Canada is one win away from its first Olympic men's volleyball berth in 20 years.
Canada advanced to the final of the NORCECA qualifying tournament with a five-set win over Puerto Rico in semifinal action Friday. Set scores were 22-25, 25-23, 19-25, 25-23 and 15-11.
Canada will face the United States, the defending Olympic gold medallist, in Saturday's championship match. With a victory, Canada would compete in men's volleyball at the Olympics for the first time since 1992.
"In the past, there's no way we would've won that match," said captain Fred Winters, who led Canada with 18 kills. "We let them have the confidence in the beginning of the match. I don't think we got the momentum back too many times, and we still won. I'm proud of our team."
Canada coach Glenn Hoag viewed the win as a major milestone.
"For our program, it's huge," Hoag said. "We don't have a volleyball culture in Canada but we've been building this group for the last six years with a very systematic approach and young players. It's a learning process."
The third set proved pivotal. Hoag made three substitutions. Setter Dustin Schneider replaced Joshua Howatson, Adam Kaminski came in for Steve Brinkman and Dallas Soonias relieved Gavin Schmidt.
Howatson, Brinkman and Schmidt had played all of Canada's nine sets in group play, and Schmidt was the team's leading hitter with 42 kills.
"They were containing Gavin," Hoag said. "I told Dallas to start hitting cross-court to throw Puerto Rico a little off. Dustin stabilized a lot of things at setter."
With the substitutes' help, Canada broke an 8-8 tie in the fourth set and built a 22-16 lead. Soonias led the rally with four kills and Kaminski added two kills and a block assist.
Puerto Rico narrowed its deficit to 24-23 but Toon Van Lankvelt's tip at the net secured the victory.
Soonias played a key role in the fifth set. With the score tied 9-9, Soonias combined with Brinkman on a block, then pounded a kill to help Canada move ahead, 12-9.
Puerto Rico drew within 12-11 but a service error extended Canada's lead to 13-11. Then Brinkman killed a free ball and joined Soonias on a block to end the match.
Schmidt added 13 kills and Justin Duff had 10 kills and three blocks. Puerto Rico's Juan Figueroa finished with 27 kills and Ezequiel Cruz had 17 kills and three blocks.

Abuse and Neglect in Nursing Homes
Placing a loved one in an assisted living facility or nursing home is an extremely hard decision. Families will often spend a great deal of time researching various facilities in order to find the best place for their family member. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Nursing Home Care research, there are approximately 16,100 nursing homes in the United States, with a total of 1.7 million beds. The CDC reports that approximately 551,000 of persons 60 and older have experienced some form of neglect, abuse, or self-neglect while in the care of these facilities.
This neglect is often the result of the nursing home placing profits above the best interests of the patients. In an attempt to cut costs, nursing homes often fail to implement proper hiring procedures and background checks, train their employees, and invest in proper safety measures. Regardless of the excuse for the abuse or neglect of your loved one, nothing changes unless you take action.
Common Forms of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse and neglect takes many different forms. The National Center on Elder Abuse classifies nursing home mistreatment into the following categories:
Physical Abuse: This includes causing, or threatening to cause physical injury or pain. This category also includes depriving an elder of a basic need, such as food or medication. Signs and symptoms of physical abuse may include:
- Lacerations, puncture marks, welts, brushing, and black eyes
- Open wounds, bed sores, broken bones, internal bleeding, and cuts
- Broken eyeglasses or signs of restraint
- Medication overdoes or medication withholding in lab reports
- Sudden behavioral changes, such as a refusal to see visitors.
Emotional Abuse: This category focuses on the verbal or non verbal acts which inflict mental pain, distress or anguish on an older individual. Signs and symptoms of elder emotional abuse may include:
- Extreme Withdrawal
- Emotionally agitated or upset
- Sudden change in behavior
- Non-Responsive persona
Sexual Abuse: Any sexual contact deemed non-consensual. This also includes coercing an elder to watch sexual acts. Signs and symptoms of sexual abuse may include:
- Unexplained anal or vaginal bleeding
- Bruising around the genitals or breasts
- Torn or bloody clothing or undergarments
- Unexplained venereal disease
Exploitation: Illegal stealing, concealment or misuse of assets, property or funds of an elder. Signs and symptoms of exploitation may include:
- Unexpected changes in financial planning, such as wills or trusts
- Sudden withdrawal of large sums of money
- Strange use of elders ATM cards
- Forged signatures and unexplained money transfers
Neglect: This occurs when a responsible party denies or fails to provide protection, shelter, food, or healthcare to an elder. Signs and Symptoms of neglect may include:
- Changes in physical appearance due to malnutrition, dehydration, or routine
- Appearance of bed sores or unsanitary living conditions
- Untreated medical problems
Abandonment: Anyone who deserts an elderly person after they have undertaken the responsibility to provide care or custody. Signs and symptoms of abandonment may include:
- Elderly individual roaming the street or various public locations
- Any other of the many forms of desertion and solitary confinement
While efforts have provided a classification system to the different forms of abuse, many elderly citizens experience a combination of mistreatments. In addition, the signs and symptoms listed above are only a fraction of those reported. It is important to remember that the number one place you should start asking questions is with the abused or neglected person if they are in a capacity to talk. Trust your instinct in these situations. You can never be too careful.
How to Report Elder Abuse and Neglect
Reporting Elder Abuse is extremely important. The CDC estimates that 79% of elder abuse cases go unreported. If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected, you should start by calling 911 if the situation is threatening. Often, the individual needs to be immediately removed from the situation for protection and medical care.
If you are being abused, or abuse of a loved one is suspected, the Adult Protective Services program in Missouri is a great resource. This organization allows Missouri nursing home abuse patients to report abuse and research information on how to get help. Family members of loved ones or anyone who suspects abuse is occurring is encouraged to call. The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services is another great resource when dealing with elder neglect or abuse.
Federal and State Nursing Home Laws
Nursing home residents in the United States are protected by both federal and state law. The Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act of 1980 was established to protect the civil rights of residents of nursing homes and similar care facilities. Amendments to the act, known as the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act, provided additional safeguards for nursing home resident rights.
In addition to federal regulations, the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services provides licensing and regulation safety requirements for nursing homes operating within the State. These nursing home regulations cover the majority of the operations withing nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Legal Help for Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
If a loved one has been subjected to abuse or neglect in a nursing home or other long-term care facility, they are entitled to reimbursement for their harms and losses. These may include medical expenses, pain and suffering, future medical care, assisted living costs, and other damages. It is important that all cases of elder abuse are reported to stop the abuse and also to make sure others do not undergo the same mistreatment.
If a loved one has died as the result of abuse or care while in a nursing home, the family is entitled to reimbursement for their loss. A nursing home wrongful death case will help the family with funeral and burial expenses, as well as reimbursement for suffering caused by the loss of your loved one. In addition, it will ensure changes are made at the facility and other residents are protected.
The St. Louis Nursing home abuse lawyers at The Dixon Injury Firm have helped numerous victims recover for their suffering. The National Trial Lawyer's Association recognizes the lawyers at The Dixon Injury Firm as Top 100 Trial Lawyers for their compassionate and aggressive legal representation.

Mahindra: Japan Crisis to Impact Parts Supply
MUMBAI – Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. expects the crisis in Japan to hit supply of auto parts to its majority owned South Korean unit, Ssangyong Motor Co., in the short term.
However, Mahindra itself won't face any impact as it doesn't buy parts from Japan, Pawan Goenka, president of automotive and farm equipment business at Mahindra, told Dow Jones Newswires Thursday.

Charles Oputa, a.k.a. Charly Boy has joined the group of people who give New Year messages.
In his usual character, Area Fada as he's also called lampooned the government of Nigeria and also talks on other areas the masses are suffering from.
"In quiet moments like this, nothing runs through my mind than remembering all my haters, foes, enemies, friends, and those dear to me. It's New Year. Another time to make resolutions and aspire to acquire the desire we admire even if we mis-fired last year, we have this year to re-fire.
We live in a war situation, continuous Armageddon, Boko Haram bombers, poverty, insecurity, pen robbers who loot our treasures with impunity and squander the future of our youth who are morphing into anti-social scum bags. All I can wish you this year is survival. May God help us to simplify our lives and live without cluttering it.
Let's get ready for this year. God bless. CHARLYBOY, AKA, AREAFADA."

Showbiz Goes to War Trailer (1982)
31 December 1982
While a few Hollywood celebrities such as James Stewart and Clark Gable saw combat during World War II, the majority used their talents to rally the American public through bond sales, morale-boosting USO tours, patriotic war dramas and escapist film fare. Comedian David Steinberg plays host for this star-studded, 90-minute documentary, which looks at the way Tinseltown helped the United States' war effort.

GM is expected to file for a Chapter 11 "surgical bankruptcy" within days, which will then be followed by a restructure, possibly within a few months.
The formal decision on whether to file for bankruptcy protection is "up to the GM board to decide, and that meeting is later in the week", a GM spokeswoman, Julie Gibson, said. But bankruptcy specialists said the Chapter 11 filing was a virtual certainty as all other options have been exhausted.
Under the proposed rapid bankruptcy plan, parts of the company deemed viable would be transferred to a new company which will be majority owned by the US Government, prompting jokes that GM should now be known as Government Motors.
While there is no clear indication of the fate of the Australian operation, Holden, it is likely that it will not be affected by the American parent's bankruptcy - thanks to large subsidies provided by the Australian Government to keep the plant in South Australia viable.
Holden would not comment on its parent company's situation, but indicated its future was bright.
"We're really confident about our future in Australia - we have no comment about the process under way in the US," its national media manager, Scott Whiffin, said.
But the director of manufacturing research at the Centre for Automotive Research, Jay Baron, warned last week that once the GM bankruptcy reached the courts, it could have unexpected effects
on overseas operations, including those in Australia.
In a study released this week, the centre warned that a protracted and disorderly bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler lasting six months or more - "its worst-case scenario" - could have dire consequences, including the immediate loss of 90 per cent of jobs in two automotive companies, bankruptcy of several parts manufacturers, a gradual gain of market share by Ford and 70 per cent of former GM production being taken up by imports.
The result would be the loss of nearly 2 million jobs in the US by the end of 2010, compared with about 240,000 direct and indirect jobs if the GM bankruptcy was handled swiftly and smoothly within 90 days.
Once the latest funds are provided, the US Government will emerge with up to 70 per cent of the new company, taking its total investment to more than $45 billion, and making it one of the biggest bail-outs in US history. The Canadian Government will also provide funds and emerge with a small equity stake.
The United Auto Workers union members will emerge with just under 20 per cent - roughly half the holding that had originally been proposed after several days of tough negotiations over cutting benefits, closing plants and the union taking over health fund obligations for retired GM workers.
Bond holders will have less than 10 per cent of the company and current shareholders less than 1
per cent - if anything.
The remaining unwanted assets will be left in the old GM, which will work through a much longer bankruptcy process.

Director Suseenthiran who had Vikram's Rajapattai bomb at the box office has moved on with his career. He has been on search for an actress, and now the director has finally found the right one. Vazhakku Enn 18/9 girl Manisha Yadav is the lucky pick for Suseenthiran forthcoming release.
Manisha's character in Vazhakku Enn 18/9 releasing this Friday was liked by one and all. She played a gullible plus-two student Aarthy, who falls into Dinesh's MMS traps. The movie came as another hard-hitting story, thanks to the good performances. Suseenthiran who has successfully handled realistic subjects in Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu, and Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai has scripted something on similar lines. His lead heroine Manisha Yadav says, "I can't disclose much of the storyline but I can tell you that I have been roped in for the lead role in Suseenthiran sirs' next." The director has also asked Manisha to clear up on her Tamil, by hiring a tutor. Says the actress, " I had no second thoughts signing up for the film and the director has asked me to brush up my Tamil pronounciation." Things are rolling smooth for Manisha, in Kollywood.

Life took a turn in my life and now I have to leave. I almost made 8.
Oh well it was coming, I am ahead of the game so now to really budget.
At least I don't have to listen to the buzzing in my ear anymore.
At least I get my dignity back from that blaming bitch.
At least I know I did my best. I'm not going to help them when I go.
It was a struggle for me. It will be a major struggle for them.
I know they are going to suffer. But when they want to ask me back?
I will have found greener pastures. God bless me.

About Miles Chevrolet Colorado Reviews
Redesigned for 2015, the Chevy Colorado returns for 2016 with very few updates. The incoming 2016 model sports many of the same components featured on last year's Colorado for buyers to take advantage of. Tiny enhancements have been made to the model this year, but outside of the small technology upgrades, the 2016 Chevy Colorado is much like its predecessor. However, a new 2.8L Duramax turbo diesel engine will be added to the engine roster, expanding the list of available options for drivers. For more details about the midsize pickup truck and its amenities, read our 2016 Chevy Colorado review below.
When the 2016 Chevy Colorado in Decatur takes its place on the market, it will offer three engine options: a 2.5L four-cylinder, 3.6L V-6 and 2.8L Duramax diesel. The 2.5L will deliver 200 horsepower and 191 lb.-ft. of torque, while the 3.6L V-6 will produce 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque. Power-wise, the 2.8L diesel generates 181 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque, making it an ideal option for those who need to haul heavy payloads. All engines will come paired with a six-speed automatic transmission; however, extended cab 2WD WT models equipped with the 2.5L engine will also be available with a six-speed manual.
Aside from its excellent engine options, the 2016 Chevy Colorado in Decatur will feature an enhanced, color driver information center display and a new version of Chevy MyLink. The updated system will offer Apple CarPlay capability and simple smartphone integration for drivers to utilize. In addition to these benefits, the Colorado will also come with OnStar and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot so passengers can stay connected while on the go. Complete with all of these features and so much more, the midsize pickup is sure to wow Chevy fans once again this year.

One of the things that has been on my mind... I'm sure this has been examined by some atheists somewhere, but I haven't run into it (I don't do much reading). It's just a bit more explicit in my mind than it used to be.
Once you start to realize how big and complex the universe is, in my view, this provides an argument (inductive?) against any possibility of a god that is all-powerful (one which controls every quark/molecule/etc., at all times, in all ways) . As for a non-all-powerful God, I suppose some might say that still fits their hypothesis.
Views: 256
In other words, is it possible for some form of being to be truly omniscient, all-knowing? Said being would have to be conversant in topics ranging from sub-nuclear physics to the kind of cosmological science which would describe the Big Bang and its sub-processes, then also in the derivative sciences of chemistry and metallurgy, and of course, physical chemistry, which describes those processes which allow living matter to develop from non-living material. Stipulated that this is a brief list and not at all meant to be all-inclusive.
Said being would also have to be, if not omnipotent, then pretty damned potent. It would have to set up the initial conditions for everything in the universe to occur as we have seen it, but even more than that. It would have to simultaneously make it look as though the whole enchilada happened On Its Own, without any form of external interference.
Could such a being exist, some form of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and a dash of Sheldon Cooper on steroids? I suppose ... but does this thing, whatever it is, also get its rocks off on the smell of burnt sacrifices, turning curious women into salt pillars, and repeatedly throwing screwballs at what is supposed to be its supreme creation, too?
Sorry, but that starts to sound too much like the bratty little kid with his magnifying glass, hanging out at the anthill. Regardless of how someone might want to define it, they still haven't PRODUCED it or evidence for it, and until such time, I ain't havin' any.
The universe and space beyond is so complex, intricate, and reliant on its own laws of physics that the notion of a god is not sufficient enough to explain it, especially in light of the zero evidence we have. Theists may claim that complexity and intricacy are proof of god and of a designer. But, I ask, if a god has done all this, why create a universe so needlessly complex or one that can function entirely on its own merits?
Is "God" possible?
Is God possible?
In English the word exists. Someone named that is unnecessary.
Man can't even create a worm, yet he creates gods by the dozens.
Is god possible? Well, yes, as possible as fairies at the bottom of my garden. Is he probable? As probable as fairies at the bottom of my garden. As atheists we can state with certainty that god does not exist (god is impossible). As impossible as fairies at the bottom of my garden.
Thanks for the various responses. In my own words:
- 1) I don't see how an omniscient all-powerful god is possible. .
- 2) If we try to tone it down as to the definition of a "god" and say that it is an entity that is relatively more powerful than we are, but which is neither omniscient nor all-powerful, then I have to come back with how is that necessarily any sort of "god"? Isn't that just playing games with words? If we specify in the definition that this entity has powers that we regard as "supernatural" then, as far as I can tell, this would just fit within saying that we humans haven't yet understood the principles behind those powers. So, I think this second case fits within some sort of anthropological bucket of understanding sometimes beings define a "god" as an entity that appears to have an unusual amount of power over them and the surrounding world. We can understand this as an anthropological phenomenon without agreeing that the more powerful entities actually have supernatural powers, omniscience and total power over everything. Powers that appear to us as "supernatural" and all-powerful are, in my view, indicative more of our own unwillingness properly to bucket the not-yet-understood as part-of-the-world-but-not-yet-understood.
All that hand-wringing may be a bit annoying, but to come back to the beginning - if we consider some of the basic known physical properties of the world around us, and I suppose some of the basic psychological properties, and if we really think about them (the number of atomic and sub-atomic particles, the forces at work, the speed of light, the workings of the brain, the elements of consciousness, etc.), I guess I'll say, not to be rude but to be honest, ludicrous to hypothesize an all-powerful all-knowing entity..... it seems like a less-than-fully-competent or less than a full effort better to understand what is around us, and what is important.
One point needs to be made in the midst of any discussion regarding the existence of any kind of supernatural, foundational being: in the course of humankind's study of the phenomena which surround him, there is one truism which has characterized the resolution of each and every investigation:
The Answer Has NEVER Been "Magic."
Without exception, our forays have resulted in natural causations and processes which may be rationally understood. There has been no discontinuity, no break, no result so extraordinary as to break the back of the scientific method. Personally, I am severely dubious that any such break will ever occur or will provide substantiation for some supernatural element. Such a discovery would be inconsistent with the rest of what we've found the nature of this reality to be, and while that is hardly the strongest argument against such a being, it remains worthy of consideration.
good point.
Loren, in my two years in a Catholic high school taught by nuns, a kid who was thinking was committing the sin of pride.
Doncha feel guilty?
I went two years to a Catholic high school taught by Jesuits and don't remember a line as manipulative as that one.
We can't even guess how many inhabited planets there are. One? Unlikely. Dozens? Hundreds? ... Millions?
Now picture one entity listening to the whims of each denizen of each planet, deciding whether to grant the wish or not, and doing it.
Inconceivable? To me, anyway.
For me the whole idea just breaks down.
Then when you try to believe everything in the Old Testament? No way.
Spontaneous generation? I don't know, but it's not as silly on the face of it as the loving, omniscient, omnipotent deity.
If you have ever waded around in all the biblical muck about god you end up in the NT where believers get all these wonderful descriptions of god characteristics and you find it all boils down to humanistic family ideas. The theist will tell you this is the only way that we humans would understand it and they also tell you that god is creating his family. Some go so far as to say that god is reproducing himself in us. A close look at this and you see exactly where ideas of god came from.
Mankind wants to have all the answers. This is "one upmanship" over the other guy and believers constantly make up crap to explain all the nonsense. Many buy into it. Years ago I did too.
Is a god being possible like the one described in the bible? I seriously doubt it. What would be the point of it? If god knew everything in advance it would make no sense. What am I being "saved" from when the negative force is bound forever in the end? Why am I praising god forever when he knew exactly how it would all play out from the beginning?
Do a little thinking on that and you find god to be imaginary.
I am just wondering how come you and I, and everybody else, are not a God. What ever the answer is can't the same answer be applied to a God?

Ben Pilling
Events Management Graduate
- Leeds / West Midlands
- 07584 077304
- [email protected]
A motivated, enthusiastic and trustworthy events management graduate, with work experience in both indoor and outdoor events who relishes being involved within the events and hospitality industry.
When I'm not working for Spindlewood at festivals during the summer, I work for Mint at their two venues and two festivals.
My roles include being Bar Staff, Bar Manager and Bar support. My responsibilities have included, but are not limited to:
My past experience gives me the confidence that I can thrive at Mint in this position, with my contacts and experience within the events management industry rising as I continue to work here.
Being a keen graduate, I decided to re-launch the events company that I had previously secured a university placement with. Successfully managing a variety of my own small-scale events at bars, pubs and nightclubs has assured me that I possess all of the relevant skills needed, to be an asset within the events and hospitality industry.
During my first summer as a graduate, I secured seasonal work with Spindlewood and have been involved in installing various types of temporary event technology at English summer festivals including 'Glastonbury', 'Leeds', 'Download', 'Latitude' and 'BoomTown'.
My roles include:
Working for Spindlewood during festival seasons at some of the UK's best and biggest events has provided me with invaluable experience into how events of this scale are managed. I got to know many influential people within the events industry and experienced a great deal of behind the scenes procedures.
In between my university term time, I worked for Kasbah Nightclub.
My roles included:
Overall, the experience that I have gained from my various roles at this events company has given me the confidence that I can work well under pressure as well as in a team. This job has also given me further experience into the world of events and entertainment management and what it requires to be successful in this industry.
Dusk was a student run events company that organised and hosted nightclub events around Leeds; I was lucky enough to secure a very active role within this company during my university placement year, which led to me gaining a wealth of valuable experience.
My roles included:
Being given the responsibility of recruiting and managing staff has given me valuable people management skills; attending meetings with venue managers has given me an insight into what it entails when booking a venue. Overall seeing an event progress from the initial proposal to a successful night has convinced me that being involved in event and entertainment management is a career that I want to pursue.
During my first year of university I secured a part time job with student nightclub event company Taking Liberties. My responsibilities included promoting various events that the company hosts, by engaging with students face to face and through social media. This work has given me lots of experience into how to effectively promote an event, and how to best attract the maximum amount of attendees to an event.
(Leeds Beckett University is the UK Centre for Events Management and the longest-running events management course in the UK.)
Activities and Societies:
- Successfully completed a placement year.
- Part of the Leeds Becket UKCEM Events Society.
- Attended and passed a BIIAB Personal Licence Course.

Mercury opposite Neptune is a great aspect for letting the imagination have free reign. Indeed, this is a surreal imaginative and expansion expression. The individual is insightful and creatively inspired, with a vast sea of all thoughts and feelings. Because of this mental osmosis, they are not sure whether it's your mind doing the thinking as certain thoughts or ideas seem to come from 'somewhere else,' they doubt their authenticity.
Actually, they lose track of your train of thought many times. The mind takes on a vagueness and subliminal tone and they must be careful not to get derailed. The type may suffer from plenty of misunderstandings, confusion, and disorder around the communication areas. It may reveal itself through the mundane matters of life. Moreover, it could be a feeling of mental fatigue and tiredness that takes a hold. Perceptions feel distorted, unusual and just strange. Whatever the case, the mental nature and the subconscious come together receiving psychic insights, and also feeling 'tuned out' from reality.
Thinking in pictures is something of a gift got these kinds of people. Also, being in touch with the Collective Unconscious. The mind is wholly open and receptive. It can be hard to verbalise feelings. At times, it would be ideal for them to write some poetry, learn to be introspective and just go with the flow. Otherwise, they might find themselves drunk on Lethe, and lost in the river of forgetfulness. Neptune tends to put the mind into a deep sleep, pulling it into the deeper layers of the unconscious. Foremost, Neptune is the planet of extreme hypersensitivity. In fact, this watery planet afflicts us with unbearable sensitivity. It can make anybody feel transparent and terribly drawn to this introverted world, away from external reality.
Many people influenced by Neptune will often feel more sensitive, gentle and perceptive than the average person. Mercury is our trickster, shapeshifter and ever changeable. As it rules the mind, this type may feel as if their mentality is swayed by the feelings and thoughts of others. Plus, as it rules the intellect, it is already one of the most sensitive instruments to the environment. When Mercury is opposite Neptune the floodgates open and the mind is taken everywhere. The individual may become extremely sensitised to the words of others. A fluid-like mentality shows a greater need for an anchor. Overall, though, they possess a receptiveness, dreaminess and sympathetic style of thought that is unparalleled. The details of life feel boring and their cerebral sensitivity makes them feel disturbed by the opinions of others.

one must make use of one's finest instrument, the intellect. The

- I would not take existentialism as a "knowledge system", but I suppose it
all depends upon what you mean by "knowledge system". I would take
existentialism as a philosophy which is a sort of answer system for specific
questions that arise in life. I would say as much of yoga, however, some of
the sutras seem to be stating the obvious, especially 1.8.

Subject: [existlist] Re: The Hindu `s are coming
Existentialism is a knowledge system, I gather from your brief note.
your premise is that theism is not truth. There is no God. Is that the
truth existentialists hold to? You mention the main writers are not
theists. So there are also theist existentials? Or do you exclude the
"knowledge" of theists from existentialism? You look for a narrow truth
then.I speak of yoga. Yoga is an Indian knowledge system. One of the
six. There are three others that are non-theist. The Indian knowledge
system is wide ranging. It is a quest for truth. It excludes nothing.the
basic text of the yoga system is the Patanjali yoga sutras comprising
196 thought strings:For instance on Un-coloring your thoughts
<http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm> the sutras say:
(Yoga Sutras 1.5-1.11)
1.5 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.5> Those gross and
subtle thought patterns (vrittis) fall into five varieties, of which
some are colored (klishta) and others are uncolored (aklishta).
1.6 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.6> The five
varieties of thought patterns to witness are: 1) knowing correctly
(pramana), 2) incorrect knowing (viparyaya), 3) fantasy or imagination
(vikalpa), 4) the object of void-ness that is deep sleep (nidra), and 5)
recollection or memory (smriti).
1.7 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.7> Of these five,
there are three ways of gaining correct knowledge (pramana): 1)
perception, 2) inference, and 3) testimony or verbal communication from
others who have knowledge.
1.8 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.8> Incorrect
knowledge or illusion (viparyaya) is false knowledge formed by
perceiving a thing as being other than what it really is.
1.9 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.9> Fantasy or
imagination (vikalpa) is a thought pattern that has verbal expression
and knowledge, but for which there is no such object or reality in
1.10 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.10> Dreamless sleep
(nidra) is the subtle thought pattern which has as its object an
inertia, blankness, absence, or negation of the other thought patterns
1.11 <http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras-10511.htm#1.11> Recollection or
memory (smriti) is mental modification caused by the inner reproducing
of a previous impression of an object, but without adding any other
characteristics from other sources.
To understand the true nature of Yoga as a path of truth inquiry, it is
necessary to have some small understanding of the six classical schools
or systems of Indian philosophy, of which Yoga is one. It is important
to note that the Yoga system contains, or is built on four of the other
systems or schools of Indian philosophy (Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimasa, and
Sankhya). In other words, it is not necessary to go into great depth
into those as separate studies and practices. They are adequately
incorporated into the Yoga system, from the standpoint of doing the
practices. In addition, the Vedanta system is a practical companion to
the Yoga system.

Anaemic/blood results??
Hello All
I've been to the haematology clinic this morning and was told I was anaemic, but that they would keep my HU dosage (16 x 500 mg per week) the same this time but review it in 8 weeks when I go back. My blood results are:
Platelets 394 up from 363 last time (May)
RBC 3.03 down from 3.42 last time
Haemaglobin 112 down from 117 last time
Haematocrit 0.34 down from 0.38 last time
MCV 112.8 from 113.3
MCH 36.9 from 38.4
MCHC and RDW in range, and WBC counts all in range
The results aren't wildly out of the ranges specified but it's always worrying when you don't understand any of these things anyway!
(They could have written it in Swahili for all I understand it!)
Anybody got any idea if these results mean anything??
Or can I play the "I'm not well - someone else will have to do all the cooking/cleaning etc card"
Is it possible it's because I have lost 2 stone over the last few months and the dosage needs changing accordingly?
Thanks in advance for any info (relevant or not!)

'Mystery Rome girl' refuses to return home after family fly out for emotional reunion
THE HOMELESS student identified as Rome's mystery girl has refused to return home with her parents after they were reunited with her.
Missing persons forums this week were awash with speculation when pictures emerged of 21-year-old Embla Jauhojarvi on the streets of the Italian capital.
The internet claimed Embla, who suffers from Asperger's, could be missing Brit girl Madeleine McCann, who would 13 now.
But despite having spent the past six months living rough Embla has refused to even speak with her dad Tahvo, who described his daughter as "a wreck" after their brief meeting, The Sun reports.
"She didn't say anything – she didn't want me to contact her"Embla's dad Tahvo Jauhojarvi
He said: "She was almost like a zombie. She wanted to go out (on the streets) again and do what she was doing.
"She didn't say anything – she didn't want me to contact her."
Earlier Tahvo had called his daughter "a bright girl".
"She can get in those strange situations," he said. "She's looking like a bag lady, homeless, and she doesn't have any belongings, no clothes, any cellphone."
Missing Madeleine McCann
Italian police confirmed they were providing Embla, originally from Stockholm, Sweden, with accommodation.
A police spokesperson said: "She is in good health but we are doing health checks and are giving her accommodation for the moment in Rome.
"Her parents haven't had contact with her in a few months."
Cops confirmed they had spoken to Embla during her spell on the streets – but they claimed she said she was British and called Maria.
Embla reportedly left Sweden to study Italian six months ago – but did not contact her parents once abroad.

Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The Pegasus in mythology carried the lightning bolts for Zeus, therefore, the Pegasus represents the unit's mission to develop, build, test and procure long range strike weapons. The delta icon represents the cruise missile strike vehicle procured by the Squadron. The lightning bolts represent the actual precision strike capability delivered by that cruise missile. The "SILENT THUNDER" motto represents the weapon's ability to deliver a stealthy but robust effect against its targets.

Annie EADIE
Probably Annie Bruce EADIE (also found as EADE).
At the time of the 1891 Census she was living in Ayr Lane, St Ives with her husband, William EADIE, an artist.
William EADIE
Originating from Scotland and classified as a painter of domestic subjects, William Eadie from St John's Wood, London came to St Ives in 1885 as a winter resident. Initially he had a studio made out of an old out-house, and he and his wife Annie EADIE lived at Halsetown. He exhibited three paintings at the Dowdeswell show of 1890 with the Cornish-associated painters, and a further three at Nottingham Castle in 1894.
Eadie was one of the Founder Members, with his wife, of the St Ives Arts Club. The panels of Twelve Apostles in St John's in the Fields Church, St Ives, were painted by him. He died in London and is buried at Highgate.
Kathleen EARLE
Daughter of Samuel (a barrister) and Marion 'May' Earle, Kathleen moved with her family from Eltham to Bromley in 1901, and their house 'The Thwaite' was the family home throughout her young years. As she had qualified as an Assistant Teacher while at school, her parents wanted her to be a teacher, but whilst at her small finishing school (near Hastings, Sussex) where she became known as an accomplished artist, she read about the FORBES SCHOOL in The Studio and proceeded to apply for further study there (1910-11).
She introduced to Newlyn, and later married in 1918, Alec George WALKER, an artist-craftsman. Together they set up a fabric-designing and -making business known as Cryséde, first in Newlyn at Myrtle Cottage (the 'Myrtage') and later in St Ives.
Myrtle Cottage had been a boarding house pre WWI for the pupils of the FORBES School. They drew their primary inspiration for their designs from the local natural environment. Kathleen not only exhibited paintings (1924) but also illustrations, dolls and leatherwork up until the 1930s at NAG. (See Alec George WALKER and CRYSEDE entries for fuller accounts of the work.)
[Photo likenesses of Kay and Alec in Hardie 1995, p59 and Hardie 2009, p65]
Tom EARLY
By profession a medical doctor, Early was first spotted as a promising talent by Ben NICHOLSON in 1946. Befriended by sculptor Denis MITCHELL, he proceeded to begin showing his work together with him in the next three years. The chronology revealed in the Tate's publication St Ives 1939-64 gives the main progress of his exhibiting life in Cornwall. He was said to be a 'natural primitive' painter, with rich, colourful application.
In 1952 he returned to medicine full-time, becoming the registrar of the Derby Mental Hospital. With the Derby Group, he exhibited in 1961 at the Derby Art Gallery. His final solo show was at the Midland Group Gallery in 1965 (Buckman).
His wife Eunice Campbell Early published his biography in 1994, The Magic Shuttle - The Story of Tom Early, St Ives and after.
Alfred EAST
The artist began his working life in his brother's shoe factory in Northamptonshire. Starting at the age of thirty-one, he took art lessons in Glasgow whilst there on business, and later studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and Academie Julian.
A prolific and widely-travelled painter, who lived strictly to a personal code of 'work first', he painted in the vivid atmospheric manner of the Barbizon artists, often on a large scale (thus satisfying the Edwardian taste for large drawing room pictures); he was very impressed with the French landscape artists.
He was awarded numerous international medals and awards, and worked across Europe and in Japan and Africa, exhibiting at the RA from 1883 in every year until his death in 1913. Based in London, he visited St Ives from the 1890s to 1910, where his patience and scholarly approach to art had a strong bearing on the development of young painters.
He lived in The Terrace, St Ives. Charles MARRIOTT declared himself amused by the 'rivalry between East and Hemy as raconteurs.' His own writings include The Art of Landscape Painting in Oil Colour (1906) and Brush and Pencil Notes in Landscape (1914, posthumous publication). He was awarded the Grand Order of the Corona of Italy in 1903, and knighted in England in 1910.
Charles Herbert EASTLAKE
The artist studied in Antwerp and Paris, and lived and painted from Balham (1889-93) and Warwick Square, London (1902). Illustrations of his work appear in The Studio magazine, and he is included in New Zealand Gallery (Wellington and Christchurch) Collections.
In 1893, his signature appears on an Arts Club letter, the same year as the Canadian artist Mary Alexander BELL, whom he subsequently married, came to St Ives. Tovey remarks that it is not surprising that St Ives was as much a 'seedbed of romance' as a welling up of artistic friendships.
Mary Alexandra EASTLAKE
Canadian by birth, Mary Bell studied in Montreal with Robert Harris, and subsequently in New York at the Art Students League with William Merritt Chase, and at the Academie Colarossi in Montparnesse, Paris (1891).
She had arrived in St Ives in 1893 from Ontario, having been for a brief period a member of the staff of the Victoria School of Art in Montreal (1892). In St Ives she met her future husband, Charles Herbert EASTLAKE. As Miss M A Bell, she painted from Tregenna Terrace in 1896 and maintained a studio in Regent's Park. The couple designed and made enamels for jewellery, and travelled extensively on the Continent.
In 1911 the couple were painting from a studio in Chelsea, London. During this period they lived in Warwick Square, London and later at 'Hollywood' in Croydon. By 1939 they had returned to Montreal, and shortly thereafter to Ontario. She died in Ottawa in 1951.
She exhibited regularly at the RA. Her studies of Dutch child-life had a great success in England and America.
Frank S EASTMAN
Falmouth association. His portrait of Colonel J P Carne (1954) can be seen at Falmouth Town Council. His 1958 portraits of Arthur Trevena Holman 1893-1959 and Percy Miners Holman 1895-1969 are in the art collection of the Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro.
Rosalind EASTMAN
Eastman with her husband Chris THOMAS moved to North Cornwall. She has taught art in secondary schools, and has been a adult education tutor in art history. She also worked for the Footsbarn Travelling Theatre Co. She is a member of the North Cornwall Seven Group and has exhibited with them around Cornwall, including their exhibition in 1998 at the Falmouth Art Gallery. She has also exhibited at Rainyday Gallery in Penzance.
Her studies in Fine Art were originally at Reading University, where she was taught by Ray ATKINS and John Wonnacott. In 2003 Eastman was employed as an art therapist by Cornwall Partnership Trust, working with adults with mental health problems.
The artist was the Art Union of Cornwall prize winner in the 1920 RCPS September Show (taking home £10 10s 0d), and recorded as being from Carbis Bay. No further information currently available.

Hughie O'Donoghue — Paintings 1994–1996
Born in 1953, Hughie O'Donoghue lives and works in Ireland. Like Francis Bacon, O'Donoghue concentrates on the human body, its carnality, vulnerability, and sensual power. In his predominately large-format paintings, layers of paint superimpose one another as if the artist wishes to give them a new skin. His paintings evoke memories of major religious subjects: the Mount of Olives, the Stations of the Cross, martyrdom, death, and resurrection. But O'Donoghue, here again comparable to Bacon, is not interested in illustrating singular biblical events. Rather, his paintings obtain existential density, presence, and validity through their particular fragmentary character as well as their ambivalence between exposure and concealment.

Skip to comments.The Spirit of the Liturgy
Posted on 11/24/2002 4:55:40 PM PST by ultima ratio
Una Voce Home News
Contact Excerpt from Cardinal Ratzinger's The Sprit of the Liturgy Rites are not rigidly fenced off from each other. There is exchange and cross-fertilization between them. The clearest example is in the case of the two great focal points of ritual development: Byzantium and Rome. In their present form, most of the Eastern rites are very strongly marked by Byzantine influences. For its part, Rome has increasingly united the different rites of the West in the universal Roman rite. While Byzantium gave a large part of the Slavic world its special form of divine worship, Rome left its liturgical imprint on the Germanic and Latin peoples and on a part of the Slavs.
In the first millennium there was still liturgical exchange between East and West. Then, of course, the rites hardened into their definitive forms, which allowed hardly any cross-fertilization. What is important is that the great forms of rite embrace many cultures. They not only incorporate the diachronic aspect, but also create communion among different cultures and languages. They elude control by any individual, local community, or regional Church. Unspontaneity is of their essence. In these rites I discover that something is approaching me here that I did not produce myself, that I am entering into something greater than myself, which ultimately derives from divine revelation. That is why the Christian East calls the liturgy the "Divine Liturgy", expressing thereby the liturgy's independence from human control.
The West, by contrast, has felt ever more strongly the historical element, which is why Jungmann tried to sum up the Western view in the phrase "the liturgy that has come to be". He wanted to show that this coming-to-be still goes on as an organic growth, not as a specially contrived production. The liturgy can be compared, therefore, not to a piece of technical equipment, something manufactured, but to a plant, something organic that grows and whose laws of growth determine the possibilities of further development.
In the West there was, of course, another factor. With his Petrine authority, the pope more and more clearly took over responsibility for liturgical legislation, thus providing a juridical authority for the continuing formation of the liturgy. The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and limits of this authority, which, of course, as such had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West.
In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith, and that also applies to the liturgy. It is not "manufactured" by the authorities. Even the pope can only be a humble servant of its lawful development and abiding integrity and identity. Here again, as with the questions of icons and sacred music, we come up against the special path trod by the West as opposed to the East. And here again is it true that this special path, which finds space for freedom and historical development, must not be condemned wholesale. However, it would lead to the breaking up of the foundations of Christian identity if the fundamental intuitions of the East, which are the fundamental intuitions of the early Church, were abandoned. The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition. Still less is any kind of general "freedom" of manufacture, degenerating into spontaneous improvisation, compatible with the essence of faith and liturgy. The greatness of the liturgy depends we shall have to repeat this frequently on its unspontaneity (Unbeliebigkeit).
Let us ask the question again: "What does 'rite' mean in the context of Christian liturgy?" The answer is: "It is the expression, that has become form, of ecclesiality and of the Church's identity as a historically transcendent communion of liturgical prayer and action." Rite makes concrete the liturgy's bond with that living subject which is the Church, who for her part is characterized by adherence to the form of faith that has developed in the apostolic Tradition. This bond with the subject that is the Church allows for different patterns of liturgy and includes living development, but it equally excludes spontaneous improvisation. This applies to the individual and the community, to the hierarchy and the laity. Because of the historical character of God's action, the "Divine Liturgy" (as they call it in the East) has been fashioned, in a way similar to Scripture, by human beings and their capacities. But it contains an essential exposition of the biblical legacy that goes beyond the limits of the individual rites, and thus it shares in the authority of the Church's faith in its fundamental form. The authority of the liturgy can certainly be compared to that of the great confessions of faith of the early Church. Like these, it developed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (cf. Jn 16:13).
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, The Spirit of the Liturgy (Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 2000), pp. 164-167).

My paragraph 105 reads:"God is the author of Sacred Scripture.The divinely revealed realities,which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture,have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
'For Holy Mother Church,relying on the faith of the apostolic age,accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and New Testament,whole and entire,with all their parts,on the grounds that,written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,they have God as their author and have been handed on as such,to the Church herself."
I am upset that you,UR, continually use documents that were corrected by the Vatican because the conniving English translators twisted and spun the original version to say what they wanted.Then you contort things to put the very worst light on the Church for which you purport to care.You need to check your motives,if you desire to make others believe you care.
The Church is besieged by enemies on all sides,within and without,and a person with energy,a good knowledge of what the Church is and the ability to express it fairly well,like you,wastes your gifts (ammunition) by shooting at decoys and allies. I can't believe that you don't know what you are doing.
And so we are often called as well.
Ultima does indeed have all the hallmarks of a good Orthodox Christian, those being love of tradition, resistance to change, deep devotion to the liturgy in and of itself, a sprinkling of contentiousness, a strong desire to defend one's faith at all costs, and a lack of clericalism.

I noticed the change in the air last week. A few mornings ago it seemed much darker when I got up to run. Then my neightbor found one, an October Spider, or at least that is what we call them here. By the time October comes around they are HUGE and many morings I avoid walkways and their webs. I guess we are not the only ones who call them October Spiders. When I see them I know; it's time for fall.
I think every season is my favorite season in Southern California. The climate is mild, but we do have seasonal changes. And every time we do I think the new season is my favorite. So I guess they all are. I do prefer the fashions of fall and winter, but each time I feel the new season coming on I get excited for all the things it will bring.
This fall is no different. The kids are going back to school and I started thinking about my sweaters and boots that are packed away. All of a sudden roasted pumpkin seeds sounded good and I started looking at soup recipes. Some weekend trips have been planned and my mind jumped to the weather changes and what will be at local restaurants.
It was so subtle that change in the air, but it is almost here. Fall. I can't wait!
