Rush Limbaugh is Wrong, Karen Finney of MSNBC is Nuts: Pope Francis and Capitalism Comments
Do you get it Karen Finney and E.J. Dionne? It is not "progressive" to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life! The lie of your brand of political progressivism has been exposed, rejected and dismissed by the Pope whom you think you can use to bolster your political agenda! Also disturbing were words spoken by Rush Limbaugh. His contention, offered on the EIB Network, that some of ... Continue Reading

I understand that some may not fully trust our past Popes and our present Pope Francis.
My humble advice to you: PRAY. Seek SINCERELY The Desires of God and you WILL FIND. If not, you will NEVER be wholly part of The Church for all time, NEVER be fully taken up into Christ's Body ... NEVER. Some little insignificant (we imagine that it's significant) thing will come up (if it hasn't as yet) to pull on your strings (temptation) to get you going against Church/Pope (sin). Pull yourself up and out of this snare set by the devil.
The Truth is very simple: Our Popes represent Holy Father on earth. They "proclaim Christ's doctrine infallibly" (Lumen Gentium 25) [Bible: Matt. 16:17-19; Jn. 21:15-17;Lk. 22:32].
How do you regard God as Heavenly Father? And are you thankful for Him bestowing to The Pope "The Keys of The Kingdom of Heaven"?
FLEE REBELLIOUS SPIRITS! SCATTER FALSE PROPHETS! Rebellious angels are cast down to hell by God (Mt. 25:41). Do you think Jesus' Way is that we rebel (against The Kingdom) on earth only to be ushered into heaven judged obedient to God? NO. False prophets and disciples will have the same fate as the rebellious angels.
SO ... strive ALWAYS to be obedient to The Pope, love him, pray for him. He is there to guide us. Please, if your desires do not conform to his, if you do not love him, if there is a lack of trust in him, PRAY. Bring to The Altar a clean heart. Ask for God's Forgiveness in His Mercy.
"Let us keep firm in the hope we profess, because the one who made the promise is trustworthy." Hebrews 10:23
"May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge of him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, how rich is the glory of the heritage he offers among his holy people, and how extraordinarily great is the power that he has exercised for us believers; this accords with the strength of his power at work in Christ, the power which he exercised in raising him from the dead and enthroning him at his right hand, in heaven, far above every principality, ruling force, power or sovereignty, or any other name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. He has put all things under his feet, and made him, as he is above all things, the head of the Church; which is his Body, the fullness of him who is filled, all in all." Ephesians 1:17-23
God bless you all.

Marxism and organized religion are mutually-exclusive ideological constructs.
But let's cut Limbaugh some slack. Rush is well overdue for a colonoscopy, as previous attempts to perform the procedure have been unsuccessful due to a chronic cranial obstruction.

I must say that I was disturbed by the Pope's comments regarding capitalism. Some have suggested there was a problem in translation. Maybe this was true as the English version clearly advocated for some kind of socialist system.
Many defenders of the Pope's comments have been excoriating those who disagreed as ignorant, etc. Rather than resorting to vitriol, perhaps you would better serve the Catholic community by asking the Pope to clarify his comments.

While there are great comments here, regarding the Church, it's teachings, conservatism and so called liberalism, the one sad note, is how many people are taken in by Rush Limbaugh. It makes me really worry for this country, because he does not believe what he says, nor care.
I once saw an interview with Glenn Beck, who was speaking off the cuff, and said, "I am a comedian and satirist , I can't help what people think about what I say ." The same can be said about Rush. I also saw a video of an interview done with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell after the Roe v Wade decision , in which they told the reporter that it was a "Catholic issue". I guess politics does make strange bedfellows.
I have been alive long enough, and Catholic long enough to know that the Church is composed of human beings, who never agree on anything. Thank God that once in awhile Popes come forward, who try to bring us back to basics. Not all of them have been so saintly. And the Church goes on. Mass can be said anywhere, as long as the Eucharist is there. Isn't that what it's about for most of us? The Ten Commandments from the father, and His presence from the Son. So simple.

I am just returned to the United States from the American Missionary Congress in Maracaibo Venezuela. There were more than 3,000 participants., mostly young men and women from the American continent, excited to be missionary disciples in permanent mission with heart felt desire to share their faith. They were profoundly moved when speakers made reference to The Joy of the Gospel; Francis has given them a direction for how to be missionary disciples.
I suggest instead of continuing to engage in polemics we begin to "contemplate the city" and become personal friends with poor people who can evangelize us. This is why Francis, Bishop of Rome, wants a poor church for the poor.

Wonderful just wonderful article. I am pleasantly surprised to find that someone who writes something that ends up on the internet finally gets what Bergoglio is talking about. This is the first time I read something from you.
But after reading many comments I can't help but having a very bad feeling in the center of my stomach. The very feeling of observing intolerance in its core, the feeling one gets when one is about to witness an injustice.
Cardinal Bergoglio used to cook, walk and bring a meal to someone who was living on the streets and sit and eat with them, maybe an older person, maybe a child, maybe just any person really.
When the crisis hit Argentina in 2001-2002 and the outskirts of the city became home for hundreds of unemployed people, him as a Cardinal appointed dozens of priests to live and to build churches inside these horrible slums, he said that the Church must touch people, the Church must get dirty and walk those mud streets where people in the slums live, therefore we must all touch people.
Why are we so quick to judge other people's struggles? We truly ignore the circumstances that led to where they are today, therefore it is ignorance, fear. Nobody said it is easy being a Catholic but it is certainly easier being a Catholic with white gloves and we all know that those who wear white gloves do not shake that many hands. It is as if in this society people chose to live their lives through a glass container or as we say in Argentina "living inside a ravioli", all sealed up from any harm or ugliness from the realities of the outside world.
And who are we to say that them won't be us tomorrow?
Just as you mentioned above, the Pope is not talking about politics yet I dare any of the commentators to write anything without the words: left, leftist, right, progressive, liberal conservative, secularist, Marxist...
I am puzzled at the latest reactions towards him from Catholics in the United States. Maybe I was blessed with a different kind of Catholicism, maybe this is why I understand Bergoglio's words.
In a recent interview he was asked "who is he", he said "a sinner".
I think it will do all of us good to start remembering and admitting that first.
God bless you all.

In an effort to be a faithful Catholic I an bound by my faith to respect all popes of my Church, however John XXIII is first and last pope that I so greatly admired to the point that if there were saints on Earth I thought he had to be one among them. And since Pope Francis has been emplaced in the chair of Peter, he has seemed me to have variously expressed himself as another.
Such as the pope's reflection on the ways of Jesus as in what one does to the least of God's children that he has done unto the Son of God---the Golden Rule vastly different than Rush Limbaugh would have it for the Church to be a servant of what Rush venerates as sacred capitalism. And then just yesterday the pope smilingly revealed to some people gathered to meet him that as a young man he had been a bouncer in a bar---wow, the speaker from the chair of Peter also spending some youthful years in a bar as has done a humble U.S. Speaker of the House Boehner in his dad's.

Wow! Deacon, judging by the vitriol of those who post here, you have set the world on fire. You and I have agreed on some discussions but mostly disagree. I am happy to count this as one where we agree.
Make no mistake, if one were to label me, I am one of the leftists mentioned. Sort of an ill-fitting, ugly sweater to wear but it keeps me warm.

I totally concur with the comments of "Bill Sr." I am a conservative republican and a conservative Catholic. While I do not demand the universal return of the Latin Mass, I am very happy that I had the opportunity to experience the Latin Mass as a young girl. I am sad that my own children have never experienced the beauty of the liturgy. I regret to say that they also experience a watered down instruction of their Catholic religion. When they were in school, the Catholic schools had pretty much been imbedded with priests and teachers that became smitten with social justice and moral relativism. I am still very uncomfortable with Pope Francis and I can really understand why Rush would make the comments that he did.

If the most poor and defenseless, the unborn, are not defended, then everything else is Marxism.
In fact, I dare say, that Jesus would like ALL other charities to cease if we are not making abortion the number one charity.
Because if a baby is not born, then everything else is mute.

Humanitarian Emergencies: An Innovative Funding Formula?
In a recent speech to his governing board, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres made an intriguing but little-noticed proposal — that the humanitarian response to major emergencies should be partly funded in the future by assessed rather than voluntary contributions.
But what exactly did he mean by that?
Since its establishment in 1951, UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, has had to beg for almost every dollar that it spends in protecting, assisting and finding lasting solutions for the world's displaced people. Each year, the organization issues a Global Appeal, asking governments and other donors to contribute to the UNHCR budget. When new and unexpected crises erupt, UNHCR is obliged to launch an emergency appeal, hoping that donor states are willing and able to provide UNHCR with additional resources.
There are a number of reasons why this longstanding system of resource mobilization has become an increasingly inadequate one.
First, emergency appeals are almost never fully funded, and in many cases the response falls well short of what is required to provide refugees and other displaced people with their basic needs. The current refugee emergency prompted by the armed conflict in the Central African Republic, for example, has received only one third of the funding requested by UNHCR. At a time when so many other crises have erupted — Iraq, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine — humanitarian funds seem certain to become even more tightly stretched.
Second, the voluntary system of funding encourages states to earmark their contributions to UNHCR. Rather than providing the organization with core funds that it can use in the way it thinks best, donor states are able to specify the countries and activities they wish to support. In 2012, for example, only a quarter of the funds received by UNHCR came in the 'unrestricted' category. The evident disadvantage of this arrangement is that some countries and activities are more popular with donors than others, leaving UNHCR unable to prioritize those activities which it considers to be the most urgent.
A third reason for considering alternative ways of humanitarian funding relates to the very limited number of states that make significant contributions to the UNHCR budget. According to the data from 2012, more than 70 per cent of the organization's budget was provided by just 10 donor states, led by the United States, member states of the European Union and Japan. While the Syria crisis has prompted 'non-traditional' donor states in the Middle East to increase their contributions to UNHCR, the organization's funding base remains a very narrow one.
Fourth, the voluntary system of funding for emergency operations inevitably leads to inter-agency competition within the UN system, with UNHCR vying for resources with organizations such as UNICEF and the World Food Program. While such competition arguably acts as a stimulus for operational efficiency — donor states are always looking for the best value for money from the agencies they fund — it can also hinder coordination and encourage humanitarian agencies to spend considerable amounts of time and money in the effort to gain greater visibility.
As a result of these issues, recent years have witnessed some significant developments with respect to humanitarian financing in general, especially with the establishment of 'pooled funding' arrangements such as the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Managed by the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance, CERF collects funds from donors on a continual basis, setting them aside for the immediate use by humanitarian agencies when new emergencies strike. As well as disbursing funds very rapidly, CERF is also able to target resources at the world's most neglected and underfunded crises.
In his recent speech, Antonio Guterres suggested that the UN should now consider the establishment of a 'super-CERF' which would provide UNHCR and other humanitarian agencies with immediate funding when particularly large-scale crises erupt. As with the UN's peacekeeping operations and other core functions of the world body, the super-CERF would be funded not by voluntary contributions, but by levies on member states based on their national income.
Such a fund would not be a panacea to the problem of humanitarian financing. As one analysis concludes, "arrears are a chronic problem for the United Nations. Many poorer nations cannot afford their full assessment. Other countries…have delayed or withheld payments for reasons unrelated to their ability to pay."
Even so, the Guterres proposal has a number of important attractions. It would help to improve the quantity and timeliness of humanitarian funding. It would make such funding more predictable and enable the most urgent humanitarian needs to be met. And it would increase the number of states contributing to major emergency operations, thereby reinforcing the principle that the international community as a whole has a responsibility towards people whose lives and livelihoods are at grave risk.

Taming a Wild Country | Peer to Peer Review
Looking back, the irony is so heavy-handed that it seems contrived. As my colleagues and I were preparing for our MOOC on Copyright for Educators and Librarians, which launched for the first time last week, the only resource that we wanted to use but could not successfully negotiate the permission for was Susan Bielstein's book about negotiating permissions. It would have been great for us and, I am convinced, for the Press if we could have offered a single chapter of it for our over 8,000 MOOC participants to read. In the event, however, we rediscovered the fear and lack of sound business sense that grips the publishing industry, but also discovered the richness of the free resources that were available to us.

Study: Journal Bundle Discounts Vary Widely Across Institutions
Most academic librarians are familiar with the 'big deal' bundles offered by large academic publishers, which grant access to a large number of journals from a particular publisher at a discounted rate. And many will also be familiar with the opacity surrounding those deals, which are often negotiated on a school-by-school basis with confidentiality clauses in place. A new study of the economics of these bundle deals suggests that variations in how these bundles are priced for different institutions mean that they are a better deal for some schools than others.
Can Libraries Help Stop This Madness? | Peer to Peer Review
The business of university press monograph publishing has always been madness, and changing conditions have made it even less sensible than it was. Yet any suggestion that there should be fewer university presses or that they should refocus their missions is greeted with shouts of dismay that are usually reserved for heretics and anarchists. Maybe we should remember that oft-quoted definition of madness—doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.

While BookCon was a hit with many, bringing thousands of readers out to fill the show floor and rub elbows with their favorite authors, the event was not without some hiccups.

Slick Rick - Need Some Bad
Artist: Slick Rick
Producer: DJ Premier
Album: The Sitter Motion Picture Soundtrack
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 11 votes )
You'd think that an individual as accomplished (and as slick) as Slick Rick would have no trouble whatsoever getting it in with fly honeys, but apparently he goes through dry spells just like the rest of us. But the hip-hop legend's sexual frustration is our gain, as it (along with, perhaps, the prospect of a little extra scratch) has inspired him to break his silence with bawdy new single Need Some Bad. Recorded for inclusion on the soundtrack LP to Jonah Hill movie The Sitter, the record finds Richard Walters coming together with fellow East Coast titan DJ Premier to raise awareness of the affliction colloquially known as "blue balls." Over Primo's bouncing boom-bap grooves and old-school cuts, the Bronx-by-way-of-London rhymesayer comes with his trademark, lighthearted narrative flow, stepping into a variety of roles (Including that of his own mother: "Don't you have a steady piece to smash yet, son?") as he details his epic quest to get his rocks off. The Sitter soundtrack is available now on iTunes, and fans will be able to catch the film in theaters everywhere starting this Friday, December 9.

Question & Answers
Legendary Hunter
I have 5-15 legendary pokemon, but I want to get all the legendary pokemon. (this is mostly for shadow775, but any one can answer this)
Answer from: ;)
Use street pass or passwords to obtain legenderies
Answer from: Game Freak
You have to find a SPARKLING yellow catapult at the end of any area. Meadow, Desert, Lake etc. etc. There are all different legendaries in different places. There is also only a 5% chance of getting a Sparkly Boss Catapult, though. You can get the rest by doing streetpass. About 4 more and I get Jirachi!! Hope I helped DARRON! And good luck collecting all the legendaries!
Answer from: DARRON
So , its me again. I got either exactly 15 or more LEGENDARY pokemon. I got a rayquaza today, and got my but kicked by kyroem today.
Answer from: like a pro
When u beat ex6 there'r more legendarys like mew mewtwo arceas oh and sorry for bad spelling
Answer from: DARRON
It's alright Like a pro, I got quite a few LEGENDARY pokemon today, 2 Reshiram, Cobalion, 3 Enties, and more. Oh ha , uuuuuuuu. sorry for spelling kyurem wrong. I HAVE OVER 30 LEGENDARY'S!
Answer from: Joshua
I m trying hard to get Reshiram in a cave but I get a lot of Dialga but I v once u get Virizion in any forest and Terrakion in any canyon u can get Cobalion for free without fighting him cool!
Answer from: ZekromTamer103
If you still need Kyurem try to battle him with Reshiram or a Pokemon that knows Sacred Sword and Heatran can help too. P.s. (Kyurem's weaknesses are Fighting Type and Fire Type.) Plus you could use a attack then dodge strategy.
Answer from: Weakness Master
Kyurem: Fighting, Rock, Eletric, Fire, Dragon
Arceus [normal]: Fighting
Mewtwo: Ghost
all weaknesses!
Answer from: Dielga
Go to an certain to find a certain legendary. For exapmle, Groudons are found in Magmas and Regigigases in Deserts. Only 1/20th of the time, the yellow boss catapult at the end of the level will be the shiny catapult necessary to obtain a legendary. Legendaries will always befriend you everytime you beat them, as opposed to the occasional boss pokemon at the end of the stage. I've heard that if you run into less shiny pokemon (Not the different color scheme pokemon, but the physically shiny traited pokemon that you befriend everytime you defeat) Will increase the chance of the shiny catapult.

If you're looking for something new to add to your Netflix queue, Don Draper has arrived. After months of waiting, "Mad Men" is now available for streaming.
Earlier this year, Netflix and Lionsgate announced a multi-year syndication deal. The result of that partnership means that you can instantly view all four seasons of the critically acclaimed cable show. New seasons will be added, as they are completed airing on the AMC network.
"Mad Men" stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jared Harris, Rich Sommer, Aaron Staton, Robert Morse and Kiernan Shipka.

"Mad Men has been and continues to be a representation of TV at its best and Netflix is proud to be the syndication home for this acclaimed series," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer.

When navigating the topic of abuse and harm in the church, it's easy to trip up on the Christian principles of grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Really, it can seem difficult to hold onto the importance of safety, justice, and healing for victims of abuse and harm while also holding tightly to the gospel, because the gospel seems to level the playing field (we're all sinners) and offer a universal promise (grace and forgiveness for even the chief of sinners). How then can we make a dis … [Read more...]
3 Characteristics of Authentic Forgiveness (Sans Denial)
Five Problems With Grace
I know, I know. If there is anything sacred in the American church today, especially among younger, post-evangelical, and charismatic Christians, it would be the concept of grace.While the neo-Calvinists certainly talk about grace - doctrines of grace, irresistible grace, saving grace, common grace, etc. - they are often not so gracious, you know, to people who don't agree with them about homosexuality and hell (the latter being the place where those who don't fit their idea of grace end … [Read more...]

You can get (most) anything you want — even a good book
If the medium is the message, then there's more to be learned from Calvert Library's huge festival of local authors than you'll read in this week's feature story, The Writers Next Door.
Your neighbor may have written just the one for you, I say, introducing 33 authors and their latest (or favorite) books. These are quick introductions, the literary equivalent of speed dating, with a life compressed into one sentence and a plot into another. At the May 31 festival, you'll meet even more authors from 9:30 am to 4pm.
All that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The submerged message is that Calvert County's public library system is ambitious in a big way to be a place where people connect with ideas and each other.
You see it in the Prince Frederick library building, built in 2006 to change the way people use their libraries. Twenty-first century libraries will trend that way, using architecture and location to draw people in and interior design to make them feel comfortable, welcome and ready to stay a while.
Libraries of the future will be community centers — with the visual appeal of bookstores — according to Anne Arundel Public Library director Skip Auld, who's thinking toward a new Annapolis Public Library that will be state-of-the-art.
Sending the message that your library is the center of your community is more than putting it in a place people are likely to go. It's more than a light-filled building with maritime and local allusions, human-sized spaces and comfortable chairs.
The medium of that message has to be that here, as in Alice's Restaurant of Arlo Guthrie's song, you can get anything you want.
That's just about true of our 19 libraries, in Anne Arundel as well as in Calvert.
They're open when you want to go. This year, Anne Arundel libraries regained the county funding to open every branch from 9am to 9pm four days a week, and until 5pm Fridays and Saturdays, with some Sunday hours in regional centers. Calvert's libraries have always opened 9am to 9pm four days, with shorter hours Friday (noon-5pm) and Saturday (9am-5pm).
Along with longer hours, the Anne Arundel library system added 31 new staffers.
Many of Anne Arundel's new service are devoted to kids. The libraries' Early Literacy Initiative runs 144 programs a year for infants through five-year-olds, as well as reaching out to schools and Head Start centers.
Bay Weekly's Kids Time at the Libraries lists as many as 50 kids programs each week. Of course kids programs involve grown-ups as well, and often stuffed animals.
That's another part of the message: programs for people of all ages. Stories, songs, fingerplays and stuffed-animal sleepovers for kiddies … Legos, homework help and tutors on call for kids … pizza parties and games, both board and electronic, for teens … and for all ages, computers, shelves and shelves of books in print (large and small) and on recording, collections of databases, movies, music and games — and all for free.
Plan to dig, separate, store and replant in fall
As years pass, clumps of daffodils, narcissus, jonquils and hyacinths become crowded, resulting in smaller flowers. Shrunken flowers mean it's time to dig and replant. Wait until after all of the foliage has died back to the ground.
Mark the location and flower color of clumps to be divided before all the foliage is gone. Make a large plant label and stick it in the middle of the clump.
Dig with a garden spade, starting at least six inches away from the outer circle of dead leaves. Assume the bulbs are now deeper than the original planting depth: Bulbs are equipped with contractil roots that pull them deeper in the ground at the end of each growing season. This is a survival feature as bulbs originated in arid regions. Thus when digging bulbs that have been in the ground for a long time, you'll have to go two to three inches deeper than the original planting depth so the bulbs can be lifted from the ground without damage.
After you've lifted the bulbs from the ground, shake away loose soil; do not separate the bulbs from each other until after the soil has dried.
Then separate the clusters of bulbs from each other and thin them, allowing only two or three daughter bulblets to remain attached to each large bulb. Dust the bulbs with a fungicide such as a five-percent solution of Captan. Place them in an onion bag and hang in a cool, dry place to protect them from rodents.
In late September or early October, the bulbs will be ready for planting. To avoid future overcrowding, dig the planting hole at least 10 inches deep and amend the soil in the bottom with compost. The top of the each bulb should be at least eight inches below the surface of the soil. The deeper bulbs are planted, the fewer daughter bulbs they will produce because there is less oxygen available. Less propagating means less crowding.
A report from the University of Maryland Department of Entomology indicates that research at Virginia Tech found colonies of stink bugs that wintered unprotected outdoors have been killed by severe cold temperatures.
If this is true, it will help considerably in reducing the population, but it will not exterminate them. Stink bugs that managed to overwinter in the cracks and crevasses of homes and heated buildings will persist.
Based on the invasion we are experiencing at Upakrik Farm in Deale, the cold winter has not made a dent in the stink bug population. On warm days, they pour out of their winter hideaways.
The pheromone traps I tested last fall never attracted a single stink bug.
The only defense that has been 100 percent reliable in capturing stink bugs is the Bugzooka. This vacuum gun sucks them into the barrel without killing them and smearing their stinking guts on windows or woodwork. It is fun to use and gives you the feeling of sweet revenge.

Hundreds of shooting stars possible this weekend
If you're not a night owl, you'll want to set your alarm clock for early Saturday. Before dawn that morning, earth will plow through the trail of a newfound comet, providing what many astronomers are predicting to be the best meteor storm in years.
Comet 209P/LINEAR orbits the sun over a five-year period, yet it was only discovered in 2004 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research project. It belongs to a family called the Jupiter Comets, which are steered and propelled by the gas giant's own gravitational pull. Every so often, these comets come a little too close to Jupiter, and like a leaf buffeted by the wind, their course is set anew.
That's what happened in 2012 to Comet 209P/LINEAR. Not only did it alter the comet's path, but it also warped the centuries-old trails of debris left with every five-year passing. Now the comet's path comes within 280,000 miles of our own orbit — little more than the moon's distance from earth.
Not that the comet will actually pass that close to earth. At its innermost point of orbit, 209P/LINEAR is 90 million miles from the sun — roughly the same distance from the sun as earth, give or take a few million miles. May 29 the comet will be just 5.15 million miles from earth, the ninth closest approach by a comet ever recorded.
Even at its closest, it's doubtful you'll be able to spot this small, dim chunk of ice and rock without a decent-sized telescope.
In this case the sizzle is far better than the steak, thanks to the countless bits of dust trailing in the comet's wake after hundreds of years circling the sun. Between sunset Friday and dawn Saturday, earth plows full-steam through these bands of accumulated inter-stellar flotsam.
Astronomers are predicting a brief but intense period of activity, peaking around 3am with anywhere from dozens to hundreds of meteors an hour. Some models even predict a meteor storm with as many as 400 meteors an hour! And unlike most prolific meteor showers, which streak past in a matter of seconds, those from P/209 LINEAR will drift through the sky like falling snowflakes.
Cloudy skies? Check out the meteor shower via a live feed starting at 1:30am Saturday at http://tinyurl.com/olywq6k.
The waning crescent moon won't interfere with the meteors, but it will make a nice appearance with Venus low in the east before dawn Sunday morning.
Help stomp out Emerald Ash Borers and Hemlock Wooly Adelgids
You don't want to know the hemlock wooly adelgid. The invader — no bigger than a period — is terrorizing towering trees, both hemlock and spruce.
These pests threaten to wipe out eastern hemlock forests, a loss that could be as dreadful as the loss of American chestnuts. The bug is loose in half the evergreen's geographic range, 11 eastern states from Georgia to Massachusetts.
The fight is on, with two Maryland agencies injecting insecticide into thousands of hemlock trees and soil on public lands across the state. The wooly adelgid, which leaves telltale white, woolly wax spots on young hemlock twigs, is at its worst in our western counties.
The pencil-tip adelgid joins the ranks of Maryland public tree enemies. The emerald ash borer, here a decade, gets special attention May 18-24, days designated by Gov. Martin O'Malley as Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week.
The iridescent beetle that can fit on a penny has been eating its way through Maryland's ash trees — and ash in many states east of the Mississippi. To stop its decade-long advance, Maryland foresters have set up a movable quarantine barrier with sentry traps hung in trees throughout susceptible areas.
The ash tree is a popular city tree as well as an important woodland tree in the Chesapeake watershed and a mainstay of the timber industry. Ash contributes wood for furniture, flooring, bowling alleys, church pews, guitars and baseball bats.
Losses from the ash borer could exceed $227.5 million in the Baltimore metro area alone.
What can you do to help?
In all counties west of the Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River it's against the law to transport firewood because ash borers could have infiltrated the wood. So far, the Eastern Shore is uninvaded. If you have ash trees, look alert. Ash borer infestation shows up in eaten leaves, diminished tree canopy and shoots or sprouts emerging below dead portions of trunk. Woodpeckers are drawn to the trees to feed on the borers. Beneath the bark, D-shaped exit holes tell you the borer was there.
Return of the King of the Monsters
Fifteen years after a catastrophic nuclear power plant collapse in Japan, engineer Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston: Breaking Bad) is convinced that the government is covering up the real cause of the failure that killed his wife and countless others. He breaks into the ruins of the nuclear facility to prove that this disaster wasn't a malfunction or a typhoon, but a vast government cover-up.
Joe's son Ford (Aaron Taylor Johnson: Kick Ass 2) just wants his dad to stop getting arrested. Ford has moved on, starting a family and joining the Navy. Father and son rarely see each other — unless Ford is bailing his father out of a Japanese prison. To get his father to stop his conspiracy theorizing, Ford agrees to visit the nuclear plant ruins on one last mission.
Imagine Ford's surprise when he discovers his father was right: The government was hiding something — something big and angry. A drilling company in the Philippines crashed into a cavern in the earth, awakening an alpha predator that feeds on radiation.
Ford joins the military in a global effort to stop the monster from destroying the world.
A classic monster movie worthy of the 1954 original, Godzilla is a fun, light take on the Gojira series. Credit goes to the brilliance of director Gareth Edwards (Monsters). Following classic monster movie style, Edwards is slow to reveal Godzilla to the audience, teasing us with glimpses of a tail or a massive footprint.
Clever camera work emphasizes Godzilla's immense size compared to the human world. Edwards forces you into the action. Shots framed with panicked onlookers in the foreground put you in the midst of the pandemonium. When he treats us to a wide shot of the action, he mindfully keeps a person in the frame as a reminder of just how massive and terrifying Godzilla would be stomping down your street.
Still, the nature vs. man storyline is secondary to the cataclysmic battles. As a result of Edwards' innovative and interesting camera work, Godzilla is one of the best arguments for 3D graphics and IMAX visuals to appear in theaters this decade.
You'll see all the types you expect in a disaster/monster movie: a crackpot who's been right all along, a square-jawed soldier, his attractive but personality-free family, a scientist and thousands of faceless military men to act as cannon fodder. It's hard to care about the fate of Ford, his pretty wife and his adorable moppet son because they're cyphers instead of developed characters. But most people buying a ticket to a Godzilla movie aren't expecting a stirring family drama.
Still, appropriately melodramatic performances by veteran actors like Cranston and Ken Watanabe (Unforgiven) keep us invested in the fate of humanity.
Godzilla is the perfect summer blockbuster: a fun story, amazing visuals and a monster worthy of the big screen. So buy a bucket of popcorn, adjust your 3D glasses and get ready for a modern monster classic.
Many virtues make it my favorite sweetwater fish
This is a special time of year for me. There have been a number of 80-degree days, trees are filling out nicely and the strawberries in our garden are ripening. The day lilies are blooming, brightening the landscape, and birds are busy, singing their songs and building nests just about everywhere.
Our freshwater ponds and lakes are also awakening. Water lilies are reaching up and extending their green pads and white blossoms above the surface. The frogs are croaking and peeping amorously, and along the shallow, tree-shrouded shorelines, saucer-sized beds are beginning to be scraped out of the bottom by a small but mighty fish.
Each spawning site will be guarded with singular ferocity by a brightly colored male. His profile is as saucer shaped as the spawning site he has just created, and the little bull is relentlessly intent on attracting a mate. These fish are bluegills. A good-sized fish is only 10 inches long, but it is my favorite species in all of the sweetwater.
Hooked on Fishing
Perhaps it's because the bluegill was the first fish that ever pulled on the end of my line. I was about six years old and remember that tug as if it was yesterday because it was followed immediately by a bigger tug. Then the small, bamboo pole I held bent over in an acute arc.
It was all I could do to hold it upright as my heart raced like never before. Somehow managing to get the brightly colored fish up onto the old wooden dock, I watched as the furious rascal beat a reckless tattoo on the weathered boards.
My father was careful to subdue it without getting spiked by the critter's sharp fins, and we soon had it back in the water on a stringer, which I checked every 30 seconds for the remainder of the trip. I didn't catch anything else, but it mattered not a bit to me in my first flush of piscatorial victory.
For the next two days, I paraded that bluegill about the neighborhood on the stringer, eventually boring all but my mother with repeated descriptions of the grandeur of the moment. The 'gill was a big one, I was told, and without anything else to compare it to I accepted that judgment unequivocally.
By the end of the second day my parents convinced me to give the deceased a proper burial, explaining that it was gathering an odor and we had perhaps waited a little too long to serve it as supper. But I knew there were others out there, and I solemnly dedicated myself to their pursuit. I have held to that promise for over 60 years.
These days I have exchanged the simple cane pole for a fixed line; a hook and a red worm for a light graphite fly rod adorned with a small black reel, a floating line and a little popping bug.
In years past I have consumed at least my share of the tasty devils, but lately I have taken to releasing almost all of them. Each of my catches, I have come to realize, are either too small to eat or too large and grand to kill.
Over the years, pursuing these bold swimmers while wet wading, from the shoreline, from canoes, kayaks, skiffs, bass boats, dingys and even inner tubes, I have found all of the experiences the same: fantastic. There is no other fish as willing to do battle, as eager to strike in hunger or defending its territory and as energetic and resolute in continuing the fight all the way to my hand.
These fish are a model of life lived to the fullest. Each time I pursue them, I feel blessed to experience their fiery hearts and exceptional attitudes. My rod and reel are standing at the door as I wait for the wild springtime winds to die down. The 'gills are on the beds, I have an old promise to keep, and I can't wait to fulfill it yet again.
Take an intimate look at private lives affected by corporate callousness.
Colonial Players has kept audiences engaged in a season that has swung from the ridiculous to reality: from a time machine to Death Row, and now from a tabloid fantasy to the Industrial Revolution. In Melanie Marnich's These Shining Lives, a fictional treatment of a factual tragedy, we meet four victims of radium poisoning whose plight spawned a landmark Supreme Court decision on corporate responsibility and workers' safety. Despite the legalistic dénouement, this story is less Erin Brokovich than an intimate look at the private lives affected by corporate callousness.
If you're a fan of television's Big Love or The Big C, you're already familiar with Marnich's work. Or perhaps you were lucky enough to catch this show's 2008 debut at Baltimore's Center Stage. Regardless, this touching chronicle of friendship and suffering will arouse your anger and sympathy for Catherine (Sarah Wade), Charlotte (Krissy McGregor), Frances (Josette Dubois), Pearl (Aricia Skidmore-Williams) and thousands like them who, for over a decade, decorated watch faces with a paint composed of radium powder and their own saliva.
From the Roaring Twenties to the Great Depression, these working girls were heady with newfound freedoms and "easy money" thanks to the newly discovered element thought to impart a healthy glow and beneficial side effects. They got $8 a day; they lost teeth, jaws, limbs, their jobs, their good names and their lives.
Through it all, the men around them tiptoed around the obvious. Mr. Reed (David Carter), the supervisor, kept a watchful eye on their degeneration even as he denied the hazards of the job. The company doctor (Eric Hufford) prescribed aspirin and rest. Catherine's adoring husband Tom (Ben Carr), suspicious from the start, nevertheless grew resentful of and dependent on his wife's work even as she
withered before his unbelieving eyes.
The powerful story could have been more affecting with a more elaborate set. For despite luminescent designs on the floor and walls, the recycled kitchenette and worktables are ineffective substitutes for a deathbed and courtroom, and even those pieces remain unchanged throughout the production. Period costumes add a colorful touch to an otherwise drab environment, as do the scratchy recordings. But a vintage cathedral radio and more period embellishments would have added a whole new dimension of reality and interest.
From a performance standpoint, Wade glows as Katie, from her first ecstatic entrance to her dying breath, meshing with Hufford with palpable chemistry in last weekend's fine understudy performance of husband Tom. Carter brings a charming smarminess to the role of the calculating boss. McGregor, Skidmore-Williams and Dubois construct a decent rapport as the smart aleck, the jokester and the moralist. Yet beyond a couple limps and a sling, they are less convincing than Wade in their personas and their frailties. Where are the crutches, the bruises, the pallor, the blacked-out teeth and the physical manifestation of persistent pain? Without them, the tragedy feels less immediate than it should.
Still, this show does a good job of reminding us that precious time is ticking and we should never take a moment of our shining lives for granted.
Commemoration …
Tuesday and Wednesday, the Blue Angels awe us with fearless acrobatics, then streak into the wild blue yonder, our imaginations trailing.
Friday, the midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 2014 receive their commissions.
Monday completes the cycle.
All the warriors we honor on Memorial Day were once young as those midshipmen, younger even, entrusting themselves to a future beyond their imagining.
They were as confident as those Angels, prepared to soar beyond ordinary mortals.
Then came the doing. In war and in peace, each man devoted himself, each woman herself, to a cause larger than the making of an individual life. In that service, many gave their lives or lost who they had been in limbs and peace of mind.
On Memorial Day, as we honor the legions of dead warriors, their stories want to rise from the graves and columbariums to the ears of the living. It's their quiet call that takes us to the cemeteries, to the memorial spaces and ceremonies. We make these journeys on the last Monday in May, when flowers — peonies, iris, spirea — are blooming. Decoration Day, the old name of a commemoration begun after the Civil War, filled cemeteries with flowers and witnesses, and the stories rose from all the graves, visited and lonely.
Speaking the names of the dead warriors, recalling their stories, is a duty veterans hold sacred. Speaking for them in this Memorial Day issue of Bay Weekly is … Korean War veteran Bill Alli, of Bowie, whose book, Too Young for a Forgettable War, we recommend to you in The Reader. As well as Barb Robbins, Sara Russell and Donna Kurrle, interviewed at the Maryland World War II Memorial on the Severn River.
… And Celebration
The only certain lesson taught by the dead is the fullness of life. Thus the flip side of Memorial Day is our celebration of summer's beginning.
You'll step out of this Bay Weekly into the season.
Start with These Shining Lives, Colonial Players' memorial play to, writes Bay Weekly reviewer Jane Elkin, "remind us that precious time is ticking and we should never take a moment of our shining lives for granted."
Next? Chesapeake Country is your oyster.
Planning a visit to Eastern Shore? Ocean bound? You'll be among 333,000 travelers in crossing the Bay Bridge. If that figure doesn't deter you, neither should gephyrophobia. Folks who, like me, are afraid to make that crossing behind the wheel of their own car will find relief (and transportation) in Josh Powell's story on the Kent Island Shuttle Service.
If your Memorial Day and summer plans have you getting onto the water rather than over it, we remind you of another timely seasonal commemoration: Safe Boating Week. Bob Melamud's story will guide you to your own safe boating season.
Every summer taste will find its satisfaction in the 2014 Summer Fun Guide, Bay Weekly's annual supplement tucked into this week's paper. In its 44 pages, you'll find ways to celebrate the 101 days of summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
To make the most of summer 2014, keep this guide by your side. Do not recycle until September 2.
How Do You Have Summer Fun?

Plus Two Last Words
In a broader memorial sense, we say two farewells in 2014's Memorial Day paper. Puzzler Ben Tausig alerts us to his departure. Puzzles this week through June 26 play out his long good-bye.
We also salute Dignity Players, which ended its nine-year run as the Theatre for Change on May 17, with the closing of The 39 Steps. Memorably honoring the company for its achievement is Bay Weekly theater reviewer Jim Reiter, who directed the curtain closer.

And one bright, streaking light
As the sky grows dark, the first light you're likely to spot is Jupiter high in the west, slipping toward the horizon and setting around midnight. Above it are Pollux and Castor, the two brightest stars in the constellation Gemini. Orange-hued Pollux is the 17th brightest star, and white-hot Castor is the 23rd brightest. But at magnitude –2, Old Jove is exponentially brighter.
Mars is another easy target, appearing high in the south at dark and setting in the west around 3:30am. While it is no brighter than a strong star, its steady red glow stands out among the stars.
You'll have to hunt for Mercury amid the ashen light of sunset, when the innermost planet hovers within 10 degrees of the west-northwest horizon. Mercury reaches its farthest point from the sun on the 25th, when it appears 15 degrees above our horizon at sunset and remains visible for almost two hours. These next couple weeks are the best chance all year to see this elusive planet at night. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights look for Mercury between the two stars that mark the horns of Taurus the bull.
As Mercury sinks toward the northwest horizon, Saturn rises in the southeast. The ringed planet is also making its best nighttime appearance of the year and shines overhead from dusk until dawn. Below it snakes the form of Scorpius punctuated by red-glowing Antares.
Venus is brilliant as the Morning Star low in the east at dawn. It rises around 5am, and as daybreak nears it blazes from its perch 15 degrees above the horizon. Keep an eye on its leisurely climb and you can spot it shining through the glare of early morning.
Another bright light pierces the darkness this week, as the International Space Station makes several good appearances. At its dimmest, the ISS rivals any star; at its peak, it can rival Venus. But while the stars and planets give you time to pause, the space station streaks by in a matter of minutes. Traveling 17,000 miles an hour, it orbits the earth every 90 minutes. Unlike the lights from a passing airplane, you aren't seeing the lights aboard the ISS. Instead, hovering 250 miles over the planet, the station receives plenty of sunlight, which is reflected back to our eyes.
Friday morning the ISS appears in the southwest at 5:16am, climbing toward the celestia zenith, then disappearing in the northeast at 5:20. Saturday it appears almost 30 degrees above the south-southwest horizon at 4:30am, climbs another 30 degrees, then vanishes three minutes later in the east-northeast. Tuesday the station appears almost directly overhead at 3:42am and shoots to the north before disappearing two minutes later. For more detailed sighting opportunities, visit http://spotthestation.nasa.gov.
This raucous comedy proves good fences make good neighbors
On paper, Mac (Seth Rogen: This is the End) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne: Insidious: Chapter 2) are adults. They're married. They have a baby. And they just sunk all of their money into a house in a perfect suburban neighborhood. In reality, both Mac and Kelly are a little bored with their new responsible life and jealous of friends who still party all night.
The couple hopes for a change in routine and maybe some interesting neighbors. Dreaming for a progressive couple with children — or at least a Taco Bell — to take over the vacant house next door, the Radners are horrified when fraternity Delta Psi moves in. Known for loud, outrageous parties, Delta Psi's last frat house burned down after an unfortunate fireworks incident.
Priding themselves on being cool, the Radners visit the fraternity, introduce themselves and tell the boys to keep it down, offering marijuana from Mac's personal stash. Fraternity leaders Teddy (Zac Efron: That Awkward Moment) and Pete (Dave Franco: The LEGO Movie) befriend the Radners, inviting them to a wild party and asking for a promise to call the boys rather than the cops.
After a night of drugs, loud music and youthful hijinks, Kelly and Mac are hung over and exhausted. They vow to grow up. Their neighbors are still ready to party. After a week of nonstop loud music, wild parties and drunken antics, the Radners have had it with Delta Psi. Their baby is up all night, they get little sleep and worst of all, Delta Psi isn't even inviting them back.
Fed up, the Radners call the cops.
This act of vengeance sparks a war between Delta Psi and the Radners. The brothers want to make the old couple suffer. Kelly and Mac want the college to revoke the fraternity's charter. As the war escalates, pranks become more dangerous until mutual destruction seems the most likely outcome.
Filled with nudity, cursing and brutal physical comedy, Neighbors is hilariously inappropriate. Director Nicholas Stoller (The Five Year Engagement) makes sure the movie earns its R rating with plenty of off-color humor and outrageous scenes, including a fight that features Rogen and Efron using adult toys in lieu of swords.
While it's certainly not sophisticated humor, it's effective thanks to a great cast. As the couple desperate to prove they're still cool, Rogen and Byrne are a dynamic duo. Both commit so fully to the Radners' outrageous plans that you can't help but laugh at their shared insanity. Rogen plays the same character he does in every movie: an affable stoner dealing with adult responsibilities against his will. It's not too hard to see how Mac could get drawn into a battle with boys who represent everything he loved in college.
Byrne is refreshing as a straight woman who becomes more unhinged and diabolical as the Delta Psi boys threaten. It's also nice to have a female lead openly question why she must always be the level-headed partner in a relationship. Kelly bristles at the thought that being a mother automatically means she needs to be responsible for the household. Perhaps she shouldn't be, as her strategies against the Delta Psi boys would make Patton quake in his boots.
Efron is still a dismal actor, but he was born to play the role of a dim-bulb frat boy with well-toned abs and a vindictive streak. Stoller keeps his emotional beats to a bare minimum, using Efron's flat performance to his advantage. Teddy has nothing to do but obsess over "getting even with the old people"; he certainly wouldn't be studying or looking for a post-collegiate job.
I admit to laughing along with the audience at this incredibly crude comedy, but I can't in good conscience recommend Neighbors to a wide audience. If you loved The Heat, Bridesmaids and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, then Neighbors will delight you. But don't go unprepared; several aghast parents rushed their children out of as I watched.

The fifth game in the Assassin's Creed series (depending on how you want to count), Assassin's Creed: Unity is perhaps one of the most demanding games to ever hit the PC. It has also had a rather bumpy start, though some of that may be due to people expecting their system to handle the game without turning down a few of the graphics options. Can your GPU handle Unity, or does it need a few judicious upgrades first – or maybe just a couple more patches to the game – that's what we're here to find out.

2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 25 reviews
Chrysler introduced the PT Cruiser for the 2001 model year. A convertible model was added in 2005, and several interior and exterior styling updates came in 2006. Changes this year include a new headlight design, altered taillights, and a restyled grille. The dashboard has also been redesigned, for a more mature look, and a new audio system features an input for portable devices. The center stack, seat fabrics and panels have also been changed.
There are three power plant options for the PT Cruiser. The base engine is a 2.4 liter DOHC four cylinder engine, making 150 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The Limited and Touring trims may be equipped with an optional turbocharger, which bumps up horsepower by 30. The GT gets an enhanced version of the 2.4 liter four, which delivers 230 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. The turbo versions of the Limited and the Touring use a four-speed automatic transmission. The GT is available with the automatic or a five-speed manual.
Chrysler offers the PT Cruiser in two body styles and four trims. The base PT wagon is equipped with power accessories, a CD audio system, and keyless entry. The convertible adds air conditioning. The Touring model adds a few additional standard features, and the GT provides more of a sporting orientation. The Limited PT includes a power driver's seat and a moon roof. A six-disc CD changer and heated seats are optional on most models. The Limited trim is only available with the wagon body.
No PT Cruiser is particularly sporty with respect to handling, but the GT provides the best driving experience. Along with the 230 horsepower engine, this top shelf model gets a firmer suspension and wider tires. Drivers have reported noticeable body roll through the tighter turns, and base engine acceleration which requires a great deal of patience.
The PT Cruiser has been in high demand since its 2001 release, largely due to its unique styling and flexible interior. However, low gas mileage (especially considering the PT's compact size) is a very common owner issue.
