|Sources for Medieval Christian Liturgy
Gloria in excelsis deo
Vatican XV, 10th-Century Sources
This setting of the Gloria in excelsis is shown here with the
Solesmes markings in the Vatican edition of the melody. The melody is extremely constrained. It
is little more than an alternation between two recitation pitches: G and a. The G is approached
from below by the E and the a from above by b. No other pitches appear until the 'Amen' at the
close of the hymn. The piece is almost more heightened speech than melody. It acheives its effect,
a certain level of drama and shape, through its elegant manipulation of the recitation pitch. The
opening third of the work creates an AABA form highlighting the short interior statements by
ending each phrase on E and changing the recitation pitch from a to G.
a Gloria in excelsis deo,
a et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis
G Laudamus te.
G Benedicimus te.
G Adoramus te.
G Glorificamus te.
a Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Since such a straightforward piece can be sung by just about anybody (certainly no special musical
training would be required), many believe that this melody could never have been intended for a
schola cantorum. It seems probable that it was intended for the entire assembly, clergy and
laity alike.
We do not, of course, know in just what manner this melody would have been sung at any given
time. Singers may very well have ornamented these recitation tones with undulations of the voice
as is the case in many Western folk-music traditions and Arab classical music. Compare this
melody with a very similar one from the Mozarabic Rite perfomed by Marcel
Pérès and the Ensemble Organum on their CD Chant Mozarabe:
Cathédrale de Tolède, (Harmonia Mundi, HMC 901519), track 3.

Can good people neglect their pets?
In Michigan, a "veterinary educator" was charged with neglect for the 17 dogs and 2 cats in her home. There are no details yet about the welfare of the animals in the article; only that they are in "poor condition." We do know, however, that they were in poor enough condition that the woman was […] [Read More]
Animal neglect much more of a problem than animal abuse
Since writing the pet column about the neglected dog, Dogs need to be with people (November 19, 2012, San Antonio Express-News), I have been getting lots of letters about neglected dogs. So many, in fact, I couldn't possibly address them all in my Sunday column, but I decided to address neglected dogs one more time […] [Read More]
Study shows that income is a real barrier to cat sterilization
In a recent study, "low income" was determined to be the real barrier to whether house cats were neutered or not. A new study in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association reports that the vast majority — at least 80% — of pet cats in U.S. households are neutered, with middle-to higher-income households reporting […] [Read More]

Help with Airport Card
I just purchased an airport extreme card for my ibook.
I installed all necessesary apps for the airport card. Now when i go to the airport set up, it's tell me that i have no card installed, or it may be installed inproperly. I've taken it out, put it back in, made sure it's nice and snug and in there.
I KNOW it's connected. Just the ibook isn't reading it.
How can i get the blasted ibook to read the card as being installed? I'm still fairly new to mac so i'm stupid about it. Especially since it's 4:30 am and im exhausted and about to pass out on my keyboard.
Also i got a microsoft wireless router hooked up to a pc downstairs in case someone asks.
Help me please someone!
hmm.. this is unlikely but maybe the card is a lemon. If you still have warranty on it or own AppleCare, I would have a Genius take a good look at it and your iBook. I mean that is the only thing i can think of.
could anyone else suggest something i may triy? :confused:
is there some way to scan for new hardware like in windows?
Open the Apple System Profiler (Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, then click on the "more info" button.
If it's working and installed correctly, the AirPort Extreme card should show up as a second Network card (Besides the built-in ethernet interface)
no other network devices come up after doing what you told me to do. does that basically mean my card is defective? :(
Try reseating the card.
resetting the card?
if you mean taking it out and putting it back in. i've done that miltiple times =/
It might be a silly question, but you did turn off the computer while installing and reboot afterwards, right?
But of course =)
Ok, before ruling out the card to be defective, make sure the card is inserted *tight*. You don't want it there nice and snug. It will sort of *click* as you insert the card. You need to push it in a bit hard. When it's *not* inserted all the way, you'll be able to see top part of the connector through the opening of aluminum panel covering the laptop. Then you should push it in a bit more.
I pushed it in, heard the click, plugged in the cable. Still wont go :(

Mad Men Season 6 Spoilers: Betty Is Bigger! Plus, "Flirtatious" and "Curvy" Newbies
Sorry, Betty haters, the B-word is coming back on Mad Men Season 6. She may not be bigger in the literal sense, but there will be more of her around.
Betty Draper Francis wasn't seen much on Mad Men Season 5, and when she was there, they focused on her discontent in her new marriage and unhappiness at gaining weight. Betty is never happy, so it's just a matter of what will tick her off next.
A fan asked TVLine if Betty would ever have an important storyline again, TVLine answered that Betty's limited role last season was due to actress January Jones' maternity leave. "[N]ow that that's over, the series regular is likely to return in a more significant capacity."
The site also shared some casting news: Mad Men was looking for a group of 20- and 30-somethings described as "attractive," "cute," "flirtatious,' "sweet" and "curvy," as well as two British businessmen types in their 50s.
British? British makes us think of the dearly departed Lane Pryce. On that note, is the company now Sterling Cooper Draper or will they add Pete Campbell or Joan Holloway Harris' name to the door? We don't know!
We also don't know when Season 6 will premiere. Filming just started last month. Season 5 premiered in March, but the other seasons have all debuted in July or August. Let's hope they go with something closer to March again!

Frequently Asked Questions
9. Can diabetes be prevented?
Video length: 5 min 36 sec
Click to watch this video
The two most common forms of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. Currently, there is no way to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes. However, research has shown that making modest lifestyle changes can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people at risk for the disease.
In the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a landmark study by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, researchers found that adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes were able to cut their risk in half by losing a modest amount of weight and being active almost every day. This means losing 5 to 7 percent of body weight (that's 10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) and getting 150 minutes of physical activity a week.
The DPP study also showed that modest weight loss (achieved by following a low calorie, low-fat diet) and moderate physical activity were especially effective in preventing or delaying the development of diabetes in older people. In fact, people over the age of 60 were able to reduce their risk for developing type 2 diabetes by 71 percent.

As many of you may know by now, "Suga" Rashad Evans visited Puerto Rico a few weeks ago to meet the MMA fans in the Island. The UFC Primetime cameras tagged along with the former champ, and now number one contender to the divisional belt held by newfound arch enemy, Jon Jones, to document his every move.
Para la versión en Español, oprima aquí.
As we have reported in other articles, the reception from the Puertorrican fans was outstanding, sending a very loud and clear message to ZUFFA; bring UFC back!
The second episode of UFC Primetime: Jones Vs. Evans hits the waves tomorrow, Friday 13, right after the reality show The Ultimate Fighter LIVE. In conversation with a ZUFFA executive, we confirmed that Evans' visit to Puerto Rico will be showcased in this second episode.
Rashad was welcomed by a battery of fans at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Carolina, PR. After a very warm welcome, Rashad met the fans at one of the most popular pubs in the Island, Shannan's Pub, where fans crowded the stage room and made a very long line just to have the chance to be close to Rashad and get his autograph.
The passion the MMA fan in Puerto Rico has for UFC was evident that night and Rashad was very pleased with the turn out.
"Thanks for having me. Great place, great welcome when I came in. I got to come back when I don't have a fight so I can really chill and kick it," said Evans talking to The MMA Truth camera.
The visit went on to the next day where Rashad held an open workout in what is considered to be one of Puerto Rico's best and most complete MMA training facilities, Training Zone, where Rashad was not only welcomed once again by a mob of fans, but was surprised by the visit of Puerto Rico's boxing glory, Felix "Tito" Trinidad.
Stay tuned to FX for The Ultimate Fighter LIVE and UFC Primetime: Jones Vs. Evans, episode 2. For time and channel listings contact your cable provider.
We hope the UFC fans—and ZUFFA—can see first-hand the passion the MMA fan in Puerto Rico has for UFC and how serious they are when they say "bring UFC back!"
The MMA Truth will be at UFC 145 LIVE to bring you all the insights from Atlanta, GA. Stay tuned to www.themmatruth.com for more MMA and UFC goodness. Follow us on Twitter, LIKE us on Facebook, the time to become a fan is now.

Lloyd Hotel
The Lloyd has rooms for all budgets. Modest rooms are as tiny as ship cabins and share dormitory-style bathrooms down the hall; the enormous luxury rooms are soundproof, airy suites with bathrooms designed by local artists and architects. The 1920s landmark building, located just outside the city center in the developing Eastern Docklands area, has variously been an immigrant hotel, a prison, and artists' studios. In its current incarnation as a 117-room hotel, it still feels bohemian: Many of the rooms are decorated with quirky contemporary Dutch furniture, and artsy locals wander in for meals at the main restaurant, Snel, which serves small plates of Dutch-inspired fare. The more exclusive Sloom has no menu; guests request what they will, and the chef improvises with haute ingredients.

By Master Sgt. Stephen Barrett, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1996 With 20,000 Americans going to Bosnia- Herzegovina dealing with cold temperatures and snow, the food service specialists are moving to give them the best food available.
For some service members, the Christmas feast of ham and turkey with all the trimmings was their first hot meal since arriving for duty.
Defense officials say it will take between 30 and 60 days to bring service members fresh, prepared meals routinely. Setting up dining facilities, staffing them with cooks and getting supplies will take time, especially for those units patrolling remote sites.
Officials said service members will still get hot, nourishing meals in the field - even without the kitchens and cooks. "We owe it to our soldiers to get them food they need," said Army Brig. Gen. Chuck Mahan, the Army's acting deputy chief of staff for logistics.
Mahan said the goal of all field commanders is getting their soldiers A-rations -- fresh meats, vegetables, fruits -- as soon as possible. "However, it may take time to do that because it takes more cooks to prepare three meals a day," he said.
Mahan added until units establish their dining facilities and staffs, there may be a lot of meal combinations for service members to see.
For soldiers on patrol, hot meals will consist initially of T-rations. Sealed in gray, metal aluminum packets, these "heat-and-eat" rations look like large TV dinners. There's a choice of five breakfasts and 10 dinners.
Units can easily transport and heat T-rations. They are an easy way to give troops in the field a hot meal, Mahan said.
"That's the beauty of the T-Ration," said Mahan. "They're designed for these units that are in constant movement. Many times you don't have a fixed facility or the food service personnel available. This provides commanders the chance to give their troops a hot meal."
Officials designed a better way to heat meals, ready to eat, using a bag and a half cup of water. A service member places a cold entree into a special bag. Pouring the water in activates a heating element that warms the cold meal into a hot entree in minutes.
"We first field tested this last year in Hohenfels, Germany, and got a great reaction," said Army Chief Warrant Officer Pete Motrynczuk. Assigned with the Army Center of Excellence at Fort Lee, Va., Motrynczuk said soldiers loved the idea of having hot food in the field. "We're now issuing these bags with every MRE so soldiers can have a hot meal wherever they are."
As operations continue, Mahan said, food quality will improve. "There will be time when a soldier will get MREs and a hot (meal)," he said. "Other times they may see different combinations. Not every unit is going to be the same."
One concern is units obtaining their own fresh foods from local merchants. "We have to provide food that is both nutritious and fit for consumption. Units don't have those resources, so they're not allowed to obtain local food products.
"We have to ensure quality and for us to do that, we need to send the right people there to do that," said Mahan. "When we start obtaining local fruits and vegetables, we'll do it through the logistics chain."
Mahan said Army veterinary units working with contractors will inspect and select the best quality products they can. "The vets have to make sure there are no parasites or other problems that could harm soldiers," he said.
Throughout the peacekeeping mission, defense officials said they will look at other ways to improve meals for service members. Motrynczuk said the Army is developing meals that provide more substance and more variety, and meet individual dietary demands.
Some improvements include solid meat portions rather than stews and shredded meats. Improvements include ethnic and kosher meals, as well as vegetarian entrees.
"We talk to soldiers all the time when we field test a meal," said Motrynczuk. "They've all told us there's a place in the field for MREs, but there needs to be a variety -- something that will make them want to eat that ration. We've now got 20 different MRE entrees and that will only increase."
However, Mahan said he won't be satisfied until soldiers replace T-rations and MREs with fresh prepared food. "Everything we prepare in our dining facilities can be prepared in the field," he said. "That's our goal and the goal of any commander because our soldiers deserve the very best."

By M. Letterlough, Jr.
Voletta Wallace has no problem saying what's on her mind. She's been speaking out about everything from youth violence and the special relationship between she and her son Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace, to the Los Angeles Police Department's lack of a proper investigation to find his killer and bring them to justice. Even in her book, Biggie, which was released in 2005, Voletta continued to speak on even more than just a corrupt LA police force. Now, with a major motion picture released based on her son's life, which Volleta served as executive producer, she still hasn't quieted her tune and only wants the same thing now as she has since that fateful day in March of 1997: truth.
"I decided to do a book because I felt I had a book in me," she says in a soft voice. In an instant, I recognize the West Indian accent I've become so familiar with from television interviews and the equally well portrayed role played by actress Angela Bassett.
"I felt I had a story to tell, I had things to say and I didn't want to put it in a magazine or the newspaper. I felt it was enough for a book."
In the book, Ms. Wallace takes readers on a journey of her life growing up in Jamaica with her continuing fantasies of heading for the United States to live out her picture-book life of the American dream. But aside from recounting all the precious moments with her son and the struggles of being a single mother, she calls out all the people in hip hop who were closely associated with her son and how she really feels about them and their relationship with Christopher.
"Kim listens to people. Kim is a follower. Kim is not a leader. I look for the day when she can look me straight in the face and say, 'Wow. I've done this. I was not thinking."
"It's my story," she says. "It's honest, it's straight forward. Some of the characters that I mentioned in the book, yes, there are things in the book that maybe (they) never knew. But I don't think it exposes hip-hop. And even if it does, I think it sheds a light (on it) in a good way."
But let's not mince words. When it comes down to it, Ms. Wallace is dishing the dirt. In the end she hopes that people will learn from it, rather than get offended by it.
"People will read it and they will reflect, and hopefully the characters in the book that I talk about, they'll realize what they did was wrong. Because sometimes people do things they felt was all right and all good. (But) if nobody corrects them or brings it to their attention, (or) to the forefront, they'll (continue) to think it's all good. But (if they read the book) they'll say 'God, what have I done?'"
So whom exactly is she talking about? Well, there's Christopher's "best friend," Sean "Diddy" Combs. While he professes and maintains adamantly his sincere and undying commitment as Christopher's dearest friend, Sean can easily be classified as joining the ranks with those who have used her son to benefit themselves. In Diddy's case, it sometimes appears that even he used Christopher to propel his own career and multi-million dollar company.
"Puffy does his thing," she says. "Puffy's in a class by himself. Puffy tries to do his best. He tried. Yes, we would like for him to try a little harder, but like I said, he tries. He and my son, they were in business," she says, "and I didn't like the contract that my son signed. Sean is a businessman. And I'm not gonna say I'm disappointed. I'm not. He may be a nasty, mean, ugly businessman, but he's doing his business. And I don't know if I was in his position if I wouldn't have done the same thing."
She says that while Sean might not do things the way she likes, or vice versa, they still maintain a great deal of respect for each other. But Sean joins the company with many of Christopher's friends and associates Ms. Wallace says she sometimes wishes he wouldn't have met at all.
"Puffy made him strong," says Ms. Wallace. "I'm sure when my son was here with Puffy he was comfortable with him. I'm sure he may not have been a Bad Boy today, he would have gone…" She pauses for a moment. "God knows where he would have been. Maybe he would have been in prison! I don't know. But at the time I'm sure my son was comfortable with him and my son loved him to death."
According to Ms. Wallace, the number one culprits wrongfully using her son's image since his death, ironically, have not been his hip-hop companions, but the photographers and various companies that use his pictures without permission to make a profit. There's also the artists, she mentions, that use Christopher's music without compensating her, or receiving permission from Bad Boy—who still owns the rights to all of Christopher's music.
Then there's Christopher's female protègè, Kimberly "Lil' Kim" Jones. Her counts of their relationship, which she has publicly asserted as an eternally devoting love, contradicted with stories of abuse, has not only been under speculation by the public and hip hop aficionados, but Ms. Wallace as well.
"I don't know (about Kim)," she says sharply. "I know my son called her an Indian-giver once, and that's the only thing I knew about the relationship with him."
In her book, Ms. Wallace recounts a time when Kim lied to her and used her home for an unauthorized photo shoot —going through her personal things in the house and posing with clothes and jewelry, saying they were hers—all without Ms. Wallace in attendance.
While this may sound a little uncouth to most of us, Ms. Wallace's biggest problem was that Kim never apologized.
"That's the thing, Kim does not apologize," she says. "Kim let her people apologize, and see, that's the downfall of our relationship. Kim lets somebody speak for her and whenever she speaks for herself, it doesn't make sense. I don't think she is woman enough to say, 'I am deeply sorry, I was not thinking.' Kim listens to people. Kim is a follower. Kim is not a leader. I look for the day when she can look me straight in the face and say, 'Wow. I've done this. I was not thinking. I shouldn't have done it.' Not as much as sorry, 'cause I don't think she's sorry."
And as far as Kim's relationship with Christopher, Ms. Wallace says, "I'm sure they were friends. I'm sure for Kimberly Jones to have such deep love and reverence for my son there has to be something there. Maybe it's her alter ego talking now. I honestly don't know, because I've never seen (their relationship). I'm hearing things after-the-fact, after my son's death. Everybody loves my son to death and everybody does this and that…I can see you loving him now, but I did not see how you loved him years ago. I didn't see that, and that's the truth."
The lack of honesty, according to Ms. Wallace, is also another reason why Kim found herself facing and serving jail time in a Philadelphia Federal correctional facility in 2005 for lying to a grand jury in an effort to protect her "friends," which were involved in a 2001 shootout outside of a Manhattan radio station.
"She wasn't supposedly protecting her friends," Voletta says. "She was acting stupid. She didn't speak the truth. She listened to something other than her heart. Thetruth will set you free!" With all this to deal with, I'm amazed at Ms. Wallace's strength and courage to keep fighting on.
"Would you believe the truth," she says. "I mean, I'm a Christian. I believe…" She sighs. "I have a strong faith in Jehovah, and what keeps me going is my hope that I will see my son again in the future and the hope that the truthwill come out. I want to find the truth, and that's what keeps me going."
Suddenly her voice softens again as she starts to reminisce with me about her son.
"I miss his smile," she says. "I miss just seeing him with those open arms and that big bear hug. That's what I miss most. I miss the voice on the phone saying, 'Hey Slim. Are you straight?' I miss that a lot…I really miss that a lot."
But Ms. Wallace is not alone. Christopher's manager, Wayne Borrow, still calls her everyday to check on her and make sure she's comfortable, she says, as well as rapper Lil' Cease of Junior Mafia, who remains a constant figure and care-taker in Ms. Wallace's life. And then there's Faith Evans, who, despite she and Christopher's short-lived marriage and divorce, Ms. Wallace says will always be her daughter-in-law.
"We have a wonderful relationship and I think we are stronger now becausewe have Christopher Jordan Wallace, Jr. to look forward with," she says. "We reached in our relationship now where if anything happens, we can talk and that's the good thing. We can communicate and we can say, 'Let's do this,' or 'Let's do that.'"
His son—who, ironically, played the young version of his father in the movie adaptation of his life—she says, has no aspirations at the moment of being a rapper like his dad. Although he knows all the words to his legendary father's songs, she says, "He's a football player, and he's very happy doing that right now."
At the moment, Ms. Wallace just wants to focus on continuing to put her son's music out and keeping his legacy alive.
"He was a great poet; a great storyteller that put his story behind the music," she says. "Everybody could dance and laugh about it and know the story is imaginable. His funeral was the day, sad to say, that I found out that my sonwas such a figure in the community. Everyone loved him because he was real. They loved him because he was honest. They loved him because he was kind. They loved him, because he was just a gentle giant."

Edited for snark and tone on 4/27/2012 — not because I'm a nice person, but because I do understand it's the right thing to do.
You'd have to not read Catholic Mom Blogs or popular Catholic publications to not have heard of the new Catholic women's book Sex, Style, and Substance, edited by Hallie Lord and published by Our Sunday Visitor. Seemingly, everyone who's anyone in the world of popular Catholic bloggers has read and reviewed the title and given it ten thumbs up.
When I looked for reviews of the book that made substantial criticisms, I couldn't find any. Not one. In fact, the gushing over SSS has been louder than Igazu Falls. Now, no book is perfect, and no book is positively 100 percent adored by everyone who reads it. Not even the works of Dickens enjoy that kind of popularity. After reading yet another rave review last week, I ordered a Kindle copy to satisfy my curiosity.
I have to admit I have found the title off-putting from the start. I simply don't like Catholic advertising that aims at being on the relevant/edgy side. I know, I know, you get folks who would never read something called, perhaps, "Modesty, Married Love, and Faithfulness" to crack the cover and change their lives. You gotta "meet your readers where they're at." But it seems to me that splashing the word "sex" into the title of a Catholic book is just a bit too coarse.
Speaking of meeting your readers, one of the biggest flaws of the book from an editorial stand-point (aside from the odd overuse of the word "jettison" in the first couple chapters) is a failure to give a consistent sense of "audience." There's one chapter for the single woman but the other 70-90 percent of the book is aimed at married women. Who's going to buy a whole book for one personally relevant chapter? Perhaps, they're thinking married women can pass on that chapter to their single friends?
I also couldn't tell if the book was written for very devout and knowledgeable long-time Catholics or newbies. The majority of the book was a bit too basic for more devout and informed Catholics. But certain newbie chapters toss in Catholic words such as "magisterium," which would probably best be footnoted with a definition for folks just coming to the Church or thinking about it.
The very last chapter by Barbara Nicolosi seemed randomly tacked on without any sense that it belonged in the same book with any of the other essays. Oddly enough, it was one of the better written articles in the book (even if I somewhat disagree with Nicolosi's premise). I wish Nicolosi had chosen or been given another topic, as she's covered Catholics in the media amply elsewhere and frequently.
This book has more serious problems, though. While there's nothing in it that a person can point to and say: "A-ha! Here! This contradicts Catholic teaching!" there seems to be a failure to synthesize traditional Catholic teaching with traditional Catholic sensibilities. There's a little too much "of the world," not just "in the world" throughout the book, beginning with the Introduction where Hallie Lord casually makes reference to the movie Bridget Jones's Diary. A movie that merits an L (limited audience – a rating just below "you're going to hell if you watch this") — from the rather liberal movie reviewers at the NCCB. I could see how it would happen that someone could see the movie by mischance. But when writing something for a Catholic publication, I'd hope one's "Catholic filter" would keep her from making a casual allusion to this R-movie. At the very least, if I felt quite compelled to make reference, I would tag on the parenthetical "a movie I don't recommend you ever see" caveat.
I could go through each chapter and pluck out items that made me vaguely uncomfortable and outright cringe-y. I have dozens and dozens of underlines and scribbled notes throughout the book. But so I don't beleaguer my few readers too much, I'll try to hit the most problematic areas. (I'm still not promising this will be short.)
Let me start with the positives: Simcha Fisher's chapter on Motherhood and Danielle Bean's chapter on Marriage. I found their perspectives real, accessible, appropriate and insightful. Bean offers simple, culturally controversial (speaking of secular culture here), but fully Catholic advice on how to bring peace and healing into struggling marriages. I also liked Karen Edmisten's chapter on making time for prayer. Though, I'd quibble with the section "Dance in the Kitchen." I found it a little…odd. It's a personality thing, maybe. Suggesting that we dance to Rock or Jazz or whatever other kind of music so long as it makes us think of God…as prayer? Meh. Not so much.
I wanted to like Jennifer Fulwiler's chapter more than I did because I love so much of her other work, but I found her experience of finding the modern Mary a little too open for misunderstanding. The sort of thing that leads to art where Our Blessed Mother is depicted in modern times wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I also found her language and examples intended to parse sins from quirks which are part of our personal uniqueness much too vague to be truly helpful. Sometimes what people perceive as "quirks" that are to be, according to Fulwiler, "embraced" are not sins but faults to be overcome.
Now for the not-so-great:
Hallie Lord's chapter on Style — which includes the topic of modesty. Her bottom line is that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to modesty, and it's up to each person's individual conscience to decide upon the specific details of modesty for herself. (Having done a little experiment on my Facebook page, I can say Catholic women's personal perceptions of what is modest are ALL OVER the spectrum.) Lord mentions that the saints and leaders in the Church have had guidance to offer on what modesty looks like, but does not drop any names or documents for the reader to follow-up on. That would have been much more helpful than a vague allusion to these writings. The general "rule" she offers her readers is that a dress should be tight enough to show it is a woman wearing it, but loose enough to show she is a lady. Catholic women need a little more guidance with regard to modesty, not to be restrictive, but ultimately to free us — of scruples and misguided perceptions of "modest" attire.
And, while I recognize the essence of what Lord tries to express in the section of her chapter entitled "Taking Care of You," there is something in the way she expresses herself that makes me uncomfortable, and leaves me wondering how mothers who were saints would advise women on the notion of "self-pampering." And, how many women do we know who insist on their own "me time," while never considering their husband's need for down time from obligations?
"What Works for You" by Rebecca Ryskind Teti touches on a topic I've written about before. Her thesis is that it doesn't matter if you're a SAHM or a mom who works outside the home, you gotta do what you gotta do and whatever you want to do is great, there is no ideal. I disagree. Sometimes mothers have to work for financial reasons. But staying home to raise your own children is the Catholic ideal. No, there's no document stating it's a sin not to stay home, but there are plenty of popes who iterate that a mother's fundamental job in normal circumstances is to be in the home taking care of her kids.
Like Pope Pius XI:
Mothers, concentrating on household duties, should work primarily in the home or in its immediate vicinity. It is an intolerable abuse, and to be abolished at all cost, for mothers on account of the father's low wage to be forced to engage in gainful occupations outside the home to the neglect of their proper cares and duties, especially the training of children.
Anna Mitchell's chapter on marriage and the single gal is okay, but she hits a sour note when she says women should not judge a potential suitor based upon "marriageability." She goes on to say you shouldn't reject an upstanding guy because you cannot immediately imagine him in a tux standing next to you in a white dress. I'm not really sure what this means practically speaking, but the whole point of dating is "marriage." A guy should be "marriageable" in some basic respects, at least within the foreseeable future, before getting too involved an an exclusive relationship. Since Mitchell admits giving advice on courtship and dating as a single, she peppers her chapter with "my friends say … " That explains her, at times, rather inexperienced/immature perspective. I think this chapter would actually have been better written by a married person.
Rachel Balducci's chapter on Friendship is rather basic and includes too much pop psych talk for me. Any time someone speaks of "toxic relationships" or "setting healthy boundaries,"I think: Secular self-help book. I don't believe friendships should be judged by whether or not they "bring us down;" the merit of any friendship is based upon whether or not it brings us closer to Christ or further away — that can take the form of sacrifice in friendships that are one-sided. If there's little in the friendship for you, that's called "true charity." Friendships that lead you to sin –to gossiping, to feelings of vanity, to worldliness, or to developing negative attitudes about men or your marriage — those are the ones you should avoid.
The inclusion of Elizabeth Duffy's chapter titled Sex, Passion, and Purity, makes this book, which has some truly laudable elements, something I could not honestly recommend. The chapter started out good and solid and then took a nosedive because of the nature of the humor and coarseness of language. I was encouraged when a friend sent me a link to Duffy's blog in which she writes that she was disappointed with her chapter. I started to feel relieved, maybe she realized she got carried away trying to be "relevant," then she fleshed out why she was disappointed:
With my own chapter, I felt a bit of disappointment. Even my mom said, "It contained more restraint than I usually associate with your writing." And I thought, "That's no good. It's the sex chapter. It's supposed to break through the membrane of silence that surrounds the sex lives of Catholic women."
Oh, boy. Again, there was nothing in it that specifically contradicted Catholic teaching. It was meant to be "fun" and "honest" and approachable so a nominal Catholic wouldn't think orthodox Catholics have to be all stodgy about the topic of sexuality. But thinking about this chapter reminded me of something Scott Hahn once said to my Freshman theology class back at Steubenville: "Sex is not 'good;' Campbell's Soup is 'Mm-mmm good.' Sex is not 'great;' 'Tony's Frosted Flakes — They're grrrrrrr-eat!' Sex … is holy."
Duffy on how Catholics ought to speak about sex:
In many Catholic books that discuss sex, you'll find words like "connubial embrace" and "marital act," — words that elevate sex to heavenly heights no mortal can breach. While sex is no joke, let's also not take it too seriously. Any time two adults proceed in a game of Twister, they're going to need a sense of humor. Here are some ideas to put fun back in the funny business.
Since I think her message is influenced by the spirit of Christopher West's "Theology of the Body," I will preface some of the other objectionable quotes from the chapter with a quote from Alice von Hildebrand's critique of West:
The French have a wonderful word to capture the veiling of one's intimate feelings, out of a proper sense of shame—pudeur, a "holy bashfulness," so to speak. Seized as he is by what he regards as his calling to evangelize a new generation with this theology in "modern" ways they can supposedly better understand, West practically ignores the importance ofpudeur, and, by his imprudence, winds up undermining his own message.
It is holy bashfulness and reverence which creates the "membrane of silence" Duffy decries in her regrets. I'm only going to use a few examples to illustrate the sort of thing in Duffy's chapter I found deeply objectionable:
Before marriage I thought that sex was a right for married people, an all-you-can-eat sex buffet. My husband and I gorged at that buffet for the first two years of marriage, and then we felt sick. I resented him because sex didn't have the same risks for him. … I often put him in the position of begging for sex that I made clear that I was in no mood to enjoy ("Mind if I read a book while you do that?")
I've concluded that many of us downplay the importance of our own pleasure in the married relationship. It's easy to do. At the end of a day spent meeting the needs of our children or the demands of our jobs, our husbands can seem like one more person who wants something from us. We may feel tempted to fake climax, or to give up and get it over with. But we're not running a sex charity here…
Though there are times in life for the occasional 'quickie,' giving up on finding our own pleasure in sex is not an option. … Repeatedly omitting our own pleasure in sex is a tacit consent to being used…
Whatever her good intentions are in being helpful to Catholic couples, Duffy undermines the reality, beauty, and transcendence of Catholic teaching on human sexuality by speaking so crudely and so openly her personal experience.
My friends, I am disconcerted that this book has reached such an exalted state of popularity among serious Catholic women. While there are certainly praiseworthy elements, there is much in it that should send the red flags up. Yet, not a word of criticism is offered from any corner. That's odd and upsetting to me.
I am concerned with what I perceive to be a central group of influential Catholic female authors who are shaping Catholic culture. I do wonder if some of the authors of this book lack a sense of the cultural traditions of femininity/motherhood/marriage within Catholicism, or are they engaged in actively "updating" tradition? I truly hope that they are not agitating for "changes with the times," having been influenced by secular feminism. Perhaps, they believe Pope John Paul II's ideal of the Feminine Genius heralded a call for such changes in Catholic thought. My hope is that there can be a revitalization in Catholic women's culture by a rise in popularity of Catholic writers who respect the traditions and advice of popes and saints through the ages…and make those accessible to average Catholics.

Just fine as far as I can tell :)
Very smooth and useful. Thanks. Can Vodcasts also be linked and viewed?
I think so, have a crack and let me know!
(Although YouTube-ing them might save a world of pain!)
That's pretty cool — can you tell me how you made that mp3 feature? Is it a plugin? I've been using podpress on my podcast site, http://www.techwritervoices.com, but the podpress widget slows down the dashboard considerably. I'd like to have an audio player feature that did not slow down the dashboard.
Also, do you have a subscribe to comments feature here? That's a nice plugin that let's me know when you follow up with my comment. Thanks,
oops, disregard the note about the subscribe to comments feature. For some reason I didn't see it when I commented.
We use a tweaked version of anarchy media player – http://an-archos.com/anarchy-media-player
Podpress does my nut in too. Personally like.
Is this feature the Talkr Podcast plugin? If not, where do we download it?
This is separate from Talkr – for mp3 files you upload or link to yourself.
The inline MP3 player is playing at 2 or 3X on my blog. It sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks. The downloaded files play fine on Quicktime or Windows Media Player. How can I fix this? My blog is at:
Never mind. The problem was in the voice recording software (WildVoice Studio). When I used a different export method it worked fine.
I'd really appreciate some help. I've previously managed to put podcasts on our class blog – but the 'audio' icon doesn't work any more? The podcast can play if the link is pressed, but the icon either doesn't work or has the chipmunk effect mentioned earlier. I've tried it both ways … using our wiki as a host, or uploading from the pc.
I get there through 'trial and error' methods, so require a very simple explanation if I'm doing something different from usual (but really can't think what!)
Check out our Scottish poem links at http://carronshore.edublogs.org/
Confused P7teach!!
I managed to get one of them to work – but it was very speedy indeed… I'm guessing it's a problem with the mp3s?
You also have a lot of RockYou downloads going on… they could be impeding it by taking a while to download.
Great blog BTW! Have a play with different browsers and the file and let me know how you go.
Cheers, James
Hi James,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm learning to do things the quick way (?), so have 'copied and pasted' comments from the class blog!
From John at
'Hi Guys,
I love the reading well done, sound like you have really practiced. It is a great poem for reading aloud.
I got the middle flash player to work but Nathan and Marc sound like pinky and perk I think that you need to have the rate set to a multiple of 10000 hz for a mp3 to play in flash.
The other two players didn't work for me.
No matter the text links worked and sounded super. '
2. p7teach – January 29, 2007
Thanks, John
I'm still confused! If I listen to the podcast about our graph (January 17th), the icon works fine. I don't usually touch the 'rate' setting, but I've tried it at different rates this time and the icons still don't work. We've put a few podcasts on previously and we always do it the same way …. I left a comment on http://edublogs.org/2006/12/14/podcasts-now-playable-downloadable/#comments
and James left this comment

I don't think it's the mp3's because the text links work fine? RockYou doesn't interfere with previous podcasts….. oh well, at least we can hear the poems!!

VLC is unarguably the most popular video player out there for all platforms out there. The app is not only available for Windows, Mac and Linux, it is also available for iOS.
Since VLC is open source, and Android is also open source, it was just a matter of time before VLC for Android was released. However, quite a lot of time has passed but VLC for Android is still under development. One CM developer did release a 'kanged' version of VLC for Android, but never got around to actually updating it.
Now, one user over at XDA forums has released an unofficial build of VLC for Android. The user, adridu59, is not the developer of the app, but has only built it from the source.
The developer has been constantly updating the app, and has released three builds of it, optimized for ARM 11, Cortex-A8/NEON and Cortex-A9 SOCs respectively. The app also supports H/W acceleration, but it is a bit buggy right now.Keep in mind that VLC for Android is still under development; so consider this 'kanged' build a pre-alpha version of the app.
The APK file of VLC for Android file can be downloaded from here.

The Bears didn't introduce Brian Urlacher last out of the Soldier Field tunnel before Sunday's 30-12 victory over the Falcons so he could nap longer. And they didn't petition the league to play as many noon games as possible so Urlacher still can make the Early Bird Special.
But if you were surprised to see the aging linebacker nimbly leave his feet to intercept quarterback Matt Ryan on the play that was the beginning of the end for the Falcons, you had company on the Bears sideline.

A so-called seduction artist invited me to one of his private meetings last night. He claims to be a protégé of that guy that Tom Cruise's character is based on in Magnolia. The seduce and destroy king. The one that has the deep seated emotional issues that turn out to be stemmed by his stubborn father who dies regretting everything he ever did. Apparently he's a legend. He does seminars in tropical resorts where he teaches men a version of Neural Linguistic Programming which is basically a bunch of psychological techniques that inspire women to want to hump you. In the advanced class he charges several thousand dollars to reveal how to shoot energy beams out of your groin and talk to a woman's libido on the Chimpanzee level. From what I can tell though it's a bit like the Jedi mind trick in that it only works on Stormtroopers and drunk out-of-towners. Then again at least its an honest package. First you seduce yourself into a relationship, then you destroy it. Because once you're in it you have no idea how to maintain it. But this guy was nothing like him. He'd split entirely from his school of thought because he disagreed with the principles. In particular the idea of trying to control emotions. Becuase he said that if either party ever tried to suppress something they'd just give themselves a tumor. Because it wasn't about suppression. It was about understanding expression. About changing ones perception of the so-called negative kind where she calls you one thing and you call her another. It was about seeing it as an energy exchange like any other. Like Squash or Paddycake. He said that the domestic dispute had been given a bad rap. That we needed to reeducate ourselves in the art of making war because it was the inverted side of making love. That it was just as natural as rain or darkness. Because if all the earth ever got was sunshine nothing would ever grow. Because only a thunderstorm has the power to cleanse build-up and make way for new life.

Women are fed up of watching men get all upset and walk away the minute they tell us they have boyfriends. They're completely fed up with it. It makes us look like losers. Like zombies totally content with having sex with people we're not even interested in talking to. It so embarrassing. And they see it immediately. They even wait for us to expose ourselves. You can ask them. They know whats happening. They can smell bullshit a mile off. They string us along just watch us fall harder. They're not stupid. They watch us playing that super nice guy, that oh so charming role, right up until the moment they say it and we drop the mask and suddenly go from nice guy, to douche bag. What do we really expect? For them to walk around with vagina unavailable signs on their foreheads? Its ridiculous. If we could just spend a single day as a woman, a single night, just to watch ourselves and the ways in which we use one utterly lame, completely transparent ruse after another, solely for the purpose of getting laid, we'd be disgusted.

It looks like the limited supply of iPad Minis, which has resulted in Apple Store lines and shipping delays from online retailers, just got even more limited. A pair of clever thieves made off with 3600 of the new tablets on Monday night, after breaking into a warehouse at JFK airport in New York.
The heist, which netted the participants about $1.5 million worth of iPad Minis, is highly reminiscent of a 1978 heist from the exact same warehouse. Back then, the haul was over $5 million in cash instead of a bunch of iPads, and the guy responsible got away clean. It's one of the biggest heists in American history, and is the inspiration for the final scenes of Scorsese's Goodfellas. (Which, by the way, is an absolutely incredible movie.)
In the case of the modern reenactment of that heist, it looks like it may have been an inside job. The two men responsible rolled up to the warehouse shortly after midnight in a white semi truck, and someone let them in and out of the building after the lifted the goods. This is also oddly similar to the 1978 heist, when the mafia had their own guys working security at the warehouse. Investigators have been questioning the security guards who were working on Monday night, to see if any of them were in on it.
There's some question as to what the crooks will actually be able to do with all those stolen iPads, as Apple may have a way of shutting down specific MAC addresses and rendering individual iPads inoperable. The iPads in question are at this point still unused, having arrived straight from the factory in China. If the thieves do decide to power them up, however, they might have trouble on their hands.
