The NEW Nipper 360 V4 (Double) From Out N About...
Wonderful new colours and improved design really helps the new V4 Nipper Double from Out N About to be their best ever side-by-side twin pushchair! Great for an all-terain pushchair that has been designed with parents firmly in mind, and at only 72cm wide it does still go through most internal doorways when you are out and about!
The main changes are the solid fabric cover that can be rolled back over the back mesh once the seat is fully reclined. Getting back to the Nipper 360s roots there is a wonderful swivel wheel at the front that can be locked into place, and still at only 12.8kg for a double it is still one of the lightest double pushchairs available.
The Nipper 360 V4 offers lie-flat recline (pictured) to your child, meaning it can be suitable from birth, and the use of carrycots is perfect for newborn children. Two carrycots can be used for twins without compromise.
Some of the main features of the new Nipper 360 V4 are:
- lie-flat newborn position (a newborn support is also availalbe to purchase)
- multi-position reclining seat
- solid fabric cover can be rolled over the back mesh
- lockable 360o swivel front wheel
- lightweight aluminium frame
- independent rear suspension
- 5-point safety harness that is now softer than the older version
- rain cover is included
- retractable large sun hood
- pneumatic tyres
- large shopping pouches
- handy solid fabric zip pockets
- quick release wheel system
- new and improved foot-braking system
- handle bar height adjustment (between 77-103cm)
The V4 goes that little bit further with enhancements from the wonderful V3 version, and comes in the creative new colours of; Raven Black, Carnival Red, Mohito Green, Purple Punch and also Lagoon Blue.
This particular version is the Mojito Green model.

I am in the middle of this pattern! Your's turned out great!!! I am having trouble with the fitting of mine… what kind of fabric did you use?

I used a medium weight drapey polyester fabric. For the fit, I definitely made a muslin version first! I ended up cutting a whole two sizes smaller on top than on the bottom. Remember if you make alterations to the dress pieces, also make the same changes to the foundation pieces AND lining pieces. (That was why I cut a smaller size, instead of trying tricky alterations on the bodice…it was going to be really hard to make changes to the pattern!)
Good luck!!

OH MY ! Holy monkey what a fantastic dress. I can't imagine even attempting this! The piping is fantastic. I would love to see super detailed pic's as I can't believe that this is humanly possible at home (my sewing machine truly…is truly bad at stitches ;-)_) I love the fabric also, really wonderful on you.

I bought this fabric at my local fabric store Fabricana – they don't have an online shop though! If I ever see it for sale online I'll add it to the notes for this project. I bought it in the last two months so it's likely out there, somewhere.

Evans sues USF over his dismissal as coach
Jessie Evans filed suit against USF on Thursday for firing him as men's basketball coach and against the school's athletic director and attorney for allegedly defaming him.
The unlawful termination lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, seeks undetermined damages based on his lost compensation and "emotional distress."
It also seeks undetermined punitive damages, charging that athletic director Debra Gore-Mann and USF attorney Michael Vartain "acted maliciously" when they said Evans asked for a leave of absence and was responsible for NCAA violations.
By stipulating that the firing was for "just cause," the school indicated it did not intend to pay him the rest of his contract, which had two years to run at an annual salary of $250,000.
Gore-Mann and Vartain "made up these claims that they fired him for good cause so they don't have to pay him anything," said Evans' attorney, Dan Siegel. "In my mind, the defamation exacerbates his injuries. They made statements telling the world he's not employable."
Vartain said, "The university will defend the case effectively and assertively."

Donegal students are runners up in Engineers Ireland 'Xperience Engineering' competition
Donegal Students from St Riaghan's NS, Glenties, Co Donegal have been named runners up for their entry, which focused on wind turbines, in this year's Engineers Ireland Xperience Engineering Competition 2012. The finals took place in The Helix, DCU, Dublin 9.
Students from Cahir Boys NS (Tipperary) were named winners of the Junior category with students from John Scottus, Dublin taking the trophy for the prestigious title of the senior category. Both category winners received a laptop and trophy for their school.
Last December all registered primary schools were sent out a pack from Engineers Ireland highlighting the theme for this year's competition which was 'Technology for Life'. Over a four month period, participants worked on their projects which reflected engineering in their local community. Recurring themes include health focused projects and wind energy.
John Power, Director General of Engineers Ireland, said: "The Xperience Engineering project has a long history with schools around Ireland.
This is the 4th year of the competition and each year I'm delighted with the level of interest and enthusiasm as well as the high calibre of projects that are entered. Students who made it this far should be very proud of themselves. Congratulations on a job well done."
The competition is divided into two categories, the first targeting 3rd-4th class and the second focusing on 5th-6th class. The top 15 projects from each category have been chosen to represent their school at the Xperience Engineering National Final. The winners of the Junior and Senior Categories each receive a trophy and a laptop for their school and a cheque for educational equipment. Highly commended entries in both categories will receive laptops for their school.
The 'Xperience Engineering' competition is just one of the activities run by the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme, designed to encourage students to explore the world of engineering and science, and inform them of the fantastic career opportunities in engineering. The STEPS programme is supported by Discover Science and Engineering, Ireland's national science promotion programme managed by Science Foundation Ireland on behalf of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.

Motorbike Man man a dash into the garden between showers and collected a variety of leaves, herbs and nuts from the garden, and we were set. We created trees of varying detail, from a few simple pasta pieces to a full display of leaves and nuts in the play dough.
We thought of autumn related things and made some of those - conkers, fireworks, pumpkins using the dough and some accessories.
They learnt to identify the tree by its leaves - I was impressed that Spiderboy could name quite a few of them!
We passed a good hour or so having fun with all the autumn colours and the kitchen had a lovely smell afterwards!

As things go, it hasn't been until today that I had a chance to begin the exercises in Liber MMM. I knew that if I didn't start soon I would be doing mis-service and so to to kick it all off I went and bought a nice journal to keep track of it all!
The first exercise is Motionlessness, so I got myself all ready by making sure my chronograph on my wrist watch worked and arranging myself in a comfortable position. I was laying on my bed with my shoes off, started the timer and stopped moving. It was a little harder than I expected. It was swallowing spit that did me in at the end! If I hadn't done that I'm guessing I could have gone longer. I lasted 5:30 minutes so I was happy with those results, especially since I was right out the gate.
I did notice that when my mind wandered it distracted me for all my discomforts but I wanted to focus on how my body was feeling so I kept the wandering to a minimum. In future exercises I will need to keep it focused so I might as well start now. Once I hit 15 minutes laying down without moving I will progress to sitting and then standing before moving on to more 'advanced' exercises. I must say that the next exercise listed is Breath Control, I might try that in conjunction with Motionlessness.

Well, you can improve slightly with softwares like NeatImage, NoiseNinja, Photoshop; etc. However, the use of software isn't majic cure. There's a saying 'trash in - trash out'. It means there's nothing you can do about a hopelessly noisy image.
In Photoshop you go to the menu: Filter - Noise - Reduce Noise... Then you just have to find the settings to your liking. Another thing is that, when you reduce noise you will also lose some details. There's a compromise.

text: Compact disc4+ T cells with immune regulatory function can be either FOXP3+ or FOXP3?. of CD4+ Treg was dependent upon processing and presentation of TCR peptides from ingested Vβ8.2TCR+ CD4+ T cells. Additionally dendritic Emodin cells pulsed with TCR peptide or apoptotic Vβ8.2+ T cells are able to primary Treg and mediate protection from disease in a CD8-dependent fashion. These data highlight a novel mechanism for the priming of CD4+ Treg by CD8α+ DC and suggest a pathway that can be exploited to primary antigen-specific regulation of T cell-mediated inflammatory disease. and with an increasing number (10 – 1000 × 103) of irradiated splenocytes from na?ve B10.PL mice and proliferation was measured after 72 hours incubation (Fig.1a). In parallel we analyzed the response Emodin of the CD4+ T Emodin cell clone (B4.2) that is reactive to another conserved region peptide B4 from the TCRVβ8.2 chain. B4-reactive CD4+ T cells do not spontaneously expand during EAE disease and do not regulate EAE upon adoptive transfer [6]. In addition L-cell transfectants expressing the I-Au Class II MHC molecules were used in the place of splenocytes to control for non-specific I-Au -reactivity. Data presented in Fig1A. show that co-culture with high numbers of irradiated splenocytes (0.1 – 1 × 106) induces significant proliferation in the B5.2 CD4+ T cells. Specificity of the B5.2 T cell response was confirmed by the failure of the B4.2 CD4+ T cell clone to proliferate. Neither clone proliferated on incubation with the I-Au-expressing L-cell transfectants. These transfectants express functional I-Au molecules as is usually evidenced by their ability to stimulate B5.2 T cell clones (Stimulation index from 8.5 to 11.2) upon exogenous addition of peptide B5 to the co-culture [Data not shown and 25]. Results suggest that the TCR peptide determinant within B5 but not B4 is being naturally presented by APC in the splenocyte population. Figure 1 Stimulation of the CD4+ Treg clone B5.2 by syngenic antigen presenting cells isolated from na?ve mice and from mice with ongoing EAE Next we identified the APC population that was most efficient in stimulating the B5.2 CD4+ T cell clone. B cells macrophages and dendritic cells had been enriched from spleens produced from na?ve B10.PL mice using magnetic beads. For evaluating the B5.2 T cell excitement by isolated APC subsets analysis of IFN-γ-secretion Emodin was performed since it was found to become more sensitive when compared to a proliferation readout. The enriched APC populations (1 – 100 × 103) had been co-cultured using the B5.2 Compact disc4+ T cell clone. Fig1B. implies that dendritic cells had been the most effective stimulators from the B5.2 Compact disc4+ T cells with significant IFN-γ creation (850 pg/ml) detected at a focus of 30 × 103 DC/well. It really is crystal clear that at higher amounts macrophages could stimulate the B5 also.2 Compact disc4+ T cell clones. Nevertheless as macrophages had been enriched using anti-11b beads it had been possible that Compact disc11b+ myeloid DC had been contaminating the macrophage inhabitants and stimulating the B5.2 Compact disc4+ Treg. However since only a Rabbit polyclonal to ACTL8. minor population (less than 5 %) of purified CD11b+ cells were CD11c+ it is likely that macrophages are also able to stimulate CD4+ Treg albeit less efficiently. B cells could not stimulate B5.2 CD4+ T cell clones. These data identify DC as the most likely candidate for the physiological processing and presentation of TCR-derived peptide and priming TCR-reactive CD4+ Treg in vivo. Stimulation of CD4+ Treg is usually augmented if dendritic cells are derived from the draining cervical lymph nodes during active disease Large numbers of Vβ8.2+ T cells undergo apoptosis in the CNS during the course of EAE [20]. This suggests that an enhanced number of apoptotic Vβ8.2+ T cells will be engulfed by the DC in an inflammatory environment leading to increased TCR-peptide display. If this were true it predicts that stimulation of the CD4+ Treg would be augmented by APC derived from the CNS-draining cervical lymph nodes of mice with ongoing EAE in comparison to healthy mice. To examine this hypothesis DC were isolated form Emodin the cervical draining lymph nodes (DLN) of mice with ongoing EAE and from healthy na?ve mice. Fig.1C. demonstrates that DLN DC derived from animals with active disease but not from healthy na?ve.

YORK, Maine — Orthopaedic Associates of York Hospital will on March 1 destroy old X-ray films up to and including the year 2007.
Maine law requires that X-ray films be retained in the original or electronic form for five years, or in the case of a minor, five years past the age of majority. After that time, films may be presented to the patient or destroyed. Written X-ray reports are retained permanently in the patient's medical record.
Anyone wanting to retain his or her X-ray films should call Orthopaedic Associates of York Hospital promptly at (207) 363-3700.
KITTERY, Maine — On Wednesday, March 6, at 5:30 p.m., Fair Tide will host an Open House Wine and Cheese Social to recognize the financial contributions made by One Warm Night (OWN) Sponsors. A campaign in which participating real estate professionals donate "Warm Nights" after every home sale, OWN has raised nearly $1,400 to support Fair Tide's transitional housing program. Valued at $26, each Warm Night represents Fair Tide's cost to house one person for one night.
Founded in 1998, Fair Tide is a prevention program that combines safe, affordable housing with comprehensive supportive services to keep people safe as they gain the necessary skills to obtain and maintain permanent housing.
Currently, four real estate professionals have contributed to the OWN campaign: Greg Gosselin, Gosselin Realty Group; Wanda Syphers, Carey & Giampa Realtors; Melissa Lesniak, Keller Williams Coastal Realty, The Lesniak Home Team; and Susan DeQuattro Arrand, Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty.
Fair Tide Executive Director Mary Oplinger said one Realtor also helped a resident find a suitable apartment with a landlord willing to take a Housing Choice voucher.
"Individually and collectively, these Realtors have made a tremendous difference in the lives of our residents," said Oplinger, who noted the Realtors have also agreed to serve as March's Thrift Store Business Partner. "They are very active in the Fair Tide community — they are amazing."
Proceeds from the Thrift Store, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and located at 15 State Road in Kittery, directly support the Fair Tide program. To learn more about Fair Tide, visit www.fairtide.org.

Freya House
You must be 18 years of age or older to enter this site.
Freya House is a female managed, model owned camming studio dedicated to changing the adult entertainment industry. With over 50 years of combined experience we have learned what works and what doesn't, and we want to pass that knowledge on to you.
Freya House was started by Aster & Odin, a couple who had a vision of how a camming studio should be, and then made it happen. Both are respected in their industries, and bring to the table tons of knowledge and resources for their models to profit from. They are committed to providing patient and caring education to models of all experience levels.
Freya House strives to empower our models through education in all aspects of the trade. We host meet-ups, mixers, and other events to foster a culture that encourages sharing and personal growth. Attending these events gives models the opportunity to learn from each other's experience and knowledge in a supportive social environment.
Freya House is devoted to enriching the adult entertainment industry by empowering our models to be successful through providing a supportive culture, quality education, technical and security support.
When I first thought about web camming my first thought was "you could never do that". I was very wrong! Freya gave me all the tools and walked me through everything I needed to do to be successful. Freya gave me a nice laptop and cam. They also gave me tips and advice on everything from how to do make up, to how to light and set up your room. They are also very supportive whenever I have a technical issue or problem in general. Camming has given me confidence I never knew I had. I meet people from all over the world. Working with Freya has changed the way I see myself and given me a whole new perspective on life.
Freya House helped me get my account for webcamming that set my 5 year plan in motion to get my shit together. Through hard work, dedication, and the support I have received from Freya, I'm finally successful and I'm accomplishing the goals I have set for myself. Camming has enabled me to do everything from getting a new set of glasses, the car I needed, and even go back to school. Most of all, it feels good to be independent so that I have time to do the things I love in life. Thank you!

Tom Stamm Archive | Trotskyist Writers Index | ETOL Main Page
From The Militant, Vol. V No. 7 (Whole No. 103), 13 February 1932, p. 2.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O'Callaghan for the Encyclopaedia of Trotskyism On-Line (ETOL).
Almost a year ago, the party held a mass trial here in New York to show the workers – that "the Communist party will not tolerate any trace of white chauvinism within its ranks――"
The sacrificial lamb in that case was August Yokinen, a Finn, who had uttered expressions of anti-Negro bias. In a lynching atmosphere, the high priests, Hathaway and Moore, the prosecuting and defense attorneys, together offered up Yokinen to cover the failure of the party leadership to educate the party rank and file against anti-Negro prejudices. Yokinen was expelled. Immediately afterwards he was arrested by the vultures of the labor department and held for deportation. The party was forced to launch a movement to demand his release. Contrary to the expectations of Hathaway et al., this spectacle did not eradicate white chauvinism from the revolutionary movement. From time to time the Daily Worker has reported its manifestations.
The latest took place in N.T.W.I.U. A worker in the needle trades, Burns, has been accused of white chauvinism. A mass trial was ordered. It took place on Feb. 7th in the same hall in which Yokinen was read out of the party. In place of Hathaway as prosecuting attorney we had the notorious bureaucrat Ben Gold; in place of Moore, Alexander. The faces, the actors were different but the farce was the same. Gold spoke first. He made two points: he admitted, in anticipating the argument of the defense, that the leadership of the union was at fault in "not fighting insistently against white chauvinism", but held it necessary to make an example of Burns to prove to the Negro masses that the union really means to unite the masses and wipe out white chauvinism. He asked for Burns' expulsion from the union.
Alexander jesuitically argued that Burns was guilty but that his guilt was not as enormous nor as horrendous as Shylock-Gold had made it out to be. Alexander, following Moore's line of a year before almost word for word, described Burns as a victim of capitalist class, ideology and of the leadership of the union which should have fought in the ranks of the union against "this poison". He proposed in place of expulsion a period of probation in which Burns was to be assigned special work: in the coming strike he is to be in the forefront of the workers' defense corps against the gangster attacks; he is to bring into the union an unstated number of Negro workers, and he is to sell a certain number of Liberators.
Then Burns took the floor to make a statement of denouncement. In Yokinen they had a meek lamb who agreed that he was all they said about him. But in Burns they caught a Tartar. Until he spoke, it was not clear what the specific charges against him were. It appears that Burns and a Negro organizer got into a personal dispute over a typewriter in the office of the union; that they had heated words, freely insulting each other which, by a process familiar to Stalinists, passed into blows!
With unconscious poetic justice Burns called Gold, Mr. Gold, accused him of discrimination in bringing only him to trial, criticized him and his fellow bureaucrats for not instructing him in what was white chauvinism and race hatred He also accused the Daily Worker of exaggerating his statements. It was remarkable that the hundreds of party members and sympathizers in the hall took this last charge as a matter of course. It was obvious that they were aware of the Daily's policy of exaggeration.
Burns' statement was really, though not intentionally, a terrific indictment of the bureaucracy in the union. Not all of Gold's demagogy in rebuttal could cover this up. The blows Burns dealt were too telling. The workers' jury brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommendation of probation with assigned tasks. Gold's plea for expulsion was refused.
This is a good sign. It demonstrated that the Stalinists can't always get away with such raw frame-ups. In our opinion, they should have brought in a recommendation to expel Gold from the union and along with him his fellow bureaucrats. Spectacles such as this do not and cannot eradicate racial prejudices. What is needed is, as the Militant remarked on March 1st, 1931, apropos of the Yokinen trial, "Education – an atmosphere free from demagogy, hypocrisy and incitement; an atmosphere created by teachers of the proletariat, not by terrorizers."

It's the year 1999 and international terrorist Erich Rhoemer is running his drug cartel in Costa Rica, which he uses to finance his notorious terrorist activity. Deep in his private compound he has created his own bioweapons laboratory, where his team of evil scientists have produced a virus called "syphonfilter".
This is a genetic-specific bioweapon which has the ability to target and destroy individual Races. Rhoemer has sent a ransom demand of 100 million dollars to the American Whitehouse, warning them that if his demands are not met he will fire his first missile at the city, which will cause an estimated 100.000 deaths.
However, Rhoemer's missile is not located in Costa Rica, where the virus was developed. Satellite surveillance has revealed that he has constructed the missile in a old Soviet base in Rozovka in Kazahkhstan. Your mission is to infiltrate the base, destroy the missile, all computer equipment and escape with the "syphonfilter" documents.

Recently parents, staff, and senior students gathered to watch their peers receive awards and recognition for good work well done at the Senior Prize Night.
This years graduating class recently attended their Year 12 Ball. It was a fantastic night and the students looked amazing. Teachers got in on the fun and some wonderful memories were made.
It was a great day at the MARC for the 2018 Senior Swimming Carnival. Staff and students had a ball as the fierce, but friendly, faction rivalry inspired all. As usual, the BBQ was fired up for lunch and students swam before a packed parent gallery.
The Senior Campus double-story block is now finished and comes complete with a lift. The new block features large classrooms, science labs, Food Tech, and Workshop Training facilities. Its just a part of the exciting ongoing growth plan at Austin Cove Baptist College. You can see the building project from start to finish in the gallery below.

In the Wholesalers rootling round the reduced section, & a sensible manager who is of the some profit is better than landfill costs was marking down far better than the staff normally do (friday night wanted to get home I imagine too).
So a 25kg sack of caster sugar for £10.00 (tiny hole in sack)
250 ml of apple balsemic vinegar £1.00
3 litres madeira cooking wine (de-alcoholised box) for £3.00
40 x 200g wraps of unsalted butter £5.00
Amongst others.
I have no idea what i'm going to do ..so some suggestions welcome, I suppose along with the eggs I could try perfecting meringues, but that doesn't really appeal
Any of this useful for some soaks for meat & rib / bbq sauce batch making for possible freezing?

Have a heartache that needs mending? Or a memory that deserves celebrating? Then, step right in.
A new interactive art installation at artEAST in Issaquah may be the perfect place to revisit a time from the past or explore a current emotion. The piece, entitled "Life, Examined," is artist Lindsay Peyton's own experiment, meant to explore, capture and answer questions from her own life and invite visitors to the exhibit to do the same. Guests may walk through the lab during gallery hours – and meet the artist onsite during the Downtown Issaquah Art Walk from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 5. The non-profit fine art gallery and art center is located at 95 Front St. North in Issaquah.
Peyton will keep regular artist hours – wearing her lab coat and performing experiments – from 1 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. A closing reception for the exhibit is slated for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17. Peyton will also offer two altered books workshops at artEAST – from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Aug. 18 and Aug. 25.
Peyton is an oil painter who went out on a limb, challenging herself to explore a new medium for her artist residency at artEAST. Her oil paintings are primarily of interior spaces – and may be viewed at her studios in Ballard and West Seattle – or in her hometown in Houston.
For her piece for artEAST, Peyton wanted to bring a space into three-dimensions. "Life, Examined" is an homage to a science lab – with a bit of magic and whimsy mixed in. "Science and art have a lot in common," Peyton said. "Both methods are used for probing deeper into mystery. They both involve hypothesis and process, questioning and experimenting. And, you have to repeat the process over and over in the search for greater truth."
In this laboratory, experiments will be conducted to mirror the artistic and scientific process of examining life. Peyton describes herself as a hoarder of memories. She will use the lab to examine love letters, photos, and pieces of nostalgia using paraphernalia such as microscopes, test tubes and dissection trays. She will keep a journal and display the various ART-i-facts she produces as she creates an atmosphere of work in process.
The show is part of artEAST's new program to nurture artists who are embarking on an expansion of their usual creative practices. "The goal of the program is to provide a supportive environment for an artist go above and beyond their normal way of working," executive director Carla Villar said. "This is a unique opportunity for an artist to make, play and explore while pushing the boundaries of their artist practice."

HONG KONG — An unpublicized aspect of China's current modernization program is food, specifically Chinese food, which has fallen into disrepute on its home ground. The best Chinese food is no longer found in the Middle Kingdom but in the British colony of Hong Kong, say those in the know -- Chinese chefs.
And it is the overseas-trained Chinese chefs, mainly from Hong Kong, who are being lured back to their homeland to once again put China on the world's food map.

Large turnout despite cool, damp weather
Despite damp and chilly conditions, an enthusiastic crowd gathered at St. Columban Catholic Church in Chillicothe for the 40th annual Oktoberfest on Sunday.
Event Co-Chair Pam Brobst said the cold and the rain had little effect on the spirits of those who attended the event, especially the youth.
"The kids seemed to be having a great time with all the activities that we had set up," Brobst said. "They didn't seem to mind the cold or the rain. We were so lucky we didn't have downpours. We really appreciate the crowd that came out. They looked like they were having a great time. We could have ordered up the perfect, but we didn't. That's okay, because we've had great weather for most of the 40 years we've had our Oktoberfest."
Many attendees took advantage of the large tents in front of the stage in the center of the church grounds to stay dry and enjoy an afternoon of live entertainment.
"We probably had more people who grabbed food and sat under the tents," Brobst explained. "I thought we had a great variety of entertainment that they could enjoy from all different age groups and all different kinds of talent. Because that was in the center of the church grounds, they could watch their kids. With the wristbands, the kids were just going from game to game. That was a great way for them to have fun."
Father Kneib said he enjoyed his first experience at Oktoberfest as the new pastor of St. Columban Catholic Church.
"I thought it went really well," Kneib said. "I saw some faces I recognized and a lot that I didn't. We had a lot of support from the wider community. I really enjoyed the festival atmosphere. I got to walk about and get to know people in a fun environment.
The live entertainment was just one of many activities for adults and children to enjoy during the afternoon event. Brobst said the available rides, including a barrel train, mini hay ride and buggy were all very popular.
"The buggy rides were fun because adults and children could ride that," Brobst said. "The train was just completed this week by members of the Bonderer family. It was hot off the press and a lot of fun for adults or kids to ride that around. The mini hayride was fun because that's something that some kids don't get to experience."
For the fourth year, Oktoberfest was used as a platform to honor the unsung heroes of St. Columban Catholic Church.
"It was such an honor to be able to give the award to two of our parishioners, Alice Van Dyke and Dorney Hecker," Brobst said. "Year after year, they work behind the scenes to help in any way they can. They're always there. They seem to sense when things need to be done, and they volunteer to do it. It was just nice to be able to honor them for that. They never want recognition, but it was so much fun for us to put them in that spotlight and honor them for all the things that they do to help other people.
Brobst said it takes a large group of volunteers and other supporters to transform the church grounds into an area of fun, food and fellowship. As event co-chair, Brobst thanked all who have helped make the event a success for four decades.
"I takes a lot of volunteers to operate Octoberfest," Brobst explained. "They help with setting up, tearing down and then all of the volunteers throughout the day. It's fun to see everyone involved. That's why Oktoberfest is an activity that brings our parish closer. We all work together for a common cause. We rely on those volunteers, and we couldn't do it without them."

Britain today is experiencing a cultural breakdown of catastrophic proportions. People are understandably upset to see a social decay creeping into all aspects of their lives. Some attribute this to immigration and an influx of people with a significantly different culture and religion from their own. Unfortunately we must look further back than today's newspapers to understand this phenomenon.
I recently watched a BBC program which featured scenes of the various ruined monasteries throughout Britain and I was shocked. What were once living communities were now mere shells and fragments of buildings jutting up in the landscape. An entire culture was torn from Britain leaving an eviscerated ruin in its place. What had these people done?
I recently watched a BBC program which featured scenes of the various ruined monasteries throughout Britain and I was shocked. What were once living communities were now mere shells and fragments of buildings jutting up in the landscape. An entire culture was torn from Britain leaving an eviscerated ruin in its place. What had these people done?
The dissolution of the monasteries robbed England of countless treausures of inestimable value: works of art; books and manuscripts preserved the learning of many civilisations; the traditions of hospitality, of health and healing, of education of all who desired it; progress in agriculture and stock rearing; and buildings magnificent or humble. Later the valuables of every cathedral and parish church, the legacy of centuries of generous giving by innumerable folk, were also looted for the royal purse. From the resulting demoralisation we have never fully recovered.
Cathedrals and Abbeys of England (1996). (Gilbert Thurlow, M.A., F.S.A., F. R. Hist. S., Dean Emeritus of Gloucester). Jarrold and Sons Ltd, Norwich.
When Henry VIII declared his independence from Rome and made the English church subordinate to the state, he unleashed upon England a cultural cleansing whose effects are still being felt today. The Hagia Sophia still stands today but Glastonbury Abbey is as you see it above. Deprived of many of their churches, Christians in Byzantium learned to survive under oppressive laws which made them second class citizens. Henry, on the other hand sought to stamp out the Catholic Church's influence in his domain. From 1536 to 1541 Henry carried out a dissolution of the monasteries, leaving many abandoned or sold to wealthy sympathizers. While some churches were turned over to local parishes, most of the wealth ended up in Henry's coffers.
|Buddha Statues in Afghanistan (before and after)
Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy and the Treason Act in 1534, making disavowal of the king's supremacy over the church an act of treason. Many Catholics were martyred including St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher. The settlement under Elizabeth I provided significant penalties for Catholics continuing Henry's cultural cleansing. This process continued unabated for some time, eventually depriving Britain of the only bulwark it had against the rising tide of secularism. This secular culture has proven to be woefully inadequate when set against new and vibrant cultures brought in by immigrants. Newcomers to Britain do not wish to adopt the culture of their new land for the simple reason that they see the effects of this moral collapse and wish no part of it.
And yet the fundamental questions at stake in Thomas More's trial continue to present themselves in ever-changing terms as new social conditions emerge. Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: what are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend? By appeal to what authority can moral dilemmas be resolved? These questions take us directly to the ethical foundations of civil discourse. If the moral principles underpinning the democratic process are themselves determined by nothing more solid than social consensus, then the fragility of the process becomes all too evident - herein lies the real challenge for democracy.
Religion, in other words, is not a problem for legislators to solve, but a vital contributor to the national conversation. In this light, I cannot but voice my concern at the increasing marginalization of religion, particularly of Christianity, that is taking place in some quarters, even in nations which place a great emphasis on tolerance.

ARIIX MLM Watch Dog – ARIIX Products Contain an Ingredient Listed as a Hazardous Substance with the Environmental Protection Agency
ARIIX MLM Watch Dog – ARIIX Products Contain an Ingredient Listed as a Hazardous Substance with the Environmental Protection Agency
The following is an attempt to answer the above accusation, there are other accusations on the site, as far as I know they are unfounded. Why do anonymous people continue to post unfounded accusations? Well, perhaps they have pent up anger issues, spousal abuse or other, who knows? Here it is:
The following was written by a Dr. Ray Sahelian (posted verbatim):
Magnesium stearate safety, side effects, toxicity, problems and review of studies by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Information on stearic acid safety
Is magnesium stearate in supplement capsules safe?
Are people overly concerned? Are there web sites that are spreading false safety concerns about this ingredient?
Stearic acid is a common fatty acid found in significant amounts in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, butter, grains, and milk products. Some websites have misleading information regarding the safety of magnesium stearate. Some of these sites claim magnesium stearate, even in as small an amount as a few milligrams. as found in dietary supplement capsules, is dangerous. There is no evidence this is true, particularly the tiny amounts found in supplements. I am not aware of any human studies that show MS, in the small amounts found in capsules, has any side effects or causes any harm. There is no evidence that small amounts of stearic acid are harmful. If anyone knows of a human study that indicates magnesium stearate, in the small amounts found in capsules, has shown to have harmful effects, email me. I have searched extensively and not seen any such clinical trials. I believe there is misinformation on web sites that claim this substance is harmful. Much of this mis-information is posted by companies who are trying to differentiate themselves from other vitamin companies by providing products that are free of mag stearate, perhaps because they are not able to compete solely on the actual effectiveness of their products. If anyone tells you magnesium stearate in the extremely small amounts found in capsules is harmful, challenge them to provide you with a human study that proves their point — they will not be able to. For some consumers this whole issue has become almost a psychological obsession going way beyond any logical reasoning. Some people regularly eat a piece of pie, cookie, or other sweet or junk food, or consume chocolate (which has tons of stearic acid) without any concerns, but get all worked up about insignificant amounts found in capsules. It defies logic.
Most dietary supplement capsules have about 500 mg of herbs or nutrients and perhaps 10 mg or less of magnesium stearate. Since magnesium mineral is part of the overall weight of the molecule, the amount of stearate alone is even less than 10 mg. One kilogram equals 1000 grams, and one gram equals 1000 mg. A few milligrams is an insignificant amount compared to the millions of milligrams of food we consume a day.
I have been taking dietary supplements for more than thirty years and I know older patients who have been taking a handful of vitamin capsules with magnesium stearate every day for more than 40 or 50 years and they are in their 80s and 90s (even a few who are over a 100 years old) and in good health. If MS was so toxic as some claim, how come none of these vitamin users have become ill after consuming these ms-containing capsules daily for several decades?
What is it?
Magnesium stearate is a white substance that has two equivalents of stearate and one magnesium cation. It is safe for human consumption. It is often used as a filling agent in the manufacture of supplement capsules. This substance has lubricating properties and prevents ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into capsules or tablets.
Chocolate contains cocoa butter, which is high in saturated fat. About a third of the fat in chocolate is in the form of stearic acid.
Stearic acid in food
Stearic acid is the most common of the long-chained fatty acids. It is found in many foods including vegetable and animal oils, beef fat, and cocoa butter. A person who eats a chocolate bar will ingest hundreds of times more stearic acid than someone taking a dietary supplement with magnesium stearate.
Safety of magnesium stearate and stearic acid, risk or danger, side effects and toxicity?
I am not aware of any human studies that show MS, in the small amounts found in capsules, has any side effects, poses risks, danger, safety issues or causes any bodily harm. There is no evidence that small amounts of stearic acid are harmful. The studies below prove that stearic acid, even in moderate amounts, has not been shown to be harmful.
A stearic acid-rich diet improves thrombogenic and atherogenic risk factor profiles in healthy males.
Eur J Clin Nutr. 2001. Department of Food Science, RMIT University, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia.
To determine whether healthy males who consumed increased amounts of dietary stearic acid compared with increased dietary palmitic acid exhibited any changes in their platelet aggregability, platelet fatty acid profiles, platelet morphology, or haemostatic factors. Results from this study indicate that stearic acid (19g/day) in the diet has beneficial effects on thrombogenic and atherogenic risk factors in males. The food industry might wish to consider the enrichment of foods with stearic acid in place of palmitic acid and trans fatty acids.
Influence of stearic acid on hemostatic risk factors in humans.
Lipids. 2005. Tholstrup T. The Research Department of Human Nutrition, Centre of Advanced Food Research, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Stearic acid has been claimed to be prothrombotic. Elevated plasma factor VII coagulant activity (FVIIc) may raise the risk of coronary thrombosis in the event of plaque rupture. Fibrinogen, an acute-phase protein, is necessary for normal blood clotting; however, elevated levels of fibrinogen increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Here I report the results of three controlled, human dietary intervention studies, which used a randomized crossover design to investigate the hemostatic effects of stearic acid-rich test diets in healthy young men. A diet high in stearic acid (shea butter) resulted in a 13% lower fasting plasma FVIIc than a high palmitic acid diet, and was 18% lower than a diet high in myristic and lauric acids after 3 wk of intervention. The present investigations did not find dietary stearic acid to be more thrombogenic, in either fasting effects compared with other long-chain fatty acids, or in acute effects compared with dietary unsaturated FA, including trans monounsaturated FA.
Statement by chemical manufacturer Hummel Croton Inc., South Plainfield, NJ 07080
Hazards Identification regarding magnesium stearate:
Acute health effects: Irritating to the skin and eyes on contact. Inhalation will cause irritation to the lungs and mucus membrane. Irritation to the eyes will cause watering and redness. Reddening, scaling, and itching are characteristics of skin inflammation. Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear protective equipment when handling this compound.
Chronic health effects: This product has no known chronic effects. Repeated or prolong exposure to this compound is not known to aggravate medical conditions.
Acute health effects: This product is not listed by NTP, IARC or regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA.
Absorption issues
Some consumers having read on websites that have unreliable information that MS hinders absorption of the active ingredients. This is not true. People take their supplements with food (chicken, chocolate) that contains hundreds of times the stearic acid found in supplements, yet absorb the herbs or vitamins quite well. I have seen no evidence that the intake of the tiny amounts of mag stearate in capsules interferes with intestinal absorption of nutrients. Anyone who makes this claim needs to show scientific proof with several studies done in humans.
Q. Thank you for your Passion Rx. It actually works! The report below on magnesium stearate concerns me. Here is a quote from a website, "The Truth About Vitamin Supplements: Check your vitamin labels. Do they contain Magnesium Stearate or Stearic Acid? Studies by the University of Texas Health Science Center and the East Carolina University School of Medicine reveal that these toxic excipients cause a rapid collapse of T-cell membrane function and cell death; therefore suppressing the immune system. (Immunology, 1990, July). It is estimated that 90% of the vitamin and mineral products consumed today contain stearates. These are used as binders in tablets and in the processing of gelatin capsules. Consumers often take handfuls of capsules and tablets to get vitamins, minerals and other key nutrients from supplements that contain stearates, and instead, in reality, get a powerful immune suppressive treatment. For more information on this topic and copies of the above-quoted studies as well as other studies and warnings concerning stearates, send an email to Quantum Nutrition Labs' nutritional supplements. Our products are 100% free of toxic excipients, including magnesium stearate or stearic acid."
Much of the misinformation about the safety or toxicity is posted by companies who are trying to make themselves different from other vitamin companies by providing products that are free of this ingredient. The study referred to by this company was actually done in a cell culture. Below is the study that is referred to and my comments.
Molecular basis for the immunosuppressive action of stearic acid on T cells.
Immunology. 1990; Tebbey PW, Buttke TM. Department of Microbiology and Immunology, East Carolina University School of Medicine, Greenville.
Studies were performed to determine the mechanism by which stearic acid (18:0) selectively inhibits T-dependent immune responses in vitro. Incubation of mitogen-activated B and T cells with stearic acid resulted in dissimilar patterns of incorporation of the saturated fatty acid into their membranes. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses of T cells showed an accumulation of disaturated 18:0-containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) that replaced normal cellular PC. Less significant quantities of the same PC species were seen to accumulate in B-cell membranes; rather, they increased their proportion of oleic acid (18:1)-containing PC. The different lipid compositions of the lymphocyte cell membranes after exposure to 18:0 were correlated with their plasma membrane potentials. In T cells, the accumulation of disaturated, 18:0-containing PC coincided with a rapid (within 8 hr) collapse of membrane integrity, as determined by flow cytometry. The collapse of membrane integrity was found to be time and dose dependent. No such depolarization was observed in B cells which, by virtue of their desaturating ability, were able to avoid incorporating large amounts of disaturated 18:0-containing phospholipids into their membranes. It is proposed that a lack of stearoyl-CoA desaturase in T cells precludes them from desaturating exogenously derived 18:0, thus leading to increased proportions of 18:0-containing disaturated PC in their cell membranes. The increased abundance of this PC species may enhance membrane rigidity to an extent that plasma membrane integrity is significantly impaired, leading to a loss of membrane potential and ultimately cell function and viability.
Comments: This study is totally irrelevant to what would occur in the human body from the tiny amounts of stearic acid ingested in capsules. If you directly put a particular nutrient, vitamin, fatty acid, amino acid, medication, herb or any substance in a high enough dosage directly in a cell culture you will get results that have nothing to do with what happens when a tiny amount is ingested as part of a medicine, supplement, or through diet and is diluted and distributed to trillions of cells. For instance, you can kill a cell if you put too high an amount of fish oil fatty acids near it in a cell culture, but that does not mean fish oil fatty acids, the omeag-3s, are harmful to you when ingested in reasonable amounts – in fact omega-3s are healthy fatty acids. People or companies who use this type of in vitro study to make such a leap either do not understand medicine or science, or are purposely misleading consumers for marketing reasons.
Q. Are these studies not valid? Please advise. "Stearic Acid inhibits T-cell dependent immune responses. Plasma membrane integrity is significantly impaired, leading to a loss of membrane potential and ultimately cell function and viability." Tebbey PW, Buttke TM, "Molecular Basis For The Immunosuppressive Action of Stearic Acid on T cells" (Immunology, 1990 July. When cells were exposed to stearic acids and palmitic acids, there was a dramatic loss of cell viability after 24 hours. Cell death was induced by stearic and palmitic acid."
Ulloth, JE, Casiano CA, De Leon M. Department of Microbiology and Immunology, East Carolina University School of Medicine. "T-helper cells become the target of stearic acid."
"The addition of palmitate or stearate to cultured cells led to activation of a death program with a morphology resembling that of apoptosis. Palmitates and stearates caused cardiac and other types of cells to undergo programmed cell death."
Sparagna, GC, Hickson-Bick, DL, Department of Pathology and Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston. American Journal of Medical Science, Jul 1999; pg. 15-21.
A. See my explanation written above. You can put an excess of any healthy substance, including fish oils, around cells in a Petri dish and the cells can die. This does not mean that fish oils are harmful when ingested in reasonable amounts. What happens in an isolated cell in a Petri dish has little relevance to the actual ingestion of that substance since the dilution of the substance that ends up in trillions of cells in the body makes it insignificant.
Q. Can you comment on these I found on some website? "Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Calcium Stearate, Palmitate, and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils are lubricants which enable manufacturing equipment to run more efficiently but inhibit eventual dissolution of the nutrient. Stearic acid may prevent absorption by individuals with compromised digestive systems. Magnesium stearate and stearic acid also present the problem that delivery of the active ingredient may be considerably further down the intestinal tract than the site originally intended. This may result in the nutrient being delivered away from its optimal absorption site. Not only can this impede absorption, in some cases it might be harmful to the liver." Czap, AL. Townsend Letter For Doctors and Patients, July 1999. Consumers often take handfuls of capsules to get nutrients from supplements containing magnesium stearate or stearic acid and instead, get a powerful immuno suppressive treatment! Most retailers are not aware of this threat and mistakenly claim 100% purity for their products. Ask suppliers to provide a written statement that guarantees their supplements are free of stearates. In fact, ask for full label disclosure listing every compound used to produce each product, and eliminate those supplements that have potentially harmful additives.
A. The statements above are probably written by someone who does not have a good understanding of the human body, physiology, metabolism and digestion.
Q. Thorne Research references in their catalog magnesium stearate affecting the solubility and bioavailability of nutrients and therefore does not use it in their product line. The study mentioned was in Pharmaceutical Technology. That's the only info I have. I would love to know differently as I am concerned about all the magnesium stearate in all the supplements I take and would like to get the full availability of a nutrient/supplement intended. I do enjoy your website and information and use it often in my research since I am an herbalist.
A. I have a different opinion. In my experience, the use of magnesium stearate does not have any noticeable influence on nutrient or herbal absorption. I have taken countless products that have magnesium stearate and felt the potency of such products. For instance, I take Passion Rx which contains magnesium stearate and I notice the powerful effects of the herbs. There is quite a lot of misleading information and unnecessary concern about the tiny amounts of magnesium stearate found in supplements.
Q. TI recently bought a hoodia product. When I got it I was disappointed to see magnesium stearate (from vegetable products ) on the label ! Rival hoodia products claim hoodia containing magnesium stearate as POISON ! I subsequently did some research on various sites …including yours …and was relieved to find out it was harmless in the manufacture of supplement tablets ! Now I don't have to switch my hoodia for another brand !
Most of the time magnesium stearate is made by subjecting cottonseed or palm oil to high heat and pressure in the presence of a metal (in this case magnesium) catalyst for several hours. This creates a hydrogenated saturated fat. I did the math and it follows that if each 1000mg capsule has approximately 2% magnesium stearate in it ( this seems to be about average) that means 20 mg of the capsule is hydrogenated fat. If I take ten capsules a day I would be ingesting about 73,000mg of hydrogenated fat per year or about 2.5oz. Like most people who pay attention to their health and do take supplements, I take a lot more than ten capsules a day. As a person who reads labels at the grocery store and promptly rejects any foodstuff with hydrogenated oil in it, why would I take a supplement with hydrogenated oil in it?
The amount of stearate consumption is even less since magnesium is part of the weight. Therefore, even if there is 20 mg or so of magnesium stearate in a 1,000 mg supplement capsule, some of that weight is a healthy mineral. Some people can get quite obsessed about minutia that, practically speaking, have little or no influence on their health. One could get worried about these tiny amounts that is not likely to have any health effects yet have no concerns about getting in the car to drive to the local movie theatre. The risk of a car accident with bodily harm or inhaling pollutants while on the road are much more likely to occur than the minute amounts of magnesium stearate causing harm to health. If a person is that worried about every possible harm that could occur to them, then they would stay home and not even go out of the house. Then again that has its own risks since once could become vitamin D deficient due to lack of sunlight and possibly get depressed due to lack of human interaction. The amount of hydrogenated oils you mention as a result of ingesting 10 capsules a day about the same or less than eating half a donut over a period of one year. (See an email below that questions the presence of hydrogenated oils in mag stearate.) If your diet is so perfect (with absolutely no sugar, bad fats, cookies, cakes, ice cream, etc) that eating the equivalent of half a donut over a period of year would concern you, then you may look to find supplements that do not contain it. How many people can truly claim that throughout the whole year they do not ingest any ice cream, regular soda, cookies, pastries, a piece or birthday cake, white bread, more than a cup of coffee a day, cream added to the coffee, artificial sweeteners, margarine, or any type of unhealthy food? I think drinking several ounces of fruit juice at one time is a much more significant health issue since it raises blood sugar levels and promotes an excess insulin response. I am certain there are many people who are concerned about mag stearate in their capsules yet consume unhealthy foods on a regular basis without worrying about that. I think there are more important health issues to focus on. If a person is taking more than 10 capsules of supplements a day, there is a significantly higher risk of side effects from the active ingredients in all of these pills rather than the insignificant amount of magnesium stearate. It often surprises me on how some people go to great lengths in trying to avoid ingesting something that has practically no harm to them yet do not realize there is a higher risk of harm from so many other activities they do routinely, for instance driving for leisure or even going skiing.
Q. I work for a vitamin company and have been doing a little reading up on these substances, and have read your responses. Stearic acid / mag stearate, does not have any trans fatty acids in it. The person asking the question is making it sound as if there is a concern about this, and your response implies that there is so little, that it should not be a concern. It's my understanding, that there is 0 trans fatty acids. The trans fatty acids are formed when the oil is only partially hydrogenated. This Statement by Now Foods talks about it a little and says there are 0 trans fats. http://www.nowfoods.com/Quality/QualityNotes/M093528.htm
Perhaps you could change that response? This seems to be coming more of an issue.
A. Yes, you are right, I am assuming that there are are some hydrogenated oils in the magnesium stearate since high temperatures may be used in the preparation. I would still like to see an independent analysis to determine whether any of the stearic acid is hydrogenated,. Not that it matters much since the amounts that are consumed are so tiny to be practically irrelevant.
Pattabhi Jois on the Method of Ashtanga Yoga
A short video of Pattabhi Jois talking about the Method of Ashtanga Yoga can be found on youtube. You can also watch the video below. In these uncertain times of political and economic unrest both in and out of the yoga world, it helps to remind us why we practice yoga. Those of us who have practiced for some time must also help carry the simple message of yoga as an internal practice to those who have not experienced its magic. Some have made Ashtanga yoga about the physical postures only and have confused the road map for the destination. To a new comer, it can be very intimidating and to those whose body type will not allow an aggressive physical practice it can be prohibitive. An elitist attitude about being an "ashtangi" has helped push the growth of vinyasa and flow classes and lead to the proliferation of numerous modern "styles of yoga". Let us remind ourself of the simple words of Pattabhi Jois…
There is only one yoga. It is universal and does not belong to any one. It is not physical or external exercise but rather a path for internal cleaning. The goal of yoga is the acquisition of self knowledge. There is only one method and it starts with the asana. to help you develop strength and stamina. As you continue to practice regularly, your energy will increase. The method requires practice and not just talking about the practice. Practitioners should put 95% of their effort towards practicing yoga (showing up on their mat and only 5% of their energy towards the theory of yoga. Sometimes people today want there to be 99.5% theory and .5% practice but that is not good. It takes discipline to prepare your body by developing stamina through a regular daily practice. As used here, body means the three types of body: external body, internal body, and spiritual body. In order to strengthen all three, the practice of yoga must include a breathing system in the vinyasa. The breathing system is very important for without it, the spiritual body and mind will not be effected. Breathing is a very important part of the method. Without breathing there is no vinyasa. The inhale and the exhale must match the movement and be smooth and even. The length of inhale should match the length of exhale. If one is ten seconds the other should also be ten seconds. It is in this way that you practice the method of yoga.

Best I have ever used.
Posted by Jude Schexnyder on 18th Apr 2015
I have been involved in motorcycle instruction for over a decade and these cones are absolutely the best I have ever seen or used. They stay planted when they land, retain their color and hold up under lots of abuse. The fact that they are USA made just makes it better.

The habit. One of the most tempestuous issues that swirled around the changes in religious life a few decades ago wasn't even a fundamental one. But because of its visibility and what it represented for many, including religious themselves, it dominated news articles and broadcasts, family table conversations, and community meetings everywhere. It found its way into every major Church document on consecrated life and plenty of congregational Chapter documents. It sparked lightning bolts of ire in its day, and even now you can hear distant rumbles of a storm that is moving on. The online chats fer or agin, or the occasional remark born of either nostalgia or bitterness resuscitates more than just memories. In addition, a growing number of newer religious communities opt for religious dress, and recent national vocation reports point to its importance for young people in discernment, indicating that the phenomenon, though less intense, won't die soon.
Clearly Hollywood hasn't gotten its fill of icons "of the cloth"—women and men. Without words, fabric speaks volumes, symbol of either the sacred or perverted. The Sound of Music, Trouble With Angels, Sister Act, The Da Vinci Code, Doubt—here, robes are front and center. Keep your eyes open, though. Even on the periphery, in film or on TV, you'll see garb and its accompanying attitudes and lifestyle more or less authentically portrayed. Those of us who've been "in" for a few years readily spot the directors who've done their homework.
So a few weeks ago in Boston, when we were asked for an interview for an online fashion magazine, we grinned and groaned. As you can see from the video and the accompanying article on StylelikeU.com, these fashionistas, a journalist and photographers from New York, wanted us to share the meaning of our "uniform" and what it says about our life. The Sisters of St. John the Baptist in Staten Island, the first community they interviewed, suggested that we might have a fashion statement to make too, since the heart of our mission is, of all things, media. The team joined us for Mass and lunch to learn more about us.
One of our sisters in Chicago was in the library last Thursday when a man in his thirties approached her to ask a question. "What's this about the world coming to an end in a couple of days?"
"It's a good thing I read the Internet," she told me afterward, tongue-in-cheek. "I saw that morning that the world was going to end on Saturday. So I had my digital prompting."
"First of all," she answered him, "I feel sorry for all those people who sold everything in view of the end of the world, something that's not even going to happen this weekend."
"I know what you mean," he agreed. "But what do you think about that?"
"Well, it's not a new concept; it's been around for 2,000 years. Even St. Paul had to deal with it. You remember his letter to the Thessalonians, the people who stopped working because they thought the end of the world was coming? And St. Paul told them to get back to work. That was 2,000 years ago, and this world is still around. Actually even if we knew the world was going to end in two days, I feel God would want us to continue living as human beings since that's how God is glorified—by living as the human beings God wants us to be."
That seemed to satisfy him. It was her clothing that told him that here was someone who just might be able to untangle a thorny question…and even go beyond what he had expected, happy to oblige.

Daughter of St. Paul: the Word of
God we share, along with the
means we use--book, radio tower,
and film reel, symbols of all media.
One of the sisters in the video above mentioned "respect." How often I've heard people invoke that as a reason for us to wear a habit! While no doubt, Sister wasn't thinking quite along that line, it does recall that far too many have missed the whole servant aspect of religious life, whether we're in direct ministry or not. The habit should remind people that we have dedicated ourselves, not to privilege, (though God knows we're grateful for every seemingly small kindness!) but to witness.
|FSPs from Ivory Coast
and Congo
Besides, the kind of "respect" that Sister referred to is not characteristic of all North America. In huge swaths of it, indifference and even occasional verbal abuse, pertaining to our life-choice or to the Church, are not unknown, even in so-called "liberal," tolerant regions. Secularism exacts a toll in unfamiliarity with, and certainly ambivalence toward, the meaning or value of any religious symbol. Relentlessly, though, the habit or uniform of religious reminds people who are inured to the divine—yet who long for their own personal relationship with it—that such a relationship is possible. Indeed, it is the goal of every human life.
|An Indian Daughter
of St. Paul
In habit or out of it, a life of vowed poverty, chastity, and obedience is a sign of the transcendent, of what begins here for us all and continues without end. The garb is a startling symbol of such a sign.
Why so many different kinds of habits? Some short, some long, some trim, some full…not to mention the colors and styles. The habit of monastic and cloistered religious lingered long past the emergence of apostolic, or active, religious communities. Since these latter had no other model on which to base their lives until Canon Law changed to accommodate the evolution in consecrated life, they often followed the rules, practices, and styles that preceded them, and in matters of clothing, integrated elements of lay dress common at the time of their founding. We have only to think of Mother Seton with her widow's cap.
Then Vatican II called for religious to modify their garb, to continue being for our times the signs of distinction they were meant to be, rather than of the separation they had often turned out to be. So religious discarded outmoded styles, and picking up on the lay motifs of their founding years, often donned secular dress—not exactly what the Council seemed to intend. One of the marvels of life in the Church is the multiform way in which the Spirit of God graces the Body of Christ, bringing life to the world through it. Time will tell where wisdom lies.
One of Jehovah's Witnesses once plucked at my sleeve, chiding me for wearing something that would not save me. Obviously she assumed that I had placed my trust in a piece of cloth, but she was a good reminder to me of the One I do believe in. How often this "simple, modest, and poor" attire does just that, not only for others, but also for us. There's a kind of cyclic flow to it. What I wear expresses who I am and what I value, then returns to reinforce the dynamic within me that dares to express itself.
Not a bad fashion statement, after all.

A day in Belgium: A visit of Orval.18:14
A while back in June, I went on a day trip to Belgium to visit Orval Abbey. I have never been to this part of Belgium and especially not to Orval. While the weather was a bit chilly and cloudly, being there was still refreshing and energizing. The calm and peace of the place were truly needed.
I was able to have a tour of the medieval ruins, which was quite inspiring. The ruins, added to the current abbey, gave me some interesting lines and shapes to work with.
