"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke
Thought food…
The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

St. Gregory Nazianzus ep. 131 - AD 382"We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women. If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market."

Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."

Warning: She's armed
My first wife and I are well into our fifth decade of marriage. You might think there's nothing under the sun we don't know about each other. That's exactly what I thought too. Until last week.
Everyone knows that I detest squirrels. I've told you over the years about my battles to keep these pests away from bird feeders. I've tried just about every tactic I can think of to convince squirrels they are not welcome.
Squirrels apparently think all of these efforts are cute. They keep showing up in larger and larger numbers.
I would gladly share some of my anti-squirrel methods with you in hopes that you might critique them and offer constructive suggestions. But, frankly, I don't know if some -- or any -- of them are legal, so I'll not set myself up for an arrest, if that's OK with you.
Suffice to say I would not shed a tear over a dead squirrel.
Motorists sometimes drive erratically when they try to steer around a cute squirrel crossing the street. I, on the other hand, drive like a maniac trying to run over the little demons.
My wife tells everyone she is surprised by my war on squirrels, because I am such a nice person otherwise.
Now the tables have turned.
A lot of you know my wife. You know what a kind, considerate, compassionate, friendly, smiling, loving person she is.
Guess what?
She also has a murderous streak.
I'm not kidding.
Here's the scoop. We have two large urns by the steps that go to the street in front of our house. These urns are well-suited for flowering plants and other decorative foliage. Every spring my wife goes to the garden center and carefully picks out just the right combination of plants for the urns. She fills the urns with a visual feast of greens and golds and purples. The day after the planting of the urns she goes to the front window to admire the beauty of her handiwork.
My wife rarely raises her voice in anger. But on this particular morning, the morning after the urns have received their springtime supply of plants, she shrieks: "I'm going to kill them!"
"Them" are the deer that boldly appropriate anything they like to eat in our yard and the neighbor's yard. They save what's in the urns for dessert.
Folks, we do not live in some remote patch of woods. We live in a neighborhood where most of the houses were built in the 1950s. We are bordered by university buildings and busy streets. We have electricity and indoor plumbing. We are city dwellers -- along with deer, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, ground hogs, possums and, of course, the dreaded squirrels.
Last year my wife sought the advice of one garden-center owner who suggested a particular flowering plant that has pretty blossoms but a dreadful smell. And deer don't like it. Maybe that would protect the other plants in the urn, my wife thought. As it turned out, the deer did not touch the toxic plant -- but managed to nibble everything else right down to the potting soil.
This week my wife said she was going to consult a friend who lives in the country and has several acres of landscaped flowering plants, shrubs and trees. My wife said her friend must know the secret for keeping the deer at bay.
"Does her husband own a rifle?" I innocently asked.
As it turns out, he does. For the first time my wife seems to understand my passion for the BB gun (with laser scope) she bought me for my birthday a few years back.
I think my wife has her eyes on a thirty-ought-something-or-other. I think she's serious.

Abstract: 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its metabolite, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+), have been shown to cause a number of lesions in dopaminergic pathways of the nigro-striatal region of the brain. However, data on the effects of these neurotoxins on other aspects of brain metabolism are scarce. The data presented here show that MPTP and MPP+ inhibit glucose oxidation via the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and acetylcholine synthesis in synaptosomal preparations from rat forebrain. Monoamine oxidase B inhibitors (e.g., pargyline, MDL 72145) relieve the inhibition caused by MPTP but not MPP+. The inhibitory effects of MPP+ on glucose oxidation and acetylcholine synthesis are a consequence of the decreased glucose metabolism in synaptosomes and are consistent with its role as an inhibitor of the Complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

A Midsummer Night's Dream, GSMD
There were high hopes for the 2012 debut production of A Midummer Night's Dream by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama's Opera programme .
On February 7, 1786, Emperor Joseph II of Austria had brand new one-act operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri performed in the Schönbrunn Palace's Orangery.
Those poor opera lovers in Cologne have a never ending problem with the city's opera house. Together with the rest of city, the construction of the new opera house is mired in political incompetence.
London remains starved of Wagner. This season, its major companies offer but two works, Tannhäuser from the Royal Opera and Tristan from ENO.
Dmitry Bertman's hilarious staging of Rimsky-Korsakov's political sex-comedy The Golden Cockerel in Düsseldorf.
On April 16, 2016, San Diego Opera presented Giacomo Puccini's sixth opera, Madama Butterfly, in an intriguing production by Garnett Bruce. Roberto Oswald's scenery included the usual Japanese styled house with many sliding doors and walls. On either side, however, were blooming cherry trees with rough trunks and gnarled branches that looked as though they had been growing on the property for a hundred years.
New Co-Production Tristan und Isolde with Metropolitan: Simon Rattle and Westbroek electrify Treliński's Opera-Noir.
In an operatic world crowded with sure-fire bread and butter repertoire, Opera San Jose has boldly chosen to lavish a new production on a dark horse, Andre Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire.
Choral symphony, oratorio, symphonic poem — Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette does not fit into any mould. It has the potential to work as an opera-ballet, but incoherent storytelling and uninspired conducting undermined this production.
When Kasper Holten took the precaution of pre-warning ticket-holders that the Royal Opera House's new production of Lucia di Lammermoor featured scene portraying 'sexual acts' and 'violence', one assumed that he was aiming to avert a re-run of the jeering and hectoring that accompanied last season's Guillaume Tell. He even went so far as to offer concerned patrons a refund.
These are five very different reviews by students at the University of Maryland on its Opera Studio production of Regina — an interesting, informative and entertaining read . . .
'Remember me, the one who is Pia;/ Siena made me, Maremma undid me.' The speaker is Pia de' Tolomei. She appears in a brief episode of Dante's Divine Comedy (Purgatorio V, 130-136) which was the source for Gaetano Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei - by way of Bartolomeo Sestini's verse-novella of 1825.
"The large measure of formalism which forms the basis of De Materie does not in itself offer any guarantee that the work will be beautiful," says Dutch composer Louis Andriessen of his four-movement opera.
On April 1, 2016, Arizona Opera presented Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) and Arrigo Boito (1842-1918) in Phoenix. Although Boito based most of his libretto on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, he used material from Henry IV as well. Verdi wrote the music when he was close to the age of eighty. He was concerned about his ability at that advanced age, but he was immensely pleased with Boito's text and decided to compose his second comedy, despite the fact that his first, Un giorno di regno, had not been successful.
The brand new SF Opera Lab opened last month with artist William Kentridge's staged Schubert Winterreise. Its second production just now, Svadba-Wedding — an a cappella opera for six female voices — unabashedly exposes the space in a different, non-theatrical configuration.
One may think of Tosca as the most Roman of all operas, after all it has been performed at the Teatro Costanzi (Rome's opera house) well over a thousand times since 1900. Though equally, maybe even more Roman is Hector Berlioz' Benvenuto Cellini that has had only a dozen or so performances in Rome since 1838.
Roll up! A new opera by Handel is to be performed, L'Elpidia overo li rivali generosi. It is based upon a libretto by Apostolo Zeno with music by Leonardo Vinci - excepting a couple of arias by Giuseppe Orlandini and, additionally, two from Antonio Lotti's Teofane (which the star bass, Giuseppe Maria Boschi , on bringing with him from the Dresden production of 1719).
Radvanovsky in New York, Devia in Genoa — Donizetti queens are indeed in the news! Just now in Genoa Mariella Devia was the Elizabeth I for her beloved Roberto Devereux in a new trilogy of Donizetti queens (Maria Stuarda and Anne Bolena) directed by baritone Alfonso Antoniozzi.
'All men become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his.' 'Is that clever?' 'It is perfectly phrased!'
Evolving in Mahler's Third: Dudamel and L.A. Philharmonic's impressive adaption to the Concertgebouw
Though all big opera is called grand opera, French grand opera itself is a very specific genre. It is an ephemeral style not at all easy to bring to life. For example . . .
There were high hopes for the 2012 debut production of A Midummer Night's Dream by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama's Opera programme .
Instead of the usual cramped GSMD theatre, this took place in the Barbican Theatre, which allows much more scope for ambitious work, and training in theatre skills, part of the GSMD brief. At the Barbican, young artists of the future have a bigger platform in every way.
A magical effect to begin with. The mechanical curtain was imaginatively clothed in sparkling metal strips. Then, the set revealed a dormitory, perhaps some spartan public school whose fees don't cover humane accommodation for the inmates. Fair enough, for Britten was traumatized at boarding school, and his music retraces lost innocence over and over again. Then in come the lovers, Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena appear in 1940's military garb. Later, Bottom awakes in a bed suspended above the stage. If these images seem familiar, they're derived. like collage, from several recent professional productions including the ENO, Garsington Opera and Glyndebourne. That's not in itself a problem, since GSMD students are there to learn.
Perhaps this production was a collaborative effort, involving as many students as possible in the process, but Director Martin Lloyd-Evans might have exerted tighter editorial control to ensure a coherent vision. There are many levels in Shakespeare and in Britten, so A Midsummer Night's Dream provides wonderful opportunities for young directors and designers to engage with many ideas. This time, though, everyone seemed to be playing safe. The designs (Dick Bird) don't suggest that much thought has been put into the production. GSMD students are capable of very good work indeed. Read here about their production of Dialogues des Carmélites last year That was outstanding, and would have done credit to a professional house.
When the energy of the cast is engaged, however, there are excellent moments. The mechanicals, in particular, moved precisely, as if in a chorus line, each man perfectly synchronised, arms askew. (Movement by Victoria Newlyn). Very impressive, but individual personalities are not well defined. Not even Bottom, whom Shakespeare singles out for special treatment. It's a wonderful role, which Barnaby Rea sang well but wasn't called upon to develop theatrically. The lovers were well done, Ashley Riches's distinctive voice instantly recognizable, even in anonymous uniform. We need good countertenors and Tom Verney's Oberon had imposing presence. He's very young so could well develop an interesting profile. Good singing from the choruses, particularly the quartet of fairies, who were vivacious and well blocked. Given the high calibre of GSMD's Technical Theatre course participants, one might have expected more imaginative special effects to create the magic the staging lacked. At the Linbury Theatre a few years ago, Puck was played by a circus artist, abseiling from wires, as if he could fly.
Sky Ingram as Helena, Stuart Laing as Lysander and Ashley Riches as Demetrius
Nonetheless, best for last. Shakespeare and Britten wrote the Mechanical's stage play with such wit that it's impossible not to make it effective theatre. Now each singer made his mark, each evidently enjoying himself camping up and having fun. Theseus, Hippolyta and the lovers sneer, but Shakespeare and Britten knew that amateur dramatics have quaint charm.
Anne Ozorio
The Mechanicals

Delhomme: A Correction
Nov 20, 2004, 2:12 AM EDT
Comments Off on Delhomme: A Correction
In a post on Wednesday, I incorrectly said that Jake Delhomme didn't take an NFL snap before the 2002 season. He started two games late in the 1999 season, going 42 for 76 (55.3%) for 521 yards (6.9 per attempt), 3 TD's and 5 INT's.
It's certainly possible that Schottenheimer could have coveted Delhomme based on those two games. There still would have been the obstacle of Delhomme's status as either signed or a restricted free agent.

Is there more to life than money?
18 May 2012 17:30 GMT | Sport, Cycling
World champion Mark Cavendish won the 13th stage of the Giro d'Italia in a sprint finish on Friday as Joaquin Rodriguez retained the overall lead.
It was the third win of this year's Giro for Cavendish, who finished in a time of 3 hours, 2 minutes, 7 seconds on the shortest leg of the race, a 121-kilometre ride from Savona to Cervere.
The Briton appeared boxed in on the approach to the line but managed to squeeze past former teammate Matt Goss for the win. Alexander Kristoff was second and Mark Renshaw third. Goss had looked on course for victory but set off too early, leaving the Australian sixth.Early breakaway
The route was mainly downhill apart from a short climb at the beginning.
There was an early breakaway as Martijn Keizer and Francesco Failli created a gap of four minutes 15 kilometres into the day. The gap eventually increased to more than five minutes before the peloton started reeling it in.
Team Sky and Greenedge took to the front as the peloton cycled into the final 2.5-kilometre home straight, preparing to give Cavendish and Goss the best possible chances.
Cavendish then left his team behind and held off attacks from other sprinters as he forced his way through, bursting clear just 100 metres from the line and winning by a bike length for his 10th Giro stage win of his career.
There was no change in the overall standings and Rodriguez retains a lead of 17 seconds over Ryder Hesjedal. The Spaniard will wear the pink jersey for the fourth successive day on Saturday.
The race moves to the Alps next, with the 14th stage covering 205 kilometres from Cherasco to Cervinia. With just one more stage that suits the sprinters - stage 18 - several are expected to withdraw overnight.The Giro ends on May 27 in Milan.

With only one more sprinting stage left of Giro, Joaquin Rodriguez maintains overall lead with Lars Bak claiming stage.

Smoke and Mirrors: What is a café in the UAE without sheesha?
Are we really saying goodbye to the city's Arabic café staple that is the sheesha? Good for the lungs, bad for business. How will cafés offset this imminent sheesha ban?
June 12, 2011 4:41 by Precious de Leon
An article on Emirates 24/7 this weekend, suggested that coffee shops in the UAE's towns and residential areas that are "relying heavily on sheesha smokers" will have to either leave to a less congested location or shut down altogether (not exactly ideal proposals for any business).
The move is said to be part of an anti-smoking law which will reportedly be enforced soon. Once the federal law has been ratified, cafés will have six months to make the make or break decision.
What's different about Sheesha (or Hookah as some of you may call it) is that it has become so ingrained in the Middle Eastern culture. It's completes the picture of a serene social setting across the region.
This isn't a surprise, however. The UAE government has been slowly weaning the country out of its hard-to-break habit. Back in 2009, the municipality banned smoking shisha at beaches, parks and other family areas as part of moves to stamp out smoking in public places. And even earlier than that is the 2007 ban for youth under 20 years old to have Sheesha.
The UAE, for years, has been working on a federal law regulating tobacco and its uses, content and trade, in accordance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention of Tobacco Control (FCTC).
So should the law actually be enforced soon, how will these 'sheesha cafés' in? Well, they will have to take notes from their counterparts neighbouring Sharjah, which has banned Sheesha for years (from what Kipp could tell, the Sharjah ban is at least ten years old, from the last paragraph of this article).
"The law is clear…all these coffee shops which serve sheesha for its customers will have to shift outside residential areas to industrial zones," Dr Widad Almaidour, director of the anti-smoking team at the Ministry of Health, was quoted as saying by Arabic language daily Al Ittihad.
The question that's left is for business owners to figure out how they will offset this loss. Will most of them ply their trade out of the city and residences, when their business thrives on heavy pedestrian traffic? Or stick it out in the same location, competing on hot and cold beverages and snack foods?
Perhaps the added value of life entertainment? Or compete on ambience, service, pricing? Whatever it is, it will have to be really good since its customers will have to really make the effort to drive over so they can enjoy some 'hubby-bubbly'.
Weaning off the city's smoking habits is a good long-term thing. And one thing's for sure, it'll push more innovation in a country that needs an injection of creativity more than ever.

Acer announces C7 Google Chromebook for £199
Undercuts Samsung's equivalent by £30, but it's £75 cheaper for US buyers
TAIWANESE HARDWARE MAKER Acer launched its C7 Google Chomebook for £199 today, undercutting Samsung's equivalent by £30.
Powered by a 1.1GHz Intel Celeron 847 processor with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, the C7 boots up in less than 18 seconds and resumes "nearly instantly" from sleep mode, Acer claims.
With an 11.6in 1366x768 HD display, the C7 has a four cell battery and promises 3.5 hours of battery life. Measuring 285x202x27.5mm, it weighs 1.38kg.
It also has a 320GB hard drive along with three USB 3.0 ports, an SD and MMC card reader and an HDMI port. It will ship with 100GB of free Google Drive storage that's good for two years.
Acer president Jim Wong said the C7 aims to tackle users' needs for enhanced security, quicker online access and an easy-to-use interface. He added that the "affordable price" makes it a good choice for families and students on a budget as well as anyone who wants a new or second mobile PC for web based computing.
However, annoyingly for UK buyers, Acer's C7 is priced at just $199 in the US, meaning that those wanting the laptop over in Blighty have to pay £75 more for nothing.
Acer said its C7 is available now on Amazon and at Currys and PC World's online stores, though we have yet to find the device at either retailer. It is available and in stock at the Google Play store though. µ

OKC punishes bad Lakers
There are days in the long season when guys are working, dealing with the issues at hand, and no one gauges how far away an NBA championship might be.
Then there are days such as Friday.
The defending Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder dropped one epic hammer on the Lakers, who crumpled in a 116-101 defeat and could only look up in pain from the canvas and their first six-game losing streak in six years.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said before this stretch of five games against teams ahead of the Lakers in the West standings that it would dictate a feeling of either "This is getting a little scary" or "We're coming along." The Lakers lost 'em all to the Clippers, Denver, Houston, San Antonio and the Thunder — and now they have only their 20th losing streak of at least six games in franchise history.
D'Antoni said he told the players right after the game: "Our season starts Sunday. We need to make a run."
The Lakers get lightweight Cleveland on Sunday, though one of their low points came in a loss last month to the Cavaliers. Thunder coach Scott Brooks said before the game he still expects to hear from the Lakers this season — if they can get everyone healthy: "Once they get their players back, they're going to be right there."
But sure enough, a couple hours later — just as Thunder star Kevin Durant was getting going on a 42-point night — the Lakers announced top backup big man Jordan Hill is expected to miss the rest of the season because surgery has been recommended on his left hip.
Dwight Howard (shoulder) and Pau Gasol (concussion) figure to be back in the upcoming week after Steve Nash (leg) missed nearly 30 percent of the season, though Howard still hasn't regained his form from before April back surgery.
At 15-21, the Lakers have a long way to go just to be respectable, much less live up to their preseason status as favorites along with the Heat and Thunder to win the championship.
