Above, four more Marilyn Monroe covers of the Danish magazine Billed Bladet, with the first example published after her overdose, declaring that the "myten" may be dead but the "sex-symboliet" will live on. Who says Danish is hard to learn?

We got curious about Nai Bonet, who we'd never heard of until last week, and after taking a stroll around the internet discovered she was pretty famous in her day and even released a 1966 single for which you see the sleeve above. The song is called "Jelly Belly," with "The Seventh Veil" on the flipside. Bonet teaches fans to do her trademark Jelly Belly dance, which we can only imagine led to many sprained backs in mid-century America. But maybe you want to try. The instructions are in like Danish, but here's the gist:
And presumably it's rinse and repeat at that point. For extra inspiration you can hear "Jelly Belly" here. Just remember—if you pull something, rest it, apply ice, and dream up a much better story about your injury than you were trying to get everything a-quivering.

An idyllic scene on the French Riviera is revealed in these three photos, as Danish actress Mirette Stroyberg and her sister Annette Vadim—who was married to director Roger Vadim and had starred in his film Les liaisons dangereuses, aka Dangerous Liaisons—walk on Pampelonne Beach one afternoon in 1959. Remember—the good life is as near as the next sunny day.

Though this fact doesn't seem to be widely known—which is strange for a former Playboy model—Elsa Sørensen died last year aged seventy-nine due to complications from a bicycle accident. She was a former Miss Denmark whose September 1956 bunny mag centerfold brought her to wide notice, however the above image appeared not in Playboy, but in Adam—the U.S. version—in 1960. She graced that publication several times under the pseudonym Dane Arden, and used that for all her non-Playboy modeling assignments. In the 1960 Adam layout her photo was paired with a Robert Browning line about nothing being better than simple, unadorned beauty, and seeing her posed with neither clothes nor props, it's clear why the editors chose that quote.

Whisper features a political figure on this cover from March 1964, namely Indonesian ruler Kusno Sosrodihardjo, later known as Sukarno, who we're told was offered twenty prostitutes while visiting his country's embassy in Copenhagen in 1961. In fact, the magazine goes on to claim that the embassy housed a brothel. Though it sounds like a typical tabloid tall tale, it's actually true. Time magazine had written about it in its October 1963 issue, stating: A diplomat may be only a cookie pusher, but the kind of cookies pushed by Indonesia's charge d'affaires in Copenhagen tumbled, not crumbled. Last week Danish police announced that Gustin Santawirja not only ran his country's embassy, [snip] but was also a procurer on the side. Santawirja got into the tart trade in 1961 when Indonesia's PresidentSukarno showed up in Copenhagen on an unofficial visit. Amiably, he rounded up some girls for the visiting entourage. So successful was the venture that he decided to supplement his entertainment allowance by running a fulltime poule hall. "Poule" is French for "hen," by the way, and Whisper was correct, but it was also late to the party. We give no credit for publishing what was already widely known.
Lastly, Whisper offers up an exposé of Gina Lollobrigida's complicated personal life. For years she had been protesting that she was not a sex symbol (as if she's the one who actually gets to decide that), but rather a nice girl. She tells an interesting story from her early career about Howard Hughes' efforts to romance her, which were fruitless but led to her being stuck in a hotel "for six weeks like a prisoner." In the end, she fled
back to Italy and, because Hughes owned her American contract, she was unable to make movies in the U.S. She became an international star just the same, acting exclusively in Europe, but having attained celebrity claimed it was difficult for her. She complained: "When I am with people I am constantly watched, and I can't get used to this sort of thing—that they look at me as a chimpanzee in a zoo." Sounds bad, but she eventually learned to enjoy it. In 2000 she commented to Parade magazine, "I've had many lovers and still have romances. I am very spoiled." So it seems even the worst parts of celebrities' lives aren't really all that bad. Assorted scans below.

Sometimes we get a little lazy with our scanning. You already know that. A couple of years ago we shared the cover and two pages from an issue of The Lowdown and discussed the murder trial of Dr. Sam Sheppard. In that issue were some other interesting pages, particularly of German actress Elke Sommer. We had made her our very first femme fatale way back, so we always thought she was amazing, but we gained a new appreciation for her after watching her in Deadlier than the Male. Really, scientists should double-check that global warming didn't start in 1967, because that's how hot she is in that movie. Anyway, we realized The Lowdown's photos of Sommer might not have appeared online before, so we decided to take care of that today. What are those naughty secrets about her, you ask? The Lowdown says she was a swinger before she got married.

Above is a photo of Manhattan, New York City, in the year 1947, looking from Battery Park toward midtown. Here you see everything—the Staten Island Ferry Building at bottom, Wall Street to the right, the 59th Street Bridge crossing Welfare Island at upper right, and in the hazy distance, the Empire State Building—at that time arguably America's most recognized symbol. In the aftermath of a war that had destroyed Europe's and Japan's industrial capacity, the U.S. was the unquestioned power on the planet, with massive economic might, a military that had taken up permanent residence in dozens of countries, and a growing stock of nuclear weapons. Two years later the Soviets would detonate their first nuclear bomb, shaking the American edifice to its core. Meanwhile, all around the world, the seeds of change were taking root. Below is a look at the world as it was in 1947.

This January 1954 issue of Whisper tells readers about a stripper named Lola Dewitt Stewart who bit a cop, covers a gala Harlem dance, and exposes the voodoo rites of Haitian virgin priestesses. The issue also contains a profile of Christine Jorgensen, the most famous transsexual of her day. Jorgensen—whose name is misspelled "Jorgenson" by Whisper editors—had been born George Jorgensen and had lived unhappily as a male for twenty-five years. After a stint in the Army, he learned about the possibility of becoming more feminine and started by taking hormones, and later travelled to Copenhagen, Denmark to have his male sex organs removed. At the time, Denmark used castration on sexual criminals, which is why the procedure was legal there. Jorgensen, now female in appearance, returned to the U.S. and New York's Daily News broke her story with one of the most famous headlines in publishing history: Ex-G.I. Becomes Blonde Beauty. Jorgensen parlayed the recognition into a show business career, establishing a blueprint for later transgenders like Coccinelle. Jorgensen finished the last of her reassignment surgeries in the mid-1950s and, now sexually female, continued in show business for many years. She danced in Las Vegas, appeared on The Dick Cavett Show, was voted "Miss Neutral Zone" by American soldiers serving in Korea, and had high-profile romances. Later in her life she reflected that she was proud to have been part of the sexual revolution. "We may not have started it," she said of herself and other transgenders, "but we gave it a good swift kick in the pants."

Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach Court Records
An Erbbuch contains the inheritable properties (Erblehen) of a city/village, their owners, rights and obligations. The Erbbuch is also known as Grundbuch, Erdbuch, Landbuch or Salbuch. An example of an Erbbuch can be viewed at museum-digital. This particular book contains also all villages and their landowning population from 1642 which belonged to the administration of the magistrate in Jerichow.
There are some records available for Thuringia-Sachsen Weimar-Eisenach through familysearch.org, catalog, keyword search: Erbbuch. Films can be ordered through the Family History Centers network.
were concerns re. Flurregelung (allotment regulation). The goal was to eliminate harmful commonly held user and property rights of agricultural land. Separationen made property free of unilaterally and mutually disadvantageous servitudes. It changed the status of the land from commonly held to segregated properties. The goal was to separate the single owner from the community, hence the name separation. Separation could be partial or across the board, depending whether parts of properties were to be eliminated or all property owners were to be relieved of existing conditions. Such actions created altercations and new changes in property owning. When a Separation was a general one, usually new measures for useful roads and water supplies were created. If allotment regulations were in place a better division of allotments through apportion or consolidation according to the interests of property owners took place. The documents kept for such transactions show the names of the participants, the description and size of the property/ies, description of the piece of settlement and the settlement amount.

Saratoga Snacks wins Big A's Alex Robb Stakes
NEW YORK -- Saratoga Snacks, owned by former NFL coach Bill Parcells, won the $73,500 Alex Robb Stakes for New York breds on Wednesday at Aqueduct.
The 3-year-old improved to 5 for 7 with his first stakes victory, leading all the way to beat Socialsaul by one length.
The victory aboard the 4-5 shot marked a successful comeback for jockey Ramon Dominguez, who missed a month with a badly bruised foot. Dominguez will be the leading rider in New York for a fourth straight year despite the time lost to the injury.
The time was 1:45.21 for the 1 1-16 miles.
Saratoga Snacks, trained by Gary Sciacca, paid $3.70, $3.40 and $2.10. Socialsaul returned $9.80 and $2.70 as the longest price at 27-1, while Saginaw paid $2.10 to show.

A pet food manufacturer has bought the collapsed Darrell Lea confectionary business and shut the remaining Darrell Lea stores, resulting in the loss of more than 400 jobs nationwide.
Queensland-based VIP Petfoods, which is owned by the Quinn family, will continue to manufacture and distribute Darrell Lea products for sale through third-party retailers.
An estimated 28 people will lose their jobs when WA's last two Darrell Lea stores, in Booragoon and Midland, close their doors on Sunday.
While administrator PBB Advisory said all outstanding wages and superannuation would be paid in full, sacked staff may need to rely on a Federal Government scheme to secure other entitlements.
An employee at one Perth store said there had been tears among colleagues when they were told of the closures yesterday. "It's quite devastating for some of them," the staff member said.
"They walk in and tell you you no longer have a job but please keep trading until Sunday. It's quite cold.
"We were under the impression that they were trying hard to sell us to somebody who would keep the stores."
PPB Advisory said the retail outlets had been loss-makers for a number of years and did not attract significant interest during the sale.
It said 83 people would be offered jobs in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution operations.
"The result is the best outcome that could have been achieved in these circumstances," PPB Advisory's Mark Robinson said.
VIP Petfood founder Tony Quinn once ran a lawnmowing business in Perth after arriving from Britain with plans to start a signwriting business.
The pet food business has a reported turnover of $300 million and exports worldwide.
"Our company has a strong history of building sustainable Australian-based businesses and it is our aim to do the same with Darrell Lea," a Quinn family spokesman said.
The Lea family, which founded the company, said it had, to the best of its ability, acted to protect the interests of staff, licensees, suppliers and other stakeholders.

2001 Honda Accord
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Bought this to install a Pioneer AVH-X2700BS in a '01 Accord. Fits the car perfectly - mounting was effortless.
Pros: Does exactly what it's supposed to.
Cons: The bezel that surrounds the face plate of the Pioneer AVH-X2700BS has rounded corners while the corners of the deck face plate are square. It fits - but it takes a little finesse to get it centered properly. This is a minor issue though - I'd buy another of these if I needed to do the same install again.

A widget that lets you call in the Jerusalem Post RSS feeds
I had a client that needed the feed to show up on their site. I am in no way employed or even involved with The Jerusalem Post. Nor did they ask me to write this plugin.
That is a good question. All my plugin does is get the feed and displays it, the front page RSS feed has duplicate content sometimes because some articles will appear on home page in multiple sections.
Again, good question. jpost.com's timestamps from the feed are often off, and it isn't a simple timezone issue. Israel is 6 or 7 hours ahead of me, and I have seen timestamps that are 24 hours ahead of the real time. Maybe they schedule new posts in the future on the site and they don't have a filter on the RSS feed and it calls in future posts. :/

iPhone 4: The Missing Manual, Fourth Edition — Covers iPhone 4 & All Other Models with iOS 4 Software
By David Pogue
Publisher: O'Reilly Media / Pogue Press
Continue reading »
With the recent release of the iPhone 4 for Verizon, it's appropriate to alert Verizon iPhone newbies that one of the best all-round iPhone books was, is, and probably will always be, David Pogue's iPhone The Missing Manual. Oddly, the front cover has "missing manual" in lower case letters, but the frontispiece says "Missing Manual." In any event, this stylistic glitch did not prevent me from enjoying this book.

New Rules in Sperm and Egg's Cat-and-Mouse Game
By NATALIE ANGIER
Published: February 27, 2001
Heard the one about why it takes 100 million sperm to fertilize an egg? Because none of them will stop to ask for directions.
An alternative, and more molecularly correct, answer might be: because the egg keeps changing the lines to the yolk.
In a report that makes huevos rancheros of longstanding assumptions about the evolutionary stability, passivity and all-round dullness of the egg, as opposed to the foaming energy and vibrant mutability of the sperm, Dr. Willie J. Swanson of Cornell and his colleagues have shown that three reproductive proteins in the mammalian egg are among the most rapidly evolving molecules found anywhere in the body.
Two of these proteins, called ZP2 and ZP3, are sperm docking parts on the zona pellucida, the lustrously elaborate coat that surrounds the egg and controls passage into the egg's yolky interior, where its chromosomes reside; while the third protein, called oviductal glycoprotein, plays a still-mysterious but clearly critical role in fertilization.
All three molecules are evolving at a panting pace more typically associated with the famed changelings of the immune system than with an operation as basic and universal as the joining of gametes.
The fact that the genes encoding these female reproductive proteins are as mutable as genes designed to keep parasites at bay demonstrates that the relationship between sperm and egg, while essential to the persistence of all sexually reproducing creatures, is nevertheless a fractious one, Mars versus Venus stripped to its molecular skivvies.
''You'd think that the fusion of gametes would be so basic that it would important to conserve'' over evolutionary time, said Dr. Swanson. ''But it turns out that these are among the 10 percent fastest evolving genes in the genome, and they show great specificity from one species to the next.''
Scientists who study the evolution of reproduction had long focused on the male half of the equation, and they had reported evidence that males were under relentless selective pressure to change and adapt, whether in the constituents of their sperm, the volume of their semen, the shapeliness and frilliness of their genitalia or any other masculine attributes, all for the sake of ensuring that their sperm is chosen.
The discovery, which appears in the current issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers the first proof that Darwinian selection drives the evolution of female reproductive proteins as well.
''For a strange set of reasons, some of them technical, some of them not, all the proteins that had been recognized as fast-changing had been male,'' said Dr. Mariana F. Wolfner, another author on the report. ''What's neat about this paper is that it shows that the female proteins keep up with the boys.''
The exact dynamic between the egg proteins and their counterparts on the sperm remain unclear.
Dr. Victor D. Vacquier of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, an expert in reproductive proteins, observes that scientists know a lot more about the nuances of the immune system and the workings of genes generally than they do about the details of fertilization.
Nevertheless, the basic pas de deux is thought to proceed roughly along these lines: The sperm struggles to latch onto the zona pellucida and crack the code of the egg in advance of all the other flagellating contenders; the egg doesn't like being pushed around, it wants to retain control over the terms of fusion, and so -- ha ha! -- it switches the code to its lock; the sperm rather testily adapts its coat to the new password; and so on, over the generations, back and forth, green eggs and spam.
''Just as there's a cat-and-mouse game between a virus and the host's immune system, so there seems to be a cat-and-mouse game between sperm proteins, and proteins in the egg,'' said Dr. Charles F. Aquadro of Cornell, a co-author.
But what purpose does all this cattiness and rattiness serve? The researchers said there were a couple of hypotheses to explain why the sperm and egg have so much trouble seeing eye to eye.
By one theory, the gametes may simply have different ideas about timing. The sperm wants to act fast: to fuse with a docking port on the egg and begin the so-called acrosomal reaction, the little biochemical striptease routine in which it loses its head and worms its way into the cytoplasm.
The trouble with that hasty approach, from the egg's perspective, is that every sperm in the neighborhood has the same sense of urgency, and should more than one sperm manage to get past the zona pellucida -- a condition called polyspermy -- the whole business is lost: no embryo can result, and the egg dies.
So the egg tries to slow things down through a deft and perpetual recasting of its armor. Granted, the overzealous sperm cells would not benefit from polyspermy either, but if each sperm is competing with all the other sperm cells to reach nuclear heaven, and if each is doomed should it fail to fertilize the egg in any case, it simply lacks the discipline, and the evolutionary incentive, to refrain from pushing.

Cute Christmas Troll "Ugly" Holiday Sweater with Style, from my Ugly Holiday Sweater Collection on eBay!
Exploring eBay the other week revealed that there are actually some pretty cute "ugly" Christmas sweaters floating around in the vintage world.
While beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, I believe that "ugly" is actually in the mind of its maker as well: As in, what may seem ugly to you is actually really kick-butt-awesome to me. Just sayin'.
That's why when after coming across not one, or two, or three but 15 (and counting!) cute, conversational Christmas sweaters I decided to curate them into an equally as tongue-in-cheek collection on eBay called Ugly Holiday Sweaters That Are Kind of Cool (Kind Of).
Why the "kind of" in parenthesis after the title? Because again, be it beauty or be it beast, the world we see is the world we create.
Don't forget to check other ugly holiday sweaters on my site, like this post on ugly holiday sweaters I purchased from Goodwill and how to decorate your home with vintage christmas decorations for the holidays. #bam

FDA Advisers Vote Against Approving New Opioid Painkiller
A key government panel Tuesday voted unanimously against approval of a powerful opioid prescription painkiller intended to provide faster relief with fewer side effects.
At the conclusion of a hearing, the Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted 14-0 against recommending that the agency approve Moxduo, the first drug to combine morphine and oxycodone into one capsule.
The committee also voted unanimously that the drug's developer had not proved that Moxduo is less likely to cause potentially life-threatening respiratory suppression than taking morphine or oxycodone alone.
"I certainly wish that there was an opiate that could be counted on to decrease respiratory depression and maybe one day there will be," said Gregory Terman of the University of Washington, one of the committee members.
QRxPharma, the company that developed Moxduo, had argued that the drug would provide fast relief for millions of patients suffering from moderate to severe pain, including accident victims and people undergoing major surgery.
But FDA reviewers raised questions about whether Moxduo provides any benefits over using morphine or oxycodone alone. The FDA's experts disagreed on whether the company's studies show that the drug delivers the intended benefits, which supposedly include better pain relief, fewer side effects or lower risk of life-threatening complications.
Addiction researchers also argued that the drug raises concerns that it could be more easily abused than opioid drugs like Vicodin and Percocet, which could make the nation's epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse even worse.
In a statement, QRxPharma Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer John Holaday said the company was "obviously disappointed" by the vote but remained "confident in the advantages of Moxduo compared to morphine [and remained] committed to bringing to market safer therapies for pain, such as Moxduo, and preventing opioid abuse."
The FDA is not obligated to follow the panel's recommendations, but the agency usually does.

The Democrats Find Some Balls
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) has called a closed Senate session.
In a speech on the Senate floor, Democratic leader Harry Reid said the American people and U.S. troops deserved to know the details of how the United States became engaged in the war, particularly in light of the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff.
Reid demanded the Senate go into closed session. With a second by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the public was ordered out of the chamber, the lights were dimmed, senators filed to their seats on the floor and the doors were closed. No vote is required in such circumstances.
"The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really all about, how this administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions," Reid said before the doors were closed.
It's going to be an ugly November.

have an issue that for .docx files in owa are downloading as a zip file...
anyone help?
have an issue that for .docx files in owa are downloading as a zip file...
anyone help?
Are you using IE8 to access OWA? If so you need to add your OWA site to the trusted site list in IE8 for it to download properly.
Out of the box, IIS6 only accepts requests for known MIME types. Since Office 2007 was released after Windows Server 2003 and IIS6, IIS6 knows nothing about the new MIME types. So you need to manually add them:
Extension MIME Type - .xlsx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
N.B. These MIME types were added to IIS7 as noted in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936496
Instead of determining the file type based on extension (which is the effect of adding the site to the Trusted Sites list), I would suggest fixing the MIME type reported by the server. This can be done by adding the file extensions for the new Office 2007 file types to the Exchange Internet Message Format types list according to the instructions at KB313730, reproduced here:
This should work in all versions of IE, but only for new emails sent since the change has been made - see http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/40890-can-not-open-docx-files-owa.html
I have total administrative control of both the server and the client machine involved with this problem and NONE of these proposed solutions worked for correcting this problem.
In the end, the only thing that FIXED this issue for me was to....
1) uninstall 7-Zip (so the browser has nothing to associate with the zip file)
2) (Not sure if this step is required, but) I then downloaded the DOCX again, (where, coincidentaly, it's still being presented as a ZIP file), however, this time I am prompted for what application to open it with and I choose MSWORD. I don't choose "Always open with MSWORD", because I don't want MSWORD always opening ZIP files.
3) Re-install 7-Zip.
After this, all subsequent attempts to download the DOCX, actually resulted in a DOCX file being download and opened with the appropriate MSWORD application.
NOTE: Before you jump to the conclusion that I simply had a broken file association, let me confirm, that when this problem was occurring, I could double-click on any DOCX in explorer and MSWORD would always open it. This problem was always and only occurring when trying to download/open a DOCX with IE8. FF4 and Chrome both worked flawlessly. I tried adding the proper MIME types to /etc/mime-types and to .htaccess on the server side. I also tried Disabling "Open files based on content, not file extension" (but this only resulted in the browser open the DOCX as unreadable ASCII text), setting the FEATURE_MIME_* registry keys to "0", and adding the server URL to the "Trusted Sites" list. Again, NONE OF THESE SEEMINGLY LOGICAL SOLUTIONS WORKED FOR ME.

One of the men wanted in connection with the shooting of a four-year-old boy was arrested in Tampa late Monday.
Police said Bakari D. Parks, 23, turned himself in to the Hillsborough County Jail just before 11 p.m. Monday and was charged with two counts of attempted first degree murder.
Police said the boy he shot, Renaldo Moore, was caught in the crossfire of a feud between Parks and another man about 11 a.m. Monday, near the North Boulevard Homes apartments.
A bullet caught Moore in the upper arm as he walked with his mother near W Spruce Street and N Oregon Avenue, police said. He was recovering at home Tuesday after being released from the hospital Monday night.
Parks has been arrested nine times in Florida, including charges for burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault. He was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remained Tuesday without bail.

Modders create 3-D server lobby for Minecraft
HighlifeTTU and lazertester, Minecraft modders, have created a Central Lobby System. The full 3-D server browser lobby lets you walk around and explore when choosing a server to join, taking the game even closer to becoming a full MMO.
The mod is essentially a Minecraft world itself that allows players to connect to other worlds but also includes a relaxation lounge, zoned-off PVP brawling areas, other players in the halls talking to each other and reading server description as well as swimming pools. The mod helps bring players together intuitively into a bigger community.
It's only available in the U.S. currently but the team plans to take it to Australia and Europe. Screens and directions of how it works can be found here, courtesy of Games.On.Net.
Minecraft sold 15 million downloads in 2012, with 4.2 million of those in December alone.

The patient resource of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand
The Learning Portal for professionals and handcare specialists
Main resource site for all American Society for Surgery of the Hand members
Tip 1: Start with the basics like "carpal tunnel." You can always add more words later to narrow
down results.
Tip 2: Choose words carefully and avoid terms that do not concern surgery.
Tip 3: Avoid capitalization and conjunctions like "the," "and," "or," or "in." Also, avoid using media types like "video," "article," and "picture."
Tip 4: Your results can be refined by using either the tabs at the top (Video, Articles/WEB, Images, JHS, Products/Vendors), or the filters on the left (Filter by Source, Filter by Format, Filter by Purpose, etc.).
Tip 5: Punctuation can enhance your search as well. Use quotes ("search term") to only include
pages with the same words in the same order. But only use this if you are looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you may exclude helpful results. Add an asterisk (search term*) as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. For example, C*l Tunnel would give you results for Cubital Tunnel and Carpal Tunnel. Place a question mark (search term?) for single-character wildcard matching. For example, pa?ent would give you results for parent, patent, etc. You may also use the plus sign (search + word) between words for words you must have in the results.
Tip 6: We are always trying to improve our search, if you are having any trouble with search please refer to our survey here and we will use your comments to improve our search. You can also watch our search help video.

Skip to comments.On the impossibility of women's ordination in the RCC
Posted on 09/01/2010 11:55:59 AM PDT by NYer
Bookmark and ping!
Of possible interest.
I personally consider gender irrelevant when judging one's qualifications to be a Christian leader, but I respect the RCC's right to its own philosophy and have no desire to protest it. The trouble with choosing to follow an ancient establishment is that you don't get to make the rules, nor does your opinion count. Take it or leave it, but don't embarrass yourself trying to change it.
My problem with most people who advocate female priesthood is that they don't stop at advocating female priesthood.
Great article. I have bookmarked for future reference.
As an aside, I serve on my local archdiocese pastoral council. We recently had a brief discussion on the role of women in the church. The topic was brought up by a gentleman with two daughters, and his complaint was "there's nothing for my girls to do to serve the Church or feel important in the Church" because they can't be priests.
I found it interesting that a man was the one so insistent in discussing this, and he brought it up in a room with women that were nuns, catechists, RCIA instructors, lay Franciscans, lectors, eucharistic ministers, retreat leaders, case sponsors for the tribunal, an officer of the National Catholic Council of women...you know...a bunch of women not serving the Church or doing anything important.
Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Confessional Lutherans are in agreement that WO is contrary to Holy Tradition. The Pope was correct when he stated that the Church does not have the authority to ordain women. All the arguments for the ordination of women are based upon a secular ideology, not upon biblical grounds. In fact, in order to rationalize the acceptance of WO you have to deconstruct Bible and Tradition.
When women are ordinated in the Roman Catholic Church, I will find myself a new Church.
Lol!! That truly is amusing. Reality is staring him in the face and he can't see it. Just curious but do you know if his daughters once served as acolytes?
This article is about the priesthood. Priests are servants, not leaders.
The trouble with choosing to follow an ancient establishment is that you dont get to make the rules, nor does your opinion count. Take it or leave it, but dont embarrass yourself trying to change it.
You are absolutely right. In this instance, the "rules" were established by God, not the Church.
I don't know. My daughter just started altar serving at our parish though and she loves it. And as a matter of record, she feels in no way slighted that being a priest is not in her future. She understands that the priest acts in persona Christi, and she finds the notion of a woman "playing the part" of Jesus ridiculous. She sees it as the equivalent of casting a man in a woman's role in a movie. She doesn't worry about women not being priests any more than she worries about a boy playing the Virgin Mary in a live nativity. LOL!
You have done an excellent job of educating your daughter. Many parents have a very different view of this as one of equality. I have also seen situations where once girls were allowed to serve, boys were no longer interested. Your daughter has a healthy understanding of altar service, thanks to you.
Strange, this is one instance when the Catholic Church — all rites — follow the Bible.
Where are the Bible believers on this? Saying that women can be deacons and priests. Doesn't make sense to me at all.
**Jesus' "exclusion" of women from the priest was culturally based and therefore reformable.**
Shocker! People of the modern era (modernism) know better than Christ/God?
I don't think so.
My original interpretation of your incident was that the man was attempting to garner support from the women in attendance and embarrass those clergy in attendance. This is the usual MO of many of these types.
Oh, where is the priestesses' compassion and empathy for the unborn, then? How about their compassion for children placed for adoption with homosexuals?
I'm not really responding to you, NYer, you just happen to be the person whose name was attached to the "reply" button. I figured I would throw my view on this out, so that it's said and so if I ever forget someone can point this out to remind me. :-D
I consider myself Catholic, but acknowledge that I am not Roman Catholic.
I am not against the ordination of women into the clergy.
I AM, however, against the ordination of women into the clergy of a church that does not allow for the ordination of women.
In other words, the Roman Catholic Church has its reasons for not allowing the ordination of women, and I fully support that. I will always stand by my Roman Catholic peers in this position.
The Anglican Communion (for the most part) does not allow for the ordination of women. I support this.
The Orthodox churches don't do it either, and I stand with them.
The Episcopal Church allows the ordination of women, and even has female Bishops. But the Episcopal church has gone bats#!7 crazy recently, so I'll let them do what they want and focus my attention on something I can actually handle.
I have no problem with women in the clergy. But then, I have no problem with chocolate chip pancakes smothered in chocolate sauce and covered in whipped cream, but I'm sure as hell not going to eat something like that. In other words, let well enough alone and respect that the church has its rules and reasons for its rules, and stop trying to change it!
(I know you aren't trying to change it NYer. I was waxing philosophical, but you probably know that from my other posts.)
Which proved she was more interested in promoting herself as a woman than she was in God.
This isnt about the Priesthood, It is about their feminist views.
I have no problem with women in the clergy.
Can you be more specific about the term 'clergy'? What constitutes clergy and by whose authority do these clergy have the right to lead. This is not a trick question. I am seriously interested in your response.

Here again, I am a bit confused. Although it is not widely known in our Western world, the Catholic Church is actually a communion of Churches. According to the Constitution on the Church of the Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, the Catholic Church is understood to be "a corporate body of Churches," united with the Pope of Rome, who serves as the guardian of unity (LG, no. 23). At present there are 22 Churches that comprise the Catholic Church. The new Code of Canon Law, promulgated by Pope John Paul II, uses the phrase "autonomous ritual Churches" to describe these various Churches (canon 112). Each Church has its own hierarchy, spirituality, and theological perspective. Because of the particularities of history, there is only one Western Catholic Church, while there are 21 Eastern Catholic Churches. The Western Church, known officially as the Latin Church, is the largest of the Catholic Churches. It is immediately subject to the Roman Pontiff as Patriarch of the West. The Eastern Catholic Churches are each led by a Patriarch, Major Archbishop, or Metropolitan, who governs their Church together with a synod of bishops. Through the Congregation for Oriental Churches, the Roman Pontiff works to assure the health and well-being of the Eastern Catholic Churches.
While this diversity within the one Catholic Church can appear confusing at first, it in no way compromises the Church's unity. In a certain sense, it is a reflection of the mystery of the Trinity. Just as God is three Persons, yet one God, so the Church is 22 Churches, yet one Church.
Do you consider yourself a member of any of those 22 Catholic Churches?
respectfully asking for your opinion.....
The Catholic Church allows for married priests but with restrictions. The tradition in the Western or Latin-Rite Church has been for priests as well as bishops to take vows of celibacy, a rule that has been firmly in place since the early Middle Ages. Even today, though, exceptions are made. For example, there are married Latin-Rite priests who are converts from Lutheranism and Episcopalianism. In the Eastern Catholic Churches, the ratio of married to celibate priests is about half.
Akin to the lady (was it buffyD?) here are valid reasons about the orthodox Lutheran opposition to priestesses
And I even proof read my post! Shame for missing bad grammar and a converged sentence.
What I meant was "Yet I would not be "allowed" to take Communion in a Roman Catholic parish. Even still..."
Sorry, and sorry for the double post.
I look forward to having orthodox, traditional Anglican-rite Catholics enriching the Church with their presence.
I don't know if that's me or not. I'm not well versed enough to say for sure.
But I sure try to be a good Catholic. I just fail a lot. Maybe I can get points for effort? :-D
Thank you for the expansion on celibacy as a discipline and the reason why bishops are chosen from the celibate priests. As for a married man becoming a Syro-Malabar priest, that is already a reality - IF - he is a member of that rite. IOW, a Latin Rite married man would have to formally switch rites before entering their seminary.
You may have previously read the comments made by Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Pierre Cardinal Sfeir, as I have posted them to other threads. For the benefit of freeper rface, it might assist in better comprehending the advantages and drawbacks to a married priesthood.
During the 2005 Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist, for example, Cardinal Angelo Scola, Patriarch of Venice, raised the issue of viri probati (tested men), saying that some bishops had put forward the request to ordain married faithful of proven faith and virtue. Bishops from Great Britain and New Zealand supported the idea, arguing that it might encourage additional young men to enter the priesthood.
During the interventions by Eastern-rite bishops, Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir, the Maronite patriarch of Antioch in Lebanon, said that half of his dioceses priests are married.
It must be recognized that if admitting married men resolves one problem, it creates others just as serious, he told the synod members.
The priests duty to care for his wife and children, ensure their education and oversee their entry into society are among the problems Cardinal Sfeir mentioned.
Another difficulty facing a married priest arises if he does not enjoy a good relationship with his parishioners, he said. His bishop cannot transfer him because of the difficulty of transferring his whole family.
Celibacy, in fact, is the most precious jewel in the treasury of the Catholic Church, the cardinal declared, contrasting the practice against an impure culture. How can celibacy be conserved in an atmosphere laden with eroticism? Newspapers, Internet, billboards, shows, everything appears shameless and constantly offends the virtue of chastity.
If Jesus Christ wanted priests to be married, he continued, he would have gotten married himself.
The last statement is by far, the best argument. It is also worth noting that some of the married priest converts to the RC, have also weighed in on this issue. Consider the following.
rface, I hope our combined efforts to respond to your question are helpful. This discussion is as old as christianity ;-)
Thank you for the clarifications on my questions. It makes for a better understanding and dialogue. I will respond more in depth, later today.
A friend of mine (a pastor) would love it, because then he could have someone else deal with women. He requires at least one other person present at all talks with a women.
But that is better handled by having a deaconess anyway.
I pinged you to Buffy because I knew she was, let's put it mildly, exagerating about women in the LCMS. This article answers both the LCMS and the Catholic/Orthodox viewpoint.
Thank you! That was very insightful. I've copied it for future reference :)
I want the Catholic Church to stay just the way I left it.
I have run into people like Buffy. Instead of having their minds conformed to the mind of Christ, they have had their minds transformed by the world. They do not understand the nature of the church.

As a first-hand account of the weird mysteries and horrors of voodoo, Tell My Horse is an invaluable resource and fascinating guide. Based on Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica, where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer of voodoo practices during her visits in the 1930s, this travelogue into a dark world paints a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies and customs and superstitions of great cultural interest.
Author Biography: In her award-winning autobiography, Dust Trackson a Road (1942), Zora Neale Hurston claimed to have been born inEatonville, Florida, in 1901. She was, in fact, born in Notasulga, Alabama, onJanuary 7, 1891, the fifth child of John Hurston (farmer, carpenter, and Baptistpreacher) and Lucy Ann Potts (school teacher). The author of numerous books,including Their Eyes Were Watching God, Jonah's Gourd Vine, Mulesand Men, and Moses, Man of the Mountain, Hurston had achieved fameand sparked controversy as a novelist, anthropologist, outspoken essayist,lecturer, and theatrical producer during her sixty-nine years. Hurston's finestwork of fiction appeared at a time when artistic and politicalstatementswhether single sentences or book-length fictionswere peculiarlyconflated. Many works of fiction were informed by purely political motives;political pronouncements frequently appeared in polished literary prose. AndHurston's own political statements, relating to racial issues or addressingnational politics, did not ingratiate her with her black male contemporaries.The end result was that Their Eyes Were Watching God went out of printnot long after itsfirst appearance and remained out of print for nearly thirtyyears. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has been one among many to ask: "How couldthe recipient of two Guggenheims and the author of four novels, a dozen shortstories, two musicals, two books on black mythology, dozens of essays, and aprizewinning autobiography virtually 'disappear' from her readership for threefull decades?"
That question remains unanswered. The fact remains thatevery one of Hurston's books went quickly out of print; and it was only throughthe determined efforts, in the 1970s, of Alice Walker, Robert Hemenway (Hurston'sbiographer), Toni Cade Bambara, and other writers and scholars that all of herbooks are now back in print and that she has taken her rightful place in thepantheon of American authors.
In 1973, Walker, distressed that Hurston's writings hadbeen all but forgotten, found Hurston's grave in the Garden of Heavenly Rest andinstalled a gravemarker. "After loving and teaching her work for a numberof years," Walker later reported, "I could not bear that she did nothave a known grave." The gravemarker now bears the words that Walker hadinscribed there:
In Brief
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist whose fictional and factual accounts of black heritage are unparalleled. She Is the author of many books, including Their Eyes Were Watching God, Dust Tracks on a Road, Tell My Horse, and Mules and Men.

Tell My Horse
Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica
Chapter One
The Rooster's Nest
Jamaica, British West Indies, has something else besides its mountains of majesty and its quick, green valleys. Jamaica has its moments when the land, as in St. Mary's, thrusts out its sensuous bosom to the sea. Jamaica has its "bush." That is, the island has more usable plants for medicinal and edible purposes than any other spot on earth. Jamaica has its Norman W. Manley, that brilliant young barrister who looks like the younger Pitt in yellow skin, and who can do as much with a jury as Darrow or Liebowitz ever did. The island has its craze among the peasants known as Pocomania, which looks as if it might be translated into "a little crazy." But Brother Levi says it means "something out of nothing." It is important to a great number of people in Jamaica, so perhaps we ought to peep in on it a while.
The two greatest leaders of the cult in Jamaica are Mother Saul, who is the most regal woman since Sheba went to see Solomon, and Brother Levi, who is a scrontous-looking man himself.
Brother Levi said that this cult all started in a joke but worked on into something important. It was "dry" Pocomania when it began. Then it got "spirit" in it and "wet." What with the music and the barbaric rituals, I became interested and took up around the place. I witnessed a wonderful ceremony with candles. I asked Brother Levi why this ceremony and he said, "We hold candle march after Joseph. Joseph came from cave where Christ was born in the manger with a candle. He was walking before Mary and her baby. You know Christ was not born in the manger. Maryand Joseph were too afraid for that. He Was born in a cave and He never came out until He was six months old. The three wise men see the star but they can't find Him because He is hid in cave. When they can't find Him after six months, they make a magic ceremony and the angel come tell Joseph the men wanted to see Him. That day was called 'Christ must day' because it means 'Christ must find today,' so we have Christmas day, but the majority of people are ignorant. They think Him born that day."
I went to the various "tables" set in Pocomania, which boils down to a mixture of African obeah and Christianity enlivened by very beautiful singing. I went to a "Sun Dial" -- that is a ceremony around the clock (24 hours long). The place was decorated from the gate in, with braided palm fronds and quacca bush. Inside the temple, the wall behind the altar was papered with newspapers.
There, the ceremony was in the open air. A long table covered with white. Under this table, on the ground, lighted candles to attract the spirits. There was a mysterious bottle which guaranteed "the spirit come." The Shepherd entered followed by the Sword Boy, carrying a wooden sword. After him came the Symbol Boy with a cross, chanting. Then came the Unter Boy with a supple jack, a switch very much like a rattan cane in his hand. During the ceremony he flogged those who were "not in spirit" that is, those who sat still. They are said to "cramp" the others who are in spirit. The Governess followed the Unter Boy. She has charge of all the women, but otherwise she functions something like the Mambo of Haiti. She aids the Shepherd and generally fires the meeting by leading the songs and whipping up the crowd. There followed then the Shepherd Boy who is the "armor-bearer" to the Shepherd.
Their ceremony is exciting at times with singing, marching, baptisms at sacred pools in the yard. Miraculous "cures" (Mother Saul actually sat down upon a screaming Chinese boy to cure him of insanity); and the dancing about the tables with that tremendous exhalation of the breath to set the rhythm. That is the most characteristic thing of the whole ceremony. That dancing about the lighted candle pattern on the ground and that way of making a rhythmic instrument and of the breathing apparatus -- such is Pocomania, but what I have discussed certainly is not all of it.
These "Balm yards" are deep in the lives of the Jamaican peasants. A Balm Yard is a place where they give baths, and the people who operate these yards are to their followers both doctor and priest. Sometimes he or she diagnoses a case as a natural ailment, and a bath or series of baths in infusions of secret plants is prescribed. More often the diagnosis is that the patient has been "hurt" by a duppy, and the bath is given to drive the spirit off. The Balm Yard with a reputation is never lacking for business. These anonymous rulers of the common people have decreed certain rules and regulations for events in life that are rigidly adhered to. For instance the customs about birth and death. The childbed and the person of the newborn baby must be protected from the dead by marks made with bluing. When it is moved from this room, the open Bible must precede it to keep off the duppies, and so on.
Tables are usually set because something for which a ceremony has been performed is accomplished. The grateful recipient of favor from the gods then sets a table of thanksgiving. No one except the heads of the Balm Yard and the supplicants are told what it is for. Most of the country products are served with plenty of raw rum. The first and most important thing is a small piece of bread in a small glass of water as a symbol of plenty.
And then Jamaica has its social viewpoints and stratifications which influence so seriously its economic direction.Tell My Horse

The book looks like the guy is going to kill his horse
