Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
How long relief -- bubble up again. -- there -- -- going to the movement that you're defending it. Let precision. I -- from the but it's great though this grave. Denied knowledge doing. You know. He's been there were some. There is a great piece in today's Boston Herald written by Michael Silverman I recommended -- haven't had a chance to read it yet. And it's about the incomparable Mariano Rivera. Who was the greatest closer in the history of the game not even an argument not even a discussion there's no other names you can bring up there's no one you can even. I mean don't even try it's impossible he's the greatest reliever in the history of the game. And people know him I've only talked to him like twice in my life I don't know and -- and even better person and he is a player and that seems hard to believe it's been such. A nice week for him the all star game you know going out -- told warmup in the eight inning. And the other players on the team staying off the field so that he was the only guy out there in the ovation he gotten. And even if the MVP award of the all star game was a lifetime achievement award I applaud the members of the media for giving it to one had no problems with -- at all. He's got a bit of a farewell tour this year. Although why he's retiring is beyond me -- I'm I just don't get it can is seed looks like he's he's still play a lot. But he's not a farewell tour. And his idea of a farewell -- not to collect mementos and not collect gifts from opposing teams as he goes around. It's to gather people it's to gather souls its -- -- our hearts. He had a get together at Fenway yesterday and one of the luxury suites before the game long before the game obviously. Any met with cancer patients and Boston Marathon bombing victims. And long time Red Sox employees. And it was just take casual sit down conversation. With the greatest relief pitcher in the history of the game. And and him inspiring them but I get the sense reading Michael -- -- drawing more inspiration from them. It it it he is the most amazing guy and it -- and I had this discussion went on the air in the history of Boston sports. Any sport. Any any game anything you wanna you wanna refer to. There has never been an opponent. As beloved as Mariano Rivera is for the New York Yankees. And my response was there's guys who legends and sports -- so don't know and my point is -- legends sports. Who the Boston fans of certainly sent often appreciated. But because the dynamic. That is this is the guy that you bring competing against and the biggest rivalry that -- Sports certainly did that team has. Arguably an elite police team in town that would anybody. You've gone head to head with him he's been so good and so classy along with everything he's done in the game that's why I don't think there's anything that. -- the only guy who's close and detector brings him up and I and I was gonna bring him up myself the only guy who's even close is Magic Johnson. And you go back to the bird retirement night match of being here and having the Celtics T shirt on. Under his warmup jacket all that he's the only guy can think of -- even close. As far as respect and even love from Boston fans for. Real rival opponent. But even he's not the same as Rivera the ovation that Red Sox fans gave him as he came in from the bullpen last night last night was terrific I loved it. He'll probably get one again tonight if he comes in from the bullpen even though you know when he's coming in from the bullpen. Chances are you're gonna lose the game. And what might have been the separated dale. It's 2005 absolutely and it is bizarre to say eight years ago this is what the missiles are what define this guy in regards to Boston fans. Buy it this was you -- me of what he stands for a class in and there the spirit of competition and everything about it. There is no off shocks you know thanks guys it was flat out I tip my hat to you thank you for plotting me. And we we you know this was a low point in my career. I'm gonna bounce back and -- is mylan and laugh you and you got me this time I'll get you another time and you might get me again. This is now -- have for people who don't remember -- talking about after the Red Sox won the World Series. There their opening game the following year was against the Yankees the receiving their rings. And Red Sox fans kind of gave Mariano Rivera the the raspberry each year because of his issues. Closing games in the ALCS the year before and David Ortiz getting to Mariano Rivera. And yeah they were cheering him when he came out like hey thank you for the World Series ring. Any smiled and laughed and tipped his hat and and from that moment on your right. I think he kind of endeared himself anyway just because he's that humble gracious personality. But from that point on Red Sox fans love the -- And I went does the -- it saved there's no questions they've lost a game this year. We talked about the -- Well the home run derby -- the start there and I don't want to divert too far from the path of Mariano. The home run derby three hours one of them. Stupidest thing in sports and I understand why they do it because the TV but it should be now and what they also should do. No question about it. You get two guys on each side who likes who spent his this year which are. Even on the all star team -- home run hitters you put him on the team. You get one guy from the minor leagues put among a team that you get one guy who's retired you put him on the team there's your home run derby. That was awful. Mariano saved the all start -- game and one of the small things that I know is being there. I've always railed against these guys leaving early in the fifth and sixth inning for game accounts. Well guess what you guys laughter. Two guys left before Mariano and that's why they stay. Yet I don't they stayed because of him I don't think is any question about it. And Robinson -- Athens -- -- you can argue that he he was -- and he -- -- common and that anyway. Miguel Cabrera -- I've no idea what he left. But that was it. That was it and then you talk to guys after the game. The only conversation after that game was about what he saw and like you said dale the instant where. Nobody came on the field he was just on the field by himself a great great moment which happened organically violated it was nothing planned. And then the speech that he gave before the game which -- hundred set up that's all anybody talked about about that. The guys sit around him in the circle there that day like it was story timer -- some -- Clay Buchholz said that told me after the game he had a great line he just said. And there's forty guys this all star game is the All Star Games nice to meet the -- team. But they're going to be forty or so guys we're going to be able to say they were in this clubhouse -- Mariano Rivera gave that speech. There have been great athletes who have retired before they had to. Barry Sanders from football. Com Ken Dryden from hockey there have been great players. Who have left the sport when they still have a lot again but they weren't 43 either I and that's 43 year old. Is still may be the best closer in the game that I might be and I watch him and I just think the maybe just doesn't have the firing more maybe he just doesn't wanna go through it anymore. Probably what what it is not a couple myself through what I have to do to be ready to play at the highest level. Every single game every year. But I look at him and I go why would he -- We have to also go back to -- when he made that decision. Here's coming off that surgery come -- off the -- problem and it tremendous amount of effort to do you do whatever you can to make that one line that last year count. And he had probably -- no idea how is gonna translate translating tremendously for him. But I gotta think that when he made that decision is used probably exhausted from the three -- that OK you know what we'll do one more time. What are Phil talk him out of it and in that and not the they'll try -- what if he'll talk himself out of you go we've seen it time and time again guys do it whether it's magic or whether it stored in or whoever. But because of all the things that we talked about about his character in the way he's always handled himself I got a thing now. I guessing this is the exception to the rule where this guy basically he's he's very definitive and everything he does this is there. So I that's that's my -- It says what he means and means what he -- exactly. But the little -- get together he had yesterday at Fenway with the people that he talked to. And he told the story as he's going out of Fenway Park. Friday night. In the east too high school baseball players are waiting for and they ask him to sign a Jersey for a team high school baseball teammate who's battling cancer. And who may not have long to live and of course Mario signed -- -- and was gracious about it it's always. But he had progressed yesterday he was sorry yesterday. -- was kicking himself because he didn't turn around and take the Jersey back into the clubhouse and have everybody else -- And that's what he was beat himself up about that he didn't take it back -- And get everybody else on the team to sign -- so that the kids could present it to their teammate in that regard. That's the way things go. And we go back the all star game I remember years -- I think it was was doing top ten all star moments and there were some great ones. The number one I believe was the Ted Williams moment. And Fenway Park in 1999. I in it it always was for me because I I was there and those follow -- there at night you know everything about it right. Well you wondered you wonder where that ranks now I certainly in the top trio. I think Marat animal. Certainly it's in the top two doesn't go to number one because of that moment on the field by his -- it was just so perfect what made it unbelievable to me. Was that it was such a perfect. Perfectly XQ -- moment. That wasn't planned yet it just happen you know -- you don't why that was erect it was same with the -- -- right when the players just. Exact and urged. In you know what made it happen was the god awful appearance by Neil Diamond. Because if Neil Diamond doesn't come out and have that pause in the -- players on the field you don't necessarily get that. That was -- is the first time in history Neil Diamond is open for Metallica. This and right after -- thanks to enter sandman heads and a good -- -- you take credit for that I do a whole does a pretty good I like that and it's sound it's so weird to hear it. I mean the minute deal stopped to say it ended it Metallica hits in here comes Mariano a lot of the pan involvement in this it was bad I mean that part was India lost. Square where. They -- it's a new -- -- where in the bottle and then they're being talked out of bullied by the PA announcer who then asked to turn it into a support for Boston. Which you know in in theory is spying but the people in New York don't want not now when it was happening in April was different well I'm this canosa -- and Michael. -- -- Terrible terrible terrible thing the -- something there's a lot of stuff that happened this year. As the wild fires says the stuff in west Texas. You know there's a lot of stuff that happened and on okay honor would Neil Diamond on the Boston bombings on the other things to. And that Neil Diamond thing just this -- was excuse I was terrible but the saving grace of it wise. That it was a perfect prelude to watch Mariano did which is coming on the field by himself no players around players. Decided they weren't gonna come on the field just let him have his do we know who was in the dugout and on and nobody wait here wait here nobody. They all just they would they'd do they basically looked down at each other. And saw nobody was going now. And they state. And that's that was a tremendous and you ask the players after the game. To a man they all say the same thing. It -- harder with the guy who was on perceived as the leader of that team he gave the speech before the game and set up the speech from are not Mariano. If he was a wanna said I I am telling you that this was not plan that we did not say anything we just looked at each other new wasn't -- to go -- 6177797937. Is the telephone number you can text us whenever you like on the AT&T text line at 37937. You're always welcome to reach out to either of us by way of our Twitter feeds act Brad fall. Or at dale. We're gonna dive right into it with you coming up next it's sports Sunday here -- one Sports Radio WEEI. We'll definitely have a lot of those -- -- look for and against Iran -- -- fishermen for. He found there and it's still an army. Reagan's and again the -- for him come here is that this. Bottle thing and beautiful hands -- man. Russell Preston you have everything wrong the NBA being -- on his right side myself. Reagan's. -- Like everybody else when when Jim Leyland brought Mariano Rivera into the eighth inning the other night I was a little surprised and then I thought it -- -- -- the TV I was sort of half yelling at TV and tell. My brain clicked him. And realized what Leland was trying to make sure was that you got to. I mean if you god forbid you know the American League X I wonder is the lead in the -- inning guy it's a three run homer. You have a chance you've got to me he has to pitch -- he has to get into the game several techsters claimed that it was Leland who orchestrated. The players staying in the -- and you say that's not well. Jim Leland did a good job of setting it up in regards to getting amendment the right time. And all I know is that I sat there in front of these players and players and -- that stood in front of they all said the same thing. Which is there was an organic annulment and including I keep matching Torii Hunter -- honor. Is the guy it was the guy would orchestrating a lot of things and -- -- I I must've listened to him for 2030 minutes. Repeat the same stories over and over again and that's one of them you just said list that nobody did. Our let's get to the call 617779793. Sevenths telephone number. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Killing the course. He is at minus five for the day already has climbed to even two shots off the pace. And is just clobbering the course right and he's doing in fancy pants he's always doing right now let's get too old -- if I could ever get. Like ever gets down in the break. You and we talked a lot of break Pryor gets out he's won the clip you thing looked. He sprayed in the Heather it's straight in the had to say spree as my new Twitter handle -- -- if Steve's at Rosalind they'll speed Europe first this morning on sports on. I don't I see you are right I'd like to talk about given the respect everybody has Mariano Rivera. Yes I'm I'm telling you right now and I guarantee it where Derek Jeter retires. Austin will give him a ticket to a patient you've ever -- life. They -- they'll absolutely give him an ovation. But I don't think that he's more respected -- revered -- Rivera. I I absolutely do because I work what a bunch of guys and you know construction group and it's got a built levee goes. And I apply here right now we don't have that heat that we used to have for the Yankees back in the seventies because. You know free agency. Really hates anybody on the other team anymore except -- may be -- you know. But on because it's free agency we read we respect the Yankees but we don't really don't believe we used to because. Like I agree with all of that they are not a hate -- -- as a group and and I Anderson I agree with everything you're saying -- Steve the only disagreement you and I have. And I agree with you that Derek Jeter is widely respected. By Red Sox fans Rivera is loved. Yeah he's up there and I believe I'm Derek Jeter is too and I'm you know it's going to be a wait and see -- -- but I'll -- he gets a -- rotation and Mario and are rare. All Steve Imus say something it's always under on these airwaves I respectfully disagree. And and the reason is is because -- hoping we talked about earlier. Which is that 2005 moment I think that would that was a separate letter. I mean it did Jeter and in Rivera same boat and a lot of respects but that moment. That was the difference maker for me and I think for the Boston fans. Well -- and after you obviously he -- is the playoffs in 2004. Epic collapse. And then 2005. Opening day -- opener Fenway. He tips his hat to the crowd. You know they cheer them. -- it was a great moment -- it was it was a unique moment in a well executed moment by great player. And don't misunderstand what we're saying here because and bite him ma am not speaking for album speaking for myself I got nothing bad to say about Derek Jeter nothing. I've -- respect him as an opponent very much. I admire the way he plays the game very much I think he's vastly overrated. In some respects I mean the gold club thing is a joke for most -- all of baseball the joke. But. As great as he's been and as as blunted an opponent as seaspan. Mariano Rivera has been better and -- here's another thing yeah I think it factors in two of how they're leaving the game. The way that Derek -- trending right now is not gonna not so good now he's not leaving the gain out on top. In respect how he's playing Mariano it's I think that the Boston fans also factor that in. Our policy in Westfield papal I don't. That didn't or good morning neither one. Eight haven't joked around the producer but I have my questions simple and bonded or we discussed. Summary background Hernandez. Where -- situated in the seat in terms of how many games left. Before we get to go to the playoffs. With the -- are. Before you get to go in the -- it is. That's the other -- six the three. -- like that. All of that many I didn't realize that I thought we had a lot of us. I I get I I get the joke it's it -- them a stop my sides and the key -- In other words you're saying that that Red Sox fans are getting a little ahead of themselves it's not the playoffs yet and I understand that all you can do is judge on where they are right now. And I couldn't be happier and I either they're learning to work together as a -- and it seems to be working well. Well you know Paul. We talked about how would should you be that worried over these injuries because they've had injuries throughout the entire season this start to pile up the -- pile up. The one fail safe driving for Red Sox fans is that every single time to be in face of adversity. They've they've been able to bounce back from -- it is pretty remarkable now the question is has this latest round of injuries. Put them over the edge especially with -- coming down. No you know what we think he's that we SEC three games left and that's an intermittent factor which we do bounce back from. Salute in the united somewhat mr. Hernandez -- -- it that he's and then the other chip they're going crazy about the bomber. He's what you earned innocent person that's not a statement that the bad decision. When I glorifying and that's horrible to think that. Okay I'm don't quite know where that came from but now -- -- don't -- -- Is that that was I didn't I didn't see the tie in with why didn't. -- I started a Christian and as the Pawtucket probably not yeah probably wasn't talking about him 6177797937. AT&T tax minus 37937. Ricky said Hyde Park hey Ricky I don't. Good -- it's all very well thank you. Question quietly put out I'm bracing myself for city -- anything that you made a comment like that in fourteen games and oh yeah. Now what they want that would what they want. Liked close Korea like -- and I know we leave and it went up like full ray Bork. I disagree -- compliment talks. -- how exactly would be clear waivers since I mean years that everybody on waivers in August. Do you think that that Mariano Rivera is gonna clear waivers he can pick it up because that. I there's no and he says Serbia and that they -- economic player option they have a chance to. And the Yankees are -- are gonna trade Mariano Rivera and as though there's a lot of probably at least. -- -- like I liked the originality but there's a lot of wasted a lot of issues you have to deal with it you know -- -- interesting thing is. A couple of years ago. It the Red Sox actually made a two year offer they tried -- in front side of his free agent. Now it was pretty much understood that he wasn't gonna go anywhere pretty much understood they were just trying to William Jonathan Papelbon at the time and the Yankees. -- -- Yes yes it is. But it is well I can't give me the reasons why not quite there about a hundred. You can't get him after. The end of this month. Policy clears waivers and why the heck would be clear waivers. Anybody who's even got half the chance at a playoff spot. Is gonna put in a waiver claim on a guy who's a free agent at the end of the season. And says he's gonna retire every -- let's face it all just say this to say that the Red Sox the Yankees could trade him to the Red -- for dollar with no ramifications. Easy this year the dollar. Here's Rivera. It wouldn't happen. But the Yankees would never do think he is that that's one of the great things about Rivera is that he's big one team with one team the entire time. That one of many many grace. Things and end and to. Use your ray Bork analogy it's not like he's never won before well you know it's not like -- guy at the end of his career who just wants one last three and upper 42 to grab a cup. You know Mariano Rivera is one just a little bit in his career now he's not being traded anywhere for one thing. That the fans of New York is. As Blase as they can be at times would stay warm. The offices. There at Yankee Stadium and never never gonna. -- never funnel it to think about I mean it's fun to dream about if you're Red Sox fan Mariano Rivera pitching and Red Sox a -- -- -- -- hang onto that thought for awhile he can try Ali we talked about it for now we tried we gave aren't given a best effort. 6177797937. -- telephone number. AT&T text line is 37937. Our Twitter feeds -- hop already act Brad Fo app dale. Hop on board will get in touch with you wouldn't just couple of minutes here on Sports Radio W media.

cnc aluminium chassis for tube amps
3 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
I´ve been thinking of cnc routing chassis from aluminium plates for a while and finally got down to making two prototypes.Ones is 3mm aluminium and the other one is milled out of dibond (two thin sheets of aluminium with a compostite core).Routed lines are just for fun or aesthetics,the holes are for volume input output connection to power supply etc.
I could produce these or a "standard" model according to what most people want for a very reasonable price,sizes can be modified easily.I know this should be in the vendors forum but I am still not selling anything,just wondering if people would be interested (and like me don´t enjoy so much the chassis part of the amp...).
Criticism and opinions are welcome,the ones in the picture are 200 x 140mm (sorry about the metric dimensions).Shipping would´nt be an issue seeing it ships in a flat envelope.
Thanks for your help.
piker - the real has deal machined grooves for pressed in solid teflon insulation for the solid silver "wire"
Hey, those look nice. I like the lines, although in my (wood heat) house they would be filled with dust...
BTW: never apologize for using metric. Only apologize for using stupid old SAE ;)
never though about the dust...
jcx,I ´m not sure I understand your post,missing something there.
Anyone know what is the most used octal socket?
very nice....any custom work?
200 x 140mm is pretty small though. Can you do bigger? Would you only be providing the top plate or the whole enclosure?
I agree, the metric system is easy and efficient, but it is still fun to see young kids in today's generation do fractions. Half of them scratch their head.
Yes 200x140 is pretty small.The idea is to find a "standard" dimension.I would just provide the top plate for the moment.Might improve the design so that you can ship it flat and fold down the sides,could be an option.
Still need to which are the most used octal sockets and noval sockets...Anyone got a clue?
I was using, with good result, a 25mm DeWalt tubular drill to mount chinese ceramic octal sockets (top mount) For underside mounting will probably need 27mm or so.
For a small SE amp, a 200 X 300 mm plate will be around Ok
Ask the customer to send a CAD draft with detailed lay out & dimension data, in order to avoid any misunderstanding & sent back items.

Netscape adds security features
Page Tools
A new version of the Netscape browser, the early leader in the field, was launched on Thursday with updates aimed at fighting viruses, spyware and other security problems.
Netscape, which is owned by the America Online unit of Time Warner, takes a page from the growing Firefox browser, with which it shares many technical origins.
The Netscape 8.0 browser "automatically adjusts safety and security settings to help protect users as they explore the web," an AOL statement said.
AOL, which acquired Netscape after the founding company lost out to Microsoft in the "browser wars," said the latest version of the program "seamlessly and automatically switches between the rendering engines used by the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers."
"Netscape 8.0 is designed for the millions of online users who are searching for a safer and better browser," said Netscape general manager Jeremy Liew.
"Netscape 8.0 combines the best of all worlds by automatically adjusting browser and security settings based on which sites are likely to be safe and which might be dangerous. By warning users before they visit many potentially dangerous sites, Netscape 8.0 adds an extra layer of protection to a user's computer."
AOL said the new browser helps protect against viruses, spyware and other schemes including "phishing," in which users are lured to a fraudulent or "spoofed" website that looks like a legitimate one in order to steal personal data.
The new Netscape browser "automatically checks to see if the site is on a constantly updated 'blacklist' of thousands of suspected virus, scam, or spyware sites or a 'white list' of more than 150,000 websites that have been certified as legitimate" by security experts.
Netscape, which was once the dominant Web browser, now has only about two percent of the US market, according to a survey this month by the research firm WebSideStory.
Microsoft had nearly 89 per cent and Firefox, a product of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, had nearly seven per cent.

How To Install a Gas Burning Wall Heater
Gas-burning wall heaters come in two basic categories: Direct vent, and standard or conventional vent. Direct vent wall heaters mount to the wall and vent directly through the wall to the atmosphere. Usually, a power vent fan forces the combustion gases out the vent. The same terminal fitting that directs combustion gases to the atmosphere brings fresh air into the sealed combustion chamber of the unit for proper combustion. Standard or conventional vented gas-burning appliances direct their combustion gases to the atmosphere through a standard single wall or double-wall (B-vent) gravity vent pipe without the use of a power vent.
- Choose the prper location for the wall heater taking into consideration availability of electrical, the exterior vent termination and routing of the gas line.
- Size the appliance gas line to accommodate the new heater as well as all the existing gas appliances. The entire gas pipe system may need to be increased in size to accommodate the new gas heater.
Installing the gas piping
- Route the new gas line to the appliance location. Terminate the gas line in a gas shut-off valve.
- Plug the gas shut-off valve and test the new gas installation according to Uniform Mechanical Code testing standards or the standards in effect in your area.
- After testing and inspection, connect the new gas piping into the existing system.
Preparing for the vent termination
- Using a template usually included with the wall heater, mark the location of the unit vent where it passes through the outside wall.
- Cut the vent hole with a sabre saw or sawzall.
Mounting the wall heater
- Mark the mounting locations on the wall. Use the supplied template to locate the mounts properly.
- Disassemble the wall heater.
- Assemble the vent pipe to the heater vent collar. Use the appropriate gaskets or duct sealant as directed by the manufacturer installation instructions.
- Mount the wall heater securely to the wall with the proper fasteners such that the vent pipe extends through the outside wall.
- Connect the gas line to the wall heater gas valve with hard piping or an approved gas flex connector.
Installing the vent termination fitting
- On the outside of the house, slide the vent termination fitting over the end of the vent pipe assembly.
- Fasten the vent termination flange to the siding using the appropriated plated or galvanized fasteners.
- Caulk the seam where the vent termination flange meets the outside wall.
Make certain that the vent termination will be located the proper distance from windows, doors, exhaust fan terminations and other openings into the home as well as the ground.
Verify that the exhaust termination will not be obstructed by shrubbery, trees or other landscaping features.
In most cases, wall heaters are classified as supplemental heating units. This means they are designed primarily to augment the home's primary central heating unit. Any attempt to use a supplemental heating unit as a sole source of heat in a room or occupied space will usually result in unsatisfactory operation. Condensation may build up in the unit and on the floor below causing damage to the floor, the unit, or both.

installing vessel sink drain?! (HELP!)
We're installing a vessel sink in our bathroom - so far we've successfully connected the faucet (no leaks!). However, we can't figure out the drain. It's an American Standard white vessel sink with an overflow. There are holes cut in the drain (for the overflow, obviously) - however, the sink came without instructions. :(
We've got a rubber washer/seal, a hard plastic ring, a drain with a long metal pipe, and a metal nut that holds it all together. We're puzzled. Where does the rubber seal go? Does it rest inside of the sink (between the two layers of porcelain?) or does it go underneath the countertop?
If anyone's installed these sinks (it's the three-in-one vessel sink from Home Depot), please send your advice our way.
Rubber washer should go on botton side of sink.
Listen you should use plumbers putty on the top of the sink. Roll it out in your hand like a snake then run it around top of the metal pipe before sitting into sink. When you tightened it down from underneath it will start to uzz out thats ok it is suppose to.

Bishops Promise To Continue 'Vigorous Efforts' Against HHS Violations of Religious Freedom in Health Care Reform MandateWASHINGTON—The U.S. bishops are strongly united in their ongoing and determined efforts to protect religious freedom, the Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) said in a March 14 statement.
The Administrative Committee, chaired by Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, president of the USCCB, is the highest authority of the bishops' conference outside the semi-annual sessions of the full body of bishops. The Committee's membership consists of the elected chairmen of all the USCCB permanent committees and an elected bishop representative from each of the geographic regions of the USCCB.
The full statement can be found at www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/upload/Admin-Religious-Freedom.pdf and www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/march-14-statement-on-religious-freedom-and-hhs-mandate.cfm

Hike for Life Texas-Brownsville Scheduled March 24Hike for Life Texas-Brownsville will be held at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 24 at Dean Porter Park, 501 E. Ringgold St. Bishop Daniel E. Flores will serve as a guest speaker for the event. Hike for Life Texas - Brownsville is an extension of Hike for Life Texas. Since 1973, Hike for Life Texas has been at the forefront of the battle against abortion and the culture of death.
In Sept. 2010, Brownsville residents Martin and Angie Leal attended a Hike for Life event in Dallas. The Leals found that the closest Hike for Life Texas event was in the Austin area. They approached their pastor, Father Jose Luis Garcia of Christ the King Parish in Brownsville about starting an event in Brownsville.
Father Garcia gave them his blessing and support. The Leals gathered friends and family as well as local Knights of Columbus Councils, and on April 2, 2011 the first Hike for Life was held. More than 200 people from across the Valley participated in the event, raising more than $5,000. The money raised was used as seed money for the Christ the King Crisis Pregnancy Center in Brownsville, which is expected to open soon. A board of directors has been selected, volunteer counselors are being recruited, and a location for the center has been secured.
The proceeds from this year's hike for life will be used to further the mission of the pregnancy center. Please register at www.hikeforlifetexas.com or contact Martin Leal at (956) 459-2926 for more information.

St. Pius X Church Hosts Passion Play April 1St. Pius X Church in Weslaco is sponsoring two performances of the Passion Play on Sunday, April 1 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Weslaco ISD Performance Arts Center. Tickets may be purchased at the St. Pius X Parish Office for $3.
Two Performances of "Sound" Set for April 28St. Pius X Church in Weslaco is sponsoring two performances of the play, "Sound" which deals with the realities of bullying. "Sound," written by Mount Carmel students and Father Benjamin Aguilar, O. Carm., will be performed by Mount Carmel's Caravan Alley Players at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 28 at the WISD Performing Arts Center.
The story of "Sound" centers on the new kid in town, Andrew, who quickly becomes a target for ridicule and humiliation by the popular crowd at his high school and receives abuse from four bullies on a daily basis.
"It is important for people to learn that bullying is an unfortunate reality for too many kids," said Father Aguilar when asked about the importance of the show. "We have to face the fact that bullying is real and traumatic. Yes, it's always been around, but today, because of the ubiquitous nature of cyber-technology, our kids may have to relive many of their childhood traumas later on in life. Once a threat or an abuse becomes a digital tattoo, no laser treatment in the world can erase it."
The play uses adult language and explores themes that are not meant for audiences under the age of 13. Anyone under 13 years of age must have a release signed by their parents. The form can be obtained where tickets are purchased. Tickets are available at St. Pius X Church and at the Catholic high schools in the Valley – St. Joseph Academy in Brownsville, Oratory Athenaeum in Pharr and Juan Diego Academy in Mission.

Immortal Defense — a Tower Defense Game
"The brief text sequences between levels carries the story--to fight in "pathspace," you have foregone your body and normal existence, and the concerns of the people who are sworn to defend seem increasingly irrelevant to you, in this very different existence. I typically think this kind of backstory is irrelevant (and often poorly written), but here it's almost haunting--nicely done." - Greg Costikyan
A psychological, character-driven storyline. Each tower type is a different emotion or part of your mind. Level editor with Steam workshop to easily share and download new campaigns. Steam cards, hand-painted in watercolor, and achievements which grant gameplay bonuses.
Adjustable difficulty. Optional, hidden side campaigns. Secrets for the ages. Twenty six weird, unique types of enemies. The twenty hours of gameplay for you translate into millions of years of experience for Subject K.
How to get a Steam Key: if you previously purchased the game from this site, email rinkuhero @ gmail dot com and request a Steam Key. Be sure to include either your original purchase information, or the email that you purchased the game using. These will be processed manually, so allow up to 24 hours for a reply. I will start to send them out after the game's August 31 Steam release. NOTE: This is not available for people who got the game for free through the "Game Giveaway of the Day" website, because I don't have access to that information. This is only for people who bought the game from my site (either at a set price or during that pay what you want thing). If you bought the game from Direct2Drive, Reflexive, or other third-party sites, I won't have your email, but if you still have the purchase information from them, you can send that to me.

Harbor views and hearty fare are what you'll find at this cozy waterfront B&B in Depoe Bay.
The Destination
Just two hours from Portland, the harbor of Depoe Bay, Oregon, is the self-proclaimed "smallest navigable harbor in the world"—but its beauty runs on a much larger scale. Dozens of boats bob in the safe swells after travelling through a narrow rock channel, only to return to the open sea for fishing and whale-watching excursions. Back on shore, the Whale Watching Center provides floor-to-ceiling windows and knowledgeable exhibits of the thousands of gray whales who migrate to and from the harbor—even the curved shoulders of Highway 101 can provide a stage for nearly year-round sightings. After the show, squeeze a fresh lemon over your seafood dinner and walk the quiet small-town streets, scented with ocean air from the Pacific.
The Digs
Aptly named for its perch overlooking the Depoe Bay, the romantic Harbor Lights Inn is a traditional bed and breakfast within walking distance of the town's main attractions. In the morning, rise from your bed, pull on a cozy robe while using the inn's complimentary Wi-Fi, and enjoy the views of the harbor from your window. Start your day in the dining room, where you can feast on eggs Benedict, spiced pancakes, or fluffy omelets. Head out for a day of sightseeing—and when you return, stretch out on the patio to watch this small harbor's big sunset.

First Pitch: Monday 8:10, Tuesday 8:10, Wednesday 8:10
Arms: Monday: Felix Doubront, LHP (1-1, 5.19 ERA) vs. Jonathan Sanchez, LHP (1-1, 5.24 ERA)
Tuesday: Daniel Bard, RHP (2-3, 4.38 ERA) vs. Danny Duffy, LHP (2-2, 3.57 ERA)
Wednesday: Jon Lester, LHP (1-2, 4.62 ERA) vs. Bruce Chen, LHP (0-4, 4.98 ERA)
The Matchup
Last time
The Red Sox won 3-for-4 in Kansas City in mid-August.No one had a huge series, but there were some great single game performances. Pedey went 3-for-4 with a double and 3 RBI in game 1. Adrian Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and an RBI in game 2. Carl Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI in game 3. Darnell McDonald closed out the series going 3-for-5 with a solo homer. Of course none of that matters, and a series win this season will be huge for the Sox.
This time
Laser Show: David Ortiz
Don't Fall Behind: Danny Duffy
The better of the 3 pitchers going for the Royals in this series. Duffy will have the Sox guessing more than Chen or Sanchez, but could crack if the Sox can make him work.
How we see it goin' down
The Royals suck at home and the Sox are much better on the road. Boston should have the upper hand but will not sweep. The Sox will get a much needed series win with a tough loss mixed in.

Northland was the unlucky team at the Toro Men's Golf Interprovincials finishing in sixth place, being undone by the performance of Tasman after earlier upsetting the home team at the Otago Golf Club.
Northland gave themselves every opportunity to make the semifinals after toppling Otago, Canterbury and Poverty Bay before they were dealt the cruel blow by Tasman.
After being beaten by Northland first up, Tasman looked dead and buried after two rounds of the championship after a loss and a half but won four straight matches in convincing fashion to be the form team heading into the playoffs.
President of Northland Men's Golf, and team manager, Roy Pelsky said they had to win both of their matches in the lead up to the semis, which they did, but missed out after Tasman upset Bay of Plenty.
"We did our part. We knew coming into the last day we had to win both matches, and if we did that it was in the hands of the other matches," Pelsky said.
"We were hoping Bay of Plenty would beat them in the morning, but that didn't happen. Tasman are a good team, [and] we were one of the few teams to beat them this year."
Pelsky said Northland's win over Otago was a highlight with Brad Bonnington and Luke Brown stepping up in pressure situations.
"Brad [Bonnington] chipped in for a birdie and their guy missed a six foot putt, which set us up with Luke Brown playing the last match."
They were all squared up on the last when Brown saved par, the pressure proving too much as Otago's golfer went on to bogey.
"Really proud of the boys and with their results. I couldn't ask for much more than that," said Pelsky.
"These young guys are our top golfers.
"Not only are they playing at junior level, they're playing at senior level and they're only 17 with Kadin [Neho] only 15. Our boys have had a good year and this is a good result for us."
Northland's sixth place is their best finish since 1987 when they made the semifinals at Mt Denby Whangarei Golf Club, last year they finished eighth.

In another thread I found this pattern for slippers which look nice and seem easy enough to knit up in just a few days. I figured it would be great to be able to wear something like those on my plane ride to South Africa since I tend to get chilly on airplanes and i don't like to have to keep my shoes on for 12+ hours when I'm not walking anywhere anyway...
But I don't understand the increase in the second stitch and in every stitch part: which increase do I use (I looked on the page with Amy's videos and there are so many) and exactly does it mean to do the increase in every second stitch?
edited: and I came up with another idea I wanted to run by you all: it seems that in this pattern you knit up two halves which you then sew together at the top and bottom but I'm thinking of just knitting it as a whole by doing the ribbed twice as long and then decrease instead of increase; which would mean all I have to do in the end is sew the top 5 stitches together.This because I think it wouldn't be nice to have a seem going right along the bottom of your foot.But maybe, being a not too experienced knitter: am I missing any side effects if I do this? would it effect the form of the slipper for example?
thanks for any help
Hello, Karen!
I think the increase they are talking about is knit into the front and back of every OTHER stitch....
Also, if you used a provisional cast on, you could kitchener stitch these together and you wouldnt have a bulky seam.
There are videos for all these wonderful things on Amy's wonderful site.
Good luck!
Next Row: Increase in 2nd stitch of each row until you have 22 stitches on the needle.Next Row: Increase in each stitch to 44 sts.
If you start ("Next Row") with 22 stitches, and "increase in each stitch to 44 sts.", wouldn't you have to increase every stitch, rather than every other stitch? :?? Or am I not understanding 'increase'? I really want to know how to do this, too, 'cause I really like those slippers and think the pattern looks simple (other than that part!).
Yep you're right!
Or you could try these.http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=12662.0
Kelly: thanks for that answer! I just tried that on a tester and it works fine that way so I will do them like that. THen I'll also try the kitchener stitch; yay for learning new things on simple projects!! :cheering:
Brooke: the first time you start increasing you do it every other stitch untill you have 22 stitches and once you have 22, you do a final row of increasing by doubleknitting each stitch so you'll end up with 44.
But while I was waiting for you Northern Americanos to wake up, I also found the pattern that Brooke linked to here (the Mary Jane's; why are they called that anyway??) and I started on those instead. I've got one finished already so these ones will have to wait untill after my trip
I'll take the one I have finished with me to my boyfriend so I can take a picture of it and maybe I should start my own blog in the blog thread to put the pictures in....
I still can't believe how nice it is to finish something and to see it's actually useful/wearable etc Most of the things I do in my sparetime, like reading and corresponding etc don't really have this finished-factor to them, if you know what I mean. That alone could get addictive!
/Karen :XX:
I am very confused. I hope I don't come off as argumentative, as I assure you that's not my intent. It's just that I'm a new knitter, who struggles to read and comprehend pattern instructions, and when I read,
Next Row: Increase in 2nd stitch of each row until you have 22 stitches on the needle
I interpret that as increasing only the 2nd stitch. :doh: I'm sure I'm stressing your patience, but can you please help me understand how you determined that means every other stitch. :wall:
I've copied a part of the pattern, and inserted my notes by the *'s. I hope this helps!
Cast on 5 sts.Knit 6 rows.
Next Row: Increase in 2nd stitch of each row until you have 22 stitches on the needle.
** I would interpret this to mean that you increase one stitch per row until you have 22 total. This means it will take you 16 rows of knitting to work up to 22 stitches (if I can add!) **
Next Row: Increase in each stitch to 44 sts.
** I would interpret this to mean that once you have 22 stitches on your needle, you will need to increase in every stitch for one row of knitting. You would do this by kntting in the front and back of each stitch.
So...you will have six rows of 5 stitches knitted, then you will slowly increase -- one stitch per row -- until you have 22, and then you will make a big increase -- one increase per stitch in one row -- to 44.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!!
Holly: I think you are right. After reading the different answers here I figured the pictures might help; so I just downloaded the picture on that page, enlarged it a bit and tried to count the rows in which she increased: it does look like there are about 16 to 18 of them so I think you are correct in your way of reading the pattern.
If anyone tries, let me know how it works out?

I thought it was a great adaptation of the book, and really symapathetic and faithful to the story, but I also thought it was a great movie in its own right. Yes, a few details have changed from the books, but who cares? IT WAS BRILLIANT! EEEEEEE!

I KNOW!!!!! I have so many thoughts from the movie running through my brain right now!!!! I seriously love Peeta so much..:D

I just got back from seeing the movie tonight too! LOVED IT! I think they did an amazing job staying true to the book and not twisting the plot line for Hollywood's sake. I'm also really happy that they didn't cut it down to be an hour and a half. Everything fit perfectly in the time and nothing major was cut out. Oh, and of course, TEAM PEETA =)

I thought they did an awesome job, not only with the characters but also capturing the world Katniss lives in-- I loved how bright and garish they made the Capitol, all the crazy costumes and make-up! The movie definitely brought the book to life without changing the original story, I loved it! :)

I plan on seeing it but not until I can find a copy to download. I have heard too many things about the changes to pay to go see it. Sad, but true. Not only that but I can't help compare it to Battle Royale and that is one of my all time favorite movies.
However, I do still enjoy the series and I will see all of the movies! :)

Dome 'can be on budget'
Millennium Dome chief executive Pierre-Yves Gerbeau believes Ł20m of cost savings can be made to bring the project within its Ł758m budget.
He admitted the Dome had financial problems but still described the project as a fantastic success despite the negative publicity.
Mr Gerbeau made his comments as he unveiled summer plans and a new advertising strategy to attract customers to the troubled south London attraction.
A Best of British programme will be accompanied by adverts promoting the new slogan: "You've got a mind of your own, take it to the Dome."
"We want to say to those people who haven't yet visited, 'Don't listen to what you've heard about the Dome, come and see for yourself and discover why people love it'," Mr Gerbeau told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
"We have had and will have financial problems because we carried the burden of the past."
Best of British
He said there had been a lot of negative media coverage and the project had been used as a political football.
But Mr Gerbeau described the three million people who have already visited the attraction as "fantastic ambassadors" who could also spread the word about the Dome's contents.
Next month the Dome will also stage a preview of the costumes to be used in this year's Notting Hill Carnival.
Last weekend Mr Gerbeau, who took over at the Dome from ousted chief executive Jennie Page in February, said that he intended to name the politicians he held to blame for the failure of the project.
He said: "I will stand up at the end of the year and tell people what went wrong and why."
But he also stressed the aim of the latest marketing campaign was to focus attention on the Dome's remaining six months and address the challenges that lay ahead.
Visitor shortfall
The latest marketing campaign, however, will have to inspire great numbers of new visitors if the Dome is to make up ground.
Dome organisers the New Millennium Experience Company had originally budgeted on attracting 12 million visitors to the Dome during 2000.
This figure was first revised to 10 million and then to seven million as the company asked for and received, two further cash grants, totalling Ł89m, from the National Lottery.
Total attendance in the first six months of the year reached 3,114,000.
The June daily average was around 18,000 a day - still short of the 21,250 a day that has to be averaged from now on if the seven million figure is to be reached.
The government will shortly make a decision on which of two consortia will take over the Dome when the millennium experience exhibition closes at the end of the year.
Japanese finance house Nomura wants to retain the attraction as a leisure site.
Rival group Legacy plans to turn the Dome into offices and workshops, creating a hi-tech residential campus.

Hotel Boite is located in Borca di Cadore, in the Veneto region, at 10 minutes drive from Cortina d'Ampezzo, in one of the most enchanting areas of the Dolomites at the foot of the Mount Antelao.
of TripAdvisor Travelers recommend this hotel
"Fantastic animator. "
Rooms not very special but nice food and fantastic animated crew. Also it was far from slopes so that was really burdensome to get back from slopes or every morning go there but it really doesn't matter because free time was fantastic thanks to animators.
we spend four nights in this hotel for our winter break, and I must say that everything was great, the food, the staff, the hotel. You can easy reach the ski resort of San Vito and Cortina by ski bus.
"Where architectural art meets you"
We enjoyed this August staying in Boite Hote with a large group of families with children, very fashionable structure. very suitable for communities and families, close to the most attractive Dolomiiti locations. Used to be the vacation site for the Eni employies, which was envisaged by Enrico Mattei. Only issue is the large dining room a bit noisy with many people. Great the Church designed by Arch Scarpa, unfortunately quite often closed.
"Enjoyable winter vacation in February 2014"
We had a great time during our winter stay in hotel Boite in Borca di Cadore. Hotel is a bit distanced from Cortina, but the ski bus connections are well organized, punctual, transit runs smoothly. Despite the hotel was built some time ago and is furnished like 70`s with modern touch, it is well maintained: clean, tidy, cosy environment, well heated rooms with a balcony and view on the mountains, separated room with ski shoes driers, everything is just working perfectly. Personnel was just fantastic, especially Mr. Leonardo, who was of our great support during our stay as we were several times searching for some information (internet, walking area, dedicated shops, details about the food,..). Stuff made our stay: they are there whenever you need them and they do not disturb you. Food was delicious, healthy, low fat, home made: a lot of vegetables, domestic pasta, deserts, fruits, several different courses. It was served by a very kind man, Mr Mok. We had no need to go eating anywhere else; just the lunch we took in the restaurants near by the ski slopes (ask before you chose those: they can be very good, but also so, so). In the hotel lobby is a big, even huge dining room when you can read, rest, play cards, chat,… We did not feel squeezed in a few square meters. Close to the hotel (10 min walk) is a new SPA, wellness, where you can spend the time after the skiing or bad weather time. We will do our best to come back.
"Things I wish I had known BEFORE booking at Hotel Boite"
Just got back from a 4-night stay at Hotel Boite (ski-break). Our experience was mixed. The staff were surprisingly and consistently friendly and very eccentric in a 'Being John Malkovich' kind of way. This was the quirky side of hotel boite that we loved. We had a room with a mountain view. The bedroom part of the room was clean and very nice. Simple, with fresh, white bedding, although the curtains mysteriously did not open. The bathroom was not 4-star at all! It was old fashioned, with poor water pressure and a toilet that flushed by turning a tap, so not very effective (!) and wastes a lot of water. It was clean though. The prices in the mini-bar were surprisingly cheap . The biggest problem with Hotel Boite for us was its location. The hotel is 1.5 miles out of town. While we would normally love the isolation, in this case we felt trapped. That's a 1.5 mile walk from the bus stop (there are no taxis in Borca), and absolutely no chance of going out for a meal in the evening (the buses stop at 5:30pm). (On Lastminute.com it says the bus stop is 300m away from the hotel, which is odd, because the bus stop is past the wellness centre, which lastminute.com reports is 900m away from the hotel!) If we had known this in advance, we would happily have rented a car. However, when we called the week before to ask how to get to the hotel, we were simply told to catch the bus to Borca from the airport. Without a car, we were bound to the hotel's timetable. Yes, there were shuttles to Cortina (half hour away - yes, the nearest slopes are 10 minutes away at san vito, but these are beginner slopes, so take note), but only 5/6 per day, and the hotel offered shuttles to the spa and the bus stop, on the hour (although these stopped at 7pm), so whatever you did, you needed to be back at Hotel Boite by 7ish in the evening to avoid being stranded. Even worse, this meant we were bound to the hotel's 'restaurant'. The word 'restaurant' is as much of an exaggeration as the pictures of the restaurant on the Hotel Boite website. This is a dining hall, reminiscent of a boarding school, with below-average, mass-produced set menus. Brightly-lit, canteen-style, the place lacks atmosphere entirely. The breakfasts were okay - buffet-style, absolutely fine for this type of trip., However, there was no real coffee (a major setback for some people). Instead, guests have to make do with vending machine coffee (noooo!!!!!). This is not acceptable for a 4-star hotel, AT ALL!! Coffee is an absolute must. One last thing - the spa is shared by 3 hotels, so absolutely packed! and the jacuzzi wasn't working when we were there. The ski-ing was fabulous (Cortina) and the trip was brilliant. It would have been greatly improved by a car enabling us a modicum of independence from the hotel and a good cup of filter coffee with breakfast!
Credit cards accepted by the hotel: Visa - MasterCard - American Express - Maestro - Diners Club
