when i worked at natural stitches,
an old, sickly woman would come in a knit.
her name was mattie.
mattie was wheelchair bound
blind in (at least) one eye,
and on dialysis 3 times a week.
she would save up her transportation tickets from her senior center
so she could come, hang out with us,
and we could help her with her projects.
she was always happy
and slightly outrageous.
i always had to help fix her ribbing.
now and then, i'd get roped into running to mcdonalds
to buy her a small fry. (with her coupon, of course)
she always made sure her nails were done, her makeup was on,
and always wore her "good wig" when she came to the shop.
sometimes her leg would pop off as she wheeled across the store to her table and we'd have to hand it back to her. sometimes she'd put it back on. other times, she'd simply plop it on the table and keep on stitching.
i recently found out that she passed away;
they blogged about it on the shop blog.
in honor of mattie i am going to reveal a photo.
it is not the most flattering photo;
the outfit i'm wearing is . . .
it was given as a thank you to my friend yvonne.
when we opened, i couldn't resist modeling it.
for the most part,
the photo has been suppressed
that is, until now.
(post continued after the jump)
i'll never forget you.
wherever you are, i'm sure you've finally mastered k2p2 ribbing.
p.s. yvonne, if you read this, do post the details surrounding the outfit in the comments!
and sloe gin fizz
May 26, 2012
my original goal was to blog every day
while i was in the greater portland area.
i also promise myself i'm going to eat better and exercise.
let's get real for a moment,
and see if i can tell you about my trip.
hmm . . .
day one was a beach adventure/excursion/extravaganza,
a sunny day of photography, sandy toes, and general irreverence.
and of course what day at the beach is complete
without a dead sea lion in a front loader?(sea corpse has a very distinct scent)
i spent the day with tina and her two lovely daughters
who reminded me that teenagers are really just adults
with fewer miles under their belt.
(is that a mixed metaphor?)
when we returned,
i met tina's other children:
apparently, chickens love to eat kale.
who knew?
the rest of my days were a blur of
cozy fires
and knitting.
i managed to finish up my spruce forest shawl,
and the rain gave way just long enough for a photoshoot.
i even found a couple models to zhoosh up the shot.
the yarn is marine silk sport in the 'spruced' color way.
i've given up trying to photograph the true color of this yarn;
the silk content and sea cell make it impossible for an amateur like me.
what i love about this color way is that the dye breaks at some point in the process, leaving patches of blue and yellow in the yarn. this process is apparently unpredictable, and therefore the color way has been discontinued. blue moon will, of course, make it upon request. i highly recommend it, especially in this yarn. just make sure to get it all at once if you want your skeins to be at all similar.
this shawl is beautiful when finished,
but the beauty is matched by it's fussiness.
i do not care for nupp-knitting,
or the bottom up construction.
it was, however, worth it;
the results speak for themselves.
with one shawl completed,
i decided to dust off my shetland tea shawl.
it was the first lace project i ever cast on
and will soon celebrate its third birthday!
i can't abide its w.i.p. status any longer.
so i grabbed a cat and got to work.
the cat was really there for moral support.
she's not good for much else.
but even with the support of a cat
i could barely complete a round a day.
those last few rounds have so. many. stitches!
knitting all those stitches
i became hyper aware of the silence,
the sound of the rain falling on the deck,
heck, i could even hear the humming birds at the bird feeder!
apparently, i must've had a crazed look in my eye or something
because tina could tell i was getting a little stir crazy.
so she put me to work in the barn.
i learned a heck of a lot in there,
most of which i can't tell you.
what i can tell you is
it's fucking hard work.
i can almost guarantee none of you realize how much work actually goes into the whole process, unless maybe you've worked in a factory. i worked about a half shift and i was pooped.
it's basically a yarny sweatshop in there.
(literally. it's hot in the barn)
that little bit of work really helped me to appreciate just how special hand painted yarns are. we're lucky to knit in a time when we have easy access to such beautiful yarns. i would much rather give my money to people who are working their asses off to make something unique and special. i know exactly where my money's going and, to me, it's worth the cost. but that's just me.
the next day
i got to play instead of work
and dyed all these rare gems.
it pays to know the lady with a barn.
we ended my visit with a binge at gino's.
if you live in or around portland,
you must go to gino's
the tiramisu alone is worth it.
we chose gino's because deb accuardi owns it and also works at blue moon.
she's an amazing cook, knows a heck of a lot about gardening,
and had been cracking my ass up all week.
if you meet her,
ask her about her salamander story.
i almost peed in the car when she told it.
(i want that tiramisu recipe deb. stat!)
i think that just about covers it.
i survived an epically turbulent flight,
swung by my parents house to pick up mr. mo,
and am thoroughly ensconced in my apartment . . .
. . .asking myself why i don't live in portland.
a marriage in chicagoland or put a bird on it
May 18, 2012
first, allow me to clarify my last post:
my dad had some surgery.
it went well.
he's home now.
it may have been a little mean
casually mentioning i was in a hospital
but wasn't it a good suspense builder?
currently, i'm headed off to a reclusive week in oregon;
my exact whereabouts are known by a select few.
more on that later as things develop.
but i can't go off on one trip
before i fill you in on my last one.
one of my dearest friends in the world, caroline,
got married last weekend on the outskirts of chicago.
frankly, weddings and marriage aren't really my thing,
but she's one of those friends where not attending was unthinkable.
there are few people in my life that i can say i have been friends with for more than a decade; caroline is one of them.
veronica went as my date,
and i'm really glad i brought her along.
because as soon as i saw caroline in the church,
standing in her wedding gown, ready to walk down that aisle,
i fucking lost it.
i cried.
it was a quiet, dignified cry,
but i cried in public nevertheless.
it didn't help that care was crying as well,
but i really can't explain why, exactly, i cried.
i couldn't tell you why if my life depended on it.
but it did.
luckily the priest started talking,
and his spiel about god and love
turned my tears to a frown.
it's odd that,
however uncatholic i've become,
i remain catholic nonetheless.
for instance.
even though i thought most everything the priest said was some strightup bullshit, i was totally pissed at the people in front of me who were chewing gum, irritated by the fact that we don't kneel anymore apparently, and baffled by the new 'version' of the mass.
how can i care about stuff like that
when i find the content of the situation to be . . . unpalatable?
i digress.
the important thing
is that there was something special about being there to witness an event that was meaningful to one of my best friends.
i feel really lucky to have been there.
plus i looked totally fly.
as for the rest of my trip to chicago . . .
it would take too long to tell you everything.
instead, i give these two photos:
i think that about sums it up.
see you in portland, bitches!
p.s. i'm publishing this on a plane! my broad-ass shoulders may be crammed between into the middle seat, but wifi at 34000ft makes life worth living!
March 25, 2012
depending on which side of the family tree you look at,
i'm either fifth or sixth generation michigander.
i'm also the first generation
not to grow up in detroit.
my family emigrated from ireland and settled in detroit
and did all those big life things in the motor city:
burial (i discovered our family plot)
all with a particular irish catholic flare.
my grandmother's grandfather was chief of police.
my grandfather's grandfather built a house there for a staggering sum.
(though that might be the german side. not as popular in the family lore)
last time we checked, someone's still living in it.
the same feeling that made me weep when i found my ancestral knock in co. kerry i often feel when i go to detroit.
getting to know detroit
makes me feel closer to my family history.
it may be silly or illogical or whatever,
but it's something i enjoy doing.
this saturday,
i was lucky enough to make it to john k. king used and rare books.
(sorry for the photo quality. clouds + iphone + no photoshop = reality)
the connection to my knitting blog?it used to be a glove factory!
though, i think they may have been sewn,
not knitted.
walking around a factory
that purports to have 1,000,000 books. . .
overwhelming just isn't a big enough word.
being there ignited the hoarder within
and i left with more books that i need.
while i doubt any of my family members went there
it's still a really cool piece of detroit history.
and now, it's part of mine.
just wanting to share a good thing
February 5, 2012
i got a package today.
yes another one.
(i've considered changing the blog to 'bitches get packages')
but this one didn't arrive at my doorstep, oh no.
i had to track this bitch down.
stupid post office put that little brown sheet in my mailbox
the one that tells you you have to pick it up, you know?
but it was tucked against the front
so i didn't see it for 2 days!
so i hauled my ass to ass nowhere lansing
where the post office was holding it hostage.
i handed over the brown paper
and my passport which elicited a
"what in the hell is this?" from the postal worker.
apparently she'd never seen a passport before.
then it took a manager to find my package,
because someone had checked the wrong box or something.
wanna know where it was?
right freakin' next to the worker bee.
if she had reached 3 feet to her right,
she would have touched it.
in any case,
i have it now.
the package that is.
wanna know what it was?
rockin' sock club, bitches!
now, lest you think me an unfrugal grad student,
this membership is courtesy of an anonymous sugar mama/daddy.
that's right. someone made a generous donation to the bitches get stitches happiness fund in the form of a rockin' sock club gift card.
i'm one lucky son of a bitch.
while i actually think that rockin' sock club is underpriced, especially if you compare it to what you get from other clubs. my guess is tina does it on purpose so more people can afford to be in the club.
she's cool like that.
(seriously, have you checked out other yarn clubs? crazy pricey!)
still, it's always been just out of my budget.
don't get me wrong. i've dropped some dough on yarn in my time,
but generally, i'm a layaway guy when it comes to big yarn purchases.
(excluding, of course, fiber festivals or travel. that's what debt is for)
and because i'm not really a sock knitter,
i've never been able to justify sock club.
luckily, i don't have to!
[insert mental .gif of me doing a salacious victory/booty dance]
it's the little things.
i plan to treat myself today with a cup of tea and the dyer's notes.
i think the blue mooners would want it that way.
ps what should i knit with this?
have i mentioned
January 10, 2012
how much i love getting packages?
because i really, really do.
back around my birthday,
when i was in new york turning twenty seven,
a package was sent to my old pittsburgh address.
(this happens when someone moves as often as i do)
it was from blue moon fiber arts.
generally speaking, i know when a package is coming from blue moon
because, generally speaking, i've placed an order with them.
not so in this case.
(i think i remember getting a little aroused)
luckily, veronica still lives at the old abode.
i knew it was going to be a while before it was sent on to me,
since, with all the holidays, veronica wasn't there to forward it.
yesterday, it finally arrived on my stoop. i may have squeed.
(note: can you imagine being me, knowing you have a package, and then having to wait for three whole weeks to get it? brutal)
then i thought of the blog, as i often do.
i thought, this is totally blog worthy; it must be blogged.
(i have so little material these days)
but it was dark out when i got home
and therefore i couldn't take a good photo.
so i waited.
yes people, i waited until the sun came up so i could properly document the moment and share it with you all.
i believe this shows some growth on my part.
so when the sun shone through my windows,
i went to work.
a skein of twisted in 'grawk'
and a skein of mopsy in 'pining for ewe'
(i need to ask frankie for a refresher on how to shoot true colors)
regardless, these colors are perfect.
you can never go wrong giving me a green,
but this deep purpley blue has this acid yellow on the back
that just. kills me.
the crazy thing is i've been planning my rhinebeck sweater
(yes i know rhinebeck is in october, but i will not fail this year)
and i wanted to try knitting some mopsy for it.
it seems like it might be meant to be.
but i kinda don't want to knit this yarn.
it might go into the precious 'keep forever' section of the stash.
we shall see.
the card is unsigned,
but the sender has the handwriting of a serial killer.
that can only mean it came from one person.
thanks santina!
edit: i just looked up the description for grawk – raspberries in pond scum drowned in black. loud and just a wee bit obnoxious. attention is what he craves and he will get it. from the primordial ooze, he has risen to wreak a bit of havoc. trickster? definitely! hmmm
the persistent desire
December 16, 2011
i'm no buddhist.
by which i mean,
i thoroughly enjoy
and revel in
i desire desire,
in all its many forms:
an unfortunate combination of events meant i would not be able to do anything fun to honor my epic 27th birthday.
(it has special meaning for me)
my longing was all the more poignant because
veronica, my best friend in all the world
and former bitches get stitches model,
would be in new york city,
and had been pleading
with me to come too.
it wasn't going to happen.
instead, my birthday would entail
a half-bottle of whiskey and blog post
enumerating the many things i want to have,
from extravagant designer leather goods
to a smile from the cute phd student
in the college of ______.
(i need some secrets)
languishing in pre-birthday despair,
i looked at all the $700 flights to nyc,
wishing somehow i would find a grand
tucked in my the crannies of my couch.
then, a miracle. the heavens opened up,
and the expedia.com gods' light shone down
on poor, wayward graduate student, steven a.,
offering me a round trip flight to nyc for $160.
to any of my peeps in the nyc,
my stay there will be brief.
so let's coordinate a time
for us to meet up so you
can give me my presents.
happy birthday to me, bitches!
September 5, 2011
a daylight search found mo trapped on our property. he is a little guy after all, and country life can be perilous for a city pup. when i came upon him, he was just lying there calmly, waiting to be rescued. when he saw me, he gave me eyes that said, "ok you're here now. take me home." after a few rounds around the house at lightning speed, he is now sleeping happily at my feet.
thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
not only did it provide extreme comfort when i felt alone,
i have to believe that somehow they brought us back together.
i've moved around quite a bit in my adult life,
and i've found the most important thing to do
is immediately set out into the world
and find some places to call you own.
having done my undergrad at michigan state,
i already have a couple places where i feel comfortable,
places that make me forget for a few hours that
school starts in less than three weeks.
in less than three weeks,
i will be teaching,
shaping the minds of american youth.
this gives me less than three weeks to get all the nervous vomiting out of my system. (pray for my esophagus).
the other day,
to counteract my nausea,
i thought it best to suck in some yarn fumes,
and maybe see what the weaving class schedule was like at woven art.
there are a few other yarn stores in the lansing area,
most of which are closer to me than woven art.
i've scoped them out in prior visits,
felt their vibes and,
for all kinds of reasons,
it's clear this is my new lys.
of course i wasn't really prepared for the fact that they "know me from the blog", and nancy welcomed me back to the area with a hug.
i'm very fragile right now, and that kind of gesture meant a lot.
it's nice a nice feeling to be immediately welcomed,
to know someone wants you to be here.
thanks nancy (and meg!)
then nancy really shocked me by asking me if i'd like to teach.
you have to be kidding me!
of course i wanted to teach!
and so very shortly i'll be offering classes at woven art,
easing myself in with some beginning knitting until i get my bearings.
they already wrote lovely blurb about me in their most recent newsletter to which you should subscribe.
why look at that!
my nausea is back.
we do what we must . . .
August 6, 2011
a long time ago,
a mason from ireland left
and came to the united states.
he briefly settled in brooklyn, married
a woman who's name has been lost,
and upon having a son, john,
finally settled in corktown,
detroit's oldest neighborhood.
this man was named stephen martin,
my great great great grandfather.
upon my birth,
my mother decided to give me his name,
tying me forever to a man without whom
i would never have made it here.
but in what can only be called the metaphor of my existence,
she misspelled it.
and so my ancestor's name,
already anglicized from the irish,
had now been americanized
in a city once owned by the french.
i've often heard that there's a lot of power in a name.
and this misspelling, i now feel, was a kind of curse.
nothing i seem to do ever follows a proper path;
everything must have an accidental twist,
one based on false certainty.
what this has meant for me is that,
while my life won't ever be what one's should,
it has been one that i wouldn't change anything about.
not one thing.
would i trade finding the "knock" my family left behind in county kerry,
or petting a panda bear while he at an apple in chengdu,
or walking the early morning streets of paris at christmastime,
or burning in the himalayan sunshine outside the potala palace,
or a shockingly thorough olive oil massage from a burly greek woman on the coast of santorini for
a mortgage?
a wedding ring?
financial security?
i can't say as i would.
but i have often wondered
if marching to the beat of my own disco
means i won't get the chance to pass along a name,
misspelled or otherwise, if,
in twenty years time,
i'd regret not
being more
sometimes i wonder if passing on a name is important to me,
or important enough to me.
i'm not sure, but
i wonder.
in what can only be considered the craziest of signs,
it turns out that my name will live on,
just not in the usual form.
(bien sur)
and so here we meet little steven ambrose (jr)
a baby alpaca, born on august 5th, 2011.
he's sure to spend many a happy day with sally of rivendale farms,
who you may recognize from the comments.
that email was a solar flare during a starless moment for me.
you're timing couldn't have been more impeccable.
thanks sally.
of course,
i'm allergic to alpacas.
this is my life.

This is a strange game to rate. It's not as complex as the main pokemon games but it's a strategy rpg, meaning not everyone will like it even before turning it on. I for one am thoroughly satisfied by what this game turned out to be. The story is a wash but it's the gameplay and the numerous amount of different things you can do that will keep you coming back for more. Pokemon fans will like since it keeps most of the original games' battle formula (each pokemon has a type that is stronger or weaker to another one) but it can be a bit more complicated since you only can use one move with each pokemon. It really gets you to thinking about how to best prepare yourself for the coming battles. At any rate, this is easily the best pokemon spin off game since Snap on the 64. You'll have a hard time putting it down the moment you start it up and that's the best type of game in my book.… Collapse
Jun 25, 2012Pokemon Conquest is the best Pokemon spinoff game created. It is and odd combination of the classic Pokemon game formula and a tactics game like Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem. This new equation works really well and paired with the setting of Feudal Japan it is quite fantastic. The gameplay flows very well having you conquer kingdoms and recruit new warriors and their Pokemon. This added twist of a tactical style of a Pokemon game is crazy addicting and fun! I honestly didn't think I'd ever get hooked on a Pokemon spinoff game but Pokemon Conquest proved me wrong.… Expand
Aug 4, 2013This Pokemon/ Nobunagas Ambition fusion might be the best out there for the DS.
Realeased at the end of the systems life, while the 3DS had already been around, it helped both DS and 3DS owners with a great game when the 3DS was just starting to pick up its greatness.
This game is a strategy game that uses the principles of the Pokemon games along with the Nobunaga gameplay. It is extremely addicting. As a matter of fact so addicting I stopped playing it because it took up all the time in my life.
There is always something to do, and once you have completed one thing, there will be something new, whether it is evolving a pokemon, finding a certain item, recruiting a warrior or finding and catching a pokemon to create a perfect link wit a trainer.
The only downside is probably that sometimes, all the things you have to do each round can become to much.
Even with that it is a great game for every strategical RPG fan, and especially for Pokemon fans.
If you are new to the genre I recommend it as well as it is extremely well made.
Perfect 10 out of 10!… Expand
Jun 20, 2012I have always thought that pokemon needed a change of venue, and this was a good idea for one. Taking pokemon and puting them on a grid they could move around on and make more in-depth strategies with was perfect, especially for my tastes. I gave it a 9 rather than a 10 because i don't really like how pokemon only have 1 more, rather than 4. I would have been more happy with 2, but i understand how 3+ would make it too complicated.… Expand
Feb 16, 2014An incredible game, don't listen to anyone talking **** about this game because they are flat out crazy. The AI is great, the collecting is great, the gameplay is great... The game is almost perfect other than the fact it doesn't include the Pokemon from X and Y and since that would be literally impossible the game is a perfect strategy title.
boom 10/10
Jun 20, 2012Much to my surprise, this game was fantastic. The odd pairing of feudal japan and pokemon somehow gels well, and the strategy aspect is simple yet fun. In a way this is a breath of fresh air Pokemon desperately needed.
Jun 18, 2012Great combination of Pokémon and Advance wars with pretty fun gameplay. Definitely the best pokémon spinoff ever.
By the way what the ass has happened with rating?
Sep 25, 2013A huge leap for Pokemon, Nintendo has tried something new with the series, placing it into a, while still turn-based but more Final Fantasy Tactics-esque role playing game. The player is given the ability to take over several kingdoms and starts out with one, in the setting of feudal Japan, namely the Sengoku era. An interesting take on the Pokemon series, the game does not stray too far from its turn-based roots, while still offering a much different take on how Pokemon games usually play out, aside from the Ranger and Dungeon series.
Overall, its worth its cost as a DS title, and possibly a good pick-up for those who enjoy strategic turn-based games and Pokemon fans.… Expand
Jun 29, 2012When I first heard about this game I honestly thought it was a joke, but, after seeing that it was getting good reviews I picked it up, and much to my surprise the game is really enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, just because your a fan of Pokemon doesn't mean you should get this game. You must also enjoy strategy games, like Fire Emblem, Advance Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics. But if your a fan of the strategy genre and you like Pokemon, get this game now, you won't regret it.… Expand
Jul 18, 2012This game is quite possibly the most addictive thing I've ever layed my hands on. Although it's a Pokemon game and the battle system plays quite like Advance Wars, I would say the game plays more like Civilization. Where a single game can last quite a long time if you sit back and level up or it can be much shorter if you try and rush your opponents early. I agree with the people that say the other campaigns don't have any real story but neither does a game of Civilization or most other turn based strategy titles. The gameplay itself is good enough to keep you playing and the fact that you can try using different warriors or warlords and the pokemon you've caught with each person carry over to later games make it all feel like progression towards and end goal of evolving all warlords and collecting all the pokemon, of which there are about 200. I would seriously recommend this to anyone who's been considering getting it. I've been playing it for about 125 hours and still have loads to do!!… Expand
Jun 21, 2012Great game so far. I was one of the skeptics thinking that this would never work, but I am pleasantly surprised! There is so much polish and depth to the gameplay, while being simple and accessible from the beginning.
Jun 18, 2012Pokemon Conquest is not a game that will appeal to everyone who will see its title, and even more so will have absolutely no idea about what the game is actually about. It's a sad, but true, fact when you see the title is dominated by the word 'Pokemon'. But for the well informed, this cross-over entry to the Nobunaga's Ambition franchise really shines, and has represented the personality of Pokemon and Samurai Warriors alike. Even for those who can't tell if Hideyoshi is Japanese or Chinese (answer: Japanese), it's a light and enjoyable experience deep yet friendly enough to appeal to newcomers and fans alike.… Expand
Jun 7, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving pokemon conquest this rating because it has in game tutorials, legendary pokemon, even a password system that make hard to acquire pokemon a lot easier to discover. Also I think that they could have added more pokemon from generation two but to be honest having articuno from gen one more than makes up for missing the three dogs, the raindow pokemon, the ruler of the sea and the time travel pokemon. But you know having articuno, mewtwo, registeel, groudon, rayquaza, dialga, arceus, terrakion, reshiram and zekrom is more than good enough for me.… Expand
Nov 19, 2014This game is just amazing.
I'm understating with a 10, this deserves a 12 at least. I freaking love this game so much. Since the day I bought it, I never sold it back.
Characters: The Warlords aren't just lame cut-paste, the warriors however are, but they're all different in a way. My favorite warlords are probably Hanbei, Hideyoshi, and Nobunaga. Oh yeah, I forgot; this is a spin-off of Nobunaga's ambition and Pokemon. Somehow though, it works.
I looked at the reviews and I saw negitaves. I thought this. "Why!? Why did this even happen!"
Story: he player starts off in the nation of Aurora with their partner Eevee , after being named the most recent Warlord . Then they meet up with Mitsunari , Kiyomasa , and Masanori , who taunt the player, stating that they are not ready to be a Warlord. At this point, two warriors from the neighboring nation of Ignis challenge the player to battle. Oichi joins in the battle to support the player.
I can't spoil more. You need to play it yourself.
Gameplay: Oooooh the gameplay. It's a typical JRPG strategy game, but it's easy for everybody to understand. No long explanations!
Overall Rating: This may not just be the best Pokemon Spin-off ever, but my #1 Favorite game.… Expand

Oct 27, 2012The strategy aspect in itself is quite entertaining, and manages to draw a fine line between being a real challenge and a breeze. Some confusion does arise thanks to poor explaining and bad layout, but this is overall a very solid first step into the strategy genre for the popular Pokémons.
Oct 24, 2012One of the last "must-have" we'll see on Nintendo DS. It's simply one of the bests and most original SRPGs right now, with many hours of fun waiting for you and very interesting characters to lead us through the plot.
Oct 14, 2012Pokémon Conquest is a better game than the idea of fusing Pokemon with Nobunaga's Ambition originally sounded like. Although the difficulty level is set low enough for kids to manage, even grown ups can enjoy Conquest's take on tactical battles and Pokemon training. [Sept 2012]

The invitation from Jesus Christ to go and evangelize the whole world is at the core of the Movement.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
6/5/2009 (5 years ago)
Published in Vocations
DENVER (Catholic Online) - The Christian Life Movement - CLM (Movimiento de Vida Cristiana - MVC) was born in 1985, in Peru. At that time a number of initiatives from members of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, now a Society of Apostolic Life, had already begun to bloom. Luis Fernando Figari, the Founder of the Sodalitium, conceived the idea of gathering those people and initiatives together in an ecclesiastic movement. Thus, the Christian Life Movement was born as fruit of an apostolate that had been blessed by the Holy Spirit.
As time went by, the CLM expanded to other countries in Latin America. On March 23, 1994, the Christian Life Movement received the Holy See�s recognition as International Association of Christian Faithful of Pontifical Right on the feast day of Saint Toribio of Mogrovejo, who was Archbishop of Lima and Primate of a good part of Latin America between 1580-1606.
The Christian Life Movement obtained recognition of the Apostolic See through a Decree of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, presided over by His Excellency Cardinal Eduardo Pironio.
From that moment the expansion of the Christian Life Movement has become increasingly immense. There are now many communities and individual members in different countries of America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Apostolic Vocation
The identity of the CLM is sealed with the vocation to do apostolate. The invitation from Jesus Christ to go and evangelize the whole world is at the core of the Movement. The CLM is committed to the evangelization of the world with four main emphasis: youth, culture, families and the most needy.
Youth and Young Adults
The CLM is committed to offer the youth a Christian way of life. In the youth not only the future of the nation is projected but also the present, they are the hope for a better world. The future of society depends on their education in the faith of the Church and their adherence to her, on their love for the truth, on the steadfastness of their convictions, of their coherence with the just and true values and their conformation with Jesus Christ.
The world today, together with wonderful technological discoveries and other accomplishments, also offers a sad scene of ruptures, a fracture between faith and culture. As Pope Paul VI affirmed, the rupture between the Good News and the culture, is the drama of the present times. The CLM is convinced that the New Evangelization, to which the Holy Father and the bishops had persistently invited to do, involve to take the Good News of Our Lord Jesus to the roots of the culture of the human being. Therefore there is nothing human that is alien to the proclamation of the Gospel
The family is the sanctuary of life and the core of all social life. Of its identity, its cohesion and its consistency depend the cohesion and consistency of all society. The CLM puts the family as a very important aspect of its commitment, because it consider that is the school where all human being can learn to live a life according to God�s will. The CLM encourages the family to renew its fidelity to Our Lord and to be a cenacle of love, like the Holy Family.
The Most Needy
The evangelic service of the CLM is vitally linked to the commitment out of solidarity with anyone that discovers in any way threatened his dignity as human being and his life affected. This is why the Movement is committed out of solidarity with the the most needy, the sick, the marginalized, the abandoned, the poor, the illiterate and each and everyone in which we see the face of Christ suffering.
Our Spirituality
The Spirituality of the Christian Life Movement is Eminently Marian. The spirituality of the Christian Life Movement is expressed in the motto: �Through Christ to Mary, through Mary more fully to the Lord Jesus�. In the Mother of the Lord we see the model par excellence of Christian life and fidelity to the Divine design.
The Christian Life Movement considers that each person is a basic unity. We see in that deep reality an invitation according to the design of God to link life and concrete daily experience with Faith, promoting the person�s impulse towards sanctity in an integral manner. We strive to overcome all separation between Faith and Life in the conviction that, like Mary, we must live a deeply incarnated spirituality in our daily lives.
The Christian Life Movement is committed to a permanent effort, to live and disseminate the gift of reconciliation as the �central theme in the task of the Church�, as has been taught by Pope John Paul II, and as a way of approaching the whole mystery of Christ from a dimension of plenitude and totality.
Associations & Services
The Christian Life Movement is made up of both people who join the movement on a individual level and associations whose members are identified with the Christian Life Movement.
Marian Groups, of either men or women, are communities of apostolic life for young people who wish to take their lives seriously and mature in their Christian commitment and apostolate. Each group is made up of five to twelve young people who, with the support of an animator, form themselves intellectually in the truths of the Faith and the teachings of the Church.
Nazareth, married couples of different ages who wish to deepen their calling to sanctity as couples, get together and participate in Nazareth. Through a program of formation developed in weekly meetings and other initiatives which contemplate the concrete demands of married life and the upbringing of children in respect and freedom, according to the teaching of the Church.
There are many other associations and services in which members of the CLM encourage the new evangelization. Services in mass media and education, as well as many others, are occasion for members of the CLM to announce the Lord.

Friday's tournament at StoneRidge was about more than golf.
Police in Port St. Lucie, Fla., are looking for a "burglar" who stole a gun and knife from Mike Maisonneuve's unlocked car in his driveway. But the act sounds more like an intervention than a crime. Even the victim is treating it as a wake-up call, according to the story as reported by WPBF-TV.
A $2 million grant to Barton Community College ends this month, but the work it started – job training for prison inmates – will continue, the Barton Community College trustees learned Thursday.
Music lovers came from nine states this weekend for Polka Days. The music and dancing that started Friday evening with the Wes Windholz band continues through Sunday at the Great Bend Convention Center.
Ten years ago, Houston-based consultant Ted Eubanks helped create the nature-tourism strategy for Great Bend that culminated in the Wetlands and Wildlife National Scenic Byway designation and building the Kansas Wetlands Education Center on K-156. Now Eubanks, through his company Fermata Inc., has been hired to develop "interpretive plans" for each of the 11 Kansas scenic byways.
Technology that monitors mouse clicks and other information is being used to combat identity fraud on the Internet, the director of EduKan said.

Barton Community College officials voted on bids as quickly as they could, but there was no way to rebuild the dining hall at BCC's Camp Aldrcih before June 1, 2015. So, the popular venue for weddings, camps and other business or social gatherings will remain closed for another summer, due to the fire that destroyed the dining hall last April.
A Gus Shafer sculpture that was never completed will grace the space outside the gallery that bears his name in the future, said Dave Barnes, director of the Shafer Art Gallery in the Fine Arts Building at Barton Community College.
Area residents may be sipping wine for an adult-only evening next year in the Great Bend-Brit Spaugh Zoo, according to Zoo Director Scott Gregory.

It was kind of exciting to post "I survived the Kansas earthquake of Nov. 12, 2014," on Facebook and Twitter, but it turns out earthquakes are becoming rather common in the Wheat State.
Salina firm Harbin Construction won the bid to build a new dining hall for Barton Community College's Camp Aldrich. The original dining hall was destroyed by a fire last April.
Members of the Great Bend Zoological Society had a lot to celebrate at their annual meeting, Monday night at the Great Bend-Brit Spaugh Zoo. But members were also saddened by last week's announcement that Zoo Director Scott Gregory will be leaving at the end of the year, to accept a job in Florida.
The Great Bend Recreation Commission is offering seventh- and eighth-grade basketball for the first time this fall. Sports Director Chris Umphres said enrollment has begun for boys and girls, and will continue for two weeks.

Tech News & Commentary
By PATRICK SEITZ
Posted 07/26/2013 07:56 PM ET
Streaming video leader Netflix (NFLX) is riding high from the 14 Emmy nominations it received for three of its original series. But comedians still did their darnedest to take it down a few pegs.
On his late-night talk show "Conan," Conan O'Brien addressed the controversy of Netflix offering pan-and-scan versions of many popular movies. The practice can result in the loss of 50% or more of the original picture and adds artificial camera movements that filmmakers never intended. Conan showed a video of one egregious example.
Fake news website The Onion made fun of Netflix's Emmy nominations by pretending the service was honored for some of its mundane, older content in the article, "Netflix Receives 10 Emmy Nominations For Season 4 Of 'Wings'."

Comedy writer Oren Mendez took a shot at Netflix's practice of airing all episodes of new shows at once, encouraging binge viewing. In his satiric article, Mendez said Netflix will make available on its service "the full seasons of all the shows that will ever be created" at exactly 11 p.m. on Jan. 1.
In other news, the Onion asked common folk what they thought about Microsoft's (MSFT) big corporate reorganization. "Smart. Like all visionary tech companies, they're copying exactly what Apple has been doing for years," one guy said in the American Voices feature.
New York City-based sketch and improv comedian Dave Herman parodied Twitter and the people on it in his funny video "Twitter Party." The video is reminiscent of Cracked.com's equally humorous "The Internet Party" (2008) and this year's follow-up "If Famous Websites Were People."
And finally, how about some jokes from America's late-night comedians?
This week, Friday Funnies has tech-related jokes from "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," "Conan" and "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson." Targets include Yahoo (YHOO), Facebook (FB), Sony's (SNE) PlayStation video game system, Apple 's (AAPL) iPhone and DirecTV's (DTV) new TV channel for dogs.
Fallon: There's a new Anthony Weiner scandal. Weiner is running for mayor of New York City. He confirmed yesterday that some new sexually explicit messages have been leaked. He sent them to a woman on Facebook using the code name "Carlos Danger." Which is still easier to believe than that other name: Mayor Weiner.
Fallon: It was revealed that Anthony Weiner sent nude pictures of himself to this woman using a "Carlos Danger" Yahoo email address. His wife was shocked. She said, "You still use Yahoo?"
Fallon: A new study found that kids have better relationships with their parents if they're friends with them on Facebook. That's good because if you're a kid who's friends with your parents on Facebook, chances are you're not really friends with anyone else.
Conan: It's rumored the new PlayStation controller will measure the degree to which you are sweating. In response, gamers asked, "What's sweating?"
Conan: It's been revealed that the iPhone will not autocorrect the word "marijuana." Yeah, that explains why the other night Snoop Dogg was delivered a package of marinara.
Ferguson: There's going to be a new cable-TV channel for dogs. Dogs don't even watch TV. But the schedule came out today. And they've got great shows, like "Barks & Recreation" and "Game of Bones."

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #63: Take a Stand; #650: Mortal Combat, Part Three; #817: Here I Come to Save the Day; #915: Clever Girl
Ellie 2 previously appeared in the first two of the Related Strips (#650 and #817), first as a special effect in the gang's zombie movie, and then as background prop in #817 (and maybe another strip or two?).
The title, of course, comes from the French supernatural drama (available on Netflix here in the US), The Returned (in its original language, Les Revenants). Tom, Joe and myself reviewed The Returned on The Triple Feature about a month ago, if you're curious.

Thanks to Blare Magazine for including Gary Clark Jr. in their 35 must-hear bands at CMJ 2011.
Dubbed "South By Southwest, but in New York", the CMJ MUSIC MARATHON has provided a stage for emerging musicians since the birth of the disposable camera. Though often overlooked, the music & film festival has highlighted a fistful of notables such as Nirvana, Feist, Green Day, The Killers, Run-DMC and The Mars Volta, giving industry reps and avid listeners a new artist to fall in love with.

Making it in the music business takes more than raw talent. It requires an unbreakable spirit, sheer force of will, an inability to take "no" for an answer, a scrappy sense of self-promotion, and a propensity for impeccable timing. Oh yeah, and a bucketload of talent. Even when all these stars align, the odds of landing a record deal and playing for hordes of adoring fans are still pretty slim. But a few people find their way into the spotlight, and with an unwavering work ethic and musical genius, manage to stay there long enough to help shape the soundtrack of our daily lives.

Facebook Launches In-Depth Guide For Businesses
Late yesterday Facebook announced "Facebook for Businesses" providing users clear and concise directions for properly marketing on Facebook. This is very similar to last month's "Twitter for Newsrooms" as both are official resources for entry level participants. The variety of marketing options on Facebook can be daunting for new marketers, but this guide does a great job explaining the various opportunities Facebook has for businesses.
The Facebook for Businesses focuses on pages, ads, sponsored stories and the main platform. It was a bit surprising to see the places weren't pushed further in the content since it's an area that confuses businesses.
Here is a look at some sample recommendations that Facebook makes about pages themselves:
- Set some goals: Use your goals to shape the content on your Page to ensure it is useful and relevant
- Share exclusive content: Post photos, videos, menus or other "sneak peaks" about new products and events
- Check your page daily: Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to post updates and respond to comments
- Create a Conversation Calendar: This will help you remember when, where and what to post
Of course this comes at a perfect time as Google+ is struggling with how to implement businesses on their network. Previous networks have fizzled out when new competition arises, but this announcement and the "Awesome Announcement" this month, are signs Facebook plans to stay on top of the social food chain.
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong! SMX has practical tips & techniques for those experienced with SEO & SEM plus a welcoming environment for beginners. Learn more!

We shopped locally for a few weeks looking for a 9 X 12 rug for our formal living room. Most rug/furniture stores had beautiful rugs - but high prices. I thought I would look online and found a nice selection on Overstock. It's definitely a gamble ordering something so large online. It would not be an easy return. Luckily, I absolutely love this rug! The colors, quality & fit are perfect. This was such a deal compared to prices in most stores. I would love to support the local shop, and do for most things, but it's hard not to want to save 50% for the same item. I'm very happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to shop here again.

T(ether) from Matthew Blackshaw on Vimeo. T(ether) combines motion capture with the iPad 2, turning the device into a virtual reality you can interact with while wearing specific gloves and a headset. The system uses Vicon motion capture cameras to track the position and orientation of tablets, user heads and hands. The motion capture system consists of 19 cameras mounted on a frame, covering a tracked space of 14 by 12 by 9 feet, where the tracking of retro-reflective tags occurs. The cameras are connected to a server, which processes the marker data from each camera reconstructing spatial position and orientation. Apple's iPad 2 tablets are used as a window to the virtual world. It seems a little clunky right now, but in ten years I could see this being an incredible way to construct and manipulate 3D forms digitally.

Jessica Polka is interested in the spatial organization of the bacterial cell. Having studied a plasmid-segregating actin homolog during her PhD with Dyche Mullins at UCSF, she is currently working on a natural and engineered bacterial compartments during a postdoc in Pam Silver's lab at the Harvard Medical School.
"Postdocs" may share a common colloquial (if not official) title, but their benefits and compensation actually vary widely from institution to institution.
This was a major finding of the National Postdoc Association (NPA)'s 2014 Institutional Policy Report . While we got a preview of the findings several months ago in Nature Careers, the full report was released just this month. The document contains data from 74 institutions; they are listed as respondents, but their individual policies are not disclosed. While I personally believe institutions should make this information readily available on an individual basis, the aggregate data provide some fascinating insights.
With the annual meeting fast approaching, it's time once again to start putting together your poster.
There are innumerable websites offering advice on poster design (my favorite being Dr. Zen's"Better Posters"), but most essentials are covered in Steve Block's 1996 classic " Do's and Don'ts of Poster Printing."
Some advice definitely stands the test of time (and makes me wince at all my past transgressions).
As the real (i.e., inflation-adjusted) purchasing power of the NIH has fallen by 25% over the last decade, there's been a lot of debate about how the biomedical workforce should adjust to the changing landscape. This reduction in NIH funding is imposing a hard limit on the number and size of stably funded academic research labs. And combined with the fact that there are far more trainees than available academic faculty positions , one option is to reduce the number of trainees.
Intense competition in the biomedical sciences has been a hot topic recently, pinned as everything from the impetus to commit fraud to a symptom of the overall unsustainability of the research ecosystem. It drives us to hide our findings until publication, chase down scientific fads, and leave negative data to languish.
There are many reasons for wanting to go to graduate school: You want to become a professor, you love pipetting colorless liquids, you really liked your biology classes in college, or you are burning with an insatiable desire to understand biological mechanisms. Whatever your reason, you should know what you're getting into: Not only does your future happiness depend on it, but this knowledge may also determine your success. Let me explain.
A collaborator and I are about to submit a manuscript, a process that is deeply satisfying. However, it also leads me to reflect on the inefficiencies of the current publishing system. For example:
● Traditional academic publishing is extremely expensive, and much of its cost goes to filling corporate coffers rather than paying for services necessary for publishing. For example, Elsevier alone pulled in $1.1 billion in profit in 2010, an astounding 36% of its total revenue. In an age of tightening budgets, this is probably not the best use of public funds.
Based primarily on the 2012 NIH Workforce report this infographic represents current workforce sizes and annual fluxes before and after a PhD in the biomedical sciences in the US. The picture is not as dire as that painted for the UK by this 2010 Royal Society report, but many of these figures are based on estimates and self-reporting. We'll have to wait for the NAS Postdoc Report for better data. In the meantime, that report's chair, Greg Petsko, has divulged some interesting tidbits in his iBiology talk: the data on postdocs are so poor, many institutions can't estimate the number of postdocs they have within an order of magnitude. Hopefully, clear data on these job markets will empower trainees to make better-informed career decisions.
A few weeks ago, we heard about two of the most popular tools for maintaining a lab notebook: Evernote and OneNote (now available for Mac). I'm a devout OneNote user myself - for my needs, it's fantastic. Then again, I'm mostly just making in-line buffer calculations, linking to other documents, taking advantage of URL annotations on my copy and paste jobs, and using the Snipping Tool like it's going out of style. But what if I had more heavy duty data analysis to do, or computational projects to manage? As more and more biologists are building their own software tools, it makes sense to have a notebook that can interface with code in a more meaningful way.
When reading a paper, I often find myself furiously flipping back and forth between the text and figures. This is most annoying when reviewing a manuscript, but the typeset pdf often isn't much better. One would think that html versions wouldn't have this problem, but in most cases only a tiny thumbnail is visible, and you have to open a popup or a new browser tab to really take a closer look. This is true even for the well-meaning PubReader format, which successfully replicates the experience of reading a large-print trifold brochure.
When I took the MBL Physiology course in Woods Hole, MA, in 2008, I couldn't have anticipated how powerfully it would stoke my passion for science. It was an unforgettable experience; techniques, frameworks, and values from the course continue to shape my scientific identity today.

I was planning a pale ale recipe and I'd like to add some juniper berries to the boil. I'm probably just going to get dried juniper berries from my homebrew supplier and crush them up and add to the boil. They're sold in 1 oz. packages. Has anyone ever brewed with juniper? How much should I use for a subtle, but noticable flavor addition?
Never used, but my two cents would be to use more like aromatics...juniper berries are obviously pungent so I would use sparingly to achieve a "subtler" flavor.
Recently, I have been toying around with doing an American Rye stout with juniper berries loosely based off of Sierra Nevada's Juniper Black Ale. So I emailed the brewer - I can't remember the exact number he gave me but I do remember that, when converted, it came out to be .73 oz per 6 gallon batch. He also informed me that they added the berries with a small dry-hop addition, and to thuroughly macerate them before putting them in the beer. Whenever I get around to brewing this I will probably just soak that amount of juniper in a couple ounces of vodka for at least a week.
Hope this helps!
I did a juniper pale little over a year ago & used .25 oz dry juniper berries from LHBS in a 2.5 gallon batch. Juniper was present in the final product but not up front. Was a very good batch and I'll do again using those same proportions.
I make a batch of Sahti every late winter (see my dropdown for the medal winning recipe.)
The key to getting balanced and not over-powering juniper flavor and aroma comes from boiling the branches in the brewing liquor.
I also did a sahti with juniper berries in the mash along with a bunch of juniper branches. I used .65 oz for a 3 gallon batch. The beer had a subtle hint of juniper which I thought was fairly balanced, if you were looking for a subtle flavor I think adding to the mash might work, for a more pronounced flavor I would add the berries towards the end of the boil.

In less than a week, the high stakes effort to put a gaming facility south of Dekalb goes before the Dekalb County.
The facility would be built in Shabbona. Opponents are frantically fighting to delay negotiations.
Today in Sycamore, state legislators Brad Burzynski and Robert Pritchard raised concerns there hasn't been a public hearing on what they called a 24-7 electronic bingo hall. It would be on land bought by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in last year.
The legislators argue state law requires public hearings for Indian gaming they also say there's been no legal determination if the tribe can operate on the land.
The pair is demanding before those details are figured out, any negotiations should stop. Right now, we have been unable to get a response to these statement from the tribe.

Sins of Our (White) Fathers: We Still Don't Get It
This weekend, I finally watched Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave. Yes, I'm over-dramatic as a general rule, but I can't remember the last time I cried like that (actually, it was probably after I saw McQueen's last movie, Shame).
The brutal reality of the film combined with the knowledge that this wasn't hypothetical–this was real–broke me. Further, it wasn't just real for this one man, but for our entire nation. The brokenness, evil, and callousness of it all was staggering.
And we're still doing it today.
No, I'm not exaggerating. The effects of slavery in this country are still absolutely tangible, apparent, and real. And frankly, too many of us don't give a damn.
There are still people alive today that knew slaves when they were younger. That's how recent this whole thing was. And yet, we've done to racism what we've done to every other thing we should engage with meaningfully but don't–we've privatized and individualized it. We've redefined "racism" to mean harboring active, conscious, discriminatory thoughts and feelings towards someone of another race.
