Epic: Everything I dreamed of and more!!!!!!!!: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by joyy7403
Overall Member Rating
Epic: Everything I dreamed of and more!!!!!!!!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
First, the attitude of the crew when we arrived on the ship. They had just gotten through leaving Cozumel 8 hours late, had to listen to grumpy people about missing flights and trying to get ready for the next group of cruisers. We were greeted with smiles and the cheerfulness of a brand new crew ready to take care of us. Our room steward, Analyn, learned our names and cabin number the first time we met her. She was eager to make our trip as comfortable as possible and always was smiling during her long days. Thank you, Analyn, for the wonderful job you did for us. Down the hall we met another room steward named Marta. She wasn't ours, but she and I made friends quickly and had a lot of laughs together, many at my expense. Thank you, Marta, for enjoying your job and making me More laugh!
The food was excellent no matter where we ate. The restaurants we didn't get to are The Epic Club (only villas allowed), Shanghai's, Wasabi, & Cagney's. I tried things that I have never eaten and everything was delicious. (Except the liver pate, I couldn't stomach that). The servers in the restaurants were exceptional. Jonalyn in the Mahattan Room, Marlon in Taste, & Norrbere (I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong!) at the Waves Bar, taking great care of us on the pool deck. In the Garden Cafe I met Jinky, a very sweet young lady who has a heart of gold. I hope to keep in touch with her and watch her future unfold.
I love the small venues! Fat Cats, Headliners, and the smaller theater were wonderful! I believe they felt more personal and cozy. We didn't know we were there with 4200 other people. The one thing I didn't like was having to walk through the smoky casino. I didn't keep this to myself to wait to post it here, I did speak to Richard, our Asst. Hotel Director about my complaint. He explained to me what they were trying to do to fix this to satify the smokers and nonsmokers.
Yes, the ship is large. There is a lot of walking, but as much as we ate, the walking didn't hurt us a bit. We always found chairs on the pool deck somewhere. There were always tables available in the Garden Cafe whenever we were there. Spice H2O was the best place to relax and watch a U2 concert. There were always movies or something on the big screen in the Atrium. Later in the day we found this incredible singer in the Atrium. I don't remember her name, but she is fantastic! The guys in Howl at the Moon were amazing! How they know so many songs is beyond me. Oops, getting off topic here. The ship is very large, but there were times we found it so empty that we wondered where all the people were hiding!
Last, but not least, the officers are the best. On the last night of our 14 day cruise, they had a reception for all of us b2b'ers. Captain Vorren is a very gracious man, and really appreciated us cruising with him. Denis, our hotel director, was wonderful. He has a lot of pressure on him to keep everything running, but he was always smiling and ready to chat anytime we saw him. Thank you, Denis, for taking such wonderful care of us and making our cruise so memorable. Our cruise director, Paul, is a very energetic and funny guy. He is always on the run (I mean literally!) from place to place, doing everything to make sure everyone is having fun. He always had time to stop and chat, no matter how fast he was moving. Thank you, Paul, we had a wonderful time!
My last observation is, talking to the crew and the officers, we got a feeling that we were there to make THEIR cruise more enjoyable. We felt so welcome, so appreciated, and now so ready to go back & cruise again!!! Less

Alpacas or Miniature Horses?
Started by mama123 , Dec 27 2012 07:38 PM

Posted 27 December 2012 - 07:38 PM
Hi there
I am looking for some experienced owners to give a little advice.
I have a 2.5 acre property. I am looking at fencing off an acre and dividing it into half for grazing. We intend on rotating the animals between the two paddocks (half acre each) and on occasion will let them come onto the other 1.5 acres.
We are completely inexperienced. I have been doing some research (google ) but have yet to go around to different breeders to speak with them. I was also thinking I should talk to a vet to double check what I've been told by the breeders afterwards before making my decision.
So far I would like to know if this sounds reasonable on the size of land we have to offer. I was considering 2 miniature horses or perhaps 4 alpaca? I would also like to know (roughly) how much per week they end up costing.
I am in Queensland.
Thanks so much!

Unfortunately you can't just change the network who owns the rights to

The whole point of my post was so that I didnt have to watch the
olympics on TV, also to test a networking theory, and use m0n0wall all

If you are anyone else out there can help, I would greatly appreciate

Speaker - Michael Peroutka - Co-founder of Institute on the Constitution (IOTC)
A Christian and an attorney, Michael Anthony Peroutka is co-founder of Institute on the Constitution (IOTC), headquartered in Pasadena, Maryland. He is a graduate of Loyola College (now University) in Maryland and University of Baltimore School of Law.
Discovering that the teaching of the law in America had been perverted away from its original design, Michael determined to investigate America's founding and the roots of our law, in English Common Law and the Bible. This led to the founding of Institute on the Constitution, which is an educational outreach of the law firm of Peroutka and Peroutka, also in Pasadena, Maryland. IOTC presents the real view—the founders' view—which is the American view of law and government.
The Constitution Party's candidate for President in 2004, Michael had a platform which sought to honor God, protect the family, and restore the Republic. The platform came to be known as "The American View of Law and Government," and inspired the name of his website, TheAmericanView.com. IOTC teaches that American view:
•There is a God, the God of the Bible.
•Our rights come from Him.
•The purpose of civil government is to secure our God-given rights.
•There is a God, the God of the Bible.
•Our rights come from Him.
•The purpose of civil government is to secure our God-given rights.
Michael and Senior Instructor, Pastor David Whitney, travel around the country, graduating classes from IOTC's course on the United States Constitution, in addition to teaching classes in IOTC's Pasadena, Maryland classroom. Under their instruction, those who take the course become very familiar with the words, meaning and purpose of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Biblical principles on which those founding documents are based. IOTC teaches the only known course on the Maryland Constitution, and a course on the lawful duty and role of the Jury.

I Want My Politics A La Carte
In America, we're ticked off because our TV cable is bundled instead of a la carte.
We sign up for cable and we have to take the whole bundle. Some of the stations we like, others we don't, but they're all thrown in there together.
What we want is a la carte.
We want to pick and choose.
I want some of this, and a little of that, and none of that stuff over there.
It's a compelling argument.
Everyone agrees with it, except the cable companies. They don't like it because they make their money forcing us to take – and pay for – what we don't want. And that's no good.
But this isn't about your cable company.
It's about your political party. And my political party.
Because they operate on the same principle. In the world of Republicans and Democrats, we don't get a la carte, we get bundle.
And that doesn't really make any sense.
Both parties bundle together various priorities and philosophies that, though married by habit in the American political mind, really have nothing to do with one another. But the conventions of American political loyalty require members of both parties to swallow the pill whole.
Democrat voters get coopted into backing the entire Democratic agenda, and Republican voters get coopted into backing the entire Republican agenda.
And it doesn't really make any sense.
Look at some of the traditional groupings. Democrats stand for labor unions, abortions, gay rights, environmentalism, redistributive tax policy, women's rights, the interests of racial minorities, an active, interventionist government and opposition to sprawl, consumerism, capitalism and fossil fuels. Republicans, for their part, are pro-gun, anti-illegal immigration, in favor of free trade, big fans of drilling, pro-military, pro-life, pro-balanced budget and extremely fond of quoting the Founding Fathers.
Those are the two bundles. Pick one.
And we've operated that way for about a generation.
The universe is divided down the middle with the Democrats claiming one side and the Republicans claiming the other. Which makes no sense.
Because many of the issues of both parties have nothing in common with one another. Further, one could easily believe strongly in aspects of both parties' agendas while passionately disagreeing with aspects of both parties' agendas.
The linkage between each party's priorities often simply doesn't exist.
For example, what if you're in favor of gay rights but also believe in the Second Amendment? Do you back the party that promotes gay rights or the party that protects the Second Amendment?
Why do we automatically presume that the fact you belong to a union puts you in favor of abortion and high taxes? Are environmentalists and redistributionists always the same people? Can't you favor both affirmative action and a balanced budget?
Who says being conservative means believing in free trade, or that being liberal means believing in amnesty for illegals?
Common sense says it's very possible – even probable – that many Americans would like a few priorities from the progressive menu and a few other priorities from the conservative menu.
But the parties don't go for that.
There are no conservative Democrats left, and there are no liberal Republicans left. Both parties have defined themselves so strictly and stridently that if you fail to buy the whole bundle you get denounced by your own party. You are not a free thinker, you are a traitor.
Granted, in a two-party Republic, coalitions of philosophies must be cobbled together to create a governing majority. But those coalitions have now been set in cement and are unwavering, the coalition taking on a larger role than any of its component philosophies.
Which polarizes the population while empowering the worst ideas of the majority party and silencing the best ideas of the minority party.
Further, and worst, the party becomes the dictator of orthodoxy. Instead of it serving your philosophy, you must serve its philosophies – even if you disagree with them.
And that doesn't serve the interests of freedom or self-governance. The parties and their ruling coalitions make out pretty good, but the regular citizen doesn't.
Being black doesn't make you anti-fracking. Being for school choice doesn't mean you're against sprawl.
The parties have drawn the lines and they have boxed us in.
And we should resist that. No, don't abandon your party. But don't sell your soul to it, either. Vote across party lines, make principled stands and selections, and push for candidates who will mix up the status quo a bit.
Americans have typically believed in two parties and stood for two philosophies. That clear choice is a good thing. But it must be the servant, not the master. And over our 200 years, the parties have each evolved, with some philosophies bounding back and forth between the two.
That could happen again.
If the political parties would only let us get what we want a la carte.
Instead of being forced to take the bundled product.

LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Review
The universe in which this LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 unit exists is not one made for a tiny, limited cross-section of creative children and those that want to see their models move. When you see "10+" on the package for the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, you're going to need to understand that this does not mean it's excellence is relegated to kids. You're also going to need to recognize immediately that this is not just a toy - it's a platform.

Of course, the identities of these clients have been disguised to preserve there confidentiality.
- I am a failure – A client whose belief that he was a failure was getting in the way of his work.

I am very grateful to them for allowing me to describe our work together.

#7 Dynasty Warriors 7 (Koei)No really. The Dynasty Warriors series has been chugging along for well over a decade now, and the formula remains exactly the same: everything from the wailing J-Rock soundtrack to the colourful cast of Chinese champions is exactly as you remember it. This sense of déjà vu caused the seventh game in the series to be completely ignored at the time of release. Personally, we think it's the best re-imagining of Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms yet. Noteworthy improvements include the addition of the Jin Dynasty, animal allies that aid you in battle and an overhauled weapons system. If you're a fan of the series (or just like slaying thousands of lowly foot soldiers with your god-like strength), then Dynasty Warriors 7 is a worthy vassal for your kingdom.

Where is this coming from?
When I was a child my parents taught me never to interrupt, to wait until it was my turn to speak, and when I was speaking, they encouraged me to make my points clearly and succinctly and then let the other person respond. This training worked wonderfully well ... at home, where my parents valued what I had to say as much as what the other adults in the room were discussing. In high school I attended cotillion, which is etiquette training class. It was a mix of ridiculous social etiquette lessons and some really valuable lessons. I know how to foxtrot, how to waltz, and how to get out of a car wearing heels and a short skirt. I also learned which fork to use at a formal dinner table, and, additionally, I learned how to facilitate conversation, and how to listen. There was a lot of emphasis placed on being a good listener. None of these things -- having respect for others, being a good listener, recognizing and respecting rules -- is inherently bad, unless of course there is a breach of conduct by another party. I mean seriously, if someone is being disrespectful there is a time, place, and way to address it. (Did I mention cotillion also taught me the Southern art of the cutting remark? To be wielded with caution.)
Here's the thing: I am tired of the same kind of issues Margrit has written about here, Aimée has written about here, and I have written about here, here, and here. In short, I'm tired of how difficult the job market continues to be, how prevalent sexism continues to be, and how quietism seems to be the rule of the day. All that tiredness seems to be resulting in the loss of my filter.

The Killing Fields
1984 (2001) - Warner Bros.
review by Dan Kelly of
The Digital Bits
Film Rating: A
Disc Ratings (Video/Audio/Extras): B/B-/C+
Specs and Features
141 mins, R, letterboxed widescreen (1.85:1), 16x9 enhanced, single-sided, dual-layered (layer switch at 1:11:32, in chapter 23), Snapper case packaging, theatrical trailer, audio commentary by director Roland Joffé, cast and crew filmographies, production notes, film-themed menu screens with sound, scene access (47 chapters), languages: English (DD 2.0), subtitles: English and French, Closed Captioned
The true story of Dith Pran is one that no author of fiction would ever dare dream up. His is a story of profound loss, unimaginable grief and, ultimately, it becomes a tale of hope and persistence in the face of tragedy. It's not often that a film's subject matter is as uplifting as it is heartrending. Finding inspiration in a story whose underlying theme centers on the loss of human dignity, and indeed the incalculable loss of human life, is no easy feat. But
The Killing Fields
provides the tools for a great film - compelling material, a strong script, excellent acting and competent direction. It is extremely difficult to watch at times, but it's hard not to get involved in a movie like this: one that explores the lengths to which people will go to survive.
The Killing Fields
, based on a story by Sydney Schanberg, tells the story of Dith Pran and the communist occupation of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge. Journalist Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) works for the New York Times and is there as a war correspondent. Pran (Dr. Haing Ngor) also works as a correspondent and acts as Schanberg's interpreter. In April of 1975, they take to the streets of Phnom Penh with the residents of the capital city, under the impression that the years of civil war are over. In actuality, the Khmer Rouge were storming the city to evacuate it. Pran makes the decision to send his family out of the country to safety while he stays on with Schanberg to cover the war. Pran, in an effort to save the lives of Schanberg and his compatriots (John Malkovich and Julian Sands), tells Schanberg not to speak as he convinces the Khmer Rouge that the three of them are actually French journalists. He is able to save their lives, and they soon take shelter in the French Embassy. Not long thereafter, Pran is captured by the Khmer Rouge and forced to labor in the fields of the country.
From there, the movie splits into two separate narratives that are cut back and forth between each other. Initially, the focus is on Schanberg's return to the United States and his search for Pran. But the majority of the story, and the most engaging sections, are those that deal with Pran's time in the work camps. Told mostly by voice-over narration, Pran tells of the changes that the Khmer Rouge were trying to bring about and the personal sacrifices he made with only the hope of making it out alive to guide him. What first-time director Joffé is able to convey, sometimes in graphic detail, is the horrific life of working the fields for the Khmer Rouge. Food rations are sparse and any attempts to take more than your share of food will result in torture or even death. From sun up to sun down, Pran spends his days working the fields under extreme conditions. When not in the fields, he and the other prisoners were subjected to hours of communist propaganda and their plan to return Cambodia to the year zero. It's a brutal existence and one that would make you wonder how anyone could make it out alive.
When award season rolled around,
The Killing Fields
picked up its fair share of statues. Of all the awards given the film, the most consistently appraisal was bestowed upon Haing Ngor. Here is someone who had no previous acting experience prior to his role in this film, yet his time on screen is remarkable. His convincing portrayal of Pran can be attributed, no doubt, to his own internment in, and eventual escape from, the work camps of the Khmer Rouge. The similarities between their respective stories are extraordinary and provide an entire new level of poignancy to an already touching film.
Warner has prepared a decent-looking DVD image for
The Killing Fields
. This is the first time it's been offered in its original 1.85:1 widescreen format. The anamorphic picture is, generally speaking, good. Colors and flesh tones are correct, and there are no evident instances of color over-saturation. Black level is satisfactory, but could certainly have been better to add more dimension to the picture. The source print is mostly good and keeps age-related blemishes at a minimum. The most noticeable defect to the picture is some heavy grain, which is obvious in some of the darker scenes (look at the 31:15 mark for a good example of this). It really only becomes an issue in these darker scenes, but it does present itself as a blatant distraction during these scenes.
The audio is a basic, 2.0 English surround mix. It too is satisfactory, but suffers from a very dated sound. Bass response is weak and comes into play on only a handful of occasions. There are some separation effects on the front end, but they have a tendency to sound a bit on the shallow side. You'll also hear some action from the surround channel. At times, it sounds rather random and there are a few odd echo effects that pop up once or twice. Dialogue is fine, so you should have no troubles following the on-screen happenings. Not a bad track, but nothing to write home about.
You'll find a tidy but effective set of features on the DVD as well. The main attraction is the running commentary by Joffé. He's got tons to say about the movie, and barely takes a breath from the time he starts talking till the movie ends. This was his first feature film, and he pays a good deal of attention to the technical aspect of getting this film made. Joffé has nothing but praise for the entire cast. He talks openly and with lots of affection about the late Haing Ngor in particular. He also talks sporadically throughout the track on the history of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. It's a good track and well worth a listen for its entire running time. You'll also get the theatrical trailer, in anamorphic widescreen and looking good for a 15-year-old promotional spot. The usual cast and crew filmographies make an appearance on this disc, as do a few small pages of notes about Dr. Haing Ngor and a list of awards that the film racked up.
The Killing Fields
is the story of one man's survival of the Cambodian holocaust, then the life and death of Haing Ngor is the punctuation on that sentence. Though his murder in front of his California home was completely unrelated to the Khmer Rouge and Cambodia, it somehow seems like the final chapter to an already sad story. On Joffé's commentary, he talks of the importance of
The Killing Fields
to Ngor. The film, and his participation in it, meant so much to him that his Oscar statue began to lose its gold finish from all the time he spent holding it in his hand. The great movies and performances are able to stand the test of time: the impact of
The Killing Fields
and the personal story of Dr. Haing Ngor have left a lasting impact on those who've seen the film. I can't recommend the film enough and this DVD is, without a doubt, the best way to enjoy it. It's not a perfect DVD, but the power of the film will make you overlook some of the DVD's less than stellar points.

All Hallow's Eve
Age: 19
Year: Sophomore
From: New Bern, NC
Major: I haven't come to a definite decision, but I am leaning towards either Literature or Political Science.
Hobbies: I love to sing by myself, but I absolutely love singing along with friends and creating new sounds. I also enjoy anything having to do with the outdoors.
What is your favorite class or professor? Without a doubt, my favorite class this semester is Ethics with Prof. Mark Wunsch. Not only is the course material interesting, but it is also relates so perfectly to my life experiences. Prof. Wunsch is a wonderful professor who engages and excites his students to dig deeper into the material.
What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? I just recently finished my first season on Christendom's varsity soccer team, and I also enjoy participating in the intramurals, especially volleyball.
What is your favorite thing about Christendom? I think it's impossible to have just one favorite thing about Christendom. Although I'd have to say that the people I've met here are definitely at the top of my list. Everyone is so friendly and I absolutely love being part of our "Christendom family." I also love the fact that we have a beautiful Chapel right on campus, and I can attend daily Mass.
Why did you choose Christendom? I came to the Experience Christendom Summer Program two years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the campus, the faculty, the students, and the academics. I knew from spending just one week here, that I only wanted to apply to one school.
What surprises you the most about Christendom? Honestly, the most surprising thing for me was both observing and experiencing how quickly I came to view Christendom as my "second home," and how close everyone became in such a short period of time. I've never experience anything like it anywhere.
What are your plans after graduation? I plan to go on and attend Cosmetology School. I've always loved the idea of cutting and coloring hair, and I can't wait to get started!
Any parting words of advice for a prospective student? To anyone considering Christendom College, I would definitely advise them to plan a visit to the College and just allow themselves to be immersed in the Catholic atmosphere. Approach the College with an open mind, and you just might fall in love too!

"I thought Mr. Chalberg was fantastic, because he was both edifying and hilarious," says Senior Charlie Rollino. "His performance brought the readings of the core curriculum to life."
Light refreshments were served, as students and faculty and staff members enjoyed a fun and enlightening presentation by Chesterton "himself."
Chuck Chalberg brings characters such as President Theodore Roosevelt to life on stage as well.
"Pub Night really put me in the Halloween spirit," says Freshman Melissa Lucas. "I loved how the place was put together, and I was especially impressed with the awesome pumpkins that the students carved."
Junior Aislinn Gibson read Edgar Allen Poe.

Students enjoyed the snacks and beverages.
Sophomores Peter Foeckler and John Jackson make up ghost stories.
"I feel so blessed to be able to attend a college where more than half of the student body willingly wakes up at 6 am to go and pray in front of an abortion mill," said Sophomore Julie Wells. "It's so encouraging to look around and see your classmates as vibrant soldiers, courageously taking a stand to protect the unborn."
Mega Shield participants filled the entire yard in front of Planned Parenthood and, led by Senior Chris Roberts, prayed the Rosary and a Divine Mercy chaplet for an end to abortion. Members of the Christendom choir lent their talent to the cause by singing beautiful hymns between each set of Rosary Mysteries. The event left a powerful impact on all students participating.
"I wanted to congratulate you and your students for the huge demonstration at Planned Parenthood in Washington. Just saw the photos and the videos.... great to know that somewhere in this country we have young people taking a very public stand for life. Please tell these youngsters that there are people all over the country who admire them for their witness to life. Christendom College is what a Catholic college should be but unfortunately several Catholic schools have lost their identity. Once again I have great admiration for your school and your terrific students. Please tell them to keep up the good work. God Bless each of you."

Besides the dancing, music and plentiful spread of sweet snacks, students enjoyed chills and thrills in a 'haunted house,' that was set up in the basement of the Commons.
Another highlight of the evening was the best group and best individual costume contest. Freshman Class President John Hill presided over the festivities as a long line of costumed attendees paraded across the stage for the cheering crowd.
The dance provided everyone with a spooky and fun way to celebrate the Halloween weekend.

"It was nice to be able to stay inside and enjoy everyone's company, on such a chilly October day" said Freshman Emily Norton.
An abundance of food seemed to be found in almost every room and in one particular case, homemade frappes were even being made within a Campion room. Music collaborations and laughter filled the hallways and another Women's Open House ended on a good note.

The past two weeks were definitely the most eventful – I think each week is progressively busier. During the O'Donnells' visit, we had a group lunch with Cardinal Arinze, a good friend of Christendom and Dr. O'Donnell. One day, a number of students and I were honored to have dinner with Cardinal Dolan, to be a part of his radio program that was recorded live. Another evening, I went with a group of students for a class in wine tasting. Because wine plays such a large role in Italian culture, the class expanded our experience of Rome by helping us "understanding the way to appreciate wine" — the hostess' words not mine.

Crusaders Ready for Basketball and Intramural Volleyball
After enjoying a relaxing fall break and despite getting a pre-Halloween visit from Super-Storm Sandy the gym is busy again. With the opening varsity basketball games this week and the beginning of intramural volleyball last week there will be very few quiet hours in Crusader Gymnasium!
Last week was the official start to the volleyball season and again the student participation exceeded all expectations with 28 teams signing up to participate. With an average of six players per team that comes to 168 students or close to 50% of the student body given half the junior class is enjoying a quiet semester in Rome! Not only have teams been practicing, but it seems for whatever reason volleyball is the "must win" sport on campus. We look forward to updating all the readers in a few weeks or so when the season is in full swing.
"I am excited for the season to get started," said Coach Chris Vander Woude. "The guys have been working hard and, hopefully, playing a little different style will give the opportunity for different players to get involved and have a positive impact on a given night. This is the great thing about Christendom—student athletes can come here and make an immediate impact on their teams."
Best of luck to both teams this season and to all the 28 volleyball teams!
To keep informed about the sports teams make sure to check-out the Christendom Crazies page on Facebook.
So, watch this little promo video about the upcoming summer programs, see if it looks even remotely interesting, sit by your computer until December 1, then go to the registration page, fill in the info, hit submit, and bingo, you are registered. Well, not you, because you are only a rising junior, but you understand what I am saying. You, and I mean you, have to wait until April 1 to register, and again, that is only if there is space remaining. We hope to have about 45 students in each of the 5 sessions, so I am pretty sure that there will still be openings come April 1, so no need to sweat it too much. We will do what we can to get you in so that you, too, can have one of the best weeks of your life.
Q. I am currently a high school sophomore and have been hearing all kinds of wonderful stories about your summer programs. Question. Can I go this summer, even if I am only going to be a rising junior? Please? Pretty please?
A. The upcoming Experience Christendom Summer Programs (ECSP) for the summer of 2013 are primarily for students who will be rising seniors in the summer. But, if by April 1, 2013, we still have any room available in the programs, then rising high school juniors can register to come. Last year we ended up with a pretty long waiting list, and a bunch of students who wanted to come were unable to. So, this year, we've added a 5th session, so hopefully everyone who wants to come, will be able to make it.
The ECSP is a wonderful experience, as you have heard. In fact, most say it was one of the best experiences of their lives. I'm not exactly sure why they say this, but I think you should read some of the testimonies written by the participants themselves to see if what they say appeals to you. I think, though, in summary, most participants are pleasantly surprised to learn that one can be very, very Catholic, yet at the same time, one can have lots and lots of fun. Sometimes, there are people who think that being really Catholic means being really uptight or repressed or depressed or something of that nature. Not exactly sure why people think this, but some do. In reality, Catholics should be the happiest people alive because we have the fullness of the Truth, and the means to attain salvation. All we have to do is simply follow the teachings of Christ and His Church and salvation is in the bag.
But back to the ECSP. So, some high schoolers think that a place like Christendom may be a place for people who are geeky, or too serious, or too holy, or too smart, or too Catholic. When these same students arrive on campus for the ECSP, they realize that everything they previously thought was pretty much wrong and that Christendom kids are just regular, well-adjusted young people who are doing the best they can to achieve holiness and gain eternal life. Hopefully, those are two goals everyone has, right?

What David Mamet "meant" to say with his controversial drama Oleanna is irrelevant, for the purposes here. Divorce the frustrating artist from this powerful work, and you have a compelling artistic rendition of the amorphous concept of "privilege." Oleanna in its visceral effect on certain audiences is much more interesting than whatever milquetoast political point its author may (or may not) have been trying to make. This disclaimer is necessary because I am not even passingly interested in defending Mamet or Oleanna as a piece of historical/political commentary.
Privilege is often employed in debate as a way to explain why a particular individual or group of individuals thinks or acts the way they do. But it is rarely sufficiently detailed to create a picture of the social relations at play. Being skeptical of the concept of the "privilege," as I am, is not the same as saying privilege (male privilege, race privilege, heteronormativity) does not exist. It is more skepticism of its power as an explanatory phenomenon in social dynamics.

Diaz confession goes to high court
PIERRE -- State prosecutors have filed a request to appeal a judge's decision that tossed out an alleged killer's confession.
The confession is from Maricela Diaz, who is accused of killing 16-year-old Jasmine Guevara, of Mitchell, in November 2009.
In court documents filed Nov. 21, Deputy Attorney General Robert Mayer asks the South Dakota Supreme Court to reconsider a ruling by Judge Tim Bjorkman that bars prosecutors from using any statements Diaz made to police after her arrest on Nov. 11, 2009. Diaz was 15 at the time of her alleged involvement in the crime and is now 18.
"The inappropriate suppression of (Diaz's) statements significantly damages the state's case," the petition says.
Bjorkman found Diaz had not waived her Miranda rights prior to being questioned by investigators, and that the importance of her Miranda rights had been downplayed by investigators. The ruling was issued Aug. 28, just weeks before the case was scheduled to go to trial.
To show Bjorkman made a mistake in issuing the ruling, state prosecutors must show Diaz "voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently" waived her Miranda rights, the petition says.
The prosecution argues investigators properly advised Diaz of her Miranda rights because they were read to her twice in English and once in Spanish, and she was told three times of her right to an attorney, four times of her right to remain silent and four times that anything she said could be used against her in court, the petition says.
"Diaz completely comprehended her rights and the gravity of the situation," the petition says.
The prosecution claims Diaz did not hesitate or act confused when she indicated she understood her rights.
"In fact, at one point the officers had to stop Diaz from talking until all the rights were fully explained," the petition says.
After being advised she could be charged as an adult, the petition says Diaz asked investigators to continue the questioning in Spanish so she wouldn't get confused and "say too much or too little."
"Even though she is young in age, Diaz's waiver (of her Miranda rights) was a calculated, experienced, intelligent, understanding and voluntary decision," the petition says.
While much of the police interview with Diaz is recorded, her alleged confession is not. According to information in Bjorkman's ruling and the petition, a new audio/video system that had recently been installed at the Mitchell Police Division shut off after four continuous hours, as it was programmed to do, and went unnoticed by interrogators for approximately 96 minutes.
"Ultimately, Diaz confessed to taking part in the planning, stabbing, burning and murder of Jasmine," the petition says.
The defense's response to the prosecution's petition is due Friday. Prosecutors also requested a stay of any other proceedings in the case until the appeal is decided.
Alexander Salgado pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in August 2010 in connection with Guevara's death and is now serving a life sentence at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls. Prosecutors initially sought the death penalty for Salgado.
Diaz is accused of luring Guevara to a rural area and then stabbing her and leaving her in the trunk of a burning vehicle. In a signed plea agreement, Salgado admitted to participating in the murder and to holding Guevara's head while Diaz cut into her neck.
After being moved from juvenile court to adult court, Diaz was indicted on Aug. 5, 2011, on six charges related to the crime, including first-degree murder.
Investigators said Diaz, who has a child with Salgado, was jealous of a developing relationship between Salgado and Guevara. Salgado has said he will not testify against Diaz and threatened violence if brought to court.
Diaz could face life in prison if convicted but, because of her age at the time of the crime, cannot be sentenced to death. And even though she could face life in prison, she cannot face a mandatory life sentence without parole because of a recent federal Supreme Court decision.

WOULD-BE volunteers are urged to 'do a good deed' for children living with disabilities in Dorset.
Anyone interested in giving their time to help others is invited to an open morning at Diverse Abilities Plus school Langside from 10am until noon on Thursday, June 5 to celebrate National Volunteers' Week.
The aim of the event is to thank the charity's current helpers, showcase the school's new sensory garden, and encourage potential volunteers to get involved and help to make a difference to local people with disabilities.
Langside provides education to 28 children with special educational needs and physical difficulties from the ages of two to 19.
Sarah Harrison, volunteer and recruitment manager at Diverse Abilities Plus, said: "In just 30 minutes you can actually achieve quite a lot that can really help the charity and the people it supports. "For example, you could plant a seed in the garden of one of the adults we support, undertake some research online for our central office, bake some cakes to help raise funds or distribute some collection pots or leaflets in your local area."
Currently, around 100 people from Dorset volunteer for the charity, while employees at businesses including Barclays, LV=, Nationwide and Bournemouth University give their time through projects.
Sarah said: "We are strongly supporting volunteers' week as there are many benefits to volunteering and getting involved in the local community.
"No matter what your age or ability, there will be something that is perfect for you. We hope many people come along to our open morning and see what difference they can make to children and adults with disabilities."
To attend the event, or to find out more information, call Sarah on 01202 718266 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

- Great for actual use. Review by Nukedude
Price Value Quality
Great carry pouches for actual use. I use my as a belt as these are a bit small for a bandolier for me. 200 pounds and 6 feet tall. Probably made like the actual ones for a 5 foot 6 inch and 125 pound British troop 100 years ago. The brass and leather work are great. Smelled the room up with the pleasant leather smell. The loops held .303 British rounds tight and only minor fitting to get the flaps to close with ammo loaded. As with any leather product, this will get better with actual use. Brass hardware is strong and should last for years. Buy this for real world use for less than a custom made one. Could have been longer for actual bandolier use on an average person, circa 2011, but a very good item and price.

I purchased this bandolier last spring and I am very happy with it. The leather is of excellent quality and resembles the original bandolier in every respect. It is very comfortable and quite flexible now that I have been using for a while. The price is incredible. This is definitely one of the best replica bandoliers.

Very very nice thick leather bandolier. I wasn't expecting the level of quality, ammo fit so snug you cant take them out! Fixing this by leaving empties in there to stretch the loops. Price is awesome also been looking for a while and costume banndoliers run 50 bux! Buy two!

Has any mums used a Intrauterine Contraceptive device for birth control?
What were the pros vs cons?
4th February 2014 06:18 AM #2
Dear sunnymumof5,
Here is a previous thread where some of our forum members discussed their experiences with IUDs.
The advantages of IUDs are:
- it is a long-lasting contraception (5-10 years)
- some IUDs are more than 99% effective
- you don't have to think about contraception on a day-to-day basis
- safe to use when breastfeeding
- it is a reversible form of contraception
The disadvantages include that:
- it is common in the 6 months after it being put in place to have changes to your periods such as them becoming longer or more uncomfortable
- if you do get pregnant (although this is unlikely) then there is an increased risk of the pregnancy being ectopic
- there is a small chance of infection in the first month
- some women do not agree ethically with the fact that an IUD not only stops sperm surviving in the womb; it also can prevent a fertilised egg from implanting
I hope this information helps you.
Best wishes,

Thank you for the response LJ,
i had a unique experience with a paraguard, the copper IUD and ended up having it removed. I'd love to check out that link and see how other mothers fared with theirs.
I am now using NFP and its going great so far.

Dear sunnymumof5,
I know many women who have tried Paragard find that there periods can be more painful and heavier in the first 6 months.
A number of our forum members use natural family planning; you are in good company here

That was exactly the case for me. I had very heavy cycles that lasted for a week or more.
Thank you for being so supportive.

That must have been difficult sunnymumof5. I'm glad you are getting on well with natural family planning.

American Idol Fans Say Goodbye To Casey Abrams
Last night was the end of the road for the 20-year-old bassist/singer, who had been saved by the judges five weeks ago. Casey Abrams was a firecracker, a musician first and foremost who introduced many to his love of jazz and blues. He was seen as an 'odd duck' for the Idol competition, but I thinks that was the attraction. I hated to see Casey Abrams leave American Idol Last Night. Casey brought so much 'character' to the show with his spot on performances. Still standing - Scott McCreery, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Jacob Lusk and Hailey Rinehart.

Just think what $180 million given to Habitat for Humanity could do!
That $180 million should be raised to pay the victims of sick pedophile Catholic priests that the Catholic church aided in being criminally charged for their sick actions against children instead of an opulent homage to a fairy tales based religion!

Beyonce's 'Life Is But A Dream' pulls 1.8 Million viewers
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce is now also proving her star power on HBO. The singer's intimate HBO documentary, "Life Is But A Dream," drew one-point-eight million viewers to the network Saturday.
It was the largest audience for the premiere of an HBO documentary in nearly ten years. The only other documentary to come close in recent years was Spike Lee's 2006 miniseries "When the Levees Broke," about the devastation in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Beyonce's doc also delivered three times the ratings of the second season premiere of HBO's critically acclaimed Sunday series "Girls."
Executive produced and co-directed by the Grammy winning singer, "Life Is But A Dream," offers up a look behind the scenes of Beyonce's closely-guarded personal life. Highlights include footage of the singer's one-year-old daughter Blue Ivy; the star giving a toast at husband Jay-Z's birthday party; and her opening up about her strained relationship with her father and former manager.

No way out
In the opening scene of this new novel, the protagonist,
Golden Richards, comes home from work to one of the three houses where his four
wives and 28 children live, and he literally cannot find a pot to piss in. The
bathrooms, of which there are never enough, are all occupied. The house is in
disarray and chaos. Golden goes to the utility closet and is at last able to
relieve himself in a bucket in the company of an exiled dog.
This utility closet becomes a metaphor for a lost man
looking for a way out of his life's problems, and he is only one of several
characters in this tragic-comic novel who attempt to plot their escapes.
Udall's novel is big, laugh-out-loud funny and finally disturbing.
Udall, who comes from a Mormon but not a fundamentalist
background, searches for and finds a spiritual meaning in plural marriage--each
person involved must trust in the abundance of love and believe that no amount
of love can be hoarded and claimed as one's own. It's a generosity so
extraordinary that it made me put down the book and say, "What?" I had never
looked at marriage in this way, and it caught me off guard.
By the end of the novel, when Udall has taken the reader
into dark places and funny places--often at the same time--he attempts to
reconcile the gigantic mess that he has made. At that point, I wondered what I
had gotten myself into. He makes the risky choice of reconciliation, choosing,
to the heart-aching disappointment of this reader, not to give his characters an
easy way out. They do not flee from the choices and commitments they have made;
they do not take the individual option, much as I would have loved for them to
do so. We end up with something quite different from the classic American
novel, especially the classic Western, in which freedom is won and the hero
rides off into the sunset.
This novel is worth all of its sprawling 600 pages. It's a
valuable enterprise to live alongside Trish (wife number four) while she falls
in love and lets another heart into her lonely existence, or alongside son
Rusty (son number five) as he rages to find just a little piece of love to call
his own, or alongside Golden as he fumbles like a rat through a maze.
These characters are rich, puzzling, messy and beautiful.
I'll be puzzling the ending for a long time. Like Golden in the utility closet,
I'd still like to help them find a way out. That may say more about me than it
does about Udall, but it makes for one brave and provocative novel.

Who is Rupert Sanders? 5 Things To Know About Kristen Stewart's Hookup
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's years-long relationship has been rocked by reports that the actress hooked up with her much-older, married Snow White helmer, Rupert Sanders.
After news of the alleged tryst spread like wildfire on the web, Us Weekly printed incriminating photos of Stewart, 22, and Sanders, 41, cozying up in a car in what looks like to be a romantic moment.
So who is Rupert Sanders?
1. Snow White and the Huntsman is his first feature.
The big-screen fairytale adaptation is Sanders' feature film directorial debut. The big-budget flick, which re-imagined the traditional Disney fairytale, pulled in $20.3 million domestically on its opening day in June 2012.
2. He is married to model-actress Liberty Ross.
Sanders tied the knot seven years ago with Liberty Ross, sister of Oscar-winning composer Atticus Ross. The British Vogue cover girl played Stewart's mother in Snow White. London-born Ross, 33, recently shared photos and details of her family's Hawaiian vacation, on the heels of Snow White and the Huntsman's promo blitz. Just hours before her husband's alleged affair exploded, Ross tweeted simply, "Wow," before deactivating her account. It remains to be seen how the fallout will affect the film's sequel, which is reportedly moving forward with both Stewart and Sanders.
British-born Sanders lives in Malibu, California, with his 7-year-old daughter Skyla and 5-year-old son Tennyson, both of whom had bit roes in their father's blockbuster.
4. He praises Stewart's acting skills.
"When you see her act you realize why she is such a huge movie star and why she's going to continue to get bigger," Sanders gushed to Screenrant. "I'd first seen her in Into the Wild and I was really blown away…She's one those actors who does these smaller films and then she does these big movies and she's really managed her career so well in that way. She's incredibly spirited and very kind of wild and also she's got this kind of this alchemy to her. You're not quite sure what it is about her, but on screen she's just incredible."
5. Other than Snow White, his resume includes commercials and short films.
The director has helmed many TV advertisements, including one for Halo 3: ODST, which earned him two Golden Lions at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.

Tom Brady Gets Comforted By Gisele After Super Bowl Loss
Just moments removed from another heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the New York Giants, Tom Brady received a consoling hug from wife Gisele Bundchen in between speaking with media members at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday night (February 5).
The New England Patriots quarterback and his Brazilian supermodel wife shared the touching embrace after Brady and his teammates came up a bit short with the final score seeing the Giants win the NFL Championship by a score of 21-17.
While speaking to Boston.com media members, Tom somberly said, "You know, we fought to the end. You know, we're very proud of that. Just came up a little bit short."
Asked if he thought he could lead his team to a winning touchdown after getting the ball back with one minute left, the 34-year-old replied, "Yeah, we tried, you know... We just, we got to the fifty and kind of ran out of time and threw a hail mary at the end. I don't know how close we were to getting it..."
Below are pictures of Gisele Bundchen trying her best to console Tom Brady after Super Bowl XLVI (February 5).

MILAN — Hairstylist Eugene Souleiman alluded to Nineties minimalism with a long, sleek ponytail, created with Wella Professionals products. To maximize shine, hair was slicked with Perfect Setting Wet and sectioned off. The front was combed over the top of the head and secured with neatly tucked side sections into a low ponytail. Length-enhancing extensions were wrapped around the ponytail base and flat-ironed into an "ultrastraight, shiny stallion tail," secured with Stay Essential Finishing Spray and a half-bow of black, silk ribbon. Uneven hair ends were cut bluntly with scissors.
Charlotte Tilbury aimed for a "handsome, boyish, pretty face" that was dominated by a strong eye in subtle, neutral tones. Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation and Concealer polished the skin, followed by a dusting with Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder around the nose for a "light, airy feel with a minimal powder trace." Cheeks were contoured with Pro Sculpting Cream in Pure Sculpture and eyelids were blended in Sculpting Cream Coffee Walnut and Richly Honed. Lush, thick brows were filled in with Fling Eye Brows. Spice Lipstick — close to the natural shade of lips — sealed the pout. Eyelashes were left bare and uncurled. Toenails were lacquered in a gray shade by Lalya and fingernails were painted in Chanel Ballerina Shade 167.

It was quite quick, and everything was well-prepared in advanced.
Nothing is so well calculated to quiet the perturbed soul as a costly and well-prepared feast.
It can, however, be grown on any well-prepared land of a free nature.
well-prepared soil, carefully handled tools and plants are ways to success.
A youth of cheerful labor and study brings its own reward of a well-prepared and happy adult life.
Vegetables and legumes in well-prepared soups may also be used to advantage.
The well-prepared fields are green with varied crops, showing a high state of cultivation.
The lack of well-prepared teachers of these subjects is one of the most serious difficulties the new movement has encountered.
The best enjoyment it still grants me—I am honest and not ungrateful in saying so—is a well-prepared meal.
It consisted of a layer of well-prepared mortar, apparently clay, slightly mixed with ashes.

Friday Funny: Free Toilets And Trees
"Of course there is a motive -- water and power conservation -- to the DWP largess. And the programs are funded out of the agency's annual revenue, which ratepayers do contribute to."
"The bathroom makeover includes a free ultra-low-flush toilet -- one for each bathroom you have -- low-flow shower heads for every shower, and water-saving faucet aerators for all your faucets."
Trees for a Green L.A. "features 40 different kinds of large and small shade trees...for every tree planted, 81 kilowatts of power is saved annually. 'They say that's enough energy to keep a typical TV on 24 hours a day for seven days.'"

An ablaze logo with burning letters has been revealed as the cover art of The All-American Rejects' upcoming third LP, 'When the World Comes Down'.
The All-American Rejects have set their logo ablaze and revealed the fiery
album cover for their upcoming "When the World Comes Down" LP. Produced by Eric Valentine, their third major studio album will feature their current single "Gives You Hell" and is set to hit the market on December 16 under Interscope Records.
In support of their forthcoming effort, the rock band have also released a brand new video previewing a more folk-inspired song called "Mona Lisa". The new single can be heard on their official site where fans can also find updated-news, including upcoming shows, from the band.
Commenting on their underway project, Nick Wheeler confesses that the "record hasn't been smooth sailing." He adds, "After the success of 'Move Along', we felt an innate need to challenge ourselves to grow. And to challenge our fans to grow with us. ... This LP is where we're at as people, not just artists, here and now. That's why we took the bus trips and locked ourselves away in remote cabins to recreate this sense of torture like we had in the past, before we sold any records."
Furthermore, Wheeler and friends have also mapped a traveling plan around the United States for a roadshow. Upcoming stops include at least ten scheduled dates which will be wrapped up on November 28 with a live concert at Oklahoma's Diamond Ballroom.

Ceredigion AM Elin Jones is to seek talks between the Health Minister and a cross-party and cross-border delegation of local representatives at the earliest opportunity in order to press the case for Cardigan Hospital.
The move comes in the wake of the meeting at the Guildhall on 7 January, which had been arranged by Elin Jones before the current crisis at the Hospital came to a head, with the Chairman and Chief Executive of Hywel Dda Health Board to discuss the bed cuts at the current Hospital and the uncertainty over the new project.
Elin Jones, Plaid Cymru AM for Ceredigion, said,
"This meeting with a delegation of the Health Board, including its Chairman, Chief Executive, and officers responsible for care in the Cardigan area, was arranged before the decision in December to close the remaining beds at the old hospital. But I'm pleased it went ahead, as it gave local representatives and councillors, as well as the chairman of the Friends of Cardigan Hospital and Mayor of Cardigan, the chance to convey the community's dismay at the decision, and press for firm commitments on the new building.
"The Health Board gave no guarantees that there would be inpatient beds at the new facility, but that the option remained on the table if community-based care proved inadequate. I have deep concerns over whether such provision by the private and voluntary sectors can be a sustainable, stable way of delivering health and social care in a rural setting. These sectors play an important role but the NHS needs to lead the provision.
"The Board foresaw a date of 2017 for the completion of the new hospital, but I've no doubt that the timescale could be shortened with the right political will on the part of Hywel Dda Board and the Welsh Government. The next step is an urgent meeting with the Health Minister and a cross-party representation of the three counties concerned.
"The meeting stressed the importance of communicating with staff and the community. They expressed a willingness to undertake further consultation on the facilities that would be available in the new hospital, but stopped short of committing to attend a public meeting. I've no doubt that a public meeting would be welcomed by local people.
"The Friends of Cardigan Hospital and the Town Council's petition has shown the strength of feeling very clearly. We must do all we can to keep up the political pressure to ensure that the Cardigan area has a health service with the full range of services that people expect and deserve in the twenty-first century."

Beautiful installation of umbrellas
Beautiful installation of umbrellas. If you go to Agueda, Portugal this month, you will see colorful umbrella sky there. Portuguese photographer Patricia Almeida visited Agueda, where some streets are decorated with unusual installations of the bright multi-colored umbrellas. The umbrellas look almost like they're magically floating in mid-air. Very nice, creative and positive.

How can I be sure my Clown Loaches are eating enough?
Posted By: kathyh3 <email@example.com>
Date: Saturday, 31 October 1998, at 12:57 a.m.
I have 4 Clowns in my 75gal. w/ 29 Mollies, 2 Serpae Tetras, a black Tetra, 2 Rasboras, a male Swordtail and an CAE. I feed Hikari tablets and Tetra minitabs. The problem is EVERYONE in the tank (except the Rasboras) LOVES those wafers and I'm afraid the Clowns aren't getting enough to eat. When I check on them, they seem to have a little roundness in the belly, and I can hear that clicking sound when they're eating, so I know they ARE eating. I'm just concerned if they're eating enough. What can I do to insure they're properly fed? Thanks!
