over first base from Pujols when he leaves the Cardinals. Sure, like Jeff says, life will go on but imagine being that guy. It doesn't matter how good you are, you're always going to fall short. It's kind of like Steve Young. He was a great quarterback but I don't think that many people would claim he was better than Joe Montana. It's hard being a replacement.
Steve Young aside, replacements often leave much to be desired. Maybe it's because the original is irreplaceable. Maybe it's because the original has a special place in our hearts. Maybe it's both. But the fact is, being a replacement is an unenviable task.
It's even worse when you have to replace a classic. The Daily Show pointed this out recently:
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
|Mark Twain Controversy
Sure, the original is full of crass and vile vernacular but that's the reality of our history. When you try to replace it, it just comes off as hackneyed and simplistic.
Huck Finn, for better or worse, represents a specific time in American history, a time that we don't necessarily have to be proud of but that we should remember. Albert Pujols represents the other end of that spectrum for Cardinals fans and he's going to be just as irreplaceable. And when they try, it's going to feel just as awkward as the new version of Huckleberry Finn.

Yeah, whether the relationship is with one person or an entire fanbase, it sucks to be the rebound guy.
The whole Huck Finn rewrite thing is stupid, even more so because someone seems to feel the need to try this every decade or so. I'm glad you wrote about it! Beyond being a sad reality of our history, Twain's use of language in Huck Finn was intentional social commentary showing the pervasiveness of racist attitudes and behavior across class lines. Mark Twain isn't rolling over in his grave every time some tries to bowdlerize his words, he's laughing sarcastically because the dim view he held of humanity towards the end of his life has been confirmed yet again.
– Kristen
Change is the one thing we can always expect, but it sometimes rears it ugly mug at the wrong moments or causes undue pain, suffering or a crack in our reality.
Sure players get older and young guys push them or pry them from their spots every Spring, but a contract situation in a whole different ballgame.
Worst thing is that no matter what the answer is in the Pujols saga, someone will lose.
Hopefully it is not the fanbase who flock to buy his jersey, wait impatiently for him before or after games, or that child who just wants a smile from their hero.
Money can be a cruel part of the game.
Heck, I remember playing for a snowcone asa kid….but then I didn't know about the Benjamins back then.

The New England Journal of Medicine Sinks a Bit Lower
I suppose it was bound to happen, but it still rankles. Here is the back cover of last week's issue of the decreasingly prestigious New England Journal of Medicine:
It's the 200th Anniversary issue, no less. Some might protest that 'probiotics'—live bacteria of 'good' varieties, as far as the gut is concerned—aren't all that implausible, and that there is some trial evidence that they help for some conditions. That's true, but as is typically the case even for the somewhat plausible end of the "CAM" spectrum, the hype greatly surpasses the evidence. The abstract of the most recent systematic review that I could find for probiotic treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS: symptoms and signs that best match the claims in the advertisement above) concluded:

IMHO, I see this game coming down to the wire.
As good as we look, and are playing as a team, we are still severely undermanned.
Lin can keep getting Jeffries, Walker, Fields, etc the perfect open looks all game...but at some point, the risk of them being exposed just gets pretty high.
Really hope we gut this game out

Thank you to Lorine McGinnis Schulze over at Olive Tree Genealogy, who has an ongoing series, since 2009 about Sharing Memories. She says, "We all want to find information on our ancestors and are overjoyed to find an ancestor's diary or journal. But what about our own memoirs? It's important as genealogists that we not forget about writing our own story. We may think writing about ourselves is boring or egotistical but stop and think how excited your descendants would be to find a journal or dairy that their great great grandmother (you) wrote."
Lorine has been posting a topic every Sunday since December 8, 2009, which gives me lots of food for thought and writing. In addition, there are no rules, you can jump in when you want, choose any topic that takes your fancy, write when and what you want to write -- no rules. My kind of series, since I dinna seem to do to well under hard and fast rules.
For this inaugural piece I am going back to a prompt from Week 1 of 2012, "A First Childhood Memory." Although I have earlier childhood memories, this particular one is so vibrant in my mind, it begs to be told.
The summer before I started school, my fifth summer, wrapped me in the most wonderful memories. My dad was charged by the Zuckerman Farms to open a potato market on some virgin land in Paisly, Oregon. I dinna know where the potato land was, nor do I now. Just not important to me, but what I remember was the wonderful summer we lived on the John Withers' ranch. We stayed in the old homestead house, which was then an overflow accommodation for family and visitors. I remember an old fashioned sink with a flower-patterned curtain to hide the plumbing and dishwashing pans and supplies. One time I was talking to my mother about the Wither's ranch, and I mentioned the "little tiny windows." She laughed, "You're right, Joannie, the kitchen window looked down over the pond and it was made up of lots of little panes of glass --- some very old and wavy." We were both surprised that I remembered that detail of the old homestead house.
For my first six years, I was brought up as an only child, surrounded by adults, but that summer in Paisley, I was surrounded by the Withers children and kin. We played at the pond; ran through the grass; sipped lemonade on hot afternoons; however, the the greatest memory was of the circus that the Withers kids put on. There were acrobatic tricks, a dog show(all the dogs were bathed and sometimes filled the roles of lions, horses, and cattle). A boy had a black hat and introduced all of the acts. I was by far the youngest, so I was dressed up in a "fancy dress" from the attic and I rode in the circus parade (on a wagon pulled by a dog/horse). I was the princess or so I thought. There must have been a quota of interested adults/audience, but that was of little importance to me. The big kids let me be part of the circus. I was so proud.
Such a magical memory. Seventy years later, on a summer's day, I can still see the pond, the black dress, and kids laughing and playing all around me -- magical.

By Bob Huber: Local Columnist
You hear it every spring — "The kites are coming! The kites are coming."
Mothers shield their kids, bikers don helmets — Imagine that! — and police warn citizens to stay off the streets and listen to disaster radio.
Behind all the screaming, yelping, baseless accusations and the wanton abuse of the American way of life is the fact that birds called Mississippi kites are back in New Mexico. And with them comes a hostile warning — "Break out your hard hat and hang a tennis racket low on your hip!"
That's because Mississippi kites, next to agents for the IRS, are sworn enemies of mankind, even womankind, and a few childrenkind too.
Kites have decals on their tail feathers that say, "No Fear!" They don't like anybody very much.
Scientifically, Mississippi kites are members of the hawk family Milvinae, a sub-family of Falconide, and are characterized by graceful glides and nasty attitudes. They build nests where no decent falcon has gone before, in trees on college campuses.
The reason they pick college settings is that students aimlessly walk around with baleful eyes turned to the ground, their thoughts on esoteric subjects like pizza and beer. They are traditional targets for these sneaky, feathered terrorists.
OK, I've warned you before and I'll warn you again. Not that you'll heed, but these nasty birds are dangerous to your health and may result in headache, dry mouth, nervous jitters, nightmares, and wet pants.
Ask your doctor about kites.
Meanwhile, talk to anyone in these parts and you'll hear frightening tales of kite attacks in broad daylight. Incidentally, these stories are currently being compiled into a rollicking TV mini-series, soon to be seen on the USA Channel in an attempt to replace "Walker, Texas Ranger" with more family-oriented fare.
Instead of Walker beating up people and appearing unshaved, the script goes like this:
Doctor: "Did you get the license number?"
Patient: "No, but I think it was a Toyota with wings."
Doctor: "Oh? The kites must be back. You know, rednecks with tiny Confederate flags dangling from their ear lobes and baseball caps worn backwards."
Oh sure, you think I'm exaggerating, but in Roswell, Mississippi kites have even been mistaken for local aliens from outer space. One old theater building has been converted into a museum showing a bird flaked out on an operating table with hovering military doctors performing a secret autopsy. Yuk! (kites have a tendency to crash in Roswell due to shotgunus terminae, a rare tropical disease.)
But kites have no fear of homosapiens. They mark off a no-man's land, and if you step on their territory, they think you're just a large mouse with bad breath.
Take your average target. She's a college co-ed named Brittany Crotchmire on her way to basket weaving class, humming a sour note as she stumbles along, her eyes on the ground, unaware that a kite — let's call him Captain Kirk — is adjusting his sites.
"Hmmm, wind from the south at 13 miles an hour, humidity 47 percent, focus at 60 yards. Better calculate in a little Kentucky windage too. What do you think, Mr. Spock?"
Kirk is experienced. He has decals of college students on his feathered fuselage. He flashes down out of the sun and WHAM!
"Eeeaaaugh! Eeeaaaugh!" Brittany cries. (Kirk loves to hear his victims scream.)
Still, I'm the first to admit that Kirk and his feathered ilk have a good side. They keep bugs, rodents, and college professors indoors where they belong.
Kites first visited New Mexico in the l950s. It is assumed someone paid them to rid the land of all varmints, and I don't blame them. Have you scrutinized a cicada up close? Or a college professor?
Whatever, they're here and I also assume we'll soon be celebrating Mississippi Kite Day memorialized by the New Mexico Legislature in their heady deliberations. Schools and banks will close, parades will sprout, and there'll be dancing in the streets.
Yes, you hear it every spring: "The kites are coming! The kites are coming!" Which shows once and for all that God has a marvelous sense of humor.

Understanding workers' comp
Trust. It is so much more than a five-letter word.
For instance, a patients trust of a doctor is imperative. A salespersons best asset is a customers trust in that person as well as the product. A passenger places trust in the operator of the car, and that operator places trust in the other drivers on the road. Every day, in almost any interaction, there is a component of trust. When someone is hurt at work, trust is imperative. The employee needs to trust in the employer, in the medical provider, and in the claims handler overseeing the claim. Trust is earned through communication.
The key to getting through a work-related injury effectively is communication, says Jennifer Barrett, director of workers compensation risk management at Hickok & Boardman. At the end of the day, all parties want the same resolution, which is for the injured employee to return to work in the same condition they were in prior to the injury. When the communication lines become disconnected, the trust factor between both parties is tested. Assisting your employees through the workers compensation process, with consistent communication, is a great way to build trust.
Rule 3 of the Vermont Workers Compensation Rules requires that Every employer shall file a First Report of Injury (Form 1) with the (Department of Labor) within 72 hours (Sundays and legal holidays excluded) of receiving notice or knowledge of each injury for which an employee loses time from work or requires medical attention. Some employers feel that once the report of injury is made to the insurance carrier, its job as the employer is completed. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. When an employee is injured on the job, the employer must work hard to keep the lines of communication open.
The employer and employee share a common goal when it comes to a workers compensation claim, explains Matt Harmon, assistant vice president of claims for MEMIC Indemnity Company. By keeping an open line of communication between the employer, the injured worker, and the insurance carrier, the parties can work together to ensure that the employee returns to health, and his or her job, as quickly as possible.
An employer can start by having an injury management plan in place in advance of an accident or injury in the workplace. Every employee should know that the employer takes safety seriously and that all incidents and unsafe conditions should be reported immediately. At the very least, when they are injured on the job, workers should know the name and contact information for the person whom they should contact at the employer. The injured worker should also be provided with the name and contact number for the insurance carrier and the name and contact number of the initial medical provider. This information can be easily printed out on a business card size document that fits into a purse or wallet.
Keeping the lines of communication open is relatively simple for any employer by employing the once a week rule. The rule is easy to put into practice: once a week the employer makes telephone contact with all of the employees who are out of work as a result of a workplace injury. The purpose of the contact is not to be intrusive, it is not to be harassing, it is simply to communicate. The person assigned to make the call would say something like, Hello John, this is Sally. Im just checking in from the company to see if you need anything or if there is anything we can do.
Once the employer has checked in with the injured worker, if there is an issue, the employer will likely hear about it. For instance, a check might not have arrived on its usual day, a medical bill may not have been paid, or a prescription reimbursement may not been received. If the employer learns of an issue, there may be an opportunity to take action and improve trust. The employer should contact the claims handler, obtain a resolution or explanation, and then call the employee back to inform the worker of what has happened.
That simple step can be very helpful, according to Barrett. These unfortunate situations can put a large amount of stress on your employees. Your guidance in rectifying these issues that may arise outside of the injury, but as a result of their injury, is monumental in building trust.
Maintaining open lines of communication will keep the matter moving forward in a positive way to achieve the primary goal of returning the injured worker to work safely and as quickly as possible.
Trust may be a five-letter word, but its impact on a claim can be much, much larger than the number of its letters suggests.

I've tried all breastfeeding positions. It's making nursing very frustrating because I have two other children that need care and it's taking me an hour to feed the baby because I'm trying to make sure my breast gets emptied in order to avoid screwing up my milk supply in that breast. I know there is milk in there because I can express it out. Help!

It is strictly forbidden by the international law of car trips to go to the bathroom in a small container inside your vehicle. Do not turn your ride into a restroom on wheels. Too gross.
Get to the nearest rest stop or gas station, where you can fill up the gas tank and bend your body out of its sitting shape.
Road-tripping is a good time to indulge in some snacks you might otherwise avoid. If you never take the kids for fast food, maybe let them have a burger and fries on the road or grab a candy bar.
Or keep it healthy by bringing some carrot sticks and sandwiches, but stop for a cold bottle of water or something to drink.
Sure you can eat and drink in the car, but it's fun to get a yummy snack or a fresh drink when you're stopped anyway.
But be careful, you don't want to see those nibbles coming back up again ...
No. 2: Bring barf bags and Band-Aids
All the bumps on the road and the curves and the hills. And did you eat chicken nuggets then go on the swirly slide?
Kids and throwing up go hand in hand. It's natural, just like how kids eat paste and like to twirl in circles endlessly.
So when you're confined in a car, be prepared. Bring barf bags. And not just one either.
There is almost nothing worse than driving for days or hours or even seconds in a car that smells like vomit. It's a flat-out trip-ruiner.
Bring some plastic bags. Kids puke a lot; it's just part of life.
And children also get scrapes and cuts. You never know when and you can't predict how, but if your child falls or gets hurt, a package of Band-Aids will offer her some relief.
And it might distract her as you continue down the road.
For our final tip, consider driving giving the kids a rest ...
No. 1: Drive by night
All kids get bored sitting in the car for hours. It's like a law of nature; look it up.
No matter how many videos they watch or how many stops you make, there is nothing like a big nap to occupy your kids for a long time.
Traveling at night means they will be sleepy and it'll be dark. Bring a pillow. Even bring some of their favorite bedtime gear, a stuffed animal or favorite blankie.
If you can manage to stay awake yourself, it's a great time to drive.
The downside is that the kids get a good night's sleep, but mom and dad will be extra sleepy the next day. But sometimes it worth it to have some blissful quiet.
Do you remember what it's like to have quiet time? Us either, but we think it sounds nice.

Poor Settling
This last month our SVIs have slowly been increasing. It is now to the point where the clarifiers are bulking. There are no signs of bulking filaments (Type 021N) and very little signs of microorganisms under the microscope. The floc looks extremely dispersed and nothing can seem to attach to what little floc is there.
This is very perplexing because the nitrification/denitrification is doing extremely well. I cannot grasp the fact the autotrophic organisms are having no problems whatsoever. In the past, the autotrophs have always been the organisms first to go when we felt as though something toxic hit the Plant. Usually we see ammonia bleed through in the secondaries. Another unusual note is that our Nitrate numbers have dropped a couple parts. My feeling is that there is more carbon available in the anoxic zone because it is not being assimilated in aeration. Just a thought!!!
All the analyses we have done to find the smoking gun are not showing any unusual differences or higher than normal numbers. Has anybody else seen this anomoly?

A Louisiana family made a startling discovery when they lit a flame next to their faucet -- and the water started on fire.
The Parker family told Shreveport TV station KSLA they've been having problems with their tap water for the past year, but didn't know it was this serious.
"Especially in the morning, you come in and turn the water on and there is so much air pressure in the lines that is just blows water everywhere, you're soaked," said Sarah Evans, who was visiting her parents from out of town.
The Parkers also claim their 17-year-old daughter, Meaghan, has even passed out while doing the dishes.
The family suspects methane gas from a nearby oil and gas company may be leaking into their private well water.
The company, Anadarko Petroleum, told KSLA they would be doing testing to see if there is a leak.
In the meantime, the company has delivered several cases of water to the Parkers and other families nearby.

After the Janet Jackson incident that—well—everyone knows about at this point, there was a streak of quality Super Bowl Halftime acts. Starting with Paul McCartney in 2005, Super Bowl Halftime shows have gone on to feature such respectable artists as The Who, Tom Petty, and Prince.
But, in recent years, Super Bowl Halftime shows have devolved back into the cesspool of flavor of the week pop artists—featuring artists like Bruno Mars, who will be playing the upcoming Super Bowl in New Jersey, and a cameo appearance by LMFAO during Madonna's performance.
This begs the question; who are some acts that would return the Super Bowl half time show to its late 2000's sense of quality?
The following 10 acts are artists who put on excellent half time shows:
11. Spinal Tap
Their performance would be borderline ludicrous, if they were able to find the entrance to the stage. However, the whole "joke band" label would be somewhat difficult for them to overcome—considering how seriously the NFL takes itself.
10. Pearl Jam
Quickly becoming the living fossil from the grunge era, Pearl Jam is renowned as a premier live act with great stage presence. By the off chance that the Super Bowl is ever played at Qwest Field, a half time show by Pearl Jam would be most fitting.
9. Rush
Somewhat outside of the mainstream? Yes.
Would it take a seemingly Herculean effort to set up Neil Peart's mammoth drum set for a relatively brief performance? Yes.
But, Rush's performances are always grandiose and memorable—both traits that the NFL always tries to incorporate into its events.
8. The Dropkick Murphys
The Super Bowl in New Jersey establishes a precedent for a "cold weather Super Bowl". Hence, if Gillette Stadium does end up hosting a Super Bowl in the future, then the Dropkick Murphys—a band that epitomizes what it means to be from Boston—would be an ideal candidate to play the Halftime show.
After all, their theme "Shipping up to Boston" is played at more than just sporting events associated with the aforementioned town.
7. The Police
Yes, this one is slightly cheating due to the fact that Sting has made previous appearances in the Super Bowl Halftime show. Moreover, the classic hit "Message In a Bottle" was played at the same show. However, this was done by Sting, who was backed up the popular nineties band No Doubt.
The band did a reunion tour during the mid-2000's, and a group's reunion isn't unheard of at Super Bowl half time shows—just ask Destiny's Child.
6. Eric Clapton
Clapton is one of the most iconic rock musicians of the twentieth century and one-third of the legendary band, Cream.
He hasn't been as prominent in recent years, but phenomenal guitar playing and his great showmanship would be excellent for the Super Bowl. There aren't many musicians left from the classic rock era, but Clapton is one of the few who attracts youth and adults alike.
5. Led Zeppelin
They performed at a reunion show—minus the late John Bonham—and they are the band that bridged the gap between the blues-inspired bands of the 60's and the heavy metal bands of the 80's.
Most importantly, the on-stage chemistry that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have—even in their later years—is still special.
4. Chris Cornell
Soundgarden is back together, but their generally heavy inclination would repel many viewers. But, Chris Cornell's solo material would be very befitting of the Super Bowl halftime performance—especially if his band could cover some Audioslave tunes.
3. Elvis Costello
His song "Pump it up" essentially pervades professional sporting events. And, his infectious energy mixed with his longevity would be enjoyed by football fans of all ages—a sprawling demographic that current pop artists may be unable to reach.
2. Eminem
His controversial edge has since subsided, and with his more advanced age has come a more "mainstream friendly" dynamic.
Like his now-famous performance he did with Elton John, he would have to censor out many of his profanity-laden songs. And, there would be a limit as to what songs he would be able to perform—there is no likelihood that he would be allowed to perform "The Real Slim Shady".
But, his popularity and his modern-day relevance would bring a sense of excitement to the Super Bowl Halftime show.
1. Van Halen
With infectious energy and awe-inspiring guitar pyrotechnics, Van Halen would rock the Halftime show like few others would be able. Moreover, they already have experience playing in arena-style venues.
The combination of Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth would create one of the most memorable performances to date.

text:
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I have leftover Fenugreek, Nettle Leaves, Mothers Milk Tea, and Blessed Thistle. These did not work for me, so I would be willing to send them to someone that it does work for. All I ask is that you pay for the cost of shipping the items. To make things easier, i'd put them in zip lock bags in padded envelopes (hopefully this is 'legal'?) I know it may seem a little odd, but i figured we are pretty much 'family' here in a lot of ways!
First come first serve on the items! Happy posting!

Return to Iowa's Mississippi River Towns
Iowa towns first sprang to life along the Mississippi River. The river brought in the new immigrants, tobacco from down south, logs from up north. The river powered the mills that turned out thousands of feet of sawed lumber. Few people expected to spend a life time in a log cabin, so only milled lumber could form the type of houses people really wanted. Iowa had an abundance of hardwoods and many of these trees were felled by farmers and hauled to nearby mills to be cut. But many people looked upon the hardwoods as useful only in the construction of furniture or coffins—not houses. The vast pine forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota satisfied Iowa's demands for the more easily worked soft woods. The Mississippi River was an excellent means of floating the giant log rafts down to the mills along Iowa's border. Men who guided the raft had to know every snag and bend in the river, and after a few years many of them became riverboat pilots. Steamboat captains and raft pilots were the true heroes in those days.

July 3, 2012 —
It has been the stated position of the Comprehensive Plan Committee of the Town of Callicoon that the survey taken three years ago does not provide enough information to determine whether the majority of the town is opposed to or in favor of gas drilling.
At a public hearing on the proposed comprehensive plan update on June 27, 44 people spoke against allowing drilling in the town and 10 spoke in favor of it. While a couple of the speakers were from out of town, even without them the margin was still four to one opposed to drilling.
For some, that is evidence enough that the majority is against drilling and it should be banned from the town, as has been the case in Tusten, Lumberland and Bethel. Bruce Ferguson of Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy said that of the people who commented on gas drilling on the survey, 88% were against it.
He added that with petitions being presented to the town that night, there were approximately 500 people expressing opposition to drilling and hydraulic fracturing. He suggested there could be legal action if the committee or the board takes action in opposition to the will of the majority.
(According to the 2012 census, there are 3057 residents in the town.)
Resident Alvin Shoop said that questions about how the population feels about drilling could be cleared up with a new survey, one concerned with whether people were for or against drilling or had no opinion. Shoop said he had guarantees from various people to cover some of the $2800 cost, and a show of hands indicated many other people would pitch in.
Former Sullivan County Legislator David Sager told the committee that elected and appointed officials in the town, according to New York Municipal Home Rule law, have a duty to protect the safety and well-being within the town. He suggested that updating the plan in a way that invites drilling into the town, also invites lawsuits from those who might be harmed by it.
The issue brought forward people who don't normally turn out to town meetings. Pablo Ramirez, a member of the seasonal community of Swiss Forest in Shandelee, presented a petition with 40 signatures of residents there who were opposed to drilling. The reasons for his opposition were repeated throughout the meeting: the protection of the air, water and beauty of the area.
The 10 people who spoke in favor of drilling repeated the assertion that it poses no danger and will provide jobs and money. Earl Meyers, a farmer, indicated that the farmers who were at the meeting hold a special place in the town. "We own most of the land," he said.
Legislator Cindy Gieger, however, was one farmer who spoke strongly, as she has in the past, against drilling.
Judging by past experience, it is unlikely that the committee will change the proposed plan to reflect the majority view at the meeting that drilling should be banned, and the invitation for industrial activity to move into the town will likely remain.
The next step in the process is for the committee to present the plan to the town board, which then must hold another public hearing on it within 90 days.

"I am a convert to the Catholic Church and barely knew the basics about the faith. I have learned so much since I have been listening to Catholic Answers Live. Thank you for answering my questions and helping me better understand my faith."
~ Brenda, Vancouver, WA
"Meg, I have borne a long time with thy husband; I have reasoned and argued with him in these points of religion, and still given to him my poor fatherly counsel, but I perceive none of all this able to call him home; and therefore, Meg, I will no longer dispute with him, but will clean give him over and get me to God and pray for him."
~ Sir Thomas More, Knight, Lord Chancellor of England, author and martyr; to his daughter Meg, regarding her husband, William Roper. To these prayers Roper attributed his return to the Faith; thereafter he was an ardent Catholic.
