GREENVILLE, SC (Catholic Online) -You know the old story about G.K.Chesterton: There was a series of articles and letters in the paper about what was wrong with the world. So he wrote to the editor,
"Dear Sir,
What is wrong with the world?
I am,
Yours Sincerely,
The same might be answered about 'What's wrong with the Church?" On my blog readers had been grumbling about the state of the Catholic Church and one of them asked me what they could do about it. The first thing to do is to develop an attitude shift.
Instead of blaming everybody else I should blame myself. Accepting the blame has the wonderful double effect of confounding one's enemies, and helping one to nurture that most elusive of virtues: humility.
There seems to be an awful lot of grumbling about the Church from both liberal and conservative Catholics. The conservatives don't like liturgical abuses. They grumble about folk masses and brutal modern American Catholic architecture. If you're a grumbling conservative have you ever stopped to consider that the progressives grumble just about as much as you do?
The progressives complain about "this conservative, reactionary papal regime and the misogynistic, corrupt hierarchy and the medieval anti democratic bishops." The conservatives think the progressives are wrong and the progressives are just as convinced the conservatives are killing the church. No matter what side you're on, what are you going to do about it? The first thing we can do about it is stop complaining so much and be a bit more philosophical.
When you read church history you come to realize that the church has always been troubled with corruption from within and persecution from without. In different ages the corruption from within has taken different forms. There has been sexual scandal, financial corruption, heterodoxy, complacency, worldliness, liturgical abuse, bad music and all sorts of other troubles in just about every age.
You only have to read the New Testament to find the apostles criticizing the various churches for their inconsistency, false teaching, immorality and unfaithfulness. I shouldn't worry about it too much. It's all part of being Catholic because it's all part of being human.
The most ordinary source of disappointment in life is having the wrong expectations to start with. If you thought it was going to be all marvelous and to your liking in the Catholic Church you had the wrong expectation in the first place. If you thought all the bishops and priests were going to be perfectly moral, upstanding, totally orthodox saints you were suffering from a major delusion. If you thought every parish would be straight down the line and have wonderful liturgy, saintly pastors, fine music, exemplary architecture and all the rest, you misunderstood. Correct your expectations and you won't be so disappointed.
My advice is, "Stop whining and get on with it." Be positive. There's far more that's good in the modern Catholic Church than bad. There may be some priests who celebrate the Mass irreverently, but I haven't met too many. Sometimes the music, the servers, the reverence of the people or the architecture is lacking, but it's often made up for by a real sense of love and community service.
In addition to all the good work in most parishes, there are also many, many other wonderful things in the Catholic Church. Consider all the apostolates, the good religious orders, the missionary work. Sure they're not all perfect, but look to the heart. See people where they really are. Understand their longings and aspirations. Know that they want to love and serve God. They can't help it if they have been poorly catechized and are victims of the culture they live in. See what's positive about the people and customs you don't like. Cut people a break, and remember the golden rule.
That being said, there are also many practical things people can do within their own parishes and dioceses to make things better. First, support your parish priest. Be his right hand. Help him out. Be his friend. Pray for him. Love him. When he knows your love and support is genuine, then he'll take you seriously when you offer constructive criticism. If he's doing something you don't like, instead of criticizing him negatively, go and ask him why he does this or that. If it is a minor matter let it slide. If he's consciously deviating from the teaching of the church or the rubrics, then do your homework, ask him about it with respect-- gently and with tact. Do you like to be criticized for something you're supposedly good at? I don't think so. Neither does he. Don't write a letter to the bishop. Do you know how many letters like that he must get every week?
If you want something changed in the parish, get involved and work for change. You can do so positively and creatively. If you want something to be different why not offer to pay for it. Don't like the candlesticks or statues or vestments? Buy Father new ones. Get a group together to develop new devotions. Start prayer groups and study groups. Always support the parish and work with positive joy with your parish priest. You think it's hard working with him? Maybe he finds it hard working with you. That's life. Keep working on it.
What about reverence at Mass? Make sure you and your family dress decently and respectfully. Make sure you kneel in silent prayer before Mass and that you receive the sacrament reverently. Is the music in your parish awful? Don't just complain. Learn more about sacred music and request particular hymns and music that you like. Offer to buy new hymnbooks when they're needed.
Are things irreverent or complacent in your parish? Do something about it. First of all, know your faith the best you can. Get some people together locally and organize a parish mission. Invite a dynamic, orthodox speaker. (Pick Me! Pick Me!) Organize a diocesan conference and promote it. Start a local Catholic radio station. Get EWTN in your area if you don't have it. Offer to help with RCIA. Be a catechist.
Get involved with work for the poor. It's amazing how working with the poor helps put things in perspective. When you work with the poor you minister to Jesus and you immediately start to experience him more perfectly at the Eucharist. It also helps you to see everything else more clearly. Working with the poor helps you see that maybe all the stuff you thought was so awful about the church isn't the worst thing in the world and you will begin to see yourself, your world, your church and your Lord from a fresh and more wonderful perspective.
Finally, ask for the spirit of joy. The biggest fault of conservative Catholics is that we often come across as cranky old complainers. Life's too short. Be happy in Jesus.

playground reviewed diamond version @ sónar 2012.
When have the people of Raster-Noton ever let us down? Never, that's when; which is why they're at Sónar every year with, often exclusive, shows for electronica epicures. While last year's Cyclo show made considerable impact, label founders Alva Noto and Byetone's new incarnation - alongside Japanese artist Atsuhiro Ito - as Diamond Versionwas at least as impressive visually and sonically. The fact that they had hardly played live before, and possibly won't again, made it all the more attractive. While the Germans were launching waves of well-polished techno - minimal, crude, industrial and dry - the Japanese artist was desecrating the people's ears with the Optron (a fluorescent tube, modified for use as a sound source). It was quite extravagant an experiment, as the tube ended up being used as a regular instrument, with Ito playing it like a guitar in the end. The symbiosis between the sounds was complete. Ito offered some good doses of brutal noise, going straight for the jugular, which, in combination with the deafening sub bass of the Germans, made for a shock of epic proportions. The visuals, sober yet powerful, did the rest. AGM

It would be missing more than half of the sensor.and that's the only thing 6D offers. better IQ and ISO. 7D(2) on the other hand:
- AF speed, spread and points
- buffer
- 100% VF and 1x magnification
- more custom functions
- better weather sealing and durability
- (Dual, +?) Digic 6 processor for the 7D2
- the tag "TOP APS-C"
and the list goes on. i completely see how its priced above 6D, even though i would rather see it not get above it. but in 1 year time, when 7D2 is supposedly released, 6D's price will plummet due to its age and.. you know the rest.
Interestingly, except for CF as a difference, your list sounds a just like a comparison between the 5DII and 7D. Which of those was more expensive?
Keep in mind the timeframe. Five years ago FF was much more expensive to manufacture than it is today. The fact that the 6D, still relatively new, sells for as little as $1700, is quite telling here. I am not sure that a comparison of the 5D II and 7D from four to five years ago is good enough to predict the future in the case of the 6D/7DII of next year.
The two cameras are different, for sure...but that does not mean they don't both qualify for the same level of "pro" gear. Functionally, the 7D II (at least as the rumors stand now) sounds like a much more professional, higher grade part than the 6D...regardless of what the numbers may seem to indicate.
Agree completely.
I still see "Not having to buying somewhat expensive non-EF-S standard zoom and comically expensive longer glass" as a huge selling feature that is worth driving up the price of the 7D2.
As much as many folks on this forum believe there is a not-so-subtle attempt by Canon to push all 'gear spenders' into the FF column, isn't there also value in selling a very pricey rig that obviates the need to buy new glass? Clearly, capable shooters would pay a premium to get state of the art gear without having to make the FF plunge.

Kills: 14* Items: 20, plus PISTOLS, DESERT EAGLE PISTOL and GRENADE LAUNCHER, 3 key cards and 4 pass keys Save/power-up crystals: 3 Secrets: 2
*The number of kills here is approximate. You don't need to kill the prisoners. If you do, your kill total will be substantially higher. Note that there are two prisoners that can't be killed even if you try: the first one you meet if you follow this walkthrough and the one near where you get the second keycard. Thanks to Jason P. for pointing this out. Be sure to find all the secrets so you can access the bonus level at the end of the game.
Objectives: You begin the level locked in a cell with only a single medi pack (or your save crystals if you're playing the PS1 version) left in your possession. The guards have confiscated everything else you collected up to this point. You must escape and, in the process, get your hands on some weapons. Your fellow prisoners will make valuable allies, so don't hurt them. You'll need to find a series of 7 keys/key cards in order to access different areas of the level.
CELL BLOCK [BAY C]: Climb into the window to trip the sensors and get the guard's attention. When he comes in, run out past him and open the cell next door. A burly convict will come out and make short work of the guard for you. Open the rest of the cells while you're at it, since you'll be needing some reinforcements farther along in the level. (Is it just me, or do all these guys look like clones of George Michael on steroids?)
Enter the open cell diagonally opposite Lara's. Jump into the passageway above the sink. Push the movable crate once and crawl through the small opening around to the other side. Push the second movable crate once. Turn right to face the first crate (you're now on the other side of it) and push it twice, past the crawl space. Return to the second crate and pull it back twice. Crawl back under and pick up SECRET #1, a small medi pack, where the second crate was.
COMPOUND ROOF: Now climb through the opening in the ceiling to the walkway above. Take a running jump over the barbed wire in the pit to grab the other edge. Pull up and continue. Walk through the barbed wire and pull the switch to open the trapdoor. Climb onto the ledge then down the ladder into the hallway on the left. (Don't drop into the barbed wire below.)
Follow the hallway, jumping over the first trapdoor. Fall through the second trapdoor and push the button inside the office to open the bars on the CELL BLOCK. If you stay low, the guard will ignore you and the prisoners will rush out and take care of him for you. Take a small medi pack, shotgun shells and a KEY CARD from the guard once he's down. Use the card to open the gate opposite the CELL BLOCK.
LAVATORY, KITCHEN & MESS HALL [BAY D]: Inside is a roughly square area of corridors. To the right is a closed door leading to a yellow area. Ahead is the MESS HALL and KITCHEN. The LAVATORY is to the left.
Go through the LAVATORY to a storage room. Find the movable crate and pull/push it under the opening in the ceiling. (See these screenshots if you have trouble here.) Climb up, jump the purple pipe and use the switch to flood the room below. Swim down and through the other opening in the ceiling. Follow the passageway, jumping over the opening above the lit stove in the KITCHEN. Continue to an outdoor walkway.
Traverse over the barbed wire pits. Drop down at the end and go down the ramp. Use the switch to turn off the flames and the button to open the door, but return the way you came and drop down onto the stove.
Take the small medi pack on the counter. Then press the button to open the kitchen door to exit. Now open the door on the right first (leading to the MESS HALL), then the one on the left. Let the guard chase you through the MESS HALL back to the CELL BLOCK so your buddies can pummel him for you. Confiscate his small medi pack.
Return to the office near the KITCHEN, where the guard came from. Press the button here to raise the grates on the exhaust fans in the KITCHEN. Climb through the vent carefully and get the save/power-up crystal. Slide down the slope and jump to grab the crevice. Traverse to the left, drop down and immediately jump to land on the flat spot on the other side of the barbed wire. Climb into the crawlspace and follow it to a ladder. Climb up and walk along the passage to open the trapdoor above. Reverse, jump to grab the opposite edge of the opening and pull up.
GREEN RAMP [BAY E]: Say hi to your friend George and continue to the end of the hallway. Climb the grate and pick up the small medi pack at the base of the green ramp. There's a guard patrolling at the top. He won't follow you down the grate ladder, so you'll have to lead him elsewhere. Run up the ramp and turn right. Sprint through the next room, past the crate and to the left. (Don't go right or the sensors will activate a gun turret and you won't get very far.) On the far left is an opening you can jump down into. Run into the hallway ahead and press the button to let George out of his cell. He'll subdue the guard so you can take his KEY CARD.
Climb back up top and use the card to open the control room. Inside is a large medi pack and Uzi clips. Push the button to deactivate the sensors. Now you can go through that area and down the ladder. Run down the hall to the left. The guard will chase you. Again, open the cell door. When the cons are through with the officer, relieve him of his YELLOW SECURITY PASS and some flares.
OUTDOOR/HANGAR AREA: Go back up to the sandy area. Use the pass key to open the door on the far side of the hangar. Enter and follow the passage until you come to a crawlspace. Go through it, instead of down the ramp, to avoid the guard on duty below. Pass the windows and safety drop (it's quieter than jumping) into the hallway below. Crawl along to the switch and pull it to open the door to the left. The guard will freak, but he won't cross the laser trap in front of the door. So jump over it into the doorway and run down the hallway. Alternatively, you can wait for the guard to approach the door. Then, just before he turns to go back, flip the switch, and he'll be fried by the laser.
SATELLITE DISH TOWER & POOL BELOW [BAY C]: Continue to a huge, open room containing a central structure with stairs going around it and a dish antenna on top. There are several ways you can accomplish the next bit of business. The following describes one way. (See the diagram at right to get oriented.)
(NOTE: You can get to the glassed-in control room that you see above on the right when you enter. The hallway leading to it is on the opposite side of the tower. Inside the control room are 2 buttons. One moves the satellite dish, revealing an opening at the top of the tower that will allow you to drop into the pool. The other opens the door to the hallway leading back to the tower support. However, none of this is necessary if you follow this walkthrough.)
Drop down onto the support beam just below the doorway. Make sure Lara's health is at or close to 100%. Position her so her back is to the opening where you entered and the glassed-in control center is above on her right. If she drops here, she'll still lose more than half her health, but she'll take even more damage if she drops from the outer edge of the support. (See these screenshots if you're not sure where to drop.)
After dropping, you'll be at the base of the tower supporting the dish antenna. In the center of this square room is an opening above a pool. On one outer wall is a ladder leading up. (This is the ladder labled #1 in the diagram.) On the other side of the room, there's a hallway leading to another ladder going down. (This is the ladder labled #2 in the diagram. It is behind Lara when she first drops from the support beam.)
First, climb the ladder leading up. Follow the passageway to a T intersection. There's a guard posted down the hall to the left with his back to you. Sneak to the right (walk or crawl; don't run, or the guard will notice). Climb into the crawlspace at the end of the hall, take the YELLOW SECURITY PASS and sneak back out the way you came. (NOTE: Remember this location; you'll be returning here later on to pick up a secret.)
When you reach the square room at the base of the dish antenna tower, circle around the opening in the center to the opposite side and climb down the ladder. IMPORTANT: Push the button in the alcove to the left of the ladder. When you return to this area, you will need to get through from the other side. Now enter the room to the right of the ladder and use your yellow pass key to drop a door between the propeller and the save/power-up crystal in the passageway at the bottom of the pool.
The pool has grates on all four sides. The strong current sucks Lara toward the grates, so that it's easy to become trapped and drown. Rather than fighting the current, I found an easier strategy: Climb the ladder to the right of the yellow lock. (See this screenshot to get oriented.) At the top of the ladder is a dark room with bluish-purple lighting. One side is open to the pool. Drop onto the small, square burner that juts out into the pool. From here, you can step off into the water almost exactly above the opening with the save/power-up crystal. Swim through the opening, picking up the crystal, and continue along the underwater passage. Pull the lever to open the door and keep going.
Surface in the next room in one of the corners to avoid the lethal laser trap. If you didn't have time to get them on the way, go back into the passage for the flares and small medi pack. Climb out of the water, jump over the lasers and drop into the next water-filled passage. Follow it to a big room with a hook up above and a fellow escaped prisoner.
ROOM WITH CONVEYOR BELT & HOOK: Climb the crates on the left of the entrance. The room behind them holds a large medi pack, PISTOLS and a loaded DESERT EAGLE PISTOLat last! Be careful exiting the room, as the sensors for the gun turret above have been activated. Hug the wall to the right of the door and climb up the crates.
RETURN TO SATELLITE DISH TOWER AREA: Now that you've got some weapons, return to the previous area for a secret. Swim back to the pool, follow the other underwater passage in the corner to a dark crawlspace. Crawl through to the hallway near the YELLOW LOCK ROOM. Now there's a guard on patrol here. Take him out, continue around to the right and climb the ladder.
(NOTE: If you neglected to open the door here earlier and your way is blocked, return to the pool. Climb out of the water on the small, square burner and jump from ledge to ledge clockwise around the pool to the green crawlspace. Follow this to a switch, which opens the door. Return via the pool to the hallway where you killed the guard.)
Climb back up the ladder to the square room at the base of the satellite dish antenna. Go around to the other ladder, climb up (to where you got the yellow security pass earlier), kill the second guard, and take his grenades and KEY CARD. Now use the card to open the door at the end of the hall. This is SECRET #2the loaded GRENADE LAUNCHER.
RETURN TO ROOM WITH CONVEYOR BELT & HOOK: Make your way back, via the tunnel at the bottom of the pool, to the ROOM WITH THE SWINGING HOOK. Go up the ramp on the right, killing a guard at the first landing and 4 more MPs and a German shepherd at the top. One of them will drop a BLUE SECURITY PASS and grenades. Take them, plus a large medi pack from the small room near the gate.
Climb the ladder at the top of the ramp and use the pass key to open the next door. Kill the guard who rushes out. Inside you'll find 2 buttons. Press the one on the right to turn on the conveyor belt, dumping a crate at the bottom. The left button only opens the gate, letting in another guard and his dog. So unless you want all the kills, don't bother pushing it.
Climb back down, go down the ramp and use the crate to climb to the ledge above. Grab the duct above and monkey swing across to the ledge with the small medi pack. (See this screenshot if you're having any trouble here.) Return to the middle then go left, past the hook, to the stairs. Climb up and kill the guard so you can borrow his YELLOW SECURITY PASS. Carefully jump over the laser trap and get the save/power-up crystal. Return to the ground.
LOADING DOCK: Use the key to open the gate to BAY X. ;-) Head up the ramp to the loading dock, killing one MP on duty outside and another in the warehouse. Pick up some Desert Eagle clips and a small medi pack in a depression at the top of the stacked crates. Go to the back right, where you'll find one movable crate. Behind it is an alcove containing Uzi clips and grenades. Get on the truck to end the level.
Another short cut scene follows: Lara hides behind some crates as the truck doors are closed. She pops open a soda and takes a much-needed break as she rides on to Area 51.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Although the first commercial brand of "lye" relaxer was not patented in the United States until 1971, legend has it that women had been applying soap with a heavy concentration of lye to their hair since the beginning of the 20th century for smoother and more manageable hair. Lye's active ingredient, sodium hydroxide, straightens the hair by loosening the curl as the hair fiber swells. Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, the caustic chemicals are actually breaking the bonds within the hair shaft, which will seriously weaken hair at best -- and can even break it off when used incorrectly.No-Lye Relaxers
In 1973 no-lye relaxers were introduced to the market. No-lye relaxers rely on ammonium thioglycolate instead of sodium hydroxide to loosen the hair's natural curl. Unlike sodium hydroxide, ammonium thioglycolate is more selective in changing the sodium bonds within the hair shaft. It will loosen the bonds within the hair shaft, rather than breaking them. But it's not damage-free; both lye and no-lye relaxers create a permanent change in hair, and all of the chemicals can potentially cause great damage. Both types of relaxers should only be applied by a professional with experience who takes the time to thoroughly assess the condition of your hair and scalp.
The mid 1990's brought a new straightening solution to the scene. Thermal reconditioning, more commonly known as Japanese straightening, also uses ammonium thioglycolate as an active ingredient. The solution is applied like a perm, but backwards -- hair is ironed straight rather than set on curlers. Although the chemicals used are slightly less aggressive than traditional relaxers, the same cautions apply: Only proceed if an experienced professional tells you that your hair can handle the process. If your hair is weak, damaged, or bleached, or if your salon doesn't have extensive experience with thermal reconditioning, just say no.Brazilian Hair Straightening
Most recently, the controversial Brazilian hair straightening method was introduced in the United States. Brazilian hair straightening uses formaldehyde and keratin to relax the texture of the hair. Although the solution will not eliminate all of the curl, it is the least damaging of all commercial relaxers. However, the long-term effects of exposure to formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, should be considered and the procedure should be performed in a highly ventilated environment. Also, make sure any protective masks provided by the salon are specially designed to filter formaldehyde.Going Natural
If relaxers are not an option for you, consider why you dislike your curls in the first place. If the gels you've used in the past produced crunchy curls that turned you off to wearing your hair curly, the solution could be as simple as changing your styling product. One easy trick is to mix gel with a leave-in conditioner for a softer, smoother look that still provides control. Also, don't forgot to make sure your haircut is maximizing your curl's potential. Find a stylist who specializes in curls and knows how to layer. The perfect combination of layering and texturizing is what curls need to look their best.

FORT SILL Okla_ The Department of Veterans Affairs has begun a program on Fort Sill aimed at helping veterans get work after they leave the military.
It's called 'The Vow Act', which stands for 'Veterans Opportunity to Work'. Service members will be required to go through a five-day course before they leave the military. The course helps them find work and makes sure they know all the benefits they've earned. VA has established a pilot program here at Fort Sill before they implement it nationwide.
Currently, there are nearly one million unemployed veterans in the U.S., some unaware of their benefits. The VOW Act is helping to change that. If Fort Sill's pilot program proves successful, it could be mandated at military posts throughout the country.
Fort Sill Drill Sergeant Jerry Barnard said the transition from active service member to civilian veteran can be challenging.
"I have a few friends that got out and went through hard times. They didn't know where to go and didn't know where to turn, because no one ever told them."
Classes are required at Fort Sill to teach soldiers how they can make the most of their lives.
Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. Tommy Sowers said the VA is in place to provide every benefit possible to veterans.
"If you served your country honorably, come to the VA. Whether you want to be buried with honor, you want great healthcare, or education benefits, we're here to serve you."
Sowers said these benefits are more available now than they were when he was in the service. He said back then, they were once only available if you were lucky. He said no one who's served should ever have to go without a home because they can't find a job. He said retirees like Staff Sergeant Catrena Monroe have some of the best jobs skills available.
"I'm a go-getter, and hard worker. I believe, 'Let's get it done'."
If this program proves successful, it will be adopted army-wide first and more than likely spread throughout the Department of Defense.
The five-day course is also available to existing retirees. If you're interested in signing up on Fort Sill, call (580) 442-2222.

A 24-year-old Johnson County woman has been in a fight for her life since last Christmas.
Laura Holler was diagnosed with leukemia and having a stem cell transplant was her only chance of survival.
However, she had no immediate bone marrow match. But after searching for months, she finally got one.
There are millions of people all over the world waiting to for a match and who rely on blood transfusions to stay alive until they find one.
For many, an upcoming blood drive is more than spending 15 minutes in a chair, getting poked and giving a pint. It is about saving a life - and finding a cure.
The Community Blood Bank is partnering with Be The Match at the Church of Resurrection.
When people give blood, they can also enter the national bone marrow donor program - a program helping people like Holler beat leukemia.
Holler is in the hospital recovering from a stem cell transplant.
"So some little boy born eight years ago in North Carolina ... the mother donated the umbilical cord and those are the stem cells that she received," Doug Lapham said.
When the body of 6-year-old Clara Peters, a poster child of Be The Match, stopped making blood, she needed 14 blood transfusions to stay alive.
Luckily her older sister was a perfect match.
"Most of the time siblings do not match. It's about 25 to 30 percent chance of having a sibling match at all ... for anyone. So that means most people rely on bone marrow registry to find their match. And we know we were very lucky, very fortunate," Jessica Peters said.
Less than a year after being diagnosed, Clara had her stem cell transplant.
"Well, I'm feeling pretty good," Clara said.
And her sister feels pretty good too.
"It was like nothing happened," Ellie Peters said.
And signing up is just as easy.
Potential donors just need to swab the inside of their mouth. Anyone in good health between the ages of 18 to 44 can do it.
After swabbing all four corners of their mouth for 10 seconds, simply send in the results. There is only one in 560 chances that it will be a match. And if there is a match, it could be someone's cure.
Anyone can stop by on your way to work, after work or anytime in between. The blood and bone marrow drive is at 137th Street and Roe Boulevard from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

You should be very familiar with this film by now. Steve McQueen's sex-addiction drama Shame stars Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan and Nicole Beharie. After premiering in Venice Film Festival at the end of this month, Shame will screen at the Telluride Film Festival (September 2-5th), Toronto International Film Festival and the BFI-American Express London Film Festival.
Here's the Director's Statement, courtesy of Venice Film Festival site:
Hunger was about a man with no freedom who used his body as a political tool and through that act created his own liberty. Shame examines a person who has all the western freedoms and through his apparent sexual freedom creates his own prison.
As we witness – and become desensitised to – the continued and continual sexualisation of society, how does anyone navigate through this maze and not be tainted by the surroundings? It is this 'elephant in the room' that I wish to explore.
Cant wait. :-)

@ska-triumph please do share the script with me! I'm really interested in reading. firstname.lastname@example.com
ska-triumph | August 29, 2011 7:49 AM
to my fellow commenters:
mcqueen is on a similar track as schnabel was before him.
a reputable vanguard artist - who actually built layered videos (often with him as the subject/protagonist) as his work - going into to mainstream, narrative film with hard-hitting subject matter.
having that cast can't hurt. got to read the script (could send you a draft) and it is bare - and, expectantly, intense.
Vanessa Martinez | August 28, 2011 4:58 AM
I see what you're saying, although I'm pretty certain that won't be the case from everything I've read on the project and overhearing some of the early reactions. We'll see.
sonofbaldwin | August 28, 2011 3:20 AM
I'll have to hear and see more, of course. But as a writer, I'm kinda zeroing in on what's not being said and I hope this doesn't turn out to be a kind of slut-shaming, homophobic morality tale.

Remarkable talent highlights 'Oliver!' production; performances run weekends May 10-19
Lionel Bart's exuberant musical Oliver! takes the stage in Carson City on weekends, May 10-19. The Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company's production of "Oliver! plays in seven performances at the Carson City Community Center.
A Tony Award-winning classic, Oliver! is the musical retelling of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The story tells of a child who is sold by a London orphanage because he asked for more food. Oliver eventually escapes to the streets of London, finding adventure and a loving home.
The production is animated with high-spirited dance numbers and filled with unforgettable tunes, including "Pick-a-pocket," "Where is Love," "Consider Yourself," and "As Long As He Needs Me." Performed by a cast of 40 and accompanied by a professional orchestra, Oliver! is family entertainment at its best.
Starring Patrick Hardy as Fagin, who returns to play the role after multiple standing-ovation performances in the company's 1994 production, the show also features Logan Chapman as Oliver and Brynn Garrett as Nancy. Stephanie Arrigotti produces and directs. Gina Kaskie-Davis is the choreographer.
Calling the casting performances "outstanding" and the all-ages actors "tremendously talented," Arrigotti said it is rare to have so many try out for the main roles and all of the actors being equally qualified.
"The blessing we have with this production — and it is a blessing — is those who were not selected for the larger roles are playing the smaller ones and they are playing them exceptionally well," Arrigotti said. "The entire cast is filled with shining stars — from the main roles, to the speaking roles and, of course the singing. We're fortunate to have the kind of remarkable talent we have with Oliver! with these kids bringing in such great enthusiasm."
The idea to bring Oliver! to the stage was that of choreographer Gina Kaskie-Davis who had asked Arrigotti to bring it to the stage because of its themes, its cast of unforgettable characters, and because it is a universal favorite among legions of theater-goers.
"I'm very fortunate to be able to work with as many talented children and adults," Kaskie-Davis said. "They work well together making the choreography that much better."
Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. - May 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m. and May 12, 18 and 19 at 2 p.m. To purchase tickets, go here and click on "Buy Tickets." See the full program below.
Prices vary from $25 to $28 and there is no service charge. Season tickets are also currently available that include the international sensation, Les Misérables, playing in November.
For more information, phone (775) 445-4249. The Carson City Community Center is located at 851 E. William St., on the corner of Roop Street and U.S. Highway 50 East. Tickets will also be sold at the venue one hour before showtime.

Why Healthcare?
Ideally, everyone should have equal access to doctors, hospitals, and medical lab tests in their communities. However, large disparities exist in access to health care services in the United States. The elderly, minorities, and uninsured are most likely to experience obstacles in receiving quality health care. These Americans are unable to get the preventative care, effective treatment, and health education that could improve their health and well-being. Consequently, they will lead shorter and unhealthier lives. In addition, the effects of health disparities often begin at birth and persist throughout one's life leading to chronic medical problems that go untreated.
Given the link between high quality health care and a good quality of life, health care disparities are a pressing problem in the United States. Considering that Alabama consistently has the highest rates of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity, the stakes and the need here are even higher. While the need is great the opportunity is even greater: All of these chronic diseases that have such a heavy impact on people's lives can be managed and prevented!
Why EAB?
While the realize this problem is much larger than us as individuals, this is a charge we will not ignore. EAB is has developed a number of programs that partner medicals students with healthcare professionals, and community organizations to address this dire need in our community: Staffing the free health clinic at M-Power Ministries once a week, holding monthly health screenings, and providing various health education opportunities, we provide health care for many who would not receive it otherwise.
To a better future...
In truth, we recognize that the greatest progress towards addressing health disparities in Alabama will be realized in the future. As medical students form the majority of our volunteer base, we actively provide opportunities that will open their eyes to the needs the underserved in our community. In turn, this experience has and will continue to guide the their futures as healthcare providers in the community.
While medical students at UAB are the main volunteers involved in this organization, members of the Birmingham community can help by volunteering their time or donating money. Together as citizens of the Birmingham community, we can alleviate the silent suffering of many and demonstrate how caring we are as a community.
By the Numbers:
In Jefferson county, Alabama…
27.7% of children under the age of 18 are living in poverty
18.6% of all county residents are living in poverty
14.3% of residents under 65 lack any type of health insurance

I didn't start using cloth part time until my son was over a year old...so we didn't use that many in a day. I'm going to do the same with the newb...but I'm not sure how many diapers I need exactly. I have a bunch of prefolds, but I'm not a huge fan so I doubt ill be reaching for them often. I prefer pockets, and right now I have 8 adjustable ones. If I wanted to wash 1-2 times a week, how many more would I need to add? Ill be using disposable when we go out of the house and at night more than likely...so factor that in if you can.
I have 20 newborn but i plan on washing everyday though...i have a one year old and we just started cloth diapering him but i have 40 os diapers so i will have enough once my newborn gets out of the newborn ones
I didn't start CD-ing til a few days ago with my 4 month old but for the first month of his life he went through 11 disposables a day because I changed him everytime he seemed even slightly wet. A lot of ladies told me I should get 30 if I wanted to wash every few days. He was using so many disposables I just kept him in them til he could fit in a one size pocket or cover. He was super skinny & I didn't want to have to buy smaller dipes that would be useless after a month or 2
Edit: now that he's 4 months he uses 6 diapers a day, 7 if he poops. I have 3 fleece covers, 2 PUL Bububibi covers, 18 prefolds, an AI2, & 6 pockets so all together I have 24 so I can wash every 3-4 days. We still use disposables at nighttime until I get my charcoal bamboo inserts


text: On this 3rd album is where Budgie really left the slugish sloppiness behind and turned in a good studio effort. And this latest remaster sounds nice. The Repetroire imports sound good also. On even the simple material like "Baby Please dont Go" or the wild and speedy "Breadfan" there is a lusty thick confident attack. And a spacier more mature sound on the vocal/acoustic guitar interludes.This was a nice LP in the ole'days. I purchased this twice on cd since the '90's, once in 2007and the first time was on an MCA import vinyl in the fab '70's and it still a treat to have. Try to find in digipak to really appreciate the Roger Dean artwork.

Ty McNutt, left, director of business development, and engineer Edgar Cilio are part of APEI Inc.'s growing employee base.
Fayetteville Company Poised to Amp Up 'Power' Production
by Luke Jones
A growing research and development company in Fayetteville is providing a place for the state's electrical engineers to thrive.
The story of Arkansas Power Electronics International Inc., a recent finalist for Arkansas Business' business of the year award, began with electrical engineer Kraig Olejniczak (pronounced oh-leh-KNEE-check). In the 1990s, he was an assistant professor at the University of Arkansas, but had always wanted to try his hand at business.
"In high school, I competed in the [Future Business Leaders of America]," he said. "I competed nationally in my senior year. I was always interested in business."
John White, UA's chancellor at the time, approached Olejniczak with an idea.
"He was really big on economic development for the state of Arkansas," Olejniczak said. "At that time, he thought it would be a good idea for the faculty if we had a business incubator."
Using the university's incubator as a springboard, Olejniczak kicked off a consulting firm that eventually became APEI. He started with 100 SF of office space.
"It wasn't really that long before we actually had a project," he said, adding his first client was Ducommun LaBarge Technologies in Huntsville.
Olejniczak quickly encountered a roadblock, though. Indiana's Valparaiso University, his alma mater, offered him a job as dean of its college of engineering. Olejniczak was stuck. To take the job, which he wanted, Olejniczak would need to abandon his business, which he also wanted.
Luck, however, was on his side.
One of Olejniczak's former students, Alex Lostetter, showed interest in heading up APEI.
"He was one of the best theoretical and hands-on students I've ever had," Olejniczak said. "And I think I have a pretty good eye for talent. It was a perfect situation for him to step in and take over the business."
In August 2002, Olejniczak left Fayetteville for Valparaiso. Since then, Lostetter has been captain of the ship.
Lostetter immediately began transferring his Ph.D. research into his business model. The company became APEI, and its work truly began.
Power Electronics
"Power electronics" are parts used in almost any industrial technology. Anyone using a laptop computer is familiar with the boxlike object attached to the AC adaptor — that's a power electronics system.
"What it does is it takes the type of power that comes out of the wall and converts it into the type of power the electronics in laptops can use," Lostetter said.
APEI's work goes far beyond laptop computers.
"We do military systems, aircraft, hybrid vehicles, satellites, spacecraft, things like that," Lostetter said. "On a satellite, you have a solar array that turns power into electricity. Then you need to change that into a form that computers and electronics can use.
"We focus on making things small, lightweight, highly efficient. We're in a brand new, state-of-the-art type of technology we're developing."
APEI handles clients both from the government and the private sectors. The company's main commercial client is Toyota USA, and it also is teamed up with Rohm Co. Ltd., a large electronic parts supplier in Japan.
Many APEI products are designed for the U.S. military, specifically the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development & Engineering Center. APEI's products frequently are tested and optimized for the military, then further designed for commercial use.
"Our goal is, after we get it into high-performing systems, we'll expand the volume we can do, drive the costs down and get into more everyday uses," Lostetter said. "In the next five years or so, we'll be getting into some more commercial uses."
APEI has little in the way of stateside competition. Baldor Electric Co. of Fort Smith creates motor drives, which also involve power electronics. Even so, there's not much overlap.

The Canary Islands region
Lanzarote, perhaps the most unusual of the Canary Islands, lies approximately 95 Km off the west coast of Africa and 1100 Km south west of the Spanish peninsula. This position ensures year round high temperatures, more days of sunshine and fewer days of rain than the other islands. Summer temperatures can be in the 90's although these are always tempered by cooling breezes - ideal for sunbathing and sport during the day and comfortable in the evenings for relaxing over a leisurely meal or drink at one of the many bars and restaurants.
Only about 45Km long and around 18Km at its widest point, the island is famous for its dramatic lunar landscape of almost 300 volcanoes. Views of volcanic mountains, picon covered fields and rocky coastlines are broken up by a large number of beautiful golden sandy beaches and an amazing amount of well attended greenery and agriculture.
Playa Blanca
The villa is located just a few minutes walk from the sea and 5 minutes drive from the centre of Playa Blanca. Faro Park has a supermarket, cafes, bars and restaurants within a 3 minute walk. Playa Blanca is situated on the south coast of the island and has the best of the weather and sunshine. It has been tastefully developed and has spectacular beaches, in particular the famous Papagayo and Playa Flamingo, which are within easy reach of the villa. It has a beautiful pedestrianised shopping area as well as many seaside bars, cafes and excellent restaurants. The harbour where you can catch the ferry to Fuerteventura is a few minutes drive away, as is the stunning new marina with its cafes and restaurants. All in all, a magnificent place to have the holiday you've dreamt of!

"Lovely villa, brilliantly warm pool, very close to amenities."
This Villa was very clean and very well laid out. There could have been a few more mugs, plates and teaspoons but as there were only two of us it was not too bad, but for a family of four there was not really enough, if you didn't want to be putting the dishwasher on after every meal. The pool was an absolute delight, temperature fantastic 31/32 degrees most days. Amenities within a 2/3 minute walk and some lovely restaurants. Bus service (No 30) into Playa Blanca, every 30 minutes, from just by the shops. The back garden, which was astro turfed, was really lovely so green and vibrant, much better than just volcanic sand. A really relaxing holiday.

It would be quite the understatement to say that Bill Emerson is well versed in the traditions of great bluegrass music. As a founding member of The Country Gentlemen with a career reaching back to the 1950's, the five-string banjo whiz is an industry veteran who has recorded with various groups under various names. The Touch of Time is his third album release since forming the Sweet Dixie Band in 2007, which brings him together with the talents of Teri Chism (vocals and upright bass), Wayne Lanham (vocals and mandolin), and Chris Stifel (vocals and guitar).
The Touch of Time builds on a reliable formula of mixing original tunes with some well-chosen covers, with some rousing instrumental tracks added to the mix. Indeed, the band displays impeccable taste in covers, while imbuing the songs with their own creative musical arrangements. On this twelve-track set, we are treated to a Sweet Dixie version of the Leroy Preston-penned hit "My Baby Thinks He's a Train" – a song that was popularized by Rosanne Cash in 1980, becoming her second number-one hit. In addition, the trio resurrects an obscure Dolly Parton song, "Highlight of My Life," which was an unreleased album track on Parton's classic 1974 album Jolene.
The instrumental tracks in particular are a joy to hear. Emerson and Sweet Dixie cover the traditional song "Little Pink" with palpable enthusiasm. Emerson himself contributes three of his own compositions to the project, with one ("Home Sweet Dixie Home") being a co-write with Bill Evans. In addition, Chris Stifel's songwriting pen supplies the album's title track – a beautiful, wistful reflection on the short and fleeting nature of life. Another high point is the aching "Today I Turned Your Picture to the Wall" – a sorrowful moving-on tale with subtle shades of bitterness, with the brokenhearted narrator's resolve perfectly summed up by the song's excellent title phrase.
Shining with top-notch bluegrass musicianship and unshakable group dynamics throughout, along with consistently strong song material, Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie's The Touch of Time is a definite keeper.
(Scores are given on a scale of 1 to 10)
Top Tracks: "My Baby Thinks He's a Train," "The Touch of Time," "Today I Turned Your Picture to the Wall"

One of Erie's iconic landmarks – the Mercyhurst University Old Main Tower – will be bathed in a blue light as the university joins with the international community in commemorating the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on Tuesday, April 2.
Organized by Autism Speaks, "Light It Up Blue" is a unique global initiative that kicks-off Autism Awareness Month. The Old Main Tower will light up blue at 8 p.m. Similar observances are planned at famous buildings around the world, including the Eiffel Tower (Paris), the Great Pyramid (Giza, Egypt) and Christ the Redeemer statue (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), as well as hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges and retail stores.
Mercyhurst University is well known for its initiatives in serving the higher educational needs of students with learning and sensory disabilities through its 20-year-old Learning Differences Program. In 2008, Mercyhurst introduced what has become a hugely successful program – the Asperger Initiative at Mercyhurst (AIM) – to meet the unique needs of the growing population of college students diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
"We are really excited to participate again this year in the Light It Up Blue campaign and be connected with all these fantastic partners and iconic structures," said AIM Coordinator Brad McGarry. "On April 2 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Egan Dining Hall, we will be offering Mercyhurst students and staff the opportunity to pledge to the event and to honor a loved one or friend living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder."
Also, in anticipation of the evening event, Parkhurst Dining Services has planned a special lunch for Tuesday.

Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Impregnation'
Fertilisation (also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy), is the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism. In animals, the process involves the fusion of an ovum with a sperm, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilisation, or outside in the case of external fertilisation
The entire process of development of new individuals is called procreation, the act of species reproduction.
After the carpel is pollinated, the pollen grain germinates in a response to a sugary fluid secreted by the mature stigma (mainly sucrose). From each pollen grain, a pollen tube grows out that attempts to travel to the ovary by creating a path through the female tissue. The vegetative (or tube) and generative nuclei of the pollen grain pass into its respective pollen tube. After the pollen grain adheres to the stigma of the carpel (female reproductive structure) a pollen tube grows and penetrates the ovule through a tiny pore called a micropyle.[See more about Impregnation at Dictionary 3.0 Encyclopedia]
