Vatican commissions modern art for Venice Biennale
VATICAN CITY — For most people, the relationship between contemporary art and the Vatican — home of some of the world's greatest old masterpieces — is like oil and water — they just don't mix.
The Vatican's "culture minister," Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, wants to change that perception and so for the first time the Holy See will have its own pavilion this year at the 55th edition of the Venice Biennale, a sacred cow of modern art.
But don't expect anything that looks remotely religious or liturgical at the world-class exhibition, which started in 1895 and takes place every two years in the gardens and in a converted industrial area on the Venice lagoon.
"We are not sending any altar pieces," joked Ravasi, whose formal title is president of the Pontifical Council for Culture.
Instead, Ravasi's department and the Vatican Museums have awarded three contemporary art commissions, handing them out with a theme and permission to let the artists' imaginations run free — with no strings, moral or otherwise, attached.
"They were not given specific themes such as Mary or Jesus but asked to reflect on the first 11 chapters of Genesis because they are essentially a portrait of humanity," Ravasi said in his Vatican office.
Genesis recounts the creation of man and woman, the fall from grace and expulsion from Eden, the killing by Cain of his brother Abel, the Great Flood and the chance for humanity to start anew when the waters receded and the rainbow appeared.
The three commissions were given to Italy's Studio Azzurro cooperative, Australian-born American painter Lawrence Carroll and famed Czech photographer Josef Koudelka, each produced works on the themes of "creation," "uncreation" and "re-creation."
"These are sentiments that can be shared not only by believers, Roman Catholics, but by members of other faiths and non-believers," said Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums.
"There is no person who in his or her lifetime has not experienced high times, times of falling, depression, defeat, and times of having to get back up and start hoping again," he said. "These three elements are universal."
The works have no outwardly religious content. Indeed, they would look more at home in a white-walled gallery in New York's Soho than even the most modern of Catholic churches.
One of the works inspired by the theme of creation is a multi-media work that shows a tangle of outreached hands on video screens while the viewer hears the sounds of children and animals.
Koudelka's 18 photos, some of them as large as 8.5 feet by 3.3 feet shows the destruction brought about by war and environmental neglect.
Koudelka became famous in photography after taking pictures of the Soviet invasion of then-Czechoslovakia in 1968. The negatives were smuggled out to the West and became symbols of resistance. He later fled to the West and joined Magnum Photos.
One of Carroll's works in the re-creation section is a large panel with electrical wires and light bulb sockets, some of them empty and some with light bulbs in them.
"It's vital that we have a dialogue between people and cultures and religions. I think it's great that the Vatican is doing this," Carroll said.
Asked how he felt about being put alongside the some of the great artists the Church has commissioned over the centuries, he said "I'm delighted."
While there are some modern works of religious art in the Vatican Museum, the Vatican is mostly known for its Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and ancient Egyptian and Roman treasures.
Ravasi said he hoped the Vatican's new initiative would be a "seed" for the Church's future collaboration with contemporary artists, reminiscent of the times when it commissioned works from masters such as Michelangelo, Raphael and Giotto.
Ravasi's department in the Vatican has been holding gatherings called "The Courtyard of the Gentiles" to promote dialogue among believers, non-believers, atheists and secular humanists. He said he sees the Church's reaching out to contemporary artists as an extension of this dialogue.
"Art and faith, art and religion, can be very productive," he said.
The cost of the Vatican pavilion at the Biennale, which opens on June 1 and lasts six months, is about $973,700 and is entirely covered by Italian corporate sponsors.

Toccoa Commission Meeting on Budget Today
Toccoa City Commissioners will spend today taking a close look at the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 budget with city staff.
The commission is holding a budget work session starting at 9 a.m. at Toccoa City Hall.
City Manager Billy Morse said the work session is expected to last for much of the day.
"We will have time to talk to each department head about their budget and work through the process to get everybody comfortable with our budget," said Morse.
Morse went on to say that he and city staff have put together an initial proposed budget for the commission to look at during today's work session.
"We feel like we have presented (the commission) with a very conservative and responsible budget," said Morse.
Toccoa City Commissioners must approve a budget for the upcoming fiscal year on or before June 30.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Red Sox defeated the Blue Jays 10-4 in a matinee game on Wednesday. The Sox were led by a strong pitching performance from Jon Lester, and an explosion of offense early in the game.
Similar to last night's game, Brett Lawrie led off with a double to left field. Colby Rasmus followed with a single, scoring Lawrie and giving the Blue Jays the early 1-0 lead. This would be the only time the Blue Jays would lead in the game. Lester was able to record three consecutive outs after the Rasmus single to get out of the inning.
The Red Sox answered back mightily in the bottom of the first inning as Blue Jays starting pitcher Ricky Romero was never able to get it going. Setting the tone for the game, Daniel Nava led off with a walk. Dustin Pedroia then doubled on a line drive to right field, scoring Nava to tie the game at one. David Ortiz then recorded a walk of his own. Cody Ross singled to load the bases, still with no one out. Adrian Gonzalez then reached on an error by Blue Jays' firstbaseman Edwin Encarnarcion, Pedroia and Ortiz scored on the play giving the Sox the 3-1 lead. Will Middlebrooks grounded out to Brett Lawrie, but Ross scored on the play pushing the score to 4-1. Mike Aviles then lined a ball off of Lawrie and into left field, scoring Gonzalez in the process making the score 5-1. Aviles then stole second and scored on a Darnell McDonald single to to center. Romero was finally able to get out of the inning, but not after surrendering six runs.
Lester looked strong in today's game, and recorded a smooth one, two, three inning in the top of the second. The Red Sox continued to take advantage of Romero's lack of accuracy, as Ortiz and Ross recorded back-to-back walks. Adrian Gonzalez roped a hard ground ball single to right field, which scored Ortiz and pushed the score to 7-1.
The Blue Jays were able to disrupt Lester's strong outing, but only slightly as Jose Bautista led off the fourth inning with a monstrous homerun over the Green Monster. The Red Sox would answer right back in the bottom of the fourth inning. Ortiz led off the inning with another walk, and Cody Ross followed that with a double off the Monster in left. Jesse Chavez came into replace Romero at this point. Adrian Gonzalez then lofted a single to left field, scoring Ortiz. Mike Aviles then doubled to center field, scoring Ross and making the score 9-2. The Red Sox tacked on one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning as David Ortiz blasted his 21st homerun of the year, and 399th of his career, over the bullpen, giving the Sox the 10-2 score.
After two quick outs in the top of the sixth inning, Jose Bautista doubled to right field. Edwin Encarnarcion then launched a homerun of his own over the Monster in left, making the score 10-4. Clayton Mortensen came on in relief in the ninth inning to close the game out, and received some defensive help from Darnell McDonald as he robbed Kelly Johnson of a sure homerun. The Red Sox finished up their homestand with a record of 7-2, and get ready to head out to Seattle for a four game series with the Mariners.
Jon Lester has pitched well recently, but has not been getting the run support he needed. Luckily for him and the Red Sox, that was not the case today. The Sox offense exploded for 10 runs, seven of which came in the first two innings. The early run support allowed Lester to settle in and trust his pitches en route to his fifth win of the season. Today Lester went seven strong innings, allowing seven hits, four earned runs, walked no one, and struck out four. He showed excellent command of his fastball and cutter, which allowed him to dictate the pace of the game throughout.
David Ortiz has been an incredible part of the Red Sox offense in his career in Boston, but none more so than this year. In a season where the team struggled mightily in the first two months, Ortiz has been a consistent bright spot. Today was no different. He walked three times and launched a homerun. That homerun now brings him within one of 400 for his career. While Pedroia has battled injuries, and Gonzalez has struggled to find his stride, Ortiz has put the Sox offense on his back. So far this season he has 21 homeruns, a batting average of .309, and 53 runs batted in. The thought of the rest of the offense catching up to the pace Ortiz has set, makes the Red Sox a threat as the second half of the season approaches.

Bio-Sensing Book Changes Temperature Based On The Plot [Video]
Sensory Fiction consists of a connected book and a wearable piece, both of which are designed to help the reader experience the main character's emotions.
When reading a good book, you are whisked away into a fictional world, you empathise with characters and start to feel how they feel. Sensory Fiction explores this dynamic by creating new ways of 'feeling' fiction through technology and sensors that vibrate and change temperature in line with the plot.
Sensory Fiction is part of the coursework for the MIT Media Lab class Science Fiction to Science Fabrication, which focuses on creating functional prototypes inspired by science fiction fantasies. The set up involves a book cover that has LED lights that change according to the book's mood, as well as a wearable device that changes temperature, vibrations and pressure as the reader turns the page.
The project creators, students write on the page:
Traditionally, fiction creates and induces emotions and empathy through words and images. By using a combination of networked sensors and actuators, the Sensory Fiction author is provided with new means of conveying plot, mood, and emotion while still allowing space for the reader's imagination. These tools can be wielded to create an immersive storytelling experience tailored to the reader.
Watch below to see Sensory Fiction at work.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.
I certainly understand your concern. For the court to amend a child support agreement, there needs to be good cause shown by the moving party. The court will want to see a substantial change in circumstances, since the support was previously ordered and the moving party to show a basis for the amendment/modification/termination. The fact that a parent does not want to pay anymore, is not a legal basis and the fact that his income has only increased, would be something that would only count against him. Moreover, if he has failed to pay medical/dental insurance as ordered, he could be held in contempt of court and the other parent, could bring this matter in front of the Judge. If he was to do this, you could file a response and object to it and also may consider filing a motion to hold him in contempt, for not paying as ordered.

Greenville softball team takes two from Central Montcalm
STANTON — Greenville's softball team found the perfect tonic to get into the win column.
The Yellow Jackets beat the Central Montcalm Green Hornets in a doubleheader Friday, winning 17-6 and 10-9.
In the first game, the Hornets (6-15) tagged Greenville pitcher Lexii Canterbury for six runs in the first inning. But that was all they got the rest of the game.
"Lexii was frustrated," Greenville co-coach Jen Bowen said. "We made some adjustments with Lexii and she never gave up another run after that."
Central coach Jason Johnson wasn't sure why his team stopped hitting after the first inning.
"I don't know if she (Canterbury) made an adjustment," he said. "We're so streaky at the plate. When one hits we all hit and when one doesn't hit we all don't hit."
Canterbury got the win despite allowing 11 hits. Michaela Crooks was hit with the loss after going the first 2 2-3 innings and scattered eight hits and three walks without a strikeout.
Alyssa Canterbury and Liz Niemiec had three hits each for the Jackets. Harleigh Lewis, Kae Page, Nikota Howe and Lexii Canterbury had two each. One of Howe's hits was a home run.
Molly Buskirk had three hits and Rylee Davis two for Central.
Greenville (9-6) needed a game-winning hit from Lewis to get the win the second game.
"We made a pitching change in the fourth inning and Haley (Hollenbeck) shut them down the rest of the game," Johnson said.
"We scratched our runs out in the course of five different innings. We got one or two here or there," Bowen said.
Alyssa Canterbury got the win in the nightcap, going all seven innings and allowing 10 hits while striking out seven.
Hollenbeck went three innings, allowed two hits and two walks with a strikeout.
Lewis and Beth Gantz each had three hits, and Lexii Canterbury, Page and Howe had two each. Howe also homered in this game.
"Very happy with Nikota Howe's hitting and her leadership on the field," Bowen said.
The Hornets got two hits each from Crooks, Buskirk and Maddie Christensen. Kortney McKeown homered for Central.
The Yellow Jackets will play in a tournament in Allendale today while Central Montcalm hosts Holton Tuesday.

"India's 2011 Census reveals a serious problem: a big decline in the number of girls younger than 7 years old, a sign that the practice of aborting female fetuses may be on the rise."
Half a cent's worth.
You see, while most of us may think this is unconscionable, if you come to think of it, it may very well be a blessing in disguise.
We all know that, culturally, India has an endemic problem with poverty and we all shake our heads in utter disgust when we see pictures on major TV channels, and we think they do this on purpose, when their "photo-journalists" point their cams to things we would rather do without. We also see images of million-rupee marriage cerimonies and islands of progress where people are multilingual and are bedecked in golden jewellery. Unfathomable.
Also, on this very subject, one Indian politician, commenting on this worrisome trend, is quoted as saying that in the future, if you don't stop the offing of girls, "there will be no girls to marry and we'll all become gays." All very well, we say. We live in a modern world, where even in Brazil, top courts are now recognizing same-sex relationships. I know most of you are in the U.S. and you are hopscotching through the issue of same-sex civil unions and all...
For most of you out there, it is the same discourse we hear in more conservative niches in our own societies where "ideologies" hold sway. We could make the case that education education education would turn-change the wheels of fate...
There's got to be a beginning somewhere.

I did not get on the fish today that I needed. It doesn't look like I'm going to make the cut.
I'm writing this one before the weigh-in is official. If things change I'll add a little something at the end. But for now I think it'll work best if I tell you how I feel right now. Sometimes that's the right way to tell a story — raw, unvarnished and without the benefit of hindsight.
Today wasn't really a bad day. It just wasn't good enough. I had to make two tough decisions early. I'll tell you about them now. We'll see how they work out after all the weights are in and are official.
I hooked two keepers in the tongue this morning. I was afraid they'd die and I wouldn't be able to cull them later. (For those of you who don't know, you can't cull a dead fish.) I thought I'd be able to catch some bigger ones later this afternoon. I didn't want to take a chance on not being allowed to upgrade.
I'm guessing they might have given me a couple of extra pounds, but you never know for sure. It'll definitely hurt if it looks like they'd have put me above the cut, but this is a professional sport. You have to make decisions. We'll see in a little while.
It's tough. I'll not deny that. This is not the ending I wished for…
No matter all of that, this has been a wonderful Classic. I was told that there was something like 4,500 people at the launch this morning. That's a heck of a lot of people to get up early in the morning to watch a bunch of bass boats leave the ramp.
We — all the anglers — appreciate it, or at least all the ones I've talked to anyway. Knowing that the crowd is behind you, and that they respect what you do, makes all the difference in the world. It creates a sense of pride that's hard to describe.
This area of Alabama is where it's at when it comes to bass fishing, and we showed that in no uncertain terms over the last couple of days. I couldn't be prouder to be a resident of Guntersville and a near resident of Birmingham.
On behalf of myself, Holly, the kids and everyone in our family I want to say thanks. It couldn't have been any better. We all hope tomorrow that Lake Guntersville shows everyone what big sacks of bass look like. I know she's capable.
I don't know what to tell you about tomorrow. I'm being pulled in 500 different directions. I have family responsibilities, old friends and colleagues I haven't seen in 20 years and sponsors at the EXPO. I'll do the best I can to visit with everyone.
Final Note: It's in the books. My cull decision didn't make any difference. I missed the cut. Congratulations to all they guys who did make it, and I'll see everyone somewhere around this great country of ours.

Chicken Skewers for July 4th!
This weekend is shaping up to be loaded with lots of fun in the sun as we celebrate our Independence day once again… As you all furiously go about planning your holiday menus, here is a quick idea that you may want to consider, as it is a nice addition to the usual picnic and grilling suspects that we often find here in Hawaii.
Instead of serving a whole lot of shoyu marinated items, try this chicken skewer recipe that is marinated in some other goodies. The skewers will come out nice and juicy, and full of flavor, but will also be neutral enough to be served in chicken tacos, on Caesar salads, maybe with some Naan bread and yogurt sauce, or even with rice pilaf.
I also use the marinade on pork and whole chicken breasts and thighs… Come to think of it, use it on swordfish too.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1 inch cubes
1/3 cup olive oil
3 TBS red or white wine vinegar (not distilled vinegar)
1 TBS salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp fresh garlic, chopped
3 TBS chopped fresh parsley
1 TBS Dijon Mustard
Combine all the ingredients and let marinate overnight. Make skewers and grill on medium high heat for about 5-6 minutes.
Note: While chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water.
Try this and you'll be a hero…Trust me… it Rocks!
PS….should you get the sudden urge to add veggies to the mix, knock yourself out.

Try our new items: Shrimp Ceviche & Salmon Poke!

Eat Local Challenge
Well, it's that time to challenge ourselves to eating 100% local again! I don't know about you, but I found the 2010 Kanu Hawaii Eat Local Challenge to be fun and really enlightening. As you may recall, last year I wrote recipes that were mostly local, but this year, I thought that some of you may want to step it up a notch and decide to go 100% local.
Chinese Style Pork Hash Recipe
I was browsing this week's ad and something caught my eye... ground pork. My mouth immediately started watering when I started to think about making some pork hash for dinner.
Here's my quick recipe that I'm making this weekend!
1.5 lb. ground pork
1 large egg
1 can chopped water chestnuts
1/4 cup sliced green onions

This weekend is shaping up to be loaded with lots of fun in the sun as we celebrate our Independence day once again… As you all furiously go about planning your holiday menus, here is a quick idea that you may want to consider, as it is a nice addition to the usual picnic and grilling suspects that we often find here in Hawaii.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey! I'm a newbie zinester who likes to make minizines purely out of my photos- no text yet. I just wondered if there's anyone else who makes zines about their photos or other people's? I'd love to trade!

El Cortijo de los Caballos is a private villa near Marbella available to rent for weddings, holidays and other special occasions.
El Cortijo de los Caballos is a rare gem being one of the very few authentic Cortijos left in the Marbella area and is situated in a quiet valley near to the picturesque white village of Benahavis and 10 minutes from Marbella and Puerto Banus, it is also just 1 kilometre from the main road and less than 5 minute drive to the beautiful beaches of the Costa Del Sol.
Recently renovated yet retaining all of its original charm the property resembles a tropical oasis with its numerous palm trees and flower beds, lawned terraces and romantic shaded courtyards. Its secluded location makes it possible to truly escape the crowds at this relaxing and tranquil retreat whilst still being able to enjoy the nightlife of Puerto Banus and Marbella.
El Cortijo de los Caballos is ideal for use as a private wedding venue, private parties, creative writing & painting courses, seminars and mind, body & soul retreats as well as a private rental for large groups of family or friends who wish to holiday together whilst still retaining a lot of privacy.
A walk through "El Cortijo de los Caballos" by Evergreen Producciones.
Formerly an equestrian centre, this stunning Cortijo has since been sympathetically converted into a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom Cottage and 11 Casitas with self catering facilities and private terraces or gardens. The Cortijo sleeps 28 adults plus children and comes with all the following facilities:
The property is very suitable for families with young children or groups of women, as access to the property is via an electric coded gate which opens to a private car park and closes automatically behind you after one minute. The head entrance can be locked and each guest has a key to the main door. No strangers can just walk on to the premises without being noticed or without having the code, making the property a very secure and safe environment for those staying. In addition there is staff on site 24 hours and the premises are regularely checked and the pool and Jacuzzi kept in good working order.
The large layered swimming pool makes it easy for children to play in the shallow end whilst the parents keep an eye on them from the adjacent lawn. It is also suitable for those with a fear of water and/or unable to swim as there is a fixed table in the undeep end which gives them the opportunity to keep their feet cool without having to go all the way in. Although not perfect, it would be possible for people with a slight disability or those who are partially bound to a wheelchair to stay at the Cortijo as most of the property is ground floor.
Malaga Airport 40 mins - Gibraltar Airport 40 mins.

Read books and forums on the subject. You will learn actual encounters people have had and get advice, most of it even good advice.
Practice, practice practice.
I just had a nap during which I dreamed about the subject. In the dream I was looking into a store and saw a guy suddenly walk up and slug someone several times and run out another door. My first thought was to chase. My second was when what I learned kicked in. I'm not a Cop. I have no authority. Much as I loath that sort of person my immersion in the topic kicked in and even in a dream I did the right thing. Kind of surprising really, but good.
Welcome to the board!
First of course is to try to avoid lethal confrontation at all costs. I avoid "questionable" areas and people whenever possible. If unable to avoid,try to de escalate and/or get clear of the area. If not able to get out of the situation, use any means available to protect myself short of lethal force if possible. If no other option is left available to me apply what force is necessary to neutralize the threat. As soon as it is safe call 9-1-1.
My advice is to read the TX laws for yourself, and not just the ones in the booklet they give you. It will help them become second nature for you. Besides that, keep cool, stay aware, and respond; don't react.
Welcome to the forums. There's a ton of info here.
CCW on my person everywhere it's not expressly forbidden by the conditions of my permit. Concealed means CONCEALED...as in, hopefully, no one except me ever has the need to know. Avoid, apologise, walk away, run away, run away & hide, do EVERYTHING in my power to prevent circumstances developing into my having no other reasonable choice to draw my handgun. At that point, confident that I have exhausted all other options, I am (even now) mentally prepared to protect myself & my family in the gravest extreme.
Welcome to the Forum!
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Good place to ask that question.......actually it's a pretty giant question because of the many branches the answer could take. Lot's of good stuff to read here, and don't overlook the "stickies" at the top of the threads.
I read this quote on one of these forums somewhere. "Anytime you carry a gun in public you are walking on thin ice....as soon as you pull that gun, you've just started hopping on that thin ice".
For some quick advice I'd say to read, study, and/or buy a lethal force DVD, and other related info. Use patience, restraint and wisdom as you CCW. I remember a little booklet that came with my FLA CHL license, and it reminded me that the CHL doesn't make me a law enforcement officer or even a good samaritan. It doesn't authorize me to use that weapon, it only authorizes me to carry it concealed. The use of deadly force laws are already in place, and they vary somewhat from state to state. Be sure to read and clearly understand your applicable Texas laws.
Good luck and be careful by all means
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Welcome to the best firearms discussion forum on the Net.
0. I always have a firearm on me (or if I am in bed, within reach).
1. I don't go where I would expect to need a firearm for self-defense.
2. If I see a threat materializing at a distance, I depart the scene ASAP.
3. If someone, too close to escape from, outside my domicile were to point a firearm or a knife at me, I assume he will shoot or stab me. I would move, draw, and shoot; if he runs away or discards his weapon before I can line up and fire, I don't shoot. Otherwise, drawing and shooting are parts of a single action--I wouldn't display my firearm hoping the aggressor will back down, nor would I warn.
4. If someone were to intrude into my domicile, my state law allows me to assume he is a lethal threat. I shoot, period.
That's my general plan; I know it doesn't cover every possible situation, like if a dozen guys in wheelchairs armed with baseball bats attack me on the street, etc.
All the plans above that mention getting away from the "event" is best, learn from that advice..as my instructor once told me, "once you fire that round, it's not over, it's just begining for you!"

About the same as everyone else here. Don't go near it if I can help it, retreat if possible, de-escalate if need be. Even if all that fails a hand on a holstered gun is hopefully enough to end the situation, present it if that fails, shoot to center of mass until the threat is stopped if I have no other option while giving stern verbal commands to get away all the while.
edit: of course hand on the gun and presenting would only be an option in some situations. Warning the bad guy that you have a gun could cost you your life.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Review of CatCo charters in BVI
This will be a short and to the point version of CatCo Charters (www.catamarans.com) out of Nanny Cay on Tortola. I will do an extensive review with pictures online later this week.
We bareboat chartered the Castellina, a 2004 Lagoon 440 from December 14-22nd 2006. I worked with JoAnn from CatCo almost a year in advance after researching and getting quotes from all the major charter companies. She was very easy to work with, and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the charter and the area.
We arrived a day early for our stay-aboard, which I would advise anyone to do. The Castellina was very presentable and everyone was pleased with the overall condition of this sailboat. Since we arrived after hours, no one was there to meet us at the sailboat, but we quickly settled in and waited for the rest of our charter members to arrive.
The following day we awaited our supplies from Bobby's
and the captain which we elected to have for one day just to get us better acquainted with the sailboat. Due to a glitch by Bobby's (forgot? the beer) and a captain booking mistake, we didn't get out of Nanny Cay until noon. The afternoon was fantastic with many questions answered (and a 14-18 knot wind to make us smile).
A few of us didn't have complete snorkel sets, so we checked out some of the gear CatCo lets you use. As a note, they are switching to FINS ONLY as use/misuse/etc costs too much. We managed to find everything we needed and packed up the sailboat.
One thing we didn't do because of time, was to get shown around the Castellina by CatCo staff even though our captain had been on hundreds of charters and knew the boat backwards and forwards. I think if I had to do this again, I would have requested this review much earlier in the morning.
Our captain showed us the ropes for the afternoon. We were very pleased by his knowledge, insight, and friendliness.
There were a couple of minor issues over the week which detracted from the experience. One of the tramps was a little torn and even though we did an impromptu fix, I was always scared of it. The VHF radio was hard to hear (speaker issue?), and we weren't told to flush the heads for 10+ seconds, so some issues presented themselves. To CatCo's credit, when we came back in at the end of our charter, they said no matter where we were, they would have come out and fixed whatever issues we had if we called in. (This goes back to the checkout by CatCo).
LOTS of positives. The Castellina sailed wonderfully, we slept well, the fridges/freezers worked well, ropes and sails were in good order, the engines and generator always fired right up and worked well.
I give all the CatCo staff high marks. We had a great value, and a great time. I will most certainly charter with CatCo again.

3 Super Cool Michele Torr Videos

Just found these...awesome!
Michele Torr (64) "C'est arrive comme ca" video by bultofrance
Michele Torr 1965 La Grande Chanson (live) video by valetdecoeurs
Michele Torr Les Amoreux [1973] Reworked video by PTVictor
....the second one is hilarious! The dancers behind her...too funny.
#2 Jan 23, 2013
I like the ones of hers in the 1960's best, but that one in 1973 is quite nice and is still in black and white. Great find today...love these videos--had been viewing the same one's of hers for past 2-3 years.
#3 Jan 23, 2013
This is really funny too...

YouTube, bix.
Just found these also...
Excellent, excellent video by Michele Torr:
"La Grande Chanson 1965 Sequence Discorama" video by Franck Guilpan
And this one goes with her others "Only You" and "Mais La Vie C'est La Vie"...
"Il Faut Savoir"
all three videos are by inachansons--have always loved her "Only You" video.
#7 Feb 12, 2013
Crazy. There is another "Betty Curtis Invece No" video by maggio1972. The one I've ben viewing for past three years or so runs for 3:12; this other one (also by maggio1971) runs for 3:16. It's a slightly different take of her 1965 San Remo performance; includes the backup singers and has a great shot of Betty Curtis right at the end as it then shows light streaming through a window (similar to Ornella Vanoni San Remo performance of Abbraciami Forte [sp.?]--that one too has a shot of Ornella Vanoni and the light from a window streaming through the smoky haze).
#8 Feb 12, 2013
Crazier still....A different perfromance at San Remo by Claudia Mori is now available. Have viewed the other one for quite some time, but this one has Claudia Mori appear as the second of three performances (@5:05 she is announced and speaks a bit before singing). Love both versions. Here it is:
Claudia Mori "Chi non lavora non fa L'amore"
video by SAMA45100
The crowd of photographers in the galley are pretty funny too--they're all there for Claudia Mori.
#9 Feb 13, 2013
Here is a new and improved video of an all-time favorite by Gigliola Cinquetti (the picture is much clearer than the other versions):
Gigliola Cinquetti "Le Coeur Trop Tendre" (16:9)
video by Elodie Guerandet
#10 Feb 13, 2013
Archive video showing Cocki Mazzetti:
"Un burlamucco per tutti" video by CinecittaLuce
I don't know what she says but it's fun to see her on there. Love Cocki Mazzetti "Qui Sotto il cielo di Capri"--it's my favorite album cover too.

What is servile work?
Another post of mine reminded me of this question that I have long wondered about. We are required to abstain from servile work on Sundays and holydays of obligation. This was established when virtually all work was manual labor. That is no longer the case. Given that, I'll ask whether my interpretation of servile work is correct. Here it is: I believe that "servile work" means not working for somebody (i.e. not working as a servant, hence the term "servile".) I have a desk job, and in accord with this belief, I take vacation time on all holydays of obligation and will not come in to work on Sunday. I am fortunate in that my bosses understand this as an obligation of my faith (and vacation time is ours to use when and as we choose.) However, because I sit at a desk / computer all week, I believe that it is all right to do lawn work,weed, light pruning, etc. on Sunday. Sometimes my wife comes out and we work together and we've even made it a family project. To me, this is genuinely refreshing and relaxing (much better than all of us watching TV on the couch), and I take a great deal of pride in a mission accomplished. Is my interpretation correct?

In my understanding, this would still be servile. I'll see if I can go find a resource, but I recall the explanation I was given saying something to this effect: "whether one enjoys the work makes no difference, it is still servile and to be avoided".
My understanding right now is that servile means work done with you hands: farming, being a mechanic, construction, lumber jack, fisherman, assembly line worker, etc...
Exceptions are made for public services: so firemen, police, doctors, EMT's, utility workers, and slightly suprisingly gas station workers, piolts, and all much of the resturant and transportation industry.

Re: What is servile work?
I take notes on semons that I hear sometimes, here is a selection of my notes from a sermon on keeping holy the Sabbath: (I put quotes where I'm directly quoting him and double quotes where he's quoting another person)
Keeping Holy the Sabbath
1. Going to Mass
2. Not doing any unnecessary servile work.
"What is Servile Work?
The sort of work traditionally done be manual laborers. Includes: plowing, drilling, digging seed, gardening, lawn mowing, mechanicing, welding, loading, plastering, house painting, folding laundry, ironing, or sowing."
Servile work subjective or objective?
"Moral Theologian Davis, Servile work may not be done without necessity for pleasure or recreation. It remains servile, whatever the motive may be, even if no wager are taken for it."
"St. Alphonsus, The intention of the worker is not able to change one kind of work into another."
"St. Alphonsus additionally points out that if one does more than 2 to 2.5 hours of unnecessary servile work on a Sunday or Holy day of Obligation he is guilty of mortal sin."
"Why does God forbid servile work on the Sabbath?
Simply so we may relax, read good spiritual books, and recuperate both body and soul that we may better serve Him and our neighbor."
"What about Commerce?
Things like going to the grocery and the mall is forbidden.
However, on special occasions and not as a general rule, people may sell wares on Sunday because of special business opportunities.
For example; A vendor capitalizing on a certain fair, festival, rodeo, or opportunity not normally available.
Also going to a restaurant or a café is okay. As is buying gas."
"What work is okay?
What used to be called Liberal Works.
Things like singing, reading, studying, writing, painting.
Also Common Work which all classes of men do.
This would include traveling and preparing meals."
"Also necessary servile work, such as feeding livestock, changing a flat tire, and setting up the alter are permitted.
Necessary servile work is also permitted in police, firemen, medical personnel, taxis, gas stations, restaurants.
Also playing at attending sporting events or going hunting are both fine, as long as they are kept with the proper perspective of the Lords day and not seen as more important than the Lord or His Mass."
End of Sermon Notes.
Oh, I don't know who Moral Theologian Davis is, sorry. Hope this gives some direction, I've found Father's words useful.

Re: What is servile work?
From the
Baltimore Catechism
Q. 1254. From what do servile works derive their name?
A. Servile works derive their name from the fact that such works were formerly done by slaves. Therefore, reading, writing, studying and, in general, all works that slaves did not perform are not considered servile works.
I'm not sure I agree with this because studying, as by a full-time student, can be mentally exhaustive and detract from observing the Lord's day.

Whoever "Moral Theologian Davis" is or was, it's a little hard to accept that it's OK to go out and kill animals, but sinful to stay in your own back yard and weed the cucumber patch as relaxation.
I have also never seen the "servile work" rule applied to Holy Days of Obligation. Most of the (few remaining) Holy Days in the U.S. are regular work days. I don't recall ever hearing that going to your regular job on a Holy Day is mortally sinful, despite what St. Alphonsus is quoted as teaching (the "2.5 hour rule") -- assuming your Mass obligation is met. I do not believe the Church teaches this.
The idea that "setting up the altar" would even be remotely considered "servile work" (but permitted !) is so far over the top that I think that his whole line of reasoning is suspect.

Re: What is servile work?
Also, what happens if your work is done for charity? For example, volunteering to work in the kitchens, make beds, clean up, etc. for a night shelter. People are still homeless on a Sunday, and still need food and shelter.
The 2.5 hour rule sounds very legalistic. I've heard that there was a period of really strict legalism about the Sunday obligation around the 17th-18th century, but that it was later relaxed, maybe this comes from there. I'm not sure this has ever been the official teaching of the Church.
Smber2c, where do you go to mass? It sounds like your priest is great at expounding Church teaching, and doesn't pull his punches, though some of it sounds a tad legalistic.

Re: What is servile work?
Also going to a restaurant or a café is okay.
But then you're making others serve you. Isn't that also sinful, because you're making them do servile work on Sunday?
I'd heard it was five hours, btw...

Re: What is servile work?
I have been employed by the Church and Father had no qualm's on having me make sure the Church was fit for the parishioners. The temperature correct; the lighting all working; the sidewalk swept; the snow shoveled; the parking lot tidy; etc... all before I went to Mass myself. (And some times during if something was not just right and he saw me in the pew).
And isn't a Priest himself doing his work (saying Mass) on those same Holy Days?
So, where does this stand today?

Re: What is servile work?
I find all this getting a bit hair-splitting. And am especially annoyed by the arbitrariness of such '2.5 hour rules' or '5 hour rules' or what have you, which clearly have come from absolutely nowhere other than thin air.
I usually do paid work on Sundays, maybe four or five hours. I do so because I have bills and debts to pay, and I refuse to believe that God would prefer that I didn't meet those obligations when I am able to. I am positive it would instead be a serious sin to NOT work and pay those bills and debts when I have the capacity, and I would work a full day Sunday if my obligations were greater.
Sometimes I shop, not for recreation or for non-essentials like clothes or anything, but for food. How is putting food on my table a sin, even if I could possibly (at greater cost of time and effort, mind) do so on another day. And why is shopping for groceries a problem when vooking the same groceries, or worse still going to a restaurant or cafe to eat, wouldn't be?
It boggles the mind.
My Lord, He died for a kingdom
To redeem the hearts of men
Now my people don't you weep
He is risen from His sleep
He lives again! Alleluia!
Sing Alleluia, the Lord is risen
He is risen indeed, Alleluia!
Viva il Papa!

Re: What is servile work?
As a formerly longtime-lapsed Catholic, I just became aware of this "servile work" issue while listening to Father Corapi's lecture on how to make a good confession.
It really never occurred to me that shopping on a Sunday is a sin! However, based on the standard being put forth here, I do think that either hunting animals or mowing the back lawn are equally qualified as servile work. I have done both in the past.

Re: What is servile work?
So as we head into Lent, and many will be going to Confession for the first time in awhile, I thought it would be appropriate to dig this up. I typically don't like to resurrect an old thread, but there isn't anything in here that is particularly time sensitive and could be dated.
I had a very productive Sunday - I did a lot of stuff around the house, and prepared us for the week ahead. Laundry, cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, and cleaning my home office. By doing these things I am able to get to Mass during the week and to volunteer my time at a Catholic non-profit, and to work on my prayer time. Not to mention I enjoy the sense of accomplishment of taking care of my husband by keeping the house tidy - it's not entirely "work" to me. And in between chores I worked on learning how to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and we went to Mass.
So - I guess I need to go to Confession now. Right?

Re: What is servile work?
Here is one definition:
Of course it is Sunday..the Lords Day for Christians....not the Sabbath....which is Saturday...
from the Catechism 2042 The first precept ("You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor") requires the faithful to sanctify the day commemorating the Resurrection of the Lord as well as the principal liturgical feasts honoring the mysteries of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the saints; in the first place, by participating in the Eucharistic celebration, in which the Christian community is gathered, and by resting from those works and activities which could impede such a sanctification of these days.82
2184 Just as God "rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done,"121 human life has a rhythm of work and rest. The institution of the Lord's Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural, social, and religious lives.122
2185 On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body.123 Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest. The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health.
also read this whole thing from the Catechism;

Re: What is servile work?
and read this from;
Pope Benedict XVI:
Iuxta dominicam viventes living in accordance with the Lord's Day
72. From the beginning Christians were clearly conscious of this radical newness which the Eucharist brings to human life. The faithful immediately perceived the profound influence of the eucharistic celebration on their manner of life. Saint Ignatius of Antioch expressed this truth when he called Christians "those who have attained a new hope," and described them as "those living in accordance with the Lord's Day" (iuxta dominicam viventes). (204) This phrase of the great Antiochene martyr highlights the connection between the reality of the Eucharist and everyday Christian life. The Christians' customary practice of gathering on the first day after the Sabbath to celebrate the resurrection of Christ according to the account of Saint Justin Martyr(205) is also what defines the form of a life renewed by an encounter with Christ. Saint Ignatius' phrase "living in accordance with the Lord's Day" also emphasizes that this holy day becomes paradigmatic for every other day of the week. Indeed, it is defined by something more than the simple suspension of one's ordinary activities, a sort of parenthesis in one's usual daily rhythm. Christians have always experienced this day as the first day of the week, since it commemorates the radical newness brought by Christ. Sunday is thus the day when Christians rediscover the eucharistic form which their lives are meant to have. "Living in accordance with the Lord's Day" means living in the awareness of the liberation brought by Christ and making our lives a constant self-offering to God, so that his victory may be fully revealed to all humanity through a profoundly renewed existence.
Living the Sunday obligation
73. Conscious of this new vital principle which the Eucharist imparts to the Christian, the Synod Fathers reaffirmed the importance of the Sunday obligation for all the faithful, viewing it as a wellspring of authentic freedom enabling them to live each day in accordance with what they celebrated on "the Lord's Day." The life of faith is endangered when we lose the desire to share in the celebration of the Eucharist and its commemoration of the paschal victory. Participating in the Sunday liturgical assembly with all our brothers and sisters, with whom we form one body in Jesus Christ, is demanded by our Christian conscience and at the same time it forms that conscience. To lose a sense of Sunday as the Lord's Day, a day to be sanctified, is symptomatic of the loss of an authentic sense of Christian freedom, the freedom of the children of God. (206) Here some observations made by my venerable predecessor John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter Dies Domini (207) continue to have great value. Speaking of the various dimensions of the Christian celebration of Sunday, he said that it is Dies Domini with regard to the work of creation, Dies Christi as the day of the new creation and the Risen Lord's gift of the Holy Spirit, Dies Ecclesiae as the day on which the Christian community gathers for the celebration, and Dies hominis as the day of joy, rest and fraternal charity.
Sunday thus appears as the primordial holy day, when all believers, wherever they are found, can become heralds and guardians of the true meaning of time. It gives rise to the Christian meaning of life and a new way of experiencing time, relationships, work, life and death. On the Lord's Day, then, it is fitting that Church groups should organize, around Sunday Mass, the activities of the Christian community: social gatherings, programmes for the faith formation of children, young people and adults, pilgrimages, charitable works, and different moments of prayer. For the sake of these important values while recognizing that Saturday evening, beginning with First Vespers, is already a part of Sunday and a time when the Sunday obligation can be fulfilled we need to remember that it is Sunday itself that is meant to be kept holy, lest it end up as a day "empty of God." (208)
The meaning of rest and of work
74. Finally, it is particularly urgent nowadays to remember that the day of the Lord is also a day of rest from work. It is greatly to be hoped that this fact will also be recognized by civil society, so that individuals can be permitted to refrain from work without being penalized. Christians, not without reference to the meaning of the Sabbath in the Jewish tradition, have seen in the Lord's Day a day of rest from their daily exertions. This is highly significant, for it relativizes work and directs it to the person: work is for man and not man for work. It is easy to see how this actually protects men and women, emancipating them from a possible form of enslavement. As I have had occasion to say, "work is of fundamental importance to the fulfilment of the human being and to the development of society. Thus, it must always be organized and carried out with full respect for human dignity and must always serve the common good. At the same time, it is indispensable that people not allow themselves to be enslaved by work or to idolize it, claiming to find in it the ultimate and definitive meaning of life." (209) It is on the day consecrated to God that men and women come to understand the meaning of their lives and also of their work. (210)

Re: What is servile work?
Thank you Bookcat. This was really very informative and a good learning experience for me. I clearly did not conduct myself appropriately, this weekend or in the past, according to all the documentation you provided.
You know - for me anyway - it's just so hard to NOT work around the house when I have a day away from my paying job. As a working woman it is often difficult to balance work and life, and typically the paying job comes first during the week (with respect to where the hours go) and life has to catch up on the weekends.
I think a good thing for me to try to focus on this Lent is how I manage that time SO I can properly observe a day of rest. Not just from doing things, but spending the time appropriately in worship and prayer.
This in particular spoke to me:
On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body.123 Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest.
The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health.
Thanks again!

/// Google Killing Off a Few More Products in Some Late Fall Spring Cleaning
Google said on Friday it has a little more spring cleaning to do, announcing it would kill off several more products beyond those put on the chopping block in July . The latest crop of products slated for extinction includes AdSense for RSS news feeds, reward "badges" in Google News and a service that let people upload their own photo to use as a background for Google.com searches. Google also is tweaking how much storage it allots to both free and paid Google Drive accounts. In the past users could get 5GB on the storage service and another 5GB for Picasa photos. Now both will come from the same account. Leaving aside the question of whether late September qualifies as spring cleaning, the regular pruning of less popular products would seem to allow the company an opportunity to make sure it doesn't get spread too thin. Google said that with the latest list, it will have gotten rid of some 60 services since the cleaning started last fall. Products that have gotten the ax over the last year include iGoogle, Google Desktop and Fast Flip. "Technology offers so many opportunities to help improve users' lives," Google said in its blog post announcing the changes

Names for these characters?
I'm writing a story about an 11 year old girl with three older brothers. The story centers around Character 1 being a model for Character 4 in his photography class. They all have straight brown hair and brown eyes with darkish skin. Here are the characters.
Character 1: She's the main character and she's 11. She's spunky and sassy and really funny. Her hair is down to the middle of her back and she's always pushing it out of her eyes. She's not exactly a tomboy but she's not a girly girl either. She hates Character 2 to tease her and she and Character 4 have a special bond.
Names for her: Kaia's the top choice and that's who she is right now. Before that she was Harper and at the beginning she was Kennedy. I'd like a name with a little bit of a hard sound. K's and D's are good in the name.
Character 2: He's fourteen and thinks he's super cool. He's always teasing his little sister, and getting in trouble with Character 4. He's also very protective of Character 1 though.
Names for him: Levi is my top but I really like Luke and Lucas too.
Character 3: He's sixteen and always on the computer or on his phone. He's described by Character 1 as being "Like, totally emo" although he doesn't really care.
Names for him: Owen is nice and I kind of like Tyler too. Hunter was originally his name but I changed it to Owen.
Character 4: Very protective of Character 1 and loves her to pieces. He also loves photography and Character 1 is his "model" because he thinks it's cute.
Names for him: Right now his name is Sean, but it was Liam.
Any name suggestions are appreciated! I'd love anything you have to offer, it doesn't have to be from my list.leah christine

DIY: Changing Xenon Bulbs on 04+ coupe
I made a video on how to take the bulb out and put it back in for the facelifted coupe for another member here. Figured I might as well post it. Vid is like 5 minutes so bear with me lol.
Just a note, its very easy to remove the windshield washer fluid container. (You dont need to empty it either) Its just one screw holding it on, and a couple sensor plugs. It makes it 10x easier to work on the passenger side.
Also, its good practice to disconnect your battery before messing with any electronics in there.
On my 05 ZHP my Ignitor looks alot different. It has a Metal Housing...I will have to take a pic of it...
Thanks so much. This is a great help. You would not believe the labor a dealer wants to do this. They will charge 100 bucks to change a light bulb....LOL. Plus if you buy lights from a dealer...OMG!!!! They tried to charge my friend 800 dollars for 2 new D2R bulbs on his Lexus. I imagine small fingers on the passenger side would help. Thanks again sillieidiot for taking the time to make the video. Also TheCarLessDriven....good tip on the washer fluid removal. It is tight in there without removing it.
Just to add: I just swapped my stock bulbs for 6000K ones and am very happy with them. Saved both stock ones as a backups in the toolbox. Fanatics were right as usual also....6000K bulbs are about as high as I would go.
useful.. saved me some time even though it's very basic! thanks bro!
nice vid. i wish this was out about 3 months ago when i changed my lights to the 8000k. that was my first time ever changing the bulbs and it took me about an hour and a half to do it. lol. i ended up taking the whole thing apart.
lol sorry to hear. yea no one ever asked for a vid or DIY, else i would have made one a long as time ago lol
Hey i looked at the diy and those lights looked nothing like mine... maybe cuz im a sedan can some one help me out cuz im not understand the directions all that well either
well if you have a sedan, then why are you on this thread? the title says 04+ coupe :slap: keep searching, i made a separate DIY for the rest of the non-m's
Good info. Anything involving the headlights on the facelift coupe is a b1tch!
Nice, this is really helpful!
Seriously thank you!!! I just switched my bulbs out and this video was a life savor. I tried doing it by trial and error see what I could come up with, but no luck. Came on here, did a search and found this. Saved me so much time.
awesome video, much easier than i thought!
there is absolutely no room on the passenger side on my car. My washer fluid tank is full too, god damnit.
hey great video! i'm gonna love this forum.

well most people know that the media is 100% pro-obama/bloomburg biased.
the media has become nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece for the government/administration.
and it ain't all about firearms, the media mis-reports economic data, joblessness,homelessness, home repos, debt defaults, crimes, and so on every day.
if the news was telling the truth -- your bank accounts would be so full of $$$ that you couldn't figure out how to spend it all.
in truth everybody is trying to make that pay-check last till the next one and that is getting more difficult every day. inflation is eating the wealth up.
people know how bad it really is cause most live it every day.
the press saying how great the economy is just shows how skewed the media really is.
