I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for quite some time, the Denver Community Museum (DCM). Carried out in the form of a pop-up gallery, the DCM will be a temporary arts institution located in downtown Denver, CO.
Contents for the museum's monthly, rotating exhibitions will be based entirely on community submissions. Every month a new 'Community Challenge' is issued and the results will be put on display.
Submissions are now being accepted for the first Community Challenge, titled "The Missing Map". The challenge is to: create a three-dimensional globe – of any size, using any material, sharing any narrative you desire. Submissions can be turned in 9.26 or 9.27 between 12-5 PM to the DCM at 1610 Little Raven St. Suite 120.
The DCM is free both to participate in and to visit. Submissions are welcome from people of all skill levels and ages, the only requirement is that you must be a resident of the City of Denver. The museum officially opens on Friday, October 3rd – future hours will be: Thursdays, 2 – 7 PM, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 – 5 PM and by appointment.
Much more to come, but for now visit the DCM website here. I will be gone for most of the week, regular posting will resume 9/15! Start making globes.

Everyone who sees my VT loves the wheels - except me! I much prefer racing style dual-spoke or horseshoe spoke wheels like the ones in your photo.
Can you run relatively stock profile tires? I don't like super low-profile tires myself.
I must have the sill plates! Where did you get them?
The stock tires are very low profiles LOL...too small IMHO.
Can you run relatively stock profile tires? I don't like super low-profile tires myself.
I am one who prefers the look of the VT stock wheel, enough so that I am considering trying to see if the can be widened instead of buying new wheels.

Geekish Garrulous Grumblings blogs › How to update Turnover for Windows
Turnover (from Soft Landings Inc) is a pretty cool Software Change Management system running on IBMi.
Arguably its best in class and certainly my preferred SCM tool. Saying that, the old 5250 (green screen) functions are frustratingly lacking in some areas where the company has obviously decided to only focus continued development on its Windows client - Turnover for iSeries.
But, the Windows client is based on the Eclipse IDE and its pretty neat. It's regularly updated, but you need to know how to grab the very lastest updates. So here you go.
I recorded this little screen cast with the excellent freebie JING from Techsmith but didnt record any sound... because I am huddled in a super quiet littel Dilbert cubicle and it may have awoken my fellow programmers.
The important piece is this URL - http://support.softlanding.com/t100client/2012Q2/

Wright Vision Center, an ophthalmology and optometry center in Rapid City, South Dakota, aired a commercial featuring a young chimpanzee "actor" wearing clothing and glasses, advertising their surgical vision correction services.
Great Clips hair salon, whose franchise is found across the US and Canada, aired a commercial in December 2012, advertising their clip notes service. The ad features Billy, a chimpanzee "actor" owned by Steve Martin of Steve Martin's Working Wildlife. In the ad, he is referred to as "monkey" and drives a small car to deliver a note to a group of golfers. Billy has appeared in several advertisements, both on TV and online, including those for Career Builder, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and A&E's Storage Wars, as well as a Steven Tyler music video.
After pressure from animal welfare organizations and advocates, Great Clips has decided it will be pulling the advertisement (date not yet confirmed) and has now pledged not to use great apes in any future ad campaigns. (see list of pledged non-users).
The Ticket Clinic, a Florida law firm specializing in traffic violations, launched two commercials produced by Pirates for Parties production company in late 2012, featuring a young chimpanzee dressed as a lawyer. In both ads the chimp poses with lawyer and Ticket Clinic founder Mark Gold, who tells ticketed drivers, "Don't monkey around with your driver's license."
In the third commercial in the restaurant's "Daydream" series, a Steak 'n Shake customer eats a burger as he daydreams of a James Bond-type fantasy. He sees himself fencing with ninjas and being waited on by a tuxedo-wearing chimpanzee with whom he rides snow mobiles.
Super Home Surplus, a home improvement store located in Tennessee and Kentucky, aired a TV commercial in late 2012, which is also featured on their website. In the ad, a chimpanzee dressed in business attire and referred to as "the new boss" sits behind a desk, as a voice-over shouts orders to employees, including the line "Zero monkey business in here."
Storage Wars, an A&E TV series, aired a commercial promoting the premiere of their third season. This commercial features Billy, a five-year-old chimpanzee who also was in the Career Builder's Super Bowl commercial, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and a Steven Tyler music video.
Tropicana introduces their knew line of juices called Trop50, with actress Jane Krakowski and chimpanzee Chance wearing a cowboy outfit.
Tropicana decided to discontinue the ad after hearing from those concerned with the practice of using apes in entertainment.
Polk Audio is a manufacturer of audio products best known for their home and automobile speakers. In this commercial a young chimpanzee "actor" dressed in jeans and a button-up top demonstrates how easy it is to install the Surroundbar 3000 IHT.
In 2011, Tire Engineers launched a tv ad with the campaign "Dont Monkey Around," and featured a live chimpanzee "actor" wearing a mechanic uniform and in an anthropomorphic setting.
CareerBuilder first start using chimpanzee "actors" in their advertisements in 2005 and 2006. This advertisement campaign was ended in 2007 after CareerBuilder faced pressure from a variety of activist groups, although CareerBuilder denied the influence of these groups in the decision to pull the advertisements.
In 2011, CareerBuilder decided to revive their old campaign and a new commercial featuring chimpanzee "actors" aired during Super Bowl XLV. Again, a variety of activist groups put pressure on the company to pull the commercial, but CareerBuilder did not respond to requests to discuss the issue.
The chimpanzee "actors" featured in the commercial are owned by Steve Martin of Steve Martin's Working Wildlife.
In 2012, CareerBuilder produced yet another commercial featuring chimpanzee "actors," which aired during Super Bowl XLVI. Again, a variety of activist groups put pressure on the company to pull the commercial, but CareerBuilder did not respond to requests to discuss the issue.

Quickly, decisively, and with persistently good manners, Peter and Paul (saintly names, mind you), both wearing white gloves, take over, immobilizing Georg with a well-placed whang to the knee with one of his own golf clubs. (This act was prompted by Georg slapping Paul, who had first provoked Georg verbally.) Again, like the eggs accident, we don't see the golf club attack, although we hear it and then are thrust visually into its aftermath. "Why are you doing this?" we hear Georg plead. "Why not?" Paul replies matter-of-factly off-screen. And with the family virtual prisoners in their own home, slowly, deliberately, Haneke turns up the violence knob, as the two young men invent a series of seemingly innocuous "games" that degenerate into wrenching, escalating misery for the family. It all climaxes with a bet: whether or not Georg, Anna, and Georgie will still be alive in twelve hours, at 9 a.m. Peter and Paul wager they won't.
"I try to find ways of representing violence as that which it always is: as inconsumable," Haneke is quoted as saying in the film's press materials. "I give back to violence that which it is: pain, a violation of others." Well, yeah. To accomplish this the filmmaker gradually pries us away from our usual expectations of screen violence -- the cartoon explosions and ridiculous bullet ballets orchestrated by Hollywood and its countless overseas imitators. Not only does he rigorously imply rather than depict physical violence, he painstakingly portrays the considerably more unnerving psychological violence that Peter and Paul visit upon the family without motive, without reason. (The pair comes across like highly twisted, contempo versions of '20s American "thrill killers" Leopold and Loeb.) Funny Games subverts our conditioned response to filmic violence, not allowing us to march numbly -- detachedly -- out of the theater, as is our custom, after ingesting a two-hour dose of shoot-'em-up mayhem. The film sticks with you, a creepy wart on the psyche.
Haneke toys with our expectations of movies in other ways, too, teasing viewers with a fleeting, fake Hollywood-style thriller resolution; and twice he has Paul turn directly to the camera -- a la George Burns on the old '50s Burns and Allen TV show -- to address the audience, consciously blurring cinematic "reality" and fiction. He wants you to remember that you're watching a film unspool. By doing this, I think, Haneke perhaps overstates his case. The narrative alone -- and a brief discussion Peter and Paul conduct at the end about matter/antimatter and reality/fiction (based on what seems to be a comic book Peter has read) -- would have sufficed.
Other filmmakers have previously addressed the subject of unalloyed psychological violence -- notably Peter Weir in his 1980 made-for-Australian-TV movie The Plumber, which also featured a disturbingly plausible home invasion -- but seldom, if ever, has it been done with such cerebral audacity as Haneke does with Funny Games. (Saturday, January 31, 4:30 p.m.)
-- Michael Yockel
Twenty-seven years ago I sat in a packed Baltimore movie house watching the just-out Summer of '42, an empty-headed coming-of-age piece of fluff wherein a well-scrubbed teenage Everyguy (Gary Grimes) loses his virginity, after much hemming and hawing, to a well-scrubbed Older Woman (Jennifer O'Neill) whose hubby has gone off to fight in World War II. At the breathless moment when it becomes apparent that they're going to "do it," with the audience hushed and dewy-eyed, one moviegoer, unable to contain himself, burst into gales of laughter. He couldn't stop. It all struck him, I guess, as absolutely absurd. At the time I was annoyed; now I know the guy was light-years ahead of the rest of us saps who were sopping up this cinematic glop.
That moment came back to me more than once as I squirmed through En Brazos de la Mujer Madura (In Praise of Older Women), Spanish director Manuel Lombardero's half-inch-deep romantic drama, adapted from Stephen Vizinczey's novel that first showed up on-screen in 1978 courtesy of Canadian filmmaker George Kaczender (who has since gone on to carve out a career for himself doing disease-of-the-week, made-for-TV movies). Kaczender's film stuck with the novel's setting (Hungary -- World War II and beyond) and premise (Hungarian dude recounts twenty years' worth of sexual exploits). First-time director Lombardero and screenwriter Rafael Azcona shift the action to Spain during that nation's late '30s civil war.
In 1937 handsome fifteen-year-old Andres (Miguel A. Garcia) takes off for the front in search of his fascist-sympathizing mom when the nearby war -- which we hear about only over the radio -- prompts his school to close. En route to who-knows-where he meets up with a scruffy band of Republican soldiers from the socialist government who've commandeered a rural inn; Andres joins them and peels potatoes for the forces of good. According to Lombardero and Azcona, war is swell: happy-go-lucky soldiers, beaming peasants delivering fresh produce, a nifty inn as barracks, picture-postcard landscape, fine weather, meals-on-wheels for the grunts in the trenches who never fire their guns. But Andres broods anyway. No babes. But wait! Straight out of nowhere, in waltzes a stuffy English duke and his take-charge American wife (a completely over-the-top Faye Dunaway), captured while motoring through the Spanish countryside on holiday. (Like many other people, the duke and duchess enjoy vacationing in a foreign nation in the midst of civil war.) Well anyway, through a series of ridiculous circumstances too dumb to recount, the duchess "breaks in" the horny Andres to the strains of tinkly, mushy music. (Cue man tittering in audience.)

I love this rug. It is a nice size and a rather low pile. It is not thick and luxurious. It is, however, brightly colored and soft enough that my kids are both laying on it right now. The pattern is really nice and adds some color and texture to my living room.
Absolutely in love with this beautiful rug. The colors, red...purple....sage...turquoise...camel... are so vibrant! The pile of the carpet is very luxurious and well made. And the price was amazing! Oh, and the shipping -- SUPER FAST! I am in the process of remodeling and had just painted my walls candy apple red and usually go for the more traditional, oriental, etc., type of rug/pattern, BUT I AM SOOOO GLAD I FOUND AND MADE THIS DEPARTURE from my "norm"! We've gotten so many compliments in the two days it's been down! I definitely recommend this rug. I just don't think anyone could find a rug of this quality and beauty for a better price! Thanks O.Co!
The only surprise was that the darkest color is a chocolate brown instead of purple as I had expected.
I love this rug. It is beautiful, thick and soft on bare feet. The price is very reasonable.
I was excited when the delivery arrived and once I unrolled it I was overjoyed with the appearance. ***** 5 STARS!!!!
Great Rug!!! I love it looks great with the kitchen table I bought here!!! Fast shipping !!!
The colors are a very vibrant red, brown, teal, tan, and an avocado green. The part that looks purple is actually red and brown mixed. I've had this rug for a few months. The corner stitching is coming a little loose, but it's not unraveling. It's a great rug for the price.
It is colorful but not garish (but this is totally subjective I suppose). It is soft underfoot and there is a non slip backing on this! I have laminate flooring. It rolled flat and only one corner was slightly curled up. A few days in, my 1 year old nephew spilled blueberries AHHH and grape juice AHHHHHHH onto it, right onto a lighter, tan spot. Put some paper towels underneath. Blotted up the juice on the rug. Treated it with a 'stain stick' (rubbed it in). Went over it with a damp towel. repeat. About 10 minutes later the blueberry-grape juice stain was gone! The big reason I chose this rug was that it would/should hide stains well (I have a 3 and 5 year old) and so far I have not been disappointed. Highly recommended. I just bought another one so I can lay them side by side and make it 10x8! :) Can't wait til it arrives!
The colors and quality of this rug are great. Nonslip background is perfect for our active children in a high traffic room.
This rug pulls all the colors in my room together-used it under a table in a Great room and helps to divide eating area. I get lots of compliments-very pleased with it!

When I was eight years old, I came home from school one day and declared that I was going to be a writer. I'm not certain what prompted that declaration, but unlike so many other decisions in life, it stuck from that day on.
Wolfkin was my first novel–not the first novel-length thing I had written, but certainly the first worth sharing with anyone else. It was originally completed in 1996.
In addition to writing, I have a MS in biology and have worked as a biologist, archaeologist, and office assistant. My hobbies include hiking, brewing beer, vegetarian cooking, and playing around on the computer.
I live near Charlotte, NC, with my wonderful husband and several cats, who are just like children to us, except they never ask to borrow the car.

Okay, I just took part in some discussions on TwitterMom's about this. It was suggested that everyone who is a member of Stumbleupon and Technorati list their screen names and or websites so we can all add each other as friends and give each other's sites love. If you're not familiar with these sites, message me and I'll explain. I'm cool-mom-guide at Stumbleupon if anyone wants to friends me and with technorati, I've just been going to my friends websites and favoriting the site. I figure everyone is so supportive and we all want the hits. From what I've been told, those are the 2 big sites that will draw traffic, but you have to get a boost from friends since you can't rate yourself :)

Philosophical and empirical moral psychologists claim that emotions are both necessary and sufficient for moral judgment. The aim of this paper is to assess the evidence in favor of both claims and to show how a moderate rationalist position about moral judgment can be defended nonetheless. The experimental evidence for both the necessity- and the sufficiency-thesis concerning the connection between emotional reactions and moral judgment is presented. I argue that a rationalist about moral judgment can be happy to accept the necessity-thesis. My argument draws on the idea that emotions play the same role for moral judgment that perceptions play for ordinary judgments about the external world. I develop a rationalist interpretation of the sufficiency-thesis and show that it can successfully account for the available empirical evidence. The general idea is that the rationalist can accept the claim that emotional reactions are sufficient for moral judgment just in case a subject's emotional reaction towards an action in question causes the judgment in a way that can be reflectively endorsed under conditions of full information and rationality. This idea is spelled out in some detail and it is argued that a moral agent is entitled to her endorsement if the way she arrives at her judgment reliably leads to correct moral beliefs, and that this reliability can be established if the subject's emotional reaction picks up on the morally relevant aspects of the situation.

So my friends, these are some snapshots of love I took from my instagram and my facebook account enjoy….
* Vintage love
* Yarn therapy after a very very bad and blue day
* My children… my love… my life
* My morning coffee and some moments of calm before the children wake up
* Yarn love. I feel calm and happy just looking at my basket
* Siblings love.
* This little boy of mine is already 18 months old… It feels like yesterday when he was a tiny little crying baby… I'm so in love with him
* Snuggled under a blankie and feeling blue…
* My princesses. Even though they fight a lot they can not live far from each other
* Some beautiful flowers on Mother's day (It is on March 21 in my country)

What a lovely family! Anne
Lovely to see a picture of all of you, I have been wondering what you look like. I do enjoy your blog. Will have to investigate Instagram.

Why World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Stock Spiked This Afternoon
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE - Get Report) shares experienced a late afternoon jump today, rising 3.9% and closing at $19.35, on speculation that the sports entertainment company would be announcing a new TV deal tomorrow.
According to the blog Wrestling Observer, WWE is set to announce a new TV deal with its current partner, Comcast
(CMCSA - Get Report) owned NBC Universal.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia has more details here.
TheStreet Ratings team rates WORLD WRESTLING ENTMT INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate WORLD WRESTLING ENTMT INC (WWE) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- WWE's revenue growth trails the industry average of 14.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- WWE's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.12 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, WWE has a quick ratio of 1.51, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The gross profit margin for WORLD WRESTLING ENTMT INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 28.50%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -6.36% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$9.40 million or 59.40% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

American Music Awards 2012: Six Things That Sucked and Six Things That Didn't Totally Suck
Well, it's an ABC tradition, originated by the late, great Dick Clark. It's like the American Idol of shitty award shows, in that the fans choose the winners by an online poll, which means nothing is determined by talent and every artist is "more honored" because "it's the fans" who've granted them this achievement.
But did they totally suck? Well, sort of.

Six Things That Didn't Totally Suck
Usher's Epic Three-Song Intro
He's one of the coolest dancers/singers in the world and he kicked shit off proper with his opening medley of new hits. He danced his way through dramatic renditions of "Numb," "Climax" and the brand-new "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," all backed by some of the most intense lasers, smoke, and flashy distracting things the show would offer all night. Sure, his singing wasn't top-notch, but it's because he's actually moving up there and trying at the same damn time.
One nice thing about the AMAs was the lack of stupid attempts to be funny between presentations. One of the most painful things about other shows is the terrible hokey-jokey videos that are supposed to be star-studded hilarity, but only end up being embarrassing for everyone involved. This award show had none of that crap, just straight-up lackluckster acceptance speeches intercut with a thousand performances by the highest-selling artists of the year.

But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er
She shall press, ah, nevermore!
from Edgar Allan Poe – The Raven on Genius
This is the revelation, the turning point of the poem. While he is sitting there, puzzling over this strange talking bird, his mind wanders for a moment to the fact that his love will never sit with him here again. It is at this point he realizes the raven is actually and truly speaking to him, telling him that he shall never see her again, even in the next life. She is gone, and forever beyond reach, and that is what the raven, messenger of death, has been sent to tell him.

Telecom NZ under investigation
PUBLISHED: 15 Oct 2010 09:57:00 | UPDATED: 17 Oct 2010 11:36:37PRINT EDITION: 15 Oct 2010
The New Zealand Commerce Commission is investigating whether Telecom New Zealand's wholesale business unit is likely to have discriminated against telecommunications providers in favour of the group's own retail arm.
The investigation launched on Friday involved an alleged breach of Telecom's separation undertakings, the commission said.
Its concerns arose from the price at which Telecom Wholesale offered the unbundled bitstream access (UBA) service to telecommunications providers who intended to take up the sub-loop extension service from Telecom's Chorus business unit, compared with the price Telecom Wholesale charged to Telecom Retail.
The sub-loop extension service is a commercial service provided by Chorus to enable service providers to supply an exchange-based voice service in conjunction with a cabinet-based UBA broadband service.
Telecommunications commissioner Ross Patterson said concerns were raised with the commission earlier this year about the price Telecom requested for the UBA service to be supplied in conjunction with the sub-loop extension service.
"At the time the commission advised Telecom of its concerns that Telecom Wholesale's offer was discriminatory. Telecom responded that it did not believe that Telecom Wholesale was in any way in breach of its non-discrimination obligations."
The investigation followed the completion yesterday of a clarification process into the provision of UBA in conjunction with the sub-loop extension service.
The commission said it would now gather information, with interested parties able to make submissions during the investigation, which was expected to be finished by the end of March.

Whose Feet Did Pope Francis Really Wash? The Call to Return to Gospel Simplicity Comments
"Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown ... Continue Reading

Raymond- it's also COMPLETELY in line with both the things Christ DID and TAUGHT, and it's providing us Catholics with the humble example of how WE are expected to live.

The Holy Father's action in washing the feet of the young prisoners is really commendable.
1) It is in line with St.Francis's life of living the word rather than preaching the word.
2)It would definitely have had a positive impact in the minds/attitude of the youngsters in prison

Rob... nothing new. Folks with the same mentality were ready to stone Jesus for healing on the Sabbath, and freaked because he ate with a tax collector, associated with fishermen who, by trade, were ritually unclean, and got bent out of shape because he allowed himself to touch and be touched by lepers, cripples and prostitutes. We may not call them "Pharisees" today, and they may never go to the extreme that Judas did, but the attitude and complete willingness to miss the point to point out the "error" (what scripture called, "straining at a gnat to swallow a camel,") is EXACTLY the same.
Meanwhile, pope Francis, our Holy Father, is literally following the example of Peter. when Peter was sent by God to the gentiles, (He was, before Paul,) Peter dreamed of eating all manner of food... both Kosher and non. He balked, protesting to the Lord, who told him, "Do not call 'unclean' that which I say is 'clean.' "
Unless people want to suggest Christ was wrong, they need to spend less time criticizing the Holy Father, and more time humbling themselves and following his example. Viva papa!! -

The pope is ok so long as he tows the line....heaven forbid he actually tries to reform something. Christ calls us to be bigger than all the world systems and I suspect sometimes that includes our own. He is the Holy Father for pete's sake!
How in the world is this man thrown under the bus because he washed a women's foot? Nothing worse than the liturgical police ensuring that strict adherence to every jot and tittle of law ensures that we evict any semblance of Jesus in the mass. But doesn't matter right so long as we do it "right." Geez.
Yup....not eating meat is exactly the thing that is going to get us to heaven. Maybe the Holy Father should eat a t-bone and instead tell us to give up be consumers on Fridays or better yet visit someone in prison, clothe the naked etc. You know, those things that Christ says we should do. I really am not sure he's all to concerned about our dietary habits and if not eating meat on Fridays is the best we can do to show our Christianity to the world, then we've got bigger problems than the Holy Father racking up some liturgical infraction. -

The furor seems to be over whether the foot washing of the rite is reserved for priests or is the sign of hospitality and service you suggest. In another article the words of the rite seem to suggest that it is for Jesus' disciples, not necessarily apostles. Women are among the disciples even if they were not among the apostles.
I don't think the 'traditionalists" were so upset because Pope Francis washed the feet of women per se, but simply that it gave the anti-Catholic media and dissenters an opening on the whole women priests issue. They just don't get that John Paul II closed that door in May 1994 when he declared "in virtue of my ministry" as Pontiff in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis that "the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this JUDGMENT IS TO BE DEFINITELY HELD BY ALL THE CHURCH'S FAITHFUL."
Debate closed. -

Thank you for enlightening me on this incident.
When I first heard about the issue, a brief shock of betrayal ran through my core for a moment to the tune of "How could he?".BUT THEN I SETTLED just as quickly in the authority and faith of our beloved Papacy.
I had faith that Pope Francis believed firmly in (and made a conscious choice about) the washing of feet act. LOL
A seed though had been planted in my spiritual heart. It was like a light prayer, a short but lingering prayer for Truth.......
I wanted God to reveal His Way and to guide us. I wanted our beloved Pope Francis to be a good leader not just for the Church but for all mankind; that he would not be met with an upsurge of secular hostility, "quibbles and disputes about the Law" (Titus 3:9), or any evil allusion to sway support for secular beliefs about the woman's role in the Church etc... God help us!
We in the Catholic faith are indeed blessed enormously by the Papacy. We are blessed by the Papacy's spiritual service, spiritual teaching and revelation, spiritual monitoring and guidance, spiritual prowess, spiritual boldness, spiritual growth, and spiritual calls for prayer and all in a universal community that has been freed to act in accordance. We don't need to be afraid or be doubtful.
GLORY be to God! And give Him thanks!

Bob... how come it's only called "class warfare" when the poor fight back?
1 year ago
Jesus let himself be touched by pagans and whores. He paid taxes to Rome, allowed his followers to break the Sabbath, and when challenged, stated clearly that the law was made for man, not man for the Law. \
Will you judge Christ as harshly as you have our Holy Father? Perhaps you know God's will better than both Blessed John Paul the Great and Pope Francis? -
1 year ago
The ordinary everyday person when scripture points out the need to serve the poor in many instances draw the conclusion that the economically rich are greedy, selfish, self centered, etc, etc. We see this class warfare being used to divide the nation. But they can be poor in many other ways. For example, the fact that they are rich doesn't bring them happiness or joy. They may be without peace. They could suffer from ill health or anxiety. They too need the Lord in their lives as well as anyone. Abraham was a very rich man and so was Job. Not only were they wealthy in possessions but were very good men who were rightous in the sight of God. My point is the rich many times are derided and held in comntempt. On the otherhand, we must recognize the those who would refuse to accept personal responsibility where they really can. Our poor by world standards live lives of relative comfort. That is not to suggest we don't need a safety net in times of hardship. The conclusion I would draw is that those who work hard and are able to establish a business are the very people who provide jobs fairly to the needed.

I do not see how kissing muslim's feet who refuse to convert to Christ, or kissing qurans and dialogue with muslims who, according to their own literature, use these false meetings/dialogues to deceive, currupt and render useless any real productive dialogue, will help christians or any one in any muslim country. As we speek christians are being killed, tortured, burned alive, brutalised and oppressed in any satanic way (by these very same muslims who we have "nice discussions with) you can possibly imagine, and yet catholic leaders still cave in and refuse to confront islam, out of fear of violent backlass, as ususal. Did our christian forefather during old roman times, refused to confront pagan romans, out of fear of homicidal "roman pagan backlash"? Of course not, so why are we doing this suicidal islamic appeasing to ourselves?...this is a complete betrayal of God.I will never accept it as a catholic and will always consider it a mortal sin! Obviously our Pope is a very good person with really nice ways, but that will not bring peace to the world if He and us, his flock, continue refusing to convert and spread our faith in Christ, as divinely commanded! Its not happening when is concerns muslims because we behave like cowards...this has to stop!

A new Toshiba commercial, titled "Math Notes," is one of three new not-that-funny "funny" ads via Toshiba Canada aiming directly at the college student market.
David Gianatasio at AdFreak points out that the spots "gotcha" moment relies on what GLAAD has termed the "'homo-queasy' ad cliché of showing a guy looking disgusted that another man might be attracted to him."
Here's how AdWeek describes the ad:
Sherry Lyons, vice president of corporate and marketing communications at Toshiba of Canada, told AdFreak: "Toshiba would never intentionally set out to offend our customers. We do not feel that the 'Math Notes' video is offensive or cliché."
Toshiba Canada gave its outraged YouTube commenters the same generic responses:

Bad news just coming out of midtown....
Update: 12:00 Noon
From The New York Times:
A man who had been fired from an apparel importer in the shadow of the Empire State Building shot and killed a former co-worker on Friday morning, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said. The man then walked along the curb in front of the Empire State Building, where he "turned his gun" on two officers on duty at the main entrance "and tried to shoot them," the mayor said.
Police C0mmissioner Raymond W. Kelly said that nine bystanders had been "wounded or grazed" and taken to hospitals. The mayor said that some of the injured may have been hit by police bullets during the confrontation with the suspect, whom Mr. Kelly identified as Jeffrey Johnson, 53, a former clothing designer at Hazan Industries. Mr. Kelly said he believed that some of the shooting victims had been shot by the officers "based on the number of people shot and the capacity of"' the shooter's weapon.
--James Barron, Wendy Ruderman, and William K. Rashbaum, The New York Times
Update: 10:55 AM--apparently two fatalities now being reported.
AP story and video can be seen here.
Two law enforcement officials in New York City say a recently fired store worker shot a former colleague to death and then randomly opened fired on others near the Empire State Building.
The officials say eight other people were struck by bullets but those injuries are not believed to be life threatening."
Colleen Long and Tom Hays, The Associated Press
A suspect was shot and killed by police and four other people were wounded when gunfire erupted Friday morning outside the Empire State Building, cops said.
Details were sketchy, but the shooting started shortly after 9 a.m. on the crowded rush hour sidewalks outside the iconic midtown skyscraper."
Rest of the story can be found by clicking on the screen image:
A law-enforcement official said the shooting did not appear to be terror-related, and may have been the actions of a disgruntled employee who may work inside the building.
It wasn't immediately clear if the gunman's wound was self-inflicted or if the suspect was shot by police.
Some of those taken to hospital may have been injured in a stampede after the gunfire erupted, sources said."

I am saddened because I wonder how many men, women and children are going to be murdered before we address the underlying cause of these shootings. I am horrified because once again we have people dead, once again we have someone who chose to resort to a gun because they were angry and because I wonder how many more men, women and children have to die before we have a REAL discussion about guns.
Is there any good reason why citizens should own semi-automatic or automatic weapons? I don't know anything about guns, but am just wondering. Police don't have them, do they? So they are automatically at a disadvantage when confronting someone with a better weapon, right? Or do police now carry them in the trunk of their vehicles?
Those a the real statistics!
@Janice because you are rather cute and I do not know yet whether you are just another OS globalist shill I will bother answering you. Its very simple.
Americans do not have assault rifles to hunt deer and the majority don't even own them for home defense. Assault rifles are the counter balance inserted into the constitution against government tyranny. And don't tell me they didn't have assault rifles then. The state of the art weapon then was the Kentucky long rifle and every American who wasn't a eunuch owned one. The performance of that gun is the very reason America is no longer a British colony.
This country is hurtling towards Civil War at breakneck speed. They know it and they want those guns. Look for more and more of these types of shootings. I know they are tragic for those who are caught in the crossfire but you have heard the expression war is hell haven't you? There is nothing good about it and it should always be held in reserve as a last resort. Unfortunately the pirates do not think that way. They like war and use it as a tool as long as they don't have to do the actual fighting. They have killed millions of Muslims throughout the world on the the pretext of a phony war on terrorism. Right now your president is gearing up for what may be the final provocation of WWIII on the basis of a letter full of lies signed by what looks like a who's who of the most vile of the neocons.
In the event of such a war you and anything you ever loved will most likely be incinerated in a shower of Satan missiles courtesy of the "former" Soviet Union whose president Vladimir Putin has already warned America and its allies repeatedly to keep their grubby hands off of Syria a traditional Russian client state. That should be worrying you far more than the globalists inane attempts to disarm their opposition by manufacturing populist consent among a bunch of clueless liberals who don't even own guns. If you want to know what the opposition to the Pirates think I suggest you start here and stop reading globalist shills like Noam Chomskey and his impotent admirers that seem to be running rough shod over OS lately.
The Globalists cannot win. They do not even have the popular support of the military. I like a lot of people here on OS. But I can only watch in mute horror as well meaning people align themselves with pirates on a sinking ship.

Pairings: A Fundraiser with Common Threads and LegalArt was recently held this past Thursday, March 29th.
This was a first-of-its-kind collaborative event celebrating artists and chefs, where guests were able to enjoy delicious bites from Chow Down Grill, Gastropod, and Mad Man Jack's Bar-B-Q, along with cocktails by 42Below Vodka, Société Perrier, and Peroni Beer.
Interactive culinary-inspired art performances created by LegalArt artists in residence and friends included Liz Ferrer, Patti Hernandez, Jiae Hwang, Lucas Leyva, Jillian Mayer, Jared Sharon, Leo Valencia, Amy von Harrington and Pioneer Winter (Me!), were on display.
I joined with Liz Ferrer and three other performers in moving to the timeless sway of Moonlight Sonata. Each performer had their own food to eat and dance with: onion, limes, papaya, watermelon, and two ice cream drumsticks (vanilla)! Video will be available soon.
Founded in 2003, Common Threads teaches low-income children (ages 8-12 years old) to cook wholesome and affordable meals because we believe that through our hands-on cooking classes we can help prevent childhood obesity and reverse the trend of generations of non-cookers, while celebrating our cultural differences and the things people all over the world have in common. Common Threads currently serves over 6,300 students and parents annually nationwide in Chicago, Miami, Washington, DC and Los Angeles. For more information visit http://www.commonthreads.org.
LegalArt is dedicated to providing artists with affordable legal services, grants and educational opportunities. By empowering artists with access to legal and professional support, resources and information, LegalArt creates opportunities and protections for Miami's art community, fostering a generation of artists who are armed with the skills to legally protect their creations.

£2 million Big Society fund launch creates Community Games
Written by Andrew Holt
Millions of people will be able to come together to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in their local communities at one of over 2000 games being held across the UK, thanks to a £2 million Big Society fund, minister for Civil Society Nick Hurd said today.
The Community Games programme will provide support and resources for communities to organise their own local sporting and cultural events in celebration of the London 2012 Games.
The events will be anything from a triathlon or a sponsored walk to a live concert, and will reflect the interests and needs of the local community.
Community Games was the brainchild of Legacy UK, a charity whose role is to create lasting impact from the Olympic and Paralympic Games by funding ideas and local talent to inspire creativity across the UK.
The Community Games programme will provide support and resources which includes a national accredited training and mentoring programme, designed to create a lasting legacy of community volunteers with the skills and confidence to activate social change.
Local people will have the opportunity to get involved in Community Games in a number of different ways.
They could become a Community Games organiser responsible for developing and implementing a Community Games event, they could volunteer to help out at an event, they could participate in the events activities, or they could just simply come along, have fun and enjoy the event as a spectator with friends and family.
Minister for Civil Society, Nick Hurd, said: "We want everyone to get involved and celebrate the London 2012 Games coming to the UK and this is why we have awarded Community Games £2 million.
"Community Games will provide the help and support people need to organise a run, a triathlon or even a dance contest display in their local area this summer. This is all part of our drive to create a bigger stronger society where people are empowered to make a difference to their community."
Moira Swinbank, chief executive of Legacy Trust UK, added: "Legacy Trust UK is all about securing a legacy from London 2012 in communities' right across the UK, and what better way to do this than through Community Games?
"We're delighted that the potential of this regional programme has been recognised, and look forward to working with the County Sports Partnership Network and the YMCA to bring a taste of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to millions of people throughout England."
The award also heralds the creation of a new partnership between the County Sports Partnership Network (CSPN) and the YMCA to run the England-wide Community Games programme.
The collaboration will benefit from the CSPN's expertise in promoting physical activity participation at a local level, coupled with the YMCA's 166 years of experience of helping to build positive futures for young people and communities.

Funding Period
Revised Funding Period (Updated 4/21/14): September 1, 2014 - March 31, 2015
Due to the uncertainty of a no cost extension from NASA, the performance period of the grant has been shortened to end March 31, 2015. If a no cost extension is granted by NASA, we will entertain extension requests to May 31, 2015 from those who have expended at least 60% of the subcontract amount by March 31, 2015.
Teacher Training Mini-Grants
Teacher Training Mini-Grants are available for innovative projects and programs to deliver NASA content to K-12 educators who will impact the most Nebraska students with this content over time. It is the goal of these mini-grants to further develop the teaching skills and curricula that will have its greatest impact in the classroom by improving the quality of aerospace-related education for Nebraska students.
Mini-grants are not intended to be sustaining funding; rather they are intended to support a project or program for one year, allowing the project or program to grow and obtain more permanent funding elsewhere. Funding for non-NASA or non-aerospace related projects is not supported by the program at this time.
Faculty and staff at participating NASA Nebraska Space Grant college and university affiliates, and pre-service and in-service teachers in Nebraska are eligible. Other organizations wanting to sponsor a teacher training workshop are also encouraged to apply.
Funding Limits
Applicants may request NASA support in an amount no greater than:
Proposed amounts should be reflective of the scope of the project. It is important to note that not all projects will be funded at the maximum award levels. Selected projects may be funded at lesser amounts based on the ability of applicant to align with the goals of the program, or due to budget cuts.
Please see the proposal application for submitting instructions and other guidelines.
