Power shortage! Unavoidable blackouts! Too much environmental regulation! All these media themes about the electric crisis in California have one thing in common: They are utterly false.
Seldom have establishment media gone through greater contortions to misrepresent a crisis on behalf of the mega-corporations that made it happen. Of course, there's usually not as much money at stake–upwards of $200 billion or more by the time we're through.
The fake story, repeated in a thousand news headlines, and beat to death week after week by the bloviating punditocracy, goes something like this:
Throughout most of the California electricity "crisis," it has been difficult to find a story in the mainstream media that didn't rely on one or more of these myths. The New York Times (1/25/01) summed up the inaccurate conventional wisdom: "Demand for electricity outpaced older power plants, while a botched experiment with partial price deregulation and longstanding environmental opposition combined to create disincentives to build new power plants or create cheaper wholesale prices through competition."
The magic of the market
Though it's seldom noted in media accounts, California's deregulation scheme was not forced upon the electric utilities, but was the brainchild of John Bryson, head of Southern California Edison. In 1996, Bryson's attorneys drafted the current deregulation law (AB 1890), which was presented to and passed by the legislature within three weeks. Its premise was simple: If the ratepayers would hand the utilities up to $28.5 billion for nuclear reactor investments they said were "uncompetitive," the utilities would give up their regulated monopolies and "compete" with other power producers.
One might expect the mastermind of California's disastrous electrical experiment to be scrutinized by the press corps, but major media have given Bryson a facile free pass. "Everyone agrees there are no heroes in this California power crisis, and that it was brought on by good intentions and some bonehead decisions," NBC's Tom Brokaw began as he interviewed Bryson (1/26/01). But "bonehead" is far too kind a word for Bryson, who Brokaw described as "caught in the middle" of the crisis. In fact, as the key force behind the deregulation law, Bryson has been a major perpetrator.
After triumphing over Proposition 9, a 1998 ballot initiative backed by public interest and environmental groups that sought to roll back some of the deregulation scheme, Bryson and other utility leaders made a crucial miscalculation that has opened the door to a second mega-ripoff: They failed to freeze wholesale rates, which were deregulated in the early 1990s.
In the summer of 2000, the second shoe dropped: In a series of suspicious coincidences, a wave of shortages suddenly hit the California grid. Consumer prices in San Diego skyrocketed (the freeze there had been lifted because the local utility had received its full bailout). In the rest of the state, the utilities were caught in a vice of their own making, forced to sell power to consumers at frozen rates while being gouged by the power producers federal bureaucrats were refusing to regulate.
It was here that national media chimed in. The crisis, they said in virtual unison, was caused by a massive rise in electric demand, by the refusal of the environmental community to allow new power plants to be built, and by the cap on consumer rates which had been forced on the hapless utilities by a demanding public.
On January 29, Robert Samuelson wrote a lengthy analysis of the crisis for Newsweek. His coverage turned on the assertion that "once surging demand began to collide with fixed supply, the new [deregulated] system raised spot prices and drove the old utilities toward bankruptcy."
That "surging demand" is where most media accounts begin. Time's explanation (1/29/01) was typical: "California's power demand has grown nearly 25 percent since 1995, far in excess of the state's relatively small additions to capacity." That's what the numbers provided by industry groups like the Edison Electric Institute say, anyway. Independent evaluations of energy use in California undermine the idea that demand skyrocketed.
A Public Citizen study of data collected by the California Independent System Operator found that for four months in 2000, electricity demand was actually lower than it had been in 1999, and that overall there did not appear to be a major increase in demand across the state. But this puncturing of one of the major assumptions of the California energy story was virtually ignored by the press.
The San Francisco Chronicle's own analysis of electricity demand (3/11/01) came to a similar conclusion: that a mild increase in demand should not have posed a significant threat to the state. While the Chronicle found that the oft-repeated claims of skyrocketing demand a "myth," the rest of the media seemed largely uninterested: An Associated Press dispatch (3/11/01) summarizing the Chronicle's report did not appear to generate any media interest at all.
That wasn't deregulation!
It's an article of faith in mainstream reporting that deregulation will lower prices and improve service. While California would appear to deal a mortal blow to that piece of conventional wisdom, the media's fall-back position was established early on: What happened in California wasn't "real" deregulation.
On January 21, the Washington Post editorialized against "halfhearted deregulation," while Time (1/29/01) explained that "a market place that is only partly free is a prescription for complete disaster." An exasperated Ted Koppel (Nightline, 1/24/01) captured the frustration of many reporters best: "But how in heaven's name can anyone believe that you can put a price ceiling on the retail price and have no price ceiling on the wholesale price, and not in times of shortage expect it to go totally out of kilter?"
In fact, it was the utilities themselves that engineered that freeze. They set rates at 50 percent above the national average and funded a fake "discount" with a bond issue that will soak ratepayers with high-interest paybacks for years to come—a giant rip-off that falls below today's media radar screens. The utility companies set those rates in part to guarantee a huge bailout for their ill-advised investments. ("California's Deregulation Disaster," The Nation, 2/12/01) With little media scrutiny, they have so far laundered more than $20 billion in these "stranded costs" from the ratepayers to their parent companies.
To his credit, Newsweek's Samuelson noted in his January 29 piece that "new power companies have manipulated the spot market." Many other reporters and commentators have hedged their bets on that point. But the facts are clear: Enron, Reliant and the other friends of Bush who control the California power supply at its crucial margins have used their leverage to reap billions.
Far from being blamed for California's woes, Texas is occasionally touted as a model of efficiency. According to CBS Evening News (1/23/01), "If there is one place in the nation that's found a workable solution, it's Texas. Years ago, the Lone Star State decided to go into the electric power business alone–its own grid, no conflicts with neighboring states, fewer government regulations." To CBS, the fact that Texas energy companies are making huge profits from California's problems wasn't worth mentioning.
A green problem?
Newsweek's Samuelson embraced the conventional (and mistaken) view that blames the environmental community for the non-problem of electric supply. "If you want cheap power," he wrote (1/29/01), "you have to build power plants…. If you want to curb pollution and global warming, you can't have cheap power."
This couldn't be more false. Had the huge nuclear plants opposed by the environmental community not been built, and had their astronomical capital costs gone instead into renewable energy and efficiency, the California crisis would never have happened.
On January 29, John Greenwald of Time added another cavalier but misinformed dig, writing that California's "environmental laws make it a utility builder's nemesis." Like many other mainstream reporters, Greenwald totally ignored the Golden State's rich history as a pioneer in renewables, dating back to the late 1970s, when Gov. Jerry Brown fostered the tax credits that spurred the construction of more than 15,000 windmills.
There were problems with many of them. But in the early 1980s, California generated 95 percent of the world's wind-driven electricity. Solar energy was also coming on strong, as were increased efficiency and conservation. There was nothing in the state's environmental laws that prevented the progression to exactly where it needed to go–an energy economy based on sun, wind and advanced technology. Unfortunately, the state's laws were insufficient to stop construction of the Diablo Canyon and San Onofre nukes, which are at the heart of today's crisis.
Further, Greenwald and virtually all other mainstream reporters fail to note that Southern California Edison and the state's other big utilities campaigned successfully in the early 1990s to prevent large-scale construction of new wind, solar and other clean generating facilities–so as not to diminish the value of their own fossil-nuclear investments. It was that campaign, not strict environmental laws, that left the state's power supply vulnerable to out-of-state producers.
Can it spread?
One common media fear: that California's problems could "spread." A March 9 front page New York Times story by Tod Berenson links New York's power problems with those of California. It quotes Consolidated Edison chair Eugene McGrath warning that New York can only avoid future blackouts by building more power plants.
But the story quotes no sources advocating increased efficiency or renewables as an answer to future energy needs. Nor does it cite the billions wasted on the dangerous, inefficient Indian Point reactors that threaten the region 16 miles north of the metropolis. If anything will cripple New York's ability to cope with future energy needs, it will be the insistence by its private utilities that they be compensated for Indian Point and the other horrendously wasteful nuclear plants they built.
Nonetheless, media accounts from outside California hold fast to the idea that California's chief problem was its failure to bill citizens for the deregulatory disaster. Further into his story, Berenson matter-of-factly writes that "California caps its consumers' rates, and that is why its utilities, unable to pass on runaway wholesale costs, totter near bankruptcy and are relying on the state to buy power for them. New York, however, allows Con Ed to pass on its costs to ratepayers—the most crucial difference in the ways the two states deregulated."
What Berenson fails to say is: "God help the ratepayers of New York."
The irony of efficient public powerReporting from Los Angeles on January 25, the New York Times' Todd Purdum gives a passing mention to the hidden answer to the whole problem. "One of the oddities of the crisis," he writes, "is that Los Angeles, the state's largest city and its most economically and culturally dominant one, has been largely immune, since its municipal utility, the Department of Water and Power, was not subject to deregulation, and has its own sources of generation, and has sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of surplus electricity for use in other parts of the state."
This glancing reference to the LADWP embodies perhaps the greatest untold story of the entire disaster. Throughout the crisis, while private utilities have driven California to the brink of ruin, its two major public-owned utilities have thrived. The LADWP and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District have provided their customers with cheap, reliable power throughout, and, as mentioned, have even sold surpluses to the rest of the state.
Why? Because they are owned by the public, and their mission is to serve it rather than accumulate huge profits. Indeed, any sane newspaper would be reporting the crisis as a case study in why public power works and why unregulated private utilities do not.
Media "solutions"
But now the media are standing by with still more misinformation as phase three of the rip-off kicks in. Barreling toward Congress is a series of catastrophic energy bills designed to promote more drilling for gas and oil, and more subsidies for nuclear power, all in the name of avoiding "another California crisis."
In fact, oil from the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge or anywhere else will have no impact whatsoever on California. Only a tiny portion of the electricity used by California or the nation comes from burning oil.
The California "crisis" has even renewed calls for a return to nuclear power, ignoring that bad investments in nuclear energy are what got California where it is in the first place. NBC Nightly News gave this endorsement on March 18: "Nuclear power is a bargain compared to fossil fuel sources, especially natural gas. And nuclear power plants now produce more electricity than ever before–20 percent of the nation's total–and now the prospect of making electricity and profits for years to come." Further down in the report came the disclosure: NBC parent company General Electric stood to gain from this new round of nuclear speculation.
Meanwhile, the large scale wind, solar, efficiency and conservation technologies that could have prevented all this from happening remain unbuilt.
But by the time you read these simple facts in the major media, or see them discussed on the Sunday talk shows, hell will probably have frozen over. And they'll be arguing that more nukes are needed to thaw the place out.

Try to make this short. In May I contacted the Yavapi County AZ supervisors about all the gravel and glass and trash in the bike lane running from 89A on Lower Red Rock Loop Road. I was very please with the response that the lane will be swept.
Jump forward to September and to my surprise the county's answer to this issue was to eleminate the bike lane! In fact they just put more loose gravel where the bike lane once was and now you have no choice but to ride on the road. This is progress? Glad I added a 1/2 mile visibility blinky to my road bike.

Best Food Activist (2009)
Diane Campion of Slow Foods Glades to Coast
Slow Food Glades to Coast leader Diane Campion has to keep a lot of balls in the air, but she makes juggling Florida eggplants, oranges, and rounds of fresh mozzarella look like a breeze. Apart from a full-time job as a sales rep for Prime Line Distributors, Campion has organized and hosted the jolliest food events of the year: a fresh, green smorgasbord of slow food shindigs including lavish dinners at Café Boulud and 3030 Ocean, locavore cocktail parties at Forte and "green drink" menus for Earth Day, panel discussions on buying local, and demonstrations on creating edible gardens. Campion is a regular presence at national conferences advocating for humane, ecologically sound farming practices. She shows up to participate in strategy sessions for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, which has lobbied Gov. Crist for recognition of the plight of enslaved Florida farm workers. And she's a walking encyclopedia of worldwide food knowledge — sourcing rare cheeses from Italy, spreading awareness of Florida clam farming, gathering under her wing families who raise beef humanely and farm fish safely, and working with chefs to encourage them to buy from local growers. Campion has changed the way we eat in South Florida. But just as important, she's brought gastronomic joy to the table.

Night Angel by dem888Watch
©2010-2016 dem888
This is Kylar Stern from The Night Angel trilogy. The books are great.
Hope you like it!
Hope you like it!
this is awesome, i will have to read the trilogy now,
Just finished the second and started the 3rd, can't wait to see how it all ends.
Love 'em. Though, this clothing is too white. Needs to be mottled shades of gray, like an early form of camouflage clothing.
Love the representation. as said in other comments, not really that accurate, but awesome nonetheless.
Good Job this is really cool
Woooow Nice pic!! I love it!! thx!
Wow, this is amazing. I think this looks more like Durzo Blinto to me though.
Oh god why is that my username
It's an awesome picture, I love it! I don't think it accurately depicts Kylar as a wetboy, but great work!
The picture is amazing, but by the names of the blades he uses, they would be more Oriental in nature, and I'm not sure the wetboy grays are accurate. Still one hell of a picture though
I love these books, I just got done reading the first one and I have the other two on the way. Great piece of work you got here.
not as i pictured him.. no wetboy greys?
I picture the wetboy greys to be much darker, I also would imagine him with Retribution now as well.
just finished the trilogy good books. nic e art too btw
Le gasp, where be Retribution???? Or is this pre-Retribution?
Either way, this picture is awesome!
Either way, this picture is awesome!
Amazing ^^! I really adore this book series, Brent Weeks if my favorite writer! You should send this (or a new artpiece of yours) to Brent Weeks!
WOW!!! Kylar looks sooo hot like that. Love the way you portrait him!! Reminds me of Altair in the Assassins Creed games
Everything about those books is completely bad ass. And hence, your picture is perfect.
Beautiful depiction. I love the design on the armour.
This is a fantastic picture but I don't think it accurately portrays the wetboy garb. That is far too much armor, which would be hard to move fluidly and silently in.
Fantastic work, but not quite accurate in my opinion.
Fantastic work, but not quite accurate in my opinion.
re:armor. Agreed. I see him more in a flat black cloth wrap, much like you would see a classic ninja in. That being said. Amazing art work. Excellent details. Would have been nice to see Retribution and/or the KaKari over his eyes.
Just wondering, did you notice how the White Tower and the Chantry are similar, as are the Whitcloaks and the Lae'knaught?
Loved the Pic, but can you do Durzo?
Loved the Pic, but can you do Durzo?
man, that looks AMAZING. I can totally match this picture with Kylar it's truly amazing ^_^
I think everything that can be said about this has been--just an absolute masterpiece on capturing Kylar. ^_^
I love these books. I think you did a great job on kylar
I enjoy your take on Kylar. This is an amazing well done piece of fan art.
Masterfully done. Indeed a wonderful job. I do enjoy the series. If only there others with such excitement.
i love it bc its from my favorite books
Just finished reading the series! IT'S AMAZING!!! Great worK, here!
its an awesome picture dont get me wrong...but where exactly in books did it say that he wore armour and where is retribution?
Who's to say even assassin's can't wear some kind of light armor? And this is probably during his tutelage under Durzo.
this is more like something from assassins creed. mainly because this outfit has white in it and is not mottled black. And i do believe that his wetboy grays are skin tight. this looks more like a suit of armor
wow i read those books ..they where great i've never seen a picture that looks how i'd imagined Kylar as ...until now
Awesome, hard to find good Night Angel Fanart bravo bravo. ^_^
It's definitely different than how I pictured Kylar (mainly because of Brent's not-so-subtle ninja allusions), but, goddamn if it don't look badass and work.
I've been reading this lately and was wondering if anyone had done some work about Kylar. Very nice illustration of him. The wetboy greys are pretty much how i pictured them as well. Keep up the good work!
i love the books!
Awsomeness! Shouldve drawn him with retribution though
can we please please please get one of Vi she's the oneperson i haven't seen one decent pick of lol
To be honest, I looked at the art, read through the comments, and have come to this conclusion: Brent Weeks did not go into detail about armor, he -was- specific that the wetboys wore 'greys' but... I mean honestly... THIS is the way a proper kicks-others-assassins'-asses-style killer should dress. Lightweight, jointed leather, maybe a metal guard or two thrown in to protect the joints. Obscures the gender, as was intended, and the face even the facial shape. I think after as much damage as Kylar took, he might wise up in his aging time and invest in a bit of other-stuff for his romps around, ka'kari or no. I think it looks marvelous, definitely my favorite. I -adore- the setting, the colors, and especially the sky~
Very niiiiiice!
Awesome job on Kylar, really love his character and how you depicted him here.
Meh. I'm torn. While this is the best drawn out of all the NA pictures, it isn't right. So I don't whether or not I should like it.
I mean, the weaponry is right, given that this is likely before he got the you know what from Durzo. But... it's too heavy. The grays are just suppose to be clothing, with a hood, and a tiny mask INSIDE the hood. Your depiction has too much armor and other such things.

"If I stopped...I would be doing my son's death a dishonor"
A Q&A with Lila Lipscomb of Fahrenheit 9/11
class=img_thumbleft>In April 2003, Lila Lipscomb learned that hereldest son
, a Black Hawk door gunner in the U.S. armed forces, had been shot down and killed in Iraq. When we meet her in Michael Moore'sFahrenheit 9/11
, she's undergoing a radical change in her personal politics. Once a flag-flying patriot and backer of the Bush administration, Lipscomb is on her way to becoming a flag-flying, high-profile critic of GWB, his administration, and their war.
Since the premiere of Moore's film, Lipscomb has logged more than 300 appearances and interviews. And its in this capacity, as a member of the peace organization Military Families Speak Out, that the 51-year old will be speaking on Saturday and Sunday, July 30-31 at the Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar in St. Paul.
Interviewing Lipscomb can be tricky. It seems crass to ask her challenging questions about her politics and perspective: As she puts it, "you can doubt my convictions, but you can't doubt my grief as a mother." But that's just it: Lipscomb's politics and her maternal loss are so tightly interwoven that it's nearly impossible to question one without impugning the other.
As in Moore's film, Lipscomb is a powerful speaker. In undressed language, she expresses gratitude for the strangers who give her newspaper clippings and hugs. When asked about the skeptics, she says she's been sheltered by "my son's angel wings wrapped around me." Ultimately, it's a strange effect this antiwar activist has, delivering stark denunciations in the comforting voice of the mother of a childhood friend.
City Pages: Are you still pro-military?
Lipscomb: Absolutely.
CP: Is it a matter of these troops being used for a justifiable cause?
Lipscomb: Let me say to you that I'm not a dumb woman, and I do understand that a country needs to have a military. But a country needs military for what purpose? For protection. So going and cramming democracy down people's throats throughout the world is not what I [feel] my troops should be used for.
CP: With a year of hindsight, how do you feel about Fahrenheit 9/11?
Lipscomb: You know, I am just so blessed that I've been given this incredible opportunity to have Fahrenheit as a platform for my son's voice, and for my voice. It's a gift, and it's a gift that I don't take lightly.
CP: Did you take any issue with the way you were depicted in Moore's film?
Lipscomb: Let me just explain it to you this way. From the very beginning when I was contacted by Michael's office, I was given complete authority over my sections of the film. After the premiere in New York City, Michael came to me again and said, 'Lila, are you okay with it? I need you to really think about it and see if there's even one little thing or one word that you don't like, let me know and I'll take it out.' So throughout the entire process I was totally respected. always. And I wouldn't expect anything different from him. I'm not the president who went and killed thousands and thousands of people, so he treats me, I think, a little differently.
CP: What do you think when you meet parents who have also lost children, yet still back the war completely?
Lipscomb: It's so okay with me, that that's where they are. It's [not my place to pass] judgment on them. That's just who they are and what they believe. And just as I don't judge them, I would hope that they wouldn't judge me. The loss of a child is what unites us together. Whether you believe in the cause or not, their child is still dead, just like my child.
CP:...um...I'm trying to be as sensitive as possible since this is a delicate subject...
Lipscomb: Don't worry, you don't have to. Just be authentic.
CP: All right. Your whole campaign is to change minds, so doesn't it pain you that they're backing a cause that ultimately isn't justified?
Lipscomb: Yeah, it does. It really, really does. Because I feel that they have been blind-sided, and it really does pain me. But in the same sense that it pains me, all I can do is support them, and hold them, and share information with them, and just pray that their eyes too will be opened.
CP: Do you think they need to take solace in the "nobility" of the cause for which their son or daughter or husband or wife died?
Lipscomb: Well, the way I see that is, that's what they have to do to hang on. And one of the things I've learned in losing a son is you have do what you have to do to hang on. When my son died a very good friend of mine helped me through everything. I remember her always asking me the question, 'Lila, what is it that you need?' And I can remember my response to her every single time was, 'I need to keep going.' And I knew through all my grief that I could never stop. Because I knew that if I stopped, I would become isolated, and I would become withdrawn, and I would end up in my home. And then I would be doing my son's death a dishonor. So I couldn't do that.
You know, people that have not lost anybody in this war, it hasn't touched them. And so, they sometimes seem to be very opinionated about the war. And the reason that I'm out there is so the war doesn't end up touching them. I don't want them to have to learn things the way I had to learn things in losing a son. You know, and I still say, 'you know, we live in America, and America was founded on democracy, and they have a right to their opinion just like I do.' But don't be afraid to come to the table and have a conversation.
CP: If before the war you had had the information you have today, what sort of views would you have toward Bush and toward the proposal of war?
Lipscomb: If I had the information I had today?
CP: Yeah.
Lipscomb: I would have chained myself to the White House.

"The Mt Pleasant Heritage Trail" Washington D.C. Travelogue by Tom_Fields
Washington D.C. Travel Guide: 5,743 reviews and 15,398 photos
The Mt Pleasant Heritage Trail is marked by 17 placards, which detail the history and culture of this historic neighborhood. A free companion guide can be obtained at a number of local businesses. To hike the entire walk takes about an hour and a half. Of course, I stopped a few times along the way for coffee.
Asbury Park, shown in this photo, has a statue of Francis Asbury, an early Methodist missionary. In the background are the Kenesaw Apartments, dating from 1906. This was the first of many fancy apartment buildings on 16th St.
Completed in 1925, this library is still in service. Finance by the Carnegie Foundation and designed by Edward Tilton (who designed other Carnegie libraries), this is an overlooked gem.
During the Great Depression, Aurelius Battaglia created some lovely murals inside this building. Funded by President Roosevelt's Public Works of Art program (part of his New Deal), they continue to adorn the children's library upstairs. Battaglia later worked on Walt Disney's Dumbo and Pinnochio. They bring out the child in all of us. Be sure to examine the tiles around the old fireplace, too.
In front of the public library, on the corner of 16th and Park Road, stands a monument to Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi, who helped invent radio.
Built in the early 1850's, this home was part of a 139-acre estate. Designed by Thomas Ustick Walter, who designed parts of the US Capitol, it is now the oldest structure in Mt Pleasant. Today, it's a nursing home. Located on Newton St, just a few blocks off 16th St.
The legendary blues/rocker Bo Diddley, one of the founders of rock'n roll music, lived here at 1724 Newton St, back in the early 1960s.
Originally named the House of Mercy, this was a home for "fallen women". Today, it serves children by providing education and family support. At Rosemount Avenue and Klingle Road.
Robert Deane, a local doctor, bought this home in 1950 from Lillian Curry. The trouble was that mortgages in Mt Pleasant had a "covenant" that specified that no home could be sold to a black family, such as Dr Deane's. When the neighbors sued to stop the sale, they lost (the Supreme Court had already ruled that these covenants were illegal).
Dr Deane remained here until his death in 2001. It's at 1841 Park Road.
During the Civil War, Samuel Brown bought 73 acres here from William Selden, a former US Treasurer. As the war raged on, Union army camps and hospitals occupied this ground. Brown built a mansion here.
Later, he turned his holdings over to developers. So began Mt Pleasant. In 1906, a group of local residents bought this land, then sold it to the city for use as a park. Ever since, Triangle Park, where Brown's mansion once stood, has been a popular hangout and meeting place.

I'm very pleased with the turnout this time. Democracy is a little more democratic that way. The result, if you don't already ,was
Gleel, the Glee Pokemon. Gleel can typically be found haunting the graves of those who died happy. In some areas, in fact, they are considered to be the reincarnations of those who die happy. Sprite by Ivyon.
Thanks again for voting. No more fakemon for a little while, but feel free to comment as always. New screenshots coming tomorrow night!

I've got to a point where i want to start using version control for my project. Mainly for reverting to previous versions of files if things go belly up, doing diff comparisons. Nothing major.
I want something that integrates well with visual studio, and something thats relatively simple to setup. - prefereably with a link to a tutorial for setting up would be nice.
Im just using my pc for this so something like TFS is out of the question.

Since Fr. Joe has opened up the discussion on translations, I thought I would join in. While writing my masters' thesis, I created the table below to compare certain translations of three collects from the Roman Missal. The first column is the Latin. The second is a "traditional" translation of the text taken either from Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer (1st and 3rd prayers) or from an attempt at one by the historian Eamon Duffy. The third is the ICEL translation from the 1973 Sacramentary, still currently in use. The final column are the revised collects from the ICEL Sacramentarythat was approved in 1997 but rejected by the Congregation for Divine Worship in 2002.
11th Sun in OT
12th Sun in OT
30th Sun in OT
When we compare the 1973 and 1997 translations, it seems clear that the ICELtook to heart some of thecriticisms they received about the 1973 collects. The 1997 versions are more faithful to theoriginal Latin andconvey a number of concepts that were essentially left on the cutting room floor in 1973. What I do not have at my disposal--and would love to see if any readers out there have access to them--are the collects from the same Sundays in the ICEL translation that was just considered by the USCCB.I would like to place them on the chart above and see how much better (or worse, depending on your point of view) they really are.I often find in this debate that critics of the (pre-2001) ICEL continue to refer back to the1973 collects as if there had beenno development since then. That is not the case.Earlyin the revision process, the ICEL conducted a consultation withits member episcopal conferences in which theissue of the "register" of the language of the collects was raised by many bishops. I think there is no question that the1997translations are more "sacral" in character than the ones from 1973. One can still quibble, of course, about whether, for example,a phrase like "enable us to cherish" adequately renders the forcefulness of "fac nos amare." But, by and large, I think the improvement is significant, even if I might quibble with some of the specific decisions.I think this is important because defenders of the Congregation for Divine Worshipsometimes suggest that the promulgation of Liturgiam Authenticam and the restructuring of ICEL were the only way that we were going to get English prayers that werean improvement over those of 1973.I think the historical evidence suggests otherwise.

The first in Neville's series centering on scandalous women and the art world is a deliciously wicked tale that pits a scandalous duchess (think the Duchess of Devonshire) against a very proper duke. This ready-made conflict is not new, but the backdrop and the eccentric cast of characters are charming and what many readers will admire and savor.
At 17, Caro Townsend shocked the ton by running off and marrying an inveterate gambler. Six years later, the debt-ridden but vivacious duchess outrageously opens her home to artists and her husband's friends. Suddenly Caro find herself chaperone to her niece and the girl's fiancé, the staid Thomas, Duke of Castleton. When duty-bound Thomas meets Caro, his idea of a proper wife is turned upside down. She's shocking, sensual, outspoken and as beautiful as the Titian painting she has hidden in a secret closet. Will being wicked bring Thomas everything he desires? (AVON, Dec., 350 pp., $7.99)

"The reality is, the official policy of the Vatican dating back to 1986 is that any group that does not adhere to official Catholic teaching on homosexuality cannot use church space," said the group's executive director.
What to do when someone's religious beliefs or ideas conflict with your need and want for safer sex and pregnancy prevention.
All people deserve access to the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their own health, including students at a Catholic university.
Looking back, I now realize that finding contraception at Fordham was kind of like trying to find a suitable mate through a wanted ad. Even though you know it's out there, you can't believe what you have to go through to get it!
Fordham University prohibits the prescription of contraception at its health centers and the distribution of condoms on campus though many students aren't aware of that until they've paid for the school's insurance or visited the health center. Many are denied birth control even when facing health risks. This week, law students at the Catholic school are taking matters into their own hands by organizing a clinic just off-campus.
As a young twenty-something, I welcomed two very wanted, well-loved babies into the world. Once things began to deteriorate between their father and I, I knew without a doubt that any future pregnancy we faced would be terminated. In October 2010, I had an abortion.
A report released by the Guttmacher Institute yesterday shows that while religious affiliation may play some role in decisions regarding sexual behavior, it has little to do with whether women (married and unmarried) use contraception.
The vast majority of women who identify as Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and of other faiths have sex and use contraception at some point in their lives. Contraception is not controversial to real-life people. It only is when men in the far right repeat this ad nauseum. Let's stop repeating after them.
Judge rules that Montgomery County, MD, overstepped on signage requirement at crisis pregnancy centers, fetal pain bill struck down in Arkansas, North Dakota bishops make list of charities Catholics shouldn't support, IRS set to become abortion police if H.R. 3 passes.
What do People For the American Way, National Organization for Women, Feminist Majority Foundation, Catholics for Choice, Religious Coalition for Reproductive rights and Choice have in common? the Silver Ribbon campaign to Trust Women. Join us now!

Columnist Written on September 22, 2009
In the bottom-line business that is professional sports, the most important thing that happened to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday was another loss.
In losing 9-7 to the Redskins in Washington, the Rams are now 0-2 and two games back of the 2-0 San Francisco ***** heading into next weeks home opener against Green Bay.
And if the Rams were a team with high expectations, falling to 0-2 would be borderline catastrophic. Three teams last year made the playoffs from 0-2, but that was an anomaly. Most of the time, 0-2 is a precursor to disaster.
But the Rams arent a team with high expectations. Not even the most die-hard pie-in-the-sky Rams fan dared dream of better than 7-9 or maybe (if they were high or drunk) 8-8.
So yes, the Rams lost again on Sunday, 0-2 is 0-2, and you are what your record says you are. But when youre the St. Louis Rams and youre 5-29 over your last 34 games, you learn to find the hidden positives in the bottom-line failures.
And so it comes to pass that losing 9-7 to Washington can be considered a success in many ways.
Red zone defense: The Redskins lone scores came on Shaun Suisham field goals of 21, 28 and 23 yards. Washington came close to a touchdown on one other occasion. In the fourth quarter, David Vobora stopped Clinton Portis two yards behind the line of scrimmage on 4th-and-1 from the St. Louis two-yard line.
On each of those drives, the Rams defense held strong with their backs against their own goal-line, forcing the Redskins to settle for three rather than seven.
Steven Jackson: Not only did Jackson finish with 104 yards on just 17 carries for a 6.1 yard average, he also got involved in the pass game with four catches for 15 yards.
A week after not catching a single ball against Seattle, it was encouraging to see quarterback Marc Bulger take advantage of the best player on offense in more ways than one.
The run defense: Washington did gain 125 yards on the ground, but it took them 33 attempts to get there. Not counting the three kneel-downs at the end, the Redskins gained 121 on 30 carries.
For a team that gave up 4.9 yards per rush attempt last year and 117 yards on 19 carries to Julius Jones in Week One, it was heartening to see Clinton Portis held to just 76 yards on 19 carries.
The pass defense: Even though Chris Cooley had seven catches for 83 yardscontinuing a trend of the Rams defense getting shredded by opposing tight endsits worth noting four of Cooleys seven catches came in the first eight minutes, and six came in the first half. In a tight game that was in doubt until the end, Cooley did not have a single reception during the last 24 minutes of the game.
Other than Cooley, no Redskins received had more than four catches or 41 yards receiving.
Laurent Robinson: The state of the Rams' passing attack is pathetic and Donnie Avery was a total non-factor (actually worse), but Robinson did his part with six catches for 54 yards. He also had his first Rams touchdown, a beautiful high grab on a 3rd-and-goal fade pass late in the first half.
The talk coming into this season was that Avery was the unquestioned leader and maybe Robinson could beat out Keenan Burton for the second WR position. Right now its Robinson leading the team in catches with 11 for 141 yards and the touchdown. Hes also been targeted a team-high 19 times, with Avery at 14.
Now he just needs a quarterback who can throw the deep ball.
(Consider that a tease for a column Ill be running later this season; working title: The Rams Should Have Taken Mark Sanchez.)
To go along with the pass attack, theres a whole lot of other things the Rams need to work on. From clock management to covering the opposing tight end to evening out the time of possession, the Rams gotta-get-better-at list is a long one.
But for going to 0-2, there was enough positive in this game to at least feel like theres progress being made.

First off, if you want to blow your top on me cause I'm riding my 2 year old, you can just click the back button and leave this thread alone.
Now, for everyone else:
I've been excited and kind of scared of this day for a while. I've been doing a lot of groundwork and stuff with her for a while now. I know she can buck and do all kind of interesting things. She's a strong girl!
I'm planning on putting maybe 10 rides on her before July 30th and calling it about good for the year.

They work but the thing is you MUST work out and eat healthy, if you don't they have no effect what so ever. When I did work out and take theses they made my belly fat go down and I had better energy during exercise. But when I stopped working out, it stopped working.

I've been taking the CLA-1300 for approximately 2-weeks & thus far, seems to be working fairly well. My understanding is true results take effect in approx 3-weeks after faithful use. Additionally, I read that the CLA-1300 can be "assisted" with Green Tea. I'm gonna keep using it as it has been holding my cravings back and I have not been as hungry.

It did control my appetite very well , but I did not lose any weight at all , instead I gained a few pounds even though I was barely eating. I took it for one week. After noticing I was , in fact gaining , I stopped taking it , and after 1 day , started losing again. Just to be sure it was the CLA causing the weight gain , I tried it again for 3 days , and sure enough I started gaining again. As soon as I stopped taking it , weight loss resumed. I love the appetite suppressent part of it , but not the weight gain. It did a good job of supressing my appetite , I was not hungry at all through the day. But for some strange reason I gained weight.

Vasseur sprints to first stage win in 10 years
Updated: July 18, 2007, 1:48 PM ETAssociated Press
MARSEILLE, France -- Cedric Vasseur became the first French rider to win this year at the Tour de France, and Michael Rasmussen of Denmark kept the overall lead in the 10th stage on Wednesday.

Lee Child�s sensational �Never Go Back� (Delacorte, 416 pages, $28) opens with his reluctantly Quixotic Jack Reacher at long last arriving in Virginia three books after first falling for a woman�s voice on the other end of a phone line there. He returns to the headquarters of the 110th Military Police that he once commanded to find his successor and owner of that voice, Susan Turner, jailed on what he deduces in true Reacher Rorschach Test fashion to be trumped-up charges rooted in typically deep and dark conspiracy.
Before he can investigate further Reacher is arrested himself and forced to put up with a pair of Army lawyers who don�t want to give him the time of day because he�s clearly operating in another zone altogether. But they aren�t the enemy; whoever�s running an operation in Afghanistan that got two members of the 110th murdered is Reacher�s real mark and the force behind trying to bring him down once and for all.
But there�s more. Something has surfaced in our old friend�s past that whisks him and Turner from the East Coast to the West where yet another product of his nomadic existence may wait. That�s the thing about Reacher; he�s always in motion � never stale, and that keeps the series forever fresh after 18 entries. �Never Go Back� is the perfect blend of form and function, a primer on everything great storytelling is supposed to be.
Nelson DeMille is at the absolute peak of his powers in �The Quest� (Center Street, 464 pages, $26) an epic tale that�s broad in both scope and vision, harkening back to his earlier masterworks such as �The Charm School� and �By the Rivers of Babylon� as it brings the action in Africa of the mid-1970s. That�s where an old priest named Father Armando emerges from a bombed-out prison after decades in captivity with the location of nothing less than the Holy Grail tucked in his mind.
From there, staged against the backdrop of the endless Ethiopian civil war, the quest of the title begins in search of it, undertaken by a trio of intrepid journalists (well, two plus a photographer), including the hard-bitten and hard-driving Frank Purcell, who�s standing in for DeMille�s redoubtable John Corey this time out. Purcell becomes our Robert Langdon as the book takes on the texture and feel of Dan Brown at his level best, chock full of mysticism, murderous monks, deadly assassins, and vengeful natives all on a quest to either find the Grail or make sure its secrets remain hidden forever.
This is adventure on the grandest of scales and richest of tapestries, Wilbur Smith and Fredrick Forsythe rolled into one with some Indian Jones tossed in for good measure. A masterpiece fashioned by a storyteller who simply has no rival.
