Flooded Paterson library hopes book drive will put city kids on path to literacy
Cascading floodwaters from Hurricane Irene claimed one of the most cherished institutions on Paterson's impoverished Northside, the stately two-story branch library on North Main Street and all of its 10,000 books.
Have new or gently-used books you're not using? Donate them to Paterson children at these drop-off locations.
The building is wrecked, but as the city's library system readies a smaller replacement, it is teaming up with The Record and Herald News and the libraries of Ridgewood and Fair Lawn on something more — a book drive that aims to give as many Paterson children as possible a book to take home. For many of them, it will be the first book they have ever owned.
"We feel these kids are entitled to a nice gift," said Cynthia Czesak, director of the Paterson Free Public Library. But there's more to the effort than that. Having books at home promotes a habit of reading that leads to better learning.
The books will be collected during regular business hours at the Ridgewood and Fair Lawn libraries and at the two offices of The Record and the Herald News and three weeklies owned by North Jersey Media Group, which publishes the daily newspapers and operates northjersey.com.
The books will be distributed to children and families in conjunction with the April opening of the new temporary library at the Christopher HOPE Community Center at 60 Temple St., which can accommodate only 3,000 books.
Children love reading stories with their parents, and a home library, no matter how small, helps them form a fondness for reading, said Judy Cheatham, vice president of literacy services for Reading Is Fundamental, the nation's largest children's literacy non-profit group.
Jennifer Oquendo said her 6-year-old son, Isaiah, who has always liked to read, excelled this year in school after she began collecting books for him at home.
The children's titles bought from Walmart or picked up for free at civic events have grown to be a modest home library. Oquendo, who raises Isaiah and two younger daughters by herself while her husband serves time in jail, said the collection grew rapidly after his first-grade teacher at School 29 required students to read nightly and record their progress in a log.
The emphasis on reading at home and in school is borne out by the high marks on Isaiah's report card and how much fun he seems to have reading to his mother on the blue living room carpet.

Born Rosa Dolores Alverio on December 11, 1931, in Humacao, Puerto Rico, Rita Moreno is best known as Anita in West Side Story in 1961, a role that earned her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, making her the first Latina actress to win the honor. Moreno also appeared on the children's shows Sesame Street and The Electric Company, and is one of only 11 people to have received the four major entertainment honors—Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Grammy awards.
Early Life
Born Rosa Dolores Alverio on December 11, 1931, in Humacao, Puerto Rico, Rita Moreno has broken new ground for Latinos in the field of entertainment throughout her career. Moreno began her career in show business at early age. She appeared on Broadway and in her first film role in her early teens, and left school around the same time.
Career Highlights
Moreno is perhaps best known for her work in West Side Story (1961), a modern musical inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. A versatile performer, she had to sing, dance and handle very dramatic scenes during the course of the film. She won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Anita, the tough but vulnerable girlfriend to the Sharks's gang leader—becoming the first Hispanic actress to win a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
After her success with West Side Story, Moreno took on a range of interesting roles on stage and in films. She performed with the likes of Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and James Garner. Her career took another interesting turn in the 1970s, when joined the cast of The Electric Company, a children's television program. She stayed with the program for six seasons and became known for her trademark catchphrase: "Hey, you guys." She and the rest of the cast won a Grammy Award in 1972 for the show's soundtrack.
Only a few years later, Moreno won a Tony Award (best featured actress in a play) for her work in Broadway's The Ritz (1975). Accolades didn't stop there for Moreno. She went on to win two Emmy awards for guest appearances on The Muppet Show (1977) and The Rockford Files (1978). She is one of only 11 people to have received the four major entertainment honors—Emmy, Tony, Oscar and Grammy awards (also known as the EGOT).
Moreno again impressed critics with her turn as a no-nonsense nun on the cable television series Oz from 1997 to 2003. Today, she continues to act in feature films, make guest appearances on television, and sing and perform in theatrical productions.
Personal Life
Once romantically linked to Marlon Brando, Moreno has been married to Leonard Gordon since 1965. The couple has a daughter and lives in Berkeley, California.

John Edwards Corruption Case Officially Dismissed
by Free Britney at .Former U.S. Senator and presidential hopeful John Edwards will not face another trial after the judge in charge of his case dismissed it Wednesday.
On Wednesday, government lawyers asked Judge Catherine Eagles to dismiss their case with prejudice and will not attempt to charge him again.
Two weeks ago, a federal jury found Edwards not guilty on one campaign finance charge, but they couldn't reach a decision on five other counts.
A mistrial was declared on the outstanding charges, meaning the U.S. could have re-tried Edwards, but having failed to win once, they will not.
If nothing else, John Edwards' trial gave him the opportunity to join our celebrity mug shots page. No one can ever take that achievement away from him.
It also dredged up a lot of rather embarrassing Rielle Hunter details.
Still, not guilty is not guilty, and Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement:
"The jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on five of the six counts of the indictment, however, and we must respect their judgment."
"In the interest of justice, we have decided not to retry Mr. Edwards."
Edwards' attorneys responded to the news on Wednesday lauding the decision and reiterating that John's "sins," while sinful, weren't illegal."While John has repeatedly admitted to his sins, he has also consistently asserted, as we demonstrated at the trial, that he did not violate any campaign law nor even imagined that any campaign laws could apply," the statement read.
"We are confident that the outcome of any new trial would have been the same. We are very glad that, after living under this cloud for over three years, John and his family can have their lives back and enjoy the peace they deserve."
Edwards was accused of receiving over a million dollars in donations that he used to shield his mistress Rielle and their love child from the public.
While he definitely tried to cover up his affair, proving the illegality of it - and what money was being spent on it - was an uphill battle for the feds.

"We bought this 2001 5.4L used in 2003 with 23,000 mi on it. At the first oil change interval I put Mobile 1 5W-20 in it. Change every 6-7K intervals. At 30K I changed the tranny filter and fluid to full synthetic Mobil 1 ATF. Change Tranny fluid and filter every 60K. I now have 221,000 mi! I also replace fuel,air, and coolant every 30K. I've only had to replace the altenator at 126,000mi, re-seat 1 spark plug well for 400.00. at 146,000 mi and just now need to replace the upper ball joints. someone said they had to replace several spark plug well seats, but that is usually due to improper torquing of the spark plugs! The one I had to replace is a known design flaw. I also changed spark plugs at 100,000 intervals with Autolite double platinum plugs. I also changed differential oils at 100,000 mi with synthetic Mobile 1 75W-140 gear oil. Need to do again. I have pulled 24ft travel trailers over the mountain passes, pulled a boat over the mountain passes in 2nd gear at 70mph! In other words I don't just putt around! The door lock and window switches need to be taken apart and clean the contacts off once in a while when they quit working. All my electrical and power switches still work with some routine cleaning. It's usually the master switch by the drivers side that needs cleaning. Oh! the front windshield had to be resealed once. The window leaked water into the dash and caused the gauges to freak out at about 90K mi. Once they dried out they worked fine ever since! I also replaced shocks at 160,000 mi with KYB's best, I could not get myself to swing for the Bilstiens. If you think the Expo. handles good, try the KYB's they are even better than stock! I used to get 15-17mpg but now with the 10% ethanol I only get 13-15mpg. Wow really saving the environment! 10% less petroleum but I need 15% more fuel to get where I'm going!"

"For the price these cars are a steal. We have had our car for 8 + years. Had to replace a few spark plug seats which are about $800 a pop. Replaced the intake manifold (which is common when you pass 130k because they are plastic and will crack. Power is sluggish but acceptable. Comfort inside is great. We have 6 kids and they fit fine. Just can't put any other stuff in the car, Not much room in the back. Gas mileage is around 14 to 17 mpg. Power locks in the back doors stop working around the 120k mark."

"I have owned my Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 2001 Cruiser for 4 years and this amazing Ford Built tank fortress is a dream vehicle for taking the road by storm. The heavy frame and tons this thing hauls around does nothing to slow it down. The 5.4 liter monster V8 tears the road apart, It handles mountains like a dream and if it is allowed to go as fast as it can i have hit 120 MPH in this thing!!! crazy right? but there is more. The luxury elements in this SUV are splendid, comfy heated seats perfect for a long drive , super clear sound system with amazing bass for a 2001 vehicle , and a backup sensor for safety and precision parking. Handles all weather such as snow , rain and ice like a champ (3 winters in Spokane WA and this thing has never failed me once) It will get you where you need to go without question. with scheduled oil changes, new tires/brakes when needed and the occasional light replacement maintenance is never an issue with this SUV. So if you're not already scrambling to find one near you i recommend you do so quickly because they sell like hot cakes and very few people get rid of them. What can i say the world's perfect SUV is the wonderful Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer!!!"

I take frequent trips and my vehicle has never broke down during the entire 8 years that I have owned my vehicle. It is a pleasure to drive and it delivers power on demand. It is equipped with a nice factory sound system to help with long drives. My family likes to be able to stretch out while traveling without giving up luggage space. Ford has really excelled with this vehicle."

Mark David Chapman is an American convicted murderer best known for shooting and killing former Beatles member John Lennon. On December 8, 1980, the former security gaurd from Hawaii shot the musician outside his Manhattan apartment. Throughout his trial, much attention was paid to Chapman's psychiatric state and insanity plea. Chapman later overturned with a guilty plea,
"So this is obviously very embarrassing for me now, having committed murder."
"If [Lennon] was less famous than three or four other people on the list, he would not have been shot."
and was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Born in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 10, 1955, Mark David Chapman is considered one of the world's most infamous convicted murderers. On December 8, 1980, Chapman, a longtime fan of the incredibly popular British band the Beatles, shot and killed former Beatles member John Lennon outside of Lennon's apartment in New York City.
Killing John Lennon
In 1980, John Lennon released the album Double Fantasy—his first record release in years—with his wife, Yoko Ono, bringing the ex-Beatle out of seclusion and putting him back in the spotlight. On December 6, 1980, Chapman purchased Double Fantasy at a New York record store. Two days later, with the album in hand, he waited outside the Dakota, Lennon's posh New York apartment building. He watched as Lennon exited the building at approximately 5:50 p.m., on his way to a recording session, and walked toward his limo. A smiling Lennon generously agreed to autograph the album for Chapman while an amateur photographer clicked a photograph. Chapman then, strangely, placed his newly autographed album atop a nearby planter.
Around 10:30 that evening, Lennon returned home in his limo. Chapman was waiting. This time, he was after much more than an autograph. As Lennon and wife Yoko Ono left the car, Chapman raised his gun and fired several shots at the musician, hitting him four times, in the back and the chest. Two of the shots were fatal. Ono, who was standing next to her husband at the time, witnessed the incident. John Lennon was pronounced dead just one hour later, at the nearby Roosevelt Hospital.
When New York City police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Chapman casually thumbing through a copy of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.
The following day, the world grieved for John Lennon. A vigil was held outside of the Dakota, drawing thousands of anguished fans.
Trial and Conviction
During Chapman's trial, much attention was paid to his psychiatric state. His lawyer initially entered a plea of insanity, which Chapman later overturned with a guilty plea. His autographed album was a key piece of evidence in the case. Chapman told the jury that he had been living in Hawaii and working as a security guard when he decided to kill Lennon, "because he was very famous." Chapman was found guilty of murder, sentenced to life imprisonment, and ordered to receive psychiatric treatment.
After more than three decades at the Wende Correctional Facility in New York, in August 2012, Chapman entered his seventh parole hearing. He was denied parole yet again, and ordered to remain at Wende. During the hearing, Chapman told the parole board that he was ashamed of committing murder. "So this is obviously very embarrassing for me now, having committed murder," he said, according to NBC News. He also stated that he had considered killing Johnny Carson or George C. Scott instead of Lennon, but chose the former Beatle star because he was the most famous. "If [Lennon] was less famous than three or four other people on the list, he would not have been shot," Chapman said.

The type of shoe you choose for your walking or running activity may be the single best insurance you can buy to reduce your chance of injury. I find that most people look for two things in a shoe: cushion and style. The problem here is that cushion, while it may feel good initially, does not offer the stability that most people need. A lack of stability in a shoe can cause the majority of weight-bearing injuries to the ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Remember, it is nice to look good while you are exercising, but how can you continue to look good if you are injured?
Where to Buy Your Shoes
I recommend that you buy your exercise shoes from a reputable local running store. Such stores seem to employ more experienced runners/walkers who are excited to share their knowledge with you than do department or warehouse stores. If you do not have a local store, I have had good success with Road Runner Sports; visit them online at www.roadrunnersports.com. The Web site's Shoe Dog (click on "Expert Shoe Help") will help you get into the proper shoe.
What to Bring to the Store
Bring your old running shoes so that store employees can look at the wear pattern, which will help them recommend the proper shoe. They also will be able to tell you whether your shoes are ready to be replaced. If you wear orthotics or insoles, make sure you bring them, as some shoes may be unable to accommodate the extra space needed by these support devices.
Questions the Store Should Ask You
What the Store Should Look For
First, employees at a good store will watch you run down the sidewalk to look at your running gait. This will lead them to certain models that best fit your needs and will also allow them to see which of the ones they have recommended work best. Second, of course, they will also look at the shape, width and size of your foot and the type of arch you have.
Also, check your feet daily for blisters, cuts or sores, and notify your doctor right away if they do not heal. Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program. Some complications of diabetes can be worsened by exercise.

This article is nothing but an advertisement for Road Runner Sports.
There is virtually nothing specific, no names of any shoes, brands, types, etc. Just propaganda for Road Runner Sports.
However, there is some humor in this non-informational article. The part about
"First, employees at a good store will watch you run down the sidewalk to look at your running gait.
WHAT !! Store employees becoming experts in Diabetes !! They are going to what you run down the street !! Spend an hour or so with you !!
Store employees at Sporting Goods Stores are there to sell shows and know very little. That is if you can get some help.
The salaries of the staff at sporting goods stores will make something close to the minimum wage.
Next you will see an article about asking a health store employee to give you advice on your Diabetes.
At least we all know that if we can find a Road Runner Sports, make sure that you hold on tight to your wallet. It will be costing a heck of a lot of money.

Consumers and businesses alike cannot possibly protect themselves from inaccuracies in weighing and measurement. Weights and Measures Week 2014 raises appreciation for the hard work of dedicated and highly trained regulatory officials who are laboring behind the scenes every day to maintain integrity in commerce.
Lincoln, NE (PRWEB) February 25, 2014
Very few Americans understand the effort that goes into assuring them that they get what they pay for with every package of food, tank of fuel, or take a trip in a taxi. How do you know the airlines baggage scale was right when they charged those extra fees? Who makes sure the farmers grain is weighed properly when delivered from the field? The National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) is using Weights and Measures Week 2014 to raise appreciation for the hard work of dedicated and highly trained regulatory officials who are working behind the scenes every day to maintain integrity in commerce.
NCWM Chair John Gaccione, Director of Westchester County, New York Weights and Measures, explains that the buyer beware concept is just not enough for any society to prosper. Consumers cannot possibly protect themselves from inaccuracies in weighing and measurement, explains Gaccione. The same applies to business owners who rely on a level playing field if they are to make an honest profit.
States are responsible for maintaining the integrity of commerce within their borders, but the infrastructure varies from state to state to meet that responsibility. For example, some states pass that authority down to the counties or even cities. Others maintain enforcement at the state level.
Gaccione emphasized the vast scope of his occupation. Specialized equipment and training is necessary for inspecting large and small scales, meters for petroleum, natural gas, cryogenics, asphalt, and fertilizer, testing any sort of packaged commodity for net contents, sampling petroleum products and testing against ASTM standards, and much, much, more.
Even with all of that expense, the return on investment is most impressive. A survey of programs around the country revealed that the average cost per capita is about 70 cents per year. A single inspector can save businesses and consumers millions in that same time frame according to NCWM.
Weights and Measures Week is celebrated on March 1-7 each year to commemorate John Adams signing the first United States weights and measures law on March 2, 1799. Since then, there have been advancements from crude mechanical devices to highly sophisticated, software-based weighing and measuring instruments. Modern day inspectors represent a new generation of highly trained professionals who have earned their place in society, just like their predecessors.
The National Conference on Weights and Measures is a professional nonprofit association of state and local weights and measures officials, federal agencies, manufacturers, retailers and consumers. NCWM has developed national weights and measures standards since 1905. The organization brings the right interests together to keep pace with innovative advancements in the marketplace.

Sharp and stylish
by Bob from Seattle on 02/19/2010.
Trim: 2001 Dodge Stratus Coupe SE, Owned 9 years.
We have had this car for 9 years now, Probably our best care owned. Car looks sharp even with 125,000 miles on it now, we drive it 80 miles or just around the block and it goes without much of a hitch. Overall very good to own, Milage is 22.5 over all.
we have kept up with the maint suggested in the manual and so we have had very little trouble with this car. The usual timing belt and other parts to replace when doing the timing belt.
our instrument panel we have about 2/3 of the lights that still turn on. The driver seat is getting worn out but the power seats work good. Front end was replaced once and that helped. I need to keep up with maint and it should make it to 200,000 without much problems. paint around the bumpers are pealing but overall the paint on metal worked great.
Overall review:
this is a great car for family and for young drivers. Even with a lot of milage if the maint was kept up it should last a long time and not cost a lot if kept up. The car is worth blue book and with good history it should last a long time.

The Secretariat of State is the oldest dicastery in the Roman Curia, the government of the Roman Catholic Church. It is headed by the Cardinal Secretary of State and performs all the political and diplomatic functions of Vatican City and the Holy See. The Secretariat is divided into two sections, the Section for General Affairs and the Section for Relations with States, known as the First Section and Second Section, respectively.[1]
History of the Secretariat of State[edit]
The origins of the Secretariat of State go back to the fifteenth century. The Apostolic Constitution Non Debet Reprehensibile of 31 December 1487 established the Secretaria Apostolica comprising twenty-four Apostolic Secretaries, one of whom bore the title Secretarius Domesticus and held a position of pre-eminence. One can also trace to this Secretaria Apostolica the Chancery of Briefs, the Secretariat of Briefs to Princes and the Secretariat of Latin Letters.
Leo X established another position, the Secretarius Intimus, to assist the Cardinal who had control of the affairs of State and to attend to correspondence in languages other than Latin, chiefly with the Apostolic Nuncios (who at that time were evolving into permanent diplomatic representatives). From these beginnings, the Secretariat of State developed, especially at the time of the Council of Trent.
For a long time, the Secretarius Intimus, also called Secretarius Papae or Secretarius Maior, was almost always a Prelate, often endowed with episcopal rank. It was only at the beginning of the Pontificate of Innocent X that someone already a Cardinal and not a member of the Pope's family was called to this high office. Innocent XII definitively abolished the office of Cardinal Nephew, and the powers of that office were assigned to the Cardinal Secretary of State alone.
On 19 July 1814, Pius VII established the [Sacred Congregation for the Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs], expanding the Congregation Super Negotiis Ecclesiasticis Regni Galliarum established by Pius VI in 1793. With the Apostolic Constitution Sapienti Consilio of 29 June 1908, Saint Pius X divided the Sacred Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs in the form fixed by the Codex Iuris Canonici of 1917 (Can. 263) and he specified the duties of each of the three sections: the first was concerned essentially with extraordinary affairs, while the second attended to the ordinary affairs, and the third, until then an independent body (the Chancery of Apostolic Briefs), had the duty of preparing and dispatching pontifical Briefs.
With the Apostolic Constitution Regimini Ecclesiae Universae[2] of 15 August 1967, Paul VI reformed the Roman Curia, implementing the desire expressed by the Bishops in the Second Vatican Council. This gave a new face to the Secretariat of State, suppressing the Chancery of Apostolic Briefs, formerly the third section, and transforming the former first section, the Sacred Congregation for the Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, into a body distinct from the Secretariat of State, though closely related to it, which was to be known as the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church.
Current structure[edit]
This article is part of a series on the |
Roman Curia |
On 28 June 1988, John Paul II promulgated the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus,[3] which introduced a reform of the Roman Curia and divided the Secretariat of State into two sections: the Section for General Affairs and the Section for Relations with States, which incorporated the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church. This guaranteed both unity of purpose and the specificity required in the service which the Secretariat of State is called to offer the Pope.
The Secretariat of State is presided over by a Cardinal who assumes the title of Secretary of State. As the Pope's first collaborator in the governance of the universal Church, the Cardinal Secretary of State is the one primarily responsible for the diplomatic and political activity of the Holy See, in some circumstances representing the person of the Supreme Pontiff himself.
Section for General Affairs[edit]
The Section for General Affairs handles the normal operations of the Church including organizing the activities of the Roman Curia, making appointments to curial offices, publishing official communications, papal documents, handling the concerns of embassies to the Holy See, and keeping the papal seal and Fisherman's Ring. Abroad, the Section for General Affairs is responsible for organizing the activities of nuncios around the world in their activities concerning the local church.[4]
Substitutes for General Affairs[edit]
The Section for General Affairs is headed by an archbishop known as the Substitute for General Affairs, or more formally, Substitute for General Affairs to the Secretary of State. The current Substitute for General Affairs to the Secretary of State is Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu. There have been 9 substitutes since 1953:
- Nicola Canali (21 March 1908 – 24 September 1914)
- Frederico Tedeschini (24 September 1914 – 31 March 1921)
- Giovanni Battista Montini (13 December 1937 – 17 February 1953) (Later Pope Paul VI)
- Angelo Dell'Acqua (17 February 1953 – 29 June 1967)
- Giovanni Benelli (29 June 1967 – 3 June 1977)
- Giuseppe Caprio (14 June 1977 – 28 April 1979)
- Eduardo Martínez Somalo (5 May 1979 – 23 March 1988)
- Edward Idris Cassidy (23 March 1988 – 12 December 1989)
- Giovanni Battista Re (12 December 1989 – 16 September 2000)
- Leonardo Sandri (16 September 2000 – 1 July 2007)
- Fernando Filoni (1 July 2007 – 10 May 2011)
- Giovanni Angelo Becciu (10 May 2011 – )
Assessor for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State[edit]
The deputy to the Substitute for General Affairs, effectively deputy chief of staff, is called the Assessor for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State. The current Assessor for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State is Monsignor Peter Brian Wells.
- Eduardo Martínez Somalo (1970 – 11 December 1975)
- Giovanni Battista Re (12 January 1979 – 9 October 1987)
- Crescenzio Sepe (10 October 1987 – 2 February 1992)
- Leonardo Sandri (4 February 1992 – 22 July 1997)
- James Michael Harvey (22 July 1997 – 7 February 1998)
- Pedro Lopez Quintana (7 February 1998 – 12 December 2002)
- Gabriele Giordano Caccia (17 December 2002 – 16 July 2009)
- Peter Brian Wells (16 July 2009–present)
Section for Relations with States[edit]
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of the Holy See |
Supreme Pontiff
Secretariat of State
The Congregation for the Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Kingdom of France was set up by Pope Pius VI with the Constitution Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum in 1793 to deal with the problems created for the Church by the French Revolution. In 1814, Pius VII gave this office responsibility for negotiations with all governments, renaming it the Extraordinary Congregation for the Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Catholic World (Latin: Congregatio Extraordinaria Praeposita Negotiis Ecclesiasticis Orbis Catholici). Some years later, Leo XII changed its name to the Sacred Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs (Latin: Sacra Congregatio pro Negotiis Ecclesiasticis Extraordinariis), which remained its title until 1967 when Paul VI separated this body from the Secretariat of State, calling it the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church. This Council was later replaced by the present Section for Relations with States.
The Section for Relations with States is responsible for the Holy See's interactions with civil governments. According to the relevant articles of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus,[5] the responsibilities of the Secretary for Relations with States are:
- for the Holy See's diplomatic relations with states, including the establishment of concordats or similar agreements;
- for the Holy See's presence in international organizations and conferences such as the United Nations;
- in special circumstances, by order of the Supreme Pontiff and in consultation with the competent dicasteries of the Curia, provides for appointments to particular Churches, and for their establishment or modification;
- in close collaboration with the Congregation for Bishops, it attends to the appointment of bishops in countries which have entered into treaties or agreements with the Holy See in accordance with the norms of international law.
The Section for Relations with States is headed by an Archbishop, the Secretary for Relations with States, aided by a Prelate, the Under-Secretary for Relations with States, and assisted by Cardinals and Bishops. The secretary is often called the foreign minister of the Holy See. The current Secretary for Relations with States is Archbishop Dominique Mamberti. The current Undersecretary for Relations with States is Monsignor Antoine Camilieri.
The current Delegate for Pontifical Representations is Archbishop Luciano Suriani.
The current Head of Protocol is Monsignor José Avelino Bettencourt.

Perfect for All Gardens
Our unique gravestone markers are perfect for all remembrance gardens and graveyards, our stones are very versatile and have been used to mark graves, trees, and to mark where some ashes were scattered.
Remembrance Types
We sell two difference types of remembrance stones that come in various different forms and use many different types of stone and rock. If you are looking for a plaque then please check our Memorial Plaques page, or should you be looking for a headstone then please check out our Memorial Headstone page.
We are pleased to announce that we are now stocking York Stone in the same format as our freestanding and upright slate memorials. 60mm to 80mm thick and available at all sizes. This stone can be secured into the ground (only necessary for the larger ones or ones at risk of being stolen) with steel rods that we can supply. York Stone is available for your design on the design tool
We take making of memorial stones very seriously, we source our materials from local quarry's here in the UK, all of the rocks we use for headstones and plaques are handpicked and checked for undesirable things such as cracks, we only hand pick the best looking rocks and stones so that they look great in all gardens with all different type of flowerbeds, gravel and grass patches.
It's worth mentioning that people have different tastes and we always check that our customer is satisfied with the design, size and shape of the memorial stone before we engrave onto it, we do this by receiving your custom design and we then pick a stone for you and send you a mockup with your personal message and the stone we have selected for your purchase, if you are not happy with the shape of it, then we will hand pick another and resend our mockup… In the rare event that we are unable to cater for the shape you require then we will be more than happy to refund your order.
Maintaining Your Memorial Stone
Our products do not suffer from rotting or tarnishing as a wood, plastic and metal memorial would, our stones are thousands to millions years old and will outlast you and anyone at Rustic Stone, the only maintenance our items require is the occasional brushing of leafs and maybe even a touch up of paint should the colors fade with time, which doesn't require a professional to do so. We will tell you exactly what paint you can use which can be obtained from any popular online or high street DIY retailer.
Personal Messages and Images
We are proud that our online designer allows our customers to fully customize their garden gravestone marker with dozens of preloaded fonts, choose from hundreds of images that can be engraved onto your remembrance or should you want too you can even use your very own image.
Unlike some funeral gravestone markers we do not preselect a maximum of use of characters, we will allow as much as the stone allows for, write a farewell message or even a poem in the choice of color of your choice.

Mark BrewerNew Englanders have been sliding down snow-covered hills since our nation's founding– probably as a way to avoid real work, like clearing fields, building stone walls, and emptying the dishwasher. But not all sleds are created equal. To help you achieve the ultimate downhill slide, we've broken down the options.
Old Faceful
Before Mustangs and Camaros, there was the Flexible Flyer, hot-rod of choice for adolescent boys. Real men rode face first, snow pummeling their faces, while lesser mortals rode sitting up, steering with their feet or the pull rope. These days, you can spend a lot of money on souped-up versions with seat backs, steering wheels, ski-type runners, and other geegaws. Don't.
Masters of Spin
They're called "flying saucers" because they're fast–really fast–and provide the added benefit of making you dizzy as you spin uncontrollably down the hill. (This probably accounts for a lot of short-term memory loss among today's adults.) The first saucers were metal, but modern versions are plastic, further proof that kids are getting soft.
Wooden It Be Magic
The classic wooden toboggan is the Ford LTD of sledding–big, heavy, and relatively safe, unless you're headed for a tree. Steering basically happens at the top of the hill, when you choose your route to the bottom. After that, it's a matter of screaming "Lean!"–which, as Ethan Frome learned, rarely works. The best seat is the farthest back, where you can bail out quickly. The worst is the front seat (a.k.a. "the human shield").
Totally Tubular
For sheer comfort, there's nothing like gliding downhill on a cushion of rubberized air–until you bounce off or get poked by the valve stem. Real tire tubes (not the store-bought variety) don't have handles, so staying on board can be a challenge, and steering is a combination of body English and wishful thinking.
Snow Wonder
A cross between a sled and a saucer, the knee sled lets you enjoy the majestic beauty of nature for the 2.3 seconds it takes to get to the bottom. You can also do fancy jumps, flips, and turns, but if the AARP is sending you invitations, don't even think about it.
Handle with Care
Remember that hillside scene in It's a Wonderful Life? Put your bottom on the shovel with the handle pointing forward, lean back, and let go. Steering, such as it is, involves using your hands as rudders. Don't try to grab the handle unless you've already had all the children you want.
Dining-Hall Dasher
A favorite with college students, the lunch tray is a thrill-seeker's ride: fast, readily available, and nearly impossible to steer. The hard part is sneaking it out of the cafeteria, not to mention avoiding collisions with ivy-covered walls. Note: College students have also been known to go sledding on trash bags, shower curtains, garbage-can lids, and art-history textbooks.
Corrugated Coaster
For the consummate cheapskate, nothing beats a big piece of cardboard. On well-packed, dry snow, a homemade cardboard sled can give you several good runs before it turns into a wad of soggy cellulose. On loose, damp snow, though, cardboard is a no-go.

Calorie burning and muscle building are the obvious ways cycling helps you drop unwanted pounds. But that's just the beginning. Here are a few stealth and sometimes surprising ways that bicycling can help you shed body fat fast. —Selene Yeager
Many people who are trying to cut calories and lose weight worry that exercising will make them eat more. For some people, that's true, particularly if they turn to food as a reward for working out. But in terms of real appetite, the evidence indicates that the opposite is true.
Studies of overweight men and women who start exercising show that vigorous exercise actually suppresses appetite for a few hours afterward. Likewise, Tufts University researchers reported in a review article that people generally enjoy a "spontaneous reduction in hunger" when they start exercising, which they noted also consistently led to weight loss.

As the second to last negotiations before Copenhagen draw to a close in Bangkok, three big sticking points remain. These issues show a lack of willingness of the EU and other industrialised countries to find common ground with developing countries.
Major greenhouse gas emitters must help poor countries cope with climate change while recognizing the human rights and gender aspects of climate change, a panel of judges ruled at the Asian People's Climate Court in Bangkok on Tuesday.

DF-D's Male-Songs-Only Box
Not much activity here lately so here goes. Some of you will remember I was dithering about whether to buy the theme-based version or the chronology-based version of the Hyperion complete Schubert edition. I'm still dithering, mainly because I can't find the theme-based box at any kind of a discount. But there's an alternative that I don't think I'll be able to resist.
Amazon currently has for sale Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's box of songs composed for male voice -- all 21 glorious discs, 460-some songs -- in two iterations (links below). I'm assuming the audio content in these boxes is identical, and that the "only" thing missing is the booklet. Can anyone confirm that? I've got the Reed book of lieder so I'm not completely without resource if I go the cheap route. Here's the original: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846 And here's the cheaper one (presumably without the texts?): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846 Thanks, folks. Hoping to hear more talk about Schubert here. |
Well, I Did It. Now, Organization?
Okay, I bought the male-voice-only edition of Schubert songs. Twenty-one discs, more than 470 songs, some 1,500 minutes of music, all for the rock-bottom price of about $43. Now, can anybody tell me how these songs are grouped? There is no clue either in the liner notes or in the pdf's that Deutsche Grammophon provides on their site. It could be chronologically, by some kind of theme that I haven't divined, or random. I've listened to disc 1 and will go through about one disc a week for the next, oh, five months or so.

Temples of Bagan
Over 2,200 Buddhist ruins vie for attention in the fields of Myanmar's ancient city of Bagan. Each seems to whisper secrets of its past, never revealing the full story. With scattered records and few definite answers, Bagan remains somewhat a mystery to historians and visitors alike. Out of this mystery emerges legends and folklore. Take for instance the Dhammayangyi Temple, the largest remaining temple in Bagan. It echoes a gruesome past. King Narathu built the temple to repent for murdering his father, brother and a wife. The legend is that Narathu's wickedness was so perpetual that he chopped off the hands of temple masons for faulty workmanship. Then there is Ananda Pahto, one of the largest and best preserved temples in Bagan. The story goes that King Kyanzittha was so inspired by the tale of eight monks meditating in the Himalayas that he built the temple to emulate the scale and coolness of the mountains. To this day, Ananda Pahto dominates the temple fields of Bagan. In 2011, The Archeological Survey of India pledged money to renovate and restore the Ananda Pahto. These legends are about just two of Bagan's myriad temples that lie densely packed along the banks of Myanmar's Irrawaddy River.
For more than 200 years leading to 1287, Burmese kings commissioned over 4,000 Buddhist temples around Bagan – a building fest triggered by the region's shift from Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism to Theravada Buddhism. At its peak, Bagan was a vibrant religious and cultural center. The exact cause of Bagan's decline is contested, but a combination of invasions and natural disasters (most recently a 6.5 Richter scale earthquake in 1975) compromised original structures and drastically reduced the population. Despite the physical damage, Bagan still holds the world's most concentrated area of Buddhist religious structures. In 1990, in an effort to convert the area to an archeological zone and tourist destination, the government relocated all remaining inhabitants of Bagan to New Bagan. However, Bagan continues to woo visitors with ruins yearning to share tales of the past.
Most of Bagan's temple grounds are quiet and open for exploration. There are minimal barriers between visitors and the ancient ruins, particularly at the less visited temples. A handful of temples draw tour groups. The others are either completed deserted or guarded by a watchman who, if befriended, is happy to unlock the gates for a private tour. Those visitors who brave the dark staircases and are willing to wander through narrow passageways are often rewarded with intimate places to view the plains. Bagan seems to take on different personalities throughout the day. As the sun ascends, it reveals layers upon layers of temples, beginning in a pink hue at dawn and glowing red in the mid-day heat. Dusk casts a golden spell on the brick ruins.
Unlike ancient sites that have long been explored, Bagan is relatively new to mass tourism and it is still possible to visit the temples of Bagan at a leisurely pace. For a bird's eye view of the region, go on a sunrise hot air balloon ride.

"This BBQ sauce is a recipe a friend's mother gave me when I told her I was making pulled pork sandwiches. I intended to use bottled sauce since it was my first time preparing pulled pork. My pulled pork turned out ABSOLUTELY amazing because of this recipe. I'll admit I added a few dabs of bottled sauce because I wasn't confident the consistency of this sauce would be ok. Regardless, this is good stuff!"

2 cups apple cider
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/2 cup honey mustard
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup coarsely ground mustard
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup cane syrup
1 (12 ounce) bottle dark beer
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
I could see how this would be a good sauce over pulled pork once combined with the smokiness of the pork. I simmered this sauce for an hour and it was still very runny. It is a little too sweet/vinegary for my taste. Like Kelly says in the sauce description, I feel like it would be much better with some premade barbeque sauce mixed in.
I was looking for a mustard based sauce for meat pockets, I believe i just found the perfect one. Thank you
