Self conscious :/ vent
~ Baby Boy due 2/2/13 ~
I was going to post something similar. Though, I've never battled any eating disorders... it's still very hard. I was looking in the mirror earlier, just before I jumped in the shower. So I was naked. I can't get over how weird I look! My boobs used to be absolutely perfect. I'm serious... they were just about the only thing I ever liked on my body. Now, they look kind of floppy bags of sand with burnt pancakes on them! I've always had a little bit of pudge and love handles... Add the weird bump, tiny butt and I feel like a freak show. I know i'm carrying a life inside of me, and it's healthy to look this way, but I just can't get over the feelings of disgust when I look at myself.
So, I suppose I don't have any advice for you, since i'm in the same boat. I wish I did though. If you get any good responses, feel free to PM me.
Oh yeah. AND Most of our babies don't even weigh 1 pound yet. If I can't handle how I look now, what will I feel with a baby 7-8x the size it is now inside me? It's inconceivable!
when i feel sad about how big i am i look at baby pictures of DH and myself and try and imaging how out little boy will look. or i look at how many days are left, or even look up facts about baby's development. it makes me feel better to take the focus off of me and put it onto the baby.
I don't really know what advice I can give to you. I feel this way at times to. You just have to embrace it and have fun with it. Don't let it get you down. Buy a new outfit for your growing belly that shows it off in a cute way maybe that will help.

Tom Ridge Claimed "I'm Not a Lobbyist" on Colbert Report, But The Facts Prove Otherwise
Steve Horn | June 13, 2011
By Steve Horn • Monday, June 13, 2011 - 14:20
Tom Ridge, on the Thursday, June 9 edition of the Colbert Report, claimed he is "not a lobbyist." A quick glance at his resume shows that nothing could be further from the truth.
Ridge, now 65 years-old, has worn multiple hats throughout his extensive political career. Among them: first ever head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Bush Administration from 2003-2005, former Governor of Pennsylvania from 1995-2001, and former Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from from 1983-1995.
Upon leaving the DHS in 2005, Ridge commenced his career as a lobbyist, opening a lobby shop known as Ridge Global, located in Washington, D.C, an entity he still currently heads. Beyond this stint, though, Ridge is also a paid "consultant" (a.k.a. lobbyist) for the Marcellus Shale Coaltion. This Coalition is a "trade association" in disguise, for in reality it is a gas industry-funded lobbying organization.
That aside, one must look no further than the Pennsylvania Department of State's lobbyist registry for the real smoking gun evidence. (See attached lobbying disclosure for Tom Ridge.)

I have two.
1. I have a water strider as a pet! So pretty!
I wonder if it does the same gloriously melodramic death dance as the ones roaming the wild? I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be wondering that about a beloved pet that puts its wing/fins/leg/things on the line for me. Bad hunter, bad.
2. The melee hunter dream is not dead. Rejoice!
Blizzard loves melee hunters. How do I know? Easy. The Mystery of Infinite sees a Future!Me summoned to help defend the Hourglass of Eternity. Future!Minona is a melee hunter through and through, and the only logical conclusion I can draw from that is that Blizzard will slowly move hunters entirely melee over the next few expansions.

Off-Campus Dining:
lots of chain fast food. typical fast food places papa johns dominos, MC D's burger king sonic, taco bell, subway, long john silvers, hardees, dairy queen, pizza hut. there are two pizza huts and two mc donalds and two subways though. MC D's is open 24/7 and Taco Bell is the only other place open late, closing at 3 on the weekends and 2 during the week i think..so you get a lot of long lines running through the two on friday and saturday nights. there isnt much other than that, Nurachi's is good (Mongolian) there are 3 mexican restaurants that are good and half dollar margarita specials, a couple chinese resturants, greek gyros place, paliagas pizza, bellechinos, jimmy johns, steves garden deli, bonzai (sushi place), rosie's cafe, donut palace, colton's steak house, and ruby tuesday
Off-Campus Dining:
Honestly, I have no clue how many differnt options there are. I suspect there are at least 30 different restaurants in the area, so there is a wide variety.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are some nice places for fancy dinners or cheap late night meals. Rosies and Diner 54 offer good diner food for the whole family. They are close and low cost.
Off-Campus Dining:
Off-campus dinning is mostly fast food, Mexican, and Chinese, but there are a few local places too that are really nice. The hours can be weird—most places are closed only on Sunday when the dinning halls are closed—but otherwise, there's some good food for good prices.
Off-Campus Dining:
I don't go off-campus for food very often. Most of it is fast food - McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell. There are a few local places, but I haven't really tried them out yet.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
If a wide selection of exciting eating establishments is going to make or break your college choice, Truman probably is not for you. The only sushi or couscous you'll find is in the ethnic foods aisle at Walmart, where the chimichangas and the crab rangoon are delicious and kind on your wallet, as well. On the bright side, when you only have 15 potential off-campus choices, decisions become much easier.
Students are very protective of their off-campus dining preferences, and each of the Mexican and Chinese restaurants have devoted, vocal factions. And for a campus surrounded by pastures and pumpkins, the restaurants are nothing to shake a stick at. There's really nowhere to go wrong—every establishment serves plentiful and fine-tasting meals, and all are within close proximity to the University. Thousand Hills State Park Dining Lodge is the farthest from campus, but it is still less than a five-mile drive. With so much in easy distance, it's no wonder that half of the student body contentedly lives off campus. Plus, after weeks of Sodexo campus food, nothing tastes better than chips and queso dip or cashew chicken.

Judge for the qualifying rounds: Phil Gladwin

He also did long periods of development script editing for the BBC and World Productions, a multiple BAFTA-winning indie production house.

The Screenwriting Goldmine competition is the only screenwriting contest that has produced tangible results for me. I would encourage any up-and-coming writer to enter it.

"I was very impressed with the entire process from the selection, to the pricing, to the customer service, to the quality! If I could, I would buy all my wedding stuff from this company (beyond paper items!) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We used a lot of colorful pictures from our engagement shoot so our guests were blown away even with the standard finishing of the invite. We also added a photo on the back so it became a keep sake for many."
"The designer of the card was great. They reworked the spacing because my information was a lot more than the sample. They were really able to make the card feel like it was made for my wedding"
"I ordered these in the color "aloe". They look so beautiful in person! They have a pearl finish, which you can't see on the computer, but it adds such an extra element of class. I redesigned the back of the RSVP cards so that they were largely the aloe color instead of so much black, and they made the changes for me quickly and so beautifully! Very easy process, with a stunning end result."
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."

As a dog lover I was fascinated by the Tuesday letter where the writer was complaining about The Herald printing a story about a dog being brought back from Afghanistan to Everett and complaining about dogs in general. Frankly, with all the bad news on the front pages of our newspapers, I'm glad to see a heart-warming human interest story on the front pages once in awhile.
I guess this letter writer is unaware of the service that dogs all over the world provide to mankind, i.e., bomb-sniffing dogs at airports, drug-sniffing dogs at our borders, dogs that serve on the front lines of wars where they are wounded and even killed protecting our soldiers, dogs that aid and protect our law enforcement men and women, service dogs that help the seeing and hearing impaired and those with other health challenges, dogs that provide love and companionship (and protection) for families, those living alone and people in hospitals and care facilities. I could go on.
I don't expect everyone to be a dog lover and irresponsible pet owners need to be held accountable for the damage or injuries that their pets cause but the benefit to humankind these animals provide far outweighs the occasional negative problems that may arise.

A Prayer for Owen Meany
by John Irving
A Prayer for Owen Meany Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
It was Owen who introduced me to Wall's History of Gravesend, although I didn't read the whole book until I was a senior at Gravesend Academy, where the tome was required as a part of a town history project; Owen read it before he was ten. He told me that the book was FULL OF WHEELWRIGHTS. (1.51)
The Wheelwrights play a prominent role in the history of Gravesend. This gives them a certain quality of being regal and important. This is their town (well, at least as far as Harriet is concerned).
Quote #2
Delivery boys and guests in the house frequently mistook Lydia for my grandmother, because Lydia looked quite regal in her wheelchair and she was about my grandmother's age; she had tea with my grandmother every afternoon, and she played cards with my grandmother's bridge club—with those very same ladies whose tea she had once fetched. Shortly before Lydia died, even my Aunt Martha was struck by the resemblance Lydia bore to my grandmother. Yet to various guests and delivery boys, Lydia would always say—with a certain indignation of tone that was borrowed from my grandmother—"I am not Missus Wheelwright, I am Missus Wheelwright's former maid." It was exactly in the manner that Grandmother would claim that her house was not the Gravesend Inn. (1.73)
The relationship between Lydia and Harriet is really interesting, largely because it gives us a close look at how deeply rooted class identity is among the older generation in Gravesend. Harriet and Lydia are totally besties – Lydia even sticks around and lives with Harriet after she can't work as a maid anymore. Still, Lydia seems to be really aware of what her place in society is in relation to her former boss.
Quote #3
The Meanys, in my grandmother's lexicon, were not Mayflower stock. They were not descended from the founding fathers; you could not trace a Meany back to John Adams. They were descended from later immigrants; they were Boston Irish. The Meanys made their move to New Hampshire from Boston, which was never England; they'd also lived in Concord, New Hampshire, and in Barre, Vermont—those were much more working-class places than Gravesend. Those were New England's true granite kingdoms. My grandmother believed that mining and quarrying, of all kinds, was groveling work—and that quarries and miners were more closely related to moles than to men. As for the Meanys: none of the family was especially small, except for Owen. (1.91)
The Wheelwrights are like town royalty because they can trace their roots back to the founding fathers; there's a place for their family in the history books (literally). The Meanys, on the other hand, are working-class folk. Their background shows that, in terms of social status, moving to Gravesend is a step up from their roots. For the Wheelwrights, it's all they've ever known.

By Alexandra Frank, Special to USAG Vicenza Public AffairsDecember 16, 2013
VICENZA, Italy - The video communications class at Vicenza High School created a video to help integrate new students into the Vicenza Military Community, and their produc¬tion has been selected as an award winner by the Military Child Education Coalition.
Under the direction of computer science and math teacher Karen Drake, and as part of their first big assign¬ment of the year, the computer class students created a video for the Student to Student program, known as S2S, which is designed to welcome all new students to Vicenza.
S2S organizes tours at least twice a year to introduce new students to some of the historical artifacts the city has to offer, and assigns partner students to new arrivals to help them through their adjustment to life in Vicenza.
One aim of the video was to portray different aspects of being a student moving into not only a new school, but an entirely new country. New VHS students who view the video will see negative and positive aspects of life at VHS portrayed.
On the positive side, the video addresses the benefits of living in such a diverse community. VHS is made up of students who are both American and Italian, and there are also students from other countries around the world. The educational experience of being surrounded by the differ¬ent cultures is not something students find in many other high schools. Another benefit depicted is the vast array of food in Italy, from delicious pastas to decedent desserts.
While the makers of the film wanted to portray a lot of the benefits of living overseas, they also depicted the challenges that come with the move. Two of the more difficult challenges that new students face, as shown in the video, are coming to terms with being homesick and learning to master the use of another currency.
Junior Mario Molina said he believes that while it may take a while to adapt to the new surroundings and new people, in the end it is a great opportunity. "I enjoy living in Italy, but I still look forward to my visits to the States to see my family," said Molina.
Making the video not only provides a helpful too for the incoming students who will view it, it was also a great op¬portunity for the apprentice videographers to improve their skills with Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the standard software programs used by professionals and amateurs alike. Many students in Drake's class said they have an interest in some sort of multimedia career in the future.
"Working on this project helped me improve my aware¬ness of the angles I use when shooting images and which are best," said senior Gabby Moore.
Sarah Weston, an Italian-American student who is active in the VHS S2S program, said she has seen many stu¬dents come through the school. Weston said she feels the video is a great way to reach out to new students and give them an introduction to what they should expect before meeting and discussing their overseas move with their designated S2S partners.
In its selection of the VHS video for recognition, the MCEC cited its accurate portrayal of the military child's move overseas. The MCEC will make a $500 donation to the S2S to further its activities, and the video is presently being shown at both VHS and Vicenza Middle School.

What Made SRK-Salman End Their Fight?
What could be a better news than superstars Shahrukh and Salman Khan finally ending their six years old rivalry. Sounds unbelievable! Right? But, it was indeed a miracle that happened on Sunday (21st July) evening at Mumbai's Iftar party. Now we and the Khan fans wonder how did this miracle actually happened?
Reportedly, MLA Baba Siddique hosted an Iftar party in Mumbai on Sunday evening, which was attended by two of the biggest rivals of the tinselville- Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. It happened so that Salman hugged SRK at the party, by ending their decade old rivalry. Witnessing this, a thrilled Siddique said that he wishes that Shahrukh and Salman's friendship stays forever. "Maybe they wanted to do so, thats why they did. I have known both of them for years," Siddique told a leading daily.
What could be the possible reasons behind this sudden patch up? It might have happened that the duo actors thought that they have had enough of fights, hence they chose to shake hands like gentlemen. Else, did Baba Siddique played the peacemaker between the duo? It might have also happened that SRK and Salman wanted to surprise their fans by hugging each other! We wonder if another Karan-Arjun is in the pipeline! What you think guys?

From an early age, Brauner was fascinated by the occult, alchemy, magic, and the tarot; his father was an avid spiritualist, and young Brauner was witness to many séances during his childhood in Romania. His interest in the subconscious was stoked in the 1930s when he settled in Paris in the same building as Alberto Giacometti, and became an active member of the city's Surrealist circle. At the outbreak of war, Brauner fled to the South of France, and continued to make work using only the most meager means. Sidney Janis, art dealer and former owner of this work, said Brauner "told me that he had painted these pictures in tallow from the candles that he was supplied when he was in the Resistance. He was underground and instead of burning his candles he used it as artistic material."

Why would you memorize pi? The whole point of having pi is so you don't have to write the number down every time you want the circumference of a circle or whatever.
Redundancy, thy name is memorizing pi.

In response to the criticism aimed at the massive weight of the first edition, the editors have split the 2219 pages of the second edition of the "Mayo Clinic textbook" into two volumes, which are still only slightly less bulky than some of the single-volume cardiology texts on the market. The edition is handsome, with excellent though sometimes diminutive figures, but the small print is near the limits of comfortable reading and is somewhat of an eyestrain when it comes to tables and legends. For a textbook, this is not a major drawback.
Common to all multiauthor texts is a gap of two to three years separating the publication date from the dates of the most recent references. The time lag and constraints of space make it impossible for any textbook to provide as much detailed, up-to-date information on a particular subject as a recent comprehensive review article or a

Hi all,
I'm looking for some quick help. I'm looking to place a block of text in the exact same place as shown in the navigation area which states "You are here: Home / Cookies / Monster Cookies" but displays only on the home page and not on any archives, posts or pages. See this page to see what I mean: http://www.sweet2eatbaking.com/monster-cookies/
I'm a complete newbie to php coding and am using a plugin by Genesis (Simple Hooks) to achieve this. I've found the right area in which to place my HTML code but I don't know how to make it show only on the home page. I found this WordPress information (http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags) but when applying it, I think I'm doing something wrong.
I just want some HTML code to welcome any users that land on my homepage with some social networking things. Something along the lines of...
<?php is_home(); ?>

Welcome to Sweet 2 Eat Baking. If you are new here, you might like to subscribe to our RSS Feed or get sugar filled e-mails! You'll be the first to get updates! You can also find me over at Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. You can also read more about me here. Happy baking!

If I enter the above in, it displays just fine but shows on every page. What am I doing wrong? I'm assuming its either because..
1). I've not closed the php tag? I don't know any php therefore I don't know what I'm doing at all with that.
2). I'm using the wrong code from the conditional tags page. Which tag or code would I use to ensure that my HTML only displays on just the homepage of my site?
Thanks in advance,

Posted on 12/14/2004 1:55:17 PM PST by Salvation
|True Food and True Drink
|Dear Grace, Some of my friends have questioned me about why and how I can believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Host which we receive at Communion in Mass. Sometimes I am not sure exactly how to explain it well enough so that it will be understood. Can you help?
It is true that some people consider the Catholic Churchs belief about the Eucharist to be totally unbelievable and almost outrageous. Catholics actually believe that when a priest, during the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass, repeats the words of Jesus at the Last Supper over the bread and wine, they really do become the Body and Blood of the Lord Himself. How can this be? Where did the Church get this idea? The simple answer would be that we believe it because Jesus said it, and this Word of His is transmitted to us in various ways.
Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.
The eating of human flesh and drinking human blood was anathema to the Jews, and Christ's teaching repulsed some of them, who had no glimmer of understanding of Christ.
If I'm not mistaken, the translation of one of verbs in the John gospel actually means "munch" more than it means "eat."
**I am the bread of life, he said (Jn 6: 35). I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world (Jn 6: 51).**
"Catholics actually believe that when a priest, during the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass, repeats the words of Jesus at the Last Supper over the bread and wine, they really do become the Body and Blood of the Lord Himself. "
Not ALL Catholics. I know, I know - this makes them CINOS, but they still think of themselves as 'Catholic'. I've had many an argument that this is actually the 'official' Church doctrine - TransSubstantiation - and still got arguments that 'No, it's just symbolic'. To which I'd reply - "Then you're not Catholic".
Meditation on Jesus in the Eucharist
Oh my Lord,
I see you there, o Jesus,
in the form of bread,
so fragile,
so vunerable,
You, at whose name every knee will bow,
You, who sit at the right hand of the Father,
and yet are willing to come here,
feed us,
share with us,
wait with us.
You let yourself be broken
every day
for love of us.
Lord God,
Lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world,
yet to save our souls,
you feed us
with yourself.
O my hidden Jesus,
such a limitless love!
I weep with joy and sorrow,
I cringe with shame
but arise with wonder
that someone
would care so much,
would do so much
for someone
nowhere near worthy!
One of the "hard teachings." ;-D
I had a discussion once with some friends who understood everything about me except my Catholic beliefs.
"The Bible says, 'call no man father' so how can you address a priest that way?" they asked. They thought they had me on the spot.
"I'll answer that after you tell me what Christ meant when He said, 'my body is real food and my blood is real drink.'" I answered. "And explain to me what the keys to the kingdom, given to Peter, were."
They didn't follow up.
I think we need to keep praying for a little bit more (or a lot LOL!) of enlightenment for these CUNOs.
Lord have mercy on us!
Good questions!
"As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me" (John 6:57). The Greek word used for "eats" (trogon) is very blunt and has the sense of "chewing" or "gnawing."
What a fabulous image that accompanies this article!
Anyone know how to make it bigger?
Thank you for that information.
Sadly, many catholics are poorly catechized or not at all. I've met adults who recall making First Communion but received no further instruction after that.
The next time some of your catholic friends make this comment, share these comments of the first christians with them.
What Did the First Christians Say?
Ignatius of Antioch, who had been a disciple of the apostle John and who wrote a letter to the Smyrnaeans about A.D. 110, said, referring to "those who hold heterodox opinions," that "they abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again" (6:2, 7:1).
Forty years later, Justin Martyr, wrote, "Not as common bread or common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nourished, . . . is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" (First Apology 66:120).
Origen, in a homily written about A.D. 244, attested to belief in the Real Presence. "I wish to admonish you with examples from your religion. You are accustomed to take part in the divine mysteries, so you know how, when you have received the Body of the Lord, you reverently exercise every care lest a particle of it fall and lest anything of the consecrated gift perish. You account yourselves guilty, and rightly do you so believe, if any of it be lost through negligence" (Homilies on Exodus 13:3).
Cyril of Jerusalem, in a catechetical lecture presented in the mid-300s, said, "Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Masters declaration, the body and blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm. Do not judge in this matter by taste, but be fully assured by faith, not doubting that you have been deemed worthy
of the body and blood of Christ" (Catechetical Discourses: Mystagogic 4:22:9).
In a fifth-century homily, Theodore of Mopsuestia seemed to be speaking to todays Evangelicals and Fundamentalists: "When [Christ] gave the bread he did not say, This is the symbol of my body, but, This is my body. In the same way, when he gave the cup of his blood he did not say, This is the symbol of my blood, but, This is my blood, for he wanted us to look upon the [Eucharistic elements], after their reception of grace and the coming of the Holy Spirit, not according to their nature, but to receive them as they are, the body and blood of our Lord" (Catechetical Homilies 5:1).
>>"Then you're not Catholic".<<
God Bless You!
We are one body with Jesus. Perhaps in the same sense that a baby and its mother are one. That is how the baby survives. Jesus helps us to survive in this life until we are reborn in the eternal life.
As a result, those listening questioned his meaning. Jesus then reiterated, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day." (Jn 6:54 NAB)
"As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him." (Jn 6:66 NAB)
Notice when you read this chapter, Jesus did not call those disciples back and say, "No, no, what I really meant was..."
When Jesus spoke, he meant what he said. So, how do we receive the flesh and blood of Jesus that he commanded we eat?
">>"Then you're not Catholic".<<
God Bless You!"
LOL! It's this comment that causes the huge argument that follows!!
Karl Keating often points out that this is the only place in the Gospels where any disciples leave Him over a doctrinal issue.
Merry Christmas.
Eucharist: From the Greek word, eucharistein (yoo kar is TAIN), "to give thanks": to the Heavenly Father for giving us the Divine Son, Jesus, for salvation and for the Eucharist Itself, in which we meet Jesus again.
It is a great image and no, I don't know how to make it larger. But you might check HTML Sandbox ( a thread here)
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord
until he comes. -- 1 Cor 11:26
The Year of the Eucharist
What is the Year of the Eucharist?
From time to time the Vatican designates a particular year for the Church to devote herself especially to celebrating some important aspect of the Catholic faith. Following in this tradition, Pope John Paul II announced a Year of the Eucharist on the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) in June 2004.
The year begins with the World Eucharistic Congress, October 1017, 2004, in Guadalajara, Mexico. It ends with the ordinary assembly of the Synod of Bishops held in the Vatican October 229, 2005. The theme of the synod is The Eucharist: Source and Summit of the Life and Mission of the Church.
In this extended celebration, all Catholics are called to honor Gods gift of the Eucharist, to receive it more faithfully, and to reflect more deeply on its meaning in their lives and in the life of the Church.
-- from How to Celebrate the Year of the Eucharist (pamphlet) by Paul Thigpen.
Excerpt from Why is That in Tradition?
by Patrick Madrid
14. The Eucharistic Liturgy
The Catholic term "Liturgy" derives from the Greek word leitourgia, which means "a public duty" or "a public action?" This meaning took on a religious connotation in regard to the public ministrations of the Old Testament priests in the Temple (cf. Exodus 38:27, 39:12; Joel 1:9, 2:17; where the term leitourgeo is used in the Greek, Septuagint, version). The ancient Tradition of the Liturgy has been taught and believed by Christians since the days of Christ. Latin Rite Catholics are accustomed to referring to it as the "Mass," while Eastern Catholics call it the "Divine Liturgy." Both refer to the same doctrine.
Since the night Christ was betrayed, the Catholic Church has been celebrating the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This is part of Sacred Tradition, a revealed doctrine of the Faith that came from Christ himself and was preached and taught by the Apostles and their successors from the earliest days of the Church. About the year 56, St. Paul wrote about this Tradition and of how important it was to the life of the Church:
"I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions,63 just as I handed them on to you. . . ."
For the first few centuries, the Eucharistic Liturgy was not a formally codified ritual as we know it today, though it was universally celebrated in the East and West with its essential elements and according to the particular meaning the Catholic Church has always understood it to contain: the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross, re-presented in time and space.
The Catechism explains the Churchs meaning when it refers to the Churchs Tradition of the Eucharistic Liturgy, defining it to mean:
An action of thanksgiving to God (CCC 1328);
The Lords Supper (CCC 1329; cf. 1 Corinthians 11:20; Revelation 19:9);
The Breaking of Bread (CCC 1329; cf. Matthew 14:19,15:36,26:26; Mark 8:6, 19.);
The Eucharistic assembly (CCC 1329; cf. 1 Corinthians 11:17-34);
The memorial of the Lords Passion and Resurrection (CCC 1330);
A Holy Sacrifice (CCC 1330; cf. Hebrews 13:15; cf. 1 Peter 2:5; Psalm116:13, 17; Malachi 1:11);
The Holy and Divine Liturgy;
Holy Communion (CCC 1331; cf. 1 Corinthians 10: 16-17);
Holy Mass (CCC 1332).
From these explanatory sections from the Catechism, we can see the essential elements of the Tradition of the Eucharistic Liturgy. This has been an ever-present, ubiquitous Tradition in the Church since the time of Christ and the Apostles. What makes this Tradition so powerful when a Catholic dialogues with Protestants is that it is undeniable that the early Christians did not gather for a "Sunday service," as Protestants typically understand the term. Rather, the early Christians gathered together to celebrate the Eucharistic sacrifice, complete with the essential prayers and gestures we use today in the Catholic Church (as well as in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches).

Oh, Coleus...
Thanks for trying. I liked the image so much I was hoping to get a clear picture of it so I could try to recreate it in order to embroider it on my youngest kid's Communion banner for next year.
I'll have to wing it now....hope my inner artiste is up to the challenge!
I hope you have a merry and blessed Christmas as well! Thank you!
"dissenting members of the Church are not an authority".
Well, no kidding.
But......BUT their views are being rehashed over and over again in catechetical texts! Sure, the press companies and their wares have the conformity with the catechism monicker on the cover, or the press copyright page, by the USCCB. As if we can totally trust the USCCB??? Uh, I don't think so.
If you want examples you need go no further than any "Catholic Update" (St. Anthony Messenger Press) which focuses on the Holy Eucharist. Over and over again the focus of "The Real Presence" is the people (to refute that idea see CCC 1373 and Sacrosanctum Concilium 7).
These "Catholic Updates" are used not only in religious ed., but also RCIA. They are nothing more than the "New Age" movement revisited.
Even Archbishop Hughes said, after reviewing 25 catechetical texts they were "lacking doctrinally":
The U.S. bishops Committee on Catechesis has begun work on four projects to benefit the American church, said its chairman, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein of Indianapolis. Areas to be covered in the committees work are education in human sexuality, the education and formation of catechists and catechetical leadership, the development of doctrinal guidelines for high school-level catechetical instruction and a project to outline key doctrinal elements in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Archbishop Alfred C. Hughes of New Orleans said the ad hoc committee had reviewed 25 high school catechetical texts since mid-2001 and found most of them lacking in key doctrinal areas."
(uh, fond this on a Google search in America magazine.......not exactly "in conformity" with the bishops is this magazine).
I suggest a search for these findings more thoroughly and get an opinion from a different website.
The PRE-DOMINANT way the "Real Presence" is being presented today is "in the assembly". Many "powers-that-be" DO NOT want to "go back" to the days of "coookie worship". After all, the will say, "The Eucharist is not confected to display in some baroque monstrance." Uh-huh. I guess this is why JPII is hammering Eucharistic Adoration so hard these days (see Ecclesia de Eucharistia #10, and The Year of the Eucharist #18).
Suggested reading to research bad catechesis which is still going on in religious ed. circles in the Church:
"Catechisms and Controversies" by Msgr Michael Wrenn and "Flawed Expectations" by the same author with Kenneth Whitehead (both printed by Ignatius Press). Also "In the Presence of Our Lord" by Fr. Groeschel.
My thoughts, FWIW.
Other authors to be very wary of when it comes to Transubstantiation and the proper meaning of the sacraments:
Karl Rahner
Edward Schilebeeckx
Nathan Mitchell
Thomas Groome
Thomas Richstatter
Jeffrey VonLehmen
William Shannon
Joseph Martos
For an excellent article about the "dumbing down" (if not out right heresy) of the sacraments, please see this article by Fr. Edward O'Connor, C.S.C.:
bump for later read
Not ALL of the "Catholic Updates" are bad. They are a hodge-podge and mish-mash of good theology on certain topics mixed with BAD theology. They present differing "theologies" of theologians as if they were Catholic Truth from the Magisterium. This is a major problem. Theologians are NOT the Magisterium (like you said). I said "New Age" because some of these "Catholic Updates" focus on the Christ's Real Presence as being JUST AS PRESENT in the assembly as He is in the Eucharist. Not so.
Here are the dates of some examples:
Eucharist: Understanding Christ's Body--1998
The Sacrament of the Eucharist: What Has Happened to My Devotion?--1992
Real Presence In The Eucharist--1996
These are all presented in a "Come and See" big three-ring binder for an RCIA program. Mucho goofy stuff in there.
In a recent issue of "This Rock" (Dec '04), they did a whole issue of book reviews. There was a book published by St. Anthony Messenger Press called "Catholic Traditions: Treasures New and Old" by a Joanne Turpin which was reviewed by Michelle Arnold of Catholic Answers(p. 40, left-hand column). Arnold gave the book two out of five stars by-the-way.
Turpin says of Transubstantiation: "A devout manner of reception affirms the deeply held belief shared by Catholics that Christ is truly, fully present in the consecrated bread and wine."
To which Miss Arnold correctly says, "No, this is the deeply held belief of those non-Catholic Christians who subscribe to consubstantiation. Catholics have 'the deeply held belief' that the bread and wine are truly and fully changed into Christ, who is 'truly, fully present' under the appearance of bread and wine."
Thus, to Turpin, the bread and wine do NOT change. Jesus somehow attaches Himself to the bread and wine, or manifests Himself THROUGH them to make His "Real Presence" there. The latter "theology" is something called transfinalization or transignification. Both of which were promoted by Schilebeeckx and Rahner (and now, sadly, by many of their disciples).
Thank you so much for these quotes in order!
I have to get to work. I will get back with you as soon as I can.
"The author is sloppy, but is not contradict Church doctrine."
Kind of like giving a kid a cookie with a chocolate chip laced with arsenic. It's not completely okay, but it is mostly alright. However it may make you sick for a while.
This is huge part of the problem Dom. You water it down enough and the next thing you know the real doctrine is nowhere to be found and one ends up starving for real Truth. This is the "apologetcis method" of the Modernists.
I liked this part of that article:
"The body of Christ is not only ON the table, but AT the table and AROUND the table."
Well, I suppose I am the Eucharist right? No, I mean, WE are the Eucharist! Okay, I get it now. He is on the Altar, er--sorry, TABLE, but He is also present as us in the assembly!
So, should I respond to "The Body of Christ" when I receive communion with "I am!"???
Shoot, I could get some buds to go down to the Pizza Hut for some pepperoni and brew! Why go to Mass if I/we are the Body of Christ? I can give thanks to God right there----since I/we are Him.
Oh, and take that silly tabernacle out of the main nave of the Church. Kind of redundant to have the "consecrated bread" in here since I/we are "consecrated bread" ourselves.
Dom, you know I am being sarcastic but do you see what I mean? The stuff in these things really is so goofy in many ways. You are looking for specifics. I would be happy to share something with you about one of the other Updates.
Would you like to take this up privately like I asked Dom?
Jesus is NOT present the same way where two or three are gathered in His name as he is in the Sacred Host and Precious Blood.
From Ecclesia de Eucharistia:
10. In various parts of the Church abuses have occurred, leading to confusion with regard to sound faith and Catholic doctrine concerning this wonderful sacrament. At times one encounters an extremely reductive understanding of the Eucharistic mystery. Stripped of its sacrificial meaning, it is celebrated as if it were simply a fraternal banquet. Furthermore, the necessity of the ministerial priesthood, grounded in apostolic succession, is at times obscured and the sacramental nature of the Eucharist is reduced to its mere effectiveness as a form of proclamation. This has led here and there to ecumenical initiatives which, albeit well-intentioned, indulge in Eucharistic practices contrary to the discipline by which the Church expresses her faith. How can we not express profound grief at all this? The Eucharist is too great a gift to tolerate ambiguity and depreciation.
13. By virtue of its close relationship to the sacrifice of Golgotha, the Eucharist is a sacrifice in the strict sense, and not only in a general way, as if it were simply a matter of Christ's offering himself to the faithful as their spiritual food. The gift of his love and obedience to the point of giving his life (cf. Jn 10:17-18) is in the first place a gift to his Father. Certainly it is a gift given for our sake, and indeed that of all humanity (cf. Mt 26:28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20; Jn 10:15), yet it is first and foremost a gift to the Father: asacrifice that the Father accepted, giving, in return for this total self-giving by his Son, who 'became obedient unto death' (Phil 2:8), his own paternal gift, that is to say the grant of new immortal life in the resurrection.
In giving his sacrifice to the Church, Christ has also made his own the spiritual sacrifice of the Church, which is called to offer herself in union with the sacrifice of Christ. This is the teaching of the Second Vatican Council concerning all the faithful: Taking part in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, which is the source and summit of the whole Christian life, they offer the divine victim to God, and offer themselves along with it.
27. At various times in the two-thousand-year history of the People of the New Covenant, the Church's Magisterium has more precisely defined her teaching on the Eucharist, including its proper terminology, precisely in order to safeguard the apostolic faith with regard to this sublime mystery. This faith remains unchanged and it is essential for the Church that it remain unchanged.
Dominick, notice how JPII over and over again focuses on the SACRIFICE of Holy Mass? How many times do you see this in any of the Catholic Updates? He even says, "At times one encounters an extremely reductive understanding of the Eucharistic mystery. Stripped of its sacrificial meaning, it is celebrated as if it were simply a fraternal banquet." Yet, the "fraternal banquet" understanding of Holy Mass IS the focus of these Updates.
He also says, "The Eucharist is too great a gift to tolerate ambiguity and depreciation."
"Abiguity and depreciation". Hmmmm. Could that also per chance mean "sloppily written" as you say?
I am sorry. It is my contention that "watered down" and "sloppily written" catechetical materials, like many of these Catholic Updates and other material, directly leads one into heresy.

Sorry Ladies: Men Who Came Out Of The Closet And Crushed Women's Dreams
- By Bossip Staff Categories: For the Ladies, For Your Viewing Pleasure, Gay
Male Heartthrobs Who Came Out Of The Closet
Ladies love attractive men. Those heartthrobs that really get their engines going. And if you ask certain women, good men are incredibly hard to find. Which makes it even more heartbreaking for women when these good men end up coming out of the closet.
Tragic for the ladies, we know. But big win for some of the guys out there, no?
Anderson Cooper – The dashing journalist is worth more than a country and has ladies swooning through his shows. But he came out earlier this year.
Neil Patrick Harris – Dougie Howser came out even though he still plays a woman eater on How I Met Your Mother.
Wilson Cruz – He's a young actor that's gotten quite a buzz and quite a bit of attention from ladies. Sorry.

Home >> Homeschool Writing >> Writing a Kids Diary
Writing in a diary is a wonderful way for your kids to record their life and memories.
But there are several types of diaries they could keep - and lots of ways to go about it. And how do you get them to keep going, anyway?
A diary is a place where to write about what is happening to you in your life.
Diaries are a wonderful way to keep track of life - and hold onto memories. They are also great for spotting patterns in life and tracking progress towards goals.
Many famous people have kept journals, and from them we have learnt a lot about the past.
Maybe W. Cleon Skousen can convince you of the importance and benefits of keeping a journal!
There are lots of ways your children could keep a kids diary. Firstly, what type of diary would they be interested in keeping?
Of course, you can use a single diary for all of these things - or something completely different! Help your kids make it their own by allowing them to choose what to write in it.
One of the easiest ways to get them started - is to start one yourself! Seeing you write in a diary each day is a sure fire way to get them interested.
A notebook-based diary is handy because they can take it anywhere to sit and write in. And children are often encouraged to start writing if presented with a lovely notebook to use.
If you intend your kids to be regular about filling in their journal, then a dated version would be useful. Otherwise, just get a plain notebook and write the date at the top of the page. There are some lovely 'custom made' books for diary writing.
As well as keeping a notebook journal, many people use the PC or create their diary online. Here are some useful links if your children would prefer keeping a paperless diary.
So we have all started diaries at some time or another, only to stop using them after a few months. How can you encourage your child to keep writing?
I hope this encourages you to get your children started with a kids diary. And why not keep one yourself too!

A fun idea.
I was idly wondering if nobody was actively warring, would the sounds still reverberate as mentioned. So if this drum found its way into a humble village and they used it for celebration or ritual. They wouldn't notice much about it except it is a nice drum. But maybe 2 clans are at war not super far away and they keep hearing this mysterious beat of a drum....

Sick, deluded brainstorming.
The mutated offspring of a forced mating have a halved lifespans. During that lifespan, however, they are basically slaves to the whore-spider. They collect food, provide protection etc. They have partial morph abilities that can cause quite an odd shape when scared or captured. They are not able to control the shifting as well as their parents so often, if seen or captured, they twist into grotesque shapes of random spiders and bugs they have come across.
If birthed away, they are bold and brazen in trying to find their way back to the sire. They will wander aimlessly and not back down from any sized barrier or danger. The poisonous types of these are most dangerous to humans who are in their path as their morphing abilities often translate into survival skills and enhanced poisons.
When two whore-spiders meet, they fall into the spell of each other's luring skills and procreate till the male dies of exhaustion. During this intense workout, a non-sticky version of their webbing is constantly being thrown out and is twisted and strewn about. Sometimes, but not often, the spiders may get entwined in it and both perish. This thread is coveted for something...
Alchemists use their venom to make love potion #9? When found with the webbing....?

's comment on 2015-12-13 10:27 AM
I had a couple thoughts to add, let me know if they would work.
1) The only thought I had that maybe would work against magical beings, was putting a magical grip on a pole staff or club made from the main wood. A very specific tool, but could serve a purpose. I pictured a lone monk that was traveling with a bo staff with the center and both ends wrapped with a magical cloth. The only thing he can injure are magical creatures. Any hit against a mortal would simply be hit, forcefully, by a rag at the end of the stick...if anything. Unformed total thought, but that is what I had.
2) Secure the entrance to king's chambers or other areas that they want magic restrictions. By taking a door sized swath of bark or tree and extending it across an entrance you can stop all magical items from crossing. Assuming that if I was wearing a ring, then when I walk through the rest of my body would go through and then my ring would get stuck on the tree and snag there.

I think the payoff of this one is the quest at the end. I normally have trouble with things lasting millenniums and countless generations as I can't even comprehend the change that would/should happen in that amount of time. It really wouldn't take more than half a decade to get the same results you are looking for and then you maintain the timeline better. Once it is that old there is nobody that will know or remember any legend, just that there is a frozen kingdom. You feed enough that this is exactly what they have while we have the background so even works with my thought process...but maybe you get my point?
That said, saving the world from an endless summer is a fantastic idea!

Nerd alert. In high school I had a study hour so decided to reread LotR again. Another person there was doing the same thing. So over the course of the semester we memorized the ruins and were able to write runes as letters and translate them on the fly without a key. We didn't use any of the combined letters, just straight letters. So I like that this is put together so simply and well to just grab. It was in the appendix of the version I had.

Cold War? The post is vague enough that any number of scenarios could be come up from creation of another uber Earth bound weapon to create a standstill to some kind of diplomatic solution to a false sense of militaristic security that who cares if they have nukes, not going to touch us. Then the hack came...oops. Just seems narrow minded to just say no, this won't work.

I love the idea. Gave a vote bonus for the creativity of it as I can't recall ever hearing about a usage of current items in a situation like this. Very fun. I can see players casting all kinds of spells. Is it magical? Is it warm to the touch? etc etc. What would they do with a lava lamp. LOL!
Especially good if they don't know you are describing a current item. Then, when they finally ask the stupid question, "Is it scotch tape?" do you answer IC or OOC? LOL
I think I know the answer. Do the Blackhawks use it?

The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) is launched by Government of India in August 2008, aimed to modernize management of land records, minimize scope of land/property disputes, enhance transparency in the land records maintenance system, and facilitate moving eventually towards guaranteed conclusive titles to immovable properties in the country. The major components of the programme are computerization of all land records including mutations, digitization of maps and integration of textual and spatial data, survey/re-survey and updation of all survey and settlement records including creation of original cadastral records wherever necessary, computerization of registration and its integration with the land records maintenance system, development of core Geospatial Information System (GIS) and capacity building.
The main objective of the DILRMP is to develop a modern, comprehensive and transparent land records management system in the country with the aim to implement the conclusive land-titling system with title guarantee, which will be based on four basic principles, i.e., (i) a single window to handle land records (including the maintenance and updating of textual records, maps, survey and settlement operations and registration of immovable property), (ii) the ―mirror‖ principle, which refers to the fact that cadastral records mirror the ground reality, (iii) the ―curtain‖ principle which indicates that the record of title is a true depiction of the ownership status, mutation is automated and automatic following registration and the reference to past records is not necessary, and (iv) title insurance, which guarantees the title for its correctness and indemnifies the title holder against loss arising on account of any defect therein.
