Keeper Courtois set for Chelsea
Belgian club Genk have accepted an offer from Chelsea for teenage goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Genk announced, in a statement on their club website, they were left with no option other than to let Courtois leave when he did not appear for Saturday's friendly against Lyon.
Courtois, 19, is a 6ft 6ins goalkeeper who was first choice for Genk in Belgium's top division, the Jupiler League, last season. He also received a first call-up to the senior Belgium squad. Genk said Chelsea's offer for Courtois was "by far the largest bid" they have ever received for a player.

Crawfordville, Florida – At the September 9, 2010 Public Hearing, the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners approved the Fire Protection.The purpose of this assessment is to fund fire protection services benefiting property located within the unincorporated and incorporated areas of the County.
Previously, all residential property owners were assessed $65.00. Beginning October 1, 2010, the following newly adopted rate schedule will take affect and be reflected on the tax bill in November:
- Residential Property = $61.00 per dwelling unit
- Non-Residential Property = $0.05 per square foot
- Agricultural/Vacant Property = $0.14 per acre
In an effort to assist the "Low Income Persons" who meet the eligibility criteria with the financial burden created by the imposition of the Fire Protection Assessment, the Board included a Hardship Assistance Program.
In order to apply for hardship assistance under the FY 2010-11 Fire Rescue Services Special Assessment Program, the applicant must complete a Hardship Assistance Application and have it filed with the County Administrator's Office for consideration prior to October 1, 2010. To learn more about the eligibility criteria you may access the Hardship Assistance Application on the County website (www.mywakulla.com) or pick up a copy at the County Administration Office, 3093 Crawfordville Hwy.

Philadelphia Wings assistant coach Chris Flynn today announced his retirement due to work commitments and personal reasons. Flynn has served as the defensive coordinator since joining the Wings coaching staff in September 2001. He is also a 10-year veteran of the Wings (1990-00), including four Championship seasons (1990, '94, '95, '98). Flynn accumulated 154 points (66 goals and 88 assists) in 94 career games.
"The enthusiasm and fire that Chris brought to the field as a player were the qualities that made him a good coach," said Wings' General Manager Marty O'Neill. "We wish him the best of luck in all of his endeavors and feel fortunate that he will remain involved in the organization as an alumni."
Flynn maintains a full-time position as a broker with Binswanger, a commercial real-estate firm, located in Philadelphia, PA. He and his wife, Katie, reside with their two children in West Chester, PA.
Season tickets are on sale now for the 2004 Wings season. Reserve the best seats in the house before they fly away by calling 215-389-WINGS (9464).

There's not much to say about this. Well, apart from processing the LOL-inducing title. Jenny looks stunning as usual — rocking a white hot outfit and slick ponytail. She also appears to be standing on a yacht, which makes sense given that the Jesse Terrero-directed was shot in Miami. It should be noted that the song also features French Montana, which means urban J.Lo is here to stay.

2012 IIHF World Championship: Norwegians down Latvia
STOCKHOLM – Norway got a leg up in the quest for what'll likely be the Stockholm group's final playoff berth, defeating Latvia 3-0 in Saturday's early game. Goalie Lars Haugen posted the shutout and Jonas Holøs scored the eventual winner in the first period.
Andreas Martinsen and Patrick Thoresen also tallied for Norway, which earned its second consecutive regulation win and now has seven points. Latvia remains at six points.
"This was a huge game," said Martinsen. "After the win against Italy we want to go to the quarter-final, and we knew this would be a big game to get there."
It was Haugen's first shutout of this tournament and second all-time at the IIHF World Championships. He bested Latvian starter Edgars Masalskis, with Norway outshooting Latvia 30-25.
Neither team has an easy road in its remaining two round-robin games. Latvia faces Denmark (Monday) and Sweden (Tuesday), while Norway has Germany (Sunday) and Denmark (Tuesday).
"We have to have a good meal, good sleep and be ready to play the next two games," said Latvia's Kaspars Daugavins. "There's no way back now. If we lose one we don't have a chance, if we win both we might have a chance."
The result deviated from a history of Latvian dominance over Norway at the IIHF World Championship. Prior to this game, Latvia had won seven out of eight encounters, its only defeat coming in Russia 2007 (a 7-4 Norwegian triumph).
The Norwegians are hoping for their third top-eight finish since 2008, while Latvia last appeared in the quarter-finals in 2009.
It was a hard-working, disciplined effort by Norway, frustrating the Latvians at every turn.
"We were making bad passes and could not get out of our end," said Daugavins. "Add to that some bad bounces, and it was almost impossible to get anything going. Hands down they were better than us today."
After more than 12 minutes of spirited but scoreless play, the Latvians thought they'd opened the scoring when Gints Meija raced down the right side and zinged one off Haugen's right post. But video review clearly showed the puck did not enter the net.
Tempers flared and Norway's Marius Holtet and Latvia's Marius Saulietis were penalized for a wrestling match near the benches, leading to a 4-on-4 situation.
After that sequence, the Norwegians drew first blood 15 seconds later. It was a weird goal. Holøs raced into the Latvian zone with the puck, and Latvian defenceman Rodrigo Lavins tried to sweep the puck away but ended up bobbling it off Holøs and into his own net.
Latvian enjoyed an extended man advantage, including a 4-on-3, but couldn't solve Haugen. A furious even-strength assault saw the puck get behind the Norwegian netminder, but it was swept away in time. Norway came close as well on a late-period power play with Andris Dzerins in the box.
At 5:54 of the second period, Norway grabbed a 2-0 lead. Mats Trygg hammered a slapshot from the right wall that tipped in front and eluded a screened Masalskis. Martinsen got the goal by going to the front of the net.
"I won the puck in the corner, and saw Trygg on the blueline," said Martinsen. "I know he has a great shot. I went to the net, and it hit my skate and went in."
With 1:17 left in the middle frame, Norway went up 3-0 as Thoresen capitalized on an Oskars Cibulskis turnover near the hash marks and scored with a quick blocker-side shot.
It was not a good time for supporters of the maroon-and-white squad. Latvia's Mikelis Redlihs got a puck in the face and went off bleeding. Then Daugavins used his stick on Norwegian captain Ole-Kristian Tollefsen at the horn and was assessed a slashing minor.
The Norwegians nearly went up by four early in the third period when Holøs skated in and fired a shot that deflected off both Latvian goalposts.
Latvia got a late opportunity to spoil Haugen's shutout when Per-Åge Skrøder hauled down Meija in the Norwegian zone, but they couldn't convert with the man advantage.
The dying seconds saw a contingent of Norwegian fans jubilantly singing behind Haugen's net, while Latvian drums echoed without their usual fervor. When the game ended, the Norwegians skated over to salute their fans with their sticks.
"It was a real complete effort," said Norway's Mads Hansen. "We were talking about it on the bench that this was our best game in a long time."

Israel will not discuss a peace involving the concession of any piece of territory. The neighboring states do not deserve an inch of Israel's land. . . . We are ready for exchange for peace.
It has been said that God's gift is also indescribable because of the grace by which it is given. God, who is rich in mercy, gave the world the gift of His dear Son while we were at enmity with Him. Paul says 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us' (Rom. 58). Therefore, in Him we are freely given all things redemption, forgiveness of sins, righteousness, peace, hope, wisdom and knowledge.
It is better we disintegrate in peace and not in pieces.
It is difficult for intellect, technology, and peace to coexist. Not because peace is static where the other two require constant stimulation. Peace can embrace change. It is because we live in a world where intellect and technology compete for power. And peace does not allow for inequality or competition.
It is essential to know that to be a happy person, a happy family, a happy society, it is very crucial to have a good heart, that is very crucial. World peach must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion.
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.
It is not our affluence, or our plumbing, or our clogged freeways that grip the imagination of others. Rather, it is the values upon which our system is built. These values imply our adherence not only to liberty and individual freedom, but also to international peace, law and order, and constructive social purpose. When we depart from these values, we do so at our peril.
It is within the families themselves where peace can begin.
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.
– Anne Frank, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, July 15, 1944
Jack of all trades, master of none Jacking up WISDOM with everyone That was stolen from a little old man Because he thinks everyone's dumb. He's a Doctor and a Faith Healer He's a Teacher and a Cheater He's a PREACHER and a Sinner He's a Musician and a Politician He's a Judge with a grudge He is trying to be an Artist But nobody was pleased. Jack of all trades Speaking highly of his trades But not even a master of one. Records, showed none... A COPY and PASTE TEACHER, And a PAINTLESS PAINTER. Trying to be a motivator, But, avoids his own mirror. Advice foods and health facts, But who's overweight and fat. Words of pretense, But a bad influence. Tried to create more, But achieve worse than before. Kindness is his devotion, But it's the opposite of his actions. Love and peace as problem solutions, But shows love of gun collections. Your virtue of righteousness, Are just a paradox, it is worthless. You're no mystery, But just plain MISERY. Jack of all trades, For sure master of NONE.
Johnson himself turned out to be so many different characters he could have populated all of War and Peace and still had a few people left over.
Justice does not come from the outside. It comes from inner peace.
Knowing the universe will never deliver more than one can handle brings peace to even the strongest of minds.
Knowledge, without common sense," says Lee, is "folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death." But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.
Let him who desires peace prepare for war.
Let tears flow of their own accord: their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world!
Let's drink to the spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell, and let's drink to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again.
Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where these is hatred, let me sow love.

The ravioli fared much better. Who would argue with anything stuffed with white truffles? Of course, truffles can be tricky. Their intense flavor should be savored only in small amounts -- indeed, there wasn't much inside these four pillowy ravioli covered smoothly in a cream sauce with just the right touch of salt and garlic. Five dollars per ravioli?
As is so often the case in modern restaurants, desserts are off-the-rack. Tramonti produces only a cannoli ($6) on site. But Pastry Chef Alex Olano can breathe easily; the cannoli lives up to the rest of the meal. The crust was crisp and not overly fried, and the harmonic convergence of sugar, cinnamon, and ricotta was Bach-like.
Pedigree goes only so far. Though Tramonti has been birthed by a successful parent, a new restaurant opens with only a temporary blessing.
119 E. Atlantic Ave.
Delray Beach, FL 33444
Category: Restaurant > Italian
Region: Delray Beach
Despite these high stakes, Tramonti has succeeded at being many local diners' favorite night out on an avenue that is fast becoming what Ocean Drive used to be and Las Olas wishes it were. In the perish-or-die world of Atlantic Avenue restaurants, this achievement is no mean feast.

Can't resist that cool cocktail/glass o'wine at 6:30pm with hubby each night before dinner. Sensing a pattern here, I will try fasting through breakfast and move onward to lunch on next DD.
Went to pantry for Dreamfields last night and found bugs in 3 boxes and had to toss :cry: but had some *bug-free* Fiber Gourmet pasta instead--fewer calories but more carbs. Only ate 2 ounces. Seemed like more, but I did weigh it so I know it was 2 ounces.

1-2 dirty 'tinis
1975 calories, 60 carbs thereabouts
UP day but I have a doctor's appointment at 1:30 so I'm not trying to be heavier than I should be on the scale. So far... a fiber one bar - after I see the doctor... I'm eating something - maybe a sub or something.

-1 Amish cinnamon roll
B: Coffee (9)
L: Egg white sandwich w/FF cheese (155)

Well - LOL - all I see is a red X cuz I am at work.
What's the brand? :D
B - Coffee w/cream
L - YoCheese Pudding
S - Chicken broth, coffee w/cream, maybe another OMM.
You can get it at Walmart. I can also recommend the Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe bars. These are great on a DD, eaten slowly with a cup of coffee or tea. You can buy them in boxes, though some places might sell by the bar.

From custom design to stone fabrication to installation, our artisans and craftsmen collectively have over 150 years of experience in the dimensional stone business. Our mission is simple: we're committed to exceptional quality, competitive prices, and, above all, customer satisfaction.
Efficiency is Our Business
The process of building a single home, a neighborhood, or a community involves the cooperation and coordination of many moving parts. At Precision Stoneworks, we know that stone fabrication and installation is just one piece of the puzzle. We understand the importance deadlines, and we pride ourselves in producing the highest quality work at competitive prices. Whether preparing detailed templates or performing the installation, our veteran team makes efficiency their number one priority.
Not All Stone Fabricators Are Equal
In the current economic climate, many stone fabricators are taking shortcuts to cut costs and turn a greater profit. At Precision Stoneworks, we've taken a different approach. Instead of cutting corners or passing costs on to our customers, we responded to the economic downturn by directing our efforts to expanding our capabilities. We increased our capacity to accommodate larger scale projects and shifted our focus to top grade residential, commercial, and professional remodeling projects. While some of our regional and local counterparts have had to close their doors in recent years, we are proud to report growth and success in our business.
What Sets Precision Stoneworks Apart from the Rest:
Sealed Tops and Overhangs
Some fabricators may not seal their slabs or may charge an additional fee for sealing. Precision Stoneworks seals all tops and even the undersides of overhangs to maximize appearance and performance over the long term.
Fewer Seams
We take all steps to ensure that any given install is accomplished with the minimum number of seams. While this may make it more challenging and expensive for us, we believe this results in a superior look and appearance when the project is done. For the absolute best color matching we also never marry remnants with new slabs to help minimize our cost as many granite fabricators may do.
Premium Grade Slabs Only
Granite importers, distributors and wholesalers typically offer granite slabs in three graded quality tiers: Premium, Standard, and Commercial. The Premium grade always contains the fewest blemishes, repairs and fills and has the best color consistency throughout the slab. For the best counters and vanities, Precision Stoneworks uses almost exclusively Premium grade slabs with only rare and careful exceptions.
Granite Material Priced by the Foot, not the Slab
Some fabricators may require the customer to absorb the entire cost of each slab of granite (and still insist on on keeping any remnants!). This can lead to extra and unnecessary cost to the customer (especially for small jobs) and/or leave the customer feeling pressured to finish multiple rooms in the same color of granite when they might not have otherwise.
Precision Stoneworks uses a careful pricing model that allows us to present the customer with a reasonable, upfront cost that accounts for the "yield" of a slab but doesn't burden the customer unfairly with excess cost, unused material, or unwanted commitments. You pay only for the material you need.
Polished Overhang Undersides
Precision Stoneworks even polishes the undersides of overhangs that can be seen or touched in everyday use. This gives countertops and vanities that look good and feel good to the touch — even from underneath.
Reinforced Spans and Overhangs
We reinforce overhangs, thin areas like the front of sink cutouts, and unsupported areas like appliance spans with steel and/or fiberglass inserts. We cut a channel into the underside of the granite, insert the reinforcing rods, and permanently seal it in place with epoxy.
The result is granite countertops and vanities that are among the strongest in the industry that have minimal chance of cracking or breaking even with heavy use.
Though few fabricators take such extra steps, Precision Stoneworks takes every step possible to ensure that your granite will last a lifetime.
Skilled, Experienced Installers Only
Some granite fabricators and installers choose to cut costs by using inexpensive labor to install their countertops and vanities.
At present, Precision Stoneworks doesn't use any installer with anything less than 5 years of experience. We're pleased to enjoy a reputation for knowledge, skill and experience; that reputation was not earned by accident.

Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years: Selections from the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
By Hamish BowlesBullfinch Press, 198 pages, $50.00
In America we have a tradition of sending curious and entertaining phenomena—Tutankhamen's treasures, the Ice Capades—on national tours, so that everyone can get a look-see. Currently making the rounds are Jackie Kennedy's clothes. That the tour's venues include some of our nation's most highly regarded art museums (its Washington port of call is not the Smithsonian, which houses a collection of First Ladies' inaugural gowns, but rather the Corcoran Gallery of Art) seems to have created a measure of anxiety in certain of its organizers, who have produced a catalogue full of serious essays intended, one can't help suspecting, to lend substance to the proceedings.
Philippe de Montebello, the director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, kicks things off, and he's all business. The collaboration between his institution and the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum (which owns the clothes) has resulted in "a fruitful sharing of methodologies and interpretations." Caroline Kennedy contributes a characteristically gracious letter, one that perfectly embodies her mother's dictum of giving the press "minimum information ... with maximum politeness," and Arthur Schlesinger Jr. reports for duty uncomplainingly, firing up his computer and punching out several thousand words on "Jacqueline Kennedy in the White House." Next up ought to be Letitia Baldrige, but she is curiously absent, perhaps because she recently pawed the same ground in In the Kennedy Style. In her stead we get a not unappealing understudy, Rachel Lambert Mellon, the former First Lady's friend (she redesigned the White House Rose Garden for the Kennedys), who sweetly stamps her foot over the many "made-up, untrue fantasies" that have tarnished her patron's legend. The final hurdle is "Defining Style," by Hamish Bowles (he seems to think that Jackie's greatest adversary was perhaps not Lee Harvey Oswald but rather Mamie Eisenhower, who spent her tenure as First Lady stinking up the White House with her tiki sofas and potted succulents and "department-store furnishings"), and then—at last!—we're on to the clothes. They're disappointing.
Displayed on limbless mannequins, photographed against a gray background under clinical lighting, they have an embalmed quality. Although the word most commonly associated with Jackie Kennedy's sense of style is "timeless," the clothes seem anything but; they suggest several decades' hibernation in the cedar chest of a fashionable granny. A few pieces transcend their unforgiving presentation. A black Chanel suit (lined, in the customary manner, with the same fabric used for its blouse, in this case dot-embroidered ivory silk satin) captured my immediate attention—but not because of the lesson Montebello hopes it might impart on "an aesthetic response to the highly public and ceremonial role of first lady." Rather, because it's smashing, something I'd like to have in my closet for a fancy lunch out. The evening gowns look best, particularly those by Oleg Cassini: long, sleeveless columns of uninterrupted color. But many of the clothes look fusty, even—how can this be?—dowdy. There's a Givenchy dress and overblouse in gray wool jersey that, the catalogue informs us, achieves an "effect of absolute simplicity." Truer words were never written; it looks like something a nun or a prison matron might wear. The tidy suits and coats, constructed of nubby wool, look nice but unremarkable, more like the typical stewardess uniforms of the day than like couture. The hats, floating jauntily in midair like the Invisible Man's telltale fedora, look ridiculous.
Ultimately, the effect of the collection is dispiriting. For all that we have been instructed to regard this exhibit as an opportunity to view "the originality and workmanship of some of the best designers of the day," what we hope these clothes will do is perform a powerful act of evocation, and the person we want them to evoke is not Cassini or Chanel but, of course, Jackie herself. Her clothes manage to suggest less than nothing about her.
No matter, because each of the bloodless specimen photographs is accompanied by pictures of Jackie actually wearing the clothes, and—my God—she looks sensational. Every piece is transformed. The Oleg Cassini suits, whose dimensions (enormous buttons, huge pockets) make them look slightly childish on the mannequins, assume the most sophisticated proportions when set in the context of vast tarmacs and high-ceilinged staterooms. (Cassini was once a Hollywood costume designer, and he brought to his couture a cinematic sensibility that was perfectly in sync with the Kennedy master plan, in which photographs of the beautifully dressed family at work and play had been regularly offered to the public since the days of Joe Jr.'s infancy.) In a photograph of Inauguration Day, Lady Bird Johnson's hat, with its net veil, looks positively geriatric next to Jackie's cream-colored semi-crown. (Clutching her mink, grizzled and glowering, poor Lady Bird looks like a troll beside her pretty young companion—but, of course, her highway beautification campaign would eventually do more to improve the aesthetic dimensions of American lives than all of Jackie's Chippendale highboys and "tastefully designed vitrines" and glittering nights at the White House put together.) Even the prison matron's dress, perfectly accessorized with a large brooch and Richard Nixon, is a knockout.
I will confess that when it comes to looking at pictures of the Kennedys, I fall into a kind of stupor, and everything I know about the bad marriage and the political misdeeds (of the Cuban missile crisis, Christopher Hitchens is said to have remarked that like many people, he would never forget where he was and what he was doing when President Kennedy tried to kill him) flies out of my head, the way the times table used to the moment the test paper was set down on my desk. There's a full-page photograph in the catalogue of the couple and their daughter in pre-White House days. It's early morning; mother and child are dressed for a photo op, father is dressed for the Senate, and they're all standing at the open door of the Georgetown house. The light in the street is intense, the foyer shadowed and inviting. The editors of the catalogue want my attention focused on Jackie's asparagus jersey suit, but my attention is not focused on Jackie's asparagus jersey suit; it's riveted on the way the baby is reaching for her father and her parents' shadows are falling on the gleaming floor. I've read chapter and verse about the President and his women, but show me a picture of Jack and Jackie in a convertible, dressed to the nines, her hair blowing loose in the wind and her husband reaching across to lift a strand of it behind her ear, and I'm sunk. It is impossible for me to look at these pictures and not impose on them the exact sort of narrative that inspired the family to make themselves so available to photographers in the first place.

… It's Got a Way to Go
Catholic in the Public Square
… It's Got a Way to Go
Some dimwit, a few weeks back, posted about "the declining and dying Catholic church." I felt in the mood to have a little fun, so I said I agreed with him. It's been going downhill for two thousand years now, and all it's got to show for itself is more than a billion members… dreadful decline, indeed.
"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." — Mark Twain, in a slightly different context.
It's got a long way to go, I think, before it reaches a state of non-existence.
Numerically, Catholics are not in decline worldwide. In the decaying cultures of the northern hemisphere, we are in decline, but we are growing in the south. I think it was Phillip Jenkins who notes that a century from now, the typical Christian will be an African woman. What's true, however, is that we are just keeping pace with world population. We've been about 18% of the population for a generation or more.
That's if we don't assume that in a century or two the global northern libertine won't have, one,contracepted and aborted himself nearly out of existence, and, two, made the criminalities and contradictions and absurdities of his stance so viciously obvious that even people born, raised and propagandized in that tradition won't abandon in their millions.
God is making a comeback. Hopefully the American church can take a lesson or two from this.
You know this how?
Because He always is. It's a constant of our history
Contrast this with weekly Mass attendance and attitudes towards just about every social and moral issue. A bit of tension there.
Let me tell you something that, as a I historian, I can say with certainty; the Church has ALWAYS been in crisis. There has never been a time in all church history in which devoted priests and laymen did not feel like they were fighting with their backs to the wall. I imagine that most historians would say that the height of spiritual and political influence for the Catholic Church was in the time of Innocent III, on the cusp of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Now think about this: when Pope Innocent was finally asked to adjudicated between Francis of Assisi's new beggar movement and its many opponents, he had a strange dream where he saw the whole Church as a crumbling building about to collapse, and the little preacher from Assisi holding it up on his own. That was the image of the Church that the subconscious of the mightiest of all Popes presented to him – a crumbling ruin held up by a beggar. Think about it.
I was reading the other day (in the National Catholic Reporter of all places) that Mass attendance and Confessions are on the upswing. Fabio's point is, however, true: the Church is always on the verge of collapse; the obituary has been written for 2000 years. Our trust is in the Risen Christ, not in our humanity.

The Eyes Have It: Tips for Drawing Realistic Eyes
While we've already talked about how to draw facial features, the eye is probably the most challenging facial feature to draw for a variety of reasons. They are the first feature we notice about someone when we meet them. Almost all of our non-verbal communication is through eye contact. Eyes reveal far more about a person than, say, the nose or ears. There is a reason they are called "the windows of the soul." For all these reasons, it can be quite frustrating getting them just right, so here's a few tips to make drawing realistic eyes a bit easier.
Many of us learned a simple visual formula for drawing eyes as children. For years the eyes I drew looked something like a football with two circles inside for the iris and pupil.
Of course, no one's eye really looks like that. The most important thing to remember about drawing realistic eyes is to draw what you see, not what you know. Every person's eye is different and no visual formula, even if it's more sophisticated than the one above, can substitute for the real thing. That said, there are a few things you'll notice most eyes have in common.
An eye is asymmetrical.
Rather than tapering smoothly to a point on either end, an eye has subtle differences in the shapes of the top and bottom eyelids.
Notice above that the top eyelid is flatter along much of its length than the bottom, except where it curves downward to meet the tear duct on the left. The bottom lid is curved along most of its length, with the most pronounced curve being where it sweeps up to meet the top eyelid on the right. This brings me to our next observation
The human eye is three-dimensional.
Your eyeball is a sphere, but most of it is concealed by your eyelids. Notice above how the eyelids look as though they are wrapping around that spherical shape. This is even more evident in profile view.
The iris is almost never completely visible.
Unless the person you are drawing is surprised, most of the time the iris will be covered partially by the top eyelid, as seen in both examples above, and in some cases both the top and bottom eyelids will cover some of the iris, as in when your subject is squinting or sleepy.
The top eyelid casts a shadow on the eyeball.
Because the top lid projects out a little further than the eyeball itself, and also in part because it has the thicker set of eyelashes, it casts a shadow along the top of the eyeball in most lighting situations. This can be easily depicted simply by making the line of the top eyelid thicker than the bottom..
However, the top eyelid receives more light than the bottom.
The best way to draw a realistic eye is to use value to suggest volume. I've used gray to show how value can do this for the line drawing below, but the same effect can be achieved with other kinds of mark-making as well.
Assuming an overhead light source, the underside of the brow overhangs the eye and is therefore in shadow. The upper eyelid faces upward, so it receives light, and it also casts a shadow on the uppermost portion of the eyeball. The eyeball itself is curved, so the bottom receives less light than the top. The bottom eyelid faces down, and receives little light, and also cast a shadow on the portion of the face directly beneath it.
It's important to remember that every eye is different. Some people have heavy eyelids or heavy brows, some almost no eyelids or brow at all. Thinking about how value suggests three-dimensionality can help you go a long way toward drawing realistic eyes.

news you can booze
Posted by Jennifer Sokolowski on August 23, 2011 01:04 PM
Madonna may have just turned 53, but she's still hanging out with the club kids.
The Mother of Reinvention has signed on with Smirnoff vodka in a global deal that will kick off with a dance contest for the brand's Nightlife Exchange Project. The project is a massive social media effort that is aiming to get 10 million people across 50 countries to exchange their "nightlife stories" on Smirnoff's Facebook page, culminating in an event on Nov. 12 in which Smirnoff will throw 50 parties simultaneously around the globe.
Last year, as part of the project, London and Miami swapped parties, with British food and music featured in Miami, while Smirnoff created a beach at an indoor London venue to represent South Beach.
As part of the campaign, Madonna is offering a spot on her next tour for one lucky dancer. Hopefuls have until Oct. 10 to submit a 60-second video to Smirnoff's website, and the winner will be chosen at a dance-off between ten finalists at one of the Nov. 12 Nightlife Exchange Project parties.
While Madonna has been adept at keeping up with the times musically since she came on the scene in the early '80s, her social media presence has been rather conservative: she has 6 million Facebook fans, but her Facebook interaction with fans is limited, and she's not on Twitter at all. Her part in the Smirnoff campaign could help create a higher profile for her in the social media sphere, though she'll have quite a ways to go to match Lady Gaga's social media pull (42 million Facebook fans).

Madonna doesn't need Twitter! She works too hard to spend time doing that. What's the point? Gaga has 46 million followers - yeah & she reads every tweet! Joke! Her followers are just a number! Who cares about quantity, it's quality that counts!

While Felipe Massa is looking to rebound after his German disappointment, Valtteri Bottas wants his fourth top-three result...
Felipe Massa: "Hungary is a track where a good power unit is a little less important. Aerodynamics play a higher part and getting good downforce for the corners is vital. We have worked hard to get the car ready for this type of circuit and if that has all worked we should still be competitive. I hope to be able to get lots more points this weekend."
Valtteri Bottas: "Budapest is the last race before the summer break. We are aiming for a good result there so we head into the holidays with a good feeling. We know it's not the best circuit for our car but we are working on getting more grip in the corners and we have some upgrades that should help as well. Qualifying is very important as it's not an easy track to overtake at; normally the race is hot as well so tyre degradation will be high. A good few practice sessions should help us get the set-up right. There are always a few fans from Finland, it's almost like a Finnish GP so I hope to pay the fans back with a good result."
