The peer-reviewed journal evaluation system is used to avoid bias in the evaluation process. Reviewers do not know the identity of the author and the author does not know the identity of the reviewer. In this way it is possible to evaluate the scientific content without falling into any kind of bias.
All reviews must be objective, clear and with arguments. There can never be personal criticism of the author.
Empirical articles should contain procedures and calculations within it. In scientific publications we do not accept inaccurate or fraudulent calculations and this will be considered a violation of the ethical code, and the non-publication of the article. For this reason, the data must always be in the article next to its sources in order to be easily replicated for other investigations.
Any error detected by the author or a third party must be reported to the publisher. The author will have to retract or correct the article as briefly as possible.
The article must be original and must not be published in other journals. In addition, it must contain correctly quoted all sources of information in order to verify that there is no plagiarism. Non-originality and plagiarism will mean a violation of the ethical code, which will lead to non-publication of the article.
Authors must cite all the publications that have been relevant to the investigation of their article. All private or confidential information may not be published unless explicit permission is obtained from the source.
The author of the article will be those who, besides the author, have made significant contributions in the investigation. All other contributions will appear in collaborations and acknowledgments.
Conflicts of interest should be communicated to the publisher as soon as possible, so it is recommended to attach this information in the cover letter when sending the article.
Editorial team/reviewers/editor can not disclose any information about the articles received by the journal, just to the people of the editorial team who have access, reviewers and the editor.

When and Where: October 18, 2017 – Manchester, N.H. (Larkin Field)
Score: No. 4 Saint Anselm College 4, Southern New Hampshire University 3
Records: SNHU 5-9 (2-8 Northeast-10 Conference), No. 4 Saint Anselm 14-1 (8-1 Northeast-10 Conference)
Freshman Hélène Servais (Brussels, Belgium) scored a pair of goals and junior Melanie Rennie (Madison, Conn.) stopped 11 shots, but a penalty corner goal with no time remaining in overtime propelled fourth-ranked Saint Anselm College past Southern New Hampshire University, 4-3, in Northeast-10 Conference field hockey action on Larkin Field Wednesday.
Following a scoreless 15 minutes of overtime, Saint Anselm's Erin Collins set up over the ball to insert it for a penalty corner with time having expired. With a defensive clear standing between Southern New Hampshire and a second overtime period, Mia Vecchione would receive the ball, dodge a Penmen defender and throw a shot toward the right post that was tipped in by Michelle Lemelin to lift the Hawks to victory.
Saint Anselm held a 22-5 advantage in shots, including 7-0 in the extra session.
Southern New Hampshire drew first blood just 8:31 into the contest when junior Lindsey Poirier (So. Berwick, Maine) pushed the ball ahead to sophomore Laura van der Doorn (Bevervijk, The Netherlands), who turned, carried the ball into the circle and fired a shot into the top-right corner of the cage to make it 1-0.
Saint Anselm would eventually answer just 4:33 before the halftime break when Hannah Friend deflected in a shot from the left side of the arc by Leika Scott, following a penalty corner.
The visitors would go in front 6:10 into the second half on another Friend goal. Emma Kincaid would take an initial stop from the left side of the arc that was stopped by Rennie, but Friend was there to pop the ball into the back of the cage and put Saint Anselm up, 2-1.
SNHU would gain the equalizer early in the 51st minute, as Servais received a feed from van der Doorn and sent a reverse-stick shot into the right corner of the cage to even the match, 2-2.
Servais struck again midway through the 60th minute to put the Penmen on top, 3-2, when she collected the penalty corner insert from senior Amaris Taylor (Tulsa, Okla.) and rifled a shot into the right side of the cage, beating Saint Anselm goalkeeper Julia Hand.
Saint Anselm would level the score, 3-3, exactly four minutes later when Kincaid pushed the ball out of a scrum in front and Friend put it past Rennie and into the cage with just 6:25 on the clock in regulation.
- With the loss, Southern New Hampshire is officially eliminated from Northeast-10 Championship contention.
-This marked the final match on Larkin Field for Taylor, Mikaela Gauvain (Salem, N.H.), Erin Frost (E. Andover, N.H.), Ashley Abad (Goffstown, N.H.) and Alexis Soucy (Windsor, Maine).
Up Next:
The Penmen return to action Saturday, Oct. 21 (1 p.m.) when they take on the University of New Haven.

I am enjoying doing these, using a transfer pencil and copying the kids drawings to embroider. Mum was here for Christmas so I got busy and did this for her to take home to save posting it. Never in my life have I been this organised in advance for a birthday gift. She is so excited she can't wait to get home and hang it on her wall. I should make her wait until February - but of course that won't happen. Happy Birthday Mum xx

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Gov. Nikki Haley has been cleared of charges she violated ethics laws while a member of the South Carolina House.
The House Ethics Committee voted 5-1 Wednesday to dismiss all charges against the governor, following an investigation of more than a month.
The panel voted that there was a reason to look into the allegations. But the committee said there is not enough evidence to conclude Haley violated ethics rules when she represented Lexington County in the House.

I usually try to avoid hitting people with my car, like, I really try not to run people over. Which is why whenever I do hit people with my car I get really upset, because they mess up my car! I'm so glad Kimberley Davis feels the same way. During an interview after she mowed down a cyclist she made an heartfelt case for herself:
"I just don't care because I've already been through a lot of bullshit and my car is like pretty expensive and now I have to fix it," ... "I'm kind of pissed off that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I don't agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn't on my phone when I hit the cyclist."
|Everyone looks at least "half attractive" in a grainy, cropped selfie.
"I don't agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn't on my phone when I hit the cyclist."
Which basically means that if she was texting she would have never hit the cyclist. DAMN! If only she'd been on her phone, some poor biker wouldn't have a fractured spine. Anyway she's really upset now, and rightfully so since her license has been suspended for 10 months. Ouch! That hurts more than spending three months in the hospital! Well, best of luck to Ms. Davis. Maybe she'll try cycling during her lapse in license status?
Meanwhile, on the correct side of the world, someone has decided to map all of the bike crashes in Los Angeles in 2012. Apparently there were 2,043 reported accidents in 2012. That's over 5 bike accidents every day. For a place the size of L.A. that's not too bad, but it's still pretty crappy. I was also surprised that Ventura Blvd. wasn't in the top 10 considering it's the road with the most assholes per mile. It's going to be interesting to see if there's any decrease in bicycle accidents over the years after the "Great Streets Program" is finally completed.
The Great Streets program actually covers some of the most accident prone streets in L.A. Starting with Van Nuys Boulevard, Figueroa Street, and Crenshaw Boulevard. Coincidentally these are all streets where I hardly feel safe even in my little pickup truck, riding a bike there can get even more sketchy. So I think it's OK to get a little excited when the Mayor of L.A. says:
"[w]e'll saturate your street with services. We'll make your street accessible to pedestrians, wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles–not just cars. We'll create an environment where new neighborhood businesses can flourish. We'll pave the streets and make them green streets — clean and lush with plant life, local art, and people-focused plazas." (Via Streetsblog)
It's also worth noting that Mayor Garcetti will probably piss people off along the way. Improving streets doesn't always make everyone happy, especially when it means people might not have as much parking and protected bike lanes may lead to less lanes for cars. Which may lead many to question why people even need protected bike lanes.
To which I'll respond with this:
|This is why it's a good idea to have protected bike lanes.

Last week I braved the packed house at Magnet, the men's health center in the Castro, to attend a powerful reading by contributors to the anthology My Diva: 65 Gay Men on the Women Who Inspire Them.
For culture vultures like me, My Diva is a thrill to behold. Edited by poet and fiction writer Michael Montlack, the book includes clever, urbane, campy, and ernest essays about some of my favorite pop culture icons. Encomiums include Grace Paley by Mark Doty, Margaret Cho by Kenji Oshima, and Eartha Kitt by D. A. Powell.
Honestly, there's an embarrassment of riches here, and some of the best essays are about lesser-known women or by emerging authors. One of my favorite essays, which jerked tears and titters during the reading last week and earned special notice from queer theory legend Camille Paglia, is "Auntie Mame," by Lewis DeSimone. The author (who's reading more of his own work next Tuesday at the Harvey Milk Branch of the SF Public Library at 7 p.m along with Paul Hufstedler and Donny Lobree) mixes insightful film commentary with poignant self-revelation and sissy-boy memoir to create an essay that stands out and stands on its own, even as it fits nicely with the book's theme.
Another favorite essay of mine is "Wendy Waldman" by fiction author Paul Lisicky, mainly because Waldman is a wonderful songwriter, redolent of Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell, whose fame hasn't risen to her '70s contemporaries' levels, despite having written or cowritten such gems as "Mad Mad Me" (Maria Muldaur), "Pirate Ships" (Judy Collins, The Cure), "Save The Best for Last" (Vanessa Williams), and several Linda Ronstadt numbers.
If My Diva succeeds in shining light on hidden gems, my one complaint—the complaint at every reading, says Montlack—is that too many great divas have been left out. Among the refusniks I most miss are Joni Mitchell, Judy Garland, Blossom Dearie, and Judy Holliday. Luckily, the book has been such a success already that a sequel may be just a year or two away. For now, Montlack, who celebrates his birthday this weekend in San Francisco, is busy promoting the first edition, as well as entertaining the idea of publishing a book of companion poems about the 65 divas, all written by the essay authors (most of whom are distinguished poets).
Montlack began this labor of love because of his devotion to hipster queen Stevie Nicks—not a bad way to start. Who's your favorite diva?

Underrated #4
Michael Tonge
New Leeds United loanee Michael Tonge's career could be argued to have being somewhat of an anticlimax. After getting promoted out of the championship under the stewardship a certain Neil Warnock at the expense of his current employers, Sheffield United's stay In the promised land was short lived. But the same can not be said about Tonge's. Relegation from the Premier League and failure to achieve an instantaneous return, opened the door for a transfer to now Premier League survivors, Stoke City. It probably wasn't how he envisaged being a Premier League player.
In the seven years he stayed at Bramall Lane, he made 262 appearances, scoring 21 goals in the process, not half bad for a midfielder. And it was statistics like these that attracted the likes of Stoke City, and when they came calling, it was too good an offer to turn down. Tonge signed for the Potters on August transfer deadline day 2008, in a deal worth around £2 million. He made his debut in the first game after the international break against Everton, but Tonge failed to establish himself as a regular Premier League player in the Stoke side, and went on to make only 9 more appearances that season.
He was rated quite highly too, Stoke aren't known for splashing the cash on just anyone, so they must have meant it when they thought he could be a real quality player for them. But his City career began to dwindle away, leading to loan spells at Derby County and Preston North End back in The Championship. He eventually developed a foothold in the team in their Europa League campaign in the 2011/12 season, making his European debut in the 1-0 play-off victory against FC Thun. But he was left out of Stoke's squads for the Premier League and Europa League, restricting him only to domestic cup and reserve games.
In January 2012, knowing his Potters career was pretty much over, he left to join Barnsley on loan until the end of the 2011-12 season, making a total of 10 appearances without scoring a goal. He was again left out of Stoke Premier League squad, which invited his former manager and Leeds United to come calling. He signed a deal which sees him stay at Leeds until December 2012. So far this season for Leeds he has been played across the midfield, in his favoured central midfield, partnering Rodolph Austin, and also out on the left wing. He scored his first goal for Leeds in their 3-2 away win at Bristol City.
So far judging by his Leeds performances, it's hard to see why he hasn't been given more of a chance to prove himself at Stoke. He's been the unsung hero in the Leeds team since his arrival, controlling the ball and tempo of play in midfield, and also allowing Austin to press forward while he stays back himself. To say he hasn't played much football in the last couple of years, he's come in and coped very well at Leeds, when many might have thought that his lack of action may have effected his ability to play. But Warnock knows him better than that, and giving him a debut against a very strong Cardiff City team emphasised that. It might be a bit early to say 'sign him up' permanently, but if he keeps showing the same positive signs he's shown Leeds fans so far, it might well happen knowing Neil Warnock and his affiliation with former players.
Ryan is an IT professional by trade and bases all of his football knowledge off of the Premier League, Chelsea and Football Manager.

Where has my song gone?
Exploring the Secret Place a worship experience art piece by Jimmy Canali
And then we forgot God...
Straying away is a moment at a time...
Well, we just nudged away... We just nudged a thought away. Well, actually, some time has passed. Some time indeed... Our lives spent in worry in fretting.
And 15 minutes a day? Well that is an investment in eternity... The quiet time seems to turn to a few songs in the morning and a prayer. Our spiritual walk dwindles. Flames flicker in blindness to what once was...
Our worship can become just a feeling. An emotional movement which has pulled us away from actual intimacy. We hear the same songs as last Sunday service... We find solace in repetition. Sometimes it is like we are not magnifying the goodness of God. We are not enraptured in Him with songs, hymns, and spiritual songs. We do not lose ourselves in Him, find ourselves again, and then dance for joy within! Where the joy resonates, where strength erupts, is song. The song of our day walking with our Savior, who is watching over us, and all that concerns us.
And why do we give Him a song sung a thousand times? Why breathe then? Songs have lost their 'pulp'. When at a time we would sing in a basking Presence of Glory! Now we are given three separate songs without the hunger and without the thirst.
The difference between entertainment and enraptured
Songs which draw the Presence of God are longer than normal. They have waves. They involve us at different levels, often following the initiation of the Holy Spirit. They are never the same. Songs which may start slow, enter fast and may also roller coast through our emotions. They are not feeling guided, but challenge us to dance against how we feel, walk by our faith and dismiss doubt.
Songs which can bring a strong anointing, healing, and even God's Glory and Presence are not shaped to fit one container. They are to glorify God, draw us near to Him, and deposit in us something for us to have as we depart to our day.
A worship leader benefits from watching the congregation and God at the same time. Without those two simultaneous perceptions, most of the crowd will draw into entertainment and the corporate anointing will diffuse.
To welcome God in, to make angels dance, for His Spirit to linger, to find again His peace which the world lacks, to worship and cast out cares. To know Him and to feel Him near, smiling... God.
The Lord of the dance. He is a song away.
Hymns, songs, spiritual songs.
Deep worship is what brings healing from the Holy Spirit. It lifts our burdens and draws us into Him. Consistent worship at deep levels enhances our awareness of God's still small Voice. Like the earthquake felt by Elijah, God was not in it. Praise brought down walls. Praise opened prison doors. Praise will be found in Revelations drawing the two witnesses up to heaven. Praise confuses the enemy, opens heaven to drop down blessing. In praise, God inhabits, angels dance, joy is released, our problems are magnified less and God is magnified.
The power of hymns strengthened the backs of slaves, gives us the endurance to get through our work day. A simple song can quiet the soul. A song frees us. A song can carry us through pain. It can humble us under God's Hand bringing exaltation, liberation, fire, freedom, life.
Sing unto the Lord a new song!
Quieting the soul through a song... Simply find a song and simply close your eyes and be...
Investing in a playlist for our ipods can recreate one's quiet time. Searching online, few find the local churches which upload their deep worship. It can easily be found the larger worship leaders and bands, but dig a bit deeper. Take the effort to locate praise which draws out the power of God.

One of the best things about interviewing artists and writing about the country music genre, is finding talent, that in many cases the masses have never heard of. And believe me there is a ton of it out there. As hard as it was, I narrowed it down to just 12 artists to watch in 2018. And drumroll please…
- Jimmie Allen: A few months ago Allen released his Debut EP and I've had it on repeat since. Part of the BBR Music Group, he just has a fun, sweet and sincere sound that quite literally draws you in. He's already all over the top Spotify charts and we have a feeling this is just the beginning. Expect a lot more from this guy in 2018.
2. Josh Phillips: On tour with Brantley Gilbert in 2018, there is no denying Josh Phillips personifies that bad boy/bad ass country image. His EP released in October is quite the opposite. Such sweet soft lyrics. Quite the redneck romeo if I must say so myself. He may have just been signed to Big Machine, but Phillips has been on the road a while trying to make a name for himself. Bonus points because he comes from my home state of North Carolina too. His voice is just one you sink in to. I expect big things from this guy and can't wait to catch him on the road next year.
3. Jameson Rodgers I've been a fan of Jameson Rodgers since "Midnight Daydream" so when I heard that voice shuffle in to my Spotify Wild Country playlist with "Some Girls" I was pumped. I don't know a lot about Rodgers, but what I do know is that I love his voice. It's sexy and sucks you in..(insert hot midnight daydream lyrics). "Some Girls" was also one of the most spun songs on pandora a couple weeks back. Don't say I didn't tell you so.
4. Hannah Ellis – As a part of CMT's Next Women of Country Class of 2018, Ellis is one to watch for sure. "Temporary Feeling" caught my attention and had me movin to it's beat. Women struggle to rise to the top in country music. It is a million times harder for a women to get noticed. Ok, maybe not a million but sadly, it is harder. I do believe that's changing and with women in the genre continuing to support and lift each other up, it is only going to get better. Most recently "ILYouSo What" popped up on those big Spotify stations and I have nothing more to say that to keep an eye on this firecracker, I'm totally feeling her style.
5. Levi Hummon – Born and raised in Music City, Hummon is no stranger to the sights and sounds of Nashville. Since his EP released with Big Machine in 2016, Hummon has released two singles. Most recently "Stupid." A song about living totally carefree with not a worry in the word and I really like it. Keep an eye out for this guy in 2018.
6. Waterloo Revival – Friends who met in middle school, Cody Cooper and George Birge are living out their childhood dreams. Signed to Toby Keith's label in 2016 and having gone on tour with Toby Keith, these guys are out there making a name for themselves. Their current single, "What Guy Wouldn't," is a fun and upbeat song that will have you moving in your seat. They have also recently been featured on Colt Ford's song, "Dynamite."
7. Charlie Farley – This one is going to come out of left field for most of you and that's ok because music comes in all shapes, sizes and sounds. By now, you know I live, eat and breathe Spotify playlists. We were hit with "Where I'm From," one of Farley's songs on Wild Country. There is no denying it's different. But it's also not different. It's country, the lyrics are about the country life. But it has a beat to it you don't always hear in country music. Dive a bit deeper in to this guy's music and you'll hear a type of country music that is certainly unique. Signed to Average Joes Entertainment and in a league of his own, Charlie Farley is one to watch.
8. Trea Landon – Keeping it country is Tea Landon. In the world of new age country, Landon sucks us in with that genuine country twang. It's refreshing and I am ADDICTED. Trae Landon reminds me of home and every boy I went to high school with. He has written with tons of Nashville greats. Having just signed with Warner Music label I cannot wait to see what his future holds. My guess is something great in 2018.
9. Carly Pearce – Just Shy of a million monthly listeners on Spotify, Pearce is most definitely one to watch. Just listen to "If My Name Was Whisky," and you'll be hooked too. With that innocent voice and those innocent eyes, I hope she's tough. Pearce has an exciting tour ahead of her with the boys. Blake Shelton, Trace Akins and Brett Eldredge. Those guys wouldn't let just anyone on tour with them. She's certainly on the right path, already one to watch… she's going to surpass our expectations. The year of women in country music???? I think so.
10. Ashley McBryde – She's something special. A voice with soul and compassion, she's as authentic as they come. An arm full of tattoos and a regular bad ass demeanor, I love her. Also with Warner, on tour Luke Combs and dates with Miranda Lambert, she has a bright future and I can't wait to catch her on the road. I'll say it one last time. 2018, the year of Women in Country.
11. Mitch Rossell: Who is Mitch Rossell? Just a guy who's dreams came true when Garth Brooks cut his song, "Ask Me How I Know." Having been on the road and with THE man Garth himself, I'm certain Rossell has learned more than he ever could have imagined. His single, God, Girls and Football is every small town in America. And that strong faith we hear is what we all need. With a quarterback (pun intended) like Garth in his corner, why would we not want to keep an eye on this guy.
12. Muscadine Bloodline: Where do we start with these guys. Almost exactly a year ago these guys released their EP. I've been watching, creeping.. every move they make, every cover breath they take… I've been watching. Seriously tho, have you stopped to listen to them. I could listen to Porch Swing Angel 4 million times and never get tired of it, but I am anxiously awaiting the single they have coming in January. I've got my eyes and ears on you Gary and Charlie, don't let me down.
And because I just could not stop myself at 12…
13. Brown and Gray: I don't a lot to say, other than I LOVE "Top Down." Sam Gray and Kaci Brown have caught my attention and I seem to be hearing the song everywhere. They have a unique dynamic and one that I like. Sam appears to have a very successful music career in London and Kaci, signed her first deal at 11?? Let's see what happens with them in 2018. 🙂

Newsletter of 03/20/06
Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo
Thoughts from Some Fellow Parishioners of Holy Spirit—March 19, 2006
Before Charity, Justice First
"Promoting justice is a fundamental role of the church. The Old Testament, for example, is full of examples. I cannot see any room for doubt about the importance of justice as a major concern of the church.
"In fact, I would say, 'Before charity, justice first.' If you have not given me what I deserve, and then you give me alms and expect me to say thank you, that's a form of injustice.
"We can't make such water-tight distinctions in real life. One of the greatest expressions of charity for the laity, in fact, is to go into the struggle for justice. I have been preaching this to our people, trying to help them understand that working for the common good is the apostolate of the laity…. "Any attempt to separate these two things—charity and justice—as if one is for the state and other is for the church is unrealistic. Concern for justice opens up a wide range of channels for positive interaction between church and state."
From Archbishop John Onaiyekan of Abuja, Nigeria, the elected president of both the Nigerian bishops' conference and the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar.
In the National Catholic Reporter, 3/10/06.
In this article, one of Africa's most prominent bishops has a taken a position that is in the mainstream of Catholic teaching. It is, however, diametrically opposed to the one taken by our Pastor. Not only has the Reverend Monsignor expressed a contrary position and has taken strong action to curtail the Parish's justice activities, but he has overtly punished those who have had the temerity to question his thinking and the actions that have flowed from it. More than any other issue in the Parish, these actions of the Pastor have set in motion a spiral of very unfortunate actions and reactions. It is time to step back and allow those who think as Archbishop Onaiyekan to have a place in Holy Spirit's ministry once again.
Thoughts on collaboration—something our Bishop has asked for.
"…[the American Catholic parish] has nary a clue what to do with gifted lay women, who enjoy neither the status nor the protection of the ordained priesthood, but who are called upon increasingly to play the role of mediator between competing factions within the parish and to organize and lead whatever spiritual enrichment or social outreach programs the parish offers. Despite the predictable charges that they foment 'radical feminism' and watered-down catechesis, the Judy Nices [religious educator in Kenmore, NY] of the Catholic world seem its best hope for preserving continuity, at the parish level, with the historic Christian practices of hospitality, personal and communal prayer, theological education, and spiritual formation.
"By the early 1990s there were more lay people in graduate theology programs than there were young men studying for the priesthood, and most of those lay students were women. Although these two sets of Catholic ministers will likely be working side by side in the coming years, the church has done little to introduce them to one another during their years of formal training, and even less to break open and reshape clerical culture in such a way as to make room for and welcome such collaboration with lay women as the will of God and a grace to the church."
From a book review by R. Scott Appleby, Professor of History at Notre Dame, in Commonweal, 3/17/97.
[Discovered by Googling the phrase "Post Vatican II Parish"]
Holy Darkness
There is an honesty and humanity in the season of Lent that has always touched me. I feel a deep connection to Good Friday because it is a day filled with all the highs and lows of the human condition. If I immerse myself in Lent, I can feel the truly redemptive power of being broken, the beauty of humility. Even though we might be tempted to skip the hard stuff, to turn away when faith becomes uncomfortable or even starts to hurt – by turning away we miss a great treasure. There is a grace that can only be experienced in the times of darkness. Lent reminds us there are times when we must simply be the seed. Alone and in the dark, waiting for the Creator's touch to bring forth the miracle of growth. Lent reminds us that there is a holy darkness, a blessed night that we must embrace before we can truly experience the dawn.
From fellow parishioner, Michelle Peña
$$$$$ Update
According to the Sunday Bulletins, since 10/16/05 parishioners have donated $30,727.39 less than the $319,000 the parish budget called for during that period. If the spending patterns of the last fiscal year have continued (13.4% over budget), then during this same period an additional shortfall of $42,729.72 was created. This gives a total of $73,457.11 of red ink (versus budget) for the period 10/16/05 to 3/12/06. Stretching that pattern for an entire year, the Parish would fall short by $173,525.90.
Authority and Power
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lord Acton
Lord Acton was one of the wealthiest men of his time and probably the most prominent Catholic layperson of the mid 19th century, but his famous comment was not, as most of us probably think, about secular government and politics but, instead, was about the Papacy and the Pope of his time, Pius IX.
Our Bishop described the situation in the Parish as a "power struggle." This is an unfortunate phrase and at its root cannot be correct because there is no "power" in the Church, if by power it is meant the imposition of one's will on another. As John McKenzie in Authority in the Church says, "… [such a use of power] is in direct opposition to the sayings of Jesus in which this form of self-assertion is forbidden formally and explicitly. Power is not a substitute for apostolic leadership. Power is not even an inferior way of achieving that end." There is authority in the Church, it is one of the gifts that Paul talks about in Corinthians, and every member of the Body of Christ is concerned that the authority be exercised properly, but no one in the Church has power over another person in the Church. To describe our situation as a "power struggle" is to have a view of the nature of the Church that appears to be at odds with Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes, the great constitutions of Vatican II.
The Stealth Process
Is a process with no stated goal, no metrics of success, and no visible activity, other than passive listening, really a process? Our Bishop speaks of healing and reconciliation, but seems to really want just two things: acceptance of the status quo in the direction and management of the Parish and silence. If the underlying issues that have plagued the Parish since June, 2003, are not addressed in an organized way, then "making nice" will not accomplish anything in the long term.

Robert Orme
Robert Orme
Robert Orme, after the bust by Joseph Nollekens.
|13 January 1801 (aged 72)
Robert Orme (25 December 1728 – 13 January 1801) was a British historian of India. Son of a British East India Company physician and surgeon, he entered the service of the Company in Bengal in 1743. He returned to England in 1753, and was regarded as an authority on India.
He was appointed as a Member of the Council at Fort St. George, Madras, between 1754 and 1758. In that capacity he was instrumental in the sending of a young Robert Clive as the head of a punitive expedition in 1757 to Calcutta, after the alleged Black Hole incident of 1756. He returned to England in 1760, and was appointed as historiographer to the British East India Company in 1769.
Orme wrote History of the Military Transactions of the British Nation in Indostan from 1745 (1763–78). He also published Historical Fragments of the Mogul Empire, the Morattoes and English Concerns in Indostan from 1659 (1782).
Born on Christmas Day 1728 at Anjengo, Travancore State, India, he was the second son of Alexander Orme, a physician and surgeon in the service of the East India Company. His mother's maiden name was Hill. He was sent when about two years old to the house of his aunt, Mrs. Robert Adams, in Cavendish Square, London. From about 1734 to 1741 he was educated at Harrow School under Dr. James Cox, and was then placed for a year in the office of the accountant-general of the Royal African Company.[1]
In 1742 Orme went to Calcutta, where his elder brother William was a Writer in the East India Company. Orme engaged himself in the mercantile house of Jackson & Wedderburn at Calcutta, and made a voyage to Surat. On returning to Calcutta in 1743 he was himself appointed a Writer in the East India Company's service. He acquired a reputation for knowledge of Indian customs, and in 1752 was asked to state his opinion on the regulation of the police in Calcutta. In 1753 he visited England, and during his absence in 1754 was appointed by the court of directors a member of the council at Madras. Returning to India, he arrived at Madras on 14 September 1754. He took an active part in the deliberations of the council respecting the military operations in the Carnatic, 1754–8, and recommended the appointment of Clive to command the expedition against Suráj-ud-Dowlah. Orme was for some years close to Clive, but the friendship was broken off about 1769.[1]
From 1757 to 1758 Orme was commissary and accountant-general. At the end of 1758, his health being poor, he left India with a small fortune. The Grantham, the ship in which he sailed, was captured by the French on 4 January 1759 and taken to Mauritius. Orme ultimately reached Nantes in France in the spring of 1760.[1]
In the autumn of 1760 Orme bought a house in Harley Street, London. He was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 8 November 1770, and from about 1769 till his death was salaried historiographer to the East India Company.[1]
In 1792 Orme retired to Great Ealing, Middlesex, where he died on 13 January 1801, in his 73rd year. He was buried on 21 January in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Ealing where there was a memorial tablet. He was an admirer of Samuel Johnson.[1]
In 1752 Orme drew up part of A General Idea of the Government and People of Indostan. This was afterwards completed, and posthumously published in Orme's Historical Fragments, edition of 1805. Orme was given access to the records at the India House, and obtained information from Bussy, whom he visited in 1773 at his country seat in France. He was not a scholarly orientalist.[1]
In London, Orme formed a library of ancient and modern classics, and arranged his materials—collected since 1742—for an Indian history. In August 1763 he published the first volume of his major work, A History of the Military Transactions of the British Nation in Indostan from the year 1745; vol. ii. was published in two parts in 1778. Orme was complimented on his work by Sir William Jones.[1]
George Bruce Malleson, in his History of the French in India thought Orme's history generally accurate, though failing to treat the French as principals in the story. Orme told Samuel Parr that in preparing the third volume he completely formed every sentence in his mind before writing it down. A third edition of the work appeared in 1780, fourth 1790, fifth 1799. There were other editions in 1803; 1861 London, and Madras. In 1782 Orme published 'Historical Fragments of the Mogul Empire, of the Morattoes, and of the English Concerns in Indostan from the year 1659.' This was reprinted in 1805 (London), with a memoir of the author, giving some extracts from his correspondence with William Robertson the historian, and others (cf. Edin. Rev. January 1807, p. 391 seq.). Orme's essays 'On the Origin of the English Establishment … at Broach and Surat' and 'A General Idea of the Government and People of Indostan' were included in this volume.[1]
Orme was married, but this is said to have been unknown even to close friends during his lifetime. The court of directors of the East India Company gave his widow an annuity.[1]
A bust of Orme at the age of forty-six, made in 1774 by J. Nollekens, was bequeathed to the East India Company; an engraving of it forms the frontispiece to Orme's Historical Fragments, ed. 1805.[1]
Orme bequeathed to his friend and executor, John Roberts, chairman of the court of directors, all his books, manuscripts, &c., with a request—duly carried out—that he would present them to the East India Company. This collection, which went to the library of the India Office, consisted of: 51 volumes of printed tracts on India and the East India Company; 231 manuscript volumes, compiled by Orme, containing information on Indian affairs; letters relating to the company's affairs; maps, charts, plans, &c. In the maps accompanying his published works Orme had marked hundreds of places for the first time. A part of Orme's library had been sold by him at Sotheby's about April 1796, when he gave up his house in Harley Street.[1]

Biometric Gun Safe VS Mechanical Gun Safe – Which one can give the maximum protection? Which one should I buy? Which one is best? These are the common questions of gun safe buyers. People often confused to pick the right gun safe.
The mechanical safe will always be a big part of the world and with technology sometimes creating problems; many people decide to be kept in the past. The younger generation is now experimenting with the biometric gun safe and the older generation is slowly gravitating towards these safe as well.
Many people do not trust the biometric gun safe for home use and thus decide to stick to the traditional and standard mechanical one. But these guidelines will definitely make it clear to you what are the top benefits of a biometric gun safe or a mechanical gun safe and what are the worst things of each type. And finally this will prevent you not to struggle to open your safe.
Having a mechanical safe has always been the traditional way of keeping your valuables safe. But biometrics has now taken over and now we will explore the fundamental differences between the safes and help you make a better choice.
#1 Biometric Gun Safe
The most popular, stylish & quick access locking mechanism.
- Quick and Easy Access. While speed may mean the difference between becoming a victim and protecting yourself, it is definitely a great advantage to have. Biometric systems will open much faster and if you could add gas compressed technology, you will even have the ability to make your firearm ready while opening.
- Advanced Security. We cannot deny that criminals are getting smarter, but with biometric gun safes, you will be assured that the technology has evolved with them and you will have the newest methods of protection on the market.
- The Element of Surprise. Criminals may be able to prepare for mechanical safes, but with biometric gun safes, they will not know what to expect. Biometrics are continuously improving and unlike mechanical safes, each biometric gun safe has different added features to ensure that you can catch them off guard.
- Control of Access. Unlike with the mechanical lock, you will be the only one with access to the safe. Should someone try and force open the lock, it will shut down and you will have to wait a few minutes for the lock to cool down. Standard lock picking tools can not open the biometric lock and no one could possible steal or duplicate your key.
#2 Mechanical Gun Safe
Old style but still secured & lovable locking mechanism.
- Durable. Mechanical gun safes cannot be tampered with by water or fire and this will force someone to use brute force to try and pry open the safe. The manufacturers will also have the added benefit of spending all their resources on strength and durability to ensure the safe withstand punishment.
- Reliable. With the mechanical gun safes, you will never need to fear the glitches and errors associated with technology. You will know that every time you need to open the safe, you will be able to open the safe with the key or turning knob.
- Fire and Water Resistant. Fires may not occur that often, but if they should happen, you will know that the mechanical safe should last significantly longer. While this is not the case anymore, in the past biometric safes were easily destroyed or rendered useless after being attacked by fire. Without technology, water cannot cause any errors or disrupt electrical currents.
- Cheaper. Technology is expensive and if you remove that element, you will save a lot of money on the safe. You will also be able to save some extra cash on things like batteries and technology upgrades that may come out from time to time.
What Will Make You Love The Biometric Gun Safe?
We choose biometric gun safes over mechanical gun safes because of multi-functionality and added security. While they may be weaker against elements of nature, we still believe that it is easier to keep nature out of your house than it is to keep a human being or intruder out.
- The biometric locks are cooler, edgier and definitely flashier.
- They are unique to the owner only and will open for no other fingerprints.
- They have the cool factor, the modern science factor and they definitely look better than a keypad or manual locks safe. But these advanced locks are also not all that flawless.
- The biometric locks have a disadvantage when it comes to sweaty hands. They will not be able to scan you and will take several tries before you get it right.
- The RFID signal bracelet malfunctions at times and may fail you in an emergency. You could end up banking your safety and find it not accessible.
- Also, if one really wanted to get into your safe, they would do so whether you like it or not and it does not take a genius to know that if you don't take the hand to the safe, they will do it for you. Not a pretty sight.

We hope that you now have a clear understanding of biometric gun safes for your home & office. They may not seem tougher, but they actually are. Please share your thoughts on how fingerprint gun safes are better than mechanical gun safes and if you feel the same.

I have worked in the Software Consulting business since the early 90's and work hard including travel away from home. When we decided to move from our land locked sailing lake near Dallas, TX, the company I work for was very generous and allowed me to move closer to the Texas coast where I could sail on larger water.
(update) - We have now lived on Galveston Bay for 18 months or so and are getting closer and closer to moving aboard the boat within the year.

That's a ratio of 1.548 for every dollar the Foundation received from your state last year. And that doesn't even include the money Lodges in your state will get back through our Community Investments Program. For the 2010-11 fiscal year, for example, we awarded a total of $127,700.00 to 87 Florida Lodges.
Pompano Beach Elks
Lodge #1898
(954) 781-2300
Grand Total:
Most Valuable Student:
Legacy Award:
When you give to the Elks National Foundation, you're doing more than funding the Elks National Drug Awareness and "Hoop Shoot" programs. You're doing more than supporting the Community Investments Program and providing Emergency Educational Grants to the children of deceased or totally disabled Elks. You're doing more than maintaining the Elks Veterans Memorial.
You're doing all that, and you're supporting Elkdom in your state.
During the 2011-12 Lodge year, the Elks of Florida donated $448,040.04 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back the following:
In 1928, one man's dream became a reality for all Elks and the communities we serve. Then-National President John F. Malley envisioned a plan that would "unite the forces of the Order into a mighty army for the service of mankind." During the annual Grand Lodge Convention in Miami that year, Malley's call to service inspired delegates to take action by voting to establish the Elks National Foundation with an initial $100,000 grant.
More than 80 years after Malley shared his vision with the Order, the ENF continues to unite all Elks in service to their communities.
Since inception, the ENF has contributed more than $324.6 million toward Elks' charitable projects nationwide. These funds enable programs that support youth, honor veterans, and meet needs in areas where Elks live and work. Our programs continue to grow each year, allowing Elks to do even more to build stronger communities. Click here for details on all ENF programs.
This year, the ENF will invest a record $6.5 million in Elks communities through Community Investments Program grants for Elks Lodges. This includes the addition of Beacon Grants, $1,000 grants available to every Lodge for an ongoing, Elks-driven, charitable project.
Community Investments Program grants—which also include Gratitude, Promise and Impact grants—offer your Lodge an opportunity to serve your community in ways that will raise the Lodge's profile, energize the membership, encourage former members to return to the fold, and gain the notice of people who want to be part of an organization that's doing great things.
The ENF is able to help Elks build stronger communities thanks to contributions from our generous donors. Since inception, we have received more than $207.2 million in contributions and bequests. Today we boast more than 100,000 active donors and an endowment fund valued at $505.8 million.
A board of seven trustees, who are all past national presidents of the Order, governs the ENF, which is located at the Elks national headquarters in the Elks Veterans Memorial in Chicago. The director, Jim O'Kelley, oversees the administration of the ENF's day-to-day operations. Click here to meet O'Kelley and his staff. The ENF also has volunteers at the Lodge, district and state levels who help coordinate our fundraising strategy and implement our programs.
Thanks to the ongoing support of our donors, the ENF continues to expand on Malley's vision, mobilizing Elks across the country into a force for positive change.
We will award a total of 27 "Most Valuable Student" scholarships to high school seniors from your state. (Click here to check out your recipients.) In addition, we will award up to 13 Legacy scholarships to children, grandchildren and stepchildren of Elks. (Click here to check out your recipients.)
These grants support your state's major charitable project, as well as other philanthropic projects. Portions of these grants will also support your state's Drug Awareness Program, Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot and educational programs.
National Veterans
Service Commission:
These funds will help them provide aid and comfort to hospitalized veterans
Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.
Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, you must be a citizen of the United States over the age of 21 who believes in God.
You must be sponsored by a member of the Elks Lodge and reside in the jurisdiction of the Lodge you wish to join. You also need two other Elks who will be your co-sponsors. The Elk who proposes you for membership must obtain a Membership Application from the Lodge Secretary.
After your proposer fills in the required portion, you will be given the Application for Membership. Fill it in, following the instructions and answering all questions. Return the completed application to the Lodge Secretary.
Your application will be read at a regular Lodge meeting. It will then be forwarded to the Investigating Committee, who will call you and set up a time for you and your sponsor to meet with the committee so that they can interview you.
After the interview is concluded, the committee will report to the Lodge concerning your membership. The members will be given a notice not less than 10 days nor more than two months before the vote will be taken.
When the vote is concluded, you will be notified and asked to present yourself and your spouse for indoctrination. During indoctrination, you will learn more about the Order's programs and charities. You will also be told during the program the date you will be initiated.
After initiation as an Elk, you can take part in all meetings and social functions of the Lodge.
If for any reason your application is rejected, you cannot make application for membership for six months from the date of rejection.
The Elks National Foundation provides more than $3.64 million in college scholarships each year through its three scholarship programs. The application process and deadlines vary for each program. All applications must go through a local Elks Lodge before reaching the Elks National Foundation office. Contact your high school counselor for more information or your local Elks Lodge.
How is the Elks National Foundation Helping YOUR State?
Each year, the Elks National Foundation strives to grant more money back to each state than it received from that state in donations. These grants help fund the state Elks associations' major charitable projects, which include aid for people with disabilities, cancer research, children's hospitals, youth camps and safe havens for abused families. The state associations also use these grants to fund their "Hoop Shoot," Soccer Shoot, Drug Awareness and scholarship programs, as well as other charitable and philanthropic projects.
This year, the Elks National Foundation will grant $7.7 million to the state Elks associations.
Helping Elks Build Stronger Communities
The mission of the Elks National Foundation is to help Elks build stronger communities. We fulfill this pledge by investing in communities where Elks live and work. We provide tomorrow's leaders, our youth, with a healthy beginning; honor the Elks pledge to never forget our veterans; help the state Elks associations accomplish their charitable objectives and fund projects that improve the quality of life in local Elks communities.
Like all Elks, the Foundation values the belief that charity is the greatest of all virtues and that by sharing and giving we have the power to replace sorrow and despair with hope and confidence. Donations to the Foundation help us fund programs that match our cornerstone values of knowledge, integrity and community.

No, I didn't fall off an elefant.
But I wish I did. I don't know who started those rumours at school; it's def not true. I did ride an elefant on my holiday in Africa last month+week though, & emailed a pic to my pal Ann of it. Maybe, no... Ann's not like that. I think. However, I did shatter my bones. In Tasmania. Last Month. It's still bandaged.
I've got six CDs to import. *Yay* Finally, songs on my "iPod". I'm too lazy to download songs :P
Okay so anyways, today I went to MT school. Yeh, next week's oral so we did basically oral the whole day. During the period BB lost her voice, so she couldn't talk – literally she was talkin' sooo softly. Like mime. Until after class break when she finally got her voice back, haha.
Changed from Extension Science1 to some photography course & took photos with my digital when sir wasn't lookin'. Got to upload them soon, but again, too lazy.
I'm also too lazy to change my blog skin, which is annoying me at the moment, but I guess I shouldn't waste time on it 'cause I take 4ever to choose a decent template.
And I'm debating over whether or not to change my URL, or maybe creatin' a new blog entirely where I try to post often but fail miserably 'cause I'm too lazy, have friends over 12/4, are addicted to Myspace/Facebook/Twitter/OceanUp/Neopets, and always usually have nothin' better to talk 'bout save for H&A, T-Swift, school, The Tings, and playing my bass which I'm still learnin' how to play. Oh well.
peace out. xx Peppercorn Swirls
