I have looked around to see if I can see anything that looks wrong. I did find a couple of bag worms. Could they cause this or am I looking at something different? |

Probably from lack of water. Did you keep it watered last season? You had a very hot and dry summer. |

PG&E says 1,200 people are still without power Sunday night after a power line fell just south of the Bob Jones Trail.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. on Avila Beach Drive and Ontario Road.
Officials say a small vegetation fire started, and crews had to wait to put out that fire until PG&E arrived shortly before 7:30 p.m.
PG&E says about 1,200 customers are affected.
Avila Beach Drive is closed near the Bob Jones Trail.
They do not know when power will be restored or what caused the line to fall.

In this video, you'll see how to make a tremendous beer batter for frying fish. Garlic powder and paprika spice up this simple batter. The fish fries up light and crispy and beautifully golden brown. You'll also see how to avoid 'backsplash' when frying the pieces of battered cod in hot oil. Watch the video, then get Linda's top-rated recipe for Beer Batter Fish Made Great. Serve with plenty of tartar sauce or malt vinegar. See more fish videos >>
This is a terrible way to make beer batter fish. The batter does not stick to the fish. I did a sample because of one of the reviews said the same thing. I was able to save it by adding one egg to give the batter to act as a glue and it worked.
Do we really need to see you salt and pepper every single piece of fish? Just sayin'
Went fishing in the marshes of Jacksonville,FL. My son caught a 13lbs Red Fish. This fish fed 9 people with leftovers. I used this receipt and everyone loved it. Its very light and does not over power the fish. I dumped to much paprika in the mix and it made the fish to dark. So I recommend not to use to much Paprika. I used a lime Budweiser and it tasted great. I also recommend dusting the fish with flour first and then dipping in the batter. I am sending this receipt to my brother for future catches. Give it a try and you'll love it.

Hi Ken, Thank you for your response. Yes I agree, could be from hail. Also yes ,good drainage in pot. I had to put the acorn squash in a large pot due to numerous wild cats laying on everything in my garden! They've made themselves a home here. I do have lots of Canna this year. My favorite flower to be sure. Thanks again for the help. Lin |

New Documentary On Arabic Music To Begin Airing In November Published September 23, 2008 Put together by Miles Copeland, Dissonance And Harmony is a documentary that explores the bridging of the gap between Eastern and Western music.
Can the answer to peace and understanding between the West and Middle East be found in music? Dissonance And Harmony: Arabic Music Goes West is a new documentary about forging ties between the West and Middle East through contemporary music that will air nationally on PBS on November 2. Directed and produced by Jonathan Brandeis, the 60-minute film follows legendary music impresario Miles Copeland as he visits different countries in the Middle East and meets with musicians, singers  and producers who discuss their feelings about the West, and how the political situations and wars in their countries have shaped their music and careers. Copeland then brings them to the U.S. to collaborate with high-profile Western artists and present their music to U.S. audiences.
Produced by WETA, the flagship Washington, D.C., PBS station, as part of the America At A Crossroads series, Dissonance And Harmony: Arabic Music Goes West will air nationally in the U.S. on PBS on November 2 at 10 p.m. (check local listings). It will also air at various times in September throughout the Middle East.
"The impetus for this project was to show how the negative stereotypes and misconceptions that Westerners and Middle Easterners have of each other, particularly post-9/11, can be overcome through the common ground we share in music," said Copeland. "I am very excited that people in the Middle East and America will have a chance to see it around the same time and hopefully gain an understanding of the other's culture that they may not have had before."
Copeland, who has managed The Police and Sting, developed an interest in Arabic music and culture while growing up in the Middle East, where his father worked for the CIA.
Dissonance And Harmony: Arabic Music Goes West focuses on five Middle Eastern artists who represent a wide range of musical genres. They include:

I have repeatedly asked to combine my 2 capital one cards into 1 card so that i could have one card with a 1500 limit versus 2 with 750 limit for a year now, since i have not received a CLI except for the initial extra 250 they give you after 3 months of opening the accounts in over 4 years. I have had my 2 accounts for almost 5 years now, never late, good standings , I use them and always pay well over min. payment which keeps them with low balances. My credit has drastically improved since the date of opening the accounts and it boggles my mind how I can't at least get 1000 CL on at least one! I have spoken to numerous supervisors, in more departments then I can remember and got nowhere. At the time of 1st request to merge cards since they denied my credit limit increase on both cards I had 717 experian credit score.
I feel stuck because I dont want to close them and have my credit card utilization go up and I like having them for emergencies. They are not a company to grow with...what you get is what you stay with and there is no changing it. It makes me so mad because now my HSBC discover is now cap 1 so there goes hope for that card! So frustrating...
i wish you luck, if you are able to merge your accounts pleass please PM with how you did it!

bundle theory
bundle theory
Theory advanced by David Hume to the effect that the mind is merely a bundle of perceptions without deeper unity or cohesion, related only by resemblance, succession, and causation. Hume's well-argued denial of a substantial or unified self precipitated a philosophical crisis from which Immanuel Kant sought to rescue Western philosophy.

No matter how good your new board is, if you don't know how to use it properly you'll never enjoy the experience to its fullest. Also, a sound knowledge of the ocean environment and how to recognize shifts in the surrounding weather patterns is crucial to ensure that you don't become another tragic statistic. If you've ever wanted to be at one with the wave, now is a great time to learn to surf by joining on of the many surf schools available around Australia. The lessons learned will not only help you get up and away more effectively, you will also learn a greater appreciation of the power of the sea and how to recognize what to do in various situations. Surfing Australia (www.surfingaustralia.com) provides information on your nearest surfing school in each state or you can visit your local surf lifesaving club for more information on local schools.
Although not considered on par with fibreglass boards when it comes to performance on the wave, a soft-top board can be great fun to learn on while still being able satisfy surfers as they become more experienced. The soft-top was designed to fill the gap between sponge boards or coolites (which offer safety but lack performance) and fibreglass boards (which offer performance with little safety and poor durability).
Learning how to co exist out in the surf can often be as important as learning to stand up on a surfboard, with several 'codes' to adhere to if you want to ensure a trouble free day at the beach. Rules such as giving way to the person on your inside (on your left if you are going right on a wave and your right if you are going left) will keep potential conflict to a minimum. Also, if the person has 'My Brother's Keeper' tattooed across his chest, let him have the wave no matter what the circumstance...

Breakfast Topic: What's the next big change? {WoW}
Aug 23rd 2011 2:07PM There's only one thing I want to see. The same thing I've wanted to see since Cataclysm ruined the game for me, what is it?
Simple - Pre-Cataclysm servers, allowing me to play the game I fell in love with, the game I purchased, subscribed to, and devoted several years of my life to. Not the current incarnation with it's dumbed-down mechanics, simplified questing, and emphasis on instant gratification, rather than letting us put some actual effort into things in order to get the rewards.
People will doubtless accuse me of failing to move forward, and wallowing in nostalgia. Actually I have no problem at all with moving forward and creating new content. The more new content the better in fact! What I do have an issue with is the overwriting of existing content. It's like they snatched my favourite book out of my hands, forcibly wrote over the existing text, leaving it a barely-recognisable skeleton of it's former self.. then handed it back to me, telling me that I was no longer allowed to read the original novel. In short, I'm not happy at all, and haven't been for some time.
As far as I'm concerned Cataclysm destroyed a game I loved. It killed it stone-dead, which is why I'm allowing my account to expire and not renewing it. Maybe I'll have a re-think in the unlikely event of them ever releasing a pre-Cataclysm server.
Drama Mamas: Vent troubles vs. That Guy {WoW}
Mar 28th 2011 7:51AM Very disturbed by Lisa's response to VT.
Lisa - if you are going to contribute to an advice column, irrespective of your agreement or otherwise with those seeking your advice - it helps to have at least some kind of human empathy with that person. You have shown almost none.
Whilst kicking people while they are down might seem justified from the perspective of a hard-nosed Sergean Major seeking to 'toughen up' fledgeling recruits, it has little place (or justification) within an advice column.
I can only assume that your response was some strange 'tough love' attempt to 'shock' VT into realising his mistakes, and avoiding similar circumstances in the future; however in reality this kind of tactic rarely (if ever) works. It frankly amazes me that I need to resort to such elementary concepts as positive vs negative reinforcement, when the success of the former, and failure of the latter as a motivational tactic is so well known.
I am stunned by your (apparent) support of the abusive and public dressing down that VT received from the Raid Leader. Even if VT was wrong on 100% of all counts, even if he acted as the most arrogant, self-entitled brat imaginable (and we have zero evidence to suggest that this was the case) there is still absolutely no excuse for this verbal abuse from a guild officer. Verbal abuse carried out in public channels pushes the problem beyond the realm of credibility.
Rather than 'man up and apologise' to this Raid Leader, as you suggested (you may as well have told VT to lower his pants and bend over in front of the RL) I would be not only questioning the RL's fitness to lead a raid, but his overall fitness for guild membership.
I asure you that if I was the GM of that guild the RL would be facing some very serious questions right now.
Spiritual Guidance: The ups and downs of the 4.0.1 shadow priest {WoW}
Oct 21st 2010 6:11AM To the person who said "what does it matter what your DPS is on trash"?
Unfortunately, for many PuG leaders, trash DPS is very important, and you'll be judged on your performance, and no amount of excuses about how your AOE was nerfed, or how Shadow Priest damage has a slow ramp-up time will excuse you.
I've been kicked from exactly two Heroics so far since the patch, on my Shadow Priest. She's modestly geared in a mix of T9 and T10 pieces, a few bits from Icecrown 5-mans, and two crappy trinkets
On single target mobs (such as bosses) I can generally do around 5k DPS, sometimes more, and often topping meters. I personally believe that 5k DPS is overpowered for a standard Wrath Heroic.
However on trash I lag behind, and if there's some uber-geared DPS in the group that can nuke down trash in nanoseconds (like the KIngslayer-titled DPS warrior we had in my last Gundrak who remained at a steady 9k throughout the entire run) I just don't have time to do much before the fight is over, and my numbers looks very shoddy.
Was booted from POS on Monday after the third trash pull, which was all downed in around 7 seconds flat... because "ur DPS sucks lol" (I was reading at around 2.8k on Recount, and the Mage was reading at 7k).
Was kicked again from HoS last night before we got to the first boss and told to "come back when you L2P". Once again, I was reading at around 3k, when some Boomkin in the group was wrecking the meters with a solid 7k dps.
If these people ahd given me a chance to actually do some sustained DPS and fight a boss, they might have realised that I have a lot to offer a group, and can truly put out some decent numbers.. but this poor performance on trash is not giving me the chance, sadly.
Miserable Shadow Priest.
Call for Submissions: Patch 4.0.1 reactions {WoW}
Oct 15th 2010 8:20AM Is there anyone that can help me with a query pertaining to Shadow Priests? I'd post on the official WoWEU forums, Priest section - however previous experience has taught me well that doing so just results in a bunch of petulant children telling me that I suck.. so I avoid them like the plague.
Basically, I'm a L80 none-raiding Shadow Priest, who, prior to 4.1 was in full T9 gear, other badge gear plus a few ICC 5 man bits and bobs.
I could do around 3.5k DPS in 5 mans, or on dummys if I really tried. I accepted that this was below-par, as other SPriests who made forum posts were constantly going on about how they easily did 11-17k DPS on dummys, self buffed. I simply assume that they are considerably more skilled than I am, and also are absolutely dripping with 'best in slot' items.
Now, to get to the point. Before 4.1 hit, I was farming Kurenei rep, killing Ogres in Nagrand. My method was simply to put Devouring Plague on an Ogre, then use Shadow Word Death = dead Ogre.
I finally got 4.1 working on Thursday evening, and logged in, spent a lot of time assigning talents, checking gems, reforging and stuff, (using the excellent guide written by Fox Van Allen earlier in the week). and practicing the new stuff on a dummy. I also went to Dalaran and bought the T10 robe and gloves, as I now had a load of these new marks in my currency tab. Back to the dummy and I could now get well in excess of 4k DPS, which was nice. Did some Heroics, and found that I did absolutely crap on trash, as my attempts to single target them were useless - the Mage in our group had them down in nanoseconds before my DOTs had even a chance to do anything, but I did well on the bosses.
Logged in this morning, and went back to the Ogres. Only now, my attempts at the same spells - Devouring Plague, then Shadow Word death resulted not in a dead Ogre, but a damaged one, still very much alive.
So - what's happening? I heard that there were some stealth nerfs to SWD, but is it so heavily nerfed that it's now worse that pre-4.1? Remember I'm now upgraded to two pieces of T10, fully gemmed and enchanted.
If this is the case, what the heck do I do on trash now? Mind Sear seems to be next to useless, and I'm genuinely unsure how to play in 5-mans in anything other than boss fights.
Breakfast Topic: The best class choice for new players {WoW}
Aug 13th 2010 6:37AM I finally managed to talk my wife into giving WoW a try in early May. I was a bit worried about how she might react toward other players giving her a hard time in dungeons, and so I gave her standard old lecture about the 'idiots you meet in this game', explained to her that a lot of them were just mouthy children, and that if it happened, 'just imagine them all as daft kids having a tantrum'. I guess I'm a bit protective toward her, and it's probably not really required.. but that's husbands for you!
She was most interested in trying a Night Elf Druid, due to the, aesthetics and Cat Form (she's a cat lover), and I certainly didn't discourage this notion, as to my mind, a Druid as your first character teaches you some very useful grass-routes skills as you progress - How to play in three different roles, the basics of healing, and managing three different resources. Took her a long time to get used to the control mechanism, of mouse and keyboard, and for the first few days, she was all over the place, struggling to navigate terrain, and the tricky spiral steps leading to Nelf buildings - with the camera pointed at crazy angles; and constandly taking adds in combat due to lack of situational awareness.... But as I was pretty much the same on my first character, it brought back a few memories. I'd sit and watch her play, occasionally giving advice, which she didn't always follow.
She'd go up three or four levels when playing alone, but forgetting to assign new talent points, learning new spells from the trainer, but not putting them on her action bars... struggling with multiple pulls during those tricky Gnoll quests in Redridge, slowly learning to use her spells and abilities.. but it was all worth it, at 20, and Cat Form. I remember how it felt on my first Druid.. like suddenly being given a turbo-charged sports car, after plodding for days in the slow lane.
Right now, she's level 80, still in mostly quest blues, but with the epic flying skill, and slowly replacing her stuff as she goes. She's using the Dungeon Finder every day, and her initial method seemed to be 'just click the first button you see', which happens to be random Heroic. She didn't even know that she was doing heroic dungeons.
I worry sometimes, when I see her 1.5k DPS on Recount, as she tries to keep up with the ICC geared rushers, blasting through at lightning speed and blitzing out 4 and 5k DPS. It's all far too fast for her, and very difficult for her to practice a proper rotation, or get to grips with things.. .and she's often lagging behind, skinning and looting mobs, or trying to complete quests, while the uncaring group race ahead without stopping. The act of skipping bosses infuriates her, as she sees it as missing out on much-needed emblems and loot.
So-far, (touch wood), nobody has given her any abuse at all, despite her 'low' DPS. I guess I was probably being a bit over-cautious and worrying a bit too much about these 'abusive kids'.
Other thing is, I'm not sure about how I feel regarding giving Cat Form to Druids at L8 in the expansion. I like the way the current mechanics give a player 10 levels to play in a caster role, then another 10 in a prot role.. then teaching them to play in a DPS role.. it all seems very instructive and nicely balanced toward teaching core skills, and the sense of reward and accomplishment after slogging through those 20 levels and then getting Kitty Form feels great - that will all go come Cataclysm, replaced with near-instant gratification.
Breakfast Topic: Can't we all just get along? {WoW}
Aug 12th 2010 9:48AM Here's my idea: I posted it on the official forums some time ago, but it fell victim to a handful of trollish types who completely de-railed it. I'll try again on here.
- The game's sanctuary cities (Shattrath, Dalaran) have a room or small building set aside as an 'embassy' for each faction in the game. Or alternatively a single building or room with representative NPCs, similar to the Wyrmrest Accord.
- A player may, if they so choose, interact with any of the NPCs in the embassy(s), and if this NPC is an Ambassador for the opposing faction, their reputation for that faction becomes visible on their Reputation Tab, always set to the lowest negative value.
--- e.g. Night Elf speaks to Thunder Bluff Ambassador, reputation with Thunder Bluff now stands at 'Hated'.
--- Troll speaks to Ironforge Ambassador, reputation with Ironforge is now 'Hated'.
- The NPC (Ambassador) gives the player the option to perform a series of services (daily quests) for that faction, which, upon completion increase their reputation, at the cost of lowering rep with some of your home factions (more about that later).
--- Speaking with a member of your own faction that your are already at Friendly or higher rep with will simply result in a default message 'Greetings [player]'. However, if you have managed to lower your rep with them, then you are able to do the quests to re-gain that rep, at the cost of lowering rep with other factions.
---Note: Increasing rep with an opposing faction will also result in a DECREASE in rep with your own faction, the weighting of this is dependant upon how each faction regards the other:
-----e.g.. A Night Elf gaining reputation with Orgrimmar will result in an equal amount of faction reduction with Darnassus, due to poor Kaldorei/Orc relations (Warsong Gulch etc.), whereas a Night Elf gaining rep with Thunder Bluff will result in only a small decrease in Darnassus standing. A Human gaining rep with Undercity results in a large loss of rep with Stormwind (for obvious reasons) A Goblin gaining rep with Gnomeregan = large Goblin rep loss, but a Blood Elf gaining rep with Stormwind = small rep loss with Silvermoon.... I'm sure you get the idea......
-- In this manner making a decision to gain rep (and decide how much rep) with an opposing faction is not one that needs to be taken lightly; as there are real consequences. You'll need to put some thought into it. Gaining exalted status with Undercity, might make Stormwind become completely hostile to you, whereas only gaining neutral rep leaves you at Friendly status. It should be theoretically possible to be at neutral with every Alliance and Horde faction at once, but doing so would be quite difficult and time-consuming, and results in certain loss of privileges, such as discounts, items and certain quests.. but also offers benefits, such as cross-faction trading, guilds, friendlists, dungeon/raid groups services and communication.
---- Other significant consequences are that as soon as you gain Neutral rep with that faction, it is no longer possible to fight them in the open world, unless you choose to lower your rep, via working for an opposing faction. Battlegrounds and PvP zones remain unaffected.
Gaining Rep and Communication:
As soon as you reach the level of 'Unfriendly' with a faction you choose to gain rep with, you are allowed to visit that faction's towns and cities, without being attacked/PvP flagged. However you will only be allowed to interpret with a select few NPCs, who can give you additional quests, and be very limited in the type of services you can use -
-- For example it might be possible to find a single, sympathetic vendor who can repair, or one guard able to offer directions. All other NPCs will be openly unfriendly, and attackable, but will not attack you unless provoked. It might even be cool to have a few flavour emotes from guards and townsfolk.... '[NPC] looks at you distrustfully, and places a hand upon his weapon'.
Attacking an NPC of that faction causes all nearby guards to attack you, flags you for PvP, and reduces your rep with that faction.
At this point you will have limited understanding of that faction's speech, which improves as you gain rep.
Hated: No understanding.
Unfriendly: Garbled/incomplete understanding ('Zuk ruk go bank now zug zub find purse zuk zub) but inability for you to speak the language yourself.
Neutral: Mostly understandable, and that language will eventually appear in your language tab, at a low skill-level. Typing in it it produces a, debased semi-literate speech, similar to above.
Friendly - Exalted: You gain additional skill points as you do quests and progress, until your command of that language is flawless.
As soon as you reach honoured status with that faction, it is possible to group up with it's members, and share quests and dungeons. However it is only possible to join pre-made groups in this manner. Any PuG groups assembled via the Dungeon Finder tool can only ever be with your native factions. Only those who have Honoured or higher rep with the same 'opposing' faction as you can join these cross-faction groups.
e.g Both party members must have Friendly or higher rep with Undercity to group with any Undead players, no group may be formed without these pre-requisites.
-- At Friendly status, it becomes possible to do the normal quests, that are usually only available to the opposing faction: i.e A Troll with Stormwind Honoured rep can do 'Wanted Hogger'. The only exception to this are PvP quests.
-- You can purchase a mount of the faction your have gained rep with at Friendly status (e.g. Night Elf can purchase Kodo), however you will lose the ability to use this mount should your rep drop below Friendly with that faction. You may also gain the use of standard services such as Windriders, bank, auction house etc.
-- Banks will all be linked, and a Gnome using a Bank in Undercity, will find it no different to using the bank in Ironforge. Auction Houses will be linked to either Alliance or Horde, depending on faction. Having rep with an Alliance and Horde faction at the same time enables you to use both AHs). You also gain the ability to post items between Horde and Alliance characters, and vice versa, thus enabling your Alliance main to equip your Horde alt if you so choose.
-- The same scenario works in reverse for factions you lose rep with (i.e human no longer being able to interact with Stormwind NPCs, and them becoming attackable or even hostile) For the purposes of pure game mechanics, your command of that faction's language deteriorates as you lose rep with them.
This might also have some very interesting RP ramifications, such as the ability to 'betray' your own faction, and even openly attack (or be attacked by) it's members.
Battlegrounds, and dedicated PvP zones such as Wintergrasp work exactly as before. When queuing for a BG, you can only ever join as Alliance or Horde, and fight the other faction as normal. For the duration of the BG, the new faction mechanics are suspended, regardless of your rep, and you will not lose rep with that faction if you kill it's members.
World PvP depends on your standing with factions. For example it could be theoretically possible for a Tauren to fight (or be attacked by) both Dwarves and Blood Elves at once, resulting in a three-way skirmish. Players may choose to use this to their tactical advantage or not.
Should you manage to reach neutral status with every Horde and Alliance faction in the game, you will gain an achievement, plus the title 'Ambassador Extraordinary'. Possibly with other rewards such as a unique mount, or pet.
There's my idea, love it or loathe it. I'm sure there are many things I've not considered, or thought through properly, but that's what discussion is all about.

Tiger Aspect drama head Greg Brenman is stepping down from the role to launch his own production company.
Brenman, who has overseen productions such as Robin Hood for the BBC and Secret Diary of a Call Girl for ITV, will leave the Endemol-owned company at the end of the year.
He said: "Since Endemol bought Tiger Aspect two and a half years ago the collaboration has resulted in one of the drama department's most successful periods. The only reason I would leave at this time is to meet the irresistible challenge of setting up my own company. Tiger Aspect's reputation for being a great place to work is all true and it has been a very important part of my life, which of course has made my decision that much harder. "
Brenman launched Tiger Aspect's drama department in 1996.
Endemol chairman Tim Hincks said Tiger Aspect had "thrived" under Brenman.
"For now Greg continues to oversee Tiger's line-up of eagerly anticipated drama projects but when the time comes at the end of the year we'll be very sorry to see him go," he added.

Traditional Catholicism Is Winning
There were 467 new priestly ordinations in the U.S. last year, and Boston's seminary had to turn away applicants.
In his Holy Thursday homily at St. Peter's Basilica on April 5, Pope Benedict XVI denounced calls from some Catholics for optional celibacy among priests and for women's ordination. The pope said that "true renewal" comes only through the "joy of faith" and "radicalism of obedience."
And renewal is coming. After the 2002 scandal about sexual abuse by clergy, progressive Catholics were predicting the end of the celibate male priesthood in books like "Full Pews and Empty Altars" and "The Death of Priesthood." Yet today the number of priestly ordinations is steadily increasing.
A new seminary is to be built near Charlotte, N.C., and the archdiocese of Washington, D.C., has expanded its facilities to accommodate the surge in priestly candidates. Boston's Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley recently told the National Catholic Register that when he arrived in 2003 to lead that archdiocese he was advised to close the seminary. Now there are 70 men in Boston studying to be priests, and the seminary has had to turn away candidates for lack of space.
According to the Vatican's Central Office of Church Statistics, there were more than 5,000 more Catholic priests world-wide in 2009 than there were in 1999. This is welcome news for a growing Catholic population that has suffered through a real shortage of priests.
The situation in the U.S. is still tenuous. The number of American Catholics has grown to 77.7 million, up from 50 million in 1980. But the priest-to-parishioner ratio has changed for the worse. In 1965, there was one priest for every 780 American parishioners. By 1985, there was one priest for every 900 Catholics, and by 2011 there was one for every 2,000. In dioceses where there are few ordinations, such as New York's Rochester and Albany, people know this shortage well.
Still, the future is encouraging. There were 467 new priestly ordinations in the U.S. last year, according to a survey by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, up from 442 a decade ago.
While some of the highest numbers of new priests are in the Catholic-majority cities of Newark, N.J., and Philadelphia, ordinations in Washington, D.C. (18 last year) and Chicago (26) also are booming. The biggest gains are not only in traditional Catholic strongholds. In Lincoln, Neb., Catholics constitute only 16% of the population yet have some of the strongest numbers of ordinations. In 2011, there were 10 men ordained as priests in Lincoln.
What explains the trend? Nearly 20 years ago, Archbishop Elden Curtiss, then leader of the Omaha, Neb., diocese, suggested that when dioceses are unambiguous and allow a minimum of dissent about the male, celibate priesthood, more candidates answer the call to the priesthood. Our preliminary research on the correlates of priestly ordinations reveals that the dioceses with the largest numbers of new priests are led by courageous bishops with faithful and inspirational vocations offices.
Leadership and adherence to church doctrine certainly distinguish the bishop of Lincoln, the Most Rev. Fabian Bruskewitz. He made national news in 1996 when he stated that members of dissident Catholic groups including Call to Action and Catholics for Choice had automatically excommunicated themselves from the church.
Cardinal Francis George, the longtime leader of the Chicago archdiocese, once gave a homily that startled the faithful by pronouncing liberal Catholicism "an exhausted project . . . parasitical on a substance that no longer exists." Declaring that Catholics are at a "turning point" in the life of the church in this country, the cardinal concluded that the bishops must stand as a "reality check for the apostolic faith."
Such forthright defense of the faith and doctrine stands in clear contrast to the emphasis of an earlier generation of Catholic theologians and historians. Many boomer priests and scholars were shaped by what they believed was an "unfulfilled promise" of Vatican II to embrace modernity. Claiming that the only salvation for the church would be to ordain women, remove the celibacy requirement and empower the laity, theologians such as Paul Lakeland, a Fairfield University professor and former Jesuit priest, have demanded that much of the teaching authority of the bishops and priests be transferred to the laity.
This aging generation of progressives continues to lobby church leaders to change Catholic teachings on reproductive rights, same-sex marriage and women's ordination. But it is being replaced by younger men and women who are attracted to the church because of the very timelessness of its teachings.
They are attracted to the philosophy, the art, the literature and the theology that make Catholicism countercultural. They are drawn to the beauty of the liturgy and the church's commitment to the dignity of the individual. They want to be contributors to that commitment—alongside faithful and courageous bishops who ask them to make sacrifices. It is time for Catholics to celebrate their arrival.

Jesus in Islam
In "Jesus the Muslim Hippie" (December), Gabriel Said Reynolds demonstrates the dissonance within the Muslim community between what the Qur'an says about Jesus and what later Muslims wrote about him. This helpful distinction notwithstanding, his article fails to discuss how to reconstruct the Christ of Islam, or whether it is even feasible to do so. The inevitable conclusion of Reynolds' argument is that such a reconstruction is an impossible task, or at least would result in an erroneous portrayal.
While this appears to be true if we only examine the later Muslim interpretations, I argue that limiting our focus to the Qur'an could still yield an important portrayal of Jesus. Though conflicting with the biblical portrayal of Jesus, the qur'anic view still tells much about the uniqueness and supremacy of Jesus.
In the Qur'an, for example, Jesus is born from Mary, who is better than all women (3:42). While God is the only creator (3:47), Jesus also creates (3:49; 5:110), though granted, he does so "by God's permission." But then, one may ask, how can a mere human, even if he was a prophet, possess such a divine attribute? Muslim exegetes typically downplay these verses, but they still afford Jesus qualities that are shared by no other human.
Moreover, Jesus is given the title "the Word of God" (3:45; 4:171), which suggests that Jesus manifests who God is and that he was with God since the very beginning, for God was never wordless. Furthermore, Jesus is called "sign and mercy" (19:21), "truth" (19:34), and even "illustrious" (3:45).
Most of these titles only appear in the Qur'an in reference to Jesus. Taken together, these texts represent a valuable and unique portrayal of Jesus that even elevates him above other messengers of God.
When compared to the Bible, the qur'anic picture of Jesus is incomplete and inaccurate on important matters, but it should not be dismissed as irrelevant. For the Qur'an sheds light on the uniqueness of Jesus both in its similarities to the biblical witness and in its divergence. This qur'anic portrayal is important to keep in mind as Christians engage with their Muslim neighbors.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Looking back at classes from 2005
A new blog post from Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times on the Huskies' 2005 recruiting class got me thinking about Oregon's from that same year. Washington's 14-player class was rated last in the Pac-10 that year, and as of now only seven remain. Well, Oregon was rated fifth in the Pac-10 by both Rivals and Scout, but of that 23-man class only eight remain, and by next year I think it might be down to just three fifth-year seniors (I believe there are 11 expected on hand this fall, for some context.)
The class has been fractured both by the talent of the group of freshmen who played right away, the heavy reliance on junior college players that year, some reaches who were cut loose, and the presence of some juniors who may leave after this year (in my opinion, of course.)
A look at where things stand now with the members of Oregon's 2005 signing class:
Matt Bramow, WR: Local product has disciplinary issues and transferred to Portland State.
Jairus Byrd, CB: Natural safety has held his own at cornerback, and could be an early entry candidate for the draft after his junior year this fall.
Tucker Callahan, LB: Outside linebacker transferred to Alabama, his homestate school.
Ed Dickson, TE: Oregon's second-leading receiver last year is a budding star, and another possible early entry candidate after his junior year this fall.
Matt Dragich, P: Junior college transfer battled for his job with walk-on Aaron Knowles.
James Finley, WR: Sure-handed receiver was another JC transfer.
Kevin Garrett, LB: In the mix to start at WILL linebacker as a redshirt junior this season.
Levi Horn, TE: Moved to tackle, then transferred to Montana.
Titus Jackson, FS: Entering redshirt junior year, but subpar speed hurts his playing time.
Jeremiah Johnson, RB: Played as a true freshman, and expected to start as a senior this fall.
Derrick Jones, WR: Talented but mercurial burner couldn't cut it academically and left school this offseason.
Palauni Ma Sun, OL: Junior college transfer started at guard in 2006.
Chris Mulvanny, LB: Big-play ability in junior college didn't translate to the Pac-10.
Blair Phillips, LB: JC transfer was the team MVP as heart of the defense in 2006.
Nick Reed, DE: Didn't redshirt and is entering his senior year as pass-rushing terror.
Pat So'oalo, OL: Junior college transfer never cracked regular starting rotation.
Jonathan Stewart, RB: Played as a true freshman, then left school after record-setting junior season last fall.
Mark Sunga, LS: Left school after some disciplinary problems but is back on track as baseball prospect.
Walter Thurmond III, CB: Like Byrd and Dickson, this big-play corner could have the resume to leave school after his junior year for the 2009 NFL draft.
Simi Toeaina, DT: Has two years left to turn on his motor; could join Garrett and Jackson as lone fifth-year seniors in 2009 if all those juniors leave early.
Brian Truelove, DT: Like Callahan, a Southern recruit who left after a year.
Jason Turner, LB: Junior college linebacker moved to offense and had senior year ruined by a knee injury.
Mat Webb, OL: Knee problems cut his career short during his first fall.
So there you have it. Some real success stories, and some misses. Any given class is going to include guys from each end of the spectrum, but this seems pretty extreme.

Chrysalis Wall Flat KayBay from Bay Area, CA– Verified Buyer Outstanding and truly unusual wall art. I tiled a 6'x4' piece of plywood and hung it in my dining room. Looking for a big architectural look and very pleased with the results. This project took some time but worth every hour I put into it. Two things I learned: prime coat before caulking and prime over it again twice before using a finish coat. And-contact cement or another adhesive like a wood glue product wasn't very effective on plywood. I ended up staple gunning the entire piece, covered the staples with metal paint primer before priming 2x with a Kilz product. Staples are entirely invisible. Hope this helps! |
Looking great Liz from Austin, TX My wall flat project looks great! I placed them on the blank wall of my semi-open stairway (removed the handrail on that side). I underestimated the time and effort needed to complete this project and am a bit disappointed that in the week since I completed the installation some of the joints where four tiles meet have slightly separated, however this will be an easy fix with spackle or caulk and a paint touch up. I'm pleased with the overall look and certainly will recommend this product to anyone looking for an eye catching accent wall in their home. Be sure to give yourself several days to accomplish the steps of adhering, priming and painting being certain to allow time for thorough setting/drying before moving to the next step. |
Easy and gorgeous! Melanie from Georgetown, TX– Verified Buyer These are stronger than I expected... which is a good thing. They're easy to put up but the side are not completely exact on all sides so make sure when you put them up you go from the stack to the wall in the same order and put them the same way. The average person wouldn't notice by my husband, who's an artist did. They look gorgeous! Everyone who see them loves them! |
Used as wall art Jaime from Wellington, FL– Verified Buyer I used 12 of these wall tiles as wall art (6 wide x 2 high). I painted them gloss white with a sponge roller, mounted them with command strips (I hated the thought of making them so permanrnt) then caulked the seams. Love them as it brings a much needed pop of color and texture to our dining room. |
Magical 3 D wall tiles Linchi from Redwood City, CA These were not that easy to put on as they appear, as my wall was not perfectly straight and I have to trim the tiles. Different paint colors give very different vibes. My favorite is still a high gloss premium white, which transforms a boring wall to a very zen and trendy space. |
My whole bathroom wall changed David from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer This totally changed the feel of my living and is a great accent piece! Totally changed the wall of the room! |
very unique looking Vanna from CA– Verified Buyer made for a very unique wall feature for my modern fireplace. lots of complements. |
Wall flats Lynn from New Prague, MN– Verified Buyer The product was shipped right away! I painted the individual flats with metallic paint and hung them on the wall above my couch. They added just the right color and modern flower I was looking for! Loved them! |
So versatile and hip Coreena the Designer from Fayetteville, AR I decided to buy these to make a headboard. I was frustrated by the high prices of upholstered headboards and I wanted something that gave a similar look. These wall tiles are perfect! I'm going to attach them to plywood backing and put a silver moulding around the whole thing. I love how versatile they are, and how clean and simple too - but they definitely add that extra something to a room! I love that they are three-dimensional and reflect light and shadow. LOVE LOVE LOVE them! |
Modern, clean and easy Leslie from Canaan, IN– Verified Buyer I installed these with tile adhesive and it was super easy. It's a quick way to add interest and a touch of modern decor to a room. I painted them with a high gloss white lacquer paint. |

If a team from the Eastern Conference has any shot at winning a Stanley Cup this year, it's going to be thanks to the West grinding itself into fine powder and the eventual Hunger Games-esque victor being so banged up that they're not the same hockey team they were at the start of playoffs. And really, that scenario isn't that far-fetched. The team defenses are generally suffocating out West, so it's going to take some blood and bruises to create anything.
The Los Angeles Kings are safely third in their division and eight points up on the final wild card spot, yet they can't score goals to save their lives. Here's the last three teams in the league in goals for:
Yup. Prestigious company you're keeping there, Kings. But it doesn't matter – to beat hockey teams you have to score on them, and the Kings give up a league-best 2.06 goals-per-game which is a head-asplode type number. So yes, they're going to brutal to play in the post-season. Grind, grind, grind.
Beyond the Kings, five of the top seven teams in league goals-against-per-game are from the West, with the St. Louis Blues following up the Kings with a 2.27 nightly goals against.
And they felt the need to upgrade their goaltending.
Basically, I'm not sure if the Blues are going to give up a goal ever again (there's some potential that might be hyperbole, but you get the point). Read the rest of this entry »

Displaying posts tagged under "survey"
How many new TLDs will domainers register?
Most domain investors expect to register some new domains this year.
The current rollout of new top level domain names is a slow and steady process that will take years to complete. A lot can and will happen during this time frame.
This year's Domain Name Wire survey asked for opinions on new TLDs now, as in early 2014. The result is a pretty good snapshot of how people involved in several aspects of new TLDs — domainers that buy them, registrars that sell them, and registry providers that provide them — view the market at this time.
One survey question asked how many second level domains under new TLDs people expect to register in 2014.
I filtered this question to only show results from survey respondents who said they were domain name investors. There's some overlap with service providers in this group as well.
47% of respondents said they don't plan to register any new TLDs in 2014. The other 53% plan to register anywhere from 1 to 1,000 domains. The median answer was 20 domains.
This same group of domain name investors does not predict much downside for .com domain names as new TLDs rollout:
The top line is the number that think .com values will rise, the middle expect little impact, and about 20% expect .com prices to fall as a result of new TLDs hitting the market.
Domain investors didn't answer this question much differently than registrars and other service providers. I the latter groups, about the same percentage expect .com prices to be negatively impacted, although more think there will be no effect as opposed to a positive one on .com values. Again, there's some overlap between this group and investors.
At the same time, more than half of both groups expect non-.com domains (e.g. .info, .biz) to be negatively impacted by new TLDs.
Survey: Domain Name Registrars in 2014
What do customers look for in a domain name registrar?
The 9th annual Domain Name Wire survey is open and awaiting your participation.
As always, the survey asks some questions about domain name registrars and why people use the registrar they do.
The survey asks participants to rank eight difference factors commonly considered by customers. There's an additional one this year that wasn't on the list last year: availability of the top level domain name options you like.
Although new top level domain names are flooding the market now, there are still many notable registrars who aren't offering them.
As an extra incentive to complete the survey, I'm giving away a number of prizes.
Survey: domainers have a new favorite domain parking company
InternetTraffic selected as top domain parking company.
Less than two years after opening his own domain parking platform, domain investor Frank Schilling is at the top of the heap.
Participants in Domain Name Wire's 8th annual industry survey have selected InternetTraffic as the top domain parking service.
Data show that the domain parking business is still fragmented. InternetTraffic received 22% of the vote but seven companies received at least 6%.
Here are the top parking companies according to the survey:
1. InternetTraffic 22%
2. Sedo 17%
3. Voodoo 8%
4. Bodis, Rook, GoDaddy, SmartName (6%, tie)Domain owners continue to report relatively low RPMs on their parked domains.
38% reported earning less than $10 per 1,000 page views in 2012:
42% of respondents said their domain parking revenue was down in 2012 compared to the prior year, with 15% reporting a drop of at least half.
29% reported an increase while 28% said it was flat.
Domainers aren't bullish about 2013, either. 34% think parking revenue will go down while only 24% predict an improvement.
2010 Domain Name Wire Survey – By the Numbers
A look behind the people who responded to this year's survey.
I'd like to thank each and every person who participated in this year's Domain Name Wire Survey. 537 people in the domain industry participated this year. If you're one of the five people who will receive a free copy of David Kesmodel's "The Domain Game" book, you already received an email this morning.
Here's a look at the profile of this year's participants:
-537 total responses
-25% of respondents own 1,000 or more domains, and 7% own 10,000 or more domain names
-Respondents were from 49 countries. 57% of respondents are from the United States. Other countries with large representations include United Kingdom, India, Poland, Australia, and Canada.
Now the hard work begins. I will start cutting the data to look for interesting trends and report the results here on Domain Name Wire. Thanks again to everyone who participated this year, and the previous four years.
Record Response to 3rd Annual Domain Name Wire Survey
Record 841 people participate in survey.
A record 841 people participated in the Third Annual Domain Name Wire Survey. I'm delighted by the response, and I think it's a testament to the value and credibility of the previous two surveys.
The results of the survey will be released by topic on Domain Name Wire. Furthermore, results from some of the questions will be released at next month's T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in Orlando.
Here's a quick look at who participated and the three winners:
-Domain industry professionals from 62 countries submitted responses
-76% of respondents were domain investors, 7% worked for registrars, and 17% were domain name service providers
-56% of respondents own 100 or more domain names, and 22% own more than 1,000 domain namesRandomly selected prize winners:
Grand Prize, $100 credit at registrar of choice – Jason Hendrix
First Prize, $50 credit at registrar of choice – Dennis Lambert
Second Prize, $25 credit at registrar of choice – Carey SchumacherThe first results will be regarding domain name registrars.

I just noticed this morning that the white on Renzo's muzzle is slowly creeping up his face. I don't want him to get an "Old Man Face" because that means he is no longer a little baby. :-( (Who am I kidding? He is 5 1/2 years old!)
Someone really needs to invent a way for our pets to stay with us forever!

'Les Miserables' Teaser Gives a Sense of Anne Hathaway's Raw, On-Set Singing
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentMost trailers are anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes, but very few pack as much grandiose power as the new teaser for Les Miserables manages in just a minute and a half. To be fair, director Tom Hooper is utilizing time-honored music that swells and soars, but there's also a power in the shots, the set design, and in Anne Hathaway's voice as she laments the death of a dream.
With a shaved head.
The scale looks nasty, brutish and epic. Check it out for yourself:
The musical, which also stars Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Helena Bonham Carter, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen, is unusual in that Hoooper recorded the singing on set instead of in studio. The result, at least here, seems to be incredibly raw and affecting.

text: HomeRecreational Tree Climbing is fun, non-competitive and safe... much safer than the free climbing we were up to as kids. We encourage new climbers to climb at their own pace and only as high as they are comfortable. We do not pull ourselves up the rope as one might expect. Rather, we alternate standing in binding loops and push another binding knot up the rope. Some strength is required but we rely more on coordination and manipulation of the knots using the double rope technique (DRT). We use only professional quality climbing gear. Tree for All teaches the protocols of Tree Climbers International. In the 25 years of the sport, no serious injury has occurred by strictly adhering to these rules and techniques. The sport, initiated in Atlanta, is now of international scope with instructors practicing across the USA and in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, France, Poland and England. Research indicates nature and outdoor activities have restorative and therapeutic benefits. Recent research in Japan suggests that recreational tree climbers are more relaxed after climbing and further revealed that "the sport results in increased vitality and a reduction in confusion, fatigue and tension." Recreational tree climbing as a beneficial therapy to specific populations continues under study. FOR ONGOING UPDATES, SCHEDULE CHANGES AND
