During his general audience on May 14, Pope Benedict XVI resumed his series of teachings on the Fathers of the Church. He spoke about Dionysius the Areopagite, a theologian from the sixth century who strove to present knowledge of God that surpasses rational understanding and culminates in spiritual perfection, thereby transforming contemplation.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today, during our catechesis on the Fathers of the Church, I would like to speak about a rather mysterious figure ? a theologian from the sixth century whose name is unknown to us but who went by the pseudonym of Dionysius the Areopagite when he wrote.
By using this pseudonym, he was referring to an event from Scripture that St. Luke recounts in chapter 17 of the Acts of the Apostles. St. Paul was preaching at the Areopagus in Athens to an elite group of Greek intellectuals. In the end, most of his listeners were not interested and walked away making fun of him.
Nevertheless, St. Luke tells us that a few approached Paul and embraced the faith. St. Luke gives us two names: Dionysius, a member of the court of the Areopagus, and a woman named Damaris.
The fact that the author of these books chose the pseudonym of Dionysius the Areopagite some five centuries afterwards indicates that he intended to put the wisdom of the Greeks at the service of the Gospel in order to facilitate the encounter of Greek culture and intellectual life with Christ?s message.
He wanted to do what Dionysius intended to do ? facilitate the encounter between Greek thought and St. Paul?s message.
Being Greek, he would become a disciple of St. Paul and a disciple of Christ. Why did he hide his name and choose a pseudonym instead?
We have already revealed part of the response: He wanted to express the fundamental intent of his thought. Yet there are two hypotheses regarding his desire to remain anonymous and his use of a pseudonym. One hypothesis says that this false identity was intentional. By dating his works back to the first century ? St. Paul?s era ? he would be able to give his literary works a quasi-apostolic authority. This hypothesis does not seem plausible to me.
A better hypothesis is the second one: He did so as an act of humility.
He did not want to give glory to his own name and create a monument to himself through his works. He truly desired to serve the Gospel by creating a theology of the Church that was not individualistic and based on himself.
In reality, he was successful in elaborating a theology that we can date with certainty back to the sixth century, yet we cannot attribute it to any one personality from that era. It is a theology that is somewhat separated from the individual, a theology that expresses a common thought and a common language.
That era was an era of bitter controversies following the Council of Chalcedon. Yet he, in his Seventh Epistle, tells us the following: ?I do not want to cause any controversy. I simply speak the truth. I seek the truth.?
The light of truth itself will cast itself upon any error and shine forth all that is good.
Using this as a principle, he purified Greek thought and related it to the Gospel. This principle, which he affirms in his seventh letter, also expresses a true spirit of dialogue by not dwelling upon the things that separate us but by seeking the truth of the Truth itself. Truth will shine forth and stamp out error.
Therefore, despite the fact that the theology of this author is, we might say, ?supra-personal? and truly ecclesial, we can situate it within the sixth century. Why?
He found the Greek spirit, which he placed at the service of the Gospel, in the books of a certain man named Proclus, who died in Athens in 485.
This author belonged to a later period of Platonic thought, a current of thought that had transformed Plato?s philosophy into a type of religion, whose eventual objective was to create a grandiose apology for Greek polytheism and pave the way for a return, following the success of Christianity, to the ancient Greek religion.
Its aim was to demonstrate that, in reality, divinities were the forces that were at work in the universe. Consequently, polytheism should be considered to be truer than monotheism with its single God as creator.
Proclus presented a grandiose cosmic system of divinities and mysterious forces, through which man, in this deified universe, could find a way to godhood. Moreover, he made a distinction between the path for those who were simple people ? those who were not in a position to attain the apex of truth and for whom certain rituals would suffice ? and the path for those who were steeped in wisdom and who would have to purify themselves in order to attain pure light.
As you can see, this type of thinking is profoundly anti-Christian. It is a delayed reaction against Christianity?s victory ? an anti-Christian use of Plato at a time when a Christian rendition of this great philosopher was already under way.
It is interesting that this pseudo-Dionysius dared to avail himself of this thought in order to show the truth about Christ and to transform this polytheistic universe into a cosmos created by God.
In God?s harmonious cosmos, every force is a song of praise to God. He demonstrated this great harmony ? this symphony of the cosmos ? that extends from the seraphim, the angels and archangels to man and all living creatures. Together they reflect the beauty of God and are a song of praise to God.
Thus, Dionysius the Areopagite transformed a polytheistic image into a song of praise to the Creator and his creation. In this way, we can discover the essential characteristics of his thought. First of all, it is a song of praise to the universe. All of creation speaks about God and is a song of praise to God. Since the creature is a song of praise to God, the theology of pseudo-Dionysius becomes a liturgical theology.
God is found, above all, by praising him and not just through reflection. Moreover, liturgy is not something that we have put together, something that we have invented in order to have a religious experience during a certain amount of time. It consists of singing with the choir of creation and entering into the reality of the universe itself.
In this way, liturgy, which appears only ecclesiastical, becomes something larger and greater, uniting us with the language of all of creation. He tells us that we cannot speak about God in an abstract way.
Speaking about God is always ? here he uses the Greek word ? a hymnein ? singing to God in the great song of creation, which is reflected and made concrete in liturgical praise.
Nevertheless, even though his theology is cosmic, ecclesial and liturgical, it is also profoundly personal. He created the first great mystic theology. With him the word ?mystic? acquired a new meaning.
Up until this time, this word was, for Christians, equivalent to the word ?sacramental,? that is, everything that belongs to the mysterion (the sacrament). With him, the word ?mystical? took on a more personal and intimate meaning: It expresses the soul?s journey toward God.
How do we find God? Here we observe once again an important element in his dialogue between Greek philosophy and Christianity, particularly biblical faith.
Apparently everything that Plato says and everything that his great philosophy says about God is loftier and truer; we might say today that the Bible appears to be rather ?barbarian,? simple, and pre-critical.
But he points out that this necessary so that we might understand that even the loftiest concepts about God will never attain his true greatness. They are always inadequate.
These images help us understand that God is truly above every concept; we find more truth in the simplicity of images than in great concepts. The face of God is our incapacity to truly express what he is.
In this way we speak about a ?negative theology,? and Pseudo-Dionysius does so himself.
It is easier to say what God is not than to express what he really is. Only through these images can we guess what his true face is. Yet, on the other hand, the face of God is very concrete: It is Jesus Christ.
Even though Dionysius shows us, along with Proclus, the harmony within the celestial choirs in such a way that it seems that all of them are dependent upon each other, the truth is that in our journey toward God we are still very far away from him.
Pseudo-Dionysius shows us that, in the end, the path to God is God himself, who draws close to us in Jesus Christ.
In this way, a great and mysterious theology becomes very concrete, both in interpreting the liturgy and in speaking about Jesus Christ.
Through all of this, Dionysius the Areopagite had a great influence on all of medieval theology, on all of mystical theology both in the East and in the West. He was virtually rediscovered in the 13th century, first of all by St. Bonaventure, the great Franciscan theologian who discovered the conceptual instruments for interpreting St. Francis? legacy ? so simple and profound ? in this great mystical theology.
St. Francis, along with Dionysius, tells us that in the end love sees more than reason. The shadows of reason have no access to where the light of love is. Love sees and love is an eye; experience gives us much more than reflection. Bonaventure saw in St. Francis what this experience meant. It is the experience of a very humble, realistic path day after day. It is to walk with Christ, taking up his cross.
In this poverty and in this humility ? in the humility that is also experienced throughout the Church ? there is an experience of God that is greater than that which is attained through reflection. In it, we truly touch the heart of God.
Today, Dionysius the Areopagite assumes fresh relevance. He appears as a great mediator in the modern dialogue between Christianity and the mystical theologies of Asia, whose most notable characteristic is the conviction that it is impossible to say who God is, that he can be spoken of only in negative terms, that God can only be spoken of with the word No, and that we can only reach him by entering into this experience of the ?No.? Here we can see a similarity between the thought of Dionysius the Areopagite and that of the Asian religions. Today he can be a mediator like he was between the Greek spirit and the Gospel.
Thus, we see that dialogue does not accept superficiality. It is only when one enters into the depths of an encounter with Christ that an ample space for dialogue opens up. When one finds the light of truth, one realizes that it is a light for everyone: Controversies disappear and it is possible to understand one another or at least to speak to one another and to draw closer together.
The path toward dialogue consists precisely in being close to God in Christ, in the depths of our encounter with him, in the experience of the truth that opens us up to the light and helps us to go out to meet others ? the light of truth and the light of love.
In the end, he tells us to take the path of experience, of the humble experience of faith, day after day. At that point, the heart widens and can see and can cast light upon reason in order to see the beauty of God.
Let us ask the Lord to help us today to place the wisdom of our time at the service of the Gospel, discovering anew the beauty of faith and of an encounter with God in Christ.

Celebrating the 70th anniversary of this magical and well-loved classic. Following a plane crash, Conway, a British consul; his deputy; a missionary; and an American financier find themselves in the enigmatic snow-capped mountains of uncharted Tibet. Here they discover a seemingly perfect hidden community where they are welcomed with gracious hospitality. Intrigued by its mystery, the travelers set about discovering the secret hidden at the shimmering heart of Shangri-La.
©2010 James Hilton (P)2010 Audible Ltd
"Shangri-la ..."
... Hidden in a valley deep in the Tibetan Himalayas ( Him - ahh - lee - yers ) where the sun shines - the honey flows - and the Monks and peasants live in life prolonging Nirvana - the victims of an audacious kidnap ( in the best possible taste ) discover the real reason for their abduction.
It is a story well known to those of us now in our 50's and beyond but since the demise of the Sunday afternoon feature film, 'Lost Horizon' starring Ronald Coleman is seldom shown. Here the story is read by Michael de Morgan with a respect for it's genre and age - one of the great imaginative adventures of the between wars era.
Excitement - Romance - adventure - Humour - everything is here for a thumping good listen - it deserves to be re-discovered by a new generation.
Regards Paul
"Still worth a listen"
A classic that I have never got around to reading. More than a little dated now but still worth a listen as long as you do not expect to much, ideal for late night listening or that journey in the car where you can not or should not be concentrating on anything but your driving.
Well read in a way that fits the period, put it on in the car and let it wash over you and the journey will go much quicker
"Love this story, performance not so much"
This seems to have been recorded when audiobooks were geared toward "reading for the blind"...before audiobooks became more mainstream. I think as audiobooks became more mainstream, standards became higher and narrators are now asked to act/perform, and producers and/or directors are involved to audit quality. This narrator has a fantastic and fitting voice but doesn't seem to act out the story. There are awkward pauses, the characters don't really come to life, and there is background noise. This is one of my all time favorite stories so I still enjoyed it. If I were not already in love with it, however, I don't believe this audiobook would have captured my attention enough and I'd have dismissed it. I would love to hear a re-record of Lost Horizon.
In a heartbeat.
Please re-record this book.
"Amazingly wonderful, a new favorite!"
I knew about this book but had never read it, and I haven't seen the movie. I knew it involved a mystical place called Shangri-La, but that was it. I listened to the audible version, and enjoyed it very much. It's set post-WWI, an era I am drawn to, mostly because my grandfather served with the army in France. I wish I knew more about his experience, but he would never talk about it, even to my father.
Lost Horizon features an interesting narrative structure in that the story is mostly told third hand by a neurologist who hears the story from a novelist (Rutherford) who got the story from the main character, Hugh "Glory" Conway. Rutherford discovers Conway (whose remarkable personal, academic, and athletic qualities create an indelible impression on everyone he meets) in a mission hospital in China. Conway originally is suffering from amnesia, but when he regains his memories, he tells his story to Rutherford, who writes it down and gives it to the narrator. Then Conway disappears. The novel's epilogue leaves an interesting question in the mind of the reader, and I have my own preferred "answer."
When Conway and three companions are being evacuated from India during a revolution, their plane is hijacked and crashes in the mountains to the west of Tibet. The pilot dies, but the party is rescued and escorted to a lamasery, Shangri-La. I don't want to give away more of the plot, because it is so wonderful to discover it for the first time. I think I might have wanted to stay in Shangri-La, were I given the chance. I just love the philosophy of the monks: moderation. Nothing is particularly right or wrong, so there's little need for a crime-punishment mentality, which really bothers two of the kidnapped hostages. In my opinion, the treatment of time at the lamasery is the most fascinating aspect of Hilton's imagination -- especially in contrast with the experiences of people who survived WWI, escaped from a violent revolution, and lived through a plane crash -- and is the most remarkable feature of this novel.
The reader of the audible book is fine, but it's not really a "performance" narration. It suited me, even though I did not like the voice given to Miss Brinklow -- one of the kidnapped evacuees. Other voices were subtly distinct and not distracting.
I'm currently reading Hilton's book, Random Harvest, and am enjoying the similarities in the themes and characterizations. I especially like the material regarding the impact of WWI on the individuals who fought in the trenches and the way society dealt with the returning veterans.
"Bland reader combined with bland story"
The reader for this short bland story was so boring that it was a chore to finish this book. It was hard to hear changes in the narrative voice and the main character's voice. No attempt to quicken the narrative during time of high drama or slow it down during inflective periods. It was all Ben Stiller monotone for most of the narrative. Some of the other characters in the book were given different voices, but the High class English accent destroyed the few Asian voices this reader had tried. I won't recommend this if you listen on drives to/from work since that monotone could put some to sleep.
Exquisite little story. Can't say as much for the narrator. He was rather irritating most of the time, but it wasn't ba enough to keep me from finishing the book.
Made out to be such a great read, but it failed to deliver. It seemed like the plot was good foreplay, but the direction it quickly took never came through. It left this reader very unsatisfied. The reading performance didn't compensate.
"This timeless classic does not work on Audio Book!"
I fell in love with this book when I was a kid and have read it several times in my life. In many ways it shaped my own concepts of spiritual beliefs, of living in a calm settled tranquility. I always took away a more profound belief in the existence of Shangri-La, and in many ways the book always seem to transfix me with a mystical power. This audio book did not do this. The reader was very literal in the way he approached and read this timeless classic. The characters become somewhat cynical, lifeless and cold. All the elements of mystery where gone or missing. There was no sense of beauty of this extraordinary place and time. Yes time was suspended, but it was in the long drawn out reading of the reader. Finally half way through the recording I had to increase the play speed to 1.25 to get finish it.
"I think it was a good book, but the performance..."
If you like pauses between each sentence, get this book. Aack! Drove me crazy.
"How did I miss that?"
I first read this book when I was in the ninth grade and have merely contented myself and my memories with viewings of the movie since that time. But I was tempted, and I bought this recording.
How could I possibly have forgotten how marvelous this book was, how much better than the altered movie.
How much more meaning I receive now that I am MUCH older and have a bit more understanding of life. The book is not merely an adventure, it is a philosophy. The philosophy of moderation is a wonderful thought and a guide to living.
About the only thing wrong with this production is that the reader is not Ronald Coleman.
"A wonderful find"
Hilton's story is a classic, well worth the listen. It makes you (or at least, it made me) imagine being in Shangri-la, with no cares at all. A most inviting place. The negative here is the performance. De Morgan's reading is fine, most of his voices are quite good, but the production quality is lacking. At least three times I heard something falling in the background. And the pace is interminable (a digital reworking could clean things up quite a bit). Loooong pauses are frequent. But I recommend you put those problems aside and just listen. I've said before here, classics become classics for a reason. "The Lost Horizon" is well deserving of the honor.
"Movie and Audio Versions Superior to the Book"
I realize that for many "Lost Horizon" is an iconic book in addition to being an iconic movie from the 1930's with the wonderful Ronald Colman as Conway. I have read the book at least twice over the years since first seeing the movie, and have now finished listening to the audio version. The movie version made several key changes to the book, keeping the essential theme of the Hilton's work while adding characters. In listening to the unabridged audio version I was reminded of the things I didn't like about the print version -- far too much in the way of musings by the narrator of the story (not the reader of the audio book but the literary character within the book) and the obnoxious young Englishman who is one of the four passengers on the diverted airplane.
The least interesting was as mentioned above -- Hilton's narrator who went on endlessly about Conway. The most interesting aspect of the story is the concept of a hidden country where people live long lives, past the normal age span, while perfecting their mind, character, and philosophy.
Conway's two interviews with the head of the monastery where he hears its history.
A wonderful movie was made of this book in the 1930's and a so-so version a few decades later.
I thought the narrator, Michael de Morgan, did a very good job with the various voices of the characters. His Conway was excellent, with some echoes of Ronald Colman for those of us who are fans of the original movie. My least favorite characterizations were the American from the midwest (he didn't quite get the accent but he made a yoeman's effort) and his elderly female English missionary was sometimes very difficult to understand (fortunately she doesn't have much dialog).

Enabling vSphere Distributed Switch health check in the vSphere Web Client (2032878)
Note: For more information, see the vSphere Networking Guide. This guide contains definitive information. If there is a discrepancy between the guide and the article, assume that the guide is correct.
The network configuration for the vSphere infrastructure is a two-step process, whereby users must configure the physical network switches to which the vSphere host is connected and then configure the VDS. There are key network parameters, such as VLAN, network adapter teaming, and MTU, that should be configured properly on physical and virtual switches.
However, there are occasions when there are network connectivity issues in the user environment because these parameters are not configured properly. Network connectivity issues caused by configuration errors are often difficult to identify. This particularly is the case in an organization where the network administrators and vSphere administrators take management ownership of physical network switches and vSphere hosts respectively. In earlier versions of vSphere, there were no tools available that could help resolve such misconfigurations across the physical and virtual switches.
These are some of the common configuration errors that health check identifies:
- Mismatched VLAN trunks between a vSphere distributed switch and physical switch.
- Mismatched MTU settings between physical network adapters, distributed switches, and physical switch ports.
- Mismatched virtual switch teaming policies for the physical switch port-channel settings.
- VLAN: Checks whether vSphere distributed switch VLAN settings match trunk port configuration on the adjacent physical switch ports.
- MTU: Checks whether the physical access switch port MTU setting based on per VLAN matches the vSphere distributed switch MTU setting.
- Network adapter teaming: Checks whether the physical access switch ports EtherChannel setting matches the distributed switch distributed port group IP Hash teaming policy settings.
The default interval for performing the configuration check is one minute. At this regular interval, layer 2 Ethernet probing packets are sent and received across the physical uplink interfaces of the VDS. Depending on the configuration of the network device, which is connected directly to the VDS through the physical uplink interfaces, REQ and ACK packets are received or dropped. When packets are dropped, it indicates that there is a configuration issue and a warning is displayed in the vSphere Web Client view.
For the network health check feature to work, ensure that these requirements are met:
- VLAN and MTU check – There must be at least two physical uplinks connected to the VDS.
- Teaming policy check – There must be at least two active uplinks in the teaming and at least two hosts in
the VDS.
For more information regarding limitations, see Network health check feature limitations in vSphere 5.1 and 5.5 (2034795).
Enabling or disabling the vSphere Distributed Switch health check in the vSphere Web Client
- Health check monitors for changes in vSphere distributed switch configurations. You must enable vSphere distributed switch health check to perform checks on distributed switch configurations.
- Health check is available only in ESXi 5.1 and later distributed switches. You can view health check information only through the vSphere Web Client 5.1 or later.
To enable or disable vSphere Distributed Switch health check in the vSphere Web Client:
- Browse to a vSphere distributed switch in the vSphere Web Client.
- Click the Manage tab.
- Click Settings and then click Health check.
- To enable or disable health check, click Edit.
- Select from the dropdown to enable or disable health check options.
The options include:
- VLAN and MTU: Reports the status of distributed uplink ports and VLAN ranges
- Teaming and Failover: Checks for any configuration mismatch between ESXi and the physical switch used in the teaming policy.
- Click OK.
Viewing the vSphere Distributed Switch health check information
Note: After enabling health check, you can view the vSphere distributed switch health check information in the vSphere Web Client.
- Browse to a vSphere distributed switch in the vSphere Web Client.
- Click the Monitor tab and click Health.
- In the Health Status Details section, click one of these tab to view the health status:
- Teaming and Failover
Additional Information
After you disable vSphere Distributed Switch Health Check, the generated MAC addresses age out of your physical network environment according to your network policy.

Rio Ferdinand has picked five of the best players he's played with in a revealing response to a question posed by England rugby star Danny Cipriani.
The Sale Sharks fly-half wanted to know which three former teammates the QPR defender rated as the best and why, although Ferdinand responded with five names at the launch of his new book in London.
Two obvious choices
Unsurprisingly, the former Manchester United centre back selected players from his time at Old Trafford, although international colleagues also made their mark on the 35-year-old.
His first two choices, both former Red Devils, will not come as a surprise to many, as he revealed his selections to GiveMeSport.

- Manchester United stars must take blame, says Ferdinand
"Cristiano Ronaldo, just an unbelievable professional. He would have never got to where he is now as the best player in the world without the hard work he used to put in on the training pitch all the time," Ferdinand replied when posed Danny Cipriani's question.
"Working on different skills, step overs and shooting with either feet, free-kicks, receiving the ball. He used to do a lot of stuff after training - he wouldn't be one of the guys to just walk in. He'd go in the gym, then he'd go and do loads of stuff. The consummate professional.
Naturally gifted
"Paul Scholes, the most naturally gifted player I've ever played with. He'd come back from pre-season, from holiday after three or four weeks off in the summer - normally everyone else comes in and it would take a month or so to get their eye back in and their touch right - and day one, Scholes is there, same touch as he left with. It's just disheartening for everyone else really."
Ferdinand then paused to consider his other options, which came from West Ham, Leeds, Manchester United and England.
And, it was an international trio who got the nod from the defender, although he did spend time at club level with two of his final three answers.
Technically gifted players
"Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard. Both of them, in terms of just players, technically gifted in being able to do everything almost. Gerrard could pass, shoot, run with the ball, defend, tackle. He could do everything - a great player," he added.
"Rooney as well, similar. He can be the person who creates the goals and he can be the one who finishes off the chances.

"He probably wasn't blessed with the same ability as those guys in terms of technique and being flashy on the eye, but he was the best executor of chances and finishing off moves, and that wasn't just through having natural ability. He works on that every day, even today."

Few musicians today who wish to leave a legacy choose to not stay with "what's hot". Atlanta's latest R&B sensation Heston talks about where he got his smooth sound, sticking with live instrumentation and defining what is timeless music.
Soul Train: Who and what are your influences, and how do they play a role in creating your music?
Heston: Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Beres Hammond–a reggae artist from out of Jamaica, the Bee Gees, I mean, the list goes on. A lot of it comes from when I grew up in Dominica because that was what would be on the radio station. All those songs would be playing on that one station, so I kind of subconsciously pulled from those influences and what you hear today is a combination of them.
Soul Train: You have quite a few reggae and live elements in your influences. How much of your new album has live elements in comparison to the electric, non-organic musical elements?
Heston: Oh, it's 100% organic. I do all-live instrumentation.
Soul Train: Right, because I noticed that in your lead single "Greatest Love." Is that something you will always go for?
Heston: I definitely think so. It's just that live instruments move me. I think the perfect imperfections, like delays in timing or feelings, are things you can't really manufacture, or program on the one or on the two. Those perfect imperfections is what makes music real.
Soul Train: So is that from a technical aspect or does it only play right because of your emotions?
Heston: It's not deliberate. It's like if you listen to a track on maybe mainstream radio, you'll hear a very specific bass line throughout the entire song and doesn't change. It's very predictable, and whoever does it and works for them then that's great. For me, when I'm recording the song, and I suddenly have the desire to break that song down because for a moment in recording that's where it needs to go, you cannot manufacture that as authentically as if you program it electronically, which you can't really do. When you have a band that you rehearse with and played with and all of a sudden you're able to capture that moment where everyone is in the studio playing, allowing all those things to happen is music.
Soul Train: What should folks expect to get from Warm Human, Cold World, content-wise?
Heston: I paid more attention to my audience from the last album and they were really loving "Radio," "No Way No How" and "Something in the Water," basically all the groovy songs, so I decided to give this whole album a more sexier, romantic album.
Soul Train: Why that title anyway, Warm Human, Cold World?
Heston: I believe that's who we are. We're warm humans and this is a pretty cold place to navigate. When you are in a relationship, especially a successful relationship, you find that it's easier to navigate, it's easier to lean on someone when you're having a bad day and have someone to come home to. It's about relationships and having someone's shoulder to lay on.
Soul Train: You mentioned having a groovier, more romantic sound than the last album. How else have you developed since your last project?

on iTunes
Heston: It's all just learning and growing as a songwriter, and just being amongst great musicians is what helps me to grow. I try to associate myself with some of the best, especially here in Atlanta where I live. I think it helps me be less rigid and less restricted as far as my approach to songwriting, and it takes me outside of my comfort zone so I can create more, create better and create differently. And I'm nowhere close to finishing.
Soul Train: Your bio says "creating timeless music has always been my ultimate goal." How do you define what is timeless music for you, and how do you know if you'll ever accomplish that goal?
Heston: I really don't know. I know thus far that I'm proud of every song that's written, and I'm proud to represent it and stand behind it. My great grandmother can listen to it, and it means a lot, because to me it's never about being too obscene. My six-year-old and my 12-year-old can listen to my music. Timeless music to me is like Sade "Smooth Operator" can play anywhere in the world, I want to make music like that. I do not want to go with the sound of the month, or the type of thing where there's a certain sound in the industry right now for R&B music and has certain synthesizers, I'm not interested. For me, it's making music that I can be happy with forever.
Soul Train: What about how much R&B has changed over time? Do you feel that with R&B changing that you'll be able to still create the music that you want to?
Heston: Absolutely. If you look at people like Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Maxwell, India.Arie and even Alicia Keys, there are such stories as people creating timeless music where those songs will last forever. There's a certain quality and sustainability to the music that defies the flavor or producer of the month in it. Like, an Alicia Keys song could've been dropped in 1970 and still be as relevant as it is now. Sade's been doing the same quality of music with the same type of production for many years. It's just a matter of stepping outside of recording, like the marketing, performing, and being available. While I'm interested in all that, I'm not concerned with altering my sound for what's going on today.

Saturday could be the final go-around at lightweight for Nate Diaz.
Diaz, a staple of the 155-pound division, is slated to take on Josh Thomson at UFC on Fox 7. Diaz has fought 13 times at lightweight, posting a 9-4 record along the way.
His most recent fight ended in a decision loss to division champion Benson Henderson. Henderson will take on Diaz's teammate, Gilbert Melendez in Saturday's main event.
Since Diaz figures Melendez will take care of business on Saturday, he told MMAJunkie about a possible move at UFC on Fox 7 media date.
"I don't think there's anything for me at the lightweight division. I already beat everyone at lightweight or I fought everyone already. The only person who beat me was Ben, and Gil's going to handle him Saturday. I'm going to sit around and fight the guys all over again? Boring. There's no motivation in that. I'd rather fight someone new."
Diaz said the move has nothing to do with the weight cut.
"The weight cut is cool," he said. "I handle it easier than most of these guys, but like I said, I've been in this lightweight division for seven or eight years now, probably longer than any lightweight in here….So unless they have something really cool to offer (at lightweight) or a really cool fight that would interest me … yeah, I'm out."
Diaz spent 2010-2011 at welterweight and he went 2-2 with wins over Rory Markham and Marcus Davis, and losses to Dong Hyun Kim and Rory MacDonald. He came back to the lightweight and won three straight to earn his December title shot with Henderson

Tue, Feb 17, 2015, 03:41 PM
Nandamuri Heroes are all getting hits with hit formula called - Negative touch. 'Pataas' and 'Temper' of Nandamuri Brothers have got good response at Box Office. Both these movies featured heroes with negative touch in first half. Jr.NTR acted as a corrupt police officer in 'Temper' and his dialogues of the same have got special notice by viewers. Even Balakrishna did similar role in 'Laxmi Narasimha' movie which was also a success.

Can You Believe These 8 Books Were Voted To Have Worse Sex Scenes Than Fifty Shades Of Grey?
The Bad Sex in Fiction Awards 2012 are out, and amazingly, Fifty Shades of Grey is not among the nominees. How could this be? Not only are E.L. James' erotic passages completely inaccurate in terms of BDSM, but they read like… well, shitty fanfiction. What with Anastasia Steele's inner goddess doing a salsa dance or pole vault to match her level of arousal and/or happiness, or the sheer inaccuracy of Christian Grey being able to go for Round 2 mere minutes after coming… it's ludicrous that these books aren't being considered for the award to which they're perfectly suited.
Seriously. Let's look at the eight nominees. You want to tell me that this…
"Now his big generative jockey was inside her pelvic saddle, riding, riding, riding, and she was eagerly swallowing it swallowing it swallowing it with the saddle's own lips and maw — all this without a word." (Back to Blood by Tom Wolfe)
…is worse than this?
Or that this…
"She smells of almonds, like a plump Bakewell pudding; and he is the spoon, the whipped cream, the helpless dollop of warm custard. She steams. He applauds, his tongue hanging out (like a bloodhound espying a raw chop in a cartoon)." (The Yips by Nicola Barker)
…makes us laugh more than this?
And really, I just can't reconcile this…
"Down, down, on to the eschatological bed. Pages chafed me; my blood wept onto them. My cheek nestled against the scratch of paper. My cock was barely a ghost, but I did not suffer panic." (The Quiddity of Wilf Self by Sam Mills)
…as more WTF than this passage I will never forget:
The Guardian has our answer! Senior editor Jonathan Beckman explained that the prize is for mainstream fiction that includes sex scenes: "The prize's rubric explicitly excludes pornographic and erotic literature." He adds (I'd like to think snarks), "I don't think she needs any more publicity, does she?"

Planar Rayleigh scattering measurements with an argon–fluoride excimer laser are performed to investigate helium mixing into air at supersonic speeds. The capability of the Rayleigh scattering technique for flow visualization of a turbulent environment is demonstrated in a large-scale, Mach-6 facility. The detection limit obtained with the present setup indicates that planar, quantitative measurements of density can be made over a large cross-sectional area (5 cm × 10 cm) of the flow field in the absence of clusters.

I dont know if this has been on here before but I dont know weather to laugh or cry!!!
Oh dear I think I want to cry.
Oh dear God indeed!!! How dare he do that...poor little Corsa, its destroyed the Corsa image now lol.
Look at it, it looks so angry about having that grille on the front of it
Oh my word.
What has to be going through your head to make that seem like a good idea?!?
I'm shocked!
It looks really mean. I think its nice.
Bloody Hell, I am not a big fan of Corsas anyway, but that is nearing sacrilege!
Did he honestly think that people would go up to him and say ":icon_thumright: Nice Audi mate..."
I want to know what he was smoking when he dreamed up the idea!
Well I know what you're getting for Christmas now!
face lifted A2..?
..looks better
Oh dear - but I feel its missing the led running lights - or will they be on the mk2 version
Don't you mean cute?
Is it me, or is that a dent on the driver side of the bonnet?
That's from all the jaws dropping and hitting it as they show it off, obviously!

I'm hoping some of you can help guide me in the right purchasing direction.
I'm looking for these 3 items.
A printer with edible ink and frosting sheets
I've been reading info, post on this topic and to be honest I'm confused. I am a home baker but need to make my caking faster altogether. I'm tired of cutting everything out free hand already Lol
Next are alphabet cutters. I have the small ones that are about 1" to 1 5/8 or so. I have the Funky ones, larger 2/3/4 to 3 " ones and my cricit
All of these to me are not very user friendly. I spend too much time trying to dig them out .I've tried cornstarch, shortening , everything I can think of to make this process smoother and faster. What I'm looking for a cutters probably 2' and actually come out .This may be a tall order but thought I'd ask
And last is a pasta machine ( for fondant of course ). I really don't want one you have to screw down with a vice. Looking for one that is heavy enough to free stand and doesn't break the bank. Something around 150 -200 price range.
If you have any advice please share. It shouldn't take me all day to work on a small 8" cake . I've spent more time on letters I could scream lol
thank you
Hi there, I got my food printer a number of years back so others might have more current information but for what it's worth...I bought my printer from PhotoFrost and get my icing sheets from Icing Magic. Easy and friendly to do business with. ne note I'd make is make sure after you use your printer that you clean it so you don't get build up on the printer head. I have a Canon printer and have had to replace the printer head twice which is a little pricey. Maybe the newer printers are technologically better! Can't help with the cutters as it sounds like I have the same things you do but as for the pasta machine I use my KitchenAid with the pasta roller attachment. Works good for the small jobs. Hope that helps. Good luck on your search!
I have the canon edible printer from Inks 4 cakes and I use deluxe icing sheets. I love it and I have had no problems except I had no success with wireless from my previous macbook pro. I recently got a new macbook pro and wireless works fine. It also copies. I love it.
I think that unless you've a KitchenAid, in which case you can get their pasta attachment, then clamping is what you'll have to do with any pasta machine you get. I got mine at GLOBALSUGARART.COM, and I've clamped it to a corner of my -really small-workspace (i.e kitchen counter) and it's hardly a problem.For letters, CLIKSTIX is the way to go.And ICING IMAGES here on CC has a printer bundle that's pretty decent, though a friend of mine recomends using wafer paper instead.
What is Wafer paper? I've heard of it but not sure how it compares to the icing sheets. The only icing sheets I've ever used are the wilton one that are premade then then run them through my cricit.
Thanks everyone for the ideas and advice
...........What is Wafer paper? I've heard of it but not sure how it compares to the icing sheets...........
Wafer paper is also known as rice paper. It was used long before icing sheets came about. Snice I have never used icing sheets I can't say for sure how it differs but I think I.S. would be better. They are thinner and bigger :) Wafer/rice paper is thick(ish), tough and not smooth. (One side is somewhat smooth, the other rough). I have used it in a edible ink printer, but in another one it gummed up and really caused a mess :( The sheets are only about 5"x7" or come in 7" rounds (not very common).
Hi, I also am a home baker.
I have a Marcato Pasta Maker with the electric motor attachment. I find that the weight of the motor attachment is enough to keep it firmly on the bench without having to clamp, though the instructions tell you to. I had a hand crank one for a lot of years but absolutely love this electric one as it leaves both hands free to guide the icing or pasta. My only regret is that I did not know that there were wider models around than the standard as I might have liked one of those.
I decided on what sort of printer I wanted and then rang around the local computer shops and electrical shops till I got the best price. Because of the weight I found this cheaper for the Canon iP3600 that I bought to play with, than if I had bought it online, but that will depend on where you live. I then went online to source the inks and icing sheets. I then sold all the ink cartridges that came with the printer, quite cheaply, but this paid for half the cost of the printer and I was not going to be using them.

A Realistic Bucket List Before The World Ends on Friday
If the Mayan Calendar is correct, we've only got until Friday folks. I don't know about you, but there is absolutely no way I'll be able to get my bucket list done by then. So I've come up with a shortened list that I may actually be able to accomplish by Friday morning.
1. Floss my teeth every night until the end of the world. This has been something I've really struggled with.
2. Call up an old friend. Actually call, Facebook doesn't count.
3. Forgive an old grudge. If you don't have one, you can borrow one of mine. I have plenty.
4. Buy an expensive bouquet of flowers for your wife. Without expecting "points." Just out of love.
5. Eat ice cream every night. Some of us do that anyway.
6. Go out and order the most expensive thing on the menu. Don't worry, if you don't have the money for a $60 lobster, you can go to Dairy Queen and get the 6 piece chicken strip basket 😉
7. Start to learn a new language. Obviously you won't be able to master a language or even fluently speak one, but at least you'll get a start.
8. Schedule to go sky diving. Everyone wants to go skydiving, it's a pretty popular item on a lot of people's bucket list. Odds are you won't get a session in by friday, but you can schedule one. OH THE THRILL!
9. Get a free brochure to go back to school. On many people's bucket list, earn a college degree may be on there. Well in this case, there's no way you're going to get that done by Friday. But you can read a brochure and maybe even talk to an adviser… via e-mail.
10. Own your own business – lemonade stand style. Let's face it, that's about the best you can do in a few days. Maybe you can sell baked goods.
11. Build your own dream home with legos. Or Lincoln logs if you're doing the log cabin thing. Permits to break ground take way longer than a week anyway, so this is the best you've got.
12. Read the Bible cover to cover, but settle with the first cover. A lot of people would like to read the entire Bible before the end of the earth. That's a lot of reading. Maybe just read a little before bed each night. Get started on the right path, you know.
13. Become a millionaire – playing the game of life. It's pretty easy really, just about everyone ends up with a million by the time they get to the end of the game with their life tiles, right?
There's more you can do, but for now this will at least get some ideas going. Good luck! The best part is when the world won't end on Friday, we can work on our old bucket list again!

Returning to Play at THATCamp
There's a lot about THATCamp that's inherently playful: as participants show up early to vote on sessions and let the structures evolve as needed, it turns the traditional conference model on its head. Last weekend at the University of Maryland, THATCamp Games embraced the combination of play and games and brought together nearly one hundred professors, graduate and undergraduate students, archivists, librarians, game designers, alt-ac professionals and more to brainstorm and build ideas surrounding the role games might play in the intersection of teaching, technology and the humanities.
Here are a few ideas and resources from the THATCamp Games conversations:
- The trend towards classes as games. Game ideas are continuing to catch the attention of those outside the "traditional" world of gaming, particularly as projects like the Digital Media and Learning competition in Badges for Lifelong Learning have started to fund projects aimed at a future of achievement-like systems for evaluating skills and learning outside the traditional classroom, and Scott Nicholson released his introduction to meaningful gamification. While the DML Competition funds larger projects, many programs and professors are experimenting with badges as a tool for classroom recognition and incentives on a smaller scale. The conversation at THATCamp Games asked what it would look like if learning had badges done right, alongside a number of sessions on game structures for the classroom.
- The educational potential of Alternate Reality Games (ARGs). ARGs are grounded in puzzle-solving and storytelling, and they offer the opportunity for bringing structured play into the "real" world without necessarily relying on any elaborate digital structures. There were several great conversations on ARGs throughout the weekend, including a workshop on Narrative Puzzles by the team behind Arcane Gallery of Gadgetry, a playful history ARG, and a workshop on building your own ARG course by The Pericles Group, the Practomime Latin ARG course team. (for instance, a Snow Crash ARG course).
- Games for every classroom. There were several conversations surrounding the possible role of games and ARGs in particular in different disciplines, including literature, history and philosophy. As the structures of games naturally tie to STEM education principles (with logic, programming and mathematics essential to game creation), these conversations embraced the flexibility of games. I previously offered a few ideas for using games in the classroom in my series here on ProfHacker.
- Students as game creators and co-creators. An undergraduate-facilitated session offered a conversation on the ways students (particularly those with no prior experience) can be brought into game creation as part of engaging with course material. This went alongside the constant refrain of the weekend that games should be seen broadly, embracing the physical, digital and beyond.
Are you trying anything with games this semester? Let us know in the comments!Return to Top

Bridge Street Project Construction May Begin In November
An enormous development in Dublin took a step forward Monday night. Developers of the Bridge Street Project presented plans to council and hope to break ground by November.
It's a huge undertaking. A reported 300 million dollar plan. It's been in the works for years, but ground may actually finally be broken by the end of the year.
"I think it's going to be great in the long run," said Mike Hush, owner of The Jewelry Refinery.
His shop is just over the bridge in Historic Dublin. He's heard about the project. Tonight, developer Crawford Hoying laid it out its part for city council.
"We invested millions to date, basically hiring the most qualified consultants to get this one right," said Nelson Yoder from Crawford Hoying.
The initial phase is two and a half million square feet. A small part on the west side of the river will house condos, offices and restaurants. The big part is on the east side. Plans include nearly a dozen restaurants, offices, hotel and convention space, condos and apartments. It will all be connected to Historic Dublin by a pedestrian bridge.
The project still has to go through the approval process, but they're hoping to break ground November first. A lot of people in the city are excited, but others wonder about the impact.
"It scares me a little they're going to do this," said Hush.
Along with the development is a street project. A roundabout will be put in at 161 and Riverside. Riverside will be rerouted north of the intersection to make room for a park along the river. Hush is hearing that means the bridge will be shut down for a period of time.
"I think it's going to slaughter the businesses around here," said Hush. "That sign out front brings in about 80% of our business."
The city says nothing is definite yet and there's no intention to fully close the bridge during the improvements. Right now, they're finalizing the plans for the roadwork, but aren't even certain when it will start.
The city says regardless of the proposed development, the roundabout will be put in. The timing is still on hold partly because of an ODOT plan to do work at 270 and Route 3. They don't want those two major projects going on at once.

Baby blues who?
In the June issue of Marie Claire, Kate Hudson spills the details on her pregnancy, saying now that the dreaded morning sickness has passed, she's soaking in her third trimester, and "already can't wait to have another one."
The Something Borrowed actress, 32, tells Marie Claire, "Seriously? I love being pregnant. Gosh, I could be pregnant all the time."
Hudson revealed in January that she was expecting a baby with her beau, Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy. After dating for less than a year, Bellamy, 32, proposed in April.
Not that the Oscar-nominated star has much time to plan a wedding: after the baby is born, she has three movies lined up including the sequel to Something Borrowed.
This is Hudson's second pregnancy; she has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson. "Kate is happy for Ryder to finally have a brother or sister," says a friend. Adds another insider, "she's a great mom."
Hudson is due this summer.

For me, one of the most memorable parts of reading George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons was Tyrion's trip down the Rhoyne river. It was so vivid that I could almost feel the boat rocking beneath my feet, smell the stench of its water, and see the overgrown ruins along its banks. At the time, I wished that I could join him for a while.
Reading A Dance With Dragons is as close to a boat trip with Tyrion we'll ever have, but Crystal Cruises is offering something that might be just as good: Special Game of Thrones shore excursion on sailings to Northern Ireland, where a lot of the show is filmed.
During the excursion, participant will visit production locations near Belfast, where they will see how the show's producers transformed historic towers and castles into the fortresses of Westeros. They'll also get to see costumes from the show and try their hand at archery. Then the excursion will continue at Strangfourd Lough to tour the Castle Ward estate where season one and two's scenes of Winterfell, the Lannister encampment, Robb Stark's campgrounds were filmed.
"Both show fans, and those who've never seen an episode, can immerse themselves in a fascinating, fantasy world, while connecting with the beautiful history and countryside of Northern Ireland in a very unique way," said John Stoll, vice president of land programs for Crystal Cruises in a press release issued today.
Sounds fun? The first tour launches in late August.
Sure, it's not a trip down the Rhoyne, but at least you won't have to worry about giant turtles! (And you've still got your nose. I hope!)

What can IndyCar do to gain some "stree creed?"
IndyCar's credibility with sponsors, television, and the media is not, as most would agree, at an all time high. Ovals are an endangered species; potential title sponsors for races are keeping their checkbooks in their pockets; television ratings are in need of resuscitation; and, if some people are to be believed, the mainstream sports media are cackling as they complete their nefarious conspiracy to relegate the IndyCar Series to the margins of sports entertainment. What does IndyCar need to do right now? It is obvious that the series needs some street cred. It's time for IndyCar to throw down.
Mark Miles started the IndyCar response by announcing that IMS would be hosting a road course race, the Grand Prix of Indianapolis. He had on his Breaking Bad Heisenberg pork pie hat throwing up IMS and IndyCar gang signs to the audience saying, "If you ain't down with a road course at Indy, then you ain't down with IndyCar, yo." Sorry. I said I wasn't going to that again. That's wack. Anyway, Miles is doing what he can with what he has. He HAS the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. To have an opportunity to use the facility, make a profit, and be on network television is money in the bank. Hopefully that interest can be parlayed into more sponsorships and more races. To many fans of the series, the down side to more races is that it may include more street courses.
IndyCar really is the most diverse series in the world with its ovals, street courses, and road courses. This IS the point that IndyCar needs to hang its pork pie hat on. The series will never again be an all oval or mostly oval series. That ship has sailed, and the taste of the fans has changed. IndyCar has a great product for which it needs to find an audience. An engaged title sponsor for the series, relentless selling by the yet-to-be-hired commercial director for IndyCar, and creative marketing by the series and race promoters are first steps to show television and sponsors that the series is a viable platform for investment. If more street cred means more street races, I say bring on Providence, Rhode Island in two years. As Andy Dufresne says in The Shawshank Redemption, "I guess it comes down to a simple choice really. Get busy living or get busy dying." It seems IndyCar has started to make its choice. And I'm down with that.

Sanaa Lathan had everyone at the water cooler talking about her Instagram photo with NFL player and GQ model Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick, 25, who is a multiracial quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, seems to have caught Lathan's 42-year-old eye.
"It's about who you are on the inside and if we have a connection," Lathan told Madame Noire about her ideal man. "I prefer chocolate, but I like all flavors."
Though neither party has confirmed a relationship, Lathan captioned her Instagram photo with "XOXO." And Kaepernick's caption read "This."

There's a nasty flu going round. An epidemic, they call it. The posters say to cover your mouth when you sneeze, and throw away the tissue. But such simple measures won't stop this flu. Because when you catch this flu, armed police come and lock you in your house to die alone. When you catch this flu, it kills you in days. And two hours after it's killed you, your eyelids snap open again.... Flu is a pacey, terrifying, frighteningly real zombie horror story.

I am a bookaholic. If not reading a real book, then listening to one during my daily commute or as I go to sleep each night.
"Okay, but disappointed"
I enjoyed the storyline, but the characters were left without any real definition. Hard to follow at times. But listened to the end.
"Poorly written, re-hashed rubbish"
I love a good zombie yarn, but this neither has anything new, nor does it do the old routines well. It plods through an unengaging setup, into a directionless main plot utilising adverb, simile and cliché in repeating sequences. The reading is poor too, giving the exact opposite intonation than is described (if it says "he said, deadpan", then say it deadpan). Very disappointing.

Helping children see God
Archbishop Howard at St. Rose marks 100 years

Archbishop Howard School at St. Rose photos
Clarissa Troutman, Vivian Mai, Alex Altenhofen and Peter Rink work on science at Archbishop Howard School at St. Rose.
Students pray before class at St. Rose School in 1960.
This month, a new preschooler at Archbishop Howard School at St. Rose earnestly wrinkled his nose. "Who's God?" he asked. By the end of the day, when the youngsters circled for prayer, the boy wanted to speak first. He looked upward and yelled, "Yay, God!"
For a century, the Northeast Portland school has been helping children discover the divine.
"Faith can happen naturally here," says Megan Schuver, a 1985 graduate who has four children enrolled and one recently finished. "Even those who come without religion can see it and feel it naturally."
When Schuver was a sports-loving student in the late 1970s and early '80s, it seemed that the church and school were not so tightly linked. That has changed now, returning to the institution's founding ideas. "I feel it is a unified force," Schuver says. "I feel the kids know they belong to the church and the church guides them."
In 1913, four Holy Child sisters left England for Oregon and founded a school in what they called "a wild woodland" of Northeast Portland. Starting out in a house near the parish church, the Sisters in 1929 founded a girls academy nearby. But they continued to staff growing St. Rose School, as it was known then. By 1948, there were 12 classrooms, 12 sisters and 387 children. By the early '60s, St. Rose had more than 600 students enrolled.
As with most mid-century Catholic schools, St. Rose built for the Baby Boomers and then the population waned quickly. The Holy Child Sisters closed their academy in 1973 and then departed from the grade school.
St. Rose and St. Charles schools consolidated in 1986 to form Archbishop Howard School. Enrollment dropped as low as 185 in 1990. But has been modestly increasing ever since. Today, it stands at 221.
In 2011, the parish was marking its own centennial. At Mass, alumni of the school were asked to stand up by decades. The speaker stopped with the 1940s, unable to imagine anyone older. Someone who knows Joe Barth called out, "You forgot the 30s!" That was a cue for Barth, a member of the class of 1935 who is the oldest known graduate of Archbishop Howard School at St. Rose.
Barth, 92, recalls Sister Regina, whose wisp of red hair once stuck out from behind her severe white wimple. He also recalls taking a spill on the gravel playground and getting a rock stuck in his hand. A classmate and pal was Joseph Neuville, who later became a priest. The boys would ride bicycles on mounds of dirt left from graves dug at Rose City Cemetery.
Barth went on to Columbia Prep and then the University of Portland before becoming an electronics technician on a Navy aircraft carrier. He used that experience to become an electronics repairman, a career he kept up for more than 50 years.
Elaine Feller Garrow, a member of the class of 1942, recalls the English and east coast Sisters feeling as if they were serving on the frontier. "They expected to see Indians," says Garrow, whose children and grandchildren also attended the school.
Garrow walked a mile to school with a friend, even as a first grader. She recalls fasting before Mass on one Friday per month, and afterward sitting down to hot chocolate and butterhorns served by the Sisters. On rainy days, the damp woolen uniforms of the children made the classrooms smell like wet puppies.
Garrow and her children credit the Sisters for giving them a particularly fine education in reading, writing and elocution.
After a recent Sunday Mass that caters to youth, Garrow heard the children sing a song called "Go Make a Difference." That tells the story of the school, she says.
Virginia Barth Walters, Joe Barth's younger sister, graduated in 1949. Her father was a mail carrier who on occasion stopped in to have coffee at the Holy Child convent.
One day when Virginia was in eighth grade, Mother Marie Germaine came into the classroom. She was principal and had been the first grade teacher. She told a little story about each student's first grade year.
"You were a daddy's girl," Mother Marie told Virginia. "Your father would come to school and he would carry you home."
Another member of the class of 1949, Glenn Pelikan, appreciates the moral foundation he received from the Sisters. "We were taught there is a God, there is a code of right and wrong and if you forgot that, the nuns were right there to tell you," says Pelikan, who volunteers as the school's facilities manager. He thinks one of the key functions of the school has always been to sustain Judeo-Christian culture in a world that increasingly seems unable to recognize the treasure.
Kathleen Burtchaell, a 1956 graduate and mother and grandmother of students, thinks of the Holy Child Sisters whenever she reads at Mass. They taught her to annunciate, phrase and pace herself. When worshipers compliment her, she gives thanks to the nuns. Along with her parents, the Sisters convinced her that people are meant to serve, a lesson Burtchaell has lived out from the time she became a CYO volleyball coach at age 17. She has volunteered for many things, including the CYO executive board.
Sister Kathy Cordes, of the class of 1961, is one of the few Holy Child Sisters still serving in Oregon. She is principal of St. Therese School in outer Northeast Portland. She began to ponder Religious life in the fifth grade, even though she was getting in trouble a fair amount for talking and the like. Mother Mary Vincent, a tiny woman with a big will, expected students to keep the rules.
"No matter what I did in school, I knew the nuns always cared about me," Sister Kathy says. "It might have been a classroom of 50 people, but you knew you were cared about." She carries on the tradition, learning student's names early in the school year at St. Therese.
Mike Pinder, from the class of 1973, is now development director at Central Catholic High School, where many students from St. Rose and Archbishop Howard advance. He recalls visiting the convent on Sunday afternoons with his family. Children were to sit quietly on the sofa while the adults conversed. Pinder has special memories of the women — most good. Sister Trinitas had an admirable way with children; she could get "fired up" but was always fair.
He recalls that he and his pals once pulled a prank on Sister Bartholomew. The cadre of boys was being detained after school until 3:45 for some offense he can't recall. When the nun stepped out of the room, the lads turned the clock ahead. Pinder figures she probably knew, but let them go anyway.
The school had some fine sports memories. Pinder and sixth grade classmates were among the first to play in the school's football program. They won the city title their first year. Dick Cheek, still a parishioner, coached many legendary school basketball teams.
The school was a source of new priests for decades. Among them are Father Neuville, Bishop Kenneth Steiner, Father Paul Peri, Father Robert Krueger, Father Craig Boly, Msgr. Charles Taaffe, Benedictine Father Blaise Turck and the Plasker brothers, Robert and Thomas.
A June gathering began the centenary celebrations. More than 400 people came, among them seven Holy Child Sisters. The Catholic Leadership Award for outstanding service and commitment to the parish, school and Catholic faith went to Joe Van Haverbeke, an alumnus and current parishioner.
Lindsay Nguyen and Christopher Schuver, members of the class of 2016, were given $500 scholarships for essays on what their education has meant. The awards are named after the late Nils Gonzales, a member of the class of 1973.
A pair of 2008 graduates played in their band, which is called "Free Dress Fellas," a reference to the days when students could come out of uniform.
In 2011, the school rebranded St. Rose back into its name and became known as Archbishop Howard School at St. Rose.

New fossilized DNA found in Oregon is proving that humans lived in cave dwellings as early as 14,300 years ago, the Associated Press reported.
The DNA was extracted from coprolites, otherwise known as fossilized feces.
Slate.com reported that along with the coprolites, stone points were discovered in the same cave. The points found in the cave differ from those used by the Clovis people, once thought to be the first North Americas, suggesting that this tribe lived at the same time, or possibly before, the Clovis people.
Dr. Thomas Stafford, Jr. of Stafford Research Laboratories told Fox News that "coprolites are as good as a human skeleton."
How did a piece of human fecal matter survive 14 millennia? Slate.com explained that young fossils, like the coprolites found in Oregon, are usually just really dry bits of organic matter. "Aerobic bacteria (bacteria that require oxygen) quickly break down wet organic matter; this makes a dry drop site crucial for the creation of young fossil," Slate explained.
The Oregon caves where they coprolites were found happen to be extremely dry, creating a perfect environment for the DNA to survive.
The report in the journal Nature theorized that the fecal matter sat on the floor of the cave for nearly 200 years before being buried by rocks and dirt where it was perfectly preserved for the ages.
More from GlobalPost: New fossils suggest human ancestors originated in Asia, not Africa

|2004-2005 UAF Catalog
How to Earn a Graduate Degree
General university and degree requirements for a UAF graduate degree are described in this section of the catalog; major requirements are found in the following graduate degree programs section.
General University Requirements
To receive a graduate degree at UAF, you must apply and be admitted to a specific degree program and must later be advanced to candidacy for that degree and discipline major.
Graduate Advisory Committee
A graduate advisory committee is normally appointed within the first semester of study to guide students in developing and completing their degree programs. Committee members for graduate degrees are approved by the appropriate dean, usually upon recommendation of the department head, and by the dean of the Graduate School. Advisory committees for interdisciplinary students are approved by the dean of the Graduate School. Each interdisciplinary student follows procedures through the department of his or her advisory committee chair. The committee chair's department will be the "home" of the interdisciplinary student for academic purposes.
The graduate advisory committee's major responsibilities are to formulate a Graduate Study Plan, in consultation with the student, by the end of the student's second semester in the graduate program; to develop a tentative timetable for completion of all requirements for the degree program; to monitor the student's progress in course work and research; to provide advice and feedback to the student on that progress; to file an Annual Report of Graduate Student Advisory Committee with the Graduate School; to approve, where appropriate, a research topic; to supervise the preparation of the research thesis or project when one is required; to uphold the standards of the college/school and the university; to inform the dean, in writing, if a student's performance is inadequate and provide relevant recommendations; and to formulate and conduct the comprehensive examination and other exams as required by the department. The student's advisor (major professor, advisory committee chair) acts as head of the graduate advisory committee and takes the lead in fulfilling these responsibilities.
Graduate Study Plan
Graduate students must file a Graduate Study Plan (GSP) with the Graduate School before the end of their second semester in a UAF graduate degree program. The GSP outlines the curriculum of study and a timetable the student must follow in meeting graduate degree requirements. The GSP is prepared by the advisory committee in consultation with the student. It is an agreement of mutual expectations between the student and the faculty committee. The GSP not only contains the specific degree requirements but also indicates the mechanism for fulfilling these requirements (e.g., via course work, examinations, readings, internships or other supervised experience) and a projected timetable.
Advancement to Candidacy
Advancement to candidacy formally establishes your specific degree requirements and should be done as soon as possible after qualifying. At the latest, you should submit your application for advancement to candidacy one semester before you are awarded your degree. If you are completing your programs primarily during the summer sessions, you should submit your application the summer session before you are awarded your degree.
The finalized Graduate Study Plan should be the basis for completing the Advancement to Candidacy form. (See Good Standing in the Academics and Regulations section of this catalog when selecting courses to be included on the Advancement to Candidacy application form.)
Admission to graduate study does not imply advancement to candidacy for a degree. The graduate advisory committee has the option of refusing to recommend a student to candidacy.
Examinations are given in both written and oral form, depending upon the policy of the program unit, the decision of the advisory committee and the specific examination being taken.
Graduate assistants generally receive stipends of $8,500 to $10,500 for the academic year. Graduate assistants can be paid for a maximum of 20 hours per week while school is in session. Rare exceptions to this rule must be approved by the student's committee chair, department head, dean and the Graduate School dean. Students with assistantships must be registered for at least 9 credits during the fall and spring semesters and 6 credits during the summer (audited credits are not eligible).
Teaching assistantships include a tuition payment by the university for no more than 10 credits to cover three courses during each semester if the workload is 15 to 20 hours per week. If the workload is 10 to 14 hours per week, no more than 5 credits will be included. No tuition will be included if the workload is less than 10 hours per week.
Research assistantships include a tuition payment by grants/contracts for no more than 10 credits to cover three courses during each semester if the workload is 15 to 20 hours per week. If the workload is 10 to 14 hours per week, no more than 5 credits will be included. No tuition will be included if the workload is less than 10 hours per week.
Tuition supplements may be used for tuition only. All fees are the responsibility of the student unless the department or grant makes other arrangements with the UAF Business Office prior to registration.
Students who have a 10-20 hour per week research or teaching assistantship during the summer semester may apply for a summer tuition scholarship. To be eligible for the summer tuition scholarship, students must have been registered for 9 credits (at least 3 of which must be at the graduate level) during each of the preceding fall and spring semesters and be registered for 6 credits of research or thesis during the summer. Please see the Graduate School for further information or an application.
A graduate student with a GPA less than 3.0 for one semester will be allowed to petition to continue as a graduate assistant for the next semester. A maximum one semester exception will be allowed per student. The petition by the student must be approved by the student's advisory committee chair, department head and dean.

Within every industry, there are people who when they switch careers or retire, the industry is worse for it.
I've seen it over and over in recent years in journalism. As the business has struggled to evolve at the dawn of the digital age, great reporters and editors have left the business to work communications jobs for corporations, universities and government organizations or have simply retired early.
The technology industry suffered this kind of loss – magnified a million-fold – this week with the resignation of Steve Jobs from Apple. His departure could be that industry's greatest loss of the 21st century.
Roll your eyes if you want, but I think Jobs belongs up there with Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin, Alexander Graham Bell and George Westinghouse when it comes to visionary businessmen. Their ideas and inventions reshaped how we loved our lives.
Think about Jobs' success. He gave us the point-and-click interface now used in every personal computing device. His iPod changed the way we purchase and listen to music (no more mixed tapes or imposing CD racks). His iTunes changed the way we consumed media. The iPhone ushered in the age of smartphones and the iPad is in the process of reshaping personal computing.
Jobs will be missed. He's gone and the technology industry, and all of us that consume its products, are worse for it.

Starsailor's 2001 debut, Love Is Here -- a million-selling Brit-rock triumph described by critics and fans alike as a tender, majestic union of Van Morrison, Jeff Buckley, and the Verve -- was pretty much a hunk of crap. Leader James Walsh's drab songwriting and overwrought vocals were about as stirring as peristalsis, and by the disc's middle, the whole thing melts into a droopy, shapeless mess of tedious earnestness and soft-boiled ambition even more rote than its title.
Ready for the tooth-grinding follow-up? Well, you won't find it here. At least, not exactly: While Silence Is Easy isn't much more than a lateral move for Starsailor, it outflanks most of the pitfalls that Love Is Here tripped up on. Much ballyhoo has been issued about Phil Spector's work on this album (the legendary producer was sacked by the band for irreconcilable musical differences just weeks before his arrest for murder last year), but it's precisely the lack of anything resembling Spector's trademark "Wall of Sound" that helps Silence Is Easy stand apart from its predecessor.
Even more shocking are the rockers. "Music Was Saved" (yeah, these guys' patois is as prosaic as the side of a cereal box) is a lilting jangle-fest that approximates the Stone Roses singing hallelujah to the Church. As if either mocking or paying tribute to Spector, the dark, funky "Four to the Floor" is eerily similar to "The Art of Dying," from George Harrison's All Things Must Pass -- a record produced by the alleged killer.
Silence Is Easy's title track is one of two on the disc that Spector actually did work on, and it's a dead ringer for David Bowie's epic "Heroes," right down to the two-chord hook and shuffling beat. And although it fails to elicit more than a nagging itch between the shoulder blades, "Silence Is Easy" just happens to be the shining, standout moment on this album.
