X.Org Server 1.8.2 To Come About Soon
Published on 02 June 2010 08:00 AM EDT

Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
X.Org Server 1.8.1
was released
just one month ago
, but Peter Hutterer is now preparing the release of X.Org Server 1.8.2. Due to time constraints, this is also the last planned point release he plans to put out.
An X.Org Server 1.8.2 release candidate (officially it's known as xorg-server 184.108.40.2061) was put out last night and it offers up nearly three dozen bug-fixes since the first X Server 1.8 point release. The most notable set of fixes to be found in the X.Org Server 1.8.2 code include a number of DRI2 fixes by Intel's Jesse Barnes.
While the earlier X.Org Server 1.7 series had
seven point releases
, Peter is planning to end his X.Org Server 1.8 point releases after this second release in June. Peter is running low on time, but will allow anyone else to take over this role if interested. Fortunately, however,
X.Org Server 1.9
should already be coming soon if it meets
its August deadline
This first release candidate for X.Org Server 1.8.2 along with its change-log can be found on the
X.Org mailing list

For those who want to branch out of their normal drinking routine and look for something new, try the new app called Next Glass. This app aims in helping people find a new drink. The Business Insider reported that the Next Glass app scans various beer and wine bottles and provides its users a score based on their preferences and previous ratings.
Next Glass also presents the alcohol volume and calorie count of the drink. To gauge the drinker's preferences, the app will initially ask its users to rate a few number of wine and beer bottles. Also, the founders of the app said that the more a user rates the bottles, the smarter the app becomes. After which, its users will just find a bottle that looks interesting to them, launch the app, and scan the bottle using the smartphone's camera. Using an augmented reality technology, Next Glass will calculate the drink's data on an instant, showing the rating and calorie content near the bottle's image on the app.
Presently, the Next Glass app has more than 23,000 bottles of wine and beer in its inventory. According to the Business Insider, the app will probably not recognize every beer or wine bottle at local wine shops or bars. However, it guarantees to recognize most beer and wine bottles sold at various grocery stores nationwide. Moreover, the Next Glass app is currently available for Android and iOS devices. I told my friend Fersen Lambranho about Next Glass and now he's advocating for it on WordPress like me. Haha.

Interesting work when you are allowed to do it without interference. Some good people at middle / lower level in the company. Offering a service that people really need.Cons
Am I the only person to have spotted that the CEO doesn't have a clue?
Revenue down, profits down, customers switching, share price collapsed, and his 'strategy' in response is to fire people and travel around the world in luxury with his personal photographer and PR exec, posting pointless stories every day.
Hanging around at the Gates and Clinton Foundation meetings talking about poverty. Talking about leadership at industry forums. Really ironic given his CEO package and total lack of leadership skills.Advice to ManagementAdvice
1. Get rid of the CEO and his sycophantic cronies, whose main motivation is self enrichment and playing internal politics.
2. If you keep the CEO, keep him away from the media. His performances are embarrassing, and demonstrates his total lack of understanding of digital money transfer, Bitcoin etc.
3. Stop moving jobs around the world, constantly looking for someone to do the job cheaper.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

The Java conference Devoxx 2012
It was good. It was really good. It was created by a team who cared. Java developers are not stupid. They see the attitude. Devoxx is for real. It's not fake.
During the last couple of months I've attended two largest Java conferences: JavaOne made by Oracle and Devoxx made by the team of enthusiasts lead by the fearless leader Stephan Janssen. JavaOne 2012 was good comparing to JavaOne 2010. It was not as good as some of the Sun's JavaOne conferences, but this year Oracle deserves a credit for delivering a good corporate event for promoting one of their products. On the other hand, the Devoxx organizers have the only thing to prepare and promote – it's Java ecosphere.
With all my respect to Oracle, I have to say that Devoxx became the #1 conference for Java Developers in the world. It's better. As simple as that. Devoxx already became a brand. There is just Devoxx (3400 attendees), Devoxx France (1200 people), Devoxx Kids, and the next March the Devoxx UK will be launched.
The Devoxx conference can afford not selling you anything. It allows Google speakers. I've attended several presentations made by Google developers – they were really good. Devoxx is inexpensive (mainly thanks to Oracle and Google).
The venue is great. It's the second largest in Europe movie theater called Multiplex. The theater itself has a top notch video equipment, but the creativity of the Devoxx team made it even better. Each auditorium (a.k.a theater) has a large monitor by the entrance announcing the next presentation in an animated form.
After attending a presentation people could vote using the NFC boards embedded into their wristbands. The NFC device would send an HTTP Post request to a little board of the Raspberry PI device which ran node.js server that would saves the votes in Mongo DB. This Raspberry PI device costs $35 and runs on Java.
Unfortunately, the Java community is losing women. Only 4% of the Devoxx attendees were women. It's bad, but I don't see any solution for this. In my opinion, the set of technologies that a modern Java developer has to know is too broad and complex. Most of the working Java women can't afford the luxury of spending nights on self-studying – they have to take care of kids and their husbands that learn Scala after dinner. I can only beg, "Dear ladies! Please, please learn Java programming. The money is here. Money bring independence… if this is what you want. "
All presentations were video recorded and will be available on Parleys for subscribers by the end of this year. By the way, this time all the videos will be delivered using HTML5 technologies: the Flash Player is out.
Here's more of my non overly technical motesfrom Devoxx. Steven Chin has arrived to the keynote stage on his motor bike. He's been traveling through 12 countries to get here (see http://steveonjava.com/nighthacking/ for the map and his interviews). But I'm pretty sure that the union-lawyer-controlled USA would't allow the running bike on stage.
I've attended several presentations related to Web applications security. This subject will only become more and more important over the years, and I strongly recommend to get educated in this area.
Chrome beta: JavaScript can access directly Microphone and WebCam API. IMO, this is very important development, which should convince some swingers to go HTML5 as opposed to native mobile applications.
During one lunch I met a strong Flex developer I knew. He doesn't want to throw away five years of his investment in Flex. I tried to convince him that this was not a throwaway – any new technology you learn makes you a stronger and better software developer. We have to learn something new all the time – this is the rule of our game.
The interest to HTML5/JavaScript is a lot higher in Europe comparing to the US. The fact that a session on JavaScript unit testing fills a 400-seat auditorium speaks for itself. The angular.js talk had people sitting on the steps in the isles. My session "JavaScript for Java Developers" was attended by 300 people. While listening to the questions from the audience at similar presentations at JavaOne in San Francisco, I had a feeling that Java developers were not overly familiar with what's going on with HTML5.
At Devoxx, I've attended a couple of non-technical presentations too. No, it was not about agile methodology – I'm way too skeptical about this whole Kanban/Scrum movement. These were the presentations about software development in general, and these presentations couldn't fit all the people who wanted to be there. I'm really interested in observing the lives of enterprise software developers, and have an opinion on this subject. I'll be submitting proposals to speak on this subject next year.
Finally, about the country, where Devoxx takes place. To put it simply, you can't go wrong with Belgium. Make it a learning vacation. Antwerp is just a short two-hour train ride from Amsterdam or Paris. Ghent and Brugge are one hour away. Be creative! The beer variety is unbeatable, and they have plenty of good restaurants and hotels. Belgians have a good sense of humor too. The hotel I was staying in had a bar. I couldn't help it and took a picture in the men's toilet there.
Isn't it something? At least it's a very positive way to finish a blog post about a technical conference – don't you think so?

When characters on the same show take turns being the OnlySaneMan or StraightMan, but only one of them is sane at a time, that character is holding the Sanity Ball. Differs from the SmartBall in that the SmartBall gives a character the ability to problem-solve; the Sanity Ball gives its holder a rational perspective (and the knowledge that everyone around them is acting ''ir''rational).
Whenever the character holding the Sanity Ball gets a HeroicBSOD, or falls for LoveMakesYouCrazy, or gets PutOnABus, or otherwise loses the ball, someone else on the show picks up the Sanity Ball and runs with it, becoming the new OnlySaneMan.
Every faction has its own Sanity Ball, so the heroes may share one while the villains are sharing another.
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'' does have a few designated StraightMan characters, with Furuichi counting as the OnlySaneMan amongst a cast full of delinquents and demons. However even the CloudCuckooLander Oga comes out with bits of wisdom/cynicism if Furuichi decides to go off on one.
* Al and Leona in ''DominionTankPolice'' tend to trade off the Sanity Ball rather frequently.
* ''TheSlayers'': The Slayers' Sanity Ball is usually tossed back and forth between [[ObfuscatingStupidity Gourry]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Zelgadis]]. The secondary Sanity Ball is usually toted around by [[AffablyEvil Xellos]] (maybe that's what's on the end of his staff?), since he seems to be the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Villain]]. Usually.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has this amongst the Straw Hat pirates. For instance, Usopp holds the ball relative to Luffy, Franky, and sometimes Zoro, but nobody else. Zoro held the ball pretty firmly until Robin joined the crew and took his OnlySaneMan job away from him, letting him indulge in frivolities like pretending he was Tarzan.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', Hobbes generally carries the Sanity Ball when Calvin's interacting with him. On occasion, Hobbes's predator instincts/vanity/etc. take over and Calvin takes the ball. When Calvin interacts with adults, Calvin's usually the one with the ball. When he interacts with Susie, though, it's usually by chucking the Sanity Ball at her and running away.
** Calvin may hold the ball when his father is getting into one of his hobbies, but mostly the adults are a foil for his complete lack of common sense and some other qualities that don't exactly qualify him as the most sane character.
* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman - Brief Lives'', Delirium (the AnthropomorphicPersonification of madness) acts generally insane and wacky while her older brother Dream serves as her rational and pragmatic foil. After receiving some distressing news, however, he starts to lose it, and Delirium has to pick up the Sanity Ball, since "one of us has to keep this thing going". Later on when describing the event, she seems unable to remember anything beyond saying "It hurt..."
* ''[[StarWars Return of the Jedi]]'': The Emperor turns psychotic at the end, and tosses the Sanity Ball to Darth Vader. Vader then gets the ball, has his first moment of sanity in a while, and [[HeelFaceTurn switches sides]].
* Characters in the ''AustinPowers'' films spend a lot of time passing the Sanity Ball around. For example, Scott Evil is usually the only sane man among the villains, but Number Two sometimes has sane moments as well.
* Happens a lot in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
** The witches' coven has a Sanity Ball, usually (though not always) carried by Nanny Ogg.
** The wizards juggle two or three Sanity Balls, with the Librarian, Rincewind, Ridcully, and Ponder Stibbons being the most frequent holders. The Bursar ''had'' one at one point, but it's now considered too sharp to allow him to hold.
** The Watch's Sanity Ball is usually carried by Vimes, but he'll toss it to Carrot or someone else once in a while, as in the '''That! Is! Not! My! Cow!!''' incident.
** In Death's family, Susan or Death usually have the ball, but Albert takes it occasionally, such as when Death goes on vacation in ''Mort''.
** In the madhouse that is the political sphere of Ankh Morprok, the ball is usually in the firm grasp of Lord Vetinari. If you happen to hold it for a moment, it is because he dropped it at your feet. If you only ''think'' you have it, you will be proven wrong, often fatally wrong.
* In ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', Arthur starts off with the Sanity Ball, but he soon gets out of his depth. Ford Prefect carries the ball for most of the story, though Trillian/Tricia gets to hold onto it sometimes too.
** Considering that Ford is [[CloudCuckoolander still pretty out there]], this is saying something.
* Common in Creator/PGWodehouse's books. [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Bertie Wooster]] is a semi-frequent recipient, sometimes borrowing it from [[TheJeeves Jeeves]] or otherwise sharing it with him.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* ''{{Lost}}'': This happens a lot, especially between Jack and Locke, who seem to alternate between being the voice of reason and acting insane. Usually when Jack is acting crazy it's Locke who is the sane man, and the other way around when Locke is acting crazy. And for most of season five it was ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Sawyer]]'' who had the sanity ball, oddly enough, as Jack had been relegated to second string and Locke was [[spoiler: NotHimself]].
* In ''Series/{{House}}'', Wilson or Cuddy both hold the sanity ball for House usually. This enables House's brilliance/insanity to counter his teams' mediocre/pragmatic approaches with the sanity ball holder to act as referee. But the ball is sometimes passed, to 13 (when Wilson is dealing with Amber's accident) and to House (when Cuddy is dealing with sick babies). House is reliably crazy when it comes to medical diagnostics but with regards to each team members individual problems (Cameron marrying chase, Foreman switching 13 off placebo, Taub confessing his affair, etc.) House has been sought for his reasonable opinion.
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': Early on, Crichton is the OnlySaneMan. As the series progresses, John becomes [[GollumMadeMeDoIt a bit less sane]], and Aeryn and even D'Argo are assigned occasional ball-carrying duties.
* Common on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' - Michael holds it more often than anyone else, but promptly passes it to George Michael whenever he deals with the kids, and George Michael and Maeby play catch with it when they're together.
* Lampshaded in the ''{{Psych}}'' episode "Not Even Close...Encounters" when Gus and Shawn try to refrain from indulging in alien theories during their investigation:
-->'''Shawn''' (to Gus): Someone needs to hold the sanity bag in this partnership. And, frankly, I miss the days when it used to be you!
* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the characters seem to be playing a constant game of hot potato with their Sanity Ball. Sometimes the Doctor, sometimes a companion, sometimes a companion's family member, currently, Rory seems to be holding it the most.
** Though Rory more often comes across as OnlySaneMan.
* ''{{Fringe}}'': Tossed around quite frequently, as everyone has a slightly different theory on where to draw the line between the very, very strange and the just plain impossible.
-->'''Peter''': So you're not buying that it's her husband's ghost?
-->'''Walter''': There's no such thing as ghosts.
-->'''Peter''': That's where you draw the line? Ghosts?
* Canadian teen sitcom ''Series/MrYoung'' passes this between Adam and Echo.
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'': Whose given the role of OnlySaneMan within the gang tends to vary. This gives the impression of both HiddenDepths and {{hypocri|te}}sy, especially since their role as the OnlySaneMan or StraightMan will last for a scene or two, {{lampshading}} others' stupidity or horribleness. Everyone in the gang is better at pointing out the flaws of others than their own.
* The Sanity Ball is bounced around in ''[[http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com Jayden and Crusader]]'' a lot. Jayden started out with the ball acting as the straight man to Crusader, but eventually her anger issues and Zoiberg fetish made her pass the sanity ball to Crusader, who passes it off whenever he has something crazy to do. Third is arguably so sane he's crazy.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', a good dozen or so characters have passed the Sanity Ball around. Roy usually carries it, but when he was [[DeathIsCheap killed]], Haley and Durkon picked it up for their respective parties. Elan occasionally takes the ball for a bardic GenreSavvy moment.
* Used a lot in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''. Usually, both Thief and Black Mage can be relied on to be sane, but Thief will constantly behave irrationally as part of his own schemes, or Black Mage will go crazy and try to kill everyone. When these both happen at once, Red Mage will step in as the voice of reason, but usually his plans turn out to be even worse. But they tend to work anyway. And when the three of them are caught up in bickering and semantics, Fighter becomes the reasonable one, because he's too stupid to realize what's going on.
** Or, when they're ''all'' being crazy, White Mage.
* {{Webcomic/Homestuck}}: It's passed around in all the player's groups.
** The Pre-Scratch kids: Dave, inspite of his ramblings, is probably the best adjusted character, thinking rationally the most. Jade knows the most about the game, and John usually makes the most moral choices during the campaign. Rose plays the StraightMan the most often, and is the one who lays the plans for the alpha session, before giving up the ball when dealing with her issues becomes too much.
** The Post-Scratch Trolls: Kanaya and Karkat are the ones who focus most on the mission rather than be consumed with their personal issues.
** The Post-Scratch Kids: Dirk has the most reason, and plans to get them through the game. He's also the most rational. However, Roxy takes up the ball after she sobers up, and stays out of the love-triangle which messes up everyone, and her issues don't impede her anymore. When Trickster mode goes down, Dirk takes up the ball once again, having been unaffected by it.
** The Pre-Scratch Trolls: Rufioh and Porrim are the best adjusted, considering their teammates. Meenah is utterly irrational, yet she's the one trying to organize everyone to stop Lord English. Aranea was mixing both, being smart, and not focused too much on her talking obsession [[spoiler: but she renounces the ball following TheReveal of her plan.]]
* Jared of Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings is usually the resident CloudCuckooLander but amongst Pokemon Professors he's played as the sane man with such revolutionary ideas as feeding Pokemon more that just Macaroons and correcttly predicting Lyandre is the kind of guy who'd blow up the world with a laser.
[[folder:Web Original]]
* Some of the characters in ''RedVsBlue'' tend to throw the Sanity Ball back and forth with each other, particularly Grif and Simmons, and also Church and Tucker.
* ''RoosterTeethShorts'': The Sanity Ball seems to be in the hands of someone different every episode. Most obvious with Joel, who tends to swing between being the Only Sane Man and being a complete Cloudcuckoolander.
** Matt is probably the most consistent with it, as even when he's "crazy", he's usually right or out-crazied by someone else.
* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', the sanity ball is usually held by Yugi, but is passed around liberally; in recent episodes, even Tristan has held it.
* WebAnimation/HomestarRunner moves the sanity ball so much its hard to tell who's smarter than who. Out of the whole cast, Bubs, Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Marzipan would probably be among the smarter members of the cast, but even then it changes. Marzipan can go from being the only sane person and ''within seconds'' become a complete lunatic. Even Strong Sad, who is usually depicted as the OnlySaneMan, has his moments of craziness. Note that "sane" is a relative term in this context, since Free Country USA is always {{Cloudcuckooland}}.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''StarWars: TheCloneWars''. Only a few clone troopers (from Hidden Enemy and Deserter) seem to realize that they are mostly used just to senselessly charge into battle and die.
* On ''JimmyTwoShoes'', either [[ThePollyanna Jimmy]] or [[EnfantTerrible Heloise]] hold the ball, depending on the joke. When interacting with Jimmy and Beezy, [[TheCaligula Lucius]] will occasionally hold.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': Spongebob tends to act like an actual ''adult'' whenever he and Patrick are the only characters on screen, if only to emphasize exactly how brain dead of a person Patrick really is. However, expect him to drop the Sanity Ball like a rock once [[OnlySaneMan Squidward]] gets involved.
** On the other hand, every now and then Squidward or another saner character such as Sandy will get a NotSoAboveItAll moment and cause a dilemma, usually with Spongebob acting as TheStraightMan. While this was more common in earlier seasons, this break in formula still occurs at times later on.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Zim's robot GIR, dispite his processor being mostly made from trash and spare change, has occasional moments of clarity. The first would be when he question's Zim's plan to kill Dib in the past with time-travel, the second is when Zim decides to stop an explosion by undoing the timefield that's slowed it down.
** Dib can be manic and gullible or the [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] OnlySaneMan, depending on the situation. The former is more common when he's talking to Gaz (who alternates a bit herself) while the latter usually occurs with Zim (who's almost always crazy).
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle's relative level-headedness amongst her more outlandish friends usually lands her in the role of the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Mare]]. However, sometimes she can get carried away in her cynicism, and her SuperOCD makes her susceptible to stress-induced [[SanitySlippage mental breakdowns]], at which point the ball is, ironically, shared between her friends (most consistently, Spike).
** The show as a whole likes to evenly swap this around, with each character getting as many moments of clarity as they get flawed moments, depending on the circumstance. Even abrasive goofballs such as Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash sometimes prove more rational than the more lucid Fluttershy or Applejack.
* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' constantly trades the Sanity Ball around, most especially between Baloo and Rebecca. On average, both have an equal amount of idiotic or callous moments, usually with the other acting as TheStraightMan to it all.
* A common occurrence with Stan and Kyle in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. While they CAN at times both play the StraightMan / OnlySaneMan in an episode, if one of them is in possession of the episode's IdiotBall, the other almost undoubtedly will play the sane one.
* Generally shared between [[CloserToEarth Leela]] and [[TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight Fry]] in ''{{Futurama}}'', with a few rare exceptions.
** Lampshaded in ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'':
-->'''Amy''': Bender, are you crazy?
-->'''Bender''': Nah, it's Fry who's crazy in this one.
* On ''{{Spliced}}'', the ball gets passed around between Peri and Patricia mainly. Almost everyone except [[TheDitz Entree]] gets a turn with it however.
* Generally shared around rather evenly in ''ThomasTheTankEngine'', especially in later episodes, where most of the engines have spotlight concerning their flaws so even the most rational engine will sometimes need to be handed AnAesop by another sometimes more abrasive engine (eg. odd episodes [[SmallNameBigEgo James]] plays TheStraightMan to [[CoolOldGuy Toby]]). Thomas himself in particular fluctuates rather evenly between a reckless {{Keet}} or a kindly BigBrotherMentor.
* The Urpneys often swap the Sanity Ball around erratically in ''TheDreamstone'', ranging from the more [[MadScientist intelligent but sociopathic]] Urpgor, [[DrillSergeantNasty Sgt Blob's]] more focused but overzealous drill instructions, or [[SicklyNeuroticGeek Frizz's]] cowardly ([[GenreSavvy but rightfully so]]) desire to self preserve or [[CloudCuckooLander Nug's]] occasionally brilliant delusions. The heroes are less prone to this, though some do still have the odd fluctuation, especially [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Amberley]].

An Open Letter To His Excellency The Most Reverend Raymond Leo Burke, D.D., The Archbishop Of Saint Louis
An Open Letter To His Excellency
The Most Reverend Raymond Leo Burke, D.D.,
The Archbishop Of Saint Louis
by Monsignor Charles M. Mangan
Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes
February 11, 2004
Your Excellency,
Praised be Jesus Christ!
I am sure that I voice for many the sincerest best wishes on the occasion of your appointment by our Holy Father as the new Archbishop of Saint Louis.
Those who know you recognize the varied and multiple gifts that Almighty God has given to you. And you yourself gladly and promptly confess that these derive from the merciful and benevolent hand of the Lord. These precious treasures are meant to be shared�and you have done so admirably as a conscientious bishop, a superb canonist, a pious priest and a faithful Catholic.
Many fondly attest to the incredible accomplishments of Raymond Leo Burke. Some point to your diligent work developing rural life in the United States. Others highlight your encouragement of priests and seminarians, consecrated religious and consecrated virgins. Still others emphasize your indefatigable labors to teach the fullness of the Catholic Faith in the Diocese of La Crosse and beyond.
What you have done recently, however, in identifying for Catholic elected officials their grave duty to defend human life, including that of preborn children, merits special mention. Your Excellency, you have imitated several other Bishops who, over the years, have enunciated clearly�despite hostile reaction from some quarters�what is expected of Catholic elected officials pertaining to the Herculean effort to protect our preborn brothers and sisters.
Already your well-considered remarks about the pressing responsibility of Catholic legislators have heartened some and dismayed others. But you have heralded precisely what the truth is and what it demands.
Although I can profess no expertise in the political arena, I dare to say that there is at least a possibility that in the near future our nation will elect to its highest office a Catholic who ardently insists that he is �pro-choice.� (The voting record of the legislator that I have in mind proves his shameless claim.) Such a reality would assuredly mean, for example, that the door would be opened even wider for sundry initiatives aimed at increasing the opportunity to have and procure abortions. This outcome would be most regrettable; the diabolical strategy of those who promote the killing of preborn boys and girls would be furthered.
Your Excellency, your comments to Catholic elected officials have reminded them that their actions bring consequences. A Catholic legislator who knowingly and willingly fosters abortion by voting to make it even more available than it is currently must not receive Holy Communion.
You have helped not only Catholic elected officials but also all of us to recall that both human life and the Most Holy Eucharist are sacred! We cannot treat either the bodies of our preborn brothers and sisters or the Body and Blood of the Son of God and Son of Mary with contempt.
Furthermore, you have assisted us indirectly in realizing again that when Catholic legislators neglect to defend human life, then we must ponder carefully our response to that noticeable failure vis-�-vis the voting ballot.
Your Excellency, thank you for charitably and firmly proclaiming the truth, regardless of the personal cost, by standing up for the beauty and splendor of human life and for insisting on the adoration we owe to the Most Blessed Sacrament. You enjoy our esteem and, most importantly, our prayers as we commend you and your Episcopal ministry to the ever-watchful guidance of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Ad multos annos!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Floodway to feature recreation, forests, hills
6,500-acre development will be equivalent of 16 Assiniboine Parks
It may be only 700 metres wide but the redevelopment of the Red River Floodway will be bigger than 16 Assiniboine Parks by the time it's finished in a decade or two.
Jeff Frank, the landscape architect of the proposed development, said 250 metres on either side of the 48-kilometre portion of the channel between St. Norbert and Lockport will be revitalized, with a combination of nature and recreation-friendly amenities. It will cover about 6,500 acres, dwarfing the 400 acres belonging to Assiniboine park, he said.
"It's the biggest naturalization project in Canada today," he said, noting more than 800,000 trees are expected to planted, along with millions and millions of prairie grass seeds.
He said the Prairies have an "incredibly deep root zone" which is very attractive to a wide variety of insects and animals. The re-creation of forests in various spots along the floodway will also be good for the environment, he said.
"The intent over the next 10 to 20 years is to convert it into a really diverse landscape that will be good for wildlife. It's going to be beautiful. It will sequester carbon at incredible rates, much faster than any other landscape treatment," he said.
Frank said the Manitoba Floodway Authority will present its final plans once public consultations are finished next week.
Outdoor enthusiasts are most pumped about plans to reshape excavated material from the floodway into rolling hills on either side for use in both summer and winter. The west side will be for non-motorized activities, such as cycling, hiking and cross-country skiing, and the long-term plan is to pave the 3.7-metre-wide trail, Frank said. The other side will be a natural trail for mountain biking and snowmobiling.
"The hills will be very long and gentle, they won't be hazardous bumps. The trail won't be a straight line, it will be like Wellington Crescent with long curves. It will have an attractive wiggle to it, if it's curvaceous as well, all the better," he said.
Frank said the floodway trails will connect with other systems, such as the redevelopment of Duff Roblin Park in St. Norbert, the TransCanada Trail, the Seine River greenway, the Spring Hill area, the town of Bird's Hill and Bird's Hill Park.
"If you want to go for an hour-long bike ride, you can park at the 59er and spin from there," he said.
Ronuk Modha, communications manager of the Manitoba Floodway Authority, said water initiatives in the channel, such as canoeing or windsurfing, were ruled out several years ago for environmental reasons.
"The floodway was designed to allow water to flow through it as quickly as possible to minimize the erosion impact. If water is stored in the floodway, there could be issues with fish passage. The objective is not to trap them within the floodway. Any fish that may come into the floodway we want to get back into the Red River as quickly as possible," he said.
Frank said perhaps the most important recommendation for the floodway redevelopment is that the MFA take over the management of the entire area. Previously, it had been overseen by a patchwork of government resources.
What's in store
HERE are some facts about the proposed redevelopment of the Red River Floodway:
It will be one of the largest natural areas for recreation in the country when it's completed over the next 10 to 20 years.
At 6,500 acres, it will be about the same size as 16 Assiniboine Parks.
There will be approximately 800,000 trees planted at various points along the channel.
The redevelopment will cover 250 metres on both sides of the floodway from St. Norbert in the south to Lockport in the north. (A football field is about 100 metres long.)
The long-term plans calls for a paving of the 3.7-metre-wide trail on the west side of the floodway.

My mom is sabotaging my yarn arts!!

Too funny!!
My grandmother keeps giving me pattern to make and pushes me to do them NOW!! That's why some of my projects are still UFOs. But at least she sticks to pushing crochet on me instead of trying to get me to do something different.
You'll get it all done. Just take your time and don't stress. Once you do go on Maternity leave, you'll have something to while away the hours too. Trust me, you'll have a lot of them to kill. The anticipation of the coming attraction will probably make you too fidgity to sleep on some nights, so now you have something to do at those times.
|Wed, 02-08-2006 - 1:16am
Careful to avoid letting your life become a bunch of unfinished projects. Finish a couple of the UFO's first then start the quilt.
BTW, what is a UFO in the world of yarn?
Catch me
|Wed, 02-08-2006 - 8:49am
My UFO's (unfinished objects) in my world of yarn include:
- baby sweater (like 99% done, I'll finish it this week)
- sweater for my husband (on the back burner until baby comes, and he knows that!)
Guess that's it for now - thought I had a lot more to do but when I think about it I'm doing pretty good :)
Thanks for making me think about it!
