MAN OF STEEL Director Zack Snyder Talks Superman's Flying and His "Ancient" Approach to Designing
We all waited a while to see the first footage from Man of Steel since the film started production in the fall of 2011. We're getting closer to the release date and we learned more about Zack Znyder's new perspective on Superman. The director recently admitted to the backlash he received when it was first announced that he would be directing the new Superman movie, and now we have a new interview where Snyder talks more in depth about how he approached the "Superman flying" scenes and creating the planet of Krypton. Also, he spoke about the first time he saw Henry Cavill in the suit.
Snyder spoke to SFX though CBM about how he made the scenes in Man of Steel where Superman flies:
"It's a more violent experience. It's raw. It takes effort to do it, and that's what we were really going for. It's almost like there's this kind of Right Stuff quality to it. He's constantly booming around, accelerating. You think he's going as fast as he can and then it's like 'Yeeaahh!' He's always got an extra gear he can use."
We saw planet Krypton in full, and the filmmaker spoke about his design for Superman's home world:
"I really wanted my Krypton to be this kind of special place that's immersive and totally different from Earth, but not unbelievable. And ancient. I really wanted to give this ancient feeling to Krypton. I love technology that's rusty because it's so old. It's so advanced, but it's so old. That was the kind of world that I tried to create. A dying world that's ancient and torn apart."
Lastly, Snyder explained why Cavill was the right actor for the job to step into Supes' tights as he remembered a story about seeing the actor in the costume for the first time:
"God, he's so Supermanish it's crazy! There was a telling moment – we put him in the Christopher Reeve costume, because we didn't have a suit yet, we just had the old spandex suit. He stepped out of the trailer and no one laughed. It's the difference between being Superman and dressing up like Superman. If I'm dressed up like Superman it's like a Halloween costume. If you're Henry it's your clothes. It's awesome. Watch the movie and you're like 'Holy shit, that's Superman.' And it's not weird or crazy, it's just cool."
Cavill looks complete in the finished version of the costume, but we see much of his actual performance in the film's trailers. All information will be revealed soon so brace yourselves for Man of Steel in theaters on June 14th.

MG Siegler, a blogger at TechCrunch, takes a whack at Mashable and tech blogging in general for their capitalistic opportunism of the Osama Bin Laden news now that advertising dollars are beginning to ramp up online.
Is there some type of competitive rivalry going on here? Perhaps. But his question of business ethics and gaming the news and search engines in order to make money with SEO land grabs is something that is surely not relegated to the tech world.
The national tragedy question aside, do savvy operators undercut their own business in the long run in order to make short-term business gains? What kind of ethical responsibilities, if any, do businesses and news outlets like Mashable have in making sure their results don't crowd out the most relevant news for quick access? What does Google owe its customer's when businesses flood the search market with results?
From parislemon:
The information in the image above is not surprising at all. But still pathetic.
Imagine that, you write 35 200-word posts featuring the words "Bin Laden" in the headline and they pull in traffic on the day it's one of the most searched terms ever.
Were any of those stories really about technology? A few, maybe. But none were given the actual attention that a story of such magnitude deserves. It was a pure traffic/SEO play.

At the heart of my Christian faith is the belief that each and every person I encounter is absolutely cherished by God. I believe every human being is ineffably sacred in God's sight. This implies a moral responsibility on my part to do my very best to treat them accordingly. If God loves each person, followers of God's way must love each person too.
This is a mystical vision. It is a mountaintop perspective. It is very hard to sustain it, especially in the vicious street fights of politics. And it is often very hard to see any evidence for it. But this belief is not really evidence-based. It is faith-based.
I am a Christian, born and raised in the Catholic Church before a teenage conversion to Protestant Evangelical faith. By now I find that both strands of my religious history are deeply interwoven and help to define who I am. I think that both of these strands, at their best, teach this vision of the equal and immeasurable worth of each human being. Catholic tradition, especially as articulated by the Vatican II documents and by Pope John Paul II, taught me a "consistent pro-life ethic." Protestant evangelicalism, as exemplified in men such as Billy Graham, taught me that God so loved the world (each and every person in the world) that he gave his only son on the cross for our salvation. For my salvation!
I am also a Christian ethicist, a moral teacher, and writer. So inevitably my work brings me into occasions in which it is my responsibility and my opportunity to address hot-button issues like abortion, health care, war, torture, or gay rights.
Most conversations about these kinds of issues are profoundly unsatisfactory to me. Academic conversations tend to be highly technical, theoretical, and irrelevant to everyday life. Popular conversations tend to be angry and polemical, partisan and politicized. Neither type of conversation ever really feels very sacred to me. Academics are often scoring their tenure points while politicos are scoring their partisan points.
Over the years, I have tried to do something a little different when I engage difficult issues such as abortion. I try to play neither academic nor political games. I instead try to discern what it might mean to deal with the substance of the issue as if every person involved is sacred in God's sight, and I likewise try to deal with my dialogue partners as if the same were true.
When I met Frances Kissling and dialogued publicly with her at the Princeton "Open Hearts, Open Minds" conference, I hope that this is the spirit that I brought to that conversation.
I saw in Frances and most of the pro-choice activists and thinkers at that meeting a serious concern for women in general, and women facing unwanted pregnancies in particular. I could tell that they were drawn into this issue because they had caught a vision of the suffering of women whose pregnancies create a crisis for them, and the even more intense crisis that this would be for them if they had no legal recourse to an abortion. Their fixed gaze on the needs and the suffering of women impressed me, and I respected it. Anyone who cares deeply about the suffering of other people is on the right track — because that is one of the ways we demonstrate our love for the sacred persons around us.
I do continue to think that our gaze on this issue must be at least bi-focal — on the suffering pregnant woman, and on the developing human life that she is carrying. I do sense that decades of defending the rights and needs of the pregnant woman have trained many in the pro-choice side to avert their eyes from the child. But I also recognize on the part of many pro-lifers the parallel averting of gaze away from the woman and her situation as she experiences it. Decades of advocacy in a polarized debate have caused both sides to miss the intertwined sacredness of woman and child. And it is certainly clear to me that the only way those whose gaze is fixed on the child will succeed in saving more of them is if they learn not only to look at the woman, but to love her.
This vision goes with me to other issues. I have been an advocate for the apparently astonishing view that no matter how much we want to prevent another terrorist attack that would destroy sacred human lives; this does not mean we are free to create a system that abuses suspected terrorists — because those swept up as suspected terrorists are also sacred human beings whom God loves. This view shapes my thinking about the right of all our nation's children to have a good education, quality health care, and parents who love them. And it means that I refuse to go along with the contemptuous demonization of particular groups that sometimes sweeps us away — most recently exhibited in very disturbing anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim hysteria.
I find allies anywhere I encounter someone whose words and deeds show that they are operating on the basis of something like this vision. Often, sadly, these allies are not my fellow Christians, for sometimes the passionate commitment of my co-religionists to the positions they advocate causes them to forget their obligation to love even strangers and enemies. No, in public life, my favorites are those who surprise me with the tender and respectful way they encounter the sacred humanity of those around them. They give me hope.

The popular iPhone gaming app Pocket God, which has sold more than two million units, is making its way to Facebook. What character will this take in a social gaming atmosphere, I can only imagine. But I'm sure my newsfeed pipe will feel the constriction of arterial plaque.
If you're unfamiliar with the game, Ben Parr of Mashable gives a good summary:
"The game focuses on giving the user god-like powers over islanders known as Pygmies. Since they obey the user's every whim, players can be benevolent and give the Pygmies food and fire or be vengeful and summon thunderstorms, hurricanes and T-Rexes."
I'll admit that I've played this game once for a very short time. I'll be curious to see how the player's social circle of friends on Facebook join in, rebuke, or challenge that said friend when they see him or her be particularly vindictive or "immoral" within the confines of the game. It could be an interesting avenue for conversation about how the player exercises power. Any thoughts from more experienced social gamers?Comments

Oftentimes we hear from guests after a show has been released. But, it's always by way of a direct email to one of our producers or to Krista herself. So, imagine my surprise this past Saturday when I saw this awfully gracious submission to our show on stem cells from the centering voice of that conversation, Dr. Doris Taylor herself:
"Being on your show has significantly impacted what I do and how I do it.
It forced me to think about my truths in a different way, and connected me with people who otherwise I would not have known — who in some way seem touched by our work. That is a humbling experience when it happens once or twice, but, when it happens over and over, it is life changing…
I remain grateful for your willingness to share yourself and make it possible for people like me to do likewise. Thank you Krista."
I also used my reply to her as an opportunity to follow up with a question several listeners have wondered about: the recent news of the first human embryonic stem cell line created at the University of Michigan. Her response:
"I fully believe getting enough cells will be the rate-limiting step to building organs. Think about it, the human heart has hundreds of billions of cells in it. Having to grow those in the lab is daunting. But as they say, if it were easy, someone else would have done it."

Ice skating in London
Get your skates on at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
Gliding around an open-air rink, arm in arm with a lover or best friend, is possibly the most romantic thing you can do in winter - at least until you fall over. Alice Walker selects her favourite ice-skating experiences in the UK, from club nights on ice at Somerset House to making figure-of-eights among the plant life at the Eden Project
Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, London
This winter, the south end of Hyde Park will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland. The Christmas Markets will have more than 100 stalls full of potential stocking-fillers, Father Christmas will be in attendance for children, and if you want great views of London by night, then hop aboard the giant observation wheel. But the centrepiece is the charming ice rink around the Victorian bandstand. Once dark, the rink will be lit with thousands of lights, accompanied by a suitably cheesy Christmas soundtrack to get you in the festive mood. Once you've had enough skating, there are various cafés and bars to put your feet up in; we love the Carousel Bar, which revolves as you sip mulled wine. And keep your eyes peeled for celebrity skaters: Kate Moss and Chris Martin are said to be fans.
Open 22 November 2013 - 5 January 2014

Danwon High School resumes all classes on MondayUpdated: 2014-04-28 23:02:29 KST
A grief-stricken Danwon High School resumes classes for all grades on Monday.
The school has been closed since the tragic ferry accident on April 16th.
Only the senior class was in school last week.
On Monday, the freshmen class and the 13 second-year students who did not go on the ill-fated field trip return to a school that has suffered a devastating loss.
To help students cope with the tragedy, the school offers various kinds of counseling support.
The special programs will be led by dozens of psychotherapists and art therapists.
The 75 second-year students who survived the disaster remain on leave and it has not yet been decided when they will return to their studies.
The decision will be made by doctors and the students' parents, who will also discuss programs for helping them cope with the loss of their classmates.
"It is better for them to be together. One of the common programs in a situation like this is to have a camp for the students."
The parents of the surviving students plan to have their children participate in such a healing program, which will be staffed by therapists, medical doctors and education experts.

"I ordered escort cards late prior to my wedding. I was able to expedite shipping. They were received on time and the quality was great."
"I love that the theme is so well represented on all the pieces of the suites. The tree tale is gorgeous. It is even more beautiful in person."
"This escort card is cute and whimsical, just what I was looking for. Quality of everything is great and just as expected. Got to me quickly since there wasn't really much personalization I was doing."
"Perfectly simple and elegant. On a related note, keep in mind that if you think you might order extra cards at some point, order them earlier with your original batch. For example, we ordered invitations with enclosure cards, and then needed to order more enclosure cards about a month later (with different dates on them for people we invited in "round 2"). The second set of enclosure cards were the exact same paper, but the colour of the ink was off from our original order (the shades were noticeably brighter). So, while the quality was always excellent, order everything you think you might need all at one time to avoid any differences in ink colours, etc."
"I was so happy with these escort cards. I searched high and low from multiple sources and these were exactly what i wanted- simple design perfect for a formal reception. If you are going to DIY, just get a high quality writing pen and you will be pleased!"

On a warm day in June 2009, Freedom and Summer arrived at Animal Place. Two small forms - one emaciated and frail, one bold without a tail. Both orphans of the dairy industry, unwanted male calves disposed of at auction.
Freedom was born with a congenital defect - no tail. He would require lifelong special care - loving caregivers would traipse the property to find him and apply special creams to protect him from flies and infection.
Freedom is one of many bovines born into the dairy industry with a virus called BLV (Bovine Leukemia Virus). Around 80% of dairy farms have cows with this virus. In some animals, no symptoms develop. But in other animals, especially those with compromised immune systems like unwanted male dairy calves, BLV can cause cancer.
And so while Freedom should have lived another 10-12 years, his life was stolen from him by a virus directly connected to the unnecessary dairy industry. He was only four when he died.
I will hold onto the first second I laid eyes on him, the murmur of farmers as they eyed the brown calf, the whispers of "defective", "don't bid on him" floating in the acrimonious air of the auction room. I saw a who, a someone, a tiny baby searching for his mom. They saw a commodity, a what, a thing.
He was so small I could pick him up. He was so frightened, his eyes were more white than pupil. He wanted his mom with a quiet desperation.
Freedom grew up to be a playful, boisterous, gentle steer. He loved his adopted brother, Summer, and loved having his back massaged. Freedom exuded joy.
He is profoundly missed.
- Marji Beach, Education Director
The day I met Freedom is etched in my brain forever. Marji Beach and I attended the Petaluma LIvestock Auction to research an article for our upcoming newsletter. To shorten a very long story, we left the auction that day with Freedom and Summer. Two little Jersey calves, both sick and one at death's door.
We drove directly from the auction yard to a veterinary hospital where we unloaded both calves and directed the vets to do what they could to save their lives. They did and both eventually left the hospital to live at Animal Place.
The rest is history. The two boys matured, joined the herd, and became part of our family. I cannot think of Freedom without thinking of the millions of other baby male calves ripped from their moms immediately after being born, only to be loaded up and sent to auction.
Freedom helped us in educating people about the real cost of a glass of milk, a bowl of ice cream, or a slice of cheddar. Go vegan.
- Kim Sturla, Executive Director
One of my first clear memories of Freedom was when Summer and he were living with the goats during their first spring in Grass Valley. Because we have mountain lions here they had to be separated from the main herd of cattle until they were a little older and each night had to be lead into the Goat Barn. Oh what a pain they were to get into that barn! After a few months of putting up with sleeping with the goats, Freedom suddenly wouldn't. He had had enough, he wanted to be a big steer and sleep outside like all the others. He wanted freedom. No pushing, prodding or goading would get him inside that barn that night, or the next, or the next. Freedom won that battle and we had to put him and Summer into the main cattle herd a little sooner. I think perhaps he was aptly named. Freedom.
He sure was a stubborn spirit, but he was also one of the most friendly and affectionate cows I've had the pleasure of working for. I remember calling for the cattle, which we do every night to make sure everyone is ok, this was a few winters ago when they were in one of their HUGE pastures and Freedom would always be one of the first to show up so happy to see me. He absolutely loved to have his eye boogers cleaned off by rubbing his eyes on my pants, his butt scratched (in his missing tail region) and during fly season he would lift his left leg to let me scratch his inner thighs (which always made me smile).
He had a large inner child that loved to play and run and was well known for play bowing and galloping like a calf even in the end. We were so fortunate to have gotten the chance to know and love such an amazing spirit.
- Jamie London, Animal Care Director
I have to say that my dog Bear played a very large role in me getting to know Freedom. I live on the sanctuary with all my furry kids and when I first started working here our playful steer Freedom was staying across the way from my cottage in the healthcare paddock. He and his old man pal Howie were hanging out together getting special needs care, Howie because he was older and Freedom was having some trouble with his eyes.
Every night my four legged children and I would come outside to play or go for a walk and immediately Freedom would run to the gate and moo. He'd stay right there talking until Bear could run over and give him a big sloppy kiss. Far be it for me to understand why he loved this affection, in my opinion Bear has the most horrific breath, but Freedom was crazy about it.
This went on for my first few weeks here, every night we'd have a little dog and cow party just outside my home, Freedom and Bear would have there own secret laughs and Olive, my other dog child would look at me like "why does he think he's so great". Freedom's eyes eventually healed and he returned to his herd mates, but I know he developed a special bond with Bear.
We would drive past the cow pasture or walk along the fence line and Freedom always seemed to know when Bear was around, he always would come right up to get his smelly smooch. Animals never stop surprising me, two species that most would never think of as friends, or even as having the capacity to bond, did just that. Freedom, my playful boy, I'm glad I got to know you, Bear and I will miss you greatly. Rest in peace.

We then went on to the Ray Bans Festival Bus, which as we had the VIP bands got us on first, as we were boarding the bus we were handed Ray Bans to wear- presuming we were gonna have to give them back at the end happily wore them jealously wishing I could keep them as we watched the up and coming band Spectrals on the bus at the front which if I had moved forward an inch would have been sitting on the lead singer lap! They played a light, summer set perfect for 4 in the afternoon with a beer. http://www.myspace.com/spectralspectral Leaving the bus we were handed the cases to the Ray Bans!!!! Crazy stuff so carried on the day rocking my new Ray Bans!
We carried on the rest of the day seeing amazing bands at the Roundhouse especially loving Dog is Dead http://www.myspace.com/dogisdeadband an tons more!
On the Sunday we carried on our love for the Roundhouse with 2:54 http://www.myspace.com/thetwofiftyfour and Young Dreams, had photos taken in the Ray Bans Photo Booth cabs and went into the Wrigley's Ambient Senses Crate- a strange experience! We then went on to watch the awesome Hip Hop Shakespeare, a music theatre production company founded by hip-hop artist Kingslee "Akala" Daley Would performed raps and music based on Shakespeare. http://www.hiphopshakespeare.com/site/
We also saw the brilliant Wolf Gang http://wolf-gang.co.uk/ who I'm sure are gonna be huge at the Forum they played an awesome set with catchy tunes, also on their site you can get a free download of a new track. Basically my new tunnage crush is Wolf Gang! Then followed by The Guillemots http://www.guillemots.com (I completely geeked out when in the VIP bar met the lead singer!!) We were then walking over to the Electric Ballroom an ended up chatting with one of the guys who actually runs the event and gave us After show party bands! Razorlight were incredible with mostly all the old tunes- sending the crowd mad for tunes like "In the City" and "Golden Touch". Finshed off with the Aftershow party with DJ's and break dancing (not me haha) All in all it was amazing an a massive thank you to Dazed Digital for the awesome tickets!!!!!
Interview by Dazed Digital with the incredibly talented Aaron Koblin- Creative Director of Data Art for Google, known best for Radiohead's House of Card. I was very lucky to go to a talk recently from him when I went to Dazed Live (scroll down for review of day). Have a read, look at his website and enjoy- he's simply brilliant!

Sounds like it belongs in a Disney Princess movie. Or just a Disney movie. I've never heard a Korean singer with that kind of voice before.
I had a little note pad, in which I wrote, "Can't speak, Ursula the Sea Witch stole my voice! But I'm happy to assist you!"And a little girl came up to me, read my notepad, grabbed my hand, and dragged me all around the store,asking random guys if they'd like to be my "true love" so I can get my voice back and stay human.…it was the most adorable, awkward situation I had ever been in. Everyone else got a kick out of my reference too.
Too cute not to reblog. XD

Jarrod Saltalamacchia thankful for friendship that blossomed out of horrific events in Boston one year ago
- 5:59 pm Monday, April 21st, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
ATLANTA _ Jarrod Saltalamacchia has several fond memories from his 3 ½ years in Boston, but one has been indelibly etched into his mind.
It was when the Red Sox returned home for their first series following the Boston Marathon bombings. The entire city was on lockdown until the second perpetrator was caught. A few days later, after the manhunt ended, Saltalamacchia, along with his teammates, visited the victims in local hospitals.
Henderson Alvarez looking to bounce back from worst start as a Marlin
- 3:30 pm Tuesday, April 8th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
WASHINGTON – Henderson Alvarez is looking to overcome his worst start as a Marlin tonight when he faces the Nationals in the first road game of the season.
Alvarez lasted just three innings in a loss to San Diego on Wednesday, allowing six runs, the most in 18 starts since joining the Marlins. He allowed at least six earned runs in five of his 31 starts with Toronto in 2012.
Marlins set roster by placing Furcal, Lucas on the DL; cutting Bogusevic
- 4:34 pm Sunday, March 30th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
The Marlins set their roster today by placing 2B Rafael Furcal and IF Ed Lucas on the 15-day disabled list and designating OF Brian Bogusevic for assignment.
Furcal's DL stint is retroactive to March 21 and Lucas' to March 28.
The Marlins hope to keep Bogusevic in their system, but he has the option of declining an assignment to Class AAA if he is not claimed on waivers. Bogusevic, 30, was acquired for Justin Ruggiano. Although Ruggiano was second on the Marlins in home runs (18) and RBI (50) last season, the Marlins saved approximately $2 million and moved a player who [More]
Marlins starting to show concern over Furcal's health as injuries mount; Heaney, Brantly, Moran sent down

JUPITER – Add Greg Dobbs (quad, lower back) to the list of ailing Marlins that including 2B Rafael Furcal (hamstring) and IF Ed Lucas (hamstring).
All three are expected to miss at least the next three days (the Marlins are off on Wednesday). Redmond is not sure when any will return to the regular lineup and expects all three to get at bats in minor league games later this week before any determination is made.
Furcal was injured a week ago against the Mets, returned Saturday and left the game after a couple of innings when the injury tightened.
"It's a concern," Redmond [More]

Marlins 1B Logan Morrison will get the night off after hard fall on Tuesday
- 7:51 pm Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013 by Tom D'Angelo
Logan Morrison is not in the lineup tonight after crashing to the ground hard in Tuesday's 11-3 loss on a play at first base when he went up to catch a high throw by 3B Placido Polanco and was run into by Kris Medlen.
Morrison's back and hip are sore, which is the best scenario considering the scare he got when he hit the ground.
"I felt a pop landing on my hip," he said today. "That hurt. I got a sharp pain."
But the pain subsided and Morrison remained in the game.
Morrison said he could play today but manager Mike Redmond thought [More]
Marlins manager Mike Redmond promises to be more animated next time he's ejected
- 3:13 pm Sunday, June 23rd, 2013 by Joe Capozzi
Marlins manager Mike Redmond said he received a few texts from friends and players congratulating him on his first managerial ejection.
But Redmond admits he could've been more animated while arguing with first base umpire Mark Wegner on Saturday after Barry Zito was allowed to score from first base on a ball that bounced into the stands.
"I think we're all learning out here. There are probably some things I could have done differently. I'll analyze the video a little bit," he said, laughing with reporters this morning.
Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton on DL after hearing 'pop' in hamstring

The Miami Marlins season took another bad turn on Monday.
The Marlins placed Giancarlo Stanton on the disabled list early Tuesday morning after the right fielder suffered a right hamstring strain in the 10th inning of their 4-3 victory over the Mets that took 15 innings and 5 ½ hours to play.

Vatican II's "Declaration on Christian Education" (Gravissimum Educationis), directs Catholic schools to integrate the Christian faith into the whole pattern of human life in all its aspects. It enjoins Catholic educators to strive "to relate all human culture eventually to the news of salvation, so that the life of faith will illumine the knowledge which students gradually gain of the world, of life, and of humankind."(1)
Dominic Aquila, Provost of Ave Maria University, develops this thought when he writes, "Rather than seeing Catholic education as merely the addition of a religion course to the usual academic subjects, we want our students to make Christian sense out of what they learn in their natural science, math, and history courses, in their study of art, music, and literature,"(2). While clearly stated in the documents of Vatican II, and in many other places, this vision, which would see Catholic faith and culture integrated into all subject areas, remains the great, largely unrealized ideal of Catholic education in North America today.
Outside the subject of religious education, Catholic schools in both the United States and Canada, have come to depend almost exclusively on textbooks and other resources developed primarily for use in the secular public schools.
A research study, funded by the National Institute of Education in 1986, concluded that public school textbooks are both biased and censored, in that they fail to report the important indeed central role Christianity has played in our history and culture and rarely represent, either explicitly or implicitly, the social teachings of the Church. In this, the only systematic study of religion and traditional values in public school textbooks, Paul Vitz and his research group concluded that religion and traditional family values have been systematically excluded from our children's textbooks.(3)
No one even vaguely familiar with the direction American and Canadian public education has charted for itself over the past 35 years could be much surprised by this finding. What may surprise, and should certainly concern Catholics, is the fact that Catholic schools, in both the United States and Canada, are using these same resources resources which are predictably silent about the Christian perspective on how social life should be conducted and on the contribution of Catholic faith and culture to the progress of history and our current cultural context.
Of course, the fact that the resources we are using were written with the public schools in mind shouldn't make any difference. Paul Vitz has pointed out that the central issue is a question of the facts of our past and present. Those facts are clear, "...religion, especially Christianity, has played and continues to play a central role in our culture and history. To neglect to report this is simply to fail to carry out the major duty of any textbook writer the duty to tell the truth."(4) The study of Western civilization remains incomplete and distorted without an adequate consideration of the influence of Christianity upon it. The Holy Father puts it forcefully, "The exclusion of Christ from the history of man is an act against man."
Surely then one of the great tragedies of public education today is the fact that the average young person leaving our school systems has no conception of the positive influence Christianity has had on society and culture. As citizens of the modern world our young people are destined to live off the spiritual and cultural capital of our Judeo-Christian heritage without ever recognizing or acknowledging their debt. Yet given the ideological agendas now driving curriculum development in public education, it is hardly surprising that public schools fail to give Christian faith and culture their rightful place; the reaction against Christianity is just too strong.
As the public system has increasingly committed itself to an exclusively secular vision, public school resources have become less and less reflective of Christian values, Christian content, and, in the areas of history and social studies, Christian based criteria of interpretation. Public school textbooks today, can in no way be considered sufficient to the task of helping our students " make Christian sense out of what they learn in their natural science, math, and history courses, in their study of art, music, and literature."
Recognizing this problem many Protestant educational organizations have developed their own resources which emphasize a Christian perspective. For some reason we Catholics have been slow to react to the secularized content of the resources we are using.
Another problem facing us in the Catholic schools, is that having received their training in secular universities, most Catholic teachers are poorly equipped to appreciate the positive historical and cultural impact of Catholicism and are therefore generally lacking in the background necessary to share these riches with their students.
We therefore find ourselves in a situation where most Catholic schools in the United States and Canada, having come to depend on the same textbooks and other resources as those used in the public schools, and staffed for the most part by graduates of the same universities as the public schools, are outside of the subject of religious education teaching almost exactly the same content as the public schools, content that is decidedly impoverished in the rich heritage and meaning of Christian faith and culture.
This situation is a serious concern, because the relationship between instruction in Catholic faith and instruction in Christian culture is a critical and interdependent one. In a sense faith requires culture to incarnate itself. If Catholic students are not made aware of the great wealth they have inherited in terms of culture, they may well end up, as the great Catholic historian Christopher Dawson predicted, " divided personalities with a Christian faith and a pagan culture which contradict one another continually." The challenge and importance of the study of Christian culture for Catholic education can hardly be overstated.
In response to this situation a group of concerned Catholic educators, academics, and clergy working in conjunction with the Society of Catholic Social Scientists has organized as the Catholic Educator's Resource Center (CERC) to identify areas of weakness in teaching materials and to develop supplementary and primary instructional resources which treat fairly the Catholic contribution and perspective.
CERC USA is a registered nonprofit Catholic educational apostolate incorporated in the state of Colorado and existing under the patronage of the Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver, Colorado.
CERC Canada is registered under the British Columbia Societies Act and is a Catholic organization under the patronage of the Most Reverend Adam Exner, O.M.I., Archbishop of Vancouver, B.C.

What happens when you harness the power of real people to do something awesome? At Ford Social, we're all about sharing—which is why we're excited to introduce C-MAX Live.
In May, we rolled out a project that marries traditional and social media in a totally new way: C-MAX Live. The idea is to use out-of-home ad boards and Instagram to create an animation from real people's snapshots. In ten cities across America, the boards invite users to step into single frames from a custom-designed C-MAX animation.
When real people take their photo with the board and upload it to Instagram tagged #cmax, amazing things start to happen. Through image recognition, the pictures get stitched together in the right order to form the animation. Then, people are directed to cmaxlive.com to search for themselves by logging into Instagram. Once there, they can also search for their friends and watch the entire animation populated by a cast of ever-changing people.
How did C-MAX Live get started? You may recognize the subject of the animation—La Linea—from cartoons run in the 1970s on the show The Great Space Coaster, and more recently, the Ford C-MAX TV spots. Working with the Italian animation team and Shilo, the Ford Social team created a short animation featuring this fun line-drawn character interacting with the audience. From there, individual frames were pulled out and converted to ad boards specially placed and designed for easy participation.
With 68 individual frames, we put the boards in the top 10 C-MAX markets across the country in malls, movie theaters, wild postings and events—anywhere people might be up for a little fun with their phone and a friend.
So what does a crowd-sourced live animation look like? Find out now at cmaxlive.com, where you can watch the fully animated piece, search for your friends or check the map to see where you can get involved.

Date of Mahavir Jayanthi celebration: April 11, 2007
Places of Merriment: Gujarat and Rajasthan
For the Jains community, Mahavir Jayanti is the most significant and important festival. It is the birthday anniversary of Jain prophetLord Mahavira. It usually falls on the thirteenth day of the bright half of the Chaitra month. According to the Georgian calendar, it falls anytime between March and April.
Considered as one of the biggest Jain festivals, traditionally, it is Digambar (sky-clad) and Shvetambar (white clad) Jains that observe this festival. The majority of the Jain population is found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Mahavir Jayanti is widely celebrated in ancient shrines at Girnar and Palitana (Gujarat), Parasnath temple (Calcutta), and Pawapuri and Vaishali (Bihar) and Mahavirji (Rajasthan).
Mahavira, son of King Siddhartha and Priyakarani, is the last one in the galaxy of Twenty-four Teerthankaras (Jain Prophets). Born in 599 BC, he is acclaimed as India's renowned prophet of peace and social transformation.
Mahavir was not the founder of Jainism. He reformed the Jain doctrines so he was more of a reformer than a founder. During his growing up days as a prince, he renounced the pleasures and luxuries of the palace. He undertook a life of intense penance for more than twelve years. Mahavira introduced the true concept of Dharma. He looked around and found the society corrupted by the distortions. Mahavira, with his penetrating insight born out of self-realization, struck mercilessly at these perversions. He simplified the religious procedures and concentrated on righteous conduct.
The major emphasis of Mahavir Jayanti is renunciation. On this day, there are religious prayers, where Jains reflect on the teachings of Mahavira. Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated on a grand scale with processions, fast, charities, fairs and religious ceremonies at the Jain shrines. On this day, grand processions are carried out with life size bust of Lord Mahavira all across India. The Jain shrines are decorated with flags. Early in the morning, the idol of Mahavira is given a ceremonial bath called 'abhishek'. He is then placed in a cradle for a grand procession around the neighborhood. During this procession, devotees offer milk, rice, fruit, incense, lamps and water to the tirthankar. Special skits are performed enacting important incidents from the life of Lord Mahavira.
Enlightening lectures on the life of Lord Mahavira and its teachings by well-known Jain scholars. On this day, people seek salvation by way of meditation and prayers. A donation drive is organized to save slaughter of cows. Special social service programmes are organized at various charitable organizations. The popular Mahavir Jayanti fair is organized at 'Mahavir Temple' in an enclosure known as Katala. The temple of Mahavirji also has images of other Jain tirthankaras. It has an idol of Bhairon, which is installed as the guardian of the shrine at the door. There is a main attraction is stambha (tower of glory) made of marble in front of the temple.

Request: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Cheesecake
This is a special request from my good friend Geoff and it is in fact his 25th birthday present from me to him. Geoff spent quite a while deciding that this was what he wanted and I could hardly deny his request because frankly… it's pretty awesome. I'm a big fan of Castlevania but after watching a play-through of the most recent instalment, Lords of Shadow, on the 360 I've yet to brave it myself (seriously one of the greatest endings to a game ever ). I had been tempted to do a Castlevania entry before, often distracted by the German-esque "bakery" levels filled with breads and treats that sometimes fly at your face. So I was glad that Geoff pointed out this delicious looking cheesecake. According to its description on the Castlevania Wiki it is "with chocolate chips" but one drunken conversation later we agreed that the strawberry topping angle was the way to go for maximum tastiness and Alucard would probably pick around the chocolate chips anyway.
Click 'Read More' for the full recipe!
This recipe serves 6-8.
What you will need: A 20cm cake tin, baking/greaseproof paper, rolling pin, large mixing bowl, wooden spoons, whisk, small bowl, pan.
For the Base:
85ml / ⅓ Cup Melted Butter
140g / ¾ Cup Digestive Biscuits
1 Tablespoon Golden Caster Sugar
For the Cheesecake:
600g / 3 Cups Cream Cheese
170g / ⅔ Cup Golden Caster Sugar
2 Tablespoons Plain Flour
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
2 Large eggs
1 Yolk
150ml / ¾ Sour Cream
For the Strawberry Glaze:
500g / 4 Cups Strawberries
150g / ¾ Cup Caster Sugar
2 Tablespoons Ground Arrowroot
Making the Base:
- Prepare the cake tin by buttering and lining the base and sides with baking/greaseproof paper and preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
- Put the biscuits in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin (should your claymore be at the cleaners) to bash them into crumbs, then place in a bowl.
- Melt the butter in a pan on a medium heat and pour over the biscuit crumbs along with the tablespoon of sugar.
- Mix well until the butter has been absorbed and then press the biscuit mixture firmly and evenly to the base of the prepared cake tin. Place in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes, remove and set aside to cool - make sure it has cooled completely otherwise you will end up with a soggy base like I did.
Making the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese gently until creamy and slowly add the sugar. Add the flour and a pinch of salt and stir in slowly making sure to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Whisk in the vanilla and lemon juice. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time and then the sour cream whisking gently, being careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the filling over the buttery biscuit base, gently tap or knock the tin to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 160C/320F, then reduce to 90C/190F and cook for 20-40 minutes. I found just keeping an eye on the cake until the centre was a little wobbly but firm was best.
- Leave it out to cool, the top may crack but don't worry as this will be covered. After an hour you can put it in the fridge to continue cooling.
Making the Strawberry Glaze:
- Chop the 500g of strawberries, place in a pan, bring to the boil with about 6 tablespoons of water and the sugar.
- In a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of arrowroot with some water to create a runny paste.
- Once the mixture has boiled in the pot, add the arrowroot water a teaspoon at a time until it begins to thicken then remove from the heat and leave to cool for several minutes.
- Once cooled slightly pour/spread the strawberry glaze over the cheesecake and return to the fridge to chill for several hours.
I have never made cheesecake in my life. The making of was relatively easy but then the lengthy cooking and cooling process is something I wish I'd planned better and well in advance… because as I write this it's later than I would like and I'm praying I can post this before the clock ticks onto midnight and ruin my Wednesday posting spree. It might be a little rough around the edges, but it's still a cheesecake! And it's one hell of a tasty one. Despite the upset tummy and ills I may incur I had to steal a little piece to taste. I will make this again most likely, only with 3 days before it's actually needed so I wont have to cry into a pot of boiling strawberries (the tears make it taste sweeter). You see Geoff, you SEE the lengths I go to for you?! It was great to have a challenge for once though, not everything should run so smoothly all the time and the result did taste pretty excellent - it's just one of those things you need to make a few times to perfect. The base ended up a bit softer than I would have liked, so I've edited the recipe accordingly - other than this it tasted perfect! I can't seem to think of a Castlevania qu-whip without it sounding too cheesy… oh, oops. (Also sorry for the late posting - I've had the flu this week)

Hey another win
But what a lousy performance on both sides of the ball. This game should have been real high scoring , but neither team could score. Oh to hell with all that , It's win #2 and that is great since the #1 draft pick is gone. No worries though, they would have screwed that up come draft day anyway!!!!!!!! It's been a frustrating year but at least we get some bright spots. We beat the damn WHINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes , I'm doing the funky chicken right now. For those of you not familiar with the dance, I've got a dance pole some tar and feathers and a humidifier............................And some barbee Q sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes yes yes, We won!!!!!
I stopped going to the dentist.......I got tired of the cavity searches!

Victims of the SQL Hammer
The first thing you need to realize is that you're a victim of the SQL hammer. If having a hammer means everything is a nail, then it's the same for SQL. Imagine, for instance, that Google's search engine (which is trying to deliver information that is personal and relevant to you) was built by a group of SQL engineers. First, they would have designed a global data schema for all the information on the planet. Then they would have used the extract, transform and load (ETL) process and data-cleansing tools to bring all the information on the planet into their global SQL database. Finally, they would write reports such as: "Places to camp in France," or "Chinese restaurants in Hickory, N.C." After 10 years and tens of millions of dollars, the team would probably have given up. Fortunately, Google didn't take that approach.
As much as I support the NoSQL space, I've already seen victims of the NoSQL hammer in only 2 and a half years. Both the hammer and new shiny toy syndroms are as present. One could even say that you cannot have the one without the other.

October is National Pork Month!
From summer grilling to football tailgates, America is cooking with pork. Pork that's safer, more sustainable and more popular than ever. Forty-two percent of all the meat consumed in the world is pork. Popularity is evident on the website Bacon Today, which lists more than 50 bacon festivals in the U.S. scheduled for 2014. Why? Because America's pig farmers are using the safest practices ever to produce a consistent, safe, healthy product for consumers.
In 2008, pork producers at the National Pork Industry Forum adopted six guiding principles of the We Care Initiative to maintain a safe, high-quality pork supply including producing safe food, safeguarding natural resources in all industry practices, providing a safe and consistent work environment, contributing a better quality of life in communities, protecting and promoting animal well-being, and ensuring practices to protect public health.
October is National Pork Month. Traditionally, hogs were marketed in October, but now October gives consumers an opportunity to celebrate and thank pork producers around the United States and enjoy your favorite cuts of pork!
1. Each market hog represents 371 servings of pork.
2. To keep your pork juicy and safe requires you to cook it to 145 Fahrenheit.
3. Pork is 75% leaner today than it was in the 1950s!

- "Seeds of Love" (African resin)
- Strawberry leaves (Fragari x Ananasa)
- Spearmint oil (Mentha Spicata)
- Patchouli oil (Pogostemon cablin)
Grind it all up and enjoy! It will smell very, very, very delicious and pleasant. The "seeds of love" is unfortunately something I cannot explain much as it was a special resin that I bought from a local store who claimed it was an African herb composite that women would toss into the flames to make their bodies fertile for childbearing. This symbolism is powerful in manifestation. If you cannot find these, add in some amazing patchouli oil or leaves!
Wish Powder is used universally for all magical intentions in prayer, healing, gift receiving, giving, hoping, and manifestation. Sprinkle some over a threshold to allow good spirits in, burn some in a cauldron with cinnamon to get that job, carry some with you for good luck, or add it to a bath to enjoy profound healing. It's all limitless.

Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage
Not available
moreProbably no other dimension of human experience has been pondered, discussed, debated, analyzed, and dreamed about more than the nature of true love. Love is everywhere in songs and in books, on televisions and on movie screens. Yet, for all of our thinking and talking, how many of us truly understand love and where can we turn for genuine insight in matters of true love? In The Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage, Dr. Myles Munroe provides the answers to questions surrounding the true nature of love as he also exposes the false images created in our culture. Throughout this book he eloquently illuminates the many facets of love while at the same time tackling the really tough subjects of separation and divorce. This book is sure to become a classic that will last for a lifetime and beyond as it responds gently and practically to those seeking to resolve the challenges of human relationships. less

Preventing Violence in Today's Workplace
Workplace crime and aggressive behavior experts look at what can be done to prevent workplace shootings before they occur
"There was a comment in an article from one of the plant's employees," says O'Malley, "and it was to point that, the way they treated their employees, it was a wonder that the incident had not happened earlier."
To that, says Mains, there's not much to say other than the company could have better spent time preventing these situations than dealing with the after-effects.
"It would certainly cost less to take care of these kinds of situations with training," says Mains, "than to deal with the murders of employees and the serious liability repercussions."
