Police: Two men rob man sitting in his car in Roosevelt
Nassau Police detectives are searching for two men who robbed a 74-year-old man as he sat in his car in Roosevelt Sunday afternoon.
First Squad detectives said the man was sitting in his car on East Roosevelt Avenue, when two men, who appeared to be about 18 years old, pulled up to his car on mountain bikes.
One of the men, described as thin, wearing a light-colored sweatshirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap reportedly brought out a dark handgun and demanded the victim's money. The other man is described as short, with a medium build and wearing dark clothing.
Both escaped with an "undetermined" amount of cash, heading south on Park Avenue, police said.

Newsflash 3: Assessing Impact in the Enabling Environment, SDC/Brigitte Spaeth, November 2005

- Description
The issue of Enabling Environment (EE), in which small enterprises operate, appeared only recently on the agenda of the international donor community. This issue will be addressed at the forthcoming conference of Donor Agencies for Small Enterprise Developments conference on reforming the business environment. Donors and executing agencies alike are facing a
double challenge.
First, supporting the reform of the legal, regulatory, policy, organisational and institutional framework is a relatively new task in SED. Instruments and tools are currently being developed and tested. Second, there is an ever increasing demand for impact monitoring, and consequently, a need for appropriate monitoring instruments and systems. The main issue of this News Flash is impact monitoring and assessment of enabling business environment activities in SED.
An initial screening, an ex-ante appraisal or baseline survey / study for identifying the constraints of the business environment stands usually at the
beginning of EE-intervention. This does not only provide important information for designing the interventions but serves also as a base for observing
in the process of changes in the business behaviour and environment. In this respect, most of the assessment tools mentioned below, serve a double purpose: diagnosis and observation of how the prescribed cure works.

By Chris Oliver, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Manufacturing conditions in South Korea and Taiwan remained in contraction in December, though Korea appeared to face a more serious threat as activity slumped to a nearly three-year low, according to manufacturing surveys released on Monday.
HSBC's manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) survey showed South Korean exporters suffered a big drop in new orders, both abroad and domestically, which could point to sharper deterioration ahead, even a current shipments were sustained at a healthy clip.
HSBC economists said the deteriorating picture suggested a "weak start" for 2012 and forecast the Bank of Korea would cut interest rates in the first quarter to help shore up growth.
Meanwhile, the Taiwanese PMI showed improved conditions from November, though the headline index remained below the 50-level that separates expansion from contraction.
HSBC said factory activity on the island could be about to shift into a higher gear, helped by resupply activity from the dominant electronic-component sector after six months of inventory draw-downs.

Korea shaky
The HSBC South Korea PMI firms was 46.40 in December, falling from 47.12 in November. The reading marked the fifth straight-month the index registered contraction, and was the weakest of any single month since February 2009.
Analysts said the data showed the fundamentals weakening, as seen in softening employment conditions — which turned negative in the survey for the first time in nearly three years.
HSBC economists said the global downturn may be about to catch up with an economy that's so far proven resilient, labelling its research note "The last of the good days?" and highlighting data showing domestic retail sales were deteriorating.
"The contraction in employment growth was particularly worrying, given that Korea's low unemployment rate provided support for sustained domestic demand last year. With this pillar starting to look wobbly, pressure will increase on both the government and Bank of Korea to support growth soon," HSBC said.
Taiwan may improve
Meanwhile, HSBC's Taiwan PMI printed at 47.1 in December, marking the seventh-straight month below the 50 threshold, though up from 43.9 in November.
HSBC analysts there were signs Taiwan's manufacturing slump was beginning to bottom out. They cited the pace of deterioration easing for the second-straight month, and that manufacturing employment conditions had swung to expansion in December.
Still, they said that with Europe on the edge of recession and uncertainties over the economic outlook in China, its likely that policy makers in Taipei will be watching for signs of a second leg downward.
Stock markets were little cheered by the survey results, with South Korea's Kospi /zigman2/quotes/210598069/delayed KR:180721 +0.62% down 0.4% in the afternoon, while Taiwan's Taiex fell 1.7% in holiday-thinned trade.
China concerns
Adding to the downbeat picture for Asian manufacturers, an official Chinese survey of manufacturers released over the weekend showed conditions swinging to mild expansion in December, likely benefiting from a surge of manufacturing activity ahead of an extended period of holidays in January.
The official China PMI rose to 50.3 from 49.0 in November, besting the median forecast of 49.0 from a survey of economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires.
Analysts at Societe Generale saw little to cheer in the Chinese data, saying "the details looked less upbeat than the headline."
"Although there was obvious improvement across the board, all the major sub-indices, except for production, were still in contraction, albeit at slower paces," the analysts said.
The official PMI results were a bit better than an HSBC version, released Friday, which had the Chinese manufacturing sector still squarely in contraction at a reading of 48.7, though above November's 47.7. See report on HSBC China PMI for December.

Escape the cool weather and head to various parts of Africa to experience some fantastic wildlife, great diving and glorious sunshine. It may be the last chance to witness the wildebeest migration in Kenya and whale spot in South Africa.
Tanzania and its surrounding islands boast some of the best dive spots in the country, with the diving season just beginning, head to Mafia Island to experience some of the best in the Indian Ocean.
October is the last chance to enjoy the best of Mauritus' weather before those temperatures begin to soar. It is also the last but potentially the best time to whale watch off South Africa's cape. Embrace the final opportunity to witness one of nature's most spectacular sightings and head to the Masai Mara in Kenya for the wildebeest migration.
There are plenty of excellent safari destinations across Zambia and Tanzania at this time of year. Visit the Lower Zambezi, South Luangwa and Kafue parks where you can go on canoe or walking safaris; a chance to see the Hippo. Or why not head to Tanzania for prime wildlife sightings in Rhaua, Selous and Tarangire National Parks. Malawi still boasts warm and dry days for that all round great safari.
Go off land from Mozambique and go swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, located near the Inhambane Peninsula.

Kickstarter officially launches in Singapore and HK
KICKSTARTER, the New York-based platform which popularised crowdfunding, this week officially launched in Singapore and Hong Kong - making it easier for entrepreneurs and creators here to start projects from their home cities.
In a blog post on the Kickstarter website, Sean Leow, who helps support Kickstarter's international community, said that the localised platforms will birth more innovative projects from this part of the world for backers around the world to support.
He added: "Local backers will be able to take advantage of experiential rewards like attending a film screening or going to the opening night of a new restaurant."
There will not be a separate Kickstarter page for Singapore and Hong Kong; all projects will be listed on Kickstarter.com alongside other global projects. Projects from Singapore will be listed in Singapore dollars and those from Hong Kong in Hong Kong dollars. Backers in the US will see a conversion to US dollars.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
For now, users will not be able to select which currency in which to list their project. Kickstarter explained in a FAQ page: "There is a common misperception that USD projects do better, but we've looked into the data internally and have not found any evidence that projects listed in USD perform any better than projects listed in other currencies."
Among the newly-launched Kickstarter projects from Singapore are the GIY Stick, which reuses bottles and fabric to make any pot self-watering, and Hydra, a simple, automated indoor plant care system for both beginners and serious gardeners.
As at Thursday, GIY Stick has raised S$10,769 from 305 backers, with another 28 days to reach its S$20,000 target. Hydra has secured S$8,384 from 62 backers. It has 29 days to go to hit its goal of S$55,000.
For every successful project, Kickstarter will charge a 5 per cent fee; users will incur an additional payments processing fee of about 4-5 per cent. Kickstarter, unlike newer types of crowdfunding platforms such as FundedHere (a securities-based crowdfunding platform), does not allow projects that offer financial incentives like equity.
Mr Leow said that Kickstarter has been "overwhelmed by the passionate backer communities" in Singapore and Hong Kong, who have collectively pledged over 300,000 times to more than 40,000 global projects.
William Hooi, founder of not-for-profit association Singapore Makers, told The Business Times that Kickstarter's Singapore debut is a big thing. "Not only can we expect more bespoke products from Singapore, but also from South-east Asia. Proxies in Singapore will be able to help bespoke makers and designers from the region raise funding, with the hope of even reaching to the US market."

The grills are heating up, the temps are sky-high and the rosé is on limitless supply. Yep, it's Fourth of July, people. Whether you're planning on sitting in traffic on the way to Surf Lodge or simply enjoying a backyard BBQ, here's how to get into the festive spirit...
In case you didn't know, jeans originated from San Francisco — so it would be rude not to include some denim. And what better option for the hot summer than an easy denim dress? Star-spangled cowboy boots are definitely a strong vibe. Why, you ask? For two reasons: firstly, as we all know, cowboys are an iconic American symbol. Secondly, it just so happens the Western trend is everywhere ATM — see the runways (Burberry and Longchamp) if you need any proof. For the finishing touches, add some shades, hair clips and trusty hoops. Basically, this outfit is an American dream.

Cecil Agnew "Sonny" Thompson Jr., 88, a native and resident of Bay Minette, Alabama, died Nov. 4, 2019, at his home.
After graduating from Baldwin County High School in 1949, Sonny studied drama and music at Auburn University and Bob Jones University.
He served in the medical corps of the United States Air Force during the Korean War and received the National Defense Service Medal.
After his discharge from the service, he married Jimmie Lee Dillard and resided in Windermere, Florida, where he worked as a grower in the citrus industry. A professionally trained actor and singer, he became involved in community theater.
In the 1960s, Sonny moved to New York City where he performed in many theatrical productions both on and off Broadway. His vocals were heard in Miss America and Miss Alabama pageants.
He studied and sang with renowned vocalists and was a soloist with Sammy Kaye's Orchestra, one of the most famous groups of the Big Band Era. During this time he became personal friends with many well-known actors and musicians, including Judy Garland, Diana Ross and Angela Lansbury.
He was the cruise director of the French cruise ship the M.S. Renaissance in the 1970s. Onboard the ship he shared his musical talents and love of entertaining tourists from around the world. He held concerts in European, Caribbean and South American ports and organized receptions for Princess Grace of Monaco and Gen. Charles de Gaulle. He made many lifelong friends during his travels.
The love of family brought him home to Bay Minette where he cared for his mother until her death in 1981. Sonny then took his good taste and eye for design to a new venture in the antiques business and opened the first flea market on the Gulf Coast. He owned stores in Gatlinburg, Spanish Fort and Stapleton, where he sold antiques and estate items.
In later years, Sonny enjoyed a low-key lifestyle on the rivers of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. He was a talented chef, gardener, animal-lover, and had a true gift of hospitality. His home was the setting for many parties and family gatherings over the years.
The youngest of six siblings, he was devoted to his family and his many nieces and nephews.
He was active in the community and was a longtime member of the board of directors of the North Baldwin Infirmary Foundation. In 2019, he was honored as the first recipient of the board's Liz Duryea Distinguished Service Award.
Sonny had a generous spirit evidenced by his many contributions to civic, church and charitable organizations. He had a strong Christian faith and was active in the Stockton Presbyterian Church for many years, where he sang in the choir.
Sonny was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil Agnew Thompson Sr. and Jessie Rawls Lowery Thompson; brother, Albert Marina Thompson II; sisters, Evelyn Thompson Waters, Cecil Thompson Barnhill, Georgia Thompson Gause; nephew, Glenn Thompson Cook; and niece, Toni Thompson Turpen.

AAA vs. TNA: TripleMania XIX
Mexico City, Mexico (Palacio de los Deportes)
June 18, 2011
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
Following "TripleMania" I decided to sit down and recap the TNA vs. AAA bouts from the card since I am both the TNA Impact recapper and Lucha columnist here at WrestleView. For several months leading up to TripleMania TNA has declared war on AAA with repeated online promos directed at the company. To begin with the leaders of the top heel group in AAA (La Legion): Konnan & Dorian Roldan teased that Konnan did not support Dorian bringing TNA in to take over AAA, but when TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett finally showed up in a AAA ring the two revealed that they were on the same page and led to La Legion kicking El Zorro out of the group. This set up Zorro defending his belt against TNA's Jeff Jarrett. If you follow TNA then you also know that on the 06/16 episode of "Impact Wrestling" Jarrett lost a Parking Lot Brawl to Kurt Angle where the stipulation was that Jarrett would have to "move to Mexico." Just days later TripleMania took place.
The show opens up with the gorgeous TripleMania set being shown off with pyro and then we head into the first TNA-AAA matchup. They're using ht the 6-side ring tonight which TNA fans will remember I'm sure.
Relevos Atomicos Match (8-Person Tag Team Match)
The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky), Mickie James, & Sexy Star vs. Fabi Apache, Mari Apache, Cinthia Moreno, Lolita
Mari & Fabi Apache come in their ceremonial Native headgear. This is the first time the Beautiful People have been together since their breakup back in March (and AAA is ignoring the whole Winter-Angelina zombie storyline…THANK GOD). BP come out together to their theme music and their entrance together. This is the AAA debut for all 3 Knockouts I believe. Both have "Holler" across their chest and gorgeous backsides. The TNA stars have their entrance videos up on the screen as well. Mickie is looking as good as ever in those short shorts. Sexy Star enters from the backseat of a Cadillac Escalade in her entrance. Sexy high fives her TNA partners and then stares down the tecnicos (babyfaces, Fabi's team). The rudas/rudo (Team TNA & Sexy) attack the tecncios at the bell. They toss Fabi, Mari, and Lolita out to the floor leaving Cinthia in the ring with all 4 rudas. All 4 take turns kicking Cinthia and then BP hit a Double Leg Kick on her followed by a Double Elbow Drop. Fabi runs in to make the save but gets cut off by Sexy Star and she and Mickie beat Fabi down. Mickie chokes Fabi on the ropes and then Sexy hits Cinthia with a knee. BP whip Mari into the corner as she comes in and hit her with a Running Double Clothesline in the corner. Lolita runs in and attacks Mickie but she gets taken out quickly as well. Mickie and Sexy whip Lolita into a corner and Sexy follows up with a Running Back Elbow. Mickie then hits Lolita with a Snapmare Takeover out of the corner followed by a Sliding Dropkick from Sexy that sends Lolita out to the floor. The rudas are left in the ring as the tecnicos attempt to recover on the outside. Cinthia comes back in and Sexy immediately goes on the attack followed by Mickie. Mickie holds Cinthia while Sexy chops and kicks her. Mickie then lays in some kicks of her own. Mickie & Lolita stretch Cinthia in the corner and then toss her across the ring. Angelina comes in now and Snapmares Cinthia over followed by a kick to the back and then a Sliding Dropkick. Mari comes in and attacks Angelina but Velvet kicks her from behind.

She whips Mickie into the ropes and Cinthia hits an Armdrag followed by a dropkick from Lolita. The rudas bail out to the floor and the tecnicos stand tall now. After stalling the rudas come back to the ring and it looks like we're finally going to settle down into a tag match now. Mickie and Fabi start things out and Mickie goes for a chop but Fabi blocks it and chops Mickie. Fabi nails Mickie with big rights and then she whips Mickie into the corner and charges but Mickie hits her with a back elbow. Mickie uses the corner to lift herself up into the air and then wraps her legs around Fabi's head and hits the Mickiecanrana! Mickie climbs up top and dives off but Fabi sidesteps her. Fabi climbs up top and connects with a Missile Dropkick! Mickie rolls out to the floor and Sexy Star replaces her (remember in Lucha tags are NOT necessary, when one wrestler leaves the ring their partner can replace them). Lolita tags in as well. Sexy hits Lolita with a big Forearm and then whips her into the corner but Lolita springboards out of the corner with a nice Springboard Armdrag! Sexy attempts to answer with a chop but Lolita blocks it and grabs her hand. Lolita kicks Sexy and then springs to the top and connects with a Split Legged Springboard Armdrag! Sexy rolls out to the floor and this time Angelina replaces her. Mari comes in an as well. Mari lays into Angelina with kicks and slaps and then a Scoop Slam.

Lolita grabs Sexy and locks in a Guillotine Choke but BP come in and break it up. They double team Lolita and Angelina hangs her upside down in the corner. Velvet then hits a Running Dropkick to Lolita in the corner! Mari comes in and hits both with big Forearm Smashes. Sexy then cuts Mari off and whips her into the corner but Mari springs to the top. Sexy charges over and slaps Mari hard! Sexy then climbs up top with Mari and hits a Frankensteiner! Mickie tags in and hits a Leg Drop on Mari as well but then Fabi comes in and takes Mickie out with a dropkick as Mari rolls to the floor. Sexy comes back in and goes for a clothesline but Fabi ducks and then hits Sexy with a leg kick. Fabi then hits a Sitdown Powerbomb! The referee doesn't count for her though (it's heel referee Hijo de Tirantes who is aligned with La Legion)! On the outside Cinthia dives off the apron with a Seated Senton on Angelina! Mari then dives off the apron with a Somersault Senton onto BP & Cinthia! Lolita then hits a Top Congiro through the ropes onto all of them! Fabi and Mickie are left in the ring and Mickie attacks Fabi from behind with forearms. Mickie chokes Fabi on the ropes and then whips her into the ropes. Mickie leapfrogs Fabi and then rolls backwards and goes for a Monkey Flip but Fabi rolls over her. Mickie nicks back to her feet but then eats chops from Fabi. Fabi yanks on Mickie's hair and then Tirantes grabs her and starts pulling on Fabi's hair! He holds her for Mickie and she goes for the Mick Kick, but Fabi ducks and Mickie takes out the ref! Fabi then kicks Mickie and locks in a side headlock. I think Mickie breaks it by grabbing Fabi's damn crotch! Wow, that was kind of hot…Mickie then kicks Fabi and KISSES HER! REALLY HOT! Mickie follows up with the Mickie-DT! 1…2…3!
Winners: Beautiful People, Mickie, & Sexy Star via pinfall (Mickie-DT)
(1st off, either AAA told Mari to be easy on the TNA girls or Mari likes them because I fully expected to kill at least Velvet a couple of times in this match but she didn't. It was clunky at times but the girls worked hard and surprisingly well together despite none of them being in the ring with the TNA girls before. Mickie vs. Fabi could be a fun feud (especially since Fabi can actually take Mickie's finish properly which a lot of the Knockouts have failed to do other than Tara & Madison) as they went after each other after the match as well. **1/2)
In the back Konnan laughs about the Knockouts "bitch slapping" Mari & Fabi Apache. Jeff Jarrett says he came to TripleMania for 2 reasons: 1) to become the "Mega Champion" and 2) when it's all said and done AAA's initials will be replaced by "TNA." Konnan then starts a "TNA" chant with the TNA wrestlers including RVD.
AAA World Tag Team Championships
Steel Cage Match
"Gato Suicida" Extreme Tiger & "From The Heavens" Jack Evans (c) vs. Mr. Anderson & "The Monster" Abyss
TNA fans will probably recognize AAA's cage somewhat as well as it's a six-sided cage. The way to win this match is both members of one team have to escape. Mr. Anderson wrestled in a 3-Way for the AAA Title at last years Rey de Reyes event and Abyss tagged with Cibernetico at last years TripleMania. Abyss is the reigning TNA X-Division Champion and Anderson is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Either Mr. Anderson knows Spanish or had someone tell him how to say a few phrases because he did his usual TNA "MISTEEEER ANDERSON" entrance in Spanish. Neither Anderson or Abyss were Champions when this match was set. For some reason Abyss comes out to his old theme music rather than his new TNA theme. He's carrying a bag most likely filled with tacks. Tiger & Evans have been Tag Champions since March. Evans is also the AAA Cruiserweight Champion. Evans wrestled for TNA back in the Asylum Years when he was a part of Team Canada in the 2nd Americas X-Cup against Team Mexico. In this type of match last year TNA's Hernandez stole the show at TripleMania by diving off the light structure ABOVE the cage. Evans and Tiger go right at Team TNA at the bell! Mr. Anderson shoves Evans away and goes for a clothesline but Evans blocks it with his foot and then connects with a Roundhouse Kick! Abyss fights Tiger off and sits him up on the top rope for something but Evans jumps on Abyss' back and locks in a Sleeper! Abyss flings Evans off but Tiger dives off the top with a Missile Dropkick! Abyss doesn't go down though and attempts a double clothesline on Tiger & Evans but the duck and then the two Double Dropkick Anderson! Tiger hits a Dropkick Salto on Abyss sending him into the corner and then Evans follows up with a Cartwheel into a Back Elbow on Abyss in the corner. Evans then lifts a charging Tiger up into the air into a Dropkick on Abyss in the corner! Evans then dives off of Tiger's back with a Flying Double Knee Attack! Anderson charges at them but Tiger hits him with a Drop Toe Hold. Evans then rolls over Anderson's back and locks in a modified Chinlock holding Anderson's face up into the air so Tiger can hit a Sliding Dropkick to his face! Both Evans & Tiger attempt to escape the cage now but Abyss pulls them both down off the cage hard to the mat. Abyss grabs Tiger and Chokeslams him into the side of the cage and then Evans goes for a Wheelbarrow move but Abyss blocks it. Evans hits Abyss with a series of back elbows and then he comes off the ropes only to be Biel Thrown over Abyss' head into the ropes! Anderson is back up and he and Abyss beat on the tecnicos now. Abyss chokes Evans and Anderson chokes Tiger. Anderson takes his shirt off and chokes Evans with that now. The rudos have completely taken over now and just continue to beat down the smaller Tecnicos. Anderson hits a Scoop Slam on Evans and then he holds Abyss as Abyss goes for a clothesline. Tiger ducks and Abyss takes out Anderson! Abyss tries to clothesline Tiger again and Tiger ducks again and then attempts a Springboard Moonsault, but Abyss catches him in midair! He tries to lawn dart Tiger into the side of the cage but Tiger fights out and climbs up to the top of the cage! Tiger then climbs up onto the light scrtucture above the cage just like Hernandez! HE DIVES OFF THE LIGHT STRUCTURE WITH A DAMN CORKSCREW MOONSAULT ONTO ABYSS IN THE RING! Jack Evans then uses the side of the cage to spring himself off into a Tornado DDT on Anderson! Tiger dropkicks Abyss into the corner and then Tiger climbs up Abyss's back and to the top of the cage! Tiger climbs over and out of the cage to the floor! Tiger has escaped, leaving Evans alone against Abyss & Anderson! Evans turns around and realizes the numbers game. He fights off the rudos but the numbers get the better of him and they beat him down. Tiger roots his partner on from outside the cage but the rudos are taking Evans apart. Abyss throws Evans into the cage wall and then Anderson Catapults Evans into the cage wall! Abyss tells Anderson he can take care of Evans from here and then Anderson climbs up the cage and out leaving only Abyss and Evans in the ring. Abyss continues to punish Jack Evans in the ring and he lawn darts Evans into the cage wall and then continues to taunt the Mexican crowd. Evans tries to fight back with punches but Abyss just shrugs them off and throws Evans into the corner. Abyss charges at Evans but Evans uses the ropes to flip himself over Abyss! Evans then charges at Abyss lifts him up into the air! Evans lands on the top rope and then dives off with a Hurricanrana on Abyss! Evans hits Abyss with leg kicks and then a Spinning Back Kick. Evans hits the ropes and Abyss attempts a clothesline but Evans actually ducks it by backflipping under it! Evans then hits a Somersault Dropkick on Abyss! Evans hits a Standing Moonsault on Abyss! Evans thinks he's ready to escape now and starts climbing the cage but Anderson shoves Tiger into the cage while Evans is climbing over resulting in Evans crotching himself on the top of the cage! In the ring Abyss spreads out dozens of the thumbtacks on the mat and then climbs up to the top with Evans. He grabs Evans by the throat and sets up to Chokeslam him off the top of the cage but Evans fights it off and then he Sunset Flip SuperBombs Abyss off the top of the cage into the thumbtacks! Evans climbs up the cage and onto the light structure now and dives off with an INSANE PLANCHA ONTO ABYSS HARD! Damn, Abyss has taken some sick bumps in this one. Evans climbs up the cage again and this time he climbs up and over it and as he's coming down Mr. Anderson catches him on his shoulders so he can't touch the floor, but Extreme Tiger dropkicks Anderson in the back causing Anderson to drop Evans!
Winners & STILL Tag Champs: Jack Evans & Extreme Tiger via escaping the cage
(Their real goal here was to one up the match they had last year where Hernandez dove off the light structure and they did so with 3 huge spots (2 dives off the light structure and one off the cage). Early on they played off the big man vs. little man aspect very well with Evans & Tiger trying to take out the much bigger opponents with big moves and high spots. In the end Abyss taking Evans lightly and thinking he had it one bit him in the ass. Great match, ****. Either Evans OR Tiger would be great in the X-Division and this actually plays into Abyss' hatred for the X-Division. I hope they show at least clips of this match on Impact Wrestling).
AAA World Heavyweight Championship
El Zorro (c) vs. "King Of The Mountain" Jeff Jarrett w/Karen Angel
Jarrett actually throws Tamales out to the crowd before the match, pure GENIUS. Zorro wears a robe covered in the Mexican Flag's colors to the ring. Wow, Zorro looks unbelievably out of a shape here. I had read that was the case but didn't think it was this bad. He's wearing a t-shirt in the match and I'm guessing for good reason. Jarrett gets in Zorro's face at the bell and the two slap each other. They lockup and Jarrett connects with an Armdrag and then taunts Zorro with the strut. Jarrett gets Zorro in a Side Headlock and Zorro shoves him into the ropes only to eat a Shoulder Block. Zorro doesn't go down so Jarrett hits the ropes again and Zorro goes for a Hip Toss, but Jarrett blocks it and hits a Hip Toss of his own. Jarrett taunts Zorro again as well as the crowd. Jarrett kicks Zorro and tosses him into the corner. He slams Zorro's head into 3 different turnbuckles and then he attempts to whip Zorro into the ropes, but Zorro reverses it and connects with a Hip Toss. Zorro follows up with 2 Armdrags. Zorro then clotheslines Jarrett over the top rope and mocks Jarrett's strut. Out of shape or not, so far, so good for Zorro. He looks good so far in the match. Jarrett teases bailing on the match but comes back and breaks the 20-count of the referee. He bails out to the floor again and taunts the fans before grabbing Zorro's feet and pulling him out to the floor. Jarrett slams Zorro into the ring post and then rolls him back into the ring. Jarrett chops away at Zorro in the corner. Jarrett goes for another chop but Zorro ducks and lights Jarrett up with chops of his own! Zorro counts along with the fans everytime he chops Jarrett. He then attempts to whip Jarrett into the ropes but Jarrett reverses it and Karen trips Zorro. Jarrett then hits Zorro from behind. Jarrett dumps Zorro out to the floor and slams him into the guardrail. Some fans start throwing there blow up "thunder sticks" (that you slap together to make noise) at Jarrett. Jarrett rolls Zorro back into the ring and puts the boots to him. Jarrett chokes Zorro on the middle rope all the while taunting the crowd. Jarrett then hits a Body Guillotine on Zorro as he was draped over the middle rope. Jarrett chokes Zorro in the corner now and then drags him to the center of the ring but Zorro fights back with right hands only to get slammed to the mat by his hair by Jarrett. Jarrett whips Zorro into the ropes and goes for a backdrop but Zorro stops and tries to kick Jarrett. Jarrett catches his foot and trips him and then locks in the Figure-4! Zorro fights it and reverses the hold by rolling over! Jarrett reaches the ropes to break it. Jarrett then whips Zorro into the ropes and locks in a Sleeper. Zorro looks to be out but as the referee holds his hand up Zorro fights and gets back to his feet. He breaks the hold with back elbows and then he slams Jarrett into the turnbuckles. Zorro grabs the kendo stick but Jarrett pokes him in the eyes and then hits a Back Suplex! Both men are down now. They both get to their feet and exchange right hands with Zorro getting the better of Jarrett. Zorro picks up the kendo stick and whips Jarrett into the ropes and hits him with it repeatedly. This is AAA so it doesn't matter if the match isn't No DQ obviously. Karen distracts Zorro which allows Jarrett to get the AAA Title and nail Zorro with it! 1…2…NO Zorro kicks out! Jarrett goes to the floor and grabs a chair and goes to hit Zorro with it but the referee pulls it away. Wait, so it's cool to use the kendo stick but not a chair? Karen hands Jarrett some powder as Zorro picks up the chair. The referee takes the chair away from Zorro now and Jarrett goes to throw the powder in Zorro's face but Zorro slaps Jarrett's hands into his own face! Zorro rolls him up! 1…2…NO Jarrett kicks out! Zorro grabs Jarrett and attempts to whip him into the ropes but Jarrett reverses it and then goes for a backdrop, but Zorro Sunset Flips over him! Jarrett rolls through and locks in an Ankle Lock! Nice little homage to his feud with Angle there. Zorro fights the hold and rolls through it to counter. Jarrett charges at Zorro but Zorro drop toe holds and then locks in an Ankle Lock of his own! Jarrett fights to get to the ropes and Karen grabs his hands but Zorro pulls Jarrett back to the center and pulls Karen along with him! Zorro grabs Karen but the referee stops him and then tells Karen to get out of the ring but while the referee was messing with Karen, Jeff lays Zorro out with a guitar shot! Jarrett taunts the crowd again and finally covers Zorro, 1…2….NO ZORRO KICKS OUT! Karen tells Jeff to get the kendo stick and he obliges. Jeff hits Zorro with it repeatedly and then uses the kendo to hit him with a Sandman-like Stroke! 1…2…3! New Champ!
Winner & NEW AAA World Champ: Jeff Jarrett via pinfall (The Stroke aided with a kendo stick)
(Wow, that match was unbelievably slow and boring and it's like they took every screwy finish in the history of wrestling and crammed them all into one match. We had chairs, belt shots, kendo sticks, powder, and distracting the referee. Zorro looked gassed in several parts of this match which is a shame and honestly if you've seen the majority of his Title Matches you're probably not surprised. This didn't even come close to touching the suckfest that was Zorro-Charly Manson but it wasn't very good either. There has been rumors of an injury with Zorro and if that's the case then it explains why he is so out of shape but why the hell is he in the ring if that's the case? Zorro's title reign will likely go down as one of the worst in AAA's history which is another shame. **)
AAA Latin America Championship
Dr. Wagner Jr. w/Dr. Wagner III vs. "Whole F'N Show" Rob Van Dam
RVD comes out for this match draped in the American Flag and carrying a Steel Chair. I don't remember him wrestling in Mexico before but I'm sure he has. I believe this is his AAA debut though. Dr. Wagner is accompanied to the ring by his son Dr. Wagner III (or Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. whichever way you want to say it). He gets a traditional Mexican Musical entrance that was pretty cool, especially if AAA's sound was a lot better. This is for the newly created AAA Latin America Championship which there was no Tournament for. AAA just thought Wagner and RVD deserved the shot at it so they get it. A slight "TNA" chant actually starts before the match to my surprise. Should be interesting to see if RVD plays the rudo/heel here or if he wrestles the way he normally does. The commentators start a dueling RVD-USA and Wagner-Mexico chant as the two are being introduced. RVD gets in Wagner's face and Wagner shoves him. The two lockup and they stalemate. They lockup again and this time Wagner gets RVD in a side headlock. RVD shoves Wagener into the ropes and then does a split as Wagner charges at him so Wagner rolls over him. RVD then puts Wagner in a Waistlock but Wagner counters with an Armdrag! Wagner then goes for a Backsplash Senton but RVD rolls out of the way and then RVD goes for a Somersault Leg Drop but Wagner rolls out of the way! Wagner goes for a clothesline but RVD ducks and then RVD goes for a spinning heel kick but Wagner ducks it. Both go for front kicks at the same time and kick each other. They stalemate again. The two take turns posing for the crowd and obviously Wagner gets the better ovation. RVD doesn't seem to like this and gets in Wagner's face and does his "ROB VAN DAM" pose so Wagner kicks him in the leg repeatedly. Wagner then hits a Snapmare Takeover followed by a Sliding Dropkick that sends RVD out to the floor. Wagner sets up for some type of dive on the apron but RVD spin kicks Wagner's legs to trip him. RVD then goes back into the ring and hits a Slingshot Guillotine Leg Drop over the top onto the apron on Wagner! RVD climbs up on the apron and hits a Standing Moonsault off the apron onto Wagner on the floor! RVD hits Wagner with Forearms and then slams him into the guardrail. RVD springs onto the guardrail but Wagner shoves him into the crowd! Wagner climbs over the guardrail but eats a Superkick from RVD! Wagner is laid out, draped over the guardrail so RVD leaps off the guardrail with another Guillotine Leg Drop! RVD hits Wagner with more Forearms and then another Superkick. RVD tosses Wagner back into the ring and chokes him in the corner. RVD attempts to whip Wagner into the opposite corner but Wagner reverses it. Wagner then charges at RVD but RVD hits him with a back elbow and then goes for a springboard move and slips. Wagner then crotches him and hangs him upside down in the corner in the Tree of Woe. Wagner picks up a chair and puts it over RVD's face and dropkicks it into his face! 1…2…NO RVD kicks out! That count was slow as hell. Wagner picks RVD up and locks in a Hammerlock and then he rolls RVD over into a crazy submission hold called La Escalera (which is pretty much an Octopus while laying on the mat)! RVD fights and gets his leg on the bottom rope to break the hold. Wagner hits RVD with several leg kicks and then the two exchange forearm smashes in the center of the ring. Wagner gets the better of the exchange and then tries to throw RVD into a corner but RVD blocks it with his foot and then kicks Wagner in the face! RVD follows up with Rolling Thunder! 1…2…NO Wagner kicks out! Another painfully slow count. RVD picks up the chair and Baseball Slide Dropkicks it into Wagner's face in the corner. 1…2…NO Wagner kicks out again! Wagner comes back with rights and then he blocks a kick from RVD and hits a Dragonscrew Legwhip! He then hits a 2nd one! That one look like RVD's leg actually got caught under Wagner when he hit it too. Wagner hits the ropes but RVD catches him on his shoulders and connects with a Rolling Firemans Slam! RVD then springs to the top and hits a Diving Moonsault! 1…2…NO Wagner kicks out! RVD hits a Stepover Heel Kick on Wagner and then grabs the chair again and lays it over Wagner's body. RVD climbs up top and dives off with the 5-Star Frog Splash! That's it! 1…2…NO Wagner kicks out! RVD hits Wagner with the chair in the sternum and then lays it on Wagner's body and kicks it into him. He then climbs up top from the opposite corner and sets up for the Van Terminator but Wagner gets to his feet and walks towards RVD pretty much waiting for RVD to dive off with the Diving Back Kick. That was the worst part of the match thus far, just poorly done. 1…2…NO Wagner kicks out! RVD goes for the Rolling Monkey Flip but Wagner side steps him and then hits an uppercut and climbs up top with RVD. Wagner dives off with a kind of modified Flatliner into the chair! Wagner gets the crowd behind him and then hits the Wagner Driver! 1…2…NO RVD kicks out! RVD kicked out of the Wagner Driver! RVD rolls out to the apron but Wagner grabs him and goes to slam him into the corner but RVD blocks it with his foot and then attempts to slam Wagner into the corner but Wagner blocks it and slams RVD into the corner. Wagner grabs RVD by the hair but RVD slaps his hands away and hits a Shoulderblock through the ropes. RVD goes for a 2nd one but Wagner nails him with a knee to the head and then he hangs RVD up in the ropes and hits a Hanging DDT onto the chair! 1…2………….3 (yeah I exaggerated that slow as count)!
Winner & the 1st EVER Latin America Champ: Wagner via pinfall (Hanging DDT)
(The worst part of this match? The damn awful slow counts by the referee. The match was fun but things like RVD kicking out of the Wagner Driver and the eventual finish would look so much better if the count was decent. This happens a lot in Lucha, mainly with older referees especially Pepe Casas and Tirantes Sr. Anyway the match was pretty good other than a few sloppy spots and for two guys that have never worked together they did well. Wagner seems to always work well in big matches regardless. ***1/2)
Overall this was a nice start to the AAA vs. TNA feud with them going 2-2 and both sides capturing gold. None of these matches were the best on the card (for that see El Mesias vs. L.A. Park) but some good action overall. This should be fun to see where this whole feud goes and if it spills over into TNA TV.

A Blizzard support forum agent went to task to tell Overwatch players that there has not been a single case in which players receiving a duplicate item from a loot box were denied credits.
An Overwatch player wrote on the official Overwatch forums they encountered a number of times where they would receive items they already own in Overwatch, but the game didn't change them into credits as is supposed to happen. A support forum agent Drakuloth made a thorough reply Thursday, looking into the issues and saying that there is no detected bug so far.
"We still have no confirmed cases of situations where a duplicate was received and credits were not granted," Drakuloth wrote. "Thus far, it's all been misremembering the details. Keep in mind that there are about 3,000 unlockable items in the game right now. It's extremely hard (I would go so far as to say impossible for most of us) for our minds to keep track of that many things at once, especially when we consider that some items are only available for some characters, and some are available for all characters. Fortunately, we've got logs on our end that can confirm this."
The agent then addressed some of the incidents where players claimed to have endured that sort of bug, explaining that they didn't get duplicates based on the in-game logs, but rather a mix of misunderstandings and faulty player memory. It is possible a bug like that could exist, though, so it's important to let Blizzard know so any issues can be probed.
"We're still investigating the possibility of a display issue causing these not to show up in the collection properly, but everything I have on my end still points to this just being our brains expecting something incorrect and receiving something else, then worrying about the progress," the agent continued. "Again, remember that this is a LOT to keep track of for people, and most of us don't think about things we aren't specifically hunting until we receive them (such as a particular skin for Soldier that we really like)."

If you have been thinking of starting a business or
already have one running, you need to be aware that
a business plan is totally essential to your success.
A good marketing plan is crucial to any business, but
especially to a business just starting out. Equally
important is a new business owner who wants to begin
their business with an ethical, positive attitude, an
attainable goal, and the means to reach it.
So how do you do it?
• Have a good quality product or service. This may
seem obvious to many but it can never become too
important. If the quality is above average and doesn't
wane, customers will come to know that and reward that
business with their faithful repeat visits.
• Put your customers first. If the customer is made to
special, and they can see that the business is
serious in serving them, they will continue to return
and bring friends with them.
• Determine, find, and then speak to your targeted
market. Blanket advertising is minimal in reaching
your targeted customer base and one of the most
expensive advertising techniques. Stay within your
niche for the most effective marketing results.
• Use business cards, flyers, newsletters, and
promotional literature with your face-to-face
customers always. Customers won't remember to tell
others about your product if they can't remember what
was special about it or where they got it.
• Listen and respond to your customers promptly.
Remedy any complaint immediately to satisfy the
customer. If there are numerous complaints regarding
the same product or service, the business may need to
reevaluate their product or method. Negative word of
mouth advertising can be extremely expensive.
A business marketing plan will give you a plan of action to
closely follow in attaining your business and financial

September 7, 2011 by dailybolusoflr
ST elevation in Lead aVR
This lead is an often unrecognized location to look for ST elevation.
- ST elevation of greater than 0.5mm in lead aVR is associated with left main disease or triple vessel disease.
- Several studies have looked at the predictive value and sensitivity of this finding
- Sensitivity of this finding in predicting left main obstruction is around 80%
- The importance of this finding in patients with concern for ACS is related to the following:
- A high likelihood that CABG will be the treatment of choice (this is important as STEMI in patients with left main disease is associated with significant morbidity if treated with lytics as they often need urgent CABG and have an increased complication rate after recent fibrinolysis)
- A number of studies show that this group of patients with STE in lead aVR have significant in -hospital mortality and higher 90 day adverse outcome

A desk usually serves as a space for work or a place to study, so it is important to make it an inspiring space in order to boost productivity.This ideabook features five tips for decorating a desk. However, before you start decorating your desk, make sure you have found a way to store away or organize the clutter that is on your desk. Otherwise the decorations will only add more clutter to your desk, and a cluttered desk doesn't offer the best motivation.
Let's browse through some of these tips for decorating the desk and get some fresh ideas and inspiration. We hope these creative ideas will help to create a more productive working environment for you at your desk.
Spending time in a garden can help bring clarity to your mind. On the other hand, sitting at your desk with a wall in front of you, and nothing inspiring around you is one way to demotivate yourself. These brilliant little mini gardens called terrariums are an excellent way to bring a bit of green to your desk.
Terrariums are low maintenance as you don't have to water them often or do much at all. In fact, they will do more for you then what you can do for them.
This classic desk globe is one of those traditional decorations for the desk that never grows old. No matter how old you are, we all still play the game of spinning the globe and placing our fingers on a spot just to see on which part of the world it landed.
Games aside, the globe gives a sense of seriousness to the desk, and aptly so, as there's work to be done on the desk. It also gives the desk a bit of an old world charm, creating a cozy feeling of familiarity.
We picked out this
functional desk decoration because sometimes you just need a helping hand on your work desk. Other than providing moral support, this artistic helping hand can be used as a paperweight, or to hold a pen, or simply to give you something to fiddle around with while you do your work.
This wooden hand is from Connox, an online shop based in Germany.
So all work and no play is no fun. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that fun can boost work productivity, so why not. These little people can also help you with a little exercise to quiet your mind if you try to stack them up and balance them. This exercise in balance can help to clear your mind and help you concentrate on your work better.
Browse through these decorations and accessories here on homify for more ideas.
Personalize your desk by adding photo frames with good memories to create an inspiring environment for you to work in. Every now and then we sometimes need a sweet little reminder of why we work.
This beach themed photo frame is reminiscent of beach holidays and good times with its rustic wood, antique finish, and embellishments of sea shells, bringing the sun, sea, and sand to your desk. Good vibes means more productivity!

Body found in Stamford Harbor; identified as missing man
STAMFORD — The body of a man who had been missing since Feb. 14 was found washed up on the shore of a private beach behind a Shippan Point home on Monday.
Stamford police identified the body as Jorge Simon, 27, who had disappeared on Valentine's Day in the area of Stillwater Avenue and Finney Lane. Landscapers working on the Shippan Point home on Rogers Road found the body at about 1 p.m. Monday, according to Stamford Police.
Simon was fully clothed when found and had identification on him.
The Hour previously reported that Simon, who was Guatemalan and lived on Stillwater Place in Stamford, worked as a roofer.
An autopsy will be performed Tuesday.
"Today, we express our condolences to the Simon family who, along with the police, valiantly attempted to search for Simon with friends and families from the Guatemalan community," read a statement from the Stamford Police Department.
Stamford Police hope the autopsy will help narrow the investigation about how Simon entered the water.
Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact Stamford police at (203) 977-4444. All information will be kept confidential.

How to Read a Nutrition Facts Label
Last week we shared the importance of reading a Nutrition Facts label top to bottom. While grazing the Nutritional Facts label is a good start, truly understanding and comprehending the information is where you will reap the rewards.
In case you missed last week's blog it can be read here.
One mission of The Bennett Foundation is to improve the health and well-being of children and their families. We provide to you, a quick guide to help you digest the often-misleading information, and what to look for but also avoid. Starting from the top.
Serving size: One example webmd.com uses is Pop-Tarts, for instance, two come in one package. The label says one serving is 200 calories. The catch is that's for "one pastry." Remember this number when reading the rest of the label.
Calories: The number of calories provided is per serving, not the whole package. See the serving size prior to checking the calories.
Total fat: Look for foods low in saturated and trans-fat. Good fats that you should eat are avocados, fish, nuts, and dark chocolate.
Cholesterol: Did you know cholesterol was only found in animal products? Vegetables and other plant-based foods should feature regularly in a diet to lower cholesterol.
Sodium: The recommended amount of sodium is 2,300 milligrams per day. As stated in last week's blog, excess sodium can increase blood pressure in addition to the risk of stroke and heart failure. Try to avoid frozen foods as they can contain upwards of 1,000 grams of sodium per serving.
Total Carbohydrate:
- Fiber: Research shows the average person does not consume enough fiber per day. Choose foods with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving as 35 grams of fiber per day should be the goal. Below are some good examples of foods high in fiber:
- Sugar: Choose foods that contain less than 10 grams of sugar per serving. It should be noted, if sugar is the first ingredient listed in the ingredient list, the product most likely has too much sugar.
Protein: Protein is key for building & repairing muscle, hair, nails, and bones. Look for foods like chicken, beef, eggs, and quinoa as a source. Active people may require more of this!
Vitamins: The more, the merrier. Look for high in vitamins A and C, minerals (calcium and iron) and fiber.
% Daily Value (DV): This is the recommended levels of nutrients for a person consuming 2,000 calories per day. A general rule of thumb is that 5% or less of a value is considered low, 20% or more is considered high.
Your dieting goals don't have to be an overnight transition. Start with baby steps, make it a goal to look for foods high in fiber and low in sodium!
In our blog next week, we will share how Macklemore and Michael Bennett teamed up to distribute a special book to the Seattle Public Schools.

Rachel Simmons to visit Columbus
Please save the date for JewishColumbus Women's Philanthropy winter event on Thursday, December 5th.
Rachel Simmons has been researching young women for two decades. Her research shows that girl competence does not equal girl confidence—nor does it equal happiness, resilience, or self-worth. Backed by vivid case studies, Rachel warns that we have raised a generation of young woman so focused on achieving that they avoid healthy risks, overthink setbacks, and suffer from impostor syndrome, believing they are frauds. As they spend more time projecting an image of effortless perfection on social media, these girls are prone to withdraw from the essential relationships that offer solace and support and bolster self-esteem.
Her current book, Enough As She Is, offers a clear understanding of this devastating problem and provides practical parenting advice—including teaching girls self-compassion as an alternative to self-criticism, how to manage overthinking, resist the constant urge to compare themselves to peers, take healthy risks, navigate toxic elements of social media, prioritize self-care, and seek support when they need it. Enough As She Is sounds an alarm to parents and educators, arguing that young women can do more than survive adolescence. They can thrive. Enough As She Is shows us how.
This event is in partnership with The Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus.

The Weekly Psalter (XVIII)
CHAPTER XVIII. In What Order the Psalms Are to Be Said
24 Feb. 25 June. 25 Oct.
The order of psalmody for the Day-Hours being now arranged, let all the remaining 25 Psalms be equally distributed among the seven Night Offices, dividing the longer Psalms among them, and assigning twelve to each night. Above all, we recommend that if this arrangement of the Psalms be displeasing to anyone, he should, if he think fit, order it otherwise; taking care in any case that the whole Psalter of a hundred and fifty Psalms be recited every week, and always begun afresh at the Night Office on Sunday. For those monks would shew themselves very slothful in the divine service who said in the course of a week less than the entire Psalter, with the usual canticles; since we read that our holy fathers resolutely performed in a single day what I pray we tepid monks may achieve in a whole week.
With this section of Chapter XVIII, our father Saint Benedict completes his distribution of the 150 psalms over the course of the week. This being done, he shows his profound humility and reasonableness by allowing for a different arrangement of the psalms, but under one condition only: that the whole Psalter of a hundred and fifty Psalms be recited every week, and always begun afresh at the Night Office on Sunday. So clear is Saint Benedict on this particular point, that one cannot depart from the principle of the recitation of the whole Psalter of one hundred and fifty psalms over the week, without stepping outside the margins of the Holy Rule. The distribution of the Psalter over one week is one of the very few non-negotiables laid down by Saint Benedict.
Why is Saint Benedict so insistent on this principle? He explains: "Those monks would shew themselves very slothful in the divine service who said in the course of a week less than the entire Psalter, with the usual canticles; since we read that our holy fathers resolutely performed in a single day what I pray we tepid monks may achieve in a whole week." It is clear, then, that Benedictines are bound to pray the Psalter in its entirety weekly. One can hardly contest a principle so clearly laid down.
This being said, in our monastery's ten years of existence, we have learned, and sometimes learned rather painfully, that everything cannot be undertaken all at once. Building the full liturgical life of a monastery is like laying the foundations of an edifice and, then, slowly and carefully building the walls, cementing in one stone at a time until, the walls having reached their full height, it becomes possible to construct the roof and cover it with tiles. In the first years, we attempted to carry out the full choral servitutus pensum [obligation of divine service], and did so with energy and determination. One of the monastery's oldest friends, Dr Tracy Loper, used to rise early and, before going off to his medical practice, join us at 5:00 a.m. for the recitation of Matins.
After some years, given the frequent occurrences of illness, the challenges of life in a new climate, and the growing acceptance of our human limitations, I found it necessary to suspend the Night Office for a time, and this in accord with the provisions of our Declarations and Statutes, bearing in mind, as Saint Benedict says, the discretion of holy Jacob, when he said "If I cause my flocks to be overdriven, they will all perish in one day." At no time may an abbot put aside Saint Benedict's injunction to "temper all things, that the strong may have something to strive after, and the weak nothing at which to take alarm." An abbot may, at certain seasons and hours of his monastery's life, be obliged to suspend observances that are, at least momentarily, beyond what the brethren can reasonably undertake. He does this, however, without losing sight of the integral observance and of the full servitutis pensum, which remain the ideal towards which we are constantly progressing.
The day is fast approaching when we will add to the construction of our monastery the regular celebration of the Night Office. Some of you, I know, are anxious about this, fearing that it will be altogether beyond your strength. A few of you have come to me to express your apprehensions concerning this. Fear not. God who asks this work of us will give us the strength to undertake it and to persevere in carrying it out. You know the words of the prophet:
Strengthen ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees. Say to the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you. Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness. And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwelt before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush. And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that fools shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor shall any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered. And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. (Isaias 35:3–10)
I shall always follow the wise advice of the Father Abbot who visited us from France some years ago. When I asked his counsel with regard to giving dispensations from choir, he was quick to reply that such dispensations should be given generously and as needed, lest any brother fall into weariness or discouragement. At the same time, I am bound to encourage a manly generosity and the spirit of sacrifice that manifests itself chiefly in . . . getting out of bed for Matins! You will all discover, each one for himself, that in spite of the hardship of rising for Matins or, perhaps, because of it, there are graces given at this Hour that are given at no other time.
You will taste and see! Wonderful benefits accrue from the weekly repetition of the Psalter: the psalms become familiar, sometimes to the point of being memorised; the taste of them lingers for a long time on the palate of the soul; they become the ground of an authentic Christian contemplation, for by them, the prayer of Christ passes into us, and we pass into His prayer to the Father. Once the Night Office is firmly in place, we shall begin increasing the hours of adoration. But this, dear sons, will be the subject of another chapter.
