Re: What does "Bend but don't break mean"?
very simple= means giving up FG's instead of TD's.
Re: What does "Bend but don't break mean"?
The Ravens were better in the redzone because they have less area to cover. Covering less area is easier because you can be physical without fear of a receiver running away from you and getting separation. Between the twenties, however, the Ravens lacked the speed to cover vast expanses of turf, so they had to play off receivers and keep the ball in front of them.
The team identified this lack of speed up the middle in particular (ie, Ray, Ed, Bernard) as a big weakness. As I mentioned in a post a day or two ago, everyone can recall Vernon Davis in the Super Bowl openly mocking Ray Lewis when Ray couldn't keep up with Vernon over the middle, and we recall John Harbaugh pulling his headset mic to his mouth and telling Dean Pees "we better find an answer for that" after Davis burned Ray for the third time.
They never really found an answer, but luckily they were good enough in the redzone to hold on for the win at the end.
They now think they've found an answer in players like Elam, Brown and Simon.
If you refer to the thread on the Eric DeCosta interview the point that glaringly stands out is how the speed of these three players heavily influenced their selection over similar players with lessor speed.

Re: What does "Bend but don't break mean"?
This has pretty much been Pees' MO forever. Even when he was the DC for some pretty bad Pats D's they were usually among the top 10 in redzone defense. It's about being willing to give up plays in front of you, as long as you don't let them get behind you. Works best with a great offense that can pile up points, which we hopefully are moving towards.

Re: What does "Bend but don't break mean"?
There's a website called Cold Hard Football Facts which has a stat which they claim captures the essence of the 'bend-but-don't-break' defense, called bendability. It's actually very simple--they take the yards a defense allows and divide it by the points the team allows. Note--not the points the defense allows, all points allowed. They claim that doing it that way penalizes teams for giving up cheap points (pick-6s, kickoff return TDs, etc.). In any case, if an offense drives 80 yards on you, but they only get a FG, the bendability of your defense for that drive was 80/3 = 26.67 yards per point allowed. If they got a TD in the same scenario, it's 80/7 = 11.43 yards per point allowed. Clearly, a higher number is better.
Their bendability rankings for 2012 are here:
I don't know that I put a lot of stock into this being a be-all/end-all metric, but it is interesting. You can be good at this statistic by having a good defense, and/or by minimizing the amount of cheap points you give up. The way it works, a pick-6 (for instance) adds 7 points while adding no yards to the total, so you have zero bendability/infinite scoreability in that case. If your offense fumbles inside the 20 and you subsequently give up a TD, it's not zero bendability, but it's dang close. Nine of the top ten teams in this stat posted winning records for the season... and seven of those made the playoffs.
FWIW... I always thought it was an interesting way of trying to capture the idea in an actual statistic.

Re: What does "Bend but don't break mean"?
I think it's a euphamism for a team with a suspect defense that still manages to win anyway.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have the Diva. Bought it used on kijiji but lucked out with a never touched deck. Definitely feel the difference from my older cambered feelgood. Would recommend it for east coast terrain which can be varied, ice and hard pack, mogully sand and slushy piles. Seems to handle them all well. I make it sound so appealing don't I?
|I really recommend the NS Infinity. It goes anywhere and it will change your riding. I had several friends who were riding and having trouble at times- Tried my Infinity, bought it and loved it. It is lively, not too stiff but not chattery when you go fast. Very responsive. Good luck with whatever you decide. Can you demo anywhere?
On Sale Burton Lip-Stick Blem Snowboard - Womens up to 45% off
145cm maybe?
Going to shamlessly jump onto this thread as I'm looking for advice on a new deck and the OP listed 2 of the ones I'm looking at (NS Infinity and GNU Velvet Guru). For the OP, without knowing your typical ride conditions, I would recommend the GNU over the NS, from what I've read it's more stable, slower (relatively anyway, the Infinity is supposed to charge) and generally more suitable towards a beginner-intermediate rider.
Now for me...been riding for 10+ years but haven't been out much (as in only once or twice a season) in the last 5 years or so. My decks consist of:
143 Santa Cruz (no idea what model it's ~15 years old...fairly certain it's more of a beginner deck)
153 Option Paloma (year sometime between 2006 - 2008)
156 2010 Arbor Push
All are cambered, I've never experienced any other profile. I'm 5'6" 120 lbs, in the east coast so am pretty much always riding in hard-packed/icy conditions, and with pretty much no options other than groomed runs...so find myself always on my Santa Cruz, being the shortest deck (really saddens me that I never get to ride my Arbor Push, which is a dream). Looking to pick me up a new little one to retire the Santa Cruz, my main complaint being that it's slow. The three that I'm considering are the NS Infinity, GNU Velvet Guru, and Rossignol Diva. I cannot find a dealer anywhere by me that sells the Diva and the Infinity is pretty much winning by default at this time. I do like to hit jumps, but no jibs other than the rare box...so maybe it's best I stay away from the Diva?
Any suggestions (even outside of these three) are welcome!
|Also look at the Deja Vu my is just about the same as you but smaller feet. She loves the board and the est bindings makes setting up the board super easy. I think I got it for 145 on gear trade so it was a steal if you are ok with used boards. The other one she was thinking of is the ollie pop but could not find the size she wanted.
Need advice on women's board
I'm looking to get my first board
I am 5'5, 100 lb, 7.5 boots, beginner to intermediate. My riding style is mostly all mountain (can't do the park for now but willing to try it).
So many choices out there and the boards I'm currently looking at are:
GNU Velvet Guru
NS Infinity
Roxy Ollie Pop (past season)
Forum Spinster (past season)
My budget is around or less than $450 and please give me some advice!

Feb. 12, 2012
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Down a set and trailing 4-0 in the second set, freshman Joanna Henderson rallied for what ultimately became the deciding point in three sets, as the Tennessee Lady Vol tennis team upset No. 12 Northwestern, 4-3, Sunday in consolation play of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
"It was a great feeling," Henderson said. "I was getting a bit nervous towards the end, but to do it for the team and have everyone there supporting means a lot. Hopefully, I'm in more situations like this. It was a great win for the team."
The Lady Vols (6-3) locked up the doubles point for the ninth straight time and used singles victories from the three freshmen (Henderson, Sarah Toti and Caitlyn Williams) in their lineup to win their sixth match in the last seven at the Boar's Head Sports Club.
Although Tennessee led 3-1 and never trailed, it appeared to be in Northwestern's (5-3) favor with leads on courts two, three and six.
That's when Henderson made her move.
Falling 6-4 in the first set to Nida Hamilton and trailing 4-0 in the next, Henderson reeled off five straight games to take a 5-4 lead. After Hamilton tied it at five, Henderson closed the set, 7-5.
Meanwhile, Kata Szekely lost in straight sets (6-2, 6-3) to Belinda Niu. After losing her first set 6-2 and trailing 5-2 in her second set, Brynn Boren staged a comeback of her own before falling short in a 7-3 tiebreaker.
With the match tied 3-3, all eyes fell on court six, where the match would be decided in the third set.
The momentum from Henderson's second set carried over, as she jumped out to a 5-0 lead.
The suspense wouldn't end there, however. Hamilton broke serve, held and made it 5-2.
After the changeover, though, Henderson let everyone wearing orange breathe a sigh of relief. With a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 win, her fifth consecutive, the Lady Vols picked up their third win over a Top 12 team (No. 5 Baylor and No. 10 Michigan) and their second of the weekend.
"I'm just so proud of Jo to come through," co-head coach Mike Patrick said. "She just fought tooth-and-nail up and down the line. For a freshman to hang tough in that kind of match and under that kind off pressure is just fantastic. I can't say enough."
Henderson also had a hand in UT's doubles point. Teamed with Szekely, the duo shutout Kate Turvy and Brittany Wowchuk to clinch the early 1-0 lead. Boren and Toti provided the other half of the point, winning their 12th consecutive doubles match, defeating Niu and Hamilton, 8-1.
Leading 1-0, it was Tennessee's two other freshmen in the lineup that stepped up. Caitlyn Williams avoided losing consecutive matches for the first time in her career with a 6-3, 6-2 win.
Northwestern got on the board as No. 26 Kate Turvy notched a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Natalie Pluskota.
Toti, coming off two SEC Freshman of the Week honors, set up the dramatic finish with a 6-1, 6-4 win.
"Our freshmen stood up under pressure against a great opponent," Patrick said. "We lost at the top and we won at the bottom with those three. THey overcame a lot of stuff over here. Northwestern is a great team and I couldn't be more proud."
Coming home with two wins in the National Indoors for the third time in 14 appearances, the Lady Vols will prepare for their first true road matches of the season next weekend in Big Ten country. Friday, UT is back in action at Indiana, and Sunday, the Lady Vols will travel to Ohio State.

PCV line / Oil Catch can
Could anyone confirm that this is the PCV recirc line in which to splice in an oil catch can? Look's like it's possibly the air pump from the crank case and going into the air intake line right before the turbo:
Would be a resource as I am sure many diesel owners want to get a oil catch.
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Anybody know? I figure that line has to be it as it's really the only tube going into the air intake track just before the turbo..
I ordered this bad boy:
Provent 200 Oil Catch Can Diesel
From my research the ProVent 200 is the most efficient catch can out there at 90+% efficiency. Important for turbo diesels.
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Ok cool, I will do a little write up of the install when the catch can comes in.

Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Nice! I was thinking the same spot. Do you remember what size tubing and fittings you used are?
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Zybane, where are you going to route the oil drain line to?
I'd like to admit my ignorance here: I've had many diesels, but have never heard about adding a catch can. What's the benefit?

Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
What a Provent does is in fact remove oil out of that crankcase slurry/vapor coming out of the PCV valve as stated. It has mainly to do with the EGR as these EGR exhaust gasses have soot (particulates) and this soot mixes with the oily vapor now coming in as intake compressed air and 1) clogs the intake plentum 2) drives up EGTs 3) cokes up on the exhaust side of the turbo freezing the needing-to-move vanes and stuck vanes then create over boost 3) cokes up exhaust valves leading to premature wear... (there is more!).
It depends on how aggressive the EGR is set which probably is high as big brother government's EPA has these special standards for light diesel in the USA.
Proper thing to do is eliminate EGR but 1)voids warranty 2) stopping EGR will imbalance th rest of the exhaust system ( DPF, Regen, SCR ) and 3)is unlawful.
My experience with VM Motori (2.8L I4 in a Jeep KJ CRD) here in the USA has bore out some of these horrible symptoms. I had coked up vanes on a turbo rendering it useless. Other KJ CRD owners came up with SEGR so one can shut the EGR but reuse it when SEGR was disconnected. Of course this is for off road use only.
Back then (2005, 2006) ULSD was not even in existence. And sulfur is the main activist for soot formation. LSD and <1000PPM regular D2 was all suppliers had. Do not even think of using Red Dye Diesel(PPM is>5000). And biodiesel needs to be addressed(I will be checking the user's manual for initial recommendations).
My new WK2 Ecodiesel gets delivered Friday the 22nd and I am going to look to install Provent.
Keep an eye on the quality of fuel. ULSD ONLY! EPA rules and laws state emissions system must stay intact for 100,000 miles and States(like the diesel emission rule in California) are going to be checking especially DPF removal and SCR delete.
Re: PCV line / Oil Catch can
I think the only thing sold in the USA is ULSD eh?

A little less than two years ago, word first reached IGN that Nintendo was about to reveal its next home console. We scrambled to discover the details, quickly learning of the controller's second screen, the console's move to HD, and that the publisher intended to launch in 2012. Within weeks, Nintendo confirmed most of what we had heard, and we were off to E3 2011.
Much has changed in that time. Much hasn't. But here we are - less than two weeks away from launch. And there's still plenty we don't know, and much to dig up in the coming days. A lot of people have been asking me for details on what we're doing for the launch: Will there be reviews before launch? Who's doing review X or review Y? What about online? What about Miiverse?
Let me first describe what it's like covering a launch - It's attempting to organize sheer chaos. It's attempting to herd a bunch of cats. It's about reacting versus being proactive.
With that said, here are some of my best answers to some of your most burning questions, and I'll do my best to answer more in your comments. Keep in mind everything and anything is subject to change here, and even now I'm still waiting for answers on some topics. And, yes, some of it is purposefully vague. Not entirely my call on some of this, and to some extent it's me not wanting to overpromise something, or me wanting to preserve a bit of competitive edge.
When are you getting systems?
We should have them this week. What specific day I'm not going to confirm.
What can you show us immediately?
This is the big question. When I have hardware and when I can really talk about it is a big point of discussion between myself and Nintendo. That's nothing new, that's part of the process. But there is a LOT that you guys want answered, and a LOT that we can potentially discuss. But when that happens... I honestly don't know. We want to do things like unboxings and much, much more. When I can tell you, I will.
Who is reviewing X game?
Okay so there are a couple dozen games on deck, but here are a few common answers for you:
- Nintendo Land: Audrey
- New Super Mario Bros. U: Me
- ZombiU: Greg
- Ninja Gaiden III Razor's Edge: Ryan McCaffrey
- Assassin's Creed III: Keza (UK)
- BLOPS II: Anthony
So there are a few of them. I believe that addresses the common questions. Before you light your torches about X not being reviewed by Y, I need you to think about one thing - launches are complex, ever-changing beasts. We're spreading out responsibility as much as possible, to account for last-minute changes and keep everyone, particularly the Nintendo team, free enough to thoroughly look at a specific game, but also take a look at some of the OS/Miiverse content as well. Audrey and myself are coordinating the entire span of this launch, meaning we simply aren't free to handle vast amounts of launch games. That said, we'll still chime in with our thoughts on other games. I think you guys have a good sense of what I think about ZombiU or Nintendo Land already, for example.
Will there be reviews ahead of launch?
That is the plan, yes. I can't tell you specific days, as what I know might change (and it probably will). But, yes, there should be reviews before launch. Like most launches, however, I would expect most games to wait until Sunday, November 18. The same goes for the review of the hardware itself, which will be handled by Nic Vargus.
What games should I buy? What games would you buy?
This is just my current thinking, but were I approaching launch, I'd be looking at a Deluxe Bundle (so that takes care of Nintendo Land) with New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU and probably something like Black Ops II as well. Possibly/probably Scribblenauts.
= = =
I think that covers the basics. Ask some more in the comments and I'll pull interesting ones - that I can answer - into the blog itself.
We're almost there. Brace yourselves.

dreams can be deceiving
January 17, 2005 Leave a comment
When I was growing up, there was no more obvious candidate for hero-saint than the Reverend "Dr." Martin Luther King, Jr.
Gandhi was a close-second — at least in 1970s New York City — but Gandhi wasn't black and he wasn't American, and we desperately needed a black American hero, especially one who decried the use of violence.
Marcus Epstein writes, "The slightest criticism of him or even suggesting that he isn't deserving of a national holiday leads to the usual accusations of racist, fascism, and the rest of the usual left-wing epithets…"
True. And for most of my life, I would have been among the epithetic. To oppose MLK2 was to condone coercive segregation, racial hatred, and violence.
When I first moved to Virginia and learned that the Monday following January 15th was officially Lee-Jackson-King Day, I jerked my knee in the predictable fashion and chalked it up to redneck racist resistance. They just can't move on! That sort of thing.
But even back then, I would have seen the truth in Epstein's conservative-libertarian article, Myths of Martin Luther King, which I assume many of my friends would have dismissed as right-wing fabrication or worse. You see, other than the evidence of plagiarism, which is relatively new to me, or the long history of womanizing, which is what we just expected of such great men as JFK and MLK (although I suspect there was also a little bit of the guilty-liberal-unspoken "those people" sense in MLK's case), all of the evidence for King's outspoken opposition to free markets, his well-known Communist affiliations, his outspoken (well, quietly outspoken, but open nevertheless) advocacy of "democratic socialism" and even his very quiet self-labeled Marxism were all points of pride among the leftists who raised and educated me. These things were even a source of anger at the postmortem mainstreaming image-management that made King look like a gentle, soft and cuddly lover of universal freedom and equality.
There were two sides to the American civil rights movement, roughly aligning with two historical stages. There was what I call the libertarian side and the socialist side, or the rights agenda and the privilege agenda. To grasp the distinction and conflation it's useful to look at the term "civil rights" — which means the rights of the citizen, an individual under the State. It does not mean individual liberty or natural rights, nor any of these "abstract freedoms" as MLK might have called them: "[The] Negro today is not struggling for some abstract, vague rights, but for concrete improvement in his way of life." Not liberal freedoms: socialist "freedoms". Not negative rights — the freedom from coercion — but artificial, positive so-called rights. Before the middle third of the 20th century, black Americans were fighting for the real-world consequences of abstract rights: an end to persecution by the State and the State-sanctioned (or ignored) private coercion perpetrated against them. I've known many people to confront my libertarianism with the history of blacks in America, which as far as I'm concerned reveals either their complete historical illiteracy or unpardonable intellectual laziness. There is nothing in the ugly history of race in America that isn't the direct or indirect result of institutionalized coercion. The civil rights movement went directly from telling government "Leave us alone!" to "Take care of us!"
Who knows what's behind this shift. One definite factor, as I see it, is the fact that while the labor-union Left fought for racial privilege for whites and against blacks, the Communists and Establishment Left reached out to blacks on civil-libertarian grounds, establishing a historical and emotional link between protection of blacks' liberties with state centralization and economic interventionism.
Zora Neale Hurston is celebrated by the African-American Left for her literary works, but her individualist "Old Right" politics are treated as an embarrassment to avoid mentioning in public.
And of course, any contemporary free-market black writers are vilified as sell-out Uncle Tom race-traitors. This makes Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams personal heroes of mine, whatever conservatism of theirs I might disagree with.
They could do 100 times as much for "concrete improvement in [the Negro's] way of life" than has been done by the American civil rights movement.
But we won't be seeing national holidays for any of these heroes.
Martin Luther King used civil disobedience and nonviolent protest to fight oppressive government. For this, I continue to consider him heroic. But there was much more to him than that, some of it quite ugly. His goals were far-reaching and very destructive: grow the State, kill off capitalism and erode freedom in the name of freedom.
His economic vision was childish, his positive political agenda was despicable, and, as Epstein notes, if we are really to judge a man "by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin" then it seems to me that any honest, decent person would have to give King the thumbs-down.

Columnist Todd Manzi describes why left-wing media bias is advantageous to liberals in terms of marketing principles, and why new conservative media outlets are ineffective at targeting the masses.
Some people think media bias is not a fact, but merely a debatable opinion. These people are quick to point out that conservatives have venues for their ideas: talk radio, the Internet, Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.
But from a marketing perspective, liberals hold the advantage.
Consider three target audiences: passionate liberals, passionate conservatives and normal people who vote. Those of us who fall in one of the first two groups, battle for market share of the third group. We want our ideas embraced. We want our candidates elected....
The target audience - people who swing elections and influence policy because of their answers to public opinion polls - is reached through the mainstream media. These people spend a few minutes with the newspaper and catch their local news on television.
More powerful than Rush Limbaugh?
Associated Press Writer Deb Riechmann has more influence over public opinion polls than Rush Limbaugh does. Riechmann's dispatches are printed in tens of millions of newspapers throughout the country and because she covers President Bush, her stories often get television coverage as well.
Liberally biased Riechmann is pawned off as news, but it is understood that conservatively biased Limbaugh is presenting commentary. When Riechmann packaged Cindy Sheehan sympathetically, and covered President Bush harshly, it made an impact with the primary target audience that influences public opinion polls.

Book TV/CSPAN II
One of the featured authors this weekend was John Edgar Wideman, "Saving a Life...," questioning the court-martial of Louis Till. I think it was in the Q and A, the author spoke of the burial in some separate section of a (military) cemetery, in France (curiously not even Italy, prompting my Findagrave search.)
He sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I wonder what's going on? Would we repatriate in these circumstances? I suppose I should buy the book, maybe all the answers are there.
It seemed like I should tell someone with Findagrave, and I found your link. No need to reply to me, I don't even know how I would get a reply. But I thought you would want to explore this if you haven't already. How kind of you to sponsor this memorial and remember this veteran.

Wilfred Owens
My interest in WWI was sparked by my Grandfather's involvement in it. I later chose that landmark war for a great deal of study and the fulfillment of a writing requirement in the US Army Command & General Staff Officer's Course at the Command & General Staff College, Ft Leavenworth.
I have met and served with many soldiers whom were devoutly religious before combat and became extremely angry with God during combat and stayed that way for a long time after combat (me included). I've even heard of one refering to God as that meddling, sadistic old geezer on the throne. However, I've never met a single soldier or marine in over 31 years and 5 wars that completely broke their faith and quit believing in the Almighty. Eventually, all made their peace with themselves and God (me included) within a short period of time or over the course of several years. If Wilfred was KIAed before he could do that, my prayers won't hurt him.

Ref: Political terms & War
If you are a college professor and politically neutral, times have changed radically for the better since I was a student. History Professors, in particular, were very politically active and tended to be so far left as to make devout communists look and sound moderate. I found it slightly amusing that you mentioned the 2 Bush's and Clinton. Their wars weren't history to me. I fought in them and they were a significant part of my life, as well as that of my soldiers. Yet none of those Presidents, even Clinton (who was too cowardly to wage war after Al Qaeda declared it on the USA and only resorted to war in Bosnia because he needed a smoke screen during the Monica/ Blue Dress Scandal), ever re-invented a war in progress with the intent of waiving a white flag, disgracing those who fought, and running for home like my last, and worst, Commander-in-Chief, Obama. I spent the majority of my life in a US Army or Marine uniform and being politically neutral by law, but I judge Presidents by how they wage war and treat those under them who are forced to fight wars. As such, the Democrats/ liberals have proven to me to be extremely unimpressive and I would not vote for any of them for high office during a time of war. Are my thoughts and comments meant to provoke you or anger you? Certainly not. I, and my bretheren, protected and maintained your right to say and think anything you see fit. Exercise it as often as you see fit. I am pleased that Verdun and Normandy brought you face to face with the ugly side of the Profession of Arms. Too many glorify it.
I live within 1 county of Stetson so we've lived in the same Homeland.

Newcastle will not lose strike pairing Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba to 2013 African Cup of Nations duty in January after Senegal failed to qualify for the tournament.
It will be a relief for Alan Pardew who faced the prospect of losing both of his main strikers for up to six weeks in January and February especially with only Shola Ameobi and Spanish misfit Xisco the only other strikers at the club.
However it is not all good news for the Magpies as they will be without Ivory Coast enforcer Cheik Tiote for a few weeks but the recent arrival of Vurnon Anita which has strengthened an already solid central unit.
The African Cup of Nations decider between Senegal and Ivory Coast was called off in controversial circumstances on Saturday with Ivory Coast leading 2-0 and 6-2 on aggregate.
The decision to award the visitors a penalty in the 76th minute, which Didier Drogba converted after his opener, sparked crowd trouble.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal will lose the services of Ivorian forward Gervinho while Manchester City face losing brothers Yaya and Kolo Toure to the tournament.
Nigeria have qualified for the competition thanks to goals from John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses which secured a decisive 8-3 aggregate win over Liberia and West Ham will lose Modibo Maiga after he helped Mali qualify over Botswana.
Fulham's Mahamadou Diarra and Queens Park Rangers midfielder Samba Diakite could also be involved in the 6 week tournament that takes place in South Africa at the beginning of 2013.

trailer wiring problem
I was unhooking the trailer as my helper started to pull away, and the only thing left hooked was the wiring. I grabbed the wires as fast as I could, but only got the wires, not the plug. Now the lights don't work when plugged in. I unhooked the 4-flat to round 6 adapter, tried plugging the 4 flat into the other receiver, but no lights either. I am assuming I loosened the wires in the 4-flat plug assembly. Does this sound correct? I think my only solution is to cut the wires and splice a new 4 plug on...
I wouldn't be so worried about this, but it isn't my trailer!!
i just picked a nifty device up at a local wallmart about a month ago. Its a test plug that u plug into the 4 flat with leds to check to see if its the truck wiring or the trailer. Runs about 3 dollars

While Hugo has been getting his fill of Centrino 2 today (expect the veritable bum's rush imminently - I can see the admin section!) I was treated to a rather more amiable look at Rock's impressive takes on the new platform at a go-karting event yesterday in Greenwich.
Fresh from the purchase by Stone, Rock creator the irrepressible (and surprisingly quick) Nick Boardman showed us four new models pitched right across the laptop landscape.
At the ultra-high end we have the 'Xtreme 780' (top left), a Core 2 Duo Extreme X9100 based beast with a 17in WUXGA X glass LCD and nVidia GeForce Go 9800M GTX graphics along with a potential 8GB of DDR3 RAM and selection of HDD sizes up to 500GB. At 3.8Kg you aren't going to be taking it anywhere other than a LAN party, but then that's kinda the point...
Sticking with gaming we also have the 'Xtreme 620' (top right), a slightly more sedate 15.4 incher with Core 2 Extreme T9500 CPU and GeForce Go 9800M GT graphics. Again up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM can be specified (you nutters) and there are 250GB and 500GB HDD options.
We move into more traditional laptop spaces with the 'Pegasus 520' (above left), another 15.4in machine which can also handle an Extreme T9500 processor along with nVidia's brand spanking new midrange GeForce 9600M GT 1GB graphics card.
Incidentally, all three of these machines offer Blu-ray drives and the Centrino 2 benefits of a 1066MHz FSB, Wireless N and HDMI ports - just in case you were the doubtful type.
Lastly, the Pegasus 320 (above right) is a 13.3in WXGA semi-portable 2.15Kg machine packing surprising oomph a T9500 CPU, dedicated GeForce 9300M GS 256GB GPU, up to 4GB RAM and either a 500GB 5,400rpm or 250GB 7,200rpm laptop. Which all-in-all gives you a good shot at being the quickest exec in the airport lounge.
All models will ship in August with pricing gradients still to be confirmed.

I so like my new nose profile and has given me more confidence. Problems are as described above.
I wish I had had my op sooner. I did it to get rid of a slight bump I had on my nose froma childhood accident. The doctor recommended to shorthen my nose which was great.I had a nose op 3 months ago to remove a small bump from the left hand side and shorten my nose. I'm happy with the profile of my nose but the bump has slightly re-appeared - is that normal? surgeon did say bones have memories? however my concern is the right hand side (which was normal before surgery) has a boney type bump from underneath the eye to side of of nose (which is raised) - I discussed it with the surgeon after a month and he siad it was because he moved my nose slightly, he asked me to message it which I have but its still there after 2 months. He did say he would file it down if need be - is that normal and will that not damage the bone?? should he not re-break and re-set?

While the Vikings play at Mall of America Field, their fans will gather there this year as well. The Vikings announced Tuesday that the annual team draft party will be moved from Winter Park to the Mall of America.
The event will get underway at 4 p.m. April 26 and continue until the end of the first round of the draft. While the Vikings are scheduled to be on the clock for their first-round pick presumably within a couple of minutes of the draft – Indianapolis will likely have Andrew Luck signed by the April 26 start of draft weekend and the Redskins will have Robert Griffin III all but locked up as their pick when the draft gets underway – there is a chance the Vikings might get bold and try to move up into the end of the first round in the event that a player they covet drops.
History has told us that fans and the draft party have created plenty of memories. There was the giddiness of the Adrian Peterson selection in 2007. There was the elderly woman showing Mike Tice she thought he was No. 1 (just not with the finger typically associated with the "We're No. 1" chant). There was the vociferous booing of Tice when he drafted Kevin Williams after Vikings play-by-play announcer Paul Allen had the crowd chanting, "Suggs! Suggs! Suggs!" with the expectation that the Vikings would draft talented DE Terrell Suggs. There was the year the clock ran out and two teams jumped in front of the Vikings. There was the stunned silence – with a few scattered screams of "Boo!" and "Who?" when the Vikings replaced Randy Moss with Troy Williamson. There was Jared Allen showing up with a cowboy hat partially covering his mullet promising to get 320-pound Pat Williams into a pair of tight-fitting jeans.
The moments are ones that the tens of thousands of fans that have attended draft parties have enjoyed over the years, but, this time around, the revelry will take place in Minneapolis at the site of Vikings games.
The Vikings radio broadcast team of Allen and Notre Dame's favorite son, Pete Bercich, will be on hand to emcee the event. The festivities will include interactive games, food and beverage concessions and several current and former Vikings signing autographs to benefit the Vikings Children's Fund.
General admission tickets are $10 (free to season ticket holders) and seating in the V.I.P. section is $75. Children 5 and under are given free admittance to the general admission section. For those looking for advance tickets, they are available at the team's website.
As things currently stand, fans will be encouraged to show up early, since they sit at No. 3 in the draft pecking order and the first two picks have been locked and loaded for the last month. Vikings fans have had a ton of memories associated with the draft and 2012 will add to that scrapbook of favorite moments. But this time, it will happen at a different venue.

UPDATE 1-Motor racing-Williams seeks to revive fortunes with Martini
By Keith Weir
LONDON, March 6 (Reuters) - Former champion Formula One team Williams believes a new sponsorship deal with Italian drinks brand Martini can help to make it competitive again after a dismal season in 2013.
The team will race under the Williams Martini name in a new predominantly white car with distinctive blue and red stripes as part of a multi-year agreement.
The sponsorship has added to a mood of optimism that Williams is on the way back after a strong showing from new driver Felipe Massa in pre-season testing.
"It's a nice car, nice design," the Brazilian Massa said at a launch event in west London on Thursday.
"I'm happy to have the most beautiful car on the track. I hope it's as quick, consistent and reliable as it is beautiful," added the former Ferrari driver.
Formula One will enter a new era when the season begins in Australia on March 16. The sport has ditched the old V8 engines and will now have turbocharged V6 units with energy recovery systems in the biggest technical upheaval for years.
Rivals see a chance to break Red Bull's stranglehold on the sport as engineers grapple with the changes. Continuación...

Craving something a little different for dinner? But after a long day at work, who wants to try something complicated?
There's nothing like finding a new recipe. But when you just got home, you don't want dinner to make your work day seem longer.
When trying a new dinner recipe during the work week, simple is better.
If you think Ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese are not related, think again.
Marco Polo, a merchant from Venice, traveled to China in 1274. By that time, the Chinese had a well-established pasta cuisine. That is probably surprising to you, but I taught my students that Marco brought pasta from China to Italy thus we assume all pasta to be Italian.
An Easter tradition for most families is coloring Easter eggs. Sometimes they are a plain color and sometimes they can be pretty creative.
But after you spend so much time decorating the eggs, what do you do with them when Easter's over?
Being French Canadian on my Dad's side, I always have been attracted to the French language. In high school, I took two years of French and surprisingly enough, I actually remember more than "oui" and "bonjour."
For the monthly Recipe Roundup, I'm happy to research reader's request. This time in prompted a search for Dreamsicle Fudge. I
In case some of you haven't heard of a Dreamsicles, they are a frozen ice cream treat, similar to a Fudgecicle. It is vanilla ice cream with orange sherbet on the outside. I have never had this type of fudge, but it sounds very good.
One of the best things about the holidays is getting together with family and sitting around a table for a meal.
Easter is one of those holidays.
Easter meals usually include some kind of ham, sides and in my family there always are deviled eggs.
It's March Madness in Kentucky and that means a basketball game is showing in every office breakroom and people are gathered together to cheer on their favorite teams.
Typical game day foods consist of pizza, wings, chips, multiple dips, nachos and all sorts of snacks. But sometimes it's good to go beyond the norm for your game day snack.
One year for Christmas, Dad bought my Mom a waffle maker, a Sunbeam waffle maker with removable grids and two other grids for grilling sandwiches or frying bacon or sausage. It had a small dish to catch drippings.
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day is a little harder these days than it used to be for me.
In my family, we had our own St. Patrick. My dad, named Pat, used to consider this his day. For years, we bought him cards and did special things for him on March 17.
If you haven't looked at the calendar or haven't noticed green flags flying everywhere, today is St. Patrick's Day. Let the leprechaun in you pinch those who are not wearing green.
Just tonight, I noticed spring is around the corner. A gentleman in Glendale had his garden plowed maybe in hopes of planting potatoes today.

Pantone-Esque Metal Swatches Detail How A Watch Works [Pics]
Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet hired artist Krzysztof J. Lukasik to create a gift for clients that showed the various elements of the movement.
A $30,000 luxury watch has a lot going on inside, and Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet wanted their clients to learn more about their purchase. Gizmodo reports that the artist Krzysztof J. Lukasik was hired to create a special object that revealed the inner workings of the skeleton watch.
Lukasik created 19 metal chips, each one showing how the moving elements of a skeleton watch work together. If you held all the chips together on your wrist, it would look like the face of a skeleton watch, and the chips enable you to 'peel' back the watch layer by layer.
The object was created as a gift for Audemars Piguet's clients and could also be used as a teaching tool in the watchmaking industry. Lukasik writes:
The project can be seen as a hybrid between the Pantone colour guide and the Audemars Piguet skeleton watch. Its nineteen steel slices, cut and engraved with a laser, show the various elements that make up the 3120 iconic movement of the AP watch with their names in French and a short text explaining how each element works.

Murray's return to Boston gives Bruins a boost
By Mike Brehm, USA TODAY
Faced with a going-nowhere contract stalemate with Jason
Allison, the Boston Bruins managed to make some good pickups when they got Jozef
Stumpel and Glen Murray back from the Los Angeles Kings in an Oct. 24 trade.
But the former Bruins weren't quite putting up the hoped-for
point totals in their second stint with the team.
Murray solved that in two games. After being shut out in
a 3-2 win against Ottawa, Murray scored three goals and had five assists, with
a plus 7 rating, to win USA TODAY's Impact Player of the Week.
His five points (two goals and three assists) in a 7-1
win against Florida were a career high. He followed that with a goal and two
assists in a 5-4 win against Tampa Bay. He set up Rob Zamuner's short-handed
tying goal and scored the winner in overtime. He also had a game-winner in the
Florida game.
That gave Boston the fourth and fifth victories of a winning
streak that ended Monday.
Murray, who had 11 points in nine games with Los Angeles
at the beginning of the season, now has 21 points in 30 games with the Bruins.
His 32 points are good for third on the team, and his plus 9 rating is tied
for first.

2013 ford focus reliability
Hi guys,
I am very interested in the new ford focus. But all the talk about the transmission grinding itself up has got me worried. How do you guys feel the new focus will last long term? Should I wait until next years model? How much would a new clutch cost?
I really like the luxury appeal of the car and how it looks.
Thank you,
I only have 350 miles on my 2013, so obviously I can't comment on reliability yet. I will say the transmission is interesting. You definitely have to change your expectations some from a regular automatic. It definitely feels like a manual. If you were in the passenger seat and closed your eyes, you would think the driver was working a manual transmission - complete with a few studders at very low power and some engine braking at times when you get off the gas (at least in sport mode). Having said that, I don't find it unpleasant or bothersome, just different from what we have become used to over the last 30 years.
that all happened when mine was new it takes a while for the clutches to break in. but right now I have 3k miles on mine and it isn't much different from a regular automatic. As for reliability only time well tell I don't think anyone really has a ton of miles on a mk3 yet.
no ones having issues with the 5 spds
We have two with about 2000 miles each. They are driving well and we are not concerned about reliability. They definitely improve with break-in and mileage. Terrific design, quality and dynamics. And good value.
I had my 2013 Titanium for a month now. 2200 miles later I am pleased. No issues other than a slightly buggy MFT. But that'll eventually get fixed. The new TSB is out to fix it. So I shall give that a try. But really I get hit by MFT going stupid like once every 1-2 weeks so not bad
Lovin' mine
Will have had mine for two weeks on Sunday. almost 500 miles in and must say that I have had no issues. The only issues is trying to use voice commands when trying to call someone. The auto transmission takes some getting use to, but I am getting accustomed to it. I have been busy working long hours and 6 days a week so I am awaiting a break so I can get more familiar with all the buttons and layout.
The thing to remember is typically happy customers don't post as much as dissatisfied customers.
I've got 27,000 miles on my 2012 SE, and can't think of any problems I've had--certainly nothing that falls into the "reliability" category. It's been a pleasure to own and drive so far. One caveat--mine is a 5-speed so I don't know about the auto transmission. But really, why would you NOT buy the manual anyway?
36 mile commute in all stop and go traffic - Manual is no fun.

31 million reasons for reshoring
Massive recalls by Mattel and Mcdonald's, among others, have a role to play in North America's reshoring revival.
A shrinking wage gap, intellectual property concerns, and domestic productivity gains are three factors many give for the North American reshoring resurgence, but an injection molder just gave me 31 million. Actually, he gave me two (the product safety hubbubs following massive 2007 and 2010 recalls by Mattel and McDonald's) but they involved 19 million toys and 12 million glasses sourced from China.
Mattel's 2007 recall, involving lead paint on die-cast cars and too-powerful magnets, was followed three years later by a 2010 McDonald's recall of 12-million Shrek-themed glasses, which had trace amounts of the heavy metal, cadmium. More than a few outlets took the opportunity to dub the kid's menu freebies as, you guessed it, "Unhappy Meals."
I'm currently working on a feature for the March issue of Plastics Technology covering the reshoring trend in manufacturing and its specific impacts on the plastics processing industry.
The injection molder I spoke with said a not-insignificant portion of the reshoring work his shop has received has come from customers concerned about the validity of the material certifications on their products. Beyond quality (think about the mechanical properties of mixed scrap vs. virgin resins), the concerns come down to liability and the safety of sensitive products.
Recalls, and the liability around them, are an ever-present issue for retailers and OEMs (there have been three recalls so far today), but that doesn't mean companies won't do everything they can to avoid them, including revamping entire supply chains.

Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Jude Law To Star In Asinine-Sounding Movie
Is that Sienna Miller in your shorts or are you just happy to see me? Here's Jude Law on the beach in Florida, seeming not to mind cameras in his face. He's set to appear in a sci-fi movie called "Repossession Rambo", which is the novel he's reading there. Jude will star alongside Forest Whitaker and Liev Schrieber in a futuristic tale of a guy who has a heart transplant but then goes on the run when they want to repo it. Well, that's a stupid future! I'm sure there's circumstances for how it got to be that way. But that's really dumb. What's the point? It's been used twice! It's not like a secondhand sofa. You don't want that passed around. Also, get an iPod. It's 2008.
More photos of Jude Law relaxing on the beach are after the jump.

Husband discovered this morning, when he tried to take a shower, that we have suffered another loss from the lightning strike yesterday afternoon. It looks as though the bolt and ensuing power spike scrambled the circuit board of our hot water heater.
I'm calling the homeowner's insurance people today in the hopes that I can file a claim. Between the TiVo, the garage door opener and the boiler, we're WAY past our deductable.
Are lightning strkies considered "acts of God"?

How to Be a Minister
To be a minister of the church is to be a very important part of religion, conventional and unconventional (a la the Universal Life Church Ministries) alike. To get ordained as a minister means that you are a religious leader, one who teaches about the morality in religion as well as performs religious duties. For some, being a minister is also to accept a calling from God and to do His services.
There are several ways to get ordained in order to become a minister. Although it depends on the denomination, most require that to be a minister you must have a sense of calling. Once you feel you have received the calling, an education is required in order to get ordained. You can go to a seminary, a theological college, or a divinity school (depending on what denomination you are a member of) to become educated in theology in order to become a minister. Once you finish with your education it is time to get ordained. This is done by being called for your ordination by church leaders. This is usually how the process is usually done in conventional religions. It is possible to get ordained online as well, if you are open to the idea of unconventional religions like the Universal Life Church, which allows you to get ordained online. The process in getting ordained online is much easier, as the ULC does not discriminate against anyone and their ordination process doesn't require lengthy and expensive theological training. Anyone from any denomination – from any gender – can get ordained online by the Universal Life Church.
An ordained minister has several duties. They provide leadership and religious strength to their congregation and oversee their congregation's religious worship. They are also tasked with ordaining other ministers as well as confirming younger persons as members of the church. Ministers also conduct marriage ceremonies, memorial services, and funerals. Most ministers are obliged to conduct all these matters when duty calls, however if you are ordained online through the Universal Life Church, you will generally perform marriage ceremonies from friends or family members, but can choose when you want to perform these services.
The role of the minister is a very important one in both the religious community and the community as a whole. The community looks up to the minister for religious leadership, and in return the minister provides religious strength as well as important duties for the community (like the aforementioned services). The Universal Life Church minister is also expected to spread its mantras:
"We are all children of the same universe" and "Do only that which is right"

This paper introduces linear models (LM), generalized linear models (GLM), and generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) for analyzing performance of face recognition algorithms. These three statistical techniques are applied to analyzing the affect of subject attributes on performance. To support this analysis, subject covariate data were collected on 1,072 pairs of FERET images corresponding to 1,072 human subjects in order to study how these covariates influence the identification and verification performance of standard face recognition algorithms. Up to 11 factors are included in these studies: race (white, asian, black, or other), gender, age (young or old), glasses (present or absent), facial hair (present or absent), bangs (present or absent), mouth closed or other), eyes (open or other), complexion (clear or other), makeup (present or absent), and expression (neutral or other). Linear models are used to relate similarity scores to subject covariates for a standard Principle Components Analysis (PCA)algorithm, an Interpersonal Image Difference Classifier (IIDC) and an Elastic Bunch Graph Matching (EBGM) algorithm. A generalized linear model is used to predict probability of rank one recognition for the same set of algorithms. Finally, a generalized linear mixed model is used to predict the probability of correct verification for the PCA algorithm at different false acceptance rates. Two questions underly these studies. First, can LMs, GLMs, and GLMMs be successfully to analyzing face recognition performance? Second, what factors or combinations of subject factors make automated face recognition difficult? The answer to the first question is yes. The second question is answered in this paper.Report Number:

Marco Roncalli on His Great-Uncle, Blessed John XXIII
The great-nephew of the soon-to-be canonized pope will publish a new book on his famous relative, in time for the April 27 ceremony in Rome.
| Posted 11/8/13 at 4:00 PM
Marco Roncalli is the great-nephew of soon-to-be-canonized Blessed Pope John XXIII, Angelo Roncalli.
He is also the author of Giovanni XXIII — Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli: Una Vita Nella Storia (John XXIII — Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli: A Life in History) and the editor of correspondence from 1933-1962 between John XXIII, Loris Francesco Capovilla, John XXXIII's secretary, and Giuseppe De Luca, a close friend of the Pope.
Roncalli shared his views on the life and personality of John XXIII in this email interview with the Register, given in October. He has a new book on his great-uncle coming out next year in time for the April 27 canonization.
What kind of a man was Angelo Roncalli? Was he a simple country priest or someone more complex?
He has certainly been a complex figure, much more complex than the cliché of the "Good Pope." His path in life was complex, rich and spiritual, like the example he gave through his Christian virtues, delineated in the history of mankind. His complexity was also reflected throughout his life because he was able to talk face-to-face with God in prayer, but also to find him in the work and affairs of mankind. And that complexity also derived from positive influences on him from important figures: I think of the 10 years when he was secretary to a great bishop, Giacomo Maria Radini Tedeschi, as well as complex situations he experienced [as a Vatican diplomat] in Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and France.
Despite this, the complexity never undermined his genuine, authentic simplicity — that he was cloaked in humility, as one reads in his autobiography, Journal of a Soul, his spiritual notebook, and as he expressed in so many words, gestures and actions that shine like stars in his life.
How was his decision to call the Second Vatican Council consistent with his character?
John XXIII knew the history of the Church. He had studied the apostolic visit of St. Charles [Borromeo] to Bergamo [in 1575], knew the synodal instruments, and, during his time in the East, he became familiar with the history of the ecumenical councils, the first eight in particular — the five Lateran Councils and Trent.
He knew, above all, that a council was the instrument for solving problems of which he was aware, as priest and pastor. This was emphasized by the pastoral intention of the [Second Vatican] Council, delineated by three aspects: the opening of the Church to the modern world, the reconstruction of unity among Christians and the theme of justice and peace.
But the seeds of the Council were inside him. His wish for a council was a personal decision, expressed immediately after the papal election. His personal secretary, Msgr. Loris Capovilla, recalled the Pope had told him of the idea: "The first time was on Oct. 30, 1958, 48 hours after his election."
It's true that the idea had already been discussed among other Churchmen, cardinals and even popes. But the intention of Pope John was for another council. He wanted to rejuvenate the Church (to him, it was "not a museum, but always a garden"), to be able to respond to the questions piling up on his desk, to start the restoration of Christian unity, to give voice to the universality of the Church, to shore up the exercise of episcopal collegiality, to discern the "signs of the times."
He didn't have to invent anything revolutionary. As a student of history, he knew that the most suitable instrument is always present in the dynamics of the history of the Church.
What are the key characteristics of Pope Francis that link him to Pope John XXIII?
I was in St. Peter's Square when Jorge Bergoglio came out for the first time onto the loggia after the white smoke. And, after his unique blessing addressed to "all men and women of goodwill," I immediately had the feeling that, in his actions and in his words, there was something to evoke the figure of John XXIII.
After that first assurance that evening, in the embrace of the colonnade, other comparisons would follow, always in greater numbers, including the pronunciations of distinguished cardinals that came thick and fast. There was Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, president of CEI [the Italian bishops' conference], who said he saw in Francis the "style, simplicity, goodness, but also the ability to govern, of John XXIII."
There was African Cardinal Robert Sarah, president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum: "Pope Francis is a good figure like Pope Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli." There was Cardinal Joseph Zen of China and Hong Kong, who said that "when people know Francis, they will love him as they loved John XXIII."
Other cardinals have also agreed on the comparison, such as the former secretary of Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. And speaking of secretaries of popes, the key test came from Archbishop Capovilla: He has already been reported as saying several times that Francis reminds him a lot — even in his physical traits — of "his" John XXIII, who, almost at the same moment of the election, also took the key word "mercy" as his point of departure and immediately called his Petrine ministry a service — the two emerging leitmotifs.
What are your views on John XXIII's canonization? What examples or anecdotes best demonstrate his holiness?
Pope Francis, in his words and deeds, has so far revealed the most creative "reception" of the Council, and not by chance pro gratia did he make further investigation [into miracles] unnecessary, further unlocking a process that [Karol] Wojtyla had already unlocked with John XXIII's beatification.
For millions of people, this is "good news," but for those who were close to Angelo Roncalli, or have known the family well, it was "confirmation" of what was seen over time: an everyday holiness lived in normality. If you reread a synthesis of the life of John XXIII, as you will see in my upcoming book that will be published in Italy next year by Edizioni San Paolo, one uncovers not only his experience of holiness, but also the universal virtues that he delineated.
Throughout his whole life, Roncalli tried to become a saint, the leitmotif he constantly returns to in his writings. Year after year, he discovers what matters is the substance needed to become a saint; it's not about mimicking other figures, but achieving a degree that is possible for him. Also, as Pope, he once wrote: "Since everyone calls me Holy Father, as if this was my first title, well, then I must, and I want to be him for real."
I also believe that his was primarily a "public holiness," taking time to help make clear to people the real value of life and what is conducive to their salvation. And this can also be seen in that recognition bestowed on him by Pope Francis, which serves not him [John XXIII], but is inviting us to follow "a shining light for the journey ahead of us," to live with the goal of reachable holiness, also aware of another thing: That if the virtues are human exercises, the shaping of holiness, including that of Pope John, must be left to God.
