Astonishing X-Men #8
As the X-Men are about to begin their search for Wing, Emma Frost and all the other telepaths are struck with severe pain before being rendered unconscious. Elsewhere two men watch as a badly damaged Sentinel they salvaged comes to life and starts moving away. Wolverine is unable to detect any form of attack that would cause the telepaths to collapse and Wing to vanish. As Scott tries to revive Emma she hears a voice taunting her and her relationship with Scott, but she doesn't awaken. Agent Brand receives word that all their taps and surveillance within the mansion are now offline but they don't know if they have been discovered by the X-Men. As the X-Men realise that they have been cut off from the outside world in everyway short of physically leaving the area Lockheed arrives and warns them that something is coming. They rush outside to find the damaged Sentinel. Whilst the X-Men engage the deranged machine, which rambles on about 'oppressors' and it's 'Lord', Kitty moves the kids to the Danger Room for safety. Scott, wanting the battle ended quickly, removes his visor and unleashes a powerful blast that sends the Sentinel flying away from the mansion. Whilst Logan and the others finish off the Sentinel, Kitty and the students discover the body of Wing. They try to leave but the exit is gone. As Kitty is about to leave to get help the dead body of Wing re-animates and begins taunting and threatening the students. Emma arrives with Hank's help as the X-Men fail to gain access to the Danger Room, she tells them that the enemy is not IN the Danger Room but that it IS the Danger Room. Characters: Cyclops (Scott Summers) Emma Frost Wolverine (James Howlett) |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We had the color changed to Ore and it was beautiful. Half our printing wasn't as good of quality as the other half, but still looked great."
"The stock paper was a thin cardboard like material which I had not expected. But to my surprise, the photo looked absolutely perfect!! It was not blurry or distorted at all, like other companies cardboard material does. The shipping came MUCH faster than advertised. And the green color I customized the bottom with is the most beautiful and perfect shade!"
"I had looked at a few websites and l really liked the format of this card with our engagement photos (because the words didn't cover either of our faces) and the text was very easy to personalize. They came in the mail the next week and we have already gotten compliments on how cute they are."
"We went very simple with this design - solid backing, and normal corners. The result is beautiful! The image we chose came out crisp, and the color is spot-on. The paper is high quality too."
"Everything about this postcard is perfect! It's simple, but clean and easily designed! The paper is thick and sturdy! The only downfall are the address lines were a bit small, but nothing that a little adjustment to the writing wouldn't fix!"

I hate to say it, but join the party. I have asked to purchase replacement items many many times, i.e. extra sets of the new style ferrules, and each time I do, Sean ignores my request also, and fails to respond. I'm sure that we are not alone. Gus... |
Oct 10, 2010, 04:24 PM | |
Thanks alot Gus. Why don't you also mention the fact that I just shipped you a brand new Slow Hawk 4 (minus only the motor and ESC) simply because you said your other new Slow Hawk "didn't fly". Whatever profit I initially made is virtually gone now from trying to take care of you.

You are right! Now I am sitting here with two Slow Hawks. One doesn't fly, and the other has a Wing Sail that doesn't match up with the power plates that you sent me! I still believe that the power plates that you sent me with both SH's are for your Park Hawk and not the Slow Hawk. If you want, I will be very happy to send both of the Slow Hawks back to you and you can give me my money back. I am just about at my ropes end with you and your promises. Say the word, and I will put both birds in the mail back to you. If you will send me a Slow Hawk 4 power plate, I will try to get the original Slow Hawk 4 flying. I see no reason to even try to get the 2nd one flying with the Wing Sail that you sent. You also have not answered the questions that I asked you in my last two e-mails. Gus... |

Thank you Sean for the flor/yellow LH wings, you have gone out your way to help some of us. You have. But what Gus said.....You Know.... Isnt All wrong and you know it. We ain't mad or nothing.(some of us aren't) We ALL know how you do. You, like all of us do, have areas for improvement and in the line of work you're in, you just happen to be in direct line of fire. Your name you made is NOT a bad one per say. It just that you have a case of C.R.S. We are like everybody here in the U.S, we want everything like yesterday. But sometimes we should have the things like yesterday & all correct... You get my drift and I'm sure you do and it not easy to swallow. I don't like it at times, but we need it from time to time. Sean try not to get too offended.. Ok? Just try like you have done before and knock everything out on time and with a measure of correctness. That's all..

Vikings Pro Bowl wide receiver Sidney Rice downplayed his hip injury when reached by phone Thursday, saying "Everything is alright. I'll be ready to go at camp."
Rice's agent Drew Rosenhaus tweeted that Rice is suffering from the lingering hip injury after rumors surfaced that his client had a groin injury that required surgery. Rice said he heard those rumors but he said he's still recovering from a hip injury that he suffered in the playoffs. Rice pulled out of the Pro Bowl because of the injury.
"We had it looked at [by doctors] and no surgery," Rice said.
Rice declined to give specifics about the nature of the injury, but he said doctors have told him to rest it as much as possible right now. He said he is mostly doing pool work but that he is able to run.
"It's not bad," he said. "Just being cautious with it. I can run. I'm jogging and sprinting. I'm just not doing a lot of cutting and different things like that. The doctors feel this is the best thing."
Rosenhaus tweeted that Rice "is hopeful that he will be fully healthy for the start of the season." That raised questions about whether he will be ready by the start of training camp July 30. Rice said he doesn't anticipate any problems.
"I'll be ready to buckle it up at the start," he said. "We'll just watch it as camp goes on. But I'll be ready."

Liner Notes
"The spot was on 47th Street, just off Times Square around the corner from the old club Kentucky, The scene was a shoot for a Great Performance Documentary on the life and music of Duke Ellington. On the set were musicians, dancers, engineers and a few invited guests. Ready, on 5,4,3 within moments the heat and energy generated by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra had dancers shaking and the rest of the crowd screaming and hollering. The smell of a good, hot summer dance filled the air and the cameramen, engineers, musicians, friends and invited guests heard Illinois Jacquet reminisce about the old days and how filling a room with that much love was a regular occurrence among the many couples swinging, flirtation was brewing.
Taking music recorded at a TV session and preparing it for commercial release was not something we ever had in mind when we began this project, however, the exceptional feeling generated by these sessions in late August of 1998 warranted the release of the music. After nearly five months of touring, the Lincoln Center Jazz orchestra was relaxed and ready to swing. Combined with the talented pianist Cyrus Chestnut, Guest singers Dianne Reeves and Milt Grayson, and tenor saxophone great, Illinois Jacquet, those dancers couldn't help but swing."

Inside Story: US 2012Obama hounded by conspiracy theories Lies and half-truths are nothing new in US elections but why is this cycle seeing new lows in campaign standards? 31 Aug 2012 12:12 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Kenya, United States The title 2016: Obama's America – Love him, Hate him, You don't know him is for a film based on a book by Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative author who says he is showing Americans what truly motivates the US president and what to expect if he is re-elected. "[The Republicans] are painting Obama as an outsider and as un-American… one of the reasons this works is that people have retreated into media camps, they only watch, read media that confirms their existing biases, and increasingly the media in this country has become partisan." - Rob Lorei, the director of news, WMNF Tampa D'Souza travels to Kenya to seek out what shaped Barack Obama. He concludes that the president was so hurt by his father's abandonment that he has adopted Barack Obama Senior's anti-colonialist views. As a result, says the author, the US president has been working to undermine US power through excessive government spending and reducing its military might.Among other things, the film also claims that if Obama is re-elected it will lead to a United States of Islam.Conspiracy theories questioning whether Obama is a "real" American have surrounded the president since his 2008 presidential campaign.Among the so-called 'birther' movement which claims that Obama was not born in the US and is, therefore, an illegitimate president. A poll released by the Pew Forum last month on Religion and Public Life shows that 17 per cent of Americans believe that he is Muslim.Just a few weeks ago during a television interview, a local judge from Texas warned that if Obama is re-elected, there would be civil war in the US, and that the president would have UN troops take over the country. "The case that D'Souza lays out [in his film] is so paltry, so thin it's based on minutiae and claims that don't really stack up under any scrutiny whatsoever that when all that falls apart what you're left with is just the cynical manipulation of the audience." - Simon Maloy, a progressive media analyst In a speech at the Republican convention on Wednesday Paul Ryan, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, falsely accused Obama of slashing funding for Medicare and gave a misleading account of the closure of the General Motors plant in his hometown, Janesville."When he [Obama] talked about change, many people liked the sound of it especially in Janesville, where we were about to lose a major factory… Well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year. It is locked up and empty to this day."Inside Story: US 2012 asks: Has Obama been a greater target of lies and conspiracies than other US presidents?Joining presenter Shihab Rattansi for the discussion are guests: Rob Lorei, the director of news and public affairs for WMNF, a Tampa community radio station; Kathryn Olmsted, the author of Real Enemies: Conspiracy Theories and American Democracy, World War I to 9/11; and Simon Maloy, a research fellow with Media Matters for America, a web-based not-for-profit US media monitor. "Throughout American history there have been concerns that there would be un-Americans who would sneak into and infiltrate the US government, so this [current campaign] is nothing new… What's different about this is that it's a different dimension because that it does involve race." Kathryn Olmsted, a professor of history In one of many conspiracy theories surrounding Obama, Wayne LaPierre, the vice-president of the National Rifle Association, said at a recent Conservative Political Action Conference: "We see the president's strategy crystal clear. Get re-elected, and with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom."Source: Al Jazeera

Bluetooth held great promise when it first appeared on the scene, but its Achilles Heel has always been long distance. Beyond ten meters, and certainly around 30 meters, the sound can be unreliable. If you're an audiophile, you wouldn't build a whole-house audio solution around Bluetooth. Even AirPlay locks you in to Apple devices and supported apps.
If you are looking for a great deal on a quality pair of high performance, bass-pumping on-ear headphones, look no further than Wicked Audio's Evac available at Amazon for as low as $20.00. These headphones are extremely affordable and deliver surprisingly clear and crisp sound. In fact for the price, the Evacs are hard to beat!

I used to start out just about every review of an online game making some sort of comment about how I don't really like online games. I'm beginning to think that's not really the case. What I don't like are games where if you're not in the "elite" you're pretty much dead when you step out on the battlefield. I also don't care for games where people pretty much expect you to chat or make the game as much about taunting as actually playing. Thankfully The Rats Online (free with IAP) handles all of these things in just the right manner. Its simple nature makes it easy to get into, and the nicely organized list of folks you need to exact revenge on makes it worth coming back in periodically to see how things are going.
I recently discovered Quingo, a trivia game that offers a bunch of twists. Of course you have to answer trivia questions, but there are also objectives to meet. Each question has five correct answers, and you have to identify them quickly, out of a pool of as many as 25 potential answers. There is also a time element as well as "power ups" or "cheats" that you can earn to build your score.
The iPad and tablet computing revolution is changing not only how we work and play, but also how we live—as we decorate our workplaces and homes with functional yet stylish furniture designs to match this new lifestyle. While several manufacturers have produced iPad stands and holders that bring the iPad and iPad Mini up to hands-free eye level, none of them have yet made an elegant piece of furniture intended for the living room or bedroom with just as much importance as a floor lamp or table. The Flote m2 Floor Stand intends to change that perception. Read on to see if it succeeds.
Searching for the best iPad reviews, news or tips and tricks on accessories, apps, gadgets and more is just as important as figuring which apple product you should get in the first place. iPad reviews and news on different products allow you to make a more conscientious decision, but where should you look. Here at iPhone Life Magazine we work towards answering these very questions. This page is dedicated to iPad reviews, news, tips and tricks. This is just one example of a review that we have online (The Green Figure iHolder iPad Stand).
Another great thing about doing research is that sometimes you will find something that you weren't looking for and that can help you. For example, our page on The Best of 2011 shows our reviews for some of the best products that came out this past year. This link gives you just a taste of some of the concrete examples of reviews that we do.
Now, the iPad 2 has been around for several months and there have been several companies that have based themselves around the needs of this tablet. However, it is still a competitive world in the market of accessories. Anyone could be easily overwhelmed by all the available stands, apps, cases or any of the other niche markets. We would definitely recommend doing some research and checking out some iPad reviews to get an idea of whats available and how you are going to use your device. The market has several options to choose from today.
Such examples as IK Multimedia, have been on a roll lately, with a slew of hardware and software products tailored for amateur and prosumer musicians. Whether its stands and clips for iPhones and iPads or multitrack recording and sampling software for the iOS platform, IK has been expanding their catalog at a prodigious rate. Their latest releases include a MIDI hardware connector for the iOS platform, a sound sampler app and a iPad version of their popular VocaLive software. These iPad reviews will take a closer look at each.
Whatever you may be searching for, we too are looking for answers and want to help you find them.

Citi Field, New York, New York
NEW YORK -- Brett Myers pitched at least six innings again, Carlos Lee homered off Johan Santana again and two of the few remaining veterans on the young Astros gave Houston a team first: a win at Citi Field.
Lee also drove in a run in a two-run first inning, and that was all the Astros really needed to beat the New York Mets 4-1 Saturday night."Today, facing Santana, you know he kind of got a tough first inning and we took advantage, scored two runs, took the lead," Lee said. "Every time you got a lead with Myers going out there, you know it's basically guaranteed he's going to go seven. So you know, you feel pretty good."The Mets have four hits in 34 at-bats with runners in scoring position in the last five games, for a .118 average. David Wright hit an RBI single in the eighth.Mets blog

Astros closer Matt Lindstrom still has a stiff back and his scheduled bullpen session was pushed back. Astros manager Brad Mills said Lindstrom will be evaluated daily to see if he's ready to throw. ... Houston INF Jeff Keppinger (left big toe) is expected to play a rehab game at Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday. INF Geoff Blum rejoined the Astros after missing three days with neck discomfort.

Sidewalks are for pedestrianSubmitted by Guest421 (not verified) on Wed, 08/10/2011 - 1:32pm.
Sidewalks are for pedestrian traffic. They should be free of obsticles, including tables with sale items, benches, and yes, planters and TREES. Make it a law and enforce it. If the owner fails to cooperate, simply remove the obsticle and dispose of it. I know this stuff looks cute and quaint, but sidewalks are for people. »

UpdatePros: same Cons: I ended up commandeering my Arctic Cooling Accelero cooler off my old 6670 with an artcic cooling 120mm fan that I wire-tied onto it. Other Thoughts: To guy below me. I have the HP Pavilion a6242n and tried to put a HD 5450 in and it would display anything, but booted up. I then realized that the AMD 5xxx series or newer use the PCIe 2.1 and you'll need a motherboard that supports it. Usually boards 2009 or newer. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Very Quiet Cons: None yet. Other Thoughts: Seen a lot of people complain about the fan noise. When running at load they can be loud but with MSI's Afterburner you have total control of how loud they get. Did you find this review helpful? |
AWESOME!!!!Pros: HD 7750 is best card without extra power connectors! Cons: Fans are a little noisy, but aren't all stock ones? Put on an Arctic Cooling Accelero fanless and heat stays below 70C at all times under extreme loads.

I use window 8 with ALL of the Microsoft drivers from windows update. Did you find this review helpful? |

Federal regulators are considering allowing public companies to choose between international and U.S. accounting standards for reporting their financial results, a move that could bring a seismic shift in corporate reckoning.
The leaders of the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday asked the Treasury Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for analysis of legislation that would raise taxes on private equity funds going public, like Blackstone Group.
Well folks, I've never thought I'd utter this phrase: I am a murder suspect. But, truth be told, I apparently am. This according to World Wrestling Entertainment, who gave me this statement when I called them yesterday to answer whether they were irresponsible in issuing a news release that "Mr. McMahon" was "presumed dead" after his limo was blown up last Monday. Here's what they sent me:
Dan Pedrotty, director of the AFL-CIO's Office of Investment, told CNBC's "Morning Call" that Blackstone Group should be required to register as an investment company before launching its IPO.
Blackstone Group's much-awaited initial public offering is set for the week of June 25, underwriters said.
The Bush administration rejected a Securities and Exchange Commission recommendation in a key Supreme Court case and did not support shareholders suing Wall Street banks for damages over Enron's collapse.
U.S. securities regulators are planning to fine Nortel Networks up to $100 million for accounting fraud, Bloomberg reported on its Web site on Friday.
IBM misled investors by overestimating the impact of stock-based compensation expenses on quarterly earnings in 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said.
There is a multibillion-dollar gap between what public companies book as expenses for their executives' stock options and what they report to the IRS under two different sets of rules, according to Senate investigators and a key senator who is seeking to change the reporting system.
In court documents filed in New York, the SEC alleged that Barclays and Steven Landzberg, the former head proprietary trader for Barclays' U.S. distressed debt desk, illegally traded millions of dollars of bond securities between March 2002 and September 2003.
The U.S. securities regulator is probing whether two Dow Chemical executives engaged in unauthorized talks to sell the company, according to a source close to the matter.
General Motors said that U.S. government officials have requested documents relating to its accounting of derivatives and said its exposure to bankrupt auto parts maker Delphi was probably $7 billion.
Hewlett-Packard should have disclosed the reason one of its directors resigned in the midst of the company's boardroom spying scandal last year, federal regulators said Wednesday.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved new guidance to help companies comply with what critics say is a burdensome and costly provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reform law.
The effort to require hedge funds to register just doesn't die. After the court struck down the Securities and Exchange Commission's mandate to require registration, Sen. Charles Grassley picked up the torch. But Senator, consider the comments of the US Attorney for the State of Connecticut.
Two funds are leading a charge to overturn the rules that require them to file quarterly holdings information, maintaining that such disclosures are trade secrets.
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox said he has ordered the creation of a new office that will work full-time to return funds to investors harmed by stock fraud.
Apple's annual shareholder meeting was short on news, but long on drama with several investors grilling the Apple directors who did show up with questions about the stock options backdating scandal.Apple's entire directors' slate was re-elected, as expected. None of the shareholder resolutions passed, as expected.The fireworks and interesting nuggets came during the shareholder question-and-answer session.This is the first paragraph/short story.
Thursday of this week will be an unusual day for the world of tech. Both Apple and Google will each hold their annual shareholders meetings within ten miles and a few hours of each other. Tech's top two names will speak directly to their shareholders, yet the meetings may have decidedly different tones.

His despairing trainer can't believe he really means it this time, but Kosuke has another chance at success and seems ready to take it.
Manga creator Rumiko Takahashi is better known to American fans for her lighthearted romantic fantasies Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2, but her heart lies in exploring offbeat events and relationships in the real world, and this is a good example.

Thomas Hand — college student, outdoor enthusiast, mechanical whiz kid — is a chronic tinkerer. The son of a car dealership owner, Hand knows his way around an engine. He also knows that we're living during a time of higher and higher fuel prices and gas guzzling SUV's. That's why the 21- year-old's tinkering has led him probing into diesel engines to figure out how to get them to run on used vegetable oil.
Hand's first experience with this by-product of French fries was two years ago during a workshop on converting tractors to run on veggie oil. Part way into the workshop, Hand understood more about the conversion process than his teachers. So he taught the whole class and then converted the tractor himself. "I definitely grew up tinkering with things," Hand says to explain this particular achievement.
The Middlebury College student knew he was onto something after his workshop. Along with some friends, including NOLS grads Lindsey Corbin (Owyhee Backpacking and River in 2001) and Logan Duran (Semester in the Pacific Northwest in 2001), Hand decided to try a new twist on the summer road trip in 2003. He converted an old school bus to run on veggie oil and then the team of students set off for the summer in search of some good rock climbing. By way of coincidence and a little planning, Hand had also signed up for a NOLS North Cascades Mountaineering course that summer. Now he had a ride.
On its way across the country, Project Bio Bus - the hand-painted school bus filled the air with the distinct smell of fast food. Along with veggie fumes, the bus also generated more attention than the group expected. The team had one day with 20,000 hits on its website, a full-page article in USA Today, live interviews on CNN, even an article in the Moscow Times.
The summer ended happily. Hand arrived at his NOLS course prepared and psyched, and the students' bus found a new home in California with the bluegrass band "Hot Buttered Rum."
This summer, Hand returned to his engine tinkering, this time with the 34-foot NOLS On the Road: Finding Tomorrow's Leaders Bus. Hand was on the scene in Lander, Wyoming to convert the NOLS bus, which is now touring the country promoting NOLS and leadership. "I loved it," Hand says of the conversion. "The bus was a challenge. I had never worked on a bus like that. The hardest thing was trying to make a system that's relatively easy to use, and trying to tell other people how to use it."
Hand liked Wyoming. And he especially enjoyed being part of what he considers a big step for NOLS.
"NOLS is a very big advocate of backcountry LNT," Hand explains. "But I think with the way our environmental problems are going, a lot of what we're facing is more global. With what NOLS does we're controlling regional pollution, but there's not as much value in that on a global scale. But [with the bus project] NOLS is taking a step toward reducing global pollution. It's the next big step, and it's a lot harder to make."
Hand doesn't think most Americans realize how veggie oil can reduce smog and CO2 in the atmosphere, and he hopes his conversions have done something to change that. "If people are aware that there are alternatives out there, they're more likely to use them."
For most Americans, the words "veggie oil" stir up images of French fries and stir fry, but the idea of putting this product into diesel engines is slowly spreading. In the last three years, there's been over 100% increase in the use of veggie oil for fuel, mostly in the form of a product called biodiesel, which is chemically altered veggie oil that can operate an engine non-stop (versus straight veggie oil that kicks in after an engine has been started with diesel). According to the National Biodiesel Board, 500,000 gallons of biodiesel was sold in the U.S. in 1999; in 2003 that sales figure rose to an estimated 25 million gallons of the alternative fuel.
Hand still has over a year left at Middlebury College, but this fall he's returned to the road, joining a group of Middlebury students on another Project Bio Bus trip touring schools to teach about alternative fuels. As a natural leader, Hand says his NOLS "Expedition Behavior" skills come in handy during the long days on the road. Along with NOLS grad Charles Acker (Waddington Range Mountaineering in 2004), Hand runs group meetings each day, just like they did at NOLS. "Everyone has to get along really well," he says of the new tour. "We're 12 people working on a big bus, which isn't that big with 12 people on it."
The college student says he'll go back to school in the spring. His natural engineering abilities have already won him job offers at large corporations, but for now Hand has a very big message he wants people across the country to hear.
"Unless we as a planet work a little bit harder on global climate change," Hand muses, "I'm not sure there will be many NOLS mountaineering courses in 50 years. Unless we make a front country effort, there's not going to be a lot of the backcountry stuff we enjoy. It won't be there."

ST. LOUIS (RNS) For 18 years, the Rev. William Rowe has done a little improvising while celebrating Mass on Sunday mornings at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Mount Carmel, Ill.
Now those deviations have led to his resignation in an incident that may be tied to global changes to the Catholic liturgy.
On Jan. 29, instead of saying "Lord our God that we may honor you with all our mind and love everyone in truth of heart," during the opening prayer, he altered the phrasing to better reflect the day's Gospel message, in which Jesus heals a man with a troubled spirit.
"We thank you, God, for giving us Jesus who helped us to be healed in mind and heart and proclaim his love to others," the 72-year-old priest prayed instead.
Three days later, Rowe received a letter from Bishop Edward Braxton of Belleville, Ill., accepting his resignation.
"The problem is that when I pray at Mass, I tend to change the words that are written in the book to match what I was talking about, or what a song is about," Rowe said in an interview.
The book in question is the Roman Missal, a book of prayers, chants and responses used during the Mass. Rowe has been saying some of those prayers in his own words for years.
But last December, the Vatican-mandated adoption of a new English-language translation of the missal may have given bishops an opportunity to rein in freewheeling priests who have been praying in their own words for decades.
"Since December when the new translation came out, no one has said what would happen to you if you changed stuff," said the Rev. John Foley, director of the Center for Liturgy at St. Louis University.
"But I find it hard to believe a priest in Illinois would be forced to resign because he wasn't using the exact words from the translation. It's not a strong enough offense for that."
In the wake of sweeping changes in the church as a result of the Second Vatican Council, some priests in the 1970s began using their own words and phrasing in place of the verbatim translations of the original Latin liturgy in the missal, Foley said. He said there has never been an established penalty for improvising nonalterable prayers, and bishops have traditionally looked past an individual priest's extemporizing.
Monsignor Kevin Irwin, professor of liturgical studies at the Catholic University of America, said there are some prayers said by a priest at Mass in which he is "beholden to the structure, not to the words."
But there are also prayers that priests are "duty-bound to say," said the Rev. John Baldovin, professor of historical and liturgical theology at Boston College. Most of the prayers in the missal, in fact, are not optional, he said.
Rowe said his previous bishop, Wilton Gregory, had discussed his off-the-cuff prayer habit with him, referring to the practice as "pushing the envelope." He said five years ago, Braxton also discussed the matter with him, and asked him to read directly from the missal.
"I told him I couldn't do that," Rowe said. "That's how I pray."
Last summer, Rowe said, the bishop made it clear to his priests that "no priest may deviate from any wording in the official missal."
Braxton did not respond to a request for an interview with the Post-Dispatch.
In October, two months ahead of the introduction of the new missal translation, Braxton said he couldn't permit Rowe to continue improvising, according to Rowe. The priest offered his resignation but didn't receive a response.
On Monday, Braxton wrote Rowe a letter informing him that he'd accepted his resignation.
The action did not sit well with the nearly 500 families at St. Mary's.
"The ways Father changed the Mass ritual with his words have only made it more meaningful to us as opposed to distancing us from the church," said Alice Wirth, principal at St. Mary's School.
"Everything he does is based on our faith; it's not just a whim. There's a reason for every word he prays."
(Tim Townsend writes for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in St. Louis.)
