Link of the Day: CATHOLIC SENSIBILITY
On a regular basis, I'll be highlighting and suggesting a link for you to follow. Some, like today's, will be regulars from my sidebar while others will be links to pages I've come across while wandering in cyberspace.
Catholic Sensibility is a favorite I visit daily. Todd Flowerday is the "sensible Catholic" blogger there and his topics are generally ecclesial and liturgical - although his affection for astronomy threads through his posts, too, along with some wonderful celestial photography. Over the years Todd has run series on many liturgical documents, working through them paragraph by paragraph and enhancing the texts with his good pastoral commentary.
In my estimation, Todd is one of the finest writers in the Catholic blogosphere. His posts are insightful, of substance and sometimes gently provocative: he makes you think! Catholic Sensibility deserves a place among your bookmarks.

Meant every word of it, Todd - and I just changed the order of my post's penultimate sentence lest it appear that I think you are only sometimes "of substance!"
- January 12, 2010 at 3:50 PM
I agree about Todd's blog. I try to check in daily and have been since he began this endeavor.

Catholic Sensibility is remarkable in every way and deserves every accolade! Todd's depth and breadth of knowledge and how he expresses it on his blog is amazing. The provocative posts that he puts up ask us to think and invite us more deeply into our faith.
Like with your blog, I don't get to comment often with time being a challenge. That said, your blog and Todd's are in my reader and I do keep up!

Ernst J. Schaefer, MD, an Agricultural Research Servicefunded scientist, led a United States Department of Agriculture nutrition research study analyzing the relationship of blood levels of DHA and the risk of dementia in 900 men and women. At the conclusion of the nine-year study, researchers found that those participants with the highest blood levels of DHA, who consumed about three servings of fish a week, or 180 milligrams of DHA per day, had half the risk of developing dementia when compared with those who consume little DHA.
Fish may also be helpful in reducing the risk of kidney cancer, according to a study of 61,000 women in Sweden published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Women who consumed one or more servings of fatty fish per week over 10 years were 74 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer.
Salmon is an excellent source of DHA and EPA and the fat soluble vitamin D. Salmon is an unusual fish that begins life in fresh water then spends time in salt water before returning to fresh water again. Salmon thrives in very cold regions such as Alaska, Scotland and Norway and is traditionally cured or smoked in these regions. Today, much of the salmon is raised in fish farms which mimic the conditions of the wild; however, the fatty acid content of these fish lacks the valuable DHA and EPA content and is less healthful overall than wild caught salmon. Eating salmon is a delicious and healthful way to enhance brain and nervous system health—enjoy!

The 2010 Chevy Camaro was the de facto car of the year at the big 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The floor was chock-a-block with new Camaros in nearly every imaginable guise and configuration. Supercharged. Touring. Road racing. Drift. Drag racing. Body kits-a-plenty. The only thing that wasn't there was an off-road or rock crawler Camaro. Maybe next year! This annual industry event turned out to be a showcase to celebrate modified versions of the latest production reentry into the American muscle car resurgence atmosphere.
One Camaro in particular bridged the gap between the past and present with 750 hp and the racing heritage of the legendary John Lingenfelter. While Lingenfelter passed away in 2003 due to complications following a drag racing accident in 2002, the performance lineage he established lives on not only at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, but also with this LPE-constructed '10 Camaro SS that packs a blown LS7 underhood and race-bred suspension engineering under the chassis to back up the boost.
John Lingenfelter literally wrote the book on modifying the engine synonymous with Camaro performance: the small-block Chevy. While global arguments ensue over the superiority of multiple camshafts with variable timing and cylinder head chambers composed almost entirely of valve tulips and nano-robots, the basic single cam overhead valve pushrod engine that Duntov created back in the '50s makes more horsepower with each new update on the original architecture, despite a lack of quad-cam over-engineering.
Relatively light and compact compared to its European multiple camshaft V-8 cousins, and almost infinitely flexible in performance, the small-block Chevy was the basis for John Lingenfelter's racing lineage. Lingenfelter took 13 National NHRA national event titles in everything from Comp to Pro Stock Truck with powerplants of his own construction. His first national event win was behind the wheel of a '69 Camaro SS/NA Camaro in 1972. Lingenfelter later took the knowledge gleaned from years of V-8 racing into the four-cylinder world, and clicked off the first-ever NHRA six-second pass in a four-pot race car with his Chevrolet Ecotec-powered Cavalier. It was a day later in the same car that a tragic accident took the life of the man behind the horsepower. His legend, however, is one that lives on.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering was founded in the late '70s, and continues building on the tradition of velocity today. In September of 2008, distant cousin Ken Lingenfelter leveraged considerable financial resources to acquire Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, or LPE. The Camaro gracing these pages is a finished example of what Ken set out to achieve in carrying on the tradition of engineering excellence and maximum performance set in motion by John Lingenfelter some 30 years earlier-750 hp on 93 octane pump gasoline, along with a series of well-executed exterior and interior upgrades, takes this Camaro far beyond stock and falls into line with the goals Ken set when he took the helm at LPE.
"Lingenfelter's heritage is in using precision engineering to bring even more capability to already high-performing vehicles. "Our LS7 Camaro SS package follows that tradition," said Ken.

Springfield forgives loan for theaterBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | February 28,2013SPRINGFIELD Springfield has forgiven a $50,000 loan to the Springfield Housing Authority that it used to help reopen the Springfield movie theater, which was destroyed in a 2008 fire.
In a 4-0 vote, the Springfield Select Board agreed to change the original $50,000 loan to a grant. The money came from the towns revolving loan fund, which is made up of money from federal loans that are being repaid to the town.
The $50,000 loan went to a subsidiary of the housing authority, Springfield Housing Unlimited, which the housing authority used to partner with Housing Vermont to rebuild the Ellis Block in downtown Springfield. The movie theater reopened in 2011.
Town Manager Robert Forguites said loan payments were slated to start Aug. 1, and he said the movie theater, which reopened l8 months ago, was starting to make money.
Several board members said it was important to keep the theater running, and said its presence was important to the downtown.
Its serving a worthwhile purpose, said Forguites.
Forguites said the movie theater, which is owned by the housing authority, is now operated by two local residents, rather than a firm hired by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, which had assumed responsibility for the theaters operation. He said the loan forgiveness was part of the towns support of downtown revitalization.
William Morlock, executive director of the housing authority, said the new operators were doing a good job and were getting first-run movies promptly at the three-screen movie house. Its been a struggle, he said.
The housing authority had to spend $145,000 for digital projectors, since all movies are switching from film to digital by 2014, Morlock said.
The loan for the theater was one of three grants and loans held by the Housing Authority or Springfield Housing Unlimited that the board agreed to modify Monday.
Forguites said the housing authority had put a lot of money into the theater, as well as the rebuilding of the Ellis Block, which now houses about a dozen apartments.
Other loans adjusted included a community development block grant loan to the Housing Authority to purchase Mountain View Apartments. The housing authority owes the town $926,768 in principal and interest, based on a 2 percent interest rate. The loan is due as a lump sum payment on Dec. 31, 2030.
Under terms of the new agreement, the interest rate was dropped to 0 percent, and the housing authority will start making monthly payments of $4,000.
The Select Board also agreed to change the interest rate on a community development block grant the Housing Authority received to help purchase Westview Apartments. There is still $376,153 owed. The interest rate will be reduced from 2 percent to 0 percent, and the Housing Authority has agreed to make monthly payments, with a balloon payment due on Dec. 1, 2015.
The Select Board also agreed to forgive a $24,000 loan the town made from its revolving loan fund to extend water and sewer to a seven-lot subdivision on Summit Avenue. Springfield Housing Unlimited has repaid $12,000 of the $36,000 loan.
The loan was used as part of $50,000 in sewer line extension to serve Summit Avenue. The housing authority is already $72,000 in debt for the small housing development, which is expected to add $1 million to the towns grand list of taxable property.

And X is complex because they wanted it to be as platform independent as possible, they were writing an operating system ONTOP OF an existing operating system (whatever flavor of unix you ran) That complexity is a bad thing. Wayland has the right idea: the parts that can never break (Wayland) have to be minimal so that one mistake doesnt impact a trillion other things. Wayland is made to get out of the way and anything "complex" (such as multiple GPU's) is "A client problem."
If we ever hit a big changeup in the way we do graphics (Optimus) again in the future, it will help to ensure that the protocol isn't the problem. With X + Optimus the protocol WAS, and to an extent IS, the problem. Because instead of cluttering up the protocol we just introduce new libraries, new clients, and they handle the changes. All Wayland wants is pointers and buffers and a display to shove their contents onto.

Gold Weight
Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. In order to measure precise amounts of gold, an elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."

Finger Ring
The Sumerian culture in Iraq, established in the third millennium b.c., was one of the world's earliest civilizations. It reached a height of luxury known to us primarily through the elegantly crafted jewelry found in the tombs of its rulers. The ornaments exhibited here include two finger rings and two pairs of earrings in gold, and beads fashioned in gold and semiprecious stones. The beads have been restrung in modern times. Originally, they belonged to elaborate necklaces, which were often so large that their strands had to be held apart by separators. A separator on the smallest strand here consists of four attached tubes in gold (no. 3). The large round bead in lapis lazuli, with a gold cap, was the head of an ornamental pin in silver; traces of silver remain in the hole (no. 4).

With any project, it's easy for things to get out of hand. A simple, straightforward build can morph into a big-budget show animal in an instant. The "Well, I've already spent this/bought that, I might as well do this/buy that" justification takes over. That's exactly what happened to Roger Minyard.
When purchased in 2006, the '67 SS was wearing a 10-year-old restoration, with an old-school 350, Muncie four-speed, Weld wheels, and painted in a factory lacquer blue with blue interior. Little by little Roger upgraded the Nova to a Pro Touring style, replacing the Welds with Boyds Smoothies, and adding a Billet Specialties Front Runner accessory drive, Vintage Air climate system, and Covans dash package.
The engine received a heads/cam/intake upgrade, the brakes changed to Baer binders at all four corners, and the front suspension upgraded with a Classic Performance Products bolt-on front clip.
By '07, the car drove great and provided a lot of fun, but the lacquer paint was showing some wear and tear. After talking with his paint shop about what to do, Roger went with the more cost-effective alternative of stripping the car down to bare metal and having it resprayed in Mercedes Iridium Silver. The factory interior was also yanked for custom red leather trappings.
This combo would keep Roger happy until '09, when he felt the Chevy II needed bigger wheels and a better rear suspension. Mini-tubs were installed to fit 20x10 Boze Mesh rims in the rear wheelwells, and a Total Cost Involved four-link suspension with QA1 coilovers and Currie 9-inch rear was bolted in. By this point the car had built up almost $100K worth of receipts, far more than was originally intended but with much more to come.
After tearing up the autocross at that year's Goodguys Columbus show, the Nova went for a tumble. Roger had a mishap with his trailer while towing the car back from the show. The wheels were skinned up on the passenger side, and that side quarter and rocker panel got dinged up too. So, the '67 went back to the shop for some necessary repairs that would be the springboard for a major transformation.
In the process of repairing the body, it was decided to match the front suspension to the four-link system in back. Total Cost Involved got the call again and a full clip swapped in. All components of both the front and rear suspensions were detailed by polishing, powdercoating, or being replaced with stainless parts. To fill the Boze wheels better, Wilwood 14-inch brakes with six-piston calipers were called into duty at all four corners.
With all of these mods, the old Gen I small-block looked very out of place for what was now a super-modern Pro Touring machine. After careful thought and consideration, there was only one engine that could fill the Nova's engine bay properly. Before he knew it, Roger had a brand-new LS9 crate from Chevrolet Performance to drop into the TCI front clip. The old Muncie was pitched for a new Chevy Performance 6L90E slush box.
Even though he still liked the silver/red interior color combo, Roger knew the car needed a whole new paint and interior scheme. He surmised that with the same paint and interior, people would pass by the car without taking notice of all the major changes. See what we mean by "I've gone this far, might as well do this..." when it comes to cars?
Inside, a pair of Toyota Solara bucket seats went up front, covered in specially-ordered Australian leather by Paul Atkins, along with the custom-made door panels, new rear seats, and custom console Atkins also produced. The carpet is copper-colored weave, and the gauges are Auto Meter readouts mounted in a one-off dash insert.

Looks like the heat is being felt by the folks at google. Why else would they fire a direct salvo at Microsoft and declare war by announcing that they will stop Exchange ActiveSync Support (EAS) for non-business users?
Since the introduction of EAS by Microsoft in 2002, EAS has been the defacto communication protocol to sync emails, calendar and contacts. Its is also the only way to have a decent gmail experience on Windows Phone 8 devices. Google actually referred to this move as "Winter Cleaning" which can only be seen as a direct attack on Microsoft.
Microsoft has responded to this decision claiming that they were "very surprised" and that it was a "degrade" for users. They also say that if users REALLY want to do some Winter Cleaning, they should immediately switch to Outlook.com. As of now, when google stops EAS support, WP8 users will have a tough time – since the platform only supports POP.
What a d*** move.

New For 2014The 2014 Fiat 500L is all-new and is the first generation of the model. Fans of the brand, however, will recognize that the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine comes straight from the Fiat 500 Abarth hot hatch.
Vehicle SummaryThe 2014 Fiat 500L is the second model line in Fiat's U.S. portfolio. Although the Italian brand offers numerous different models overseas, it started here with just the diminutive 500 hatchback and convertible. Despite sharing the 500 moniker and similar design cues, the 500 and the 500L share almost no engineering and mechanicals. That said, the concept of a larger Cinquecento variant more adept at ferrying people and stuff isn't new. Even before the introduction of the original 500 in 1957, Fiat's lineup included the 600 Multipla minibus. That original Multipla had the same essence as the new Fiat 500L: a Cinquecento with more space for those who need it.
The design of the 2014 Fiat 500L was equally as inspired by the Cinquecento lineage as it was by the 600 Multipla and the late-1990s Multipla. The more recent Multipla debuted with strange, two-tier styling, a bulbous greenhouse, and lights mounted at the base of the A-pillars, although it eventually underwent a face-lift that toned down the styling. The Fiat 500L looks like it could be the follow-up to the 1998-2010 Multipla. It has a similar short nose, long and raked windshield, and large glass area. Like previous Multiplas, there's an excellent use of interior space despite a small exterior footprint.
OverviewWith the 2014 Fiat 500L, the brand is looking to capitalize on its chic and cheeky 500 microcar and appeal to folks who were shut out from the Italian hatchback due to its small size. The 500L rides on Fiat's new "Small U.S. Wide" platform, which is an enlarged version of the underpinnings from the Europe-only Grande Punto compact hatch. Powering the Fiat 500L is a 1.4-liter turbocharged I-4 sourced from the sporty 500 Abarth; in the 500L, the turbo four-cylinder is rated for 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options both offer six speeds -- a manual gearbox is standard, while a dual-clutch automatic (called the Euro Twin Clutch) is a $1350 standalone option. Fiat has promised that a traditional six-speed automatic is in the works for the beginning of 2014. We prefer the manual transmission, as the dual-clutch shifts clunkily and is slow to respond to inputs; the manual has long throws and the clutch is overly light, but it feels distinctly European and helps make the most of the 1.4-liter's power. Buyers looking for a fun, funky compact people mover who don't mind giving up some dynamic capability for an all-around more usable package may find the Fiat 500L to be the best in its class.
While the powertrain won't wow most drivers, the cabin will. The design is a bit staid -- especially when compared to the expressive exterior design -- but Fiat's engineers have added glass panels to help enhance visibility around the pillars. Add a full-length glass sunroof (a $950 option on all but the base Pop model), and the cabin feels almost convertible-like, minus the wind-in-your-hair experience. Combine that with a seating position that's higher than most cars but lower than an SUV, and the Fiat 500L has great views in all directions. The cabin is light, airy, and open, which is a welcome foil to the competition's dark and encapsulating interiors. With 21.3 cubic feet of cargo space, the Fiat 500L also has more room behind the rear seats than its competition from Kia, Mini, Nissan, and Scion.
You'll like:
- Bright and airy interior
- Peppy engine
- Competitive price
You won't like:
- Lumpy exterior styling
- Clunky and unrefined dual-clutch automatic
- Lots of body roll in corners
Key Competitors
- Kia Soul
- Mini Cooper Countryman
- Nissan Cube

Vinny Magalhaes:
Level is not about numbers; level is about skills. And as far as skill goes, I think I have way more skills than him and I think it becomes a mismatch once were fighting each other, said Magalhaes in an interview with the UFC, pointing out that rankings mean little once the cage door closes.
Though Magalhaes is willing to admit he may not have Davis credentials when it comes to collegiate success on the mat, he isnt concerned considering the confidence he has in his own abilities.
Wrestling, I will give that to Phil Davis, but who cares? He takes me down, thats my world, said the decorated BJJer. He thinks he can (grapple) because hes been fighting a bunch of cans who cannot. And he cannot strike. Every time people throw a punch he just falls, tries to shoot. He becomes like a NCAA wrestler.

Vampires, but Bitchier
Watch The Originals Online is a site about the bitchiest bloodsuckers to ever show up on the boob tube. Don't get us wrong, there is lots of blood sucking, random violence, magic, and sex. Those seem to be the ingredients for any vampire fiction these days. But this vampires are conniving. They go behind each other's backs four times removed. And since it's about original vampires that can be staked without really dying, they kill each other a lot, too.
But the web site and Buddy Spudz agree, the show is way watchable. Whether you like hot guys or hot girls, the screen is always full of the beautifully undead. The characters are complex, the story lines are layered and interwoven. www.watchtheoriginalsonline.com is interesting as a site in it's own right. It gives you the skinny on the show and shines a spotlight on the three original vampire siblings who form the heart of the show. Wow, you've been watching too many vampire shows when you refer to someone as being 'the heart' of something and picture that heart ripped out of its original owner and in someone else's hand. Job hazard, we guess.
But as the headline implies, you should be warned that these are the bitchiest vampires we've ever seen. They get very angry for very little reason. And to quote the Hulk, you wouldn't like them when they're angry. They will slaughter your whole family to make you crazy, then they'll torture you, then and only then will they kill you. And all just makes them more interesting. We worry about what that says about us.
At any rate, check out the site and you'll see what we're talking about.

Police Link, FriendSummary: God broke the mold when he made Matt. He's one of the best Aussie cops there is, as well as one of the best LEOs in all of the world. He has integrity, incredible work ethics, and great people skills. He does an amazing job honoring fallen Australian police officers and ones that served in the Aussie military. He's a dear, close friend of mine and it saddens me he's so far away, but I love him to death and if I was in trouble, I'd want him there by my side. Lots of love for you mate!

A one and a half mile long tornado roared through Yazoo City, Miss., over the weekend killing 10, and leaving thousands without power or homes.
CNN, covers the story through a series of photographs that show the scenes around the city giving a clear image of the devestation and destruction. The story takes an interesting by having the lede be about 3 children that were killed among the 10 announced dead so far. They also have surviors tell their stories along with an eye witness who saw it all happen and unfold. There is no anchor for this story, as it just is bits and pieces put together.
MSNBC, covers the story through the Today Show, and has a reporter right at the scene walking through thr rumble and describing what he feels as he walks and what he smells. Its very affective in giving you a physical sense to go along with the visual video. In the middle of the live broadcast though, they bring back the anchor in New York to ask the reporter questions about the story which keeps the story going and transistions into another aspect of the story, which is the death toll, and how people are getting in and out of the city to retrieve whats left of their belongings and see their homes. For a story such as this one, having a television broadcast gives the people a much better insight as to what is going on after such a disaster.
