Sweet and sour; delight in the sweetness, let the sour intrigue with its sassy bite, blend the two opposing forces into something so savory that it takes your breath away. Sweet as the air that shimmers with the golden glow of autumn as we turn the page of summer and settle down to a new chapter. The bright sun has that eerie, mysterious beauty that one only finds in autumn as it filters through the leaves and bounces off of the white stone of the prefecture standing majestically, grandiosely overlooking the square caddy corner to our apartment building. Laughter and delighted screams from the little school around the corner float through our open windows as we enjoy the gentle breeze as one season opens the door to the next, bowing gracefully, accompanying her in.
Sweet is the season, sweet as being with old friends, sweet as the flowers surrounding us on the lush, green lawn of the Parc du Grand Blottereau. Strolling among the plants with Isabelle and Dominque, JP and I snapped photos, admired the strange and unusual flowers, secreted out the culinary herbs, admired the abundance of cacti and palms. This was La Folie des Plantes, Plant Madness, or maybe Folly, as you like, the annual flower and plant extravaganza held in this, one of Nantes' gorgeous botanic gardens. Sweet with the fragrance of all this beauty, alive and breathing the end of summer, vibrant with the sensation of autumn in the air.
Savory is the magic performed by 9 delightful chefs. Two days sitting, watching, amazed, entranced as these great chefs strutted their stuff, slicing, dicing, mincing, sautéing, showing us endless possibilities for our own local products, peas and asparagus, cêpes and mâche, fish and seafood. Le Festival qui Cuisine la Cuisine: Les Goûts Uniques: and unique were the flavors of this wonderful gastronomic weekend which feted the art of cooking, the creation of dishes and pleasure. Michel Troisgros, Philippe Vételé, Eric Guérin, Vincent Guerlais, Pascal Favre d'Anne, William Ledeuil among others shared secrets and recipes, shared their passion and their jokes, and I walked away savoring every second, understanding just what makes these great chefs so absolutely grand.
Sour is as sour does and as summer crept into autumn and the warm air turned chill against my bare skin, the political scene turned sour and the French threaten to take to the streets, to turn the country on its head. Amid the sweetness of this season of festivities in Nantes, the jazz festival along the river blowing her sweet, sweet words through our window, luring us outside to savor the rhythm, while the art scene stirs into action around our lovely city, the pungent scent of strikes and marches looms on the horizon, hovering around the edges of this beautiful season, threatening to turn the sweetness sour and leave a bad taste in our mouths.
But this is the season to mix it all up. Take the sweetness of warm, summer days, the scent of flowers in the air, the taste of ripe fruit on your lips, lingering on your tongue and pair it with the tangy freshness, the zip of something sour and create a dish so savory, so intriguing, so exotic that you clean your plate and beg for more.
I adore the savory and the sweet in one bright, vibrant dish. I love pairing meat with fresh, seasonal fruit at the peak of sweetness. I searched high and low for the perfect savory recipe, the ideal marriage of sweet and sour in one intriguing dish. And I longed to cook with the fabulously sweet peaches we have had this year before the summer stone fruit season has ended. And I found a wonderful recipe in my brother's much-loved The New American Cooking by Joan Nathan. I adapted it, teased it to fit with what was in my cupboard and threw in the peaches to bring a dash of summer to this rich, warming dish. Sweet & Sour Chicken with Peaches was the ideal recipe with which to finally use the wonderful bottle of Pomegranate Molasses given to me by Beth of Dirty Kitchen Secrets and the saffron threads from my sister Deeba of Passionate About Baking. Thanks, ladies, for these fabulous, exotic gifts! The peaches are optional here: this dish is fantastic with no added fruit at all, or I think that either pomegranate seeds, raisins or even grapes would be divine!
The chicken tumbles off of the bone, tender and moist, filled with the wonderful flavors of far-off lands. The peaches melt on the tongue while the almonds add the perfect, necessary crunch. The sweet and sour mingle, play off of one another and create an incredible savory sensation of Middle Eastern flavors, vibrant and colorful, making for one of the best dishes we have ever eaten.
1 chicken, cut into pieces (I used 2 thick breast filets, 2 thighs, 2 legs) or equivalent in your preferred pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
¼ cup (60 – 65 ml) pomegranate molasses, syrup or concentrate
2 Tbs prepared ketchup
1 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup (65 g) sugar
1 tsp salt
Pinch saffron threads
½ cup whole, blanched almonds or walnut pieces, coarsely chopped
3 cups (750 ml) water
4 ripe peaches, peeled, each cut in half then each half into 3 or 4 thick slices.
Olive oil for browning and sautéing
Heat a couple of glugs of olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven with a lid (less if your chicken is fatty). Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces and then brown lightly on all sides in the hot oil. Remove the browned pieces to a plate.
While the chicken pieces are browning, combine the pomegranate molasses/syrup/concentrate, the ketchup, the lemon juice, the sugar, salt and a pinch of saffron threads.
In the same oil (the chicken may have released enough fat to fry the onion in, but if not add a tablespoon or so more olive oil if needed), sauté the chopped onion until golden. Return the chicken pieces to the pot with the onion, add the mixed ingredients and the coarsely chopped almonds and add enough of the water to just cover the chicken. Stir, bring just to a boil, lower the heat to low and cover the pot loosely, allowing just a crack to allow steam to escape so the juices can thicken. Allow to simmer for one hour. Check the level of the liquid every now and then. It should be thickening but don't let all of it evaporate. Add water as needed, if needed. I did not.
About halfway through the cooking time, add the thick peach slices, stirring them into the sauce very gently so as not to break them.
Serve over Iranian or Basmati rice.

After the end of the first part, it doesn't make sense to me that "eons or ages later" the divider in your post it states that the good shephard is weeping over what the king of kings has done yet, they are one and the same and you have different end results from the first part to the last. I'm probably missing something here.
This poem is for those who believe that most of mankind will be lost forever. "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he finds it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance" Luke 15:4-7. Some time after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Heavens ask "Where are you going Good Shepherd? The Good Shepherd answers "To find my sheep. How far will you go? As far as my sheep. How far may that be? To the world's end. How long will you seek them? Until I find them. When you find them, will they come to you? No they will flee from me. Where will they go then? To the rocks and the sand. When will they stop running? When they can run no more. What will you do then? Carry them home" J Preston Eby. Eons or ages later, the Heavens preparing to rejoice at the Consummation, find the Good Shepherd and the Saints kneeling at the edge of a great chasm. They are grief stricken and weeping uncontrollaby. The Heavens ask "O Good Shepherd, why are You and the Saints smitten with grief and crying so? Shouldn't this be a time of great rejoicing"? The Good Shepherd, with a weak and trembling voice replies "My sheep are gone; they are lost forever". The Heavens ask "But Good Shepherd, didn't you say you would go after your lost sheep until you found them"? The Good Shepherd replies "You dont understand; I cannot find my lost sheep now. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords has cast my lost sheep into the lake of fire!!!

Over a span of 60 years, John Lo Schiavo, S.J., has done more good, raised more money, and had a greater impact than anyone ever associated with the University of San Francisco. What's more, he's still here, still working, and still touching lives as only he can.
Walk into the office of John Lo Schiavo, S.J., and you'll be surprised by what you don't see. Photos of "Fr. Lo" with San Francisco's captains of industry? Not there. Schematics of the many USF buildings he either purchased or raised money to build? Nope. Pictures of Fr. Lo with mayors, governors, and even presidents? Well, just one (and that's a story all its own).
What you will find mixed in with images of saints and landscapes of his beloved Florence, Italy in his fourth floor office in the Rossi Building on Lone Mountain (the campus he purchased in 1978) are dozens of small snapshots, family photos really, lining his windowsill. Fr. Lo with a husband, wife, and their children, many or all of whom he baptized. Fr. Lo with a bride and groom, whom he likely just married. Fr. Lo with a young girl at her first Communion. It's images such as these that at once belie the scope of his impact at his university and in his city and yet paint a picture of this Jesuit priest who, in his association with USF that dates back 60 years, has touched more lives than anyone in the institution's storied history.
To say that he is universally loved, revered, respected, and cherished is not an overstatement. He possesses an underplayed and subtle sense of humor that surprises and disarms even the toughest adversary. And, now 85, this former USF president and current chancellor maintains a regimen that rivals that of any modern day corporate CEO.
Officially in the office three days a week, Fr. Lo's schedule also includes Thursday golf games with fellow Jesuits or friends at San Francisco's prestigious Olympic Club. Though he's not obligated to work on Fridays, he's often back in the office. "What am I going to do?" he asked with a smile. "I don't want to just sit in my room." Add to that saying Mass at 7 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Carmelite Monastery of Cristo Rey across the street from St. Ignatius Church, attending a variety of university and civic events, anointing the sick, presiding at funerals, weddings, and baptisms, and you've got a schedule that makes it hard for Fr. Lo to even set up a simple lunch date, or, more to the point, for others to set up a lunch date with him.
"I'm a busy person, and it's harder for me to get a lunch date with him than for anyone to get a date with me," laughed long-time friend Dede Wilsey, president of the board of trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the entity that includes the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor, and a sought after fundraiser for hospitals.
"He's a community leader and an inspiration," said Wilsey, who, along with her late husband, Alfred Wilsey, has been a long-time supporter and USF donor. "There are not many people like him and there are not many people like him coming up and that's a tragedy for us. He's one of the great people I've met. He's been a good sounding board for me when I've asked him what I should do about things regarding museums or hospitals. He's a person of great wisdom and he gives great advice. He's an important person in the city. If you don't know him, you should know him."
Simply put, those who do know him, or at least know him well, love him.
"Everybody loves John. Everybody," said USF President Stephen A. Privett, S.J. "I think in many ways John is USF to the public. He embodies the university. I think he enjoys that stature among alumni and I think he enjoys that with the city and it's well placed and well deserved. He represents the kind of intelligent, compassionate, hopeful approach to reality that is very characteristic of Jesuit education. He's a very engaged individual with people and their lives. He does hundreds of baptisms, funerals, and weddings. The first person they call for is John. He's the person they want to be at those important moments in their lives."
To his credit and to his advantage, Fr. Privett recognized the respect and affection that Fr. Lo engenders even before the former assumed office in 2000. That is why Fr. Privett asked Fr. Lo to move his office from the main campus up to Lone Mountain, just down the hall from his own. "I thought given how closely identified John is, the reverence and affection that he enjoys in the city, I wanted him to be closely associated with the administration of the university," Fr. Privett said.
So how did this outpouring of affection and range of influence come about? What is it about Fr. Lo Schiavo that has touched generations of San Franciscans and 60 years worth of USF students, alumni, and their families? The answer, in part, lies with his longevity not just with USF but the city itself.
Born to Italian immigrants in 1925, John Lo Schiavo grew up in a house on Lake Street in San Francisco. He attended Sutro School until his parents thought it time he received a Catholic education and he transferred to Star of the Sea School. He later attended St. Ignatius High School (SI) where he was an accomplished basketball player, earning all-city honors. It was during his junior year at SI that he started to entertain thoughts of the priesthood. By the end of his senior year, he was convinced, in part through the example of the Jesuit scholastics that taught him and the visiting priest from the novitiate that came to visit each year, that joining the Society of Jesus was for him. He entered the novitiate upon his graduation from SI in 1942, at the age of 17.

Following his tertianship in Florence in 1947-48, Fr. Lo went on to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in philosophy from Gonzaga University and a licentiate of sacred theology from Alma College in Los Gatos. He was ordained a priest in 1955, but his association with USF began in 1950 when, as a Jesuit scholastic, he was hired as a philosophy instructor. He was interested in administration and left USF to serve as vice principal of Brophy College Preparatory School in Phoenix in 1958. He returned to USF as dean of students from 1962-66 and as vice president of student affairs from 1966-68. He went on to Bellarmine College Preparatory School in San Jose in 1968, serving as president there while also joining the USF Board of Trustees for much of that time. (It was at Bellarmine that he first met a freshly ordained Fr. Privett, whose first assignment was as assistant principal.) Following a stint as chairman of the USF Board of Trustees from 1970 to 1973, Fr. Lo was appointed rector of the USF Jesuit Community in 1975. Two years later, he was named the 25th president of USF and served in that capacity until 1991. His 15-year presidency remains USF's second longest, eclipsed only by William Dunne, S.J., who served as president from 1938-1954.
During Fr. Lo's tenure as president, USF completed the REACH capital campaign in 1982 that brought in $26.8 million, the largest capital campaign to that date. The funds were used to add a wing to Kendrick Hall, home of the USF School of Law, and purchase Lone Mountain. A second campaign was launched and completed to allow USF to build the Koret Health and Recreation Center in 1989. In addition, significant endowment growth occurred (rising to $38.7 million by May 1991 from $4.6 million in May 1976), expanded academic offerings became available, and the Center for the Pacific Rim was established. All of those events to this day have an impact on USF's students as well as all future students.
What Fr. Lo may be best known for outside of USF is his decision to suspend the men's basketball program in 1982 amid recurring NCAA violations (some of which took place before Fr. Lo became president). It was national news as USF was among the nation's top programs at the time, routinely playing in the NCAA Tournament. While the decision made national headlines, he says it wasn't the greatest challenge he faced as president (a tiny endowment and a dysfunctional business office were, he says).
"I thought it was the right thing at the time and I still do," said Fr. Lo, who had previously gone to the NCAA to acknowledge violations, apologize for them, and pledge compliance. When violations surfaced again, Fr. Lo was determined not to go back to the NCAA with "hat in hand." "I talked it over with the trustees and we unanimously agreed—with the exception of one trustee—that it would be good to drop basketball because we had to make the point that we mean what we say and we intended to be good citizens."
Though longevity often does breed admiration and foster influence, it is not enough to explain the tremendous affection and respect that people feel for Fr. Lo. That may be attributed to his personal approach to every one he meets, the sincerity that people feel when he's speaking with them, and his ability to connect with them on a personal level.
"One cannot over estimate the number of alumni and friends of USF who just plain love Fr. Lo," said David Macmillan, vice president of University Advancement. "He has helped so many students and families and others in the community—some just once, some for a lifetime. He is a caring priest, a wise counselor, a genuine person, and an elegant man."
Sally Dalton, USF associate vice president for development, tells a story of just how well connected Fr. Lo is and how well people connect with him. Early during her tenure at USF she was going downtown with Fr. Lo (who was president at the time) to meet with Fernando Gumucio, CEO of Del Monte USA. Not surprisingly, it was Fr. Lo who personally called Gumucio and secured the appointment.
"This was my first call at that level of executive with Fr. Lo and I was very nervous as you might imagine," Dalton said. "Fr. Lo was as cool as a cucumber." On the drive downtown, Dalton started to worry that she might not have enough money for parking. "So I say to Fr. Lo, 'You know, I just realized that maybe I'm not going to have enough money for parking.' "He says, 'Oh, don't worry about that.'"
—John Lo Schiavo, S.J.
They arrived at the parking garage only to find a sign that read, "Full." "My heart sinks. Fr. Lo drives the car in. At least three people come down, 'Hey, Fr. Lo. Hi. How are you doing?' 'Hi John, how's everything? Gee, it's good to see you...' The next thing you know, the car is whisked away to a special spot. There's no ticket or anything given, and then we exit the garage and we're in downtown.
"We're in the heart of downtown and we cannot get 10 feet before someone goes, 'John Lo Schiavo, is that you?' It was like being with a movie star. Everybody who saw Fr. Lo wanted a few minutes of his time, and Fr. Lo was incredible...gracious, funny, friendly.
"So then we get into the elevator and we're going up to the CEO's office. I noticed this very well dressed young man and he keeps looking (at Fr. Lo). He keeps looking and he says, 'Are you Fr. John Lo Schiavo?' And Fr. Lo says, 'Yes, I am.' And the guy says, 'When I went to USF and I needed some help, you helped me and I'm here to tell you that I named my first son John after you.' It brought tears to my eyes, and Fr. Lo said to him, 'I am so honored and flattered. Tell me about your family.' It's like when you're with Fr. Lo you're the only person in the world. He has that knack for making people feel that way. And then, we go in and meet with Fernando Gumucio and we get a big gift from Del Monte."
It's that knack for connecting with people that gives Fr. Lo such a special place in the hearts of so many people, including some of his former students. Rick Curotto '53, JD '58, had multiple scholarship offers out of high school but chose USF because he wanted a Jesuit education. In his sophomore year at USF he registered for Fr. Lo's epistemology class, and the impact it had on him remains to this day.
"He had extensive knowledge of the subject which impressed me and laid the foundation for my success in all my future classes," Curotto said. "He started me on my way to my goal of going to law school and becoming a lawyer."
In addition to epistemology, the study of the origin and limits of knowledge, Curotto also took Fr. Lo's philosophy class on theodicy, a vindication of God's goodness and justice in the face of the existence of evil. Curotto remembers Fr. Lo as a tough but fair grader. "You really had to show an interest in the subject matter and let him know that you were taking it seriously. He was very patient and he explained the subject very clearly," said Curotto. "He clearly showed an extensive background in what he was teaching. But, he was not an ideologue."
That student-teacher relationship led to a life-long friendship with Curotto, who went on to become a USF trustee on and off for 18 years with Fr. Lo and later John P. Schlegel, S.J., as president. What's more, Fr. Lo's teaching has stayed with Curotto. "To this day, I remember a lot of philosophers and what they stood for and it all goes back to those classes. He was a very good instructor."
Though he's not a former student, San Francisco real estate developer Angelo Sangiacomo '48 has known Fr. Lo nearly all of his life. They grew up just a few blocks from each other on 9th and 10th avenues in San Francisco and met when they started attending Sr. Serena and Sister Anastasia's catechism classes together at age 7 at Star of the Sea School.
The friendship quickly took hold as the two would spend time playing handball and basketball together before or after class.
"We made our first Communion, Confession, and Confirmation together," Sangiacomo said. "Plus, he married my wife and I. That was John's first wedding. He baptized all (seven) of our children and I was at his ordination."
They've stayed in close contact since then, with frequent visits, weekly golf games, Fr. Lo saying Mass at the family home at Christmas, and even sharing the occasional ride to doctors appointments. "If I had a brother I don't think I could be any closer," Sangiacomo said.
"He's just a dedicated person. He has a great way with people. He's very intelligent and has brought a lot to the university," he said.
Just how much he's brought to the university is an interesting question. Ask Fr. Lo how much money he's raised for USF over the years (it's millions, many of them), and he'll tell you that he never thought about it too much, but that it's not just him that raises the money but usually a combination of him and others working together.
"That's very much typical of John," said Mario Prietto, S.J., rector of the Loyola House Jesuit Community. "It's not about him. It's not about his accomplishments, which are considerable. It's always about USF and for matters ministerial and Jesuit. It's not about John Lo Schiavo."
Fr. Lo has not limited his fundraising activities to corporations, foundations, and alumni or friends of the university. He's personalized it on a grand scale to include significant contributions from his late sisters, Lena and Josephine, who hold a dear place in his heart.
Lena, 13 years his senior, was especially close to Fr. Lo, often advocating on his behalf to get him out of whatever jam he got himself into at home and at school. "When I was in high school I did get in trouble a couple of times and my dad went to bail me out (figuratively)," Fr Lo said. "He let it be known that was the one and only time he was going to come to my aid. Luck would have it that I got in trouble again sometime and my sister went and spoke on my behalf, so she had that kind of role."
That role also had included going to Sutro School to get Fr. Lo skipped a grade. Lena went on behalf of the family because of her better command of the English language. Fr. Lo's mother was too self-conscious about her broken English and heavy Italian accent.
Fr. Lo's parents came to the United States from the tiny island of Salina, northeast of Sicily. Like most immigrants of the time, they came with little in their pockets, but with determination and a work ethic that helped give them an improved quality of life. Fr. Lo's father, Joseph, ran a successful restaurant, Tee Pee, at 253 California Street (the name came from the initials of his uncle, a partner in the restaurant), and his mother, Anna, worked hard at home raising the three Lo Schiavo children.
When Josephine died in 2003, following Lena's passing in 1992, the accumulation of the family home and other assets the sisters left to USF totaled approximately $2.5 million. At the urging of their younger brother, the sisters had earmarked their funds to support Catholic education. Thus, the Joseph and Anna Lo Schiavo endowed chair was funded in the USF Joan and Ralph Lane Center for Catholic Studies and Social Thought.
When Fr. Lo discusses how his parents worked their way up and how his sisters saw fit to support his university, the words are difficult to vocalize.
"We had an uncle who lived with us and he left some money to my sisters, but in a sense my sisters controlled those funds," Fr. Lo starts. "They invested in the stock market, kept working, and they were never big spenders. My dad came over here with just a few dollars in his pocket…" The words trail off, the emotion of how his family immigrated to this country with little other than a thirst for opportunity is too much to overcome for a moment.
To this day Dalton sometimes relies on Fr. Lo and his relation- ships to get her into the doors of some of San Francisco's and the Bay Area's largest corporations and foundations. "Sometimes, it's just a phone call to say, 'Sally Dalton is going to be calling you. We have a proposal pending with your foundation. I hope you will take the time to talk with her.'" Without that call from Fr. Lo, Dalton said, "they wouldn't be talking to me."
Those relationships and occasional advice also benefit Fr. Privett, especially on matters of USF's and San Francisco's history. "He's an encyclopedia of San Franciscana," Fr. Privett said. "He's an expert on all things San Francisco—people, places, events, history, and so on. He's a real gold mine in terms of a knowledge base. I think he's the most respected and loved clergy person in the city at this point. His name is like magic. I've never heard anybody say anything bad about John."
Though he's happy to give advice when asked, Fr. Lo doesn't use his proximity to Fr. Privett's office to interject whenever he likes. "My thinking is that I had my turn, my chance to do what I thought what was good for the university. Now, it's up to him and so I don't want to interfere or go in and say, 'This is not right or this should be done this way or the other way.'" Fr. Lo said.
What he's not shy about sharing are his political views, and this is cause for some lively discussion at Loyola House, home to many of USF's Jesuits.
"I'm the only Republican," Fr. Lo said. "I take that back, I'm the only outspoken one." Fr. Privett said that Fr. Lo actually is the only Republican in Loyola House "because most of us are well educated and well informed," he laughed. "He is a voice crying in the wilderness. He's not quite Tea Party, but he's getting there," Fr. Privett said with a grin.
And this is where that photo in his office of Fr. Lo and a president comes in. It's not a photo of him and Ronald Reagan or Presidents Bush I or II but him and Bill Clinton, actually taken when Clinton was governor of Arkansas. "He had come here to speak at commencement for our School of Law," Fr. Lo said of the photo. "His speech went on and on. Several of us heard that he wanted to be president one day. I thought 'He'll never make it giving speeches like that.'"
John Koeplin, S.J., a USF business professor and member of Santa Clara University's board of trustees, is a frequent golfing partner of Fr. Lo's and he sees the divergence of political views in a comic light. "He has a good gift of teasing, especially those of us who might, shall we say, have different political views than he," Fr. Koeplin said. "Of course, it works the other way. He is an excellent target."
"I like to tease him because I'm a Latino boy from Los Angeles, and I remember saying to him one time, 'You know, John, the only problem with you is that you're from San Francisco, that you're Italian, and that you're a Republican,'" Fr. Prietto laughed. "Without blinking, he said to me, 'That's what's right about me.'"
Annette Anton '69, MA '83, USF's director of alumni relations, has also seen and been the good-natured target of that subtle humor. "He'll ask me how many people we're having at the Spring Gala, and I'll tell him 350 or 400," said Anton, referring to USF's annual alumni awards presentation. "He'll say, 'That's not so much,' with a smile." The joke is that in 2004 when Fr. Lo was honored at the Spring Gala, more than 750 people attended to see him receive the lifetime achievement award named after him (he remains the only recipient of the award). "That's the largest one we've ever had and will be the only one of that size—unless we honor him again," said Anton, who first met Fr. Lo when she was a student at USF in 1965.
In the years since he stepped down as president in 1991 to become chancellor, a title that for him comes with no official job description, Fr. Lo has been able to devote more time to his ministerial duties, something he tried to maintain as president but couldn't due to the demands on his time. In addition to the two Masses a week he says for the Carmelite nuns, Fr. Lo maintains a busy schedule of funerals, weddings, and baptisms. It's not uncommon for him to have presided for these milestones for generations of one family. Case in point the family of Helen and the late Edward Hennessey '74. Fr. Lo married five of their six children and has baptized all of their grandchildren.
—Stephen A. Privett, S.J
"He's wonderful," Helen Hennessey said of Fr. Lo. "I've known him since he played basketball at SI with my husband. John has always been a dear, close, loyal, and intelligent friend. He's touched our children's and grandchildren's lives. We're ever so grateful for him. All ages love him. He's a wonderful example for my children and my grandchildren. He's very comfortable with himself and other people are comfortable with him. He's so real and that's hard to find."
That comfort with himself is not lost on others. Many people have noticed it and say it is among the qualities that make Fr. Lo so likeable, so endearing.
"I think he's a very elegant, self assured individual without a hint of arrogance," Fr. Privett said. "He's very comfortable in his own skin and he's very comfortable in any number of situations because he knows who he is.
"In many ways, in the California Province he has the status of elder statesperson. This is somebody who does it right, who has preserved his equanimity through it all, and seems to enjoy his current status. He's not a guy who's looking back. He's not nostalgic for the good old days. He's very much in the present. And he's very gracious and graceful about it all in many ways so younger Jesuits look up to him and say, 'This guy's the way I want to be when I'm 85.'"
So what does Fr. Lo think about all of this adulation? "I almost fell over not too long ago," he said with a smile. "Someone said to me, 'You're the heart and soul of the university,' and I said to myself, 'This is unbelievable.' I guess we all like to be stroked. You know, humble Jesuits still are human. And it's nice to hear that we are accepted. So, I know people have been critical of me, too, so you add it all up and you say it's half good and half bad."
Others are not as tough graders as Fr. Lo. "He is a cornerstone of this place and we have a lot to be grateful for in terms of what he's done and who he's been for USF," said Anton. "I can't imagine how much he's done and how much he continues to do. He's still going strong, God bless him."
Fr. Koeplin summed it up this way when asked what life's lessons he's learned from being around Fr. Lo. "If you are a person of integrity, you can live your life with your head up. Don't be afraid to speak up and make difficult, even unpopular decisions. Be a loyal person."
For an association with USF that dates back 60 years and continues to touch so many lives, Fr. Lo has done just that.

Horrible-no smell to it
I bought this perfume because I had found this scent in rollerball form a few months earlier and loved it. I needed more so I bought the bottle of cologne. There is no smell to it. I have no idea what has happened from rollerball to the bottle of cologne but it is worthless. No smell. I wondered if someone at the factory is playing a prank and has only put water in the bottle. Very disappointing and I will not be buying any cologne again from this company.

Love this smell
This is a very rich sultry smell i love it sooo much . As a warning do not purchase close to holidays! I purchased this after Christmas and it took around 3 weeks to get to me because the distribution center was closed the week after xmas. I was kind of ticked because I have to sign for packages and the site told me the package would arrive 3/5 days ... No and I had to find out from customer service what was going on .. You'd think there'd be some kind of disclaimer :-/
Pure Heaven in a Bottle
This scent is so heavenly. It's spicy and sultry without being too overwhelming. My Husband loves it on me. I get compliments all the time. I'll purchase this forever!
lotus Santal Cologne
Love the scent, had to order more than one so I don't run out.
Lotus Santal Incredible scent!
I love this scent, I've been wearing floral scents for many years. I happened to be in a cute little boutique and picked the bottle up, touched it to my nose and walked around the store. Kept smelling this magical fragrance, I followed my nose and bought it! It's light, sexy, clean. The best fragrance ever, thank you Thymes for Lotus Santal.

Saab has confirmed reports that they have been seeking BMW powerplants for the 9-3. The most difficult thing for a small producer is to have engines that meet tightening emissions regulations. For Saab, having BMW supply the motors makes sense as it would cut a significant cost in automobile production. To just put it bluntly, BMW makes better motors than Saab and probably has a bigger budget for windshield wipers than Saab does for motors. Spyker, the parent company of Saab, is set to announce the deal at the Paris Motorshow. N55 SAAB 9-3 anyone?
BMW to supply motors for Saab 9-3 and potentially future Saab models

they should have kept it the Saabaru. My friend has a 9-2x wagon with the WRX drivetrain underneath. I like it a lot more over the regular WRX..got power with some class behind it.
So Saab has used Subaru, GM, and now BMW. I wonder whats next?

It's spring cleaning time — for code enforcementWritten by Caitlin McGlade | | firstname.lastname@example.com
If you live near the West Toledo Branch Library, you might open your door today to find a sign hanging from the knob.
It will either praise you or reprimand you for the condition of your property. The signs mark the beginning of Toledo's first "Spring Sweep," a program that deploys code inspectors to concentrated neighborhoods to educate homeowners about programs available to improve their properties.
City officials said at a press conference yesterday that the intent is not to punish homeowners who can't afford to keep their houses well maintained.
"Ultimately it depends on the property owner," said Chris Zervos, director of inspections for the city. "It's never been cheap and it's never been easy to own property but it is the American dream."
Mayor Mike Bell told reporters that this program is about making neighborhoods great that are "right on the edge of being great."
Code inspectors will hand out information about a number of government programs that can help fund home improvements, as well as information about discounts at private local businesses.
Prior to this program, many property maintenance code violations were complaint-based, Zervos said. The new effort is a proactive approach.
Code inspectors will conduct the program until June 20. Starting off in the Library Village neighborhood, the crew will later move to Arlington/Burroughs, Secor Gardens, Oakdale/Ravine Park and North Toledo/Point Place areas.

Historical Society returns to KillingtonBy Josh O'Gorman
STAFF WRITER | March 28,2013KILLINGTON — The Sherburne Historical Society is getting back together, with plans to restore the former home of the library and the Teen Center.
Historical Society member E.J. Willis is looking to reconvene the currently dormant group, with the first meeting scheduled for 1:30 p.m. April 9 at the Sherburne Memorial Library.
"The group is inactive right now, because most of the past members have passed away," Willis said.
The first task for the Historical Society is to explore the viability of restoring the one-room schoolhouse, located across River Road from the library.
The building was built sometime in the 19th century- records are unclear regarding the exact year- in West Bridgewater. At some point during the latter-half of the 20th century, the town bought the building for $10 and paid another $40 to move it to its current location.
The building was home to the town library, and later the Killington Teen Center, which has been inactive for at least the last three years. In 2011, flooding from Tropical Storm Irene damaged the building. During past meetings of the Select Board, Town Manager
Seth Webb said the town has received estimates to both restore and demolish the structure, with the former costing anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000, depending on its use, and the latter costing around $10,000.
The town has $10,000 left in flood insurance money.
"When I saw the Select Board was thinking about demolishing it, I thought this might be a great opportunity for the Historical Society to have a place to store and display our historical items," Willis said.
While the Historical Society has no official home, the library has become a sort of de facto dumping ground for items of historical interest. However, a broken water pipe damaged some old photographs and highlighted the need for a new location, said Gail Weymouth, director of the Sherburne Memorial Library.
"When the pipe burst, it really raised the issue that they (historical items) need some kind of preservation," Weymouth said.
Recently, Ann Cousins, a field service representative for the Preservation Trust of Vermont, came to Killington to assess the state of the schoolhouse.
"Structurally, the building looks really good," Cousins said. "When they moved the building, they reinforced the floor joists to accommodate the weight of the book stacks, and they're still in great shape. And, the roof looks good."
Cousins said the major repairs would be to the foundation, while restoration work would include removing the vinyl siding — which covers some windows — and replace it with wooden shingles.
Cousins said there are many grants available, depending upon the building's proposed future use. The Preservation Trust gave the Historical Society a $250 matching grant to hire a contractor, who will provide estimates for repair and restoration.
Tuesday night, the Select Board approved a request from Willis for a $250 loan from the town, which will allow the Historical Society to accept the matching grant. Per the terms of the request, the Historical Society will repay the money by July 1.
"We want to preserve the history of Sherburne because the history of Killington has been well documented," Willis said.
"We had 225 years of being Sherburne and 25 years of being Killington, and people will ask, 'Where is Sherburne?" Weymouth said.

I have had this mattress for just over two years and I love it. It is light enough to move on my own and comfy enough to sleep the whole night through. I am very happy with my purchase.Read More
Amazing Mattress!
I have had this mattress for over a year, and I am still very happy with it. It is perfect - just the right mix of soft and firm - and it has given me many nights of great sleep. I was a little nervous ordering a mattress without being able to see or lay down on it, but I am so glad I took a chance on this one.Read More

Working out just fine
We ordered this mattress for my daughter. It's comfortable and there was no smell others have mentioned. The price was reasonable, and the mattress is not too firm and not too soft. Now we're just waiting on the bed rails to arrive to make everything complete.Read More
Great Mattress
I went out on a limb to purchase this mattress because it was online and I was not sure how comfortable it was going to be. This mattress is great and has relieved the back pain that I was having from my old mattress. The price of this mattress was also great. I don't know where else you can find a mattress for this price and comfort level. I am very pleased with my purchase.Read More
Comfortable, but...
Before ordering this mattress, I read all of the reviews and felt confident in my choice. One thing that I was a bit concerned about was how firm several of them said the mattress was, because I was buying this to replace a very firm innerspring mattress, so I didn't want to exchange one too-firm mattress for another. But, the reviews all said that it was comfortable, so I took the chance. Now, I am a large fellow, standing 6'2" and weighing 270#, so I am writing this review from that perspective. Take it for what it's worth. As I said, many of the reviews stated that the mattress was somewhat firmer than they were expecting, but for me, that has absolutely not been the case. Perhaps if I weighed 120#, that might be the true, but as large as I am, the mattress gives way instantly. If I am sitting up in bed reading a book, then my tailbone is touching the bed's foundation. If sitting on the edge of the bed tying my shoes, the mattress is bottomed out. I'm not saying that the mattress isn't comfortable, because it is...very much so. But, it is much more plush than I was expecting. When lying down so that my weight is evenly distributed, I am comfortable and feel supported, just not as much as I would like. Honestly, I wish that I had gotten a mattress whose foam was a bit denser or would have spent the extra money on the Slumber Solutions 11" mattress with the extra layer of gel. But, for the price I paid and with FREE shipping, I still feel that this was an incredible deal and I have no real regrets. If you're a large person like I am, you might want to look elsewhere if you are in need of a truly supportive mattress, but I would say that this is sufficient. As for the odor, it was a little strong at first but quickly disappeared withing a day or two.Read More
The most comfortable bed I've laid on.
It came on time & with the help of a knife I had it out in mins! I saw a few reviews about the smell but I barely noticed any residual plastic sent. I also saw that it takes 48 hrs to expand to full height requirement; so I put two fans next to it in hopes of speeding up the process. In minutes it measured out to a bit over 8in but I can see even more room to grow in the cover in the next 48. I decided to finally lay down & immediately knew it was the most comfortable bed I've laid upon. Soon to be the envy of all my friends. I've never had a decent bed let alone a gel memory foam. The most affordable of its kind that I was able to find & you can't beat the free shipping on your first purchase when it weighs out over 50lbs!Read More
GREAT night's sleep, the first night!!
I have been an owner of a soft sider water bed for the past 12+ years. I knew it was time to replace the mattress, but was not sure whether to get another water bed or go with something else. Living in a 120+ year old house, I was a little concerned about the additional weight of a water bed upstairs. Have been interested in the iComfort and Tempurpedic gel memory foam beds but couldn't justify the price. Found this gel memory foam mattress by accident. Decided to order it as the price was right. And the description was almost identical to the other expensive brands. I understand "you get what you pay for" is usually the standard....however, not in this case. I put the gel memory foam mattress inside the cover from the water bed, zipped it shut, and it fit perfectly, matches the box springs.. The very first night I slept on it, I fell right to sleep and didn't wake up stiff or sore...slept GREAT. It definitely is much firmer than the water bed, but after a few minutes, you sink into it and IT IS HEAVENLY! For once I made a good decision - sometimes 'cheaper' is BETTER!!Read More
Great Buy for those with back problems
I've never slept better. Laying on the mattress itself makes me want to doze off into a slumber. My significant other enjoys it as well ;)Read More
Loveee it
I'm a big guy so I was nervous about being only 8" but does the job perfect.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello justme, this mattress has a ship weight of approximately 51 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us!
I'm worried about purchasing this product and it having a chemical smell. Has this issue been fixed recently?
Hello lindseytabasco, Memory foam is a hi-tech polyurethane foam, a material traditionally made from a range of chemicals, the use of those chemicals used in making memory foam, produce off gassing. New memory foam mattresses have this smell. Once the Slumber Solutions Gel Memory Foam 8-inch Queen-size Mattress is opened, you allow it to air out and the smell goes away naturally. The downside of memory foam, such as odor and heat, while legitimate concerns, can certainly vary and are not necessarily universal to all manufactures. Have a great day.
Mine did not smell at all.
Why did you choose this product?
Because i'm tired. Duh
My son wants a memory foam mattress and I trust Overstock to have good things.
I bought one for myself and LOVE IT! My son needs a new mattress and he loves mine so I bought one for him!

a friend has a gel memory foam mattress and i LOVE it so trying this one out after reading good reviews on it.
The price and the gel memory foam
The Price
cheapest option and best reviews
Looking for an affordable comfortable bed to sleep on.
I wanted to try the cooling gel on a mattress. I wanted an 8 inch mattress instead of a much thicker one. The price was very good.
I purchased a slumber solutions mattress from overstock several years ago and it is really comfortable. The price on the other mattress was less but this one has the memory foam gel so felt it was worth the extra expense.
Price and favorable reviews
Because it has gel foam
I have another brand- I hope this is as good.
Great price!
Purchased this mattress 5 years ago for our trailer. Sold the trailer, bought a new trailer and now replacing the OEM mattress with another SS Gel memory foam mattress.
8in will work better for 82 yr old mother, changerd order from 10in
It looked like the best deal for the price and what our needs are
Can we use this with a metal steel frame?
Hello dalluvdara, this mattress will need a firm support, you can use a platform steel frame as long as it has slats or a solid support. An open metal frame will not provide the support needed. Thanks for shopping with us!
Product details say: "Meets all flammability standards". Does the foam/mattress manufacturer use Brominated flame retardant? Could you please specify what flame retardant is used in the manufacturing process.
Hello JM, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
What is density of the 6-inch base foam? And what is the ILD rating of this mattress? Thanks, decision being made 02/03/15
Hello mercedes51, the density is approximately 1.8 and the ILD rating is 33. Have a great day!
Does this conform well for an adjustable bed?
Hello happyfiance, this is not designed for an adjustable bed. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us!
Is the 6-inch base foam also 4-lb. density???
Hello mercedes51, the manufacturer of this bed currently does not make a 6 inch version of this.
If you need to move, can this mattress be refolded easily to fit in the car?
Hello ecrazyshopaholic, the mattress can be folded and fit in a car. I hope this helps. Shelia B
Has anyone placed this mattress directly on the floor and how is it?
Hello ecrazyshopaholic, you can use this mattress directly on the floor and still be comfy. Thank you for your question. Shelia B
How long does it take for the smell to go away? Are you allowed to sleep on the mattress within the first 48 hours? Thank you
I laid the mattress out in the middle of the floor 24 hours before I needed to use it and it had its shape and lost its smell within 4 hours, so? we could have slept on it that night. I had ordered a new bed as well and it arrived the next day, which was my plan and everything was ready to go when the bed arrived.
Hello pshelley, please unwrap and allow 48 hours for product to return to its original shape. A few hours of airing usually removes the odor. I hope this helps. Shelia B
Does this mattress come with a box spring?
Thank you for your question, tgellman. No, a box spring is not included with the Slumber Solutions Gel Memory Foam 8-inch Queen-size Mattress. Have a great day.
how many inches of gel
No way to tell without cutting open the mattress. However, the mattress is very comfortable but does emit a chemical odor.
Agree..VERY comfortable but STINKS! I had to put in in my camper.
Is this price for just a gel topper or is it for a mattress?
Its the whole thing, the gel is in the mattress. my parents,uncle,friends bought one and they love it. you aren't sore when you get up.
The gel is in the mattress. Agree with the other poster-very comfortable, but does have a chemical odor.
Could you tell me, other than the difference in the brand name, how does this mattress differ from a Savannah Evening Gel Memory Foam Mattress? I only ask because I've been able to TEST the support of the Savannah, but none of our retailers carry this product available.
We think that it is the same as the sorta one we saw in store
Hello knightgirl, unfortunately We do not carry a Savannah Evening Gel Memory Foam Mattress, and cannot comment on how the two compare. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us.
The gel provides temp variance.
There are a lot of things to factor into a memory foam purchase. I recommend doing lots of research so that you are able to find a product that meets your specific needs. I also recommend THIS mattress in particular :]
Does this come with a box spring?
Does not come with a box spring.
No boxspring, but I would suggest using one!
No, must purchase one separately. Suggest a heavy duty one to hold the foam pad.
Is the cover of this mattress removable and washable?
Hello, candace51. Yes, the cover of this mattress is removable and washable. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can you please tell me what certifications this mattress has (such as Certi-pur or Oekotex)? I want to confirm that the materials the manufacturer uses are not toxic or harmful to the respiratory system. Thanks.
Hello, heavysleeper1234. This mattress meets 16 CFR and 1633 qualifications. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day.
bought this and now need to know if I can use an electric mattress pad with it or will that affect the gel memory foam?
Thank you ck2927 for the opportunity to help you with the Slumber Solutions Gel Memory Foam 8-inch Queen-size Mattress. The heating pads and electric blankets may be used on this as long as there is a protective barrier between the heat source and bed like a blanket or towel to just protect the integrity of the mattress. Thank you for shopping with us.
I need to know the dimensions of the carton and the weight of the package the mattress comes in. Can you help me? Thanks so much.
Mines didnt come in a carton. It was delivered in a sort of thin silk sleeping bag. It was about 5 feet tall and about 2 feet or less wide.
Hi mollydl, the box dimensions for the item are Height: 16 Width: 16 Length: 63 and it weighs 51 pounds at the time of shipping. Thanks for shopping with us.

Hans Model 20 Medium Pro / Post Anchor Collar / Sliding for SA Helmet
Model: DK 11231-321 FIA
Sale: $975.10
Product Info
Go To Product
Racing of any form is extremely dangerous. Vehicles must be equipped with the most advanced safety equipment to try and reduce the chance of injury or death during an accident as much as possible. Helmets protect your head, fire retardant suits protect your skin, and harnesses restrain your body, but neck restraint is often overlooked by racers.
The HANS device (Head and Neck Support) was developed to prevent neck injuries and skull fractures by restraining your head from snapping forward in the event of an accident. The HANS device is a semi-hard collar made of carbon fiber and Kevlar. It is held onto the upper body by a harness worn by the driver. Two flexible tethers on the collar are attached to the helmet to prevent the head from snapping forward or to the side during a wreck.
The Hans device dissipates the force of the crash from your neck and distributes it to your shoulders and chest, reducing impact. The Hans Device has proven so effective it has been mandated by virtually all professional racing sanctioning bodies including NASCAR, NHRA, Formula 1, CART, the FIA, and even Monster Trucks.
The HANS Device Professional Series - when every ounce matters. The HANS Pro uses 100% carbon fiber construction for the ultimate in strength and weight savings. Includes everything needed for installation to one helmet.
Hand made with high modulus carbon fiber
Hollow core reduces weight
Weighs about 1 pound - the lightest HANS Device
Top choice in Formula 1 and NASCAR

Tommy thoroughly explains each groove breaking each down to it's basic elements and performing each one with and without a live band rhythm track at two different tempos.
Special DVD Features: Special bonus a free Groove Essentials poster (courtesy of Vic Firth drum sticks), is included, containing fully-notated examples of each groove.
The companion book to the best selling Groove Essentials DVD, this book contains charts and play-along mp3 files for every groove Tommy plays on the Groove Essentials DVD, as well as several "Global Tour" play alongs to challenge players!
Students will learn the difference between ghost and grace notes (while being encouraged to experiment with both in all six groove "families") as well as important "go-to" grooves, like the Train and Bo-Diddley beats.
For more advanced players and professionals, GE 2.0 introduces the concepts of groove construction, interpretation and manipulation- training drummers to think like musicians in order to maximize their full potential.
The DVD features more than 70 new songs covering 4/4, 2/2, 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures, with three levels of difficulty for 5/4, 7/8 and 9/8 meters.
On the 3-hour, 45-minute DVD, Igoe discusses and demonstrates each groove in multiple tempos, alone and with a band, with many patterns shown on both acoustic and on Roland HD-1 and TD-9 electronic drumkits. The grooves span rock, funk, RandB/hip-hop, jazz (sticks and brushes), world/specialty, extreme tempos, all-purpose, hybrid, rideless, classic and odd-meters. These tracks also supply a variety of fill-in and soloing opportunities to challenge advanced players.
The companion play-Along book and CD contain over 90 tracks, including every song from the DVD in their full-length versions, minus the drums; allowing drummers to expand their skills by playing any of the grooves with a band and recording themselves on audio or video (optional) to help facilitate the learning process.

My three-year-old son is starting a summer camp, and we need to pack him a lunch. He loves PB&J, so we were all set for that to be a staple of his summer lunch diet, but unfortunately another child in the camp has a peanut allergy. So, PB&J is off the table (so to speak).
I'm wondering if there's some close substitute for peanut butter that would still work well in a sandwich w/ jelly, but is safe for those with allergies. (Analogous to soy milk for those who're lactose intolerant, I suppose.)
Failing that, any other suggestions for lunch options are appreciated. :)

Starting in the distribution department with Maddalena de Padova in the distribution department and later became partner with Enrico Baleri for "Baleri & Associati" , a communication and commercial strategies firm which operates in the contemporary design field.
He then founded and became art director of the design firm "Rari" and started to collaborate with different companies including Alivar, for which he created the "brillant furniture" collection, Blum, MDF, Mussi and Sintesi.
In 2002 he founded "Moco extra ordinary furniture" and designed "ptolomeo", a totemic vertical bookshelf that won the price "Compasso dOro" in 2004. During the same year he opened, with Marta Giardini, "Entratalibera", a contemporary art and design space in the center of Milan.

That's really nice! I'd call that Race Central....... Did you design the room yourself....I like the way you have the cars on a banked shelf. You must have everyone of Tony's die casts .

Very cool! I really like the slanted shelf!
ISIS deflated those footballs. And Tom. ISIS and Tom did it.
Re: My new gen6 diecast
I think my gallery is accessible for more pics of my lower level which is dedicated to mostly Smoke and Nascar. My wife is a huge fan also so we designed it just for that. I ordered this gen6 diecast from Bass Pro and it came right away. They have other stuff in stock. I purchase a cool hat also.
