Ed.: Bishop George Leo Thomas will
celebrate his 35th anniversary of priestly
ordination on May 22. A feature on his
priestly ministry will appear in the June
edition of The Montana Catholic.
Ten priests in the Diocese of Helena are
celebrating ordination anniversaries of 50
to 65 years this spring and summer. Here
are brief profiles of each priest.
Until he fell ill
with pneumonia
in 2007, Father
Joseph Oblinger
never had been
admitted to a hospital.
"I don't plan
on going again,"
he said this
month as he edged toward his 90th birthday
on May 25, and the 65th anniversary
of his ordination as a priest for the Diocese
of Helena, on May 30. His plans do include
more ministry, more hiking on the mountain
trails that he loves and perhaps writing
a fourth book.
On senior status since 1991, Father
Oblinger lives in Bozeman and is the sacramental
minister for Our Lady of the Pines
Parish in West Yellowstone and St. Joseph
of Big Sky Mission. This winter, he got
busy finishing his book about the late Diocese
of Helena Bishop Joseph M. Gilmore,
and therefore went downhill skiing only
Father Oblinger said his upcoming projects
might include a book drawing on
columns he used to write for the diocesan
newspaper. His autobiography "Fisher of
Men," published in 2006, soon was followed
by "Rescuing Vanishing Manhood,"
about the challenges presented by fatherlessness.
Father Oblinger is awaiting publication
of the Gilmore book, possibly
around Father's Day. He said that in writing
it he was thankful for the help of diocesan
archivist Sister Dolores Brinkel,
editorial assistant Marilyn Barnhardt and
Steve Buckner, a Bozeman deacon candidate
who provided technology assistance.
Born in Big Valley, Alberta, Father
Oblinger grew up in Montana and was a
college student when he felt the priesthood
calling seriously. "I love the Church," he
told The Montana Catholic in a 2005 interview.
Soon after earning a bachelor's degree
in chemistry in the state university
system, he studied philosophy at Carroll
College and then went to St. Edward's
Seminary near Seattle.
After ordination, he served in the Diocese
of Helena chancery for five years,
three as chancellor. Next came pastoral assignments
at St. Ann Parish in Butte and St.
John the Baptist in Frenchtown. Father
Oblinger returned to the chancery and
served there for 17 years. He was the chaplain
at Good Shepherd Home for girls; pastored
at the Cathedral of St. Helena and
was vicar general; chaired the diocesan
pastoral planning office; served as a liaison
for Catholic Charismatic Renewal; and was
the Montana-based director of the diocesan
mission in Guatemala.
Father Oblinger was diocesan administrator
between the departure of Bishop
Raymond Hunthausen in 1975 and the arrival
of Bishop Elden Curtiss in 1976, and
served as retreat director, highlighted by 14
years as director of Christhaven.
A party celebrating 65 years in the
priesthood is set for May 29 in Big Sky.
As a student at Carroll College, Archbishop
Raymond Hunthausen liked chemistry
and math, and thought that eventually
he might pursue a career as a chemical engineer.
"I didn't have an intention of becoming
a priest when I went off to college," he
said recently, but
he did consider
the possibility at
the same time
that he considered
His Carroll spiritual
director, Father
Topel, helped him
design an undergraduate education that
"prepared me for the seminary just in case
I wanted to go," he said.
The seminary did indeed draw Archbishop
Hunthausen, and on June 1, 1946,
he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of
Helena. He said he is astonished by the
passage of 65 years since his ordination,
and equally astonished by his longevity.
His 90th birthday is on Aug. 21.
"My sentiments are fundamentally gratitude
to God, that I would have been so
privileged as to be called to be a priest and
to serve in this diocese where I came to
know and love so many people, my brother
priests especially," said Archbishop
Hunthausen, born and raised in Anaconda.
He said he is grateful, too, for having
served in the Archdiocese of Seattle.
He became the president of Carroll College
in 1957 and was named a monsignor
the following year. Installation as the sixth
bishop of the Diocese of Helena came on
Aug. 31, 1962, and within two months he
went to Rome for the opening session of
the Second Vatican Council. He was installed
as archbishop of Seattle on May 22,
1975, and retired in 1991.
Over the years, Archbishop Hunthausen
became known as a strong advocate of
peace efforts, and expansion of Catholic
social outreach and advocacy for the poor.
Carroll now has the Hunthausen Center for
Peace and Justice and annually confers the
Raymond G. Hunthausen Award for Community
Of the decision to enter the priesthood,
he said, "When I came to the moment, I
knew that this was where I belonged. It was
the grace of God."
He said a solid Catholic upbringing that
included education in Catholic schools
gave him a foundation for his life's work.
His education at Catholic institutions continued
well beyond high school. In addition
to the undergraduate years at Carroll, he
studied at four other Catholic campuses: St.
Louis University, The Catholic University
of America, Fordham University and the
University of Notre Dame.
Physical limitations restrict Archbishop
Hunthausen's activities, but he still hears
confessions once a week in East Helena.
He lives in Helena with his brother, Father
Jack Hunthausen.
Father Gregory Burke of Butte is retired,
sort of. He went on senior status in
1998, but five days a week he provides pastoral
care at St. James Healthcare in Butte,
and he's available to serve an additional
two days if the hospital calls.
"I love it, and I am able to help a lot of
good people," said Father Burke, 85 and
for 60 years a priest.
He was born in Ireland's County Cork
and arrived in Montana at the age of 22.
Ordination was about four years later, on
May 16, 1951, at the Cathedral of St. Helena.
"I love my Catholic faith and I give a
lot of gratitude to my parents, who were
good, staunch
Catholics," he
said. "I came
from a good
Catholic home,
which I think is
an ideal basis for
His message to young men
considering the priesthood: "Pray, pray and
go for it."
Diocese of Helena parishes Father
Burke has served as pastor are St. Ann in
Butte, Holy Rosary in Bozeman, Immaculate
Conception in Deer Lodge, St. John the
Evangelist in Butte and Holy Family in
Three Forks. He served those parishes during
the span from 1968 to mid-1997, finishing
at St. Ann and then transitioning to
senior status. Father Burke's earlier assignments
were in Eureka, Browning, at St.
Patrick Parish in Butte and at St. Paul in
Anaconda. Those assignments followed a
faculty position, received in 1951, at
Cathedral High School in Helena.
Father Burke said he enjoyed all of his
Montana assignments. Looking at the
broader Church, he believes the Second
Vatican Council had "a real positive effect.
It changed our Church for the better" by
making it more accessible to people.
He studied at St. Finnbarr's College,
Mount Melleray College and St. Patrick's-
Thurles, all in Ireland, and at St. Edward
Seminary in Kenmore, Wash.
Father Burke still speaks with an Irish
brogue and has returned to his birth country
many times over the years. In 2004 he was
one of the grand marshals for the St.
Patrick's Day Parade in Butte.
St. James Healthcare planned a jubilee reception
on May 19, from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Msgr. Joseph Harrington remembers
"practicing" Mass as a boy at an altar that
was in his Butte home, courtesy of an aunt
who thought it would be a nice gift.
"Ever since I
was a child, I
wanted to be a
priest," said Msgr.
Harrington, ordained
at the
Cathedral of St.
Helena 55 years
ago, on May 19,
1956. He was appointed
episcopal vicar for Carroll College
in 1978, was named monsignor in 2000 and
was appointed episcopal vicar for seniorstatus
clergy in 2005, a position he continues
to hold.
He had good models of religious life
when he attended Catholic elementary
school with Sisters of Charity of the
Blessed Virgin Mary as teachers, he said,
and during his years in Butte's public high
school, he was a server in Mass. Most of
his high school teachers were Catholic
Much of his service during his 55 years
as a priest has been at Carroll College,
where he held a variety of administrative
positions and in 1969-74, served as president.
In the classroom, he taught microbiology
and other science classes at the
diocesan college. Msgr. Harrington retired
from teaching in 2000.
A Carroll alumnus, his graduate and
post-graduate studies were at The Catholic
University of America in Washington, D.C.
At CUA he reportedly was known as "Blast
Off Joe" because as the hour for class approached,
he would say "time to blast off,"
according to a homily on the occasion of
his golden jubilee in 2006.
Msgr. Harrington entered the field of
education following brief assignments in
Conrad and Eureka soon after his ordination.
As a seminarian, he said, he expected
to be in parish work for many years.
He has done a lot of substitution service
in Diocese of Helena parishes, and continues
to celebrate Mass when asked.
"If I'm able to do it, I do, almost anywhere
they ask me to go," said Msgr. Harrington,
who is 80 and lives in Helena.
Young men contemplating the priesthood
"should realize that it's a great way
to serve the Lord and to serve people," said
Msgr. Harrington, uncle of Father Robert
Hall at Butte Catholic Community North.
"I did it mostly through teaching young
Father William Greytak and early
priests of the Diocese of Helena share a
Belgium link. A
number of those
early priests came
from the tiny European
and it was in Belgium
that Father
Greytak studied
for the priesthood
and then was ordained,
on July 1,
1956. He likes having that connection.
Attending American College at the
University of Louvain "gave me an opportunity
to get a wonderful education and see
a lot of Europe," said Father Greytak, rector
at American College from 1978-83.
Today he ministers in Boulder at St.
Catherine Parish, where he has been the
pastor since 1992. His background includes
pastoral service at St. Thomas the Apostle
Parish in Helmville, beginning in 1986.
At 80, Father Greytak is working in
what ordinarily would be the retirement
years. "I enjoy doing it, so why not do it?"
he said.
As an undergraduate at Carroll College,
the Butte native anticipated studying law.
He felt the pull of the priesthood, though,
and he remembers some exemplary priests
who served as models for his vocational
A historian and a teacher, he said the academic
year just ending marks the first
time in many years that he did not instruct
a class at Carroll.
History is his field, but soon after ordination
he taught Spanish at the college. He
subsequently studied romance languages at
the University of Michigan and later enrolled
at the University of California-
Berkeley when it was a hotbed of student
activism. "I was a student from Butte.
Would I ever cross a picket line?" he asked
rhetorically. He transferred to the University
of Colorado, where he earned a doctorate
in history.
At Boulder, he is proud of St. Catherine's
relatively new pastoral center and its
availability for use by community groups
or other churches. The center "should be
shared," he said.
In the summer, the historic church
housing St. John the Evangelist Mission 15
miles southeast of Boulder is open, and Father
Greytak celebrates Mass there as well
as at St. Catherine. The mission church
takes on a family reunion air, he said, as
young adults who have moved away return
home for summer visits, and worship with
their families.
In his service as a priest, he said, he sees
over and over "how supportive and good
people are. They're so appreciative of
whatever you do for them."
On the eve of what was to be his ordination
as a sub-deacon in Washington, Father
Jim Hogan backed out. The next day, men
who were his
classmates at St.
Thomas Seminary
near Seattle were
ordained and the
25-year-old with
second thoughts
returned home to
Montana, confused
about his direction
in life.
Today, Father Hogan is 76 and preparing
to celebrate 50 years in the priesthood.
He lives in Missoula, as he has for most
of the years since he was ordained a priest on
May 27, 1961, at the Cathedral of St. Helena.
He went on senior status in 2006 after 22
years as pastor at Missoula's Christ the King
Parish and as director of Catholic Campus
Ministry at the University of Montana.
His work at Christ the King followed a
year of pastoring Little Flower Parish in
Browning. Earlier he was the founding pastor
at Holy Family Parish in Missoula and
Spirit of Christ in nearby Lolo, serving
both for 10 years. His background also includes
supervision of the Religious Education
Center in Helena; pastoral service at
the cathedral, St. Anthony Parish in Missoula
and St. Ann Parish in Butte; and
teaching at Catholic schools in Missoula,
Butte and Helena.
Father Hogan grew up in Anaconda and
attended Carroll College, where his basketball
coach was Father Raymond
Hunthausen, who later became the Diocese
of Helena bishop and then the Seattle archbishop.
Father Hogan said that in his post-
Carroll period, thoughtful counsel amid
the struggle about ordination came from
Father Hunthausen and influenced the return
to seminary and the walk to the priesthood.
Father Hogan has the seminary equivalent
of a master's degree in theological
studies. He also holds a University of Montana
master's in educational administration
and from Loyola University in Chicago, a
master's in pastoral studies.
His outreach beyond the parish community
has included serving on committees and
boards that worked to establish a new Missoula
jail, to evaluate municipal goals and
to guide the Poverello Center in its assistance
for Missoula's homeless and hungry.
In 2000, Father Hogan received the Jeannette
Rankin Peace Center's Peacemaker of
the Year Award for exemplifying commitment
to social justice and nonviolence.
The 50th anniversary of Father Hogan's
ordination will be celebrated on May 27 at
Christ the King Parish. Liturgy will be followed
by a meal.
Father Jim Hazelton remembers thinking
the 24 months of car payments looming
before him more than 50 years ago were a
reason to sideline thoughts of studying for
the priesthood. Finish paying for the car, he
figured, and then examine whether he
should move from classroom teaching,
which had been his work for eight years, to
life as a priest.
But those car payments notwithstanding,
he discussed vocations with Diocese
of Helena Bishop Joseph M. Gilmore, for
whom he had
been a boyhood
trainbearer years
earlier at the
Cathedral of St.
Helena. Father
Hazelton recalls
the bishop saying,
"Well, Hazy, how
do you feel?" The
reply: "I think I
should be doing more with my life than I
am now doing."
This month, Father Hazelton celebrates
50 years as a diocesan priest, most of those
years as a missionary in Guatemala. May
27 marks the anniversary of his ordination
in 1961 at the cathedral.
He recalls that in the conversation with
Bishop Gilmore, the talk moved quickly to
the priesthood, with the bishop declaring
"you are going to be a diocesan priest" and
the two then discussing seminaries. Father
Hazelton said he liked mountain settings.
The bishop told him that St. Thomas Seminary
in Denver came with a view of the
peaks, and that to avoid being distracted
while at the seminary, he should stop thinking
about mission work.
In an email to The Montana Catholic,
Father Hazelton said he left the visit with
Bishop Gilmore "wondering what I had
done" and how he was going to steer clear
of the priesthood, given the bishop's expectations.
As it turned out, their talk was "the
most important and blessed 5-minute interview
of my life," Father Hazelton said.
"Now I am celebrating 50 years of diocesan
priesthood, and I was still able to fulfill
one of my early dreams—being a missionary
The Diocese of Helena's mission in
Guatemala was established in 1963. Father
Hazelton arrived in 1964, 37 years old and
a newly minted pastoral assistant from St.
Joseph Parish in Butte. Now 84, he has
worked tirelessly to make education available
to Guatemalan children, many from
families that thought schooling was beyond
reach. He directs the mission school established
in 1996. Father Hazelton regularly
celebrates Mass in the mission hub of
Santo Tomas la Union and in outlying
Born in Helena, he received a bachelor's
degree from Carroll College in 1949
and studied at St. Thomas in Denver.
Father Thomas O'Donnell, the pastor at
Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parish in East Helena,
remembers that the priests and nuns
he knew as a boy in Helena were marvelous
models for life in a Catholic vocation.
"They were great mentors," said Father
O'Donnell. From
that mentoring
and presence in
his youth, he said,
his life as a priest
"took root and
With May 27
the 50th anniversary
of Father
O'Donnell's ordination as a priest, "I look
back and thank God for the call to the
priesthood, for God's presence and guidance
in my life all these years and for all
the wonderful people God has put in my
He was ordained for the Diocese of Helena
on May 27, 1961, after seminary studies
at The Catholic University of America
in Washington, D.C. He and the diocese's
Father Ed Stupca, who also celebrates his
golden jubilee this month, traveled there by
train from Montana and roomed together
for three years.
After a diocesan parish appointment for
a summer, Father O'Donnell joined the faculty
at Carroll College, his alma mater, in
1961 and was there until he entered graduate
school at St. Louis University four
years later. Pastoral work at St. Anthony
Parish in Missoula followed the graduate
studies, and in 1982-83 he was the rector
at Mount Angel Seminary in Oregon. Father
O'Donnell subsequently co-pastored
St. Richard Parish in Columbia Falls, directed
the pre-seminary program at Carroll,
worked in the field of continuing education
for priests, pastored Risen Christ Parish in
Kalispell and served as the diocesan vocations
director. Fifteen years ago, he became
the pastor at Ss. Cyril and Methodius.
Today, people considering religious vocations
sometimes lack the family support
that strengthened him as he discerned his
path, said Father O'Donnell, 76, "but the
basics are the same…and that is to persevere
in seeking God's will, to seek out
guidance and support and pray, faithfully
and with faith that God's will will be done.
Who knows where that might lead? God
will give all the help that people need to
find their way."
At Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Father
O'Donnell's ordination jubilee will be
commemorated on May 25, when there
will be a Mass followed by a parish dinner
and social gathering.
People called Father Ed Stupca the
"roamin' Catholic" when he served Madison
County Catholic Community in the
1990s. Dividing his time among the
county's burgs of Sheridan, Laurin and
Ennis, he traveled a lot.
Today Father Stupca is on senior status
and lives in Butte.
He said that as
a boy growing up
in Anaconda, he
anticipated becoming
a priest.
On May 27 he
will celebrate the
50th anniversary
of his ordination.
After graduating
from Carroll College, Father Stupca
studied theology at The Catholic University
of America. Then he joined the Carroll
faculty, in 1961. Several years later he
began pastoral work that took him to St.
Anthony Parish in Missoula, followed by
service at St. Patrick and St. Joseph
parishes in Butte, at St. Rose of Lima
Parish in Dillon, and again at St. Anthony.
In 1991 he began the Madison County assignment,
which he held until taking senior
status in 2006.
"The priesthood is a wonderful way of
life," said Father Stupca, 75. "People share
their lives with you in ordinary times, in
sad times and happy times. You really get
to know people and love them. That's the
main thing about the priesthood—serving
people in the name of the Lord."
Cheerful and quick to laugh, Father
Stupca said he likes "to experience different
things in life," an advantageous attitude
even as he reeled from a heart attack about
three years ago. Doctors in Butte determined
he should go to St. Patrick Hospital
in Missoula, which necessitated flying in a
helicopter—something Father Stupca always
had wanted to do.
"I'd never been in a helicopter, and I
was just so happy to be up there in the air,"
he said. "I didn't have sense enough to
His guides have included the priests and
women religious who were a steady presence
in the Anaconda Catholic schools of
his boyhood, "a wonderful milieu for considering
the priesthood," he said. He recalls
warmly the counsel of the late Msgr. Denis
Meade, at St. Anthony Parish, and Archbishop
Raymond Hunthausen. Father
Stupca said he also has good memories of
working in Dillon with Father Ed Kohler,
and in Missoula with Fathers Jim Hogan
and Tom O'Donnell, Sisters Veronica
Kirscher, CHM, and Ursula Keough,
CHM, and with Terry Jimmerson, currently
pastoral assistant at St. Anthony.
Father Stupca's ordination jubilee will
be commemorated May 27 at Holy Family
Church in Anaconda. A meal and music
will follow the 6 p.m. Mass.
Father Tom Flynn tells his students at
Atlanta's Emory University that they may
call him at home as late as midnight. He
encourages communication, and if that
means taking late calls, Father Flynn is
happy to do so.
The Diocese
of Helena priest
this summer celebrating
the 50th
anniversary of his
ordination is a
philosophy professor
at Methodist-rooted
Emory, where he
began teaching in
1978. His reputation as an academic is international.
"I'd always wanted to be a priest, since
I was a little kid," Father Flynn said by
phone this month while in Helena for a
meeting of the Carroll College Board of
Trustees, on which he has served since
2009. "I also wanted to be a teacher."
Father Flynn, who grew up in Anaconda,
received a doctorate in French philosophy
from Columbia University in New
York, in 1970. He earned a bachelor's degree
at Carroll in 1958. Between working
toward the degrees at Carroll and Columbia,
he earned a licentiate in theology from
Gregorian University in Rome. That was in
1962, as the Second Vatican Council was
"Shortly before I left Rome, I paid my
last respects to St. Peter's Basilica and saw
the desks set up for bishops from all over
the world, in preparation for the Council,"
Father Flynn told Carroll Magazine five
years ago as the college prepared to present
him an with an honorary doctorate.
"Vatican II taught us that we must not
only teach the modern world, we must also
learn from it."
Father Flynn taught at Carroll, Columbia
and The Catholic University of America
before joining the faculty at Emory.
In a previous profile in The Montana
Catholic, he said that his work at Emory
provided opportunities to interact with people
"who wouldn't normally talk to a priest
or know a priest otherwise. I have a chance
to show them that priests are human, they
also have a spirituality that they can share."
His service in the Archdiocese of Atlanta
has included assisting in Mass at several
Father Flynn, 74, said that as a young
man, he considered what he could best do
with his life and the priesthood ranked first.
He was ordained on July 16, 1961. "I love
being a priest," he said. "It's a very fulfilling

Princess boys and dinosaur girls
A girl walked into the library the other day and exclaimed, "They put out the dinosaurs! Just for me!" A boy walked into the library a few weeks ago, made a bee-line for the dress-up clothes, and decked himself out in full gown and crown. Absolutely fabulous! At the library we love to help kids explore every dimension of their personality, and we especially love it when the library feels like it's just for them. Because, they're right! We hope you'll check out the play spaces at many of our libraries, and let your children fit right in. And of course, we have lots of delightful picture books about princesses and dinosaurs for all!

In contrast to evidence that the amygdala stimulates stress responses in adults, researchers at Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University have found that the amygdala has an inhibitory effect on stress hormones during the early development of nonhuman primates.
The results are published this week in Journal of Neuroscience.
The amygdala is a region of the brain known to be important for responses to threatening situations and learning about threats. Alterations in the amygdala have been reported in psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders like PTSD, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. However, much of what is known about the amygdala comes from research on adults.
"Our findings fit into an emerging theme in neuroscience research: that during childhood, there is a switch in amygdala function and connectivity with other brain regions, particularly the prefrontal cortex," says Mar Sanchez, PhD, neuroscience researcher at Yerkes and associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. The first author of the paper is postdoctoral fellow Jessica Raper, PhD.
Some notable links on the amygdala:
*An effort to correct simplistic views of amygdala as the "fear center" of the brain
*Collection of papers mentioning patient SM, an adult human with an amygdala lesion
*Recent Nature Neuroscience paper on amygdala's role in appetite control
*Evidence for changing amygdala-prefrontal connectivity in humans during development Read more

T.I. - I Can't Help It
Artist: T.I.
Featuring: Rocko
Producer: Smash Factory
Album: No Mercy
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 40 total votes )
Grand Hustle heavyweight T.I.'s weathered one legal dust-up after another without losing a step musically, and won well-deserved Booth acclaim for his trouble, but can he earn rave reader reviews for a street single featuring the worst-reviewed artist in our site's history (not to mention the subject of a singularly awkward Booth interview)? Never say never. I Can't Help It is a straight-up swag-a-palooza (yeah, I made that word up), with Smash Factory's dark, piano-synth boardwork setting the appropriate mood for a celebration of gwop, the grind, and fine females. The headliner's acrobatically-flowed cash-and-women talk should leave few of the Southern mainstay's fans disappointed, and Self Made emcee Rocko... well, Monica's ex shows unmistakable improvement on the mic, dropping a catchily slurred hook along with his paper-chasing guest bars. Your verdict, Booth readers? Whichever side you come down on, you'll want to keep it locked for the latest on T.I.'s no-longer-quite-so-ironically-titled seventh LP, No Mercy, which has yet to receive a solid release date.

With its white-stucco archways, red-tile roof and vibrant courtyard, the Lucie Stern Center is a gracious example of Spanish-Mediterranean architecture. Designed by Birge Clark and donated by Lucie Stern, an heir of Levi Strauss, it was originally built in 1931 as a community theater. But since then, the center has matured into a welcoming hacienda that offers a variety of options for weddings.
You can rent individual areas or the whole center. For instance, if your wedding is small and informal, consider having it in the mid-sized Community Room, whose windows overlook a Mission-style promenade. The adjacent patio, which is enclosed by the U-shaped building and a vine-covered brick wall, has a two-tiered lawn bordered by an array of colorful flowers. The upper level is an ideal spot for your ceremony or live entertainment. Another choice for an intimate event is the Fireside Room. It features a large fireplace constructed of brick and stucco, and also adjoins the patio.
One of the most popular areas for gathering during a celebration is the Municipal Courtyard, a brick-paved retreat surrounded by flowers of every conceivable color. Enhancing this picturesque setting is the majestic stucco theater, standing tall in the background—it's evocative of a centuries-old Spanish church.
From the courtyard, guests walk through double glass doors into the Lucie Stern Center Ballroom, a large space complete with beautiful hardwood floors, dark wood wainscoting and two tiled fireplaces. Done in a rustic, early-California style, the room has a cathedral ceiling with exposed wooden beams and six cylindrical chandeliers crafted of black wrought iron. A row of windows overlooks the lush lawn in front of the facility.
From the blooming white roses at the courtyard entry to the open-air promenade and Mission-style rooms, the Lucie Stern Center is a classic Old World setting. And it's this abundance of old-fashioned elements that makes the center such a charming spot for weddings.
CEREMONY CAPACITY: The center holds 300 seated guests indoors or up to 250 seated guest outdoors.
EVENT/RECEPTION & MEETING CAPACITY: The center holds 200 seated or 300 standing guests indoors or up to 150 seated or 200 standing guest outdoors.
MEETING CAPACITY: The center holds up to 300 guests seated theater-style.

Ramon Ortiz brings weight proportionality to staffPosted on January 19th, 2007 – 1:49 PM
By Michael Rand
Can the pitcher, who floundered with the Nationals last season (11-16, 5.57 ERA) turn things around with the Twins, with whom he has agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million deal contingent on passing a physical? No clue. But if our guy La Velle E. Neal III is correct in guessing at a rotation of Johan Santana, Sidney Ponson, Boof Bonser, Carlos Silva and Ramon Ortiz, you have to like the move purely from a weight standpoint. Ortiz, checking in at a downright gangly 175 pounds on his 6-0 frame, stands in stark contrast to Bonser (260), Silva (246) and Ponson (250). Ortiz will be stuck at the top of the teeter-totter should the staff ever make a trip to the playground, but that's a concession the Twins needed to make in the name of balance.

(1) Guadalupe speleothems are large because: (a) a sulfuric-acid mode of dissolution created huge chambers in which speleothems could grow large; (b) the caves are very old and, therefore, there has been sufficient time for speleothems to grow large; and (c) wet climatic episodes earlier in the Pleistocene provided the moisture necessary for the growth of large speleothems.
(2) The profuseness of speleothems in Guadalupe Mountain caves is related to the fact that ground water easily descends everywhere into underground chambers through the jointed and bedded Tansill and Yates Formations and the porous reef.
(3) A variety of speleothem types occur in Guadalupe caves because a variety of factors have influenced the diversity of speleothem form: permeability, bedding, and jointing differences in the various limestone facies; dolomitic as well as calcitic rock; and evaporation as well as carbon-dioxide loss. Dolomitic rock supplies magnesium to the high-magnesium carbonate minerals hydromagnesite, huntite, and dolomite; evaporation causes these minerals to precipitate and also affects the morphology of speleothems such as bell canopies, popcorn, and tower coral. Jointing and bedding favor dripstone and flowstone speleothems, whereas high porosity and permeability of bedrock favor popcorn growth.
(4) The dominance of popcorn-type speleothems in Guadalupe caves relates to the porous and massive nature of the Capitan reef core facies, to condensation-corrosion processes, and to the lower humidity and high rate of evaporation in the caves. Water seeping through porous limestone results in thin films of water necessary for popcorn growth. High rate of evaporation turns flowstone-depositing or condensation water into slowly moving films of popcorn-depositing water.
(5) Most of the speleothems in Guadalupe caves are composed of carbonate rather than sulfate minerals. Sulfur-isotope data suggest that the sulfate minerals derived from pyrite in the overburden; the general lack of sulfate speleothems in these caves is due to the relative scarcity of pyrite in the Guadalupe Mountains. The exception to this rule is Cottonwood Cave which lies directly below a pyrite rich section of the Yates Formation, and consequently has abundant gypsum and epsomite speleothems in its Gypsum Passage.
(6) Speleothems in Guadalupe caves are, for the most part, dry and inactive because the present climate in the Guadalupe Mountains is semiarid. Most travertine in the caves formed earlier in the Pleistocene when the climate was more humid and moist than it is today.

Memories of the angelic Shori at Johnny's World☆〜(ゝ。∂) ♪♪
Right, no. Just stop right there. Enough. I'm dying.
Short in summer nude!
It's been a great drama so far, and I must say, his acting has gotten a lot better since 'hungry!'. Gah, so proud. *maternal tears trickle down face*.
Shori's smile is my summer sunshine.
[I mean seriously though, look at those shining teeth!]
So this pretty much sums up Shori.
Gahhh loved the 'Wolf drama ver.'!!! It was so amaaaazing! (Yes, Luhan is the main character, so i would say that). His face is shoooo cwuuut!!

ZILLAH, Wash. -- Wednesday Seahawks receiver Golden Tate helped Zillah Middle School celebrate its Fuel Up to Play 60 program. Todd Reed set up the fitness and nutrition program at Zillah when it was short on gym equipment and healthy foods. Tate and the students had a lot of fun and played games. Zillah packed the gym and appreciates having a pro athlete help get the message across.
"It's awesome. I never would have thought Golden Tate coming to our school. A lot of people don't know the name Zillah. So to have someone of his star appeal, he's one of the an elite receivers I feel in the NFL. We're blessed to have him," Reed said.
"I think it's important to hear from someone other than your parents how important it is to eat healthy and fuel your body. So you can give more energy out," Tate added.
Tate went on to tell students he would show off the Zillah t-shirt he received if the Seahawks win the Super Bowl.

Glenview will soon add another headquarters to an already impressive list of not-for-profit organizations and businesses including Anixter, Scott Foresman and LifeSource that call the Village home.
The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) expects to break ground this fall on 5.25 acres of land recently purchased in the Prairie Glen Corporate Campus, according to a recent Village press release.
The medical society plans to house its innovation and learning center in a newly built, two-story, 45,000-sqaure-foot facility, 2501 Patriot Blvd. The project is slated for October 2013 completion when the organization's 90 employees will move from the current headquarters at 3300 Dundee Road in Northbrook.
The approved a development agreement during its May 22 meeting, and expects the regulatory review process to begin shortly with the ACCP and land developer Catellus.
"The ACCP has experienced significant growth in staff, members and educational offerings in recent years," ACCP's Executive Vice President and CEO Paul A. Markowski said at the board meeting. "Our strong partnership with the Village of Glenview and Catellus will help us to realize our goal of expanding our innovative educational initiatives to our members and the global health-care community."
Construction of the new $16.5 million headquarters will require infrastructure work, according to officials, and because of this, the Village of Glenview has agreed to provide a $120,000 incentive and a $715,000 loan from , the press release explained.
The TIF was originally formed in 1998 to help Glenview redevelop the former Glenview Naval Air Station as The Glen, .
According to the release, the incentive will be recouped from property tax payments the ACCP has agreed to pay over the next 15 years. The loan will be repaid in full at 2.5-percent interest upon sale of the remaining two parcels in the campus owned by Catellus.
"The ACCP will be a wonderful addition to The Glen, and will not only enhance the quality of businesses in the Prairie Glen Corporate Campus, but will add several millions of dollars each year to the local economy," shared Village President Kerry Cummings at a recent board meeting.

We have been using Sitters at the Shore for 5 years and can't say enough about how pleased we are with our experience. The service/response rate is always very prompt and accommodating to our needs, and most importantly, the sitters are phenomenal!…
Our sitter was punctual, sweet, professional and responsible. But where she really shined was her creativity. … When we book a sitter on vacation, we expect someone who keeps our children safe. We do not necessarily expect a sitter who enchants and delights- who dreams up and executes a fantasy personalized for our children. We are extremely impressed with the sitters and Sitters at the Shore.
I am the parent of a developmentally disabled young adult. My family takes a two-week vacation in Avalon every summer. I first called Christine when my son was in his mid-teens, hoping she might be able to find us a caregiver who could spend the afternoon with my son on a series of days during our vacation, giving him special attention and providing some flexibility and respite for the rest of our family. She sent us a delightful young woman who our son just loved.
I have been using Sitters at the Shore from the day my son was 6 months old. Every time I called, I received a call back with the name and profile information about the sitter being placed. The sitter contacted me directly and I immediately felt comfortable.
My child became ill and I didn't want to go out, but Christine assured me her sitter will know what to do and she did. Everything worked out very well in the end. We spoke to our sitter before during and after our night out. We felt confident leaving her with our son…
I believe that this was Ginger's first job working with you. I just wanted to let you know that she was fantastic with the boys. The boys were happy, comfortable, and looked forward to their evening time with Ginger.We had a great experience.
Hi Christine, We couldn't have been more thrilled with our sitter, KelliAnn! Thank you for enabling a very special 10th anniversary weekend. We can't wait to submit our requests for July and August, with our daughter's preference, of course, to hopefully be matched with KellieAnn.
Hi Christine hope you've been enjoying your summer. I'm suspecting it's been super busy for you, but hopefully good. We're making our final summer trip to Cape May for 2013. We'll be at Congress Hall. We'd like to request Kellianne for 5 days, if her schedule permits. Please let me know, and thank you in advance. As you can gather from this request, Kellianne has positively enhanced our summer vacations for the entire family (and of course that directly links to your organization and the priceless service you provide!)
Just wanted to let you know how happy we were with Amanda. We looooved her. She really made us feel so calm and we knew we could trust her from the moment she came in. Thank you and will definitely come back and call you again.
Hi Christine, We just wanted to tell you Dawn was wonderful. She was so sweet and Presley loved playing with her. Thank you.
This organization has been around over 10 years now and every single time I call them for a sitter, they come through for me. I have even called them last minute and Christine works her matchmaking skills to always make that perfect placement. I am so glad Sitters at the Shore is here, so we can continue to go out on our summer date nights. Thanks for being here for us.
If you are ever staying at the Jersey Shore and in need of a sitter, you must call sitters at the Shore! Christine provides a top-notch service! She sent a staff member twice this week for Hudson and tonight hubby and I got to get out for the evening and she watched the boys. They do an amazing job!.
Hi Christine, I Would like to let you know that Ginger was awesome, she is the type of sitter every parent would love to hire!! Thank you for your service. You'll be hearing from us soon.
I just want to let you know how much we all loved Regina. She is wonderful! Thank you very much. My friends and I will be calling again.
Hi Christine,Tiffany was fantastic and we will definitely request her again the next time we travel to Cape May! She arrived early each night and immediately put me at ease. This was our first time leaving Adrián with a non-family member and only the 3rd or 4th time we'd ever left him with a sitter at all! Tiffany was super professional and very laid back, which I loved. I needed a laid back and confident sitter! Please thank her again for us! And we SUPER appreciate her willingness to sit in the dark for a few hours so that our little guy could sleep soundly. I will be in touch again as soon as we plan our next trip to the Shore!
Sitters at the Shore, Care Aware, Inc. is owned and operated by Christine Meehan, a certified elementary teacher. She started Sitters at the Shore in 1998, the first sitting service in Cape May County. Along with private babysitting services, and group care for weddings, parties, and other special events, Sitters at the Shore has recently added additional services-private tutoring, senior sitting, pet and house sitting too!Christine is a mother of two children worked as a social directress for the Morey family in Wildwood Crest for 8 years, at the Pan American Hotel and Seapointe Village. She is also a co-owner, birthday party coordinator and pre-k karate instructor at South Coast Shore Kick Karate in Rio Grande.Christine loves children and as a parent, she knows how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with a babysitter. Some people think, "I don't want to leave my child with a stranger," but with Sitters at the Shore, the client is able to talk to and be acquainted with the sitter before she arrives.All sitters bring along a bag of toys and activities to entertain the children while the parents are out. Kids enjoy our sitters and may ask to see their sitter again!Sitters at the Shore makes their customers happy, and Christine is sure of it because she checks in with clients and sitters daily. She only refers the best sitters.We are happy to have Sitters at the Shore, to be a part of Congress Hall's "Blue's Clubhouse", providing fun themed activities throughout the summer. Private sitting before and after club hours are also available along with anytime private sitting and group care. Sitters at the Shore have worked with wedding consultants in the area and here at Congress Hall since it's inception in 1998, and their kid parties are just as much fun as the grown-ups'. The sitters are mainly certified elementary teachers, substitutes, teacher's aids and college students majoring in education, or related fields. They are all background checked and screened to meet the high standards of Sitters at the Shore before being appointed. The sitters of Sitters at the Shore love children and enjoy playing, teaching, and caring for them.
Every year I take my address book out and make a call to Sitters at the Shore to reserve my babysitter for my vacation date nights.Summer in Stone Harbor is a joy with my family, and Christine is always so friendly and helpful. There isn't a summer season that goes by that Christine doesn't find me the perfect sitter for our family. We have had a least 4 different Sitters from Sitters at the Shore and many I have used over and over again.

Quite possibly our most favourite couple of the celeb world, Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards.
The pair always seem extremely loved up, however Perrie Edwards revealed that she's 'not really romantic' with bf Zayn.
It has been suggested that Zayn is the romantic one in the relationship, but it seems that Perrie can be just as sweet as her bf.
Fellow Little Mix band member has confessed to Capital FM that Perrie did once make Zayn a really romantic present.
Jesy revealed: "Perrie used loads of pictures of them, from when they first got together,
"that is romantic". She added.
So, if Perrie wanted to keep it hush that she is an absolute romantic cutie, then Jesy has just spilled the beans on her.
But, it's not as if it's a secret that they both like a good bit of romance here and there.
They recently celebrated their one-year anniversary with a romantic getaway in Paris.
The pair marked the special day with a kiss and a cuddle in front of the Eiffel Tower.
We're happy to see that they have put Zayn's cheating allegations behind them and moved on.
Because we think they're perfect for each other!
Are you ready for the green-eyed monster to come out?
Because here's a whole bunch of super cute pics of Zayn and Perrie being all loved up and stuff.

I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day. I love the way their brains work. Joe [her son] turns to me the other day and says, 'One day, I will have a girlfriend. But I might have a boyfriend. If I'm gay.' He's 7! And I said, 'You might have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling.' And he said, 'Which would you prefer?' And I said, 'My love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesn't make any difference to me.'

At Essendon Keilor Gymnastics Academy we have three goals: To Teach Gymnastics, To Make it Fun and To Keep the Kids Safe. We are a family-owned business and understand what families are looking for at a gymnastics club. We know preschoolers want to have FUN and have friendly coaches. We know school-age gymnasts want to learn cool new tricks and make new friends. And we know competitive squad gymnasts want to represent the club and they want to WIN!
At EKGA we do everything possible to make this happen.
Christy Hemphill (nee Rowe) is the club Managing Director and has been coaching for 17 years. In that time she has had a number of career highlights and achievements, including: having Trampoline athletes represent Australia at the World Age Games, having Men's Gymnastics athletes win medals at the Australian Championships, having teams of Women's Gymnastics athletes win Victorian State Pennants and most importantly for EKGA, seeing the young gymnasts that she has coached, trained and mentored, work their way through the Gymnastics Australia coaches course and become successful, qualified, sort after coaches in their own right.
Many of the biggest achievements at EKGA are what look like the smallest achievements... seeing a little Kinder Gym kid walk along the balance beam, seeing a little girl do a proper cartwheel for the first time, seeing a little boy master a chin up. For some kids these are minor steps, for others they are major achievements.
EKGA prides itself on running a clean, safe, family friendly facility which caters for gymnasts from two years of age, right through to adults. Visit our classes menu to learn more about what we have to offer.

CeCe McDonald told Fusion's Alicia Menendez that she is doing "fantastic" and "enjoying life, enjoying womanhood" with friends and family just a couple of weeks after her release from prison.
McDonald, a transgender woman of color, spent 19 months in a Minnesota men's prison after being sentenced for second-degree manslaughter. McDonald said she was defending herself during a racist and homophobic attack. The case drew national attention, but McDonald said she garnered very little support from national LGBT and civil rights organizations.
"Honestly, I haven't felt like I had total support," McDonald said. "I can say that I had complete support from the people within my community inside the Twin Cities...but larger organizations...really didn't get involved."
She also found it "unnerving," she said, to be around certain police officers. While some were helpful and understanding, others were "bigoted" and "ignorant."
"A lot of times people don't know how to handle situations where people who are less conforming are accepted into society," McDonald said, "so it's harder for people to get involved with situations that bring attention to trans cases and things that involve trans and nonconforming identities."

The entire Wreckage album is someone figuring out whether or not to call their ex on the phone by thinking over the entire time they were together."Slayed" represents our protagonist swaggering around a pub when he meets his lover. The next three songs, "Stompbox," "Supermoves," and "Velocity Shift," show the two falling madly in love, partying their nights away together. "Horndog" is about the couple's consummating their romance. "Meteorology" is sort of a So Happy Together moment. "Aquaplane" represents the relationship starting to decay. "Doomsday" is the point where the couple starts fighting with each other. "Basstrap" then shows the couple trying to fix their problems by ignoring it and partying even harder- the lines even say, "Got to show some, got to hide some." "Sparks" shows that the partying harder did nothing, and that the protagonist feels like only an outline. "Never" is the climax, where the couple breaks up in a torrent of rage, and the protagonist demonizes their lover to justify it. "Heligoland" and the 20 minutes of silence that follow are symbolic of time's passage healing the wounds from that relationship. When the telephone picks up and someone answers, "Hello?" it shows that our hero has decided to forgive his ex and try to reconnect.

Originally written September 27, 2012 on BirdsFan.com - A Philadelphia Eagles...:
I was going to start this article with a rant about the replacement officials, Roger Goodell, the owners, and Nickelback. Well, the replacement official issue has been resolved. So there goes that. Oh wait….Niceklback. Yeah, they suck. So I'm having a rough season so far. Really rough. But I've still got time to turn it around. Luckily week four is going to start with what should be an easy game to pick. $10 says that, in saying that, I've jinxed it. Let's hit it. As always, my picks will be in italics. Browns @ Ravens – Let's start with the positives about Cleveland. They have a pretty decent defense. Yup, that's about it. Okay that's not entirely fair. Trent Richardson is looking like a future stud at RB an Brandon Weeden has improved each week. Now for the bad news…they have to go to Baltimore Thursday night. Ouch. The Ravens have been darn near unbeatable at home and in their division. I'd also like to take this moment to send my condolences to Torrey Sm

From the San Antonio Tea Party:
The long awaited decision on Obama Care has finally arrived, and a weak Supreme Court has let America down again and showed no regard for the limitations placed on government by the� constitution.
The Federal government can now force any citizen to buy any product or service, even if the citizen does not want or need that product or service.
The Court ruled that the Individual Mandate survives as a tax and Declares the entire act to be constitutional, except for some minor restrictions on Medicaid requirements for states.
Chief Justice Roberts sided with the liberals and �Justice Kennedy sided with conservatives, on a five four vote..
This monumentally destructive law�must be�repealed or nullified prior to full implementation,�or�many businesses will be forced to close causing a tremendous spike in unemployment.� As the tax base shrinks, America will be left in �another great depression.�
It is the position of the San Antonio Tea Party to support either repeal or nullification of the Affordable Care Act and to provide for health care of Texans via Interstate Compacts like the one signed by Governor Perry in June of 2011. �
President of the San Antonio Tea Party, Allen Tharp.��

Adobe to Acquire Omniture for $1.8B
Adobe to Acquire Omniture for $1.8B
Adobe Systems announced Sept. 15 that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Omniture in a deal valued at $1.8 billion.
In a conference call with financial analysts regarding Adobe's third-quarter earnings as well as the Omniture transaction, Adobe President and CEO Shantanu Narayen said the deal was largely customer-driven-a move to integrate Adobe's creative design tools with Omniture's Web analytics technology.
Narayen said Adobe customers have been asking for more visual media, more video and more RIA (Rich Internet Applications). "We created the best [creative] tools in the world," he said. However, he said, "what we found is customers would like us to do more. They wanted us to help them understand which media content was performing the best and to understand click-through rates on ads," among other things. He also said developers asked for help in building intelligence up front in Web applications so they can be better tracked and optimized.
In a statement, Adobe said its acquisition of Omniture "furthers its mission to revolutionize the way the world engages with ideas and information. By combining Adobe's content creation tools and ubiquitous clients with Omniture's Web analytics, measurement and optimization technologies, Adobe will be well positioned to deliver solutions that can transform the future of engaging experiences and e-commerce across all digital content, platforms and devices."
Click here to read about Adobe's acquisition of Business Catalyst, maker of the GoodBarry online business suite.
Josh James, CEO of Omniture, said he sees the deal as a way to improve Omniture's ability to integrate its analytics and optimization technology "into the front end of the creative process."
According to Adobe's statement, "The combination of the two companies will increase the value Adobe delivers to customers. For designers, developers and online marketers, an integrated workflow-with optimization capabilities embedded in the creation tools-will streamline the creation and delivery of relevant content and applications. This optimization will enable advertisers and advertising agencies, publishers, and e-tailers to realize greater ROI from their digital media investments and improve their end users' experiences."
"Adobe customers are looking to us for solutions to deliver engaging experiences and more effectively monetize their content and applications online," Narayen said in a news release from Omniture and Adobe. "This is a game-changer for both Adobe and our customers. We will enable advertisers, media companies and e-tailers to realize the full value of their digital assets."
Moreover, "A lot of our customers are telling us they want us to find new ways to monetize the Flash platform," Narayen said.
James said Omniture already has integration capability with Flash. "Our customers demand that we figure out how to analyze and track Flash," he said.
What Omniture Will Do for Adobe
In the news release, James said, "Omniture's mission has been to enable our customers to optimize every digital interaction. By joining forces with Adobe, we will accelerate our ability to deliver on that vision and together bring new innovation to the market that improves content engagement, advertising effectiveness and the overall user experience, which will drive more advertising dollars online."
According to the release:
"This acquisition will significantly expand Adobe's addressable market and growth potential, broadening solutions Adobe provides to the rapidly growing Internet advertising, e-commerce and digital media markets.
"The combination will also expand Adobe's offering of mission-critical solutions to the enterprise customer. Adding the capabilities of Omniture will further enhance Adobe's offerings and ability to appeal to online marketers, including chief marketing officers.
"The acquisition of Omniture will further diversify Adobe's business, adding a scalable SAAS (software as a service) platform that captures over a trillion transactions per quarter, an expansive partner ecosystem, and a recurring revenue model."
Mark Garrett, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Adobe, cited Omniture's "broad-based subscription model" as a way of diversifying revenue.
"For Omniture, joining Adobe will provide global operational scale and the ability to more quickly penetrate new geographies and markets, thereby accelerating its go-to-market strategy and growth potential," the companies said in the news release.
"We've always been laser-focused on getting this business to $1 billion," James said. Through the deal with Adobe, he said, "we can get to $1 billion faster."
According to the statement, "As part of the expected integration of the two companies, Omniture will become a new business unit within Adobe. ...[Omniture CEO James] will join Adobe as senior vice president of the new business unit, reporting to ... Narayen. ... [The deal] is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Adobe's 2009 fiscal year."
In a separate statement, Adobe announced that "in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Adobe achieved revenue of $697.5 million, compared to $887.3 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and $704.7 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2009."

Priya is Indian and Avi is Jewish, the idea of a mixed wedding in Sydney with such different and interesting cultures made me say yes without any doubt. We had an amazing day and the two of them were beautiful and super sweet. The day was rainy but the ceremony at Eden Gardens in North Ryde was great and a beautiful night enriched with dances at the Epping Club in Sydney turned this day in something I will never forget. Thanks guys and lots of love.
