Richard Feinberg, Department of Anthropology, authored "Multiple Models of Space and Movement on Taumako, A Polynesian Island in the Southeastern Solomons," in Ethos, Journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology, Edward Lowe; guest editors, Richard Feinberg and Alexander Mawyer, Vol. 42, Issue 3, (2014): 302-331.
Summary: This article explores multiple models of space, spatial cognition, and its relationship both to social structure and individual experience on the Polynesian islande of Taumako in the southeastern Solomon Islands.
Web link: www.anthrosource.net/Articles.aspx?issn=0091-2131&volume=42&issue=3&doubleissueno=0&suppno=0&jstor=False&cyear=2014
Abstract: People of Taumako, a Polynesian community in the Solomon Islands, employ a variety of spatial models, some binary and linear, others concentric or radial. The existence of multiple models means that individuals, as they confront the challenges of daily life, must choose among alternatives and draw upon whichever ones appear most helpful at the moment. But utility depends on judgment, memory and the selective focus of attention. Consequently, spatial understandings differ from person to person and, sometimes, in the same person from one occasion to another, highlighting the complex expression of spatial cultures in everyday contexts. As is true elsewhere, social and spatial cognition, to a degree, are intertwined. Perhaps owing to a relatively egalitarian political and social structure, however, the connection between spatial symbolism and social structure on Taumako seems attenuated. Moreover, "radiality" assumes a multiplicity of shapes and does not represent social hierarchy among the Taumako, as it does in such hierarchically ordered societies as Samoa.
Kiersten F. Latham, Ph.D., School of Library and Information Science, authored "Experiencing Documents," in the Journal of Documentation, Vol. 70, Issue 4, (2014): 544-561.
Summary: This paper invites further consideration of how people experience documents, and opens further avenues of information behavior studies about people and documents.

The Apache Netters began the season on the road with a loss to River Oaks and ended the season on the road with a win over Prairie View.
The 4-3 victory marked the second dual match win in their season of six matches.
"I have noticed much progress by several players; I believe the future of the program lies in the development of nine of the eleven team members," Glenbrook coach Wayne Orr said. "There will be two seniors next year who will provide leadership and stability, but the present group of younger players will be formidable opponents."
"My frustration with their play is evident at times; I must realize that their one or two years of experience does not equal my fifty years of tennis competition. However, their game vision is improving."
Girls' Singles - Amelia Christy's record of 5-2 at the No. 1 position has been a journey that included seasoned players and some not-so-experienced ones.
Lexie Martin, the No. 2, evened her record at 3-3. Both of these players have earned valuable experience. Christy defeated Sara Aammorosans 8-0 in a pro set; Maritn defeated Taylor Watson 6-0, 6-0.
"Points from our three singles' players and one point from our boys' doubles team gave us the season-ending victory." stated Orr.
Boys' Singles - Noah Woodard, playing the No. 1 position as well as singles, evened his record at 3-3 with an 8-1 pro set win over Chandler Freeland.
"The strategy and the mind-set of a singles' player is continuing to be a work in progress. His athletic ability and improved consistency in his ground strokes have made him a worthy opponent," added Orr.
Boys' Doubles - The team of Graham Lemoine and Parker Christy defeated Basey Wall and Tryston Shanks 6-1, 6-2.
"The vicissitude of their 'game' is reflect in their season record of 2-4. They have been forced to compete against much older and much more experienced teams as our No. 1 duo," commented Orr.
Girls' Doubles - "Our teams have struggled, have made strides of improvement, have been intimidated, but have continued to do battle," Orr said.
At No. 1 the team of Eleanor Gilbert and Madison Lemoine were defeated 6-3, 6-4 by Victoria Simmons and Leslie Spires. At the No. 2 position the duo of Bridget Cone and Abigail Gilbert were defeated 6-4, 7-6 by Taylor Gentry and Tierra Porter.
"This match was closely contested; we could not hold serve at several key times during the set as well as in the tie break. These girls are the most improved players; their desire to better their tennis strategy is evident," noted Orr.
Mixed Doubles - Quinton Martin and Catherine Willis were defeated by Molly Gregory and Hunter Binns 6-1, 6-3.
"Quinton has taken on a role that has been an experiment in learning after having been one half of the No. 1 boys' doubles. Catherine is a first-year member, but the two have attempted to combine the pluses of their games, leading to a few wins. Quinton and Noah will be expected to exhibit their senior leadership next season," express Orr.

Good Questions: To Dine or Not to Dine in the Entry?
Hi AT,
My rented apartment has its dining area (with a "over the table" hanging lamp) as soon as you enter the apartment. I don't know what kind of dining table/chairs I should buy so as not to clutter the entry. I have been thinking if I should keep the dining table someplace else.
Your suggestions would be a great help!
Email questions & pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to: sf(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com
Link To All Good Questions
Hi mn,
We have two ideas, and both involve recasting the placement of that light fixture as entry lighting rather than "over the table." Once you take that leap of faith many more possibilities open up.
Option 1 is to create a small dining area to the left of the door, in front of (but not too close to) the closet. We'd suggest a drop table, either the wall-mounted kind or a slim drop-leaf. A round top is ideal because when not in use it won't jut corners out into your precious open space. Stow extra chairs in the closet or artfully hang them on the wall. Here are a few table options:
• Ikea's Laurila Round Gateleg Drop-Leaf Table
• Gothic Cabinet's Round Drop-Leaf Table
• eBay
Option 2 is to forego an exclusive-use dining area entirely and look for a coffee table that turns into a dining room table when you need one. AT:NY has lots of info on this topic here, here, and here, and we've dealt with the expandable coffee table concept here and here on AT:SF as well.
Other ideas for mn?
6 Comments
This dining set option from IKEA has a relatively smaller footprint when the chairs are tucked under the table. I've seen it in person; and think it's very cute, but on the small-ish side.
Another option would be to place a 45"-48" round table under the light, dress it as an entryway table. And keep either stacking or folding chairs in the closet when not using it for dining. Crate & Barrel has 2 options under $400 as part of their new ready-to-assemble line.
Xiaoping Design used to have something called a "Moon" table. It was really two half-tables. Would be perfect for this space.
a few months ago, Domino Magazine had a really good answer to this exact question.
Get 2 demilune (spelling?) tables that, when pushed together, create a round table and use them as side board, landing strips for the 97% of the time that your entry room is an entry room and then for the rare times that one needs a formal dining room now adays, push them together.
They had a lovely red chinese style set, but i am pretty sure that even Ikea sells something like this.
my first thought was to do a dramatic round table that could be used as an entry table and you could have simple chairs along the wall to bring around the table when you were ready to dine. when the chairs are along the wall, the table would be a great place for a floral arrangement or a sculpture to really make an impact for guests coming in the door.
We live in a complex of townhouses that all have exactly the same layout with a dining area in the entrance/hallway. In two of the places I've seen, people have put glass-top dining tables in their hallway. Usually I am not a fan of glass tables AT ALL but have to say that they work extremely well in this situation. Because they're not 'solid' they don't bulk up the entrance area. So you can get away with having a relatively big table that still doesn't clutter up the place.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your wonderful suggestions. After a lot of deliberatioon, I decided to get the Ikea Laurila Gateleg table that Lisa had suggested. It can fold up to look just like one of the demilune tables and I have kept it against the wall to the left of the entry door. Even when it's open, it does n't look very big in that space.
I also bought the wooden folding chairs from Ikea which can easily be stowed away when not in use. I think it works, but I will see how it looks when I furnish the entire apartment! :)

Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Generally, nifedipine is avoided in children.
Nifedipine decreases the elimination of digoxin (Lanoxin) by the kidneys which can increase digoxin blood levels in the blood and give rise to digoxin toxicity. It is important, therefore, to monitor blood levels of digoxin in order to avoid toxicity.
Nifedipine interferes with the breakdown of tacrolimus (Prograf) by the liver, which in turn causes elevated blood levels of tacrolimus and may increase the risk of toxicity from tacrolimus.
Nifedipine reduces the blood levels of quinidine (Quinaglute, Quinidex, Quinora) which may reduce the effectiveness of quinidine. Conversely, blood levels of nifedipine are increased by quinidine and may lead to side effects from nifedipine.
Cimetidine (Tagamet) interferes with breakdown by the liver of nifedipine and increases nifedipine blood levels. Therefore, cautious dosing is necessary when both medications are administered concurrently.
Nifedipine should not be taken with grapefruit juice since grapefruit juice (one glass, approximately 200 ml) inhibits the breakdown of nifedipine by the liver and increases the levels of nifedipine in the blood.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of nifedipine in pregnant women, and in general, it is avoided during pregnancy.
NURSING MOTHERS: Nifedipine is excreted in human breast milk. Generally, nifedipine is avoided in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of nifedipine are generally mild, and reversible. Most side effects are expected consequences of the dilation of the arteries. The most common side effects include headache, dizziness, flushing, and edema (swelling) of the lower extremities. Less common side effects include dizziness, nausea and constipation.

Essay about women's
emancipation from M. Niaré
If you don't like
something, change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't complain.
~ Maya Angelou ~
But how has the emancipation movement
changed that she can claim such a thoughtless thing today? In my opinion, there are three different
classification areas of the emancipation of women. This is important to say
because the division of the three areas influenced the development of women's
The first classification area is the woman in the society. In the
second are the woman and her profession. The constitution says that women and men
have to be equal. I think for this it is important to
say that the girls have already surpassed the men in the education.
The last
classification area is the woman and the family. By now the legal equality of women
and men in marriage has been fixed in several law steps. A hundred years ago
the women dreamed of this.
I write about the development of women emancipation
until the 12th and 13th century until now to come closer
to the history and for the understanding. There were three different
emancipation movements which are significant and still on our mind. The first
was between the 12th and 13th ce.....[read full text]
But it is much more serious in the eastern
part of the world: Asia. There exist great prejudices in large portions of Asia
opposite little girls today certainly, too. Abortion of female fetuses and the
neglect of female babies are the result of it. Asian women suffer excessively
from the cruel business with sex, the woman trade, a modern manner of the
Deeply rooted views restricted the life of a woman to having a baby
and other female duties. Large portions of the female oppression nevertheless
cannot be explained by poverty but by general principles: Values, convictions,
habits and traditions which are passed on by generation to generation and
stress is given by persuasion, group pressure and force.

On occasion I have written on topics that seem to scandalize readers, or certainly cause difficulty for many. Some of those topics have been articles on the wrath of God; the radical forgiveness of everyone for everything; the commonality of our life and our salvation; and various posts on giving thanks always for all things (there are others as well). I am not intentionally contrarian – I do not write in order to create any sensation (sort of). But I have a heart-felt instinct about the path of salvation and the part played by skandalon (a cause of stumbling).
Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame (Romans 9:33).
There is something about the Kingdom of God that causes us to stumble. The Kingdom is marked by scandal. Such a stumbling is inherent in the contradiction of the Kingdom. Christ's Kingdom is "not of this world." As such, this world stumbles as it comes in contact with the Kingdom.
I believe that the first and great skandalon is Pascha itself: Christ's death on the Cross, His descent into Hades, and His resurrection. Indeed St. Paul describes Christ crucified as a skandalon (1 Cor. 1:23). What haunts my thoughts, however, is the rather tame shape taken by the Cross and resurrection in the mind of most Christians. Why are these things not a stumbling block for so many? Why do we so easily track our way through Christian doctrine, finding our own moral failings to be the only "stumbling" within our life? The taming of the Christian faith makes it harmless and without offense. I suspect that this phenomenon marks the conversion of Christianity into a religion – a pious activity that saves none.
Pascha runs utterly contrary to this world: from death comes Life. But this "principle" of Pascha is manifest in many other ways: we lose so that we might gain; we forgive that we might be forgiven; we love those who hate us; we give thanks where no thanks would be expected, etc. All of these actions make sense only in the light of Pascha. They are no less radical, no less scandalous.
It is this "contrarian" nature of Pascha that forms its skandalon. The "Jews" would not have found Christ's crucifixion to be a stumbling-block (St. Paul's description), nor the Greeks found his crucifixion to be "foolishness," were they not contrary to all that these great cultural stalwarts expected. Pascha is not the work of man, but of God. It is the work that undoes death, hell, hatred and greed. "Let us forgive all by the resurrection" (Pascha hymn).
By the same token, the way of the Cross is the way of Pascha, the way of "contradiction" so far as the wisdom and rationality of this world are concerned. The Cross is the rationality of the Kingdom of God.
Without this contrary element, this skandalon, Christianity may be noble or kind, but it falls short of the kingdom. Our faith must not only be about doctrines concerning Christ and what He has done for us (which can easily be reduced to mere religion): our faith must be a way of living that is itself a manifestation of the Cross and resurrection of Christ – a contradiction to the world and an affirmation of the Kingdom of God.
Thus it is that I find myself drawn to those practical instances in which the Kingdom transports us into this "way of contradiction." The radical demand that we "forgive everyone for everything" is a manifestation of Pascha, a contradiction of the way of retaliation, a proclamation that something has occurred that destroys all such debts. The same is true in the commandment to love those who hate us – nothing could be more contradictory to that which seems reasonable – but it bears witness to the "reason" of Pascha. To give thanks for all things, will take us to a place of contradiction, a place where the goodness of God is utterly triumphant, despite the deep tragedies that confront our lives.
All such gospel actions bring the skandalon of the Kingdom into true focus within our lives. They are invariably the signs that accompany the saints and the invitation to every believer to embrace the Cross and become a witness of the Kingdom.
No idea, no doctrine, no words can replace such actions – united as they are with the actions of Christ and God's holy Pascha.
There is another rationality of our faith – but it is largely expressed in ideas and words. It's struggle is to believe one thing and not another. But as such, it reduces our faith to simply one belief system among a world of competing belief systems. The Pascha of Christ is the end of all belief systems. With His crucifixion all human efforts to explain or understand are brought to an end. Indeed, Christ's Pascha is the end of all things. To walk into Christ's Pascha, is to walk into the great skandalon, the contradiction of religion and the negation of the reason of this world.
I cannot do more than to suggest such points within the gospel and then struggle to walk in them. The contradiction which we find within such points, I believe, is the very call of the gospel – that which caused Apostles to hesitate. But these very points are the points of salvation. They are the gospel birthed yet again into the world.

Christ has not only covered my debts toward others, but, also, their debts toward me. No one owes me anything.
….a continuation of my last post
I am free to love.
I am deeply grateful to God that you have posted this.
Why do we find little scandal in the cross and resurrection? Because, by way of Western theology, particularly the soteriology of Anselm, we have turned the execution of God-in-the-flesh into its opposite. Instead of seeing in it – together with His Glorious resurrection – the triumph of the God who is radical Love over the enemies of humanity – sin, death, Satan, and yes, over those structures of the old order put in place as damage control in order to keep humanity from destroying itself, structures such as patriarchy and ethnic and economic differentiation and oppression, as well as Torah itself, we view it as, in fact, the reinforcement of those very structures as being, not a provisional Divine response to human sinfulness, but as part and parcel of creation itself. This is the cross as "propitiation" not as "expiation".
Father, bless!
I greatly appreciate your post and apologize for not commenting on it. I'm writing out of curiosity (the good sort, I hope): from where is this image? I have the same question about the one in the previous post.
It's an interesting thing, the scandalon. Everything about our faith is one, more or less. I wonder if we may think of even the outer expression of Orthodoxy and Church life through art and architecture as such, considering of course that the shock produced is milder and of a different nature. But I remember several different testimonies of how people were made aware of Orthodoxy by entering a church (Hagia Sophia or just a modest church or chapel) and/or attending liturgy or vespers.
Thank you. They are images that I've found out on the net. The image with this article is of a chapel at a hermitage on Mt. Athos (the chapel is in a cave). The previous image is from a monastery that I cannot now remember. I love "traveling" through the myriad of photos that are available today. It's not the same as being there, but simply to look at some of these things is such a witness. It is as you say, a visual version of the skandalon – the shock of heaven on earth – even in a cave…
Thank you so much for this! When I was converting to Christianity and to Orthodoxy ,it was that very powerful scandal of the cross which was the llems through which I saw all matters of faith. And it was the essential honesty of the portrayal of that scandal and the great painful challenge of it that convinced me of the truth of Orthodoxy.
I remember reading a piece by a Catholic writer( was it Neufield?) who was at an ecumenical conference and his subject was the centrality of the cross to Christianity. He said he followed a Protestant who more or less said that they had disposed of the depressing symbol of the cross in their church! Our speaker was rather at a loss as how to follow that particular speaker with his own dark message of not by- passing the cross on the way to Pascha.
Please keep up the thought and faith provoking writing. I think it is only in discomfort that we learn anything important.
Thank you Father for that clarification!
Also, scandalous is our holding onto the old morality.
Fr. Stephen, thank you once again for a thought provoking article. FWIW keep up with the skandalon! I learn much from them.
"…the way of the Cross is the way of Pascha, the way of "contradiction" so far as the wisdom and rationality of this world are concerned." Quite true & very well-said.
My priest reminded me of this once when I commented that while I never have quite "fit in" with the rest of othe world, I begain to "fit in" even less so since becoming Orthodox. I was very surprised by his comment, "Good! You're not supposed to!"
He too reminded me that Orthodoxy is not just "one belief system among a world of competing belief systems" as you wrote; it is Truth & Truth is definitely scandal & contradiction to the rest of the world. Most of my theological discussions with the heterodox entail refuting this very common & staunchly held belief.
FrGregACCA, please have compassion for us Roman Catholics. It isn't easy to have to apologize constantly for Anselm. My prayer is that 1000 years from now people aren't still having to apologize for me!
Probably i shouldn't be commenting on Anselm because probably like most people I have never read him and am only going on what other people have told me. I will make a point of actually studying him
Your second comment is spot on. As the Orthodox philosopher David Bentley Hart has noted, people often confuse Anselm with his interpreters (many of whom are Protestant and thus working within a radically different conceptual framework).
Hart offers a solid defense of Cur Deus Homo in his latest book, The Beauty of the Infinite. You should check it out.
He identifies God's loving self-donation as the root and anchor of Anselm's thesis.
A couple of my favorite excerpts from Cur Deus Homo:
"We do no injustice or dishonor to God, but give him thanks with all the heart, praising and proclaiming the ineffable height of his compassion. For the more astonishing a thing it is and beyond expectation, that he has restored us from so great and deserved ills in which we were, to so great and unmerited blessings which we had forfeited; by so much the more has he shown his more exceeding love and tenderness towards us. For did they but carefully consider bow fitly in this way human redemption is secured, they would not ridicule our simplicity, but would rather join with us in praising the wise beneficence of God. For, as death came upon the human race by the disobedience of man, it was fitting that by man's obedience life should be restored. And, as sin, the cause of our condemnation, had its origin from a woman, so ought the author of our righteousness and salvation to be born of a woman. And so also was it proper that the devil, who, being man's tempter, had conquered him in eating of the tree, should be vanquished by man in the suffering of the tree which man bore. Many other things also, if we carefully examine them, give a certain indescribable beauty to our redemption as thus procured" (Book I, Chapter III).
"Much more, therefore, do we owe all thanks to God for completing his intended favor to man; though, indeed, it would not be proper for him to fail in his good design, because wanting nothing in himself he begun it for our sake and not his own. For what man was about to do was not hidden from God at his creation; and yet by freely creating man, God as it were bound himself to complete the good which he had begun. In fine, God does nothing by necessity, since he is not compelled or restrained in anything. And when we say that God does anything to avoid dishonor, which he certainly does not fear, we must mean that God does this from the necessity of maintaining his honor; which necessity is after all no more than this, viz., the immutability of his honor, which belongs to him in himself, and is not derived from another; and therefore it is not properly called necessity. Yet we may say, although the whole work which God does for man is of grace, that it is necessary for God, on account of his unchangeable goodness, to complete the work which he has begun" (Book II, Chapter V).
"How great and how just is God's compassion?
Now we have found the compassion of God which appeared lost to you when we were considering God's holiness and man's sin; we have found it, I say, so great and so consistent with his holiness, as to be incomparably above anything that can be conceived. For what compassion can excel these words of the Father, addressed to the sinner doomed to eternal torments and having noway of escape: "Take my only begotten Son and make him an offering for yourself;" or these words of the Son: "Take me, and ransom your souls." For these are the voices they utter, when inviting and leading us to faith in the Gospel. Or can anything be more just than for him to remit all debt since he has earned a reward greater than all debt, if given with the love which he deserves" (Book II, Chapter XX).
Leonard, it seems to me Anselm is no different from any of us other Christians who try to find a frame of reference we understand from our own culture and experience to try to make sense of the Scriptures. So it happens he didn't have a perfect frame of reference (i.e., Medieval Feudalism). Happens to the best of us! I'm sure he is also considered a Saint within the Roman Catholic Church for good reason. (I, too, only know about him from secondary sources, and not directly from his work.)
Certainly those of us who for many years thought even our rudimentary understanding of Anselm's theory of how the Atonement works was quite reasonable (even though we have a different cultural context now) are just as much, if not more, to blame for perpetrating the distortions in his theory. Not the least of these, of course, are the Reformers (themselves with virtues as well as vices) who incorporated elements of it into their even more problematic "Penal Satisfaction" theory.
For many years PS satisfied my curiosity about the reason for the Cross. It was only later as I matured in my faith and in love for others and began to consider its presuppositions and implications much more deeply in light of what I had always been taught to appreciate in the nature of God revealed in the face of Christ in the Gospels (i.e., His completely humble, kenotic, self-sacrificing love) that it began to trouble me.
Probably it is also worth remembering that Cur Deus Homo is only part of Anselm's corpus, not to mention but a sliver of his whole person.
Also, Cur Deus Homo was likely written for non-Christians as well as for Christians. It attempts to answer many of the standard criticisms that Muslims and Jews level against the incarnation and the crucifixion.
By the way, Father, very insightful post, though perhaps you underestimate the scandalous nature of Christ's pascha even today. As the only Christian in my family (besides my wife), I certainly recognize its capacity to baffle and offend, as well as its susceptibility to ridicule.
Philip Jude, thanks for posting the quotes. I actually posted my comment before I saw yours (they flew past one another in cyberspace!).
Thank you, Father!
I haven't considered that even the photographs are a skandalon in a way. But you are right. I remember having my eyes drawn to a wall where there was a photo of the vaults of a monastery church, with Christ Pantocrator in the dome. The picture was part of a poster announcing a lecture, but of all the other pictures, which were all secular, this one was standing out through its otherworldly beauty. A witness, as you say.
Philip Jude,
I've read Anselm, and disagree with Hart's read on him (BTW, Beauty of the Infinite is an earlier work rather than his latest). Hart is an interesting writer and scholar and I have great respect for him – but differ with him on several points. Vigen Guroian, who is Armenian Orthodox, but far more mainstream as an Orthodox writer, has a new work out, Theology in an Orthodox Key. He has quite the usual take on Anselm as is found in most Orthodox work. Hart's take on Anselm does not seem to have been taken up within the Orthodox world of theology (and by this I do not mean the blogosphere – we are not great scholars in the blogosphere – I'm just an educated parish priest who likes to write with a slight gift for interpreting Orthodox thought for a larger public). Hart is a true scholar – but also a very good writer. He also has a very good ear for debate (I would be seriously outmatched by him in any discussion). Nonetheless, I respectfully disagree with his read on Anselm.
Anselm is a very imaginative theologian (not a developer of the tradition). He works with the metaphor of "honor" (far more than the later idea of "justice"). God's honor has been offended, similar to that of an offended medieval Lord. It is this metaphor, pretty much absent entirely from Scripture, that he develops for his penal theory. He is thus an innovator. He is not Augustinian. He's just interesting. His thought will later be developed into the justice metaphor – but his metaphor is about honor, not justice.
Anselm is more of a symbolic target, a name to hang on an idea, rather than the true origin of an idea. PS atonement theory fails in many ways – particularly it's lack of comprehensiveness. As a metaphor, it does not integrate with sacramental theology, or ascetical, etc. It has the weakness, too often found in the West, of standing on its own, but as a separate thing. Orthodox theology tends to be a seamless garment in comparison. As such, it is far more satisfactory and communicates the faith more plausibly.
Leonard Nugent, it is to the Roman Church's credit that it has been backing away from Anselm's soteriology since Vatican II.
Father, can you tell us something about the picture in the blog? Where is it? And when does it date from? Just curious tis all.
scrap the above question, just saw your answer to Anna. thanks
This is very off-topic, but I've been wondering: In Orthodoxy, is the Divine Liturgy considered sacrificial, as is the Catholic Mass?
"To give thanks for all things, will take us to a place of contradiction, a place where the goodness of God is utterly triumphant, despite the deep tragedies that confront our lives."
You cannot know how deeply this penetrated to the depths of my heart. It is a scrap of hope to which might cling in a time of bleak sorrow. Somehow the goodness of God shines through all the anguish, loneliness, foolishness, failures, regrets, and stuff of life that is innate to human existence,
I meant to say, "to which I might cling.
St. Paul says, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed," thus the liturgy has a sacrificial side – though this is not a primary Orthodox theme. Essentially, we do not believe that Christ is re-sacrificed, but that the Christ whose holy Body is given to us in the Eucharist, is the sacrificed Christ. The one sacrifice is made present.

How is a Schatzki Ring diagnosed?
The diagnosis of Schatzki ring can usually be made by barium x- ray examination of the esophagus; however, a narrow ring can be missed on x-ray. In patients with symptoms of dysphagia, doctors usually also order an upper endoscope examination. Endoscopy is the best way of diagnosing a Schatzki ring. During the endoscopy, a flexible viewing tube is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus. It allows a direct view of the inner lining of the esophagus and the stomach. The test helps to exclude early cancer, esophagitis, and Barrett's esophagus.
What treatment is for Schatzki Ring?
Comment on this Read 6 Comments
Management of these rings involves procedures that will stretch or fracture these rings, thus allowing freer passage of solid food. Stretching or fracturing can be performed with endoscopes or tapered dilators inserted through the mouth, also by deflated balloons that are placed across the ring and are then blown up. Open surgery is hardly ever necessary to handle these rings.

Soviet Unions
An American moves to St. Petersburg, Russia—where Jews were once forbidden to live—and finds Jewishness has social currency, especially for dating
The lounge was made to feel completely underground—red curtains obscured all natural light, and candles flickered. Russian waitresses with onyx eye make-up and black wigs posed as belly dancers straight out of The Arabian Nights.
To find the place, we had to turn on a few side streets, go down a discreet staircase next to an apartment complex, and press a button beside an unmarked black door. Three short rings later, we were greeted and quickly ushered inside by a round Russian man with a shiny bald head.
"It's exclusive," Dasha whispered to me as we traipsed down the stairs. "They don't want to bother with just anybody."
Dasha, Anastasia, and Nastia, native Russians in their twenties, made the orders: pomegranate hookah, tea with milk, tea with lemon, chocolate-covered almonds, and fruit beer. Dasha, an icy blonde, and I sat next to each other at the low table while the other two women sat across from us smoking gold-tapered cigarettes.
We began with talk about the stinginess of Dasha's recent ex. "A Russian woman should only have to pay for her candy and stockings," Anastasia, draped in fur, informed me. As the newcomer, having just moved here from New York on a fellowship, I had Russian romance lessons to learn. We continued with necessary nastiness about his new girlfriend. "In this day and age, if a Russian woman isn't beautiful by 30, she's just stupid," Nastia, very tall with black hair, said, making the case that plastic surgery solves everything. Dasha had new prospects: an Italian diplomat and a Finnish entrepreneur. "We look for foreigners," Dasha explained.
Soon the conversation turned to me. I mentioned a few disastrous dates I'd been on since arriving and then made the typical four-single-women-at-a-lounge conclusion: "Men are impossible." Anastasia and Nastia murmured their agreement, blowing smoke rings.
"Except Jewish men," Dasha interrupted. The three of us looked at her. She crossed and uncrossed her legs and signaled to the waitress for another drink. "The best men are Jewish."
I turned to Dasha. "You're Jewish?" I asked. She smiled, fiddling with the diamond cross around her neck. "Of course I am Jew," she said. "Jewish men are stylish and important men. And they are the most generous. You must date Jewish men." Anastasia and Nastia nodded seriously, as though Dasha were imparting the secret to successful dating.
I leaned back and took a deep drag off the pomegranate hookah. I was in St. Petersburg—a city that 100 years ago had forbidden Jews' residency. The only exceptions had been Jews who openly converted to the Russian Orthodox Church, or Jewish merchants with connections. In rare cases, Jews who had served in the czar's army for 25 years were permitted to live in the city.
When Daniel Chwolson, a great early 20th-century intellectual in St. Petersburg, was once asked why he had converted to Russian Orthodoxy from Judaism, he answered: "Out of conviction."
"Out of what conviction?" he was asked. His answer: "Out of the conviction that it is better to be a professor in St. Petersburg then a melamed [Hebrew schoolteacher] in Shklop."
Now, in a trendy lounge, a young Jewish Russian woman was flaunting her Jewishness and her trysts with Jewish men like it was a fabulous accessory, akin to her black fur coat.
When thousands of Russian immigrants began flooding Israel in the 1990s, the joke was that for the first time in history, people were trying to alter their official papers to say that they were Jewish. Since my move to St. Petersburg this fall, I've been taken aback by a similar trend: Everyone I meet is excited to have their metaphorical Jewish papers. Jewishness has a new social currency—especially when it comes to dating.
Before my move, my sole association with Russian Jewry, like so many American Ashkenazi Jews, was that of my lineage. Unless I was discussing the refusenik movement of the 1970s or taking the occasional subway ride to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, Russian Jewry was the family photographs on my living-room walls.
In one, my great-grandfather, a Hasidic rabbi from a shtetl outside of Minsk, Belarus, looks out sternly from an oil portrait above our piano. In another, my grandfather and great-aunt, from the same shtetl, gaze with somber eyes in faded black and white. On a table in our foyer is another black-and-white photograph of another great-aunt, a classic babushka.
Russian society was deeply anti-Semitic when those photographs were taken. Pogroms were government issued. There was little to eat. I am reminded of a Yiddish shtetl song my mother, a Yiddish translator by profession, once taught me: Zuntik bulbes, montik bulbes, Dinstik uhn mitvoch bulbes, Donershtik uhn fraytik bulbes. Ober shabbes in a noveneh a bulbeh kuggele Zuntik vayter bulbes. (Translation: Sunday potatoes, Monday potatoes, Wednesday potatoes, Thursday and Friday potatoes. But on the Sabbath for a change a potato pudding.) Between this and the lyrics to Fiddler on the Roof's "Anatevka"—overworked, underpaid—my stereotype of Russian Jewry was complete.
As I prepared to move, I thought about how my Belarusian grandfather had come to New York City 80 years ago in order to learn English and make a life for himself and his family. And as I began to study rudimentary Russian, I couldn't shake the lingering and lovely thought that this was my grandfather's childhood alphabet. Learning simple greetings and the words for "black tea" connected me to him and his lost world, both of which I longed to understand.
The next time I met Dasha, over wine in a fashionable, factory-style café above an art gallery called the Loft, I pried her about the comments she made at the club. She waved to various artists drinking at different tables and then turned back to me. "It's simple. If you don't like a man, I tell you it's because he is not Jew," she said in her accented English.

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fun getaway that rivals it's neighboring vacation destination We discovered Roslyn Ridge when trying to book a Father's Day getaway and our normal destination in Cle Elum was booked up. It's quite comparable and much more reasonable in price. When it came time to come back for a wedding recently, we jumped at a chance for this larger unit in the same community. It was even more spacious than the pictures and the rental process was the easiest we've had yet through VRBO - timely and thorough communication and a true interest in providing a great experience. The amenities are great for a family - the pool is pleasantly warm, there's a playground for the kids, easy scooting/biking access, and a good pizza place in town. We enjoyed the added touch of some games and DVDs in the unit and the kitchen was well supplied - even had a Keurig! We were concerned the unit not having AC would be an issue in the middle of summer (85 degree days),but true to what the rental manager stated, it cools down at night and the fans in the unit made it very comfortable and we still wanted blankets at night. We definitely look forward to going back! Manager responded on 8/27/2014: Thanks Ryan for taking the time in sharing your wonderful experience and the 5 Star Review! Glad you enjoyed the townhome and all the amenities. I agree it's a great value for the area. I look forward to your return visit. Vacation Rental 365 Derek
Close to town and very comfortable
I recently had the pleasure of working with Norm to surprise my husband for a brithday getaway. Norm was vry responsive and easy to work with. We arrived at the townhome and were happy to see how close it was to town. The property also backs the golf course...we were hoping to do some cross country skiing on the course but at the time the course did not have enough snow to open. Not a problem as just down the road was a large nordic ski area. The house was comfortable and very spacious. We did not use the hot tub but there is one available and the master bath had a jacuzzi tub as well. The kitchen was well equiped although we only used to make coffee in the morning. We chose to eat out most meals since we were on vacation. There is gas BBQ on the deck. the weekend we were there we got tons of snow and it was gorgeous! This town home can easily sleep a large family as it has two bedrooms on the main level and a futon and a double bed up in the loft....the couch on the main level also is a sleeper sofa... All in all we enjoyed our time and really enjoyed working with Norm.

'03 Jetta GLIHaving lost my way for a few years I finally got back into a VW. My Jetta GLI is barely two weeks old and I'm already thinking about all the stuff I can do to it. How difficult is it to install a cat-back exhaust? I've never done it before, but if it's a bolt-on procedure I can't imagine it being too difficult. Although I installed a P-Flow and P-Chip myself when I had my Corrado I never got around to doing the exhaust, so I have no experience to fall back on. Is it as simple as putting the car up on stands, unbolting the stock pipes and putting in the new ones, or is there cutting, bending and welding involved that require a professional touch?Brett ChapmanToluca Lake, CA
As long as you have the right tools, removing and installing a new exhaust on your Jetta will be a pretty straightforward procedure, very much like you have described. All of the high quality cat-back systems on the market today simply bolt up to the factory hangers. The most difficult part of the install is actually the removal of the existing exhaust system, since the bolts and clamps are subject to rust. Since your car is relatively new and you live on the West Coast, you shouldn't have much of a problem. To make it easier to remove, spray some penetrant on the nuts a couple hours before you try to remove them. Also, if you don't plan on reinstalling the old exhaust, it is easier to just cut it above the rear torsion bar. When you go to install the new exhaust, install the entire system and then align it before tightening it down.
16V GTII am looking into buying a 1991 GTI. What are the major things I need to be looking for prior to purchase?Michael Bruecknervia the Internet
The 1991 GTI is definitely one of the nicest cars VW ever produced, but it has its share of issues, as do all cars that are more than 13 years old. The first thing to do is try and find one that has very little or no rust, which might not be the easiest thing if you're on the East Coast. While the 16V is more powerful, it doesn't come without some additional problems, the main one being the timing belt, which should be replaced every 40,000 miles if not sooner. Another weak point are the electrical connections and grounds, which need to be checked and cleaned regularly. Check the exhaust manifold for any cracks or leaks. Also look at the distributor. Check for any oil seepage into the distributor, as the seals are prone to fail over time. While they can be replaced, they aren't readily available and you'll most likely have to replace the whole thing. Last but not least is the transmission. Make sure it's not making any unusual noises and that it's free from leaks.
Exhausting the PossibilitiesI have a question regarding the online tech procedure titled "Installing Neuspeed's 1.8t Bolt-on Kit." The center section of the Neuspeed exhaust was mated to the factory catalytic converter using exhaust paste (which I have) and some kind of clamp apparatus. I need to get my hands on a clamping apparatus like the one you guys used. Where can I buy one? My Bosal exhaust was not joined properly to the factory catalytic converter on my 1997 VW Jetta four cylinder. Because of that, it makes a horrible rattling noise when I drive it. I'm now in need of a new catalytic converter because the current one is old, and I want to join the new catalytic converter with my exhaust system properly.Matt Ellisonvia the Internet
I believe you're looking for the factory sleeve that clamps your exhaust to the catalytic convertor. Check with Techtonics Tuning (www.techtonicstuning.com) as they carry this piece for use with their exhausts or mating other exhausts to the factory catalytic converter.
1.8T ChallengeOne of the 1.8t Challenge entrants, Larry Victor, used Tarox rotors on his A4 and I've been unable to find someone who distributes them. Could you help? I have a 2002 Passat 1.8T GLS and have already had to resurface the rear rotors and replace pads.Jerry Terryvia the Internet
Tarox rotors are distributed primarily in the U.K., and if you really want them you could check with www.amber-performance.co.uk, but with extra taxes and shipping you'll probably wind up paying a premium. BMP Design in the good old U.S.A. also carries Tarox systems for the Mini Cooper and may be able to import a pair or two for your Passat. Your other options are Zimmerman, ATE or Brembo rotors. I would suggest looking into some of the new cadmium plated offerings that resist rust on the outer and inner hub portions of the rotor surface. Check out ECS Tuning (www.ecstuning.com) as they offer a wide variety of O.E.M., and aftermarket braking options for your Passat.
2003 VW JettaI have changed a few things on my car, a 2003 Jetta 1.8T (Neuspeed cold air intake, exhaust, and turbo inlet pipe). I am stumped on where to go next. I don't see too much on Jettas so I need a little help as far as performance. Jasonvia the Internet
The sky is basically the limit on performance modifications for your Jetta. If you haven't modified your suspension yet, that would be the next place to look at. A wide variety of aftermarket shocks and springs and anti-roll bars are available for your car. Options range from fully integrated kits such as H&R's Cup Kit and KW's Sport Suspension to separate spring and shock combinations by Neuspeed and H&R. If you're looking at more engine performance, you can look at the various turbo upgrade kits available which range from Neuspeed's K04 kit (www.neuspeed.com) to APR's Stage III kit (www.goapr.com), which can put down around 280hp. Numerous other kits are being released at this time as the 1.8T tuning industry really is heating up.
2001 1.8TI have a 2001 Jetta 1.8T--apparently I was wrong with my assumption of my car having 180 hp. It was not until 2002 that the 180 hp came out, right? Well, if so, then what do I need to change to get the 180 hp (or close)? I saw the tech letter about the compression change, downpipe size, and turbo type (AWW vs. AWP). Obviously, I don't want to spend the money to change the compression right now, but would the large downpipe help or hurt? The larger intake size (that I have) and larger downpipe of the AWP in theory would be best, but would this hurt airspeeds/velocities and hinder torque due to the lower compression ratio? Personally, I feel the difference between 9.3 and 9.5 is not much, but I'm not an engineer. I know with my experiences with other types of motors (V8s) going bigger (carbs, heads, intakes, etc.) has hurt low-end torque but aided top-end power. This is my first turbo car. I don't know a lot about turbos, but I believe they react differently to change as opposed to naturally aspirated motors, since the air charge is forced and not drawn by vacuum. Am I right? I would like to do things right the first time and save the headaches and money, so could you set me straight about turbo motors? And, finally, does my car have the straight K03 turbo or the Hybrid K03/K04, or am I way off base with the turbo that is in my car?Jim Cassidyvia the Internet
You are definitely on the right track. Your Jetta does in fact come with the 150 hp AWW variant of the 1.8T engine and this engine does in fact have the hybrid turbo, as does the 180 hp AWP version. The fact that you have slightly lower compression allows you to run slightly higher boost levels, if you choose to. The size of the downpipe that you want to use is going to depend on what plans you have for your car overall. Are you just going to "chip" the engine? Plan on adding a larger turbo? Intake? All those factors need to be considered when upgrading items such as the exhaust and downpipe. Most of the setups that I've seen which retain the factory turbo and a "chip" use a 2.5-in. turbo-back exhaust, which includes the downpipe and high-flow catalytic converter. This is a good setup that allows for quick spool-up and limited loss of low-end torque, and reduces the chances of over-spooling your turbo at higher boost levels.
Squishy SuspensionHi, I recently purchased a Golf Gti 1.8T with 180hp. I have found the factory suspension soft with a tendency to wallow over uneven surfaces. I want to replace the factory suspension to improve control and hopefully lose very little comfort. Very important: I do not wish to lower the car! I'm thinking of replacing the shocks and maybe the springs too. Rodrigo Ahumada Santiago, Chile
If you don't want to lower the car and want a fairly compliant ride, I would suggest Neuspeed Softsport springs or H&R's O.E. sport springs matched with Neuspeed/Koni adjustable shocks and struts. This combination allows you to set the dampening level of the shock from almost as soft as stock to very firm. These two springs will lower your car, but only slightly and probably no more than 10mm. Another option would be Shine Racing's Real Street Springs mated to Bilstein HD shocks. Again, this option would provide a relatively compliant ride while keeping your car at close to stock height.
A/C Removal Pulley KitI own a 1991 GTI 8V and have been looking everywhere for an A/C removal pulley kit. I would really like to get rid of the cancerous compressor dead weight in my car. Could you please help me locate the retailer that sells this kit?Carl Westvia the Internet
The best thing to do is locate a non-A/C 8V car and use parts from it. You'll need the following parts: a crankshaft and water pump pulley, non-A/C alternator adjustment bracket (one with the teeth), and the V-belt for a non-A/C car. Simply remove the A/C and related items and then replace them with these parts. You can find them at most any VW wrecking yard. Here's the part numbers to assist you in finding the parts you need: crankshaft pulley: 026 105 255; water pump pulley: 026 121 031; belt: 050 903 137; and alt. arm bracket: 026 903 247B. Also, after swapping the parts make sure that the alternator pulley is mounted with the following parts in this order for clearance purposes: nut-pulley-washer-spacer-fan-alternator.
Rabbit G-LaderI was reading in the March 2003 issue about the Rabbit G-Lader engine install. I have an '84 Rabbit GTI that's due for a new engine. I want to do a 1.8T install/swap. In the article I read the owner knew of people who had done the conversion to 1.8T (albeit at $14,000). Who would you recommend to have this done? Chris Rhodesvia the Internet
There are numerous places that can do a good job at swapping a 1.8T engine into your Rabbit. It's not an easy swap, but a good shop can do it with the right amount of time and money. I'd suggest talking to local VW enthusiasts to find the shops in your local area that may be able to handle this type of project. Then, contact the shop and discuss what you want to accomplish with your swap. You can also check out VW Internet resources such as VWVortex (www.vwvortex.com), which has forums dedicated to engine swaps.
Rebuilt VR6I want to build a project car and I'm thinking of a rebuilt VR6 MkIII Golf. Has this ever been done? If so, where could I find some help? I'm 16, so my budget is tight. Afterward, I would modify the suspension to fix that awful body roll and maybe a Z-Engineering supercharger. Which is the most reliable engine mod? What do you think?David FischerChamplin, Minnesota
The MKIII VR6 is a great car to modify and the incredible amount of aftermarket parts available makes it a reasonably affordable project. As for modifying your car, the basic bolt-on modifications for the VR6 include a "chip" or ECU upgrade, intake and cat-back exhaust. These mods have proven to be pretty reliable over time and provide an honest 15-20 hp. The next step would be to install a set of cams or go the forced induction route with either a turbo or supercharger system. However, the first thing you should do is modify the suspension, which is definitely one of the MKIII's weakest links. H&R and Neuspeed both make excellent sport lowering springs for the MKIII and combined with a good set of shocks such as Konis or Bilsteins they'll yield excellent results. Another alternative would be the Shine Real Suspenion, which does not lower the car but provides excellent handling. I would also add a front upper strut tower bar to increase torsional stiffness and improve turn-in and steering response. These basic modifications will greatly improve any MKIII GTI.
Radiator After-run Recall KitI have an '85 Jetta two-door that I've owned since new. It has 320,000 miles on it. Last fall I put it in for a paint job and some new trim pieces, including a set of MINILITE EV2000 7x15-in. wheels. This summer I experienced some overheating trouble. Turned out to be the connector for the radiator fan. Anyway, I bought a new Bentley manual that covers '85 to '92 Jetta IIs. It's mentioned in the manual that a recall kit was available with the wiring for an after-run switch that attaches to the head. The dealer carries the switch and mount but not the wiring or a diagram to install it! Do you think that the info exists to do the retrofit? Can you help?Brianvia the Internet
Check page 134 of your Bentley, the after-run radiator cooling fan wiring diagram. These were added to the 1986 and later Jettas and should be easy to wire into your car.
MkIII ReliabilityI once owned an MkII 1990 Jetta 8V Digifant, I spent a lot of money fixing that car to working order. I then bought my current car, a 2001 Hyundai Accent, and I can't stand the fact that I can do relatively nothing to make it better. I don't want a really fast car, not yet at least. I can't yet afford that 1997 911 Turbo S or GT3 I want so badly. I do want a car that handles really well, brakes well and shifts well. My current car, as you can guess, does none of these things and I can't find any ways to change that.I was thinking of buying an MkIII Jetta, a '96-98 2.0-liter. I don't want to pay too much for insurance, I live in L.A. and insurance is terrible for twenty-something's like myself. How reliable are these cars? Will an MkIII give me problems? I know a lot depends on the previous owner, but if I get a good vehicle, what are the problems these cars have? For example, I know the MkIIs had a tranny that needed to be rebuilt once it went over 100,000 to 125,000 miles. Mario Cornejovia the Internet
The later 1997 and on MKIII Jetta 2.0s have proven to be fairly reliable. As with any used car, the car's history will play an important role in how trouble-free it will be in the future. As with most VWs, the main culprits are usually electric, and common issues with the MkIIIs include window regulators, headlight switches, speedometer failures and ignition switch problems. The engines and transmissions are pretty rock solid and with normal maintenance don't exhibit a lot of the problems the MkIIs had. With the release of the MKIVs, prices have dropped dramatically on MKIIIs and if you're looking for something a little faster, I'd seriously consider a Jetta GLX VR6. You will get a lot more bang for your buck with that car.
MkII Jetta QueriesHow much does a MkII Jetta weigh and what modifications are required to install a 1.8T engine into one?Wesleyvia the Internet
Depending on the model of Jetta, it should weigh approximately 2,300 to just over 2,500 lb. As for the 1.8T swap, the swap itself is pretty straightforward. The major issue will be doing the wiring and changing in the instrument cluster. To make the swap easier I'd look for an early Passat or A4 1.8T with the throttle cable, rather than using a later-model DBW engine, although those can be made to work as well. I'd also consider upgrading the front subframe to the MKIII subframe, along with the entire "Plus" suspension components and braking system. You'll then need to upgrade the rear brakes to a 5-lug system as well--but that's pretty simple if you use Corrado parts.

Baytex Energy Is Following A Good Plan
PRO • Stephen Simpson, CFA • Tue, Aug. 19 • 3 Comments
- Baytex's acquisition of Eagle Ford acreage diversifies the production profile and adds exposure to a high-quality growth play.
- Further non-core asset sales seem likely, and management may yet look to acquire more acreage in the high-return Peace River and Lloydminster areas.
- Baytex looks only slightly undervalued on an EV/EBITDA basis and not tremendously cheap on an NAV basis, but the development risk seems lower than normal for companies of this size.

US Automakers and Consumers Shifting to Small Cars
Tony is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The preliminary figures for vehicle sales in September are out and they were not as good as the August numbers. Sales were flat for Ford Motor (NYSE: F) and sales at General Motors (NYSE: GM) were only up 1.5%. Sales at Chrysler, majority-owned by Italy's Fiat S.p.A. ADR (NASDAQOTH: FIATY.PK), motored ahead in September at a 12% rate.
The most interesting aspect of the sales figures for Detroit's Big 3: All three companies boasted about their fast-growing sales of smaller models of passenger cars. This is almost unheard of in the United States, famous for its gas-guzzling SUVs and pickups.
General Motors said its sales of mini, small, and compact cars were up 97% from the year-ago period. Ford reported that small car sales jumped 73% from a year ago, to a record for the past 10 years. Meanwhile, Chrysler's Dodge Dart sales rose 72% from August, and sales of the Fiat 500 subcompact climbed 51% year-on-year.
These sales reports are outstanding. But do they represent the beginning of a long-term trend? Thanks to high fuel prices, is America finally moving away from driving gas guzzlers?
If so, the Big 3 automakers will have to learn to adjust. After all, smaller cars carry smaller profit margins. That's why U.S. automakers largely abandoned the field to foreign competitors, concentrating instead of high-margin larger vehicles.
One way the automakers are coping with possible tighter profit margins on small cars will not make most Americans happy: The Big 3 are shifting production to places like Mexico. Ford makes its Fiesta model there, and Fiat manufactures its Fiat 500 for the U.S. market in Mexico as well.
GM should be commended, though. It manufactures the Chevrolet Sonic, the smallest passenger car mass-produced in the U.S., at its plant in Lake Orion, Mich. It copes with small profit margins by actually moving suppliers in-plant in an effort to shorten the supply chain .
Of course, one big plus that U.S. automakers have in their corner is that they have moved toward using global platforms for the production of many of their vehicles. Chevy's Sonic and Ford's Fiesta, for example, are both built on the same platforms as vehicles in Europe. This is a real long-run cost-saver for automakers.
But the question still remains whether U.S. consumers are ready to switch to smaller vehicles permanently. The answer is probably as it has always been in the past: No. As soon as the price of fuel starts falling again (if it ever does), Americans will rush back into driving their favorite gas guzzlers.
Right now, according to Edmonds.com, compact and subcontact cars account for 21.5% of the U.S. car market, versus 24.6% for SUVs. The two numbers will likely only reverse if gasoline climbs to more than $4 a gallon and stays there.
Interested in additional analysis?
Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. But Ford's stock seems stuck in neutral. Does this create an incredible buying opportunity, or are there hidden risks with the stock that investors need to know about?

College graduations are as special for parents, as they are for their kids, but one local family had twice the reason to celebrate.
On Friday, a mother and daughter received their diplomas together from Widener University.
Maribel Blythe and her daughter Kidian Martinez received their masters degrees.
Blythe is a nurse who decided she wanted to teach and Martinez earned her degree in social work.
Martinez says they found encouragement in each other and are happy to share the day.
"It's amazing your mom is your best friend, there's nothing better than going through a process with such a strong inspirational woman," said Martinez. Her mother appreciated her daughter's encouragement as well."She's been my cheerleader throughout the whole four years, she's just been my rock," said Blythe.
Blythe says they're going to celebrate the accomplishment big time.

No Connection Thank you for the comments in the September 2006 Linux Magazine regarding my IBM R50e laptop. I have now written a C++ program that solves about 90% of the Sudoku problems I give it, but I am still unable to connect reliably to the Internet. I have sent and received about half a dozen e-mails using Evolution, the default under Ubuntu, but I usually get a message that says "unable to connect to pop. tiscali. co. uk" and asks again for the password, which I give it. The transmission eventually says "completed." On receipt it says "unable to connect to pop. tiscali. co. uk" and "Error while fetching mail," but it has received the message, after asking twice for the pop password.

Savory Grilled Turkey
My family likes this recipe so much that we tried grilling in a sheltered spot during the winter. It worked! Now we can enjoy this juicy, grilled bird all year long. —Karen Buenting, Livermore, Iowa
12 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Grill: 2 hours + standing
1 turkey (12 pounds)
1 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon A.1. steak sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
Remove giblets from turkey (discard or save for another use). Using
long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and
lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using
a drip pan. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together.
Place turkey over drip pan; grill, covered, over indirect medium heat
for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Remove from the heat. Set aside 2/3 cup for serving.
Grill turkey 1-2 hours longer or until a thermometer reads 180°,
basting frequently with remaining sauce. Cover and let stand for 15
minutes before carving. Serve with reserved sauce.

Okay, Gharug, now remember, you're here for valuables. And violence. Valuables and violence. You've probably got the violence part down, so time to scrounge for some jewels. Or diamonds. Yeah, diamonds, those really fetch a handsome price at market.
>Gharug: Spare the rest if they hand you all of their valuables.
Dmitri: Politely inquire as to this fellow's business. Also, consider that this fellow might be willing to deliver your letter for you.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck mr. scruffles is a cat
smeared between life and death
in a box
god damnit kaz
Swear to god, when I saw Gharug at the end of that update, I heard Those Chosen by the Planet in my head. Not because he's any sort of long-haired prettyboy, but because Gharug is quickly becoming That Boss. You know the one: the one that shows up, kicks the party's ass, then vanishes... only to return later and do it again. And again. And again.
I'm hoping the climax of PREQUEL involves Katia going up against a Gharug who's ascended to godhood, with the only way to defeat him being to make him so much luckier that his luck rolls over into the negatives and he spontaneously ceases to exist. Regardless of whether that happens, though:
> Dmitri: Tell the nice orcish gentleman that you can see he's the kind of person who likes to get things done without any fuss, and you're the kind of person who would really rather not encounter death personally (hence the intense research into averting it), so you would appreciate him suggesting the course of action most likely to lead to your organs remaining internal. If he expresses interest in your possessions, freely and cheerfully offer them to him; everything you own can be replaced. Yes, even the cats. Your dying won't help them anyway.
Mr. Scruffles: Attack the intruder
Dmitri: Run away while he's distracted
I was imagining he would cease to exist because the universe conspired to make him so freaking lucky that it hit a luck parabola and it would ascend into the infinites causing the infinitely unlikely event where he would instantly telport into the land of eternal pleasure
Option 1: Cast a spell! You could use something that can quickly incapacitate a threat, IE. paralysis or blindness (unless they only teach that in Kvatch, alongside levitation), use telekinesis to disarm the Orc of his weapon/clovers, or fortify your speed and go invisible. Then, practice the noble art of living to fight another day, and get the heck out!
Option 2: Consider raising Landorumil as a distraction. Speaking of which, if you make it through this, now that Land's deceased, maybe you could reconsider that threesome?
Option 3: If all else fails, try an emotional appeal. Tell him you have a love letter to deliver to a Khajiit friend of yours (don't say anything about the expensive gift, though). Tell him he can take whatever treasures he wants from the other necromancers, so long as he agrees to let you live and send the letter.
As the ancient sages wrote in the Elder Scrolls
"abscond the fuck out of there"
looks like luck DOES work that way.
>Dimitri: Escape, run into Katia and the Imperial Guardsmen
>Hijinks, ensue

ADOLF HITLER, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Charles Manson are among the killers whose faces have appeared on the covers of major English-language magazines, and no one should conclude that a publication's decision to examine the backgrounds, views, or deeds of these individuals is in any way a celebration of them. Rolling Stone magazine's decision to publish a long story about Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in its upcoming issue, and to feature an image of him on the cover, should be interpreted primarily in this context. The story, which was posted online Wednesday, represents a major commitment of time and energy, and it appears to provide some new details about Tsarnaev's background. So it's worthy of prominent play in the magazine and of broader public attention.
Rolling Stone grew out of a 1960s-era alternative news movement that combined intense coverage of music and the arts with hard-hitting coverage of current events. Most recently, the magazine's scorching 2010 profile of General Stanley McChrystal led to the Afghanistan commander's downfall. Yet because the reading public has long known Rolling Stone primarily for its music and entertainment coverage, many Bostonians are understandably concerned that the magazine is giving the bombing suspect a celebrity treatment he doesn't deserve.
