✧ Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her family Spam [41/50] ✧
Elisabeth is particularly proud of her thick hair, of which the combing and dressing takes up between two and three hours a day. Her hairdresser Franziska (Fanny) Feifalik plays a decisive role, since the former hairdresser of the Wiener Burgtheater is responsible for all the elaborate hairstyles. While hairdressing she has to put on white gloves and is forbidden to wear rings. After dressing, braiding and pinning up the hair for hours, the fallen out hairs have to be presented in a silver bowl, each lost hair bringing about a look of reproach from the Empress. Her niece remarks mockingly, that "the hairs upon Aunt Sisi's head are numbered". On a fortnightly basis, the hair is being washed with a specially made mixture of egg yolk and cognac, a procedure which takes up a whole day. In later years she probably tinges her hair with indigo and an extract made from nutshells. The hours spent with hairdressing are primarily used by Elisabeth to learn languages: Hungarian and later most notably ancient and modern Greek. For the latter she hired Constantin Christomanos, who reads to her, corrects her language exercises and philosophises with the Empress. Christomanos describes the hours of hairdressing in the Hofburg in the following way: "Hairdressing takes almost two hours, she said, and while my hair is busy, my mind stays idle. I am afraid that my mind escapes through the hair and onto the fingers of my hairdresser. Hence my headache afterwards. The Empress sat at a table which was moved to the middle of the room and covered with a white cloth. She was shrouded in a white, laced peignoir, her hair, unfastened and reaching to the floor, enfolded her entire body.

Gisela never has been close to her mother, being raise by the Archduchess Sophie her grandmother. Later Elisabeth failed in establishing a good relationship with her. She was very close to her brother until she married Prince Leopold of Bavaria in 1873. The couple had four children. She lived a quiet life in Munich, undertaken many charity work, supporting the poor, blind and deaf people. She died in 1932.
"To me Gisela is the ideal of a wife and mother." Marie Valerie her sister.

Sisi loved Hungary, partly a protest against Sophie, who detested all Hungarians, but also because she felt close to the language and the people of that country. The year 1866 saw Austria plunge into a severe crisis, which threatened to break Austria from many sides. But Sisi's commitment to an Austrian-Hungarian settlement on the basis of special rights and freedoms for Hungary released the tension between Vienna and Budapest. The Habsburg Empire was divided into two equally authoritative parts.A Dual Monarchy emerged, with Vienna and Budapest as equal capitals. In 1867 Franz Joseph was crowned King of Hungary – Sisi's biggest political triumph. However despite her commitment to Hungary, at the bottom of her heart Sisi was not a political person.

When Sisi's son, Rudolf, committed suicide in Mayerling with his loved one, Mary Vetsera, in 1889, Sisi never recovered from the blow. Increasingly growing lonely.
✧ Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her family Spam [29/50] ✧
On 5 March 1855, the soon-to-be eighteen-year-old Empress of Austria delivered a daughter who was christened the same day Sophie after Franz Joseph's mother. Right after being baptised she was taken away from Elisabeth by her mother-in-law, on account of the Empress being to young to raise two children. While in Budapest, both Sophie and her sister Archduchess Gisela fell ill with diarrhoea and had a very high fever. Ten-month old Gisela recovered quickly. However, two-year-old Sophie's body could not take it. At 21:15 in the evening, after eleven hours of struggling to survive, Sophie died in her mother's arms. The death of her oldest child would haunt Empress Elisabeth for her entire life.
✧ Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her family Spam [23/50] ✧
At the beginning of their marriage, Sisi tried her hardest to live up to expectations , although she hated the ceremonial of the Wiener Hofburg and the strict regiment of her mother-in-law, Sophie. Although Sisi's beauty and her naturalness were very popular with her people, Sophie did her best to transform the freedom-loving child into a disciplined empress. Sisi became melancholy. She found a little consolation with her very busy husband, who was her only foothold during her early time in Vienna.

Very few dresses of Elizabeth has been preserved. This dress isn't shown to the public for reasons of conservation, however a copy was made for the Sisi Museum of Vienna. She wore this gown at her farewell to Bavaria, April 20, 1854. Dress and shawl were entrusted to the Institute of Arabic Language at the University of Vienna. It is in fact a « Tugra » an ancient seal of Sultan which translates: « Oh Lord, what a beautiful dream ». Surely it was bring back from one of the numerous journeys of Duke Max, Elisabeth's father.

Young Philby : A Novel
When Kim Philby fled to Moscow in 1963, he became the most notorious double agent in the history of espionage. Recruited into His Majestys Secret Intelligence Service at the beginning of World War II, he rose rapidly in the ranks to become the chief liaison officer with the CIA in Washington after the war. The exposure of other members of the group of British double agents known as the Cambridge Five led to the revelation that Philby had begun spying for the Soviet Union years before he joined the British intelligence service. He eventually fled to Moscow one jump ahead of British agents who had come to arrest him, and spent the last twenty-five years of his life in Russia. In Young Philby, Robert Littell recounts the little-known story of the spys early years. Through the words of Philbys friends and lovers, as well as his Soviet and English handlers, we follow the evolution of a mysteriously beguiling man who kept his masters on both sides of the Iron Curtain guessing about his ultimate loyalties. As each layer of ambiguity is exposed, questions surface: What made this infamous double (or should that be triple?) agent tick? And, in the end, who was the real Kim Philby?
Author Information
Editorial Reviews
Littell (The Company) offers an episodic, multifaceted look at the making of one of the world's most notorious double agents, Harold Adrian Russell Philby, better known as "Kim" (after the hero of Kipling's famous novel). After a prologue set in 1938 Moscow, the novel proper opens in 1933 Vienna, where Philby plans to aid refugees from Nazi Germany, but is really looking "for adventure, a cause to believe in, comradeship, affection, love, sex." He finds all of them, neatly bound up in Hungarian-born Communist activist Litzi Friedman, who eventually becomes his wife and introduces him to the Communist Party. As "one of the last romantics," Philby is an easy convert, but the inevitable question is what motivated him to betray his country. Littell provides no easy answers, though in a coda he suggests a tantalizing rationale for Philby's actions. Readers should be prepared for an overwhelming amount of period detail that robs the narrative of any substantial momentum. Agent: Ed Victor, Ed Victor Ltd. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

We often speak as though the source of so many of our problems is complex and even mysterious. I'm not sure it is. You can blame it all on greed: the refusal to do anything about climate change, the attempts by the .01% to destroy our democracy, the constant robbing of the poor, the resultant starving children, the war against most of what is beautiful on this Earth.

Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times (for the good times)
I'll get along you'll find another and I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow...

What Causes a Yeast Infection?
Yeast infections result from an overgrowth of yeast in the body. It begins in the intestines, where the candida organism exists normally in small amounts, but it can frequently spread elsewhere in the body, creating what is known as "systemic candidiasis" or "candida syndrome."
When we're healthy, candida yeast is kept in check with a normal balance of intestinal flora--but hormonal changes, high acid levels, stress, and especially long-term antibiotic or steroid use can disrupt that balance and cause an overgrowth, which becomes an infection.
Left unchecked, yeast can change to its fungal form and multiply rapidly, sprouting roots that perforate the gut walls and carry the overgrowth to the rest of the body. This produces what is known as "leaky gut" and allows toxins to enter the bloodstream, overloading the immune system.
- Abdominal pain
- Brain fog
- Constant fatigue
- Bloating or indigestion
- Joint pain
- Itchy, red eyes
- Chronic sinus drainage
- Fungus on finger or toenails
- Craving for sweets and carbs
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- White coating on the tongue
- Unexplained weight loss or gain
- Hair loss or vision problems
- Depression -- feeling overwhelmed
Can Children Get Yeast Infections?
Yes, children can also suffer from an overgrowth of yeast, with symptoms such as:- Thrush (whitish coating on tongue or inside cheeks)
- Hyperactivity
- Irritability
- Learning problems
- Chronic cough or nasal congestion
- Recurrent ear problems
- Craving sweets
Yeastrol can safely ease symptoms of kids 12 and over, and is quick and easy to administer...just spray twice under the tongue up to 3 times a day! However, consult your doctor before giving Yeastrol to children under 12.
Can Yeastrol be used safely with other medications?
Absolutely. The Micro-dosed homeopathic medicines in Yeastrol are safe and have no known side effects or contraindications. It can be safely taken with other conventional medicines with no drowsiness or adverse side effects.
Warning: If your symptoms worsen or do not improve in 7 days, or if they persist or return in 2 months, consult your doctor.
Women: If this is the first time you have experienced vaginal itch and discomfort, or if you have abdominal pain, fever or foul smelling discharge, consult your doctor.
A healthy diet can help
Even if you"re taking medication to control a yeast infection, one of your first lines of defense against candida overgrowth is a healthy change in diet to keep from feeding the yeast organisms:
- Refined sugar, honey & syrups
- Sodas (even diet)
- Fresh or dried fruit
- Canned, processed, or fermented foods
- White flour products
- Rye, wheat, oat or barley grain
- Alcohol (especially beer)
- Any product made with yeast or mold
- Antacids
- Live yogurt cultures
- 6-8 glasses of water daily
- Fresh vegetables
- Proteins (chicken, beef, eggs, fish)
- Whey protein
- Acidophilus
- Raw garlic
- Nuts, seeds and oils
- Millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran

Diseases affecting coral reefs have increased in frequency and severity in recent decades. These diseases combine with existing human induced impacts on coral reefs to compromise their health and sustainability. Up to date information on the global abundance and distribution of diseases is critical in order to predict these impacts, to understand how current reef management practices and human impacts affect the spread and severity of diseases, and to inform policy and management decision making.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThe areas of the ocean that lie beyond national jurisdiction limits, also called the high seas, are vulnerable to human activities and currently underrepresented when compared to terrestrial and nearshore1 marine environments under protection. Thus, there is a growing movement among the conservation community to increase measures, such as marine protected areas, that can ensure protection of the largely undiscovered but important biodiversity of the high seas.
Resource Type: ReportsThe ability of coral reefs to survive in a globally-warming world may crucially depend on the levels of pollution to which they are exposed, new findings indicate.
Scientists studying reefs that were bleached in the late 1990s by high surface sea temperatures have found a link between recovery rates and the levels of contamination entering coastal waters from developments on the land.
Resource Type: ReportsThe deep sea is the oldest and largest biome on Earth, yet we have little knowledge of the ecosystems and processes in these dark, hidden depths. Only in the last two decades have new technologies enabled scientists to start exploring this last frontier – and their discoveries are fascinating but alarming: the deep sea is teeming with life but is already showing clear signs of anthropogenic impacts despite its remoteness. Many vulnerable deep-sea habitats and communities are being destroyed by fishing and are under threat from increasing exploitation of their mineral and living resources.
Resource Type: ReportsCoral reefs are the most biologically diverse of shallow water marine ecosystems but are being degraded worldwide by human activities and climate warming. Analyses of the geographic ranges of 3235 species of reef fish, corals, snails, and lobsters revealed that between 7.2 and 53.6 of each taxon have highly restricted ranges, rendering them vulnerable to extinction. Restricted-range species are clustered into centers of endemism, like those described for terrestrial taxa. The 10 richest centers of endemism cover 15.8 of the world's coral reefs (0.012 of the oceans) but include between 44.8 and 54.2 of the restricted-range species. Many occur in regions where reefs are being severely affected by people, potentially leading to numerous extinctions. Threatened centers of endemism are major biodiversity hotspots, and conservation efforts targeted toward them could help avert the loss of tropical reef biodiversity.
Resource Type: Journal PapersThis KML layer includes key information on the natural and mixed World Heritage sites that were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as of 7 August 2012. The information comes from the latest version of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA).
Resource Type: Spatial Data / MapsThese posters were designed to publicise the release of the World Atlas of Seagrasses and the World Atlas of Coral Reefs.
Resource Type: PostersSouth East Asia contains nearly 100,000 km2 of coral reefs, almost 34% of the world total. With over 600 of the almost 800 reef-building coral species, these reefs have the highest levels of marine biodiversity on earth. Heavy reliance on marine resources across South East Asia has resulted in the overexploitation and degradation of many coral reefs. An estimated 88% of them are threatened by human activity.
Resource Type: ReportsCoral reefs are an integral part of the Caribbean fabric, threading along thousands of kilometres of coastline. Unfortunately, these valuable ecosystems are degrading rapidly under the mounting pressure of many human activities. Understanding the nature and extent of these threats and their likely economic impacts on the future productivity of Caribbean coral reefs is of central importance to conservation and planning efforts.
The Reefs at Risk in the Carribean project was launched to help protect and restore these valuable, threatened ecosystems by providing decision-makers and the public with information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively.
The threat posed to coral reefs by biological invasion is unlikely to diminish and should therefore be considered in analyses of the effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas.

MLB Injury News:
Rather than contributing to the injury front, the New York
Yankees have finally gotten some great returns from it. Superstars Derek Jeter
and Mariano Rivera both made their 2013 Spring Training debuts on March 9
against the Atlanta Braves.
Rivera pitched a perfect fifth inning for the Yankees by
retiring the side on a popup and two called strike threes. It was his first
game action since May, 2012. Jeter was 1 for 2 as the Yankees' designated
hitter. He smashed a single to left field for his first hit in his first game
since Game 1 of the 2012 American League Championship Series.
Both players suffered horrible injuries that
required surgery. Rivera tore the ACL in his knee, and Jeter broke an ankle. Both
players left analysts and fans wondering if their careers were over, but both
promised to return to action by 2013's Opening Day.
Earlier in the day, Rivera held a press conference to
announce his retirement at the end of the season. He is the all-time saves
leader in both the regular season and postseason. Jeter is currently #10 on the
all-time hits list and needs only 211 more to crack the top five.
The Yankees are happy to have Rivera and Jeter back in the
lineup. They also expect starters CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes back by Opening
Day and Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira back in early to mid-May.

Peopled by the ingenious entrepreneurs whose unscrupulous financing got the line laid, the brilliant engineers who charted the railroad's course and hurdled the geological obstacles in its way, the armies of workers who labored relentlessly on the enterprise, and the Native Americans whose lives were destroyed in its wake, The Transcontinental Railroad reveals both why the railroad was built and how it would shape the nation, while shedding light on the politics and culture of mid-19th century America.
Thomas Durant re-directed the Union Pacific line in a crazy oxbow shape leaving Omaha, Nebraska, simply to add miles to the line -- and money to his pocket.
Oakes Ames ensured continuing support among his Congressional colleagues by distributing Union Pacific stock -- an activity that would go down in history as the Credit Mobilier scandal.
Collis Huntington sent spies to Union Pacific's suppliers and paid off a Capitol Hill doorkeeper to inform him about the UP's activities in Washington.
Crews from both companies cut corners, building hastily and poorly while racing to lay as many miles of track as possible. Pure profit was the motive. "The line we want now is the one we can build the soonest," wrote Central Pacific surveyor Samuel Montague, "even if we rebuild immediately."
Shortly after the site launched in 1999, we asked our users to answer this controversial question. Below are the results from this poll.
Do you think the railroad could have been completed without backroom deals and criminal profiteering?

The first thing to note about Findochty is that it is pronounced "Finnechty" with a soft "ch" as in "loch" (Scottish); goodness knows why, something to do with the Gaelic we believe! Anyway, Finnechty is about four miles east of Buckie and just round the corner from Portknockie to its east. The presence of Buckie is a boon to yachties who miss the tide when returning from far afield as one can dive in there and await the tide to get into Finnechty.
On the other hand the development of Buckie as a 24 hour fishing port as early as the 1880s was the downfall of Finnechty harbour as, when other harbours were reaping the benefits of the herring industry, the local Finnechty herring boats migrated to Buckie and have stayed there to this day.
Nowadays all that remains of the fishing fleet are a few creel boats and long-liners catching mackerel when they are running. The Moray council have installed a couple of tidal pontoons on the inshore wall of the inner harbour which are fully occupied by local boat owners, so visitors have to take an alongside berth on the West wall. There is no Harbour office or Harbour Master at Finnechty but one of the Buckie Harbour watch-keepers has special responsibility for the harbour.
There is a very active Watersports Club which runs yacht races and has social and racing intercourse with the Moray coast sailing clubs (mainly Lossiemouth and Banff which lie about three hours sailing East and West of here or two and a half hours if you are clever!). When the Council closed the Harbour "Office", the Watersports club took over the building which is next to their own wee "cuddy", and at one stage the Council tried to enlist them to collect visiting dues; they declined and today Moray Council relies on visiting yachties to phone the Buckie office (though there is a telephone number for the "harbour master" displayed on a board at the root of the West pier) It's up to you if you ring him; you'll get an answering machine and he'll drop by at some time to collect your money. If you do have to drop in to Buckie to await the tide they will combine the harbour dues for Buckie and Finnechty anyway. ... read more

Bar Harbor Tea Company
Popular Teas from Bar Harbor Tea Company
See All 10 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
Can anyone say "procrastination"?
This tea never tastes as good as it smells. But that's ok. It smells flipping fantabulous awesomely amazing, so it's only natural the taste falls a bit short.
Decent black tea base that doesn't get bitter at the drop of a hat. Nice, natural blueberry flavour that isn't sickly sweet nor watered down. This will never be a favorite of mine because I like milk in my blacks and this one doesn't really mesh with milk. But still a solid blueberry tea, which seems to be a reaaaally hard thing to do * cough * DAVIDsTEA * cough *
Technically, it's a good thing I'm not in love with this tea – they don't ship to Canada. No broken heart like with the fabulous Arbor Teas :( Awww great, now I'm sad!
So I bought this during my trip in Maine over the summer. It was pretty pricey for the amount I got, but it was my own little souvenir from the trip!
The tea leaves themselves smell predominantly of cinnamon, and stays strong even after brewing. Adding a splash of skim milk cooled the tea down enough to drink so here goes!
Interesting. The spice is the immediate flavor but the vanilla and almond are also pretty taste-able. It's not a bad tea, but I wish it had more body to it. The spice of it is really good though. I picked this tea with the intention of having it help warm me up with a comfortable home-y feeling, and that definitely comes across.
I am a little underwhelmed though.
Back-logging from this morning.
So, I stopped at the Bar Harbor Tea Co shop on my way home from work last night (huzzah! I don't have to pay shipping for this stuff! Na na na-na na. Ahem…) with the intent of picking up a Bodum travel tea press. I got the press but figured I'd pick up a new tea while I was there. I had smelled this one during my last visit (to pick up a new tin of the chocolate chai) and had been amazed at how much like the native blueberries this smelled. So I snagged a small tin.
Now for those of you who have not spent time in Maine or the Maritime provinces of Canada, there are two kinds of blueberries. Most of you are likely familiar with the big, plump, bursting-with-juice blueberries commonly found in the grocery store. Those are called highbush blueberries. What we have here in Maine is called the lowbush blueberry. The plants grow right down flush with the ground, no taller than 15" and usually more like 5"-10", and the leaves and berries are smaller than those of the highbush berries. But what Maine blueberries lack in size they greatly make up for in flavor. No highbush berry can compare to the sweet/tart/juicy fruits of the lowbush blueberry that grows wild in the acidic soil of the region. Yes, wild. While there are indeed fields where these berries grow and are harvested they grew there naturally, with no human hand to plant them, no field equipment to water them.
It is of course the flavor of the native, lowbush wild blueberry that is used in this tea. The bright, red-amber liquor is redolent with the aroma and flavor of these berries, even more strongly in the aftertaste. And I would love to know what variety of black tea was used as a base for this as the steeped leaves are quite colorful. Large, though broken, and green, but with red-brown veins and stems.
And writing this has made me want another cup of this tea!
On my way home from my new job I stopped by the Bar Harbor Tea Company shop (it's just a few doors down from the gallery I'm working at) to pick up a new tin of this since I finished up the old tin a couple weeks ago just before they re-opened. This is what I used when I gave my son his first taste of tea. Yes, I gave caffeine to a three year old, no, he wasn't bouncing off the walls afterward, yes, he absolutely loved it. And he still loves it, had some with me this morning.
As the description says, it's not super chocolaty, but you can definitely taste the chocolate. It, and the black tea, is more of a back-up singer to the lovely duet of the cinnamon and cardamom. I also usually add cloves to this but decided to go without for the purposes of the review…I'll definitely be adding them next time though. I need cloves in my chai.
I'm mixed with this tea. It's very potent with the blueberry flavor (it's very fresh tasting and not too sweet) but not enough of the tea aspect comes through. I think that a longer steep time is better for this one. The blueberry flavors stay but the tea flavors really shine when steeped longer.

I stopped caring after Delilah was eliminated. The rest are just unimpressive to me. Penatonix hasn't ever wowed me at all--I can't stand the weak lead. He needs to work on his vocals.

Why Cries of Racism Won't Sink Volkswagen's Super Bowl Ad Deutsch spot still likely to air
For Volkswagen, one of the most celebrated Super Bowl advertisers of recent years, it's been a tough 24 hours. After the company released its 2013 Super Bowl spot (posted below) on Monday morning—showing a white Minnesota office worker speaking like a happy Jamaican—it was met with mostly favorable if not particularly ecstatic reviews. (You can't make "The Force" every year, after all.) But soon, there were rumblings that it might be racist, or at least seen as such. Among the critics was New York Times columnist Charles Blow, who said Monday on CNN that the fake accent was like "blackface with voices."
The criticism has become more prominent, if not necessarily more widespread, in the hours since then. In response, VW has said it talked to 100 Jamaicans during the research process, and has now added this statement:
"The concept of Volkswagen's 'Get Happy' advertisement is to put a smile on your face, and continues to build upon the heritage of 'human stories, told simply.' The protagonist in the commercial is intentionally meant to portray an upbeat perspective and intelligence as he influences his coworkers to 'Get Happy.' His accent is intended to convey a relaxed, cheerful demeanor while encouraging a positive attitude as the antidote to a tough Monday. Everyone can relate to being in an office and being ground down by the pressures of work and 'Get Happy' brings an optimistic, bright spirit into an otherwise mundane day."
Of course, in terms of the ad's fate, what matters most now isn't whether it's racist but whether it's perceived that way. In that regard, the indicators are good so far for Volkswagen. In a Today.com poll, 93 percent of respondents (out of 15,000 votes cast) said the ad is not racist. Likewise, the YouTube page is being flooded with many more positive comments than negative ones—many from people claiming to be Jamaican. (The likes-to-dislikes ratio on the video is also impressive: 2,443 to 168.)
While it won't say so explicitly, Volkswagen can lean on three facts here: First, the Jamaican accent is not exclusively a black accent. This technically makes it difficult to call the ad racist, even though its humor is racial—i.e., it clearly derives from showing a white guy talking like a black guy.
Second, perhaps due to the laid-back reputation of the island nation, the Jamaican accent is simply not seen by many Americans as an offensive one to imitate. By contrast, an ad with white Minnesotans talking in stereotypical Asian accents clearly wouldn't fly.
Third, the entire tone of the ad is positive and feel-good. This makes it less likely for people to want to punish Volkswagen for it. The theme and very title of the ad, "Get Happy," is a rebuke to critics who would want to spoil the party.
If push comes to shove and VW does pull the ad, the automaker will still appear on the game. VW marketing officer Tim Mahoney told USA Today: "To minimize the risk, we have a backup."
It won't come to that. VW will ride this one out.

St. James pastor speaks out against new English translation of Mass
The Very Rev. Michael Ryan, longtime pastor of Seattle's St. James Cathedral, is taking an outspoken position against a new English translation of the text that guides the Roman Catholic Mass.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A new translation of the book that guides the prayers and responses of the Roman Catholic Mass is coming to parishes, and the longtime pastor of Seattle's St. James Cathedral isn't happy about it, saying some of the language is awkward and clumsy.
The Very Rev. Michael G. Ryan also is critical of how the revision came down, saying the process violates the spirit of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council which, among other changes, included priests celebrating Mass in English rather than in Latin.
The new English translation of the revised Roman Missal is a more literal translation from the Latin and lacks richness and beauty, Ryan said.
He said it will lead parishioners long accustomed to saying and responding to prayers a certain way to wonder why the changes were needed and will put priests in a position of having to "sell" the new translation even if they don't like it.
So he has taken some unusually bold steps, writing about his concerns in the Dec. 14 issue of the Jesuit magazine "America," and calling for a waiting period to test market the new translation before it reaches all English-speaking parishes, possibly in the next year or two.
He's also set up a Web site (www.whatifwejustsaidwait.org), encouraging priests, bishops and lay Catholics to sign up in support of his position.
"I know it might smack of insubordination to talk this way," Ryan wrote in his piece in "America." But "what is at stake, it seems to me, is nothing less than the church's credibility."
The new translation, recently approved by U.S. bishops, is still awaiting approval from the Vatican.
While some Catholics see it as a welcome return to more traditional elements, Ryan says he's hearing from Catholics across the spectrum who are simply wondering why the change is needed and how it helps their prayer life.
In South Africa, where it was mistakenly introduced earlier this year, Ryan said, the response was not good. People he's spoken with who are familiar with the changes haven't liked them either.
Ryan said one example is that the phrase "Joseph, her husband," has been changed in the new translation to "Joseph, spouse of the same virgin."
Other new phrases he cited in the "America" article include such examples as "consubstantial with the Father," and "oblation of our service."
Ryan said he feels so strongly about the issue because "we're dealing now with the heart of our church — the central prayer. There's no more important prayer for us than the Mass." In the 1960s, the Second Vatican Council — or Vatican II — initiated changes that were intended to open the church and update its rituals. Along with saying Mass in English or other local languages, Vatican II gave bishops in each region the authority to produce their own translations, subject to Vatican approval.
Ryan believes that spirit of local initiative was violated.
"The initiative came from the Vatican," Ryan said. "They put people in place to do the translations who would meet their expectation."
The Rev. Thomas Reese, former "America" editor and senior fellow with the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University, agrees with Ryan's take.
"I think this is a liturgical train wreck that is going to be happening when they implement this thing," Reese said.
The reaction of people in the pews, he said, is likely to be, "This is not better. In fact, it's worse."
But others say they like what they've seen of the new translation.
Joseph Bottum, editor of the magazine "First Things," which frequently focuses on Catholicism, says the new translation isn't perfect. "But it's a step in the right direction. It's more faithful to the Latin, and thereby more reflective of the long liturgical tradition of the church."
Plus, the new translation will include elements of the old Latin Mass that were left out of the previous English translation, he said.
He expects the reaction to be far more muted than with the sweeping changes of Vatican II, about which "some people were ecstatic," he said, and "some people were furious."
If the Vatican approves the new translation — which is almost certain, given the conservative stance of Pope Benedict XVI — a period of education in the parishes will take place, with some observers saying the new translation probably wouldn't be introduced until 2011.
Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, says it's "very unlikely" that Ryan's effort will succeed.
She noted the bishops have been discussing and voting on various sections of the new translations since 2004 and their final vote for approval in November was by a wide margin.

Hi Guys !!
As some of you may know, i have been searching for a Horse Fly in the UK for years now. Some of you won't understand why i was so happy when i found this fly and how excited i was to share it's beauty with you all !
Wednesday night as i relaxed on the couch after a long ride I heard my
mum scream before telling me a fly was chasing her around the kitchen.
At first I thought the least of it as most flies just do laps of a
room, but this fly was hovering close to the ground and was following
my mum around the kitchen. At this point i had a feeling it was some
kind of Robber fly or something like a Mosquito looking for food but
on close examination when i saw those compound eyes i knew for sure i
had a Horse Fly !
I took it up to my room and let it out the jar to hold it for a bit,
stupidly. It bit me straight away so i put it back in the jar. Because
of this i knew i also had a female - even better !
Females have this lovely wash of colour over their compound eyes and
they have jaws like no other bug ready to sink them into your flesh to
feed on blood which helps in egg fertilization or something...
I immediately got to work with the stack, cleaning her up before i did
so as i wanted a clean stack with no little white bits, whatever they
are. Unfortunately they can't be avoided without cleaning them with
soapy water, something i didn't want to have to do.
After an hour of getting ready i began the stack and ended up with 402
images ready to stack and edit for later. I will be getting another
photo of different angle, but this first one was to show you the eyes
mainly as I couldn't get over how colourful they were. I showed my mum
the fly also, its amazing how people don't appreciate the beauty in
bugs, i believe that if they could see them this close all the time
they would not squish them :o
For the setup i used Bellows, 3 sets of extension tubes and 4x microscope objective, she was quite a small fly as they have only just appeared and normally grow much bigger late summer - August.
This is a single stack, no separate stacks needed but touching up took a while and editing in Photoshop also to rid of shadows and dust which seemed to evolve during the photo-shoot annoyingly !
Anyway, hope you like it - more to come of this fly, and hopefully a male soon as i am seeing them all the time now :D Enjoy the week !

Cool story. 402 beats my deepest stack by 90 images. That's crazy. It looks pretty good. I'd clone out some of the dirty spots. I usually do this at 200-400% magnification in photoshop. It does appear that detail is starting to show through the left antenna (??). A substack of that section will clean that up nicely.
incredible. thank you for the explanations. Its very interesting. Nice shot !
the fly is extremely ugly, but this photo is just perfect macro. chapeau de sa tête!
excellent description and awesome macro shot here

Nice one Francis, vicious little beggars these, also called Cleg Flies, I've had a few painful bites off these before, but I did manage a field stack of a male last year, they are a safe bet as they don't bite, it's just these females that do the damage, I love this eyes, have you tried a more head on stack yet?
Supreme stacking, great work. It is a great looking fly at this magnification, love those eyes.
Those are some psychedelic eyes!
great macro!
Well I just dropped by to see what you've been up to (still not getting notification of your new stuff) and I find this stunner-you've been busy Francis. I'm amazed at this 400 shots? I'd still be stacking now with my set-up! It's a terrific job though mate, well done you. What an effort.
groovy eyeballs on this one Francis
Beautiful creature and excellent stack!
