LONG BEACH, CA (Catholic Online) "As a result of this, many of Jesus' disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him" (John 6:66). This is without a doubt one of the most mournful verses in Sacred Scripture. What can be sadder than to walk away in a definitive and final way from the One who is Life itself?
Every sin, even the slightest of sins, is a turning away from God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us (1850): "Sin sets itself against God's love for us and turns our hearts away from it." But the people in today's Gospel who abandon Jesus en masse are guilty of the grave sin of incredulity which is defined by the Catechism as "the willful refusal to assent to [revealed truth]" (2089).
History is replete with tragic examples of individuals and groups who have obstinately sinned against faith through voluntary doubt, incredulity, heresy, schism and apostasy (Catechism 2087-2089). The stories of these pitiful souls make up some of the most painful chapters in the Church's 2000 year long history. Unfortunately, we don't have to go that far back to read some of those woeful chapters. In our own times of doctrinal chaos and confusion, there are many who have stubbornly followed that same itinerary of unyielding error and doubt.
But John 6:66 is where it all started. It is here that the Gospel records the first major defection from Jesus and his teaching. Many, we are told, refused to accept his clear and unequivocal doctrine regarding the Eucharist (the word itself comes from verse 11 of this chapter). Our Lord told the crowd that he would give them his flesh to eat and his blood to drink and that was the last straw. Without further hesitation and with full freedom they left him never to return.
There is nothing divinely inspired about the division of the books of the Bible according to chapters and verses. This system of organizing the sacred text came many centuries after the closing of the canon of scripture and has facilitated greatly the study of the Sacred Page.
But I have to admit there is at least something eerily coincidental about the first massive repudiation of Christ and this verse's location precisely at John 6:66. Even among the biblically and religiously illiterate masses, "666" is a number which is supremely evocative. It is the devil's number, they will say. It is the mark of the beast! It is the number of the Anti-Christ! It is the number which is synonymous with Lucifer's brazen rebellion against God himself!
In my work with teenagers, it amazes me how many of them do not know that Jesus Christ instituted 7 Sacraments but invariably nearly all of them will have immediate recognition of the infernal connotations of the numeral "666". They might even know that the number is found in that last and "scary" book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
What they most certainly do not know is that the "devil's number" is mentioned only once in the Book of Revelation and that its meaning is much more nuanced. We have too little space here to address this topic adequately, but this much we can say. Most likely the number "666" refers to Nero Caesar, a godless and depraved man who holds the distinction of being the first Roman emperor to launch an exceedingly cruel and bloody persecution of the Church.
In Revelation 13:17, the number "666" is linked with the "name" of the beast. When written in Hebrew (each Hebrew letter possesses a numerical value), "Nero Caesar" adds up to "666". Moreover, the Hebrew cognate for the Greek word for "beast" also adds up to "666".
St. John the Evangelist tells us in verse 18: "Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six."
Wisdom is needed here. The sacred author is giving us a hint of sorts. The number "666" also appears in the Old Testament in conjunction with King Solomon who received 666 talents of gold in a year's time. He who had been known for his great wisdom soon became forgetful of God because of the immense wealth he had amassed for himself.
The "mark of the beast," then, in the Book of Revelation is intended to force believers to make a choice not unlike that of Solomon. The choice is to prefer the goods of this world (material wealth, temporal security) over the goods of heaven (salvation and interior peace). Consequently, the believer who remains faithful to Christ and refuses allegiance to the beast will pay a very high price. The price he will pay will be nothing less than poverty, persecution and martyrdom.
Scripture scholar, Dr. Michael Barber, offers this summary: "When John uses "666," he refers, at the most basic level, to fallen humanity."Â (Coming Soon: Unlocking the Book of Revelation and Applying Its Lessons Today, p. 177)
Now let's apply this to our current circumstances. At this juncture in our history, Catholics and other believers in this country are figuratively in that crowd of Jesus' followers described for us in John 6. We are on the verge of making a momentous decision with both temporal and eternal consequences. It is John 6:66 all over again. We are at a crossroads, but to be accurate, it has taken us decades to get here.
The silence of Catholic leaders in the face of the unleashing of the demon of artificial contraception with the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griswold vs. Connecticut (1965), coupled with their abysmal failure to fully embrace and teach the beautiful truths about marriage contained in Humanae Vitae, put us firmly on this fateful road.
Griswold invoked the so-called "right of privacy" (which is found nowhere in the Constitution) and thus paved the way for the wholesale legalization of the extermination of little boys and little girls in their mothers' womb (Roe vs. Wade and Doe. vs. Bolton in 1973).
Notwithstanding the grassroots efforts of ordinary American citizens and pro-life organizations who together have labored for over 40 years to end abortion in our land, the Church in America has for the most part paid lip service to the cause of defending the unborn. That may sound like an overly harsh assessment but I would argue it is a fair one.
In spite of initiatives like the annual "Respect Life Month" and the more recent "Fortnight for Freedom" rallies, it is apparent that the Gospel of Life has not really trickled down to the pulpits and to the pews of America. In my own state of California, for instance, Catholics vote routinely and overwhelmingly for the same pro-abortion candidates. And in the last two national elections, our wickedly pro-abortion President was catapulted to victory with the necessary help of the majority of Catholic voters.
As already stated, we have been on this dangerous path for a long time and now we are rapidly reaching the end of the line. August 1, 2013, is right around the corner. Housing Secretary and Catholic (sic) Kathleen Sebelius has announced that the infamous "HHS contraceptive mandate" will go into full effect by that date with zero accommodations being afforded to the Church and to other people of faith.
The HHS mandate will require most health plans in the United States to cover abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, sterilization procedures, and related education and counseling. The U.S. Bishops' Conference has called the mandate "an unprecedented violation of religious liberty by the federal government." Good faith efforts to work with the Obama administration to negotiate a solution to the standoff have been fruitless. Legal filings on the part of the Church and other parties have met with little or no success. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.
It doesn't appear that the President is willing to budge on this. Abortion, contraception and sterilizations are almost like "sacraments" to him. If one dares disagree with him on these points one is classified as an intolerant, right wing extremist and is then accused of forcing one's religious beliefs upon others.
The irony is, Obama is the one who is doing the imposing. Faithful Catholics would say that if an individual is foolish enough to want to use any of these so-called "services" he or she is free to do so, but don't expect us to pay for it!
I have found an analogy useful in helping people to understand just what is at stake: someone said that the HHS mandate is akin to forcing an atheist to pay for the free distribution of Bibles. The atheist would say, "You want to read the Bible? That's your business, but don't expect me to pay for it!" And believers of every stripe would wholeheartedly agree.
This is logical. But when it comes to the godless, utilitarian ideology espoused by Obama, there is no room for logic. Nor is there room for true dialogue. If it wasn't clear before, it is clear now that the President, despite all his claims to the contrary, is unwilling to make any compromises. But nor can we. When it comes to good and evil, there is never any possibility of compromise.
Barring some unexpected intervention, August 1, 2013, will be the day when our true mettle as Christians will be tested. Both Catholic and Christian educational institutions and entities, as well as Christian run businesses and individuals will be put to the test. We will have to decide if we are going stand with Christ or walk away as they did in John 6:66.
I am thinking of my little and struggling parish school. The worst case scenario is that we will have to close rather than to submit to the unjust and immoral Obama diktats. I pray that that will not be necessary but only time will tell.
I find solace and encouragement, however, in the words of the Collect of today's Mass:
O God, who in the font of Baptism have made new those who believe in you, keep safe those reborn in Christ, that, defeating every onslaught of error, they may faithfully preserve the grace of your blessing.
May the prayers of our Holy Mother Mary, Help of Christians and Queen of Martyrs, gain for us divine assistance in this great hour of need.

Advice on managing your wealth from best-selling author Bill Bonner.
From trusted New York Times best-selling author Bill Bonner comes a radical new way to look at family money and a practical, actionable guide to getting and maintaining multigenerational wealth. Family Fortunes: How to Build Family Wealth and Hold on to It for 100 Years is packed with useful information, interwoven with Bonner's stories about his own family's wealth philosophy and practices.
A comprehensive guide that shows how families can successfully preserve their estates by ignoring most of what people think they know about "the rich" and, instead, training and motivating all family members to work together toward a very uncommon goal. This book is a must-read for all individual investors—even those who do not plan to leave money to their children—because it challenges many of the most ubiquitous principles and rules of investing. You might expect a book on family wealth to be extremely conservative in its outlook. Instead, the Bonners announce what is practically a revolutionary manifesto. They explain:
You will come away with a very different idea as to what family wealth is all about. It is not stodgy. Not boring. Not moss-backed and reactionary. On the contrary, it is the most dynamic, forward-looking capital in the world. The essential guide to passing wealth from one generation to the next, Family Fortunes is filled with concrete, practical advice you can put to use right away.

"Where is the financial advice? Indoctrination!"
The title of this book suggests that you are going to be getting practical advice for long term financial planning for your family. Surprise! I'm now into the second hour and I have heard two pieces of advice: 1) delay gratification 2) have a big family and put them to work in the family business. All the rest was amateur right wing history, and I do mean amateur. We are not talking William F. Buckley here. If you like this sort of stuff, just watch Glenn Beck. Its free and you can save your precious book credit!
Provide some actual information and advice about multi-generational financial planning.
He did a fine job reading the book. Too bad about the drivel.
Are you kidding me? Also, who published this?
"Well written, well researched"
The authors embark on a quest to answer a enormously complex question: How a family can achieve everlasting wealth, but more than that how can they pass the values and principles that will assure a sustainable structure for wealth preservation and creation.
I have been struggling with those questions a lot, and I have not found too many writings on the subject matter. I guess we live in the age of "right here, right now" where instant gratification precedes any sense of heritage or legacy.
It is very refreshing to find like-minded thinkers that contemplate a bigger sense of ourselves. I think that multigenerational wisdom has been essential to our evolution as specie. Imagine each one of us trying to re-invent plowing or animal raising... Where would we be?
However today, grandparents embark on cruises, parents work long hours, and the guidance of the youth is left to the TV set.
I have a lot of respect for the authors candor and their frankness in recognizing that they don't have all the answers. At times they even expose their disagreement on certain principles.
Weather you'll agree with the book or not, the material is guaranteed to make you think, therefore I recommend it wholeheartedly.

"Excellent...surprisingly refreshing!!!"
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I was surprised at how non-mainstream the ideas are, and also how sensible. Not everyone will want to implement all the components described, but as a family fortune grows, they will become more and more important. The long term perspective is fantastic, and could be applied to leaving a legacy in other areas besides wealth.
"Like an Awkward Thanksgiving"
Great courses.
Most of the time.
Non-fiction, no characters.
I have been reading and listening to books on family wealth, trusts and dynasties. The title was promising. It has some good advice, nothing revolutionary though. Most of the book is like listening to a grouchy uncle at Thanksgiving who wants to tell you why the government and young people are stupid.It has lots of setup and exposition. A lot of predictions. Very little fact based advice. Listen to James Hughes books if you want to learn about family wealth.
"Excellent and Very Helpful"
This book gave me much enlightenment about the management of family assets. I had never thought about these issues to this extent before. In some ways the book has given me a real sense of urgency to actually address this important issue.
Overall, I found the book to be exceptionally helpful. This is without doubt, the best summary of asset management for families that I have come across. Well done.
"Excellent book"
Truly an excellent book. Honest, real. Unlike lots of other books. Real and true. Every person needs to listen to this book.
Great listen. Really a must listen. Bill and Will do an amazing job on explaining the false truths of money, wealth and passing it on. More importantly they talk about family and characteristics of building a strong family. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be wealthy you should read or listen to have a stronger family and learn how your being taken advantage of.
"A read that was long overdue."
I enjoyed this book. There are a lot of stories and advice in is book that I will look to incorporate into my family in the hopes of creating a real family fortune. Good book, I recommend it.
"Rich idiots"
Some insight may be helpful but basically a bunch of pompous assholes wrote a book of generalized advice on how to accumulate family fotunes
"Interesting Read"
I thought the author did a decent job, although, like all wealth building books there is no silver bullet

It's supposed to snow down here in Houston this afternoon and tomorrow. I'd appreciate it if, in the future, you guys (and gals) would keep your snow up North and not let it spill out down here.Thanks,Craig
Right now, when I shovel my walkway, I have to heave the snow to the top of a hill of ice, 6 feet high and 8 feet away. If I, say, miss the mark by by only throwing the snow 7 feet, it rolls right down the hill and I have to shovel it again. And again. And again.I don't mind snowstorms nor do I mind shoveling, but atmospheric conditions between storms that prevent snow from melting so that I run out of places to put it- that's pure misery.
Craig,How often do you even get snow in Houston? I guess you guys and gals down that way are going to get a taste of what it is like to live in the North. At least you dont have to deal with the snow or ice all winter. We are supposed to get more snow starting tomorrow night and maybe even again on Tuesday.Norma
LOVE IT Norma! Very Creative My friend would very much like to try a slice !! Please Excuse the hair He got a little to close to the oven! John
Norma, you've invented the "pizza peel rack".
Well, we didn't get any snow in Houston, but its 28F, and there is ice everywhere. The first overpass I came to this morning had 13 cars scattered across it. I should have turned around right there, but I didn't, and by the grace of God, I made it to work OK. It's going to be a nightmare here when the masses hit the roads... should be starting about now. Ya'll stay warm and safe.Craig
Norma,This is pure genius!!! Call Peter Max, he's got some competition Mark
I decided to make a Valentine Pizza out of snow today. The snow is now really icy so the Valentine Snow pizza was a little harder to make. The dough didn't want to cooperate. This time I made a white snow pizza with pepperoni hearts. My crust browned a little better today.Happy Valentines Day Everyone! A poem about Pizza for Valentines Day.http://www.helium.com/items/982862-poetry-pizza Pizza is universally loved.Pictures belowNorma
I hope the yellow is food colouring!
I can not tell you how happy this thread made me. Thanks Norma!

Through our sourcing and production activities, we are connected to farmers and factory workers in several countries, mainly in Asia. G-Star wants to make a positive impact on these communities by being actively involved. Not only indirectly by contributing to employment opportunities, but also directly by improving the long term prospects for these communities.
As a company that is founded on entrepreneurial spirit, G-Star believes that knowledge and business opportunities are the best way to economic independence and therefore key for development.
We established the GSRD Foundation in 2007 through which we support projects that are located in G-Star's production countries and focus on:
The GSRD Foundation offers children and adolescents vocational training concentrating on both knowledge and skills, to give them the possibility to learn a profession and have better chances for the future.
To encourage people to start a business, the GSRD Foundation offers entrepreneurs the possibility to pursue their business ambitions by providing knowledge, grants and loans.
When starting the GSRD Foundation, we entered a new field of expertise. To provide vocational training and entrepreneurial opportunities we therefore rely on the expertise of knowledgeable and experienced partner organisations in the field of development cooperation.
In partnership with these organisations, the GSRD Foundation currently supports projects located in India, China, Bangladesh and Peru. G-Star also produces in countries in Europe, but we consciously choose not to support projects in countries where a functioning social system is in place and community support is less urgently needed.
When it comes to our cooperation with partner organisations we strive for long term relations. This way we can strengthen our partners and projects and make a sustainable impact on the countries where G-Star's production takes place. For more information about the GSRD Foundation and an overview of all supported projects, please visit our GSRD Foundation website:

and a template called confirmation.text.erb containing the body.
But when testing the mail, i get an error with the message:
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

Anyone knows what i am doing wrong ?
Thanks !

Choosing organic cotton bedding does good things for the earth, its plants, and its people. By supporting organic farming practices that do not rely heavily on pesticides, not only will you keep harmful chemicals out of the Earth's water and soil, you will also keep them off of your own skin. Knowing you have purchased clothing or bedding manufactured using ethical labor practices may even help you sleep better when you go to bed at night.
Understanding precisely how organic cotton is grown, harvested, woven, and sold is the first step to realizing how your choice really does impact others. The following infographic explains this process in detail, focusing in particular on how organic

Long natural looking wavy hairstyle
Long, lustrous, natural curls are the best feature of this classic women's style. A shiny, espresso-brown hue provides a rich background as hair is parted straight down the middle and allowed to curl profusely in large waves over each shoulder. Styling is shiny and glossy, but with lots of movement, instead of being frozen hard in place. From the center part until about 6 inches down, hair is pulled straight by its own weight, and this allows for the sides to be waved back and frame the face. Strong brows and smoky eyes echoing the rich brown color complement and finish off the look perfectly.

Last Monday I had a slight identity crisis. I was at a temple Sisterhood meeting when a file folder was passed around. If you owed money for ordering birthday and anniversary cards, you looked up your name, noted the balance due and put in a check.
When the folder reached me, I pulled out my checkbook and searched through to find my envelope. It wasn't there. At first I thought maybe I didnât owe any money â but I knew I had sent a few tributes.
Then it hit me: My envelope moved to a different letter. Sure enough, the one with my name on it was now in the "F" section based on my married name, not my maiden name—where I had originally been searching for it. My maiden name had been crossed out and the married name put in its place.
Later, when a sign-up sheet to help at the Womenâs seder was passed around, I wrote my maiden and married name on it. I figured it was one thing for me to get used to it, it was quite another for my friends to keep seeing it.
Iâve been trying to use my married name more and more, but since I am not legally changing it, I have to check when I sign up for things which name I can use â more often than not, using both names is not a problem (like the "win a Disney Cruise " contest I signed up for this morning).
On Feb., 14, my husband and I spent our first Valentineâs Day as Mr. and Mrs. â which meant I got to buy his card from an entirely different section at Hallmark: The âTo My Husbandâ zone. (Amazingly enough, the "to my wife" section was totally intact, while the husband section looked like a hurricane had hit it.)
When we went to our favorite restaurant that night for dinner, the owner looked at us and said: "It's the Fs!" And I got a warm feeling in my heart.
Last weekend I attended a Spirituality Day event at our synagogue â it was the first time my full name has been on a tag since we were married in October.
Being an "old married lady" is quite a kick. You seem to achieve this knowledge about life â other married women look at you differently. You are thought of as a peer. Others turn to you for advice. You become a guru â but without the chanting.
However, no matter what, Iâm still me â just with a longer name ⦠and a more squished name tag.

A fun night for all
The 16th annual ACC and Pied Piper Fun Night basketball fundraiser came and went and it was again a huge success.
More than 200 people showed up to Park Arena on Wednesday to watch the men and women of the Alpena Community College and Pied Piper basketball teams strut their stuff and raise a little money.
Many of the ACC players were surprised at how well their Pied Piper teammates played.
"It was really a lot of fun, I've never heard of anything else like this going on anywhere else. There were a lot of talented people out on the court tonight," ACC player Whitney Frazier said.
A lot of former Pied Piper players made it to the event to cheer on their compatriots and ACC players alike.
"I like coming out to the game every year. I played a really long time but I'm retired now," former Pied Piper Special Olympics Area 3 basketball player Paul Stosik said.
The first game featured the Pied Piper Hawks team mixed up with the Lady Lumberjacks. Many of the players on the team have played in multiple Fun Night games, including 61-year- old Roger Dingle who played his last game.
"He told me this year, 'Brett, I gotta retire. I'm getting too old for this," Pied Piper teacher and Special Olympics basketball coach Brett Burke said with a laugh.
Dingle was one of the Hawks' best players as he sunk many baskets throughout the night. However, Mike Cook, another veteran of many a Fun Night was also key to his team's play.
"It's good to learn how to get motivated, learn what you're doing (on the court) and make everybody feel good by playing," Cook said.
The first game saw a lot of smiles as everybody got a chance to take a shot and everybody on the Pied Piper team got a chance to score at least once.
After some tight play and strange calls from referee Bobby Allen, the game ended with a 37-37 tie.
The Pied Piper Falcon team mixed with the ACC men's basketball team for the second game. There was some real talent on the Falcon team coming from players like Tony Seres, William Walsh and Jeremy Fountain. The speed that Seres possessed driving to the basket was impressive and Walsh was a highly accurate shot.
The arena filled with cheers every time anybody scored. Everybody once again got a chance to score. The ACC men got into the excitement by throwing some big dunks. Jake Strong, Chris Calvin and Steven Sheppard wowed their fans and teammates alike with their high flying dunks.
Even Kharri Dailey got into the act at halftime, lifted into the air by Calvis and Sheppard. The fun was contagious to every player on the team.
This game ended with another tie, a higher 49-49 score. By then, everybody had a smile on their face and lots of high fives and hugs were going around between player and coach alike.
Pied Piper Hawks coach Megan Miller was very excited about her first experience with Fun Night.
"Tonight went really well. The ACC teams were awesome, everybody got to score more than once and I really hope I get a chance to participate again," she said.
Allen, who has been helping put together the Fun Night for 16 years along with Burke, thinks the game is a learning experience for both sides.
"It really gives the guys and the girls a different perspective on sports. It's something they look forward to year after year and we even get people coming back to play. People that have played always seem to want to come back and play again. Seeing the smiles on everybody faces is reward enough for holding the game. As long as I'm here, there will be these games," he said.
All money goes directly to the Pied Piper Special Olympics basketball team.

JournalingPosted by Judah Adashi in CD Review, tags: cornelius dufallo, electronics, Huang Ruo, Innova Recordings, Joan Jeanreneaud, John King, john luther adams, Judah Adashi, Kenji Bunch, Vijay Iyer, violin
Innova Recordings 831
Cornelius Dufallo, violin and electronics
Cornelius Dufallo seems to be everywhere of late, making great music wherever he goes. At one time best known for his work as a violinist with the adventurous string quartet ETHEL, Dufallo has now turned his full attention to a wide-ranging career as a composer and soloist. Having established a recital series, Journaling, devoted to collaborations with fellow composers, Dufallo's new release of the same name documents those partnerships alongside his own music.
Dufallo's two pieces on Journaling are driven by loops. Violin Loop I serves as a propulsive opener, and Violin Loop V as a meditative interlude. These works are inextricably tied to the composer's explorations of his instrument as a performer: Dufallo's gliding lyricism, pure tone, and sensitive use of varied techniques and technologies articulate a sound world all his own.
The album includes uniformly strong contributions from a broad range of composers: John King's restless Prima Volta; Joan Jeanreneaud's mesmerizing Empty Infinity; pianist-composer Vijay Iyer's contrapuntally rich Playlist One (Resonance), which culminates in a melody of understated beauty; Huang Ruo's soulful, sinuous Four Fragments; and Kenji Bunch's wistful Until Next Time.
The centerpiece of the disc is John Luther Adams's Three High Places, written in memory of the composer's longtime friend Gordon Wright. For those who know Adams's music primarily from his larger-scale soundscapes, this eloquent study in open strings and natural harmonics will sound at once familiar and revelatory.
Both as a composer and as a performer, Dufallo has a gift for personal, direct communication. Journaling affirms that he has found kindred spirits along his musical journey, and affords a rewarding glimpse into the private world that they are creating.

Free Falling - Page 3
Gravitational Pull
Three exercises from trail running's top ranks to help you conquer downhills:
- Max King says: Work on Turnover. While Newton's Law is there to assist you, speed work is still helpful. "Start by working on a fast turnover and under-body foot placement going down a wide, mellow dirt hill," says King. "This will help you with foot coordination before committing to high speed on a steep, technical downhill."
- Nikki Kimball says: Work on Core Strength. Twisted ankles and ankle sprains are common injuries resulting from downhill running. "Several studies show increased incidence of ankle sprains among athletes with weak hips, particularly the gluteus muscles," Kimball says. "Be sure to do at least two core sessions, including hips, each week."
- Dave Mackey Says: Practice Makes Perfect. As with any skill, the best way to improve is through repetition. Mackey, also an avid rock climber, offers this advice: "In rock climbing, there are patterns called engrams that help climbers learn repetitive movements. When the same movement is performed over and over, the climber intuitively recognizes the pattern when he or she encounters it on a climb. The same goes for downhill running—practice tech-y downhill and your mind will record similar movements."

The summer grind
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
My summer started on the 5th of May in St. Louis at Washington University Medical School. The previous Friday, I jumped in my car after finals and drove east along I-70, visiting friends in Denver, and ending up in St. Louis on Sunday. I grew up in St. Louis and my two brothers live in St. Charles County. My father is buried in St. Charles. Even though my notion of home has changed, traveling back to Missouri still feels like I am coming home.

we all know paul has a lot of great songs. maybe even a few not so great ones, as well. but what makes a great album? does every song on an album have to be great? i'd suggest no. but it sure wouldn't hurt to have a sequence of songs, back to back, that build up our expectations for what is (hopefully) to follow. so i ask, what 3 songs, sung consecutively, on one album...are best?
i'd suggest what starts out on side two of tug of war.
ballroom dancing
the pound is sinking (with absolutely the best, and best sung, middle eight maybe he's ever done)
wanderlust (shame it has to be a hit for it to be known, this is one of his very best)
those are mine, fine poeple. what would yours be?

hello everyone, im as newbie as it can possibly get. i have had adagios bottled white teas, but that can get fairly expensive, and from juicing and making fresh smoothies Ive learned that making things fresh is the way to go.
I'm interested in white tea, because i like the lighter,sweeter, less grassy taste as opposed to the Japanese green tea ive had. I'm also doing this for my health as well, from what i have learned silver needle is the healthiest of the bunch.
So having said that, ive never brewed a pot of coffee or tea in my life, im not looking to get crazy traditional here, but i wanted to get some opinions on where i should go from here, given that context.
i was thinking about using the UtiliTEA Kettle to make this tea, so my question would be should i get the silver needle sold by adagio, or from someone else? i will say i do NOT want any loose leaf tea that is made with pesticides whatsoever, i don't "need" the organic label, but i would like to know my tea leaves have had no pesticides used on them.
So what do you guys recommend for the total newb starting out (trying to keep this simple and convenient. But also keep in mind im looking to get the optimum health benefits from this stuff so brand/type of silver needle/ and steeping time/instructions should be focused on that aspect.

This has been something on my mind for almost a year now.
Last February, I was listening to the local NPR radio affiliate and heard a very interesting program on the science of taste and to what degree our brains and/or perceptions of what we're eating or drinking affect our impressions.
It was a very interesting bit of radio to say the least (the first half is what mostly applies). Here's a link to the full transcript, however I would encourage you to seek out the podcast, as listening to the audio is worthwhile.
http://www.freakonomics.com/2012/02/28/ ... ranscript/
To summarize, they mainly talk about wine and how people who taste two different (or identical) wines will mostly say the more expensive wine tastes better. Then the labels would be switched, and people will now claim the other wine is better (it will make more sense when you read/listen to the program). They also mention other tests and studies regarding this idea, which also found that experts and regular wine drinkers both tend to rate wines as better tasting, and that their ratings were linked to the value they believe the wine has.
I'm curious to hear some opinions on how this idea applies to tea. How much do you think our perceptions of a tea affect how much we enjoy it? Yes? No? Why or why not? And before you completely denounce the possibility that you do this, consider the snobby, senior professor from the story

Metal music that's not for the faint: Lamb of God headlines roaring show at super-packed Palladium Ballroom
Lamb of God prides itself in incorporating a variety of styles into its brand of metal – speed, death, thrash, groove and punk. But ultimately the band's musical gist is pretty simple: The sound of frontman Randy Blythe and his four group mates is not for the faint. Even the strong might be taken aback. Lamb of God is machine gun fierce with a bludgeoning bass kick that never lets up.
During its nearly 90-minute headlining gig Friday night before a super-packed audience at Palladium Ballroom, Lamb of God rattled the bones. You could feel the vibrations in your chest as you took in two video screens, one on either side of drummer Chris Adler's kit, shooting smoke, manic lighting and the guttural rumble of Blythe's voice. The set list touched on material from the last six Lamb of God albums, including this year's Resolution, and each cut was greeted with hollering, body surfing and hammering rock horns.
The show followed Blythe's recent indictment in the Czech Republic on charges of manslaughter with intent to cause bodily harm. Those charges stem from the death of a young fan in 2010 at a Lamb of God concert in Prague. Blythe has been accused of pushing that fan off the stage during the concert. That fan later died from a head injury. A trial date has not been set yet, but Blythe has pledged to return to Prague to defend himself.
Blythe spent the better part of the summer in a Czech Republic jail cell until his bail was approved. His detainment forced the band to cancel its tour with virtual metal band Dethklok. That trek had been scheduled to stop Sept. 9 at Grand Prairie's Verizon Theatre. Onstage at Palladium Ballroom, the tattooed and dreadlocked singer made brief mention of his recent ordeal without divulging any specifics.
"I had an interesting summer to say the least," he told the crowd. "You may have heard. It is so nice to be back in the United States of America."
Blythe and company wrap up this tour Dec. 16 in Seattle. The trek also featured performances by British metal band Sylosis, Sweden's metal masters In Flames and the groove-fortified southern metal of Dallas' own Hellyeah. Among the particularly fierce Lamb of God tunes were "Now You've Got Something to Die For," which Blythe dedicated to the men and women of the armed forces, the set-opening "Desolation" and the chanting intensity of "Walk With Me In Hell." "Laid to Rest," a song immortalized in Guitar Hero II, arrived during the encore.
The show went off without a hitch, an ambiance of controlled chaos that's a testament to Blythe and his piercing fellow performers. Blythe's future is uncertain, which in turn makes Lamb of God's existence unpredictable. But since all they have is the present, they made sure it was business as usual. That meant ripping through metal staples with the roar of hungry musicians out to show off their mettle.

From Battlefield to the Business World -- Veterans Make It on Their Own
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- More than 1 million veterans are expected to transition out of military service by 2015, according to the International Franchise Association. And new research finds that the rate of entrepreneurism among returning military soldiers is falling.
According to the Kaufmann Foundation , until three years ago, U.S. veterans generally started companies at higher rates than non-veterans did. In 1996, veterans represented 12.3% of all new entrepreneurs. In contrast, veterans comprised just 6% of new entrepreneurs in 2011, according a report released last week by the research organization.
Kauffman attributes the declining numbers to several factors.
For one, there is an increasing amount of non-veterans who are becoming entrepreneurs as a result of the financial crisis, therefore skewing the numbers.
Additionally, large numbers of veterans are leaving the workforce for retirement. That means younger veterans have less support from "within their own community of veterans as they consider their own entrepreneurial ventures" and "fewer networking opportunities, mentors and funders among the older generations of vets," says Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation.
Yet a host of organizations, financial assistance websites and the government are looking to encourage more veterans to start a business.
Probably the best place for military vets to start for small-business assistance is with the Small Business Administration.
Through the SBA's Office of Veterans Business Development , veteran-owned small businesses can get financing help, business training and mentoring and assistance with federal procurement programs.
The agency is stepping up its efforts. This year, the SBA partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a national entrepreneurship training program. Operation Boots to Business: From Service to Startup was piloted with all four military branches in summer and fall 2012 and will be rolled out next year.
The SBA already partners with Syracuse University through its the Entrepreneurship Boot Camp for Veterans with Disabilities program. Now in its fourth year, the program also provides training on how disabled vets can start and grow a small business.
Since 2009, the first year SBA partnered with Syracuse University, 434 service-disabled veterans have participated in the program. About seven other universities participate in the program.
In terms of capital access, the SBA has backed more than 3,200 loans worth $2.1 billion to support veteran-owned small businesses through its flagship 7(a) loan programs and 504 loan programs. That includes the SBA's Patriot Express loans, which offer one of SBA's fastest turnaround times for approvals on loans up to $500,000 to small businesses owned by veterans, reservists and their spouses.
Patriot Express loans can be used for most business purposes, including startup, expansion, equipment purchases, working capital, inventory or business-occupied real-estate purchases, the SBA says.

I finally got to see Neil Young. (After waiting years and years) He was like a lightening bolt on stage. Definately one of the most passionate musicians I've ever seen live. His guitar solos were amazing, and his vocals were one of a kind.
I had mixed feelings about the new album. I still kind of do. (Not so much the message but the quality of the songs) But one thing's for certain: it's energized the heck out of Neil Young.
It was sort like seeing three shows: The Living With War Tour, CSN's Greatest Hits, and the Neil Young powerhouse tour.
The best part of the show for me was seeing Neil Young perform "Only Love Can Break Your Hear" with just him playing an upright piano and David Crosby and Graham Nash singing harmony vocals. Just amazing.
Neil's two other show-stoppers were "Ohio" and an incredible "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" with Neil and Stephen Stills dueling it out on guitar. Some of the most memorable guitar playing I've ever seen live. Neil also played a great guitar solo during "Deja Vu."
As for CSN - Graham Nash was great. He is a highly underrated songwriter IMHO. "Our House' sounded note perfect, and one of his newer songs called "Milky Way Tonight" was pretty solid. In fact, of CSN, he's the only one that's displayed any great songwriting ability as of late. If you take out Graham's songs and Neil's songs from Looking Forward, you aren't left with much at all. "Teach Your Children" was good, but not spectacular. Just a stroll through one of the hits. Same for Stephen Stills' "Southern Cross."
Stills was great on guitar, but it was kind of sad seeing how overweight he has become. As good as his guitar playing was, it was almost funny watching an over-weight, balding hippie trying to "rock out." Same for David Crosby. I wish both of them would take better care of themselves. Neil, on the other hand, looked perfectly natural. Anyway, some of Stephen's better numbers live were "Carry On," "Treetop Flyer" (w/just Neil backing him up), his cover of the Booker T Jones song "Ole Man Trouble," and "For What It's Worth." His vocals sounded great on "Ole Man Trouble." Very soulful. And to see Neil and Stephen perform "For What It's Worth" together on stage was quite a treat.
David Crosby still sounded good. He was particularly good on "Guinnevere" with just Graham Nash backing him up on vocals. That reminded me of seeing Simon and Garfunkel perform an almost perfect version of "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme" a couple of years ago.
It was kind of interesting to see the "Freedom of Speech" tour just outside of Washington, DC. I strolled by the White House a few hours before the concert. Lots of folks were outside picketing in support of Lebanon and Palestine. It's great that they have the freedom to do so in America. It's unfortunate that many people living under totalitarian regimes don't have that freedom.
Now for the protest songs. After having listened to LWW a several times since its release, I've really grown to appreciate a couple of the songs, but much of the album just seems average to me. I wish Neil had spent a bit more time working on the songs. I know he wrote "Cinnamon Girl,' "Cowgirl in the Sand," and "Down By the River" all in one afternoon. I wish these songs were as good. A couple of them are great. "Roger and Out" and "The Restless Consumer" are two of the best songs he's written in the past decade. Before singing "Roger and Out" he said, "There are lots of different ways to return home from a war." "Flags of Freedom" is a descent rewrite of Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom" and it was a pretty good choice to open the concert with.
The title track and "Shock and Awe" seem mediocre to me, and they weren't any better live. Neither was "Families."
"Let's Impeach the President" has actually grown on me. Particularly the line "...and bend the facts to fit with their new stories Of why we had to send our men to war." Because that's exactly what's been happening since day one. I'm sure I'm not the only person that thought Iraq might have had WMDs after we were told that by Bush and Blair. Now Bush says he would have "probably" gone into Iraq regardless of whether they had them or not. I just wish that Bush had been honest about everything from the very start. The cover-up is always worse than the crime. Especially when you are dealing with human lives.
Neil performed the song with CSN behind a huge microphone like the over-sized equipment on the "Live Rust" tour.
The most moving protest song, however, was "Find the Cost of Freedom." They all four sang it acoutically with pictures of all of the fallen U.S. soldiers in Iraq behind them. Unfortunately freedom does come with a cost, and you always have to determine whether or not these wars are worth the "cost." I don't think this war in Iraq has been worth the cost at all. But most importantly, I don't' think it's advanced our freedom at all. It would be nice if it advanced somebody's freedom, but I'm afraid it hasn't even done that. Saddam was a brutal dictator, but the way things are going we'll be lucky if he isn't replaced by a fanatical religious leader or another dictator.
One of the greatest things about the concert is that there wasn't any preaching between songs or anything. They all let the songs speak for themselves.
The main thing I took away from the concert is that Neil Young is still one of the most relevant and energetic performers of his generation. CSN would have been mediocre at best without him. But he really provides a spark. I think his presence alone made the other three perform better. He's notoriously uneven, but when he's on he's on. This night he was on.

Good value for making smoothies healthier with protein and not too much sugar. Mixes well, tastes good Have already recommended it to others.
Best Milk Substitute To Date!
Posted by Reviewer2841544 on Oct 24, 2009
After having tried many options for milk, that must be gluten, casein, and carageenan free, this is by far the best.
This rocks!
Posted by Reviewer2147901 on Oct 05, 2010
I use this with my protein mix and it tastes very good!!
First reviw for this site
Posted by Reviewer2132900 on Jun 04, 2010
Like milk is nice and white and digests just right. I find its sweetness too much to savor, but sprinkle it on breakfast for its flavor.

Bigger scandals ahead
To the editor:
The IRS waste and political abuse scandals are appalling. At the rate of politicization and waste of government, in ten years there may very well be another IRS scandal that will make these scandals appear to be a stroll through the lily field.
The IRS is a redundant revenue collection agency, the individual state have such offices also. Call your congressman and have the IRS core duties contracted out to the individual states and territories. The federal government can work out a formula with each of the 50 states and US territories to collect and forward revenue to the federal treasury using an agreed upon formula. States will have the ability to earn revenue by billing the federal government for tax collection; the federal government may reduce the size of its revenue collection workforce and overhead by more than 95 percent making more funds available for Congress to perform important functions of the federal government.
Complaining and giving a few individuals a forced early federal retirement will not fix the scandal problem; the issues are endemic to the federal revenue collection system. With a small federal revenue code and contracted revenue collection, that professor with dubious credentials cannot influence the lawmakers to force you to eat broccoli twice a week.
