This year, more than any other in the three-year history of these awards, voters ran the gamut of choices. Many were nominated who are already in the Hall of Honor and therefore their votes could not be counted. Many who were nominated do not meet the 20-year-in-service-to-Tradition requirement and so could not be admitted as nominees. Thus, when all votes were tallied and the editorial board weighed all the evidence, we have settled on the five to be enshrined this year. Three are being awarded posthumously and two still very much active in the Traditional movement, albeit at opposite ends of the spectrum opinion-wise as to the authenticity of the conciliar popes.
We must add that one of those receiving numerous votes and therefore eligible, has himself expressed in the past that he would not be available to be acknowledged for any honor afforded him. That person is Father M. E. Morrison, better known the world over as "Father Moderator" from the well-known Traditio.com website. Indeed, he was the internet pioneer who has been at the forefront for well over a decade and before that in other mediums in separating the wheat from the chaff. And though we would dearly like to bow to the readers' votes and select Father, he chooses to keep his own sacerdotal life and history private and, in deference to his stated wishes, we will respect and honor that. Suffice it to say, we salute him and assert he does belong in the Hall of Honor and in many hearts throughout the world he's there. A great majority have learned of the terrible devastation wrought by Vatican II and received hope from his words over the years, not to mention the invaluable Traditional Catholic Directory he has published and updated over the past eleven years. Despite differences with others in the Traditional Movement, he has always stood as an independent voice for the Traditional Movement and, through a true sensus Catholicus perspective, has striven to provide the clearest picture possible of the situation as well as providing a comprehensive compendium of documents, quotes and devotions for Catholics to utilize. He has been proven correct in his assessments most of the time. He warned of Campos well before it was even a possibility. He warned of a cozying up to Rome by some in the SSPX long before anyone else did. He warned of Ratzinger's liberalism..well before...well, you get the picture. Some say he is too harsh, and yet, who enshrined in the Hall is not without some blemishes, some bad judgments, some poor decisions? Not one nor any one of us from this editor to every reader throughout the world.
That is why no one should be surprised this year at the selections finally agreed upon. They include His Excellency Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo-dinh-Thuc and Father Urban Snyder, both deceased as well as His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais of the Society of St. Pius X and Father Anthony Cekada who has gained in visibility from his well-received refutations of the attacks on those who consider the conciliar popes are not Catholic. Indeed, Father Cekada's arguments leveled the playing field, if you will, and his chief antagonizer retreated to refocus his strategy toward the battlefield of EWTN and the conciliar church as it should be. It does no good to stir up a hornet's nest in one's own family. And Traditional Catholics are all one family whether they be SSPX, independent, CMRI, SSPV, Trento or even some Home-aloners or some FSSP who refuse to say the Novus Ordo. More are being given the graces to join this Traditional Catholic family, but the bickering amongst ourselves only serves to deter others from assisting at the Immemorial Canonized Holy Mass of All Ages. There must be unity in all things essential which means the dogmas, doctrines, and the inerrant Scriptures leave no room for opinion. They are essential to the Faith. The same with infallible documents of the Church when a true Pope or Council speak on Faith and Morals. Roma locuta, causa finita est. In those things which are open to discussion we must afford the freedom to discuss. This includes the question as to the validity of orders, whether the conciliar popes are Catholic or not, and various positions of assorted traditional groups, as well as studying positions and statements by previous Popes, Saints and Doctors of the Church in applying their wisdom to today's unprecedented crisis. To suppress freedom of speech in these areas is fascism. There must be liberty to discuss openly. Most importantly in all things: CHARITY. With those ground rules every Traditional Catholic can better understand why things have grown progressively worse and what each needs to do to restore the Faith. It begins with prayer.
That is why we are proud of the candidates to be enshrined this year. All of these nominees have worked in the vineyard for the Truths and Traditions for over twenty years and, even in the public limelight, always placed prayer as the priority. Several candidates were nominated, but do not yet meet the 20-year rule as of this time. In fact, this is the first year there are no laity among those being enshrined for no one received the necessary majority or met the duration requirements. In the future, just as the Baseball Hall of Fame does, they will be eligible and we look forward to their inclusion.
But for this year - 2006 - we present five candidates. In lieu of publicly honoring Father Moderator, we have thus, with the recommendation of the editorial board, decided to establish and extend a venerable Tower of Trent Trophy to a person who preceded Vatican II. Each year hence one will be inducted into the Hall of Honor who preceded the wreckovation of Vatican II. Thus we have chosen to honor a great man today. He is one who we rely on today in remembering the importance of the Proper of the Mass with his magnificent 15-volume masterpiece The Liturgical Year. This Benedictine Abbot who spearheaded the reform of Gregorian Chant and the Benedictines in France in the 19th century adds so much insight, treasures and spiritual meditation to each day. It prompts the reader to appreciate all the more the infrangible Holy Sacrifice and the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church. Thus, we are most pleased to present - as the fifth enshrinee into the Tower of Trent Hall of Honor in 2006 - the Most Reverend Abbot of Solesmes, Dom Prosper Louis Pascal Gueranger. Each year aside from four (if they meet eligibility) we will open up the fifth spot to a notable Church luminary who lived and promoted the Truths of Trent and all Holy Mother Church has always taught.
Each Wednesday for the next five weeks are dedicating to one of these five noted. Beginning Wednesday on the feast of the French priest St. Vincent de Paul, and in the spirit of "the last shall be first," we honor another French cleric Dom Gueranger. Next Wednesday - July 26 - on the feast of Saint Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we will honor His Excellency Archbishop Thuc. The following Wednesday - August 2 - the Feast of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church we honor Father Urban Snyder. With the posthumous awards completed, we will then honor two of the living leaders who run the gamut in today's traditional opinions. In deference of rank, we will honor His Excellency Bernard Tissier de Mallerais on the feast of Saint John Marie Vianney - August 9. It is fitting considering that he co-consecrated Bishop Castro de Mayer's successor Bishop Licinio Rangel of the Campos Society of St. John Marie Vianney. We will finish up the 2006 Tower of Trent Awards on the Feast of Saint Joachim, Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 16th when we pay tribute to Father Anthony Cekada who has, in a way, become the link between Archbishop Thuc and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was enshrined as a charter member of the Hall of Honor in 2004.
So that is the line-up. We waited until mid-July this year rather than in May to reveal the 2006 Tower of Trent Awards for a number of reasons. One was the hospitalization of this editor's bride of 25 years and the necessary time for recuperation, another was that we wanted to do extensive research into each candidate, most notably Archbishop Thuc to assure our readers that all candidates are truly worthy. We can confidently say they are, especially His Excellency from Vietnam for he truly deserves this honor and the readers' have chosen wisely. This week we pay tribute to Abbe Dom Prosper Gueranger, a man who provided the wisdom and devotion to countless souls that could well someday make him a holy Doctor of the Church.
We began our 17th year of publishing with our tenth on the internet, which originated with our publishing the monthly Catholic-Internet Network for nearly two years before debuting The Daily Catholic on November 1, 1997. And, speaking of looking back, we were proud to have shared a sample of some of the best articles of 2005: Sixty of them!
TOWER OF TRENT Tribute
The Straight Stuff
Griff Ruby provides the third installment of his series The Way Back to the Mainstream as he concentrates on why Catholicism has something false religions cannot provide because, when push comes to shove, most people are looking for stability and sensibility to what life really means. There is only one Church which provides the answers and once Traditional Catholics stop sniping at each other, the path will be cleared to welcome many into Christ's True Church for everyday Modernist Rome is proving it is no longer Catholic. When our friends in the Novus Ordo finally are given the grace to realize this, when Protestants can no longer justify the errors of their origins, will we be ready to accommodate them? To answer their questions? To save their souls? Or will we Traditional Catholics still be bickering over petty things that don't amount to a hill of beans when salvation is at stake? It's the Mass. the sacred Priesthood, and the infrangible doctrines taught for nearly 2000 years. Griff explains how the stability of Doctrine and the Traditional Latin Mass are the unifying points. If we pray, we can be ready for the rush, but only if we are united in purpose as he points out in his column The Appeal of Catholicism and Hindrance Number 1.
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica returns with a theme based on the second-hand smoke theory. While that may or may not remain a theory, another second-hand smoke is no theory and that is the second-hand smoke of satan that manifests itself in something called "Second-hand Catholicism" which takes away the absolute substance and replaces the infrangible truths of Catholicism with a saccharine semblance of 'Catholicism' that is totally foreign to all that was taught up to 1958. Especially over the last 40 years this devastating second-hand smoke has been wafting up, choking and infecting countless millions, not so much affecting lungs, but souls. The smoke of satan has slithered in and penetrated every aspect of the Church where the only way to not be contaminated is by donning the anti-contamination 'suits' of Traditional Catholicism and remaining in the state of Sanctifying Grace. Only in this way can one avoid the terrible, harmful and devastating effects of this sinister smoke unleashed at Vatican II. "Second-hand Catholicism" Is Dangerous to Your Eternal Salvation.
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost, he focuses on today's Epistle from St. Paul to the Romans in which the Apostle to the Gentiles reminds us of what is necessary to have eternal life. We must be crucified with Christ for there can be no victory without the Cross, no resurrection of the body unless we die to sin and shroud our souls in the white linen of sanctifying grace. Those who persist in altering the Commandments to meet their instant gratifications or wayward thinking that man can reach Heaven outside of Holy Mother Church are in for a big surprise come Judgment time when our Lord will say, 'depart from me, you workers of iniquity, for I know ye not.' Father reminds us of what St. Peter admonished in his very first sermon 'save yourselves from this perverse generation' and perverse man has become because he has not paid heed to Peter's other words about the wiles of the devil who goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour. Those not wanting to be the next meal for this mangy beast would do well to heed the words of Sacred Scripture and learn; something the conciliar church has refused to do in continuing down the course of no return in promoting universal salvation. Woe be to them as Father points out in his sermon in which he echoes St. Peter's words recorded by St. Luke to "save yourselves from" "This Perverse Generation"
Doctors of the Church
Today is the Traditional Double Feast of The Seraphic Doctor Saint Bonaventure, and, as part of our "gems from the past" for our Summer Mode Issues we bring you our profiles on this holy twenty-third Doctor in our completed chronological series on the Doctors of the Church. Bonaventure was a man full of "good fortune" from his earliest years. Humility was his virtue; his role model was St. Francis of Asissi, the holy founder who named him. He followed this man, continuing the ideals of the Franciscans, guiding them during turbulent times when growing pains created problems in the ranks and with various ecclesial authorities opposed to the Friars Minor. This Universal Doctor was one of the first saintly Cardinals of the Church. He was close friends with "The Angelic Doctor" St. Thomas Aquinas and the saintly king of France King Louis IX. He was the architect of the 2nd Council of Lyons and, fittingly, was called home by God immediately following completion of the Council. His work done on earth but continued through his writings and example; so much so that Saint Bonaventure is known as The Seraphic Doctor.
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost, he focuses on today's Gospel in which our Lord reminds His disciples how important it is to heed the Lord thy God and not be as the Scribes and Pharisees. In the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday Jesus also speaks of being reconciled with thy brother. But at what cost, Father asks, to deny what Christ has taught? Never! But that is exactly what the current occupant of the Chair of Peter indicates in his constant heresy that the Jewish religion that rejected the Messias can still be saved by waiting for another to come and not only that, but there is no need now for them to convert as Christ commanded in Mark 16: 15-16 and Matthew 28: 19-20. Thus we have the conciliar compromise that carries so many Catholics further into apostasy. Benedict, who should be a Scripture scholar considering his background, seems to forget the curses in Leviticus which Father reminds and the correlation to the Book of the Apocalypse. Pray for those who have been deceived, pray the Offertory prayer today that says "I will bless the Lord, Who hath given me understanding." In these times we see history repeating itself for the God of Justice and Mercy has withdrawn His graces because a withered branch has no life, the salt has lost its savor, and thanks to the global apostasy of those who were once Catholic, as Father explains in his sermon, the conciliar church, the Newchurch of Vatican II is, like the Jews, A Branch Cut Off
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Fourth Sunday After Pentecost, which this year is superseded by the Feast of the Visitation, he focuses on this joyful mystery when Elizabeth immediately recognized Mary as Theotokos - the Greek word for Bearer of God. Thus she is the Mother of God. Even the child in Elizabeth's womb recognized this truth - having been granted the grace to identify God even before both were physically born. More proof of the fact that life begins at conception and that abortion during any part of the pregnancy cycle is murder. What greater attribute to motherhood than these two holy women with child embracing in all Christian love and fidelity? Father shares the truth of Sacred Scripture passages and the teachings of several saints who confirm the importance of the Visitation in affirming Mary as Theotokos and our heavenly Mother as well. Father refutes through these holy saints those who do not follow what Christ wills, those who dismiss Mary as a Catholic fable or think Mary is not necessary for salvation. She is very necessary as Father points out in his sermon. Theotokos, the God-Bearer
Faithful to Tradition
John Gregory continues his series on the Joyful Mysteries leading up to Christmastide. Today he delves into the Visitation and the magnificence of not only the Babe in Mary's womb, but the one in Elizabeth's womb - the one who leapt with joy: St. John the Baptist. John points out the purity of this moment and how the devil mocks it by enslaving man to abortion and rape. John then relates how scripturally Mary's visitation corresponds with David the Prophet, from whose House of lineage Jesus would come. John lays out the correlating verses of scripture from 2 Kings 6 and Luke 1, then, in the fashion of wrapping a package for the Christ Child for His Birthday, John ties it all in a beautiful bow as God intended by showing the correlation of the first book of the Old Testament (Genesis 3) with the last book of the New Testament (Apocalypse 12). He illustrates the role of the man, the woman, the serpent and the angel in salvation history with the man child Jesus Christ - the New Adam, the woman as the Blessed Virgin Mary - the New Eve, the serpent as the dragon which is the devil and the angel which is both Gabriel and Michael. For John's fascinating meditation, see The Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation.

2006 igNOMinious gNOMes
We complete today the 40 worst offenders with the revelation of who the readers voted for as the top ten offenders of 2006 in our Third Annual Selection of the igNOMinious gNOMe Awards for the Hall of Shame. Those identified are a fair assessment of those whom you chose as classic examples of the Modernists who have most veered so far from the path Holy Mother Church has always traveled in conveying to the faithful flocks why shepherds are so vital in guiding souls toward eternal salvation. That is something those selected have not placed as a priority for the new religion is contrary to what was taught for nearly 2000 years. You see these shepherds in wolves' clothing no longer deem the Catholic Faith or the fullness of the sacraments necessary. For today the authentic sensus Catholicus has given way to novelty and innovation, with ecumenism raising its ugly head while the Mass of Tradition is consigned to the medieval bin and badmouthed. Who are these apostates? You've seen thirty exposed already, now get ready for the Countdown of the 10th through number one worst offenders
2006 igNOMinious gNOMes
We continue with the next ten in our Countdown for this Third Annual Selection of the igNOMinious gNOMe Awards for 2006 as we identify those whom you chose as classic examples of the Modernists who have most veered so far from the path Holy Mother Church has always traveled in conveying to the faithful flocks why shepherds are so vital in being guided to eternal salvation. That salvation today, contrary to what was taught for nearly 2000 years, no longer deems the Catholic Faith or the fullness of the sacraments necessary. So sadly they have not placed their trust in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, but cast out on their own in not only forsaking their own soul but those countless souls they are responsible for before God. Today that benchmark of stability and the absolutes of the Faith so necessary for attaining Heaven, have been ignored and, having itching ears, they have embraced novelty and dangerous heresies, with modernism and ecumenism raising their ugly heads while the Mass of Tradition is consigned to the medieval bin and badmouthed. Who are these apostates? We continue to reveal who you voted for. Wednesday you learned of those voted 40th through 31st. Yesterday you discovered who came in 30th through 21st. Tomorrow we will reveal the top ten worst of 2006 from 10 to number 1 Today we present Countdown of the 20th through the 11th worst offenders

That salvation today, contrary to what was taught for nearly 2000 years, no longer deems the Catholic Faith or the fullness of the sacraments necessary. At least that is the thinking of those who we acknowledge igNOMiniously today. The capital NOM stands, of course, for the synthetic, man-made concoction issued by Paul VI that dared to usurp the divinely-ordained Immemorial Mass of All Ages, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - the Traditional Latin Mass as the dogmatic Council of Trent decreed and Pope St. Pius codified "in perpetuity." Today that benchmark of stability and sense has given way to novelty and innovation, with ecumenism raising its ugly head while the Mass of Tradition is consigned to the medieval bin and badmouthed. Who are these apostates? We continue to reveal who you voted for. Yesterday you learned of those voted 40th through 31st. Tomorrow we will reveal those 20 to 11, and Saturday the top ten losers.

Today that benchmark of stability and sense has given way to novelty and innovation, with ecumenism raising its ugly head while the Mass of Tradition is consigned to the medieval bin and badmouthed. Who are these apostates? We basically had most of the same Usual Suspects and thus, for expediency sake, we decided to expand the eligibility requirements from last year's 50 votes to 200 this year or we would, quite possibly, have had to list over two-thirds of the bishops in the United States. We simply do not have the time or the resources to profile each of these rogues and rascals who have so forsaken the souls they were entrusted with. As it is there were 40 who garnered at least 200 this year which is quite an expansion from our original six in 2004. Thus we are breaking this up into a countdown in which we present those enshrined into the HALL OF SHAME from 40 to 31. Tomorrow we will reveal those 30 to 21. Friday those 20 to 11, and Saturday the top ten losers. Countdown of the 40th through 31st worst offenders
Making Sense of sensus Catholicus
During this Octave of Corpus Christi, Father James F. Wathen, esteemed author of The Great Sacrilege - which in over 35 years has yet to be refuted and can't be - presents a treatise on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar and the magnificent logic of God's rationale for sharing such an Awesome Mystery with His stubborn creatures who so often show no appreciation for what they have been given in the holy Church and sacramental grace God has so generously endowed to man. Just as Sunday's Gospel illustrates the banquet where the master invites those previously rejected, God has provided the ultimate Banquet in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where all are invited to partake of the God-Man in fully participating in God's ultimate love for man. However there are conditions the Almighty has set in order to worthily receive this priceless Gift, provided only through the awesome Sacramental Mystery of the Holy Eucharist and only in the True Church of Christ by an alter Christus validly consecrated to confect the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. The Essence of Corpus Christi
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Sunday after Corpus Christi - the Second Sunday After Pentecost, he speaks of the consequences of those who do not take seriously enough the responsibility of their debt to the Lamb of God for His ultimate Sacrifice on the Cross. One cannot partake of the heavenly Banquet if one has not properly prepared nor if one does not appreciate what is at stake. The Holy Trinity has provided the perfect assistance to everyone to realize the infinite value of this Banquet and, through Holy Mother Church, provides It for us in the Most Holy Eucharist - the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ through the awesome Mystery of the Transubstantiation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the form and matter confected only by a validly ordained, consecrated priest pronouncing the infrangible words mandated by the Council of Trent and codified for all time by a holy Pope. Yet, despite this and the loving guidance of Christ's Own Blessed Mother and the protection of celestial choirs of angels led by St. Michael to keep us safe so that we will persevere in practicing and preserving the Sacred Deposit of the Faith as handed down by Saints, Doctors of the Church, Popes and dogmatic Councils, many respond more like those invited in today's Gospel by making excuse after excuse why they can't comply with the Master's invitation. Sin holds rein and forgiveness is considered only on the humanistic terms of tolerance and diversity. Unconditional forgiveness is unheard of for they have declined the invitation to join the Church Militant, to pull their weight in the Communion of Saints because they opt for another trio: the world, the flesh and the devil. Father explains in his sermon. As We Forgive Those
Doctors of the Church
Today is the feast of the holy Doctor of the Church Saint Ephrem the Deacon, and in honor of this saintly Syrian, who was the second chronologically to receive such a title following Saint Athanasius, we present a brief profile in our "Gems from the Past" series. St. Ephrem was beloved by his people and one called the "Prophet of his people" and a deacon who combated heretical sects and Roman emperors, not by raising his voice in anger, but through Syriac poetry in winning the people to the Faith. His works are integral to the Syrian Church. It is fitting this year that his feast falls on the Second Sunday after Pentecost when our Lord speaks in Luke of inviting the poor and feeble, the blind and lame, for Ephrem reached out and cared for the least of his brethren in winning them to the Lord. He was a clarion of clarity to those suffering from the confusion of the Arian heresy. He was the "Harp of the Holy Ghost" and "Column of the Church"
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica shows that one doesn't need a calculator to add up where the root of the trouble in the Church is today: Bad bishops from the top on down. Two of the ranking conciliar potentates in the states are the heads of Los Angeles and Washington D.C. The assembly of conciliar bishops meeting in Los Angeles today would fit the very essence of the title of Gabriel's piece "Conciliar Cowards" and "Corruption" for it sums up what is going on. That is why he pinpoints the worst of the worst - two men who have deceived so many, who have declared outright heresy and co-opted with the devil in denying Christ and forsaking the flocks who are, by their words and actions, calculated cunning wolves, the most ravenous of the ravenous. You know them well because they are the darlings of the liberals, sodomites, freemasons and modernists: Roger Mahony and Theodore McCarrick; two men among the many who obstinately refuse to hear the Truth. Gabriel explains in his column Conciliar Cowards, Corruption & Calculators
Fiat Voluntas Dei
Because it's the feast of Corpus Christi, we bring you a special "Gems from the Past" by Timothy Duff in which he provided inspiration and a fail-safe method of being always in the right frame of mind to receive Holy Communion and never to take this Awesome Gift of the Bread of Angels for granted. He gleans several pointers from St. Louis Marie de Montfort's True Devotion and so, on this day when countless Catholics renew their consecration or fulfill for the first time their consecration Tim furnishes an excellent checklist to continue the fervor. There is no better time to focus on truly and worthily receiving Christ into our very beings and being conscious of this great and wondrous gift throughout our entire day Tim offers his short formula of spiritual success in True Devotion and Holy Communion
Faithful to Tradition
John Gregory presents a poignant piece in which he focuses on the divine number three, especially in this time when we are still basking in the grace-filled glow of Trinity Sunday. He points out that there are often three ways of looking at things. Sometimes that is healthy, but not when it contradicts what the Divine has ordained or what Peter's legitimate successors have decreed. This is true regardless of the fact the vast majority ignore this wisdom already proclaimed by the Church and past reliable and holy Pontiffs in opting for their own way of thinking. It can create problems when what should be the progression of one, then two replacing one goes too far towards establishing three. There are Three Persons in One God, and only One Church - Unam Ecclesiam: the Roman Catholic Church and that you can take to the bank - as in the thrice-defined dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. For some reason, the conciliar church doesn't get that as John expounds in his column The "New" New Covenant
Doctors of the Church
The holy Franciscan Saint Anthony of Padua is chronologically the twenty-first Doctor to be named a Doctors of the Church. He was a man who was not blessed with good health, but turned that weakness into one of his greatest strengths. He was a holy priest who truly understood the meaning of Crusade and conquered many to Christ not through the sword, but through his eloquent speech, miracles and humility. He sought the crown of martyrdom, but was rewarded instead with the miraculous phenomenon of having the Child Jesus visit him, rest in his arms to encourage and pray with this beloved Franciscan whose preaching and odor of sanctity converted countless souls to the Faith. "Hammer of Heretics"
Doctors of the Church
Today's Doctor of the Church Saint Basil the Great was among several other great saints from the fourth century who also faced the intense persecutions and calumnies of the Arian bishops and suffered greatly, never complaining and living a life of austerity while his fellow Arian bishops lived high on the hog, much like traditional clergy today as opposed to the indulging conciliar hierarchs. Like his good life-long friend and fellow Doctor of the Church St. Gregory Nazianzen, Basil, too, came from holy stock and had two brothers who became bishops, a father, mother and sister who became saints. This Bishop of Caesarea was featured as the sixth on the chronological list of Doctors of the Church. St. Basil, one of the few to receive the title of Magnus, is considered the "Orator of Orthodoxy"
On the BattleLine
Atila Sinke Guimar�es sums up the propositions being proffered by modern Rome as to a new book slated to be released later this year which contain supposed writings of Sister Lucia Santos that contradict Catholic doctrine as Atila proves go against Christ's Own words in Sacred Scripture. More, he suspects - and so should every Catholic from the Blue Army to every Fatima devotee - of the twisting of the truths and altering the Fatima message to meet conciliar demands and pander to Zionist interests rather than what Our Lady appeared for - that man meets God's demands or else. We've seen the "or else" played out over the past century - events and attitude that the earlier infirm and petite Sister Lucia would have shuddered at and recoiled from, but now we see pictures of a robust, rather worldly-for-a-contemplative air about her, and even proficient on computers - this from a poor peasant hunched over since her youth??? Who was this Sister Lucy Two? Was she a knowing partner to the apostasy by fabricating the real message of Fatima? All questions that need to be answered because the faithful have had enough of this tail-wagging-the-dog from these hyenas on high. Atila spells out the obvious in his column posted at Tradition In Action with his Bird's Eye View of A Sister Lucy Favorable to Judaism
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for Trinity Sunday, he entreats Catholics to realize why they cannot subscribe to the new ecumenical church that is morphing continuously as the apostate progressivists seek to further make it into their own chameleon; a proper analogy considering it was the reptile who first deceived. And these men are vipers who would dare alter the One, True Faith founded by Jesus Christ and which was practiced and preserved over the centuries by saints and sinners, alike despite whatever enemy satan launched at them. The Faith of the Holy Catholic Church has survived every foe and God has vanquished Her adversaries and the True Church, now in eclipse, will be the victor once again in God's time, which is contingent on the faith, perseverance and prayers of the faithful. From the beginning God has warned against collaborating or mixing with those not of the same belief, but today that wisdom and grace has been abandoned in order to forge a universal religion where all are saved according to man's dictates, not the Almighty's. That won't get many past Purgatory if they persist in accepting the heresy that Jews and Muslims worship the same God. Have these luminaries of the New Order forgotten the Holy Trinity? It seems also they have forgotten Sacred Scripture and what past reliable Popes decreed. Father explains in his sermon. The Worship of the True God
Catholic PewPOINT
In honor of two Traditional stalwart priests, editor Michael Cain pays tribute to the beloved Capuchin Father Carl Pulvermacher, whose Requiem High Mass and burial are slated for today in Dickinson, Texas with Bishop Richard Williamson coming all the way from Argentina to officiate. Five hours east in the Crescent City, Father Paul Trinchard will celebrate his 40th anniversary as a priest today in the loneliness of his own oratory chapel, exiled from saying Mass on this celebratory day in the church where his great uncle is interred - the priest who probably influenced Fr. Paul more than anyone else for it is the same priest who baptized Fr. Trinchard's own mother. But he has been denied this privilege and fervent life-long wish in direct disobedience to Pope St. Pius V's eternal celebret that a priest has the right and duty to say the Immemorial Canonized Latin Mass, and only that approved rite. Who denied him? Who else but another of those cookie-cutter grand potentates who rule over the lodges of each diocese. In this case the grinch is New Orleans' Alfred Hughes, the little Napoleon of the south. Short of storming the portal of St. Mary's Assumption, Father Paul will quietly say his Holy Mass today as he has done each day since the early 90's when he realized that to obey the conciliarists was to disobey God. Cain shares the story of these two priests and urges all to stay the course, to put away the barbs and bickering, recognize the who the real enemy is, and unite for the good of restoring Holy Mother Church for the Mystical Bride remains in eclipse due to the devastation wrought by Vatican II. Cain explains in his Tributes in this Time of Epikeia
Making Sense of sensus Catholicus
On this day when many fear the omens of 666, Father James F. Wathen, author of The Great Sacrilege - which no one has been able to refute for the past 35 years - shows how the Scriptures provide hope and optimism as he takes the reader through Romans 7 and Romans 8 and the intent of the Apostle Paul in respect to each taking accountability before God for their actions and taking care to guard the concupiscences that lead one into sin. Only through the grace of the Holy Ghost can one escape the traps laid out by satan and our fallen human nature. That is why Christ sent His Spirit of Truth to guide us and keep us safe. But it is up to each of us to abide by what Divine Revelation teaches. There is nothing to fear if we are resigned to the divine Will and allow the Holy Ghost to work in us through sacramental grace to help effect the good that God seeks in man. We cannot look to others to provide this for it begins with each and every one of us cooperating with the Spirit of Truth. Father explains in his essay for the Octave Week of Pentecost The Life of the Spirit Working in us through the Holy Ghost
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica puts into perspective what tomorrow's date signifies for those who believe and trust in God and realize that the true Catholic Church provides the narrow, but sure way to overcome the beast, but the vast majority of the world have already given in to the beast - the very one who will demand its mark on every person as Apocalypse foretells. Gabriel reminds us of two other dates and how one signaled one of America's greatest accomplishments on the beaches of Normandy, and the other sounded the clarion of satan's entrance into the mainstream of society 40 years ago tomorrow. The revolution of the sixties, combined with the revolution within the Church thanks to the smoke of satan from Vatican II on, have empowered the evil one and brought us to the brink of where the world is today on the eve of 6-6-06. Is the Antichrist near or is he already here and ready to be revealed? As Gabriel points out, time will tell, but prayer and reparation will tell more on how many souls will be saved. Regardless of what it signals, those who make light of the devil will have, as Gabriel writes, hell to pay. He explains in his column 6-6-06 Is More Than a Number or Date
Miters that Matter
With this week being within the Octave of Pentecost we want to bring you a pastoral letter from His Excellency Bishop Mark Pivarunas, CMRI, who wrote this twelve years ago for Pentecost, but it is as pertinent in 2006 as it was in 1994 or 36 A.D. for Catholic truth cannot change or ever be watered down or compromised, something Eternal Rome would never do, but modern Rome has been quick to do. The message and medium are endless and nothing ever changes in how the Sanctifier works within only One Church - the holy Catholic Church, the only One founded by Christ, and the only One which Jesus promised to send "His Spirit of Truth." The idea that the Perfect God would contradict Himself or later change His Mind and send the Holy Ghost to rebellious sects - including the conciliar church which, by its actions and decrees cannot possibly be Catholic - is pure modernist nonsense and His Excellency refutes such in his Pastoral Letter The Holy Ghost and the Catholic Church
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for Pentecost Sunday, he reminds all that there are many kinds of spirits and only One which is the "Spirit of Truth" - the Holy Ghost Who is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity and Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. It is the Son Who promised He would send His Spirit and it is that Spirit which has always guided the Church Christ founded upon the Rock of Peter. But in these times, just as Holy Scripture has foretold and as previous reliable pontiffs such as Pope Pius XII alerted us, and as we see cropping up everywhere thanks to the total laxity and sell-out of the conciliar church, many spirits are arising which come not from Heaven but from the depths below, intended to confuse, deceive and to shackle souls forever inside the gates of Gehenna. Father points out just a few of the evidential false prophets today and their modus operandi. They love to sew fear, but those who trust in the Holy Ghost have nothing to fear even with the pending 6-6-6 coming up this Tuesday. Those with Faith are not superstitious, but, through the gift of Wisdom recognize fallacy and foolishness come from the horned one, not the Dove of Truth. Father explains in his sermon. Testing the Spirits
Faithful to Tradition
John Gregory continues with the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary corresponding with this time of Paschaltide. For the Third Glorious Mystery he appropriately brings us the meditation on the Descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary as he once again utilizes Sacred Scripture to illustrate the wondrous events of Pentecost as the Birthday of the Church with the inerrant account of Saint Luke the Evangelist in the Acts of the Apostles. Just as Christ promised, He has sent His "Spirit of Truth." The Holy Ghost came with a rush of grace and inspiration, transforming the formerly apprehensive Apostles into men of virtuous courage who were now ready to fully take up the command Christ had given them. The charism of the Church was born that day and the Faith spread rapidly with three thousand on the first day. A glorious day it was! John shares his meditation on the Third Glorious Mystery The Descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary
In anticipation of tomorrow's glorious feast of Pentecost, we complete today the Novena to the Holy Ghost with the Ninth and Final Day. Today the Fruits of the Holy Ghost are the focus. This novena is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is the Ninth Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
The Straight Stuff
As a follow-up to his first installment of The Way Back to the Mainstream, Griff Ruby provides facts and figures that show the Traditional Catholic movement isn't as small as the so-called mainstream religions from Protestant to conciliar would like people to think. He also shows that only those who subscribe uncompromisingly to all the tenets of the holy Roman Catholic Church without exception and without innovation or novelty, can trace their faith back to Jesus Christ via the true, albeit narrow, road. No other religion can claim that Freeway of Faith and Griff provides the origins of many popular religions today to show they were founded by man, not God, and therefore will end up as dead-ends and cul-de-sacs that cannot connect with the True Church unless they abandon their vehicles of error, veer away from the detours and steer onto the only road to Heaven. Indeed Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus is a dogma - thrice-defined dogma no less - that is not open to debate. There is only one Interstate to salvation and that begins with adherence to what Traditional Catholics practice and believe as Griff explains in his second part of The Way Back to the Mainstream with Traditional Catholics ARE the Christian Mainstream
We continue today with the Eighth Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost. Today the Gift of Wisdom is the focus. This novena is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is the Eighthth Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
Making Sense of sensus Catholicus
Father James F. Wathen presents his third part on the reflection of how Christ provided in His words recorded in the Gospel of Saint John 15, what one might call, a crash-course for His Apostles in refreshing them on His divinity and how He would be with them always before He would leave them and ascend into Heaven and then send His Spirit - the Holy Ghost - on Pentecost. Christ informs His friends the Apostles, in His magnificent words in the Gospel of Saint John 15: 7-27, of what they will face and reassures them they will have the grace to persevere if they are faithful and why they must follow His commands. The success of His Church depends on their fidelity. Father points out the contradiction of the conciliar church today to this perpetual command, for in these times true Christian charity has been abandoned for political correctness and the vehemence of hate is heaped only on those who strive to uncompromisingly follow Christ and all He taught, just as Christ foretold in the Gospel of Saint John. He sums it up succinctly: There is no such thing as cafeteria Christianity with our Lord. Father proves his point in Christ Refreshes His Apostles Part III
We continue today with the Seventh Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost. Today the Gift of Counsel is the focus. This novena is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Seventh Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost

The carbon tax has been abolished by parliament.
The Senate on Thursday voted 39-32 to scrap Labor's carbon pricing scheme after securing the support of Palmer United Party senators and other crossbenchers.
Subdued applause from government senators greeted the result as the Abbott government finally delivered on its key election promise.
The vote followed days of protracted negotiations with Clive Palmer, who embarrassed the government last week by pulling his crucial support for the repeal at the last minute.
Mr Palmer's concern the government had not honoured a previous deal over its amendments resulted in his Senate team siding with Labor and the Greens to vote down the repeal.
But they've since agreed on tougher measures to ensure cuts to electricity and gas prices are passed through to consumers and businesses, and this time around PUP backed the government.
The three PUP senators and the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party's Ricky Muir gave the government four of the six crossbench votes it needed to abolish the tax.
Family First's Bob Day and Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm - who also joined the cross bench on July 1 - rounded out the majority needed.
Another crossbencher, the DLP's John Madigan, voted for the repeal.
Independent Nick Xenophon was not in the chamber for the vote.
Labor and the Australian Greens opposed the repeal but didn't have the numbers to save the scheme introduced by the Gillard government in 2012.
Greens leader Christine Milne made a last-minute plea to the crossbench telling them it was a "critical moment" for the nation.
A vote to repeal was a vote for failure to address global warming, she warned.
"Australia will be relegated to a pariah and a backwater."

flooom necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
Create a nice Web 2.0 looking GUI for a calculator tool that will be used for Stereoscopic 3D Recording (for 3D films). There exist already screenshots that show the different parts of the design needed. All of your suggestions are appreciated - I try to answer as soon as possible.
A photoshop or iIlustrator compatible file (with layers, compatible with CS1) is needed. If you like to create the design in another software (e.g. I was asked for Inkscape) you can do that of corse - as long as I can import the file format in photoshop or illustrator. If you are unsure you can just send me a testfile - no problem!
Looking forward to seeing your great designs!
Stereoscopic Calculator
About:I founded a startup to provide tools for stereoscopic 3D recording. 3DCinema is coming and I try to provide the necessary tools to make therecording of 3D content as easy as possible.
Stereoscopic Calculator:This is a tool to calculate the positions of the two cameras needed for3D recording. Depending on the set, the cameras and lenses you use, thefinal screen width in the cinema and so on, the distance (interaxial called) between the two cameras and the angle (angulation called) beween the optical axes of the cameras vary. This means the interaxial and the angulation have to be recalculated in every shot. To ease that calculation this software was written.
The software is used on a Laptop or on a handheld display with touch screen (like iphone - this will be a later development)
Your task: Ineed your graphical skills to make this calculator look nice and tomake the handling easy. The calculator will be used from creative,optical thinking film peopleso we should focus on a serious, simple,clear but nice looking design. The design should be a little liketypical Web 2.0 or the iphone designs
(a little bit with design structures and symbols like: http://www.adairsystems.com/photoca…uwodAnHxig - but you are free to make your own suggestions)
But remember that the design/software is used on a film set, where time is short and everything must be clear on one sight.
Thissoftware is used on a laptop with a mouse or on a mobile device wth atouch screen - so make the buttons large enough to be able to touch itwith your finger (see Specifications for physical screen size)
Specifications: Thesoftware is to be used on PC/Mac and alternatively on a mobile device.The size of the design in pixel must be 800 x 480 Pixel (landscapeformat preferred) - the physical size for the handheld application(mobile device) is 93,5 mm x 56 mm (diagonal 4,3"). Please rememberthis size to make the buttons large enough to be able to touch it withyour finger tips (touch screen display).
User Interface and what is has to have: Imade a couple of screenshots to make clear what we need (please use itonly as a rough idea - make your own suggestions of a composition ofthe different elements! The only thing which is a fixed number is thepixel resolution of the whole application; all other boxes, parts,pictures can be adapted to your design):
General area – shown everytime (grayarea - doesn't need to be gray in your design - feel free to make ownsuggestions - it should be good readable even on sunlight):
- Inthe upper left corner I have the name of the application "StereoscopicCalculator" - there doesn't' exist a logo yet - maybe you have a goodsimple idea of making this name looking good (maybe with a addition:created by Florian Maier)- Settingsoverview (next to the name): this part can be located anywhere - thisis to show the user on one sight all settings without having to look atthe different (hidden) tabs – cam be located anywhere- Load and save buttons: can be located anywhere- Help, Info and Update Button: can be located anywhere- Interaxialand angulation settings: On these counters the results of thecalculations are shown. On the 3d recording device the same lookingcounters exist, where the user just transfers the values to positionthe camera. I just photographed the original counters. Please redesignthese counters to a nice looking graphic that looks similar to thephotos. - Interaxial bar: On this bar thewhole range with possible interaxials is shown (from 0 cm to 12 cm).One camera (the one for the right eye) stays at 0 cm all the time andthe other camera (for the left eye) is variable. The distance betweenthe two cameras can move from 0 cm (both cameras overlapping) to 12 cmat maximum. Depending on the values of the set, the camera and lens,the screen and so on there is an upper limit for a maximum interaxialwhich lays somewhere between 0 cm and 12 cm. The user should not exceedthe value so this range until this value is marked green and the restred. The percentage in the green bar shows how much of the possibleinteraxial is actually used. Please create a nice looking camerasymbol, that is large enough to move it by touching it with a fingertip. The two arrows on the right side should allow to move the camerastep by step by pressing the right or left button. The text on the baris just for explanation – maybe it is enough to show figures like shownin http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…-04.jpgTab area Create nice looking tabs with a short text explanation (symbols maybe in the style of http://www.adairsystems.com/photoca…uwodAnHxig but if you have better suggestions – feel free to post it). Create acontent graphic if needed. There are six tab designs and one keypaddesign needed:
- The first tab ("set" – see http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…-01.jpg)is for putting in values of the set for the distance of the virtualwindow (objects recorded in this area will be displayed on the surfaceof the projection screen) and the background distance – referred to the3D camera setup. Please create a graphic similar (but nicer J) to my suggestion. For the 3D Camera please use the graphics linked here: http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…Rig_01.jpg or alternatively http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…Rig_02.jpg . Make the field for the values (e.g. 20 m) large enough to touch it with finger tips. - The second tab ("camera" – see http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…or-02.jpg) is for choosing the camera type. - The third tab ("lens" – see http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…or-03.jpg) is for choosing the lens type with a choice of the focal lens. - The forth tab ("screen" – see http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…or-04.jpg) is for choosing maximum width of the screen. Please create a graphic using a screen like in http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…xample.jpg or any other screen as a example. If you have a better suggestion, feel free to post it here.- Prepare two additional tabs for "focus" and "logfile" - Keypad:For typing in the numbers a keypad with 12 fields (4 x 3 lines) plusdelete and ok button which is displayed either all over the screen onceyou need to type in a figure or maybe alternatively on the side insteadof the interaxial and angulation setting http://www.stereoscopic-calculator.…y.jpgIfyou have any questions or if something is unclear – please feel free topost it here. I'm looking forward to your cool designs!
Question: now you mentioned that this application needs to have a iphone like design similar to http://www.adairsystems.com/photoca…uwodAnHxig
do the elements shown in the iphone application like the : depth , flash, aperture need to be made ?
ifnot could you tell me what do the buttons need to say ? if you willhandle the text in the buttons later just let me know. should thiscomputer application have a similar design to some thing like ADOBEprogram's ?
or more like a ipod touch design ?
flooom: Thethings I like on that linked design is that it has nice looking simpleicons and that the buttons are designed with that web 2.0 look. Don'tpay too much attention to the color sheme – for my taste it's a bit toodark with all that black.
The application will be ported to an ipone or ipod touch later – so it's not wrong to aim a bit to that design.
Oneimportant thing is: Everything should be intuitive – you don't have asoftware like Adobe Programs or Word or whatever with atop-dropdown-menue "file" – "edit" – "settings" – "help"… Everything isaccessible through buttons and should be self-explaining. So it's morethe ipod touch design I would guess… (do you have a link to show meexactly what kind of design you mean?) not the old windows design –even if I work with elements like tabs, checkboxes, … look a bit on myscreenshots.
The "buttons"/pictures for the tabs, you should design,should include the pictures shown in my tabs – they need to be in twoversions – highlighted and normal… please see my screenshots…
If you have further questions feel free to contact me again…
- a clear, serious web 2.0 looking design ("look and feel" :-))
- should be reable as well in a situation where the user is in a hurry
- warm, light design (not too much black)
- gimmick-like designs
- not too colorful - make the different parts optical clear

KINGSTON — While the world is leaping ahead to 2013 Monday night, businesses in Kingston's historic uptown Stockade District will be turning the clocks back 100 years.
KINGSTON — While the world is leaping ahead to 2013 Monday night, businesses in Kingston's historic uptown Stockade District will be turning the clocks back 100 years.
Yes, in short, they'll be partying like it's the end of 1912 and the beginning of 1913. The fun starts at 7 p.m.
Juan Romero, co-owner of Duo Bistro at 50 John St., said the retro New Year's Eve event is the result of several businesses in the neighborhood looking for a different way to celebrate the new year.
"It was totally last-minute," Romero said.
Drinks will recall the pre-Prohibition era, menus also will reflect the time, and patrons are being encouraged to come dressed in fashions that reflect the period. (Think the popular PBS TV series "Downton Abbey" if you're looking for some inspiration.)
Those who wear period dress are promised special gifts or discounts.
Besides Duo Bistro, those participating include Boitson's Restaurant at 27 N. Front St., the Stockade Tavern at 313 Fair St., and Backstage Studio Productions Lounge at 323 Wall St. All are within a block of each other.
The night will also introduce a new tradition: Kingston's first-ever New Year's Eve ball drop, at midnight at the corner of Wall and North Front streets. That area will be closed to traffic all night.
To help evoke the era, Rebekah Milne and her partner at At Home Antiques, Seamus McCance, are making over the front lounge and private burlesque room at BSP to make them look like century-old suites.
Milne said the decor will include a genuine rolling bar cart that came from the Standard Furniture Co., which occupied BSP's building 100 years ago.
"The rest is all period items, and most of it from the Hudson Valley," Milne said.
Around 9 p.m., the Stockade will present Caprice Rouge, an Eastern European-style klezmer band. (Organizers describe them as a jazz-meets-polka combo.) Duo Bistro will present nationally renowned husband-and-wife duo Rebecca Martin and Larry Grenadier, performing old jazz and folk standards at 10 p.m. Boitson's will have DJ Raissa St. Pierre playing music, converted from 78 rpm records of the era.
Trevor Dunworth, manager at BSP, said the idea behind the night's festivities is simple: "We want to show everyone in the Hudson Valley how great uptown Kingston is."

A.J. Schurr thought someone was reading his mind. Earlier this week, Schurr was talking Army football with his teammates Alex Meier and Luke Proulx when he made a suggestion.
A.J. Schurr thought someone was reading his mind. Earlier this week, Schurr was talking Army football with his teammates Alex Meier and Luke Proulx when he made a suggestion.
"Hey, guys, how sick would it be if we played a night game here?" said Schurr, Army's freshman quarterback.
On Thursday, Schurr found a Facebook post that made his wish a reality. Schurr could be making his first career start under the lights at Michie Stadium.
Army announced its season opener against Morgan State will be moved from Saturday, Aug. 31 to Friday, Aug. 30 at West Point. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
"You see old highlight film and they show fans at Michie and you could tell it was under the lights," said Schurr, who finished at the top of the depth chart after Army's spring practice. "I've just been thinking about that and it's crazy to see the post pop up today. I'm pretty excited."
Army last played a night game at Michie Stadium on Oct. 23, 2009, against Rutgers.
When Army signed a television contract with CBS Sports Network after the 2009 season, both parties agreed to a noon or 3:30 p.m. Saturday window for home games.
Athletic director Boo Corrigan said the switch, which was agreed to by CBS Sports Network, was made partly because of a quirk on Army's home schedule, which had three games set on Saturdays of extended holiday weekends. By moving the game to Friday, it preserves Labor Day's three-day weekend for the Corps of Cadets, who are required to attend home games.
On Oct. 12, two days before Columbus Day, Eastern Michigan visits Michie Stadium. And on Nov. 9 before Veterans Day, Army hosts Western Kentucky.
"When we realized that we were playing games on three long weekends, we looked at anything that we could possibly do to help," Corrigan said. "I know historically we have not drawn well on that Labor Day Saturday. We thought about it from a couple different avenues and thought we would take care of the cadets and the community here and give them a Friday night as oppose to a Saturday and try something different."
Playing at night "gives you a feeling that it's an elite stage," Schurr said. "Not to say that playing on Saturday afternoon isn't, but there is a different feeling with a night game. I think it's exciting and it's cool."
The four remaining home games on Army's 2013 schedule — Eastern Michigan, Western Kentucky, Stanford on Sept. 14 and Wake Forest on Sept. 21 — will kick off at noon.
Corrigan said night games will not become the norm at West Point.

Featuring four-player online co-op, Renegade Ops will be published by Sega and feature a wide variety of heavily armed land and air vehicles. Players will take to those vehicles in an effort to stop a madman from taking over the world.
"A number of developers in the studio wanted to try developing a smaller digital project, so we gathered a team, built a new IP and Sega gave us the opportunity to carry this out," Senior Producer Andreas Thorsen said in a statement. "The IP is all about driving or flying around blowing stuff up while playing with your friends and that to us, is a dream-project."
The rundown from Sega:
Unleash your full arsenal of weapons and destroy anything that stands in your path as you battle to protect the free world in any way possible. Madman Inferno, the commander of a sinister terrorist organisation, has detonated a devastating bomb to demonstrate the power of his new deadly weapon. Furious at the world's leaders decision not to fight against Inferno, General Bryant has recruited a crack team of military specialists, known as the Renegade Ops, from around the globe to wage war against Inferno's promise of world domination.Renegade Ops is being developed for PC digital download, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network. The game is scheduled for release sometime this year.
Sharkey says: In an interview with Eurogamer, Thorsen said Renegade Ops is a top-down shooter influenced by the likes of Konami's old-school classic, Jackal. Nice.

ASUS Rampage III Extreme Review
Well the cat is out of the bag. Intel's Gulftown processors are out, and they are beastly. Not only in the power sense, but in the monetary sense as well. Clocking in at around $1000, these chips are at the typical entry price for the Extreme series processors. If you have the cash to drop on one of these chips, then the chances are you have the cash to invest in some worthy parts to accompany it. When you spend that much money on something, you want to get every ounce of value out of that item, and in the case of the i7 980X, ASUS wants people to know that buying their newest addition to their Republic of Gamers series, the Rampage III Extreme, is the first step to doing just that. Whether or not the board holds up to that hope, I can't yet say. But with ASUS's excellent history with their ROG line of components, and features like RC Bluetooth, and ROG Connect, they might very well have an excellent contender here.
Closer Look:
The box that the Rampage III Extreme comes in is well prepared for world domination. I have always been a fan of the sleek style that ASUS adorns components with, usually opting for more quality enclosures when a cheaper substitute would have sufficed. The outer box has a dark red theme with a red and silver flame motif exploding out from the bottom-right corner. Rampage III Extreme is proudly proclaimed near the top in a pretty awesome pearlescent print. Underneath the title, Designed For Overclocking and Windows 7 Ready logo can be seen. A ton of different specification logos are plastered along the bottom leading up to the ASUS logo on the right. On the back of the retail box another huge list of specs can be seen proclaiming all of the different features to be found on this board. The list is quite large. Opening the front flap of the box reveals the motherboard through a thick plastic covering. On the top of the flap, another huge assortment of features are displayed. Overall, I am quite excited to see how this board performs!
Opening the retail box and pulling out the contents reveals two typical ASUS-esqe black packing boxes found in almost every other quality ASUS product around. The boxes are of acceptable quality and do an excellent job compartmentalizing the package and keeping everything separate and protected. The top box holds the motherboard while the second box opens up with all the accessories and add-ons the board includes. There are a ton of included goodies to be had with the Rampage III Extreme, so I don't think anyone will need to pick up any additional adapters or cables to be up and running with this motherboard.
Okay, there is way too much to cover in one page, let's move on and take a closer look at everything that's included!

"Storm Runners" by Roland Smith. Chase leads a different kind of life than most kids his age.
"Storm Runners" by Roland Smith. Chase leads a different kind of life than most kids his age. His father is an M.D. (Master of Disaster). He moves to where natural disasters are and helps people clean up after them. Which means Chase doesn't stay at one school for long. This time they move to Florida, where Hurricane Emily is predicted to hit. Chase and two friends end up having to fight to save their lives and get home on their own. This is the first book in a series of adventure thrillers about kids using their knowledge and skills to tackle dangerous situations.
"Lincoln's Grave Robbers" by Steve Sheinkin. The action begins in 1875, as Secret Service agents raid the Fulton, Ill., workshop of master counterfeiter Ben Boyd. Soon after Boyd is hauled off to prison, members of his counterfeiting ring gather in the back room of a smoky Chicago saloon to discuss how to spring their ringleader. Their plan: Grab Lincoln's body from its Springfield tomb, stash it in the sand dunes near Lake Michigan and demand, as a ransom, the release of Ben Boyd — and $200,000 in cash. Readers get glimpses into the inner workings of counterfeiting, grave-robbing, detective work and the early days of the Secret Service. The plot moves toward a wild climax as robbers and lawmen converge at Lincoln's tomb on election night: Nov. 7, 1876.

has anyone used the Firewire surf construction (FST) boards for kitesurfing and what's the verdict?
I am looking for a low wind board for kitesurfing and found a good shape from Firewire, but how is the durability of the FST construction and would a layer of glass or two help on the deck help to increase the durability and avoid the breakage?
Although the board would be for low winds, I would use the board for strapless airs, rotations etc. so it will take some punishment although I am very tender on boards.
Another option is the kitesurf construction, but it would be good to know how heavy they are compared to FST models because I don't like boards over 3kgs.
Good wind and waves!

User:Pranav Rathi/Notebook/OT/2010/09/29/CrystaLaser Vs CompassLaser
From OpenWetWare
- Our new laser looks completely different (Is it good or bad I do not know) in the old objective, and it's been puzzling us for the last one week. So to search the answer of this question we replaced our beam expender lens system with old telescope; nothing changed. Next I removed the AOM and nothing changed. So the last thing left was the laser itself. So today I captured two movies: In first one we have crystalaser-telescope-old objective (mirrors in the middle) and in second we have compasslaser-telescope-old objective (mirrors in the middle). The difference is obvious; the trap with the new laser (1.9W) looks completely different. I just only see one bright spot at the center, as I go in and out of focus multiple reflections can be seen with diffraction pattern along x-axis of the video frame. I used the lower surface for the video. The trap with the old laser (1 W) looks as usual, 4 lobes can be seen clearly.I used somewhat the same beam expansion with 6-7mm beam diameter at the objective and 2-nd filter infront of the camera.Why the trap looks different (is it because of mode profile)? Which one is better (it looks like we were trapping the beads lot better with the new laser)? Is it possible that our old laser is multimode even at the low powers and because of that we see four lobes?
{{#widget:YouTube|id=1_aSVCKxNqk|crystalaser-telescope-old objective}} {{#widget:YouTube|id=UN-9p9xaaZs|compasslaser-telescope-old objective}}
- The next video is the trap with crystalaser-telescope-new objective. The outer periphery of the trap looks elliptical (Is it because of elliptical beam; I am going to investigate this issue today, I am planning to measure beam waist at two different points along z-direction, vertically and horizontally transverse to the z direction.) At the trap-center (when the focus is at the bottom surface of the cover slide) we see two reflections that is due to the water-glass interface between objective and lower surface of the cover slide (external reflection;) and glass-water interface between upper surface of cover slide and water around the specimen(internal reflection). Over all trap looks the way it should, because it is just a circular diffraction pattern made by a circular aperture (objective's lens): A bright spot (Airy disc) at the center with circular dark and bright rings around it (no four lobes)
- The last video is the trap with compasslaser-telescope-new objective. The outer periphery of the trap is somewhat circular with no problems. At the center we kind-off see the four lobes with no clarity because of two reflections overlapping. Everything else is the same as old objective.

Swiss steaks are tough cuts of beef slowly braised in tomatoes until they are fork tender and melt in your mouth. Round steaks are traditionally used or cube steaks; a round steak run through a tenderizing machine ("swissed") by the butcher. Here I used round steaks that I tenderized myself by piercing deeply all over with a fork.
Bell pepper, onion, garlic and Worcestershire sauce are also added to help season the thick and chunky sauce that is delicious served over rice, noodles and mashed or baked potatoes. If you like a lot of sauce double the tomatoes. Although simple, the sauce really needs nothing else but also serves as a blank canvas for seasonings like smoked paprika (Alton Brown's idea), hot peppers or Italian seasonings (mine).
Recipes like this were made for the crockpot! And vice versa. It's a magical invention. I'm making it a point to use mine more often in the hopes of inspiring you to do the same. You can also use a Dutch oven to slow roast them or cook stove top in a tightly covered pan on low heat for about 2 hours.
This is proof old-fashioned comfort food never goes out of style! My family loved it and gobbled up every last, tender, succulent bite.
Swiss steaks made by slow braising round steaks in tomatoes, peppers and onions until they are fork tender and melt in your mouth.
- Mix tomatoes, Worcestershire, peppers, onion, garlic and thyme together in crock pot and season well with salt and pepper. Season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper and prick with a fork all over about an inch apart. {An optional step is to dredge the steaks with flour and sear in a frying pan with a tablespoon or two of oil over medium-high heat on each side.} Add to crock pot. Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 7-8. Serve with cooked rice, potatoes, or pasta.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Follow the same directions above using a Dutch oven, roast about 2 hours until steak is tender and falling apart.

May 2, 2009
FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Bluffton University baseball team dropped a pair of contests at Franklin College on Saturday, May 2, after Friday's game was moved to Sunday due to rain that blanketed much of the Midwest. The Beavers fell to 12-24 overall and 6-15 in the Heartland Conference, while Franklin improved to 28-8 and 17-3 in the HCAC.
Franklin 7, Bluffton 4
Bluffton plated a run in the first and two more in the second to open a 3-1 lead after two innings. Nick Broyles (Toledo/Whitmer) led off the first with a double down the left field line and he moved to third on a Chris Bauman (Milford) ground ball. Cody McPherson (Northwood/Millbury Lake) picked up the RBI with his groundout to third base.
Corey Conn (London) followed Broyles' example with a leadoff double in the second and one out later, Mike Ramthun's (Springfield/Southeastern) two-bagger to left made it 2-1. Freshman Cory Stephens (Lima/Bath) knocked in Ramthun when he lifted a sacrifice fly to center following a Franklin passed ball.
The Grizzlies cut the deficit in half in the third, but Conn pushed the Bluffton lead back to two with his solo homer in the top of the fourth.
Franklin took advantage of three hits, an intentional walk, a wild pitch and a hit batter to score four runs in the bottom of the fifth and the home team tacked on an insurance run in the sixth to open the series with a 7-4 victory over the Beavers.
Broyles and Conn, who scored twice, both finished with two hits. James Hausman (Milford) took the loss after giving up five runs on six hits in four innings of work. He struck out three and did not walk a batter. Cody McPherson worked two innings of relief in the loss, allowing two runs with two strikeouts.
Franklin 12, Bluffton 5
Franklin jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in game two on the strength of a single and two home runs in the first three batters for the Grizzlies.
Bluffton responded with four runs in the top of the second for a 4-3 lead over the home team. With two outs and nobody on, Tyler Stephenson (Springfield/Northwestern) went yard to right field. Stephen Torres (Lima/Juan Diego) followed with a double and he came around on a Stephens base hit up the middle. Allen Slabaugh (Dalton) was hit by a pitch and Mike Ramthun made Franklin pay with a two-run double to left center.
A three-run third by the home team made it 6-4 and Franklin never looked back, scoring in four of the next five frames in opening up a comfortable 12-4 margin. Stephenson crossed the plate in the ninth on a Franklin pickoff play, but the Grizzlies completed the Saturday sweep with a 12-5 victory.
Stephenson, who crossed the plate twice, and Torres both connected for two safeties while Ramthun drove in a pair of runs in game two. Matt Perkins (Convoy/Crestview) fell to 2-4 on the season after allowing nine runs on 10 hits in 5.1 innings. He struck out two and walked three batters.
The Beavers wrap up the series and their season at Franklin on Sunday, May 3, 2009. The contest is slated for 12 p.m.

Major E. has been our faithful correspondent from Camp Victory in Baghdad. This month Major E. commenced serving stateside after serving in theater from January through September; he expects to return to Iraq in the next few months.
Earlier this week Major E. commented on the bombing of the Palestine Hotel in a message he headed "Bombs in Baghdad–Spectacularly ineffective." This morning he follows up on "Bombs in Baghdad" with "Troop trumps bomb":
ABC News deserves kudos for its television broadcast last night, where Army Sergeant Darrell Green was commended as the "Person of the Week." He is a soldier from the Third Infantry Division who was holding a security overwatch position at the Palestine Hotel the other day when the terrorists attacked with mulitple vehicle bombs–including a cement truck packed with explosives. As the smoke cleared from the first car bomb detonation, which caused a breach in the security wall, SGT Green saw a cement truck driving through the opening in the wall–heading directly toward the hotel.
Had the truck reached the hotel, there likely would have been significantly more destruction. The only thing that stopped the cement truck from reaching its target was SGT Green's decision and ability to engage the driver's compartment with automatic weapons fire. The video footage shows the comparment receiving Green's fire, then the truck stopping, then detonating — behavior that is congruent with the established terror tactic wherein attackers in vehicle bombs will detonate even if they are not at their target but know they cannot or will not get any closer.
As a result of the blast, there was significant damage, but far less than there would have been had the blast occurred at the base of the hotel, which could have possibly collapsed the structure. So the difference between the two starkly different outcomes came down to one humble family man from Orlando, Florida who engaged the cement truck.
Since a common enemy tactic is to follow a barrier breaching blast with another blast aimed at the actual target, the first blast probably caused SGT Green to know that another blast could be coming at any moment. But rather than run for cover, he exposed himself to the effect from a second blast he must have known was probably coming, thereby putting himself at risk to defend the hotel and the journalists staying there.
SGT Green's bravery and skill under fire embody the spirit of the American soldier. ABC deserves credit for bringing attention to this individual hero. I know that there are hundreds of similar stories demonstrating amazing bravery from our soldiers and marines, so I hope there are many more similar stories to come.
"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night knowing that there are rough men ready to do violence on their behalf." (George Orwell) Those who walked away from the Palestine Hotel after the attack and, in a larger sense, the American people who saw what happened on 9/11 and understood the threat we face as a nation, can thank SGT Darrell Green for being such a man.
Very Respectfully,
Major E.
