Potent, moving account of the influence one layman had in bringing the sex abuse problem in the Church to light. Be sure to read the father's letter in its heart-rending entirety.
Well...I think it must have been somebody else. It sounds like a different style than my mother's. Also, my mother read the piece and thanked me for "making up all those nice virtues" for her. It is true that my father would make pizza every Sunday night, so she didn't actually make a home-cooked meal every single day for fifty years, but the pizza had starch, vegetables and meat on it, so I figure that falls under poetic license.
She did respect us all as persons in a way I gradually realized was very unusual. I had friends whose parents let them express their freedom any way they wanted, because (in some ways) that was simpler for the grownups. I had other friends whose parents believed in objective right and wrong but micromanaged their lives and tastes down to the last detail. I'm sure my mother would disagree, but I think she managed a good balancing act.

What a beautiful tribute!
I read an article many years ago by your mother, I think. (I mean I think it was by her.) It has stayed with me. She described sitting at a restaurant table with two worldly-minded women (was it her mother and sister?), and feeling a little frumpy and awkward and out of place. The other women were admiring each other's jewelry. The author blurted out, "I too have many precious gems. My children."

even if we have greater or lesser degrees of "space" that we've created for God through love on Earth. There will be no sense of incompleteness, no lack, no frustration; there will only be complete union. God will be giving Himself completely to everyone of us (as I've also explained in my interpretation of the late-hour workers) - there will be no difference in this way. I agree with your (and St Therese's) understanding of sanctity, of completely depending on God, on complete trust; hence Our Lady is our model, she is full of grace - no sin is there to prevent God's grace from fully inhabiting her. We don't tend to have this complete dependence; some of us - like St Therese manage to have it to an extraordinary degree - and there are probably a lot more than we know, and yes sanctity is accessible to everyone of us. But that there are differences in how much we let God inhabit us and that this will be reflected in Heaven seems to make a lot of sense and is in line with the tradition of the Church. I hope this sheds some light on this discussion.

I completely agree with many of the points you make, Patrick, which are very good. But I think you are working with the wrong notion of hierarchy, or rather are assuming that this notion of hierarchy is underyling what I'm trying to get at. I'd say that there is no contradiction between the hierarchy in Heaven I'm trying to capture here and St. Therese's little way, her understanding of sanctity etc. Perhaps you have in mind some of the paintings we know so well with the different layers of saints, closer or further away from God, and thus are using as a metaphor a ladder, or something of the kind. A metaphor only works in some respects and in others it is wrong. To think that we will be kept at a distance by God or that we achieve sanctity by climbing up the mountain would indeed be wrong. Perhaps the metaphor of pots works better (if I remember correctly, it was also used by St Therese): pots of different sizes are still completely full even if the quantity of water in them is of a different amount. Similarly our union with God will be complete;

The hierarchy notion, I believe, is all too human and more evident of our own way of thinking and seeing than God's. If we do appeal to it, it should be modified, as expressed above, to take into account what new insights Therese taught us.
May. 11 at 7:16am | See in context
While some saints may be capable of that ascent ("big souls"), Therese believed that God would 'compensate' for her (and other "little souls'") 'lack of ascent', if you will, if only they keep striving (Therese compared herself to a little bird flapping its wings trying to fly while eagles - great saints - soared above her) and, if only - and this is what is most important - they put all of their trust in God and allow Him to lift them up.
Therese loved the good thief's story. She also thought Mary was more mother than queen, and what mother would lord her 'goods' over children she loves so dearly (all of us)? The hiearchy notion, where everything is measured according to our own 'record' of virtue gets capsized in a sense, as in the Gospels, no? God's 'favorites' are the little ones there, the lowly. The standard by which He measures us is our confidence and trust in Him. That is what allows for our ascent because, paradoxically, we could never ascent on our own - everything is grace - and so the secret is to allow God to lift us up entirely.

Thank you for replying, Samwise and Marie.
When you talk about growing in holiness, or a hierarchy of practicing virtue / reaching different heights of holiness, what is the standard by which we can 'measure' - so as then to know how we're doing?
See, this is where I think St. Therese is profound. Living among 'super nuns' set on doing great works almost in a spiritual / ascetical Olympics type of context, not to mention a long line of saints who seemed to view holiness similarly, Therese believed in a new way.
Rather than climbing the mountain of virtue - though of course she strove to be virtuous - Therese realized she would always be frustrated by her own weakness. If there was a hierarchy and the standard was justice, she would never end up where she desired to be. So, her new way is trust unto folly in God's goodness and mercy. God would never want to hold us at some distance because of our not having climbed the mountain to the full.

Now concerning one's worries about not having done enough or being somehow disappointed in Heaven that one didn't rise to the heights of holiness one could have reached, I'd say the following: I think you are right that the abandonment which St. Therese of Lisieux practices it the way to go; only that can make one enter into that dialogue of Love which God is desiring, into a complete dependence on His will. Disappointment in Heaven is out of the question, of course, since otherwise it could not be Heaven (to state the obvious). Literature can sometimes give us a good sense of this; I'm thinking of C. S. Lewis' "Great Divorce" where people's former faults are no longer a source of regret, and the other's pre-eminence is actually a further cause for joy; his or her beauty and holiness is something we can rejoice in, since we are no longer concerned in the wrong way about ourselves or worried that we are less loveable or not loveable at all (which is often at the source of envy).

Story of the Year: Lady Wildcats power past Pearce, bound for regionals semis
BY Matt Welch, email@example.com
GARLAND -- Call the Region II quarterfinals a microcosm of the Plano Senior volleyball team's playoff run this season.
Embarking upon a new stage and a challenge, incurring an early, nerve-riddled hiccup and settling in to regain control. Tuesday's tilt against Richardson Pearce followed that blueprint point for point, with Plano persevering in four sets (25-21, 24-26, 25-19, 25-10) from the Curtis Culwell Center.
"It's the story of the year for this team," said Teri Minnis, Plano head coach. "Once we settle down, we can be pretty good. It's kind of frustrating because I know how good we can be but we just get in our way a little bit."
The Lady Wildcats answered with a 6-0 run for a 19-14 lead, keyed by serving from junior Natalie Fazio who compiled two aces during the rally, plus two kills and a block by senior Madison Morell.
"I've been working with Natalie on her toss," Minnis said, "and getting her comfortable serving it hard every time. It showed tonight and she got it going."
The Lady Wildcats rounded out the set with two more blocks, courtesy of juniors Kylie Long and Aubrey Davis before Long connected on her seventh kill of the frame to put Plano back in front, 2-1.
Long led the Lady Wildcats with 21 kills on the night, recording nearly one-third of her successful attacks in the fourth set. Out-killing Pearce by herself, 6-5, Long helped Plano establish an 11-6 lead before five consecutive Lady Mustang errors and two more Long kills equated an 18-8 advantage.
"I'm not even sure what the calls were," Minnis said. "We talked about going to that side and putting the pressure on them, not letting up and not giving them a chance to breathe."
Senior Audrey Landry and Davis added aces, with Morell closing out the match with her 11th kill of the evening.
"We talked after Game 2 that we can't have any regrets," Minnis said. "You can't play with regrets and you've got to leave everything out there and that's exactly what the kids did in sets three and four."
Plano's rebound effort came after tallying 17 kills in the second set to just 10 from Pearce. The Lady Mustangs were able to weather the Lady Wildcats offensive by virtue of 10 Plano errors to just four Pearce miscues.
Blocks weren't in abundance for Pearce during the match, but two rejections by Mimi Richards nudged the Lady Mustangs in front, 22-21. The teams traded points until 24-24, with a Plano attack error and an ace by Brianne Burkert dealing Pearce the set.
"[Pearce] fights, comes hard and doesn't let much hit the floor," Minnis said. "That's what they did to us and it took us a while to adjust to their two lefties on the left side but once we settled down and figured out our blocking adjustments, we took care of it."
Burkert led the Lady Mustangs with 12 kills, followed by Kendall Goss with 11.
The tandem combined for nine of Pearce's 14 kills in the first set, while the Lady Wildcats mustered just 11. The rest of the Plano points were largely provided up front, with the Lady Wildcats totaling six blocks in the opening set.
Fazio, Davis, Morell, Seal, Landry and Long all got in on the block party, pacing the Lady Wildcats to their seventh straight postseason set win and lay the groundwork for a berth in the Region I semifinals.
Now bound for the fourth round of the postseason, Plano meets Humble Kingwood Friday at 8 p.m. from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.

Frank Klopas
Head Coach
In his first full season as head coach, Frank Klopas led the Men in Red to a 17-11-6 regular season record and fourth place in the Eastern Conference in 2012. The 57 points the team earned is tied with the 2000 season for the highest point total in club history. The 17-win season was the club's best finish since 2000.
Having served as the club's Technical Director since January 2008, Klopas was appointed interim head coach on May 30, 2011 and led the Fire to a MLS-record sixth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final, en route to an impressive 7-2-1 league finish, the second best end of season record in the club's 14-year history.
Klopas was officially named the Fire's head coach in November 2011 and transformed the squad into a team that qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the 12th time in the club's 15-year history.
A Chicago soccer icon, Klopas emigrated with his family from Prosimna, Greece to the Windy City at eight-years-old and would go on to lead Mather High School to the Chicago Public School league championship in 1982. Soon after, "Kid Klopas" signed with the Chicago Sting straight out of high school and would go on to appear in 140 games, tallying 62 goals in Major Indoor Soccer League play from 1983-1988.
Having earned his first cap with the U.S. Men's National Team in 1987, Klopas represented the United States at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea before returning to his birth country to play for AEK Athens that fall. Klopas would go on to tally 46 appearances and six goals from 1988-92, as the club garnered two Greek Super League titles (1989, 1992) and the Greek League Cup in 1990.
In 1992, Klopas signed with the United States Soccer Federation, electing to play full-time with the U.S. Men's National Team as the country prepared to host the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Klopas would eventually be named to the U.S. roster for the tournament but did not see any playing time as the United States advanced to the knockout round for the first time since 1930.
Following the tournament, Klopas returned to Greece to sign with Apollon Athens, playing 10 matches for the club from 1994-96. He would also play for the U.S. Men's National Team in the 1995 Copa America in Uruguay, scoring in the side's famous 3-0 upset of Argentina en route to a fourth place finish in the tournament. Having signed with Major League Soccer ahead of the league's launch, Klopas was allocated to the Kansas City Wiz in 1996, appearing in 54 matches and scoring seven goals over two seasons with the club.
With the announcement of Chicago as an MLS expansion city to begin the 1998 season, Klopas would return to his hometown via trade to close out his playing career in the Windy City. The hometown hero would go on to lead the expansion Chicago Fire to the "American Double" helping the club to the 1998 MLS Cup in a 2-0 win over D.C. United before scoring the "Golden Goal" days later in a 2-1 extra time victory over the Columbus Crew in that year's U.S. Open Cup final. Playing one more year with the Fire, Klopas announced his retirement following the 1999 season, having tallied 50 appearances and eight goals for the club across all competitions.
The striker would join Bob Bradley's coaching staff the following year, working as the club's Strength and Conditioning Coach during the 2000 season. Klopas spent two seasons as head coach of the MISL's Chicago Storm from 2004-06 before eventually returning to the Fire as the club's Technical Director in January 2008.

Rating: PG-13 for drug content and sequences of violence.
What it's about: A teen lets a pal talk him into accepting a drug shipment, and the kid's dad has to go undercover to get his son's federal prison sentence reduced.
The kid attractor factor: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, fighting drug dealers, driving tractor trailers.
Good lessons/ bad lessons: Minimum mandatory sentencing means you make a single drug-related mistake, your life is ruined.
Violence: A few shootouts with bloody consequences.
Language: Profanity, but not as much as you might think.
Sex: None.
Drugs: Sold, shipped, and cocaine is sniffed.
Parents' advisory: A reasonably realistic portrayal of what happens when civilians get mixed up in the drug trade, suitable for 13 and older.
Rating: PG for action and some mild rude humor.
What it's about: Aliens who "come in peace" find themselves abducted, held captive in Area 51 and in need of rescue.
The kid attractor factor: Aliens and spaceships.

Violence: Some, mostly of the cartoon slapstick variety.
Language: Squeaky clean.
Sex: Not a hint.
Drugs: Tranquilizer darts.
Parents' advisory: A mash-up of "Planet 51" and "Monsters vs. Aliens," inoffensive to all ages.

Adding Custom CSS
First, activate the Custom CSS module on the Jetpack dashboard, and then you can access the CSS editor via Appearance → Edit CSS.
If this is your first visit to the CSS Editor (or you have not yet added any custom CSS code), you will see a placeholder message in the editing window (enclosed in /* and */) . Please review the message, as it contains some important information about the upgrade. The message begins with…
/* Welcome to Custom CSS!
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a kind of code that tells the browser how to render a web page. You may delete these comments and get started with your customizations.
When you're ready to begin adding your custom CSS code, simply remove the message to get started or add your CSS after it.
Editing Options
You have a few options when editing your stylesheet, and these can be found directly under the editing window:
- Add my CSS to [your current theme] CSS stylesheet - should be used to build on the existing theme stylesheet. You need to learn how to override the styles in the existing stylesheet to make any changes. Click on the view original stylesheet link to view all CSS code for your current theme.
- Don't use [your current theme] CSS, and replace everything with my own CSS. – should be used if you want to start with only the theme's HTML structure and recreate all of its CSS from scratch. Refer to the theme's original stylesheet for reference, and make sure you have all rules/styles accounted for. If you are missing certain elements, the public view of the blog may appear skewed. Only the CSS code in the editing window will be applied to your blog with this option.
Previewing and Saving
When editing your CSS, it is a very good idea to always preview your changes before actually applying them – regardless of your skill level. After making some changes to your CSS, you can click the Preview button.
A new browser window/tab will open allowing you to view your blog as if the custom CSS code were applied. You will see a message at the top of your blog, directly underneath your gray admin bar:
If you like what you see and wish to save the changes, go back to your open CSS Editor window and click the Save Stylesheet button.
CSS Revisions
The CSS Revisions module shows any backup copies of your custom CSS. Each time you click Save Stylesheet a revision is saved. Jetpack will store the last 25 revisions for each post on your blog. The CSS revisions allow you to look back at the recent changes and revert to an earlier version if you need to.
To compare CSS Revisions, select a revision date in the CSS Revisions section under the Editor. Select another date in the revisions list, click Compare Revisions, and you can check out the two versions of your CSS side by side, with changes clearly highlighted.
To restore a previous version of your custom CSS, click Restore for that date and the custom CSS is reverted back.

Alex J. I'm Not going to lie to you guys but, these shoes look nothing like they do online but that still doesn't mean they're bad shoes. The leather looking feature is nothing but run down rubber.
Heidi Kaczala I bought these for my son. He loves them I will return for more. Great price and product.
Daniel Freitas Realy good shoes , you should buy !
Daniel Bell These shoes are incredibly comfortable and durable. Great purchase!
Ricardo Garcia It's a really awesome shoe, I BMX and this has amazing grip, but doesn't really last long, other than that a really comfortable shoe. I would recommend it.
lillcarl perfect skate shoe, looks good skates good :)
scartzzz This was my first time to order something online. The reason why I had never done it before was because I was too afraid that things won't turn out well (size, color, shape, etc.). So, my package came in today and I would have never guessed that things would turn out so well!
First of all, I was afraid that the shoes (Bledsoe Low) weren't 'high' enough (I like my shoes a bit higher than the average shoes, who are totally flat). So when my package came in, I was totally surprised. The shoes are perfect in every kind of way. Even the delivery only took 1 single day, ok I know it depends on where you live, but the estimated arrival was set on 2 days.Keep it up, Etnies!
Russell First off i must say these shoes are much better made than the original mid tops most because they toughned up the way too soft rubber on the sole of the mid top.
Their is no extra toe buffer on these but it isnt needed because the sole is double wrapped and it makes the shoe skate much better and much more consistanly over time.
The toe cap is great for flip tricks and is really quiet plain just like the rest of the shoe except for the pull tie system that you cant see anyway but is an amazing idea that makes it possible for one to make the shoe fit absolutely perfect on your feet for the most comfortable skate sesh you can get.
Over its just a really well made skate shoe that i would highly recommend.

Serious Game Engine Recommendation
Posted 08 February 2007 - 01:35 AM
Firstly I am an artist, and I have 2 programmers on the team. We are creating a niche FPS, nothing too fancy but we would like an engine that would suit our needs. While we are willing to work hard on an engine, it is a must that the tools are in place so the artists can really get some progress.
I would like to point out that both the programmers have used Torque, and Ogre and wish to steer clear of them for our new venture. We have another 3 coming into the team in about a month when they finish up some deadlines at work.
As an Artist I am looking for something with reliable exporters and working tool sets (Particle Editor, Terrain Editor / Level Editor, Model Viewer, Shader Editor etc). Something that we can jump in on and get working immediately.
So what are the key features of the game?
1. Large Open Terrain (Seamless if possible, but we can programme that if we have the source.). Important to be able to place buildings on the terrain (I would assume a good scenemanager)
2. Shader Model 3 support, with strong shader support
3. Physics (Preferably Physx, but we can add that)
4. Clean Code Base with good design (Hence why we want to avoid Torque)
5. Good Toolset, where artists can just get up and running, the programmers can handle most code changes if the code base is good.
We have around $5000 to spend, but can push it to $20,000 if we all dig deep.
Your recommendations please. (Yes I have looked through the database, but there is a difference between feature lists and what an engine can actually do.)
Posted 08 February 2007 - 10:31 AM
Specifically it probably has the best art pipeline in the business, so artists and designers can be extremely productive and actually integrate their work into the gameplay during the entire production. Unity includes PhysX and has great (and editable) shaders. Source code is not included, but you'll find that you don't need it, because you get a fast scripting engine (based on .NET), the ability to plug in your own DLLs, the ability to extend the editor.
A graphical shader builder and a terrain engine are coming up in the next major release.
It will cost you US$4500 for three Unity Pro licenses, and you might have to add a couple of thousands since the development tool runs on the Mac.
Feel free to drop me a mail me if you have further questions.
(full disclosure: I'm one of the founders of the company that makes Unity)

Yes, the development tool is Mac only (though of course it can produce Windows games, and has a cross-platform browser plugin to suit). These days Macs are PCs too (being Intel based, you can run Mac OS X and Windows at the same time), so it need not be a big additional investment.
The license is per-seat (unlike most game engines, but similar to most other software), but the price mentioned above is for 3 licenses of Unity Pro. There is also a lower priced license available... just check our website for details.
Anyway, the simplest thing to do is to dive into the extensive tutorials, video tutorials, documentation and references, and of course download the demo. You just might be impressed.

Well, I don't consider Torque the best engine, but it is a good option for serious games. It is not a good option for larger projects (AAA), but for serious games.

I know little on Unity. But for the that you explained, it can be a good option also.

Both companies are starting up new game productions, also based on Unity.
Posted 15 February 2007 - 01:39 AM
Anyone have any other engines?

They make it seem easy to me and I've researched both. This is not to say that I use them, please make no mistake about that.
Another option you have is to take a graphics engine, a physics engine and create the ground level of your own gaming engine since it does appear you have a good size team to do so. This can help work out the limitations of the engines recommended and your programmers would know the code better than if they picked up another engine. This is just my two cents and nothing more. :)
Let us all know how the project comes along, maybe send a screenshot from time to time for us to drool over.
Posted 19 February 2007 - 01:26 AM
With regards to how much I/The Team can spend :
Well between $5000 - $20,000
Obviously depends on the engine, as I would not be willing to spend money for the sake of a "Name"

Everything is worth a look

Just was curious, why do you think Panda3D is not for you? I went to their site and looked at their features etc. I am not associated with any engine out there but am an artist/ shader programmer myself and looking to begin a project (for a Maters program however) similar to yours.
Panda looked good to me but I really would like to know why you initially dont seem to like it?
As for Unity my buddy is going to use that for a game, but TOO BAD it is for Mac...sounds really good
You might have a look at NeoEngine, I was more impressed with the support and how accomodating they are. In fact their enthusiasm to help me was really refreshing and they do sport an impressive array of features associated with shaders.

I looked at the features and the price and found that the two I recommended almost fit most of the needs. Unfortunately, as we all know, not every engine will give us what we want but thank god we can create the rest if we're a skilled programmer or a group of programmers. Unity is very promising as is Panda3d. Panda3d does appear to lack the editing of models, particle and other such aspects as Unity would but when you take into account that it's an engine that was used to create an exisitng MMO, that does kind of give it a proven track record. I can not say the same for some other engines.
Again, this is entirely just my opinion and from the research that I've done. Myself, well, I've chosen Ogre3D as my graphics engine but it's not a game engine by any means. I just gives me a good starting point and I can build off of it for the rest of the needs.
Being as he does have the money to invest in a venture of this size, it's very possible that he can get a higher level gaming engine that might fit every need but we all know that every engine lacks in one aspect or another.
Posted 21 February 2007 - 05:17 PM
Panda3D doesn't support this, or if it has terrain support, it's very new and limited (as far as I can remember)

Loucinda McGary Interview on The Wild Sight and Giveaway
After her mother's death, Rylie finds tantalizing clues that send her off to Ireland to find the man listed on her birth certificate as her father. She needs the truth—but how can she and Donovan be brother and sister when the chemistry between them is nearly irresistible?
Uncovering the past leads them dangerously close to madness . . .
Donovan's visions lead them into mystery and murder, and only by going deep into the fens can they defeat an ancient enemy and bring the truth to light . . . but will they ever be able to get out?
Terra: How did you come up with a story that could easily fit into the life of any Irish person today?
Loucinda: Hmmm, I can't say that I consciously tried to do that. I usually come up with my characters first and maybe the germ of a story idea, and the story just evolves from there. So if The Wild Sight fits into the life of a contemporary Irish person, that because my hero, Donovan is a contemporary Irish person.
Terra: Did you portray your characters from real people of are they totally fictitious?
Loucinda: I don't totally base my characters on real people, however, sometimes traits or even names of real people find their way into my characters. For example, I purposely named a minor character after my son, who happens to have an Irish first name. That minor character is married (my son is single) and has two young daughters who are named for two of my real life nieces. My son thought it was "cool" and I haven't told my nieces yet, but I think they will both get a big laugh out of it.
Oh, and if you want to know where I got some of the traits for Donovan's bossy older sister, ask my three younger siblings.
Terra: In reading Wild Sight I noticed that you inserted the Irish equivalent for American words to give us a better feel for the culture. Was it hard to research these words and get the proper Lingo and accent?
Loucinda: I made a real effort to make my Irish characters "sound" Irish, so I'm very complimented if you think I succeeded. The Irish have a very distinct diction and syntax, not to mention those interesting colloquialisms.
I tried to recall as much as I could from my trips to Ireland and I also listened to native Irish speakers whenever I could. Yes, it was quite a hardship to watch Colin Farrell, Pierce Brosnan, and Johnny Rhys-Meyers on those late night talk shows. LOL! Movies like "Waking Ned Devine" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" helped too, but thank goodness for the Internet! There are all kinds of sites related to Irish mythology and culture, blogs written by Irish men and women, and there was even a great site I ran across of modern Irish slang. So I will say that while it wasn't difficult to research, it was time-consuming, and a bit addictive.
Terra: I can understand the historical significance behind your plot but was the Irish male really so stereotypical?
Loucinda: I do think that many ethnic stereotypes had a basis in reality. Or maybe perceived reality, like 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts,' or 'Latin lovers.' I have observed stereotypical behavior in the course of my travels. The Scots really are thrifty, and Italians can not talk without hand gestures.
The Irish truly are a loquacious and charming people, especially the men. A man with a brogue can talk me into just about anything. What more can I say?
Terra: I have to say I love the multi layered paranormal history. Was it hard to try and put these layers into perspective or did they easily fall into place?
Loucinda: Much as I would like to say they fell easily into place, I've always been a terrible liar. J Sometimes they did, other times they did not. Or as my Irish characters would say, I had the devil's own time with it!
I wanted the supernatural beings to seem as real for my readers as they did for my hero, Donovan. But at the same time, they needed to have powers that were not human, and this other worldly realm could be dangerous. It was a fine line sometimes between being far enough removed from reality and being too far out there.
Terra: What part of the book was the hardest to write about and why?
Loucinda: Beginnings are always hard for me and this one was no exception. I wanted to start with some explosive action, but at the same time, I needed to convey a lot about the setting and the back story of the hero. And since this is first and foremost a romance, I needed to get the heroine in there right away and have her in conflict with the hero. So the beginning was tricky.
Then again, the middle is always hard because you can't allow the pace to lag. I had to keep building the suspense and ramping up the sexual tension, but not too fast. I couldn't reveal too much too soon. So yeah, the middle was difficult.
But the ending… YIKES! There was so much to resolve and very little time to do it. That was really hard…
Do you get the idea that books are hard to write? But they are great fun too! Especially once you type "The End!"
Terra: Your descriptions of the local areas and peoples really draw you into the scene nicely. How did you come upon such accurate information?
Loucinda: As I mentioned, I've visited Ireland. My DH has relatives in Northern Ireland. I probably do too, but I don't know exactly where. We were lucky enough to see the cottage where his grandmother was born and lived (with her nine siblings!) until she immigrated to America at the age of 16. The house and the land it sits upon are still owned by his family (since at least the 1770s) and provided the basis for the O'Shea cottage in the book. That's right, two rooms and a loft with ten children. ACK!
I've also been to the Giant's Causeway and quite a few of the other locales mentioned in the book. For those I did not see, like the fens of Lough Neagh, I did do quite a bit of research both online and at the library.
Terra: Your play on Irish Lore and superstitions is quite nice. Do you yourself believe in any of them?
Loucinda: I believe Shakespeare had the right of it (even if he was a bloody Englishman!): There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Terra: Do you have any plans to do a story about any other characters in this book?
Loucinda: Not at the moment, however, I haven't ruled it out. If my readers are enthusiastic enough about a certain character, or another book with Rylie and Donovan as the main characters, and they let me (or my publisher) know, I always have plenty of ideas.
Terra: You know I saved the best question for last. We all know the Blarney stone is high up on a castle wall, do you think you would ever hang upside down over the wall just to kiss the Blarney Stone as custom insists?
Loucinda: Confession time. I have been to Blarney Castle and climbed up to where you lean over backward to kiss the stone. The castle is actually in ruins and the spot is about four or five stories up in the open air. When I was there, you sat on a stone retaining wall with an ancient metal rail, and a little old man, who probably weighed 120 lbs. soaking wet, held onto you to keep you from falling. I asked him how many tourists he'd dropped that season and he laughed. I looked at the wall you kiss, which is a good three to four feet away from the wall you sit on, and the wet rocky ground way, way below and I chickened out! As my best friend says, I'm plenty eloquent enough without kissing the Blarney stone!
For those of you who comment on this interview, Aunt Cindy will pick one winner at the end of the day to receive an Autographed copy of "The Wild Sight".

Hi Loucinda,
The Wild Sight looks like a really good book! Sounds like it has some paranormal/fantasy in it.
I think I would chicken out too and not kiss the Blarney Stone! - September 25, 2008 at 7:49 AM

Hi Aunty Cindy,
I usually see you at Romance Bandits.
Glad you could join us here. Enyoyed your interview. I like how your books souns. :) - September 25, 2008 at 8:40 AM

Hi Aunty Cindy,
congrats on the release (soon)! Everyone is talking about your great book, it has been on my wishlist for ages and I'll love to read it!! I hope there will be many more books.... - September 25, 2008 at 8:43 AM

Good morning Loucinda,
Beginnings were always the hardest for me for papers in college, too. I am by no means a writer but I am a reader. I love Ireland & all the history. Sounds like its right up my alley.
Thank you,
Susan B.

Hi AC - Kissing the blarney stone could not have imbued you with greater talent! Can't wait till I can grab The Wild Sight off the shelves.

This sounds like such a good book, Aunt Cindy. I might have kissed that barley stone, but it would have definitely had to take me on a date afterwards. LOL

- Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindy said...
Morning all! Yes, it is still morning here on the West Coast. In fact it is EARLY for your olde Aunty, but I wanted to get over here before you all had too much fun without me!
First HUGE THANX to Terra for inviting me and asking such GREAT questions! Only 5 more days until The Wild Sight hits the shelves!!!! ACK!!! I can hardly believe it! Hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
AC - September 25, 2008 at 12:04 PM
- Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindy said...
Amy C. thanks for being my first commenter today. Judging by the time, you must be on the East Coast, DownUnder, or are a real night person!
Yes, I've always loved fantasy novels, since I first read Lord of the Rings as a young teen. So it was natural that I wanted to put some paranormal/fantasy elements in The Wild Sight. I hope you enjoy it! Please do email me via my website and let me know.
Terra found a GREAT piccie of Blarney Castle, looking up, up, up at the place you sit to kiss the stone. Heights don't usually bother me IF I'm safely inside or behind a barrier of some kind. But leaning over backwards in the open air was NOT my thing!
AC - September 25, 2008 at 12:10 PM

Dina and Eva,
GREAT to see you here! We do enjoy your company in the Lair too.
Thank you both for your good wishes! It was a fun interview to do, and I do hope you enjoy reading The Wild Sight.
From your lips to editors' ears, Eva, on the many books to come! :-) And I really hope people are talking about TWS. Buzz is GOOD! That's why you will be seeing me all over cyberspace in the next few weeks. I'm thrilled I got to start my virtual tour here!

Susan B, What a KEWL avatar you have!
Are you Irish too? Loving the auld sod truly is in the blood, I think. I always dreamed of going there, and it was even more wonderful that I imagined! I hope you get the chance to visit someday, and I hope you enjoy The Wild Sight!

Hi Aunty Cindy!
I have pre-ordered TWS from Barnes & Noble, and I've already been in once to pound the table with a "WHERE IS MY BOOK" frown on my face. I'm getting aggravated that it's not here yet grrrrr.
I dunno if I'd kiss the Blarney Stone or not. I can't quite picture it. I'm not scared of heights but BACKWARDS? I do have a thing about leaning backwards. Never could do the backwards diving in swimming class in college. Wasn't any good at back flips in gymnastics... Hmmmm. Beyond that, I'm not sure I need to be any more full of it than I already am, if ya know what I mean. ;0) And besides, who knows where that rock has been? - September 25, 2008 at 12:23 PM
- Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindy said...
Hi Donna! (waving madly at my Bandita) Thanx for popping out of the Lair to visit me here.
Everyone, when you do see The Wild Sight on shelves, or get it in your hot lil hands, please send me a piccie! I'd love to see all the places my book goes.
AC - September 25, 2008 at 12:27 PM
- Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindy said...
Ruby, ROFLOL about the Blarney Stone taking you on a date afterward! I'm sure the stone doesn't kiss and tell, but if it did, IMAGINE the stories! HA!
- September 25, 2008 at 12:29 PM
- Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindy said...
Another Bandita swinging by! So glad you made it over and THANX A BUNCH for pre-ordering The Wild Sight. I was in my local Borders yesterday and they didn't have it yet either. (sighs heavily)
Yup, BACKWARDS was exactly what stopped me too! If I could have just leaned out and kissed the stone, no worries. But backwards??? Not happening! Knowing our (usually) fearless Bandita Cassondra would have also taken a pass makes me feel a lot better. :-) And you are sooo right, that part of the stone looked pretty slimey and gnarly from all those smooches over all those many years! Jo-Mama would have been reaching for her sanitizer. :-P

Morning Everyone and Welcome Aunt Cindy! Glad to see your up and about on this fine morning even though it's past noon here in Massachusetts.
I've already been out shopping and had coffee and a pumpkin muffin at Dunkin Donuts. Weather is just wonderful today and I noticed that the leaves are really starting to turn. Think I will take a ride later to see some of the pretty colors.

Wow, Terra and Cindy, great interview. I love your questions, Terra, so different from the usual ones.
I'm popping over from the Romance Bandits to support Cindy and her great book THE WILD SIGHT. As one who's been with the book from the start, I can say her readers are in for one great ride . . . uh, and read, too!
Terra, no fair mentioned pumpkin muffins without cyber-sharing! - September 25, 2008 at 1:10 PM

Hi Terra, and THANX a BUNCH for interviewing me and giving The Wild Sight such a wonderful review!

Hey Jo-Mama!
Thanx for swinging by from the Bandit Lair and a BIGGER THANX for being my faithful CP!
Honestly, everyone, The Wild Sight would NOT be the book it is today without Jo's insightful and always helpful input. And shhhhh! Don't tell her hubby Dr. Big, but I think she has a crush on Donovan O'Shea.

Thanx a bunch for stopping by and for the good wishes. I really appreciate you and all the other Sac Valley Rose members support. You'll be getting that magic call any day now, I'm sure!
As to how many times the Blarney Stone has been kissed? YIKES! Probably over a million! I wonder if they keep statistics? Oops! My previous life as an analyst coming out for a moment.

The Giant's Causeway (which appears in The Wild Sight) is another fascinating place to visit in Ireland. I hope I did a good job or showing it to my readers. It was quite fantastic to see.

I hope you make it to Ireland for a visit someday. It truly is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and remember your olde Aunty has been in 47 states and 26 foreign countries so she's not just blowing smoke! :-P And the Irish really are some of the friendliest and most charming people you'll ever meet... even the ones NOT related to me!

Wow, ya'll are going gangbusters over here. Thanks for the kind words, Cindy, but TWS is a book that stands on its own merit.

I'm with you on the heights out in the open like Blarney Castle. Inside a building is a different story, however, I will say that I could NOT step on the see-thru glass portion of the floor in the CN Tower in Toronto! ACK!!! Those cars down on the street below looked like matchbox toys!

Hi again,
I think the avi is cool too. Hubby made it for me last night after I complained I had an empty spot & others had such cool pics in theirs. I just said I wanted something with a wolf in it & that's what he came up with.
Yes I'm part Irish my paternal Grandmother came over from Ireland!!!
Thank you,

Hi Cindy! Great interview! I do believe I'm going to have to pick this book up:-) Sounds fascinating. LOL on your Shakespeare quote...I love that line, and one of my characters actually quotes it in my first book. It should probably be the official motto of all paranormal writers!

Hi Lucile/Book Spot!
A lot of people seem to like the Irish setting. But I've never seen another contemporary romance set in Northern Ireland, so I hope you like that aspect.

Right back atcha Susan B.
Your hubby is very talented.
My DH's maternal grandmother is the one who came over from Ireland in 1912. She was a young teen and she never saw her homeland again. :-(
Hey Kendra! (waving at my Casa Sister) What a great idea to have the quote from Hamlet be the paranormal writers' motto! I've used it a couple of times in my previous (unpubbed) writing. I also had an Irish character call Shakespeare a "bloody Englishman!" Hence my reference. ;-)

should have bought a size larger
When deciding what size to purchase I went by the size chart which was helpful in determining the right fit for top to bottom but not for side to side. These are a good basic fit espeically top to bottom but very narrow for side to side. They pinch the center of my foot and the snaps or buttons that connect the center strap rub on the arch of my foot and cause blisters. I may buy another pair in the next size up because I really like these and crocs are great for my work as a textile printing studio tech.

My favorite shoe style and my favorite Crocs
I have fallen arches and get foot pain in most shoes from other brand names, even the very expensive ones with special insoles. Crocs brand in general are the only shoes I can war, and this is my favorite model. For the price, they are durable enough. I wore a hole in the sole of my last pair after wearing them daily for about 6 months.
The style is dressy enough to look decent with a pair of trousers for moderately dressy occasions.

The most comfortable shoe I have
So I have Plantar Fascitis in my right foot. That turned into a heal spur and I stand on my feet for a living, so it made things hard and painful. Crocs are affordable and very comfortable. A month ago a ligament tore in my foot and my old clogs I have been wearing for years are no longer comfortable and actually hrut my foot. I bought these in white for summer and they are the only shoes I can wear now and not have any pain in my foot at all. I get up in the morning and put them on and they don't come off unless I'm going to work where I have to wear black or I'm showering or something. My only complaint with Crocs is, I don't understand why the soal of the shoe can't be the same with each shoe. They are slightly narrow, but I have wide feet. It hasn't kept me from wearing them, and I get compliments on them being cute crocs, where most of my friends would never wear crocs.

Love these
I've wore the MaryJane style for the past 5 years or so and was so disappointed when they were discontinued. I tried other styles, but wasn't happy until I ordered these and I think i like them even more, they are a more fitted style than the original Mary Jane style, they are not as clunky or sloppy feeling after wearing them for a month, they aren't stretching out as quickly as others. If you was a more streamline fit these are it, if you want loose go up a size. I just ordered 2 more pairs of these and love the white for summer and pink all year long.
