Hi everyone, Sean with jaspyscasebreaks.com here doing 2020 Panini National Treasures Baseball 4 Box Case Break Random Number Block 4 The Chicago White Sox. This is the random number block randomizer where every spot gets you a random number for the break from 0 through 9. If you get the number 3 you'll get all cards for the teams below with 3 being the first number next to the slash on the left side of the slash. So for example if the card is 13 out of 99, 3 out of 25, 43 out of 49, 93 out of 99, and so on the number 3 will get the card. All redemption cards will go to the 0 spot even if it is a known 1 of 1 it will still go to the 0 spot and the team in this case is just the White Sox. So there you go. Here is the list of customers from Ryan down to Hyro and the numbers from 0 down to 9. Dice roll to randomize both lists and pair them up 5 and a 6, 11 times, 9th and final time or wait it was 11, that was 9, it was 11, 10, it was full on you and 11. From Hyro down to Jason, now you can see 11 times there, 11 times in the dice. Now 11 times on the numbers. Anybody see that person that took $100 bet on the Oregon State Beavers? 9 down to 5, 11 times, 11 times. So for the Chicago White Sox, random number block 4, Panini National Treasures 4 blocks, case break number 39, Hyro Lanan with the 9 and the 2 spot, Ryan Kasem with the 0 and the 7, Hyro Lanan with the 4, Ryan Kasem with the 6, Jason Siebert with 8, Hyro Lanan with 1, Joe Carvalho with 3, and Jason Siebert with 5. There you go. That's the way it worked out and let's sort this out. Ryan with the 0 spot gets any and all redemptions for the White Sox, even known one-of-one redemptions while Hyro with the 1 spot will get any in-person one-of-ones for the White Sox. And there you go. That's the random number block randomizer for 2020 Panini National Treasures Baseball 4 blocks, case break, pick your team number 39, random number block for the Chicago White Sox. I'm Sean, jaspyscasebreaks.com. Break itself coming up next, jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for hanging out. See you next time.


The greats are trying to bond I did you keep a pretty single weekly data hopes you just you find things on did you key? Thanks. Did you key for making this segment possible? Lady, you know, what are you looking for this week on did you key calm? Okay this week? I saw on the zits some folks were chatting about RCA jacks, and they wanted triple RCA jacks. This is a dual RCA jack for stereo audio And RCA is still a very popular connector. It's really basic, but it works really well kind of foolproof There's color coding, you know, and then you can match it up to The cables so like you know, this is an example the cable has the yellow and red and white coloring That lets you know that this is video and then left and right Although I don't I never remember maybe red is right and white is left. I don't remember. Maybe it's the other way Stereo audio. Oh, yeah, R is R is red so that's a good way to remember right is red and left is white and This is NTSC your pal Component video composite video But some people like oh I want to have something for Component video to always mix up component video is not the same as composite composite is one Where all the sync and all the color data is on one wire And it uses like color bursts and like you know extremely amazing complicated And slightly lower quality way of transmitting audio video But if you want better quality video and this was in particular for retro computing a lot of video game systems Before they had HDMI to get good quality. You could maybe have component And component even though it says RGB. It's not necessarily red green blue. This is actually Y PB and PR which are the sync and Luma for a Better quality HD video, but it's still like on an analog Stop connector And then there is analog it is actually possible I will mention like, you know, I was like, oh, this is component video, but RGB Analog does exist in some VGA. So sometimes you will see VGA connectors and they'll come out to Analog red green and blue and then sync is on green. So that is it is possible to have it be True analog with like the analog levels on red green and blue But anyways, you can use it for either still very comment on Older pre HDMI displays better quality than Composite Not as good as true digital DVI or HDMI. Okay, so you want these connectors But we want one that's triple not dual although you'll see you can also select dual and what's nice about these is They come as one piece They're molded together and this makes it easier to place because you place them at once They're always like perfectly even because they're plastic mold together and also These plugs take a lot of strain like it's very easy to like wedge them and pull them and Twist them not twist but torque them And so having a lot of mechanical strength is good and having all three connected together on a plastic piece Not only looks good because of evenness But we'll give you more mechanical strength because you can have a mounting tab for example or each of the You know each one has to Contacts the ground circle and the data or analog signal center You now have six, you know four or six contacts that are giving you mechanical Torque protection to get instead of just one one RCA Jack will absolutely torque right off especially if you have You know a younger person who is like still learning how much torque you can put on something So let's go to digikey and look at these so these are called RCA connectors But the category is going to be it's interesting even though in this case we're using it for video for Component video it will be under audio connectors because it's historically used for audio and then it kind of got like repurposed for video So if you even though it has you know your standard That was like a three point five millimeter or quarter inch Jack If you go here, you'll see that it is in fact RCA connectors. So there's Bunch of different configuration again, these are Very old connectors and they're very common. They're still used quite a bit I will say don't use them for power. I've seen people do that. Don't use them in power Use them for like you can use them for some RF signaling Low frequency or you can use them for audio or video You can have vertical sticks right up Horizontal this is extremely common the right angle like I said and they come in various colors This one is nice has a plastic protector. You'll see there's the two nubs in the front That will sink into the PCB and give you mechanical strength This has, you know, three big contacts you would solder in instead and then you can do get into the You know multi multi-pack style. So this is stereo left and right, but the vertical Dual stereo left and right, but you know input and output maybe two channels And then various colors yellow is common blue I guess for RGB or for that Composite whites is common black. You'll see like, you know Black white red yellow green and blue. I've seen like some other colors once in a while. We're not gonna get pink unfortunately, so what we're gonna look for is Triple with red green blue coloring so first off, let's only look for active and Normally stocking so you only look only for stuff that you can kind of get okay, so now we want to select We're gonna have through hole because we want it to be coming out of the PCB and we want Let's say right angle, you know coming out to the side But this one doesn't say vertical. So I'm gonna select anyways because it's unclear Which way it is sometimes like the categories aren't complete A couple different manufacturers Uh These are looking good. These are still all the singles so You know if you look at this dual because sometimes you're like, how do I select that? I want three and it's like there's a dizzying number of You know setups here. So on this one, it's two sets of two conductors Three contacts the contacts is a little confusing I would go with the two sets of two conductors because each connector has two conductors the ground and the signal Um And I guess the three contacts what that means is that the grounds are all shared I don't really need that I don't really care too much and then you can also of course search my insulation color That's another way to do it. But let's just look for the three three sets of contacts um, so three sets Uh three contacts five contacts or six. So basically, you know, are the grounds shared Or not uh looks like on this one I don't understand how it could be three. Oh, no, sorry. This is three conduction I want three sets of two conductors part three sets two conductors each six or nine nine Not sure how you can get nine contacts out of here, but we'll we'll find out. So let's apply and see Okay, so it looks good. Uh, so there's this one. This one's looking very nice Uh, I wonder which one has nine This one has nine. I guess we'll see what's up with this one. Um red green blue So this one is kind of what we want, but it's not in stock. This one Interestingly enough, uh is here, but it looks monochromatic Um, so let's click because sometimes there's multiple photos And we can see what's up here. Let's go to the 360 And wait for it's loaded Okay, so this one is uh red green blue and we can see Oh, it looks like there's is there a switch or maybe there's just dual contacts Let's see if there's what's going on in here There's no Oh, there's a switch. Oh, that's actually really nice. You know, I didn't notice that before so this one has nine contacts There's actually a switch so you can have the signal grounded. Um when nothing is plugged in. Oh, this is a very nice connector So yes each one Over here has a switch inside. You don't need to use it, but it's there if you like it Uh, and this particular part number is pj. I am 3x great 1 u o 3 x 1 u o 3 x Okay, so this one the only thing that this doesn't have is the gold plate. Apparently there's a gold plate version But nickel plates probably fine, too Um, so yeah, this is a very nice connector Nicely than I even thought I didn't realize that I had a switch. I was like, why is there none contacts? I just switched built in so this one This is going to be really nice. This will definitely do the job No matter what I like that you can ground the inputs when they're not connected Uh, give your analog input stage a break. So this is my pick From switchcraft pj r.i.m 3x 1 u o 3x triple rca


Going into 2018, let's review some of Trump and Führer's most outrageous and damaging contributions. Forcing deceptive tax changes on the public, pulling the wings out of national healthcare, denying benefits to the poor and middle class, advancing favoritism for the rich and powerful, building racism and gross unfairness into immigration policy, obstructing freedom of choice for women, undermining American education, encouraging racial prejudice and white supremacy, opposing gun control in a time of escalating violence, denying his own sexual misconduct scandals, attacking LGBTs, terminating the AIDS Commission, mangling American foreign policy, provoking the possibility of nuclear war, alienating Great Britain, Germany and other allies, alienating Mexico and Hispanics in general, alienating the United Nations, terminating free trade agreements, ignoring Puerto Rico, stripping environmental protections, commercializing public lands, repealing regulations intended to protect the public, advancing the use of fossil fuels, advocating for coal over renewables, denying the existence of global warming, rejecting the Paris Accord, refusing to fund scientific research, creating censorship and scientific writing, denying net neutrality, making war on the press in open violation of the First Amendment, distracting the press and the public with repeated lies, personal outbursts and attacks, and absurd dramas among the White House staff, appointing dozens of right-wing federal judges, failing to appoint other important federal officials, thus undermining the efficacy of their agencies, abrogating the separation of church and state, mucking up congressional process and the separation of powers, obstructing and detracting from the mother investigation into his misconduct with Russia, using the government for his personal gain. Every day something awful, so as they say, cheer up, things could get worse, and sure enough, they will.


What's up with that? You know, it's funny when I was growing up. My mom was always like Tyler There's a specific word that starts with the letter C that you're not allowed to say that word But now it seems like the word you're not allowed to say that starts with a C I don't know. It doesn't really make sense to me. What do I know? Either way?


Okay, I don't see father on there as that Okay, cool. Hey friends, this is Dan Stephanie Burke You're watching divine intimacy by in the scenes divine intimacy radio Or you get to see all of our mistakes and foibles and our humanity hidden normally from typical radio audiences, but you get to see them here pretty excited to talk about Mary today and life-changing stories of devotion to her and Before we jump in it's interesting the our guest is the head of the President of the Mariological Society of America, so we have a rich well of Resource to draw from and we're gonna open the show in a minute talking about the triumph of the immaculate heart I'm just curious from his standpoint because he knows so many sources of Mary and Mary and a Mariology if you will that I want to just get some perspective. We have a conference coming up the summit in October of 2023 Will be the Mary and mystery of the triumph of the immaculate heart. That's right And it's gonna be pretty exciting here and I'm very excited about it. I love our lady. She's my queen in Hansville, Alabama and great speaker lineup already But I just want father to educate us a little bit on that and get us more excited about it the other thing I want to tell people about before we jump in is Pilgrimage to Carmelite Spain if you've never done it It will change your life and that's said a lot about a lot of things like new tires in your car New you know new sheet sheet cover or seat covers. That's all bologna What really happens is when you get in the presence of saints they change your life So Carmelite pilgrimage to Spain June 5th to 16th 2023 with Stephanie and I we only allow 50 Participants because we like to get to know everybody and pray with everybody in one bus You will not be on a pilgrimage with six buses. We promise just one bus Well and perpetual lines at the bathroom is right with that all becomes not interested and it happened We have an extension to Fatima speaking of Mary which fits this whole thing. All right, so let's jump into the show On your market gets set go. This is danna Stephanie bill Stop stop reset This is the great thing about live radio. I don't know how people do it, you know who do it every day flawlessly It's amazing to me. I can't do that on your markets that go. This is danna Stephanie Burke Welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio haven abreast your hermitage of the heart your monastery of the mine We we lift our hearts and minds to heaven to draw on the wisdom of the saint and to saints to help us to navigate this difficult life today We are going to focus on drawing on the wisdom of what would be known as the saint the preeminent Disciple of Jesus which is his blessed mother and we have a special guest to help us navigate our Journey today. Who is that stuff? We are so thrilled to welcome father Edward looney. He is a priest of the diocese of Green Bay The president of the Mariological Society of America and an author of several books He's also a host of the podcast how they love Mary. So welcome father looney. It's good to have you here Well, it's great to be with all of you here on divine intimacy radio Awesome. Now you have a podcast and some resources I just want to say it at the beginning middle and end Edward looney calm Is that the resource is that the page where they could find everything? I hope so. I am terrible at updating my websites Oh, but they should be able to find enough information there to get them where they want where they want to be And the podcast is called how they love Mary. Is that right? That's that's correct. And it's actually the title of the book as well. So that's kind of two for one Perfect. Well before we jump into the book, tell me give me some I don't know cliff notes Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary why it's so important. I Really want to encourage folks to show up next year. I mean, we don't have trouble filling these summits But really want folks to learn more about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart Yeah, well the triumph of the Immaculate Heart all surrounds itself with Essentially the apparition of our Lady at Fatima that Mary promised the children in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph and There were lots of things kind of Preambling that the first would be, you know, pray the rosary every day for peace in the world to avoid further wars That was also the request for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart And then there was that promise in the end my heart will triumph So right now we live in a time where we see a lot of immorality It's given a lot of license and we can lose hope we can lose a lot of things when we see all of it We can become discouraged, but I think that's the great promise that in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph And there are other alleged marrying apparitions that talk about kind of the illumination of conscience and how at One point people will come to know and to love God And I think that's truly when the reign of the Immaculate Heart is going to take place when we all become servants of our Lady and followers of her son That's really beautiful It is beautiful the the connection to Fatima of course is really important because To me that message of hope is in contrast with some very difficult things that she said Right what do you find? I mean that's to me the most important aspect of the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in terms of how it affects us theologically Yeah, and one of the things too is I I think we often Think of the end of the world and when that's going to happen And of course St. Paul when he wrote his letters He thought that there was this imminent parisia that was going to take place that Jesus was going to come back in his lifetime all the apostles thought that but of course here We are over 2,000 years later and we're waiting for the return of Jesus So the triumph of the Immaculate Heart could take place literally in our lifetime But I think it also has to take place Individually in all of us so that when we have a devotion to our Lady when we allow her messages to reign in our heart And we follow them well then that's allowing her heart to triumph through us and in us So that's another little aspect. I think we should look at too with the triumph Yeah, that's really beautiful when I Do some speaking here and there and that's one of the things that has been really Resonating with me that I've brought up is that I I think part of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of our Lady Is actually going to happen in the hearts of her people and especially her her women her daughters As sin came through, you know Eve I think we're gonna be we're all gonna be playing a part in that as our lady Purifies us and returns us to who we're called to be We're gonna play a part in healing our families in healing our communities our marriages our our children You know and at infinitum. I think it's really going to play a part in that And that's something st. Louis de Monfort writes about in true devotion to Mary He talks about that there will be this age of Mary and that all that kind of if you want to use Militristic language that this army of our lady is going to rise up and that's why it's so important that we band together and pray the rosary and and I know the Atlantic piece and you know, they think though the rosaries are weapon But but the rosary sure is a weapon against evil But it's an instrument of peace for the world and peace for our heart and souls as well very well said, you know one of the things I like about this book and In your I don't your acknowledgments you acknowledge father Fred Miller and He actually walked me off the cliff in my first Montfortian consecration because I'm I'm a convert from Protestantism and Mary the doctrines relate to Mary one of my biggest struggles and so he helped me to Put it in context and he said next year do Max million Colby, you know, which is kind of which is kind of funny So now we consecrate ourselves every year to the Blessed Mother, but I think like the way that he helped me Which was explaining to me more fully the mystery, right? So I could Intellectually align my mind with the truths of the church and then a sense with faith and then act and live That consecration your book I think will do in this why we had you on the show today is to talk about how they love Mary 28 life-storing life-changing stories of devotion to our lady I believe your book could help people who maybe even struggle with her devotion with breakthrough because you quote so many You know great saints on on her life and why we should have devotion to her Yeah, they all have devotion to our lady The 28 people and some of them are saints others are holy men and women that I think should be saints one day But they're they're not yet saints. It's a great book I think for people who are new to Marian devotion Maybe they're like I don't understand it all and I think that's the value of the saints is that we can learn from them We can see their example. They inspire us I always love that phrase from Hebrews 12 that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses And so that great cloud has to inspire us and in our journey of faith and that's exactly what they do And I was really inspired by that the name how they love Mary came from a line That I began thinking about from an opening prayer for the Feast of Saint Lawrence It said may we love what he loved I said, well, what did Saint Lawrence love and then I started looking at the other saints I'm like, well, what did they love? Well, they love the Eucharist. They love our lady. They love the church They love all of these different things. So Yeah, I think that it can help anybody in their love for our lady If it's a new a newbie to Marian devotion or maybe someone who's been a lifelong devotee But maybe they feel a little stagnant or stale in their Marian devotion Maybe it can be a refresher and give them a breath of fresh air What wonderful so you you chose 28 people to include in your book How did you select these people because you said some are saints some are our saints in the making So how'd you decide who to put in? Yeah with the exception of Pope Francis all of the people including the book are deceased So there he's the only living one But what I wanted to do was in a sense This was going to be kind of an autobiographical piece for me So each one of these people have had some sort of influence in my life Like the very first lesson that I talk about is Saint Damien of Molokai and what did his Marian devotion look like? Well, Saint Damien is my birthday Saint So It just seemed natural to me and I've always had a devotion like when I learned that Saint Damien was my birthday Saint I've had people send me medals of Saint Damien from Hawaii that found me You know and heard me talk about Saint Damien. So that was one of the reasons why included him So each one of the people kind of have had some sort of influence as a saint in my life I include some lesser-known people, but one of them was Mother Mary Francis She was the poor Claire Abbas down in Roswell, New Mexico. Oh gosh, what a connection to my connection I grew up in Roswell My I spent many many hours out at the poor Claire's and my parents have served them for years and years That is a very very holy ground. Yeah, so keep rolling on that one. That's yeah So I I said mass for them last November. I wonder if I would have met your parents Yeah, it's my sure so Yeah, so I chose her because when I was in the seminary they would put out books for us, you know Like they book recommendations or whatever in the library and I saw this book for Advent come Lord Jesus Meditations on waiting and I read that book and it was one of the best spiritual Reflections that I've ever read and then I read her, you know, Lenten reflections So, you know, I thought someone like her people need to meet her or I went to conception Abbey for seminary for two years And so there's a priest there father Lucas Etlin He had a cause for canonization Kind of slowed down doesn't it didn't really advance or anything like that But I thought well, let's introduce people to the monks of conception Abbey then Very cool. Very cool. So What?  Solidified your Mary and spirituality. I'll just give one example of my own my first book Navigating the interior life. I found a quote and I don't remember where who it's from you do because it's in your book That everyone who becomes a saint has a devotion to Mary that affected me very deeply So what's your where your which stories are the greatest inspirations for you? Yeah, you know the story of blessed Salonist Casey had a tremendous impact and especially right now in my life I've been reading the mystical city of God all year. I've been doing it as a little podcast Kind of like in this in the spirit of father Michael Schmitz called the mystical city of God in your podcast And really the reason why I wanted to do that was because when I learned of Salonist Casey's story and my predecessor in the parish I was a Capuchin and he worked and lived with Salonist Casey So he instilled within the people in my parish a great devotion of Salonist. So Salonist gets beatified I'm reading his biography and anticipation of that to write a piece about him And I was really struck by a few things the first was he was in a hospital He was going to have his leg amputated and my mother was a severe diabetic had toes amputated I knew her leg was next and so I said in my mind. I'm like well Salonist He he you know was almost an amputee. He ended up not having his leg amputated, but I thought to myself Well, he needs to be my mother's intercessor. So every day I started asking Salonist to pray for my mother And then as I kept reading the biography I found out that he would recommend the mystical city of God to people to read And if you go to the Salonist Casey center in Detroit, they have a copy of the mystical city of God one of the copies he gave to someone that he wrote a little note in And basically he would say I will pray you pray and you read this Sometimes people would come back and they'd be like, well, why isn't so-and-so getting better? Well, he'd ask did you read from the mystical city of God? They would say no no So he said read from the mystical city of God. So I would say that's one of the most profound ones like So that's so inspired.  I want you to just keep that thought and keep rolling because it's It's fascinating. We'll be right back Um, so we're at break, but everyone can still hear us uh I'm going to take a live stream note to say so Don't miss the Marian mystery and the triumph of the immaculate heart summit avila summit annual avila summit Father John Byrne sister Regina Marie Gorman Claire Dwyer Father Ignatius Schweitzer at the shrine of the most blessed sacrament in Hansville and our Carmelite pilgrimage to Spain, which includes a fadima extension Which just totally fits in with what we're talking about today So check those out and let's jump back into the show Oh, uh spiritualdirection.com forward slash events for all of our events Uh after once the show is concluded. So that was 13 minutes. Father will go 12 and a half now if you want to watch the clock a little bit Probably we'll cut out at 12 With you and then do some wrap up. Okay 12 minutes. All right on your markets that go This is danna Stephanie Burke. Welcome back to divine intimacy radio Love this subject, which is so strange. I had so much trouble uh with mary coming into this church I ended up writing a best-selling book called the contemplative rosary uh about her devotion to her And uh, so we've got it. We've got a I would say a world-class expert on on mary and Devotion to mary father edward looney with his great book. How do they love mary? So father, I hated cutting you off for the break because I love your enthusiasm But keep rolling with what you were what you were talking about Yeah, I was talking about salonis kasey and Essentially after I learned his promotion of the mystical city of god every day then While I prayed for my mother Usually at night, I would say a little prayer, you know, dear father salonis Please pray for my mother that she'll never have her leg amputated in this life and Then I would read a page from the mystical city of god Well, I got to about page 245 and then my mother passed away, which I saw as an answered prayer But uh, I never finished it and so I thought to myself I owe this to salonis I really want to read the mystical city of god. I talked to a few of my friends And I I pitched the idea to them and they're like well, we wanted to reread it or read it for the first time so if you do this we're going to follow along and uh, so every day now I've been reading for the mystical city of god for about 20 minutes. It's a four volume over 2500 page work It's an arduous task, but uh, it's been spiritually beneficial for me and uh, I know it's making a difference in my soul I don't I can't articulate it all that well, but I just know that I'm different because I'm reading it God be praised and it's interesting because I was just looking at it. I have it on my shelf I have a little I have a shelf in my library that's all Um dedicated to our lady and that's right there in front of me and I looked at it the other day Kind of stared at and I thought you know, I should break that open So maybe this is my nudge Well, let me ask you besides the rosary because we've talked about you know the contemplative rosary that dan and Connie Rossini wrote great book. It's and we even have an app for it. We do. Um, it's beautiful I love our app. So what are besides the rosary? What are some other forms of mary and devotion that you could school us on?  I suppose you could say like For 50 for the 54 day rosary novena from august 15th to october 7th the feast of our lady the rosary I've just been doing a social media rosary with followers and uh, yesterday it was windy here I usually do it from our grotto at my parish. We have a very beautiful grotto uh, a historical marker and uh, because it was so windy I did it inside But I have this lady from the philippines come by earlier in the morning. She's a parishioner She just got back from the philippines. She brought me like this two foot two foot tall statue of our lady from one of the mary and shrines down in the philippines and I prayed the rosary yesterday before that image. So that's something that I noticed In a lot of the stories of the holy men and women father lucas atlin who I referenced earlier father patch or father Father patent. He also Had a statue of our lady, you know the statues of our lady St. Therese was miraculously healed by a statue that came to life and smiled at her So the statues I think having the presence of our lady is is tremendous and To have that holy reminder as mother angelica would always say and that when we look at a crucifix We remember Jesus died for us. Maybe we pray christ crucified have mercy on me And when we see a statue of our lady, maybe you call upon our lady pray for me blessed mother So I think that's a strong invitation of prayer the scapular of course is another Sacramento There's spiritual reading that we can do like I mentioned with uh, salonis casey and reading that the mystical city of god, but There are great saints like st. Francis the sails who wrote homilies about the blessed mother there's a volume of Sermons on our lady that he wrote that's published by tan books And and those those are opportunities. I think to to delve deeper into marrying devotion to there's There's so many different ways beside the rosary that we can express a marrying devotion and fervor in our own life And there's a great book we we have a guest on today who's talking about a great book just about that It's uh, father edward looney How they love married 28 life-changing stories as revulsion To our lady you can get that out at spirits of direction dot com forward slash shop Published by the great sophia institute press and I was going to add one more devotion and that's going on pilgrimage Oh big. Oh, that that is huge. That has been Incredible life changing for us in our the hoops who come right, you know, it's it's been incredible I I want to come up to the shrine up there in green bay. Um, oh, I've been there. It's really it's really yeah I haven't so tell us a little bit about that father Yeah, so going on pilgrimage is really significant. Lots of people have gone on marrying pilgrimages Fulton sheen I think you know, he went to lured so many times. He went to fadima so many times mother angelica actually went to akita japan Uh after her stroke, you know, and wow, she she went to lured so Um pilgrimage is important and right here in wisconsin. So we talk about pilgrimage You're leading that pilgrimage to a carmelite spain. I was just an avala earlier this year when I was in spain Is that amazing? Yeah, it was beautiful amazing. Uh, and then I said uh mass at the tomb of st Teresa of avala in whatever that town was but all but the term is that's the town name and uh Yeah, so uh, we can go across the pond But we can also come right here to shrines in the united states. Yeah, there's a marion apparition champion And right outside of green bay where our lady appeared in 1859 as the queen of heaven And told the visionary adel to pray for the conversion of sinners offer her holy communion for that intention To make a general confession then to gather the children teach them what they need to know for salvation It's a very simple message. The shrine was spared from A A torrential fire you could call it like a fired tornado That began burning on the very eve of the anniversary of the apparition devastated Hundreds upon hundreds of acres of land But yet the shrine stood there amidst the sea of of ash as an emerald island as one person commented so It's a story that's rich with lots of different healings and miracles that still happen to the present day So that's a place you can come to the united states Wherever you live, there's probably a marion shrine where I live in wisconsin Of course, I live 20 minutes from champion, but we have the shrine to holy hill a karm light of the silica outside of milwaukee There's the shrine of our lady of guadalupe in lacrosse But there are shrines all across the united states wherever you go. You can find a shrine to the blessed mother I'm sure of it And you should go annually really and yeah with with a specific intention to pray But I love your uh enthusiasm My favorite shrine in the united states is our lady of la lache down there in florida. Yeah, and it's there too It's known as a place where couples who struggle to conceive they pray for that grace of fertility and I've taken Intentions there like I I'll post on social media. Who would you like me to pray for? I'm insane augustine And I I just received an email last week from someone that said you prayed for us and now we just had our child baptized And we're told we never have children so I love getting those little grace reports So a visit to a shrine can be efficacious for your soul and also just for your intercessory prayer as well Last question I want to ask you and we may have a little more time for another one, but it's complex So It's it's related to additional devotions that we learn from People like you've written about in your book how they love mary But I've prayed exilium christianorum for years mary, you know mary help of christians And in that there's a prayer the opening prayer has mary purifying our prayers to god as we pray The devotion where does that do you know where that tradition comes from and can you talk a little bit about how She can purify our prayers. I've been begin praying that at mass naturally And the last few masses I've gone to lord mary, please Purify my intentions in my heart in this mass Well admittedly I don't know about that devotion I think this is the second time you've told me about it Which is probably the invitation to learn more about it Maybe begin praying it myself But that whole notion of mary purifying our prayers because she is the immaculate conception She's without sin and so she is favorable before god now we We have sin and so she can join her prayers to ours And and then present them to her son Just as she at cana that wonderful story of turning water into wine that jesus did Well, it was at her request and so I think really this this notion not only just her purifying our prayers amplifying them It affects or maybe talks a little bit about her mediation of grace that god has given her this role in history And one of the things that you just look at history You look at all the different times that people have called out to our lady and they've experienced grace Like the battle of lapanto was won. Some people don't like referring to military battles, but But that was one where the people joined in prayer of the rosary and a success was given to them But you go to any shrine when you're in spain. They'll have little mementos on the walls saying, you know in remembrance of my healing or whatever and People have prayed to our lady and it works And that's because god has given this to us as she is our spiritual mother And so she is the one to make intercession for us And uh, and he wishes to give us grace through her hands because she was the fullness of grace One of the um devotions that just came to mind as you were speaking was the one in italy We're on the on street corners on the building.  There's a there's a little altar and they have a statue for a lady Relief where she sat in right it's set in into the corner of the buildings And it is such a beautiful devotion because you're walking down the streets. You're in modern, you know Full on modernity everywhere You know all kinds of different colors shapes and styles and everything And then you look up and there's our lady and it's this reminder of i'm with you, you know I haven't left my people Call to me pray to me, you know, so it's just really beautiful When and a catholic can see that a non christ a non christian a muslim someone else could see that Any christian they're just reminded it's a great reminder in the world that well Here is the mother of god and she loves you and she prays for you whether you like it or know it That's awesome.

So you can get a good idea of what you're getting into and I'd say you know I mean just for the frame and everything I mean there's a little bit of surface rust but for the most part it's really solid like that's mostly just surface rust right there I mean nothing too bad back tires actually look like they have a little bit more tread than the fronts and this back rim no scuffs or scrapes on that. As you come around to the back of the vehicle rear bumper a little bit of corrosion on there as the full towing package receiver hitch and seven pin wiring tailgate pretty nice condition just a little bit of bubbling on there it does have a very nice drop in bed liner on this truck shuts nice and solidly and down this side of the vehicle just as clean as bass and your side you can see any dense dings in the box here and for full disclosure this back rim is in excellent shape as well down the rest of this side like I said you always want to check out the lower rockers these all look really solid and the rest of the side of the truck is a nice shape not as the tow mirrors with the built-in directional signals on them inside the SLE package gives you the dark charcoal cloth interior there are no rips or tears on the seats they are in nice shape it does have factory all-weather floor mats throughout back seats are in nice condition as well and it does have the fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost all weather floor mats back here and the carpeting is nice and clean these seats do fold up like so for extra storage and it's pretty clean back here power windows power locks power mirrors and as we hop inside the truck here you can see that this one indeed does have 133,891 miles instrument cluster is very nice and clean has the leather wrapped steering wheel no rips or tears on that and it does have AM FM radio on here I'm not sure if it has XM I don't think it does so just AM FM and it does have a CD player as well climate controls including the dual climate control this one has the snow plow prep package on it if you ever wondered you can tell by that but the code on that is VYU and the dash and instrument cluster is nice and clean passenger seat no major rips or tears on that looks like maybe it had a car seat in it at one time headliner is nice and clean and you do get map lights up there you get a compass and temperature in the mirror and we'll take a quick look under the hood and I'd personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to tell the exact condition of this truck so you can make a smart buying decision under the hood we have the six liter VA motor and here it runs very nice and smooth this truck has been fully safety to and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change all the fluids have been checked and tapped off truck has been gone through mechanically 100% and is 100% ready to go looks like it has a new battery in there or newer 919 and to see more pictures of this truck or one of our other 450 new and used cars trucks scvs minivans wranglers half tons three quarter tons one tons you name it we got it go to our website www.summitauto.com full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com and if you like to check out more hd videos you can go to youtube.com slash summit auto remember to like subscribe and share on this video and all the videos that you see there in fact in a second you will see links subscribe to our youtube channel on your left it links more heavy-duty truck videos like this one on your right actually GMC Sierra 2500 videos like this one on your right if you've not been to our website on the bottom link to this vehicle on our website click those check us out and we look forward to helping with this 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 extended cab shortbox SLE.

In a couple of respects, first of all this is not a treaty of all 27 member states of the European Union. This is a treaty which has been agreed by 25 of the 27. The second way that it is different is its ratification. This treaty will not require the unanimous agreement of all of the member states. In order for this treaty to come into effect, all that is required is that 12 members of the Eurozone countries ratified the treaty and it will then come into effect when the 12th country has ratified it or on the 1st of January 2013.


Information comes at you pretty fast these days. It's easy to get overwhelmed by it all. You may even wonder if any of this information is reliable.  As it turns out, a librarian from the University of California, named Sarah Blakesley, came up with a funny way to help with this problem.  That's currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose. In this video, we'll show you how to use the Crap Test to evaluate the sources you find in your search to ensure that they are quality, relevant, and credible resources. Currency. Not that kind of currency. In this case, currency refers to how timely the information is. After all, would you rather get your health news from a website that hasn't been updated since 1996, or would you rather get your information from a source that's a bit more recent? How do you check for currency? Ask yourself, are you in a fast-paced industry where the latest cutting-edge information is always being updated, or will older sources work just as well? Has the information been revised recently? If it's a website, do all of the links still work? Is there a newer version of the website? Has it been revamped, or is it hosted in a new location? Relevance. How important is this information for your current needs? When it comes to finding information, there can be a lot of noise getting in the way of what you want to learn. It can be annoying and even a bit overwhelming, but there are ways to cut through the clutter. You can use limiters to narrow your search results even further. First, ask yourself if the information is even related to your question or topic. Information that's unrelated to your topic can be a distraction. Stay focused. You might not find the perfect answer right away. That's okay. You can also ask a librarian or other member of the library staff a bunch of questions until you find what you need. They really don't mind. Be persistent and you may be rewarded with the information you were looking for. There are other points to remember when thinking about relevance. When analyzing information, consider its intended audience. For example, is the information too simple or is it too complicated? And have you tried searching through a variety of sources before choosing the right one? Authority. Where did the information come from? How can you tell if a person really knows what they're talking about? With so many people claiming to be an expert in one thing or another, it can be hard to know who really knows. How do you decide who or what has the most authority when it comes to information? Ask yourself who is the author, publisher, or sponsor? What are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations? Can you verify those credentials? Is the author qualified to write on the topic? Is there contact information? If it's a website, does the URL reveal anything about the author or source? Accuracy. How true is this information? Accuracy is a hot topic these days. There's a lot of confusion over what is fake and what is real when it comes to information. When checking for accuracy, ask yourself, does the language or tone seem unbiased and free of emotion? Is the information supported by evidence? Can you verify the information using more than one credible source? Has the information been peer reviewed? Remember, peer review is the evaluation of a work by other experts in the same field who check the work and research prior to its publication. The peer review process is important because it serves as quality control. The experts, peers, reviewing the work don't just fact check, they also check for clarity and methodology. If the work involves people or animals, the peer review may even check for ethical or safety concerns. Purpose. Why does this information exist? When evaluating a source, it's always important to think about the reason why it was created in the first place. Is the purpose instructional? Or is it someone trying to sell you something? Does the point of view appear objective and impartial? Or is the author trying to persuade the audience somehow? Remember to look closely. Sometimes the real purpose of a work isn't immediately obvious. Check for ideological, political, cultural, or religious biases before deciding on a source. Even if the source is entirely accurate, comparing it to other sources can provide you with information that was left out for any reason. Be thorough. Sometimes what looks like a fact may simply be an opinion or propaganda. Don't be afraid to compare sources.  If you're unsure or you still have some questions, don't hesitate to ask a librarian or member of the library staff. Thanks for watching.


What's up everybody? Ricky Karuth here. Welcome back to my channel. So today's question is, can you be successful without cold calling? Let's get into it. So let's talk about the pros and the cons. So let's start out with the pros. Okay. Cold calling. Let's talk about it for a second. First off, I want you to understand that conversation is the key to all closings. Real conversation. Okay. That voice to voice. The voice to voice is the reason why technology will not replace real estate agents ever because they have to have that people to people. They have to have that consultation through the ever changing market. They need a professional. You're not going to roof your own house. You're not going to plumb your own house. Okay. You need a professional that's going to help you through that treacherous process of how do we market the property correctly? How do we get it in front of the most buyers and how do we show the property? How do we negotiate? How do we write the contract? How do we get the job done? It's where we have a smooth transaction. Okay. Voice to voice is the only way to get there. Now, for those who view who get online leads, buyer leads, that's fine. But what do you have to do once you get those leads? You have to talk to them. The number one rule with buyer leads and online leads, the moment you get them, you have to what? Call them immediately. And talk to them on the phone, voice to voice. It's the only way to get to a closing because they have to hear your voice. They have to hear how you react to them, the tone, the speed, everything about you, your personality, to see if it's a good fit for somebody that they will work with. So the pros to cold calling is, is it puts you in front of the most people voice to voice and have those real conversations as humanly possible. Okay. Nothing is more efficient in my mind than just sitting in a room and calling property owners one after another, after another, after another. Nothing's more efficient than actually calling property owners who already own the type of property you want to sell. And it's so easy to find phone numbers, to target those property owners that already own those types of properties and whatever subdivisions you're trying to go after. Okay. So I'm going to put a link in the description right now to get $150 discount with red X, geo leads. That's the very best data on the market and they're getting better and better every day. Let's talk about the cons of cold calling. Okay. People are scared to make calls. That's the first negative thing I can think about cold calls is people just don't want to do them because they're scared that the people on the other end are going to give them rejection. They're not going to like them. They're going to hang up on them. They're going to cuss at them and people are scared of that. Not everybody's going to pick the phone up. You're going to make a lot of calls, get a lot of no answers. But that's where I like to leave a voicemail. I always leave a voicemail. Think of voicemail as a personal branding tool. Okay. They hear your name, they hear your voice, they hear your company, they hear your phone number. Okay. They hear you and that's just a part of the personal branding pie. Okay. They see your signs around town. They see your emails. They see, you know, all the stuff that you're doing online, social, media wise, and then they hear a voicemail from you and they say, that's that guy online. Okay. So it all ties together. That's why I always leave a voicemail because they may call you back. They may not call you back, but they heard your name. I'm going to link a video right now that gets into how to overcome the fear making cold calls. Basically the bottom line is, is that your, your intent is to help them. Okay. You're informing them of something going on with the market and you're helping them. You're seeing what you can do to help them. Stand behind that intent. Don't worry what they think about you. Okay. Most people that you talk to, they're going to realize that you're there to help and they're going to love you for it and they're going to do business with you. Whereas if you didn't make the calls, it's never going to happen. Now cold calling is not just for real estate agents. It's for all industries. I think that it's kind of a, the lost art kind of thing for most sales people because there's so much technology and other ways to communicate and so on and so forth. However, if you'll combine those new school techniques of technology and social media and everything going on online and combine those with the old school techniques of just picking up the phone. Okay. You found them online and then you called them, right?  And within that is the only way that you're actually going to help them. Now I still make cold calls, not as many as I used to, but I still make cold calls when my business slows down. I pick up the phone. I ramp my business back up, but I made over a hundred thousand cold calls in my career. And it's literally the reason why I'm standing right here today. Okay. I built my brand on the phone and I followed up with a weekly email forever. And that's why I sell over a hundred properties every year. Since 2014 as a single agent, I've leveraged the brand that I built from all the cold calls and emailing.  It's either me making the live calls or I'm coaching one of you guys. And if you want to come on my channel and make live calls and let me coach you through it, just shoot me an email ricky at zeroedidiamond.com. And I'll be glad to put you on the list and get that scheduled. So to answer the question here, can you be successful without cold calling? Yes. There's plenty of things that you can do. And there's plenty of agents that are successful without cold calling. How do we reach the maximum amount of exponential growth? The quickest, I would say in my opinion, it would be to get on the phone, talk to as many people as you can and start building that brand. If you made it to the end of this video, hit that like button, shoot me a comment. Let me know your thoughts and let me know what videos you want me to make in the future. I'll talk to you guys on the next one. Let's go.


I was just, it's different, you know, when we get here and we put that Titan uniform on, it's just a different vibe. And just to get the first one, I just, I mean, words can't explain it. Just come back Monday and just build on it. Did you feel something? I was, honestly, no, not really.  You know, that's just what I did, my opportunity to come and just want to go make the play. How much more confident is the regular season, especially after these three games? I would just say it just, you know, the preseason is real valuable for rookies. Just to get a taste of it and then actually just to go out there, come real season and just go play ball. I would just say, I mean, it's more, I would say it's more fast-paced. Just as for my perspective, you know, but honestly, just to keep doing what I'm doing and just keep getting better and better. Honestly, like I said, I'm just ready for, I'm always ready for my opportunities. And when my opportunity comes, you know, I just take advantage of it. Yeah, I mean, I just ran my route to win. And you know, he made an incredible throw and I just went and made a play afterwards. I don't like to get too far ahead, but yeah, you know, it's doing good. I mean, honestly, I don't remember exactly what I did, but just going to come in Monday. Well, actually tomorrow and just build on it and get better. I would say everybody has a lot to do. You never, like in perfect, you never, no one's perfect. It's always room to improve and just keep improving. I'm just glad that, you know, I really wanted to go in there tonight and get an opportunity to go in there and try to win the game. Unfortunately enough, we were able to do that. And I'm just grateful for, you know, J-Rob and Coach Vraves for giving me this opportunity. I wanted to prove him right tonight when I got in there. You didn't get a ton of changes tonight, but to go out there 75 yards away, go down the field in 12 plays and score. That's got to mean something pretty special. It made something for sure to me.  That's what we did. It was unbelievable. The fourth down play, you had a chance on second down, really had a chance on third down. Fourth down, it was just like, I'm getting it in one way, right? Yeah, I mean, after those, the previous plays, I was like, I'll have to do something here.  I wouldn't say pressure really. I mean, I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities I had. You know, obviously turn the ball over a couple of the first two games, obviously something that, you know, I didn't want to do. But I do feel like that I have continued to try to get better and try to, you know, find a role in this football team wherever it is. Just let them know, like, you know, our team keys and all that, you know, and then very well, let them know too. So, you know, it's really just like we're going to play our style of football here. Who ended up in charge of all the tickets? I remember you guys were kind of battling back then. Yeah, I mean, he probably got more requests than I did. So, you know, let him handle all that. So what was it told, probably, to think between you guys, how many local families you bring in here? Oh, no, I just had two. My mom and my brother. She's pretty happy when you call her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to ask about who goes play that he made, two at one, where he splits and jumps up. It's a pretty impressive display there. Oh, yeah, I loved it, you know what I'm saying? You know, it's showing where he can do, you know, and he does that a lot. He was from the area and kind of, you know, being home here. What was it like? It was just, I mean, as soon as I seen it, it was just get on the ball, you know, and don't let nobody take it. So, and then once I grabbed it, you know, it was just excitement because that was a big play in the game. Yeah, how did you feel like you played? I think I played good.  You had any conversations with him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was just coaching me up on like some small things that I can do, you know, really just, yeah, it's really just small things on what to look at or, you know, I'm saying, what to expect in this formation or that formation. I get it. You know, coming towards it, I mean, it's a pretty close game. What were some of the things either that you were kind of taking away from those moments, or trying that coaches were telling you while you were, you know, getting really close?  No, I think that, you know, I had a good game and I think that, you know, I'm trying to, when I came in here, the goal was to, you know, be as effective as I could. And I had a lot of things in college that I wanted to work on and I thought tonight I put that in the field. Yeah, I think my strength is honestly to help, you know, flip the field. And I think that I need to use that to my advantage as well as, you know, get a 60-40 punt down. And that's where I'm going to put my focus right now. So it's been awesome.  Ever since I was in high school and this experience has been fantastic, honestly. And, you know, getting to learn from a vet and I couldn't ask for a better place to land. Absolutely. But I also think at the same time that I have more to work on. Like it's just not a finished product yet and I feel like each game I've improved and I think that that's what I'm going to continue to do. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Man, I saw a couple of my cousins, my parents, my friends, and I saw a couple of friends of a friend there too.  You pick up one thing after another year, you know.  And I hold myself to a high standard, you know, always be ready, even when they don't think you're ready. Thanks, man. Yeah, no problem. Question for you.  Or kind of get you acclimated? I've been talking to all the guys. I've been talking to buyers throughout the whole off-season and all that stuff. So, you know, we all just, you know, we all talk when it's necessary. Man, it's different, man. I just can't believe it. Like, I actually had my family showing up to the games, you know, because it's down the street for them now. So instead of flying across the country, man, they just drive 20 minutes and they're there, man. I'll say all of those. Something new, something I got to get used to, man. It was just different. I'm really referenced in Tennessee Titans, man. I'm really home. I'm really, you know, putting my best foot forward, each and every game, each and every practice. You know, I played well. I mean, I only played for a little while, so we're going to watch the film. We're going to see how I did and I'm going to see what I can improve on, what are things I can do to get better during practice during next week. I'm sorry. You probably answered the question. We just walked in. Jay Robb, you know, basically said that you won the job on TV tonight. How gratifying is that given all the effort you put in?  I mean, it's great that he said that, but in the NFL, you compete every single day for your job. So it's not something that you just think you already have solidified. I'm going to compete every single day during practice. I'm going to compete this week, next week when we have the Giants, two weeks when we have the Giants and things like that. It's not something that I take lightly. So I'm going to keep competing and keep doing my job. Does it take any of the pressure off, though, that you can just get in there with Nate or whatever and kind of know that chances are you guys are the guys and you can work off of each other or one on one like that? I mean, we work with everyone. I mean, that's, as an office-aligned unit, you can't just work with one guy.  God forbid. I mean, you could see what happened last year. I mean, we had a lot of guys that came in during the season. Like, I wasn't here, but the Titans came in and they brought a lot of guys. And that's a testament to what the Titans do and this testament to how they coach, how they develop, how they bring in guys that fit the culture. But taking it out exactly resting on your laurels off of this? No, I mean, I got to compete. I mean, I'm going to go watch the film. I'm going to work out tomorrow. And then we got practice the next day after that. And it's still, even though we're done with pre-season, we still got one more week at camp and then we got the week with the Giants. So we got to prepare for that.


The Marine Corps martial arts program hones better warriors through physical and mental discipline. A decade after the program's creation, Marines are throwing their skills around Cleveland.  Three of the instructors are third-degree black belts in the program, led by fourth-degree black belt Staff Sergeant Tommy Lee, who spends hours every day improving his skills and those of his fellow Marines. You're honing the whole aspect, not just teaching anybody to go out and do the physical aspects, but also teaching them how to present themselves, how to be an ethical warrior. With so many Marines in one place, it's hard for civilians to pass up the opportunity to learn more about the Marine Corps. You guys come into Cleveland interacting with the citizens of this town that helps us to understand the all-around total Marine. During the course of Marine Week, Marines and Clevelanders work together to bring the phrase Community, Country, Corps full circle. For Marine Week Cleveland, I'm Lance Corporal John Tucker.


It may not be immediately obvious that this forest fire down below and this moose in Glacier National Park up above are in some sense doing the same thing biochemically, but they are. The moose, it's called respiration, and down here it's called a fire, a conflagration. But what they're doing is taking plant, adding oxygen, and using that to cause chemical reactions that release energy, which you see as the heat and light here, or you see as the moose able to stand up and chew and run around and do moose things.
