I bought a loaf of each and made myself some bacon cheeseburgers in the Panini press. Here's how they turned out:
Now, don't get me wrong: this doesn't taste like a slice of Boudin Bakery sourdough fresh out of the oven. But it tastes like bread and is fine for sandwiches and the like. I'm planning on using it in my Christmas stuffing recipe shortly. And best of all, from a low-carb viewpoint, I was still in ketosis the next day, turning my ketostick a dark purple. And I ate eight slices of the stuff the night before.
I'm looking around for their oat-based zero net carb bread now.
UPDATE: Found it, and it has the best flavor of all. Warning: At 7 grams of soluble oat fiber per slice (very good for cholesterol, btw) is will, um, "bulk you up" considerably if you overindulge. If you know what i mean.... ;D
By the way, since i pretty much live on things like bacon, lard, heavy cream, mayonnaise, and meats, I was pretty much happy with my most recent lipid profile:Cholesterol: 199Triglycerides: 83HDL: 85LDL: 97VLDL: 17ER-Doc can tell you how those stack up in terms of health....
I don't eat a lot of bread, OG, but I like a sandwich every now and then. And I really wanted this stuff to make holiday stuffing, which I only eat twice a year.I don't think I'd eat a loaf or two a week of this bread, but it freezes well, and lets me have a taste without risking going off ketosis, which is all I ask.
That link is quite interesting, ND. Let us know how your oat flour experiments with sourdough go. And if you come up with something good, a recipe would be great!
Ketones are produced normally by the liver as part of fatty acid metabolism. In normal states these ketones will be completely metabolised so that very little, if any at all, will appear in the urine. If for any reason the body cannot get enough glucose for energy it will switch to using body fats, resulting in an increase in ketone production making them detectable in the blood and urine.

I understand it requires control of the diaphragm and air pressure, but how does one modulate it and are there any good exercises for training vibrato on a bassoon?
Good question and an important one --rather than offering my own personal views I suggest that one start by listening widely to other players, and not only bassoon players. For example, the fluctuation in pitch that is so characteristic of vibrato on the cello or violin may not be as attractive on the bassoon ---listen to terrific players and start to form an ideal with your inner ear before you worry about the physical means to this end. Also, listen to singers to help define what you consider desirable; and last and certainly not least, build as flexible a control of your vibrato a possible --it is an addendum to the expressive aspects of your playing and should be made constantly appropriate to the needs of the moment. Good luck .......
My teacher had the following suggestions:
If this works, increase to two and then more maxima.
The rest is the typical black magic. While really caused by the diaphragm, imagine control to be in the throat etc.

February 4, 1999-June 13, 1999
Dec 18, 1998
On February 4, 1999, Dia Center for the Arts will open to the public the second part of an exhibition of the work of German artist Thomas Schütte. This installation, entitled "Gloria in Memoria," will be on view on the fourth floor of Dia's galleries at 548 West 22nd Street, New York City, until June 13, 1999. Part III of the exhibition will open in September 1999 and will remain on view through March 2000. As of February 17, 1999, Dia's public opening hours will be expanded to Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon until 6 pm.
The first part of Dia's eighteen-month exhibition introduced the work of Thomas Schütte, one of the leading European artists of his generation, to new audiences. Schütte's work ranges widely, from early architectural installations to small-scale modeled figures and proposals for monuments, from extensive series of watercolors to banners, flags, and photographs. Although his art relates to many of the canonical genres of sculpture, like statuary or memorials, figurine or architectural embellishment, he typically undermines these familiar forms in order to reinvent them.
This second phase of the exhibition, "Gloria in Memoria," will include memorials and related forms, such as monuments commemorating individuals, as well as works of a more generic, existential import. Fabricated over more than a decade, these diverse monuments take many different forms, but attest to the artist's ongoing preoccupation with history, memory, mourning, and loss, and the problematics surrounding the construction of memorials in our contemporary world.
Finally, in the third installation, a new body of figure sculpture will be shown together with new works on paper. These will be complemented by examples from Schütte's much-acclaimed series United Enemies, small, puppetlike wax figures, presented both as sculpture and, in closeup, in a suite of large-scale photographs.
Thomas Schütte was born in Oldenburg, Germany, in 1954. He has had numerous solo exhibitions in Europe, and he participated in both Documenta 9 (1987) and Documenta 10 (1997) in Kassel. This three-part exhibition at Dia Center for the Arts will be his most substantial to date.
Support for this project has been provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, the members of the Dia Art Council and the Next Decade Fund, with additional assistance from Marian Goodman Gallery.
Dia Center for the Arts is a tax-exempt charitable organization. Established in 1974, the organization has become one of the largest in the United States dedicated to contemporary art and contemporary culture. In fulfilling this commitment, Dia sustains diverse programming in visual arts, poetry, education, and critical discourse and debate.

Right role for election losers
Winners and losers have one thing in common. Both try to shine the spotlight elsewhere — one out of humility, the other out of shame and anger. Consider the sad spectacle presented by soon-to-be-former Rep. Vickie O. Nardello, D-Prospect. The nine-term 89th District lawmaker lost narrowly to Republican Lezlye W. Zupkus, new to the state political scene, in the Nov. 6 election.
As reported in the Nov. 18 Republican-American, Rep. Nardello attributed her defeat to "negative literature disseminated by the Zupkus campaign and a super political action committee based in Fairfield called Voters for Good Government." She told the Cheshire Citizen, "The concern there is now you have interests outside of the towns and Connecticut weighing in on a state House race. You've got to ask yourself, 'Why would people do that?' In my case, you can tie it to energy ... wealthy corporate interests worked with my opponent to defeat me so I would no longer be chair of the Energy and Technology Committee."

That may have been fixed in a recent framework release. Have you tested with 4.2.1? Or at least tested a test case with 4.2.1 to see if the issue you're seeing in 4.1.0 persists in 4.2.1?Are you a Sencha products veteran who has wondered what it might be like to work at Sencha?

I've tried many different approaches to task management, but I always fail at one specific thing.
Being a programmer, I have loads of information that needs to be somehow stored. To be more specific, I have say 10-20 different types of projects I work on for my clients, each of them requires different approach and different knowledge.
What I have a problem with, is creating some kind of checklist that I could go through every time I start a project of a specific type. For example, if I'm about to do some HTML/CSS coding, I need to do certain things before I even start the project, I need to ask some specific questions and other related stuff.
On the other hand if I do a design work, I might need to look for some inspiration, which means I need to have some kind of a database of good looking stuff (sorry for oversimplifying this).
The problem is, I don't know how to manage and store these kinds of information. Should I just have folders with a little manual for each project type? Or sort my knowledge base based on some arbitrary categories and then browse through all the stuff?
If I keep the whole thing on paper, it becomes harder to manage, update and look at it from different angles. But on the other hand, I can't have everything in my PC, some stuff just works much better on paper.
So the bottom line question would be. How do you manage resources & knowledge base for your projects?

It Doesn't Sing
Beginning in Advent of this year, the language of the Mass will be very different. A new translation of the Roman Missal—the book of prayers used in the Mass—will be put into use in all Catholic churches in the English-speaking world. Some who have read the new prayers are pleased with the changes. Others are gravely concerned.
In recent months, priests in Ireland, Australia, the United States, and elsewhere have voiced objections, saying this translation is not what the church needs—and that it will be divisive. What is it about the new translation that has caused such an uproar?
We come to you, Father,
with praise and thanksgiving,
through Jesus Christ your Son.
Through him we ask you to accept and bless +
these gifts we offer you in sacrifice.
We offer them for your holy catholic Church....
So begins the first Eucharistic Prayer of the Roman Missal as it has been prayed by English-speaking Catholics since 1973. When the new Missal goes into effect in November, Catholics throughout the English-speaking world will hear these words instead:
To you, therefore, most merciful Father,
we make humble prayer and petition
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord:
That you accept
and bless + these gifts, these offerings,
these holy and unblemished sacrifices
which we offer you firstly
for your holy Catholic Church.
The current translation is simple and direct. It follows the speech patterns and rhythms of contemporary spoken English. It flows easily off the tongue. Its meaning is clear. The new translation, on the other hand, is mannered and complex. We arrive at the subject of the sentence only after we have heard the dative "to you"; the conjunction "therefore"; a superlative adjective "most merciful"; and a noun in apposition, "Father." The new translation is wordy. In place of "these gifts," we offer "these gifts, these offerings, these holy and unblemished sacrifices."
Having offered these gifts, offerings, holy and unblemished sacrifices firstly for the church, you might be thinking there is a secondly coming along in a paragraph or two. If so, you would be wrong. There is no secondly. So what does firstly mean in this context? It's not clear that it means anything at all.
Different words, same prayer? Both are translations of the same Latin text, yet the results are quite different. Change the words and you change the prayer.
The Problem of Clarity
Clarity and intelligibility were principles of liturgical renewal specifically named by the fathers of the Second Vatican Council in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Until 2001, those who translated liturgical texts into English placed a high priority on the council's mandate for clarity and intelligibility. Those were essential guiding principles of liturgical reform, not secondary considerations.
Since the publication of the new Vatican instruction on translation Liturgiam authenticam in 2001, however, other principles are deemed more important. They include: the exact rendering of each word and expression of the Latin, the use of sacral vocabulary remote from ordinary speech, and reproduction of the syntax of the Latin original whenever possible. When a choice must be made, those principles trump the principles of clarity and intelligibility. The result has been, not surprisingly, a translation that is filled with expressions not easily understood by English speakers. It has resulted in prayers that are long-winded, pointlessly complex, hard to proclaim, and difficult to understand.
There are many places in the new translation where the words simply don't make sense in English. On the First Sunday of Advent, we pray that we may "run forth with righteous deeds." What does that mean? Many expressions sound pompous: "profit our conversion," "the sacrifice of conciliation," "an oblation pleasing to your almighty power."
Some prayer texts are simply bewildering, such as this one from Preface VIII for Sundays in Ordinary Time:
For when your children were scattered afar by sin,
through the Blood of your Son and the power of the Spirit,
you gathered them again to yourself,
that a people, formed as one by the unity of the Trinity,
made the Body of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit,
might, to the praise of your manifold wisdom,
be manifest as the Church.
What is the main point? It is hard to tell. We are wandering in a dense forest of theological and biblical allusions here. There are traps for the unwary, too. If the speaker is not careful to separate the first line from the second and join the second with the third, separating them from the first, he ends up suggesting that the Blood of Christ and the power of the Spirit are instrumental in scattering God's children. Even read well, this prayer will likely lose all but its best-educated and most highly attentive hearers.
The new translation includes sentence fragments, odd locutions, opaque expressions, and redundancies. There are also historical oddities preserved for no good reason. Here is an example from Eucharistic Prayer I: "For them and all who are dear to them / we offer you this sacrifice of praise / or they offer it for themselves / and all who are dear to them...." Enrico Mazza, in his magisterial work The Eucharistic Prayers of the Roman Rite, explains that this mid-eighth-century addition ("or they offer it for themselves...") was originally a rubric, providing alternative wordings depending on whether those who requested the Mass were present or absent. The translators of the 1973 translation (and the 1998 version) spared us the useless puzzlement caused by such a text. The translators of the text we are about to receive did not. Why? Each word of the Latin had to be accounted for.
Not every passage Catholics will hear exhibits such strict adherence to the literal meaning of the Latin, however. In the second Eucharistic Prayer, the Latin text says quite clearly that we "stand in your presence." The Latin word astare means to stand. It doesn't mean anything else. The translation was changed by Vox Clara, the Vatican committee formed to advise the Holy See on the approval of liturgical texts. It was feared that use of the verb "to stand" would imply it is acceptable for the people to stand during the Eucharistic Prayer. (In fact, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal assumes that the common posture for the Eucharistic Prayer is standing, even though some individual bishops conferences have decreed otherwise.) The English now reads "be in your presence."
Other changes introduced by Vox Clara lack evident rhyme or reason. For example, the Latin word profusis, which appears at the conclusion of every preface of the Easter Season, is translated as "overcome." Profusis means "overflowing." When the world is described as overflowing with paschal joys, as the 2008 translation had it, one imagines graceful scenes from Botticelli. When reference is made to being overcome, one imagines smelling salts. This is one of an estimated ten thousand changes Rome made in the Missal after the bishops approved the translation in 2008.
The Problem of Length
The current translation is not without problems. At times it is simple to the point of banality. The richness of imagery and the theological depth of the Latin original does not always come through. The first retranslation of the Missal, which was approved by all the conferences of English-speaking bishops in 1998, addressed most of these problems quite effectively. Yet the Vatican judged that it did not go far enough. Now, with the 2010 translation, we have swung to the opposite extreme. The new translation is mired in long-winded complexity.
Overall, the length of the sentences in the new translation is staggering. The longest sentence of the Eucharistic Prayers has 82 words, the second longest, 72. All but one of the sentences in Eucharistic Prayer I are more than 40 words long. The current translation of that prayer has 18 sentences before the consecration. The new translation has 8.
The average number of words per sentence in the new Eucharistic Prayers is 35.4, compared to 20.6 at present—an increase of 78 percent. Are spoken texts in liturgy generally so wordy? Pope Benedict is not averse to using long, complex sentences. Yet his Ash Wednesday homily averaged 23.2 words per sentence. Certainly Scripture offers long sentences, especially in the writings of St. Paul. Yet the beloved eighth chapter of Paul's Letter to the Romans has an average sentence length of only 27.38. This final example provides the closest comparison, yet the new Missal far surpasses it.
In texts for oral proclamation, the length of sentences matters. When reading a text on paper, one can go back and examine it again. Not so for spoken prayers, especially those spoken on one particular day of the liturgical year, rather than those repeated throughout the year or liturgical season. A collect such as this one, which follows the Isaiah 54 reading in the Easter Vigil, offers a good example of what the new translation will bring us:
Almighty, ever-living God,
surpass for the honor of your name
what you pledged to the patriarchs by reason of their faith
and through sacred adoption increase the children of your promise
so that what the saints of old never doubted would come to pass
your Church may now see in great part fulfilled.
That 53-word sentence makes sense if one has the leisure to study it and perhaps to draw a diagram. But the person in the pew does not have that luxury. She or he will hear this prayer once a year at most. An individual word or phrase may ring a bell. But the essential meaning of the prayer will be lost. As an act of oral communication, a text such as this cannot but fail for the vast majority of Catholics. Like so many of the newly translated prayers, it will come across as theo-babble, holy nonsense.
There are already formidable challenges to oral comprehension built into the pastoral situations in which the liturgy is celebrated. International priests make up 22 percent of the active diocesan priesthood in the United States today. Accented English can make even our current translation difficult to understand. Many parish communities include a significant number of people whose first language is not English. They will be asked to digest sentences that even native English speakers will have a hard time comprehending. Children and youth and those who are less educated will also be placed at a great disadvantage.
Sidebar: A Timeline of the Roman Missal Crisis
Some Texts Heard at Every Mass
Several texts that are a regular part of every Mass are going to change. Not all the changes will be for the worse. For example, in the preface dialogue (which appears at the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer), the people will answer "It is right and just" in place of the familiar "It is right to give him thanks and praise." The phrase "It is right and just" comes from a Roman acclamation of public approval. It entered the liturgy at an early date. It is crisp, and easily understood in English. Furthermore, many of the prefaces that follow it begin "It is truly right and just...." The rhetorical force of this construction is blunted if one removes "It is right and just." Its reintroduction also happily avoids the tangle over inclusive language, which has divided assemblies into some who say "right to give him thanks and praise" and others who say "right to give God thanks and praise."
Despite such occasional bright spots, however, the overall picture is deeply discouraging. Here are a few examples.
And with your spirit
This response will replace the familiar "And also with you." The new text will remove a common element from the ecumenical consensus regarding liturgical texts. English-speaking Catholics, Protestants, and Anglicans have collaborated over the years to produce common liturgical texts as a way forward on the path to Christian unity. The greeting "The Lord be with you / And also with you" is an example of one such shared liturgical text. Yet, our dialogue partners have been completely excluded from the making of this new translation. "And with your spirit" exemplifies Rome's decision to "go it alone."
For you and for many
No longer will the Mass proclaim that Christ's sacrifice was offered "for all, so that sins may be forgiven." Rather, we will hear that it was offered "for many." Much attention has been paid to this change (see "All In?" by Toan Joseph Do, Commonweal, December 19, 2008); we do not need to rehearse all the arguments here. Suffice it to say that this little phrase is what one might call a "false friend"—an expression you're sure you understand, until you find out it means the opposite of what you were sure it meant. In normal English, many does not mean all. It means many. In the Mass, however, in our new sacral language, we have to remember that many means all. We can't say Christ died for all, because that's not what it says in the Latin. But we have to mean all because that is our Catholic theology.
Enter under my roof
When I first learned that the words of the Centurion were going to appear in the new translation, my expectations were positive. I remembered from my childhood this lovely acclamation: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. Speak but the word and my soul shall be healed." I loved its poetry and rhythm. It sang.
Alas, the translation we are about to receive is clunky. "Enter under" doesn't sing. It plods. It's also not idiomatic English. One has to stop and puzzle over the idea that the Lord is entering something or someplace by means of passing under my roof. I've found that not a few Catholics have assumed that the word roof refers to "the roof of my mouth."
He took the precious chalice in his holy and venerable hands
The new translation aims at creating a sacral language used only in church. The fact that a word is arcane or uncommon is no barrier to its usage. In fact, such words are sometimes preferred to those that have everyday usage. Thus the Latin word calix has been translated as "chalice," rather than "cup." The demand to translate every Latin word in the new translation has also resulted in the use of multiple adjectives. Yet English is especially effective when plain and unadorned. Multiple adjectives weaken a text rather than strengthen it. When adjectives pile up, the results seem stagy or false. English speakers are accustomed to hearing "When supper was ended, he took the cup." Such spare language is forceful. The new translation, by comparison, is fussy.
An especially unfortunate effect is created in this instance because it transforms Jesus into a priest saying Mass in a church. A chalice is put into the hands of Jesus at the Last Supper. Of course chalice is a word never used in modern English except to describe our sacred vessel in the Mass. The holy hands of the priest at Mass, so much a staple of the mystique of ordination, provide the template for how to describe the hands of Jesus. This sort of language is jarringly anachronistic. It compromises Jesus' historicity in order to exalt the clergy.
Because prayer engages the heart and the imagination, differences on the affective level are highly significant. The image of the assembly's relationship to God and the emotional tone accompanying that relationship will not be the same come November. The old is marked by an attitude of reverence, joy, and trust. God is great and we are small, but the relationship is one of love. As a child might run to a parent with unaffected gladness, so we come into the presence of our God ("We come to you, Father...").
Not anymore. Now we come before God as a suppliant might address a monarch, with flattery and self-abasement. Because we are sinners, it is necessary to ingratiate ourselves with him. We do this by courtly address ("We make humble prayer before you"). This change is underlined in the Confiteor in the Penitential Act that takes place at the beginning of Mass. This moment will become an occasion to beat our breast and say "Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault."
All these dispositions—joyful trust, fear of the Lord, consciousness of sin—are part of the Christian life. But the dominant note will change. Will this change be welcomed? Or will it be greeted with incomprehension and confusion? The presumption that God prefers courtly language in prayer, a settled presumption of the Latin text, has had more than forty years to recede from public consciousness. Will its sudden reintroduction invite the faithful into more authentic worship, or will it merely distance them from the God whom Scripture calls "my joy, my delight" (Ps. 43:4)?
Where is this new translation taking us? It is important to realize that negative responses to the new translation reflect both dismay at the wording of the text and disagreement with the principles that guided its production. Yet the conflict goes deeper than an argument over theories of translation. That the new translation of the Roman Missal should come to us replete with embarrassing gaffes, nonsensical passages, and a near-total lack of accountability is as clearly a symptom of the misuse of authority as it is the fault of the questionable set of translation principles enunciated in Liturgiam authenticam. Yet even the misuse of authority is not the root cause of the immense disquiet and even outrage that this translation has aroused.
Beneath the words of the new translation, one senses a drive to minimize the practical effects of Vatican II. The reforms of Vatican II prized clarity and intelligibility in the liturgy; they gave priority to the work of ecumenism and evangelization; they respected the local work of bishops conferences; they invited aggiornamento and engagement with the world. This vital heritage is being eclipsed by another agenda. We are seeing a wooden loyalty to the Latin text at the price of clarity and intelligibility. We are seeing a retreat from advances already made in ecumenism. We are seeing the proper role of local bishops and bishops conferences increasingly taken over by the authorities in Rome. We are seeing the liturgy reimagined as an event taking place in some sacral space outside of our world, rather than the beating heart of a world made new.
Yes, we can get used to the new translation of the Roman Missal. But we shouldn't. The church can do better, and deserves better, than this.

I think you underestimate the intelligence of people. The banal, "dumbed down" translation currently in force does not fully represent what the prayers really say. If you are looking for a translation that "sings" better, perhaps you should consider attending Novus Ordo Masses in Latin?
Thank you Rita for this article. I agree with you that the new Roman Canon translation is quite strange and confusing at times. The in primis of the prayer Te Igitur would probably be better translated "especially" or similar, and not "firstly" for the reasons you give. There are many instances of interesting (?) translation decisions in the new Roman Canon translation, beginning with a few in the first prayer alone. One could pen an entire article on these inconsistencies.
Even so, the 1967 ICEL translation of the Roman Canon (carried over into the 1973 Sacramentary) contains many paraphrases which are often quite frustrating for those who read Latin. I agree that the 1967 translation is much easier to understand when spoken. I also respect the academic integrity of ICEL's research (sadly, the more recent translators did not release to the public an academic study of their translation). The ICEL Roman Canon sentences are unencumbered with relative clauses. Latin loves relative clauses, however. A translation from Latin which avoids almost any relative clause will necessarily become a paraphrase.
The way around this impasse is to not translate the Roman Canon. A mixture of vernacular and sacral language is not foreign to the Universal Church. Even today, the Maronite rite of the Church retains portions of Syriac in its mostly vernacular liturgy. The inadequacies of both the 1967 and 2010 translations of the Roman Canon suggest that the "Canon Missae" should be recited or sung in Latin only. The experience of the Maronites and other rites in union with Rome might guide the Roman Rite towards a more fluid integration of sacral and vernacular languages.
In its wisdom, the Church has provided the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite with many more easily translated eucharistic prayers. The centuries of beautiful accretions found in the Canon retain their logic, literary beauty, and even theological integrity only when presented in our sacral language. Perhaps it's time to admit that certain prayers of the Roman Mass are best left as is, even if the Latin presents a catechetical challenge to catechists and preachers.
A brilliant exposition of the results of the new transliteralization. Blessings on you, Rita, and thanks!
Absolutely on target, Rita. Many thanks. It is going to be a difficult year, as they roll this translation out and try to explain its virtue and necessity. The Archdiocese of New York has provided a preview in an official set of Church Bulletin inserts available on the Diocesan website of the sort of thing we will probably hear. Read and Weep.
Bravisima! Particularly well said - smelling salts and theo-bable.
May our enslavement in this foreign land be short-lived.
For a little more than a year now, I have followed the debate about the New Missal at the PrayTell blog. Clearly and simply, Rita's article is the best summary of the case against the New Missal.
As a social scientist, I signed the whatifwejustwait petition because it is vital that we test market the contents of the New Missal, get away from back room arguments among bureaucrats and ideologists, and find out how the people perceive the text. Ideally we would have done that in the early phases of the composition of the New Missal. The petition proposed to test market the New Missal in some parishes and dioceses before implementing elsewhere.
All is not lost! We could still use both Missals at the same time. If, beginning Advent 2011, half the Masses in each parish used the New Missal and half used the Current Missal we could find out if people prefer the New Missal to the Current One. Over the months, if more people preferred one version over the other, then have more Masses in the preferred version.
Much has been made about whether or not this and other measures coming out of Rome are a roll back of Vatican II. Essentially parish priests should have the same authority in regard to continuing to use of the Current Missal that Rome has given them to use the Old Latin Mass, namely if the people want it. If Rome and the Bishops discipline priests who use the same pastoral principle to keep using the Current Mass, then it is reasonable to conclude that Rome is attempting to undo Vatican II. They would be promoting the Old Latin Mass to attract people who view Vatican II as heretical while disallowing the continued use of a Missal text translated according to Vatican II.
I agree with the previous posters who found this article well written and insightful. Particularly, the paragraph about minimizing the legacy of Vatican II is astute. There is a rejection of ecumenism in the new translation: when the benefit of having Anglicans and other non-Roman Catholics using similar and even identical prayers is lost, the distance between these groups can only increase. There seems also to be an eclipse of the Vatican II hope that communal prayer would help the laity understand and embrace the Christian dimension of their work in the world, rather than providing an other-worldly retreat from social and political problems. As the author writes, "We are seeing the liturgy reimagined as an event taking place in some sacral space outside of our world, rather than the beating heart of a world made new."
In terms of readability of the English translation, I find especially frustrating the proliferation of Latin-modeled relative clauses that are empty in English. One example from Rita's article is "what you pledged to the patriarchs " from the Easter Vigil collect from Isaiah 54. If I think about it, I can recall some promises that Yahweh made to partriarchs. But which pledge is the prayer about, and what is the point of leaving this lacuna? Two lines later we find another example of empty clause: "what the saints of old never doubted would come to pass." What DID the saints of old never doubt would come to pass, and which saints should we have in mind--the disciples who knew Christ, Roman-era martyrs, desert hermits, early Medieval monks, nuns, or doctors of the Church? It seems to me that various generations of early saints had divergent expectations, from Jesus' imminent return to the conversion of warring pagan tribes. Nowhere in the six lines quoted do we learn the identify of the pledge to patriarchs or of the expectation of the saints of old, yet the prayer petitions God to fulfill and surpass these. Can the people in the pews know what they are praying for? These lines indeed become "theo-babble" and bible-babble--"holy nonsense."
Such passages too quickly abandon the relational dimension of prayer to become lessons instead. The congregation begins by addressing God, but then immediately wanders astray into bible stories, catechism, or church history--in clauses that are empty of real content. It is as though the translators intended a kind of truncated didacticism, or as though the mention of key words like "patriarchs" and "early saints" would put church-goers in mind of a 'chosen people' identity as Catholics. Such objectives are not compatible with turning prayerfully toward God. The translators might succeed in writing a new morality play to teach the rudiments of theology if they gave it a good try, but real prayer does not seem to be their forte.
A fine critique of the new translation. I had reviewed all the texts of the new missal a few weeks ago, and jotted down some of the things the translation has done for Mary:
She received the ineffable word from God, as well as prevenient grace.
She is now a tender virgin, who is called the virginal chamber where Jesus will dwell.
On her feast we ask to experience in perpetuity the fruits of the redemption.
She is also privileged to have the collect with perhaps the most commas (nine) in the new Missal:
"O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin prepared a worthy dwelling for your Son, grant, we pray, that, as you preserved her from every stain by virtue of the Death of your Son, which you foresaw, so, through her intercession, we, too, may be cleansed and admitted to your presence." (Feast of the Immaculate Conception)
I hope the new version is provisional, open to adjustment, as was the initial English version. That one hadn't been tested by being read aloud at Mass. "You who" was repeated a few times in I think it was the Creed or someplace. It sounded like "Yoohoo." Changes were made: no more yoohoos.
Excellent analysis and precisely why I will no longer worship as a Catholic come Advent. Vatican II gave us the right to worship in our vernacular. This articles clearly supports my point that Anglicized Latin is not our vernacular. Rome has rammed this down our throats as part of a long-term concerted effort by Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict and the Roman Curia (the Restorationists) roll back the ecclesiastical, theological, and ecumenical advances of Vatican II.
Absolutely 100% spot-on. I had a sudden insight today. No matter what the bishops of India do, the American bishops are not going to do anything about the liturgy translations for one reason: They will make money from it. They own the copyrights, not only on the liturgical texts but on the New American Bible (Revised Edition), and they are going to collect the royalties. The deal that they have cut with the Catholic Biblical Association seems to indicate that they are hard-pressed for cash (an interesting development!), so they are going to go forward no matter what. Even if they 'lose' in the end, they'll just make more money by issuing revised texts later. And those might sell better! If they retracted approval now, they might owe Liturgical Press and some other publishers some major cash, for copies either unsold or now unusable. Set this in the context of perhaps 30 million former Catholics in the U.S.: Consider if each of these 30 million put only one dollar in the collection only once a month, on average. As Senator Everett Dirksen used to say, "Pretty soon you're talking about a lot of money." That would be $360 million/year. If those same 30 million Catholics averaged only one dollar PER WEEK, the total would be a staggering $1.56 BILLION per year. Perhaps this explains why the bishops may find themselves so short of cash that they feel the need to short-change their own biblical scholars. Perhaps it is mostly about money.
I was going to say the new translation was about stupidity until I read the comment of Michael Cassidy that it is mostly about money. Rita Ferrone does a superb job of showing how the Vatican is trying to obsure rather than share and proclaim. The Vartican will say that there is nothing wrong with obscurity as you have us to explain it all to you. Rightly. The Vatican can continue to show that it knows what it is doing. After all who else built a burial place for Maciel in Rome and all but declared this dives pedophile a saint, prevented Cardinal Law from prison and persecuted so many saints. The move to obscurity should continue so it will be more difficult to uncover what they are doing.
With the wholesale rejection of the Second Vatican Council and now this bishop approved new translation of the Roman Missal our bishops have gone from tragedy to farce.
I found the article well-researched, knowledgeable, and convincing, almost frighteningly so. Its penultimate paragraph was especially disturbing (anyone can obfuscate with Latin and Greek loan words). The tendency in Rome that most concerns me is the return to Catholic triumphalism. I see the "New" Missal as a way to further proclaim how "right" our patriarchal, Roman monarchical church leaders believe themselves to be ... pedophilia, homophobia, and misogyny notwithstanding. But since I believe that the cardinals were either misguided or cowardly in electing the present pope, I doubt most of them would object to a return to the church of the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Reformation witch-hunts.
It doesn't sing, I agree. At best this English translation limps and plods along. Even if one were unfamiliar with the Latin original, one would find the English prose awkward, stilted, and tortured. No one with any sense of English style would write this way. I have, however, sixty years of experience working with Classical Latin authors. The translators have ignored the basic rule for translators. One does not translate words but meaning. This requires one to find the most appropriate words in the target language to convey the meaning of the original. As for diction, chalice is not a Latin word. It has come into English thru Old French. My Lewis & Short tells me that "cup" will do nicely as a translation for Latin "calix". it is a pity that a group of Roman clerics have presumed themselves capable providing a new translation of the Roman missal for the English-speaking world.

Thanks for the article. I fear the changes that are happening...and now with the New Roman Missal. On a very personal level my own parish has changed so much recently. Our new "fundamentalist" priest speaks of returning our parish to being a "real" Catholic Church. I miss the openness and warmth of the old one, where rules were presented in the context of how a 'practice' could help one on their faith journey and in their relationship with God. Now 'compliance' to rules is preached as a way to guarantee a place in heaven. Why would we as a Chuch go back to fear-based religiosity?
I agree that the new translation doesn't sing. But I wish that the author had compared the current (1970) translation and the new (2011) translation against the Latin text and perhaps a "neutral" translation of that text. My understanding has always been that the 1970 translation was done in haste and that it sort of butchered the Latin - so that sonorous phrases like "from the rising of the sun to its setting" - which are in the original Latin and in the translations to every other European language - come out in English as "from east to west." It could be that the 2011 translation is accurate but doesn't sing, while the 1970 translation is inaccurate but does sing. If that's the case, then maybe the polemics on both sides of the translation dispute are overstated.
I feel sorry for the American bishops. In a few months time those who have an eye for such things will notice fewer communicants on Sundays. They will be baffled, no doubt, that attendance has fallen during Advent and Christmas, and be scratching their heads when there's no recovery in the new year. They never will connect their decisions made in national meetings over the last several years with the newest exodus. They won't remember that this disaster started with a few folk in Rome, some of whom were not English speakers nor seasoned liturgists. And then it went downhill from there. They won't remember that people like to participate in worship and not be reduced to witnesses who don't understand the compound-complex sentences. They will note the declining communicants, but never recognize their role in showing communicants to the door. They never will ask "What could I have done?" or "We've got to fix this!" And the communicants will quietly visit the nearby Episcopal parish, or a methodist or Lutheran church and be welcomed. Some will simply make Sunday morning a time reserved for the newspaper and Sunday talking heads, joining the huge number of "former Catholics."
Some years back the current pope was asked how many way there were to finding God and he answered that there were as many as there were people looking. If this looking is to be done at mass, it might seem that there are many ways in which one will be doing it. If so, the author's contention at the end of her piece---"The church can do better, and deserves better, than this."---begs the asking of better for whom. One liturgical way may not fit all.
Prior to the changes of Vatican II, I did much of my looking for God at Mass in worship of my God---Holy smoke, the priest and all of us facing together to God, and Hymns and prayers in words that had come down through the ages (OK, Ok already---so just back to the counter-reformation). In short, I find my God in worship, and in the past at Mass in an experience that Abraham Heschel coined to be "the wisdom of awe."
I have never been able to reason my way to a belief in my God. For me, like for Samuel Beckett, "Nothing is more real that nothing." But oh my God, there does seem to be something and I wish I could more readily find it in worship at Mass---holy smoke and all the mumbo jumbo.
I don't think that I am alone in this. At Sunday Mass prior to last Ash Wednesday our priest announced all of the various times to receive the ashes and said in closing that he was not sure why so many came that day but would miss Sunday Mass. I understood their need to worship their way to finding God.
To quibble with Dr. Ferrone on just one point: the translation of "igitur" in EP I (following the sanctus) as "therefore" is an important improvement. The word links the thanksgiving of the preface/sanctus with the actions that follow. The offering, anamnesis and petitions are a consequence of the church's thanks. By including "therefore" the new translation supports the fact that the preface/sanctus is an integral part of the eucharistic prayer. In EP I this is crucial because the preface is where almost all the thanksgiving is. One might instead ask why the word "qui" which begins the instutition narrative was again not translated at all. We might guess that there is a discomfort among some in revealing to our people that the institution narrative is, in the Roman tradition, a dependent clause. Quietly avoided, through selective mistranslation, is a perhaps-too-dangerous opportunity to present a clearer picture of what a eucharistic prayer is and does.
To all who are objecting to the introduction of the New Roman Missal, I can only offer the advice that has been given to me over the past 30 years whenever I expressed my prference for the pre-Vatican II Mass:
"Change is a part of life"
"Why don't you leave the church"
"grow up"
"We are Church"
And so on. So, the wheel is turning and all the liturgical libs are having a fit. I must confess to experiencing some measure of enjoyment from all the whining.
November 27 can't come soon enough.
As a convert to Catholicism, and a polyglot, the difference between the text of Spanish and English Masses became immediately clear to me. Since Spanish evolved more consistent with Latin than English, I concluded long ago that the translation was more accurate in Spanish than in English. While this did not affect my Faith, the first thing I noticed about the new Order of Mass in English was its consistency with the Spanish version.
Some of the differences are significant enough -- in the ambiguity the still current translation allows -- I must question if some external agenda informed the translation of the outgoing text. Why would anyone want the message unclear when it does not have to be? If how well a translation "sings" matters most, we would all use the King James Bible.
In my near-immediate conversion a few years ago the words of Mass mattered less than the actual experience of my first two Masses. It actually bothered me a bit that I thought some of the English text inconsistent with those experiences. The Spanish translation, however, was always consistent with these perceptions. The new Order of Mass in English aligns better with what I esoterically recognized as the intent and purpose of Mass than the current English version.
Put the letter out of your minds, let the Spirit give it life, and you will hear it singing.
Good grief! Jesus was plain spoken and used simple words. No one would have had to have a thesaurus at hand to understand him. Why do we need to make the words of our worship so convoluted and distant? Who decided that the Latin of the so-called Roman Missal was so great to begin with? Our summer supply priest was recently critiqued for using the eucharistic prayers for reconciliation and for children. People complained that he was celebrating an 'invalid' mass. All we need to remember is Jesus himself saying: 'Woe to you scribes and pharisees...' My kids and grandkids are not going to return to church in droves. And like Robert above, I fear another substantial exodus of people disappointed and discouraged by it all.
Dear Rita,
I just got around to reading your piece on the new Missal. "It doesn't sing." Perhaps because I agree with everything in it, it seems to me the best thing I have read about the entire situation. Your tactfully posed and well-documented assertions make an excellent case that we do indeed deserve better. Thanks again. I'm forwarding it to everybody I know. I always enjoy reading your articles and books. Your wonderful influence during your years at saint Anthony in Oceanside are still very strongly felt. Even by those who came in after you left the scene. Keep up the good work.
All good wishes,
To the Catholic teenager who is gay or lesbian, when they hear that Jesus died for many... will they know they are included in the many or that they hit the cutting room floor... maybe the words of the Catechism will help...
"This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial."
My fear is that it will take one well meaning bishop in the DOMA argument to let us know that gays and lesbians are disordered and the younger ones will know that Jesus' "many" does not include them. If the appeal is to the scriptures of Mark and Matthew where "many" is used then why not allow the Luke text where the word "many" is not used. Simply reasoned, is it possible that the Gentile author of Luke knew very well what happens when we as humans start to define (read control) "many" to create a heavily nuanced change to the understanding the Christ died for all.
Also please realize the ecumenical versions of the Gloria and Creed will also not be walking the same road come Advent. The Catholics will have their own... let's be honest if it was only about the Latin, then formally translate away. These changes are an agenda of their own and Rita Ferrone has skillfully pointed out where the assembly's role and importance has been formally pushed aside.
Wow, you people obviously have no appreciation or proper understanding of the movement that has inspired the rewording of the Missal. Alot of the examples of the word changes given in the article are simply returns to what the wording always was. The correct wording. Christ Himself said "....My Blood, which shall be shed for you and for many unto the remission of sins." From the examples the article gave, it seems like Rome is simply correcting some of the erroneous changes made to the Missal after Vatican II and restoring them to what they should have always stayed. And if this is a "move away from ecumenistic principles", that is the whole point!! What sort of Catholic idea is it to conform our liturgy and the Truths of the Faith to please Protestants, Jews, Muslims, and any other sort of false religion that is out there?
Mr. Mahon, it was very sad to hear that "you will no longer worship as a Catholic come Advent", apparently simply becuase the watered-down, altered wording of the Missal is being changed back in many places to what it always was. Wow, how much does your Faith matter to you? Do you know what it means to be a Catholic?
Another note: "Catholic teenagers who are gay or lesbian" are not Catholics in the proper sense of the word at all. You can't be a Catholic and be gay at the same time; unless you're a Catholic in name only, of course. Any more than you can say you're a Catholic while you believe that abortion is ok, or that Darwin's theory of evolution is true.
And the phrase "Christ died for many" doesn't mean that He didn't die for all; of course He died for the salvation of the whole human race, but that doesn't mean that everyone is automatically guaranteed heaven. He obtained the means for us all to be saved, and laid down the conditions by which men could receive the benefits of His Death, but it is for us to cooperate with them and do as He commanded. The phrase, spoken by Christ Himself, "..the chalice of My Blood, which shall be shed for you and for many unto the remission of sins" shows that He knew not all would profit by His death; that though He died for all, many would not be saved. Many would be, but not all. That should be obvious to anyone who knows anything of Catholic doctrine.
The new Missal is yet another attempt to do away with the gains of Vatican II. Vatican II gave us the right to worship in our vernacular. Transliterated Latin is NOT our vernacular. As for me, I will not be saying the new words. I have joined the Episcopal church. No new Missal and justice for women and gays and lesbians!!!
I do not have the full texts of the old and of the new translation at hand but have noticed that somewhere after the Consecration we are now asking that the Church should grow in charity -- formerly it was "in love". I know that in the past there were disputes in America about the right rendering of "caritas", but suspect that the semantic development has progressed further and that in the present common understanding in American English "charity" does NOT mean what the Latin "caritas" does. It would be absurd (I think) to translate the title of Benedict XVI's first encyclical, "Deus caritas est" as "God is charity".
Like Joseph Mahon, I also will not be saying some of the new words: I have thought it through carefully and am now only selectively praying what the new translation offers, basing my choices---and my resistance---on what I know of proper English and biblical theology (surely the two areas most transgressed against in new Missal). On a related note: if there ever had been a project where the principle of subsidiarity needed to come into play, surely the new missal translation (assuming a new translation really was needed in the first place) is that project.

It might be worth the effort to track down an exact copy of that ordinance. (Could be one for the city and another for your county.) Some government employees 'think' they know the law or misquote a more restrictive version to cover their butt. I bring this up because a city I once lived in forbade firing 'projectiles' onto or across a neighbor's property without his permission. In other words, in THAT PARTICULAR CITY an airgun fired at a sparrow with a definite backstop to keep the projective in my yard would be OK. "Projectile" would include airgun pellets. Shooting sparrows out of your fruit trees would not fly in that case. Shooting them on the ground in front of a solid fence is possibly another story... IF... IF... IF your local ordinances are clear on that. Check first. Your mileage may vary but you also might get some good news.
Yup. I even asked her that if Air gun uses pellets are consider a "firearm". She said, nope. But no matter it is a BB or Pellet gun, It is a violation to shoot on the stree, park or my own back yard, everywhere in this city, The Disney fire work they have every night is louder bang that always shake my windows but it was okay for them. lol

SBNF is less than an hour away from you, and it was crawling with everything from quail to brush birds, to ground squirrels, and an over abundance of rabbit (both jack and cottontail) sign two days ago . We so often overlook our own back yards (local mountains).Good luck on the city ordinance, but I can pretty much tell you what any city in the OC will say .
I need to go out this weekend to find me a good spot to hunt some sparrows............so itches.......... lol

According to reports, Degrassi graduate Drake hung out with culinary titan Guy Fieri Saturday night. Obviously, this is a big deal. Thankfully, someone took a picture of the historic meeting. As my colleague Max Read wrote, the photograph is "possibly the all-time achievement of the mimetic image." In it, a focused Drake stares intently as he stirs some sort of sauce (marinara? chocolate? donkey sauce?) while a patient, wise-seeming Fieri looks on.
The two seem to be in the middle of some sort of deep conversation. Sure, it's probably related to cooking at that exact moment, but what else do you think the two discussed? For instance, did they talk about their various high profile beefs? Between Chris Brown, Common and DMX, Drake has faced plenty of Pete Wells-like criticism in his life. Or was the Toronto rapper, an expert in the art of attempting to seduce journalists, offering Fieri advice on how to garner better press?
There is literally no end to the possibilities.

Ambassador to Canada Dr. Mohammad Ridha Al-Hussaini has denied media reports alleging that dual Canadian-British citizen Mr. William Sampson, who was convicted and imprisoned for crimes in the Kingdom, had been tortured. Ambassador Al-Hussaini stressed that the Kingdom's laws forbid all forms of torture, and that Saudi Arabia is one of the signatories of international agreements banning racism, torture and inhumane and degrading punishments. He referred to the fact that Canadian officials have confirmed that previous reports of Sampson suffering torture in Saudi Arabia were incorrect. Moreover, the Canadian Ambassador to the Kingdom had reported Sampson telling consular officials that he had been well treated. Sampson's father, who visited him twice, reported the same. Ambassador Al-Hussaini pointed out that Sampson, who was recently pardoned and released, has health problems due to his addiction to smoking, that he was provided with medical help when he needed it, and that he underwent two successful heart operations in the Kingdom.
Statement by Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Ottawa, Dr. Mohammed R. Al-Hussaini on case of Canadian citizen William Sampson was posted on September 10, 2003:
Commenting on recent reports regarding the alleged torture of Westerners, including Canadian William Sampson, who also carries a British passport, who were all released recently after they were granted royal clemency, the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Ottawa, Dr. Mohammed R. Al-Hussaini, said:
I am personally very pleased that Mr. William Sampson and the other Britons have been granted royal clemency and that they have joined their families. However, this does not mean that they are not guilty. I do not expect any one of those released to admit his guilt, or to say that he was living happily in detention.
I deny that Mr. Sampson was subjected to torture. On one occasion, Canadian officials themselves revealed that there was no truth to the stories that Mr. Sampson had been tortured or ill-treated. On January 30, 2002, a Canadian Foreign Affairs spokesman dismissed the allegations that Mr. Sampson was tortured as "unsubstantiated", adding that Mr. Sampson did not complain about his treatment.
On another occasion, the Canadian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia stated to CBC News that Mr. Sampson told Canadian consular officials who met him on January 24, 2001, that he was treated well.
On April 30, 2001, this Embassy issued a first entry visa for Mr. James Sampson to visit his son William, whom he was able to meet twice during his short stay in Saudi Arabia. Mr. James Sampson reported that his son was in good health and that the Saudis were "very friendly".
Contrary to what Mr. William Sampson said in his interviews, his father has never complained of any mistreatment against him by the Saudi authorities during his five visits to Saudi Arabia, let alone that his life was threatened. In fact, at one point the life of the father of Mr. William Sampson was threatened by the violent actions of his son rather than by the Saudi authorities.
Upon the request of the Canadian Government, the Saudi Government allowed a Canadian medical doctor from Ontario together with a Saudi doctor to visit Mr. Sampson in detention. They were able to see him on November 4, 2001. The findings of the medical report revealed that Mr. Sampson was stable, physically and mentally sound, and, thus, he was capable of taking decisions and assuming responsibility for his actions.
Also, Mr. Sampson refused to be with any other detainee in the same room; so, upon his request, he was put by himself in a room large enough for ten people, provided with all amenities of comfort.
In his own handwriting, Mr. Sampson has renounced his Canadian citizenship.
It is also worthwhile to note the following facts with regards to Mr. Sampson's treatment:
• Mr. Sampson had two successful heart surgeries in the best hospitals of Saudi Arabia and he was provided with medical attention as much as needed. His heart problems had nothing to do with the condition of the prison. Mr. Sampson is a heavy smoker and had heart problems and was on medications before his detention.
• On July 16, 2001, the Embassy informed the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade that it was possible for Mr. James Sampson to visit his son at any time he wished, in spite of his strong criticism of the Kingdom's judicial system.
• Upon Mr. Sampson's request during the psychiatrist's visit, he was offered three special meals of pizza and hamburgers three times a week, but he refused the special meals.
• Minister Don Boudria, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, who was on an official visit to Saudi Arabia from the 2nd to the 8th of September, 2002, was able, together with then Canadian Ambassador to Riyadh Mr. Melvyn McDonald, to meet Mr. William Sampson on Friday September 6, 2002. Although Mr. Sampson refused to meet any Embassy officials including his family members, the Saudi authorities made it possible for the Minister and the Ambassador to see Mr. Sampson by transferring him from his detention to a hospital for regular medical tests so that they could see him and talk to him without any violent reaction from Mr. Sampson.
• The laws in Saudi Arabia prohibit torture in all its forms. The Kingdom is a signatory to the International Convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and the Convention against torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment.
• Allegations of Mr. Sampson being tortured have not been proven. On the contrary, he was given full medical attention and access to legal representation, to his father and Canadian Government and Consular Officials in Riyadh, as well as to Canadian Parliamentarians.
• All of these facilitations granted to Mr. Sampson negate any insinuations that he was mistreated or tortured.
Finally, we should appreciate the release of Mr. William Sampson by royal clemency and look forward to strengthening the good existing relationship between Canada and Saudi Arabia. There are more than 8,000 Canadians working happily in Saudi Arabia, and the number of Canadians willing to go to Saudi Arabia is steadily increasing. There are more than 863 Saudi doctors training and studying in Canada, and more than 2,500 doctors presently applying to join the different Canadian universities in the coming year.

Berroco Loves Ravelers, Pt. 2
I've been at it again – browsing Ravelry and finding lots of projects designed with Berroco yarns! It's time for another independent pattern round-up…
Robyn Gallimore's Floraison, using Ultra Alpaca Fine
This two-color sock pattern is full of fun details. A floral design is contrasted with checkerboard patterning and Latvian braids, ensuring that you'll never have a boring moment while working on these socks!
Thea Colman's Egg Nog, using Ultra Alpaca
I loved the photo of this purple version test-knitted by Amy. The smocked stitch detailing is beautiful, and the shape of the sweater gives it loads of versatility. Ultra Alpaca's softness and drape are a perfect match for it, and the wide range of colorways means the possibilities are endless…
Amy Meade's 3S Shawl, using Berroco Sox
3S stands for super-wide and super simple (both appealing qualities), and this pattern also features some neat alternative options including eyelets and decorative bind-off choices. This shawl really shows off the beautiful colors of Sox.
Heidi Kirrmaier's Harvest Moon, using Blackstone Tweed
This beautiful top-down cardigan is well-proportioned with a flattering fit. The wide textured neckband is echoed by the curved pockets. The soft Blackstone Tweed yarn perfectly complements this design's simplicity.
It's so inspiring to see these great designs – thanks to all the designers for choosing our yarns!

I first found Berroco yarns when looking for a machine washable chunky yarn fora cabled sweater. Berroco Comfort Chunky fit the bill. And Berroco Comfort worsted weight was perfect for a cabled cardigan. Mica turned out to be exactly what I wanted for a lacy summer shrug. Then Comfort again for another cardigan. Though I consider other brands, I'm now hooked on Berroco! The wide range of weights, fibers and colors mean I always find what I'm looking for in one of your lines.August 6, 2011
I adore Berroco yarns and have designed several patterns using them. Newly released Fiddlehead Scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fiddlehead-scarf-2) uses Vintage and the Marilyn Shawl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/marilyn-shawl) uses Ultra Alpaca Light. I'm currently designing a crocheted wrap using Remix and will be releasing soon two patterns using Ultra Alpaca.August 16, 2011

I'm surprised that there were no crochet items using Berroco yarns.November 4, 2011

Police: Suicide bombing at US Embassy, 2 dead
POSTED: 7:53 AM Feb 01 2013 UPDATED: 10:51 AM Feb 01 2013
A police official says a suicide bomber has detonated an explosive device at the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital and at least two people are dead.
An Associated Press journalist on Friday saw a body in the street in front of an embassy side entrance. The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the entrance of the embassy.
Private NTV television said two security guards at the entrance were killed.
The police official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules. The phones were not being answered at the embassy.

Brandon Watson shows off the new Windows Phones being announced today at Nokia World. Hear all the news!
Oops, something didn't work.
awsome stuff, especially the xbox companion app!
reeeally really hope its not only for *shudder*zune*shudder* but that you also can play content from from your regular network... [nas, win7]
They are looking awesome, currently shopping for the best deal on a Nokia Lumia 800 (SeaRay). I gotta get me one of those
Still no front facing camera.
@dentaku : Personally for me that isn't a big deal, I've had one on phones for years and have used it a total of 0 times. Though I'm always a sucker for shiny new gadgets so no doubt i'll upgrade again from the 800 when the new models come out
You guys have got to start taking WP7 into account when posting videos on Microsoft sites, most of your stuff wont work on WP7 but does on android and iphone.
Why no front facing camera on the lumia 800????? FAIL!
Tango video calling just announced to roll out after two weeks. What´s the point with no front facing camera?
Microsoft have been working very closely with Nokia for a year... (sure)
I really want one but I don't think it's coming to the US.
@efjay:Just tried clicking on the play button on the home page of C9 from my Samsung Focus and it started playing the video. I assume it's just playing the MP4.
Go Brandon!
and I still can't get my update on my focus v1.4

What? No love for Laura?! :O
I was surprised to see a lack of a FF camera as well with Tango coming out and more importantly, Skype before years end. Very nice looking device though, Meego was the only thing I didn't like about the N9 so it is a plus but since I live in the US anyway I guess I'll just have to wait an see what else is on the way in 2012 ... bummer.
