Chair: Marie Conn, Ph.D.
Rooted in the Christian tradition and challenged by the contemporary need for a more holistic future, the Graduate Program in Spirituality at Chestnut Hill College offers three graduate degrees: Master of Arts in Holistic Spirituality, Master of Arts in Holistic Spirituality and Spiritual Direction, and Master of Arts in Holistic Spirituality/Healthcare.
In addition to the graduate degree programs, the following certificate programs are also offered: Certificate in Spiritual Direction, Certificate in Supervision of Spiritual Directors, Certificate of Study in Spirituality (CSS), and Certificate in Holistic Spirituality/Healthcare.
This is the "core" degree program that provides students with critical intellectual and affective skills to facilitate and nurture the rediscovery of spirituality taking place in our world today, whether in churches, agencies, schools, or institutions. This degree program prepares students to respond to individual and collective impulses for renewal and spirituality by bringing the best of the Christian spiritual traditions into sustained dialogue with our contemporary situation. Several principles underpin this holistic educational experience:
a. Personal identity is connected in a fundamental way to spirituality, understood as one's way of being in the world in light of one's ultimate values. The need to become more aware of, intentional about and articulate concerning those ultimate values is becoming ever more apparent.
b. Humans become more at one with Earth and the cosmos through the mystical consciousness and expression at the heart of spiritual practice.
c. Spirituality shapes and is shaped by the work Christians and peoples of all faiths do in the world. The long-term demands of "acting justly, loving tenderly and walking humbly with God" (Micah 6:8) require a committed and embodied spirituality.
d. Ministry is rooted in and helps constitute a vital spiritual life. A life of ministry and service to others is not consequent to, but constitutive of, Christian spirituality.
As a result of the interweaving of a rigorous academic program and a high regard for one's personal faith experience, this M.A. in Holistic Spirituality prepares the student to:
• teach in the broad field of religious studies,
• work as pastoral agents in adult faith formation, youth and campus ministry, spirituality and retreat centers and
• enhance one's commitment to spirituality of work and social transformation
Course Requirements For The Master Of Arts In Holistic Spirituality
The M.A. in Holistic Spirituality requires the satisfactory completion of 36 credits, which includes 24 credits in required core courses and 12 credits in elective courses.

Coordinator of Spiritual Direction Practica: Carolynne Ervin, M.A.
This program—a combination of the core degree with concentration in spiritual direction—prepares students to become knowledgeable, competent, and skilled spiritual directors. At Chestnut Hill College, spiritual direction is seen as a contemplative ministry through which spiritual directors help others to notice and respond to God's movement in the personal and communal experiences of their everyday lives and within all of creation. This approach to spiritual direction requires personal, interpersonal and spiritual maturity.
This well-integrated academic and professional M.A. degree combines the theology that spiritual directors need to ground their ministry firmly within the Christian tradition with an ecumenically based practicum and individualized supervision. Students gain a holistic understanding of person and community through exposure to real-life experiences while they develop the skills essential to spiritual direction.

Students will journey into the Mystery of God, Sin and Evil, Jesus Christ, the Spirit and the Church from classical to contemporary interpretations. The course will emphasize the constructive, but unfinished and inadequate character of all speech about Holy Mystery and every appropriation of the God-life, given the limits of the human and the inexhaustibility of the divine.

In the fourth, students will explore in a reflective and experiential way some spiritual aspects that underlie, enhance, and complement our concepts of nutrition and exercise. A larger and more holistic perspective on nutrition and exercise will guide the formation of attitudes and behaviors that will develop a view of the whole person, created by God who transforms, inspires, and acts in our lives.

Elective Courses
GRSP 506 Biblical Perspectives on Healing
The healing dynamics within various biblical traditions will be examined in this course. The significance of the stories of Jesus as healer, other healing stories in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, and the physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of the healing process from biblical perspectives will also be explored. Selections of healing stories will also be made from other texts, such as the Qur'an, the Eight Noble Truths, and the Four-fold Path to Buddha.
GRSP 521: Remembering Karl Rahner: Theologian of "A Mysticism of Everyday Life"
3 credits
Considered by many as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, Karl Rahner, the man and the theologian, will be the focused study of this course. Its aim is to explore Rahner's understanding of God, as "Holy Mystery" turned graciously toward the whole of our broken and stricken world, flooding it with grace. Because of God's choice of creation and the human condition, all of history is the stage for God's self-revelation, making of the human person and community recipients of the freely offered love of God. All humankind shares the capacity to encounter the divine in the ordinary experiences of their everyday. Such awareness has the power to change everything.
GRSP 523: Forgiveness and Reconciliation
This course is designed to ponder stories, pursue questions and consider the gift that lies at the heart of the journey to forgive and reconcile as persons and as a people. To this end, the course will engage several disciplines from its primary ground in theology: psychology and history, literature and political theory, social science and cultural anthropology. Its scope will encompass the inner regions of the human heart, the shape and character of human behavior and the distant reaches of the global family. Students will encounter others in reading, research and conversation whose experiences of "forgiveness and reconciliation" will inform and challenge their own.
GRSP 524 Spirituality/Theology of Waiting
A spirituality of vigilance/expectation/waiting is deeply rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition. This course will explore the phenomenological, psychological, and theological aspects of "waiting" emerging out of concrete, human experience (cross-cultural) and in the divine/human encounter (waiting for God/waiting of God). Using biblical and biographical lenses, varied themes will be examined including the mysticism of waiting, the poverty/emptiness of waiting, the agony/terror of waiting, and the sacred gift/fruitfulness of waiting.
GRSP 552 Spirituality of Peace and Justice
Readings and discussion will explore the theory and practice of Christian nonviolence in the context of current U.S. experience. Nonviolence does not withdraw from violence, but engages violence with the powers of truth and love. Nonviolence will be examined in four dimensions: personal, interpersonal, national/international, and ecological. From the lives and works of outstanding practitioners, practices of nonviolence will be identified and their relevance to contemporary Christian life demonstrated.
GRSP 571 God and Human Suffering: Its Mystery and Meaning
This course offers an invitation to explore the mystery and meaning of human suffering, one that engages the paradoxes of darkness and light, despair and hope, death and life, cross and resurrection. Stories of women and men, both biblical and contemporary, whose lives were transformed by suffering, will be analyzed for the redemptive elements embedded in their experiences. Through theological reflection, students will examine the nature and gifts of suffering: endurance, hope, compassion, intimacy with God, and a contemplative life-stance with all that is.
GRSP 604A Conversion and Grace
This course will provide a theological framework for interpreting the dialectic of conversion and grace in order to promote a more intentional and wholehearted response to this dangerous and exciting divine/human encounter. Toward this aim, students will study the dynamics of conversion and grace as they emerge directly and verifiably out of concrete and ordinary human experience. Conversion will be examined as a breakthrough that occurs for individuals and communities at the intellectual, moral and religious levels, making new challenges possible and new horizons available.
GRSP 643 Healing Beliefs across Faith Traditions
Based within the discipline of anthropology, this course examines the relationship of belief systems to their broader cultural frameworks, and probes the ways in which beliefs and values affect both patients' approaches to healthcare and healthcare professionals' approaches to patients. Using the case study method, this course will demonstrate the importance of understanding how various belief systems interact and how this interaction affects healthcare practices. Alternative health practices will be examined in relation to larger socio-economic, religious, and cultural contexts.
GRSP 652 Spiritual Assessment: Ethical and
Clinical Guidelines for Caregivers
2 credits
This course will explore current research on methodologies of spiritual assessment as an invitation to compassion toward the whole person, especially implications for ways to address spiritual concerns in healthcare settings. Students are invited to formulate proposals for projects related to healing and spiritual care to be carried out during the second part of the GRSP/healthcare practicum, GRSP 690. Projects focus ways to attend to the diversity of patients' and caregivers' spiritual and religious beliefs, values, and conflicts in a respectful, non-judgmental, and non-imposing fashion appropriate to students' roles in particular contexts.
GRSP 690 Integration of Academic Theory and Experiential Praxis in Healthcare Environments/Seminar
This course is intended to provide students with opportunities to make connections between practice in healthcare contexts and theories of spiritual care discussed in coursework. Students are offered on-site supervision, as they carry out an approved project related to spiritual in a healthcare or related environment for a minimum of twenty (20) hours. In sessions with other course participants totaling twelve hours, course participants have the opportunity to integrate experiences, beliefs, and knowledge from a variety of sources and to formulate personalized modes of healing practice for themselves.

A week with the Nike + iPod Sports Kit
The kit's been out for a while, and I have been running with my own (with a cheap shoe wallet; not Nike's shoes) for about a week now, so I figured I would post a brief review and some thoughts about one of the most unique (and arguably active) iPod accessories to date.

A more sophisticated approach to branded breast cancer supportPosted by Tom Megginson | 20-10-2011 17:40 | Category: Health, Pinkverts, Women's Issues
I really like this ad:
Why? Well, just look at it. Instead of wrapping itself in pink, it makes a positive statement about the value of growing old. It's especially apt coming from a cosmetics company. Similar to the Dove "Real Beauty" approach, but more subtle, this ad really makes you think and feel. And rather than associating itself with eternal youth, Biodermal brands growing old in good health.
Sure, the breast cancer message could have been more prominent. But I'd rather two understated than over-the-top.

Hello and welcome to my ePortfolio!
I'm Gwen Fernau and I'm a senior Communication Management and Design major at Ithaca College. I hail from Clinton, Massachusetts and am in love with the New England area. Two summers ago I had the opportunity to work in the great city of Boston as an events intern at The Castle Group, a communications firm that handles both events and public relations. I gained invaluable experience at Castle, working closely with our entire team to research, plan, and execute the various events. By giving me meaningful tasks and plenty of responsibility, the folks at Castle left me with a clear insight into what it takes to work in a professional firm. And I left them a little something of my own in return! As an independent project I collaborated with Castle's partner company MK3 Creative to make a video about "A Day in the Life" of a Castle intern (http://www.thecastlegrp.com/about/careers/). I've always had a passion for photography, and making videos is just as fun.
Most recently I joined the biotechnology firm Biogen Idec for a US Public Relations internship that afforded me a window into in-house PR, healthcare PR, and how a global organization's PR team must operate. I completed multiple research projects and visual design components for my team, working with both internal and external elements. I produced multiple articles for our company intranet, which involved interviewing and photographing various employees. I also gained experience with answering a media line during my day-to-day activities.
I'm eager to continue my learning in the "real world," and to pursue a career in the public relations and corporate communications fields.
To talk further, feel free to shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

This map shows the size of Macedonia in relation to Indonesia.Show Macedonia on the map
The per capita consumption of electricity in Macedonia is 3,763kWh while in Indonesia it is 491kWh.
This entry consists of total electricity generated annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution.
Source: CIA World Factbook
Per capita public and private health expenditures combined in Macedonia are $630 USD while Indonesia spends $82 USD
This entry contains the per capita public and private health expenditure at purchase power parity using US Dollars. This figure combines government, personal, and employer spending on health care
Source: World Health Organization
Macedonia has an unemployment rate of 31.70% while Indonesia has 7.70%
This entry contains the percent of the labor force that is without jobs.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The GDP per capita in Macedonia is $9,000 while in Indonesia it is $4,000
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.

The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in Macedonia is 8.76 while in Indonesia it is 28.94.
This entry gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year; included is the total death rate, and deaths by sex, male and female. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The annual number of births per 1,000 people in Macedonia is 11.92 while in Indonesia it is 18.45.
This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The life expectancy at birth in Macedonia is 74.92 while in Indonesia it is 71.05.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
Source: CIA World Factbook
Macedonia consumes 0.2878 gallons of oil per day per capita while Indonesia consumes 0.2704
This entry is the total oil consumed in gallons per day (gal/day) divided by the population. The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The number of adults living with HIV/AIDS in Macedonia is 0.10% while in Indonesia it is 0.20%.
This entry gives an estimate of the percentage of adults (aged 15-49) living with HIV/AIDS. The adult prevalence rate is calculated by dividing the estimated number of adults living with HIV/AIDS at yearend by the total adult population at yearend.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The GINI index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income. In Macedonia is 39.00 while in Indonesia it is 39.40.
This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country. The index is calculated from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted against the number of families arranged from the poorest to the richest. The index is the ratio of (a) the area between a country's Lorenz curve and the 45 degree helping line to (b) the entire triangular area under the 45 degree line. The more nearly equal a country's income distribution, the closer its Lorenz curve to the 45 degree line and the lower its Gini index, e.g., a Scandinavian country with an index of 25. The more unequal a country's income distribution, the farther its Lorenz curve from the 45 degree line and the higher its Gini index, e.g., a Sub-Saharan country with an index of 50. If income were distributed with perfect equality, the Lorenz curve would coincide with the 45 degree line and the index would be zero; if income were distributed with perfect inequality, the Lorenz curve would coincide with the horizontal axis and the right vertical axis and the index would be 100.
Source: CIA World Factbook
With its 2,072,086 people Macedonia is the 143rd largest country in the world by population. It is the 149th largest country by area with 25,713 square kilometers. Macedonia gained its independence peacefully from Yugoslavia in 1991. Greece's objection to the new state's use of what it considered a Hellenic name and symbols delayed international recognition, which occurred under the provisional designation of "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." In 1995, Greece lifted a 20-month trade embargo and the two countries agreed to normalize relations. The United States began referring to Macedonia by its constitutional name, Republic of Macedonia, in 2004 and negotiations continue between Greece and Macedonia to resolve the name issue. Some ethnic Albanians, angered by perceived political and economic inequities, launched an insurgency in 2001 that eventually won the support of the majority of Macedonia's Albanian population and led to the internationally-brokered Ohrid Framework Agreement, which ended the fighting by establishing a set of new laws enhancing the rights of minorities. Fully implementing the Framework Agreement and stimulating economic growth and development continue to be challenges for Macedonia, although progress has been made on both fronts over the past several years.

Contents tagged with MEF
MEF Preview 9 released
MEF preview 9 has been released on codeplex http://mef.codeplex.com/releases/view/40606.
The only changes are some bug fixes for the .Net version and a couple additions to the SL version.
We brought back PackageCatalog but redesigned it under the name DeploymentCatalog and put it in System.ComponentModel.Composition.Initilization.dll
We renamed PartCreator to ExportFactory and put it in System.ComponentModel.Composition.Initilization.dll
Renamed type PartInitializer to CompositionInitializer
Renamed method CompositionHost.InitializeContainer to CompositionHost.Initialize
This drop contains a MEF.sln which loads in VS2008 and builds MEF against .Net 3.5 and MEFSL.sln which loads in VS2008 and builds MEF againts SL3. The API's are pretty much what we are shipping in .Net 4.0 and SL4 SDK respectively. However if you need a .Net 4 version of MEF we suggest that you install the RC version of .Net 4 and if you need an SL4 version of MEF you install the Silverlight 4 beta SDK.
As aways if you have issues or questions related to MEF feel free to post them in our dicsussion forums at http://mef.codeplex.com/Thread/List.aspx.
For some more detailed explanations of the changes in this preview have a look at Mike Taulty's post http://mtaulty.com/CommunityServer/blogs/mike_taultys_blog/archive/2010/02/17/new-mef-drop-preview-9-on-codeplex.aspx.
MEF preview 5 released
My team released the 5th source code preview of MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework). You can get the latest bits at MEF preview 5. A summary of the changes can be found on in the release notes but I will copy them here for convenience. If you have questions or concerns feel free to join the discussion.
Should MEF support non-shared components?
Hamilton has posted about the question of whether or not MEF should support non-shared as well as shared components (non-shared==factory and shared==singleton in our current public bits). In an ideal world we would love to support both but currently every solution we've come up with to support non-shared components has issues. We could pick a solution that we feel properly balances the advantages and disadvantages but that would require us to foresee exactly how the world is going to use MEF. While we believe we could pick a reasonable balance there is fear that we would pick the wrong balance for the majority of our future users. Therefore one approach to combat this is to not support non-shared components, at least in V1, and see what usage patterns reveal themselves in the wild and target that balance in V2.
Do you feel that it would be a mistake for the MEF team to only support shared/singleton components in V1? Keep in mind that there are patterns, as Hamilton pointed out, to still support non-shared/factory if you needed that support in V1.
MEF CTP2 released with source code.
My team released MEF CTP2 on codeplex at http://www.codeplex.com/MEF, this time with source code. We also created a number of documents (i.e. wiki pages) and samples that demonstrate how to use MEF.
First Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) bits released
Today was a big day for my team because we released the bits for the first CTP of the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF).

Anonymous Jets' players + LG Matt Slausen think Tim Tebow is "terrible"

I agree Tebow is getting a bad rap. And I'm not a fan. I loved the run last year and the playoff win, but I knew it was a "6-0 McD" style flash in the pan. Still, what's the worst that can be said about him? He is a limited QB? There are far less talented players who have played QB who have been far less fun to watch. He uses the NFL as a platform to espouse his religious views? I don't agree with his views but I don't care, and there have been athletes who have used the platform to express far more asinine sentiments.
It seems most of the vitriol directed at him is more aptly directed at his biggest fans, but it's not really much a mystery why he has so many fans. I mean that run last year was truly remarkable and even if it was a flash in the pan, there was something legitimately special about it.
The Jets players throwing him under the bus may have legitimate gripe with the chorus of fans and media wanting Tebow to play more, but they should direct it at where it's coming from. It's pretty lowball to direct their ire at a teammate who isn't even playing.

Vice President Joe Biden today said there's "no doubt" that Bashar al-Assad's regime is responsible for the recent chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians, as the Obama administration weighs its response.
"There is no doubt that an essential international norm has been violated — violated. Chemical weapons have been used," the vice president told the American Legion National Convention in Houston. "And there is no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in Syria: the Syrian regime."
"For we know that the Syrian regime are the only ones who have the weapons — have used chemical weapons multiple times in the past, have the means of delivering those weapons, have been determined to wipe out exactly the places that were attacked by chemical weapons," he continued. "And instead of allowing U.N. inspectors immediate access, the government has repeatedly shelled the sites of the attack and blocked the investigation for five days."
President Obama believes that "those who use chemical weapons against defenseless men, women and children should and must be held accountable," Biden said.
The vice president has been in contact with his foreign counterparts as the Obama administration contemplates how to hold Syria accountable.

1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder or ground allspice
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 (8-ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained, liquid reserved
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the skillet clean.
Add the reserved pineapple liquid, water, ketchup, vinegar, and brown sugar to the skillet; bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and bell pepper to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until the meatballs are cooked through and the bell pepper is tender-crisp, 6 – 8 minutes. Gently stir in the pineapple chunks and scallions; heat through.
Lighter Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers with Pineapple Salsa
1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut, chopped
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 pound chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
Pineapple Salsa
2 (8-ounce) cans unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
Combine the coconut, breadcrumbs, flour, brown sugar, and curry powder on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle the tenders with the salt. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy; add the chicken tenders and toss to coat. Lift the chicken from the egg whites one at a time, and coat with the coconut mixture, pressing so the coating adheres. Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray both sides of the chicken with nonstick spray. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
Meanwhile, to prepare the salsa, toss the pineapple, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Serve the salsa with the chicken.
Lighter Fried Green Tomatoes
1 egg white
10 drops hot sauce (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Combine buttermilk, egg white, and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Mix cornmeal and salt in a pie dish. Dip the tomato slices into the buttermilk mixture, then into the cornmeal, gently turning to coat.
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the tomato slices in a single layer and cook until browned on one side, 3 – 4 minutes.
Transfer the slices, browned-side up, to the cookie sheet. Lightly spray the tomatoes with nonstick spray. Bake until the tomatoes are golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining oil, and tomato slices.
Serve hot.
Test Kitchen Note: about 5 (1/4-inch-thick slices per tomato), 2 ½ tomato slices per serving
Creamy Artichoke and Spinach Dip with Pita Chips
2 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, all excess water squeezed out
6 ounces Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
Pita chips
In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients except the pita chips. Spoon the artichoke mixture into the prepared casserole. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve hot or warm with pita chips.
Lighter Spicy Cheese Straws
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 (17.3-ounce) package puff pastry sheets (1 sheet), thawed
Place the Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne in a food processor; pulse until finely grated.
Unfold the pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll the sheet into a 10 x14-inch rectangle. With the long side facing you, sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom half of the pastry.
Fold the top half of the pastry over the filling, pressing along the edges with your fingers to seal. Press the top of the pastry lightly with the rolling pin to seal.
Cut the pastry with a floured knife or pizza cutter lengthwise into 28 (1/2-inch-thick) strips. Twist the strips and place on the baking sheets, pressing down on the ends to keep the strips in place.
Bake until the cheese straws are puffed and golden, rotating the baking sheets halfway through cooking time, 12 – 15 minutes. Do not over bake or the cheese will burn. Transfer the cheese straws to a wire rack. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I often speak with people who have purchased a dog for personal protection or for protection around the home. I often find that they have selected the wrong breed or temperament for a protection dog. The first thing that you should look at when purchasing a protection dog is the breed. Yorkshire Terriers and Shih-tzu's do not generally make good personal protection prospects. Common breeds for good personal protection dogs are German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Giant Schnauzers, Tervurens, Groenendaels, and some bully breeds. I am not saying that a breed not previously listed could not be trained as a suitable protection dog. What I am saying is that the breed should definitely be taken into consideration.
A good protection dog should possess the appropriate drives for the work. They should also have the proper temperament and social skills to be a good protection dog. In order to properly select a dog for personal protection, you should have some understanding of these basic drives and temperament traits.
Many people want to purchase puppies for personal protection dogs. Their philosophy is that the dog should grow up in their home in order to be able to accept their family and live well there. This idea is generally not the best way to go. First of all, You never know what a puppy will end up like as an adult. They can often show nice drives and temperament as a puppy and things can quickly change. Secondly, If you purchase a pup for a protection dog, it wil be at least one year before the dog is capable of performing at all.
For those who are serious about making a commitment to their safety and are considering a personal protection dog, I would highly recommend purchasing a pre trained adult. By purchasing an adult, you can see what the dog is like in it's true form. There is no guesswork about what it will be like when it grows up. You also get a dog that is fully functional and can perform for you almost immediately. If the dog has been selected for the proper temperament by the trainer/handler, making the transition to you home should be quick and effortless.

« Video: Behind the Scenes of Nas & Damian Marley's 'Distant Relatives'
Sneak Peek: Janet Jackson – 'Nothing' »
Erykah Badu Lights Up L.A.'s El Rey Theatre
On Tuesday night, fans eagerly waited for over two hours to catch Erykah Badu perform at a "secret show" and album release party for her new album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of The Ankh at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. The restless crowd was alleviated with black-and-white home videos of Badu, a DJ spinning everything from "Welcome to Jamrock" to some of her biggest hits, and last but not least, the woman of the hour, who worked the room, posing for pictures with adoring fans.
Clad in her now signature beaded, braided wig, khaki trench coat, and boots, the soul songstress joined her 10-piece band, which included bongos and a harp, and played over 15 songs. The audience went wild when she performed her 1996 hit "On and On." During "Twinkle," she disrobed to reveal a pair of jeans, a flannel top, and that increasingly popular bottom half.
"OK, it's time. If you got it, light it up," Badu announced as she began "Back in the Day (Puff)" while she passed an imaginary joint to her band and eventually into the audience. After staging several songs on the drum machine and dancing, she closed with her much-talked-about single "Window Seat" and left the crowd with this: "Remember, your smile is contagious and it can spark…a million." Lil Wayne's "A Milli" then played on cue as she exited the stage after nearly two hours of pure funk and soul.
