Wind: 3 mph
November 22, 2006
By Lisa Loomis
The issue of how and whether to see that the town's zoning is enforced in the matter of a construction trailer that has been in Waitsfield for three years, is before the Waitsfield Select Board.
At issue is a trailer, currently being used as an office at Jakes' World Auto in Waitsfield Village. The trailer has been on the site for over three years. During part of that time, business owner Jake Cady was seeking town permits to build a permanent office at his car repair and sales business.
The select board discussed the trailer at its last meeting on November 13 and resolved to look into the history of the trailer and whether or not the town had or had not issued a notice of violation.
Waitsfield zoning administrator David Jescavage researched the issue, (which predates him and runs backwards through two other zoning administrators plus twice-interim zoning administrator Blaine Laskowski) and found a June 16, 2006 certified letter from then zoning administrator Cindy Tyminsky informing Cady that the trailer is in violation of the town's zoning.
Tyminsky, in her letter notes that based on information available to the town, Cady is in violation of the ordinance, pointing out that she discussed the matter with him prior to issuing the letter and received no response from him. The construction trailer, she wrote, was allowed based on temporary permits that were issued and allowed him two years to complete his construction and permitting.
"Additionally, you have realized a third year by retaining this trailer an additional 12 months without the benefit of a permit," she wrote.
Tyminsky went on to note that Cady had seven days from the date of the June 16 letter to 'discontinue this violation and take immediate remedial action.' Specifically she pointed out that the illegal construction trailer must be removed and added that 'if you do not accomplish the actions directed in this letter within seven days of the date of this letter, a violation will be issued. The town may be entitled to seek appropriate injunctive relief and fines of up to $100 per day for each day of your violation."
Jescavage said that the decision of how to proceed with the violation is up to the select board because for the town to move further would mean involving the town's attorney. Town administrator Valerie Capels said that before the select board takes that step, the town wanted to talk to Cady about the situation.
"We're more interested in having the ordinance enforced than in going to court," she said.
Cady's trailer was leftover from a failed attempt to build a 2,384 square foot office/showroom building adjacent to and attached to the existing garage bays at Jake's World Auto in Waitsfield Village. The Waitsfield Zoning Board of Adjustment denied Cady's request last year in November.
Cady and his attorney David Olenick asked the zoning board of adjustment to consider the new structure to be part of the existing building's second floor. Waitsfield's zoning for the Irasville Commercial District calls for all new construction to include a second story. Cady and Olenick argued that connecting the new construction to the existing building constitutes an expansion of the second story of the existing building.
In the Cady decision, Cady was denied permission to build a showroom/office area for his auto repair and sales business. His existing building sits on .71 acre and is 3,984 square feet. Waitsfield's zoning calls for new construction in the Irasville District to have a minimum building height of two stories above grade. "The project also does not comply with the two story dimensional standard requirement for the Irasville District in Table 2.3D," the ZBA wrote in its denial.
"Specifically, the Board rejects the applicant's argument that the proposed building constitutes an addition to the second story of the existing building. The proposed building (or building addition) is located on a separate foundation and is not configured to be located "between the surface of any floor and the surface of the next floor or ceiling above it." The proposed building would have both the function and appearance of a single-story building and is therefore prohibited within the Irasville Village District," the board reasoned.

Organizing a fitness focused Kickboxing class for untrained students
I've recently been given the responsibility of organizing and facilitating a fitness-based student club for students at my university. My first thought was that I would teach Muay Thai as a fitness activity. In other words, focusing heavily on drills (sparring is officially a no-no) as the medium for exercise. I've coached muay thai 1-on-1 for probably 5 years, but I've never done group classes. I'm a little unsure as to my methodology for organizing and controlling the class, not to mention teaching complete beginners and keeping them from being bored.
If anybody here has organized/taught Muay Thai to 8-16 people before, I'd appreciate any advice you could give about types of drills and general methodology. If you have any websites or books to recommend, I'd be happy to do some reading/watching as well.
Thanks.Tough is not how you act, tough is how you train.
The search function fails me again, but we had an excellent thread about drills a while ago that you might find useful.

Style: Kickboxin & Shootfightin--
Its going to depend on your personality a bit.
Do you have the kind of personality to pull of the "sadistic but fun instructor screamin at the class to werk harder!!! and somehow making it seem like a good idea" ?? or the "joking but sweatin and encouraging while generally having fun and thereby making it fun for the class" type of personality. Those are the basic personality types that seem to be the most enjoyable in a class/instructor type senario. Maybe an aerobics instructor or similar would a be a good model?? and just adapt to fit in partner drills on pads??
1% Shark is better than you.

PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
This is what we do in my club for beginners.
1. Run around the mat / circumfrence of the martial arts room. throw in jumping squats during runs, pushups. Then run sideways with guard up, then run knees to chest, then run foot to butt, then run backwards. Spend about 3-6 mins doing this.
2. Quick but good and comprehensive stretch
2.5 sometimes we do flexibility kicks
3. Immediately get into shadowboxing. Stress that you have to push push push yourself during shadowboxing. I usually do straight punches, all punches, just kicks, then kicks and punches. If your students are all new, then you will have to spend this time teaching technique. I recommend you start with footwork and jabs.. If some of them ar enew and others are not, then I quickly show the new guys something really basic, and tell them to do it all of the rounds.
4. After that, we either learn a new technique, go straight into sparring, or go into padwork.
5. If we did technique, we up the resistence level and make it look a little bit more like sparring. If we did padwork, we build up on the combinations and start adding more stuff.
6. After all that, we do pushups, sitsups, other ab excercises, monkey shitter jumping squats, bicycles, leg lifts, whatever comes to your mind. My personal fav is to do 20 pushups, then do abs, then do 20 wide pushups, do more abs, 10-15 narrow pushups, more abs (each ab excercise must cover sometihng ab it different), then end with 50 jumping squats. Sometimes I replace all that with a good tabata drill.
7. closing pep talk and putting away equipment.
Thats basically our general member practice schedule at my university. Good luck, I hope your university starts okaying sparring. At my school, we never really talked about it and now they don't seem to care much.www.pdsrifles.com Add us on facebook!

New Missal Survey Shows Most Priests Dissatisfied
Rita Ferrone May 21, 2013 - 3:33pm
The closer you get, the worse it looks.That seems to be the takeaway from a collection of surveys over the past year intended to gauge the response of Catholics to the new English translation of the Roman Missal. The controversial new English translation of the Roman Missal had its debut at the end of 2011, amid doubts of its ability to gain wide appeal. Give it a chance its advocates advised, youll get used to it.
A year later, when a CARA survey reported that 70% of lay Catholics in America agreed with the statement that The new translation is a good thing, it seemed these predictions were justified. To say that the translation is a good thing might seem to be a rather lukewarm endorsement, but these results were positive enough to be encouraging. Online polls conducted around the same time however revealed a more troubling picture, showing considerably more negative opinion, especially among priests, who arguably have the greatest investment in the new translation because of their role in the daily celebration of the liturgy. They use the Missal every day, and know its pluses and minuses better than anyone.
- The Tablet found that clergy gave the new translation very negative marks. Of the 1189 clergy who participated, 70% were unhappy with the translation and wished to see it revised. In a strange twist, considerable numbers of respondents who preferred the Extraordinary Form (which is in Latin) took the survey. 94% of them approved of the new translation. But 57% of those who preferred the Ordinary Form disliked it.
- US Catholic polled more than 1200 priests in a reader survey, and found that 58% agreed with the statement: I dislike the new translations and still cant believe Ill have to use them for the foreseeable future. 49% of Catholics in the pews also registered unhappiness with the translation whereas only 17% said they enjoy them as much as or more than the old translation.
Observers have taken the more critical Tablet and US Catholic results with a grain of salt. Yes, they indicate dissatisfaction, and especially strong dissatisfaction among clergy, but how reliable are these polls?
The results of a new study, released today, sets our knowledge of the opinions of priests on a firmer footing.
The survey is narrowly focused on the opinion of priests in the United States. It shows that priests are sharply divided, with a clear majority disliking the new translation and calling for its revision.
The specific findings are striking. 59% of priests do not like the new translation, compared with 39% who do. An overwhelming 80% agree that some of the language is awkward and distracting. 61% think the translation needs urgently to be revised. In what is perhaps the most timely element, 61% of priests do not want the rest of the liturgical books to be translated in the same manner. The process of retranslating the Liturgy of the Hours and the rites of the Sacraments is currently underway.
Jeffrey Tucker of Chant Caf, who likes the new texts and was initially surprised by the results, speculated that a generational split might account for the negative opinions: "They came to terms with one way, received vast amounts of catechesis along these lines, and developed a more casual liturgical style to go along with it, and now they are told to do it another way. This creates a real tension: am I supposed to speak in the language of the people or not?"
Other commenters, however, felt that the negative evaluation was not so much fueled by resistance to change as by resistance to making the prayers of the Mass more awkward. Fr. Michael Ryan of Seattle, founder of the website What if we just said wait? noted that the proportion of discontent revealed in the Diekmann survey contrasts sharply with reactions to the introduction of English into the Mass following Vatican II. "These results are a far cry from the way priests and people reacted when the Mass in English was first introduced in the late 1960s," Ryan said, A survey taken at that time indicated that 85-87% of Catholics (and especially parish priests) preferred the new Mass to the old (Mark Massa, SJ, Worship 81 (2007), p. 122).
A preconceived bias against the texts also would not account for another interesting finding: 15% of those who had looked forward to the new Missal ended up disliking it. By comparison, only 10% grew to like it through the process of using it.All 178 Latin Rite dioceses in the US were invited to participate in the survey and, of these, 32 from all geographical regions of the country chose to take part. A total of 1,536 priests (diocesan and religious) responded, a response rate of 42.5%.
The survey was conducted under the auspices of the Godfrey Diekmann, OSB, Center for Patristics and Liturgical Studies at St. Johns University School of Theology-Seminary, in Collegeville MN. The project manager was Chase Becker, assisted by Audrey Seah and Christine Condyles, and advised by Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, with the aid of Dr. Pamela Bacon, a professional consultant.
More than half of the respondents submitted written comments, a total of 799 comments. These covered a wide variety of subjects, including aesthetics, grammar and syntax, reception by their people, translation principles, ecclesiastical process, vocabulary, theological content, book format, and music. In these comments, critique of the Missal outweighed affirmation by a four to one margin. The full text of the comments can be found here.
Two questions about process, unique to this survey, also showed sobering results. More than half (55%) of the respondents are not confident that priests views of the translation will be taken seriously. Nearly half (49%) do not approve of the role of the Holy See in bringing the new translation about, compared with 39% who do.
Fr. Edward Foley, Capuchin, professor at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, said, "The most disappointing result of this survey for me is that most priests doubt that their views about the translation will be seriously addressed; on the other hand, this too is not surprising since they were never consulted in the first place." Peter Jeffery, professor of medieval studies and theology at Notre Dame, asked: "Why did 82.1% of dioceses decide not to forward this survey to their priests? Do they think it is better not to know what priests think?" Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth, executive director of ICEL questioned the representative value of the responses, pointing out that the respondents constitute less than 3.7% of priests in the US. Without some indication of selection bias, however, the sample size would not seem to indicate that the survey is weak. The CARA survey concerning the Missal, for example, had 1,239 participants, a much smaller fraction of the total Catholic population which the survey is presumed to represent.
For those priests who are well satisfied with the new translation, its daily use has been rewarding. For the majority, however, it has been a burden and a source of discouragement. On an even deeper level, the conflict they experience has serious ramifications. As Fr. Anthony Cutcher, president of the National Federation of Priests Councils observed: "The Eucharistic liturgy and the ability to celebrate it well is at the core of a priest's identity. With the promulgation of the Third Roman Missal, we priests have been placed in an untenable position, forced to choose between fidelity to the magisterium and feeding our people."
When a majority of priests are unhappy about something as important as the Missal, the situation calls for creative leadership and constructive responses. It is not clear, however, whether those in positions of authority are either ready or willing to respond. Msgr. Rick Hilgartner, director of the office of the BCDW at the USCCB, declined to comment for this story, as did Bishop Gregory Aymond, chair of the BCDW, and Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, incoming chair of the BCDW. Not replying to a request for comment were: Bishop Arthur Seratelli, former chair of the BCDW and current chair of ICEL; Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the USCCB; Cardinal Francis George, former USCCB president under whom the implementation date was set; Cardinal George Pell, chair of Vox Clara; Msgr. Jim Moroney, executive secretary of Vox Clara; and Fr. Dennis McManus, advisor to Vox Clara. Reactions to the survey were provided by Bishop Robert Brom of San Diego, Father Anthony Cutcher of the National Federation of Priests' Councils, Fr. Edward Foley, Capuchin of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Peter Jeffery of Notre Dame, Fr. Michael Ryan of Seattle, Jeffery Tucker of Chant Cafe, Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth of ICEL, Fr. Mark Wedig OP of Barry University, And Bishop Donald Trautman, retired bishop of Erie. The full text of their comments is available here.
Commenting Guidelines
dont understand. Are you saying that a survey is true, or scientific, when it rings true?
No, I meant that claims of generalizability are frought with difficulty. We can be embroiled in a lot of methodological issues as a result. I am not saying that this is not important. Very few studies claim generalizability for this reason. You select your representative sample. However, getting results, for a variety of reasons is not always possible. And even if you do, there is often criticism of the way questions are asked, etc.I think, in this instance, what occurred is appropriate. Publish your results, the sample, respondents and results and let other make inferences around the reliability of the survey in terms of how accurate it is.One way to do that, is to hold a focus group (even a virtual one) like is being held here on this site and maybe even on conservative sites. If you don't hear people saying, gee that seems counter-intuitive to what I experience, then there may indeed be a problem. If you hear people, like Fr. K, surprised that so many like the translation and other priests criticizing specific selections, then you can conclude, I think, that the results are fairly reliable and accurate.I am not saying true or accurate or valid in a social science sense but accurate, true and reliable in terms of assessing clergy's general view of the missal.The point is that the leadership of whoever is responsible for the translation and promulgation is going to have to do some re(thinking) or at least respond in some fashion. Maybe it is just an issue of people getting used to it, maybe it is an issue of difficulty with change, maybe it is an issue with the translation itself or all of the above.At any rate, I don't think that attacking the methodology of the survey or calling it into question is really and honest response. I think, instead, acknowledging that, not withstanding whatever methodological issues you may have, it is more or less an accurate reflection.It is a judgement of the data as presented.
"The new translation is not good. What does it mean that lay Catholics mostly find that the new translation is good? It reveals that theyre not listening. That may be the takeaway message. Of course, at some level we knew that"Right. It may also reveal that the laity view the text of the mass differently than liturgical or linguistics specialists. It may also reveal that some of the objections to the new missal are overblown. That collect for this coming Sunday that I typed into a comment above - it may not be Shakespeare, and it may not be 100% theologically sound, but really, for someone with a reasonable command of English* it's not insurmountably difficult to read or understand - or speak. To be sure, it requires more effort and concentration than the previous version, which was broken up into shorter, simpler sentences. So the new translation is harder. Still, my observation is that it almost always comes off without a hitch.* Quite a few priests in the US have a fairly tenuous grasp of English, and the long and complex sentences in the new translation do them no favors. We have a guy whose first language is Spanish; and I've noticed that there are some texts that pair "inheritance" and "heirs". What to do with the "h" in that pair of words gives him trouble.
George D,I still don't understand. Why bother making the survey? Wouldn't focus groups be easier? And if they are the criterion by which you judge surveys, more accurate?
I realize that we are moving on two tracks here: the survey itself and the collect for Trinity Sunday.The thread on the "Pray Tell" site (linked by Jim) has an interesting discussion. In the course of which the translation that was made in 1998 and did not receive Roman approval is given:"God our Father,you revealed the wonderful mystery of the Godheadby sending into the worldthe Word who speaks all truthand the Spirit who makes us holy.Grant that we may proclaim the fullness of faithby acknowledging and worshippingthree Persons, eternal in glory,one God of majesty and power."
Fr. Imbelli, now after living with the new translation for some time, I certainly find the full stop in the middle of the prayer jarring.
Its not accurate to say that the laity who approve of the translation of the new Roman Missal are simply not listening. I heard Anthony Esolen, a professor of English at Providence College, deliver a talk on the new translation in December of 2011 just before the changes were to take effect in parishes. Dr. Esolen, who has translated Dantes "Divine Comedy", Lucretius "De rerum natura", and Torquato Tassos "Gerusalemme liberata", vigorously endorsed the textual changes in the liturgy. Here is Esolen speaking about the new Missal in First Things:http://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/11/restoring-the-words
"The real question to be pondered is why they havent done exactly that."Susan: one could offer any number of answers to your question but most likely no bishops want to appear to be unhappy with or even questioning the translations imposed on them and us by Their Ecclesiastical Betters.As far as dealing with the US bishops specifically: when's the last time you have seen or heard any of them speaking up (before retirement, that is) and challenging ANYTHING that emenates from the Vatican? In that respect, the European bishops are light-years ahead of their US brethren.
"As for the first point, do you mean that the Church is so different in different dioceses that her priests think differently about things as basic as the missal? I find that to be a stretch."Tom: I suspect in dioceses such as Rockford, Lincoln and Arlington, the priests may be VERY different in this respect than their counterparts in the rest of the US.But I still agree with you in principle regarding your comments to Wasting Time.
" ... perhaps worshipers are not listening. Maybe, too, they have tuned outReminds me of when I was a kid in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Btw, I see that Rita's post has made the Real Clear Religion list today - congratulations to Rita and dotCom. And Luke has a piece on the Boston Archdiocese that was listed yesterday - congrats, Luke and Commonweal.
Bernard,thank you for the recommendation. I had read the talk, but seeing him gives it an added dimension. As you say, a 38 minutes well spent.
The new translation is going fine in our parish; California San Joaquin valley. The priests do well with it and I have not heard anyone comment that they dislike it.
I concur with Jim's kudos to Luke Hill for his piece on the Boston archdiocese.
Kathy:The survey can capture information from a wider range of participants than focus groups. Additionally, responses can be quantified and correlations drawn between degree of satisfaction with the translation and age, region, religious order affiliation, etc.Due to the return rate some of these may not be available or it may have been an issue with distribution. A survey can quantify and capture a larger sample. Ethically, all one should do is report the findings accurately and completely.The value of focus groups is that they can add a useful qualitative component to the quantitative findings. So, for example, we read this survey and Rita reported that "59% of priests do not like the new translation, compared with 39% who do. An overwhelming 80% agree that some of the language is awkward and distracting. 61% think the translation needs urgently to be revised. In what is perhaps the most timely element, 61% of priests do not want the rest of the liturgical books to be translated in the same manner".This prompted the discussion on this post and people (clergy) forwarded specific examples of awkward and distracting translations. This is not possible in a survey format but is in a smaller open ended focus group format.
George D,Do you think participants on the Commonweal blog are representative of American Catholics as a whole?
Kathy:No, it is obviously a more informed and educated (in the sense of actively engaged) than most North American Catholics.As was said one time in one thread some time ago, liturgy is probably the only thing that is more controversial than sex in Catholic circles. I think most American Catholics would agree. A common experience of most Catholics leaving mass is commenting on the drive home on quality of the mass, whether that is the homily, the music, whatever. Everyone is a critic!!!But I think that the clergy and religious representation is probably accurate. The survey revealed that 70% were unhappy with the translation. But, who knows, that would probably still be the case if the angel Gabriel whispered the translation to the committee!!!
Leaving doctrine aside, I think some of the prayer's linguistic perplexities originate in the Latin and are only carried forward, perhaps slightly worsened, in translation.Look at this line: et Unitatem adorare in potentia maiestatis. From the perspective of a person in a pew, or even of the celebrant, what does "to adore Unity" mean? It sounds more Pythagorean than Christian. No doubt the author wanted to balance Unity and Trinity in a prayer on Trinity Sunday, but the object of adoration is the One God, not a numerical abstraction, and it would be easier on everyone if the prayer said so. That would also automatically fix the "your" problem in English.When the Latin was first written, earthly monarchs wielded real power and inspired awe. The "power of majesty" meant something then that it no longer means. Anyway, the Trinity is being celebrated on this day, not divine omnipotence. The phrase looks like something tacked on just to fill out the line.Lastly, in admirabile mysterium tuum hominibus declarasti, the verb declarasti, which means to make clear or manifest, seems an odd word to use in connection with a doctrine that the wisest heads in Christendom have always told us cannot be made clear or manifest. In this case, the English is actually a slight improvement, being less assertive.
John Prior, Thank you. My incoherent mutterings have been rendered into intelligent words by someone who knows whereof he speaks. Especially, thank you for "something tacked on just to fill out the line." I have suspected Latin of having a lot of that sort of thing ever since my decades-ago bouts with the ever "pius Aeneas." Thanks for it all.
Some readers might be interested to know that a major study of the composition of the orations after the Council is coming out this summer, Dr. Lauren Pristas' Collects of the Roman Missals: A Comparative Study of the Sundays in Proper Seasons before and after the Second Vatican Council.
Kathy,Am I correct?: this has nothing to do with vernacular translations but with the composition of the Latin collects for the Missal of Paul VI and the changes from the previous Missal (I believe issued under John XXIII).
One more time. Why should the English-language liturgical texts be translations from some other language (Latin, Greek, Urdu)? There is no "sacred" language. Yes, there is a Latin Rite tradition that provides guidance. But the guidance it provides is in HOW it expresses what it says, not in the fact that it is Latin. As there is some stylistically good English and some stylistically poor English, so too is there some stylistically good Latin and some stylistically poor Latin.But the main point is that there is no sacred language. Just some "sacred cows."
"But the guidance it provides is in HOW it expresses what it says"Bernard, does not the guidance include WHAT it says: the content of the mystery of the faith?
Here is the collect as it appeared in the Roman Missal before the Council:
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus,qui dedisti famulis tuis, in confessione verae fidei,aeternae Trinitatis gloriam agnoscere,et in potentia maiestatis adorare Unitatem:quaesumus; ut, eiusdem fidei firmitate, ab omnibus semper muniamur adversis.Almighty and everlasting God,who have given your servants graceby the confession of the true faithto acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinityand to worship the Unity in all its power and majesty,grant that by steadfastness in the same faithwe may be kept safe from all adversities.
And here is the translation from the Book of Common Prayer:
ALMIGHTYE and everlastyng God, whiche haste geven unto us thy servauntes grace by the confession of a true fayth to acknowlege the glorye of the eternall trinitie, and in the power of the divyne majestie to wurshippe the unitie: we beseche thee, that through the stedfastnes of thys fayth, me may evermore be defended from all adversitie, whiche liveste and reignest, one God, worlde without end.
Fr. Imbelli, yes, that is correct. Dr. Pristas' research along these lines has been published in the Thomist, Communio, et al.
Fr. K. has shown, I believe, that "Worship the unity" is in fact the liturgical prayer. Since that's challenging, to me anyways, what do I do with the challenge? Am I right? Is the prayer right? Who should be learning from whom?
Fr. Imbelli,Two comments.First, please look at both the English and the Latin of the Collect Fr. Komonchak has cited above. Then look at the English version of the Collect and Prayer after Communion for Pentecost. I don't have the Latin for these. Note the clarity and simplicity of the former and the fussiness and wordiness of the latter. I grant that not all the orations are as bad as these Pentecost ones are, but many, many of them, are anything but elegant.Second, and more to the point. You ask: "Does not the guidance [to be gotten from the tradition of Latin Rite liturgical texts] include WHAT it says: the content of the mystery of faith?"Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: But that guidance is not tied to the Latin language as a language. I'm confident that when you and other competent people teach and preach here in the U. S. you do not feel the need to produce a Latin text which you proceed to translate into English before delivering it. There is no loss of the content of the faith because you don't start with a Latin text. Why then insist that liturgical texts have to start with a Latin version? Frankly, I can conjure up some lousy reasons for the treatment of Latin as a sacred language. I can't come up with any good ones for doing so. Sacred cows are expensive to maintain.
Mr. D.,we may be communicating past one another.I'm not sure of your first point. I agree that the English translation of the pre-conciliar collect for Trinity Sunday reads much more clearly than the present collect for Pentecost. But what does that say other than that the first translation, as translation, is superior in style to the second -- a point with which I agree. Am I missing something?With regard point two: I am not maintaining that Latin is "sacred" (whether language or cow), only that the Latin prayers are the carriers of the West's liturgical tradition. Must they not then be the starting point of our translation of the liturgy? -- not because they are in Latin and Latin is sacred, but because the Latin collects etc. bear the heritage of the faith passed down from our ancestors. If your point here is that we ought to create new collects, prayers after communion etc., not dependent on previous models in a literal sense, then that opens (at least to my mind) a different field of discussion.
Mr. D.,I think we are understanding one another. But I presume you meant to write "shouldn't" in the second sentence above.
As an aside: it appears that several comments have disappeared in what I assume was the cut-over from the old blog software to the new blog software.
To our collection of alternative translations, this one is the one that was composed by the current ICEL and approved by the English-speaking bishops in 2008, who sent it to Rome for the recognitio, apparently with the impression that this is the text that would actually end up in the missal we're using today (but Rome reworked it):
God our Father,
by sending into the world the Word of truth
and the Spirit of sanctification
you made known to humankind your awesome mystery;
grant us, in professing the true faith,
to acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory,
and adore the Unity, powerful in majesty.
(Thanks to Jonathan Day on the Pray Tell blog for providing this text.)
Speaking of individual revisions, I am so grateful for the priest who says, "For us... and for our salvation..." There is no discernible sound for "men" that I can hear from him, though the congregation says it.
One appreciative experience when visiting my daughter for Easter: I joined her at her Episcopal church where grandson is in the choir. They used the prior text we Catholics have lost. I failed to appreciate how much I miss "one in being with the Father" etc. until I heard all those responses again.
And a woman was even on the altar. No wonder there is a coterie of former Catholics there. Sniff.
The "men" in the creed refers to mankind (emphasizing the sacrifice of a divine being for mere man), not to the male sex, right?
How about using "women" to refer to humankind? If not, why not?
The ECUSA may have lost the few, the proud and the grumpy to the Orneryariate, but the RCC in the US has lost scads of people to the ECUSA, particularly women and now married priests.
Methinks that the exchange has been heavily in favor of the ECUSA.
Style. Do we fault Jesus for saying man does not live by bread alone? Do we think he implied that women can?
The word in Greek is "ho anthropos", which like "homines" in the Creed, refers to humanity not to man or men (which would be "ho andros" and "viri" respectively). Hence the NRSV translates it as follows: "One does not live by bread alone."

Msgr Bruce Harbert has picked up Kathy's defense of the mistranslated collect:
"Since very early times, there has been a strong contrast between the trinitarian theology of East and West, the East focussing more on the threeness of Persons and the West on the oneness of God. The western insertion of the 'filioque' in the Creed is a symptom of this, and a major cause of division. The western emphasis has led theologians to stress abstract speculation about the immanent Trinity at the expense of reflection on the Trinity's revelation in history. At its best – in Augustine and Aquinas – this is magnificent. But it can degenerate into excessive abstraction.
The liturgical texts of the Roman Rite exemplify this western tendency – just look at the quantity of abstract nouns that they contain.
Many theologians have felt that the West needs to learn from the East in order to develop a more balanced presentation of trinitarian theology so that, as John Paul II said, the Church can breathe with both her lungs.
These are the considerations that, I would suggest, led to the revision of the Trinity Sunday Collect."
This sheds interesting light on the theological incompetence of the new translators. http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2013/05/20/collect-for-the-most-holy-trinity/
Joseph-- I do not take issue with your Greek, I take issue with your English, and the meaing of man/men. "One does not live by bread alone" is no different than "Man does not live by bread alone." "For us men and for our salvation" is no different than "For us men and women (and children?) and for our salvation," except that it's infinitely less clunky, hence closer to God.
Yes, you may dislike inclusive language, and I certainly dislike the distortions it has created in the NSRV; but you should not invoke Jesus as an authority, because we have his sayings only in Greek and the problem does not arise, at least in the text you quoted. Masculine pronouns attached to anthropos might be argued to be non-inclusive, but that would be to forget the difference between grammatical and biological gender; in any case feminine gender often attaches to male persons in languages with grammatical genders, as when Christ as "la victime du Calvaire" is called "Elle". Christ calls himself the Truth and the Life in John 14:6, both nouns are feminine.
Off topic, this story confirms what I have said a million times: beware of antipedophile witchhunts: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324482504578453363318730182.html
When you say that "feminine gender often attaches to male persons in languages with grammatical genders," you are making my point. If I've made anything clear it's that I love inclusive language expressed elegantly, such as "man" or when the Church is referred to as the "bride" of Christ.
What I dislike are childish responses to such inclusive language.
" it may not be Shakespeare, and it may not be 100% theologically sound "
Shakespeare I can live with or without. But theological soundness ....?
Is "OK theology" a gift of slavishness to the original Latin?
And if the arbiters of style were women rather than men .....

Diamond Contrast Bodycon Dress
Style # 199589
Bodycons just went geometric in colors that pop. This bebe dress features a lightweight stretch and diamond-shaped print across front and back. Try it with a pair of black pumps and belt.
- 92% nylon, 8% spandex.
- Center back to hem: 30" (76 cm).
- Dry clean.
- Made in USA.
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Suzie19 Flattering, modern, classy I own 2 other bodycon dresses from Bebe. The other 2 are the black-on-nude type, so I was afraid when I first opened the package and saw this was a very stretchy material (I had originally thought this would be a thicker sort of fabric). Not to panic, though! The fit was very form-fitting but flattering too. Even though the material is not too thick (which helps in not making you look bigger), it definitely hugs the body and keeps things in their place, like the other 2 bebe dresses I own. The color is very vibrant which makes the dress very versatile - can be worn for a special dinner or to a club. A great plus is that you can wear a regular bra. Panties may be harder to hide, though.

A man called police because his daughter got nipped on the back of her leg by a neighbor's dog.
But the circumstances in which this happened may not have warranted an actual police response. As the father explained to the officer what happened, they quickly learned that the man;s daughter was going door to door selling fund-raising stuff for school. She entered the neighbor's yard with out permission and without a permit to solicit.
The dogs were securely behind their invisible fence, and most likely were being frisky or protecting their property.
According to the report, when the police responded to speak with the father, the dogs sat calmly in their yard and never even paid attention to their presence despite the fact that they were in close proximity to the property.
The father refused medical treatment for the small nip. The neighbor apologized for his dogs and the neighbor showed where his dogs were current on their vaccinations.

CLERMONT, Fla.-- The Chattanooga Lady Mocs (0-2) fell 6-4 to the Fordham Rams (1-0) on a walk-off double in the first game of Dot Richardson's National Training Center Invitation in Clermont, Fla. Friday evening. UTC found no better luck in the second game of the evening, defeated 6-3 at the hands of SIU. It is the first time Chattanooga has begun a season 0-2 for the first time since suffering back-to-back losses in Clermont in 2010.
Chattanooga 5 - Fordham 6
Chattanooga was first to strike against Fordham in the first inning. Senior Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) roped a two-out single into centerfield and stole second base to set up the first run of the season. Freshman Anyssa Robles (Hoschton, Ga.) followed up with a single down the right field line to score the first baseman, putting the Lady Mocs ahead 1-0 early.
Starting pitcher Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.), despite two base runners, was able to work out of the first inning with no harm done. A single and error put two Rams on base with no outs, but a line-drive and quick throw to second base from sophomore third baseman Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) relieved pressure helped UTC to a scoreless defensive inning. The second inning would not go as well.
Two hits and an error led to three Fordham runs and an early end to Deason's season debut. Freshman Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) was brought on in relief of the sophomore and retired the final batter of the inning.
Chattanooga slowly began to climb back, cutting the Fordham lead to 3-2 in the third inning after senior Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) singled and Tydingco and junior Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) reached on back-to-back fielding errors. Poteat came around to score on the Tydingco-caused error to pull Chattanooga within one run.
The Lady Mocs tied the game 3-3 in the fourth inning on a Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) single. The senior muscled a pitch past the pitcher to drive in Jenny Garcia (Miami, Fla.), who singled to the shortstop an at-bat earlier.
UTC took a 4-3 lead in the fifth inning as Poteat led off with a double to the centerfield fence. Advancing to third on a Tydingco fly-out, Robles drove in the go-ahead run with another single to right field. Chattanooga tacked on one more insurance run in the top of the seventh on three straight hits. Another double from Poteat put a runner in scoring position to lead off the inning and a single from Rieck put runners on the corners. Tydingco singled to push the Lady Mocs lead to 5-3, but the two runs would fall through in the bottom of the seventh.
A walk, single and error contributed one run and two base runners for the Rams with just one out. Fordham shortstop Elise Fortier hit a walk-off double to the centerfield fence to hand the Lady Mocs their first loss of the season.
Chattanooga 3 - Southern Illinois 6
The Lady Mocs drew first blood again against Southern Illinois in the second matchup of the day and jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. Robles led off the second inning with a double and Roberts advanced the catcher to third on a single back to the pitcher. Junior Kaiti Dutton (Tulsa, Okla.) reached on an error by the shortstop that allowed Robles to score. UTC added two more runs on the board in the third inning on two outs. Tydingco singled up the middle and Robles found her way on base with a fielder's choice. With two on, a passed ball allowed the two to move up one base each. A muffed throw by the first baseman on a Roberts' ball in play allowed Tydingco to cross the plate and another Garcia hit scored Robles.
Leading 3-0, starting pitcher Kaisey Carson (Indianapolis, Ind.) cruised through the fourth inning but hit a bump in the fifth. The Salukis added on two runs to cut the Lady Mocs' lead to one, prompting Head Coach Frank Reed to throw Deason in the sixth inning, but Deason would not fare well.
The sophomore loaded the bases and was pulled as Albritton was brought on in relief, but the freshman was unable to stop the bleeding as Deason was charged with three runs (two earned) in the sixth. A fourth run crossed the plate (an earned run charge to Albritton), sealing the win for SIU, as the Lady Mocs went three-up-three-down in the home half of the seventh.
"It's disappointing," Reed said. "That's not the way you want to start out a season, but now we have to regroup and get ready for tomorrow's games. We can't dwell on these losses, but we need to learn from them."
Chattanooga takes on Long Island (0-2) tomorrow at 11 a.m. before facing off against the Virginia Tech Hokies (1-0) at 4 p.m. Long Island dropped a 6-14 (six inning) game to Fordham and 1-9 (five inning) game to Virginia Tech. The Hokies took the 9-1 win over Long Island and played a 7 p.m. game against SIU.

The McFarlane Companies' new Arizona-based showroom and retail center opened its doors for the first time on Monday, July 26th.
Several years in the making, the showroom will serve various functions: a retail operation, a museum of sorts and an ever-evolving centerpiece of our operation. It also houses a gallery area that will be periodically updated.
When the showroom doors opened to the public for the first time this past Monday, Trent and his young daughter from nearby Surprise, AZ, were the first customers in the building. Trent started collecting action figures in 1994, mostly Star Wars and Starting Lineups Atlanta Brave figures. That all changed after he saw the detail and realism of McFarlane's Sports Picks figures -- he now collects all four sports figures, but only from McFarlane Toys. He really liked the two-up prototype displays and thought the product selection and prices were great.
Also checking out the new store was Keith -- a.k.a. KB26 on the spawn.com message boards. He's been both a collector and message board member for the past six years. McFarlane Toys' Freddy from Movie Maniacs Series 1 was his first action figure purchase and he has been collecting ever since. He was excited to see the Alien vs. Predator line available in the showrooom.
Adrian of Tempe was also one of the first fans through the doors at the new Tempe Showroom. He mainly collects Sports Picks figures and is happy to have another local source for figures.
In addition to all the custom displays featuring two-up prototypes of our figures (horror, sports, film, Spawn, music), the showroom is offering most current retail action figure lines for direct sale.
The new McFarlane Showroom is located at 8945 S. Harl, Suite 112, Tempe, AZ 85284, just one block east of the I-10 freeway and is currently open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
We have a gala grand-opening event slated for Saturday, Oct. 16, which is sure to be a fun-filled day complete with signings and other special happenings. We'll have more specific information on the grand-opening event as we get closer to October in time for you to make travel plans.

If you're on EU Horde, send me a PM with your battletag, I can help you hunt him if you want. I'm on a low-med pop realm, so he shouldn't be too hard to find again.
You know there are Patrannache look alikes on the timeless isle you may be able to tame them, me i got another guild hunter to do me a solid and help me hunt it
Sadly i found the pink crane, but 2 DKs a warrior and a mage from Barthulus (The DKS) and Malganis (Warrior Mage) came storming in and killed the bird on me, after i repeatedly told them to stop attacking a hunters pet that drops nothing and got told "Shut up noob, its rare looser" then just /lol'd at me.
Maybe i'll go to timeless isles and just tame a faux copy of a pink crane and call it Patrannache Jnr or something
I hate assholes, i really do
I thought for sure you couldn't kill the special-stealthed hunter rares?
For Moderation Concerns, please contact a Global:
Tziva ■ Darsithis ■ Radux ■ Simca ■ Elysia ■ Zaelsino ■ xskarma ■ Arlee ■ Venara
I've found him five or six times for myself and guildies. I never followed the tracks - that made me crazy. I simply found a fishing spot on his path and dropped flares while I fished. Let me know if you need help....
They do not stop walking when attacked and can't be slowed. They have a decent amount of health. (Patrannache for example has ~1 million) It's very hard to kill one in the 2-3 seconds they are in the flare. You'd have to do ~300k DPS to kill Patrannache alone. And that's if you are following the hunter and start as soon as it's visible. Which, on a PvE realm, could constitute griefing. Actually, more than 300k, as they regenerate health quite quickly. Around 10-15% every second or two. Meaning you'd have to do 500-600k dps to burn them down in the small time they're visible.
If a hunter uses Hunter's Mark, it remains visible for the hunter, and only the hunter after it leaves the flare.
They changed it a couple patches ago. I think it was patch 5.2 that made it so the rares no longer attack anything that attacks them. They just ignore it and keep going. (and as such, you will lose target, as it is not targeting you) The only class really capable of killing them are hunters, as they can attack them while they're marked. But why would they do that? Lol. I did kill Portent once, I will confess. Asked in zone for 15 minutes if anyone wanted to tame, and when they didn't, I killed him, because I wanted another color and wasn't willing to wait hours for someone to come tame him to get the respawn timer started. It took about 10 minutes due to the regen, but it eventually went down. (Portent has 2 million health)

I found it for my girlfriend once while leveling my hunter out of boredom, at ground mount speed it's leaves the time to check easily, except around that stupid swamp area it crosses.
Basically though what everyone else said, just keep following the path, and don't get discouraged by rude people like the ones you encountered.
I found this guy in about 15min on my server. Granted, my server is rather low pop, and most of the people are idiots and probably aren't even aware these pets exist (I can count the amount of raiding Hunters on my server on one hand). The tracks are pretty difficult to spot. Once you find them you pick up on the pattern on how they're spread.
The pet that I have difficulties with is Glimmer. He seems to change speeds drastically and in the middle of his path, I have phasing issues with his footprints. So, I have no clue where he's at half the time.
Grats i wish thorny misfortune to those assholes that killed him first.
I don't know if it's already been said, but there are some challenge pets that actually walk backwards.
Can't remember if Patrannache is one of them.
Grats :-)
One "trick" for those of you in EU is to roll and level an alt on one of the localized realms - they're generally very low pop and not CRZ'd with other realms (for example the Italian realms). That makes finding rares so much more simpler (given that you're willing to put in the initial work of leveling something just for hunting rares).


text: It's not so much that I look for connections, most of them just pop out if you've read enough King to recognize where a connection comes into play. The fact that the story arc of The Dark Tower takes place on several different planes of existence gives one reason to ponder whether all of his stories take place on different planes connected to the Tower, I'm not saying that it is a certainty, just that it is justifiable to think such a thing. As you read and re-read more King, I'm sure you'll begin to notice these possible connections, it's just part of the fun, lol.

BOONVILLE - With the volleyball season coming to a close, unbeaten Starmount is closing in on yet another perfect run through the Mountain Valley Conference.
The Lady Rams, who haven't lost a conference match since 2009, took one more step towards perfection Tuesday with a three-game sweep of rival Elkin.
Starmount breezed to a 25-7 win in the first set before battling to 25-15, 25-12 triumphs in the second and third sets, respectively.
"I thought we had a lot self-inflicted wounds tonight," Starmount head coach Jon Symons said. "I think we made five errors in the first game. And hopefully, at some point in the near future, will be uncharacteristic of us. We had moments where we looked really good and other moments where our mind looks like it goes somewhere else.
"We're just trying to work to get better, but we're running out of time. Time is ticking away and we need to get a little more focused," he added.
Reigning MVAC Player of the Year Ashton Gregory once again paved the way for the Rams with 10 kills and four blocks, while Hunter Welborn added six kills and three service aces.
Rachel Wagoner went 23-for-24 from behind the serve line with eight aces and five kills, with Josie Matthews adding five kills and a dozen digs.
Hayley Hartman recorded five kills and 10 digs, while Sydney Caudle added four aces on 9-for-11 serves. Erin Barr tacked on 30 assists.
In a closer-contested match than the first meeting between the schools - Starmount cruised to the sweep 25-3, 25-9, 25-8 - Elkin battled the Rams closer in the second matchup.
In the first set, Starmount jumped out to a 24-3 lead before winning 25-7.
The second set proved to be much closer as the Rams took a timeout early in the game with the score tied up at 7-all.
Elkin was unable to maintain the hot start as the Starmount lead grew out to 16-10 and 21-12 before the Rams took the set 25-15.
In the final set, Starmount scored seven of the first eight points and took a 12-3 lead midway through. The Elks never found their rhythm in the game as the Rams scored the last three points, capped off by a Caudle ace to complete the sweep.
"Individually, Erin did a good job. She's probably one of the better setters in the area, not just in our conference," Symons said. "Ashton had some good swings, Hayley tracked down a couple balls and Josie is improving and that's key for us. We need Josie to have confidence in her knee, and she's gaining that; you can see it in the way she plays."
With the win, Starmount improved to 19-3 overall and 13-0 in the conference. With three conference matches left (at West Wilkes, North Wilkes, Alleghany), Symons said he is implementing some rotation changes to "try something different" for the stretch run of the season.
"We're going to make some major changes, as far as our rotation, at practice this week," he explained. "We're going to try something different and see what it looks like. I've watched enough film to think this will work, so we're going to take a look at it.
"I think we're good, but we're not there yet. Depending how we want to spend these next couple weeks will determine if we get to play in November, and that's the goal for everyone," Symons added.

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
Was it because of it being the vacation week for Harwood and the elementary school? Was it because the vast majority of the community now is in favor of the Farm Stand site? This time we could not blame the weather! Although the meager attendance at last night's event was disappointing, there still appeared to be a balance of the different perspectives voiced at the information public meeting hosted by the Waitsfield Select Board.
It was clear that there is still a desire to renovate the historic Methodist church/Luminosity building; however, by the end of the evening, every concern received a respectful and reasonable response, in my view. As an architect with a specialty in historic preservation, I too favored the renovation idea over new construction. After last night, it became clear that the Town Office Task Force (TOTF) had looked at this project from all angles and took careful consideration of as many perspectives as they could.
The proposed plan was executed so sensitively that after completion, the new town hall should look like it was there for generations. Nestled between two other small-scale buildings, the massing of the proposed building fits right in. The architects and the TOTF carefully considered the design of the proposed town hall within the context of a tiny, rural, historic village. It is very hard to argue against the site's location in the historic village and, more importantly, its ability to access the Flemer Field community green. For over two and a half years the TOTF has been working tirelessly for our town and all their effort truly shows.
I support the proposed plan from the TOTF and encourage Waitsfield residents to vote yes for the bond article that will set in motion this desperately needed project.

A Voice for Abbotsford
Abbotsford is one of the best cities in the world, and I want to help make it even better.

Today the city is facing many challenges: homelessness, property tax levels, and escalating commercial vacancies, to name a few. As your mayor, I will work to ensure Abbotsford continues to grow and thrive for generations to come, and I'd love to hear your ideas for making Abbotsford an even better place to live, work, learn, and play.
I am committed to:

CRESTVIEW — The days of mystery meat and sodden vegetables are long gone, school cafeteria managers said, as north county schools observe the School Nutrition Association's National School Lunch Week.
With a choice of 10 entrées a day in high school, between five and eight a day in middle school, and four entrées — including two cold and two hot — at the elementary level, students have more choices under the Okaloosa School District's new food service than when the district ran school cafeterias with food pre-made at a central kitchen.
"There's still a perception among some people that everything is coming from a central kitchen, but it doesn't," said Larry Haile, general manager of Sodexo Education's Okaloosa School District office. "Everything is made fresh at each school."
"It's a lot better now than a couple years ago," Crestview High School senior James Reid said, adding that his favorite menu selection is the made-to-order sub sandwiches.
The hoagies, which include a popular toppings bar, and a wider choice of beverages including 100 percent fruit juices and flavored waters, but no carbonated sugary drinks, also appealed to Baker School eighth-grader Jamaal Day.
"I think it's nice not having to drink milk all the time," Jamaal said. "I personally like eating the subs here."
Crestview High senior Alex Andrews is partial to the pizza made on a whole-wheat crust with low-fat cheese.
"I don't get it every day, though," Alex said as he took his basket with a chicken patty sandwich, fresh apple, fruit cocktail and chocolate milk to the checkout. "I enjoy a little variety."
Fruits and veggies
"That's part of our national nutrition patterns," Crestview High food manager Lynn Roberts said. "You see more fruits and vegetables on their trays."
Haile said research showed that while 99 percent of elementary school students include a serving of fruit or vegetables in their basket, the percentage dropped to 42 percent of middle-school students and just 36 percent of high-school kids.
"Students must take a fruit or a vegetable with their meal," Haile said. "And hopefully they'll eat them."
Two dieticians at the district office prepare county schools' menus, Haile said, and follow nutritional guidelines including the U.S. Department of Agriculture's new MyPlate standards, those of the School Nutrition Association of Florida, and voluntary standards set by the Alliance for Healthier Education. While previous guidelines under the Department of Education had minimum caloric standards, now that school meals fall under the USDA, "they also put a maximum on it," Haile said.
While the pizza and hoagies were a top choice at Crestview High and Baker School, farther south, the kids at Riverside Elementary School had a different favorite.
"Chicken nuggets," Principal Marline Van Dyke said. "They all love chicken nuggets."
Those nuggets "are whole muscle meat and baked fresh," Haile said. "We don't fry anything in any school."
Van Dyke said very little encouragement is required for her students to make healthy choices when heading down the lunch line.
"It's surprising. When you put healthy selections out there, they'll eat it," she said. "They have whole wheat buns and they probably don't even realize they're having whole wheat buns. They can probably teach their parents something about healthy eating."
Riverside's food service manager Lydia Bradley said the kids generally like the selections.
"There's always something for everybody," she said. "They have a lot of variety. But now and then, we get that one who won't eat anything."
Healthier, with less waste
As kindergartener Jazmyn Diggs carefully used the tongs to help herself to a crisp quesadilla, Haile said letting the students serve their own portions has proved cost effective.
"We see less waste when the kids serve themselves than when we portion it out," he said.
"We no longer put the food on their plates," Baker School food service manager Cynthia Mims said. "They do it themselves. We just make sure that they are getting the right amount."
Haile said district food service officials are always tweaking the menu in response to student preferences, and learning all the time.
"The kids'll tell you what they think," he said. "They're not shy."
While a Crestview High cafeteria worker took a temperature reading from pizza on the school's à la carte self-serve line, Haile said, "Food safety is very important," noting that each school food service operation is inspected three times a year by state authorities "and they have to maintain an A rating each time."
"We have to document everything to make sure we are abiding by the regulations," Mims said.
Occasionally, Haile said, the district office receives a call from parents who say their children complained about their lunch's variety or quality. Haile said he always encourages those parents to come to lunch at their child's school.
"I invite them to come see what they are served," Haile said. "I've never had a parent come back after they see what their child has to choose from."
Last year in the Okaloosa County School District, Sodexo Education served more than 2.5 million lunches, Haile said. And his customers are noticing.
"Our lunches have greatly improved in the last three years," Van Dyke said.

I don't think Marla Wilson would stoop that low. In the past two elections, she has run a fairly clean campaign. That leaves only Danny-Boy. Dann-O is dying to feast at the public trough, but he has marginalized himself by veering hard left.
Yup, my money would be on Danny-Boy. He would stoop to anything to get a public check with his name on it. If it wasn't him, it was certainly one of his proxies. A mis-leading Robocall sounds like a union trick to me.

HP Support Assistant features and benefits
There are three ways to contact an HP technician through HP Support Assistant.
If you have an active Internet connection, you can chat online with an HP technician. PC information (such as your serial number) is automatically sent from your PC to HP once you approve that information to be sent.
Call with data transfer
To speed issue resolution, your PC can transfer data to the HP support technician before your phone conversation if you approve this information to be sent.
Note: The Chat and Call with data transfer features are available on select PCs and in select locations. HP does not charge for data transfer, but your Internet provider may charge a fee for sending or receiving data.

Updates from HP Support Assistant help keep your computer current, prevent problems and allow you to benefit from new software features. You won't need to search for the latest version of your HP software applications.
HP Support Assistant notifies you when updates are available for your computer. If you want, the application can install the updates automatically. It only takes a minute or so to set up your computer to receive updates from HP.
HP Support Assistant checks your warranty in order to display the contact options and hours of operation for your local support center.
If you do not agree to let HP Support Assistant check your warranty status, you can still contact an HP Support agent who will then review your warranty.
HP Support Assistant is primarily designed to help you maintain your computer or solve computer problems. But it may help you download the latest software drivers for your other HP products connected to your computer.
HP Support Assistant does not usually check for virus and spyware issues. However, if a virus or a security threat is impacting a lot of customers, HP will attempt to provide a solution through HP Support Assistant.

It is strongly recommended that you use Microsoft or other third-party antivirus software for PC security.

Differences between HP Support Assistant and other software and services
Both updates are important, and cover different aspects of your computer. Windows updates are limited to operating system updates. HP Support Assistant provides software updates specifically related to your HP or Compaq computer, including driver updates, BIOS updates, and HP software updates.
In rare cases, such as a software driver update, both Windows and HP Support Assistant may try to provide the same update. Both applications will check, however, if the new driver version was already installed. If it was, neither application will download or install the driver again.
HP Support Assistant works independently of any antivirus software application.
HP Support Assistant uses HP Update and other HP tools to notify you when updates and alerts from HP are available for your computer.
