Cross, Sign Of
"God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Galatians, 6:14
In April of 1945 American artillery in the town of Siegburg, Germany, was shelling a nearby village, in which there were about 20 German soldiers. The natives were in constant danger of being hit by bullets from either side. Toward evening of April 12 the people persuaded the German soldiers to cease fire.
Next morning the village priest carried a white flag to the American outpost to inform the commander that the German soldiers had gone and the civilian population had no desire to resist further. Instructions were given to fly white flags from all the houses.
The question uppermost in the minds of the towns-people was: How will the Americans treat us? They had heard terrible tales of cruelty on the part of the Russians. How would these conquerors act?
The Americans began a thorough search for weapons and German soldiers. Two soldiers armed with pistols came to a certain three-room home. They stopped short in the living room before a hand-carved family altar. Into the bedroom they went, to find there a beautiful crucifix.
The soldiers noticed the cross. They stopped, took off their steel helmets, changed their automatics from right hand to left, and respectfully made the sign of the cross. As a member of the family related, the members of that household feared no longer.
Yes, the sign of the cross is the salute of the true follower of Christ whether he is conqueror or conquered, whether he is German, Chinese, American or Australian. It is the countersign of the Christian. In particular, it is the special salute of the Catholic.
The sign of the cross is one of the most important and one of the most frequently used of the sacramentals. It is the sacred sign first taught to the feeble fingers of the child at its mother's knee; it is the sacred sign traced by the faltering fingers of the dying Catholic. From birth to death it is the holy sign, the holy ceremony that continually reminds the Catholic of the source from which all spiritual blessings comethe cross.
The two most common forms of this sacramental are the large sign of the cross made by touching the forehead, the breast, and the left and right shoulders. The cross thus covers the bodyat least the most important membersthe head and heart. The smaller sign of the cross is traced upon the forehead, lips, and breast.
1 Why do we make the sign of the cross?
2. The uses of this sacred sign in the Catholic Church are practically without limit:
Let me quote the instructive words of St. Gaudentius:
"Let the sign of the cross be continually made on the heart, on the mouth, on the forehead, at table, at the bath, in bed, coming in and going out, in joy and sadness, sitting, standing, speaking, walkingin short, in all our actions. Let us make it on our breasts and all our members, that we may be entirely covered with this invincible armor of Christians."
An indulgence of 100 days is granted for making the sign of the cross and saying the words. An indulgence of 300 days for making the sign of the cross, with holy water.
A love and devotion toward this sacred sign is the mark of a true follower of Christ. Just as it identified those two American soldiers as genuine Catholics, so the sign of the cross will identify you. Use it frequently, use it thoughtfully, use it lovingly. It will bring you countless blessings. Amen.

The Sign Of The Cross
A logical place to start, since it is a very ancient Christian habit, is to begin and end prayers with the sign of the cross. Yet the only recognizable biblical reference is in Matthew 28:19 when Our Lord tells His apostles, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
The practice of making the sign of the cross dates back to at least the second century. It was said to recall the blood of the lambs marked on Jewish doorposts in Egypt on the night of the Passover (Ex. 12:7) and to foreshadow the seal set on the foreheads of the saints in heaven. One of the earliest references to the sign of the cross is found at the end of the second century in these words of Tertullian: "at every forward step and movement, at every going in and out, when we put on our clothes and shoes...in all the ordinary actions of everyday life, we trace the sign" (of the cross). Whether such diligent self-crossing was generally observed is impossible to tell, but it does illustrate the importance that the early Church attached to the cross. Another important thread is drawn out by Saint Thomas Aquinas who said: "by making use of bodily signs of humility, our desire to submit ourselves to God is aroused."
So, how does the above apply to us in the present day and age? When we make the sign of the cross, it is a reminder of our baptism. It also brings to mind the general vocation that we as Catholics are called to, as illustrated in the rite for adult baptism when the priest signs the recipient with the cross saying:
"Receive the cross of Christ on your forehead. Christ Himself will guard you by this sign of love. Learn to know and follow that cross...Receive the cross on your breast, that by your faith Christ may find a dwelling place in your heart. Receive the sign of the cross on your shoulders so that you take on the sweet yoke of Christ. I sign you in your whole being 'in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit' that you may have life in eternity."
Let us not underestimate this "sign of love," for when we reverently make the sign of the cross, it is not only a confession of faith. It is also a reminder of the price that Christ paid for our healing and redemption so that we can call God "Abba! Father!" and eventually come into His presence in the glory of the kingdom of heaven.

Published by Our Sunday Visitor Press
The making of the sign of the cross, professing faith both in the redemption of Christ and in the Trinity, was practiced from the earliest centuries. St. Augustine (d. 430) mentioned and described it many times in his sermons and letters. In those days, Christians made the sign of the cross (Redemption) with three fingers (Trinity) on their foreheads. The words "In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost" were added later. In the third century, Tertullian had already reported this touching and beautiful early Christian practice: "In all our undertakingswhen we enter a place or leave it; before we dress; before we bathe; when we take our meals; when we light the lamps in the evening; before we retire at night; when we sit down to read; before each new taskwe trace the sign of the cross on our foreheads" (Weiser, p. 256).

In the Name of the Father . . .[The Sign of the Cross]
The ignorance here is astounding...There is no sacred sign of a true follower (disciple) of Jesus Christ...
Love and devotion to a 'sacred sign' is idolotry...
The sign of the cross may stand for something for a Catholic or it may be a way to attract attention to show yourself off as being religious...
Like the story says, you teach it to babies who don't have a clue what it means...
Out of one side of the mouth you say it is the sign of a true follower of Christ, and out of the other side of the mouth you then claim you teach it to babies who don't know Jesus Christ...
The hatred here is astounding. Jesus said love one another.
"you then claim you teach it to babies who don't know Jesus Christ..."
Christ knows them. He knows them from before their conception. He creates them.
When we get right down to it, we are all ignorant, except for those areas where we might actually know something...
Personally, I'm not upset with folks giving the sign.
Though if it is employed as a talisman or due to superstitious belief, then it is arguable that using "it" in that manner, even the idea of the cross itself, could be in vain.
One the other hand, as the article suggests, if used as reminder of the Cross and the the Oneness of the Trinity, then it might serve to help those present at such "sign language" events to focus upon the Lord.
I cannot help but to think that can be beneficial. "As the serpent was raised up in the wilderness, so must the son of man be", as it is written that Christ said, although I do here paraphrase the quote somewhat.
When we look intently to Him, the tide of the battle turns His Way, placing us under His banner.
Where else would we wish to be? I've tried wandering around in the wilderness myself. It's been a long while since the children of Israel passed through killing off all the badgers they could find (as they were instructed to do by Moses).
The badger population is on the rebound, now. Ferocious little critters...one is in for a world of hurt when stumbling around in the dark, and stepping in one of their "holes".
Here in these last few paragraphs I've been speaking another kind of sign language. Do you understand the lingo?
You're trying to create a crutch...It's like calling someone who is against illegal immigration a racist...
I displayed no hate...I'm just willing to call a spade a spade, and reveal a hoax or a con-job when I see one...It is so blatant that for someone to repeat the con-job, they must be in on it as well...
And Jesus created the birds, and rust...So what has that got to do with the conversation or topic??? Does that prove that you 'true Christians' show the proof of being 'true Christians' by giving the sign of the cross???
Like I said, a hoax...
With regards to the second part, how would one know? Wouldn't making that call be unjust, to say the least?
Out of one side of the mouth you say it is the sign of a true follower of Christ, and out of the other side of the mouth you then claim you teach it to babies who don't know Jesus Christ...
A child must be lead in all things...
You act as if it were the ONLY proof.
It takes a real Protestant to protest the sign of the cross.
Seeking an Eastern perspective ping! ;-)
No, I act as if it's no proof at all...
Thanks GonzoII
What a sweet gift the sacramentals are!
My favorite would be the signing of the cross with holy water and offering it to the Holy Souls. Be still my heart! Power-packed with a soft mist of graces.
The more the soul loves, the more it desires to love, and the greater its suffering, the greater its healing.
St. Columban
You're welcome; and BUMP for the holy water!
Damnant quod non intellegunt
Thank you for the thread. Next time — make it a Catholic caucus so we can appreciate it in peace.
"And Jesus created the birds, and rust..."
Christ created everything, but He only created man with an immortal soul.
You'll find that the anti-Catholic hatred in some is so powerful, they find themselves compelled to lie in wait for Catholic threads where they can spew their venom.
A perfect preface for your post.
The story doesn't say that.
Mind-reading (unsuccessful).
Thanks, GonzoII.
I've never figured out why a sign or gesture that accompanies the words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" would invoke such vitriol. And, yes, it is taught at the dinner table from the time we are about two, but so are a lot of things.
No hatred, no venom Petronski...Just pointing out some of the false information your religion puts out to persuade people into believing you are the one true church...
Amazing and revealing that you would identify yourself with that profile.
No one believes I am the one true church.
It's because the Sign of the Cross does not fit in their own personal interpretation of Scripture and, you must remember, THEY ARE RIGHT! donchaknow...
Disagreement with such a person is a scam and if you disagree with them, you are in on it [cue sinister music].
Satan hates the cross in all its forms. The Church has known this for a long, long time:
Let us, therefore, not be ashamed of the Cross of Christ; but though another hide it, do thou openly seal it upon thy forehead, that the devils may behold the royal sign and flee trembling far away. Make then this sign at eating and drinking, at sitting, at lying down, at rising up, at speaking, at walking: in a word, at every act.
St. Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem (d. A.D. 386)
Rev. 7:
After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying: Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Christians in the church age don't need a physical sign...Jesus knows us and we know Him...
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
But the issue isn't making the sign of the Cross, is it...The issue is your religion claiming that 'true Christians' are known as those you make the sign of the Cross...And that's bunk...
I read this article and thought it would be enjoyed by all Christians. Was I wrong! The sign was used by early Christians and so it does not bother me. I think some need to really ask if they really love Christ or do they just hate those damn katlicks.
Crux sacra sit mihi lux, non draco sit mihi dux.
So you say.
The Sign of the Cross is a physical sign to all the world as well as to ourselves and God.
The issue is your religion claiming that 'true Christians' are known as those you make the sign of the Cross...And that's bunk...
Again, such is your opinion, for what it is worth.
Were you?
How deliciously appropriate!
As Tertullian wrote, they do this whenever they think of Christ or whenever thanks are made to him. Like fasting, it is a prayerful act, something believers do to honor or, or give gratitude to God.
Praying aloud, singing to God, or reading the Scriptures is no different. Protestants, who lift their hands in the air and sway them back and forth, are doing the same thing as long as it is not something "Catholic."
Public prayer is just as "Pharisaical" as making public signs of the cross. There is no hypocrisy in crossing oneself and it is the most appropriate gesture one can do, at a moment, when one needs to "put on Christ" It is no different than saying "Halleuijah" or "Praise the Lord!"
Arguments by Protestants that it is idolatry are as ridiculous as the rest of the Protestant protests. Their treatment of the Bible is no less "idolatrous."
The Gospels teach humility and, consistent with that, that the expression of faith should not be boisterous and hypocritical. Jesus taught that we should pray in private, dark rooms, not public places. That's why all Orthodox homes have a prayer corner in a remote part fo the house.
Yet the Protesters want public prayers, at football games and schools. Our Congress has a chaplain who leads public prayer. In the military, chaplains lead public prayers at various non-religious ceremonies. Many public events are preceded by a public prayer.
All these things are exactly the opposite of what Christ taught. Public prayer is proper only in church, the true home to every Christian.
If God can hear us in silence and knows what we are thinking, no words need be spoken, no gestures made, and that would include the Cross. But Mark's Great Commission (Ch. 16) mentions signs of true believers, so argments that signs are "idoaltrous" are ubliblical. The Bible if full of signs.
But, most importantly, man is an expressive and artstic being, endowed with talents, so people sing, wave, lift their hands, bow, kneel, prostrate and make signg of the cross in their expression of worship and prayer.
Clearly, the Catholic and Apostolic Church found it much harder to make the sign of a fish that so many Portesters sport on their cars, and found the sign of the cross a more appropriate and relevant symbol of the Christian faith.
It is what the early Church did and it is the unbroken tradition of the one true Church. Protestants in their own misery will invent any other kind of gestures so long as it is not what the Catholic Church does. Truly pathetic but consistent.
Yet even the Orthodox have processions outdoors too.
They are not prayers.
They don't pray during processions?
In other words, you need to go to church in order to pray (or at least a dark back room).
Do you need to go to a funeral home to die?
That verse doesn't make your argument, does it?
I forgot that word Real as in real Christians.
No, they sing and chant.
Christ says no public prayer. Take it up with the higher authority.
Do you need to go to a funeral home to die?
Why don't you think before you hit the send button.
Well, one would guess that the singing and chanting consist of prayer written by saints or taken from Scripture. (Sorry if I'm being persistent.) ;-)
What Bible you reading? Neither of those are in there.

"Waking at Night" by Amelia B. Winkler (Finishing Line Press, 2013, $14)
Amelia B. Winkler's "Waking at Night" is an intimate collection of poems that explore the ups and downs of daily life.
In this first book, Winkler tackles the notion of identity and writes of multiple selves. She is simultaneously grandmother, ex-wife, poet and actor as well as a lover of fine art. Each of the poems in "Waking at Night" presents us with scenes from her raw and beautiful life and leaves us feeling refreshed by her honesty, wit, and insight into the human condition.
Article Photos
The title poem, "Waking at Night," is the first poem in the book. The poem opens with her problem with insomnia, a problem she shares with an unknown person who lives across the street: "across the way/another insomniac paces/lights blazing." She then presents us with scenes from her life as they visit her in her sleepless state. She writes of holding her grandson in her arms, of a former time in life when she had a broken ankle, of another moment with her ex-husband, and concludes with the moment of meeting a new man and being able to speak only of her ex-husband. She concludes these insomniac musings by stating "how I crave to relive this scene/given who I have become."
In "Jubilate Honda," Winkler changes modes and writes of the purchase of a new car. In a subsequent poem, "The Divorcee's Aubade," she reveals her sensual side as she writes of having a lazy morning in bed by herself: "How I love to lie in bed/basking in the richness of time." She laments the fact that there is no one to share the bed with her: "The only thing missing/is another next to me." In a later humorous poem, "Just Looking," she attempts to rectify the situation of being a single woman by putting on her prettiest sweater and matching jewelry to go grocery shopping where a handsome man does indeed notice her.
Winkler becomes more reflective and serious in the poem "Sitting on the Porch Steps at My Daughter's House in Red Rock, New York." She describes the nature she is able to appreciate from this vantage: "Looking up, I see a flock of starlings homing./Clouds seem pasted on the blue sky..." She then describes how her grandson Toby is sitting beside her. The moment is so satisfying that she concludes the poem with the declaration: "I have not wasted my life."
In the long poem "The Sound of Snow," Winkler explores her experience with hearing loss. In section I she defines the silence due to deafness:
but silence...
silence is lying in bed listening,
listening and hearing only the sound of snow
falling early one winter morning,
the cat landing on his padded paws.
In section XII she then reflects on how she will soon learn "if I am a fit candidate/for cochlear implant." This is an operation "that lets the deaf hear/where there was no sound/before."
In the concluding poems of the chapbook, Winkler demonstrates her knowledge of art and literature. "The Love Goddess" pays tribute to Botticelli's famous painting of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. "Blixen in Copenhagen" is a poetic encapsulation of Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa. "The Collector" is a contemporary reworking of the Robert Browning poem "My Last Duchess." In "The Collector," the speaker is no longer the cold-hearted Duke of the Robert Browning poem but a collector of fine art. These concluding poems demonstrate that Winkler is skilled not only with her own autobiography but with persona poems that give life to other speakers.
Whether she is writing of art or life, literature or self, Winkler achieves an aesthetic purity which causes us to appreciate the simple beauty of our own lives even more. The poems in "Waking at Night" dazzle as they illuminate. Winkler's book offers both wisdom and beauty to anyone who dares to journey with her.
Sonja James is the author of "Baiting the Hook" (the Bunny & the Crocodile Press, 1999), "Children of the Moon" (Argonne House Press, 2004), and "Calling Old Ghosts to Supper" (Finishing Line Press, 2013).

What is in this article?:
- Clean water high court case poses threat to agriculture, timber operations
- Says no exemption
• "Farming today is increasingly risky, and more and more we're having to worry about our neighbors. We know we have a great story in U.S. agriculture. These things are bothersome and nettlesome, but we're going to have to contend with them, and we're going to have to do a better job of educating our non-farm neighbors."
More About:
A case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court "is indicative of another attempt by environmentalists to run you out of business," Washington, D.C., attorney Gary Baise told farmers attending the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation's annual commodity conference.
Baise, an Illinois farmer who is a principal with the Olson Frank Weeda Terman Matz Law Firm and has 30 years in government and private practice, says the case brought by the Northwest Environmental Defense Center originated in Oregon and had it been successful "would have shut down most logging in the Northwest."
And he says, it has potentially far-reaching ramifications not only for timber interests in Mississippi and elsewhere, but also for animal and row crop agriculture.
He represents agriculture clients that producers and ag organizations, in cases involving the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and other regulations.
The issue in the Oregon case involved a lawsuit by an environmental organization claiming that rain runoff from logging roads constitutes a threat to fish, vegetation, and other wildlife that could be miles downstream from the original source, and asking that runoff from logging operations be subject to the same Clean Water Act rules as industrial storm water and that loggers be required to obtain discharge permits for culverts, ditches, and other water-channeling measures.
A federal appeals court upheld the environmental group's petition, but timber companies and state officials asked the high court to intervene.
Under CWA rules, Baise says, "If you have water that is channeled into a ditch next to your logging road and install culvert so you can cross that ditch, it becomes a point source under the Clean Water Act, meaning you have to have a permit.
"And it gets worse: EPA is now imputing and writing Best Management Practices on how you must run your operation. Those BMPs will then commented upon by the environmental and public interest groups.
"The permitting process alone would put you, and me, out of business. It could be applied to any of us in agriculture — any storm water runoff from your property would have to be permitted."
For 35 years, the Clean Water Act has contained exemptions for water runoff from farms and timberland, Baise says. "The Agriculture Storm Water Runoff Exemption and the Silviculture Water Runoff Exemption say that, unlike sewage treatment plants and industrial operations, we don't need to have to a Clean Water Act permit.

Most places it's 8 decks, except Borgata where it's 6. I hope you're going during the week, otherwise you'll have a hard time finding $10 tables. Best bet is weekday mornings. Oh, and it's not an out of line question. Good luck!

Clemson true freshman Jordan Leggett, competing to start at tight end, injured his MCL during Wednesday morning's practice. The team announced late Wednesday night he will miss 3-4 weeks, meaning he won't be available for the opener against Georgia but will not need season-ending surgery.
"We are 2-for-2 in recent injuries that could have been serious," said head coach Dabo Swinney, referring to last week's knee injury to rookie returner T.J. Green. "We are fortunate we will have Jordan back early in the season."

Fees charged for entering Ottawa County parks will be going up for the first time in five years.
The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners voted this week to approve the new park fees, which are expected to raise an additional $60,000 to $70,000 for the Parks Department next year. Fees generated $307,000 this year for the Parks Department.
Daily fees to use the parks that charge an entrance fee will rise from $4 to $5 for county residents and $6 to $7 for others. Annual rates will go up from $12 to $15 and $24 to $25 for the same groups.
Motor vehicle parking fees are collected at North Beach Park, Kirk Park,Tunnel Park, and the Rosy Mound Natural Area from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
The vote was not unanimous as one commissioner expressed his opinion that the fees were going up too fast and may not reflect the needs of residents. "Why do we need separate fees for seniors?," asked Robert Karsten, of Zeeland. Karsten was the only commissioner to vote against increasing fees. Commissioner Jane Reiter, of Spring Lake, was absent.
Parks and Recreation Director John Scholtz said the move to increase rates was to insure users valued the parks. "We looked at what other counties were charging users to enter their parks and found that we were charging significantly less," he said. "We try to balance paying for park operations from the park millage and user fees and think that the new fee structure better reflects the balance needed."
Karsten's beef was about senior citizens who are residents of the county, being able to purchase an annual vehicle permit for just $7, which did not change in the new fee structure. "Why do we need this special rate for seniors?" he asked to no response.
Karsten admitted that he, himself, qualifies for the reduced rate but had never taken it. Scholtz said that the senior annual pass was sold to about 150 Ottawa County seniors this year.
Fees for using the shelters and lodges will rise an average of $10. Daily fees to launch boats at Riverside Park will stay at $5.

Former SeaWolves pitcher gets another chance with Mets
Cody Satterwhite was on the fast track in the Detroit Tigers minor league system.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft and promoted twice in his first season.
After making 34 appearances with the Erie SeaWolves in 2009, everything fell apart for the flamethrower.
Satterwhite missed all of 2010 with shoulder injuries and made just eight appearances in the Gulf Coast League in 2011 before more shoulder problems shut him down.
He missed the 2012 season and went to independent baseball in 2013 with Sioux City.
"It's been a journey and I think it's helped me out, blessed me a lot and humbled me a lot," Satterwhite said. "To be out of baseball a year then go the indy ball route and then get an opportunity with the New York Mets is truly a blessing."
The Mets found Satterwhite pitching for Sioux City and signed him to a minor league deal in July 2013. After going 2-2 with a 2.78 ERA in 16 appearances in Class A St. Lucie, Satterwhite was promoted to Double-A Binghamton this season.
"I think the journey makes you strong and teaches you a lesson," Satterwhite said. "To be out of baseball, it gets you hungry to get back to the game. You make every pitch count because you don't know when it'll be your last."
Satterwhite went 4-6 with a 3.47 ERA with 52 strikeouts to 28 walks in 34 appearances with Erie in 2009. He was a hard-throwing pitcher who relied on fastballs blowing by hitters. After his shoulder problems, Satterwhite has learned a different way to pitch.
"As you get older, it doesn't matter how hard you throw," Satterwhite said. "I think it helps to throw hard, but everyone can hit a fastball. You have to learn to keep hitters off balance and be able to locate your pitches. I have to rely on making the ball move now and throw off-speed for strikes."
Satterwhite, 27, impressed the Mets enough to be sent to the Arizona Fall League last season. With Binghamton this year, Satterwhite is 3-1 with a 1.49 ERA and 46 strikeouts to 17 walks in 33 games. He earned his seventh save of the season Sunday in a 5-4 win over Erie.
With his shoulder healthy and a humbled approach, Satterwhite is appreciating just being in the clubhouse with his teammates and being able to continue a career he thought he lost several times.
"I look back and it's all about the guys you are with," Satterwhite said. "Back in 2009 we had Alex Avila and Andy Dirks, and guys like that are up in the big leagues. It's special, and now I'm around more great guys with the Mets. You gain friendships and that makes this memorable."

Inspired by the elements of nature, Tuscan style interiors create warm and inviting spaces. The visual appeal of these rooms lies in the exposed wood beams and decorative archways to the rustic brick walls and stone floors. I love how this combination of materials focuses on the colors and textures of nature. Here are a few of my favorite rooms from rustic to refined in the Tuscan style of interior design.
Gathering inspiration for a bedroom re-do resulted in these gorgeous room finds. As a graphic designer I lean towards strong lines and patterns and love how the rooms below highlight these in their designs. The mixes of textures tie these rooms together creating an "orderly" coziness I crave. Adding an ornate object with traditional style creates a clean modern look I am looking for in my own design. Top Interior Designers like Kelly Wearstler and Suzanne Kasler have inspired me when defining my own sleep style. Whose design sense do you admire?

Neoseeker : Movies : Documentary : Walt & El Grupo
Walt & El Grupo
- Directed by Theodore Thomas
===Story=== "Walt Disney goes South American," proclaimed the lobby poster for the 1942 film ''Saludos Amigos''. It was an era when Washington called on Hollywood to help shore up relations between the Americas, and the film was the outcome of a trip Disney and a handpicked mini-studio made to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and other nations of the region at the request of the U.S. government. It was also a time that Disney would later recall as "the toughest period I've had in my whole life." His studio was going through great difficulties, the Roosevelt administration had growing concerns about Nazi and Fascist influence in Latin America, and the entire world was slipping further into war. On the trip, while gathering story material and befriending fellow artists, Disney and "El Grupo" as they were called, were also embarked on a de facto diplomatic mission, and ''Saludso Amigos'' carried the expectation of being an offering of inter-American friendship. It is a story that still resonates on both sides of the equator. Drawing from personal letters and artwork from the trip, remembrances by descendants and survivors, and archival footage that provides a candid and never-before-seen glimpse of Disney and his artists, ''Walt & El Grupo'' time travels through five nations to capture a story that is both a tale of making art in a time of war, and a geo-political saga that has pressing relevance to our own times. ===DVD Features===

2. TVET formal, non-formal and informal systems
Scheme compiled by UNESCO-UNEVOC.
Formal TVET system
According to the COTVET website, in 2006/2007 there were 440 TVET providers in Ghana, of which 188 were public and 252 private. According to the OECD (2008), there were 440 public and 500 private TVET institutions in 2007.
Upon completing junior secondary school, young people can choose to continue their studies in higher secondary level by attending one of the following: senior high school (SHS), secondary technical school or a technical institute. Access to the programmes on this level is based on the performance of the junior high school leavers that is reflected in a leaving certificate.
Graduates of secondary technical schools can proceed to universities and polytechnics, whereas those completing education in technical institutes can progress only to polytechnics or apprenticeships. Young people who did not have an opportunity to complete secondary education can choose from a range of apprenticeships and other training programmes.
By completing a Pre-technical/Craft Course followed by General Technical/Craft Course (both lasting for 2 years) in a technical institute and receiving a certificate of City and Guilds (CGLI), a student may enter a study programme in a polytechnic.
A 3- to 5-year Secretariat/Commercial Course provided by a technical institute leads to certificates awarded by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) or the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
A 3-year course in a Polytechnic leads to a Higher National Diploma (HND). With an additional 18-month programme, a Bachelor of Technology degree can be achieved. An Advanced Technician and Craft Certificate is awarded upon completion of a 2- to 3-year programme.
Students graduating from a polytechnic and receiving an HND may enter university and get a degree after a study course of 2 to 3 years.
Colleges of Education that train teachers for basic schools are also a part of tertiary education in Ghana. Graduates from senior high schools may enter a 3-year programme in a college of education and earn a diploma certificate.
Non-formal and informal TVET systems
Informal TVET is offered mostly through apprenticeships with master craftsmen. The duration of the apprenticeships can range between two to three and a half years. It is estimated that the longest apprenticeships (up to 3.5 years) are those in the building, mechanical and automotive sectors. The shortest apprenticeships tend to be in the visual and performance arts, fishing, hunting and forestry and other production-related trades (Ghana Statistical Service, 2008). Informal apprenticeships normally do not lead to formal certification or qualifications.
Non-formal training is provided mainly by community organisations and NGOs and can vary in format, but may include short courses and seminars that will not normally lead to a qualification.

3. Governance and financing
The key Government Ministry involved in policy- and decision-making in the TVET sector is the Ministry of Education (MoE), and to some degree the Ministries of Agriculture, Employment and Social Welfare, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, and the Ministry of Health and Environment. Within the MoE, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has the responsibility of implementing pre-tertiary education policies formulated by the Ministry.
The COTVET Act 718 (2006) mandates the Council to formulate policies for skills development across the broad spectrum of pre-tertiary and tertiary education (formal, informal and non-formal). The Council also has the mandate to ensure quality in the delivery of access to technical and vocational education and training, and to facilitate research and development in technical and vocational education and training.
The overall goals of the Council are to ensure that unemployed, particularly youth, are given competitive, employable and entrepreneurial skills within the formal and informal sectors, and that graduates coming out of formal, informal and non-formal TVET institutions are endowed with employable and entrepreneurial skills.
The goals and objectives of the Council are coordinated and implemented through several standing committees and a Secretariat.
The National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI), established in 1970, has as a mission to provide demand-driven employable skills and enhance the income-generating capacities of basic and secondary school leavers through competence-based apprenticeships, master craftsmanships, testing, and career development. The NVTI operates 38 vocational centres all over the country that provide training opportunities in 28 skill areas.

5. Qualifications and qualifications frameworks
Learners who successfully complete secondary technical school education can obtain a Senior High School Leaving Certificate. Students who successfully complete education in a technical institute can obtain awards from City & Guilds (a British Vocational education organisation offering a wide range of qualifications in different industry sectors), the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (British multi-disciplinary institution) or the West African Examinations Council (a non-profit examination board that issues certificates for the exams it coordinates). Students who successfully complete polytechnic education can obtain a Higher National Diploma or an Advanced Technician and Craft Certificate. Higher National Diplomas can lead to Bachelor of Technology degrees. Some Universities also offer TVET qualifications in the form of sub-degree professional certificates and diplomas (City & Guilds & COTVET, 2011).
National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) Centres award Trade Test Certificates to students who have taken formal training routes and Proficiency Certificates to those who have not taken formal training routes, following success in appropriate tests. They also award ICT and secretarial qualifications.
National Qualifications Framework (NQF)
A TVET qualifications framework is currently being established, with the aim to improve progression routes of TVET graduates. It is being managed by COTVET, which established a Technical Committee in May 2009 for this purpose. One of the COTVET Standing Committees, the National TVET Qualification Committee (NTVETQC), took over the responsibility to review and establish the proposed Qualifications Framework.
The National TVET Qualifications Framework recommends 9 Levels. Level 1, covering the traditional apprenticeship, is the lowest and the least demanding. Level 9, the Doctorate in Technology, is the highest and most demanding.

Forensic audiologists could help civil trial
With the upcoming civil trial of Dr. James Corasanti on the horizon, I wish to point out what I believe to be a salient factor. From what I could glean from press coverage of the first trial, the jury appeared to believe that Corasanti did not know he hit someone and that, in effect, his expensive car was soundproof. That is impossible.
In order to be soundproof, a structure must exist on its own base. Even a room used to test hearing is not soundproof, but sound-treated.
If in fact his car was so sound-impenetrable, how could he hear a car horn, an ambulance, a police siren or a motorcycle? Was his car ever tested for the amount of outside noise admitted? Was the noise of the accident, reportedly perceived by several neighbors, and their distance ever measured? And was the noise level of the car hitting a person the weight mass of Alix Rice ever assessed?
I think it is important to realize that there are experts in the field of noise level determination who are routinely utilized in legal and civil trials. They are called forensic audiologists. I hope these experts serve a role in the civil trial.

A Hall Full of Cinema by Kauser Haider
In a bustling narrow road of Old Dhaka, Manoshi Cinema Hall invites cinema lovers with three shows a day. In recent years, the strong tradition of the cinema halls is diminishing due to several reasons such as cost cutting, improper maintenance, poor production of the films, emergence of new technologies like satellite TV channels, pirated DVDs etc. Even after all these obstructions, 72 years old Manoshi Cinema Hall becomes a 'house full' during weekends.
Once glazed with the traditional architecture of Old Dhaka, today, the building only preserves torn plaster walls and nearly broken chairs. Most of the audiences belong to lower-income group who prefer to watch action films. Along with its cinema lovers, drug addicts and prostitutes also come and merge in the actions. About 25 staffs work non-stop behind the curtain and some of them lodge inside the hall. It seems that the atmosphere of this place forms another cinema. While I was taking photographs, all these characters inside and outside screen amused me with their actions and reactions. This story is about the people of this magical atmosphere.

[caption id="attachment_107249" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Makaha Resort"][/caption]
Transformation is on my mind this week. I was thinking about the places that have supported me in a big aha moment, overcoming a deep-set fear, letting go of something or someone, taking a critical next step. This little thought process started today while I was driving to pick up my husband because he had to take his truck for repairs. Alone on the road, I started thinking about what it would be like to live in my car. What starts to play on my satellite radio but The Beach Boys' In My Room. Pure serendipity.
My room was transformational when I was a teenager. My car became one of my best transformational places when I got my first VW beetle in 1969. Since then, I have had all kinds of conversations with myself and God in my car. I've practiced speeches, screamed in despair, laughed and cried while alone on the road over the years. My car is not my favorite transformational place, though.
My favorite transformational place is Hawaii. The Hawaiian Islands envelope me in the luscious, fragrant, crazy beauty of life. Walking along Poipu Beach on Kauai, or on a path in the Koolau Mountains of Oahu, even around my old neighborhood of Manoa Valley was - and still is - always a rich and thoughtful experience. One of the most magical places I've ever been is a Makaha resort at the base of Oahu's Waianae Mountains. My first visit there was to attend a four-day experiential workshop. It was so transformational that I bolted and drove home to Honolulu before it ended. But in the month that followed, I kept thinking about what I had learned, what I had resisted about my learning and how I might change if I returned sometime. Naturally, I did return and that workshop became an important part of my life and being, completely transforming me and giving me the profound gift of lifelong friends and mentors. I went back to Makaha many times while I lived in Honolulu. Thinking about it now, I feel a divine sense of peace. And I'm craving a hot fudge sundae, which my "synergy sister," Ann, and I would always have for breakfast at Makaha.
Another special spot for me to grow was the little beach at the end of my street when I lived on an island in Newport Harbor. It was a real escape hatch where I could go and sit and think and sometimes drink a margarita. I would take my journal there and write for awhile before returning to my duties as a family caregiver. Listening to quacking ducks and dozens of halyards clanking against metal sailboat masts, taking in the smell of the saltwater and coconut sunscreen, watching pelicans dive for food, all served to transform a stressful day and bring me back to a simple place of gratitude and joy. I think I'll go back to that beach one afternoon next week because I know I have some transforming to do!
Do you have any special transformational places? Your bathtub? An outdoor symphony concert? Your art studio? Please let us know.

Great for dry macular degeneration
By BABS
from Spartanburg, SC
My husband has used this product since around 2002 or before to prevent his dry macular degeneration from getting worse. So far, so good and he is checked regularly. We also eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, especially spinach.
Take two capsules twice daily (preferably with morning and evening meals) or as directed by a Healthcare Professional.

MORE than 1,200 women pounded a borough park to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
Mighty-mums, gusty-grans and feisty friends took to Arrow Valley Park on Sunday (June 15) for the town's Race For Life Event.
The event, which is run in partnership with Tesco, calls on women to complete a series of 5k, 10k and Pretty Muddy runs, to raise money for the charity. This year's target is £80,000.
Tracey Duffy, Race for Life event manager for Redditch, said: "I want to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in Race for Life, and their supporters, as well as our heroic volunteers.
"It was a fantastic day, full of emotion, courage, tears and laughter as over 1,200 women joined forces to show cancer who's boss.
"Now I'm asking all the women who took part – and all the friends, family and colleagues who pledged to sponsor them – to transform their passion into progress by returning the money they've raised as soon as possible.
"Cancer Research UK doesn't receive any Government funding for its ground-breaking work. So every single individual contribution matters. It enables our researchers to help more men, women and children in Redditch survive this devastating disease. "

The sexual act of spitting/ejaculating into your partner's mouth. Then, the partner with the spit/semen, spits it down the first spitter's butthole.
I just ate hot cheetos, so I had a lot of spit in my mouth, so I asked my bitch if it was cool if I spit it in her mouth cuz she was thirsty. I was astonished when she asked if she could do some Repainting the Basement, but I obliged anyway, and it was worth it.

Organized on behalf of the Science, Technology and Medicine Interest Group of the Society for Medical Anthropology.
Talk of scientific and technological breakthroughs is a central trope in medicine, suggesting life and the future as objects that can be experimented and tinkered with. This session explores what the focus on scientific innovation and technical fix forecloses in medical inquiry and practice. As breakthroughs open new areas of research and intervention, they make others irrelevant and unthinkable. Which realities, practices, and styles of thought are relegated to "history," abandoned, or ignored through the emphasis on innovations in the medical sciences and in public health? What do such foreclosures tell us about current value systems in science and medicine, control, and human becomings?
We are interested in ethnographic accounts that can lend insight into the ways that new sciences and technologies "breakdown" (instead of breakthrough) institutions and social fields as they are created and used in particular circumstances. By looking at what and who is excluded or cordoned off by the valorization of the new, we can gain insights into the ethic and politics informing the expansion of experimental regimes. We can also publicly account for people and questions that remain unnoticed or are disenfranchised in struggles over what kinds of knowledge count as science and in the commercialization of knowledge. As innovations are associated with possibility, agency, and progress how do those outside of technological and scientific regimes become naturalized as sites of impossibility, stagnancy, designated to be only resources for innovation or intervention?
Finally, keeping with the general theme of "anthropological end/s" we encourage papers that turn this critical approach on what is lost on our own discipline. Does an anthropological emphasis on the "emergent" and the "new" risk reproducing the trope of scientific and technological progress and what might this foreclose? Which other research imagination and partnerships are called for?

KAHULUI - Three members of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents have thrown their support behind a proposed bachelor's degree in sustainable science and management and expressed hope that the degree will spring from Maui, where officials have developed such plans.
The regents - Kula businesswoman Teena Rasmussen, an at-large regent; retired Maui Judge Artemio C. Baxa, a Maui County regent; and retired UH professor Ramon de la Pena, of Kauai - responded positively to a Friday-morning presentation led by Joie Taylor, a faculty member at the University of Hawaii Maui College.
De la Pena told UH-Maui College officials: "Put the package together; you got my vote."
UH regents previously had approved two bachelor's degree programs for UH-Maui College. A third degree is in the works, with Taylor involved since she was hired some 18 months ago.
"There's a large potential for Maui to be a leader," Taylor said at a meeting of a subcommittee on community colleges. At their meeting held on the UH-Maui College campus, the three regents heard from students, faculty, program administrators and community supporters, such as Maui Memorial Medical Center Chief Nurse Executive Joanne Iritani and Jeanne Unemori Skog, president and chief executive officer of the Maui Economic Development Board.
John McKee, UH-Maui College vice chancellor of academic affairs, introduced a presentation on the proposed bachelor's degree in sustainable science and management. Taylor, who has studied and taught sustainability as it relates to science, led the presentation. She said universities - including Harvard and her alma mater, Cornell - have graduate-degree programs in sustainable science.
Taylor said the proposed bachelor's degree at UH would cover energy-production fundamentals, including distribution and management, water resources management, wastewater treatment and waste management.
Potential jobs for the holder of a degree in sustainable science and management would include environmental planner and environmental scientist, with more than 2,000 related jobs in Hawaii alone, according to Taylor.
She said nearly half of her 50 students in lower-division sciences at UH-Maui College showed serious interest in pursuing a bachelor's degree in sustainable science, if approved.
"I would like to see the Maui College at the center of offering this," Rasmussen said. She advised degree proponents, who might make a future presentation to the other regents, to define "sustainable" more clearly in the context of the proposed bachelor of science degree, and to emphasize potential jobs and reasons why Maui should be at the hub of the degree program.
"What the university doesn't want to do is create a sexy program that doesn't lead to jobs," Rasmussen said.
At Friday's meeting, UH-Maui College Chancellor Clyde Sakamoto said his staff is ready to discuss program details with other UH campuses that have expressed interest in offering studies that lead to the same degree.
He said the bachelor's degree program has "got to have a systemwide strategy" to be successful.
"What's critical is that the entire state come together, discuss this, strategize and pool resources. We need to take advantage of everything we have," Sakamoto said.
McKee said Friday's presentation was made to UH President MRC Greenwood earlier this week. Nevertheless, no date has been set for when the degree proposal might go before the entire Board of Regents.
"When you do bring it to the board, I would like to see it offered statewide. But I would like to see the lead start from here on Maui," Baxa said.
The Maui campus's first four-year degree - a bachelor's of applied science in applied business and information technology - was approved and accredited in 2007. That business degree emphasizes small- and medium-size business management, with a strong information-technology component.
A second degree - a bachelor's of applied science in engineering technology - was approved last year, with upper-division classes set to start this fall. The newer bachelor's degree provides curriculum and training in electronics, computers, optics, remote sensing and other technologies used in industry statewide.

TRENTON — The Yankees rehab carousel began to spin last night as the Thunder faced the Richmond Flying Squirrels at Arm & Hammer Park.
Shortstop Brendan Ryan, acquired by the Yankees last September, was in the lineup, batting second, in the Thunder's 8-1 romp in front of an announced crowd of 4,954.
Ryan had two hits in four at-bats and scored twice as Trenton remained in first place in the Eastern League's Eastern Division.
A pinched nerve during spring training in Tampa initially wouldn't allow his head to move.
The six-year major league veteran said he's feeling good and just has to get about a dozen at-bats before waiting for reassignment — hopefully for him a call to the Bronx.
"I've been having my own spring training,'' said Ryan, who played a few games with the Class-A Yankees in addition to taking cuts in extended spring training. "I'm extremely itchy; I've been restless.''
With Derek Jeter getting the majority of starts in New York, Ryan will obviously play a backup role.
Having hit under .250 in each of the past five years while playing for Seattle and St. Louis, Ryan is comfortable being slotted as a part-time player and defensive specialist.
"It shows I don't have to hit .360 on a daily basis to have an impact,'' he said.
Trenton took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Gary Sanchez belted a home run over the centerfield wall before a walk to Kyle Roller, a groundout and an error brought in the second.
Richmond cut the deficit in half in the fourth on a pair of doubles, but Trenton extended its lead in the sixth on a single by Ryan and a homer to left by Rob Segedin, then hits by Roller and Yeral Sanchez.
They tacked on three more in the seventh, loading the bases with no outs.
A 6-4-3 scored one, then Roller crushed a two-run HR to left that left the score 8-1.
Starting pitcher Graham Stoneburner threw his best game since being demoted from Triple-A. The 26-year-old righty went 5â innings, allowing four hits and the one run.
Ryan, 32, who signed a two-year contract last December, hit the ball hard every at-bat.
Asked if any of the younger players approached him for advice during batting practice, Ryan smiled and said, "I don't know if I'm the guy to offer hitting advice.''
Like all ballplayers, Ryan has struggled during his career. But making it to the majors proves he's persevered.
"You always want (problems) to be mechanical,'' he said. "You always want to have an answer. But it always comes down to just competing. It's that guy against you.
"You'd be surprised what can happen when you go up (to the plate) and say, 'This guy isn't gonna beat me.' That's all it is. You go back to Little League, when you didn't think anything and you just stuck your nose in there.''
Ryan felt like a Little Leaguer when he arrived at Yankee Stadium last September.
As he approached his empty locker, he couldn't help but notice the name plate to his left was Ichiro Suzuki, and to his right Jeter.
"I stepped back and took a picture,'' he admitted. "I had played with 'Ichi,' but it was kind of cool, with the captain.
"When I came (to New York) it was obviously a tough time for him,'' he said about Jeter. "He welcomed me, shook my hand, said 'good to see you; good to have you' — all the things you'd expect Derek Jeter to do. So that welcome was pretty cool.
"It's kind of a fraternity when you play the same position, there's always a, 'hello.' But you don't want to bother people. He's a superstar.''
Ryan recalled a visit to Yankee Stadium when he was struggling at the plate.
Jeter came over to him, in Ryan's words, "To try and cheer me up a little; (told me) keep your chin up. He even gave me some hitting advice.
"I thought that was the coolest thing ever.''
Like everyone on the Thunder, so would getting to New York.

IBF welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter said he doesn't "like" unbeaten Kell Brook of England "because I don't know him and I don't think that he deserves to fight me."
Porter (24-0-1, 15 knockouts) learned on Monday, nevertheless, that he and promoter Golden Boy have until July to make his second defense against Brook (32-0, 22 KOs), IBF President Daryl Peoples informed RingTV.com.
"The letter went out this morning. Porter needs to begin negotiations with Brook," said Peoples. "That's three months from now, so we're looking at July."
Golden Boy and Matchroom Sport, which handles Brook, have until May 21 to reach a deal, if not, a purse bid will be ordered, said Peoples.
"I'm excited to be able to get back into the ring in July. That's a blessing," said Porter, 26. "I just don't think that he's deserving of a mandatory fight. But we can fight and make money again as soon as we want to."
Peoples said that Porter Golden Boy, were granted an exception to make this past Saturday's clash with ex-titleholder Paulie Malignaggi, whom Porter had cut and bloodied beneath the left eye with the first jabe that he landed, and whom Porter dropped twice in the final round of a fourth-round knockout at The D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C.
"As far as fighting Kell Brook. I don't care. I don't like him because I don't know him," said Porter. "I don't think that he deserves to be fighting me, having never fought anyone big in the states or fought anyone of the caliber that I have fought."
RingTV.com has obtained the congratulatory letter to Golden Boy and Matchroom Sport.
"The IBF granted Golden Boy Promotions an exception of regulations for the Porter versus Malignaggi fight. One of the conditions of the exception is that the winner must fight the leading available contender within 90 days," read the letter, in part.
"The leading available contender is No. 1 Kell Brook. Brook is represented by Matchroom Sport…Negotiations should commence immediately and be concluded by May 21 2014. In the event that you are unable to come to an amicable agreement with Brook, the IBF will call for a purse bid."
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer informed RingTV.com in an e-mail on Monday that he planned to discuss Brook with Porter's advisor, Al Haymon.
The 27-year-old Brook has won four straight by knockout, and was last in the ring for last month's eighth-round stoppage of Alvaro Robles that had followed one in October in the fourth round over ex-beltholder Vyacheslav Senchenko, whom Brook floored twice.
Prior to Malignaggi, Porter was coming off a unanimous-decision win over Devon Alexander, during which he dictated a physical fight that left both fighters bleeding from cuts around their eyes in December.
Porter's victory ended Alexander's winning streak at four consecutive bouts since falling to Tim Bradley, who was dethroned as WBO 147-pound beltholder on April 12 by Manny Pacquiao after having won the belt from Pacquiao by split-decision in June 2012.
A former Manny Pacquiao sparring partner, Porter began his career with a 165-pound fight who has fought as a junior middleweight a few times.
"We came out of the ring against Paulie with no cuts, scars or bruises, so I'll probably go into the ring against Kell Brook and be even more vicious than I ever have. I'll be somewhat more vicious than I was against Paulie," said Porter.
"Because I watched the fight, too, and I said, 'Man, I was really vicious in this fight.' So Kell Brook does not have a walk in the park for this fight, at the least. If he feels that he's full of confidence and that he can beat me, then he's definitely got another thing coming."
A former junior middleweight managed and trained by his father, Kenny, Porter's victory over Alexander was preceded by last September's unanimous decision over ex-beltholder Diaz, with whom Porter had battled to a draw in December 2012.
"Paulie was like a cat burglar who just broke into somebody's house, and he was creeping across the floor, and he said, 'Oh, s–t,' there's a dog.' You don't want the floor to creek and wake the dog up, you know?" said Kenny Porter.
"But the problem, the owner of the house is always awake. I ain't never sleep, so I'm going to sick the dog on your ass anyway, and that's what I did in that fight. You don't have to do anything to stir Shawn up. I sicked him on him. That's what I do."
The Porters will vacation in the Bahamas this coming weekend before returning for the May 3 defense by RING and WBC 147-pound champion Floyd Mayweather against WBA counterpart Marcos Maidana at the MGM in Las Vegas, where the Porters live.
Kenny Porter said that he would like to land on the undercard of a planned fight between junior middleweights Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara that is slated for Showtime Pay Per View on July 12 at the MGM Grand.

Dabrowski's serves up great pierogi
At 4003 Main Street in Lawrence Park, next door to the Lawrence Park Dinor, is Dabrowski's Restaurant & Deli. It serves a full menu of breakfast and lunch all day. Although it's open only until 3 p.m. during the week, Dabrowski's has a dinner section that's full of traditional Polish favorites.
Amanda got the two pierogi dinner with a side of coleslaw. There are seven varieties of pierogi: sweet cheese, sugarless cheese, sauerkraut, potato cheddar, potato bacon, potato cottage cheese, and potato cottage cheese and bacon. Amanda got one sauerkraut pierogi and one potato cheddar.
I ordered the Polish Platter which consisted of a golombki (stuffed cabbage roll), a pierogi -- I chose sweet cheese -- a potato pancake, Polish sausage, and parsley potatoes.
The pierogis were fantastic, saut�ed with butter and onions. The dumpling shell had a great bite and texture. The potato cheddar filling was creamy and delicious. The buttery onions made each forkful truly perfect.
My potato pancake was chewy without being tough. The exterior still had some crispness, which gave it beautiful texture.

In 1969 N. Scott Momaday stunned the publishing world when he received a Pulitzer Prize for his first novel, House Made of Dawn (1968). This critical success established Momaday as one of the most exciting and influential Native American writers of the post-war period. Following this success, Momaday published two accounts of his Kiowa heritage and family background in The Way to Rainy Mountain (1969) and The Names: A Memoir (1976). In these recollections Momaday weaves together poetry, prose, photographs and illustrations, to create an elaborate and intricate textual design. He has also published three collections of poetry: Angle of Geese and other Poems (1974), The Gourd Dancer (1976), and In …
