I just got an email from Russell from Designers & Books. In October they launch a Kickstarter to re-publish Depero's Bolted Book. So, nothing really important then. (Oh my god! They want to re-publish the Bolted Book!).

Here's real treasure for the map fiend: A topographical study of the region known as Europe. I remember Europe – some of it is just below us and there's a much bigger bit over on the other side of the British mainland. We used to holiday there when it was easy to do that, before the walls went up. I liked being in Europe…then one day…one dark day in the 2016, just over half the voting population of Great Britain decided they wanted to leave. Mostly for stupid reasons. But that is, as they say, history. We won't dwell on that.
Still, nice maps: a geographical study based on extracts from large scale maps of European countries featuring the natural environment, agricultural regions, areas of industry that it'll be harder to do business with now and both urban and rural settlements that we are no longer free to visit because an ill-informed population were invited to decide on something they were wholly unqualified to decide on. But as I've already said, let's not dwell on that particular clusterfuck.
Instead let's marvel at the myriad of lines, tones, colours and typography deployed to describe these now more distant regions.
Thankfully, the beauty of cartography is not influenced by poor socio-political referendums and we can still enjoy the skills and artistry of drafts-people from countries with whom we are no longer unified economically.

To summarise Marty Neumeier's 2013 book Metaskills: when the robots rise up to conquer, our only hope, our last line of defence, will be to hit them good and hard with a hefty dose of creativity. It's our last chance, a full-on, hardcore assault of creative power, right where is hurts. Boom!…Or, at least, I think that was his point…don't quote me though.
As we automate and roboticise more and more tasks that we really just can't be bothered to do ourselves, in the end, all we'll have left to claim we are still superior – that we still have mastery over the machines – is our ability to think outside of the lidded vessel – to think and act unorthodoxically…irregularly…nonconformistically…offbeatedly……as they say.
Not for the first time I'm joining the many voices that have expressed, more elegantly and in much greater detail, that original thought is our most valuable gross international product. And, literally, thank God (or Darwin, if you're less spiritually inclined) because without that, without 'new ideas', let's face it, we're robot fodder.
Now I for one, have what neuro-types might call a "growth mindset". None of us have to rely on what talent or skill we already have and infact we'd all do well, better actually, to expand our abilities through conscious, mindful, concerted and continual training.
Dorte Nielson and Sarah Thurber's book The secret of the highly creative thinker is an aid to just that. Sub-titled "How to make connections others don't", the book guides you through the theory then the practice – the conscious, mindful practice – of connection making. Building on what people like James Webb Young began fifty plus years ago Nielson and Thurber continue the de-mystification of the creative process with the science and provide numerous exercises to help anyone expand their abilities.
It's a handsome volume, easy on the eyes and pretty quick to work through up to the exercises which you can spread out for as long as you like. It's one of those "I wish this was around when I was starting out" kind of books.
In our modern era of near-androidian supremacy, as singularity inevitably approaches and those in the know – those beyond the "creative industries" – elevate creative thinking to a prized status, teaching like this is welcome and valuable.
If nothing else, it means we'll be ready for the robots.

In the May 6 edition of Daniel Benneworth-Gray's Meanwhile (you do subscribe to Meanwhile don't you?) he featured Jan Tschichold's The Form of the Book. Amongst the details Daniel drew out of that was what Jan said about "Deviant formats" – formats that don't work. JT mentions formats that are too big, too wide and too heavy. He doesn't, fortunately, mention too tall.
[Screen goes all wobbly and we jump back in time].
In the dim and distant and dim past – so long ago, in fact, that no one quite knows when it was – someone or other decided it would be a great idea to put a church on a thirty acre island in the Thames known for its thorny bushes.
By the 10th century (those in the know now know) there'd been a Christian church on Thorny for quite some time although there's no trace of it today. When Edward the Confessor ascended to the throne in 1042, Thorney's status as a sacred place was well established and he saw to it that the construction of a new, more fancy church was begun. This grander building – probably the largest Norman church of its time – was consecrated on Holy Innocents Day 1065. And not a moment too soon! Just a few days later Edward made his last confession and departed for that even grander church in the sky.
The Abbey continued to rise in national importance as Kings were crowned and later buried within its walls. Although Edward is credited for establishing Westminster, it was Henry III who imagined what we can see today – partly because by Henry's day, those pesky French were knocking up some really fancy cathedrals and we all know that kings are covetous creatures. So in 1245, Edward's church was respectfully (Henry was one of Edward's biggest fans) pulled down and construction of Westminster Abbey began in ernest. Not surprisingly, the building work took much longer than the time Henry III had on the planet and a whole bagful of kings and queens came and went, each making all sorts of additions and modifications to the plans, before the job was done.
[Screen goes all wobbly and we jump forward in time].
In 1965, the 900 year anniversary of that original consecration was celebrated in a year of events and commemorated in a very tall book that I suspect even Tschichold would have approved of. It's mighty tall but just a few pages in and it makes so much sense. Very tall photos of very tall things give way to very tall text columns and then more very tall photos of more very tall things. When tallness doesn't cut it, the designers (Roger and Robert Nicholson, London) turned to a 90° turn for a wonderfully long and shallow vista instead.
The book should have a fancy and rather audacious dust jacket but my low cost copy had already lost it's coat of many colour. No matter – the modest hard cover with that beautifully positioned and thrifty sans type will do nicely for me.
There's a few copies on eBay I notice and they don't all cost that much. Watch out though, there's a low cost paperback version but the overall design is lovely so even one of those would be good.

The latest (and over-sized) Pentagram Paper is a celebration of the ignored; ever-present but invisible to many, the ubiquitous maintenance cover is a hatch to a world below our feet that our feet will never explore. The paper is a collection of reproduced rubbings taken from street covers found around London. It was designed by Marina Willer and printed in dayglo inks. You can read more about it here.

I was over in my old stomping ground the other week, seeing my Mum who wasn't too well, and I managed to squeeze in a conflab with that man Luke Tonge, off of the Internet and the Monotype Recorder and Boat and other things. Anywho, he gave me this, which was terribly nice of him…not least because he also bought me a pint. Hope to return the favour when I'm in The 'Ham again.

Back in the day, agency types would have to defend apparent wasted space on a layout by claiming that it "illuminated the message". Maybe they still do. No false claim though, we all know that what you leave out is as important as what you put in and yes, white space does illuminate the message.
A few weeks ago we put out a recruitment ad. It was a great opportunity for someone to join the fabulous Tandem team. All we needed to do was put the ad out there and watch the applications come flooding in…
Time passed…
No applicants.
More time passed…
Still no applicants.
I began to wonder why. The ad was thorough and truthful; detailed and clear. I showed it to some design-related friends and invited criticism. Oh boy, did it get criticism. I think "intimidating" and "a bit dull" were amongst the harshest comments. So I sought sagely advice from one who knows – from an expert in such wordly matters: ace writer for brands Mike Reed.
Mike swiftly and efficiently destroyed what I'd written and, kindly, recrafted it. It was like night and day. Dull and intimidating became interesting and welcoming. A new ad went out…
And, we got takers – some really good ones.
What Mike did played on my mind over the following days. During that time this other thing happened: I was in an internal meeting which was interrupted by a colleague who needed to ask our Creative Director an important budget-related question. Something had to be cut – maybe we could pull back on the lighting? The answer was clear: there were others things to cut before the lighting. The lighting was too important.
And it clicked. What Mike did to our ad was introduce some good lighting. The new ad said the same thing as our original…but the message had become illuminated…by better words.
I'm beginning to learn that good lighting makes all the difference in a museum or visitor experience. It guides you through a space, draws you in, reveals where to look, shows you which direction to take. It's your invisible, intangible guide.
In copy, good writing does the same: it guides, draws you in and it reveals. Just like how bad lighting kills a museum space, bad writing kills the message.
I discussed all this briefly with Mike and he observed, "lighting and copy are often overlooked, but when they're rubbish you really notice – of course, when they're at their best, you don't notice them at all". Which nails it really: in design, even in the broadest sense, the most important things are often the things that, when done properly, no one notices. Beautiful lighting, good typography, a well proportioned page, expertly crafted copy – when executed really well, are often invisible and yet, they illuminate.

That's how William Morris pitched his, long-time pondered printing enterprise some time after 1888. Finally tipped over the edge by an inspiring lecture to the Arts and Crafts Exhibition in November that year, our hairy faced friend gathered around him a crack team; a finely-tuned, hand-crafted group – a punchcutter, a papermaker, an ink-maker, an engraver and a master printer were invited to join the fanatical craftsman at the Kelmscott Press.
52 works in 66 volumes were produced with the Kelmscott Chaucer being generally considered their masterpiece. Morris himself designed the types, title page, borders, frames and 26 initial words while his Pre-Raphaelite comrade Edward Burne-Jones produced 87 pencil illustrations, that were translated into line and engraved ready for print.
Whether it killed him or kept him alive I don't know enough to say but Chaucer was issued in June 1896 after a two year slog and Morris died the following October.
In 1975 a facsimile copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer was produced by the Basilisk Press, following production methods that mirrored, as closely as was possible, that of the original A-Team (K-Team, actually). This time it took three years with the original volume being accompanied by a second that reproduced, for the first time, Edward Burne-Jones' pencil sketches. 'Reproducing the Kelmscott Chaucer' is an article in The Penrose Annual from 1976. It tells of the troubles encountered by the new team: the impracticalities of using hand-made paper in the quantity required, the challenge of printing onto paper with a deckled edge, the difficulties of matting the ink and even the dangers of boredom during such a painstaking and laborious task.
During the early to mid-seventies phototypesetting was becoming standard. While they reproduced Chaucer using letterpress, the volume of drawings was produced using litho and the best phototypesetting available. That's a huge but understandable leap from one method to the other, in craft and result. The Basilisk team went to super-human lengths to reproduce Chaucer with a spirit and effort worthy of Morris.
Now, of course, the gap between the techniques of the arty-crafty Morris and contemporary production methods is even greater. All the more admirable then that a few finely-tuned, hand-crafted individuals endeavour to keep the art of letterpress alive and relevant today.

For most of my Penrose Annual collecting career, to date, I've concentrated on the 60s. But I've come to realise the following decade has lots to offer. As phototypesetting took hold, memories of letterpress-as-standard still prevailed and also the 70s witnessed some amazing designers at work in various graphic arts.
Paul Piech had began to publish from his private press in 1959, his wood and linocuts full of purpose and protest. Follow that link, from his name, and you'll see what I mean. For this edition of Penrose, he cut motifs to illustrate an article on Caxton as well as being the focus of a piece by Kenneth Hardacre.
Tom Eckersley was in his sixties by now but his poster work was still breaking ground. There's plenty of supporting evidence in this edition to prove that.
A superb piece on the Kelmscott Chaucer gives background on the original and goes on to describe the production of a facsimile copy of the Morris/Burne-Jones masterpiece. I'm going to do a separate post about that.
David Gentleman's here, thanks to Mel Calman who wrote the article which is illustrated with finished work alongside examples of Gentleman's design developments.
As is standard with Penrose, there's a ton of other stuff including an article on the reproduction of old maps and graphic design from Canada – and then the usual technical developments of the day.
I've uploaded more highlights to Flickr.

Three things converged recently…
We went to London to start with. Haven't been for ages and it was so good to be back, wandering around the city. Hope to be there again in the summer.
Then I began to read the book I'd been given at Christmas, Helene Hanff's 84, Charing Cross Road. It's a lovely book…well, books really. The volume – the one I have – is made up of the original 84 – a collection of correspondences between Hanff in New York and her antiquarian book dealer at Marks & Co Ltd, at the title's address – and her follow up, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, an account of her first visit to London, a city she spent years longing to see.
Both are fabulous to read. The first follows a touching and ultimately tragic friendship between the author and the staff of the bookshop. It's funny and super-charming and a bit sad. In The Duchess, we accompany Hanff, at a mature stage of her life, on her adventure in and around the city. Her fascination for London soon becomes infectious as you experience a view of the city that only a visitor can have.
That's two things…and neither are the point of this post. The third thing, and the point, is this: Buildings of London, published by Artifice, is another wanderer's view of London. Roger FitzGerald is an architect at one of the country's top firms ADP. Working in London, he clearly has a love for it that, though different to Hanff's in nature, is at least on a similar scale; it's clear from the pages of his book, that FitzGerald shares a fascination for the city.
The architect's eye is obviously at work here but what struck me is how it takes the compositions of paint and collage – FitzGerald uses fragments of printed matter in amongst his brushwork – beyond physical structures and into the realm of ambience; they capture the sensation of each place. Paintings of places we visited just a few weeks ago, take me back there. In paintings of others places, I felt a sense of what it must actually be like. They made me want to be there.
Just like Helene Hanff's book did.
You can get a copy of Buildings of London from you know where.

When it comes to vinyl, jazz is my first love. With the exception of one or two important album's of a more contemporary genre from my youth, it was the jazz LPs I kept at that time when the medium was deemed obsolete.
Obviously, there's no shortage of cool jazz album covers. Jazz begs for cool covers, like a short black hairy schnauzer begs for a Rich Tea biscuit every night around 7pm…as they say. But when it comes to charity shop vinyl pickings, jazz is a bit thin on the ground. And when I say, "thin on the ground", I mean as thin as thin can be. Thin.
I've only been looking at charity shop vinyl since Christmas (since my family bought me a record player and my interest in spinning black discs was rekindled) and I can't recall seeing any jazz beyond the softcore Kenny Ball and his Jazz Men kind of jazz.
Classical, on the other hand, is present in abundance. Where there is vinyl, there is classical. If there's nothing else, there's probably classical. No jazz. Lots of classical. I wonder why that is? What does that say about anything? I don't know.
What I do know – have learned – is that when classical music record labels were commissioning cover designs, all the good designers were out to lunch…smoking…drinking…and listening to jazz. Leaving those record companies with no option but to stick a photo of the conductor or, if he's out smoking and drinking with his designer mates, a photo of some vaguely related landscape or some random piece of art on the cover.
Finding anything more interesting is quite a task. But not, I'm happy to report, an impossible task, as the examples here demonstrate.
Now, I'm not an expert in the field of classical music LP cover design but Prokofiev seems to fair well, inspiring some great cover art or, at the very least, the use of a Lissitzky painting.
This cover has nothing but Czechoslovakian all over the back so until I finish my intensive lifelong learning class in that particular language I can't tell you anything about the top notch cover design. Bartok is excellent too.
This one, on the other hand, is by Rudolf de Harak. I wasn't familiar with de Harak but a quick Google reveals…well, take a look. Flippin' amazing!
And finally, this absolute triumph from 1964, another from Czechoslovakia, is credited to the mysterious Frantisek Novy who appears to have gone on to become the Pope. Go figure.

Everyone loves a pebble, don't they? In fact, I would go as far to say that if you don't like pebbles, you don't like life. You are a fool. A fool!
I will concede though that 'pebbles' is personal. My wife, for example, being of pure heart and mind chooses the whitest of white examples. Immaculately cleaned by the violent salty tumult, their chalky surfaces seem quite unnatural to me. No, the impeccable stone is not for me. Tainted by the mess of life I favour a beach gem to mirror my scarred soul.
A couple of weeks ago we were up on Northern Ireland's north coast for a few days. Man, it's a remarkable coast! And with a land-locked upbringing behind me, living so close to the craggy land edge of this island is all the more exhilarating.

Maybe it's different now but when I set out into the world of creative things I was singularly ill-equipped. Ignorant of techniques, I thought it was all about in-built, natural talent. No one talked about techniques for creative thinking. I'd like to think it's different now. Over time, I stumbled across strategies and I learned, by trial and error, how to approach a problem. Bit by bit, I collected techniques – "I wish I'd known that years ago" techniques. I have them all written down in a little black book that I carry everywhere I go.
Ideas are the single most valuable commodity in the design world so why rely on what you were born with. Why think that's all there is – especially when there's so much more. And if you don't think you're that creative, what then? Maybe, just maybe, you simply haven't worked out how to be really creative yet.
What you need is some technique. You need to get meta. You need to think about thinking.
John Ingledew's new book, How to have great ideas, brings together many strategies to unblock your creative pipework; to release your shackled genius…
Commit time to your creativity. Invest in it. The least you can do is read a book or two. Ingledew suggests much more: question, act, hoard, leap, fix, get outside and explore…my personal favourite: Go to the factory. Always, go to the factory. Then sleep, daydream, take a chance; swap, combine. Fail.
Crucially, on page 176, he says, "Understand your process", that's what it's all about really – find what works for you; equip yourself, "To have ideas quickly and repeatedly it's vital to understand which conditions make you personally most creatively productive". Ingledew quotes Tchaikovsky, "If we wait for the mood, without endeavouring to meet it halfway, we easily become indolent and apathetic".
How to have great ideas: A guide to creative thinking
was published this month by Laurence King.

'Twas the tenth year of the second millennium whence I happened upon a somewhat modest volume inside which there was to be found, described in line and word, a city so French it is now known by some as…Paris.
Remarkably, by an unholy coincidence, by fortuitous happenstance, exactly and precisely five years, two months, one week and three days later I chanced upon this quite different and similar bound collection of papers that describes, in word and line, the very same different land of somewhere else. Italia.

If you go down to the woods today…then make your way through the trees…and pop out the other side (just like the Ancient Clan O'Neill probably did around the middle of the thirteenth century) you might find yourself (if you happen to be near Cookstown, County Tyrone) at Tullaghoge Fort.
I've been working as an interpretive designer now for nearly two years. It's been great. Revealing. I've learned all about Irish history and have some grasp of the whole Northern Irish 'situation', something that we can all have an opinion on but can't understand, in a fair and balanced way, unless we have some insight into its origins. Tullaghoge played no small role in Ireland's story – a fascinating story of intrigue, general sneakiness and skulduggery – the stuff of legends.
If there's an overriding thing I've learned over the last two years it's how certain forgotten, hidden or just carelessly misplaced episodes in our collective past can hold their own against the most thrilling works of fiction. In many ways, the job of the interpretive designer is to present these episodes as such – as thrilling works. That's how we approached the Tullaghoge story; a story of conflict, conquest, betrayal and, well, more conflict.
Enter the fabulous work of Will Freeborn. When we looked for an illustrator to help us tell the Tullaghoge story, we didn't want to commission technically accurate historic reconstructions, we wanted to capture a sense of drama…that sense of legend…a ghostly dream-like peek into a sensory past. The illustrations Wil gave us are mean, moody and messy.
The project involves much more than these illustration. It's a whole outdoor visitor experience with landscape architecture and sculptural interventions. Our hope is that it'll feel like a story book brought to life. Not 'Disney-fied' though, it's gritty and, probably, quite mudding – this is, after all, Northern Ireland. By the spring, it should all be finished and I can show you the whole thing.

I was in Belfast city centre just before Christmas, panic buying (as you do) and I stumbled across the Linen Hall Library charity bookshop. I spent far too long sifting through the mishmash of rejected, obsolete and generally disappointing volumes. I was beginning to resent the time I'd wasted, lamenting how I would never get it back and that, really, I'd been quite foolish in getting distracted from my true, less selfish seasonal mission. The last book I looked at was a defaced children's book about bees and beekeeping. Inside the front cover was this inscription.
I think that's my mantra for life, right there. Repeat after me…

It's coming up to two years since my Dad died and in a way I'm more aware of his presence than ever before. Memories of Dad and tools go together like 'Spear' and 'Jackson'. As those two years have passed I've had numerous reasons to reach for one thing or another. My Dad came from the look-after-your-tools-and-they'll-look-after-you school of hard knocks, as opposed to our use-it-and-throw-it-away kindergarten of fluff.
These tools feel like they are engrained with the imprint of his hands. That bradawl and the carpenter's pincers down below go with the mallet I posted ages ago. That serious looking steal contraption below is a ratchet brace. I have no idea what I'll use it for but I'm itching to put holes in things with it.
I have a friend whose Mum died this week. That's terribly sad. Everyone's experience of loss is different so I can't imagine how he's really feeling right now. He shared a beautiful photo of her and (I hope he doesn't find the comparison offensive) it connected with what I'd already started to write here.
Whatever you believe or don't believe, I think it's a blessing that the memory of our loved ones live on not just in our minds but in the artefacts they leave behind. Photos are vivid – for me, my Dad's tools say as much about him as anything could. My friend is unlikely to feel this right now, with his Mum's passing so sharply in focus, but these things can bring great comfort as they conjure warm memories of the times we spent with those no longer here.

I've heard of Insel-Bücherei but until last week I haven't actually seen any. First published in Leipzig in 1912 their aim was mirrored by Penguin in 1935. That is, to bring affordable books to the common man. Their design obviously influenced the Penguin Poets and Scores although Insel-Bücherei's books were hardback, rather like the original Ladybird books, and the spine and cover labels were actually glued on labels.
There's been talk of them in The Penguin Collector but from before I was a PCS member so I may need to order back issues to find out more. A quick Google reveals the extent of Insel-Bücherai issues. I picked these up for £1 each. Not sure that'll be a common occurrence.
There's a digital collection here.

According to our go to guy, our trusted fount of all known knowledge, the word 'illustration' comes from the latin word 'illustra'tio' or 'illu'stro' meaning 'enlighten' or 'irradiate' – 'irradiate' meaning 'illuminate (something) by or as if by shining light on it'.
Thought as much.
Since I became an interpretive designer – since February 2014 – I have commissioned more illustration than I have during the rest of my long, roller-coastering career. I've worked with visualisers before, to capture concepts, but not so much illustrators, to capture stories. As interpretive designers though, a large part of our remit is to bring stories to life – to shine a light on them. To, as the godfather of this discipline put it, 'make the remote, coherent'.
And boy, what a tool illustration is – what a pleasure it is to commission illustration and what a joy it is to see the work of amazingly talented artists. With illustration we can visualise the impossible to see; the legends and maybe-truths. The romantic I-hope-it-happeneds or the horrific how-awful-that-must-have-beens.
With illustration we can capture not just scenes beyond our time and vision but imagined emotions – we can fulfil the primary directive of interpretation, to paraphrase Tilden, we can, 'relate what is being displayed or described to something within the personality or experience of the visitor'.
We can compress and combine ideas – illustration is an extremely pliable tool. But that's not all, illustrators can add more than just their ability to render a scene in a technically acceptable way – they can do it in style – with their own style.
These pieces are by a local illustrator, Sam Hunter. I've had the pleasure of working with Sam a few times since I moved to Belfast but over that last year Sam's done loads for us. And he's done it with a startling panache, a 'flamboyant confidence of style or manner' (seeing as we're using definitions a bit here).
His linework astonishes me. Each piece is more than fit for purpose and more than answers the brief well, they delight. They also baffle me. How does he do it? Sam's illustrations display such flare (such 'flamboyant confidence of style or manner'). How come those squiggly, scribbly lines work so well? It's alchemy to me. Delightful alchemy.
We're using these on outdoor graphic panels that will be installed at points along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. The illustrations will bring local legends or unique episodes in history to life. One shows how children used to stilt-walk across a shallow causeway to school everyday; another is about an evil, poisonously spinned wart hog that, it is said, would emerge from the sea with murderous intent; another depicts a town's worst fishing disaster, which happened when a storm was summoned by a rather unneighbourly sorceress.
I could go on but maybe you see my point. Illustration may be one of the simplest tools for interpretation – the discipline is, after all, 'an art which combines many arts' – but it's also one of the most accessible and, perhaps, most powerful thanks to how varied styles can be (we can choose what best suits each opportunity) and how pliable the end piece can be (we can make it do what we want it to do). The key to all this, of course, is the skill and flare of the illustrator.

Revlon did end on last Tue
If you are close to a couple of HEBs, I would say go and check out the YQs and take a couple with you if you don't think the other store would have them.
-yes the Revlon deal was last week-so sorry-
there's some covergirl on sale this week-I haven't picked any up, but I saw some B-YQs and I know there are man. Qs.
Hope this helps a little.
On topic:
Found very few boxes of Kelloggs with Cars promotion at HEB in the Galleria/Houston. They were totally picked clean but did have plenty of YQ's. If you go, check the top overstock shelves for the promotional ones.

The Catholic hierarchy is stirring, is aroused, and is now on the march. From the highest ranking, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, President of the U.S. Conferences of Bishops, to the Bishop in Harrisburg, to the Pastor of the Church in York, Pennsylvania. The Catholics are coming.
Absent from the battlefield during the final months of the Obamacare debate over two years ago as conservatives warned that the pro-infanticide forces of the Obama White House and Reid-Pelosi Congress would use the power they were giving anti-life federal bureaucrats to force this policy on the Catholic Church and even to force Catholics to pay for it, this most incredible power grab took place without any denunciations from Catholic Church leaders. The Catholic Church offered not even mild dissent as supposed Catholics like then House Leader Nancy Pelosi and Pennsylvania's U.S. Senator Robert P. Casey voted to not only legalize murder of infants but to also give the power to let bureaucrats force Catholics to pay for it.
The Catholics, we were told, had been promised that there would be a "conscientious objector" proviso that would allow them to "opt out."
But now, as The Very Left Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's former Pastor once said, "the pigeons are coming home to roost."
Two years after passage of ObamaCare, an explicit promise was made by President Obama himself to the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Catholics were promised they would be allowed to have a "conscience" clause to exempt them from the onerous, burdensome and reprehensible new policy.
Three months later, the promise was cancelled as President Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius used the powers given to her by this unconstitutional power grab to issue a new edict. On February 10, Sebelious said that the Administration will force the Church and its institutions - such as hospitals, schools and the social services it provides (ie. food pantries, adoption services, etc.) - to carry anti-life insurance and pay for what they call "contraceptive rights."
In plain English, that means free contraceptives, free sterilizations, free "morning after" (ie. abortion) pills. - trampling on some of the most sacred, longest held and consistent teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Obama Administration knew that on "the right to have contraception" and the "free birth control for all" issues they had a winner among the leftwing and freeloader classes they are looking to mobilize with issues such as this. And, the Catholics, well, they "rolled over" during the ObamaCare debate so why worry? As they have said endlessly since the new policy was announced, "99 percent " of the Catholics are on their side against their own priests and bishops.
This may be a serious miscalculation. Angry priests have taken to the pulpit to defend their teachings from this assault which is exactly what the First Amendment prohibits - the government forcing a religion on the entire country, in this case, the religion that says infanticide is OK and forcing those who dissent, to pay for it.
The Diocese of Harrisburg for example, states clearly on their website, that they are being forced to help distribute and even pay for "life threatening drugs and procedures" (http://www.hbgdiocese.org/default.aspx?PageID=23981c68-0d7d-43d1-9b48-6e6a0680fb36).
The Catholics are calling upon their flock to demand passage of "Respect for Rights of Conscience Act" currently before Congress (HR 1179 and S1467).
But more ominously - for the reelection prospects of President Obama, Pennsylvania's Catholic Senator Robert P. Casey and many other Democrat Senators and Congressmen across America, the Catholics are calling upon their flock to register to vote, and to vote for people who will reverse this anti-life, infanticide policy.
We have a detailed report about one of so very many Parish priests across America who are speaking from the pulpit at Sunday mass "the most forcefully, cogently, courageously, enthusiastically and correctly that I have ever heard him speak in over 6 years of listening to his homilies" said the parishioner who gave us this report from St. Patrick's Catholic Church in York, PA after listening this past Sunday to the third such homily since the federal dictate last month. He said he's never been prouder to be a Catholic after hearing a letter from the Bishop read a few weeks ago, and the three homilies of Father Samuel E. Houser, Pastor of St. Patrick's Church, York, PA.
I suggested that there will be dissenting voices warning against this stand, from the voices of moderation and compromise both within the Church and from its outside critics. I asked that parishioner, won't the Catholic fans of President Obama, and his supporter in Pennsylvania, U.S. Senator Bob Casey, make them tone it down in time for President Obama and Senator Casey to win reelection?
Not a chance, the parishioner said the flock was told at this Sunday mass. Father Houser said in his homily - pausing to read headlines from several newspaper clips - that he could see President Obama was bolstered by poll results of what was called "GOP opposition to his contraceptive position." He knew that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi - his actual words - "continues to speak as if she represents the Pope in Rome. She does not. She should be excommunicated. She is an outrage."
Father Houser stunned his parish with these strong words, and went on to say that he felt terrible for the families of U.S. servicemen who courageously serve this nation at risk of their lives, when they see their Commander in Chief out there apologizing most abjectly to the very people who kill them, so sensitive and not wishing to offend these terrorists. But then the families of these servicemen see here in the United States, a policy such as this one and they ask, what about us, what about what he is doing to us in the Catholic Church who dissent from his policy? Where is his sensitivity for OUR religious beliefs?"
We were promised, reminded Father Houser, that there would be a conscience exemption so that those who didn't agree with this "life threatening" policy could be exempted. President Obama broke his promise, thundered Father Houser. Now the fines they will impose on us for violating their ruling, he explained, will force us to either be bankrupted or to withdraw our services. "Is that their goal" asked Father Houser - to put us out of business one way or the other way?
"We cannot give in" thundered Father Houser. Our Bishop in Harrisburg spoke to Catholic Senator Casey about this, about his support for this policy, reported Father Houser. He is in favor of this, he continued. He continues to say he is Catholic. But he is for this policy even after the effect on us was explained to him - a policy that forces us to violate our policy on life, forces us to pay for this, looks the other way as children have children. (note: when exact quotes are cited it is because the exact words were written down by the parishioner, versus notes referencing the content of the homily).
Father Houser challenged his flock - and this is being repeated in parishes all over America - to register to vote, and to vote. That is what the politicians understand, that is what will make them hear us.
Father Houser said he had the voter registration forms in the Church, and he hoped we run out so he would go and get more. Register. And vote. And this writer suggests one more thing you can do Dear Reader - write to Fr. Houser and THANK HIM for his firm stand, [email protected]
The earlier homilies of Father Houser emphasized the need to contact our elected officials and in the Church Bulletin he put the names and contact information for our elected officials, from President to Senators to Congressman. Since the Feb. 10 "edict" that has not changed the policy so now, it is a matter of register and promise to vote. Will Father Houser and the Catholics get more explicit as this election year goes on? I suspect they will. I'd bet on it.
Thou art Peter (rock), said Jesus to the first Pope, and in giving him - and all of us - our orders to stand up for what is right and He promised most clearly, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against you."
Those gates - the symbol of the authority and power of a city-state from which sally forth their troops to conquer - will not prevail. It is the direct and specific promise of Jesus Christ, in whose redeeming and blessed Name we pray for Father Houser and for all the priests and bishops and ministers and rabbis of all denominations and faiths, stand fast. If you do, then in this year 2012 as in the centuries since the promise was made, The gates of hell will not prevail against you.

NIH scientists report new insights into the workings of the immune system that may help in the development of a universal flu vaccine. Gary J. Nabel, M.D., and colleagues at the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine Research Center have effectively identified key stages in the development of antibody-producing B cells, by tracing back along the pathway by which immature B cells recognize the conserved stem region of the influenza virus hemagluttinin (HA) protein antigen and develop into mature cells that produce broadly neutralizing antibodies.
The team's work has shown that germline-encoded precursors of these antibodies act as functional B-cell antigen receptors (BCRs) that trigger subsequent affinity maturation. However, key to this process is the observation that the immature antibodies will only recognize the HA stem when they are expressed as IgM molecules on the surface of the immature B cells, and not when present as soluble immunoglobulines (IgG). Contact between IgM and HA stem antigen then triggers maturation of the naive B cells into mature B cells that generate broadly neutralizing HA-stem-binding antibodies.
Reporting their findings in Nature, the researchers say understanding how such broadly neutralizing antibodies originate could help in the rational design of vaccine candidates that prompt the correct naive B cells to mature into broadly neutralizing antibody-producing cells. "This new understanding of how an immature immune cell transforms into a mature B cell capable of producing antibodies that neutralize a wide variety of influenza viruses could speed progress towards a universal flu vaccine—one that would provide protection against most or all influenza virus strains," concludes NIAID director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D.
Dr. Nabel et al., describe their results in a paper titled "Structural and genetic basis for development of broadly neutralizing influenza antibodies."

Rihanna says she gets naked to conquer her body insecurities
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 19, 2012
- Rhianna says she's insecure about her body
- Poses for almost nude photographs on Twitter
- "The more I got naked the more comfortable I felt"
RIHANNA has claimed that she is showing more and more flesh to conquer her "body insecurities".
The Bajan beauty, who is scheduled to be in Sydney next month to promote the film Battleship, had a complex about her breasts and her bottom, but decided to conquer her fear to pose for risque photographs and for posing almost nude on Twitter.
"The more I got naked the more comfortable I felt. I just had to face my fear. I just started being more daring," she said, The Sun reported.
While most women might envy her body, the pop singer who makes her movie debut in Battleship, wants a fuller figure and has even quit dieting.
Rihanna, 24 - now sporting a new dark roots hairstyle - moaned: "It's annoying because now I don't have a butt and I have no boobs. I already had no boobs to start with. So annoying! I'm eating everything."

This article is the equivalent of Bill Gates saying he is concerned about his wealth and will be massing investment capital to sure up his retirement. This seems less 'conquering her fear' and more a viral marketing stunt so the battleship movie can be talked up. Rhianna get some class, what a world we live in!

Typical narcissism. Babe, it ain't what you got that counts, but how you use it.
from a 40 something year old Posted at 10:22 AM March 19, 2012
She's only 24. Give it a few years and 'eating everything' will certainly give her a 'fuller' figure.

This episode starts right after the Evil Sith Ewok escapes the Group HQ.
Due to injuries received in battle last Episode, Mälé Eelo'bek is placed in a medical coma (Player was absent this week) to heal.
Zentarik Genarik locks himself away to recuperate from losing some of his life energy and to meditate on the incident in the last Episode (player absent this week).
The group spends the first day of this Episode searching the facility for useful items, packing up, attempting to contact Mr. Jo'N Siin and figuring out which ship can be repaired so they can escape.
Wrax Leman and Wolfgang "Wolf" Wizzleknob inspect all the ships and they think they can fix the transport but they know that the repairs will be temporary. The repairs take about 12 days to complete.
During the first few days Dorn Tio and Tyrious "Tye" Solaros use the pressure oven and the datapad that instructs force users on how to synthsize light saber crystals that they found in Darth Kratins lair to build new crystals and lightsabers.
Dorn Tio and Wolfgang "Wolf" Wizzleknob attempt to contact Mr. Jo'N Siin. Using the technometry force power, they are able to contact him, he gives them coordinates for a secondary base on Mustafar.
The group flies there in their busted up transport which ends badly in a crash. The ship ends up hanging over the ledge of a runway above a lava flow. The group manages to escape and the ship is saved when Tyrious "Tye" Solaros uses an epic Move Object rather then escape the ship. This could have ended badly if it failed, he would have plummeted to his probable death with the ship.
Once inside the facility Dorn Tio,Tyrious "Tye" Solaros and Wrax Leman go deep inside looking for a way to restore power. They go down into a basement area and find a flooded mold infested room that leads to the power room that has the fuse boxes. Power is restored and the group meets up only to find out that they are locked inside this facility with no idea how to get out.
The same group plus Wolfgang "Wolf" Wizzleknob decide to explore the upper levels with the hope that there might be another way out. They discover an autopsy room that leads to a quarantined area. Dorn Tio and Wrax Leman go inside this quarantined area and discover it populated by different humanoid races (Human,Twileck, Zabrack, etc)wearing white jumpsuits. They then massacre the people in this area (who were showing no signs of hostility) and leave. They decide to head down to the basement area and check out the rooms down there.
Once down in the basement they see all but three of the doors have been opened, they also then get attacked by different humanoid races (same type as before except these people are wearing business attire instead of white jumpsuits). These people are very hostile but the group manages to beat them with almost no problem. However, sometime during the fight Wolfgang "Wolf" Wizzleknob gets slashed and his wound looks very infected.
From there the group goes through double doors at the end of the room that lead to a walkway to another part of the facility. Tyrious "Tye" Solaros uses to the Force to augment his speed and once he reaches nearly to other side he gets ambushed by the Evil Sith Ewok who tosses him over the side of the walkway into the lava. Atleast that was his plan, Tyrious "Tye" Solaros manages to grab the walkway just in time to save himself. The Sith aldo sets off an explosion blowing a large hole in the walkway.
The group manages to defeat the Sith, however, during the battle it managed to burn Tyrious "Tye" Solaross arm down to the bone with Force Lightning.
The doorway lead to what looked to be a server farm and the main cpu area. The information was very corrupted but they managed to figure out the following information:
1.Mr. Jo'N Siin is not an actual person, its a program in this facility, however its been corrupted so they can not figure out why it was doing what it was doing.
2. The people working at this facility were attempting to figure out a way to make soldiers who were invisible to the force and not able to be affected by it. They succeeded somewhat, they made people like that but they either became mindless super docile and attracted to life or very aggresive and violent towards the living. The information on how this happened was all lost.
3. Locations of other facilities.
