CVM Researchers Examine Effect of
Pain Medications on the Immune System
Dr. Amy DeClue, assistant professor of small animal internal medicine at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, was recently featured on an American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation podcast. DeClue discussed the preliminary results of her ongoing research concerning common pain medications given to dogs and whether those drugs could suppress the immune system, leaving dogs susceptible to infection after surgery or other procedures. DeClue's research collaborators on the study, which is funded by the Canine Health Foundation, were Dr. Sandra Bechtel, an assistant professor of veterinary oncology at the CVM, and Dr. John Dodam, associate professor of veterinary anesthesiology and chairman of the College's Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.

At Photokina 2012, Olympus will be challenging visitors to directly compare their own digital SLRs against the Olympus OM-D E-M5 in a low-light shoot-off. At the Olympus booth - Stand A11-B10 in Hall 2.2 - visitors will have a chance to put their camera's picture quality to the test by pitting their own dSLR against an OM-D in the hands of a professional photographer. A model will pose for pictures taken by the public and the resident professional. A0-sized prints will show how well the OM-D E-M5 measures up. Other booth highlights include professional video making in the Audio Lounge and a Hello Terminal where you can have your picture taken against a backdrop.
If you can't wait until Photokina, check out our own Olympus OM-D vs. Nikon D7000 head-to-head review!
Olympus Press Release
Olympus challenges photokina visitors to put their cameras to the test
OM-D vs. SLR
Giant puppet turns supermodel for low-light shoot-off
Iconic. Intuitive. Captivating in low light. Full of surprises and instantly rewarding, for professionals and beginners alike. The traditional strengths of Olympus cameras have inspired an outstanding programme at next month's photokina, starting with the ultimate shoot-off. Olympus has such confidence in its products that it will be challenging visitors to directly compare their own digital SLRs against a mirrorless Olympus OM-D. And what better test subject than another contemporary icon that invariably turns it on in low light – the 5-metre-tall, glow-in-the-dark puppet DUNDU. This larger-than-life star will be wowing the crowds – and posing for photographs – in Cologne city centre from dusk onwards on September 18 and during the following day.
The OM-D challenge gets serious at the Olympus booth, where a pro photographer will be showing all comers just what the mirrorless flagship can do. Of course, visitors will have every opportunity to try out the rest of the Olympus camera range as well as special features like Live Bulb in the Blackbox. Other booth highlights include professional video making in the Audio Lounge and a Hello Terminal where you can have your picture taken against a backdrop.
This year's photokina runs from September 18 – 23. The Olympus booth is in Hall 2.2, at Stand A11 – B10.
How do you do, DUNDU?
Nothing expresses the beauty and enchantment of sophisticated low-light visuals like the giant, interactive puppet DUNDU.
At five metres tall, this one-of-a-kind figure gives visitors of all ages an evening they will never forget. Operated by five professional puppeteers, DUNDU is elegant despite its size and moves with considerable grace as it mingles with the crowds that inevitably gather wherever it appears. Audience participation can be a surprisingly lifelike and even tender experience – for onlookers as well as everyone lucky enough to interact with the puppet directly. Its huge, essentially hollow body is comprised of a fine lattice that glows in the dark to give it a beautifully ethereal quality. For anyone with a camera, a picture or video of DUNDU is a must – and an excellent test of their camera's low light capabilities. Which explains this year's collaboration with Olympus.
DUNDU will be appearing on the square in front of Cologne cathedral on the evening of September 18 and at various locations around the city the next day as Olympus' private supermodel, in the truest sense of the word.
Test against the best
Back at the Olympus booth, visitors will again have a chance to put their camera's picture quality to the test – this time under more controlled conditions – by pitting their own D-SLR against an OM-D in the hands of a professional photographer. A model will pose for pictures taken by the public and the resident professional. A0-sized prints (equivalent to one square metre) will show just how well the OM-D measures up.
Video needs sound
Another highlight at this year's booth is the Olympus Audio Lounge where you can sit back and enjoy professional-standard music videos created with a combination of an OM-D, an Olympus LS Digital Recorder and MAGIX Video deluxe 2013 Plus software. A making-of film will illustrate just how easily this can be done.
Blackbox beauty
In the Blackbox, visitors to the booth can watch light art develop in real time using one of Olympus' most popular features, Live Bulb, which lets you follow the long-exposure light painting process on the camera display.

It has nothing about with the article, but reading the article, I was thinking to myself: "What happened to the Yashica?"
jose kerginaldo de paula at 06:47pm on Thursday, August 30, 2012
They sound confident, I'd be scared to pitch my D300s against it, although I wouldn't mind a free A0 print. Worth a punt.

Despite how the prints would come or not, I find this useless. Rather than counting pixels on a print, the omd is way more innovative, a thing that all dslr productors are not doing..small, fun and anyway, complete.
In real life photography, many of the tests are really really useless.

I am from Athens, Greece. Unfortunately, we don't have eBay Greek or any eBay association at all, but my dream is to export modern contemporary Greek art. What should I do?
Congrats on deciding to start an eBay business. EBay actually has a Global Trade organization dedicated to exactly this purpose. You might want to check it out and see what you can learn from others who are already doing this.
Good luck,

Our teachers are dedicated to continuous professional learning and we are committed to providing a balanced curriculum which addresses the personal, social and academic needs of our children. A basic underlying value of all we do is to build a sense of community based on care, compassion and responsibility.

Cory Doctorow on digital music systems:
Cory is responding to Scoble on digital music players. Read the whole post. Compare this to our phone service. Even when AT&T was a monopoly, they didn't control what you said over the phone, they just gave you the pipe and the player (they rented you the phone) but neither of those restricted what you said, how you said it, or how others listened to what you projected. I have no problem with a pipe/player monopoly (in this sense) but there is a serious issue when the pipe/player controls any aspect of your content or experience.
I'm jamming on projects (I promise to spend more time here soon, but the next two weeks are insane...).Posted by Mary Hodder at January 28, 2004 12:30 PM

Hola, amigos! I tend to listen to a lot of different genres of music but the ones I listened to the most are Alternative rock and Indie rock. Recently, I found this band and I fell in love with them instantly. They are called The Reign of Kindo. The band just popped up randomly in YouTube while I was listening to some old songs by Maroon 5. I decided to give them a shot. From the start I could see some similarity with Maroon 5… well, Maroon 5's first album. I listened to a couple of songs and now I can't stop listening!
The Reign of Kindo formed in 2006 so they are fairly new. They mostly play jazz rock, indie rock, and progressive rock. They play jazzy rock songs with a bit of pop influenced. They also incorporate lots of other instruments like the Cello and the Tenor Saxophone.
Hold Out
Bullets in the Air
Romancing a Stranger
Feeling in the Night
Just Wait
I just wanted to share something that wasn't art with you guys. So, who is your favorite band or artist right now?
Till next time, amigos!

I have worked with couples for the last several years to help overcome the effects of infidelity, pornography, lack of intimacy or communication and to help build up what has been lost or stolen through life transitions or hardships. No marriage is without hope unless there is unaddressed abuse of any kind which kills any sense of trust and desire for closeness. I utilize many tools, but especially intimacy therapy. There is hope.

The newest research on happiness makes clear something we all really know: that our closest relationships are the source of the greatest happiness and joy, meaning and purpose in our lives. Our significant other, our partner, our husband or wife is the person who knows us best, better than anyone. For all the same reasons, when difficulties come between you and your partner, it can seriously erode your happiness, and breakdowns in communication, building resentments, frustratingly repetitive arguments are very distressing. Nobody want this to happen; "Then why does it never seem that we're on the same page?" Consider couples counseling as a way to start a positive cycle ...

When a couple seeks counseling they often feel hopelessly stuck in the same unhealthy communication patterns, feelings of estrangement and distance, and a lack of emotional closeness. Sometimes one person in the couple wants counseling but the other refuses to seek help. Couples counseling can be beneficial to your relationship with both people in session as well as with only one person willing to come in. Doing one thing different will change your relationship. Call me and lets discuss the changes you want to see and how to make them happen.

The HCD 28mm lens has been designed to be compact and to deliver optimal performance when used with the 48 x 36mm sensor of the H system digital cameras. Image quality is refined with integral use of Digital Lens Correction which perfects the raw image by digitally removing any colour aberration, vignetting and distortion. The resulting raw images have perfect pixel definition optimal for image rendering.
Its close up performance is outstanding – the subject can be as little as 10cm from the front of the lens.
Please note, however, that this lens is designed specifically for the H3D and later camera models and is for digital use only. Consequently it is not compatible with the film magazine HM 16-32, the film magazine HMi 100 or the Converter H1.7x.
If you would like a personal demonstration on the HCD 4/28mm, please create an account or sign in to your existing one before continuing.

Richard Marsland
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Richard Marsland: Shock-Jock, Cowboy, Lover."
"I only dream of having his rubber buttocks in my wardrobe"
Richard "Armitage Shanks" Marsland is comedy/tragicomedy/drama writer/actor/three-bags-full-sir, Lord of the Dance and is the self-proclaimed host of Triple M's Get This radio-wave pogrom. The personification of radio, he can often be seen carrying a windswept look with him, so it can be used at one of his daily photo shoots or even forced onto passers by.
edit Early Days
The young Marslando Calrissian started a normal life at an early age, yet soon found it was not for him. Growing up in the rough churches of Adelaide, he fought his way to the top of the food chain the old-fashioned way - by eating everyone else. According to insiders, Dick relinquished his taste for human flesh to take up a career in radio, shortly after fathering the entire Partridge Family in what Doctors described as "A fucking miracle!!!" and "Probably bullshit...the ENTIRE Partridge Family? I think you're lying. See now you're laughing! How am I supposed to believe you if you're laughing?" and "I'm not a doctor but for $3,000 I will strip on some grass for you. Oh and yeah what you said about that family of partridges is totally true."
edit Career
Richard "Spandau" Marsland's radio career took off with a jet engine, and unfortunately then did what some have called a Peter Brock and crashed into Adelaide morning tv with his co-host "Strap on yer Sunday best" Anne "The Man" Wills. They filed for divorce in late 2004 and Marsland's career spiralled out of control, like a baby in an in-sink garbage disposal unit. He was heard on many seedier broadcasts around the world including "Sleaze Pleaze" with Some Guy, "Couches, lube and you" with Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback shame), and "What's Inside That Orifice??!!" with Hot-Dogs, Pope John Paul II and Edward Rollins. It is during this time he disappeared for 2 months, only to re-appear in Los Angeles sporting a handlebar moustache, a leather jacket with matching pants, gold chains and answering only to the name Dirty Sanchez.
Then in 2006 he shaved off the handlebars of oppression (according to onlookers he had to be cut from the leather pants), and began hosting the dictatorship juggernaut called Get This along with fellow Satiny Kaftan enthusiasts Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee, which daily abuses the right to free speech, animal rights, and the right hand of clocks. Richard Marsland is so cool. sorry armitage shanks

edit Marsland: Paparazzo Extraordinaire
Apart from ramming his battleship Get This through the airwaves, Marsland keeps fingers in many pots of proverbial honey, and occasionally (to the the dismay of sources) in pots of verbial and even adjectival honey. Those hot-pots of smoky bbq honey include white anting on Rove Live and taking candid and what some call perverted paparazzo style pictures. What is odd about this passtime is that The Esteemed Ricky M says he is not limited to what society labels as "stars" and "models", and can often be seen snapping what he refers to as "The Money Shot" through various bedroom windows around Australia. In fact in Australia people will carry a peeping in by Richard Marsland as a badge of honour, and will avidly search through his monthly release "Marsland: A Cowboy's Perspective" to find shots of them in various states of undress.

Filppula A Huge Key For Bolts Playoff Success Says Roenick
BY: John Mamola
The Tampa Bay Lightning signed winger Valtteri Filppula to a five year contract last July to replace some of the scoring that former Captain Vincent LeCavalier has left on the table following the team releasing LeCavalier. Little did Bolts fans know at the time that the 30-year old former Detroit Red Wings would end up second on the team in points and tied for the team lead in goals for 2013-2014 season.
With the playoffs beginning on Wednesday, the status of Filppula is in question as he is listed day-to-day with a lower body injury that he suffered in a win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. NHL on NBC analyst Jeremy Roenick told WDAE on Monday morning that if Filppula missed any playing time during the playoffs, it would be a huge hit to their chances against the Montreal Canadiens.
"He's a fantastic hockey player," said the 18-year NHL star. "If this guy can't play in the playoffs, it'd be a huge blow to Tampa. I truly believe he's one of the more creative reliable players in that National Hockey League and doesn't get enough credit for how good he really is."
Roenick calls Filppula one of his favorite hockey players in the league because of the education he gained by playing with Pavel Datsyuk in Detroit for seven seasons. The NBC analyst says Filppula's ability to know where to go with the puck before he even has possession of the puck shows off his amazing hockey IQ and it a great bonus to have on the Tampa Bay Lightning roster.

Pa. officials have concerns about Beaver Run fishing
If Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission officials -- and sportsmen -- hope to get Beaver Run Reservoir open to fishing, they've apparently got their work cut out for them.
That's because county officials apparently have a whole lot of questions they want answered before they'll consider letting anglers cast any lines into Beaver Run.
The 1,300-acre lake stretches across Salem, Bell and Washington townships in northern Westmoreland County. It's owned by the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County and serves as one of the county's chief drinking water sources. Built in 1952, it has never been open to public fishing.
Fish and Boat Commission waterways conservation officer Ron Evancho in March asked the municipal authority board to change the rules, though, and allow fishing in the portion of the lake south of Route 286. He suggested keeping the lake north of Route 286 closed as a nursery water.
Authority manager Chris Kerr was not overly receptive to the idea then. He said before even hearing Evancho's presentation that he would recommend keeping Beaver Run closed to fishing.
Evancho and the commission's legislative liaison, Gary Moore, got a chance to pitch the idea again, though, earlier this month in a meeting with Kerr and the Westmoreland County Commissioners.
"The meeting was for introductory purposes and to open a dialogue," said Fish and Boat Commission spokesman Dan Tredinnick.
Whether that meeting will lead to anything remains to be seen.
Kerr could not be reached for comment. Westmoreland County Commissioner Tom Ceraso said that while opening the lake to fishing wouldn't be a bad thing "in a perfect world," county officials have questions that need answered first.
Authority officials presented the Fish and Boat Commission with a list of 15 to 20 issues it would like addressed, he said. They include everything from concerns about the possibility of someone tainting the water and liability costs to litter and the need for more law enforcement at the lake, he said.
"So I'm just waiting and trying not to form an opinion until I hear back from the Fish and Boat Commission and the water authority," Ceraso said.
In the meantime, several state lawmakers -- including Rep. Joe Petrarca, a Westmoreland County Democrat -- have written letters to the authority suggesting it open the lake to fishing.
"I know that Beaver Run is obviously a community drinking water source, but to me it seems like (the Municipal Authority) should be able to work with the Fish and Boat Commission to open the reservoir for sportsmen and women in the area," Petrarca said.
Sportsmen have been working to make their desire to fish the lake known, too. Al Clemmons, a trustee of Keystone Rod and Gun Club and a Jeannette resident, has started a petition drive to show the support for opening the lake. He said he's collected 2,500 names and expects to get many more in the next few weeks.
"You ought to hear people talking about this," Clemmons said. "Everyone I'm talking to wants this."
That may or may not include municipal authority officials. Fish and Boat Commission executive director Doug Austen has talked with some of them. He said he's detected "mild interest" on their part to open the lake to fishing.
There's no doubt, however, that opening the lake would provide more access to fishing, an important part of the state economy, Austen said.
"There are probably 100 or more of these lakes around the state, and we'd certainly like to partner with the people who own them to manage them for public fishing," Austen said.

Getting involved
Sportsmen interested in getting Beaver Run Reservoir open to public fishing are trying to get organized.
They've developed a flier -- which can be seen at farm1.static.flickr.com -- that's circulating on the Internet and in various locations. It lists the names and phone numbers of various county and state officials.

Chase Masterson
is one of the lesser-known stars of
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"
. She plays Leeta, the Daabo girl who works at Quark's bar. Originally, her character was envisioned as a love interest for the suave Dr. Julian Bashir. A lack of chemistry between the two, however, caused producers to have them break up. in the memorable episode (in which the two go through a special ceremony to mark the dissolution of their relationship), Chase is nude in a bathtub with her soon to be ex. While the censors managed to cut the explicit scenes from the finished product, apparently they missed the footage used in the weekly teasers. Viewers who saw the "coming next week" teaser at the end of the previous show got a glimpse of a bare-breasted Chase.
Chase's character later became a love-interest and wife of the nerdy Ferengi Rom. While the chemistry between Chase and Dr. Bashir may have been low, the chemistry between Chase and Rom is laughable. It was clearly an obvious attempt on the producers part to attract the nerdier segments of their audience with the fiction that a girl as stunning as Chase could go for such a whining geek such as Rom. Pictures of Chase's role on Star Trek are available on this site.
Luckily, Chase's career before "Star Trek" is chock full of nude scenes. Her first role came in "Married People, Single Sex", in which she has a shower scene in which she bares her full buns and even fuller breasts. Of course, pictures of this are available on this site.
Chase later starred in "Digital Man", in which she bared not only her breasts and buns, but some pubes as well. All in all, it appears that Chase is not shy about showing off her more than ample assets, and the pictures on this site prove it.
There are a total of
pictures of Chase Masterson on this site, including
nude shots (breasts, bare buns, and lower frontal nudity),
underwear shots (bra and panties), and

Entry 0480: Reflections on the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time
by Pope Francis
On three occasions during his pontificate, Pope Francis has delivered reflections on the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time, on 11 August 2013, 10 August 2014, and 9 August 2015. Here are the texts of the three brief addresses delivered prior to the recitation of the Angelus.
The one who lived this experience in such an exemplary way was Mary, the Virgin of Nazareth: the first human person who believed in God by accepting the flesh of Jesus. Let us learn from her, our Mother, joy and gratitude through the gift of faith. A gift that is not "private," a gift that is not private property but is a gift to be shared: it is a gift "for the life of the world!"
Saint Peter's Square, Sunday, 11 August 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
This Sunday's Gospel (Lk 12:32-48) speaks to us about the desire for the definitive encounter with Christ, a desire that keeps us ever ready, alert in spirit, for we anticipate this encounter with all our heart, with all our being. This is a fundamental aspect of life. It is a desire that we all share, whether explicit or secret, we have hidden in our heart; we all harbor this desire in our heart.
It is also important to see Jesus' teaching in the actual context in which he transmitted it. In this case, Luke the Evangelist shows us Jesus walking with his disciples to Jerusalem, walking to his death and resurrection at Easter, and on this journey he teaches them, confiding to them what he himself carries in his heart, the deep attitude of his heart: detachment from earthly possessions, his trust in the Father's Providence and, indeed, his innermost watchfulness, all the while working for the Kingdom of God. For Jesus it is waiting for his return to the Father's house. For us it is waiting for Christ himself who will come to take us to the everlasting celebration, as he did for his Mother, Mary Most Holy; he took her up to Heaven with him.
The Gospel intends to tell us that the Christian is someone who has a great desire, a deep desire within him: to meet his Lord with his brothers and sisters, his traveling companions. And what Jesus tells us is summed up in his famous phrase: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Lk 12:34). A heart full of desire. We all have desires. The poor ones are those who have no desire, no desire to go forward, toward the horizon; and for us Christians this horizon is the encounter with Jesus, the very encounter with him, who is our life, our joy, our happiness. I would like to ask you two questions. First: do you all have a desiring heart? A heart that desires? Think about it and respond silently in your hearts. I ask you, is your heart filled with desire, or is it a closed heart, a sleeping heart, a heart numb to the things of life? The desire to go forward to encounter Jesus. The second question: where is your treasure, what are you longing for? Jesus told us: where your treasure is, there will be your heart—and I ask you: where is your treasure? What is the most important reality for you, the most precious reality, the one that attracts your heart like a magnet? What attracts your heart? May I say that it is God's love? Do you wish to do good to others, to live for the Lord and for your brothers and sisters? May I say this? Each one answer in his own heart. But someone could tell me: Father, I am someone who works, who has a family, for me the most important reality is to keep my family and work going. Certainly, this is true, it is important. But what is the power that unites the family? It is indeed love, and the One who sows love in our hearts is God, God's love, it is precisely God's love that gives meaning to our small daily tasks and helps us face the great trials. This is the true treasure of humankind: going forward in life with love, with that love which the Lord has sown in our hearts, with God's love. This is the true treasure. But what is God's love? It is not something vague, some generic feeling. God's love has a name and a face: Jesus Christ, Jesus. Love for God is made manifest in Jesus. For we cannot love air. Do we love air? Do we love all things? No, no we cannot, we love people and the person we love is Jesus, the gift of the Father among us. It is a love that gives value and beauty to everything else; a love that gives strength to the family, to work, to study, to friendship, to art, to all human activity. It even gives meaning to negative experiences, because this love allows us to move beyond these experiences, to go beyond them, not to remain prisoners of evil, it moves us beyond, always opening us to hope, that's it! Love of God in Jesus always opens us to hope, to that horizon of hope, to the final horizon of our pilgrimage. In this way our labors and failures find meaning. Even our sin finds meaning in the love of God because this love of God in Jesus Christ always forgives us. He loves us so much that he always forgives us.
Dear brothers and sisters, in the Church today we are commemorating St Clare of
Assisi who,
in the footsteps of Francis, left everything to consecrate herself to Christ in
poverty. St Clare gives us a very beautiful testimony of today's Gospel reading:
may she, together with the Virgin Mary, help us to live the Gospel, each one of
us according to one's own vocation.
St. Peter's Square, Sunday, 10 August 2014
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning,
In today's Gospel, we are presented with the account of Jesus walking on the water of the lake (see Mt 14:22-23). After the multiplication of loaves and fish, He asks the disciples to get into the boat and go before him to the other side of the lake while He dismisses the crowds. He then goes up into the hills by himself to pray until late at night. Meanwhile a strong storm blows up on the lake and right in the middle of the storm Jesus reaches the disciples' boat, walking upon the water of the lake. When they see him, the disciples are terrified, but He calms them: "Take heart, it is I; have no fear!" (v. 27). Peter, with his usual passion, practically puts him to the test: "Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water;" and Jesus answers "Come!" (vv. 28-29). Peter gets out of the boat and walks on the water; but a strong wind hits him and he begins to sink. And so he yells: "Lord, save me!" (v. 30), and Jesus reaches out his hand and catches him.
This story is a beautiful icon of the faith of the Apostle Peter. In the voice of Jesus who tells him: "Come!," he recognizes the echo of the first encounter on the shore of that very lake, and right away, once again, he leaves the boat and goes toward the Teacher. And he walks on the waters! The faithful and ready response to the Lord's call always enables one to achieve extraordinary things. But Jesus himself told us that we are capable of performing miracles with our faith, faith in Him, faith in his word, faith in his voice. Peter however begins to sink the moment he looks away from Jesus and he allows himself to be overwhelmed by the hardships around him. But the Lord is always there, and when Peter calls him, Jesus saves him from danger. Peter's character, with his passion and his weaknesses, can describe our faith: ever fragile and impoverished, anxious yet victorious, Christian faith walks to meet the Risen Lord, amid the world's storms and dangers.
And the final scene is also very important. "And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, 'Truly you are the Son of God!'" (vv. 32-33). All the disciples are on the boat, united in the experience of weakness, of doubt, of fear and of "little faith." But when Jesus climbs into that boat again, the weather suddenly changes: they all feel united in their faith in Him. All the little and frightened ones become great at the moment in which they fall on their knees and recognize the Son of God in their Teacher. How many times the same thing happens to us! Without Jesus, far from Jesus, we feel frightened and inadequate to the point of thinking we cannot succeed. Faith is lacking! But Jesus is always with us, hidden perhaps, but present and ready to support us.
This is an effective image of the Church: a boat which must brave the storms and sometimes seems on the point of capsizing. What saves her is not the skill and courage of her crew members, but faith which allows her to walk, even in the dark, amid hardships. Faith gives us the certainty of Jesus' presence always beside us, of his hand which grasps us to pull us back from danger. We are all on this boat, and we feel secure here despite our limitations and our weaknesses. We are safe especially when we are ready to kneel and worship Jesus, the only Lord of our life. This is what our Mother, Our Lady always reminds us. We turn to her trustingly.
Saint Peter's Square, Sunday, 9 August 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
This Sunday, we continue the Reading of Chapter Six of the Gospel according to John, in which Jesus, after performing the great miracle of the multiplication of the loaves, explains to the people the meaning of that "sign" (Jn 6:41-51).
As he had done earlier with the Samaritan woman, starting from the experience of thirst and the sign of water, here Jesus begins from the experience of hunger and the sign of bread, to reveal himself and to offer an invitation to believe in him.
The people seek him, the people listen to him, because they are still enthusiastic about the miracle; they want to make him king! However, when Jesus affirms that he is the true bread given by God, many are shocked, they do not understand, and begin murmuring among themselves, saying: "Do we not know his father and mother? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" (see Jn 6:42). And they begin to murmur. Then Jesus says, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him," and he adds: "he who believes has eternal life" (vv. 44, 47).
This word of the Lord astonishes us, and makes us think. It introduces the dynamic of faith, which is a relationship: the relationship between the human person—all of us—and the Person of Jesus, where the Father plays a decisive role, and, of course, the Holy Spirit does too, which is implied here. To believe in Him, it is not enough to meet Jesus, it is not enough to read the Bible, the Gospel—this is important! But it is not enough. It is not even enough to witness a miracle, such as that of the multiplication of the loaves. So many people were in close contact with Jesus and they did not believe. In fact, they even despised and condemned him. And I ask myself: Why this? Were they not attracted by the Father? No, this happened because their hearts were closed to the action of God's Spirit. If your heart is always closed, faith doesn't enter! Instead God the Father draws us to Jesus: it is we who open or close our hearts. Instead, faith, which is like a seed deep in the heart, blossoms when we let the Father draw us to Jesus, and we "go to Him" with an open heart, without prejudices; then we recognize in his face the Face of God, and in his words the Word of God, because the Holy Spirit has made us enter into the relationship of love and of life between Jesus and God the Father. And there we receive a gift, the gift of the faith.
With this attitude of faith, we can also understand the meaning of the "Bread of Life" that Jesus gives us, and which he describes in this way: "I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh" (Jn 6:51). In Jesus, in his "flesh"—that is, in his concrete humanity—is all the love of God, which is the Holy Spirit. Those who let themselves be drawn by this love go to Jesus and go with faith, and receive from Him life, eternal life.

evening primrose oil
Definition: Evening Primrose Oil
Found in North America, Europe and Asia, the flowers of the Evening Primrose open only at night. The plants grow between four and five feet high and have lemon-scented leaves. Most of these four-petal flowers are yellow, but there are some varieties that are pink, red, or purple. The roots and stalks of the Evening Primrose can be used in cooking. Taken orally, Evening Primrose Oil is recommended for everything from menopause to treating acne.
Though it's included as an ingredient in beauty products, often hand and face creams, there is no one overwhelming cosmetic use for Evening Primrose Oil. Aubrey Organics and Ole Henriksen use it in moisturizer, while Korres uses it in an eye cream for dark circles.

Jessica Alba: Best and Worst Dressed at the 2010 People's Choice Awards
January 7, 2010 by Anna | Filed under Entertainment
Woah Mama! This girl had a baby?? Jessica Alba is looking better than ever! Not only is her body looking absolutely amazing in this form fitting silver and green dress, but she looks younger doesn't she? I love this dress, it's super fitted, it has a subtle structured shaped hip line at the skirt and it's just 'oh so hot'. What do you think of Jessica's rope heals though? I probably wouldn't have chosen that myself, but it works for me. I dig the unexpected.

On a pleasant April day in 1953, a soft-spoken, 21-year-old New York Yankee named Mickey Mantle took the plate against Washington Senators' home-team pitcher Chuck Stobbs. With two men out and Yogi Berra leading off first base, Stobbs slung a chest-high fastball. Mantle gave a mighty swing and sent the ball soaring into a 20-knot tailwind. It was a clear home run—the longest ever in the small stadium. Yet on its downward arc, after traveling 460 linear feet over the heads of slack-jawed fans, the ball ricocheted off a billboard for National Bohemian Beer and bounced clear out of Clark Griffith Stadium. Smelling a big story, the Yankees' enterprising PR agent went to find the ball in the street. When he returned, he reported that the ball had traveled an additional 105 feet. It was a front-page story in the next day's New York Daily News. The news spread around the world like wildfire.
It was an epic blast, but was it really 565 feet? And what about that extra bounce off the sign? In the end it didn't really matter. The PR agent's story stuck. Mickey Mantle had set the first of a lifetime of world records.
I spin this yarn because it's a modern parallel to a media event that began to unfold on November 1, 2011, when a not so soft-spoken hellman named Garrett McNamara grabbed the tow rope off a barely-known hamlet on the Portuguese coast called Nazaré. McNamara had been invited some time earlier to work with local officials eager to promote Nazaré and to prove that a three-mile-deep gash in the near-shore seafloor could focus deepwater swells to produce waves that rivaled those found at Belharra, Jaws, Mavericks, and the Cortes Bank.
Garrett is a three-time XXL winner and, of course, no stranger to massive waves. Waiting around in remote locations for something radical to happen is a large part of how he makes a living. This is the same man who, in 2007, sat shivering for hours—bobbing among car-sized chunks of ancient, fizzing ice—waiting for Child's Glacier to calve a 30-story skyscraper so he and his friend, Kealii Mamala, might harness a tsunami. It was a feat justifiably termed "Stunt of the Year" in a story I later wrote for another publication. Garrett is known for both escaping and being obliterated by some of the heaviest barrels in history and emerging from skin-shredding wipeouts—particularly at Teahupoo—laughing like a lunatic. He once allowed himself to be filmed as a giant millipede crawled out of his mouth. He would make an excellent contestant on Fear Factor. He is, in the words of Greg Long, "One of the most extreme high-sensation seekers on the planet."
In an echoing of Alaska, Garrett's efforts and patience appeared set to pay off in November. Unlike several other big-wave surfers who had also been alerted to the potential at Nazaré, McNamara heeded forecasts that indicated a low-pressure system might blitz Europe with a truly giant swell. McNamara was met by Andrew Cotton and Alastair Mennie—a Brit and an Irishman widely known for charging through the head-splitting Gaelic barrels off Mullaghmore Head. The trio found 27 feet of deep-water swell creating towering peaks off Nazaré's Praia do Norte (North Beach) in the 50- to 60-foot range. The wave was not as critical as, say, Mavs or Jaws, but it was one of the biggest beachbreaks ever seen.
As Mennie sat gobsmacked in the channel, a wave—or perhaps a conjoined pair of waves—focused into a single towering peak that Mennie described as "a rogue." Cotton pegged the throttle and Garrett bounced and skipped into a massive, emerald left, then ran down the line for about 20 seconds, avoiding a cascading lip and deepwater punishment.
Word of the wave was leaked through a Tweet by Kelly Slater on November 3: "I just saw a shot of Garrett Macnamara [sic] from Portugal on a stupidly big wave. He should post that thing ASAP. Looks like huge Jaws." On November 6, a newly registered mystery man, who identified himself as "Mattice," created a post on Surfermag.com's online Forum. "Garrett McNamara breaks record for world's biggest wave ridden," he wrote. "Will be on news soon."
Who was Mattice? What did his cryptic words mean? Other message-boarders waited, wondered, and hurled praise and insult onto Garrett, Laird, and one another.
Two days later, a press release from Praia do Norte public relations went viral with the headline: "Garrett Mcnamara Breaks World Record Riding The Biggest Wave Ever In Nazaré!!" Sportscaster Jim Rome frothed: "That is CG right there, and I don't mean computer generated, I mean completely gnarly." ESPN Sports Center host Scott Van Pelt brushed off Kelly Slater's 11th world title win by stating, "That's great, but he can't touch Garrett McNamara." And although SURFER scribe Kimball Taylor's ESPN blog pointed out that the only source for the world-record claim seemed to be a public relations statement from Nazaré, even his story carried the headline, "Garrett McNamara breaks world record for largest wave ever surfed."
A world record was declared on Good Morning America, CNN, SI.com and The Daily Beast. Gizmodo blogger Andrew Tarantola wrote: "Apparently born without a sense of fear, Garrett McNamara just broke the world record for largest wave surfed by successfully navigating this 90-foot wall of watery death. The previous record—77 feet—was set by Mike Parsons in 2008. Sorry Mike." HuffingtonPost sports reporter Dan Treadway sourced Tarantola, chiding Mike Parsons for "surfing a paltry 77-foot wave," at the Cortes Bank.
The Huffington Post, NPR, and a host of newspaper writers who also gave McNamara the record cited a website called SurferToday.com, a website that did little more than regurgitate the original press release. I'd never heard of SurferToday, so I asked editor Luis Pinto to see what he made of all this. Turns out that Luis is both Portuguese and apparently worked with the North Canyon promotional team in deeming the wave a world record. "Fortunately, I'm not a journalist, a judge, or a member of the Guinness Book of Records," he wrote me in an email. "I simply have my own opinion."
Much of the surf media—including SURFER, The Surfer's Journal, and Surfline—largely ignored the wave, a fact Mavericks surfer, XXL judge, and Surfing Editor Taylor Paul pointed out in their blog. "We ignored it because Garrett, or somebody in his camp, claimed it," he wrote. "Ninety feet. World record. And that doesn't sit well with us because it breaks the surfer's code…that we must let our surfing do the talking and appreciate whatever recognition may come of it."
Garrett was understandably cagey about talking to me, but to his credit, he answered my questions unflinchingly. Contrary to assumptions and accusations, he said, "I did not have a publicist or any 'PR Machine.'" The only help I had was my love Nicole who is a school teacher and helped with everything. The North Canyon Project does not have a PR machine either. Only three people out of everyone working on the project made any money—three videographers, who earned a thousand dollars for two months of work. I did not make any money from the project."
McNamara said that he had no idea how big the wave was when he was riding it. When he saw it, he only knew it was big. Nicole, however, suggested he send the footage to a former XXL judge (who said it could be as big as 85-90 feet) along with an oceanographer and a handful of surfers, including Kelly Slater and Greg Noll. All of them told Garrett it was a big wave—one of the biggest ever documented—so it was then sent on to Bill Sharp for consideration by XXL judges for both "Biggest Wave" and "Ride of the Year."
"There is also a Kinetics Sports Movement Institute where they have the latest technology," Garrett said. "They frame-grabbed three different times through the wave at different points and got anywhere from 28-31 meters [91-102 feet]."
McNamara said that he did not tell the North Canyon team to describe his wave as a 90-foot-high world record—giving some credence to Luis Pinto's assertion. "I did not agree to put 90 feet," he said. "They put around 90 feet, which I didn't agree to either. It's not my project, so in the end, they did what they wanted. Then for some reason, the mainstream media ran with it, and the surf media did what they usually do: If it was one of the surf companies' team riders who dictate to the magazines, he would be a hero. I think the reason the mainstream media grabbed a hold of the story is because this year has been full of negativity—even sports has had a rough year."
"Garrett's wave—it really was an accomplishment," said Greg Noll during a phone call. "And you know, he doesn't always get the kind of credit he deserves for the shit he does. It's hard to get recognized if you're dancing to your own tune, as opposed to when you have six guys attacking a spot. I like and respect the hell out of the guy. He's so sincere. He's just off doing his own thing, and he stumbles into some incredible stuff."
"I appreciate Garrett's animalistic, raw energy," added Ken "Skindog" Collins, a two-time XXL winner. "He's a beast—caveman style. But GMac rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Some have said to me that he owes the world an apology—that the wave's not that big. Well, I'm not going down the path of thinking I'm going to discredit Garrett's wave, look like a hater, and belittle big-wave surfing. What he did trumped everyone's hype button tenfold. He's going to bring more attention to big-wave surfing."
It was on these points that other big-wave surfers like Greg Long, Mark Healey, and Grant "Twiggy" Baker generally agreed. But there was disagreement on whether that attention is all positive. Part of the reason, of course, is that Garrett's wave has yet to face the actual scrutiny of the Billabong XXL judging panel, which over the past decade, has become the de facto authority in judging big waves and is, for better or worse, the body that reports "official" world records to Guinness. "I'm afraid that it might just back up our 'Spicoli' image to the main stream once a real [XXL] measurement comes out," said Mark Healey. "It's about as good for the sport as prematurely crowning an 11-time World Champion."
The XXL Awards are the brainchild of former Surfing Editor Bill Sharp, whose basic idea was that the longstanding tradition of under-calling big waves was doing surfers a disservice. Why should a wave that's clearly 50 feet high be called a 25-footer? Measure the year's biggest waves, and reward the surfer accordingly. The awards now include more subjective categories like Monster Tube, Best Overall Performance, and Ride of the Year, and thousands of entries in these categories are vetted annually by a 300-member "academy," of surfers, journalists, and photographers. But the judgment that still matters most, and the one subject to the most scrutiny, is the judgment for the year's biggest wave, which is decided by an 8- to 10-person panel of big-wave surfers, meteorologists, and journalists that has included Sean Collins, Jeff Divine, Steve Hawk, Sam George, Chris Mauro, Evan Slater, and the late Larry "Flame" Moore and Philip "Flippy" Hoffman. Records have been set at Jaws, Mavericks, and the Cortes Bank, and sent on to Guinness—which accepts the XXL ruling as law. In 2008, XXL panelists unanimously decided that a four-year-old, 70-foot record held by Pete Cabrinha at Jaws was eclipsed by Mike Parsons on a 77-footer at Cortes Bank—a ride Hoffman once described to me as "the biggest goddamned thing I ever saw."
I was a judge on last year's XXL panel when we declared Benjamin Sanchis the Big Wave winner for a ride at France's Belharra (a tow-in that was not in consideration for a world record) and ruled on Shane Dorian's Monster Paddle wave at Jaws, which we saw as a potential world record. Everyone in the room was aware that the decision would change the lives of Sanchis and especially Dorian, and every effort was made to measure accurately and reach a consensus. To do anything less for someone willing to put himself into such a deadly position would be the height of disrespect. Everyone scrutinized and measured the waves from every photographic angle available. Using a known height of Dorian crouched in position, we unanimously calculated the wave to be 57 feet high—a mere two feet higher than Shawn Dollar's Maverick's paddle-in record from the year before.
Still, such close measurements mean that the process is fraught with peril. Where's the trough? How tall is the surfer to the inch? What about different camera angles? What constitutes a successful (and thus XXL-eligible) ride? Can 3D technology save the day? What if you brought in a sniper to help figure out distances and perspectives? As important as big-wave surfing is becoming, how do you avoid any perception of bias? These are questions Skindog, and a small group of big-wave surfers he has been in talks with, have been wrestling over.
"The judgment of whether to include a wave [in the XXL Awards], and world records especially, should be coming from a panel of big-wave riders," he says. "I'm not bashing Bill [Sharp], or Billabong. What they've done for big-wave surfing is incredible and I've benefitted from it. But when Billabong hands out a world record to one of their team riders, it does Billabong and that surfer a disservice, because it opens up the judgment to questioning. When Garrett gets a giant tube at Teahupoo but doesn't get a nomination. When Sion doesn't get nominated for an incomplete ride, but Shane does. Even if there is no bias, it's gonna be perceived like Paramount handing out Oscars to its own actors."
To Skindog, the solution is an association of big-wave surfers that would not only have a hand in judging world records and the XXL Awards, but also weigh in on the invitees to big-wave contests, including the event at Mavericks and the Eddie. "Bring on a solid group of big wave surfers, legends," he says. "Guys from Australia, NorCal, and Hawaii, who are deeply involved in all this. It gets rid of thoughts of corruption or agendas and it eliminates the possibility of a world record being handed out by a PR team."
Which is exactly what happened in Garrett's case. The wave could be 90 feet. It might still be a world record. But only time—and the XXL panel—will tell. But in the meantime, we might do well to hear some parting words passed along by Greg Noll: "You ride big waves for the love, and the joy, and the adrenaline rush—and that's what Garrett—hell, what all these guys have in common. How they express themselves may come out a little differently, but they're all part of the same family."

Lady Wolves basketball starts
The Lady Wolves basketball team began their season yesterday in Stratford with both the JV and Varsity teams seeing action. The team returns five players from last year's team which went 14-15 overall and 2-8 in district. First year coach,
Dustin Klafka, has moved over from the varsity boys' team to work with the Lady Wolves. Seniors Tiffany Schumacher and Mallory Jeffers will have to be early leaders on the team this year. An offense that can control the tempo of the game is needed. Last year the team would take the lead but could not hold on, losing several games late in the game. The Wolves won their last district game against Levelland. Hopefully they can continue as they left off, with a win.
