Charles Krauthammer; Why we give foreign aid
Morsi is intent on getting the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman (the Blind Sheik), serving a life sentence for masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center attack that killed six and wounded more than a thousand. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood is openly anti-Christian, anti-Semitic and otherwise prolifically intolerant. Just three years ago, Morsi called on Egyptians to nurse their children and grandchildren on hatred for Jews, whom he has called "the descendants of apes and pigs."
Not exactly Albert Schweitzer. Or even Anwar Sadat. Which left a bad taste when Secretary of State John Kerry, traveling to Cairo, handed Morsi a cool $250 million. (A tenth of which would cover about 25 years of White House tours, no longer affordable under sequestration. Says the administration.)
Nonetheless, we should not cut off aid to Egypt. It's not that we must blindly support unfriendly regimes. It is perfectly reasonable to cut off aid to governments that are intrinsically hostile and beyond our influence. Subsidizing enemies is merely stupid.
But Egypt is not an enemy, certainly not yet. It may no longer be our strongest Arab ally, but it is still in play. The Brotherhood aims to establish an Islamist dictatorship. Yet it remains a considerable distance from having done so.
Precisely why we should remain engaged. And engagement means using our economic leverage.
Morsi has significant opposition. Six weeks ago, powerful anti-Brotherhood demonstrations broke out in major cities and have continued sporadically ever since. The presidential election that Morsi won was decided quite narrowly - three points, despite the Brotherhood's advantage of superior organization and a history of social service.
Moreover, having forever been in opposition, on election day the Islamists escaped any blame for the state of the country. Now in power, they begin to bear responsibility for Egypt's miserable conditions - a collapsing economy, rising crime, social instability. Their aura is already dissipating.
There is nothing inevitable about Brotherhood rule. The problem is that the secular democratic parties are fractured, disorganized and lacking in leadership. And are repressed by the increasingly authoritarian Morsi.
His partisans have attacked demonstrators in Cairo. His security forces killed more than 40 in Port Said. He's been harassing journalists, suppressing freedom of speech, infiltrating the military and trying to subjugate the courts. He's already rammed through an Islamist constitution. He is now trying to tilt, even rig, parliamentary elections to the point that the opposition called for a boycott and an administrative court has just declared a suspension of the vote.
Any foreign aid we give Egypt should be contingent upon a reversal of this repression and a granting of space to secular, democratic, pro-Western elements.
That's where Kerry committed his mistake. Not in trying to use dollar diplomacy to leverage Egyptian behavior, but by exercising that leverage almost exclusively for economic, rather than political, reform.
Kerry's major objective was getting Morsi to apply for a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Considering that some of this $4.8 billion ultimately comes from us, there's a certain comic circularity to this demand. What kind of concession is it when a foreign government is coerced into . taking yet more of our money?
We have no particular stake in Egypt's economy. Our stake is in its politics. Yes, we would like to see a strong economy. But in a country ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood?
Our interest is in a non-Islamist, nonrepressive, nonsectarian Egypt, ruled as democratically as possible. Why should we want a vibrant economy that maintains the Brotherhood in power? Our concern is Egypt's policies, foreign and domestic.
If we're going to give foreign aid, it should be for political concessions - on unfettered speech, on an opposition free of repression, on alterations to the Islamist constitution, on open and fair elections.
We give foreign aid for two reasons: (a) to support allies who share our values and our interests, and (b) to extract from less-than-friendly regimes concessions that either bring their policies more in line with ours or strengthen competing actors more favorably inclined toward American objectives.
That's the point of foreign aid. It's particularly important in countries like Egypt whose fate is in the balance. But it will only work if we remain clear-eyed about why we give all that money in the first place.

Favorite Leda flavor?
I've been having a blast perusing archives of the Sprinkles-Buttercake-Leda's-Auntie Em's-Joan's cupcakes evaluations. For my birthday I've decided to indulge in Leda's -- anyone care to weigh in on which flavors to pick first? I'm getting a dozen and am not opposed to trying one of each, if that's a reasonable option (this would mean I would personally forgo some of the flavors; not a terrible thing though). I don't know how many distinct flavors get churned out each day.
Thanks in advance all -- it's really fun reading everyone's posts!
re: aliris
I haven't been for a couple of months but the one with passionfruit and ... I can't remember was really tasty! Try a chocolate chip cookie when you pickup your cupcakes, those are good too!
PS You ARE on the LA board.
Dulce de Leche - by far! i've tried every flavor at leda's and this one i can always have seconds of, and thirds.
In order of favoriteness -
Yellow w. passionfruit filling.
Lemon with lemon filling.
Dulce de leche.
Chocolate w. raspberry filling.
And I think there was a peanut butter one.
Carrot creamcheese.
Buy the minis, and get more than you think you want/need.
The minis are very small and don't share very well.
These four seemed to be the favorites last time I bought Leda's cupcakes:
Dulce de Leche
Chocolate Peanut Butter
And I agree with techbod about buying more than you think you need. Most people can easily eat three cupcakes, as they're only about two bites each.
Enjoy! You won't be disappointed.
My favorite is the carrot cake with blood orange curd filling and mascarpone frosting. After that, I really like the passion fruit and the lemon. (I think Leda has an amazingly deft touch with citrus-type flavors.)
re: aliris
I LOVE cupcakes and this cupcake craze is making me very, very happy!! But, I live 2 hours away from all this fun!! But, I'm coming down to Van Nuys for an Agility Trial (Agility Dog Show) and Leda's is the first place I'm gonna try!!! Cannot wait....I've heard great things about it!!!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
Today's Aero-Linx was sent to us by one of our readers. The Portal Of The Folded Wings - Shrine To Aviation is the final resting place for many of aviation's pioneers. Restoration of the building began in 1995 and was completed in 2001 by an army of preservation specialists organized by the Sculpture Conservation Studio of Los Angeles. The Portal re-opened to the public in May of 1996, with a paper-display museum. The structure won several state-wide preservation awards and earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
If you have site you'd like ANN to feature, don't hesitate to send it along.

Serbia promised so much at South Africa 2010 but delivered so little...
Our man in Africa: Hard-as-nails central defender Nemanja Vidic.
Nation: Serbia.
Appearances/goals: 3/0.
Results: 0-1 Ghana, 1-0 Germany, 1-2 Australia.
In short: Indiscipline (two penalties conceded, one red card) and a lack of firepower up front cost Serbia dearly, as the White Eagles finished bottom of Group D.
So, what happened? Players like Vidic, Branislav Ivanovic, Milos Krasic and Dejan Stankovic are among the finest in Europe, and yet the Serbians never reached anything near top gear in South Africa. Even their victory against Germany came against 10 men and was achieved despite their opponents enjoying more possession, taking more shots and winning seven times as many corners. But at least that result gave Serbia the chance to reach the last 16 with victory over Australia. Again, though, the White Eagles underwhelmed and, crucially, conceded twice in four minutes midway through the second half. From there, there was no way back.
Anything to tell the grandkids? It's probably best for everyone that Serbia's South African adventures are forgotten. Except, maybe, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, who did the impossible and became the first person to save a German spot-kick in 24 years. Our man Nemanja won't even care to recall that moment – it was his error that led to the penalty award.
If they were an animal on a South African safari, they'd be... Kudu. These antelope look as if they should be dangerous but actually pose minimal threat.
Back home in a bar, they're saying... Not again! Okay, so it wasn't quite as bad as 2006 but finishing bottom of the group is nothing to be proud of.

Replacement nibs 6mm for the Bamboo Stylus
Bamboo Stylus rubber nibs are produced with the highest quality materials to ensure the best on screen feeling and experience.
However, as with most other things, after excessive or extended use it is possible that the nibs can show signs of wear.
We rigorously test all Bamboo Stylus to ensure you get to enjoy them for as long as possible, however depending on your usage level at some point they may need replacing.
The rubber nib design eliminates the need for users to apply heavy pressure when using on screen, which assists in extending the nib life. It is advisable to prevent the stylus from being dropped as this can cause premature nib damage.

- Bamboo Stylus - CS-100
- Bamboo Stylus Duo 1. Generation - CS-110

Bamboo Stylus Replacement NibsWrite a review All languages
A Necessary Evil
The stylus is the best at this price, but the cost of the nibs is a disgrace and the cost of "carriage" is ridiculous. My tracking describes the package as "up to 0.5kg"! Get a grip, the nibs probably weight less than 5g! Normal postage would be fine.
Thought I'd buy two packs to reduce the ludicrous carriage charges...guess what, the nibs deteriorate over time.
Your website!!! From a company that supports "creatives"! Called support and they were off-hand and useless.
So, good product, outrageous costs, poor service, hopeless web site...you asked!
Excellent service from Wacom
Replacement Nibs for BAMBOO alpha stylus. Ordered Friday, delivered Monday. Perfect for iPad3. Note that £4,95 buys you three nibs, which isn't clear when you order. That 's a far better buy than a replacement stylus of any kind.
It doesn't work well with iPad mini Retina or iPad Air
I owned the previous version of this stylus for my iPad 2 and I was really happy, but I am really disappointed because the new version of the stylus (released in mid-late 2013) doesn't work properly with iPad mini Retina or iPad Air.
It is impossible to use it since you have to press really hard (until the point that the metal part almost touch the screen) and in 90º to make it work. At first I exchanged it because I thought it was faulty, but it wasn't the problem, because it works totally fine with iPad 2.
Now I have bought a 3 stylus that works perfectly fine.
If you search on the Internet about this issue you will see that I am not the only person with this problem.
I hope Wacom can solve the problem or launch a new version that works with the new iPad's versions, and at least show in the features page that it's not compatible with later that iPad 4 iPads
Cannot recommend
Nice to use, BUT, after I bought my first the nib lasted about 1week, it was replaced by the retailer, but the nib on this also split in the same manner after about 2weeks. I am not a heavy user of the IPad and there is an inherent design/material fault in this product. Sorry Wacom, perhaps you have sorted the problem out in the last few months but I am unwilling to try at my expense.
Great but hard to cheaply replace
After about 4 months of regular use my nib finally split. I've been trying to replace it through the Wacom store but unless you but it as soon as it goes into stock you'll be out of luck. The only other option is to pay a ridiculous markup on the product over on somewhere like Amazon (and who knows if it's a genuine Wacom nib and not some cheap knock off).
Overall though the nib has been pretty good. I just can't rate this higher as it seems that once it splits it's impossible to cheaply replace.
In september 2012 2 setjes punten gekocht en nu , november 2014, nieuwe moeten bestellen.
Dit komt dus neer op 4maanden per punt, dit valt dus wel mee. Prettig in gebruik.
Het enige wat me nu tegen viel was de prijs voor de verzending, namelijk 6,00 voor een pakje dat nog geen 60 gram woog. In 2012 betaalde ik hier nog geen 3,00 voor. Een forse verhoging vind ik. Verder zijn wij zeer tevreden, ook over de zeer snelle levering: 's middags besteld, de volgende ochtend in de bus.
Schlechtes Produktmanagement
Für die Stiftspitzen, die nach 2 Monaten Gebrauch zerreissen EUR 4.90 zu verlangen grenzt an Wucher. 1. Für das Material wurd eine sehr anfällige Gummimischung verwendet, es gibt robustere Gummimischungen die ein vielfaches der Zeit haltbar sind, und 2. für diesen vergänglichen Gummi wird ein exorbitanter Preis verlangt der in keiner Relation zum eigentlichen Material-Wert von ca. EUR 0,05 steht!
Wer nur an Gewinnoptimierung orientiert ist und sich nicht um die Anwenderfreudlichkeit und Nachhaltigkeit der Produkte kümmert pflegt ein Philosophie die ich nicht mehr untersützen werde.
Den Bamboo Stylus gebe ich zum Wertstoffhof.
Stylus Solo - Spitze nach einem Monat defekt
Ich habe mir einen Stylus Solo gekauft und war auch exakt vier Wochen damit sehr zufrieden.
Dann ging die Spitze kaputt. Sehr ärgerlich!
Schnell Ersatzspitzen für unverhältnissmäßig viel Geld gekauft und diese passten dann nicht mal.
Nach intensiven Suchen, habe ich dann den Hinweis gefunden, dass die Ersatzspitzen nun gerade nicht auf den Stylus Solo passen.
Also liebe Leute aufgepasst!
Great product
Bought the Bamboo Stylus for use on my ipad and iPhone. Also bought replacement nibs regular and firm. The regular nibs work better than the firm for drawing. I don't agree with most of the negative reviews.
Stylus Solo
Leider haben wir auch bereits schon nach ca. 1 Monat die Gummispitze defekt. Soviel Geld hingelegt und dann so ein Ärger. Haben leider jetzt erst dieses Forum entdeckt,da wir eine Ersatzspitze kaufen möchten. Werden uns dies jedoch noch überlegen. Haben jetzt einen billigeren Stift von der Fa. Kensington gekauft (10 ). Mal abwarten, wie lange dieser hält.
Well, just going to take the decision to buy this expensive yet cool stylus, after I red all the comments concerning the low life of the nibs I made out my mind and decided to change direction.
Thank you all folks, 30 euros saved!
Can a product really be that bad?
Purchased a white Bamboo Stylus solo online, after using Wacom tablets and their dedicated pens before. With the iPad being a nice drawing tablet as well, I expected this Bamboo Stylus solo pen to be as great as the iPad combined with Wacom's expertise in drawing equipment. The result is rather disappointing. The pen is far too heavy and the withe color is brighter than the iPad's white. The metal that holds the rubber tip can touch, or even worst hit the iPad's surface, potentially damaging it. The weight of the pen makes it fall hard anyway. The worst problem though, is the quality of the tip, which is unsuitable for any use, except maybe for sealing caps of bottles. After only a few days of use on a clean, new iPad screen, the tip gets cracks, that make ruptures after two weeks. Tires on cars are made of rubber, which withstands thousands of kilometers/miles on rough surfaces without cracking and tearing after a few weeks, let alone by gliding on the slippery surface of an iPad screen.
A one star rating for the Bamboo Stylus solo pen is one too many in my opinion. Instead of being happy with money well spent on a great product, I have to look for an alternative already. Next time I won't buy a Wacom product without consulting reviews like these. Reputation isn't everything as it seems.

DEFINITION of 'Fear And Greed Index'
An index developed and used by CNNMoney to measure the primary emotions that drive investors: fear and greed. The Fear and Greed Index is based on seven indicators:
1. Stock Price Momentum - as measured by the S&P 500 versus its 125-day moving average
2. Stock Price Strength - based on the number of stocks hitting 52-week highs versus those hitting 52-week lows on the NYSE
3. Stock Price Breadth - as measured by trading volumes in rising stocks against declining stocks.
4. Put and Call Options - based on the Put/Call ratio
5. Junk Bond Demand - as measured by the spread between yields on investment grade bonds and junk bonds
6. Market Volatility - as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index or VIX
7. Safe Haven Demand - based on the difference in returns for stocks versus Treasuries
Each of these seven indicators is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 50 denoting a neutral reading, and a higher reading signaling more greed. The index is then computed by taking an equal-weighted average of the seven indicators.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Fear And Greed Index'
The Fear and Greed Index is a contrarian index of sorts, which is based on the premise that excessive fear can result in stocks trading well below their intrinsic values, while unbridled greed can result in stocks being bid up far above what they should be worth.
The index can therefore be used to signal potential turning points in the equity markets. For example, the index sank to a low of 12 on Sept. 17, 2008, when the S&P 500 fell to a three-year low in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the near-demise of insurance giant AIG. It traded over 90 in September 2012 as global equities rallied following the Federal Reserve's third round of quantitative easing (QE3).

Alex Raij and Eder Montero, the mom-and-pop proprietors of the new Basque restaurant Txikito, have just unveiled their lunch menu, and it comes as no surprise to the Underground Gourmet that the bill of fare includes an excellent double cheeseburger ($11). After all, a lunch menu without a burger on it these days is a risky business, like opening a dynamite factory without fire insurance. And besides, if Ferran Adri, a.k.a. the worlds greatest living chef, can hawk hamburgers, why not New Yorks preeminent Spanish-chef couple? Many burger aficionados will be delighted to know that Raij is an adherent of the thin-patty school and a believer in the idea that two streamlined patties (100 percent chuck) are better than a single stout one. She cooks them a la plancha, topped with Idiazbal, a smoky Basque sheeps-milk cheese, and she serves them with thinly sliced cornichons, pickled onions, and yes, a special sauce piquantly composed of crme frache and homemade mayo mingled with garlic and guindilla peppers. An unassuming bun, soft and yielding, from Tom Cat Bakery, just barely holds the juicy little concoction together. Raij calls the thing El Doble, which, when spoken in a low voice and with a suave Spanish accent, sounds vaguely illicit and even better than a Royale With Cheese.

Hyderabad is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra
Pradesh. Greater Hyderabad has an estimated metropolitan population
of 6.7 million, making it an A-1 status city and second largest
in India with an area of 625 sq kms. Hyderabad is the financial
and economic capital of the state and contributes the highest
amount to the state's GDP, tax and excise revenues. The service
industry is the major industry in the city, employing 90%
of the work force.
Hyderabad is today a major hub pertaining to software upload,
hardware manufacturing and biotechnology. This has led the
location to end up being referred as 'Cyberabad'.
It's also an important education centre with main academic,
specialized and exploration institutes. The beginning of new
international airport at Shamshabad provides strengthened
the particular strategic position of the city.

President Michael D Higgins to be honoured by The Queen at Windsor Castle
Irish President Michael D Higgins' historic state visit to the UK will take relations between the two nations to a new level, the Foreign Office said today.
The Queen has taken a keen interest in the preparations for the four-day trip - the first by an Irish head of state.
President Higgins will be joined by his wife, Sabina, and, in an indication of the importance of the visit which begins on April 8, by Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "This is quite a special state visit. It follows on from the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, who went in May 2011 to Ireland. It was one of those visits that properly deserves to be called an historic visit.
"This is the first visit by an Irish President to the UK - a first state visit, another real historic milestone and quite a special state visit in every way."
The Queen's highly successful state visit to Ireland two years ago paved the way for President's Higgins' trip.
She received a warm reception from the Irish people and visited significant locations like Dublin's Croke Park - the site of the 1920 Bloody Sunday massacre where British forces fired into the crowd at a football match, killing 14 spectators and players.
Highlights of the visit will include an address the President, a politician, poet and human rights activist, will make to both Houses of Parliament - another first for an Irish head of state.
The Queen will stage a traditional state banquet in honour of her guest at Windsor Castle, Mr Higgins and his wife will visit the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon and he will attend another major dinner at the Guildhall in the City given by the Lord Mayor.
Northern Ireland will be recognised with the Queen hosting a reception for leading figures from Ulster's cultural, political and business life.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said they recognised the special nature of the state visit: "What we have is a genuine desire on behalf of the Queen to repay the kindness that was shown to her in Ireland."
He added that the Queen had taken a strong interest in the planning for the trip "she is, and wants to be across the detail".

Book Description:
This text, René Guénon's most comprehensive work of 'pure' metaphysics, is written as if nothing at all is, but That which is in its own essence. And, in truth, what else is there? Being is multiple and comprises many states, both manifest and unmanifest; but the unmanifest has precedence, what is seen being effectively nothing in the face of what is not seen. To realize this is to realize the contingency of the human state and the set of its inherent possibilities; to realize the contingency of the human state is to be liberated from it; to be liberated from the human state is to assimilate the principle by which the being can be liberated from all states. This is the end of the spiritual life, and also of the human form: 'end' both as telos and as annihilation. And since all beings in manifestation exist equally and simultaneously in all the planes and states of the Unmanifest, to know Infinite Possibility is precisely to become what one is. Whatever else Guénon wrote, as mystagogue, hermeneut, critic of the modern world, emanated from and existed to support the realization of only This.

See also:modern
See also:English use the name of a garment worn as
See also:part of the ceremonial
See also:dress of
See also:Anglican bishops . It is a long sleeveless
See also:gown of
See also:silk or satin, open down the front, gathered in at the back between the shoulders, and with slits for the arms . It is worn over the
See also:rochet (q.v.), and its
See also:colour is either black or
See also:scarlet (convocation robes) . By a
See also:late abuse the sleeves of the rochet were, from motives of convenience, some-times attached to the
See also:chimere . The origin of the chimere has been the subject of much debate; but the view that it is a modification of the
See also:cope (q.v.) is now discarded, and it is practically proved to be derived from the
See also:medieval
See also:tabard (tabardum, taberda or collobium), an upper garment worn in
See also:civil
See also:life by all classes of
See also:people both in
See also:England and abroad . It has there-fore a
See also:common origin with certain
See also:academic robes (see ROBES, § Academic dress) . The word " chimere," which first appears in England in the 14th century, was sometimes applied not only to the tabard worn over the rochet, but to the sleeved cassock worn under it . Thus Archbishop Scrope is described as wearing when on his way to execution (1405) a blue chimere with sleeves . But the word properly applies to the sleeveless tabard which tended to supersede, from the 15th century onwards, the inconvenient cap pa clausa (a long closed cloak with a slit in front for the arms) as the out-of-doors upper garment of bishops . These chimeres, the
See also:colours of which (murrey, scarlet,
See also:green, &c.) may possibly have denoted academical
See also:rank, were part of the civil
See also:costume of prelates . Thus in the inventory of Walter Skirlawe,
See also:bishop of Durham (1405-1406), eight chimeres of various colours are mentioned, including two for
See also:riding (
See also:pro equitatura) . The chimere was, moreover, a
See also:cold
See also:weather garment .
In summer itsplace was taken by the tippet . In the Anglican
See also:form for the consecration of bishops the newly consecrated prelate, hitherto vested in rochet, is directed to put on " the
See also:rest of the episcopal
See also:habit," i.e. the chimere . The robe has thus become in the
See also:Church of England symbolical of the episcopal
See also:office, and is in effect a liturgical vestment . The rubric containing this direction was added to the
See also:Book of Common Prayer in 1662; and there is
See also:proof that the del, elopment of the chimere into at least a
See also:choir vestment was subsequent to the
See also:Reformation .
See also:Foxe, indeed, mentions that
See also:Hooper at his consecration wore " a long scarlet chymere down to the
See also:foot " (Acts and Mon.; ed . 1563, p . 1051), a source of trouble to himself and of
See also:scandal to other extreme reformers; but that this was no more than the full civil dress of a bishop is proved by the fact that Archbishop
See also:Parker at his consecration wore
See also:surplice and tippet, and only put on the chimere, when the service was over, to go away in . This civil quality of the garment
See also:stilt survives alongside the other; the full dress of an Anglican prelate at civil functions of importance (e.g. in parliament, or at
See also:court) is still rochet and chimere . The
See also:continental
See also:equivalent of the chimere is the zimarra or simarre, which is defined by
See also:foreign ecclesiologists (Moroni, Barbier de Montault) as a kind of
See also:soutane (cassock), from which it is distinguished by having a small cape and
See also:short, open arms (manches-fausses) reaching to the
See also:middle of the upper
See also:arm and decorated with buttons . In
See also:France and
See also:Germany it is fitted more or less to the figure; in
See also:Italy it is wider and falls down straight in front . Like the soutane, the zimarra is not proper to any particular rank of
See also:clergy, but in the
See also:case of bishops and prelates it is ornamented with red buttons and bindings . It never has a
See also:train (cauda) .
It is not universally worn, e.g. in Germany apparently only by prelates . G . Moroni identifies the zimarra with the epitogium which Domenico Magri, in his Hierolexicon (ed . 1677), calls the uppermost garment of the clergy, worn over the soutane (toga) instead of the mantellum (vestis suprema clericorum loco pallii), with a
See also:cross-reference to Tabardum, the " usual " upper garment (
See also:pallium usuale) ; and this definition is repeated in the 8th edition of the
See also:work (1732) . From this it appears that so late as the middle of the 18th century the zimarra was still in common use as an out-of-doors overcoat . But, according to Moroni, by the latter
See also:half of the 19th century the zimarra, though still worn by certain civilians (e.g. notaries and students), had become in Italy chiefly the domestic garment of the clergy, notably of superiors,
See also:parish priests, rectors, certain regulars, priests of congregations, bishops, prelates and cardinals . It was worn also by the
See also:Roman senators, and is still worn by university professors . A black zimarra lined with
See also:white, and sometimes ornamented with a white binding and gold tassels, is worn by the
See also:pope . More analogous to the Anglican chimere in shape, though not in significance, is the
See also:purple mantelletum worn over the rochet by bishops, and by others authorized to
See also:wear the episcopal insignia, in presence of the pope or his legates . This symbolizes the temporary suspension of the episcopal jurisdiction (symbolized by the rochet) so long as the pope or his representative is
See also:present . Thus at the
See also:Curia cardinals and prelates wear the mantelletum, while the pope wears the zimarra, and the first
See also:act of the
See also:cardinal camerlengo after the pope's
See also:death is to expose his rochet by laying aside the mantelletum, the other cardinals following his example, as a
See also:symbol that during the vacancy of the papacy the pope's jurisdiction is vested in the Sacred
See also:College . On the
See also:analogy of the mantelletum certain Anglican prelates,
See also:American and colonial, have from
See also:time to time appeared in purple chimeres; which, as the Rev .
See also:Robinson justly points out, is a most unhappy innovation, since it has no
See also:historical
See also:justification, and its symbolism is rather unfortunate .

The Burger's Priest new location??
- petek Jan 2, 2012 07:22 AM
Is it open?
Sorry in advance if this has already been discussed.
re: katdog
Haven't tried them yet so I'm a little excited...
re: katdog
They had posted this on their Facebook page yesterday but the post seems to have mysteriously disappeared...
re: Davwud
Opening today! I'll be there!
re: Davwud
*ponders having a second dinner...*
re: jlunar
Pondering telling my cold to take a flying leap so I can have dinner there. Will probably wait for lunch tomorrow instead, when maybe the crazies will have dissipated...
re: TorontoJo
It will probably be a zoo tonight.
re: Davwud
I dropped by this afternoon to wish them luck. The space is great (although he upped the anty with his religious beliefs).
I will go there - the minute they open at LUNCH.
re: domesticgodess
Drove by at six pm and saw lineup of twenty or so people waiting outside.
re: domesticgodess
I'm a huge fan of BP but the religion stuff on his website is kinda weird. If he's truly "upped the ante" at the new location it will be even weirder.
Went for lunch today. This is my first BP experience and count me in the "let down by the hype" category. The burger was decent enough, but I really didn't care for the texture. Perhaps the grind is too fine, but the burger was very soft, almost mushy, in texture. Flavour was decent, bun was right, but the texture was the big downfall. The chili cheese fries, on the other hand, were really kinda awesome. Those could be a meal on their own. Grainy photo below.
Stockyards will continue to be my go to for griddled, smashed burgers. Which is too bad, since BP is so damn close. But, judging from the traffic, they won't miss me. Even at almost 2pm, there was a steady line of traffic in and out. Apparently opening night was jammed -- 600 patties in 3 hours! I wish them continued success.
re: TorontoJo
So is there seating in the new location??
re: TorontoJo
Was the letdown big enough for you that you will not go back at all or just that the Stockyards are better and if timing is not an issue you rather go there?
re: CBlake
I won't go back for a burger, as I really didn't like the texture at all. I may go back for the chili cheese fries, though...
re: TorontoJo
I think there were 12-15 stools total in there. Space is nice, pretty much the beaches location, but with a bit more polish (the ceiling tiles were really nice).
re: TorontoJo
I don't think it's how fine the grind is. The burgers there are very loosely packed. (supposedly the way they should be) The resulting burger is very, very tender. Perhaps that's what you don't like about it. Just supposin' though.
re: Davwud
I like loosely packed burgers. But I've had loosely packed burgers that have a nice beefy bite to them. These were just mushy to me, not tender. But hey, that's just my personal taste. Obviously there aren't many others that feel the same way. :)
re: TorontoJo
I'm with you ToJo. But I keep trying it from time to time trying to like it.
re: TorontoJo
Yep. That's why there's chocolate and vanilla right??
Have you had a Hero burger?? Talk about awful texture. Like a grease soaked sponge.
re: Davwud
Speaking of chocolate and vanilla, any word on when the milkshake machines will be put to use? I had a chocolate hazelnut milkshake from Shake Shack last night and was reminded of how well shakes go w/ burgers and fries. Also, will there be blizzards or concretes?
re: GoodGravy
Shake Shack? I admit I've been on another planet for the last while, but there is a Shake Shack in T.O. now? Please tell! Or did you just happen to be in NYC the night before?
Sigh. What I'd give for a concrete, a portobello burger and some of those curly fries...Jeb's Custard is good, but not the same.
re: punchythecat
Still no Shake Shack in Toronto...sadly...
re: punchythecat
Sorry, I'm in NYC most of the time so I get my pizza and burger fix here before going to Toronto. But BP's fb page did mention a b&w shake (Riggs & Murtaugh) and the Jarge (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry). Not concretes and no mention of where the ice cream comes from, but at least now you can get a shake to wash down that burger.
Went this evening, lineups inside were probably 10 deep at worst. Most people were taking it to go, so it wasn't too hard to find a stool if you really wanted one. Obliterated a Priest with cheesy chili fries. The priest was fantastic, but not too sure how the cheeseburger would stand up on its own. Milkshakes are not available yet.
Burger Cellar a couple stores down cannot be pleased.
Okay, I'm finally going to try a Burger's Priest burger this week and I'm debating what to order. Does the secret menu still exist? Do I wink or offer a secret handshake if I order off it? Debating between a double cheeseburger and the high priest - are they the same amount of meat but just an extra piece of bun in the middle and "special sauce" on the high priest? Then again, I've never had chili cheese fries before so maybe a single cheeseburger and a shared order of those are the way to go?
re: peppermint pate
I would start with just a cheeseburger to start, so you can decide if you like the burger before adding all sort of other things to it. A cheeseburger and a shared order of chili cheese fries is definitely a good way to go! Plenty of food.
re: TorontoJo
OK. After much anticipation and waiting for this place to open in my "hood", i finally went in today. I've noticed large Linwood since Monday, and even today, after 3pm, it was still busy. The place looks good, with nice finishings. It's not huge but I did snag a stool. Had the cheeseburger with bacon and the chili fries. The burger was excellent. Loosely packed with juice flowing from it. Not try, but exceptionally moist. Not a huge bun, but the perfect texture for the meat. He fries......don't ask. A meal in itself! I don't think the priest will be direct competition to the Burger Cellar, nearby, as they serve a very different croud. So in short, decent burgers have finally arrived in North Toronto, and not a moment too soon.
If I I had to make one suggestion, turn the music down a bit, as you can't hear the cashier, or your name when they call it out. Great tunes!!!
re: franpelyk
Finally, decent burgers have arrived in North Toronto?
The well established market for somewhat overpriced, decent burgers in North Toronto is the reason BP opened a location in North Toronto. Burgers and Canadianized Italian, that's what North Toronto is all about.
re: peppermint pate
Ask for the special sauce when you order the "altar boy" from the secret menu.
re: foodyDudey
Okay, so I picked up this note just before heading over there yesterday evening. There were about 10 people in line ahead of us. I ordered a cheeseburger with fried onions, mustard and special sauce (when I asked the cashier what the special sauce was, she told me she couldn't tell me...too funny, I guess that's part of the secret menu mystique). Hubby ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and fried onions and we split an order of chili cheese fries. The burgers were great - well portioned, juicy, tasty and well-textured (it's definitely less firm than other burgers but it all kind of worked for me). Really liked the chili cheese fries as well.
The place was hopping, though the wait was never more than 10-15 minutes and we easily got seats as at least half the people were doing take-out. Turnover is fast, service was friendly and the music mix was fantastic - loud, yes, but it made for a great vibe (and we could easily carry on a conversation).
As a prelude to American Idiot, it made for a perfect double bill. Fun night!
By the way, what's the "altar boy"?
re: foodyDudey
What is the "altar boy"?
re: mstestzzz002
So I just got back from BP(around 9ish) and I have to say it was a darned good burger(1st time there) Got the cheeseburger w/ bacon they were out of fried onions and only had about 20 patties left.It was a bit on the small side(I finished it in about 5 bites) but very tasty.Service was friendly and quick.Good tunes but too loud for me(I'm old,what can I say..) Next time I'll try a double or the high priest,whatever that is.
mstestzzz002..what is that thing in your very last photo????
re: mstestzzz002
That sounds good! I was still hungry after the reg cheesburger,so maybe I'll try that next..
I just got back from lunch; count me as a convert! The burger patty was so juicy it was running down my chin. The texture of the burger was soft and crumbly, which I prefer to biting into a meat puck. Fries were ok, but who cares! It was 2:30 and there was a line up and steady stream of people coming and going while I was there. Music was on the loud side, but I'm eating a burger at a burger joint not foie gras at Scaramouche. I was more surprised that a Bose sound dock could generate that much volume. Finally, the counter staff were friendly and kept the counters wiped and tidy.
re: sloweater
"Music was on the loud side, but I'm eating a burger at a burger joint not foie gras at Scaramouche."
I know it's a burger joint and I wasn't expecting Scaramouche like ambiance,but when the Bose sound dock is right next to your head when yer trying' to order or waiting for your food,is cranked full blast,it's kinda annoying...
re: sloweater
They had that Bose cranked(impressive little device) when I was there at 9pm.Maybe it was a pre closing,get the adrenalin pumping kinda thing.The music won't stop me from going back,but maybe I'll try sitting at the front next time.
This is my first time at The Burger's Priest.
Had the double cheeseburger. Thought it was tasty with a good consistency but not worth price. I didn't find the music too loud so maybe they turned it down?
Toronto Life has an online article today with a bunch of photos.
I went yesterday and it was jammed. It took 25 minutes to receive the burgers. It was worth it! My personal favorite burger has been the Burger Shack. BP beats them on the burger but IMHO the Shack still has the best fries around. BP is my new burger fix. I just need to figure out how to drive from Yonge over to Oriole to get my Shack fries before my burger gets cold.
finally had a chance to try the burger's priest today, yonge st. location. decent. not spectacular or world changing. for toronto, it's good. not as good as goody's in the east end, but solid. would still rate it below places like burger joint in nyc. it's about on par with shake shack in the danny meyer empire in manhattan. the burgers are 4oz patties like shake shack. their default their burgers to well done, so it's a bit drier than i thought it would be. the fries are slightly better than expected, and there's a hell of a lot of them in a combo (had the priest combo). relatively overpriced for what you get, considering you get a better all round product at goody's, imho. note: catucci's "you gotta eat here" was filming as i arrived, so the place is going to get some more publicity shortly. . .
I decided to give BP North another try. During my visit, around 3 pm on a Monday afternoon, there were between 15 to 20 customers at BP. I ordered the double cheeseburger, since it was my first meal of the day, and I was famished. I received my burger in less than 5 minutes. Hunger is supposed to be the greatest chef, right? Even with the hunger bias, I found the burger to be ok at best. This cheeseburger was greasier than the cheeseburger I ordered at Holy Chuck, and some of the grease soaked into the bun. NTTAWWT. The patty was moist, and certainly not dry. I find their patty bland. Maybe I've become accustomed to highly-seasoned burgers, and a plain meat patty with American cheese doesn't do it for me. I'd take the often-bashed Webers burger, a Licks cheeseburger or a Wendy's Jr Burger with cheese over a BP cheeseburger, if I had the choice. That being said, I like the BP burger better than the awful burger at Hazel's diner, or the burger at the Abbot, so it probably is the best burger on Yonge between Lawrence and York Mills. I haven't tried the Burger Cellar burgers, although I've read negative reports from some Hounds who frequent the area.
The music wasn't loud on a Monday afternoon.
If I want a quick, less-than-$15 lunch in the Yonge & Lawrence neigbourhood, I realized yesterday I'd rather just go to Ciccio Sanwiccio.
re: Davwud
ha ha. I had a feeling you'd respond, Davwud. Seriously though- might just be an indication of my seriously non-discriminating burger palate, but I find a Wendy's Jr burger hits the spot whenever I order it. Maybe I've been conditioned to like Wendy's. This BP burger was ok, and certainly edible, but it didn't hit the spot, so to speak. I didn't feel like I'd want to return soon for the same thing- whereas after my burger at Harbord Room (i know, different animal, relatively fancypants burger, and certainly not the same kind of burger) I remember thinking I'd order another one on another visit. I'll try adding some salt & pepper next time I'm facing a somewhat bland burger.
Do you get all the toppings when you order the cheeseburger or double cheeseburger when you're at BP, Holy Chuck and Stockyards? If not, which do you get? I'm not a big fan of ketchup or mayo on my burger, so I'm guessing my ketchupless, mayo-less burger might taste quite different than the the fully loaded burgers. I can see how ketchup would add a sweetness and tang that might compliment that patty.
re: Davwud
i think the best way to experience burger priest is a double double jarge style with pickles. mustard grilled patties, fried onions, delightful
re: disgusti
Ya, I've tried a lot of the different combinations and the last time was probably the best burger I've had from there. Double Double w/ Bacon, Pickles, Onion and Mustard. It was fabulous.
Anyone want to order a 12x 12 after watching this video :
This was Furious Pete's entry into the competition:
EDIT - Darn, false alarm. A comment says that it isn't open and that the building permit is back up. I had figured that someone would have posted about it... anyway, original post below.
BlogTo is reporting that it opened on Monday..
You guys secretly going and not letting anyone know so you can avoid the lineups? :)

Sept 2013
Sounds like The Queensway & Islington.
I wonder where exactly from CIneplex Queensway? Next door? Across?
re: 5andman
Based on their MO so far I'd suggest a storefront on Queensway east of Islington.
re: 5andman
Glad to see they are expanding but hope they don't expand too fast and not roll it out properly. Is there any quality difference between the Yonge location and Queen Street location now? I know at the start there was complaints that Yonge street wasn't as good as the original
re: disgusti
My one and only visit to the Yonge St location I was served what I believe was the single greatest burger I've ever had. Truly phenomenal.
In my half dozen or so visits I've never had a burger less than excellent.
re: 5andman
Good for them. That area will serve them well and is right off the highway.
re: 5andman
Trips to Costco will never be the same!
Maybe where Max's Market used to be?
re: Etobs_Finest
Used to be? Did that location close down?
re: Michael N
It did indeed.
re: Etobs_Finest
Must be somewhere else, I drove past there today and it's a paint store now. I find it odd that Max's has been closed a while now but the sign is still flashing way up above.
Looks like a good opening sale if anyone's after paint though...
Can't wait to try the burgers.
re: FrenchSoda
Ya,I noticed that as well as I drove to work. Max's really dropped the ball on that location..I still think Priest's new location will be in the "plaza" where the theatre is.
re: 5andman
<Movies on Queensway will never be the same.
Expanded Ice Cream menu + parking.>
Don't know if there's any vacancies in that plaza,I'm just speculating based on their Facebook page...
re: petek
From the Now:
re: MissBingBing
Well..I've been wrong before. :D
Thanks for the link!
re: MissBingBing
Interesting indeed.
986 The Queensway (NE corner)
There is parking (back), not the most accessible.
It will be interesting once they are up and running.
Though, it is a very high traffic area, the retail there is a bit of a 'dead zone' for commerce.
Ok, it is official now. June 1st as mentioned earlier in this thread but for dinner - 6pm... as per their tweet this morning:
Went on opening night last night at about 7-7:30. There was a line out the door, but the employees were very efficient and I had my order in under 30 minutes, so no complaints from me. This was my first time at Burger's Priest and I must say this was one of the top burger experiences I've ever had! The burgers were flavourful, juicy and perfect size. (I read a lot of comments from people about their burgers being too small for the price. Mine was a double patty and I couldn't imagine wanted something larger than that.) Price was a tad steep, but that will not keep me from coming back. Their chili cheese fries came loaded and were very tasty (and I'm not even a big fan of chili) and their milkshakes were a perfect consistency.

'Many hypocrites are in the area' and more Letters to the Editors
Mr. Orr, your comments have initiated me to the TFP on line opinions. I will wisely choose not to engage in a discussion, much less debate, with one who cannot be open to at least hearing another perspective. Nor will I dispute the truths you put forward here as your truths. But I feel compelled to simply state a few of my own.
First. I was born into this world as homosexual, thus it is not something I 'practice'- it is how I was made.
Second I have worked in health care for 20 years, including hospice. I have seen tremendous support from friends and family for those dying from aids. Yes, there are some who are abandoned, even by their church. But I have also seen many heterosexuals dying alone, forsaken by family and friends.
Third. This is the greatest of my truths. I already have a 'Loving Church congregation' where I have 'Brothers and Sisters in Christ' who choose what appears to be a different approach to Christianity than yours. Come and check us out. Pilgrim United Church of Christ.
Oh well, I do feel compelled to make one comment.Your statistics on the financial cost of AIDS are impressive. I would like to challenge you to research the public cost of treating heart and lung disease caused by those who chose to smoke, eat improperly,and lead a sedentary lifestyle.
