BEHOLD! (Exhibit J) Just Blaze (Producer)

Gustavo C. García was an attorney who advocated on behalf of Chicano rights to education and adequate workplace conditions. García is most known for his arguments against jury segregation in the Hernandez v. The State of Texas case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954. The García collection is small and includes photocopies of correspondence, legal documents and newspaper clippings reflecting his career-long involvement with Chicano rights.
1936-1977 -
This photography collection consists of original materials from an exhibition excerpted from the book El Salvador: Work of Thirty Photographers, including 69 gelatin silver prints by various photographers, one large chromogenic color print of the image from the book's cover, 13 bilingual text panels written by Carolyn Forché, and the paper work and comments book from the original exhibition tour. The first section of the exhibition was made up of 67 images taken by 30 international photojournalists during the intensely brutal period of conflict between 1979 and 1983. Photographers Susan Meiselas and Harry Mattison gathered these images into a traveling exhibition and book in 1983 to raise global awareness about the conflict. At a time when the Reagan administration insisted that military aid to El Salvador's government was essential to stopping the spread of communism and that progress was being made on human rights, the photographs contributed to the debate by providing a contrary eyewitness account. The images are accompanied by texts written by poet Carolyn Forché.
1979-1983 -
This collection contains video footage shot by WITNESS partner Jesús Tecú Osorio, an activist and survivor of the March 13, 1982 massacre in which 177 Mayan-Achi women and children in Río Negro, Rabinal were tortured, raped, and slaughtered by the Guatemalan army and army-led civil patrol groups. Río Negro was one of the 440 villages that were razed and destroyed during the Guatemalan government's counter-insurgency campaign.

As a young man, Sáenz fought for the U.S. Army in World War I, and following the war he published a diary arguing that Mexican American service to the U.S. military should translate into the full realization of Mexican American civil rights. These experiences and publications helped to inspire the Mexican American rights movement in Texas and the foundation of organizations such as LULAC. The Sáenz Papers include biographical materials for Sáenz, his professional and activist correspondence and his written works, published or unpublished.

The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was founded in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1929 with the mission to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States. Today, LULAC advocates powerfully for legislation that benefits the interests of all Latin Americans in the U.S. as individuals and members of larger Latin American communities. This three part collection stems from the "Presidential Papers Initiative" established to collect the papers of each LULAC president from 1929 to the present; however, actual preservation in this collection is limited to sixteen presidents over the 80 year history of the organization. Materials range from administrative documents to subject files on a wide range of civil, economic and social rights.

Political leader from La Joya, Texas, and advocate for the poor, Leo James Leo championed many Mexican American causes. He was involved in both local and statewide politics and served on the boards of directors of many Great Society poverty programs, such as the Associated City and County Economic Corporation, helping the poor with food, job assistance, housing, and medical aid. He was often involved in controversy because of his forthright defense of these programs. In 1960, Leo and other Mexican -American political leaders organized the Political Association of Spanish Speaking Organizations (PASSO). Leo chaired the 1,000 member Hidalgo chapter of PASSO, the largest in the state. He also formed the Hidalgo County Political League, an association of liberal Anglo American and Mexican American Democrats, in the late 1960s. In addition, he assisted with summer youth programs and helped file citizenship papers for many Mexican immigrants. The collection contains materials from La Joya political activities and statements; the Guillermo Flores Elementary School dedication; personal and family history; and posthumous dedications and tributes.

Autumn has begun to fall onto Haverford's campus, and October has brought with it chilly breezes, crisp apples, and the beginning of the arboretum's colorful transformation from green to orange, yellow, and red.
Seniors are digging into their thesis topics and juniors are largely abroad or getting adjusted to upper-classmen levels of work. Sophomores are starting to feel comfortable in their shoes as experienced members of the community, and first-years are starting to settle in and truly call this place home.
And, for many, Haverford does quickly begin to feel like home. Whenever I speak with my family about traveling to and from the campus, I often say that traveling to Haverford is going home, and I mean it. Haverford does an exceptional job of making the circumstances right for new students to feel comfortable in their own skin and get excited about engaging with the community they've become a part of.
The program that does the most to engage students right from the get-go is undoubtedly Customs. Customs is Haverford's version of new student orientation, but it's so much more than orientation week. Each freshmen hall gets eight returning students to help guide them through both their first week of college and the entirety of their first year. On this team of eight, there are Customs People, who live with the freshmen and act as always-accessible support people; Upper-Classmen Advisors, who also live with the freshmen and help them navigate their academic decisions; Peer Awareness Facilitators, who host open-ended discussions about social issues and campus life with the freshmen; Honor Code Orienteers, who help freshmen get adjusted to life under Haverford's unique Honor Code; and an Ambassador of Multicultural Awareness, whose job it is to connect freshmen with the resources they need to hold on to and celebrate their unique cultural identities as they transition into adult life.
This entails a whole lot more than just a smattering of enthusiastic orientation leaders who lead orientation week and then disappear after the semester begins. The Customs Team sticks with freshmen throughout their first year at Haverford to help them get the most out of their first year of college life. It's also more robust than having resident assistants who are paid to act as disciplinarians: instead, all Customs Team members are volunteers, and their job is never to punish first-years, but help them to thrive, succeed, and get back on their feet if they falter.
Last year, I was a Customs Person (CP) for a group of first-years in Gummere Hall. This year, I am a Peer Awareness Facilitator (PAF) for a group in Barclay Hall. Customs Week this year was an exciting and fast-paced orientation week, filled with all sorts of fun activities such as the campus-wide scavenger hunt and the Fords Against Boredom Block Party. There were also opportunities for freshmen to learn about the school's traditions, such as a trust walk to illustrate living under the Honor Code, and a cultural timeline event to learn more about each other's cultural backgrounds. The majority of the events that happen during Customs Week are intended to help first-years get to know one another and build meaningful friendships right away.
Now that the year is under way, it's time to get down to business with my Peer Awareness Facilitator partner, Ellie Greenler '17. She and I are planning discussions on a wide variety of topics, including race & ethnicity, religion, gender & sexuality, disability, and more. More frequently, Ellie and I (along with the rest of our Customs Team) spend a large portion of our free time just hanging out with the freshmen that we have been assigned to. We may have explicitly defined roles, but one of the best parts of Customs is simply that it sets the stage for first years to make new friends with each other and their Customs Team. In many cases, these bonds last for many years beyond freshman year and beyond our time at Haverford. One of my Customs Persons from my freshman year, Dan Fries '15, is now one of my best friends and roommates.
Customs was named as such because it offers freshmen the opportunity to learn the customs of Haverford College. One of the most important customs that Haverford holds in high esteem is our tight-knit, caring community. Thus, friendship and fellowship are some of the most important customs that we have to show each incoming class of students. So, as the Class of 2018 settles in to life at Haverford, they can be rest assured that a friend is never too far away.

Nottestad pulled away from Wolff's challenge, on the restart guiding the way to the checkered. At the stripe it was Nottestad, followed by Wolff, Mark English of Edgerton, Clapp and Mike Dietzen of Milwaukee. Wolff set the fast qualifying pace, with a 15.857 second loop of the quarter mile.

Instead what you need to create is a karma point system.
One who should be spoken to will accumulate 1 karma point by way of a karma button or report post by the offended people...too many karmas you are automatically chilled out for 1 month..
John check your pm box please..there is a place for mods ..
I agree with what Chiselray says (I can't believe I said that).
I belong to a Motorcycle forum that operates on a similar system, here's how it works:
Every member has a "Gas Tank". When you join the site you are given 1/4 tank of "Gas". Other members can give you "Good Gas" when you're helpful, and they can also give you "Bad Gas" when you're ignorant and acting like an ass. To keep it from getting personal, each forum has a Moderator that looks at each submission for "Good Gas" and "Bad Gas" to see if it has merit or not. If the mod deems the submission valid then he either removes "Gas" from your tank or adds it. When your "Tank" becomes empty you go on a little "Vacation" for a few weeks. It's sort of a "reputation" system, and I think it would work well here at the BV. It's like being judged on your behavior by a Jury of your peers. Mind you, there has to be a certain amount od "Bad Gas" or "Good Gas" submissions before the mod is notified to make a call, which means that you can't be penalized for just one or two "Bad Calls" on a post.
What do you think John?
You don't have to do a "Good Gas", "Bad Gas" thing, but I'm pretty sure you could come up with something similar for the BV.


text: Ok so I went the math route with finding speed from the GPS which seems to work. Now as one would expect now that everything is working the APIbridge fails. The app works fine and then after a few prompts of (allow app to access user data), it works for about 5 minutes and then I get the error "Internet: server not found." I presume that means the 127.0.0.1 etc... server that is the APIBridge fails and crashes. Has anyone seen this and hopefully has some insight? I try restarting the app and then the same thing - server not found. The only fix is to restart the entire phone. I'm using a nokia 5230 with flashlite 3.1.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2010) |
Apoplexy (from Ancient Greek ἀποπληξία (apoplēxia), meaning "a striking away") is bleeding within internal organs and the accompanying symptoms. For example, ovarian apoplexy is bleeding in the ovaries. The term formerly referred to what is now called a stroke;[1] nowadays, health care professionals typically specify the type of apoplexy, such as ovarian and pituitary apoplexy.
Informally, apoplexy is associated with being furious, especially as 'apoplectic'.[2]
From the late 14th to the late 19th century,[3] apoplexy referred to any sudden death that began with a sudden loss of consciousness, especially one in which the victim died within a matter of seconds after losing consciousness. The word apoplexy may have been used to refer to the symptom of sudden loss of consciousness immediately preceding death. Ruptured aortic aneurysms, and even heart attacks and strokes were referred to as apoplexy in the past, because before the advent of medical science there was little ability to differentiate pathoses (because there was very little accurate understanding of physiology in general).
Because the term by itself is now ambiguous, it is often coupled with a descriptive adjective to indicate the site of bleeding. For example, bleeding within the pituitary gland is called pituitary apoplexy, and bleeding within the adrenal glands can be called adrenal apoplexy.
Apoplexy also includes hemorrhaging with the gland and accompanying neurological problems such as confusion, headache, and impairment of consciousness.

Poland Ready for Its Close-Up
Urban revitalization is emerging in Poland in tandem with world-class design, drawing the likes of architect Robert Krier and filmmaker David Lynch to the scene for movie-related building projects. In Lodz, a town outside of Warsaw where Lynch shot scenes for Inland Empire in 2006, the pair is in development talks for an urban renewal project whose cornerstone will be a film studio and arts center. In conjunction with locals Marek Zydowicz, director of the Camerimage Film Festival, and Andrzej Walczak, a businessman and architect, Lynch established The Arts of the World Foundation to lead the project. It plans to convert a 108,000-square-foot power station, built in 1906, into an art gallery, a postproduction editing studio, and a large hall for symphony recording sessions.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
The foundation invited Krier to propose designs. The Luxembourg-based architect is also currently developing plans nearby for a 220-acre area surrounding the Lódz Fabryczna railway station, which has been designated a new city center. "The main focus will be put on cultural facilities," says Kazimierz Suwala, who chairs the foundation's board. "The intention is to create a new urban quarter in the center of Lodz that will become the city core, which was lacking until now."
The preliminary scheme calls for relocating railroad tracks underground and converting the historic train station for a new use. Hotels, residential buildings, and shops are also planned, as well as a 1,000-seat theater for the Polish Film Festival. Future phases could include a museum and technology park. Construction is set to begin in 2008.
Film is inspiring development elsewhere in Poland, too. In Krakow, the Schindler Factory, a World War II–vintage structure where Steven Spielberg filmed Schindler's List, will soon house Poland's Museum of the Righteous Among the Nations. This institution pays tribute to those who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Krakow created a $1.2 million grant for the factory's adaptive reuse, designed by Aleksander Janicki, and the museum is slated to open in 2008.
A similar project is under way in Warsaw, also due to open next year. Finnish architect Rainer Mahlamaeki, of the Helsinki firm Lahdelma and Mahlamaeki Architects, is working on the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. (See sidebar below.) It is just one outgrowth of the mayor of Warsaw's Urban and Architectonic Council, created in 2003 to oversee downtown rejuvenation over a 10-year period. The initiative has also produced the new Warsaw Museum of Modern Art. Designed by Swiss architect Christian Kerez, the $91 million museum will open in 2010.

The line up of contestants for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing has been confirmed by the BBC and includes TV presenters, singers and Olympic athletes.
Cycling Gold medallist Victoria Pendleton and gymnast Louis Smith will be among the 14 celebrities competing for the trophy.
The line up, many details of which had already leaked to the media, was confirmed by the BBC on Monday night.
Also in the list are Daybreak's Richard Arnold, Fern Britton and the 72-year-old father of radio DJ Zoe Ball, presenter Johnny Ball.
Former Westlife singer Nicky Byrne and Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud make up the pop contingent, while actors on the show include EastEnders' Sid Owen, former Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, Tracey Beaker star Dani Harmer and Colin Salmon.

Flinders Global Law and Governance Research Cluster is hosting a public discussion entitled: The Facebook & Twitter Revolution in the Middle East: How should the international Community respond?
The discussion will focus on such issues as to whether there is a right to democracy in the Middle East, how should other nations respond to the revolutionary movements, the gender issues involved, and the other human rights engaged in the struggle such as the right to life, freedom from torture and freedom of association.
Other issues to be discussed will be the role of the United Nations - are the hundreds of deaths in Libya engaging a doctrine known as the Responsibility to Protect which might require Security Council intervention? Another fascinating feature is the growth of the social network movement to encompass revolutionary movements.
The purpose of this event is to bring together scholars and students to discuss the events in the past weeks in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Iran, Palestine and perhaps new countries depending on events.
The speakers will include:
Susan Breau Yvonne Corcoran-Nantes
Tina Dolgopol Hossein Esmaeili
Chris Kwong Anthony Langlois
Grant Niemann David Palmer
David Radford Susanne Schech

This assortment of the latest works of art to enter the BSUMA collection is delightfully diverse. All the works have been acquired since Peter Blume became director in 2003. The scope of the exhibition is enormous, including everything from artifacts made in pre-Dynastic China to contemporary artists. Sculpture, painting, decorative arts prints, and more are given space in this remarkable exhibition. A bonus to Reordering the Universe is its thematic organization. Games, Vanity, Politics, Foodways, Drawing on the Classical World, Rituals and Symbols of Power, Deluxe, and Myths and Legends are the sub-themes that group works of art from disparate cultures and time periods around these powerful ideas that are prevalent in all cultures. Members of the Ball State faculty were invited to contribute brief insights into the meaning of these works of art from their discipline's point of view, as part of a larger cultural matrix. A successful work of art will always reveal a great deal about the time and context in which is was made and used.
Professors dedicating their time and knowledge to this exhibition were Able Alves, History; Colleen Boyd, Anthropology; Frank Felsenstein, English; Patricia Nelson, Art; Diana Saiki, Family and Consumer Sciences; Chris Shea, Modern Languages and Classics; and Ken Swope. Also contributing were Ruta Saliklis, associate director, and Peter Blume, director of the BSUMA.
Exhibition Date: November 5, 2006

A classic dish and really easy to make, try this Spaghetti Bolognese recipe for a great, filling evening meal. Add a bit of Parmesan on the top to really finish it off nicely.
500g Minced Beef
1 chopped onion
180g chopped carrots
1 tbsp olive oil
2 chopped celery sticks
2 tins chopped tomatoes
large squirt of tomato puree
1 clove crushed garlic
2 beef stock cubes
2 bay leaves
400g dried spaghetti
150ml red wine
1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the minced beef and cook until browned.
2. Add the onion, carrots, garlic and celery. Cook these until they are slightly soft, but make sure they do not brown.
3. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, stock cubes made up with 150ml boiling water, wine and the bay leaves, stirring as you go.
4. Bring the heat down to a low level and cook until the carrots and celery are soft, this can take anything up to 1 hour 30 mins.
5. For a really rich flavour make sure you stir the sauce to break up the minced beef and the tomatoes, this can also be done with a potato masher if you wish. Take out the bay leaves just before serving.
6. Cook the spaghetti as per the instructions on the pack. Drain and serve with the bolognese sauce, garnish with parmesan cheese, and if you wish, some basil leaves.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 90 mins

Petition to President Obama: Turn Around the WTO! World leaders at this week's G20 Summit will issue plans for reregulating the financial industry to help solve the economic crisis. Yet, bizarrely those same leaders will push for completion of the current WTO negotiations - called the Doha Round - which at its core calls for further financial services deregulation and pressures governments to limit their regulation of banks. We need to stop this. President Obama needs to hear from you that he must lead the renegotiation of existing WTO rules – like he said he would on the campaign trail. And, he must pull the plug on the lunatic idea of the WTO Doha Round requiring further financial service deregulation - which would only exacerbate the economic crisis. Sign our petition to the president telling him to turn around the WTO. Petition to President Obama:

Studio & Photographer: Alexandra Grablewski
Hello everyone! How are you today? Let's talk about beautiful photography for a minute and check out an inspiring studio in Brooklyn. If you've already caught the link in my recent post about Sweet Paul's new book (here), then you may have clicked over already and discovered Alexandra Grableweski for yourself. If not, you're in for a real treat. After reviewing Paul's book, I wanted to create my own little post highlighting her most gorgeous images because seeing her portfolio made me feel creative and sparked the need in me to start using my Canon 5D more and really LEARN photography and no longer accept being comfortable with the same old settings I often fall back on which produce very mediocre results.
In other words, her work gave me a swift butt kick! Alexandra's photos are a combination of technique and a clever eye, which to me are the key ingredients in taking photos that stand out from the pack. You can't have one without the other because you can have the best angles, gorgeous subjects, and the awe-inspiring surroundings, but if you don't know how to capture them correctly on a technical level (lighting is key!), then you may never be fully satisfied with your photographs. I must add though that you also need a lot of patience because working with people (especially pets and children) requires a lot of it. We had an infant photo shoot in my home last month 10 days after my son was born (see the results here) and our photography, Christin Lange, was so perfectly patient with our baby despite how she'd position him a certain way and immediately he'd move and she's have to do it all over again and again and again. I observed her patience and it brought baby and child photography up to a whole new level of respect in my eyes. I had no idea how much work it was to get babies posed well for a single image.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Alexandra's work, she is professional photographer based in Brooklyn who specializes in food, still life, children, and travel photography. When she's not on location, she is shooting from her home which doubles as her studio space for client work. She recently shot the new book by Paul Lowe called Eat & Make, which you can win a copy of here until April 8, 2013. Here are some glimpses of her home studio below to give you a peek.
What an interesting concept to keep your home tidy and spare so that you can use it as your studio space in addition to living. I find it so interesting that she can even live that way, I tend to have so much stuff that is personal that I'd have a hard time loaning my private space out to clients or shooting in all of the rooms in my home. I admire her tidiness and dedication to her work so, SO much. I also love that despite being in New York City, her three-story city home looks like it's located in the middle of a scenic countryside. It has a very Connecticut or New Hampshire vibe – very New England – so charming. All of the white and wood makes for the perfect backdrop for so many different types of photos, too.
Here are some of my favorites from her portfolio. I particularly love the ones that center on lifestyle and children, for obvious reasons given I just had my first child! I also need to get a marble work surface like the one shown in the below photo. I love marble surfaces that are white with gray because you can really let things melt and smear nicely on them and they won't dry as quickly or absorb into the surface as they would if placed on a wooden surface. Truth be told, I've been really attracted to them lately because my neighbor and friend Susanne, who writes the blog Milas Deli, uses one in lots of her IG stream photos and I really like how it looks. I'm on the prowl for one to buy for my kitchen now so I can start showing some of my own food photos that I post on IG with a marble background instead of always relying on my wooden table. It's getting boring. I need to try some new surfaces and experiment a little bit.
So what do you think, gorgeous or what?

Your comments...
love these kind of photos…great lifestyle pics!
anastasia´s last blog post ..Americana: Mac 'n' Cheese -
Alexandra's images are so wonderful. I just started to learn more about photography. There is a lot of work and a lot of fun.
Angela – designhaus no.9´s last blog post ..Living with the Frog King on a tree -
Love the soft palette of the photos!
Lucy Chen´s last blog post ..101 Inspirational Art Quotes -
Yes, loving these shots! I finally got my first DSLR and am all sorts of excited to dive in. It's really getting my creative juices going, which have been down for such a long time.
Juliette´s last blog post ..Smartphones, I'm just not that into you. -
Love the look of marble right now too! I jsut bought a dining room table with a marble top (great for kids as no staining). But if you want to "cheat" your photos in the meantime, I bought a roll of contact sticky paper with a white and grey marble design (the stuff you use to line shelves etc. from the local garden/home shop) and for instagram shots I promise you wouldn't be able to tell the difference!
Julie Gallagher´s last blog post ..GOODIES – Sneak Peek -
SO gorgeous and so very inspiring…love!!
Janelle@awhitefarm´s last blog post ..Crochet rug……complete!!! -
Posts with deco, babies and food, perfect posts!
In a Trendy Town´s last blog post ..Video Tutorial: decoración de uñas
Yes, just beautiful, wonderful "eye". Very inspiring!
Roseanna´s last blog post ..On my worktable… -
Alexandra has great composition in her photographs and they are not only images that I can get lost in for hours, but they provide so much inspiration to take really great photographs. Looking at and studying the work of great photographers helps to keep in perspective that so much can be achieved with practice, lighting and patience. It isn't easy, but it's a lot of fun perfecting.
Love the cloche with the butterflies!

I decided to switch my blogging to Tumblr because it is a whole lot easier to blog there. My new URL is le-swing-cajun.tumblr.com
See you guys on the flip side!

Did I forget to mention it? I did. Well, here are some pictures to celebrate. On Sunday, April 28th I was confirmed in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. So, I'm officially cool.
Sponsor and me
I love this picture. It's the priest who confirmed me, along with me, my sponsor, and my spiritual director. Yes, he is trying to slap me. Yes, it is my new header.
Now, here is my confirmation saint: Ste. Jehanne-Marie d'Arc!
Might post more about the day later. I have more free time than I did during the school year. Also, sorry for that last post and its terrible quality. I was typing quickly so as to get it out of my head.
Bluegrass echos in the background mixing with the clanging of keys from my laptop keyboard. Facebook notifications ping from my phone. Noise. Sound. Fillers.
One quote that I am always reminded of when I speak to friends about prayer is a gem from St. Augustine (who usually isn't one of my favorite saints):
God speaks solely in the silence.
Ah, the fault of my current state of prayer. I constantly avoid the silence. It is covered over with anything: Bluegrass, Twitter, PINTEREST (such a love-hate relationship with this site/app), even written prayers, and spiritual reading (both great things if used to embrace, not avoid silence).
I've been running away. Don't I do that a lot? I'm restless. I constantly seek my next respite. How could I forget that only in God can I find lasting peace? I have experienced it before.
I entered into the silence, I let him love me, and he gave me rest.
Silence isn't easy. It's not supposed to be. We must face parts of ourselves and of our past that aren't so pretty. Memories come. Thoughts come. Do we stop there? Or do we battle it out so that this is not where our prayer ends?
Prayer is a battle, at least for me. I go weeks without praying sometimes, and it shows. I more readily give into the temptations that come before me. I am a real b****. No lie.
But when I do pray I rise above the expectations that I have for myself. that temptations that seemed before to be such monsters become nothing but shadows. I become a joy to others and a light in this world of darkness.
"Are we not perhaps all afraid in some way? If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to him, are we not afraid that He might take something away from us? Are we not perhaps afraid to give up something significant, something unique, something that makes life so beautiful? Do we not then risk ending up diminished and deprived of our freedom? . . . No! If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation. And so, today, with great strength and great conviction, on the basis of long personal experience of life, I say to you, dear young people: Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life. Amen." (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI)
He does not take. We give. Christ does not intrude. He allows us to enter. Christ is not forceful. Christ does not make us do things. He acknowledges our freedom. He gave us our freedom.
Therefore do not be afraid to pray. Prayer is not the monster.
My restlessness is sometimes a burden. It leads me to do crazy things. But that same restlessness led — and still leads me — to my Creator.
Stay restless.
My friend over at Oxyparadoxy is hosting a boss giveaway. Check it out and share, share, share!
This summer is proving to be the best summer ever, and it hasn't even started yet.
Hopefully, I'll be staffing a summer camp up in New Jersey (a state I have never, and had never planned to go to) for five weeks. Boys and girls ages four to thirteen staying during the day to play games and learn why we love God.
But it gets better.
This summer camp is run by the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians (more commonly know as the Salesians or "those sisters with over two thousand yo-yo's!!"), a religious community whose sole purpose is to lead youth to Jesus through Mary. I'll be living, praying, and working with these beautiful sisters. How awesome is that?!
As I prepare for this summer, I have found myself focusing more on what is to come more than what has already come. Don't get me wrong! Preparing for the future is a good and necessary thing, but when you forget things that you need to tend to in this moment.. well, there usually won't be a future if you do that.
I've said this a thousand times. We are creatures of habit. I had pushed myself into this habit long ago, and I have only noticed the gravity of it in the past few months. Now it is time to break this habit, and break open the present. (See what I did there?) I can't live in a time that hasn't even happened yet. I must live in the moment, the now, the here.
God didn't put me here just so I could focus on the future. No! He put me here because he wants me here. If God has deigned to place me here, why am I fighting it? I must — we must — embrace anything he gives us. This includes pain, suffering, waiting, and gifts.
So I am going to have an AMAZING summer, but first I must have an amazing now.
Placing you all in the tender compassion of the Two Hearts,
Your Perky Pilgrim
I lay stomach down in a sleeping bag at a retreat center in my town as I type away on my iPhone 5. I hear the air conditioner rumbling, bunk mates snoring, and plumping rattling. The retreatants will arrive tomorrow. At this time I should be asleep, but thoughts race through my head. It is almost as if I stand in the middle of a highway while cars whizz by.
My prayer is the same that it has been for months: "Reveal yourself to me."
I've lost contact. I've forgotten to touch base. I never call.
My prayer life is dry. Is it because I am in the midst of a spiritual desert? Or is it because I don't put enough into it?
Is there some magic prayer that will fix all my problems and patch up my relationship with my Creator?
I am dry.
I am empty.
I am restless.
I am here…
But he is here with me.
As we waited on the second day of the conclave for the smoke to rise, we felt a growing impatience. How much longer must we wait? Why is it taking this long?
I just want a father.
This was the cry of the Universal Church today. We longed for a father.
This was seen in the massive crowds in St. Peter's Square, in the coffee shops where people sat in anticipation, in the classrooms where students and teachers huddled around a small laptop with eyes fixed on a simple chimney. (and a seagull or three)
This was seen on social media, in the trending on Twitter, in the statuses on Facebook, and in the pictures on Instagram.
Everyone was waiting to meet Dad.
Then, the smoke began to billow out! At first, we were sure we had met disappointment. The rising smoke appeared to be black. But cheers began erupting from within the arms of the Vatican as the smoke triggered the long-awaited cries: HABEMUS PAPAM!! VIVA IL PAPA!!
But still more waiting followed. Our Holy Father was not ready to meet us yet. Neither were we. We would never be ready for the surprise that awaited us.
The lights flickered on behind the balcony.
The cheers erupted.
"Here he comes!!"
The cardinal announced, "HABEMUS PAPAM!"
A humble man walked onto the balcony. A man that no one expected.
We were used to powerhouses, like Benedict XVI and John Paul II. But from the conclave emerged him.
I think he (the pope) can be summed up in one word: humility.
He presented himself without the normal garb that we see, not because it is bad, but because it is SO good. He was reminding us that he is the "servant of the servants of God."
I will be live tweeting using the handle @theperkypilgrim and instagramming using the handle @insta_catholic. All will be live! Pray for the unborn and pray for the pilgrims. I can't wait to do these interviews!!!
The Faith of Christians. That in this Year of Faith Christians may deepen their knowledge of the mystery of Christ and witness joyfully to the gift of faith in him.
Middle Eastern Christians. That the Christian communities of the Middle East, often discriminated against, may receive from the Holy Spirit the strength of fidelity and perseverance.
Here you go, loyal followers and fellow pilgrims! http://catholic.org/hf/faith/story.php?id=48785

If you're looking for a cheap, effective and environmentally friendly way to cover your haystacks, entrepreneur Damon Carson, Denver, CO, has come up with a product that may be of interest. He's designed tarps made of recycled vinyl from advertising billboards.
Carson launched Repurposed Materials, Inc. to market the recycled vinyl about a year ago. "It's another twist on the going-green trend," says Carson, who owned a garbage collection company for eight years before starting his recycling business.
The tarps have generated interest from a variety of customer groups – boat owners wanting a way to protect their boats, auto repair firms looking to cover shop floors, photographers seeking backdrops and a few high school drama clubs in need of stage backdrops. Yet Carson says farmers and ranchers have quickly become his No. 1 market.
"These are ideal for covering a haystack," he says. Standard size is 14 x 48', with two other common sizes: 10 x 30' and 12 x 32'.
"If you need something bigger, you can join several together with a vinyl cement. They're also waterproof and multipurpose. They can be used as windscreens and/or for covering equipment."
The tarps still have the printing for whatever product was being advertised (beverages, autos, vacation destinations, etc.) on one side. The other side is either white or black. As a condition of purchase, the side with the printing on it must be placed face down when the tarp is in use.
Thickness and cost are incentives to use the recycled material, Carson says. "The tarps are heavy-duty 20 mil. The blue tarps you see at stores like Home Depot are typically 5 mil. We figure our tarps are roughly 75% less expensive than store-bought tarps of similar quality."
To learn more, visit Carson's Web site or call 303-478-6193.

Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. -- Marcus Smart was quiet and subdued as he apologized at a podium, a demeanor in stark contrast to the one that sent shockwaves through Oklahoma State's basketball program hours earlier.
Smart was suspended three games Sunday by the Big 12 for shoving a fan in the closing seconds of the Cowboys' loss at Texas Tech on Saturday night.
The conference acted swiftly in banning the All-America guard, saying in a statement the penalty was handed down for "inappropriate conduct with a spectator."
Smart apologized to the fan, his teammates and his family for his role in the altercation before coach Travis Ford expressed support for the sophomore without dismissing the severity of his actions.
"This is not how I conduct myself," said Smart, a top NBA prospect. "This is not how the program is run. This is not how I was raised. I let my emotions get the best of me. It's something I'll have to learn from, a lesson I'll have to learn from. The consequences that are coming with it -- I'm taking full responsibility. No fingers pointing -- this is all upon me."
Late in Saturday night's game at Lubbock, Texas, Smart tumbled out of bounds behind the basket after trying to block a shot. He was helped to his feet and then shoved Jeff Orr with two hands after it appeared the Red Raiders fan said something to him. Teammates quickly pulled Smart away as he pointed back and shouted in Orr's direction.
Smart will miss games against Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor. He can return for a Feb. 22 home game against Texas Tech. But Ford said Smart will be allowed to practice.
"These guys mean a lot to me, and for me not to be able to be out there with them -- it hits me in my heart," Smart said.
Texas Tech released a statement saying it conducted a thorough investigation. Orr denied making a racial slur, and Tech said the evidence backs up Orr's statement.
Orr, who goes to many Texas Tech games every year, has voluntarily agreed to not attend any Red Raiders home or away games for the remainder of the season, according to the statement.
"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere apologies to Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, Tubby Smith and the Texas Tech Men's Basketball program," Orr said in the statement. "My actions last night were inappropriate and do not reflect myself or Texas Tech -- a university I love dearly. I regret calling Mr. Smart a 'piece of crap' but I want to make it known that I did not use a racial slur of any kind."
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who is at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, condemned Smart's actions in a statement.
"Mr. Smart's actions were a clear violation of the Big 12 Conference's Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Policy," Bowlsby said. "Such behavior has no place in athletics, and will not be tolerated. I appreciate the efforts of Oklahoma State University athletics director Mike Holder in addressing this matter, and believe this is an appropriate response to an inappropriate action."
Ford said Smart already is learning from the incident.
"He understands, and we talked a lot about it, that no matter what is said or anything like that within a context of the game or life in general, whether it's the heat of the moment or no matter what it is, you've got to try to keep your composure as much as you can," Ford said.
Ford said Smart is a good teammate, "no sir, yes sir, do-whatever-you-ask-him-to-do" guy who is positive, even when he struggles.
"I hate it because he gets painted with a certain brush," Ford said. "I understand that. I get that."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Fr Dwight Longenecker on the Holy Trinity and Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life
By Fr Dwight Longenecker
May 26th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
GREENVILLE, SC (Catholic Online) -When Jesus Christ says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father, but through me" is he also pointing us toward an insight concerning the Holy Trinity and our progress in the Christian life and vocation? Here's my reasoning. The Way can, by anaology, be understood as the physical aspect of our being. It's the walk we walk. It's the life we lead. It's the body we have. It's the actions we do. It's the deeds we decide on. It's the body. The Truth can, by analogy, be understood as the mental or intellectual aspect of our being. It's the doctrine we believe. It's the philosophy we follow. It's the analysis we understand. It's the thought, the concept, the decision and the dogma. It's the head. The Life can, by analogy, be understood as the spiritual, intuitive, relational, emotional aspect of our being. It's the relationships we have. It's the emotions we feel. It's the intuitions we have. It's the life that we live. It's the compassion we feel and the love that we love. It's the heart. These three aspects, Body, Mind and Spirit make us, in an analogous sense, into little trinities. However, also in us, because of the effects of sin, those three are at war. They are discordant. They are not in harmony. The end of the Christian journey is to be fulfilled and completed, whole and in balance, to be 'self actualized', as properly understood. To become that we were intended to be. So, if these three aspects of Body, Mind and Spirit are meant to be one, when Jesus says he is Way, Truth and Life he is also saying that he is fulfillment of the Body, the Mind and the Spirit. He completes the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of who we are. Life in Christ is therefore life that is completed physically, mentally and spiritually. In Him we come to wholeness. In Him all that is lacking in body, mind and spirit is completed, purified, fulfilled and made One. The Church teaches us that what one person of the Holy Trinity does, all do. So, for example, when God spoke the world into existence he did so through the Divine Word (who was in time incarnate as the Son) and through the indwelling and overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. Likewise, at the incarnation God the Father, who begat the Son eternally, overshadows the Virgin through the power of the Holy Spirit so that the Son is enfleshed. Likewise here, the Son speaks of being the Way, the Truth and the Life and so indicates that he IS the physical aspect, the mental aspect and the Spiritual aspect of Man, and therefore One Unity. Blessed Trinity. And this is where the Holy Trinity comes in. Jesus prays in John 17 that we might be "one as he and the Father are one." That if I am Body, Mind and Spirit-a little trinity, then I am called to be three in one and one in three, total unity and total trinity. This is what I aim to become in Christ and by his grace and through his church, for through his church I am given three aspects of my redemption and sanctification. I have sacraments which minister to the Body and Doctrine which ministers to the Mind, and Grace-the infilling of the Holy Spirit, which redeems my Spirit. The Holy Trinity is therefore, not some abstruse doctrine, but a living and vital concept that renews me from within and is hidden, but revealed, within the simple gospel teaching that Christ himself is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Topic Contents
Products That Prevent Insect Bites
Topic Overview
You can lower your chance of being bitten by an insect or spiderlike animal (arachnid) by using insect repellents. Mosquitoes, biting flies, and ticks can cause annoying bites and sometimes a serious disease. Mosquito bites can spread infections such as West Nile virus, a virus that causes swelling of the brain (encephalitis), and malaria. Tick bites can cause serious diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Bites from biting flies are painful and may cause a skin infection.
You can buy many different kinds of insect repellents. Some work better than others. DEET provides the longest-lasting protection against mosquito bites.1 It is important for pregnant and nursing women to follow these tips for safe use of insect repellents. If you have a question or concern about the use of insect repellents, talk with your doctor.
Products that work the best
DEET. This repellent works the best. Insect repellents that contain DEET are available in different strengths. Research shows that DEET strengths greater than 50% do not provide much better protection than those with 30% DEET. You get about 5 hours of protection from mosquitoes when you apply an insect repellent to your skin that contains 24% DEET.2 Wrist, ankle, and neck bands that contain DEET do not work well.
Although there have been concerns about the safety of using DEET on skin, studies over the past 40 years have not shown that DEET causes cancer or other illnesses. Remember these guidelines:
- Do not use DEET on children younger than the age of 2 months.
- When applying DEET to children 2 to 24 months of age:
- Use only when there is a high risk of insect bites.
- Use repellents with the lowest concentration of DEET available (usually 5% to 10%).
- As with all insect repellents, use sparingly and never apply to the hands or near the eyes.
- Apply no more than one time per day and avoid prolonged use.
- When applying DEET to children 2 to 12 years of
- Use repellents with the lowest concentration of DEET available (usually 5% to 10%).
- Apply no more than three times per day and avoid prolonged use.
- Do not use DEET on skin that will be covered by clothing.
Other things to keep in mind when you use DEET:
- DEET reduces how well sunscreen works by one-third.3 If you need to use sunscreen and DEET at the same time, put on sunscreen first and wait 20 minutes before applying DEET. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using separate products to prevent insect bites and to protect the skin from sun damage.2 Insect repellents and sunscreens usually have different instructions for use because insect repellents do not need to be reapplied as often as sunscreen.
- Be careful if applying DEET to clothing. It can damage some man-made fabrics, such as nylon and polyester. DEET can also damage plastic watch crystals and eyeglass frames.
Picaridin (KBR 3023). Studies have shown that picaridin works as well as low concentrations of DEET and that no serious toxicity occurs to those who use it. Unlike DEET, picaridin is odorless, does not feel greasy or sticky, is less likely to irritate the skin, and does not damage plastics or fabrics.4 The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends not using picaridin on children younger than 2 months.
P-menthane 3,8-diol. This insect repellent is commonly known as lemon eucalyptus oil. When oil of lemon eucalyptus was tested against mosquitoes found in the U.S., it provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET. It provides up to 2 hours of protection against mosquito bites. Do not apply more than twice per day, and do not use this product on children younger than 3 years.
Permethrin. This insecticide works on contact to kill mosquitoes. You spray it on clothing and other fabrics, such as mosquito netting and tent walls. Permethrin should not be applied directly to the skin. Putting permethrin on clothing and applying DEET to exposed skin may offer better protection from mosquitoes than either permethrin or DEET alone. Clothes (such as pants, shirts, and hats) that are pretreated with permethrin also are available and help protect against mosquito bites.
IR3535. This repellent is a chemical similar to the amino acid alanine. Tests have shown that it can protect against mosquito bites for up to 1 hour.1
Soybean oil. Insect repellents that contain 2% soybean oil provide 1 to 4 hours of protection from mosquitoes when applied to the skin. Soybean oil is safe to use on infants and children.
Products that do not provide protection against bites for long periods of time
Citronella oil. Citronella as an insect repellent is not as safe or effective as products that contain DEET. Citronella applied to the skin provides between 30 minutes to 2 hours protection from mosquitoes. Some people develop skin rashes or itchiness when using citronella skin products because they must be reapplied often. Do not use citronella skin products on children younger than 2 years. Other kinds of citronella products, such as citronella candles and citronella wrist, neck, and ankle bands, do not prevent mosquito bites.
Other plant oils. Other plant oils, such as lavender and geranium, provide less than 30 minutes of protection against mosquitoes. So these products are not recommended.
Products sold as repellents that do not work well to prevent bites
There are other products advertised as mosquito repellents that do not effectively prevent mosquito bites. These include:
- Electronic (sometimes called ultrasonic) devices.
- Electrocuting devices, which are often called "bug zappers."
- Mosquito traps.
- Geranium house plants.
- Citronella candles.
- Taking thiamine (vitamin B1) supplements.
- Skin moisturizers that do not contain approved insect repellents.
- Wrist, ankle, and neck bands that contain repellents, such as DEET or citronella.
