He has written and/or edited nine books on faithful Catholic spirituality and is the Executive Director and writer for EWTN's National Catholic Register. Dan is the president of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, and the creator of Divine Intimacy Radio and SpiritualDirection.com.
As the Leadership Conference of Women Religious continues to demonstrate that they are without mooring in the heart of Christ and the Church, it is important to continue to reorient ourselves to the timeless teachings of the one true faith. While they seek a cosmic evolutionary theology rooted in the incongruous musings of a questionable paleontologist (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) and a New Age styled spiritual relativism, those who desire an authentic relationship with God and neighbor continue to be drawn again to the dynamic reality of authentic Catholic spirituality – the faith of the saints.
Our faith reassures us that can know God in a personal and intimate way. His incarnation taught us, in the most tangible way possible, the depth of his love for us. The promise of his manifest presence through infused contemplation continues stoke the fire in the souls of the faithful who long to see his face, in this life, and the next. Of the utmost consolation is the living witness of the saints that continuously remind us that our faith will not be disappointed if we are truly committed to the narrow path that Christ has revealed to us.
In my previous series on false teachings on prayer I briefly discussed the teachings of those who have strayed from this path and the common misunderstandings regarding the progressive nature of prayer and what it means to encounter God in authentic prayer. In this next series of posts we will reflect more deeply, but hopefully in a practical way, on this progression as revealed by an ancient but ever-new perspective on the path to union with God.
I first summarized these insights in my book Navigating the Interior Life. One of my favorite responses to this portion of the book goes something like this: "I am a faithful Catholic and thought I was doing just fine in my spiritual progress. Even so, after reading your book I was struck with the reality that while I thought I was very advanced in my journey of prayer, I have realized I am actually somewhere near the beginning of my spiritual journey."
This could sound like a discouraging revelation. However, those that I have talked to have indicated that they were overjoyed to discover that the Lord has so much more in store for them. I pray you come away with similar insights as we explore these important stages of an ever-growing intimacy with God.
Authentic Spiritual Progress
Doctors of the soul have long understood that authentic spiritual progress can be predictable even though each person follows his own unique ascent up Mount Carmel into the heart of God. From St Catherine of Siena to St John of the Cross, every spiritual doctor of the Church has identified some continuum of growth that illustrates the progress of the soul toward union with God. Whether they be the degrees of love revealed so eloquently by St Bernard of Clairvaux, or the mansions of The Interior Castle of St Teresa of Avila, each has discovered that the same essential path of salvation (or the "narrow way" as Jesus called it) is trod by all who heed to call of Christ. Historically, the most widely used description of that path is known as the Three Ways.
The three ways represent three distinct phases of spiritual development. While several terms are used for the ways, the most common designations for them are: purgative, illuminative and unitive (Sts John of the Cross, Thomas Aquinas and others used the terms beginner, proficient and perfect respectively). The easiest way to understand the three ways is to compare them with our common experience regarding the normative path of human development. Here's a simple chart that illustrates the comparative phases and their relative equivalent in the three ways.
The parallels illustrated by this comparison can be insightful, revealing that — as with psychological and physical development — there is predictability in the phases of spiritual progress, as well. For instance, in normal human development, it is reasonable to expect that a toddler will fill their diaper. It certainly is not normal for a teen to wear a diaper, or to fill it.
The understanding of this development helps parents to know if their children are making reasonable progress or if they need special assistance. The same is true with our spiritual maturation.
Here's a side-by-side view of the two corresponding lifecycles, the physical on the left and the spiritual on the right:
The parallels are simple and obvious but the depth of understanding gained can enable very sophisticated insights into the progress of the soul. On the simplest level we can see that, birth in the physical sense parallels our baptism in the spiritual life. In the purgative way as with childhood, we are simply learning to cope with who we are on a fundamental level. We are learning the basics of what it means to be human and the basics of walking with God.
Even so, a few dissimilarities are also notable and helpful to point out. In the physical realm, there comes a time of natural decline in health eventually leading to death. In the spiritual life, growth is always possible. The two lifecycles are also dissimilar when we consider the fact that in the spiritual life, physical age can have little bearing on spiritual growth. For example, it is possible for someone who is very young — like St Therese of Lisieux — to be very mature spiritually. In contrast, someone who is physically old can be very immature spiritually.
In spite of these shortcomings, the power of this approach is that we can come to understand the "You Are Here" of our own spiritual progress. Knowing where we are, it is then easier to understand, explore, and map out the next steps in our growth to deeper union with the Lord.
The central challenge in digging deeper into the wisdom of the three ways is that the most popular texts are significant in size and complexity. This complexity, of course, reflects the challenging nature of describing how the soul progresses deeper into the interior castle. The best modern and reasonably in-depth treatment dedicated to this topic is entitled, Fulfillment of All Desire by Ralph Martin. For a practical summary, I have provided an overview in my recent book, Navigating the Interior Life, Spiritual Direction and the Journey to God along with tools to help the pilgrim identify where they may be on their own journey. Both are available at EWTN's Religious Catalogue.
As well, for those hungering for more on this topic, I will provide a two hour live interactive webinar on the evening of Friday November 1st, 2013. Seats are limited so click here to register now.
In our next post, we will begin to provide basic descriptions of each of the ways.
@Greg: I have to say that your response in disagreement was the most charitable that I believe I have ever received. For that please accept my heartfelt "thank you." You are a model of how public discourse should unfold and I am personally challenged by the grace you have exhibited. That said, even though your citations are familiar and accurate I couldn't disagree with your conclusions more strongly. However, I have been pondering this challenge for some time and I think it is time for a more specific treatment in a blog post by itself rather than in the comboxes. The title of the post will be "Who Can I Trust." I will put the URL here once I complete it. Again, thank you for your powerful model of Christian charity. Yours in Christ.
My apologies for two posts but I forgot to respond to the statement that Teilhard de Chardin was a "questionable paleontologist". That is not true. The source for this statement is a 1980 Time article citing Stephen Jay Gould (who has since been found to be a fraud). http://wp.me/p3pJsV-2j
Teilhard de Chardin was directed by his Jesuit Superiors and the Catholic Church to study paleontology in the service of Christ. He did so with great success, with his most notable accomplishment being a leader of the team that discovered Peking Man in the late 1920s. Teilhard de Chardin was widely respected and during his lifetime he wrote numerous academic papers and was invited to speak on paleontology around the world.
Peace in Christ,
Thank you for another outstanding piece. I really appreciate you sharing your insights on prayer and developing a deeper spiritual life in your articles here and at www.rcspiritualdirection.com. You are providing a great service in the promotion of the Faith. I recall meeting you in July 2012 at the Napa Institute Conference and you stood out even there as an extremely humble man who had a deep relationship with Christ.
However, I do want to correct the record re Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. His vision has been endorsed by the Church hierarchy and leading theologians starting with Pope Benedict XVI. In his outstanding book "The Spirit of the Liturgy", Pope Benedict sets forth the history and beauty of the Catholic Liturgy. In Chapter 2, he uses Teilhard de Chardin's writings as a cornerstone of the Eucharist.
"And so we can now say that the goal of worship and the goal of creation as a whole are one and the same—divinization, a world of freedom and love. But this means that the historical makes its appearance in the cosmic. The cosmos is not a kind of closed building, a stationary container in which history may by chance take place. It is itself movement, from its one beginning to its one end. In a sense, creation is history. Against the background of the modern evolutionary world view, Teilhard de Chardin depicted the cosmos as a process of ascent, a series of unions. From very simple beginnings the path leads to ever greater and more complex unities, in which multiplicity is not abolished but merged into a growing synthesis, leading to the "Noosphere", in which spirit and its understanding embrace the whole and are blended into a kind of living organism. Invoking the epistles to the Ephesians and Colossians, Teilhard looks on Christ as the energy that strives toward the Noosphere and finally incorporates everything in its "fullness'. From here Teilhard went on to give a new meaning to Christian worship: the transubstantiated Host is the anticipation of the transformation and divinization of matter in the christological "fullness". In his view, the Eucharist provides the movement of the cosmos with its direction; it anticipates its goal and at the same time urges it on."—Pope Benedict XVI, "The Spirit of the Liturgy", Chapter 2.
You can find additional endorsements (with citations) of Teilhard de Chardin by Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Cardinal Avery Dulles and Cardinal Henri de Lubac on Wikipedia
These comments in no way detract from your fine work. I just want to correct the record so that people do not get the false impression that the writings of Teilhard de Chardin are contrary to Church teaching.
Peace in Christ,
Dear Amy - you get the award for the best comment/question so far for this series. All healthy humans who mature in age sufficiently to get through each phase in maturity of the normal human development lifecycle always go through all three stages presented here. This reality in no way minimizes the unique way that each person matures. So, said another way, each person matures in a very unique way but all healthy people who live long enough, go through the same basic and predictable stages. For instance, you and I don't know anyone that went from diapers to graduating from a university before they were 10 years old. Every human must crawl, then walk, then run. Of course in there are a million variations to how each of us learn how to do this. Even so, the basic path is always the same.
This predictable progress is the same in the spiritual life. All the spiritual doctors of the Church recognize some kind of predictable progression with any person of goodwill. You are also correct in saying that God is not limited to these ways. That said, it is a very rare case that doesn't follow this path to sanctity and thus it seems that this way is the normal way that God works with the vast majority of souls.
I would love to have you join me for the webinar where I will explain this reality in a bit more detail and answer any questions about this you might have. I also will briefly address this reality in the final post of this series.
Thanks again for your very thoughtful comments.
Yes it is true that the spiritual lifecycle known as the Three Ways has been identified by the great spiritual teachers. And certainly it has a lot to offer,and it has helped me personally.
Yet, God is essentially a mystery, and his ways are not our ways. This too has been part of our Christian tradition. The question therefore arises, surely God may operate in different ways in the lives of people, both believers and non-believers, according to where each person is in his or her journey through life?
As such, to respect the God of mystery, should we need to qualify the presentation of the Three Ways by saying while this is one way in which the spiritual journey may play out in the life of an authentic seeker, God is not restricted by it, and may well have other paths as individual seekers work out their salvation in fear and trepidation??
@Stephen - You win the prize! Great feedback.
Dan: "it would be interesting to me to know what about this topic is interesting to you and other readers."
1.) Encountering God - Experiencing greater intimacy with God - Being a temple for Holy Spirit/Holy Trinity
2.) Addressing the spiritual and moral decay in our homes, the Church, and society by cooperating with God and allowing God to transform us interiorly and exteriorly
3.) Truly following Jesus by dying to self and carrying our cross daily (not just hearing about it, reading about it and thinking about it but learning how to actually live it in the trenches of daily life)
4.) Liberation from sinful habits we overlooked and allowed to become hardened in our lives
A beautiful article, which struck a chord from the start.
Dan wrote; "As the Leadership Conference of Women Religious continues to demonstrate that they are without mooring in the heart of Christ and the Church, it is important to continue to reorient ourselves to the timeless teachings of the one true faith."
I have been so frustrated with the LCWR, the Nuns on the Bus, and Sisters News. I have tried to contact them respectfully, to no avail. It is a sad state of affairs when the sisters refuse to reflect the Blessed Mother and the Catholic Doctrine in their daily lives. In my honest opinion, they abuse their role in our lives. I pray for their protection and deliverance from evil. Anyone can call themselves Catholic nowadays, I suppose.
Dan's comments have renewed a long forgotten fact that prayer is cumulative in our lives. Perhaps in our busy lives many have forgotten to power of prayer, the awesome power of God, and the role of the angels and saints.
I look forward too seeing more of Dan's work, as this is a subject of great comfort to me which he expresses in simple terms. I would like to know Dan's perspective regarding Thomas Merton's "The Seeds of Contemplation." Merton's book is beautiful and requires much introspection.
It is the book of Daniel chapter 20, which has influenced me to pray daily and to include St Michael the Archangel. The story about Lucifer and his choice to leave the presence of God Almighty, his disgust for mankind and the Word Made Flesh, and his commitment to destroy and degrade man brings me to love,forgiveness, and God's Will. Somehow it seems fitting that Dan Burke writes about prayer.
I look forward to reading Dan's book with hopes that it will bring further insight. Prayer is the most powerful tool we have. Let us not forget to thank and pray for Michael and the 9 choirs of angels.
Keep up the good work Dan. God bless.
@Connie - it was great spending time with all of you in Cajun land!
@Maura - no - are you not able to make it on the date scheduled?
By any chance will you be recording the webinar?
I strongly recommend the upcoming webinar. The talks were great at the Lafayette conference. You do not have to be a Carmelite to understand it. I recommend it to anyone wanting to grow in their spiritual life.
Thanks Robert - much appreciated.
Perhaps only off topic for you? Maybe I don't understand the depth or path for your series, but I look forward to your next article to further enhance your purpose. By the way, I enjoyed your appearance on The Journey Home, As a 1949 convert, I always watch the program.
Look forward to hearing more on next issues.
I find this truly inspiring. And fulfilling in the long run… I am very interested to receive article issues about this topic on Longing for the Face of God. I need this for my spiritual growth. Do I need to pay for this???
Thanks Dave - it would be interesting to me to know what about this topic is interesting to you and other readers.
Great start for a series concerning a topic so necessary for the New Evangelization to prosper. (Robert - thanks for the compliment but the remainder of your comments were off topic.)
very good! for those of us longing for this type of spiritual growth, this article is very interesting and sounds promising! thanks and I look forward to reading more

Wouldn't visit againPosted Feb 15, 2009
This hotel couldn't have been much worse. First of all, it doubles as student housing for the cosmotology school across the street. The parking lots were dark and didn't seem very safe, especially considering the area. Many websites list this hotel as pet friendly BUT IT IS NOT! Check-in took at least 20 minutes and two calls to the manager. The floor in the lobby has buckling tiles and most of the carpets are stained. The room wasn't super clean but could have been worse. The beds weren't very comfortable but sufficed for the 3 hours sleep we got.

Most Disgusting Place everPosted Nov 12, 2008 on Hotels
Roaches, carpet stains , broken lights, dirty light fixtures, staff incompetent, trash on floor in room, looked like a dorm, dark and dingy, safety hazards with outside doors open all night, barbeque grill up against building, smoking area right at entrance, AC filled with mold, and hotel website does not work so you can not find out info in "writing" and wireless internet only available in lobby. I will never stay here again

Reasonable place to stayPosted Dec 6, 2007
Dudley Inn is an okay place to stay. It is definitely not a dump nor is it a five-star hotel. It is acceptable and fine and that's all. I would stay there again. The location of Dudley Inn is not great due to the roads near it. Simply put, the hotel is hard to find because of the twists and turns in that part of town. That's not their fault but they told me at the front desk that some people have driven for an hour in Kernersville trying to find it. I wished that there was a refrigerator in my room. I needed one. The woman at the front desk said she would try to find one for me but she never did and never got back to me. However, when I asked the next person on shift if I could store some milk in the front desk area refrigerator my request was met with a smile. As long as little details don't get you upset and you're willing to adapt a bit Dudley Inn is perfectly acceptable.

|Reduction of graphene damages during the fabrication of InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes with graphene electrodes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23036991 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Although graphene looks attractive to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in optoelectronic devices, the luminous efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs) with graphene transparent conducting electrodes has been limited by degradation in graphene taking place during device fabrication. In this study, it was found that the quality of graphene after the device fabrication was a critical factor affecting the performance of GaN-based LEDs. In this paper, the qualities of graphene after two different device fabrication processes were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. It was found that graphene was severely damaged and split into submicrometer-scale islands bounded by less conducting boundaries when graphene was transferred onto LED structures prior to the GaN etching process for p-contact formation. On the other hand, when graphene was transferred after the GaN etch and p-contact metallization, graphene remained intact and the resulting InGaN/GaN LEDs showed electrical and optical properties that were very close to those of LEDs with 200 nm thick ITO films. The forward-voltages and light output powers of LEDs were 3.03 V and 9.36 mW at an injection current of 20 mA, respectively.

Where To Find Easy Guitar Songs For Beginners
If you're looking for easy songs to play on guitar, it can be hard to know where to start. In this article we'll take a look at some websites and books which offer a great selection of simple guitar songs that you don't need a lot of technical expertise to play.
Be aware that it can be difficult to find quality sites featuring guitar tabs and lyrics now, as many of the sites (in the US) that did have these have been forced to remove them for legal reasons. So I'm going to focus on books rather than websites here, rather than risk linking to a lot of sites which may have removed their easy guitar tabs by the time you read this.
1. Three Chord Songs
Three Chord Songs is a songbook that's aimed at novice guitarists, and features over 60 well-known songs from the 50s to the 80s. It contains chords and lyrics, but not tabs or solo lines, which won't be an issue for those who just want to practice strumming along with these classic songs. This is a compact book, and is easy to carry around.
The songs in this book include:
- Van Morrison – Gloria
- The Everly Brothers – Bye Bye Love
- Elvis Presley – Blue Suede Shoes
2. VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Rock and Roll
This book is published by Hal Leonard, and contains songs that were voted as the greatest of all time by musicians and others in the music industry. It offers tabs, melodies and chords, along with chord boxes which show you how to play the chords you'll need for each song.
This book does have mixed reviews, with some reviewers complaining that the songs have been simplified too much, but that's true of most publications that are trying to provide easy songs for beginner guitarists.
The songs in this book include:
- The Beatles - Hey Jude
- The Clash - London Calling
- Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
- The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
3. Ultimate Easy Guitar Collection
This book is a good choice for those looking for easy classic guitar songs, as it contains over 50 well-known tracks mostly from the 60s and 70s era. It doesn't have tabs, but you get the chords, lyrics and melody line. There are chord boxes to show you exactly how to play the required chords, and these are actually included at the relevant places within the song (as opposed to at the top of the page like you find in many books of this type), which makes things a bit easier.
The songs in this book include:
- Kiss – Beth
- Lynyrd Skynyrd – Free Bird
- Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now
- David Bowie - Changes
4. GuitarNoise.com
Guitar Noise has lots of great resources for guitarists, including a section of easy beginner guitar songs. At the time of writing, there are over 40 songs listed here. You'll find very detailed written instructions, and audio recordings of the various elements of the song, which really help you to learn to play properly by ear. There's also a link to tabs for each song.
The songs on the site are a mix of classic rock and more modern material, so whatever your taste, you'll probably find something that you want to learn to play.
Books and sites like these can be a great way to learn new songs, especially if you're a beginner guitarist, as they show you all the chords you need. However, they shouldn't be a substitute for using your own ears, since a lot of guitar sheet music (both tabs and notation) is not 100% accurate. This is true of both the free stuff you can find online, and sheet music that you buy in printed form.
Fortunately, this isn't so much of an issue when it comes to beginner guitar songs, since songs of this type usually have very simple chord structures anyway, so there's not so much to get wrong. But just remember that you should always rely on your own ears more than on transcriptions provided by others. Use these sources as a guide, but don't expect them to show you how to be note perfect.

ROCHESTER --It's a business that takes a lot of explaining, and raises more than a few eyebrows - a New York woman is getting paid to cuddle with complete strangers.
Jackie Samuels' Rochester, New York-based business is called the "Snuggery", and for $60, she cuddles with strangers for an hour.
For $300, Samuels spends the night, and to be clear, what she's doing, she insists, is strictly cuddling, hugging and handholding. Samuel stays PG, not rated R or X.
Samuels claims her business yields tangible benefits. It has been scientifically proven that the human touch releases Oxytocin - or happiness chemicals - in our brains.
Samuels says her customers rage from 20 to 85 years old.

Better late than never -- at least as far as the early-run king salmon on the Kenai River are concerned.
With a significant jump in the number of fish entering the Kenai River over the past week, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has lifted catch-and-release restrictions on the Kenai River, effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
"We've had a pretty good return in the river over the past week," said Mike Bethe, a Fish and Game area management biologist for the upper Kenai Peninsula's sport fisheries. "We're confident that we can project an escapement above the minimum levels."
The catch-and-release restrictions, implemented by emergency order on June 13, required all kings less than 52 inches in total length be released.
When those restrictions are lifted Tuesday, a king of any size caught on the Kenai River may be retained. Regulations that limit tackle to unbaited, single-hook artificial lures will remain in effect until the end of the early king salmon run -- midnight on June 30.
The number of king salmon passing the Fish and Game sonar counter at the mouth of the Kenai River increased dramatically starting June 16, when an estimated 441 fish entered the river. Between June 16 and this past Wednesday, 3,455 fish swam past the counter -- an average of 494 kings per day, with a high-water mark of 765 fish on June 17.
When Fish and Game implemented the catch-and-release emergency order on June 13, a total of 4,175 kings had been counted entering the river, and the department was generally seeing between 100 and 200 fish passing the sonar counter each day.
Bethe said there wasn't necessarily a reason why this run -- or any run, for that matter -- came in late.
"This run might have been two or three days late," Bethe said. "It just sometimes occurs that way."
Fish and Game manages the king salmon fishery on the Kenai River for a spawning escapement range of 7,200 to 14,400 fish. The department currently is projecting a total in-river return of 11,300 early-run kings. A total harvest of 2,700 fish has been projected, meaning the department's final escapement projection is 8,600 early-run kings.

Tottenham caretaker boss Tim Sherwood says he'd be keen on the fulltime job.
After their Capital One Cup elimination by West Ham United, Sherwood suggested he would be keen on the role despite not yet being informed by chairman Daniel Levy if he will be in charge of Sunday's match with Southampton.
"The immediate future is up in the air, that's as much as I know," said Sherwood, who was due to take the development team for training on Monday morning before receiving a call from Levy instructing him to take charge of the first-team instead.
Asked if he would like the job, Sherwood said: "It would have to be right for me and right for the football club. There are a lot of big names being bandied about to take this job.
"I think the chairman and the football club need to make the correct decision and find the manager who's best compatible to take this football club forward.
"I've got to be in the frame, but it's not my decision, unfortunately."

Use the following guidelines when setting up quorum devices:
Establish a quorum device between all nodes that are attached to the same shared disk storage enclosure. Add one disk within the shared enclosure as a quorum device to ensure that if any node fails, the other nodes can maintain quorum and master the disk device groups on the shared enclosure.
You must connect the quorum device to at least two nodes.
A quorum device can be any SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 disk used as a dual-ported quorum device. Disks connected to more than two nodes must support SCSI-3 Persistent Group Reservation (PGR) regardless of whether the disk is used as a quorum device. See the chapter on planning in the Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide for more information.
You can use a disk that contains user data as a quorum device.

Tampa Event Lighting Services, and
Wedding Lighting Company
Canopy Lights
Canopy, Cafe, Market, Cantina, Globe, Bistro, or whatever you call them, these lights are a beautiful addition to any event space! Canopy lights are our most popular lighting option. They provide functional light and are always classic and elegant. There are several different canopy styles including starburst, zigzag, and swagged designs. A canopy of lights can be created in both indoor and outdoor spaces. We can use existing structure for connection points or bring in our own structured support if needed. Popular additions to a canopy of lights are paper lanterns that come in various sizes and colors.
Up-lighting is a term used for lights that are placed on the ground and pointed upward towards some object where the light shines on. We commonly use up-lights for indoor events, however they also can be used to transform the mood of outdoor events as well. There applications include tents, trees and other landscaping features. We can change the color scheme of an entire space with the use of up-lighting. The up-lights we use are LED so they create virtually no heat in the room. We can control the mood throughout the evening with our color changing LED lights. We have different styles including wireless, waterproof, strip, and can style lights. You can choose from a wide variety of vibrant colors to set the perfect ambiance at your event.
Custom Projections
Custom Projections have a number of different applications, for example they can project patterns that create texture on walls or in tents, customize dance floors or even project your company's logo at the bottom of a pool. In the stage lighting industry these projections are known as "Gobo's" which stands for Goes Before Optics. The most popular Gobo projections for weddings are monograms, the bride and grooms names, or wedding date. Most Gobos are made of steel but the more complex patterns and colors can be achieved only by using glass Gobos.
Chandeliers can add a romantic touch to any venue. We can hang them just about anywhere there is a solid structure to attach to. You can add a chandelier to any lighting package
Spot Lights

Paper Lanterns
We have a wide variety of lantern styles, sizes, and colors. White paper lanterns are an elegant and classical option. Our colorful paper lanterns are a great way to transform the atmosphere of a room, tent or outdoor space. Paper lanterns can be hung individually with battery lights inside, or added to a canopy of lights for a romantic effect.

Hagen, R. and Liddle, J. (2007) 'Changing strategic direction for executive development in the public sector : opportunities for top business schools ?', International journal of public sector management., 20 (4). pp. 325-340.
Purpose – The purpose of this research is to examine the largely ignored executive development needs of the reformed twenty-first century public sector by executive education providers in business schools. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is predominantly conceptual exploring the current debates on the effectiveness of public sector management and the requirements for more relevant management and executive education through a literature review. The antecedents of the current position are explored. Hypotheses are developed about the provision of executive education for the public sector within business schools. In the absence of previous investigations in this field, a preliminary survey is conducted employing the Financial Times top 60 ranked executive education, 2006, to test the hypothesis and underpin more in-depth research. Findings – The findings demonstrate that almost two-thirds of the sample did not provide any executive education to the public sector, and most of the provision on offer was for specialised silos within the sector, or borrowed from existing private sector programmes. There was no support found from the sample for public sector new network governance or leadership challenges discussed in the paper. Findings also supported the view that there is a shortage of evidence-based research for many of the executive programmes that are being offered. Research limitations/implications – This paper is the first to explore the status of the field under investigation and provide a conceptual framework; whilst the preliminary empirical research has been an initial surface fact-finding study to establish the level and size of the problem, this has been achieved. This paper will now underpin a rigorous empirical research programme to explore the subject matter in greater detail. Practical implications – The findings support the hypothesis that executive education providers within business schools are failing to address the management development needs of senior executives in the public sector. The paper concludes that there are huge opportunities being missed by business schools both by their management faculty, to investigate and understand the problems of the sector, and by their executive education centres to co-design and deliver programmes to assist the sector to transform and develop effectively to meet the challenges posed by a more globalized, complex, networked world. The paper invites them to engage. Originality/value – This paper investigates a subject that has been identified by the Academy of Management as important. It requires further research but has hitherto not received much attention from the research community.

The State Library has an extensive collection of local histories in its research collection. These include county, town, and city histories, county reports, and commemorative programs from town celebrations, sermons, and other events. Although the Library does hold more contemporary histories, the majority of the material in its research collection dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In addition to the items in its research collection, the Library has several other local history related resources:
City and Town Directories
This large collection dates from the first Boston directory of 1789 and covers most Massachusetts communities, with the last Boston directory in our collection published in 1981. Directories contain a list of persons, organized by last name, residing in a town or city. Some directories also have house guides, which contain listings by address instead of by individual. City Directories and Voting Lists are found in the State Library's Special Collections Department.
Tax Valuation Records
Some of these records include individuals' names and property holdings, while others provide only aggregate totals. Many valuations include information on towns that are now part of Maine. The collection covers the period from the late 1600s through 1811. All of the valuations and corresponding microfilm can be consulted in the State Library's Special Collections Department.
Town and City Reports
The Library has an extensive collection of Massachusetts Town and City Reports, with some dating to the early 1800s. These volumes are located in the main library.
Vital Records to 1850
The Vital Records to 1850 series was compiled and published in the early 20th century for many municipalities in Massachusetts. These volumes include birth, marriage, and death information and are transcribed from town and church records, cemeteries, and private sources. These volumes are located in the main library.
Historical Map Collection
This collection, located in the Special Collections Department, includes Sanborn fire insurance maps and real estate atlases, panoramic maps (or bird's-eye views), railroad maps and profiles, county atlases, current and historic topographic maps, and printed maps issued by Massachusetts state agencies.
This information is provided by The State Library of Massachusetts.

That might indicate that the router is causing trouble. I've been through three routers provided by the German Telekom, and all of them were crap and didn't work reliably.

Hm, get one :) Just make sure you get a good one, like from 3com or Intel. Used ones should be available cheaply. The RTL cards suck and are a waste of money.

It was staged and hokey, and similar to what had been done in the past. Really, there was only one thing that made it special.
On opening day, Magic Johnson stood on the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and kept shaking off his catcher, Orel Hershiser. So Manager Don Mattingly strode to the mound, took the ball from Magic, turned to the dugout and signaled for a left-hander.
And out stepped Sandy Koufax.
Pure chills. The greatest left-hander in team and baseball history, dressed in a vintage Dodgers jersey, walked to the mound and the stadium was electric.
Then the game started, and out came left-hander Clayton Kershaw, razor focused, in complete command, simply dominating a team that when last seen was celebrating the winning of a World Series.

Kasturirangan declines comment on rocket programme reviewJanuary 3rd, 2011 - 10:29 pm ICT by IANS
Chennai, Jan 3 (IANS) Former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman K. Kasturirangan, who will head a seven-member committee to look into the future of India's heavy rocket geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) programme, Monday declined to speak on the subject.Queried about ISRO's announcement to review the entire GSLV programme after the failure of a rocket Dec 25, Kasturirangan, currently a member of the Planning Commission, told IANS: "It is true a committee has been set up under my chairmanship. But I will not comment now as a team has to go into various issues."
On Dec 31, ISRO announced the setting up of two expert committees - one to review the geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) rocket programme and the other to look into reasons for Dec 25 rocket failure.
The seven-member GSLV programme review and strategy committee will look into the future of the GSLV rocket programme, assured launch of INSAT/GSAT Series, INSAT-3D as well as Chandrayaan-2. It will also examine the realisation and operationalisation of an indigenous cryogenic engine and the strategy for meeting the demands of communication transponders in the immediate future.
To a query whether the review of GSLV programme includes its scrapping if warranted Kasturirangan said: "The issue is serious. First the committee has to study the issues involved. I am not in a position to comment now."
The GSLV review committee comes in the wake of the recurring failures of the GSLV rockets. Out of the seven flights till date, only two were successful and one a partial success. Three GSLV rockets along with their satellites failed, costing the nation around Rs.920 crore.
The first the GSLV rocket flew in 2001 when ISRO was headed by Kasturirangan. Media persons who attended that press meet remember Kasturirangan shedding tears of joy after the launch.
ISRO developed the GSLV rocket to launch heavy communication satellites on its own, instead of depending on other space agencies.

We all joined this group so we can work together and encourage and uplift and help one another to a closer walk with the Lord.
So, in the spirit of that sisterly love, what areas might you need advice or help with?
What prevents you from developing that closer relationship?
Is it time? Energy? Heart moods?
Maybe someone on here has also been struggling with it and can pray together with you about it, or maybe someone on here has went through the wilderness with it and can offer advice for what to do.
Let's reach out and help build a stronger church by beginning to help each other!

After the explosion at the West, Texas, fertilizer plant, the women of FireWives.com felt compelled to help.
Within a few hours, a Teespring T-shirt campaign was created to benefit the West, Texas, Volunteer Fire Department and raised $1,500 in 24 hours. Over $4,000 has been raised in just four days.
The group of over 200 wives and girlfriends of firefighters from around the country leveraged their networks within the fire community, including Jodi Geiman whose husband is a firefighter/EMT with the Georgetown, Ky., Fire Department.
"We're a pretty informal group of women, who found each other based on similar circumstances," said Geiman. "When the tragedy in West, Texas, occurred it struck a nerve with our group."
The group was moved to action and a T-shirt fundraiser was born. A committee was formed and a Teespring page was accepting orders within 24 hours of the decision to start a fundraiser. Teespring is a crowd-funded site offering screen printed T-shirts and other products, an ordering system and shipping functionality. The goods can be sold at a higher cost for fundraising efforts.
In addition to the T-shirt, a hoodie sweatshirt is also offered with a Maltese cross on the front with a heart in the center and the saying "Keep Calm and be FireWife Strong" on the back. T-shirts are selling for $16 and a minimum of $8 will be donated. Hooded sweatshirts are $28 and almost $7 of each will be donated.
"Our group really wanted it to be an effort from all fire wives," said Geiman. "It has been positively incredible to watch firefighter wives from across the country come together to support this effort."
Proceeds will go to the West, Texas, Volunteer Fire Department to use at their discretion. The department lost three fire trucks and even more equipment in the blast.
"The new equipment purchased may be for the firefighters," said Geiman. "But, it's for the wives too. Every hose, every radio, ever pair of boots and gloves helps protect someone's husband. The next time the pager goes off in West, it's going to be tough. We hope the new safety equipment will help ease the minds of the firefighter wives, even if it's the tiniest bit."
Another way the fundraiser reaches out to the wives of the West, Texas, fire department is by allowing the public to buy a T-shirt and have it delivered to a West, Texas, firefighter wife to remind them how strong they are despite the chaos.
There are 19 days left of the fundraiser.

Amazon's Second Quarter Loss Widens as Bezos' Spending Skyrockets
Shares of Amazon are sinking in Friday trading after the online retailer posted a wider quarterly loss than it did a year ago. Amazon reported a second-quarter loss of $126 million, compared with a loss of $7 million in the same quarter last year. Revenue climbed 23% to $19.3 billion, in line with estimates. Operating expenses rose 24% to $19.4 billion. It is CEO Jeff Bezos' spending that concerns Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who said, "We are not convinced that the company will share sufficient details about future spending to allow us to accurately model profit growth, and it may take time before earnings per share grows sufficiently to justify its share price."

"Putting my mother in a nursing home was the hardest decision I ever made. Ever," said Cynthia Cooper, recalling the day just over 3 years ago when she knew her mother could never return home.
Her mother, Frances Zaft, had lived in her own apartment in Randolph, Mass., with minimal outside help until, at age 88, she underwent a hysterectomy. She sailed through the surgery, only to develop a major infection a few days later, leading to a prolonged hospital stay and transfer to a rehabilitation facility. Weak, debilitated and depressed, she needed help with dressing, going to the bathroom, even getting out of a chair.
"The only alternative to her going to a nursing home would have been moving in with me," said Cynthia. "That would have meant my husband moving out. She needed so much care."
For people like Frances, who require skilled nursing care as well as physical therapy, a nursing home is the only answer. Currently, 24 percent of Americans over the age of 85 live in a nursing home. According to projections by Peter Kemper and Christopher Murtaugh, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1991, 43 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will live in a nursing home for some period before they die.
They face a series of challenges: Choosing the right home, finding ways to make life meaningful in their new surroundings and, ultimately, making decisions about how they will die. As Cynthia found out, the process can be a complex one.
Because her mother was a patient in the New England Sinai Hospital, the social work department there matched her up with a home. "It was clean and the care was good," Cynthia recalled, "but my mother wouldn't eat the food there. There was no Jewish-style cooking, nothing she was used to. That's when I realized I had to arrange for her to be admitted to the Hebrew Rehab Center in Boston."
Tough decisions
Adjusting to nursing home life was not easy for mother or daughter. Frances lived in a double room and complained that her first roommate was downright nasty to her. Occasionally, a lost male resident wandered into her room to use her bathroom.
"My mother was miserable at first," Cynthia said. "But she had a wonderful nursing assistant. She literally brought my mother back to life. She made such a difference in her mental stability. And, frankly, in mine."
But that wasn't the end of the decisions Cynthia would make about her mother's care. When Frances arrived at Hebrew Rehab, the facility social worker asked her choose a health-care proxy the person doctors would turn to for help in making difficult medical decisions if Frances were unable to make her own. She readily selected her daughter.
Cynthia's decision-making abilities were put to the test early on in her mother's stay. The nursing home physician asked Cynthia whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be attempted if her mother's heart stopped and she was not breathing. "We had talked about what my mother would want in terms of medical care if she got sick again. Whenever a friend developed a problem and had an operation or a procedure, I would ask my mother, 'Would you want that if you were in her shoes?' Mom told me that she wouldn't want me to keep her alive with machines. So I knew what she wanted."
Many family members don't find this decision an easy one, even though, according to a 1989 study by Don Murphy and colleagues in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the odds of a nursing home patient surviving a cardiac arrest are less than 3 percent. And the rare elderly survivor, reports a 1996 article in the Archives of Internal Medicine, often can no longer dress or walk independently.
Back in 1998, Cynthia thought any medical intervention short of CPR would make sense for her mother. She hoped Frances ultimately would regain her strength and emotional well-being. Her goals for her mother were simple: To keep her going and to help her remain as independent as possible.
Then Frances did what one of about every 300,000 people over the age of 65 do each year she broke her hip.
She was rushed to the hospital for surgery. During her mother's brief hospital stay, Cynthia discovered even first-class hospitals often are not the best place for elderly nursing home patients.
"The hospital stay was horrible, really horrible," she recalled. "It was the weekend and the nursing staff was minimal. My mother was in pain. Everyone was in and out and no one seemed to care. No one knew her. Then she 'sundowned' she became so confused every evening. She refused to eat. She was incontinent in the bed. I came and found her in soiled sheets and she looked at me and said, 'Where were you?' It broke my heart."
Cynthia decided then and there to avoid hospital care for her mother in the future if at all possible.
"I called the doctor and told him it was time to concentrate on comfort. He said he could write a 'do not hospitalize' order. Mom would still get medicines like antibiotics and fluid pills if she needed them. But if she got sick, she would be treated in the nursing home, in her own bed, with nurses who knew her."
Achieving comfort in the nursing home is not always easy. A 1997 report by the Institute of Medicine revealed between 40 percent and 80 percent of nursing home residents experience pain regularly, mostly because the staff may be reluctant to use narcotics to relieve suffering. Cynthia said she made sure to speak with the nursing home physician to get the message across that controlling her mother's symptoms especially her pain was her primary goal.
Good care to the end
Nursing homes are not always good places to die, though 24 percent of Americans over the age of 65 do just that, according to a 2000 report from the Rand Center to Improve Care of the Dying. Not only is pain control often inadequate, but doctors generally don't get involved in care. Some families draw on support from a hospice program, which often will send a nurse to make recommendations about symptom management and provide a personal attendant for several hours a day as the end draws near. Hospices typically offer counseling to families as well as to patients.
For Cynthia, the center's chaplain has been invaluable.
"I sit with Cynthia and her mother whenever I have the chance," says Hali Diecidue, who, together with a full-time rabbi, offers religious services, pastoral counseling, study groups and sing-alongs to the residents. "We don't feel we have to talk to Frances all the time. Often it's enough just to be with her."
Smaller and non-denominational homes do not have their own chaplains, but most have relationships with clergy who visit regularly. For many family members of nursing home residents, their own minister, priest or rabbi provide support.
Despite the decision to avoid hospitals and limit diagnostic tests, Frances Zaft is very much alive. She sits in her wheelchair, her white hair neatly coiffed, her clothes clean and attractive. She wears a beaded necklace, a gift from her grandson. Often she dozes. Periodically she looks through her large round glasses and asks, "Can I have corn on the cob today?"
Cynthia Cooper knows her mother is on the last leg of her journey through life and she wants to make whatever time her mother has left as comfortable and meaningful as possible. At this point, says Cynthia, "it's the little things that count. Mom is wearing navy blue slacks and navy blue shoes. She should be wearing matching socks. Touching matters those moments of physical contact.
"Treating my mother with respect counts," Cynthia says. "She may have trouble hearing and seeing. She may have difficulty following your line of thought even if she can hear you. But she's not 'honey' or 'dear.' She's a person with a family and a history. She's Frances Zaft."

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort Cabo San Lucas Reviews

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort Cabo San Lucas Aug 24, 2011
This hotel is located away of most hotels concentration and situated along Sea of Cortez. This resort is nicely spread and designed like a very old Mexican little village across a fifty acre area with a lovely view in front of sea. The place is perfect to stay away of noise and having a relaxing time but there is another particularity no children accepted so for families is not a choice.
The hotel in general is really nice beautifully decorated with lot Mexican paintings and old decoration. It offers all facilities and amenities everyone can need. Staff is bilingual and friendly but because the hotel is really big, once you are there you need to take these little cars similar to those that are seem in golf tournaments as a means of transportation which means you need to ask for that everytime you are going to most areas of the hotel which turns out to be sometimes not really convenient specially if you need to go quick from one part to another one.
Rooms are very comfortable, clean, quiet with wireless included, etc and they offer a great view of the ocean. In the one we were there was a kitchen with fridge and all you need to cook, a jacuzzi area, a dinner table with a tv room and a big couch that worked out for two more people sleeping there. It was also the principal room with two double beds and one couch as well that could become as another extra bed too.
Walking around the beach was a very good idea but little disappointment when you are told not available to swin or to get wet on the beach because in fact is a dangerous sea area and waves are usually high and with unpredictable changes so staff that take care of that area politely invite all the guests to stay away of water and persuade instead of it to go swimming and to the beach to any other of their Pueblo bonito resorts destinations in the area of Los Cabos (they have two more) without any extra charge and with free transportation between the 3 resorts leaving and coming at certain daily schedules from lobby of hotel.
The pools area is probably one of the most great attractions of this complex there are several pools located in different levels of this complex but the most visited is at top of hotel known as sky pool with a huge jacuzzi hot area and amazing view that is generally working all day or 24 hours. So in the night is a nice experience to go swimming in the peace of the place and take a look from there.
Prices of accomodation, food, and other facilities like sport gym is expensive and all is rated basically in dollars, but this is not surprising just as most places and tourism issues around Los Cabos area are. Anyway, the hotel was a very good place to have all you need to relax and stay away of noise.

A semester in Melbourne
- |
For Sang-Hee Min, a junior at Wellesley College majoring in neuroscience with a minor in music, spending a semester at the University of Melbourne was a natural choice. Melbourne is the "cultural center of Australia'' and the school is "one of the most prestigious'' research universities in the country. When she's not studying psychology, chemistry, and Australian studies, she's visiting (and occasionally eating) kangaroos and exploring the rest of the country, including scuba diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef.
CITY LIVING: "Most students don't live on campus. There are several residential colleges, but the majority of Melbourne Uni students are from the area, so they commute (up to several hours) to school every day. I was housed in an apartment called UniLodge [campus housing] downtown, so it was great to experience living in the heart of a big city - and a huge contrast from the quiet town of Wellesley.''
ALL TASTES: "Because Melbourne is so multicultural, all types of food are available - particularly Asian foods. Cheap sushi is abundant, and the seafood is fantastic; Australia is, after all, an island. Kangaroo, crocodile, and emu meat is available in steak, burger, pizza, and jerky forms. The kangaroo steak is delicious. It doesn't taste particularly different than beef, actually.''
AUSSIE SLANG: "Aussies often greet each other with 'How you going, mate?' which means 'How are you?' The first time I heard this, I replied, 'How am I going . . . where?' to much laughter on their part. 'Ta' means thank you, and I kept saying, 'Sorry?' because I didn't understand.''
WEIGHTY MATTERS: "Australians in general seem to be much more relaxed about academics. This is not to say that they don't take it seriously, but lots of students go out regularly on weeknights as well as weekends. There is much less work than at Wellesley. Each piece of assessment is therefore worth much more. My chemistry exam is worth 75 percent of my grade.''
GETTING AROUND: "During our two-week spring break, my friends and I traveled up the east coast of Australia, from Melbourne to Sydney to Gold Coast to Whitsundays to Cairns. Our trip consisted of lots of tourist activities in Sydney, tanning at Surfer's Paradise beach in Gold Coast (where we got caught in a huge dust storm), scuba diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef as well as seeing Whitehaven Beach, the most pristine beach I have ever seen, at Whitsundays, and more tanning and shopping at the night markets in Cairns. We had an 18-hour train ride from Gold Coast to Whitsundays, and another 12-hour ride from Whitsundays to Cairns.''
CLUB SCENE: "There is something for everyone to do in Melbourne. Going out in groups to pubs and to university events is a great way to meet new people. There is a lounge-club called Bass that recently opened; it has two rooms that play different types of music (house-electronic in one, and hip-hop in the other), as well as two bars. The clubs here play a lot of house and techno music, following the European trend. I was never a big fan of house music, but it's growing on me.''

Looking to take your master bath to the next level of luxury? Want to know how to transform your dull bathroom into a peaceful oasis? Below, we list a few ways to take your bathroom from drab to fab.
- Install a Steam Shower- This might sound like a big project, but you'd be surprised at how much of a transformation your bathroom will go through if you rip out your old, dated shower stall and install a new, luxurious shower enclosure complete with your favorite tile and of course the added luxury of a steam shower generator. Visit www.ThermaSol.com for more information and for all your steam shower needs.
- Update your Fixtures – Just updating your showerhead and faucet can take your bathroom from a 5 or a 6 to a 9 or a 10. Choose whatever fixtures fit your style from contemporary to traditional to Old English Country. If you really want to take your bath to the next level you can even invest in a faucet complete with Lalique Cristal as seen in the Lalique Collection by THG: View Lalique Collection Here. Be forewarned, however, as these faucets can cost as much as $15,000 a piece (no one said luxury was cheap!)
- Install a Sauna – As with a steam shower, installing a sauna may be a major project depending on what you're looking for, but just imagine having your own indoor sauna. Those with a good amount of square footage can build their sauna into the bathroom itself or they can install a modular sauna room. Below are some ThermaSol saunas. Find more information about installing a new sauna on their website www.ThermaSol.com
- Replace your Toilet – It may sound silly to think that something as simple as a new toilet could make your bathroom feel more luxurious, but it can. The great thing about new toilets is that they are much more water efficient and eco-friendly than older models. The Caroma dual flush toilet (pictured below) saves the average U.S. household about 25 gallons of water per day. The Brisbane toilet is also pictured below: www.CaromaUSA.com
- Add a Bidet – Although the bidet is not a common thing to see in an American bathroom, just the fact that you have one will bring your bathroom up a notch in the luxury department. The ILBAGNOALESSI One Bidet by Laufen is guaranteed to bring a new sense of style to your bathroom.
- Use Decorative Hardware – Consider purchasing decorative accessories in a fun new finish like oil-rubbed bronze or antique copper. A stylized soap dispenser, cabinet pull, towel rack, robe hook, and even a toilet flush lever can make a big difference.
