In the time during and following Pentecost, the dioceses in Northwestern Europe generally get new priests, as seminarians are ordained during this time in which the Church remembers and celebrates the Holy Spirit's descent upon the Apostles and His continuing work in the Church today.
The ordinations are spread out across the entire month of June, with the first batch having taken place last weekend. On 6 June, Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck ordained Fathers Marius Schmitz (30) and Christoph Werecki (28) for the Diocese of Essen, and on Sunday the 7th the vast majority followed, with 5 new priests in Aachen, 4 in Berlin, 1 in Dresden-Meiβen, 1 in Erfurt, 3 in Hamburg, 2 in Münster, 2 in Osnabrück, 5 in Paderborn and also 5 in Würzburg. Additionally, 6 transitional deacons were ordained in München und Freising, as well as 2 permanent deacons in Trier.
On Monday the 9th, the first of a number of ordinations in the Netherlands took place, of Father Ton Jongstra in 's Hertogenbosch. He was ordained for the Focolare movement. On Saturday, 14 June, 2 new priests will be ordained for Haarlem-Amsterdam and 1 for Roermond. On the same day, in Würzburg, two Franciscan priests will be ordained. On 21 June, one priest will be ordained for Utrecht.
Lastly, on the 22nd, 2 new priests will be ordained for Mechelen-Brussels, one transitional deacon for Bruges on the 25th, and a final new priest for Ghent on the 29th
All in all, we're looking at 41 new priests, 7 transitional deacons and 2 permanent deacons in the dioceses of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The youngest priest is 25-year-old Fr. Johannes van Voorst tot Voorst, to be ordained for the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam; most senior is 63-year-old Fr. Joost Baneke, Archdiocese of Utrecht. The average age is 33 for the priests and 34 for the deacons.
Most new priests and deacons come from the dioceses for which they are ordained, but some have come from abroad. Fr. Alberto Gatto (Berlin) comes from Italy, Fr. Przemyslaw Kostorz (Dresdem-Meiβen) from Poland, Fr. Mario Agius (Haarlem-Amsterdam) from Malta, Fr. Jules Lawson (Hamburg) from Togo, Fr. Jiji Vattapparambil (Münster) from India, and Fr. Alejandro Vergara Herrera (Roermond) from Chile.

In an interview for the campus newspaper of the Catholic University of Louvain, Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard, who is the university's Grand Chancellor, speaks about the future, which includes what may well be his last year as Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels.
Archbishop Léonard will reach his 75th birthday on 6 May 2015, little over a year from now.
"The rule is that you tender your resignation to the Pope around your 75th birthday. It is up to him to decide what happens then. Sometimes, depending on the situation and your health, he will ask you to stay on a bit longer. The archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Meisner, is 80! In other situations you retire. I will do what will be asked, and enthusiastically so. It is a wonderful duty. I meet so many people, from soldiers to prisoners, from professors to young families. That gives an unimaginable wealth to life. If I am allowed to continue doing that a while longer, I would be very grateful. When I retire, I will also enjoy that very much. Didn't I say a priest had to be flexible?"
In a television interview, the archbishop said a bit more about his retirement plans.
"Once retired I would like to live near a shrine in Belgium or France, to hear confessions or give conferences. I do intend to leave the dioceses of Mechelen-Brussels and Namur, since I have already been active there for so many years."
André-Joseph Léonard was a priest of the Diocese of Namur from his ordination in 1964 to 1991, when he was appointed as that diocese's bishop. In 2010, he was appointed as archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels.
The rest of the interview, which also touches upon the Catholic identity of the Catholic University of Louvain, science and faith, the archbishop's work as Grand Chancellor, priesthood in past and present, the future of evangelisation, Pope Francis and Archbishop Léonard not being made a cardinal, can be read in my translation here.

Although he had indicated earlier that the archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels is usually made a cardinal, Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard is not surprised that he is not on the list announced yesterday. On his behalf his spokesman said:
"He will be 75 in 16 months, and then he will have to offer his resignation as archbishop. That is why he thinks it is better that the title, should it be given to the archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, would go to his successor."
Many had assumed that the archbishop would be a cardinal in the upcoming consistory. But in not selecting him, Pope Francis is not denouncing the archbishop or his actions. Rather, the Pope chose to select new cardinals fro the peripheries of the world: more from South America, Afica and Asia, less from Europe. In essence, there was simply no room on the list for a new Belgian cardinal.
Coveting the red is something that goes against the very nature of Archbishop Léonard. I am not surprised that he isn't, as he prefers simple means of conduct and personality, and the cardinal's hat is not something to strive for, but to accept in humble gratitude and determination to justify the choice.
On 6 May 2015, Archbishop Léonard will be 75, after only five years and four months in the see of Mechelen-Brussels. Of course, he can still be made a cardinal at any point between not and his 80th birthday, or even after that, but the fact remains that we are in the final years of Archbishop Léonard's tenure. A sad realisation.
Simply because it's always good to read something by the great Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard, I have translated an interview he gave to Belgian magazine Knack. The interview was conducted by Walter Pauli and subsequently shared in full on Facebook by Fr. Felix van Meerbergen, and covers such topics as foreign priests, Catholic funerals, the archbishop's efforts to be everywhere in his archdiocese, the attacks on him by Femen and other leftwing loonies, homosexuality (of course), Pope Francis (including a theoretical papal visit to Brussels), and more.
A good read which shows some unexpected sides of the archbishop. Who knew he is apparently a good entertainer, and you have to admire his attitude towards the attacks against him, which I shared on Facebook yesterday:
"The Femen attack was the most enjoyable: I only got water on me. The pie I got in my face in the cathedral in 2010 was decorated with strawberries, and that tasted nice. Only in Louvain-la-Neuve it was mostly unpleasant: those pizzas were really greasy. Terrible."
There's more, so read my translation here.

A bit of alternate history, or a look at how things could have been if history hadn't gotten in the way…
A Church province of Mechelen covering what is now Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The Archbishop of Mechelen would have truly been Primate of the Netherlands: his archdiocese would have covered the provinces of Brabant (or modern Flemish and Walloon Brabant) and Antwerp. It would have had seven suffragan dioceses, some of which are similar to the ones we know today, while others would have been radically different in composition:
- Amsterdam: the provinces of Holland (modern North and South Holland), Utrecht, Overijssel, Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe
- Bois le Duc: the provinces of North Brabant, Gelderland and Zeeland
- Bruges: the province of West Flanders
- Ghent: the province of East Flanders
Liège: the provinces of Liège and Limburg (modern Belgian and Dutch Limburg)
- Namur: the provinces of Namur and Luxembourg (the modern Belgian province and the sovereign Grand Duchy)
- Tournai: the province of Hainault
Map of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as it existed from 1815 to 1830. Subdivisions depicted are provinces, not dioceses.
The bishops of all these dioceses would be appointed with royal consent and would swear and oath to the king upon their installation. Bishops and clergy would receive an income from the state.
All this could have been reality, had the Concordat between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Holy See of 1827 become reality. The Belgian revolution and subsequent independence prevented this of course, and while the Belgian dioceses continued to exist and develop according to the descriptions in the Concordat, the Dutch dioceses would never become reality. In fact, it wouldn't be until 1853 when a whole different set of dioceses were created.
In that plan, which did become reality, the massive Diocese of Amsterdam (at 18,521 square kilometers taking up about one third of the total territory of the kingdom) had no place. In fact, no cathedral would ever be built in the Dutch capital, which instead became a part of the new Diocese of Haarlem. I described the recent Catholic history of Amsterdam in an earlier blog post.
The failed Concordat of 1827, which was signed by Pope Leo XII (and not Leo XIII, as I mistakenly wrote earlier) (pictured) and King William I, sheds an interesting light on what could have been. Whereas the Church in what is now Belgium and Luxembourg was predominant in society and had dioceses which had already been established (with the exception of Bruges, which would be split off from Ghent in 1832, and Luxembourg, separated from Namur in 1840), the northern Catholics lived in mission territory (the Mission "sui iuris" of Batavia) and in four apostolic vicariates ('s Hertogenbosch, Breda, Grave-Nijmegen and Ravenstein-Megen), three of which were less than thirty years old. Since the Reformation there had been no hierarchy to speak off in the modern Netherlands. The (often Italian) superiors of Batavia frequently didn't even live in the territory they had pastoral responsibility, choosing Brussels or Cologne instead. The Concordat was, then, something of a diplomatic victory, especially since royalty and government were far from tolerant of the Catholic Church. Hence the oath to the king and the state control over clergy income. In fact, the creation of a mere two dioceses in areas where there were none yet (Bois le Duc and Amsterdam) would have helped as well: it meant there were only two extra bishops to contend with: in the southern part of the kingdom, there already were dioceses with bishops, so little would change there. The Concordat would simply solidify the relation between Church and state there.
If the Concordat had become reality, how would the map of the Dutch Church province look today? Assuming that Belgium would have become independent at one point or another, the province of Mechelen would be spread over two or even three countries (Luxembourg continued to exist in a personal union with the Netherlands through the same head of state, but since the Grand Duchy could not have a female head of state, the two nations would go their separate ways as soon as the first Queen inherited the Dutch throne). The Diocese of Liège as proposed in the Concordat could have gone both ways: split between Belgium and the Netherlands or wholly Belgian. The proposed Diocese of Bois le Duc would have been rather unmanageable, combining strong Catholic and Protestant parts of the country into one. The province of Gelderland would one day be split off, but to do what? Become an apostolic vicariate in its own right? Be merged with Amsterdam? The proposed Diocese of Amsterdam was also hard to control, split as it would be by the Zuiderzee: the part formed by Holland and Utrecht would be physically separated from the rest in the northern part of the kingdom. Perhaps the latter part would form a new diocese with Gelderland, with its cathedral in… Zwolle? Groningen? Deventer? Arnhem? Who's to say? And what of Utrecht? That oldest of all sees in the northern Netherlands, once established by Saint Boniface as his base of operations from which to convert the Frisians. Now just a part of a new Diocese of Amsterdam… The Concordat of 1827 may have appeased the state for a while, but for the Church it would have been quite unmanageable and unrealistic.
The present layout of dioceses in the Netherlands
Perhaps it is a blessing that it never became reality. Today there are voices that there are too many dioceses in the Netherlands, but for the major part of their history, they have worked well enough. A Church province limited to a single country, with its own metropolitan see in the oldest Christian centre of the nation.
Marking the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI, which becomes effective in the evening of 28 February, all Dutch and Flemish dioceses will be offering a thanksgiving Mass for his pontificate. With the exception of Haarlem-Amsterdam and Antwerp, all will do so on the day of abdication itself.
The two metropolitan archdioceses, Utrecht and Mechelen-Brussels, will feature the most extensive celebrations. In Utrecht, a Mass will be offered at 12:30 at St. Catherine's cathedral, which will be followed by Holy Hour, a sung Rosary, Vespers and Benediction at 6. Whether Cardinal Eijk will attend this day is unclear. Mechelen-Brussels will offer no less than three Masses, all at 8pm: In Brussels by Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard and auxiliary Bishop Jean Kockerols, in Louvain (St. Peter's) by auxiliary Bishop Leon Lemmens, and in Waver (St. John the Baptist) by auxiliary Bishop Jean-Luc Hudsyn.
The other thanksgiving Masses will take place at 6pm in Bruges (by Bishop Jozef De Kesel), at 7pm in Groningen (Bishop Gerard de Korte), Breda (Bishop Jan Liesen) and Roermond (Bishop Frans Wiertz), and at 8pm in Ghent (Bishop Luc Van Looy) and Hasselt (Bishop Patrick Hoogmartens). All Masses will be at the respective cathedrals of the dioceses, except in Breda, where the Mass will be offered at the chapel of the Bovendonk seminary in Hoeven, and Hasselt, where the Basilica of Our Lady will host the Mass
The next day, 1 March, auxiliary Bishop Jan Hendriks will offer a Mass at 7:30pm, and on 3 March, Antwerp's Bishop Johan Bonny will offer one at 5pm.
In addition to these Masses, parishes, communities and other societies may of course also mark the abdication with Masses or prayer services.
A fairly unseen person, Belgian prelate Frans Daneels (no relation to the similarly named Cardinal Godfried Danneels) has been noticed in Rome nonetheless. The secretary of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, the Curial body overseeing the administration of justice in the Church, has been a bishop since his appointment in 2008. Today, he was elevated to the dignity of archbishop. This makes him one of Belgium's two active archbishops, the other of course being Archbishop Léonard.
71-year-old Archbishop Daneels belongs to the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, better know as the Premonstratensians, where he made his profession at Averbode Abbey in 1961. He has been a priest since 1966. From 1971 to 1982 he was active in several parishes in the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels. In 1982 he returned to Rome for his order. He has been active in the Apostolic Signatura since 1987.
Archbishop Daneels retains his titular see, being now the titular Archbishop of Bita in Algeria.

Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard and Bishop Jean Kockerols have sent a letter to the faithful, both clergy and laity, of the Vicariate of Brussels about the Metropolis 2012 project I wrote about earlier.
After an introduction about the context of the project, the ordinary and the auxiliary bishops outline the five points that the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation has outlined when it selected prelates of twelve major European cities to spearhead its first major endeavour.
Here they are, with the specific plans that the Archdiocese of Malines-Brussels has:
The importance of the proclamation of the Word of God. The continuous reading of the Gospel of Mark falls under this point.
The grace of conversion. Four well-known Christians will be giving witness of their conversion. This will take place on every Sunday during Lent, and will be followed by Vespers.
The (re)discovery of Gods mercy. A 'day of encounter and reconciliation' will be organised on the Saturday before Palm Sunday in fifteen inner-city churches, located in busy places.
Catechesis by the bishop in service of the proclamation of the faith. Both bishops will be hosting catechesis meetings, the details of which were mentioned in a previous blog post.
Service and engagement to others, inspired by the faith. On 18 March, a great Lenten meal will be organised for all Christians. The Latin American community of Brussels has been asked to organise this.
These points, given these specific hands and feet in Brussels, can perhaps be considered the main focal points of the entire Pontifical Council. The realisation in other cities are undoubtedly different, but it may be a good starting point, like I said earlier, that gives momentum to the new evangelisation.

Picked to be one of eleven starting points for the new evangelisation in western Europe, the city of Brussels, self-styled capital of Europe and biggest urban area of the Archdiocese of Malines-Brussels and as such the heartland of Belgian Catholicism, prepares itself for the Metropolis project, starting in Lent of 2012. The official website of the Church in Brussels and Flanders, Kerknet, offers a first glimpse at the plans which, it admits, are not fully developed yet.
Part of the work is expected to take place in local parish communities, but the faith will also have a larger visible presence in the city. Well-known citizens of Brussels will be reading out the entire Gospel of Mark, both in real life in the Notre-Dame du Finistère church and via a big screen in the busy Nieuwstraat. Churches will be open on the Saturday before Palm Sunday, and the example of the World Youth Days will be follows as both Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard and Auxiliary Bishop Jean Kockerols will host catechesis meetings with young people, newly baptised adults and young parents wishing to have their child baptised.
A starting point, surely, that will make the Catholic faith visible once more. Let's pray that the momentum to be gained here will be used fully to propel the new evangelisation into the future.

DJ Webstar - Dancing On Me ft. Jim Jones & Juelz Santana
Artist: DJ Webstar
Featuring: Jim Jones , Juelz Santana
Producer: Remo Green & Webstar
Album: Promo Single/Untitled Studio Album
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 35 total votes )
Three years after the release of his much-hyped Caught In The Web compilation album, DJ Webstar's stepped back into the mainstream spotlight, but with a few differences: now signed to E1, he's working on a collabo album with Jim Jones, and he's replaced his old-school vibe with that of… Ron Browz? Apparently so—Dancing On Me features the same three elements that made Pop Champagne a hit: Autotuned singing (by Webstar), guest verses (from Jones and Juelz Santana, in that order), and a simplistic, percussion-heavy beat (by Webstar & Remo Green). If you're temped to one-star this record, consider this: Dancing On Me is already the most-played song on New York radio station Hot 97, getting an unprecedented 118 spins per week. As the great Frank Sinatra said in regard to NYC, "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere!"

Does Central Bank Financial Strength Matter for Inflation? An Empirical Analysis
AbstractThis paper analyses empirically the link between central bank financial strength and inflation. The issue has become very topical in recent years as many central banks have accumulated large financial exposures and the risk of losses has risen. We conclude that even though some estimates show a statistically significant and potentially non-linear negative relationship between several measures of central bank financial strength and inflation, this link appears rather weak and not as robust as suggested by the previous - very limited - literature. In general, other inflation determinants play a much more important and robust role.

Class of 2013: Summon the courage, choose to serve and live with compassion
"Raise your eyes now, and look from the place where you are … for all the land that you see I will give to you." — Genesis 13: 14-15 University commencement season is a time of high hopes and great celebration. I was again reminded of that this past Saturday when I delivered the commencement address at Huston-Tillotson (HT) University in Austin, Texas.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court is considering whether police may search cellphones found on people they arrest without first getting a warrant.
The court's latest foray into the issue of privacy in the digital age involves two cases being argued Tuesday that arose from searches of phones carried by a gang member and a drug dealer. Police looked through their cellphones after taking the suspects into custody and found evidence that led to their convictions and lengthy prison terms.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that police can empty a suspect's pockets and examine whatever they find to ensure officers' safety and prevent the destruction of evidence. The Obama administration and the state of California, defending the searches, say cellphones should have no greater protection from a search than anything else police find.
But the defendants in these cases, backed by an array of civil libertarians, librarians and news media groups, contend that cellphones, especially smartphones, are increasingly powerful computers that can store enormous quantities of sensitive personal information. They say that officer safety is not an issue and that police can take steps to protect a phone's contents from being wiped clean without also conducting a warrantless search.
The issue is of more than passing concern for many people. More than 90 percent of Americans own at least one cellphone, the Pew Research Center says, and the majority of those are smartphones.

22 CB JASON VERRETT: too versatile as a secondary defender to pass up despite his lack of size. Our secondary would be both immediately improved and pretty set for years at several positions.
Honorable mention: Dee Ford (immediate pass rush help) or Justin Gilbert (despite couple minor holes in his game that may be coachable, too much size/talent to pass up).
Dream scenario: we move up and get the undersized yet studly Dlineman from Pitt. He is the best interior pass rusher in the draft and underrated against the run. Or we move down for an extra pick but still get one of the three mentioned above. Of course, if WR Evans falls to 22, then that would also be nice, but unlikely.
54 DE MARCUS SMITH: starter by end of rookie season at ROLB that isn't a 1 trick pony. His all around game maybe allows him or Barwin to move inside to ILB once Ryans is gone if a suitable replacement isn't found.
Honorable mention: If Smith is gone then draft any of the well thought of 2nd round WR's.....Robinson, Matthews, or ODB Jr., or maybe even Martavis Bryant....who are on the board.
86 WR MARTAVIS BRYANTt or TE C.J. FIEDOROWICZ or the TE from Notre Dame as the future Celek replacement (both blockers who will surprise you with the occasional nice grab).
Honorable mention: If all are gone, then best remaining safety or DB prospect. There should still be decent ones left on the board at this point.
122 DE JAMES GAYLE: looks like maybe future starter caliber player or depth/situational pass rusher. He's definitely 3-4 OLB material and not DE.
Honorable Mention: This or any of the later rounds also might be a good round for a dual threat backup QB. As we saw with Vick, a running QB in this offense is very capable of coming off the bench and winning a game or two. Tajh Boyd becomes rather tempting at this point......kind of like the hot girl who you know you shouldn't get mixed up with or the entire box of ice cream that you shouldn't eat.
162 WR Josh Huff or RB James White or DAT or maybe Archer. Basically, some sort of legitimate non-traditional offensive threat. I like White as the top backup RB. He can also take snaps out of the shot gun for the occasional trick play. Huff has slot, blocking, and screen passes written all over him in a Kelly offense. DAT and Archer would both be nice toys for Chip. If none of these guys are on the board, then maybe a falling WR who can make the catches in traffic over the middle or in the red zone. There are a good number of them in this draft who might fall to the 5th thru 7th rounds.
Honorable mention: Safety Johnathan Dowling if he drops to this point might be a future starter. He lacks ideal speed for what the Eagles look for in a safety. But his quickness/size combo at 6'3'' and overall ability to read and jump routes and make tackles might make him a worthwhile grab anywhere from round 4 or later.
237 DT JAY BROMLEY: Might be wishfull thinking for him to drop here. Very nice 2nd effort pursuit along the LOS and good burst/physicality at the point of attack. He offers more as a run defender than pass rusher. But I could see him as a nice rotational/depth NT.....better than most mid to late round DT's that have been mentioned on this site.
Honorable Mention: It looks like other 3-4 Dlineman or rotational NT's may fall to this round who can be nice role players if Bromley is off the board. 6'6''-ish tall guys like Hart or Urban come to mind for DE.
Trades: if we can grab either Marcus Smith or a situation pass rushing OLB that we have any faith in, I'd also move Graham for a late round pick or in order to swap picks and move up in any of the first 3 rounds. If Bryce Brown can fetch us the same, I'm even more interested in moving him.

Good theater for a decent movie viewing experience and the price of the ticket is average when compared to other theaters around. The only drawback would be the parking.

Worst place to park a car. Once you enter the complex, the staff allows the car to get into the show parking one behind another. If one do not get tickets of their choice, they have to spend 3 hrs to release their car from the parking lot. This is really rediculous and I had this bitter experience alongwith my family.

Interview with Blackfive
Blackfive: I enlisted in the military when I was seventeen. I briefly served as an Army aircraft crew chief before becoming a paratrooper and then joining Special Operations. After receiving a Commission as a Cavalry Officer, I served in units in Europe, Asia and Southwest Asia before working as an Intelligence Officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). I left the military as a Major in the US Army Reserve in July of 2001. I have a Masters of Science Degree from the University of Chicago. Currently, I am an IT Executive in Chicago.
A good friend of mine, Major Mathew Schram, was killed on Memorial Day, 2003. In fighting his way out of an ambush, he saved the life of a Newsweek reporter who never wrote a story about Mat.
Newsweek really pissed me off and I started blogging about the good, the bad, the humorous and the ugly of military life because most MSM outlets like Newsweek weren't. If it didn't fit the template of "Bush sucks, the war sucks, the military is failing," then it didn't get published by most of the MSM.
There was a distinct void of coverage of what was actually happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. My friends were sending emails, reports, after-action-reviews, and photos that were contradicting what I was reading in the NYTimes and the WashPo. So I started posting about them. And Blackfive.net took on a life of it's own…
Simon Owens: Much of the rhetoric in the 2004 election and in political dicussions today involve the "message" we send the troops when criticising the war. As a military blogger, what is the notion of this "message," and does it imply that we're sending false messages of reality to the troops in order to boost morale?
Blackfive: Well, you are asking first about the message you send the troops when you criticize the war. Saying that you support the troops and not the war, sends the troops the message that (1) you don't support their mission which,ergo, means them and (2) that you don't approve of what they are doing.
I have no idea what you mean about "sending false messages of reality to the troops in order to boost morale." The messages you describe at the beginning of your question clearly would not boost morale. In fact, I would argue that it would have the opposite effect.

Reality TV star Scott Disick has had a rough year with losing both his parents and then being hospitalized in June with alcohol poisoning.

The photos are almost identical, as both women pose nude while showing off their bumps.
Kardashian brother Rob has reportedly looked into a California treatment center called "Bridges to Recovery," according to a source at In Touch magazine.The mag says that Rob will be working on his "mental, physical and anxiety issues" if he checks-in to the facility.
The 35-year-old mom is glowing in a gold bikini, while Penelope is adorable in a red and yellow mixed-pattern outfit.

Chris Pratt's 8 Best Leading Man Looks
Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel's off-kilter antidote to all of those over-serious superhero movies, puts funny guy Chris Pratt in the leading man seat for the first time. While the box office looks promising, one thing's for sure already—the guy's dressing the part of a movie star. Pratt's stepped up his style game big time, swapping out baggy jeans and buttondowns for trim plaid suits and precision-cut outerwear. It helps that he now has an action star's body to hang it all on, but that's not always a sure bet (see: Stallone, Schwarzenegger, et al). Lucky for us, Pratt's making nothing but A-list moves on and off the red carpetread more

This Adams Morgan restaurant made one of the most striking debuts of the year, riding the brilliance of chef Cedric Maupillier, who brought Gallic rigor and a spunky imagination to owner Saied Azali's hipster-farmhouse concept. Maupillier's brunch lineup is less experimental, but his clean execution is still evident, whether he's turning out a bountiful smoked-fish platter or an Alsatian flammekueche (a bacon-and-onion-strewn flatbread) or a fluffy Belgian waffle. The chef's biggest reach—a croissant larded with ham, eggs, bacon, cheese, roast pork, and pickled onions—feels like a dare to make it to dinner without a nap. Saturday and Sunday 10:30 to 2:30.

First look: Pacific Time
Jonathan Eismann is on track to be the comeback kid with the re-opening of his ex-Lincoln Road spot.
By Sara Liss
The goods: Local celeb chef Jonathan Eismann re-opens his popular Pacific Time restaurant in what is becoming Miami's new restaurant row: the Design District. Eismann helmed the beloved Pacific Time on Lincoln Road for nearly 15 years, dishing out a sophisticated menu of Asian-inflected cuisine. Rising rents spurred his move across the causeway to his new home in the former District Lounge space. Opening across the street from culinary powerhouse Michael's Genuine doesn't seem to phase Eismann, as he intends to create a neighborhood restaurant that caters to Miami's ever-growing food-savvy community hungry for creative, locally-sourced fare. The spacious indoor dining room boasts a glowing bar, handsome beige banquettes and mahogany tables. In a nod to the restaurant's furniture showroom neighbors, lighting is courtesy of '60s-era, Verner Panton-designed hanging fixtures. An open kitchen, which features a wood burning oven, flanks one side of the dining room, providing diners with a view of the chef in action. An outdoor courtyard provides additional seating, but with summer already here, dining indoors is proving more attractive.
The grub: A confident and eclectic menu with plenty of seasonal surprises. Eismann still employs his flair for Pan Asian flavors but has also thrown nouveau American dishes into the mix. The new Pacific Time adheres to an increasingly popular small-plates approach, giving diners more tastes of more things and more control over their meals. In comparison to Eismann's former white-tablecloth spot, prices here rarely climb above $20 with small plates ranging from $8-$16 and mains $18-$32. The small plates list contains 15 options that hopscotch the globe with dishes like seared foie gras with pomegranate syrup, grilled salmon with a tamarind glaze and sweet corn and leek soup with peeky toe crab dumplings.
The menu strikes a balance between relatively conventional Asian starters or snacks (edamame, crispy crab wontons, tuna tartar folded with avocado and crushed cucumber) and dishes that bring you closer to a full-fledged dinner (roasted leg of Colorado lamb with mango salsa, soft pillows of gnudi stuffed with sheeps milk ricotta, a side of risotto-like farro). One could easily construct a meal of a small plate of grouper in red curry with banana and a side of swiss chard dotted with dried cherries and pine nuts. Old favorites like the miso-rubbed chicken salad and the Peking-style duck have made the transition to the new menu.
A modest selection of wines gloriously free of Miami markups includes wines from sustainable viticulture and Florida-brewed organic draft beers. Half carafe selections like New Zealand's Fernleaf sauvignon blanc for $16.50 are ideal for the taste-as-you-go odyssey.
The verdict: Pacific Time re-enters the Miami dining scene with a fresh approach, keeping prices low and the menu flexible enough to keep the locals coming back.

Photo of the Week
Athlete: Alex Bellemare
Location: Aspen, CO / X-Games
Date: January 2013
Bellemare is really calculated. Rather than stress about training, his run, or anything else surrounding the event, he just chilled and played Scrabble during X-games. The day after this photo was taken, he stomped his way to a 4th place finish in Slopestyle. Not bad for his first appearance at the highest profile event in skiing.

Your poem, on a bus
Calling all bus poets! Poetry on buses is back. This year's theme is "writing home." You can find submission guidelines here.
Bus cuts are coming
Thanks to the failure of our state legislature--and the subsequent failure of Prop 1 (aka, "plan B"), King County will lose 72 bus routes and see reduced service on over 100 more. There is a chance a plan will be cobbled together to save some service, but it will be even less ideal than the less-than-ideal plan that just failed.

The wisdom of bus ladies
When I was pregnant with Chicklet, folks I met on buses and at stops regularly inquired about the gender of my bus-bundle-to-be. Some of them (almost always middle-aged to older women) were sure they already knew. "It's a girl," they announced confidently, almost to a woman. "I can tell because of the way you're carrying/how tired you look/the curl in your hair." (OK, they didn't mention my hair, but I'm pretty sure my fingernails came up a time or two.) Back then, I knew they were right (since I'd chosen to find out Chicklet's gender) and was duly …

All signs indicate that the U.S. Department of Labor is sticking to a plan to make a reproposed fiduciary rule for financial advisers public in October. The fiduciary rule's "train has left the station" and is on its way to the Office of Management and Budget, says Fred Reish, partner and chairman of the financial-services Employee Retirement Income Security Act team at Drinker Biddle & Reath. "If the DOL has responded to the most important concerns of the private sector, then the reproposal could be less controversial than contemplated," he said.

A processor's clock speed is derived from the system base clock, which is 266 MHz in the case of the Intel FSB1066 bus, multiplied by a so-called clock multiplier. The Core 2 Duo E6300 runs at 1,866 MHz (1.86 GHz), which it reaches by multiplying 266 MHz by 7. It would be just perfect to select a higher core clock speed by increasing the multiplier, but unfortunately the CPU manufacturers lock the multiplier at the default value.
This means that the only way to run a processor beyond its rated clock speed is to increase the system clock speed. Current platforms such as the P965 chipset offer great overclocking margins, but be sure that you know of the dependencies related to the system clock: the main memory clock speed is derived from the base clock as well. If you increase the 266 MHz base clock to 333 MHz, the memory will be running at the same 25% clock speed increase. In turn, this means that you either have to purchase high-performance memory for overclocking, or you have to set the memory to a slower speed, so it still works at your preferred overclocking settings.
Here is a simple example that should work on many P965 enthusiast motherboards:
|Overclocking Example
|Core 2 Duo E6300
|... overclocked
|Front Side Bus
|266 MHz (FSB1066)
|425 MHz (FSB1700)
|Core Clock Speed
|1,866 MHz
|2,975 MHz2
|Memory Ratio
(400 MHz FSB to 400 MHz RAM)
(425 MHz FSB to 425 MHz RAM)
|Memory Speed
- We had to reduce the memory ratio, because the DDR2 speed would have reached 637.5 MHz or DDR2-1275, which is too much for most memory available today.
- You might have to increase CPU core voltage to reach 2.5+ GHz.
In this example we overclocked the Core 2 Duo E6300 from 1.86 GHz to 2.975 GHz. We increased the core voltage from 1.15 V to 1.40 V.
Watch out: even at the 1:1 memory ratio, the DDR2 RAM clocks at 425 MHz (DDR2-850).
