text: You'll have to go to the article to see the graphics http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A540-2003Dec15.html Despite Capture, Poll Indicates Wariness on Iraq President's Ratings Rise, but 9 of 10 Respondents Anticipate Major Challenges Ahead By Claudia Deane Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, December 15, 2003; Page A07 Americans greeted the news of Saddam Hussein's capture with measured optimism while acknowledging the breadth of the challenges still facing the United States in Iraq, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted yesterday. At least initially, the capture did not do much to change the overall shape of opinion on the war in Iraq. Roughly 2 in 3 respondents said Hussein's capture would be at least somewhat helpful in ending attacks on U.S. troops and contributing to Americans' long-term security, although only 15 to 23 percent thought the arrest would "help a great deal." Larger percentages were hopeful the news would help restore stability to Iraq. Nine in 10 Americans said big challenges still face the United States in Iraq, with fewer than 1 in 10 saying Hussein's capture would resolve the hurdles facing U.S. troops. Eight in 10 rejected the notion that with the former Iraqi president in custody, the United States should withdraw its forces from the country. President Bush received immediate credit for his handling of the situation in Iraq, with his approval rating in that area jumping to 58 percent, from 48 percent in mid-November. In a separate survey conducted yesterday by CNN/USA Today/Gallup, 8 in 10 Americans said finding Hussein was a "major achievement." Bush's overall job approval rating in the Post-ABC News survey was 57 percent, 4 percentage points up from a survey conducted last week and the same as this time last month. The public remains deeply divided as to whether "the war with Iraq was worth fighting," with 53 percent agreeing it was, and 42 percent saying it was not -- unchanged from last month. Evaluations of the war against terrorism remained steady in the Post-ABC survey. About two-thirds of Americans said the war on terror is going at least fairly well, three percentage points higher than when they were last asked in late October. Meanwhile, more Americans say the war in Iraq is going worse than expected (27 percent) than say it is going better than expected (14 percent). The majority said it is turning out much the way they had anticipated. By evening yesterday, more than 9 in 10 poll respondents had heard the news of Hussein's capture, which was widely broadcast throughout the day. The poll suggests the public is somewhat split on the complicated question of Hussein's future. A narrow majority (52 percent) said he should be put on trial in a United Nations-sponsored forum, compared with 39 percent who think he should stand trial in Iraq. By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans said if Hussein, 66, were convicted of war crimes he should face the death penalty rather than life in prison. The Post-ABC poll was conducted yesterday afternoon and evening among a randomly selected sample of 506 adults nationwide. The margin of sampling error for results is plus or minus five percentage points.

A joint probe by Canadian and Dutch data protection authorities has revealed that WhatsApp, the California-based mobile app developer, is said to have violated international privacy laws as it forces users to provide access to their complete address book. These privacy laws break principles in relation to the retention, safeguarding, and disclosure of personal data of its users which is unacceptable by the data protection authorities.
According to reports, this Canadian-Dutch joint investigation is one of the first globally coordinated privacy protection measures. The probe report said that most smartphone users don't have an option to use WhatsApp without granting complete access of their address book to the app which violates Canadian and Dutch privacy laws. The data that the app accesses may include phone numbers of both users and non-users of the app.
There are further reports that suggest WhatsApp, following the recommendation of privacy experts, has taken steps to resolve several privacy issues but it still has a lot of work to do in completely safeguarding the privacy of its customers. The Dutch Data Protection authority has warned that it may take further enforcement action, including sanctions, if it finds WhatsApp continuing to breach privacy laws.
In relation to this, WhatsApp replied that it will try to fully comply with the recommendations of the data protection authorities and justified this by fixing a vulnerability that allowed a third party to send and receive messages in the name of users without their knowledge. WhatsApp also recently introduced encryption to its messaging service because when messages were sent through unprotected Wi-Fi networks were prone to interception.
This news brings to mind another application, called TrueCaller, which is rapidly gaining popularity in India. TrueCaller, an app that automatically reveals the names of unknown callers, also uploads the entire phonebook of its users to work. We wonder how TrueCaller hasn't yet come under the scanner of privacy authorities.

Freedom from Lies
3/22/2014 | Share this article: View CommentsBy E Singletary ~
I am a Man who has taken it upon himself to think, think critically about what is presented to me as fact and fiction. In particular religion. From an early childhood I was indoctrinated into the baptist church, I was scared into being "saved" by a hell fire preacher at the impressionable age of 6. I was told to believe everything that the people of the church told me yet was never offered one bit of proof. The world was hidden from me, I was never taught to think critically or even allowed to question what I was taught. Right along with reading and math I was taught the bible as total fact and not to question it. Good people taught me this but better people would have exposed me to it and let me formulate my own choices and opinions as an adult instead of indoctrinating me as a child.
As I grew up I challenged what I was taught, but only to myself because the people around all passed judgement on each other based on the person's religious fever not on the actions of the person. "He is a good christian man." and I wanted to be seen as a good man so I followed the line, all the while questioning my motives because of my core beliefs that the bible and the stories in it are questionable, horrid and at times ridiculous.
A little over three years ago I decided to study for myself where the bible came from, how it was compiled and who the authors were, and if anyone really knows. I discovered that the history of the bible is not as presented to me as a child. Popes and kings decided the stories that went into the bible, there are no first hand accounting by the authors, some books of the New Testament where written many hundreds of years after the stories where supposed to take place.
Many key players in the bible have no historical mention of them outside of the bible, even though the empires they represented in the bible were meticulous in recording their political history.
Then I read the bible, I saw that the churches, all of them just picked and chose what rhetoric they want to expound. The reason was the bible is full of things that are not acceptable. A woman is but a slave to her husband in one area but held high in another. A leader in the Old Testament is told to prove his love of god by killing his son as a human sacrifice. Daughters trick their drunk father into getting them pregnant. God instructs the Jews to commit genocide down to the animals and innocent children in the land that is now Israel.
God himself, tells the people not to kill but on many occasions tells them to commit genocide over land and even supposedly kills the first born sons of the non Jewish families in Egypt, of which there is no record in Egyptian history.
There is no proof of god, there never will be because you can't prove something that is not there.If there is a god, why did he not stop Hitler, or the 9/11 attacks? If he did it to punish the Jews or Americans then he is malevolent, not loving. If this god loves us, why does the bible threaten us with a nonexistent hell if we don't love him back? Who is there to love? I have prayed as I was taught and found the only thing there were my own thoughts. People talk of god working in mysterious ways, I see no works at all done by god. Men do the work. Men stomped out the Nazis. Men searched out those who are guilty of the 9/11 attacks. A loving god would have kept those things from ever happening. Why pray out loud? Can't god read your thoughts? Verbal prayer is done solely for the person who is praying and those who will listen. Why pray for specifics, why not pray for big ticket items, world peace, the cure for cancer or no more war? Why not, because it does not work. Wars will still happen (most rooted in religion), cancer will still affect lives, the world won't have peace, ever. Man is selfish, all animals are, it is survival instinct, this will always lead to conflict.
The reason why I doubt; because religion is a manifestation of man, invented to answer questions that at the time could not be answered and even more so to control the people and mold their behaviors and thoughts. There is no proof of god, there never will be because you can't prove something that is not there. There is a dragon in the garage. Referring to Carl Sagan.
I believe in loving each other, being kind, giving a hand up, being empathetic and upholding just behaviors. I worship nothing, my only temple is my body and try to treat myself with with the respect I am due. I strive to respect everything and everyone.
I don't pass judgment unless my nation calls me to do that in the courts, then I do it based on evidence not faith. Passing judgement or ridiculing those who believe differently or think critically is wrong at the deepest level.
To paraphrase Carl Sagan, incredible claims require incredible evidence. Don't teach faith, teach the pursuit of truth and an awe for nature. My children will be presented the opportunity to think for themselves and think freely and critically. I will not tell them what to think or decide but will tell them be skeptical of everything.

Mobile Security
This document is based on recommendations and material from the Information Security Compliance Office at UT System.
At present, many universities and medical organizations are conducting pilot projects to determine how best to use iPads and how to define best practices for their deployment. Pilot projects among academic institutions tend to focus on student use, whereas pilot projects in health care focus more on use by physicians and other health professionals to support patient care. The following observations and recommendations are based on information provided by information security officers within and outside The University of Texas System, along with the review of EduCause documents, specialty magazine articles, Apple's iPad documentation, and policy documents.
Today's iPad is suitable for use in academic and health care settings given the right configuration. supporting infrastructure. and policy.
The iPad has many standard security features, including such capabilities as:
- password protection,
- data storage encryption,
- support for encrypted data transfer, and
- remote data deletion.
If these security features are used, the iPad is considered a secure device. Apple's Enterprise Configuration Guide contains information needed for proper configuration. As most demand has been for email connectivity, many institutions have developed guidance on how to securely connect to their email systems. However, it is important to note that an iPad that is improperly configured or used does present security vulnerability.
Because the Apple iPad's creation/release is less than one year old, some of the tools needed to manage them across an organization are still developing. There are ways to ensure that initial configuration settings are correct, but users have the ability to easily change those settings on their devices. For example, a user may find it inconvenient to use a password, and can remove the requirement of this feature. Preventing the user from turning off this security feature is not inherent in the current configuration of an iPad. Undoubtedly, new enterprise tools will be forthcoming that will provide for continuous enforcement of enterprise defined configurations.
Institutions should require iPad users to become familiar with the security capabilities and the importance of their continuous use. This may be accomplished through formal training or via distribution of guidelines. Records should be kept indicating that user has received training and has acknowledged acceptance of the guidelines for it use.
Supporting IT Architecture
It is imperative that confidential data not be put at risk through loss or theft of iPads. Therefore, as a best practice, the iPad should not be used as a for confidential data. Rather, it should be used simply as a display and data entry device confidential data. Student and patient records should always reside within a secured database server.
The IT architecture and methods for keeping confidential data on secured servers, while displaying the data on an iPad or similar device, are understood and are used in current pilot programs, such as at the U. T. Medical Branch at Galveston. Even when the iPad is used in the limited role of a display and data entry device, temporary storage of data is inevitable. To mitigate this, processes must be put in place to delete data immediately after use. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) vendors are currently developing specialized programs to fully integrate the iPad into EMR systems in ways that minimize data exposure, specifically on the iPad. Operating systems pose another architecture issue for the Apple iPad. Most oftoday's enterprise systems have evolved to support Microsoft Windows based devices. Because of this, it is often more cumbersome to integrate devices, such as the iPad, into existing applications. This is not an insurmountable barrier and will improve over time, as iPads and similar devices become increasingly common. This does not, however, prevent use of iPads within the University of Texas institutions.
None. The University of Texas System Information Resources Use and Security Policy (UTS165) requires that an institution's Information Security Officer, "review the data security requirements and specifications of new computer applications or services that receive, maintain, or share confidential data. II It is important that institutions be diligent in performing these reviews to ensure risks are identified and addressed.
Few organizations have a specific iPad policy. Typically, the iPad falls within an institution's umbrella mobile device policy. The more challenging policy issue relates to device ownership and appropriate use. Historically, employees have been allowed to use their personally owned mobile phones to access university email, so one would expect that email could be accessed from an employee's personally owned iPad. However, we must ask the question as to whether permission requirements differ when one wants to also access such things as electronic medical records utilizing their mobile devices? Security concerns become much greater in this case, and requirements may need to differ accordingly.
At present, UTS165 addresses encryption on mobile and use-owned devices that contain confidential information. This policy is under review for possible revision, with a target date of August 31, 2011. As part of the revision, the policy should be expanded to address other security requirements (such as passwords, etc.) related to mobile devices, as well as specific requirements to match differing planned uses (e.g. email vs EMR access) for the devices.
The Apple iPad is an important new platform that can provide value and efficiencies in support of a variety of applications across the U. T. System. Medical software companies are currently working to deploy EMR systems using the iPad, and many other academic and health related applications will follow. We need to facilitate use of iPads and similar devices and deploy effective security strategies, taking these devices into consideration. User education, diligence in reviewing applications prior to deployment, and revision of UTS165 to address related security issues, are steps that will facilitate safe adoption of these devices.

Butterfly pea flower is a special plant that when dried and made into a tea creates an incredible drink that is essentially another version of a mood ring. Originating from Southeast Asia, it has a withered bluish-gray tone when dried. But add different ingredients and it changes when made into a drink. For instance, adding anything changes it to a deep cobalt color will emerge, squeezing in some lemon alters into a rich violet drink and roselle hibiscus flowers turns it bright red.
As for the taste, the Butterfly pea flower tea boasts earthy and woody flavors, similar to a fine green tea. My Modern Met reports, however, "According to tea expert Kathy Chan, 'The Thai like it super sweet so they'll do it with some sort of citrus—lemon or lime is best—and palm sugar.'"

Join this brave man as he swims in Jellyfish Lake teaming with thousands of the notoriously deadly creatures.
He weaves his way through the almost transparent beasts and captures this amazing footage.
At times the screen becomes overrun with jellyfish as they float past cameraman Mikey.
He said: "A place like Palau's Jellyfish Lake is a reminder of how wondrous the world can be.
"Swimming with literally millions of jellyfish was absolutely surreal.
"A reminder that there will always be surprises out there."
Jellyfish Lake is located on Palau in the South Pacific, where tourist are allowed to swim but not scuba dive with the animals.
Although these jellyfish do have stingers, they are too small to be felt by humans.
They take part in a daily migration following the arch of the sun to feed of the algae which they survive on.
The daily movement also benefits the lake as they churn the nutrients and small organisms that form the base of the lake's food chain.

When referring to particular plants (and animals) we may use common names or we may use scientific names.
Common names are names given by local people to refer to plants and animals. Common names may be totally different from one country to another, from one state to another, and even from one county to another. Common names change as new people move to an area, or as old common names fall out of favor for one reason or another.
Scientific names, on the other hand, are unique plant and animal names that are used the world over by people such as scientists, horticulturalists, environmental managers and knowledgeable citizens. Scientific names are the same name for the same organism no matter where on the planet you are, no matter what language you speak. Scientific names cannot be changed except by scientific agreement, such as when scientists convene specifically to debate and agree on plant and animal taxonomy (yes, they actually do this and it's called a Botanical Congress).
It's easy to know and use scientific names; a person does not have to be a scientist or gadfly to do so. Using scientific names when discussing certain plants and animals greatly reduces confusion and misinformation, and makes environmental protection a bit less complicated.
In most of Florida, the floating-leaved plant known scientifically as Nuphar advena is also known by several common names: bonnet, cow lily, and spatterdock. This species is known by anglers to be attractive to a variety of fish. Think how confusing it can be to discuss fishing if the plant's common name varies from county to county and state to state. Think how confusing it can be if you and your neighbors on the lake all have different names for the same plant.
It gets worse. In some places, our cattails are called bulrushes. Our bulrushes are their club rushes; their rice grass is our cut grass. And often the same common name is used for different plants.
And what about sawgrass. Sawgrass is not a grass - it's a sedge. And bald-rushes, beak-rushes, bulrushes, club-rushes, lake rushes, spikerushes and star-rushes are all sedges! (In fact in Florida, the only true rushes we have are the bog rushes of the genus Juncus.)
Common names vary in other ways too. Plant nurseries, garden centers, aquarium shops and other plant retailers often assign their own common names to plants they sell. It's easier to sell "heaven plant" than "snot bonnet", a more common common name for the gelatenous-sheathed Brasenia schreberi, at left.
A scientific name is a name used by botanists, growers, plant managers and other interested citizens to help avoid the confusion caused by the use of common plant names. Professionals assign a unique scientific name to each plant. The naming system was set up by the Swedish botanist Linnaeus in the 1700s.
What is a genus and what is a species?
Taxonomy is the classification of organisms. Plant and animal taxonomy is arranged in a hierarchy, from phylum down to species:
- Phylum or Division
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Panicum hemitomon, at left, is a desirable native. Panicum repens, at right, is a nusiance non-native.
A species is a group of individuals that do not successfully interbreed with individuals of other groups - it is unlikely that they will breed, but if they do, either no offspring occur, or the offspring die very quickly, or (as in the mule: horse X donkey) the offspring cannot reproduce.
A genus is a group of closely related species. Species within a genus can be very similar looking to the non-botanist, or can be very un-similar looking. One species of a genus might be considered one of man's best friends, while another species of a genus might be an invasive nuisance.
Scientific names are usually based on Latin or Greek words and are written in italics or are underlined. For example, the aquatic plant whose common name in Florida is maidencane has the scientific name Panicum hemitomon or Panicum hemitomon.
A scientific name has two (or sometimes more) parts. The first part is called the genus name and the second part refers to the species. For example, Potamogeton floridanus is the scientific name for a species of pondweed. Potamogeton is the genus and pectinatus is the species. Potamogeton illinoensis is a different species of pondweed. By using scientific names, containing both genus and species, scientists can be very specific.
The term Eleocharis spp. refers to all 150 species in the Eleocharis genus.
Naming may become even more complex by further classification according to subspecies and varieties.
TO CAPITALIZE or not to capitalize
In common names, the words are not capitalized, unless a word is a proper noun. In other words, common plant names are the same as common object names: they are not capitalized. Such as: maidencane; bulrush; water hyacinth; Florida pondweed; duckweed; hydrilla...
In scientific names, the first word (genus) is capitalized and the following words (species, subspecies, etc.) are not capitalized. Such as: Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce); Scirpus americanus (American bulrush); Saururus cernuus (lizard's tail)...
Almost everyone, professional and layman alike, pronounces the Latin and Greek scientific names incorrectly. Don't worry about it, just say it. Nobody will (or can) correct you! (But if you really want to know how to speak scientific names perfectly, we suggest you read the 600 page book on plant naming: Botanical Latin - History, Grammar, Syntax, Terminology and Vocabulary, by William T. Stearn. 1995. Timber Press, Portland, Oregon. And when you know exactly how to pronounce every Latin name, will you please let us know?)

No one is forced to be a Christian. But no one should be forced to live according to the "new religion" as though it alone were definitive and obligatory for all mankind.
For many people today, practical atheism is the normal rule of life...If this attitude becomes a general existential position, then freedom no longer has any standards, then everyting is possible and permissible.
In the name of tolerance, tolerance is being abolished; this is a real threat we face.
Evil too, will always be part of the mystery of the Church. And when we see what men, what the clergy have done in the Church, then that is nothing short of proof that he [Christ] founded and upholds the Church. If she were dependent on men, she would long since have perished.
A civilization inspired by a consumerist, anti-birth mentality is not and cannot ever be a civilization of love.
This week included the Feast of All Saints, as well as the Feast of All Souls, as all well-informed Catholics will know.
One is an authentic celebration of those who have made it to Eternal Glory spend eternity with God in Heaven. The other is a commemoration of the souls who have not quite made it, inviting us to pray for them and help them along the way. These are the positive commemorations.
It will have escaped the attention of few that this week also marked the 500th anniversary of the protestant revolt. There were many good articles written about this event and the myths that have grown up about it. It's interesting to note that even the posting of theses to the church door is generally agreed not to have taken place, but is one more myth about that arch-heresiarch. Many of the good articles I found have been linked below, and it would be nice to have a glance at them if you want to know about the real Martin Luther, the one who was condemned by the Church, a rabidly depraved human being who seems to have had little or no love in him, except of various immoral acts.
One good article was a reprint of an article written 50 years ago in The Wanderer by Bishop William Adrian. It shows that the attempt at rehabilitating Luther has been going on since at least the Second Vatican Council, and what is interesting is that even then the attempt was going against readily available historical data which showed just what a horrble man he was.
We shall not waste much time on him, as we have bigger problems in the Church today than an arch-heresiarch who was excommunicated; in the form of an arch-heresiarch who seems intent on tearing everything Catholic down, and who seems to have very little resistance from the Church's other bishops in his attempts to do so. This same man decided to honour Luther with a blaspemous stamp in which Luther and his associate the the places traditionally associated with the Virgin Mary and St. John. The pose of these people kneeling is unusual as, from what I have read of the man's writings, he is unlikely to have ever got on his knee in front of the Cross or Crucifix after he had apostasised. Even their distortions of history are distorted in other words.
We also had news that Bergoglio has supposedly set up a commission geared towards looking into creating a new ecumenical mass. This time they even bothered to come up with a denial, so at least they know the venture is evil.
It's interesting to note that not even the Novus Ordo Missae is un-Catholic enough for Bergoglio, despite having carried tens and hundreds of millions away from the faith. He wants a novus Novus Ordo, and the blasphemies contained in it we can only imagine. Many disbelieve this story, and I am not sure I am too keen to believe it either, given the Novus Ordo Missae is working just dandily in tearing Catholics away from their faith en masse. However, it is important to remember that the worse a rumour is under this pontificate, the more likely it is to be true, if history is anything to go by. Virtually every bad warning regarding Bergoglio has come to fruition, with the reality being often worse than the rumours.
In an article entitled "Why Catholics should defend indulgences", the Catholic Herald did a good job in explaining the issue of indulgences. It is a very easy read ad a good explanation. That particular newspaper used to be my go-to-site for news, but Bergoglio has left his mark on it. Besides being largely Bergoglio apologists, the newspaper seems often to be little more than neo-cons in Catholic drag, as their very clear support for the Western aggression Libya demonstrated, and it's heavy anti-Russian propaganda. Credit where credit is due though.
This week's Bergoglio-victim-of-the-week was Fr. Thomas Weinandy, who in a rather forthright manner put into writing what he has felt about Bergoglio for a long time. He wrote that Bergoglio has caused "chronic confusion", among other stuff. He also wrote of Bergoglio's hypocrisy in speaking of parrhesia while punishing those who speak up openly in favour of Catholic teaching and against Bergoglian novelties, all the while as Bergoglio rewards those who show nothing but disrespect to the Church's moral authority.
Keen to prove that the terms of its massive grants from the U.S. government does not oblige the USCCB to invest in irony, Fr. Weinandy was promptly dismissed from his position as the USCCB's top doctrinal advisor, swiftly proving that he was right to point out the hypocrisy of FrancisChurch.
I would remiss if I did not take this opportunity to compliment Mundabor on his keen sense of picking out NovusOrdoist tendencies even from people who do good acts. The details of how Fr. Weinandy came to issue his letter to Bergoglio are worth reading about on their own, but in short, he asked for a sign from God, and a very specific one at that. Once he had received that sign, he felt he should go ahead with airing his grievances. Mundabor notes the fact that it is not a good idea to test God, in the way the priest did. We have a case in which a priest seems to have been forced by God into doing what he should have been doing all along. Given that this particular priest was the head of the doctrinal office, we cannot claim that he does not know right from wrong, so we ought to be afraid that he has led others into thinking that they can test God in similar ways.
It would not be entirely fanciful, for instance, to think that a man with a weakness for a workmate will use the same trick and put a set of conditions which, if met,...
There are subtle signs that a reprimand of Bergoglio from the dubia cardinals over Amoris Laetitia might not be long in coming. Yes, I know, we have been waiting well over a year now with nothing but whispers in the background from the cardinals, when they should be howling but 2 things lead me to this suspicion.
First we had Cardinal Burke visiting relics of St. Thomas More and speaking in glowing terms about one's duty to defend the faith at all costs. For those not in the know, St. Thomas More was the layman who was executed by King Henry VIII for opposing his plans to take over the Church in England. Although the particulars of this particular martyrdom have St. Thomas More resisting the king only when he wanted to declare himself head of the Church, the context is that the king wanted to take over the Church as he would not be granted an annulment, seeing as he wanted to shack it up with another woman. St. Thomas More was certainly out of luck for had he lived during a pope as atrocious as Bergoglio, he might well have kept his head, since Bergoglio's take would probably be that they were never married anyway, and that the king would have been more married with a concubine than his legal wife.
Alas, those were easier times from a doctrinal point-of-view, so the good St. Thomas More had little option than to follow the dictates of the LORD and take the consequences. Visiting the relics of this, perhaps the greatest of Englishmen, might give Cardinal Burke strength to do the same.
On another front we had Cardinal Brandmüller come out swinging, telling us that people who claim that adulterers can receive Holy Communion licitly are excommunicated. I am not sure of the particulars, but I would agree with him on the general point: To claim either that adultery is not a mortal sin or that mortal sin does not preclude one from Holy Communion is a heresy. That Bergoglio holds this position and many other heretical ones is the worst-kept secret in the world. It would be much easier to issue a reprimand to someone who has had excommunication charges levelled against him than to someone in good standing. So I see these 2 moves in the same week as a signal that something might be about to happen.
I hope against hope that the cardinals are serious about this. Let's be honest: Being a dubia cardinal seems to be just about the most dangerous position in the world right now, with the culling rate that they have experience. Cardinal Brandmüller is 88 years old, so it is not as though he has much time left. Furthermore, we know that it is much easier to make the death of an 88-year old seem natural than the far younger Cardinal Burke, who is still below 70. For his own sake, it might be better if Cardinal Brandmüller issues that correction as soon as possible, as I believe the Bergoglio schemers would be less willing to threaten him after a correction than before.
With these words, I do not claim definitively that the deaths of the 2 other cardinals were due to foul play. However, you will excuse me for concluding that a pope and his minions who do not hesitate to condemn millions to eternity in hell will not hesitate to take the earthly life of 2 elderly cardinals, or 4, or however many it takes.
In "I, Me & the Papacy" we had some words of frustration from One Mad Mom. She is tired of how Bergoglio is all "me, me me, I , I , I , me ...". She does not recal Pope Benedict XVI speaking in the first person so many times. Pope Benedict, alas, was not an attention whore, or a narcissist. I would file this under "Bergoglio pollyanna awakening", as from what I can tell she is far from traditionalist, and I would suspect that she has only been forced into this opinion by the very public way in which Bergoglio pursues his anti-Catholic ends. If there is any good with Bergoglio, it is surely that he has gotten people to realise just what a mess the Church is at this moment in time.
Anti-Russian hysterica continues both in Europe and in the U.S. We had Twitter banning Russian ads, just to press home that they cannot be trusted on anything. In Europe, we had an NGO, so-called, publishing a list of Russia Today's guest, and villifying them for appearing on that news network. I continue to maintain that the reason Russia is villified so much is because Russia stands for national sovereignty and largely Christian values. It is hard to believe that the U.S.S.R. was villified by these same folks in anything approaching the way that modern Russia is.
Over in Spain, separatists in Catalonia declared independence. They joy from ruling separatist socialists was short-lived as the Spanish government dissolved the parliament and took control of the police forces. From what I have been told, the separatist prime minister is in Brussels, perhaps hiding from embezzlement charges.
This week's prize for Bergoglio victim of the week goes to Catholics who were arrested in Belgium for saying the Rosary, in a Catholic church. The main event at the church was some lutherfest of one kind or another, an ecumenical gathering the likes of which Bergoglio has spent so much time promoting. They join a long and growing list of Bergoglio's victims. If you are a faithful Catholic, or even a half-decent person, you might well find yourself on that list before the man's time is up....
An unusually good entry on the Catholic Herald entitled "Why Catholics should defend indulgences" gives a good account on indulgences.
It is a very good explanation on why they are a good that should not only be defended but promoted, and shows that it is entirely in line with Christian apostolic tradition.

text: SOUTH BEND -- Greg Fiechtner faced a question more than 30 years ago that set the course of his life. "Do I like maps better than people?" Fiechtner asked himself. The geography and history major who says he loves National Geographic had to decide whether to make maps and teach or become a pastor, effectively choosing people. "I flipped a coin," he said jokingly. "No ... it was a hard decision." Fiechtner chose the latter, and he'll be honored for his 30th year as a pastor at a service this Sunday at St. Paul Lutheran Church in South Bend, where he's pastored for 18 years. His interest in the pastorate came from growing up in a Lutheran home and attending a Lutheran school. He said the example of his parents who were active in church and education was strong. And the encouragement of pastors telling him he should consider becoming a pastor helped, too. Along with his history and geography classes at Valparaiso University, Fiechtner enrolled in pre-seminary classes that solidified the decision. Originally from California, Fiechtner admitted, "I don't come from clergy stock," with only a great-great-grandfather a member of the clergy. His wife's family, on the other hand, has clergy going back several generations, he said. It seemed Karen Fiechtner was destined to marry a pastor, though that wasn't her plan, her husband noted. In South Bend since agreeing to pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Greg Fiechtner's first parish was in Pinole, Calif., where he served for five years. After that, he served seven years at a parish in Stockton, Calif. Karen, originally from Kentucky, had difficulty adjusting to California so they began looking for something closer to her parents, who'd moved to Cincinnati. That's when they found St. Paul. "When I got here, I was told I'd be here for a while," he said. "I'm only the ninth pastor" in the church's 129-year history. But there's nowhere he'd rather be. "Part of it is that the Holy Spirit hasn't decided to call me away," Fiechtner said. And he likes the life of a parish pastor, seeing himself as a practitioner, much like a doctor in the medical field who is a healer of the physical. But instead of healing the physical, Fiechtner, who is fluent in German and intersperses that language with English, said he gets to be a seclesorger, German for healer of souls. "I get to encourage people to be who they are in Christ," he said. "I have a vocation -- I'm called to do this, but the Christian vocation is for everybody. Everybody is called out to be what and who they are in Christ." But what's fun about being a pastor is "being on the front end of things," said Fiechtner. "You're there for children being born, infant baptism, confirmation and for those whom I call my reluctant scholars -- my seventh- and eighth-graders. I get to be there for weddings and other joy-filled times. And it doesn't happen often, but I'll sometimes be asked to say a blessing over someone's house." Pausing a moment, Fiechtner suddenly teared up -- one of the few moments his joviality and self-consciousness at being featured in a newspaper story took a back seat. "This is where I get verklempt," he said, using a Yiddish word meaning emotional. "You hold their hands when they're dying," he finished. That's the toughest part, he went on to say, after developing close relationships with people. He added that a matriarch in the church who was well loved recently died and he was able to hold her hands. "But I have that Christian hope that this isn't all there is, and we will have a time of reuniting," Fiechtner said. Despite his longevity, his job hasn't changed much in the years he's been doing it. Outside of now having a computer and copy machine to help out with his work, human nature remains the same, he pointed out. The seven deadly sins -- lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride -- still pertain just as much today as they did 30 years ago, he said. And people still have hurts and deal with issues of needing and giving forgiveness. "I deal with the same issues because there's a certain amount of brokenness in the world," Fiechtner said. But grace still abounds, he said, as much as that brokenness, and Ephesians 2:8-10 captures his 30-year ministry perfectly: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Here is a collection of what I like to browse:
One post I like there:
They eat weird shit for breakfast (and lunch)
Breakfast: sprinkles which are clearly meant for ice cream – on bread, with butter and a glass of milk on the side. Lunch? Bread and cheese, with a glass of milk. You just gotta let it go. (Even though I clearly haven't!!)For dinner they eat pretty normally. If you can call a U-shaped smoked sausage and boiled, then mashed to a pulp veg "normal".
At the moment I can't ever imagine myself leaving the Netherlands. I think I am here to stay. I am happy here.And maybe in another 15 years I will have finally mastered the Dutch language…or not.
There are two kinds of expatriates: the kind who move to a foreign country to seize an opportunity for a job or education, and the kind who move to a foreign country for love.
The temporary expat generally sees it as just that: temporary, a step on a career path, an adventure, but one with a foreseeable end date.
The second type, however, doesn't become an expat intentionally. This accidental expat falls in love, and the person they love happens to come from another country, so the new couple has to choose which country to live in.
Adventures in Integration
Before and After – an Expat Meme
Before you knew you'd be coming to the Netherlands, for whatever reason you originally came to the Netherlands, truthfully how much did you know about the country?
Not a great deal, I must be honest. I knew how to say "Proost" from my tour guide days, but I knew nothing of the culture (aside from the prostitution and drug laws) and when I was very young I honestly thought that the dykes were huge concrete walls. I knew it was very flat, and the home of windmills. My mum collects Delft Blue ceramics, so that's one thing I knew a bit about
only Facebook. Only in Russian 🙂
Про одеяла.
С подушками более серьезная история:). Поскольку треть нашей жизни мы проводим в постели, то – шутки здесь неуместны – к выбору этого предмета большинство голландцев подходят со всей возможной педантичностью. В специализированных магазинах можно полежать абсолютно на всех и выбрать самую подходящую. Цена на 100% пуховую подушку может доходить до 150 евро
classy one, I think everyone starts with it)
One post I like there:
2) They eat weird shit for breakfast (and lunch)How could we possibly expect to make a list of stuff Dutch people like and not include this perplexing little guttural-sounding word at the top of the list!You will quickly learn that Dutch people
likelove this word. They are fiercely proud of this word and all it represents. I would go as far to say that gezelligheid is the modern day religion of the Dutch. They love it, they need it and they respect it.
10 things I love about life in the Netherlands
7. The open mindset
There's something special in the open way Dutch people listen to you when you talk about yourself. Self-deprecation and belittling oneself are uncommon.
And, finally: more expat blogs here!
I hope my blog will also someday be in this list 😀

I'm not sure quite how to breathe these past few days.
Everything is a little bit rubbish, and I'm kind of hanging in there. Kind of been relying on alcohol this week. Which is really weird. I'm not lying when I say I don't drink. The past couple months are really where I've actually ever really had any. And this week, well, I'm really grateful for my friends, because they've been here for me. Other people have been dicks though.
I should be okay.
I really bloody wish people would stop complicating things though -.-
Well, yeah, anyway, I really want my piercings back ):
I've had like five around my mouth (not all at once..) and I really used to like my nose one. I dunno, I'm just feeling boring. Maybe because I still do not have my bike -.-
Annoying because my licence turned up today (had to send it off to change my address because I never did that aages ago) and my money should be here soon and I really want my bike.
Oh, yeah, it's been exam time. I've had two of my three January exams. First one was last monday. I turned up with a hangover, but I think I did better on it that if I hadn't had one. Because it meant my mind was focusing on avoiding feeling sick and headachey (didn't work, had to throw up in the middle of it) rather than on my shit weekend. Second one was yesterday (Wednesday) and I was feeling a little bit shit again (same reason) but not so bad. Exam was shit.
Have my psych resit on Monday. And a coursework deadline. And here I am, all I'm wanting to do is write. I've been trying to write a decent post for a couple days now. Just not happening because my mind is SO FRICKING FULL OF SHIT.
But hey, I bought a new toothbrush today so it isn't all bad.

Tim Parry
Tim Parry is an outstanding artist of his generation. He has been based in Andalucia, Spain for the last three years, most recently exhibiting in El Cuartito in Gaucin, Nando Argules Art Projects, Sotogrande and The Lucy Bell Gallery in Hastings St Leonards on Sea in East Sussex in the UK. The exhibition at the Lucy Bell Gallery attracted national, social media, press and TV coverage and was his first major show in the UK since 2007.
'For Art Gaucin's Open Studios show I wanted to paint figures. I have worked from real life, painting in situ, and from photographs taken or found by myself. I work quickly and try to draw with paint. I want to create movement within my work, and hope that the paintings have a sense of being there in that moment. I really want the figures to occupy the space and that the viewer feels that.'
As a five year old Tim's draughtsman grandfather first took him into his studio and asked him to sharpen his pencils. Tim claims he has carried a pencil and paper in his pocket since, drawing daily, working quickly and trying to capture a sense of movement in the moment, evident in all his paintings today.
Arguably, linked to his early talent with handling a pencil was his ability with the snooker cue, good enough to enable him to become a professional snooker player in his twenties. He worked restaurants to finance his degree in fine art as a mature student, graduating in 1998. Since then he has earned his living by his paintings alone, working in New York, Malaysia, where he ran his own gallery, and Spain. He is married, with two children, Reuben and Stella.

Project details
This project started in the spring of 2008 with the donation of fire engines from the Isle of Man. Training is being given in fire fighting skills and in the organisation of a Volunteer Service in Girisu de Cris, the first of its kind in Romania. It has now developed into a fruitful partnership with the County Emergency Services who have also asked for help in some training areas. Initial talks with the Austrian Fire Service in order to supplement the training are being planned and a second rural fire service, using the "Giris" service as a model may soon start being developed.
Funding required
We need money to provide logistic training in organising the volunteer fire service as well as reinforcing skills taught in the initial training.

I love books with maps! Before I ever wrote the first word of The League of Seven, I drew this map of my alternate North America of the 1870s. Some things changed after I drew this map. I changed some of the tribe names as I did more research, and I added a few new cities as the characters went different places. But this was my original vision for the world that Archie and company live in!

Last month Andre Walker, the man behind Oprah's locks, launched his haircare line in the UK. As I've already tried and love the Andre Walker Hair TKO Ultimate Moisture Conditioner (reviewed briefly here) I've been keen to get to know the rest of the range which is pretty streamlined. The Andre Walker Hair line contains simply a shampoo, a deep conditioner, a hair oil and a leave-in each for curly, kinky and straight-styled hair which all retail from £10.99 each*. When it comes to styling Andre's products are designed to be used alone (with a philosophy of no more 'cocktailing').
Prior to the launch event I was styled by Andre himself, starting with a thorough cleanse with the Ultimate Moisture Sulfate Free Shampoo and conditioning with the TKO Ultimate Moisture Conditioner. The conditioner was rinsed completely from my hair and Andre applied the Beautiful Kinks Styling Crème Gelee and a little of the Quench-Essential Oil. Having my hair styled by Andre was absolute pleasure. He was so welcoming and he gave me lots of tips and tricks on styling and caring for my hair. He also advised me that my hair was more on the kinky side and suggested it was type 4 of his hair typing system (see his hair typing chart here).

I've tried to stick to just using this line for the past few weeks to get an idea on how the products work for me so far. I still absolutely love the TKO Ultimate Moisture Conditioner (£15.99) and I'm now on my second tub. It contains Aloe Vera, Keratin and oils such as argan, avocado and mongongo. This Conditioner does also contain dimethicone but I've never really had an issue with 'cones' so this is definitely at the top of my list to purchase when it's finished. I have so many shampoos on hand that the Ultimate Moisture Sulfate Free Shampoo (£10.99) comes up against some pretty stiff competition. It is gentle but I have far gentler shampoos which cleanse just as well.
With styling I found that the Beautiful Curls Styling Crème (£15.99) works well for me, despite it being designed for type 2 and type 3 hair. It's a smooth consistency that's just so light it moisturises without weighing down my low porosity hair. Beautiful Kinks Styling Crème Gelee (£15.99), which is designed for type 4 hair, is much creamier and thicker in consistency and it gives my curls a lot more hold than Beautiful Curls. Both products are conditioning but are very different in terms of the main ingredients. Beautiful Curls has Aloe Vera, Ginger, Sea Kelp and Acai Fruit Extract whilst Beautiful Kinks contains Shea Butter, Avocado oil, and Jojoba oil. The products are designed to be used alone depending on your curl type, which I've tried, but I actually prefer using them together. I concentrate Beautiful Curls on the looser areas of my hair at the bottom and Beautiful Kinks towards my crown and edges where my curls are much tighter. I have a habit of layering product and I'd say that hasn't really changed though if I had to I could just use Beautiful Kinks by itself. Each time I've styled my hair with these products my hair has been staying moisturised and defined for at least 2 days before I need to rewet my hair and add a little more product.
I've not used a lot of the Quench-Essential Oil (£15.99) but it looks and feels very similar to a serum with cyclomethicone and dimethicone as the main ingredients. It also contains Mongongo and Argain oil and my hair feels smooth and less frizzy when I use this. I very rarely use heat anymore so I haven't tested out the Get It Straight Styling Crème (£15.99) yet but I scanned the ingredients on the bottle (twice) and they are listed exactly the same as the Beautiful Curls product. The same is true of the ingredients listed individually on the brand's website. It could be a misprint, but both products look and smell the same. The only physical difference from what I can tell so far is the packaging. I'll be using both together soon to see if there really is a difference.
Overall I love the simplicity of this line as I am trying to generally use less on my hair but I haven't quite given up 'cocktailing' yet.
Andre Walker Hair products are currently only available through Spell Beauty in the UK and from the brand's website or Target in the US.

The Future of Death, the second album by Primitive Weapons, is out today on Party Smasher Inc, the new label founded by Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Listen, here:
Buy, here:
Listen, here:
Buy, here:
Primitive Weapons' mix of teeth-gnashing aggression and grand, haunting melodies sets the band in line with post-hardcore greats like Refused and Quicksand – guitarist Arthur Shepherd was a member of that scene as a younger man in the '90s, playing in bands like Mind Over Matter, Errortype:11, World's Fastest Car (with Quicksand's Walter Schreifels) and Instruction (with Quicksand's Tom Capone). Like its forebears, Primitive Weapons layers metal, hardcore, post-punk, and classic rock elements into its own futuristic sound.
The Future of Death was recorded and mixed by Dean Baltulonis (Madball, Modern Life Is War) at The Wild Arctic, and mastered by Dave Gardner (Black Lips, Rocket from the Crypt) at Magneto Mastering.
Shepherd and vocalist David Castillo are co-owners of Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn (immortalized today in this brand new exclusive clip on Metal Injection, along with the bars owned by the other members of the band) – Saint Vitus celebrates its 5th anniversary tonight, in conjunction with Primitive Weapons' sold-out record release show for The Future of Death, also featuring Pallbearer and Sannhet.
"8.0. A balance of brains, brawn, and heart."
"Primitive Weapons has carved out a big, angular niche for itself in Brooklyn's overflowing heavy music community... Their take on hardcore falls into the post- camp (Refused is a big touchpoint...), but thanks to the metallic crunch that holds it all together, we're hearing a lot more Cursed coursing beneath the melodies and strangled vocals."
"Strobe-light-incarnate post-hardcore... The New York band is adept at mixing metallic violence with eerie, melodic sweetness."
–NPR Music
"Primitive Weapons' most obvious influences date to the 1990s... 'metalcore' (the heaving, dissonant, Deadguy-ish kind) and 'post-hardcore' (the atmospheric, melodic, tri-state kind). Primitive Weapons guitarist and clean vocalist Arty Shepherd was among the latter subgenre's prime movers as a member of Mind Over Matter... That lineage predominates on The Future of Death, making it something of a full-circle moment."
"Few bands can blend malignance and groove with the skill of Brooklyn's Primitive Weapons... 'Cathartic' barely begins to describe it."
"4/5. A showcase of influences ranging from the metal-hardcore bombast of Converge, to the mid-90s post-hardcore melody of Shift and Quicksand... It has the feel of veteran musicianship... It rocks with compellingly great heaviness."
"A volatile offering... Between fits of fist-flailing rage are more somber moments."
"4/5. One of the best post-hardcore albums you're likely to hear this year."
–New Noise
"Furious and dissonant... Downright melodic."
–Metal Insider
"4.5/5. Haunting vocals that ebb and flow, compounded by an overall atmosphere that could damn the most holy of us... Counting sick riffs on this record involves more digits than readily available... Electric and eclectic."
–Heavy Blog Is Heavy
"Modeled after hardcore punk heavyweights Fugazi, Refused, and Quicksand, Brooklyn's Primitive Weapons represent the push-and-pull between regular dude fury and art-rock aesthetic."
–Dead Rhetoric

NetLogger Features
NetLogger combines the features of three different types of programs into one. The features from each of these three areas are integrated so that they enhance the features in the other areas. The following paragraphs give further details on each of these three areas and how they interact. Note that this is only an overview of features. More details can be found by reading details provided via other entries that can be found in the Help Contents and Help Index.
Networked Net Check-ins List
NetLogger allows a logger to create a check-ins list for a net that can be shared with others who are monitoring the net using NetLogger. NetLogger has features for looking up data associated with a callsign, including both Net specific data like Member Id's (using a club profile file), and more general data via an online callbook (QRZ XML lookups).
NetLogger has features that make it easy to maintain the check-ins list, e.g. the ability to add and delete entries, the ability to change the order or entries, etc. The logger can also save the check-ins list for later reference or for sharing with others. A check-ins list can also be reloaded into NetLogger (possibly as a template for check-ins, or to be used in standalone mode to update the club profile file). Saving and Restoring a check-ins list might also be used to recover a net if it was closed by mistake.
NetLogger also provides the ability to keep track of the status of check-ins, e.g. whether or not someone is not responding, or has checked out.
The logger has the ability to maintain a Station Highlighter which allows those monitoring to know whose turn it is or who is currently speaking (depending on the type of net in progress).
There is also interaction with the contacts logging features of NetLogger. NetLogger also maintains local status, e.g. it can search entries in a users contacts database to determine whether or not a particular station in the check-ins list has been previously worked. NetLogger also makes it easier to log contacts by using the data provided by the logger when logging a contact. Typically the only data that needs to be entered by the individual user when logging a contact are the signal reports (sent and received).
Contacts Logger
NetLogger provides the functions of a contacts logging program. It allows contacts to be added and deleted from a contacts database. Contacts already in the database can also be edited. Contacts can be imported and exported in both ADIF and CSV format. Contacts can be directly uploaded to eQSL.
Integration with the Check-ins list features makes it easier for a user to determine whether they have already worked others who are currently checked into a net, including whether they have been worked at any time, or whether they have been worked on this particular net. When logging a contact, the name of the net in progress is stored in the contacts database, so contacts can be filtered based on that information. A variety of filters are available for filtering data in the contacts database, including a custom filter that provides a lot of flexibility for searching and filtering the contacts database.
NetLogger provides a messaging feature called Almost Instant Messages (AIM). This allows the NCS/logger and those monitoring the net with NetLogger to communicate over the internet, similar to other online chat programs. The reason that Almost is used in the feature description is that NetLogger only polls the server once every 20 seconds, so it may take up to 20 seconds to see a message that someone else has sent.
This feature can be used to help with net operations, e.g. relays can provide check-in information to the NCS when propagation is poor. Also, users can communicate check-in status, e.g. when they might be temporarily unavailable, or when they want to check out without having to interrupt the net in progress.
This feature can also just be used as a way of socializing and building community. This might be especially true in the case of a WAS/DX contact assistance net, where a user may only get one turn every 30-60 minutes, and the on-air communications might be restricted to the exchange of signal reports and a short greeting.
The AIM window provides information regarding when people start or stop monitoring the net (this feature can be disabled). Text in the AIM window is colored to help highlight messages that you have typed, or messages that have come from the NCS.
