Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, through laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
"A dazzlingly singular achievement....Striking a perfect balance between the fantasies and neighborhood conspiracies of childhood and the mounting lunacy of Khomeini's reign, she's like the Persian love child of Spiegelman and Lynda Barry." Salon
"A triumph....Like Maus, Persepolis is one of those comic books capable of seducing even those most allergic to the genre. The author's masterstroke is to allow us to experience history from within her family, with irony and tenderness." Libération (France)
"I cannot praise enough Marjane Satrapi's moving account of growing up as a spirited young girl in revolutionary and war-time Iran. Persepolis is disarming and often humorous but ultimately it is shattering." Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde
"I thought [Persepolis] was a superb piece of work....Satrap has found a way of depicting human beings that is both simple and immediately comprehensible, AND is almost infinitely flexible. Anyone who's tried to draw a simplified version of a human face knows how immensely difficult it is not only to give the faces a range of expression, but also to maintain identities from one frame to the next. It's an enormous technical accomplishment." Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass
"You've never seen anything like Persepolis — the intimacy of a memoir, the irresistability of a comic book, and the political depth of a the conflict between fundamentalism and democracy. Marjane Satrapi may have given us a new genre." Gloria Steinem
"[A] timely and timeless story....Powerfully understated, this work joins other memoirs — Spiegelman's Maus and Sacco's Safe Area Goradze — that use comics to make the unthinkable familiar." Publishers Weekly
"Satrapi's super-naive style is powerful; it persuasively communicates confusion and horror through the eyes of a precocious preteen." Joy Press, Village Voice
"[Satrapi] is such a talented artist and her black-and-white drawings are so captivating, it seems wrong to call her memoir a comic book....What Satrapi hopes to do is defend her country, and her beguiling memoir should accomplish that for many readers." The Nation
"Satrapi converts a childhood filled with secret police and a long war with Iraq into a comic strip that is both funny and dark." Sandip Roy, San Francisco Chronicle
"The fact that [Satrapi] is able to portray such a vast range of emotions with a few simple strokes of a pen is impressive. That she does this consistently for 153 pages is a mighty achievement." USA Today
"Satrapi pulls us into the story, which looks harmless, almost cute amid its cartoon-like illustrations. No sooner have we read the first page, however, than we're drawn into a heartbreaking tale..." Bernadette Murphy, Los Angeles Times
"[T]he best coming-of-age story I've read in years....Satrapi manages to portray the often funny, largely forgotten mundanities of everyday life alongside and intermingled with the escalating horror of a culture torn violently between fundamentalism and secularism." Bethany Schneider, Newsday
"American readers and booksellers...will likely find the form of Persepolis as striking as its content. Happily, a comic book's cardinal virtue is its accessibility. Persepolis will entertain bored teenagers and edify experts on the Middle East." Jeremy Smith, Chicago Tribune
"[T]he latest and one of the most delectable examples of a booming postmodern genre: autobiography by comic book....Satrapi's drawing style is bold and vivid." Fernanda Eberstadt, The New York Times Book Review
"[An] extraordinary autobiography....A remarkable, revealing, and sometimes startling account, this is sure to be one of the most important graphic novels of the year. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"[T]eens will learn much of the history of this important area and will identify with young Marji and her friends. This is a graphic novel of immense power and importance for Westerners of all ages. It will speak to the same audience as Art Spiegelman's Maus." School Library Journal
"Satrapi's literary and graphic narratives provide a moving, humorous, and powerful view of life under a totalitarian religious state....A powerful, understated ending that brought tears to my eyes." Jennifer Ralston, Children's Literature
"This is an excellent comic book, that deserves a place with Joe Sacco and even Art Spiegelman. In her bold black and white panels, Satrapi eloquently reasserts the moral bankruptcy of all political dogma and religious conformity; how it bullies, how it murders, and how it may always be ridiculed by individual rebellions of the spirit and the intellect." Zadie Smith, author of White Teeth
"This witty, moving and illuminating book demonstrates graphically why the future of Iran lies with neither the clerics nor the American Empire." Tariq Ali, author of The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity
"I found the work immensely moving with depths of nuance and wisdom that one might never expect to find in a comic book. It's a powerful, mysterious, enchanting story that manages to reflect a great swath of Iranian contemporary history within the sensitive, intimate tale of a young girl's coming-of-age. I didn?t want it to end!" Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Crescent and Arabian Jazz
"A rare and chilling memoir that offers every reader a personal, honest portrait of Iran's recent political and cultural history. Ms. Satrapi's provocative, graphic narrative of life in Iran before and after the Islamic revolution is an extraordinary testament to the level of human suffering experienced by Iranians tossed from one political hypocrisy to another. Aside from the humanistic dimension, the beautifully minimalist Persepolis gives further evidence of Marjane Satrapi's sensitivity and superb skill as an artist." Shirin Neshat, visual artist/filmmaker
"Readers who have always wanted to look beyond political headlines and CNN's cliches should plunge into this unique illustrated story. Let Marji be your trusted companion, follow her into the warmth of a Persian home and out along Tehran's turbulent streets during those heady days of revolution. Persepolis opens a rare door to understanding of events that still haunt America, while shining a bright light on the personal humanity and humor so much alive in Iranian families today." Terence Ward, author of Searching for Hassan
"Blending the historical with the personal is not an easy task, to blend the individual with the universal is even more challenging. But Marjane Satrapi has succeeded brilliantly. This graphic novel is a reminder of the human spirit that fights oppression and death, it is a witness to something true and lasting which is more affective than hundreds of news broadcasts." Hanan al-Shaykh, author of Women of Sand and Myrhh
"Both enchanting and devastingly real, Persepolis captures the many complexities of modern Iran, filtered through compelling illustrations and a wise child's eye." Christiane Bird, author of Neither East Nor West
"I'm not normally a comic book reader, and I'll admit I was skeptical. Within the first few pages, though, I felt the tiny hand of the narrator pulling me into her world. As she regaled me with tales of her extraordinary life, I found myself moved, fascinated, shocked and enthralled. The next time I looked up, I had finished the book. I looked around the room feeling bewildered. How, I wondered, did this wonderful little book manage to transport me so completely?" Alison Wearing, author of Honeymoon in Purdah
"This child's eye view of survival during Iran's revolution and the Iraq war made me laugh and cry. Most importantly, it helped me to see recent upheavals in a new way. This comic strip should be required reading!" Suzanne Fisher Staples, author of Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind and Haveli
"I grew up reading the Mexican comics of Gabriel Vargas, graduated to the political teachings of Rius, fell under the spell of Linda Barry, Art Spiegelman, and now I am a fan of Marjane Satrapi. Her stories thrummed in my heart for days. Persepolis is part history book, part Scheherazade, astonishing as only true stories can be. I learned much about the history of Iran, but more importantly, it gave me hope for humanity in these unkind times." Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street and Caramelo
From the best-selling author of Fun Home, Time magazine's No. 1 Book of the Year, a poignant and hilarious graphic memoir of Alison Bechdel becoming the artist her gifted mother always wanted to be.
From the best-selling author of Fun Home, Time magazines No. 1 Book of the Year, a brilliantly told graphic memoir of Alison Bechdel becoming the artist her mother wanted to be.
Alison Bechdels Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdels own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother—to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.

Rangers @ Devils
Prudential Center, 7:00 p.m. Friday
Rangers' record: 6-5-1
Devils' record: 4-9-1
Tonight's game against the Devils is going to be tougher than initially expected.
Fresh off an emotional win against the defending Stanley Cup champions in Chicago, the New Jersey Devils return home from a six-game road trip with eyes for a new beginning. Beating the New York Rangers—perpetual cross-river rivals and the team that sent them packing for their grueling Western road-trip after a crushing 3-1 defeat—would be the perfect way for the Devils to mount a comeback.
Despite the Devils' important win against the Blackhawks Wednesday night, their well publicized woes are far from over. Star forward Zach Parise, who has led the Devils in goals for the past four years, will be missing three months after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus. Parise is only the latest addition to a cramped Devils' IR, which includes veterans Anton Volchenkov, Bryce Salvador, and Brian Rolston. The remainder of the Devils' lineup hasn't exactly picked up the slack in their absence; the Devils have a league worst minus-20 goal differential, and are a measly 3 for 44 on the power play. In fourteen games played, the Devils are second to last in the league with nine points. Ilya Kovalchuk, meanwhile, has scored only three goals this season, with none in his past five games. And when it seemed that nothing else could go wrong for the snakebitten Devils, goalie Martin Brodeur took a shot to the elbow during Wednesday night's game and went to the locker room towards the end of the second period. However, Brodeur said it was just a "stinger", and he is expected to play against the Rangers tonight.
While the Devils enjoyed a day off in between games, the Rangers head straight to the Rock after last night's disappointing loss in Philadelphia. Coach Tortorella summed up the game succinctly and accurately enough, saying both teams turned in a "sloppy" and "crappy" performance. Brandon Dubinsky's team-leading eighth goal of the season gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, but the Blueshirts mustered up close to zero offensive opportunities after Dubinsky's tally. According to Michael Del Zotto, the Rangers came in looking for "revenge" for last season's heartbreaking, season-ending defeat, but that energetic spark eluded the Rangers all night.
Tonight's match-up is an important and decisive game for both teams. The Devils will be riding high on the momentum gained from their win in Chicago, and the Rangers need to regain their momentum after a frustrating loss in Philly. Hopefully, the Rangers will turn in a better effort against the Devils and play with the offensive grit that has thrilled us in games past.
Edit: Post-morning skate reports are that Johan Hedberg will get the start tonight for the Devils in place of Martin Brodeur.

Committing public assistance fraud is a serious crime and we need your help to keep it out of our community.
Public Assistance or Benefit fraud occurs when individuals lie or withhold information to receive benefits that they are not eligible for or use their benefits for monetary gain. People who commit benefit fraud, steal valuable resources and hurt those that need benefits the most.
Through enhanced technology and a new partnership between Buncombe County Health and Human Services, the Sheriff's Department, and the District Attorney's Office, we have joined forces to educate, report, investigate and prosecute fraud in our community.
We all have a part to play in keeping benefit fraud out of our community:
Through a newly integrated case management system called NC Fast, eligibility is better tracked across programs and universal caseworkers have access to client information across all public assistance programs, and therefore are able to uncover fraud more quickly.
Building on this new technology, Health and Human Services, in partnership with the sheriff's department and the district attorney's office have created a team that has expertise on public assistance and investigation skills to detect and investigate cases of benefit fraud.
This team works to investigate and prosecute offenders as well as educate the public that benefit fraud is a serious crime.
You need to know:
Together we can make sure that those who need help the most get it. Join us in this partnership to stop public assistance fraud in our community.

CSU Leaders Take to the Pulpit in Super Sunday Events Across
the State in February
CSU Super Sunday message calls for college planning as
early as the 6th grade
Erik Fallis or
Clara Potes-Fellow
(562) 951- 4800
(February 2, 2011) - California State University officials will be speaking at Super Sunday events at more than 100 predominantly African American churches throughout the state in February.
The events, reaching more than 100,000 churchgoers, are part of CSU's outreach to educate students and families about the requirements to successfully enter college and obtain a degree. Participants also receive information about financial aid and the CSUMentor.edu web site that provides the tools to plan and apply to a CSU campus.
"Super Sunday is an opportunity to highlight the value of receiving a college degree," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "Nearly eight in 10 future job openings in the U.S. will require postsecondary education. We want to make sure that each year more African American students graduate from college and are able to compete for these jobs."
After the church service, parents and students will have the opportunity to talk to CSU representatives and receive the How To Get To College poster -- a practical guide about how to prepare for college beginning in the 6th and 7th grades. The guide, available in several languages, in print and electronic form, provides the list of classes that students need to take grade by grade to qualify for admission to the CSU. It also provides tips for parents and mentors to help students succeed.
The 2011 Super Sunday events will take place as follows:
Feb. 13, in Bakersfield, Chancellor Reed will speak at the 11 a.m. service at St. John Missionary Baptist Church. Events also will take place at churches in Antioch, Hayward, Newark, Pittsburg, Temecula, San Jose and San Bernardino.
Feb. 20, events will take place at Northern California churches in Oakland, Richmond, Berkeley, Hayward, Antioch, San Pablo, Vallejo, Freemont, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Seaside, Milpitas, San Mateo, El Cerrito, Fairfield, Sun Village and Bakersfield. In Southern California, there will be events in Carson and Riverside and Chancellor Reed will speak in Irvine at Christ Our Redeemer AME, at 10:30 a.m.
Feb. 27, services will take place at Southern California churches in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Riverside, Inglewood, Irvine, Yorba Linda, Gardena, Carson, Corona, San Bernardino, Pasadena, Oxnard, Compton, Temecula, Norwalk, Rancho Dominguez, Fontana, Santa Ana and Oceanside.
The annual Super Sunday event is produced by the CSU African American Initiative -- a partnership between CSU campuses and African American religious leaders with the goal of increasing college going rates among African American students. The initiative is led by Chancellor Reed and engages CSU Trustees, campus presidents, executives and staff.
For more information about the list of participating churches, times of service and locations, go to the Super Sunday website.
Visit the CSU External Relations website to learn more about the CSU African American Initiative and other community initiatives and partnerships to address college access for underserved communities.

Its significance, explained in the Golden Legend of James of Voragine, as Englished by William Caxton.
Sequence by Adam of St. Victor:
|January 2013
The subject on which I am about to treat is one of far more importance than the generality of men may be willing to admit; it is not a mere question of architectural detail, respecting a few mullions and a transverse beam, but it involves great principles connected with discipline, and even faith, and it is a question in which all those who either wish for the revival of ancient solemnity and reverence, or even the preservation of what yet remains, are most deeply interested. The contest that has been raised by the restoration of screens in England is not altogether new; it occurred in France during the latter part of the last century, when a vile spirit of modern innovation appears to have arisen among a portion of the French clergy, chiefly in the capitular bodies, and more injury was then inflicted on the great churches of that country than was caused by the outrages of the Calvinists and Huguenouts in the civil wars of the sixteenth century. The traditions of the church, as regards the disposition and arrangement of ecclesiastical buildings in the northern countries, do not appear to have been much affected by the revived paganism of the sixteenth century; the details were debased and incongruous, but the things remained unaltered in principle - rood lofts were erected, choirs were stalled, cruciform churches, with aisles and lateral and lady chapels, and transepts, were the general type that followed, and screens for choirs, side chapels, and altars were universal. But gradually, from the adoption of the details of classic antiquity, the buildings themselves became objects of imitation, till revived paganism displayed its full absurdity in the substitution of a temple of Jupiter for a church of the crucified Redeemer in the huge room called the Madeleine. Designed by infidels, built by infidels, and suited only for infidel purposes, and then turned over, for want of another use, to become a church!...[A Treatise on Chancel Screens and Rood Lofts: their Antiquity, Use and Symbolic Signification by A.W.N. Pugin. London: Charles Dolman, 1851]
I have been induced to speak particularly of this edifice, as it is the beau ideal of a modern church in the minds of those who are opposed to screens; for the principles of these men, worked out to their legitimate ends, are subversive of every tradition and the whole system of ecclesiastical architecture. Screens are, in truth, the very least part of the cause of their animosity to the churches of their Fathers, for if any man says he loves pointed architecture, and hates screens, I do not hesitate to denounce him as a liar, for one is inseparable from the other, and more, inseparable from Catholic arrangement in any style, Byzantine, Norman, Pointed, or debased. We have now to contend for the great principles of Catholic antiquity - tradition and reverence against modern development and display. It is not a struggle for taste or ornament, but a contention for vital principles. There is a most intimate connection between the externals of religion and the faith itself; and it is scarcely possible to preserve the interior faith in the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist if all exterior reverence and respect is to be abolished.
There is no higher act in the Christian religion, says Father Le Brun, than the Sacrifice of the Mass; the greater portion of the other Sacraments, and nearly all the offices and ceremonies of the Church, are only the means or the preparation to celebrate or participate in it worthily. Such being the case, it is but natural that the place where this most holy sacrifice is to be offered up, should be set apart and railed off from less sacred portions of the church, and we find this to have been the case in all ages, in all styles, and in all countries professing the Catholic faith down to a comparatively very recent period, when in many places all feelings of sanctity, tradition, and reverence, seemed to have been superseded by ignorant innovation and love of change.
It will be shown in this work that the idea of room-worship, and the all-seeing principles, is a perfect novelty. Those indeed who would make the Mass a sight, are only to be compared to the innovators of the 16th century, who made it essential to be heard; those who compiled the Book of Common Prayer converted the Mass into all-hearing service; this was the great object of the vernacular change, that people might hear the priest; they were to be edified by what he said, more than what he did; the sacrifical act was merged into the audible recitation of prayers and exhortations; for this reason the altars, in the reign of Edward the Sixth, were to be moved down from their eastern position to the entrance of the chancel, to enable the people to hear; this led to the demolition of the stone altars and the substitution of tables. For this reason, in large parochial churches, the chancel has been often entirely cut off, and a portion of the nave glazed in and reduced to such a size that the people could hear the clergyman; these were all natural consequences of the change of principle consequent on the translation of the Mass, and the altered nature of its celebration. That churches are now built after the old tradition for the service of the separated portion of the English Church, is purely owing to an internal revival of Catholic feelings and traditions in that body; the effect is the erection of churches in accordance with those feelings. It has been a charge and reproach made by Catholics against their separated countrymen, that the old fabrics were unsuited to their purpose, and unquestionably, on the principle that it was essential for every one to hear, they were so. But I will ask these new-fashioned men: if it is indispensible for every one to see, how much better are they adapted for modern Catholic rites? They become as unfit for one as the other, for it is unquestionable, that comparatively very few persons in these cruciform churches could obtain a view of the altar, and this independent of any screen-work, the disposition of the pillars intersecting and shutting out all those who are stationed in the aisles and transepts.
I have always imagined that one great distinction between the Protestant and the Catholic services was this, that the former was essentially a hearing service, at which only a comparatively few persons could assist, while at the latter many thousands, or, indeed, hundreds of thousands could unite in one great act of adoration and praise, concentrating their thoughts and intentions with the priest who is offering at God's altar, although he is far shut off from their vision.
Real Protestants have always built rooms for their worship, or walled up their old churches, when they have fallen into their possession, into four or five distinct spaces, as in Scotland. But the separated Church of England, though Protestant in position, in name, and in practice, has retained so much of the old traditions in her service, and is linked by so many ties to older and better times, that she naturally turns back to them with affection and reverence, and seeks, as far as her maimed rites and fettered position will admit, to restore the departed glory of the sanctuary. Few persons are aware that the choirs of three of the English cathedrals were completely restalled, and after the old arrangements, by the munificence of churchmen in the seventeenth century; moreover, the completion of some towers and extensive works date from the same period. It is a consoling fact that the cathedrals of England retain more of their old Catholic arrangements and fittings than most of those on the continent: and as regards the fabricks, they have suffered less injury, and have preserved their original character most wonderfully. Architecturally, we must certainly admit that the Anglicans have been good tenants of the old fabricks; we must not test them by the works of preceding centuries, but by the corresponding period; and when we reflect on the debased state of design and art that prevailed, even in those countries which were nominally exclusively Catholic, we may be thankful that our great religious edifices have been so well handed down to our times, when the recognition of their beauty and grandeur is daily increasing. I have dilated upon this subject, for if the lingering remains of Catholic traditions which have been so imperfectly preserved since the separation of England in the sixteenth century, have yet produced such edifying results, how much more have we reason to expect from those who should possess them in all their fullness! and how heart-rending, how deplorable, how scandalous is it to behold even priests of the very temple combining, by word and deed, to break down the barriers erected by ancient reverence and faith!
But to return, I cannot too strongly impress on the minds of my readers that the very vitals of Catholic architecture are assailed by the opponents of screens.
Those who complain of not being able to see in a Pointed church should have assisted at an ancient service in a Roman basilica; the altar surrounded by pillars sustaining veils and curtains, and covered by a ciborium, was placed in front of the celebrant, of whom nothing could be discerned by the congregation except an occasional glimpse of his head; the space behind the altar was reserved for the bishop and his presbyters, while in front was the choir for those who sung, walled round to a considerable height, averaging five feet, wnd within, or occasionally outside, this space, were the amboes for th epistle and gospel, marble rostrums, ascended by steps, and usually of large dimensions; moreover, the basilicae were constructed with aisles, like pointed churches, so that not one-tenth part of the congregation could have seen either the celebrant or the mensae of the altar. And although it does not appear that the Latin Church has purposely excluded the sight of the altar from the people, yet from the beginning the canonical arrangement of her sacred edifices has had the practical effect of cutting off its view from a very large portion of the assisting faithful.
Christians of the present time have but little idea of the solemnity of the ancient worship of the Catholic Church; ordained ministers were alone permitted to fill the humblest offices about the sanctuary, every object connected with the sacred rites were considered deserving of the most loving care; even in the very early ages, the vessels of the altar were usually of precious metals, and studded with jewels. the books of the holy Gospels were written in golden text on purple vellum, bound in plates of silver encasing ivory diptychs, and deposited in portable shrines, like relics. Though all this should fill us with admiration, there is nothing to excite surprise, when we reflect on the very sacred nature of the Christian mysteries - no sign typical and prophetic, as under the Mosaic law, but our blessed Lord truly present and abiding in the temple in the holy sacrament of the altar - it is by no means wonderful that the Christian worship should assume a form of solemnity formerly unknown, and we are only astounded that with the perpetuation of the doctrine the practice of external solemnity should have so lamentably become decayed in the latter times; indeed, so sacred, so awful, so mysterious is the sacrifice of the Mass, that if men were seriously to reflect on what it really consists, so far from advocating mere rooms for celebration, they would hasten to restore the reverential arrangements of Catholic antiquity, and instead of striving for front seats and first places, they would hardly feel worthy to occupy the remotest corner of the temple. The form and arrangement of the ancient churches originated from the deepest feelings of reverence; the altar, or place of sacrifice, was accessible only to those who ministered, it was enclosed by pillars and veils; the sanctuary was veiled, the choir was enclosed, and the faithful adored at a respectful distance. All this, and the custom of every succeeding century, is in utter opposition to the modern all-seeing principle, and which, if it is carried out, ends in an absurd conclusion; for if it be essential for every worshipper to see, even a level room would not answer the purpose, and the floor must be raised like an ampitheatre to elevate the receding spectators, for unless the people be thus raised, they form a far greater barrier than any screen-work..... If religious ceremonies are to be regarded as spectacles they should be celebrated in regular theatres, which have been expressly intended for the purpose of accomodating great assemblages of persons to hear and see well. It has been most justly said, that there is no legitimate halting-place between Catholic doctrine and positive infidelity, and I am quite certain that there is none between a church built on Christian tradition and symbolism and Covent Garden Theatre with its pit, boxes, and gallery. It is only by putting the question in this forcible contrast that persons can really understand the danger of these new notions, or the lengths to which they may eventually lead; and I trust it may be the means of raising a feeling of the greatest repugnance to them in the hearts of every true Catholic.
The St. Katharinenthal novice Kathrin Brümsin was taught the text to all twenty-four verses of the sequence Verbum dei by Saint John the Evangelist in a dream-vision. This sequence celebrated the saint and was popular at St. Katharinenthal. In Kathrin's dream, the saint carried a book with him in which the sequence was written in golden letters. This vision is referred to twice in the monastery's Sister-Book. The first vita gives the context of the vision, the second records what was written in the golden letters, providing the incipits for the twenty-four verses in Latin with a full German translation.The aforementioned sequence:
The sibyl to medieval men is a profound symbol. She is the voice of the classical world. Through her mouth the whole of antiquity speaks, and she testifies that the Gentiles themselves were not left without visions of Christ. While the prophets were announcing the Messiah to the Jew, the sibyl was promising a Savior to the pagan, and the two people were filled with the same desire.In the Eritrean Sibyl's oracle, one passage describing the end of the world contains an acrostic; the letters at the beginning of each line, read vertically, spell out in Greek Jesus Christ Son of God Savior. A Latin translation, quoted by St. Augustine in City of God, preserves part of the acrostic. This was chanted in the medieval Christmas Eve Matis liturgy of the Processus Prophetarum:

Not the same formulation
Posted by 4656346915370708633 on Feb 03, 2014
I used to order these all the time and just needed 1 sachet for my coffee. But I ran out of my old stock and reordered and the new batch has a completely different taste. Now even if I add 2 packs to my coffee, it still does not sweeten. Plus it has a weird aftertaste. Its a shame as this used to be the best stevia around and I'm unsure why they changed the formulation on this. Very disappointed.
Bad quality
Posted by 5764340770168396614 on Jun 26, 2014
It was okay when I got it. Some aftertaste, but nothing too terrible. But after storing about 2months, all the powder turned hard and molded into a piece of chewing gum lookalike thing. Not sure if it's the climate or just a bad product.

Our Navy, while in the hundreds of thousands of Sailors, is really quite small. Part of my job is talking to ships, sort of a cross between customer service help-desk and Sherlock Holmesian interrogation. I am wary, trying to determine by conversing with the Division Officer if they actually need assistance or whether they are not using the equipment properly.
I called up a ship yesterday and was chatting away with the DivO. His name sounded almost familiar, but not quite. So, I grilled him carefully, politely. He was the same way with me.
And in talking to him, I asked him his prior job. He replied with the exact billet where I was last! We both were fliers out of the Middle East.
Hmmm, was this possible? Wait, I trained him! Except his email has a different first name. That's right, he uses his middle name.
We laughed and chatted about our current jobs. And then I asked the question: you still got a thing for Nancy Pelosi?
He cracked up. I was the OIC of the flying detachment and I told the very trusting (country boy) Detachment Chief that the new Ensign had a little thing for Nancy Pelosi. And the Chief believed me. Mostly because the new Ensign was a prior Chief. And our Det Chief looked at anyone who would turn his back on the Goat Locker as crazy.
One other thing, the new Ensign did not deny it immediately. He played along, like it was a big joke. (Which it was to me, but not the Det Chief!) He would laugh and act like he maybe had a little twinkle for the Speaker of the House.
Weeks went by and I would hear Chief ask the Ensign: You sure you don't got a lil' thang for Nancy Pelosi?
Moral of the story: Deny deny deny. . .

Posts Tagged 'Bobby Petrino'
OK so yes this is a generally an employee rights blog, but I am also a self-affirmed Gator hator and Miami Hurricane fan, so I clearly have no sympathy for this arrogant Gator fan, but the whole situation does raise some interesting legal issues to address on this blog.
For those of you who have not been following the story, Renee Gork announced on Twitter that she had been fired by KAKS, a northwest Arkansas radio station that calls itself Hog Sports Radio. Gork had worn a Gator hat Saturday to a news conference with Arkansas Razorbacks football coach Bobby Petrino.
Petrino, whose team lost to the Gators last season 23-20 at Florida, commented on Gork's hat after answering a question she asked. "And that will be the last question I answer with that hat on," Petrino said.
Gork, a Florida graduate, said she grabbed the hat without thinking Saturday because it was raining outside. She also said she sent a letter of apology to the university and Petrino.
"Was hoping to publicly apologize to coach Petrino and UA fans on the show today … but I won't get that chance," Gork wrote on KAKS' Twitter account. "I've been fired."
So the question I have been posed is does Ms. Gork have a claim for wrongful termination. Well, my initial gut instinct would be "no." However, I would first want to take a look at her contract, if she even had a written contract. Based upon the language of the contract, perhaps she could argue that her employer breached her employment contract with her. In some cases it would seem to me that radio and entertainment personalities are hired to "ruffle feathers" and to fire them for doing so might be considered a breach of contract. Would someone fire Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh for ruffling feathers? Likely not. Of course, I am not saying that Ms. Gork is a Stern or Limbaugh personality, but maybe she was hired to be one of the radio show bad girls. If that was the case maybe the employer breached its contract with when they fired her for wearing her Gators hat to an Arkansas press conference.
Without a contract, unless there is a special Arkansas statute, I dont believe she would have any legal basis to object to the termination. If you do stupid things at work, you run the risk of being fired for it. If you wear inappropriate attire to work, you run the risk of being fired for it. In this case Ms. Gork wore clearly inappropriate attire to work and AND was stupid and was fired for it. Don't get me wrong, was the whole thing petty and silly if she was otherwise a good employee, YES. However, it does not mean that her employer was not in its rights to terminate her.
What do you all think of this issue?

Mamata to inaugurate 'Biz Bridge 2013'
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee along with the WB minister for commerce and industries and IT, Partha Chatterjee is all set to inaugurate the four day 'Biz Bridge 2013' organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Eastern Region here on Nov 13.
"Biz Bridge 2013 will broaden the industrial horizon in the region," Mamata Banerjee who will address the special plenary on the inaugural day, said in a message.
CII informed that while the chief minister will address the special plenary, where many top-notch industry leaders will be present, the opening plenary will be addressed by Partha Chatterjee, Ajay Shankar - Member Secretary, National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council, Krishna Gupta - Managing Director, West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation and Partha Ghosh - Director, Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd, among others.
"I am confident that Biz Bridge, as the name suggests, will serve as a perfect link between West Bengal and businesses across the world, and herald a new era of entrepreneurship," said Partha Chatterjee in his message.
"In every respect, the fourth edition of Biz Bridge 2013 is going to be a powerful forum for CEOs, decision-makers, technical experts, diplomats and senior executives from materials, R and D, procurement and business development in the manufacturing and engineering sector," said Sudhir Deoras, CII Eastern Region.
Deoras, who is also the Managing Director of TRF Ltd, a Tata group company said, "Vendor Meet is going to be a major attraction in Biz Bridge 2013. There will also be a series of meetings and interactions between a large number of MSMEs and vertical heads of some top energy and defence units located in the region."
"The Vendor Meet is being held with the primary objective of meeting procurement demand for energy and defence companies in the region," Deoras added.
According to the industry leaders, with Rs 80,000 crore to be spent on the defence sector in Eastern Region in the next 15 years, the scope is huge for MSMEs in the region as a whole, including West Bengal.
"That's one of the primary reasons why CII Eastern Region attaches utmost importance to MSMEs in the region. CII firmly believes that these MSMEs will contribute significantly to the growth and development of economy and generate many jobs," said Sandipan Chakravortty, Chairman, Task Force on Trade Fair, CII Eastern Region, and Managing Director, Tata Steel Processing and Distribution Ltd
"Nothing can be a better and bigger one-stop B2B forum than Biz Bridge on engineering and manufacturing in Eastern Region where the whole focus is on how to help the MSMEs grow in strength, acquire the wherewithal and expand and take their business to the next level," said Saugat Mukherjee, Regional Director, CII Eastern Region.
"A slew of business meets, one-on-one interactions, buyer-seller meets, networking, opportunities for product display, sharing of information on product development and innovation, business presentation, live demonstrations, et al, are lined up," Mukherjee added.
Adding value to Biz Bridge 2013 are a few conferences to be organised on the sidelines of the show.
The exhibition will draw participants from sectors such as Metals and Minerals, Power and Energy, Defence, Machine Tools, Infrastructure and Material Handling.
There will also be opportunities for product displays, distribution of industry information, focused business presentations, discussions between industry members, innovations, interactions between manufacturers and users, and buyer-seller meets for business leads.

German biofuel producer launches EU-funded straw-to-biomethane project
January 24, 2014 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Verbio (Leipzig, Germany), a biofuel producer, has launched a straw-to-biomethane project at Schwedt, Germany that is due to start operating in the second half of 2014, the company announced. The project secured about €22.3 million in EU funding in 2012. "This funding is an incentive to increase the share of biomethane in the biofuel market. Biomethane is a real all-rounder among the renewable sources of energy; it is easy to store and can therefore be deployed at all times irrespective of its point of origin," says Claus Sauter, CEO of...

While you can never have too many monochromatic closet staples, the WhoWhatWear.com staff has a serious crush on clothing that makes a bold statement. Last spring, we noticed a preponderance of fashion-forward femmes who were trying the Tribal Punk trend: think ethnic prints paired with loads of leather and studs. Of course, prints are huge news for spring as well, but we are pleased to report that this year both designers and directional dressers are taking a new approach to patterns. This season the focus has shifted to digitally engineered prints that riff on classic Native American and African folk art in hyper-bright colors. And while the influences of these Az-Tech looks come from all over the globe, we are beyond pleased to gather our favorites right here in today's Trend Report featuring our favorite Techno Tribal looks!
One of the main references for this style is the Louis Vuitton S/S 10 show. Marc Jacobs, the visionary designer behind the LV label, said that his inspiration was a post-punk world traveler, and the spring show was filled to the brim with exotic prints that looked as though they were sourced from foreign bazaars, technicolor accessories, and outrageous accessory overload (complete with foxtail-festooned purses and furry clogs). Needless to say, the collection was high-drama and playful, but we think the follow up Pre-Fall collection provided more wearable variations on the theme. Case in point: Natalia Vodianova's Pre-Fall LV dress, which she wore to attend the Sidaction Fashion Dinner in Paris at the end of January. The shocking pink handkerchief dress featured a zigzag tribal pattern, proving that our aforementioned equation works for an exuberant evening ensemble.
Naturally Natalia's not the only one trying the trend. Isabel Lucas also opted for frock in the TT fashion when she wore an airbrushed dress featuring acid hues of pink, black, and blue from Josh Goot's S/S 10 show. The Australian-born, London-based designer is known for his flirty après-beach pieces, and we are particularly taken with the optic ombre piece that Lucas wore to the Daybreakers premiere early last month in her native Sydney. Paired with bare legs and black open-toed heels, the look is playful and sophisticated. We also tracked a similarly tribal techno example on the gorgeous Heidi Klum, who wore Gucci's Vietri Blue Ikat Printed Dress ($4700, 800.456.7663) and Daryl High Heel Platform Sandals ($930) at the W Lounge during New York Fashion Week in February. The graphic ikat print in optic white and royal blue proves that you don't have to go for eye-popping shades to get a chic effect.
Likewise, you don't need to wear a party-ready frock to achieve an on-trend outfit. You can just focus your Techno Tribal energy into a strong accessory, or piece of outerwear. Pixie Geldof did just that in a neon green Leopard Print Cropped Jacket ($925, 310.652.1120) from the always-outrageous Jeremy Scott's S/S 10 collection. Her outfit exemplifies how a strategic accessory can make an impactful statement without being too loud.
Now that you know how the leaders of the pack are rocking Techno Tribal, let's tackle the best way to import this trend into your own closet rotation. Obviously, there are a ton of TT treats on the market, so we've happily narrowed down the best of the best. If it's a dress you desire, make sure to check out Diane von Furstenberg's Swann Dress ($595) in Palace Tiger Green or Motel's Matilda Dress ($55) in Aztec Chain; alternately, Marc by Marc Jacob's Dashiki Striped Jumpsuit ($386) for a playful pant-and-top combo with a pair of T-strap sandals or heels this spring.
If, like Geldof, you would rather update your wardrobe with a smaller dose of TT, we can highly recommend Free People's Techno Tank ($68), Jonathan Saunder's Printed Oversized Jersey T-Shirt ($289), Basso & Brooke's Printed Jersey Tee ($310) or Forever 21's Tie Die Print Skirt ($13)Â--despite the name, it's definitely more graphic than groovy!
As for those of you who feel like a less-is-more approach is more up your alley, please consider Brazen's Tribal Dance Scarf ($32) or Zimmerman's Mali Animale Drawstring Bag ($81). And though our fearless foursome opted for apparel, we also quite like the idea of the Techno Tribal shoe; Giuseppe Zanotti's Strass Suede Caged Sandals ($1595), House of Harlow 1960's Misha Beaded Moccasin Boots ($275), and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Roma Wedge Sandals with Knotted Straps ($350) are all optimal options to get you strutting in that Techno Tribal style in seconds flat. Regardless of how you choose to channel today's trend, we wish you happy hunting! Â--Kate Mulling

Read: The Rangers Are Likely To Buyout Wade Redden If They Can
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes that if allowed the Rangers have all but guaranteed that they will use a buyout on Wade Redden.
Friedman says that it is hard to get a read on what will happen with amnesty buyouts but says that Gary Bettman is reportedly against doing anything that doesn't count against the salary cap.
He does say that there appears to be some interest in Redden and some teams think he can be a good value at a low salary number.
It was reported back in October that the Rangers would be willing to eat the cap hit of $6.5 million and send him to Hartford so he wouldn't be on the roster. The CBA is likely to include a clause stating that players who are in the AHL and have a salary over a a certain amount will count against the cap.

I am Patsy Hough, better known to many as the CARE-A-VAN lady.
On Oct. 1 1996, I began employment with the Southeastern Utah Association of Governments. The program I was hired to work with, called CARE-A-VAN, was a volunteer program providing non-emergency transportation services to the elderly, people with disabilities, and those suffering with a chronic illness. My position as a technician included scheduling and coordinating transportation for eligible individuals to their medical appointments. Additional responsibilities were billing and assisting with accounts receivable and accounts payable. I incorporated a monthly newsletter featuring individuals receiving services and those individuals providing the service in addition to information on health care issues.
In August 1997 I accepted the position of program manager. The new position included volunteer recruitment, grant writing, eligibility determination, and supervising volunteers and staff. Scheduling trainings was also required in meeting program guidelines.
On Jan. 4, 2000, the program was relocated to Southeast Utah District Health Department. At the time of the move, all four counties (Emery, Carbon, San Juan and Grand) were still receiving services. Being the only employee in the main office, all job duties became my responsibility including finding the funding to operate the entire program. This proved to be a very huge challenge.
In February of 2002 a trip was made to Salt Lake City to pick up the first and only van for the program. The van was purchased with grant funding secured from Carbon County and Rural Development. On top of the responsibilities already in place, an added position of van driver was added to my list. At this time only three counties remained in the program. Volunteers continued to serve Emery and Grand Counties. Individuals needing specialized care locate outside of the Carbon area were served by volunteers, and the CARE-A-VAN lady became the driver of the CARE-A-VAN Shuttle along with the responsibilities already in place. As the years went by the number of individuals utilizing the service increased from 100 to 1,000 indicating a growing need for non-emergency medical transportation in the rural areas. More funding was needed to handle the increased need. However onn May 26, 2010 the Southeastern Utah District Health Department board elected to end the program. Although Carbon Country was willing to take the program, unknown obstacles prevented them from doing so.
At this time, I want to thank the Southeastern Utah District Health Department for their support, the entities who provided financial support, my staff for their dedication in serving others, the people who have received services, the families of those residing near and far who were unable to assist their family members and entrusted them to my care. Thank you to the local physicians, Castleview Hospital, and the physicians and facilities located on the Wasatch Front for working with me in scheduling appointments for their patients, and Active Re-Entry for the use of their buses. Thank you to Howa and Sons for managing the aluminum can drive. Most of all, I want to thank my family and friends for being so patient with me as I took on this challenge.
The job I had proved to be the most difficult position. However, it truly has been the most rewarding. Meeting people from all walks of life and working with foundation staff is truly a reward in itself. Saying farewell is not easy, but the time has come. I will miss your smiles, but hold the memories near and dear to my heart.

Video: Funeral Arrangements for Father Moreno Set
BUFFALO, NY - Funeral arrangements have been announced for a popular Roman Catholic priest, who was found dead inside Saint Lawrence Church in Buffalo over the weekend.
A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Father Moreno will be interred at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
Meanwhile, Buffalo Police spokesman Michael DeGeorge announced that the findings of the Medical Examiner's office through an autopsy concluded that Father Moreno died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
Western New York's Catholic community is still in shock as they remember a generous man suddenly taken away. A memorial service and candlelight vigil were held Sunday evening at Saint Lawrence Church in for Father Moreno, who was found dead inside the church by an employee.
Filling the pews of the church were people who loved "Father Joe." They relied on him to be their guiding star in life. He served the church for five years as sacramental minister and was a priest for 26 years. For some people, there are things about Father Joe they'll never forget.
"His smile, him helping everybody knowing that they can count on him as a friend," said Megan Bisantz, who was at the service.
One man who worked with Father Joe said, "He's always asking what do you need, what do you guys need? Father Joe, how could I help? And that's what I'm going to miss."
Parishioners gathered by the church's rectory to fill the night sky with candles and released balloons to their angel in heaven.
The rectory is where church Deacon Paul Weisenberger says he discovered Father Joe's body alongside a gun Saturday. Buffalo police don't suspect foul play and autopsy results are expected Monday.
Deacon Weisenberger says Father Joe's spirit will live on.
"It helped so many people if you saw the people who use the pediatric clinic, if you saw the kids that use the school here, it's heart warming because these are people who would not have that chance," he said.
Bishop Richard Malone has announced the reappointment of Deacon Weisenburger and his wife, Mary, as pastoral administrators, effective immediately. They will remain in place until a new leader of the parish is appointed. There is no timetable for that appointment to be made.
The Weisenburgers have led the parish for the past six years, and were planning to retire. During a meeting Monday morning at the Catholic Center with Bishop Malone, the couple agreed to postpone their retirement.
"I am most grateful to Deacon Paul and Mary Weisenburger for their willing acceptance to continue in their ministry to the parish," Bishop Malone said in a statement. "Despite their own personal grief in the loss of a dear friend, they have agreed to remain in place in order to continue to provide pastoral care and leadership to the St. Lawrence faith community, allowing for the healing process to begin."
Prior to Father Moreno's passing, Bishop Malone had appointed Father Francis "Butch" Mazur to be temporary administrator of St. Lawrence. That appointment has been rescinded. Father Mazur will continue in his role as chaplain at Erie County Medical Center and as the bishop's representative on inter-faith matters.
At another mass on Sunday at Our Lady of Victory Basilica, where Bishop Malone presided, he said, "I say to [parishioners that] I understand the pain and the suffering that they're going through and I know I can't take it away, but I'm with them in prayer and other ways, we're going to provide counseling for those of course who need it," he said after the service.
Bishop Malone says that he wanted to strike the right balance during the service to respect Father Joe's passing, while still uplifting parishioners in this Year of Faith.
"It was like a punch in the stomach and I woke up again this morning and felt that hollowness. I call upon my faith, and what we were saying in this special mass for the Interfaith, I really believe that Christ in his resurrection conquers death ultimately, so there's hope here," he said.
While people mourn this loss, there are still many questions about Father Joe's death. Bishop Malone says Father Joe was being reassigned to somewhere outside the church. Malone says he supported Father Joe's interest in becoming a hospital chaplain.
Sources say even though he told Bishop Malone that he would take the position, he did not want to leave Saint Lawrence. Bishop Malone gave no reason why he was being reassigned.
Multiple sources tell 2-On-Your-Side that Father Joe was given a letter last week informing him that he would be reassigned and that he would have a week to leave the church. Deacon Weisenberger believes Father Joe was pushed too hard to leave the church and just, "snapped."

Back in the day, the Beatles caused heart-throbbed swooning for the masses. For us, it was more like 90210's Luke Perry circa 1992. (Hey, don't judge.) For Susan, it is an industrial vintage find. Show her some rustic wood crates, vintage ball jars and old wire baskets, and her heart starts palpitating, she says. She can often be found in the thrill of the hunt at auction houses, antique stores and garage sales. See, her life's passion is to bring vintage and repurposed items into people's homes in totally unique ways. Take her wooden wall planters as a case in point: She first rescues some old wood from a fence or barn, then cleans it up and attaches vintage mason jars, secured with industrial clamps. It's a rustic, repurposed piece that may just cause spontaneous swooning.
