Catholic in the Public Square
Following the teachings of the Catholic Church means that you will always be on the right side of history, which is the side of human dignity.
I urge, then first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority.
1 Timothy 2:1-2
I'm looking at three cards that were left on my desk on the House floor by people who visited this chamber when we were out of session.
Each of these cards promises me that the person who placed it here will pray for me while the legislature is in session.
To the people who left these cards, I say thank you.
We all like to take pot shots at our elected officials, especially our president. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's the American way.
But it's also good to pause from time to time and pray for these individuals. Whether you agree with them or not — whether your like them or not — I can tell you that those who hold elective office carry a heavy burden. It is sobering to know that your mistakes can cost people their lives, their livelihoods, or that they can give people a hope and a future.
I want to ask Public Catholic readers to take a moment on this President's Day to pray for one specific elected official. Let's offer prayer for President Obama.
People who read this blog may have realized that I have serious areas of disagreement with the President's policies. But he needs my prayers … and yours.
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has good information about how to pray for elected officials. Go to the link below and check it out.
From Bill Graham Evangelistic Association:
We're glad that God has given you a heart to pray for our President, members of Congress, the Senate and other elected officials. This is a fundamental privilege and calling we have as Christians. The Apostle Paul linked these prayers to the peace of a nation: "that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (v. 2).
But there's something more. Paul followed this with an insight into God's underlying work throughout all history: "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth" (vv. 3–4).
At the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, our mission is to share this Good News of Jesus Christ around the world, so that all people may hear of God's saving power and come to know His truth.

Thank you for joining with us in prayer. May God bless you.
Archbishop John J Myers, the New Jersey bishop who allowed a convicted child-molesting priest to return to ministry with children, is retiring.
According to NJ.com, Archbishop Myers is planning to retire to an $800,000 mansion, which he is refurbishing with diocesan dollars to the tune of another $500,000.
That doesn't compare with the 40-million euros the Bishop of Bling spent, but it's far beyond what seems needed and necessary for the comfortable retirement of one elderly priest, even in New Jersey's inflated real estate dollars.
He is adding a 3,000 square foot addition to the already large house. The addition will have an indoor exercise pool, three fireplaces and an elevator. To top it off, the half million to build this thing does not include fees for the architects, cost of furnishings (furnishing this much real estate won't be cheap) or landscaping.
I think we should also add the inevitable cost of upkeep, cleaning, etc. I rather doubt that Arichbishop Myers plans to do his own vacuuming and dusting.
My own Archbishop lives in a modest ranch-style home. The retired Archbishop of Oklahoma City, who I think of as my spiritual father, also lives modestly.
It is possible that this building will not be used solely as a residence for Archbishop Myers. Maybe it will be a retirement home for a number of priests, and not just the Archbishop. Frankly, I'm having a hard time believing that he would do something this stupid and destructive in these times.
Nothing in the news story indicates that the residence is intended to be anything more than Archbishop Myers' private home. But if it turns out that there is another side to this story, I will be happy to write about it here.
In these times of imploding culture, when the Church and the faithful are under attack from so many quarters, we are desperately in need of inspiration and leadership from behind the altar. What Archbishop Myers appears to be doing with his retirement home isn't it.
Update: My friend and colleague Kathy Schiffer has a different take on this here.
From NJ.com:
The 4,500-square-foot home sits on 8.2 wooded acres in the hills of Hunterdon County. With five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a three-car garage and a big outdoor pool, it's valued at nearly $800,000, records show.
But it's not quite roomy enough for Newark Archbishop John J. Myers.
Myers, who has used the Franklin Township house as a weekend residence since the archdiocese purchased it in 2002, is building a three-story, 3,000-square-foot addition in anticipation of his retirement in two years, The Star-Ledger found. He will then move in full-time, a spokesman for the archbishop said.
The new wing, now just a wood frame, will include an indoor exercise pool, a hot tub, three fireplaces, a library and an elevator, among other amenities, according to blueprints and permits filed with the Franklin Township building department.
The price tag, the records show, will be a minimum of a half million dollars, a figure that does not include architectural costs, furnishings and landscaping.
Construction is progressing as Myers asks the 1.3 million Roman Catholics of the archdiocese to open their wallets for the "archbishop's annual appeal," a fundraising effort that supports an array of initiatives, including religious education, the training of future priests and feeding the poor.
It slipped past quietly, while we were ordering roses for Valentine's Day and chattering about the latest political gaffe story.
Even those who watch these things were distracted by the stench of death rising from Belgium in the wake of their parliament's vote to allow doctors to euthanize children and people with dementia.
It got lost, mostly, in the many federal court rulings hacking down votes of the people concerning marriage in the various states. These decisions keep coming with the click-click-click of falling dominoes as unelected judges flatten the will of the people.
We didn't notice that one of these federal judges reached up and switched off the light.
If his ruling stands, Judge John G Heyburn II will go down in history as the man who killed marriage.
Last week was the week that marriage died, along with the notion that the evil of euthanasia is at least contained inside the platitudinous promises we've heard for so many years that it is about "helping" people die who are terminally ill and suffering unendurable, untreatable pain, and who ask for and consent to it to exercise their "right."
Now we kill children and those with dementia who can not, by definition, either understand or consent to such a thing. We kill those whose minds are muddled by dementia, but who may not be suffering either physical or emotional pain at all. They may, in fact, be quite happy. The only reason for granting them the "right" to be medically murdered is that they are a burden to someone with the wits to "consent" to their death for them.
The Belgian Parliament's crime against humanity was quite enough for most of us. It slipped right past most people that this ruling by this federal judge was a lot more than another member of our imperial judiciary, doing his part to destroy our culture by one falling domino at a time.
This ruing is different. It is, as they say, the whole ball of wax. Federal Judge John G Heyburn II ruled that Kentucky must recognize gay marriages that are enacted in other states.
Judge Heyburn did not issue this ruling based on a vagary of the Kentucky law. He extended last summer's Supreme Court decision in the Windsor case that overturned DOMA to the states. What I mean by that is that he did not overturn the Kentucky law, he created a new law.
Judge Heyburn extended the DOMA ruling to the states. That federalizes marriage and legalizes gay marriage by fiat in all 50 states. Even though his ruling did not require the state of Kentucky to allow the performance of gay marriages within its borders, there was considerable verbiage in support of that move within what I can only describe as the patronizing preaching of the ruling.
What Judge Heyburn did was require the state to extend the full legal protections and privileges of marriage to homosexual marriages that are performed elsewhere.
At the same time, he clearly and specifically placed homosexuality under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. He defined sexual preference as a class of people rather than a trait found in many classes of people.
If this ruling is upheld, it will have the effect of forcing every state in the union to recognize gay marriage. It also has implications that go far beyond the question of marriage.
It's no longer click-click-click. It is now, zip-zap-game-over. Marriage is federalized and the states have nothing to say about it. In less than a year, last summer's hydra-headed DOMA decision will have done its do.
That is why I say that last week was the week when Western civilization became a dead man walking. These two actions — the legalized killing of innocents and the destruction of marriage — taken together, are the end of who we have been and the beginning anew of what we spent a very long time in our ancient history overcoming.
Congratulations Judge Heyburn and members of the Belgian parliament. Your footnote in history is reserved.
This is the story of the real Monuments Men on whose work the movie is based.
Americans should be proud that we did this. It is a powerful demonstration of who we were.
To what extent is it who we still are?
The video below is a newscast describing the vote to euthanize children in Belgium. It does not mention it in this video, but the same law also allows doctors to euthanize people with dementia.
Dementia is a vague diagnosis that is not necessarily life threatening. It can range from mild forgetfulness to a complete loss of mental faculties.
Dementia can be a cause of emotional distress in its early stages, when the person realizes they are forgetting. But once they pass this, it is no longer a problem for them. Dementia is not painful physically and it does not mean the person is unhappy.
My mother, who has dementia, is quite happy and enjoys her life. She tells me over and over again how much fun she is having when we go out for drives or she eats her daily ice cream cone. She always tells me that it's been months since she's eaten ice cream, and she enjoys it with the relish of someone who really hasn't had ice cream for months.
My mother is not useless. She is a totally lovable and rather spoiled elderly child. She is not suffering.
My father, who did not have dementia, went through a period of increasing helplessness and decline before he died. That is nothing terrible that must be shortened to "spare" either the dying or their caregivers. It is a natural phase of life. Rather than a call for us to take up killing people, it is an opportunity for us to show our love in tangible and wonderful ways.
The opportunity to care for the people you love as they take their leave of this life is a gift to you. It is an exhausting experience, sometimes sad, sometimes surprisingly joyous. It is tender and so full of love that it lights up your life, even as you grieve the many losses of their decline.
My father died twenty years ago. No one urged me to dump him in a home or to withdraw food or water to "allow" him to die. But that was then. My time of caring for my failing Mama is in this new now of the post Christian West.
I have had a number of people, including medical personnel, urge me to do things that would either destroy my mother's happiness and quality of life, or that would result in her premature death. Their reason? Sometimes they say that caring for her is too much "burden" for me. Other times, they don't even bother with that gloss but demand that I do these things as if it was my responsibility to them to kill my own mother.
Make no mistake about it: Advanced directives and carping medical "advice" that has nothing to do with medicine and everything to do with social values can be and often are used as a not-so-subtle way to bully people into euthanizing their loved ones.
We are not even one step away from the full-blown slaughter of "useless eaters" of our horrific past. We keep inching toward it in a movement fueled by media propaganda and sophisticated lies concerning what we are doing. The glam we put on murder only hides the reality of it from those who want to be deceived.
I have not — ever — expressed the thought that caring for my mother is a "burden," much less that it is "too much" for me and I should institutionalize her or even hasten her death to save myself from the trouble of taking care of her.
I am appalled and angered by these repeated, intrusive and usually censorious and judgmental demands that I do away with my mother. But that is the world in which we live. It is a bleak, selfish and utterly cold culture of death.
Wendy Davis tried to broaden her appeal with a bit of mushy political-talk about 20 week abortions. But instead of making herself sound nuanced and thoughtful, she ended up looking all flip-floppy on her core issue.
The internet is all a-tweeter over comments she made in an interview with the Dallas Morning News. I had seen the claims that she had come out in favor of a ban for abortions after twenty weeks into pregnancy. Reading them made me kinda wonder who was smoking what.
After a bit of digging, it seemed clear to me that everybody involved had a toke or two.
Here's what Senator Davis actually said. She is referring to the bill which was the target of her famous filibuster:
I would have and could have voted to allow that to go through, if I felt like we had tightly defined the ability for a woman and a doctor to be making this decision together and not have the Legislature get too deep in the weeds of how we would describe when that was appropriate.
Huh? Or, as we say North of the Red River, Come again?
Did she say she was in favor of banning abortions after 20 weeks, with provisos? Or, did she say was opposed to banning it? Or … maybe … she said she was in favor of abortion anytime, but would vote for a ban that didn't stop a woman from having an abortion if she (and her doctor, of course) made the decision herself.
Humph. So … what she said was … nothing, all dressed up to look like something?
You betcha, boys and girls. That's exactly what she said.
This is the woman who engaged in a 13-hour filibuster, complete with pink running shoes and a catheter, in a desperate fight to kill legislation that, among other things, banned all but a few abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Now, she's saying she could have voted for that bill, if … well, if what?
Read her statement again.
If you think that statement says Senator Wendy Davis supports banning abortions after 20 weeks, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn we need to talk about.
This is mushy political-talk designed to give the appearance of a softer stand for the upcoming election. She's not backing off of anything. She just doing what she has to do with an issue like abortion in red-state Texas. She's trying to look like she's nuanced and fair-minded and could be persuaded by other nuanced and fair-minded people.
She is, in Okie parlance, trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
President Obama engaged in some famous back-tracking of his own when he ran for president. In fact, he flat-out lied when he said that he had not used his power as an Illinois State Senate committee chairman to kill an infant born alive bill and then in another legislative session, voted against it.
The difference is that the boys who write the stories went along with then Senator Obama and his lies. It would have been as easy as taking a breath for a reporter to come back with, "But Senator, the record/recordings/testimonies show that what you say is untrue."
But they didn't. They let him lie, and by doing that, they helped him lie.
Senator Davis may well have been counting on the same kind of help with her electoral twists and turns. But it appears she's wrong. The same commenters and reporters who shamelessly bearded the American public for Senator Obama are going at Wendy Davis with their full force.
The facts are that Senator Wendy Davis has built what national reputation she has entirely on her absolutist stand for abortion.
When she tries to soften that with obfuscations, she forgets that she's not playing to the home crowd anymore. The same national notoriety that gave her the idea of running for Governor of Texas is going to plague her every step of the race.
The national press is not going to beard for her the way they do President Obama. When she gets lost on the way to the rodeo, everyone, everywhere, will know about it.
A federal judge in Kentucky killed marriage this week.
A parliamentary vote in Belgium officially raised the Ashteroths and reinstituted the Baals in the name of medical Molochs.
It was the week that Western civilization, already weakened by the blood loss from the decades-long practice of cultural self-cutting, was given its death sentence. What we were and what we would like to think we still are is now a dead man walking, waiting for the final woof! of implosion that pushes us back down to the muck from which we came.
My first thought was to drape this blog in black crepe and declare a day of mourning. We civilized folk of the Western world now kill everyone, everywhere, with a pasted on silly-smile of patently bogus "consent." The real consent is the one we have given ourselves; the consent to kill people from conception to the tremors and dependance of old age. No one is safe from the scythe.
And yet, the yammering for more continues unabated. Last night, when I googled euthanasia, I came across a forever-to-be-nameless blog that was chortling over the rise in public acceptance of medical murder, which polite folk like to call euthanasia. This blogger, who earns his literary bread by selling atheism, went on to say that this public approval of killing grandma pits Christians even more solidly against the culture of what's happening now. This is, the writer said, an "opportunity" for him and his to gain converts.
The question arises: Converts to what?
Certainly not a disbelief in God, since that question never arises in this or most similar analyses. This wasn't an argument against the existence of God. It was a smug rejoicing in the increasingly widespread public rebellion against God.
Rebellion and disbelief are two entirely different things.
But what of those of us who will not rebel against our Maker? We are free, unlike these self-appointed little g gods who have taken the power of life and death onto themselves, to not have to decide.
The burden of when to kill our elderly, murder our children, flush our unborn is removed from us. We know and accept that this is murder, plain and simple, and we will not do it.
By the same token, we do not eschew the pleasures of home and family. We still have our marriages between one man and one woman in lifelong fealty. We're not burdened with the living death of empty sexual hooking up, polyamory, swinging and endless rounds of coupling and uncoupling. We have said "no" to the insect sexuality of modern day culture and the hollowed-out death of self that it ultimately brings.
We are human, and we know that means we are made in the image and likeness of the Eternal God.
We are free from these animalistic ways of living. Or we try to be. And when we fail, we go to Him to be washed clean so we can begin again.
What of us on this Valentine's Day that falls on the Friday of the week that Western Civilization finally convicted itself and placed its life on death row?
We chose — of our own convictions — to withhold our support for this mass suicide of a whole world. We chose — through the enabling power of the merciful grace of a God Who loves us so much that He died for us — to go another way.
My husband of 30 years and I talked about the killing field that is Belgium over dinner last night. "Next, they will kill the disabled, the mentally ill, the mentally challenged," he said. "That has already begun," I told him, speaking of the two men who were euthanized because they were going blind, the many who have died because they were depressed, the untold numbers of the unborn who have been slaughtered for being disabled.
Who's next for this "right" to be killed?
Marriage died in America the day before Belguim enlarged the killing fields of medical murder to include all of humanity. The symmetry is unmistakable. We destroy the home, the family, and the lives of our young and old, all in one week.
And yet, there are those of us who do not bend our knee to the Baals. If we are to be the remnant, a 21st century version of the 7,000 that God revealed to Elijah; if we are those whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him, then that is our honor and our privilege.
A husband of 30 years that I can share these thoughts with is a considerable reward for living the life Christ asks of me. Sons who are fine young men with values and kind hearts is another great reward.
But nothing, not even these wonderful things, can compare with the pearl of great price that is knowing and loving and walking with Jesus Christ.
He has saved me from the pit in which that other blogger I spoke of earlier, lies wallowing. He has lifted the deadly choice of killing grandma off my shoulders and left me free to love and, yes, to sacrifice for, my elderly parent.
He has given me the gift of love in my life and His own love, pouring down on me every day. He has spared me from the bloodguilt of killing my family members.
All of this in exchange for simply accepting that He — and not me — is God.
It's Valentine's Day. And on this day, those of us who follow Him have the many gifts of living good in this life, with eternal life ahead of us. In addition, He has also given us one another.
If we are today's 7,000 who will not bend our knee to the Baals, then let's rejoice and be glad for our salvation. Let us resolve to be the light that shines in this new darkness.
We, out of all this black morass of killing and license, are the ones who have chosen, by our free acceptance of the gift of God and His grace, to be blessed.
St Thomas said, "my Lord and my God." My Lord, which means the One who decides. You decide, not me. You judge. I am the judged. You are the Lord of my life, which means I give fealty to you in all areas of my existence; in my work, play, home, and down to the secret corners of me that only You and I know exist. You are my Lord, my God. I do not confuse myself by thinking that I am the Lord. I know always, that the Lord of my life is you.
Jesus, born of a human mother, raised as the son of a carpenter, died at the hands of rapacious human power. You are human and I am human. You understand hunger, thirst, grief and temptation. You know what it is to be tortured, mocked, humiliated, shamed and murdered. You understand absolutely what it is to be helpless prey in the hands of human monsters in whom there is no pity, no remorse, not a shred of kindness. You are Jesus, my brother, who understands me with the tenderness of having been there with me in the depths of my experience.
Fulfiller of prophecy, God made human, the Great I Am; you are the Christ, the only Way to eternal life. Your death and resurrection are the unending testament to the Christ, the Savior of the World that you are.
Begotten, not made, You, who are the son of Mary, are also the great I Am. You declared "Before Abraham was, I Am," and by saying that, you identified yourself forever with the One who has no beginning and will have no end.
God, Who lives and reigns over all creation. God, Who made everything, everywhere. God Who is outside time, outside the rules that govern existence, but Who, through the miracle of His greatness calls to every human heart. You, Oh Lord, are Son and One with Him.
Only faith in Your love could allow me to approach Your throne and ask for mercy. I do not deserve mercy. My hubris and sin define me too clearly as undeserving and lost. But You came to live among us, You died on the cross, for me and my lostness. You came to seek and find me, to redeem me, to bring me to You, and through Your sacrifice to restore me to what I was intended to be. You, Who have no sin, become sin, my sin, to pay the price and ransom me, to save me from getting what I deserve and from eternal death.
Me. The one and only me that ever was or ever will be. The beautiful, priceless, totally unique and beautiful me that You have created in Your image, and into whom You breathed the breathe of life. I not just a body that processes chemicals and will one day die and rot. I am a living soul, and my soul was made in Your Image. You gave me the power to chose, to decide, to go my own way and live according to whatever light I decide to follow. You made me free, even to reject You. Or, to turn to You to love You and accept Your guidance like the child I am, slipping my hand into the hand of my Father.
I am a child of the Fall, as well as a child of God. The stubborn stain of original sin mars my soul and leads me into the idolatry of self. I, who came to life on the breath of the Living God, am prone to iniquity. I can not stop myself. I can not do otherwise. I will sin. Of myself, there can be no salvation.
Which is why I pray,
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Outdoor Ad Revenue Up in 2003
Washington, D.C., March 3, 2004 – The outdoor industry revenue rallied to post strong growth in the fourth quarter of 2003 with a 5.7% increase over the same period last year and an overall increase of 5.2% in 2003 compared to 2002.
"This is the first year of growth after two flat years, out-pacing overall ad industry earnings of 5.1%," said Stephen Freitas, chief marketing officer for the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. According to industry reports, outdoor's performance surpassed broadcast TV (0.5%), radio (1.0%), and newspapers (1.9%).
Outdoor media performance was robust across most of the top 10 advertising categories for the year with Local Services & Amusements, the largest spending category, remaining solid with 11.8% growth. The biggest gains came in the Automotive category, which posted a 34.3% increase for the year. Other sizable gains were in the Financial (23.8%) and Insurance & Real Estate (20.2%) categories, reflecting the continued resurgence of the U.S. economy, driven largely by lower mortgage rates and new homes. Automotive Dealers (7.3%), Restaurants (4.0%), Retail (2.4%), and Media & Advertising (2.0%) all reported gains. (Please see attached charts.)
Outdoor is expected to grow 2% over the GDP during the next 12 months. Early indications from OAAA member companies are that outdoor revenue has maintained a steady rise in 2004.
OAAA is the largest trade association representing the outdoor advertising industry. It is dedicated to leading and uniting a responsible outdoor advertising industry that is committed to serving the needs of consumers, advertisers and the public. The OAAA's nearly 1,100 member companies generate more than $5 billion annually in ad revenues, representing more than 90% of industry income, and donate space to charitable organizations in excess of $300 million each year.

Hi, I was previously using "Revision Control" but just switched to this instead.
I don't know much about how WP databases work, so I apologize if this is a dumb question...
I saw that someone in the support forum for that plugin said it was only deleting data from the wp_posts table and leaving everything in the wp_postmeta table.
I noticed my wp_postmeta table has over 2,700 rows and I only around 40 posts, so I figured I had the same problem and decided to try this plugin instead.
When I ran this plugin I expected it would get rid of most of those rows but it only deleted around 9 or so.
Does that mean all those other rows are necessary, or is this plugin just not catching the useless ones for some reason?

Astros send Lane to Padres
Updated: September 24, 2007, 11:24 PM ETAssociated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- Needing a fast fix in their injury-depleted outfield, the San Diego Padres acquired Jason Lane from the Houston Astros on Monday for a player to be named or cash.
Lane was expected to join the club Tuesday, when San Diego also planned to bring up Drew Macias and switch-hitting Chase Headley from Double-A San Antonio.

1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Holiday Hardtop
1959 was the last year of the big Horsepower for Oldsmobile until the muscle car era would arrive, it was also the last time Oldsmobile won the Daytona 500, with Richard Petty at the wheel of his 1959 Olds Dynamic 88 Hardtop he won by only a fender length. The 371 Cubic Inch Motor was known for it's big horsepower and even bigger torque.
The Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 for 1959 had fins that started atop the front fenders and rose as they went to the back in rocket-shaped appendages. The Oldsmobile designers called it the 'Linear Look' and was an extreme departure shape from its highly chromed 1958 predecessor.
Oldsmobile had three series for 1959, the Dynamic 88, the high-performance Super 88, and the ultra-luxury Ninety-Eight. The two-door hardtop was named the 'Holiday SceniCoupe.'
This Dynamic 88 is powered by the standard 371 cubic-inch 'Rocket' V8 engine and fitted with an optional four-speed 'Jetaway' Hydra-Matic transmission and optional two-tone paint. It was sold new by Dick Smith Oldsmobile of Melbourne Florida on April 21st of 1959. The current owner purchased the car from the original owner's family in 1984.
By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
Introduced in 1949, the full-size Oldsmobile 88 was produced until 1999 and became the top-selling line for twenty-four years. Produced in Wentzville, Missouri, and both Flint and Lake Orion, Michigan, the Oldsmobile Eighty Eight was a representation of an image. Especially during the beginning three years, the Oldsmobile 88 was one of the best performing automobiles. This was most likely due to its small size, along with the lightweight and advanced over-head valve high-compression V8 engines. This engine was originally intended for the larger, more luxurious 98 series.
Named to complement the already existing 76 and 98 series, the 88 which was considered to be the grandaddy of musclecars of the 1960s was first introduced in 1949, and utilized the 76's platform with a newly added large and powerful Rocket V8 engine. Popular duriing its time, the Eighty Eight inspired a popular song 'Rocket 88' and a popular 1950's slogan, 'Make a Date with a Rocket 88'. The rocket was eventually adoped as the Oldmsobile logo during the 1960's, though the 88 name continued to remain in the lineup until the late 1990's.
During the 1950's several updates to the Eighty Eight included a one-piece windshield unit as the replacement of the two-piece windshield with the addition of the Holiday Hardtop to the Oldsmobile line. At the same time, a three-speed manual transmission with column shift also became available as a 'delete for credit' option to the Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. After the 1950 model year, the six-cylinder 76 lineup was dropped entirely as the Eighty Eight now outsold the previoius line.
In 1951 a more luxurious version of the basic 88, the new Super 88 model was introduced. This new model continued in production until 1964 and was replaced by the new Delta 88 for 1965. In 1958, the newest entry level model below the Super 88 was introduced, the Oldsmobile Dynamic Rocket 88 Pillarless Coupe', or the Dynamic 88.
The Jetstar I was introduced in 1964. Sharing several of the mid-size car components with the F-85 line, the Jetstar 88 utilized the smaller 330 8, and the Jetaway two-speed autommatic transmission rather the Hydra-Matic found in other Oldsmobiles. The main competitor to the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Jetstar I was only produced for two years, and shared the same $3,500 price range. Though it included less standard equipment, the Jetstar I had the same notchback body style and more powerful Rocket V8 engine as the Starfire. With a concave rear window, the Jetstar I is easily distinguishable from the Jetstar 88 and the Starfire who share convex rear windows.
The Oldsmobile division introduced a new Vista Cruiser wagon during 1964 that featured both skylights and a raised roofline over the rear seat and cargo area. The final year for Oldsmobile to offer full-sized station wagons for several more years, the new Vista Cruiser was really a stretched out version of the F-85/Cutlass wagons with a wheelbase that was siz-inches longer. The Vista, which offered six or nine passenger seating that all faced forward, shared the same 330 cubic-inch Jetfire Rocket V8 that was found in the mid-sized models.
During the 1965 year, all Oldsmobile models featured new styling and engineering. The C-body Ninety-Eights now had more formal, square lines, while the B-body cars now featured a more rounded styling with Coke-bottle profiles, and the Holiday (two-door hardtop) coupes featured semi-fastback rooflines. During this model year, the division was concentrating on its cargo-carrying bussiness on the stretched-intermediate Vista Cruiser wagons and no station wagons were offered in the full-sized Oldsmobile lineup.
An upscale trim line of the Dynamic 88, the Delta name was introduced in 1965 and replaced the previous top-series B-body Oldsmobiles, the Super 88. Originally referred to as the Dynamic 88 Deltas, the name reverted to Delta 88 within a few weeks. Marketed as a separate series by Oldsmobile, these models were known as the Delta 88. The wheelbase remained unchanged at 123 inches. In 1965 a new convertible was added to the Delta 88 line.
In that same year, the new, luxurius Ninety-Eighty Luxury Sedan was introduced. Featuring an even more luxurious interier than regular Nintey-Eight models, the 98 LS's came with vinyl roofs offered only in black for the 1965 model year. The new LS's also had more standard amentities that included power windows and seats.
The new Super Rocket V8 was introduced in 1965 and featured 425 cubic-inches and had a horsepower rating that ranged from 300 to 370 depending on both carburetion and compression ratio. Replacing the original Hydra-Matic transmission that had been standard to Oldmsobile since the 1940's was the new three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission with torque converter.
The full-sized Oldsmobile line received few changes during the following year other than revised grilles and tail sections. Only offered as a hardtop coupe, the lower-priced Starfire was introduced while the sporty Jetstar I series was dropped. The leather seats were replaced by Moroccen vinyl, and was downgraded from standard to optional equipement was the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, power brakes and steering.
Replacing both the Dynamic 88 and Jetstar 88, the Delmont 88 was introduced in 1967 and featured a 330 V8. Updated to the 350 V8 in 1968 as standard equipment, the 425 V8 was an option on the Delmont, and standard on both the Delta 88 and the Ninety-Eight. The Delmont 88 was only produced for two years. A new subseries of the Delta 88 was formed in 1967, the Delta Custom, which featured a more plush interior. The four-door sedan, the Holiday or the 2-door hardtop coupe Holiday came with a choice of eithe rStrato bucket seats with console or a Strato bench seat with an armrest. The successor to the former 88-based Oldsmobile Starfire series, the Delta custom Holiday Coupe had a standard Oldsmobile semi-fastback roofline instead of the Starfire's concave rear window and squared off roof.
Designed to regulate carburetor air temperature, a Climate Combustion Control system and front disc brakes were added as options to the Rocket V8s. These new options would boost fuel economy, along with speed coke warm up, while it eliminated winter icing and permitted easier starting along with more efficient operation during cold weather. The 1967 full-sized Oldsmobile now featured more rounded styling cues, with longer hoods, shorter decks along with more sweeping fastback rooflines on the 88 Holiday coupes.
The following year, an eventual Oldsmobile trademark was introduced in the front end split-grille design. In 1968 the Delmont 88 received a larger 350 cubic-inch V8 engine that became standard equipment. The Delmont name was dropped in 1969 and replaced with the Delta 88 which appeared as a full-line series featuring the Delta 88 Custom.
The standard engine was a 350 cubic-inch Rocket V8 and the base Delta 88 came with a two-barrel carburetor that was rated at 250 horsepower. Optional on the base series was a two-barrel version of the 455 cubic-inch V8 which was rated at 310 horsepower, and standard on the Delta 88 Custom and Royale models. The four-barrel Ultra High Compression 455 cubic-inch V8 that was rated at 365 horsepower was optional, while standard on the Ninety-Eight. The 390-horsepower version of the four-barrel 455 V8 was a top option that was available in all Delta 88 models as the W-33 option.
In 1969, the wheelbase was increased by one-inch to '124 on the Delta 88 and '127 on the Ninety-Eight, while all full-sized Oldsmobiles were completely restyled with more squared off rooflines and bodylines. Previously offered as an optionon the smaller engine 88 models, the two-speed Jetaway automatic was dropped completely for the three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission that was previously only offered with the larger engines. An option on the Delta 88 and standard on the Ninety-Eight was the new GM-designed Variable-Ratio Power Steering system.
A slightly revised rear section and a new split grille that no longer extended to surround the headlights were the only detail changes in 1970. Both 350 and 455 cubic-inch Rocket V8's featured 'Positive Valve Rotators' to enhance the engine life and encourage more efficient operation and powertrain selections were carried over from 1969 models.
A Chevrolet Caprice Clone, the 1977 Custom Cruiser wagon had a production time of two years before being discontinued in 1979. The 88 on the GM B platform now offered two body styles, the coupe and the town sedan. The Royale Brougham became the high-line model of the 88 in 1980 and continued in this status until 1983. Oldsmobiles most luxurious rear-wheel drive vehicle was the new Delta 88 Royale Broughan LS model of the 88, released after a major redesign in 1985. A Holiday model that featured a floor-mounted shifter and console between the front seats of a Delta 88 coupe was released in 1978 until 1981.
The Delta 88 switched from the GM B platform to the GM H platform in 1986. The GM H was much smaller and came with only 110.8 in. wheelbase. Becoming sinply the Eighty Eight', the 'Delta' prefix was dropped in 1989 along with the hood ornament. Redesigned again in 1992, the Eighty-Eight received a minor facelift in 1990. The last Eighty Eight or 88 model from Oldsmobile, it was finally replaced by the Aurora for 2001, a V6-powered base.

I am having a problem with my C Drive as it continually loses free space. I keep backing up and deleting files, but the easy ones are all off (those folders that are 100 MB and larger that can be easily moved or backupped and deleted from the C).
I did free up the 100 GB drive to 8 GB, but a couple of weeks later it was down to 4 GB. I searched for new or modified files in that time, but there was no substantial files (bigger than 1 MB). So I am not sure why I am increasing usage / losing free space.
I used http://windirstat.info/ to find out where my disk space is has gone, but could not see any change either.
I have norton anti-virus, but it hasn't found anything.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the two large .sys files, but with 3 GB of RAM, my friend tells me the sizes of my hiberfil.sys (3.15 GB) and pagefile.sys (3.45 GB) are appropriate.
I have also tried defragmenting. For some reason, this made it worse. Recently I removed files to go from 3 GB free space back up to 5 GB. In that time though, the free space dropped to 4.6 GB. Then when I ran the defragment tool on Vista, the free space went down to 2 GB!
Any suggestions?
(Side question - the only other thing I can find to delete of considerable size is .cab files in the C:\Windows\SWSetup. It seems they are tied to programs. Can I deletes these files, especially if they are all older than 2 years old?)

What a fantastic property!! Set right on the main street, the design of the hotel means you don't feel like you're right in the thick of it. The beautiful entrance way, with the friendly security guard welcoming us in, leads through a flower laden lobby to a lovely reception. The staff were all so friendly, and with big smiles and helpful attitudes, they checked us in really quickly.
The rooms, which were spacious and comfortable, were really well air conditioned, and adorned with fresh frangipani flowers, which gave the room a nice tropical scent.
The pool was perfect (with a swim up pool bar), and the buffet breakfast was really great.
I couldn't say enough good things about this property, and will definitely stay here again when I return to Bali

BOSTON -- Curt Schilling was back in his home stadium Thursday night, nervous and feeling a bit strange about his new spot in the Boston Red Sox bullpen.
After 2½ months on the disabled list -- and two rehabilitation starts that told him he wasn't ready to resume his role in the rotation -- the ace of last year's staff returned as a reliever and probable closer for the World Series champions.
"It's a fresh start, for sure," Schilling said before the opener of a four-game series against the New York Yankees. "I'm a lot nervous."
He was activated on Wednesday after being on the disabled list since April 29 with a bone bruise on his right ankle, the same damaged ankle he pitched on in his strong outings in the AL Championship Series against New York and the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
He had offseason surgery and was 1-2 with an 8.15 ERA when he hurt his ankle on April 23, his last appearance before being disabled. But after five rehab stints, three as a reliever, he was ready to pitch again.
"The goal here is to do what they need me to do as long as they need me to do it, and if I can get back in the rotation somewhere down the road then that works," he said.
He's confident he can pitch well in short bursts until he builds his stamina to return to the rotation. He doesn't think it will be a problem warming up more quickly than he did as a starter or pitching on consecutive days.
In his last two rehab outings, he pitched one scoreless inning on both Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Pawtucket at Syracuse.
"The only question [about] starting, more than anything, was the ability to maintain the power for five, six, seven, eight innings, and I'm not getting asked to do that out of the bullpen," he said.
Schilling made just one relief appearance in the last 12 seasons, one inning for Arizona on Sept. 29, 2002, as a tuneup for the playoffs. His last relief outing before that was on May 13, 1992, before Philadelphia promoted him to the starting rotation.
"If you have a one- or two- or three-run lead and he has the ball in the ninth inning, as long as he's healthy and throwing like he can, he's a pretty good guy to have with the ball out there," manager Terry Francona said. "He doesn't walk people. He doesn't balk."
The addition of Schilling should help a struggling bullpen in which four relievers have ERAs of at least 6.00. Two of them, closer Keith Foulke and Matt Mantei, are on the disabled list.
The Red Sox obtained righty Chad Bradford on Wednesday in a trade with Oakland after he spent the entire season on the disabled list following back surgery in March. Francona said Bradford's back is fine now and he was active for Thursday's game.
Schilling is expected to get most of the work as the closer with Mike Timlin, who has been outstanding in a setup role, occasionally handling that job.
"We're not going to bring Schill in in the middle of an inning, at least right now," Francona said. "If somebody needs to come in in the seventh or eighth, it's going to be Mike. Hopefully, we'll have a bunch of saves, a bunch of wins, and we'll use Schill a couple of days in a row and then we'll go to Timlin the next night. We're going to use both of them."
Center fielder Johnny Damon said last week Timlin is better suited than Schilling to be the closer.
"Curt really wasn't upset about my comments so Curt and I are fine," Damon said. "The guy's a hero here in Boston."
Schilling said he talked with Damon about the comments and "it's not going to have any impact on how we perform or how we feel about each other as teammates on the field."
The Red Sox should feel great if Schilling is as dominant as a reliever as he was as a starter last season when he went 21-6 with a 3.26 ERA.
"It's a big challenge," Schilling said, "but I don't think it's anything that's beyond my capabilities."

Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence (Hardcover)
From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure.
In "Tropic of Chaos," investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended global counterinsurgency.
Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism"--a political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies.
About the Author
Christian Parenti is the author of "The Soft Cage" and "The Freedom", and is currently writing a book on Afghanistan. He is a visiting fellow at the CUNY Graduate School's Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, and his articles appear regularly in "The Nation". He lives in New York City.
