Mark P. Shea is a popular Catholic writer and speaker. The author of numerous books, his most recent work is The Work of Mercy (Servant) and The Heart of Catholic Prayer (Our Sunday Visitor). Mark contributes numerous articles to many magazines, including his popular column "Connecting the Dots" for the National Catholic Register. Mark is known nationally for his one minute "Words of Encouragement" on Catholic radio. He also maintains the Catholic and Enjoying It blog. He lives in Washington state with his wife, Janet, and their four sons.
One danger of private revelations--even authentic ones--is that they can, like all God's good gifts, become distorted. For some Catholics, devotion to private revelations--and particularly Marian ones--can take unhealthy forms. One of the surprises awaiting an Evangelical coming into the Church is that the danger has never been that of Catholics mistaking Mary for another God. Rather, it's the danger that some Catholics mistake her for another pope. A certain sort of Catholic can get the notion in his head that the Church is governed, not by the bishops in succession from the apostles and in union with the Pope, but by a series of private revelations from Mary. Such Catholics are often not particularly cautious about distinguishing between public and private revelation, still less about whether a given Marian apparition has been approved by the Church. Indeed, the creepier and more apocalyptic the "revelation," the more such a Catholic will be certain that its rejection by the Church is a sign of widespread apostasy and imminent doom. So if an alleged seer claims that the pope must define this or that teaching as dogma, or tells Catholics to save up beeswax candles to prepare themselves for the Three Days of Darkness that are just around the corner, the apparition enthusiast may regard it as a judgment on the pope—not on the reality of the "vision"—if the pope doesn't salute smartly and do whatever the latest visionary is demanding.
This is, however, to fundamentally ignore what the Church has always taught with the authority of Christ. A Marian private revelation is no more binding on the pope than it is binding on any other Catholic. The governance of the Church remains the task of the Church's Christ-appointed governors, the bishops. Mary does not supersede them in their proper role—and authentic Marian apparitions never try to do so. If the Magisterium judges a Marian revelation to be "worthy of belief," the Holy Father or the bishops may well act in accordance with it (as, for instance, when Our Lady of Guadalupe requested the building of a church and Our Lady of Fatima requested the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart). But in such cases, the Magisterium is still left to rule the Church according to Scripture and sacred Tradition. It's not obliged to practice "government by apparition," and apparition enthusiasts greatly overstep the limits of the faith when they declare a pope or bishop "apostate" because he's failed to mirror their own level of enthusiasm.
This basic counsel to trust the Holy Spirit through the Church comes hard for many people. And it manifests itself in different ways. Some people believe in every apparition claim that comes down the pike and run way ahead of the Church in their search for the Latest Thing. The spectrum can be wide in such matters. Some people are the type who immediately rush off to pray the Rosary and light candles to water stains on a highway underpass in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Others are not so credulous, but are still given to declaring that a popular apparition claim has been "approved by the Church" when the jury is still out.
That doesn't mean you can't have an opinion about an apparition claim that's still under investigation by the Church. Well before the Church rendered an official judgment, seventy thousand eyewitnesses to the Miracle of the Sun formed sudden and extremely definite opinions about the validity of the claims of the children at Fatima on October 13, 1917. But it does mean that our opinions must remain subordinate to the judgment of Holy Church, which has been entrusted by Christ with the task of discerning such matters. So, for instance, many people have strong views, both pro and con, about some alleged apparition. The sensible thing to do about such disputed claims is wait until the Church decides. Otherwise, we can find that our passions become so engaged in defending our pet views that, should the Church rule against us, we end up placing our personal view of private revelation over the Church's rightful authority and condemning the Church for its "erroneous" approval or disapproval.
On the opposite end of the spectrum from the "signs and wonders" enthusiasts are some Christians whose paranoia about satanic trickery is so overwhelming that they spend all their time studying the darkness and never looking at the light. They spend so much time fretting about what various occultists, quacks, charlatans, false prophets, fake gurus, and bogus seers are saying or doing that they never pay attention to what the Church is saying. They chart vast webs of shadowy conspiracy like characters on the X-Files and, in the process, completely forget to read Scripture, attend to the teaching of the Church, or practice the faith. Indeed, they become so filled with fear that they abandon trust in anybody but themselves and their labyrinthine conspiracy theories. In their impossible effort to save themselves from the devil they end up playing right into his hands, rejecting the judgment of the Magisterium ("I read somewhere that the Vatican has been infiltrated by the Freemasonic Rosicrucian Brotherhood of Luciferian Templars!"), and even leaving the Body of Christ. That is a quick ticket to becoming not only apostate, but quite mad.
In contrast to these foolish and fearful approaches is the basic method of the Church, which takes a page from the Treasury Department. The problem facing treasury agents is the same problem facing the Christian: there are a lot of counterfeits out there. But the Treasury Department doesn't train its agents to know what thousands of different counterfeits look like. It trains them to know what a real bill looks like. When you know that, a phony is immediately obvious, no matter what it looks like. In the same way, Jesus teaches his sheep to recognize not the voice of every conceivable false prophet, but his voice. That way, "the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers" (John 10:4–5).
The surest way to "abide in Christ" and remain close to the heart of the Father who leads us not into temptation but delivers us from evil is to know and live the Catholic faith. As Jesus promises, "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock" (Matt. 7:24–25).
"What do you think?"

Thanks for the nice comment. Keep up the good work and the Holy Spirit will provide the increase!
Craig ~ I love your comment. As a devout wannabe I see the honesty in your comment. We are weird and we are very enthusiastic about all of this stuff! We have found what truly pleases our Loving Lord and are happy to share and be diligent in those ways!
But additionally, we are concerned about all of the souls that our Loving Lord created. And we know that if it wasn't for the grace of God their we would still be on the other side of this knowledge. I was lifted out of the dark pit before being brought to the Way, Truth and Life!
We are driven by compassion for souls and this enthusiasm to run back into town after encountering Christ at the well!
Join the weirdness if you haven't pay no attention to the waves. Just keep your eyes on the Lord, Jesus Christ!
I do not know who the "you" in your comment is referring to. I have never heard of the sedevacanists. So have never thought anything about it. However, it sounds like another means to get people on a tangent away from what is central truth. This reminds me of another book by C.S. Lewis: _The Great Divorce_ which is fiction about a chance for some in Hell to visit Heaven. Those who make the trip each have a reason why they did not like it and did not want to stay. One that I remember had always enjoyed debating about various questions. In Heaven there were no questions left. He could not enjoy living without questions to debate.
Love that description of the "Freemasonic Rosicrucian Brotherhood of Luciferian Templars".
One development of the last half-century that perplexes me is the emergence of some people called "sedevacanists?" who hold that popes elected since the death of Pius XII (Or maybe John XXIII) were not valid popes. This is equivalent to holding that the Holy Spirit guided the Church all the way from Pentecost up to 1958 (or maybe 1964), then disappeared.
I consider their position incredible - beyond worthy of consideration for belief. How can they believe that?
What do you think?
Back to Mark Shea's discussion of private revelation which has led some Catholics into extremes of one variety or another. His article reminded me of C.S. Lewis's book _The Screwtape Letters_ which is fiction about how the devil and his helpers attempt to lead individuals away from the truth. If that fails, then the effort is to lead them into error after they find the truth. False revelations are only one of many means to that end. We need to be examining ourselves and seeking sound teaching to correct our own walk. We need to encourage sound teaching and writing so that others can do the same. This is spiritual warfare and we must use spiritual weapons to successfully engage in it. Myself, I went on some strange tangents as I sought the truth after I became a Christian. Continuing to seek for the truth eventually led me to the Roman Catholic Church.
@Tom in AZ—Let's keep the distinction clear between our neighbors, whom we are commanded to love, and their errors, which we must hate for the sakes of our neighbors. Moving on, you say that Freemasons "are indistinguishable in ideas from Mormons or the mainstream of Jewish theology." That would imply that Mormon and Jewish theology are also indistinguishable from each other, which would probably come as quite a shock to both groups. Let me cut to the chase here: Freemasonry teaches religious indifference as a path to pantheism, Mormonism teaches a very odd form of polytheism, and Judaism teaches a non-trinitarian monotheism. Theologically, these are all quite distinct, in spite of numerous overlaps and historical relationships. The higher degrees of Freemasonry also oaths, invoking God, to invite murder. Most American Freemasons surely do not make this oath in earnest; that is better than being serious about the oath, but it does require being too casual about oaths invoking God. As has been written before, a Freemason cannot be a Catholic in good standing for the same reason a Buddhist cannot be a Catholic in good standing: they are different religions. So Freemasonry is a real and persistent SPIRITUAL problem. They are not, however, much of a SPIRITUAL problem, any more than the Ku Klux Klan (which they created) is. However, modernism gave rise to Freemasonry, and modernism remains both a spiritual and a political problem.
@Howard: The "Mormon firefighter" example is, in fact, my point. Since we do not pretend that Mormons or Jews are intrinsically our enemies, we probably shouldn't pretend it of Freemasons, who are indistinguishable in ideas from Mormons or the mainstream of Jewish theology. Actually of the three, modern Freemasons are probably the least likely to be anti-Catholic, at least outside of Latin America.
Certainly someone who does not know anything about Hermeticism should not "embrace" the ideas of Freemasonry; they probably shouldn't have anything to do with rabbis, either. There are the fingerprints of Kabbalah's analysis on pretty much every "Bible code" crank ever to come down the pike. Currently, those "Bible codes" are a bigger threat to Christianity—in the form of the rightly-deserved ridicule they attract, while being associated with the name of Christ—than Freemasonry has been for about half a century, EVEN in Latin America.
My point is that there is nothing special about Freemasonry; nothing about them that doesn't go just as strongly against Mormons, Jews, and numberless other people who have simply fallen for the Western world's oldest brand of snake-oil (Hermeticism dates to the time of Alexander the Great; it's re-issued, wrapped in the current buzzwords, once every century or three). The current (post-Mormon) crop are all much, much worse than Freemasons—the 20th century brand of Hermeticism was Scientology, and the 21st is Trans-Humanism. They both make Freemasons look like Quakers.
@Gabriel—Heaven knows I've had my differences with Mark Shea, but he did not give a "belated" "nod to orthodoxy", as you say.
@Tom in AZ: "Do we or do we not consider Mormons potential allies?" That question is completely without meaning absent any context. Do I think that Mormons are "natural allies" of the Catholic Church? Of course not. Mormons are not even heretics, because only Christians can be heretics. Do some bishops think otherwise? Obviously. If my house were on fire, would I object to a Mormon firefighter putting out the flames? Obviously not. But your argument holds no water. A member of the SS (up to the point that organization ceased to exist), who had used slave labor to build the V-2, was directly responsible for the American space program. Does that mean that I have to embrace the ideology of the SS as perfectly safe and no threat at all? God forbid!
Dear Mark, I think, if you reflect calmly on it, you might apply your words about me to yourself in your description of me as being involved in an "inquisitional attempt to read my mind, heart, and soul." As far as I can see, my comments served to bring up important aspects of Catholic thought that you tend to consistently ignore for whatever reason. This is why one could wonder why rather than discussing the things I brought up more deeply, you choose to comment on me. I would encourage you to reflect on all of this. I am not your enemy.
@Howard: Do we or do we not consider Mormons potential allies? Well Mormons are the exact same thing as Freemasonry—Hermeticism—and unlike Freemasons, they don't actually believe in God (Mormonism's "Heavenly Father" is actually the Primordial Man of the Gnostics, they don't have even a pantheistic form of what actual Christians call God). Anti-Catholicism in LDS circles is still going strong, most modern Freemasons (except for some in "Latin" countries) are neutral to benign toward us.
While we're at it, if Freemasonry's ideas in themselves are such a threat, we probably need to knock off the friendly overtures to Jews, too—since the majority school of Jewish theology is, hey guess what, HERMETICISM, just like the Freemasons. You did know that mainstream Jewish theology is Kabbalah, right? Admittedly not Madonna Kabbalah, but still Hermetic emanationist pantheism (the Hasidim even believe all their rabbis are divine emanations). All Jews other than the Talmide ha-Rambam (Maimonideans), who are Scholastic Aristotelians, are in the same philosophical tradition as the Freemasons.
The fact of the matter is that, other than orthodox Christians, everyone in the West—including many "mainstream" Protestants—that isn't explicitly an atheist (and sometimes even then, read Arthur C. Clarke) is a type of pantheist virtually indistinguishable from Freemasonry. Why particularly pick on the Freemasons, over things they neither wish to do nor are able to do anymore?
Gabriel: I appreciate your inquisitional attempt to read my mind, heart, and soul for telltale traces of impurity, but really, that's what the Holy Spirit's job is, so you can hang up your spurs. One would think that since I have taken well nigh two months to write about the importance of private revelation, that might be a hint that I think private revelation is important and that I would not have to write out a profession of faith to satisfy you, Your Honor. If I wanted to simply urge people to throw out private revelation, I would have simply done so. All other readers seem to be able to grasp that my purpose here is to point out 1) that private revelation is a real gift from God; 2) that it must by submitted to the discernment of the Church; and 3) that it cannot supercede or replace either public revelation or the Magisterium. It's not super-complicated. It's also what CCC 67 says. Thanks thogh for stooping down from Olympus and graciously granting that I "nod to Catholic orthodoxy". I am unworthy of such favors from my natural superiors.
Thanks for writing this. Ill forward it to my mom. It might save her from spending more on bees wax candles and passing them out to friends.
This really was a very good analysis of the extremes on both 'sides' of the issue. I am a Charismatic Catholic and also an Opus Dei Catholic. To some that might seem a contradiction. But the Truth is a wider brush than most would allow. The Church follows the absolute Truth that allows for both movements of the Holy Spirit. I personally have reserved my judgment and discernment on the issue of visionaries with the Church. They alone have the authority to bind and loose what is Truth and what is not. If the Church claims it is 'kosher' who are you to claim it isn't? If the Church claim's it is a counterfeit or is still in the process of discernment of Truth who are you to declare that they are too slow or in error because you have decided? By who's authority do you judge those that Christ, Himself, breathed on with His authority as the Son of God, the Holy Spirit in the upper room? The humility of all of the saint of the past are our greatest example of patient trust in Christ's leadership through the one, holy, catholic, apostolic, Church. His Bride and our Holy Mother Church. All for Him! Joyrunr
Excellently and elegantly put. Thank-you!
A few years ago a friend of mine and I accidentally wandered into a meeting of Freemasons at a hotel. It was a bunch of old guys standing around talking who instantly and desperately pounced on the young man (me) who looked like a likely candidate for joining.
I'm not saying Freemasonry as a philosophy and pseudo-religion isn't a problem, just that by that incident they didn't seem to represent any all-powerful cabal. Like the Knights of Columbus, they were desperate for some under-60 blood to keep them from extinction.
Looking at your last article and this present article on private revelations, I would make this observation. In your last article on this topic you conceded quite late in the day (reluctantly it would seem) something that you had completely ignored in the original article. You stated, "As B16 reminds us Paul says 'Despise not prophesying'. Private revelation is given us for our good." This belated nod to Catholic orthodoxy was good to read though you then quickly moved on to this new article which again is so preoccupied with extremists that you in effect practically undermine your own belated advice of "not throwing out the baby with the bathwater" by discarding all private revelation. Your attitude still needs a genuine rethink on this issue to really correspond to the practice of our recent Popes, most notably, but not only, on Fatima.
@Tom in AZ—It's one thing for a country to move from enemy to friend, but it is something else for an idea to move from dangerous to safe. The latter takes much longer, if it ever really happens. Maybe, *maybe* that happened to a certain extent with Greek mythology; Dante was able to use it in the Divine Comedy because no one worshipped Jove anymore. Freemasonry as an idea remains dangerous, though. (That's not to say that many American Freemasons are serious enough to be real threats today.)
@Don't scoff: Leo XIII feared the threat of Freemasonry because in the 19th century, Freemasons were a threat. Given the specific individuals involved (e.g., Peron cronies), Propaganda Due appears to have been more a last gasp of Fascism than anything else; it was also at least a little associated with the Mafia (which is why secret societies are illegal in Italy in the first place). But for the most part, nowadays, the guy that used to be involved in Masonic conspiracies becomes a Marxist or some sort of fellow-traveler. Freemasons in most of the world are NOW about as big a problem as alchemists—if anything, since they are at least non-demoninationally religious (atheists are forbidden from joining), they may be an ally (in some circumstances—probably still not, in "Latin" countries—and always very tentatively).
The threats change. Don't fight yesterday's war today, that's how you lose today's war. England was America's enemy, to varying degrees, right up till the very eve of World War I. Now they're our closest ally. Two of our other close allies are Japan and Germany. If you'd told someone in 1943 that that would be the case, he'd laugh in your face (hell, China and Russia were our allies, then—though they shouldn't have been as close of allies as they were).
Pope Leo XIII feared the threat of Freemasonry enough that he wrote several encyclicals warning about its dangers.
As for a well documented case of Masonic infiltration of the Church, one needs to look no further than the infamous Propaganda Due (P2) Lodge scandal. No kooky, conspiracy theories necessary.
Once should certainly be aware of these things, but not let them detract from the Glory of God.
@Mariclare: Whether or no Mark missed the point of Fatima, you certainly missed the point of his remarks about it.
The danger you mention is present in both public and private revelation. Heresy began soon after the ascension.
The point of Fatima was to warn the faithful. Remember, the miracle was done "so that all would believe". I think you miss the point. Yes, it's true that all are not bound to believe but our attention should be given to our Lady's message. She's trying to tell us something. If all we take away from that is the fact that we don't HAVE to listen then that's just sad.
"I read somewhere that the Vatican has been infiltrated by the Freemasonic Rosicrucian Brotherhood of Luciferian Templars!"
Sounds like some of the rad-trads I've interacted with online. :) I've even heard one that says that the last survivor of the Fatima children was replaced by a double by John Paul II…
Excellent article! I've repeatedly said that I don't believe in the Magisterium of Private Revelations.
I liked your analogy of false teachings-to-counterfeit money. But in fact it may be even more profound than you indicate, because many heresies are quite subtle, and even experts can be fooled. Often an attractive heresy has to be confounded by an entire panel of experts, or by a truly gifted theologian. Not all of us can detect these counterfeits!

Infrared used to be a widely used technology before the rise of Bluetooth. Yet even today in 2010, some users still prefer the use of infrared. Infrared is a technology that allows you to send files and other data to cell phones or computers. Both devices need to have infrared capabilities to send and transfer data. And for it to work, both devices need to face each other to transmit and receive the signal. While the process is a bit slower than Bluetooth, infrared still does the job effectively.
Using a Computer
Setup an infrared connection. If you're doing this by computer, you first need to setup an infrared connection. Go to Start > Control Panel >System Maintenance > Device Manager. Enter in your administration password if prompted. You should see "Infrared devices," double-click this option then right-click and select "Enable." Before exiting out, be sure you have this option checked, "Allow others to send files to my computer using infrared communications."
Send a file or folder to your computer. Do this by making sure your mobile phone and computer are facing one another, to where the infrared ports are directly in front of each other. Wait a few moments for the infrared icon to appear on your computer.
Double-click the infrared icon. Choose whichever file you want to transfer and select "Send." To receive the file onto the computer, wait until you are asked whether you want to receive or reject the file. Click "Accept" and the file will be sent to your computer.
Transferring Files With Cell Phones
Align the phones. Both infrared ports need to face each other.
Select the file you want to transfer. From the menu select "Beam" or "Transfer File" depending on the model of your phone.
Accept the file. Choose where to save the file and wait until the transfer is complete.

• 1800 long bays can be connected horizontally to provide any length required and can connect to wrap around corners or just provide a single scaffold tower.
• Different platform heights are achieved by using different combinations of frames simply placed on top of each other with joiner pins connecting them
• The main feature of this system when compared to other Frame Scaffold systems is the new extra light frames making erection, transport and storage safer, easier and more cost effective.......please feel free to come to our yard and feel the difference!
As an example our 1800 high Resi-Frame weighs just 14.7 Kg and other Standard Frame Scaffold units of the same height weigh about 22Kg......that's a big difference! This reduced weight makes RESIFRAME the ideal scaffold for use in our Scaffold Trailer Packs which we can customized to suit your needs.

Updated: Black Lips Tonight at the Market Hotel
The singer of this Atlanta band is known for hocking wads of spit into the air only to land them on his tongue seconds later. I've never tried to catch a loogie in my own mouth—it's basically spitting on yourself, which isn't cool or punk or revivalist. Spitting on others is a different story, but who wants to deal with messy saliva stains in 2008? Remember: There's a difference between the Stooges and stooges. With Gringo Star and Titus Andronicus. — RYAN DOMBAL

Delicate Christmas blooms create a beautiful beginning on this 40th anniversary party invitation. For one couple, we customized this fine Christmas blooms anniversary invitation design without a photo, although we can feature a wedding or recent photo above the ribbon graphic. An elegant script font highlights the event and couple's names, while the rest of the wording is easily readable in a print font.
All of the graphics, fonts, and colors are customizable when you request those changes in the Notes section at: Fine Ruby 40th Anniversary Card.

Today, I awoke to my husband donning a gorilla mask in the middle of the night. My kids have been staying in a tent out back for the past few nights, and have complained of a "monster" scaring them. I told them that it was their imagination. My husband says he gets a kick out of it. FML

... And your life is fucked how? Maybe you should stop being so uptight. I happen to think its funny, though you should probably tell your kids once they start sleeping in the house again.
This is a crappy FML. NO ONE in this scenario has a fucked life.
Yeah, a story that has nothing to do with you, man your life sucks.
i am so totally doing that when i have kids btw this is more MLIA than FML
hahahahahagahghaha..no wait... buhahahah
To all you people who don't think this is an FML need to get their heads checked. The husband forced the kids to sleep outside their own home for a couple of nights just because he was being a complete dick and because he thought scaring the shit out of his kids was funny but instead this could have tramatised his kids for life! Its also an FML because the OP was forced to lie to her kids since she didn't know what was going on. OP, I'm sorry and you should slap the fuck outta him!
he's a keeper
Similar to your grammar...
i know
#133- Clearly, its not that "obvious" to you because you completely got the "FML" part wrong. But nice try. Next time, make sure you actually understand why its an FML before you go belittling others. The kids were not forced to sleep in the backyard, they CHOSE to sleep in the backyard because for kids, camping out in the backyard is like an adventure, they have no parents to tell them to go to sleep, its dark, its scary, its exciting, etc. Anyways, off topic, it is an FML because she has a husband who gets a kick out of scaring his children with a gorilla mask and gorilla noises. So yeah, just to repeat myself in case a few people reading this are still too thick to understand, the kids were not FORCED to sleep in the tent outside, and nowhere does it say that they were forced (read carefully) and the FML was that her husband is a freak who scares children. Does everybody understand now? Jesus Christ.
It's an FML for the kids. XD
... And your life is fucked how? Maybe you should stop being so uptight. I happen to think its funny, though you should probably tell your kids once they start sleeping in the house again.
Chill dude. It's funny, it's all that's needed for the site. If their lives were truly screwed from the FML, it wouldn't be a funny one, it would be sad, thus wouldn't be posted...
Look at the situation, her kids are afraid, they go to her for advice, comfort and support, and she brushes them off as being liars. Sure it was her husband, but it could have just as easily been a pedophile who lived next door trying to entice the kids to sneak over to his house so their parents wouldn't know they were afraid outside. In either case, she was going to accuse her kids of lying and ignore what they were saying
LMAO @ your name op. but for real, it probably was very funny. just tell them it was Dad when its over and they shouldn't be afraid no more
I sure hope someone returns the favor to that husband of yours. Wish HIS father did that to him.
Today, as my boyfriend left my house, I gave him a long, tight hug. So tight that he threw up. FML

Sibling rivalry is never a pleasant thing but sometimes it has its beauty, especially as you have the recently introduced brother to Luka taking him on in battle. Luze and Luka have their issues stemming from the past and pitting them against each other has its appeal as two rather beautiful men look all aggressive and angry as they wield their swords against each other. Sadly, like much of Uraboku, the fight gets interrupted and ends up being too short as Takashiro teleports himself into the scene to try and change the flow of things when it comes to what's happening to Yuki. While Luka and Luze's fight does continue, the shift in the dynamic does impact it as watching Reiga and Takashiro are far more interesting to watch with their intensity, history and power levels.
Unfortunately, like so much of the show, it all plays out far too short in general. Action sequences come to a premature completion, leaving you feeling unsatisfied for something so epic. When Yuki is drawn into releasing his full ability, it's a moment of intrigue to be certain, but it's almost a throwaway piece as it's over relatively quickly and then it's shuffling everyone off to recover from the action. And that means the entire second half of the last episode is basically full of epilogue. The buildup for the finale had its moments, combined with all the lengthy history we've learned about the Giou clan and various roles within of many of its members in the Twilight Mansion and the Primary Residence. But at the conclusion, even taking into account that it's the characters that really make it all as good as it could be, everyone feels like they got shortchanged of a proper moment to really define themselves by their actions.

It was an ordinary evening, when Grace watched TV and her young tenant roamed around trying to find some pastime. Suddenly he approached her from behind and pushed his hand into her bra trying to touch her nipple with the tip of his pointer. Grace tried to resist him, but she was too weak to overpower the ruggedly built fucker so soon he stripped her off and banged her snatch yelling with pleasure.

By SmugMug
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
We know you get a warm and fuzzy feeling using SmugMug on your computer, but sometimes you just need some SmugMug love on the run. That's why we created the SmugMug app. Now when you want to impress your friends, show off to your co-workers, bring your relatives to tears, or share your work with clients—you've got your favorite photos in a flash. The SmugMug app is the most beautiful way to view photos on your phone or tablet. Not only that, but uploading photos from your mobile devices and other apps to your SmugMug galleries could not be easier. Sharing is caring, so we made sharing your photos simple too. And let's not forget about all those videos you like to take. We can handle them too, so give us all you got.
• You can browse all your SmugMug folders and galleries right from the app. Now you can amaze (or annoy) people with your photos from the palm of your hand.
• Upload unlimited photos and videos to your account. That's right we said unlimited. You got a billion photos? Bring it !
• Save your galleries to your device for offline viewing when you find yourself in a no-interwebs part of the planet...whether that's the Amazon jungle or the right side of your couch in your San Francisco apartment).
• Mark galleries as favorites for easy, instant access. Let's face it, not every gallery you visit is shareable or careable, so star the ones you love for a quick hit of "best photos ever!"
• Share photos and videos via SMS, email, Twitter, and Facebook…whether you want your cat photos to go viral or get your latest work in front of your customers in a flash.
• Follow other SmugMug customers. We make it easy to find friends, family, and people whose work you admire. Inspiration is everywhere you look with the SmugMug family of photographers.
• Enable the SmugMug extension to upload from your Camera Roll, SMS messages and other apps. What's that mean? It means wherever your photos live on your phone or tablet, you can easily move them over to SmugMug. We do the heavy lifting for you.
What's New in Version 3.1.2
Fixed a bug with the share extension.
Customer Reviews
Undoubtably the best out there!
I own and operate a film and photo production company and I was an early adopter of SmugMug. I can't imagine a better solution than what they have to offer. We literally have years of photos and videos that we've created throughout the past 10 years. All of which are both safely backed up on their servers and beautifully displayed. The IOS app is simple and easy to use and I can download and access at anytime. Personally I trust no other. I've even made the mistake of deleting things and the customer service put them back lack nothing ever happened. What more can you ask for?
Missing features
I really like the SmugMug browser based UI (relative to other sites), but the app is missing features and far less fully functional relative to (for example) the Shutterfly mobile app.
I would expect to be able to customize viewing preferences (the album list in Shutterfly is a lot cleaner & easier to read) and order products at the least.
LOVE this app!
This app totally saved my business! I used another cloud based app and it completely wiped every photo of my inventory hours before I was going to post them for sale. My friend recommended SmugMug and I love how I can upload photos directly to it from my iPhone and pick up up on my PC... and the price is not bad for the basic. I will never go back to anything else!

Proclamation #2 Message 26173436
Proclamation #3 Message 27221846
Proclamation #4 Message 27818630
dear all, i wish to focus in 2012 and shall here on out deliberately ignore all who insists on rehashing any old topics of no interest to me. i am sorry having to do so, but while i do not wish to invoke the 'ignore' function (as opposed to the even less used 'ban' function that is no more) i shall now leave the ignored to be ignored or entertained by others while i get down to the biz of financial collapse of 2001.
for those wishing to be put on ignore, you know what to do ;0)
cheers, tj
Hello fellow threaders, first, a few administrative announcements, and these are assuredly of the "do-as-we-go-ruminations-in-process" variety because (i) there is an imperative for administrative announcement, and (ii) my spare clock cycles are few.
My immediate and straightforward choices upon taking hold of the thread whip graciously ceded by the august Elmatador are few, specifically:
(i) Ban myself
(ii) Ban everybody else
(iii) Ban no one
In alignment with my inclination for chaos, crisis, volatility, and all paths that are potentially of the higher energy ways, I, tobagojack, as thread's chief decider, astutely choose (iii) Ban no one.
I am constitutionally biased towards (i) non-interference, (ii) self-determination, and (iii) massively distributed circuitry. I encourage all to use the ignore function, either as that provided for by the ever more useful siliconinvestor site, or that gifted to us by our makers as part of our respective mind-circuitry.
So, use ignore, as judiciously as possible as you judge, but do use the function, for that is what the function is for, to filter.
The thread, as a strong thread, will tolerate much, even the apparent wastrel Maurice Mq, obvious sub-prime evilette cb ilaine, and the for-sure human slug zim the dim in all its manifestations, for they are no threat, because if we are correct, they will naturally waste away, and if we are wrong, we cannot afford to ignore them.
The above notwithstanding, the thread is most assuredly not a mob democracy, meaning I am the chief decider, even should I make no decisions at any time in anyone or any group's favor.
When all above niceties are said and actually done, per "let the hundred flowers bloom" stratagem, I will at unusual times and in mysterious ways step in to stump on, maybe just for my own satisfaction and perhaps even just for the fun of it, because I am the chief decider, or, best of all reasons, for no reason at all.
Cheers, tobagojack
For and on behalf of the office of chief decider
Btw, I decided, without any conference, that the below shall be
Thread spirit: tout ou rien
Thread chant:
Chaos is gift
Crisis partner
Volatility friend
Lonely path right way
Survive to survive another day
Thread anthem: "God Knows" by el perro del mar youtube.com
Thread scripture: "Fiat Money Inflation in France" by Andrew Dickson White mises.org
Thread metal:
Thread ambiance:
Proclamation #2: Message 26173436
Thread Script:
Hereunder is the circa 2002 "Don't Worry" script video.google.com followed by me, Tobagojack, chief decider of the thread, to hopefully navigate the darkest interregnum with success.
Thread song:
Bob Marley Get Up Stand Up youtube.com
Thread spirit:
God Knows (You gotta give to get) youtube.com
Ignore at own peril, or engage for salvation.
cheers, tj

Structured Streaming in Spark
This post gives you a quick overview of the new structured streaming feature in Spark 2.0, illustrating why it's an exciting addition.
This post gives you a quick overview of the new structured streaming feature in Spark 2.0, illustrating why it's an exciting addition.
In this post, Richard walks you through a demo based on the Meetup.com streaming API to illustrate how to predict demand in order to adjust resource allocation.
Andrew gives you a deep dive into pivoting data with SparkSQL. This piece was originally posted on the Databricks blog.
Andrew Ray, Senior Data Engineer, contributed to the most recent release of Spark. This post gives examples of how to use his pivot commit in PySpark.
Our audience of engineers got right into the guts of Spark's GraySort benchmark win last year with Chris Fregly from IBM Spark Technology Center. Here are a few highlights from the meetup.
Rather than get bitten by the idiosyncrasies involved in running Spark on YARN vs. standalone when you go to deploy, here's a way to set up a development environment for Spark that more closely mimics how it's used in the wild.
The Apache Spark big data processing platform has been making waves in the data world, and for good reason.
Everyone at the Strata + Hadoop World Conference in New York earlier this month came away with one strong message:

What is disconcerting is that hotel guests do not get special treatment on the ground floor in the bar where everyone from the festival congregates. Most of th..."

Best hotels in Berlin
Willkommen! Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Well, even if you do not speak German, taking a trip to Berlin for a European getaway is still an excellent choice. As the capital of Germany, Berlin is a tourist's dream destination. With ample opportunities to experience German culture, diverse food, and a myriad of attractions, Berlin has something special to offer everyone who steps foot within the city. You can find the best Berlin hotels in Germany with Hotels.com. Hotels.com shows you photographs of the hotel and rooms before you reserve a room, so you know precisely what you are getting. Furthermore, each hotel has been rated and reviewed by previous guests, who can offer you valuable insights. A handy map is also available to help you find your way to your hotel as well as nearby attractions.
What's Berlin Like?
Versatile and multi-faceted, Berlin is home to attractions that will appeal to every visitor's personality and lifestyle. From planetariums, landscaped parks, and world-renowned zoos to visiting the seat of the German Parliament and government, there are plenty of delightful attractions for everyone. Attractions are located close to many Berlin hotels. Music, publishing, and film are extremely popular in the city of Berlin, as Berlin is considered the center of Germany's film industry. If you are interested in cinema, don't miss the opportunity to see it in Berlin. Speaking of travel, it's easy for tourists to get around while visiting Berlin. Guests can tour the city in an open double-decker bus, take a personal cab or taxi, hop on a local bus, or enjoy a more adventuresome means of transportation such as trams and underground trains. You could take a tour along the 120 miles of navigable waters aboard a boat. If being miles above the city is more your speed, private companies offer visitors helicopter and small aircraft flights to take in the sights from a bird's-eye view. Guests can also take a guided tour on bicycles, mopeds, or simply experience the city on foot. No trip to Berlin would be complete without visiting the wall that divided this city for more than 20 years during the Cold War or a visit to Checkpoint Charlie, where the American and Soviet zones met in the heart of downtown Berlin.
Getting Along with the Locals
When you first check in at your Berlin hotel, you can expect a vastly different cultural experience from most other European cities you may have visited. Many guests and natives have called Berlin "addictive." Once you arrive, you won't want to leave! This larger-than-life city's energy is almost palpable. Berlin is home to native citizens from all over the world, which adds to its different and unique appeal. Ethnic and cultural diversity enriches the city, but it also establishes some definitive societal rules and skills. While shopping or dining, be sure to have cash, as credit cards are not readily accepted. Be sure to introduce yourself to the people you meet rather than wait for an introduction. Finally, while beer and wine are common staples of most dining experiences, appearing intoxicated in public situations is frowned upon, even if it is rather common among younger people in the German capital. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a novice, the city has plenty of incredible opportunities for everyone. Use Hotels.com to book Berlin hotels and experience the various cafés, bars, and restaurants, shop the eclectic clothing stores, and expand your cultural horizons.

"I had a great experience ordering from your site, it took about 5 minutes and the flowers were delivered the next day without any issues. Amazing customer service! Thank you!!"
Konstantin - Moscow, Russia - Sep 29, 2015
"Best Service Ever! Our son is in Spain for a semester and got quite sick - had to take himself to the hospital, get antibiotics, had no one to take care of him. So I found Gift Baskets Overseas online, ordered a healthy breakfast basket, paid with PayPal and crossed my fingers that it wasn't a scam. Not only is it legitimate, but when I didn't have a landline to give them for him they tracked one down (and sent it to me so I'd have it too) and when I gave them an incomplete address (because that's all I had), they tracked that down too. My son got his basket and I'm amazed that service like this still exists. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "

Leisure as Consumption
Agenda Introduction of Debate Brief History of Leisure as Over-Consumption – (Dustin) Current Over-Consumption and Leisure – (Alicia and Collin) Leisure without consumption – (Julian and Tom) Class Activity
History of Leisure as Over- Consumption Spectator sports start to (re) emerge in the mid-1800s Spectator /participant status determined by social class Other commercial amusements took hold in the early 19 th century (dime museums, dance halls, shooting galleries, bowling alleys, billiards halls, amusement parks, etc.) that were all forms of paid entertainment. Thorstein Veblens Theory of the Leisure Class State that the possession and visible use of leisure throughout the ages in Europe had become a symbol for the upper class. Began seeing this in America in the late 19 th century. Coined the terms idle rich, conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure. Thought wealthy members of society exploited a culture of consumption is which the rich depended on the labor of the lower classes. Modern example: early 2000s rap videos
History (Cont.) Early 1900s – Appearance of many more forms of leisure and entertainment that must be paid for. – Creation of a working and middle class that had money and time to use for leisure. Post World War II The Gross National Product (GNP) in the US went from $211 billion in 1945 to over a trillion dollars in 1971. In the 1950s an estimated $30 billion/year was spent on leisure compared to $756 billion in 2005. During the counterculture movement of the 1960s the idea that attaining a respectable position in the workplace was lost, a rejection of the work ethic that had been present since the protestant reformation and industrial revolution. Trend in the 1990s The increase of wealth families in the US was not met by a decline in families below the poverty line (stratification). This wealthy class became caught up in spending on luxury items like cars, yachts, McMansions, clothing, toys, travel, etc. The attempts by privatized businesses to make the leisure market as lucrative as possible took the leisure experience away from being a rewarding, creative experience and turned it into a past-time requiring the mass consumption of market-produced goods and services
Over Consumption and Leisure Above: levels of energy production and consumptions. Top Right: Finances vs. Leisure, unnecessary Bottom Right: Electronics leading to lower levels of active leisure
Leisure and Overconsumption More free time= more consumption People with a 5-day week will consume more goods than the people with a 6-day week. People who have more leisure have more clothes, have a greater variety of food, have more transportation facilities and have more service of various kinds. This increased consumption will require greater production than we now have. Instead of business being slowed up because the people are off work, it will be speeded up... This will lead to more production, more profits and more wages. The result of more leisure will be the exact opposite of what most people might suppose it to be. –Henry Ford
Free Leisure We live in a time when practically everything costs money, especially leisure. Even if you do not pay for the activity itself, you have to pay for the equipment you use, whether its a paint brush, guitar, spatula or hiking boots. So what can you do that doesnt cost money? Meditation Reading Walking Story telling Socializing Singing Natural art Skipping stones Climbing trees Imagination
Cheap Leisure Some forms of leisure require one-time purchases. Others are relatively cheap but require supplementary costs – (Transportation, Maintenance, etc.) Kayaking Biking Sports Equipment Hiking Aquatic Activities Fishing
CLASS ACTIVITY Groups of 3 Each group given note card with activity on it Discuss how expensive the activity would be One group member places note card on board in corresponding price range Class discussion to follow – be prepared to explain your position

The purpose of this article is to provide 25 tips to help you survive as an Alzheimer's caregiver, and to help you avoid some of the negative health effects that are often associated with stressful caregiving.
By Marie Marley
Alzheimer's Reading Room
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that there are more than 15 million people serving as caregivers to people with Alzheimer's.
The Family Caregiver Alliance states that caregivers are at increased risk for declines in physical and mental health. Furthermore, the Alliance states that women experience worse health effects than men.
Finally, an article originally published in the American Journal of Nursing says that caring for someone with dementia causes worse health effects than caring for people with other diseases.
The purpose of this article is to provide 25 tips to help you survive as an Alzheimer's caregiver and avoid some of these negative health effects.
