In my home town of Chelsea, Easter week was huge. Especially when you were seven years old. Chelsea was a town of about 385 people except during holidays, summer vacations and spring breaks. The population rose to around 415 or so depending on how many relatives would be visiting at that time. Easter was no exception. Now, Chelsea had two religions, the Catholics and the Methodists. It was that simple. Now for sure, there were some who were of neither faith and drove perhaps to another town for church and there were a few who did not claim any religious affiliation. Very few though!
Our second grade class at St. Joseph's School had just received our First Communion and (gulp) Confession a month earlier or so. I gotta tell you, going to Confession for the first time is scary! Hmm, just exactly how many times did I say those naughty words? Boy, sure hope the Priest don't ask Mom how many times I didn't do as I was told. He wouldn't check up on me, would he? Maybe he can't tell who I am. Hey, I know what....I'll disguise my voice. Ya, First Communion was a breeze, but that first Confession was something.
The week leading up to Easter is called Holy Week, and it was truly observed in Chelsea. We had the grocery story and on Good Friday, we closed from Noon until 3:00 p.m. Just like every other store in town. Why? Well, two reasons, I guess. One, it was the hours Jesus hung on the cross and two, everyone was in Church for the Good Friday service. I never knew what those without any denominational affiliation did during these three hours. At St. Joseph's Church, it was a holy and somber service. To be honest, I really enjoyed it, however I'd never admit that to any of my friends. Church was supposed to always be boring, right? At least to a 7 year old kid. I don't think my older sister and brothers were too excited about it either.

Our Church had dark purple cloths covering all the statues in the church and that was a lot of purple cloths. It was kinda eerie, yet though-provoking. There was no singing, (which was good). I never did handle those Gregorian Chants too well and of course the male segment of the Congregation wasn't expected to sing anyway. That was exclusively for the Choir and/or the women. Men were exempt.
I don't remember everything about Good Friday service, except that several Priests were present and they read the entire passage of the Passion. It seemed to take forever. Then, our Priest brought in a huge statue of the Crucifix, and leaned it up against the altar at the front of the Church and everyone in attendance slowly came forward, genuflected in front of it and then we each kissed the feet of Jesus. Yea, kissed His feet. And guess what? There was no towel to wipe off each other's kisses. That was long before germs of any kind were discovered. Besides, would God let someone get sick for doing such a noble act? I think not!
After 3 PM, all the stores opened back up and everything returned to normal. Us kids couldn't wait to get to the ice cream shop to get some ice cream. We couldn't eat candy of any kind because our parents all had made us give up candy, chocolate and things of that nature for Lent. But after three hours in Church, they let us enjoy some ice cream!!
After Good Friday came Holy Saturday. This day was sort of a break between the long service the day before and the big service the next day. Easter. A "High Mass" for sure. Anyone remember the High Mass? The entire Mass was sung. Everything except the homily. I think the Methodists called the message "The Sermon," but we called it the "Homily." I had no idea what it meant at the time but those twelve minutes the Priest spoke were the longest minutes ever....to a seven year old, at least.
Easter Sunday was great. New outfits. New shoes, socks and even underwear!! To celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I wasn't much in to all this way back then but I am truly glad my parents made sure I was involved in it all. I still get shivers as we head into Holy Week. Good Friday always gives me goose bumps. From Noon until 3 p.m., I still feel a spiritual presence. I really do. And I just love Easter. The greatest day in the life of any Christian, don't you think? So from our family to yours.....HAPPY EASTER.
Be so blest this week and let me know what you were doing for Easter when YOU were seven years old at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 319-334-4117. Love to compare notes with you.


text: So after hour and hours of searching(several weeks lol) i have become so overwhelmed with the abundance of information and also the lack there of. SO basically ill start with what i want. A super simple small portable vapor pen that i can pull of my jar of bho take a dab or so put it somewhere relativly easily smoke it and be on my way. I would like to use an ego style battery(probably the twist for its variable voltage) because of its price and how easy they are to find. The cartridge/atomizer is whats got me tripped up a bit. As i said ive done a copious ammount of research on this and i can seem to zero in on what would work best for me. I believe my requirments would be: - Cheap - Reliable - Cleanable - 510 thread - Doesnt require full filling or e juice - Easy to load without waste So from that i figure that these are my options: Vapor Globe (too big not really what im looking for) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glass-Globe...369?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd499ca61 Vhit/Seego (not really sure about these read mized reviews) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Wax-At...313?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a83aec1b1 Kanger 510 (horizontal coil im guessing but ive heard these are very unreliable) https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/...RyI83TmVc4pRrXYN-wEVCsyX0XpsQvR0vx1_40EP-LnOA So i guess what i need to know is what is going to work best for me theyre are lots of options out there. Im leaning more towards a modded 510 atomizer (brand im not to sure of) just because they are cheap and simple but once again im really not sure. SO FC USERS! In your professional opinions what would work best for me im open to any and all suggestions thanks!!!!

Then every night, as you lovingly stare at your baby sleeping, you and that proud new dad turn to each other and share one thought.
We don't know what we're doing. And we're pretty sure we're doing it wrong.
Forget labor; the breastfeeding debate alone is enough to rattle you. Then there are car seat questions, diaper dilemmas, and an entire aisle of cribs and strollers that are either perfect or absolutely horrible depending on which of 42 different opinions you listen to.
It's all enough to make you want to hit the bottle (if only you could).
What you need is an expert, other than your mom or mother-in-law, to cut through the clutter with a real list of what you need to know.
Move your bootie over to Baby Gaga, a series of free workshops to answer parents' cries for help. Every Saturday, a different professional will tackle key topics. What do most people forget to babyproof? Professionally-trained baby safety expert Gwen Trowbridge knows, and adds why it's even dangerous to leave your safety latches on once your little one's not so little any more. Lactation consultant Patty Anes answers the questions you feel too awkward to ask others. And Baby Emporium's Tom Kim talks about the baby gear you really need, as well as the common mistakes you might make when installing that car seat.
The free workshops last an hour.
Just long enough to pick up a few coos and don'ts to help you sleep like a baby.
Baby Gaga workshops are held every Saturday in March, 5:30 p.m. at the Baby Emporium, 614 Cooke Street. Reservations are required. E-mail email@example.com with which workshop you prefer, phone number and the names of those attending.

Some South Dakota Agencies Seek Payment for Search Costs
MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - Some law enforcement agencies involved in the search for a prisoner who walked away from a transport van in southeastern South Dakota and disappeared are billing the transport company.
Others tell The Daily Republic newspaper that they won't bill Arkansas-based Inmate Services Corp. because they were just doing their job.
Oscar Antonio Herrera-Menjivar is still at large after his escape in July. Authorities say he escaped when the van's driver stopped at a convenience store and the secondary guard fell asleep.
Herrera-Menjivar was being transported from Florida to Nebraska to face an allegation that he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl he met on Facebook.

Ecological Economics (Certificate of Graduate Study)
Ecological Economics is a transdisciplinary field that examines the relationships between ecological and economic systems while working to solve humanity's current environmental challenges. It is based on the understanding that the economy is a subsystem of a larger ecological life support system, and it strives to create an ecologically sustainable, socially equitable, and economically efficient future. The certificate is a problem-based, interdisciplinary program focused on developing a practical framework for integrating economic and ecological systems. Students will acquire a theoretical and pragmatic basis to carry these skills into the world of practice.
Specific Requirements
Students may earn the certificate either in conjunction with a UVM master's or doctoral degree, or independent of a degree.
The Certificate of Graduate Study in Ecological Economics requires fifteen credits, including three core courses and two approved electives, one in each of two different competency areas. Students must demonstrate competency in four areas: Natural Science, Social Science, Management, and Quantitative Methods. Two of the competencies (six credits) are taken as electives through certificate course work at UVM. The remaining two competencies are typically demonstrated as prerequisites prior to enrolling in the certificate by appropriate graduate course work at UVM or elsewhere, or by life experience. If prerequisites are not met prior to application, a student may be provisionally admitted with the understanding that the prerequisite(s) be taken at UVM prior to completion of the certificate.
The Certificate of Graduate Study in Ecological Economics requires fifteen graduate credits that must be taken at UVM and are distributed as follows*:
- Three core courses (nine credits total)
- Elective courses that meet the competencies include but are not limited to:
- Natural Science
- Social Science
- Management
- Quantitative Methods
* These credits may be earned either in conjunction with or independent of a UVM graduate degree program.
More information on the Certificate is available from the Gund Institute website.

[Zoo] animals do not escape to somewhere but from something. Something within their territory has frightened them ... and set off a flight reaction. The animal flees, or tries to. I was surprised to read at the Toronto Zoo ... that leopards can jump up to eighteen feet straight up. Our leopard enclosure in Pondicherry was sixteen feet high at the back. I surmise that Rosie and Copycat never jumped out was not because of constitutional weekness but simply because they had no reason to. Animals that escape go from the known to the unknown--and if there is one thing an animal hates above all else, it is the unknown.
Consider then the 300-pound gorilla who escaped from his enclosure last week, "snatching up a toddler with his teeth and attacking three other people before being shot by officers," as CNN.com reports:
How the 13-year-old gorilla exactly broke out was unclear. Some youths had reportedly teased Jabari shortly before he escaped, but it was not known if that was a factor in the breakout.
Zoo director Rich Buickerood said the gorilla "had to have scaled" the enclosure's 15-foot concave wall. But some experts doubt that could have happened.
"Virtually anybody who's worked with great apes has not been able to compute anyway that a gorilla could get up a 15-foot wall," Wharton said....
Police ... are investigating, but they said officers were forced to shoot the charging gorilla after it came within 15 feet of them.
"We did not go out there looking to kill an animal," said Senior Cpl. Chris Gilliam, a Dallas police spokesman. "We went out there in response to a situation where three people had already been injured."
Would they have been forced to shoot to kill an unarmed 300-pound man who "charged" at them? Assume a man known to be incapable of understanding language and not morally responsible for the violence he had committed. Don't the police know how to wrestle down a man that size and handcuff him?
UPDATE: Several people have written to point out that it is harder to wrestle a gorilla down than a man of the same weight. I concede that is probably true with respect to most gorillas and most men. But if you reread what I wrote, I never said Jabari was wronged because they didn't use the identical method that would have been used on a man. I'm objecting to the extreme shoot-to-kill reaction and the way we instinctively think they were justified because the gorilla was only an animal. There is a middle range there, between what we think needs to be done when the charging entity is human and what we think is just fine when it is nonhuman. At the very least they could have shot him in the leg or the shoulder. I think, with a sufficient number of police, he could have been physically restrained without shooting him. Don't they have tranquilizer darts at the zoo? If we are going to have zoos to please ourselves, don't we owe something to the animals? Jabari was taunted, rocks were thrown at him (probably to get him to put on a show of ferocity). It seems to me that, under the circumstances, he deserved a lot better than he got.

Andre Villas-Boas says he is so delighted with Tottenham's win over Southampton yesterday that he will pay for the shirts his players gave to the travelling supporters after the game at St. Mary's.
Spurs made their way into the top four for the first time this season with a hard-fought win over Southampton, with goals from Gareth Bale and Clint Dempsey ensuring they ended a two game winless streak.
The north London club held off a second half charge by the home side to secure the win, with some Spurs players thanking the travelling support by throwing their match shirts in to the crowd.
Villas-Boas said afterwards that he didn't mind his players showing their appreciation to the club's fans, and joked he would pay for them out of his own pocket.
"I told them I would pay for the shirts! It was important for the fans and a massive win for the players," he said after the game.
"It's such a good win. We want to be at the top, we want to make the best of fixtures at Southampton and Wigan before we play Man City and Arsenal.
"If we carry on showing this level of competence we can really push on."
The Portuguese boss also expressed his delight at Bale's scoring return to the Spurs team against his former club having missed the games against Chelsea and Maribor.
"I'm extremely happy for Gareth. He's a massive player for us and when the small opportunities come he makes the difference."
The Welshman himself said he was happy to have helped Spurs win upon his return, but was keen not to disrespect his former club.
It was a bit emotional scoring but the main theme was to come here and do a job. My celebration was muted out of respect for Southampton."

Destiny DeHart: Drawn to art therapy
Destiny DeHart wants to combine her love of art and helping people into a career of art therapy. At White Oak High School in Jacksonville she was a member of the National Honor Society, served as National Art Society president, and participated in the marching band.
At East Carolina University, Destiny plans to double major in psychology and art. She attended 2010 Governors School West for art and has been recognized with several awards, including an All County Art award last year.
DeHart will be one of 15 incoming freshmen entering the university in August as EC Scholars — the most prestigious academic scholarship program the university offers.
Because of her school's connection to ECU, DeHart already knew about the School of Art & Design's offerings before she applied for admission. "My art program takes a field trip there every semester," she said. "So I've been going to ECU for all four years of high school, a lot of my family has gone to ECU, and several of my school staff went to ECU."
"The reason I wanted to go to ECU is the art program," she said. "I like art therapy because of the impact that it can have on an entire community like in Philadelphia there's a mural project. By getting the community involved in a mural, you can get them to feel better about that community and connect them."
She added it's a way to work with youth in need, as well. "Children are more likely to talk about their feelings through art," she said.
DeHart said she is ready to jump into the existing community art programs at ECU, such as painting murals on old buildings. "Getting involved in that will be fantastic," she said.
But she doesn't plan to spend every semester in Greenville.
"As an EC Scholar, I get to travel abroad for a semester or summer. Getting to go somewhere and have an impact on that culture or them have an impact on me is exciting," she said.
DeHart has already traveled a great deal, including trips to Spain, Morocco, Germany, France, England and Scotland (twice).
"My family used to be in the military, so we had that travel mentality," she said. "My father did contract work for the military overseas so we traveled to see him, and then my aunt took me on a trip. We just like to travel and have that experience."
And her favorite trip so far? "It's hard to choose just one. The cultures were so different and great in different ways. I liked Scotland a lot because I don't have a language barrier there and how proud the people were of their culture and their castles. I would really like to visit Mexico and see more of Spain," she said.
Her parents are Suellen Greer of Jacksonville and David DeHart of Jacksonville, Fla.
About EC Scholars
EC Scholars exhibit outstanding academic performance and effective leadership skills. They have opportunities to contribute to faculty-led research studies, engagement in the community andmultiple service activities.
The amount awarded to scholarship recipients is $40,000 ($5,000 per semester for eight continuous semesters). In addition, EC Scholars are provided with a $5,000 stipend to help support their required study abroad experience.
The entering Class of 2015 EC Scholar recipients have completed a rigorous three-tier selection process that includes: meeting the Honors College admissions criteria, having an additional faculty review and completing an on-campus interview. The incoming EC Scholar recipients have an average math/verbal SAT score of 1307 and an average unweighted GPA of 3.89.

Whitko locks up outright TRC title over Valley 21-14
AKRON — Whitko continued its shock and awe for the season on Friday night clinching its first solo Three Rivers Conference title in the last 20 years.
In a close battle against TRC powerhouse Tippicanoe Valley, the Wildcats carried the honor of Coach Wayne Swender's Indianapolis Colts Coach of the Week award to a 21-14 victory.
After the game, as the players chanted, "Coach of the Week," Swender broke into the huddle interrupting his team, "No, no, no, it's team of the week!"
Friday night's win was a team effort, 60 tackles were shared between 14 defensive players.
"The defense did a tremendous job tonight," Swender said.
Though there aren't statistics to show it, the offensive and defensive linemen played a big role in the games leading to the conference title.
"It goes back to our offensive and defensive lines. They don't get their names in the paper, but they're the ones battling in the trenches," Swender said.
The Wildcats carried all their momentum from last week's overtime game into the first quarter against the Vikings, jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead following touchdowns from Harmon and quarterback Alex Stoddard. They also shut down all offense for Tippy Valley, causing two consecutive three-and-out drives.
The Vikings stole momentum at the end of the second quarter, picking up two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the half.
"The first quarter we just went right at it; the second quarter they got a little more intense," Swender said.
In the Wildcats game last week against Rochester, it was DJ Fouce who dominated the running game, but Friday night's game was all about running back Dakota Harmon.
"We've got good backs back there. Last week DJ had a really good game and that opened it up for Dakota this week," Swender said.
Harmon picked up 146 of Whitko's 195 rushing yards. On the defensive end, Harmon had five tackles and one sack.
There was no scoring in the third quarter with five punts shared between each team to end the quarter.
The game was tied 14-14 going into the final 12 minutes of play and the Wildcats weren't going to allow for another overtime game.
With 9:25 to go, the Harmon-Fouce duo marched the Wildcats 44 yards up the field and into the end zone.
Whitko carried its momentum through the final minutes of the game, sealing their TRC title and perfect conference record.
"I love my linemen," Harmon shouted.
Friday night's win raises Whitko's winning streak to seven putting its record at 8-1.
"We havent talked aobut the win streak, we just talk about one game at a time," Swender said.
Next week kicks off sectionals, with Whitko hitting the road to play Bremen.
"Now we've got to prepare for a very good Bremen team," Swender said.
Early in the season, Tippy Valley played Bremen, losing by five.

Los Angeles Schools Ignore Anti-Bullying Mandate
The deadline for California schools to implement the state's new anti-bullying legislation came and went on July 1, but some Los Angeles schools have yet to comply with it. The bill came about following a federal investigation that determined that school administrators had been ignoring incidents of bullying -- the very thing the legislation seeks to end.
"What we have seen is that the school staff is not intervening, which is why the passing of this law was so important," said Jason Navarro, the chair for the Los Angeles chapter of the New York-based support organization GLSEN (Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network).
AB 9 (Seth's Law) was signed into California law last October by Gov. Jerry Brown to update regulations on protection of California school students from harassment and bullying. Yet it appears to be having a slow road to enforcement in several of the Long Beach-area school districts.
According to reports in The Huffington Post and the Long Beach Press-Telegram, although the July 1 deadline for schools to comply with the new law has passed, spokespersons from Downey, Paramount, and Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School Districts claimed to have never received notifications of the new law, and Bellflower Unified School District's superintendent declined to comment. Long Beach Unified School District reportedly put the new requirements in place on July 3.
"Failing to comply with AB 9 is unacceptable. This is an important issue and schools need to understand their obligations and responsibilities," said Stephanie Pappas, a health education consultant for schools with the California Department of Education, who expressed skepticism that districts were unaware of the mandate, stating that notices had been distributed.
Navarro, who said he has a very personal connection to the bill, spoke to EDGE about his organization's view of the new law, its implementation difficulties and the role GLSEN played in pinpointing the need for it.
"Because I'm also a high school teacher, I have a personal buy-in to these concerns," said Navarro. "Also, when I was a student, my interactions with the educational system were difficult, and I dropped out when I was a senior. That was partly due to an unsupportive school staff, where there was no LGBT visibility. That's why me and my organization are very much in favor of what Assembly Bill 9 can do."
Navarro pointed out that anti-gay policies in the school are not new in California, but the important thing about AB 9 is that it requires school personnel to actively intervene when they witness bullying. The aims of the bill are closely allied with the results of GLSEN's recently released 2011 School Climate Survey, which focuses on the experiences of LGBT high-school students across the nation.
That survey revealed that 81.9 percent of the LGBT students queried reported being verbally harassed at school, and 18.3 percent were physically harassed because of their sexual orientation. In addition, 6 in 10 students said they felt unsafe because of their sexual orientation and 4 in 10 felt unsafe because of their gender expression.
"These numbers and the reasons behind them that require school personnel to intervene is that 60 percent of LGBT students who were harassed, physically or verbally, never reported it to school staff," said Navarro. "We also found that of 36.7 percent who say they were harassed and did report it, the school staff did nothing in response."
Navarro noted that a separate California-specific version of GLSEN's bi-annual Climate Survey is currently in progress. He also stressed that beyond attempting to protect victims of harassment and bullying, Seth's Law holds the adults accountable and requires prominent posting of the policies at several places on the school campus. But he was not surprised that compliance with the new law was behind schedule.
"I think one of the problems is that the L.A. Unified School District is so large that any new policy takes a lot of effort and manpower," he said. "This law goes a lot further than previous regulations. It not only requires staff members to intervene, but also to post the policy -- I believe in student government meetings, staff lounges and in the offices. There are several locations on campus where this is required. Beyond that, the schools must post lists of resources to support victims of bullying."
In November, the state plans to launch a nine-month audit of all public schools to verify compliance will the new law. The anti-discriminatory law addresses enhanced student protections of their rights, including matters of actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender, disability and religion. The school districts must also notify students and parents of their rights and how to advocate for them.
Will the new law be effective in the long run? Navarro said he believed the aims of the bill will be fulfilled, though it will take time and energy.
"There definitely will be bumps in the road," said Navarro. "We saw that with the Fair Education Act. Yet we see in schools that have supportive staffs that all students -- not only GLBT students -- benefit from the anti-bullying and harassment laws. They have higher academic achievement, and better emotional and psychological well-being. This bill concerns itself with every instance of bullying. We are dealing here with one of the largest school districts in the nation, so the benefits that can come out of this work will be very valuable. California has been very supportive of LGBT issues, and other states will look to L.A. as model."

Brecht BMW Tells Customer "Go Back To Volkswagon, You Don't Deserve To Own A BMW"
Poor Raquel. She only wanted to return her leased BMW. Following instructions to bring her car to any authorized dealership, she arrived at Brecht BMW in San Diego. Brecht's manager refused to accept the car, a decision he conveyed by screaming in front of her kids, threatening to call the police, and telling her to "go back to Volkswagon" because she didn't "deserve to own a BMW." Raquel writes:
On July 19th, 2007 I drove my leased BMW in Escondido, Ca. (Brecht BMW). I was told by Chase (the lender) to take the car back to any dealership. That I should take a photo of the car in front of the dealership I am leaving it with and have the dealership verify the odometer reading, leave the keys with them and I would be done. If I did not turn the car into a dealership by the 19th, then I would be financially penalized.
I walked into Brecht BMW and the first sales person I met asked me if he could help me. I said yes I am here to turn in my lease. He asked if I had bought my car from them. I said no, I bought it from Irvine, but I was told by Chase that I could take it anywhere. He said no he couldn't help me b/c Chase was closed and he needed the buyout amount. I said no, they told me that he wouldn't need to do that b/c they aren't buying the car. He then told me that he wouldn't help me. I told him I would be penalized if I didnt' turn it in today and that it was a fast transaction. I also told him that I lived 45 miles away and have little ones (who were with me) and it was hard for me to get down that way. He said he would talk to the manager. After a couple of minutes he came back and said no again, they couldn't help me but could if I came back the next day. I again explained that I worked and lived 45 miles away. I asked why they couldn't do it now — telling them that I am sure they would be able to help me if I was buying a car.
Next the manager came out and said, you need to leave or I am going to call the police. I asked for his name. He took out his business card and threw it at me. I said, I don't understand why they are unwillinig to help me. I then started to explain all the problems I had had with the car over the 4 years. Based on my miles my car should have been in for maintenace 2 times — it was in about 10 times. Each time was 3 hours round trip of my time and gas for the extra diving. I was starting to tear up and he smiled. I told him that I was doing everything I was told to do and that they could provide me customer service, but were choosing not too. I said, I don't understand why they won't just sign the odomoter form. I said that I had better treatment from VW when I owned my BMW. He told me to go back to VW, because 'I don't deserve to own a BMW.' He again said to leave or he was going to call the police. By this time my children were in tears because he was yelling at me and threatening me. We left without them ever assisting us.
The next day My brother spoke to the GM and explained the story. He never apologized and still refused to help us with the lease return. We also called BMW of north america. The rep on the phone said that they are a franchise and that corporate has no control over them. He said he would note it down, but 'don't expect a call back.' Basically, corporate doesn't care about customers being mistreated.
My brother took my car across the street from Brecht to Mercedes dealership. Who took the car, filled out the odometer form and took the keys. My brother was out the door in 5 minutes. Why did BMW refuse to help me with their own product??? I still to this day have not received any explanation. The only thing I can think of is that they were not going to make any money off of me that night so they didn't want to help. Why is there no one in the entire corporation that cares about customer service. I have emailed my story to BMW North America, BMW WorldWide, and Brecht BMW — no attempt has been made to contact me or correct the abusive treatment I received.
Still to this day, the home page of Brecht BMW reads 'we are an authorized lease return facility'…………….

What does victory look like for the pro-life movement?
For all who believe overturning Roe v. Wade is the magic solution to ending abortion in the United States, it is worth reading this article in the Christian Science Monitor on the state of abortion in Poland. While the predominantly Catholic country has strict laws against abortion, the practice is still quite common on the black market.
The CSM references the testimony of one woman in a 2009 documentary:
"'I found some phone numbers in the newspaper; I called around,' explains a young blonde woman named Jola. The doctors are listed anonymously in the classifieds section offering to 'induce menstruation' or provide 'full service.' Everybody understands. 'You cannot use the words 'abortion' or 'termination'; rather, 'I am pregnant – can you help me?' Something like that,' she says."
Obviously there are no records on how many abortions are performed illegally in Poland, and there is a fierce debate over how widespread the problem is. One estimate puts the number somewhere between 80,000 and 200,000 per year. Safety is of course a concern too, but the article reports that newly proposed legislation to legalize abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is still likely to fail.
Were the pro-life movement in the United States to win its battle to overturn Roe, would the same thing happen here? Making abortion illegal wouldn't change much for women in crisis pregnancies who see no other way out, and doctors here would likely be just as willing to capitalize on the demand for abortion as those in Poland. The problem wouldn't go away, it would just be redefined.
As we reported in our January issue, many in the pro-life movement are already looking at other ways to regulate abortion, though overturning Roe is still seen as the ultimate goal. But as pro-life Catholics like Catholic University professor Stephen Schneck have argued, it is also important to look at issues that impact a woman's decision to have an abortion, such as poverty, affordable health care, and access to supplemental assistance programs like WIC. An in-depth, independent study of the reasoning that leads women to choose an abortion would likely yield many other concerns that might be solvable, but not by simply outlawing abortion.
Limiting or ending access to abortion would be a major step in the direction of protecting the lives of the unborn. But on its own it would be a hollow victory without a major effort to understand and address the reasons why women would choose to end their pregnancies in the first place.

This year's draft has been widely termed as one of the deepest in recent memory, though depth isn't prevalent with every position.
This year's running back class is, at least currently, a notable exception. The position's top prospects have remained something of a mystery, with little separating the leading backs. A general consensus among draft experts has the first round going without a single back chosen. There are, however, quality backs slated for the second and third rounds, and could provide a team in need at the position with a relative bargain.
Though determining a front-runner at this juncture becomes difficult, heading this year's class is a group that includes Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey, Ohio State's Carlos Hyde and Auburn's Tre Mason, among others.
Serving as the Wildcats' feature back, Carey rushed for 1,885 yards and 19 touchdowns last year, despite missing the first game of the year due to suspension. Carey posted a gaudy 5.4 yards per carry for Arizona, despite being dealt a heavy workload, one that saw him receive 48 carries in a four-touchdown game against Oregon.
At six feet and 242 pounds, Hyde enters this draft as perhaps the premier power back of the group. He averaged 7.3 yards per carry for the Buckeyes in 2013, en route to a 1,521-yard season and 15 touchdown runs.
Mason, who said he met with the Rams at the NFL Combine last week, represents a possible change-of-pace option to second-year tailback
While viewed as potentially a tertiary option among running backs, Mason believes his career with Auburn, which included eclipsing Bo Jackson's school record for single-season rushing yardage, should elevate him among the position's elite.
"I feel like I'm the best running back in this draft class because I broke Bo Jackson's rushing record in the season," Mason said while speaking at the Combine. "If he was considered one of the best to do it and I broke his, then I feel like I should be the No. 1 running back in this draft."
Mason then followed up his assessment by running a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at the Combine, which ranked 12th-best out of 36 backs.
The Rams have already stated their confidence in Zac Stacy as the Rams' lead back moving forward, though how the depth chart shapes up behind Stacy could be a bit less certain.
They currently enter the offseason with four backs on their roster, with Bennie Cunningham,
"Competition affects things, but what's nice about Isaiah is, he's a competitor, he has a fire. He became one of our better special teamers. Earlier in his career, he didn't really want to play (special teams) and really never has played, but he really wanted to get on the field and I think that element of it, you can expect some nice things going forward for him and we'll try to continue evolving the role."
Should the Rams add one more name to the mix in the middle rounds of this year's draft, it's a role that could see further evolution moving forward.

Everton came from behind to beat Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park and leave the hosts just two points above the Premier League relegation zone.
The Magpies got off to the perfect start as Papiss Cisse looped a header over Tim Howard, but Leighton Baines hit back just before the break with a superbly-struck free kick from 30 yards.
Substitute Victor Anichebe snatched the points for the Toffees immediately after coming on in the second half, firing home with his first touch.
Demba Ba was absent from the hosts' side as he was in London to discuss terms with Chelsea over a prospective £7 million move and replaced by Shola Ameobi, while Marouane Fellaini's return from suspension was a boost for David Moyes.
The Magpies' top scorer was certainly not missed just two minutes in as Tim Krul's lofted free kick bounced over Ameobi into the path of Cisse, whose header drifted up and over Howard, but dropped just under the crossbar.
The Senegal No.9 just failed to get on the end of Ameobi's cross in a breathless opening six minutes, while Baines drew a great save out of Tim Krul with a well-hit free kick.
The Toffees grew in confidence as the half went on, Fellaini was only denied an equaliser by Davide Santon's brave block after slick work from Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar on the left.
James Perch's flicked header from Vurnon Anita's free kick hit the post, but Everton continued to press and Baines' superb pass in the left channel set Pienaar through on Krul's goal but the Dutchman closed the angles well and smothered his effort.
The Toffees were finally level just three minutes before the break as Baines lined up a free kick from 30 yards and opted for power over placement, launching his effort in the far corner and wrong-footing Krul.
The second half started in a much cagier fashion, but the hosts created the first real chance as Ameobi got on the end of Marveaux's lofted pass, but could only prod the ball past the post.
The hosts responded perfectly and took the lead for first time moments later. Fellaini plucked a long ball out the air before feeding Jelavic out wide, the Croatian squared for substitute Anichebe who slotted home with his first meaningful touch.
The hosts were looking out of sorts and Mike Williamson almost scored an own-goal, but his skewed clearance was tipped over by Krul.
Cisse moved into a central position as Alan Pardew went all out for the win, Santon burst forward and could only hit Howard with a one-on-one effort, although team-mates were better placed centrally and Sylvain marveaux's half-volley from the resulting corner was blocked away.
Everton remained resolute in the closing stages, however, and held out for a win that sees them leapfrog Arsenal in the table into fifth.

The problem is that CG still (typically) doesn't look as good as using scale models, puppets and costumes.
It's exactly the other way around. CGI looks too good. A real warship has some paint peeled off, there's some rust around, someone's coffee's been spilled on the gunner seat, there's dried muddy footprints going around the place and duct tape holding together some odd device, some doors make a screeching noise when they move no matter what you do...

I don't think you have to worry about that. Firstly, the use of CGI is being very carefully undertaken... nothing overboard, nothing excessive, and nothing "we're too lazy to do this right, so let's just CGI it".
Secondly, the CGI that is being used is FREAKISHLY top-rate. One of the ship models has 3x the polygons that the
One of my bigger complaints is the heavy handed use of digital effects. Considering this film's budget, I doubt that that will be a problem.

Many Bothans will die to bring us this information.
"I'm the only guy crazy enough to do this, because I'm not allowed to turn a profit. The film is for hardcore fans who miss the character development of the original trilogy."
I don't think this guy understands Star Wars at all...
And of course, Star Wars itself was not entriely a new idea [wikipedia.org], either.
One would hope that GL harkens back to his days as a struggling independent film-maker and gives the guy a pass. However, he is now cast in the role of studio exec and he may not be happy to hear of such a thing, especially where he receives no cut.
Always in motion is the future.
Did you even read the paragraph, let alone the article? Where do you think the condition of 'no-profit' came from?
It came straight from the mouth of a guy with no legal training, and apparently without enough money or sense to ask a competent lawyer.
I can't blame the guy though. He wants very badly to make a star wars film, and he's left with a terrible dilema. He can either spend money on a lawyer and almost certainly be told that his idea opens him to untold liability, or he can go ahead and make the f

I have been a big fan of Pink Five [trudang.com] for some time now. It's always been funny, but the production values have been getting significantly better as the story continues.
Although it is an apples-organges comparison, I find it interesting that fans with no budget can create movies that are more interesting and entertaining than George Lucas (Ep 1-) can with his billions!

any chance you could publish more scripts?
To answer my own question, "Commander Rob" has posted another of his scripts here:

The choice bit:
SHOT: Archer is packing a shuttle craft with technology.
Commander Rob: I can't let you do this Archer. The risk to the timeline is too great!
Archer: I have to, I can't let Earth be destroyed.
Archer reaches for his phaser in slowmotion. Rob reaches for his in slowmotion. Archers beam shoots wide of Rob, and Rob's beam
And 99% of Hollywood films suck. Coincidence?
Because I'm not quite sure yet: Are you in this movie?
It's not supposed to save anything. It's a fan-made film. For fans.
It isn't as if the original Star Wars was a multi-million dollar production. Lucas was able to get by with a rather small budget.
Produced with a budget of $11 million, the film was released on May 25, 1977... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_IV
:_A_New_Hope [wikipedia.org])
I don't know what the average movie budget was back then, but it looks like $11 million then, adjusted for inflation, would be equivalent to about $35 million today. So Lucas had somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-600 times th
However, if they want to guarantee a success, they could always have someone dressed as a Wookiee beat the crap out of someone dressed as a Vulcan. I can think of lots of fans (of both series, actually) that would enjoy watching that. Including me
I have a bad feeling about this...Here's to hoping he ropes in real actors, even if they don't give to shits about SW than using a bunch of fanboys who they they know what they are doing.
"I'm the only guy crazy enough to do this, because I'm not allowed to turn a profit."
Actually, you're not the first and only guy, and I doubt you'll be the last. Come on, this was only a year ago! Star Wars Revelations [ifilm.com]
If I'm not mistaken, that one sucked too
I'd really like to see Space Opera make a comeback, but it seems unlikely with the failure of Serenity at the box office.
I'd really like to see Space Opera make a comeback, but it seems unlikely with the failure of Serenity at the box office.
Whoa there! The financials for Serenity are hard to judge unless you look closely. Even though the box office take for Serenity seemed lackluster, a little inspection of the numbers reveals a different story. First, it wasn't taken seriously by the studio, who released the film in about half as many theaters as it could have -- something like 1500 theaters in the U.S. The Jodi Foster f

Delighted Leicester manager Nigel Pearson was full of praise for his players after a 1-0 win against Middlesbrough took them into second place in the npower Championship table.
A 70th-minute goal from David Nugent gave City their fourth league win in a row and sent Middlesbrough to a third consecutive defeat. Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel added to their misery by saving a penalty from Marvin Emnes in stoppage time.
"It is a good feeling to be second in the table and I thought the players applied themselves really well," said Pearson. "We had a sneaky feeling that Middlesbrough would play the way they did with two wide players and no central strikers."

You could say the timing couldn't be better. Just days after Hurricane Sandy tore things up on the East Coast, another storm is being unleashed–the new music video for Little Big Town's new single, "Tornado."
It also happens to be Halloween, an appropriate day for the release of the video, which is plenty spooky.
The video starts out with that haunting kind of calm and quiet–clothes gently rippling on the outside line, water slowly dripping, a gate creaking, darkness encroaching, and, one by one, eyes turning to the sky, as the wind–and the action–begins to pick up.
"I'm a tornado," LBT's Karen Fairchild sings at the start, "looking for a soul to take." The song is about a woman seeking revenge, and that grim, dangerous opening sets the tone for the song (and video) as it propels forward.
It's a dark, moody video that perfectly matches the tension set by the song itself–a dark but catchy song that is a full 180-degree turn from the summertime fun of the band's last single, "Pontoon."
And, of course, it's a great one to add to your Halloween playlist.

From memory (excuse me if I'm missing something), Elvis covered "Money Honey", "Such A Night", "Come What May" and "Without Love" - "Fools Fall In Love" is sometimes also cited in this same bag, but the original Drifters track didn't feature Clyde at all - already gone on a solo career - but the almost equally great Johnny Moore.
But this 1950 (released 1951) version of "Harbor Lights" by The Dominoes featuring Clyde McPhatter on lead vocal is almost never mentioned as a possible influence.
This was the second Dominoes single released on Federal Records - the labels didn´t specify Clyde's name. Their next release would be "Sixty Minute Man", one of the biggest R&B smashes of 1951 - this one didn't feature Clyde as soloist, though.
"Harbor Lights" by The Dominoes features an absolutely stunning lead vocal part by Clyde. The whole song is a total showcase for his amazing voice and performing skills. He was just 18 years old at the time of recording it.
Please listen to the second bridge. While (possibly) baritone William Lamont is singing, Clyde can be clearly heard doing back-up vocal work. So absolutely cool !!!
Can you imagine a 16 year old Elvis listening to this track on the radio ? Can you imagine him recalling this record three years later, during his early sessions at 706 Union Avenue ?

Not really one of my favorite Elvis recordings, but it's cool to know that he dug that amazing and classic "I-hi-hi-hi-hi-I´m dreaming..." part sung by Clyde on the Drifters' 1954 version of the song.
It's very nice to know the Crosby recording of "Harbor Lights". I didn't know about it. It very much resembles Elvis' version of the song, so much more than the one by The Dominoes. Also, it's very interesting to learn that the B-side of that single was "Beyond The Reef".
Well, I guess 60 years after the fact, and with all the main characters of the play having left the building, it's all down to guess work. We know Elvis was very, say, unorthodox about his musical tastes (eclectic, in today' s terms). And I think that's one of the things that made him a great performer, so different from most of his contemporaries.
Where would he have listened to Crosby's version ? Most probably on the radio, as it was a hit. It's been said that the Presleys didn' t have a record player at home. And it seems very unlikely to me that a Memphis jukebox, in 1951, would contain a Crosby single with two ballads in it. So the "Beyond The Reef" connection, while being an interesting one, could probably be discarded as being only a coincidence.
But it's remarkable that they tried this song, with such a strong resemblance to the Crosby disc, almost three years after it had been a hit. It must have been so indelibly engraved on their (his) minds.
A fascinating, never ending puzzle...
Thanks everybody !!

North Coast Catholics have responded positively to the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as pope, with good reason.
Bergoglio, who has chosen the name Francis, is the first pope from the Americas and is the first Jesuit chosen to head the Roman Catholic Church. But more than that, his humility, simple lifestyle and humble Argentinian origins provide hope for many that he will be a unifying figure focused more on social justice than dogma.
"I think it's a good step in the right direction," noted a 17-year-old student at Cardinal Newman High School in Santa Rosa. "It's the beginning of a new kind of era."
Yet the change of leadership over the entire Catholic Church comes at a time when the Santa Rosa Diocese finds itself divided — over a leadership issue.
Teachers in local Catholic schools have until the end of the day Friday to submit their "declarations" of intent to work in the next school year. As part of that declaration, they have been asked to sign a "bearing witness" addendum that declares their allegiance to the teachings of the church.
They must agree that they are called to a "life of holiness" and agree with this statement: "I am especially cognizant of the fact that modern errors — including but not limited to matters that gravely offend human dignity and the common good such as contraception, abortion, homosexual 'marriage' and euthanasia — while broadly accepted in society, are not consistent with the clear teachings of the Catholic Church."
As demonstrated by the response in recent letters to the editor, this declaration that Bishop Robert Vasa of the Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese has asked educators to sign has become a wedge issue.
Some teachers have indicated they won't sign, knowing that may cost them their job. Others take the approach that most of the issues in the "bearing witness" statement never come up in class, so they feel signing the statement won't compromise their values. Still others support Vasa in requiring the statement and support its tenets.
We don't question's Vasa's right, as that of any other manager in private business, to ask for what amounts to an oath of loyalty to a company's set of values. We also recognize the church's sovereign right to preach what it chooses. At the same time, one can hardly defend these kinds of oaths as a best practice for building employee trust and morale. Whether they are for a church, a business or members of a baseball team, they paint employees into a corner and create a with-us-or-against-us work environment.
We say this in recognition that not all of those who attend or teach in Catholic schools are as committed to church doctrine as Vasa might prefer. But that alone is not evidence that they are not good teachers — or good students.
Also significant is that this comes as the church and, in particular the local diocese, is still recovering from a scandal that was not just a failure by priests sexually abusing children but was, in the final analysis, a failure of leaders to deal with the problem directly and properly.
Many of those teachers who are now being asked to sign these oaths have chosen to stand by the church throughout this crisis. It seems to us they should be applauded for their loyalty — not tested on it.

Car into River
MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) – Authorities in Wisconsin's Dunn County say a Minnesota woman and her 23-month-old daughter are lucky to be alive after the woman fell asleep at the wheel and drove onto an icy river. WCCO-TV in Minneapolis reports the 21-year-old woman from Elko, Minn., was driving west on Interstate 94 early Sunday when authorities say she fell asleep (http://cbsloc.al/Z16Mqz). She woke to find her vehicle in the median just before a river crossing. Her car then went over an embankment and down onto the ice, where it became partially submerged in the water. Overett was able to get herself and her daughter out of the car. Authorities had to close the interstate briefly early Sunday to get the car out of the river.

Josh Greene scored a career-high 28 points and added seven assists and five steals, and CS Northridge stayed unbeaten Saturday night with a 92-76 victory over Tulsa at the NUCDF Basketball Challenge.
Greene, a junior, was 6 of 12 from the field, including two 3-pointers, and made all 14 of his free throws. Stephan Hicks and Brandon Perry added 16 points apiece for the Matadors (5-0), whose five-game winning streak to start the season is the school's first since Northridge won its first nine games of the 1981-82 season.
Rashad Smith had 15 points and James Woodard scored 14 for the Golden Hurricane (3-1), who took their first loss under new coach Danny Manning. Tulsa committed 20 turnovers to Northridge's 12.
Tulsa trailed the entire second half but pulled within 76-71 on Woodard's 3-pointer with 2:56 left. Northridge responded with a 10-0 run to put the game out of reach.

Shines, Daily Mail-United Kingdom and KGW Newschannel 8 Monday, July 15, 2013 Difficult situations can create inspiring stories, as a Beaverton family has proved. Summar and her daughter Sapphire were diagnosed with cancer within 11 days of each other last September. They call each other the superhero cancer fighter girls. "You could never imagine that you could have such timing," recalled Summar. Her diagnosis last fall was stage IV breast cancer. Her daughter Sapphire's diagnosis was leukemia. The same week Sapphire went into treatment at Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program, Summar started treatment at St Vincent's. Her husband Pascal left his job to become a full time caregiver. "There's been days when I just wish I could take both their sicknesses and put them in me to deal with them myself. That would be easier," he said. There have been fundraisers to help with bills. Summar also had to leave her job with Columbia Sportswear. "I have no idea how they have dealt with all this," said Dr. Jason Glover of Randall Children's Hospital. "They've had tremendous grace under a lot of pressure." "Sapphire's prognosis is excellent," said Dr. Glover, "Most of kids with leukemia have better than a 90% chance of being cured." For Summar the outlook is not as promising. At 36, she cherishes each moment. Pascal says his wife gets scanned every three months. "Every child needs a mother so we hope for the best," he said.

FAA's proposed $13.57 million fine against Boeing for failing to provide 747 and 757 fuel tank inerting service instructions per the Fuel Tank Flammability Rule deadline is getting a lot of ink (and pixels) for the bucks involved. But the real news may very well be buried well below the dollars in FAA's announcement. Specifically, paragraphs eight and nine:
The Fuel Tank Flammability Rule requires airlines to retrofit half of its fleet by 2014, and complete the retrofit by 2017. An airline trade group has proposed an extension of those two dates because of the service instruction delay for certain Boeing aircraft.
The FAA expects that most, if not all, operators will meet both the 2014 and 2017 deadlines, even if they received service instructions later than anticipated. The FAA has advised the trade group that the agency is not considering any extensions to the 2017 deadline for completing the fleet retrofit. However, the agency will consider extending the 2014 deadline if necessary, based on the specific circumstances for a particular operator.
The "trade group" is Airlines For America (A4A), which on March 26 sent FAA a letter urging the agency to consider a new rule that would extend the 50-percent and 100-percent compliance deadlines of December 26, 2014 and December 26, 2017, respectively. The reason: approval and development of flammability reduction means (FRM) kits is lagging far behind on five of the seven models affected by the rule. The 2008 final rule envisioned retrofits for affected models--the 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, A320, and A330--starting in the second half of 2011, but according to A4A, the only kits available at the time of its letter were for the Airbus aircraft. "There is simply not enough time to retrofit airplanes with the FRM kits by the rule's deadline," A4A argued.
In its response, dated Friday, FAA confirmed that it has approved design changes and service instructions for all affected models. And while the process has seen some delays, discussions with OEMs and operators have left the agency confident that both the interim and final deadlines will be met by--as it noted in the release--"most, if not all, operators." As such, the only extensions that FAA will consider will be to the interim deadline--and only then on a case-by-case basis.
So, the airlines lose out, then? Probably not. FAA has indicated it won't offer much resistance to requests for 2014 deadline extensions, effectively giving operators about five years to bring entire fleets into compliance.
The biggest downside of FAA's approach? Lots of paperwork for all.

LEWISTON - Every once in a while, I like to get out of the Adirondacks to explore other regions. In mid-October, I did exactly that, visiting Niagara County at the tail end of peak foliage season.
The purpose of the visit was to attend the New York Outdoor Writers Association's annual conference, which includes a dinner banquet and guided trips for writers around the region. I signed up for a pair of fishing trips: one on the lower Niagara River and another on 18-Mile Creek.
During both trips we saw large trout. Brown trout were piled up in a pool that we fished on the 18-Mile Creek and steelheads ripped the surface on the lower Niagara River.

Although we couldn't entice the spawning brown trout, we did have some luck catching steelheads and also lake trout on the lower Niagara River. We had just missed the salmon run, which took place in September and early in October.
On the Niagara River, we fished about 7 miles downstream from Niagara Falls in a 20-foot charter boat captained by Joe Marra. We trolled a stretch just below the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge that connects the United States with Canada. When heading upstream, Canada was on our right and the U.S. was on our left.
Marra said there are two main ways of fishing this stretch, a popular fishing area that drew about a half-dozen similar boats that day. One is to float eggs and the other is to troll Kwikfish lures. Both methods required fishing on the bottom, which was about 15 to 20 feet deep.
"You're going to feel it vibrate," Marra said about the lure as we drifted downstream. "You're kind of just drifting through there. It's kind of a hard, reactionary strike."
That was especially true of the steelhead trout, a larger version of the rainbow trout. The steelhead trout is an active fish that will run and sometimes leap when hooked. At one point, I hooked what I believe was a large steelhead. Immediately after I felt its tug, it took off straight for the boat. I reeled the line as quickly as possible to keep it hooked. Then, the fish went under the boat. I tried unsuccessfully to bring it to the surface. Instead, it decided to continue at a wicked pace downstream, requiring me to walk the line around the boat's bow. Then suddenly the line went slack. The fish had apparently made a U-turn back toward the boat and dislodged the hook.
This fish was in contrast to a more tame, though very large lake trout, I caught that day. This fish, which weighed about 16.5 pounds, was as one women in the boat described it, like "pulling in a wet boot." This description was accurate to some degree in that the fish was hard to get up to the boat. But pulling in a 16.5-pound fish is obviously far more exciting and way more rewarding than catching a wet boot.
For me, catching such a large lake trout was unusual. I've actually never caught one this size, but for experienced anglers in this region it's more common than you might think.
Marra said the average steelhead, which we were targeting, is about seven pounds. But people do catch steelhead up to 20 pounds. That morning, I caught one in the eight-pound range. The lakers, which were spawning and out of season when we were fishing on the Niagara, can be even larger. As big as 30 pounds, Marra said.
The fish come from Lake Ontario, running up the Niagara River, which is why they so are large. The fishing was quite the contrast to the Adirondacks, where smaller brook trout are often the target for people fishing the interior, although Adirondack lakes, including Lake Placid, do hold some good-sized lake trout.
The fish on the Niagara seemed to be in the mold of the great waterfall upstream from where we fished. Large and powerful.
"It's one of the few places other than Alaska, you can catch steelhead, salmon and lake trout," Marra told us.

And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
