In 1274, on his way to a general council in Lyon, after having been invited by Pope Gregory X, St. Thomas Aquinas fell ill near the city of Terracina. He eventually accepted the hospitality of the Cistercian monks in the Abbey of Fossa Nuova (now Fossanova). On March 7, 1274, his strength failed and he died in the Abbey. The Cistercians were forced to leave the Abbey by Napoleon in 1810. The Abbey and church are now under the care of Franciscan Friars from Poland. The room in which St. Thomas died is now a small chapel.
The Cistercian Abbey church is a beautiful example of early Roman Gothic architecture. It was completed around the year 1208 and displays the simple but grand architectural style of the Cistercians of the middle ages. Pictures of the Abbey are below.

Dominican Jubilee in Rome
|Very Rev. Bruno Cadore, Master of the Order of Preachers, preaches at the Jubilee Mass in Rome.
This year, the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) celebrate the 800th year of our founding. For a brief history of the Order, the Dominican friars of the Province of England have an excellent summary. The Jubilee will be celebrated mostly at the local level, as a thanksgiving to God for the Order and a supplication for the grace necessary to continue our mission. For the events in the Province of St. Joseph, you can see our Provincial Jubilee website. For events around the world, see the Jubilee Website of the Order.
You can follow us on social media on Twitter at @Dominican_Order or on Facebook at OrdoPraedicatorum.
Here in Rome, the Jubilee began with Mass at Santa Sabina on the Feast of All Saints of the Order of Preachers (Nov 7 in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite). Santa Sabina is the priory where, by long tradition, the Master of the Order lives. The Basilica was originally given to St. Dominic in 1220. Mass was celebrated by the Master of the Order, Fr. Bruno Cadore, OP. Present were friars from all over the world, as well as Dominican sisters and nuns, and members of the Third Order.
Here is a slideshow of pictures from the Mass.

Some thoughts on the new Encyclical
Below are some initial reactions to the Pope's newEncyclical. They're perhaps a bit disjointed, and certainly do not cover everything. But they are some of my initial impressions on reading the document, and a few points I took away as most important. I do encourage everyone to read it. It is a fairly simple style to read, and easily comprehensible. It is also the best way to steer clear of the overly-ideological spin that the members of the media seem determined to give to it.
Climate Change
Before getting to the actual encyclical, I want to mention some of the reporting. Reading the press accounts, many have discussed the encyclical as if it were the Climate Change Encyclical. To just take one typical example, a New York Times's headline puts it, somewhat predictably, this way: "Pope Francis in Sweeping Encyclical Calls for Swift Action on Climate Change". As is typical for the religion reporting at that newspaper, it reflects more the ideological hopes of the author and editors than it does what the Pope actually said. In fact, the notion of Climate Change makes up a rather small part of the Encyclical. It is certainly addressed, and the Pope sees it as important, but to identify it as the main thrust of this Encyclical, as the New York Times and others do, is very misleading.
Also, the Pope is very clear that the reality of Climate Change is not something on which he speaks with magisterial authority. He speaks in terms of "scientific consensus", and defers to the scientific community. He says, quite bluntly: "I would state once more that the Church does not presume to settle scientific questions or to replace politics."
In other words, the Encyclical is much broader than just an affirmation of the scientific consensus on climate change. Any news outlet you read or hear that pitches it that way is being deceptive—don't listen to them. Rather, this Encyclical is a far-reaching reflection on creation itself, and especially man's place within it. Moreover, it is meant to reflect specifically on the modern world, and specifically role and place of modern technology in the life of man and with respect to the environment.
Laudato si'
As most people have commended, the title is taken from the first words of the Encyclical. Usually this is in Latin, but this time Pope Francis chose to use the 13th century Umbrian Italian of St. Francis of Assisi. Those Italian words are "Laudato si', mi' Signore" (or, in modern Italian: "Laudato sii, mio Signore"). Most media outlets are reporting only the first two words, which are the title: "Praised be to you". But it is important to understand all of St. Francis's words: "Praised be to you, my Lord." For St. Francis especially, everything is directed to God. St. Francis did not talk about himself, he talked about God.
In many ways, this is the key to understanding the whole Encyclical. The Pope wants to reject two extremes. On the one hand, he wants to reject a distorted anthropomorphism that exaggerates man's role in the world. On the other hand, he wants to reject a neo-pantheism that would worship creation and make man utterly subject to it.
Some of those in the environmental movement have criticized the Judeo-Christian tradition as one of the sources of the problem of economic degradation. The Biblical language asserting man's Dominion of the world, some argue, has become the excuse by which man ravages the land for his own use. Moreover, the extend that criticism to the medieval philosophers and the hierarchy of being, which places man at the top of the material world, and the rest of the created order—animals, plants, the earth itself—underneath him.
Pope Francis wisely corrects this false view. It is true that the Christian understanding of creation posits in man a greater dignity, for human beings are the only ones in the material world created in God's image and likeness. And God's words to Adam after he's been expelled from the Garden are to till the land – but he also tells him to "keep it", in the sense of protect and preserve it. It is true that man is given governance over creation, but even that remains subject to the Providence of God. Man's governance of creation is itself subject to God's plan, in which all things find their end in God. So, far from man having absolute dominion over the earth, the Christian tradition sees man as its caretaker, its steward. This sums it up well: "Our relationship with the environment can never be isolated from our relationship with others and with God. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than romantic individualism dressed up in ecological garb, locking us into a stifling immanence." (LS 119) And this notion of stewardship means especially recognizing that we protect the world for future generations. In what will likely become one of the more quoted lines of the Encyclical: "What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?" (LS 160)
At the same time, we must avoid the temptation to equate the value of man and the rest of the created order. Pope Francis is very clear on this. He says: "There can be no ecology without an adequate anthropology. When the human person is considered as simply one being among others, the product of chance or physical determinism, then 'our overall sense of responsibility wanes'." (LS 118) He emphasizes this hierarchy especially in an example about water. As the Pope explains, access to fresh water is a vital natural resource because it is an absolute necessity for human life. So, when assessing the environmental effects of given projects, we need to take into account the effects on access to water: "For example, we know that water is a scarce and indispensable resource and a fundamental right which conditions the exercise of other human rights. This indisputable fact overrides any other assessment of environmental impact on a region." (LS 185) This means not only the manufacturer whose product despoils the water table, but the subspecies of fish who that may have to be sacrificed to permit access to water in a drought. The environment is not to be preserved in some sort of permanent stasis, like a scene in a snow globe. It is not some idol of the present, to be worshipped in itself.
An Integral Ecology
The primary focus of the Pope's Encyclical is to prompt a change in attitude regarding man's place in the environment. He deliberately speaks in terms of an "ecological conversion" (LS 5) rather than a merely environmental one. The reason for this is to emphasize the interdependence of the created world. An ecology is more than just a few plants and some animals thrown together. An ecology is a system – a system of interdependence between the various elements of the environment, which sustains them and allows them to continue. So, too, man is not cut off from the environment around him. Rather, he must be aware that he is a part of the ecological system – a system he needs and that he in turn effect. Moreover, there is an ecology to human society as well – that the social dimensions of human life are related to the way in which we approach creation around us. Therefore, Pope Francis prompts us to an "integral ecology" which recognizes the "interrelation between ecosystems and between the various spheres of social interaction". (LS 141) In other words, we need to broaden our view to better recognize how our life, in all its dimensions, is part of our natural environment.
Conversion of Life
More than anything, the Pope calls us to a conversion of life. Man lives in a world marred by sin, and this disorder within us effects our relationship with creation, too. "The harmony between the Creator, humanity and creation as a whole was disrupted by our presuming to take the place of God and refusing to acknowledge our creaturely limitations." Man's selfishness looks to his own gratification first, regardless of the consequences. The Pope calls us to live a simpler life, casting aside the modern temptations of consumerism and individualism, to live in a more harmonious relationship with God's creation. This is more than international agreements, political campaigns, or green technology. It is first and foremost a recognition that our encounter with Jesus Christ must also be manifest in our relationship with the world around us. As the Pope emphasizes: "a healthy relationship with creation is one dimension of overall personal conversion, which entails the recognition of our errors, sins, faults and failures, and leads to heartfelt repentance and desire to change." This call to conversion is addressed to all levels of society – the individual family, neighborhoods and communities, local and national governments, leaders of business and industry, and multinational organizations.
One Critique
As much good as there is in this Encyclical, there are some problems. The biggest problem, to put it quite bluntly, is the Pope's insufficient understanding of economics. The Pope constantly sees economic growth in merely static terms. For him, it seems, the economic life is like a big pie, and if one person takes a piece, then he is denying it to someone else. But the reality of market-based systems is that they can grow the pie. When resources are given to those who use them most efficiently for the greatest good, everyone benefits. And it is precisely the mechanism of price that allows those goods to transfer most efficiently. Is a market-based system perfect? Of course not, society needs political mechanisms to provide for justice – something markets do not do very well. But it is undeniable that private property and free and open markets are the two greatest forces for eliminating material poverty that the world has ever known.

The Feast of St. Catherine of Siena in Siena
The Italian friars at the Catherinian Basilica of St. Dominic in Siena kindly invited another friar and me for the feast of St. Catherine. The feast usually celebrated by the city on the weekend near her feast day, with several events spread through the weekend. This year, the Pope's representative was Beniamino Cardinal Stella, the Prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, who celebrated the solemn Mass. The Archbishop of Siena, the aptly named Antonino Buoncristiani (which would translate as Tony Goodchristians), also attended all of the events.
It is interesting, especially as an American, to see the mixture of civil and religious in events like this. For the Italians, the civic, the cultural, and the religious are mixed (and assumed) in a way that we simply do not normally do in the U.S. St. Catherine is both a figure of religious holiness and of civic pride for the Sienese, and remains a very important figure.
The first event we attended was the laying of flowers at the statute of St. Catherine near the Basilica. This generally involved groups of women--religious, lay groups, and civil organizations--who came with bouquets of flowers to be set at the statue. In attendance were also the mayor of Siena and other civil officials. As at most of the events, the local neighborhoods (contrade) had representatives in period costume with flags and drums.
That same evening was a concert in honor of St. Catherine at the Duomo (Cathedral), with the Archbishop in attendance. Siena has a well-regarded school of music, the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali "Rinaldo Franci" da Siena. They chose a selection of music from Gustav Faure, and especially music from his Requiem Mass. I find the Pie Jesu from Faure's Requiem Mass to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music. (Here's a YouTube version of the Pie Jesu sung by the great Kathleen Battle.)
The next day began with another religious/civic event at the house of St. Catherine. With the Cardinal, the Archbishop of Siena, the Mayor of Siena, and various military figures in attendance, gifts were offered to the sanctuary there, including candles and oil for the lamps.
Following that was the solemn Mass presided by Cardinal Stella at the Basilica San Domenico.
Finally, on Sunday afternoon, was the procession with the relic of St. Catherine. The relic was solemnly carried from San Domenico, accompanied by the local neighborhood (contrada) where the Basilica is located (the contrado Drago (dragon)), with flags and drums. We then came to the Church of St. Christopher near the town center, where we were joined by the sisters from the shrine of St. Catherine, as well as representatives from the other neighborhoods (contrade) in period costume. The drums escorted us to the campo, where there is a permanent outdoor shrine and altar, where the relic rested as various speeches were made by civil officials. The event ended with a prayer of blessing from the Archbishop of Siena.

Even the Pope gets Canon Law wrong sometimes!
Once in a while I post something on canon law, usually to correct some major error I see. It is odd now to write a post to correct a rather major error from the Holy See on Canon Law, and even from the Pope himself.
So what is the mistake. A bit back, Pope Francis announced an extraordinary jubilee to begin this year. He has called this a Year of Mercy. As is typical, he has issued a Bull of Indiction, Misericordiae Vultus (the Face of Mercy), listing the spiritual benefits to accrue to the faithful in this Jubilee Year. In that document he makes the following statement in paragraph 18:
During Lent of this Holy Year, I intend to send out Missionaries of Mercy. They will be a sign of the Church's maternal solicitude for the People of God, enabling them to enter the profound richness of this mystery so fundamental to the faith. There will be priests to whom I will grant the authority to pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See, so that the breadth of their mandate as confessors will be even clearer.
A bit of background here. Most Catholics are under the impression that any priest may hear a confession at any time. This is not true. While the sacrament of Order (i.e., just being a priest) gives the priest sacramental power. that is not sufficient for him to absolve sins during confession. He also needs something called jurisdictional power, or the executive power of governance. The Code usually calls this faculties. Basically, he needs to be given permission by his local Bishop to hear confessions. (Although pastors of parishes and some others have the power by the law itself.) Without that granting of authority, he has no power to absolve sins.
The point in question here is about the "authority to pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See". That refers to sins that the Pope has reserved to himself (or one of the Apostolic Penitentiaries) alone to absolve -- no other priest or bishop would have the power to absolve those sins.
So what's the problem? In the Latin Church, the law has eliminated all of these reserved sins since 1983 -- more than 30 years. In other words, there are no sins reserved to the Holy See in the Latin Church. So, it's not clear at all what these "Missionaries of Mercy" will be doing.
The law does reserve the removal of certain penalties to the Holy See. There are certain penalties that priests can lift in the confessonial, For example, in the Latin Church, a Catholic who procures an abortion automatically (latae sententiae) receives an undeclared penalty of excommunication. Under certain circumstances (see can. 1357), a priest can lift that penalty of excommunication. But there are penalties for certain offense (the canonical word is "delicts") that only the Holy See can lift. These include penalties for, e.g., using physical force on the Pope, violating the seal of confession, attempting to ordain a woman, desecrating the eucharist, and clerical sexual abuse. Perhaps the Pope means to assign these "Missionaries of Mercy" to these reserved penalties. If so, it does not seem to me that there are all that many of these, or why the usual process through the Holy See would not suffice.
I should note that this is not true of the Eastern Catholic Churches (e.g., Byzantine Catholics, Maronite Catholics, etc.). There are "reserved sins" in those Churches. So, I suppose this could mean that these "Missionaries of Mercy" will only be sent to the Eastern Churches. Although, if that were the case, you'd think it would be specified that way.
Either way, it shows that even the Pope can get canon law wrong, and why he always needs some good canonists to give him counsel.
4/29/15 UPDATE: I added a sentence to clarify a canonical term.
12/6/15 UPDATE: The Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, who have the duty to authentically interpret the law, have weighed in on the issue. You can see the letter (in Italian) from the President of the Council here. The letter references a Sept. 1st letter from Pope Francis to the President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization to grant during the Jubilee Year to all priests (tutti i sacerdoti) the faculty to absolve from the sin of abortion (assolvere dal peccato di aborto). Since all priests with the faculty to hear confession generally already have this faculty, some explanation was needed. The letter indicates that without doubt (indubbio, non c'è alcun dubbio), despite the words used, what was intended was to grant the faculty to lift the censure of a non declared latae sententiae excommunication for those who have procured an abortion. This seems to be limited only to the latae sententiae penalty for procuring abortion. Therefore, the Missionaries of Mercy will still have a broader faculty, as it seems they will have the authority to lift any undeclared latae sententiae excommunication.

La Galleria Borghese
|La Galleria Borghese
The Borghese Gallery is one of the best art museums in Rome. It began originally as the art collection of Cardinal Cardinal Scipione, who was the son of Hortensia Borghese and the nephew of Pope Paul V. As the Borghese Gallery website explains:
Cardinal Scipion was drawn to any works of ancient, Renaissance and contemporary art which might re-evoke a new golden age. He was not particularly interested in medieval art, but passionately sought to acquire antique sculpture. But Cardinal Scipione was so ambitious that he promoted the creation of new sculptures and especially marble groups to rival antique works. Cardinal Scipione's collection of paintings was remarkable and was poetically described as early as 1613 by Scipione Francucci.The museum houses one of the best collections of statutes by the famed sculptor Bernini. It also houses several paintings by Caravaggio. The Gallery is situated in the beautiful Borghese park on a hill at the northern end of Rome. You can go through the museum in under 2 hours. If you ever go, I strongly recommend going with a written guide or buying an audio guide. The works of art are not well marked or described.
Here are some pictures of some of the art that can be found in La Galleria Borghese:

Fiesole is a small town just outside of Florence. You can get from the Basilica of San Marco just north of the Cathedral to Fiesole in about 10-15 minutes by bus. In the history of the Dominican Order, it is important as a center for reform of the Order in the 15th century. St. Antoninus, later Bishop of Florence, was one of the first novices there. But it is also especially connected to Bl. John of Fiesole, more popularly known as Fra Angelico. As St. Thomas Aquinas is known as the Doctor Angelicus (the "Angelic Doctor"), John of Fiesole is the Pictor Angelicus (the "Angelic Painter"). He was not only one of the greatest artists the Order has known, but he helped create the Italian Renaissance. Below is a slideshow of some of the pictures I took from the convent in Fiesole.

The student body is mostly Caucasian, the second most common race being African-American, followed by Hispanic. These races blend and there is little to no separation of races, the student body for the most part is friendly. Most people are in a club, if not several clubs and are very involved in them. Most people seem to be on some sort of financial aid, or are on a scholarship for sports. Sports are huge at CSC and many people participate, our golf and basketball teams are phenomenal. By in large, everyone accepts everybody else, and there are no difficulties in communicating between genders, races, or religion.

Back in April I built some vigs based off the classic Disneyland/Disney World attraction Pirates Of The Caribbean. I love the ride dearly, and recently finished up three more vigs based off the ride. These are scenes that feature Captain Jack Sparrow from the expansion(s) in 2006.
Jack Sparrow hides near a dress shop, while on the
run from some scurvy pirates who are out to get him.
Here I be holdin' the treasure map and the key aswell.
What I wouldn't give to see the look on Cap'n Jack Sparrow's face. Arharhar!
Jack Sparrow enjoys his spoils inside the town's treasure room.
See all the pics here.
I enjoyed making these, and I hope you'll enjoy them too.

Sauber driver Gutierrez had impressed in Austin qualifying as he took 10th place, but he was adjudged to have impeded Pastor Maldonado, earning him a 10-place penalty.
Button knew from Friday that he faced a three-place drop, having overtaken when the red flags were out during the complicated opening practice session. The McLaren man struggled for pace in qualifying anyway, and was only 13th quickest.
Pic's five-place penalty was awarded after Caterham had to break the gearbox seals on his car to fix an issue. He had been 21st in qualifying.
Max Chilton, who qualified last for Marussia, was also found guilty of blocking in qualifying, with Maldonado and Adrian Sutil on the receiving end. As he could not receive a grid demotion, he will have to take a drive-through penalty within the first five laps of Sunday's race.
At the front, Sebastian Vettel beat Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber to pole position after a close battle, with Romain Grosjean and Nico Hulkenberg earning the row two spots.

John de Menteith
Sir John Menteith of Ruskie (c. 1275 – c. 1323) was a Scottish nobleman.
He was born to Mary, Countess of Menteith and her husband Walter "Bailloch" Stewart, Earl of Menteith jure uxoris. He and his older brother, Alexander, Earl of Menteith, used the name of the earldom as their surname de Menteith. John possessed the land of Ruskie in Stirlingshire,
He was Governor of Dumbarton Castle, an appointment made by Edward I who was keen to secure the fortification as a major access route into Scotland by sea. Tradition has it that Menteith betrayed Sir William Wallace to English soldiers, which led to Wallace's capture and torturous execution and his later nickname Fause Menteith ("Menteith the treacherous, false").
Wyntoun, whose "Metrical Chronicle" was written in 1418, says:
Tuk in Glasgow William Walays;
And sent hym until Ingland sune,
The English chronicler Piers Langtoft states that Menteith discovered the retreat of Wallace through the treacherous information of Jack Short, his servant, and that he came under cover of night and seized him in bed. A passage in the Scalachronica, quoted by John Leland, notes, "William Walleys was taken of the Counte of Menteith, about Glasgow, and sent to King Edward, and after was hanged, drawn, and quartered at London."
Menteith, by an unknown spouse, had issue:[1]
- Sir John de Menteith the younger, married Helen daughter of Gartnait, Earl of Mar
- Walter Menteith
- Johanna Menteith, married (1) Malise, 7th Earl of Strathearn, (2) John Campbell, Earl of Atholl, (3) Maurice de Moravia, Earl of Strathearn, (4) William de Moravia, 5th Earl of Sutherland

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has rejected a Senate proposal floated in recent days to create privately-run healthcare cooperatives in place of government-run insurance plans.
Pelosi told reporters on Thursday morning that House Democrats want healthcare reform to include a government-run insurance option to ensure that all Americans can receive affordable healthcare.
"Not instead of a public option, no," Pelosi said when asked about the proposal unveiled by some Senate Democrats to set up privately-run co-ops.
"In our house there is strong support for a public option," Pelosi said.
The Democratic leader, however, said that a government-run plan should not have to depend on subsidies from the government and should be put on a "level playing field" with private plans.
"It should be actuarially sound, it should be administratively self-sufficient. It should be a real competitor with the private sector and not have an unfair advantage."
Republicans such as Sen. Chuck GrassleyChuck GrassleyHouse oversight asks for private meeting with EpiPen maker Grassley: Mylan not going far enough with EpiPen discounts Five things to know about the Clinton Foundation and its donors MORE (Iowa), the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, have charged that creation of a widely available public insurance plan would lead to a single-payer healthcare system where the government would dominate.

Senate Republicans and Democrats who met with President Obama on Wednesday raised a possible compromise: creating non-profit cooperatives to expand insurance coverage.
Co-ops would not be controlled by the government but would compete with private, for-profit health plans.
Although the proposal has gained momentum in the Senate in recent days, Pelosi dismissed the idea as a possible substitute for government-managed healthcare.
Pelosi also vowed Thursday that Democrats would find ways to pay for the full cost of healthcare reform.
Pelosi's pledge puts pressure on lawmakers to raise taxes or find other ways to finance a healthcare overhaul, which will likely exceed a trillion dollars.
"That is our intention, that is the work we're doing now," Pelosi told reporters. "It will be paid for."

Mutaz Sammour a Jordanian "Christian" is distributing dates and water to those fasting in Ramadan.
Photos: Mutaz Sammour a Jordanian"Christian" is distributing dates, water and homemade cooked meals to those fasting in Ramadan.
Last week, with the beginning of The Holy Month of Ramadan, a young Jordanian Christian Mutaz Ziad Sammour, leaves his home in Tla'a Al-Ali (a vicinity in Western Amman) daily before the time of Maghrib (sunset) prayer, bringing along with him pre-packaged dates and water to distribute to drivers on traffic lights for Iftar time. Sammour spares no effort to draw a smile on the faces of the poor children he encounters in the area, and does not leave a man in the hour of need at Iftar time. Mutaz Sammour a young Jordanian Christian resembles a bright picture showing religious co-existence in the kingdom of Jordan.
With the aid of many friends, family and fellow college students, Mutaz Sammour had created an initiative to reach out to the poor and needy via his campaign "Blessings from Good People to Good People" " فيكم خير لاهل الخير".
Mutaz's efforts coupled with the support he's receiving through his neighborhood, family, friends and Facebook contacts, he's now able to reach out to poor families as well as orphaned children. He had broadened his initiative from dates and water to include a whole homemade cooked meal. The meals are prepared at home by his mother, then equally divided and packaged then sealed and readied for distribution on the same day. The meals consist of (Dates, Water, Juice, Rice, Chicken, Plain Yogurt, and a candy bar for dessert).
After his campaign had reached Al-Wehdat refugee camp, where he visited the poor and distributed meals and their needs of staple foods, Sammour's efforts were met with great anticipation and excitement from the public and local broadcasting media. He was mentioned in local newspapers, online news media as well as being hosted on local radio talk shows.
On Friday, July 11th, 2014 Mutaz Sammour is planning to feed five-hundred orphaned children at Iftar time in Al-Hashmi (a vicinity in Northern / Eastern Amman). Mutaz initial plan was to feed and clothe two-hundred orphans, but with the increasing support he's receiving from the public, he was able to reach more than double.
Sammour will continue his campaign throughout The Holy Month of Ramadan, bringing Christians and Muslims closer to help each other, and states:
"We are going to eliminate poverty,
And not through a senator, or a minister or a senior political figure.
We are going to eliminate poverty by helping each other,
From a simple man to a simple man, from a brother to a brother."

A look back at the government shutdown of 1995-1996, relevant now as another budget battle looms in Washington, shows that public attitudes toward the fight "went south quickly" and "the standing of Republicans in Congress dropped from a pretty good level to a much weaker point," though it recovered before long.

State-by-State Guide to Taxes on Retirees
West Virginia
The Bottom Line
The Mountain State uses the federal income tax form as the starting point for its state income tax. So any amount of retirement income that is taxable and included in federal adjusted gross income is taxable in West Virginia. Ditto for Social Security benefits. The state does offer some retirement-income exemptions, however. Sales taxes are reasonable.
State Sales Tax
6% (nonprepared food and prescription drugs are exempt). Prepared food items, food sold through vending machines and soft drinks are taxed at 6%. Some municipalities may add a local sales tax of up to 1%.
Income Tax Range
Low: 3% (on up to $10,000 of taxable income)
High: 6.5% (on taxable income of $60,000 or more)
Social Security
Social Security benefits are taxed to the extent that benefits are taxed by the federal government.
Exemptions for Other Retirement Income
Taxpayers 65 and older may exclude the first $8,000 of any type of retirement income ($16,000 for married couples) from West Virginia taxes. Out-of-state pensions qualify for the $8,000/$16,000 exemption. Residents can exempt $2,000 of civil or state pensions.
A Family Tax Credit is also available to income-eligible families to reduce or eliminate their West Virginia personal income tax.
Qualifies for the retirement-income exemption.
401(k)s and Other Defined-Contribution Employer Retirement Plans
Qualifies for the retirement-income exemption.
Private Pensions
Qualifies for the retirement-income exemption.
Public Pensions
Qualifies for the retirement-income exemption. Residents can also exempt $2,000 of civil or state pensions.
Property Taxes
Median property tax on West Virginia's median home value of $103,200 is $605, according to the Tax Foundation.
Tax breaks for seniors: The homestead program allows a $20,000 exemption against the total assessed value of single-family homes, including manufactured homes. So if the home's assessed value is $80,000, the homestead exemption allows the home to be taxed on the discounted value of $60,000. This is a benefit administered at the county level for those who are 65 or older or totally and permanently disabled.
If you still owe local property taxes on your home after the application of the homestead exemption and your federal adjusted gross income is no higher than 150% of the federal poverty guideline, you may qualify for the Senior Citizens Tax Credit. The tax credit for eligible homestead exemption participants is based on the tax paid on the first $20,000 of taxable value. The federal poverty guideline is based on the number of people living in the home. So for the home assessed at $80,000, the homestead exemption and income tax credit allow the home to be taxed on the discounted value of just $40,000.
If your property taxes are more than 4% of your annual gross income, you could qualify for the Homestead Excess Property Tax Credit, which is equal to the amount of property tax that exceeds 4%. (Qualifying income includes federal adjusted gross income, nontaxable benefits and any other nontaxable sources of income.) The credit cannot exceed $1,000. Gross household income must be 300% or less of the federal poverty guideline. If you also qualify for the Senior Citizens Tax Credit, you must deduct that credit amount from property taxes paid when determining eligibility. If that net amount exceeds 4% of income, you may qualify for the Homestead Excess Property Tax Credit.
Inheritance and
Estate Taxes
There is no inheritance tax or estate tax.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
The two apps that we're going to be using throughout this course are something called Adobe Sketch and Adobe Line, which are two new applications from Adobe. We're going to start off by talking about Adobe Sketch, which is just like it sounds, a sketching application that allows you to do lots of different stuff, whether it's a website mockup, digital portrait, many different things. Let's take a look. going to open up Adobe Sketch. And when you first open up the app, you're going to notice that you have several different sketches that you didn't create. They're actually called community sketches and they're part of the Behance network.
In fact, Behance powers a great deal of what's going on inside of this application. When you scroll through here, you can see examples of the work that people are creating using this application. So, for instance, if I were to tap on one of these, I can explore this project, which has some pretty cool stuff in it. As you continue to scroll through, you'll see lots of different iterations and this is basically a work in progress if you're familiar with the Behance nomenclature. Up at the top, you can also see where you can follow this person on Behance, and at the bottom, you'll see where you can appreciate the project, which is essentially like a Facebook like on the Behance system.
To exit out of this, all you have to do is tap right here. So as you can see, there's a lots of different things that you can do with this application. It's ultimately up to you how you use it. Now, let's go out and take a look at Adobe Line, which is a little bit different. Adobe Line is going to be more of a precision drawing application, which you use to create line drawings, architectural renderings and digital scenes. So, let's take a look. Inside of this app, when you first launch it up, you're going to see these three example files, which were created by Adobe to show you exactly what this app can do. The first here is a line drawing which has several different shapes in it.
When I tap on this, it's going to launch up and it's going to give you some information about how it was created. It's also tell you about something called smart guides, which you can get rid off just by tapping anywhere on the screen. Once you do that, what's interesting about this examples files is you have the ability to actually see how they were built. Tap up here in the top right corner, so that it goes into full screen mode. And I'm also going to turn off this little target icon right there. And then if I hold down three fingers on the screen and start to scroll backwards, you can see the history of this file as it was created. It's just a bunch of lines put together.
And Adobe Line makes it super easy to create illustrations just like this. I can jump back out of full screen mode by tapping here. And then back to the gallery by tapping up here in the top left-hand corner. The second example here shows you what's possible in terms of architectural renderings, which is pretty cool. You have the ability to draw in perspective using Adobe Line, which makes it super easy to create scenes like this, which we'll talk about in great detail later on. And let's take a look at this little desert scene. When I tap on it, you're going to notice that this little information box pops up talking about stamps.
Now, for now, I'm just going to dismiss this by tapping to the outside of it. We're going to talk about stamps in detail later on. So I'll hit OK and that's just going to get rid of the stamp and I'll go ahead and turn that off. And then I can step back through this one just like I could the other illustrations by holding down three fingers and then scrubbing backwards. And you can see how the file was created from start to finish. Which is a really cool feature. Adobe includes all three of these files so that you can see exactly how they constructed these and to give you a little bit of inspiration and show you what's possible when you're using this application.
Whether you're using Adobe Sketch or Adobe Line, the possibilities literally are endless. And you're only limited by your own creativity when it comes to these applications. So I highly recommend that you check out both of them and see how they fit within your creative workflow.

Okay, so maybe I'm just not a chocolate person.
Anyway, I don't know why I hadn't put two and two together before or why no one has told me to try this, but sriracha + hummus = heaven. Add an egg, stuff it into a pita, and you've got the best damn breakfast sandwich on the planet.
The end.
Sriracha Hummus
- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas $1.29
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil $0.28
- ¼ cup lemon juice $0.22
- ¼ cup tahini $0.81
- 1 clove garlic $0.08
- ½ tsp salt $0.02
- ⅛ tsp cumin $0.02
- approx. 2 Tbsp sriracha $0.24
- Drain the chickpeas and add to a food processor along with the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic (whole is fine), salt, and cumin. Process until smooth, adding water or more olive oil as needed. I usually add ¼ – ½ cup water, but you can olive oil for a creamier hummus.
- Start with 1 Tbsp of sriracha and add more to your liking. I like it hot so I added about 2 Tbsp.
For the original plain hummus recipe and three other flavors, check out the original post.
I also can't wait to try it on my grilled vegetable and hummus pizza!

We LOVE your site. You have such a commitment to good taste. I mean why else would you eat . . .
It is because of your commitment that I share this. We made your hummus recipe and it tasted really good, but then we made this hummus recipe http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/israeli-style-hummus and it was the consistency that trumped your recipe. So if you combined the two recipes it really does make the perfect hummus.
Everyone loved this humus! The second time I made it I added a couple tablespoons of cream cheese and it was even more amazing!
OMG Huy Fong is in the picture. lol. You're overpaying, then! You can get it on Amazon for 13 cents/oz and I've gotten it cheaper before. Hadouken!
I guess you don't use Huy Fong, 'cause there's no way that comes out to 24 cents for 2 tablespoons.
This was without a doubt the best hummus I have ever tasted!
I used 4 cups slow cooked garbanzo beans (I doubled the recipe) and left out the cumin. This hummus was out of this world delicious. I'll be making this with and without sriracha sauce indefinitely. I spread it inside of some homemade whole wheat pita and it was fantastic.
I saved this recipe over a year ago and just got around to making it. So, so delicious and easy to make…I don't think I'll ever eat store-bought hummus again!
I just made this recipe last night and it is fantastic! I used the full 2 Tblsp sriracha and it was perfect :)
Thanks so much for sharing this. I have been looking for new vegetarian recipes and I am excited to try some more from this site :)
Lovely Recipe you have shared.. thanks for sharing.. Made the similar recipe of "Hummus" try to visit my place when time permits .. Recipes Passion love to have your feedback; just visiting..
Happy blogging have a good day.. dear :)
Quick and cheap (minus the tahini) and tasty. Discovered my food processor died once i had all my ingredients in its bowl, so I moved everything to my blender and success. I don't know if it is supposed to be implied in the directions, but I blended in the sriracha after initially blending the step 1 ingredients together for a bit.
I've kept quiet, but really, this is AMAZING. I'm thinking up a hundred different excuses to eat it, totally stuffing myself! Many thanks from one of your usually silent followers. :)
This is awesome! However, being a new Sriracha fan, I apparently bought a non-spicy version. I used it anyway and the hummus was amazing, just not spicy. Great recipe that I have made twice now (in the same week). I'm looking forward to trying many more of your recipes. Thank you!!
Made this tonight for a beer and games night and it was a big hit! And I ended up using more the 2 tblspoons of sriracha and it wasn't too spicy for my friends! I love your blog, thank you!
I love hummus and sriracha alot. I could add it to literally anything but never thought about combining them together. this is certainly being bookmarked :)
Well….maybe a Christmas present for youself ?theoatmeal.com/quiz/sriracha_addict
Liz – I keep saying that I'll cook up some dry garbanzos, since I cook most of my other beans from dry, but have yet to do so. I'm sure it would taste much better (more fresh tasting), although it might need a little more salt.
do you ever use dried chickpeas?
Wow, this looks awesome! I really like your site by the way. It is really rare that you find a recipe blog where you literally want to try EVERY recipe. Thanks so much!
Mary Ellen
This was freakin' AHMAZING!
Thank you for the recipe. I just made this and it is awesome! :)
Best. Dip. EVER.
That is all. :)
OMG, this stuff is delicious. It reminds me so much of roasted red pepper hummus except it's yummier and cheaper, haha! I was trying to add some more protein to my late snack so I'd get more full so I added a heaping spoonful of Fage 0% Greek Yogurt into my approx. 2 tbsp hummus. Very delicious! I imagine you could get the same flavor with sour cream if you didn't have greek yogurt on hand and it makes it really creamier too. I am definitely going to make some sort of x layer dip with my new combination, this blows refried beans outta the water, seriously.
This was amazing! I love hummus and sriracha and in this case the sum is greater than the parts. My only issue was a crappy lemon that was all rind and very little juice, so next time I'll keep an extra lemon on standby.
To ElizabethMD Jewelry: if you can't find tahini you can easily make it yourself. Homemade tahini is tastier and much cheaper to make than store-bought. It consists of sesame seeds and olive oil….that's it. I wish I could give you exact measurements, but I can't. I spread about a 1/4 inch layer of sesame seeds on a small cookie sheet and toast them until they are golden and shiny (about 7-8 minutes). Then I pop them in the food processor and blend in olive oil until it's the consistency of a loose peanut butter.

Absolutely Excellent,
This review is from: Programming in Haskell (Paperback)
This book was written for first-year students, meaning that the author took care to make it consise, gentle, easy to understand, and has provided good introductory examples. After getting your head around Haskell, you can then pick up a more full and complex book on the subject.
As a professional developer, lacking prior experience in functional languages, I really enjoyed this introduction. As I was reading it concurrently with books on ML, Scheme, and Erlang, this text always made me feel comfortable with a new topic which the others then explored in more detail.

King Crimson
this wiki
King Crimson (キング·クリムゾン Kingu Kurimuzon?, sometimes shortened to K Crimson (K・クリムゾン?)) is the Stand of Diavolo, featured in Vento Aureo. It has a sub-Stand, Epitaph (エピタフ Epitafu?), which is primarily utilized by Doppio, Diavolo's other personality.
King Crimson is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Diavolo's, but tends to look much bigger and taller. Its body is covered by a raised diagonal grid, red underneath; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees and feet/footwear. Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round fish-like/amphibian/reptilian eyes. It constantly bares its teeth through a small mouth. Its crown is flat; and from its forehead emerges two raised levels, the front of which bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression. Epitaph is the pink-colored second face on King Crimson's forehead, duplicated in its same position on either Doppio's forehead. It creates images on the inside of its user's hair, and as such whenever active Doppio's bangs or Diavolo's hair is pulled forward and float, allowing the user to look in.
Its design is inspired by the character George, from the 1990 science fiction film Total Recall, who had a second face on his chest.[2]
King Crimson
Though somewhat limited by physical attack range, low durability and Diavolo's own personality, King Crimson is still an extremely dangerous Stand.
Erasing Time: King Crimson's signature ability is, to put it simply, literally skip time. To go into detail, it creates a space that deletes anywhere from .5 to 10 seconds worth of time with only Diavolo being able to maneuver in this realm of missing time, leaving only the results of actions that would've normally occurred. It is a common misunderstanding to say that things do occur in the realm of erased time, and people just don't remember their actions. The truth is, people don't seem to "remember", because all has been erased, and thus nothing has really happened. The final effect seems for others as though they have certainly completed the activity, because the results of the actions have already occurred: you've reached the top step, you've finished your meal, you're several more pages into the book than you were before. And, to people outside of the pocket of time, Diavolo appears to be teleporting. It is worth noting that King Crimson cannot directly interact with people during the time skip, because, as opposed to The World, what he sees are just projections of people, and not people themselves. He can however, setup his attacks by throwing items towards the place the enemy will end up in.
The primary use of the ability seems to be limited to mobility (readying a position from which to attack, creating sneak attacks, "teleporting") and defense (skipping the impact of attacks, thus preventing wounds) as Diavolo is never seen attacking during this pocket of missing time. This allows Diavolo to dodge things that could otherwise wound or kill him, such as Aerosmith's bullets or a fist, which can often continue on as if he wasn't standing there at all. King Crimson also has mundane uses that Diavolo exploits to preserve his identity, ranging from a fast clean-up of a heavily littered room to simple scare tactics. It's never explained in the manga proper if Diavolo can attack during this time-frame, as the most on the offensive side he's done is carry someone and splash blood in another's face.
The world of erased time changes from medium to medium; in the manga, the world is displayed with objects badly superimposed over their current self in all ways that they could move during the time frame, in a fashion akin to Nude Descending a Staircase, and at times the environment tears itself apart into a void filled with debris. In his first game, it simply slows opponents down, while in his second game appearance, the time-stalled world is largely red with a desolate cracked ground and enemies cannot move an inch until he attacks (which automatically breaks the spell).
There are three key weaknesses to King Crimson, but Diavolo has had his Stand long enough to understand ways to get around them. The first is that its physical attack range is only slightly longer than Diavolo's, but due to its ability this isn't often a problem. The second is that Diavolo could easily be found out if the fight is not one-on-one due to there being multiple people to keep track of; Diavolo, as such, opts only for one-on-one fights and, if forced, will begin using sneak attacks and the element of surprise. Finally, the third is that King Crimson's ability duration is dependent on Diavolo's stamina, as during the battle with Risotto Nero, he admitted that the iron-deficient and tired state he was currently in prevented him from stopping time for more than an instant; as such, he tends or tries to make his fights short.
Prediction: From up to ten seconds, Epitaph gives Diavolo and Doppio the ability to see into the future through creating images on the inside of their bangs. The image produced includes the general area with Doppio/Diavolo as the main focus, allowing either of them to see what happens around them as well as directly at them. The prediction of the next ten seconds, according to Diavolo, cannot be avoided but can have steps taken to steer it in a new direction - such as when Doppio realized a pair of scissors would form inside his throat, he easily tore them out in order to save himself.
Doppio is the only one generally given Epitaph, but Diavolo is aware of how to use it and how long it lasts. It's unknown if Doppio can summon it himself or whether it's limited by Diavolo's permission. Doppio can also use King Crimson's arms as his own, primarily the right arm. The sub-stand is entirely defense and reaction-based, and it can be assumed that it's how Diavolo uses it to predict how his opponents move and thus how to attack them accordingly. So far, only the ability of Gold Experience Requiem has been shown to bypass Epitaph and it does not seem to be affected by its user's stamina.
- In the western release of All-Star Battle, King Crimson is renamed as "Emperor Crimson", while Epitaph is renamed to "Eulogy". The first one is likely intended to be a pun due to Diavolo's statements that he "will be emperor", while an epitaph is an encarving on a gravestone and a eulogy is a speech delivered at a funeral.
- Much like DIO's "Time is frozen"/"And time resumes", Diavolo has his own phrases to go along with King Crimson's abilities: "Time has been erased" for when he activates the ability and "Time goes on again" for when he deactivates it.
- Due to the paradoxical nature of King Crimson, combined with poor fan translations, "It just works" is the most common answer to how King Crimson works in the Western fandom. Noticeably, the JoJo video games that include Diavolo as a playable or in-game character have different interpretations:
- In Vento Aureo (PS2), the time erase was shown to slow down the opponent's actions while Diavolo still moves at normal speed for the duration of the obliterated time, a mechanism similar to Made in Heaven's time acceleration abilities.
- In All-Star Battle, it acts similar to The World - through a counter, Diavolo creates a skipped time space in which he is free to move about and the opponent is frozen in space, but by attacking the opponent, the spell is broken. King Crimson also acts as his dash and Epitaph can be activated to allow Diavolo instant dodging without taking out his guard meter.
- In Eyes of Heaven, Diavolo becomes invisible to his opponents while time is being skipped, causing the player to gradually lose stamina. The other characters will still move in the "skipped time". Furthermore, the Epitaph ability Diavolo had in All-Star Battle allowing him to dodge instantly after getting attacked returns in the form of a skill (assigned to the Square button).

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In my many travels I have come across a woman or better yet a company call ed Opt2web, and its owner Jennifer Kovacs. I am glad to have come across this woman and her company for web design as I will use them both as an example of bad work ethics, shady operations and using religion to cover up her ethics on business and even spamming sites like Yelp for her own personal gain.
It appears this woman may have more than one run in with clients generating bad reviews about her online. Now keep in mind anyone can write anything online about someone, OK moving along.
Jennifer Kovacs has apparently not only generated bad reviews but apparently lies online, as some of her other negative reviews have showcased. Jennifer Kovacs apparently prides her self in
what she apparently calls good work ethics, however hides behind her negative reviews by hiding behind The Cavalry Church located down there in Florida. [continued below]....
Jennifer Kovacs claims she never writes any bad reviews, according to Yelp, yet while on Yelp when you view her profile She write two negative reviews to places she goes all the time. Now
surely she doesnt do this to get freebies right? It may appear so. Now again not believing everything you read online to be true, this is just an observation I have made of Opt2web and the negative reviews generated and negatives Jennifer Kovacs writes about others online.
After carefully looking at her reviews, apparently she has a lack of patience for foreigners too, as she makes reference to getting upset at a woman for not speaking a lick of English This
is in reference to her trip at a nail salon, which she apparently knew English
was not the primary language, but it appears Jennifer went there anyways. She
also uses the words such as annoyed etc. It appears that Jennifer Kovacs
irritated this woman doing her nails, Jennifer Kovacs actually wrote that this
woman doing her nails was annoyed.. I wonder what Jennifer Kovacs actually said
or did to annoy this poor woman doing her nails?
Apparently she bad mouthed another company, if you read her reviews It may seem Jennifer Kovacs is impatient, or more so a short fuse, one in which I would not want any internet help with, as her
company offers.
She even ends with a directed warning to one business review, which actually appears to be like a threat in my opinion, but then again maybe she is trying to get freebies? Jennifer Kovacs from
Opt2web ends the statement on a review with: Word to the wise, treat the locals
that are frequenting your restaurant well, especially when most of the other
businesses in the area talk about how overly priced your food is
Now I dont know about you, but that sounds like a threat.
From what I read online on reviews, it appears her attitude is the same across
the board with her clientele and people she apparently does business with. In my
opinion, I would not want to conduct any business with Jennifer Kovacs or Opt 2
It appears she is using her reviews only for the sole purpose of driving business to her site at the expense of her belittling other business, not good work or business ethics in my opinion. An example of this is that in one of her reviews, Jennifer makes sure to include her company and her
web address so people can click through. Now this does not seem like very good
business ethics now does it? Would you want to do business with someone that
publicly projects themselves in this manner?
It appears she is a complainer, and may even appear like
someone that just wants her way or possibly have an impatient attitude it may
seem. This is someone that writes negative reviews on others, while promoting
her website at their expense, not good if you ask me.
In closing her negative reviews that she posts about others online may be a direct indication to how she runs her business. It is apparent she is using negative reviews to only further
herself. This is evident by her promoting her business three times on her
profile on Yelp and negative reviews that she writes on other people. After
reviewing what others have wrote about Opt2web online on other sites, it is
apparent that her attitude on Yelp directly reflects her business ethics.
People even went so far to to write that her work she delivers is horrible, and
even rips people off. Now again anyone can write a bad review and one should
not believe everything on the web but the negative reviews on Jennifer Kovacs,
seem to be tied in to her attitude and may be true after all according to
complaints on her. The complaints may even be from a disgruntled client or
former employee, but her attitude on her reviews is crystal clear on Yelp. I
know what I choose to believe, you need to decide what to believe.
Florida can keep Jennifer Kovacs down there, The Calvary Church
can keep her to, Onward Christian Soldier!

In a series of battles, he earns wealth and honor for his men and his king, as well as fame and admiration for himself. But it is in rescuing his daughters from their ill-suited marriages that the Cid faces the ultimate challenge to the medieval heroic ideal.
