LONG BEACH, CA (Catholic Online) - Last Saturday we heard the parable of the two sons (the "prodigal son" and his elder brother). Today we hear the parable of the two men who go to the temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee; the other a tax collector. The tax collector remained at a distance with his eyes downcast. He beat his breast repeatedly as he implored, "God, be merciful to me a sinner."
The Pharisee, in contrast, stood erect so he could be noticed and carried on a public monologue with himself. That's exactly how Jesus describes it: the Pharisee "stood and prayed ... with himself."
The Pharisee was proud because, as he says, he is not like the rest of sinful humanity or like that despicable tax collector lying low in a dark corner at the back of the temple.
A saint once said, "Humility is born of knowing God and knowing oneself" (The Forge, 184). Clearly, the self-righteous Pharisee knew neither God nor himself. His self-image was grossly inflated and his image of the majesty of God pathetically poor.
This parable can be summed up thus: two men went to the temple to pray. Both men received what they asked for. The tax collector received mercy and the Pharisee received nothing.
"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "Since sin is universal, those who pretend not to need salvation are blind to themselves." (588). St. John says: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
In 1946, Pope Pius XII made this sobering observation: "The sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin." When he spoke these words the atrocities of the Nazi holocaust were undoubtedly fresh in his mind.
At the war's end the soldiers who liberated the surviving prisoners of the death camps could scarcely believe their eyes as they beheld the horrors perpetrated there. How could human beings treat other human beings so cruelly and not feel any compunction?
Yet, as we know, one after another of the Nazi war criminals who stood trial at Nuremberg showed no signs of remorse for the roles, large and small, that each one played in the operation of Hitler's death machines. Instead, they were proud of their "service" to the FĂĽhrer and to the Fatherland.Â
Since those times, the list of humanity's atrocities has multiplied and the number of victims magnified beyond belief. Take for example the American abortion holocaust. Forty years after Roe vs. Wade an estimated 55 million human beings have been exterminated in abortion centers throughout our land.
In our nation the killing of the innocent unborn continues unabated but very few are losing sleep over it. Our situation is not unlike that of the inhabitants of German towns and villages located near the death camps. In Dachau, for instance, the houses of the village extended right up to the outer wall of the camp. The foul stench of death was in the air day and night. Yet the townspeople went on with their lives, raising their children, going to entertainments and social events and even attending church on Sunday.
The modern abortion "death camps" dot our nation's landscape and yet they have become virtually invisible to us. Generally speaking, Americans are unfazed by their own ghastly holocaust which in terms of sheer numbers of victims far surpasses even that of the Nazi pogroms.
Eerily enough, as a nation we have made our peace with abortion. The abomination of legalized child killing has become acceptable. In the last two General Elections abortion extremist Barack Obama handily won the White House and not without the support of the majority of Catholics. How could this happen? Venerable Pius XII nailed it: we have lost the sense of sin!
Blessed John Paul II spoke of this loss of the sense of sin in his 1984 post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation, Reconciliation and Penance. In this document he addressed a problem that all these years later still afflicts the Church in many parts of the world, namely, an indifference to the Sacrament of Penance.
Most everywhere, at least here in the United States of America, the communion lines are long and the confession lines are short (if you can even find one). How do we explain this? John Paul II pointed to what he called an "eclipse of conscience," a "clouding" of the moral sense, a "numbness or deadening" of the conscience. He wrote: "When the conscience is weakened the sense of God is also obscured, and as a result, with the loss of this decisive inner point of reference, the sense of sin is lost." (18)
Twenty years later, John Paul II revisited this topic in an address he gave to the bishops of California, Nevada and Hawaii. He told those bishops: "Sin is an integral part of the truth about the human person. To recognize oneself as a sinner is the first and essential step in returning to the healing love of God."
In effect, the pope told those shepherds to return to their flocks and remind them of the reality of sin and of each one's personal responsibility for it and to seek forgiveness and healing in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Sadly, at least in my part of the world, I don't remember hearing of any homilies or pastoral letters that brought that message home.
However, it shouldn't take a lightening bolt from the sky to make us understand this. Bishops and priests must not shy away from preaching about sin. Deep down people don't want to hear cute stories from the pulpit; they want to be told the truth. With all charity and with the necessary discretion and prudence, we must with our preaching help souls to be convicted of their sins so that they may seek forgiveness in the Sacrament of Confession.
"Given this reality," John Paul said, "the bishop's duty to indicate the sad and destructive presence of sin, both in individuals and in communities, is in fact a service of hope."
"Far from being something negative, it strengthens believers to abandon evil and embrace the perfection of love and the fullness of Christian life."
He told the bishops, "Let us boldly announce that indeed we are not the sum total of our weaknesses and failures! We are the sum of the Father's love for us, and capable of becoming the image of his Son!"
"As pastors of your flock it is with this merciful love -- never a mere sense of favor -- that you too must reach down to every prodigal son, to every human misery, and above all to every form of moral misery, to sin," the pope said.
Bishops and priests need to preach about sin as well as the boundless mercy of God and then be willing to sit in the confessional for hours if need be.
During his apostolic visit to the United States, our beloved pope emeritus, Benedict XVI, made this incisive point:
"To a great extent, the renewal of the Church in America and throughout the world depends on the renewal of the practice of Penance and the growth in holiness which that sacrament both inspires and accomplishes."
It is, therefore, no exaggeration to say that the priest, both as confessor and sorrowful penitent (that is, as one who frequently avails himself of the Sacrament of Penance), is the linchpin in the renewal of the Church and society.
Pray for your bishops and priests that they will heed this urgent plea. May Our Blessed Lady, Mother of Priests and Refuge of Sinners, lead us all to a true conversion during this Year of Faith.

Now in its 10th year, CCC's successful One Book-One College concept was designed to get the campus and the community to bond by discussing relevant themes covered in a single book. A "must read" on Cumberland's campus, members of the community are also urged to read the book.
A Mighty Long Way is a memoir of one of the nation's most significant civil rights battles. When 14-year-old Carlotta Walls walked up the stairs of Little Rock Central High School on Sept. 25, 1957, she and eight other black students simply wanted to get to class. But the journey of the Little Rock Nine, as they came to be known, would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the landscape of American education.
Getting through the door of the admired academic institution involved angry mobs, racist elected officials, and intervention by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was forced to send in the 101st Airborne to escort the Nine into the building. But entry was just the start of a heartbreaking three-year journey for Carlotta.
Breaking her silence and sharing her story for the first time, Carlotta Walls LaNier has written an engrossing account that is a testament not only to the power of a single person to make a difference, but also to the sacrifices made by families and communities that found themselves a part of history.
CCC's One Book-One College program is highlighted each year with an on-campus visit by the author. One of the featured speakers at the Phi Theta Kappa International Convention this spring, LaNier will visit CCC's campus in October.
A Mighty Long Way is available online and in the college bookstore. For more information about the One Book-One College reading program at Cumberland County College, call 691-8600 ext. 358.

Topic: whats it all about.
Do I need to do it. perhaps i'm a little bit of a simpleton. or maybe just stuck in my ways. but what are the advantages in testing?
you're going to manually do it any way? who builds a site then does'nt use it, before giving it to the customer.
could somebody give an example on how testing is better than just using the app. surely it just increases your chances of an error?

Waiter was very knowledgable regarding GF options. The menu has tons of GF options! The Italian lettuce wraps were amazing as well as their GF pasta!
My husband and I are gluten sensitive and we felt very comfortable at this restaurant. The waittress understood our needs. Highly recommend this restaurant
I wasn't sure about going here based on reviews and having Celiac. Glad I didn't listen. The staff was well trained. In fact the best meal I had at Myrtle Beach. I had the chicken Byron. Outstanding from other Carrabba's I have been too. Staff well done. Will be back when we come again. Thanks for understanding what Gluten free means. Keep up the good work!
Croutons in my GF salad and an Italian dinner roll piled on top of my take out meal. would not recommend because the kitchen staff clearly have no idea what gluten free means.
The Chicken Marsalis was excellent as was the Minestrone soup. Staff needs a little more training with the gf menu. But in her defense, when she was not sure, she asked. Would recommend.

1864 Highway 35, Middletown, NJ 07748
I went out to dinner with a few friends and was really surprised by this place. 1. A LOT of GF options. 2. The staff is accommodating, I don't know if they've been briefed on gluten free or not, but they are well informed about how it's made and will write down allergy. 3. The food is yummy! Can I say it's Celiac Friendly? No, I've only tried this place once. But I can say I did not get sick and I enjoyed an evening of good food. Definitely go in cautiously, it is a chain restaurant after all, but just know the staff is ready to help make it the best experience for you.

332 Rockwood Road, Arden, NC 28704
They have a lot of options; almost all pasta dishes can be made gf . I typically have a skin reaction if I have gluten and did have any reaction. They have a shared kitchen area so make sure to tell them it is for Celiac or an Allergy which everyone seems to understand better. Food was excellent

2575 Maryland Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090
Boo! Don't go unless you want to get sick and get a lame excuse from the Manager. Got sick in parking lot after "GF" Chicken Caesar Salad. Lots of cross contamination going on. Would not recommend if you are Celiac.
8771 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89117
Their gluten free pasta is terrible, it was mushy and not very tasty. They should switch their gluten free pasta to a better brand.
730 Smithtown Bypass, Smithtown, NY 11787
They have a decent amount of options for gluten free. They are really good.
4641 Veterans Blvd, Metairie, LA 70006

8771 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89117
Latham NY location is amazing. Fair amount of gluten free options and never had any problems or mistakes. Everything I have had is delicious . Would highly recommend.
4641 Veterans Blvd, Metairie, LA 70006
You can order the momma mandolins soup without noodles for gluten free but every time I have it comes back with noodles. I don't like sending food back but I have . Just simply refuse to go anymore. They add noodles after they put it in the bowl . Just can't follow directions which makes me skeptical about ordering the food anymore
587 South Stratford Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27103
This was our first visit to Carrabba's Candace was our server today She was amazing!!!! Very knowledgeable and double checked EVERYTHING to make sure not only was it safe but that the kitchen knew exactly what needed to be done.... Will be coming back again and again....
7275 Corporate Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70809
We also had Summer for our server. She was wonderful. She knew her stuff and made fantastic recommendations. Also, they have THE BEST caprese salad and gluten free pasta.
17007 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85255
This is my favorite restaurant! They have quite a large variety of gf foods listed clearly on their menu. Not that that even matters because I always get the same thing- Chicken Bryan. It's SOOOO delicious. I've never had an issue here at all. Just be sure to let your waiter/waitress know about your allergy. But, honestly I've forgotten to a few times and still haven't had a problem.

Took our 9 year old there tonight for the first time. After numerous verifications that her food was gluten free, she proceeded to eat her meal to be stopped half way through. The staff then advised they gave her regular noodles. We can never go back. The restaurant was very apologetic and kind after but I cannot trust them.
1320 Boardman Poland Road, Poland, OH 44514
Lots of GF choices! Wanted to try the pasta but I was craving steak, so I had the 6 oz sirloin, garlic mashed potatoes and minestrone soup. All very tasty and no issues at all! Waitress and Manager were both wonderful also. I'll try the pasta next time!! 👍🏻😊
675 Troy Schenectady Rd., Latham, NY 12110
Never had any problems here. Food is good
3921 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33140
The gf options are visible in the menu. Spaghetti with meatballs was not an option so I ordered spaghetti pomodore. Could choose soup or salad as a side dish. I ordered minestrone vegetable soup. While eating it (!) I discovered meatballs in my soup. The waiter went to check with the kitchen and it turned out they served the wrong soup! They apoligized and immediately replaced it for vegetable soup, but I was scared to eat anything after this mistake. After the soup I got pasta, not spaghetti. I'm done with this place. Do yourself a favour and eat somewhere else.
335 Highway Rt. 18, E. Brunswick, NJ 08816
They have many gf options and take precautions to avoid cross contaminatio, such as preparing the gf pasta in separate water. The new pasta is yummy! they even modified the size and cost for my daughter, so she could order off the kids menu and I could pay a kids menu price. The only reason I have them 4 stars is that they don't have many "kid friendly" options and she is the only one who needs gf. We will definitely return.
1210 Ashford Crossing, Atlanta, GA 30346
Bring a vegetarian GF person, choices can be limited. This place is terrible for me. Boring food. Only choice was pasta with red sauce. Boo. If you eat meat and love American-Italian, you'll probably like this.
1212 Oakridge Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525
The food is amazing, but the service at this one is the slowest I have ever seen from a Carrabba's.

good food and haven't had a glutenous reaction yet!

Great new menu updates! Lots of gf options.
1320 Boardman Poland Road, Poland, OH 44514
I hate giving bad reviews, but if you have celiac I think you need to know about my experience here. I ordered pasta off their gluten free menu. It was delicious (however, it was pretty pricey and my portion was small), but I've never been so sick since I was diagnosed with celiac in 2010. This could not have just been cross-contamination. I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days.
2370 SW College Road, Ocala, FL 34474
This was the first meal out after being diagnosed with Celiacs. The waitress was helpful, food was very tasty, but it was obviously cross contaminated in the kitchen, as I was very ill about 10 minutes after I finished eating. I reported it to the regional manager...hopefully they'll educate the kitchen staff better.
5805 Trinity Parkway, Centreville, VA 20120
Delicious GF options!

Great gluten free pasta and definitely recommend the gluten free appetizer caprese salad! so good! no gluten free desserts, but great blackberry sangria too!
1900 SW Fountainview Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34986
Lots of gluten free menu items, clearly identified on the menu. No having to ask for a special menu.
1001 West 75th Street, Woodridge, IL 60517
The food was DELICIOUS! As someone new to being GF, this was my first dining out experience. I researched the menu beforehand. I had the lettuce wraps, a side salad with house dressing, pollo rosa Maria, and garlic mash...ALL labeled GF. Unfortunately, I'm writing this review from my restroom where I'll seemingly be all night. I was so excited about eating out. Guess I'll stick to making dinner for myself.
3949 Trueman Blvd, Hilliard, OH 43026
They are very good at keeping food separate for gluten service was good as long as you explained

I ate here tonight with another celiac who comes here regularly (my first visit). Lots of marked GF options, tasty food and no reaction.
370 Columbiana Drive, Columbia, SC 29212
Great GF pasta substitute, but I wish they had more than one. Regular menu has GF items labeled with GF. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the menu about the possibility of cross contamination in the kitchen, but that seems standard.
12728 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
Actually nice and know what GF is with menu choices including pasta

Sorry I didn't take the other reviews into consideration I got sick also. I eat at the Nashville location a lot I never have gotten sick there

nice options for pasta
370 Columbiana Drive, Columbia, SC 29212
My husband has Celiac and this is one of the few places we eat in Columbia. Even though the salads are supposed to be gluten free, he doesn't eat them, because he gets sick. Nothing else that is marked GF makes him sick. wait staff, kitchen, everyone is very familiar with Celiac. highly recommend this restaurant
44695 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
They were so accommodating for my gluten allergy and for my mother in laws dairy allergy! I have never gotten sick after eating there. One of my favorite places to eat because they have so many options for me.
7401 West 92nd Ave., Westminster, CO 80021
Had a great GF meal with my family. Went on a Monday night and enjoyed the special for $13-15 / person. Soup or salad, entree and dessert (some of the fancier ones cost $2 more). Service was quick (ask for Chase as the sever). Found 1 regular noodle in the GF pasta dish. None of the 3 of us who are GF got sick. GF minestrone soup & Gelato were also yummy! Just make you let them know you are GF bc pasta can be made both ways (reg and GF). Other family members who ordered off the regular menu left satisfied. Husband and son enjoyed the soft bread and olive oil dipping sauce.
4765 S. 76th Street, Greenfield, WI 53220
I ate there on 7-17-2016 and had a bad reaction to the food. I had the chicken Marsala with mash potatoes and the Sicilian chicken soup (gf version). I have eaten here 3 times before with no problems but I always had the prosciutto wrapped pork chops with mash potatoes and broccoli. Just another restaurant I will cross off my list of places that I could eat at. I am very disappointed.
12728 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
I love Carrabba's they understand my allergy although they do not have pizza and stuff they have amazing food I always get gluten free chicken Bryan and garlic mashed potatoes with a ceasar salad. Love love love!
10586 Metcalf Lane, Overland Park, KS 66212
Eaten here twice with excellent food, service and not gotten contaminated. They have separate prep area and lots of options including pasta!

The Arkadag is EVERYWHERE
NewEurasia's Annasoltan has come into the possession of screen captures of Turkmenistani state media that reveal the omnipresence of President Berdimuhammedov's visage, from auditoriums to kindergartens.

Editor's Note: NewEurasia's Annasoltan has come into the possession of screen captures of Turkmenistani state media that reveal the omnipresence of President Berdimuhammedov's visage, from auditoriums to kindergartens.
Imagine if every poster on the wall, every advertisement on the side of a bus, hanging in the center of every wall in an office, and even overlooking little children playing in kindergarten, was the face of one man. An intrepid citizen-journalist in Turkmenistan has sent me really disturbing screen captures of state television that demonstrate just how pervasive the cult of personality surrounding our president, Berdimuhammedov, a.k.a., "Arkadag" (the protector/guide), has become. Even foreign companies from Russia and Kazakhstan feel obliged to hang portraits of the president in their kiosks during a recent international trade fair.
The irony is that, When Berdimuhammedov ascended to the throne after the death of Niyazov in December 2006, the latter's ubiqutious presence was erased, including his notorious Arch of Neutrality. As far back as 2008, when Berdimuhammedov announced the construction of the Constitution Monument (a barrel of laughs, that one), NewEurasia's Maciula was predicting how, in reality, he would really just scrap the old cult with his own:
I am also wondering if there is a need for one more monument of this kind to be built Ashgabat while there already is an almost identical one. It is the so-called Neutrality Arc – a monumental tower with a viewing terrace topped with a golden statue of Niyazov. There seems to be just one answer to this. Berdymukhammedov, who feels increasingly strong at the post of president, does not want to be worse than his predecessor. In order to get out of his shadow, he has to replace the cult of Niyazov with one of his own (which he successfully does) and enter the history with some kind of original ideas, monumental building, etc. This is probably the main reason for the planned construction of the Constitution Monument.
NewEurasia's Schwartz recently turned me onto the political philosopher Claude Lefort, who once remarked about the difference between democracy and totalitarianism:
La démocratie se révèle ainsi la société historique par excellence, société qui dans sa forme, accueille et préserve l'indétermination, en contraste remarquable avec le totalitarisme, qui s'édifiant sous le signe de la création de l'homme nouveau, s'agence en réalité contre cette indétermination, prétend détenir la loi de son organisation et de son développement, et se dessine secrètement dans le monde moderne comme société sans histoire.
Democracy thus reveals the historical society par excellence, in its company, [and provides a home that] maintains the uncertainty in remarkable contrast with totalitarianism, which seeks to inspire [literally: under the sign/spell of inspiring] the creation of the New Man, which actually works against this indeterminacy [i.e., the anxiety/uncertainty at the core of being], [by] claiming to possess the law of [the New Man's] organization and development, and in the modern world secretly designs a society without history.
What he means here is that a democracy remembers, whereas totalitarianism forgets — if you will, the state of memory versus the state of amnesia. The totalitarian government wipes out all recollection of what came before, because it cannot tolerate that credit might be given to another (even an older version of itself!) The amnesia is really the authorities filling up the space that exists inside every human being, the hole where we put meaning — God, Nation, our loved ones, money, whatever — with ideology; in particular, ideology of the новый человек, which was previously embodied by Turkmenbashi, and now Arkadag. And boy oh boy, the новый человек is suffocating us with his presence.
[…] it is impossible to forget who the leader of the country is. As NewEurasia.net's Annasoltan shows through screen captures of Turkmenistani state TV, his posters are literally everywhere. […]
Trackback: […] Personality cult in Turkmenistan […]

Butter Cream, Giclee Print, 5"x7"
She couldn't remember his name so instead she focused her energies on eating cake.
This is a print of an oil painting. The image is printed approximately 5x7 but comes on an 8x10 sheet with a white border for framing. It is printed on cotton paper with archival quality giclee inks.
Let Them Eat Cake was a collaboration in Fall 2010 between Paul and Jordan Ferney. Jordan got to choose the subject (and bake all he cakes) and Paul painted them. Each one had a different saying to go along with it. All the original 5x7's were sold but we are happy to finally make the prints available.

"In this country, I can marry ANYONE I WANT! Because there's CHANGE in this country now!"
However long it takes for a real victory to be certified—no matter what happens on Election Day, it will be too early to unfurl a "Mission Accomplished" banner—the once ragtag march of lovers has acquired an air of inevitability. Edith Eyde's prophecy is almost fulfilled: gays are more or less regular folk. All the same, many who came out during the Stonewall era are wondering what will be lost as the community sheds its pariah status. They are baffled by the latter-day cult of marriage and the military—emblems of Eisenhower's America that the Stonewall generation joyfully rejected. The gay world is confronting a question with which Jews, African-Americans, and other marginalized groups have long been familiar: the price of assimilation.—Love on the March by Alex Ross.

Koules Satisfied, Parrish Likes Vancouver
Despite the fact that the Lightning defense still seems a little suspect, boasting little veteran presence or even a big name, Oren Koules maintains that he is satisfied with his current defensive corps. The Lightning still have to get under the cap enough to ensure that they can accommodate Steven Stamkos' cap hit, which would be 3.75 should he reach all performance bonuses. Remember that this upcoming season is the last year of the current CBA agreement, and that there will be no performance cushions.

Berkley Powerbait 4" Power Worms 15pk
The four inch Berkley Power Worms feature the legendary Berkley scent that is molded throughout each worm. The scientific formula that each worm is impregnated with gives fish a taste that makes them hold on to the worm many times longer than they would with regular plastic or salted worms. That means when you get bit with a Berkley Power Worm you have more time to detect the strike and set the hook. The sharp curl in the tail will give these Power Worms bass attracting action even with the very slow retrieves necessary when the bite is tough or the water is cold. Try them with a dropshot rig , or any finesse rig you like, to give yourself the Berkley advantage.
12 Colors

Headed to the Magnificent Mile lights Festival® presented by BMO Harris Bank tomorrow? Garrett Popcorn Shops® will be there, too! There's lots happening throughout the day, so it's best to plan to see (and taste) it all!
Between 11a.m. – 3:30p.m. families can enjoy live musical performances at the BMO Harris Bank Stage in Pioneer Court (401 N. Michigan Ave.). The lineup includes China Anne McClain, American Idol finalists Haley Reinhardt and Casey Abrams, and others. If you find that you're a little thirsty after so much entertainment, walk over to the Garrett booth. We'll have hot cups of CaramelCrisp® Apple Cider for sale. The best part, aside from the amazing taste, is that $1 from each sale benefits The Boys & Girls Club in your community.
While there, you may want to start your holiday shopping with a tin of The Chicago Mix. We'll have seasonal, 1 gallon tins available for $34. Cash only.
Continue shopping in Pioneer Court until 5p.m. or walk along Michigan Avenue to see the decorations and take in the entries to the window design contest. You may find yourself near our 625 N. Michigan Avenue Shop as you wander the scene. If you don't have time to stop before the parade, this Shop and our Ogilvie Station Shop will be open until 9p.m. for your convenience.
Find your spot along Michigan Avenue before 5:30p.m. when the Lights Festival procession begins. Over fifty floats are in the parade this year, and we're proud to make our first appearance with our "Tins the Season" float! Carolers will sing songs of holidays and popcorn while customers anticipate the savory treats waiting for them behind the counter. Our float will smell as great as it looks, too, with the wafting aroma of CaramelCrisp® making people crave a taste. Fortunately, we'll have runners handing out samples of The Chicago Mix to waiting fans.
Stick around until the end of the parade. We plan to "Shake it up!" a little before the grand finale of Santa and fireworks!
If you're unable to attend, we'll be broadcast on ABC 7, or you can get a real time feel for the parade action by following our Twitter account, @GarrettPopcorn. Hope to see you there!

Professor Hiroyuki Yokoyama of the new industry creation hatchery center (NICHe) of Tohoku University, and advanced materials laboratories of Sony Corp., have succeeded in jointly developing a blue-violet ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laserwith dramatically improved peak laser beam output levels that are 100 times that of the world's current highest levels. Such laser can reportedly increase capacities of Blu-ray discs by twenty times.
This latest successful development is an all-semiconductor laser picosecond pulse source with a laser wavelength of 405nm in the blue-violet region. It is capable of generating optical pulses in the ultrafast duration of 3ps (1 picosecond = one-trillionth of a second), with ultrahigh output peak power of 100W and repetition frequency of 1GHz. Advanced control of the newly-developed and proprietarily-constructed GaN-based mode-locked semiconductor laser and semiconductor optical amplifier have enabled peak output power in excess of 100W to be achieved, which is more than a hundred times the world's highest output value for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers, according to Sony.
The newly-developed blue-violet semiconductor laser (right)
The newly-developed semiconductor optical amplifier (left)
Although there have been ultra high-output laser devices combining solid-state lasers and a second harmonic generation unit for high functionality and high-value leading-edge chemical research applications in the past, the light source box itself was bulky and a specialist technician was required to ensure the stable operation of the laser. There are high expectations that this newly-developed semiconductor laser system, which incorporates semiconductor diodes, can have a much wider range of future applications. For instance, this technology enables the size of components such as the light source box to be drastically reduced.
This newly-developed ultra high-output, ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser light source is capable of using a nonlinear optical process known as two-photon absorption, which occurs only as a result of high intensity optical pulses. When light from the laser beam is concentrated on the lens, it creates chemical and thermal changes in the vicinity of the lens focus spot which is narrower than even the diameter of the focus spot of the lens itself. It is anticipated that application of these properties will be possible in a wide range of fields such as three-dimensional (3D) nano-fabrication of inorganic/organic materials in the order of nanometers, and next-generation large-capacity optical disc storage.
Sony tested the principles for applying this technology in next-generation large-capacity optical disc-storage by creating void marks with a diameter of approximately 300nm at intervals of 3micrometers on the interior of plastic material, and successfully read these marks with the laser beam.
These experimental results have been achieved through integration of Tohoku University's fundamental technology on ultrashort pulse lasers and Sony's fundamental technology on semiconductor laser diodes. Hereafter, Tohoku University and Sony will work to further develop its fundamental technology for creating even higher output and multi-functionality, while developing the practical applications of this technology to make these systems even more compact and stable.

Thrive Diet | Continual Cleansing for Health and Vitality
Posted By Brendan Brazier On February 28, 2008 @ 10:00 pm In Fitness/Diet | 5 Comments
Photographer: G Monkie (CC)
G Living's Brendan Brazier is one the world's few professional athletes whose diet is 100 percent plant based. He's a professional Ironman triathlete, bestselling author on performance nutrition, and the creator of an award-winning line of whole food nutritional products called Vega.
The following is our second excerpt from Brendan's new book "The Thrive Diet", on sale now in Canada and and in the U.S. in January.
Ever have difficulty waking up in the morning or find that you have low energy all day long? Are you unable to concentrate at work? Do you feel sluggish and depressed? If so, you could be a good candidate for a cleanse. Cleansing your body of accumulated toxins can help you gain energy and improve overall health. Many people report more clarity, greater alertness, overwhelming joy and even incredible insight after a cleanse.
A simple test you can do to determine whether or not you're in need is to eat a few leaves of a dark leafy green vegetable, such as kale, or down a couple of shots of fresh wheat grass juice. If you can get it down without cringing — chances are, your system is already alkaline. However, if these foods taste horribly bitter and nearly cause a gag reflex, you will certainly benefit from a cleanse.
There are many excellent articles and books dedicated to cleansing, so I won't get too lost in the details here. What's interesting to note, however, is that all of them prescribe complete abstinence from animal based foods and focus solely on plant-based nutrition during the cleansing process. My take on this is that if you feel so good after a cleanse, why not adopt a "continually cleansing" type of diet? That's what I call The Thrive Diet — a common-sense, simple approach to eating that is based on plant-based whole foods.
Once you have completed your cleanse of choice, you'll likely feel much better and won't want that great feeling to go away. So, how to you extend and expand upon these cleansing benefits for long term optimal health and vitality? Start by consuming lots of raw, alkaline forming fruits and vegetables. Eaten on a regular basis, these foods will start the natural transition process away from processed foods that cause the body to become acidic.
At first, however, the body will not naturally crave green foods if it is accustomed to the processed and refined variety. You have to simply begin adding more raw natural plant-based foods to your diet. In the beginning, add the green foods, but don't subtract anything. Over time, you will naturally and painlessly have less interest in eating processed foods. At this point you can simply fill up on more foods that you desire. I know this sounds overly simplistic but it's a scientific fact that when the body has all its nutritional needs fulfilled, cravings decline dramatically.
To get to the point where you no longer have to restrain yourself from eating unhealthy food is a great feeling and a telltale sign that your body is cleansing itself and making a smooth transition to a much healthier lifestyle that takes considerably less willpower than you could possibly imagine. Constantly fighting cravings is not a mentally healthy way to live, so changing the perception of what your body desires is fundamental to breaking cravings permanently.
A good way to get more fruit and vegetables into your diet is by making smoothies at home and drinking them as snacks or meals. Beginning your day with a smoothie made from alkaline forming, plant-based whole food ingredients is one of the best ways to get the body going and provide it with clean burning, easy-to-use fuel to jumpstart your day.
Smoothies are easy and convenient to prepare and can pack a lot of nutrition into a glass – plus their great taste appeals to almost all palates. It is important to note that though there are umpteen yummy smoothie recipes out there, some are much healthier than others. Whereas many smoothies contain mostly carbohydrates, I like mine to include all the elements of a complete meal, including protein and EFAs. Try following my basic guidelines for an ideal smoothie:
In my new book The Thrive Diet, I include several recipes for chlorophyll rich cleansing smoothies. Ones that can be made from scratch, or ones that can have Vega Whole Food Smoothie Infusion as the main ingredient.
The US version of The Thrive Diet is now available in bookstores across the United States. Published by Perseus in hardcover, the content is exactly the same as the paperback version published last year in Canada by Penguin (even though the cover is different). To find a store near you that carries The Thrive Diet or to order on-line, visit the publisher's website or Amazon.

Dearest kitchen managers/etc:
I was wondering if I might be able to add some items to the Green City order this week? They're for me/the flat, not the Forest. I used to do this back in the day and just put it on a separate invoice so it didn't mess up the Forest books. In exchange, I could just do the Green City order for you, or put it away when it gets in, or some altogether less glamorous task??

Linda Loudermilk | Spring Collection
Contributing Monkie Sarah Backhouse
Topics of Interest eco Fashion, Fashion, linda loudermilk, organic fashion
Published on March 2, 2009
Section Style / Fashion / Beauty, The Real G Show / G Living Live
Here at G Living we really like mixing it up at a gas stations. Okay, I'm being a little facetious. BP Helios House is more than a gas station – it was the chosen location for the debut of Linda Loudermilk's Spring 2008 collection, Windpower. Supermodel Kristi Hume and other long limbed lovelies pumped gas…I mean, strutted the catwalk…for a host of eco-fabulous celebrities including rumored guest Prince, although the super secretive star did manage to keep well out of the spotlight. How convenient.
When it comes to high-end green fashion, they don't come any bigger or better than Linda Loudermilk. Linda introduced breakthrough fabrics like mud-dyed linen, vegan silk and milk cashmere. These were in addition to her staples like organic cotton, seaweed wood pulp and sasawashi (a Japanese leaf… don't worry, I'm half Japanese and I had to look that one up).

They look great... do you have any pictures showing bottom of the pies? Did you use ADY? ADY%? Bake time? What did you use for baking?I tried 64% hydration last weekend, it was bit hard to work with.
I used 275 gram dough balls. Also I would love some constructive feedback.
I hope that the "different" is the flour and not the pizza maker
Hi Acbova,They look tasty.Can I offer up a small piece of advice? You might want to brush the raw flour off your crust. A healthy percent of customers may think of that as a negative to an otherwise great pizza. My eye went right to it in every photo.Good luck!
The Kale is marinated ala Craig and was my favorite taste of the day.
... Marinated kale on pizza is on my list of things to try, but I have not done it yet.

Sharing breast milk has always had a place in the history of infant feeding. However in 1985, it was established that HIV can pass from mother to child via breast milk ingestion, and there was doubt that the pasteurisation process could render donor breast milk free of the virus.1 This uncertainty decreased breast milk sharing and forced the closure of almost all North American milk banks. In response, the Human Milk Bank of North America association (HMBANA) was created. It galvanised policy creation, regulated operational standards and optimised screening of potential breast milk donors.2 Since then, research has shown that HIV along with hepatitis A, B, C and human T lymphotropic virus are eliminated during the pasteurising process.3 Pasteurised human …

Rockabilly style haircut with volume and mullet
Two dated men's hairstyles are put together in an updated combination that has been in the hair trends list for the past two years. The sides, instead of being shortened, are tucked behind the ears, to emphasize the mullet created in the back. The length and texture of straight hair makes this possible and visually neat. Hair on top is long and reinforced to stand up in a wavy, yet well-defined, quiff. The obvious challenge in this hairstyle is the height and hold, which mousse or clay rubbed into the roots will take care of.

Health care providers agree that preconceptional planning for pregnancy offers the opportunity to get a baby off to the best possible start. Good health before you become pregnant is one of the most important parts of having a healthy pregnancy and baby. Recent studies indicate that more than 50 percent of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. This means that most women are not even aware they are pregnant in the crucial first eight weeks of pregnancy, when a baby's entire organ system forms.
Preconceptional health refers to the health of the person planning to be pregnant before conception. The goal of preconceptional health is to provide women and their partners with information to make timely informed decisions about their reproductive futures such as prevention of unintended pregnancies, and identification of risk factors that could affect reproductive outcomes.
Some preconceptional risk factors are diabetes, hypertension, phenylketonuria (PKU), HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, repeated spontaneous abortions and previous low-birthweight infant. Others are underweight, overweight, vitamin deficiencies, smoking, alcohol and illegal drug use.
In preconceptional counseling, careful review of a woman's medical, reproductive, nutritional, and family history are included so that potential problems can be discovered, individualized education provided and possible interventions discussed and offered. A health care provider such as a physician, nurse-midwife or advanced practice nurse may provide such service.
Tips for Pre-Pregnancy Planning
If you are planning a pregnancy, make an appointment with your health care provider and pay attention to the following points:

It's hard to get a good malted milk shake these days. Oh sure you can get a "milk shake" but it's not the good old fashioned malted milk shake. With this product you can. it is real malt, and it tastes great. I have ordered this product before, and will continue to do so in the future. I like to buy 6 or more at a time so that I don't run out. Delicious!

I was one of the estimated 200,000 faithful who arose at the crack of dawn to join the crowds swelling St. Peter's Square and its surrounding streets. I was also joined by millions more by way of television, radio, and the internet. We had come on this historic day to express deep personal affection and solidarity for Benedict XVI, whose February 27 audience served as his last public appearance and farewell address in Rome.
Benedict reassured us that he will resign his papacy tomorrow "in full consciousness of its gravity and also novelty, but with profound serenity of soul." He therefore confirmed his full personal freedom to do so, as originally announced on February 11 and in accordance with the Church's legal canons which protect against forced resignations.
All said, there was not an air of gloom-and-doom in St. Peter's Square. The unexpected spring-like sunny weather broke weeks of an endless stormy winter (literally and figuratively) in Rome. This glorious day, surely, was seen a positive sign for the Church's future. The theological virtue of hope was indeed palpable among the vivacious crowd who expressed their gratitude with brightly colored banners of affection ("You will not be alone!", "We love and thank you Holy Father!", "We are young and will not fear!") and culminated in festive joy as a Bavarian folk band broke into song. There was a cheering confidence, as if the Pontiff were on a final "victory lap" in his popemobile. The normally non-emotive German pope went off script during the rhythmic, joyful chant of Italian "Be-ne-det-to!": "I am truly moved! And I see the Church is alive!"

Interesting piece by Jimmy Conrad from ESPN/Soccernet, worth a read...
I'm in agreement that US Soccer could thrive without the structure of traditional US sports ie- player drafts, conferences, and playoff formats. Conrad asserts that going to an EPL style 2 X 10 team table system complete with regulation is a step in that direction.
The ideas as presented are half-baked, but he's dead nuts that the system here needs something to boost interest. Not playing by the rules could help. The danger is the MLS standing pat between NHL and Major League LaCrosse on the US athletes' (and fans') radar. What is there to lose? Fans aren't walking away at this point, and I think the owners/towns that are really passionate about soccer could build their teams and fan bases from the ground up.

Galt, John
John Galt 1779-1839
Scottish novelist, poet, dramatist, and short story and travel writer.
The following entry presents criticism on Galt from 1980 through 1989. For additional information on Galt's life and career, see NCLC, Volume 1.
Galt is best remembered for his depictions of rural and village life in eighteenth-century Scotland. In his most successful books, including Annals of the Parish; or, The Chronicle of Dalmailing (1821), he endeavored to construct a day-to-day account of one person's experiences, recording the details of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century life and the vernacular speech of Scotland. Galt is thus seen as an early realist author particularly concerned with contemporary social issues. Discursively plotted, Galt's fiction principally focuses on character, featuring highly individual protagonists ranging from uncompromising merchant adventurers to sympathetic country ministers. Galt treats these figures with varying degrees of irony by unmasking their self-deception and moral failings to his readers. In many of his works, Galt additionally confronts the theme of society in transition from simple village life to a modernized commercial and urban existence. Though a number of his lesser writings are generally forgotten, Galt continues to be admired for his insightful observations, historical verisimilitude, skillful blending of irony and pathos, and linguistic mastery of Scottish dialect.
Biographical Information
Galt was born in the seaside town of Irvine, Ayrshire. His family moved to nearby Greenock when he was ten years old. The region of western Scotland surrounding these two villages forms the setting for a number of his later novels, which Galt collectively dubbed "Tales of the West." His father was a merchant sea captain, and Galt's early education focused on the practical matters appropriate for a future businessman. As a youth, he served as a customshouse clerk until 1804, when he departed for London to begin his career. His business activities of the subsequent half decade invariably ended in failure, but in the meantime, he began writing the Gothic poem The Battle of Largs (1804) and submitting articles to various periodicals. After a short, unsuccessful period in law school, he traveled around the Mediterranean with Lord Byron, whom he had encountered in Gibraltar. Returning to England in 1811, he wrote two travel books and a novel, The Majolo (1816), based upon his European experiences. He also spent part of 1812 as editor of the Political Review. In 1813 Galt married Elizabeth Tilloch, the daughter of a fellow editor and early patron. Later that year, he submitted the manuscript of The Pastor to a publisher who rejected it on the grounds that no market for Scottish literature existed. However, eight years later (after the stunning success of Sir Walter Scott's historical novel Waverley), Galt's book was published serially in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine with a new title, Annals of the Parish. Galt left England in 1826 to join the Canada Land Company, by far his most successful business venture. He helped found the Ontario towns of Guelph and Goderich. However, a financial panic in 1829 forced him to return to England. Upon his arrival, he found himself unable to repay his creditors and was jailed for several months in the King's Bench debtors' prison. While there, he resumed his prolific writing career and published a string of novels following his release. Galt suffered a serious stroke in 1832 and, unable to write, had to dictate his autobiography, published in 1833, to a secretary. His health failing, Galt retired to Greenock in 1834 and died in April of 1839.
Major Works
Galt wrote a number of short stories, travel essays, dramas, and miscellaneous works, but most of his major writings were novels, which he imaginatively classified as "theoretical histories." Annals of the Parish recounts the lives of parishioners in northern Scotland through the journal narration of a rural pastor, Reverend Micah Balwhidder. In entries dating between 1760 and 1810, Balwhidder writes a kind of social history by describing the growth of the village of Dalmailing in the early phases of the industrial revolution. He details subjects ranging from comic local church events to issues of significant historical upheaval, including the effects of the American Revolution and Napoleonic victories in Europe. Galt's epistolary novel The Ayrshire Legatees; or, The Pringle Family (1821) follows the country minister Dr. Zachariah Pringle, his wife, son, and daughter to London and records their views of life in the English metropolis in their letters to friends back home. The somewhat haphazard and episodic first-person narrative of The Steam-boat (1822) contains the tales of numerous steamboat travelers in Scotland and England, particularly those of Thomas Duffle, a Glasgow merchant. Sir Andrew Wylie, of That Ilk (1822) tracks its eponymous hero, an aspiring young businessman, from Scotland to London. He finds wealth, a seat in Parliament, and, after securing a baronetcy, wins the hand of his beloved Mary Cunningham, daughter of the Laird of Craiglands. Galt's first truly political novel, The Provost (1822) describes the life of the sly, self-centered minister James Pawkie and relates events in the fictional Scottish village of Gudetown. The Entail; or, The Lairds of the Grippy (1823) chronicles the obsessive struggle of a destitute Glasgow orphan, Claud Walkinshaw, to regain the lost inheritance of his landed ancestors. A partial response to the novel Old Mortality by Sir Walter Scott, Ringan Gilhaize; or, The Convenanters (1823) is set amongst the religious conflicts in Scotland during the Reformation. Galt also produced several more historical novels—ostensibly in the manner of Scott—which concern Scottish and English royalty: Rothelan (1824), The Spaewife (1824), and Southennan (1830), works that focus on the reigns of Edward III, James I, and Mary, Queen of Scots, respectively. The Last of the Lairds; or, The Life and Opinions of Malachi Mailings, Esq. of Auldbiggings (1826) relates the downfall of Mailings, the final remnant of a crumbling Scottish feudal dynasty, while Bogle Corbet; or, The Emigrants (1831) offers an imaginative fictionalization of Galt's own experiences in Canada. Like Galt himself, the novel's hero leads a group of Scottish settlers to Canada, founds a city there, and adjusts to life in the North American wilderness. Narrated by the Scotsman Archibald Jobbry, The Member: An Autobiography (1832) dramatizes Galt's interests in British parliamentary politics and is a critique of political corruption focused on its Tory protagonist. In the sequel to this work, The Radical (1832), Galt presents his views in favor of political progress and voices his support of the 1832 Reform Act. Among Galt's nonfictional works, the Life and Administration of Cardinal Wolsey (1812) relates the exploits of the ambitious sixteenth-century Lord Chancellor of England, whom Galt depicts as a rigorous champion of unrestricted individual achievement. In Cursory Reflections on Political and Commercial Topics (1812), Galt documents his essentially realist and progressive ideas on politics and economy.
Critical Reception
During his lifetime, Galt's works elicited a largely positive and sustained critical interest. Such figures as Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge admired his writing and ensured his popularity until his death. From this time, however, Galt's reputation has declined considerably. In the ensuing years, his "theoretical histories" continue to be remembered for their realistic and detailed evocation of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scottish life and for their humorous and sympathetic portrayal of character. Galt has been criticized, nevertheless, for creating chaotic plots and oversimplified supporting figures in his later works. Despite flaws in craftsmanship, plotting, and a degree of topicality, critics acknowledge that a number of Galt's novels, including Annals of the Parish, The Provost, and The Member, demonstrate an enduring merit. Additionally, some contemporary critics focus on Galt's literary influences, particularly that of David Hume and Adam Ferguson of the Scottish Enlightenment. These commentators describe Galt as a thoroughgoing realist whose collected writings reflect his generally optimistic belief in social, industrial, and commercial progress and his critique of traditional feudal systems as declining and corrupt relics of the past.

[In the following essay, Costain describes Galt's positive representation of industrial progress in his prose fiction.]
Unlike most novelists in the early nineteenth century, John Galt was concerned with contemporary social problems. As an essayist, a novelist, and a Scot, he was fully aware of the implications of the industrialism that had transformed at least the lowlands of Scotland from "an utterly impoverished country to a prosperous land."1 In an interconnected series of novels that he wrote in the 1820s...

[In the following essay, Griffith considers generic difficulties related to Galt's fiction and his role in the early formation of the realist short story.]
When Brander Matthews proclaimed the existence of the short story in 1884, he created a literary problem as much historical as generic, for in defining the genre he placed it in literary history and thus set off the search for literary precedents. The search has been particularly fruitful in Studies in Short Fiction, yielding virtually a complete history of English short...

[In the following essay, Waterston discusses Galt's unromantic, middle-class novel Bogle Corbet as it illustrates qualities of Canadian and Scottish life.]
"Vertical Mosaic" is a phrase happily adopted by many critics and historians to explain the quality of Canadian life. "Mosaic" refers to the notion that the individual pieces, the ethnic groups and sub-groups, tend to hold their shape, keep their colour, rather than to melt and meld into "One Nation, Indivisible." "Vertical" alludes to the fact that...

[In the following essay, Costain investigates Galt's indebtedness to the social, moral, and historical thought of the Scottish Realists.]
When, in The Ayrshire Legatees, the Rev. Dr Pringle arrives in London on top of a coach he fears for his clerical dignity. But his fears prove groundless, in more than a literal sense, for, as he reports to his Session Clerk in the village of Garnock: 'although the multitude of bygoers was like the kirk-skailing at the Sacrament, I saw not a kent face, nor one that took the...

[In the following essay, McClure details Galt's use of Scots dialect to delineate his characters and realistically depict eighteenth-century Scottish society in The Entail.]
The Entail was regarded by John Galt as his masterpiece; and one of its most outstanding features is the author's skill in handling the western rural dialect of Scots. The finest Scots dialogue in Galt's work—indeed, some of the best in all Scottish literature—is to be found in this book. The contribution which this makes to the success of the novel is twofold. As is...

[In the following essay, Wilson offers a stylistic analysis of Ringan Gilhaize, illuminated by Galt's manuscript of the novel.]
In 1969 Ian Gordon discovered the MS. of John Galt's novel Ringan Gilhaize in the Edinburgh offices of the publishers Oliver & Boyd.1 There it had probably lain since the publication of the three volumes on 2 May 1823. By arrangement with Oliver & Boyd the MS. on its rediscovery was deposited in the National Library of Scotland where I have been able to consult...

John Galt's first published Scottish novel made its initial appearance in monthly instalments from June 1820 to February 1821 in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. The editor, 'Christopher North', announced in the magazine the following year that the series ('the very best that ever had been in any...
