Tonight is ABC's hit show Modern Family continues with another new episode called "'ClosetCon '13." On tonight's show will we discover some of Jay's old skeletons at Closetcon'13. Did you watch last week's two-hour season premiere? We did and we recapped it right here for you.
On last week's episode the family attended the annual school fair and Phil had a big 20th wedding anniversary surprise planned for Claire at the fairgrounds, but unfortunately, she simultaneously had a surprise for him back at home. Gloria signed Jay up to be a fair cop for the day and it got worse when he was partnered up with his nemesis. Elsewhere, Mitch, Cam and Lily tried to enjoy the fair but Cam was in a funk from the football team's recent losing streak, and Haley had an awkward first encounter with Andy.
On tonight's show wWith some urging from Claire, Jay begrudgingly agrees to return to ClosetCon this year, and things get interesting when Jay is reunited with some old colleagues. Cam takes Mitch and Lily to the Tucker family farm for the first time and is excited to fold them into country life, that is until Grams pays an unexpected visit. And back at home, Phil, Gloria and the kids get into some mischief involving Jay's very delicate Apollo 13 spacecraft model.
We will be live blogging tonight's episode with all the up-to-the-minute details. So come back at 9PM EST and spend the evening with us. Make sure to refresh often to get the latest updates!
Tonight's episode of Modern Family opens with Jay and Claire checking into a hotel for a Closet Convention, Jay is upset over the prices and WIFI.
Cam and Mitchell are in Missouri, at Cam's Mom's house. Mitchell thinks Missouri is misery. He's not a fan of farming or "slopping the hogs."
Phil and his kids are at Gloria's. Phil discovers a mysterious room at Jay's house, it is always locked, but since he is out of town it is unlocked. The secret room is a small closet, full of Jay's collector toys and trinkets. Phil finds a 0 year old collector's edition or a Space shuttle replica. He drops it and it shatters.
Jay and Claire are working the bar at the trade-show. Jay is practically a celebrity, everyone seems to know him and love him. Jay is planning a prank on Claire, since she is a convention rookie. Jay and his friends are going to plant a fake skeleton in her closet in the hotel.
Cam is upset in Missouri. He thinks that Mitchell is judging him and making fun of how his family lives.
Haley and her sister are Alex are fighting over the pizza delivery guy, they are both in love with him. Gloria tells them that they are sisters, and they can't fight over boys, "sisters over Misters." Gloria's advice is a little too late, they have already glued their heads together with air plane glue.
Back in Missouri, things are getting even more miserable. Cam's Grandma arrives at his Mom's house, and she obviously doesn't know that Cam is married. He introduces Mitchell as a "farmhand named Bud" and kicks him out of the house.
Claire comes back to her hotel room early and finds Jay alone in the room with a woman named Rita. Jay is scared that Claire knows about him and Rita's deal. Twenty years ago Rita helped Jay try to get rid of Phil, by offering him an amazing job on the other side of the country (it obviously didn't work). Claire hides in the hallway and listens to their conversation about the get-rid-of-Phil deal.
In Missouri Mitchell is preparing to take Lily to a hotel, he doesn't want to stay with Cam if he has to pretend to be "Farmhand Bud." Before he can leave the tornado warning horn goes off, and he can't leave because there is a tornado coming.
Cam, Mitchell, his Mom, and Grandma are stranded together in the storm cellar together. Cam breaks to his Grandma that he is gay, about to marry Mitchell, and that Lily is his daughter. She is less than thrilled.
Phil is video chatting with his father, he is helping him put the Apollo 13 replica back together. He is trying to fix it before Jay comes home. Gloria is busy trying to unglue Haley and Alex's hair.
Back at the Closet Convention, Claire reveals to Jay that she knows his secret, she thinks he had an affair with Rita. Jay reveals that his secret is that he tried to get rid of Phil. Claire is irate. But, the way that he sees it they are even, seeing as how he knows Claire called immigration on Gloria a few years ago. Once they settled their differences, Jay admits that he did make out with Rita once though.
With an inspirational pep-talk from his Dad via video chat, and the support of his kids and Gloria, Phil manages to successfully reassemble Jay's Apollo 13 replica.

Loss for India – tragic for Husain
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Odishatv Bureau On Jun 9, 2011 - 6:20 PM
New Delhi: Friends and admirers of M F Husain were on Thursday at a loss of words at the demise of the painter famously dubbed `Piccaso of India` and angry at the fact that he had to die in a foreign land.
From contemporaries Kishen Khanna and Anjolie Ela Menon to younger artists like Jitish Kallat a sense of shock, disbelief and grief prevailed among the art fraternity which mourned the death of the 95-year-old painter, a long time associate for many who said they found it difficult to visualise an art scene without the maverick.
"I knew he was in hospital for some time but am very sad to hear about his demise. Husain was a very, very close friend. I knew him long before his first exhibition in 1954," Khanna, a close friend and fellow painter of the Progressive Art movement, told PTI.
Husain along with F N Souza had founded the Progressive Art movement in India in the 1960s and had invited Delhi-based Khanna, who worked as a banker, to be a part of it.
"He had given me several paintings and we had exchanged our paintings. After I left my bank job we used to meet often and talk and discuss. He used to visit me in Kanpur and in Chennai," Khanna said.
Jatin Das, who has known Husain since the 1950s, remembered the barefoot-bohemian painter as his "very very dear friend" but said the people of India should be sad that his desire of settling in India remained unfulfilled as the government did not assure him security.
The artist was living in exile after death threats issued to him for his controversial paintings of Hindu deities.
Another well-known painter Anjolie Ela Menon could not hide her shock when she heard the news. "I have known him for 55 years, he has touched my life in so many ways and so often.
It is difficult to visualise that he is no more and I had never realised that he had aged," she said.
Menon said, "After his so-called exile, people who revered and loved him had made it a point to go and meet him every year. Last week, when I was in London, his sons Shahbad and Shamshad had said that he was out of trouble but I now realise that he was ill. I met him in London and Dubai every year."
Contemporary artist Jitish Kallat said it was tragic that the painter had to breath his last in a foreign country.
"It is a huge loss for anyone related to the arts and also as an artist I almost feel as historically a huge canopy has been blown away from us, extinguished. I feel a sense of huge loss.
"It is also a tragic feeling that he had to die in a foreign country. It is a pain, I think it a black mark on the Indian state which has not understood the immensity and the relevance of Husain," said the painter.
Kallat describes Husain`s paintings as "a unique artistic talent which merged European modernism with the textures of post colonial modernism."

Born A Crime : Stories from a South African Childhood
by Trevor Noah
✅ Editor: Hodder & Stoughton General Division
VAINQUEUR DE LA THURBER PRIZEThe convincing, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, which fits into the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.One of the most brilliant comedians in the world of new voices, Trevor Noah is a light, yet lively foot of the observer's mind, the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and ideas drawn from the richness of experience gained in his relatively young life.As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides spectators from all over the world with a dose of satire bites, but here Noah turns his attention inward, giving his readers a very personal, sincere and humorous look at the world that has shaped him.Noah was born of a crime, the son of a white Swiss father and a black mother Xhosa, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison.The living proof of his parents' indiscretion living proof, Trevor was mostly kept inside for the first few years of his life, bound to the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any time, take him away.A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born of Crime, tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing up in an agitated young man who finds it difficult to find his place in a world where he was not supposed to exist.Born of Crime is also the story of this fearless, rebellious young man and the religious fervour of the mother – a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens his own life.If valid on caterpillar tracks for dinner during difficult times, to be thrown out of a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive life to death, the traps of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive spirit and unfailing honesty.His stories interweave to form a personal portrait of a rare childhood in a dangerous, moving and unforgettable time as the best memories.

Five Places Where You Can Get a 9th Month Abortion NOW!
You are here: Home / Albuquerque / Five Places Where You Can Get a 9th Month Abortion NOW!
Since this week's Presidential Debate, which sparked a national conversation on the matter of late-term abortions, we have been inundated with requests for information about late-term abortion facilities and practices.
Below are FIVE places where women can get abortions through the NINTH MONTH of pregnancy, RIGHT NOW!
New Mexico is the "Wild West" for late-term abortionists because there are essentially no laws restricting the practice or regulating it. This facility is the largest late-term abortion facility in the U.S. It uses the Induction Abortion technique for most late-term abortions, which is a modified "partial birth abortion" procedure. Documentation exists that provide details of a severely botched 35-week abortion there in 2011, which ruptured the uterus of the patient.
Like New Mexico, Colorado law allows for abortions through all nine months of pregnancy. Hern has written text books on abortion and even invented new abortion instruments over his long career. According to a Federal Court lawsuit filed in Colorado, one patient suffered a horrific THIRD TRIMESTER dismemberment abortion complication in 2013, wherein a four-centimeter slightly curved section of bone from her aborted baby's skull was left inside her and became imbedded in her uterus. She may never bear another child.
Haskell has been credited with inventing the partial birth abortion procedure, although that claim is in dispute. Haskell's abortion facility has had a number of documented botched abortions. Most recently, information surfaced that his facility conducted a forced late-term abortion on a woman who was incapable of consenting. He has had issues maintaining his abortion facility license since he cannot qualify for a hospital transfer agreement as required by law. He currently operates under a variance that allows him an exemption from the transfer agreement requirement.
While late-term abortions are inherently more risky than the first trimester variety, LeRoy Carhart is among the worst late-term abortionists in the nation. He is responsible for the deaths of two late-term abortion patients: Jennifer Morbelli, 29, who died of complications to a 33-week abortion on February 7, 2013, and Christin Gilbert, 19, who died from a third trimester Carhart abortion in Kansas in 2005. Numerous life-threatening botched abortions have characterized the past few years of his career. Carhart has been subpoenaed by the House Select Panel on Infant Lives, which suspects Carhart has illegally trafficked in aborted baby body parts and had babies born alive at his abortion facility.

UPDATE: (12/2/2016) LeRoy Carhart has stopped working for Germantown Reproductive Health Services! Read more about this developing story!


Noob member here! Great trees on the site and looks to be a wealth of knowledge here as well.
I live around Tallahassee, FL. Looks like Jim's old stomping grounds but do now know him. I've started to collect some trees by way of yamadori, local nurseries, gifts from a friend and the local club for my growing collection of very very very pre-bonsai material. Everything has been deciduous except for a juniperus virginiana that may or may not make it to a bonsai pot one day. Everything is planted in oversized pots to mature a while. Some of these will be moved to a raised bed by this time next year.
I realize there is no pine in panhandle of Florida that makes great bonsai material and this experiment could be a huge waste of my time. That being said I'm going to try anyway. I know there is tons of information about the JBP, mugo and other more traditional/popular pines out there but I want to concentrate on local species because they are the trees I know and love!
There are two species of pine that I would like to collect during late summer. The first is what I think is the Shortleaf Pine the second is the Spruce Pine. Both these species have relatively short needles and both grow locally in great numbers. These would likely be styled in more of a medium size bonsai such as 24 - 36 inches (46 - 91 cm).
I've got what I think is one of the shortleaf pines already marked. It's still only about a foot tall with lots of branching down low growing in full sun. The needles are only about an inch long in clusters of 3 so I'm not completely 100% on it being a short needle but it's the closest match I've been able to find based on needle length and cluster number.
I was planning on treating these like the JBP as far as what to do and what time of year to do it. Anyone think this is bad plan or have any fist hand experience with any pines similar to the Shortleaf or Spruce Pines?
Both of these will make decent bonsai. I'd suggest concentrating o the Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) rather than the spruce pine, though because te bark on the spruce pine is quite boring.
FYI, though, P. echinata needles are USUALLY in pairs and only occasionally in threes.
Spruce pine needles can be smaller than shortleaf pine, but they're thinner, too and not as attractive.
I do wonder where you have found spruce pine in "great numbers" around Tallahassee. It is a tree of the hardwood forests and usually is limited to an isolated specimen or two in beech-magnolia climax woods. I think I had three of them on my 40 acres of woodlands in North Leon County.
Don't ignore the loblolly pine P. taeda; you will occasionally find clumps of these with quite short needles and they do reduce. A blessing of the loblolly is that thay do backbud after severe pruning.
Thanks for the reply Jim. I live on an acre in the Wakulla Springs area and have 3 large spruce pines in my yard. One of them is probably 6 foot in diameter. They are pretty common in the area but certainly not as common as other pines around. I have only been able to find smaller ones growing in the shade and none have the branch placement to make for a good project tree.
I still have loads to learn. Being a young tree it may have much smaller needles than the mature pines or the same species so it may not be a shortleaf variety of pine all. I had read that they are normally found with 2 needles per cluster also. Looking at the pointed bud, it does look more like the P. Taeda than the P. Echinata (perhaps it just hadn't opened in the photo of the Echinata?).
This is a photo of the pinch of needles I was trying to identify the tree with. I'll get a shot of the actual tree in the next couple of days.
Those look like loblolly to me. With careful pinching of candles it can make a nice medium to large bonsai.
You're a lot farther south than I was; all sandy soil, while I had all Georgia red clay.
Jim, Thanks for the ID and the suggestion on the water elm. I've got a american hornbeam (ironwood) that will make a pretty good looking slant style one day but still has a long ways to fill out.
I'll do more research on the loblolly. With the needle reduction being so drastic I didn't think it fit the descriptions online. Nice to hear you mention they can be nice bonsai trees and will back bud some. A friend also said they make pretty good trees to work with.
Ok this is the pine that I was considering collecting. As you can see the trunk is still pretty small and not all that much movement in it but the tree has a lot of branches to work with. Like Jim suggested the plan for this would be like 30" or so maybe.
One day 20 years from now I'd like it to resemble a tree like this...100 year old Scots Pine by Walter Pall.
Not talking about the species of tree ever getting to look like the goal but this particular tree itself.
1. Would this tree make a fair choice to get to the goal or should I pass for an older tree even if it only had branching more at the top?
2. If this tree was collected what would be the best plan of action to reach the goal?
a) Leave the tree as is to grow until reaching 40" or so. Remove the existing leader to get some taper.
b) Select a few branches now that will stay either as sacrifice branches or branches to be part of the final design and remove the rest. Let the tree grow for a few years.
c) Leave the branches right at the base of the trunk as sacrifice branches to get some size on the trunk. Remove the upper 2/3's of the branches except the leader for the tree to put energy towards achieving the height desired.
This will be going in the ground even if collected. Just at my house so I can keep an eye on it.
Hello Mike. To achieve a tree like the one posted, you need to start with material similar to that size. You can grow your little Pine in the ground to beef it up but it will take many years to achieve your desired size and appearance.
If planted in the ground, it takes a lot of skill to produce good taper and branch setting. Give it a go though.
Great question. I am looking forward to hearing others advice. I think the material has potential.
My instinct would be to start by focusing on the roots when you transplant. Try to keep as many as possible since you are not trying to fit in a pot yet and put wire Tourniquets around any larger deeper roots that won't have any place in the final design. This will let the tree shed the roots at it's own pace and cause swelling near the base of the tree (right where you want it). I would also recommend planting in the ground in a pond basket (or wire mesh basket) so that every couple years you can rip out any roots that have become too long. Both of these techniques might be overkill, but I'm just throwing some ideas out there.
Another question that I am curious to hear others comments on is: how should he reduce the whorls (multiple branches emanating from the same point on the trunk) in order to reduce the risk of inverse taper. I am studying the picture of the "goal bonsai" in 20 years and it looks like there are place where there are two and maybe three branches coming out at the same point, but it is hard to tell. Should sacrifice branches be avoided when they share a whorl with a branch intended for the final design?
Sorry for the difficult young material in question and the photos could be better I know. Other than yamadori or trees dwarfed by nature which we don't really have here in North Florida other than a few sparse trees that are on the coast. Which I have begun to look for but haven't found anything promising yet. Normally by the time the tree is close to that size in diameter most of the shorter lower branches have already died off. I'll see if I can find a tree that's a couple years older with a good spread of branches.
Mike, judging the candle growth, it is probably a little late for collecting. It would be better before they elongate.
Do you mean for this season or that this tree is past the point of being a good tree to work with at all?
Mike, late for this season.
I'm sure he means the season.
I am in central Florida southeast of Orlando. I have a Sand Pine, Pinus clausa as a bonsai. It's a two needle pine. It's very hard to collect due to very sparse and broadly distributed roots but it can make an interesting bonsai but not a JBP look alike. I've had mine about 11 years and it has doubled in trunk thickness and has developed interesting bark. Supposedly it is a short lived tree in the ground so we shall see how long it lasts in a pot.
Another Florida native pine I have as a bonsai is a Slash Pine P. Elloitti. Very long 2 and 3 needle bundles. Its greatest feature is very rugged bark in a fairly young tree. Mine is about 14 years old. I am growing mine as a weeping bunjin. Normally a lumber tree with patience it can be grown into very contorted shapes but it will always have long (10-16 inch) needles. The bark however is absolutely superb.
Both of these Florida pines like to receive a lot of water (more than JBP) and lots of fertilizer.
I have kept these two trees for over 10 years but for some reason have been totally unsuccessful collecting others.
There are a few other bonsai artists in North Florida with Sand Pine bonsai (very similar to Spruce Pine) but not many. It is a rare bonsai. A couple of people in south Florida have Slash Pine mostly as big bonsai.
I'd love to see a Pinus echinata (Shortleaf Pine) (2 and 3 needle) as a bonsai. Years ago I styled a full size P. echinata on my Father-in-laws front lawn of his farm as a full size bonsai and it looked great.
Try these different trees and don't be afraid to grow from seedlings. Florida trees grow rather quickly, in a decade you may have something impressive.
Should sacrifice branches be avoided when they share a whorl with a branch intended for the final design?
In general i think one should avoid more then one branch on the same hight.
But it is not necessary to remove all at once, look closely how the taper is developing and act before a bulge is appearing.
Thanks everyone for your input. Rob, sounds like you've had some pretty good success with your two native pines. I expect to be heading to one of the barrier islands today for a day in the sun and will scout around for some potential trees then. I know a few places where the sand pine (Pinus clausa) is the dominant pine so hopefully I'll be able to mark one of those for collection later on.
Anyone have any idea about the summer dormancy I've heard about around August? Too risky to try or has anyone had success collecting pines during that time? I know it was 10 years ago Rob but if you can recall do you remember what time of year you collected your sand pine (Pinus clausa)? I don't mind waiting until late January if August is out of the picture. I have plenty to do between now and then.

Try ground layering the pines to assist with the success in collecting. Mine was collected in January (semi-dormant period). That is also when I repot.
I acquired a pine when I lived in New Orleans, and I was told it is a clausa. I was very attracted to the needle color. Now I have moved to Virginia Beach a year and a half ago. I have had this tree for almost 3-4 yrs but it has always looked very unhappy, not vigorous, a lot of browning of needles, very sparse needles, random die back of small branches. The tree was planted in a regular 2 gallon planter and was severely root bound when I first got it, but I did not have enough courage to repot and trim the roots. Finally this spring I did repot but I was not very aggressive about trimming roots. Is there anything else I can do to make this guy heathy. How doy you treat it as far as general care? like JBP or white pines? what type of soil do you use? Any other advise is appreciated. I hope I do not offend anybody by starting a new topic in this thread, I thought it is related to Florida native pine so it is OK.
I'm afraid I have no input on the care of your pine but just wanted to say this isn't "my" thread. I hope others with experience with the native pines will chime in too. Think sand dunes for the Pinus clausa in sandy, infertile, dry soil...at least in this area. Hopefully Rob will be able to provide some care tips from his experience with them as bonsai.


When life expectancy is measured in seconds and help is minutes away, will you know what to do? In our uncertain lives, that is a question that we all need to be able to answer a resounding, "Yes!" to. Dark Angel Medical, LLC, is proud to offer training and instruction in the use of the D.A.R.K. The Direct Action Response Training course fills a niche between military self-aid/buddy care training and civilian EMS training and is geared towards those with little to no medical training or background. It provides the student with critical, need to-know information, which can be utilized in a myriad of situations and stresses the 'you don't know what you don't know' principle as well as our own principle of "Simplicity Under Stress". The course is 2 days in length with a total of 16 hours of classroom work to include slide presentations, videos, question and answer sessions and hands-on practical skills application.
Minimum age 16 (with written approval of parent/guardian).
SGC Fee of $50 for non-members and $25 for members will be collected on the day of the course.


Junk Science? Number 25: Further study asks "Does prostate surgery do more harm than good"?
A new study has confirmed the results of one presented in Cancer Watch a few months ago, suggesting that prostate surgery was a complete waste of time.
This second study (New England Journal of Medicine) was led by Dr.Timothy Wilt of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine. It followed 731 men diagnosed with prostate cancer for ten years. Some had surgery, some did nothing.
At the end of the ten years 47 per cent of the 'surgery' men died during the study compared with 50 per cent of those having nothing. This difference is not deemed statistically significant.
However, importantly, men who choose to do nothing are only half as likely to suffer from urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
Importantly, only 3 per cent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer actually died from it. Whether they had had surgery or not! The rest died of other causes!
When considering these findings men have to consider the accuracy of the screening PSA test too. Increasing numbers of men have had treatment when they did not even have the disease.
I have had cancer for six years.
The most important thing I've learned is the most vulnerable patient is the ignorant patient; and that is why CANCERactive is the best cancer charity there is. The charity understands this.
Forget women running around in pink bras raising even more money for charities who frankly still haven't come up with any answers. CANCERactive empowers the patient. I recommend it, and the Rainbow Diet, to every cancer patient I meet.
I regularly run half-marathons and am very healthy and active. This is in no small part because of what I have learned from the CANCERactive website.
The Rainbow Diet is by far the most sustainable and well researched cancer diet out there and believe me I have tried many!!!
The only way to give yourself the best chance of survival and quality of life is through knowledge.
For example, sadly Doctors don't always make the right choices and to know something about the drugs you are being given is crucial. CANCERactive tells you, warts and all.
I am also a big fan of so called 'complementary and alternative medicine' but you need to know the pit falls. Again, CANCERactive tells you the truth – when there's research and when there isn't.
Knowledge about cancer is changing everyday all over the world – it is wonderful, via the charity's research centre 'Cancer Watch', to know about those changes and the latest developments. They have told us things that appeared as front page headlines or in on other charities' websites only several years later.
Chris Woollams and his team dedicate their lives to helping cancer patients in a way no other charity does and, to me, he is a modern day hero.

The collapse of Dutch Mass attendance
This came via a reader.
Agensir.it:
Netherlands: religious belonging and attendance still decreasing. Only 6% of those who say they are Catholic attend Sunday Mass
51% of Dutch people over 15 years of age do not belong to any Church or to any religion whatsoever. Just released by the National Statistics Bureau (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek) as part of a survey of "social cohesion and welfare", this figure shows a further decrease in the religious belonging of the Dutch: in 2016, 49% of them stated they did not belong to any religion, in 2012 they were 46%. The believing minority is composed of 24% Catholics, 6% belonging to the reformed Church and as many to the Protestant Church, 6% to other confessions, 5% to Islam. 78% of Dutch people have never or hardly ever attended a religious service, 10% of them attend once a week (6% for Catholics), 3% go 2 to 3 times a month, and the same proportion attends one religious celebration/meeting a month; 7% go less than once a month. The figures change depending on the age range and sex: 71% of Dutch people over 75 years of age stated they are religious, 34% that they regularly attend a celebration in a place of worship. The less religious ones are young people aged 18 to 25: 32% of them are somehow connected to a religious group, and 13% of them regularly see their group. As to men, 46% of them belong to a religious group, while 52% of women do.
6% Mass attendance.

There is a major point regarding the salvation of souls which is often overlooked when discussing "attendance" of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. (There is probably a more accurate word than "attendance", but I cannot think of it off hand.)
It is a mortal sin to miss even one Mass on Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation.
If one dies in the state of mortal sin, one is condemned to hell. (This doctrine cannot be changed, even if thousands of priests or bishops or cardinals or Jesuits say or hint otherwise.)
Even Mass attendance statistics are Protestantized/politicized these days, rather than approached from the Authentic Gospel standpoint, which is the salvation of souls.
For those bishops and other clergy who have the duty of caring for the salvation of souls – if they do not inform baptized Catholics that they can end up in hell for skipping even one Sunday Mass (unless there is grave reason for missing Mass), they themselves have also committed mortal sin and will be condemned to hell (Ezekiel 33 et. al.).
Further, for those bishops like a certain auxiliary bishop on the Left Coast in America who loves statistics and falsely claim or hint that nobody ends up in hell – based on the above story, if only %24 of 17 million people in the Netherlands are Catholic, and if only 6% of those attend Mass regularly on Sunday, then it follows that at least 4 million people in the Netherlands are on their way to hell.
Can you imagine, as a bishop or priest, standing before God on Judgment Day and trying to explain how you allowed the loss of 4 million+ souls? And that does not even count the number of non-Catholics/anti-Catholics who denied Jesus and are also going to be condemned for doing so.
Now, in America, the likely number of people to end up in hell solely based on the number of those who regularly missing Sunday Mass is 43 million. And that number does not include weekly Mass attendees who promote or vote for Democrat politicians.
Jesus says in Luke 13 22ff that many people think they are going to heaven but *many* will in fact end up in hell. Many indeed.
(For the record, there may be a very good Cardinal in the Netherlands that is aware of these types of things.)
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the remaining Catholics that still attend Mass are traditional i.e. attend the Extraordinary Form or an Eastern Rite liturgy. I bet it is going to become a larger and larger percentage and perhaps the majority sometime soon, in many places.

Malta says:
You would think it would be better in once-Catholic France; it is not. Last time I was there I attended mass in an almost completely empty church.
https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/5-of-catholics-in-france-attend-mass
I suspect it will get worse as more scandals unfold and Bergoglio tries to turn the Church ever more left.
The ONLY future left for the Church is in such societies as the FSSPX and the FSSP. I attended masss once at the FSSPX chapel in Phoenix, Arizona, and it was full to the brim with young families, and Catholics who took their faith very seriously.
[I must object. The true hope are good diocesan priests, especially who use the traditional Roman Rite, who are also doing great work.]
MacCheese says:
"Further, for those bishops like a certain auxiliary bishop on the Left Coast in America who loves statistics and falsely claim or hint that nobody ends up in hell "
I hear this from time to time yet I have never seen this claim or hint from him. Can you provide a link to this alleged claim from the Bishop?
Henry Edwards says:
Knowing nothing but hearsay about the Church in Holland, I wonder what percentage of the Dutch can find a valid Mass to attend.
Search YouTube for "Bishop Barron Hell" and the video where he makes the claim will come up.
Over the next decade, Utrecht archdiocese will close down most of its 280 churches. Less than 15 churches will remain, according to Cardinal Wim Eijk.
Talking to Gelderlander.nl (September 15, 2018) Eijk disclosed that 1 in 10 of his parishes is already insolvent.
After Second Vatican Council, the Netherlands were considered by the liberals as the example to emulate in realising the "Church of the Council". Now about 173,500 out of 3.5 million nominal Catholics attend Sunday Mass. Almost all of them are elderly.
In 2014 Eijk still believed that by 2028 less than 30 of his parishes would remain. Four years later it became clear that he was too optimistic.
(https://gloria.tv/article/4DHQC6g1ubFjB1aVM1LEEbk2j)
I don't know where to start, or how to start…
But I am afraid that most (Catholics) people, even in Europe, let alone outside, have even closely a real picture about the terrific high level of decadence of once Christian Europe.
Holland and Belgium were for a certain time, true bastions of the Catholicism.They have had great saints, priests, teachers, monks, nuns, theologians, writers, missioners… But, that was so for a long time, but that time ended also a long time ago. At least, surely, about one hundred years ago.
(Remember the masonic movement around, and very probably also inside the wals of Rome at the beginning of 20th century…- https://katholisches.info/2018/10/23/das-geheimnis-der-roemischen-trilogie)
One must know also that the Netherlands owns a very strong lutheran-calvinistic mentality, since, wel…, a long time ago… It is not widely known that any true Dutch Catholic intellectual, high educated man, especially in politics and other important state sector, made no chance to be a part of it. At least not someone who could be on very important chair.
In the 1920s-1930s-1940s-1950s, in Holland and Belgium, and broader, of course, not forget France and Germany, there were already forces who actively worked on undermining the true Catholic Church and Faith. They public endeavor and goal was of course so-called oecumene, and they began with nothing less than the Holy Scripture.
In short, the last true Catholic Bible, translated and edited by many great Catholic priests scholars and theologians, with many apologetic footnotes and references to Latin Vulgate of st. Jeronimus (which is the only official Bible of RCC), printed and published by Catholic publishing theological society called "Petrus Canisius Stichting" in 1939 and 1941 the third edition, had to be forbidden for printing and banned because such Bible was simply too Catholic! De "forces" have managed somehow from that year on to stop not only printing, publishing and selling of already printed Bible, but they have even succeeded in abolishing the existence of that whole Catholic society "Petrus Canisius Stichting".
Shortly thereafter, they started with producing much more "ecumenically" inclined texts in the bible that were called "Catholic", and later they converted the true Catholic society "Petrus Canisius" into a neo-catholic society called "St. Willibrord Bijbelstichting", which since then produces neo-vulgate neo-bible, that you easily can find online here – https://rkbijbel.nl/kbs/bijbel/willibrord1975/
(I have been looking for three long years to get anyhow an old piece of the original "Petrus Canisius" Bible, and God has heard me this summer. I have found it one day in our local parish Church, at the monthly "selling-old-books-day", among 50.000 other books! Btw. our parish church is a typical NO feel-good business, where I cannot be a part of for 2 years long already. Since then I am driving sometimes a lot of kilometers on each sunday to attend a TLM, tha Holy Mass of all Times.)
Their kind of so-called neo-vulgate bible is actually something that has not accidentally preceded the creation of Novus Ordo, the creation of the new way of praying from Breviary and the new kind of Catechism. Think here especially on their own masterpiece of heresy, in fact, apostasy, so-called "New Hollands Catechism" from 1969. If one don't really know what peace of dissension that really was, one should find that out. Only then could man see and understand how badly not so small number of theologians, bishops, priests,… who were considered as respected Catholic man… were deceived by the false spirit.
In the end, why be surprised when such people like Chardin, H. Kung, K. Rahner. E. Schillebeecks, Y. Congar, W. Kasper, and many others similar or worse,… are still today for many, the best Church intelligentsia-team ever?!
And, if they are talking about the 6% of the NO goers in the Netherlands, I am afraid this statistics does not give a true picture of what it wants to present.
Sancte Petrus Canisius, ora pro nobis.
Sancti Martyres ab Gorkum, orate pro nobis.
Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis.
Sancta Dei Génetrix, ora pro nobis.
Sancta Virgo vírginum, ora pro nobis.
AlanLins says:
Malta: My wife and I went to France in May of 2017. Everything I saw made me believe that the Catholic faith was dying in France. We rented a car for part of our trip. We drove north and west of Paris, passing through many small towns. Near the center of each town was a Catholic Church. From what we could tell, Mass was celebrated there one or two times per month. I chatted with this about one of our hosts at a B and B. The answer? "No priests!". When we got home, the following video popped up on my Facebook feed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb0sbLn2V-o&t=327s
Notice the number of young people. They are the future.
I have great hope for the future. TLM's are the way to the future.
e.e. says:
What percentage of Catholics in the USA attend Mass any given week? Maybe 25%?
My parish (a middle of the road NO parish) has been slowly decreasing in attendance for many years. The demographics of the neighborhood changed and Catholics in the area decreased, the story of many central city parishes all over the country. But it's been a gradual decrease, a family here and a family there leaving. Over the past couple months, the decline has been obvious and the church is noticeably more empty. Are they leaving because of the scandals? Because of something else? I don't know, but it's clear that suddenly a noticeable number of parishioners stopped regularly attending Mass.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle…
My brother spent a semester in Europe during the early 1990s. I had to ask him, "Is it true the only people going to church are women, small children, and old men cramming for finals?"
Seriously, he said that was basically his experience. Looks like not much has changed. I have also heard that church attendance in certain Canadian provinces like Quebec is very low compared to the United States (I live in the Southern United States, and I think church attendance is higher in the South than the Northeast (sorry Fr Z, I am not experienced enough with the Midwest)) . I am told Quebec has many beautiful churches, and many are empty on Sundays.
Gaetano says:
Further evidence that entire schools of 20th Century theology – Kung, Rahner, Schillebeecks, Congar, etc. – should be written off as a complete loss.
Simon_GNR says:
Over say the past 30 years has no-one been teaching young Catholics that it is a serious sin to miss Sunday Mass, or on a Holy Day of Obligation, without good reason? Why are those being brought up in the faith so poorly catechised? It's scandalous that the disciplines of the Catholic faith have been so neglected in the recent past. The blame for this must be laid at the door of bishops and priests who have failed to "hand on the Catholic and apostolic faith". Shame on them!
Dismas says:
@Gaetano – Losses!? Rest assured that the intended object of those schools have been enormous successes!
For the other side.
The springtime of the Church and the fruits of Vatican Council II! Father, while I don't entirely disagree with your red comments to Malta, the SSPX kept the flame alive while being ostracized as schismatics and heretics, with Archbishop Lefebvre and the others also suffering an unjust excommunication. Meanwhile the majority of diocesan priests just accepted it, or didn't agree but either kept silent or went along to get along. True, tradition will not be fully recovered until the diocesan priests are able to and actually want to restore to the laity what is rightfully theirs, the SSPX will continue to be the bulwark. If, no when, the Church comes to its senses, the majority of that credit should go to the Society that has fought to keep even that ability to survive.
[A heck of a lot of long suffering and FAR MORE PERSECUTED diocesan priests kept that light burning. The real work will begin with the diocesan priests.]
I respectfully can't agree. That some diocesan priests were sent of into a hinterland parish, forced into early retirement, or otherwise had their reputation and character attacked is awful, yes, but they were few and far in between compared to the vast vast majority who simply captiluated. And that has led to the fruits of empty parishes described above. I don't think even those that were persecuted however can even be compared to actually being excommunicated. That isn't a difference in degree but nature. There would be no traditional orders today, nor any Summorum Pontificum that gives the diocesan priests the ability to recover tradition, if the Society was not there then and now.
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/issues/june-22nd-2018/archbishop-lefebvres-surprising-legacy/
"Would the liberation of the traditional Mass have been possible if Lefebvre had not carried out his threat to ordain bishops? The answer is almost certainly no, which leaves us with another paradox.
On that summer's day three decades ago, the most stubborn of pre-conciliar French prelates was preparing the ground for a new flexibility in the Church: one that allows Catholics unsatisfied by what they regard as the glib spirituality of Vatican II (though not rejecting its teachings) to 'pray like before the council'.
The least they can do, surely, is to remember Marcel Lefebvre in their prayers."

Review: Fleetwood Mac 'Live (Deluxe Edition)' – Revisiting The Expanded Double-Live 1980 LP
April 9, 2021 ~ kcorsini
*Photo of Fleetwood Mac's original, vinyl 1980 LP 'Live' taken by your intrepid blogger
There was a time, believe it or not, before the internet. In those dark ages, the only places to buy a ticket to a concert was the box office of the theater/stadium or to go to an "authorized" ticket selling outlet. Usually the places that sold concert tickets were record stores which was convenient since even I knew where they were and I was pretty geographically challenged in those days. I knew where places were located, but I didn't know street numbers. I had to give directions based on landmarks. "Drive straight on the street by the school until you see the big gnarly tree then turn right…" and so on. I was in high school, what did I know? While I had become a huge music fan in the late 70s, it wasn't until June of 1980 that I was able to attend my first concert. Def Leppard opened (their first tour), the Scorpions were next ("The Zoo" was the only track I knew) and finally Ted Nugent in a loin cloth was the headliner. Needless to say, I was hooked on live music from that moment on, despite the hearing loss caused by Mr. Nugent… For that show, I bought the ticket from my friend Matthew who had a conflict of some sort and couldn't attend.
Generally, that's how I got tickets early on. I bought them from friends. It wasn't until 1981 that I got the experience that every concert goer went through at least once back in the 70s/80s, I camped out overnight for tickets. Concert tickets generally went on sale at 8am the morning of whatever pre-chosen date they announced on the radio, usually months before the show. People would start to form a line for tickets the night before they went on sale. They'd have sleeping bags, food, lawn chairs… likely some beer and there was always weed. Once again, it was my friend Matthew and I who somehow convinced our parents that late summer of '81 to sleep out for Van Halen tickets. We hadn't seen them yet and when Fair Warning dropped, we knew we had to see this band. We were camped out in front of Tiger's Records in the suburbs of KC with a nefarious looking, "unwashed and slightly dazed" crowd waiting for the record store to open so we could get our "choice" Van Halen tickets (and boy, we did). There was this old hippy in line behind us… I say old, but I was a teenager, the guy could have been 25 for all I know. He certainly looked old to my teen eyes. We started chatting over a couple of beers and I asked the codger, "What's the best concert you've ever seen? What band is best live?" His answer evoked quite a bit of surprise in me, when he responded without hesitation "Fleetwood Mac." And this guy had supposedly "seen everybody." I didn't think to ask which tour he saw them on… The Mac may seem mellow to some ears, but my college roommate had all heavy metal albums with a couple of Fleetwood Mac LPs so they couldn't have been that mellow.
Fleetwood Mac's story is the thing of legend now. The Mac was formed by former members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers: guitar legend Peter Green with a rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass). Green was the star – he was the singer/guitarist – but he named the band after the rhythm section… prescient as they are the only members who stayed for the entire Mac career. Green, who sadly passed away last year, eventually left and that led to a revolving door of singers and guitarists. Eventually Christine Perfect joined on keyboards and vocals… and then married John McVie. After their then current guitarist Bob Welch split to go solo, the McVies and Mick Fleetwood were left to look for yet another replacement. They discovered a little band creatively named Buckingham-Nicks with guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham and vocalist Stevie Nicks. Their debut album didn't sell many copies (although I do have one on vinyl) but attracted the remaining members of Fleetwood Mac because of the album's producer, Keith Olsen. They were not only shopping for a guitarist, they were shopping for a producer. He gave them the Buckingham-Nicks LP as a "resume" of sorts. They hired him and offered Buckingham the job of singer/guitarist… he refused to accept unless they included Nicks in the band…
That lineup: Buckingham/Nicks/Fleetwood/J. McVie/C. McVie, known as their "classic lineup" now I suppose, was an almost instant hit. The first LP, which McVie refers to as "the white Fleetwood Mac album" yielded the hits "Rhiannon," "Over My Head," and "Landslide" amongst others. They say when a band does a self-titled LP in the middle of their career it's usually symbolic of a "rebirth" for the band… I'd say that was definitely the case here. They were bigger than they'd ever been. The success wasn't without cost however. During the recording of the follow-up, one of the best selling LPs of all time, Rumours, Buckingham and Nicks who were a couple broke up. The McVies' marriage also ended. All of those crazy passions and breakup recriminations found their way onto the album in songs like "Dreams" and "Go Your Own Way" and perhaps more positively on "Don't Stop." It was beyond a smash hit. I actually traded my brother Supertramp's Breakfast In America for his copy of Rumours. I think we both won on that trade.
What to do next? That kind of success usually breeds a lot of pressure to repeat it and I think Buckingham decided to take a creative left turn to avoid the pressure of that success. He was also highly influenced by punk rock and that also fueled his decision to make some changes to Fleetwood Mac's sound. The resulting LP Tusk was a surprise to a lot of people expecting Rumours 2.0. Tusk was (in my opinion) a sprawling masterpiece of a double-LP. While Nicks and Christine McVie continued to write and perform songs in the vein of the previous two albums, Buckingham went for a more experimental sound. Nowhere is that more evident than on the title track. The album didn't reach the successful sales numbers of Rumours, how could it have, and the other members of Fleetwood Mac were pretty upset with Buckingham who had helmed the project and even recorded some songs at home in his bathroom. The LP still sold 4 million copies – one to my brother who was always way ahead of everybody when it came to music – which sounds like a success to me.
The Fleetwood Mac tour for Tusk rolled through Kansas City a mere two months after my first concert (Nugent/Scorpions/Def Leppard) at the exact same place, Kemper Arena in the West Bottoms. Sadly, I did not see them on that tour. I still don't know if the hippy outside of Tiger's was talking about that particular show as his greatest concert. The review in the paper said they looked tired and only Buckingham and Fleetwood, who they said played off each other, were able to generate any excitement. They said it looked like Christine McVie was about to fall asleep at the piano. Cruel indeed, but let's remember you can't always trust the newspaper. I have to admit, I've never seen Fleetwood Mac in concert and that pains me. The closest I ever got was seeing Stevie Nicks solo on her Wild Heart tour with no less than Joe Walsh opening. She sang "Rhiannon" as an encore and it was sensational.
But lucky for me, Fleetwood Mac like many bands who have spent a lot of time and money in the studio recording an album, decided to follow Tusk with a double live LP, creatively titled, Live. I'm on record here at B&V for loving live albums. Many people have a differing view of live LPs… I had a college friend who complained to me once, in response to hearing Springsteen's Live 1975-85, that the live songs didn't sound enough like the studio versions. I said, "Uh, Stew, you should be looking for a greatest hits LP, not a live LP." Even Tom Petty said a live LP was just "your greatest hits sped up." But for me, the 70s and even the early 80s was the golden era of the double-live LP. Not every live LP broke a band wide open like Kiss' Alive or Frampton Comes Alive. Not every live LP made the list of "greatest live albums ever." But there were so many great double live albums where the band could stretch out a little and it gave you the experience of seeing them live. Everybody did double live LPs in those days from Skynyrd to Neil Young. LPs like Aerosmith's Live Bootleg or Fleetwood Mac's Live were solid, if not occasionally spectacular live documents of a point in time in the life of a band. I never bought into the critics who dismissed live albums as merely "tour souvenirs.
When I first bought Live in 1980, on vinyl, I was thrilled that they had some new songs on the album. "Fireflies" written by Stevie Nicks is one of their best tunes. She wrote it about the struggles and battles the five members had in creating Tusk. The band didn't breakup because of splits in the romantic entanglements but it almost did over the writing and recording of Tusk. Buckingham resurrected a Buckingham-Nicks chestnut, the rocking, "Don't Let Me Down Again" which sent me on a journey to find their debut LP. Christine McVie contributed the (somewhat typical for her) ballad "One More Night" which sounded like it was done in a studio. Likewise their Beach Boys' cover "Farmer's Daughter" also sounded like a studio outtake (turns out it was)… But I was so into Fleetwood Mac I was just happy to have those new tracks.
While Live wasn't a live album that was going to change your life like say, the Allman Brothers Live At the Fillmore East, it was a really good live document of one of the world's greatest bands at or near the peak of their popularity. Lindsey Buckingham's guitar skills on this album are insane! On songs like "I'm So Afraid" the solo'ing is mad good. He stretches out a Tusk track, "Not That Funny" to 9 minutes. I also have to say Mick Fleetwood's drumming is amazing as well. He's really under appreciated. I don't know if that KC Star newspaper review helped make those two performers jump out at me, but they leave an impression. I love that they do "Oh, Well" a track recorded before Lindsey and Stevie joined the band. There's a great selection from the three previous LPs this line up had put out from "Dreams," and "Over My Head," to "Over and Over" and "Sara." This lineup of the band always sounded so good and this LP is no exception. And as a bonus for me, "Over My Head" was recorded at Kemper Arena in KC… I probably know people that were in the audience. Hell my friends Bob G and Brewster were probably there and didn't tell me.
Today the Mac released a Deluxe Edition of Live and you know how we love our "deluxe editions" here at B&V. I've spent the last 8 hours doing nothing but listening to this version of the album and I really like it. For all the tracks on the original album – and the selection was great – there were so many more you could have wished for and they're now all on this expanded version. There's another 15 songs and there's no overlap (save one song), these are all different songs than the original. It elevates Live from a mere double-live album to something more akin to the aforementioned Springsteen Live 1975-85 or Petty's Live Anthology. It should be noted that there not only tracks from the 1980 tour, but a smattering of songs from as early as 1975 and as late as 1982 found here.
The deluxe stuff starts with maniacal version of "Second Hand News" with Lindsey and Stevie doing harmonies. "The Chain" is epic here… I always wondered why it wasn't on the original. They even go back to the early Fleetwood Mac stuff with "The Green Manalishi With The Three Pronged Crown," a track later covered by Judas Priest. What a great nod to Peter Green. Another Tusk track that I always liked, "What Makes You Think You're the One" sounds great live. "Gold Dust Woman," "Angel" and "Sisters Of the Moon" rank amongst my favorite tracks from Stevie Nicks and they're all on this expanded edition. Finally Stevie gets her "live" due. "Tusk" was always a hard track to pull off live, without a marching band, but I dig the version here even though it's accordion driven. Maybe all those old guys at the family reunions playing polkas paid off…
Christine McVie plays a very affecting version of "Brown Eyes." Her 1982 performance of "Hold Me" from Mirage may seem out of place here but man, I like it. Her track, "Songbird" is as beautiful live as it was in the studio. Call me a softy but I love that song. As an added bonus there are two more tracks recorded in Kansas City… I know, I can be a geek sometimes about stuff like that… The only song that seems superfluous is an extended version of Stevie's "Fireflies" that I'm not sure was necessary.
If you're a fan of live music and miss concerts or just a fan of Fleetwood Mac, you must check out this expanded edition. There's a chance many of you haven't heard the original so I believe this will be a treat for you. In this age of streaming, everyone should be going back and revisiting those classic, fabulous double-live LPs and this is no exception. Pour a glass of something you enjoy, turn this one up loud, close your eyes and maybe, just maybe you'll feel like you're at the show…and if you really feel it, hold that lighter up over your head and sing along.

..been waiting for this to drop since I saw it being released on the superdeluxe edition web site.
The BBC did a bit of a fleetwood mac night last friday documentary wise and there's a really good one about Christine Mcvee's influence. It's pretty much up to date because it has input from Mike Campbell & Neil Finn..
Worth a watch if you can get it..
kcorsini says:
I will seek it out! Thank you. I too had this one circled on the calendar… Always loved this band and this record! Cheers!
..apologies McVie.. or Perfect as she was named when she lived in Brum…

Iran's cyber war over 48 million smartphone users was sparked by protest demos
Iran's cyber war over 48 million smartphone users was sparked by protest demos. DEBKAfile, January 8, 2018
Tehran's Internet shutdown, its doomsday weapon for breaking up the new year's anti-government protests, was routed with astonishing speed.
The successful cyber campaign, waged against Iran by certain Western and Arab intelligence agencies led by the US, during the week-long protest rallies across Iran, is gradually breaking surface. Two new comments shed light on this contest and the future direction of Iran's protest movement after it petered out last Thursday.
Central Intelligence Agency Director Mike Pompeo corrected Fox Sunday interviewer Chris Wallace on Jan. 7, who noted that the wave of demonstrations was over. Pompeo put in firmly: "They are not behind us" – meaning that, according to his information, more are on the way.
And in Tehran, new Iranian laws have cut English classes out of the primary school curriculum after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ruled that learning English at an early age paves the way for the West's "cultural invasion." The Shiite theocracy is clearly engaged in another desperate bid to segregate the population from external influences. Khamenei hopes to achieve this by depriving the next generation of the essential key for accessing the world web – the English language.
But when every second Iranian holds a smartphone complete with apps in his pocket, totally shutting down social media communications proved beyond the powers of the regime's cyber experts last week. They tried and failed to block Iran's most popular Telegram app, which has 40 million users, in order to disrupt communications among the protest rallies.
Before the eruption of this upheaval, Western intelligence agencies had ranked Iran as the sixth cyber power in the world after the US, Britain, China, Russia and Israel. But when Western and Arab agencies operating behind the anti-government movement acted to reverse the government shutdown and restore the networks, they were amazed to find how easy it was. The US State Department played its part by encouraging virtual private networks to help users gain access to blocked websites. In no time, the cyber weapon had slipped out the grasp of the ayatollahs' regime.
DEBKAfile's intelligence sources were not surprised to learn that Tehran was sending out feelers to Moscow and Beijing appealing for expert assistance to combat Western raids on its communications networks. This has put Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in an awkward position. Neither is inclined at this moment to run slam up against President Donald Trump on Iran, certainly not in the field of cyber warfare. For Russia, which is already entangled in siding with Iran's military positions in Syria, the cyber issue is an ultra-sensitive subject for his overt and covert relations with Washington. The Chinese president is in the same boat as Putin.

Man United's Sir Alex Ferguson: Michael Carrick recognition long overdue
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says Michael Carrick's player of the year nomination is long overdue

Sir Alex Ferguson claims Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick was long overdue a PFA player of the year nomination.
The 31-year-old joined Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Luis Suárez and Robin van Persie on the six-man shortlist to pick up the end-year accolade on 28 April.
Carrick has been one of United's standout performers this term, scoring once and making four assists, while racking up a staggering 2,442 passes in the Premier League.
"This has been Michael's best ever season at United. He's been absolutely magnificent," said Ferguson.
"It's amazing Michael has had to wait until he's 31 to get nominated for anything – but he deserves it."
Ferguson reserved special praise for Netherlands international Van Persie, who has scored 22 Premier League goals after joining from Arsenal last August.
Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck was named as a nominee for young player of the year but faces competition from Bale, Christian Benteke, Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Jack Wilshere.
"They [Van Persie and Welbeck] deserve to be nominated, there's no doubt about that. And I obviously hope one of them wins," added Ferguson.
"Robin has had a fantastic season – his goals emphasise the impact he has made at our club. Both of them deserve to be there and I hope one of them wins it.
"Danny has also shown some great performances this season for us and his country, and I'm delighted for him too."
