- 30 minutes (of running)
- 30 burpees
- 30 push ups
- and of course 30+ of whatever else Jay threw at us in class
I ran a bit before and after class for a total of 35 min, did 30 burpees in class + 10 on my own, 30+ tricep dips on the box, 30 push ups, assisted pull ups, chest press, obliques, a little yoga flow and a few other odds and ends. Already feelin' it!
Drizzled with a little bit of icing...
Let me tell ya, these are divine! So divine that I had to freeze some to save for later. Don't ask me when these holiday treats are supposed to end. Seems like they're here to stay for a little while (in addition to those few extra holiday lbs).
*In addition to the pumpkin substitution, I added a few raisins inside and roasted pecans to the top.
Sorry about the all over the place post. As you can see, I'm diving into 2013! It's going to be a good one. For those of you with an ipad/iphone, any favorite apps you love? I have a smartphone, but don't download or use very many apps.
P.S. I totally dropped the ball on Decembers' #FMSphotoaday, but I'm back on for January. You can follow my photos on instagram or twitter. Happy New Year!

What is lithotripsy?
Lithotripsy is a noninvasive procedure that treats kidney stones that are too large to pass through the urinary tract. Lithotripsy uses ultrasound shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be eliminated in the urine. Lithotripsy is also used to treat stones of the digestive system, such as gallstones and pancreatic stones.
The most common form of lithotripsy is extracorporeal (outside the body) shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). A machine called a lithotripter generates the ultrasound shock waves that travel through your body until they reach the dense kidney stone. The stone shatters when the ultrasound waves hit it.
Lithotripsy is the most common procedure for treating kidney stones. Other methods include endoscopic procedures and surgery. Discuss all of your treatment options with your doctor to understand which options are right for you.
Types of lithotripsy
There are two types of ESWL methods:
Table ESWL involves lying on a water-filled cushion on top of a procedure table. The ultrasound shock waves travel through the cushion and into your body. This is the most common form of ESWL.
Water bath ESWL involves sitting in a water bath. The ultrasound shock waves travel through the water and into your body.

Evaluation of aerial remote sensing techniques for vegetation management in power line corridors
Mills, Steven, Gerardo, Marcos, Li, Zhengrong, Cai, Jinhai, Hayward, Ross F., Mejias, Luis, & Walker, Rodney A. (2010) Evaluation of aerial remote sensing techniques for vegetation management in power line corridors. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 48(9), pp. 3379-3390.
|Accepted Version (PDF 4MB)
The following paper presents an evaluation of airborne sensors for use in vegetation management in powerline corridors. Three integral stages in the management process are addressed including, the detection of trees, relative positioning with respect to the nearest powerline and vegetation height estimation. Image data, including multi-spectral and high resolution, are analyzed along with LiDAR data captured from fixed wing aircraft. Ground truth data is then used to establish the accuracy and reliability of each sensor thus providing a quantitative comparison of sensor options. Tree detection was achieved through crown delineation using a Pulse-Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) and morphologic reconstruction applied to multi-spectral imagery. Through testing it was shown to achieve a detection rate of 96%, while the accuracy in segmenting groups of trees and single trees correctly was shown to be 75%. Relative positioning using LiDAR achieved a RMSE of 1.4m and 2.1m for cross track distance and along track position respectively, while Direct Georeferencing achieved RMSE of 3.1m in both instances. The estimation of pole and tree heights measured with LiDAR had a RMSE of 0.4m and 0.9m respectively, while Stereo Matching achieved 1.5m and 2.9m. Overall a small number of poles were missed with detection rates of 98% and 95% for LiDAR and Stereo Matching.

More affordable housing due on Bend's Eastside
Housing Works secures funds for Phase 2 of Eastlake Village
BEND, Ore. - Housing Works announced Friday the funding of a second phase of Eastlake Village, meaning 40 more units of affordable housing will be coming in about a year to the complex near NE 27th Street and Highway 20.
The development will take place on a 2.64-acre parcel to the east (across Belleuvue Drive) from Phase 1, located near the Forum Shopping Center.
With vacancy rates below 1 percent and rents rising, the need for affordable housing is greater than ever.
"We have people in our community calling every day, asking for help in finding a place to live," said Tom Kemper, Housing Works' executive director.
"Housing Works has been working to get this project funded for the past three years, and we are ecstatic to be able to respond to the needs of our community," Kemper added.
Eastlake Village II will provide a home where individuals and families with low incomes can thrive, the agency said.
The design for Eastlake Village II mirrors the highly desirable and award-winning design of Phase I and will offer one-, two- and three bedroom unit configurations.
Residents will enjoy expansive decks, private entries, windows that provide exceptional natural light and desirable interior amenities. As an affordable property, income restrictions will apply, and rents will be well below market rates.
Construction is expected to begin by the end of the year, bringing over $6 million into the community and numerous job opportunities, Housing Works said.
Build time is expected to be 9-10 months, which means pre-leasing will begin in about a year.
Keith Wooden, real estate and facilities director for Housing Works, said the development was awarded an allocation of low-income housing tax credits from Oregon Housing and Community Services.
"The tax credits and a bank loan will be the primary source of funds for the project," Wooden said, with a "total project cost expected to be slightly over $7 million."
Housing Works is the largest affordable housing provider in Central Oregon. It provides people with quality, safe and affordable homes; and through a number of collaborations, it provides the resources to help people stabilize their lives.
Housing Works obtains public funding from federal, state and local governments and leverages these funds with private capital from local financial institutions and foundations to provide quality housing that meets communities' needs.
Housing Works developments in Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras and Sisters have won awards for innovation, economic impact, design, beautification, and historic preservation and enhancement. For more information, visit www.housing-works.org.

This is a fascinating video breakdown, summarizing the state-by-state voting stats as America heads for its Presidential Election:
This is a fascinating video breakdown, summarizing the state-by-state voting stats as America heads for its Presidential Election:
Thanks for the post, Marty. I have been following the US elections and it is quite an amazing come back for Mitt Romney, who was trailing in all of the polls until the first Presidential debate when there has been quite a turn around. The Gallup poll (regarded by commentators as the most reliable in past years, although apparently they have got it wrong on two or three occasions) has had Mitt Romney ahead by 7 points (now down to 6) while most of the other polls have had Obama ahead. The Rasmussen poll (which is more Republican leaning) has 49% to Romney and 48% to Obama, but the other polls show the gap has closed between them and many have them neck and neck, so it is obviously Romney who is on an upswing. As you say, it all comes down to the Electoral College but I have taken heart from what commentators have said about the Gallup poll being the most reliable predictor of election outcomes of all the polls. However, commentators are confused by the much wider margin of the Gallup poll and have indicated that Romney's lead would drop after the second presidential debate was factored in, as Obama is said to have won that debate. However today the latest Gallup poll, factoring that debate in, shows that Romney is maintaining the lead although one point down.
As you say we must pray that the Catholic vote will swing in behind Romney, the better of the two candidates on moral grounds and he also has a very good running mate in Ryan.
I wouldn't like to take a bet on the outcome!

Obama is not 'pushing this intrinsic evil [, abortion.]. He seeks to minimise the number of abortions. He does not seek to do so in line with Catholic teaching, which supports the criminalization of all abortions, not as a means to the end of fewer abortions, but as an end in itself. Romney does not uphold this teaching either. One reason i believe for the almost complete ineffectiveness of the pro-life movement (think Spain, Ireland in recent years) is the extreme legal positions put forward, and the exaggeration of pro-choice people's positions. This post is a good example. It will get positive responses from others with similar extreme (I mean this literally, not critically) views, but cannot enlist support from the middle ground. I say: respect your opponent, and come to terms.
Marty how many babies has Obama actually KILLED .. you know who HE is personally responsible for !! The US people also vote for a Congress and a Senate ..ahhh what about their responsibility for abortion policies !!!
We in NZ kill approx 18,000 unborn every year … do you get carried away about NZ politicians whom have a DONT want to KNOW attitude to these stats … ahh by the way Marty ALL NZ PARTIES in parliament are guilty at this attitude!
Christ said what you do to the least of mine you do to ME … Romney has made it very clear he doesn't give a stuff about the least of mine ..
This same lunatic Romney would bring the globe into another WW3 ..ahh how many deaths would this kill !! Or is it only the unborn you are concerned about ! He made it clear in this debate he would support Israel no matter what she did, recently apparently either a Israels politicians or military personal skited they have the weaponry to dominate the world !!
What about the children in US whom parents are forced to live on only $2 per day per child …Romney has made it clear he will even cut this payout !! to assure his rich friends get a tax cut ! ahh the least of mine Marty !!
I genuinely hope Obarma is returned I seriously am concerned at the lunatic you support gets in ..GOD help US and GOD help the Globe
Werahiko and Paulinem, I take it from your comments that neither of you are Catholic.
Teresina &Marty
I take it from your comments that you are Mormons
Whatever the results of this election, it will have consequences for the whole world.
Romney does seem to be more keen to go to war than Obama, but then that may just be my impression from the media and not grounded in fact.
Ultimately though, as Paulinem points out, "what you do to the least of mine you do to ME", Romney looks to want to turn back the tide on the wholesale murder of the least (the unborn) and by doing so will bring down the favour of God (in my opinion) and therefore make war less likely (as war is divine punishment).
What about the children in US whom parents are forced to live on only $2 per day per child …Romney has made it clear he will even cut this payout !! to assure his rich friends get a tax cut ! ahh the least of mine Marty !!
This is where I think a number of good Catholics get confused. It's far worse (on an order of magnitude) to kill a child before they are born, than to make living difficult for those who have the good fortune not be killed by their mothers. Man does not live by bread alone.
Obama is not 'pushing this intrinsic evil [, abortion.]. He seeks to minimise the number of abortions
Actually, he is pushing abortion. Seeking to minimise abortions was, in essence, a lie. Obama is the most pro-abortion president the USA has ever had. Under the Bush presidency, abortion procedures funded by the USA for outside of the USA had the funding stopped. One of the first things Obama did when he came to office was to start funding again. He promotes the funding of Planned Parenthood – the biuggest abortion provider in the USA. Many states have de-funded Planned Parenthood, but Obama is taking legal action to force them to continue funding abortion. Abortion is at ther forefront of Obama's, and the Democratice party's platform.
I don't quite know where to start with your almost hysterical shill for Obama, and attack on Romney. Omaba's policy toward Israel is exactly the same as Romney's – did you watch the 3rd debate on Foreign Affairs? Obama supports Israel in the very same way – Romney would continue the same policy.
What about the children in US whom parents are forced to live on only $2 per day per child…..
What a load of rubbish -where on earth did you get that from? The fact is that the USA under Obama is heading for bankruptcy – another four years of Obama policies would see the USA in the same position as Greece, Portugal etc, and so severely weakened that the poor – and everyone in the USA would suffer more than they are now. Under Obama, there are 15 million less jobs in the US – 30+ million people unemployed, 47 million people on food stamps, average income is down by $4500 per year. The cost of Obama's medical scheme is such that many employers could not afford to pay it, and would go bankrupt. Obama has been, and would continue to be a trajedy for the USA, with his socialist – almost communist policies.
If he is re-elected, America would cease to be the leader of the free world, and Radical Islam would become much more rampant than it is now.
God bless America, and throw Obama out.
"This same lunatic Romney would bring the globe into another WW3″
Says who? You? Are you on drugs? Romney is trying to stop America going bankrupt. If they go bankrupt, the "least of these" will be worse off. They don't have money to keep doling out. I think that many NZ politicians are a joke. Just as bad as many other death-dealers around the world.
But there is a difference: Obama is promoting and pushing abortion on demand, and trying to sell it overseas into African countries and others. He is exporting his death-services to other poor nations, and bribes them into it, by making them accept his policies, if they want foreign aid.
Helensbay, are you one of the nz bishops by any chance?
How shallow your morals when the same policies are carried out here in NZ,yet your silence on Key and his cronies is deafening.
Maybe you have caught his memory loss as well
God save NZ from hypocrites
Helens Bay.
How can you judge me or my moral stance on anything? Because I disagree with Obama, how does that translate into my opinion of John Key?
Look at yourself, Helens Bay – take the plank from your own eye – then maybe you can help me get the speck out of mine.
Mrs Bay,
Your silence on anything moral is deafening.
Obama is very bad.
Do you agree?
Key is a muppet?
Do you agree?
Time to climb off the fence Mrs Bay.
Thanks for the videos Mr Rethul.
I second Mrs Teresina's question.
Mr Werahiko, are you Catholic?
"Respect your opponent, and come to terms"?
What happens when your opponent is Hitler-esque?
Terisina I have been a catholic as has my family possibly longer than you or yours .. I believe you owe me an apology please !!
Bush yes interesting him declaring he was pro life .. very interesting when you consider he and his cronies invaded Iraq illegally to destroy weapons of mass destructions … AHH how many WMD were found !!!! How many Iraqis and Afghanistan people were killed from this invasion ..how many lives were totally destroyed … Bushes support for Israel illegal invasion of Gaza and support for them bombing a school in Gaza … YES the kids were in the school … ahh Bush gave full support for the blockade of Gaza by Israel did you know many Gaza Palestine children had to look in rubbish tins for food they were so desperate etc YES he sure was a good man a very very PRO life man Bush !!!! [edited – bordering on the blasphemous]
Don the Kiwi why have you a problem with providing free health care .NZ has had this since well before I was born … do you object to the fact that any NZer can get free health care if needed ie free hospital care … we pay it by our taxes ..US pays it by insurances ..but yes I see where you are coming any support to the least of mine is evil especially for the sick and needy… Don what would Jesus have done given to the rich in tax cuts or assisted the poor!!
Yes US has problems with its monetary problems too many rich P..Ks manipulating the economy and the US government policy to make them selves very very rich.They want Romney in power is as he promises to make them even richer … My opinon the system needs to change back to Roosevelt Keynesian economy !!
Abortion re Obama ..give me a break when I was proactive in the 90s for the pro life movement ..US had abortion on demand THEN as they had NINE month abortions them ..NOTHING has changed no matter what [edited, not adhering to comments policy] you listen to since then then…I assure you all the so called crimes you accuse Obama of was in full practice back then ..Bush stopping funding was only a sop for his voters ie getting reelected !! I REPEAT the president is only ONE politician there is a congress and a senate who make the decisions re abortion!!!!
Foreign policy on this debate … Ahh Romney said I will make sanctions it tougher on Iran ..ahh what has Iran done to deserve this nasty treatment ..
Nuclear ..ahh who else has nuclear weapons US Israel Pakistan Great Britain France … Russia etc
Did you know the US lead sanctions pre Iraq war cost according to UNESCO the lives of over half a MILLION children in Iraq !! What harm are these present sanctions causing people in Iran and Romney wants to make it worse ???
Totally agree with your comments, Valerie. Helens Bay, the reason I questioned whether Werahiko and Paulinem are Catholic is because every Catholic knows the Church's teachings on abortion and other moral issues. Therefore, any Catholic would not be pushing for a pro-abortion politician such as Obama. I ask the same question of you, Helens Bay: are you a Catholic? If you are then you should know better and not be barracking for a man like Obama who is funding the evil of abortion. And good on those Mormons who are against the evil of abortion. I wonder whose soul stands the better chance of attaining heaven: the Mormon who is against abortion or a "Catholic" who supports abortion or at least turns a blind eye to it by promoting those politians who do? Anyone who knows their 10 Commandments, which I'm sure the Mormons do, will be able to give you the answer. So if you don't know the answer perhaps you should ask.
As Marty has said Romney is the better of the two politicians and we are talking about the American elections, so how does John Key (who leaves a lot to be desired) come into it?
And as regards war – how trustworthy is Obama going to be this term if he gets re-elected? For anyone who has forgotten or doesn't know – in March this year he got caught out on mic talking to the Russians, which has raised fears that if he is elected he will cave in to Russian demands in respect of the US missile defence system:
"SEOUL, South Korea — At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have "more flexibility" to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him "space."
The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were let into the room for remarks by the two leaders.
The exchange:
President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space.
President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…
President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.
President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."
How trustworthy is that …?
Mrs Pauline,
You're right about US foreign policy.
They're nutters who love to rule the world.
They have caused the deaths of thousands in Iraq.
And many other countries.
By their incursions and secret ops, they have murdered many.
The Yanks are some of the biggest hypocrites when it comes to freedom and equality.
But you're in a dream world if you think Obama isn't part of that.
Romney, I'm not a fan.
I think he'll be just the same, just like Obama has been like Bush.
When it comes to drone attacks, Obama is worse than Bush.
Killing women and children with the push of a button.
Romney, Bush, Obama, they're all the same when it comes to foreign policy.
Obama has killed more people with drone missiles than Bush ever did.
And we all agree that Bush was a war-nutter.
Obama is ok with assassination of people without evidence.
He used capital punishment on Osama Bin Laden.
How is he for the "least of these my brethren"??
Obama is trying to give health care for the everybody.
But they have no money to fund that.
So he's going to drive the country into further debt.
They're already 16 trillion in debt.
They have no money to pay for the health care.
Also, the health care includes increased abortion, increased contraception.
How, as a Catholic, who should value human life, "the least of these my brethren", can you accept that?
The least of the my brethren includes those in the womb.
We want care for the poor. Yes,
But who's going to pay or it? You?
Obama should be trying to stop abortion, just like he is trying to make health care for all. He's just one politician, but he should be trying to reduce it, not promote it, just like he is trying to make health care for all.
Obama loves abortion.
He thinks it's a great solution.
He's for abortion.
He's for the murder of babies when they get in the way of life.
He's for having abortion as a solution for all women, if they want it.
He wants women to be able to murder their children if they want that.
Mr Rethul wrote about this a while back: http://www.beingfrank.co.nz/legacy-of-obama
The great Obama!!
Mrs Pauline, I understand if you don't like Romney, but how can you like Obama?
Paulinem, I don't apologise to anyone who pushes for pro-abortion politicians. And belonging to a golf club doesn't necessarily make you a golfer – there are many "Catholics" in name only who do not follow the Church's teachings and I don't consider them Catholics. And if you were in the prolife movement in the 90s (which I was active in in the 80s) then you will know that the prolife movement advocates voting for the politician who is the most against abortion. The prolive movement in America is anti-Obama because of his record on abortion.
As regards war, there is ample evidence that nothing has changed under Obama:
"Compare Mr. Obama's use of drone strikes with that of his predecessor. During the Bush administration, there was an American drone attack in Pakistan every 43 days; during the first two years of the Obama administration, there was a drone strike there every four days.[43]
—Peter Bergen, April 2012
Valarie ..who pays for the free health care here ..WE Do with taxes ..who should pay over in US those whom can well afford to via Taxes ..but I understand they do this via insurance whats the difference ie taxes via insurance .
WHATS your problem with free health care .. and YES we pay for abortions etc as well and no I don't like it, but its reality and its not going to change in a hurry NO matter whose in power here..I assure you the great catholic Bill English wont change this policy !
I repeat I believe the US economic problems will only be resolved as they will be across the globe when we get rid of the neo liberalism economic system
I remind you Valarie a lot of US policies and actions are not decided by the president but by forces behind him ..when you get elected to power in US you have to do a "deal with the devil" its the only reason they get elected re cost of election … and their is always a price to pay when you use others money favours are called in ….behind the scenes power is pulled…. But the President will be blamed for actions he really is not responsible for .. Corporate US decide policy there despite who gets elected and the abortion problem over there is as bad as it was nearly 20yrs ago NOTHING has changed ( as has NZs abortion problem)… you kidding yourself if you think other wise !
RE who gets elected in truth its the US peoples problem not mine But to me Romney is a scary potential leader…
Teresina a true Catholic will look at the BIG picture in their vote ..they wont hide I am a catholic (but in reality in name only) by voting for those opposed to abortion etc Abortion was made legal under 2 circumstances in 1977 ..how has people like you achieved by voting pro life ..abortions are now 18,000 per annum or a class room of kids ..its got worse and parliament etc don't want to know ..
Peter Dunn is pro life ..he also is the biggest ripp of (I in for money and power) of all the politicians in Parliament …he voted to sell our state assets …it was obvious this guys a fraud years ago and I believe NO true catholic would vote for him despite him being so called anti abortion
Nothing has changed as regards abortion, Paulinem, because too many Christians, so-called, continue to vote on party lines for their own selfish interests or where their political persuasions lie. I've been apolitical since I became involved in the prolife movement – obviously you learnt nothing from your involvement, and so it has been for you a complete waste of time.
No it wasn't a waste I learnt a lot Teresina I realised most of those involved in the pro life movement had a mob mentality they follow the leader regardless as you are showing. ie they didnt think for themselves..easy to hide behind I am abortion only but this is WRONG!
YOU have a responsibility to vote for politicians and party polices that are best OVERALL for the WHOLE community, which includes many other issues besides abortion. Peter Dunn is an classic example for the need to consider many other issues besides abortion
Christ would expect nothing less, from you as there are many problems in our community that Christ would expect you to become aware of and vote accordingly based on his Gospel message for living life. As christians we should be leaders in the community speaking out on the many issues from the economy environment and family life etc etc we are God's voices in the community.
Yes this could mean voting and suppoting for a politician who was pro abortion IF his/her parties policies were overall good for NZ. AND If he/she was a genuine caring person just a bit deluded re abortion
Politicians are pro abortion because prolifers have not been evangelising them in a Christ like manner, as to the reality of abortion ie the killing of the unborn .
Our abortion problem is Gods problem to fix
I remind you its NOT politicians that abort the children or have abortions it is PEOPLE in our community who CHOOSE to kill their unborn or kill or support of the Killing other peoples unborn NO one forces them to do this they CHOOSE to do it themselves . PEOPLE Tersina PEOPLE
Ah, paulinem,
you may have noticed that I've edited parts of your post (#13).
Please try to keep your language in check, it would be appreciated!
– Marty
Marty PLEASE explain I said and Jesus wept … this is a quote from the bible …how is this blaspheming PLEASE explain
I was referring in that paragraph to Bush preaching he was pro Life but his record re Iraq Afghanistan Palestine is very very anti life ..
I am not sure what and who is the Jesus you know but the Jesus I know and love would have wept at this deliberate destruction of life and above all the hypocrisy from those responsible preaching they were pro life.
My referral to Bush in my comments was because I see Romney is a Bush clone ..in other words a very dangerous person to have in power.
The other one you deleted arnt you being a bit precocious is is a very common remark in hinterland for hyperbole information given out by people..heck the media regularly say this in various forums ie TV and newspapers.
Is the reality you are upset as Marty I questioned your post with saying Obama was a baby killer as being ridiculous and you didnt like the truth being pointed out!!
Mrs Pauline,
You don't like Bush. Ok.
You don't like Romney. Ok.
Do you like Obama?
Mrs Pauline,
Yes this could mean voting and suppoting for a politician who was pro abortion IF his/her parties policies were overall good for NZ. AND If he/she was a genuine caring person just a bit deluded re abortion
Let me rewrite your comment; and we'll see if you accept it.
"Yes this could mean voting and supporting for a politician who was anti-semetic IF his/her parties policies were overall good for NZ. AND If he/she was a genuine caring person just a bit deluded re killing the Jews"
Or try this one:
"Yes this could mean voting and supporting for a politician who was pro killing 2-year-olds IF his/her parties policies were overall good for NZ. AND If he/she was a genuine caring person just a bit deluded re killing 2-year-olds"
Do you see your problem?
Mrs Pauline,
Our abortion problem is Gods problem to fix
Let me rewrite your comment:
Our murder problem is Gods problem to fix
Our child-sex-abuse problem is Gods problem to fix
Our child-rape problem is Gods problem to fix
Do you see your problem?
The other one you deleted arnt you being a bit precocious is is a very common remark in hinterland for hyperbole information given out by people..heck the media regularly say this in various forums ie TV and newspapers.
Is the reality you are upset as Marty I questioned your post with saying Obama was a baby killer as being ridiculous and you didnt like the truth being pointed out!!
Because a remark or expression is used in various forms of media surely does not mean that it must thus be acceptable on BF.?
The second quoted sentence … in questioning Marty's statement re Obama being a baby killer you gave your opinion not a statement of proven fact so why would that be what upset Marty? Obama's efforts to force US States to keep funding Family Planning clinics with their abortion services and doing his bit to extend FP's work in overseas countries does seem to show that he is pro-abortion in my opinion.
Apparently, Our Holy Father (remember him?) has spoken. Let's see what he has to say about "non-negotiables"
My simple understanding is that there is a time for war (in the face of an aggressor). There is NEVER a time for abortion.
It may be a biblical phrase, but it is often used in a manner unbecoming its lofty origin. The manner in which you used it (given tone is hard to infer via written text) left, for me, the intent doubtful.
The fact that you swore in the same post did not help. In terms of the language employed by posters in a thread for which I am responsible, let me be clear: I will not tolerate people swearing on such threads.
I think you'll find the other thread posters at being frank would feel the same way.
"My simple understanding is that there is a time for war (in the face of an aggressor)"
Not according to Jesus
So, to follow your line of thought, if somebody (pardon this example) attacks your family/loved ones, you would……………..turn the other cheek (on the basis that you are in the vicinity when this occurs).
And directly related to this, the world should just "turn the other cheek" when Adolf invaded.Again, if I understand you correctly, the church (by implication) should not 'celebrate' the battle of Lepanto?
Next, I guess you gonna say that you are against the death penalty?
Yes,Abenader the Battle of Lepanto stopped the enemy at the door.
And if we are realistic there will be more battles to fight.
Some things are worth fighting for and some things worth fighting against.
But do check out the Cathechism of the Catholic Church from about 230 et seq
Mr Dominican,
Thanks for suggestion. I have begun reading.
Mr Abenader,
Yes, one cannot be properly human in one's ethics if one supports abortion or euthanasia, both of which are the direct killing of an innocent human being, i.e., murder. It's like what Nazis were into, killing the handicapped, the elderly, the weak, the fragile.
Where is the addendum to the commandment "Thou shall not KIll!
Helens Bay, Christ gave to Peter the power of the keys to bind and loose. Here is a bit of an explanation of that:
"Power of the Keys, a power given, according to Matthew 16:19, to St. Peter by Christ, understood as the power to admit or exclude from church membership (excommunicate), to set church policy and teachings (dogma), to render binding interpretations of Sacred Scripture (ancient rabbis were known to make binding interpretations of the Mosaic law), and to bind and loose sins. The verb loose (or freed) is used this way in John 20:23, Rev 1:5 and by the Early Church Fathers.[1] It is a power that Roman Catholics understand to have been conferred at first on St. Peter and afterwards on his successors in the office of the Roman Catholic Papacy. This power was given to St. Peter (originally named Simon) in Matthew 16:13 and following:
13When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, 15 others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. 18 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."[2]"
What the Church says as regards self-defence is set out in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I am sure you are familiar with – that is the addendum that you asked about.
"The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing. "The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one's own life; and the killing of the aggressor. . . . The one is intended, the other is not."65
2264 Love toward oneself remains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore it is legitimate to insist on respect for one's own right to life. Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow:
If a man in self-defense uses more than necessary violence, it will be unlawful: whereas if he repels force with moderation, his defense will be lawful. . . . Nor is it necessary for salvation that a man omit the act of moderate self-defense to avoid killing the other man, since one is bound to take more care of one's own life than of another's.66″
Paulinem, Archbishop Chaput has made a statement re voting for politicians in the US elections, urging Catholics to vote against pro abortion politicians:
"Archbishop Chaput: Be Catholic before you are Democrat or Republican
By Carl Bunderson and Matthew A. Rarey
Rome, Italy, Oct 25, 2012 / 04:00 am (CNA/EWTN News).- As the country approaches election day in two weeks, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia is encouraging Catholic voters to place their faith above their allegiance to political parties.
"I'm always encouraging our people minimally to vote, maximally to run for political office, and make sure that they're Catholic prior to being Democrat or Republican and that they put that into practice politically," he told CNA in Rome on Oct. 22.
Archbishop Chaput echoed the calls of other American bishops to have their flocks consider their faith in the voting booth.
"We do believe in the separation of church and state, but we don't believe in the separation of faith from our political life," he said.
"It's very important for Catholics to make distinctions when voting that they never support intrinsic evils like abortion, which is evil in all circumstances. That's a lot different from different economic policies" that people can reasonably disagree on, the archbishop explained."
Mrs Bay,
Regarding the "Thou shalt not kill", what do you make of Pres. Obama ordering the assassination of Osama Bin Laden? And approving of the killing (murdering) of many other men, women, and children, in Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan?
Teresina that was written for US voters on US elections NOT for us in NZ and it was one persons opinion ..thankfully we have several parties to choose between.The issue of pro life is important BUT so is the economy concern for the least of those in our society and of course the care of God's environment
I dont know a lot about US internal politics and DONT want to know the nitty gritty .. as I prefer to concentrate on NZ ..
BUT in saying that I find it sad this guy doesn't mention US environment record which is deplorable they are the biggest polluter in the planet and also their use of the FINITE global oil supplies which they use like gluttons this is I believe the REAL reason for the conflicts in Iraq Afghanistan ( a oil pipeline goes through this country from Russia ( which has the most oil supplies fields in the globe )…it is so US can control the globe oil supplies and assure they get the oil at prices they want !
My final suggestion to you is to read the scripture reading for yesterdays mass at the end I put the reflection for yesterday from Marist messenger
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO READ "THE Gospel" ..being a christian is not easy it means stepping out of our comfort zone We are GODS voice in our community we MUST be aware of the wider problems in our society
On second thought I decided to include the other readings as they are rather lovely and motivating
Brothers and sisters: I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones.
What is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
R. (5b) The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
Exult, you just, in the LORD;
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
with the ten stringed lyre chant his praises.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
For upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
But the plan of the LORD stands forever;
the design of his heart, through all generations.
Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
But see, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
Jesus said to his disciples: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Thursday 25 October
Ps.33, Ephesians 3:14-21, Luke 12:49-53
Opposition and persecution
We can't expect being Christian to make us popular. Jesus certainly wasn't. He made many enemies and they eventually had him killed. Like Jesus, we must expect opposition, persecution and ridicule. Our western world, in particular, is becoming increasingly hostile to Christian teaching and values. Being Christian is not easy in today's society, but it wasn't meant to be ("Take up your cross daily and follow me").
But always remember that we are not alone in the struggle. We have each other (our Christian community) and, most of all, we have the Lord ("I am with you always").
Marist Messenger – A Catholic Monthly Magazine
AS Gods voice Teresina we MUST be aware and speak out on the many issues and scrutinise ALL policies of the parties and the candidates ..
we have many so called pro life politicians like Bill English and Peter Dunn who know that there is NO will to bring the abortion debate into parliament so they wont have to stand up for their beliefs…. as Gods voice you need to be aware of the other issues also before you make your choice in an election…
Abortion will change IN nz when the will is in the community to change re its GODS WILL AS WELL ..
In case you didn't notice, Paulinem, this post is on the US elections, and I am supporting what Marty says that he hopes the Catholic vote goes to Romney rather than Obama because of Obama is so pro-abortion – to the best of my knowledge Bill English isn't a candidate in the US presidential elections. The points you mention pale into insignificance when you consider the numbers of abortions in the States every year. As Archbishop Chaput states, the right to life is a foundation issue and everything else is secondary. For that matter, you will be aware that in the past the NZ Bishops Conference has urged Catholics in NZ to vote for prolife candidates – that is what the gospel message is bound up in, protecting life from conception until natural death.
"… people who are practicing Catholics cannot have alternate views on abortion," he stated. "Such foundational issues have a huge impact and it's important that Catholics make those distinctions."
"A person (candidate) might be right on a lot of secondary issues but wrong on the foundational issues. And if that's the case, it would be very difficult for a Catholic to vote for someone who, for example, favors unlimited access to abortion … undermines the meaning of marriage or supports policies that really undermine the foundation of our culture."

Once again, another sad rant from Paulinem.
Sorry Paulinem, you are wrong, again, on every count. Whether voting in USA or here, from the Catholic perspective, it doesn't matter – the same principles apply, whether from Bp. Chaput in Pensylvania, or Bp. Pat Dunn in Auckland.
The issue of pro life is important BUT so is the economy concern for the least of those in our society and of course the care of God's environment
Being pro-life is way more important than ANY economic consideration. Abortion is a crime against humanity that cries to God for vengeance. Abortion is one of the five totally non-negotiable principles, and we are bound under pain of mortal sin, to not vote for a political candidate who makes abortion one of his/her main platforms – Obama is such a politician. When it comes to politics in NZ, the only politicians that made it a policy platform was Helen Clark, and today, most Green Party members, and some Labour Party members. I am not aware that any National, Maori, (Peter Dunne) Party, NZ First or Conseravtive Party members make it a platform of their election policy. Most of the other parties don't go there, because it is a hot potatoe.
The US is not the greatest poluter on the planet despite popular anti-USA propaganda to the contrary – China is, probably folowed by India, Russia and any large emerging economy from the third world, whose pollution is not measured, because they are emerging. And contrary to popular belief, the US gets very little of its oil from the Middle East – the European countries do though. So the claim that the US has persued wars in the Middle East for oil are patently false, but it sounds good when the Green Party says it – the Greens are the most hypocritical of the political parties – they lie to disguise their communist agenda.
And finally, thank you for the Scriptures – I read or hear them – each day at 8.00 am. Mass.
God bless you, Paulinem.
Don the Kiwi said:
"Abortion is a crime against humanity that cries to God for vengeance. Abortion is one of the five totally non-negotiable principles, and we are bound under pain of mortal sin, to not vote for a political candidate who makes abortion one of his/her main platforms – Obama is such a politician."
A great post, Don. That sums it up succinctly.
God does not do vengance
Mrs Bay,
Still waiting for an answer to #36.
What do you make of Obama ordering and approving of killing?
God does not do vengeance
How do you know that? Is this your personal intuition? Or is it from a special revelation? Or from some Scripture? Or from some teaching of the Church?
How do you know that?
Vengeance is mine says the Lord.Romans 12:19-20
What do you make of John Key approving of killing?
Mrs Bay,
That's irrelevant.
Your red herring is a sad re-direct.
It is an obvious manifestation of your lack of ability to properly engage in rational debate and dialogue.
Why can't you answer a simple question Mrs Bay?
Why can't you dialogue?
Is it because your hero Obama is actually a killer and you can't admit it?
Helen's Bay, the Catechism states that there are indeed four sins that cry out to God for vegence, one of them being murder:
"Intentional homicide
2268 The fifth commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance.69″
"1867 The catechetical tradition also recalls that there are "sins that cry to heaven": the blood of Abel,139 the sin of the Sodomites,140 the cry of the people oppressed in Egypt,141 the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan,142 injustice to the wage earner.143
1868 Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
– by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
– by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
– by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
– by protecting evil-doers."
Mrs Teresina,
Thank you for that quote from the catechism.
Vengeance, in this way, is talking about justice being administered by God to those who are cold-heartedly intent upon doing evil.
Mrs Bay,
This entry from Fr Z reminded me of you.
Why is it that some people just can't be honest about where they stand?
Why wont Sr Simone Campbell answer a simple direct question about abortion
That's correct, Val, the catechism explains that vengeance is actually justice. Don has stated "vengeance" as per the catechism. So, the four sins that cry out to God for justice:
"Most Catholics are familiar with the term mortal sin. Mortal sins deprive the soul of grace. They are serious transgressions of God's law, done freely and deliberately with a clear understanding of what they are. Their result is to deny a soul entrance to heaven.
There are particular mortal sins that are so evil that they are said to be sins that cry to heaven for vengeance: murder (Gn 4:10), sodomy (Gn 17:20-21), oppression of the poor (Ex 2:23), and defrauding workers of their just wages (Jas 5:4)."
As Fr Z says to Sr Simone Campbell (see Val's link above), you may play with words but, "you can't fool God"!
Here is an excellent discussion of justice and vengeance by Catholic philosopher Ed Feser.

Block the fat and lose weight.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
Have you been frustrated trying every diet under the sun with no success? You wouldn't be the first. According to makers of the weight loss supplement IntelliTrim, many people are victims of "LPL hyperactivity." People who suffer from LPL hyperactivity compare it to being in an elevator that is stuck, and can't go down, only up. There's good reason.
LPL, or lipoprotein lipase, assists fat molecules into your cells. Without the enzyme it can't happen. IntelliTrim is said to prevent fat molecules from moving into your cells. By interfering with LPL, IntelliTrim helps decrease the amount of fat your body stores. How does it do this? With its key ingredient that they refer to as the "strange fat." Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is the key ingredient, which studies have shown reduces body fat.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- The IntelliTrim website has positive testimonials
- Research backs the company's claims
- Blocks fat
- The IntelliTrim website does not list ingredients
- Like many online diet products, IntelliTim uses an automatic charge system on your credit card
- No exercise recommendations
The main ingredient in IntelliTrim is Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). But you won't learn that by visiting the company's website. CLA is an all-natural Omega-6 fatty acid that can be found in beef and dairy products. But it's suspected that you can't get enough of it by eating these foods.EXERCISE
As with most supplement manufacturers, there is no exercise component given with IntelliTrim.CONCLUSION
At first glance of the IntelliTrim website, the idea of a mysterious "strange fat" screams scam. But when you find that there have been studies that support IntelliTrim's claims that Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) helps reduce body fat, your suspicions are relieved. Now, does that mean this supplement will work for you? That remains to be seen.
Even with positive testimonials, there are many factors that go into weight loss. Did these people lose weight because of IntelliTrim, or did they simply start eating better and exercising? There have been studies that point to possible side effects, including cardiovascular disease. While these studies are disputed, it may be best to talk with your doctor before using IntelliTrim. As with any other supplement, some people will enjoy positive benefits and some will not- results vary by person.Common Misspellings

I have lost 10 pounds with this product-it does not work fast....maybe 1/2 pound a week but it is steady and I have not had to change my eating habits or exercise.
Intellitrim's website does indicate the derive their product from Saflower oil, they do recommend a healthy diet combined with exercise. They offer diet and fitness tips and even have a "prgram" to join to aid in weight loss.

Denny O'Callaghan is afraid to open his eyes.
He'd been out drinking last night with the guys, and his head throbs, his arms hurt, and he can't remember what he's done.
He opens his eyes. Blood. On his sheets. His pillowcase.
Then he gets a call: his ex-wife was murdered last night.
He desperately tries to piece together what happened. But he can't explain how he got the scratches on his arms, the police want to know about the domestic violence report his ex filed against him, and his buddies say he was raging against her last night before he stormed off on his own.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Joe Brophy has been handling medical malpractice cases for injured patients and their families since the late 1970's. These ten rules are a distillation of his experience.
1) Malpractice cases are very difficult and expensive to handle. Cases without very serious injuries are rarely successful. I apply the "Oh, my God!" test. If the injury sounds shocking, it is much more likely to be a case. If there is no serious injury, the jury, and therefore the insurance company are unlikely to be interested in compensating the victim.
2) Unexpected outcomes are more likely to be strong cases. For example, if an 85 year old person in poor health dies in the hospital or a nursing home, that is no surprise and not very likely to be a strong case. If a healthy 18 year old goes into the hospital for minor surgery and dies, that is an unexpected outcome, and more likely to be a case.
3) Obstetric cases involving birth injuries to babies require the most time and money to prosecute and are always vigorously defended. They are also the most gratifying cases to handle when they are successful, because disabled children and their families can benefit greatly when adequately compensated.
4) Delayed diagnosis of certain kinds of cancer (breast, colon, skin, for example) over a period of months or years may well be the basis of a valid case. Cases involving short delays in diagnosis of cancer or issues of what treatment to administer are much tougher. And, some kinds of cancer (pancreas, esophagus, ovarian for example) are almost always fatal no matter when the diagnosis is made. If there was no chance of a better result, there is no chance of a successful lawsuit.
5) Cases involving allegations of neglect against psychiatrists are seldom viable unless the patient suffers severe bodily harm or death. Yet, psychiatric patients often want to sue their psychiatrists.
6) Cases against orthopedists and neurosurgeons, especially involving spine surgery, are usually very tough. These claims are so technical that it is often hard to understand them; the patients are often in bad shape to begin with; and doctors in these specialties are very reluctant to testify against one another.
7) Cases involving foreign objects left in the body after medical or surgical procedures, or injuries to parts of the body not being treated are called res ipsa loquitur cases. That means the thing speaks for itself. They are among the less difficult medical malpractice cases to settle or win, but they are not sure winners.
8) Errors in prescribing drugs or dispensing prescriptions are very common and can have very serious consequences, especially when allergies are overlooked or grossly excessive dosages are given. Sometimes patients are given others' prescriptions. These are easy cases to prove fault, not always so easy to prove damages.
9) Hospital infections happen all the time and are among the most difficult cases to win if the doctors recognized the infection in a timely way. A neglected infection may be a case.
10) Cases involving neglected, misdiagnosed, or mistreated heart attacks or strokes are very difficult, but can be won on the right facts.
Not all of these rules apply all the time, but at least some of them come to mind whenever someone asks me about a potential medical malpractice claim. There is no substitute for experience in evaluating medical malpractice claims. The best and most experienced lawyers may disagree about some cases. It is not at all unusual for lawyers to succeed in cases that other lawyers have turned down.

GALILEO Indonesia released its hotel booking product Travelport Rooms and More (TRAM) in Indonesia yesterday, and outlined that it was targeting US$250,000 in revenue within TRAM's first year of operations there.
Galileo Indonesia general manager, Agus Santoso, said TRAM would make hotel reservations easier and more profitable for travel agents.
According to Galileo Indonesia director, Raymond Setokusumo, agents selling hotel rooms are forced to fork out high bank charges when clearing cheques for commission payments received from individual hotels or overseas partners.
TRAM claims to minimise these charges by pooling sales commissions from aggregators and OTAs via PayPal, to be processed in lump sums periodically.
Santoso said TRAM would also allow agents to see the most competitive prices offered by different aggregators on the same sector, as well as agency commissions.
Commenting on the new product, Gunawan Travel Services managing director Gunawan said: "TRAM may work for big agents, but is still difficult for those small ones, who consider even US$25 bank charges still valuable."

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was contacted by a gal named Diane who wanted to help me make money from home. She put me though to a gal by the name of AMY who set me up with a Business Mentor by the name of Greg Samuels.
He then explained he had 3 programs, a $5,000 ,a $10,000 and a $15,000 which determined how many Targeted visitors they would send to my website, which in term would buy and I would make a percentage from their purchases.
Well I signed up for the $5,000 program and it was shortly after that they said I had 4 checks and they would send them out to me. I recieved a call every day for about a week from Amy until I recieved the checks for about $288.00. Greg called me up wanting me to jump up to the $10,000.program and I said I wanted to wait and see how this was going to work out first. He hung up and I did not hear from anyone from that company for well over a month. I made all kinds of phone calls,left messages and filed complaints with the Arizona Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Comission along with continued messages with the company. Then I get a call from a guy by the name of Paul and wanted to know what was going on I explained it to him and in the middle of our conversation he said his manager was calling for him and he would have his manager call me right back, that was 2 days ago.
I have tried calling Paul back from the number left on caller ID and it either rings and rings until someone cuts it off or it's a busy signal.
I was promised a money making website and at this point I have gotton $288.00 for my investment, and they do not return any messages left. It doesn't make any sense but that it is a RIP OFF, otherwise why don't they call me back and resolve the problem. I would not recomend this company to anyone who is looking for a trusted business partner.

Yagong seeks cultural commission
By TOM CALLIS
Tribune-Herald staff writer
Hawaii County will have to dust off an ordinance establishing a cultural advisory commission for Wednesday's County Council meeting.
The ordinance creating the county Cultural Resources Commission went into effect in July 2008, after a council vote the previous year, but the body has since existed only on paper.
Council Chairman Dominic Yagong said he wants to bring the issue into the "light of day," and has proposed a few amendments to spur council discussion.
The commission was created to preserve Hawaiian history and culture by providing guidance to county, state and federal governments on cultural issues and encouraging preservation of historical sites.
County Planning Director Bobby Jean Leithead Todd said the commission hasn't been forgotten, though she acknowledged a delay.
She said she made a preliminary draft of the commission's rules this summer and plans to advertise for the open commission positions shortly.
Leithead Todd said the department was faced with starting several new commissions in 2008, including two new planning commissions, and setting up action committees for community development plans, and had to prioritize which ones got started first.
"The reality is we had so many boards and commission that were created in 2008, that implementing them has been a challenge," she said.
The commission's duties, among others, would be to advise government agencies on historic preservation, review projects affecting historical locations, and establish a county historic preservation planning process.
The nine-member panel would include people with backgrounds in Hawaiian culture, history, architecture, and archeology.
Yagong's bill would also require a member to be knowledgeable in pre-contact burial practices. He is also proposing amending the ordinance to require the commission to advise the state historic preservation officer on management of burial sites.
Maui and Kauai counties also have similar commissions.
Joaquin Gamiao, county planning administrative officer, said the county has 36 vacancies on boards and commissions.
Those vacancies will be advertised along with the open Cultural Resources Commission positions, he said.
Applications can be dropped off at the mayor's office, the Planning Department, or Corporation Counsel, Gamiao said.

- Massachusetts References
Social Security Benefits
Massachusetts gross income does not include Social Security benefits. Such amounts may be included in federal gross income depending on income thresholds under I.R.C. § 86.
Social Security (FICA) and Medicare Deduction
A taxpayer may claim a deduction for the amount contributed in the taxable year to FICA or a Railroad Retirement Plan, or to a U.S. or Massachusetts Retirement fund up to $2,000. If married filing joint, each spouse may claim up to $2,000 of his or her own contributions. Payment amounts may not be combined or transferred from one spouse to the other.
Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Tax is an amount paid by individuals during the period in which they earn wages for purposes of providing them with benefits when they retire. Social Security benefits are made available to retired workers, their spouses and their dependents as well as to disabled workers, their spouses and their dependents. FICA tax is also known as the Social Security tax.
Specifically, this deduction is allowed for the following:
- taxes paid to the U.S. under the provisions of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), Social Security;
- taxes paid to the U.S. under the provisions of the Federal Railroad Retirement Act, Tier I and II;
- contributions to a United States annuity, pension endowment or retirement fund; and
- contributions to a Massachusetts State, city, town, county and other political subdivision annuity, pension endowment or retirement fund.
Medicare tax withheld from wages should be added to the FICA or U.S. or Massachusetts pension contribution for this deduction, the amount not to exceed $2,000.
Medicare premiums deducted from social security benefits or retirement payments are not an allowable deduction since the benefits are not included in gross income.
Self-employed individuals may deduct the employment tax paid during the taxable year up to a maximum of $2,000.
Note: For federal purposes, the self employment tax paid is calculated on U.S. Form SE. Even though the federal deduction on U.S. Form 1040 is limited to one-half of self employment tax paid, the Massachusetts deduction is based on the full amount of self-employment tax paid but limited to the maximum of $2,000.
Where to Report on Original Tax Return; What to Enclose:
- Social Security Benefits are not included in Massachusetts gross income
- Amount paid to Social Security, Medicare, R.R., add amounts from Form W-2, lines 4 and 6; Amount paid to U.S. or Massachusetts retirement, use amount from Form W-2, Line 14c. Enter the amount, but not more than $2,000 each, on either Mass Form 1, Lines 11a and 11b or Form 1-NR/PY, Lines 15a and 15b. Add the amounts in a and b and enter the total on Mass Form 1, Line 11 or Form 1-NR/PY, Line 15.
- Medicare premiums deducted from social security benefits or retirement payments are not an allowable deduction since the benefits are not included in gross income.
- Nonresidents and part-year residents may claim this deduction only if it is directly related to taxable income reported on Form 1-NR/PY.
Documentation to Submit with Abatement/Amended Tax Return:
- Copy of U.S. Form(s) W-2 to substantiate amounts paid;
- Copy of U.S. Schedule SE - Self-Employment Tax.
M.G.L. Chapter 62, Sections 2(a)(1)(F), 2(a)(2)(H); 3B(a)(3) and (4)

Tea Party convention hosts Palin and bans the press. Except Palin employer Fox News
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
If news pros still actually convened ethics panels, I'd suggest they hold a new one, because this Tea Party convention is just getting nuts on so many levels. And who knows? Maybe the Beltway press will finally start asking questions about the confab set for Nashville next month.
Here's the bottom line: The right-wing convention is basically locking out reporters. Tea Party followers, who have built their political movement by rallying around the need for transparency, are going to hold a political convention and listen to speeches from, among others, Sarah Palin. But journalists are banned. Well, not all "journalists." The Tea Party convention is going to allow Fox News, which employs Sarah Palin, to be among the select few "reporters" allowed to cover the convention, where Sarah Palin will speak.
Now, I realize ethics and journalism guidelines do not exactly rule the day within Fox News headquarters, but I would think that even Murdoch execs can admit that they're facing a rather gargantuan conflict of interest with regards to the Tea Party convention.
Question: Will Fox News actually accept the tainted Tea Party credentials for the Sarah Palin show even though Fox News pays her, and even though Fox News understands that all other news orgs have been banned from the convention?
And yes, I wrote "all other news orgs" are banned because the other outlets that Tea Party convention officials are letting in consist of dubious, partisan sites such as WND, Townhall, and Breitbart.com. And, oh yeah, the WSJ made the cut, although I'm assuming the credentials are for its dubious, partisan opinion page and not the news team.
But if the WSJ news team did get credentials, I can't imagine editors there would accept them, knowing the extreme restrictions that are attached.

RYE, N.Y. County workers said a man tried to turn over a Harley Davidson motorcycle for Westchester Countys Household Material Recovery Days.
The motorcycle was returned to the man, as were several television sets other residents were trying to get rid of, county workers said.
Cars lined up in the Rye Playland parking lot as workers were busy collecting materials residents no longer want or need. The workers accepted everything from automotive fluids, jewelry, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries and car tires over the course of Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and afternoon, as they loaded shredders and sanitation trucks.
The county will host another Household Material Recovery Days event on Sept. 22 at the county recycling center in Yonkers. Still, if residents have materials they still want to dispose of sooner, they can make an appointment to drop items off at the Household Material Recovery Facility at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla. The facility is open from 10 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. All appointments must be made at least two weeks in advance. For more information, call 914-813-5425.

I recently bought a Taurus 9MM PT-609ti and I am having a real hard time finding a decent holster for this gun. I went to Blackhawk & Fobus website to look for holsters but couldn't find any. I am guessing this is the model that was made before Taurus came out with the Millennium and the 24/7. Is the frame on the Taurus PT-609 similar to either the Millennium or the 24/7? I am also looking for laser/light combo for the picatinny rail
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good night folks.
and I spoke to someone in Customer Service. They told me that the Glock 26 Holsters WILL work with my PT-609. Just in case anyone else is having the same problem as me... there's some helpful information for you
Try Little Bear Holsters (www.littlebearholsters.com) I have the same gun and have ordered two holsters for that particular Taurus (dog ate the first one, but thats a story for another day, lol). Dave is a great guy to deal with, and he is located in FL as well. He's in Tallahassee, I'm in Cape Coral. Him being in FL may not seem like a big deal, but it actually is when you take into consideration the climate WHERE the holsters are being made (ie. humidity) and where the holster will end up. You being in Orlando will have basically the same environment as he does, so you won't have any premature cracking or warping on the holster. I have a couple of pics of my holster on the Florida Concealed Carry site, PM me if you want the link.
But I STRONGLY recommend Little Bear. You won't be dissatisfied.
i just bought a Taurus pt 609 pro today, and used this forums advice to get the G26 holster because they didn't have a specified one. sadly it wouldn't fit, the only way i could get it to sit inside the holster was to remove the front site. and it was still entirely too tight. i'm just gonna return it and get one in. this is my first post and i'm glad that i found a great site to talk to fellow gun owners on!
well the holster was returned but for those that are planning on getting this handgun a Fobus 250ND works amazingly. just loosen the tension a bit and its a beautiful fit. i believe its made for a Sig 250 or 220. but i love the way it feels. and my dealer just traded me for the G26 holster.

Jack Ryan Franchise Author Tom Clancy Has Passed Away at Age 66
by Ethan Anderton
October 2, 2013
Source: New York Times
With Paramount Pictures poised to release their new action thriller prequel Jack Ryan: Shadow One this Christmas (as long as The Wolf of Wall Street doesn't push it away), the author behind the recurring spy character has sadly passed away. The New York Times reports that author Tom Clancy, best known for creating the series of books featuring Jack Ryan, has passed away at age 66. Ivan Held, the president of Clancy's publisher, G.P. Putnam's Sons, revealed the news, but did not disclose a cause of death. Clancy's books served as the source material for grounded thrillers like The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears. But his big screen legacy isn't over.
In addition to the forthcoming Jack Ryan: Shadow One, two video game series from the mind of Tom Clancy are headed for the big screen. Michael Bay is producing an adaptation of Ghost Recon while Tom Hardy is attached to an adaptation of Splinter Cell. Other titles from the author include Red Storm Rising, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Without Remorse, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders, Rainbow Six, The Bear and the Dragon, Red Rabbit and The Teeth of the Tiger. Clancy still has his newest book, Command Authority, is slated to hit shelves on December 3rd. Clancy was an iconic author whose work will live on in many forms for generations to come. Rest in peace.

Hey guys,
I am using both Wordpress and Drupal on my site and I was wondering if there was a way to link the accounts that I have on Wordpress to that of Drupal. In other words, if I was to change the password on the Wordpress account it would also change on Drupal. If you have any clue how to do this or any pointers it would be greatly appreciated.
I have been looking to a solution for this issue for a while and I though I would turn to the most brilliant minds on the web for help
Thank you in advance!
I seriously have no idea what your talking about…
Haha sorry for being unclear. What I was saying is that when you are logged into your Wordpress, click on posts, and select Edit a post you see a Revision Panel at the bottom. Right? So, when you click on a date it sends you to that revision and towards the bottom there are the radio buttons. What I was saying is that if you click on the same button as the old one and click on "Compare Revisions" it sends you to a Matrix based animated page. Does that clear things up?
Ok, I know some of you have probably come across this but for those who haven't I just wanted to share this cool joke Wordpress does. So whenever you compare revisions that are at the same date Wordpress gives you this error message that has a matrix theme and a cool generic binary animation. Am I really late about this or is this new to you guys too?
I am not trying to take anything away from the use of the icons. I just meant the positioning is awkward and takes away from the space left for the thumbnail, resulting in an awkward layout. You want the eye to float down, easily following "layers" of information. Either way, the icon is too big for the front page. That shouldn't be the main focus of any blog—content first, secondary elements second.
Well said, I will find a better place for those icons
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not digging the social icon on the side of the thumb.
I think the social icons add to this design. After all, its a design to promote "art" to start with, and if your promoting something you've done you want to encourage sharing. Having a front page share button like that, unique to the design, looks great in my opinion and plays a valuable role here.
Although I could be wrong behind the concept.
Other than that, I think the other points made by Alex I'd second. Great looking design and think it has lots of potential. Keep up the great work. As a buyer I think the overall look is something that would interest others.Kind regards! Best of luck!
Thanks! I appreciate the tip for the social links and you are correct on the concept.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not digging the social icon on the side of the thumb.
The line height needs to be bigger.
The sidebar needs work.
Combine the top-right navigation with the main one and move the search field up a bit so it's centered vertically.
Heading size needs to be increased.
Read more button could use a bit of work and should go below the excerpt.
Footer needs a darker background.
More space between footer widgets.Try working on those.
Thanks a lot for the tips Alex, I will work on those
Thanks for the notice, I'm sorry about that but now it's fixed
Hey guys,
I am very (VERY… seriously I am what u kids call a n00b lol) new to web design and I was wondering if I could get some tips on my recent design. I have just made it into a static HTML web page and will make it into a dynamic Wordpress theme (personal use) and I was wondering if I could get some tips. This can range from anything from the design to the CODE . PLEASE CHECK MY CODE !! I want the code to be perfect. I already validated but I need to know if it works with all browsers and if there is anything messed up with my CSS . I know this is asking a lot but I am new to coding
Here is a link to the HTML version: http://fallingarts.com/wp-content/uploads/Square%20One/HTML.html
Any replies are GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
How about these:
I suggest reviewing the licences on these pictures though. For more pictures just go to the this site
Hope this helps
Here is one of my collections I have made: http://graphicriver.net/collections/419012-quality-and-quantity
I appreciate you guys doing these kinds of things. Thanks guys!

What are the Factors that May Affect Your Laser Hair Removal Results?Submitted by jane2 on October 27, 2010 - 06:28
Even if laser hair removal works well on someone you knew, it doesn't mean it will work the same with you. It will have an entirely different results on every person. That is why, you need to know the factors that may affect your laser hair removal results. These are the following:
The Cost of Laser Hair TreatmentSubmitted by jane2 on July 19, 2010 - 11:33
The expense of laser hair treatment depends upon several components including the area being treated, the quantity of hair growth on the area, the number of procedures needed, the type of laser applied, the individual doctor or specialist, as well as your geographic location. Laser Hair Removal can be quite costly, but many people feel that the outcomes are worth the cost. It is because results of the treatment have a long-lasting effect. It also produces a lower hair regrowth.
Hair Removal DevicesSubmitted by jane2 on July 12, 2010 - 10:45
These are alexandrite lasers, diode lasers, ruby lasers, and NeoDymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnets, that's known as Nd:YAGs.
Alexandrite lasers became obtainable for use in laser hair removal in 1997 when they were cleared through the FDA. Their wavelength is 755 nanometers which can be extremely effective but only safe on light skin. Five diverse sorts of the alexandrite laser are accessible. These involve the Apogee, GentleLase, Epicare, Epitouch Alex, and Ultrawave II-III.

Recent legislative changes in Fiji - Regulation of Spectrum Decree - Fiji National University Decree
There has been a spate of recent legislative changes in Fiji. In the absence of a parliament, Fiji's Interim Government continues to enact legislation through Presidential decrees.
The most prominent decree relates to the regulation of spectrum in Fiji, with politicians from both Australia and Fiji weighing into the intent of that decree. The second decree relates to the establishment of a Fiji only university, unlike its regional counterpart the University of the South Pacific ("USP").
Regulation of Spectrum Decree 2009 (Fiji)
There have been recent media reports on the Fiji Interim Government's announcement that the Regulation of Spectrum Decree 2009 ("Decree") has been approved by the Fiji cabinet, and that the Decree has been gazetted (according to media reports on 13 November 2009). Needless to say both Australian and Fijian politicians are saying their piece about the intent of the Decree. Unfortunately copies of the Decree are not available (despite our best efforts to obtain a copy), which means all we have to work with is a recent Fiji Ministry of Information media release (10 November 2009, No: 1937/CAB) ("Release").
The Release suggests that the Decree allows for the facilitation of equitable allocation of radio frequency spectrum in Fiji which is used by both television and radio services and other forms of communications. It does not appear that the Decree extends to mobile phone operator licences.
Fiji's Attorney-General alluded that the current allocation of spectrum was disorganised and conducted on an ad-hoc basis. The Decree supposedly implements the recommendations of a Fiji Ministry of Communications commissioned study on spectrum in Fiji which was conducted by a New Zealand company.
All current licences appear to have been converted to temporary licences while the Government undertakes a stock take to see whether current licensees are utilising spectrum effectively. Media reports suggest that licensees will not be entitled to compensation or any other remedy in relation to the cancellation, reallocation or any other action or decision taken by the Minister for Communications relating to their existing licenses.
The net result could be a reallocation of spectrum to allow for new investment in the broadcasting sector, with the Government suggesting that a tender process for new spectrum will be undertaken.
Fiji National University Decree 2009 (Fiji)
The object of the Fiji National University Decree 2009 is to establish the Fiji National University which will aim to serve the needs of the post-secondary educational requirements for Fiji. In effect the Fiji National University will be taking over the assets and liabilities of the Fiji Institute of Technology, Fiji School of Medicine, Fiji School of Nursing, the Fiji College of Agriculture, the Fiji College of Advanced Education and the Lautoka Teachers College, and a merged entity of these educational institutions is being established.
The Fiji National University is unlike the University of the South Pacific ("USP") which also has its main campus (Laucala) situated in Fiji. The USP was established in 1968, and is one of only two universities of its type in the world. It is jointly owned by the governments of 12 member countries: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa. USP also has campuses in all member countries, notably the Emalus Campus in Vanuatu where the School of Law is located.
The Fiji Minister for tertiary education has the power to appoint the governance members, including the Council of the Fiji National University, again unlike USP's regional approach.

text: What kind of wireless speeds are people seeing from the Roamio Basic? I just received a TiVo wireless N adapter off ebay and tried it out with my Premiere. It's giving me 92Mb/s transfer rates from my Roamio Pro which is very good. I should have picked one up sooner. But I had ordered this before I ordered a Roamio basic. So my plan now is to get a second Wireless N adapter and hook up both of my GFs S3 boxes to it. Unless the speeds from the Roamio Basic wireless aren't very good.

Japan's Fujitsu said Friday it aimed to generate 1.5 trillion yen (17 billion dollars) in revenue from its global cloud computing business by March 2016, making it a cornerstone of its strategy.
Japan's biggest IT service provider will invest 100 billion yen this fiscal year in cloud-related business, up 54 percent from the previous year, and will train 5,000 specialists by 2012, president Masami Yamamoto said.
Cloud computing consists of computer applications or data storage hosted online by technology firms instead of being installed and maintained on users' machines.
The lower-cost concept has grown in popularity during the economic downturn and also thanks to higher Internet speeds.
"We are focusing our investment on cloud computing, because our medium and long-term growth depends on it," Yamamoto told a news conference.
"We feel threatened because as the cloud-based business and infrastructure accelerate, existing business areas will steadily decline."
Fujitsu in April said it would expand its cloud computing platform to five locations outside Japan by March 2011: Australia, Britain, Germany, Singapore and the United States.
The company set up a data centre in China this year which will begin operating next year. Fujitsu expects revenue from cloud computing of 45 billion yen this year, more than double the previous year.
For the current year to March, Fujitsu expects operating profit to double to 185 billion yen. It kept its fiscal 2011 target for a net profit of 130 billion yen on sales of five trillion yen.
Replicating many Japanese companies facing sluggish demand at home, Fujitsu hopes to boost overseas business to 40 percent of its total revenue, or some 300 billion yen, with one-third coming from India and China, Yamamoto said.
The technology giant last month announced a merger with Toshiba of their mobile phone businesses in Japan to create the nation's second-largest cellphone maker and to strengthen development of smartphones.
Yamamoto also said that a dispute with Fujitsu's former boss, who claims he was illegally fired, had made little impact on its business.
