“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Clement reportedly performed his first miracle. While his fellow prisoners were suffering from dehydration, the Pope looked up and saw a lamb on a hill. He struck where the lamb was standing with a pickaxe, which released a stream of clean water. His act resulted in the conversion of a large number of local pagans to Christianity, which then resulted in his gruesome martyrdom by the Roman authorities. Saint Clement was tied to an anchor and thrown from a boat into the Black Sea. Legend recounts that every year, the waters part to reveal a divinely built shrine housing the saint’s bones.A relic of Pope Clement I is restored to the Westminster Cathedral (Mazur/www.catholicnews.org.uk)Apparently one bone got away. Housed in what appears to be a Victorian-era wax-sealed reliquary, the bone fragment of Pope Clement I was likely a family heirloom. The collection of such relics was an extremely popular practice in medieval Europe. Seeking miraculous healing or a conduit to Christ, pilgrims would travel across the continent for primary relics (i.e. the remains of saints) or secondary relics (i.e. things touched by saints). Through the centuries, such relics have been chipped away and disseminated across the globe, leading to a secondary market of fake relics which some say spurred the Reformation.“It could have been stolen, it could belong to someone and been accidentally thrown out,” University of Turku researcher Georges Kazan also told reporters. “If it’s authentic, it’s not the kind of thing you throw away.”...

News 69 News Related stories PHILLIPSBURG, Pa. - Phillipsburg town council amended its Riverfront Redevelopment Plan to allow storage of waste disposal containers and trucks within the Riverside Commercial zone.But the story isn’t over yet. A last-minute wording change opening the ordinance up to storing empty commercial waste containers — the original intent of the zoning change — set the stage for a third and final reading on Aug. 7.The decision to amend the Riverfront Redevelopment Plan has polarized town residents. At Tuesday’s regular council meeting, opponents of the zoning change argued that a trash company was a nuisance that didn’t mesh with the town’s envisioned future. Supporters argued that Phillipsburg was an industrial town at heart and that denying one trash hauling company business was hypocritical when the town stores its own hauling trucks in the armory.Riverside Commercial Zone is located east of Union Station bordering the river.LMR Disposal LLC has ...

For me to have to walk back to the top of the hill, the steep hill, to dispose of the waste or kind of carry it around with you the whole time you’re here, neither of those are really appealing options," dog owner Brian McCormack said. At Hefflinger Park, the dumpster is easy to get to, but at Hanscom Park, the dumpster requires people to walk away from the fenced in park area, which is where some of the frustration comes. Many owners don't want to leave their dog alone. "I picked up my dog's poop, but it's 10 feet away until I have to leave the dog park and then I'll take it up to the trash can. It is an annoyance," dog owner Michaela Gabaldon said. Some people attempted to protest the changes, tying filled dog bags to the fence, but Gabaldon said that was short lived. The city's Parks and Recreation director Brook Bench said the lack of trash cans is temporary, at least at Hefflinger Park, but what the city is trying to do is make it easier for city maintenance crews to empty the trash cans. "we'll be able to dump the cans faster and more often then what they are right now. We're trying to alleviate the pain of what it is we have in the maintenance department," Bench said. As it sat before, emptying the cans became a hassle, especially after it rained, so the city is hoping this will alleviate some of the stresses for crews coming to clean up. However, with the dumpster so far away now, some dog park goers have noticed an increased amount of dog fece... (WOWT)
McFadden, George Campbell.)Clemson (Best recruits: Christian Wilkins, Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud.)Tennessee (Best recruits:Drew Richmond, Kyle Phillips, Khalil McKenzie and Alvin Kamara.) Georgia, Auburn, LSU, THE Ohio State and Texas A&M. Half of those schools have had coaching changes since that signing day. (Clay Helton was named the full-time head coach in November 2015.)Two of the top five had miserably disappointing seasons last year. Yes, three of the four teams in the college football playoff as well. So yes, getting the players is the starting point, but man getting talent and wasting talent will get you fired quickly. LeBron and Cavs debacleThe Cavs are a dumpster fire. LeBron and the Boys had a 21-point lead and got smoked in the second half by a terrible Orlando team. The wheels have come off.LeBron was even asked about waiving his no-trade clause after the game, and he said he would never do that to his teammates. (In truth, we believe LeBron is unwilling to waive that trade clause because of what it would mean down the road. No not to LeBron and future earnings. Rather, LeBron would seemingly be willing to sacrifice the extra millions he could get by resigning with a new team for the assets it would cost his new team in the trade, if that makes sense.) Stink, because we'll ask this: Would Lebron James being willing to waive his no-trade clause be the most interesting thing that could possibly happen in sports during the next 24-plus hours?OK, let's clarify. We must take all deaths off the books. And cheating/sexual scandals, because let's be honest, after the Michigan State stuff, 'interesting' is not the right word.Which brings us back to LeBron and the talking point of his no-trade clause. Multiple teams have, according to this story, inquired about whether LeBron would waive his no-trade clause. It makes sense. The Cavs are free-falling. Other than James, that roster is a first-round flame-out waiting to happen. It also makes sense for the Cavs to look to deal James. He's a free agent at the end of the season. The team rightly does not want to deal the unprotected Nets' No. 1 pick. (As of right now that pick is a lottery pick but is only three wins ahead of Atlanta for last place. Tanking Fever, catch it.)It also makes sense for LeBron. He can craft where he wants to go. Heck, he likely could craft a deal that would include a spot for BFF Dwyane wade, too.)This Cavs structure is broken. LeBron hates owner Dan Gilbert and vice versa, regardless of the chance each presented the other for redemption. It's done. And LeBron is headed somewhere.But if he would agree — and the construct of a deal could be woven — would that not behoove both sides. And then, as we become a sports culture that loves the transaction more ... (Chattanooga Times Free Press)
