This 1-day ASTM International workshop will provide an in-depth look at the current and future states of technology standards for health data exchange, focusing on the use of the CCR standard for portability and interoperable exchange between EHRs and PHRs, health plans and physicians' practices, and employer-sponsored personal health networks services. The Workshop will include presentation and discussion of the likely uses of the CCR standard by employer-led PHR initiatives and IT firms eager to enter health care with new consumer products and services.
The Workshop will cover the CCR standard's content and schema (xsd) in detail, and will provide comprehensive examples of tools and methods for mapping clinical content from any organization's health data application to the CCR standard's xml format.
This is a must-attend workshop for professionals needing a comprehensive and hands-on understanding of the CCR standard and its XML schema for their organizations. It is aimed at technologists wanting to grasp the relationship between the CCR standard and other emerging standards and best practices, among them the CDA CCD from Health Level Seven and the exciting new PDF-Healthcare best practices.
The CCR Workshop is therefore suitable for:
* Leaders and managers in the healthcare vertical who need to know more about the CCR standard and who are at medium to advanced levels of technical know-how
* Governmental advocacy and standards personnel needing to become familiar with standards based on structured XML
* Medical or nursing IT directors who will be assisting their organizations to purchase EHRs or other health information systems and who need an overview of the standards and technology as part of their due diligence
* Product managers or developers needing hands-on training on integration of the CCR standard into their company's products or services
A minimal understanding of XML is strongly recommended

Running Through Southeast Arizona's Wonderland of Rocks

Photo by Matt Hage
Gearing up in a brisk wind at the Echo Canyon Trailhead (6780 feet) in the Chiricahua Mountains, we armored up beneath hats, gloves and wind-proof layers, then descended into a tight canyon, out of the gale. It was January in Arizona's high desert. Rays of sunlight streamed up the trail and we soaked up their warmth. The canyon became saturated with the scent of pines. Spires reared their bulbous heads high above the forest, catching the morning light.
Racing down the trail to generate metabolic warmth, my partner, Agnes, and I took turns with smart-ass comments about running in cold-weather gear on our winter escape from Alaska to the Southwest. The early light selectively touched spires and I stopped to pull out the camera. Agnes paused for a couple shots before continuing down the trail. "No more stopping until we're in the sun," she scolded.
As we neared Ed Riggs Trail's end, the ponderosas gave way to spindly rocks. Rounding a bend, we veered onto the Hailstone Trail, which tread a rock shelf high above the canyon. The drop to our left measured a few hundred feet while an army of volcanic-tuff towers hemmed us on the right. The south-facing wall caught the brunt of the rising sun, allowing us to strip to shorts and T-shirts.

I thought this was a good product for the money, and it seems to be working well to motivate my son to do his times tables. I really like the wipe-away feature that lets you re-use it.I am happy, but I'm going to note that it is not especially durable. A respectable value.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Endless Possibilites
By Mom and More
from Chicago, IL
First off, the Ring the Bell Electronic Goal Tracker is a lot taller than I expected. It's about two feet tall and so bright and fun. My boys were so curious and excited to try it out. Right out of the box all you do is push the tracker into its stand and put in 3 AAA batteries. I actually didn't have AAA batteries so we have been pretending how the sound is! You then write in your milestones, there are 100 marks, so you can work in increments or use percentages (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.) You then use a dry erase marker and write in your goals. The instruction book even includes a Congratulations certificate and Goal Tracker worksheet. This tracker would be great for a classroom but at home I can definitely see a few uses! The first thing I am going to use it on is potty training. I am going to put this tracker in the bathroom and mark it in increments of five, when my son reaches the top, he will get his prize. I am hoping this works, but we shall see as I can see him moving the tracker up on his own to cheat! I am going to mark with a dry erase marker though and hide that marker! Overall, the possibilities are endless for this tracker. It can be used for so many things both at home and in a classroom. The only thing I would change is to maybe include a dry erase marker with it but otherwise its simple, fun and ready to go!
Merchant response: Hi Mom! Potty training - what a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

A pattern is forming in the last few weeks. �nice warm and dry days throughout the week and cold and rainy weekends. �I just got in a road ride this evening, it was around 80 degrees, sunny, breezy, and great night to ride. �I found a pair of plyers on the road, ROAD SWAG.
Funny story. �Saturday morning I got me in a little 20 mile ride in the rain then Shauna and I went to the nearby city of Evansville IN. Now the deal is that ever since I took up rollerblading I've wanted to try ice skating, and there happens to be a ice rink in Evansville. �Shauna wanted to do some shopping over there and enticed�me into going by bringing up the ice skating. �I was like cool!
As we drove I began to think about my situation. �Shauna categorically refused to ice skate herself. �I think ice skating for a guy is acceptable if you're on a date, practicing for hockey, or an olympic level figure skater. � Since I didn't fit into any of those categories I was beginging to have doubts. �Shauna didn't help matters when she brought up the�Saturday�afternoon skate session would be mostly small children.
Eventually she asked me if I'd brought my sequined outfit and I was really starting to regret the whole thing. �I didn't want to be the weird old dude skating with a bunch of kids. We pulled into the parking lot and I looked through the large plate glass front window. �I saw a many little girls in fancy skating outfits and peeled out of the parking lot.
I suppose it was an over reaction, when I checked the schedule it became obvious that the kids were leaving the begginers freestyle dance session that had just ended, but who knows, I could be typing this from the hospital with a broken�coccyx.
By the way, I now know that the Quadracepts refers to the 4 muscles that extend the lower leg, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius, and Rectus Femoris. �Spelling doesn't count on my test so those may not be spelled right. �In fact I've learned so much about the human body in the last 3 months that my brain had to dislodge�everything�I know about �Early American Art History, I can no longer recall the name of the guy who painted all those Indians, oh wait that was George Caitlin. �Well I can't remember the guy who painted Paul Revere.
All this learning has really cut into my blog time, sorry about the lack of content lately, I know everyone's dying to read more of my exciting adventures.
Speaking of adventures, my riding pal Adam took his new mountain bike to Glendale with me and a we met some guys to go riding Sunday. �It was wet, like one of those days where every rock, stick, and bit of exposed dirt is damp, slick and mucky. �Things were going well, but I had a flat, then Adam's bike broke, then I had another flat, we decided to just push our bikes out of the woods.

Myths—they intrigue, entertain, and sometimes even humor us. From health and history to sports and science, myths and misconceptions seem to find their way into every realm of human thought and activity—including parenting.
As Christians, we probably dismiss most of the parenting myths we encounter without a second thought, right? After all, we're Christians, those who look to and depend upon God's Word to determine our reality, not worldly platitudes or cultural traditions. If you're among those who think only naïve and untaught Christians fall for unbiblical substitutes when it comes to parenting, maybe you'd better take a look at our list.
Here are ten of the most common myths confronting Christian parents these days. Mom and dad, as you endeavor to raise your children to the glory of God, take note of them:
Myth # 1: "Children must be the first priority in our family."
Heard that one? According to this myth, the child-centered family is the successful family, so the more attention you give your children, the better they'll turn out. Basically, you've got to prioritize your children over your spouse. No matter how pious they make it sound, it's not pious at all. The Bible says your spouse is your priority, second only to God. Husbands, you understand this . . . God commands you to love you wife as your own body (Ephesians 5:28). Why? Because you're in a "one flesh" relationship with that woman (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31). There is no such relationship between parent and child; it's a different level of intimacy. To elevate the relationship with your children above the more intimate relationship you have with your spouse isn't positive in any sense. It's a subtle but dangerous myth that always weakens and sometimes wrecks a home. Beware.
Myth # 2: "I should rely mainly upon the church—particularly the children's ministry, to teach the Bible to my children."
Most of us would probably deny believing this myth, but how we live tells all. Evaluate your habits at home, parents. Where does the majority of your children's spiritual instruction take place—church or home? Who provides that instruction—an Awana leader or you? We're not belittling the role of your local church's teaching ministries. We are pointing out that Sunday school and youth group should supplement your teaching at home, not replace it. Both the Old and New Testaments assign parents, not pastors, the responsibility of teaching their children (See Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21).
Myth # 3: "The behavior of my children is a sure measure of successful parenting."
That statement would cease to be a myth with a slight adjustment: Your response to the behavior of your children is a sure measure of successful parenting. See the difference? Your child's behavior is mostly out of your control; your response is not. None of us, especially after the early years, can control our child's behavior. But you can and must control your response to their behavior. God's simple instruction to parents is found in Ephesians 6:4, "Bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Your success as a parent relates to how faithfully you carry out that charge, not how well your children receive discipline and instruction.
Myth # 4: "Quality time with my children is more important than quantity time."
Some parents use this myth to ease their guilt for spending too little time with their kids. That's not the biblical model. When God instructed parents to impart His Law to their children, notice how much time is involved: "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up" (Deut. 6:6, 7). We're mistaken to think we can somehow schedule those teachable moments into a few scattered, "quality" interactions between dinner and dessert. Faithfulness to the parenting task requires more time than that. As you make yourself available, you'll begin to see how many unplanned opportunities arise out of those times of sitting, walking, lying down, and rising up.
Myth # 5: "My children belong to me."
Behind this myth is the false notion that, "My children are my property, and it's my right to raise them as seems best to me." Psalm 127:3 says, "Behold, children are a gift from the Lord." Even life itself is a gift, isn't it? But it still belongs to God. Parenting is a stewardship, and we are stewards of all God's gifts, including our children. We provide care, impart instruction, and teach them to fear God, and one day we'll give an account to Him for how we carry out our charge. Children belong to God.
Myth # 6: "My wife should take responsibility for training our children since I work."
Husbands, don't turn God's calling for your wife (Titus 2:4-5, to love you and your children, and keep the home) into a fatal parenting myth. God's instruction to your wife doesn't excuse you from parental responsibility. Scripture presents parenting as a joint-effort, and it also issues several commands directly to you fathers—it's your responsibility to train your children (Ephesians 6:4, Colossians 3:21). It's true, your wife will spend more time at home with the kids while you work, but that doesn't eliminate or diminish your responsibility to join her—in fact to lead her—in the parenting task.
Myth # 7: "My children won't be able to understand spiritual truths until they are much older."
Biblical history, human history, and common experience demonstrate how young children can comprehend spiritual truth. Remember the prophet Samuel, or the young king Josiah? Samuel's close relationship to the Lord began at a very young age (1 Samuel 2:26), and king Josiah instigated spiritual revival in Judah when he was only a teenager (2 Kings 22:1; 2 Chronicles 34:33). In 1735, during the American Great Awakening, God saved Phebe Bartlet, a young girl in Jonathan Edward's congregation, when she was only 4 years old. Parents and pastor alike thoroughly examined her comprehension of gospel truth and found clear evidence that she was born again. Time proved the genuineness of her profession. One of her favorite activities was attending church to hear the preaching of her pastor, Jonathan Edwards (not a theological lightweight). Don't fool yourself parent—and certainly don't try and fool your children. They are sharper than you think.
Myth # 8: "If I spank my children, it will exasperate and provoke them."
Sadly, this myth is alive and well in many Christian homes. It intimidates parents and spoils children. Contrary to our anti-spanking culture, Proverbs 13:24 says, "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." Truth is, if you want to provoke and spoil your children, just continue to shelter them from the painful consequences of disobedience (Proverbs 29:15). No kid loves a spanking, and we don't like discipline either, do we? But the writer of Hebrews tells us that discipline yields peaceful, productive fruit (Hebrews 12:5-11). (Here are a few other Scriptures to counter this insidious myth—Prov. 19:18; 22:15; 23:13; 29:17).
Myth # 9: "Spanking my children is the key to successful biblical parenting."
For some of you, spanking your child seems quicker, easier, and more effective than the relentless dawn-to-dusk instruction called for in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (see Myth #4). Ephesians 6 also calls for "discipline," but Paul clearly has more in mind than spanking. The positive command, "Bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4), refers to the systematic training and instruction of children. Literally, the word "instruction" could be translated "putting in mind." As a parent, you want to impart the knowledge of God regularly and lovingly to your child under the guidance of Scripture. That is the key to successful parenting. Spanking is just one part of that larger task.
Myth # 10: "If I teach my kids properly, God promises they'll eventually turn out well."
No doubt you've heard this myth. It's a popular interpretation, and application, of Proverb 22:6—"Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it." How many times have you seen a parent cling to that verse in desperation as they watch defiant children forsake all they were taught? Some children sit under loving, prayerful instruction from their parents, only to later shame them with a scandalous lifestyle. It's heartbreaking, isn't it. But Solomon's proverb is not meant to be a gilt-edged guarantee your child will eventually trust Christ and live righteously. Solomon is simply saying early training usually secures lifelong habits. It's a charge to give great care and consistency to how and what you teach your children. God promises to bless us for parental faithfulness, but that doesn't necessarily mean our children will be saved. They have their own relationship with God to work out.
Parents, we'd like to hear from you. Have you detected some of those myths? Have you managed to dodge them, or have you tripped over a few? What other myths would you like to add? Let us know in the discussion thread below. Tommy Clayton Content Developer

What about the myth of using reverse philosophy? Like mimic the kid's behavior to approve or disapprove the kid's action or clothing. It might
make the kid go mad? Just a thought.
#7 is very common around me. I sadly see some parents don't teach God's
Word to their young kids. Only tell them of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny,
and let them watch TV cartoons which don't make any sense. We need to be careful and teach God's Word as a fact, a real story and encourage them to enjoy God's Word.
God bless.

I would like to comment on myth #2. I admit I was guilty then God opened a door and pushed me through it. My son,along with the other kids, did not like to go on Wednesday nights. As I investigated it I found that they were bored. If there was a lesson it was so downgraded to the point of almost wrong. I think for several reasons: 1. adults know so little bible they don't know what or how to teach 2. for some reason they think the kids are too young 3rd-6th grade to hear the truths of the bible. I think this is very wrong. The first grade reader for the pilgrims taught the children to spell and know the meaning of "fornication"! If you wait to teach these kids what is sin and what is not after the world has already taught them their version, then we are behind the 8 ball. My challenge is to get involved--TEACH!!! I have been taking adult topical bible studies and retyping them so the kids can understand. I just cannot find a good study for kids this age. I take teachings off this website and make Q&A for the kids. I took the Genesis 1,2 Precept course I took and adapted it for the kids. I purchased some videos from Answers in Genesis and showed them the difference between evolution and creation. We had a little mini apologetic class. They loved it! Guess what, so have I and trust me I usually don't care for other peoples children. God has just shown me that if we wait until the kids grow up to teach them...well that is why 80% of kids raised in church fall out by college. The bottom line is there are and always will be kids who don't hear any bible teaching except at church so with that in mind, teach them like their eternity depended on it because it just might. Otherwise, please don't be a teacher. The bible says we will be held to a higher standard. Thank You

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said: (1) Adults know so little Bible they don't know what or how to teach, and (2) Parents think third grade is too young to comprehend biblical truth. (See myth # 7). The world understands what many parents don't: Young minds are sponges, and quickly soak up whatever "truth" is set before them. The world's philosophy (1 John 5:19 tells us who energizes that philosophy) says, "the younger… the better." When parents think they can adequately impart the Word of God to their children with a meager 2 hours at church twice per week—and as you mentioned, sometimes the teaching is bad—their kids are easy pickins for the world, their flesh and the devil.
May God have mercy on our children, our churches, and our homes. It's exciting to hear your story about how the resources at GTY have helped inform and enrich your ministry to young children. Thanks for sharing, Beth. May God continue to bless your efforts.
WONDERFUL article! I can only add that kids learn more from watching than hearing - our obedience to God and a repentant life MUST backup whatever we teach our kids.
I wanted to comment on the adults knowing so little of the Bible. I have seen the error of my ways! being a weak christian for so long, I didn't know how to teach my children. Thankfully God has blessed my family and shown me that He is my only solution to life! I take raising my children in the Lord very seriously, especialy as I see christians becoming more and more lukewarm and liberal all around me. Our christian friends from our previous church think we're nuts because of our great devotion to our Lord! They are so worldly, they hardly read their Bibles and don't behave much different then anyone else. How do christians raise children right in that kind of christian envoronment? I started praying for discernment a couple of years ago, (as I learn from John Macarthur), and my eyes were opened to so many things. My christian walk is steadily becoming stronger and my children are benefitting. All the glory and honor goes to Jesus!
I just wanted to write and say thank you everyone for the wonderful comments I have recieved. Sometimes you think your all alone out here. One writer said God convicted him of his lukewarmness and now all his friends think he is a loon. Well I live in the bible belt and believe it or not there are way more professors than posssessors. I was pretty much an atheist until I got saved at age 40 [10 years ago]and I have never looked back! But the disappointment for me has been that I thought everyone would want to learn all they could and God would be everything all the time, but most only want the absolute bare minimum! I am pretty much looked at as the weirdo and just tolerated because I dont't join womens bunco groups or sign up for frivolous studies that have very little teaching, but instead go to a laymans bible college. Ive been told I'm too heavenly minded, too black and white, too serious--but how can I do anything else, I know how close to hell I came! I had children later in life and my daughter was 6 when I was saved and she only was saved this summer [16 years]and neither my husband or myself came from Christian homes--we have been disowned. I want to help raise children that know God, love God and are not ashamed of God and most importantly what real salvation is!! I don't want them to waste as much life as I did. Plus one thing I LOVE is kids are pretty black and white, they haven't created all that gray yet. This keeps you on your toes and you better be prepared to explain A LOT! I found GTY about 1 year ago and have made a real dent in listening to all the teachings, my husband and I listen every night. GTY has enriched our understanding and our walk more than I can say. Thank You and God bless.
Thanks Andrea:
Stories like yours (and others) on this blog are simply a reminder of both the power and mercy of Christ. His mercy to show us areas of weakness in our parenting—His power to overcome them through His Word and Spirit. We're grateful to God you've found the resources at GTY to be such a helpful tool in your call to parent. May the LORD bless your efforts and multiply the fruit in your children.

Skip to comments.Kerry reaffirms rights to Receive Holy Communion Paterson, NJ Bishop Rodimer Agrees
Posted on 04/24/2004 10:58:04 PM PDT by Coleus
Kerry reaffirms rights
|Saturday, April 24, 2004
WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry delivered an unabashed defense of abortion rights on Friday, just hours after a top Vatican cardinal said that priests must deny Communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights.
Several other Catholic politicians said they, too, had no intention of altering the way they practice their religion or their politics.
With hundreds of Catholic politicians in the United States supporting abortion rights, the trans-Atlantic counterpoint was only the latest sign that the issue promises to be a recurrent one on the U.S. campaign trail this year.
"I believe that in the year 2004, we deserve a president who understands that a stronger America is where women's rights are just that: Rights, not political weapons to be used by politicians of this nation," Kerry declared at a rally with leaders of pro-choice groups mobilizing in Washington for a big march set for Sunday. "We are going to have a change in leadership in this country to protect the right of choice."
Speaking earlier from Vatican City, Cardinal Francis Arinze stopped short of saying whether it was right for Kerry to receive Communion but said a Catholic politician who supports abortion rights "is not fit" to receive the Eucharist. U.S. bishops have discretion in deciding who should receive Communion, but the cardinal's comments could put more pressure on them to sanction Catholic politicians whose positions are at odds with church teachings.
Kerry said he personally opposes abortion but supports a woman's right to choose. He did not directly respond to Arinze's comments, but campaign spokesman David Wade said Kerry believes the separation of church and state "helped make religious affiliation a non-issue in American politics."
Paterson Bishop Frank Rodimer said that he would give Kerry communion. While Rodimer remains adamant that abortion must be publicly condemned, he does not see a benefit in denying communion to a Catholic politician. "I would not make that the occasion for teaching; it is not a teaching moment," Rodimer said.
Rodimer said the proper time to have a conversation with a Catholic candidate about abortion or other spiritual matters is before Mass, not during the distribution of communion.
Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt countered that Kerry's views on abortion were "outside the mainstream" and said the president "supports a culture of life."
Judie Brown, president of the anti-abortion American Life League, said it was perfectly appropriate for voters to consider a candidate's religion and the way he or she practices it in deciding how to vote. She said the group is keeping tabs on 500 Catholic politicians at the state and national level who support abortion rights.
"If you are elected to public office as a Catholic, then your fellow Catholics expect you to be Catholic," she said, calling it "hypocrisy" for Kerry to say he is personally opposed to abortion while supporting wider access to the procedure.
But Frances Kissling, president of Catholics for a Free Choice, USA, said statements such as Arinze's "debase the political campaign" and would only isolate the church from its U.S. members, most of whom she said support abortion rights.
"Every time Catholic church leaders have attacked Catholic politicians for their view on abortion, the Catholic politicians have become more popular and the church has become more marginalized," she said. "It's a very foolish strategy relative to political influence."
She added: "Do they really want to tell Senators (Edward) Kennedy, (Barbara) Mikulski, (Patrick) Leahy and 70 other members of the U.S. Congress that they can't receive Communion? Because they can't just tell this to Senator Kerry."
Sen. Edward Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat whose brother was the nation's first Catholic president, stressed that Arinze was speaking for himself, not the pope, and said he did not expect to be denied Communion despite supporting abortion rights.
"I'm a very strong believer in the separation of church and state, as President Kennedy spoke to, and I continue to follow my own beliefs and will continue to serve the people of Massachusetts," he said.
Among American Catholics, 56 percent of non-Hispanic Catholics and 59 percent of Hispanic Catholics oppose making it harder for a woman to get an abortion, according to the Pew Research Center. Support for additional restrictions increases among Catholics who attend church at least once a week, with 50 percent of non-Hispanic Catholics favoring further restrictions and 43 percent of Hispanic Catholics.
Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Texas, was criticized by Republicans recently for keeping track of the votes of Catholic members of Congress and whether they are in keeping with church doctrine. He said the vote tallies grew out of meetings by a group of lawmakers exploring their own beliefs, "knowing many of us want to bring as much of our faith as we can to our action in Congress."
"We are trying to live the teachings of our church and we try to bring that to work," he said. At the same time, he added, Catholic congressional members struggle with adhering to their faith while representing people of many religions.
"I am not here to represent the Catholic church," he said.
Last week, Kerry met privately with Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the Washington archbishop heading a task force examining whether there should be church sanctions for Catholic politicians who vote and support positions at odds with church teachings.
Bishop Raymond Burke, the archbishop of St. Louis, has said he would refuse to give Kerry Communion.

With hundreds of Catholic politicians in the United States supporting abortion rights, the trans-Atlantic counterpoint was only the latest sign that the issue promises to be a recurrent one on the U.S. campaign trail this year.
I think these guys may be wandering into quicksand. We live in dangerous times, and I sense the voters are in no mood for self-serving BS from those who would lead us.
What in the hell is he talking about? Really. Does this sound ANYTHING like Catholic teaching? Well given this and similar stupid comments from other bishops I am lead to believe that we can expect nothing good to come of the task force that will be advising the bishops how to deal with pro-choice politicians.
The Catholic Church in American is OVER. The bishops are caving on abortion, indirectly they are caving.
Being told he can't accept communion has nothing to do with church and state. It's purely a church issue. The church chooses not to give the Eucharist to someone who publicly refuses to follow church teachings.
During the 1960's the church refused to provide Eucharist to segregationists in Louisiana. Someone should ask Kerry if that was an improper action by church officials.
Beat me to it. But it's an excellent point to raise with the liberal so-called Catholics these days.
The Catholic Church in American is OVER. The bishops are caving on abortion, indirectly they are caving.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. -- Matthew 24:11-14
You are soooo right! The only thing that brings me some peace it that one day they will face God for final judgement. What do you suppose God will say to these people who have killed so many of his precious little angels?
You must be as old as I am. I remember when setting a good example was a major virtue. Then letting it all hang out was a major virtue. Then multicultural ethical tolerance and PC-ness...
Wake me when the pendulum swings back! :(
I think mostly they don't accept apostolic succession.
Kissling Spins Canon Law
(from Catalyst, May 2003)
Catholics For a Free Choice (CFFC) recently released a new pamphlet, titled, Catholics and Abortion: Notes on Canon Law. Its aim is to counter finger-pointing and misinformation. No one who is familiar with Frances Kisslings group should be surprised that the only techniques used in the pamphlet are just thatfinger-pointing and misinformation.
The introduction whines, Everyone is an expert, claiming that prochoice Catholics are heretics or have been excommunicated because they have had an abortion or have supported legal abortion. And heres some misinformation: CFFC claims, We respect the churchs law.
The pamphlet focuses on two relevant passages in the 1983 Code of Canon Lawthe one prescribing automatic excommunication for those who have a completed abortion (canon 1398), and the passage that stipulates automatic excommunication for accomplices without whose help the grave sin could not have been committed (canon 1329 §2).
In the next ten or so pages, the pamphlets author, Sara Morello, wrangles word-by-word with the passages from Canon Law, attempting to show that mitigating factors can lessen the likelihood that someone who has had an abortion actually incurs excommunication. But any Catholic already knows that there are conditions to be met (grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent) before any sin incurs its full penalty. (Incidentally, the word sin appears nowhere in the leaflet.)
In a huge leap of logic, the brochure tells us, In cases where it is difficult to argue that the primary actor incurs a penalty, it would also be very difficult to justify punishing accomplices. In other words, since we cannot say for sure whether the woman undergoing an abortion meets the requirements under Canon Law for responsibility for her actions, then we cannot even begin to judge the actions of accomplices, such as Kissling. Thus the routine activity of hospital administrators, directors of abortion clinics and prochoice politicians does not make them eligible for punishment under this canon.
One doesnt have to have a degree in Canon Law to see this is nonsense. Canon 1329 states that anyone who aided in the commission of an offense such that it would not have been committed without their help suffers the penalty attached to that offense. For example: an accomplice to a murder is subject to the same penalty that the actual murderer is, regardless of any mitigating factors operating on the murderer. If the murderer is in a blind rage and acts in the heat of the moment, he may be less culpable; but a man who calmly gives him a knife and leads him to his victim enjoys no such advantages. Each individual is subject to penalties based on his own mental state and actions.
Frances Kissling and other facilitators of abortion are probably not under the emotional pressure of those with unplanned pregnancies. And CFFC is fully aware of the Churchs actual teaching; they produced this tract on Canon Law, didnt they? And it even grudgingly acknowledges, getting an abortion is against the churchs law.
In other words, Frances Kissling and her ilk have no excuse. And whether or not you believe that she has acted directly as an accomplice through her work with CFFC and the pro-abortion lobby, there remains the fact that she operated one of the first legal abortion clinics in New York, and ran illegal ones in Mexico and Rome; all of which she still defends. If thats not direct complicity, then the law is meaningless.
Its not our place to declare people excommunicated, but we will point out their disingenuous reasoning. Kisslings motive in producing the tract is transparent: she hopes to silence her opposition, who place her and her organization outside the Church. But Canon Law is clear on one matter, and the American bishops agree: Catholics For a Free Choice is anything but Catholic. And no glossy pamphlet that butchers Canon Law will convince us otherwise.
Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list
No. The proper thing is to excommunicate the reprobates, ya dope!
Who give a flip? The Church is not, nor has ever been a democracy.
Fer crying out loud, AmBishops!
Testicles are useful for other than procreation.
Then what does he do when the Paulist Center gives Kerry communion anyway? Which they will. With full press coverage.
I think O'Malley's in a tough spot (several, actually, and none of his own making). Maybe he can get the Paulists out of his diocese, but I don't know quite how he could work it, and he probably has lots to do trying to get the diocesan priests, who are under his direct authority to cooperate here. I don't see any grounds for the civil authorities to get involved in any attempt of O'Malley's to physically remove the Paulists.
. . .how about this Bishop just accepting that it is a 'moral moment' that defines and honors the Churches teachings; otherwise; what is the point of anyone not availing themselves?
Liberals, like everywhere else in our culture, continue to debase the 'good' by their escape in a moral relativism.
John Kerry IS a Catholic - just depends on the meaning of 'is'. . .and maybe by now; the meaning of 'Catholic'. . .
That is about as vacuous as saying "Hey, I personally oppose slavery but I support your right to own one."
Excellent point. Rodimer is a fool. He will occupy a lower circle of hell than Kerry, but they will be in hailing distance of each other.
Barring, of course, Rodimer and KErry getting knocked off their horses on the way to Damascus.
ProLife Ping!
If anyone wants on or off my ProLife Ping List, please notify me here or by freepmail.
This is his email address according to that diocese's newspaper.
Here is a copy of what I just sent to that address:
You said that in your diocese you would not refuse Kerry communion. Then for all your talk in your editorial about the "Risen Christ" you show by your actions you really don't believe much. Anyone who would feed Holy Communion to a pig and apostate like Kerry shows by his actions he doesn't respect the "Risen Christ."
You said refusing someone communion in church was not an opportunity to "Teach." Well, you've "taught" _PRACTISING_ Catholics in the pews that pro-abortion politicians can blackmail the church into bowing down to apostates. You've given us cause to wonder if you are hiding further scandals that they can blackmail you with. Are you a practising homosexual or something that you are in fear of Kerry and his ilk? You act like it.
What's it going to take for you spineless bishops, the alleged shepherds of the flock for you to get the message that we want bishops with true convictions and not lip service to the REAL faithful? Do we all need to start writing checks to our parishes for the amount of FIVE CENTS with a note in the memo line that the donation will NOT increase until we get bishops who start acting like bishops?
DO we need to forward copies of our checks to the Papal Nuncio in Washington, and to the Vatican itself until you stop acting like butt-buddies of the pro-abortion politicians? Will THAT get your attention? Do you need your own faculties suspended? What's it going to take?

Success is never guaranteed for artists, but at least those who manage to hustle up a show in a museum or non-profit space should get paid something. This is the argument of the New York-based artist rights group W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy), whose slogan is "fighting to get paid for making the world more interesting." In 2008, the group set out to gather data about the economic experiences of 600 visual and performing artists who had worked with New York City art non-profits in the past five years. Included in the survey were questions about artist fees, coverage of exhibition costs, and travel expenses for shows, screenings, lectures, and performances at over 67 institutions. The results give a snapshot of just how economically uncertain the terrain of artistic success is in New York.
W.A.G.E. unveiled the results of the data they collected at an event at Artists Space earlier this month. To get a deeper insight into the survey process and the final results, ARTINFO posed some questions to the group via email. Read on for the surprising numbers, and for the group's recommendations on how to fix the prevailing dearth of artist fees.
What kind of trends concerning artist compensation did you uncover after analyzing the 2010 survey?
The results point toward a disparity in the way monies are distributed by institutions. Essentially, there are no consistent patterns regarding if and how public and private funds are being distributed to independently contracted performers, lecturers, or visual artists.
The most conclusive information is that 58 percent of artists invited to work with small, medium, and large non-profit arts institutions and museums received no form of payment, expense reimbursement, or artist fee at all. While some might argue that the survey is skewed toward those who had a negative experience with an institution and were therefore more motivated to complain about it, the fact is that they had good reason to complain: 337 out of 577 artists did not receive any compensation, which is 337 too many.
In terms of fee payment, it's very clear that artists are more likely to receive a fee for a solo exhibition than for a group exhibition. On the other hand, when they did receive a fee for a solo exhibition, almost the same number of artists who got a fee in the range of $2,000 to $4,999 did not receive a fee at all.
In terms of the size of the fee, the range was not surprising, and is in line with what we found [nonprofit organization] Artists Space had been paying in that same time frame when we dug into their payment history. For exhibitions involving two to five artists, 47 percent received an honorarium between $100 and $500, while 22 percent did not receive any artist fee. For exhibitions involving six or more artists, 48 percent received less than $300 honorarium, while 40 percent did not receive a fee.
It looks like larger organizations and museums were 10 percent more likely not to pay an artist fee than small- to medium-sized organizations. While 10 percent isn't a significant difference, the fact that larger organizations were not more likely to pay is significant, because we assume that larger institutions have greater means than smaller ones, and would therefore be more able to pay fees. The conclusion one might draw from this is that it's not a matter of being able but is instead a matter of being willing.
In other words, the coverage of expenses and the payment of fees are limited by the budgetary priorities of an organization. What are funds being spent on in lieu of paying artists: Salaries? Overhead? Capital projects? Fundraising events? We can only answer this conclusively by looking at artist fees paid out annually in relation to the rest of an organization's budget. The only problem is that there is no line item in annual operating budgets that indicates artist fees, which is why we had to do this survey. Institutions wouldn't tell us, but artists would.
What do these results mean for artists and their relationship with larger organizations?
After compiling and analyzing the results, we are more convinced than ever that there is little clarity, consistency, transparency, or negotiation regarding artist fees — above and beyond expenses, which themselves are being covered wholly inconsistently.
Cultural producers are not in a specific relationship with non-profit arts institution as a charity provider, or on the other end of the spectrum, as a speculator. Cultural producers serve as content providers and as educators within this relationship, as non-profit status affords the arts institution tax-exempt status to provide a public good. Whether the cultural producers an institution works with have none, some, or an overabundance of cultural capital and/or commercial market value, this should have no bearing on whether or not fees are paid and expenses are covered; how each project is negotiated with each artist, collective, lecturer or performer can take whatever form the project needs, but the provision of an artist fee is a necessity.
Did any of the results end up surprising you? Was there any good news to be had?
There was a surprise in gender differences in the coverage of travel expenses. It turned out that 69 percent of female respondents reported that they did not have any travel expenses, and of the remaining 31 percent who did, only 10 percent of them were partially or fully compensated for their expenses. Whereas 45 percent of male respondents reported that they did not have any travel expenses, and of the remaining 55 percent who did, 50 percent of them were partially or fully compensated for their expenses.
According to our sampling, some people (42 percent) who work with these institutions are actually paid — so it is possible. But accordingly to our sampling, over half are not. This inconsistency occurred throughout the data, and is what spurred the W.A.G.E. survey to begin with. Now we know it's true. This pattern must change, and eventually end.
Other good news is that there are many cases of artists having very positive experiences exhibiting with non-profits in New York. The purpose of this survey was not to publicly shame these organizations, but to gather evidence that there is a lack of consistency in their payment practices. For the most part we assume, and have experienced first-hand, that the dedication of non-profits to supporting the work of artists is a fact. We suspect that artist fees are not being paid for a number of different reasons, the main one being that there are no existing guidelines for what is appropriate and what is anticipated. The provision of an artist fee is therefore postponed, ignored, and if paid, is done so arbitrarily. W.A.G.E. Certification is intended to change that.
What are the first steps the art world can take to start solving the issues that the survey confronts?
An artist fee must be part of any exhibition, lecture, or performance proposal made to visual artists and performers. 100 percent of the cultural producers who work with arts institutions must be offered a fee as part of the negotiation of their work with that entity.
Both the artist and the art institution must be held to a compensation standard, whether this comes about because an institution develops methods of internal regulation in order to receive W.A.G.E. Certification, or via external pressure from funders — or both. W.A.G.E. Certification could require organizations to provide proof of payment of fees in the form of canceled checks paid to exhibiting artists and by incorporating artist fees as a separate and distinct line item in operating budgets as a matter of protocol. W.A.G.E. Certification is still in development, but funders could enforce this now.
How difficult is it to survey such a disparate group as artists? Is it possible to be at all comprehensive?
It is extremely difficult to be comprehensive, yes. The economic structure we're dealing with is unique, baffling, complex, layered, and alarmingly opaque, pitting cultural producers against each other in a destructive game of competition without compensation for their work. The non-profit is not a commercial marketplace, and although it clearly influences that marketplace, it is not one and the same; rather, it is a separate working and presentation space with its own budgets and set of mechanisms.
Surveying artists is difficult because of the unique nature of each artistic proposal and exhibition type. There are likely to be more exceptions to the options provided in the survey than there are those that conformed. Film screenings and lectures are a case in point. These activities can either be considered separate categories or they can be considered exhibitions or performances unto themselves. If an artist considered a single screening at MoMA to be a solo exhibition, then that's how the data would have been entered. When we constructed the survey we were also limited by the technology at the time (2010). Survey Monkey has since evolved to make more nuanced data collection possible.
Changes in artistic practice necessarily make it difficult to place things in defined categories, and it was a challenge to take all of that into account without the survey becoming prohibitively complex. We're thinking about how we can fix any holes, augment it for the continued collection of this data, and represent the fluid and flexible nature of negotiation strategies between arts institutions and cultural producers.
An earlier version of this article stated that W.A.G.E. teamed with Artists Space for the survey. It has been corrected to show that the survey was an independent project.

The Givenchy Antigona is having a moment. Earlier we spotted it on the arm of the gorgeous Miranda Kerr, and today, here's reformed Disney poppet Hilary Duff taking her beige Givenchy Antigona Tote to pilates. Amanda made a bold prediction 3 months ago that the Givenchy Antigona Tote could very well be the next "it" bag, and it looks like her intuition was correct!
The beige Antigona seems extremely practical for the ex-Miss Lizzie McGuire, if a little bland - as a celebrity, how can you settle for beige when far more exotic and exciting options like python are available for just a few thousand more?
But enough about "it" bags - I know why you're really here. You want to know what's up with Hilary Duff. Precious little, really, besides a bustling family life with pro hockey player hubs Mike Comrie and baby Luca. She's kept a fairly low profile since marriage and baby, and if Amanda will allow me to make my own prediction, I'd like to predict that Hilary Duff will most likely be back on the small screen in her own network TV series next fall - most likely on FOX or The CW. Or, worst case scenario, a cable network like Disney Family. Pick up her bag for $2405 via Barneys.

Rally counsels youth: Choose wisely
In St. Petersburg, pop culture is the medium and decisions the message of speaker, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.
By NICOLE JOHNSON
Published May 19, 2006
ST. PETERSBURG — Hundreds of teens in T-shirts and sneakers mingled with others dressed in designer jeans and heels.
Impromptu dance competitions broke out in the aisles, while high school rivalries were set aside and replaced with talk of summer. It was a come-as-you-are type of day Friday at Everyone's Youth United rally, which attracted more than 500 people.
"You have a choice every minute of the day," hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons said. "And the choices you make are critical to your future."
To youngsters attending the rally at the St. Petersburg Coliseum, 535 Fourth Ave. N, seeing Simmons was like seeing Santa.
"He's got the shoes, he's got the music," said 15-year-old Nashawbe Smart, a sophomore at Gibbs High School. "He's got it all."
United, a nonprofit St. Petersburg organization, has performed community outreach to at-risk youth since 2000. Friday's rally was the first in what organizers hope will become an annual event.
"Our goal is to help guide today's youth so they learn to make appropriate and healthy choices," said Eric Green, founder and chief executive officer of the organization, with headquarters at 700 43rd St. S.
Other panelists included WBTP-FM 95.7's morning show host Olivia Fox, Tampa Bay Buccaneer Shelton Quarles and Rep. Frank Peterman, D-St. Petersburg.
Simmons, 48, discovered some of hip-hop's biggest acts such as the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC. He founded a multimillion dollar fashion line and produced two HBO series. He recently has taken up youth awareness as a mission.
The Queens native founded the Hip Hop Summit Action Network in 2001, with civil rights leader Benjamin Chavis.
Green and Simmons made a connection while growing up in the same New York neighborhood during the 1960s and '70s.
As adults, they discovered that both were championing youth empowerment. "This year it came to reality that we could possibly reunite," Green said. "And we wanted to do that in the area of helping with social change and teens."
Simmons will appear in Miami today as part of the Hop Summit on Financial Empowerment.
The event, sponsored by Simmon's nonprofit organization, will take place at Florida Memorial University's A. Chester Robinson Athletic Center and aims to educate urban youth on how to better manage money and build wealth.
At Friday's event, the crowd of mostly tweens and teens from Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, enjoyed hip-hop dance troupes, a sassy poet and hip-hop and R&B performances, all by youngsters involved with Everyone's Youth United.
"It's a reflection of us as black children," said 17-year-old Roy Blake, a co-captain of the organization's marching band, the Marching Bobcats.
"A lot of people don't understand it, but we want to give people in our community a chance to choose something positive."
After the performances, participants were able to ask the panelist questions.
Topics ranged from how to obtain scholarships to advice for teen mothers to alternative oil sources.
The breadth of the questions was a pleasant surprise to Quatavia Harden, a 15-year-old sophomore at Gibbs High.
"I think for some teens, they want to put on a show, they act like they don't care or that they don't want to work for anything," Quatavia said.
"So I was like 'Wow, they're asking these questions?'" They must actually care."
Frazier Pollard, a bail bondsmen, brought his 6- and 12-year-old sons to the forum so they could better understand why staying away from criminal behavior was important.
"For half the bonds I write, the kids come in bragging about being put in jail," Pollard said. "I want them to know there's another side from Mom and Dad that's going to grab them, and when it does I want them to be ready to go to war against it."
In the end, Simmons promoted a spirit of giving to the audience, urging them to be tolerant of all types of people. "That's really all there is — giving," Simmons said. "Every prophet told you the same thing, really whatever you give the world is what you get back."

I have a question for the masses.
For those vendors in Japan, would you prefer they strictly used Yen?
I recognize it can be an advantage sometimes and a disadvantage other times. Right now, for example, the yen is weak providing sencha enthusiasts with great deals. If/when the yen strengthens then tea will cost more for those paying in USD.
My feeling is that I would prefer all vendors located in Japan to use Yen exclusively.
I'd be curious what others think.

A/I Pidgin Jabber Configuration Howto
First of all download Pidgin (Windows and Linux) or install it from your Linux distribution repository.
Pidgin is the client we most heartily recommend since it's the only one allowing you to use OTR support and to encrypt your Jabber communication to the safest level.
After downloading and installing the software, you will be prompted with a
similar window:
Click on the "Account" menu and on "Manage":
Click on "Add" and you will be prompted by a "Add an Account" window:
In this window you have to select "XMPP" from the dropdown list.
In our example we will be configuring Pidgin for the user: 'email@example.com'.
In the 'Public Name' field fill in your username without the domain (without '@inventati.org' in our example). In the 'Domain' field fill in the '@domain.org' part of you username ('@inventati.org' in our example).
In the 'Resource' field fill in whatever suits you (you can also leave it empty). While in the 'Local nickname' field fill in the name you want the other to read when they are contacting you.
It would be better not to fill in your password in the configuration window: you can type it every time you connect to our Jabber server with Pidgin.
Now you can move to the "Advanced" tab
Mark the checkbox "SSL/TLS" and fill in "5222" in the "Connection Port" field, and "jabber.autistici.org" in the "Server" field. Save your configuration and you are ready to go.
Now you will be back to Pidgin starting window: type your password and check your user tab to connect to our Jabber server (you can also configure your client to automatically connect at startup).
Now take care of your privacy!!!
Encryption as we manage it on the server side does not ensure the privacy of your jabber communication and third parts could always try to sneak on you. We suggest you to install the Jabber OTR plugin allowing you to manage directly the encryption between you and your friends, comrades, and partners.

Vague motion behind the textured glass 2002
About this artwork: The figure is holding a piece of glass and hiding behind it. The texture of the glass tightly pressed to the body and the trickling drops of aerosol spilt over its surface ought to cause a subtle feeling of some vague motion behind the glass. With the help of computer manipulations, contrasting blue and orange colors were added to the initial black and white image. In combination with the deep blue background, they make the picture intriguing and thought provoking.

Travel the World
Spring break can be a great time to relax and unwind with friends, and it can also offer a remarkable experience that stretches boundaries and broadens your global perspective. At Cottey, you'll have the opportunity to spend the first week of spring break visiting a European city with classmates and faculty, learning about art, history, science and culture. The trip doesn't cost you or your parents extra on your tuition. Cottey pays for your airfare and hotel. You're only responsible for meals and incidentals. Cottey believes every student deserves a global education, and travel to another culture is a valuable part of your learning. In fact, many students find it so empowering, they use the second week of spring break to organize their own overseas travel. Learn more about the trip by contacting the Office of Enrollment Management at
* Students traveling to New Zealand, Thailand or Tanzania may have additional fees. The college will reimburse airfare and lodging up to the cost of the European trip.
Every Cottey student attending the International Experience is required to take two educational modules, taught by Cottey faculty and administrators, during the week. Many students will take several modules. Below are titles of modules that have been taught in Florence, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, and Barcelona. Your modules may vary.
Most people who have travelled to other countries will say that it was an experience that changed their perspective, their understanding, and their lives; which is exactly what Cottey students say. We know you can learn as much from the experience, maybe even more, than from all the books you'd read in class.
That's why traveling abroad is built in to your Cottey experience. Previous destinations have included England, France, Italy, and Spain. Alternate destinations may include Japan, Thailand or Guatamala.

On January 17, 1958 the FDA approved dextromethorphan for over-the-counter sale as a cough suppressant. Today's show was a heartfelt tribute to the FDA and original damaged krautrocker Grussmer Schnider who first disovered DXM in the 1940s. I also want to thank the krauts for making speed.

I've only had a few "premium" black teas so far. I recently gave this one a try:
http://www.rishi-tea.com/product/ceylon ... /black-tea
The leaves appear to be good quality, unbroken, and have a fruit-heavy scent that makes me think of prunes.
I prepared it in this manner:
5.5g of tea leaf
250ml water, boiled, poured into a "kyusu" teapot
2m first infusion
It's actually very good. Aroma is very alluring when infused, and the resulting liquid is sweet, full and even throughout.
A second follow up infusion at 2m 30s with the same amount of boiled water is also appealing. Instead of becoming harsher like the Yunnanese tea that has most recently been my "black teas", it keeps a similar profile, though slightly weaker. I haven't had a chance to do a third infusion, so I might try that this weekend.
This tea, insofar as black tea goes, is not very tannic.
As you can tell, I'm awful at explaining my experience!
This is my first Ceylon tea. When getting into higher grade teas, my exposure to hongchas has been relatively limited compared to the others. I had been wanting to try some Indic-region produced teas and decided on this one over the Assam due to price.
This is not a tea that asks for anything to be added to it, as it's very satisfying on it's own. If you're thinking about trying it, I think it was a worthwhile experience.

Chicago Steakhouse Sandwich
- Steak:
- One 20-ounce boneless rib eye steak
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Sauteed Garlicky Spinach:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Three 10-ounce bags fresh spinach, washed and stemmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Sandwich Build:
- 1 fresh loaf crispy French bread, cut into 8-inch segments, buttered and grilled
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
For the steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Place the steak in the hot skillet, reduce the heat to medium and sear until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the steak and cook until medium/medium-rare, about 6 more minutes. Set aside, loosely covered with foil, and let rest before slicing.
For the sauteed garlicky spinach: Heat the oil and sliced garlic in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the garlic is golden brown and crispy. Remove the garlic and set aside on a paper towel to drain. Add the crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and stir to combine with the oil. Cover and let cook over medium-high heat until the spinach is wilted but still bright in color, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the garlic chips.
For the buttermilk blue cheese dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, blue cheese, dill, mustard and pepper together in a bowl and set aside. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
For the sandwich build: Slice the rested steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices, removing any non-rendered fat. Place the steak slices on the bottom bun, top with the spinach and schmear the top bun with buttermilk blue cheese dressing.

Dai and Jamie just asked me for help because the sound for the film had stopped suddenly.
I prodded the amp a bit and I can get a very very very weak signal (volume up to max and you can barely hear it) from the computer and DVD, but nothing proper.
I think probably the driver unit for output is dead. This is potentially fixable, depending on whether that is the problem or not.
Until then, I have wired the DVD player directly into the phono lead that goes to the stage multicore and thus into the desk on chan 11/12. This means the film could go ahead using the PA rather than cafe speakers but we now have no jukebox for tomorrow (or the foreseeable future).
I will come in tomorrow to help the KM get sound running through the desk and will try and do a guide tonight for use until we can get the amp repaired.
