Henry Martin Leland is inextricably linked as the brilliant engineer who not only founded Cadillac, but was also responsible for many innovations during his tenure. He was 74 years old when he quit General Motors after a quarrel with Billy Durant. Following his departure, Leland set up a company to produce Liberty aircraft engines receiving a $10 million advance contract. As the war ended, Leland was beset with a huge factory, 6,000 employees, and mounting debt. Building an automobile was what he knew best, and that's what he did. Within three hours of announcing his new automobile, Leland had raised $6.5 million in stock. The automobile was named Lincoln, in honor of the first president for whom Leland had voted. After 17 months, just 3,400 had been sold and Leland's board of directors acted quickly to stem the red ink. On February 4th of 1922, Ford Motor Company bought the Lincoln Motor Company for $8 million. Leland departed just four months later.
Thanks to Edsel Ford's personal interest in the marque, Lincoln was a rare survivor of the Great Depression. This long wheelbase Model K Seven Passenger chassis carries a 3-window semi-collapsible cabriolet body custom built for Elizabeth Cates of Ohio. Mrs. Cates ordered the Brunn body with an enclosed roof for the chauffeur and extra headroom to accommodate her husband's tall silk hat. It was given numerous special touches dictated by Mrs. Charles H. Cates of Youngstown, Ohio. The list includes the extra-tall town car body to accommodate Mr. Cates' top hat, along with a solid roof over the chauffer's compartment so that Leonard Prather, her chauffer of 30 years, was protected. She requested black medallions on the wheel covers in lieu of the normal blue cloisonne, and key locks in the hood to prevent intrusion into the engine compartment. The car remains in nearly original condition with just 30,000 miles on the odometer.

I am curious does Self Edge stock the 1966 Sugar Cane jeans? I tried on the LVC version, but would like a tad more room in the top block and a tad higher rise. I heard that Sugar Cane made a replica of the 1966 and was curious about it.
No online shop restock of Imperial King?
Awesome! Thanks!

Seminar Hell
I knew we were in trouble when we walked in and the conference motel smelled like a Tom Waits song, or, as John said, "cigarettes and despair." The closest coffee was two hallways and an elevator ride away.
There is absolutely no way this instructor had ever taught a tech writing seminar before. There's no way he had written anything besides email in the past 10 years. He had never heard of any software besides Word. (His flummoxed face when John brought up Adobe Technical Suite was priceless). He had us do a cluster mapping activity, like the kind you do for brainstorming in developmental freshman composition. The PowerPoint slides were riddled with spelling errors, superfluous apostrophes, and random capitalization. But the best and most ironic error: "Proofread" was spelled "Proof Read." Hilarity!
The instructor never asked us what we do or what kind of businesses we work for, but made sure to ask for a show of hands of those who were in management positions and who had master's degrees. He wanted to know what he was up against, but his knowledge didn't stop him from going on a series of anti-education tirades. His lecturing was shaky, but with ease he blasted professors. He blasted tenure. He blamed teachers for all the items on his list of disturbing (and, I suspect, completely made-up) statistics regarding graduation, shrinking vocabularies, and reading levels.
The only other times during the day that he actually seemed comfortable was when he slid into sales mode. We were subjected to quite the book pitch. Some of the items made some sense, such as books and CDs that were related to business writing, but the longest pitch was for a money management collection. He started by asking the class, "What is the number one cause of divorce?" I think the answer he was looking for was financial issues, but Jenn, without a pause, answered "Marriage." The class erupted into joyful laughter (we were due), and the instructor had a hard time getting back to the task at hand (not teaching, of course, but selling us $100 worth of money management books on CD).
He was not pleased.
He dove into his pitch, nonetheless. It went a little bit like this:
When he wasn't blasting educators or trying to sell us stuff, he busied himself by making a series of racist coments. I'm not sure if this was just him or if it's a new Southern trend, but his equivalent expression to "bless their hearts" was instead "no value judgment."
You do know what I'm talking about, right? I lived in the South for three years, and I was often charmed or disgusted (heck, sometimes impressed) by the way some people believe they can say ANYTHING about someone if it's finished with "bless her heart." Examples:
1. "She got caught cheating on her husband, bless her heart."
2. "Our neighbors don't take care of their yard and the city threatened to clean it and then send them the bill, bless their hearts."
3. "He has a problem with the cocaine, bless his heart."
The seminar instructor made sweeping generalizations about "Asians and Orientals" and added "no value judgment." He made similar comments about urban youths and immigrants in general. Oh, the whole day was painful. I am not proud of the cruel way I wrote in my notebook the words he mispronouned (such as "singular" & "jargon"), but at least I didn't correct him. (Okay, I kind of did, but it was only because there was no way around using the word "singular" in my response).
When it was memory map time, he referred to it as a Gantt chart.
Have you seen Important Things with Demitri Martin? He starts the show with introducing the Important Thing for the evening, and on his huge sketchpad he shows a cluster map of many topics related to that Important Thing. Now, I'm no chart expert– I'm not sure I've ever even made a Gantt chart– but I've always thought that a Gantt chart was used to show project progress with graphs and timespans and such. (Not at all the same thing. He was just trying to sound fancy).
The class closed with, naturally, paper airplanes:

my favorite tuna salad
I get emails from time to time asking me what I, as someone who works from home mostly, eats for lunch. I can tell you this much: it's not glamorous. Often, I'm so busy that I barely have time to toast a piece of bread and spread some peanut butter over it, and lots of recipes I test don't a proper lunch make, unless you want to argue that cake, especially if it includes a vegetable or two, can be justified as lunch.
There have been times, I'll admit, to heating up Trader Joe's chana masala, and before you shake your DIY finger at me in judgement, I just would like to say: Trader Joe's makes a mean chana masala. How? I don't know, but they do.
Generally, it's not uncommon for me to be reheating whatever dinner leftovers we have, and unlike my husband, I love leftovers. Of course, as a last resort (or an insanely strong banh mi craving), there's always take out.
On days when I allow myself to take a wee break to compose my lunch, there's a fun trip through the pantry. I'm generally good at cobbling together a decent lunch for myself when time allows. Today was one such day. And I decided to make myself my favorite tuna salad.

Motor Vehicle Repair
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services regulates motor vehicle repair shops in Florida. Before you decide to bring your car in for any service or repair, call our toll-free hotline to check out that repair company's complaint history (if any). The Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act requires anyone who, for compensation, engages in the repair of motor vehicles owned by other persons, to register biennially with the Department.
Your automobile is one of your most important investments. Protect that investment by choosing the RIGHT Automobile Repair Professional.
The Automobile Repair Professional is your car's doctor. Like yourself, your car requires the highest quality professional care to have a long and happy life.
No matter what you drive -- sports car, family sedan, pick-up, or mini-van -- when you go in for repairs or service, you want the repairs done correctly. Follow these suggestions to take the guesswork out of choosing the RIGHT Automobile Repair Professional.
Before You Need Repairs
Read your owner's manual. Become familiar with your vehicle and follow the manufacturer's suggested service schedule.
Start shopping for a repair shop before you need one. You can make a better decision when you are not rushed or in a panic. Don't just drop off your vehicle at the nearest shop and hope for the best.
Ask friends and associates for their recommendations. Even in this high-tech era, old fashioned word-of-mouth reputation is still valuable.
The cheapest automobile repair is not always the least expensive repair. Saving a few dollars and not having your vehicle repaired properly is not a bargain.
Check with your local or state consumer organization regarding the reputation of the shop. Call the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP FLA (435-7352). Ask about the number of complaints, if any, and determine how the complaints were resolved.
Start with Small Repairs
Once you choose a repair shop, start off with a minor job. If you are pleased, trust them with more complicated and expensive repairs later.
Feel free to ask for the names of some customers. Call them.
All policies (labor rates, diagnostic fees, guarantees, methods of payment, etc.) should be posted and/or explained to your satisfaction.
Ask if the shop customarily handles your type of vehicle. Some auto repair facilities specialize in repair work for certain types of vehicles. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend specific repair procedures and equipment for the repair of their vehicles. Ensure that the facility you choose is trained in these procedures and has the proper equipment.
Ask if the shop is familiar with the type of repair you need, especially if you need major work.
If you are unsure you need a repair, get a second opinion particularly if you don't think there is anything wrong and the suggested repair is expensive.
Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Registration
Motor vehicle repair shops in Florida are required to register biennially with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This law does not apply to persons or companies repairing their own vehicles or who repair only vehicles used for agricultural and/or horticultural purposes.
What to Look for in a Repair Facility
Look for signs of professionalism in the customer service area: civic and community service awards, membership in the Better Business Bureau, AAA Approved Auto Repair status, customer service awards, etc.
Look for a neat, well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own. Also check for modern equipment in the service bays.
A professionally run auto repair facility will have a courteous, helpful staff. The service writer should be able to answer all of your questions.
Look for evidence of qualified technicians, such as trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work, and ASE certifications, a national standard of technician competence.
Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act
The Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act was created to assist consumers with matters relating to motor vehicle repair shops.
The act applies to dealers of new and used cars, trucks and motorcycles; garages; service stations; self-employed persons; truck stops; and paint, body, brake, muffler, transmission, mobile repair and glass shops.
If the repair work will cost more than $100, the repair shop must give you the option of:
- Requesting a written estimate;
- Being notified by the shop if the repair exceeds an amount you specify; or
- Not requiring a written estimate at all.
*Consumers must sign and date one of the above options. Motor Vehicle Repair shops cannot force you to waive your right to an estimate.
When a written estimate is required, you must be given a copy.
Ask if the prices quoted are for new, used or rebuilt parts. Make sure the written estimate clearly states which condition.
The repair shop must get your approval before exceeding the repair cost by more than $10 or 10 percent, whichever is greater, but not to exceed $50, so make sure you give them a phone number where you can be reached.
You can cancel repairs if they exceed the estimate and the repair shop must reassemble the vehicle, unless it is unsafe to drive. The shop may charge you for tear-down and reassembly only if you were given notice of that charge on the estimate.
You are entitled by state law to get back any replaced parts if you requested them initially. However, the repair shop may charge a fee, and, if the parts are under warranty agreement with the manufacturer or distributor, they may not be returned to you.
The Repair Estimate Must Include
The shop's name, address and telephone number.
The customer's name, address and telephone number.
Date and time of estimate.
Year, make, model, odometer reading and license tag number of vehicle.
Proposed work completion date.
Description of customer's problem or request.
Labor charges based on a flat rate, hourly rate, or both.
Estimated cost and charges for repair.
Charges for shop supplies or for hazardous or other waste removal.
Charges for making an estimate and the basis for the charge.
The customer's intended method of payment.
Name and telephone number of any alternate person the customer would allow to authorize repairs.
Terms of the parts and service guarantee.
Notation if customer wants replaced parts returned.
Charge for daily storage. Shops notify customers after repair work is completed; customers will then have three (3) working days to pick up the vehicle before storage fees may be charged.
- Disclosure statement.
The Repair Invoice
Check the invoice carefully. Make sure you understand the work that was performed and what you are paying for. Keep a copy of all work orders and receipts and get all guarantees or warranties in writing.
The Invoice Must Include:
Date and odometer reading.
Description of work.
Labor, parts and other merchandise costs.
Nature of parts (new, used, rebuilt, etc.)
Guarantee, if any.
Registration number from the certificate issued by the Department identifying your shop.
Amount Over Written Estimate
If your bill exceeds the final estimate that you authorized by more than $10 or 10 percent, whichever is greater, and the shop refuses to give you your vehicle unless you pay, here is what you can do:
Obtain a copy of the bill from the shop and file a bond for the amount of the final repair bill plus storage charges, if any, with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the shop is located.
The Clerk will issue a certificate directing the shop to release your vehicle. A law enforcement officer will help deliver the certificate to the shop, if necessary.
The repair shop has 60 days to file a lawsuit to recover the bond as payment for the repair. If the shop does not sue within 60 days, the Clerk will return the bond money to you. The shop, however, can still file suit after release of the bond money.
If the shop refuses to release your car after it gets the certificate, you may:
Consult an attorney and bring legal action against the shop. The winning party may receive attorney's fees and court costs.
Ask the State Attorney's Office in your area to file criminal charges against the shop as it is a misdemeanor for the shop to refuse to release your car when it gets a certificate.
Although you do not have to file a lawsuit against the shop, if you choose to do so, the Clerk will give you a form to file.
Registered Shops Must
Post in a conspicuous location in the customer service area, the registration certificate and a sign advising consumers of their rights under the Motor Vehicle Repair Act and giving the Department's toll-free telephone number for assistance or information.
Include in the sign a statement advising consumers they are entitled to the return or inspection of replaced parts, if requested at the time the work order is placed.
Include their registration number in any advertisements, announcements, or listing relating to motor vehicle repair in any newspaper, magazine or directory.
After the Repairs
- Keep good records. Keep all paperwork associated with repairs, including warranties.
Reward good service with repeat business. It is mutually beneficial to you and the shop owner to establish a relationship.
If the service was not all you expected, don't rush to another shop. Discuss the problem with the service manager, owner or president of the company. Give the business a chance to resolve the problem. Reputable shops value customer feedback and will make a sincere effort to keep your business.
If you do not receive satisfaction, contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP-FLA (435-7352). For out-of-state residents, please call 850-410-3800.

Caddo Parish school officials reviewing policies after alleged rape in school
By: Stephanie Claytor
Updated: March 15, 2013
A 14-year-old male student has been arrested for the rape of a 15-year-old female student. Caddo Parish investigators have collected evidence and believe the rape happened on Mar. 13 around 9 a.m. The male is being charged with forcible rape. Caddo Parish Schools spokesman Victor Mainiero said district officials are looking at how they can improve procedures so that students are kept safe while attending school.
"There's a variety of things that schools are making sure students feel comfortable about coming to talk to administrators, that students are in class from bell to bell, that security is following their routines and protocols on how they monitor campus," said Mainiero. "All of these things come into play."
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office said this is an isolated incident and there have not been any more related arrests. According to Mainiero, if convicted, the 14 year old suspect could face suspension and then possible expulsion from school.
Woodlawn Leadership Academy, where Woodlawn High School is housed, has two school resource officers and three security coordinators, as well as a security camera system.

Only 3 in 10 high school graduates from the classes of 2006 through 2011 have found full-time employment, according to a new Rutgers University report. The numbers are particularly dire for students who graduated after the financial crisis erupted in 2008, with only 16 percent who graduated during the recession employed full-time. By comparison, roughly half of college graduates over the past five years do not have full time jobs.
Overall, nearly half of high school graduates during that period are looking for full-time work, including 30 percent who are jobless and 15 percent who have part-time positions. Fully 1 in 6 of these graduates have quit looking for work altogether. Some 7 in 10 high school graduates ages 18 to 24, or more than 20 million people, lack a college degree, reflecting the huge challenge for the U.S. economy in producing enough jobs to absorb these workers into the labor market.
Who is struggling the most with student loans
Guess who's making $16.81 an hour?
Jobless grads: What they would've done differently
Such statistics also underline the scale of the task for U.S. policymakers trying to boost job-creation. American businesses added only 69,000 jobs in May, less than half what economists had expected. For the first time since June, the unemployment rate ticked up, to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent.
The current median wage for employed high school graduates working full time is $9.50, $2 above the federal minimum wage. That means those working full time earn barely enough to keep them out of poverty. By comparison, college graduates make an average hourly wage of $16.81 per hour, which amounts to an annual salary of roughly $35,000, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think-tank.
"There is tremendous pessimism among high school graduates about what the future holds for them," write the authors of the Rutgers study. "The number expecting their generation to do less well financially than the one before them outnumbers those who expect to do better by a margin of four to one. Most believe they are less prepared than the previous generation to enter the workforce."
In a sign of that pessimism, 90 percent of recent high school graduates surveyed by Rutgers said that high school did not prepare them "extremely well" for employment. Respondents in this group stated that if they could attend high school again, they would have taken different courses to better prepare them for a specific skill trade.
Other findings from the study:
In his January State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said that college "is an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford." Yet, due to the steep cost of higher education, only 38 percent of high school graduates said that they definitely planned to attend college in the next few years.

Seattle --
Washington state's same-sex marriage law was blocked from taking effect Wednesday when opponents submitted more than 230,000 signatures calling for a referendum on the measure, opening another contentious battleground for one of the nation's most divisive issues.
State officials are expected to determine this week whether the measure qualifies for the November ballot.
Opponents of the law, passed on a bipartisan vote by the state Legislature in February, said they believe Washington voters will defeat the measure, joining every other state that has put the issue to a public vote.
"Thirty-two states have voted on this issue. No states have voted to redefine marriage. People think this nation is divided on this issue, and that's simply not true," said Christopher Plante, spokesman for Preserve Marriage Washington.
Referendum proponents said they expect the number of signatures will be more than double the number needed to qualify for the ballot.
But supporters of the law said the petitions do not reflect voter sentiment in the state.
"We feel like we're in a strong position, and Washington is probably one of the more likely places where we can win," said Zach Silk of Washington United for Marriage, which will try to defeat the referendum.
Supporters of the same-sex marriage law have signed on a number of influential businesses in the state, including Microsoft and Starbucks, to defeat the referendum.
Former progressive radio talk-show host Ron Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, will headline the antireferendum campaign's Get Engaged to Defend Marriage Equality fundraising gala Saturday.
Referendum backers are turning to the churches. Supporters include the Washington Catholic Conference. The popular South Hill Calvary Chapel in Puyallup, Wash., has put the same-sex marriage issue at the top of its website.
Seven other states and Washington, D.C., have legalized same-sex marriage. Maryland is also having a public referendum vote this fall, while Maine voters will vote on an initiative to legalize same-sex marriage. Minnesota voters will decide on a constitutional amendment declaring that marriage is a union between one man and one woman.

There is one home for every 11 cats that are born, filling shelters with unwanted animals or leaving communities to deal with strays.
The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission attributes the overpopulation of cats and dogs to their owners' failure to spay and neuter their animals. Since spring is known as mating season, now is the time to prevent animal reproduction, officials said.
According to MADACC:
Spaying or neutering pets can eliminate or reduce a number of health problems.
Spaying can prevent uterine and ovarian cancers and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when spaying happens before the first estrous cycle. Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
The procedures also help with behavioral issues. Neutered cats will be less likely to spray and mark their territory, while neutered cats and dogs will be less likely to roam from home and get into fights. Spayed animals won't attract unwanted male animals or cry incessantly and exhibit nervous behavior because their heat cycles will be eliminated.
Spaying and neutering also can make pets less aggressive.
Until pets are spayed or neutered, keep them indoors or make sure they are supervised outside of the home. Cats and dogs should have IDs - tags on the collars with a current phone number, a Milwaukee County license or a microchip - to help pets find their way home quickly.
For information, call MADACC at (414) 649-8640.

It's been ages since I've started a Christina thread, but with a new album on the horizon (10 more days for U.S. fans), I can hardly contain myself. Christina slays me so many times with her powerhouse vocals, melisma, rasp etc. :hmlol:
Anyhow, here's a couple videos. The first one, Blank Page, was just uploaded on her Vevo account today so folks are guessing this ballad is probably the second single.
Second video is the first performance of her lead single, Your Body, that Christina, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots slapped together on the fly. It's being called the "Office" version but it's not official or anything. hehe
If you hunt around on YouTube, there's probably a "megamix" preview of all the tracks on the album. (Cease Fire is giving me life), but they're constantly getting pulled so I won't post that.

Alpha & Omega Ministries Apologetics Blog
Publishing Whatever One Wants To: Rome's Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, and Current Trends in Catholic Apologetics
05/30/2008 - James Swan
Over the last few years I've focused on current popular Catholic apologists, that is, those whose names you may hear on Catholic Answers, or find on The Journey Home. In order to be familiar with Catholic argumentation, the best way to do so is to actually hear them make their own arguments and interpretations of Catholic doctrine.I purchase their books as well. I buy these books because not only am I interested in how they argue, I like to see how they document their claims. I'm sure there are much better well-trained Catholic scholars who present far better argumentation (in books that cost a whole lot more). But the books that sell, and the apologetic book your Catholic friend at work has is probably one of the many books of popular Catholic apologetics put out in the last twenty years.
I have a number of these books on my desk at the moment. For instance I've got Not By Scripture Alone by Robert Sungenis staring back at me. This book was dedicated to John Paul II, and was checked over for accuracy by two Monsignors. Hence, it obtained what is called the "Nihil Obstat" and the "Imprimatur." I'm assuming many Protestants have no idea what these two words mean.They typically appear on one of the first few pages of a Catholic book.
Nihil Obstat: "A Latin phrase meaning that 'nothing stands in the way,' the nihil obstat is a designation that must be given before a book receives impramatur, the Church Permission for publication" [Alfred McBride, O.Praem, Catholic Beliefs From A to Z (Michigan: Servant Publications, 2001), p. 117].
Imprimatur: "From the Latin meaning 'let it be printed,' an imprimatur is given by a bishop for books on certain scriptural or religious topics. It is required for all Catholic versions of sacred Scripture and liturgical texts as well as religious books that will be used as textbooks or for public prayer. Otherwise, an imprimatur is not needed for every religious book" [ibid., p. 86].
I can appreciate Rome's desire to keep some sort of official standard that Catholic writers should abide by. I can even appreciate that Sungenis took the time to obtain these stamps of approval, as well as any others within Rome's walls that do likewise. It was a recent comment in a discussion on Dave Armstrong's blog that got me thinking about this. In yet another episode of "When Catholic Apologists Attack Each Other" someone commented on a recent book by Sungenis:
"Not By Bread Alone didn't ever get an imprimatur, either. Sungenis said it was because of some technical issue, but that wouldn't have stopped him from getting one later."
Armstrong responded, "Sadly, the Imprimatur is not always a safeguard anymore. My books don't have them (except for The New Catholic Answer Bible, and my books are perfectly orthodox. And some that have them are not orthodox."
The same person then asked, "Yeah, imprimaturs don't mean what they used to. Did you submit and get turned down or just never submit them?" He then noted the Catholic Apologetics Study Bible by Sungenis was turned down, as was Not By Bread Alone.
Armstrong: "Sophia Institute Press, the publisher of my three main books, chose not to do it. It wasn't really in my hands. OSV did for the Bible: probably because that seems more 'serious': being a Bible and all."
I'll pass over Armstrong's comment that not all books with the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur are orthodox, which is an interesting Roman authority problem to say the least! Give Sungenis at least this much credit, at least he tried to get the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur (by the way, this Catholic blog has some sort of obsession over this issue, and spends ample time documenting every move Robert makes- they claim, "In the end, it is noteworthy that Sungenis has not received an imprimatur on any of his books over the last 10 years"). Armstrong on the other hand, simply puts a disclaimer on his blog, and pretty much stated above he doesn't even try to obtain them.
Well, what's the big deal? "An imprimatur is not needed for every religious book." Well, it could turn out to be a big deal for those apologists serious about their Catholicism. Say you're a Catholic apologist without the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, and a local parish has invited you to give your testimony or an apologetics lecture. You decide to bring some copies of your book to sell. The problem though is, Canon Law says leave them home if you don't have the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur:
Can. 827 §4. Books or other writings dealing with questions of religion or morals cannot be exhibited, sold, or distributed in churches or oratories unless they have been published with the permission of competent ecclesiastical authority or approved by it subsequently.
Canon Law also states:
§2. Books which regard questions pertaining to sacred scripture, theology, canon law, ecclesiastical history, and religious or moral disciplines cannot be used as texts on which instruction is based in elementary, middle, or higher schools unless they have been published with the approval of competent ecclesiastical authority or have been approved by it subsequently.
§3. It is recommended that books dealing with the matters mentioned in §2, although not used as texts in instruction, as well as writings which especially concern religion or good morals are submitted to the judgment of the local ordinary.
Read this whole section of Canon Law here.
One has to wonder how seriously the recent batch of Catholic apologists take the above statement (§3). I just looked through my shelf of Catholic apologetic books, and many of the recent volumes do not have the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, while the older ones typically do. If Canon Law recommends something, what seems to be the problem for these folks? I'm tempted to say for some of them, their continual claims of submission to Rome fall short when it comes to having a career as a Catholic apologist. Sure, they say they submit to Rome, but they don't submit all their books for ecclesiastical approval.
It's easy to pick on the failure of Sungenis to attain official approval, and let's face it, he's produced some eclectic material. On the other hand, it seems to me many Catholic apologists don't even try to follow Canon Law on this. Why is the failure of Sungenis such a scandal, while a multitude of Catholic writers not even trying to gain the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur not? It's easy to claim that one's books are "perfectly orthodox," but one wonders if these apologists ignoring Canon Law while complaining about the orthodoxy of a fellow apologist who at least makes some sort of attempt to adhere to it have the right to complain.
I'm not just picking on Armstrong. He simply serves as an example since he's put forth a lot of effort going after Sungenis recently (by the way, Armstrong explains the problem with Sungenis and Gerry Matatics: "'Insufficiently converted from Protestantism' more than amply explains Matatics and Sungenis, as far as I'm concerned. But it's not Protestantism per se: it is an extreme form of fundamentalist Calvinism"). There are many more besides Armstrong that publish books without the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. I'm simply asking why they don't follow the guidelines their teaching authority puts forth- this just happens to be the same authority they defend in their writings.

ConclusionAt the close of the twentieth century, American society is very different from what it was at the close of the eighteenth century. Yet the Constitution ratified in 1788 still functions vigorously enough in a nation vastly increased in territory and population, vastly altered in its economy and technology. It seems worthwhile to take inventory of the Constitution's enduring advantages. (1) The Federal Union, held together by the Constitution, makes the United States the greatest power in the world, well prepared for national defense, able to muster immense resources in time of need, virtually invulnerable to attack until the development of long-distance nuclear weapons. (2) The huge internal free-trade area of the United States, and the constitutional protections afforded to private property, commerce, and industry, have produced remarkable and enduring material prosperity—all directly related to the organic law of the United States, the Constitution. (3) The division of political powers and functions between Federal and State governments gives the country energetic national policy, and yet leaves many important concerns in the hands of States and localities. (4) An elaborate system of courts of law, both Federal and State, keeps the peace for Americans and maintains the rule of law far better than in most of the rest of the world. (5) Civil rights for all citizens are jealously guarded by the Constitution, and effective measures are taken to make sure that no one will suffer solely because of his race, sex, or religion. In no country does there exist a higher degree of personal freedom. (6) Participation in public affairs and decision-making is open to everyone interested, through the constitutional institutions of representative government. From local school boards and township offices to the Congress and the presidency, it is possible for an American to make his opinions known and his vote sought. (7) No person, however rich or well known, exerts arbitrary power in America. Checks upon power, and balances of power, still function in the national and the State governments. Nor does any class or social group enjoy special privileges at law. (8) Individual freedom of choice in many things, personal privacy, and opportunity for success in many walks of life are made possible by a political system that takes heed of the dignity of the human person and looks upon the state as designed for the advancement and protection of that person. (9) Freedom of religious belief and practice is secure in the United States, and fanatic ideologies have not thrust aside the American habit of thinking for one's self. (10) Freedom of speech and of the press and other media of communication are virtually unlimited; opportunities for education, training, and self-improvement are greater than in any other country. All these ten large advantages, and a good many more, are bound up with our constitutional system and the customs and traditions that have been nurtured by the Constitution. But also the Constitution of the United States encounters real difficulties nowadays. Can it endure for another two centuries? Listed below are some of the problems that must be confronted by Americans who know that liberty, order, and justice do not endure if they are left unattended. (1) Any political order, including that of the United States, rests upon a moral order—a body of common convictions about good and evil, about duties and rights. The Constitution was drawn up by men who shared certain realistic and healthy assumptions about human nature and society. But nowadays in this country, as generally in the modern world, signs of widespread moral decay are obvious enough. Good laws are not upheld by corrupt men and women. The Framers of the Constitution spoke often of virtue, meaning by that word both personal courage and integrity, and a general willingness to sacrifice one's own interests, if need be, for the common good. Are the American people, most of them, still aware of moral obligations and prepared to uphold the Constitution in an hour of need? (2) The Congress and the State legislatures often seem to be lacking in able leadership, frequently timid, and too easily influenced by pressure groups and special interests. Too few Senators and Representatives take long views. Too many look upon politics merely as a means to personal advancement. The American democracy cannot endure a great while without a leadership that retains some aristocratic qualities—particularly a sense of honor, of duty, and of country. (3) More and more power is concentrated in the legislative and executive branches of the Federal government. Congress, with an immense new bureaucracy of its own, continues to create new executive departments and regulatory agencies and appropriate increasingly huge amounts of money for thousands of Federal programs. Matters previously subject to the jurisdiction of the States, in ever increasing degrees, are pulled into the orbit of Congressional supremacy, often by an unrestricted use of the commerce power, the welfare and spending power, and the enforcement powers of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. The administrative details, requiring the constant exercise of discretion and broad decision-making authority, are then turned over to a massive Federal bureaucracy. Congress has so many programs, infinitely complex, varied, and demanding, that the members are no longer able to debate the measures they propose in an intelligent and thorough manner. The executive department also grows larger, and the powers of the President expand as new agencies and programs are added by Congress. Immense new responsibilities around the world greatly amplify the President's diplomatic and military powers. Many major public decisions are actually made by the President's army of advisors and personal staff—a body of persons whose names are virtually unknown outside of the White House. The people expect more and more of the President; but any man, however able, has but twenty-four hours in his day, and is not infallible. (4) With each passing term, the Supreme Court and lower Federal courts handle more and more cases and resolve more and more disputes that were once considered to be within the exclusive domain of the State judiciaries. Both Federal and State courts are immensely overburdened by their case loads, principally because they have more laws to interpret. More judges are also willing to take cases that augment the judicial power. Months, often years, go by before cases are settled; and truly justice delayed is justice denied. Americans, it is feared, have become a litigious people, always filing lawsuits—many of them seeking to extract material advantages from wealthy individuals and corporations. Judges are made arrogant by the power that they have themselves amassed or has been thrust into their hands by legislatures. Some, instead of exercising self-restraint and confining their duties to the interpretation of the law, stretch the meaning of words in order to reach desired results, becoming law- and policy-makers. And jurisprudence—the philosophy and history of law—is neglected in nearly all the law schools. When the legal system decays, however, the organic law called the Constitution becomes infected, threatening the life of the nation. (5) The fifty States of the Union have given up to Washington many of their proper responsibilities, and frequently look to that national capital for direction. For many of their functions they have become dependent upon funds from the national treasury. If this decay of State and local energy and resources and imagination continues much longer, America will cease to have a federal system of government except in name, and instead will have stumbled into a centralized structure in which the States have been converted into obedient provinces. But the United States is too big in extent and too populous for a centralized political system to function tolerably well. The American democracy, too, has its roots in local and State government. Under large-scale centralization, real democracy would wither. (6) America's cities, nearly all of them, have decayed in all respects over the past half-century. Most Americans cannot remember a time when "inner cities" were good places to live. Jefferson feared that cities would be to the Republic what sores are to the body. We seem to be justifying his fears at the end of the twentieth century. The word civilization is derived from the Latin word for city; and a country in which cities become dreary and crime-ridden presently ceases to have a decent civilization. The most fundamental of civil rights is the right to walk the streets in safety. If the cities become places of ugliness, drug abuse, and terror, is not talk about extending the rights of the accused absurd? (7) Over the past half-century there has grown in the United States, with alarming speed, that class of people the old Romans (and the modern Marxists) called a proletariat: that is, people who perform no duties, give nothing to the community but their children, and exist at public expense. America's leading men of 1787 saw a good many people who were poor enough, but they did not have to deal with a true proletariat. Such a class, apathetic but potentially dangerous, has been produced, ironically enough, by America's technological and economic triumph. The hope of the Framers of the Constitution was that a vigorous and conscientious American people would cherish and refresh that Constitution. A nation of proletarians would require a very different sort of constitution, far less free. Has America today sufficient imagination and intelligence to redeem "the lonely crowd" from proletarian life? (8) The generation of Americans that framed the Constitution were humanely schooled in classical literature and English literature, history, the sciences of the time, political theory, and religion. It was understood in the early republic that a principal aim of formal education was the building of good character. But today's public instruction neglects moral knowledge, actually forbids religious teaching, reduces historical studies to a minimum, discards great books in favor of "current awareness," and shrinks from the task of forming a philosophical habit of mind. From kindergarten up through graduate school, American education nowadays is weighed in the balance and found wanting, by official commissions and foundations' studies. Study of the Constitution, for one thing, has been shabbily neglected in the typical school, public or private. A people whose schooling has been reduced to a vague familiarity with current events or the mastering of money-making skills may not understand how to keep a good constitution, or even understand its benefits. Can our democratic republic survive if our educational system fails to encourage such values as an informed and virtuous citizenry and an understanding and appreciation of the American constitutional system? (9) A grim destructive power in the modern world is ideology, or political fanaticism, bent upon the destruction of all existing political, social, and economic institutions and venerable traditions and beliefs. Whether Communist, or Nazi, or ferocious revolutionary of some other persuasion, the ideologue always has a master plan or utopian scheme, based on "scientific" reasoning, to remake the world. He detests constitutional order and aspires to erect a domination of his own party upon the ruins of "bourgeois culture" or "reactionary imperialist powers"—the United States in particular. Ideology is what Edmund Burke called "armed doctrine"—false ideas promoted by weapons. The Framers of the Constitution were no ideologues, but realistic men keenly aware of the lessons of the past and the limitations of human nature. The political structure they put together was quite free of ideological illusions. Have the Americans of our era enough sound sense to detect the fallacies in such an ideology as Marxism? Would they, like the Americans of 1776, venture their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in defense of their inheritance of liberty, order, and justice? Hard choices lie ahead, even into the twenty-first century. (10) To sustain a good constitutional order, it is necessary for many people in a society to participate intelligently and voluntarily, with real energy, often at expense to themselves, in public affairs at every level. The Framers took for granted this price that must be paid for the preservation of the commonwealth. What proportion of the American population today takes any active part in practical politics—counting as political activity any action beyond the mere act of voting? Making a small contribution to a campaign fund, attending a local political meeting, giving a friend a ride to an election booth—all of these acts count toward being politically active. Well, what percentage of registered voters are politically active? In California, the state with the highest level of political activity, about five percent are politically active. Americans generally have not been political fanatics, and one hopes that they may never be. But to preserve and renew America's constitutional order, more than five percent of the American people must take some interest in the Constitution of the United States, and make at least some gesture toward active participation in public responsibilities. The preceding ten problems of American society have been outlined succinctly not to dishearten young men and women, but to suggest the ways in which all of us can help to keep American life worth living. The recognition of difficulties ought not to make us despair. For the American republic is only two centuries old—young for a nation. The old Roman civilization endured for a thousand years; the Byzantine civilization, centered at Constantinople, for another thousand. English civilization is nine centuries old, at least; Italian and French and Spanish and Germanic civilization, older still. So there is good reason to expect that the American Republic will endure for many more centuries—supposing enough of us are willing to confront our national difficulties and work intelligently at renewal of our civilization. In Shakespeare's line, we must "take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them." How do we commence this work of renewal and reinvigoration? One of the better ways is to light what Patrick Henry called "the lamp of experience," to peer into the future by the light of the past. America's political past is best apprehended by tracing the development of the Constitution of the United States, from its roots in the ancient world and British institutions, all the way to the constitutional controversies that are so lively today. What we have offered you in this book is the basic structure of America's constitutional order. It is up to you to preserve and improve that structure; and you have a lifetime in which to work at it.

She loved it and was instantly hooked. We bought a couple jars and that is how we have been making Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken.
I think the sauce is a bit to thick for my taste, so I wanted an alternative. I have tried a couple recipes and haven't really found a Homemade Alfredo sauce that I like.
I saw a recipe at Recipezaar that looked really good so I gave it a try. I tweaked up the recipe a bit to my liking and I have now found a sauce that I am really happy with.
I love grilled chicken so that is just how i prefer to do it. You can also use heavy or light cream, I know this because the original recipe called for light cream and I grabbed heavy by accident.
I can tell you I made it with light cream and it curdled so I only recommend using heavy cream. If you want to lower the calorie intake use the light cream, but the results are not as good.
I served my Fettucini Alfredo with hot french bread and a salad on the side. I hope you give this recipe a try it really is so good.
4-5 chicken breasts, linguine or fettuccine pasta, butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper or chicken seasoning (see below recipe), garlic, onion, parsley and Parmesan or Italian blend cheese. (not canned Parmesan)
While pasta is cooking
season and grill the chicken breasts.
start on the sauce by adding 2 TBS butter, onions, and garlic to a large pan. Cook 1 minute, Add cream, cook for 3 minutes until reduced a bit.
add cheese and parsley if using . Stir well, I used my wire whisk.
then add remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until everything is combined.
Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken
8 - ounces fettuccine pasta (I prefer Linguine)
3 - tablespoons real butter, divided
4 - 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (grilled)
salt and pepper or
Emeril's original essence, Coronado seasoning or
any All Purpose Chicken Seasoning
1 - tablespoon minced onion
1 - clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 - cups heavy cream
1/2 - cup Italian blend cheese or grated Parmesan
1 - teaspoon parsley (did not add)
2 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Cook linguine pasta according to package and drain. While pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken.
Heat 12-inch skillet; on a stove top grill or skillet add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper chicken , cook and brown on both sides until cooked and juices run clear about 10 minutes.
You can also season with your favorite chicken seasoning as well. (Emerill's original essence, McCormick, Coronado Seasoning or whatever you like).
I cut my chicken breast pieces into smaller sections before grilling (see photo above). Remove from skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel.
To start on the sauce add 2 TBS butter, onions, and garlic to a large pan. Cook 1 minute, Add cream, cook for 3 minutes until reduced a bit. Add cheese and parsley if using .
Stir well, I use my wire whisk. Last add remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until everything is combined. Add cooked pasta to the sauce, mix well.
At this point you can add the chicken back into the sauce or place it on top of the fettuccine. I prefer to add the grilled chicken on top and garnish with extra shredded cheese.
Cooks Note: For a 16 oz package of pasta you will need to double the recipe and add one or two more chicken breasts.

Research Goals
THI's Women's Center research integrates the best in basic science, clinical science and public health science to address cardiovascular health issues that cause untold suffering among women, generate unsustainable economic costs and are largely preventable. Historically, medical research in this field has not focused on women specifically, and more often than not, women have been restricted from clinical trials. Even in more contemporary clinical research, women have played a relatively small role. Yet, we know women often display different symptoms than men and react to medications and certain treatments differently than men. One of our principal goals is to address these and other gender disparities.

Any offender shall, within 10 days of coming into any county, register with the chief law enforcement official of the county in which such person resides. The registration requirements of section 589.400 to 589.425 RSMo are lifetime registration requirements unless all offenses requiring registration are reversed, vacated, or set aside, or unless the registrant is pardoned of the offenses requiring registration.

Notification of the new address and phone number must be within 10 days of such new residence or address change. When a registrant changes his or her name, the registrant is required to inform the chief law enforcement officer of such change within seven days after such change is made.
For purposes of Franklin County's registration list, each registrant is classified by the criminal acts that he or she has been convicted of.
An attempt is made to locate the offender and a report is made by the chief law enforcement official or his/her designee, explaining the circumstances of the failure to register.

If they go a head with their threatened cut then it will just show what a bunch of children they are. I believe that they have a law enacted in the 1990's that says that they have to withdraw funding if UNESO make Palestine a member. What kind of country actually brings in such a silly law? They went around trying to strong arm and bribe other states to not vote for the Palestinians and they failed. Good that they do not have a veto in the General Assembly.
Obama tried to be sensible about Israel but someone got to him with strong arguments such as election dollars.
and here come the other bunch of children. Israel to mull sanctions on Palestinian Authority following UNESCO vote. Netanyahu to convene meeting with senior ministers to discuss punitive measures against Palestinians after they were granted full membership from the UN cultural body. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene a meeting with his eight senior ministers on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions on the Palestinian Authority after it was granted full membership from UNESCO. According to a senior Israeli official, it is still unclear whether a decision will be reached on Tuesday, but various proposals aimed at taking punitive measures against the Palestinians are expected. Israel to mull sanctions on Palestinian Authority following UNESCO vote - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News
UNESCO, part of the UN, an organisation more virulently anti American than any other.
Why should the USA cough up funds to pay for it's enemies to attack it.
If the UN wishes to spout lies and propaganda against the USA, they shouldn't expect the USA to pay for it.
Most believe all UN funding should have been witheld when the WHO released their dishonest hate fueled lies about the USA.
Look at how the UN rants and propagates against the USA when the USA follow an isolationist stance( think Bosnia in the early 90s).
Then compare how the UN rants and propagates against the USA when they fold to the UN demands and do as the UN insists( think Kosovo in the late 1990s).
Damned if they do, damned if they don't!!
All down to UN propaganda!!
(er, something to do with democracy and that stuff)
Well, what a surprise, 007 in a minority of one.
A so called Christian Country, refusing to recognise the world heritage status of the birthplace of Christ.

Have you recently been approached by a company claiming they can help you access your Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) pension early? If the answer is yes then you are not alone. Some of our members have contacted us as they have been tempted by the prospect of transferring their years of LGPS membership to another arrangement so it can be converted into cash and drawn before retirement. This is known as 'pension liberation', the latest financial 'scam' to hit the UK.It threatens your pension scheme benefits, not only those payable on retirement, but also those to your dependants on death in service. There will be an article on this in our latest newsletter due out in April. In the meantime, you may want to read the following information leaflet, issued by the Pensions Regulator, so you know exactly how the scam works and don't do something you may later regret.
28 February 2013
A new website has been launched to provide general information about the proposed changes to the LGPS in England & Wales from 1 April 2014.

LGPS Regulations have been changed so that employees with contracts of employment of less than 3 months duration will be able to opt into membership of the LGPS. Casuals with an open ended agreement will also be eligible to join and this would remain in force for so long as the worker remains as casual. These changes will ensure that the LGPS is a fully qualifying scheme for the purposes of the Pensions Act 2008.
Further information can be found on the Local Government Employers website.
11 October 2012
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is fully approved by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which means that you receive tax relief on your contributions as they are deducted from your pay. However, there are two HMRC controls on the amount of pension savings you can have before you become subject to a tax charge. This is over and above any tax due under the PAYE system on your pension once it is in payment.
The two controls on pension savings are known as the annual allowance and the lifetime allowance and this leaflet takes a brief look at the recent changes made to those allowances.
19 December 2011
Schedule 18 of the Finance Act 2011 amends section 218 of the Finance Act 2004 so that, with effect from tax year 2012/13, the Lifetime Allowance (LTA) will be reduced to £1.5 million. The LTA will remain at that level unless subsequently amended by a HM Treasury Order.
Subject to some conditions, individuals will be able to apply for fixed protection (to retain a LTA of £1.8 million) until 5 April 2012. HMRC will not accept applications received after that date. Individuals will not be able to apply online, instead individuals will have to complete a printed form accessed from HMRC's website.
It is an individual's responsibility to apply for their own fixed protection. For further guidance see LifetimeAllowanceguidance on the HMRC website.
3 August 2011
Local government pension schemes will be free to reform the fund and deliver savings to government without imposing a 3.2 percentage point increase on employee's contributions. For more information please see the following links. BBC News and Professional Pensions magazine.
25 June 2010
The ERPF, in partnership with your employer, provide presentations on the LGPS and how it works for you. Employer presentations and 1:1 appointments are agreed in advance. For course and venue availability and to book a place, please contact us on 01482 394198.
