Is it getting better now?
I wanted to get these pictures up before I left for New York. Liz took them after the Melrose/Fairfax flea last weekend. My mission to get a birthday gift for a friend was a success. The desk, not so much. But I'd rather wait for the perfect piece then just buy something to fill the space. I'm on a buying only things I love kick, which would explain the not one, but two, returns I just had to make. I think I'm done online shopping. It's depressing as hell when the items don't fit.
I'm currently freaking out about getting everything done before my trip. I'm closing at work tonight and then running home to pack and leave for the airport. Not the best planning skills over here. And I've inherited my parent's aniexty. Wonderful. Keiko and Samara have already told me I can borrow anything I forget but still… I hate packing. I hate stressing. Poor Will had to deal with me freaking out this morning. He handles me so well when my crazy sets in. But yea, better get back to it.

Our current issue contains a review of pro-grade line lasers that sell for $300 or less. After the magazine went to the printer it occurred to me that some of you might want to see.
a live demonstration of how these tools work so I took a few of them to a friend's jobsite and shot some video. Two of the tools are from the story we just did; the other is a more expensive model from a story we did last year. These are what I consider to be good, better, and best line lasers from the Bosch product line. I'll cover some of the other brands in future videos.
Archived Comment
An overlooked problem is that some manufacturers do not want their lasers exposed to hot or cold conditions. Which means you can't store them in your truck year 'round. That was enough to make me choose a brand which did not have that limitation.

Buffalo, January 16- ( release ) Average retail gasoline prices in Buffalo have risen 0.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.60/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has increased 1.1 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.34/g, according to gasoline price website BuffaloGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Buffalo during the past week, prices yesterday were 30.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 4.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 10.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 27.2 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Gasoline prices have slowed their rise in the last week as oil prices have temporarily stabilized," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "I'm sure this leveling off in retail price won't last terribly long as tension mounts with Iran. I still expect 2012 to be a nasty year for the typical motorist, which is what our recently released 2012 gasoline price outlook also states," DeHaan said.
GasBuddy's 2012 gasoline price outlook may be accessed by visiting the following URL:

Heads up to any ministry leaders:
Trying to break the ice between people is one thing. Having them turn and greet one another is one thing.
But saying "Turn to your neighbor and welcome them with a hug!" is a completely other thing.
Like, as soon as that was said, I wanted to bolt out and throw up and my hands were sweaty and just no.

Increasing monthly TSP contributions
March 11th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I am a GS-04, Step 10. My account balance as of Dec. 31 would provide me with a lifetime Thrift Savings Plan monthly amount of $451. As of this time, I contribute $300 every pay period to TSP. Let's say my goal is to have a lifetime TSP monthly amount of $1,000. By how much would I have to increase my TSP amount each pay period? I am 52 years old. I am under FERS. If I was offered an early retirement, should I take it? Or should take the chance of getting furloughed for an uncertain amount of time?
A. Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer your question, since the answer will depend upon a number of factors including the rate of return on your TSP investment between now and the time of you buy your annuity, the sequence of the returns and how they align with your savings contributions, the way you manage your TSP account and the annuity payout rate in effect at the time of purchase. You should consider seeking the help of a trustworthy and cost effective investment adviser.

Roth vs. TSP for early retirement
February 11th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I am 55 with 13 years of service. My wife is three years younger than me and will work three additional years — until I am 65.
My Thrift Savings Plan balance is approximately $200,000, and I hope to retire at 62. My wife and I have other investments of approximately $300,000, totaling $500,000 (mostly 401(k), but approximately 20 percent Roth).
I understand that when I am retired and after we reach the "threshold," I will pay one of every two dollars made. Is this true for dollars dispersed from Roth accounts? I understood them to be "tax-free."
A. Distributions from a TSP account, Roth or traditional, whether or not they are taxable, do not count as earned income for purposes of offsetting Social Security benefits.

TSP contributions
January 28th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I have been contributing to the Thrift Savings Plan for a number of years. I am a GS-4. I will have 28 years of federal service in June. In the beginning, I started contributing $10 (twice a year), then $25 (a year). Beginning last May, I started contributing $50 to the TSP out of my paycheck each pay period. At this time, I have no plans on retiring. I was hired under FERS. However, with furloughs, cutbacks and early retirements, should I keep increasing my TSP by $50 each year, or should I increase it by either $75 or $100?
A. You should contribute as much to the TSP as you can afford to commit to retirement savings.

Q. I will be retiring Jan. 31 from the Postal Service. In May, I will receive $10,000 and in May 2014, I will receive $5,000. Can this compensation be used to fund an IRA in years 2013 and 2014 even though I will be retired and not working another job? Is this considered earned income? I know federal and state tax will be deducted. I don't know yet if Social Security will be deducted, too. What are your thoughts on this?
A. I believe that these payments are considered retirement income, and, therefore are not considered the basis for IRA contributions, but you should consult a qualified tax preparer to be sure.

Voluntary contribution
January 9th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. Can I make a voluntary contribution and roll it over to a Roth IRA as a retiree? Am I correct that this would have to have been done before retirement? I took a voluntary early pension in 2004 at age 50.
A. You are correct in that you may not make a VC after you retire.

TSP annuity options for Postal Service early-out
November 13th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I will be taking the early-out offered by the Postal Service. I am a 54-year-old CSRS employee of 35 years. I have a Thrift Savings Plan account. Please give your opinion on the best option such as taking the MetLife annuity, joint with spouse, level or increasing, cash refund compared with simply leaving the money in TSP and getting monthly payments either by specific amounts or increasing by life expectancy. I don't quite understand the difference in the two options.
A. There is no "best" choice. Using your money buy an immediate annuity guarantees income for life. You give up control of the principal and risk losing buying power to inflation in exchange for the guarantee, however. Alternately, you may retain control of the principal, manage it for your benefit and withdraw money as you need it. One of the withdrawal options available is a series of monthly payments — either as a fixed dollar amount, or a varying dollar amount that is adjusted each year, automatically, based on your life expectancy. With this method, the previous year's ending account balance is divided by your remaining life expectancy to determine the new year's payment amount. If you want to know more, you should read the material available at www.tsp.gov.

Buyout questions
July 25th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I qualify for a buyout with 25-plus years of service. If I take the buyout, it is my understanding that I must wait until my normal minimum retirement age of 56 to begin receiving the Social Security supplement. Would this prevent me from receiving increases in Social Security supplemental benefits that I would have received had I waited until 56 to retire? I believe I would get the increases at 62, in any event, when I could first draw reduced SS benefits.
Also, what happens to my Thrift Savings Plan account? May I purchase an immediate annuity and/or take a lump sum at the time even though I am below the MRA? Would this cause me to have to wait until I was 59½ to begin being able to access TSP if I took an early-out? Do you believe the $25,000 buyout and the extra six or so years of retirement payments I would receive with an early-out would make up for the growth in my TSP and the loss of the extra 1 percent a year I would have received for staying until my MRA? I am at about the top of the GS-12 scale. I have been contributing the maximum allowed to my TSP and will be eligible to make catch-up contributions soon. I know you may not want to make a prediction, but I would love your opinion based on what you have observed with others in this situation.
Mike: Once you retire, you are free to access your TSP in any way usually allowed for retirees. The MRA does not apply to the TSP. You do not have to wait until you reach age 59½ to take money from your TSP once you are retired, but withdrawals taken before reaching age 59½ might be subject to the early withdrawal penalty if you retire before the calendar year in which you reach age 55. It's impossible to say whether the early-out income will be enough to offset the potential TSP gains in the future without knowing how you'll invest the TSP money along the way.
I think that accepting the buyout/early-out offer will substantially reduce your maximum standard of living in retirement if you don't continue to work, though. I think it's reckless to make such a big, irreversible decision without a clear understanding of the financial implications. Based on your questions, I suggest that you keep working and skip the buyout offer. This is the safer bet without the right decision analysis and support.
Reg: You can estimate what your special retirement supplement would be at age 62 by multiplying your estimated Social Security benefit at age 62 by your years of FERS service (rounded up to the next higher year) and dividing the product by 40. Your actual Social Security benefit at age 62 would be determined by the Social Security Administration based on such factors as your average indexed monthly earnings.

June 4th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I am confused by your statement May 29 that the postmaster who is considering "early retirement" after 24 years would be subject to a TSP early withdrawal penalty. My understanding is that if one is 55 years of age and retires, he/she can access his/her TSP funds without a penalty. Because this person is 55½, he or she would not be subject to a penalty. The authority you cite on page 7 appears to support my understanding. Have I misread your thoughts here as written?
A. You're right. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There was a typo in the response and I have submitted a comment to correct it.
Tax withholdings and TSP withdrawal
May 29th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I will be taking the early-out in July. I have been a postmaster for 24 years, and I am 55½ years old. I have plans to withdraw my Thrift Savings Plan. Will there be any penalties, and will taxes be taken out?
A. There will be penalty for early withdrawal. You'll find the tax withholding requirements on Page 3 of this notice: https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tsp-536.pdf.
Tags: early retirement, penalty, TSP withholding, withdrawal
May 7th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I will have 25 years of service soon but will only be 48. If the government offers early-outs, what will I be eligible for? Pension at one-quarter of my salary for the last three years? Health insurance? What if I get a part-time job? Will this affect my pension or annuity? Also, if I do an annuity on my Thrift Savings Plan, can I start that now? Will there be a penalty? Do I get this same amount for the rest of my life, or does it stop after a certain number of years?
A. Reg Jones: Because you have at least 25 years of service, you could retire at any age. Your annuity would be based on the standard FERS formula: 0.01 percent x your highest three consecutive years of average salary x your years and full months of service. If you were to return to work for the government either full or part time, as a rule, the salary of your new position would be reduced by the amount of your annuity. If you worked anywhere else, either full or part time, it wouldn't have any effect on your annuity.
Mike Miles: You may use your TSP money to buy a life annuity once you separate from service. Life annuity payments are excepted from the early withdrawal penalty. As the name implies, life annuity payments are guaranteed to last for life.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Has an Oscorp Problem (and It Could Derail 'Sinister Six')
Sony hasn't been shy about their plans for Spider-Man. Before 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' hit theaters, they had release dates for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 4.' They've announced spin-off films for Venom and the villainous supergroup known as the Sinister Six. The franchise's producers have openly mocked the idea of ever teaming up with Marvel Studios or 20th Century Fox for the kind of crossover comic fans all over the world so desperately crave.
In short, Sony wants to transform the Spider-Man movie franchise into a Spider-Man movie universe … and as of right now, it's not working.
It's easy to understand the temptation. Sony has had to sit back and watch Marvel Studios and Disney rake in the billions with former Marvel B-listers like Iron Man and Captain America. Suddenly, Spidey was no longer the biggest draw in the world of superhero movies — he was playing second fiddle to an entire line-up of Marvel deep cuts. To be fair, Sony is not alone. Fox is reportedly considering merging the worlds of the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in future films. Everyone wants to mimic Marvel Studios' massively successful interconnected universe.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ starts planting the seeds of the larger Spider-Man movie universe early and often. The first scene introduces us to the Russian crook who will become the villain known as the Rhino. The closing credits tease the line-up of the Sinister Six. Characters like Alistair Smythe and Felicia Hardy make brief cameos, presumably so they can become the Spider Slayer and the Black Cat in future films. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ has a lot of problems, but one of the biggest is that it sacrifices so much narrative and character momentum to set up stuff that won't pay off until a film or two from now.
And that brings us to the biggest problem plaguing the current Spider-Man series, the thing that can't help but spell doom for the big Spidey movie universe Sony is gambling so hard on: Oscorp.
In the comics and in the films, Oscorp is a massive corporation run by the Osborn clan, a family that has a bad habit of turning into supervillains. It's a major piece of Peter Parker's world, but in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' it literally becomes his whole world. Everything in both 'Amazing Spider-Man' films revolves strictly around Oscorp, effectively reducing Spider-Man's entire world down to one skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan.
Peter Parker gets bitten by a radioactive spider while visiting Oscorp. Peter's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, works at Oscorp. Peter's father, who created those radioactive spiders in the first place, used to work at Oscorp. Peter bases the webbing for his web-shooters on a technology developed at, you guessed it, Oscorp. Dr. Curt Connors, the Lizard, was an employee at Oscorp. Electro is created due to an accident at Oscorp. Alistair Smythe and Felicia Hardy make their brief cameos as employees at Oscorp. Harry Osborn, the new Green Goblin, gets his glider and suit from the Special Projects room at Oscorp. He later transforms Aleksei Sytsevich into the Rhino using a suit from Oscorp. And finally, the closing scenes of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ (and easter eggs in the closing credits) reveal that Harry Osborn is planning to assemble a team to take down Spider-Man and that the members of the Sinister Six will be outfitted with tech taken from Oscorp.
Let's face it: the 'Amazing Spider-Man' movies have an Oscorp problem.
The big joy of 'The Avengers' came from watching heroes from vastly different worlds come together to fight a common foe. The thrill was not the team itself, but rather the fact that each member of the team originated from a corner of the world that couldn't be more different than the others. When you see Iron Man and Captain America and the Hulk together, it's a team that feels improbable. Scratch that — it feels impossible. Each of those guys and gals has their own personal agenda and worldview and their own completely separate origin story, but here they are, in the same room. It's what makes the Marvel Studios universe feel so huge and it's why those heavily interconnected films feel so fresh and exciting.
Sony is obviously trying to replicate that excitement with Spider-Man, but they forget to bring that sense of scope. It's impossible to say for sure how they plan to approach 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3′ and 'Sinister Six,' but from what is revealed in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' they're taking baby steps, seemingly afraid and embarrassed of their comic book source material.
In the Marvel comics, the Sinister Six are a fantastic team because a bunch of villains from all walks of life with a variety of hugely different powers come together to take down their mutual web-slinging foe. If the movies are any indication, the cinematic Sinister Six will be a bunch of guys that Harry Osborn arms with Oscorp tech.
Sure, that's functional, but it misses the spirit entirely. Are we supposed to be excited that Doctor Octopus' tentacles (glimpsed in Oscorp's Special Projects room) exist before Otto Octavius does? Those tentacles are so specifically tied to his character that it feels like 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ has effectively neutered him before he can even show up. The same goes for Kraven, the Vulture and the other baddies who are teased in the final moments. These are villains whose costumes and powers are the summation of their personal experiences. By reducing them to Oscorp cronies, the new Spider-Man movies are looking to transform some of the most colorful villains in comic history into committee-approved nonsense. By extension, they're looking to transform the Sinister Six into a team of hired guns instead of a volatile mix of personalities and megalomaniacs.
This may showcase too much distrust in 'Sinister Six' writer/director Drew Goddard, who was a genius writer for 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel' before his directed the modern masterpiece that is 'The Cabin in the Woods.' If anyone can carve a great 'Sinister Six' movie out of this, it's him. But, will Sony let him? Can he even escape the restraints created by 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ in the first place?
Spider-Man's corner of the Marvel universe has the potential to be huge. It has enough characters, villains and allies to sustain a larger interconnected franchise. Yet, it introduces dozens of characters and concepts and ideas and limits them to a single city block. It's building a universe inside a bubble when it should be spreading across an entire city. Spidey's villains should come from every corner of New York, not the basement of one building. Spider-Man's rogue's gallery includes masters of illusion, werewolves powered by magic rocks, big game hunters and vampires. The joy is not in the number of villains that Spider-Man fights, but in the variety. If future films want to have the epic scope and interconnectedness that made 'The Avengers' a hit, they need to leave Oscorp and that Special Projects room in the rear view mirror.
It's possible to course correct. Heck, it's possible that Sony and director Marc Webb have other things in mind that will completely surprise us all and make this whole article redundant. But they've done such an effective job of building such a specific universe, that it feels like everything is going according to plan. Unfortunately, that universe and that plan don't inspire a lot of confidence. In its attempt to build a universe, 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ has built a tiny box.

Where the Roses Smell the Best: A Literary Companion To Portlandby Unique Ink
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This creative blend of short stories, vignettes, poems and visual art highlight the people, places and lifestyles of Portland. Students, community members, acclaimed writers, and poets worked together to create an anthology that gives anyone the taste of Portland. It invites anyone from traveler to a permanent resident to open its pages and discover something new about the people, places, and cultures of Portland, Oregon. So decide for yourself, read Where the Roses Smell the Best, and take an adventure that doesn't require you to leave your home.
This literary companion suits not only travelers looking for a good read while they're in Portland, but also the average Portlandian who just wants to learn something new about their hometown. Where the Roses Smell the Best is the anthology that will keep you coming back for more about Portland.
"Magic happens when fresh imaginations tackle a publishing project that challenges their understanding of where they live. And big magic follows when they create a literary collage of Portland's many voices — diverse in so many ways, unified in so many others. Where the Roses Smell the Best is an educational milestone and a tantalizing treat: mind candy to be enjoyed by those who know our home place and those who soon will." Dennis Stovall, Oregon author, publisher, and educator
"Where the Roses Smell the Best playfully celebrates what makes Portland special and is a fun read for newcomers and natives alike. As mayor I delighted that all the proceeds from this book will support the Writing and Publishing Center at Roosevelt High School. By involving students at all phases of publishing they acquire valuable career-related skills and help other students graduate with strong writing skills. This school-community enterprise represents the kind of social innovation that makes Portland strong." Charlie Hales, Mayor, City of Portland
"A crowd becomes a village when individual voices can be heard by many, honored one by one. A pile of testimonials becomes a book when each of these voices finds its place in a thoughtful sequence. The voices in this book witness for what Portland is about — the nature of our destiny to be a village not a mob, to be a community of devotion, to be loyal to our future old and young, native and just-arrived, a lucky mix of backgrounds and beliefs all bound in this book in your hands. Open it, open us, and open our chance together." Kim Stafford, author of The Muses Among Us: Eloquent Listening and Other Pleasures of the Writer's Craft

Windows 7 Ultimate x32
BSOD after the Windows 7 Logo screen
Hello! I have this problem:
I have a HP Pavilion G6 notebook and Windows 7 Ultimate 32. The OS froze today while I was working and the only solution was to shut it down by holding the power button. I restarted it afterwards and after the Windows 7 logo screen my display shuts off (it's not just a blank screen, the monitor is off).
I tried using system restore and it gets me as far as the log-in screen and after I enter my password, it gives me another blank screen (this time the monitor is on, but the screen is blank) and ctrl+alt+del does not work, nor does anything else.
I am writing from safe mode right now, it seems to work just fine, but a normal start-up gives me a black screen. Can someone please help me ?

Press F8 after the BIOS posts right before windows starts to get to the boot option menu. Next restart. This is making sure we have a clean boot with out windows trying to trooble shoot it.

Cleveland suck at most sports, but finally we had this basketball savior, and what does he do? Backstabs us and goes to Miami Heat! Miami is where Wrestlemania will be, so I'd like to face him," he says.
The Miz also revealed that his favorite wrestling stars growing up were Ultimate Warrior and The Rock.
"When I watch his matches now I go 'oh those were disgusting', but growing up it had to be Ultimate Warrior," The Miz says. "I used to put streamers on my arms as a kid, run around with his make-up on me driving my mum nuts. Then in the Attitude era it had to be The Rock."

THE FIRST FROST in the north temperate zone will be happening before we know it, signaling the time for many birds to head for the southern skies, while their former homes and neighborhoods start exploding in delicious banquets of color. With winter only a short time away, soon, farmers will bring in the beginnings of the fall crops and start to enjoy the bounty of their harvest. By understanding life as an ever-present cycle of planting and harvesting— with our thoughts and actions as the seeds which produce the harvest— makes "you reap what you sow" a little easier to swallow. It's nearing harvest season: time for cooking up a more pro-active game plan towards unhealthy habits, and indulging in big second-helpings of self-forgiveness.
The Kitchen Tarot— see the Books I Wrote page on this website— when blended with the philosophy of numerology, provides organic food-for-thought for everyone about every month. From the tarot, September brings to the table the energies of the number Seven for the main course— the single-digit for September, when added to the year 2014 becomes 9+2+0+1+4=16, which reduces down to the single-digit 7— making this a time when you are asked to develop an inner-strength that will move you toward your destination, while keeping your instincts and emotions firmly under control. It's time for looking hard at what pleases you and harder at what doesn't, and taking action. Whatever has been limiting your movement lately, has also been expanding your capacities. Be more tolerant of imperfection, and don't let anybody make you feel guilty for wanting what you want. You have no right to be mean to yourself.
Like the classic Chariot tarot card of self-control, mastery, and overcoming obstacles, the Kitchen Tarot's card Seven— aka The Rolling Pin— speaks of taking decisive action this month. It is a signal that obstacles will be soon be swept from your path and will free you to advance, provided you refrain from acting impetuously. The Rolling Pin understands that we must take responsibility for ourselves, for who we become, for how we live each new day. The time for passivity is over. Unleash your freest free will, and evoke zest, exuberance, and joi de vivre, as the French would say, or "the love of life." When matters don't develop like you want, you have no right to whine, "Why is this happening to me?" unless you ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes your way. Indeed, when you meet life with love and a smile, you're certain to find love and something to smile about.
It's correct that we are what we eat. Equally important to the Kitchen Tarot is "you are where you eat." Feng Shui, the ancient philosophy concerning home & furnishings and locale, dubs the dining room the ʻwealth area.' This month, treat yourself and bring out the good stuff— the china, crystal, and silver— and relegate the plasticware to the garage. And whether with guests or by yourself, don't wolf down leftovers balanced on your lap in front of the dvr. Kitchen Tarot Feng Shui believes that every person is a house with a quartet of rooms: a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to hang out in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day— even if only to let in some fresh air— we're not a complete person.
Tend to dusty, old e-mails and re-connect this month, also. You may not get much of any one thing accomplished— and that's just fine. Now, the Rolling Pin's strategy for success is to tackle your problems from a different angle, and to live as spontaneous and varied a life as possible. Treat predictability and boredom as unpardonable sins. Be of good cheer, and allow the spirit of comfort and joy live in your heart every day.
And be purposeful and grand this month— don't bite off more than you can chew or behave like a blender set on high without a lid. Liquefy any lumps that threaten to sour your domestic peace and aren't cutting the mustard. Perseverance and integrity make for a winning recipe now. Sip and savor your inner-strength, and be of good cheer every day. Regard any setback this month as a hiccup, not a pathological distraction. Sometimes it takes repeated attempts to get a pasta sauce spiced just right. Be grateful for summer's interesting difficulties, and acknowledge how much smarter they made you. It's time to lose any attachment you have to pleasure and rewards that won't mean much to you a year from now.
September's Rolling Pin affirmation is: "I am heading in the right direction at a healthy pace."

Quiricus and Julietta
|Saint Quiricus and Saint Julietta
Tarsus, Asia Minor
Honored in
|Assyrian Church of the East, Roman Catholic Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches and Eastern Orthodox Church
|Major shrine
|Relics at Nevers, and in the monastery of Saint-Amand, Tournai.
|June 16, July 15 (Eastern Orthodox Church)
|From the story involving Charlemagne, Cyricus is depicted as a naked child riding on a wild boar.
|Prayed to for family happiness, and the restoring to health of sick children.
Saint Julietta (also known as Julitta (Greek: Ἰουλίττα)) and her son Saint Quiricus (also known as Kērykos (Greek: Κήρυκος), Qirqos (Ethiopic: ቂርቆስ), Cyriacus, Qyriacus, Kuriakos, Keryakos, Kuriakose, Cyricus, Ciricus and Cyr) were martyred in AD 304 in Tarsus, according to Christian tradition.
Some evidence exists for an otherwise unknown child-martyr named Cyricus at Antioch[1]. It is believed that the legends about Saints Quiricus and Julietta refer to him. There are places named after Cyricus in Europe and the Middle East, but without the name Julietta attached. Cyricus is the Saint-Cyr found in many French toponyms. The cult of these saints was strong in France after Saint Amator, Bishop of Auxerre, brought relics back from Antioch in the 4th century. It is said that Constantine I discovered their relics originally and built near Constantinople a monastery, and not far off from Jerusalem was built a church. In the 6th century the Acts of Cyricus and Julitta were rejected in a list of apocryphal documents by the Decretum Gelasianum, called as such since the list was erroneously attributed to Pope Saint Gelasius I.
According to legend, Julietta and her three-year (sometimes described as three-month) old Cyricus had fled to Tarsus and were identified as Christians. Julietta was tortured, and her three-year-old son, being held by the governor of Tarsus, scratched the governor's face and was killed by being thrown down by some stairs. Julietta did not weep but celebrated the fact that her son had earned the crown of martyrdom. In anger, the governor then decreed that Julietta's sides should be ripped apart with hooks, and then she was beheaded. Her body, along with that of Cyricus, was flung outside the city, on the heap of bodies belonging to criminals, but the two maids rescued the corpses of the mother and child and buried them in a nearby field.
An alternative version of the story is that Julietta told the governor that his religion could not be accepted by a three-year-old child, whereupon Quiricus testified to his faith, and mother and child were tortured before being decapitated.
Cyricus and Charlemagne[edit]
A story from Nevers states that one night Charlemagne dreamed he was saved from being killed by a wild boar during a hunt. He was saved by the appearance of a child, who had promised to save the emperor from death if he would give him clothes to cover his nakedness.
The bishop of Nevers interpreted this dream to mean that he wanted the emperor to repair the roof of the cathedral dedicated to Saint Cyricus.
In Italy, where they are known as Quirico (or Quilico, or Chirico) and Giulitta (or Giuletta or Giulietta ),[1] the place most commonly linked with the saints is the village of San Quirico d'Orcia in the Val d'Orcia area of Tuscany. There a twelfth- or thirteenth-century church (pictured right), based on an eighth-century baptistery, is dedicated to them.[2] The cult, however, is common in many parts of country and more than 200 churches, monasteries, localities, etc. with signs of devotion to one or both of the saints have been identified.[3] Other communes named after them are Corvino San Quirico (Province of Pavia), San Chirico Nuovo (Province of Potenza), San Chirico Raparo (Province of Potenza), San Quirico d'Orcia (Province of Siena), Serra San Quirico (Province of Ancona), and Santa Giuletta (Province of Pavia). Communes of whom they are patron saints include Borgo San Martino (Province of Alessandria), Cavaria in the municipality of Cavaria con Premezzo (Province of Varese), Cisternino (Province of Brindisi), Collesalvetti (Province of Livorno), and Trofarello (Province of Torino).
In parts of Piedmont, including Centallo, Asti and Murisengo, an unconnected Saint Quirico is venerated, regarded as a member of the Theban Legion.[1]
British Isles[edit]
There are a few churches in England dedicated to Saint Quiricus and Saint Julietta, including one found at Tickenham[4] and another at Swaffham Prior, in Cambridgeshire. In Cornwall, they can be found in the villages of Luxulyan and St Veep, and there was also once a chapel at Calstock dedicated to these two saints. In Wales there is a least one church dedicated to the saints, in Llanilid, but named as St. Ilid and St. Curig.
The cult of "St. Giric" was formerly much more widespread in Celtic Britain, however. His feast day was one of the principal Welsh holidays, as codified by the laws of Hywel Dda.[5]
Middle East[edit]
Cyriacus in particular is mentioned numerous times in the daily office of the Church of the East as attested in the large collection of prayers and services known as the Hudra. The mention of a saint from Tarsus in such East Syrian traditions suggests that there was considerable early sharing of martyrological traditions despite doctrinal differences between churches.
Some relics of St. Cyricus are preserved at St. Kuriakose Malankara Indian Orthodox Chapel at Ayyampilly, India. Even today, many people in India pray to Cyricus and Julietta for family happiness.

Tag: immigration reform (page 3)
The absurdly discriminatory immigration bill passed by the Arizona House passed the Senate yesterday. Absent a veto by the Republican Governor, Jan Brewer, it will become law.
The bill would require immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and require police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant day laborers or knowingly transport them.
This bill is a racial profiling horror show in the making. What to do? Protest? That ship seems to have sailed. Better: Boycott Arizona. No hotels, no airlines based there, no merchandise manufactured there. Cross the Grand Canyon off your summer travel plans. Forget Sedona and Scottsdale. Colorado is lovely this time of year.

The Arizona House has passed a bill similar to one passed by the state Senate criminalizing undocumented presence in the state. With some minor reconciliation changes, it will go to the Governor for signing into law. Included in the bill are provisions that:
- Create a new state misdemeanor crime of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document.
- Allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they're legally in the country.
- Ban so-called soft immigration policies at local police agencies and allow people to sue if they feel a government agency has adopted a policy that hinders the enforcement of illegal immigration laws.
- Prohibit people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day-labor services on street corners.
- Make it illegal for people to transport illegal immigrants if the drivers of vehicles know their passengers are in the country illegally and if the transportation furthers their illegal presence in the country.
This bill gives cops the power to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being undocumented. What a mandate for racial profiling. I hope people boycott Arizona and products made there if this bill gets signed into law. Let their tourism industry suffer the consequences. Visit New Mexico or Colorado instead. [More...]

Sen. Lindsey Graham is feeling his oats. His constituents ought to send him back to pasture. His latest: He threatens that if the health care bill passes, there will be no immigration reform this year.
"The first casualty of the Democratic health care bill will be immigration reform. If the health care bill goes through this weekend, that will, in my view, pretty much kill any chance of immigration reform passing the Senate this year," Graham said in a statement blast-emailed to the Washington press corps.
Graham's influence over the detainee trials and Guantanamo is going to his head. The Dems should refuse to listen to him.

The ACLU has released an issues brief arguing against the criminalizing of the undocumented. It's both unlawful and harmful to public policy.
The use by states and localities of criminal laws to go after undocumented immigrants simply for being undocumented is generally unlawful, because the federal government has sole power to regulate immigration.

Homeland Security Secret Janet Napolitano announced today the U.S. will temporarily halt deportations to Haiti.
Those with deportation orders will be allowed to remain in the U.S. Those held in detention centers will remain jailed, Homeland Security spokesman Matt Chandler said.
The Haitians who are here should receive TPS (Temporary Protected Status.) Homeland Security can designate a country for TPS based, among other things, on internal armed conflict, overwhelming natural disaster, or extraordinary temporary conditions preventing safe return of its nationals.
Several members of Congress who represent Haitian communities have been pressuring the Obama administration to give temporary protected status, or TPS, to Haitians illegally in the U.S. The designation would allow Haitians to remain and work legally in the U.S. The latest disaster gave new urgency to the lawmakers' demand.
According to Homeland security, 30,000 Haitians in the U.S. have orders to leave and about 160 are in detention.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday said the Obama Administration is ready to move forward with plans to create a path to citizenship for the undocumented.
Under the administration's plan, illegal immigrants who hope to gain legal status would have to register, pay fines and all taxes they owe, pass a criminal background check and learn English.
.... "Let me emphasize this: we will never have fully effective law enforcement or national security as long as so many millions remain in the shadows," she said, adding that the recovering economy would be strengthened "as these immigrants become full-paying taxpayers."
Unfortunately, Napolitano continued to express support for local enforcement of federal laws and other stricter enforcement procedures. More on her speech is available at the Center for American Progress, including a video of her remarks.

While President Obama said this week that immigration reform will have to wait until next year, his Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has been racheting up former Bush policies of punitive enforcement.
Janet Napolitano, defended the administration's assertive strategy against illegal immigrants and companies that employ them, relying largely on programs started under President George W. Bush.
....Ms. Napolitano said security problems on the border were inextricably linked not only to the drug trade, but also to the problem of illegal workers in far-flung cities across the country. The government needs to address illegal immigration at the same time it attacks the Mexican mafias, she said.

Does anyone remember Agent Orange? If this is what Janet Napolitano has in mind for Homeland Security, fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a wild and bumpy ride.
The U.S. Border Patrol plans to poison the plant life along a 1.1-mile stretch of the Rio Grande riverbank as soon as Wednesday to get rid of the hiding places used by smugglers, robbers and illegal immigrants.
If successful, the $2.1 million pilot project could later be duplicated along as many as 130 miles of river in the patrol's Laredo Sector, as well as other parts of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Are they going to force Sheriff Joe Arpaio's inmates to do the planting? [More...]

We have 12 million people living in this country without proper documentation, many of whom work, have families and pay taxes.
While Congress stalls year after year on providing a path to citizenship for them, and the radical right says there is no room for them, the Bush Administration has no problem playing favorites:
The American Embassy in Baghdad announced Thursday that it had expanded tenfold its program to help Iraqi employees of the American government here, who faced threats for their work, to obtain visas and ultimately citizenship in the United States.
Why should the Iraqis get special treatment? Because they provided aid to the U.S. in its unneccessary preemptive war that we entered under false pretenses?[More...]

Also via the Hill today:
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) must commit to helping illegal immigrants achieve citizenship or else risk losing the vital Latino vote in the general election, Hispanic Democratic lawmakers are warning.
If he does not promise so-called comprehensive immigration reform, the lawmakers say, the only other way to win over Hispanic supporters of his erstwhile rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), may be to pick her as his running mate.

No human being is illegal. Kudos to San Francisco:
The city of San Francisco has started an advertising push with a very specific target market: illegal immigrants. And while the advertisements will come in a bundle of languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese — they all carry the same message: you are safe here.
In what may be the first such campaign of its kind, the city plans to publish multilanguage brochures and fill the airwaves with advertisements relaying assurance that San Francisco will not report them to federal immigration authorities.
Mayor Gavin Newsom said the campaign was simply an amplification of a longstanding position of not cooperating with immigration raids or other enforcement. The city passed a so-called sanctuary ordinance in 1989.
The rationale behind it: (More...)

The Center for International Policy, a group whose mission is "promoting a U.S. foreign policy based on international cooperation, demilitarization and respect for basic human rights," has released two reports in the past month comparing the positions of the Republican and Democratic candidates on immigration, using their own words, statements on their websites and their votes in Congress. On the Republican side, McCain and Huckabee are included; for the Democrats, it's Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.
The presidential candidates of the Democratic Party share a common conviction that the country badly needs comprehensive immigration reform that offers a path to legalization for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. The policy positions of the Democratic Party candidates—Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama—stand in sharp contrast to those offered by the Republican Party candidates, with the partial exception of John McCain.

On ABC News tonight, Barack Obama reaffirmed his support for drivers' licenses for the undocumented, saying it's an issue of public safety.
He also earned the support of the Spanish newspaper, La Opinion, over Hillary:
"We were disappointed with her calculated opposition to driver's licenses for the undocumented, which contrasts markedly from the forceful argument in support made by Obama," wrote La Opinion's editorial board. "We understand that this is an extremely controversial issue but we believe there is only one right position and it is that of the senator from Illinois."
I strongly support drivers' licenses for the undocumented. But it's states that issue drivers' licenses. I wonder if Obama will take it a step further and work to get Congress to pass a law withholding federal funds from states that don't allow drivers' licenses for the undocumented. That's what the feds did when they wanted states to lower the speed limit to 55. Why can't we do it with drivers' licenses?

Join us for a rare chance to spend two immersive days with David Holmgren; ecologist, writer, world-leading thinker and co-originator of Permaculture.
This course is for folks who are ready to extend their working knowledge of biomimicry and permaculture design theory as applies to human habitats, with one of the greatest minds working in ecological design today.
An advanced permaculture principles and planning tools course, for anyone ready to take the next step in effective, hands-on permaculture design skills...
This course is designed for:
...and anyone else looking for the opportunity to extend their knowledge of how good ecologcial design can build and enhance sustainable living, community, farming and/or monetary systems.
Melliodora, David Holmgren and Su Dennett's home in Hepburn Springs, VIC. A superb example of small-acre permaculture design...
How will this course activate my Permaculture design skillset?
During this advanced permaculture principles course you be immersed in the theory of permaculture principles at a higher level than that in an Intro to Permaculture or Permaculture Design Certificate course.
This course is designed to be two days of learning that utilizes David Holmgren's vast experience and knowledge of natural systems and permaculture theory to skill you up with new planning tools that you can go on to use in your own design projects.
Facilitated by Nick Ritar, one of Australia's most active and applauded permaculture educators, students will engage in both theory and hands-on sessions that will solidify the in-depth theory of Holmgren's permaculture principles.
Students will learn new teaching and knowledge-sharing skills for working with permaculture principles in a range of scenarios. The planning tools used in this course are there to both enhance your learning experience and also to take away with you for your future design and teaching work.
This course follows directly on from our July Urban Permaculture Design Certificate, which David Holmgren will also do a full day of teaching on. We have a special package offer for students attending both courses, please see below.
David Holmgren is an ecologist, ecological design engineer and writer. He is perhaps most well known as co-originator of the permaculture concept with Bill Mollison. Through the spread of permaculture around the world, his environmental principles have exerted a global influence.
He is the author of several significant permaculture texts, the best known being Permaculture: principles and pathways beyond sustainability. David lives at Melliodora near Hepburn Springs, Victoria, with his partner Su Dennett. Together they run Holmgren Design.
