Deca Sporta is meant to be played outdoors under the glow of the summer sun. That's not all there is to the game, however -- the latest updates have revealed the colder side of the minigame collection. In both a recent Shonen Jump and official shots from the developer, they've revealed curling, figure skating, and snowboard cross, bringing the total of known games up to the magic number: ten!
Things are looking good graphically, there's a wide range of games included, and Deca Sporta is set to debut in Japan this December. The only thing left we could ask for is a release date outside Japan -- and we hope to hear about that soon.

"A "reservation" means nothing at this hotel."
They overbooked the hotel and their idea of compensating the overbooked guests was to put us up in a 2 star(at best) motel. They didn't bother to even try to contact any of us ahead of time to let us know they misrepresented that rooms had been reserved for us. I travel a lot and will not spend another dime at any Marriott hotel. "Reserve" a room at […] this hotel at your own risk, but plan on staying at a motel with outside facing doors, window a/c units and lots of noise including police sirens, car alarms and people yelling in the middle of the night. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"booked two beds beds, got one and cot. not happy"
I booked a room with two queen beds. Called the hotel to confirm after booking on Hotels.com. I arrived and was told I could only get a king bed and roll in bed. Very disappointing for the price I paid to have a bed blocking the bathroom and my assistant had to sleep on the cot in discomfort.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great spot in San Jose"
Get the valet parking package. It's definately worth the extra money if you plan on coming and going during your stay. Very nice hotel and a close distance to Levi's Stadium (I've stayed multiple times for the 2014 season already).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was very comfortable. The bed was very comfy. Walking distance if you have to do things in downtown sanjose.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good experience"
Had a great time. The room met my expectations; however there were a few things that affected the overall quality of my stay. First, there seemed to always be an extremely long wait for the elevators (even though there were four operational elevators), and it was very difficult to locate the stairs. Also, the wait for the valet parking was fairly long, […] but that didn't pose too much of a problem. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room was nice, the staff was helpful, and I got what I expected. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"place to Stay in San Juan"
Great location to night life and restaurants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place"
Nice place. Felt very new. Staff was professional and courteous. Man at the desk allowed me to print a hockey ticket without incurring the $5 business center charge which i appreciated. The walls are thin and i definitely heard the elevator. I am a sound sleeper but woke up to someone in the bathroom above turning the water on.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Place"
I love his hotel. The location is perfect and everything is in walking distance. The only bad part is paying so much for parking. You would think as much as your paying for a room they would let you park for free?!?!?!?Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent choice"
Excellent location and excellent customer service, didn't expect less! Also confortable beds!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Weekend hockey trip"
We came to San Jose to catch a hockey game and chose the Marriott because it was close to the SAP center so we could walk over. Since we drove up from LA, we had a very late (3am) check-in and it wasn't a problem at all. Quickly got a valet for the car and room keys so we could crash out. The room was clean and comfortable. Great water pressure in the […] shower, the bed was amazing. Check out was noon and we were going to a 1pm hockey game. You can keep your car in valet until 6pm so we didn't have to move it to go to the game. Wonderful visit, very accommodating hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel but parking is expensive and slow"
This hotel was nice and comfortable and the location is great but you have to pay $31 per day to park and it's a valet system that takes 20 minutes and you have to call in. That was frustrating. Everything else was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family Stay"
The corner room was wonderful. It would, however, since we stayed as a family, been nice to have a double bed AND a queen bed. But that's a quibble. Terrific location, efficient service, and easy check in and check out. Gave us a chance to really check out downtown San Jose - the museums, the restaurants, and the Saturday night scene, all within walking […] distance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good for price."
Pretty good location for downtown. Price good , but extra for parking & internet. Long wait for valet parking @$31. Per night. Rooms not very soundproof, can hear everything in halls, and adjoining rooms.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice enough"
The hotel was fine. Not over the top special. Comfortable and I felt safeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place. Hope to stay again soon."
We were lucky to have vouchers for valet parking, but even parking valet was a little bit of a challenge. The front entry was not so easy to access we had to especially at peak times. But other than that our stay we really enjoyable. Rooms were clean, service was great we even extended another night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"When in San Jose"
valet was the best valet service I have ever seen. Everything else was good and very pleasant except......Someone pranked us and called room service to our room at 7 am and the food cart lady relentlessly called, knocked on our door, called, yelled out side the door, called knocked on the door some more then called and hung up on me and then I called […] and they said not the service request came from my room and I said that was impossible because I was asleep. Pure Chaos at 7am on a Saturday morning. Awesome prank for who ever did it. Got me good. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"worth it"
Only Con....Hotel Parking, do not waste your time. Park in garage. Hotel parking staff is polite but the amount of back up and small area along with rude SJ drivers.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"They'll be back"
I booked this room for my corporate travelers and they were very happy. Centrally located, the property was nice, the staff was friendly, rooms were nice and comfortable. The only negative feedback was that the rooms didn't get dark enough. The price was a little high but I think that was due to late booking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
The staff was friendly and helpfull i would definitely recomend this hotelGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"No AC"
2 day stay and 1 1/2 without AC.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Conveniently located near everything. Lol"
The service was fantastic. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. The light rail was across the street and took my wife and I to Levi Stadium. It's downtown San Jose, so everything you need is within walking distance. If you can't walk, the light rail will take u there. I loved this hotel. BTW the Chicago Bears team stayed at this hotel […] before they beat my 49ers. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Extremely good service.Very convenient valet parking service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Find another hotel"
This is an old hotel! The rooms are outdated. Room service either doesn't deliver in a timely manner or forgets to bring everything ordered. Forget wakeup calls...sometimes you don't get them! This isn't indicative of a Marriott property...just this one!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by San Jose Marriott I want to apologize for your experience. We are in the process of renovotion. All our meeting rooms were renoved this past month. We are starting the exciting room renovation next year. I am sure you will be impressed with our design. On your next stay we can show you tre model rooms. We look forward to welcoming you back
"San Jose's Most"
I appreciated the attentiveness of the hotel staff. The location couldn't have been better-close to good restaurants, activities and the train to San Fran.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I loved every asspect of this stay . EXCEPT the parking situationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awful service"
Surprised with their quality of service for this level of a hotel. When I complained something about their service (because they didn't know anything about downtown SJ!!!), a guy at the front desk made all kinds of excuses. Never apologized!!! REALLY!?!? Aren't you Marriott??? And later on, I asked a concierge to bring us something to our room. I waited […] for 30mins but it didn't come. So I called the concierge again. I just said "I haven't got the thing I asked yet." Then this woman got somehow upset and never apologized!!! Maybe this is the way the employee at Marriott are trained- "never apologize to customers............" Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by San Jose Marriott We want to sincerely apologize for your experience. You and your business is extremely important. Though we did not live up to your expectation sthis time, we hope we can make it up to you on your next visit. iwill share your comments with the team.
"Felt unsafe"
Room and hotel were nice but the surrounding neighborhood was poor. $31 for parking was way too much:(Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I was nice to stay with Marriott , the price is very good for that quality and service Location is fantasticGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Looks can be deceiving"
Positives- The hotel was RIGHT downtown and was close to just about everything you would need. The exterior and lobby area was GORGEOUS! The staff were incredibly friendly and courteous...way above par. Negatives - This hotel charges for parking....and if you do opt to pay extra in your room rate (for parking), it is Valet. So, you have to have your […] car brought to you every time you need something. The rooms are OK....nothing spectacular at all. Not worth the money. They nickle and dime you TO DEATH!! I'm surprised they do not charge you to flush your toilet!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel."
Excellent stay. Will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent pad in San Jose"
Very close to the airport and in a lively area. Clean and efficient but bedding could be upgradedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worth it!"
We found this hotel to be extremely clean & quiet. Staff was friendly & helpful. Our trip was to go to the Improv, the location was great only about half a mile walk. Felt safe in the area of the hotel & the area we walked through to get to the Improv. Price was fair.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Satisfied Stay"
I have stayed at this particular Marriott Hotel numerous times and I was once again extremely satisfied with the hotel and all of its amenities. The staff was very professional and helpful and the room was wonderful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not 4.4 stars- just ok"
Perhaps I'm spoiled by the magnificent hotel properties in Las Vegas, but this wasn't a 4 star room. Not bad. Clean. Linens on bed looked a little tired, but clean. Hot water was piping hot, but turn it down just a little and it was cold? Service at valet and front desk excellent. Lobby is beautiful. Rooms just OK. Disappointed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by San Jose Marriott Thank you for your comment. We are always working hard to keep this hotel in an excellent condition. We are in the process of renovating our hotel. All our meeting rooms are completed and our rooms renovation will begin next year. We look forward to welcoming you again.
It's my second time staying here & may I say that I've loved both stays! The service is phenomenal & the room was amazing. My friends and I were looking for a hotel close to the Convention Center & the Marriott is right next door, which I love! I'm definitely coming back! I can honestly say I enjoyed my stay 100%Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very clean room with a view"
I was greeted as soon as I walked into the hotel. The room was super clean and was upgraded to a larger room with city view. I would stay at the San Jose Marriott again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Once you get past the craziness of the valet parking, everything was smooth sailings. Check-in was fast and easy. The hotel is walking distance to everything. From dinning out to heading out for dancing. Would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Me and my girlfriend had a great time at your hotel. Great Service very clean and very friendly, we would think about Marriot Hotel for our next date.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location ."
Great location. We went to see a concert at the SAP. It was a 15 minute walk to the venue. There are plenty of restaurants in the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel downtown."
Everything was wonderful. The room was extremely comfortable. The bed was great. The fitness center was good.Genuine Expedia guest review
Nice room for the money. I would recommend to a business colleague or friend. Thanks!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good weekend"
Stay was good. Was here for the San Jose Jazz Festival. Very convenient.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome service from staff."
Stayed three days and was very happy with the service.Genuine Expedia guest review
Room with two doubles was tight for four people. Over all every thing was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wedding in San Jose"
The hotel is very nice. Staff is great. The negative about our stay was that they didn't have any pay per view movies to watch while we were there. They said that they were adding them in about a week or two. The other negative was that there isn't a convenience store nearby for inexpensive water bottles & sodas. We got back to the hotel late after […] a wedding & the small store inside the hotel was already closed. We paid $9 for a water bottle & $4 for a soda through room service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location close to everything"
Room very nice. Close to everythingGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Downtown"
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again. The room was a reasonable size for having 2 beds and the beds were comfy. The staff was friendly. The outdoor pool & surrounding area was nice and we spent some time sunbathing before going downstairs to Tanq Bar. The bar was small but their food was pretty good for bar food, they also had a DJ […] there that night even though he was late. The next day we had brunch at Arcadia Restaurant which is also in the hotel, we loved it! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to museums"
Very comfortable. Every single staff was extremely polite and friendly. Always willing to help. My whole family enjoyed the stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall a great stay!"
All was great with the exception of 2 things. First we placed our breakfast room service order using the door tag and 1 of the 3 breakfast was not made/delivered. We were trying to save time by ordering room service because we wanted to be on the road by 8:30am. We almost made it with the exception of when I called to have a bellman come up to get our […] bags (which he promptly did)and for the valet to retrieve our car, it was not communicated to the valet to get our car even though they asked for my valet ticket number. All of this caused a delay in the start if our day by 45 minutes. Other than those 2 things, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Makes Sense
I am normally skeptical of "scientific" studies that purport to find a linkage between what seem to be unrelated phenomena, but this makes sense:
When a U.S. state becomes more liberal politically, its consumption of beer and spirits rises, researchers say.
Pavel A. Yakovleva and Walter P. Guessforda, both of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, said they estimated the relationship between political ideology and the demand for beer, wine and spirits using a longitudinal panel of all 50 U.S. states →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
PopeWatch: Battling Metaphors
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN–In a gesture at the Vatican's annual "Caravan of Peace," Pope Francis happily watched as two children at his side released a pair of white doves as symbols of peace and unity from the window of the Apostolic Palace.
But just moments later, two metaphors, one, of the world's unwillingness for dialogue, and the second, its utter hostility at the thought of compromise swept down on the hapless symbols of peace as tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square looked on.
One dove managed to break free from one of the metaphors, losing a few feathers in the brawl, symbolizing that, though the chance of peace in the world is not dead, that it is severely fragile to more dominant and negative attitudes. A crow playing the metaphor of the world's hostility toward compromise had a better grip on the other dove, pecking the symbol of peace repeatedly, reminding all those gathered that in the face of hatred, there really is not much of a chance for peace anywhere in the world, let alone the Middle East.
In the end, both symbols of peace got away, although the extent of their injuries wasn't immediately clear.
The boy looked upset at the bird's misfortune, prompting the pope to embrace him and pat his head. The young girl appeared to be cynically laughing at the turn of events, perhaps realizing for the first time in her short life that achieving peace is doomed to violence and struggle against the oppression of tyrants and Muslim terrorists. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

8. Yes, I can perform an exorcism but I do not think it would help Nancy Pelosi.
7. Yes, I used to smoke also. No I did not have to hide it from my wife as I have never been married.
6. Yes, not being married is a job requirement.

Sinister Rotary
Service Above Self
Motto Of Rotary
I always stop in at Ed Driscoll's blog each day. He is always worth reading. As a member of Rotary since 1985, go here to view the Dwight Rotary Club's web site, I have found one of his latest posts quite a hoot:
More seriously, if Keillor's rhetoric sounds sclerotic and reactionary, it's because he's tapping into a nearly century-old tradition of "Progressives" who see no evil on the left; but plenty bubbling up from the right. In his new book, The Revolt Against the Masses, Fred Siegel looks back at Sinclair Lewis's 1935 book, It Can't Happen Here, which posited that the Rotary Club(!) was poised to seize American power:
The heart of It Can't Happen Here is laid out in the opening chapter, which presents the local Rotary Club, with its Veterans of Foreign Wars tub-thumping patriotism and prohibitionist moralism, as comparable, on a small scale, to the mass movements that brought Fascism to Europe. Later in the novel, he has a character explain, half-satirically and half-seriously, "This is Revolution in terms of Rotary." In other words, Lewis's imagined fascism is little more than Main Street writ political. When he wants to mock Windrip, he describes him as a "professional common man" who is "chummy with all waitresses at . . . lunch rooms." For Lewis, fascism is the product of backslapping Rotarians, Elks, and Masons, as well as various and sundry other versions of joiners that Tocqueville had once celebrated as the basis of American self-government. There is more than a hint of snobbery in all this. The book's local incarnation of evil is Jessup's shiftless, resentful handyman Shad Ledue, who was a member of the "Odd Fellows and the Ancient and Independent Order of Rams." Ledue uses Windrip's ascension to rise above himself and displace Jessup from his rightful place in the local hierarchy of power.
If the book were merely an indictment of red-state nativist intolerance, there would be little to distinguish it from numerous other novels and plays of the 1920s that were part of "the revolt against the village." Lewis was hardly the only writer of the period to, Mencken-like, describe the average American as a "boob" or "peasant." What made It Can't Happen Here compelling was that it showed the boobs working through a familiar institution, the local Rotary, to become a menace to the Republic.
In a 2012 issue of Commentary, building on research for The Revolt Against the Masses, Siegel goes on to note that after World War II, the Frankfurt School picked up the left's attack against middle America:
"In the over-developed countries," wrote Herbert Marcuse, who became the most famous Frankfurt School theoretician of the 1960s, "an ever-larger part of the population becomes one huge captive audience—captured not by a total regime, but by the liberties of the citizens whose media of amusement and elevation compels the Other to partake of their sounds, sights, and smells." He was arguing, in effect, for greater social segregation between the elite and the hoi polloi.
Dwight Macdonald, the most influential American critic of mass culture in the late 1950s, concurred with the Frankfurt School. Writing in crackling prose redolent of Mencken's, he too argued that bourgeois prosperity was creating a cultural wasteland: "The work week has shrunk, real wages have risen, and never in history have so many people attained such a high standard of living as in this country since 1945," Macdonald complained.
"Money, leisure, and knowledge," he went on, "the prerequisites for culture, are more plentiful and more evenly distributed than ever before."
Macdonald, who was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale and associated with the anti-Stalinist leftists at Partisan Review, still couldn't bring himself to support the United States against the Nazis in World War II on the grounds that "Europe has its Hitlers, but we have our Rotarians."
My dad, who passed away in 2006, was a life-long member of the Rotarian Club, and president of his local South Jersey chapter for a year in the mid-1970s. At the time, I just remember him putting on a gray suit, navy blue rep tie and his omnipresent double-soled black Florsheim wingtips to trundle off to the weekly meetings.
In retrospect, I had no idea how Absolutely. Hard. Core. he was.

PopeWatch: Good Morning Father!
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN––Shortly after it was revealed that his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, defrocked 400 priests for sexual abuse of minors, Pope Francis decreed the immediate removal of priestly faculties for 300 priests from Europe and the Americas who were found in defiance of liturgical norms and persistently refused to greet parishioners with the traditional "Good Morning" liturgical salutation. "The rubrics are clear in this regard; the celebrant is to smile, holds his hands out widely and welcomingly, and say 'Good Morning,' in a jubilant voice, before continuing with the Penitential Rites," said a spokesman for the Holy See, defending the Holy Father's decision. He continued, "a committee has been established also to ensure that liturgical norms for homilies are followed strictly by all who preach at Mass." These norms, he explained, are somewhat more flexible: "the priest or deacon or layperson with a degree in theology or pastoral ministry has the option, in this case, of beginning with either a story or a joke. But beyond this, there is little wiggle room. Defying this would be the liturgical equivalent of deliberately changing a note in Marty Haugen's 'Mass of Creation' setting for the Eucharistic Prayer, the Canonical penalty for which is an automatic excommunication." The spokesman concluded firmly: "We are not at liberty to tamper with the Holy Liturgy of the Church, adding and subtracting as we see fit. That would make it more about us than about God." →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
PopeWatch: Priestless
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN––Days after abolishing the title of "monsignor," Pope Francis has now reportedly eliminated the practice of granting seminarians the title of "priest," a Vatican insider told EOTT this morning from Rome. According to a report Sunday by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, only single laymen over the age of 65 will from now on be eligible to receive the title of priest. "The title of priest is primarily honorific, and should normally only be granted to laymen as a reward for service to the church, such as having been an usher for more than four decades," Apostolic Nuncio to the United States Giovanni Martinelli told EOTT. "Or it should be given as a sign of a unique function a layman has performed in the church, such as being the guy who selects which family will walk the gifts up to the altar." The title was once granted by a bishop on the recommendation of God. But many have criticized the practice, saying that ordination naturally leads to an "air of careerism in the church." According to Martinelli, every nuncio across the globe has been asked to write to bishops within their territories to inform them of the pope's decision and to say that those who have already been given the title of priest can keep it; for now. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
PopeWatch: Communion Gate
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN––It was revealed today that senior assistants to Pope Francis conspired to snarl lines for Holy Communion in the basilica of a "rival Cardinal." In an EOTT exclusive, an anonymous source said that some of Pope Francis' top aides remained bitter toward supporters of an undisclosed papal candidate who came close to being elected at the March 2013 conclave. Information leaked from the papal election named Santos Abril y Castello, Archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, as one of the cardinals who had cast his vote for a runner-up instead of then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio. In official emails and text messages shown to EOTT today, Papal aides discussed Castello's non-support of Francis in bitter tones in the months following the election. In one email dated December 4, 2013, an aide to Pope Francis, Father Pietro Torelli mentions Castello's vote and jokes with another aide, "Time for some communion traffic problems in Maria Maggiore!" Many Maria Maggiore parishioners had complained to EOTT that there was a total absence of Eucharistic ministers at the Basilica on Sunday, causing people to wait an "unbearable" twenty to twenty-five minutes to receive Holy Communion. "It was more than I could take," said one frustrated parishioner. "Usually there are about ten Eucharistic Ministers, but there was only two. For the first time in my life, I walked out of Mass before receiving Communion. I usually run right out after receiving, but since I was at the end of the long and only Communion line, I knew that the parking lot would be a zoo if I did not get out of there soon." Pope Francis held a news conference today denying knowledge of the incident and promising that any of his aides involved in ordering Eucharistic Ministers at the Basilica to stay home from Mass would be dismissed. Vatican observers wonder if this ugly incident jeopardizes Francis' chances to repeat as TIME magazine's "Person of the Year" in 2014. "I am not a bully," the Pope sadly told reporters. "I don't know how I got that reputation. Maybe because I was once a bouncer? I don't know."

Well here in Central Illinois today it is -12.6 F with the high set to rocket up to -9 F. Lots of blowing and drifting snow. The courthouses and sheriffs' offices are closed.

PopeWatch: Year of Terror
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN––In his General Audience today, Pope Francis announced that he would be naming 2014 "the Year of Terror." "Since it is difficult to balance the various challenges of the papacy, while finding time to decide what to call this upcoming year, I have decided that The Year of Terror best represents what we ought to be focusing on this upcoming year," Francis said to the hundreds gathered in St. Peter's Square. "Trust me, I wish we could have another Year of Faith, but I have been told we cannot do this. I brought up the idea of a Year of Faith 2.0, but unfortunately that did not fly. Nevertheless, I believe that we have reached the consensus that we should name the upcoming year for what it's most certainly going to be." His Holiness went on to explain how people were very scared of things going on in the world like crashing economies, Obamacare, and violence in Africa and the Middle East, just to name a few. "We thought it would be a good idea to get focus back on the Church and acknowledge the paralyzing fear that God's people are suffering with." →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

Archbishop Thomas Becket: We are all God's fools, My Lord.

Hattip to Matt Archbold at Creative Minority Report.
From the only reliable source of news on the net, The Onion:
MACON, GA—Sources confirmed today that the brainwashed morons at First Baptist Assembly of Christ, all of whom blindly accept whatever simplistic fairy tales are fed to them, volunteer each Wednesday night to provide meals to impoverished members of the community. "Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in town who have fallen on hard times and are unable to afford to put food on the table, so we try to help out as best we can," said 48-year-old Kerri Bellamy, one of the mindless sheep who adheres to a backward ideology and is incapable of thinking for herself, while spooning out homemade shepherd's pie to a line of poor and homeless individuals. "It feels great to share our blessings with the less fortunate. Plus, it's fun to work alongside all the members of our [corrupt institution of propaganda and lies] who come out each week." As of press time, the brainless, unthinking lemmings had donated winter clothing they no longer wore to several needy families and still hadn't opened their eyes to reality. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

Are You Now, Or Have You Ever Been, A Traditional Catholic?
PopeWatch: Phil Robertson
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN–Just days after Pope Francis removed former La Crosse bishop Cardinal Raymond Burke from his seat on the Vatican's Congregation for Bishops, Francis today removed Phil Robertson, one of the stars of the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty and founder of Duck Commander, meaning the conservative patriarch of the "Robertson Clan" will lose his influential role in appointing bishops in the United States. Burke's removal came soon after he said that Pope Francis' comments suggesting that church teaching on matters such as abortion and gay marriage didn't need to be repeated were, "not altogether easy to interpret" and went on to say that, "we can never talk enough about the defense of human life." Many analysts are now suggesting that the Robertson's removal was due in part to similar comments he recently made to GQ magazine criticizing homosexuality. Among the many of the explicit comments made, Robertson told GQ that "Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong… sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. It's not right." The pope on Monday appointed Washington, D.C., Cardinal Donald Wuerl to the 18-member board to replace Burke and Robertson. Robertson, who was the consultant to the Congregation for Bishops, and seen by many in the Church as a conservative ally of Burke, will head back home to Louisiana. A spokesman for Robertson told EOTT that Robertson was sad to leave, and felt that both he and Burke were unfairly targeted for "preaching about the objective truths in the bible." He went on to say that "In them cases where homo sex unions have been legally recognized or dun been given legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear 'n emphatic opposition is a duty. We all gotta refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws and, as far as possible, from cooperation on the level of their application and things like that. In this area, everyone can exercise the right to conscientious objection." Continue reading
PopeWatch: Time Envy
From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
VATICAN–Sources close to the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI reported that the Holy Father has been silently obsessing over Time Magazine's recent choice of Pope Francis as "Person of the Year." "He got up as usual this morning," said one source, "said his morning prayers and celebrated Mass. Then he sat down to check Yahoo News with his morning tea, like he always does. When he saw…it…he just got really quiet for a long time. Then when he noticed I was looking, he smiled at me and said, 'good for him.' It was weird. He said that without really opening his mouth. Like his teeth were still together as he said it." Pope Francis is the third Bishop of Rome to be named "Person of the Year" by TIME, following Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. EOTT's source reported that Benedict then made another visit to his private chapel, where he remained for a good 20 minutes. He emerged and sighed deeply before going back to the Yahoo News site, which he reportedly read and re-read several times, at one point muttering under his breath, "Really? Molly Cyrus?" "When he finished reading all the comments and refreshing the page a couple times to make sure there weren't any new ones, he looked for other news sites and did the same thing," said the source. "After that he went to Amazon.com and started reading reviews of his 'Jesus of Nazareth' books. He seemed to feel better after that." →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
And They Called the Problem Maria!
Hattip to Instapundit. Matthew Belinke gives us a letter written by the Mother Superior of the future Maria von Trapp to her fellow Nuns about their errant novice:
So what can be done? I have been conducting frequent meetings on the subject with the most senior nuns, and a number of options have been proposed:
- KICK HER OUT. Vetoed. These walls were not built to shut out problems; we have to face them.
- FEED HER LESS. By limiting her rations, we may deny her the energy to do things like waltzing on the way to Mass or spinning around on mountaintops with her arms outstretched.
- ADMINISTER FREQUENT, SAVAGE BEATINGS. I am shocked at the number of times this was suggested. For shame, sisters. I know it can be truly frustrating when she will not stay and listen to all you say, but we are nuns! Nuns!
- LOAN HER OUT AS A NANNY TO AN ECCENTRIC NAVAL HERO. I don't really understand this plan. How is this going to make her a better nun? If anything, I feel that putting her in close proximity to children will exacerbate her own childish tendencies.
Sisters: I will consider our course. In the meantime, let us pray for a solution to this seemingly insoluble problem of Maria. We must have faith that we can climb every mountain, ford every steam, follow every rainbow, 'til Maria either stops being so annoying or falls in love with someone and gets married. I sincerely hope that the time soon arrives when we can turn our attention to more pressing matters. For instance, I hear the Nazi Party is quite popular nowadays? →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Greenpeace Lies About Santa!
Greenpeace has released the above video where an obviously fake Santa complains about global warming at the North Pole. Rejoice children of all ages, the video is a lie:
The inconvenient truth is that planet Earth now has the equivalent of 330,000 Manhattans of Arctic ice, Steve Goddard notes in the blog Real Science. Even before the annual autumn re-freeze was scheduled to begin, he says, NASA satellite images showed an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretched from the Canadian islands to Russia's northern shores. No polar bears were seen drowning.
As the Daily Mail reports, "A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year — an increase of 60%." The much-touted Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific froze up and has remained blocked by pack ice all year. More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship attempting the route was forced to turn back. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

Emayatzy Corinealdi on Journey from 'Middle of Nowhere' to Brink of Stardom (Video)
The 32-year-old has won a Gotham Award and been nominated for Indie Spirit and NAACP Image awards for her performance in Ava Duvernay's Sundance hit.
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to sit down with Emayatzy Corinealdi, a 32-year-old actress whose talent and beauty completely bewitched me while when I watched Ava Duvernay's Middle of Nowhere, an indie that was shot in 19 days for less than $500,000 and premiered at January's Sundance Film Festival, where Duvernay was chosen by the jury as best director and Corinealdi took her first steps on the road to stardom.
VIDEO: The Cast and Crew of 'Middle of Nowhere'
Apparently I was not alone, as Corinealdi's performance as Ruby -- an intelligent and ambitious young woman whose husband winds up in jail for a long period of time, leaving her own life stuck in the middle of nowhere -- has recently received a barrage of acclaim. She won the best breakthrough actor Gotham Award over high-profile competition including Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvenzhane Wallis -- five of that award's last eight winners went on to receive an Oscar nomination that same year -- and has also been nominated for the best actress Indie Spirit and NAACP Image awards.
The film, meanwhile, has been championed by an impressive roster of high-profile industry figures: Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett hosted its Los Angeles premiere; Oscar-nominated actresses Alfre Woodward and Diahann Carroll hosted another special screening of it; Oscar-nominated actress and honorary Oscar recipient Oprah Winfrey gushed about it over Twitter; and Sidney Poitier, the first African-American actor to win an Oscar, beamed in a photo with Corinealdi and her costar David Oyelowo at the Academy's Governors Awards.
Over the course of my conversation with Corinealdi -- the entirety of which you can watch at the top of this post -- we discussed a wide variety of topics. Among them: the story behind her unique name; her early training as an actor; why it meant so much to her to appear on the soap opera The Young and the Restless, one of her first credits; her big breakthrough at the 2010 American Black Film Festival; the present-day experience of an actor of color in Hollywood, and what Duvernay's African-American Film Releasing Movement (AFFRM) is doing to change it; her initial audition for Middle of Nowhere, at which she read for the part of the supporting part of Ruby's sister; the incredible way in which she found out that she'd landed the role of Ruby; the research that she did to prepare to play the wife of an incarcerated man (including reaching out to several women who have stood by a husband during a jail term); her history with the actor who plays her husband, Omari Hardwick; what she makes of the opportunities and accolades that the film has brought to her; and what sort of a career she hopes to have in the years ahead.
Emayatzy Corinealdi's name is pronounced Emma-yahtzee Core-nal-dee. I'm confident that she's going to be a major force in the world of film for a long time, so you'll have to learn it sooner or later.

Beyonce calls Blue Ivy her "best friend" in the March issue of Vogue, and it's easy to see why thanks to a leaked image from the multiplatinum singer's HBO documentary, "Life Is But a Dream," premiering Saturday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. EST.
With her blonde hair in braids, the 31-year-old "Dangerously in Love" singer gazes lovingly at her daughter, now 13 months. The documentary gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the notoriously private pop star's career and family life.
In one scene, Beyonce opens up about her miscarriage for the first time; her husband, Jay-Z, briefly mentioned it in "Glory," the rap song recorded within days of Blue Ivy's Jan. 7, 2012 birth.
"About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time," the 17-time Grammy Award winner says. "And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life."
PHOTOS: Beyonce and Jay-Z's sexy romance
"I picked out names," Beyonce continues. "I envisioned what my child would look like ... I was feeling very maternal."
Sadly, something went wrong in the early stages of her pregnancy. "I flew back to New York to get my check up -- and no heartbeat," Beyonce says. "Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat."
The tragedy unexpectedly reignited Beyonce's passion for songwriter, she explains. "I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I've ever written in my life," she says, without naming the track. "And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album. And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I've ever been through."
PHOTOS: Beyonce's pregnancy with Blue Ivy
Beyonce, who announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, was understandably overjoyed as she awaited Blue Ivy's arrival. "Being pregnant was very much like falling in love," she says. "You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone."
In her March 2013 Vogue interview, the "Love on Top" singer calls her firstborn child her "homey" and her "road dog."
"Family has always been important. I've always had my mother and my father and my husband," she tells the magazine. "But it's just ... Life is so much more than ... It's not defined by any of this [fame or money]."

Kimi: Cars will be similar
Kimi Raikkonen doesn't think the 2014 F1 cars will be particularly different to drive, despite a complete revamp of the technical regulations.This season sees a greater emphasis placed on engine power and fuel management with a switch to 1.6 turbo charged engines and some drivers have already expressed concerns at how easy it will be to spin the rear tyres with the amount of extra torque available. However, having sampled Ferrari's new car on their simulator last week, Raikkonen thinks the situation may have been exaggerated. "My feeling is that it's not going to be as different as people think, but I might be wrong," the Finn told Ferrari's official website. "Hopefully we'll...

Being a rap artist may not seem like the perfect background for playing undercover agent Sam Hanna of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service on CBS's 8 p.m. Tuesday sophomore hit "NCIS: Los Angeles," but LL Cool J — aka James Todd Smith III, or Todd, as he's known on set — has picked up a few skills along the way.
He says he's a "good shot" and is a few lessons short of being a certified scuba diver — helpful for playing a former Navy SEAL — but he did have to get better at one thing that just wasn't as important in the music world.
"The one thing I've had to learn the most? I guess, it's being on time," LL Cool J says.
On this day on the set of the show's Los Angeles headquarters, a refurbished Spanish mission built inside a soundstage at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, a new episode is just starting, one LL Cool J says will reveal more about Hanna's background.
"Without giving it up," he says, "we go into Sam's past in a real deep way."
Fans already know Hanna's Navy history and that he served in the Middle East. "That's the macro," LL Cool J says, "now we deal with the micro, which is what took place when he was in the Middle East, what took place when he was a SEAL, what took place in his life that shaped and molded him into the man he is today."
In the first scene, the agents are being briefed on their latest case, a missing military officer in possession of serious cyberinformation. Finding the officer isn't just a case of running and gunning, as LL Cool J has discovered.
"I've had to learn the whole idea of how every little piece matters, and how one spark can set a prairie on fire. It's actually more about the thought process than the running and gunning. The running and gunning comes later, after you put some thought into it."

Sept. 11 memorial to be open on night of anniversary
The plaza on World Trade Center site in New York will o be open to public for first time on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks
Associated Press
Northwest travel guides
NEW YORK — The Sept. 11 memorial plaza will be open on the night of the attacks' anniversary this year, the first time the general public will be able to visit Ground Zero on the commemoration date.
The plaza will be closed to the public during the remembrance ceremony and much of the rest of the day, but it will open from 6 p.m. to midnight for those who want to pay respects and view one of the most evocative observances — the twin beams called the Tribute in Light — from an especially "meaningful vantage point," memorial President Joe Daniels said in an email Thursday to victims' families.
A symbolic shift for a site that was inaccessible to the public for years after the attacks, the plan reflects its increasing openness as more gets rebuilt.
The memorial plaza, with its massive reflecting pools etched with the names of the dead, opened in 2011. But to control crowds amid construction elsewhere on the World Trade Center property, tickets and security screening were required until this spring.
Since the ticketed, underground memorial museum opened in May, open access has been allowed during days and evenings at the plaza, which joins the streetscape of lower Manhattan even as it serves as a place of remembrance protected by police and security guards. Museum officials said that security measures would be in place for the public hours on Sept. 11 but that they couldn't disclose details.
The night hours on Sept. 11 will provide visitors a solemn setting for looking at the Tribute in Light, which first appeared on March 11, 2002, to mark the six months that had passed since the attacks. It has become a moving, quietly powerful element of the anniversaries since.
It shines from a roof near the trade center, traditionally from sunset to dawn. Formed from 88 powerful bulbs positioned into two squares that echo the fallen Twin Towers, the light memorial reaches four miles skyward, according to the Municipal Art Society, a nonprofit group that orchestrates the $500,000-a-year project.
The museum will be closed to the public throughout the day.
The private anniversary ceremony will be held on the plaza in the morning, a tribute that has centered on reading of the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in the 2001 attacks, as well as recognizing the six people killed in the 1993 trade center bombing.
"Of course, remembering those we lost is something we do each and every day," Daniels noted in his message Thursday.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Title: White ash trees with bunched up leaves from Nevada TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have very young white ash trees (3' tall planted this winter) The leaves are crippled not opening up bunched up together and have a white powder. Is this aphids mites or what. Only on one tree. The rest have skeleton type leaves. What is the problem and how do I control it. I can send a picture if needed
Apparently, this is a problem that is going around with ash trees. Here is a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer on the same subject. According to this USDA Plant Profile map, White Ash is native to the area of Collin County, in north Central Texas, so that should not be a problem. If you follow the plant link, Fraxinus americana (White ash), to our webpage on this tree you will find this statement:
"Susceptible, like many ashes, to a wide variety of disease and insect pests; these usually are not a problem to vigorously growing trees. Seedlings will tolerate quite a bit of shade, but if a full crown is desired, a generous amount of sun will be necessary as the tree matures. Prune in fall."
From this USDA Forest Service website, here is an article on White Ash. Scroll down to the Use and Management section, where you will get a fairly long list of things that can happen to the members of the Fraxinus (ash) genus. The most comprehensive study of pests on ash trees is this one from wiki.bugwood.org.
Sadly, everyone seems to want ash trees, because they are fast-growing and make good shade trees, but they are short-lived.

Delegates at the 20th World Petroleum Congress believe the energy industry will still be able to sustain global demand in 10 years' time, according to research from GL Noble Denton.World Petroleum Congress, Doha, - 6 December, 2011: Oil and gas industry professionals are confident in the industry's ability to sustain the global demand for energy 10 years from now. According to a poll conducted yesterday at the 20th World Petroleum Congress in Doha, 86% of participants said that the industry will be able to meet estimates for increased global energy consumption, while 14% thought that it would not.The Industry Snapshot Poll was conducted by global independent technical advisor GL Noble Denton on the first day of the World Petroleum Congress, which is expected to attract 12,000 industry professionals from across the world. The poll was also completed online by senior professionals from across the industry.Pekka Paasivaara, Member of the GL Executive Board, said: 'The result of this poll shows the sector's confidence in its ability to meet the challenges of the growing global demand for energy. While oil and gas reserves are still plentiful, the mounting technological challenges of accessing these resources in harsher environments have been an area of concern for some sector professionals. Despite this, it is encouraging to see that confidence in the industry's ability to secure future supply safely, efficiently and sustainably remains high.'GL Noble Denton is conducting three Industry Snapshot Polls this week, one for each full day of World Petroleum Congress. Delegates are also being asked to have their say on whether the oil and gas industry is doing enough to encourage future generations to join the sector, and on the long term potential of unconventional gas as a solution to the world's requirements. To participate in the poll, visit GL Noble Denton at stand number 9216. Participants will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad 2 at the end of the show.The results of the polls will be updated daily at www.gl-nobledenton.com.

Most of Northern Ireland's traditional dishes have their roots in
. This simple peasant fare has endured amid a profusion of fusion cuisine and contemporary twists. So check out these hearty classics and give your mouth a bit of a treat.
Potato bread
: It's the humble spud elevated to gastronomic heights. This thin square of loveliness is at the heart of every Ulster Fry and a must-buy foodie souvenir.
Wheaten bread
: A healthy brown bread made with wholewheat flour and delicious toasted with melted cheese or buttered and served with a big bowl of steaming broth or fine slivers of smoked salmon and a lemon wedge.
Soda bread
: First baked in 19th century Ireland when local peasants added baking soda to help the dough rise. The result is a thick, stodgy bread best served fried or toasted with a big dollop of butter.
Ulster Fry
: Often dubbed a 'heart attack on a plate', the humble Ulster Fry has entered the pantheons of classic local cuisine. Take the common fry - sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato - and add a hefty heap of potato bread and soda bread. It's as simple as that.
Pastie Supper
: Not to be confused with the pastry-wrapped Cornish variety, this local version is a patty-shaped concoction of mashed pork, potato and herbs in a deep-fried crispy coating. The pastie has been immortalised by Van Morrison in his song
A Sense of Wonder
. Note: Anything with the word 'supper' attached means it comes with a portion of chips.
: A delicious comfort food dish of potatoes mashed with lots of butter, warm milk and chopped spring onions or, as we call them, scallions.
Irish Stew
: Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, this hearty peasant dish is best served in a traditional pub accompanied with a pint of Guinness. The dish gets an early mention in Lord Byron's tiresome tome
The Devil's Drive
: Salty dried seaweed usually sold in small paper bags at markets, most famously the Oul Lammas Fair held each August in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim.
Fish & Chips
: Whiting, plaice or cod slathered in batter and deep-fried to a crispy finish. Serve with a shovelful of chips and douse the lot in gallons of salt and vinegar. Best served wrapped in paper and eaten with your fingers.
Tayto crisps
: Ask any local to name their favourite crisps (or chips) and you'll probably hear '
Tayto Cheese and Onion, mate
'. Made since the 1950s at Tayto Castle, Tandragee, these distinctive yellow packets with Mr Tayto logo have become an unlikely Northern Ireland icon. Tours of Tayto Castle are available; see
Armagh Apples
: Eve's scrumptious orb is grown in the aptly-named Orchard County and available as a cider, soft drink or - heaven forfend - humble fruit. May's Armagh Apple Blossom Festival cultivates the crop with lots of tasty and revealing events and eats
: As an island nation, we're not too hot when it comes to raiding Neptune's larder. However, some restaurants do a great line in fish dishes - most notably the Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast and Dundrum - and annual foodie festivals such as the Hillsborough Oyster Festival, Belfast Maritime Festival and National Seafood Week also celebrate the sea's bounty.

Also there are paid links on this site. There is no obligation on your part to purchase any products advertised on this website.
I don't know if I'm late doing this (or even early?), but I've started to think about my goals for 2015. And top of the list will be completing the following to-do list. Our downsized home is not in a bad state of repair (apartment from the bathroom & the carpets), but it does need a little updating.
The complete list of items to accomplish:
+ Paint throughout
+ Replace flooring throughout
+ Fully replace family bathroom (take out bath and add walk in shower)
+ Fix En-suite shower (it falls off!) and re-grout tiling
+ Add shoe storage to hall
+ Replace light fittings in living area & kitchen
+ Fix Bedroom #2 light fitting
+ Add x 2 blinds to living area
+ Replace or update kitchen units
+ Add dishwasher (kitchen)
+ Replace sink unit, hob and oven (kitchen)
It's not a huge to-do list – I'm hopeful we can get all the work completed fairly early in the New Year – the main issue is the order in which to do everything as we're working in such a small space. At the moment I'm thinking bedrooms, bathroom, en suite and then living area/kitchen, but this may change.
We took the ferry to Liberty (and Ellis) Island yesterday. We didn't go up the Statue, but still had a lot of fun walking around the base of it! The view of Manhattan is pretty special too.
Ferry tickets $18 (each) – pre-booked with Statue Cruises
Hi Guys! We arrived safely Saturday afternoon and we seem to have been on a non stop walk ever since! I think my November goal to walk 15 miles+ has already been achieved!
We went to see the NY Jets play football on Sunday (Go Jets – sorry DB40!), and then Monday and Tuesday were spent in and around the shops! I purchased a couple of tops to add to my wardrobe, but so far that's it.
I'm tracking our spending on this trip (as usual) and will do a full round-up when we get home. We have a mini kitchen in our hotel room (+ a hotel with breakfast included) and this is helping to keep the food costs down.
I hope everyone is ok! Back soon with a few more photos

Music Director Gustavo Dudamel and President Deborah Borda today announced the 2013/14 season of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This new season, the Orchestra's 95th, celebrates both the 10th anniversary of the opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall and Gustavo Dudamel's 5th year as Music Director.
The pillars of this celebratory period, with 13 new commissions, 11 world premieres, 4 U.S. premieres and 4 West Coast premieres, include:
- Inside Out - a series of performances marking the 10th anniversary of Walt Disney Concert Hall
- The final production of the three-year Mozart opera project with Così fan tutte
- The return of Minimalist Jukebox, a festival guided by Creative Chair John Adams with citywide partners
- TchaikovskyFest - the return of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela co-presenting the complete Tchaikovsky Symphonies with the LA Phil, all conducted by Gustavo Dudamel
- Beethoven with Andsnes, the second installment in this three-year exploration of the composer's music
- Brahms Project with Emanuel Ax
- The conclusion of András Schiff's survey of the solo keyboard music of Bach
"The tenth birthday of Walt Disney Concert Hall is a wonderful reason for our great city of Los Angeles to celebrate," said Gustavo Dudamel, Music Director. "Our friend and colleague, Frank Gehry, lovingly built this world-renowned masterpiece as a living room for the people, and we get to share it with you through our music making. This season, I am excited by all of our musical offerings, from the works that inspired me to become a musician to the numerous commissions and premieres that have become a trademark of the LA Phil. An additional delight for me is to have my two musical families, the LA Phil and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, working together once again - this time with Tchaikovsky. As a young boy, I discovered Tchaikovsky through great recordings and he has had a very special place in my heart ever since. I hope that you will join us to celebrate this great hall and great music."
