A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture

Nearly seven months after elections were held in Iraq, an important Shia bloc has thrown its support behind Nouri al-Maliki, the incumbent prime minister, as its choice for premiership.
The announcement on Friday by the National Alliance (NA), which still falls short of an absolute majority in the 325-member Council of Representatives, is the first sign of a possible breakthrough after months of stand-off between Iraq's major political parties.
However, two main NA members, the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC) and al-Fadila party distanced themselves from the announcement, cutting 27 seats from the alliance's total number of seats. The alliance between al-Maliki and NA now holds 132 seats instead of 159.
The National Alliance has chosen al-Maliki as its candidate for the premiership," coalition member Falah Fayadh said at a news conference. He said that the coalition's members voted "by consensus," but did not elaborate.Al-Maliki's State of Law Alliance had finished second in the March 7 polls, two seats behind the Iraqiya bloc of ex-premier Iyad Allawi. But al-Maliki joined forces with the Iraqi National Alliance (INA) in early May.
The newly-formed NA held on-and-off negotiations for several months as members quarrelled over the selection of a candidate for premier. The INA had named Adel Abdel Mahdi, Iraq's vice-president, as its choice, but al-Maliki eked out a victory.Political vacuum On Friday, Iraq tied the world record for the longest period without a permanent government after elections, with its 208 day impasse matching the time it took The Netherlands to name a prime minister in 1977.Al-Maliki, for the second time owes his nomination to the Sadrists, a Shia bloc loyal to the controversial Iraqi Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr.Al-Sadr gave his support to al-Maliki's nomination in 2006, but the two men grew apart after al-Sadr followers and militia leaders were thrown in jail with some still in custody.Al-Sadr's consent to al-Maliki's nomination has come as a surprise to observers, as the bloc has been strongly opposing to his nomination.Despite the relative victory, al-Maliki will face an uphill struggle to convince others to work with him to form the next government."I do not expect, under current circumstances, that a government will be in place before the end of the year," Joost Hiltermann of the International Crisis Group said."Even if agreement can be found soon on the prime minister, this still leaves other key portfolios to be filled, and then the new leaders would still have to discuss the ruling coalition's governing programme."Some factions from the Shia alliance stayed away from Friday's meeting, politicians said, signalling a rising opposition to al-Maliki from within.Uneasy task Disagreements over whether or not to support al-Maliki raised speculation of a possible rupture within the National Alliance bloc, even after Friday's nomination.Al-Maliki will need to start talks with other political parties, mainly the cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition and the Kurdish alliance, to form the next government.Led by former prime minister Iyad Allawi, the Iraqiya coalition, which won the most seats in the parliament with strong support from Sunnis and seculars, has said it would not join any government headed by al-Maliki.Dhafir al-Ani, a member of Iraqiya, said his coalition would not let go of his constitutional right to form the government."We won the biggest number of seats in the elections. Our right to form the government is authentic. The fact that other parties are trying to go around the constitution and interpret it as they wish, would take away from us our right to form the government as the party which won the biggest number of seats," he told Al Jazeera.Al-Maliki sent a letter to Iraq's supreme court on the eve of the announcement of elections results, asking for its interpretation of the phrase "the biggest bloc" mentioned in the Iraqi constitution.The court ruled that the "biggest bloc" means the bloc with the biggest number of seats at the time of the first session of the new parliament.The court's ruling meant the party who wins the elections might loose its right to form the government if two or more loosing parties joined together and formed an alliance with bigger number of seats from the party which came first in the elections.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
I've had this discussion with Catholic lay leaders and clergy many times in different parts of the country. Never have I encountered more than a mild protest -- most of the time there is general agreement with the need for parish life to undergo a change in kind, not in degree. In other words, a fundamental conversion that will involve the bishop, chancery staff, clergy, religious, and most of all, the laity.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
6/2/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: culture, evangelical, catholic, evangelism, Holy Spirit, new evangelization, culture, Deal W. Hudson
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - I don't mean to say that Catholics have failed the culture without exception. I'm asserting that Catholics can be judged as having failed the culture by two standards: First, their numbers as the nation's largest Christian denomination, and second, by a comparison of their influence to Evangelical Protestants.
I've been a Catholic thirty years, since 1983. During that time I've tried to serve the Church in a variety of ways, from teaching and writing, to magazine publishing, radio, television, and political participation.
In my conversion memoir, An American Conversion: One Man's Search for Truth and Beauty in a Time of Crisis (Crossroad 2003), I described the freedom I had discovered in becoming a Catholic, that is, the encouragement I felt to use my gifts to engage the totality of the culture. The experience of doing this work has been both laborious and disappointing.
A small but recent example -- most recently my weekly radio show on the Guadalupe Radio Network (1160 AM WMET) was canceled for including - inappropriate content - that I had read verbatim from my conversion memoir. The objectionable passage was about the great French Catholic writer Julian Green who I identified as a homosexual. I was then accused of promoting my own homosexual desire on Catholic radio! My wife and a large number of friends and acquaintances got quite a belly laugh over that one!
Now, back to my assertion about Catholics failing the culture. I'm going to skip over how I came to this conclusion over the past several decades and give you the bottom line: It's the lack of vitality in our parish life and worship. If you went back and forth between Evangelical Protestant and Catholic communities, as I often do as a part of my work, one thing stands out in stark contrast -- the individual Evangelical Protestant church is more dynamic, more unified, more committed to sharing its faith, more hopeful about impacting the culture by its witness.
You don't see Evangelicals backing into parking spaces to make a quick getaway after Mass; you don't see them quick-stepping, head down into the church or ignoring everyone around them; you don't see them leaving as quickly as possible after their - obligation - has been fulfilled. You see a community; you see friends who have gotten to know each other through the church, many of whom are making plans to spend time together outside church services.
Some years ago I went through a very difficult time in my life, one that was well-publicized in the mainstream media and also treated to a full-color spread on page 2 in my own diocesan newspaper (thank you very much). During that period of my life there was not a single inquiry from anyone in my parish. The next, and only, time I heard from the pastor he wanted a major donation. Thankfully my friends, many of whom are devout Catholics, including our own Deacon Keith Fournier, stood by my side until the worst was over, but the experience underscored how little parish life really matters pastorally and personally.
My wife, Theresa, who is also a convert has commented to me many times, - Catholics make it so difficult to be Catholic. She was referring to the deadness of the liturgies, the lack of welcome, expressions of gratitude, the underlying attitude of - Ok, you've got to come to Mass or you're in mortal sin and consigned to hell.- (Let me emphasize, once again, there are exceptions!)
I've had this discussion with Catholic lay leaders and clergy many times in different parts of the country. Never have I encountered more than a mild protest -- most of the time there is general agreement with the need for parish life to undergo a change in kind, not in degree. In other words, a fundamental conversion that will involve the bishop, chancery staff, clergy, religious, and most of all, the laity.
Since John Paul II there has been much discussion of - evangelizing the culture - and for Catholics to become more - evangelical - in their witness to the world. The self-proclaimed - Evangelical Catholics- often look and sound, to my ears anyway, like Protestant Evangelicals with a different vocabulary. There has been no genuine integration of evangelical zeal with Catholic piety, rather Southern Evangelicalism has been laid over the Catholic faith like peanut butter over stale bread. That's not enough!
An example of someone who has integrated his Catholic faith with Evangelicalism is the prolific Matthew Kelly whose books and appearances have deservedly gained a national following. An Australian, and an excellent golfer by the way, Kelly is the kind of model of Catholic evangelization that is both distinctive and effective. But it needs to find its way into the parishes and take root there.
I realize this is a brief commentary, requiring a much more detailed explanation as well as more suggestions for the way forward. They are in the works, but before publishing them I would appreciate any feedback the readers of Catholic Online will kindly provide.

You can combine your bardic performance and your spellcasting in two ways.
- First, you can conceal the activity of casting a bard spell by masking it in a performance. As a swift action, you may combine your casting time of a spell with a Perform check. Observers must make a Perception or Sense Motive check opposed by your Perform check to realize you are also casting a spell. This uses 1 round of your bardic performance ability, regardless of the spell's casting time.
- Second, as a move action, you can use 1 round of bardic performance to maintain a bard spell with a duration of concentration. You can cast another spell in the same round you are using bardic magic to maintain concentration; if you do this, your concentration on the maintained spell ends when you end the bardic performance the spell is part of.
The Maestro Bloodline gets a power that works as the fascinate bardic performance ability, but you get uses per day with each use having a duration rather than bardic music rounds per day.
So both abilities require you to use a round of your bardic performance ability, which you do not receive from the bloodline. And both abilities only interact with Bard spells you cast... but you are a sorcerer.
Viewing this as a feat that is only beneficial if you multi-class, you still do not receive a bonus feat until level 7, so you are mostly Sorcerer by that point.
It is unlikely that there will ever be an errata or FAQ on how this works, but you never know. With the bloodline being suggested in the Player's Guide for this AP, maybe enough attention will get a clarification.
For discussion, how would you home-rule on this bloodline and feat interacting?

Convenient location. Provided cot at no cost when room couldn't be changed to 2 beds.
Old furnishings, hasn't been updated. Walls make it look cheap.
The staff was cooperative, friendly and helpful. The sheets were very fresh and clean.
The breakfast room could have held a couple of more tables.
great staff. clean and friendly
Beds were amazing, staff was helpful. And they didnt mind my special needs children loudness!
The owner was horrible, he tried to charge me more than what the reservation was for. When I questioned him he put me out of the hotel and locked the door. I was out in the middle of no where with 3 small children at midnight.
Good location right off the interstate
Room was very worn and needed updating. Generally clean but wornout
The price was about right for the room
Thought the room was kind of small and the bathroom was small didn't have any room in the shower

PGD labs and insurance
Hi Alycat84, I used Genesis and they do not deal with insurance companies (ie, must pay in full up front), but I don't think that means that you can't get coverage. It just means that you will need to pay and petition your insurance for reimbursement (likely out-of-network). However I suspect this road is very annoying with lots of paperwork and uncertainty. RGI will work directly with your insurance company which is great. They will even write a letter showing medical necessity if needed. I don't have info on the others since I haven't used them.
Thanks everyone!
It is mostly the embryologist at the IVF clinic that will coordinate with the PGD lab, and the big adjustment is that the biopsy protocol is different for each lab. I think it is a rare to be able to do this, but if you can it might be helpful to appeal directly to the embryologist as the RE may say no just because a change places new burdens on the IVF lab. I also learned that some of the labs are not licensed to work in some states. In New York for example you need to apply for an exception to use Genesis as your PGD lab.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Alphabet of Grace'
Frederick Buechner's The Alphabet of Grace is a small but lyrical volume of essays that moves through a single day in three chapters. It is no particular day, and yet, as Buechner suggests, each day of life is an invitation to be truly alive. "Live a day of it and see," he writes. "Nobody claims that it will be entirely painless, but no matter. It is your birthday, and there are many presents to open. The world is to open."
This gets us very close to the sweet center of this little book--and of Buechner's work more generally. He makes no claims for himself as special; "most of the times I am indistinguishable from the rest of the herd that jostles and snuffles at the great trough of life." But he also knows how to listen, how to pay attention to the small moments of life where grace in fact breaks through. Two apple branches clack together: this becomes the metaphor for the "clack-clack" of his life, which is also the sign of "the occasional, obscure glimmering through of grace." Sometimes, this book reminds us, God comes not in the whirlwind but in the still small voice of our ordinary moments. --Doug Thorpe

Beyond Words n (1.) Terms or names that point to the realm of mystery and depth that lies beyond our ordinary experience. (2.) The reality that is beyond even the power of beyond words to convey, and that can be known only by experiencing it for yourself.
"A word a day to keep the demons at bay." This is how Frederick Buechner likes to describe this witty and incisive dictionary. A daily devotional from one of today's greatest spiritual writers, Beyond Words offers 366 entries from Buechner's three alphabet books, Wishful Thinking, Peculiar Treasures, and Whistling in the Dark, including a new Introduction and nineteen new entries.
Providing definitions of both sacred and ordinary words, as well as biblical characters, Buechner unabashedly brings his fresh perspective to words, concepts, and characters we thought we understood. This is a great introduction to Buechner's work as well as a library staple for those already well versed in his writing. It is Buechner at his best. Whether readers find themselves tearful from a deeply moving insight or laughing out loud at an unexpected turn of phrase, they will always feel uplifted, illuminated, and enchanted by the wisdom of Frederick Buechner.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Eyes of the Heart: A Memoir of the Lost and Found'
Unlike some Christian writers, Frederick Buechner has never claimed to have a ringside seat to the truth. "I have seen with the eyes of the heart the great hope to which he has called us," he writes, "but out of shyness ... I rarely speak of it, and in my books I have tended to write about it for the most part only obliquely." This very reticence, however, is one of the qualities that most endears this writer to his fans: we trust him all the more because he does not deny his own doubts. A novelist, preacher, and essayist beloved by the thoughtful (and the doubtful), this new memoir follows the quiet and yet probing style of the three that precede it (Now and Then, Telling Secrets, and The Sacred Journey). Here, as he moves into his 70s, Buechner explores more deeply and with greater personal poignancy his familiar subjects of loss, death, and faith, acknowledging that these three issues still revolve around his own father's suicide when Buechner was 9. Including delightful and honest reminiscences of his childhood friend, the great poet James Merrill, along with rich and loving memories of family members and books, Buechner writes the way many of us feel--with moments of glory that shoot through the grayness. Those who know his earlier work will not be disappointed by this continuation of the journey; those new to him will find a suitable entry point to the path right here. --Doug Thorpe

Frederick Buechner's Godric "retells the life of Godric of Finchale, a twelfth-century English holy man whose projects late in life included that of purifying his moral ambition of pride...Sin, spiritual yearning, rebirth, fierce asceticism--these hagiographic staples aren't easy to revitalize but Frederick Buechner goes at the task with intelligent intensity and a fine readiness to invent what history doesn't supply. He contrives a style of speech for his narrator--Godric himself--that's brisk and tough-sinewed...He avoids metaphysical fiddle, embedding his narrative in domestic reality--familiar affection, responsibilities, disasters...All on his own, Mr. Buechner has managed to reinvent projects of self-purification and of faith as piquant matter for contemporary fiction [in a book] notable for literary finish...Frederick Buechner is a very good writer indeed." -- Benjamin DeMott, The New York Times Book Review
"From the book's opening sentence...and sensible reader will be caught in Godric's grip...Godric glimmers brightly." -- Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek
"Godric is a memorable book...a marvelous gem of a book...destined to become a classic of its kind." -- Michael Heskett, Houston Chronicle
"In the extraordinary figure of Godric, both stubborn outsider and true child of God, both worldly and unworldly, Frederick Buechner has found an ideal means of exploring the nature of spirituality. Godric is a living battleground where God fights it out with the world, the Flesh, and the Devil." -- London Times Literary Supplement

In the first essay in this beautiful collection of reflections on biblical themes, Frederick Buechner reminds us of a famous scene in the film La Dolce Vita: a helicopter is flying overhead, and suspended below it is a statue of Jesus. It flies over a swimming pool where a group of girls lounge; the men flying above circle back, trying to get the girls' phone numbers. All of this is immensely amusing to everyone in the audience, Buechner writes, until the camera zooms in on the statue itself, "until just for a moment the screen is filled with just the bearded face of Christ. For a moment, he continues, the theater was silent, "as if the face were their face somehow, their secret face that they had never seen before but that they knew belonged to them." This, he concludes, "is much of what the Christian faith is."
We catch a glimpse of something true, Buechner tells us, and after that glimpse we are never again the same, try as we might to forget it. And the point of these essays, of course, is to remind us. --Doug Thorpe

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Longing for Home: Reflections at Midlife'
In this deeply moving book of reflection and recollection, Frederick Buechner once again draws us into his deeply textured life and experience to illuminate our own understanding of home as both our place of origin and our ultimate destination.For Frederick Buechner, the meaning of home is twofold: the home we remember and the home we dream. As a word, it not only recalls the place that we grew up in and that had much to do with the people we eventually became, but also points ahead to the home that, in faith, we believe awaits us at life's end. Writing at the approach of his seventieth birthday, he describes, both in prose and in a group of poems, the one particular house that was most precious to him as a child, the books he read there, and the people he loved there. He speaks also of the lifelong search we are all engaged in to make a new home for ourselves and for our families, which is at the same time a search to find something like the wholeness and comfort of home with ourselves. As he turns his attention to our dreams of the heavenly home still to come, he sees it as both hallowing and fulfilling the charity and the peach of our original home. Writing with warmth, wisdom, and compelling eloquence, Frederick Buechner once again enables us to see more deeply into the secret places of our hearts. The Longing for Home will help to bring clarity and guidance to anyone who searches for meaning in a world that all too often seems meaningless.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Magnificent Defeat'
As a novelist and memoirist, Frederick Buechner brings to these meditations on biblical passages a keen eye for narrative and detail. He brings as well an artist's love for language. As he says of James Weldon Johnson's poetic rendering of the creation story, this "is the language that man always uses when he tries to talk about the real mysteries of existence." So too is it the language Buechner brings to these reflections, which similarly explore the real mysteries. Written simply and directly (their original audience was a group of students at the private school where the author was a minister), Buechner delves into topics ranging from Jacob's wrestling with the angel (this is the "magnificent defeat" of the title) to the annunciation and birth of Jesus and beyond. Whatever the topic, Buechner writes with clarity and honesty. He does not present himself as among the saints so much as among the seekers. He doubts and questions but always comes back to the central place of beauty and of joy: here, he suggests, is where we must place our faith. Here is the true miracle of life, inviting us to "open our arms, our lives, to the deepest miracle of reality itself and call it by its proper name, which is King of kings and Lord of lords, or call it by any name we want, or call it nothing, but live our lives open to the fierce and transforming joy of it." --Doug Thorpe

› Find signed collectible books: 'Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation'
The title of this memoir (the second in a series, following the well-received Sacred Journey) is taken from the theologian Paul Tillich, whom Buechner quotes in his epigraph: "We want only to show you something we have seen and to tell you something we have heard...that here and there in the world and now and then in ourselves is a New Creation". The humility of this title--that "now and then", which speaks of the occasional glimpse of glory but does not claim any more for itself than that--beautifully reveals something of the tone and attitude of Buechner himself. It also suggests what it is about him that readers hold so dear. In this volume, picking up where the first book left off, Buechner begins with his education at Union Theological Seminary, when he studied under Tillich and others. He then tells of his years as minister and teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy, and concludes with his move to Vermont and his decision to make a living as a full-time writer.
As he says very simply in his Introduction, "if you tell your own story with sufficient candour and concreteness, it will be an interesting story and in some sense a universal story". It will also, as this book affirms, be a story that says something of the myriad ways that God speaks to us. This realisation lies at the centre of this small but lovely book. "Autobiography becomes a way of praying", he concludes, "and a book like this, if it matters at all, matters mostly as a call to prayer". --Doug Thorpe
› Find signed collectible books: 'On the Road with the Archangel'
One of the brightest lights in late-twentieth-century literature, Frederick Buechner has published more than twenty-five works of fiction and nonfiction that continue to dazzle critics and readers alike, adding continuously to the ranks of his fiercely loyal following. On the Road with the Archangel is sure to continue this tradition with its powerful blend of humor, artistry, and insight into the nature of the human and the divine.
Inspired by events in the apocryphal Book of Tobit, from the second century B.C., this is the magical tale of two families brought together, as no mere coincidence, by the devilishly clever archangel Raphael. One is the family of Tobit, a virtuous man who can no longer support his wife and son because of Raguel, the quiet, devoted father of Sarah whose pact with the demon Asmodeus has left her life in tragic shambles.
Assuming human form, Raphael appears before Tabias, Tobit's devoted son, to help him retrieve his father's fortune hidden in a faraway city. Together, they embark on a miraculous journey in search of the answers to both families' prayers--a journey that is made challenging and delightful by Rapheal's artful efficiency.
On the Road with the Archangel is a masterful combination of fluid writing, lyrical storytelling, and ancient truth blended with modern wisdom. And beneath it all lies a subtle, glowing meditation on the nature of the Holy.
Hailed as "one of our most original storytellers" (USA Today), Pulitzer Prize-nominated author Frederick Buechner has written an extraordinary new novel that shines with the mystery and wonder of the divine.Drawn from the ancient apocryphal Book of Tobit, On the Road with the Archangel unravels the tale of a eccentric blind father and his somewhat bumbling song who journeys to seek his family's lost treasure. Narrated by the wry and resourceful archangel Raphael, Buencher's tale is a pure delight, alive with vivid characters, delightful adventures and wondrous revelations.

In this second book of his popular lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner profiles more than 125 of the Bible's most holy and profane people -- and one whale. In his lively and witty prose, Buechner brings to life such moments from scripture as:
- Adam's pangs of regret for a remembered Eden
- Delilah's last glimpse of Samson as they dragged him away
- Lazarus's first impressions upon rising from the dead
To read Peculiar Treasures is to realize that many of these legendary figures are not who we thought they were. But they are -- in their human dreams,ambitions, and imperfections -- very much like us.

A Room Called Remember brings together some of Buechner's finest writings on faith, love, and the power of words in the form of essays, addresses, and sermons. Here Buechner explores autobiography as theology, offers exhilarating reflections on biblical passages, and leads us into the "room called Remember," that "still room within us all where the past lives on as part of the present,...where with patience, with clarity, with quietness of heart, we remember consciously to remember the lives we have lived."

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Sacred Journey: A Memoir of Early Days'
"A child takes life as it comes because he has no other way of taking it," Frederick Buechner writes in this first of his autobiographical books. With this statement he attempts to explore the event that is at the center of this book, and which forms the (missing) center around which so much of Buechner's fiction and essays take shape: the suicide of his father when he was 10 and his brother 8.
As with much of Buechner's work, there is a movement in this narrative from suffering to grace, a grace that comes in unexpected ways and places. Here it comes through the preacher George Buttrick on a Sunday sermon: Jesus refused Satan's crown, Buttrick said, but "he is crowned in the heart of the people who believe in him. And that inward coronation takes place ... 'among confession, and tears, and great laughter.'" It was when he heard this final statement, Buechner writes, that something turned over for him, and led him to speak to Buttrick and ultimately led him--driven literally by Buttrick--to Union Theological Seminary. Here in this beautiful book this soul-changing journey across Manhattan stands for "the sacred journey" of a life--and of all of our lives. Whether it ends in truth or dream we cannot know, but Buechner sides with King Rinkitink of Oz who says, "Never question the truth of what you fail to understand, for the world is filled with wonders." --Doug Thorpe

Frederick Buechner has long been a kindred spirit to those who find elements of doubt as constant companions on their journey of faith. He is a passionate writer and preacher who can alter lives with a simple phrase.
Buechner's words, both written and spoken, have the power to revolutionize and revitalize belief and faith. He reveals the presence of God in the midst of daily life. He faces and embraces difficult questions and doubt as essential components of our lives, rather than as enemies that destroy us. "Listen to your life!" is his clarion call. This theme pervades this definitive collection of sermons, delivered throughout Buechner's lifetime. Presented chronologically, they provide a clear picture of the development of his theology and thinking. Reflecting Buechner's exquisite gift for storytelling and his compassionate pastor's heart, Secrets in the Dark will inspire laughter, hope, and bring great solace. Turn the pages and rediscover what it means to be thoughtful about faith. See why this renowned writer has been quoted in countless pulpits and beloved by Americans for generations.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Son of Laughter'
"The Bible's account of Jacob is a pungent seed found in a tomb," wrote the poet James Merrill about this novel. "Frederick Buechner has planted it and the result is this beautiful swaying tree of a book." The fact that Merrill was an old friend of Buechner's does not disqualify this eloquent testimony. Indeed, Jacob is powerfully translated here through Buechner's honest and humorous--and cantankerous--voice. We see a living, human character, as always in Buechner's work, whether fiction or nonfiction. From this archetypal tale of feuding brothers he draws a story of family and fear, and a tale of a living God with whom Jacob wrestles in more ways than one. The tale of this life is a rich one: the two wives, Leah and Rachel, the journeys and the dreams--all of it takes on a coloring that is both strange and yet familiar: here is a Jacob both larger than life and yet very much human, very much one of us. --Doug Thorpe

The Boston Globe calls Frederick Buechner "one of our finest writers." USA Today says he's "one of our most original storytellers." Now this acclaimed author gives us his most beguiling novel yet--a magical tale of love, betrayal, and redemption inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest.
On wealthy Plantation Island in South Florida, an old man waits, Kenzie Maxwell is a writer, a raconteur, a rascal, an altruist, a mystic--a charismatic figure who enjoys life with his rich third wife but muses daily on the sins of his past. Two decades ago, Kenzie had to leave New York because of a scandal. He'd been a volunteer at a runawat shelter, and he'd fallen in love with a seventeen-year-old girl--a girl who died while giving birth to Kenzie's daughter. His older brother, Dalton, a lawyer and board member at the shelter, decided to quell the rumors by releasing Kenzie's note of apology to the press. Kenzie's reputation--and the girl's--were destroyed. He has never forgiven his brother.
Now it's the eve of Kenzie's seventieth birthday, and a storm is brewing. His beloved daughter, Bree--the child of the scandal--is coming down from New York for his birthday party. But his brother Dalton is coming down, too, to do some legal work for the island's ill-tempered matriarch. Aided and abetted by Dalton's happy-go-lucky stepson, a loutish gardener, a New Age windsurfer, a bumbling bishop, and a bona fide tempest, Kenzie must somehow contrive to reconcile with his brother--and make peace with his past.
Infused with humanity, and informed by faith. The Storm is Frederick Buechner's most captivating novel since Godric--a richly satisfying contemporary story of fragmented families and love's many mysteries that will move you, make you laugh, and fill you with wonder.
› Find signed collectible books: 'Telling Secrets'
Frederick Buechner's autobiography is about the destructive power of a childhood secret and how the telling of that secret has brought him healing, hope and a graceful experience of love. The secret of his father's suicide left an indelible mark, not only on Buechner's own life as a child and adult, but also on the lives of his mother, and much later, his daughter. He tells the story of his mother in her later years, a charming and beautiful woman who withdrew from the world as she aged. Buechner also writes of his daughter's anorexia and recovery, and of his own experience as part of a recovering group of adults who were children of alcoholics. The author's other books include "Wishful Thinking", "The Sacred Journey", "Now and Then" and "Godric".
› Find signed collectible books: 'Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale'
A sermon arises out of silence, preacher and writer Frederick Buechner reminds us, and that silence is both an opportunity and a warning. An audience sits in the pews waiting, and each of those who sit there bring with them a long and complicated history. How will you reach them? How will you awaken them? "Tell them the truth," Buechner says in this brief and powerful book. The Gospel begins here, out of this silence: "It is life with the sound turned off so that for a moment or two you can experience it not in terms of the words you make it bearable by but for the unutterable mystery that it is." Out of this silence, he writes, the "real news comes, which is sad news before it is glad news and that is fairy tale last of all."
This series of lectures explores these three ways of seeing the Gospel: first as tragedy, as honest sorrow and suffering--this must be faced before anything else becomes possible. From this comes the comedy of new life: a child born to Abraham and Sarah in old age, Lazarus raised from the dead. This is the folly of the Gospel--what Buechner will ultimately call the fairy tale. Drawing deeply from the well of The Wizard of Oz and other stories, he reminds us in this final chapter that "there is a child in all of us," a child in touch with a truth deeper than the logic of tragedy. --Doug Thorpe

A kind of "mongrel litter" by way of Pascal, Voltaire and Ambrose Bierce, this theological run through the alphabet goes from Abraham and Agnostic straight through to YWHW and Zaccheus--the tax collector who shimmied up the tree on Palm Sunday to get a good look at Jesus. In between we get a heady brew of humour and wisdom. On Anger, for example, Buechner writes: "Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun ... In many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you". Or this, on wine: "Unfermented grape juice is a bland and pleasant drink ... [but] it is a ghastly symbol of the life blood of Jesus Christ, especially when served in individual antiseptic, thimble-sized glasses. Wine is booze, which means it is dangerous and drunk-making. It makes the timid brave and the reserved amorous. It loosens the tongue and breaks the ice especially when served in a loving cup. It kills germs. As symbols go, it is a rather splendid one".
And the book's title? Find it under "W": "Christianity is mainly wishful thinking ... Sometimes wishing is the wings the truth comes on. Sometimes the truth is what sets us wishing for it". --Doug Thorpe

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service San Diego California
913 am PDT Tuesday Oct 13 2015
gradually cooler through the weekend...with a chance of afternoon
and early evening showers and thunderstorms as a low pressure system
moves in from the southwest. Showers and thunderstorms will be
mainly in the mountains and deserts...beginning Wednesday afternoon
and continuing into Saturday. A second low pressure system from the
northwest could bring more widespread precipitation for Saturday
night into Monday...possibly heavy at times on Sunday.
Discussion...for extreme southwestern California including Orange...
San Diego...western Riverside and southwestern San Bernardino
Mostly sunny this morning...except for a few middle and high clouds.
Temperatures are generally a few degrees higher than this time
yesterday...except for some inland valley and mountain areas where temperatures
are a few degrees lower than this time yesterday.
From previous discussion...
a low pressure system to the southwest will drift slowly north off
the coast through Wednesday before moving inland through southern and
central California Thursday and Friday.
Deterministic models indicate some cooling in the lower levels today
and most areas are expected to have high temperatures a few degrees
lower than Monday. The gradual cooling will continue into the
weekend with high temperatures falling to around seasonal averages.
Overnight low temperatures will slowly decrease...but remain above
average...especially near the coast where sea surface temperatures
have warmed to just below their warmest levels of the Summer and
early fall season and well above average for October.
As the low pressure system from the southwest moves inland across
Southern California...there is a chance of afternoon and early
evening thunderstorms...mainly for the mountains and deserts
Wednesday afternoon into Saturday. Brief heavy rainfall is possible
with thunderstorms. Coverage and amounts are expected to be highly
variable but with overall coverage and amounts greater for San
Bernardino County.
For the weekend into early next week...a low pressure system from
the North Pacific is expected to move into Southern California
Saturday night into early next week. Due to model
inconsistencies...some uncertainty remains. However...this could
turn out to be a significant early season storm...with more
widespread precipitation...possibly heavy on Sunday. Snow levels
would be fairly high...mostly above resort levels.
131500z...mostly clear...with only some scattered clouds above 10000
feet mean sea level...and unrestricted visibilities. After about 14/12z late
tonight patchy low clouds at around 800 feet mean sea level with tops around
1200 feet mean sea level may develop over the coastal waters. The confidence in
keeping the low clouds out of the ksan taf for tonight is moderate
as the risk of broken low clouds at ksan overnight into Wednesday is
rather low.
800 am...slight chance of thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday.
Otherwise...no hazardous marine weather is expected through Saturday.

HP Photosmart 5510 unit. Error message 2081883393 : Failed to get device
I run a new DEL XPS PC which has Windows 7 Prof installed. Within this software I have installed Windows XP in the Vertual PC application so I can also run old XP software.
I have loaded the HP Photosmart 5510 software in the Windowsnd all is ok e.g. Printing scanning etc. I then tried to load the same software into the Windows XP and it will not work. If try to complete the installation process but the instructions just keep being repeated on the screen. When I try to uninstall the software from Windows XP I get the error message - Error - 2081883393 : Failed to get device .
Can you tell me what is wrong and and why I cannot uninstall the software so I can start from the beginning.
