CUPS/Printer sharing
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
CUPS provides capabilities to set up printer sharing between different systems. Below you'll find instructions for common scenarios.
- 1 Between GNU/Linux systems
- 2 Between GNU/Linux and Windows
- 2.1 Linux server - Windows client
- 2.2 Windows server - Linux client
- 2.3 Troubleshooting
- 3 Other operating systems
Between GNU/Linux systems
Once CUPS has been setup on the GNU/Linux print server, the recommended method of sharing the printer with another GNU/Linux system is through the relatively easy to use web interface, yet manual configuration is also a way.
You will need avahi-daemon running, before you restart cupsd.
Using the web interface
Access http://localhost:631 with a browser and the CUPS administration home page will be displayed.
Click on the Administration tab near the top, select the add printer option and it should automatically detect the connected printer. If not, try turning off the printer and then back on before another attempt.
Once the printer has been set up, look under the Server heading and click the checkbox for "Share printers connected to this system". Now, conclude by clicking change settings and the server will automatically restart.
Selecting "Edit Configuration File" allows making direct edits to the
cups.conf file. This is useful for allowing server access only to certain users or IP addresses, as the example shown below.
Manual setup
On the server computer (the one directly connected to the printer) simply open up
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf and allow access to the server by modifying the location lines. For instance:
<Location /> Order allow,deny Allow localhost Allow 192.168.0.* </Location>
Also make sure the server is listening on the IP address the client will be addressing. Add the following line after "# Listen <serverip>:631" (using the server's IP address instead of client's 192.168.0.100):
Listen 192.168.0.101:631
To "Show shared printers on the local network" make sure you have the Browsing directive enabled:
Browsing On
After making modifications, restart CUPS.
On the client system, open up (create if not present)
/etc/cups/client.conf and add the ServerName to match the IP address or the name of the server. Add this line:
ServerName 192.168.0.101
There are more configuration possibilities, including automatic methods, which are described in detail in http://localhost:631/help/network.html
After making modifications, restart CUPS.
Using a CUPS 1.6.x client with a <= 1.5.x server
As of CUPS version 1.6, the client defaults to IPP 2.0. If the server uses CUPS <= 1.5 / IPP <= 1.1, the client doesn't downgrade the protocol automatically and thus can't communicate with the server. A workaround (undocumented as of 2013-05-07, but see this bug report) is to put the following in
ServerName HOSTNAME-OR-IP-ADDRESS[:PORT]/version=1.1
Between GNU/Linux and Windows
Linux server - Windows client
Sharing via IPP
The preferred way to connect a Windows client to a Linux print server is using IPP. It's a standard printer protocol based on HTTP, allowing you all ways to profit from port forwarding, tunneling etc. The configuration is very easy and this way is less error-prone than using Samba. IPP is natively supported by Windows since Windows 2000.
To configure the server side proceed as described in the section above to enable browsing.
On the Windows computer, go to the printer control panel and choose to 'Add a New Printer'. Next, choose to give a URL. For the URL, type in the location of the printer:
(where host_ip_address is the GNU/Linux server's IP address and printer_name is the name of the printer being connected to, you can also use the server's fully qualified domain name, if it has one, but you may need to set
ServerAlias my_fully_qualified_domain_name in cupsd.conf for this to work).
which will work in a web-browser but not in the add printer dialogue. (At least, not when using cups as an ipp server). The syntax suggested above:
http://host_ip_address:631/printers/printer_namewill work.
After this, install the native printer drivers for your printer on the Windows computer. If the CUPS server is set up to use its own printer drivers, then you can just select a generic postscript printer for the Windows client(e.g. 'HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS' or 'Xerox DocuTech 135 PS2'). Then test the print setup by printing a test page.
Sharing via Samba
If your client's Windows version is below Windows 2000 or if you experienced troubles with IPP you can also use Samba for sharing. Note of course that with Samba this involves another complex piece of software. This makes this way more difficult to configure and thus sometimes also more error-prone, mostly due do authentication problems.
To configure Samba on the Linux server, edit
/etc/samba/smb.conf file to allow access to printers. File
smb.conf can look something like this:
[global] workgroup=Heroes server string=Arch Linux Print Server security=user [printers] comment=All Printers path=/var/spool/samba browseable=yes # to allow user 'guest account' to print. guest ok=no writable=no printable=yes create mode=0700 write list=@adm root yourusername
That should be enough to share the printer, yet adding an individual printer entry may be desirable:
[ML1250] comment=Samsung ML-1250 Laser Printer printer=ml1250 path=/var/spool/samba printing=cups printable=yes printer admin=@admin root yourusername user client driver=yes # to allow user 'guest account' to print. guest ok=no writable=no write list=@adm root yourusername valid users=@adm root yourusername
Please note that this assumes configuration was made so that users must have a valid account to access the printer. To have a public printer, set guest ok to yes, and remove the valid users line. To add accounts, set up a regular GNU/Linux account and then set up a Samba password on the server. For instance:
# useradd yourusername # smbpasswd -a yourusername
After this, restart the Samba daemon.
Obviously, there are a lot of tweaks and customizations that can be done with setting up a Samba print server, so it is advised to look at the Samba and CUPS documentation for more help. The
smb.conf.example file also has some good samples that might warrant imitating.
Windows server - Linux client
Sharing via LPD
Windows 7 has a built-in LPD server - using it will probably be the easiest approach as it does neither require an installation of Samba on the client nor heavy configuration on the server. It can be activated in the Control Panel under Programs -> Activate Windows functions in the section Print services. The printer must have shared activated in its properties. Use a share name without any special characters like spaces, commas, etc.
Then the printer can be added in CUPS, choosing LPD protocol. The printer address will look like this:
# lpd://windowspc/printersharename
Before adding the printer, you will most likely have to install an appropriate printer driver depending on your printer model. Generic PostScript or RAW drivers might also work.
Sharing via IPP
As above, IPP is also the preferred protocol for printer sharing. However this way might be a bit more difficult than the native Samba approach below, since you need a greater effort to set up an IPP-Server on Windows. The commonly chosen server software is Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS).
Sharing via Samba
A much simpler way is using Window's native printer sharing via Samba. There is almost no configuration needed, and all of it can be done from the CUPS Backend. As above noted, if there are any problems the reason is mostly related to authentication trouble and Windows access restrictions.
On the server side enable sharing for your desired printer and ensure that the user on the client machine has the right to access the printer.
The following section describes how to set up the client, assuming that both daemons (cupsd and smbd) are running.
Configuration using the web interface
The Samba CUPS back-end is enabled by default, if for any reason it is not activate it by entering the following command and restarting CUPS.
# ln -s $(which smbspool) /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
Next, simply log in on the CUPS web interface and choose to add a new printer. As a device choose "Windows Printer via SAMBA".
For the device location, enter:
Or without a password:
Make sure that the user actually has access to the printer on the Windows computer and select the appropriate drivers. If the computer is located on a domain, make sure the user-name includes the domain:
If the network contains many printers you might want to set a preferred printer. To do so use the web interface, go into the printer tab, choose the desired printer and select 'Set as default' from the drop-down list.
Manual configuration
For manual configuration stop the CUPS daemon and add your printer to
/etc/cups/printers.conf, which might for example look like this
<DefaultPrinter MyPrinter> AuthInfoRequired username,password Info My printer via SAMBA Location In my Office MakeModel Samsung ML-1250 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 # <= use 'lpinfo -m' to list available models DeviceURI smb://username:password@hostname/printer_name # <= server URI as described in previous section State Idle Type 4 Accepting Yes Shared No JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 AllowUser yourusername # <= do not forget to change this OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer>
Then restart the CUPS daemon an try to print a test page.
To set the preferred printer use the following command
# lpoptions -d desired_default_printer_name
If there are any problems, the first thing to do is enable debug information by setting
LogLevel debug
Then restart the CUPS daemon and check for error messages in
/var/log/cups/error_log. A convenient way to do so is
# tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
which keeps printing new error messages as they occur.
Note: You can also use the web interface to browse this error file.
Can't print with GTK applications
If you get "getting printer information failed" when you try to print from gtk-applications, add this line to your
# serverip some.name.org ServersHostname
Other operating systems
More information on interfacing CUPS with other printing systems can be found in the CUPS manual, e.g. on http://localhost:631/sam.html#PRINTING_OTHER

New Haven is thought by many to be Connecticut's top restaurant town, although the Gold Coast also offers a wealth of dining opportunities and Greater Hartford is definitely up and coming. Despite the strength of our dining scene, Greater New Haven took its hits during the recent economic downturn, and even though the economy is said to be expanding again, that hasn't prevented some notable restaurant casualties.
Smaller dining concepts seem to be in vogue. Savvy restaurateurs look for ways to lower costs, so a restaurant can succeed with fewer fannies in seats. Arising phoenix-like from the ashes of ventures that have crashed and burned is a new breed of restaurants, better adapted (we hope) to survive. And of course, there are still a few high-stakes players who follow the no-guts, no-glory approach.
We bring you some of the more interesting openings of the past year or so. Our list is not exhaustive. The nature of the business is risky (one in four restaurants fails within its first year). As always, we recommend you call in advance before venturing out.
Café Vincenzo
We think Café Vincenzo at Gateway Community College is one of our more intriguing, if not terribly practical, dining suggestions. Café Vincenzo is the real-life laboratory in which Gateway's food service and hotel management students practice what they have learned. Meals typically include house-baked rolls, soup, salad, a main course and a dessert. Guests can bring their own wine. The café is open to the public only on Thursdays and the cost of the meal is $20. Reservations are required, and seating takes place between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m. 20 Church St., New Haven, (203) 285-2269.
Elm City Market
Another interesting option is Elm City Market. It's a cooperative, but you don't have to be a member. And you can have your parking validated for up to an hour in the attached garage. Most people carry their food away, but they don't have to. There is a small seating area, even if it's a little difficult to spot. There are 16 sandwich combinations, made-to-order sandwiches, a salad bar, a hot bar, soups and stews, and a grab-and-go case. 777 Chapel St., New Haven, (203) 624-0441, elmcitymarket.coop.
Dee Asian Kitchen
At Dee Asian Kitchen, which bills itself as an authentic noodle, soup and dim sum emporium, a picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand pictures must be worth a million words. We wondered what was the national origin of the folks behind the colorful, scrupulously photographed, 114-item menu? After all, it lists dim sum (Chinese), tom yum soup (Thai), udong noodle soup (Japanese), chicken satay (Malaysian or Indonesian), and any number of Vietnamese soups. The answer appeared to be Vietnamese, based on proprietor Chongdee Leroux's last name and the admonition that "pho" rhymes with "duh," but it turned out to be Thai. 163 Temple St., New Haven, (203) 776-0007, deeasiankitchen.com.
Shake Shack
After the success of its first Connecticut venture in Westport, Shake Shack, an offshoot of Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, decided to bring its popular product to a city with a serious yen for hamburgers. Shake Shack is known not only for its tasty, freshly ground, 100 percent all natural Angus beef burgers, but for its flat-top dogs, crinkle-cut fries and frozen custards. Be there, or be Union Square! 986 Chapel St., New Haven, (203) 747-8483, shakeshack.com.
Jeera Thai
It doesn't seem like there's any such thing as too much affordable Thai food in a college town like New Haven. Located next to a mochi ice cream shop, Jeera is tiny but cute and welcoming, with tall counter seating and a single communal table. The place may be small but the menu isn't. We've made up our mind to try this one, including the Thai buffalo wings with spicy pomegranate dressing. Jeera does a good takeout business and also delivers for free within one mile of the restaurant. 216 Crown St., New Haven, (203) 777-7230, newhavenjeerathai.com.
New Haven Meatball House
Smart restaurateurs like Bob Potter, who owns c.o. jones and Prime 16 in New Haven, are thinking small — smaller concepts and smaller overhead. New Haven Meatball House takes a single thread — that early childhood love of meatballs that no one completely outgrows — and expands it into a winning formula. There are four types of meatballs, four types of sauces and three ways to eat them (served with choice of sauce and starch, as sliders or as brioche sandwiches). The college students are eating it up — and so are we! Open for dinner Monday through Thursday, lunch and dinner Friday through Sunday. 1180 Chapel St., New Haven, (203) 772-3360, nhmeatballhouse.com.
Zafra Cuban Restaurant & Rum Bar
Connecticut's first rum bar, this Cuban-themed eatery tucked away on Orange Street delights those who stumble upon it with more than 200 different types of rum, well-made cocktails, and vibrant food. Exuberant presentations and tropical flavors abound. Try popular choices like the Havana sampler, coconut ceviche for two, picadillo, churrasco steak, guava-glazed salmon, tres leches cake and rum bread pudding. 259 Orange St., New Haven, (203) 859-5342, zafrarumbar.com.
Michael's Downtown
Michael's Trattoria in Wallingford has enjoyed a sterling reputation for years. Since too few New Haveners apparently make it to Wallingford, Michael's has come to them in the form of Michael's Downtown, which occupies the challenging location that was previously The Blue Pearl. Michael's Downtown serves a largely Italian menu with a few exotic flourishes and an emphasis on pastas, meats and seafood. 130 Court St., New Haven, (203) 507-2677, michaelsdowntownrestaurant.com.
Despite its short length, only one block of which is commercially viable, High Street has become another pocket of restaurant activity in New Haven. Steamed cheeseburgers are out and frozen yogurt, salads and chocolate desserts are in. Ay! Salsa is out, and Rubamba is in, although larger Rubamba, which now also occupies the space next door, appears headed by the same chef. Rubamba serves gourmet Latin American fare, including, arepas, empanadas, quesadillas, tacos, and burritos. 25 High St., New Haven, (203) 773-0032, rubamba.com.
Little Salad Shop
You gotta love a story like this. In spring 2011, two fraternity brothers (Jerry Choinski and Etkin Tekin) who were juniors at Yale got tired of trying to find affordable, healthy off-campus food and decided, with the help of a friend (Tiffany Ho), to do something about it. And so, The Little Salad Shop was born. No little salad shop of horrors, everything is beautifully fresh, healthful and delicious. There are 12 intriguing combinations to choose from — or you can create your own salad. 45 High St., New Haven, (203) 691-5882, littlesaladshop.com.
One of our favorite area chefs, Israeli Mickey Josephs, who owns highly regarded Mickey's Restaurant in Hamden, has brought a little of his Hamden magic to the New Haven lunch scene. Choose your preferred type of shawarma (seasoned meat grilled on a vertical spit and shaved off for the customer), have it on pita or as a platter, and then choose your salads, toppings and sides. 21 Whitney Ave., New Haven, (203) 776-PITA (7482), sababafalafel.com.
We liked Press 200 when it was on Crown Street in the old Nikkita's space, and then it seemed to vanish without warning. But it popped up again as Press in attractive new digs on State Street, so all appears to be well. We remember Press as having some wonderful small plates, and that seems still to be the case, but the restaurant now appears to be placing a greater emphasis on artisan pizzas. Regardless, Press's menu is one that will pique the interest of true foodies. 932 State St., New Haven, (203) 787-0227, presspizza.com.
Cave à Vin Wine Bar
A lot seems to be happening on State Street these days, even without Café Goodfellas playing leapfrog. Cave à Vin seems to be New Haven's answer to Bin 228 — and that's a good thing. The one downside is, unlike Bin 228 in Hartford, Cave à Vin isn't really located within easy walking distance of entertainment venues. But visitors will enjoy its menu of artisanal cheeses, small plates, sandwiches, panini and desserts intended to complement its wine list of more than 60 wines by the glass and a selection of micro-brew beers, some of which are available as flights. "Wine drinkers make grape lovers," the website says. Indeed. 975 State St., New Haven, (203) 777-6206, caveavinwinebar.com.
Sushi Mizu
Despite a fairly convenient Whalley Avenue location about a block from the Broadway traffic octopus with the parking in the middle, Sushi Mizu promises free delivery. The online menu lists bountiful kitchen, hibachi and sushi offerings, but it doesn't mention that there's an all-you-can-eat option. However, according to Yelp "reviews," there is one. Although we're no fans of blogger opinion, the funniest Yelp comment we found was the following: "If word gets out about it and the students quit being little bitches, suck it up and walk past Popeye's... this place will thrive." 47 Whalley Ave., New Haven, (203) 777-9888, sushimizunewhaven.com.
Manjares in Westville has been open closer to three years than one. The breakfast and lunch spot has already won Westville residents' loyalty for its terrific baked goods and breakfast and lunch options. Always evolving rather than realizing an initial vision, it appears that it will soon be adding a juice bar in the adjacent space. But the chief reason we felt this neighborhood gem qualified as new is that for perhaps a year it has had a tapas menu, which is available Thursday through Saturday evenings. 838 Whalley Ave., New Haven, (203) 389-4489, manjaresfinepastries.com.
Wheeler's Market-Café & Restaurant
According to their website, the folks at Wheeler's live by extraordinary standards. Not only do they source as much of their produce locally as possible, they even source from all-natural heritage breeds to create their own housemade deli meats. Sustainability is a priority. Pay special attention to their lineup of salads and hot and cold sandwiches. 180 Amity Rd., Woodbridge, (203) 553-9055, wheelers-newhaven.com.
Yama Dora
The East Haven ethnic and culinary landscape has been changing rapidly, even if town leadership isn't quite ready for it and has to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. No worries — the rest of us are ready! But don't eat tacos or tapas or panchan plates as a political act, do it because it's good food. Korean-owned Yama Dora in Trolley Square Plaza is the place to get your kimchi, kalbi, bulgogi and bibimbap. The restaurant also offers diners the opportunity to grill their own marinated meats at their table using special halogen lamp grills. And finally, Yama Dora has a lineup of Japanese favorites and sushi. 352 Hemingway Ave., East Haven, (203) 467-9200, yamadora.com.
It has been a busy restaurant year in Branford, but for a home away from home consider Home. Hometown pride compels me to point out that Home is brought to you by a pair of Hamdenites. Owner Jared Schulefand is a Johnson & Wales graduate who most recently was the assistant director of food and beverage at the Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, Mass., while chef Mike DiVincenzo is a Culinary Institute of America graduate who served as chef de cuisine of the Tavern Restaurant at Chatham Bars Inn. They have combined to create a restaurant with an intriguing drink selection and a menu of comfort food prepared from scratch with a twist. 1114 Main St., Branford, (203) 483-5896, www.homerestaurantct.com.
Waterhouse Oyster Bar
After surrendering The Suburban up the street and tucking in next to their other restaurant venture, Tacuba Taco Bar, Arturo "Franco" and Suzette Franco-Camacho have opened one of Connecticut's most tantalizing seafood venues. Forget the fried clams and baked scrod staples of yesteryear and enjoy fanciful, healthful, delicious seafood in a casual yet attractive setting. Study the menu and specials carefully and you'll uncover some of your favorite Franco creations from Roomba and Bespoke/Sabor. Waterhouse Oyster Bar is a neighborhood gem. 1209 Main St., Branford, (203) 208-0423, waterhouseoysterbar.com.
Occupying the Suburban space forsaken by the Franco-Camachos, G-Zen introduces another notable husband-and-wife team in Mark Shadle and Ami Beach Shadle. The Shadles source many of their ingredients from their sustainable, organic Shadle Farm in Durham and prepare food from scratch made with "much love and intention." Mark was executive chef and co-owner of Middletown's It's Only Natural, while Ami founded and owns the Colonic Institute of West Hartford and Gmonkey, their biodiesel farm-to-street food truck. G-Zen is a restaurant to try, but don't take our word for it — it was named by Shape Magazine one of the top 10 upscale vegan restaurants in America. 2 E. Main St., Branford, (203) 208-0443, g-zen.com.
Ballou's Restaurant & Wine Bar
When Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, Sybil Creek was kinder to Ballou's, a spinoff of the original restaurant in Guilford, than it was to neighbors like Lenny's Indian Head Inn. We're sure owners and customers alike were grateful. Originally, it was a trip to the gastropubs of London and the cafés of Paris that gave owners Steve and Debbie Kaye the idea for Ballou's. Their tremendous wine list is complemented by a menu of appetizers, cheeses, fondues, sandwiches, panini, pastas and flat-bread pizzas. 2 Sybil Ave., Branford, (203) 208-1701, ballouswinebar.com.
The Wharf at Madison Beach Hotel
We alluded to restaurateurs increasingly thinking small. This eatery is not an example. And if you were starting with one of the best pieces of seaside real estate east of New Haven, why would you think small? The Madison Beach Hotel has 33 guest rooms, each with an ocean view. Its restaurant, The Wharf, benefits from panoramic views and a wraparound porch. While heeding the farm-to-table imperative, executive chef John Cortesi's New England-inspired menu adeptly balances the creative with the classic. 94 W. Wharf Rd., Madison, (203) 350-0014, madisonbeachhotel.com.
Haywire Burger Bar
We not only love the gourmet burger trend, we go haywire over this particular burger outpost. Using Creekstone Farms 100 percent Black Angus beef, Haywire produces some of Connecticut's best and most intriguing burgers. But burgers aren't all Haywire does well. There are some nice vegetarian options, including an array of salads. With entrées like pecan Bourbon chicken, steak frîtes, mac and cheese, fish tacos, Cajun grilled salmon, and barbecued ribs, there should be something for just about everyone. 730 Boston Post Rd., Westbrook, (860) 391-8479, facebook.com/haywireburgerbar.
Red House
Out with Bistro du Glace, in with Red House. Is this Southern-BBQ-and-music-themed joint Deep River's answer to Hartford's Black-Eyed Sally's? Although we haven't yet tried it, we've set foot inside and can report that it's really, really red. And it's hard not to be tempted by down-home items like pig wings, mean beans, kickin' chicken, jambalaya, and grilled fish tacos, not to mention the "House Q" specialties like Dr. Pepper-basted beef brisket. But after all of these years of cooking with wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages, has cooking with soda suddenly becoming trendy? See next entry. 158 Main St., Deep River, (860) 526-2600, redhousect.com.
This Nuevo Latino eatery, which replaced Lupo, apparently retained the prior restaurant's mixologist because of his popularity with customers. But judging by its menu of Spanish, Latin American and Caribbean offerings, Trapiche, which means sugar cane crusher or mill, is working hard to earn some popularity of its own. Certainly there's nothing staid about a menu that includes root-beer-braised beef brisket nachos, pepita-crusted duck breast with a blackberry Grand Marnier sauce, or cinnamon bone-in 14-ounce prime pork chop with poppy seed roasted apples and apricot marmalade. It does sound, though, as if it might be living up to its name. 189 Middlesex Ave., Chester, (860) 526-9021, trapichect.com.
Six Main
This restaurant occupies the newly restored Chester Savings Bank, which was constructed in 1902. A clean modernistic look, with white walls and bare wood tables, shows off the fresh, colorful, plant-based food of executive chef Rachel Carr. Carr has teamed up with building owner Bill De Jonge, whose Upper Pond Farm in Old Lyme grows the food for the restaurant — an ideal case of farm-to-table dining. Although the restaurant serves a number of raw and vegan items, the kitchen incorporates eggs and cheese in some of its dishes. Freshness and creativity are have been incorporated everywhere. 6 Main St., Chester, (860) 322-4212, sixmain.com.
Old Lyme Inn
New owners Ken and Christine Kitchings have been renovating the Old Lyme Inn from top to bottom. A jazz club is planned for next summer. In the meantime, with executive chef Dennis Young at the kitchen helm, the inn has been putting out some of the freshest and most creative food on the eastern shoreline. 85 Lyme St., Old Lyme, (860) 434-2600, oldlymeinn.com.
Ballo Italian Restaurant & Social Club
This dining suggestion may be our farthest afield, but we've tried it already and we're fans. The space is said to resemble a gothic abbey built in the 12th century in the hills of Tuscany. Whatever — it's pretty striking. When the mood hits, dancing may take place on window platforms and even on tabletops. All patrons must be 21 years old and able to prove it. But we're foodies and wouldn't be recommending Ballo if the Italian fare, especially the housemade pastas, wasn't terrific. 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville, (860) 862-1100, mohegansun.com.
Dan's Dog House
Sometimes it's a good thing to be in the doghouse, especially if it's Dan's Dog House in West Haven. This cute throwback looks like a dog house; there's even a hound with a hot dog in its mouth perched on top. At Dan's, you can dine in, take out, or drive through. In addition to dogs of various types and never-frozen 100 percent Angus beef burgers, you can get soup, salads, subs, sandwiches, wraps and seafood (including lobster rolls). 473 Saw Mill Rd., West Haven, (203) 932-DOGS (3647), dansdoghouse.com.
Chops Steak & Fish Grill
Neighborhood icon Chuck's Steakhouse is no more, but apparently it's no less, either. Continuing in the same vein is Chops Steak & Fish Grill, whose website says it "maintains the best features of Chuck's and improves areas that needed attention." Chops says it still uses the same high quality cuts of beef, has upgraded the salad bar, and has added pasta and seafood entrées. 1003 Boston Post Rd., West Haven, (203) 934-5300, chopssteakandfish.com.
Plan B Burger Bar
Plan B is a Connecticut restaurant group we can hardly get enough of. The folks at Plan B give any burger joint in the Nutmeg State a run for its money with their lineup of beef burgers "cut from 100 percent verified humane, fresh, never frozen, wet-aged whole chucks and hand-ground on premises daily." But burgers aren't the entirety of the offerings, with tempting appetizers, soups, salads, and "big plates" like horseradish-encrusted salmon, shepherd's pie, fish and chips, country meatloaf and lobster mac & cheese. Hopefully, its ownership plans to sprinkle a couple more of these joints around Greater New Haven. We promise we'll do our part. 1638 Boston Post Rd., Milford, (203) 713-8700, planbburger.com.
Indigo by the Water
Indigo by the Water took over the space formerly occupied by Cabo, and Cancun Charlie's Cantina before that. At Indigo, a good drink selection and fun food complement a chic interior, great deck and superb view of Milford Landing. Indigo's contemporary American menu is imbued with a Latin American flair. Veteran chef Edwin Maldonado uses as many fresh local ingredients as possible. 1 Schooner Ln., Milford, (203) 882-1999, indigobythewater.com.
Solun Tapas Bar & Restaurant
Solun is one of several Latin American-owned tapas restaurants that have sprung up in Greater New Haven, capitalizing on the burgeoning popularity of the cuisine of Spain (but adding to public confusion regarding the distinct cuisines of Spain and Latin America). Solun's owner, veteran Guatemalan restaurateur Carlos Hernandez, previously purchased Meigas in Norwalk from Spaniard Ignacio Blanco, and Solun borrows heavily from the Blanco playbook in menu and décor. The 125-seat restaurant, whose name is Spanish for "the sun and the moon," offers a mixture of tapas and entrées for lunch and dinner. 245 Amity Rd., Woodbridge, (203) 298-9741, soluntapasbar.com.
Seasons at Oak Lane
This Woodbridge country club eatery recently opened its doors to the public, following in the footsteps of taking its place alongside its sibling Seasons at the Tradition in Wallingford. There's a broad array of casual fare, including sandwiches, burgers and pizzas, but there are also more sophisticated entrées for those more formally inclined. The restaurant is open seven days per week for lunch and dinner. Of course, if they're letting us in, there goes the neighborhood. 1027 Racebrook Rd., Woodbridge, (203) 389-5555, seasonsatoaklane.com.
Smoke & Bones BBQ
"Served fast but cooked slooow" is Smoke & Bones' motto, and apparently it ain't just smoke and mirrors. No, this joint aspires to be real barbecue, the kind where the sauce is secondary because the flavor is in the meat. Smoke & Bones serves breakfast, buckets of chicken, smoked barbecue, fresh seafood and po' boys the way Raylan Givens serves warrants in "Justified." 1 New Haven Ave., Derby, (203) 516-5994, smokeandbones.com.
Although Koi describes itself as "Asian fusion," it would be more accurate to call it "pan-Asian." Judging by the menu, Koi faithfully reproduces dishes from a number of cuisines, especially Japanese, but it doesn't usually fuse together elements of diverse cuisines into individual dishes. Semantics aside, Koi has a large and appealing menu, with particular emphasis on sushi and hibachi. Although the hibachi is prepared in the kitchen, not at the table, don't be Koi — you know you want some. 375A Main St., Ansonia, (203) 308-2380, koisushict.com.
Tavern 1757
Tavern 1757 is an offshoot of Villa Bianca, a prominent banquet facility on Route 34 in Seymour that, like Anthony's Ocean View in New Haven or the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, most New Haven area residents eventually wind up visiting for some event or other. And like the Aqua Turf Club, which has elegant New Mill Restaurant nearby, Villa Bianca has opened handsome Tavern 1757 next door. Tavern 1757 calls itself an Italian country restaurant with global influences. If the food tastes only half as good as the setting looks, it will be terrific. 317 Roosevelt Dr., Seymour, (203) 516-5461, tavern1757.com.
8 Fifty Wood-Fired Pizza
Maybe some folks along the shore don't realize it, but Middlebury is in New Haven County. And word is that this town of 7,000 odd residents (we don't actually mean they're odd) just got a good one in 8 Fifty Wood-Fired Pizza. 8 Fifty isn't the cost of their 12-inch pizzas, we're sorry to say, and it's not their street address, either — it turns out it's the temperature of their oven. True pizza lovers will travel to find the best pizzas, and judging by the photos, these 12-inch personal pizzas look worth the trip. 489 Middlebury Rd., Middlebury, (203) 528-4457, 8fiftypizza.com.
Cast Iron Soul
New Haven's loss is Hamden's great gain as some of the best Southern cooking you'll ever find settles into the space formerly occupied by Taste of Jamaica. The split setup of its predecessor is preserved, meaning you can get carry-out from the side street entrance or dine in style in the main dining room. Enjoy soul, Cajun and Creole influences applied with subtlety and artistry, thanks to proprietors Steve Ross and Shayla Crawford's 20 years of experience in the restaurant business. You haven't encountered soul food like this since, well, the 1997 movie Soul Food. 1012 Dixwell Ave., Hamden, (203) 495-8400, castironsoul.com.
Cumin India
Taking the place of the old IHOP in Hamden, Cumin India was welcomed by a town lacking Indian food. Cumin India has an extensive menu, with offerings sure to please carnivores and vegetarians alike. There are even a few Indo-Chinese dishes, a fused cuisine that has become extremely popular in places like London, Toronto and even Nairobi, while in Connecticut it is easier to find in both Fairfield and Hartford counties than in New Haven County. But if you like sweets, we would worry a little that the "desert" could be dry. 266 Skiff St., Hamden, (203) 248-6464, cuminindia.com.
Located in a small strip mall at Dixwell and Evergreen in Hamden is Hokkaido. Although the restaurant opened recently, we managed to talk to the owners. Hokkaido, named after Japan's northernmost and second largest island, will serve traditional Japanese fare, hibachi dinners and sushi. Due presumably to space concerns, the hibachi dinners will be prepared in the kitchen, not at the table. The sushi menu is extremely varied and the kitchen menu looks equally ambitious. 2779 Dixwell Ave., Hamden, (203) 287-8888.
Luca Ristorante
Replacing Brix in Cheshire is Luca Ristorante, a family-owned-and-operated restaurant emphasizing traditional Italian fare and seafood. Owner Dino Ricciardone says 40 years of culinary experience have taught him that people's favorite restaurants are "usually local, serve fresh, high quality food, provide friendly service and offer a pleasant atmosphere." We haven't made it to Luca yet, but it sounds like a winning formula to us. 1721 Highland Ave., Cheshire, (203) 439-2727, lucaristorantect.com.
First New Haven County gained a Wood-n-Tap in Orange, and now one has just opened in Wallingford. We're always happy to see more Wood-n-Taps, for their happy-go-lucky atmosphere and elevated pub fare. We particularly recommend their bar bites (turkey, chicken, bison and beef) — although if they're planning to migrate any closer to New Haven they should probably develop falafel or veggie burger bar bites as well. 970 N. Colony Rd., Wallingford, (203) 265-WOOD (9663), woodntap.com.
El Pulpo Restaurant & Tapas Bar
Southington has rolled out the welcome mat for this appealing little tapas joint located next to an auto service center. El Pulpo is owned by Ecuadorian Jaime Lopez, who also has La Paella in Norwalk and Taberna in Bridgeport and used to work for Ignacio Blanco (whose DNA is found in most Spanish restaurants in Connecticut) at Meson Galicia in Norwalk. The tapas and entrées are Spanish with some Latin American influence, and there's a nice selection of affordable Spanish and South American wines. 1217 Queen St., Southington, (860) 410-1147, elpulpoandtapasbar.com.
Tibetan Kitchen
When it closed after 14 years, we mourned Little Tibet in Middletown, which had some of the best Tibetan fare we'd ever had, not just in Connecticut but anywhere. So we were heartened recently to hear that Tibetan Kitchen was opening in the same town. Both proprietors' families apparently had Tibetan restaurants in India, from which the menu draws. There is said to be a wonderful selection for non-vegetarians, vegetarians and vegans. We can't vouch for the food, because we haven't yet made it to the restaurant. But it's definitely on our list! 574 Main St., Middletown, *860) 343-3073, tibetankitchen.us.

NEWARK, NJ - Democratic Assemblyman and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate John Wisniewski campaigned in Newark to talk about the state's housing issues, believing that they should be tackled with a practical approach as part of a progressive agenda.
"Affordable housing is a moral obligation. We have to address this gap in our humanity," said Wisniewski, of Middlesex County, to a group of more than 30 people assembled in the basement of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Newark's Central Ward on Monday night, just hours before a major winter blizzard was to blanket Newark in snow.
"We have to call it what it is," Wisniewski said. "We have a foreclosure crisis because we have a greed crisis. We have to make sure that the foreclosure crisis is solved in favor of all of those families that are looking for truly affordable housing."
New Jersey's share of distressed properties is the highest percentage in the nation, according to a 2016 national foreclosure report, with Essex County leading the state in foreclosures with 6,367 and a rate of 4.12 percent.
Affordable housing also remains a major concern throughout the state. In a decision that could reshape hundreds of communities, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in January that municipalities must allow the development of affordable housing for poor and middle-class families whose needs were ignored for more than 16 years, a period when state the Council on Affordable Housing, or COAH, was effectively neutralized by legal and political disputes.
The decision reaffirmed the Court's commitment to a series of landmark housing rulings in the Mount Laurel cases that date to 1975. For decades, New Jersey justices have said that the state's poorest residents have a right to affordable housing opportunities in their communities and that towns must allow a reasonable level of development. The ruling is likely to be a catalyst for the development of tens of thousands of affordable housing units in New Jersey over the next decade.
Newark resident Carl Hill asked Wisniewski a question about how addressing affordable housing issues will affect gentrification in the city, which he said "will move people out" as dispossessed homeowners become renters in a market with anticipated higher rental rates.
Wisniewski answered by promoting his plan to establish a state land trust plan to acquire land rights to where foreclosed properties are located. Wisniewski maintained that funds that had been earmarked for affordable housing that were never used would form the seed money for this program, which would remove the land costs from buying foreclosed properties, therefore facilitating their purchase and future productive use.
"The land is owned by the state land trust, and the structure is owned by the homeowner," Wisniewski said. "This makes the structure that much cheaper. You want to make sure that somebody gets ownership. This is the first step."
Wisniewski is locked in a Democratic primary battle with several other candidates, including state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D - Union); former Treasury official and federal prosecutor Jim Johnson; and former Goldman Sachs executive and U.S. Ambassador to Germany Phil Murphy.
In a speech at the Newark campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology in September, Murphy proposed the creation of of a public bank, owned by the people of New Jersey, designed to make investments in and for New Jersey.
Murphy said that he believed the creation a public bank would provide capital to communities that have been ignored by the financial system, including minority communities and businesses owned by people of color.
Wisniewski, however, challenged the concept of a public bank concept, pointing to Trenton's recent record regarding fiscal governance.
"We have not fully funded our pension obligation for 20 years. We have overspent our Transportation Trust fund for 20 years. We have not fully funded education for the past seven years," Wisniewski said, who has served in the Assembly for 21 years and is a former state Democratic chairman.
"The concept of giving a banking role to the same governmental institutions that have failed us on pensions and education and transportation just worries me," he said.
Throughout Wisniewski's Newark town hall meeting, he repeatedly referred to Wall Street's role in the foreclosure crisis, a not-to-subtle jab at Murphy. In an interview afterwards, Wisniewski questioned the role of money in a primary election process where Murphy, who campaigned extensively in Newark last fall immediately before several major potential rivals declined to enter the race, is widely seen as the front runner.
"It is not only accepted, but expected that someone will try to buy the nomination," Wisniewski said. "In levels of leadership in our party, there is not any sense of awkwardness at the huge amount of money that trades hands to obtain party support."
The Murphy campaign did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The Wisniewski town hall event was hosted by the People's Organization for Progress, a grassroots, community organization based in Newark.
Lawrence Hamm, the New Jersey state chairman and founder of the organization, noted that his personal support for Wisniewski's gubernatorial is based on Wisniewski's support for former presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. Wisniewski was the New Jersey chairman for Sanders' 2016 campaign.
"The question is how the Sanders supporters become a political force that can push the Democratic Party in a progressive direction," said Hamm, who noted that Wisniewski has addressed his organization four times. "The first step was the Sanders campaign. Wisniewski's campaign here in New Jersey is another step along that path."
Sanders has declined to endorse any candidate in the 2017 New Jersey Democratic primary, to be decided in June. But Wisniewski said that he wants voters to based their decision not on his support for Sanders, but on his qualifications for the job.
"I want to make it clear - I supported Bernie Sanders, but this is not Bernie Sanders 2.0. This is New Jersey, and I'm a New Jersey progressive," Wisniewski said. "The progressive message in particular appeals to urban areas because it fundamentally deals with a rigged system that doesn't work for everybody in America or New Jersey."

Reese Witherspoon in Court for Parents' Bigamy Lawsuit
Reese Witherspoon appeared in a Tennessee court on 11 May
in an emergency conservatorship case as her parents are involved in a
bigamy lawsuit.
Mary Elizabeth Witherspoon, known as Betty, filed a
lawsuit in Davidson County, Tennessee on 8 May alleging the Legally Blonde
star's father John Witherspoon wed another woman while still married to her.
She claims John exchanged vows with Tricianne Taylor on
14 January this year and she is seeking to have that union annulled, insisting
she doesn't want a divorce, despite the pair being separated for several years.
Reese joined her father in court in Nashville for a
closed hearing. She was videoed guiding her dad into the courtroom where
Probate Judge Randy Kennedy listened to the case.
According to The Tennessean, Judge Kennedy deals with
conservatorship and determining mental capacity. Betty claimed in her affidavit
that her 70-year-old husband was suffering from dementia, claiming he had no
clue who she was and denied knowledge of their marriage when she confronted him
about his new wife.
The judge sealed all records in the case and barred the media from the hearing.

While only history can take the final measure of the stature of Pope John Paul II, in the eyes of contemporaries
he was — spiritually, morally, and intellectually — a towering figure. Even before his death April 2, 2005, at the age of 84, many called him "John Paul the Great."
He played a crucial — and possibly decisive — role in the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War.
He resisted forces threatening Church unity from within, while launching initiatives to position Christianity for the third millennium.

Part 1 (PDF)
Part 2 (PDF)
An ardent defender of human life on issues from abortion to the death penalty, he used fiery eloquence to champion what he called the culture of life against the culture of death.
Inevitably, Pope John Paul II had critics. Some objected to his teaching on sexual morality, his insistence that the Church cannot ordain women, his continued requirement of celibacy for priests of the Western Church and his centralized leadership style. He was blamed for intervening too much in bishops' affairs — or else, as in the sex-abuse scandal in the United States, for not intervening enough.
Resistance to these and other elements of his pontificate may have set the stage for bitter conflicts in the years ahead. But the critics could take nothing from the remarkable force of his personality or his extraordinary achievements.
Pope John Paul II combined diverse, even seemingly contradictory, traits and did so with ease. He was a charismatic contemplative,
a prophetic voice of orthodoxy, a sophisticated intellectual who preached and practiced fervent devotion to the Virgin Mary, a philosopher with an actor's flair and a love for skiing and hiking.
Biography/Home Life
Final Years
By naming bishops for 26 years, he reshaped the world hierarchy. He published a stream of documents comprising perhaps
the largest body of teaching by any pope. He was a human rights advocate who opposed abortion and birth control, and he defended traditional marriage and family life in innovative theological terms.
Linking these and other themes was his visionary determination to lead the Church into the third millennium and spread Christianity in developing regions of the world while rekindling the faith in post-Christian areas like Western Europe.
Central to virtually all he did was the conviction emphatically stated in 1979 in his first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis ("The Redeemer of Man"), that "Jesus Christ is the center of the universe and of history."
It was on Oct. 16, 1978, the second day of the conclave to elect a pope, that Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Krakow, Poland, was elected 263rd successor of St. Peter as head of the universal Church and Bishop of Rome.
He chose the name John Paul to signal continuity with his immediate predecessor, John Paul I, whose pontificate had lasted only 33 days, as well as Popes John XXIII (1958-1963), who summoned the Second Vatican Council, and Paul VI (1963-78), who presided over the
last three of its four sessions and the next 15 turbulent years.
On Oct. 17, 1978, the day after he was elected, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass in the Sistine Chapel and delivered his first homily urbi et orbi ("to the Church and the world"). Here is an excerpt (he uses the traditional papal plural to refer to himself):
"Brothers, dear sons and daughters, the recent happenings of the Church and of the world are for us all a healthy warning: How will our pontificate be? What is the destiny the Lord has assigned to His Church in the next years? What road will mankind take in this period of time as it approaches the year 2000? To these bold questions the only answer is: "God knows" (cf. Cor 12:2-3).
"The course of our life which has brought us unexpectedly to the supreme responsibility and office of apostolic Service is of little interest. Our person — we ought to say — should disappear when confronted with the weighty office we must fill. And so a speech must be changed into an appeal. After praying to the Lord, we feel the need of your prayers to gain that indispensable, heavenly strength that will make it possible for us to take up the work of our predecessors from the point where they left off. . . .
"We behold also the Christian families and communities, the many associations dedicated to the apostolate, the faithful who even if they are not known to us individually, are not anonymous, not strangers, nor even in a lower place, for they are included in the glorious company of the Church of Christ. Among them we look with particular affection on the weak, the poor, the sick and those afflicted with sorrow.
"Now, at the beginning of our universal pastoral ministry, we wish to open to them our heart. Do not you, brothers and sisters, share by your sufferings in the passion of our Redeemer, and in a certain way complete it? (cf. Col 1:24). The unworthy successor of St. Peter, who proposes to explore 'the unsearchable riches of Christ' (Ephes 3:8), has the greatest need of your help, your prayers, your devotedness or 'sacrifice,' and this he most humbly asks of you."
His pontificate set precedents in many ways.
Nothing in Karol Jozef Wojtyla's family background hinted at all that lay ahead.
He was born May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, an industrial town near Krakow. His parents were Karol Wojtyla, who had been an administrative officer in the Austrian army and was a lieutenant in the Polish army until retiring in 1927, and Emilia Kaczorowska Wojtyla, who died in 1929 giving birth to a stillborn third child. His older brother Edmund, a physician, died in 1932, and his father in 1941.
After attending schools in Wadowice, he moved with his father to Krakow in 1938, and there enrolled in the philosophy faculty of the Jagiellonian University. At the university, he also was active in a theater group.
With the outbreak of World War II on Sept. 1, 1939, life changed forever for Wojtyla and countless others. Nazi occupation forces closed the university, and to avoid deportation to Germany, the young man worked in a quarry as a stone cutter and later in a chemical plant.
In February 1940, he met Jan Tyranowski, a tailor who became his spiritual mentor and introduced him to the writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. Despite efforts by the Nazis to stamp out Polish culture, he quietly pursued his studies and acted in underground theater.
In October 1942, Wojtyla became a student for the priesthood in the clandestine seminary of Cardinal Adam Sapieha of Krakow. Struck by a truck on Feb. 29, 1944, he was hospitalized until March 12. In August, Cardinal Sapieha transferred him and the other seminarians to the archbishop's residence, where they lived and worked until the war's end.
He was ordained by the cardinal on Nov. 1, 1946,and on Nov. 15 he left Poland to begin advanced studies in Rome at the Angelicum — the Pontifical Athenaeum (later University) of St. Thomas Aquinas, conducted by the Dominicans.
Earning a licentiate degree in 1947, Father Wojtyla did pastoral work that summer among Polish workers in France, Belgium and Holland.
In 1948, he successfully defended his thesis on "The Problems of Faith in the Works of St. John of the Cross" but was not awarded a doctorate because he could not afford to have the thesis published, as was required.
Returning to Poland, now in the grip of a communist regime, he was awarded a doctorate in theology by the Jagiellonian University, did pastoral work, and served as a chaplain to university students. Resuming studies in philosophy and theology in 1951, in 1953 he defended a
thesis on the ethics of Max Scheler, a leader in the philosophical movement called phenomenology.
Having received a second doctorate, he joined the philosophy faculty at the Catholic University of Lublin while also teaching moral theology and social ethics in the major seminary of Krakow. The Lublin philosophers were regarded as among the most creative of that day.
Besides teaching, Father Wojtyla contributed essays and poetry to Catholic periodicals and wrote several plays. His book "Love and Responsibility," an exposition in original philosophical and theological terms of Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality, was published in 1960.
He also carried on a notable pastoral apostolate among young lay intellectuals and professionals.
It was on July 4, 1958, during one of the summer kayak trips he regularly took with these friends, that Pope Pius XII named him Auxiliar y Bishop to Archbishop Eugeniusz Baziak, apostolic administrator of Krakow.
Archbishop Baziak had been "administrator" of the archdiocese since Cardinal Sapieha's death in 1951, because of a dispute between the Vatican and the Polish communist government over the naming of bishops prevented his appointment as ordinary. After Archbishop Baziak's death in 1962, Bishop Wojtyla became vicar capitular and then, on Jan. 13, 1964, archbishop of Krakow — the first residential head of the
archdiocese in 13 years.
He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), speaking several times and helping to draft Gaudium et Spes, (the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World).
He also contributed to Dignitatis Humanae (the Declaration on Religious Freedom) and Inter Mirifica (the Decree on the Instruments of Social Communication).
Pope Paul VI made him a cardinal in the consistory of June 28, 1967. Although scheduled to attend the first general assembly of the world Synod of Bishops in Rome that September and October, he stayed home instead as a gesture of solidarity with Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski of Warsaw, Poland's Primate, whom the communist government refused a passport.
In October 1969, he participated in the first extraordinary assembly of the synod. Also in that year, his major philosophical work, "The Acting Person," was published and he became vice president of the new Polish bishops' conference.
In 1971, he took part in the second general assembly of the synod and was elected to the synod-planning body. He continued to attend synod assemblies up to his election as Pope.
May 8,1972, marked the opening of the archdiocesan synod of Krakow, which he convened and was to see conclude during his visit to Poland as Pope in 1979. In that year he published "Foundations of Renewal: A Study on the Implementation of the Second Vatican Council."
Cardinal Wojtyla traveled widely during the 1970s. Besides frequent trips to Rome, his journeys took him to Western Europe, to North America including the United States, and even to Australia for a Eucharistic Congress in March 1973, with stops in the Philippines and New Guinea.
In Poland, he joined Cardinal Wyszynski and the other bishops in the tortuous process by which the Church not only negotiated its survival under communism but won increasingly more freedom,while at the same time championing the nation's resistance to oppression.
In 1976, he preached the Lenten retreat for Pope Paul and members of the Roman Curia. The meditations were published under the title "A Sign of Contradiction." That year, he also took part in the international Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia.
After Pope Paul's death on Aug. 6, 1978, he participated in the conclave that elected Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice to the papacy on Aug. 26.
When John Paul I died unexpectedly on Sept. 28, Cardinal Wojtyla joined 110 other cardinals in a second conclave — from which he emerged on the second day of voting, Oct. 16, as Pope John Paul II.
His tremendous work and service — cataloged, honored and sparking new inspiration in this special tribute issue of Our Sunday Visitor (April 17, 2005) — would shape the Church and the world in the face of the third millennium.
From the very start of his papacy, Pope John Paul II committed himself to carrying out the program of the Second Vatican Council. Rather than simply standing pat on the council, however, he put his own master plan on the record in March 1979 in the encyclical Redemptor Hominis ("The Redeemer of Man").
This notable exercise in "Christian anthropology" situated the human person at the center of the Church's concerns. Echoing Vatican II, the new Pope insisted that human nature and human destiny can only be fully understood in light of Christ. These themes foreshadowed the message of many other documents and initiatives in the years to come.
Social doctrine was among the areas in which Pope John Paul II's teaching marked an important advance. In line with his personalist
emphasis, he defended human rights against what he saw as the principal dehumanizing forces of the 20th century — state totalitarianism as found in Soviet communism, fascism and Nazism, and Western-style consumerist individualism grounded in atheistic secular humanism.
Projecting a profound skepticism of all secular utopias, he once wrote: "When people think they possess the secret of a perfect social organization which makes evil impossible, they also think that they can use any means, including violence and deceit, in order to bring it into being."
Pope John Paul II identified three causes for the fall of communism present within the communist system itself — violations of workers' rights, gross economic inefficiency and "the spiritual void brought about by atheism." Others added a fourth, extrinsic cause — his own pastoral visits to Poland in June 1979 and June 1983, which sparked Polish religious fervor and sense of national identity, and his resolute support of the Solidarity labor movement.
With the collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe and eventually in the Soviet Union, it became increasingly clear that Pope John Paul II was hardly less troubled by the individualistic consumerism of the West, with its relativistic ethic and hedonistic lifestyle.
Much of this concern focused on the United States. During visits to the United States in 1979, 1987, 1995 and 1999, he exhorted Americans to live by the values of their founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, with their philosophical basis in natural law.
In the 1988 encyclical Sollicitudo Rei Socialis ("On Social Concerns"), the Pope spoke of a phenomenon he called "superdevelopment,"
described in terms that fit wealthy nations such as America. Saying it "consists in an excessive availability of material goods for the benefit of certain social groups," he warned that superdevelopment "easily makes people slaves of 'possession' and of immediate gratification."
Authentic development, he said, requires growth in all dimensions of the person — spiritual as well as material — and this demands a fundamental change in lifestyle by affluent nations.
Friends of free-market capitalism were heartened by the appearance three years later of a second wide-ranging social encyclical, Centesimus Annus ("The Hundredth Year"), in which he seemed to take a more benign view of capitalism. There, the Pope acknowledged the
advantages of the market economy while warning against "radical capitalistic ideology."
This was a theme he returned to often, particularly assailing the economic neoliberalism that he accused of putting profit ahead of persons in developing countries.
Pope John Paul II strongly opposed the United States over the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and the Iraq War in 2003. Especially, though, his quarrel with American government policies came to a head at the United Nations conference on population and development in Cairo in September 1994, where he clashed with the Clinton administration over abortion. The Pope's position prevailed — the conference document was amended to say abortion is not an acceptable means of family planning.
The battle was joined again a year later in connection with the U.N.-sponsored conference on women in Beijing. On this occasion
he appointed Harvard University law professor Mary Ann Glendon to head the Holy See's delegation, the first time a woman had been named to such a post.
Controversies like these generated criticism of John Paul among people who called him out of step with modern times. His opposition to abortion and contraception, as well as to the ordination of women as priests, also led some to accuse him of insensitivity to women.
In fact, though, in his writing and pastoral work he had for years showed deep appreciation for women.He was the only pontiff in history whose published works included poems and plays warmly celebrating married love, and as pope, he devoted several major documents to women's dignity and rights, including the 1988 apostolic letter Mulier is Dignitatem ("On the Dignity and Vocation of Women").
Moreover, although it only added to feminists' discontent, devotion to a woman, the Virgin Mary, was central to his own spirituality.
While reflecting Polish popular piety, it was elaborated in sophisticated theological terms in the 1987 encyclical Redemptoris Mater ("The Mother of the Redeemer").
John Paul also had a relationship of mutual esteem with Mother Teresa of Calcutta, foundress of the Missionaries of Charity, who died in 1997 and whom he declared blessed on Oct. 19, 2003.
With her he shared an abhorrence of abortion, spelled out — along with other elements of his teaching on the sanctity of life — in the 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae ("The Gospel of Life"). Besides condemning abortion, the document rejected euthanasia and took a strong stand against capital punishment, a subject John Paul often returned to while requesting clemency for persons facing execution.
Undergirding his position on such questions was the moral philosophy set forth in the 1993 encyclical Veritatis Splendor ("The Splendor of Truth"). Here, the Pope affirmed a natural-law ethic and absolute moral norms, while rejecting proportionalism, a moral theory currently held by many Catholic moral theologians in the United States and other countries.
In Fides et Ratio ("Faith and Reason"), published in 1998, he wrote of the need philosophy and theology have for each other,
and called for a renewal of philosophical studies grounded in the traditional conviction of Western thought that it is possible to know the truth. Loss of that certainty in modern times, he wrote, had brought about a theoretical and practical state of doubt best described as "nihilism."
With Pope John Paul II's approval, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, under Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, too a number of steps that Catholics of the left bitterly assailed.
These included declarations that the views of the Swiss theologian Father Hans Küng and the American theologian Father Charles Curran disqualified them as "Catholic theologians" so that they could not hold posts in pontifically approved theological faculties.
In 1999, the congregation barred two Americans, Father Robert Nugent and Sister Jeannine Gramick, from pastoral work with homosexuals because of doubts about their views on the morality of homosexuality.
Documents published by the congregation in 1984 and 1986 criticized aspects of the theology of liberation. The congregation also rejected a plan by German bishops to let some divorced and remarried Catholics receive Communion without having their first marriages declared invalid.
In 1999, the Pope himself insisted that the bishops of Germany quit a government-backed counseling program for pregnant women because some of the women used certificates from Catholic counseling centers to get abortions.
Other important — and controversial — statements from Cardinal Ratzinger's congregation in these years concerned such matters as homosexuality and same-sex unions, the responsibilities of Catholic politicians and Catholic voters, and the unique salvific necessity of Christ
and the Catholic Church.
Conflict with the Catholic far right also was sometimes a feature of this pontificate.
The best-known case involved Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, a French missionary bishop violently opposed to Vatican II's teaching on religious liberty and its liturgical innovations. In 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre was excommunicated for ordaining bishops without authorization from the Pope. He died in 1991. Some of his followers have been reconciled with Rome, but some remain in schism.
John Paul worked hard in the cause of Christian unity, meeting and often praying with other Christian leaders, including the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople and the archbishop of Canterbury.
He placed special emphasis on reunion with the Orthodox, calling the Eastern and Western Churches the "two lungs" of the Church, and was warmly received by some Orthodox bodies — while receiving a cold shoulder from the Russian and Greek Orthodox.
In 1999, he approved a historic joint Lutheran-Catholic statement on the topic of justification, a central point of dispute in the 16th century Protestant Reformation.
Spelling out his ecumenical aspirations in the 1995 encyclical Ut Unum Sint ("That All May Be One"), he took the potentially momentous step of inviting other Christians to suggest possible changes in the exercise of papal primacy. In 1995, he also published Orientale Lumen ("The Light of the East"), on Catholic- Orthodox relations.
This Pope, whose boyhood friends included Jews,also made improving Catholic-Jewish relations a priority of his pontificate. Besides establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, in 1998 he approved a Vatican declaration on the roots of the World War II Holocaust. Some complained that it did not go far enough in admitting Christian guilt, but the document was generally viewed as an important forward step.
He also made important pronouncements after world synods of bishops on matters like religious education, family life, the role of the laity, the priesthood, the consecrated life and bishops.
Pope John Paul II was convinced that God had chosen him to lead the Church into the third millennium, and an outpouring of papal travels and special events accompanied the jubilee year in 2000. His journeys included trips to the Middle East and the Holy Land. He also published a document called Novo Millennio Ineunte ("At the Beginning of the New Millennium"), setting out an agenda for the Church.
John Paul's reign was not an unbroken string of triumphs. He was profoundly disturbed by the progressive secularization of Europe in these decades, calling it "the loss of Europe's Christian memory."
The European Union's refusal in 2004 to include a reference to Europe's Christian roots in the preamble to the new European constitution was a grave disappointment.
The Pope also was frustrated by his failure to obtain a green light from the Russian Orthodox Church for a pastoral visit to Russia.
A still-mysterious event in his papacy was the Pope's wounding by a Turkish gunman, Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot him at close range as he greeted the crowd in St. Peter's Square on May 13,1981. It is not known whether the assassin acted alone or on behalf of others — and which others.
After a six-hour operation, John Paul was hospitalized in the Gemelli Hospital for 77 days. In a dramatic gesture of forgiveness, he visited Ali Agca in the Rebibbia prison on Dec.27, 1983. The Pope attributed his survival to Our Lady of Fatima, on whose feast the shooting took place.
Although he resumed his activities after a difficult recovery, his health and strength declined over the years, a hard experience for a man accustomed to vigorous physical activity.
In July 1992, he had colon surgery to remove a noncancerous tumor; in November 1993, his shoulder was dislocated in a fall; he suffered a broken femur in another fall in April 1994; in October 1996, he had an appendectomy; in January and February 2005, it was back to the hospital to be treated for flu and breathing problems.
And from the mid-1990s on he was more and more immobilized and had increasing trouble speaking because of a neurological condition widely assumed to be Parkinson's disease.
But the increasingly frail Pope soldiered on, making journeys, giving audiences, presiding at liturgical ceremonies and delivering talks as best he could.
It was a display of indomitable will prefigured in 1979's Redemptor Hominis.
Recalling his election as Pope, he wrote:
"It was to Christ the Redeemer that my feelings and my thoughts were directed on Oct. 16 of last year, when . . . I was asked: 'Do you accept?'I then replied: 'With obedience in faith to Christ,my Lord,and with trust in the Mother of Christ and the Church, I accept.'"
"It was to Christ the Redeemer that my feelings and my thoughts were directed on Oct. 16 of last year, when . . . I was asked: 'Do you accept?'I then replied: 'With obedience in faith to Christ,my Lord,and with trust in the Mother of Christ and the Church, I accept.'"
Pope John Paul II went on accepting for another 25 years.

Spider Web Redo
This week I took apart the spider webs from last post and refigured them. Thanks to Wanda's idea, there's an easier way! Two sets of strips make two webs, and I get the propellor centers like on the original inspiration quilt. I'm excited to keep going on this!
Here are the old web triangles--almost enough for a baby quilt!

Aluminum Zombie Shelter Sign
Safely you can hide away (and live to fight another day).
- A big sign to make sure everyone knows where to hide when the zombies come.
- Made out of aluminum - nice and sturdy,
- Zombies . . . please seek shelter somewhere else. Thank you.
When zombies are walking around, they tend to get a little disoriented - especially as their brains begin to rot and fall out in clumps and streams. So, it stands to reason, they need a little help knowing where a safe place to collapse for the night is. And we love nothing more than to help, by placing an Aluminum Zombie Shelter Sign where zombies should congregate.
Because, you see, if we trap a bunch of zombies in one room, it makes them oh so much easier to exterminate. That's called strategy! Ok, so maybe an Aluminum Zombie Shelter Sign is best for indicating a safe room for humans to hide. Whatever. You put one of these Aluminum Zombie Shelter Signs up in your office's kitchen or break area, and the nervous laughter that will ensue will warm your heart. Unlike a zombie; the only thing warming their hearts is our flamethrowers!
Aluminum Zombie Shelter Sign
- Let's you know where a good place to hide from the zombies is . . . or . . .
- Let's zombies know where a good place to hide from you is.
- Embossed aluminum sign is great to decorate your office, bedroom, etc. For indoor use only.
- Dimension: approx. 20" x 12"
