Faithful Catholics knew from the moment Francis walked out on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, it was the beginning of his cross. The silent prayer he asked for, and during which he bowed, I believe was prayer that he could bear that cross with joy and fortitude, and that his ability to bear it would be provided by the prayers of his people.

WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - It really didn't matter who the cardinals elected as the new pope. The Left, and we know who they are, hate the Church. Regardless who walked out on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, there would be no honeymoon, hardly time for a hiccup, in fact, before the Left and its media goons started to bash him.
As Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, recently chronicled, the barrage of lies, spin, and accusations has already begun.
When you hate the Church, when you wish for its destruction, or at least for its transformation into another vehicle for secularization, you will naturally do all you can to hurt Her leader.
The Left can't really help it (I can't bring myself to call them "progressives, their preferred self-description) because they are not only left on the political spectrum, but they left true liberalism a long time ago, about the time they left civilized, humane conversation, a form of dialogue that sincerely cared about reaching the truth.
Francis himself, however, actually galls them: A Jesuit who rejected liberation theology ("Oh, the horror!), a South American cardinal who opposed the government on abortion, euthanasia, and gay-lesbian adoption, and, most of all, his lifestyle provides no clubs to beat him with -- he rides the bus, will not live in archdiocesan palaces, and wears the simplest of clerical robes.
In his first public gesture, Francis I bowed to the thousands in St. Peter's Square, as if to say, "I will be your servant."
Some readers may think it hyperbole to claim the Left "hates" the Church. Anyone who by 2013 thinks such a claim an exaggeration will not be convinced by any evidence I could offer here.
Perhaps the most egregious fact of all: Led by the epicenter of anti-Catholic hatred, The New York Times, the Left considers the priest sex scandal a definitive corroboration of all their disdain towards the Church and its moral teachings. Yet, the same media ignore similar, and worse, patterns of child abuse in public schools, the Boy Scouts, and other religious dominations, including Judaism.
The Church gets special treatment. For the Left, priestly hypocrisy proves the falsehood of the Church's moral principles, particularly on matters of sex, including celibacy, contraception, marriage, and, of course, homosexuality. And the moral standard a person strives but fails to attain is refuted. But they fail to notice how their argument leads to the nullification of all moral standards, even their own.
If their own logic leads to refutation of all moral standards based upon hypocrisy, from what moral ground does the Left, who we must presume suffer from hypocrisy, throw their stones at the Church and Francis I?
This must explain why the same critics of the Church haven't registered any notice of the "sex weeks" being held annually at their prestigious Ivy League alma maters like Harvard, Yale, and Brown. At least the Left is honest enough, as signified by its silence, to decline comment on such flagrant nonsense.
The latest from Brown University is a workshop on "The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure." The Yale University "sex week," now over a decade old, was shut down briefly when its close ties to the porn industry were exposed, but was given the green light again by Yale College Dean Marilyn Miller after reviewing a revised proposal, "It's an ambitious proposal, with attention to consent in the present and historical and social contexts overall." Ah, sweet reason reigns once again at Yale University!
Faithful Catholics knew from the moment Francis walked out on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, it was the beginning of his cross. The silent prayer he asked for, and during which he bowed, I believe was prayer that he could bear that cross with joy and fortitude, and that his ability to bear it would be provided by the prayers of his people.
Catholics know, and they will pray, regardless of who says what about our new pope.

Rosebud Ben-Oni
Ben-Oni's poems examine the layers and gaps of multicultural identity. In a 2013 review of Solecism for Bookslut, Anne Champion observes that in her poems Ben-Oni "explores cultural trespassing in the midst of a multicultural atmosphere whose rigid categories create a dizzying and disorienting sense of exclusion for the speakers of these poems—voices desperate to assert truths while carving out a contact zone in which various cultures intermingle and collide."
She is the author of the poetry collection Solecism (2013). Her work has also been featured in the anthologies Men Undressed: Women Writers and the Male Sexual Experience (2011, edited by Stacy Bierlein, Gina Frangello, Cris Mazza and Kat Meads) and Wreckage of Reason: An Anthology of Contemporary XXperimental Prose by Women Writers (2008, edited by Nava Renek). Ben-Oni's plays have been produced in New York, Washington DC, and Toronto. She is a graduate of the Women's Work Lab and a playwright at New Perspectives Theater. She has served as aCantoMundo fellow and won a 2014 NYFA Fellowship in Poetry.
Ben-Oni was a co-editor for HER KIND, the blog of VIDA: Women in Literary Arts, from 2012 to 2013 and is now an editorial advisor. She lives in New York.

At the close of the First World War, propaganda mapping played a crucial role in the creation of a consensus about German national territory.
Under the Map of Germany provides a detailed and vivid analysis of the history and techniques of nationalist mapping in inter-war Germany. Using extensive archival documentation - including many previously undiscovered maps - the author charts the development of new concepts of national territory and the establishment of an effective propaganda mapping network. His research demonstrates that a consensus about the extent of the Greater German nation was not created by skillful Nazi propagandists, but by the collaborate efforts of respected scholars and nationalist activists during the Weimar Republic. Challenging the belief that national self-determination is a just cause, Under the Map of Germany reveals that national territories are not tangible entities that can be clearly delimited, but are artificial constructs open to a wide range of interpretations.

While Radebe, who spent eleven years at Elland Road between 1994
and 2005, feels for his former employers, the 42-year-old believes the
club still needs to improve before returning to the top flight of
English football.
The former Bafana Bafana captain told Football365.co.za:
"They missed the play-offs which was very disappointing, but in a way it
was good that they didn't get promotion now because I think that Leeds
need to get stronger.
"I think that they need to get more quality players that can keep
them in the Premier League when they go up, instead of them getting
promotion and then dipping back down again and you know this is not
worth it.
"Leeds is a big club and you can see that the Premier League is not the same without them.
"So, you need that passion and that spark in a club that is really proud of their tradition and culture."

57 Varieties of Truth
Temple Baptist Church was built on land sold for fifty-seven cents, the amount saved by a little girl who had been turned away from its Sunday school.
[Collected on the Internet, 1999]
A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it 'was too crowded'. "I can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by. Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class. The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.
Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements. As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump. Inside was found
57 cents
and a note scribble in childish handwriting which read, "This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school."
For two years she had saved for this offering of love. When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do.
Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion. He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building. But the story does not end there!
A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands. When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for a
57 cent
Church members made large subscriptions. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250,000.00 — a huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid large dividends.
When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300, and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trained. Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside at Sunday school time.
In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose
57 cents,
so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor,
Dr. Russell
H. Conwell, author of the book,
Acres of Diamonds
— a true story.
If there's anyone who knows the truth behind this story, it would be
Russell H.
Conwell, the kindly pastor described in this anecdote. He set down his version of these events in a chapter of his book
Acres of Diamonds
, and the details he relates are significantly different than the ones presented above.
For starters, he does tell of a little girl who was turned away from Sunday school because there was no room for her:
One afternoon a little girl, who had eagerly wished to go, turned back from the Sunday-school door, crying bitterly because there was no more
room ...
[I] asked her why it was that she was crying, and she sobbingly replied that it was because they could not let her into the
Sunday-school ...
I said to her that I would take her in, and I did so, and I said to her that we should some day have a room big enough for all who should come.
So far, so good. But what happened next? Unbeknownst to
Dr. Conwell,
the little girl went home and told her parents that she wanted to save money to build a larger church, and they indulged her by letting her run errands for pennies that she saved in a little bank. And then:
She was a lovable little thing — but in only a few weeks after that she was taken suddenly ill and died; and at the funeral her father told me, quietly, of how his little girl had been saving money for a building-fund. And there, at the funeral, he handed me what she had
saved — just
fifty-seven cents in pennies.
Dr. Conwell said nothing in his acocunt about being asked to handle the little girl's "final arrangements," made no mention of a worn and crumpled purse with a note explaining the purpose of the girl's savings, and explained that the girl passed away a "few weeks" (not "two years") after he encountered her outside the church. In fact, there was no note nor any "cracked, red pocketbook" for him to "carry to the pulpit" and use to "challenge his deacons." What occurred next was somewhat more prosaic:
At a meeting of the church trustees I told of this gift of fifty-seven
cents — the
first gift toward the proposed building-fund of the new church that was some time to exist. For until then the matter had barely been spoken of, as a new church building had been simply a possibility for the future.
The trustees seemed much impressed, and it turned out that they were far more impressed than I could possibly have hoped, for in a few days one of them came to me and said that he thought it would be an excellent idea to buy a lot on Broad Street — the very lot on which the building now stands.
The immediate result of Dr. Conwell's tale of the little girl and her fifty-seven cents? Advice on a piece of property, which
Dr. Conwell
followed up on:
I talked the matter over with the owner of the property, and told him of the beginning of the fund, the story of the little girl. The man was not one of our church, nor, in fact, was he a church-goer at all, but he listened attentively to the tale of the fifty-seven cents and simply said he was quite ready to go ahead and sell us that piece of land for ten thousand dollars, taking — and the unexpectedness of this deeply touched me — taking a first payment of just fifty-seven cents and letting the entire balance stand on a five-per-cent mortgage!
He made no mention of a newspaper article that publicized the story, or of a generous realtor who offered a "parcel of land worth many thousands" and dropped the price to fifty-seven cents when told "the church could not pay so much." Just a direct deal between
Dr. Conwell
and a property owner to buy a piece of land for $10,000 under some rather generous terms: no down payment and a low interest
As things turned out, the church soon came to own the land free and clear, not because "church members made large subscriptions," but because the church received "a single large subscription — one of ten thousand dollars."
This anecdote has all the elements an inspirational tale needs: a little girl who saved her pennies after being turned away from a church that had no room for her, a stranger who was inspired by her story to offer his land to the church at some very favorable terms, and a benefactor who contributed $10,000 so that the church could buy the property outright instead of carrying a mortgage. But because
Dr. Conwell
was akin to what today would be termed a "motivational speaker," he altered and
his tales (including this one) at will to better suit his audience and get across the lessons he wanted to impart.

I wholeheartedly agree with tobyellen from Toronto Canada. I appreciate reviews for recipes that are original, and often wonder why people post reviews for recipes that have been altered. I'm an obsessive baker and have made this cake many times. It's one of the best desserts I've ever made. I follow the recipe exactly with no alterations and have never had any issues, The cake comes out of the pan with ease and is incredibly moist. The spices are beautifully balanced. It's lovely plated with a smear of lemon sauce.flag if inappropriate
Very moist and flavorful. I had no problems with sticking. I used a high quality Nordic Ware non stick bundt pan and a very generous coating of bakers joy. These are the alterations I made. 2 tsp dried ginger, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, 1/4 tsp salt and no cardamom. I baked mine for 45 min. The feedback I got from this cake was very positive including being told to definitely keep this in the lineup as far as standby recipes.flag if inappropriate
I made this almost exactly as written (I added a pinch of salt and used a 9x13 pan because I didn't have a bundt pan). It was tasty and had a really great texture, but I think it was much too sweet. (And I have a big sweet tooth, so I don't say those words too often). I was also after a really good traditional tasting gingerbread, so the balance of spices, though interesting and different, wasn't right for me. I will try it again, but this time I'll bump the ginger down, and pump up the cloves, allspice and cinnamon.flag if inappropriate
So moist, gingery and delicious! Way better than any other I've tried.flag if inappropriate
I truly respect everyone who writes in with comments but why in the name of Julia Child would anyone change a recipe in some cases dramatically and then either give it 4 stars which really says "their" recipe is great or give it no stars - again criticizing their own recipe. I have made this recipe exactly as written on average 8 - 15 times each and every year. This doesn't stick, it doesn't need an extra egg or more of this or that. It is simply and completely one of the most perfect cakes imaginable. Read the recipe carefully. Follow the instructions you won't need anything else. Happy holidaysflag if inappropriate
This is by far the best gingerbread recipe I've ever made. Changes I made are: added 1/2 tsp. salt, an extra egg, separated the whites from the yolks and whipped the whites stiffly, and folded them into the batter at the end. Increased the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp. and the cloves and nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. Added 1/2 tsp. ea. of mace and allspice plus 1/8 tsp. cardamom. I used butter rather than oil, and reduced white sugar to 1/2 cup but subed with coconut palm sugar. I baked in a 9x13 pyrex dish (don't really know if this makes a difference - but I have heard that pyrex cooks faster)... my complete baking time was 40 min. After reading how the cake stuck to the pan, I made sure to heavily butter the baking dish followed by a dusting of flour. There was absolutely no problem getting the cake free of the baking dish.... but for some reason, the cake sort of curled in on itself while baking. I have no idea what may have caused this. Finished product was moist, perfectly delicious in every way... topped with vanilla flavored whipped cream with just a hint of sweetness.flag if inappropriate
Since these beers come in 12 oz bottles I make 1 1/2 the recipe and have an extra loaf of this bread. Freezes very well and ~ extraordinarily fabulous!flag if inappropriate
I've been trying to perfect gingerbread for several years, & am always tinkering. And then found this recipe. Just a wonderful gingerbread, and I'm not tinkering around with gingerbread from now on! Although I am going to tinker a bit with baking this in a different pan. I' not a fan of bundt cake pans, anyway, and I found the cake stuck a bit on the bottom & fell apart a little when turning it out, even though I buttered and floured that Bundt pan liberally. I tend to follow a cake recipe as written the first time around, although I did make a change by baking it on convection mode at 340-something I do all the time with great results. The toothpick test was fine, so I wa surpried when the cake stuck. No matter, it was delicious anyway, and I'll figure out how to fix this. We just loved this recipe.flag if inappropriate
This is one of the best gingerbreads I've ever baked. The flavor and texture are amazing. However, after reading all the reviews I made two adjustments: 1) I reduced the white sugar to 1/2 cup. 2) I added a bit of salt. I generously buttered and floured my bundt pan and had no trouble getting the cake out after five minutes' resting time. Baking time was right on for me, and I didn't have trouble with it falling much.flag if inappropriate
This is, hands down, the best gingerbread recipe I've ever used. I used to make Laurie Colwin's recipe, but I like this one so much better. I grate a large knob of fresh ginger into the cooling stout/molasses mixture and also reduce the white sugar, as others have suggested, and double the spices. I also have used Baker's Joy, to poor effect. Butter and flour have worked best for me. I have made this more times than I can count and am now known for my gingerbread. I sometimes use a 10x10 pan, and this works just fine.flag if inappropriate

ORLANDO – Arsalan Kazemi is back with the 76ers – at least for the summer.
The 6-foot-7 power forward joined their Orlando Pro Summer League team in time for Monday morning's practice at Silver Star Gym.
Kazemi was drafted by the Washington Wizards with the 54th pick in the 2013 draft and traded to the Sixers on draft night. In the process, the 24-year-old became the first Iranian to get drafted in the NBA.
He played in the Orlando league last summer before the Sixers stashed him overseas. Kazemi averaged 13.1 points and 11.1 rebounds for Petrochimi Bander Imam of the Iran Super League.

The Alaska Aces, who can eliminate the Idaho Steelheads tonight in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals in Boise, have activated defenseman James Martin and placed veteran defenseman Sean Curry on reserve.
That means you can probably count on Martin being in the lineup tonight and Curry being out. Martin has been a scratch the last two games, since the return of Kane Lafranchise from the AHL. Curry has played all eight playoff games to date.
Coach Rob Murray after Alaska's 4-2 win in Game 4, which earned it a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series, said veteran Gerald Coleman will start in goal in Game 5.

Getting' ready to cruise
... successfully with the help of a few friendly people. Germans are very helpful and if you ask for assistance go out of their way to get you to where you want to go. We arrived at the cruise boat successfully and were ushered on board to our cabin. I was initially disappointed with the view of concrete from our French balcony (see photo) until Rosanne pointed out we were still in dock! However, as you can see from the followup pic we now have a much more scenic ...
Fun day in Cologne
We set out this morning to find a breakfast place in the old city of Cologne. On the way we came across a wedding at what we think was city hall. Actually more than one. While we were watching the gathered masses another wedding car, a beatle VDub, arrived with an older, maybe second time around couple in it. As you can see from the pic balloons and palm branches were the go. We finally found a corner cafe that had nice brekky and had attempted to hold onto the ...
Super-sized barges

Very very comfortable night & almost the end of our trip! Sigh...
book the last 2 nights.....
Roadtrip to Germany
... of german food, spiked hot chocolate, and street vendors selling christmas stuff. I bought my luca an old toy we used to play with as kids.. some russian doll where you open it and a smaller doll comes out until you have a little baby doll..
Lunch was German street food - Bratwurst and green cabbage which was surprisingly yummy. Dinner was ...
... candy and flowers ("Kamillo" and "Trushia"), but we also learned the names and a few lyrics of the 3 famous German songs we heard playing all weekend. The songs have now been on repeat on all of our Itunes for the past week... By the end of the parade, we boarded the bus back home with a bag full of candies, chocolates, and flowers.
Although we arrived back to Freiburg to a week full of midterms and deadlines for papers, our carnival weekend made it totally worth it.


text: We stayed at the Residence Inn Scripps Poway for 8 nights during a vacation in San Diego. There were 2 adults and 2 kids (5 and 7 year old) in my family and my brother, his wife and new born daughter stayed in the next room. The hotel is located just off the I-15 making it convenient to visit all the attractions (Sea World, La Jolla) in 20-30mins. The included breakfast was great including both hot and cold items (bagels, eggs). The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We stayed on the top floor (Room 404 and 402) which were close to both the lifts and the stairs leading conveniently to the parking lot. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Shell Oil saw an 11% jump in profits over this time last year, raking in $7.7 billion in just three months.
In fact, it should be called the "Motorize Our Wilderness Areas Act," for it would allow motorized access, road construction and even logging in designated Wilderness Areas.
Take action to stop this bill now.
Help! We just learned that the "Sportsmen's Heritage Act" (H.R. 4089) is headed to the House floor today. This benign-sounding bill contains Trojan Horse language that would eviscerate the Wilderness Act of 1964.
I have some exciting news from New Mexico to share with all of you! Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) has announced plans to introduce legislation that would designate 45,000 acres of what is now the Columbine Hondo Wilderness Study Area as permanently protected Wilderness.
April 2012 Update: The Motorize our Wilderness Areas Act was combined with other bills to comprise H.R. 4089 in the House of Representatives.
The reality is that we can and must do both, but it must be done carefully.
Sometimes we are given the opportunity to realize that there is wild all around us.
Last week TWS signed onto comments with our environmental partners in support of reconsidering rules around integrating distributed generation onto the grid.

7/28/15 - PT Optometrist - Paso Robles, CA - As the sun rises over the golden hills striped with lush grapevines, the grey-green oaks are silhouetted against the brilliant blue sky. There is little traffic, low humidity, few bugs, crystal clean air, sunshine 80% of days. Life is at a slower pace. Sounds heavenly! Where are we?
On the spectacular Central Coast of California . . . halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Home to Hearst Castle and Big Sur.

Half an hour south is San Luis Obispo, #17 on that same list, home to Cal Poly University (http://www.calpoly.edu). U.S. News and World Report has rated Cal Poly the best public master's university in the West for the 22nd consecutive year in its annual America's Best Colleges guidebook.)
Writers for Huffington Post, in an article last year said, "Paso Robles left three distinct impressions on us: The wine is delicious, the food is wonderful, and the people are just so darn nice." (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-desimone-and-jeff-jenssen/paso-robles-wine-lovers-p_b_2985891.html)
Speaking of wine. Paso Robles is a well recognized wine region turning out International award winning wines (Wine Spectator 2010 Wine of the Year is from Paso Robles' Saxum Winery, Wine Enthusiast's 2013 Wine Region of the Year Star Award). The Paso wines are explained here by our own, Casey Biggs, the Paso Wine Man. (View these entertaining and educational videos. http://www.pasowine.com/education/paso-wine-man-videos.php).

Gradually during the opening scenes of "Joe Versus the Volcano," my heart began to quicken, until finally I realized a wondrous thing: I had not seen this movie before. Most movies, I have seen before. Most movies, you have seen before. Most movies are constructed out of bits and pieces of other movies, like little engines built from cinematic Erector sets. But not "Joe Versus the Volcano." It is not an entirely successful movie, but it is new and fresh and not shy of taking chances. And the dialogue in it is actually worth listening to, because it is written with wit and romance.
The movie announces its individuality in its opening shot, which is of a loathsome factory -- a vast block of ugliness set down in the middle of a field of mud. Into this factory every morning trudge the broken spirits and unhealthy bodies of its employees, among them the ashen-faced Joe (Tom Hanks), who has felt sick for years and believes that the buzzing fluorescent tubes above his desk may be driving him mad.
The factory is a triumph of production design (by Bo Welch, who also designed "Beetlejuice"). It is a reminder that most movies these days are rigidly realistic in their settings, as if a law had been passed against flights of fancy like this factory that squats obscenely in the center of the screen. The entire movie breaks that law and allows fantasy back into the movies again. Like "Metropolis" (1927), "The Wizard of Oz," "Ghostbusters" or "Batman," this movie isn't content to photograph the existing world -- it goes to the trouble of creating its own.
In the factory, Joe hunches in his little corner, quailing at the attacks of his boorish boss (Dan Hedaya) and hardly daring a peek at the office secretary (Meg Ryan), whose huge typewriter seems ready to crush her. He hates his job. Hates, hates, hates it. He barely has the strength to crawl out to a doctor's appointment, where he learns that a Brain Cloud is spreading between the hemispheres of his brain.
He will feel terrific for four or five months, and then he will die.
The death sentence is a liberation. Joe quits his job, and is almost immediately offered another one. A man named Graynamore (Lloyd Bridges) owns an island that is rich in a rare mineral. The island is inhabited by natives who must be placated. They need a human sacrifice for their volcano. Since Joe is going to die anyway, Graynamore reasons, why shouldn't he go out in style by leaping into the volcano?
Sounds good to Joe. And meanwhile the movie has been developing into a duet between whimsy and romance. The writer-director, John Patrick Shanley, is the same man who wrote Norman Jewison's wonderful "Moonstruck" and the astonishingly bad "The January Man." Now he is back on the track again. The best thing about his direction is his own dialogue. The characters in this movie speak as if they would like to say things that had not been said before, in words that had never been used in quite the same way.
En route to the island, Joe meets one of Graynamore's daughters and then the other. Both are played by Ryan, who has three different kinds of fun with her three characters: grungy, waspish and delectable. They set sail for the South Seas. Everything leads to the moment when they stand on the lip of the fiery volcano, wondering whether they should risk fate by jumping in. Only in this movie could jumping into a volcano be considered risking fate, rather than certain death.
"Joe Versus the Volcano" achieves a kind of magnificent goofiness. Hanks and Ryan are the right actors to inhabit it, because you can never catch them going for a gag that isn't there: They inhabit the logic of this bizarre world and play by its rules. Hanks is endearing in the title role because, in the midst of these astonishing sets and unbridled flights of fancy, he underplays. Like a Jacques Tati, he is an island of curiosity in a sea of mystery.
Some of the movie's sequences are so picaresque they do themselves in: The native tribe, for example, is a joke that Shanley is unable to pull off. What's strongest about the movie is that it does possess a philosophy, an idea about life. The idea is the same idea contained in "Moonstruck": that at night, in those corners of our minds we deny by day, magical things can happen in the moon shadows. And if they can't, a) they should, and b) we should always in any event act as if they can.
A comparison of Frank Costello in The Departed and Whitey Bulger in Black Mass reveals weaknesses in the latter.
Our monthly series digs into the career of Wes Craven and comes out with his 3D 2010 film, "My Soul to Take".

Lemon Shrimp with Mushrooms
- Active Time 15m
- Total Time 30m
Serves 4
For this simple combination, the lemon juice and zest add a wonderful fresh taste, while the mushrooms contribute an interesting texture. A fruity Chardonnay with a lot of body would go well with the tang of the lemon and the sweetness of the shrimp.
- 32 to 40 medium shrimp or 24 to 28 large shrimp
- 2 lemons
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 7 ounces cremini mushrooms or regular white mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper
- 4 to 5 sprigs of parsley, chopped rough
TO PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS: Peel the shrimp except for the last remaining tail section. Remove the zest of half a lemon with a fine zester, or use a knife, and then cut the zest into fine julienne. Juice the lemons.
TO COOK THE MUSHROOMS AND SHRIMP: In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, saute the mushrooms in 4 tablespoons oil for about 1 minute, until they begin to release their juices. Push to the sides of the pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil and bring it up to temperature. Add the shrimp and sauté about 1 minute on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and juice, and parsley. Cover tightly and remove from heat. Let steam about 6 minutes.

What People Meant For Evil …
The Rev. C.T. Vivian, who was central to the achievements of the civil rights movement of the 60s, said in an interview with me this week that the evil perpetrated at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., was "the best thing that could have happened."
Not the deaths of the innocent people, he says, but the evil act that was carried out in a house of worship made way for critical action that might not otherwise have happened. "It came out even better than anybody would have thought," he said, "because we not only got the flag down, but more than that, we got rid of the great Southern symbols. If we handle it right, we have a good chance of getting a whole lot done more than we thought. Black ministers have to go to white ministers and say this is the day that we've been waiting for, the day when the public is really ready to have the war of yesterday forgotten."
Vivian may well be right, but the incident made this writer wonder, yet again, about the whereabouts of God in the presence of oppression.

Heinz To Roll Out Its Ketchup In PlantBottles
The company is partnering with Coca-Cola to use the environmentally friendly packaging in its ketchup bottles.
Starting in June, Heinz ketchup will be available in the eco-friendly PlantBottle packaging. The move, which was announced by the company through a press release, is expected to help Heinz meet its environmental objectives of cutting its emissions and energy usage by 20% by the year 2015.
PlantBottle, which PSFK earlier wrote about, is a recyclable plastic bottle that is made from a blend of petroleum-based and plant-based materials and was first introduced by Coca-Cola. Over 120 million Heinz ketchup bottles will be rolled out this year, all sporting the "Guess What My Bottle Is Made Of?" label.
