CDF prefect: contemplating Christ is answer to Reformation, post-Vatican II crises in the priesthood
October 31, 2013
Contemplating Jesus Christ the High Priest, crucified and risen, is the answer to various crises in the priesthood, Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller said in a short essay published in L'Osservatore Romano.
"Christ by his Resurrection has overcome the biggest crisis of faith that ever existed: the pre-Easter crisis of the disciples," said the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith as he commented on the publication of the twelfth volume of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's complete works.
"Fixing our eyes on the eyes of the High Priest, crucified and risen, we can overcome all difficulties and obstacles," he added.
Archbishop Müller said that he was referring particularly to the crisis in the doctrine of the priesthood that occurred during the Protestant Reformation, which sought to reduce the priest to a "mere representative of the community" and eliminate the "essential difference between the ordained priesthood and the common priesthood of all the faithful."
The prelate's remarks were published on October 31, commemorated by some Protestant communities as Reformation Day because it marks the anniversary of the posting of Martin Luther's 95 Theses in 1517.
Archbishop Müller also said he was also referring to "the existential and spiritual crisis that took place in the second half of the twentieth century and exploded after the Second Vatican Council, the consequences of which we still suffer today."
He concluded that "many associate" the Second Vatican Council with "the beginning of a transformation conforming to the spirit of the age" or "the beginning of a profound crisis in the Church and in particular the priesthood."

Novels in verse, but first, a poem taste.
April – Poetry Month continues. We can choose to read an anthology, a whole collection of poems. Sometimes the power of one poem fills our heart and causes us to pause, imagine, ponder. I would like to share the beginning of this poem by Arnold Adoff:
"… t r u e change is always too slow
and o u r b e s t hopes rest with
s t e a d y
beyond our own times
the t r u e revolutions h a p p e n
within the covers of our best books
inside the noises of words with words
inside the movements of reading eyes…."
From the online April site of Greg Pincus -www.gottabook.blogspot.com
Yes, one poem at a time, throughout the year, everyday, is a treasure to share with students, with family, with yourself.
We are familiar with the telling of story through ballads, either sung or recited. Another story form of poetry is the novel in verse. Novels in verse are an accessible way to look at emotional issues, such as WORDS WITH WINGS by Nikki Grimes described on ReaderKidZ earlier this month. Novels in verse can be funny or serious, or both. Described below are several of my favorites. Whatever your age, try a novel in verse. I think you will be surprised that after a page or two you will not even know your are reading poetry because you will be in the life of the children who people the pages.
First, a classic, a best, and one of the first: OUT OF THE DUST by Karen Hesse, awarded the Newbery as well as many other awards. Hesse's voice in this novel captures the rhythm and tone of Oklahoma dialect without getting in the way of the fast-paced story. What a lesson in US history as well as feeling the emotional grit required to survive the hardships of farming during the terrible dust bowl decade.Karen Hesse's second novel in verse, WITNESS, is an equally gripping but very different story.
A recent novel in verse, WHERE THE STEPS WERE, by Andrea Cheng is contemporary and told in alternate voices of five students in Miss D's third grade. A racist incident ignites strong reactions but students unite and work together with the guidance of their teacher. The fast, contemporary free verse makes this an excellent selection for readers' theater. Andrea Cheng's black-and-white woodcuts show additional images about the tough world in which these kids live. WHERE THE STEPS WERE reminds one of the verse-novel by Walter Dean Myers' HERE IN HARLEM: POEMS IN MANY VOICES though Myers' is for an older readership.
And more, more, more excellent novels in verse that are especially accessible to readers who like spare words and that extra white space on the pages:
Love That Dog by Sharon Creech
Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai (Newbery Honor; National Book Award)
Shark Girl and Formerly Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham
Birmingham, 1963 by Carole Boston Weatherford
Carver: A Life In Poems by Marilyn Nelson or for an older reader, Nelson's own "in-verse biography:" How I Discovered Poetry. (Nelson's work is in every way superlative. Read her poetry and be transported.)
Bronzeville Boys and Girls by Gwendolyn Brooks
Dream Keepers & other Poems by Langston Hughes

Smarter Mom: Money-Saving Tricks
The economy is on the upswing, but every single one of us could probably use a little bit more money in our pockets. Making small changes can add up to big savings, if you know where to look. Here are some strategies that work well for me:
Watch where you buy things: I recently noticed that the frozen lunches my husband likes to take to work are almost a full dollar more expensive at our local neighborhood grocery store than they are at the big chains. Sure, packing a sandwich or leftovers would be cheaper still, but I couldn't believe how much more pricey they were. Some people recommend keeping a "price book" of what things cost at different stores in your regular repertoire, but I think simply being kind of aware is just fine.
Get your Sunday paper: I don't just mean that as a recovering newspaper reporter! They have sale fliers and coupons; If you spend just a few minutes on Sunday going over them you can save big bucks. No need to be a crazy extreme couponer either...just scan the ads and if you see something you use and like on sale, such a a certain brand of shampoo, look for a coupon as well. Store websites will often have printable coupons or ones you can load onto your shopper card or even your smartphone. You can save a lot off the price of certain items if you can stack a store coupon, newspaper coupon and sale price.
Use loyalty cards. More and more retailers are launching loyalty programs that allow you to rack up points toward rewards certificates for every dollar you spend, get access to members-only deals, or get a stamp on your card for every visit. These are great for a few reasons: not only can you save money at stores you like to shop at, they will often send you special coupons just for being a loyal customer. I once got a coupon for free bacon from my grocery store for no reason!
What are your favorite simple strategies for saving money?
1) shop around or store brand
2) coupons stacked with sales
3) cutting out certain luxuries such as gym membership, satellite radio, premium cable channels, etc.
4) buying needs versus wants
Shop Smart.
I cringe whenever someone makes a blanket statement like "Shop in bulk, shop sales, use coupons!" Those ARE good ideas, some times. What you need to do is check what you're really paying. If the coupon is Buy 12 cans of pineapple get 2 free, Cool 2 free, but do you like pineapple? 14 cans worth of it? Probably not, bad coupon. Plus where will you put 14 cans of pineapple?
Buying in Bulk, sometimes a good idea. But check the price per pound,ounce, etc. Sometimes it's NOT a good deal, it's a bigger container and a big rip off.
Shop sales- but again, check those prices. "Fruit Snacks Buy One Get One Free" HOORAY!! but wait, is it? If the box you pay for is $3.99, it's a bad deal. You can get fruit snacks for $1.50 a box NOT on sale. The store here recently had that, then I went to another store where the same brand of fruit snacks were on sale $1.19 a box, And had a shelf coupon for $1 off 2 boxes, now THAT is a deal ($0.69 per box).
Smart shopping, it takes more time, but it's worth it.
Otherwise, don't buy things you don't need. Invest money in quality things so you're not replacing them as often. A $100 vacuum that needs replacing every 6months to a year and doesn't suck well, is NOT a good deal. A Dyson may seem expensive at $400 (usually less than that though), but it sucks like no one's business and they LAST (plus they have a 5 yr warranty-which you won't get with the cheapos). Things like that.
Turn off lights & TV's if you're not in the room with them. That saves on your electric bill. Keep lights off during the day in general, there's this magical ball of free light in the sky, it's called the sun, use it.
Keep up with your car's routine maintenance. Doing your oil changes when you're supposed to, and other routine things will save you thousands in the long run.
Stuff like that. I also like (though haven't started...) the $5 savings plan. Every time you find yourself with a $5 bill, save it. After awhile the $5's will build up quite a bit. This is probably better for someone that carries cash on a regular basis, which I don't.
Sooo much easier to go to mils house, and just open her fridge. :)
Honestly, I shop for convenience. It is more convenient for me to go to my local store, even if it is going to cost a bit more.
I always make sure I do a once (or twice) over of my fridge and pantry to try to plan as many meals as I can with the stuff I already have in stock.
I never buy coffee, mayonnaise or Crystal Light unless they are on sale for buy 1 get 1 free. They seem to go on sale at least every 4 to 6 weeks at Winn Dixie and Publix so I always get them then. I never run out and these are items we use a lot!
I use coupons, but my grocery has an online site, where I just click on the coupons, then in the store , when I pay, I just put in my phone number, and the coupons are applied, no clipping, carrying them in my purse, etc.
I do most things listed above, though not coupons. We also belong to BJs, which is a bulk discount club. We buy things in bulk that won't go bad, like paper goods or foods we can freeze. Makes a huge difference in our expenses.

Following widespread criticism of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat for his comment that women must restrict themselves to household work, the saffron outfit on Monday stated that he had been misquoted by the media.
Terming the reports in the media as attempts to deliberately bring a bad name to the nation and the organization in particular, RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav said, "Mohan Bhagwat ji never said what has been attributed to him. The RSS firmly believes that marriage is religious in nature. It is sacrosanct. We are not against women taking part in the uplift of the country."
Addressing a gathering in Indore, Bhagwat had reportedly stated that marriage is a social contract where the wife is supposed to look after household chores and the husband expected to earn.
He also said that marriage could be called off in case either violated this contract.
Bhagwat's second controversial statement came within days of his saying that rapes occurred in 'India' and not 'Bharat'

text: Hi, netters The article originally posted by Richard Converse dubbed "southern nightmare" seems to have created so much response that this deserves to become a FAQ. Now that we got a fresh FAQ list from Dr.Hengen, one can see it is not there. I have got several personal responses and sent mine, among them some very useful pieces of advice. Thank you everyboby. However, in my original post I wanted to stress that basically I have no problems with background on the membranes, that looks like "night sky" ( multiple spots of different sizes ). I only saw it couple of times, when I moved to a different lab and tried to adjust my habits to new conditions. I believe that the source of this problem is a particulate matter, that is capable of adsorbing DNA. The best possible candidate is fine carbon dust, certainly present in abundance in urban areas, and in laboratory rooms that are not cleaned from top to bottom on a regular basis. If you are in such an area, you may well need to filter everything, from hybridization solution to the probe, while in other places this problem does not exist. Also, it is conceivable, that certain brands of SDS may contain some carbon particles left over from the purification procedure. Best regards, Sasha

Blake Geoffrion scored his second goal in as many games and Pekka Rinne recorded his fifth shutout of the season as the Nashville Predators got a much-needed victory, 3-0 over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday in Vancouver.
"It feels great," Rinne said. "Obviously, it's been a little bit of a struggle for us lately. Vancouver is an outstanding team."
Rinne made 29 saves, including 12 in the third period, against the team with the NHL's best record. He faced at least 30 shots in each of the previous four shutouts.
It was the 19th time Rinne held an opponent scoreless and moved him within two of Tomas Vokoun's all-time franchise record.
For a time, it seemed every save was essential. The Predators, who had lost five of their previous six, did all of their scoring in the final period. Geoffrion broke the scoreless tie 1:59 after the second intermission and David Legwand capped the scoring with an empty-net goal with 35 seconds to play.
They now have scored three times in the third period of each of their last two victories.
Jordin Tootoo had the primary assist on Geoffrion's goal. It was the first point in six games since Tootoo returned from a personal leave for treatment in the league's substance abuse and behavioral program.
Geoffrion, who made his NHL debut less than a week ago, now has two goals in four games.
Patric Hornqvist made it 2-0 when he stripped the puck from former Nashville defenseman Dan Hamhuis and scored unassisted at 17:39. It was Hornvist's team-leading 18th goal of the season.
"I saw [Hamhuis] was the last guy," Hornqvist said. "He didn't see me coming so I tried to take it from him, and it worked."
It looks to me that the youth, especially Geoffrion, are playing well.
Not to take anything from Hornqvist but it was lapses like that that got Hamhuis traded. It is a relief to see Geoffrion come in and contribute right away. The pressure on management, Blake and his family to show that residency and name recognition were secondary to talent must have been tremendous.
I know it is way early but could Geoffrion be a Kane, Toews type of player.
You're right...it's way early.
Is Erat bad or what? Missed an empty net and then almosts ices the puck at the end. Luckily Legwand got there first and buried it, otherwise the face off would have been by Luongo. Brain dead play.

Back in January when I had the pleasure to attend the Medtronic Diabetes Advocate Forum, one of the focus areas was the Medtronic Customer Service and their StartRight program. During the presentation, I was very excited about how much effort was being put into the Medtronic customer service team. In the past, I have had some bad experiences with customer service. However, Medtronic was the first medical company that actually would allow an individual rep to email me directly, and for those that know me, email is my ONLY form of communication.
When I started back up on the pump trial a couple of weeks ago, I received a phone call, voicemail and email follow up from the StartRight team to make sure that I had all of my supplies delivered, I prepared for my training and to see if I had any additional questions or concerns. After the training occurred and I started on the pump, I received another follow up a few days later to see if there were any questions or concerns again about being on the pump or Enlite sensor.
I think that this is a great way to handle a new customer being on a product. First, making sure that they have everything they need to get started and then provided some follow up support after they have been using the product for a few days.
Obviously, I live on social media and when I have complaints or issues that I need taken care of, I use social media to attempt to communicate with a company. I actually prefer doing business with a company that will communicate via social or email instead of those that always just want to call and discuss things over the phone. Have I mentioned I hate being on the phone yet?
Medtronic has been doing an amazing job with their social media customer service. After the first few days of being on the sensor, I mentioned on Twitter that I didn't tape the sensor down properly, so I received a reply on Twitter asking if there were any specific questions that I had, and then was provided a link to the Medtronic support page that provided more details about the taping of the sensor….perfect.
Then, it got better the next day. I then had an email from Medtronic titled – Additional Tape Tips.
This is customization at its finest. Although this was a pre-formulated email, it was addressed to me and made it feel customized and unique to my situation and my issues (PR companies, take note!)

PARIS (Oct. 20)
Leaders of the American and French Jewish communities called here yesterday for the release of Soviet Jewish activist losif Begun who was sentenced by a Soviet court this week to seven years' imprisonment and five year's internal exile.
The appeal was made at a joint press conference held by Julius Berman, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and the leadership of the Representative Council of Major French Jewish Organizations (CRIF).
Observing that Begun's "crime" in the eyes of the Soviet authorities was his demand to be allowed to emigrate to Israel and the fact that he taught the Hebrew language, Berman said: "It is only fitting that the various Jewish communities should cooperate on an issue as essential as the situation of Soviet Jewry and the fate of the Jewish activists."
He stressed that the appeal on behalf of Begun "has nothing to do with East-West relations or tensions. It is based strictly on justice and humanitarian considerations."
Berman met yesterday with CRIF president Theo Klein to consider the possibilities of increased cooperation and coordination between the two representative Jewish organizations. He told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency later that he hopes to establish a good working relationship with CRIF.
He cited as an example, the need to consult with French Jewry and be briefed on their needs and views before American Jewish leaders meet with prominent French personalities visiting the U.S.
Berman, who is enroute to Israel, also met yesterday, in his capacity of president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, with representatives of the French Consistory, the Union's French counterpart.

With the beginning of Lent this week, some Christians will fast, give up pleasures, donate to charity or volunteer in their communities.
The Rev. Enoch Hendry offers another way to observe Jesus' 40-day withdrawal into the wilderness: Buy local.
Starting Tuesday, the United Methodist minister will lead two six-week courses that will challenge participants to "live locally in Lent."
That means the groups will strive to shop at locally owned businesses, seek out locally made products and eat locally produced food whenever possible.
The challenge serves as an alternative "Lenten discipline" to the traditional fasting or giving up of sweets practiced by some Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant devotees during the period of penance leading up to Easter.
The Lenten season began Wednesday.
"Living more simply would be a better way, I think, to understand Lent as this time of preparation than choosing something that's the easiest thing I can give up," said Hendry, pastor of Trinity Church.
But Hendry also expects the effort to be "a lot of fun."
Tailored shopping has benefits
Church member Carol Abercrombie is on board for the challenge.
"It's hard when you really think about it," said Abercrombie, an engineer with the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"I feel kind of guilty talking about it because, I'm as materialistic as anybody. But, I think it's a good idea."
Abercrombie has a bit of a head start.
She already buys local shrimp and eats the meat of deer hunted and killed by her husband.
And since her son began working on an organic farm in north Georgia, she's learned a little about that industry.
For the Living Locally challenge, she'll try to do more of her shopping on Broughton Street, she said.
But she's not yet sure where to go for food and groceries.
Matthew Roher plans to offer some suggestions.
As chef and owner of Cha Bella restaurant and Earth to Table Catering, Roher runs a delivery service that brings locally grown produce by the box-loads to the front doors of about 250 subscribers.
Roher buys mainly from four local organic farms, including his own two-acre farm in East Savannah, an organic garden at Bethesda Home for Boys, from Harvest Lake Farm on Hampton Island and from Walker Organic Farms in Sylvania.
"I think what people don't 100 percent grasp is the benefits of eating locally sourced food," Roher said.
"A lot of the produce we use is from heirloom seeds, basically the strain of vegetable that was used way back in the day. It hasn't been monkeyed with on a genetic level."
Buying from local farms contributes to better personal health, as well as the economic health of the community, he said.
Buy Local Savannah, an organization that promotes independent local businesses, claims that shopping in a local business district is better for the environment because it involves "less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint."
The group also asserts that local businesses create higher-paying jobs and reinvest more tax dollars locally than franchise companies do.
"What (Hendry) is doing is so cool," said Paula Kreissler, president of Buy Local Savannah.
"The fact that he's just very specifically saying, 'Let's keep this local,' it means he has a very clear understanding of the support his congregation can lend our community."
Hendry said he plans to do more shopping at locally owned grocery stores such as Polk's Fresh Market or Red and White Food Store.
But hopes participants in the "Living Locally in Lent" sessions bring other ideas.
Hendry said the intent isn't to boycott businesses that don't fit within the Living Locally concept.
No one will be scorned if they're spotted coming out of a Walmart.
"We're not going to get that specific with it," he said.
Participation in one of Trinity's two weekly sessions is open to the public, but space is limited.
Hendry hopes others seeking a way to observe Lent harvest his idea.
"The idea of living locally during Lent just seemed to make really good sense," he said.

Flood situation eases in Orissa
September 01, 2006 13:48 IST
The high-flood situation in the Mahanadi river system in Orissa did not cause as much damage as feared even though the rivers were flowing above their danger levels.
"I don't think the flood would be as devastating as was apprehended. Whatever volume of water had to pass through Mundali, a strategic discharge point of the Mahanadi, had flowed down to the lower end. We don't expect more water to come," Special Relief Commissioner Jagadananda Panda told PTI in Bhubaneswar on Friday.
"Though the next three hours are critical for Kendrapara and Jagatsinghpur districts, not much damage to life and property is apprehended," Panda said adding, that Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force was kept ready at different places to meet any eventuality.
The absence of high tide in the sea as also a 48-hour dry spell in the lower catchment of the river in the aftermath of very heavy falls greatly helped in the improvement of the situation, he said.
Though water level in different rivers were well over danger level, the administration expressed confidence that the water would recede as the day progressed.
Altogether, a population of 7.5 lakh from 170 villages across 10 districts had been affected by the fourth round of heavy rains that occurred in the state in the last two months, the SRC said.
"The intensity of flood damage was much less than we witnessed in 2003 in which 35 lakh people were affected in nine districts," Panda said.

So… since this week is a little light on content (although I'm sure we would all love Yellow II vol. 3) the team at Manga Village thought we would talk about our favorite new series from the first half of 2011.
The List:
Yellow II Volume 3 GN (Of 3)(resolicited), $6.95
The Picks:
Alex Hoffman: While there were certainly quit a few wonderful series that have come out so far this year, my two favorites are Blue Exorcist, and A Bride's Story. Blue Exorcist is my non-critical shonen fight-fest pick of the year, and with its excellent character design, smart setting, and wonderful illustration, make it the pick of the litter when it comes to recent shonen series. My favorite "serious" title is A Bride's Story, which is a fantastic hardcover manga published through Yen Press and written by Kaoru Mori, the author of Emma. Honorable mentions are A Zoo in Winter, another fabulous Jiro Tanniguchi book from Fanfare/Ponent Mon, and Wandering Son, which didn't make the time cut (it came out on July 5th, which was JUUUUUST outside the window for these picks) but it definitely makes my list for the next half of the year. Seriously, you should be reading both A Bride's Story and Wandering Son. They are fantastic.
Lori Henderson: I was surprised by a few new titles that have come out so far this year. I didn't think I would like Replica from Digital Manga Publishing based on the short preview I read in Otaku USA, but by the end of the first volume I was sold on it. I picked up Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex from Kodansha on a whim, and really enjoyed it. It's based on the anime, but this is an adaptation done right, so I'm definitely getting more. I've already pre-ordered volume 2!
Amy: My favorite new series from the first half of 2011 (it doesn't feel like 2011 is more than half-way over!) is Blue Exorcist! I flipping love this series and can't wait for the next volume to come out in the fall. Another series that I have my eye on this year is Ai Ore, after reading a preview chapter on VizManga.com it's moved to the top of my want list.
Connie: My choices so far this year have to be Toradora and A Bride's Story. Toradora was a surprise for me, since I usually dislike shounen romances, and this one was an adaptation of a novel to boot. But the characters are more interesting than usual, and the dynamic between them works surprisingly well for how many times I've seen the cliché (tough bossy girl who bosses the somewhat domestic boy around). The sense of humor was unusually good, too.
A Bride's Story was just very pretty on top of being an interesting read. The unique setting of central Asia 150+ years ago, the focus on the culture, and the art to bring everything to life is just about everything I need in this book. But the characters are beginning to get interesting too, and I'm very much looking forward to the second volume.
John Thomas: The manga is slightly more comprehensible than the beautiful and stylistic anime, which is why I choose Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex as my pick for the first half or 2011. Reissue? Yes. Good stuff? Absolutely. If this is new to you, consider this reissue a gift.

Ahh, azaleas! One of spring's botanical joys. So, why are we discussing them now, at the beginning of fall? For many people, spring inspires them to make changes in their gardens, like moving that overgrown or misplaced azalea to a more appropriate spot in the yard. It makes sense since that's the time of year when you can best see whether the flowers will clash with or compliment your surrounding landscape. Yet, spring is not the only time to transplant; there are advantages to making those big moves in the fall.
While you can transplant trees and shrubs any time of year, fall is considered the best time for optimal growth and survival with a few exceptions. Typically, nourishing rains and cooler temperatures return in the fall for most parts of the country. It is under these conditions that woody plants—in this case, azaleas—can develop deeper and stronger root systems over the course of the winter. This root growth gives your new or transplanted azalea a better chance for survival during hot, dry spells in the coming year.
Transplanting azaleas in the spring can still be done, but is not recommended after late April in the mid-Atlantic region (This is a general date as environmental conditions vary widely depending on which hardiness zone you live in. A good rule of thumb: when overall temperatures begin to climb into the low 80's F and the rainfall frequency starts to drop off, transplanting should be kept to a minimum unless adequate irrigation is applied. See below.)
To minimize transplant shock (wilting) while moving an azalea from one area of your garden to another, we suggest the following steps:
With a bit of extra care and attention, your azalea should become established in no time. If you're looking for just the right azalea for your garden, check out our azalea photo gallery. You can peruse hundreds of images, one of which is sure to be a perfect match for your landscape.

Baseball finally returns today as the Mets take on the Braves in Queens to start the 2012 season. Let's just jump right into what is going on today, rather than focus on the season as a whole, which is usually what today is for. For the Mets the major story line of the day is the return of Johan Santana who will be pitching in the majors for the first time since September 2010. Back in 2010, Santana pitched 199.0 innings with a record of 11-9 and a 2.98 ERA. In 2010 Johan faced the Braves 4 times totaling 26.0 innings of work with a 2-1 record and a 2.42 ERA. Fast forward to this past Spring, Johan pitched 18.1 innings with an ERA of 3.44. The Braves the following career numbers against Johan Santana:
Matt Diaz 16-32, 3 2B, HR (I forgot how much Diaz can hit off of Santana)
McCann 8-29, 2B, 3 HR
Prado 3-20, 2B
Uggla 1-19, HR, 10 K
Bourn 5-11
On the other side of the diamond, the Mets bats will be taking on Tommy Hanson. Hanson was 11-7 with a 3.60 ERA last season over 130.0 IP. He faced the Mets in two games last season where he pitched 8.1 innings and allowed 10 ER. However back in 2010, Hanson pitched 23.2 innings against the Mets over 4 games with a 2.32 ERA, so take those two lines for what they are worth. Anyway, the Mets have put up the following numbers on Tommy:
Wright 2-18, 2 2B (Yikes)
Thole 7-16, 2B, HR
Davis 2-10, 2B
Bay 3-9, HR
Duda 3-6, HR
Murphy 3-5, 2B
Let's Go Mets!

My jealousy is ruining our relationship
We often have visitors write in with solutions to each others' problems. Here is a visitor's solution to one of our visitor's questions.
Original Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
Ive been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 and a half years. I was fine with him talking to girls and everything until shortly after a year of dating when I found out he had lied to me a number of times. They weren't big lies to him but to me they were ( he lied about going to his ex's party who still liked him at the time and I found out by seeing photos of them huggin in the bath with a few other girls, lied about talking to another ex when he went clubbing and lied about talking to loads of girls at a party all of which I saw photos and confronted him about). Since hes lied to me I can't seem to trust him and I get really jealous if he goes out or anything. I know he wouldnt cheat but I cant help but wonder if he was drunk he might be tempted and hes lied to me before so he could lie about it again. Please help cause it's destroying both me and the relationship. Thank you.
User Submitted Advice from a 13-20 year old Female
Think with your BRAIN
i am going through almost the exact same thing. me and my "ex" (we dont even know) had been together for almost a year now and we broke up about a month ago. 4 days later he was at a party and some drunk girl kissed him and he kissed her back. he says that was all there is to it but i have no idea. there is a lot more to this for reasons why i shouldnt trust him and they are building up on me. i dont know what to do. i love him so much and he wants me back but the image of him with another girl keeps getting in the way and i just end up crying my self to sleep everynight. i wish he could understand me and how i feel. i asked him to not put himself in those kind of situations anymore or else i wouldnt take him back and he sai, "i.. dont know". not going to parties is a small price to pay for getting the girl you supposedly loved back after what you did. he doesnt understand that. and now when hes not with me i just have this overwhelming feeling of anxiety. what could he be doing? its unbarable and i dont know how to deal with it. one thing i know for sure that we MUST do is to think with your BRAIN and not your heart because if you think with your heart you're letting your emotions get in the way of what you should really do. dont underestimate situations because chances are that if you're stressing about them then there's probably a reason.
The Original Question and RomanceClass Answer


text: Dubai - World No 7 Juan Martin del Potro pounded India's Somdev Devvarman 6-4, 6-4 in the Dubai Championships second round on Wednesday, keeping the Argentine on course for a semi-final showdown with Novak Djokovic.Del Potro saved three break points in his opening two service games, but was otherwise largely untroubled in dispatching India's No 1."It's good, but I need to improve if I want to have a chance of winning this tournament," Del Potro said in a courtside interview."The former US Open champion was taken to a deciding set tie-break by Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in Tuesday's first round, saving three match points along the way, but the Argentine was steadier against Devvarman, sealing the first set with an ace.Roared on by a raucous Indian following in the stands, Devvarman provided more resistance in second before a long backhand sealed his fate.Del Potro, 24, lost a year of his career with a wrist problem in 2010 and he admitted the fear of aggravating the injury was causing him to change his playing style."Sometimes I get frustrated because I can't hit the ball like I want it," the Argentine told reporters. "I'm not going to put myself at risk again."He will now face Daniel Brands after the German qualifier stunned former Dubai finalist Mikhail Youzhny 6-4, 6-4.Earlier, third seed Tomas Berdych, 27, beat Germany's Tobias Kamke 7-5, 6-1 under a searing desert sun.The Czech toiled more than the score-line would suggest, squandering five set points in the first set against the world No 90 and saving 12 of 14 break points himself.The 2010 Wimbledon finalist eventually sealed the opening set as a flailing Kamke could only scuff a forehand into the net.The second set was more straightforward, but the world No 6 will have to be more ruthless if he is to add to his eight career singles titles, especially as Roger Federer potentially awaits in the semi-final."I was struggling a bit with the conditions," Berdych told reporters. "Maybe the court is not extremely fast, but once it's really hot in the sun it really makes the balls fly much more than I'm used to."Later on Wednesday, Federer will play Spain's Marcel Granollers, while Djokovic faces another Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.

I agree. And please add WiFi to it. I've been looking at WiFi cams lately, but after the article about some horribly insecure ones on Slashdot, I figured I want one that runs on open source... BTW, I wonder if you could have a really small camera module (basically a CCD chip+lens, i.e. your average webcam but saner form factor) that hooks up to GTA02 via USB and used both power and display from Neo?

Crested Caracara, the "curious falcon"
"The birds of prey peculiar to the South include kites, buteos, a falcon, and a curious falcon relative of vulturish appetites, the caracara…" — Peter Matthiessen, Wildlife in America.
It's been a little while since I've seen one of the crested caracaras at Myakka River State Park. This one was perched beside the roadway last Friday, just outside the park, eying a turtle that had been hit by a car.
For a few minutes, it would fly down to eat, and then back to its perch before vehicles neared.
Unfortunately, this tropical falcon is drawn to carrion, like vultures, and thus is often in danger of being hit by cars. Crested caracaras are scavengers, feeding mostly on carrion. They also take live prey and will hunt on foot, which is rare for a bird of prey.
There are only about 250 nesting pairs of the the crested caracara in Florida. The species that lives year-round and nests in the state is called the Audubon caracara. Both the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service list the caracara as threatened.

According to student leaders Rarus and Bourne, there are alternate routes to that kind of netherworld existence. Look around the college dining hall, they suggested, and you find that Gallaudet students, like students elsewhere, sit in regular clusters.
At other schools, that might distinguish the athletes or fraternities and sororities. At Gallaudet, territoriality is determined by the students`
secondary-school experience: Those who went to boarding schools for the deaf congregate in one corner of the dining hall; those who attended hometown high schools sit at other tables.

Kellogg's won't be too happy to hear about this study: it suggests that a diet rich in carbohydrates that boost blood sugar levels, such as cornflakes or white bread, may hamper the function of blood vessels, therefore raising your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Researchers from Israel's Chaim Sheba Medical Center and elsewhere evaluated 56 overweight or obese men and women, between 35 and 60. Other than their weight, they were healthy. None of them had diabetes or a history of cardiovascular disease.
They were fed foods that spanned the scale of the glycemic index, which relates to how a food affects your blood sugar levels. The higher the food is in the index, the more your blood sugar is spiked.
The high-glycemic meals, the authors concluded, appeared to impair the endothelial function, which is the layer of cells that line the inside of blood vessels. A decline in the function of the endothelial is a key variable in the development of hardening arteries and heart disease.
"Based on our study, we do urge consumers to have low-glycemic index carbohydrates instead of high-glycemic carbohydrates for better health and less potential hazards for the vascular endothelial function," said Dr. Michael Shechter, senior cardiologist at The Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

As previously reported TNA iMPACT on Thursdayt 7-30 each a 1,3 Nielsen Cable Rating On Spike TV delivering an average 1.8 million viewers
Quarter hour breakdown was:
Some may interpret the opening high rating as reflecting strength to the opening backstage vignette with the MEM then the in ring with the MEM, Lashley & Foley, but the fairly large drop-off into the second quarter hour that featured Samoa Joe vs Hernandez is more likely a result of folk turning from iMPACT during the first segment than rejection of the second segment. The larger rating would be acheived by the audience that started with the show staying for at least 5 minutes or so. By the time the segment ended a .17 drop had already occurred. The audience returned in the second half of the show, and satay fairly consistent.

There are many tax excuses, but some don't work. The IRS must be tired of hearing them, for this year some tax forms instruct taxpayers to await penalty notices before offering any excuses.
For many years, you were generally supposed to attach a "reasonable cause" explanation to a late return when you filed it. Now, no matter how late you are, the IRS says you should not attach an explanation when you file. Rather, you should wait to see if you get a penalty notice. If you do, you can offer your dog-ate-my-homework excuse then.
We're not talking about every tax form or every penalty. We're only talking about tax returns for partnerships and corporations. In both cases, there are penalities if you file late. The penalty is 5% of the net amount due for each month the return is late. The total penalty can't exceed 25%.
Starting with 2011 forms, the instructions tell you to offer your written explanation only if you receive a notice imposing late-filing or late-tax-payment penalties. Don't attach an explanation when the return is filed. The IRS will determine if you meet the reasonable cause criteria.
If you can show your lateness was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, no penalty. Reasonable cause means exercising ordinary business care and prudence but you were nevertheless unable to file the return within the prescribed time.
There's also penalty for failing to pay on time. There too, you won't be penalized if your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. A failure to pay is considered due to reasonable cause if you exercised ordinary business care and prudence in providing for payment of his tax liability and was nevertheless either unable to pay the tax or would suffer an undue hardship if he paid on the due date.
What about individuals? Don't worry, you can still offer your statements why you shouldn't be penalized when you are filing a personal income tax return (any of the Forms 1040).

07 Sep Recipe: Pear and Chocolate Tart
When you do nothing to your pear tree but leave it be, you can expect trouble. And trouble came to my friend in the form of dozens and dozens and dozens of bug-free, blemishless, picture perfect pears. Her punishment? Driving some over to me. That'll teach her.
I asked her what she likes to do with pears and she mentioned dipping them in chocolate. But that seemed too easy. Besides, I'm breaking out of my pastry-phobic rut and needed something to put in my pate sucree dough. So I made a pear and chocolate tart. A bit askew, but not bad given the swarm of fruit flies hounding me as I worked.
So, where's the chocolate? Underneath the slivered pears and cream custard, hiding quietly to surprise you.
I used a new-to-Canada product called Cacao Barry by Callebaut. I was given a sample at the Women's Culinary Network's Woman of the Year party for Elizabeth Baird and squirreled it away in a high cupboard awaiting a special occasion. Pears from my best friend and pastry made on my dearly departed Aunt Hilda's special board seemed the perfect excuse to break out this treat. The chocolate was dark, flavourful and melted beautifully. Best of all? It didn't require chopping.
See, without any intervention on my part it dissolved into a decadent layer just waiting to be discovered.
Unlike the sugary Pink Angel Squares with mile-high icing and gooey coconut filling, this dessert isn't very sweet. Instead, it's very rich. With eggs, yolks and cream, you won't need any sauces or even ice cream. Just a fork and maybe a secluded corner to sneak away to so no one will ask you to share.
Next time, I'm thinking I'll add a good handful of crystallized ginger to the custard. Got a favourite way to use up pears? Share a link. Share a photo. I'm on a roll and looking for more challenges.
- 1 (10½ or 11 inch) Pate Sucree tart shell
- 4 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I didn't chop the Cacao Barry chips, they melted just fine)
- 5 or 6 medium-sized dessert pears, preferably Anjou or Bartlett, ripe but still firm and unblemished
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp for sprinkling
- seeds of ½ vanilla bean* or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups heavy cream (36%)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prick the bottom of the chilled tart shell all over with a fork. Line the bottom of the tart with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill the liner with dried beans or pie weights and place the shell on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are just colouring and the bottom of the pastry is beginning to cook. Remove the foil and weights and return the shell to the oven for another 10 minutes or until lightly browned all over.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scatter the chopped chocolate evenly over the bottom of the cooled tart shell. Peel and halve the pears, then core them using a melon baller to scoop out just the round seed area. Place one pear half, cut-side down, on a cutting board. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, slice the pear into very thin slices across the axis (horizontally), keeping the shape intact (so even after it's sliced, it still looks like an intact pear half.) Gently press your hand down upon the curve, fanning the slices back towards the wide end of the pear, like dominoes. Slide a palette knife under the sliced pear half, keeping the fanned shape, and transfer to the tart shell, with the narrow end facing the centre. Repeat with the other halves until the tart shell is full. Don't worry about covering the whole surface; any space between the fanned pear halves will be filled with custard.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, ¾ cup sugar and the vanilla seeds. Add the cream and vanilla extract, if using, and whisk to combine. Pour the custard over the pears. (Depending on the size of your tart tin, there may be a little custard left over.) Sprinkle the surface of the tart with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and set the shell on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake the tart in the middle of the centre of the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce to heat to 375°F and continue baking until the custard is just set in the centre, about 40 to 50 minutes. Allow tart to cool completely before slicing. Serve the tart within 6 hours of baking and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

In almost every classroom there is that one kid that spends days staring off into space, daydreaming, and ignoring classwork. In the high school setting of My Neighbor Seki the person who does that more than anyone else is titular character Toshinari Seki. Every day Seki toils over his personal projects, usually giving them more effort than he does his studies. Whether making elaborate domino mazes or building his own desk-sized universes Seki never wastes a minute with education, instead he focuses on much more entertaining projects.
Penned by up-and-coming comedic cartoonist Takuma Morishige, My Neighbor Seki consistently finds new ways to entertain, while sticking to a simple formula and setting – high school.Whether Seki spends his school days delivering messages to classmates or playing Japanese chess, his actions are much more involved than they may seem at first glance. Easy to relate to and yet often surprisingly creative, through Seki Mr. Morishige is able to illustrate the curiosity and drive of youth while not having to resort to the gratuitous developing a story that embraces its limitations by pushing its limits with accessible visual humor.
So when readers need a pick me up or are in desperate search for something to entertain and inspire, Vertical Comics has their answer – My Neighbor Seki. Because within its 180 or so pages, there are at least a dozen awesome ways to find amusement and hilarity, all hidden from sight to most, in the back row.

Regional Reviews: Washington, D.C.
The Elephant Man
Also see Susan's review of Caroline, or Change
The 1979 play uses the story of Merrick as a lens to examine the nature of conformity and "monstrousness" in society, both in Victorian England and more recently. Jon Savage has designed an abstract set that ingeniously plays up the nature of illusion and surface images, comprised of numerous shining black layers and sliding panels that can reveal, reflect, or obscure depending on Charlie Morrison's tightly focused lighting design.
Merrick was hideously deformed from childhood, with an enormous head, discolored skin hanging in folds from various parts of his body, and a useless right arm and hand. After scraping out a living in freak shows, he was taken in by Dr. Frederick Treves (here played by Christopher Lane), who gave him dignity, a home in the London Hospital, and introductions to prominent members of society including the royal family. Pomerance's play largely follows the process through the eyes of Treves, a Victorian gentleman with circumscribed views on propriety and civilized behavior.
Unlike the 1980 movie, the play depicts Merrick through physical contortions rather than heavy, disfiguring makeup. Fortier's performance is visceral, both figuratively and literally; he internalizes the character in his every motion, every painful twist of his body, the way he forces the words out of the side of his mouth. The viewer can easily see the effort, but it isn't a stunt. It's the way Merrick was forced to live.
As a fashionable actress who becomes Merrick's friend, Leonard provides the heartbeat of the production. She ably depicts the many levels of Mrs. Kendal's life: the artifice on the top, the genuine feelings underneath, and eventually a kind of love for Merrick. The play suffers in the last few scenes, after she makes her last exit.
Treves was a man in his thirties when he first encountered Merrick, and Lane manages to capture the boyishness, as well as the gravitas, of a doctor stumbling onto something that will make his career. His journey begins when he believes his needs consistently coincide with those of Merrick, and ends when he realizes that is not necessarily true.
The rest of the seven-member cast has its moments, especially James Konicek as Merrick's former exploiter (manager) and as a bishop, and Barbara Pinolini as a seemingly unflappable nurse and the august Princess Alexandra.
An additional component of this production is the presence of oboist Martha Goldstein, performing incidental music from a corner of the set. The melancholy tone of the oboe matches the sense of the drama, and adds depth.

Celebrated for his youthful brilliance, Abelard had set up his own school of philosophy in Paris by the time he was twenty. In Paris he fell in love with Heloise, already well known in her teens for her learning in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. When she became pregnant, her uncle, who was her guardian, led a party of men who attacked and castrated Abelard.
The lovers lived out their lives as monk and nun in separate establishments, althugh Abelard did see Heloise as a spiritual advisor for some years. When he died, his remains were given into her care, and she was buried with him at her death.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Gov. Andrew Cuomo haven't exactly been warm and fuzzy with each other but here's something they both agree on, the use of on-line voter registration. Cuomo says he will allow it and Schneiderman agrees.
From the AG:
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today lauded Governor Cuomo's plan to allow online voter registration in New York State. Today's announcement comes in the wake of a decision by Pennsylvania officials to cancel plans to allow online voter registration and online absentee ballot application this year in that state.
"Governor Cuomo's announcement that New York State will allow online voter registration is a welcome development for all who share the goal of increasing voter participation. It was also a striking contrast to the decision from Pennsylvania that our neighboring state is abandoning a previously announced plan to let people register to vote or apply for absentee ballots online," said Attorney General Schneiderman. "In this election year, too many states are making it more difficult to vote when they should be making it easier. Over generations, Americans have torn down barriers to voting in order to make our democracy more inclusive, and our government more representative of all its citizens. My office will be vigilant in protecting the right to vote and aggressive in carrying on the American tradition of tearing down barriers to full voter participation."

American Canyoneers • Search and Rescue Team Fund Raiser
Coconino County, Arizona
Coconino County, with an area of 18,661 square miles, occupies a huge swath of Northern Arizona and encompasses many areas that attract outdoor enthusiasts from around the World. Popular areas include parts of Grand Canyon, the West Clear Creek Wilderness, West Fork of Oak Creek, the southern part of Lake Powell, Tonto National Forest, Coconino National Forest, and Kaibab National Forest. Hidden within these popular areas are hundreds of slot canyons including some of the finest in the World with names like Illusions, Antelope, MARD, West, Panameta, and Obsession. Behind these names are significant dangers that are only clear after you've made the irreversible decision to do that first downclimb or rappel.
Technical canyoneering has been enjoying substantial growth in the last 10 years resulting in a dramatic increase in technical rescues. These rescues require enormous resources to save lives. Most of the Search And Rescue (SAR) teams are staffed by volunteers who risk their lives to save us. The Coconino County Sherriff's SAR team is one example. They depend on ever scarcer Federal and State funds for equipment and training.
Recognizing our dependence on these precious SAR services, American Canyoneers has launched a fund raising campaign to help the team help us. These funds will be used for the purchase of critical equipment and training for team members.
How can you help? Easy! Come watch a few great films about canyoneering! Along the way you'll see a presentation by the SAR team about the rescue in Insomnia Canyon, certainly one of the most difficult slot canyon rescues ever. You'll be stunned at the effort the team had to put into saving one life. Join us in Flagstaff on September 17th at the Orpheum Theater or in Tempe on September 18th at the Pollack Tempe Cinemas.
Have fun, celebrate our favorite pastime, learn how you can avoid being the next victim, and support our SAR team

Program Details
Down The Line
A handful of dedicated Vancouverites are bringing a new sport to their local mountains, a sport that has always been linked exclusively to Utah and the Alps: Canyoneering. Against all expectations, the surroundings of Vancouver are an amazing playground for canyoneers, and one thing sets the region apart from all others: none of these canyons have ever been explored. Nobody even knows where they are.
We are following Damien and Lucia in their quest for "first descent" canyons in the mountains of Squamish, in a cinematic journey down deep slots and magnificent waterfalls. Their love for exploration is dangerous and incredibly committing. Once in a canyon, the only way out is down.

Last of the Great Unkown
The Grand Canyon is an immense place, almost unfathomable in scale, and one of the last places in the American West to be explored. John Wesley Powell called it the "Great Unknown," having no idea what rapids, falls, or canyons awaited him on his first descent of the river in 1869. In the decades since, the Canyon has been a playground for dozens of explorers. River runners, backpackers, routefinders, lithic hunters, and peakbaggers have all laid claim to the Canyon's iconic landmarks, often seeking out the prestigious "firsts." While many significant points of interest were being explored, there was one feature that was left almost entirely ignored: the Canyon's innumerable technical slots.
Deep within this vast wilderness are secret and intimate tributaries rarely visited by man, hiding some of the Canyon's most remarkable features. The barrier to entry is steep. To explore them, one must have a knowledge of backpacking, packrafting, rappeling, anchor building, and off-trail navigation. The Last of the Great Unknown is the story of these slots, the canyoneers who systematically explored their drainages, and the secrets hidden deep within their walls.

Rescue in Insomnia Canyon
Discovered in 2005 by canyoneering pioneer Joe DeSalme, Insomnia Canyon quickly halted Joe's initial probe with foreboding and difficult challenges. Realizing he needed more gear and a bigger team, he returned two more times with his wife Sara and Todd Martin to fix ropes and probe further. Finally, on the fourth attempt, with a 400' rope in tow for a huge drop, they succeed in doing the first descent. Sleepless with worry over the whether the rope would reach, Joe named the canyon "Insomnia."
With particularly dangerous technical obstacles, Insomnia was kept secret and was only done occasionally by a few very experienced Canyoneers. Eventually it leaked onto the web and traffic in the slot increased. On August 13, 2011 first responders were called to respond to an accident in the West Fork of Oak Creek. Unaware that slot canyons existed in the vicinity, a harrowing race against time began to find and save a canyoneer who fell during the 330' rappel from Insomnia Canyon.

Okay, so please review. I would love you for forever... :D
"Alice, he broke another one!" Bella complained. I was happy I wasn't partaking in this event. Jasper was on the drums – he was exceptionally good, and he refused to play a guitar – Rosalie on guitar, and Bella on bass. Emmett had the microphone. And my family was playing Rock Band. They were on their ninth consecutive hour.
Emmett had broken five microphones so far. He hit the top too hard whenever he was instructed to do so. He just got too involved in the songs. Especially "Inside The Fire" by Disturbed.
"I didn't mean to. They really should make these things more durable," he said, throwing the broken one and picking up another one and plugging it in. I had no patience for this game, but if Bella liked it, I would survive.
"Emmett, they don't intend for vampires to play this. Just take it easy for now," Bella said. She and Emmett had been bickering about the delay of the game due to his breaking all the microphones.
While they had had this little conversation, Jasper had chosen "Juke Box Hero," by Foreigner, and had already chosen his expert level. He was and Rose were now waiting for everyone else. As usual.
"This one again?" Bella asked. She had already beaten the hard level on the bass, and refused to move on to expert. I couldn't even convince her that she would do wonderfully on expert. And, being Bella, when she said she wouldn't do something, she stuck to that.
Nine hours of this. Nine. I had heard every song. Some they butchered just for their own entertainment, and I had to remind them that this game was in existence so they could beat it for their entertainment, but they enjoyed butchering the songs better. I looked at the clock. It was three in the morning. That made ten hours. And Bella was neither bored nor tired. No one – not like anyone except myself was trying – could get her to go to bed. Not even Esme, though she tried, at my constant begging. They finished the song, and I went over to Bella, who had missed half the notes. She usually did much better.
"Bella, dear, you should get some sleep. You can always continue this tomorrow. It won't go away," I said, trying once more to get her to sleep. She flipped through the songs, looking for one she wanted to play.
"Edward, I am fine," she said, following the statement with a yawn. I rolled my eyes, and removed the guitar from her shoulder, took her up in my arms, and carried her upstairs.
"Carlisle, you wanna play bass?" Emmett called out. Alice and I weren't allowed to play, because we would have 'an unfair advantage.' She was on the couch sitting next to Jasper, and I was taking Bella to my room, obviously. I walked past Carlisle on the stairs, and we only nodded in greeting. Bella was half asleep, and very unaware of her surroundings. I got to my room and laid her on the bed. I crawled in after her, tracing her arm with my hand. A small smile played on her lips.
"Edward," she said sleepily. She was already asleep. And she said she wasn't tired. I chuckled lightly. I heard a soft tap on the door.
"Come in Alice," I said, not taking my eyes off Bella. Alice was on the bed almost instantly, looking at Bella as well.
"Have you ever heard Carlisle on bass?" she asked lowly. I had to stop myself from laughing.
"Yes, I have. I block it out almost every time. One would think that he would be very good," I replied. I looked at Alice, who returned the look. "But that's not why you're here," I said. I was trying not to read her thoughts, but a few things leaked through.
"It's nothing bad. I just wanted to talk. Jasper's too involved in the drums to listen to me, apparently," she said, more loudly so he could hear. He wouldn't stop playing, but he knew he would get a good chewing out from Alice later. The things he was willing to put up with…
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked her, my hand resting just below Bella's elbow.
"How do you do it?" she asked. Ever so tactful.
"I just can't bear the thought of hurting her. It would be horrible, I don't think I could do it even if it would help her," I replied. I didn't know what else to say. I wouldn't be able to live, that much had already been proven.
"That's it?" she asked. I don't know how many times we had had this conversation, but it had been quite a few times. I nodded my head slowly. "Well, that's interesting," she mumbled to herself.
My gaze had returned to Bella. I noticed how her hair seemed to frame her face, how her eyes were closed easily, no force behind it, how her mouth was only parted slightly, the even rising and falling of her chest as she inhaled and exhaled. I savored how her hand rested on my chest lightly, almost as if it weren't there, how her leg draped over mine.
I heard Alice leave quietly. She must have seen that she could have talked for hours and I wouldn't have heard a single word. That's how it was when I watched Bella sleep. Her skin glowed lightly in the light of the moon, and her involuntary mutterings were the closest thing I had to reading her mind. Mostly she just said my name over and over. I didn't have an ego, but I loved it when she said my name. The love and adoration in her voice was unmistakable. Whenever she made the slightest movement, her hair would move with her face, never taking the perfect frame away.
My hand drifted to the one she had rested on my chest, and curled around it. I brought it up to my lips and kissed it softly. I started at her finger tips, and kissed up to her wrist, continuing to the underside of her forearm, lingering on the crease at the elbow. Her skin was so warm and soft. I continued to kiss my way up her arm, and stopped at her neck.
I moved to her forehead, and I lightly kissed both of her eyes, the tip of her nose, each of her cheeks… She was intoxicating. What a pair; intoxicating and dazzling. How did we both survive?
Her hand was resting on my chest again, her fingers clenching into a fist occasionally.
"But what if you don't come back?" she asked, sleepily. She sounded frightened, and worried.
"I'll always come back, Bella," I whispered. I kissed her forehead and continued watching her sleep.
Sickly sweet ending... I think. I'm not a Bella/Edward fan, obviously, but someone seems to think I write them very well. But she loves all my writing, and I love her for it! She's amazing. And gives a good conversation at like, midnight. :D Anyway, review, because you know you want to.
Oh, and yes, today I played Rock Band for six hours straight, I sung the entire time.. Twas fun, twas fun.

Last week while I was in San Francisco for Google I/O and the MashMeet SF After Party, I shot a short little "day in the life" documentary of Pete.
I shot the video with the same set-up I used at the Olympics, my 5DMKII, the RØDE VideoMic, and a Litepanels Micro LED light. The neck strap I'm using is the BlackRapids Rs-5 (perfect for storing my iPhone and extra memory cards).
I shot most of the party shots at 6400 ISO and used the LED to light people's faces when they were talking. Next time I'm going to put a CTO (orange) gel on the LED to give people a nice tan, instead of the ghostly whites. Cuz let's face it, us tech peeps need all the tan we can get. :P

I used the 16-35mm f/2.8 lens that I rented from Lens Rentals Canada, an awesome new online rental site. I ordered it online and the lens arrived within 2 days. I highly recommend it for trying out pro gear before you buy or just to experiment with L-lenses as they are soooo sexy.

***Warning, some spoilers ahead***
Could one of television's most popular series – which just happens to be filmed in Georgia – be getting ready to kill off another one of its original characters?
Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes on AMC's "The Walking Dead," recently tweeted he has been accepted at Auburn University, prompting massive social media speculation about his character's future:
ayy i just got accepted into auburn— chandler riggs (@chandlerriggs) November 7, 2016
Riggs' father also posted an item on Facebook regarding the fact his son recently completed his seven-year contract with AMC:
Since its premiere in 2010, "The Walking Dead" has consistently been one of TV's top-rated shows, and has since become a cultural phenomenon. The show is filmed in Senoia, and has helped Georgia solidify its place as a film and entertainment powerhouse that generated more than $7 billion for the state's economy in 2016.
Season six's finale saw the introduction of Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was seen bludgeoning one of the series' characters to death with his barbed wire-covered bat. After months of massive social media speculation, season seven's premiere revealed the victims to be Abraham (played by Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn (Steven Yuen).
Yuen, like Riggs, has been with the series since season one.
