Sixth Sunday of the Year - A Cycle - Matthew 5:17-37
In 1962 came the Cuban missile crisis. It was a nuclear war stand off between the US and the USSR. In the event of attack, two thousand of the most important people in the US government were to be saved in a bomb shelter dug into a Virginia mountain. One VIP was Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. When he was handed his survival pass, Warren asked, "Where is my wife's?" He was told she was not a VIP. Smiling, he handed the pass back. "In that case," he said, "you have room for one more VIP." This is the type of marriage Jesus had in mind.
Jesus in this Gospel says, "Everyone who divorces his wife forces her to commit adultery. The man who marries a divorced woman likewise commits adultery." These words do not stir us nowadays. But, when Jesus spoke them way back then, they struck the first audiences as off the wall.
Nowhere in the 5000 years of recorded history was marriage
in worse shape than when Jesus came. Our own age, with its high divorce rate, would almost emerge as a golden age by comparison.
The world of Jesus witnessed marriage and family being destroyed. On the books, the Jews had a splendid view of marriage. Divorce was a no-no. God in the Book of Malachai had spoken on the question, "I hate divorce." Rabbis of course took their cue from this piece of advice. "The very altar sheds tears when a man divorces the wife of his youth," said they piously.
But the practice for the husband was a different matter altogether. The wife had to ride in the back of the bus and had no legal rights at all. She could not break the marriage bond. Her man could divorce her and put her out on the street for the slightest pretext. Her "crimes" might be these: if she put no salt in his stew, if she appeared out of doors without a babushka, if she bad-mouthed her mother-in-law, etc. (William Barclay)
Much to their financial chagrin, attorneys were not needed. All the husband had to do was write a note of divorce on the back of his laundry list in front of two friends. The marriage was history. Young women were reluctant to marry. Could you fault them?
Incidentally, they could not be so cavalier with their husbands.
When the Nazarene said no to divorce, He became the hero of every woman in Palestine. Was Jesus a feminist? You better believe it! The great wonder is that He was not killed by men long before His thirty-third birthday. That He was able to live so long was one of His greatest miracles. The Christian Gospel was liberating women and breaking the glass ceiling two thousand years ago. This was long before the term Women's Liberation came limping into our language.
What did Jesus have in mind when He spoke of marriage? For openers, Christian marriage is the union of two good forgivers. (Unknown) While marriages may be made in heaven, they have to be worked out on earth. Each party must be capable of receiving love and giving it. Arguments will come but they must be quickly buried. Reflect on Winston Churchill's advice. "If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future." Christ reminds couples happiness is two hearts pulling at one load. If couples go through life without experiencing pain, they probably haven't been born yet. (Neil Simon)
It was once taught marriage was a 50-50 proposition. But today we testify each must give a 100%. As Neil Diamond sings, "Selfishness is the reason for the decline in the number of husbands and wives." Many men are delighted to share their working wives' income but refuse to do their share of housework and caring for the children. These are classic male chauvinists.
Couples are reminded that chances of a good marriage are improved when it becomes a triangle - man, woman, and God.
In marriage, one binds oneself not to a job definition but to a person. Success in marriage is more than finding the right person. It is becoming the right person. (Unknown)
As for the fear of making a mistake, may God help those who won't marry until they find the perfect partner. And God help them when they do. If either wants a Good Housekeeping guarantee, that person should go live with a car battery. The faults of spouses we write on the sands. Their virtues on our heart. (Erma Bombeck)
Justice and Mrs Warren would remind couples while a wedding takes a day, a marriage takes a lifetime and a bit.
Homily from Father Joseph Pellegrino

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Surpassing the Scribes and Pharisees
The Gospel readings for this Sunday is taken from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew's Gospel was written primarily for Christians who were grounded in the scripture and traditions of the ancient Hebrews--or simply Christians who had first been Jews. The gospel also focused on Jews who were considering becoming Christians as well as all who wanted to learn more about this New Way as our faith was first called.
Matthew's Gospel is structured with numerous references to the Torah, the most important part of the Hebrew Scripture. We know the Torah as the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. In the Gospel of Matthew there are five main talks or discourses of the Lord modeled on the five books of the Law or the Torah. The first main discourse of the Law is the most important--the Sermon on the Mount. Just as Moses went up Mount Sinai to bring the Ten Commandments, God's Law to the people, Jesus climbs the mountain of the Beatitudes to present the New Law to the people.
Perhaps with this in mind we can understand Jesus's opening remarks in today's gospel: "I came not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them." In the eyes of the Lord the Hebrew Scripture are not only valid; they hold a place of greater reverence than ever before. But merely fulfilling the ancient law was not enough. The attitudes and lifestyles of the Christian must reflect living the law.
When he introduced the New Law of the Kingdom of God Jesus said something that was absolutely shocking. He said that the holiness of the people had to surpass that of the scribes and the Pharisees. How could anyone be holier than the Pharisees? They dressed wearing numerous images of their religion--including phylacteries, or miniature lists of the ten commandments hung from their headbands so whenever they turned their head they would fulfill the law: keep these commandments always before your eyes. They fasted. They said loud prayers for all to hear. But Jesus said that his followers had to be holier than these holy Pharisees. How could that be possible? Well, Jesus explains, our external actions must be a reflection of what we really are like. If what we do is not a reflection of who we are, then we are hypocrites. Hypocrite, that's the word that Jesus uses over and over to describe the Pharisees. Maybe we also used the word hypocrite when we were teenagers or young adults, applying it to those who were older than us who did not fulfill our ideals. Hypocrite is also a word that we all secretly fear others would use about each of us. To avoid being a hypocrite, our whole attitude in life must be Christian.
To demonstrate his point, Jesus contrasts the written law of the Torah with the new attitude of the Kingdom that must motivate this law. For example Jesus says, "You have heard it said that murder is wrong, but harboring hatred is also wrong even if you don't physically kill someone. Why? Because murder is conceived by hatred. The person who hates but does not murder is not a good person. He is just a person who has followed the social norms perhaps to avoid punishment. It is the same with all the laws and rules of the New Kingdom. The Lord's point is that following the law demands living the lifestyle that gives rise to the law. Living the life of the Lord motivates the Christian rather than the minimal performing the law.
It is important that we convey this message to our children. I know how adamant you all are to provide the best for your children. I also know how active you are in children's education. I and all your priests are edified by your efforts to be the best parents you can be. I want to re-enforce the efforts that I know you are making to have your children understand the motivation for their actions. Consider asking the children "why" a particular action is good or bad. For example, "I saw you playing with your cousin today and sharing your toys with him or her. That was very good. Do you know why? Because people are more important than our stuff." Or, "I heard that you went into your brother or sister's room and borrowed their toy and broke it. That was not good. Do you know why? Because you have to respect their possessions just as you want them to respect your possessions." "You did very well on your report card. That is very good. Do you know why? Because you are showing a respect for the gift God gave you by developing your mind."
Maybe we need to do the same thing for ourselves. For example, "I am here in Church. This is good. Why? Because I belong to God and He to me. I need to have this intimate union with Him in the Scripture and the Eucharist at least once a week." Or, "I really lost it with my spouse or my kids. This is bad. Why? Not just because anger is bad, but I sinned against the love that animates our family, the love which really is the Love of God."
You see, it is not in the action itself but it is in the motivation behind the action where the person's true identity is found and formed. We are called to take upon ourselves the very identity of Jesus Christ. We are called to be selfless givers. We are called to be eternal lovers of the Father. We are called to rejoice in His presence in our families. We are not called to be minimalists in the faith. We are called to develop the facility of finding meaning in the laws that God gave us so that our external actions might truly be a reflection of our internal attitudes.
So, is it easier to be a modern Christian than an ancient Jew? Absolutely not. Christianity is extremely demanding upon us all because it calls us to be 100% committed to living in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
When we make efforts to be wholesome, sincere, than our holiness, yours and mine, will surpass even that of the scribes and Pharisees.
Tall order. Absolutely. And that is why we are here today. We are here in prayer to ask God to help us be Christians.

Hidden Wisdom Week 3- About Adultery, Murder & Perjury
(February 12, 2017)
Message: Lust, anger and equivocation have serious consequences...When we take our lives to the cross, we experience mercy and healing.
St. Paul says, "We speak God's wisdom, mysterious, hidden..." We see that hidden wisdom in today's Gospel. Jesus takes three evil acts - adultery, murder and perjury - and restates them in a radical way. In fact so radical that most of us would admit we have broken them. For sure, we would avoid adultery but who has not looked at another person with lust? Few have committed murder, but who has not despised some other person, calling him a fool? While not guilty of perjury who has never misled some other person?
We might ask what Jesus is doing here. For sure he is warning that evil acts begin in the heart, but there's more. He's unveiling radical evil: to treat another person as an object or to despise him. These bring deep and eternal separation. Jesus is telling us that, contrary to what many think, lust, anger and equivocation have serious consequences. These failings are difficult to avoid, but there is a remedy. It comes by way of hidden wisdom. As St. Paul indicates, hidden wisdom is the cross. When we take our lives to the cross, we experience mercy and healing.
This weekend we have a special invitation to the cross - to mercy and healing. It's about marriage which for most people involves the greatest source of joy and satisfaction - but also the cross. At the end of Mass we will have the blessing of those with marriage anniversaries in February - and also renewal of matrimony vows. In my 45 years as a priest, I am convinced that marital success does not come from couples being perfect but from going to the fount of mercy and healing, going to the cross.
I invite all of us this weekend - married, engaged, single, widowed, child or senior - approach the hidden wisdom of the cross:
What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard,
and what has not entered the human heart,
what God has prepared for those who love him,
this God has revealed to us through the Spirit. Amen

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Classic
Matthew 5: 17-37
Gospel Summary
This lengthy excerpt from the Sermon on the Mount echoes the note struck in last Sunday's gospel where Matthew urged us to seek a more spiritual and personal ideal of moral behavior. Being keenly aware of the more conservative and traditional Jewish Christians in his community at Antioch, he defends their respect for the Mosaic Law and makes it clear that he does not in any sense reject the wisdom expressed there. However, Matthew is also aware that some scribes and Pharisees have emphasized only and eternal and material observance of that Law. And so he urges us to go beyond such inadequate observance because it represents, in a sense, a conversion of the hands and not the heart. The gospel passage of this Sunday then gives us two examples of how a merely external observance falls short of the ideal offered by Jesus. In the case of murder, he points out that it is not just the act that is reprehensible but that the sin is present already in the hatred that often leads to murder. In a similar manner, viewing another person as a sexual object is so demeaning that it is already a serious sin, even if it does not actually lead to adultery.
Life Implications
The ideal expressed in this gospel passage reminds us that external religious observance, though certainly important, will never suffice to make us authentic followers of Christ. It is relatively easy to observe rituals and to affirm doctrines but, unfortunately, such observance can easily co-exist with an interior attitude that is judgmental and unforgiving. As the gospel reminds us, reconciliation with the alienated people in our lives (and often families) is more important than meticulous, or even scrupulous, religious observance. What is required then is an interior conversion that recognizes one's own shortcomings and is thus prepared to allow others to be imperfect also. What is most important, however, is an attitude of loving kindness that enables us to notice how others are hurting and which gladly reaches out to them, not because they deserve our help, but simply because they are in need and our hearts are sensitive to the fact. To love in this way is to be a child of that God who certainly loves us more than we deserve. As such, we will also be true followers of Jesus as we make his love present in our world. Demetrius R. Dumm, O.S.B.
Sixth Sunday of the Year, Modern
Lectionary 76, Gospel Matthew 5: 17-37
Today we open the scriptures to an exhortation from an inspired writer who shared the same name as our Lord: Jesus. More fully, his name was Jesus ben-Eleazar ben-Sira (Sir 50:27) and he wrote the words we hear in the first reading sometime in the opening decades of the second century before Christ. As a side note I find it interesting that different Catholic cultures show respect for the name of the Lord either by giving it to children (especially a first-born son in many Latino Catholic cultures) or by not giving it to children (in most European-based Catholic heritages) or even pronouncing it unnecessarily (often in "old school" Irish or German Catholic traditions). In any case, Jesus ben-Sira lived long before our Lord, and the name he held in common with Christ was one of the most common male names among Jews of his era.
Jesus ben-Sira was a man who had great reverence for the law of Moses and for the traditions of his people; he saw fidelity to the ways of the past as a guide and point of reference for present-day difficulties and questions. In keeping with his reverence for the Mosaic law and for history ben-Sira makes a statement which stands on its own merits as common sense but which is actually a reference to the book of Deuteronomy: "Before man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him" (Sir 15:17; cf. Deut 30:15, 19-20). This allusion to the Torah might have slipped by us as we read the scriptures or heard them proclaimed, but it certainly would not have escaped the notice of ben-Sira's earliest readers. They would have immediately recognized the call to look to the law as the sure guide for living.
In this regard ben-Sira's words provide a perfect introduction the Lord's own preaching in the gospel, taken again this Sunday from the Sermon on the Mount. There our Lord makes it clear: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place" (Matt 5:17-18). But as soon as we think we understand that he is simply reaffirming the law the Lord states four times: "You have heard that it was said…but I say to you…" (Matt 5:21-37).
As he then teaches about anger, adultery, divorce, and false oaths we see that Jesus is bringing the law to perfection by demonstrating its full implications in two ways: first, he does so by fulfilling and extending them—showing their complete meaning and their great challenge; secondly he reveals that both for the Jewish people and for Christians faith is the key to the law. It was the faith of Abraham, whom St. Paul indeed describes as our father in faith (see Rom 4:11-12), that led the patriarchs to anticipate the law, the prophets to proclaim it, and sages like ben-Sira to extoll it. Borrowing from St. Paul again, we find that "Now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, though testified to by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe" (Rom 3:21-22). Taking today's scriptures together we learn that in Christ we must make a fundamental choice—as anticipated in Deuteronomy and Sirach—to place our faith in him so that the end to which the law was directed (drawing people ever closer to God) might be realized in us, and we might thus be numbered among those who inherit "the kingdom of heaven" (see Matt 5:19).

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Homily by Father Alex McAllister SDS
Today we have for our Gospel text a lengthy extract from the Sermon on the Mount. From the outset, Jesus makes it clear that he does not intend to abolish the old law but to perfect it. We see from his subsequent teaching that what he intends is definitely much more difficult than that which was expected from the people up to that point.
With each segment of his teaching Jesus goes a step further than the requirements of the old law. Just take the teaching on killing. Obviously, this was forbidden by the Law of Moses but now Jesus extends it to include anger. In this context, I suppose anger means not so much the expression of the emotion of anger but actively hating another person and showing aggression towards them.
The same goes for adultery which is expanded by Jesus to include looking lustfully at someone. Of course we can see what Jesus intends by this. He wants us to be pure of heart and not just to be people who conform to the outward letter of the law. He wants us to live good and wholesome lives and not be defined by the exact wording of a particular law.
So far so good, but what do we think when it comes to the teaching about tearing out your eye or cutting off your hand. What do we think when a little lustful glance is compared to adultery or if our temporary anger is equated with murder? I don't know about you but I start to get a bit queasy at thinking about these things.
I think that we must say at this point that Jesus does not mean us to take all this wholly literally; it is actually an example of what we call Biblical hyperbole. What we are dealing with is deliberate exaggeration for effect. Jesus uses these bizarre images in order to stress the utter seriousness of his words. If his words about plucking your eye out were taken literally the world would be full of blind people. This is clearly not the intention of Jesus.
We need to realise that Hebrew was a language which was prone to using figures of speech and exaggerated images. But we have this in our own language when we say things like, 'it's raining cats and dogs.' I remember saying this to my father once. His reply was, 'Would you go out and get me a poodle!'
We also have to consider the situation of the people Jesus was talking to and the milieu in which they lived. At the time there was an elite in power who were using religion as a way of furthering their own interests and at the same time the law was considered as something laid down and which required absolute conformity. But this conformity was to the letter of the law and not to its spirit.
This led to a situation in which a culture was built up whereby all kinds of egregious breaches of morality could occur which were not covered by particular laws and yet other kinds of trivial things were treated as very serious. Jesus himself was to fall foul on more than one occasion with the regulations on what was permissible or not on the Sabbath Day.
The so-called experts in the law could also find ways around it to excuse all sorts of bad behaviour on their part while the common man was kept firmly in his place.
What Jesus is proposing is a completely different way of looking at the law. As he says, he does not want to abolish it but to fulfil it. What he is doing is bringing individual conscience into play and not depending on a series of external regulations. Jesus wants each person to develop their own moral sensibility. He wants to sensitise each person and help them to come to a true understanding of what God wants.
This is a delicate process. On the one hand we want as few external laws as possible but instead we want each person to realise how to implement the demands of justice and to act properly in the moral sphere. Each person ought to come to the realisation of what is pleasing to God rather than slavishly following a set of rules laid down by the High Priests.
The dramatic words about cutting off our hands or plucking out our eyes gets our attention and points out how absolutely necessary it is for us to do the right thing. Ultimately it is far more than our eye or our hand that is at stake, it is our eternal welfare. Doing evil in God's sight leads us on the road to hell, while following his ways takes us on the royal road to heaven. Nothing could be more serious than this.
I just want to point out how important habit is when it comes to sin. It is very easy for us to commit a new sin once, just to try it out as it were; all the time thinking that we can easily repent of it later. However, the problem is that when we go ahead and commit this sin we start to tell ourselves that it is not so serious and that no one else is suffering much as a result. It then becomes easier to commit this sin a second time.
Soon we find ourselves habituated to the particular sin and commit it over and over again without being concerned about it at all. This is a serious trap set for us by the evil one and it is very easy for us to fall into it.
The only way out is to make a determined effort to pull ourselves away from this bad habit and ask the advice of the priest in the confessional as to how to cope with it.
In the past I have often seen how people fall into this trap with things such as shoplifting and theft from the workplace. But nowadays the problem of internet pornography is becoming ever more prevalent. We might look at inappropriate websites intending it to be on one single occasion but then find that we are returning to them time after time. Before you know it, we discover that our behaviour has developed into a full scale addiction and we can't get out of the habit. The best thing, of course, is never to go there in the first place.
Sin is very prevalent in the world of today and we have to do our best to keep ourselves free from it. Of course, we will never eradicate entirely our being drawn into sin but we can work hard to keep it to a minimum.
It is good to live a life free from guilt, it is liberating to act only according to God's laws. It is life-enhancing to live a good and moral life. It is good for us and it is good for everyone around us.

Let me know what you think of this new logo.
i like the green but if youre on a budget the all black still looks nice as well
I would use it with the green on pretty much everything. The only thing I can think of that would be black and white is my fax cover sheet. I am really wanting to use red trucks and trailers this time around. What do you think this will look like on a red background?
I think it would look great on a red background. It might even look bette if the font was a little bolder IMO.
I would go all green, as well. Make the lettering appear to be embossed or engraved, so it stands out like 3D. Also, make yourself some GOOD grass - not that weak, wimpy, thin unhealthy looking stuff. Say it like you mean it. Other than that...I like it!
Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate your opinions and ideas.

Cris Schwartz and his team of Iowa State University researchers are exploring how to improve learning materials for the visually impaired community.
Before braille gained widespread popularity, several methods of touch communication were used to help the visually impaired read. Literary braille, according to Schwartz, is mostly consistent in its use, but using it with subjects like math and chemistry is challenging.
Technical braille – mathematical equations or chemical reactions using symbols, numbers, and letters – is difficult to translate with the present systems of braille.
Schwartz, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Iowa State, is looking into ways to make braille easier for the visually impaired to understand the complex information in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields by adding more components to braille. This is partly done by exploring the theoretical limits of communication through a person's touch.
His research group uses different tactile measuring devices, such as sensors, to try and understand the effects of contact between different surfaces. Braille is part of that research, especially pertaining to the frictional behavior between human skin and other surfaces.
"We want to know what role friction plays when somebody reads braille," Schwartz explained. "And if we understand that well enough, could we pack more information into braille so people can still use their sense of touch to get the maximum [amount of] information possible?"
The idea is to add variety to the braille dots, such as friction manipulation, prickliness, fuzziness, temperature changes, and other mechanisms. This could help with explaining information graphics that are difficult to translate for a visually impaired audience.

Gay engagement announced in Times
Warning: This post was published more than 12 years ago.
I keep old posts on the site because sometimes it's interesting to read old content. Not everything that is old is bad. Also, I think people might be interested to track how my views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured!
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might have changed in the 12 years since I wrote this post.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Many thanks for your understanding.
A gay couple have become the first same-sex pairing to announce their engagement in The Times forthcoming marriages column.
How cute. Clearly more of a gimmick than a genuine step forward, though – what's groundbreaking about saying 'We will get married when the state says we can'? I suppose it shows that The Times is plodding into the twenty-first century, at least.
But it did get me thinking: Imagine the furore if Charles had announced that he was going to marry his butler, with whom he may or may not have had a brief fling, instead of Camilla… That would certainly have got the tabloids talking and left the constituional boffins with something to work out.

Home > Press > NanoBusiness 2007, Nanotechnology's Foremost Business Conference, Weathered ``The Perfect Storm'' in NYC
The NanoBusiness Alliance today announced that its 6th annual NanoBusiness 2007 conference held in New York City recently was its most successful to date, despite weathering the "perfect storm" that dumped inches of rain on the city, closed all area airports due to dangerously high winds, and made transportation nearly impossible. Hundreds of CEOs, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, government officials and investors endured every business traveler's nightmare of delayed, cancelled or rerouted flights, with many stranded at airports for hours on end.
Despite that, the nanotech community showed its spirit and commitment to the conference as event participants waited out the storm and its resultant travel delays, and finally arrived at the Marriot Marquis hotel to join in three intensive days of meetings, presentations, keynotes and networking events.
"Although this 'perfect storm' could have crippled other events, NanoBusiness 2007 was our most successful conference to date," said Sean Murdock, Executive Director of the NanoBusiness Alliance. "This not only underscores the importance of our event within the industry, but also speaks volumes in regard to the courage, character and commitment of the nanotechnology community."
Although the storm did affect attendance at the pre-conference on Sunday, April 15th, executives continued arriving throughout the night, and the event kicked into high gear first thing Monday morning as CNBC broadcast its "Squawk Box" program live from NanoBusiness 2007. For three hours, host Becky Quick provided viewers with a comprehensive look at how nanotechnology is impacting business across a variety of sectors, and interviewed many of the event's main participants, including Sean Murdock; Dr. Ray Johnson, Sr. VP and CTO of Lockheed Martin; Wilbur Ross, Jr., billionaire investor and Chairman/CEO of WL Ross & Co; William Moffit, CEO of Nanosphere; and Dr. BJ Stanberry, CEO of HelioVolt.
Following two days of in-depth presentation on nanotech's role in medical diagnostics, solar energy, green architecture, auto emissions, memory, and displays; as well as investment forums focused on public companies, electronics, cleantech, medicine, and advanced materials, NanoBusiness 2007 concluded in appropriate fashion with a closing bell ceremony at NASDAQ on Tuesday, April 17th. Executive Director Sean Murdock led a group of 30 CEOs and other nanotech industry leaders to the NASDAQ Market Site, where they participated for the first time in this prestigious event.
"When we first launched our NanoBusiness conferences 5 years ago, the markets were still trying to assess whether or not nanotechnology was 'real' from an investment standpoint," said Vincent Caprio, Event Director and Vice President of the NanoBusiness Alliance. "However, five years later, that NASDAQ would honor our community with a closing bell ceremony is validation that nanotechnology has indeed arrived on 'the street' in a huge way."
The NanoBusiness Alliance is already in the early planning stages for its NanoBusiness 2008 conference, with conference dates and location to be announced shortly. For additional information, please contact Vincent Caprio, .

Despite all the 'it's not what you write, it's how you write it' clichés flying around, sometimes I still have a teenage belief that I need to be living some kind of physical extreme to be a good writer. I should be doing more drugs, having dramatic love affairs, traveling to the ends of the world, and generally making every day such an aggressive pursuit of experiences that I am always close to death. Then I read Lucy K. Shaw's writing and feel very silly. She can make a story about a simple trip to the park or museum completely compelling to read. In her debut book The Motion (421 Atlanta), it is moments of solitude, disappointing social interactions, or simply living as a woman with fierce artistic ambition, that truly makes a—to borrow a phrase of Shaw's—sensational lifestyle.
The book ends with a list called "Incomplete List of People I Would Want to Blurb My Chapbook." The people range from the very famous (Beyoncé, Fiona Apple), to the dead (Louise Bourgeois, Amy Winehouse), to great writers who actually did end up blurbing The Motion (Chloe Caldwell, Wendy C. Ortiz). In lieu of a traditional interview, I thought it would be fun to ask Lucy questions about the people on that list, essentially having her blurb the people she wanted to blurb her book. The list is almost completely all women, so we get to be two feminist creatives talking about (as well as exchanging links/images/quotes of) other female artists, which is pretty much one of my favorite things to do. It happened through a shared Google doc. Continue reading

I like to think I am the master of all things grilling, but the truth is, that honor belongs to my dad, Grilliam Sr. If it weren't for him, I'd just be a little hibachi, nowhere near the grill I am today. Cooking by coal; how to tell when a charcoal brick is ready, how to properly sear a pork chop, how to be patient when cooking low and slow – he taught me all the ins and outs of grilling. I could go on and on
But that's what dads do. They pass their knowledge and skills to the next generation so the flame of wisdom can be carried brighter and hotter. And in keeping with that tradition, I've picked out a Father's Day recipe the entire family can cook together; a meal that kids – and fathers – always enjoy: Pizza!
This recipe for Grilled Pizzas with Herbed Pork and Brussels Sprouts is actually my father's recipe, which he passed down to me. And nothing would make him prouder than having all the other fathers out there use this recipe to teach their kids the basics of grilling. Best of all, these pizzas are totally customizable, so everyone in your family can add their favorite veggies and toppings!
As the saying goes, Daddy knows – and deserves – the best, so grab your family, pick up your pork and Grill For It together!
Happy Father's Day!

Another ficlet, mainly from Elizabeth's POV, drinking and thinking of Jack. I don't generally do first person, but I like the way this came out. More Elizabeth/ Jack romantic angst, my fave flavor, with mythology references. POST-DMC, SPOILERS!
DISCLAIMER 1: I do not own any of the characters, the original plotlines, or anything else in the POTC universe. I'm just a fan with too much time on her hands. The characters herein are owned by Disney and the talented pens of Elliott & Rossio. The fiction is a product of my own fevered brain, belonging to me, thought up by me, written with my own words and talents (such as they may or may not be). I will be incredibly vexed if you hack my stuff, and in fact will lay a very nasty voudou whammy on you. No. Seriously. Don't do it.
DISCLAIMER 2: There is strong language, violence, hardcore sex and adult situations in several of my fics. Read at your own risk. I'm not going to police your kids for you, so don't blame me if they read something marked "Mature". Dig?
DISCLAIMER 3: This story is very romantic, as are most of my POTC stories, because I'm a romantic girl. I've tried to stay in character as much as possible while venting my own romantic spleen about how I think Jack and Elizabeth should act. Just warning you. If you don't like the J/E ship, seek other fiction. Seriously.
The taste of it burns all the way down, and the smell of it makes my eyes water madly. Not from its strength (well, mostly not), but from the loss. It smells like you, of course. Tastes like you too, but I don't dare finish that thought. Think I'll finish this ungodly bottle instead. And never mind the tears, they salt the liquor and change it into something else. Something like the sea. I remember how that tastes too, from when you dove down and brought me out again. A new pearl for you. Not a black one, but a white one. I remember your eyes that first day, leaning over me. So lost in them, so lost…
I don't think Will knows where I am, that I'm awake under this midnight sky, let alone getting frightfully drunk. It would probably stick the knife in deeper if he knew. Gibbs knows though. He's watched me come here, you see, watched me make my way to the prow, curling up on a coil of rope, looking up at the stars, tipping this bottle to my lips again and again. And oh, it burns. But that's only fitting. I should burn. For what I did to you, I should burn. But the only thing truly burning is my tongue from this damn rum and from the memory of your mouth on mine. And this place inside me that always burns for you. Always has burned for you, since the day we met.
The stars spin and wheel over me. Are you seeing them too? Are you somewhere where you can see the stars and taste the wind? Or is it only blackness for you, some cold and dark place? I can't bear to think that. The liquid blazes a trail down my throat and into my belly, hot and welcoming. Almost like your lips, as I remember. No, I will never be sorry for that. But I will walk in sorrow for the rest of my life if I never find you again, never get you back. Never tell you how sorry I am. Never tell you how much I… I'd give anything to have you laughing at me right now, or even yelling at me. As long as you were here with me. And what would I give to be in your arms now? The life of every man on this ship. Even Will's.
Oh God. Why isn't this nepenthe, that fabled forgetfulness? Why doesn't the rum work? Maybe if I drink enough of it, I won't see your dark eyes, taunting me, smiling at me, angry with me. Here. I'm standing. I'm letting the wind caress me, I'm thinking of you. I'm climbing here, to the top of the rail. I'll be your figurehead on this ship, I'll be your compass, I'll be anything you damn well want if you just come back to me…Please come back… Please, Jack, I'm sorry…
Gibbs watched Elizabeth tip the bottle, watched it fall from her hands and clatter onto the deck, rolling away in the gentle pitching of the ship. The Persephone, the ship was called. Fitting name, considering this mad, haunted girl that he now watched was on a journey to the underworld. Only Gibbs didn't quite remember that myth ending up with Persephone being in love with Hades, as Elizabeth Swann so obviously was with Jack Sparrow. Poor girl. Poor lost lamb.
Yawwwwn. Late watches of the night. He should tell her to get some sleep, though he knew she'd be shamed that he'd been watching over her. He suddenly bolted to his feet as Miss Swann began climbing the rail. Holy Ghost, was she going to jump? He started forward, but saw that she was holding steady, standing on the rail and bracing herself with the ropes. Gibbs crossed himself as he watched her, thin white gown blowing around her in the wind. He could hear her keening, weeping, talking to someone who wasn't there. And he knew damn well who she was talking to, pleading with. No, Gibbs wasn't much of a religious man anymore. But he crossed himself again, and pitied Elizabeth Swann.
Will watched her from his place in the darkness. Heard her calling out to a man he presumed dead. Heard her say the dead man's name brokenly, over and over. And Will Turner felt the quiet tears rolling down his face. He hated her. He loved her. He almost missed Jack. He was pretty sure he hoped they never found Jack. The tears stung and tasted of the ocean that wrapped around them. She was a banshee, a siren there in the night, standing in the wind, shrouded in white and sorrow. And he knew he'd never get her back. Even if Jack Sparrow was well and truly dead, even if Elizabeth later consented to become Mrs. William Turner, he knew that he would never again reach her heart and that her eyes would always be searching the horizon for Jack's shade. And if Jack was alive? Elizabeth would go with him without a second thought. Will wept for Elizabeth, and he wept for himself. Most of all he wept that Jack Sparrow had ever come to Port Royal.
That crying in the night, that keening… if Jack Sparrow was dead, there was no way his spirit could not hear the girl's voice. It flew into the night air, wreathing the ship in shadows and grief. Will slid helplessly down to the deck and cradled his head in his hands, trying to cover his ears. Trying not to hear his heart break.
They all heard it, down below. No one spoke to each other, but they all heard it. Even that cold Barbossa shuddered from the sound of it, sitting in his cabin, peeling an apple. Eurydice calling for Orpheus, not the other 'way round. Barbossa allowed himself one smile. Elizabeth Swann was indeed paying for her mistakes. Let her deal with them.
I can't stop. I can't breathe. I hear the sounds coming from my throat, I feel the rawness, but I can't stop. I know they can all hear me. But if I keep calling long enough and loud enough, you might answer me. I will become a siren for you, I will call. I will brave the underworld for you, I will walk into darkness. I will sell my soul if I have to – though souls and selling seem to have gotten everyone into this mess in the first place. If I can have you back, I'll do anything. If I can keep you, I'll sacrifice whatever I must.
The velvet of the night sky turns above me. The stars are cold fire, their light offers no comfort. The sea slips by me in the darkness; I can taste her and smell her and feel her rocking me. The rum is gone now and it hasn't made me forget. The Persephone sails on to the East, to you. Tia Dalma has promised we will find you. And when I do, I will sing you every song I know, I will feed you from my fingertips, I will wrap you in my arms and keep you warm. Come back to me, Jack. Come back to me.
In the darkness, he gasps. Breath fills his lungs again. He moans when he feels the pain return, knowing he isn't safe yet. But in the darkness, he can hear her singing, hear her calling. Somewhere she is calling. His siren. His goddess. She's coming for him, drawn by the compass of her own heart. And when she finds him, Jack will never let her go again.
Author's note: Inspired by StellaMara's hauntingly lovely song, "Immrama," and too much mythology as a child

Kevin Myers: No one, 13 years ago, seemed aware of the truly boundless nature of the Moriarty Tribunal
ON May 4, 1891, Professor Moriarty lured Sherlock Holmes to his "death" at the Reichenbach Falls, enabling Arthur Conan Doyle to end the Holmes stories.
But 12 years later, poor old Doyle was badgered into resurrecting both men. A century on, the ability of a Moriarty to remain in the centre of affairs seems not to have diminished one whit. Our current heir to the Moriarty tradition of persistence has now been at it for nearly 13 years.
And why not another 13? The tribunal declared of itself in 1997: "This Term of Reference also applies to any money ever held in accounts for the benefit of, or in the name of, any other person who holds or has held ministerial office." The keyword here is EVER. So, there's logically no reason why the tribunal should not go on for all time, examining -- say -- the fate of the monies brought back from the US by Eamon de Valera, or given to Parnell by Cecil Rhodes.

We welcome soccer mums, ballet dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you're having problems or you're down in the dumps or if you don't like "organized religion," we've been there too.
We welcome you if you answer rhetorical questions during the sermon, if you clap spontaneously, and if you fall asleep and gently snore. We will give you such a special smiley welcome if we need to get the ramp out for your wheelchair, or open the double doors for your buggy. We don't mind walkers, zimmer frames, or clattering walking sticks.
If you blew all your collection money on the lottery, you're welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don't work, can't spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome you if you've learned about God in a tradition very different to the one we know best. We look forward to hearing about where you've come from and what you have learned because we've learned that there is always more to understand and more to know
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts … and you!

Researchers break new ground on oestrogenic effects in fish
The first British study of long-term concentrations of oestrogenic compounds in sewage effluent has found that they vary markedly over time - and suggests that efforts to optimise sewage treatment processes so as to reduce levels of natural oestrogens may lead to increased discharges of synthetic oestrogenic chemicals such as nonyl phenols. The research has also shown that the threshold at which oestrogenic effects occur in fish exposed to sewage effluent falls with time - casting doubt on the value of short-term tests in predicting acceptable levels of oestrogenic compounds in rivers. 1

<< TK's MORNING BUZZ: With the Home Video Industry Deep in Change, Some Good People Are Packing It In -- and That's Too Bad | Blog Home | APAR's WORKING WEEKEND: Appreciating Epics at the Dawn of E-Pix >>
TK's MORNING BUZZ: DVD-Audio May Not Be the Next, New Surround-Sound Sensation After All16 Mar, 2001 By: Thomas K. Arnold
I'm generally very keen on new technologies, and when DVD-Video was first launched, I supported it wholeheartedly and predicted it would be huge.
I was right.
When DVD-Audio was first launched, I loved it, too, and until a few days ago believed wholeheartedly that it could revolutionize the way we listen to recorded music just like the CD did two decades ago.
Now, I'm not so sure.
I attended two demonstrations of DVD-Audio at the NARM show, and I was singularly unimpressed. In fact, I found the 5.1 Surround Sound to be a bit annoying and unnatural. When I listen to live music, there are generally a bunch of guys on stage and I hear the music coming from the stage -- not from behind me. So when the presenter played a tune and the choir chimed in behind my back, I raised my hand and asked, "What's up?"
"The producer said he wanted the choir in back, because when he was a kid that's where the choir was in his church," came the response.
Criminy! Are we trying to faithfully reproduce a live sound -- generally the ideal in recorded music, I've always believed -- or are we trying to create a new "work of art" that may or may not be rooted in reality, depending on the producer's, or the artist's, whim?
I can understand DVD-Audio recreating the live experience if there's a recording with a band that has four instrumentalists and one singer. Great -- a speaker for each. But then those two back speakers should be uprooted and placed in front, or off to the side -- anywhere but behind me.
Yes, at least at this point, I think DVD-Audio is going too far. And where's it all going to end? Put the lead guitarist's speaker on a skateboard so when he does one of his famous slides it will sound real?
Give me a break. If DVD-Audio focuses on its higher sampling and bigger capacity to produce more real, lifelike tones, then I'm all for it.
But let's not futz around too much with the channels and the speakers. A movie, where you want to be in the center of the action, is one thing. But a concert?
I like the front row, just fine.

Maliban sa Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura, Noli Me Tangere, at El Filibusterismo at laksa-laksang "required" readings noong high school, hindi na ako nagbabasa ng iba pa. Wala na akong alam bukod sa mga awtor na nirerequire ni titser. Itong Dekada '70 ni Lualhati Bautista ang unang nobelang natapos ko nang buo; yung hindi ko dadayain ang sarili ko na lagpasan ang ibang pahina. Ang sarap palang magbasa. At mula noon, hindi na ako tumigil sa pagbabasa.
No one is apolitical
"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn't hear, doesn't speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn't know the cost of life, the price of the beans, the fish, the flour, the rent, the shoes and the medicine, all depend on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn't know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst of all thieves, the bad and corrupted politician, lackey of the national and multinational companies."
--- Bertolt Brecht

The 'Humble Toy' Story
Tuesday, I woke up late because I do not need to rush myself. "I'll be off to school by lunch." I sighed. As I exit our yard I saw my father's tricycle, (it was a motorcycle with a sidecar, for foreign readers, in any case). Dust, cobwebs, and dried leaves from a nearby Narra tree are scattered in its couch. No one ever dared to clean it. Sort of. I couldn't remember the last time I drove that. Maybe it was 2010, oh, two years ago. Perhaps because my two elder brothers have their own motorcycles too, and maybe because I do not own a licence.
I waited for the bus for about fifteen minutes. I was giving a watch to it. But before the bus came, Mama went home for lunch. I am disturbed by that idea. Mother does not go home for lunch since my father has died in 2008. But today was different. She arrived with three men. Two of them are familiar to me. They are engaged in a tricycle buy-and-sell business. The other one must be the prospective client. Mother has pronounced weeks ago that she has this plan of selling father's tricycle. "No one uses it anyway." She said. Nobody in the family replied during that dinner.
It was a 1993 Honda TMX 155 Model, equipped with a Stainless Steel sidecar, which is kinda rare today. The motor costs P90,ooo; sidecar is P30,000. Imagine that value in 1993. Father was very careful with his humble toy. He would get angry if his sons would sit on its fuel tank. He doesn't want us to dent it, or damage it in any way. He succeed but not with the discoloration of its stickers which is inevitable --- I presume.

First, I'll say that the Zeiss lenses are really top notch precision quality. Their lower end SLR lenses are made by Cosina in Japan, but these clearly aren't spec'd like Canon or Nikon lenses. No plastic or rubber, nor tolerance slop, as I've become accustomed to from Canon L series lenses. Even the lens shades are metal! But, more importantly, I really wanted to look at the optical quality of the lenses. I'll get into the ergonomics of the design in a future post.
Let's start with a comparison of crops from the lower left corner of the focus chart using the 35mm focal length at f/4. Frankly, they're all really good with the exception of the 24-105mm Canon, which is starting to show chromatic aberration and distortion. The Samyang actually has really great performance, which is surprising given the bargain price - most likely due to the mostly plastic construction of this lens. Notice how the Zeiss still has detail in the "A" pattern? Very nice.
Canon 24-70mm @ 35mm
Canon 24-105 @ 35mm
Samyang 35mm
Zeiss 35mm
Then lets look at the same plots at 50mm f/4. The 24-70 and Zeiss seem pretty close, with the exception of some aliasing in the A pattern on the Canon lens. However, both Canons still show distortion even at this "normal" focal length. The aliasing on the 24-70mm might have something to do with the distortion skewing the lines slightly.
Canon 24-70mm @ 50mm
Canon 24-105mm @ 50mm
Zeiss 50mm
This is all cool, but what about pictures in the real world? For that I went to a nearby hillside and took some pictures while focused at infinity. One thing I'm still getting used to is the Zeiss lenses and their hard stop at infinity. The infinity markings on the Canons aren't always dead on. You really have to focus them via live view to know you have a sharp image. Below are the same outlook at 35 and 50mm using each of the lenses.
Although the Canon 24-70mm is still really good, it doesn't match the Samyang nor Zeiss. The Canon 24-105 is definitely more distorting and blurry. The Zeiss and Samyang were both excellent. I invite you to download the images and examine them for yourself. The images below are 960x640px, so you're not seeing the full story by just looking at the images in in the blog post. Blogger downscales everything to 320px wide.
Overall view
Canon 24-70mm @ 35mm
Canon 24-105mm @ 35mm
Samyang 35mm
Zeiss 35mm
Canon 24-70mm @ 50mm
Canon 25-105 @ 50mm
Zeiss 50mm
I fully realize I'm being overly nit picky here, but when you pay so much for a lens you deserve to be. What I can say is that the Zeiss and Samyang seem to be matched pretty well optically. Both are excellent. It appears as though what you're really paying for with the Zeiss is the all metal bomb-proof construction and tight German tolerance. What I haven't been able to investigate is the bokeh, flare control, and transmission characteristics. Frankly I'd rather be out shooting than doing lens tests, however it's the end of the year and production is pretty much shut down until the hangovers from New Year's Eve wear off.

John Boehner's future political aspirations could be a big deciding factor in his stance on immigration and the debt ceiling. If Boehner plans continues as speaker of the House in 2015, he may not be willing to compromise with the White House and Senate on immigration and the debt ceiling. If he plans on retiring, he may want to preserve his legacy by participating in a grand bargain to pass immigration reform and solve America's debt and spending issues. The Washington Post reports:
"Debt ceiling/tax reform/entitlement reform deals are all major legacies for him," said one longtime Republican House insider. "Retirement may look more appealing if they come together, in some form of victory."

General Question
What would cause toilet water to turn black?
Asked by valdasta (2139) January 9th, 2010
When I was a student at MSU, we left our dorm over Christmas vacation. When we came back the water in the toilet turned jet black. Why? The only reason why I am curious is that a similar thing happened with my carpet cleaning equipment. When I go for any extended period of time without running the machine, the water that comes out at first is black.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Chat' started by Starks, Dec 23, 2007.
I just got a wii and would like to know if i can play game cube games on it
yes you can.have fun.
You just need a gamecube controller and a GC memory card.
yes you can
At the risk of sounding stupid. could someboby let me know how to go about doing this?
Yes, those two things are essential to have, especially the memory card.
As well as Gamecube games, you should check into the Virtual Console titles..play the Nintendo Classics, ranging from the Nes-n64
sure. i am going to explain in how to do this when the wii is standing vertically. on the top there is some sort of flap. open that and you will find some gamecube sockets. there is another flap alittle more back. open that to put the gamecube memory card in. and then just put the disc in just like the wii game discs.
^no problem. have fun.
Why can't you just read your manual?
^Does it relly matter ? Thats what forums are for .
good point mc evan. wii games cant save on gamecube memory cards right??????what does the wii have in terms of memory??????is it a card or an internal save in the wii??????
just asking..........
No, the Wii has internal memory that you save games to.
thanks. also is it posible to "mobilize" the internal memory?????? like on a sd card????????? so you can play your file on others wii like all the other systems in the past........thanks in advance.
Its got 512 MiB (Mebibytes, slightly larger than MB, or megabytes) internal memory and can support an SD card to expand that memory.
I wouldn't say expand since you can't play things out from the SD card. If you look it at right, the SD card is basically useless on the Wii unless you want to move saves from your Wii to another Wii or something like that. For everything else, it's worthless.
Yes. There is a flap on the front of the Wii, next to the disc slot. Open the flap and there will be an SD Card slot.
LOL! Good idea
