Rated 4 out of 5 by shealy03 from Too Narrow, Even Though I Purchased a Wide I would have loved to have these shoes: they are just my style, but I originally purchased a 9 (my regular size) in standard width. Tried them on, and took them off immediately -- too short and too narrow -- they hurt! So I returned the shoes and ordered a 10/Wide. They were still too small for me so, as much as I wanted to make this work, it just didn't.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Zmrzlina from Pretty, but Pinchy The shoes are very nice, and the 5.5 is just about perfect for my small feet. However, the material at the vamp is a bit too bulky causing the shoes to pinch. I don't think it has to do as much with width as it does with bulk, but perhaps if they came in a wide I would have found them more comfortable.

Rated 2 out of 5 by sm1352 from too narrow I found these mocs ran too narrow and small. I have an average size foot so I was surprised they were so small. I returned them and ordered another pair of shoes(not the mocs) and they fit fine.
Date published: 2013-08-28
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rachel from not comfortable at all The shoes are just a little narrow in overall. But It does quite tight in the front part, and makes my little toe hurt badly.
Date published: 2013-11-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by Turtle from Bought these loafers and love them! I thought at first these shoes looked too old fashioned, but because of my foot and leg problem I thought they would suit me best, and when I received them I was surprised at how cute and fashionable they were. I love them. Very comfortable, soft and have great support.
Date published: 2013-08-19
Rated 4 out of 5 by Barb1234 from Loved the style, softness of the leather, buckle on the shoe. The left shoe was fine, the right shoe was so tight across the instep it was painful to wear. I felt it would not stretch, so I returned them.
Date published: 2013-09-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandra1234 from Extreme Comfort Watched the ads on this item and waited until I could afford. So glad I did as these are the most comfortable casual shoes I have ever owned. Thank you Rockport.

Type: Salads
Mushrooms, scallions, and oranges put a twist on a typical salad.
Prep Time: 15M

- 9oz (250g) mushrooms, such as cremini and shiitake, stemmed and sliced
- pinch of crushed hot red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch of scallions, sliced
- 1-2 oranges, depending on size, peeled, cut into segments (reserving the juices for the dressing), pith and seeds discarded
- 2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves
- handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or cut into thin strips (see Cook's Notes)
For the dressing
- 1/3 cup (90ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- pinch of sugar
- 1 tsp whole grain mustard
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- To make the dressing: Combine the olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk until blended. Add a little of the reserved orange juice, along with the sugar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper; whisk again, and taste. Add a little more orange juice if needed. Let the dressing stand for a few minutes, to blend the flavors.
- To make the salad, put the mushrooms in a large bowl. Add the pepper flakes and drizzle in a little of the dressing. Toss to coat lightly. Let stand for 10 minutes, then gently mix in the scallions and orange segments.
- When ready to serve, toss in the spinach and basil leaves, and more of the dressing. Taste and season again, if needed. Serve immediately.
- Basil leaves are best torn, rather than chopped, as they tend to bruise easily. Alternatively, stack several leaves and roll tightly like a cigar; then, with a sharp knife, cut crosswise into thin strips.

TORONTO - City Council members learned of the city auditor's upcoming resignation during its Monday meeting.
Robert Owen, who has served as city auditor for the previous 10 years, said he is resigning on Dec. 31, according to a letter from Owen read during the meeting.
"Thank you for the opportunity for serving the city of Toronto as auditor for the past 10 years. It has been a great learning experience, and I have enjoyed working with all of you," the letter read.
"I look forward to spending my retirement with my family and enjoying life," Owen continued. "Again, it has been a pleasure serving the city of Toronto."
Owen was appointed to the position by previous city Mayor Bob Wilson, and he'd been re-elected to the position several times. Second Ward Councilman Dorothy Blaner said Owen's service is a credit for the city.
"The city will be losing a professional," said Blaner, adding Owen's years of banking experience was a plus for the city. "The city has benefited from his expertise."
In other matters:
Mayor John Geddis told council the Jeddo Road bridge had been closed by the city after a determination it was no longer safe for travel. Geddis also said the bridge recently was struck by a heavy vehicle, seriously damaging the bridge's infrastructure.
"The concrete (bridge deck) is the only thing holding it up," said the mayor, adding it is unknown who struck the bridge. "I haven't heard one person complain it's been closed. It's inconvenient, but it's unsafe."
Geddis said he is going to explore different options for eventual bridge replacement.
Geddis requested council send a letter to state officials stating the city's opposition to the Municipal Tax Uniformity Bill, which would transfer local collection of tax revenues from local collection to state jurisdiction. Geddis said he was opposed to the bill and warned it could affect the city's share of taxes.
Council agreed to send the letter.
"(State government) can't even collect the state taxes, and now they want to collect ours," he said.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 41 attended Monday's meeting to earn civic government merit badges.
There will be a special council meeting at 7 p.m. Monday to consider pending legislation. The next regular council meeting has been changed to 7 p.m. Dec. 27. Both meetings will be in council chambers.

GENESEO, N.Y. - The Princeton Review has named SUNY Geneseo one of the best institutions in the country for undergraduate education in the 2013 edition of its annual guide, "The Best 377 Colleges." Geneseo has been on the list for several years.
About 15 percent of America's approximately 2,500 four-year colleges and three outside the country are profiled in the book, The Princeton Review's flagship college guide. It includes detailed profiles of the colleges with rating scores for all schools in eight categories, plus ranking lists of top-20 schools in the book in 62 categories based on the surveys of students attending the colleges.
"We commend SUNY Geneseo for its outstanding academics, which is the primary criteria for our selection of schools for the book," said Robert Franek, the publication's publisher and author. "Our choices are based on institutional data we collect about schools, our visits to schools over the years, feedback we gather from students attending the schools, and the opinions of our staff and 30-member National College Counselor Advisory Board. We also work to keep a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
The Princeton Review does not rank colleges in the book academically from 1 to 377 in any category. Instead, it reports 62 ranking lists of "top 20" colleges in various categories. The lists are based entirely on the publication's survey of 122,000 students, about 324 per campus on average, attending the colleges in the book.
Geneseo was on a separate Princeton Review/USA Today list of the nation's top 75 "Best Value" public colleges and universities for 2012, published in February.
The Princeton Review is based in Massachusetts and is best known for its test-prep courses,, tutoring and other student resources. It is not affiliated with Princeton University and is not a magazine.

Urban Mission Ministries is welcoming nine new "Healthy U" lay leaders to its team who are ready to offer the community "Healthy U" educational workshops focusing on diabetes and pre-diabetes health care issues.
Two class sessions are on the calendar. One will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. beginning April 18 at MaeBelle's Wigs in Steubenville.
The other will be held at the Urban Mission from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. beginning April 22. Each lay leader completed 32 hours of class time, becoming qualified to facilitate these "much-needed workshops," according to Sharon Kirtdoll, program director.

-- Janice Kiaski
Partnering with the Office of Minority Health in Columbus, Urban Mission is promoting workshops in the area to facilitate the management of diabetes and related health conditions.
The leaders will offer workshops in churches and other venues available to the community. A workshop is held weekly for a six-week period, giving participants an opportunity to practice what they've learned and get feedback.
The workshops are designed by Standford University and have proven effective, according to the spokesperson.
According to the American Diabetes Association, 25.8 million children and adults in the United States - 8.3 percent of the population - have diabetes. Complications from it cripple or kill thousands every year.
"We hope that by offering these workshops that participants will begin to understand the crippling effects of this disease and take a more active role in their own care, thereby reducing the toll that diabetes takes on the community and family," Kirtdoll said.
Churches or groups interested in hosting a workshop can contact the Urban Mission at (740) 282-8010.

I'd like to know on which questions and how much I voted. Is there such a query? It would be nice to share it.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I'm sure i've seen it mentioned specifically somewhere in here, but finding the items you voted on is not possible via the public search, or via the publicly available data dump. The main reason being that Jeff wants some badges to be a surprise (as mentioned in the link from @Filbert), and to prevent finding out who downvoted your question/answer and seeking retribution by downvoting them.
To my knowledge, this query does not exist in the regular interface. There is a dim chance you can use the Stack API though, but I'm not familiar with that. :)
For downvotes, as S.Mark proposed, you can have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/reputation - it says "3" on the left for downvotes. For instance:

You know the problem if you had to repair a broken engine housing using cold metal (epoxy).
This sprocket cover is open to the front. Compared to the 300-0110, this guard will protect your engine casing better.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Melinda Wood wanted to give her four children a taste of the business world.
So she joined the LOCAL Brands FARM Co-op and enlisted help in caring for the family�s pigs and sheep from Naomi, 13; Dakota, 10; Ashland, 8; and Colt, 4.
The process of bringing the meat from their enterprise, �Wood�s Ranch,� to market through the co-op brought many valuable lessons for the children. It showed them how to make a ranching lifestyle more affordable and financially viable, and it funded the children�s extracurricular activities, Wood said.
�There were definitely times the checks came in at the exact right time,� Wood said.
But life has a way of bringing surprises, and time for running the family�s meat-production operation declined as childhood food allergies emerged. The allergies led to hours in the kitchen learning how to cook meals without grains, gluten and dairy ingredients.
But the children weren�t ready to give up working and learning about business together. And their work soon evolved into a baking operation that now has roots in downtown Durango.
The Wood�s Ranch Gluten Free Bakery truck on College Drive opened early this month, serving some of the children�s favorite new recipes.
Help from the co-op in getting the business started and word about their products has made all the difference, Wood said.
�The co-op was a great incubator for us to see if the idea was feasible, and it gave us the courage to develop it into something bigger,� she said.
While she�s proud of her children and the business the family is building, Wood said it�s the customers supporting the co-op and the businesses growing from it who are making the biggest difference.
They�re choosing to buy local in a game where everyone wins, she said.
�When they buy from a local co-op, people know the food came from their neighbors,� Wood said. �They have some idea of how the local operations are run and the pride that went into that work.�

San Diego: The Kings Of 45-Minute Football
Football is a 60-minute game, but the San Diego Chargers usually only bother to show up for 45 minutes. The Chargers have blown four games in which they were ahead after three quarters. Instead of being 8-4 and tied atop the AFC West, San Diego is 4-8 and coach Norv Turner is facing questions about his future.
To put San Diego's fourth-quarter futility in perspective, we recalculated the NFL standings if each game played this season had ended after the first quarter, halftime and the third quarter.
Coincidentally, if games ended at halftime, the Chargers would have nine wins, while the Seattle Seahawks would be an NFC-best 8-3-1. On the other hand, the Atlanta Falcons (11-1), would only have six wins and the Dallas Cowboys (6-6) would be in last place with only three wins.
The 7-5 Cincinnati Bengals clearly come out ready to play in the first quarter, only trailing twice this season after the game's first 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the 9-3 Denver Broncos and their slow-starting quarterback Peyton Manning are probably thrilled that games don't actually end after the first quarter. The AFC West leaders would be 3-7-2.

In the context of group theory (in my case, applications to physics), I frequently come across the phrase "the ${\bf N}$ of a group", for example "a ${\bf 24}$ of $SU(5)$" or "the ${\bf 1}$ of $SU(5)$" (the integer is usually typeset in bold).
My knowledge of group theory is pretty limited. I know the basics, like what properties constitute a group, and I'm familiar with simple cases that occur in physics (e.g. rotation groups $SO(2)$, $SO(3)$, the Lorentz group, $SU(2)$ with the Pauli matrices as a representation), but not much more. I've got a couple of related questions:
- What is meant by "${\bf N}$ of a group"?
- Is is just shorthand for an ${\bf N}$ representation? If so, what exactly is an ${\bf N}$ representation of a given group? :-)
- How can I work out / write down such a representation concretely, like the Pauli matrices for $SU(2)$? I'd be grateful for a simple example.
- What does it mean when something "transforms like the ${\bf N}$"?

Im about to purchase Pole Series 1, but am unsure how the attachment of the NN3 to pole works.
When shooting from the tripod, I use an R-D8 rotator. When I have my NN3 on the R-D8 Rotator, there are two small white nylon pegs in the lower horizontal arm that keep the the NN3 from slipping.
When transferring the NN3 from R-D8 to Pole Series 1, do these pegs have to be removed?
Whats the best option here?

I have some software that, among other things, needs to:
- Assess a file's rwxrwxrwx permissions;
- Work under every possible flavor of Unix and Linux you can find in the wild.
Currently, it does that running the
ls -l command. If the file is a symlink, I have to get the permissions of the target file. The
-L switch works nicely for that.
The question: Are there flavors of Unix in which I run the risk of that switch not being available? If so, which ones? (If they're rare enough and old enough, I might just be able to ignore the problem.)

A Legal and Theoretical Exploration of How to Regulate Unoriginal Database Contents and Possible Suggestions for ReformHerr, Robin Elizabeth (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Controversial from its inception, the European Database Directive protects unoriginal contents in contrast to the United States where there is no statutory protection. Despite this extra incentive, empirical evidence seems to indicate that database production in the European Community remains largely unchanged while that in the United States is increasing, at least in the short term. Dissatisfaction with the Directive has sparked efforts to revise database protection policy, including by the European Commission. In order to determine the best method of regulation, three factors are explored in this Ph.D. thesis: the nature of the database industry, regulatory theories emanating from economic analysis of the law and the evidence offered by the US and EC protection regimes. A major insight that emerges is that the productive potential of secondary producers, what the author terms re-users, is being undervalued in Europe. A greater emphasis on access could harness their economic potential. However, this conclusion comes with a twist based upon the American experience. A reduction in statutory protection could result in a switch to production models that emphasize access. But it could also result in models that reduce access even more than at present. In order to ensure a productive future, rigorous monitoring and regulatory adjustment is in order. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7716

Viken, Monica (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The focus of this thesis is an analysis of the legal aspects and use of surveys in trademark and marketing practice litigation in Norway. I examine the legal relevance of surveys and analyse how they are considered as evidence by the courts and administrative bodies. Human behaviour can be defined within a legal context by interpreting legal sources and also by developing a survey based on the market place. In this thesis, I compare the use of survey findings as evidence of human perceptions in the context of the average consumer who represents the opinion of the relevant group. If the factual public opinion of the respective group of addressees is taken into consideration, the rules are interpreted with a basis in the market place (reality), and not within a formal legal framework (abstraction)...

NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Ben Roethlisberger suffered sprained shoulder, questionable vs. Ravens by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Tue Nov. 13, 2012 Ben Roethlisberger has played just one full season in his NFL career. (Charles LeClaire-US PRESSWIRE)Ben Roethlisberger continues to undergo tests and evaluation on his right shoulder, after he injured it during Monday night's 16-13 win over the Chiefs. Roethlisberger took a hard hit from Kansas City's Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, then left the game with his throwing arm held limp against his body.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin revealed Tuesday that Roethlisberger has a sternoclavicular (SC) sprain in his shoulder -- the SC joint connects the collarbone to the sternum. But Tomlin could not provide any timetable for when his QB might be able to suit up again."Obviously, his injury puts his participation in the questionable category," Tomlin said of Roethlisberger's status for a game Week 11 game against Baltimore. "I'll have more information as this week unfolds."SI.com injury expert Will Carroll said that an SC sprain is a "very unusual injury" and somewhat similar to the broken clavicle Danny Amendola suffered earlier this season. "It should heal faster than an injury in the shoulder itself," Carroll added. "I'm not sure how it will affect his throwing motion. The worry would be another hit."Roethlisberger has shown the knack for playing through injuries during his career, including in 2011, when he quickly returned after suffering what appeared at the time to be a serious ankle injury in Week 14 against Cleveland. Roethlisberger struggled in the next game against San Francisco, though, then sat out a Week 16 win over St. Louis.Pittsburgh did not have the services of Byron Leftwich available at that time -- he suffered a season-ending injury last preseason. Charlie Batch took over the QB role in Roethlisberger's absence.This time around, it was Leftwich who got the nod. He stepped in Monday to help the Steelers hold off Kansas City for a victory, and he would start (with Batch active as his backup) against Baltimore in Week 11 and likely beyond, should Roethlisberger miss more time.The reports surrounding Roethlisberger's injury have varied since Monday night, in part because it sounds as if even Roethlisberger's doctors remain unsure of the severity of the injury. A sprained SC joint is the same injury that Brett Favre tried to play through in 2010, only to see his consecutive games streak end because of it.If the playoffs began this weekend, the Steelers would hold the No. 6 seed in the AFC. They have a two-game cushion over San Diego, Miami and Cincinnati in the race for that final playoff spot, so sitting Roethlisberger, even as a precaution, might be in the cards.Of course, the AFC North lead will be up for grabs Sunday night when the Ravens visit -- the first of two meetings between the two rivals in the next three weeks. As SI's Peter King pointed out, since drafting Roethlisberger in 2004, the Steelers are 0-4 against the Ravens in games that Big Ben does not play. Whether or not Roethlisberger plays in either of those games is still very much up in the air. More Audibles

Since its release in 1994, I've returned to this book every so often to see if the writings contained within it have become more accessible in the intervening years. Sorry to say that they haven't -- much of her 70s output is still very difficult even for someone like me who is familar with her recorded output. I think many of these pieces only work in performance -- hearing Smith perform them in that ultra-distinctive South Jersey drawl of hers is a more rewarding experience than trying to read them on the printed page.

Agreed. Theyre meant to be set to music or spoken aloud there are no echoes when you read them to yourself.

I'll have to try "Housekeeping" someday. I loved "Gilead" at first, with its ever so wise and humble and affable first person protagonist, but after awhile as he just went on being So wise and So humble and So . . . I put it down for awhile and had to force myself to finish. I admire her creation of the character more than I enjoyed much of the book, and a friend felt the same way.
I'm revisiting Marilynne Robinson's "Housekeeping" currently, and dipping into a book on heraldry.
I did enjoy the several essays I've read from her collection, "The Death of Adam."
As for my father's novel, it begins on Saturday, April 8, 1775 and ends on Tuesday, June 6, 1775.

I actually had a great deal of identification, and could remember individual friends at the time who seemed to be well "caught" here. However, she does not handle male characters at all as well as female, something not often noted in reviews of this kind of literature.
So, I've taken a break to read three short novels about ... Napoleon. (Maybe the word "Emperor" in Messud's title gave me a subliminal idea.) They're translations of Patrick Rambaud's trilogy: The Battle (about the Aspern-Essling battle outisde Vienna in 1809), The Retreat (about the invasion of Russia in 1812), and Napoleon's Exile (on Elba, not the one on St. Helena).
Rambaud, who has won a Prix Goncourt, combines historical characters (very accurately, it seems to me) and fictional participants. There are wonderful insights into Napoleon's character and personallity -- and into the process by which his associates, although becoming more and more appalled by how out of touch with reality he was becoming, and how unwilling he was to adjust his preconceptions to new realities, remained fatally in thrall to him nonetheless.
Rambaud led me back to Alan Schom's biography of Napoleon, certainly the most overtly hostile of the really serious scholarly books about this topic. Schom, who considers Napoleon to have been the most destructive European political figure since Attilla, relies rather undiscriminately on some hostile and possibly inaccurate memoires of those who knew Napoleon, but makes a pretty convincing case.
Napoleon in power showed a truly imperial disregard for human life -- an inability to be self-critical -- a contempt for and unwillingness to consider any reality that countered his prior judgments -- and a tendency towards maudlin self-pity when faced with criticism or hostility. These qualties make him seem a rather "modern" national leader indeed.

I read relatively few new books, myself. I tend to come to them a year or two later, at least, and I don't rush out and buy something because it's selling well and getting great reviews -- I'll likely check out a library copy, unless I'm in a bookstore and make an impulse purchase, which happens regularly.

What do T2, T3, T4, and T5 stand for? Does it mean the number of rooms?
Sign up

The number counts the rooms where one can live: bedrooms and the (aptly named) living room; 'T' stands for 'type'. You can also find 'F' instead of 'T', there is no difference.
Rooms "for living" must fill some criteria to qualify as such: minimum area (I believe 9m²), a minimum height and a at least one window. If the room has no window (dark or open), or is too small, it doesn't count, and can only be advertised as a storage space (often called "cellier" or "loggia"). Also mandatory are a separate bathroom, and kitchen and toilets, both of which may or may not be separate from, respectively, a regular room and the bathroom.
You might in very rare cases also get a large "dark room" ("pièce aveugle"), without window, suitable to be used as a study/computer room, but which can only be advertised as a storage space. So a T1 might give you 4 rooms in total (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, "storage space"). (I actually had a 60m² T2 with a similar arrangement--very comfy.)
Also, some "wide" living rooms (>20m²) will be advertised as two rooms. So a T3 might only get you 3 rooms (large living room with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom).
Note that a 'T1' and a 'studio' are not the same thing:
Yes it does.
To be more specific, this is the number of rooms in which you can live: the kitchen, the bathroom, the toilets are not included in that number, but only the rooms and the living and dining room(s). A "dressing" doesn't count either unless it meets the requirement of a "main room", according to this article.
This number should also include at least one room. For example you cannot have just a living room and a bathroom as a room is mandatory.

Connecticut is in a lot of trouble
According to recent U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data, in 2012, Connecticut's total personal income grew an anemic 2 percent. Only South Dakota fared worse. Unsettling as that is, it is not surprising, given that '12 brought little good economic news for Connecticut.
Matthew von Kerczek, a BEA economist, told Hartford Business Journal reporter Brad Kane that "Finance makes up a very, very large share of aggregate earnings in Connecticut." Unfortunately, as Mr. Kane pointed out, the finance and insurance industries continue to feel the Great Recession's effects. Mr. Kane's story indicated personal income growth in most other Connecticut industries, including manufacturing, health care, construction, retail and professional services, also was below the national average.

The "Whole Christ"
Saint Augustine, building upon such Pauline insights as "you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it ... If one member suffers, all suffer together, if one member is honored, all rejoice together" (1Cor 12:27,26), articulated his key insight into the "totus Christus," the whole Christ.
Strikingly, Augustine applied this insight to the Church's praying the psalms. They are the prayer of the whole Christ: Head and members, though prayed diversely by each according to the content of the psalm, whether penitential, petitionary, or praising.
When praying the liturgy of the hours, I try to be mindful of the fact that I am praying in union with the whole body of believers, united with Christ our Head. I try to do so, not only at the time of the specific petitions, but throughout the praying of the psalm. When praying alone, I modify the invocation: "O God, come to our assistance; o Lord, make haste to help us!"
Friday Lauds always begin with the great penitential psalm 51, in which we cry: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me."
The whole Christ prays today for and with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I was happy to see that he received a Catholic funeral
slide show: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2014/02/07/nyregion/07hoffman-funeral-1...
Sorry, bad link. Try this:
I was struck by the faces of many people at the funeral -- so many of them seemed caught in deep. even existential grief. Meryl Streep in particular seemed devastated. What a remarkable man. May he rest in peace, and peace to his family and friends.
If you have not prayed the Liturgy of the Hours, this site provides all that you need. For the nourishment that we all need throughout the day. http://www.universalis.com/index.htm
When I pray Vespers with my students, they use their i-phones, while I pull out my battered breviary. So I'm grateful for the "universalis" link.
Two quick observations on a first-time exploration:
1. the intercessions and concluding prayer seem better than the ones in the American breviary. Are they from the edition of the breviary used in England?
2. it's a pleasure to have the Latin hymns for the different hours available as well.
May he rest in peace, and peace to his family and friends.
Ann, yes. I was happy to see this photo of Fr. jim Martin standing with Mimi O'Donell and her (and Hoffman's) three children as the coffin left the church.
the photo is about half-way through the article.
Seemed to me that it was a good example of "accompanying people on their way," as we've been discussing in the other thread, in connection with the quote from Pope Francis. i believe I've read in another article that Fr. Martin went to visit them at their apartment after Hoffman was found in his apartment.
Sorry, here's the right link
Here is another site for the Divine Office. Universalis is British, I am told, and follows the British scheme, which has some differences from American practice. Personally, I also find it easier to use:
Now that I'm here: Can anyone suggest a good book on using the psalms? Not a translation; I have three of those. And not the kind of explanation of odd points I can find in the footnotes of the NAB. What I am looking for, I guess, is a book by someone with long experience with the psalms who can talk about what he puts into praying them and what he gets out. It would be sort of a book-length version of Fr. Inbelli's post here.
Apparently the liturgical publication which distributes the Breviary and other texts has a patent on the translations. So Univrsalis did its own translation. Which , though it is good, makes for some startling comparisons with the Latin.
The history of the translation into English of the post-Vatican II breviary is rather complex. I won't rehearse it here, except to say that there are two official versions -- The Divine Office (prepared in the early 1970s by the Bishops' Conferences of England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia) and The Liturgy of the Hours (prepared, also in the 1970s, by The International Commission on English in the Liturgy [ICEL]). The ICEL text is used principally in the US, Canada, and The Philippines. It is now being revised, though I think I am correct in saying that the non-bibllical readings, close to 600 in all, from The Office of Readings will be kept as is. (That would be an enormous task. I was there the first time round.) In the current revision of the ICEL LH, the hymns are being translated from the Latin. Whether the Latin originals will also be provided as in the Italian Liturgia delle Ore, I don't know.
The link that Tom Blackburn provides, Divine Office.org, is actually the text as it appears in The Liturgy of the Hours, not The Divine Office. (How's that for further confusion!) Looking at Morning Prayer, I spotted only one difference. Divine Office. org gives a different hymn than the one found in LH. But surely the hymn for Morning Prayer on the Divine Office.org site is for Evening Prayer not Morning Prayer.
I was not familiar with the Divine Office.org site, and know nothing about Universalis. Whatever version, it is heartening to know that the Church's daily prayer is being prayed individually and in common. I have known both the pre-reform Latin version (five ribbons, three holy cards, and a finger or two) as well as the post-conciliar revision. I couldn't live without it.
many thanks for the information. Do you know if there is an announced publication date for the revised ICEL LH?
As I mention above, an attraction of the Universalis site is that at the bottom of the particular hour there is a link to a page that features both Latin and English versions – though the English hymn provided is not a translation of the Latin..
I also see that the version used on the Universalis site incorporates the practice I have adopted of beginning with the invocation in the plural: "make haste to help us!"
Father Imbelli:
The work on the revision of the ICEL LH is definitely under way. I haven't seen a target date for publication, but, knowing the various steps and stages, I would say that at least three years would be realistic.
John, Thanks. I am now a whole lot smarter than I was.
For you Greek language lovers. The gospel is in Greek today as well as english on the Universalis site.
I wish the Church would produce a Liturgy of the Hours that is more relevant to life in the 21st century, one with a form that doesn't require, as has been said, five ribbon place-holders and three holy cards in the hand. The other big deficiency is hat the content doesn't reflect many different, specific concerns. For instance, there's too much about dealing with "enemies". Most people don't really have enemies, we just have opponents of one sort and another and of more or less grave statuare. I suspect the current emphasis on dealing with enemies is due to the emphasis on the Psalms -- David did pray a lot about enemies because he had many. The rest of us don't. Prayers about the various kinds of virtues and sins would be helpful replacements. Even just a bigger variety of the Psalms would be helpful.
And the English of the Hymns is abominable. Those jingly-jangly verses might have been just the thing for the 17th century, but they're not for us. The word order in them is so excruciatingly forced that they're a distraction. I just skip them. So good poetry would be much, much more valuable.
It would be a huge undertaking, but you gotta start sometime.
others may be able to share some reflections from their own prayer experience, but regarding the presence of "enemies" in the Psalms, I find two ways of attending to them helpful for me personally:
1. praying the liturgy "in the whole Christ" helps me remember those members of the body who are attacked for their faith, for whom "enemies" are a concrete and pressing reality;
2. like Paul, I can consider the various "thorns" in the flesh that impede full surrender to God, those aspects and habits of character that are obstacles to union with the God of love and service of others.
Apparently, you have two choices from Universalis: 1) read it free online using your browser, or 2) pay for their app for your iPhone (or whatever), which allows you to chose either their translation or the Grail version of the psalms
Translations: The readings are from the Jerusalem Bible. For the psalms, you have a choice of our own translation (as seen on the Web) and the Grail version, which is used in most of the English-speaking world.
They don't mention whether "most of the English-speaking world" includes the USA.
The app also has the advantage that onceyou have installed it, you no longer need an internet connection to use the LOH, so you could use it in an airplane or other places where no internet connection is avAilable.
Fr. Imbelli --
Yes, those applications of the "enemies" texts are quite useful, but there are other kinds of prayers that are equally or more important. Plus, so much emphasis on God's vanquishing enemies is likely to reinforce some people's anger at their enemies (some do have enemies), even if their anger is just anger.. We need less about revenge and annihilation and more about making peace and about overcoming our own anger which isn't jusstified.
Ann - regarding enemies: I agree it can be spiritually challenging. The prayers for protection from enemies are the sorts of prayers that are made by poor, weak people surrounded by hostile, malicious, powerful foes. We Americans aren't accustomed to thinking of ourselves this way. But I've seen the suggestion that we do have such powerful enemies - cancer, natural disasters, corrosive and exploitative business practices, the sex trades - ravaging dragons that we've not been able to vanquish on our own. I suspect that Francis would put the devil at the top of that list.
Ann, I was going to make a quip about how maybe you don't have enemies... but then others said such edifying things, I won't go there. ;)
Tom Blackburn, do you have access to a seminary library where you might get some theological books or periodicals? I was just reading a beautiful "introduction to the psalms" by Andre Chouraqui. It first appeared in 1979 and was reprinted in 1995 in the periodical Liturgy O.C.S.O (Volume 29, Number 1). Chouraqui was an Algerian-born, French-educated, scholar and writer whose translation into French of the psalms in 1956 was widely acclaimed.
Tom, you also should know that some of Bob's comments echo sentiments voiced by Pius Parsch in Der Wochenpsalter des Romischen Breviers which were reprinted as an introduction to The Hours of the Divine Office in English and Latin. I can't recommend this essay by Parsch highly enough. Sixteen pages. If you can get a hold of it, you will find it rewarding I think. The set of books I am talking about came out in 1963, from Liturgical Press, and are hard to find today, because they almost immediately became obsolete. But that introduction is pure gold. If someone has translated the original book from which they were taken, that would be worth looking at too. Yes, it's the pre-reformed texts that are in view, but a lot of the insights still apply, I think, and you can make the adaptations in your mind as you go along.
thank you for these references. Would it be too much to ask if you could share an insight or two from these readings that you find particularly rich? I'm sure we would profit from them.
Jim P. ==
Yes, the enemies texts can be used as a metaphor for all those things. But the image of a powerful king fighting to maintain his power over powerful external enemies reeks with the theme of power. One has to fight the image to make it relevant to one's own situation.
I love the Psalms, but there's more to the Bible than that. You'd think that images of Jesus' own life would be the central visualizations in the Book of Hours, but they're not. That amazes and disappoins me.
Further, individuals vary greatly. Surely the Church could find more varied poetry to help a greater variety of people. There could be poetry bringing wisdom from believers all over the world, which I think would be a very unifying practice.
But I wouldn't leave it up to a committee of Curia bureaucrats to do the job. This is a job for the best of liturgists, theologians, psychologists, the saints who have left us prayers, and, most of all, poets.
Reform, reform, reform :-)
Oops, I left out the playwrights! They are too are experts in articulating deep concerns. So on with Shakespeare, and maybe even Ibsen too. Why not? Just think of some of the poetry of George Herbert, John Donne and, closer to us, Eliot, not to mention Dante.
Rita, Bless you and thank you. I don't have access to the seminary library (I've been told I do, but I wouldn't push it), but I have access to people who do. So I'll get after the Chouraqui. The Parsch, too, if the seminary isn't too young. (In the back of my head there is a copy of some book by Parsch -- Pius Parsch is a name you don't forget) in the Cardijn Center in Milwaukee back many years ago. It looked daunting, and it was in English. In German even the title is a doorstop.)
And let me second Fr. Imbelli's encouragement for you to provide more insight.
Tom and all - you might also check out "Israel's Praise: Doxology against Idolatry and Ideology" by Walter Brueggemann. Among its virtues, it takes very seriously Ann's concerns about enemies and power.
For a shorter read, the introduction to the commentary on the Psalms in the New Jerome Biblical Commentary is something I've found helpful. Naturally, now that I want to refer to it, I can't lay my hands on the book (it's around here somewhere). That chapter might be by Bruce Vawter, but don't quote me on it.
Thank you, too, Jim. ( I almost had the NJBC once, but when I had the money, they raised the price.)
Thanks, Bob and Tom, for the invitation to share some of the insights which have been rich for me. Perhaps a few quotations would not be amiss either, for both of these works are beautifully written.
First, a little background on Parsch for those who don't know about him. Pius Parsch was an Augustinian canon at Klausterneuberg Abbey in Austria. He was an important figure in the Liturgical Movement of the first half of the twentieth century. His work is remembered for its pastoral sense, not only its scholarship. (Tom, I am guessing that the book(s) you saw were The Church's Year of Grace which is probably the best known of his works in English.)
I already mentioned that the main idea of Bob's post was reminiscent of Parsch's exposition of the Hours. Here is an excerpt:
The breviary is above all the prayer of the Church, the prayer said in the name of the Church. It is helpful to understand the difference between private prayer and liturgical prayer. In private prayer I pray, mostly, for myself and my own affairs. It is the isolated person who stands in the center of the action, and the prayer is more or less individualized. But in liturgical prayer, and therefore in the breviary, it is not primarily I who am praying, but the Church... In liturgical prayer, I feel more like a member of a great community, like a little leaf on the great living tree of the Church. I share her life and her problems. The Church is praying through my mouth, I offer her my tongue to pray with her for all the great objectives of redemption, and for God's honor and glory.
We weep, too, or rather the Church weeps through our tears, together with those who weep, rejoices through our joys together with those who rejoice, does penance with the repentant. All the sentiments of Holy Mother Church find their echo in our heart. This gives a deeper content to our prayer; we spread out far beyond our own selves.
Incidentally, this second paragraph so closely compares to the first article of Gaudium et spes that I wonder if the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World might not be animated more by a liturgical spirituality than is normally credited. But that's another subject. :)
Parsch gives a sensitive description of each of the Hours, and a general rationale for the psalms and canticles that are assigned to them. Because the sheer quantity of words in the Hours can be overwhelming in detail, I find this general architecture helpful. Here is an example in his description of Lauds.
Lauds is a jubilant hour, fresh as the morning dew, perhaps the most beautiful of all the Hours. Its symbolism deserves attention. It is night; nature and men are asleep. In the far east, the grey of dawn appears; then the ruddy hue of morning, the harbinger of a new day, spreads across the horizon, and the world of nature begins to stir. But all this natural beauty is only a symbol and reminder of a most wonderful event in the story of salvation. It was at this beautiful hour that the Savior burst the bonds of death. Resurrection -- that is the background theme of Lauds. And the two pictures together, dawn and resurrection, remind us of a third arising from slumber, the spiritual awakening of the human soul.
In another section, he describes the wonder and honest difficulties of praying the psalms ("The psalms are what make the breviary so beautiful and at the same time so difficult), especially the harsh passages. In an attempt to navigate some of these difficulties he discusses the psalms as "prayer figures," which I found helpful.
The key to understanding any figure comes from having grasped the point of comparison employed; that point must be isolated and concretely formulated. When we have found it we will know at once what is to be carried over into our application of the prayer and what is only incidently development of the figure used. Just as in a parable not every feature of the story or detail is capable of application to the point made by the narrative, even so, not every verse or statement in a psalm can be applied to its basic message. The psalms, after all, are poetry.
With regard to "curse psalms" he had this to say:
... [A]s Christians we may never wish evil upon a sinner directly, personally.
The psalms however have nothing to do with personal enmities. The theme of all our praying is God's kingdom and sin, and the curse passages in the psalms are only the primitive expression of absolute protest against evil, sin and hell. Try changing the optative of the curses to the indicative of fact; this turns the curses into an expression of divine justice...
Well, this is enough for one comment. Later, perhaps I can come back with something to share from Andre Chouraqui.
Thanks, Rita, and i do hope you will come back with more.
Regarding Parsch's lovely evocation of Lauds, I enjoy praying the Latin hymns (difficult as some are) because of their attunement to the hours of the day. I hope, as John Page indicates, that they will be translated (well!) in the new edition of the breviary.
Rita, Keep going. You may end up with a book. I'll buy it.
I'm going to have to work on what Parsch calls "the point of comparison." For some psalms, like 51, that seems pretty clear. But when they do the big tone shifts (as, e.g., at 89:20) I fall right off the sled.
Again, thanks.
There are many elements that enhance the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours. In so far as it is possible, I think that a personally important image, even if it is a simple holy card, is of great help.
I am blessed to pray often before a large reproduction of the San Clemente mosaic of the Cross of Christ as the Tree of Life.
Gazing on it, the words of one of this evening's psalms take on new meaning and challenge:

Matcha OmeletThe color and aroma of Matcha makes a beautiful sauce to accompany any omelet and makes a wonderful pairing of green and yellow. Our Matcha Omelet is a wonderfully healthy and fresh way to start your day!
[Serves 2]
Tencha Tea.................................... 2 tsp
Potato............................................. 1 potato
Sausage.......................................... 3 sausages
Processed Cheese......................... 1.5 oz
Eggs............................................... 4 eggs
Milk................................................. 2 tbsp Salt.................................................. to taste
Pepper............................................. to taste
Butter............................................... for cooking
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha......... 1 tsp
Milk................................................... 1 tbsp
Mayonnaise...................................... 4 tbsp
Plain Yogurt....................................... 4 tbsp
Cherry Tomatoes ......................... 8 tomatoes
Herbs ....................................... as desired
Note: When it is time to whisk the Matcha and Milk, if you do not have a matcha whisk you can use a small kitchen whisk in its place.
Tip: For the most evenly cooked omelet, allow the pan to heat by itself for 2 minutes of so and come up to temperature before adding your eggs to the pan. Then add the butter and spread it evenly with a plastic cooking brush. This also helps prevent sticking.
Tip: Due to residual heat, eggs continue to cook even when taken off the heat. If the eggs look completely done in the pan, they are going to be overcooked by the time they make it to the table.
- Cut the potatoes into 1/3 inch cubes and briefly microwave until soft. Cut the sausages into 1/3 inch cubes as well and heat in pan on the stove until warmed through. Cut the cheese to the same size.
- Beat the 4 eggs together with 2 tablespoons of milk and the tencha tea. Add salt and pepper to taste and then mix in the potatoes, sausages, and cheese.
- Heat a frying pan on the stove on medium-high heat (approx 2 mins). Once it is up to temperature, add your butter and spread it around allowing it to bubble slightly.
- Pour the eggs directly into the center of the pan and stir them around with a plastic spatula until they begin to take shape (approx 5-10 seconds). Run your spatula around the sides of the pan to help form the outer edges of the omelet. Allow the omelet to cook by itself undisturbed for 10-15 seconds.
- Tilt the pan around to make sure any excess egg that may have pooled up is distributed and can cook evenly.
- Tilt the pan to a 45 degree angle and fold your omelet 2 times before putting it on the plate.
- Mix the 1 teaspoon of Matcha into 2 tablespoons of milk with a whisk until it is evenly dissolved and smooth.
- Mix the dissolved Matcha together with the mayonnaise and yogurt, completing your sauce. Pour over the finished omelet, adding tomatoes and herbs to the plate as desired.

During the City Commission meeting held Monday July 1, the commissioners approved an amendment to the 2000 Dodge City zoning ordinance to add wind energy conversion systems as a conditional use in all zoning districts.
According to information from Jane Longmeyer, director of public information for the city, the Dodge City Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 16 and recommended permitting wind energy conversion systems on residential and commercial property.
Longmeyer went on to say that the ordinance provides the ability to regulate and govern the installation and operation of wind energy conversion systems within the city.
"Wind turbine towers will be permitted on residential and commercial property," Nannette Pogue, city clerk, said. "There will be regulations of course, how much land is needed to construct them, how far away the must be from buildings so they don't fall on them and so on."
Pogue said that there has been a lot of interest about people and businesses constructing individual turbines to harness wind power instead of using standard electricity.
In other business the commission:
• Approved an ordinance amending the official zoning map of Dodge City. Property located at 1209 E. Trail was changed from I-2 Heavy Industrial to I-1, light industrial.
• Heard an update from the YMCA about the progress they've made during the first six months of operation.
• Approved an airport hanger lease with Crotts Aircraft.
• Approved a contract with JAG Construction in the amount of $72,757 for concrete street reconstruction of Spruce Street from Westlawn Drive to Gardner Avenue.
The next City Commission meeting will be held July 15 at 7 p.m.
