Look out! It's DARPA's robot cheetahs!
So the Marines roll up in their crowd-sourced Local Motors troop transport and out jumps a bunch of robotic cheetahs with lasers for eyes! Warfare in the 21st century is gonna look like a James Cameron movie.

Twitter + theater: Reorbit launches today
Reorbit, an experiment in social media theater, has launched today. What does that mean exactly? The project hopes to enliven an audience excited by theater and literature by utilizing new media technology.
Writing in real-time, the characters use Twitter as a channel for interacting with a wider audience online. What would Kafka say in 140 characters? What would a modern-day Sylvia Plath tweet about? Social media will play a role in an actual real-time written performance of a character.
Get started by following Samuel Beckett, the Big Friendly Giant (from Roald Dahl's classic The BFG), and Behemoth, the black cat from Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita on Twitter.
Ecomaterials Lab: EcoATM makes recycling used gadgets easier
PopTech's weekly Ecomaterials Labs series is part of our ongoing, focused look at next-generation sustainable materials innovation.
E-waste is a huge problem. More than 80% of the 2.25 million pounds of electronics discarded every year in the U.S. end up in landfills. Filled with toxic waste - arsenic, cadmium, mercury – these items poison the ground and can easily contaminate water supplies. Add to this the economic and human costs of mining rare earth metals such as coltan, often referred to as 'blood minerals' because of the conflict zones from which they come; AND the vicious cycle of buy-discard-upgrade that is the hallmark of our gadget-obsessed culture and you have an extraordinary environmental problem.
The EcoATM is definitely a step in the right direction. Simply insert your old phone (or other device) and the EcoATM erases its memory, assigns a value to the item, and spits out a reward in the form of coupons, gift certificates, cash, etc. The company also takes care of all collection and recycling, including complete compliance with all e-waste laws. A step in the right direction, EcoATM bows to the notion that consumers will do the right thing if it's convenient enough. And now that the company has new financing from Coinstar and the National Science Foundation, there's hope that we'll see EcoATMs popping up across the country.

Ecomaterials Lab: Mapping our way out of a mess
PopTech's weekly Ecomaterials Labs series is part of our ongoing, focused look at next-generation sustainable materials innovation.
As a society, we use too much…stuff. Stuff that is manufactured in increasingly dangerous ways. When we're done with these (mostly) unneeded and toxic items, we throw them in landfills or they end up in our oceans. Not exactly a news flash, but still worth repeating. Like energy and climate change, the issue of materials sustainability is real and immediate. In 2010, PopTech initiated the Ecomaterials Innovation Lab, an all-star network of stakeholders focused on ways to bring next-generation sustainable materials innovation to scale. Below are some of our findings from the first meeting of the Lab last July (read the full report in "PDF form) as well as recommendations for how we might go forward toward a brighter materials future:
- There's a surprising lack of consensus about how to 'get there' – including where 'there' is. Unlike, say, the '350' goal: among climate change advocates (stabilizing carbon dioxide at 350 parts per million in the atmosphere), there is no equivalent "grand vision" for materials sustainability. There are no agreed upon definitions for the most basic terms (see "eco" and "green.") A huge part of the problem is that success, like the terms used to describe it, is in the eye of the beholder.
This week in PopTech: Fellows Friday
There's always something brewing in the PopTech community. From the world-changing people, projects and ideas in our network, a handful of this week's highlights follows.
- Google for Africa's Policy Manager, Ory Okolloh (Social Innovation Fellow 2009), has been named one of Fast Company's most influential women in technology. Okolloh co-founded Ushahidi, a non-profit tech company that specializes in developing free and open source software for information collection, visualization and interactive mapping. She was also named one of 2010's 50 most innovative companies by MIT's Technology Review.
- Kiwanja.net founder, Ken Banks (Social Innovation Fellow 2008) is rethinking social entrepreneurship with the rise of the "reluctant innovator." Banks works to empower local, national and international non-profit organizations to make better use of information and communications technology in their work.
- Mushroom packaging from Eben Bayer's (Social Innovation Fellow 2009) Ecovative Design was featured on Science360 this week.

Our Christmas with Glenn Beck
Taylor Stuckert and Mark Rembert, 2009 Social Innovation Fellows, founded Energize Clinton County (ECC) in an attempt to save their hometown, Wilmington, Ohio, from economic ruin. Wilmington was home to the largest DHL hub in the world until it closed operations there in 2008, resulting in the loss of 7,000 jobs in a town of 12,000 people. Inspired by Obama, they both quit their jobs in the Peace Corps in 2008 and returned home to devote their lives to revitalizing the city they love.
Last year, Glenn Beck discovered Wilmington and decided he was going to help. On December 15, 2010, Beck hosted his show live from Wilmington where he proceeded to glamorize the town ("It's a Wonderful Life" was a recurring theme). Stuckert and Rembert met Beck, and Beck decided he liked them in spite of their left leaning political views. He has since made Wilmington a regular talking point on his show and featured Wilmington again on January 21, 2011.
Stuckert and Rembert were recently in New York to meet with Beck. Despite their skepticism (he has promised never to politicize Wilmington again), he continues to remain committed to helping the town and the ECC initiative. Beck's commitment is a double-edged sword; he's an incredibly divisive public figure but also the only nationally recognized one to make a long-term commitment to their project. And apparently, Beck's fans have made Wilmington a must-see destination so the town is actually benefiting financially from this attention.
We asked Stuckert and Rembert to share their thoughts on PopTech's blog about Beck's dedication to their work and their hometown.
By Taylor Stuckert and Mark Rembert
Last fall, Glenn Beck was arguably at an all-time high for coverage on blogs, websites, talk shows, and in newspapers. He was a focal point of controversy and his bursts of emotion and contentious zingers were a constant centerpiece on the Daily Show with John Stewart. So we definitely had mixed feelings when we heard the rumor that Glenn Beck was coming to Wilmington to do an event at the Historic Murphy Theatre.
Glenn Beck promised to us, though, that he would not make this a political event. His desire was to share the story of our community's resilience, innovativeness, and leadership. He said that he saw our community as an inspiration and a model for the rest of the country. How could we disagree with his view of our community? Our work is premised on that view—that many of the solutions to the country's most pressing challenges are rooted in local communities.
PopTech interview: Gabor Forgacs on the reality of 3D organ printing
Dr. Gabor Forgacs has taken three dimensional printing to the next level. We're not talking printing a chair or an architectural prototype but human organs – printing blood vessels, mini livers and nerve grafts cell by cell. Organ printing is one of the latest technologies within the tissue engineering discipline and Forgacs is at the forefront. PopTech spoke with the theoretical physicist turned biophysicist to get a sense of what's currently possible in the realm of regenerating human cells and tissue, where he envisions the field is headed, and what the long-term implications could be.
PopTech: At the crux of this innovation and beyond just sounding cool, what is the need for 3D organ printing?
Gabor Forgacs: There are 70,000 people right now just in the U.S. waiting for a replacement kidney. There are 5,000 people waiting for a heart. There are people waiting for a liver transplant. And before a suitable donor is found, many of them will be dead. So there is a critical shortage of replacement organs and this interdisciplinary science, this discipline – tissue engineering – works with physicists, medical doctors, biologists, engineers to produce replacement tissue and eventually organs that will help to regenerate the body or to recover body functions that have been lost.
What are the basic elements needed to get the printer to produce blood vessels and tissue?
For ordinary printing [using a desktop printer], you need some ink, a cartridge, paper and a printer. For this, you need the bio-ink, the bio-paper and the bio-printer. The bio-ink, or cell aggregates with composition appropriate for a particular organ, is delivered using a bio-printer in a bio-friendly environment appropriate for the organ and within bio-compatible scaffolding gels that serve as the paper to form 3D tissue constructs.

Dan Ariely on adaptation to pain, attraction and work
Dan Ariely just sent us one of his signature videos as an addendum to the concept of adaptation he'd introduced during his PopTech talk this past October. Ariely had spoken candidly about adaptation to pain from his own experience and how severe injuries increase one's pain threshold. He also shared results from studies he conducted on social adaptation as it relates to assortative mating, or, to put it bluntly, figuring out who's within someone's league and who isn't when it comes to meeting a significant other.
Adaptation comes in another form – professional adaptation. Ariely anecdotally explained that he made a number of small decisions, which led him on his current career path, including clumsily killing a slew of lab rats before he realized that his hands weren't cut out for physiology. Adaptation is the process by which we maneuver around an environment to figure out what works best for us, he concluded.
If you're a Dan Ariely fan like we are, why not consider checking out his SXSW panel on Tuesday, March 15 with Sarah Szalavitz, Flexible Morality of User Engagement & User Behavior, or participating in a 15 minute experiment in which the results will be showcased during the panel?

Transforming Our Human Forms into Christ's
The Theomorphic Anthropology of Aidan NicholsAre you puzzled by the nature and system of Aidan Nichols's theological contribution? Are you looking for a way to renew your appreciation for Nichols's theological activity? Do you want to clarify your understanding of Nichols's anthropological view? Father Engoulou Paul discusses these and many others interesting matters in this book. He carefully analyzes the different layers on which Nichols
Essays on Liturgy and the ArtsThis book explores the Liturgy as the manifestation by cultic signs of Christian revelation, the 'setting' of the Liturgy in terms of architectural space, iconography and music, and the poetic response which the revelation the Liturgy carries can produce. The conclusion offers a synthetic statement of the unity of religion, cosmology and art. Aidan Nichols makes the case for Christianity's
A Theological Study of Paul Claudel
Ashgate Studies in Theology, Imagination and the ArtsThis is the first comprehensive study of the theological significance of Paul Claudel, a poet frequently cited by literary-minded theologians in Europe and theologically-minded poets (such as von Balthasar, de Lubac and Eliot). His writing combines cosmology and history, Bible and metaphysics, liturgy and the drama of human personality. His work, which continues to arouse discussion in France, was

A Dialogue with Catholic TraditionalismThe ideal TAN book! The resurgence of tradition is rekindling devotion, zeal and, we pray, sanctity. But do some place traditionalism before Mother Church herself? This is the issue of our time a unique time, 50 years after Vatican II when much (though not all) of the misapplication of the Council s teaching and the liturgical aberrations have settled. In The Council in Question: A Dialogue With
The Mariology of the Catholic ChurchMary continues to be a source of theological interest and concern for Catholics and Protestants alike. For Catholics, Mariology was codified in a set of dogmas over the centuries; yet many Catholics remain unaware of the biblical, historical, and theological matrix that gave rise to the magisterial teaching. Protestants, with some exceptions, remain skeptical of Marianism in Catholic theology,
A Systematic Theology in OutlineOver the course of a distinguished theological career, Aidan Nichols has produced an array of masterful contributions to the fields of systematic theology, ecclesiology, theological aesthetics, ecumenism, liturgy, and Scripture.

$14.29Giussani begins by focusing on the Church as a community composed of people who are aware of themselves as defined by the gift of the Spirit, from which they derive a new conception of existence, the fruit of conversion. He then describes the Church's developing self-awareness of its dual elements of the human and divine. Concerned with verifying the Church's claim to embody Christ, Giussani
A Very Brief History of EternityWhat is eternity? Is it anything other than a purely abstract concept, totally unrelated to our lives? A mere hope? A frightfully uncertain horizon?

In A Very Brief History of Eternity, Carlos Eire, the historian and National Book Award-winning author of Waiting for Snow in Havana, has
Philosophy and the Making of Modernity 1650-1750Arguably the most decisive shift in the history of ideas in modern times was the complete demolition during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - in the wake of the Scientific Revolution - of traditional structures of authority, scientific thought, and belief, by the new philosophy and the philosophies, culminating in Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau. In this revolutionary process which

NEGEV- The U.S. Defense Department funded a huge experimental explosion in the Israeli Negev Desert on Wednesday, which simulated an earthquake of 3.0 on the Richter scale.
The experiment was a joint project of the Seismology Branch of the Israel Geophysical Institute, which is part of the National Infrastructures Ministry, and the University of Hawaii.
Earthquakes of that magnitude occur about once a week in this region, but their effects are not usually felt.
Eighty tons of explosives were used in the controlled explosion, which tested seismic and acoustic sensors throughout Israel and around the Mediterranean basin.
Experts monitored the resulting sound waves to better understand earthquakes and atmospheric conditions.
Data was collected in Italy, France, Greece and Cyprus as well as other countries.
Experts will also use the data to assess Israel's earthquake monitoring system.
Israel is in an earthquake prone region and experts say it is only a matter of time before a major quake will rock the region.

On June 3, the first Sunday in June, special guests in Arcadia Christian Church were Mae Watt and her two sons, Bill and Delton Watt Jr. from the Kansas City area.
To celebrate Mae's 88th birthday, she gave her offering. Wayne and Christie Parrish gave for their 38th wedding anniversary. The appropriate songs were sung for each. The Watts then enjoyed the church dinner at the noon hour. After visiting the cemeteries, they returned to Fort Scott Manor where Mae's sons honored her with an ice cream and birthday cake party served to her friends in the manor.
On Wednesday, following the Corporon reunion and the AHS Annual Dinner held in Pittsburg, Larry Shead took his aunt and uncle Harriett and Jack Corporon to Kansas City to catch their flight back to Brooklyn, N.Y.
At the same time, Vickie Shead took her cousin Peggy Wickstrom to Joplin to ride the bus back to her home in Oklahoma City. Before departure time, the two ladies were joined by other relatves for lunch. They were Ralph and Cindy Shead, Carl Junction, and daughter Erin Shead, California, and Chris and Nick Nickerson, Joplin.
It was a happy ending to a great week. After the workers returned to their jobs, Vickie took Peggy on a tour to see the new construction where the tornado had destroyed so many homes and businesses a year ago.
Recent guests in the home of Betty and Lou Dehn were her son Brent and Christa Zeller and their children, Jillian, Brent Jr. and Miley Zeller from Lexington, Mo. On another week, Betty's daughter, Melissa Due and children Chelsi, Melody, Reece, Parker and Kyle visited in the Dehn home in Arcadia. All are from Missouri.
Benjamin Base, grandson of Jack and Mary Lee Payne, recently completed a five-year apprenticeship in electricity. He was sponsored by the Kansas City Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee and is now classified as a journeyman wireman with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
This achievement was celebrated in newspapers by his parents, Steve and Kelly Base at their home in Excelsior Springs, Mo. Many family members including his wife Faith, son Elijah and grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Jack Payne attended the celebration.
Born and raised in Arcadia, Kay Kauble Burr recently moved from Pittsburg to Arma, Kan., in May 2012. She is a graduate of AHS and carried and played the big bass drum while in the school's marching band. She wanted her former neighbors and friends to know of her change of address.
Charles and Willa Cable, pastors of Arcadia Christian Church, attended graduation at Baker University, Baldwin, Kan. Their granddaughter Loryn Woodworth and husband Andrew Woodworth graduated with bachelors of science degrees in social studies.
Fort Scott Christian Heights Elementary School children spent their last day of school on the Shead farm, rural Garland. Mrs. Shead, fifth and sixth grade teacher at the school, and husband Larry Shead hosted the students, parents and teachers.
Three event centers were set up for the student activities. One involved playing at the farm with kittens and baby ducks. The second involved swinging on different swings. The third was playing in the sandbox and just having farm fun.

Being a teacher , this is a comment I usually hear from children . adding and subtracting signed rationals worksheets is not one of the most popular topics amongst students . I never encourage my students to get ready made solutions from the web, however I do advise them to use Algebrator. I have developed a liking for this tool over the years . It helps the students learn math in an easy to understand way.

Atlantic Broadband will expand its footprint this summer in South Carolina to Wagener and surrounding communities, including Salley, Perry and Springfield.
The company will provide residents and businesses with cable TV, phone and Internet service as part of its value-packed bundles, or as standalone offerings.
The contractors are here, and the work has begun, said Wagener Mayor Miller. As I understand it, the installation should be complete here in August. It should be up and running by September. We all know about deadlines, so those are projected times.
Miller said Atlantic Broadbands move into the area is good news.
We need to have optimal service if we expect to attract businesses, small industry and things like that, he said.
Through Atlantic Broadbands expansion, residents will soon have access to communication and entertainment services through one local provider where customers can choose from TV, Internet and phone bundle prices.
Expanding to Wagener and surrounding areas allows us to provide residents and businesses with a one-stop shop for their communication and entertainment needs, something previously unavailable, said Atlantic Broadbands Vice President and General Manager Sam McGill. In addition to the availability of fast Internet, cable TV and phone, residential customers will also have access to the TiVo service from Atlantic Broadband, which provides game-changing entertainment as part of our bundle offerings.
The Wagener-Perry-Salley area has long been under-served by cable and broadband services, said S.C. Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken. In todays economy, expanded broadband services are essential to residents and businesses for the opportunity to prosper. I am delighted to see a company with local roots deliver Wagener and surrounding communities faster Internet, phone and TV services.

'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article

Skip to comments.Catholic Devotion: Pray the Rosary for the Souls at Risk (The Da Vinci Code)
Posted on 05/10/2006 5:22:21 PM PDT by Pyro7480
Here's something that all Catholics can do in the days before the the release of the Da Vinci Code movie. Pray the Rosary, with the intention that all those who are thinking about seeing the movie avoid doing so, so their souls may not be put at risk. If you say the Rosary daily, add this intention to those that you already have. If you can, pray the Rosary every day, during the nine days left before the release of the movie. Continue to pray the Rosary during the run of the movie in the theaters.
No matter what you think what should be done in response to the movie, this is a powerful action we can all take.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us!
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
Great Historical Victories of the Rosary (I know, it's a SSPX site, but the article was written by a Dominican)
Catholic ping!
Good idea. Churches should have adoration and benediction the day the movie starts.
Will do!!
Just a thought....
Matthew 6:5-8
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
I went to see United 93 and there were trailers for the Da Vinci Code. I didn't read the book, am not going to read it, and not going to see the movie.
My Question: Has anyone read the book and is the movie (essentially a crazy spy thriller nonsense stupid story) the same basic script as the book?
The trailers were some of the most stupid things I have ever seen and anyone who would believe any of that trash would have to be a dope.
I don't see anybody praying in public here. Do you?
Or do you object to a call to unite in prayer for a special intention?
If that is the case, do you object to the frequent prayer threads on FR?
The Lord's point is that we should pray with the right intention. It's not just about the location.
will do
Ping! This ought'a git yur gun.
According to freeper Sandyeggo, her pastor at St. Ephrem's Maronite Catholic Church, Fr. Nabil, believes that many souls will be lost as a result of this book. Thank you, Pyro, for an excellent suggestion. Our Blessed Mother hears our prayers and intercedes with her Son.
Thanks, Nyer! Wow, what a great suggestion. Thanks, Pyro. I'm on board. I'm sure each of us knows at least a few people who are being tricked by the (fiction) 'novel' and movie. And sandyeggo, what a blessing you have, and have shared with us!, to have such a holy Pastor.
I agree, intent is the purpose of prayer. I do not understand the Rosary portion. My intent is not to offend; but this seems counter to the instruction given in Matthew, in that it is a repetition, and not a soul-searching request to God. That is why I prefaced my post with the word 'Consider'.
God can take it and use it to His will. There will be people who see it who are drawn to the faith. Just mho.
If that is so, why did Our Lord repeat the same prayer in the garden the night before His Passion and Death?
My Question: Has anyone read the book and is the movie (essentially a crazy spy thriller nonsense stupid story) the same basic script as the book? The trailers were some of the most stupid things I have ever seen and anyone who would believe any of that trash would have to be a dope.
I haven't read it. Many of the people I know who've read it, and loved it, are Catholics, and quite a few of them are Catholic school teachers. Some give it as gifts, others encourage their students to read it. And they believe it as truth, finally freed up for us all. Sigh. My pastor (a temp, filling in) has stopped short of forbidding it and has made it known he is opposed to it, but few have paid attention to him on that.
I'm told (I haven't read it, just excerpts) that the movie is true to the book. I don't know about everyone here, but far too many people I know love it, and think it true, even when confronted with the point that it was written as fiction. Curiously many of these same folks are big Potter fans.
Thanks for the basic review. I know a number of people who have read the book. I'm sure its entertaining reading. The entire premise is silly. A conspiracy? Mighty big conspiracy kept way too tight for way too long. Entertaining, perhaps. Silly, certainly.

'Souls at risk' is a point O'Reilly couldn't grasp in todays radio show.
What exactly was he talking about, and did he have a guest on?
This is a devotional thread. You might want to ask the questions on a discussion thread, where you will get more response. Religious Moderator asked us to treat devotional threads that are marked devotional like being at church.
A Lady caller tried to get him to see that hollywood promoting heresy as a credible thought provoking movie was an endangerment to those struggling with their faith, as in new Christians and those in search of a knowledge of Christ. The Lady was quite articulate but Bill handled her too casually, even dismissively.
There are some reparation prayers that would be good, too:
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I bless You, I praise You, I glorify You, I magnify You, I adore You profoundly and I humbly raise my Spirit before you as I offer my prayer.
Lord, I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that You should have received from me, but because of my sinfulness, I have denied it to You.
Lord I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that you should have received from the human race since the time of Adam and Eve, but because of our sinfulness, we have denied it to You. I confess the sins of humanity and I am very sorry for them, Lord have Mercy on us.
Lord I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that you should have received from your Spiritual Creation which failed you through Lucifer and all the fallen spirits and angels and that has been denied to you.
I desire to do justice to You who are Justice and I offer you my life, united to the merits of your Holy Incarnate Word our Lord Jesus, His passion and His death, His precious body, blood, soul and divinity as reparation.
I also offer you the perfections, the virtues, the sorrows and the merits of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I offer you the merits of all the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the Apostles, the Martyrs, the Saints and those who have done Your Will through out the ages.
Blessed Mother Mary, with all the Heavenly Angels and Saints, and with all creation let us give Adoration, Honour, Praise and Glory to our God, forever and ever Amen.
"Golden Arrow"
(This prayer is said to have been revealed by Jesus Himself to a Carmelite Nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy. "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully," He said, "and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy.")
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar. 1
Imprimatur - T. J. Toolen, Archbishop of Mobile-Birm.
Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee.
The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hope of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole Hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus!
The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most generous Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart, model of every virtue!
The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more will we honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom of Heaven. Amen. 2
Nihil Obstat - John J. Clifford, S.J. Censor Liborum
Imprimatur - + Samuel A. Stritch, December 17, 1943 Archbishop of Chicago.
Praise to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Reparation for Blasphemy
Though the Virgin Mary is not God, she too is often insulted by unbelievers, and even by some who claim to love God! We Catholics cannot understand how someone could claim to love Jesus and not love the Mother He Himself loved so much. Yet since some people do just that, we, her children, might like to express our love for her to "make up" (so to speak) for the abuse and slander she endures. Since Jesus loves her so, He could only be pleased with the love we have for her. We love Mary for Jesus' sake, because He first loved her and gave her to us as our Mother.
Mary, my Immaculate Mother, I desire to offer you reparation for the offenses which your Immaculate Heart receives from the horrible blasphemies which are uttered against you. I offer you these praises to console you for so many ungrateful children who so not love you, and to console the Heart of your Divine Son Who is so deeply offended by the insults offered to you.
Receive, my Purest mother, this little act of homage. Make me love you more each day and look with pity on those blasphemers that they may not delay to cast themselves into your maternal arms. Amen.
V. Grant that I may praise you, O Holy Virgin.
R. Give me strength against your enemies.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy.
Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be her Immaculate Heart.
Blessed be her Virginal Purity.
Blessed be her Divine Maternity.
Blessed be her Universal Mediation.
Blessed be her sorrows and her tears.
Blessed be the graces with which the Lord crowned her Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Glory be to Mary, Daughter of the Father,
Glory be to Mary, Mother of the Son,
Glory be to Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit.
My Mother, I love you for those who do not love you; I praise you for those who blaspheme you; I surrender myself to you for those who will not recognize you as their Mother.
(Repeat the portion in bold type five times)
And of course the prayers taught to the children at Fatima:
Pardon Prayer
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I implore Your pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You. Amen.
Angel's Prayer
Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy Spirit - I adore You profoundly and offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the earth, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He Himself is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and those of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners. Amen.
Sacrifice Prayer
O my Jesus, it is for love of you and in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners.
Penance Prayer
O My Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Where did you get that from? My sources say:
Luke 22:39-53
39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. 40When he reached the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.* 41Then he withdrew from them about a stones throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done. [[ 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]]* 45When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46and he said to them, Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.* 47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him; 48but Jesus said to him, Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man? 49When those who were around him saw what was coming, they asked, Lord, should we strike with the sword? 50Then one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus said, No more of this! And he touched his ear and healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders who had come for him, Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit? 53When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness!
It almost might be an entertaining movie on it's own, but for me, it's been ruined by my friends who insist it's truth (Catholics, educators, moms) and why won't I acknowledge that? Then there's Ron Howard's insistence on painting Opus Dei as some demonic fiendish group, and his refusal to issue a disclaimer.
As a straight up fictional movie intended for entertainment, it might just be entertaining. I don't know. But, LOL, if I somehow see it, and I won't add to the opening weekend box office numbers, I agree, there will be some fun in the laughing at the silly parts.
The Rosary repetitions are not meaningless rote, they are devotional, and the Rosary also is about reflecting and meditating on the various Mysteries, and the fruit of each Mystery. For example, traditionally on Monday one says the Joyful Mysteries; the first being the Annunciation-
The angel said to Mary, "You shall conceive and bear a son and give him the name of Jesus. And he will be called Son of the Most High." Luke 1:31-32
The second is the Visitation, then the Birth of Jesus, the Presentation (in the Temple), and Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple. The respective Fruits being Humility, Love of Neighbor, Poverty, Obedience, and Joy in finding Jesus.
What a wonderful way to pray :)
I fail to see any scriptual references to any of these. These appear to be manufactured 'mysteries'; not biblical, but an effigy derived from the bible. Isn't the purpose of the Rosary a means of 'keeping score' on how many times you have repeated a set prayer? Again, I see nothing regarding this in the Old or New Testament.
Consider: Mark 7:7 - Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Thank you, these will be good, bookmarking.
No, it helps you keep track of where you are. Total, there are (in the original version) 150 Hail Mary's in the full Rosary, one for each Psalm. One of the origins of the Rosary is the uneducated substituting one prayer (the Our Father or a Hail Mary, for example) for each Psalm.
Revelation 4:8 (New International Version)
8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
Vain repetitions?
No one else on the park and ride bus route knows what I'm doing for that 30 minutes. Most people sleep anyway.
With regard to Rev. 4:8, is that a prayer, or is that adoration? It is not a prayer, it is a statement of adoration and devotion. This is not a prayer.
I think we would both agree that prayer is a private thing. If you pray quietly, or 'in secret' you can do so on a crowded bus. Unless I am gravely mistaken, I take that verse to mean that we should not be braggarts, standing in public, announcing to the world about how pious we are.
Again, where did this originate from? I see nothing in the Old or the New Testaments regarding repeating a set prayer in order to obtain blessings or forgiveness. In fact, I have already indicated that Matthew expressly forbade repeating the same prayer over and over.
May I direct your attention to:
Matthew 15: 2-9
Col. 2:22
Mark 7:7-13: "But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of men."
Funny, but I started softly plain chanting it in the car this week.
I understand your questions. However, I must say, this thread is not the place to do it. It is marked as a devotional thread.
Sorry, I didn't realize that this was not a discussional thread, but that this was a Devotional thread. No offense was intended, and I do hope none was received.
No offense on my end. God bless you.
True enough. We shouldn't be standing on street corners shouting so others can see how pious we are.
OTOH, I think rallying the troops for a united prayer is a great thing. It's been done here before. During the run up to the last presidential election people signed up for an hour of prayer/devotion to do each day. The point was to make sure there was non-stop prayer from a focused group.
It is objected that there is much repetition in the Rosary inasmuch as the Lords Prayer and the Hail Mary are said so often: therefore it is monotonous. That reminds me of a woman who came to see me one evening after instructions. She said, I would never become a Catholic. You say the same words in the Rosary over and over again, and anyone who repeats the same words is never sincere. I would never believe anyone who repeated his words, and neither would God. I asked her who the man was with her. She said he was her fiancé. I asked: Does he love you? Certainly, he does. But how do you know? He told me. What did he say? He said: I love you. When did he tell you last? About an hour ago. Did he tell you before? Yes, last night. What did he say? I love you. But never before? He tells me every night. I said: Do not believe him. He is repeating; he is not sincere.
The beautiful truth is that there is no repetition in I love you. Because there is a new moment of time, another point in space, the words do not mean the same as they did at another time or space. A Mother says to her son: You are a good boy. She may have said it ten thousand times before, but each time it means something different; the whole personality goes out to it anew, as a new historical circumstance summons forth a new outburst of affection. Love is never monotonous in the uniformity of its expression. The mind is infinitely variable in its language, but the heart is not. The heart of a man, in the face of the woman he loves, is too poor to translate the infinity of his affection into a different word. So the heart takes one expression, I love you, and in saying it over and over again, it never repeats. . . .(emphasis added)
That is what we do when we say the Rosary we are saying to God, the Trinity, to the Incarnate Savior, to the Blessed Mother: I love you, I love you, I love you. Each time it means something different because, at each decade, our mind is moving to a new demonstration of the Saviors love: for example, from the mystery of His Love that willed to become one of us in His Incarnation, to the other mystery of love when He suffered for us, and on to the other mystery of His love when He intercedes for us before the Heavenly Father.
Fulton J. Sheen, The World's First Love pp. 207-208
That's great. I love it. ;-)
According to Reductio, whose baby was baptised by this same Fr. Nabil mere weeks ago, would claim that Fr. Nabil would without a doubt state that many souls will be saved by the effects of the recitation of the Holy Rosary; there is much to hope for, so thank you for an excellent suggestion Pyro and God bless Fr. Nabil, a most excellent Maronite priest.
Ah, I think you pinged the wrong person. My full screen name is Pyro7480.
Good idea! Thanks!
Close enough.
Great idea.
The stupid movie won't have an effect on fervent souls, but those who are wavering in their faith will be effected.
They are obviously oblivious to what the church is truly all about.
These people seem to be lost souls. Unbelievable.
And to give it as gifts to students really shows that they are in absolute ignorance of the Church and her history. These people need to go back to school.
They do need our prayers, and perhaps a rosary as well.

Anyone watching the Eagles-Redskins game Sunday night might've wondered why WR Todd Pinkston pulled up short on a long pass over the middle from Donovan McNabb. Apparently he lost it in the lights. I was watching the play in question, and unless "I lost it in the lights" is a euphemism for "I stopped running because I didn't want to get the stuffing knocked out of me by the safety," then I'm not convinced. To make matters worse, Joe Theismann spent the next few minutes accusing Pinkston of having "alligator body." Nice. (free registration/bugmenot required)
Remember when the Eagles sacked Ben Roethlisberger eight times in 2008? Scott Kacsmar takes a stroll down memory lane with a look at the last time the Steelers played in Philadelphia, the No. 1 team in DVOA in 2008.

China Vanke Co. 000002 0.69 % will invest 135.5 million Singapore dollars (US$109.3 million) for a 30% stake in an upscale condominium project in Singapore, marking its third project outside mainland China as it looks to expand its footprint globally.
The latest cross-border deal comes as more Chinese developers look beyond the mainland to diversify and tap into the rising demand of Chinese migrants and investors.
Vanke, China's largest developer by revenue, will buy the stake from Singapore's Keppel Land Ltd. and the two developers will jointly build the 726-unit condominium in the Tanah Merah district on Singapore's eastern coast, according to a stock exchange statement by Keppel Land.
"We are confident that our first joint development project in Tanah Merah will set the pace for future collaborations in Singapore and China," Vanke President Yu Liang said.
Vanke and Keppel Land said they will co-develop property in China and Singapore. Keppel Land, which develops mainly offices and residential property, won a government land tender for the 3.2-hectare Tanah Merah site with a S$434.6 million bid in October. The project is expected to get off the ground in the second half this year, Keppel Land said.
Vanke is a household name in China, with operations in 60 cities around the country. Sales reached 141.2 billion yuan ($22.8 billion) in 2012, up 16% from 2011.
In January, the Shenzhen-based developer teamed up with New World Development Co. NDVLY 1.13 % to purchase a residential site in Hong Kong for 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars ($438 million), in its first project outside mainland China. A month later, it said it was investing $175 million in a joint-venture luxury condo project with a total of 655 units in San Francisco with Tishman Speyer.
Vanke and Tishman Speyer have presold 200 units in the U.S. project to mainland Chinese investors, the China News Service reported earlier this week, quoting Vanke Chairman Wang Shi in Boston. According to documents by Tishman Speyer, it expects 40% of the project to be sold to Chinese investors and Chinese migrants, Mr. Wang said.
Also trying to cater to demand from Chinese buyers, Shanghai-based Greenland Group said in March it bought a residential and hotel project in Sydney from Canadian firm Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for 107.5 million Australian dollars (US$110.9 million),
Many home buyers have been shut out of the property market on the mainland because of government steps to cool the domestic property market for fear that surging housing prices could hurt social stability.

Gone are the days when you needed to be a member of a church before the minister would conduct your wedding service, or lead a memorial service. In fact, there are no longer any real 'perks' when it comes to membership in the church. And membership is not compulsory - you don't need to be a member to belong to our community - to worship with us or be a part of anything we're doing.
Why become a member of the church, then? Well, membership is for anyone wanting to commit to the journey of becoming a mature follower of Jesus. Our calling as a church is to make mature disciples of Jesus, so if you want to take that step, then we want to help! We believe that a commitment to worship, serve, connect, give and learn will help followers of Jesus to grow and mature as disciples of Christ. And so we aim to provide resources and encouragement to help our members to develop in these areas.
In very practical terms then, to encourage the process of growing in maturity, we invite our people to:
- worship regularly as a congregation and in private devotions
- serve in some capacity within the church or wider community
- connect with others through belonging to a home group / women's group etc
- give of our time, talents and money in support of the work of God
- keep learning through reading, studying, participating in courses
We can't think of a better place to be than on this road of growth and discovery - come and join us!

Fixed PriceBudget: $300
Start DateMarch 3, 2013
I've got a design of my new portfolio which can be seen here – http://i.imgur.com/WAmiCBz.jpg – The idea is when you click on the "Some of the things I've done" it opens a pop up as per this example – http://i.imgur.com/oTmz8bF.jpg – Also EMAIL should just link to an email address – Also underneath you can see an example of a single portfolio item which below on the right has the aqua circle (which is the selected image of the first portfolio item and the other two shapes representing the other images in that single portfolio item although with these I want these to constantly be changing so circle, square, square, triangle, pentagon so there kind of like a gif if that makes sense). Also I want this tied in with a cms so I can add more portfolio items below and be able to put a description for them as per the example. Other things I want done with the website, the logo "JAMES BOURBON" will be a gif which can be seen here (obviously won't be displayed that large) – http://i.imgur.com/SzrkqVB.gif – Also with the background with the lines, my idea for these is for them to be animated so they scroll across the screen and change angles and stuff but never actually cross over each other to give it some movement, also the squiggly breaking aqua lines the idea for these is they kind of squiggle, so from a straight line it goes squiggly to straight and vice versa but looped. Also on the clickable links such as "Email" and "Some of the things I've done" I'd like them to have a roll over effect of going fuzzy and kind of spread out really quickly then back to normal.
Please do not respond if you do not completely understand the task at hand but any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Ovingham Bridge is a vehicle and pedestrian bridge across the River Tyne at Ovingham, Northumberland, England. Following a lengthy refurbishment programme by the owners Northumberland County Council, Ovingham Bridge re-opened to vehicles on Monday 5th September 2016.
The bridge is a single track of reduced width for cars and light vans only. There is no footpath; pedestrians use the separate footbridge that runs alongside and with the same deck level. The center piers are set wider, allowing the deck to spread and two vehicles can pass, although this is rare. No traffic controls are installed; drivers observe the far end and wait or enter the bridge using a set of unwritten rules that usually function well.
It was built in 1883 by the Ovingham Bridge Company and replaced the earlier ferry.[1] The steel tubes are marked Dorman Long Middlesbrough, the firm that designed and built the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge. It was originally opened and operated as a toll bridge until 1945.[2]
The toll house has long since been demolished. It was located on the down stream side at the southern end of the bridge.[3] In 1974 a footbridge was erected alongside, immediately downstream of the main bridge.
In 2009 both bridges underwent a strengthening programme as they had been closed during the January floods of 2005. Gabions have been installed around the base of the pilings to prevent scour and river channel has been dredged to direct the main flow away from the piers. As the original piling depths are not recorded, brackets have been welded to the pilings and seismic pulse testing performed.
On June 30, 2014 the vehicle bridge was closed for extensive maintenance projected to take around 12 months. A small closing ceremony saw the last vehicle to cross - a horse and cart - as a reminder of the first vehicle to cross when it was originally opened. During May and June 2014, access trackways were built to the underside of both ends of the bridges, and extensive steel scaffolding installed below and to both sides of the bridge structure. The scaffolds even incorporate wooden boarded cutwaters to protect the scaffold if the river should flood. Lattice long span 'unit beams' are fitted to all spans except the North and South. Concrete pads have been cast below the bridge end spans adjacent to the approach roads for so the spans can be jacked up. Presumably this is to access or modify the area where the steel bridge rests on the stone abutment. The bridge deck including cross beams are due to be completely replaced. The footbridge will also be closed and have new decking. Pedestrians will use the main bridge whilst this is underway.[4]
