During and after the fireworks in Vancouver on Saturday night, many people wanted to get on Canucks head coach John Tortorella for being so mad. Claiming that if he didn't want or expect that to happen, he should have put out a more skilled line.
I disagree.
He shouldn't have made his way to the Calgary Flames dressing room but that doesnt mean he can't be upset about the start to the game.
Yes, every once in a while a team starts their fourth line and it doesn't always result in a line brawl but Torterella couldn't risk putting his skill guys out there. I don't think if they countered Calgary's fourth line with the Sedin line, the twins would have gotten mauled but how do you really know?
You don't start that line with Brian McGrattan and Kevin Westgarth, two of the toughest in the game, without the intention of a big physical start. Whether it's running around to set a physical tone or actually fighting someone.
It's hard to know what was said between Westgarth who was playing center for some reason and Kevin Bieksa but it sure looked like Westgarth was more than ready to do something dumb and it didn't matter who was taking the draw. Westgarth did immediately jump an unwilling guy and then grabbed Kellen Lain and made him fight 2 seconds into his first NHL game.
If things were different and a skilled Canuck player was injured or beat up badly because they didn't respond with the right line, who is everyone blaming today?
The head coach of course.
It happened to Randy Carlyle in pre-season this year, when he put out Phil Kessel with John Scott. His best player was put in a bad spot because he didn't expect it to happen. "I never believed in my wildest dreams that the attack would come directed at that type of player from the opposition, but I was wrong." He said.
A very memorable game I was playing in 2006 had a similar situation as far as player selection. The game was in Washington versus the Atlanta Thrashers who were coached at that time by none other than Bob Hartley. His teams were always pretty tough and we had some good battles with them.
It was late in the game and six foot five Andy Sutton took a big run at one of our young defenseman Mike Green. This wasn't a little run; this was a take your head off and hurt you type run. The third or fourth time he had done this late in a hockey game against us. Green thankfully avoided it, but the intent was absolutely there to hurt someone once again.
After the hit, a small melee ensued. This left each team playing 3 on 3. Our bench was irate. Many four letter words were exchanged before the next faceoff. What happened next is, Hartley either misread the situation or he intended to diffuse it with the players he put out.
We were at home and had last change. Hartley sent out Greg DeVries, Vitaly Vishnevskiy and Marian Hossa of all guys. Our head coach Glen Hanlon answered with Donald Brashear, John Erskine and Matt Bradley. Everyone knew what was going to happen whether you like it or not. We were not going to be pushed around again.
Brashear beat the snot out of Vishnevskiy, Erskine gave Hossa a rough ride and DeVries and Bradley paired off.
Now this incident in 2006 happened at the end of an extremely heated game with rules in place to prevent instigating and shenanigans in the last 5 minutes so perhaps there was a sense of protection the Thrashers bench felt?
Either way, the end result was players that shouldn't have been out there for Atlanta were and Hartley made a huge mistake. Andy Sutton and Bob Hartley have to feel terrible for getting their guys pummelled.
The situation in the Flames-Canucks game was different. There wasn't a heated incident immediately before, but as a coach I don't think you can take that chance, especially if you have last change.
Torterella is vilified more today if Daniel Sedin is mugged or their team is completely taken advantage of. He protected his team, which is what a coach is supposed to do. He had no choice but to put out a comparable line of grit and toughness. That doesn't mean he has to be happy with what unfolded next.
No one knows what might have happened had Tortorella put out a skilled line. This game is unpredictable and rules don't often matter in the heat of the moment. Assuming nothing, could have been very costly for him, more than the fine or suspension he will likely receive and deserve for his intermission antics. He could have lost his best players or that dressing room.
Has Bob Hartley ever tried to diffuse a situation again, when put in Tortorella's spot?
I doubt it.

@Brian Sutherby
Absolutely agreed, especially considering it doesn't have to be a fight right off the draw but rather it could be McGrattan or anyone else taking a run at one of the Sedins (or Burrows, who was wearing a full face guard in his first game back from a broken jaw) and causing injury that way.
Alberts still isn't healthy from the concussion he got from McGrattan in that Dec 29 game.
January 20 2014, 12:05PM
@Brian Sutherby
Mcgrattan didn't Ko a canuck with an elbow. You should probably go back and review that video. That was one of the weirdest KO's I've ever seen. it was shoulder to shoulder and Mcgratts hands came up and that was it. Didn't appear to be any significant contact to the head. What contact there was, was secondary. He got the "elbow pit" (inside of the arm) in the face.
More likely it was just a unexpected impact for Alberts that stunned him
January 20 2014, 12:09PM
One other point I don't think has been brought up is Hartley tries to sell them being the starters by saying they scored in the last game. While McGrattan and Westgarth were on the ice for the Bouma goal in the previous game (at the end when the game was out of reach) none of that line has had a single point in some time. The last point of any kind for that forward group was Dec 12, when McGrattan had an assist, and Dec 21 for the defence, when Butler had an assist.
His hands and stick were up in the hit and contacted Alberts. Regardless, if you want to look at that as a legal play it's further evidence of what could happen if the Sedins were put out on that faceoff.
January 20 2014, 12:18PM
His hands came up after initial contact. Have a close look at the video again.
Either way what you are saying is never ever put the sedins out against somebody's fourth line? I mean yeah they are little babies but that sounds kind of stupid to me.
If you think Mcgrattan is such a goon maybe you should look at the penalties he gets. He rarely ever takes a stupid penalty, he doesn't run around like an idiot trying to hurt people. His minutes are usually fighting and that's it.
I don't get how Hartley is to blame here.
The Canucks have been going on for the last 2 weeks about how they are going to be tough to play against. How's that working for ya?
Hartley has every right to throw out the big boys. Like has already been said, if the Flames had their 4th line out for an icing call and couldn't change, Torts would have had the Sedins out in an instant.
Did Hartley bait Torts? You bet he did. Did Torts take the bait? Right again.
Torts trip to the dressing room is where he crossed the line. About a 2 game suspension seems appropriate to me.
January 20 2014, 12:30PM
Thanks Mr. Sutherby for the nice article and insider's perspective.
I wish I could have read something that good in this morning's newspapers.
Bob Hartley sent out his 4th line, a line made up of players that had combined for 3 goals in 76 games this season, to start the game – the first time in 49 games this season he had done so. He sent out a player that had previously only taken 2 faceoffs all season to win the opening faceoff and to, apparently, score a goal. I think we all know why Hartley put those guys on the ice and it wasn't to create offence.
But, but what where their Corsi's?
For the stat guys that think everything can be measured on a stat sheet.
January 20 2014, 12:33PM
Sure... but I'm pretty sure he didn't put them out there to start a line brawl either. Blair Jones & Chris Butler aren't what folk would generally refer to as "tough customers"... why send those guys out when Lance Bouma and SOB are dressed? Probably thought that he'd put McGrattan out there to get the ritual "you injured my guy last time now we have to fight" over and done with but then Tortorella's maniac routine raised the temperture.
Regardless this whole articule is poorly thought out... by the logic expoused here no coach can ever put any line out against another teams fourth line except their own fourth line... for some reason I'm pretty sure if the Flames fourth line iced the puck Tortorella wouldn't have any objection to throwing the Sedins over the boards. He had a choice and he choose to take the outcome that Hartley offered up. His act of personal affrontery was buffoonish at best.
I wonder if Hartley goes for physical intimidation the next time the Flames play the Oilers - if he starts with Stajan, Backlund and Cammelari we'll know he's doing it again.
Stajan couldn't beat a good hard on.
January 20 2014, 12:39PM
They still come up as a part of the contact and he almost clotheslines Alberts with the way he goes in with his arms.
I get that McGratton isn't really a dirty player (he's not a Ben Eager for sure) so I have some respect for him there, but there is also Westgarth on the ice - particularly at center. The intent is fairly obvious to either fight right away or set a very physical tone (more so than any other time of the game).
It's not a match up you choose as the Canucks with a neutral zone faceoff at the start of the game. After an icing or something, sure, but as the home team with last change you don't pick that most of the time.
I'm glad you can argue a point without name calling or insults though... wait, what was that "little babies" comment? You might as well just call them sisters, something else that's derogatory but absolutely false considering the physical abuse they take while playing the cycle and still keep going.
January 20 2014, 12:42PM
Ok, fair enough. Can we at least call Burrows "a joke"? No one's going to argue that one. Face protector or not, he deserves to have his jaw bashed in at any point. It would definitely stop him from his little sqwak-and-run-away routine.
January 20 2014, 12:45PM

Uh, no.
The heart, energy, desire that the Flames are showing despite that it's early in their rebuild and the team has very little talent is exciting. This identity is a critical element of a successful rebuild.
Unlike the Oilers who have had 3 consecutive 1st overall's (soon a 4th) and much more talent they are listless, lifeless, heartless, and most important they have developed a culture of no accountability and losing that will be very difficult to change!
January 20 2014, 12:59PM
Fighting discussions always bring the best and brightest to the comments.
January 20 2014, 01:08PM
I'm glad you take offense at that(ummm why?). At least I'm not calling you names. Besides what should you care what I call players. Vancouver Canucks Diving team probably upsets you too.
Anyway I can't respect players like the sedin sisters or kesler, burrows and kassian. Their actions are often disgusting, like the drinking motions burrows was directing at our bench (maybe at SOB) I don't know, but a bunch of gutter trash that I would be disgusted to have on my team.
I can't stand the soccer style dives those guys attempt time and again. Or the bitting or the idiotic locker room charges. It's a joke. There is space for a little embellishment but it's just so bad on that team.

The Oilers have held coaches, Tom Renney, Ralph Krueger, and GM Steve Tambellini accountable.
It has taught the players, it is not their problem, the coach will get fired, and we never have fault. Win or lose, the pay cheque goes in the bank.

For sure. We can argue the actions to the death - I'm not too sure the answer is as easy as 'x' coach is wrong. The nice thing about the whole pinata from a Flames perspective is that there's a pulse. You can say whatever you want about the skill (or lack thereof), but to me, that game proves they aren't going down without a fight. I like that, and see it as a crucial component of a successful "rebuild".
Offence at those kind of comments? Not so much, actually kinda happy to think that's the only argument people can come up with against the Sedins. It's pretty sad though that people still resort to that after all these years of the Sedins playing tough minutes.
If that's your stance that you can't respect someone like the Sedins even, but you want people to respect McGrattan, then there's not much point in debating any of this with you.
January 20 2014, 01:55PM
I thought Saturday was a great night for hockey. Sestito beat down McGratten, Kassian punked Bouma and the Canucks won.
You must have loved the dive Giordano took grabbing Kassian's stick then.
January 20 2014, 02:11PM
haha tough minutes all you want about the sisters but I have yet to see them stand up and fight for a win (playoffs????) Sure they can score but when the going gets tough they get diving. That doesn't win you hockey games. So yes I don't respect them nor do I want them on my team.
Comparing them to Mcgrattan is idiotic he's not supposed to carry a team. He plays a role and does what is asked of him. He doesn't dive or act like an idiot. He goes out and tries his best, he may not be very good but at least he tries.
The sisters disappear the moment things get physical. Also keeping your consecutive games streak going by going out for a 15 second shift to start the game and calling it quits after that is also extremely idiotic and hurts the teams chances at winning.

Sesito beat mcgratten? Lol
January 20 2014, 02:27PM
I actually disagree. I think the Sedins get a pretty raw deal when it comes to their actual, instead of perceived work ethic, strength, and toughness - those guys are actually pretty tough competitors. They don't mix it up after the whistle, but that's not really necessary, and usually leads to some pretty funny hi-jinx. For example, this hilarious turn of events. As was pointed out during the game in question, the style of game the Sedins play (low cycle in the corner) is some of the most physically taxing play in hockey. I'll agree with you on some of the other suspects past and present, although I happen to like Bieksa as well (heresy, I know).
I also agree on the "ironman" streak bit too. That kind of crap is periphery - it certainly isn't gospel, or important in any way.
January 20 2014, 02:43PM
not really, but thankfully that's pretty rare on our team.
First of all, I take issue with using "player selection" in the title of your article, which strongly suggests a comparison between Hartley and Ron Rolston, who was fined for "player selection" in the pre-season. That was a completely different situation. It wasn't the first faceoff. He sent a goon out to attack one of his opponents stars because he wanted revenge for a fight that occurred previously in the game.
I'm not going to pretend Hartley wasn't spoiling for a goon-fight. You don't start the game with your goon-squad if you aren't. However, Torts wanted it too. If he didn't want a fight, he had numerous options. He had four bloody lines to choose from, and three of them could have outplayed what Hartley put on the ice. He choose his goons. He could have instructed his goons that they were, under no circumstances, to accept a challenge to fight. They'd have looked like pussies but the Flames would have started the game with a penalty. Torts did no such thing. He sent his goons out there with implicit orders to do what goons do. Fight. He also sent out a rookie, which suggests he doesn't like that rookie very much, but whatever.
He clearly wasn't expecting a full line-brawl, and that's why he was probably so incensed after it happened. He must have thought Hartley sent his goon squad out with orders to not just start one fight, but five of them! If you ignore 20/20 hindsight and consider what's likely to happen if you send a line out with orders to start a 10 player brawl, you'll rapidly realize Torts assumption was utterly idiotic. One goon fight was intended by both sides. The brawl was spontaneous.
Now, no matter how angry you are, NHL coaches are generally expected to be above charging into their opponents dressing room looking for a physical confrontation. Torts owes a lot to McGrattan, one of the very goons he professes to despise, for first keeping him out of the dressing room (where he would have been gang-pummeled) and then stopping Clint Malarchuk from going after him. Malarchuk might not be a man-mountain, but he is one tough SOB. The goons had more class than Torts that day!
You must have loved the dive Giordano took grabbing Kassian's stick then.
Pretty terrible, wasn't it? I at first thought Kassian must have had his stick up past Giordano's waist and Giordano just chicken winged it, but it's pretty clear from the reply that Kassian's stick was down at Giordano's knees/thighs and Giordano grabs it, pulls it up, then flops backwards to draw the call.
January 20 2014, 04:37PM
Anyone who argues the Flames and Hartly weren't out to fight, go watch the replay of the start of the whole line brawl.
Bieksa cleanly wins the face off. Why? Westgarth doesn't even try to win it, and just jumps straight on Bieksa.
If that doesn't show you that he's just looking for a fight (and the Canucks aren't), I don't know what does.
Who are all the people who are posting on here? Tons of names that I have never seen before. I guess the game must have been entertaining.
I think Torts did ever thing right but the hall way nonsense. H Sedin has something wrong with his ribs and Burrows is coming off a broken jaw. That's who Calgary lined their 2 toughest players against. That would send alarms off for me.
January 20 2014, 06:28PM
15 days or 6 games all because of what was caught on video.
I've got the same setup in my van.
January 20 2014, 08:33PM
oh so the capitals willingly sent out players to literally ASSAULT someone else. thats cool!
I was wondering why so many teams hate the Canucks, Chi, Bos, now Flames, soon the Oilers. Classless and cheapshot with that clown Kassian after he broke Gagner jaws then taunt him last game. Somebody beat the snot out of him Tue game please.

I think when teams have some success then they turn into a polarizing. I don't think people pay much mind to the Flames until Hartley pulled that BS move last Sat. Welcome to the Brian Burke mind-set. Little success and lots of penalty minutes.
January 22 2014, 12:16PM
Off topic but on the same situation. I don't get why Everyone (Cherry PJStock VanMedia)was so high on commending Bieksa for his leadership in the situation in protecting the rookie Lain.
Are you freaking kidding me???!!!???
Bieksa heroes up to take the draw.Then when the puck is dropped he refuses to engage with Westgarth. Instead, Bieksa beelines it to Smid and decides that who he wants to fight. Guess who Lain partners up with anyways without "Big Bro Bieksa" lookin out for him -- Yup Westgarth.
I noticed that too. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to bring this up. As Canuck players go I like him more than most on that team but found it hilarious how he ditched Westgarth for Smid. Looked like Smid handled himself alright.

Spring is here, regardless of Staten Island Chuck's prediction. But don't go rolling down the windows and dropping the rag top on the car just yet. Nothing welcomes the warm weather like allergies. Here are a few tips to save your sinuses and your productivity at work.
If you drive to work, your car is your second home. It's been estimated that people average up to 15 hours a week in their car each week. So the next time you take your car in for a tune-up, have your cabin air filters inspected. If you want to save a few bucks, take a look in your owner's manual on how to do it yourself. It's fairly easy to change and it makes a world of difference in air quality.
Plants are great for the home and office; they keep the air clean and fresh. But like all other plants, they take their orders from Mother Nature and blossom. Bring them outside for a week or two and wash all surfaces in your home or office to remove any residual pollen.
Wear a mask while spring cleaning your office or home. Dust, dust mites and
pollen get kicked around when cleaning and vacuuming. Use a wet towel to reduce airborne pollutants from traveling. At home, flip your mattress and clean under the bed.
While you're doing the office spring cleaning, put the air filtration and air conditioning systems on your to-do list as well. They'll run more efficient and increase efficiency in your employees.
Even though you may want to open windows to let in the spring air, keep them closed. This will limit pollen making its way into your home or office. Pollen can travel long distances and the levels in the air can vary from day-to-day. They tend to be highest from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Sometimes, something as simple as washing your hands and face can make a world of difference in relieving itchy, burning eyes and sneezing. When you get home change and wash your clothes; pollutants cling to clothes just as well as dirt. Use saline drops to rinse pollen from your eyes and gargle with mouthwash to rinse the back of your throat.
If you're really suffering, there are a number of over-the-counter (OTC) medications that can ease your symptoms. But just because it's OTC, still means consult your physician. Your doctor will recommend the best course of action and maybe recommend an allergist. If you have been prescribed medications, start them early and build up your resistance.
Taking these steps can lead to a great spring season. Spending a day safely spring cleaning will save you boxes of tissues and more time to enjoy the weather.

That's right, a second blog in as many days.
To set this up I have to reveal a few things about myself. I am a horror junkie. That's right, in addition to a sci-fi and gaming nerd, I also really enjoy horror movies and the grotesque in general. And I enjoy them on a number of levels. The "make your date jump" type of "shock/scare" movies are fun in a way, but I often find them severely lacking in any kind of substance. I can place most of those in the same category that one does the overdone "campy" genre films that are as much about laughs as they are about scares. Don't get me wrong, those things have true entertainment value and are fun if you are in the right mood. What I'm talking about today is different though. I'm talking about genuine horror today, calculating and merciless terror. These are the things that actually scare even me, and that's really tough to do because of the level of de-sensitizing I have from exposing myself to such things for years and years. So, some really frightening things ahead.
Continue if you dare…
"The Watcher in the Woods." Uncle Walt Disney should have been shot for this one. This so-called "Disney" movie was easily responsible for screwing up a pretty large number of kids over the years. And I wouldn't want it any other way. I saw this movie when I was about 7 or 8 and it scared the crap out of me. Nostalgia wise it can still get to me a little. 2 things stand out about TWitW. 1st, it's the casting. Everyone does a great job in this movie, but the woman playing the creepy old lady… has the "Betty Davis Eyes." Oh wait, it WAS Betty Davis, and she made the creepy factor push all the way to up 11. Second (and this is a common thread in all of these "truly frightening" things) it never showed you what you were afraid of. Step one in overcoming fear… is IDENTIFYING what it is that is making you afraid. When you can't see it… YOU CAN NEVER GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF IT. TV and movie writers need to have that tattooed on their foreheads, because showing the monster or bad guy too soon is one of the first mistakes they make. A person's own imagination crafts the worst horror, and when shown the reality of the situation it is almost always a little bit of a letdown.
Cthulhu Mythos. This would be the exception to the above rule. H.P. Lovecraft theorized that there was a horror BEYOND what the human mind could comprehend. A terror so great that just a glimpse at the enormity of it would drive a man completely insane. And that was the very basis for a large number of his stories. And "Lovecraftian" themes outlived him and are stand-up examples of horror to this day provided that the author is good enough. The upshot of that… you don't have to go back to early 20th century literature to find a good Cthulhu like scare. Some good examples; (and fun if you are like me and like a good scare) John Carpenter's "In the Mouth of Madness," the artwork of H.R. Giger, and the black and white silent film adaptation of "The Call of Cthulhu," which was filmed in 2005 and is really awesome. Some new internet memes are also kind of Lovecraftian and scary. Like "The Slender Man." If you want to, watch the video here. Also Lovecraftian is the Silicon Knights video game "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem." A game that actually does its very best to try and make the player think that they are losing their mind. I'm pretty sure that it didn't work on me, but I'm also pretty sure it did.
Huh? Well anyway…
In the video game world the best of the "true horror" type tales is that of Silent Hill. There are a number of installments in the world of Silent Hill, but I'd suggest that the best is "Silent Hill 2." Although it is a game with a number of technical faults, the one thing that it does (and better than most other games) is mood and atmosphere. The hero of the story, James Sunderland, has come to the town of Silent Hill after getting a letter from his wife telling him to meet her there. Which he does despite the fact that his wife died of cancer 2 years prior. In "Silent Hill 2" one gets the feeling that it's not anything but the town itself and perhaps even James' own mind is the true villain of the piece. The streets of Silent Hill are mist filled and quiet. And those people that you on rare occasions come across don't seem to be reacting to the same reality that James is seeing. Creating the idea that either they are all crazy… or YOU are. It's a video game that could leave you feeling desolate and totally alone even if you were playing it in a room full of people doing Jell-O shots.
By the way, if you did go to youtube to watch "the Slender Man" video... it's all fake. I know it looked kind of well researched and real, but it's fake. It was an attempt to "create" folklore that went viral on the internet. And was pretty successful.
Do I even have to say "It." The book is bad enough, but the mini-series adaption of Stephen King's "It," is truly one of the most frightening things anyone could watch. Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown… just thinking about it is enough to scare anyone.
Down here they all float, Georgie.
Book wise, check out "Phantoms" by Dean Koontz. They made a movie out of it, but it was really stinky. Did not do the book justice at all. Short stories by Steven King are usually better than his long form novels, and you get a lot of them in his collections like "Night Shift" and "Nightmares and Dreamscapes." And classically, you can't go wrong with Poe. Try reading "The Raven" sometime when you are all alone at night in an empty space, usually alive with people, but sullen and desolate when un-populated. Kind of like me when I get here to work at KNSS at midnight. While I ponder weak and weary over daily news stories galore. Suddenly I hear a rapping, as if someone gently tapping, tapping on my studio door…
But seriously, Poe is one of the reasons I'm like I am today (i.e. not normal or so screwed up.) His fault, and the person who thought an illustrated version of "The Masque of the Red Death" would make a great children's book. A drawing of Prince Prospero's guests bleeding from every orifice like they got a weaponized version of super Ebola makes a permanent impression on the mind of a 6 year old.
Reading is fun.
And from all of us here at Steve and Ted in the Morning… Have a safe and fun Halloween.

Posted on 09/30/2013 9:37:55 AM PDT by SeekAndFindEdited on 09/30/2013 9:38:32 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Its not hard to understand why people are so excited about Pope Francis. Since his sensational interview last week, many have said that with his personal warmth and determination to put doctrine in the background, Francis is just the man to bring a lot of fallen-away Catholics back into the church.
(Excerpt) Read more at ideas.time.com ...
I doubt that this journo-list ever accepted the teachings of the Church, so why does he talk about going back?
Don't let the exit door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Somehow, I think the Catholic Church can survive without you.
Right there's what an ignorant comment looks like.
I don't think he is wishing for the demise of the Catholic Church.
I'm there only for the teachings of the Church (and salvation, of course), not the current pope, not the current liturgy.
Uh, yea..........I think that pretty much goes without saying after reading the article.
I can't stand this guy. He's such a windbag.
Did anyone read the actual article? He's basically complaining that the Catholic churches he has attended preach nothing but "God is love" with no emphasis on sin and repentance. He said that the subject of one of the lenten homilies he heard was that "Lent is time in which we should love ourselves more". Sounds to me like he has much to complain about.
I agree with Mr. Dreher. Many parishes have reduced Catholicism to feel-good drivel.
Too bad Mr. Dreher didn't attend a Traditional Latin Mass parish. There, he would have found what he needs.
Rod Dreher is actually a religious person. He was Catholic;and, he made a difficult decision some years ago to leave the Roman Catholic Church and, I believe, he joined the Greek Orthodox Church. He is a believer; but, he seems to have some problems with the direction of the Church. I really, really doubt that Rod Dreher is a "journo-list". His religiosity would make him anathema to the lefty "journo-listers".
He is searching for his place of comfort to worship God and Jesus. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as one's religious needs are so very personal. But, he is a believer in God and Christ.
I agree. I don't go to Mass or not go to Mass because of who the Pope is.
It's not just catholicism.
For the most part, the church in this county is dead.
Little more than a social club that meets between one and three times a week.
The rest of the week, nobody stays in touch, nobody helps anybody in need. Oh, some of them might visit the prisons or soup kitchens, but, by and large, the church is dead.
There are a few pockets of genuine church life here and there, but they are far and few between.
Since Pope Francis became Pope, I'm hearing more talk and higher volume talk on sin; we are all sinners; this is exactly why we need the saving Grace of God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Following the teaching of the Catholic Church is itself repentance. Being a devout Catholic is not easy, at least not over the long term.
I'm glad someone as important as you are was nice enough to announce this to all of us little people, so we wouldn't be ignorant of your epoch-making musings on theology.
Please keep us updated.
Gee Rod...that really tears me up but I'm sure I'll get over it.
My mom does this. She'll get mad at "the church" for this or that. She'll say "I'm done."
It's always bothered me. What gives her the right to think any of it is about her? Being a Catholic is just as much a part of who I am as being Italian, or Polish, or American, or a girl. I was born that way, and I'll die that way, regardless of what happens in the short time I am around.
I named my little guy after Pope John Paul, but I love Pope Francis, just I loved Pope Benedict. I wish people would be a little less judgemental and just see him for the simple and loving man he is.
I am quite convinced that he was wrong to leave the Catholic Church, but I nevertheless consider him eminently worth listening to.
No one can improve you as much as an unsparing, intelligent critic who loves you.
Sigh. The male Peggy Noonan, bless his earnest heart.
....There is, of course, no such thing as the perfect church, but in Orthodoxy, which radically resists the moralistic therapeutic deism that characterizes so much American Christianity, I found a soul-healing balance. In my Russian Orthodox country mission parish this past Sunday, the priest preached about love, joy, repentance, and forgiveness in all its dimensions.
Rod Dreher ping for later
Read the article? Oh, come on. He makes his living writing and has a bit of minor celebrity to boot.
Either one of those things means he's an idiot and probably evil, too, so I can dismiss anything he writes without even skimming it.
Rod converted to Catholicism around the time when the homosexual abuse scandals broke. It was just too much for him and he moved on to Orthodoxy.
At one time I was on a small private email list with him and several others (which included several FReepers) and he really struggled. Rod is a good man and is truly faithful but his roots were not deep enough in Catholicism to keep him in Rome. I don't blame him for moving on but I don't agree with his decision. If the Orthodox had not caved on barrier methods in the 1970s and divorce and remarriage, there was a time in my own life where I could easily have swum the Bosporus.
The author's experience is not unique, people attend a church looking for they know not what, only that they don't find what they seek. They don't know how to recognize their hoped for destination, Christ's church, so how can they know what to look for?
:Dreher: Pope Francis only confirms my decision to leave the Catholic Church. A HARD look at where we are.
There is an intense piece by Rod Dreher over at TIME. The whole thing is worth a close look, but here are some longish samples.
NB: While I disagree with Drehers decision to leave the Catholic Church, I sure understand how he got to that point and I have to agree with a great deal of what he says about the squishy, formless pabulum Catholics have been fed for decades. Dreher, offering a salutary warning, also makes a connection between the destructive spirit of Vatican II and its potential replacement, a spirit of Francis.
There has been both lavish (nearly irrational) praise of Pope Francis and there has been harsh (nearly irrational) criticism of Pope Francis. I dont agree with everything that Dreher wrote here (of course I usually only agree entirely with myself), but I havent seen the points he makes put so eloquently.
While Drehers look at The Francis Effect may make you squirm a little, will any of you be willing to disagree with his vivisection of the American Church? When he talks about the effects of the spirit of Vatican II, doesnt he hit the nail square on?
We need this kind of hard-nosed, cool introspection. ...
When I want a cafeteria I drive to the nearest Luby's.
I don't recall reading anything "hard-nosed and cool" by Rod Dreher, ever. I compared him to Peggy Noonan because his great sweeps of emotion as if they were researched and reasoned, rather than felt and projected.
This has nothing to do with how he feels about Pope Francis. It's my opinion, as a reader, on everything I have read from Rod Dreher, from the early 1990s to today.
That is, "... he presents his great sweeps of emotion ...". A child distracted me while I was being critical.
Yep. I came to traditionalism reluctantly...especially since I grew up in fairly good parishes.
Now our family drives 1 hour to get to a Latin Mass parish, and 1 hour back. Because of illnesses, I have in the last month or so had to fulfill my Sunday obligation at the local parish.
I seriously cannot stand going to the latter anymore. It makes me want to pull my hair out. Squishy formless pabulum is right...and what makes it all the more infuriating is that the average Catholic doesn't even have any idea what we have lost.
Actually the author's point is not what Francis is saying but what those with sinister motives will "interpret" him to say. The "Spirit of Francis" will come to replace the Spirit of Vatican 2 as a rationale to "open the windows" and let in some fresh air.
He talks about the still incomplete work of JPII and BXVI being undone not by Francis but by those who think that only they know what he means.
I actually agree with many of this points.
They have been Osteened...
The church is to preach the gospel of course, but one of its primary roles is to hold members accountable, encouraging them to move closer every day to sanctification.
Give the article a read before you dump on Dreher.
His example of the tolerance of homosexual pedophiles in the priesthood, rather than condemnation and punishment, has a parallel in the bishops' push for amnesty.
These bishops rant on with "God is love" drivel about illegals. When did you ever hear these bishops condemn the illegals' violations of the legitimate and just laws on immigration? When did you hear these bishops condemn the illegals' theft of other innocents' identities and jobs? Those are "sins", and the bishops should be condemning them.
No, it's just "God is love" drivel about illegal immigrants being children of God. No, your Excellencies, they are invaders and criminals, violating the laws and homes and possessions of innocent people. Wait till a million illegal muslims take squatters' possession of the Vatican and tell me about God is love to them.
Read the article. He states that he never accepted what the faith demanded, yet faulted his teachers (sounds like Northeastern feel good university Catholics) for not pointing out forcifully what was demanded.
So, if by his own admission, he never accepted the requirements of Catholicism, how can he talk about returning to Catholicism?
As for myself, I consider myself to be a "faithful" Catholic which means I follow the traditional Christian precepts and the church Magisterium.
Re: Pope Francis: Almost weekly I look at the internet for news of the day and I read something or other that Pope Francis has said that literally knocks me off of my comfort zone. Then I read what PF actually said in its entirety, and I realize that: 1)he is not stating anything more than what is in the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and 2) if he is making me a bit uncomfortable, then maybe I need to reorganize my beliefs a bit. Maybe I am too proud, or too aloof from the poor, or not penitent and humble enough. So, I think Pope Francis is doing OK, so far.
All good Christians need to be humble and generous at heart. The Sermon on the Mount comes to mind about the "poor in spirit".
>>Did anyone read the actual article? <<
LOL I come to FR for the comments of course. And it's priceless to see the writer of the article get bashed for something he didn't say/mean. The writer seems like he was lamenting the problems in the Church. I don't get the sense he's hating on them. So why are you guys hating on this guy? Do you not agree with him that the topic of sin and repentance is being whitewashed? Do you prefer a church that just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy? Or did you just not read the whole article? I'm just asking!
This guy is full of himself. If he wanted to find a Catholic Church he could feel good about attending he needed to look a little harder. The Church I attend has one parish priest and THREE deacons and all preach the sanctity of life, the sacrament of marriage and loving your neighbor. Two of the deacons give better homilies than the priest. One was ordained 32 years ago and is a conservative they come. He is a fellow Knight of Columbus, as are the other two deacons and the priest, who supports the Knights 1000%, and we are 150 man strong, and it's not a big parish, only consisting of one Church.
Well, you're a better man than me since you still go (or maybe just have a higher threshold for induced insanity?). I can't observe an "obligation" to attend what I sincerely believe to be a demonically-inspired change in liturgy. Fortunately for my soul, I'm excused on the basis of N.O. attendance being a danger to my faith. Even more fortunately there is a Tridentine Mass offered on alternate weekends nearby.
God has also admonished us to fear Him.
RE: how can he talk about returning to Catholicism?
Was he baptized Catholic? If so, he is talking about returning ( or in his case, not returning ) in THAT sense.
RE: LOL I come to FR for the comments of course. And its priceless to see the writer of the article get bashed for something he didnt say/mean.
I tried to post the standard 300 word limit provided by FR, but my post was CUT by the mods to a single short paragraph for the reason that TIME magazine must be excerpted.
So, People MUST read the article before commenting or they'll be attacking a strawman.
Yes. He calls it the beginning of wisdom.
"I am quite convinced that he was wrong to leave the Catholic Church, but I nevertheless consider him eminently worth listening to."
Gotta disagree with you there.
Rod is a drama queen, pure and simple.
He was a bit of an embarrassment when he was Catholic. I can't say I don't harbor a little secret joy that he's unburdened us with his departure.
Guess I'll just have to pray him back into the Church, no thanks to you! :op
At the risk of Jesuit casuistry, I only know that for *me* to miss Mass for that reason would be a sin—but that of course assumes a somewhat grating but not heinously offensive Mass. Others' mileage may vary.
It is truly demonic. I can't stand the architecture of these churches anymore....where they throw a couple of statues up somewhere as a mere sop to some some pretense of Catholicism, when meanwhile the whole focus of the structure is on itself "Look at me! I'm an interesting building!" rather than on the altar/tabernacle.
Do you pray for hurricanes, too?
Gusts of up to 100?

With the temperature below freezing this morning and frost still on the grass, I began a slow-cooking batch of that classic New England comfort food, baked beans. The recipe I follow most often, from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, is a sweet, mild mix of beans, winter vegetables, molasses, mustard, allspice, and dark rum (I keep a bottle on hand for just these occasions; it makes me feel like a pirate). Sometimes, if I'm in a cowboy mood, I use a recipe for Smokey Maple Baked Beans from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook, with lots of chipotle, jalapeno, and syrup. I especially like them poured over a naturally gluten-free baked potato.
This evening, for the first time since April, I needed mittens to walk the dogs. Nothing warms me up from the inside out like a bowl of hot baked beans.
Do you have a favorite baked bean recipe?

Skip to comments.Michelle Obama sponsors first-ever ALL-FEMALE nuclear submarine
Posted on 06/03/2014 8:51:52 AM PDT by QT3.14
First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state that will be staffed by an all-female crew.
The White House has announced that Mrs Obama has accepted an invitation to be the backer of the USS Illinois, a Virginia-class submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut, and Newport News, Virginia.
The new nuclear-powered boat is expected to join the fleet in late 2015.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Virginia PMS-Class sub?
Will the crew be condemed to being fed Moochelle's school lunch program?
Now we know why they started assigning females to sub crews.
Carol Burnett Star Trek Spoof........
she has lost her last brain cell and she is not president
How much does a sponsorship cost? I wonder if it was first offered to Tampons?
Just damn.
That's the proposed name for the sub.
Don't tell her she ain't the *resident.
It should be called the "MOby Dickless."
This incredibly generous of her. I didn't know the Obama's had the money to sponsor, i.e., pay for, a nuclear submarine. Must cost in the billions. Moochelle just gives and gives.
Leftists for segregation PING!
Just wow at the foolishness. I assume they are going to have robots to do the heavy lifting.
U.S.S. Lesbos
OMG! The jokes will be endless!
Canned Tuna...
To be named after Monica Lewinsky who gave a lot for this country when she went down on a president.
SSN Vagina. or SSN T&A.
No seamen on that sub.
A powered metal object, long, hard and without seamen and can go deep for days.... Hilary's dream come true.
Six years ago the USA was on top of the world.
Now the entire world thinks we're insane clowns.
The USS Mad Cow!
So now the Navy is segregating by gender?
I don't know what is happening in other branches of the service, but in the Coast Guard, white males face a four year waiting list for enlistment. If you are a female, Black, or Hispanic, no problem.
An all female crew on a sub-— even Israel doesn't do this.
Just imagine (like in the dormitory study) when all the
menstruating crew synchronize their cycles.
SSN PMS Illinois. Tomahawks away!!
This idea is ridiculous, and is of a design to place Academy grads into line command in areas they CANNOT match performance with males. The jobs do require physical upper body strength, in maintenance,fire control, and many other areas including combat. Stupid good ship lollipop thinking.
The Silent Service cannot remain silent on this...certainly they will no longer be silent on patrol.
It's not a video game at 600 feet. Recall the "command" of one real dyke Lt. Commander of an Aegis Class ship— she was completely nuts. And retired early at full retirement-.
It continues.
Deo Vindice.
Would she even fit in a submarine?
Interesting to watch — Get some popcorn
That was hilarious. I discovered that one a while back.
Hope the heads are designed for synchronization.
This should interesting...considering the way women tend to move in little clicks that wind up getting into cat fights over the littlest slight or wrong look...
Just wait until they start cycling at the same time and are too bloated or cramping to work...
Hot bunking should be interesting since women tend to be a bit anal about where and how their beds are made....
The ladies will need big torpedoes to qualify for crew.
USS not bossy.
yeah, and normally they're filled with seamen...
Oops....looks like she's losing the lunch wars so is making the pivot into sexual battles. These people are beyond sick.
My herd of cows all go into estrus at the same time. They synchronize. Bring a new cow into the herd and she falls in synch with the rest of the herd. Makes things easy for the bulls.
Don't know why I said that, guess I was just thinking about cows.
USS Hagfish.
Haven't heard that but no surprise.
Add a battery and it is a big azz deep sea vibrator for mutha Earth. Again a dirt worshiper wiccan dream. Will they sail sky-clad?
So, what would be the female equivalent of a "Crazy Ivan"?
Send the USS Fe-Mallie on a good will tour to Saudia Arabia and Iran.
They're both terrific liberty ports.....
uss pms?
uss bitch-on-wheels?
uss lesbos?
uss we can do anything better than men?
I kept on looking for the satire tag on the article but couldn't find it. Yeah, I know in ordinary training you have to seal a leak in a compartment that is flooding with the water pouring in at high pressure. But since it is an all female crew, I guess they will just waive that requirement ( just as they did for the female marines that couldn't do one pull up ) .
Red Tide Rising?
Crimson and Clover and Mushroom Clouds?
We All Live in a Lesbian Submarine?
Put in another context, a 2.7 billion dollar AFIRMATIVE ACTION plan to appease the feminist. Now the All American Amazon Fleet can go out and spread diversity around the world. A joy to behold. s/
Typicall ship board warning in such a case is " Down Ladder! Make a hole!"
That junk trunk would be a really hard fit, with needed rotation down ladder and all.
it had better be built with extra space for all of the toilet paper and d cell batteries that a female uses. will this be a guided missile class sub

Vendor booths filled the floor with products allowing local shoppers to browse for various items such as guns, jewelry, and honey.
Along with the opportunity to add to their collections, another main attraction led people to the event- a meet and greet with Gator Queen Liz from the History Channel's "Swamp People."
The line was long to meet the Gator Queen, but she took her time with every introduction.
Many people brought multiple pictures and various items for Liz to autograph.
She was grateful for the support.
"I feel so welcome and right at home. St. Joseph is wonderful, there's wonderful people out here," Liz said.
There were plenty of tables with outdoor knick-knacks to occupy people while they waited in line.
The show will be open again Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Civic Arena.

Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
The Gospel according to Mark 9:2-9
At that time, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son; listen to him." And suddenly, looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

CEO, Lovelace Health System. "Southwest Medical Associates is one of the
premier medical groups in our community with high quality physicians who focus
on offering true personal care and short wait times. The practice is
established, extremely popular and successful."

practice will continue to recruit and retain exceptional physicians, midlevel
providers and staff, and it will allow us to continue to provide
state-of-the-art care to our patients."
This acquisition launches a new physician model for Lovelace: a hybrid network
of employed, strategically aligned and community physicians who are all valued
and all working together to serve patients in an integrated system.
"We are committed to developing strong and lasting relationships with
physicians – regardless of whether we employ them or are affiliated with them
in any other way," added Stern. "These bonds are crucial to serving patients
with quality clinical care and excellent customer service and to the success of
our system."
Southwest Medical Associates physician Thomas Gross, M.D., agreed that the new
relationship with Lovelace creates opportunity for innovative service and
want to be a part of an integrated system," Gross said. "It allows us to
provide better coordination, improved communication and patient flow. It just
enhances the personal care that we've always offered

Sparkle vamp Robert Pattinson says there will be a fourth Twilight movie; the plot of the book Breaking Dawn will come to the big screen. What does this mean?To the uninitiated, (SPOILER) this creepy story involves young Bella being pregnant with a vampire baby that eats its way out of her uterus... Fun times! Vampires are dead, right? So how can they be born? Or have sperm to impregnate? Oh, that's right: SPARKLES. [The Hollywood Reporter] One of Robert Pattinson's bodyguards pushed a paparazzo into a trash can at Cannes. [Gatecrasher]Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez had dinner and drinks in Manhattan Friday night. It's so on. [People]Rihanna and rapper Drake: Really, really on. [Page Six]Sarah Jessica Parker is concerned for the safety and well-being of the surrogate carrying her twins: "She's had friends threatened and family threatened and she's had family of friends threatened," SJP says. Plus, the woman's phone and computer have been tapped/hacked. [USA Today]Gay bashing alert: A young woman was attacked at a party where Samantha Ronson DJ'd, and Sam says it was "simply for being gay." She writes: "NO ONE should have to suffer any sort of attack, verbal or physical, for any reason." Warning: She links to a picture of the victim's face, and the damage is terrible. [MySpace, Twitpic]The documentary about Amy Winehouse — Saving Amy — may reveal that the singer is struggling with anorexia, alcohol, and her parents. [Daily Mail]If you want to see what Michael Jackson looks like these days — without a face mask — go ahead and click. [Daily Mail]Property improvements! Brad Pitt is building a new pool cabana and deck on his Malibu estate, which is up for sale. If you have $18 million, you can get a lovely home, pool, tennis courts, and neighbors like Cindy Crawford and Leo DiCaprio. Any takers? [LA Times]Here's a first review of Brad Pitt's latest, Inglorious Basterds. Derek Malcolm calls it "absurd, overlong and mostly cardboard version of World War II." The script "places its actors in the unenviable position of appearing either melodramatic, farcical or just plain dull." And "there are some decent moments but they are few and far between." [This Is London]Ellen had No Doubt come to her show and overbooked the studio by 500 people — leaving hundreds in the heat and sun for hours, even though they had tickets. Feeling hella bad. [Perez]Shawn Johnson says Dancing With The Stars changed her life, and that her dancing partner brought out her personality. "And I've loved every second of it." [E!]A neighbor says Jon and Kate of Plus 8 fame are only together for the TLC paychecks. "A lot of people around town say that's what their relationship has been about for a while." [MSNBC Scoop]Paula Abdul was asked if all four judges would be returning to American Idol next season, and replied, "Tune in!" [LA Times]A reporter to Hugh Hefner: "Would you let Lindsay Lohan play for Playboy?" Hef: "Who?" Reporter: "Lindsay Lohan." Hef cluelessly looks to his young girlfriend, who says, "Lindsay Lohan?" Hef, still looking confused, says, "Sure." Its on video. [Radar Online]In this video, Katy Perry talks about her religious parents: "They're very much cool." And: "My mom's isn't the rock-n-roller pot-smoking debutant that she was, and my dad's not the acid dealer with long hair anymore." Plus, she says doing a second record will be good, because "It'll show that either I got lucky or that I was meant to do this." [Rolling Stone]Years before Jay Leno nabbed a primetime spot, NBC was asking Oprah and Letterman to try it. [Variety]George Clooney will star in a flick called A Very Private Gentleman, playing an assassin who who protects his cover by hiding out in an Italian town. Is it even fiction? Can't you picture Cloons having a secret identity? [Yahoo News via E!]Looks like Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl will definitely be in Footloose; and now he may be joined by Miley Cyrus. The world is a strange and mysterious place. [E!, The Hollywood Reporter]Paris Hilton has been trying to get paid to appear at nightclubs in Cannes; a source says: "They aren't about to pay her. It's not 2002." [Page Six]Seven words you didn't want to hear this morning: "Jennifer Love Hewitt to relaunch singing career." [NME]Jesus, there is still major drama going on in Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford's divorce and custody battle. Rutherford has filed legal papers asking the judge to bar her ex from taking their 2-year-old son Hermes home — until the dad kid-proofs the pool and play areas. [TMZ]In this video, Charlotte Gainsbourg, who stars in Lars von Trier's Antichrist — the one with the genital mutilation — defends the film and Von Trier against the charge that he hates and exploits women. [Guardian]Another day, another Slumdog Millionaire child star's home destroyed. This time it was the living quarters of little Rubina Ali. [Yahoo News via AP]Sienna Miller wants a rose named after her, so somebody had better get on that. [Daily Express]Do you care if Vanessa Minnillo is still with Nick Lachey or not? This report says she was seen "acting single." Because she was drinking and dancing in a club. [Page Six]Colin Firth says he was well-versed in Noel Coward's work long before he signed on to star in Easy Virtue, a film based on a Coward play. [UPI]Does Ryan Phillippe have a wandering eye? [Page Six]File under: Moms re-entering the workplace. Liz Hurley has been away from movies for five years — due to the birth of her son — but would like to come back: "I decided I couldn't do movies for a while, which was a huge decision for me because I actually love making movies more than anything," she says. If she could do a film that could work around her son's school holidays, she would "take it like a shot." [Telegraph]T-Mobile is bringing Catherine Zeta-Jones back to its ads. [Business Insider via WSJ]Interesting: Chris Pontius of Jackass fame will appear in the new Sofia Coppola film, Somewhere. [The Hollywood Reporter]It's hard to read this story about actor Rip Torn's probation for DUI, because his 2006 mug shot is so LOL. [Yahoo News via AP]Blind item! "Which wanna-be rocker had to take a trip to the emergency room because he went to sleep with his contacts in?" [Gatecrasher]"It is all going well and I know I am very happy right now. I want the happy ever after ending. I've definitely changed. I'm just letting things happen and seeing what does. In so many ways I am behind the mark for my age. I'm not married and I don't have children but my attitude now is that things may happen or they may not but just be happy." — Kylie Minogue, who has been dating this sweet piece of man candy for seven months. [Daily Mail]"I'm doing a speech about the situation with AIDS in America basically, and how we need to address what's going on. We seem to be falling a little behind in America. I find this disease very cyclical. Every 10 years or so, after we spend a lot of money trying to educate people — a new generation of people — and we tell them to have safe sex and to abstain sometimes but have safe sex, wear condoms, we find that after 10 years another whole group of people come along. And we have to start all over again, which is really, really frustrating because it takes money for education. And we find that if we could get into the schools at a grass-roots levels, which we do in places like Africa where we get to kids at a young age and we tell them about preventive measures for not getting HIV, we find the success rate is tremendous." — Elton John. [CNN]"I just hope it will go away, after a little bit of time. I hope I'm not naïve in thinking that's possible. I don't want to be a part of it. I can't seem to navigate a way of doing that, of actually telling the truth of events that happened without feeling I'm encouraging the whole gossip notion." — Christian Bale on his rant. [USA Today]"I don't want us to split up. I love my husband, but I can't sit around crying. This is a new story and a new chapter in my life. Pete is the love of my life and I am so sad and upset by his decision to separate and divorce me as I married him for life. This is not what I want, but the decision was taken out of my hands." — Katie "Jordan" Price. [Telegraph]"'Hot' has become a euphemism for all things positive, making it generally acceptable to use to describe everything from a jalapeño to a drum solo. It's sort of a useful word. We don't have to think of appropriate adjectives for people, places, performances, tacos, or objects anymore as they all fit snugly under the glorious umbrella of 'hotness.' So I don't know how hot I am but I'm honored to be considered as warmer than the average taco." — Olivia Wilde, who is number one on Maxim's Hot List. She also says, "Michelle [Obama] will always be No. 1 on MY list." [The Daily Beast]Reply130 repliesLeave a reply

I don't know why I completely forgot about that fact since it did have such a unique smell. God, I can't wait till my Li Shan tea arrives!
So where did you end up ordering from?

Consider the allied health field of medical laboratory technology, a varied career path that involves looking at cells microscopically, cross-matching blood, performing chemical and molecular analysis, and looking at pathological disease states. It's a great and growing occupation for highly organized people who can perform the investigative-style research that helps unravel the mysteries of the human body.
Medical Laboratory Technology at a Glance
Looking for a quick overview of the Medical Laboratory Technology program? Take a look at Medical Laboratory Technology at a Glance for a short summary of what a medical laboratory technician does and the degrees and certificates offered at El Centro College.
What Does a Medical Laboratory Technician Do?
Medical laboratory technicians and clinical laboratory technicians — used as interchangeable terms — use advanced instrumentation and testing methods to perform a variety of complex chemical and analytical tests. MLTs and CLTs test patient specimens, performing hematological, immunological, chemical, transfusion-related, molecular and microbial analysis.
MLTs, who must have at least an associate degree, and medical laboratory scientists, who have earned a bachelor's degree, do about 75 percent of all patient care testing in a clinical setting and help pathologists and other physicians in making a diagnosis. MLTs help to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
The El Centro College Medical Laboratory Technology program can prepare you for this challenging career field. Our program is recognized locally and nationally for its outstanding faculty and student experience that includes class and lab instruction, field trips, clinical rotations and special-topic speakers.
Medical Laboratory Technology Associate Degree
El Centro College
Graduates of the Medical Laboratory Technology program earn the Medical Laboratory Technology Associate in Applied Sciences degree. The 60-credit-hour associate degree program blends science, liberal arts and technical courses in classroom and clinical settings.
Before you can apply for admission to the MLT program, you must first complete the 29-credit-hour Medical Laboratory Technology Core Curriculum, which includes general education and related health classes and can be completed in two semesters.
You can then apply for admission to the MLT program, which accepts students via a competitive selection process based on grade point average in the primary prerequisite courses. MLT courses begin in mid-May of each academic year. Over a 16-month period, you'll take lecture, lab and clinical course work.
When you graduate, you'll be eligible to take the Board of Certification exam to become licensed as a medical laboratory technician through the American Society for Clinical Pathology. Our students' pass rate on this exam is generally more than 90 percent each year, well above the national pass rate average.
Medical Laboratory Technicians vs. Clinical Laboratory TechniciansNote that you may hear the designation clinical laboratory technician used interchangeably with medical laboratory technician. The scope of practice for CLTs and MLTs is identical. However, the official CLT designation was granted by an agency that merged with ASCP in 2009, so only those technicians who took the CLT exam before the merger hold that credential.

The DPPIV-Glo™ Protease Assay is a homogeneous, luminescent assay that measures dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) activity. The assay provides a proluminescent DPPIV substrate, Gly-Pro-aminoluciferin, in a buffer system optimized for DPPIV and luciferase activities. Addition of the DPPIV-Glo™ Reagent results in DPPIV cleavage of the substrate and generation of a "glow-type" luminescent signal. The signal is proportional to the amount of DPPIV activity present.
