Acoustic Family Buffet Brunch
Since our Sunday Acoustic Family Brunch now includes a BUFFET we though we'd get our poster kid Sullivan in to test it out. Sullivan is allergic to wheat but still had plenty of options to keep him happy including bacon, fingerling potatoes, eggs, yogurt & lots of fresh fruit. His vegetarian uncle was also happy with the french toast & muffin choices.
Yogurt & house made granola…
Fruit salad, whole fruits & assorted muffin (fresh out of the oven!)…
All the hot items keeping warm including house made sausages…
Tips for the band before going home!
Acoustic Family Buffet Brunch runs every Sunday with live music 11am-2pm. Cost is $10 per child, $16 per adult. Includes a regular juice, tea or coffee but not tax or gratuity.
It's a good time.

Rabies on the rise
By Dr. Jessica Vogelsang
When I was little, I used to run around the house with a mouthful of toothpaste foam saying, "Look, I have rabies!" I thought it was funny at the time, but rabies is no laughing matter.
As a fatal virus that kills 50,000 people worldwide on a yearly basis, "rabies" is a word that can, and should, make people leery.
Cat owners, in particular, should take notice: Cats are the domestic animal most commonly diagnosed with rabies in the U.S.
It is found in many species of wildlife -- with hotbeds of infection in certain populations of bats, skunks, foxes and raccoons -- and has been identified in every U.S. state except Hawaii. As humans encroach further and further into wilderness regions and increase the exposure risk, rabies cases in this country have increased.
Rabies can be passed from any affected animal to humans. Between 30,000 and 40,000 preventive post-bite treatments are administered in the U.S. on a yearly basis. Once the virus reaches the nervous system, there is no cure.
The main way for humans and pets to stay safe is for pet owners to ensure that their pets are vaccinated against rabies, but many cats remain unvaccinated for a variety of reasons.
Cats may or may not be required by law to be vaccinated for rabies, depending on the jurisdiction. In addition, many cat owners are nervous about vaccinating their cat due to the correlation between certain vaccinations and sarcomas in a small number of cats.
The best way to make a plan for your cat's vaccine schedule and disease prevention is to have a discussion with your veterinarian about the risks and benefits of vaccinations depending on your cat's lifestyle and health status.
Dr. Jessica Vogelsang is a small-animal veterinarian from San Diego. When she's not at work or with her family of two and her four-legged creatures, you can find her blogging about life with pets at PawCurious.com. Dr. Vogelsang's blogs have previously appeared on The Daily Cat.

Recently a friend of mine brought me a Bugs Bunny pluschie toy from McDonalds' Happy Meal since he went to Brazil on holiday: they are low quality plushies, the ones produced by WBSS were even better of those!
The few times I went on a McDonald was during the time of the promotion of "Space Jam", when there were special surprises (I got a Sylvester+Tweety figure and Taz playing basket!);
Just one thing: I wish so much that McDonalds relaunch again the same Looney Tunes'gadgets or similar that were offered in the early 90's!!
I hate that fast food restaurants, but if I can gain a Looney Tunes piece to collect, I would sacrifice myself with a disgusting and fattie Happy Meal!!

Scrap Senate bill, not Common Core standards
A PROPOSAL IN THE state Senate would establish a board to set state academic standards, effectively ending the Common Core.
Adopted four years ago by state Department of Public Instruction Superintendent Tony Evers, the Common Core sets academic standards for public school districts in the state. Wisconsin is one of 45 states that have signed on.
Wisconsin schools are in their second year of teaching a curriculum that meets the rigorous standards for math and reading. Tests are scheduled for fall 2014 to assess the progress (the science and social studies standards have been put on hold as costs are examined).
Now some Republican legislators want to undo what has been in place in classrooms the last two years and the very standards the DPI has been using since 2010 to guide its curriculum and education decisions.
The Common Core standards have had their opponents, both in the Legislature and in the classroom, but it would be unwise and premature to scrap them now. It appears that politics, not education, is the driving force
Gov. Scott Walker has supported the Common Core in the past. In 2012 in the governor's Read to Lead Task Force report, Walker wrote how the state adopted the Common Core "in response to the need to improve state standards and create a common set of expectations for children across the country." He called the new standards "more rigorous."
Since then, it appears he has backed off that claim and now backs this current Senate proposal.
Under SB 619, a 15-member Model Academic Standards Board of educators, parents and people with an education background would be created to draft standards. The DPI superintendent would serve on the board as well as four people he or should would appoint; the governor would name six members; the Senate majority and minority leaders would appoint one each; and the Assembly speaker and the minority leader would each appoint one.
If this is truly to be objective and nonpolitical, why does the governor appoint more members than the DPI chief?
Critics of the Common Core cite the loss of local control and the lowering of standards.
First of all, the Common Core wasn't required by the federal government. It wasn't even produced by the federal government. It was developed by a national group of state school officials with leadership from the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
Plus, it sets a baseline for standards. Schools can exceed the standards if they decide. Also, the schools set the curriculum; the Common Core doesn't.
Green Bay School District Superintendent Michelle Langenfeld wrote to legislators that the Common Core "closely aligns with the skills our partners in higher education and the business community identify as necessary to ensure college and career readiness" through a "rigorous and relevant curriculum."
Second, how does the Common Core lower academic standards? By all accounts, the standards are higher. At a hearing on Common Core, West Bend School District Superintendent Ted Nietzke called them "the highest standards I've seen."
Walker has called for "higher and more rigorous" academic standards, without stating what that means. In fact, the standards are more rigorous.
What opponents don't mention is the cost. Schools in Wisconsin have already spent $25 million to adopt the Common Core standards. Langenfeld's letter to legislators says that educators here have put in time, energy and resources in "implementing curriculum, instruction and measures aligned to the Common Core."
If the Common Core were an absolute failure, we'd support changing course. But there's no evidence of that. What we do see is a minority viewpoint that strikes the popular chord of loss of local control, something we haven't seen.
These academic standards haven't even had a time to work, and it would be unwise to scrap them for a more politicized approach in these times of hyper-partisanship. — Green Bay Press-Gazette, Feb. 24

If residents living near the Lockyer Creek have not yet evacuated, they are urged to relocate now, if it is safe to do so.
A peak was expected about 7.10am today.
Please evacuate to higher ground.
Evacuate if safe to do so, for emergencies contact 000.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council staff are at the Grantham State School ready to assist evacuees.
A council spokesperson said flooding being experience in Grantham now was moderate and not expected to cause the level of damage experienced during January 2011.
Meanwhile, with Laidley Ck expected to peak at 5.30pm, residents in low-lying areas are being asked to head to the evacuation centre at Laidley High School in Edward St.
"Areas in Laidley which were flooded in January 2011 can expect inundation this evening," a council spokesperson said.
"Please take some of your own bedding, medications and enough food for yourself and family to last the evening."
Lockyer Valley Disaster Coordination Centre up and running
YESTERDAY: The Lockyer Valley Regional Council Disaster Coordination Centre has been activated to monitor the current weather situation.
Lockyer Valley Mayor Steve Jones said the centre was currently monitoring local creeks and issuing alerts through Facebook and on council's website.
"The Disaster Coordination Centre has been activated with key operational staff on hand to monitor the current weather pattern," he said.
"Information from the state of the art river and creek gauges installed over recent months is being fed into the centre providing accurate information on water levels while staff are also out in the field confirming local road closures.
"Residents should be aware that we are predicted to receive more heavy rain and the wind will intensify over the next few hours and in to this evening.
"For up to date information, residents are asked to monitor council's Facebook page which is available through our website at www.lockyervalley.com.au," Cr Jones said.
"Information is also being issued to local media, including ABC Radio and River 949 for anyone without access to the internet," he said.

Spain's King Juan Carlos I said he was worried about high youth unemployment and urged Spaniards to stick together to combat an economic crisis, in an interview to mark his 75th birthday after a year of scandal for the royal family.
The king was widely respected for overseeing Spain's transition to democracy in the 1970s but last year his popularity slumped after he was forced to apologies for going on an elephant hunting trip to Botswana as his country was mired in financial crisis.
Continue Reading Below
The interview, broadcast on national television late on Friday, did not mention the trip or his son-in-law, who is under investigation for embezzlement.
The king spoke of his pain at Spain's unemployment rate, which stands at 25 percent.
"The lack of work, which means millions of families cannot live with dignity and that young people have to leave Spain to find whatever they can working abroad, that hurts us a lot, and it hurts me especially," Juan Carlos said.
More than half of young people in Spain are unemployed, owing to a sharp economic slowdown after the country's decade-long real estate boom turned to bust five years ago.
The royal family took a pay cut after Spain's centre-right government introduced a new round of harsh austerity measures last summer.
But the king's elephant hunting trip in April sat badly with Spaniards suffering the effects of the crisis. It was made public after he was flown home for medical treatment.
A poll published in El Mundo newspaper this week showed only 50 percent of people considered his reign to have been "very good" or "good", 26 percentage points lower than a year before.
Catalonian leader Artur Mas is leading a separatist movement in the coastal region and has called for a referendum on independence.
The king said in the interview he was concerned about "breakaway policies".
"At this point in time that's not what is good for Spain," he said. "Spain needs unity, for us to all to move towards the future together."
Spanish media reported that a village in Catalonia had decided to remove the king's name from a street last week.
Juan Carlos, who turned 75 on Saturday, has reigned for 37 years since the death of dictator Francisco Franco. He won respect from many Spaniards in 1981 when he publicly condemned an attempted coup.

William Buckland's Indenture Collection of Gunston Hall Plantation
In this lesson, students will study census data showing the names and occupations of early settlers of the English settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, to discern how life changed in the Jamestown settlement in the first few years after it was founded.
In this lesson, students will study census data showing the names and occupations of early settlers of the English settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, to discern how life changed in the Jamestown settlement in the first few years after it was founded.
What was it like to live in the English settlement at Jamestown, Virginia?
Before the day of the lesson and after the class is familiar with the history of Jamestown, bookmark Virtual Jamestown, available through EDSITEment, and practice moving between the pages used in the lesson. Within the section titled "The Jamestown Experience," there are four types of primary source documents from the Jamestown settlement: censuses, letters, laws and first-hand accounts. Students will review these documents to learn about life in the settlement. (NOTE TO TEACHER: Students will find the censuses easiest to read and understand among the documents offered on this website. The first-hand accounts are fascinating but, because the original spelling has been retained, they may be difficult for many students to read.)
It may be helpful to provide students with guidelines for analyzing the census data and other information presented in the primary source documents they will study in this lesson. American Memory from the Library of Congress offers a helpful set of guidelines for using primary sources in the classroom. (To find them, go to American Memory, click Learning Page, click Lesson Ideas and select the link to Using Primary Sources in the Classroom. Section IV, on analyzing statistical data, and Section V, on analyzing text, including documents in original handwriting or language, may be particularly helpful to students.)
The Digital Classroom from the National Archives and Records Administration also offers ideas for using primary source documents in the classroom on its History in the Raw page, as well as a Worksheet for Analyzing Primary Documents.(To find them, go to The Digital Classroom and select History in the Raw; or click Document Analysis Worksheets and select Written Document from the list of choices.) You may wish to download these resources for students before beginning the lesson.
If some time has passed since students studied Jamestown, remind them of what they learned about this early American settlement.
Begin the lesson by telling students they are going to read about life in Jamestown in the early years after the colony was established in 1607. The students' job is to look for changes that took place in the settlement. Students will choose two documents from within a set (either census materials, letters, laws, or first-hand accounts) to compare. This comparison should enable students to draw some conclusions about life in the settlement.
Tell the students they are acting as historians today because they are studying primary sources of information about Jamestown. After studying the documents, students will prepare a brief statement about what they have learned by studying the primary source documents.
Working alone or in groups, students should familiarize themselves with some of the primary source documents from Virtual Jamestown -- the censuses, letters, laws, and first-hand accounts. Allow time for students to study the documents -- the style in which they're written, the names and occupations listed on the census forms, the language used and the thoughts expressed in the letters and first-hand accounts.
These documents give an idea of what life was like for the early settlers who emigrated to Jamestown. For example, the census of original Jamestown settlers from 1607 lists six council members, one preacher, six carpenters, one blacksmith, one sailor, one barber and 29 gentlemen. (A gentleman was an upper-class man who could afford to hire laborers to work for him so he could pursue a life of leisure. Gentlemen also were entitled to bear arms.) Lead students in a discussion of how the Jamestown community would function, based on the occupations listed on the census form. The settlers would want to build shelter for protection from the weather. Do students think six carpenters would be able to accommodate the needs of all the settlers? What other jobs or skills might be important to people living in a new country, trying to settle a new area?
Virtual Jamestown also offers first-hand accounts written by some of the early Jamestown settlers. Particularly interesting selections include the letter written by John Pory, and the first-hand accounts of Master George Percy and Richard Frethorne. Many students will enjoy an opportunity to read what life was like in the colony from the point of view of someone who lived there. Spend a few moments talking with students about the way these accounts are written and how they differ from what someone might write today.
The first-hand accounts are shown with the authors' original 17th-century spelling. Students may not recognize all of the words. The first English dictionary was written in 1604 by Robert Cawdrey, a schoolmaster. By the time Jamestown was founded in 1607, few people had seen Mr. Cawdrey's dictionary, and there was still no agreement about the one correct spelling for every word. However, students will easily recognize some of the strange spellings, because people still use them today when they want a word to seem old. Ask students if they have ever seen a store with the word "Shoppe" in its name.
If you wish, have students work in groups to read the first-hand accounts of events at Jamestown. Students might make a dictionary showing how words were spelled in the archival document and how they would be spelled today (for example, corne = corn). As an alternative, they could copy the text of one of the first-hand accounts into a word processing file, highlight the strange words and create a glossary at the end of the document, noting current spelling and meaning.
After students have reviewed and studied the primary source documents, they will be prepared to create a simulated Jamestown document that could be a primary source from the colony. For example, students could write a diary entry of an original Jamestown settler, one of the first women to arrive at the settlement, someone living through the Starving Time or a successful tobacco farmer in 1660; they could write first-hand accounts of events that took place at Jamestown or a letter to a friend or relative who remained in England. Students may wish to consult some of the maps and images available in the Reference Center of Virtual Jamestown as they construct their source documents. You may wish to show students how to use tea staining or some other technique to make the final version of the documents look old.
Students should choose two primary source documents from the same set (i.e., two census documents or two letters) and use them in a comparison exercise. What differences can students identify between the two documents? For example, students comparing first-hand accounts should consider the experiences and perspective of the writer. They may notice differences in the writers' occupations, the descriptions of their surroundings, their interactions with other settlers or with Native Americans living in the area, or the emotions expressed in their writing. If students select census forms for their comparison, they should notice that the census of original settlers to arrive in Jamestown includes 29 gentlemen, and does not include any laborers; the first supply of settlers, who arrived in January 1608, included many gentlemen, plus 21 laborers and several tailors to make clothes. What conclusions can students draw about Jamestown and the people who settled it from the similarities and differences they observe in these source documents?
After their review, students should prepare a brief summary of changes in Jamestown by filling in the blanks in the following statement. (For older students, use the Document Analysis Worksheet from the National Archives Digital Classroom at http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/worksheets/document.html.)
I have studied the following two documents:
and _____________________________.
The first document, ___________________________,
contained the following: ___________________________.
The second document, _____________________________,
contained the following: ________________________.
Based on my studies, I conclude that _________________.
Have the class create a timeline of events at Jamestown, using the timeline available through Virtual Jamestown as a guide. They could create either a virtual timeline to be posted on your school's website, or a timeline that will be displayed in the classroom or hallway. The students' timeline should include the primary source documents they studied from Virtual Jamestown, as well as the simulated source documents they created and any additional dates and information drawn from students' own research. The timeline will provide a look at what it was like to live as a settler in the Jamestown colony.
As a geography assignment, have students plot information from the census documents about early settlers' occupations on a town map of the Jamestown settlement. Based on the number of settlers and their various occupations, where do students think the settlers would have lived and worked? How would the settlement have changed after the arrival of the first supply of settlers in January 1608, and after the second supply later that year? Students can get an idea of what original buildings in Jamestown would have looked like by visiting the APVA Jamestown Rediscovery Project website, available through Virtual Jamestown (go to Reference Center and click on Links to locate the site).
In your evaluation of students' work, you may wish to consider students' ability to do the following:
Technology Skills Extension:
If you wish, this lesson can also be used to help teach students the knowledge acquisition skills they need to use the Internet as a research tool. With your guidance, have students use the computer to find and print out the primary source documents they will study. Just before they open the website, ask students what they might expect to find on a site titled "Virtual Jamestown."

Oil and water. Hatfield and McCoy.
Risk and lawyers.
It was up to a well-known Silicon Valley leader, 1990 Michigan Law grad Jon Sobel, to try to dispel one of the central myths of modern lawyering: that attorneys and risk are mortal enemies.
"Good lawyers triage risk," Sobel told a packed Hutchins Hall classroom during a lunch talk this week. "They distinguish between problems that are fatal and problems that can be managed.... I truly believe you have to take acceptable risks."
When Sobel delivers a talk on "Risk: Frameworks for Law and Life," he knows whereof he speaks. He's the CEO of SightMachine, an early-stage company applying Internet technology and computer vision to improve manufacturing. He also has held senior positions with other Silicon Valley luminaries, such as Tesla Motors, Yahoo!, and SourceForge.
In speaking about business and entrepreneurial life, Sobel highlighted the importance of maintaining the right attitude when it comes to risk. And he reminded a room full of aspiring and/or actual lawyers that entrepreneurs, in particular, are a different breed.
"While it's never boring, working with entrepreneurs is not easy," he said. "Entrepreneurs don't want to eliminate risk—often, they are seeking risk." That's because opportunity is practically composed of risk, he said.
"Risk is danger," he said. "It is opportunity. It is always there in the background."
He illustrated the philosophy with a couple of stories. He mentioned Google, which, in the early days of the Internet, was the target of blistering criticism over copyright issues and Internet piracy.
The issues still aren't completely settled, but Sobel said he doesn't believe the company ever intended to enable piracy. Instead, he said, the company was taking the calculated risk that getting out in front in controversial content matters was worth the risk.
"They decided to bear the risk of copyright lawsuits, so they could become leaders in their field," he said.
Sobel peppered the talk with pithy observations, which the audience seemed to take to heart. To wit:
Part of that final point is facilitated by a legal education, he added.
"When I got into business, there was a lot to learn," he said. "But I am convinced the six years I spent practicing (law) enabled everything else I've done."

"Scandal" came roaring back for its third season Thursday with a heart-stopping episode, "It's Handled." Shonda Rhimes and her writers love to have their characters talk super fast while dropping heavy truths, shocking revelations or zinging put-downs. And the actors own those lines. (Bellamy Young, I'm looking at you.) The speechifying was electrifying. So here, without identifying the characters who spat them, is the premiere's Most. Quotable. Dialogue. "Scandal" airs at 9 p.m. Thursdays on ABC.
SPOILERS! (Not a line of dialogue, but if you haven't watched the episode. STOP READING.)
"Why did you try to have me killed?"
"I didn't try to have you killed; I tried to have Jake Ballard killed."
"You raised your skirt and opened your knees and gave it away to a man with too much power. You're not rare, you're not special."
"You and I both know he is not in charge; he is never in charge. Power is in charge."
"Twice as good as them to get half of what they have."
"Do you have to be so mediocre?"
"You're getting on that plane come hell or high water, and to be clear, I am the hell and the high water."
"I am a monster, but honey, I'm your monster."
"I am many things, stupid is not one of them."
"That's what Mom used to tell me about you."
"The people, Madame Vice President, the people elected you to be the president's sidekick, not the Lord. … The Lord does not have the right to vote in the United States of America."
"I have never once mentioned how I feel about your Godless homosexual lifestyle and that poor, sweet brown baby you have dragged into it."
"Hate to be in your shoes."
"Start a kill folder on Olivia Pope."
"It can't. Be. Liv."
"Enough! To play the 'ambitious slut' card."
"No one refuses an order in my business."
"I do my job so that Fatty can watch reality TV, eat fast food, stare at the Internet, screw their husbands or their battery-operated products and never use their teeny-tiny brains to think about the freedoms that I make possible. Never think about the Democracy that I make possible."
"I'm never out of options."
"So, let's do this."
"I'm going to need you to refrain from referring to me as a 'whore,' at least in front of my face. All right?"
"I'm sorry, the truth does not work. It does not work for me."
"If all we had to talk about was a blue dress with a stain and a cigar that had been in interesting places, I'd be fine. I would not give a damn."
"That is me being in love with another woman."
"I will open up our closet and I will pull out our laundry and I will share it with the world. I am that tired."
"It's refreshing to hear a man valuing the family. Good men are hard to come by."
"I am the most powerful woman in the free world. There are challenges associated with that."
"There will be a window; climb through it."
"Couldn't we just kill another intern? It wouldn't be that hard."
"Are we gladiators, or are we bitches?"
"Most importantly, he is freaking hot."
"What did you do?"
"It was this crazy idea I got from you … after you leaked Olivia's name."
"Being First Lady is profoundly boring … I use the copious amounts of free time I have to think, and I have been thinking, who could have possibly leaked that name, and why?"
"No. Step 1 was me coming to Blair House and laying my head in your lap like I gave a damn about you forgiveness. This is a war, Mellie. You and I are at war."
"There is nothing wrong with a little self-preservation. It doesn't mean you don't wear the white hat."
"The trunk was very comfortable, thank you."
"This is what really happened on that mission."
"Oh my God."

I find the uproar about genetically modified foods pathetically amusing.
People have been eating modified foods since they planted desirable plants outside their cave. Whenever a genetic mutation occurred that gave a favorable result, they naturally selected it. These were rare and progress was slow.
Much later someone decided to try cross pollination in species to capture the best features of both. Most of the time it failed but occasional success kept the effort going. Over many years many genetically improved varieties were developed.
Now tools are available to do the job much faster and suddenly genetically modified foods are evil.
Odd, isn't it?

The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District will once again provide eagle-watching opportunities to the public this winter.
The J-2 viewing center will be open on Saturdays and Sundays this season, starting on Saturday, Dec. 22, and will remain open until the first weekend in March.
The J-2 facility is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The hydroplant is located south of Lexington near the intersection of county roads 749 and 750.
Central's eagle-viewing facility below Kingsley Dam will open for the season on Saturday, Jan. 5, and will remain open until the first weekend in March. The Kingsley Dam facility is open for eagle-viewing from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
A limited number of binoculars are available at the facilities, but visitors are encouraged to bring their own viewing equipment.
Central has been providing eagle-viewing opportunities at J-2 since 1988 and at Kingsley Dam since 1990. The eagles are attracted to feed on fish in the open water below the plants, particularly when rivers and lakes in the area are covered with ice.
Several factors influence the number of eagles seen from the facilities on any given day, including climatic conditions, ice coverage on area bodies of water, how many eagles are wintering in the area, and whether the hydroplants are on-line. The best viewing time is normally earlier in the day. There is no charge to visit the facilities.
For more information about eagles and viewing opportunities, visit Central's web page at www.cnppid.com or call 308-995-8601.

Years ago, an editor/mentor advised me never to cover legal battles between companies in this industry. He'd always say, "There's no good to be had from covering this stuff. The story's always so much more complicated than anybody every fesses up to, so just don't go there."
So, how about this? Shall we accentuate the positive and decentuate the negative? You think that's stupid, naive, not gritty enough? Well, y'all know where to go if you want to accentuate the negative and decentuate the positive. Y'all know where to go if you want the rumors and innuendo.
If, however, you'd rather start off your week with something a bit more upbeat, stick around.

Libertarian Heresy
You don't often find Commonweal hunting heretics. In the latest issue, Daniel Finn takes aim at Fr. Robert Sirico of the Acton Institute and other Catholics who force fit Catholic social teaching into free market ideology. Sirico, he says, "uses his tendentious view of law and morality to conclude that raising taxes to help others is unchristian, since citizens have no choice but to pay the tax... One wonders if this conviction hasn't been engendered by a libertarian view of government actions, where such redistribution is always immoral." Commonweal isn't alone in recognizing this distortion of Church teaching, which has always recognized the authority of government to balance private property rights with the "universal destination of goods." There is a silent majority of orthodox Catholics who resent Acton and other Catholic think tanks that are so well-funded by wealthy pro-big business donors that they're able to drown out genuine Catholic social teaching. Finn thinks its time that "neoconservative Catholics inquire into the influence of libertarianism on their work and, most importantly, that they make Catholic moral theology the standard for judging right-wing claims about morality in economic life-and not the other way around."

On The Road Through Nothingness
It's rare to see a positive story about the Catholic Church in the mainstream media, especially in newer online-only publications like Slate, but Harold Fickett, a Godspy contributing editor, managed to publish an essay there recently about the Clear Creek Monastery, a new and growing contemplative Benedictine monastery in Kansas, and the wider story of how Catholic religious communities are attracting young people. It could be that the critical success of the three-hour documentary, Into Great Silence, which had a long run at Manhattan's Film Forum in 2007, left an impression on the editors. The appeal of that movie is captured in Harold's ending: "From its rich liturgical rites to the pastoral details of its life as a working farm, as the monks raise sheep, make furniture, tend their orchard, and care for a huge vegetable garden, Clear Creek is what a monastery is meant to be—a sign of paradise. Father Anderson says, 'We were only a bunch of bums, but by becoming nothing, you can be a part of something great.'" READ MORE >

Benedict's Discomforting Message
"Benedict directly challenged an assumption so many Americans make about religion: that it is a matter of private devotion with few public implications. Not true, said the pope. 'Any tendency to treat religion as a private matter must be resisted,' he told the country's Catholic bishops Wednesday. 'Only when their faith permeates every aspect of their lives do Christians become truly open to the transforming power of the Gospel.' That is a demanding and unsettling standard for the right and the left alike... This is the thinking of a communitarian counseling against radical individualism... Perhaps it is the task of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church to bring discomfort to a people so thoroughly shaped by modernity, as we Americans are. If so, Benedict is succeeding." READ MORE >

Pope: Why the 'dual-unity' of man and woman is important
"[it] is based on the foundation of the dignity of every person, created in the image and likeness of God, who 'created them male and female' (Genesis 1:27), as much avoiding an indistinct uniformity and flattened-out and impoverished equality as an abysmal and conflictive difference … This dual-unity carries with it, inscribed in bodies and souls, the relation with the other, love for the other, interpersonal communion that shows that 'the creation of man is also marked by a certain likeness to the divine communion.' When, therefore, men or women pretend to be autonomous or totally self-sufficient, they risk being closed up in a self-realization … which in fact reduces them to an oppressive solitude." READ MORE >

But now that Cardinal Ratzinger is Pope Benedict, he knows better than anyone that he is also the chief pastor of the church. There can be no 'Panzerpope.' His job is to be the good cop, a symbol of unity who tries to encourage people to live their faith more deeply. As he told a dinner companion about his new role: 'It was easy to know the doctrine. It's much harder to help a billion people live it.'" READ MORE >

If there's a dog that resembles a pug, it's got to be the French Bulldog. These guys are like chihuahua versions of American Bulldogs, just without all those cute rolls. In this cool tutorial, I will give you steps on "how to draw a French Bulldog", step by step. These guys are so pudgy and adorable. Though I've never owned one or seen one in person, I can tell you that they're probably hard to stop adoring! Do you own one of these dogs? If so, how do you like the breed? Smaller dogs are easier to carry around and clean up after. I'm not exactly sure how big these guys get either. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this fun lesson! I tried to make the style a little different and semi-realistic so y'all don't have to sketch down a cartoony one! Thanks for viewing and stay tuned for more tuts.

On Aug. 13, Kuwa Hassan's mother carried him to the German Emergency Doctors Hospital in a rebel-held area of Sudan. Four years old, Kuwa was feverish – suffering from diarrhea – and he weighed less than 16 pounds. He was barely alive.
The clinicians treated him for severe malnutrition and nursed him back to life. They put his three siblings on a feeding program. But when the time came to release them, the mother said there was no food back home, only leaves or other wild greens.
"I think they are going to be staying with us for a while," said Raphael Veicht, who runs the organization's hospital and three clinics in the war zone.
Last month, global leaders congratulated Sudan and South Sudan for signing agreements to demilitarize their disputed border and to restart oil production and exports.
But the deal didn't address the most pressing crisis in either country: the ravaged war zones on Sudan's side of the border, where old conflicts broke wide open last year after South Sudan became independent, spewing out 200,000 refugees and trapping hundreds of thousands more in a cycle of hunger and fear largely unseen by the rest of the world.
Now, with a covert American aid operation blocked by muddy roads and no progress on ways to bring help to the conflict zones, the humanitarian situation is worsening, medical workers reached by Skype and email say. The Sudanese government continues to block official humanitarian aid into the border areas controlled by a South Sudan-friendly rebel group, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North.
Veicht oversees one of the two hospitals in the Nuba Mountains, where the rebel hold is the strongest. Dr. Tom Catena, a Roman Catholic missionary from upstate New York, runs the other.
In conversations before and after the Sept. 27 agreement, Veicht and Catena described rising malnutrition rates, reports of starvation, and a ravaged and displaced civilian population that lies out of the reach of their medical care.
The signs of hunger began growing in April, when Catena's hospital admitted 11 malnourished children. That number has kept rising, and in September 35 children were admitted for malnutrition, 26 others were put on a feeding program and there were 32 malnourished adults.
Veicht reported that his hospital and clinics fed 133 malnourished children in September.
And that's only a symptom of the problem, both men think. Most of the population of the rebel-held Nuba Mountains is beyond the reach of either hospital. Even for the roughly 100,000 civilians who are within a day's walk of medical care, many are too weak to make the journey.
Veicht said that when he traveled to Kuwa's village of al Azarak last month – about 25 miles away by walking paths – residents told him that children had been dying from "weakness."
"What I can say for sure is that people are really, really skinny up there, and they do look really wasted," said Veicht, who compared them to the famine victims he saw last August working in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The Nuba Mountains may not even be the worse of the two Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North battlegrounds. Some 140,000 people have poured out of Sudan's Blue Nile state, where the Sudanese government has been conducting a scorched-earth counterinsurgency campaign that includes torching villages and poisoning wells.
Some fear that the Sudan-South Sudan accords signed last month could make the humanitarian crisis even worse. With the demilitarized border agreement in place and oil revenues expected to bolster its depleted state coffers, Sudan appears primed for a heavy military offensive in the rebel areas. Hunger is expected to be among the weapons, as it is has been in the decades of the region's brutal civil war.
A letter last month from Nuba representatives addressed to former South African President Thabo Mbeki, who's been mediating peace talks between Sudan and South Sudan, said the 2005 peace deal hadn't resolved the issues they faced. It warned that the Nuba people were facing "another vicious circle of never-ending wars and sufferings."
U.S. efforts to persuade Sudan to allow in international aid have failed so far, thanks in part to the icy relations between the countries, made worse by the attack last month on the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, which prompted the Obama administration to withdraw its diplomats.
The U.S. is supporting a joint United Nations, African Union and Arab League plan – known as the tripartite proposal – to open humanitarian access, but Sudan is refusing to implement the deal.
With that plan stymied, the U.S. rolled out a clandestine plan to send thousands of tons of food from South Sudan by road, until rains made the sole dirt track north impassable in July.
U.S. officials haven't publicly acknowledged the cross-border aid operation, but in an interview last month with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, the Nuba Mountains rebel leader, Abdelaziz al Hilu, credited the American food aid with saving lives.
"Thanks to the American people, to the American government, that they have channeled food somewhat, and they saved thousands and thousands of lives. But it was not enough. It was not enough. And the rainy season also stopped the whole operation, and the suffering has increased," he told Van Susteren during a visit to Washington with other leaders of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North.
This fall's harvesting season in the Nuba Mountains is expected to ease the food shortage, but only temporarily. Rains were poor, and the fact that thousands of people fled into the mountains as protection from government bombing raids means that many fields were never planted.
"The food situation overall looks fairly bleak for the next year," Catena said in an email. "We're anticipating food shortages throughout the year and high prices for the small amount which will be available in the market, a repeat of last year."
U.S. special envoy Princeton Lyman said he'd keep pushing for aid to reach the rebel-held areas – some way, somehow.
"What we want is the tripartite agreement. Because that is the best way to get the most aid to the most people," Lyman said Sept. 27 in a phone interview from Ethiopia, after Sudan and South Sudan signed their deal. "The question for the international community is what do we do if that doesn't happen?"
Asked whether the U.S. will continue sending food after the road from South Sudan reopens, Lyman demurred.
"This is part of what we have to discuss in New York," he said, referring to the United Nations. "That is not the best and most effective way of doing this."

I think the subtext here isn't the other girls wanting to monopolize Rito, but worried Rito may not want to monopolize her in return if there were other women. That loving others would lessen the love she would receive. As in, could he still love her as much as he loved the others?

seriously if haruna doesnt want such option then she can go f...k off and let other girls who are ok with this have rito... better have some love then none... she is kinda selfish and trying to backstab others.... lala is encuraging her and not many girls have such option but its not enough for haruna ;/ she wants more...she would want to have rito all to herself while beign ok with hurting lala and others with it...
author should focus more on other girls from now on and drop haruna subject for 10chapters.... have more Yui or Rin in it ^^ mikado or tearju would be nice too... anyway more Yui or Rin (or both) and im happy ^
offcourse soon nemesis will start to screwe around which will be very interesting too

The fact she hasn't outright rejected the idea is already a good sign. She just needs time.

Haruna's sister apologizing so much just killed me xD
But hey, I do agree with Haruna...harems are all fine and dandy by jealousy will develop quite easily leading to them wanting to monopolize Rito, breaking up the harem. Why do harems work well in the Near East? Because the women are subservient and don't marry for love but rather for business.
That said...I'm still hoping for a harem ending xD
And yes, Drunk Haruna is 10 times better than regular Haruna.

He can now see that there might be more than 1 girl in love with him and if he does create a harem of many, will he be able to love them all equally

One of the parts I really like about this series (insert "I read it for the plot!" joke here) is the way it handles the whole "harem" thing. In most cases it's used, it just happens without any discussion, as a convenient and wish fulfilling way to solve romantic conundrums. Here the real-life problems to it are pointed out, and the people involved are honestly thinking about it.

polgamy is fairly common through out human history (primates are pretty much wired for it) and the likely reasons it is not prevolent today is A) it was never santioned by the state in Rome or Grease do to inheritance issues and B) it being codenmed by the christian church. Frankly from what I have read Mormon polgamists famailies in the US tend to be no more disfuntional then the rest of us and plenty of them do marry for love.

That said, I hope they stop circlejerking and make Haruna confess already. Now that she's aware that she can have her cake and eat it too, it's time for her to stop holding up the line. Let the other girls get a piece.
