Immigration Policy: An Argument for Opening America's Borders
The empirical and economic benefits of open borders
December 7, 2012Immigration is a strange issue. Although it is the subject of a lot of popular fear and political debate, there is an overwhelming consensus among economists that it is, on the whole, a great blessing. What's more, this consensus cuts not only across political, but also methodological lines, with classical liberal, neo-classical, Chicago school, Austrian, and even some Keynesian economists agreeing that relatively unfettered labor mobility maximizes economic growth. John Stuart Mill even went so far as to say that migration was "one of the primary sources of progress." Adam Smith opposed mercantilist restrictions not just on capital, but on labor as well. Ludwig von Mises, the guru of the Austrian school, advocated a system of free trade where capital and labor would be employed wherever conditions are most favorable for production.
The one prominent exception was Karl Marx. Although he doesn't seem to have treated this subject in a systematic way, his comments here and there suggest that he was no fan of immigration. For example, he regarded England's decision to absorb the "surplus" Irishmen being driven out of their country during the Great Famine not as a benefit but a ploy by the English bourgeoisie to "force down wages and lower the material and moral position of the English working class." The popular, modern-day restrictionist canard that immigration from the Third World to rich countries is tantamount to "importing poverty" has its genesis in Marxist thought. Indeed, far from being embarrassed by this lineage, restrictionists tout it. Consider this quote by Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, the premier restrictionist outfit in the country: "Employer organizations spend enormous resources lobbying the government to import a 'reserve army of labor,' to use Marx's phrase, so that they can hold down their labor costs and avoid unionization."
It is ironic that half of the public in the free world, including America, the land of immigrants, sides not with free-market economists like Adam Smith and Ludwig von Mises—but with Marx, the father of socialism.
The primary reason for this is that the case for open borders is counterintuitive. It is hard to see how, in a world with finite resources, allowing more people into a country would enhance its prosperity instead of leading to overcrowding, more job competition and lower wages. But this Malthusian worldview, I will argue, is ultimately flawed—even dangerously so. I will lay out the theoretical case for open borders, present the empirical evidence showing that immigration is a net boon and address the common restrictionist objection to open borders: the issue of welfare.
But, first, what does open borders mean?
Alabama's War on Immigrants
The state's harsh immigration law will only worsen its economic woes.
November 15, 2011Conservatives are resorting to ever more draconian measures to take back the country from "illegal immigrants." The latest state to declare an all-out jihad is Alabama. But as with slavery and segregation, they are using the government to commit sins that will eventually require even more government to undo.
Why Are Illegal Immigrants Declining
September 26, 2011, 8:23pmThere was a DHS report in July noting that the number of arrests at our borders (includes Canadian border, but most are at the Mexico border) has been declining since 2005, and that we only arrested 500,000 people in 2010 crossing the border. I say only because we arrested 1.7 million at the border in 2000. Decent decline, and the lowest in 40 years according to DHS. Why?
Michele Bachmann's Unholy Crusade
The GOP presidential hopeful bashes unauthorized workers.
August 30, 2011Just when Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign badly needed some class, writes Shikha Dalmia, Bachmann reached into the mud and found another group to demonize besides homosexuals: illegal immigrants. She announced recently that she would become the first GOP presidential candidate to make opposition to illegal immigration a signature issue, no doubt in a bid to shore up her flagging poll numbers against Rick Perry.
A Laughing Matter
Immigration policy is a joke on both the left and right.
August 26, 2011If you're looking for laughs, the nation's capital probably isn't the place to start your search. But you can still find reasons for levity if you try. Take immigration. As A. Barton Hinkle explains, immigration policy is a joke on both the left and right.
Obama's Anti-Immigrant Stance
Under the guise of immigration enforcement, the White House pushes a pro-union agenda.
July 12, 2011When it comes to immigration policy, writes Shikha Dalmia, President Barack Obama has found his inner Machiavelli. He has devised an enforcement approach that both disarms conservatives and delights labor unions. But as Dalmia explains, under the guise of immigration enforcement, the White House is pushing a pro-union, job-killing agenda.

Many years havo passed since we ■were sitting together, one May morning, in a trelliscd arbor that overlooked Men- tone and its western bay. My friend was a handsome man of 40 years or po, a landscape painter, who lacked fame, I believe, only because he Jacked, the desire of fame and the spur- pf poverty because he cpnld, bo content with art for art'sgake. "'"If you like," Le said, "I will tell yon a queer story about myself. I do not swear you to secrecy, since love laughs at the vows of confidants as well as of lovers, but, as you are an alter ego, you must agree to keep my story to yourself till the actors; have left the ecenc. Besides^ 5 do aei suppose you Si\\ oyer, "yearn desperately to impart e secret to others." I laughingly held out my hand in sign of agreement, and he proceeded with his tale. "You must know," he began, "that from my early childhood my mother's brother steed to mo in place of parents- Well to do, leisured, he was. mainly engrossed in scientific, p^rsuite. Grave, of seyer^s ontjl dignified' demeanor, he had -long-'cultivated the talent of silence. As 1 grew up he indulged me in my desire of freedom and my love of art. He expressed himself as satisfied with my choice of profession, supplied me amply with requisite funds, approved my diligence, shook his head at most when I could not show him many new studies. There was only one subject which could serve to break down his reserve, and that was woman. Even then he seldom ventured beyond witty^pigrams. The cause of this corifirmed misogyny I may be right in assigning to some youthful love disappointment, but I have nothing but conjecture to base upon. J was eager to please this crabbed, austere uncle of mine, whom I knew to be warm hearted at the core, so unostentatiously helpful was he to all whom he discovered to be in need of assistance, but my eagerness led me to the commission of an error. I was constantly on the lookout for epigrams that should be new to him and occasionally managed to fashion one which I could produce as an impromptu. I readily seized opportunities to pass from epigram to declamation. In a word, I overdid my part. And yet my uncle seemed to quietly smile at my sallies and often congratulated me on my revolt from petticoat government. "Well, lean honestly say that for long my art was my sole mistress, but when I was reaching my thirtieth year Don Cupid spread his wiles and captured me.' I was making studies of Picardy scenery and visiting at a pleasant chateau. My hostess' daughter one day informed me that the dear music mistress and friend of her school days (an English lady, sho added) was to arrive in the course cf the week. 'My fate, my fate,' I murrnxured at her advent. It was a case pf love at first sight; and, moreover-, tiio conp do*'|pudre was not onesided, I committed another error, much graver than thejfirst. I told her of my uncle's idiosyncrasy and, though she was inesperieijced (she was but a year or tWQ younger than I) and had not Jacked, could not have lacked, unaccepted lovers, I won her reluctant consent to a secret marriage. The case was simplified since she had none but distant relatives, could readily resign her post, cared not for society. And so we spent a happy winter in the London in which my uncle and I lived, but not together —hidden, unsuspected. In the spring it- Was my custom to go to Italy, and of course my cry this time was Italiaui petimus, first person plural. "But with the spring came tho unexpected death of my uncle. Onemorning Iran" at hia door and was stupefied by the Mings that he had been found but art hour or two ago dead in his bed. A messenger had been sent a% once to my studio, but I was not there.* I had just come in time to forestall further inquiries at tho homes of various artists with whom it might be supposed that I had staid the night. Dazed, I crossed th* threshold of the death chamber and looked sorrowfully ou that truest friend whose voice I should hear no more. - I realized the criminality of my Want) pf; confidence, my silence, my secregv-. Aye, but repentance was useless-, the, past is irrevocable. An, hour- late? I sallied out into the stf-ectSjforj a little while and sent a ^^ijggm, to Margaret informing her -j-^ gvtarded terms of what had happened find of my necessary absences till | should have executed the last due rites. "•To tho funeral sneceeded the opening and reading of the will, a matter which, had but little occupied my careless thoughts. Could I believe my ears? Yet there was no possible doubt. His 'dear nephew' was his sole- legatee on condition that he should many in the space of two years, during which time the customary charitable subscriptions and my quarterly subvention were to be. paid. Otherwise the property was. to pass ?n certain proportions tq these chai> "Sties, and his 'dear nephe\v'- was. to look- to his art for. a livelihood., I sotujhft privacy, with what haste I could aad tried, to think it all over. Why this total change in my uncle's views? Had he repented of- his wonted; fear, and ha-- trod of women? Had W exaggerated- echoes of his sentiments displeased him, as masters are. went to be displeased with too, apt disciples? On the other hand, sure that I was a confirmed celibate, did he wish by an unacceptable^ Impossible condition to drive me front amateurism to strenuous achievement in my art? Well, facts were facts, and hypotheses were only hypotheses. I walked hastily homeward to Margaret* thinking the while how I should break the news. Greeted with an anxious inquiry as to my paleness, I stammered out the tidings in coherent fashion. She, too, grew pale, and a long silence followed. I could not read the meaning of her face, for her eyes were averted. I waited for her to speak, but in vain. At last she walked away to the window and turned her back to me. Gently I raised her hand to kiss, but she drew it away as though she were stung and fronted me with flashing eyes and quivering lips. " 'So this is what you have brought mo to,' she cried, trembling with passion and anger. 'I trusted yon, and this is tho reward cf my confidence.' "And reproach followed reproach. I am not sure that she did not even charge me with knowing my uncle's intentions from the first* though how such knowledge .and deceit were compatible with my actions and the present situation were quite beyond my comprehen- gien. But, then,, it was passion and not logic that dictated her words. However, I looked upon myself as a justly arraigned culprit and bowed my head to the storm, hoping against hope for a revulsion in her feelings, for tears and imploring hands. But when she had made an end she stood calm, self possessed, scornful. I made a last effort. I was eloquent, for my heart was full of pride and pity and hope. I declared myself ready to forego fortune; I should work at mv art till I won success. She should be my nurse, my comforter. But she only tossed hen head and aieered, 'Love in a cottage, I know what that means.' My love then turned to bitterness, for then I knew that when women sneer at romance theyforsake their very womanliness, they harden their hearts. She marked the change and pointed to the door. ' ■'■ 'Not a word, sir. Go. Let me see you no more. Go your way and I will go mine. My friends will protect me from you.' "I found myself in ihe street, crushed, dazed, stupid with conflicting emotions. Was this the woman I had loved so dearly—this the Margaret for whom I was ready, if needs be, to embrace poverty? Poverty 1 The man who is poor has no friends; on friendship let no man count when fortune is adverse. And the love that is stronger than death * * * was evidently unable to face poverty. Margaret's love! Clearly she had none or she would not have reproached me, abandoned me at the very first trial. I shook myself together, promised myself to forget her. She was not worthy of remembrance; she was merely an adventuress, a bad woman. "A year went by devoid of incident, occupied with fitful exertion. Unliappy, only too often absenlminded—that ia to say, haunted—I yet made good progress in my art. Besides time and work there were two other remedies for love madness, I kept telling myself. But I found that absence did but aggravate the malady. That which is absent grows vague,'- and that which is vague has the charm of mystery. Absence idealized Margaret, absence endeared her once more to mc. I began to seek excuses for her conduct, became anxious to pardon, to convert blame into pity and from. ( pity pass to love. The sole other remedy was scorn—doubtless the strongest remedy of all. I scorned her truly, but intermittently. Too often my scorn sought means for abdication. And thus it canjo about that I began in my weakness to yearn for news from her. But how could I forgive her? At last I determined to hear news of her, if not from :=her. I should least commit myself by such a course of action. She had de- Continued on last page.

Companies in receivership
One of Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler's primary responsibilities as regulator of Washington's $20 billion insurance industry is to ensure that insurers maintain fiscal accountability.
When an insurer fails to meet minimum standards for fiscal stability, we are required by state law to petition for a court order placing the company in receivership under our control. We assume control of Washington-based insurers under orders issued in Thurston County Superior Court.
Washington state companies currently in receivership
- Cascade National Insurance Co., of Bellevue
- Great Republic Life Insurance Company - Receivership closed December 2012.
National information about companies in receivership
The Global Receivership Information Database (GRID) (www.naic.org) provides information on active and historical receiverships.

Caps' Backstrom returns to ice with team
Friday - 1/11/2013, 3:47pm  ET
By: Ben Raby, WTOP.com
ARLINGTON, Va. - Two days after seeing a medical specialist in Michigan, Nicklas Backstrom took part in an informal skate with 14 teammates Friday at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex and said afterwards that he expects to play when the NHL season begins next weekend.
Backstrom was injured Dec. 26 while playing for Dynamo Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League with initial reports from Russia suggesting that Backstrom suffered a neck injury. There were also rumblings that the Caps' No. 1 center may have suffered his second concussion in less than a year.
The 25-year-old Swede missed 40 games with a concussion last season but Backstrom was relieved to learn this week that this was not another head injury.
"I feel good," Backstrom said after a 75-minute workout.
"I'm one hundred percent. I know [there is] a lot of speculation about what's going on and stuff, but it's something I wanted to check out. So, I went to Michigan and I got it checked out ... No concussion, so we can all be calm," he said.
Backstrom was confident that this was not another concussion. "The hit wasn't as bad as the one last year," he said. But, he decided to see renowned specialist Dr. Jeff Kutcher at the University of Michigan as a precaution.
"I think everyone in the league is going to be more serious about those things because it's your head," he explained. "You only have one head. You can't really do anything about it. You've got to make sure it's a hundred percent so you can perform out there."
Washington won 18 of 40 games without Backstrom in the lineup last season while the power play went 15 for 102 (14.7 percent) in his absence compared to 26 for 143 (18.2 percent) when was in the lineup.
Of the 26 power play goals the Capitals scored with Backstrom in the lineup last season, he had a point on 73 percent of them (three goals and 16 assists).
"That's something you don't want to go through, to be away for 40 games. You don't want to do that. Hopefully that's something I only do once in my career. I'm only looking forward and being positive about everything now."
"It's huge," teammate Roman Hamrlik said of Backstrom's return to the ice.
"He's one of the best players on the team and we need him desperately. It's a big thing to have him," Hamrlik said.
Backstrom enjoyed a solid stint in the KHL before the Dec. 26 injury, with his 10 goals and 25 points in 19 games both ranking second on Dynamo Moscow behind only Alex Ovechkin.
Washington's 2006 first-round pick is anxious though to turn the page and begin working fulltime with first year head coach Adam Oates, a former play-making No. 1 center himself.
"It's great that you can ask him questions and he can give you feedback. That's what we need. I think all of the players need a little bit of feedback so that we can help each other.
He's a smart guy. He was a unique player and a skilled guy, so I'm looking forward to playing [for] him. It's very fortunate for us to have him here as a coach," Backstrom said.
Backstrom and Hamrlik were joined on the ice Friday by forwards Troy Brouwer, Jason Chimera, Joey Crabb, Matt Hendricks, Marcus Johansson, Mathieu Perreault, Mike Ribeiro and Joel Ward, defensemen Jack Hillen, Tom Poti, Cam Schilling, Jeff Schultz and goalie Braden Holtby.
Forward Brooks Laich skated individually for about 45 minutes Friday morning ahead of his teammates.

Could be done similar to the Ruthless Roundtable thing Regal did with Zeke & Kozlov, but used to actually propel Mason & Drew into a serious heel role and be dominant tag team champions for a good 6 months or so.

Like the charismatic Pied Piper, DJ Dominic Pacifico makes all the guys hop to a driving disco beat. Spencer Reed wants to thank the music meister personally so he pays homage to the man, sucking, kissing and deepthroating his meaty baton. Dominic cranks the music up higher drawing Alexsander into the mix and Spencer now has two big cocks to suck. As if programmed, the talented DJ shows his multi-tasking skills as he rims Alex's ass while guzzling Spencer's pole. Then he bends over to get screwed at both ends, sucking Spencer's dick while Alex fucks him from behind. Spencer and Alex switch places as Dominic relishes being the middle of this 3-man fuck sandwich. The studs rock it out until they each shoot their big loads one after the other.

St. Thomas Aquinas is a Model for the New Evangelization
Whoever wishes to live perfectly should do nothing but disdain what Christ disdained on the cross and desire what he desired, for the cross exemplifies every virtue
St. Thomas knew that all truth finds its source - and its fulfillment - in the One who is Truth Incarnate, Jesus the Christ. In this way, he was a pioneer of a New Evangelization of his own second millennium and a model for our efforts to do the same in the Third.
His story should inspire each of us to find - and then to live - our own specific vocation, in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world. We should also expect that such a task will not be easy. Jesus never promised easy. It will take saints. God is in the business of making saints. All he asks of us is our willing ness to say yes to his invitations and then to persevere in our specific vocation.
Thomas Aquinas is an example of that pattern of life.He lived his life in the Lord by living it in the heart of His Church.
Born of a wealthy family and educated with the finest the Benedictines had to offer, Thomas was seemingly set on a "career path' of sorts with a foregone concusion. All, including his family, recognized his extraordinary intellectual gifts.
So, when this young man with so much promise decided to take up with mendicants, the Latin word means beggars, those Dominicans who lived on the resources of gifts given by others, he was not greeted with the support of his family.
In fact, they actually kidnapped their son away from this new band of friars who were so suspect among the established Catholics of their age. After a year of trying to dissuade him, they were no match for the young mans resolve to follow the voice of the Lord and pursue his vocation to the Dominican life.
He studied in Paris and Cologne under St. Albert the Great, a philosopher of great reputation. The entirety of Europe was caught up in a major time of intellectual ferment and change. The writings of the ancient Greek Philosopher Aristotle had been reintroduced to contemporary Western thought by,, of all sources, the intellectual community of the Islamic world.
Already suspect in most circles - and accused of being "Anti-Christian" - the re-presentation of Aristotle by the Muslim intellectuals made this body of philosophical work even more of a threat to many within the Catholic Church in Thomas' day.
As he had done in choosing the way of the Dominicans, when so many thought he was to walk a different road, Thomas rejected the contemporary suspicions surrounding the allegedly contradictory nature of Aristotelian thought and orthodox Christianity. Instead he pursued it with all of his natural and supernatural gifts.
He did so because he loved, above all and everyone else, the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He loved him so much that he had a deep and intimate relationship with him. Thomas became such a great theologian because he prayed. One of the early monks of the Church, Evagrius of pontus, once wrote, "A theologian is one who prays and one who prays is a theologian."
Thomas knew that all truth finds its source - and its fulfillment - in the One who is Truth Incarnate, Jesus the Christ. In this way, he was a pioneer of a New Evangelization of his own second millennium and a model for our efforts to do the same in the Third. He was not afraid.
Thomas set about re-presenting the fullness of the Truth which is found within the Catholic faith right within the framework of Aristotelian philosophy. In other words, he used a philosophical framework from his own age to present the eternal truths of the ancient but ever new Catholic faith. That is our task as well as we embark upon what is a new missionary age for the Church!
Using his formidable intellect, sincere and profound faith and solid grounding in the Patristic sources, Thomas produced a body of work which is still the theological and philosophical equivalent of the "gold standard" in the West. His 'Summa Theologiae' became the primary theological textbook for seminarians, theologians and ordinands for centuries.
However, Thomas produced more than theology. His poetry and prose inspired some of the greatest liturgical music and piety in the Latin Rite. His holiness has been - and continues to be - the source of countless religious and lay vocations.Holiness is a fruit of an intimate and sustained relationship with the Lord.
What is needed in our own age are men and women who can, as did Thomas, take the thought of this, the Third Millennium, and use it as the framework for the essential task of building an apologetic for the New Evangelization of this age. These men and women, like Thomas, will live their lives in communion with the Lord because they pray.
On this Feast of the Great St. Thomas Aquinas, let us reflect on these words which he wrote:
"Whoever wishes to live perfectly should do nothing but disdain what Christ disdained on the cross and desire what he desired, for the cross exemplifies every virtue."
"If you seek the example of love: Greater love than this no man has, than to lay down his life for his friends. Such a man was Christ on the cross. And if he gave his life for us, then it should not be difficult to bear whatever hardships arise for his sake."
"If you seek patience, you will find no better example than the cross".
"Great patience occurs in two ways: either when one patiently suffers much, or when one suffers things which one is able to avoid and yet does not avoid. Christ endured much on the cross, and did so patiently, because when he suffered he did not threaten; he was led like a sheep to the slaughter and he did not open his mouth."
"Therefore Christ's patience on the cross was great. In patience let us run for the prize set before us, looking upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith who, for the joy set before him, bore his cross and despised the shame."
"If you seek an example of humility, look upon the crucified one, for God wished to be judged by Pontius Pilate and to die.If you seek an example of obedience, follow him who became obedient to the Father even unto death. For just as by the disobedience of one man, namely, Adam, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man, many were made righteous."
"If you seek an example of despising earthly things, follow him who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.Upon the cross he was stripped, mocked, spat upon, struck, crowned with thorns, and given only vinegar and gall to drink".
"Do not be attached, therefore, to clothing and riches, because they divided my garments among themselves. Nor to honours, for he experienced harsh words and scourgings. Nor to greatness of rank, for weaving a crown of thorns they placed it on my head. Nor to anything delightful, for in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink."

"St. Thomas knew that all truth finds its source - and its fulfillment - in the One who is Truth Incarnate, Jesus the Christ. In this way, he was a pioneer of a New Evangelization of his own second millennium and a model for our efforts to do the same in the Third."
I apologize for my intrusion right now but I think there seems to be lacking with St.. Thomas Aquinas' philosophies regarding sainthood and sanctity.
Of course, Our Lord Jesus Christ is apparently invisible and His presence is impossible to be perceived. I think, St. Thomas should have stated the importance of the Sacred Scriptures as the concrete advocates in introducing Our Lord God in the present age.
Talking about Him (God) may not be enough since man may not be enough to talk about everything that God proclaimed and achieved in His whole lifetime - God, The Father, in the Old Testament and God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit, in the New Testament.
I think, the Bible should not be forgotten in terms of the introduction of the meaning of God in the present age since, for sure, listeners or readers will find it impossible to understand the meaning and essence of God without the providence of the Scriptures save miracles and wonders of God, directly from God.
St. Thomas' works are surely great but his humanities limit the limitations of human capacity of grasping the messages of/from God since all the important Word(s) from God may be grasped only in the Bible, and not from anybody alone.
God's "DIRECT" messages came from the Bible and not just from human tongues. And these messages, I think, are the most substantial, the most significant and the happiest experiences humans may have in their entire lives.
If St. Thomas Aquinas is still alive. I think, he will surely put the importance of the Bible in the world of theologies, humanities and philosophies for everything came form the Bible.
No one could disregard the Word of God save God Himself.

On behalf of all who are blessed by your many articles here on COL and your love of our Lord and his Church we hope many of us will accept your invitation to sainthood.
We can agree that this life of ours is but for a season and how we live and share it with others is of eternal consequence for the body and soul which envelops it. This is why it is so important that as parents we honor our obligation to instill deeply within the hearts and minds of our children those very first two rules of the catechism to know and to love God. Children without a true understanding of their heavenly father and why they were created and given life have little hope to perform the third rule of Christian life, to serve Him. Hopefully we can see to it our little children develop the perspective that life here is like a playground where we sinners can train ourselves to become saints. The games or activities designed for us require only active loving participation and service at all times and a willingness to assist anyone needing help achieving the goals our heavenly Father has for us.
As grown ups we become so entrenched in our often drab day to day existence by the requirements of producing and providing that we forget that we too are children, God's children. We look at our little children playing and think of how worry free they are since we have taken on all their cares for them. We forget that "Our Father" through the Holy Spirit has lovingly provided our Lord Jesus who invites us to place our cares and worries upon him so that we too enjoy freedom to become children of God, His saints. It has been said that a saint is someone who deep within his heart believes God loves him and offers him eternal life through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection and desires to use their life to witness, inform and assure others of the same truth about themselves. It's that simple.
So, who are the saints? They are people like you and me who believe and hope in their Creator and begin their heaven here on earth living Christ's prayerful request by helping build "thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven". We all have an invitation to sainthood and can respond according to our own abilities, gifts, and station in life willingly in the name of Jesus who relieves our burdens and has freed our spirits to be among the saints. Hopefully many of us will be among that great number which no man could count spoken of in Revelations which will eternally be the "communion of saints".
Father God, we pray that we can rejoice fully in the world as children of light and holiness so men can witness and know the truth of your merciful love and accept Jesus as their "personal" savior through and within the eternal "One body of Christ".
Jesus has shown us how to suffer for the sake of our Father and his people. As redeemed Christians we are by choice now a family of suffering souls who can rise above pain, rejection, abuse, or ridicule and not wonder why or seek answers for its presence in our lives. We know because our brother, the crucified, has set the tone of our transformation by and through His glorious cross.
All Christians, through original sin, are justly tied to the cross with Jesus and should welcome a personal measure of suffering that we might share in His resurrection. To deny or avoid that cross or that measure would be to deny Christ. Accept and cherish our Holy Cross for it is truly God's gift of eternal life for us; our shared symbol of love for Truth.
Lord Jesus, though we have chosen to follow in your footsteps to the cross of our salvation, our human weaknesses often tempt us to recoil at the thought or sight of suffering. We pray your infinite mercy will help us to remember always the celestial love of the Father and His willingness to suffer through and with you on the cross for us knowing that we are truly fortunate for any opportunity to share and offer our portion with you that we may one day share eternity with Him.

So when I asked the plumber (who is here right now) specifically about the reduced flow rate with CPVC, he said yes, it's less, but not so much that it would be noticeable. It's his assertion that it's the design of the showerhead, itself, even with the flow restrictor removed, that is responsible for the reduced pressure. And now I'm beginning to think that I don't really understand the distinction between reduced pressure and reduced water flow insofar as my experience with the shower is concerned. That is, I don't really know if it's that I'm feeling less water or less water pressure than I felt with the old showerhead and the old pipes.
I also don't want to sound like I'm telling the plumber how to do his job, but hey, I'm paying for it and I want it done right.

Diner Reviews
We were engaged here and returned
after many years to celebrate or anniversary. We should come back more often and intend to do so."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Service was a little slow, but
worth the wait. Steak was every bit as good as the Precinct; which is the standard all must rise to. We will be back!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
The steaks were perfection but the
side dishes were just okay. The service was spot on and you can't find a better view of the city. It's so dark, though. We couldn't see how the steaks were cooked (luckily they were perfect). We had to use the light from a cell phone to sign the bill. Great value for the money."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Go for the view of Cincy and
Kentucky. staff is undertrained. Menu is a throwback to the 1950's. Food is okay. Drinks are weak pours. Do not go if you do not have a window table."
Dined on 3/6/2014
It was my husbands first time at
the Celestrial Steakhouse. He was so happy with the whole experience. He said that now we have a spot for all special occasions. I knew he would love it. I have never had a bad experience while dining there. The service was exceptional!!! I am so happy that I decided to take him there for his birthday. I wanted a birthday he would never forget and that's what I got!!"
Dined on 3/5/2014
While the staff were outstanding
and the service very good the restaurant needs new carpet and a good old fashioned cleaning. The food was better than average, although my steak was poorly cooked and had an odd taste. Other than that I thought it was an enjoyable evening with a great view of the city, a friendly efficient staff and a fine evening."
Dined on 3/4/2014
Victor gave us excellent service
on our most recent visit. We were celebrating a special birthday for a family member. Food was outstanding as usual. Love to have an after dinner drink in the bar and dance away a little of the fabulous dessert!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
Dining at The Celestial will help
make your night great. Food was great, wine list has a wonderful selection and the service was fantastic. Only downfall we encountered was our request for a table with a view was not entirely met, we were hoping for a window table ."

Excellant food - the filet mignon
was cooked to perfection. Had booked reservation in advance and had hoped for a window table, next time will be sure to request one on check in."

Wife and I went for her birthday,
Highly Recommend it for anyone. Servers did an awesome job. Very quiet, very romantic setting. AND THE FOOD....Delicious. My wife had the steak and it was amazing!"
Dined on 2/20/2014
Great place to sit and have a
quiet dinner, excellent service and location is perfect. Love Mt. Adams and this is definitely a great place to have a Romantic Dinner. Dave"
Dined on 2/21/2014
We enjoyed a romantic dinner with
a great view at Celestial. Here's the positive.. We were attended to appropriately and never felt rushed. The appetizers were delicious. We had crab cakes and lobster bisque. Dessert was delicious as well. Creme brûlée and the chocolate cake were both made just the way we love. My side item of mashed sweet potatoes were full of creamy flavor. ....The not so positives....both of our filets were overcooked. I ordered med that was more like med well and my husband ordered medium well that was very well done covered in char. One thing that the restaurant could not help was the volume of the conversation the men next to us carried out in their conversation completely about the stock market and politics."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Food not good. Waiter goty order
incorrect and I ended up paying double for my entree and lobster was watery. I will not be Hoing back."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Food was good but better was
expected for the price. Fish dish not average. Steak was good but undercooked (I ordered medium, and it came rare). Very nice lounge but service in the lounge was sporadic. Menu selection on the weekend was limited to 3 choices for the entrre."
Dined on 2/15/2014
We were there after Cincinnati
received a record snowfall on St. Valentine's Day, which caused a 50% no-show for that special dinner. Our menu was the St. Valentine's prix fixe so I do not know what their normal menu looks like. The wine cellar has a wide selection and the food was prepared to perfection."
Dined on 2/15/2014
I booked the reservation for The
Celestial more than a month in advance knowing that Valentine's Day is a busy time for restaurants. The view was spectacular and the wait staff was very accommodating. The steak was very well prepared and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was not so good. The menu was limited since it was Valentine's Day and I recognize that was not The Celestial's fault. Most restaurants have a limited menu on holidays. However, the appetizers were warm (Oysters Rockefeller) and so were the desserts (Cheesecake). The chairs were very uncomfortable and were a little under-upholstered. The price of the banquet-style meal was $170 with tip. It was worth $70."
Dined on 2/14/2014
It was good, but not great. The
price is high for the quality and experience. Reinforcing this was we were surprised to find a fixed price menu. Further, the 3 course steak dinner (which was good) was the same price as the chicken, which doesn't make sense. Not on the menu was their lobster bisque which has a strong reputation. All in all, there are too many other great Cincinnati restaurants for this price point. Sorry to say we won't be back unless there is a real need for the view."
Dined on 2/15/2014
First time at Celestial and I have
seen some of the bad reviews, but me and my wife decided to give Celestial a chance anyway. Everything was perfect!! We didn't have to wait long to be seated, our server was great, the 3 course meal was excellent!! I have had steak at a number of high rated resturants and the steak was outstanding (I'm very picky about steak). Me and my wife will be returning to Celestial soon."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The menu selection was very slim.
For someone that is allergic to seafood, they didn't leave hardly any options for their first course. Very expensive for such a small menu."
Dined on 2/15/2014
We came on Valentine's Day, were
seated right as we arrived for our reservation. Timing of switching of courses was perfect. Our food was cooked and presented very well. Quite pricey, but we'll be back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Thought the famous view lived up
to its reputation. The food was very good was disappointed on the menu being limited to set menu.I know it was valentines day... but you would think a place with prestige such as the Celestial wouldnt have had such restrictions. Fortunately, I was there for steak. I thought the strip was excellent. The fat melted right into the meat... pretty much no chewing necessary.. what I loved, was the bar area... the setup, the band and the overall experience of the bar was the best in cincy. Really glad we got that nightcap."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The restaurant is located on the
hill in Mt Adams overlooking the entire river front and downtown Cincinnati. Great views and a quiet dining environment makes for some awesome family times. The food was cooked and served to perfection, some menu items where already sold out and it was only 7:15 at night. The dining area itself was in dire need of some deep cleaning and the carpeting on the floor was looking like it was destroyed 5 years ago. The hanging chandeliers showed signs of neglect as well with years of dust and blown bulbs. Although excellent food, the restaurant is in need of some major renovations so do not take business clients there to impress or a first date unless you can blind fold her until you get to your table."
Dined on 2/13/2014
I made reservations online through
Opentable . My wife and I don't get out as much as we would like so every outing we try to make as special as possible. When making reservations online for the Celestial their was a spot for special request. I asked for a table as private as possible. When we got to the restaurant 7:15 pm they maybe had 3 tables seated and we would have been the 4th table. So we felt we would get the pick of tables. We didn't ! We were seated on the window right in the middle of the restaurant! Wasn't even close to private. I guess my issue is why ask special requests if you don't honor them? If it was a busy night I would understand that maybe we wouldn't get the choice of tables. It wasn't!"
Dined on 2/10/2014
Everything about the Celestial
from the beginning with the doorman/valet to the greeter to the wait staff was amazing. The food was absolutely unbelievable. It was very refreshing to finally be in a nice restaurant where the noise level was very calm and relaxing where you could actually engage in nice quiet conversation with your spouse and enjoy the evening."
Dined on 2/1/2014
The soup was tepid, the meat
underdone and over salted, the hot dessert was barely warm, and the chocolate dessert was boring."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Delicious steaks, lobster bisque
to die for, wonderful desserts and spectacular view! We were a group of 12 so from our space we didn't have as great a view as smaller parties did but the room accommodating us was very spacious. The room was quite overheated and we were uncomfortable until that could be addressed, to their credit, it had been biting cold and then was suddenly 64 degrees so......service was a bit slow although in the end we felt this forced us not to rush through the meal and allowed resting between courses and lots of chat time"
Dined on 2/1/2014
We have dined here multiple times
but this was the most disappointing. The overall appearance of the restaurant looks tired & worn. We were seated in the 2nd dining area which seemed like sitting in a narrow hallway where no two people could pass one another. It was a very warm area; our server had perspiration dripping off his face. It was also difficult to hear each other when the bar music began. Our food was not the caliber that we have enjoyed in the past. The Brussel sprouts were mushy despite my request they not be. It's time for the owner to put some much needed improvements; he seems to rely on the outstanding view to carry on the ratings."
Dined on 1/31/2014
We had an outstanding meal. The
service was wonderful and all the staff were very friendly. Our server John was very good and took the time to talk to us. The food was very good and the view from our table was perfect! Very good time at an excellent restaurant. We will be back."
Dined on 1/27/2014
I was disappointed in the food.
Fish was heavily salted which was a problem for my mother. Shrimp and grits were bland with only roasted apples as a side. The view was great, especially since I was entertaining out of towners."
Dined on 1/23/2014
Food was very good; service
outstanding; and the view breathtaking!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
The view was outstanding and the
service was amazing. My biggest complaint however was the quality of the food. For a 4 Star/Diamond restaurant that describes itself as a steakhouse and to have 2 of two steaks ordered not arrive at the proper temperature was kind of a let down to say the least. I also ordered lobster bisque while my wife ordered a ceasar salad. The bisque tasted great but I failed to find any chunks of lobster meat in the bisque. I realize when most people think of steakhouses in Cincinnati they think of any of the Rubys restaurants and for good reason. The view and the service are great but the food quality has a little catching up to do to meet the standard of Jeff Rubys."
Dined on 1/25/2014
We had a very good meal at the
Celestial Steakhouse. The view is wonderful and our service was quite good. The decor is a bit "old school," and the menu also seems to need a little updating. Overall, our food was prepared well, the wine was good and we had a very nice experience. We would return and recommend it to friends and family."
Dined on 1/23/2014
We had not been to Celestial in
many years. A special occasion came up and we decided to give it a try. Ten dads and daughters were seated at a round table set off a little from the main area. The view was beautiful and the noise level quieter, perfect for everyone at the table to hear the conversation. Service was right on the mark. Everyone ordered differently and was very happy with the presentation and taste. The only very small complaint was that one steak was not quite as hot as preferred. We've already reserved for another special occasion in the family. NICE JOB!"
Dined on 1/24/2014
We could not have asked for a
better atmosphere . The service was excellent . We was a little disappointed when our filet mignon was served . My husband ordered his medium well I ordered mine well but not over done . When they was served his was well and mine was so well done it was crunchy. To say the least we was disappointed . We did not complain . It was our wedding anniversary and we didnt want to put a damper on our evening ."
Dined on 1/19/2014
Had read some of the earlier
somewhat mixed reviews, so was a little apprehensive. Noted on my reserv. request that this was a family (8 people) get together for a major anniversary. The secret may have also been that it was rather late on a week night, but we got a small private room, with a great city view. Then we were serviced by an excellent staff and received excellent steaks, etc., all cooked as requested. They threw in a free dessert for the event. We couldn't have asked for more, and will return (once we save enough pennies)."

Went to The Celestial for our sons
birthday, as a party of 7. Food was outstanding, service was good. The restaurant's description stated outstanding views overlooking the city, however we did not even come close to seeing a view. We had to ask for a cocktail and wine list. I felt the entire experience was very cold. A gratuity of 20% was added directly to our bill, which was never mentioned. This is the first time we have had 20% added and not 18%. Personality of the restaurant was lackluster. Though the food was excellent, there is something missing here and for a near $700 tab, we will not be in a hurry to revisit."

This was the perfect choice for a
date night sans kiddo. The food was outstanding!"
Dined on 1/4/2014
We got to the restaurant and they
were trying to accommodate our request for a view so we had a bit of a wait. Turns out we were pushed against a pillar with tables in front of the windows...my husband wasn't even facing the view. Then, they had a set menu. Nothing we were planning on ordering was on it and there was no mention of it online. I get that it was NYE and so they wanted to be "fancy," but they should warn people. We ended up with a mediocre meal with mediocre service. She was great when attending to us, but then would disappear and leave us with no refills or next courses for 15-20 minutes at a time, and it wasn't that busy. I'd say, if you want to spend a lot of money and get an actually really good meal--just go to Ruby's."

The maître d' and hostess were
very aloof. I had made reservations with OpenTable and they lost them. We had a limousine we had four people and they had no reservations. When they realized I was a little disgruntled they said they would get us a table and finally got one in a room that had no view looked up At a mirror only. And the table was set for eight people and there was only four of us. I went out and said that was unacceptable that I had written requested a window view for our out-of-town guests. We finally got one in the service was poor. The food was served Very slowly and the server could have cared less. If you were going to keep them on OpenTable make sure it is not for special occasions or Celebration evenings"

A frequent visitor to Celestial,
it is convenient neighborhood late night dining at the bar with the best view. Steak on Prix Fixe menu was fine but server was incredulous when asked for any substitution to mashed potatoes. Doubling the vegetable order included an extra spear. The most fun / pain of new years came from ordering from outdated wine list. Six request later I gave up the joke. I requested any Napa or Sonoma CabSauv from 2007 or 2009 under $100 and the server came back with bottle > $100. Server imposed gratuity of 20% on the food and alcohol; neither was reported by web, menu, server. Celestial never seems ready for Prime Time... next review I'll tell you about the time strip was served after ordereing Rib Eye."

What software do you need to know to get started in UX?
I've been asked a few times recently about my opinion on what software people should know if they want to do UX so I thought I'd share my thoughts here. Of course, the first answer is – it depends.
It depends on what *kind* of a UXer you want to be (there are many types – some are more design-y or research-ish, some some are closer to the business or the interface) and what kind of place you want to work for (there are many options there too).
The tools you use affect the work that you output, so I think you should be thoughtful about the toolkit you decide to use.
To begin with, I would say that no software will ever replace the advantages provided by a willingness and ability to sketch.
If you are not confident with sketching you will start designing into software and this is not something you want to do.
The minute you start designing into software you limit the number of options you explore, you move more quickly to high fidelity and are more likely to become attached to your own design. You sit by yourself at a desk instead of collaborating with your team.
Before you learn any software, get comfortable sketching in company.
Another important thing to understand is that most of the time, the tools we use are substitutes and shortcuts for the actual raw material for which we design.
Don't think that because you have ninja skills in Axure, you don't need to understand how HTML, CSS and JavaScript work or how a database is designed or how some importnt content management systems work. You don't need to have advanced development skills but it is more important to me that you understand and have some hands on experience of the how the technology behind faceted navigation works, and what the challenges and restrictions and opportunities are, than being able to fake it in Axure. (I'm picking on Axure, I know.)
The last thing I would say before I give you the list you're really here for, is that it is less important which software you learn now, and more important that it doesn't become your hammer.
(You know the saying – when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail). Every day a new piece of software comes out that might be a great tool for you on the particular project that you're working on. Get comfortable always exploring, evaluating and learning new tools. In fact, I'd go so far as saying, don't even bother trying to be a master of one, be a jack of all software! And be prepared to change your mind.
But, tools you must have. Here's my thoughts what you might find useful.
UX Design
- A 'diagramming' tool for basic wire framing, sitemapping, content/data modelling and flow charting. Common choices are
Omnigraffle (for Mac) orVisio (for PC). There are also a swathe of online (SAAS) alternatives includingBalsamiq ,Mockflow ,Mockingbird ,Hotgloo ,Pencil ,Pidoco and the list goes on (there's a nice list with summaries here ) - A tool for making higher fidelity (prettier) wireframes/prototypes. Common choices include
Fireworks ,InDesign ,Photoshop .Keynote (Mac) orPowerpoint (PC) are also increasingly popular with good reason I think – they're easy to use, flexible and increasingly powerful little apps. - A tool for making interactive prototypes. This used to be optional, it's not anymore. Common choices are:
Personally, I've moved away from Omnigraffle and towards Fireworks in the past 12 months or so for various reasons, but there are no perfect UX tools. I've seen people
Some companies will only hire people who have skills in specific software, eg. Axure. This is idiotic as software is easy to learn, being a good UX designer is the hard part.
UX Research:
Good UX Designers will also read this section – there's not a clear break and more and more designers should be integrating these tools into their daily practice.
If you're doing UX Research then having some good Excel skills will come in handy for analysis. You might alway want to get handy with SPSS (although, again, this will be overkill for some). I've found having some good mind mapping software to be handing for research analysis as well.
Important note: the best analysis, in my opinion, happens doing affinity sorting using post it notes on a wall – this is research's equivalent to sketching.
You'll also need some software to record the user research you do in person. The obvious contenders are
The tools I find most interesting for UX research tend to be newer web services such as:
- Online remote usability testing:
Usertesting.com /Whatusersdo.com etc. - Other online research tools such
VerifyApp and the other tools from the team at Zurb, andOptimalWorkshop 's great range of online usability testing tools. - Online analysis tools such as
Reframer - Remote moderated research tools (mostly screensharing/online meeting tools) such as GoToMeeting or Webex
- Apps that can be used for longitudinal contextual studies such as
Yammer ,Twitter ,Facebook ,DScout - Online recruitment tools such as
Ethn.io - Optimization and other measurement tools such as
Google Optimizer
This is by no means a definitive list – there are lots more great tools out there that I've no doubt neglected to mention. Feel free to add your favourites in the comments below.
Just remember – it's not the tool you use (although they will no doubt leave their imprint), it's the way that you use it that really matters.
