Is my roof going to start leaking soon?
I have a traditional cape style house and I am concerned about a roof leak in the near future. I went to the attic this morning to check on things after having a significant amount of rain the day before. It looked fine everywhere except a small section where west side of the house meets the roof which is also the side of the house where the chimney is. Let me try to explain. The house faces south. The North and South side of the house is where all the roof shingles are visible. The East and West side of the house is where the peak is visible. The area of concern is on the West side. Prior to purchasing the house, the inspector noticed a white spot on one of the pieces of sheathing in the attic located right at south-west corner of the house (where the roof meets the west side of the house). Since the roof is brand new, he said that is probably from the old roof leaking, so he told us not to worry too much about it. He said to get some over the counter stuff and treat it as though it was mold. The spot was only on a single piece of sheathing and no-where else. When I looked up today, I noticed that a few more pieces of sheathing looked discolored. They didnt look white or moldy, but they felt slightly colder than other areas. The discolored areas formed a patch that traveled from where the chimney is to the front of the house. Again, this patchy area is located right at the corner where the roof meets the side of the house. I should also mention that there was a lot of wind that could have blown rain under the singles.
It sounds like the chimney is a likely place to start. I would start at the top, and work down. Check the cap for cracks. Does it overhang the brick by at least an inch or two? Now the bricks; are they all in good shape, or are some of the faces of them broken away, indicating that water is getting into them, freezing, freezing, and cracking them? Check the mortar joints carefully. Then the flashing at the base of the chimney; are the shingles and flashing overlapped so as to prevent water from backing up there? Is the chimney in the roof, or at the side of the roof? In otherwords, can water run down the roof and hit the chimney, or does it run beside the chimney? If it hits the chimney, can it stand there, creating a pond, from which it can back up under the flashing or shingles?
And by the way, be very careful up there. If you are not comfortable on the roof, hire a local expert to inspect it.
This is one where a picture really IS worth a thousand words. :yes::yes:

Thank you for your quick responses. I am a first time home buyer, so I am still learning a lot. One of the pictures shows the chimney. The inspection report flagged that there wasnt a cap installed. I know I have to get one in there asap, but I thought I was there to prevent debris and animals from crawling in, not so much to keep water out. Ive been also curious as to why the chimney looks different on the side that it touches the house. It looks greenish in color. What is flashing? And is it supposed to be attached on the roof to keep water out?
The other picture is from the inspection report and it shows the white spot in the attic which probably happens to be right where the chimney meets the house. Thank you so much for your feedback, I can take a better picture later today.
its not the flue cap [althouh thats not a bad idea],but the chimney cap that should be overhanging the brick....you dont got none:wink:
flashing is like the aluminum or whatever material you choose to cover the edges around your house to prevent water from getting in, such as around the roof/gutter/valley areas
Yes it appears you definitely have chimney issues. Best to have a mason look at the whole thing from the counterflashing up to the cap (or lack thereof)
Flashing/counterflashing is the metal installed where the chimney meets the roofdeck. Step-flashing is installed with the shingles and counterflashing is installed on the chimney to cover the top edge of the step-flashing. If you think a good roofer is pricey, wait til ya see a mason's quote. I have found that a good mason is worth every penny though.
Whoever investigates should look at everything from the step-flashing on up to the cap to make sure nothing is overlooked. Left unchecked, that leak is only going to get worse.
Yes, I agree; you need a mason, and the sooner the better. They most likely would anyway, but just to be sure, also ask them to inspect your flue. It looks to me like it may be a bit off center, and if constructed that way, it's probably fine, but you will want to make sure that the top of it isn't leaning before the cap is poured. And tell them that you want a concrete cap, that overhangs the bricks, not a mortar one, and not one that is flush with the edge of the bricks. It looks as though the corners of some of your shingles may be starting to curl, so you may want to think ahead to a roof inspection, but for now, it certainly appears as if your chimney is the culprit.
Dexter, it's a new roof. Doesn't look like they've had a chance to seal down.
Interesting. I am going to have a roofer come and take a look, and maybe he could advise me on what to do as far as flashing goes. I didn't know the chimeney caps were made out of concrete or mortar. Most of the caps i see around are stainless steel. In fact, i was making some calls earlier today to some local bussinesses and they told me i could pick up one at a Home Depot for about a $100.
The inspector did say the roof looked brand new, and it does. However, i am unable to determined the exact age. I would gess less than 4 years.
Ah ha! I see that now. I guess you're not the only "oldnbroken" one! Smithers, take care of your chimney, and disregard the roof inspection.
The area of concern is the wash or crown which is all of the chimney top around the flue(s). This should be concrete, but is often mortar, which is prone to cracking. When a flue cap is installed with a bad crown it worsens the problem since the water that was going down the flue is now dumped on the cracked crown and goes down through the masonry. If the moisture freezes, it can split, heave, or spall the brick.
If you have a bad wash/crown that has lead to chimney damage, it should be repaired and a full chimney cover installed. If you only have some cracks in the wash and no further chimney damage, then a full cover will suffice.
While it looks like your shingles are new, it also appears the flashing was re-used. This is a questionable practice. Often, the re-used flashing will not last the life of the new roof. We seldom re-use flashing.
Thanks seeyou for the clarification. I actually went back to look at the inspection report and realized the inspector flagged the chimney crown as "not visible" i looked really hard on the back of the chimney yesterday and was able to see a piece of concrete over the top, but nothing upfront. In any case i had put this item on my house maintenance "to do list." By the way a closer inspection of the wood inside the attic right by the chimney revealed that it wasnt really moisture, but discoloration of the wood. I almost looked like it had been exposed to heat. Still have to deal with the moldy spot in the picture, but there is no evidence of a leak at this point. I am still going to get someone to inspect the flashing. Can the flashing be replaced without replacing the entire roof?
If anyone does fix your chimney flashings, make sure it's the step flashing AND the counterflashing. If you see the guy start up the ladder with a caulking gun, SEND HIM AWAY IMMEDIATELY and call someone else.

Diorama Of New York
Light jet print
172.2 x 134 cm
Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else." Italo Calvino,
Invisible Cities
Sohei Nishino
Diorama Of Paris
Light jet print
135 x 156 cm
If there were a presiding spirit over Nishino's dioramas, it would have to be Italo Calvino's Marco Polo, guiding us through Invisible Cities where the imagination takes over the job of urban planning from the rational architects and administrators. If anything, we are over-mapped today. Anyone with a screen can in a matter of seconds hone in on a country, a city, a street, a house, a doorway. It's magic of a kind, I suppose, but then why does it so quickly wear off? Where is the wonder we feel when looking at medieval maps, when cartographers felt justified in filling terra incognita with imaginary islands and two headed-men?
Sohei Nishino
Diorama Of Tokyo
Light jet print
136.5 x 137 cm
Nishino reinvests cities with wonder (and not incidentally cites 18th-century cartographer Inō Tadataka, who also did his surveys on foot, as an influence). Streets bustle, buildings tilt and sway (perhaps only an earthquake-sensitive Japanese could portray cities perched so precariously on the Earth). The old Cubists would have adored these maps: we look up while looking down; we look down… and see the sky. Nishino's giddy maps remind us that cities, for all their giddy chaos, are at the core miraculous human achievements.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thank you for writing in today. Since you had the associated breast tenderness and PMS-like irritability, this may have been some hormonal imbalance; however, since you are post-menopausal, having gone more than 12 months without a period, any and all bleeding needs to be reported and investigated. This is true for now and in the future. The reason this is necessary is because post-menopausal bleeding is often related to underlying problems, such as fibroids and infections. Also, and more specifically, cervical or endometrial cancers need to be ruled out. I don't mean to alarm you, but I do want to reinforce the importance of having this and any future bleeding evaluated. This indeed may have been a brief hormonal imbalance; however, due to your age and post-menopausal status, break through bleeding must be taken very seriously. I hope you understand. I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know. Lisa

On 3/30/11 we went to Lawry's for dinner and a close to our four day trip to Chicago for my daughter's birthday. The evening started well enough with a warm greeting by the host and prompt - courteous service in the lounge. Unfortunately, that was the end of professional service. Our waitress was clearly disinterested in doing her job and in fact was useless in our desire to have a fine meal. She never asked if we wanted a drink - we had to slow her down to request a wine list. Never offered a side to the Prime Rib - we had to request a side lobster tail that arrived late. She never explained the horse radish tastes - she dropped it off an left. No smiles, completely rushed the process, lack of execution that you wouldn't experience at Denny's. To top it off the management, instead of apologizing defended the server and only offered ice cream for my two children - which comes with the meal. For 250 dollars for a family of four, kids 7 and 8, this was one of the most disappointing meals and lack of professional service we have every experienced. Skip this place and if you don't lay down the expectations at the door or you will be in for a bad evening.

Our experience in one word ~ bad!
Upon arrival, the host seemed annoyed that we were approximately 15 minutes early for our reservation. Comments were exchanged as we were being directed to our table. I thought being a bit early would be well received, unfortunately, I was mistaken. Then our waitress was constantly interrupting our conversation, she had a snippy attitude and unfortunately, we could not understand what she was saying. I appauld her for learning English but a customer needs to understand what you are saying. We had to ask numerous times for her to repeat what she said. At the time, the dining room was not crowded ~ so, she needed to slow down her pace, in speaking and serving.
I understand that prime rib is not 'lean' as a filet ~ however, I am not exaggerating in saying the lean part of our prime rib was probably 2 inches in diameter. Horrible!
This was a birthday celebration and trust me, we will not go back to Lawry's!! Very expensive birthday dinner and came away very disappointed. We decided to give Lawry's another try after being disappointed 2 years ago. Obviously, we will not try a third time... some things never change.
Next celebration will be at Morton's or Gibson's... we have always enjoyed our dining experience at both places.

This place is wonderful for the beef lovers and service is great!!!!!!!

Best prime rib in the city without a doubt, been going there off and on for years (due to the price). I have no idea how people could give this place a bad review, its simply fantastic.
Go there during Christmas time and you'll never forget it!

I saw lawry's on the food network and i've wanted to go there for the prime rib for the longest time. i open the menu and you pretty much have no choice but to order the prime rib. we get the California cut knowing it would be the smallest cut but i figured for $34 it can't be that bad (they don't show you or describe what you are getting btw). I get a prime rib as thin as my pinky and mashed potato's that taste like it came from a box. i didn't even get a choice on the salad dressing they just bring you the spinning salad which is just a bowl in a bowl of ice. we were all so upset and eating our dinner feeling ripped off because we know we could have gotten a better steak anywhere else in chicago. in short WASTE OF YOUR TIME AND MONEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A REAL STEAK

Great food, service and atmosphere. our server went out of her way to make it an evening to remember, a must for prime rib lovers.

I've been to a lot of steak places but I have to say never one like this. It's well lit, very elegant, not loud at all, and comfortable. While you might assume that a restaurant located inside a mansion with such elegant decor would have stuffy service it most certainly did not. Our waitress was friendly, out going, playful, but also knew her stuff and did her best to please all of us. Their uniforms are also fun. The spinning bowl salad was not only tasty but fun to watch them make, and while they do put a lot of dressing on it, it still tastes really good. The Prime rib was also wonderful and I love the fact that you have so many choices in size. Four of us went and we all got different sizes and everyone was happy with there's. I have the 5 oz and was impressed not only with the taste but with the fact that they offer such a reasonable size. My husband and I split the mixed mushrooms as a side and were very pleased. The mashed potato's were very good as well. And there signature desert of a chocolate hand bag with cream and berry's was so creative and different. All in all a wonderful experience, we'll definitely be going back.

ME AND MY BEST FRIEND TOOK OUR GIRLS FRIENDS OUT HERE, FOR V-DAY FOR A NICE DINING EXPERIENCE. Well when we got there we waited for a hour and 15 min. I thought the wait was to be expected since i heard it was a good place to eat and it was v-day after all. Let me tell u the place need to go out of business, for the terrible food i had to endour for the prices they have. the entry was the best..lol. the hard breadi ate that i had to put lots,and lots of butter to get it down. The salad was medicore i had better from the ready made salad you get from the grocery store. Then the mashed pudding they serve was like grawl they give prisoner. then the master chef came around with our steak. i just knew this would make up for everything else. Maybe he didnt like me or something but it was fatty steak i ever had no real lean meat. the taste was sorry for a restaurant that called themselves lawry the same people the make seasoning salt. they actually dont put any seasoning on there meat out all. The four of us left the place TICKED OFF. and ended up grabbing sum real food somewhere else to make up for the sorry excuse of a meal they attempt to make.AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST, DONT EVEN WASTE UR TIME,MONEY, OR PATIENT. Listen to the other reviews this place needs a major overall in the kitchen.
07/12/2008Provided by Citysearch -
We wanted to celebrate our 10th anniversary with great food at a nice place. We absolutely chose the WRONG restaurant. Lawry's was a waste of our time, taste buds, and money. The prime rib was at best, average. The service was just pathetic. It took forever for the master chef to come to our table. Other tables were seated after us, but served and left before us. For a place that has prime rib as their specialty, they definately need help. You would be much better off going to any steakhouse and get the same quality prime rib for a whole lot less AND walk out with a full stomach (and were not big people so it doesn't take much to make us full). I agree with the other post that said the sides are like school cafateria food - plus it is $5 extra! The pre-dinner bread WAS the best part. If you truly want great prime rib, then you need to go to The Captain's Table in Custer, South Dakota. We were there 9 years ago and still remember every succulant bite. But, if you don't want to go that far, then go to Glenwood Oaks in Glenwood, IL. They are a very classy restaurant that has very good prime rib and it's a lot more reasonably priced. Bottom line - DON'T GO TO LAWRY""S! High prices DO NOT mean great food! There has to be a better place in Chicago for prime rib!!!

I have been home for a while, and it has been good.
My knees have not been too bad, but like mum, my body does not like the metal crimps that are there on my second knee, so we have some drugs for this and we will look further into this in about 2 months, when my knee implant is stronger. Hopefully my body gets over this reaction.
Copper and I have been creating havoc in the small back yard and when we are allowed down to the big back yard, those birds know I am back. No birds in the back yard, how many times do I have to tell them, don't they know dog language or do I have to spell it out to them.
I'm a blue heeler, what do you expect, I adapt, I have a new style of running, and I can still beat Copper anytime, anyplace, much to mum's total horror.
Life is good, so is the couch - Play hard..... Lunar
It's was christmas eve on a really hot day, and the vet, my Phil, said it' s time to go home and you don't have to come back.
So we rang mum, and she was here like a shot. We drove home to have a christmas eve BBQ - which is my favorite, mum has the eggs and onion and Copper and I get all the steak, I don't know how that works, but it does.
I played in the newly modified back yard. Mum had made the yard smaller for me, so that I can get fit again and not hurt my knee's by running around like a chook. She had build a new deck which was christened the "Lunar Deck".
Copper was sooooo glad to see me, she's back to kissing me (she could never stay mad at me) and follows me every where.
I think this was a good present for mum.
Now all I have to do is be sensible and not run around too much for a while, cut down on the bird chasing. Apparently ball and frisbee games are out. We have been playing some modified games with toys for some time, these games mum has worked out, so that I don't hurt my knees.
Sensible, you can take the knees away from the dog, but I hate to tell you I'm a blue heeler and we never say "die". I will be back.....
Well, I had done it again - blown the cruciate, I was really enjoying my time at home too, Copper was just so happy to see me, she is such a kissy dog, always kissing me, but when I came home, she was 10 times worse, she annoys me sometimes.
My vet suggested the standard knee surgery for this time, since I had already been in confinement for over 18 weeks on the TPLO and had only been out for a week and a half.
So off, under the knife again. Phil the senior vet, made sure I was well looked after, he came in on his day off to do the surgery, and my favorite nurse made sure I was fine and kept me company and safe during the surgery.
All went well, so back to the old routine - dropped off in the moring for day care and home at night. Really I did miss the chats during the day and all those tummy rubs.
I was only in for 2 days when young Copper came in, she was not well. They all said she had made herself sick worring about me. Apparently she missed me so much she made herself sick and was put on a drip and she stayed next to me for 4 days, until she felt better. I think she was mad at me, because mum brought her to say hello when she arrived and she just turned her back on me and she didn't even kiss me, so I kissed her.
Copper went home and I stayed for another 9 weeks.

Trouble installing half quarters, need advice
I have a 1971 Chevelle. I am putting on the lower half rear quarters. The car is in pretty decent shape, but I want to do it right and just not patch and bondo. I have put one quarter on, and am going to redo it, it is going to need to much bondo to look right. When I put the quarters on, should I overlap the metals. and if so, should I put the new metal behind or in front of the old metal? I tried to weld the metal with the ends butted together and it did not work out well. And if I do overlap the metal, should I tap in the welded area? or just grind it downn and use filler to cover it? And do I have to use fiberglass first over the welded joint? or can I use bondo only if the weld is pretty neat and doesn't need much? thanks for any info -Chris
Hi Chris,
I allways like to butt weld panels together.The trick with butt welding two panels,is to weld a little at a time,and let the metal cool to not get warpage.If you have a 2 foot weld to make,spot it once at on end,once at the other end,and once in the middle.Let those welds cool,and connect the dots,takeing care not to get the metal too hot.If thatdoesnt sound like your cup of tea,yo0u can lap weld them.To lap weld them,you will need a flange tool.You can get a flange tool at Northern Tool,or in almost any tool magazine,they aren to expencive.I like to think of lap welding as roofing a house.I flange the lower piece,and punch a hole about every 2 inches,then rosette weld the holes on each end,then the center,and connect the dots again.The flange tool usualy has a punch on the other side of the flang.I hope I helped,and if you need any pics,I could take some and mail them to you,or post them here.
I'd also go with butt welds. One of our club members has his 34 Plymouth at a popular paint shop and we have been going by every Saturday morning to check on it. In the shop is a 68 RS/SS Camaro that I have been watching also. This Camaro was in pretty sad shape and needed 2 rear quarters and the panel below the trunk in addition to a total floor. The guys at the shop separated the quarter panels on the crown line at the top of the quarters, just cut it off with a high speed grinder. They then tacked the new quarter on with welds about every three to four inches. They allowed enough time to cool and when the day was done they had both quarters fully welded. Followed that with grinding away the excess weld and went over the entire new quarters with a 36 grit DA pad. If I had not seen the quarters put on that Camaro I would have not been able to tell, it was amazing.
Hey, thanks for the replys. I'm going to pick up a flange tool tommorow. I think I'm just going to try lap welding the body parts. The butt welding I did was really bad, and since I'm not a good welder ( using a small lincoln mig) and probably don't have the best welder for the job, I'm going to take the easy route so I don't screw it up anymore then I already did.
KFX, Are you using a MIG or Flux core? It is hard to butt weld with gasless wire, a MIG is a lot easier and a lot cleaner no matter which method you choose. If you lap weld you will find that it is easier to do without warping than butt welding and unless you are doing a really high quality resto lap welding should not hurt a thing. Be sure and seal the lap from behind so that moisture cannot get between the lapped edges where it can cause rust. As the others have already said take you time don't weld too much at once and give the metal time to cool between welds. This is one area where impatience will cause a lot of problems.
Hey Oldred, I'm using a lincol mig welder with flux cored wire, the welder seems a little hot, I have it turned all the way down and have the wire feed as low as it will go without locking up ( doesn't seem to be the best mig machine, borrowed it from a friend, it's the base line lincoln mig) it's gasless. I'm definetley going to try the lap welding, seems like it should be a lot easier
Ok you would do a lot better with a MIG (M-etal I-nert G-as) instead of that fluxcore welder if one is available, if possible use .023 solid wire with C/25 shielding gas and there will be a world of difference in how well it welds. If you have to use the flux core it can be done but it is more difficult and will require more grinding to clean up. I would use the lap method for sure in this case since it will be easier just make sure that both panels are super clean with no paint, rust, dirt or grease on them. (some primers and weld through coatings are ok)
I am with red, the flux core makes it pretty tough. Butt welding with flux core would be pretty taxing for anyone so don't feel bad.
Here is how I see the whole butt weld vs lap weld, what is the "Bestest" way for you? If you do a quality lap weld it will do the job and is not incorrect at all.
Evil laid it out nicely for you. One thing that people will make a mistake with is using the whole patch panel they buy. You don't always need the whole thing so don't use it unless it makes sense. If you can use the whole thing and weld it near a body line to add support that is fine. But if you can weld nearer the lower part of the quarter you may save yourself a lot of warping.
Where exactly is the rust and how big are the panels you using?
Be carefull, a flanging tool can sometimes warp the panel more than welding, it tends to straighten crowned areas. I like to butt weld whenever possible.

Mikuru vs Yuki Afternoon Update
5 hours in GIMP.
This round is definitely turning to be the weirdest round ever, with all the Haruhi votes and such.
On last estimate, the ratio of votes is almost 1:1:1, with Haruhi leading slightly, apprarently. Even more bizarre are the votes for Kyon and his imouto, the ENOZ girls, and also from what I saw, someone actually voted for Shinn Asuka, XD (look at post 727 in the current thread).
So here, I'm making an impassionate plea to those voting for Haruhi-sama…. PLEASE GIVE YOUR VOTES TO POOR MIKURU-RIN!

text: LONDON, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera) based in York, U.K., and Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) based in the U.S. have today announced that they will open a new laboratory-based training facility, combining their respective regulatory, scientific and industry expertise to help solve the global food safety challenge. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110707/NE31586LOGO ) According to a recent report from the European Commission, "there has been an alarming increase in food safety incidents" over the past few years in industrialised countries. The EC noted that the complex food supply chain and the continued growth of food exports and imports — which today exceed 690 billion pounds Sterling (over 860 billion Euros) annually — increase the risks to consumers while also posing risks to European economies reliant on seafood exports, for example. The Fera International Food Safety Training Laboratory (Fera IFSTL) will help by teaching the best available techniques for testing for food contamination and educating them on the different food safety regulatory standards around the world. This will help testing organisations to better detect contaminated food at farms, ports and manufacturing plants and increase compliance with food regulations, ensuring food is safe before it reaches the table. The training facility, based near York, will primarily train those concerned with exporting foods to Europe. Fera Chief Executive Adrian Belton welcomed the initiative, saying, "This is an excellent collaborative opportunity which will lead to real benefits throughout Europe and beyond. Fera's food science experts are internationally recognised and now they will be able to pass on that expertise through this new purpose built training centre. This initiative is just one of several recent developments that support the development of a science and innovation campus at this site." At the Fera laboratory, Fera scientists will lead intensive training programmes on EU-recommended testing methods for detecting possible contaminants in food using the latest technology and equipment. Courses will focus on detecting chemical contaminants preparing and testing samples according to fit-for-purpose methods to allow scientists to validate and use results to make the right decisions about whether food is safe and meets regulatory requirements.

Direct drop-ins "technically" do not exist. All barrel parts for mods, such as the one you are describing, should be fitted to prevent undue wear and tear on the new parts as well as the old.
As a XD owner, my question would be: Why would you want to convert a XD .40cal to a 9mm? I might be able to understand .40cal to .357Sig, but the 9mm baffles me since the cost of the parts and labor might be as much as buying a XD9 outright.
Advantages/disadvantages please.

I did a lot of traveling so far this winter. I was treated like a lady in Ireland and I treated myself like a lady in San Fran. We've had a lot of snow this year, I live in Boston, yet somehow my travel experience was incredibly seamless.
I arrived in one piece in Ireland although my luggage didn't.
So the outfit you see just below was the only one I had.
I could have freaked out. I almost did. I was thinking specifically about the brand new black suede wedges I had just bought and couldn't bare to imagine my nights out in Ireland without my new obsession. Packing is an extremely intimate thing, I had outfits planned and I wanted to wear them!
Luckily my man knows someone, who knows someone, who's sister worked at The Air Lingus baggage department. She located my luggage in London and expedited it's delivery straight to the front door!

Hilary Duff: Parking Problems in Beverly Hills
Making her health a priority, Hilary Duff headed to the doctor's office in Beverly Hills on Monday (March 18).
The "Lizzie McGuire" star looked cute in her black-and-white striped sweater, black leggings, and hightop boots as she played with her phone on the way back to her car.
Unfortunately, there was an unpleasant surprise waiting at her vehicle. Though she did put some money in the meter, it wasn't enough and the meter maids took notice.
On Monday afternoon, an unhappy Hilary tweeted, "Paparazzi suck!so they can follow me all day, everyday, make money off me by stalking but can't pop a coin in my meter so I don't get a ticket."

When does taking something by mistake become theft?(73 Posts)
My son's lunchbag went missing last week and still hasn't been returned. It's not in lost property and the teacher says she's looked for it to no avail. What conclusion can I draw other than someone else has taken it? It's been 5 days now. It has his name on it and an unusual bottle and lunchbox inside so difficult to confuse with another once opened. I've asked the PTA to send out an email but what more can I do? I am so cross. It's one thing for school clothes to get mixed up but this is the last straw. Of course, you can see the teacher's eyes roll as soon as you mention something like this... (sigh) The thought that someone has kept it when they know it's not theirs really bothers me.
But your assumption is it was STOLEN. I think that is what people are having a hard time understanding. It's a manky, smelly lunchbox. Wo would steal it?
I think Savoy cabbage is right on the money here.
I completely agree you mustn't minimise the concept of theft to children - but not is it stellar parenting to get so het up about something relatively trivial and teach your children that any time something goes missing some horrid little thief must have stolen it.
I'd be annoyed in the same situation and tbh I'm pretty sure most of the parents I know at school would be too. I don't know anyone who just shrugs when their stuff goes missing, at my DCs school there's no kind of formal email system and the PTA certainly wouldn't be involved but it's not unknown for a note to go in book bags about lost items.
OP - if you're still reading I'd suggest looking in the classroom yourself if possible, with the best will in the world the teachers have too much to do to expect them to look as hard as you would do. I bet you get it back.
Is that to me Spero? Sorry, I had gone off on my own tangent I think. I definately know that DDs stuff was stolen. There is no other answer. Not lost, not taken by mistake, stolen.
In the OPs case, maybe she too is certain that the lunchbox was stolen. Ok, maybe not if it is one of 30x 1D or Moshi lunchboxes, but if it was a 'one of a kind' or specific type then it would be hard to miss if your child bought it home.
I do understand people saying that the OPs property could have been misplaced in school though, but she seems quite certain in her belief, so I can understand how she feels. It's a month since dd had her stuff nicked, and I'm still pissed off about it - and so is DD, even to the point of not having a birthday party this year because of it
Love csi PTA
LOL! Exit, you poor thing. Cloths are always handy though I suppose....
This is a bit silly, and you don't know it's been stolen children, especially young children mislay thing's all the time.
Just get another 9not so precious one and tell your child to take better care of it
Above all calm down! it's only a lunchbox.
sorry! Don't know how that 9 got in there
If you are sure something has been stolen then absolutely it must be taken seriously. If it was a valuable item i would expect the school to take it seriously or even the police. In my sixth form one girl was stealing stuff from the others at the behest of her much older drug addict boyfriend. The police came and interviewed some of us. He ended up stealing her parents car.
Of course children (and parents) have to respect each others property.
But this is about a lunchbox and I assume very young children. This is bonkers.
DD is only 8 and the monetary value of her stuff was less than £30, but this was after 3 years of minor petty 'misplacements' - daps, jumpers, pt shirts etc. Whats to say that the other stuff that went missing wasn't just the start of what NOW becomes theft?
That's why I would take this seriously, and expect the school to as well. It may be ONLY a lunchbox now, and may be ONLY Reception kids. But if they aren't taught now, where does it end?
Sorry, this is obviously a soapbox of mine, but I am pissed off about it and maybe overthinking things. It has changed my view of DDs school and her teacher, who up to last month I thought was the dogs.
It's horrible for your daughter to be so upset it spoils her birthday and I think you should definitely be n at the school to handle this better.
But I think ops situation is totally different. I think its sad that she wants to think of a missing lunch box in terms of a criminal offence - sad for what it says about her view of her school community.
Of course she may be right and it is a Fagin finishing school, but personally I wouldn't want to draw that conclusion on such slender evidence.
I hear you Spero. I think I'm just projecting and . Cheers.
No crime in projecting. Or if there is I am looking at 20 to life.
Maybe there is similar backstory for op which would explain why she is so upset.
I hope the school pulls its collective fingers out and does better for your girl.
Thanks Spero, thankfully we only have another year at this school before we move. Ridiculous that I am thinking like that, but <<shrugs>>. Tomorrows another day and all that
Things do get stolen at school.
Something low value but sentimental was stolen out of my daughters book bag.. the school were great in looking for it, but in the end the head actually admitted that there were certain children who were '.light fingered' and there was little they could do about it.
It is irritating. My ds had something go missing at school. Several weeks later he saw another child with a similar one and commented that he used to have one like that.
My chin hit the floor when the child said "It is yours. It's got your name on it." The other mother said they'd brought it with them to give it back to ds - even though it was a complete fluke that we'd bumped into each other in the first place.
I don't think it's all that strange to send out an e-mail. I had a phone call after school one day to say that they thought dd had picked up the wrong lunchbox. An identical one had gone missing a few minutes before and dd's named one was still on the trolley.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I don't think anyone has been unpleasant to the OP, just not agreed with her.
I can only assume OP has had lots of items go missing and this is the final straw?
If you haven't already lost 4 jumpers, 2 books bag, 7 water bottles and 1 PE shoe then OP you need to rein it in and save all that energy for something more useful.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Well to be fair, there could be a massive back story of constant pilfering of jumpers etc...
But if there isn't then yes, I agree it is interesting why some people get so worked up so quickly by relatively trivial matters.
If my child came home with someone else's lunch box I would think "Must send that back in", and I would, but I might forget for a week or two
Now I find that interesting. If DD bought something home that wasn't hers, no matter what it was, I would take it back the very next day. I really cannot understand why you wouldn't? Or how you would 'forget' that you had something that didn't belong to you?
I wouldn't do it in a shop, I wouldn't do it to a friend, so I certainly wouldn't do it to a child - who might be getting a pure bollocking at home for 'losing' something yet again. My conscience would give me a right kicking.
As cabbage said there could be explanation in that child went off with non resident parent who just left it in back of car and didn't realise...
What is interesting here is the very quick assumption that it is theft which is a crime of dishonesty with all that implies for your future employability etc. that really baffles me.
To be fair, what quietlysuggests said had nothing to do with RPs/NRPs - I've just said I find what she said 'interesting' - as there is no way I would keep hold of something that didn't belong to me/my child "for a couple of weeks". There is no excuse for that, not if you know you have it.

By what I've seen on a few other threads regarding INTJ/INFP relationships, interaction and what not, both types seem to get along with the other very well (don't get me wrong, though, I've also seen the opposite). However, my question is why?
What interests one type in the other?
Specifically, though, I'm interested in hearing about what it is that draws INTJs to INFPs. Because I know what draws me to INTJs. Though INFPs feel free to post (I'm sure you will anyway ).
So as not to generalize, I'll just speak from experience. What first caught my attention about an INTJ I know (didn't know his type until just recently) was how quiet in observation he was and his air of confidence. The thing was that being around him, I just knew I was "on the outside" and that there was a heck of a lot more going on inside. So after just being "surface friends" for a while and making jokes and stuff we somehow got into deeper conversation. After that started I noticed that he began to observe me more as well. After a while we opened up to each other more and more and now we're pretty close.
For me, I feel extremely privileged to be one of the few that gets let in and I can appreciate so much of what he says. Also knowing that a lot of what he tells me is in confidence brings a lot of value to our friendship.
So what about you INTJs?
Don't destroy me

First remove as much water as possible from the tub. Then tilt the machine back at a 45 degree angle and remove the three 5/16" screws that hold the bottom panel on. Then you can access the pump which is on the right side of the unit. It will have two hoses coming off of it. Unclip the pump from the motor and remove the hoses from the pump to clear it. There is going to be a lot of water that comes out of the machine when you do this. Lay down a lot of towels. Clear the pump and the two hoses. That should take care of it.

Sydney forward Jesse White has told the Swans he wants to be traded to a Victorian club.
Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs are interested in the versatile ruckman who will formally meet with the Magpies next week for an interview.
White's agent Ben Williams, of Players Ink management, informed the club on Thursday that the out of contract player had requested a trade.
After only three games in 2012, injuries to Adam Goodes and Sam Reid created opportunities for the ruckman and key forward who responded to the opportunity with probably his best year yet for the Swans. He kicked 20 goals in 15 games and while he was poor in the qualifying final loss to Hawthorn he had 20 touches and took nine marks in the loss to Fremantle and had another 20 touches in the win over Carlton.
"Today I had a meeting with the Sydney Swans on behalf of Jesse and I have requested a trade for him. All of Jesse's family live in Melbourne so that is the likely destination for him," Williams said.
The Bulldogs are interested in the powerful 25-year-old but the Dogs picture is slightly complicated by their need to negotiate a trade for Essendon's Stuart Crameri. The Dogs will not give up their first pick - selection 4 - for Crameri so are likely to have to trade their second round pick for Crameri, which leaves them with a tradeable third round pick for White, or a player.
Should Collingwood want White and other clubs don't enter the frame they would be expected to have to consider their second round pick for the deal. At Collingwood White would be expected to be marked for the role of tall forward alternating as relief ruck. Quinten Lynch was recruited as a free agent from West Coast last year for that role.
Lynch started the season well but injury forced a drop in form and he missed games mid-way through the year with the back injury.
White would also leave Collingwood with the flexibility to move premiership centre half back Ben Reid back to defence should it be required through injury or form.
Melbourne might be assumed to be interested in White because of Paul Roos' appointment there but the Demons have a plethora of good tall forwards with Mitch Clark and Chris Dawes then Jesse Hogan joining for next season. Jeremy Howe plays tall and Jack Watts is another with the capacity to play forward.
The Swans also have premiership ruckman Shane Mumford still yet to sign a new contract with Greater Western Sydney understood to be interested. It is doubtful the former Geelong ruckman would now leave the Swans.


text: I'm not even going to try to hide my bias here. I really hate tattoos, especially on women. Maybe that's sexist or whatever, but I can't think of anything that ruins a female body worse than a big, dumb, tattoo. I've never understood the appeal. Here you are, beautiful vision of woman, and all you can think to do is get Hello Kitty on your ass or a pair of six shooters stenciled across your tits. Stupid. Feeling that way makes seeing the state of Lena Heady particularly depressing. Lena's always been a favorite of mine since way back. Her nasty bitch of a character on Game of Thrones is a particularly fun-to-hate part of that show. I think we all appreciated her hot sex scenes in 300. What would possess such a classy dame to put a bunch of ink all over herself? I know, you're probably thinking you've seen worse. It's not about degrees. It's just the fact that it's there, where there was once beautiful, unblemished feminine skin. I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if she'd gotten a humming bird on her ankle or something, but why bother making a nature scene out of her back? When is she going to see that? She'd have to to turn her house into a changing room environment with the wall-to-wall mirrors just to catch a glimpse of it. This just sucks. Now I'm depressed. I need pie.

very nice where did you get the helmet and is it trash can?
The helmet is a vacformed kit from the RPF. it came in 3 pieces, plus resin ears and range finder. no visor or stalk though. I got the visor from ebay, it's actually a red visor, but I had to add tint to make it dark enough to hide my face.
The armor is made from a chlorine bucket.
ahhhhhh ok looks great keep it up
your ab plate should be a bit bigger. about a pinky's width between the plates in perfect sizing.
Probally is, could be that they are leaning or something like that. Still looks good. I am liking the colors. LOL!
in his defense i think he just laid it out to shoe us looks good man!!!
Little update.
Ohh...that is some nice armour!!! Good looking mate!
Have you posted this on the Mercs yet?
DUDE! That is so kick *****. Amazing job.....keep them coming.
I like you've mixed up classic rednblack with a bit of grey.
Thanks guys.
I have to redo the gauntlets, they are still to shinguard looking. No biggie, i've got some new ones ordered. I'm also going to weather the vest and add either a girth belt or sash to fill the gap between vest and cod.
I like the grey as well. It gives some visual depth to the whole thing, as things tend to get lost on plain black. I'm going to wash the flight suit like 14 times, and try and get it to fade a bit.

Booyah... I ran ten miles. Ten. 1 hour and 40 minutes late I ran ten miles. I feel so much better knowing that I can run 10 despite all my issues over the last couple of months. It makes me a bit more confident of doing the rock n roll in a mere 18 days. Doh!
My toe joint is very stiff and achy but I'm icing it and all that jazz.
Tomorrow I go in for an evaluation for my SI joint at physical therapy. Go not only will I be going for my foot/legs I'll be working my core/pelvic area to get that all in working order. What a whole box of fun I am. So one day a week will be spent on my legs, another day on my core, and then I get a day at the chiropractor. How the heck did that all happen? ha!
... and it's almost summer vacation for my kids. Ooooph.

hope you're feeling better soon!! Nice job getting the ten miles in!ReplyDelete
The rule of thumb I've heard is that you can complete triple your training in a race, due to crowd and volunteer support, so you are good to go for the marathon!ReplyDelete

ATHENS, Ga. - Tennessee's afternoon in Sanford Stadium began with a 17-point deficit. It ended with turnovers on its last three possessions. But in between, the Vols showed plenty of resolve in pushing No. 5 Georgia to the brink before falling 51-44 on Saturday.
"I am proud of this team for fighting," said head coach Derek Dooley. "I think we showed that we have some resilience in this ball team, but we a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball. We are leaving here a better team than when we got here."
Georgia scored all of its 51 points in the first three quarters, and 30 of those came in the third quarter. UT's defense, which gave up several big plays on the ground before and allowed the Bulldogs to gain 234 yards of total offense in the first quarter alone, dug in gave the offense a two chances to tie the game in the third quarter.
"We kept hanging in there but couldn't get over the hump and get a stop when we needed it," said Dooley. "We had the ball in the last possession and had an opportunity to score, but we didn't get it done. We haven't been in those situations a lot. We are going to learn from it and next time execute it better."
Taking over at its 28-yard line with 7:31 to go and trailing by seven points, the Vols drove to the Georgia 50 before Sanders Commings intercepted a Tyler Bray at the Bulldogs' 36.
Georgia, which had just one first down in the fourth quarter, went three-and-out on its next possession, giving UT the ball at its 26 with 4:06 left. Tennessee moved the ball into Georgia territory and converted a key third down with an 11-yard completion to Cordarrelle Patterson to the Georgia 27.
Four plays later, though, Bray fumbled trying to escape pressure and Georgia's John Jenkins fell on the ball, effectively ending UT's upset bid. The Vols had one last-ditch chance to try and tie the game, but Bray's first pass from the UT 35 with 15 seconds left was tipped and intercepted by Commings.
That Tennessee (3-2, 0-2 SEC) would even have a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter seemed highly unlikely after the way Saturday's game started.
The Bulldogs scored on four of their first five possessions -- the lone exception an interception UT safety Byron Moore returned for a touchdown -- and had a 27-10 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the second half.
Two lengthy touchdown runs, a 75-yarder by Keith Marshall and a 51-yarder by Todd Gurley, gave Georgia plenty of early momentum.
The Vols, though, punched back.
On the Bulldogs' next possession following Gurley's long run, the Vols forced a punt. Then they started forcing turnovers.
After a 10-play drive ended with linebacker A.J. Johnson's third rushing touchdown of the season, linebacker Herman Lathers sacked Murray and Johnson scooped up the loose ball at the UGA 18-yard line.
Four plays later, tailback Rajion Neal scored from 10 yards on a catch-and-run. That score gave the Vols 20 unanswered points -- and their first lead of the game -- with less than a minute to go before halftime.
But those final 42 seconds proved enough time for Georgia to get in range of kicker Marshall Morgan, whose 50-yard field goal made the score 30-30 at halftime.
Georgia opened the second half with 14 unanswered points on touchdown passes of 8 and 32 yards from Aaron Murray to Michael Bennett.
The Vols, though, bounced right back again.
Patterson broke free for a 46-yard touchdown run thanks to key blocks from Bray and tailback Marlin Lane. Patterson, who looked to pass first, cut back twice and escaped Georgia's defenders for his second rushing touchdown of the season, which made the score 43-37 with 4:13 remaining in the third quarter.
Three plays after that, though, Georgia's Marshall broke free again, going untouched off tackle for 72 yards and what proved to be the deciding score.
Marshall finished with a game-high 164 rushing yards, and the Bulldogs ran for 282 yards total.
While Georgia's freshmen backs carried the day, Tennessee's running game made a major improvement from where it was the last two games in this series.
After rushing for a combined minus-12 yards the last two years against Georgia (a figure that includes negative yardage from quarterback sacks), the Vols ran for 197 on Saturday.
Neal had 104 of those rushing yards, and Tennessee's offensive line got more dominant as the game went on. UT's fourth-quarter touchdown drive had eight running plays, including the last six, ending with Neal's 9-yard run.
The loss marked the first time in program history that Tennessee lost when scoring 40 or more points breaking a streak of 177 consecutive wins when it reached that threshold.
The Vols have a week to recover from Saturday's game and get ready for a trip to No. 21 Mississippi State (4-0, 1-0 SEC) on Oct. 13. Mississippi State did not play Saturday.

Over the course of my career analyzing companies and markets as well as managing investment portfolios, I have been very careful to avoid the use of the words/phrase "bubble", "it's different this time" and the currently popular "new normal". While there have indeed been speculative bubbles, not all price increases reflect "bubble" status. Similarly, "it's different this time" usually implies that history has not been adequately studied. Finally, the "new normal" may reflect new levels of a business/economic cycle, and these levels may be normal for such a period, but "new normal" to describe a structural change is somewhat of a paradox.
I have recently heard of REIT dividend yields (well, many yields across sectors) being described as a "new normal" state. The paradox befuddles me and causes me to scratch my head. Speaking specifically about REITs and their dividend yields, the "new normal" may be appealing to investors who are trying to describe the low absolute yield of this asset class. A look at the history of dividend yields is in order (source: NAREIT):
As the above graph shows, REIT dividend yields are at their lowest point since the beginning of the NAREIT data series. In and of itself, this might appear to be a "new normal" dividend yield level. It might appear to be, but it is not.
Consider that dividend yields reflect the economic/financial environment in which they occur. If we accept this statement as true, then the general level of interest rates should also reflect this environment. For our purpose, let's look at the ten year constant maturity treasury (CMT) rate (source: FRB St. Louis):
As we can see from the above chart, dividend yields and the ten year CMT are directionally consistent. This can also be shown in the following chart:
It should be noted that I have changed the time period of the charts to begin in 1990, as that would be around the time that REITs began to go public and, in my opinion, better represents public REIT dividend yields.
From the chart above, we can see that REIT dividend yields do indeed move directionally with the ten year CMT rate. In fact, the correlation between the two rates over this time period is 72%, which shows a strong correlation between the two data series. The average difference between the ten year CMT and the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT index's dividend yield is 106bps (1.06%) and the difference is currently 168bps (1.68%). When taken together, we can see that the current low dividend yields are not surprising, they are not new, and they are rather normal.
The above chart also shows something interesting, namely, there are periods when the two rate series diverge, and may diverge significantly. The reason for this is rather straightforward - REITs rely on external financing for debt repayment and capital raising as they, by law, have to pay out 90% or more of their taxable income. In other words, REITs cannot retain sufficient cash to repay debt or engage in property acquisitions so they must access the capital markets. In the chart above, we can see that the divergences take place in times of financial stress.
- Recall that in 1998 Long Term Capital Management blew up and the Soviet Union collapsed (resulting in a debt default). The capital markets (notably the debt capital markets) locked up and raising capital became extremely difficult and expensive.
- This was quickly followed by the collapse of the speculative technology bubble which, again, hindered access to capital.
- We then see a period of strong investment in the REIT sector combined with gradually falling interest rates where REIT dividend yield were actually lower than the ten year CMT, which was quickly followed by the real estate implosion and a quick and brutal sell off in REIT shares combined with an inability to access the capital markets.
If we accept this as true, we should see a directional relationship between dividend yields and financial stress. To measure this, I used the St. Louis Financial Stress Index (description here). The relationship, expressed graphically is:
As the above chart evidences, when there is financial stress in the system, REIT dividend yields will increase and when the financial stress on the system is benign, REIT dividend yields will decrease (or, more appropriately, return to following and being correlated with rates rather than financial stress).
Bottom Line: The low absolute levels of the dividend yields available to REIT investors should not be a surprise - they are following their normal pattern. The only thing new about this is they are at a new level for the cycle. I would put forth the supposition that there is nothing new here and that current yields are normal. Many investors believe that there is a "bubble" in the Treasury market (which I also refuted here), which could then be extrapolated to the yield available to REIT investors, but in my opinion, that is neither here nor there as it is the environment we find ourselves in and have to contend with. One conclusion we can draw from this is also that when rates rise, yields will rise which will be paid for by FFO growth or a share price reduction (I would suggest the latter).

UK's Goldfrapp ambivalent about hip-hop, Madonna
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - They are credited with influencing the fashion style of Madonna but British electronica band Goldfrapp don't have much time for the pop diva or other big acts they will be playing with this summer.
Grammy-nominated Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose fourth album "Seventh Tree" hit No. 2 in Britain in February, will share the big stages at two outdoor British music festivals with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and Madonna.
"I think her fearlessness is amazing but I don't have particularly any admiration for her work," Goldfrapp, dressed in tight blue jeans, a shirt and sunglasses that were never removed, told Reuters in a recent interview.
On Sunday, the group -- acclaimed for their breadth of musical styles that canvas anything from pop to dance to glam rock -- kick off a tour of European concerts and summer festivals starting at BBC's Radio 1 music festival, where Madonna is also performing.
The straight-talking Goldfrapp will also be mixing with Jay-Z at Glastonbury, which has been criticized for straying from its roots by featuring the rapper as one of its top acts.
"People don't want it to become Americanized or kind of different, where you can't just wander around any more sort of half-naked with mud over you. I can see, understand that," Goldfrapp said about world's biggest open-air music and arts festival, which she dubbed "an English institution."
"I understand why people might start getting nervous that it will slowly wipe out the eccentric hippies ... Hip-hop is really conventional, I think," she said. "It's quite flashy, it's a lot about money, money."
Gregory, who hails from Bristol, England -- famed for breeding other electronic groups such as Massive Attack and Portishead -- said hip-hop was "about being wealthy, wearing a lot of jewelry" and was likely taken on due to Glastonbury's ever-growing reach. Continued...

The rapper who was shot in the face nine times is speaking out about adolescent bullying. In January, 50 Cent is set to release a new book called Playground.
The story focuses on a 13-year-old boy who stops bullying others after he learns that his actions were severely harmful.
"I had a strong desire to write Playground because I wanted to explore how a kid becomes a bully," the rapper said in a statement announcing the book. "I drew on events from my own childhood and adolescence, but was excited to see the story take on its own life."
From the numerous news stories about bullied children and young people committing suicide, the issue is more than just child's play.
Almost 30 percent of U.S students will experience being bullied during their lifetime, and every year almost 168,000 students miss school to avoid being bullied. Past studies have found that bullying is linked to failing grades, dropping out of school and mental health issues.
In 2005, 50 published an autobiography called, From Pieces to Weight. In it he talked about growing up in Jamaica, Queens, and how his mother, a drug dealer, was murdered when he was just eight years old. The only heroes in the neighborhood were either the bullies or drug dealers.
In 2009, 50 Cent co-wrote, with author Robert Greene, The 50th Law, a spinoff of Greene's The 48 Laws of Power.

Today's focus is on Germany Current account and Trade balance, both at 7 GMT.

Pope Benedict gave his last Audience today. As you can see, Piazza San Pietro was packed. In his address, he gave a quick discussion about the nature of the Church when he described the response to his resignation.At this point I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all the many people throughout the whole world, who, in recent weeks have sent me moving tokens of concern, friendship and prayer. Yes, the Pope is never alone: now I experience this [truth] again in a way so great as to touch … [Read more...]

Benedict's Last Papal Audience: What is the Church?
B16: Not Going Away – He Will Be Close To Us In Prayer.
Pope Benedict gave his final Angelus Address this morning in Rome. Unfortunately, many of the translations do not include what he said in this clip at the end: "[I]n preghiera siamo sempre vicini." ("In prayer, we are always close [to one another]")Lent sort of took me by surprise this year. It started early and I was distracted, not uncommon for me. But the one thing I did have clear was that I wanted to go deeper in prayer. The topic was part of a paper that I gave in Rome just before Lent … [Read more...]
B16: No more church of what's-happenin'-now.
I continue in my belief that Benedict's decision to resign is a momentous time of reform and readying the Church for the modern age. Last week, B16 addressed the Roman clergy and gave informal remarks reflecting on Vatican II. They were in many ways a reiteration of his 2005 Address to the Roman Curia...which most of us didn't notice.The fact that he chose now to hit the same theme suggests that it's important and tied to the legacy of his papacy. I've got an article on it here at National … [Read more...]
Bp Paprocki & March Madness: How to Address B16 After Feb. 28
Bishop Thomas John Paprocki [STL, JD, JCD] of Springfield in Illinois sent around the following canonical analysis on what to call Pope Benedict when he leaves office on February 28th. He has graciously allowed me to post them for those of us engaged in a different sort of March Madness.Since Pope Benedict's surprise announcement last week, there has been much discussion about what to call a Pope who steps down from office. The confusion is understandable since a Pope has not left office alive … [Read more...]
Benedict's Resignation – Bringing the Church into the Modern Age
So, here's my two cents about B16's resignation. In a piece in the Washington Times today, I maintain that this is part of John Paul II and Benedict's vision for the future of the Church. You can read the piece here.Additionally, I think it's important to note that Benedict will be remembered for influencing two consistories conclaves. The last with his homily on the dictatorship of relativism and this with his extremely clear signals as to what the leadership of the Church should look … [Read more...]
Benedict XVI: Humble, Heroic, Groundbreaking Servant
I know, those adjectives don't always go together; but Benedict is a unique case. I was just in Rome where I wasable to be at a private audience with the Pope on Thursday. I was there for his address to the Order of Malta on Saturday, when the Order celebrated its 900th anniversary. And I was there on Sunday for the Angelus.When I left Rome on Monday morning, the news had not broken yet. Landed at Dulles and, well there you have it! History had been made just a few hours before.
