Bible Translation Debate: Complete TNIV Hits the Streets
- Thursday, February 17, 2005
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Would Gen-Xers and 'Gen-Yers' better understand their American heritage if history books called the men who gathered at the first Constitutional Convention "our founding human beings" instead of "our founding fathers?"
Translators of the full-Bible edition of Today's New International Version (TNIV), released Feb. 4 by Zondervan, have tampered in similar fashion with something infinitely more sacred, evangelical Bible scholar/theologian Wayne Grudem says.
By employing gender-neutral language, translators have edited the Scriptures in a manner that is both inaccurate and unnecessary, says Grudem, research professor of Bible and theology at Phoenix Seminary in Scottsdale, Ariz., and co-author of "The TNIV and the Gender-Neutral Bible Controversy" (Broadman & Holman, 2004).
"They are changing a historical document [the Bible]," Grudem said. "It is like someone writing about Bob Dylan's song from the 1960s, 'How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?' and deciding that people today wouldn't understand that Bob Dylan was using an example of a specific man to teach a general truth, and therefore telling modern 18-34 year olds that Bob Dylan wrote these words in a song: 'How many roads must a human being walk down, before you call them a person?'
"That would not be historically accurate, nor would it be necessary. But that is what the TNIV has done to the Bible."
Zondervan released the TNIV in early February following perhaps one of the largest advertising campaigns in church history. The publishing house pumped millions of dollars into a media blitz that saw it run ads in scores of publications both sacred and secular, including "Rolling Stone," which apparently changed its policy to run the ad after initially rejecting it due to "religious content."
The TNIV is an updated version of Zondervan's famous New International Version (NIV), which was for many years the best-selling Bible translation, annually pulling in one third of all Bible sales. The main difference between the TNIV and the NIV is that the new translation employs "inclusive language." That is, many words referring to the male gender are changed to include the female gender – "they" instead of "he," "parent" instead of "father," "brothers and sisters" instead of "brothers," and so on.
Zondervan is targeting the 18-34 age group with the new translation, a demographic that Paul Caminiti, vice president and publisher for Bibles for Zondervan, says is hungry for spiritual truth.
"Our mission at Zondervan for our Bible group is simple: It is more people engaging the Bible more," Caminiti said. "We have wrestled for some time with the idea that we might engage more people than ever before in God's Word. And as we began to look carefully at that and as we began to study different people and their degrees of ripeness, in a sense, for spiritual truth, it became clear through our research that the most spiritually-intrigued group on the planet are 18 to 34 year olds."
Still, Grudem contends that a desire to reach a particular demographic group does not provide warrant to alter the Scriptures.
"I think every 18-34 year old can understand the first grade reading words 'man,' 'father,' 'son,' 'brother,' and 'he/him/his,'" Grudem said. "Do people really want a Bible where they can't trust that what they are reading is what the Bible says?"

Celebrate Steelers vs. Packers frugally
Food and beverages are essential to a Super Bowl party. Here's how you can honor your team's traditions without spending a lot.
Two of the NFL's favorite teams are ready to face off in Super Bowl XLV. How can you celebrate your team appropriately -- honoring the best traditions of these franchises and football-crazed communities (and we mean that with great respect) -- without a helmet-to-helmet hit on your budget?
You can be frugal without going overboard (you know, like the kind of money Brett Keisel saves on shaving each year).
I've scoured the Web -- and my memories from growing up in southwestern Pennsylvania -- to bring you some recommendations for Super Bowl food and beverages that are both authentic and affordable. We also have advice if you're buying a new, huge TV for the game.
First things first: The Packers-Steelers battle for best Super Bowl food has already begun. For example:
- The Star Press in Indiana hosted a Battle of the Super Tastes -- pitting beer cheese soup (Pack) against a homemade version of Primanti Bros.' iconic sandwich (Steelers). (Note to the author: Pittsburgh is in the western part of the commonwealth known as PA, but still too far to order Primanti's takeout.)
- Another food showdown -- in Wine Spectator, no less -- pits the Kroll family's butter burger against the Roethlisburger (with a nice review of sandwich traditions in each city).
Fun fact: The Steelers bar is two blocks from the Packer fans' bar -- in Rome, Italy.
Now, for your own celebration:
- Steelers: Iron City. If you're not in one of the 38 states where it's sold, good substitutes are Rolling Rock and Yuengling.
- Packers: Wisconsin = beer. Leinenkugel, perhaps? Not available? Miller will suffice.
Food: Both cities treasure their working-class roots, so nothing fancy (expensive) is required to eat like the hometown fans of your team. Post continues after video.
- Cheese curds. They are best when they're "squeaky" and deep-fried.
- The aforementioned beer cheese soup. This recipe from Pepperoni Is Not A Vegetable looks yummy.
- Brats. Epicurious' Sheboygan-style beer-soaked brats recipe gives some guidance to dress them up for game day.
- Chicken booyah. (Thanks, Terri Auchter, for that tip, and the next one.)
- If you've watched a Steelers game on TV, yinz -- oops -- you have probably seen video of Primanti Bros., the sandwich place that puts the coleslaw and fries between the bread, along with the meat, etc. Courtesy of Pittsburgh native Leslie Huffman, writing in the Cary (N.C.) Citizen, here's a simple homemade version. For a more complete recipe, here's one from The Washington Post.
- Kielbasa. Epicurious has another gussied-up recipe for the game.
- Isaly's chipped ham barbecue: Here's the recipe for the original. If your grocery store doesn't know what "chipped" ham is, ask for "shaved" instead -- not quite as thin, but it's better than nothing.
- Bonus:Delish offers recipes from the moms of Steelers past and present: Gladys Bettis' sweet potato pie and an extra cheesy Super Bowl Mac 'n Cheese from Janice Staples, LaMarr Woodley's mom. (Sorry, no Pack mom recipes.)
For dessert? Klondike Bars for Pittsburgh fans. Frozen custard or kneecaps (little cream puffs) for Green Bay fans.
For grazing during the game, many fans recommend chips and dip that match your team's colors -- combinations of black and gold or green and gold. And if you must have wings, Consumer Reports came out with its picks for the best from the frozen-food section. (During commercials, you can either watch, or compare the merits of "Here we go, Steelers" vs. "Go, Pack, go.")
- Bing:Steeler fan songs vs. Packer fan songs
Decorations: Again, nothing fancy required.
- Steelers: A few Terrible Towels.
- Packers:Cheeseheads are a must.
You also could print out or make construction paper replicas of Lombardi trophies for the wall. At the start of the game, Pittsburgh gets six; Green Bay gets three. (Heh heh.) We're not counting Green Bay's nine championships before there was a Super Bowl. When the game is over, put another one up in the appropriate spot.
Now for the TV. Buying a new TV this late in the game -- just for the big game -- likely constitutes an impulse buy. But if you're determined and you've saved up, our friends at dealnews.com offer a TV-buying guide. Also, while the Super Bowl won't be broadcast in 3-D this year, new 3-D TVs can convert the image -- with mixed results. For more about that, see this dealnews post.
OK, Pack fans, did I get it right? If you and the Steeler fans can add frugal and authentic ways to honor your team, please do so in the comments below.

I am 60. I was very depressed and suicidal for many years starting in grade school. I had ripping anxiety attacks in school around tests. I attempted suicide. I found a great therapist who helped me a lot. My major task seemed to be staying alive and hanging in there. I always had hope. Always. Finally when the SSRIs came out, my life began to really get better. I am grateful and proud of myself- I have wrestled this disease- this beast for a long time. It did not win. It will not win.
I still feel down sometimes- but NEVER suicidal- that vanished when I began the SSRIs- gone. Which was very sort of strange and surprising- and good- since I thought about it for decades a lot.
So now I'm 60- a miracle in itself. My life is still not easy. I am still prone to isolation and have not gotten to where I would like to be. But I am self sufficient (with a lot of help from many kind people) and standing on my feet. I had a couple of episodes of tipping into mania from too much meds. so it has been difficult.
I have found that DIFFICULT is worlds away from Depression- which for the most part I do not feel any more. So hang in there. I have a chronic illness you cannot see. I am dealing with it still one day at a time and extremely grateful for the chance to live my life feeling mostly better most of the time.
Proof that you can make it, just hang in there and get yourself some help!!!!!

Entryway Rack Using Plumbing Pipes
When we stopped by Driftwood a few weeks back, we couldn't help but notice the shelving and clothes racks made out of old plumbing pipes. Then Gregory followed up with a House Tour this past Friday that had an entire bookshelf made of the exact same materials.
The world is definitely trying to tell us something that everyone else already knows--plumbing pipes used as exposed storage/display looks great. Whether the pipes are rusty and weather beaten or shiny and bright, the result is always the same--chic but organic. We also love that they look sturdy and give off an industrial vibe but can be balanced out with a whimsical scarf or umbrella.

The hubby made me a pot rack with plumbing pipe and S-hooks, kind of a double version of picture #4. Wonderful.
Love it!
Half the world is trying to hide "ugly" pipes while the other half is now using them for decorating.
I do not think, in most cases, that pipes used as whatever, are attractive. I could maybe go for it in a steampunk kind of way, but even then, I'd like the pipes to be brass or something. The pipes used in the house tour are painted black. Everything here is galvanized. Coming off of a farm, I'm not a big fan of galvanized - all I can think of when I see it is the smell that comes off on your hands.
Hey - Another great hack today!
I like!
Another of my favorite uses for plumbing pipes: Drapery Rods.
This is actually my coat rack! I got it from Second Drafts, and get compliments on it from everyone who sees it. Glad Apartment Therapy enjoyed it enough to post! You can see more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seconddrafts/
All kinds of great re-purposed, refinished furniture and ideas.
So cute!
This is a really cool idea. I think I'm going to make one for my office. I wish there was a picture of the base. I'm assuming that the two vertical pipbytes either side of the umbrella just have floor flanges on them. Has anyone else attempted this?
That should say "two vertical pipes." #autocorrect

I was trying to figure out how to allow all my users /cgi-bin/ directories to permit cgi scripts. I came across the ScriptAliasMatch directive from the apache website.
There was a small tutorial that used pattern matching to catch /Users/(any user)/Sites/cgi-bin/(any script) I tested the printenv and test-cgi scripts from the /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/

kenyatta, the error that you're seeing isn't related to what you're doing with the ScriptAliasMatch - the error seems to be pretty common (a number of other people have told me about it). I can't duplicate it, and I've never seen the error before. I haven't had the time to Google for an answer either.
Regardless, based on what you've got for ScriptAliasMatch, you should be all set for Perl scripts (I've yet to run across a production level tcsh script to run over CGI).

My first turntable jam room as a boy was mostly underground save for two meters of windows looking into native bush. During windy Wellington storms the trees would wallop away at the glass threatening to break through. I would duet with the wind, rain and thumping plants – scratching in time or playing drones across the grain of the storm. We went off together!
Well, finally I've found a musician to take the role of the thunderstorm. Ben Knight has all of that same sound, fury and unpredictability. Improvising together can be a cacophony with our two entities seldom intersecting. However, when our playing does converge much to my delight Ben seems to know my next move even before I do! The tune Geronimo is one such occasion where we lock in together like an automotive assembly line.
The All Seeing Hand formed as a result of several Camp A Low Hum collaborations between Teen Hygiene and I. Geronimo is the first single of the debut album which documents our first incarnation as a turntable and drum duo. We have since added throat player Noel St Cosmos who brings a third reality into the mix. Please come and hear us play sometime – although different every time we do attempt this tune!

Timeless Hitter
Julio Franco, who totaled more than 3,300 hits in professional leagues, debuts on Hall of Fame ballot
By Craig Muder
December 14, 2012
Julio Franco broke into the major leagues as one of the most heralded prospects of the 1980s. He ended his career as the oldest player to hit a big league home run.
In between, Franco proved to be one of the most successful batters of his era. And today, Franco stands on the verge of Cooperstown as he debuts on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot.
"An MVP-type player, the kind of guy you build an infield around," said former Cleveland Indians manager Mike Ferraro, Franco's skipper when he became a regular with the Tribe in 1983.
Franco is one of 37 players on the 2013 Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot for the Class of 2013 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Franco is making his debut on the BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot.
BBWAA members who have at least 10 years of tenure with the organization can vote in the election, and the results will be announced Jan. 9. Any candidate who receives at least 75 percent of all BBWAA votes cast will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2013. The Induction Ceremony will be held July 28 in Cooperstown.
Franco was born Aug. 23, 1958 in the Dominican Republic, and attended high school in San Pedro de Marcoris, which – thanks to Franco's help – became known for producing big league shortstops throughout the 1980s. He was signed by the Phillies as an amateur free agent in 1978, despite the fact baseball was never his favorite sport.
"Basketball was my best sport," said Franco, who starred for his high school team as a guard. "I couldn't get enough."
But Franco continued to play pick-up baseball games at diamonds near his home, and he was spotted by a scout from the Phillies. Four minor league seasons later – after never failing to hit .300 and twice being named his team's Most Valuable Player – Franco reached the big leagues, playing 16 games for the Phillies in 1982 while shuttling back and forth to the minors.
But with Philadelphia having signed shortstop Ivan DeJesus to a long-term contract that year, the Phillies saw Franco as trade bait. Following the 1982 season, the Phillies acquired outfielder Von Hayes from the Indians for five players: Jay Baller, Manny Trillo, George Vukovich, Jerry Willard and – the centerpiece of the deal – Franco.
Franco immediately won the Indians' starting shortstop job, hitting .273 with 80 RBI and 32 stolen bases en route to a second-place finish in the 1983 AL Rookie of the Year vote. His unorthodox batting stance – with the bat pointed directly at the pitcher's mound – generated a whip-like action that resulted in line drives sprayed throughout the field.
Franco remained the Tribe's shortstop through the 1987 season, then moved to second base in 1988, where he posted his fourth season with at least 180 hits and won his first Silver Slugger Award.
"The hardest thing (about moving to second base)," Franco said, "was turning the double play."
But with the Indians entering a rebuilding phase, Franco was dealt to the Rangers before the 1989 season for youngsters Jerry Browne and Oddibe McDowell and first baseman Pete O'Brien.
With the Rangers, Franco was named to three straight AL All-Star teams, winning the All-Star Game MVP in 1990 and culminating in 1991 when he won the AL batting title with a .341 average.
"He is one of the best hitters I've ever seen," said former Indians general manager Joe Klein. "He knows exactly what he's doing up there."
Franco injured his knee in 1992, missing all but 35 games in 1992. He returned in 1993 to hit .289 with 84 RBI, then left the Rangers following the 1993 season to sign with the White Sox. As Chicago's designated hitter in 1994, Franco hit .319 with 20 homers and 98 RBI in just 112 games during that strike-shortened season.
With the strike still unsettled in December of 1994, Franco signed to play with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan's Pacific League. He returned to the United States in 1996 with the Indians, hitting .322 with 14 homers and 76 RBI as a part-time first baseman and DH. After splitting the 1997 season with Cleveland and Milwaukee, Franco spent 1998 back with Chiba Lotte and most of 1999 – save for one at-bat with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays – in the Mexican League.
He played pro ball in Korea in 2000 and again in the Mexican League in 2001 before signing with the Atlanta Braves at the tail end of the 2001 season.
In each of the next four seasons, the now 40-plus Franco appeared in at least 103 games a season with Atlanta, playing first base against mostly left-handed pitching while hitting .291. During this time, Franco was the oldest player in the big leagues – but he was productive enough to earn a two-year, $2.2 million deal with the Mets for 2006 and 2007.
Franco set a record (which he eventually extended) by hitting a home run on April 20, 2006 – becoming, at 47, the oldest player in big league history to hit a home run. Franco is also the oldest player in big league history to hit a grand slam.
The Mets released Franco midway through the 2007 season, but he hooked on with the Braves for the remainder of the year. After starting out the 2008 season in the Mexican League, Franco retired for good early in that season.
He finished his big league career with a .298 batting average, 2,586 hits, 1,285 runs scored and 407 doubles. He was named to three All-Star teams, won five Silver Slugger Awards (four at second base and one at DH) and retired as the all-time hits leader among natives of the Dominican Republic (since passed by Vladimir Guerrero).
Factoring in his seasons in Japan, the Mexican League and in Korea, Franco totaled more than 3,300 professional hits.

I was so delighted by the Kate Christensen recipe I'm making a version of it here that reflects my way of cooking. Is it a repeat? That's part of the point—the best dishes in your repertoire are ones you do over and over. Indeed, Christensen wrote about it in a novel, and then wrote about it again in a memoir, and has made it for real herself, so it obviously bears repeating. As do all good recipes. And this one is not only supremely tasty and therefore a pleasure to eat, it's also deeply nourishing, especially if you use your own stock. I was also intrigued by a few commenters who did not like the narrative recipe, a recipe without ingredient list and numbered steps, but with writerly flourishes—"fragrant brown spice puddle"—which of course I Read On »

Kate Christensen is exactly the kind of woman I would spend all my time trying to bed if I weren't already married to The Most Wonderful Woman in the World. She's hot, with the most beguiling eyes, and expressions, I've encountered (we once shared a stage at the Key West Literary Seminar); she's smart as lightening, and she writes fabulous books. Readers of this site, if you haven't read Epicure's Lament, put it next on your list, followed by The Great Man, which inspired the below recipe. That's right: a fictional scene generated this most delicious North African–style chicken stew, a version of which I made for Donna on Saturday. It's also a lesson in the way recipes ought to be written and followed. Christensen's most recent book, a memoir, Blue Plate Special, began as a Read On »

How to use your miso paste more in your kitchen, try this miso glazed eggplant, via NYT.
After giving me a lesson in how thin I needed to roll the dough to make a proper knish, my neighbor Lois sat down with me in my kitchen to tape the audio for a planned iPad app called The Book of Schmaltz. I had intended to use only the audio, but now that the app is temporarily unavailable because of the publication of the hardcover book, I find Lois's words too engaging (and funny) to hide. And so here I present her thoughts on schmaltz, chicken fat rendered with onion, against the backdrop of our messy kitchen backdoor area. She is an articulate woman who waxes beautiful on this most ethereal of fats. And, from this humble goy to Jews far and wide, L'Shanah Tovah. May your year be fruitful and filled with schmaltzy goodness. Read On »

Love Got A Hold On Me
Loves got a hold on me and it won't let me be.
When i go to bed at night its right there with me.
Tucking me in bed with warm feelings of love telling me.
My child don't worry All will be well Putting me
Right to sleep with sweet Dreams of my love and me.
When i wake up in the morning it alarms me so loud.
When it calls out my name.
It just wakes me right out of my sleep.
I am awake but yet in a Daze from a gaze
of True Love that won't never fade away.

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 175lbs
T/B: Right/Right
Scouting Report: According to PerfectGame.com Faria has a "Taller body, thin lean build, projectable body, 3/4 arm slot, long arm action, arm speed, loose arm, occasional armside run on FB, some down plane, online delivery, some late effort, sink FB, 11/5 CB, sink CH, can stay back longer, projects."
Additionally, since high school, Faria has increased his FB velocity, capable of reaching 93 MPH on the gun. He prefers a two-seam fast-ball with great drop. Groundballs are his signature method of outing hitters.
2011: Pitched 15.2 innings for the GCL Rays in 6 appearances. Posted a 2.87 ERA with a 0-1 win-loss record. Walked only one batter and struck out 14 hitters. Good for 8 K's per 9 innings. Posted a WHIP of 1.02.
Faria attended Gahr H.S. It is considered one of the most ethnically diverse high school's in the nation with a minority rate of 70%. Same high school as Jim Zorn.
At Gahr, his ERA was 1.75 in three varsity seasons. 18-3 record in 21 total starts.
After his senior year before signing with Tampa Bay, he was committed to BWC powerhouse Cal. State Fullerton.
Willie Gabay- RHP
2012 Draft: Round 15: 482nd Overall: Herkimer County Community College (N.Y.)
6'1"-180lbs Throws: R
Willie Gabay is a solid presence on the mound. Having pitched at Herkimer County Community College in New York, he tossed 58 + plus innings allowing only 38 hits while striking out a whopping 91 batters. He also finished his spring campaign with a shining 6-1 record and a 2.62 ERA.
2012 All Mountain Valley Conference Baseball Team and named a First Team All-Division III performer
Head Scout of Prospect Nation cites Gabay as "Very athletic…with a good arm." Gabay brings a solid low-90 MPH fastball to his arsenal that also includes a changeup and slider. Gabay is at times wild on the mount, a negative trait that the Rays may play to his advantage after bringing him into the minor league system.
Gabay was originally at Austin Peay and was a track and field athlete. In fact he was a First-Team All-Northern County in 55-meter hurdles in high school and posted nation's 17th best time of 2009 in 200-meter hurdles (28.34) according to MileSplit US.
Guerrero, Joan- LHP
Born: 1/22/91-- San Pedro de Macorís, DR
Acquired: Signed as a free agent on July 4th, 2007
Throws: Left
Weight: 170
Height: 6' 2"
Scouting Report: Having played three plus years in the Rays DSL, the road to the official minor league system for Guerrero was not taken without ultimate caution. He posted a 4.34 ERA with a 7-15 record from 2008-2011, including a 1-5 win/loss split with a 6.68 ERA in the GCL last season, that included 12 total appearances in 31.0 innings. Baseball News Network notes that Guerrero has an 89-90 MPH fastball and his superior category is movement coupled with the advantage of throwing left-handed. His location is seen as questionable although he has totaled 89 walks in almost 200 innings pitched for his career. Additionally, Guerrero has produced 48% of his outs via the groundball signaling an ability to keep the ball low in the hitting zone. His most notable pitches are a cut-fastball, fastball, and changeup and he has three option years left on his contract.
Kevin James- LHP
Pedro Silvestre- RHP
Blake Snell- LHP
Bruedlin Suero- LHP
Jonathan Weaver- RHP
Round 21: 662nd Overall: Central Michigan University: Franklin Park, Illinois (East Leyden (Ill.) H.S.)
6'3": 216lbs
Throws R
A 17th Round selection by the Chicago White Sox in the 2008 Major League Draft, Jon Weaver is a tall and lanky bullpen arm that bounced back from a rocky 2011 to become one of the premier relief pitchers in the Mid-American Conference for the 2012 campaign.
Weaver led the Chippewas pitching staff with 26 appearances this season, including only one run allowed for the final half of those outings. He notched seven saves as a shut down closer and completed his final season in the collegiate ranks with a 2.66 ERA, all the while improving his location and velocity as another relief arm in the Rays minor league ranks.
Rays Digest Interview: (Weaver on his Pitch Arsenal)
"I throw four pitches: a sinker that generally sits 91-93 and can get up to 94. I also throw a modified circle changeup that has good depth and run at times and that I can keep down in the zone. I throw both a slider and a curveball, with the slider being the better of the two and the curveball as more of a show-me pitch."

Julian Morillo
Redman, Reid- 3B
Round 23: 722nd Overall: 2B Reid Redman: Texas Tech: Midland, TX
6'1": 190lbs
-Scrappy and productive are two adjectives that apply to the game brought by Big-12 third baseman Reid Redman. With father Dale Redman, a four-year letterman and career .325 hitter as his mentor, the path to Texas Tech was more difficult than most for Redman who transferred from Midland College after his sophomore season.
Redman's game improved dramatically from high school at Midland as he compiled a .360 batting average in his sophomore season before transferring to the Div. I level.
In Lubbock, Redman has appeared in 92 total contests, batting a combined .322 in two seasons with a noteworthy .389 OBP. In his junior season he committed only one error defensively. Redman came back for another great season his senior year after breaking a bone in his left foot in March. In his senior season, Redman finished at a .325 batting average clip, including 41 hits in just 34 total games.

Exercise is an important weapon in controlling many diseases; however, a new study suggests the type of exercise makes a difference.
According to a study published in the scientific journal, PLOS one, slow and steady movements are more beneficial in improving cholesterol than intense workouts.
Researchers put 18 people on three separate exercise programs.
After each regimen, researchers checked participants' blood cholesterol levels and insulin sensitivity.
Participants who walked or stood had lower insulin sensitivity and cholesterol levels, than the group that did the intense cycling.

Friday, March 18, 1881: A message for the ladiesPosted on April 30th, 2006 – 10:16 PM
By Ben Welter
When I stumbled across this Minneapolis Tribune story, my first reaction was to squirrel it away for timely release on St. Patrick's Day. But it's about more than a religious holiday. It's a chance to see the world through the eyes of Thomas Langdon Grace, the second bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The South Carolina native, a member of the Order of St. Dominic, was installed in 1859 and served till his retirement in 1884.
On St. Patrick's Day 1881, he addressed a crowd gathered outside the bishop's residence in St. Paul, across from the Cathedral on Sixth Street. He spoke of the great famine that had plagued Ireland, praised the mettle of the Irish people, applauded local efforts to assist them – and admonished women not to get involved in "discussion of questions foreign to their minds."
Bishop Grace's Address – Condemnation
of Ladies' Land-Leagues.
|The Rev. Thomas Langdon Grace, second bishop of St. Paul.
Thirty years ago the first celebration of St. Patrick's day in the then territory of Minnesota was observed by about fifty or sixty persons in front of the old Central House on Minnesota and Bench streets, and in the evening by a supper at John Rogers', on Robert street. The annual celebrations of succeeding years, with immense parades, feasts and frolics, were finally abandoned, upon the advice of Bishop Ireland and others of the clergy, who felt that such celebrations led to excess, and since then the observance of the day has consisted mostly of church services and evening reunions under auspices of the clergy. One fixed feature of the day in St. Paul is a visit to venerable Bishop Grace by the Catholic societies and congregations of the city.
Yesterday, after the services at the Cathedral, Sixth street, in front of the bishop's residence, and the Wabasha and St. Peter street crossings, were densely crowded. At 12:20 Bishop Grace appeared at the door of the residence and Mr. Timothy read the annual address, in which he alluded to the condition of affairs in Ireland and the co-operation of all classes and all creeds in the effort to secure the rights of the people against their oppressors – the English landlords. Michael McCarthy, a young lad of about 16 years, and president of the cathedral cadets, next came forward and spoke a neat address of congratulation to the bishop, and concluded by asking his blessing upon the cadets.
Bishop Grace then delivered an extempore address, which, it is needless to say, was most intently listened to. He commenced by thanking them very sincerely for this manifestation of their love and appreciation. My trust in you, he said, as a body, has never flagged, and my gratification to see that you are still attached to the church is very great. It was very gratifying for him to meet them on this anniversary of St. Patrick, and especially so when thinking of the past condition of Ireland. He alluded to the condition of the Irish people a year ago as then truly sad. A great famine then prevailed, and was sweeping off a large portion of the population, which had fortunately been stayed by the generosity of friends the world over. That has passed away, and for its removal the thanks of all were due to a beneficent and all-wise Providence. But even this famine had had its beneficial effects. The eyes of the civilized world were fixed on the wrongs done to the people and their attention drawn to the fact that the periodical calamities which from time to time afflicted Ireland were due and traceable to the oppression of the English landlords. The verdict of the civilized world has been pronounced and the government brought face to face with the iniquities of England's administration of that country. The advantages of this result cannot be overestimated. But this has not been accomplished without the action of the Irish people themselves, who have borne themselves nobly in spite of the injustice of English legislation and the palpable misgovernment to which it led.
For the first time for a long series of years we see the Irish people united – all parties, all factions and all creeds – united in the determination that these wrongs to Ireland shall be righted. If the friends of Ireland continued to adhere to the principles which have heretofore governed them, it must necessarily follow that success will crown their efforts. If unfortunately they shall forsake the right course and enter upon a wrong policy, they can neither expect success nor the world's sympathy.
"I have the utmost confidence in the prudence and policy of the leaders now engaged in the cause, and my confidence in them is still unshaken. Those of us in St. Paul who are engaged in aiding the cause will not, I know well enough, lend their influence to the violation of the principles of right and justice.
"But there is one thing in St. Paul from which I must withhold my approval. It is the forming of ladies' leagues. There is something repulsive in this calling out of the mothers and daughters from their homes to form leagues and political clubs for the discussion of questions foreign to their minds, their training and their duties as mothers of families and guides to their daughters. This forming of ladies' leagues, I am glad to say, did not originate with the women themselves. It is foreign to their womanly instincts and an infringement upon the sacredness of the home life.
"If you wish the co-operation of woman, let it be fixed some other way. You need not be afraid of a lack of sympathy on their part or of any failure of a proper appreciation by them of the wrongs and injustice done to the Irish people. Leave them to the expression of their feelings in their own way, which you can trust will be earnest and unmistakably in favor of the right and in condemnation of the wrong. And do not force them to adopt the ways of men by holding public meetings at night and discussing subjects of which they know nothing. I thank you for the honor you have done me in making this call this morning."
At the conclusion of the bishop's address Father Shanley was called for, and delivered a humorous but stirring address, after which the crowd dispersed.
The celebration of the day ended last evening, with entertainments at the Opera House and at Pfeifer's Hall, both of which were crowded.
|Here's what the Cathedral of St. Paul and the bishop's residence — at Sixth Street between Wabasha and St. Peter — looked like around 1860. The first mass in the modest cathedral, St. Paul's third, was celebrated in 1858. Construction costs totaled $33,647. (Photo by Rodolph Ransom, courtesy mnhs.org)

"I would like a tour or at least an explanation of all the floors and the major sections that apply to me as a freshman. Also, I would like a demonstration of the computer research that reflects something I, a FRESHMAN, would do. Not a big winded deal, just a review on the parts that are immediately useful for me."
"I think we need a tour, not a presentation."
"Where everything physically is. The demo didn't include a tour, or even a map, of the library."
"I would have liked to have had a more hands on in class with the Instructional. I would like to know in general more about finding different sources."
"If you do presentations, don't make them bland. Make them interactive."
"Tour would have been helpful, rather than an impersonal tour of the library web page for 1 hour - it proved useless."
"It would be great if there was a handout on how to use the library resources both online and those in the building like microfilm, locating books, etc. A handout similar to what OIT has in the computer clusters, possibly."
"Clearer explanation of how to find things. We did not go on a tour of the building, which would have been helpful."
"I think a handout telling us how to use the online resources and electronic databases would be helpful." "I would like to know how the journal section is organized."
"I thought the tour was helpful, but it was too rushed. To benefit even more, I think a couple days without having to cram in information would increase library use."
"I'm still not sure how to find anything through the library website, but that's what I always try."
"Maybe library maps would be helpful."
"I just need a better understanding of what's on each floor."
"I think you should take more time w/ describing how to use the library catalog and which database to search."
"The information you gave us was helpful. If you could maybe print up a one page sheet that outlines the steps to using the library databases that would be excellent."
"I thought it was a helpful session, just maybe some more hands on work would be beneficial to really get to know the different programs."
"I'm comfortable with the electronic resources - but still daunted by the huge number of paper books and how to find them."
"I often need help with keywords. I would also like to know more about the other resources in the library and how to specifically use them, such as microfilm."
"I would like to know more about the actions to take when I find a resource - but it's not available at the library. Also, knowing how to narrow my search more - to find sources located at the library."
"I think the library should offer a program that meets once a week to help with research projects. They should help you with finding good resources online and in the library."
"The library is confusing and overwhelming. The instructional session was confusing. It really didn't help much."
"I would like to know how I could get help in narrowing down my selection and refining my search to find really good articles that will go along with own research fairly well."
"How to choose keywords to search online databases to find the information I am seeking."
"I especially just need to know about finding journals."
"I would like better information about how to access the journal articles and also how to utilize the collections."
"I get the sense that there is a lot of information that I don't know how to access."
"Maybe a small booklet with details and info about the different things available via the net. Should provide it to students like a phone directory."
"I don't know where anything is in the library. Card catalog, theology books, etc. A big tour would have been helpful."
"Everything that has been presented to me has been very helpful, not much else. Maybe a better understanding of book location."
"More about electronic resources."
"The hardest part was key words to look up in order to get useful information."
"I'm still confused about locating specific journals, etc. on the catalog in the library. I'm not sure also how to do a thorough search to make sure I get all the best materials for a topic. I've also had problems still trying to use electronic resources on my own."
"I would like a map of where different subjects books are and a diagram of these locations."
"How to thinking of better key words. Finding key words."

Party Poison4 Reviews
Gerard lands himself in a bit of trouble.
Frank was up earlier than everyone else. It was about 6 AM. He was about to go have a bit of breakfast when something stopped him dead in his tracks.
The sound of sobbing came from the outer part of the bus. Frank knew those sobs. That slightly high pitched wail and that meek sniffle. He used to hear them all the time when the band first started out. He had forgotten how much he hated that sound. He had forgotten how it made him feel a tinge of illness. How his heart would break just a little bit with every gasp or sputter.
So why the hell had it made its return?
Frank tiptoed quietly forward, careful not to be seen or heard. Slowly Gerard came more and more into view. He was huddled into a ball, curled up on the couch. His shoulders were shuddering violently. His face was buried in his knees which was probably the only reason he hadn't seen Frank.
Frank wasn't sure what to do. He knew this was probably about Lindsey. He had heard him mumbling her name in his sleep on nights before this. Yet Frank just felt like he couldn't quite understand Gerard lately. Maybe he should just let him work this out on his own.
Perhaps breakfast should come a bit later, Frank figured. He turned around and crept back to bed, the voice in his head telling him he was making a big mistake by walking away.
Gerard disappeared after the show that night. He slinked away from the rest of them in the dressing room, meeting up with Paul. Paul had driven up to see Gerard again, and he wanted to introduce him to some friends.
Paul took him to a nightclub not too far away. His ears filled with techno and happy hardcore music. He couldn't hear a thing as Paul blabbed on. Gerard just nodded his head and smiled. They headed towards where his friends were.
It was a group only 3 other people by the bar. They all greeted him with visible, but not audible enthusiasm. He was bought a cocktail immediately.
The rest of the night was a blur of strobe lights, repetitive noise, and sweat. Paul took him to the dance floor, and Gerard got a good buzz going in order to loosen up. Paul was aggressive. He rubbed his own pelvis against Gerard's leg quite a bit. He grabbed Gerard's ass roughly, squeezing it. Gerard tried to keep up, and as a result ended up drenched in so much sweat, he didn't know whose sweat he was covered in, Paul's or his own.
Paul continued to rub against him, and Gerard thought he might have felt an extra pair of hands squeezing his ass. He tried to enjoy it, but something didn't feel right.
His heart was racing faster than it should have. Faster than the strobe lights that were violently blinking, blinding him. He suddenly felt exhausted. He wanted to grab Paul and tell him he wanted to leave, but he couldn't seem to control his mouth or his hands. Gerard suddenly felt very detached. Sounds were coming at him as though an echo from the end of a tunnel. Lights were a blurry blaze of neon colors.
He didn't know how he kept standing. It felt as though he would black out one second and come back the next. Perhaps Paul was holding him up. He could feel his arm around him. Or at least, someone's arm. He had only very few terrifying windows of clarity where he knew someone had put something in his drink.
It wasn't long before he lost those windows completely and he collapsed; powerless and at the mercy of those around him.
Mikey had his face buried in his hands. Ray rubbed his back sympathetically. Frank was looking frantically out of the window. They were being driven very slowly down the streets of Washington, Seattle, searching for Gerard. A friend had agreed to drive them around the area in his car for a little while. It had already been 6 hours since they had last seen Gerard, and calls to his cellphone were going straight to voicemail.
Frank was about to remind Mikey that he needed to keep his eyes peeled when Ray screamed at them to stop. They all jumped out of their skins at the sound of his voice. They had been sitting in silent tension so long, any noise would have made them jump. The car came to a screeching halt, and Ray pointed to the left of them.
A figure was stumbling and wobbling down the sidewalk nearby. It was dark, but a streak of red had caught Ray's eye.
"Gerard!" Frank screamed, hoping out of the only semi - parked car. Mikey and Ray scrambled after him.
Frank caught up with Gerard and grabbed him by the shoulders, as he looked as though he was about to fall over. He only had to take one look at him to know, his drug free streak had ended. Gerard was high.
Mikey and Ray caught on pretty fast as well. Mikey looked like he was on the verge of tears.
"I can't fucking believe you Gee...." Mikey shook his head before turning back to return to the car. Ray sighed and helped Frank guide Gerard back to the car as well. Gerard was quiet, and Frank shot him a worried glance. He really looked out of it.
As they seated him down, Frank also spotted a dark puddle of something weirdly purple on Gerard's neck, partly hidden by the collar of his shirt. It was hard to examine, as it was still dark out. Frank pondered if it was a hickey.... or a bruise. He was going to move Gerard's collar aside to get a closer look at it, but was hindered when Gerard suddenly plopped his head heavily on Frank's shoulder.
"Frankie..." he heard him mumble softly.
Frank sighed, wrapped an arm around him and stroked his arm soothingly. He whispered, "Hey Gee. You're going to be okay...I'll make sure of it."

"This was the perfect design for a gender neutral shower that said baby without being cutsey, That is hard to find! So glad that we found this card, it suits our mom to be perfectly."
"I used this design for my daughters 3rd birthday party. So cute, easy to customize and the items arrived DAYS before expected (an added bonus!!) Everyone loved the invites. I would highly recommend"
"Our 4 year old son wanted a "scary but not spooky" costume party for his birthday and chose these invitations himself. He loved them and I have to agree with him. We got rave reviews from the invitees as well! The cardstock is great quality, and they arrived about a week earlier than I expected which was fantastic. Another great product and excellent service from Tiny Prints!"
"Not only did I just loooove the quality and design of these invitations, but they shipped very fast! I got them before any of the other decorations/gifts/favors I ordered for a baby shower. The design is so simple but so chic. highly recommended."
"Had tiny print print my return address. Such a time and hand saver. Only problem is they didn't print last number of zip code. Also I wish the back of this card was orange and not white other than that love them"

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
December 27, 2007
Albany - - The national housing slump continues and Georgia is one of the hardest hit states.
Georgia had the third highest number of home foreclosures last month behind only California and Michigan, states with much higher populations.
Atlanta, St. Louis, and Detroit are among the cities with the most foreclosures.
Housing research firm, Realty-trac says in November 2006, there were more than 120,000 foreclosure filings nationwide. But this November, the number sky-rocketed to 200,000.
The government is trying to help. The Federal Housing Administration is refinancing loans for tens of thousands of homeowners at risk of foreclosure due to climbing rates.
President Bush also has a plan to freeze interest rates up to five years for some sub-prime borrowers.

WaPost: Next Struggling Paper Planning Paywall
December 9, 2012 | Filed Under Business, Capitalism, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Jobs, Journalism, Liberals, Media, Media Bias, Newspapers, Progressives, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Washington Post is poised to initiate a paywall in 2013. The Post is one of the last major American papers to look into putting some parts of its publication behind a subscriber only Internet screen.
The Wall Street Journal reports that The Washington Post is preparing a "metered paywall" for its Internet site. A metered paywall allows readers to see a few articles per month before blocking any more access and informing the visitor that he must pay to read further.
But ahead of this new attempt to improve revenue, ThePost has been seeing a steep decrease in earnings.
The Post is dealing with a steep decline in its core business of print advertising. Its newspaper division reported an operating loss of $56.3 million for the first nine months of the year, reflecting a 14% decline in revenue to $160.7 million. The company lost its chief revenue officer in the spring, and the search for a replacement continues.
The Post has seen quite a lot of trouble recently with a shake up in leadership as publisher Katherine Weymouth canned executive editor Marcus Brauchi and replaced him with the former editor of the Boston Globe, Marty Baron.
The abrupt shake up caused The New York Times to launch a scathing take down of Weymouth's leadership saying she was "overseeing the decline of one of journalism's crown jewels."
Thus far few of these paywalls have seen great financial success. The Minneapolis Star Tribune, for instance, has experienced a new online subscriber rate that only measures up to 5.7% of its print subscriber base, New York's Newsday has seen a paltry 1,000 subscribers sign up and this week The Daily announced that it is shutting its iPad service down entirely despite that it was once touted as the best way to save the news industry.
The New York Times tried it once, dumped the idea, and is now trying it a second time. Though The Times' latest attempt at walling off some content from free access, however, has thus far been considered a successful venture.
But ad revenues have fallen by half since 2005 and the newspaper industry has been bleeding cash and laying off staffers in every corner of the country. Finances have gotten so bad that many long-established, legacy newspapers have been forced to sell off their showplace headquarters buildings and move into cheaper digs.
Of course, most of these papers share a similar liberal point of view. As the Old Media establishment fades each day with revenues in freefall, one wonders why none of them have tried to just report the news honestly and see if that might help reverse their downward spiral?
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."
–Samuel Johnson
