Just got back from a week's diving in Cozumel. On my very first (daytime) dive, the first thing I saw was an O. briarus sitting in its cave watching us. Saw a lot of them on our night dives. A couple of very small squid which I failed to photograph, and a group of three larger squid which I did.
I wanted to try interacting with one of the octos, but wasn't wearing gloves, and didn't know how likely it was to bite. Any hints on this for future dive trips?
Those are some great pictures, Mark, especially Octopus-2 and -4. I am so envious.
Awesome pics !! they're really sharp, the octos look like they're glowing or something and the violet on the sepioteuthis is real nice.
Niiiiiiiice,, What camera gear are you using??
It's an Olympus C-5050 (their high-end consumer digital camera) in an Olympus housing. No external strobe, just the one built-in to the camera. I'm very happy with the setup, though I'll probably get an external strobe before my next dive trip.
Olympus doesn't sell their underwater housings in the North American market, so to get one here you have to find a photography store that imports them from Japan, and it won't have any warranty or factory support. But the housing is affordable and works great.
how much did you have to spend on the camera and the housing, if you dont mind my asking?
I have a low-end olympus digital which is a couple years old now and i'm thinking about upgrading to something real nice.
WOW! Those were amazing pictures! What a wonderful green! Awesome!
Those pics will be the next backgrounds for my computer I assure you.
The camera is widely available. MSRP is now $699, and it's generally not discounted very much. I got the PT-015 underwater housing from Marine Camera http://www.marinecamera.com for $200.
The one other thing I should mention is that I generally adjust the color balance in Photoshop on the computer, to take off some of the blue, boost the reds a little, and increase the contrast. My intent isn't to make the pictures more colorful, but to have them look more the way they seemed to me underwater, rather than the washed-out blue look you get from any pic that's more than 20 feet underwater or 4 feet from the camera.


Don't let this kind of distorted thinking get in the way of meeting someone really great.
Some of the kindest, strongest and most committed men I know are short.
They can have a great sense of humor, be the life of the party, or the nurturer who is always taking care of everyone and making sure everyone's okay.
While the school and college years are typically defined by conformity and image consciousness, one's adult years – say, one's 20s and 30s – are intended to be periods of growth and individuation.

There is an abundance of scientific evidence that reveals that drub abuse and drug addiction does not only impact the user but the entire community on vertical economic and health scales. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in addition to the risk of becoming addicted the drug, drug abuse can also lead to other forms of comorbidity, including mental disorders.

The greater the intensity of the discomfort you experience, the more likely the person is to break the detox and use their drug of choice in order to ease the discomfort.
Additionally, a report issued by Elements Behavioral Health suggests that attempting to detox at home can be dangerous and potentially deadly. When you begin to detoxify your body of the drugs that are currently in your system and the toxic bi-products they create, The cellular structure in your body and brain responds to the disequilibrium created by the chemical shift.

My husband and I were in Portland last week for the big swap meet. It's all about the car parts, so though I don't actually follow my husband around while he indulges his hobby, I do enjoy going.
About three years ago I got tired of hearing he was sleeping in the back of my car in parking lots. The alley was my breaking point. It didn't matter that his cousin may or may not have owned the house next to it. When his age caught up with him and he was coming home exhausted because he didn't sleep well I took action.
I knew he wouldn't take the RV for himself, but he would if I was with him. I relished the idea of having a couple days of quiet by myself with nothing to do. I mean, I can't exactly organize my house or clean if I'm not home. There is nothing pressing on me when I'm in the RV.
The first year I joined him, my husband wasn't sure of my RV park choice, but I Googled it to death and was sure of its integrity and close proximity to the swap meet. Although since then, a few trips to other RV parks on different adventures has made me wary of believing what a park may brag about online. However, that first dip into the RV park pool was a pleasant one.
It was so pleasant I asked for the same parking spot the next year. I did the same this year, though upon arrival I was given a completely different site with no explanation. It's a nice park, so it doesn't really matter on paper, but after we found our new location, I was pretty upset. I felt like Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory explaining why he chose "his spot." I liked the previous spot because of its close proximity to the bathroom/laundry building, its short walk out of the park into the shopping mall, and it was across from the office for all my official needs or questions.
As much as I want to be able to do my hiking shoes and take a long walk, my right leg has an opinion these days. And it's not always apparent how it's feeling at any given time. I could be feeling fine and lurch on my way and my right leg may enjoy the stroll. Until it doesn't. Then I'm stuck wherever I may be until it gets over its pity party.
We do tow a vehicle down here for my husband's use, so I'm car-less during the day. It's all fine in the long run. I don't need to go to the mall, if I need a short walk I can just lap the park, and I don't really need a bathroom because we do have an RV (we prefer our "business" be done in another facility).
However, that first morning I was woken by dogs barking from all directions. When I got up and opened the curtains, I wondered if I was at an animal rescue park. There were dogs on leashes, owners taking them onto the one patch of lawn I can see out the window to do their business, and for some reason cats wandering around everywhere. The second morning was worse. The dogs in the RV right next to me were barking on and on, left by their ignorant parents to destroy the sanctity of my silence. Blessed rain drowned out their noise. Not so great for my husband who was wandering around in it.
Not that there's anything he could do about the dogs nor I the rain, but given a choice I'm sure he'd much rather deal with the rain than come home to my insanity. Happy wife Happy life.


With great sadness, the Board of Directors of Dharma Civilization Foundation, announce that our Founding President, Dr. Shiva Bajpai, passed away on Saturday January 13th 2017.
When Professor Bajpai retired from active teaching, he found himself engulfed in a new struggle that came to be called the "California Text-Book controversy", which centered on the teaching of the history of India and Hinduism in California K-12 schools. From 2005 to 2009, he worked with the staff of Hinduism Today to create the book "The History of Hindu India" intended for middle school as a corrective to the erroneous material common in the officially prescribed textbooks. The book has also been turned into a well-received five-part documentary series available on You Tube. His encounter with the existing entrenched challenges in the narratives about Hinduism in the academy, further led him to the founding of Dharma Civilization Foundation. Serving as its first President and a trustee, Professor Bajpai helped guide and shape its mission, which was to "facilitate and promote" the understanding of India's Civilization, Religion and Culture through education, by establishment of centers, endowed chairs at undergraduate and graduate colleges and universities, new courses, scholarship, and journals. In this capacity, Professor Bajpai guided Dharma Civilization Foundation in creating the Center for Dharma Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California, in a very short period of time. DCF is now involved in several initiatives both in California and around the world at all levels of higher education. We celebrate the life of Professor Shiva Bajpai, and will deeply miss him, even as we rededicate ourselves to the vision and mission of Dharma Civilization Foundation, that he helped create and nurture.

10 March 2017, CHIREDZI – Pastor Netsai Kufakwavanhu of the Gilgal Healing Voice and Deliverance Ministries has accused 'Prophet' Amos Chari Mapfumo of assaulting her and another church member, Omega Bere, with an 'anointed' belt after they had reprimanded him for his alleged womanising behavior.
The pastor told TellZim News that the case has been reported to the Chiredzi Police Station and they want Mapfumo to pay them US$750 in damages.
She claimed that they were assaulted after they had visited his homestead to warn him against his 'wayward' behavior of making advances even on married women. She said the prophet's behavior was tarnishing the church's reputation.
"Prophet Mapfumo got angry after we criticised his behavior of making advances on women as well as the gospel of prosperity which he likes. We were then assaulted with the so-called anointing belt," said Pastor Kufakwavanhu, adding that she had now dumped the church.
The pastor said they had raised concern with Mapfumo over his behavior which she alleged was allegedly wreaking marriages in the church.
"He encourages women to look for rich husbands whom he calls 'zvihuta'. This has shaken and broken many marriages as women are no longer satisfied with the husbands they have," said Kufakwavanhu.
When contacted for comment, Mapfumo said that he had resolved the issue with the women's husbands.
"I discussed and resolved the issue with their husbands and I never assaulted them. My hands are for blessing the people not assaulting," said Prophet Mapfumo.
He also denied that his ministry was profit-driven, saying even if he leaves the ministry; he would carry nothing with him.


Seattle - Pellet exports from North America to Europe reached a new record high in the 4Q/11. Shipments have increased practically every quarter for four years, up from 130,000 tons in the 1Q/08 to almost 600,000 ton in the 4Q/12, according to the North American Wood Fiber Review (NAWFR). Export data collected by NAWFR (www.woodprices.com) from exporters and customs information in both North America and Europe show that wood pellet shipments reached just over two million tons in 2011, up almost 300% from 2008.
Pellet producers in British Columbia have been the major exporters since the first shipments 12 years ago but this changed in the second half of 2011 when expanded investments in new capacity in the US South put US shipments on par with Canada.
Six pellet export plants, widely varying in capacity, are now operating in the U.S. South. Four others have shipped trial shipments the past six months and six additional exportoriented pellet plants have been announced, making it highly likely that there will be significant export growth over the next 24 months.
In Eastern Canada, exports in the 4Q/11 remained unchanged from the previous quarter when volumes decline primarily due to the closure of the Enligna pellet plant in Nova Scotia. However, there are plans to re-start the idled plant later this year by a new owner.
In 2012, small increases in volumes from both the U.S. and Canada will likely occur, with more significant export growth due in 2013. At that time, new export-oriented pellet plants now being constructed are scheduled to begin operations.
On the receiving end of pellet exports to Europe, utilities in the Netherlands, the UK, and Belgium continue to be the largest consuming destinations of North American pellets with the UK showing the steadiest and most vigorous growth.

For offices and startups in Buffalo or anywhere in the state of New York, Progent's phone-based network support specialists can deliver expert and economical IT help whenever your company requires it. More than 15 years of delivering online tech support has led to Microsoft Partner certification for Progent's team of engineers and has helped Progent to acquire high-end troubleshooting skills and to refine remote connectivity tools to solve computer problems quickly while avoiding the cost and lost time associated with on-site support visits.
Even if your Buffalo organization deals with a local freelance support technician or maintains a full time IT staff that can deal with day-to-day network problems, Progent's Microsoft certified consultants can provide a convenient and transparent virtual expansion of your local resources in cases when your usual IT support personnel either lack the bandwidth or the experience to handle unexpected system emergencies or especially complicated integration problems.
For most organizations in Buffalo or anywhere in New York, nearby network service resources, whether represented by independent consultants or a full-time maintenance staff, can resolve typical technical problems. On the other hand, IT crises might occur when your regular support personnel are overstretched or absent, and some trouble may involve technology that is beyond the scope of your local support technicians. In these cases, Progent's on-call support specialists provide an easy, quick, and affordable solution to supplement your regular help and to convey valuable knowledge to increase your capability to resolve downstream issues in-house.
For IT support, smaller offices commonly depend on independent freelance service providers. While independent service people carry smaller overhead than big service organizations and can afford to charge lower rates, they are occasionally overextended, making it difficult to respond rapidly to urgent situations. If an independent consultant is busy with another customer, ill, on a trip, or in training, the absence of reserve personnel may force your company to go without assistance during an IT crisis. As your network expands, network unavailability and problems with vital software are more costly. The budget you thought you were conserving on a freelancer can be eaten up fast by reduced productivity. Progent offers an on-call source of backup support experts to insure your IT system remains up and running.
Businesses often start with an information architecture implemented on a shoestring budget. Lacking a scalable framework, band-aid repairs often get thrown on top of a shaky foundation. As a company grows, reliability and scalability issues can impede the productivity of the business. Such poorly designed environments require careful analysis, smart long-term planning, and extensive technical expertise to upgrade to a system architecture able to offer the stable foundation to meet current business requirements and ease downstream expansion.
Smaller businesses require guidance and technical education to negotiate an increasingly complex array of technology alternatives available for accelerating business success and improving efficiency. Businesses hardly need a network consultant who is attempting to sell a specific vendor's technology. Network support and product sales can result in a situation where the recommended solution is designed around a profitable product rather than the true requirements of a business. Progent eliminates these conflicts of interest by offering only services instead of products. This enables Progent to match technical expertise with the best interests of clients.
Progent is a Microsoft Partner support firm and Progent's head count, depth of technical experience, refined support software, and familiarity with enterprise networking enable offices to avoid the limitations of excessive dependence on smaller service firms, individual freelance service providers, or over-stretched internal IT help.
Progent's staff of Microsoft and Cisco certified experts average longer than ten years of hands-on industry experience, at the front lines of IT support, performing a broad range of IT projects for an extensive array of customers. Each Progent support professional shares a refined set of personal best practices which are combined into company-wide leading practices training that Progent instills in its support personnel. This ensures that you get not just world-class IT capability, but also a support engineer with proven methods for using technical knowledge to repair actual network problems rapidly.
Progent's pricing model is to charge for phone support and on-site help by the minute. Consequently, you owe just for delivered support. Progent does not demand a more expensive rate for off-hours or priority support, and within California or in areas where Progent offers on-site service, Progent does not charge for travel time except for urgent calls where on-site work is less than four hours. Also, Progent imposes no initialization fee and requires no monthly commitment for support services delivered during regular business hours. Many support organizations demand substantial minimum payments or charge for each quarter hour or longer. Progent's fine granularity avoids big bills for fast solutions so you won't be tempted to permit less critical problems to stay unaddressed.
Progent is committed to knowledge transfer from Progent's support experts to customers. By educating clients to deal with problems that are within their scope, Progent is able to focus on providing hard-to-find services where Progent faces little competition. Companies who work with familiar freelance consultants or who employ internal support staffs benefit when Progent transfers information about critical technology and proven methodologies to make their IT environments more reliable, secure, and efficient.
Progent is one of the only support companies to provide round-the-clock network tracking services based on MS System Center Operations Manager. Microsoft Operations Manager causes your network maintenance to be anticipatory rather than reactive. By anticipating potential problems before they result in downtime, network monitoring can save your IT network from stressful and expensive availability disruptions.

What Part of the Deltoids Does the Shoulder Press Work?
By Jeremie Guy Updated May 21, 2019

While the shoulder press focuses primarily on two portions of the deltoids, or shoulders, it also works a plethora of other muscles. Your trapezius, triceps and rotator cuff muscles all have to work in conjunction with your shoulders for this exercise to be done. Your goals will dictate how you do the exercise, and if you're trying to increase strength, do two to six sets of four to eight reps. For endurance, try two to three sets of 12 to 16 reps; for general fitness do one to three sets of eight to 15 reps, says ACE Fitness.
The shoulder press works two of the three parts of your deltoid muscles — the anterior deltoid and the lateral deltoid.
Use Proper Form
The shoulder press can be done using barbells, cables and dumbbells. While the motions are the same, and most of the muscles activated are identical, this dumbbell version incorporates the top of the chest. Sit on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, positioned a little higher and to the side of each shoulder. Your palms should point the same direction as your nose. Keeping your wrists in line with your elbows, extend your arms above your head. Lower the weight and repeat.
Know Your Delts
The deltoids are broken into three groups: anterior, lateral and posterior. The anterior and lateral deltoids are used for the shoulder press. The anterior deltoid is the front of the shoulder, and helps raise the arms in front of the body and above the head. The lateral deltoid is the top and side of the shoulder, and helps lift the arms out and press weight above the head. The posterior deltoid is in the back and is responsible for pulling weight toward the body, or swinging the arms back. It is not activated by the shoulder press.
Try the Alternatives
Aside from the options in equipment you have for the shoulder press, there are also other versions. The rotating dumbbell shoulder press — or Arnold press — puts a twist on the standard press, but still works the same muscles. Sit on a bench with dumbbells in each hand. Hold the dumbbells in front of your shoulder with your knuckles facing away from your body. Extend your arms above your head, moving your elbows out to the side and rotating your wrists until your palms face away from your body. Reverse direction, lowering the weight and repeating.
Add Some Cardio
Strength training is beneficial to your overall health, but cardiovascular activity is just as important. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a weekly minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity, cardiovascular activity. Regardless of your goals, you should never compromise correct technique. If you can't complete all of your reps with the proper form, lift a lighter weight.

Will Sturgeon's totalitarian waltz speed up in 2021?
by Tom Gallagher
THE NICOLA STURGEON of 2021 is no Adolf Hitler.
But she is in the vanguard of an attempt to weaken and discredit democracy that is being rolled out across the world. Democracy has arguably never been weaker since the German Fuhrer took his own life in May 1945 after almost beating Europe into insensibility…
There is mounting evidence that (in the words of Craig Murray) Sturgeon went to great lengths to try and 'fit up' her predecessor Alex Salmond. At least one powerful person at the top of the civil service seems to have been amongst accessories in this seeming act of personal vengeance, the police were less willing participants, and lately senior law officials have appeared ready to cast aside their neutrality to try and protect the First Minister's flank after her operation effectively backfires.
Due to its position within the democratic United Kingdom, Scotland is constrained from gravitating towards outright authoritarian rule. But the standardisation and synchronisation of political control – resembling the gleichshaltung which emerged in Nazi Germany – has made fearful advances. Party and state are increasingly fused, the opposition fears to oppose, much of civil society has been absorbed into the ruling power structure, local government is suborned, and private institutions are coerced into hailing the new political order.
The pandemic has been used to impose sweeping restrictions on public life that make Scotland one of the authoritarian outriders in the Western world. At the moment churches are closed, outdoor activities by citizens are subject to police swoops, and increasingly the life is being choked out of thousands of small businesses by ever-tightening restrictions on what they are permitted to do.
The impact of the pandemic on the normal workings of society has been felt far and wide. But in Scotland it has given a mighty push to normalise the abnormal in both daily life and politics. Hitler was able to do this thanks to the violent shocks Germany had endured in the twenty years before he came to power. Mobilisation of society for war, defeat and loss of territory, the rise of communism, endless economic troubles from runaway inflation to mass unemployment, weakened the hold of those old institutions promoting civility and restraint.
An 'anything goes mentality' increasingly took hold because given what it seemed the nation had already suffered, there wasn't much else to lose. It all meant Hitler could be portrayed as a providential figure; his ways were harsh and often extreme but many were persuaded that the times warranted them. A cult of resentment and grievance was spread through society by the latest mediums of communications even when Germany's traditional rivals were proving accommodating to the new order…
I hope I will be proven wrong but I am increasingly convinced that Nicola Sturgeon is creating a pre-insurrectionary mood by brazenly exceeding her powers, encouraging MPs to act as ruffians at Westminster, and above all diverting large amounts of UK pandemic business relief funding.
How keen the British government is to face up to the challenge of the separatists who have used the devolved institutions to entrench themselves in power, will probably determine whether Scotland can avoid becoming a new European trouble-spot in which political fanatics use old hatreds and gangster methods to get their way.
Most of the British governing classes eventually saw through Hitler and prepared Britain to resist his onslaught. There is insufficient evidence that decision-makers in London properly appreciate the gravity of the situation in Scotland. Unless this changes, Britain could face upheaval and tragedy as a result of territorial politics being cold-bloodedly harnessed behind an extremist purpose. Click here to read entire article.
Tom Gallagher is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Bradford. He is the author of Scotland Now, a Warning to the World (2016). His latest book is Salazar, the Dictator Who Refused to Die, Hurst Publishers 2020 (available here) and his twitter account is @cultfree54
There is plenty of food for thought in the above article. However, the idea that the opposition is afraid to oppose, puzzles me. It seems clear, all the way from the beginning of the ongoing totalitarian drive to rule by diktat, that all politicians are aiding and abetting the removal of our liberties, with the exception of an occasional intervention in London by – for example – Sir Desmond Swayne MP. The majority of parliamentarians, however, have supported the Government's restrictions on our personal and religious freedoms. To their eternal (not kidding) shame.
The leaders in Westminster and in the devolved institutions seem, self-evidently, to be of one mind – that we have a deadly virus which must be suppressed and until that (impossible) day, we must sacrifice our liberty, even to the point where God is counted among the "non-essential items". At least, that's been the cover story.
Personally, I believe that the virus is a means of introducing us to permanent totalitarian Communist rule – and God is always "non-essential" in Communist countries; just ask the underground Catholics in China. So, share your thoughts – are we blessed to have Nicola Sturgeon, such a caring leader who is simply trying to make sure we "stay safe" (she said sarcastically), or IS Scotland "one of the authoritarian outriders in the Western world" as Tom Gallagher suggests?

Martin Blackshaw, aka blogger Athanasius writes…
Dear Bishops of Scotland,
As we reach the tenth month of a relatively harmless Chinese Flu pandemic, the global governmental response to which will surely one day be recorded for posterity as the greatest crime ever perpetrated against humanity, I thought I would take the opportunity at the beginning of this year dedicated to St. Joseph to once again upbraid you for abandoning Christ's flock to the wolves.
You may recall that I wrote to you in July 2020 demonstrating, with sound statistical evidence, the falsehood of the official narrative regarding this virus, which the UK government had already downgraded to "non-life threatening" on March 19, the same day it mandated the closure of our churches with your approval on the very feast of St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church.
Despite the detailed information I provided at that time, together with a reminder that the Church's superior divine mission can never be made subject to secular interference, you have continued to impose the most unholy measures in the House of God in your zeal to appease the "Prince of this world".
For four consecutive months last year you closed the churches completely to your flocks. Over the same period you compounded the scandal by complying with an evil law forbidding Sacramental visits to the dying, thereby abandoning many souls in the most important last hours or moments of their lives.
Since the easing of that failed lockdown you have continued to collaborate with the new government dictatorship in the suppression of people's inalienable rights to freedom and the worship of God. In this regard you have limited Holy Mass to small groups, obliging the faithful to pre-book as though they were arranging a dental appointment and subjecting them to infantile admittance rules that have absolutely no precedent in Church history and no basis in established science – your unspoken "no mask = no Mass or Sacraments" rule standing out as singularly iniquitous before God.
If only this misplaced zeal were evident in defence of the rights of the Church and our Christian heritage when the secular authorities legislate against the divine and natural law or when Catholic politicians publicly trample the Church's moral teaching and then present themselves unopposed for Holy Communion, the faithful would scarce have cause to doubt your fidelity to Christ, Our Lord.
This tragically not being the case, however, it is the duty of all subordinate Catholics to call you out for the hypocrites you are; men who strain on a gnat while swallowing a camel, prelates apparently devoid of supernatural faith whose episcopal agendas, like that of Pope Francis, are more aligned with the naturalist doctrines of Socialism than with the divine doctrine of Our Saviour, whose Kingdom is not of this world.
Reading through the three Encyclical letters of the present Pontiff, one is struck immediately by the dearth of references to the immortal soul and the supernatural life. Everything is about this world, i.e., the climate, migrants, the poor, injustice, the marginalised, a brotherhood of man, etc. It's like reading the worldview of a Communist or a Freemason, not remotely in line with traditional Papal teaching.
Likewise your own mindset as most recently expressed in Bishop Nolan's 'Pastoral Letter for Day of Peace', here
This disgraceful document similarly emphasises the "new humanism" of Vatican II, to quote Pope Paul VI at the conclusion of that fateful Council in 1962, the bitter fruits of which subsequently led him to lament "the smoke of Satan in the Church" – more specifically identified by an exultant Leo Cardinal Suenens as "The French Revolution in the Church".
It is hardly surprising then that after almost 60 years of this conciliar destruction of the faith from within, we find you exhorting not to a restoration of all things in Christ, Our King, but to the embracing of the diabolic "Build Back Better" programme of a global Socialist elite presently engaged in the establishment of a New World Order of brutal totalitarianism that they variously describe as "The Great Reset" and "The New Normal".
Well did Our Lady of Fatima warn of the global spread of the errors of Russia so long as the Pope and bishops of the world refuse to grant her request for a public and solemn consecration of that country to her Immaculate Heart. Well did Sister Lucy describe the subsequent unfolding of the Third Secret chastisement in the Church as "apostasy from the top down". She also said (in an interview with an American historian in 1946) that Communism would spread to every country without exception; it is now here, aided and abetted by you bishops…
If ever the Scriptural warning that Lucifer often appears disguised as an angel of light were applicable, it is today in this "Build Back Better" doctrine of Socialism that promises a new humanity emerging from a programme of psychological warfare on the peoples of the nations, suppression of their inalienable rights and freedoms, destruction of their economies and a silencing of all legitimate opposition by means of media censure, arbitrary fines and police brutality.
The Bishops of Scotland
Where is your outrage, you who champion Vatican II's French revolutionary spirit of liberty, equality and fraternity? Why are you not speaking out forcefully against this diabolic assault on our way of life, against these criminal impositions in the name of a virus that has purportedly killed only 1.8 million of the estimated 70 million who die in this world every year?
Untold numbers around the globe are committing suicide in despair, countless thousands more are suffering mental health issues, incalculable numbers have seen their medical treatment for genuine life-threatening illnesses suspended, tens of millions are losing their employment, economies are collapsing, civil liberties are suspended, families are split and isolated, the elderly die alone and the worship of God is forbidden in the public domain while you, disciples of the "new humanism" of Vatican II, apostles of justice and peace, defenders of the poor and marginalised, remain conspicuously silent, your only utterances being to echo the fallacious "Build Back Better" doctrine of the Socialist despots responsible for such evil.
You of all people should know that the only way to "Build Back Better" in this troubled world is to restore all things in Christ, whose universal Kingship must be re-established everywhere, not least in the hearts of men, particularly men of the Church: For as Pius IX declared in Quas Primas: "…as long as individuals and states refuse to submit to the rule of Our Saviour, there is no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations. Men must look for the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ…"
Alas, this is not the sound doctrine you preach by your indifferentist "common home" vision of a world in which all religions and none collaborate in the creation of some future mythical paradise on earth, as though this place were not after all a temporary exile and a valley of tears to be traversed in the hope of one day arriving at our true eternal home in heaven.
The faithful need to see an end to this destructive Vatican II experiment and the cowardice it has engendered in the Shepherds of Christ's flock. Our Lord did not come into this world as a hippie to found a commune of earth worshippers and appeasers, He came to found His Catholic Church by His own precious blood for the salvation of souls, outside of which, declares the infallible dogma, there is no salvation.
Why do you no longer preach this divine truth, this certain reality? Is it because, like the ancient Latin Mass of the saints and martyrs, the kneeling to receive Our Lord on the tongue at Holy Communion, sermons on the four last things – death, judgment, heaven and Hell – and so many other holy traditional Catholic beliefs and practices handed down, it represents an inconvenient barrier to the new humanism of that so-called pastoral Council?
You need to open your spiritual eyes and see the devastation this new orientation of Vatican II has visited upon Our Lord's holy Church, which you have helped reduce to ruins over many years and which you now subject to the demands of inferior secular authorities, turning the House of God, a House of Faith, into a house of Covid fear and forbiddance.
You are the successors of the Apostles called by Our Lord to preach fearlessly, as they did, against sin and irreligion, the real plague that threatens humanity, not wring your hands over a respiratory virus that hardly compares with past deadly pandemics, and certainly not to the extent that requires your approval of vaccines produced from or tested with the stem cell lines of aborted babies, however remote in time.
Abortion, as you well know, is "a sin crying to heaven for vengeance", to quote John Paul II. It is therefore unconscionable that the present Church hierarchy should approve of vaccines produced or tested using the stem cell lines of murdered innocents, applying sophistry to undermine divine moral teaching that forbids the reaping of benefits from evil acts.
There is quite sufficient sophistry at work right now in those peddling the Covid-19 crisis that never was, your duty as disciples of the Lord is to expose this with the truth, not participate in it to the further detriment of the worship of God and the common good of humanity.
Having read your response to the Scottish government's latest January lockdown, your timidity was once again on full public display. Instead of using the divine authority invested in you by God to command and demand an end to this unprecedented and inhumane abuse of government power, your letter is best described as pusillanimous and embarrassing. It has to stop, for you are called to be Shepherds of souls and on that alone you will be most rigorously judged by the divine Judge.
In this regard I am reminded of the words of one brave prelate who, when persecuted by his confreres for defending the faith handed down from the poison of the conciliar new humanism, was asked why he acted as he did. His response is sobering:
"When I stand before my judge and He asks me what I did with my priesthood, I do not want to hear those terrible words "you have helped to destroy the Church along with the rest of them".
Sobering words indeed, and well worthy of your serious reflection, as are the following concluding statements:
"I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish." (St. John Chrysostom, Extract from St. John Chrysostom, Homily III on Acts 1:12).
"The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops." (St. Athanasius, Council of Nicaea, AD 325).

Nicola Sturgeon: Worship Virus, Not God – Bishops Must Refuse To Comply…
January 4, 2021 By editor in Politicians, Politics, Scotland, Uncategorized, United Kingdom Tags: churches, coronavirus, covid 19, lockdown, nicola sturgeon, scottish bishops, worship banned	61 Comments
Summary, Edinburgh Evening News (note: no mention of ban on church-attending)
Lockdown may last longer than January
Scotland's new lockdown may last longer than initially intended, Nicola Sturgeon has told MSPs.
A legal requirement will be in force to ensure Scots living in Level 4 areas remain at home as much as possible during January.
However, the First Minister told the Scottish Parliament that these changes will be kept "under review".
She said: "However, I cannot at this stage rule out keeping them in place longer, nor making further changes. Nothing about this is easy."
As expected by those of us who are totally cynical about the Scottish Government and its leader who is well overdue an Emmy Award for best Scottish TV Actress, Nicola Sturgeon has announced that we are going into full lockdown from midnight tonight. While Boris/England is agonising over whether or not to introduce another full-blown lockdown, Nicola Sturgeon – ever anxious to portray herself as the decisive-if-reluctant-bearer-of bad-tidings- leader, has plunged Scotland into another lockdown.
Frankly, I don't believe the propaganda about the NHS being in peril – but even so, that's not my problem. I've been paying into the NHS for years and I'm not one bit pleased that my contributions apparently mean nothing, that the NHS is not fit for purpose, it can't deal with a simple virus. It's not my job to protect the NHS. It's my job to be suspicious of Government and believe me, suspicious is the understatement of the year, since I can no longer describe myself as a free person living in a free country.
Sturgeon has the temerity to once again ban worship in churches, and the bishops will no doubt yet again, be obedient servants of the State. Then she has the added temerity to say that the most painful decision was the restrictions on schools and nurseries. Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up.
Catholic Truth calls on the Bishops and, indeed, all those in positions of religious authority from priests to religious superiors to bishops, to refuse to comply this time. No matter the legal consequences. We cannot replace the worship of God with the worship of a virus. Speaking for myself, if our priests decide to defy this unlawful and – I would say – blasphemous action, I will be at Mass on Sunday as I am required by God's law.
Our blogger, Athanasius, is preparing a second Open Letter to the Bishops of Scotland, which we will publish as a separate thread as soon as he submits it, within the next day or two, but in the meantime, please make clear your own position on this latest blow to our person and religious freedom. Are you going to sigh and accept it all – again?
Scotland's First Minister: Mask Rule For Thee, But Not For Me! Police Agree…
December 23, 2020 By editor in china, Health, Morals, Politicians, Politics, Science, Scotland, Uncategorized Tags: covid rules, face mask, first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon	48 Comments
From Police Scotland…
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We're aware of a photograph of the First Minister which appeared in The Sun, on 23 December, in which she was not wearing a face mask at a wake. The First Minister has acknowledged this inadvertent breach, for which she has apologised.
"We remind everyone of the requirement to wear face coverings in indoor public places for public health reasons. Police Scotland will not be taking any further action in relation to this matter." Daily Record…
A friend was telling me about conversations she's had with more than one member of the public recently, casual conversations in shops, mostly, where she's been amazed to learn that the person(s) hated wearing the mask, didn't actually need to because they were exempt, but were afraid that people would tell them off if they didn't wear one – afraid, too of someone reporting them to the police. Now they can rest assured that there will be no police action as long as they apologise. Yeah right.
On The Telegraph YouTube channel, there were sympathisers, with the point being made that plenty of other people do this (not wear a mask) so what's the difference if Nicola Sturgeon does it? Here's one printable reply… "The difference is, she makes the rules and fines normal people for not following them. People like you are the reason they're getting away with the [bleep!] they're feeding us.
Well, do you agree? Or were the police correct not to impose a fine for this "inadvertent breach for which she has apologised"... ?
Christmas Gift From Scottish & UK Governments – A Brand New Virus!
December 19, 2020 By editor in communism, Health, Scotland, Scottish Goverment, Uncategorized, United Kingdom Tags: christmas restrictions, lockdown, new strain of covid, nicola sturgeon, scottish government	36 Comments
This was inevitable. At the first mention of a possible easing of restrictions over Christmas, complaints were raised by "the experts" and those who are demonically keen to keep us all locked down and under strict surveillance, come what may. We were told that a drastic lockdown would have to be imposed in January, if we insisted on celebrating Christmas. "Too bad" was the silent message from those of us determined to mark Christmas as free people living in a supposedly free country. Then, hot on the heels of this defiant silence, came the expressions of a "fear" that there was a new strain of "the virus" coming to get us. I remember smiling a wry smile when I heard that, and thought "Christmas WILL be cancelled, after all". Who needs to know how to work a crystal ball, these days? Is there a new virus? You're asking me? Answer: not in a million years. I do not believe it. Not for a nano-second.
Now, there are plenty of other much shorter (1 minute +) clips on YouTube with Nicola doing her pitch for an Emmy but I chose the full blown message because I'm curious to know if other bloggers see what I see – utter insincerity. She really does deserve an Emmy. That is one actress. She'll be on Piers Morgan, Good Morning Britain first thing on Monday, be assured – he swoons over these Sturgeon Statements, misreads her "concern", believing it to be the real thing. Listen: her concern is to hammer home that she's not to blame for any of this, she's empathetic, she doesn't want to do this, sob, sob. But when it comes to "tough love", she's the queen. She knows what's good for us, sob, sob, even if it makes her unpopular, sob, sob. Gimme a break.
Well, you tell me… is there a new virus – or did the powers-that-be who are pulling the (purse) strings on this, decide that we might get too used to having our freedom (almost) back if the rules were relaxed for a few days over Christmas, and so the noose had to be tightened? That's my best guess – what's yours?
Covid-Christmas: Politicians Panic As Media Puts Pressure To Tighten Rules…
December 16, 2020 By editor in china, communism, Health, Uncategorized Tags: boris johnson, christmas, covid 19, nicola sturgeon, restrictions	37 Comments
It's truly terrifying to watch the the way the (entirely contrived) fear of "the virus" is continuing to be peddled by media hacks and career politicians like Keir Starmer, as evidenced in the above news clip. None of these people have lost a day's pay, remember, while many small business owners and employees are struggling and may lose their livelihoods. Remember, Kay Burley, and several other Sky News employees were caught breaking the Covid rules but lest you imagine that they were slapped with the same huge fines that the rest of us land in similar circumstances, think again; they've been suspended for a few months on – wait for this – full pay. That is, they've been sent off on holiday. Laugh? I thought I'd never start.
I'm certainly not laughing at the threat to remove the "Christmas carrot"… Having dangled the carrot of a few days of relative freedom over Christmas, there is every chance now that this will not happen, or, at least, that the restrictions will be tightened to make a show of being "responsible" – when, in fact, both the political class and the media are wholly irresponsible, lying to us about this horrible, but certainly not deadly, virus. "Surges"? "Spikes" – I'm still waiting, almost one year on, to meet anyone who has been diagnosed with this virus, and I'm still waiting, almost one year on, to meet anyone else who has met someone diagnosed with it. So, gimme a break. We're not ALL stupid. Last time I checked, the figures showed that of those who DO get his blankety blank virus, the majority – 99.97% – recover. That's the only number that counts… The top cause of death in the UK is heart disease – are we all to be fitted with pacemakers? Gerragrip. This wasn't a pandemic last March and it's not a pandemic now.
Yet, people are saying things like "I wonder what we'll be allowed to do" [over Christmas]; that is worrying. It demonstrates how quickly and easily the population has slipped into totalitarianism, accepting that the Government has the right to tell us what to do in our personal and religious lives. Should we check with our MP or MSP to make sure it's OK to go to church at Christmas? Leave out a snack for Santa? Yeah right. As Sir Desmond Swayne MP said on the floor of the House of Commons a couple of weeks ago: this is a very dangerous lesson to give the Government; that they only have to snap their fingers and we will give up our freedoms with nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders.
For pity's sake, fellow Scots, English, Welsh and Irish, find some backbone and fight back against this tyranny.
I will spend Christmas as I choose. What about you?
Boris Johnson: Devolution & Scottish Parliament "A Disaster" – You Bet!
November 21, 2020 By editor in communism, england, Europe, Health, Morals, Politicians, Politics, Scotland, Scottish Goverment, Uncategorized Tags: boris johnson, devolution, nicola sturgeon, scottish parliament, snp, Westminster Parliament	26 Comments
Boris Johnson has denied that he opposes devolution as he attempted to end a major row in Scotland caused after he branded the creation of the Scottish Parliament a "disaster".
In an address to the Scottish Conservatives virtual conference, the Prime Minister claimed his leaked comments, made in an online call to northern English Tory MPs, had not been reported "entirely accurately" and suggested he had been referring to the SNP's "abysmal" performance in government.
Mr Johnson was reported as telling MPs that devolution had been "a disaster north of the border" and was Tony Blair's "biggest mistake". His comments dismayed Scottish Tories, with the Holyrood elections just six months away and the SNP already on course to claim a majority and a new mandate for a second independence referendum.
In recorded remarks to the conference, Mr Johnson said: "I know comments I made the other day on devolution have been widely reported, leaked, not entirely accurately, but never mind. "But since no press were in the room, I'll give you my unvarnished view: the way the SNP have handled devolution in Scotland has been a disaster – from plummeting education standards, low business confidence and the lowest satisfaction ever in public services – their record is abysmal. "The key is to have policies to show how devolution can work for Scotland, the people in Scotland, rather than the SNP obsession with making devolution work against the rest of the UK." (Taken from The Telegraph platform on YouTube)
If anyone can specify the benefits to Scotland of Devolution, in everyday life, and the Scottish Parliament as a practical and effective tool of governance, I, for one, would be interested to learn and, if necessary, revise my opinion. At the moment, I tend to agree with Boris, although, frankly, it pains me to agree with him about anything. What about you?
Scotland's Dictatorship – Latest: 5-Tier System Of Rules Set To Cause Chaos?
October 23, 2020 By editor in Health, Politicians, Politics, Uncategorized Tags: 5 tiers, coronavirus, nicola sturgeon, restrictions, scottish first minister	77 Comments
As one commentator has written Boris introduced 3 tiers, so Nicola has to go better. You couldn't make it up!
That's one way of looking at it. What do you think – do these tiers or levels make a jot of sense to you? It seems to me, that this latest development in totalitarian rule is a recipe for disaster – just from a management point of view, never mind the continuing erosion of our civil liberties. What do you think?
England: Three-Tier System Introduced… But Is It POSSIBLE To Conquer A Virus?

Are you impressed with the way Keir Starmer, Labour Leader and Leader of the Opposition is "scrutinising" the Westminster Government's handling of the Coronavirus "crisis"? It seems to me that any parliamentarian who still thinks there is a "crisis" cannot possibly properly and fully scrutinise the Government and its medical and scientific "experts". But you may disagree. If so, let's hear it.
First, though, I need to make one thing clear; I sometimes receive emails from those who have been affected by Covid-19, either directly or indirectly (through family and friends) and our comments here are sometimes interpreted as dismissive of the gravity of the virus. I have replied with a reassurance that we do not deny that this is a real virus and a particularly nasty virus. Our concern is simply this: that the scientific experts having emphasised that most who become infected recover, it cannot be right, surely, for any Government (let alone the Governments of the entire world) to close down the economy and lock us into our homes. Then, when lockdown ends, to make us live under various restrictions – in short, removing our personal and religious freedoms, on the assumption that in this way a virus – any virus – can be eradicated. If that is the case, why was this strategy not used years and years ago to conquer other viruses, notably the annual flu?
With that thought in mind, let us read your opinion about these latest restrictions in England – the "three tier" approach. We are told that Nicola Sturgeon is considering a similar system for Scotland although whether ours will be three or multiple tiers, remains to be seen, according to BBC Reporting Scotland earlier this evening. We'll find out several weeks from now – a clue that, as I think we all know, this new form of Government control is not going to end… It's here to stay (as the politicians themselves have admitted more than once) "indefinitely".
Are we all just going to roll over and accept this continuing totalitarianism?
Tyranny Tightens – Draconian Measures: Living In The UK "Like Being In Prison"…
September 22, 2020 By editor in china, communism, england, Fatima, Health, Our Lady, Politicians, Politics, Science, Scotland, supernatural, Uncategorized, United Kingdom Tags: boris johnson, covid-19 new restrictions, new normal, nicola sturgeon, rule by decree, scottish government, uk tyrannical government	59 Comments
England was plunged back into coronavirus pain today as Boris Johnson confirmed a long list of new lockdown rules – and warned they'll go on for "perhaps six months".
All citizens are being told to work from home if they can with immediate effect – and from Thursday, all pubs, restaurants and even kebab shops and takeaways must shut from 10pm.
Masks will become compulsory for shop and pub staff from Monday and taxi passengers from Thursday – while the fine for failing to wear one, or breaking the 'rule of six' on gatherings, will double to £200 for a first offence.
Only 15 people will be allowed to attend weddings from Monday and five-a-side football will be axed.
The PM declared Britain has reached "we have reached a perilous turning point" after the number of positive tests quadrupled in a month.
He warned there will be "greater firepower" and "significantly greater restrictions" if the measures don't work. He dismissed Tory calls to let people judge their own risk, saying: "Your harmless cough can be someone else's death knell."
But he stopped short of banning people from different households meeting up – as is the case for 13.7million people under local lockdowns – after a Cabinet row.
And despite the wave of restrictions he rebuffed Labour and SNP calls to extend the furlough scheme – which ends on October 31 putting millions at risk of redundancy.
He also told the 2.2million vulnerable people who shielded earlier this year that they still don't need to shield – except in specific local lockdown areas.
The PM warned the Army could be deployed to help boost numbers, saying: "We will provide the police and local authorities with the extra funding they need, a greater police presence on our streets and the option to draw on military support where required to free up the police."
However, it's understood troops would backfill for police rather than enforce the rules themselves.
And then the not even remotely thinly disguised threat…
He said: "If we fail to act together now, we will not only place others at risk, but jeopardise our own futures with the more drastic action we would inevitably be forced to take."
He went on: "We will spare no efforts in developing vaccines, treatments, new forms of mass testing.
"But unless we palpably make progress, we should assume the restrictions I have announced will remain in place for perhaps six months."
Click here to read the entire report, with details of the raft of measures being introduced… (Emphasis added).
Nicola Sturgeon is set to announce new rules for Scotland later this afternoon, which are likely to follow the above measures being introduced in England. Her statement will be published in the comments below.
We've discussed the changed nature of governance in the UK many times on this blog; the introduction of "rule by decree" – a feature of dictatorships – is now routine here. Clearly, tyrannical rule is tightening its grip. "The New Normal" – which, as we know, is a euphemism for Communism – has, to all intents and purposes, arrived in the UK. We have lost our freedom.
The need for the Pope to obey the Fatima request to consecrate Russia, cannot be over-emphasised. Let's all pray to that end.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Cree Earns U.S. Department of Defense Manufacturing Readiness Level 8 Designation
DURHAM, NC -- Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a leader in gallium nitride (GaN) RF devices, has earned the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) manufacturing readiness level eight (MRL 8) designation. Awarded for its production of GaN monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), this designation verifies Cree's ability to provide assured, affordable and commercially viable production capabilities and capacities for items essential to national defense. The designation was granted upon Cree's successful completion of the DoD's Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide Production Capacity Program.
"Cree exemplifies the mission-ready capability of a company that the DPA Title III office seeks," said Mark Buffler, director, Defense Production Act Title III Program within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. "The key objective of these public-private partnerships is the creation of assured, affordable and commercially viable production capabilities and capacities for products and materials essential for our national defense while strengthening the economic and technological competitiveness of the U.S. defense industrial base."
Led by an integrated program team (IPT) and jointly funded through a public-private partnership effort, the three-year, multi-phase GaN on Silicon Carbide Radar/Electronic Warfare MMIC Production Capacity Project was structured to assess and refine manufacturing processes necessary to support a full-rate MMIC production capability. The IPT was comprised of Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX) personnel, Cree engineers and manufacturing experts and select government consultants. The program was managed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy (MIBP) and administered by the U.S. Air Force, the executive agent within the DoD. Funded with $18 million in direct government funds and $3.5 million in Cree funds, the national defense program accounted for a total public-private partnership effort of $21.5 million.
Since 2010, Cree has shipped more than five million MMICs and devices, making it one of the largest U.S. suppliers of advanced GaN technology for both the DoD and commercial markets. During this time, approximately four billion device hours in the field have been accumulated with an associated, industry-leading FIT rate of less than 10 failures per one billion device hours, which validates the outstanding robustness of Cree's manufacturing process and resultant devices under fielded conditions.
"We are pleased to have been allowed to participate in the DPA Title III Program and are honored to have subsequently earned MRL 8 designation," said Dr. John Palmour, co-founder of Cree and chief technology officer, Power and RF. "This achievement clearly demonstrates the level of production-readiness that Cree's GaN manufacturing processes are capable of and is a testament to our leadership in the RF GaN industry."
Cree offers foundry services for development and production using GaN HEMT MMIC processes, providing design and test services on a case-by-case basis. Please visit www.cree.com/foundry to take advantage of Cree's RF GaN MMIC foundry processes.

Printer Repair | LynLINKS TECHNOLOGIES, Inc.
Because the replacement cost of a printer is typically the same or less than the cost of most hardware repairs, it is usually not cost effective to repair a printer.
For example, in most cases when a light is blinking on an ink jet printer and it won't stop blinking, it usually means there is a board malfunction that is too costly for repair. If you are unsure, please give us a call and we can let you know.
Certain commercial printers, such as thermal label printers for example, may be cost effective to repair. If you are unsure, please call us with your make & model number of your printer and we can let you know.


When Rosie tells me to do something, I listen. So, here's what I wore Sunday!
My had a couple seminarians and a lovely family over for a post-Mass brunch today. The little family had a one month old and were very generous about letting us have a chance to hold him. Our family is aching for a new baby, and holding that little boy was balm for our souls!
It reminded me of a piece of advice I'd read recently, suggesting that was to comfort a friend who is struggling with infertility is by letting them hold YOUR baby. So, so true!!
You two look too cute!! And thank you so much for the advice! I'm always concerned that bringing over a baby might make a couple struggling with infertility feel worse, so that is incredibly good to know that it can be a comfort to them.
Glad you got baby snuggles - so very precious!! I'll definitely keep that in mind, as I have quite a few friends who struggle with infertility.
aw, sweet mother/daughter pictures! Glad you got some snuggles in! HUGS!
