Palin's media defenders attack AP over non-existent "hairdresser" slight
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
If you care, the AP snapped a photo of Sarah Palin having her hair attended to during her recent trip to earthquake ravage Haiti.
Here's how Free Republic responded to the apparent media sin [emphasis added]:
Media Creates New Palin Scandal! Sarah Accused of Bringing Hairdresser on Hati Trip
The Free Republic, cheered on by the right-wing blogosphere, then went into great detail about how Palin did not bring a hairdresser with her to Haiti and that the woman photographed fussing over her hair was Palin's daughter Bristol:
That's right, what the Palin-hating AP and others fail to report is that the "hair stylist" is Bristol Palin.
Here's the problem: The AP never reported Palin brought a "hair stylist" or a "hairdresser." Those phrases came from Free Republic. It's true: Free Republic rushed into to defend Palin from the AP allegation that Palin had brought a "hair stylist" or "hairdresser" with her to Haiti.
But oops! The AP never made that claim.
Here's the accurate AP caption to the photo:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan's Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission in an impoverished nation struggling to overcome post-election violence and a cholera epidemic. At right, Palin's husband, Todd Palin.
Good luck finding the AP's "hair stylist" or "hairdresser" reference, or the suggestion Palin brought one to Haiti.

With almond butter, almond extract, and slivered almonds in the batter (made from almond flour), these raspberry almond muffins have plenty of almond flavor all around. Frozen or fresh berries can be used, and you can also substitute any other type of berries you have on hand for the raspberries in this vegetarian-friendly and Paleo muffin recipe. The recipe makes about 10 muffins, and they hold up pretty well in the freezer too. If you enjoyed this Raspberry Almond Muffins recipe, try our Carrot Banana Muffins recipe next time.

Could I use frozen berries?
These are yummy! My 6 yr old even likes them!
I had some strawberries I needed to use up so I subbed those for the raspberries. Turned out delicious! Love all of your recipes.
Can regular canola oil be used instead of coconut oil in the same amount? Thank you.
I added 1/2 cup frozen blueberries in addition to the raspberries and it was great!
I am very allergic to eggs – how do i get around it for breakfast? just smoothies and fruit salad?
Would coconut flour work here as a substitute? At my little local health-food store, almond meal/flour costs something like $20/lb, whereas coconut flour is less than half as expensive.
I just made these and they are delicious! However, the batter was extremely wet – even when using less almond butter and coconut oil, and more almond flour. Any ideas where I went wrong, or how I can improve the next time? Thanks!
If I'm just doing Blueberry muffins do I still need Almond Butter?
OH. MY. GOODNESS. Can I just say how amazingly delicious these are? I made my own almond flour and almond butter for this. I WILL make it again, but I'm not so sure I'm going to share.
Can this recipe be baked in a cake pan. More of a coffee cake than muffin?
What could be a substitute to the almond butter?? If any.
I made these this afternoon and wow!!! Holy delish Batman! I got 15 muffins in one batch. Not complaining though, now I have extra for preworkout!
We don't use honey. can I use stevia instead and if so how much?
I can't use honey, for allergy reasons. What else can use and how much? Thanks
I see a lot of recipes calling for honey, could I substitute agave?
My daughter is very allergic to egg yolks. How do I substitute eggs? Thank you!
I can't do the coconut oil because I'm on fat restrictions, but I was wondering if I could add some organic applesauce in it's place like I can with non-paleo recipes?
We have made these twice now – both times extremely dense and rich, almost to a point where they are inedible. Are we doing something wrong?! The batter is thicker than wallpaper paste!
New to Paleo so I mentally had to get past the fact that these weren't a regular sugary tasting muffin. I ended up making these with blueberries with vanilla extract and with no slivered almonds. The batter was thick but reminded me of gooey wet peanut butter. I weighed out my ingredients to not only eliminate a bunch of dirty dishes but to get everything exact. My verdict: It was good! The muffin had just the right amount of sweet, obviously I would have liked more but my sweet tooth is my downfall so I know this is a mental adjustment. I made 12 muffins using a cupcake pan and I used liners. I baked it for 25 minutes but possibly it could have taken them out at 23 minutes, they were too brown around the inside of the liners. The cake itself was very moist, not dry at all. I will make this again, may experiment and use almond extract with a little orange zest, and add cranberries.
Could almond flour be substituted for coconut flour?
WOW Just made these and they are amazing. I had to make a minor adjustment as I didn't have enough almond butter so just added a little more coconut oil and I substituted frozen organic berries. The recipe made 12 large muffins, which I had to cook for around 20 minutes but they rose up beautifully and came out light and fluffy. My family have already put their order in for at least 1 batch each weekend.
I am anxious to try these, as they sound delicious, but I just wanted to point out that baking powder is not paleo (it contains cornstarch). There are substitutions for it, in case anyone needs them: http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/11/the-science-and-art-of-paleofying-part-3-leavening-and-fats.html
Thanks for the great recipes!
Can you provide nutritional facts for the recipes? I just figure out for the muffins and there are pretty high in fat!!!! about 25 g, and calories about 300 g.
We LOVE these muffins and I make them constantly!! I use Xylitol as a substitute for honey as I have Candida and they are totally delicious. I put in 1/3rd a cup, same as the honey amount. Thanks for this recipe!!! :)
This recipe reminds me of a recipe I used to make when I worked as a pastry chef. Sub egg whites ( whip them slightly) and fold in to rest of ingredients to make friands- similar to French financiers. Don't throw out yolks! Make paleo hollandaise, or mayonnaise!
These are awesome!!!! I did have issues with baking- took longer than recipe said. In the end I believe most of them were cooked in about 20 min but I had two that just didn't seem cooked so I added another 5 for those two after I removed the rest. I am using these as a mid morning snack because breakfast is 5am and lunch is about 6-8 hrs later (have a new job, don't know what time lunch is).

Halloween service at Blackfen
We will be having a Church service for Halloween at Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen. It will of course be first Vespers of the feast of All Saints (usus antiquior) at 8pm.
We also have a Missa Cantata for the feast day itself (also 8pm) and Missa Cantata for the Commemoration of All Souls at 10.30am on Saturday.
If you want to come for any of these celebrations, here are directions to the Church. On Thursday and Friday evenings, the parish club is open and you are welcome to come in afterwards as a guest, and join parishioners for a celebratory drink and discussion of current affairs with our team of bloggers.
Erasure releases "Gaudete"
A brother priest has alerted me to the digital release today by Erasure of the track "Gaudete" which is apparently the first single from a new album "Snow Globe" which is to be released as a CD and download bundle in a couple of weeks.
I confess that my knowledge of popular music nowadays is as close to zero as makes no difference so I had to look up the above details from the Wikipedia article on Erasure. This also informs us that one of the duo is a gay icon, which made me hesitate about posting this at all. However, on balance I agree with my correspondent that the problem is outweighed by the possibility of making Christ known to a secular audience at Christmas.
It is a good idea to know what singers are singing. This would apply to Lady Gaga's recent celebrated performance: I guess some of those cheering it might be less enthusiastic if they knew what she was actually singing about.
So here are the lyrics to Gaudete and a translation to help along the possible evangelising impact of Gaudete:
|Gaudete, gaudete
Christus est natus
Ex Maria Virgine
|Rejoice, rejoice!
Christ is born
Of the Virgin Mary —
|Tempus adest gratiae
Hoc quod optabamus
Carmina laetitiae
Devote reddamus
|The time of grace is present
This, what we have wished for,
songs of joy
Let us give back devoutly.
|Deus homo factus est
Natura mirante
Mundus renovatus est
A Christo regnante
|God has become man,
To the wonderment of Nature,
The world has been renewed
By the reigning Christ.
|Ezechielis porta
Clausa pertransitur
Unde Lux est orta
Salus invenitur
|The closed gate of Ezekiel
Is passed through,
Whence the light has arisen,
Salvation is found.
|Ergo nostra contio
Psallat iam in lustro
Benedicat Domino
Salus Regi nostro
|Therefore let our gathering
Now sing in brightness
Let it bless the Lord:
Greeting to our King.
(This also gave me a welcome opportunity to revise my knowledge of html for tables.)

Video of LMS Pilgrimage to Walsingham
The Latin Mass Society have reminded me of their new video which documents the fourth annual pilgrimage by the Society to the ancient English shrine of Walsingham over three days in August 2013. Producing videos like this is an excellent way to make known good Catholic events and promote them to others, so I am glad to re-post it here. Look out for the next pilgrimage!

A great day with the Confraternity
Fr Frank Marsden, Bishop Geoffrey Jarrett and Fr Jerome Bertram yesterday gave us food for thought at the Autumn Colloquium of the British Province of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy. At the last minute the Colloquium had to be moved from the Oratory School at Reading and the Fathers of the Oxford Oratory kindly made their facilities available, including the well-appointed and recently established Hall and their beautiful Church of St Aloysius.
The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Jarrett (Bishop of Lismore, Australia): modern rite ad orientem in English but with Propers and Ordinary sung in Latin with Gregorian chant. Later in the day, there was a time of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by Benediction. Meals were taken at Browns restaurant next door thanks to a special "deal" with a set menu - it is rather posher than I remember it as an undergraduate.
There were about 60 clergy present during the day. Here is a group photo of some of them (you can never get a group of clergy all together at one time!)
At a mercifully brief and efficiently conducted business meeting a revised Constitution was approved and Officers and Trustees elected. A significant change to the Constitution allows for Deacons (permanent or transitory) and seminarians to be members of the Confraternity. If you are a cleric and agree with the objects of the Confraternity, I do encourage you to join and to come to the meetings either nationally or in the various local groups. They are a great opportunity to meet with other clergy, and to support each other in our life and pastoral work.
There is also a provision for lay people to become Friends of the Confraternity and this will be developed in due course.

Understanding "Lead us not into temptation"
An article in today's Telegraph is headed 'Blasphemous' Lord's Prayer corrected by France's Catholic Church. I think that 'blasphemous' is over-egging the pudding and that there is a danger of focussing on the wrong word.
The previous French version of "et ne nos inducas in tentationem" was: "Ne nous soumets pas à la tentation" (do not submit/subject us to temptation) and this is to be replaced by: "Et ne nous laisse pas entrer en tentation" (do not allow us to enter into temptation.)
Clearly we do not want to say that God would subject us to a temptation to be uncharitable to someone or to drink too much or to look at pornography on the internet. We would certainly prefer to say that we ask Him not to allow us to be tempted in such ways.
However I don't think that the translation of "inducas" is the problem, but rather the translation of "tentatio."
The word "temptation" in modern European languages now generally refers to temptations that proceed from concupiscence (the disordered desire consequent on original sin) or those which come about because of our previous habits of sin.
In the Greek New Testament, the word "peirasmon" was used in a different way, for example of the temptations of Christ - who did not suffer from concupiscence or past habits of sin. It is also used, for example, by Our Lord Himself when he said to the disciples "You are the men who have stayed with me in my trials" (Lk 22.28) It would be absurd to render this verse as though Christ were saying that the apostles had stood by him in temptations to sin (He didn't have any.) Our Lord was tested and put through trials by the devil at the beginning of His public ministry and finally through His passion. (This also applies to the depressingly common misunderstanding of Hebrews 4.15, especially in the Jerusalem Bible translation.)
Therefore we ask the Father not to lead us into the time of trial, not to allow us to be subjected to the onslaught of the devil. We know that He will not do anything that causes us to sin or in any way exacerbate the effects of original sin or our own past sins. We are asking Him to deliver us from evil, as the next clause in the Lord's prayer makes clear.
If we want to re-translate the Our Father, it would be better to recognise the modern use of the word temptation and replace that ("Do not lead us into the time of trial" / "Do not put us to the test" or some other such adjustment) rather than worry about the word "inducas."

Tomorrow: optional memorial of Blessed John Paul II
Fr Richard Duncan of the Birmingham Oratory has done a great service by publicising on Facebook the fact that tomorrow, 22 October, is an optional memorial of Blessed John Paul II according to the National Calendar for England and Wales. Here is a link at which you can download texts for the Missal and the Office of Readings in English and Latin so thanks to the Liturgy Office of England and Wales for this too.
I am glad to have been made aware of this and will be celebrating the optional memorial tomorrow morning. Next year, it will be for Saint John Paul II. The above photo will then be one of me with an actual saint! Some trads are rather critical of him, but I think he was a great Pope who brought many blessings to the Church and to the world. I am old enough to remember what a joy it was to welcome his election in 1978 and thrill to his powerful and effective witness against communism.

Have you got an 'ology?
My good friend Fr John Zuhlsdorf had a look at a non-magisterial fervorino of Pope Francis about "ideology" and wonders what the Pope really said:
The Pope's language about ideology is so vague that I can't for the life of me make out who or what he is talking about. It could be that he has a first name and a last name in mind, but I have no idea who she might be.I too am puzzled by the use of the word ideology in this ferverino and others.
In general usage, "ideology" is used to mean the system of ideas at the basis of an economic or political theory, as in Marxist ideology, or more generally the manner of thinking characteristic of a class, as in bourgeouis ideology, or more generally still, some sort of visionary speculation. Napoleon used the word to ridicule his intellectual opponents, and Marx used it to engage in the struggle of ideas that would determine who had power within a society.
We believe that God has given us a spiritual soul which is able to think and form ideas. We need to espouse the right ideas so that we will act with truth and charity towards others, rather than the wrong ideas that will harm them. As Christians, we certainly accept such basic ideas as the principle of non-contradiction, but we are blessed with the revelation of God in the old and new testaments, and we follow and try to put into practice the teaching of Jesus Christ which we know from the Gospels and from the teaching of the Church which Christ founded. Necessarily, these teachings can be expressed in propositions - these are, if you like, ideas that we believe to be true both on human grounds and on the grounds of revelation.
Certainly we would not want to reduce the Christian faith to a set of propositions; it is more than that because we believe in a personal God and we should desire to do His will, and love Him with all our hearts. Nevertheless, if somebody says "I believe that all Jews should be exterminated", we Christians can and ought to reply (with many brave souls who did so in the face of persecution) "No, all people have the right to life and we must never kill an innocent person."
This last statement is a proposition which I passionately believe to be true. It is an idea, if you like. Does it form part of an ideology? I suppose it does really. But it is also fundamentally part of my Christian faith, my adherence to the person of Jesus Christ.
My personal following of Jesus Christ and His teaching does involve me in professing certain ideas, beliefs and values. In the case of whether it is legitimate to kill people just because they are Jews, I would be "rigid, moralistic and ethical", and even without much kindness to those who disagree and embark upon the path of extermination - though I would not think it a Christian thing to spit on their coffin.
New generation of lapsed
Often, when I talk to priests from Catholic countries, or countries that formerly had a strong Catholic life, I have a sense of déjà-vu, as though they are sincerely and earnestly addressing problems that we faced in England 30 years ago.
Some of the things that Pope Francis has said strike me in the same vein. It is great to hear that he told priests not to turn away unmarried mothers who bring their children for Baptism. When I was newly-ordained (nearly 30 years ago), in the inner-city parish I first worked in, more than 50% of the children that we baptised were of unmarried mothers. Sometimes these were single mothers but increasingly over the years "unmarried mother" has become a quaint expression. Many are cohabiting, and many nowadays have got married in a hotel or on a beach without any inkling that this is not what Catholics should do.
At funerals, when saying the Our Father, we used to get distracted by some in the congregation continuing with "For the Kingdom..." as is the Anglican custom. (You would let it pass without comment.) Now we often find that there are only a few in the congregation who actually know the Our Father. The BBC commentator on the announcement of the new Pope was ridiculed for this, but his ignorance is not by any means unusual. How would people know the Our Father if they do not say it in school, do not say prayers at home, and don't go to Church?
It is no longer a question of being kind to the "lapsed" but of trying to get something across to the generation who do not know the "Our Father", people who have no contact with a Church at all, and no knowledge of the Christian faith beyond the distortions that they have seen in the media. On Catholic blogs we often highlight these distortions. We have to remember that for many people those caricatures of Christianity are all that people have in the way of religious education. If we don't give a considered and accurate account of Catholic teaching on "difficult" issues such as abortion, contraception and same-sex unions, we will leave people with the caricatures.

Edmund Waddelove RIP
Edmund Waddelove who died earlier this week was one of my greatest benefactors in that he brought about my conversion to a love of the traditional Latin Mass in 2002 when his sister Agnes died. He asked me to celebrate the Requiem Mass in the old rite. I agreed, and then realised that I had a short time to learn the ceremonies. (The late Michael Davies was at the funeral and afterwards supplied me with some altar cards and an instruction booklet.)
Edmund was a stalwart of the Latin Mass Society and always a manly, good-humoured critic of liberalism in the Church. The photograph above shows him (front, right) holding a collage of his children to be blessed by Blessed John Paul II whom he admired greatly.
I will be offering Mass for the repose of his soul (in the old rite, of course) and ask, of your charity, for prayers for him. May the Lord bring him speedily to the worship of heaven, the fulfilment of the Mass which he loved so dearly.
Here is an obituary, written by his son, Adrian, which speaks for itself:
Edmund Waddelove was one of five men who promised the local priest that the North Wales village of Bettws-y-Coed would have a Catholic church.
Along with a Forestry Commission colleague his contribution was to dig most of the foundation trenches with a pick and spade. Two used their professional expertise as electricians. The other was a builder.
"Our Lady of The Woods" was consecrated five years later, in 1961, but it became a matter of great sadness to Mr Waddelove in his old age when he learnt that the church had been closed.
His death, at 94, followed a debilitating eight years that began with shingles.
He was born in Leigh in Lancashire and educated at Thornleigh Salesian College in Bolton.
His service in World War II with the Royal Artillery included the defence of Hawkinge airfield in Kent during the Battle of Britain. He received his Officer Commission in 1943 but always thought himself fortunate that immediately after D-Day, when in transit for embarkation to Normandy, his unit was stopped because the Allied casualties had been lower than feared.
His 34 year career with the Forestry Commission began in 1947 and included 11 years on Gwydyr Forest at Bettws-y-Coed. He later spent six years in charge of Delamere in Cheshire and in 1969 was promoted to become Chief Forester at Clocaenog near Ruthin.
He remained a lifelong committed Catholic with one of his proudest moments coming in 1980 during the Ordinary General Synod on The Christian Family in Rome when he shook the hand of Pope John Paul II as the Pontiff blessed a photo montage of his children.
His first visit to Rome had been in the 1950 Holy Year and he returned in both 1975 and 1983, and was present in 1982 and 2002 for the ceremonies at which St Maximilian Kolbe and St Jose Maria Escriva were canonised. He travelled, too, to Fatima in 2000 for the seers' beatification.
And for 18 years he made a major contribution to the Latin Mass Society which kept alive the traditional liturgy after it was dropped following the Second Vatican Council until its 2007 restoration.
He offered to be the organisation's Diocesan Representative for Menevia in 1978 and soon combined this with the role in Shrewsbury, and later assumed responsibility for the new diocese of Wrexham, too, when that was formed.
Simultaneously he served on the LMS national committee for much of the period and became widely respected for his perseverance and attention to detail.
Mr Waddelove received a Papal Blessing from Pope John Paul II in 1996 in recognition of this work.
His wife, Bernadette, died in 1997 after 53 years of marriage. They lost their first child, Judith, just before her first birthday and for 12 years cared for their last, Jane, who was severely handicapped both mentally and physically.
He is survived by their adult children Paul, Bernard, Adrian and Steve, and Claire who entered the Benedictine Abbey at Ryde on the Isle of Wight in 1980, together with 14 grand-children and 15 great grand-children.
A traditional Latin Requiem Mass is to be celebrated at "Our Lady Help of Christians" in Ruthin at 11am on Tuesday October 22.

CD 274 on concelebrants at weddings
There seems to be competition among under 30s Catholics to have as many priests as possible at their wedding. I'd love to invite half a dozen priest friends but would prefer them to attend in choir. I am worried in case they might be offended.
I think that you know that this should not be a matter of competition so I won't harp on about that except to emphasise that your first concern should be the dignified and reverent celebration of your wedding, and your spiritual preparation with your fiancée in order to lay a solid foundation for your married life.
On behalf of my brother priests, I would make a heartfelt plea to you to give them a way out if it is difficult for them to attend. Priests who run parishes may have a heavy schedule and it is not always easy to find supply priests to cover for them. For many priests it is a rare luxury to attend an event for personal reasons on a Saturday. Make sure that you don't take offence if they have to decline your invitation.
Cardinals Cañizares and Burke have both independently raised questions about the routine practice of concelebration in the Roman rite so your own reluctance has some support. I find personally that if I have already had to say a parish Mass, the option of attending in choir is welcome: the priest can participate in a different and, perhaps more personally reflective way. Having said that, many priests are not familiar with the option of attending in choir. Some may not have a cassock and cotta (though many younger priests will.) It is not so much that priests will be offended; they may simply not be familiar with this way for a priest to participate at Mass.
Since these are priests well-known to you, the best approach is to talk to them personally and explain what you are proposing. You could print off from the internet an article about the meaning of a priest assisting at Mass in choir, and emphasising that this is a way of participating in the Liturgy as a priest.

St Andrews and Canmore
This evening I am at St Andrews to give a talk this evening for Canmore, the Catholic Society for the university. As ever, there was a great welcome, and a well-attended Mass beforehand, good questions, Compline in the chapel, and a fine group afterwards to continue the conversation over a drink at one of the nearby hotels. It is always good to hear from readers of the blog. One such, Archie, was the first person to complain to me about the new policy of not having comments. He said that the decision limited his scope for procrastination.
Tomorrow morning, I will join Fr Andrew Kingham for Mass. He is both parish priest and chaplain to the University and has quite a bit on his plate with planned building works to Canmore itself, the home of the chaplaincy, which are already proceeding apace. He is a doctor of Canon Law which helped things along since it is always good for a dogmatists like myself to have a canonist around to keep us on the straight and narrow. I was also glad to learn more about the calendar of Scottish Saints and other interesting nuggets on the Catholic history of Scotland.
St Andrews has been a seed-bed for many priestly and religious vocations over the years this looks set to continue along with the equally healthy sign of good Catholic marriages. Please remember the students and their Chaplain in your prayers.

Confraternity of Catholic Clergy - and an invitation to the laity
British Confraternity of Catholic Clergy. I have advertised this here before but want to give a last-minute reminder because it promises to be such a worthwhile event. Here is some information from the Confraternity:
Speakers will be Fr Francis Marsden: "Priesthood under fire - Past, Present and Future", Bishop Geoffrey Jarrett: "The Priest as Teacher: Opportunities and Challenges for the renewal of adult Catechesis in the parish" and Fr Jerome Bertram, Cong. Orat: "The Conversion of England"
Fr Bertram's talk, at 7.30pm, is open to priests, friends of the Confraternity, the University and the laity. This will take place in the Oxford Oratory Church of St Aloysius and booking is not necessary. Do come along if you can. Not only is Fr Bertram a most engaging speaker but this will also be a good opportunity for priests and laity to meet up. I'm told that the initiative to have an open lecture was partly influenced by this blog, so do take up the opportunity!
Due to unforeseen complications in the major building works currently taking place over the next 12 months at the Reading Oratory School, the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy has been obliged to re-locate the 2013 Colloquium. Both the Confraternity organising committee and the Oratory School apologise for any inconvenience caused, and plan to return the 2014 Colloquium to the Oratory School.For priests who wish to book for the talks and meals, the Confraternity website has full information and a booking form.
The Fathers of the Oxford Oratory have kindly agreed to host the 2013 Colloquium on Wednesday 23 October, which would have been the second day of our residential conference. The revised Colloquium will take the form of an extended day conference with meals, and will include - an event we have long desired – a final talk open to the laity (as Friends of the Confraternity). Places are limited due to the size of the meeting rooms, so please book early to avoid disappointment. This Oxford Colloquium provides an opportunity to dedicate the Confraternity to Blessed Dominic Barberi and Blessed John Henry Newman.
Speakers will be Fr Francis Marsden: "Priesthood under fire - Past, Present and Future", Bishop Geoffrey Jarrett: "The Priest as Teacher: Opportunities and Challenges for the renewal of adult Catechesis in the parish" and Fr Jerome Bertram, Cong. Orat: "The Conversion of England"

New Latin hymn for Blessed John Henry Newman Salve Fundator

Suggested prayers
People have asked me to post the texts of these prayers which I currently say each morning.
For the Pope
Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum Franciscum, quem pastorem Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere: ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Dominum Nostrum Iesum Christum Filium Tuum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, mercifully look upon Thy servant, Francis, whom Thou hast chosen as the chief Shepherd to preside over Thy Church; grant him, we beseech Thee, so to edify, both by word and example, those over whom he hath charge, that he may attain unto everlasting life, together with the flock committed unto him. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Against the persecutors of the Church
Ecclesiae tuae, quaesumus, Domine, preces placates admitte: ut, destructis adversitatibus et erroribus universis, secura tibi serviat libertate. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen
We beseech Thee, O Lord, mercifully to receive the prayers of Thy Church : that all adversity and error having been destroyed, she may serve Thee in security and freedom. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God for ever and ever.

Assent and papal magisterium
When the Pope defines ex cathedra a doctrine concerning faith or morals, he enjoys that infallibility with which Our Lord willed the Church to be endowed. To these definitions, we must give the assent of faith. Obvious examples are the definition of the Immaculate Conception by Blessed Pius IX in 1854 and the definition of the Assumption by Pope Pius XII in 1950.
The Pope also teaches with an authentic magisterium (teaching authority) that is not infallible. Examples of such teaching are the encyclical letters of the Pope, and decrees issued by the Holy See in forma specifica.
Decrees of the Holy See may be issued merely in forma communi. This approval means that they are legitimate, authentic and to be promulgated. But this approval does not make such statements to be formal decrees of the Supreme Pontiff. To such statements or decrees, we must give obedience, though we may internally disagree with them.
Decrees of the Holy See that are issued in forma specifica are those that are expressly published as the Supreme Pontiff's own decrees. They are inferior to ex cathedra statements but, as part of the authentic magisterium of the Supreme Pontiff, they do not require the assent of faith but they do demand our religious submission of mind and will. Lumen Gentium n.25 affirms this.
Popes may also teach privately. Such teaching would be expressed, for example, in sermons, interviews or books. When Pope Benedict published his book Jesus of Nazareth, he said:
It goes without saying that this book is in no way an exercise of the magisterium, but is solely an expression of my personal search "for the face of the Lord" (cf. Ps 27:8). Everyone is free, then, to contradict me. I would only ask my readers for that initial goodwill without which there can be no understanding.I mentioned this in a post three years ago and, I think reasonably, said that the same would apply to papal interviews with journalists.
Hence, if you are troubled by some statements that Pope Francis has made in his recent interviews, it is not disloyalty, or a lack of Romanita to disagree with the details of some of the interviews which were given off-the-cuff.
Naturally, if we disagree with the Holy Father, we do so with the deepest respect and humility, conscious that we may need to be corrected. However, papal interviews do not require either the assent of faith that is given to ex cathedra statements or that internal submission of mind and will that is given to those statements that are part of his non-infallible but authentic magisterium.
In the case of Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict, there were liberal commentators who rubbished the authentic magisterium, contradicted the traditional teaching of the Church, and generally treated those Popes with disrespect. We must never do this to the successor of St Peter. In giving a reasonable opinion which may disagree with an informal and off-the-cuff remark, we must always retain that Catholic spirit which respects the person and the office of the Supreme Pontiff, the successor of St Peter. We are neither ultramontanes nor gallicans but loyal Catholics in the tradition of St John Fisher, St Thomas More, St Catherine of Siena, St Vincent of Ferrer and others who from time to time respectfully took issue with some of the statements or actions of the Vicar of Christ.

NFP talk at Blackfen with information on new resources
The Catholic Medical Association is active in Blackfen and have organised a talk on NFP to give some updated information. Here are the details:
There will be a talk on Natural Family Planning at 7.30pm on Friday 18th October at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 330a Burnt Oak lane, Blackfen DA15 8LW. This talk will be of interest to all medical, nursing ad health staff, but will also be suitable for parents to bring teenagers. Representatives from Couple to Couple League, Billings, Napro and FLI will run small groups to explain the various methods of charting.Here is information about How to Get to Blackfen.
It will include a brief presentation of the work of Mr John Kelly, who died recently. He was behind the National Association of Natural Family Planning Teachers, and started the Birmingham NFP service. In addition to his work as an obstetrician-gynaecologist in Birmingham, he set up hospitals in the poorest areas of the world. He was a highly skilled surgeon, repairing the lives of women with childbirth injuries, and training others in this work, whilst also creating care for women to deliver in safety. A collection will be made for this work.

"Pacem in Terris", magisterial teaching of Blessed John XXIII
News.va today reports on the Holy Father's address to participants in a three day conference, organised by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Encyclical Letter of Blessed John XXIII, Pacem in Terris, issued on Holy Thursday, 1963.
Seeing this item, I re-read the encyclical letter of the Pope who is soon to be canonised. As Pope Francis rightly notes, the immediate context of the letter was the cold war and the fear of a third world war even more terrible and destructive than the previous two which had brought such horror to the world.
We can also see in the great encyclicals of former popes much that is relevant to our own time and our own culture, since the encyclicals build on the constant teaching of the Church and the wisdom that has been handed on to us. I have copied and pasted a few quotations that struck me as being pertinent to us in England today:
First of all, a fundamental principle:
"Peace on Earth — which man throughout the ages has so longed for and sought after — can never be established, never guaranteed, except by the diligent observance of the divinely established order." (n.1)Then something that was uncontroversial in 1963:
"The family, founded upon marriage freely contracted, one and indissoluble, must be regarded as the natural, primary cell of human society. The interests of the family, therefore, must be taken very specially into consideration in social and economic affairs, as well as in the spheres of faith and morals. For all of these have to do with strengthening the family and assisting it in the fulfilment of its mission. Of course, the support and education of children is a right which belongs primarily to the parents." (nn. 16-17)An appeal to objective truth:
"Hence, before a society can be considered well-ordered, creative, and consonant with human dignity, it must be based on truth." (n.35)And an affirmation that was taken up by Blessed John Paul, who is also to be canonised along with Blessed John XXIII, in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae with regard to abortion and euthanasia which are contraventions of the moral order:
"Governmental authority, therefore, is a postulate of the moral order and derives from God. Consequently, laws and decrees passed in contravention of the moral order, and hence of the divine will, can have no binding force in conscience, since "it is right to obey God rather than men." (n.51)In Britain, several cases have emerged in recent years where people have been arrested and held in cells because of the excessive concern for the rights of a particular minority, namely those with same-sex attraction. Blessed John XXIII would not have imagined these cases but states the principle:
"An excessive concern for the rights of any particular individuals or groups might well result in the principal advantages of the State being in effect monopolized by these citizens." (n.65)This longer extract is fascinating in its prophetic understanding of the question of the proper association of minority groups - in this case, we might think of Muslims - in a society in which they form a part:
"It is worth noting, however, that these minority groups, in reaction, perhaps, to the enforced hardships of their present situation, or to historical circumstances, frequently tend to magnify unduly characteristics proper to their own people. They even rate them above those human values which are common to all mankind, as though the good of the entire human family should subserve the interests of their own particular groups. A more reasonable attitude for such people to adopt would be to recognize the advantages, too, which accrue to them from their own special situation. They should realize that their constant association with a people steeped in a different civilization from their own has no small part to play in the development of their own particular genius and spirit. Little by little they can absorb into their very being those virtues which characterize the other nation. But for this to happen these minority groups must enter into some kind of association with the people in whose midst they are living, and learn to share their customs and way of life. It will never happen if they sow seeds of disaffection which can only produce a harvest of evils, stifling the political development of nations." (n.97)Finally, another consideration which bears on Catholic education:
"We consider too that a further reason for this very frequent divorce between faith and practice in Christians is an inadequate education in Christian teaching and Christian morality. In many places the amount of energy devoted to the study of secular subjects is all too often out of proportion to that devoted to the study of religion. Scientific training reaches a very high level, whereas religious training generally does not advance beyond the elementary stage. It is essential, therefore, that the instruction given to our young people be complete and continuous, and imparted in such a way that moral goodness and the cultivation of religious values may keep pace with scientific knowledge and continually advancing technical progress." (n.153)

Pope Francis - mental reservation?
interview published in La Repubblica, said that that he did not have any intention of converting the atheist Eugenio Scalfari. This has rather puzzled some of the faithful on account of the command of Jesus in Matthew 28.19 and elsewhere. One of my brother priests today offered me humorous explanation. He said that Pope Francis is a Jesuit and he was making a mental reservation. Although not intended as a serious explanation, it seems to me more pleasingly parsimonious than blaming the translation or saying that La Repubblica didn't report the interview accurately.
Incidentally, Fr Lombardi today confirmed that the Holy Father's interviews are not magisterial documents. You knew that, of course, but it is helpful to have it definitely stated. We do not have to give all of the Holy Father's opinions in these interviews that "religious submission of mind and will" (religiosum voluntatis et intellectus obsequium) mentioned in Lumen Gentium 25; we are free to disagree respectfully. Indeed Pope Benedict made it clear in the preface to his first book on Jesus of Nazareth that people were free to disagree with his opinions in the book.

Evelyn Waugh on the BBC
Evelyn Waugh, interviewed in 1960 by John Freeman, shows his contempt for the BBC and must count as one of the most difficult guests in TV history. Often, the interviewer asks the "closed" question to which there is a yes/no or other one word answer. Hilariously, Waugh obliges almost every time. The introduction by Joan Bakewell is best watched after the interview itself (which starts at 04'03") simply to see how misleading it is.
My favourite exchange is at 17'39" when Freeman asks Waugh what is the greatest gift that his Catholic faith has brought him, "in terms of tranquility or peace of mind or whatever" to which Waugh replies "Well it isn't a sort of lucky dip that you get something out of, you know ... it isn't a sort of added amenity of the welfare state ..." The closing exchange is also quite fun.

This article was co-authored by Joe Brewer and Lazlo Karafiath
Pick any of the great challenges confronting humanity today and ask yourself "Is the quality of public discourse good enough to address it?" You'll find that for every single issue — be it global warming, resource depletion, chronic poverty, or what have you – the conversation is failing us. We simply are not elevating the ideas that we'll need to save ourselves from collapse and ruin.
Luckily, this is a problem that can readily be solved. At its core, it is an issue of (1) determining which ideas are poised to spread and which are not; together with (2) an understanding of which ideas we will need to spread in order to implement solutions that can scale. If we can figure these two pieces out it will be sufficient to spread vital innovations that can protect us from systemic harm.
Sounds simple enough, right? Then why aren't we doing it? Partly, the answer is that many people still don't understand the basics of meme science. We don't realize that the spread of ideas can be studied in the same way that we research the spread of diseases in a population of people. You are all meme researchers when you watch your friends' internet memes spreading on Facebook. All you need to do is realize that every one of us is an idea propagator. Herein lies our true power to transform the world. The absence of this realization — and the empowerment it creates –is what has kept past approaches taken by advocates of sustainability, social justice, and shared prosperity from reaching tipping points and all the sweeping changes that follow.
But of course, there's more going on than the fact that people aren't aware of the cultural analysis tools that would reveal important insights about the spread of ideas. Until recently there just wasn't a way to track the dynamics of ideas in society. This shortcoming is now being remedied by the rise of the internet and the practices of crowdsourcing. We are drowning in a flood of data streams from Twitter, Facebook, mobile apps, government databases, and other pools of information that can be mined to reveal patterns of thought and behavior.
It is in this new mix of social sharing and data analytics that we can finally begin to track the spread of ideas in a rigorous way. The fields of research that enable us to do so include:
- Network Science :: Studying relationships between and across pieces of information, be it social connections or system feedbacks.
- Complexity Research :: Exploring of the inherent dynamic features of systems that change in a nonlinear fashion.
- Evolutionary Biology :: Discovering of the way information spreads from one generation to the next in biological and social systems.
- Signal Processing :: Revealing patterns in the noise that tell us how changes arise and spread in dynamic systems.
- Cognitive Semantics :: Combining insights from psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics to reveal how ideas "stick" in the mind and arise as patterns of thought/behavior.
As fields such as these continue to mature, we are able to take an integrative approach to the study of culture and reveal the meme landscape that determines which ideas are ecologically "fit" and distinguish them from those ideas that cannot survive. This is like the work of a gardener who prepares the soil with the right mix of water, nutrients, temperature, and sunlight to encourage desired crops to grow. We can now begin to do the same thing for human culture.
So what might it mean to help good ideas grow and spread? First we must figure out what it means to be a "good" idea. In the general parlance of meme theory, an idea is good if it is able to stick and spread. But what is good for an idea may not be good for people. The qualities that enable an idea to spread can have no correlation with harms and benefits to their hosts. This is why our social worlds can be dominated by unhealthy ideas — the notion that what is good for the environment is bad for the economy, as one example; the thought that a finite planet can support infinite growth as another — so we need to apply the rigors of design thinking to the analysis of memes and become enlightened at the cultural level about which ideas are good for us and which are not.
Again we are in luck. It just so happens that concepts for morality have been extensively explored in the field of cognitive semantics (an area of expertise for one of the authors, Joe Brewer). Those ideas that reflect a biologically realistic understanding of health and well-being are what is good for us. It is good to be well fed, to have an ample supply of drinkable water, and to live in safe and supportive communities. We know these things and more about the science of human thriving. And so we can take frameworks like that of human security and the psychology of resilience as foundational building blocks for separating the cultural wheat from chaff.
We are living in a period of great turmoil, as the challenges mentioned above attest, and yet we also find ourselves in the midst of great opportunity. The tools are now available to envision and implement human-appropriate designs for urban planning, market development, resource management, energy production, and much more. All that remains is for us to begin.
This is exactly what we are doing with our Climate Meme Project as as starting point for prototyping and field-testing the solutions that humanity will need to make the global transition to security, prosperity, and sustainability.

As I am sure many other are... I am looking for waterfowl lease for the 2012-2013.
Our hunting party will likely range from 3-4 hunters max and will consist of myself, my son, my father and grandfather (as health permits).
In short, we are looking for an area that is strictly ours for the entire season.
Habitat preference would be flooded rice fields or crop fields and timber hunting if possible.
We are hoping to spend some quality time together as a family before his grand dad is to old to join us.
We are very mobile, have all necessary gear (i.e. boats, slip boats, layout blinds, etc... and willing to hunt in any location which affords the best potential for a successful hunt).
Thanks for any help you guys/gals can provide.

empressi you are BRAVE!! I tried waxing myself once and was literally crying. I tried to nair the love below and burned my skin off. I was tryin to be sexy and ended up looking HORRIBLE!! chemical sores and gross patches of scabs Shaving always would leave razor burn not on my legs or underarms but on my lady love. I stopped shaving up and the razor burn and ingrowns stopped. on my legs I shave up but in that area I usually shave down unless its gonna be seen ( pool) Waxing is my fave. Its just too expensive. I might as well be sasquatchs mom when it comes to hair though I spend forever shaving.
Bless those who actually wax themselves. I wouldn't have the nerve. I tried tweezing my eyebrows when I was younger, but I couldn't take the pain. I do that at the salon. I've gone back and forth between using Nair and shaving my pits and legs. I don't have a preference for either method.

Had to dig around to find them. They are *apparently* de-milled STG-2000 rifles that IO sells/sold. IO built their product by combining their Weiger repro stock sets with Romanian WASR rifles with combo gas blocks. The ones I held were typical Romanian factory "quality" - poorly set rivets, canted sight blocks, etc. That is probably why they are being sold as demills - the ones I held were just cobbled together.
I say that to say that this would be a great way to get a .223 parts kit (sans receiver) for $275! Anyone comfortable with BIY could easily make these way better than the original WASRs were... Most all the compliance parts should be there - not sure about the internals but the furniture is definitely US-built!
.223 magazines would be the only hard thing to find, but at that price it is easier to justify mag prices.
I may just have to get one of these myself

Polls: Cain, Romney Separate From Field In Iowa
Herman Cain and Mitt Romney have taken the lead into two recent polls of potential Iowa Republican caucus voters.
Two recent Iowa polls show former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain have established a sizable lead over the other candidates in the crucial early primary state.
According to an NBC News/Marist poll, Romney leads with 23 percent of potential Republican primary voters. Cain is close behind with 20 percent. U.S. Sen. Ron Paul sits in third with 12 percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann are a distant fourth at 10 percent. No other candidate registered more than 4 percent. About 20 percent of the electorate remains undecided.
Another survey by left-leaning Public Policy Polling showed Cain, 30 percent of likely caucus voters, with a significant edge over Romney, 23 percent, and the rest of the field. In that poll, Paul still finished in third with 10 percent. Perry followed with 9 percent, and Bachmann registered fifth among the early front-runners with 8 percent.
Former state Rep. Jim Kurtenbach, R-Nevada, who's also former co-chairman of the Iowa GOP, told Statehouse News Online in its report on the poll numbers he believes Cain and Romney's business experience have endeared them to voters.
"One thing that I hear is: 'We really need someone who understands what it takes to make a payroll, what it means to raise money for business and cut through regulatory red tape,'" Kurtenbach said. "That's what you're seeing in both -- very genuine business leaders with significant CEO experience."

It's the official start to the Midwest GTG/Show/Racing season. For the last couple of years it began with one big GTG, and whether it was at a park or on top of a shopping mall parking garage, it officially signaled the beginning of fun around the Midwest. This year, rather than just a big GTG, the guys and girls from the Volkswagen Audi Partnership of Rockford (VAPOR), DubWerks and The Speed Shop decided to invite people from around the area up to The Speed Shop for a day-long BBQ and GTG. Normally, the fun part of an event is the actual event itself, however that was only half the fun on this occasion. With the majority of the VW tuning community making the 1.5-hour cruise from Chicago up to Rockford, IL, this time much of the fun revolved around the journey. We had a few reports of police intervention, and even a broken transmission, however all ended well with everyone getting to The Speed Shop in due time. Once there, Dubbers were greeted with numerous cars of different makes, models, and eras, along with Dubwerks flash-loading GIAC software and giving out technical advice on the latest modding products, The Speed Shop offering paint-less dent removal along with an open house of their premises and answers to any question imaginable, and a variety of BBQ goodies for the hungry crowd to devour. Overall the GTG was the main event, and with the weather participating with a scorching 60+ degrees, people came from the surrounding 5 states to participate. It was a great way to start the Midwest season, and hopefully this will be an ongoing annual event, rather than another part of a long list of locations for the first big GTG of the season. Thanks go out to everyone that helped make it so much fun, especially: The VAPOR Club for being such gracious hosts and organizers of the event; The Speed Shop for providing a great location, along with the catering for the event; Dubwerks for making the drive, helping enthusiasts out with questions and for catering; and all the Dubbers from around the Midwest for making it so much fun!

Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu to Headline Stockholm Music Festival
Reclusive singer/rapper Lauryn Hill will make one of very few public appearances July 15 headlining the Stockholm Jazz Festival. Hill, along with fellow soul singer Erykah Badu, will hit the stage for the five-day event. The festival appearance is a part of Hill's small 10-stop European tour. This will be the second time she's performed at the event, now in its 26th year. She will also hit up Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival on July 11.
Although Hill hasn't released an album since 2002, the New Jersey native has come out of seclusion for spot performances in the past five years. Following a now defunct reconciliation album and tour with her former Fugees group members, fans became skeptical of Hill's well-being after a bizarre performance in New York two years ago. Hill appeared with a short afro, clown-like makeup on her face, and wore several layers of clothes despite the hot summer weather.
Wyclef Jean stated his concerns about her in a interview where he said that she was losing her mind. "I felt sorry for her because I think she needs psychiatric help. I feel like she's bipolar. You can't get angry with someone who's sick." Jean also said that he unsuccessfully attempted to convince Hills' mother to get the singer medical attention.
Hill became one of the music industry's most popular artists with the 1998 release of 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,' for which she won five Grammy awards. The album sold eight million copies in the U.S. plus six million copies overseas. These days Hill spends most of her time being a mother to her five children.

Re: Chartplotter and transducers
Hi Guys,
To the OP, what info do you want to display on the plotter? You could have depth (and maybe SONAR display), Speed Over Ground (SOG or GPS speed), Speed Through Water (STW or what the knot / log paddlewheel) reports, water temperature, and possible wind information too (true and apparent wind speed and direction).
There is really no way to know if your current transducers are compatible with the new plotter unless you have part numbers.
Many of the new plotters use networked sensors, and unless your current transducers output NMEA information, you are out of luck.
Lastly, you may or may not be able to have two depth transducers. This will work if the transducers are on different frequencies and will NOT work if they are on the same. For example, my boat came with ancient (and functioning) datamarine instruments for wind, depth, and speed (STW). I installed a modern Lowrance plotter / SONAR unit (LMS337 C DF) that included a dual frequency SONAR transducer (50 / 200 Hz). I mounted the transducer to the hull with some wax and it works great. However, if I run it on 50hz the older depth meter doesn't work - it blinks 0 every other second or so. If I change the Lowrance unit to work at 200 Hz (or maybe the other way around) then both depth units work fine.
My datamarine units are analog and my plotter can't use the information.
Re: Chartplotter and transducers
I believe the 521s has a transducer and costs about 50 bucks more for the depth option. The "s" is for "sounder". I have the 421s and the difference in price was less than 50 bucks when I bought it. A nice thing about getting the sounder option is you have another redundant depth gauge. The installation is a breeze and is best done with silicone in case you decide to move or remove the transducer. You should have no problem shooting through a thick fiberglass hull as long as it isn't cored.

Each depth gauge comes with its own transducer and a specific length of wire between the unit and the transducer. A shorter or longer length of wire will affect the readings.
This does require a through-hull fitting, yes. If you can live with just depth, you could probably pot a transducer (no through-hull).
The Lowrance Elite 5 does not have NMEA 2000 which would be tremendously limiting. Personally, I wouldn't buy a plotter without it.
To the OP, you could start with the Garmin plotter and transducer combo, and then you will have an NMEA 2000 network. The expandability is excellent. Extra displays, transducers, autopilot can all be easily added and will share data.
Re: Chartplotter and transducers
Was just thinking of saving g some cash. I think the transducer is a couple hundred. Also I thought the transducer was a through hull deal. I'll look more I to it. I did read something
about mounting it in the hull with some restrictions on hull thickness.
Re: Chartplotter and transducers
copa has the answer. Pot the transducer that comes with the chartplotter.
For what it is worth, if it was me, and i was looking for a 5" chartplotter/sounder combo, I go with this over the garmin:
Lowrance Elite-5 | Fishfinder Chartplotter - LOWRANCE | Marine Electronics
map chip is included, so it ends up being a better value, and is a better plotter, IMO.

Re: Chartplotter and transducers
And if the chart plotter poops out you still have depth and knot log. There was a blurb by Mainesail on cruisers forum about just such an installation since they network by 183 or 2k and with adapters you can mix and match but this is well above my pay grade.
Re: Chartplotter and transducers
I think it would help a lot if you could see if there are any part numbers on your transducers. Also, what kind of display were they being used with? Are those displays still working?
If you have working displays and transducers, I'd be tempted to leave them as they are, and just install a chartplotter.
The answer is you can make almost anything work with anything, but at what point does it become easier to replace the transducers than to battle with compatibility.
Also I find it better to have a separate display for the depth and speed, than to clutter up the chartplotter display.
Re: Chartplotter and transducers
There aren't that many companies that make transducers, so it's likely to work as long as you can figure out the correct wiring. Try it and see what happens.
Chartplotter and transducers
I am new to sailing and newer to chartplotters. I would love to get the gpsmap 521 or 527 but not sure on the transducer thing. Do I have to purchase and install a new one or will I be able to use my existing ones? I am not sure what I have at the moment but the boat has a raymarine depthsounder and knotlog with temp. Two through hull transducers. Anyway to make it work or does raymarine sell chartplotters that would work with my current setup? Thanks for any help with this matter.

Multiple Problems hoping dealer fixes on monday 4/16!!!16
I am taking my 2012 Hemi gc into the dealer on monday for some on going problems with my drivetrain i beleive i just wanted to post up and see if anyone has had the same situations so i know what to expect...
1) On initial acceleration sometimes feels like the rear takes a second to engage and it can be felt through the car. makes slight clunk noise.
2) sometimes when going into reverse from park like backing out of a space there is a groaning/vibrating noise underneath like driveshaft area? thinking maybe transfer case/Driveshaft?
3) sometimes brakes feel like they dont want to stop when cruising at highway speeds for more than say 3 miles without hitting the brake kinda feels like an old car with manual brakes and then starts braking after about 3 seconds.
4) power steering seems to make a lot of noise in the morning to the point where i obviously notice it and dont think it should
5) under heavy acceleration from a stand still sometimes from 1-2 shift 1st feels great then it shifts to second and feels like it looses all power for about 2k rpms then picks back up like nothing happened, i know it has vvt but this is beyond that and it only happens time to time not always
Im just hoping that they can recreate these problems and find a solution to them
Any suggestions as to what could be the problems here any input is appreciated.
Re: Multiple Problems hoping dealer fixes on monday 4/16!!!16
I was told the slip on initial acceleration is normal, great design.

Engine swap Chevy 350 ina a Datsun 521 truck
A friend of mine owns a `69 Datsun 521 truck. It's a project and he can't decide which direction to take it. One of his ideas is to swap a Chevy 350 engine into the truck. The only thing is, he has no idea how to go about it.
Any information on how to put a 350 in his truck and any mods he would have to make would be really appreciated.
Measure, measure, measure. Get the height and width of the engine you wanna drop in, then check for clearance in the engine compartment. Make sure your steering shaft is not in the way and that your firewall gives enough clearance. Same thing goes for the tranny. You'll probably have to fab up the motor mounts yourself along with the tranny mounts.
Sorry cant give more help.
We are putting a turbo engine (6 cyl) out of a Nissan 300Z in a 510 Datsun, and let me tell you, the modifications are plentiful.
First my buddy had to put the steering rack out of the 300z into the 510, thats a whole lot more work than I wanted to be a part of.
The fire wall was nearly completely removed, gonna have to fab up a new one.
The steering linkage from the middle of the column has to be re-routed.
We are about half way through it. Next time I remember I'll take some pics of it up at the shop.
I would think the SBC swap would be just as involved, being bigger and all. I know we will find other problems with this swap, but these are the big ones. Then we'll find out if that rearend will hold up.
Also make sure you have a big enough radiator to cool the small block, and again, you'll have to check for radiator clearance on the Datsun. Probably have to butcher up some to get it in there.
If you wanna run headers make sure you have enough clearance on the sides as well.
im putting a 383 in my nissan 280zx.. cooling is a BIG problem with them.. because the hot air stays trapped under the hood in the engine bay.. i've decided to put a 4" fan in my fender wells w/black pvc pipe as a gromet.. sanded to the contours of the fender well.. so it sucks the hot air out.. keep the sleeper look w/o a ram air hood... i dont know much about 510's but i've read so much about 240z-280zx my head could explode.. with a Z you just fab up motor mounts.. and tranny mounts.. get an adapter put on your driveshaft after getting it fabbed... and bam.. pretty much ready to go.. after all the things that go w/a SBC are added that is...
I dont think I know what this Datsun truck looks like but if it's a fairly small truck with a 4-banger engine and not meant to haul or carry heavy loads the stock rearend might not to do it.
Measure the width of the existing one and go to the junkyard to find one that might match it. You might have to narrow it depending on which one you get. Some people use Chevy S10 rear-ends and though not as strong as a 9 inch they should do it.
I put a 350 in a Mazda RX7. I had to make my own front crossmember. Cut 1" out of the oilpan because it hung into the steering rack. I had to use a log type ex manifold on one side and a rams horn on the other. The dual ex had to both be run down the same side of the car. Install a Chevy rad.
You will have to figure it out as you go.
Your rear end will be fine as long as you don't hook. Don't try to run slicks.
Front Springs
I am sure you will have to cange out the front springs.
Good luck in this build
Sorry,,,, change
As the first answer said, measure, measure and measure some more.
If I remember correctly that pickup has torsion bar front suspension.
There will be clearance problems around the transmission to the point that the floor hump may have to be cut out and a new one made. Also there may be a clearance problem at the firewall including around the distributor.
You will have to build front and rear motor mounts. I don't think that there is enough room to run a regular fan and you will have to go to electric fans.
It can be done buy you will do the "what the Heck was I thinkin many times before you are done and it takes a lot of work to make it look right and not hacked up.
All I can say is it's never as easy as it seems. I've put a 351 Cleveland into my Toyota LandCruiser and it is a great way to find new problems to overcome.
I have the engine mounted and I'm still using the Toyota gearbox. The main problems have been radiator and wiring. The power steering has been throwing up it's own problems because there isn't enough room in the engine bay to bolt the standard Ford one in. I've got the Toyota one mounted on the Ford engine ow, but it still needs more work to line it up properly.
Then there is the fun of having metric and imperial nuts, bolts and threads.
By all means go for it if you thuink it can be done, but bare in mind it will probably be more difficult than you first expect (even when you expect it to be difficult.)
Might contact JTR ( www.jagsthatrun.com ) and see if they could help. They specialize in unusual engine swaps, and they might have tried that one in the past.
Having done a blown 351w in a datsun 240z and 408w in a samurai, cooling has been most of my issues. If i did anything over again I would spent more time developing the cooling system.
You know anyone can slap a big motor in a car and make it work, the difference is how you do it. What good is a car if its not fun to work on. One time I installed a motor and didnt plan very well, i went to change out the cam and the radiator support was in the way, you had to dang near pull the motor just to change the cam. Remeber think ahead. Here are some other ideas to plan for.
Can the oil pan be removed without pulling the motor
Can the heads come off the motor while in the car
Can the cam be pulled without hitting the radiator support
How much clearance do you have to reach the trans bolts
Build an exhuast system that doesnt burn out starters from heat
build an exhaust system that doesnt block the spark plug locations
Plan for engine movement clearance.
KEEP HEADERS far enough away from fender wells it doesnt crack your paintjob from heat.
I'm working on a Pontiac Fiero and SBC.
I love to see people do this kind of thing. Big motor and small cars/trucks.
Funny, I am doing the same friggin thing, I have a 69 521 that had a 3.8L in it previously, it ran a th350 tranny so I'm trying to keep all the tranny mounts the same so I'm pushing the radiator into the grill and switching to a electric fan, I think you'll need a small scoop, I did. Routing the exhaust past the torsion bars is gonna be a problem. Post pics and progress, I'm curiuous.
Time to do some reading about swaps....

Miners Face Opening Day at NCAA Championship
Eugene, Ore.- - The UTEP women's 4x100m relay concluded the season crossing the finish line seventh in the first heat on Wednesday at Hayward Field.
"Rough start for the ladies," head coach Mika Laaksonen said. "These four girls were definitely capable of running sub 44 second race and 44.17 made the final today. We had a really bad first exchange and no chance after that. You can't make mistakes here at this level and expect to advance."
The squad consisting of Anna-Kay James, Janice Jackson, Aiyanna Stiverne and Florence Uwakwe recorded a time of 45.03 finishing 17th overall. James, Stiverne and Uwakwe will all return next season for the Miners.
Tomorrow the UTEP track and field team will kickoff the second day of the meet with the 100m hurdles at 6:20 p.m. (MT), followed by the 3,000m steeplechase at 6:35 p.m.

Stylist: Amy or LindseyRating:
I've been going to this salon for about 10 years now and I love it! This is an Aveda salon owned by Amy. She is amazing with curly hair and so is Lindsey. Either of them would do an absolutely fantastic job on curly hair. I have very long 3b curls and I always feel confident that they can treat my curls right. You won't be disappointed!
Stylist: Any of the stylists, they all do a great job!
I've been going to this salon for seven years now and they are amazing! They do such a great job with curly hair! Not once have I had one complaint about how they have done my hair. They also listen very well to what the customer wants and they give excellent advice. The cost is a bit more than some of the other salons in the Iowa City area but it's completely worth it.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's soccer 2014 schedule has been released with the Lumberjacks playing in 19 matches.
"I think the schedule is a good balance for us," said head coach Andre Luciano. "It gives us some good road trips against some quality opponents and I think the most important thing is these 19 games help us in our quest of being one of the top six teams in conference."
The Lumberjacks will have 9 matches at home this upcoming season that includes Valparaiso, South Dakota, Wright State and in-state opponent Grand Canyon.
"There are going to be a lot of opponents this year that we have not played a lot in years past," said Luciano. "It is always nice to have Grand Canyon on our schedule since it has developed into a little rivalry."
The Lumberjacks' first Big Sky Conference match will be at home this season against Portland State, which hosted last season's Big Sky Championships. The Lumberjacks will also have four more Big Sky matches at home this season against Sacramento State, Eastern Washington, Montana and Southern Utah.
Northern Arizona will travel to Moscow, Idaho to face new member of the Big Sky, the University of Idaho. NAU will also travel to conference opponents, North Dakota, Northern Colorado, Weber State and Idaho State.
The Lumberjacks will return six All-Big Sky conference selections from last year including Diane Buzzard, Sarah Tarver, Savannah Berry, Haley Wingender, Danny Muniz and the Big Sky's Golden Boot Award Winner, Cierra Gamble. Returners from last year's squad scored a combined 23 goals and 22 assists.

RIT Gets $1.5 Million To Move Downtown
Rochester, N.Y. - Senator Charles Schumer announced Tuesday that the Rochester Institute of Technology will receive a $1.5 million award for its new urban entrepreneurship.
The award comes from the Economic Development Administration and will help RIT renovate the historic Rochester Savings Bank on Franklin St.
The building will be the new home of RIT's new Urban Entrepreneurship Center. The building will house new workers, start-up businesses, and entrepreneurs to receive technical expertise and training from RIT.
Renovations will be made in the now unoccupied portion of the building, consisting of approximately 25,000 square feet, as well as updates to the building's mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems and basement/utility areas.
The total project will cost approximately $4 million and construction is slated to take 15 months once it begins.
