Lent is certainly a time to rid ourselves of disordered loves--mortal and venial sins: breaches greater or less against the natural moral law and against the laws of the Church. For those starting on the spiritual journey this is the beginning. An important beginning, but a beginning nevertheless. But it is a time also to purify our love of God by focusing on those areas where we might motivated by natural loves only or degrees of supernatural love that could stand purifying.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Lent is a time to learn to love the Lord Jesus, not for what we might avoid by loving him (Hell), nor by what we might gain by loving him (Heaven). Though those are reasonable enough motives, and supernatural at that, they are still stained with love of self.
In its fullness, Lent calls us to go beyond such utilitarian motives to the "useless" motive that is behind all pure love. Jesus, I love You simply and only because of Who You Are.
In his classic work, De Diligendo Deo (On Loving God), St. Bernard of Clairvaux identified four degrees of love of God.
The first degree St. Bernard identifies is when man rightly loves God implicitly in and through nature. This is a wholly natural love. One might say it is a natural image of God's love: imago caritatis Dei. There is no disorder involved in this love. It is a perfect compliance with the natural moral law. Yet it is hardly a Christian ideal. And given our fallen state, without grace it is not likely to be achieved.
Proceeding beyond this lowest of all degrees we begin to encounter degrees of love that are based upon supernatural motive and are therefore inspired by grace. They are therefore potentially salvific. These loves are theological in nature, and participate, in various ways, in the theological virtue of charity.
The second degree of love identified by St. Bernard is where man loves God, but only for his own (man's) good. Avoiding hell. Gaining heaven. In terms of repentance, at best this sort of motive gives us attrition. And just like attrition is a half-sister to contrition--true and perfect sorrow--so is this second degree of love a half-sister to true charity as might be found in the third degree, and particularly the fourth degree, of love identified by St. Bernard.
The third degree of love consists of loving God for the sake of God. This is a pure love, but it is deficient in communion, as it still views reality is consisting of "I" and "Thou." It is a love of one person loving another, but loving in separateness, not in intimate communion.
The fourth and highest degree of love identified by St. Bernard is when one loves himself only in God. This love arises only when there is an intimate communion between a man and God. It is no longer a situation of "I" and "Thou." It is like a marriage, analogous to the conjugal act, and "I" and "Thou" become a "We."
"To reach this state," St. Bernard says, "is to become godlike." Sic affici, deificari est. It is reached in its perfection only in Heaven, when we enjoy the beatific vision, but the near perfect in this world--the saints--approach it to a degree even here.
Jesus, in fact, is the paradigm of this love which unifies, which is "We" and not "I" and "Thou": "All I have is yours," Jesus tells the Father, "and all you have is mine." (John 17:10) There is nothing each keep from each other. The essential core of Jesus' high priestly prayer in the Chapter 17 of the Gospel of John is that we "may be one" in God, like Jesus and the Father are one.
Lent is certainly a time to rid ourselves of disordered loves--mortal and venial sins: breaches greater or less against the natural moral law or the law of the Church. For those starting on the spiritual journey this is the beginning. An important beginning, but a beginning nevertheless.
But it is a time also to purify our love of God by focusing on those areas where we might motivated by natural loves or degrees of love that could stand purifying. This, in fact, is the very purpose behind the traditional disciplines of Lent: alms-giving, fasting, and abstinence.
When we give alms, or fast, or abstain from meat flesh, or adopt some other lenten practice we are not getting rid of sinful things, but we are voluntarily sacrificing natural goods we naturally love for motives that are supernatural. We are giving these things up to develop the second, third, and fourth degrees of love of God.
Lent, therefore starts us on our journey of repentance, but it also seeks to purify our love of God so that ideally, with the help of our God's grace, after Lent we are in some manner more pure in our love of God than before Lent.
It is difficult to find a more perfect example of pure love of God than the Spanish love poem--a sonnet--to Jesus Crucified, Jes�s Crucificado. Often, it is wrongly attributed to St. Theresa of Avila, St. Francis Xavier, or even St. Ignatius of Loyola or Pedro de los Reyes, but it appears to have been an anonymous poem. It bears the sure signs of 16th century Spanish piety, with its typical and healthy emphasis on the humanity of Our Lord, though never forgetting his divinity.
In his reflections entitled More Paradoxes, Henri De Lubac calls this poem a "poetic masterpiece," one "that is the most magnificent expression of pure love." It is quite similar to, though not exactly like, the lovely Latin prayer O Deus, ego amo te, Oh God I Love you, attributed to St. Francis Xavier and translated by such literary giants such as his fellow Jesuit Gerard Manley Hopkins, or the poets Alexander Pope, or John Dryden.
The poem is a good meditation for Lent. It is impossible to translate it well into English, and so I provide the original Spanish with a more-or-less faithful and literal translation.
No me mueve, mi Dios, para quererte
el cielo que me tienes prometido,
ni me mueve el infierno tan temido
para dejar por eso de ofenderte.
I am not moved, my God, to love you
By the heaven which you've promised
Nor am I moved by the Hell I fear
And for that reason not to offend you.
�T� me mueves, Se�or!
Mu�veme el verte
clavado en una cruz y escarnecido;
mu�veme ver tu cuerpo tan herido;
mu�venme tus afrentas y tu muerte.
You move me Lord!
It moves me to see you
Humiliated and nailed to a cross;
It moves me to see your body wounded so;
It moves me to behold your suffering and death.
Mu�venme en fin, tu amor,
y en tal manera
que aunque no hubiera cielo, yo te amara,
y aunque no hubiera infierno, te temiera.
Ultimately, I am moved by your love
And in such a manner that
Even if there were not heaven, I would love you,
And even if there were not hell, I would fear you.
No me tienes que dar porque te quiera,
pues aunque lo que espero no esperara,
lo mismo que te quiero te quisiera.
You need give me nothing for me to love you,
For even if I had no hope for things hoped for
I would love you the same as I love you.
During Lent, that's the kind of love of God we should strive for, pray for by Good Friday. �T� y solo tu me mueves, Se�or! You, Lord, and you alone, move me to love you!

Conor McAleny's loan deal at Brentford has been brought to an early end after he picked up a serious injury last week.
The forward, who has just turned 21, joined The Bees on loan from Everton for the first half of the 2013/14 season and will stay at Griffin Park initially until January 6.
However, in last week's Sky Bet League One match against Walsall, Conor suffered a broken leg.
He is expected to be out for most of the 2013/14 season.
In the circumstance, the clubs have agreed to end the loan deal early.
Mark Warburton, Brentford FC Sporting Director, said: "The injury sustained by Conor was of course a devastating blow to the player and to all associated with Brentford FC.
"Conor had already displayed his evident talent and we were all looking forward to watching his contribution in the months ahead.
"However, such injuries are part and parcel of the game and the good news is that his recovery will be overseen by the excellent medical team at Everton, a club with whom we have an excellent relationship.
"Everton have immediately acted in the most professional and respectful manner to the club and have taken the player back with immediate effect.
"This is a superb gesture on their part and my sincere thanks go to [Head of Football Operations] David Harrison, [Manager] Roberto Martinez and [Under-21 Manager] Alan Stubbs for the way in which they have reacted to this situation.
"It just leaves me to say that everyone at Brentford wishes Conor a swift and speedy return to full fitness and we hope very much that we can see him back on loan with the club in the not too distant future."
Brentford Manager Uwe Rösler said: "We all wish Conor all the best.
"He did very well for us and will be a big miss, he would be welcome back at any time.
"He started his Brentford career in a very promising way.
"We can see how hard it will be to replace him and get someone in with his qualities and his hunger.
"It was very unfortunate and it will be good for him to be close to his friends and family for his rehabilitation."
Conor has been with Everton since he was 11 and was given a squad number for the 2009/10 season, which started when he was just 16.
He made his Everton debut in December 2011 and has made two Premier League appearances as a substitute.
He played four Sky Bet League One games for The Bees and scored twice in a pre-season friendly win over Cardiff City.

My lower back hurts. Hate that. Don't know why...
Anyhooters, I'm adding more classes to the schedule today and had a KILLER BRAINSTORMING session last night (thank you Vyvanse at 3pm). Soooo much cool stuff I want to put into action, I'm actually pretty overwhelmed by it all, 'cause it's just lil' ole' me doing everything. Heyyyy...if anyone wants to be my bitc--errrr--work for fre--errrr--be an INTERN...yeah...an Intern...that's it...(SEE MORE)
My client Brenda took private lessons with me so she could surprise her husband with a sexy dance on his birthday...and this is what she emailed me the day after, and it REALLY made me feel good!
Last night went great! At the Restaurant the song Black Velvet played. I knew everything would be ok at that point. It was like you were there coaching me along. It was torturous getting there..the obstacles were many, but they didn't stop me. lol. Story of my life.
You were right I just got to the first set of moves in the lap dance it was all over. I have this text Dave sent me when we left the restaurant that I'll always keep, "You're sexy".
You know I never ever could have pulled that night off without you. You are such a good teacher and you enabled me to regain confidence in my life. Not only could I have never gone into a bar wearing that black dress, I never could have pulled off the rest of the night. Heck I'm more confident all the way around now.
I'm also a Church Scholar and wrote The Deaths of the Popes: Comprehensive Accounts Including Funerals, Burial Places, and Epitaphs (McFarland, 2004).
i'm also a Medium, so if there's anyone dead you want to talk to, let me know but DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING UNLESS I ASK.
I never tried to be a medium, it just started happening a few years ago. I'm still afraid it's my imagination, but I've been wayyyy too accurate in the hundreds and hundreds of readings I've done for clients at the studio for it to be imagination. If you join a session I'll give you a free reading (provided there's time, or I can do it on the phone).
I don't get the lottery numbers though. I tried.

When: 7 p.m. Friday
Where: Aliso Niguel High School; 28000 Wolverine Way, Aliso Viejo
Records: Aliso Niguel 1-4; Saddleback Valley Christian 3-1
What to watch: In its final nonleague tune-up before the Sea View League title chase kicks off, the Wolverines look to end a two-game losing streak against one of the better small-school team in the county.
One week removed from playing CIF-SS Pac-5 Division superpower Mission Viejo, a team with more than 80 players and one of the highest profiles in the county, Aliso Niguel will shift gears and take on one of the smaller outfits around in Saddleback Valley Christian, a Northeast Division school with a roster numbering fewer than 30.
For the Wolverines, a Southwest Division program of intermediate size in relation to Mission Viejo and Saddleback Valley Christian, both games are part of the same nonleague experiment to see where they rank on the food chain, coach Kurt Westling said.
"Our philosophy was to play Mission and see how good we are and how we compete against someone bigger and a premier program," said Westling, whose team lost to Mission Viejo last week, 56-7, to fall to 1-4. "(Saddleback Valley Christian) is trying to see how they do against a team that's a little bigger. It's part of the same philosophy; they're trying to step it up and see how good they are."
Aside from a Week 2 road loss to Polytechnic of Pasadena, Saddleback Valley Christian, which is ranked 10th in the Northeast Division, has had little trouble with its small school competition. The Warriors dispatched Riverside Christian, 48-6, last week for their second straight win by 40 or more points and have allowed just eight combined points in their three wins this season.
With a deep running back corps led by James Bethea and Justin Sanchez dominating much of the action thus far, Westling said Warriors quarterback Jake Markum may be yet to show his full potential.
"They spread the ball out to everybody," Westling said. "Their quarterback does a good job of spreading the ball out to all the receivers and then also running the ball; they're pretty balanced. I think they actually prefer passing, but they have been so much better than their opponents they've been running the ball more."
Wolverines starting tailback Ryan Walker suffered a rib injury in last week's game and is unlikely to play this week, Westling said. That sets up Cole Thomas to take on the feature back role in his first game back from his own injury.
Remi Wasserbach, who has shared a quarterback platoon with Nick Chapman all season, will also see more snaps in the backfield and at receiver this week, which could give Chapman increased opportunity to flourish under center.
Tight end Alec Stewart is also doubtful to play Friday.
"We're going to see what we can do in practice and see what we can exploit," Westling said.

85 Undead Warlock
"Horde Till the Death" is now recruiting. We are a down home good hearted group of players on the horde side of velen, looking for classes of all shapes and sizes. The prime focus of the guild is to have fun above all else, our philosophy is "if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!" Leave your drama at home and come willing to learn, progress (as a player and a guild), and bond with some pretty cool people. Ultimately we are here to help everyone in the guild. If you need help with gear we can help, if you need help with builds we can help, if you need help with rotations, we can help. Even if you just want to sit in vent and make fun of a lock (that's me) we can accommodate! The lot of us have families and jobs and REAL LIFE that we tend too so hard core raid times and applications(and all the other shenanigans that comes with a hardcore raiding guild)are no where to be found in this guild.
We are currently level 9 with full intention and dedication to get to level 25. A majority of us have been playing for 5+ years and know the in's and out's of the game. We all have, at one time or another, been in a "hardcore" raiding guild and all agree, that's not what were looking for this time around. However, we would like to progress through some current in-game content. At the moment, we have approximately 50+ members and about 10-12 active every night, and we are working on "intro" raids such as BH and BWD.
If you're looking for the "fast track" we're probably not the guild for you. Casual is our favorite word, and do not intend on changing that fact. We do however love people that take initiative and set events on the calendars if there is something they want to do, can take a joke or two(as well as dish them out),and be willing to help out.
Currently, we are gearing up a dedicated 10 man raid grp, among other things. Again our main goal is to have fun and enjoy the GAME we all know and love., As well as going back and farming some achievements in "old world" content if that's your thing. As always knowing how to play your toon and having gear is a plus but in this guild it's not mandatory, we are willing and able to help.
The only thing that is required from anyone is Guild loyalty, desire to play, and willing to learn.
What we offer:Standard guild stuff (i.e.: vent, 7 tab bank, free repairs ..etc)
Friendly and helpful members
Mature atmosphere, geared towards adults
Working towards weekend or evening raids
No drama, no begging, no handouts and no power leveling
Things were looking for in new members are:
People that enjoy playing the game, and are looking for a long term guild to call home.
A laid back personality, we like to have a good time together, try not to take things too seriously.
Age 18+ preferred (I believe our average member age is 20-40)
If you have any questions respond in thread or if you like what you see ask a member in game
Serious inquiries only please wsp in game: Suege/Hititnquitit/Rumplfoskin/Shadowbani/crugar(all will be happy to oblige with more info. thanks for your time, and as a caveat this is my first attempt to recruit and my first time posting on the forums, so please be kind and don't troll my >525 English skills lol
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.
Posts containing personal information about other players. This includes physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and inappropriate photos and/or videos.
Harassing or discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated.

Allschwil, Switz...
For my son who had asked for an eagle costume I made one out of long haired fake fur due to the not-availability of feather-fabric. The pattern is based on the wookie-costume, January issue of the Burda magazine (152, 1/2013). I cut out the hood longer to go down to the shoulders, added the wings and shortened the pant legs to 3/4 length.
The beak is made out of papier mch and covered with fabric. Hope you like it – my son does.

I am the person who originally wrote the information in the first post about the fog. I wrote it a few years ago in another forum similar to this one a number of months after I had discovered my wife's affair. I am both amazed and gratified that it is able to help or comfort others who are going through what I once did.
When my wife had her affair, I was completely ignorant of it. In hindsight, there were some signs, but nothing major, nothing that would make a normal reasonable person in a long-term marriage question the loyalty of his or her spouse. The thing about it is, my wife functioned perfectly logically in every other aspect of her life while the affair was going on. Her judgment, her ability to look at a situation, whether it be buying clothes for the kids, deciding where we should go on vacation, should we fix the old washing machine that broke or buy a new one, if we were buying a new one, which one should we buy, what are the pros and cons of each one - all of these decisions, she could look at objectively, look at BOTH sides of the situation, and come up with a fair evaluation of both the GOOD and the BAD in each choice. But when it came to the guy she had the affair with, she was completely blinded to the bad, she saw only good qualities.
How could my intelligent wife be so blind? I read some of their communications, that's how I found out, it was obvious obvious obvious that he was using her for sexual purposes. It was almost like she reverted back to being a naive 13-year-old girl. When I read her communications to the other guy, that's what I thought of - she sounds like she's in high school and this is her very first boyfriend.
When I first found out about the affair, I lurked on a bunch of these sites and read a lot of the threads. A LOT. I went back years and perused and found many situations that were similar to mine, same basic marriage before the affair, same "rainbows and unicorns" attitude from the cheaters toward their affair partner.
As someone else here posted, I don't think I could be so blind as that.
Also, I've never liked the term "the fog." I don't believe it is an excuse for cheating. But it is a behavior that many cheaters have in common while they are in their affair, and sometimes for quite a while afterward.
Assuming your spouse is actually in the fog, and many are, the best way to snap them out of it, in my opinion, is bring them harshly back into reality. Leave them. Or ask them to leave. DO NOT BE THERE AS THEIR "SAFETY NET." Let them really know, you WILL NOT be there for them. Force them to make a choice.
If they choose the affair partner, and many do, it forces them to deal with their new relationship in the real world, no longer in the "what if" and "if only" "rainbows and unicorns" fantasy land. They must start making plans to be together, they must deal with each other's real-life flaws, YOU THE BETRAYED no longer will be there to watch the kids, do the laundry, pick up the slack while they focus solely on the fun of the affair. Many will snap out of the fog at this time IF, and this is a big IF, you hold firm that you refuse to compromise on the basics - the affair must end and they must re-commit to the marriage. NO CONTACT IS A MUST. If that means quitting a job, deleting their facebook account, deleting their email account and sharing yours, then that is what must be done. Exposure may or may not be helpful, depending on the circumstance, I call it 50-50 based on what I've seen. Telling the affair partner's spouse is almost always very effective.
One huge mistake many betrayeds make is accepting the cheater back with no real ACTION on the part of the cheater. The cheater just gives lip service, yes I love you, yes I recommit to you, but then doesn't do anything like quit their job or delete their facebook or do things to help you get over it. TALK is cheap. ACTIONS speak much louder than words, the old cliche is true. Also true I think is that you have to be willing to lose your marriage in order to save it.
If there is true NO CONTACT, the fog almost always lifts before three months is up. If they still are in the fog after three months, almost definitely they still are in contact if not actively cheating. There also is a common behavior among betrayeds, not all, but many, that is like a kind of "betrayed fog," where the betrayed does not live in "reality" when it comes to acknowledging what their cheating spouse really is doing.
When I went through this with my wife, I took a hard line, I was ready to divorce immediately and she begged for a second chance, which I gave. That hard line was my natural reaction, I hadn't yet discovered or sought out any infidelity or reconciliation advice, it was a gut reaction to when I first found out. I really was ready to divorce, although I didn't want to, but I also didn't want to live with a woman who didn't love me and wasn't committed to me 100%. I was not willing to be anyone's "second choice" or "back up plan" or "plan B." I noticed when I searched through other people's experiences that this reaction and attitude more often than not worked much better than trying to negotiate or compromise with the cheater. What works best I think is to say, "Quit the affair, dump the affair partner, no contact ever again, or I'm filing for divorce."
There was something that someone else wrote called "Just Let Them Go" (I think that's what it was called) which I found helpful after I first found out.
Whenever I struggled in the reconciliation, I told myself I would be OK no matter what. I told myself that I could leave at any time, as long as she was doing what I needed, I would give her one more day. Over time, it was a bit up and down, it wasn't a straight line, but things improved.
What is Disloyal Fog?
~Author, anonymously known as Pit-of-my-stomach on Talk About Marriage forum
Adapted, with permission, from the thread Never Say Never
I dont think the majority of people involved in affairs, or even drugs for that matter, set out with the intention of becoming drug addicts or adulterers. It is a snow ball effect. Most people dont even know its rolling until its already gained significant speed and can very easily get out of control.
The Disloyal Spouse doesnt always realize what is happening or they see it through the fog. A bad (often dismissed as innocent) decision starts the ball rolling, which forces another bad decision, which may be difficult to cope with, which is rationalized, which kicks in all of the defense mechanisms, which force more bad decisions
. Etc, etc, etc
You are not as strong as your mind, and in affair situations your mind IS ON DRUGS. It most often starts as something innocent
Chemicals get naturally released into the brainfed small doses of love drugs i.e. phenyl ethylamine (or PEA a naturally occurring trace ammine in the brain. PEA is a natural amphetamine, which releases Dopamine. Dopamine stimulates the production of oxytocin). This begins intrusive thinking, where it seems like your brain is fixated on the object of your affection. When your heart rules your head, theres actually one part of your brain running the other: the cortex is the area of your brain that controls logical thinking, while emotions are processed by the limbic system. When too many happy chemicals like PEA and dopamine flood your brain, they head straight for the limbic system.
The Disloyal Spouse is now on the addiction path. Then their mind can begin a process of defensive mechanisms which can and will shield them from realizing what is really happening, and before they know itthey lose control. But most often I believe the Disloyal Spouse thinks they are in control of the situation as does any addict. They dont see it; after all that IS a defense mechanism. Its your minds way of protecting itself, an unconscious process that tries to reduce the anxiety associated with instinctive desires. The most well known and common defense mechanisms in the mind of an adulterer would be Denial, Rationalization, and Repression.
Denial is probably one of the best known defense mechanisms, used often to describe situations in which people seem unable to face reality or admit an obvious truth (i.e. more than friends) Denial is an outright refusal to admit or recognize that something has occurred or is currently occurring.
Denial functions to protect the ego from things with which the individual does not want to cope (for example, guilt). While this may save us from anxiety or pain, denial also requires a substantial investment of energy. Because of this, other defenses are also used to keep these unacceptable feelings from consciousness.
An example of denial might be: I know we texted and talked on the cell phone for 6000 minutes this month, but were just friends! Its not an emotional affair!
Rationalization is a defense mechanism that involves trying to explain an unacceptable behavior or feeling in a rational or logical manner, avoiding the true reasons for the behavior. Rationalization not only prevents anxiety, it may at the time seem to protect self-esteem, self-concept, and personal dignity. Rationalization can kick in when confronted by perceived moral failure or wrongdoing (for example, on Discovery Day); people tend to blame other people or outside forces rather than take personal responsibility.
An example of rationalization might be: You ignored me when I wanted to talk so I have a right to find someone who pays attention to me or I never did love youIve been unhappy for YEARS so I found someone else.
Suppression is another well-known defense mechanism. Suppression acts to keep information out of forefront of your conscious awareness (for example, selective memory regarding conversations or acts with the Other Person). Sometimes we do this consciously by forcing the unwanted information out of our awareness, which is known as repression
An example of suppression might be the Disloyal Spouse claiming to forget when they first had sex with the Other Personclaiming I dont know. An example of repression might be the Disloyal Spouse purposefully forgetting how happy they were just last Christmas.
Sublimation, Displacement, Projection and Intellectualization are other defense mechanisms which play small parts in the process of mental self protection in affair or addiction situations
Often the Disloyal Spouse attributes outside forces to what happened that lead to an affair (for example. it just happened). Outside forces dont get people into these situations, but inside forces can
Thus, a person is responsible for their actions and the decisions they made to get to that point. Your brain + the love drugs (amphetamine, oxytocin, dopamine, etc.
) + addiction defense mechanisms can lead to situations that put your marriage and family in jeopardy. So protect yourself and your marriage! It could happen to almost anyone, dont kid yourself!
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29
It slows down their answers to your questions, because they are thinking how to say things so you won't feel hurt right now and they can say to themselves that they're acting to "help" keep you from hurting.
The Fog isn't just something the cheater is in, it's something that they surround themselves in to keep the truth hidden from us. The Fog scares us because we know we're not seeing things as they really are, just a partial reality to keep us away from the truth.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword
Affair(s) are the ultimate cowardly move.
Even the 'fog' summation of 'having cake and eating it too' implies not being able to take the risk by leaving the 'safe' relationship behind to pursue another relationship.
To me, someone engaged in affair(s) behavior has no sense of self worth and truly must feel completely pathetic to pursue and engage in this behavior. To a certain degree I wonder how much digging at FOO and other issues is a deflection/justification as it ultimately dilutes the simple fact that they wanted and chose everything that happened and that at that moment in time, it was ok for them.

There's a story in every bottle, and these six rums have more to tell than most. From Jmaica to Martinique to Guadeloupe, each rum was masterfully distilled and aged, then blended to perfection. Distiller's are a respectful lot – witness this assembled homage to persons who fundamentally shaped their distillery's character.
The Edwin Charley Proprietor's Collection consists of four amazing rums. Each is packaged in a numbered, hand-blown Venetian glass bottle featuring an iconic glass figurine inside. The series pays homage to the sugar and rum making process; from growing the cane, to harvesting, then distilling, and culminating in the single-barrel aging of rum.
Edwin Charley Foundation shows respect for mother nature and the sugarcane plant. The figurine inside every bottle is of a ripe cane stalk; delicate, sweet and standing proud. Foundations is perhaps the finest white overproof rum Rum Gallery has ever tasted.
Edwin Charley Transformation honors the human labor that goes into producing rum, transfoming sugarcane juice to a noble spirit. The figurine is a machete-wielding cane cutter harvesting the crop.
Edwin Charley Enlightenment faitfully reflects its noble pot-distilled heritage. A bulbous pot still icon ensconsed inside every bottle tells the story of one of the most appealing Jamaican rums available today.
Edwin Charley Virtue with it's oak barrel icon ensconsed inside every bottle, this might be the most appealing Jamaican rum available today. It is massively complex, delicious, and highly aromatic. It will reset your expectations for how old Jamaican rum should taste.
Bologne Chevalier de St-Georges honors "the Black Mozart" born at the distiller's estate and arguably th emost accomplished musical artist of Guadloupe."
Rhum J.M Cuvée du Fondateur "Rums that earn a 10 transcend quantitative measures and achieve qualitative perfection. Rhum J.M's Cuvée du Fondateur is such a rhum."
Events and Travels
The Rum Lab is making waves in the heart of Bourbon Country. The first Midwest Rum Festival takes place in Louisville, Kentucky on December 6. Sample sugarcane spirits in the heart of Bourbon country.
Rum Bahamas Festival returns to Nassau February 27-March 1 for more food, rum and culture at historic Fort Charlotte. Rum Gallery will be there to judge rum and sample all the goodies. Please join us!

Two months back OlinData announced OpsTheatre, a pluggable
operations dashboard that runs on Node.js. Our in-house dev team believes this tool will be key in eliminating a growing
issue in the DevOps community - the duplication of Operations Management tools. On top of that, we open sourced the project
as we believe community support and involvement will be integral in the realization, manifestation and shaping of this vision.
It has been a while since the PuppetConf 2014 ended in San Francisco and there are lot of news that came out of it as usual. But, the biggest news is during the keynote that Luke Kanies, CEO of PuppetLabs announced there will be a new Puppet Server. A new Puppet Server? Yup. A Puppet Server and its not the same as our current Puppet Master. Curious on what this means I decided to check out the preview. All my opinions stated below are my own and does not reflect any of OlinData or PuppetLabs.
Puppet includes a basic puppet master web server based on Ruby's WEBrick library. This default server cannot be used for real-life loads, as it can't handle concurrent connections; it is only suitable for small tests with ten nodes or fewer. You must configure a production quality web server before you start managing your nodes with Puppet i.e. more robust – namely Apache and Passenger.
Having just come back from PuppetConf 2014 in the San Francisco last week, there have been a lot of new developments. Some of the most significant changes since Puppet was started all the way 10 years back have been announced.
OpsTheatre is a fully open source pluggable operations dashboard. It's ultimate goal is to host multiple other dashboards tightly integrated into OpsTheatre so you can manage your whole infrastructure from one location. OpsTheatre is a modular app with a backend built in node.js. It's frontend is currently an angular.js app which talks to the backend through REST API's. Both the frontend and the backend support plugins or modules.
pt-query-digest is a tool available from Percona for analysis of MySQL queries from slow log, general log and binary log files. It can also analyze queries from mysql processlist and tcpdump mysql data. It is one of the best tools for slow query analysis on mysql server and can help you to improve mysql performance and efficiency.
pt-stalk tool collects MySQL diagnostic data for further analysis to resolve intermittent issues.
Disclaimer: Obviously I'm not entirely unbiased as we're one of 4 worldwide linux foundation training partners, and if you want to get trained up for this certification we're one of the places you can go.
Puppet is a ruby based configuration management tool (IT automation software), licensed under Apache 2.0 designed to help system administrators, automate many repetitive task they regularly perform . It is open-source, flexible, customizable framework for managing the configuratons of computer system. It defines and enforce the state of your infrustructure throughout the software development cycle. Puppet ensures consistency and dependability across your infrustrucutre.

Good week for:
Major shocks, after former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken revealed to the world that he is, in fact, gay.
Calignosity, niddering, fusby, and olid, which are among two dozen archaic words that a British dictionary publisher has promised to retain in its next edition if the public can be persuaded to use them more regularly. The words mean darkness, cowardly, squat, and foul smelling, respectively.
Promotions, after Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, buoyed by her popularity on the campaign trail, said that life would be better in "a Palin and McCain administration," and repeatedly referred to McCain as her "running mate."
Bad week for:
Joe Biden, whose penchant for gaffes reportedly landed him in Barack Obama's doghouse. In just one week, the Democratic vice presidential nominee contradicted the Obama campaign several times, vowing in coal-rich Ohio to close all the coal-burning plants and saying of an Obama ad mocking John McCain's ignorance about the Internet: "I thought that was terrible."
Dirty magazines, after more than 100 Christian bookstores hid the new issue of Gospel Today behind the counter because the cover features five female pastors. Many Southern Baptists believe it is offensive and un-Christian to let women preach.
Online bragging, after a group of college students hyped their party business on MySpace by saying they'd hosted more than 100 events. When the state of Oklahoma then hit them with a $320,000 tax bill, the students insisted they'd hosted only 20.

Rand Paul @ The Values Voters Summit - Oct. 11, 2013! Sneaky: Please Watch the ENTIRE Speech before Formulating an Opinion!Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Fri, 10/11/2013 - 14:22
Sen. Paul Speaks at Values Voter Summit- October 11, 2013
Published on Oct 11, 2013
** Personal Note: Please watch the entire speech!
You'll be pleasantly surprised by Rand's rather brilliant rhetorical tactic!
Frankly, watching this, I'm more impressed than EVER with Rand!
If you don't watch the whole thing, you're gonna be like: 'What the... Why does he sound suddenly more neoCon-y than a neoCon?? It's all "Islamic Jihad"-this, "Islamic Jihad"-that! Like, WTF? F? F?'
Initially, I was so incensed, I was about to 'delete' the thread by blanking it (seeing as how there's no "Delete Thread" button).
Then, you realize how clever the lad is: just when you think he's built up the audience's righteous indignation about how 'they're waging a war on Christians, and it's not being talked about:' imbuing the audience with a righteous indignant empathy for the victims, and by tribal religious proxy, a victim themselves.
At one point, he even goes 'far' as to assert that actually the current Islamic persecution vs. the Christians reminds him of the Crusades!
But then, here come the sneaky R3d-Pill: Rand points out how Obama is helping/aiding the murder/killing/persecution vs. Christians in the Middle East by aiding the Jihadists with arms and funds. Though IMO, this is precisely when he really could've completely destroyed Maggot Graham & John McNutt by clearly stating that their votes along with Dems are how oBUSHma is able to get away with funding Al-CIA-da. But, be that as it may...
What's more important? He continues to press on the fact that the entire onus of 'keeping Islam peaceful' is on other Muslims to NOT tolerate terrorism in their name, themselves.
So far so good.
But Rand is just building up.
Then, the strategy becomes clear: Islam has to police itself.
As in: 'We,' the Americans, ARE NOT going to intervene in your affairs, nor should we.
Initially Rand makes it seem like he's going along with the usual neocon party line of 'blame the entire Muslim population & Islam' for LETTING this all occur, and how perhaps the solution IS to flex America's military might to drive those jihadists out of those lands where Christians are being persecuted. (It's like, never mind almost century of American intervention abroad in between AND post-European colonialists in those regions.)
BUT, when Rand repeats the "Muslims must police themselves"-meme a few more times, you can almost sense some neocons in the audience 'waking up' to what he's actually saying, too (as exemplified by the raucous cheer to confused almost pensive silence): America will not and SHOULD NOT resolve the Muslim world's own problems by militarily intervening, sacrificing 'our' financial and physical wealth in and of 'our' youths, everywhere all the time.
Then, he actually states to a TheoCon audience that Islam brought enlightenment to the world via innovations in math, literature and science, at one time. And he's factually historically correct, of course!
And, how the Muslim world should want to make that the example by which the world sees them; rhetorical, but it seems to eventually work on Values Voters Summit's audience.
Rand didn't smear Islam nor Muslims, at all: he praised them, factually, historically correctly where it is true, and condemned the aspects where one must.
Rand had the audience rapt in the palm of his hands.
Pretty interesting to observe how he can speak to various crowd saying the same things, while often sounding tailor-made for a specific audience. But, if you really listen to how and what he's saying, it's the same principled stance; sure the rhetoric is definitely a bit more 'polemical' than how his father would've addressed similar issues. But frankly, it's like if Ron was at 70deg. Fahrenheit saying something, Rand's just saying them at 82degrees, but same content.
I personally found his rhetorical tactic to be quite brilliant, and most impressive. Most impressive.
Check it out y'all. Let me know what you think!

Watch the original before you spread smears
He did a better job praising Islamic world achievements than you'll see from any politician. Watch it.
Michael Scheuer would agree w/ Sen. Paul's statistics I believe.

"If you're into political activism, at least for Ron Paul if not for anyone else, I strongly recommend spending some time with iroots.org." - Tom Woods
me thinks the following was whom you meant to reply:
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
are you replying to me?
Because if you are, apparently you didn't read it all before replying or entirely missed the point I was making; plus I request one fully watch the entire speech before jumping to conclusions in the thread's headline...which, coincidentally is the same point you're making, no?
Plus you may want to read many of the comments below if you need third party verification; most of the responding DP r3vol knew the point I was trying to make: this, is not what a "smear" looks like.0)
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
I think that was genius.
A lot of these people need baby steps, and they need to hear it in language they understand and relate with.
He is lighting brushfires!
It is sad to see poor, wimpy
It is sad to see poor, wimpy Rand flattering the Neocons, ignoring the fact that it has consistently been U.S. policy to support anti-Christian cadres, while overthrowing regimes that defend Christianity. Once the U.S. has pushed the Assad regime out, the Syrian Christian church--a church personally evangelized by Jesus Christ--will be quickly demolished. If the Americans went home and left Assad alone, Christians in Syria would be pretty safe. But the Neocons will not like Rand if he says this, so he dissembles, hoping to be loved. He may gain some support from among the Neocons and government contractors--who knows? But he will never have the wholehearted support of the Ron Paul faction. And he doesn't seem to care much.
"But he will never have the wholehearted support of the Ron Paul
Even if that were true, it doesn't really matter. We can't muster many votes on our own.
And if you spoke for the "Ron Paul faction", it would matter even less if he were supported by it... because it would be crazy.
I don't get your complaint
Ron would have blamed the US intervention, as Rand did, for creating hatred and feeding violence.
But did Ron ever blame Islam and point out how Christianity was being targeted? I can't recall a time - but I'm old and my memory sucks.
I don't think it is the US govt job to defend Christians (of other countries). But it is the presidents opportunity to use the "bully pulpit" to point out injustice.
I agree with Rand's approach. Now I'll be interested to see if he has the guts to repeat this speech in front of his enemies in the press and in front of muslims.
Nobody said it is the
Nobody said it is the responsibility of the US government to protect Christians abroad. It is the responsibility of the US government not to finance the targeted extermination of religious groups, including Christians.
FRC videos
are at : http://www.frcaction.org/get.cfm?i=PG13J03
The schedule was Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Tim Scott this morning. Brent Bozell introduced Cruz and reamed McCain.
I caught Ted Cruz live on cspan this morning. His responses to the heckling were priceless. Cruz got many standing ovations. He asked this question: Do you want your children or grandchildren to ask you "What was it like when America was free?"
Rand followed Cruz that's why he offered to give the hecklers a ride back to the White House. Rand did an excellent job. I like his style.
in "his Prius"
at that, as he joked. Lol
Yep. Cruz handled it pretty well, too; I always wondered why most speakers (morally and principally in the right) being heckled don't simply invite them on stage to let them say their greivances, debate them, and let the audience judge the comments and simply let the empty rhetoric/pre-designed talking points-driven rants to implode spectacularly, on stage, for the entire world to see.
I know I would.
Now had the speaker been GWB or Dickhead Cheney, of course, they deserve to be heckled. And arguendo, if the heckler were to be brought on stage to say their piece, anyone even informed with a modicum of perfunctory knowledge would simply crush these vile murderous warcriminal creatures from Hades.
Which of course, is the reason why the guilty never want their critics' voices to be heard, but given how someone in the right, like Cruz, regardless of what one may think of the overall effectiveness of the 'filibuster' vs Rand's, we all know that he could easily verbally rip 'em apart, as he gleefully invited them to such challenge, as he stated in that speech. Lol.
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
That was beautiful
Rand is a great speaker, one of the best we have.
I agree - he got them all riled up - then slam dunked them with some real history and common sense.
I just like that the man never reads from a card or a prompter, or at least he is very good at preparing.
I agree that he is an excellant speaker...
... but he did have a teleprompter this time. He has gotten a lot better at appearing as if he does not.
We need to get an early start on 2016: Support Rand PAC 2016
great thread AnCap
That speech for that audience was epic. those folks go to church a few days a week.
I often wonder if rand ever strategizes with his dad. rand has said mom is the go between... I could see that too.
Ron has to be proud and still kinda protective. Dunno....
I hope jack hunter writes the book. :)
'Peace is a powerful message.' Ron Paul
thanks .o)
Yup I too occasionally wonder about that.
Pure speculation my part despite how plausible I feel that it must be: having dealt with a few offsprings of Depression-era born parents, along with assessing an observation of cultural norms, in my experience I found them to have a much more conversationally open relationships with their mothers, than their fathers, born of that era. So, I'd too posit and agree that you may most likely be correct about Rand and Carol, IMHO.
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
Ive met Mrs. Paul a couple times. She is the sweetest most genuine person on earth. Im a very protective father. I could see her being the sweetest momma on earth and doing everything in her power to keep family together.
Regardless, Mrs. Paul is one amazing woman. She managed to be the other half of an incredible equation. It had to have very hard moments. Did you know that Ron will not travel with an unaccompanied woman? Im sure it is part strategy and mostly loyalty.
In my 7 years of support for Ron, he has never displayed anything but honesty and love for his family. Im not saying this as a fan. Im saying this because its the truth.
There is no better example of American Exceptionalism than the principles and issues that Ron has defended for 3o years.
'Peace is a powerful message.' Ron Paul
yep, love that about him; so old-school like Gary Cooper-era
sense of decorum, manners and propriety:
"Did you know that Ron will not travel with an unaccompanied woman?"
yup. it's always the little things that made the Gray Champ stand out to me .oD
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
He said Malala
Rand's the man!
Nothing Sneaky Here
He gave an honest speech that exemplifies Libertarian belief. Respect peoples freedom and don't be afraid to speak the truth.
He did not try to build hate and he did not make excuses for Islam.
People who want to shout down those who point out the evil in Islam are as bad as those who try to shout down the people who point to the evils in America.
We must deal with those in our govt and society who do not respect all people rights and we must demand of Islam that they deal with those in Islam who do not respect others rights.
Too much cheering for evil and too much schadenfreude on both sides.
yeah actually really meant it as 'sneaky'
with quotes; as you posit: he wasn't being sneaky at all, was being honest in the final equation.
frankly I actually omitted the quotes to avoid headline box word-limit. pardon .D
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
Stand with Rand
Flipped the coin on the audience and they're still spinning...
"I, __________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
There is no duration defined in the Oath
Welp, I disagree. I did not
Welp, I disagree. I did not like almost all of what he said, nor his beliefs behind the words. There are a lot of reasons those people burned the American flag, and ONE could be that they do NOT like us giving arms and aid to any side, in that country. He kept talking about how we needed to defend ourselves. He was all for going to war after 911, when a handful of criminals (if that is EVEN true) from a country we did NOT go to war with, perpetrated the attack in NY. He makes little sense to me. I did like the truths he spoke about Islamic history and the main religion, and peace, but he did not overwhelm me with a sense of his own "goodness", one bit.
Well said, Crickett.

I can appreciate your
I can appreciate your perspective. I, personally, hold out hope that while he does not take Ron's hard line stance, he still believes the philosophy. I think Rand is walking a tight rope. The tactic appears to be to speak to the things most 'reasonable' people can agree on. We DO have the right to defend ourselves, we shouldn't give aid to those who intend us harm (I believe in NO foreign aid - but any move in reduction is positive to me)
I think in many ways Ron's career reflects that of the LP... he never compromised.. not even when it might move the ball in the right direction a little as opposed to not at all. Was he wrong to do so? Absolutely not, in my opinion. But, being pragmatic, I think concessions that make progress toward the ultimate goal do more to get you there than waiting until the time (that will never come) when you get everything you want in one fell swoop. I think Rand agrees and he's playing the game better in that regard.
He did a good job in this speech of speaking to the 'hoo ra! bomb them terrorists!' potential mentality and flipping it on its head... showing that it's counter-productive, that it's not even our ability to combat with weapons.
Well, I hope you are right,
Well, I hope you are right, but I just did not see it. I saw Christian rhetoric and belief in defending ourselves against a country, after 911, when there was no country involved..(that we have an inkling of proof to identify). I think most are reading "genius" into this speech, when I see just a good speech that does not, much, resonate with me, nor my ideologies.
I hope I'm right too.

Your synopsis was spot on...
Excellent! Thanks Cap'M

This is classic Rand right here...
In the beginning of it I was like, "umm yeah yeah yeah...I'm really not in the mood for this shit right now.." Then I started to smirk as it went on because I saw what he was getting at. By the time it was done, I was like, "Holy crap...I see what you did there! Well played Randall, well played." Mind = Blown.
