Tarantino Chops Feature Length "Death Proof" For "Grindhouse"
"Especially if they were dealing with non-English language countries, they don't really have this tradition," said Tarantino. "Not only do they not really know what a grind house is, they don't even have the double feature tradition. So you are kind of trying to teach us something else. That was one. And two was [foreign distributors saying], 'Screw this double-feature stuff, we want a Robert movie and we want a Quentin movie.'"
Rodriguez and Tarantino actually made their films long, then cut them down for the American "Grindhouse" double bill. "We actually have no worries about that because we cut our movies to the bone in order so they would work for 'Grindhouse.' So the real reality is Robert did 'Planet Terror' and I did 'Death Proof' and then we did 'Grindhouse' and those are three different movies. Part of the reason we were kind of able to just go for it and try to cut it to almost short of incomprehensibility was because we always knew that the full versions of the movies would go out, and eventually be on DVD out here and half the world would see that version of it. I am actually excited about both."
When it came time to put the two films together, they briefly flirted with alternating the order in different markets, but then realized "Planet Terror" was made to go first and "Death Proof" last. "His seemed to start organically and my little freeze frame end seemed to end the whole experience organically."
Still, when Americans see "Grindhouse," both films have to deliver or the experiment fails. "If it only works as a nostalgic blast or if you have to know everything about this, then we didn't do a very good job. Conceivably the people who probably will enjoy it the most are younger people who have never had this experience before and they watch it and it's all new to them. It makes us look even more original than we really are."
Can't wait til Friday for the release of "Grindhouse?" Check out our "Grindhouse A to Z" feature for a fast and furious rundown of all the best exploitation classics that inspired Tarantino and Rodriguez' double feature sleaze-fest!!

Plants and Wi-Fi routers
Someone here may be interested in: Plants won't grow near Wi-Fi routers, experiment finds
Some girls in Denmark got some sort of an award for their experiment. Students elsewhere should find i easy to replicate the experiment and confirm or refute their results.
In summary: The girls placed six trays of Lepidium sativum seeds (a garden cress grown commercially throughout Europe) in a room without radiation, and an equal amount in a room next to two Wi-Fi routers. Over a 12-day period, they observed, measured, weighed and photographed the results. Even before the 12th day arrived, however, the end results were obvious: The cress seeds placed near the routers either hadn't grown or were completely dead, while the seeds placed in the radiation-free room had blossomed into healthy plants.
not exactly a scientific experiment.
its VERY possible the lighting conditions, soil, water etc...
were all a bit different.
as an RF engineer, i doubt this seriously.
i can see a teacher seeing the results, calling the local paper, then it goes viral.
no one noticing that the girl who was in charge of watering the other room was sick one day.
"while the seeds placed in the radiation-free room "
No such thing.
it's a cool idea for an experiment, but it was so poorly done as to be useless. There's no controlling for light, heat, moisture, etc.
And if it was true, we'd basically have no plants anywhere near cities.

I used some tax return money and was able to get me a Blichmann pot. Since this was an investment, I want to take care of this pot with kid gloves. What do others use to clean the inside bottom of their Blichmann pots?
I used to use a green pad on my old pot, but I think that is too harsh.
Thank you in advance.
Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist.
Children already know that dragons exist.
Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.
Never had a Blichmann, but I have found hot water w/ a touch of oxiclean to work well post brewing. Occasionally some bar keepers friend on the inside / outside will polish it up like new! Mainly the inside might retain some brownish residue....beerstone I believe. It seems to build after a few batches...BKF works wonders.
Stainless, right? It should be as easy as rinsing off with hot water and a rag if you clean in soon after use. If you really want to clean it use some OxyClean and a rag. There should be much of a need for really scrubbing it with a pad...but that's from my experience with Aluminum. BTW, if it is aluminum, dont use OxyClean.
Barkeepers friend will work great to keep it shiney. Soft rag or sponge and some BKF.
Stainless Weldless kits and Flat $5.00 shipping to USA 50 States!
STAINLESS STEEL 3 piece valves $10.95! 2 piece valves $7.99
I use Barkeepers friend after every use. I use a propane gas burner, and have no problems getting anything off the pot.
Thank you everyone for responding. Guess I need to take a trip to the store.
My old pot I would clean it with wash cloth and dish soap, but I started to notice a brown buildup, beerstone from what wilserbrewer says. I used a green pad, on that one, but... BKF will be the cleaner of choise.
Thanks again everyone.
Stainless is popular because it is easy! I have been using Sun a knockoff Walmart brand oxyclean which works very well. no scrubbing! have also used diswasher detergent, and the Farm fleet branded milkhouse cleaners for dairy farms... that stuff really melts away the crap! though its use requires some respect and understanding of chemicals.
Biggest thing i would recommend is to wipe it off after you clean it.. stainless will corrode, especially after strong chemicals without an acid wash at the end. wipe it dry or air dry upside down and your kids kids kids will be brewing long after your are gone.
OK, sure I have a bias but am amazed no one else on THIS forum went here. Other posts here list these options too so we would reco PBW, rinse, Star San (or Saniclean). Many of the items here do not have chelators so might be great in your laundry but will not address mineral soiling issues, such as the beerstone you mention.
PBW has several chelators chosen specifically for mineral soils from brewing and Star San or Saniclean will leave your pot in an acid state, allowing it to naturally 'heal' its passivation and never corroding. Actually, stainless, by definition, cannot corrode, but steal can. Stainless steel can loose its 'stainless'-ness which is why it corrodes. Choosing an acid sanitizer is the easiest way for a homebrewer to help his Stainless stay Stainless without using the nitric/phos acid routines the pros use on their sizable set-ups.

A connector has a small volume for facilitating utilizations in electronic apparatus. The connector includes a T-shape body, which connects with a positive-pole connecting leg and a negative-pole sleeve therein, wherein the leg and the sleeve have their tail ends to be folded. When a connecting pin inserts into the body, the power source and signal source can be securely connected at the same time for perfect conduction with dual functions.
1. A connector having dual functions including a hollow T-shape body with a front opening and side grooves, a hole and a recess being formed on top surface of the body; a positive-pole connecting leg being received in the opening, the tail end of which passing through the body and being folded, and the leg being provided with a middle ring with an annular groove, which is capable of allowing a slice to be inserted into the hole and engaged within the groove for positioning the leg in the body firmly; a negative-pole metal sleeve being received in the opening around the leg, having two conductive ends, which pass through the body and can be folded to obtain a secure connection with the body; and a signal plug being engaged with the recess while its inner end can insert into the body and reaches in the opening, and a shell being provided to cover body and all above means, wherein the shell having side engaging pieces for connecting with the side grooves of the body to obtain a firm connection and become a single object.
The present invention relates to a connector, which has two functions for connecting with a power source and a signal source at the same time. And the connector has a small volume for facilitating use in many electronic machines.
In most electronic apparatus, a socket for connecting with a power source is necessary. If a signal source is to be provided, a separated socket must be mounted in the apparatus then. Hence, the volume of the apparatus will be increased that would be lack of utilization for these days requirements. There are some improvements to provide a single connector for dual functions but the known improvements still occupy large volume.
The present invention is to provide a new connector, which has dual functions for connecting with the power source and the signal source at the same time and has a small volume that overcomes drawbacks of all prior ones. Now, accompanying with the following drawings, the character of the present invention will be described here and after.

"It looks like it was furnished straight out of Grandma's attic," laments this homeowner about her poolside patio. Overlooking the pool and, beyond that, a canal that leads to the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Coast, Florida, the couple uses this screened-in area year-round to entertain or simply enjoy a laid-back meal together. Hoping to give the space a more polished look that pays homage to their waterside location, the homeowners asked for our advice. We envisioned a cozy cabana in beachy hues with easy-to-care-for fabrics and furnishings. On the floor, a sand-colored stain warms up the industrial-looking concrete and distinguishes the dining area from the pool decking; a low-maintenance polypropylene rug anchors the space. The sophisticated espresso-colored outdoor dining set seats six, and will withstand the elements better than the indoor furniture the couple had moved outside. For comfort, we added an outdoor ceiling fan to help circulate the air on muggy days, and simple curtains made from weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric that can be pulled shut for shade and privacy, or tied back to enjoy the view.

WWP Round 34 - Ostara Traditions
Link to our Gallery
The Spring Equinox, when the day and night are the same length, has been observed as a sacred festival for thousands of years. This is the true return of the Sun promised by Imbolc six weeks earlier, the first signs of new life returning to the Earth. As Christianity spread throughout Europe, it kept many of the Pagan symbols of the season, such as eggs, lambs, and decorated breads, and others that weren't officially adopted by the new religion stayed on in folk culture. Both Christianity and modern Paganism have named this festival after the Goddess Eóstre or Ostara.
Many familiar Easter traditions have their origins in the ancient pre-Christian festival, and Wiccans and modern Pagans have brought new and reconstructed rituals and symbols to our observance of Ostara. In this swap, we're going to craft items for each other that reflect the traditions of Ostara, both ancient and modern. What favourite Easter traditions that you have adapted to Ostara? What new images and ideas would you like to add to your partner's seasonal practice?
This will be a 4 point swap, with each participant creating a package that adds up to the equivalent of 4 points according to these guidelines:
By Points:
Large=3 points
Medium=2 points
Small= 1 point
By Time
-Large = 4 or more hours
-Medium = 2 or more hours
-Small = less than 2 hours
By Size
-Large = A shawl, a shirt, a skirt, a set of jewelry with four to five items, a purse
-Medium = one single necklace or bracelet, a scarf
-Small = Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks
By Price
-Large = $30 or more
-Medium = $10-$30 dollars
-Small = $10 or less
PM me (Wulf) with this completed questionnaire to join the swap. Remember that good communication, both with your partner and the group, is essential to the success of a swap. So be sure to post regularly to the forum and stay in contact with me and your partner, especially if you're having any sort of trouble during the swap period. When you mail your package, be sure to get a Delivery Confirmation or Tracking number, and PM me and your partner both when you send your package and when you receive your partner's package. It's a good idea to take photographs of your crafts before you mail them (just in case), and please post photos of the crafts you receive.

Program/Project Management
The world's iconic unending job—the painting of Scotland's legendary Forth Bridge—is about to end.
The 10-year-long, £130 million project ($207 million US) is set to be completed in December—months ahead of schedule—liberating the span from the acres of scaffolding that has enclosed it for the last decade.
Aloysious A Gruntpuddock / Creative Commons
At that point, contractors and officials say, cliché buffs will need to find a new expression for "like painting the Forth Bridge"—an old saw that refers to a task that takes so long to complete that it needs redoing as soon as it is done.
'Job Done'
"For the first time in the bridge's history, there will be no painters required on the bridge," Colin Hardie, Balfour Beatty's construction superintendent, told The Scotsman, of Edinburgh. "Job done."
Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering gained the painting contract in 2002 after an earlier contractor left the project due to financial problems. That initial £40m ($63.7 million US) refurbishment package, which had begun in 1998, involved steelwork repairs, some surface coating, access improvements and an upgrade of the floodlighting.
Both projects followed a 1996 structural and maintenance assessment of the bridge requested by the UK's Health & Safety Executive.
Network Rail, which maintains the 121-year-old crossing between North and South Queensferry, said the work would end the "modern myth" that painting the bridge would never be finished, The Scotsman reported.
"Over the last decade, the bridge has been restored to its original condition, and its new paint will preserve the steelwork for decades to come," David Simpson, route managing director for Network Rail, told the newspaper.
Coatings Tested Offshore
The bridge's new three-coat system, designed to last 20 years, is comprised of a zinc-based primer (35 microns); a glass flake epoxy intermediate barrier coat (400 microns); and a polyurethane gloss top coat (35 microns) in "Forth Bridge Red."
Before applying the 56,532 gallons of coating, crews abrasive-blast-cleaned the structure's 4.2 million square feet of surface area to bare metal. The coating system has been tested on North Sea oil rigs, bridge officials said.
The painting project involved more than 200 workers.
Engineering Marvel
Construction of the 1.5-mile Forth Railway Bridge, the world's first major steel bridge, began in 1883 and was formally completed March 4, 1890, when HRH Edward Prince of Wales tapped into place a "golden" rivet.
More than 4,000 workers worked on the bridge, with its gigantic girder spans of 521 meters (1710 feet); 57 workers perished during the project.
The bridge uses the balanced cantilever principle. The main crossing comprises tubular struts and lattice-girder ties in three double-cantilevers, each connected by 105-meter (345-foot) "suspended" girder spans resting on the cantilever ends and secured by man-sized pins, according to a history at www.forthbridges.org.uk. The outside double-cantilever shoreward ends carry weights of about 1,000 tons to counter-balance half the weight of the suspended span and live load.
The bridge, a vital artery in Network Rail's East Coast railway system, carries up to 200 train journeys each day. Earlier this year, the structure was nominated as a Unesco world heritage site.
'Treasure' Touch-Ups
Of course, no painting job is ever really finished. The most exposed sections of the bridge still will require regular touchups, officials say.
Still, the current achievement should help quiet the chatter about an "endless paint job," the contractor says.
Marshall Scott, of Balfour Beatty, told The Guardian newspaper that the restoration would serve as a testament to the skills and expertise of those who built the "much-treasured structure."
"The now-fully-restored Forth Bridge will continue to operate for many decades to come," said Scott, "and it will provide the world-renowned image that Scotland can be rightfully proud of."
Comment from Chuck Pease, (9/12/2011, 7:29 PM)
looks like they might leave the tarps up as the coating life where they started might require another cycle :)
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (9/14/2011, 8:41 AM)
CONTINUOUS PAINTING WILL END!!!* (*except for continuing touchup painting. That doesn't count. Really!)
Comment from Jeremi Day, (9/15/2011, 9:24 PM)
I hear Tom signed a petition for them to move that bridge to TX. LOL!

THUMBS DOWN! EXACERBATING A TRAGEDY. Details regarding the deaths of two city employees just keep making things worse for the city. Immediately after Frank Romero, 49, and Gene Hern, 32, were killed when a trench collapsed on May 18, we learned that the 9.5-foot-deep trench hadn't been properly reinforced. And now, through a Occupational Safety and Health Board report, we're told two other employees expressed concern about the safety of the situation before the accident, but nothing was done.
The goal of redistricting is to adjust boundaries to the population changes over the past decade so that they are approximately equal. It seems simple enough, until all the political interests get involved. Then it must go to trial.
That's what is occurring in New Mexico right now. District Judge James Hall is presiding over a trial this week in which Republicans, Democrats and minority groups are arguing for their own particular tilt in realigning the congressional district boundaries. Soon to follow will be other state redistricting issues.
The latest Performance Effectiveness Report — a report card of sorts for the state's universities — is a mixed bag of good news and bad news for Highlands University. It points to some things that the school is doing right, and to places where improvements need to occur.
THUMBS UP! ACCREDITATION. For the first time in the city's history, the Las Vegas Police Department has earned an accredition from the state Law Enforcement Accredition Program. That means the city's insurance premiums are likely to go down, but more importantly, it's confirmation that we have a quality PD protecting and serving the citizenry.
As November comes to a conclusion, so goes National Adoption Month, a time to highlight the need for children and youth in foster care to find permanent homes with loving adults. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, there are 107,000 young people in the U.S. waiting for such a home. A couple of weeks ago, however, there were six fewer kids in the system — thanks to the actions of a single man, an attorney in Farmington.
Councilor Andrew Feldman's decision not to run for Las Vegas mayor adds a new dimension to next year's municipal election. Or, more precisely, it takes away a dimension, since the no-nonsense, intelligent Feldman would have been a real contender. And since Mayor Alfonso Ortiz continues to insist that he's not running, it's a wide open question as to who will lead this city in 2012.
Editor's Note: A version of this editorial first appeared in 2010.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. It's centered on a great American pastime, eating, and one of the better virtues of the human spirit — being appreciative for the blessings bestowed upon us. It also consists of long family weekends together, shopping, ball games, and relaxing with family and friends. All in all, this is a holiday that can be as hassle-free, or hassle-filled, as we choose to make it.
With the five-year anniversary of one of the great tragedies of our community — an unspeakable tragedy for two Las Vegas families in particular — our thoughts turn to the victims, and to the heart-wrenching outcry: Never again.
THUMBS DOWN! POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT. Las Vegas City Council member Andrew Feldman is ready to hang it up. Fellow councilor Diane Moore is too. Neither will seek re-election next year, and Feldman, who announced last summer his intention to run for mayor, has decided not to run for that position either.
Members of the East and West school boards are to be commended for their comments last week in support of consolidating Las Vegas' two school districts.
Their words nudged the community toward a renewed discussion about what's best for the city and its schools.

Children's LiteratureThis early reader, another in the series of Spider-Man movie tie-ins, is more of a day in the life of a super-hero, stopping robberies and muggings remarkably easily, with no aftermath, literally jumping from one scene to the next without true solutions. It is meant to be read by parent and child together, and as such, one would hope that the adult would explain and embellish the bare bones presentation. The last eight pages are the most balanced of the episodes, mostly because the episode is paced properly, unfolding in full. Once again, Ron Lim does a quality job on the art, which is integral to the format; but where did they come up with brick textures on both the red and blue portions of his costume?

The Knights of the Holy Eucharist represents part of the resurgence of vocations in the Catholic Church.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/22/2009 (5 years ago)
Published in U.S.
HANCEVILLE, AL (Catholic Online) — In medieval days, knights were men who were elevated by their king and consecrated to a position of trust. These noble and faithful men would pledge to give their very lives to the service and protection of their lord and his kingdom.
Today, members of the Knights of the Holy Eucharist, a vibrant community of consecrated young men deeply committed to the Catholic faith, provide that very service for their Lord and King, Jesus Christ, through their work at the magnificent Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of Angels Monastery in rural Hanceville, Ala. Situated on 400 acres of lush farmland along a remote country road some 45 miles north of Birmingham, the Shrine receives thousands of pilgrims each year who seek to nourish their faith amid this sacred and peaceful environment.
The Shrine and monastery, home to a cloistered community of Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, were founded by Mother Angelica, the beloved nun who entered religious broadcasting in 1981 on little more than a prayer and developed the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), the largest and most popular religious media network in the world. EWTN is headquartered some 50 miles to the south in the Birmingham suburb of Irondale, where the nuns resided in the original monastery until their relocation to the present site in 1999.
In the spirit of St. Francis
The Knights of the Holy Eucharist represents part of the resurgence of vocations in the Catholic Church developing from the "new evangelization" promoted by Pope John Paul II and continued by Pope Benedict XVI. Its members have as their primary focus the fostering of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament as well as the assistance and protection of the nuns of the monastery. Along with maintaining the grounds and facilities, the Knights host clergy, brothers, and seminarians on retreat; serve as acolytes at Shrine liturgies; and provide assistance for pilgrims.
Community members live the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience but do not profess public vows. In their daily work and personal contact with pilgrims, the Knights also seek opportunities to evangelize by performing works of charity and providing instruction and comfort when necessary. Putting aside the things of this world, they live by the motto of their patron, St. Francis of Assisi: "My God and my All."
The Knights strive for a structured balance of work and prayer. In addition to their assigned labors, Knights participate daily in Mass, the Rosary, Morning and Evening Prayer, and two hours of scheduled adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. They also take formation classes three days a week, make a Holy Hour on Thursday evenings, and plan a monthly one-day retreat.
Luke Johnasen, whose religious name is Brother Laurence, finds the life of a Knight to be very fulfilling. He entered the community in 2006 after visiting his younger brother Nyles (Brother Philip), who had joined the Knights a few years earlier after making a retreat at the Shrine.
"When I saw the Knights and how they lived their lives in work and prayer, with daily adoration, it really seemed to speak to me," said Brother Laurence, 28, who is originally from Hilo, Hawaii. "Even when we are not physically in the chapel of adoration, we are doing work around the chapel all day long, so we are still doing work centered on the Blessed Sacrament."
David Rodriguez, known as Brother Juan, became part of the community at the age of 18. The formation he has received there has given him "a deeper understanding of how God's grace works in each and every one of our hearts," he said.
Now 21, Brother Juan said that the sacrifices he has made to pursue his vocation bring him "a fulfillment largely in the joy that comes from answering God's call."
Called to serve
Like EWTN, the Knights of the Holy Eucharist was the inspiration of Mother Angelica herself. In the summer of 1998, with the Shrine under construction and nearly 18 months from completion, the foundress decided to start a new community of men dedicated to maintaining the facility, assisting at liturgies, and providing hospitality for pilgrims. Among those she invited to consider this vocation in consecrated life was 35-year-old James Fazzini, who had only recently come to work at the monastery. "What have you got to lose by trying it?" she asked him. He joined the Knights that August and in December received Brother David as his religious name.
Initially, the Knights boarded temporarily in a house just down the road. "We took an existing pole barn on the monastery grounds and converted it into living quarters because Mother wanted us to be on the property," said Brother David, who presently serves as the Brother Guardian of the community. "We've added to it ever since, and now we receive 200 priests each year who come to the Shrine for retreats."
One of the original seven Knights is Brother Pio, who is named after St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), the 20th-century mystic who suffered the stigmata, the wounds of Christ on his own body. Like his namesake, Brother Pio is a "victim soul," having been disabled since he sustained a serious spinal injury in a fall several years ago. Brother Pio presently lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., but visits the community once or twice a year.
"We felt in the early stages that we needed to have a victim soul, one who was called to suffer for the community, and Brother Pio is our victim soul," said Brother David, a native of West Virginia. "Because he is confined to a wheelchair, all the suffering he endures and all his prayers are offered for the community."
Two years ago, the Knights of the Holy Eucharist became affiliated with the Heralds of the Gospel, a rapidly growing evangelistic community that was founded in Brazil in 1999 and canonically recognized as an "association of the faithful of pontifical right" in 2001. The Heralds and their founder, Msgr. Joăo Scognamiglio Clá Dias, had developed a relationship of mutual support and admiration with Mother Angelica and were very receptive when the Knights petitioned Msgr. Clá to join the Heralds family.
On June 29, 2007, the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, the Knights of the Holy Eucharist thus became "a branch within the Heralds of the Gospel," said Brother Thomas Walsh, who lives and works in a Heralds community in Houston. With that union, the Knights of the Holy Eucharist share the Heralds' pontifical blessing.
That fall, the Knights enrolled its first candidates for the priesthood at Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, Conn. This coming academic year, the Knights will have six seminarians at various stages of formation.
Twenty-four-year-old Damien Pellerin, now Brother Michael, was one of the first Knights to enter the seminary four years ago. He was working in construction for his father in southern Louisiana five years ago when the two of them happened to stop by the monastery en route to a builders' convention in Florida. Having already decided to spend a year to discern his vocation, Damien was impressed with the Knights and applied for acceptance shortly thereafter.
"After I was there just a short time, I felt this was it," said Brother Michael. "It was really the charism of the community, the great spiritual life, the solid formation. Life at the monastery is a great gift to all of us."
Developing a sense of vocation
By fall, the community will have 12 members in all. Many more are envisioned for the future.
"Mother Angelica has felt for a long time that the vocations are truly there, that God continues to call young men to the consecrated life. Unfortunately, with all the distractions of today, they don't hear God's voice calling them," said Brother David.
As a result, "many young men today are not thinking about their vocations," he said. "There's a sense of a lack of fulfillment in the soul, and the soul can't be at peace where it is, and ultimately that leaves them unhappy. They have to develop not only the awareness that they have a vocation from God, but also how to carry out that vocation plan in their lives."
The community seeks applicants between the ages of 17 and 21 and hopes to draw more young men right out of high school. Part of the vision is to establish an academy near the Shrine that can begin the formation of young men separated from the world, Brother David said.
As the vision continues to unfold for the Knights of the Holy Eucharist, many more community members will be needed to serve the Shrine and monastery, form young men in the academy, and provide priestly ministry to pilgrims, sisters, and fellow Knights alike.
There is further expansion planned for the monastery grounds as well. Among these plans is the Pope John Paul II Eucharistic Center, conceived as an educational center designed to lead both Catholics and non-Catholics to a deeper appreciation of Christ's Eucharistic Presence — which is what the Knights of the Holy Eucharist are all about.
For young men still trying to discern the path upon which God is calling them, Brother Michael offered simple and straightforward advice.
"Seek to do the Lord's will," he said. "That's where we find our peace and joy."
(Editor's note: The Knights of the Holy Eucharist will be featured for the first time on EWTN's "Life on the Rock" program on Thursday, July 30, at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.)
