Pere Ubu is an experimental rock music group formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Despite many long-term band members, singer David Thomas is the only constant. The group is named after Père Ubu ("father Ubu"), the protagonist of Ubu Roi ("Ubu, the King"), a play by French writer Alfred Jarry.[3]
While Pere Ubu have never been widely popular—usually categorized as "underground rock"—they have a devoted following and are an influential and critically acclaimed band. Pere Ubu have compiled a list of guidelines for touring, live performances and the like: "Lighting should be theatrical rather than rockist. We are interested in atmosphere, mood, drama, energy, subtlety, imagination—not rock cliché."[4] The Danish Broadcasting Corporation is one of the few organizations they trust to record live performances, "solely on the basis of the King of Denmark's defense of the Jews in WWII".[4]
To define their music, Pere Ubu coined the term avant-garage to reflect interest in both experimental avant-garde music (especially musique concrète) and raw, direct blues-influenced garage rock. Thomas has stated the term is "a joke invented to have something to give journalists when they yelp for a neat sound bite or pigeonhole".[5]
Rocket from the Tombs was a Cleveland-based group that eventually fragmented: some members formed The Dead Boys, and others The Saucers, while David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner joined with guitarist Tom Herman, bass guitarist Tim Wright, drummer Scott Krauss and synthesist Allen Ravenstine to form Pere Ubu in 1975. At the time the band formed, Herman, Krauss, and Ravenstine lived in a house owned by Ravenstine.[6]
Pere Ubu's debut single (their first four records were singles on their own "Hearthan" label) was "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" (inspired by the "Doolittle Raid" and named after a film depicting the raid), backed with "Heart of Darkness"; followed by "Final Solution" in 1976. One review noted that "30 Seconds" "was clearly the work of a garage band, yet its arty dissonance and weird experimentalism were startlingly unique."[7]
Final Solution[edit]
Of their second single, "Final Solution" (backed with "Cloud 149"), one scribe writes that Ubu's "call for a 'final solution' was the cry of teen angst run down in the decaying rust belt of America, and unlike the British punks who were looking around England the same year, seeing no future, and hating what they saw, Ubu reveled in it."[8]
The teenage-wasteland theme of the song has nothing to do with the Nazi use of "final solution": Indeed, Pere Ubu has consistently denounced Nazism and neo-Nazi movements, and praised resistance to Nazism and rescues of Jews in WWII.[4] Pere Ubu stopped playing "Final Solution" for many years to avoid association with Nazism.[9]
From these first recordings, Pere Ubu sounded like little else. Their propulsive rhythmic pulse was similar to Krautrock, but Thomas's yelping, howling, desperate singing was and still is peculiar when compared to most other rock and roll singers.
In their songs, Pere Ubu imagined 1950s and 1960s garage rock and surf music archetypes as seen in a distorting funhouse mirror, emphasising the music's angst, loneliness and lyrical paranoia. Sometimes sounding like a demented nursery rhyme sing-along, this already bizarre blend was overlaid with Ravenstine's ominous EML synthesizer effects and tape looped sounds of mundane conversation, ringing telephones or steam whistles.
Other recordings of the 1970s[edit]
"Street Waves" b/w "My Dark Ages (I Don't Get Around)" was their third single, and after their fourth single, "The Modern Dance" b/w 'Heaven" (which was pressed in very small quantities and contained a completely different mix of "Dance"), Pere Ubu signed to Blank Records, a short-lived imprint of Mercury Records.
Laughner left the group after their first two singles, and died soon afterwards of Acute Pancreatic Failure. Tony Maimone signed on as bassist after Tim Wright left to join DNA.
Their debut album, The Modern Dance (1978), contained a remix of "The Modern Dance" and the original mix of "Street Waves", sold poorly, but has proven influential. Musicians of many types, including progressive rock, punk rock, post punk and new wave, were influenced by the dark, abstract record. With the song "Sentimental Journey," the debut also introduced the practice of re-appropriating titles from well-known popular songs: Pere Ubu's "Sentimental Journey" has no obvious relation to the Doris Day hit song of the same name; "Drinking Wine Spodyody" has no apparent connection to the Sticks McGhee song (later revived by Jerry Lee Lewis). This practice has continued through 2006's Why I Hate Women, which has a song called "Blue Velvet" (again, no relation to the 1963 hit song by Bobby Vinton).
Special note should be made of Ravenstine's contributions to Pere Ubu. While most synthesizer players tended to play the instrument as they would a piano or organ, Ravenstine generally opted instead to make sounds that were reminiscent of spooky sound effects from 1950s science fiction films, or perhaps electronic music and musique concrète. One critic writes that Ravenstine "may be one of the all-time great synth players" [10] and his playing has been called "utterly original".[11]
Pere Ubu's second and third albums, Dub Housing and New Picnic Time, followed with much the same reaction.
The group briefly disbanded in 1979, but reformed soon afterwards with Herman replaced by Mayo Thompson (of Red Krayola).
The Art of Walking (1980) featured Red Krayola's Mayo Thompson on guitar. For the next original album, Song of the Bailing Man (1982), Krauss was replaced by Anton Fier.
The group disbanded again soon afterwards; Krauss and Maimone formed Home and Garden, while Thomas worked on a solo career, notably with Richard Thompson and with members of Henry Cow.
By the late 1980s, one of Thomas's solo projects eventually featured much of Pere Ubu. The band was reformed again in 1987, with Jim Jones and Chris Cutler joining for the release of The Tenement Year (1988), a far more pop-oriented album than ever before. The following year, "Waiting for Mary" (off Cloudland) appeared on MTV briefly. After the recording of Cloudland, Ravenstine left the group (although he made a guest appearance on Worlds in Collision) and later became an airline pilot. Eric Drew Feldman joined the band in time for the Cloudland tour and the recording of Worlds in Collision but left afterwards, joining Frank Black.
1990s and beyond[edit]
Story of My Life (1993) was released on Imago Records; Maimone left (once again) to join They Might Be Giants, and Michele Temple and Garo Yellin joined the band for the Story of My Life tour and feature on Ubu's 1995 album, Ray Gun Suitcase. Robert Wheeler has played synthesizer and theremin with Pere Ubu since 1994. Krauss left the band during the Ray Gun Suitcase sessions. For the Ray Gun Suitcase tour, guitarist Jim Jones departed as a touring member (although he continued to contribute to recordings), founding guitarist Tom Herman replaced him for the tour.
Concurrent with the 1996 release of the Datapanik in Year Zero box set, Jim Jones retired due to health problems. Tom Herman returned to the band after a twenty-year absence to tour with the band in 1995, and went on to record Pennsylvania (1998) and St. Arkansas in 2002. Jim Jones contributed guitar tracks to each album as well, and guitarist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame joined the band for their 1998 summer tour.[12] Herman left again in 2005, being replaced by Keith Moliné, of David Thomas's "solo" group Two Pale Boys. The new lineup completed an album entitled Why I Hate Women, which was released on 19 September 2006.
On 18 February 2008, Jim Jones died at his Cleveland residence.
On 24 April 2008 the Ether festival at the South Bank Centre (London, England) hosted the world premiere of Bring Me The Head of Ubu Roi.[13] This adaptation by David Thomas of Alfred Jarry's play Ubu Roi was accompanied by animations by the Brothers Quay. The production featured David Thomas as Pere Ubu and Sarah Jane Morris as Mere Ubu.
In 2010 Pere Ubu played a series of theatrical shows in the UK including a set at the Classic Grand in Glasgow's Jamaica Street.
- "Pere Ubu is not now nor has it ever been a viable commercial venture. We won't sleep on floors, we won't tour endlessly and we're embarrassed by self-promotion. Add to that a laissez-faire attitude to the mechanics of career advancement and a demanding artistic agenda and you've got a recipe for real failure. That has been our one significant success to this date: we are the longest-lasting, most disastrous commercial outfit to ever appear in rock 'n' roll. No one can come close to matching our loss to longevity ratio." – David Thomas[14]
- "Rock music is mostly about moving big black boxes from one side of town to the other in the back of your car."[15]

Well sir, I have never been accused of being terribly smart and politicaly astue, so here I go jumping from the frying pan into the fire on a subject that some have said in the forums is a dead horse and beaten to death. But there is more to the tire pressure story than just when will it fail or blow up. Or how much pressure to ad and when.
We all know that a tire that is under inflated will use more power to make it roll than a properly inflated tire. That is because of these factors:
- The tire is presenting a larger foot print on the ground increasing the rolling resistance.
- The distance from the steel or aluminum wheel to the tread is less on the bottom than on the top meaning that the wheel is constantly climbing up hill on the tire. The cords in a radial tire under the tread are wrapped around the tire like a bulldozer tread.
- The side wall flexes more with less tire pressure meaning that the cords in the tire are constantly rubbing together creating heat from friction. The side wall cords are wrapped from one bead of the tire up and over the tread.
OK, it is true that heat will increase the air pressure inside a tire but that is proportional and you will not make up the under iflation difference with that heat build up. But that heat build up can be enough to start to make the tires various parts loose their bond with each other. That is evidenced by the sightings of long strips of tread rubber beside the highway. They lost their bond and flew off. By the way all tires, new or recaps, are the same as the tread is laid on and vulcanized to the body of the tire called the carcass. The only difference is that the new tire the tread is vulcanized to new material and on the recap it is vulcanized to an old surface that has been ground down.
Proper tire inflation for the weight being carried means that the tire will flex within the design limits established by the tire engineer. This is the weight at so many pounds per square inch of pressure listed on the side wall. The engineer says to us that this tire will not flex it's side walls exsessively at this ratio. He is also telling us that the tread pattern on the ground will be within acceptable size limits at these limits.
Under inflation is not only a problem when considering heat build up but can effect tire wear and wet driving traction. When a tire is under inflated the center part of the tread tends to be pushed up inside of itself causing more of the load of the tire to be borne on the shoulders of the tire. This will wear the two outer edges of the tread well before the center of the tread wears. In doing this the tread pattern is distorted and the gaps in the tread squeeze together. It is the gaps in the tread that provides an escape route for water on the road surface when it is raining. Under inflated tires will hydroplane, lift off the pavement and float on the surface of the water, at lower speeds than properly inflated tires.
Yes I know, the old "lower the air pressure when driving on sand" theme and that works because on sand you are not looking for traction you are looking to get the largest footprint on the sand to float the vehicle that you can. However the old lower the air pressure on snow has the opposite effect as it closes up all the nice biting surfaces of the tire tread that provides traction.
Over inflation can be seen in tire wear as the tread tends to wear more in the middle as the tire is ballooned out. Now with all of that said you are going to have wait until next week to see what I have to say about how to figure out the correct or recommended pressure, how tire pressure effects handling, and ride. I'll be waiting for your comments.


text: 22 Items View: 12 / 24 / 48 Good Lighting By Christopher on 10/14/2014 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend I've had a Vega for about 3 years now since they first came out and I have no major issues. The light works great and has almost too many channels to customize. The output is fairly decent and I have no problem growing SPS. Not as powerful as a friends Ecotech Radion but gets the job done with tons of color. After the recent price reduction I decided to buy a second to cover more area on my 57gal DeepBlue and the coverage is perfect. No complaints except the life of the cooling fan in the top. My fan died after about 2 years after getting clogged with dust - the light shut down so it didn't overheat and self destruct which was nice. Notified AI and they sent me a new fan free of charge which took 5 mins to install. Great light! My first LED's By friartuck on 6/11/2014 friartuck would recommend this product to a friend I had a really hard time trying to figure out what LED array to purchase. I watched the BRS video on how to choose your lighting. It REALLY helped. I wanted Radions but they were just too much. Once I came to terms with that, the decision was easy. AI makes a good product but did you know they have excellent customer support?. I had an issue a couple of days into acclimation, so I called their support number and couldn't believe an actual PERSON answered on the first ring! The rep walked me through the issue patiently and nicely. Their online interface could be just a tad more intuitive. Other than that things have been going well so far. I'll post an update further down the line! Awesome light.....but By Mike on 3/1/2014 Mike would recommend this product to a friend This is really a great light. Very powerful so you need to be careful. My only complaint is that on the AI website they advertise 20 channels of control....so you would figure with 20 leds you would have individual control of each one...not true. It may be capable of 20 channel control but at this point in time you can only control color groups....the same level of control you have with a Hydra.....disappointing...but the quality of the light overshadows this in my opinion. The best feature is the upgrade path provided by AI with the customizable LED pucks your options are endless Second-best thing that I have purchase By Just hanging on 2/1/2014 Just hanging would recommend this product to a friend So far so good I'm liking it's more and more each day it's being controlled by the Neptune system and that makes it great piece of equipment to have thank you LEDs Read Warranty Carefully! By S&T on 7/25/2013 S&T wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I recently got my dream tank, a custom made 215 DSA and spared no expense so I went w 3 AI's 499.99 a piece. After 4 months one unit went out much to my dismay. I was instructed to open up unit and found no water barrier/gasket which allowed for moisture to enter thus causing a short. You would think that something thats going to be over water would have taken this into account. Warranty Does Not Cover this! $60 for a New Mother Board plus installation, versus having to spend another $500. So buyers do your Homework so you wont have any surprises. Unbelievable By Bill K on 7/2/2013 Bill K would recommend this product to a friend I bought three of them for my 220 gallon tank. The colors are unbelievable. First time with LED lights well worth the money. Very easy to install and set up. Have them hanging down 6 inches fron the top of the tank plenty of light have them on 50%. Great Product By Don on 7/1/2013 Don would recommend this product to a friend Having 2x 250 Watt MHs for over ten years, replacing bulbs became expensive. I called AI direct (as well as the competition) and AI was excellent. They answered all my questions and sold the product for me. If they care that much up front they care down the road too. I was excited to see the difference between LED and MH light in my tank. I'm WAY surprised at how much brighter and "cleaner" the light looks. My hard and soft corals are doing great. The install was easy, setup easier, and then there's the cool factor of the weather effects. Lightening, clouds, and being able to turn the tank red/green/blue just to have fun. Strong and customizable By Chris on 6/6/2013 Chris would recommend this product to a friend Produces intense, beautiful light that is easily customized. The lunar cycle and weather simulation are cool value adds, but the fact that you have to buy a $80 controller to really use the light is unfortunate. It is also a pain to mount a single unit; I had to buy a small EXT rail and cut it in half, in addition to the overpriced hanging kit. Worth Every Penny! By Idol on 6/2/2013 Idol would recommend this product to a friend I have been keeping salt water aquariums for almost 40 years. These AI Vega LED color units are AWSOME. When you get you lights and the controller you should plug the controller into your PC and go to the AI site for the update. It will install the latest software and then you can install your lights. When you set up for the wireless you will assign the light units positions. When the lights are all hooked up you will see a message for you to update the software in the units and just follow the directions on the controller screen. These units are plenty strong for light penetration. LOW electric bills will follow :) Outstanding Lights By Mark on 5/28/2013 Mark would recommend this product to a friend I am building out a new 125 gallon tank and purchased 3 of the Vega Colors. So far I am very satisfied with the lights. Very customize-able and very easy to set up and modify to fit your needs. Also very easy to mount with a great deal of flexibility. With the 3 lights I am getting great coverage all across the tank, no shadows even with the tank cross bars. I believe that this lighting solution has the best blend of lights, costs and flexibility of all of the solutions out there. Once they come out with the director, this solution will be flawless and would move up to a 5 star. Just bought three of them By ReefDVMs on 5/13/2013 ReefDVMs would recommend this product to a friend Just bought three of them placed them on the 60" long tank and love how they look and work. They are fairly compacted and I love the wireless communication between them Why not 5 Stars By Steven on 5/1/2013 Steven would recommend this product to a friend I really like the unit, I have two of them over one of my display tanks. What gets this a 4 star instead of 5 is the programmability of the pucks. There is not a really great way without manually doing all of the percentages manually on the remote also AI only interfacing. I really wish I could log into a website and create a profile and then upload it like some competitors. As far as actual performance, none better. The colors are brilliant and make me smile constantly. I recommend these none the less! The best light By Barry on 4/22/2013 Barry would recommend this product to a friend I have been in the hobby now for 28 years and I like them so much I now have 8 of them Beautiful Colors By Brandon on 4/5/2013 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend Having this light on my tank is like I just got a new tank. I upgraded to this light from a T5HO fixture and it is a world of difference. I can't stop looking at my tank! It seems everywhere I look I find something with colors the T5's just didn't bring out. Not to mention the shimmer effect does nothing but add to the beauty of the tank. 2 out of 3 By paul on 4/2/2013 paul would recommend this product to a friend Received our 3 Vega Color Led Modules, two of them work flawlessly. The third however had no green led's light on light test, so we ran the light test again. The second time we ran the test only one of the green led's lit while the other remained unlit. Still waiting on a reply from BRS on this issue. AWESOME AGAIN By GRENLR on 3/18/2013 GRENLR would recommend this product to a friend I could not be more pleased I have 4 of them on a 6ft 125 gallon SPS tank. The set up was easy, service for AI great, and the fact my reef club RRMAS did the install even better. They attached the rail system with clamps to the top of my canopy. My only concerns, look at the bracing in your tank to see what impact it will have on your lighting and second to get the best spread within my canopy left my corners a little dark so I added stunner strips just to balance the light. AWESOME By GREGNLR on 3/18/2013 GREGNLR would recommend this product to a friend I could not be more pleased I have 4 of them on a 6ft 125 gallon SPS tank. The set up was easy, service for AI great, and the fact my reef club RRMAS did the install even better. They attached the rail system with clamps to the top of my canopy. My only concerns, look at the bracing in your tank to see what impact it will have on your lighting and second to get the best spread within my canopy left my corners a little dark so I added stunner strips just to balance the light. Great light until it wasn't so great By Ashley on 3/14/2013 Ashley would recommend this product to a friend We have had the Vega over our 40 gallon reef for a couple months now; we have loved the performance until recently. They give great color, the reef pops ten times as much as it did with T5s. The ability to control the lights as well as the daylight to moon light transition are amazing, and we have loved watching the tank so much more since getting the Vega. One issue we have had is salt creep; the light is mounted a little under 6" from the water line on an open top tank (AI says you can be as close as 4") but we have to use a microfiber cloth every week to clean the salt off the unit. This past week it started disconnecting from the controller and stayed stuck on blue LEDs. To the company's credit they paid for us to ship the unit to have them look at it. However they said that there was water damage and that we would have to pay for the repairs since that was not covered under warranty. We followed instructions to a T and still ended up with water damage; we will be moving the light to 8" now. So just a warning to future owners Wow! Whole lotta light. By reese on 3/12/2013 reese would recommend this product to a friend Great lights, they put out a lot of light. Not much for instruction though. Best LED available By Curtis on 3/10/2013 Curtis would recommend this product to a friend These lights are great, programming can be a little tricky...wish ai would release the director controller that has been promised for a long time....but still the best available. Powerful! By Remy on 3/8/2013 Remy would recommend this product to a friend This is an awesome light, extremely powerful, be sure to dial it down if you are upgrading from power compacts or t5s like I have. It can easily fry your corals if you do not allow for ample acclimation time. A word of caution however, the Vega (as of now) does not connect to the Neptune Apex controller like the AI Sol does. I learned this the expensive way so don't do what I did and do not purchase the VDM Module, it won't connect as the Vegas are wireless. I hear there is something in the works though, and once the AI Director comes out there really won't be a huge need for this as the Director is basically a controller just for the lights.

The Christian faith first came to the province of Bohol, the tenth largest island in the Philippines located in the center of the Visayas, immediately after the coming of the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1565. Legaspi had entered into a blood compact with the local chieftain Datu Sikatuna advancing friendship between Spain and the Sovereignty of the Island.
The first batch of missionaries were members of the Society of Jesus who established the municipalities of Baclayon in 1595, Loboc in 1602 and Dauis in 1697 as the first centers of Catechism. The faith spread over the island through friendship and intermarriage between the spanish soldiers and the native women.
The Diocese of Tagbilaran was formally vested a diocese by virtue of a Papal Bull by Pope Pius XII on November 8, 1941 separating it from the Archdiocese of Cebu. It originally comprised the entire civil province of Bohol with a total land area of 3,979 square kilometers.
Due to the outbreak of World War II, the newly created Diocese was without a Bishop. The governance of the Diocese remained in the hands of Most Rev. Gabriel Reyes, D.D., the Archbishop of Cebu who acted as Apostolic Administrator.
On June 29, 1946, the Most Rev. Julio R. Rosales, D.D. was named the first Bishop of Tagbilaran, taking canonical possession of the Diocese on September 25, 1946. A gifted organizer Bishop Rosales is credited with initiating the process of setting spiritual and material foundations of the diocese through intensification of the devotion to the Sacred Heart, the Apostleship of prayer, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, the Legion of Mary, the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Women's League, and the establishment of diocesan high schools in parishes with big conventos. In 1949, he organized the first diocesan mission team composed of the latest ordained priests, Fr. Pelagio Dompor, Fr. Mariano Gaviola, Fr. Pedro Namoc, Fr, Matias Morgia, Fr. Gaudioso Sucre, Fr. Simeon Daquipa, Fr. Saturnino Felicitas, and Fr. Placido Cajoy, sending them in two-pronged parish-to-parish mission that culminated with the arrival of the image of our Lady of Fatima. Most noteworthy of the legacies of Bishop Rosales was the founding of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary in 1950. He was later transferred as the Archbishop of Cebu on December 17, 1949 but remained Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Tagbilaran until November 16, 1951 when the Most Rev. Manuel M. Mascariñas, D.D. then Bishop of Palo, was appointed the second bishop of Tagbilaran.
Bishop Manuel Mascariñas, a son of Antequera, Bohol and erstwhile Bishop of Palo, Leyte ascended as second bishop of Tagbilaran on January 29, 1952 with his motto "Confido in Domino". Paternally continuing the pastoral process begun by Bishop Rosales, he built two more buildings for the rapidly expanding seminary, introduced the 40 Hours Devotion, established the For More Priests Club (now St. Joseph Vocation Society) founded more diocesan high schools in the parishes, and initiated the retreat movement. He represented the diocese in the Second Vatican Council and started the Aggiornamento in the diocese. Later in his term, he was assisted by an auxiliary bishop. Bishop Juan Nilmar, who initiated the proper administration of the temporal goods in the diocese and introduced the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines Pension Plan for the clergy. Because of old age, Bishop Mascariñas was succeded by the Most Rev. Onesimo Gordoncillo, D.D., then the Auxiliary Bishop of Dumaguete.
Bishop Onesimo Gordoncillo, a Negrense, bearing the motto "Veritatem Tuam Annunciabo," took over in 1976, as the third bishop of the diocese. Aside from effectively pursuing the programs of his predecessors, he is credited with introducing the Parish Pastoral Council set up, elevating eight priests to the rank of Honorary Prelate, while completing the auditorium and chapel of the Taloto seminary. During his administration, the "Diocesan Thrust," initiated by the Bohol Clergy, ushered the diocesan focus towards the establishment of the Basic Christian Communities. After 45 years of existence as a diocese, the Diocese of Tagbilaran was split into two dioceses with the creation of the Diocese of Talibon comprising half of the civil province of Bohol.
The Most Rev. Felix Zafra, D.D., then the Bishop of Dipolog, succeeded Bishop Gordoncillo. He came to serve the diocese as fourth bishop of Tagbilaran on December 2, 1986. "Ut Vitam Abundantius Habeant" (That they may have life more abundantly) has been his guiding motto. Early in his term the Diocese of Tagbilaran gave birth to the Diocese of Talibon. It was also during his term that the diocese experienced vigorous growth brought about by ecclesiastical landmarks like the National Eucharistic Year, the Ruby Jubilee of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary, and the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines. The term of Bishop Zafra saw the proliferation of the Perpetual Adoration chapels in the parishes. It was also through the favorable climate created by the bishop that religious sisters who now outnumber the priests, came to establish houses, schools, and ministries in the diocese. More parishes, too, were erected.
Having reached the age of retirement , Bishop Zafra was succeeded by the Most Rev. Leopoldo S. Tumulak, D.D.. then Auxiliary Bishop of Cebu on January 1993. Ever mindful of his motto, "Unitas in Caritate" (Unity in Love), he steered the Diocese toward convening the first ever Diocesan Synod in 1997. The Synod articulated among other things its vision of a renewed local Church, a community of disciples journeying in faith, living out in earnest the vocation of prophet, priest and king, with Mary as model. Following the inspiration of the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines, the vehicle for this vision of renewal was aptly identified as the Gaymay'ng Simbahanong Katilingban (Basic Ecclesial Communities). The formation and enrichment of the Basic Ecclesial Communities became thereon the basic diocesan pastoral thrust. Manifesting an important component of the vision, the Synod also decreed the implementation of the New Financial System (NFS). Under the NFS, motivated by the experience solidarity and fraternity, the standardization of the allowance of the clergy and centralization of funds were instituted.
In 2005 the See of Tagbilaran was rendered vacant following the appointment and subsequent installation of Bishop Tumulak as Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of the Philippines. As Apostolic Administrator, Bishop Tumulak continued at the helm of governance until the canonical possession of the Diocese in December of 2006 by Bishop Leonardo Medroso, the sixth Bishop of Tagbilaran.

Kids Cafe
1:51 PM on Thursday, July 19th, 2012No Comments
As a Marketing Intern for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, I was blessed with the opportunity to visit one of our Kids Cafe programs at the Skyline Urban Mission. I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with the children and staff during my visit.
I learned about the techniques they use in educating children on how to have a healthy lifestyle. Areas of focus in achieving this goal are: identifying healthy food choices, learning the food pyramid and hands-on preparation of meals and snacks. This program also provides additional support for children through mentoring, tutoring and one-on-one relationships. Kids Cafe stimulates character development, social interactions, proper manners and conflict resolution for the children. They use innovative methods to actively involve the children through arts and crafts, outdoor activities and cognitive development. The best part about programs like these is the experiences that the children have, in addition to the relationships developed.
When an evaluation was done on the effectiveness of the Kids Cafe program, it revealed many positive results. Both parents and children were asked how the program benefited them. The results were as follows:
- 91 percent of the children said to have learned more about healthy foods
- 93 percent of the parents witnessed behavioral improvements in their children
- 80 percent of the children had grade improvements
- 98 percent said they met adults or older kids that respected them through the program
Through my own experience at the Skyline Urban Mission, and the results of the children involved, I believe this program is truly remarkable and beneficial for the children. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to experience the Kids Cafe first hand.

5:12 PM on Monday, March 8th, 2010No Comments
Though donations are still being counted, nearly $100,000 was raised at the 23rd Annual Chefs' Feast, which will support 500 children in the Food 4 Kids program.

A Word from Chefs' Feast Coordinating Chef Don Thiery
12:53 PM on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010No Comments
I really love acting as a Coordinating Chef for the Chefs' Feast every year. I've been involved with this event so long that even Rodney Bivens (the Regional Food Bank's Executive Director) looked young back then. (Then again, so did I!) That first year that I was involved, we were expecting about 275 guests. Boy, have times changed. This year, we are expecting more than 800 people to attend!
I encourage you all to come out and taste what the chefs have prepared, while keeping in mind that the money raised will help sustain the Regional Food Bank's Food 4 Kids program throughout the year. The Food 4 Kids backpack program is particularly important to me – it ensures that the chronically hungry kids on the program have something good to eat during the weekends and school holidays. We hope to raise enough money this year to be able support 250 kids through the program. Even though nearly 8,000 children in 263 elementary schools participated in the program last year, there are still thousands of children who need this help.
The theme this year, Food Fight at the OK Corral, will fit right in with chefs and their excellent dishes. How can you go wrong with so many amazing chefs, the incredible restaurants they represent, and this amazing cause? Come out and sample some of the finest food in the region.
Get your ticket and/or table now before it's too late by contacting Angie Gaines today at firstname.lastname@example.com or 405-604-7109! We're hoping for a sell-out event !

Lawton Students Rocked Out to Fight Hunger
1:33 PM on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009No Comments
The totals are in, and the Lawton Rock-a-Thon earlier this month raised over $12,000 for Food 4 Kids in Lawton!
The Rock-A-Thon is organized by Jonathan Crider, a Central High School Junior, who has raised more than $50,000 for the Food 4 Kids backpack program in Lawton over the last several years. In 2007, more than 100 people participated, raising more than $15,000.
Crider first became involved with Food 4 Kids when he was 11 years old after hearing a radio Public Service Announcement about the backpack program. He has done everything from mowing lawns, working at construction sites and holding penny drives to help raise money for children in need. Crider was awarded the Outstanding Youth Philanthropist by the local Association of Fundraising Professionals and was recognized for his outstanding efforts to fight childhood hunger by the international organization, OneXOne, at a star-studded event in San Francisco in 2008. (Just look at these photos! Yes, that's David Arquette!)
He has two additional fundraising events coming soon, too! What an amazing young man!

Fancy your chances returning Sam Groth's serve?
If you were at the opposite end of the court to him, you'd probably struggle, given the strapping 26-year-old can belt down his first delivery at speeds of more than 260km/h. He even holds the record for the world's fastest serve, clocked at 263km/h at a 2012 ATP Challenger event in Busan, Korea.
But now, thanks to Kia, you might have better luck returning such a thunderbolt in the digital sphere.
Kia, the major sponsor of the Australian Open, has teamed up with Groth in a first-of-its-kind promotional activity; the interactive competition sees Groth featuring in a television commercial and hitting a serve, which viewers can return with their phones by downloading an app.
Just one of the perks for Groth has been scoring a Kia Optima to drive around as part of the deal.
"I'm excited to be associated with such a big brand and a major sponsor of the Australian Open," Groth said.
"Being Australian, having the biggest serve and coming into the Australian summer, it was a very good fit for Kia in terms of what they're looking for.
"There's been a little bit (previously in terms of sponsorship). I've had the fastest serve for a few years now, but now my ranking too is moving in right direction, so I hope more opportunities can come up like this. I've had clothing and racquet contracts before but this is biggest deal yet."
Indeed, such a deal comes on the back of Groth's rise inside the world's top 200; he currently sits at No.172, his highest-ever ranking in an eight-year pro career.
Several factors have been behind this rise. It's a fitter and more dedicated Groth who takes to the court these days, with more experience behind him and a healthier body.
After taking an eight-month hiatus from tennis to pursue other interests in 2011 – including a stint playing in a suburban-Melbourne Australian Rules football league team – Groth admits to somewhat "going through the motions" when he returned to tennis, although he did manage to improve his ranking almost 600 places during the 2012 season.
It was only when he linked up with coach Ben Mathias – in a shared arrangement with compatriots including John Millman, John-Patrick Smith and Matt Reid – that he fully rediscovered his passion and drive to compete.
"We went on the road and I got along really well with him, we chatted and discussed how I needed to apply myself day in and day out, and get fit – it was about my professionalism, about doing all the little things," Groth revealed.
"I've now dropped 10 kilograms and my skin folds are down to the best they've ever been. Plus 2013 was my fullest season after struggling with injuries – I played nearly 30 tournaments.
"(The improvement has been) a whole process. It started with diet; I'm a big guy already so it's about being strict with that. I also increased my workload both on and off the court. I do a lot more distance running and a lot less lifting in the gym, more focusing on bodyweight exercises.
"I decided to skip the (Australian Open) Play-off and focus on a training block; even in that time I've lost 4kgs and dropped my skin folds by 20 points."
Such dramatic improvements in conditioning have resulted in some major gains on court.
He clinched the Australian Pro Tour title in Mildura in February, and since June qualified for all three ATP events he entered at London's Queen's Club, Washington DC and St Petersburg. He capped the year with runs to the final of the Champaign Challenger and semis of the Toyota Challenger to win seven of his last nine matches.
Given his form and motivation, the Australian summer – during which he'll contest Brisbane and Australian Open qualifying – and the 2014 season couldn't come soon enough.
"I haven't performed as well as I would have liked in Australian Open qualifying in the past … I was lucky enough to get a wildcard in 2009; there's nothing better than playing in front of your home fans," he said.
"I'll sit down with my coach on Boxing Day and we'll come up with goals for the season. I want to be playing ATP events and the Slams."

May 1, 2007: Girl Power
Season 7, Episode 20

Robin Honig
We have just witnessed the power that is Gilmore. Who else could turn a reckless, rakish, rebellious little rich boy into a responsible, polite, mature grown man? And who else could make a rough, hardened, jaded tough-guy tear up over a love song? Yep, those are our girls! So Logan is going to ask Rory to marry him! And he actually went to Lorelai's house to ask her permission. Now, usually I would write this off as one of his typical smooth moves. But you know what? He had me at "I came here to see you, Lorelai." This wasn't just some old-fashioned formality. He really, really wanted her approval. And he thought he'd get it. After all, they'd just bonded over late-night pie and ice cream. She told him she believed he had cleaned up his act, that he didn't need to convince her anymore. But there's one teeny-tiny problem: Lorelai's reaction. The last time we saw that devastated look was when she woke up next to Christopher, not Luke. (That brilliant final shot has to finally earn Lauren Graham an Emmy nod.) So what is it? Was she caught off guard? Did she realize that the two Gilmores will no longer be one? Or does she feel deep down that he is wrong for Rory? Hard to say. But she doesn't have to love Logan, Rory does. And she's always supported her daughter. "You could never disappoint me. Ever. Ever. Ever," she told Rory when she didn't get the fellowship. So you know she'll say yes. Maybe it was too much to process. After all, she'd gone out the night before for a fun night of karaoke and ended up serenading Luke. It started off as a cheesy tribute to Rory: "Here's another embarrassing moment for your diary, kid! Happy Graduation!" Then out came a shaky but sweet version of "I Will Always Love You." (A little more Dolly than Whitney, but impressive nonetheless!) But just as she started to sing about "bittersweet memories, that's all I'll take with me," Luke walked in. And suddenly, everyone at KC's Bar knew it wasn't about Rory anymore. As Lorelai warbled her way through the goodbye song about "joy and happiness," Luke actually got choked up and teary-eyed. His rare display of emotion probably got Lorelai through that song. In the end he nodded and smiled. And I was wiping back tears. Good thing this ep wasn't entirely emotional. We finally got to see Lane with the twins, and she's totally rocking motherhood. She's so cool, she's willing to stay home and give Zack the chance to tour for two months with Vapor Rub. (Hilarious moniker, and apparently more famous than Hep Alien if they're playing Roseland and the Bowery Ballroom.) And Paris wouldn't be Paris if she didn't throw a party for her future Harvard Med School classmates just to size up the competition. Rory's future seems shaky, as the rejection letters pour in and she's turned down by the newspaper she'd just dissed. Apparently the Pro Jo is looking pretty good these days. At least she admitted that she was cocky about landing the fellowship, figuring she was "so in." When a meltdown ensued, mom came to her rescue with the pep talk ("Every setback is a setup for future accomplishments"), junk food (the diner, natch) and, of course, shopping. How can you not love this woman? I bet Luke is asking himself the same exact thing.

Excerpt from Crain's Chicago Business: (click for entire article)
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn achieved one of his top legislative priorities Thursday, signing a $2.7 billion package of cuts and taxes designed to repair a long-term deficit in the state's Medicaid program.
The Chicago Democrat signed five bills, including a tax increase on cigarettes of $1 per pack and $1.6 billion in Medicaid spending reductions.
"One of our most important missions in Springfield this year was to save Medicaid from the brink of collapse," Gov. Quinn said in a statement. "I applaud the members of our working group and of the General Assembly, who worked together in a bipartisan manner to tackle a grave crisis."

The Coco Chanel Biography
Coco Chanel(Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel) born August 19, 1883, grew up with her sister in an orphanage.
Her mother died when she was only 6 years old. Even though she still had her father, he was unable to deal with a family situation of 5 children.
Even at the young age of 6, Gabrielle already had a lively imagination of what she wanted to wear.
The simplicity of her orphanage attire later became the inspiration for the simple black Chanel dress with the imitation string of pearls or with a white camellia, her favorite flower.
Gabrielle learned her seamstress skills in Moulin, a city and village just a few hours away from Paris.
While living there, she also loved to go out to a local pub where she would sing her favorite song Qui qu a vu Coco dans le trocadero? which translates to Who has seen Coco in the Trocadero? This earned her the nickname of Coco.
Cocos first big love was Etienne Balsan, who introduced her to the sophisticated culture of Paris.
Later, she fell in love with Boy, Arthur Capel a hockey player who overwhelmed Coco with real and imitation jewels.
Capel turned out to be her true love, who helped her start her first business, a hat shop in Paris and a 2nd one in Deauville. Sadly, Coco lost her true love to an accident in 1919.
In 1921, Coco Chanel launched her first perfume; N°5. To this very day Chanel N°5 is the top selling perfume.
In 1931 Hollywood movie producer Samuel Goldwyn persuaded Coco to become Katharine Hepburn's and Grace Kelly's personal stylist.
Coco later moved temporarily to America where Greta Garbo and Marlène Dietrich became her regular clients.
In 1954, she moved back to France to start her own business. She was known to rule with an iron hand but her business was a great success. In 1971 Coco died alone in her apartment.
The impact of Coco Chanel in the fashion industry was enormous.
Her ideas, such as the use of jersey, the blouse, short skirts, women's sports wear, and short hair, to name a few, were revolutionary to the fashion world.
She even introduced black as a color and 'Chanel lipstick red'.
Chanel is one of the rare fashion houses that is still in private hands.
Head designer Karl Lagerfeld took over the company in 1983.
He cooperates with fashion models such as Inès de la Fréssange, Claudia Shiffer and Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

Simply put, not all water treatment companies are created equal. Many companies are rarely challenged to look at all the problems of contaminated waters and many risk a "one-size-fits-all" approach. A properly investigated, accurately sized, well specified and cost effective approach should be taken with any source of water.
Galway Water Solutions offer exceptionally well engineered water solutions and this is made all the more possible as we distribute the world's number one brand of water treatment products - Clack from the U.S, here in Ireland.
Galway Water Solutions import water treatment systems and medias directly from Clack Corporation in Wisconsin and distribute to selected Irish water treatment professionals with the back up of training and technical support.
We service a close client base of domestic and commercial system users in County Galway and work further afield with many other trade associates and new dealers around Ireland. We import the full range of Clack water softener valves, Clack media, Clack brine tanks, Clack reverse osmosis systems and the overall range of Clack manufactured products.
Clack designed the world beating WS1 series of water softener valve controls at the end of the 1990's and the Clack WS1 range launch around the millennium sparked a new era for highly efficient and ultra specified water softening systems. Clack have constantly updated valve software and added extra features year by year to keep Clack valves well ahead of the nearest competition.
Clack valves are designed with the benefit of diverting treated water via the brine injector to the brine tank unlike competing valves such as Autotrol logix and 255 valves and many other US made and none US valves. The unique design of using treated water for brine regeneration or with other types of regenerants especially on well water systems, is the outstanding clean valve performance over many years allowing servicing to be extended to 10 and 15 years into system life, leaving injectors completely clean along with clean brine tanks and less caking of salt tablets. Savings on service costs alone can extend into 1000's of euros over system life.
The use of Clack's state of the art water metering controls also allow extremely low salt use and low water use by gaining extended wash cycle intervals. Accurately calibrated Clack metered valves will allow around 2 to 6 bags of salt use (13 to 40 euros) per year for varying family sizes over varying water hardnesses. The savings on salt and water use, and pin pointing of household water leaks through Clack's sophisticated diagnostic software built into valves, means additional savings of 1,000's of euros of salt and water over the system life.
Clack valves have so many advanced features and high reliability design, that even though they are provided at equivalent costs of the older designs of Autotrol valves still sold by many dealers, Clack valve based water softeners are going to guarantee several thousands of euros savings compared to the expense and poor performance of rival valve controls.
Galway Water Solutions keep up to date with new Clack products and we are the only up to date factory trained personnel, in the provision of Clack products in Ireland. We stock the widest range of Clack products in Ireland from valves to vessels, brine tanks and various Clack components.
Galway Water Solutions demonstrate to clients how the installation of Clack water softeners and Clack reverse osmosis systems are best conducted, why products are chosen, how they work together, how they remove contaminants and our warranty back up, service costs and service schedules.
We offer free household surveys and basic water testing free of charge and advice on professional laboratory testing to domestic clients. Clients can test water fully using independent laboratories before and after installations for peace of mind to confirm the performance of products and the removal of contaminants including bacteria and cryptosporidium.
Galway Water Solutions business model is based on keeping as far ahead of other competitors as possible, by providing the best products at the best price with a far superior level of service. We guarantee to respond to calls promptly, answering in a friendly and informative way and answer client's questions fully.
All Clack valves have a standard 5 year factory warranty, and when provided by Galway Water Solutions on installed water softener systems, our parts and labour warranty is provided at a minimum 10 year warranty with the option to extend this to 20 years after the first 10 year low cost system service.
These criteria are by no way our limits, we not only deliver well within customer's expectations, Galway Water Solutions more than often perform beyond expections.

Little girls will love to make a paper bag tiara craft made from a grocery bag and a handful of artificial flowers!
Anyone else ready for some spring craft ideas after the long winter we've had? Making a paper bag tiara has been on my mind since Easter when we made our paper bag nests. Those nests were really simple to make, and I thought at the time that it would be neat to use the same process to make some paper hats. Our tiara is a great fairy craft, and it's a super addition to the dress up corner in our play room.
We tried our hand at it today, and were thrilled with the results! It was such a success, that I immediately decided that over the course of the next week or so, we'll make a variety of hats, and share them with you! Today, I present to you our "Woodland Fairy" paper bag tiara.
This was one of those crafts that you have a vision for, but you're not sure what it will really look like until it's done. Actually, that's the way it is with most of the stuff we do here, but let me tell you, when my little hooligan put the final touches on this one today, I was so excited! I couldn't wait to share it with all of you 'cuz I know you like your crafts like I do: sweet and simple!
Let's get started…
To make your Paper Bag Tiara, you'll need:
- paper grocery bag
- artificial flowers
- glue gun (low-temp for young children)
- raffia (or something similar like ribbon or yarn)
I always pick up artificial flowers when I'm second-hand shopping. The thrift stores that I frequent always have loads of them.
And for your convenience, I'm including Amazon Affiliate links to some of the products in this post:
How we made our tiara:
For starters, I cut off the bottom of the paper bag.
Next, I simply rolled the edge of the paper bag out and down, taking care not to rip the bag as I went along. When I reached the end of the bag, I used the glue gun to stick down any loose edges. I started getting excited here. It's lookin' good already, isn't it?
At this point, I handed it all over to my little sidekick, to transform it.
Low temperature glue guns are ideal when you're crafting with little ones. You just don't get the same stick factor with white glue. Heavier craft materials like these artificial flowers really require hot glue to hold them. The 3′s and 4′s have been using our glue guns for a couple of months now, and they love them. Have a look at the cardboard structures they made the first time they tried them out.
She glued her flowers all the way around the tiara, and then wound some lengths of green raffia around the flowers.
I think she was as excited as I was when she finished it. It was truly beautiful.

GRAND CONCOURSE, BRONX (WPIX)—The driver of a tour bus that crashed on I-95 killing more than a dozen people is scheduled to be tried on manslaughter charges beginning Thursday.
The crash was horrific and cost 15 people their lives when the World Wide Travel bus slammed into a guardrail,on March 12, 2011, tipped over on its side, slid across the roadway and had it's roof sheared off.
The accident happened just before day break as the bus was returning to Chinatown from a trip to the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.
The driver said a truck cut him off causing the accident. But investigators were not able to verify his story. Williams attorneys say he was alert and awake at the time of the accident and committed no crimes.
In June, the National Transportation safety board did not conclude the driver fell asleep but did say driver fatigue and a bus company that provided too little safety oversight contributed to the tragedy.
The bus was traveling 78 miles an hour in a 50 mph zone when it crashed, fell over and slid into a pole supporting a highway sign that sheared off the top. If the driver is found guilty he could face time in jail.
