I Blew Up My TV
Killed it dead three years ago. When I called the satellite service to cancel, the man on the other end sounded incredulous and offended: You don't watch any TV? Not really, I said. Long pause, followed by sputtering: B-b-b-but that's un-American!
I don't miss TV. Except. The comedies:
I have 150 episodes of Seinfeld on videotape from when they first aired, sitting in my basement. I won't need to watch them for a while; they've been committed to memory.
Sheer sustained brilliance: The Larry Sanders Show, Sports Night.
Classic TV faves: The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Simpsons.
Recent mind-boggling discoveries on DVD: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Office.
I didn't grow up in the States and have never seen old shows like: MASH, Honeymooners, Brady Bunch, Soap, Sanford & Son, All In The Family, you-name-it. I have no idea which of these (or other old comedy shows) hold up well today.
I've never seen a single episode of: Sex & The City, Gilmore Girls, Six Feet Under, Freaks & Geeks, The O.C., Chappelle, The 70's Show, Daily Show.
About dramas. I used to watch a lot of these ten years ago but I get my drama fix just from movies these days (and Lord knows that movie queue is a mile and a half long). So, realistically speaking, I don't expect to be watching any TV dramas for a while.
So, here's my plea for help: I need recommendations for good comedy TV shows, old or new, on DVD. For which I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The annual Shed Hunt for Youth will take place on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Mark Twain Lake.
The annual Shed Hunt for Youth will take place on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Mark Twain Lake.
There will a chance for children of 2 years of age up to 12 years old to hone their shed hunting skills with a Kiddie Hunt along the new visitor center trail. Sheds will be placed along the trail to give youngsters an idea of what a real shed find feels like. Donations of antler sheds will be accepted at the M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center leading up to the event in order to insure each child can go home with a memento.
In the afternoon Feb. 23, older youth will get a chance to test their skills at finding sheds at a designated location. The lobby will be filled with informational booths from various groups on deer and other related outdoors topics throughout the day. Door prizes will be drawn for throughout the morning. The Monroe City Whitetails Unlimited Chapter will be providing a lunch of hot dogs, soup and chips. The event is free for all age groups, but pre-registration is required by 4 p.m. Feb. 8. Registration for the Kiddie Hunt will be limited to the first 125 callers.
The event is sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation and Whitetails Unlimited.

Boys and Girls Baptism gifts to treasure.
The sacrament of baptism wipes away original sin and initiates us into the Mystical Body of Christ. It is such a powerful and significant sacrament that many say the baptismal date should be remembered and celebrated every year! In baptism, we join with Christ in the "little death" of submersion in the water, so that we can be reborn as children of God and members of His Church. It is a sign we can see, that was begun when Jesus went into the Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. We celebrate baptism with images of Christ, candles, white garments and gifts for all those who participate. In this way, we honor the importance of joining in the kingdom of God. This sacrament gives us grace and strength for our spiritual lives. So let's celebrate!

Friday, July 06, 2012 - Street Hunting - Honza Baros - GONZO
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Our latest Streethunting scene takes place at the local nudist beach area at lake Lhota. The cameraman first finds a guy who is not in the naked area, but he isn't interested in getting naked for money. He then spies a guy stripping off and swimming. Going over to him he calls out and chats. The guy is Honza Baros and he comes out of the water for to speak to the cameraman. Honza is asked on his views about doing some photos naked, and sex for money. He says that he doesn't see anything wrong in it. He also says that he has had a girlfriend for the past 6 months. He is then offered some money to go into the woods, with the cameraman do so some shots. Honza takes the money and off they go. Once they have found a secluded spot the cameraman asks Honza so show him his muscles. Honza flexes his biceps and the cameraman reaches out to touch him. He feels the body and reaches down and grabs Honza's cock, through his shorts. The cameraman is very bold and suggests that Honza can have more money if he will fuck with him. Honza readily agrees. Asked if he has every sucked a cock before Honza says no. But when instructed he gets down onto his knees ready for it. The cameraman takes a hard cock out of his jeans and Honza takes it in his mouth. He begins to suck, under instruction, and the cameraman puts his hand on the back of Honza's head and begins to fuck his mouth. Honza sucks and licks the cock as the camera is close up on the action. Then he stands and pulls his cock out, with the cameraman taking hold of it and placing it next to his own. Then Honza's cock is wanked a bit before he is told to suck that big cock again. He obligingly goes back down on his knees and does it. Then he helps the cameraman off his with his jeans and underwear. Then he gets naked himself and wanks his cock to get it hard before being instructed to get down on his knees in doggy position. The cameraman is ready, with that rock hard cock and slips it into Honza's ass. He begins to fuck that ass and is eager to get in nice and deep. So he places the camera somewhere to film himself fucking and gets down on his knees for better access. That big dick goes deep into Honza's ass and, for his first time he takes it very well indeed. A change of position, into spoon, let's us see that the cameraman is actually Mirek Ceslar and he fuck Honza nice and slowly. After fucking for a while in that position Mirek lays on his back and Honza is told to sit on that cock and fuck himself with it. Honza really does it well, sliding up and down on that big pole. When he has had a nice ride on that cock Honza stands and wanks himself until his cock is hard. Then he bends over and leans on a tree to take Mirek's cock again. Then Honza lays back down on the towel and wanks himself some more. As he does so Mirek slips his dick in that ass again, and Honza shoots his load while he is being fucked. Mirek has more in store for Honza and positions him on his knees again. He wanks himself and dumps a huge load of cum into Honza's mouth and all over his face and hair. Honza finishes off by sucking on Mirek's spent cock. He is then told that Mirek can arrange more work for him if he coes in for a casting. What a lovely shoot, with Honza being a great sport and taking it all very well.
Radim Valovy is aged 26 and lives in Jicin. He works as a miner and likes girls, drink, footall and hockey. Radim looks great as he sits for his interview. In white shirt snd shorts he begins his show. His bulge is prominent and he begins to massage it. His hand slips under the waistband of the shorts and feels his cock. He soon pulls out a nice thick, hard cock and begins to wank. As he wanks a helping hand arrives and removes Radim's shirt, and begins feeling his body. The hands take some oil and drip it onto Honza's cock. That oil is soon wanked into the cock, making it glisten. The hands wank that cock, and then Honza does too as he shorts are removed. More oil is dripped onto Honza and rubbed into his body as the wanking continues. Honza's cock is very big and looks great as it is hard, with his balls looking great underneath it. He runs his hands over his body as the hands wank him. Honza turns over and gets up on his knees, with his ass spread as the hands pull that cock between his legs and wank it more. That ass looks great and a vibrator comes into play, sliding easily into the hole. It fucks in and out comfortably before a much larger one is brought into play. It also goes into the hole, stretching it nicely. After fucking that hole the vibrator comes out and we see the hole in all its glory. Radim turn over and wanks his cock as the first vibrator again fucks him. Then he is close to cumming and begins to wank himself fast and furiously, his balls nice and tight against the base of his shaft. Radim shoots his load over his belly and the helping hand rubs some of it in. Radim is then ready to shower and goes off to clean up, after a wonderful shoot.
25 years old Jan Mendel lives in Kurim. He is currently unemployed and likes sports and cycling. Jan is a great looking guy who we have already don a Czech Up with. Here we have his stills shoot. The setting for him is just right too, as he looks very fit as he poses for the camera. Naked to the waist we see a very good chest and when he shucks the shorts down we glimpse that cock, in its flaccid state. Next we are treated to a nice view of Jan's ass, and then his cock begins to get aroused. Soon it is fully hard and pointing skywards. But that isn't all, Jan lays down on the mats and lifts his legs in the air to show his ass again, with the cheeks well spread to let us see his hole. Having posed so we can feast our eyes on him Jan brings his shoot to an end with with push-ups.
Our Wank Party 2012 #4 was very popular when we posted it. Today we have a great backstage view of that shoot, with David Kadera, Roman Dittrich, Rado Viker, Milos Zamno and Martin Poupa, as well as all the crew working to bring a great shoot to life.

Circumcision is known to reduce a man's risk of HIV infection by at least half, but scientists don't know why. A new study offers support for the theory that removing the foreskin deprives troublesome bacteria of a place to live, leaving the immune system in much better shape to keep the human immunodeficiency virus at bay.
Anyone who has ever lifted a rock and watched as the earth beneath it was quickly vacated by legions of bugs and tiny worms would be familiar with the principle, said study leader Dr. Cindy Liu: After the foreskin is cut away, the masses of genital bacteria that once existed beneath it end up disappearing.
"It's the same as if you clear-cut a forest," said Liu, a pathologist at the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Flagstaff, Ariz. "The community of animals that once lived in that forest is going to change."
Of particular note is that circumcision undercuts anaerobic bacteria, the microbes that thrive in oxygen-deprived environments, she said. By reducing the number of anaerobic bacteria, the body's immune cells may be better able to destroy the virus — and less likely to fall prey to its Trojan horse-style of attack, the authors suggest.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
As someone who hasn't yet had the luxury of leaving my home continent, it's locations like those found in One World (2004) that make me want to explore this big blue ball we live on. Granted, it's not the most informative account of world culture; instead, it's a lively romp through Zambia, Uganda, Costa Rica, China, Kyrgyzstan and Norway by way of kayak (and beat up old van, of course). Participating in this whitewater tour are a number of enthusiastic athletes including Ben Brown, Steve Fisher, Jimi Scott, Ben Selznick and many more. Needless to say, they're pretty psyched about the adventure: not only do they get to do what they love most, but they get to check out some new places while they're at it. As a cubicle monkey, I'm certainly green with envy.
Filmed in Hi-Definition video, we join the group as they battle the rapids, take in the culture and try some tasty new food along the way. Even so, it's more of a feast for the eyes than a genuinely educational romp---but hey, documentaries don't always have to be stuffy, right? Even so, One World's main drawback is, unfortunately, the film's main objective: it's more of a souvenir-style, "wish you were here" video than anything else. For all the interesting visuals and exciting banter between the participants, it's only so much fun to watch this stuff on the small screen. In short, you probably had to actually be there to get the full effect. This certainly doesn't ruin the viewing experience, but it keeps the documentary from being much more than a full-motion postcard.
A skillfully shot postcard, but a postcard nonetheless.
Even so, it's hard to fault a documentary---the third in a series, actually---that was obviously a labor of love for those involved. The athletes' enthusiasm is infectious throughout, as this 70-minute film breezes by…despite never feeling like it's rushing things. Although the video quality isn't quite as good as it could have been (more on that later), there's no doubt that this is one of the better independently produced documentaries shot on the fly. From the "kayak cam" to more traditional talking head interview footage, this is a purely visual affair that's worth a weekend look. A more complete DVD presentation would have easily earned One World a higher recommendation, but it's still a decent little package, all things considered. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
The audio is also fairly decent, as this film is presented with your choice of 2.0 Stereo or 5.1 Surround mixes. The 2.0 sounds fairly flat, but the 5.1 opens up the soundstage nicely, offering clear dialogue and immersive music. The audio recorded on location is confined to the front channels---even then, mostly the center---but the added soundtrack helps to fill out the atmosphere reasonably. It's not as dynamic as I was hoping for, but this is more than adequate given the circumstances.
The presentation is simple but it's got the basics covered. The static menu designs are easy to use, making for quick and easy navigation. The 70-minute film is divided into 17 chapters, while no layer change was detected during playback. The packaging is oddly designed, as this one-disc release is housed in a white keepcase with horizontal front and back cover artwork (and an upside-down spine!). No inserts have been included, though the final packaging may be different.
One World is a decent documentary, but this is a slightly disappointing DVD overall. While I really wasn't expecting a top-shelf effort, the lack of anamorphic enhancement and thin bonus features could have been fixed easily. Those interested in world cultures, exotic locations and (of course) kayaking may want to look into this DVD, but it's not quite solid enough to be considered blind buy material. Even so, One World is worth a weekend look for the adventurous. Rent It.

A Little More Lucia
Also, this great anecdote from Ken Krull, who was a salesman at the Chicago art studio, Stephens, Biondi, DiCicco, when Lucia worked there during the 50's:
Bringing up Lucia's name reminded me of our first job to together. I had just started in sales at SBD in the late 50's. An art director from FCB wanted to use Lucia on an ad featuring two women's heads. His budget was $200 (this was the 50's). I approached Lucia with the layout. Her question was "What will this bill for?" [When I told her the budget] she said, "That's really not very good - plus I'm very busy." Her way of turning down work.
Disappointed, I left, forgetting to take the layout. Next morning when I arrived the finished art of the heads was on my desk with a note... "Ken; Don't tell anyone what these billed for." "L"
We went on to do much work together...She was the Queen.
Ten years later, half a decade after Lucia had moved to SBD's L.A. office, she did the piece below for Petersen Publishing's Teen magazine.
Long-time TI list member, Armando Mendez, who was kind enough to send me the scan, added this bit of chronology to the Lucia story:
The month before [March 1965] had another very stylish Lucia DPS illustration with a dark-haired girl (who could be based on the same model) reading through old magazines but without the heavy containment line and flat blacks of this month; a very open, sketchy, continous line Briggs/Fawcett (lithographic crayon) type drawing. I don't have a complete run but I can tell you a year later and what little story illustration remains would be 180 degees different in approach.
Around that same time, writes Armando, "The large department stores ran incredible full page fashion drawings in the two main [L.A.] newspapers (even as a young boy, the drawings amazed me) but weren't signed. I certainly think Lucia had the chops for these."
That jibes well with something Will Nelson, another artist at SBD Chicago wrote to me about Lucia: "As I recall, Lucia was immediately in demand in the high end fashion market... I.Magnin, Bullocks, etc."
Perhaps someone out there will have saved some of those 1960's newspaper fashion ads and will read this post. With a little luck, we may yet get to see Lucia Lerner's work from that later part of her career.
* Today's images have been added to my Lucia Flickr set and the previous posts on Lucia Lerner can be quickly accessed from the drop down menu in the blog's side bar.

It's very nice keep learning about Lucia, and her beautiful drawings :)ReplyDelete
Lucia never ceases to amaze me. The 'Who Says Napoleon is Ancient History" illustration at first glance, appears to be just another well done guy girl situation. But notice, the guy behind the girl is a subtle duplication of the portrait of Napoleon, on the cover of the book she holds.... same hair shape, the stern expression and the typical arm and hand position identified with Napoleon. The little bow at the edge of the girls hair, helps convey a wholesome demure appearance, which contrasts the guy's appearance. It's these clever little touches that separate illustrators like Lucia, Al Parker and a few others from the mainstream, in my opinion.ReplyDelete
Tom Watson
Wow! Will you look at that... I hadn't noticed - thanks for pointing that out, Tom. :-)ReplyDelete
I enjoy your blog very much. Your comments about newspaper fashion illustration have reminded me of my empty search on the web for such work. While attending the Cooper School of Art in Cleveland in the late 70's the newspapers were full of beautiful figure illustrations showing off the clothing for sale. Hardlines were rendered quite capably as well. Here's hoping someone has saved those and it will start appearing on the internet someday.ReplyDelete
Jeff Suntala
I'm with you on that. Just found a couple of old newpaper ads from the 60's for dept. stores here in Canada. The fashion drawings are absolutely gorgeous, not to mention the type elements and general design of the page.
I am setting all this aside for a week on fashion illustration... hopefully to include some of the work mentioned re: Lucia for I. Magnin, Bullocks, etc. - if someone can locate any for us.
Armando mendez sent this follow-up note which describes the challenge quite well:
"Bringing up Lucia makes me want to go and check out the period newspapers at the downtown public library.
But it's my least favorite thing to do--mircofilm readers, loading reels, focusing wheels and changing lenses--the scanning of the pages actually makes me motion sick--with each reel only covering a little less than two weeks and back up to the counter to request more. Then if I find something worthwhile, I get frustrated trying to get at readable photocopy without image destroying steaks and dropouts. Gosh how I hate it!
It doesn't have to be that hard. At Art Center College for Design in Pasadena I'm positive that the library once had a Los Angeles Art Directors Club Annual, much like the NYC series. It had the best illustration and photography done here each year, not only artist named but studio, client, and medium, sometimes with headshot photos of the prizewinners. (I don't remember the time span but it certainly covered the 50s and 60s.) But when I noticed it existed, I wasn't researching local artists so I didn't examine it too closely. Later, I thought.
Now when I go to inquire about it the librarians there treat me like I'm talking in Farsi. Maybe I dreamed it. . . ."
great really beauty, this women have a different style and with unique touch, you can recognize the true talent when you see something like this.ReplyDelete

Questions raised over financial viability of new brown coal generation
An independent energy economist has questioned the financial viability of new low emission brown coal power generation in Victoria's Latrobe Valley.
Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt says carbon emissions from the region's power stations will be at least halved within a decade.
He has pointed to research which suggests large-scale diesel injection engines that use brown coal as a fuel, could replace existing generators.
Bruce Mountain from Carbon Market Economics says it will be tough to attract any investment into new coal-fired technology, regardless of Government policy.
"It would be a high hurdle because it would have to compete against existing brown coal generators, whose capital costs have sunk already and so it would have to actually compete at the margins, so it would be doubtful that a major new technology would be viable without assistance in some way," he said.

Sore Arms, No Voice but a Full Heart -- the "We Can End AIDS" March in Washington, D.C.
July 26, 2012
I came to D.C. totally prepared for the "We Can End AIDS" mobilization, I had my blue fabric to wave, my sensible shoes and even a water bottle. What I missed in the planning was a sense of how incredible and overwhelming it would truly be. My friend Teresa said "It took her breath away." and I still feel breathless, slightly disoriented but ready for what ever comes next.
Every morning I wake up and feel as if my life has been taken over by Alice in Wonderland, " I believe in six impossible things before breakfast."
Today, I marched down the middle of New York Avenue, chanting with so many women and watched an original member of ACT UP along with other organizers tie dollar bills, pill bottles, clean syringes and even panties to the gates of the White House. Okay, breakfast was a bit late but it was a busy, amazing and advocacy affirming day.
There were five different arms in the march, all converging in Lafayette Park, across from the White House. We marched for Human Rights and Harm Reduction, Sound Policies, People over Pharma Profits, the Robin Hood Tax and my arm that called for Ending the War on Women.
We waved blue fabric and chanted that we were "Women Making Waves". And we were, I walked, surrounded by many of my positive friends both from Colorado and the US Positive Women's Network and I will admit that I was overcome with the beauty and power of the advocates that I have come to call my sisters.
I don't know if President Obama was home, it is nice to think he was but it almost doesn't matter. The march was more for us than for him. We are tired, so many long time advocates and persons living with HIV are exhausted and what this march did was energize us.
And for a moment I could see the end of it all, the end of AIDS, the end of discrimination and criminalization and the war on women's rights and the companies that put profits over people's lives. I could see it clear as day and I was overwhelmed that there may be a day, perhaps even close at hand where I won't have to worry about losing another friend to this scourge of a disease ... and so we picked up our sign and marched back down New York Avenue to join in the International AIDS Conference to bring that day to pass because, as we have heard so often this week, we are at a crucial moment in the epidemic and we all have a part to play.

Dr. Edward L. Morris, dean of the Division of Management at Lindenwood University, will talk about and sign copies of his new book, "The Lindenwood Model: An Antidote for What Ails Undergraduate Education," from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, at Main Street Books, at 307 S. Main St. in St. Charles.
Morris' provocative book, published by Lindenwood Press, takes a hard look at the higher education establishment in America, which he says has become less efficient, more expensive and less student-centered over time. The culprit, he says, is the drive by many universities to do too many different things, rather than focusing on what should be their primary goal: teaching their students.
The book also explains how Lindenwood has in recent years become the fastest growing college or university in Missouri while maintaining a steadfast focus on its students and teaching. While Morris does not imply that Lindenwood's approach is appropriate all across the higher education landscape, there are lessons there that could be beneficial to many institutions of higher learning.
"The Lindenwood Model" is 202 pages long and has a cover price of $24.95. The book will be sold at the Sept. 29; it is also currently available at the Lindenwood Spirit and Supplies Shoppe on the main Lindenwood campus—209 S. Kingshighway, St. Charles, Mo., 63301.
Morris has written numerous articles throughout his professional career; "The Lindenwood Model" is his first book. For more information, contact Chris Duggan at 636-949-4913.

Hospital: Eusebio suffered stroke in Poland
Former Portugal and Benfica great Eusebio suffered a stroke during his stay in Poland to watch Euro 2012 and will remain in a Lisbon hospital for an undetermined period of time, the hospital said on Friday.
Eusebio, 70, was admitted to Lisbon's Luz hospital after arriving on a medical flight on Wednesday.
"The tests conclude that on the 24th of June he had a cerebrovascular accident," Luz hospital clinical director Jose Roquette said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
Eusebio is in a stable condition and has been moved out of intensive care.
"Eusebio is conscious, lucid and collaborates in all the medical care being done. His family is with him and his friends have been visiting," Roquette said.
"He will stay in hospital for an undetermined period of time and constantly under watch."
Eusebio, Portugal's football ambassador, has been admitted to hospital four times since December. He has been suffering from hypertension and his doctors have said he must have regular examinations.
Eusebio travelled with the national team to Poland and was in the stands for the quarter-final win over the Czech Republic, cheering alongside former Portugal captain Luis Figo.
Nicknamed the 'black panther', Eusebio grabbed international headlines during the 1966 World Cup in England when Portugal finished third. He also helped his Portuguese club side Benfica reach four European Cup finals in the 1960s.

alt: and the paper trail 'fits" ??? that's wonderful Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: alt I'm going to tell you now. no. The way I figure it is that for them to be 3rd cousins she would have to had shared a 4th great grandparent with my grandfather. But she is close in age with my mom. This is the kicker, they are all from Virginia and North Carolina. My grandfather's paternal line came from Hinds Co. MS according to the papertrail No further info than that.
alt: okay Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: So the only thing I can think of is that Benj Thompson father is the common ancestor. Excuse me Benj great grandfather.
Daviss: who determined the 3rd cousins you and she or 23
alt: or a sibling of Benjamin Thompson's great-grandfather
Seventies Soulchild: Who that is remains unknown 23 and me made the genetic determination.
Daviss: you two have to do that and then change it in the box
Seventies Soulchild: ???
Daviss: by research or knowltedge they had me as the aunt of my brother I had to change that by knowledge..
Seventies Soulchild: I have no idea ofhow we could be related. at all.
alt: I really don't have much faith in those 'genetic' realtionships when you put the genaology conditions in place.
Seventies Soulchild: The capture story of Benj thompson still intrigues me though... Combine that with stories of the family coming from VA
Daviss: I have a cousin who was 3 to 5th. we had to figure out through step how we were related. her father and my mother are 1st cousins 1once removed
alt: that's is in tying the relationship to a particular person thru the genetics.
Seventies Soulchild: ok
alt: I'm putting my money on the genealogy
Daviss: Not sure how you would discount that state thing though since we were shipped in all directions
Seventies Soulchild: Well I think 3rd cousins are awfully close.
Daviss: Her line may have never set foot in Ms
Seventies Soulchild: Well I am truly perplexed.
Daviss: thats were you have to do more figuring seventies and it may take longer than a day
Seventies Soulchild: Of course...
Daviss: .58 and 3 segs
Seventies Soulchild: I don't even know if that is a high percentage... I'm definitely going to have to speak to my grandfather again
alt: I'm thinking any 3rd cousin could be related thru the descendants of any one of my great-parents or their siblings and I have what.... 8 great-grandparents and they have dozens of siblings.
Daviss: that may very well could be for 3rd cousins right alt out of all my matches, I may have two that have Texas in their list of states
alt: that's my problem with genetic genealogy... it seems they try to 'straight-line' every relationship to parent, grandparent, etc. and don't take siblings into consideration.
Seventies Soulchild: What are the other states
Daviss: all the southern ones not speaking of the other persuasion
Seventies Soulchild: LOL I was just asked to investigate who our new boss will be... Oh lawd! lol
alt: investigate your new boss???
Seventies Soulchild: Yes.
alt: like a background check????

Selma: and what did you think alt?
Seventies Soulchild: We're talking about driving along the highway and trying to read those small street signs... very tough. But I tell you when I drove through in 2009 I saw them all for the first time. Though I've driven that road many times over about 15 years.

In case you hadn't heard, I'm going to be in Chicago next week for RT (the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention). YAY! If you've never attended RT, let me tell you about one of my most favoritest events EVER….the ginormous TEEN DAY celebration on Saturday, April 14th!
TEEN DAY is the only day of the convention that's open to the public. You can either pay $5 at the door for the GIANT book signing expo from 11-2PM. OR...if you're a Young Adult, you and one "chaperone" can pay a measly $25 for the entire day's events which run from 11AM – 7:30PM! All of the nit-picky details can be found here!
If you're even kinda, sorta, maaaaybe thinking about coming, let me give you one more incentive: Not only will they have copies of THE LAST ECHO before-everyone-else-can-get-them, but I will also be bringing a limited number of The Last Echo nail polishes with me!!!
So, how do you get this creeptastically awesome swag, you ask? Well, since I won't have enough for everyone, all you have to do is come up to me at the giant signing event and say, "You can't hide..."
(Mysterious, right? It's kinda the catch-phrase for The Last Echo!)
As long as you say "You can't hide", and I still have polish left, it's yours! Easy peasy!!! It's first come, first serve, so don't you dare be shy! :)
Plus, you get to meet about a gajillion other YA (and non-YA) authors at the signing. Trust, me, it is so beyond cool!
If you're already registered to attend RT, you should totally stop by on Wednesday, April 11th at 1:00PM for the panel I'm doing with Carrie Ryan, Kiera Cass, Rosemary Clement-Moore, and Kelly Keaton (aka Kelly Gay). It's called Murder, Mayhem and Madness: YA ACTION & SUSPENSE, and I think you can guess there will probably be talk of serial killers, zombies, and kissing.
Don't forget the phrase that pays (in nail polish): "You can't hide!!!"
And if you won't be in Chicago, be sure to check my Events Page to find out where I'll be over the next month or so, because...I'm bringin' my nail polish on the road with me!!!
Oh yeah, baby...

As soon as the last envelope is opened and the curtain falls on Sunday's Oscars, it's showtime for Wolfgang Puck. The celebrity chef behind the multi-course meal served to 1,600 at the Governors Ball immediately following the awards faces a pantry full of potential problems.
Puck and his kitchen staff of 350 not only have to turn out thousands of appetizers, small dinner plates and desserts in a matter of minutes, but also must please picky Hollywood diners — from hard-core vegans (look for the kale salad with grilled artichokes) to veterans of a certain age who want their lamb chops overcooked to the texture of a baseball mitt.
At the same time, the menu needs to include plenty of comfort food to console dejected losers and enough celebratory fare — like the baked-to-order chocolate soufflé cake with shaved espresso ice — for those toting golden statuettes.
PHOTOS: Wolfgang Puck's Oscar feast
"For me, it's the biggest party — it's bigger than the inauguration of the president," the 63-year-old said in his catering kitchen adjacent to the Hollywood & Highland ballroom where the ball is held, as he cooked several recipes planned for this year's bash. It's his 19th year with the Academy Awards, and in addition to the ball, Puck caters the reception inside the Dolby Theatre before the ceremony begins. "All the stars, all the producers, directors, studio heads — they all get together on one night."

In a potentially big win for Tesla Motors, the carmaker on Friday struck a deal New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the New York State Automobile Dealers Association and the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association to keep existing retail locations open in the state.
The deal is similar to one struck in Ohio, which essentially allows existing retail locations to remain open but limits or restricts additional stores.
New Jersey and Texas have both banned direct auto sales to protect existing auto dealers in their states.
New York Rep. David Buchwald, whose district serves as home for three Tesla facilities, cheered the deal. "I've maintained from the beginning that a compromise was possible to keep this environmentally-innovative company producing jobs in New York state," he said. "I'm proud that we have not made the same mistake New Jersey did."
Read MoreTesla to Texas: How do you like us now?
The deal will allow Tesla to "continue to pursue its mission of catalyzing the market for sustainable transportation," said Diarmuid O'Connell, vice president of corporate and business development.
"Today's agreement reaffirms New York's long-standing commitment to the dealer franchise system,while making sure New York remains a leader in spurring innovative businesses and encouraging zero emissions vehicle sales" Cuomo said, in a statement.

This article was written by Clara Estelle Breed (1909-1994), a librarian in the San Diego Library System. She courageously supported the Japanese-Americans ordered relocated in February, 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt through Executive Order 9066. More than 100,000 were moved into internment camps that were usually located in the desert Southwest. The Supreme Court affirmed the order in Korematsu vs. United States in 1944, arguing that it was legal due to "military necessity," a decision that has been much criticized. Congress attempted to make amends in 1988 with the Civil Liberties Act, which formally apologized and offered those still alive $20,000 compensation. Despite the violation of their rights, young Japanese-Americans accepted a wartime draft that placed them in the military. Only several hundred refused to serve from the tens of thousands drafted. The 442nd Infantry Regiment, composed of Japanese-Americans, became the most decorated unit in American military history. Despite her controversial views, Clara Breed was named Interim Head of the library in 1945.

I'm sure some of you remember when I posted not too long ago about a couple of my co-workers and their comments about how I should be a brunette and that women should not be redheads unless they wear makeup because they get "washed out"....
Well, the co-worker who made the washed out comment and I got into it a couple days back. Sortve. But I had to share my frusteration with you ladies again... cause you get it. I cut my hair again because I wasnt happy with the last one.. the stylist didnt listen when I told her I wanted something I DIDNT have to spend forever styling with a blow dryer. She gave me that any way. ~_~ I'm lazy, thank you. I just want to wash and go. Plus I wanted to get rid of the last of the chemically damaged length, so I cropped it short. I got most of it, just have a couple inches from my bangs left to trim off, but that will be in a few months when my hair's gotten longer again.
Any way! My co-workers asked me why I did it, they like the new style but liked that my hair was getting so long before. I tried explaining about the whole blow drying thing and got about as far as saying that I couldnt use a flat iron cause it would burn the henna (though, as dark as my hair is, I'm not sure it would.. but I dont want to risk it either!) when the ex-stylist co-worker pipped up saying she didnt know why I kept putting "that stuff" in my hair because all I was doing was "ruining my hair".
When I tried to tell her she was incorrect and that henna was GOOD for the hair, that the stuff she knew was based on compound henna, she fought me on it and proceeded to try and recite what she had been tought at cosmetology school - that ALL henna is bad. That I could never bleach my hair again because it would fry my hair (novel concept, no?) if I ever went to a professional salon and had them do it. Never mind that I HAVE bleached my hair almost back to blonde with henna in it and nothing happened (her excuse for THAT was that I use stuff from Sally's). Frusterated, I tried explaining and all I got from her was an interrupting, snarky "did you go to cosmetology school?" and "Yes or no?" when I opened my mouth, and then she proceeded to tell me my natural color was beautiful.
...She's never SEEN my now natural color the entire time I've worked there. What she's seen is the henna over my now natural color.
Customer's came in about that point and the conversation was dropped. Unfortunately, it wasnt until well afterwards that I thought of the equally snarky reponse of "well have you actually researched henna or are you just buying what they're telling you?".

Katie Holmes smolders on the November cover of Marie Claire! The mom and talented actress opens up to the mag about everything from daughter Suri Cruise companionship to her marriage with Tom Cruise to her next big plan — opening up a design business!
Katie is rarely photographed without her right hand gal — adorable six-year-old daughter Suri.
One parenting practice this mom has nailed down, always bringing a snack and a coloring book.
"My daughter was with me the other day at a work event and it was a long day. I took out some paper and markers that I had in my bag, and someone said to me, 'Oh, that is so cute,' and I looked at her and thought, No, this is not cute," Katie tells Marie Claire. "This is what all mothers have to do."
So how does Katie balance work and family life? She doesn't give herself any other option.
"Because you have to. As an actress who is also a mother, you don't have the luxury of drama," she shares.
And Katie has big plans for the "next chapter" of her life.
"I'm excited to begin a new phase: roles I might have been afraid to play before, places I want to travel to with my daughter," she says. "I'd like to build the design business. But not too fast."
Catch the rest of Marie Claire's interview with Katie in the November 2011 issue, on newsstands Oct. 25.

Marine Biology Career Resources
There is an enormous amount of information available online to help you plan a career in Marine Biology; however it can be quite extensive and also rather confusing. To answer some of the most common questions we receive:
Marine Biology is typically a graduate pursuit, you should first obtain an undergraduate degree in a science such as biology preferably from an institution that offers graduate-level Marine Biology programs. If your undergraduate school doesn't offer upper-level Marine Biology programs you could take summer or weekend marine-related courses or even an internship with nearby schools or marine labs.
A career in Marine Biology means you might work in a private or government lab performing research, for example, scientists in the Marine Biology Research Division at Scripps (MBRD) investigate the ecological, physiological, cellular, and biochemical characteristics of marine bacteria, plants, and animals. You might teach, work outdoors and/or underwater, or even in an office. It's most likely that you would work in a variety of environments during the course of your career.
The following are some of our favorite sites for information on careers in marine biology or marine life sciences. Take your time to review this information and you will find most of your questions answered by the incredible variety of information in these sites.

You're on your way to say Mass, rushed because the meeting overan. You get caught in a tropical downpour so your plastic cagoule saves the day, and does so again when you realise you've left your vestments behind....

In his defence (though not very much in his defence) I think it's actually netting - if you look at the way it hangs, it doesn't look like plastic.
It's still ruddy awful though!!!

I get it: it's "The Visible Mass Set" that allows the children to see what's under the chasuble. A great catechetical tool! Ingenious!
Actually, the chasuble looks like it's made out of a gauzy, mesh-like material, similar to a head-scarf.

The solution to all these tasteless vestments is very simple--"a comely surplice with sleeves"--not a Roman surplice with narrow sleeves and lace trim but an Old English surplice extra full in the body and with bell-shaped sleeves.

I don't know, it looks to me like some kind of attempt to combine vestments and traditional folk costume. Misguided, maybe, but not inexplicable... unlike many other things posted here!

This gives a new meaning to the concept of clergy transparency and accountability and to the Scripture, "All will be revealed."
Bet the woman with the feather boa would kill for this ensemble.
- May 6, 2011 at 8:58 PM
I bet this is just a misguided attempt at making tropical-weight vestments.
Even us Orthodox have some see-through vestments:
I fully sympathize with making extremely lightweight vestments, though--I have worn some fantastic vestments, only to soak with perspiration after an hour or two of use.

I think this was supposed to be rose colored vestments for Laetare or Gaudete Sunday.

It might be the Philipino fabric made from pineapple leaves. It is very gauzy but takes dye well. May not be the best use of that fabric. It is tough in a tropical climate, but, come on!

For some hot area, these kind of vestments can be seen.
basically it it to hot to wear traditional chasuble.

Available Dogs & Puppies
PLEASE NOTE: We currently have a limited number of dogs available for adoption, and will be reducing intakes for the next week, due to some of our dogs displaying symptoms of kennel cough. Because the health of our animals is a priority, we want to give these dogs time to recover from their doggy colds. Thank you for understanding.
Here are the dogs and puppies currently available for adoption at Homeward Pet. At the shelter, you may also see other dogs that will be available for adoption as soon as we've completed their initial medical and behavioral care.

text: Another observation: In the park around the main buildning of Uppsala University they cut off some branches of a birch a few meters above the ground. This was done in early spring. I passed the tree one or two weeks later when winter had come back temporarily with several degrees below zero. From the cut surfaces big icicles were hanging and only from there. I took a picture for educational purposes and we use to discuss the phenomenon in my classes. Our explanation is frozen sap and root pressure. I tasted one icicles but it wasn=B4t sweet.

"There have existed, in every age and every country, two distinct orders of men -- the lovers of freedom and the devoted advocates of power." ~ Robert Y. Hayne
How, Why?
Exclusive to STR
Lenin made a famous statement once upon a time: "Who, Whom?" This is widely regarded as one of the most pithy statements of political analysis ever. Recently on STR, the questions were asked: "How did you come to your beliefs?", and "What reasons are there to be optimistic?" We can rephrase that as "How? Why?", I think, which has an endearing symmetry and a certain ironic twist to it that seems to me apropos. The answers to these questions are linked. I will exposit on this link somewhat obliquely and in a heavily stylized fashion, for that is the best way to truly apprehend its outlines as I perceive them.
I believe there to be plenty of reason for optimism. Now don't take my word for it, of course. Look at the new Root Strikers. There's one what, every day? Sometimes two or three? Take a look at some of the other sites out there (LewRockwell.com, No Treason, et al.) How many contribute? How many new contributors do you see, and how often? How many more do ya think just read? What do those site rankings look like, what's their direction, which way is the water flowing and how fast? How many see the implications of this state of affairs?
Let's look at those readers for a minute.
Each new reader is there, reading these things, drawing of this sweetwater aquifer's archipelago of deep and connected wells, because he is looking for something. He has taken the red pill, and is in the process of seeing how deep the rabbit-hole really goes. Perhaps he came by the pill from contact with another who put him on the Path. He may have come by it courtesy of personal research, brought on by curiosity or a bout with some State-originated personal injustice. Perhaps he chanced to Google the name of an author of a book he had half-forgotten, recalled from a childhood memory, sitting on his favorite crazy uncle's shelf. The whys are many, but the whys don't matter. What matters is that he is there, and he is reading, and understanding, and speaking. He speaks at his workplaces, with his clients, with his friends and family, at his church, at the bar. He points out the other half of the truth that is always felt but never spoken, "You bow down, or the State will kill you." He demonstrates that it need not be this way, and in fact was not this way until recently. He cuts through the lies, and sows doubt in furrows of discontent. He rephrases and rewords things from the Orwellian language of euphemism, translating them to ordinary speech that somehow makes them sound so much less attractive. He speaks with the authority of one who sees things clearly and plainly, and who carries equally clear and plain answers that have the ring of truth. There is a certain suspension of disbelief attendant to those social and political theories endorsing endless and boundless murder, theft and fraud (i.e. "statecraft"); one must believe, with the naive faith of a child who believes that world hunger can be eradicated by making a law that everyone can have ice cream for dinner if they want it, that one may kill the goose bearing golden eggs and still have eggs every day for the taking. The iron laws of time, human desire, and economics are in the process of refuting that belief; its defense rings hollow, there are no believable Utopian adherents of this philosophy anymore, only those that make no pretense about wanting to kill millions of people and suck the marrow from their bones for the sake of their own glorification and what they conceive of as a better world, organized by boot heel and rifle butt. There is an "answer vacuum," a credibility gap requiring an ever-larger leap of faith to cross, a gap that can only be filled with the Truths that nothing in this life is free, that stealing from Peter to give things to Paul benefits neither Peter nor Paul nor the passersby, that destruction and theft do not create wealth, that that dried-up old preacher on the street corner really was right and that they who kill their neighbor, steal from him, or covet his things shall not prosper. He is the one who fills this gap, and his voice is coming through more clearly by the day.
But again, don't take my word for it. Listen. Listen to the noise-makers, and see how few seriously believe them these days, see how that noise evokes an apathetic and ever-dulling stereotyped response, adrenal fear/anger burnout, "Yeah, whatever, yawn, same old same old." Listen to the background instead, pay attention to what's coming through the chinks in the wall. Example: lotta buzz, these days, about "V for Vendetta." Why is there such a buzz? Because it should never have been made, and Everybody Knows It. Ponder, just for a moment, the implications of the motto "People should not fear their governments--governments should fear their people," appearing in front of God and everybody on the teevee screen, where it might actually be seen, by children or heart patients, actually playing in a movie theater, with all its icky anarchy and tinfoil battiness and all that, right out where decent people can just go and watch it if the mood strikes them, why, it's un-American. This film is the fart at the tea party that punctuates perfectly the pompous silliness of the whole affair, and is to me the harbinger of the Zeitgeist of the near future.
If you want more examples, hell, there are plenty of other cracks in the facade. The Katrina debacle breached some levees, too, not all of which were holding back the sea. When the talking heads can't hide multiple on-air breakdowns because of a visible, forcible and unpleasant reconstruction of some worldviews ("Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani?"), Shit Is Changing. When the Wall Street Journal begins talking about how much of your portfolio should be in gold, a topic previously the sole province of those whom concerted propaganda efforts had branded "lunatic racist survivalist redneck gun nuts who live in the woods and never bathe," Shit Is Changing. When it is not even remotely abnormal to hear of or know apparently normal, God-fearing, staid, polite people who mow their lawn and drive a Volvo violating copyrights, stockpiling "illegal" weapons, hoarding gold and advocating the wholesale shutdown of the Wars On Drugs And Terra, they are strange days indeed (alas, Babylon!) When solutions to modern problems recommended by paid liars garner about as much mindshare as the local kennel club's Dog Walk For Charity on public-access cable channel 23, and as much consensual approval as a plan to inoculate nuns and kittens with the Ebola virus, when 99% of the population finds it not just thinkable but a damn-near certainty that there is some form of illegal and/or immoral State cover-up of something, be it WMDs in Iraq or aliens in Roswell, there is a big problem in the making, mostly for those who fancy themselves to be the ones twisting the knobs on the Big Picture.
The sounds coming from the apologists for the State are the sounds of a tinny Civil Defense air-raid shelter speaker announcing that things will be okay and everything is under control, please leave your belongings at the fence gate and let the guards know if you need any special medications or have a pacemaker or any gold teeth, and are increasingly drowned out in a haze of feedback, overdrive, 60-hertz buzz, and the murmurs of a crowd that is becoming aware of the dangerously lunatic irony of the whole situation. The background noises are the Truth, breaking through the static in half-second bursts of lucidity, siren-calling one or two more from the crowd every day. They are the words of dead men that ring true a thousand, five hundred, two hundred, one hundred, fifty years later, jeremiads on liberty and paper money and the dangers of democracy and foreign adventures and yielding to glib gladhanders and social engineers the power that they covet most, screeds that read like they were written for yesterday's newspaper. They are the explanations and refinements of a philosophy that many had thought quaint and moribund, irrelevant and senile and doddering like old Aunt Jenny in the wheelchair who keeps babbling on about how she has to go vote for Ike. They are the complete formulation of and answers to those unanswerable, half-formed questions that arise in the wee hours of the night, when the worries about how you're gonna pay both your goddamned tax bill and your health insurance premiums this month and why your son's teacher is such an incompetent asshole and why the hell the government employees that coffeebreak all day long just had their union shake down you and all the other taxpayers for a raise even though you don't get one this year even though you actually work for a living and why everything at the grocery store costs more all come together and mate and spawn little flashing bursts of insight and questions about why things are the way they are that couldn't be answered before, oh no, because before you had to go to the goddamned library and spend eight hours there like some kind of no-life pencilneck and track it down only to find out that the book that explains it all is only available if you wait six months for your library to loan it from Botswana, but now you can just go to the computer and type it into Google and find all the answers you want, just for the asking. It's just that easy, even if you're just an ordinary Joe. Chew on that for a bit. When has Joe Sixpack ever been able to get ahold of this stuff easily and contemplate it, even with the limited time he's got in a day? The last time was in the mid-1700s, I believe, and y'all know what happened then.
Most Root Strikers, in my estimation, came to their beliefs because they are officially broken, factory defects in a world not of their making whose functions are strange and counterintuitive, where everything seems at least the slightest bit "wrong." Because of their perception of the craziness of the things they are told and made to do whether they will or no, whether that perception was conscious or not, they started pulling and tugging at threads around them until a couple came loose. They did not and do not BELEEEEEEEEEEEVE On The State like they were supposed to, never completely, and so consequently went looking for other explanations and found 'em, back when it was hard (or harder, at any rate) to do. That's my story, in a nutshell; I've been broken since Day One, non-traditional all the way, a freak from the word Go. I've had a general low-level dislike for things which violate that natural law which all of us are born knowing but most somehow manage to forget, but only since 1998 have I made any strides toward understanding the larger picture and its mechanics, largely due to the improved access to information the Information Age has afforded the general public. Now, here I am, scribbling out little screeds in my spare time, one of the phosphorescent plankton flagellating about in a decaying Leviathan's wake, doing my best to keep afloat and prosper. That's my "how," and from what I've read, it's scarcely unique. Most heartening is that it seems to be getting less and less unique as time goes on.
The danger to the State is not that these people, these heretics and apostates of its Cult, will band together and work to destroy it; it is far more insidious, and far more overwhelming, than that. These people have access to the information that was previously unavailable due to cost, or inconvenience, or both. These people are replicating this information, analyzing it, reading it, disseminating it, discussing it, and refining it, all without realizing or caring that they are only meant to be burning it during the Two Minutes' Hate. They pound little drums for Liberty all across the planet, and slowly those drums are coming into synchronization of their own accord, converging on one single, pure harmonic, the low seismic thrumming of Truth and self-fulfilled prophecies that even the oblivious are feeling and swaying to. These people are wise and canny; they do not need the State, and feel no love for it in their breasts, and will not be there to prop it up when it begins to fall under its own weight. And that is, perhaps, the greatest danger they pose; that while they may not lift a hand to harm they sure won't lift a hand to help, that they will, at the very end, the last extremity, that crucial hour when all good men must come to the aid of their Crown so that the unthinkable prospect of an outbreak of uncontrolled human activity can be stifled, will finally render unto those panic-stricken, directive-spewing, impotent toadies of Caesar begging for assistance and compliance just that which is due them, the immortal wisdom of the fat sage Cartman: "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
And the by-now-certain-to-occur, once-in-a-millennium opportunity to deliver that line and walk away smiling to live our lives free, that is why we should be optimistic.

Zemke To Ride GEICO Motorcycle Honda in 2014 SportBike Season
GEICO Motorcycle Press Release
Published: October 31, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Oct. 31) - The GEICO Motorcycle Honda team and Team Hammer on Thursday selected Jake Zemke as its GoPro Daytona SportBike rider for the 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing Series season.
"I'm just really excited to be a part of the program and get the ball rolling," Zemke said. "I wish we were rolling to Daytona right now to go racing. The off-season will definitely be a little bit long for me. I'm looking forward to getting on the track as soon as possible.
"Collectively we've got quite a few years of experience on Hondas, and it's always great to get back on a bike you are comfortable riding. I'm definitely looking forward to putting some of my Honda knowledge to the test and help apply it to the team."
Team owner Chris Ulrich said the veteran rider will contribute a lot to the team both on and off the track.
"Jake is a guy we've been watching for a long time," Ulrich said. "He has won a lot of races during his career. We're excited to bring his talent, experience, and technical knowledge to our team. He's going to be a big asset to our entire organization.
"He is really going help us tap the full potential of the Honda CBR600RR in Daytona SportBike. We've made a lot of progress in a short period of time and Jake will bring us even further along."
Zemke raced on Hondas earlier in his career and is looking forward to the opportunity to bring Big Red back to the forefront of American road racing.
"At the races during the last couple of seasons I've had a lot of fans come up and say, 'We'd love to see you back on a Honda,' " Zemke said. "So it's really exciting to be able to get back onto a Honda. The GEICO Motorcycle program has been really strong, and they've done a great job and been one of the benchmark teams. They've won the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship twice in the last three seasons.
"This team has obviously done a great job over the years with other brands, and they're just starting to scratch the surface with the Honda. I think there's definitely a lot more to come with their work ethic and a little bit of knowledge on my end. I think we should be good and really be able to go out there and fight for podiums and race wins."The season will start on March 15, 2014, with the 73rd running of the Daytona 200 at Daytona International Raceway.

Have been always thinking (and procrastinating) about upgrading this blog – based on WordPress 2.5 to 2.6 (the latest as of this writing).
The thinking turned into a quick action (finally) with this wonderful plugin called WordPress Automatic Upgrade. Noticed this plugin in my WordPress's dashboard – under Plugin, Most Popular.
And voila! I'm now running 2.6. It took not more than a couple of minutes. I said "almost blindly" because I was dozing off to sleep while upgrading. That is, my blog was updated from my bed ;-). Hence, WordPress upgrade made easy, very easy.
Update: Updated this Blog to WordPress 2.6.1 from 2.6.0 using this plugin.
Update (Oct 24, 2008):Today updated successfully to 2.6.3. Awaiting Wordpess 2.7 (ETA: November 10) which has drastic changes and updates. Will the Automatic Upgrade plugin still do its magic ?
Update (Nov 24, 2008):Today updated successfully to 2.6.5 – which fixes a security issue and a few bugs
Update (Dec 12, 2008):Today updated successfully to 2.7 – a version upgrade (as opposed to a mere release upgrade). WordPress Automatic Upgrade rocks. I doubted it for an upgrade to 2.7 (as said during the Oct 24 upgrade, above). But I'm proved wrong (fortunately). Following is the view of the new dashboard and UI of WordPress 2.7.
Note: After upgrade to 2.7, the "Email This Post" and "Print This Post" links on my blog stopped working with custom URLs (permalinks) These two features are given by the plugins named WP-Print and WP-Email. I fixed these plugins as per the instructions here. However, i guess, upgrading to the latest version of these plugins (via http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-print/ and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email/) may also fix the issue.
Bottom line: Go for "WordPress Automatic Upgrade" to upgrade your WordPress to 2.7.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
It looks like they're watering the flowers.
Good question. I've never seen anything like this in a liturgical ceremony.
