Merry Christmas to all!
I went to one of the"CEO (Christmas Easter Only) Specials" yesterday. The mid-afternoon Christmas Eve Vigil Mass. A nice, straightforward (and crowded) celebration. (Although I suspect more than a little blaspheming happened in the parking lot.)
We disagree. Pace.
I don't have a problem as such, I am merely observing. and trying to explain some of the history. In saying I have a problem you start off by ignoring everything I have to say, and thus your response is utterly off topic. In order:
1. I did not say 'reading', I said 'praying.' When you use a prayer book for your private prayers, are you 'reading'? My point was that the changes made were never mandated by the council, and I tried to set that in a historical context. You ignored that. This is your first straw man.
2: What does time have to do with the Church? If a thing is wrong, it is wrong whether it is a year old or a thousand. Same goes for whether or not something is right. The fact that the changes are now fifty years old is irrelevant to whether or not they were good or bad. And I go back to my point: The changes made were never mandated by the council. You did not address that point with this response either, and this is your second straw man.
3. I never said anything either about the Tridentine or Extraordinary Form. My original point in this debate was to say that Latin could be a unifying point for Catholics, as it once was. Many other religions have a sacred language. We surrendered ours against the wishes of the council. You have ignored what I said, and put forward your third straw man.
4 Your conclusion had nothing to do with anything I had said thus far. It refutes no point, advances no point, and adds nothing to this debate. Straw man number four.
Umm...quietly sitting in a pew reading along with the Liturgy isn't exactly the sort of active lay participation most bishops, at least US bishops, seem to have had in mind.
Anyway, what exactly is your problem with a change that happened half a century ago?
As I've said before, several times on this forum, if you really want an old school Latin Mass (ironically using the Latin Roman Missal approved by John XXIII shortly before Vatican II), it's not that difficult to find a parish that celebrates that form. The Latin Mass even is broadcast on cableTV.
I believe we've proven that the Church is a family, a very large, sometimes dysfunctional family, but a family.
The participation movement began earlier, prior to Vatican two, with the Pray the Mass movement, which advocated actively praying the Mass with the priest through the use of missals. It was enshrined in V II with a phrase that got mistranslated into the English as "active participation", which some took to mean that the laity had to actually be doing something all the time. The term used in the documents would be better translated as "actual participation", which included praying along with the priest.
am not talking about the current translation, I am talking about what was done in the wake of the council. There was no call- zip- in the documents for a new Mass. The actual Mass made from council recommendations was a slightly modified Tridentine- basically, tridentine with vernacular readings and a few vernacular responses. This, however, was nothing really new. It had been used, for instance, by the Jesuits Missionaries around the world for centuries prior to the council.
What happened back then depends upon whom you talk to. I am just old enough to remember the pre-conciliar Mass. My mother and my father and many relatives grew up with it. If you were to ask any of them if they merely sat passively and did nothing during the Mass, they would deny it vehemently. They, too, belonged to the Pray the Mass movement..
Hate to get into a yes, no, etc., exchange, but, to quote a book title, "H***, I was There!"
A major reason given at the time (the 1960s), for the then new post-Vatican II Liturgy was get the laity more involved in the celebration of the Mass and the Church.
If you comment on the Current (2011) English translation of the 2002 Latin Roman Missal, you're talking about things that weren't part of Vatican II's adoption of Liturgial changes, which was four decades earlier.
It wasn't "the bad old days" but back in the Latin Mass days, going to Mass was passive participation, except for beating your breast during the "mea culpas" and walking to the Communion Rail, with a pretty strong message of "be here or else." Ever heard, "If Jesus could die on the Cross for you, you can show up for an hour on Sunday morning for Him."?
My apologies, Native Son, I had thought your comment was aimed at me.
Having said that, I disagree that the purpose of the new liturgy was to get people more involved in their faith, beyond confession and communion. I have read the documents of Vatican II, and nowhere in them is to be found what we now have. Furthermore, if I am wrong and that was the purpose, then it was a failure, as today Catholics barely go to Mass, and confession is all but forgotten.
Lastly, I don't think your representation of the bad old days tells the whole story. Back in the day, people were vastly more involved in the life of their church. Sure, they didn't have much going on at Mass, but they were active in dozens of other ministries and groups centred upon the church and their faith. We lost that rapidly in the wake of V II, though much of that has to do with cars, TV, suburbs, commuter parishes etch.
I'm not sure who Sean was replying to in his comment. I do have to comment on Stephanus's complaint about the "structure" of the New Liturgy. Other than following a three year cycle of Readings, the New Liturgy is nigh unto exactly the structure of the "old" Latin Mass, as demonstrated by a comparison of the current Missals (in the pews) and the Missal (good for years with a calendar showing every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation) I got as a First Communion gift back before Vatican II.
Onething the traditionalists don't quite seem to "get" is that the reason for the post-Vatican II Liturgy (and recently reinforced by His Holiness Pope Francis) was to get the laity involved in their faith beyond going to Confession and showing up on Sunday.
Wow. You missed the entire point of everything I said.

I have many times walked on the beach at nightand gazed over the moonlit ocean and completely lost all sense of time. I sometimes just take in the scenery and allow my senses to drink in my surroundings or when I'm upset/sad allow myself to release pent up emotion.

I love the beach. I walk it most everydayafter work. The sand under my feet the scent in the air and the sounds all make me feel peaceful. And at night it's even better to look above the waves and see the moon looking close enough to touch and the stars dangling so gracefully all around. it's beautiful

When everyone goes, and you can clearly hearthe sound of the waves, the moonlight shines upon the sea, creating a beautiful sight... Better than the chaos and the heat after the noon.
Walking on the ocean floor at night with her,seeing her beautiful blue eyes gleam with the moonlight. Taking her by the hand, laying her down on the sand and making love to her. Then watching the sunrise together as we lay together on the sand, me holding her and not letting go.

I went to the beach tonight.The serenity. The waves crashing against the shore, the sand inbetween my toes and the moon shining over the ocean. It clears the kind of my inner demons and creates calm among the worries. The beach becomes my home as I leave all my worries behind and become one with nature.
Last summer I was staying in a house on thebeach and there was this crazy lightning storm. My family was pretty frightened but I thought the way the lightning illuminated the water made the ocean look even more beautiful. Of course, I didn't get any sleep the entire night but it was worth it!

Say what you wan,t but some of the best fashion is borrowed from the past. This week my style advice is to think about trying out a print that is far older than your mom's bell-bottom jeans or your dad's leather jacket. I'm talking about the tribal print! I found one Fashionista who rocked her tribal print in one of the best ways possible.
Although you can wear a tribal print in a number of ways, this Fashionista chose to wear a tribal print mini along with a few other simple pieces. The print is main element of this skirt. I love that it incorporates a wide range of bright colors. With so many different tones, you have a great amount of flexibility with the other pieces of your ensemble such as your top or shoes. This type of print would also look great as a blouse or even a maxi skirt. Whatever way you incorporate print, you're sure to stop anyone in their tracks.
As for this Fashionista's top, she chose to keep it simple with a plain black V-neck. Ultimately, I think when you wear such a bold pattern like this one it is best to pair it with more simple pieces so that your outfit doesn't become too over bearing or busy. I also like how this Fashionista chose to to tuck in her V-neck to really showcase her cool mini.
Finally, this Fashionista's shoes are a cute and comfy alternative for the strappy sandal. Her black slip on Keds are a comfortable way to across campus while still keeping her style. Simple sneakers like these are also very versatile as they can be dressed down with a pair of jeans and crew neck or dressed up with sundress.
So this week my style advice is to dig deep into the past and try out some tribal print. It is an old favorite that can be worn so many new ways. Pick out your favorite colors and go be totally tribal.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/4/2013 (1585 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- Justin Trudeau is riding to the rescue of Conservative backbenchers who feel they're being muzzled by stifling party discipline imposed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The newly minted Liberal leader intends to introduce a motion that would strip party whips of their power to decide which MPs are allowed to make member's statements in the House of Commons.
The motion was to have been debated and put to a vote on Monday, a Liberal opposition day. But an hour after Trudeau gave notice Friday of his motion, Government House leader Peter Van Loan announced a sudden change in next week's Commons agenda, bumping the Liberal day to Wednesday.
The revolt was triggered last month when British Columbia MP Mark Warawa was removed from the Tory roster because he intended to talk about abortion.
Trudeau, who made democratic reform the centrepiece of his successful leadership bid, intends to remedy that with his motion.
Instead of the current practice of having party whips supply the Speaker with a list of MPs approved to make statements on any given day, the motion would require the Speaker to recognize MPs in alphabetical order, by party. MPs would be able to trade their speaking orders, providing some flexibility for those who might be out of town when their turn comes up or who want to urgently address an issue in their ridings. Independent MPs would be considered as a group, in alphabetical order.

"OK, let me get this straight — when I shoot 3-pointers in the third quarter against the Warriors, I get benched. But when Pau does it against the Mavericks on national TV — in overtime ... twice — everyone loves him? Oh, OK. That's definitely cool. That's definitely fair. That's totally fine." — Andrew Bynum, probably.
Sorry, Andrew, but your piddlin' 20 percent mark from 3-point range (1 of 5, that is) just doesn't compare to Pau Gasol's blistering 28 percent clip. Spend some more time in the gym getting shots up, and then maybe we can get you some corner looks in OT. At the very least, we'll bring it to Coach Kobe.
Gasol's two triples made him to 7 of 25 from long range on the year, the high-water mark for both attempts and makes in a single season during his 11-year NBA career. More importantly, they helped the Los Angeles Lakers, playing in their fifth straight game without the injured Kobe Bryant, keep pace with a Dallas Mavericks team fighting for its playoff life.
The four-time All-Star scored eight of his 20 points in the extra frame, hitting two free throws with less than a second remaining on the clock to give the Lakers a two-possession lead and nail down a 112-108 win over the Mavs in L.A.'s customary Sunday afternoon showcase game on ABC. He also added 10 points, five assists and a steal in a team-leading 44:16 of floor time.
It's the third time in Gasol's career that he's hit more than one 3-pointer in a game, and his first as a member of the Lakers — the other two games were with the Memphis Grizzlies, back in November 2003 and December 2006. They weren't his first ever in an overtime period, though; Gasol knocked one down in extra time against the Utah Jazz back in January, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
Pau's first 3-pointer rankled Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who, like many watching the game, thought that Lakers forward Matt Barnes interfered with the shot before it went in. (You can see it in the video clip above.) From Jeff Caplan at ESPN Dallas:
The basket was ruled good and the Lakers took a 103-101 lead.
"Any potential basket interference in the last two minutes of a game or overtime should be reviewed," Cuban said he wrote in his email to the league. "I didn't bring up that play up at all.
"You've got to make that reviewable. You have to ask them to change the rule."
The current rules do not allow for such a play to be reviewed.
If you're a ref, even if you're not 100 percent sure if Matt Barnes did something wrong, you should probably call him for it, because, y'know, he's Matt Barnes. Unfortunately for Mavs fans, though, the 3-pointer stood and the Lakers took the lead.
We all had a lot of fun with that joke I wrote up top about Andrew Bynum being mad at the theoretical existence of a Spaniard 3-point double standard, but he was at times dominant in the middle for L.A. on Sunday despite hitting just 9 of 24 attempts, scoring 23 points and grabbing 16 boards in just under 44 minutes of work. That's why people don't want you chucking from long range, Mr. Bynum — because you can control the pace of a game, even when you shoot like bleep.
With the win, L.A. moves to 4-1 without Bryant, who's been resting a shin injury, and 39-22 on the season. They now have a 1.5-game cushion on the Los Angeles Clippers for the Pacific Division crown and the Western Conference's No. 3 seed with five games to play; the Clips (37-23) have six games remaining.
While the Mavs remain confident they can make a run to defend their title, every loss hurts at this stage of the game. Dallas dropped to 34-27, a half-game up on the Denver Nuggets for the sixth seed out west and 1.5 games above the eighth-place Houston Rockets.

As The World Turns confirms that Paul Leyden as Simon Frasier (Katie's, played by Terri Colombino, hottie ex-husband) will indeed return to the show on Friday, June 16. Wowza! Soapdom told you that he was coming and the golden god has arrived! And get this --Soapdom ran into Leyden at the official SOAPnet NATAS/ATAS Daytime Emmy Party in Hollywood last night. He starts taping May 17. He's sure Simon's gonna return to shake things up between Katie and Mike, and he's heading back to Oakdale with quite the bankroll. No more scrimping and scamming. Simon's the man with the buckaroos now and we'll see him as the dashing charmer once again! Leyden was surprised to learn that there are fans out in soapdom who are still mourning the death of Simon and Lily. Would Leyden like to work with Martha Byrne again? You betcha. However, according to the good lookin' Aussie, the gig is only for six months, but who knows what can happen in Oakdale. Keep watchin'. Contributed by LDB & LMS
In some AMC/DOOL crossover Buzz, James Scott, the tall, dark, handsome Brit who played the recently dearly departed (thanks to Janet's explosion at the Mardi Gras Ball) Ethan Ramsey Cambias on All My Children, was spotted in LA on the set of Days of our Lives. Could Scott be on his way to Salem? Stay tuned. Contributed by LMS
In more AMC Buzz, Alec Musser (Del) has a new website and fan club. We haven't seen much of him in Pine Valley lately, so be sure to write the powers that be over at AMC if you want to see more. He confided to Soapdom that he'd love the feud between Tad and Del to be reconciled, and we think that since his half-sister Dixie has returned, he could certainly play a bigger role in the lives of both Di and Dix.

In some real-life General Hospital Buzz, it was only a few weeks ago that Kari Wuhrer (ex-Reese) celebrated a most blessed event: the birth of her second child, a daughter, named Evangeline. Life can sometimes be such a roller coaster ride. According to the former GH starlet's official website, Wuhrer is now mourning the loss of her mother, Karen Noble Wuhrer. There was no official date as to when Wuhrer's mother passed, but it is encouraged that fans of the actress make a donation in memory of Noble Wuhrer to The American Cancer Society. The entire Soapdom family wishes Wuhrer and her family strength during this sad time. Contributed by LDB
ATWT's Annie Parisse, who most recently played the Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order, has quit the show, sources report. It appears there are rumblings that Law & Order may be cancelled, and Parisse wanted out before that occurs. The two Law & Order spin offs, Law & Order SVU and Law & Order Criminal Intent are still riding high in the ratings and are assured pick ups. With Parisse again available, could this mean a return to Oakdale? Stay tuned. Contributed by CL

As far as Buzz on the ATWT luncheon held April 22, 2006, I haven't heard anything that exciting so far. Although, as usual, the lines to get to the actors were very, very long. The event was a complete sell-out and the fans did enjoy whatever, but were surprised that there really wasn't that much to-do about the 50th anniversary. I did hear that Helen Wagner was there as sweet as could be in spite of the fact she had fallen a week before the luncheon and did have a bruised face and black eye. Fans are sending good wishes to her. Plus, I heard that that Jordan Woolley (Nick) that just got the boot, was very nice and also tall dark and handsome and fans are now sorry he is leaving. They've even started a petition/snail/email campaign to ask TPTB to reconsider. Additionally, Ellen Dollan (Margo) told her fans to keep writing for Margo to be a detective as well as Margo and Tom scenes and she was very disappointed that Margo did not get to sleep with Doc! Oh and the new Lucy, Spenser Grammer (daugher of Kelsey Grammer), was in attendance. Contributed by CL

In some scandalous AMC Buzz, Aiden Turner (Aidan) and Jeff Branson (Jonathan) appeared at the Brokerage Comedy Club on Long Island over this past weekend. Evidently, things got dicey with Turner because he was repeatedly asked about John Callahan. Some fan kept telling him how much his character was like Edmund. After a few times of politely replying "ok," she kept it up and he finally came clean saying he didn't like the character of Edmund or the actor that played him. Turner admitted that John Callahan (ex Edmund) would purposely be on set when he and Eva La Rue (ex Maria) had love scenes per the script. Apparently, Callahan gave him problems. Turner went on to say that what they did was scripted, but what John Callahan did with his (real life) girlfriend wasn't! Whoa. Both Callahan and La Rue, who met and were married while working on AMC are no longer on the show. Their marriage is likewise history. La Rue can now be seen in primetime on CSI: Miami.

In more AMC Buzz, looks like Colin Egglesfield (Josh) and Connie Fletcher (Erin) are a new real-life couple. They were quite chummy at the Daytime Emmy Creative Craft Achievement Awards in NYC last Saturday night.

Reports have surfaced in SOD that Jordan Woolley (Nick, ATWT) has been let go for storyline purposes. Good old "storyline purposes." The fans were heard.

Once Tamblyn said good-bye to her role as Emily Quartermian on General Hospital back in 2001, she's nary taken a second to rest. After earning raves for her work in television's Joan of Arcadia and the big screen's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," comes word that Tamblyn, who's already in the midst of filming "Grudge 2," is thisclose to signing on to the flick, "Normal Adolescent Behavior." It is described as a dark comic film that looks at sexual relations among privileged teens. We can't help but wonder ...
...though if Tamblyn isn't a bit disappointed that while during her turn as Emily she didn't nab the opportunity to kiss a nearly-naked Sonny (Maurice Benard) as her predecessor, Natalia Livingston does... and quite often! Contributed by LDB
According to TVGuide.com, it's official! Ingo Rademacher (Jax), who arrived in Port Charles back in 1996 as a venture capitalist and wooed Lois (Rena Sofer), but ultimately became a huge roadblock in Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Brenda's (Vanessa Marcil) torrid romance, is leaving General Hospital and the role will be recast.

Tons of stuff in the April 18 issue of SOD. The Cover Reads: Days Lie Exposed, Guiding Light's Josh & Reva Reuntied AT LAST! All My Children: Bianca's Back and Tad Finds Dixie. Young and the Restless: "Surprise Twist" with a picture of Tracey Bregman and Christian J. LeBlanc. General Hospital: It's War! (between Sonny and Jason)
1) Days Saga: Apparently a faux press release had been leaked onto the internet which read that Days Of Our Lives would be moving to ABC after a series of stalemates between NBC and Sony over failing to agree on production costs. The "big: story was credited to an AP freelance writer. DAYS negotiated a few years back with NBC in 2003 to keep the soap on the air (DAYS contract with NBC doesn't expire until 2007). Not surprisingly, a DAYS reprsentative told Digest: "We do not comment on contracts in any way, shape or form." Read Soapdom's story on this rumor...
2) Eden Riegel (Bianca) will make another brif return to Pine Valley in May, but this time around, the character will offer a shoulder to lean on to support Kendall (Alichia Minshew) during a difficlut time. The actress last visited All My Children in January. So why all the return engagements in such close succession of one another? "We just adore the actress and the character is very central," praises Head Writer Megan McTavish to Digest. "Eden has so many other things going, but if she chose us, we'd only be honored and thrilled to have her back."
3) As previously reported in Buzz, the persistent word on the street continues to be that Paul Leyden (Simon) is returning to As The World Turns; he originally departed the show in 2003, only to make a brief return in 2004. As many will remember, the actor enjoyed a huge following with fellow leading lady Terry Colombino (Katie). Keep your fingers crossed. There was no official world from the people at Proctor & Gamble.
4) Other Internet chatrooms are abuzz with other As the World Turns news: Emmy-nominated Jennifer Ferrin (Jennifer) will leave the show once her contract expires shortly. According to Digest, an ATWT official spokesperson says, "Jen's focus righ now is on enjoying the show's numerous Emmy nominations, so she has not yet made a decision."
5) Again in As The World Turns news, the recasting of Lucy (last played by the ethereal Peyton List) will not DIE.
6) Stay strong, General Hospital followers! Word that Robin Christopher (Skye) will jump ship and abandon Port Charles for Pine Valley following the birth of her second baby in the spring (with hubby Matt Crane; Another World's Matthew Cory) are premature at best.
7) The Bold And The Beautiful: Tracy Melchior makes a return appearance as Kristen on April 11 and April 14 for an important family sitaution.
8) General Hospital: Hiya, mate! Everyone's favorite Aussie, Robert Scorpio, as played by Tristan Rogers, will again show his face in Port Charles beginning the week of April 13th
9) All My Children: Natalia Cigliuti (Anita) last airs on April 12th. Digest relays that Cigliuti had actually asked to be released from her contract in order to take a role in the CBS pilot Waterfront. No word yet on whether the former actress' gamble will sink or swim. Cigliuti, an alumni of Saved By The Bell: The New Class, joined AMC in 2004.
10) Steve Burton is a proud papa! Burton (Jason, GH), along with wife, Sherre welcomed Jack Marshall Burton on March 26th. The cute tot weighed in at 8 pounds and 1 ounce. The couple already has a daughter named Makena Grace.
11) Kari Wuhrer (this is from Kari's Official Site!) delivered a baby girl on March 27th. Wuhrer (ex-Reese, General Hospital) and hubby James decided on the name Evangeline Lotus Scura for their new darling. Brother Enzo, born in January 2004, is super proud!

City College Students Study the Anatomy of Hate
By MARIA NEWMAN
Published: May 29, 1994
At a time when anti-Semitic speeches by black nationalists draw attention at college campuses, a group of students at the City College of New York is dissecting the sentiments of ethnic bias.
In a quiet conference room with a sweeping view of Harlem, Tricia Ferrell, a pre-law student, spoke softly earlier this month about her recent visit to former Nazi concentration camps in Poland.
"It was almost indescribable to me," said Ms. Ferrell, who is one of nine students who traveled to Poland last month with a class sponsored by the college's Conflict Resolution Center. 'Hate Produces Hate'
Ms. Ferrell, who is black, said what she found most incomprehensible was the hate that led to the annihilation of millions of Jews.
"It's not like someone hurt your family member and you're retaliating," she said. "Hate produces hate."
City College's Conflict Resolution Center was established last year in the wake of several incidents that heightened black-Jewish tensions in New York, notably the 1991 disturbances in Crown Heights and the furor over an anti-Semitic speech by Dr. Leonard Jeffries, a professor at City College. Recently, speeches by Khalid Muhammad, a leader of the Nation of Islam who called Jews "bloodsuckers" in a speech at a New Jersey campus, have ignited debates at other colleges. A Looming 'Crisis'
William B. Helmreich, a sociology professor who is a co-director of the center, said that only a tiny percentage of students on any campus actually agree with hate speeches delivered at some college campuses. Nevertheless, he said, racial misunderstandings have reached the level of a "crisis that threatens to engulf our city," so there is still a need for a laboratory where ideas about racial and ethnic bias can be discussed openly.
Even if they have to change the thinking of young people one at a time, or one classroom at a time, Professor Helmreich said, the hope for the Conflict Resolution Center is that knowledge can breed understanding.
He and the center's co-director, Francis Terrell, a professor of political science who is also director of the college's Greenberg Center for Legal Education and Urban Policy, chose nine students for this semester's class on the Holocaust.
Conflict resolution programs and centers have cropped up at many other schools, but the two professors who direct the City College program say their school can particularly benefit from such an effort. A Diverse Student Body
In addition to being the employer of Dr. Jeffries and Michael Levin, two professors -- one black and one white -- who brought notoriety to the college for their statements on racial superiority, the school also touts itself as the most ethnically diverse college in America, with students from 90 countries.
"These people speak to the potential we have," Professor Helmreich said, referring to the nine students who traveled to Poland.
"When you see how these students were transformed, how we are creating an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding -- and this is the home of Leonard Jeffries -- then you have to think if it can be done here, it can be done anywhere," he said.
As part of the course, the students, four of whom are Jewish while the rest were from a range of ethnic groups, traveled to Poland on a trip sponsored by the International March of the Living, a group that organized an event in which thousands of youths, most of them Jewish, traced a two-mile journey from Auschwitz to Birkenau that Jews were forced to take to the gas chambers.The students at City College took part in the march.
Most of the students, including two of the Jewish ones, said that before their trip, they had spent little time thinking about the Holocaust. But afterward their recollections poured out in one class session in anguished comments about the universality of the suffering, and how Jews and blacks have much in common. 'An Analogous History'
"I don't understand why all the animosity between our two groups because we have basically had an analogous history," said Curtis LeBlanc, who is black. "We really both have been through a Holocaust."
Shoshana Kurtz, who is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and an architecture student, said she acted almost as a representative of survivors for her classmates by relating some of the stories she had heard from her parents and from others in the community of survivors in Brooklyn in which she grew up.
"I've come home with a sense of renewal," Ms. Kurtz said, her voice breaking. "I have a great deal of responsibility as a child of survivors and I never knew how I was going to go about taking that responsibility, but I did it."
"I'm neither Jewish nor German nor of any other ethnic group that was affected by the the Holocaust," said Maria Lin, a pre-law student whose family is from Taiwan. "On the other hand, I have been touched by racism. In that aspect, it relates to me 100 percent."

It's a nicer feeling to be on stage getting a standing ovation – as we were last week after our quickstep – than standing there getting a complete battering. We'd worked so hard for six weeks, it just had to come together eventually. I think people felt I was just having fun on Strictly because the jive and the cha-cha-cha that I'd danced before are fun dances. I think ballroom so far has suited me more, though.
Where Nat my dance partner has taken me – from not knowing anything five weeks ago to getting an eight from Craig last week - is remarkable. I call her Harry Potter.
I think the sportsmen are starting to do well in Strictly because we're used to working six, seven hours a day and the aches and pains that come with it. For 20 odd years I've never not had an ache or a pain. You get used to the pain barrier and go through it. I've a huge amount of respect for Victoria Pendleton (left), coming straight out of the Olympics and doing Strictly Come Dancing. You put yourself in a vulnerable position doing this show. She's a good girl.
It was sad to see Sid Owen go last week since he's a mate of mine. Nicky Byrne and me are good pals now too. He has a mirror in his pocket all the time. Just looks at himself – am I looking alright? He's got gel in his other pocket. He's so vain. Ridiculous.
I've been training for the foxtrot this week, which is more controlled than the quickstep. You're lower on the dance floor, and there's lots of turns. We're dancing to Jackie Wilson's The Sweetest Feeling – and the dance takes place in a sweet shop.
My wife will be watching the show tomorrow. Sometimes she takes the judges' comments quite personally. I've got a thicker skin than her though. If you've played for England for ten years you've got to take a bit of c---.
Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC One tomorrow at 6.30pm

As Sticky as a Gecko ... but Ten Times Stronger!
The gecko's amazing ability to stick to surfaces and walk up walls has inspired many researchers to manufacture materials that mimic the special surface of a gecko's foot. The secret behind the gecko's ability to stick so well is a forest of pillars at the micro-/nano-scale on the underside of the gecko's foot. Because there are so many pillars so close together, they are held tightly to the surface the gecko is walking on by a molecular force called the Van der Waals force. This relatively weak force causes uncharged molecules to attract each other.
In an unprecedented feat, Liming Dai, at the University of Dayton, and colleagues report in the October 10th issue of Science successful construction of a gecko-inspired adhesive that is ten times stronger than a gecko, at about 100 newtons per square centimeter.
The researchers constructed their adhesive out of two slightly different layers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The lower layer is composed of vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes, while the upper segment--which comes into contact with the surface it is sticking to--is curly, like a mess of spaghetti.
As shown in the figure, the adhesive sticks best when it is pulled down parallel to the surface it is sticking to--this is called shear adhesion. This action arranges the tips of the curly nanotubes so they have maximum contact with the substrate, thereby maximizing the Van der Waals force. Pulling the adhesive off in a motion perpendicular to the substrate is much easier--at this angle the sticking force is ten times weaker.
In this way, the adhesive has strong shear adhesion for firm attachment and relatively weak adhesion for detachment perpendicularly to the substrate. Just like a gecko, the adhesive can stick to a wall when needed, and then lift off easily to take the next step. This breakthrough, supported by the National Science Foundation, will have many technological applications.

text: Lord, save us. The New York Times reports that 17 year old YouTube superstar Lucas Cruikshank, better known to the hordes of teenagers and developmentally disabled Filipinos that hang out on YouTube as "Fred Figglehorn," is in the process of making a full-length, professionally funded theatrical feature film. Okay, Hollywood? I take back every single awful thing I said about you making movies based on toys or board games or old stories that your Grandmother told you. This is horrible. This is a scrawny, potentially gay idiot from rural Nebraska who speeds his voice up. Just because millions of people sit through this mess on YouTube doesn't mean that they're going to shell out eleven bucks for ninety soul-destroying minutes of it in a theater. Oh, it's also directed by the guy who made Norbit. I'm calling it right now: worst movie of 2010. Check out some of Fred's most grating videos after the jump.

I purchased a box of early 1900's magazine ads at a garage sale as a lot and when I got home, I found this beadwork close to the bottom of the box. Possibly Victorian? Something to be sewn on a dress? The beads appear to be like a plastic material, nothing extravagant. Can anyone help me with the identification as far as age, culture, etc.? Thank you!

Fall brings chances to explore plethora of green tomato recipes
Fall has arrived.
For the average Western Pennsylvanian gardener, the change in season signifies many things. It's time to harvest the rest of the melons and sweet potatoes. Zucchini and many varieties of squash are plentiful, and pumpkins and apples are ready to pick.
And, if your tomato plants did well this summer, the slow decline in the daily average temperature and increasingly cooler nights means you probably have an abundance of green tomatoes that are no longer willing to ripen on the vine.
The good news is that tomatoes have been used for cooking since at least 500 B.C., so there is no shortage of recipes available for green tomatoes beyond the most well-known breaded-and-fried preparation.
Green tomatoes, in terms of flavor, are unremarkable, some being bitterer than others. The taste of the unripe tomatoes used for these recipes was basically neutral, finishing with just the slightest hint of tangerine. Like most varieties of unripe tomatoes, they are like a blank canvas waiting to adapt to the sweet, spicy, sour, savory or acidic whim of the culinary artist using them.
If you don't already have a cache of green tomatoes, you can probably find a friend with more tomatoes than time who is willing to hand them over to you for free or buy them at reasonable prices at the area farmers markets.
Green Tomato Relish
Use a food processor for the vegetables if you have one. An optional for spicy relish is to add 2 to 4 habanero peppers, stemmed, seeded and minced.
6 large green tomatoes, cored and finely diced
1 green, 1 red and 1 yellow sweet bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
2 small red onions, finely diced
1½ tablespoons salt
1 cup apple-cider vinegar
1 cup water
1½ cups sugar
½ tablespoon celery seed
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons prepared mustard of choice
1 / 2 cup milk
Rinse and finely dice the vegetables and transfer them to a heavy, 6 quart or bigger sauce pan.
Add the salt, vinegar, water, sugar and celery seed.
Bring the pot to a boil on high heat, stirring occasionally and set a timer for 15 minutes.
Make a paste of the flour, mustard and milk.
After the mixture has boiled for 15 minutes, add the mustard paste, stirring constantly and continue to boil for another 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Cool and serve on hot dogs and hamburgers, deli sandwiches as a condiment on a cheese plate or anywhere else you would serve sweet or dill relish. This can be canned and stored, as well.
Makes 6 to 8 cups relish.
Green Tomato Pie
Green tomato pie tastes almost exactly like apple pie when it's cooked.
8 small green tomatoes, thinly sliced, skin on
¾ cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
¾ cup dark corn syrup (Karo)
¾ cup warm water
¼ cup flour
1½ teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
Pinch salt
2 (9-inch) prepared pie crusts
Ice cream, milk or whipped cream, for serving
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil while you rinse, then thinly slice the green tomatoes. Transfer the sliced tomatoes to a mixing bowl. When you've finished slicing the tomatoes, cover them with the boiling water and allow them to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, drain the tomatoes well, and pat dry. Combine the sugar, syrup, water, flour, spice and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking well and set aside.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with a crust, pressing firmly and poking a few tiny holes throughout the bottom of the crust with a fork. Fill the shell with the green tomatoes so they're evenly distributed and fill the pan to about an inch below the rim. Then, slowly add the sugar, syrup and seasoning mixture so it fills the nooks and crannies. Stop adding the sugar mixture when it reaches the same level as the top of the tomatoes.
Add the top crust, crimping the edges and making a few decorative cuts or poking a few holes in the top. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator for another 20 to 30 minutes before baking.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees, and bake the pie (on a cookie sheet with an edge to avoid messes) for about 45 minutes or until the top of pie has browned.
Allow the pie to sit for 15 minutes before serving. Serve as you would apple pie, with ice cream, milk or whipped cream.
Makes 1 9-inch pie.
Fried Green Tomatoes
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
1½ cups frying oil or bacon grease, divided
3-4 large green tomatoes, cored and sliced into ½-¾ inch thick slices, skin on
Jalapeno-Dill Sauce (see recipe )
Combine the flour, corn meal and Old Bay in a mixing bowl. Heat about ¼ cup of oil or bacon grease in a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan on medium heat until hot. Add one slice of tomato to the flour mixture at a time, pressing the coating onto both sides and into any gaps. Very lightly shake off just a little of the excess and transfer the tomato slices, one at a time, into the hot oil. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes on the first side, or until brown, then flip and cook the second side for an additional 6 to 8 minutes. Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the tomatoes. You can continue to flip both sides until they are golden brown. The tomatoes and breading will soak up all of the oil in the pan.
Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess grease. Then, hold completed tomatoes in a warm oven until all of the tomatoes are cooked.
Cook in batches, add ¼ cup of grease each time and allowing it a few minutes to heat up. Repeat the cooking process until all the slices are cooked.
Serve hot with a dollop of Jalapeno-Dill Sauce.
Makes 15 to 24 slices.
Jalapeno-Dill Sauce
This sauce can also be used as a dip for chips or a topping for grilled salmon or chicken. Make this at least an hour before cooking your tomatoes, and set it in the refrigerator so the dill flavor in the sauce has time to develop.
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
4 large jalapeno peppers, stems and seeds removed, minced
2 tablespoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried, granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dried, granulated onion or 2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons lemon juice
A few dashes Red Hot or similar Louisiana-style cayenne-pepper sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Combine the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl, and whisk until thoroughly combined. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator before using. This sauce will hold well in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 7 days.
Makes about 2 1 / 2 cups.

DETROIT - Top federal and state officials gathered at Detroit's Institute of Arts on Monday to announce the future of a light rail in Detroit.
The proposed rail line would run along Woodward Avenue, from downtown Detroit to 8 Mile Road.
Federal officials said the area would be studied for a year, in terms of environmental safety feasibility, before the plan would move forward.
"Ridership modeling will give us the answers to really where the best stations are to be located and what are the best frequencies of rail services," said Federal Transit Administration Director Peter Rogoff.
Transportation officials said the plan is expected to cost between $450 million and 500 million, with about half coming from government funding.
But local leaders eager to see the plan set in place have already pledged millions.
Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, businessman Roger Penske and the Kresge Foundation have collectively put $125 million on the table.
Detroit's Transit Union president, Henry Gaffney, said the rail would mean more jobs.
"It's been proven all around the country that when you build rails, economic development follows," he said.
Several Detroiters Local 4 spoke with expressed support for the rail plan.
"I believe this will bring a lot of new residents to downtown Detroit," said resident Donna Walker.
Wayne State University student Daniel Clark said the rail would do more than just help people get from place to place.
"We're starting to get more industries coming downtown and different businesses. So, I think it would help," he said.
There are two public hearings on the rail plan scheduled for 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the Considine Little Rock Family Life Center on Woodward Avenue.
