Reiki is an ancient, gentle, touch-based healing method that stimulates the same bio-electric fields as acupuncture. Reiki helps you relax, encourages better sleep, reduces anxiety, and allows your body and spirit to remember how to heal.
Reiki is a simple, yet powerful technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The earliest archaeological evidence for the treatment was found in Tibet, dating back approximately ten thousand years, and was rediscovered in Japan, in 1922, by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is administered via the "laying on" of hands, and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy," or aura, flows through us. There are various words for this force in all the different cultures and religions of the world — to the Japanese it's ki, to the Chinese it's qi (chi), Christians call it light, Hindus say prana, Muslims call it baraka, and in our modern language, we use the words bio-energy, or cosmic energy.
Reiki replenishes and rebalances this energy, and amplifies our innate abilities to heal ourselves. In doing so, it balances the mind, body and spirit, thus activating a feeling of wellbeing. It is used in many hospitals, massage and chiropractic clinics, spas, fitness clubs and naturopathic clinics – just to name a few.
Reiki Reduces:
- pain
- stress
- fatigue
- insomnia
- anxiety
Reiki Promotes:
- your body's natural healing process (mental/emotional, physical and spiritual)
- restful sleep
- relaxation
- overall sense of well-being
Reiki is not a substitute for receiving medical, psychological or other treatment and serves as a complimentary therapy to many treatments such as:
- psychotherapy
- life coaching
- acupuncture
- chemotherapy
- radiation
- surgery
Reiki does not require you to be of any particular religion or belief system. All it requires is that you be open to receiving for your highest good. The experience of each Reiki session varies greatly from person to person, allowing you to receive and experience exactly what you need at the time. Your Higher Self and Reiki work together to create the experience that is right for you. The practitioner is merely a conduit for the healing energy to flow.

The plan to turn Medicare into 'We Don't Care'
Apparently, Rep. Paul Ryan missed the outcome of last November's presidential election. Oh, wait — wasn't he on the ballot in that election as Mitt Romney's running mate? Well, yes, but less than five months later, the Wisconsin Republican seems to have forgotten that he and the Mittster were soundly rejected. Maybe the trauma of …

Hulk HoganTerry Gene Bollea
- Birthdate: 08/11/1953 (age 63)
- Height: 6'7"
- Weight: 302 Ib
Hogan enjoyed mainstream popularity in the 1980...
On the sex tape: "I actually came to New York City on a trip that was already booked and planned to promote our new timeslot, 8pm on Spike for our show on Impact, and also pump our Super Bowl of wrestling, Bound for Glory. All of sudden, out of nowhere, this tape gets released and it was game changer. I had options, stay home, tail between my legs, not come up here, but that's not me. It's not my deal. If I did something, I'm accountable, and if I didn't do it I'll tell you the truth. That's who I am, good or bad. So I'm here brother."
On how his kids are handling it: "I don't want to say good, but okay. They have been through a lot. They were in a household where there was a lot of crazy stuff going on, and when I went through the divorce and I tapped out, and I don't do crazy anymore, they still love their mother; they still have to deal with a lot of crazy stuff sometimes. They are used to stuff being pretty intense. With the accident my son had and everything like that, there has been a lot of stuff that has made them grow up real fast. Thank God Brooke is 24 and Nick is 22 because something like this, some people can just listen to one side of the story. Like when they were 10 and 12 they may have only listened to one side of the story, so thank God, they know who I am and what I am about. And my new wife doesn't have anything to do with media or the entertainment business. All this ridiculous sex stuff happened before I even met her. Because if it happened last week or last year, I would tell her. That's what I do, I step up. If I did something, I did it. If I didn't, it's not true. I'm not releasing a tape for timing reasons to promote a pay per view bro."
On the tape's release: "About 7 months ago some pictures leaked out, so right away I figured out there was a camera in there. No one cares about the "woe is me" story that's all so what. Everyone in here has a woe is me story, whether its parents, problems, girlfriend, money, woe is me, no one cares. That's so what. What matters is, what now? But what now is, I'm accountable, I'm the guy there. But there is a woe is me story, which nobody cares about. The woe is me story is, Bubba and Heather they were married, were my friends. Heather was always a great mother, always kind. Bubba was always my best friend. And they liked to party, which had nothing to do with me. But all of a sudden, about two years before the incident, Heather started saying, "Hey, I want to have sex with you" "I want to party." I was just like "yeah right, whatever." Nice compliment for an old guy like me. But Bubba was cool too, "Hey man it's okay, it's okay!" and he admits it wide open. And so this went on for a couple years. And the woe is me story is, all time low, when I was living at the big "Hogan Knows Best" house with my sons precision driving team, and my wife was really unhappy with the marriage and pretty much told me she didn't want to be married to me and whatever goes along with that. So I was at an all time low, and I was with Bubba when we went back to his house and this offer was thrown at me, and I just said to hell with it. And that's the "woe is me" story, which doesn't really matter because I made a bad choice. And the thing that is so disturbing to me is that I have been defending Bubba across the board. Because I asked him, "Where did the camera come from?" "I even asked you because I know you have security cameras in your house; you're not filming this are you?" He was like "No, I would never do that to you, how dare you insult me." When the pictures came out, I said "What's up! This was on your watch?" and he said "Oh, it must have been Heather that did it." It's crazy dude. You got to stop this. Up until the day before yesterday, when I was coming up here and they released part of the video, I told Bubba, they showed part of the tape and...

Skip to comments.Morning Joe: If You Oppose Bloombergs Gun Grabbing, You Might Be an Anti-Semite (Sharpton Agrees)
Posted on 03/26/2013 7:01:49 AM PDT by lbryce
Those who are losing an argument often resort to smearing their opponents. Mike Barnicle, who a few years back was caught plagiarizing and Al Sharpton, The Worst of Al Sharpton who a few years before that built his career by accusing an innocent man of rape have resorted to smearing those of us who think New York Mike Bloomberg should at least confine his overbearing nannyist instincts to the city that actually elected him.
Lets get down to it, Mike Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, theres a level of anti-semitism in this thing directed towards Bloomberg, Barnicle said on this mornings show.
No doubt about it, Sharpton responded. He continued: If he was not a big-city Jewish man and was from another ethnic group, in some parts, I think it would be different.
MSNBC employs both of these unapologetic and unethical smear artists.
Do you have to flunk an IQ test to work for MSNBC?
No. The union outlawed that years ago.
Ha,ha...good one...thanks for my first laugh of the morning. I wonder of Barnicle's and Sharpton's collective IQs rises above a plate of cabbage.
Their entire audience (both people) are in complete agreement with them.
When it comes to being an anti-semite who would know better than Al Sharpton? Except maybe Jesse Jackson?
Yes, and please...use the proper station name: MSLSD as Mark Levin would say.
He'll be there all week.
The race card is working so well for Barry that it appears the commie left are going to try out a new anti-Semite card.
The irony of Al Sharpton calling anyone an anti-semite is palpable. Even better is Al Sharpton jumping on Barnicle's Bandwagon. Barnicle is a half-wit fabulist, poseur, and plagiarist. When the Globe finally fired his sorry ass, Howie Carr loudly proclaimed on his radio show, "A boil on the ass of Boston journalism has been lanced." Only to erupt again on MSNBC, which, let's face it, has a lot of asses.
I think it's a citizenship test they flunk, comrade. :-)
In other words, as he's proven the case, get the comments in before thinking if they make the slightst sense.
how about a new series of ads:
NYC bloomberg does not own me.
Has bloomberg bought your senator?
ooooooohh thats good!!!!!!!!!!!!
please post that EVERYWHERE
Now, you'll what you've done. You've gotten regurgitated coffee all over my keyboard.
It's an even more twisted version of Examination Day by Henry Seslar. You are tested as a child and if your IQ is too high you are killed and if it is sufficiently low you get a show on MSDNC.
So let me get this straight. If I disagree with gun bans and want to have a large soda, I must be antisemitic. If I disagree with Obama on the issues, I must be a racist. And never forget the basis for liberal thought; if you disagree with liberal values, you must not be intelligent.
Sharpton calling somebody antisemitic is TRULY the pot calling the kettle black.
Would love to see Sharpton storm into a Cabela's and start lecturing the customers on their racism & antisemitism.
Would LOVE to see it. Of course Sharpton would bring his posse and then things would get dicey in a hurry. Talk about a great video!
GMTA - my immediate thought was that it takes one to know one. His history would certainly qualify him as a subject matter expert.
Didn't JJSr already call NYC "hymie town"?
One nice thing about these morons and their charges of "Racism." The frequency of their claims shall eventually render the charge a nullity.
So,let me get this straight;If I oppose ANYTHING proposed by "DoomBerg",I'm an"AntiSemite"?If I oppose ANYTHING proposed(or MANDATED)by Obongo,I'm a RACIST??I just want to know where I stand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MSNBC has a new name — the LOONEY BIN Channel!!
This is beyond absurd.
Disagreeing with Bloombottom or Obama is not being anti-Semitic or racist.
However, it can be safely stated that the ACTIONS of Bloombottom certainly has fanned the flames of antisemitism just as Obozo and his ilk have poured Napalm on the last embers of racism until they are burning with an intensity which could burn us all.
Also the 70+% of Jews who voted for the destroyer of the all things American, Obozo, did not help to quell antisemitism.
Ping to the above.
Seriously . . . does anyone listen to Barnicle and Sharpton? If a tree falls in the forest but there's no there to listen does it make a sound?

First Lesson
Proverbs 10:12-14,18-21
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
Second Lesson
Philippians 1:27-2:11
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Cadeaux thriving in Singapore
Red Cadeaux is said to be in prime condition as he prepares for another performance on the world stage.
- Related Content
The Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji on Sunday is the latest venture for Ed Dunlop's globe-trotter after taking in the delights of Japan (twice), Australia, Hong Kong and Dubai.
The seven-year-old trotted over the first lap with track rider Stephen Nicholson up and then cantered over a mile on the Polytrack on Monday.
- Profiles
"He's happy as Larry and he's fit as a flea," said Dunlop's assistant Robin Trevor-Jones.
"We'll have to step up on his work, though. He'll work on grass on Thursday. His weight is also good. He's very fit as he just came back from Japan where he ran two miles. They went pretty quick in that race - 11 seconds a furlong.
"A mile and a quarter is always a worry for him, but he's surprised us every time, like in the Dubai World Cup. Animal Kingdom took off early but he made ground on him.
"A lot will depend on the draw as well. I've done my homework and, over a mile and a quarter, I think anything between three and seven would be good."
Trevor-Jones believes German challenger Pastorius will pose the biggest threat to Red Cadeaux in the mile-and-a-quarter showpiece.
"If Pastorius brings his A game to Singapore, he'll be hard to beat, but if he doesn't, our horse will beat him," he said.
Godolphin's representative Hunter's Light also pleased connections when he cantered over 10 furlongs on the Polytrack.
"He's all ready for Tuesday's gallop on grass," said trainer Saeed bin Suroor's travelling foreman Richard Corona.
"He missed the last gallop last week because it rained. The track is perfect now - good to soft."

Toledo police have charged a Whitehouse man with impersonating an officer after they say he misidentified himself at headquarters downtown.
Joseph Ritenour, 61, of 5210 S. Berkey Southern Rd. is also charged with providing false information to an officer, criminal trespassing, and disorderly conduct. Tuesday in Toledo Municipal Court, he was ordered to be freed from the Lucas County jail. His case was continued until today at 1 p.m.
Two police officers said they stopped a man Monday night at the Safety Building and found him opening doors to police cars. When they stopped the man, he reportedly said he worked for the department and his name was Lieutenant Collins. Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan said there is a Lt. Mark Collins in the department.

Kung Fu Panda Gallery
Po the Panda (voiced by Jack Black) is a lowly noodle restaurant waiter and kung fu fanatic whose shape doesn't exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. And that's a big problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all Hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day. Kung Fu Panda is released on DVD on November 17, 2008. Check out some photos…

I recently had a dinner visit with a conservative friend. It's not often that I unmask myself as a former "occupier." He seemed surprised that I took part in the movement. When people ask, it can seem hard to explain why Occupy Wall Street took place. In my mind, it is harder to understand why the occupation didn't start sooner. Some say we failed, or that we disappeared. In reality, many of the 99% could not understand who we were because of the twisted stories the media produced. In actuality, we did not disappear, we just "occupied" the role of problem-solving. Many of us continue to work for the common good.
I recently found an old copy of The Occupied Wall Street Journal. I was thinking of throwing it away, as I disdain clutter in my life. But this artifact bears a bittersweet memory. This article does a good job of articulating the reason Wall Street was Occupied: Why We Fight.
Here is another excerpt from The Occupied Wall Street Journal that I could not find online to link:
THEY TELL YOU WE ARE DREAMERS. The true dreamers are those who think things can go on indefinitely the way they are. We are not dreamers. We are awakening from a dream which is turning into a nightmare. We are not destroying anything. We are only witnessing how the system is destroying itself. To be engaged in fighting for freedom, you have first to free yourself from the chains of ruling ideology. When you criticize capitalism, don't allow yourself to be blackmailed that you are against democracy. THE CHANGE IS POSSIBLE. – Slavoj Zizek, Liberty Square, NYC, October 2011
As I think back, the other amazing thing about Occupy, was the direct democratic vote by consensus. When we would tell police officers that we had no leader, they found it hard to believe. And yet, even leaderless, we made decisions as a group. The process was pretty amazing. This article explains how we were Enacting the Impossible.
Printed is also a timeline of the global Occupy Movement, but again, not digitized – so I go to the web logs.
- 17 Dec, 2010: Tunisia
- 25 Jan, 2011: Egypt & The Arab Spring
- 17 Feb, 2011: Wisconsin & Ohio
- 15 May, 2011: Spain
- 25 May, 2011: Greece
- 17 Sept, 2011: OWS
- 29 Sept, 2011: The Declaration of Occupation
- Oct 5, 2011: Labor Moves
- 14-15 Oct, 2011: The Sweep
- (24 Sept) 25 Oct, 2011: Police Violence
- 2 Nov, 2011: General Strike Thousands march in solidarity across the country.
- 15 Nov, 2011: The 1% Attacks Oakland mayor admits she was on a conference call strategizing with mayors of 18 cities, while an official from the DOJ indicated that each action was coordinated with help from the DHS and the FBI along with other federal agencies.
And then The Protester occupied TIME Magazine. Wow, I made Person of the Year! What an honor🙂
You might say I'm a dreamer – but I'm not the only one. We get our strength while living in the reality of the present moment. And the compassionate heart wants kind justice. When the goal becomes to change the world, or even just another person, or ourselves – the challenge is overwhelming – and as such, the reaction can become aggressive. Change happens naturally – reality is always in flux. We must never stop asking ourselves what makes reality a reality. It is then that we discover that reality is fluid, not concrete. When we live kindly and fearlessly, the outcome is compassion and peace.

KILMARNOCKThe Lancaster school board began the selection process to identify and hire a new superintendent during a special session Monday morning at the central office.
According to Virginia School Board Association (VSBA) deputy executive director Gina Patterson, 52 of the 133 school districts in Virginia are searching for a new superintendent in 2014.
District three member Don McCann made the motion to work with VSBA at a cost of $5,500 and to approve a timeline for the search. The measure passed on a 4-0 vote. District 4 member Patrick McCranie could not attend the meeting.
This week, the school board launched an electronic survey seeking public input from Lancaster citizens on what qualifications they would like to have in their new superintendent.
"Hiring a new superintendent is the biggest task facing a school board," said chairman Alexander Fleet. "We want to make sure that the public has a voice in this process. We hope that parents, staff and residents will take time to fill out the survey and attend the public hearing."
The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com/s/lcpssupt, the school district homepage and the central office. January 15 is the deadline for completing the survey.
A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. January 15 in the media center at Lancaster Middle School, 191 School Street, Kilmarnock, to gather feedback from parents, citizens and community leaders on the selection of the superintendent.
The school board will accept applications from qualified candidates between January 20 and February 14. To qualify, candidates must hold or be eligible to hold a valid division superintendent license issued by the Virginia Board of Education.
A special post office box has been set up to secure and protect the identity of applicants. Applications from internal and external candidates should be addressed to Lancaster School Board, P.O. Box 112, Kilmarnock VA 22482.
Applications will be reviewed by the board and VSBA in a closed session on February 25. Interviews with qualified candidates are expected to begin around March 15 with the announcement of a new superintendent planned for April or May.

The Casa Cuba from Arturo Fuente – Bringing back tradition in a modern world.
Recently receiving an superb 91-rating from Cigar Aficionado magazine in the April 2016 issue!
The Casa Cuba is a household name believe it or not. First registered in 1956 by the Casa Cuba Cigar factory of Tampa, Fl., they were eventually bought out by the Arturo Fuente Cigar Company in the late 1970's, but has remained relatively low key in the cigar world until their small release earlier in 2013. Now the Fuente family is making a push with the Casa Cuba and has been the talk of the town ever since the 2013 IPCPR Tradeshow.
The Casa Cuba utilizes an Ecuadorian wrapper over Dominican fillers, blended skillfully by family patriarch Carlos Fuentes Sr. Construction of the Casa Cuba is absolutely impeccable and "Blended to the taste of Mr. Fuentes himself" from head to foot. Smooth to the touch and a subtle oily sheen, the Casa Cuba is a great looking cigar from the outside. The inner workings are packed tightly but not too tight as to give off a rough draw. This cigar is smooth with subtle hints of spice from the moment you light up to the moment you reach the final nub. We currently carry the 6 x 52's 'Doble Seis', 5.5 x 44 Doble Tres, 4.5 x 54 Doble Cuatro, and 5 x 50 Doble Cinco, in singles and packs of three. This is an "old fashioned" cigar that is blended in Fuente's Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia factory in the Dominican Republic. Don't be left out of the smoking dens inner circle without a Casa Cuba cigar. Sure to make a great addition to your humidors repertoire.
Available IN STORE and If interested please call.

The topic of affordable housing brings strong feelings out whenever it is discussed. Affordable housing may not, however, be the biggest idea with the most far-reaching consequences. The Association of Bay Area Governments requires that, for the most part, higher density zoning must take place when the housing element including the affordable housing sites is certified. What housing gets built and whether the housing gets built is secondary. If sufficient sites zoned for multifamily housing are not available then zoning for it must take place. The ABAG allocations are really about forced up-zoning when you look below the surface. Many city planners think up-zoning leads to compact development which will stop climate change, although the costs of rebuilding our cities and the emissions engendered are staggering.
Different folks have different views of this up-zoning. Some developers like it because it presents them with opportunities to build. Some owners like it because they want to sell to take advantage of the higher prices up-zoned land will bring. Some owners who don't want their neighborhoods to be disturbed don't like it.
People who believe in what is dubiously named Smart Growth think up-zoning is taming urban sprawl and that people living crowded together will naturally take mass transit if given the chance and that this will lower carbon emissions. If you make the driving and parking difficult and expensive enough and create a network of buses and trains, they believe people will walk and use transit. The subtext is that suburban environments must become urbanized.
These overviews tell you a little about the various groups--governmental, nonprofit and others---who are driving the mandated zoning, housing allocations, and incentivized transit oriented development (TOD), otherwise called high density housing close to trains and buses.
The Basics
What is the meaning of Smart Growth
The meaning of Smart Growth depends on who is defining it. Smart Growth is what planners and housing advocates refer to, sung as a litany. Smart Growth is supposedly the cure for urban sprawl, a means of providing housing for the poor, and the way for clear our skies of greenhouse gases. It extolls urban living as superior to suburban living and mass transit to driving an automobile. In the Bay Area this means favoring high density housing on arterials and near major transportation centers or corridors. The Greenbelt Alliance speakers sometimes describe single family residences on large lots as outdated, unaffordable, and environmentally unfriendly.
The Smart Growth set of theories has been settling in and consolidating at all levels of government since around 2000 with the major results only now being strongly felt in Novato in the second round of housing allocations by Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). Novato built a tremendous number of affordable housing units in the first round in the one time only repurposing of Hamilton Air Force Base and then was hit with a demand for more housing production of almost the same scale.
To understand what has hit us, you need to be able to identify the agencies at each level of government.The common thread at every level of government can be identified. The EPA finances a great deal of information dissemination which in wartime would have probably been called propaganda. In this day and age we call it PR. What is shocking is that sources which would have been considered biased 20 years ago are now invited to negotiate and to participate with scant requirement that their positions be identified as special interests. According to the President's Plan for Sustainable Communities of 10-20 years ago which is now Obama's Partnership for Sustainable Communities (and much more comprehensive) they are now 'stakeholders'.The middle class has practically been relegated to a category of inchoate recalcitrants who must be re-educated by the many urban planners and other enthusiasts of Smart Growth. Separating theory from fact and enthusiasm from end results has become very much harder in 2011 than in 1999. Resisting the pressure to turn our town into a refuge for large dense apartment buildings to satisfy the state of California's thirst for metropolitan expansion will take a lot of effort.

Metropolitan Transportation Commission ("MTC")
"Created by the state Legislature in 1970 (California Government Code 66500 et. seq.). The MTC is the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area." 2And as the Bay Area has grown, MTC"s responsibilities have increased. Now "MTC is three agencies in one with a shared mission: to keep the Bay Area moving". Any new transportation project in the San Francisco Bay Area must be included in Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC's) long-range Regional Transportation Plan(RTP) to qualify
for state and/or federal funds. The regional transportation plan (RTP) is a 25-year plan that is updated every four years to guide Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) investments. "MTC promotes Bay Area priorities to the state and federal governments". "
The nine-counties consist of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma. "The Commission's work is guided by a 19-member policy board, 16 voting members and three nonvoting members. "Of the 16 voting members, 14 commissioners are appointed directly by local elected officials. In each of the five most populous counties Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara two commissioners are appointed; one by the county's council of mayors and council members (in San Francisco, by the mayor) and one by the county board of supervisors. In each of the less populous counties, Marin, Napa, Solano and Sonoma the county council of mayors nominates up to three candidates to the board of supervisors, which selects one commissioner." The other two members represent regional agencies – the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). "Finally, three nonvoting members have been appointed to represent federal and state transportation agencies and the federal housing department. " They represent the state's Business Transportation and Housing Agency, Federal Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Dept. of Transportation. Most of the commissioners are local elected officials. All commissioners serve four year terms and can be reappointed. The chair and vice chair are elected by voting members of MTC, and serve a two year terms.
"MTC functions as both regional transportation planning agency (a state designation) and, for federal purposes, as the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO, a federal designation). It is responsible for regularly updating" the Regional Transportation Plan, (RTP), a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport, railroad, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. MTC also screens requests from local agencies for state/federal grants for transportation projects to determine their compatibility with the plan." Transportation 2035 was adopted in April 2009. This plan charts a new course for MTC, particularly with regard to reducing greenhouse gas and financing future transportation improvements. MTC plays a major role in building regional consensus on where and
when to expand the Bay Area transit network. "In 2001 MTC laid out the next phase of major regional public transit investments in Resolution 3434. This agreement, which was reaffirmed and refined in 2006, features additional rail investment, significant expansion of bus rapid transit and ferry service," and also (TOD) Transit-Oriented Development. (meaning intensive housing and commercial development around transit stations.)
"Over the years, state and federal laws have given MTC an increasingly important role in financing Bay Area transportation improvements. To help set priorities for the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing each year to the Bay Area from flexible federal funding programs, MTC convened the Bay Area Partnership, which is made up of some three dozen transportation and environmental agencies with a stake in the region's future. Using these federal dollars, MTC has established several innovative grant programs that are changing the Bay Area landscape. MTC's transportation for livable communities (TLC) provides planning and capital grants for small-scale transportation projects that enhance community vitality and promote walking, bicycling and public transit use. MTC Low Income Flexible Transportation
Program (LIFT) funds new or expanded services for getting low-income residents to and from work, school and other essential destinations."
MTC devotes considerable energy to advocacy efforts in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to ensure an adequate flow of funding for the maintenance and expansion of the Bay Area's transportation network.
With respect to Marin County, MTC oversees the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) and SMART (Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit).

SMART Train - Overview
Assembly Bill #2224:
1 "This bill would create the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) District within the Counties of Sonoma and Marin. The bill would establish a 12 member board of directors to govern the district."
2 So on January 1, 2003 Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) district was established with engineering, implementing and planning SMART. The passenger train will run from Cloverdale to a Ferry Terminal (Larkspur) that connects to San Francisco.
3 The 12 member Board consisting of elected officials: two county supervisors each form Sonoma and Marin counties, three appointed City Council members from each country two representatives from the Golden Gate Bridge District.
4 From Cloverdale to Larkspur there will be 14 stations along the corridor (9 in Sonoma, 5 in Marin)"designed to accommodate available feeder bus service, shuttle services and in selected suburban locations, park and ride facilities Station with the downtown areas of the three largest cities in the North Bay – anta Rosa, Petaluma and San Rafael – are being designed with no park and ride facilities, only bus and feeder services."
44 "Estimated 14 roundtrip trains per day, operating at 30-minute intervals in the morning and evening peak commuting hours during the week. Bicycles will be allowed on board the trains, and weekend service also will be provided.
2008 Measure Q:
45 "¼ Percent sales tax over a 20 years (4/1/2009-3/31/2029)would fund a commuter rail system with a parallel bicycle/pedestrian pathway." It passed Sonoma, Marin counties with a combined 70% voter approval. Measure Q expanded AB2224 requirement to include a $91 million bicycle/pedestrian pathway connecting Cloverdale to Larkspur rail stations. 5 And also required SMART Board to establish a Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) to provide input and review of initial Strategic Plan, and update.
As of today, the SMART train ridership projections account for less than 1% of the trips between Sonoma and Marin.
The MTC model used in the 2005 Travel Demand Forecasting Report estimated that 4,756 riders are projected to use daily rail service in 2025 between Cloverdale and Larkspur. The heaviest use of the train service will be during the 3-hour morning and evening periods. Most heavily utilized station will be Windsor, Santa Rosa at Jennings Ave, Downtown Santa Rosa.
The concentration of riders is clearly not inter-county. The projected ridership numbers simply do not support the popular image of a significant shift from using Highway 101 for travel between Sonoma and Marin. The bulk of current ridership estimate will utilize SMART to travel between Petaluma and Windsor, a distance of 26 miles.

Novato City Government
Novato has a strong city manager form of government. Our town is facing a major decision on whether to fight to maintain the broad leafy streets and visible ridgelines of our neighborhoods or to succumb to the onslaught of high density multi-family development. Novato is in the middle of rewriting her general plan under pressure to conform to multiple housing mandates imposed by the state, and regional government housing allocations plus the pressures of regional transportation needs around the SMART commuter train, currently experiencing major shortfalls. Furthermore issues of air quality demand that Novato take measures to reduce vehicle miles traveled and pollution from construction, quarrying, wood fires, and lawn and agricultural products.

There are some pictures I just love and this is one of them. I always take several pictures and often scrapbook all of them. With these special pictures I like to make them big and give them their own page. I also keep embellishments and writing to a minimum and let the picture take center stage. The rest of the pictures from that time are used on a separate layout or 2 or 3 (often with several pictures on a page) and the story included.
For this layout I used the text from my family blog. Its so nice to have all of the details of the day already written down. Many of the things written I had already forgotten so this makes journaling easier but also more complete.
Here's an example of adding several photos and journaling on one page. Some times all of my pictures don't turn out exactly perfect but they still tell apart of the story.

Married Priests From the First Centuries Practiced Celibacy
The practice of celibacy in the priesthood is apparent in the years following Jesus' resurrection. Single priests and priests who were married abstained from sex, of course with approval from their wives. Just as Jesus chose celibacy giving up a family in order to give himself to mankind, priests are called by God to imitate Jesus. In fact, the priest is able to better serve all people because he is more available.
Monsignor Angelo Amato of the Prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of Saints states:
"Jesus was chaste, virgin, celibate and he defended it. His virginity distanced him from others, but it's what made him able to show, compassion and forgiveness to others."
Thus priests are called by God to imitate Jesus in this discipline.
By the end of the fourth century Pope Saint Siricius pushed for a celibate priesthood in order to maintain continuity with earlier centuries. Later this became a discipline* in order to carry out the tradition of celibacy, thus priests could not marry in the Catholic Church.

* The Eastern Orthodox still allow their priests to marry, but they must be so before entering the seminary and are not allowed to become bishops.
19 Responses to Married Priests From the First Centuries Practiced Celibacy
While there is good, valid arguments for a purely celibate priesthood, the case that the early church had such a priesthood is simply not there. In fact, there is evidence of married priests, even in the West, way into the Middle Ages. In fact, there were married Bishops in the East well beyond the fourth century and it was clearly the case until that point.
There is valid theological, historical grounds to support married priests (quite obviously). Moreover, I would carefully assess evidence of married priests commonly practicing celibacy within their marriage in the first century. The notion of priest is not as developed in that century as one would find in later time periods.
According to the Pontifical University it is true.
That or I guess doctors in Church history are incorrect.
It would be cool if you provided references to books or links, since I am a history buff and never turn down a good recommendation to a history book!
I have never formally read a book focused precisely on the question of a celibate priesthood. However in all of my study of Catholic theology and history, I have not ever encountered anything to the degree of which you have asserted nor any existing historical evidence that would substantiate it.
In the first century, the Eucharist was celebrated in house-churches typically over a common meal. There was not a very rigorous developed theology of the sacrament of the priesthood nor was there any universal mandate or encouragement of celibacy. St. Paul suggests it, encourages it, but he did not see it as something to be required. So while it might have surely existed, I don't think that is the same thing as saying it was "widely practiced" (depending on what you mean by that) nor was it required. Indeed, the local church was under the leadership of an "elder" or usually a council of them. The terms Bishop, Presbyter, and Deacon were not definitively defined in such a way that we can easily describe the essential ministry and function of each in the same way we can today.
Sts. Timothy and Titus celebrated by the Church as Bishops were hardly territorial monarchial bishops set over a fixed diocese. They functioned more like "emissiaries" or "ambassadors" whom were sent by St. Paul to Christian churches throughout the region for the purposes of teaching and maintenance.
There seems to be very little evidence, if any, from documents that can be dated prior to the second century that the marriage status or even continence was a great concern amongst Christians and those providing ministry in the first century. Indeed, in the beginning, these men were Jews and worked from a Jewish mentality where celibacy was not at all the mainstream norm, though there are clearly Jewish traditions of which celibacy is esteemed, e.g. the Essenes. The greatest indicator is that Christ Himself who began and instituted the priestly ministry, from a Catholic sacramental perspective, chose a number of married men for such a position and there is no New Testament era evidence that the Apostles were specifically celibate within their marriages; we can only speculate and that scarcely amounts to hard evidence. Indeed, the Apostles themselves selected a great number of married men to succeed them.
I do not think any reasonable historian would dispute that in the first centuries of Christianity married priests quite a norm, if not the norm itself. There is however evidence that continence within marriage was advocated and that is valid. However it is not clear that this was strictly enforced or how universal were such strictures. It is clear local synods were mandating celibacy for clergyman in certain regions in the West, but these were not practices affirmed as universally obligatory at ecumenical councils.
The Council of Elvira held in the Roman province of Hispania Baetica, for example, enjoined celibacy on bishops, priests, and deacons. This was obviously local. A number of scholars hold a tradition of clerical continence, obviously, whereby married priests were expected to abstain from sexual relations with their wives. This tendency was more characteristic of the West than in the East. There is a tradition that is in practice today that married priests are not to engage in sexual relations on days where they celebrate Mass (this is the common practice of married Eastern Catholic and Orthodox priests). Now clearly there became a tradition against already ordained clergyman marrying, but there are still cases of married Bishops up until about the time of Gregorian reforms (heck, the East had women deaconesses up until about the 9th century).
After a number of centuries, though celibacy was common and widespread in the West it was not necessarily mandatory. It was made the official discipline of the Latin Rite at the Second Lateran Council in 1139 A.D.
Either way, the issue remains non-dogmatic.
First there is no sacrament of the priesthood.
Second there was no mandate, it happened organically. Not everywhere, but in many places that we have historical evidence of this. Which eventually influenced those to make it a discipline. And I did not say it was required.
There is also no evidence that the apostles were not celibate as well. In case I'm mistaken, Saint Peter refrained from sex after the death of Jesus (I could be wrong here, but I'm pulling back all the way to my CCE days).
Never have I mentioned the word dogma as well, I always used the word discipline.
In essence you're arguing for argument sake and you misinterpreted the Rome Report as definitive for all early century priests which I can understand.
I obviously simply misunderstood you.
Point: The priesthood because of the priestly ministry, technically speaking, includes deacons and bishops. Either way, it is obvious I was talking about holy orders.
Mr. Edwards,
You write: "The Eastern Orthodox still allow their priests to marry, but they must be so before entering the seminary."
According to a Byzantine Catholic priest, Eastern Christian seminarians are most often single and they get married just prior to ordination. In fact, as I understand it, the wedding often takes place the day before the ordination.
My bad.
I figured you were talking about Holy Orders.
John R.P. Russell,
I'll take your word for it.
I'm mostly familiar with the Russian Orthodox Church and that was what I was basing my statement on.
Now when you say Byzantine Catholic, you mean Eastern Catholics right? Not Eastern Orthodox.
There are several recent books which treat the topic of celibacy in the early Church, exhaustively [and exhaustingly] – Fr. Cocini, Stefan Heid, Cardinal Stickler.
That St. Peter was married does not affect the matter. Many priests were married BEFORE being ordained. This is the case in the Orthodox Church. A priest may not marry after being ordained. To do so would invalidate his marriage vows.
The idiotic and illogical Fr. Kung blames the sex scandals on celibacy. How could this be? The scandals are males on males.
The standard practice, at least in the Antiochan Orthodox Church, ( and most likely for the Greek and Russian), is that a seminarian can graduate with his MDiv. degree, become ordained as a deacon, and then, as it were "shop around" for a wife, becoming married before ordination as a priest.
That is what I saw at one Antiochan parish.
I am not an expert in this area by any means, but married priests were quite common in Ireland well into the 12th century. St. Patrick's grandfather was a priest and his father was a deacon. (St. Patrick was originally from Wales, so that was apparently the practice there, as well.)
Since it did not become required in the Latin Rite until the 12th century, it should be pointed out that we have had married priests longer than priests have been required to be celibate. There are, of course, also a small number of Catholic priests today who are married, having been married and served as Anglican or Presbyterian ministers prior to converting to Catholicism and entering the priesthood.
Saint Patrick was Welsh?
I think he was a Romano-Briton, the ancestors of the Welsh.
"Byzantine Catholic, you mean Eastern Catholics right?"
He did. The East that is not in communion with Rome scarcely, if ever, uses the term "Catholic" to describe itself. Theologically and liturgically, perhaps (they recite the term in the Nicene Creed), but surely not formally as a label. But Byzantine Catholic refers to a particular rite, or theological, liturgical tradition in the Catholic Church.
Just for the nickel knowledge, there are 22 churches following the tradition of Eastern Christianity in communion with the Bishop of Rome.
If you look at the Byzantine rite, there are several churches in that tradition.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if "married priests" were to practice celibacy that would be one heck of an identity crisis since, in fact, to be celibate is to be unmarried.
They got married first. Then they became priests. Later they chose to be celibate.
Veritatis Jorge is correct: the definition of celibate precludes being married.
But the issue is merely a terminological one: priests in the apostolic and post-apostolic era who were married practiced not celibacy but *continency*, i.e. they abstained from sex with their wives… forever.
Cf. Conchini's _The Apostolic Origins of Priestly Celibacy_.
That is very interesting!
Learn something new every day.
VJ is correct after all.
I get to expand my vocabulary as well. 😉
As an Antiochian Orthodox priest, I believe that we are not in the habit of ordaining deacons and then letting them marry. We do however ordain married men to the diaconate and priesthood. I am a married priest. However, it is common practice to allow those in "minor orders" such as subdeacons to marry, although this would seem to be technically agains the canons which seem to require the same discipline from both minor and major orders.
peace and good,
Fr. Joseph

Morning, Lunatics …
>> I generally have Mondays off, and I've been feeling a little guilty about that. So I've come up with what I hope is an idea to mitigate that here on the blog, all without my really doing much of anything.
That, of course, is to put you to work.
I'll pose three questions up here every week, almost always on three different sports or issues, and ask you to put together your own — preferably brief — opinions on each or on just one, if you're more comfortable that way. Let's put it this way: If you're over 150 words, you've gone way too far.
Type your entry right down below here in the Comments section.
Here goes …
1. The Steelers are 3-6 and only two games behind the 5-4 Other Jets for the final wild-card spot. Should this be the focus in favor of more future-based concepts such as playing more Jarvis Jones and other youngsters?
2. What, if anything, should the Penguins do about Evgeni Malkin's slump?
3. Play devil's advocate with the National League MVP finalists and make a case for either Paul Goldschmidt or Yadier Molina to win it. Don't fake it. If your best case isn't good enough, that's fine, too.
All entries will be judged by our self-appointed panel in the commenting section — figure it out amongst yourselves — with results tallied up by a designated tallying person.
I'll run the best entry — in its entirety — in the next day's Morning Java.
And yeah, the check will be in the mail.
There isn't anything of my own to showcase here on the blog, and I'm not covering anything, either.
>> I love Mark Kaboly's weekly Steelers Film Session, if I haven't already said that a million times. The man watches the game in person, then talks to the athletes and coaches, then watches it no fewer than three more times to break it down.
A little offensive balance never hurts, by beat writer Alan Robinson.
Neither does a healthy attitude, by Ralph Paulk.
Here's our full Steelers coverage, including an update on Ramon Foster.
Here's Lions news from the Detroit Free Press.
Here are official game highlights from NFL.com.
And here are TribLIVE Radio's morning team of Ken Laird and Guy Junker talking some football yesterday …
One other Steelers item: Watch NFL Network tonight at 10:30 for a 15-minute, NFL Films-produced piece on Charlie Batch. I've seen a preview thanks to locally born producer Keith Cossrow, and it's worth it.
>> Beau Bennett plans to carry the puck more and, in turn, carry more of the slumping Penguins' scoring load. Beat writer Rob Rossi has it.
Here's our full Penguins coverage.
Here's Flyers news from the Philadelphia Daily News.
Here are official game highlights from NHL.com. In there, unfortunately, is the grisly broken leg sustained by Steven Stamkos. Hard to tell how long he'll be out, but it's hockey's loss, not just the Lightning's.
>> Paul Chryst looks ahead to North Carolina. Will his players still be looking back? Jerry DiPaola reports.
>> Moving photo essay of Sharon High School's first game after tragedy last night, by Andrew Russell. Here's the news coverage of same by Kevin Gorman.
>> Neal Huntington, the Pirates' GM, took second in Executive of the Year voting. Travis Sawchik reports.
Jay Bell is headed to the Reds, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. No great loss there. As I wrote in the Oct. 10 column just after the season, he helped no one.
The vote for National League Manager of the Year will be released tonight. I had a ballot for this award, and I'll share it with you right here:
- Clint Hurdle, Pirates
- Fredi Gonzalez, Braves
- Don Mattingly, Dodgers
If anyone takes issue with Pittsburgh guy picking Pittsburgh manager … you can't imagine how little I'll care.
>> I'll appear on MLB Network today at 2:30 p.m., live from PNC Park, to discuss that very topic.

Coursework in the Secondary World Languages program is designed to provide a coherent learning experience that culminates in a successful student teaching semester. In Colorado, teacher licensure is structured around a degree plus licensure framework. Undergraduate students that plan to pursue careers as secondary school teachers may complete the teacher certification program in conjunction with their bachelor's degree. The program requires 27-28 semester hours of education (EDUC) coursework in addition to a student's major requirements. Students who plan their coursework carefully can complete the requirements for their degree and the teaching license in four years.
Admissions Requirements
Admission to the Secondary World Languages teacher education program is competitive and satisfying the minimum criteria does not guarantee acceptance. Please also note that some requirements will take longer than others to complete. All applicants should plan accordingly. To be considered for admission, applicants must meet the following:
- Minimum 2.75 GPA overall
- Minimum 2.75 Content GPA
- At least 26 semester hours of college coursework completed or in progress
- 25 hours of youth interaction with children ages 12-18, within the past five years. Unacceptable experiences are any form of peer counseling performed in high school, any work as a babysitter or nanny, any experience supervised by a relative or friend, and any experience involving your own children, relatives, or a friend's children.
- Demonstration of Basic Skills (Math and Verbal). The state of Colorado mandates that all teacher education students demonstrate basic skill competence in mathematics and literacy. Students may complete an appropriate course in mathematics and composition with a grade of "B-" or better, or submit an approved standardized test score.
Application Process
Please refer to the Undergraduate Application Instructions for the application process and all application materials.
There are a number of reasons that an applicant may be denied admission, such as number of spaces available in a cohort and the overall strength of the applicant pool. Students whose applications are rejected are encouraged to improve their application and reapply for a future term.
Secondary World Languages applicants can begin the program in the fall semester only.
Applications to the teacher education program are considered on a rolling admissions basis.
Fall Term:
⦁ February 1st - Early Priority Deadline. (Applications completed by this date will receive a response by March 15th.)
⦁ April 15th – Deadline to complete application for admission consideration.
All application materials must be submitted by 5 p.m. on the deadline in order to be considered. After the Early Priority Deadline, applications are considered on a space-available basis.
Program Requirements
Two education courses, EDUC 3013 and EDUC 4112, are required for the program but may be taken prior to admission. Although not required, students interested in the teaching license are encouraged to take EDUC 3013 during the fall semester of their sophomore year and EDUC 4112 during the spring semester of their sophomore year. Both courses provide students with an introduction to the education program and are a good representation of what students can expect throughout the program. In addition to the School of Education requirements, Secondary World Languages candidates must satisfy Content Requirements to prepare them in the necessary content knowledge.
Bachelor's Degree Major
We recommend that students in the Secondary World Languages program declare a major in the language they wish to teach.
Content Requirements
Content Requirements do not need to be completed in order to apply to the program. However, all requirements must be satisfied prior to the student teaching semester. Candidates that carefully plan their schedule can satisfy degree requirements and education requirements simultaneously.
Student Teaching
In the final semester, candidates student teach for a minimum of 17 weeks. This involves a full-time (all day) commitment. To student teach, candidates must complete all course requirements and pass a state-approved content area licensure exam prior to the Student Teaching semester.

Episode 2 of the stellar Dishonored web series The Tales from Dunwall has been released today, titled "The Hand that Feeds." The new webisode features another sordid tale, but whereas yesterday's episode introduced the power source found in Dunwall whales and the rise of tyrancy, today's introduces The Outsider and the plague. Prepare yourselves, there are no happy endings in Dishonored.
"The Hand that Feeds" is the second episode in a three part web series for Dishonored. Seeing as the first episode was released yesterday, hopefully we can expect the third and thrilling conclusion tomorrow. While the animated series art style is certainly a break from what has been shown of the game's actual gameplay, thematically one can see how The Tales from Dunwall sets the mood perfectly going into Dishonored's full release.
Dishonored releases October 9 in North America and October 12 in the UK, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. There are several retail outlet preorder bonuses that can improve various playstyles, so shop around and pick one that fits you. Keep your eye on Dishonored, folks, because it could turn out to be this year's BioShock.

The NFL has a number of dominant players at every position, and there are a number of young players that are ready to take their talents to that elite level.
A "young" NFL player (IMO) is considered to have three or fewer years of NFL experience, because a player can only become an unrestricted free-agent after four seasons of service.
The following players have shown a tremendous amount of potential during their short time in the National Football League, and I believe that they are all ready to become the best in business.

Welcome to the Maths Resources of Adrian Bruce
Is 1 a Prime Number?
Category: Prime Numbers
Is One a Prime Number? No!!!
Summary: Many people hold the misconception that one is a prime number. This mathematics poster explains it all.
One is Not Prime!
I usually try to introduce the concept of 1 not being prime by examining the mathematical definition closely.
'For a number to be prime it must have TWO distinct (different) factors'.
In 1's case its factors are 1 and 1.
For a number to be prime it must be able to be divided by itself AND 1.
In the case of 1 'itself ' IS one.
This poster can then be added to your Math Vocabulary Display as a form Maths Help reference material :)

Nik Bartsch: Rhythmically Dancing Around Fugato Fires
On Llyrìa (ECM, 2010), there is less of the obvious groove that characterized the band's previous ECM recordings. The band sounds looser, though the music remains notated for the most part. In the past, if the band used rhythm to accomplish melodic functions, here the emphasis is more on melodic development; a greater lyricism pervades the compositions. The increased space in the structures allows more room for reed man Sha to assert his presence, though there is less of a role for the contrabass and more opportunity for the alto saxophone to color Bärtsch's "Moduls." This greater emphasis on space and the resultant new sounds that occupy these spaces has much to do with Bärtsch's interest in architecture and dramaturgy the construction of spaces.
That the music has evolved, rather than taken a radical turn, is due to the constant refusal of Bärtsch and his colleagues to let the music gather dust. Ronin's regular Monday night concert at its club in Zurich is much more than just a gig. Here, since 2004, the band has worked on the music, experimenting and continually seeking the musical growth that comes from deepening empathy and common goals. The five musicians of Ronin are, as Bärtsch states, servants of this music.
All About Jazz: Did Llyrìa turn out the way you envisaged it when the music first started coming into your head?
Nik Bärtsch: In a way it turned out like we intended because as a group we made a new step in performing together. For me, as a composer, I never know how it will turn out in the end, but the dramaturgy of the pieces when I develop them at home can change with the band, and it's always a surprise how the band can handle the compositions.
In the studio, it takes a lot of time working on it together with the producer Manfred Eicher. It's something we have prepared very carefully, but everything changes and surprises us. It happens because everyone has the will and the tradition to focus and concentrate but also to outfox ourselves. We went into the studio a day early to have a whole day of preparation, to check all the mics, all the details, and that helped very much to create a warmer band sound in general. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
AAJ: You mention the band surprising you, and each other. How much can Manfred Eicher surprise you all in the studio?
NB: Manfred is always surprising. His enormous experience, in my opinion, does not influence him to do what he knows and what he likes. He uses his experience to always create new and surprising combinations. He once told me that it is important that the band comes really prepared with a present concept, and well rehearsed. From then on, you can really create the nowthe specific take that really convinces everybody. It maybe also has some mistakes or surprises in it, and for this he is an enormously careful and intense listener. He gives very precise feedback, not only in terms of the details of the composition but also in terms of the mood of the piece and the mood of the band in the studio. I think that's exactly what a producer, in the musical sense, is all about.
He puts all his energy into the production process. For me, it is astonishing how someone with such huge experience can concentrate so much on the now and also enjoy the now, and be challenged when the now does not happen. He does not think he knows everything. That's something which inspires me very much.
