The following is a neighbor post from Timothy from Wealth Artisan!
Well before you head to the local mall to empty your wallets at big-name retailers, consider the advantages of buying from a privately owned and operated store specializing in handmade products!
What is more personal than you purchasing an item from the hands of the person who made it? What will the recipient of the gift think when they find out that someone made it especially for them? We are so used to machines churning out our gifts, that we've forgotten the emotion connected with someone giving us something that was made by hand.
This is especially evident when you order a custom item from the crafter. You have literally purchased an item made specifically for you from the owner of the shop. How much more of a personal experience could you ask for?
Last time I purchased a greeting card, it certainly wasn't crafted by the hands of the Hallmark CEO. To be honest, I'm not sure if any human hands touched the card before it was placed onto the shelf! Buying handmade brings a personal level to your shopping experience that is all but extinct in today's mass manufactured world.
The crafters that I know take huge pride in the level of service they provide. Happy customers are return customers, and happy customers tell other people. Wal-Mart may have price cornered, but based on my experience, and the complaints of others, service is something to be desired.
When you buy handmade, you're also purchasing personal service. You know the package is going to be packed neatly, presentation will be important, timeliness will be considered, and your opinion will matter. You aren't only purchasing a product, you're purchasing the detailed service that will come with it.
Many might rush to point out a higher price point, which may be the case on time intensive products, but for the most part, I've found prices to be relatively competitive especially when you consider quality (we'll get into that next). For instance, Humble Shop Greeting Cards are priced in a similar price range to Hallmark, and American Greeting cards, and this is including shipping!
When you buy handmade, you are also paying for time, so if you are out to purchase a finely carved wooden bowl, or an intricately knit dress, you will most likely pay a slightly higher price, but you'll need to consider the next two points before writing the price off.
In the last section, I was discussing how many prices are right on par with the big name card companies. Some might point out that you can purchase a pack of 12 cards for $7 or $8, but the level of quality just won't be there. You'll end up with a folded sheet of paper with a picture printed on it.
With Humble Shop, you get a multi-layer card on heavy card stock. There is no comparing the quality of mass-produced goods that were made with the intent to maximize profit with handmade goods that had service and quality at the top of our checklist.
Have you ever purchased a shirt or sweater from a store, just to have it wear out, or fall apart a few weeks or months later? I have! You probably won't have those issues when they've been handmade by a true artisan.
When you buy handmade, you are supporting an independent crafter. You are creating a personal connection with both the recipient of your gift, and the person who made it for you to give. You are encouraging the continuation of making things by hand.
I don't want to be a downer, but I think most people can see the elephant in the room. Consider what is being supported when you purchase items that have low price as their primary focus. We won't name any names, but many of the stores we purchase from everyday have quite the history for employing slave labor, and low-income people in questionable conditions.
This Christmas, buy and give handmade. You'll be surprised at how affordable it really can be, you'll feel good about who you're buying from, and your family and friends will be stunned that something was made especially for them.
Don't forget about the weekly Humble Bee Newsletter, which not only covers the handmade community, but it also provides coupon codes and links for you to use when shopping for various handmade stores. Be sure to subscribe today to start receiving The Humble Bee Newsletter!

I love discovering regional and/or vintage recipes so when I recently read about a pie that was once served at many restaurants along North Carolina's Atlantic coast, I started researching its history. If you're dreaming of hot sun, blue water, white sandy beaches, and palm trees, this recipe for easy beach pie is just what you need—without packing a suitcase or waiting in a line at the airport.
The original recipe is known as North Carolina lemon pie or Atlantic beach pie, and the filling is made with sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Now you're probably thinking "ho hum, another pie with a graham cracker crust", right? Nope, this is a pie crust made with saltine crackers!
Some recipes use Ritz crackers and I'll probably try that at some point, but this time I went for the saltines. This crust is so simple that anyone can make it. Throw the saltines in a food processor and pulse until they're mostly big crumbs. Then drizzle the melted butter and corn syrup over the cracker crumbs, and pulse some more until the mixture looks kind of like oatmeal.
In case you're concerned about using the corn syrup, be assured that it is NOT the same as high fructose corn syrup that we all want to avoid.
Spray a 9″ glass pie plate lightly with non-stick spray, then pour all of the crumbs into it and use a flat bottom measuring cup to press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Use your other hand to form a ridge along the top edge.
Ta-da! All ready to go into the oven for a pre-bake.
And here it is baked and ready to be filled.
Citrus fruits are in season right now, so when I saw the beautiful variety of fruit displayed in the produce section, I decided to put my own twist on the filling recipe and used orange and lime juices in addition to the lemon juice for a more complex flavor profile.
Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, cream, and zests all together until smooth, then whisk in the citrus juice until the mixture is once again smooth and starting to thicken, and pour it into the pre-baked crust.
Ready to go back into the oven.
And a few minutes later you have your finished pie. Cool it for about an hour, then refrigerate it for another four hours so it's firm enough to slice and serve.
Then whip the cream, lavishly spoon it on top of each slice, and savor that fabulous combination of flavors and textures–salty, sweet, tangy, creamy, crunchy–easy beach pie is a dessert that is light and luscious and easy to make. What could be better?
Please rate this recipe, comment, and share on social media.

Pre-heat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position, and lightly coat a 9" glass pie plate with non-stick spray.
Combine the saltines and optional salt in food processor and pulse to coarse crumbs, 10 to 15 pulses. Add melted butter and corn syrup and pulse until crumbs look like oatmeal, about 10 to 15 pulses.
Slide the pie plate into the oven and bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown and fragrant.
While the crust is baking, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, heavy cream, zest, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth, then whisk in the citrus juices until the mixture is well combined and starting to thicken.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake until the edges of the filling are set but the center still jiggles when shaken, 15 to 20 minutes.
Set the pie on a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until fully chilled, about 4 hours.
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, then increase the speed to high and whip just until stiff.
Serve the pie with a dollop of the whipped cream.
Total time for this recipe does not include chilling time.
You can use an equal amount (by weight) of Ritz crackers instead of saltines.
If you're using salted butter as I do, omit the salt in the crust, but do add the specified salt to the filling to keep it from tasting "flat".
I was really skeptical about the saltine cracker crust, but it was excellent. Great saltiness and crunch with the tart flavor of the citrus combination. Mouthwatering!

Russia will send more advanced aircraft, including K-52 helicopter gunships, to Syria in order to strengthen the Russian military grouping that takes part in anti-terrorist operations. According to the Defense Ministry, Russia's sole aircraft carrier of Admiral Kuznetsov will in October carry Ka-52 helicopters to Syrian waters to participate in combat missions across the crisis-hit country. In case the new helicopters' successful missions in Syria, Russia may to replace some Su-25 fighter bombers deployed in Latakia with Ka-52 helicopter gunships.
In total, the Russian aircraft carrier will have about 15 Su-33 and MiG-29K/KUB fighter jets and more than 10 Ka-52K, Ka-27 and Ka-31 miltiary helicopters that will strikes at militants in Syria from an eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.
Since last week, Russian warplanes have conducted actively air strikes with special attention to northern Latakia, northeastern Idlib, near the cities of Aleppo and Deir Ezzor. Various sources say that from 40 to 70 terrorist targets were destroyed.
Heavy clashes between the Syrian Arab Army and a joint force of Al Nusra, Nouriddeen Al-Zinki and the Free Syrian Army are ongoing in the strategic Mallah Farms near Aleppo City. Pro-government forces have repelled all militants counter attacks and now in control of about 80% of the farms.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Democratic Forces have repelled ISIS counter attacks south and west of the strategic city of Manbij. Pro-Kurdish sources argue that ISIS has faced significant casualties.

I love watching gymnastics competitions, so when three of my little church friends were competing nearby, I had the privilege of cheering on these amazing girls as they showcased their God-given talents!
This was our cheering section, about 20 friends from our church family.
Lydia's dad Warren is one of our church elders and a dear friend who has helped me out many times with church projects. He assists the Small Wonders team, spotting and hauling equipment around. I think he got as much of a workout as the girls did!
Emily did great on the uneven bars!
Lydia had a fantastic routine and scored her personal bars best with a 9.35 (if I remember correctly)!
Sticking the landing! Oh yeah, Emily!!!
Wow!!! I am in awe of these girls!
Gymnasts are not only physically amazing, they are some of the most mentally tough athletes. Not only do they have to be fearless and daring, but they have to put their emotions aside in difficult situations, being able to finish a routine after a big mistake without breaking. They may be small, but these girls are mightily strong both in body and spirit!
Finally, the vault. Emily goes first.
In her division, the girls vault onto the high mats...different from what I had seen before.
In Lydia's division, the girls go airborne!

The Orthodox Roman Catholic
Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever. Creed of St Athanasius
"The Judas Factor, Pope Francis, and "Amoris Laetitia"
He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him: but Jesus said to him:
"Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
(Luke 22: 47-48) How we live in such perilous times, these modern times, when so many souls are on the brink of hell, fire, and damnation and are totally indifferent because of false loves, false charity, or the lovism of the day, which is the coalescence of all artificial loves and feelings. The false charity of Judas Iscariot and his false loves of the world have ravaged again the Body of Christ: today's modern Catholic Church, as well as Christianity in general. Especially is this true with Pope Francis' recent two synods on the family and his papal exhortation entitled "
Amoris Laetitia".
This age and these times have worshiped at the altar of money, pride, pleasure, and self-power, precisely where Judas Iscariot went astray in his betrayal of Jesus Christ, and Our Savior; therefore, Judas had to live with a feigned loved of Christ, a false charity which culminated in his betrayal and his false kiss of Jesus Christ in spite of his fallacious claim to discipleship all the same. This is Francis, this is his pontificate, this is his synodal disaster with the bishops of the Catholic Church, and "
Truly, Satan's gospel of prosperity and feel-good religion has mortally infected the hearts and souls of Christians and Catholics everywhere today. In truth, claiming to love Christ as a disciple but really not is the result of false loves, a sinful heart, and the spread of false charity. It is this false charity of the modern world: an outgrowth of liberal Protestantism and feel-good Christianity, that has so wantonly betrayed Christ's love, a false love, which has likewise been embraced heartily by modern day Catholic theology and Christian charity, especially since Vatican II and now with Pope Francis' document "
and the entire synodal process of all the bishops and cardinals of the Catholic Church.
This false charity of Judas Priest is epitomized by the unorthodox and unfaithful pope Francis. Especially is this evident with the biblical story of how Judas complained to Christ and the other apostles how Mary Magdalen anointed Christ just before His death with the expensive bottle of precious nard. Judas declared forthrightly that the precious nard should have been sold and the money therefrom ought to be given to the poor.
However, Christ greatly defended Mary's deep reverence and filial love for Christ's precious Body saying: "Leave her alone, for the poor you shall always have with you." Nevertheless, this is Francis, this is His so-called pontificate and this is
the cardinals and bishops of the Catholic Church today throughout the world!
Observe how deep the reverence has always remained through the centuries for the most Holy Eucharist and Christ's Real Presence! However, to diminish its utter holiness and sacredness or allow this, is nothing less than overt sacrilege.
Today, in the Catholic Church Pope Francis, the Judas Priest of the biblical past revisited,
promulgated officially from the Chair of Peter along with the Cardinals and Bishops of the Church that there is
nothing wrong now with divorced and remarried x-catholics receiving the most holy Eucharist, only after a brief Confessional rendezvous with the local parish priest who will allow this horrendous sacrilege on an individual basis in spite of this being a gross sacrilege for 2000 years now up to Francis
. With all past teaching of previous popes of the perennial
magisterium, no divorced catholic who was remarried could ever partake of the Holy Eucharist in light of St. Paul's poignant reminder:
"to eat the Flesh of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ unworthily means you eat and drink your own damnation. In fact, no divorced and remarried catholic who would not give up their grievous sin of adultery could ever be allowed to legitimately receive the most Holy Eucharist before Francis.
This is the sacrilege of Francis, open to the Judas Priest Factor along with all the cardinals and bishops who, like Judas Priest, were quite happy to diminish the sacred reverence due Almighty God in the Eucharist for money and worldly gain. Again this is Francis who is happy to propagate this sacrilege, that denies the holy reverence due Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist for money, or for worldly gain. How nefarious for the Bishops , priests and Cardinals to compromise with the true charity due Almighty God in the Eucharist and how sacrilegious for such intimates of Our Lord to be so perverse. And this , perhaps, to fill the coffers of their parishes with a few more dollars, from countenancing this horrendous sacrilege from apostate catholics, in reality.
Now priests who engage in this sacrilegious travesty become nothing more than ecclesiastical functionaries and not "victims" like Jesus Christ who yearned to be as much "victim" for Almighty God as He was to be his loyal priest. Not so, anymore! Few today in Christ's priesthood are sacrificial "victims" for Christ by helping the sheep in their flock from committing such a horrible sin of sacrilege, but instead they look past the adultery of xcatholics being a grievous sin. Yet to be priest and victim as Jesus Christ was, demands that they evangelize all such wandering sheep in adultery to completely repent of the
adultery and leave their infamous mate! Here are Bishop Fulton Sheen's prophetic words on this:
"Eventually I came to see that the Lord was teaching me not only to be a priest, but also to be a victim. This explains why two of the books which I authored are on this very subject. I can remember when, after four months in the hospital, I began to recover; I was reading Mass on an altar constructed over the bed before a few priests and friends. I spontaneously gave a sermon, which I remember so well. I said that I was glad that I had open-heart surgery because when the Lord comes to take us all, He will look to see if we have any marks of the Cross upon ourselves. He will look at our hands to see if they are crucified from sacrificial giving; He will look at our feet to see if they have been thorn-bruised and nail-pierced searching for lost sheep; He will look at our heart to see if that has been opened to receive His Divine Heart. Oh what joy is mine just to have endured the minuscule Maybe He will recognize me from that scar and receive me into His Kingdom." With such irritation of His suffering on the Cross by having a wounded side.
Remember, no legitimate orthodox pope of the Catholic Church before Francis would have ever taught such sacrilege or diminishment of reverence to the Holy Presence of Christ as Judas Priest did but all popes up to Frances have defended, and taught authoritatively on the sacredness of Christ's Presence in the Eucharist, up to and including Pope Benedict XVI and St. John Paul II. They all have believed so strongly, the popes of the centuries, who were most holy and exemplary as Mary Magdalen in showing through teaching, demeanor, liturgy, and papal gravitas this holy, holy reverence!
Furthermore those cardinals and bishops and priests of the Catholic Church who fail to distinguish these crucial differences viz. that receiving the Holy Eucharist in living adultery is mortal sin and sacrilege, as Francis has promulgated, go along in his silent apostasy (read below).
God save us!
Francis must be chastised by the appropriate authorities of the upper hierarchy for this heretical sacrilege and anathematized for this false teaching.
Gerald Cardinal Muller as well as all cardinals who have the appropriate authority should immediately step forward to condemn this heresy and apostasy before innumerable souls are lost.
This false charity that is upon us all in these latter days should be no surprise to biblically aware Catholics who have contemplated often on these prophetic words of Christ: "And in the end many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold." (Mt 24: 12)
Thus, we can observe from this that it is the lethal false perception of what is Christ's teachings that has led precipitously to this false kiss of Judas priest and his false charity.
For example, to now declare from the papacy of Francis that living together in overt adultery is no long
er mortal sin and now worthy of the most Holy Eucharist in this papal exhortation is spiritual madness!
Lest we love in our hearts Christ's totality of truth, we flounder in Satan's ugly embrace, loving the false loves of this world and their seemingly endless rationalizations i.e. adultery is love. For did not St. John the Evangelist say:
"He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words." (Jn. 14: 24)
You do not love unless you love the whole truth." We must also realize that this doctrine of false charity is all pervasive, seeping with its poisonous venom into virtually every part of theological discipline: scriptural, moral, systematic, dogmatic, liturgical, spiritual, and even ecumenical theologies. Accompanying the false charity is the wickedness of the day in such a flood of malice: homosexuality, abortion, contraception, adultery, fornication, euthanasia, and stem-cell research--- to name but a few. One would have to be blind to deny the profundity of wickedness that abounds in these times.
What is the nature of this false charity? It is, in truth, not charity at all or love of God, or love of one's fellow man in the least, but a dastardly, diabolical cover-up like Judas' false kiss of Jesus Christ that purports to be love but, in reality, has nothing whatsoever to do with love. In fact, it is the master of deceit in all of its subtleties, purporting to be one thing, yet being something else altogether. This false charity of the modern world is so devious and full of satanical deception that it deserved Our Lord Jesus Christ's most powerful condemnation. After Judas betrayed Jesus, the Son of God, with the false kiss of false charity, Jesus uttered with authoritative finality these words :
"It were better that thou were not born than to betray the Son of God with a kiss."
There is no stronger condemnation in all of sacred scripture by Christ than these portentous words; for Our Dear Lord wished to warn all mankind of the sheer wickedness and folly of false charity above all other sins. This false charity is a lie perpetual by the father of lies himself, Satan; and it is engulfing souls by uncountable numbers in the Catholic Church today who have been taught to pervert Chris's infinite charity into a false satanical love by as much as what is not faithfully taught as by what is cunningly unfaithfully taught. This again is Pope Francis and his deceitfuly manipulated document "
and the entire synodal process with all the bishops and cardinals of the Catholic Church by devastating the perennial magisterium of 2000 years and the "indissolubility of Holy Matrimony". Such satanical duplicity, claiming to love those living in adultery with a false "mercy"
THAT DOES NOT REMIND THEM OF THEIR SERIOUS SIN and that they must fully repent
, is only possible in the lukewarm world of spiritual indifference, moral relativity, and a careless affectation founded upon self-aggrandizement. This is nothing less than a demonic love, consuming sinners into an abyss of cold, lukewarm indifference, a so-called middle ground world created by Satan and called by the world today "tolerance". Today, this pandemic redefining of 'love' from Christ's own sacrificial love of total self-giving to a feel-good religion of "
I'm OK and you're OK"
has reeked havoc upon Christian charity.
Can love be authentically fou
nd in any human heart that tolerates evil in its varying degrees? Christ would say 'no' but Satan 'yes'.
This erroneous nomenclature of satanical vocabulary, such as the word "tolerance" that is used to rename an evil, cold, lukewarm moral indifference as the very love of Christ itself is the evil's shrewdest form of false charity in its very essence, for it seems to be love but in reality is not.
A typical example of this is the perverted "mercy" of Francis to give the Holy Eucharist to the divorced and remarried or as virtually all governments of the world allow abortion under the concept of another false charity called "choice".
Overwhelmingly, this diabolical deceit is at work everywhere in Catholic pulpits in the last thirty years which promotes an ambiguous redefinition of love as implying all religions love God equally; love your neighbor means to forgive the unrepentant sinner of everything and never reprove him for anything; and love of God means only His mercy and none of His Justice as in "God loves you even when you are sinning and doing wrong. i.e. the ambiguous : ' love the sinner but not the sin. ' "
A concerted effort is made to avoid Christ's supreme definition of love; "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments or you will do My Father's Will and avoid all sin." Commonly, we can detect a 'lovism' sermon today by a total avoidance and antipathy for the following subjects: death, judgement, heaven, hell—the four last things—and sin in all of its definitions and manifestations;
however, all the great Catholic mystics and spiritual writers through the centuries have advanced these salient teachings--- Catherine of Sienna, John of the Cross, John Chrysostom, Augustine, Aquinas, Louis de Monfort. 'Lovism' sermons are syrupy, sappy, theologically impotent, and heretical; for they basically advance the doctrine of feel-good Christianity that tolerates all kinds of evils: no one sins, no one is going to hell, no one needs to convert anymore---we are all equal in what today has become
theological egalitarianism
at its worst. Simply love and tolerate your neighbor in all he or she says or does as Francis does in cozeying up to Castro, the avowed Italian atheist Eugenio Scalfari, or his allowing known homosexuals in the priesthood at the Vatican to receive his personal public affections as well as noted protestant ministers in the public press with whom he meets.
This is neither Christian, nor Catholic, nor Christ-like theology; for one can easily see that Jesus Christ was, indeed, the supreme moralist of all time who was constantly explicating sin in all of its intricacies throughout His human sojourn. In fact, almost ninety percent of the great Sermon on the Mount is replete with prohibitions: do not be angry; you shall not kill; do not worry; do not commit adultery; do not divorce or remarry; do not swear etc., if you wish to be saved and live with Christ, your Lord and God, for all eternity in heaven.
How many priests today really and truly preach Jesus Christ and are not 'Judas Priests'?
As a statement against all the satanical implications of the word 'love' throughout the centuries, Catholicism has employed a most special nomenclature for 'love' in order to avoid the sea of ambiguities, misconceptions, distortions and false teachings which this most special concept of Christ-like love has so often, unfortunately, attracted. These master craftsmen of this satanical deceit today are known as facilitators of a new-age consensus, who are the grand manipulators of theological mind control and Catholic consensus-building on all subjects, including most notoriously, this new theology of 'lovism'. Moreover, in virtually any foreign language, this hideous ambiguity exists for the word love except with Latin, which has for centuries been able to nourish and keep secure the Church's magisterial theology of tradition intact
Latin is
an ancient language of precision which does not yield opportunities to massage its vocabulary and language with ambiguous meanings because it is classified as a dead language and will not change. It is a well known fact of late how translators manipulate the Latin into all kinds of unseemly deceits to spin the meaning of a translation since Vatican II. For example, in English one can use 'love' to mean many different things: one can 'love' God, 'love' his neighbor as himself, 'love' his cat under the bed, 'love' sex, drinking, food, clothes, cars etc. In short, the term 'love' in English has become so intensely bloated semantically that it is now virtually meaningless; however,
Latin has one wofeeling and nothing else. As the Roman poet Vergil has said so succinctly regarding passionate love: "
Amor omnia vincit."
How precise the meaning of the Latin language in making proper semantic differentiations of words where necessary', for example, correct Latin used only for the sacrificial love of Christ, '
, while the Latin word '
was a worldly term for love in common parlance so much akin to our modern word for 'love', indicating a passionate feeling and nothing else. As the Roman poet Vergil has said so succinctly regarding passionate love: "Amor omnia vincit." ("Love overcomes everything.&rdquo How precise the meaning of the Latin language in making proper semantic differentiation where necessary.
Therefore, the Latin
was translated into English only as its most obvious English derivative '
for so long until Vatican II, and so theologians, preachers, and catechists were careful to use '
and not '
when they were speaking of Christian love in Latin, being aware of the significant difference in meaning with these two Latin words. It is this
'lovism'
which is the new-fangled liberal theology of love that one hears so often bandied about from pulpits today in Catholic Churches—what simply promotes Satan's false charity. It is clear now how 'charity' is the word Catholicism has employed throughout the centuries in English to express this unique, supernatural love of God for mankind, of Christian men for their neighbors, of Christ for His Father, of Christ's love for us on the Cross. Finally, it is so evident how today's Catholic pulpits are awash in a sea of lovism, which is another clandestine tool of satanical intrigue from the Great Imitator himself.
And now the unthinkable has occurred with Pope Francis, ignoring from the throne of Peter, the utter significance of this great difference of meaning in choosing the Latin word "
amoris"
to entitle the very document itself of the papal exhortation on two synods on the family, along with all the bishops and cardinals of the Catholic Church! And this was done with all the derogatory and negative meanings and implications that '
has in comparison to '
caritatis'.
How unspeakable and how demonic for the hierarchy of the Church to ignore this and all that it implies in this important document from the Vatican!
All of this points to why Catholicism for centuries, even in the English language, has religiously avoided the common word 'love' to express Christ's sacrificial divine love of mankind, but instead has only used '
' or its appropriate equivalent in modern languages. Can we doubt that Judas was full of himself and emboldened about his reasons why he should betray Christ, reasons that Jesus had so vehemently and so often attacked throughout His teaching mission vis-à-vis the Pharisees, the Jewish philosophers of tolerance and false love during Christ' sojourn on earth.
They even pressed Christ to redefine love to mean "adultery" , only because Moses allowed it. This Jesus Christ did not tolerate, defending the indissolubility of marriage most impeccably!
This shocking clash of love of this world versus the love of Christ has surfaced with an intense fury unprecedented in the modern Catholic Church as never before.
It is a supreme act of moral depravity to teach that Christ's definition of love does not include the avoidance of all sin i.e. that divorced and remarried Catholics can now receive the most Holy Eucharist by simply meeting with a confessor and yet not repenting completely of this scandalous and grievous sin but going on in this seriously sinful state and yet being acceptable by any priest for the Holy Eucharist. This is scandalous blasphemy of the Sacred Species of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Beneath all manifestations of this false charity is this basic denial to correct –out of true Christian charity—the morally depraved, the spiritually indifferent, and the religiously unattached; thus underwriting Satan's false charity and his world of moral tolerance.
It is, in effect, Satan's consummate betrayal of Christ with the false kiss of false charity. It appears to be charity, but it is not; it seems to be virtuous, but it is malicious. For a pope, such as Francis, to make light of Catholic doctrine in this Exhortation of the Two Synods "
Amoris Laetitia" becomes
an uncompromising and unprincipled attitude of moral indifference which is as spiritually deleterious as the carping attitude of a self-righteous Pharisee, covertly awash in satanic pride of moral liberation. Tis absolutely imperative that one understands these two perversions of false charity, if we wish to live in Christ-like charity. So many, many souls are deceived by Satan's version of false charity, a deadly theological look-alike, which argues love would never condemn anyone to hell for sinfulness:
adultery, contraception, divorce, homosexuality etc.
These are the nefarious attitudes of 'false charity' that Satan inevitably sows in minds and hearts of his unwary followers—agreeing in their hearts to go along, to get along, in order to receive the false loves and adulation of this world.
"Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? "
How much these foreboding words of Jesus Christ as a dramatic admonishment against the error of false charity, especially for us moderns who are warned in advance by Christ that this spiritual malady would be all pervasive in these latter days. This was a duplicitous, cunning appearance of love of Christ by Judas; but, in reality, a vicious wicked pretension of love that hid beneath the surface the filth of sin and the corrupting death of the human soul.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." (Mt 23:27)
It is this duplicitous travesty of the Judas kiss and its utter semblance of love that so bespeaks the modernist manifestations of love of Christ in the Catholic Church today and the holy priesthood. It is good to consider Fulton J. Sheen's prophetic words of the future Catholic Church back in 1948 when he was a young priest:
"The Third temptation in which Satan asked will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion—one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God's.
In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, HE WILL DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT. He will set up a COUNTERCHURCH which will be the APE OF THE CHURCH, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its DIVINE CONTENT. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ…" (Fulton J. Sheen, Communism and the conscience of the West (Bobbs-Merril Company, Indianapolis, 1948 ) pp. 24,25
At no time in the history of Holy Mother Church have we witnessed such a realization of this travesty than in the false love of the most Holy Face of Christ, our Lord and God, in the desacralization of His Real Presence through the Papal Exhortation of Francis and the two Synods of cardinals and bishops on the family,
which allows divorced and remarried Catholics now to receive the most Holy Eucharist!
This, more than anything else, is a deceitful love of Satan and not a true belief in the love of Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist. This is nothing less than the false kiss of a false love and scandalous heresy and apostasy as well!
God save us,
J. Hughes Dunphy

"The Three Great Hail Mary's"
"While St. Mechtilde was beseeching the glorious Virgin to assist her in her hour of death, Our Lady appeared to her and said: 'I will certainly. But I also want you to say three special Hail Mary's to me every day.
"'The first will be in honor of God the Father, Whose omnipotence raised my soul so high above every other creature that after God I have the greatest power in heaven and on earth. In the hour of your death I will use that power of God the Father to keep any hostile power far from you.
"''The second Hail Mary will be said in honor of the Son of God Who communicated His inscrutable wisdom to me. In the hour of your death I will fill your soul with the light of that wisdom so that all the darkness of ignorance and error will be dispelled.
"'The third Hail Mary will be in honor of God the Holy Spirit Who filled my soul with the sweetness of His love and tenderness and mercy. In your last hour I will then change the bitterness of death into divine sweetness and delight.' "
Pray these Great Hail Mary's Daily!!!
Say the Rosary in Latin daily!!!
"Ave Maria"
(Pray ten times for 5 decades)
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta Maria, mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen
"Pater Noster"
(Pray once before each of 5 decades)
Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regnum tuum: fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo, et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
"Gloria Patri"

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen
How to be a Orthodox Roman Catholic:
Remember, Christian soul, that thou hast this day, and every day of thy life:
God to glorify,
Jesus to imitate,
The Angels and Saints to invoke,
A soul to save,
A body to mortify,
Sins to expiate,
Virtues to acquire,
Hell to avoid,
Heaven to gain,
Eternity to prepare for,
Time to profit by.
Neighbours to edify,
The world to despise,
Devils to combat,
Passions to subdue,
Death perhaps to suffer,
Judgment to undergo.
All Orthodox Roman Catholics must know and believe:
The Mystery of the Holy Trinity; the Mystery of the Redemption of mankind by the Incarnation and death of Jesus Christ, and the future state of reward and punishment.
These things every Catholic is bound to know by command of God or the Church:
(1) The three most ordinary Christian prayers, viz., the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary and the Apostles' Creed; and also,
(2) The Ten Commandments of God;
(3)The Precepts of the Church;
(4) The Doctrine of the seven Sacraments , and especially these three--Baptism, Penance, and the Holy Eucharist;
(5) The duties and obligations of one's state of life.
is a mortal sin for a Christian to be ignorant of these things, if it be through his own willfulness or neglect.
"Ordinary Catholics will not survive this age, only heroic Catholics will survive!"
"Fr. John Hardon, S.J.

What does allele mean in science?
An allele is one of two or more versions of a gene. An individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.
What is allele with example?
Alleles are a pair of genes that occupy a specific location on a particular chromosome and control the same trait. … A pair of alleles determine the same trait, for example, eye color, one allele codes for black eyes, and another allele codes for brown eyes.
WHAT IS A allele short answer?
The short answer is that an allele is a variant form of a gene. Explained in greater detail, each gene resides at a specific locus (location on a chromosome) in two copies, one copy of the gene inherited from each parent.
How do you explain alleles to a child?
Alleles are copies of genes that influence hereditary characteristics. Each person inherits at least two alleles for a particular gene—one allele from each parent. They are also called allelomorphs.
What is an allele Class 10?
An allele is an alternative form of a gene. It is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome. These can be passed on from parents to offspring through sexual reproduction.
What is the difference between genotype and allele?
Different forms of a gene are called alleles. … Individuals who have two copies of the same allele are said to be homozygous at that locus. Individuals who receive different alleles from each parent are said to be heterozygous at that locus. The alleles an individual has at a locus is called a genotype.
How do you identify alleles?
To identify whether an organism exhibiting a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous for a specific allele, a scientist can perform a test cross. The organism in question is crossed with an organism that is homozygous for the recessive trait, and the offspring of the test cross are examined.
What is an allele and how does it relate to a chromosome a gene and a trait?
Gene vs allele: chart
Definition A section of DNA that encodes for a certain trait A variant form of a gene
Role Genes determine individual traits Alleles contribute the diversity in phenotype expression
Determines An organism's genotype An organism's phenotype
Number per genus locus One Two
What is an allele middle school?
An allele is a form of a gene at a particular position (locus) on a chromosome. It is the bit of coding DNA at that place. Typical plants and animals have two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. … If the two alleles are identical, the individual is called a homozygote and is said to be homozygous.
Why do you only get one allele from each parent?
Most organisms live their lives with two versions of every gene. They could be two identical alleles or two different alleles, but most organisms have two. But the gametes of those same organisms will only have one allele. This is the direct result of the process that creates gametes — the process of meiosis.
What is the purpose of an allele?
Alleles are different forms of the same gene which are located on the same part of the chromosome. Genes are made up of information needed to produce different proteins, so alleles carry information to produce different versions of the same protein.
What is the difference between H * * * * * * * * * and heterozygous?
Humans have two sets of chromosomes. Homozygous and heterozygous are terms that are used to describe allele pairs.
Homozygous vs Heterozygous.
Homozygous
Contains only one type of allele, either dominant or recessive Contains different alleles for a trait. Both dominant and recessive
What is gene by Vedantu?
Genes are a series of Nucleotides in RNA and DNA. Genes are regarded as the unit of heredity which is responsible for carrying characteristics and traits from parents to children. … The genes are constrained within the chromosomes which lie within the nucleus of the cell.
What is gene Class 8 science?
Explanation: A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.
What is the difference between trait and allele?
These different characteristics of a gene that are produced by its alleles are collectively known as a variation. The main difference between allele and trait is that an allele is an alternative form of a particular gene whereas a trait is the character that is determined by the allele.
What is the difference between an allele a gene and a locus?
The key difference between allele and locus is that the allele refers to one of the two or more alternative sequences of a gene at a certain locus while the locus refers to a certain location on a chromosome where a gene can be found. … Furthermore, a particular gene can have different versions which we name as alleles.
How many alleles does a chromosome have?
An individual's genotype for that gene is the set of alleles it happens to possess. In a diploid organism, one that has two copies of each chromosome, two alleles make up the individual's genotype.
Do alleles control traits?
Definition of Allele
Genes do control different traits of an organism, such as hair color or eye color, but the actual expression of a trait depends on which allele is dominant.
Is a Monohybrid a cross?
A monohybrid cross is a cross between two organisms with different variations at one genetic locus of interest. … To carry out such a cross, each parent is chosen to be homozygous or true breeding for a given trait (locus).
How do you tell if an allele is dominant or recessive?
If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed, it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
How does an allele relate to a trait?
Alleles produce phenotypes (or physical versions of a trait) that are either dominant or recessive. The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype.
What is the relationship between DNA gene and allele?
Genes and alleles
A gene is a section of DNA that carries the genetic code for a particular characteristic. An allele is an alternative form of a gene. They can be dominant or recessive.
What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?
Alleles are different forms of same gene. Genes are linearly arranged on chromosomes. Chromosomes contain genetic material of cell i.e. DNA. So chemically alleles, genes, chromosomes are all DNA !
What is heredity kid friendly?
The passing down of traits from parent to child is called heredity and the study of how those traits go from generation to generation is called genetics. We start by learning what are DNA and genes and how they make us who we are.
What is an allele amoeba sisters?
Alleles and Genes – YouTube
What is recessive gene for dummies?
A recessive gene is a gene whose effects are masked in the presence of a dominant gene. Every organism that has DNA packed into chromosomes has two alleles, or forms of a gene, for each gene: one inherited from their mother, and one inherited from their father.
What typically happens when someone inherits one allele for brown eyes and one for blue eyes?
So, if you have one allele for brown eyes and one allele for blue eyes (Bb), your eyes will be brown. (This is also the case if you have two alleles for brown eyes, BB.) However, if both alleles are for the recessive trait (in this case, blue eyes, bb) you will inherit blue eyes.
Is dark skin a dominant gene?
Inheritance of Skin Color
Each gene has two forms: dark skin allele (A, B, and C) and light skin allele (a, b, and c). Neither allele is completely dominant to the other, and heterozygotes exhibit an intermediate phenotype (incomplete dominance).
Do genes skip a generation?
If a person's child does not inherit the mutated gene, the child cannot then pass it on to their future children. However, while genes cannot skip a generation, the cancer can.
Where are alleles found?
Each allele occupies a specific region on the chromosome called a gene locus. The gene's two alleles are located in the same region in two homologous chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. The alleles may be dominant or recessive.
Do alleles have different DNA sequences?
How much they will differ is gene-specific. If a gene has two alleles, these alleles will be different at the nucleotide level. This difference can be some form of sequence or structural variation.
Is BB homozygous or heterozygous?
An organism with two dominant alleles for a trait is said to have a homozygous dominant genotype. Using the eye color example, this genotype is written BB. An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele is said to have a heterozygous genotype. In our example, this genotype is written Bb.
What happens if both parents are heterozygous?
If both parents are heterozygous (Ww), there is a 75% chance that any one of their offspring will have a widow's peak (see figure). A Punnett square can be used to determine all possible genotypic combinations in the parents.
What is homozygous allele?
The presence of two identical alleles at a particular gene locus. A homozygous genotype may include two normal alleles or two alleles that have the same variant.
What is genotype Class 12?
Complete answer: The genotype is called the genetic makeup of an organism that describes a complete set of genes in an organism. Humans are diploid organisms, they have two alleles for each genetic position or locus, with one allele inherited from a single parent. Each pair of alleles shows the genotype of a gene.
What are class 10 genes?
Genes are functional units of heredity as they are made of DNA. The chromosome is made of DNA containing many genes. Every gene comprises of the particular set of instructions for a particular function or protein-coding. Speaking in usual terms, genes are responsible for heredity.
What is genotype class 10th?
The genotype is a set of genes in DNA responsible for unique trait or characteristics while the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of an organism.
What is the genotype for a female?
Using the definition of "genotype" that refers to a relevant section of the DNA sequence inherited by an organism, the genotype of female humans is XX, as opposed to male humans' genotype XY.
What is chromosome Class 11?
A chromosome is a DNA molecule that consists of a part or all of the genetic material of an organism. The chromosome is present in the nucleus of each cell, and it is packaged into thread-like structures.
What is DNA Class 11?
Hint: DNA is a double helix structure that is formed by the base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone. There are four chemical bases i.e. adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Complete answer: The full form of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and is the hereditary material in humans and in all other organisms.

I was eagerly awaiting these next four days off from work. It's been a really busy last several months and it's going to only get even busier starting next week. My plan for Wednesday was simple - race out of work, make a clothing change in the car that would make Clark Kent proud, take the 5:24 express from Hicksville into Penn Station and meet up with my friends Mal and Tieff for the NIT Season Tip-off.
The first two parts of the mission were accomplished and I got to the Hicksville train station in time...to see the 5:24 Ronkonkoma express branch train was delayed 35 minutes due to signal trouble. The next train, a 5:27 local from Port Jefferson was delayed 14 minutes due to a "medical emergency on board the train." So a whole lot of city goers were standing on the platform on a cold November evening wondering when the next LIRR train would appear.
The day before Thanksgiving is known as either the biggest party night of the year or as the single biggest day of drinking of the year. As I drove home from Hicksville Train station Wednesday night, there was a news story on this on the midnight national CBS radio report. A Detroit club owner noted he made as much money on the night before Thanksgiving as he did for a typical week.
And that usually means lots of young twenty somethings trekking to New York City for fun, festivities and alcohol. Wednesday was no exception. As I waited for the train, I noticed a pretty young girl in her twenties wearing only a long purple blouse, black pants and stilletto heels that were so long, they should be registered as lethal weapons.
A man next to me in a beige hooded sweatjacket and I had been conversing about the train delays. He noticed her and told her to stand by us in front of a large billboard to cut down on the wind. I then decided to take off my jacket and put it over her. She at first resisted, looking at me like "what do you want in return for this?" But after I insisted saying "It's ok really" and hopefully giving her the look that I really didn't want anything in return, she allowed me to put the jacket over her. She then noted to us something like "I rushed to get to the train, I didn't think it was going to be delayed", followed with an appreciative thank you. Having waited outside of clubs in my mid 20's with no jacket due to not wanting my leather jacket to wreak of cigarette smoke, I could weather several minutes with just a long sleeve mock turtleneck.
The 5:27 finally showed 16 minutes late and packed. The pretty girl in the purple blouse handed me my jacket and again gave me an appreciative thanks. I said "Happy Thanksgiving" to both her and the beige sweatshirt samaritan and went up the platform to a less crowded train car. Apparently everyone was taking advantage of the Party Night of the Year and the train from Port Jefferson to New York resembled one giant sardine can.
As I stood on the train holding one of the rails by the entrance to the car, it was apparent that the train was going to get more crowded as the train went to each of its next stops - Westbury, Carle Place and the always crowded Mineola. Each time there was a stop, more and more people shoehorned into already jammed pack train cars. The train conductor over the PA system kept imploring people to move in and make way for others getting on the train,
Finally at the Merillon Avenue stop, the conductor announced on the platform that the train was too packed and for those on the platform to wait for the Ronkonkoma express behind this train. The Ronkonkoma express had become a local to handle the crowd.
Once the train got into Jamaica station, people started getting off for transfers. A little more breathing room for us in our car. But that was short lived. Once we got to Kew Gardens, a ton of people got on there. So many people that a man in a Kevin Boss Giants jersey who had escorted his young daughter to the bathroom on our end of the car was now unable to get back to his seat on the opposite end of our car. Finally as we got into Penn Station, the conductor on the PA system exclaimed "WE MADE IT!" Everyone our car got a good laugh as the conductor continued apologizing for the rough conditions and wished us all a Happy Thanksgiving.
I raced off the train, went up the stairs, then made my way through the Amtrak waiting area with all the riders waiting to head to various parts of the east coast for the holidays. I walked my way up another flight of the stairs and made the all too familiar quick cross over to Madison Square Garden. To me, I was home for the holidays. Another NIT Season Tip-Off at the Garden.
Quickly I got a dog, a pretzel and a drink and headed for where Tieff was in the World's Most Famous Arena. He had called me to tell me that he moved down from our section 110 seats to an even better view. This was due to the fact that not a lot of people were there for the first game, VCU vs. Tennessee (we would find out later that this was a late arriving Villanova crowd).
As I noted in my article yesterday morning, VCU had been the party crasher to what C.M. Newton and the NIT boys had tried to make a Power Six final four pairing at the Garden. However, the athletic Rams were only three point underdogs to the #24 Volunteers of Tennessee. So the oddsmakers wisely knew that VCU was a pretty good athletic team that would give Ole Rocky Top a good run for the money (yes that pun was on purpose).
When the game started, it was definitely clear that the Rams needed to drive the lane to score. Layups by Jamie Skeen and Ed Nixon countered their team's woeful outside shooting, as VCU was tied with Tennessee at six with 16:23 left in the first half. Unfortunately, the Rams would only hit one Brandon Rozzell three pointer over their next ten field goal attempts. During this time, the Volunteers went out to a 16-9 lead and threatened to extend that lead.
However, good teams find ways to stay in ball games when other facets of their game, namely field goal shooting, are lacking. In VCU's case, it was their press defense and relentless rebounding, especially on the offensive glass, that kept them in the game. The Rams quickly cut the Volunteers' lead to 16-14.
Then when Tennessee went on a 7-0 mini spurt to go up 23-14, again VCU responded. The Rams whittled the lead down as VCU used the charity stripe to its advantage, scoring ten of its next fifteen points from the free throw line, while holding down Tennessee on the offensive end. The Rams best player on the evening, Brandon Rozzell hit two free throws that would actually give VCU its only lead of the half, 29-28 with 1:47 left. Tennessee would regain the lead on a Scotty Hopson dunk and would up at the half 33-32.
VCU was only down by one point at the half, due to the fact they had hit eleven free throws and forced eight turnovers. This was despite shooting 3 of 16 from beyond the arc and 9 of 38 overall. The odds were that in the second half, VCU would shoot better and that spelled trouble for Tennessee.
But for a mid major team trying to upset a power six conference team, the team generally must be on all cylinders, meaning one of its best players can't have an off night. In March, Tieff and I saw Stony Brook give Illinois all it could handle. But the Seawolves' best player, Muhammad El Amin, had a truly off night, shooting 6 of 20 from the field. Stony Brook fell short 76-66.
Wednesday night was another example of this. VCU's Joey Rodriguez came into the game averaging 18 points and a ridiculous 10 assists per game, while shooting nearly 48 percent from the field and 44 percent from beyond the arc. Grant you, none of the teams the Rams played were any good defensively as Tennessee. Still, Rodriguez picked a bad night to shoot 1 of 10 from the field and have only two assists on the night. Thus it seemed VCU was playing a man down all night.
The Volunteers though deserved a lot of credit. Their guards got VCU's guards Darius Theus and Burgess into early foul trouble. And in the second half, they shutdown VCU's drives to the basket. The Rams were forced to hoist shots from the outside. And Tennessee's front line of Brian Williams, Tobias Harris, Scotty Hopson, Renaldo Woolridge and John Fields were winning the rebounding war in the second half.
Now obviously when you see the number zero on the back of the jersey, you can tell Woolridge is the son of the famous Orlando Woolridge who played many seasons in the NBA. But for CAA fans, another name there is very familiar. John Fields played at UNCW for one season after two years at East Carolina. In his lone season with the Seahawks, Fields averaged nearly eleven points, nine rebounds and had averaged 2.3 blocks while shooting 53 percent from the field. Fields got his degree and took his one remaining year of eligibility and headed south to Tennessee. VCU got to see a familiar foe again wreaking havoc as Fields had two blocks in only 13 minutes of action.
The second half was close knit for nearly the first five minutes. Burgess' layup tied the game for VCU at 41. But as was the case for most of the evening, the Rams couldn't get over the hump. Tennessee responded with a 10-0 run capped by a Brian Williams two point layup as the Volunteers were having their way now inside on the small Rams lineup. Tennessee extended the lead to eleven 57-46 with 8:30 left in the game.
VCU only had two real forwards play the entire night, Skeen and JUCO transfer Toby Veal. Veal ended up only playing 13 minutes and thus the Rams used a lineup of Rodriguez, Ed Nixon (one of my favorite players in the CAA), Rozzell, Burgess at the four and Skeen at center. Eventually, the size and equal athleticism of Tennessee was becoming too much for VCU.
But it didn't mean the Rams would quit. Behind two three pointers by Rozzell and a three pointer by Rodriguez, his only field goal of the night, VCU cut the lead to two 57-55 with 5:49 left. But with a chance to take the lead, Burgess missed his three point attempt. Tennessee would then extend the lead again to 63-55 on a layup by Hopson, then four straight free throws by Harris and Hopson. Four minutes left and the Rams were down eight.
But VCU had one last charge in it. Rozzell nailed a three pointer and was fouled. His free throw and another three free throws later were part of a 10-5 mini-spurt and again the Rams were down three, 68-65 with 2:51 left. Again, VCU had a chance to tie, but once again a failed three point attempt, this time by Burgess, ended up dooming the Rams, as they never got as close again.
Tennessee would end up winning the game 77-72. Hopson had a double-double 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Williams ended up with 9 points and 11 rebounds. Rozzell had a terrific night, leading all scorers with 23 points on 6 of 11 shooting from beyond the arc. Skeen also had a double double with 11 points and 14 rebounds (7 were offensive rebounds). But he only shot 2 of 10 from the field as most of his points came from the line (8 of 9 from the charity stripe).
The game went two and half hours, probably due to the fact that the teams combined for fifty five free throw attempts. Thus a needed ice cream break was in order in preparation of the second game, Nova vs. UCLA. We had moved back to our actual seats before the end of the first game, which were pretty good to begin with. The crowd was definitely larger now, made up of mostly Wildcat fans.
One of the most recent annoying things in Sports is that teams' fan bases are now known as "nations". This started of course with the Red Sox and "Red Sox Nation". Now a lot of teams fans are known as nations, and unfortunately, Villanova has fallen into that horrible vortex. Two Nova fans in front of us had "Wildcat Nation" T shirts on. What was really stupid about these t-shirts was the bad outline of the United States. Alaska was represented one fifth of its actual size. If you are going to have a "nation", make sure to have an accurate drawing of it.
OK, off the soapbox and onto the game. I have always been partial to Jay Wright for his years at Hofstra rebuilding the Flying Dutch, er, Pride into a successful program. And his teams whether at Hofstra or at Nova were based on good guard play. This season's Wildcats were no exception as Corey Fisher, Corey Stokes and Maalik Wayns make up a formidable trifecta of guards.
And Villanova came out smoking in front of their faithful. The Wildcats hit five of their first six shots and were up 13-6. UCLA stayed in the game as the smooth shooting and aptly named Lazeric Jones hit a couple of lasers from beyond the arc to make the score 14-11. The Bruins would continue to hang in the game on a Joshua Smith layup to trail by three, 22-19 with 11:08 to play.
Joshua Smith is one of those players you end up rooting for when you first see him on the court. Joshua is six foot ten...and 305 pounds. And I think the 305 listing is light. He looks like the second coming of Oliver Miller and actually that's a compliment. He certainly is built like Miller and he has a nice soft touch similar to when Miller was good (before he sadly seemingly ate himself out of a pro career). And Smith had a nice night with 10 points on 5 of 7 shooting from the field in 19 minutes of action.
Unfortunately, the rest of the Bruins shot 19 of 52 from the field and were no match for the Wildcats backcourt trifecta. Nova would outscore UCLA 22-10 the rest of the half and were up 44-29 at halftime. We decided to leave then to catch our trains back to the Island. Villanova would never look back in a 82-70 win over UCLA as Fisher, Stokes and Wayns combined for 61 points.
As I waited for my 11:09 train at Penn Station, I was reminded that Wednesday night was the party night of the year. Waves of pretty young females in their twenties in short minidresses kept walking by, Some of the minidresses were so short and so tight, my actual first thought was that I was glad that both of my children were boys. Not that I am a prude, but I just wouldn't want to be a father of girls nowadays.
I was able to get a seat this time on the train, though it ended up being pretty well packed itself. My train car was not full of pretty young twenty somethings in cocktail dresses. It was full of families, probably coming back from watching the Thanksgiving Parade balloons getting blown up at Central Park. One of these days I will take my boys to see that. But considering how cold it was Wednesday evening, I was much better off being at the Garden. Another Thanksgiving Eve at the World's Most Famous Arena. Another Garden Party on the party night of the year.

"We have an amazing team, and it's been such an honour and a privilege to compete next to them," said MacLennan, who sat out from the finals on Friday in preparation for the individual semi-final on Sunday.
"It's been really impressive to see how much they've improved over the last few years, and I think all of us go out, and have fun in training and just support each other. It might be an individual sport most of the time, but we definitely approach it like a team."
The competition will continue through the weekend, where Canada will compete in the individual and synchronized trampoline events.

Intel FPGAs provide the flexibility, performance, and scalability needed for cost-effective 5G solutions.
Compared to its predecessors, 5G is more than just another generational leap - it is the foundation for universally connected digital society. This demands a series of superlatives: 100x typical end user data rate; 100x number of connected devices; and 1,000x higher mobile data volume - all the while connecting to a more diverse set of end-user applications. To meet these requirements, 5G is looking to employ existing and potentially new RAT's, utilize new technologies such as Massive MIMO along with new deployment scenarios like cloud-based RAN, yet still remain a cost-effective solution for practical implementation.
A likely deployment scenario for 5G is a cloud-based radio access network, or C-RAN, that employs a centralized datacenter-like architecture for baseband processing of a larger number of remote radio heads. Intel FPGAs are vital for this approach, as they can be used with Xeon processors for hardware acceleration and virtualized functionalities.
But while the demands of 5G are sure to be enormous, the specific technologies that will be used to meet these demands still remain uncertain. Intel programmable FPGA's and solutions offer the necessary flexibility and performance needed to meet the ambitious and ever-changing demands of 5G wireless connectivity.
However, it is uncertain which combination of these technologies will provide the most complete and cost-effective solution for the demands of 5G. It is vital that wireless infrastructure achieve the right balance of flexibility and performance in order to keep up with the changing and increasing demands of the wireless market.
The Centralized/Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) has attracted tremendous attention from the wireless infrastructure industry in the recent years. This is due to the substantial benefits introduced by the C-RAN architecture including lower total-cost-of-ownership (TCO), enhanced spectral efficiency, and simplified support of multi-standards and future evolution. Perhaps more importantly, this architecture complements the industry's migration toward Network Functionality Virtualization (NFV) and Self Organized Networks (SON) in terms of network architecture convergence.
Escalating data traffic demands have exceeded traditional air-interface capacity and, as a result, new architectures and approaches are required.
Operators' income-per-subscriber is predicted to grow at a modest rate over the next few years while data will grow exponentially. Thus, operators are under pressure to lower cost-per-bit in order to maintain services in a profitable manner.
Substantial growth in the number of base stations has resulted in a significant increase in power consumption on the wireless network and, correspondingly, operational capital expenditure (OPEX). Operators need new approaches to reduce total power consumption and OPEX.
There are load imbalances across regions (residential/commercial) and time intervals (day/night workday/weekend). With current network deployments, hardware must be over provisioned to support the worst-case loading; consequently the network is, on average, under-utilized.
The high density of Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) deployed in urban areas cause inter-cell interference which limits performance.
Due to these limitations in the existing wireless network, the industry is trying to optimize the network architecture by considering a number of key innovations. Together these enhancements are termed C-RAN.
Decreasing the number of sites reduces the cost (both CAPEX and OPEX) and simplifies future upgrades.
Advanced COMP capability will resolve the issue of inter-cell interference in high density areas.
Shared processing allows the network to allocate processing power between cell sites based on need or capacity to improve operational efficiency. Shared processing power also enables coordination of multi-cell sites and, along with multiple-band support, allows the air-interface to adapt to dynamic loading levels. Load balancing helps the network respond to spikes in bandwidth demand and ensures reliable operation of the network by automatically allocating resources. Intelligent, Self-Organizing Networks promise to reduce network operating costs by simplifying network planning, configuration, management, and optimization.
Driven by these architectural innovations, C-RAN solutions have the potential to introduce tremendous inherited advantages by physically aggregating BTS processing to a single site.
Figure 1 illustrates the fundamental rationale of the C-RAN with full centralization. The Remote Radio Unit (RRU) sites stay the same as the conventional radio networks, while the Baseband Unit (BBU) moves from being co-located with the RRU to a centralized location. The BBU includes Physical Layer (L1) and higher layer functions, mapped onto a large pool of processing resources that accomplish the virtualized NodeB functionalities.
In order to connect multiple traffic streams together in a dynamic fashion, a switch layer called cloud terminator is also introduced. This layer is used to bridge, connect, and control different interface protocols to facilitate dynamic load balancing.
LTE places very strict latency requirements on data processing. For example, round trip latency must be < 5 ms and baseband frame processing must be < 1 ms. As a consequence, the transmission between the RRU sites and the centralized BBU site must be high throughput (≥10Gbps) and requires latency as low as tens of microseconds.
The key requirements of CRAN are reconfigurability, low and deterministic latency operation, flexible HW accelerators and high speed switching performance which make FPGAs a natural component of any CRAN architecture.
The cellular infrastructure known as the Radio Access Network (RAN) has been evolving since the first analog FM cellular solution (first generation or 1G) in the 1980s. During this evolution, the Radio Access Technology (RAT) moved from GSM to LTE and the network topology changed from circuit-switched (TDM) to packet-switched (IP) with continual reduction in latency, improved throughput, spectral efficiency, and peak speeds. These changes translated into a new infrastructure that is faster, smarter, and more elastic in its use of resources. This transition requires more processing power and intelligence in the Basestation or eNodeB.
The basestation is now evolving to a super-intelligent wireless router. Specifically, the basestation, or eNodeB, now processes the entire PHY, MAC, Radio Link Control (RLC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), and Radio Resource Control (RRC) for multiple interface standards, at 10 times the data throughput.
These advancements result in a "soft/flexible" basestation supporting multiple standards at the right price. Furthermore, basestation solutions must scale from picocells, to microcells, and to macrocells.
OEMs' desire to re-use their basestation chassis, the high processing requirements for next-generation basestation architectures, and the need to reduce overall system latency and address both flexibility and scalability are all driving the need for highly integrated system on a chip (SoC) solutions with both hardware and software flexibility for interfaces and processing with inherent scalability. The figure above illustrates typical macro basestation architecture.

Kirirom National Park Tourism
The Kirirom National Park is located in Kampong Speu in southwest Cambodia in the Cardamom mountain range. The park offers excellent cold weather as it is situated above 700 meters from the sea level. It is surrounded by cliffs, pine trees, wooded hills, Buddhist shrines and splendid views of Cardamom mountains. It is a popular day-trip destination for tourists visiting Phnom Penh, who enjoy the waterfalls, lakes and many species of birds that reside in the park.
The word Kirirom in Khmer translates to Happy Mountain. The Cambodian King Monivong gave the name to the country's first designated national park. Before this, the park was called as Phnom Vorvong Sorvong, a meeting place of two hills named on two prince brothers Vorvong and Sorvong. The park is located on the eastern end of the Cardamom mountains.
It used to serve as the meeting place of Cambodian elite before it suffered during the Khmer Rouge when it became an abode of refuge. In recent years, the landscape has transformed with the construction of many villas and resorts around the national park, and also active ecotourism projects to protect the reserve area of forests.

Adamu is a pan-dimensional being of profound wisdom that speaks for "the Monadic Entity of the Pleiadian Civilisation" (this is explained in more detail in the first video). But as strange and interesting as that may sound, what is even more remarkable is the information he has to share.
Adamu is the most wonderful source of compassionate wisdom. He has an unbelievable amount to share with us on the subject of ascension and the attendant issues of learning how to awaken to unity-consciousness, discovering our own creator nature and learning to release our limitations.
Book 3 of The Ascension Papers is also being co-authored with Adamu and the first chapters of that work can be read here. But, even before the first words of that book were being written, Adamu indicated that he wished the opportunity to speak brief, concise messages to you, though me. And so a whole new and different journey is begun! I have recorded his messages as youtube videos and shared them here. So I invite to you to watch the "Adamu Speaks" videos on offer (and/ or read the text transcripts for each). I think you will find them... quite enlightening.

Clearwater Christian College will close this month
Published on June 5, 2015 in The Bay and the 'Burg by Janelle Irwin
Clearwater Christian College will close its doors at the end of this month after nearly 50 years. The Board of Directors of the Christian liberal arts college announced Friday they will be closing.
"In order to address the challenges of declining enrollment, increased debt and lack of significant endowments or other revenue sources, the board and administration of Clearwater Christian College thoroughly investigated a variety of short-term and long-term viability options," a statement on the college's website reads. "Unfortunately the related due diligence process did not yield a resourced solution to the operational stress points of the college which could ensure completion of another academic school year."
The school will close June 30.
It's unclear what will happen to students currently enrolled in CCC. However, the administration is "working to help both current and prospective students move to their new transition of life."
Baptist Bible College in Missouri is offering a $3,000 scholarship to students who transfer for the 2015-2016 school year.
The board asks for prayers in the weeks to come.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, tax documents filed by the school over the past several years tell a somber story of an institution in financial ruin.
In 2011 the school spent nearly $1 million more than it made. They improved substantially in 2012 only exceeding revenue by $141,000. In 2013 the school managed to make about a half million dollars.
But the debt appears to have been too crippling. The school owed more than $10 million, most in tax-exempt bonds. The school's worth was only a little more than $4 million.
Arthur Steele founded Clearwater Christian College in 1965. He wanted to open a Christian college to restore biblical standards and morality to educational curriculum.
CCC is an accredited college and awards associate and bachelor degrees in business, education and other liberal arts majors. The school also offers a master of education degree.
CCC received approval from the State of Florida that allowed students to receive state certifications for teaching.
The school is nestled in a prime chunk of land just off Highway 60 in Clearwater. It's just feet from Tampa Bay and a short bike ride to downtown Safety Harbor.
The school is known for churning out many young Republican campaign volunteers and interns.
News of the school's closing was met with mostly sadness on Twitter. CCC alumnus Benjamin Ham joked on the social media site about future conversation's with employers when they asked about where he attended college. When he answers "Clearwater Christian College," Ham wrote the response might be something like, "that doesn't even sound real."
"Well, funny thing …" he wrote.
Another player on the CCC women's soccer team, Taylor Endicott, wrote she will miss not playing with her teammates again.
Despite the school's website still showing events scheduled for next school year, it will not be operating another year.
