Theologians approve Paul VI "miracle"
At the beginning of this week, the consultation of expert theologians from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of Giovanni Battista Montini, Pope Paul VI. Now, the healing which had been termed "inexplicable" by the medical consultation headed by Professor Patrizio Polisca, will have to be examined by the dicastery's cardinals and bishops before receiving final approval from Pope Francis. If, as authoritative sources from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints tell Vatican Insider, these latest steps are concluded quickly, Montini could be beatified within the next few months.
The Postulator of the Cause, Fr. Antonio Marrazzo, had selected, from the various incidents presented, a healing case which early medical examinations classed as "inexplicable". On 20 December 2012, shortly before Benedict XVI's historic resignation, he proclaimed the heroic virtue of Paul VI, concluding the canonical process. For Paul VI to be beatified, all that was needed was for one miracle to be approved.
The miracle which Marrazzo presented to the Congregation's consultation involved the healing o fan unborn child in California in the early 90's. Doctors had found a serious defect in the foetus and high risk of brain damage which surgery implied, they advised the mother to abort. The woman refused and decided to have the child, entrusting the fate of the child to the intercession of Paul VI, the Pope who wrote the "Humanae vitae" encyclical in 1968. She did so despite being told without a shadow of a doubt that her child would be born with serious physical and brain handicaps.
But the child was born with no defects. Doctors waited to see whether problems would arise during the child's adolescence before confirming that the child was completely healed. The Postulator of the Pope Paul VI's cause said this was an extraordinary and supernatural event which took place through the intercession of the late Pope. It was in line with his magisterium and the contents of the "Humanae Vitae" encyclical, i.e. the defence of life, "but also the defence of the family, because that document discusses married love, not just unborn life. This healing is in harmony with Montini's teaching."

Reflection on the Daily Readings for 5/25/09 by Fr. Bertrand Buby, SM
Today's Readings
Scripture: Mon.of 7th week of Easter. Acts 19:1-8. Psalm 68:2-3.4-5.6-7.
John 16:29-33. Lectionary # 297:
"Take courage I have overcome the world;" Jesus says these words to his
apostles and to us at the end of today's Gospel from John 16:33. Jesus
confirms all of us in our faith and trust in him with these words. They
support us in times of trial, suffering, temptations, and doubt. Yves
Congar writes,"Our earthly condition is essentially that of wayfarers, of
incompleteness moving toward fulfillment, and therefore of struggle." We
often feel that God may not be near or is not listening to our sincere cry
for help in our prayers, but the example of Paul and the apostles helps us
to understand that this is part of the wayfarer's journey. By our
returning to the graces of our baptism we again sense the presence of the
Holy Spirit who fills the hearts of the faithful with gifts beyond our
weaknesses and struggles. The Spirit is our Advocate and our Consoler in
such times and comes to us because Jesus has promised that we would be
given the Holy Spirit as our Paraclete. We need the Spirit to return to
Jesus' words, "Take courage!" By reflecting again on those words we
become convinced that Jesus and the Spirit are with us. "Behold! I am with
you all the days even to the end of the world." We are convinced that Jesus
has overcome the evil of the world and the prince of darkness. We again
listen and hear Jesus saying, "In me you will find peace."
The lesson from Acts is somewhat similar in that Paul leads twelve people
from Ephesus to build on their trust in the baptism that John preached and
to raise it to the baptism that is given in the Name of Jesus. These men
like Apollo accept the advice of Paul and after he lays hands on them they
receive the Spirit and are baptized and confirmed in that Holy Spirit. They
begin to speak in tongues and to prophesy. We read, "As Paul laid his hands
on them and they began to speak in tongues and to utter prophecies. There
were in the company about twelve men."
Through the Holy Spirit the face of the earth has been renewed and our
hearts again find confirmation in faith and trust. We now are able to
listen and hear Jesus say strongly to each one of us, "Take courage I have
overcome the world." We pray in profound thanksgiving for the Gifts of the
Spirit. Meister Eckart gives us this advice while doing so, "If the only
prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would
suffice." Amen.

Bacterial symbioses are widespread among insects. The early establishment of such symbiotic associations has probably been one of the key factors for the evolutionary success of insects, since it may have allowed access to novel ecological niches and to new imbalanced food resources, such as plant sap or blood. Several genomes of bacterial endosymbionts of different insect species have been recently sequenced, and their biology has been extensively studied. Recently, the complete genome sequence of Candidatus Carsonella ruddii, considered the primary endosymbiont of the psyllid Pachpsylla venusta, has been published. This genome consists of a circular chromosome of 159,662 bp and has been proposed as the smallest bacterial endosymbiont genome known to date.
The detailed analysis of the gene content of C. ruddii shows that the extensive degradation of the genome is not compatible with its consideration as a mutualistic endosymbiont and, even more, as a living organism. The ability to perform most essential functions for a cell to be considered alive is heavily impaired by the lack of genes involved in DNA replication, transcription and translation. Furthermore, the shortening of genes causes, in some cases, the loss of essential domains and functional residues needed to fulfill such vital functions. In addition, at least half of the pathways towards the biosynthesis of essential amino acids, its proposed symbiotic function, are completely or partially lost.
We propose that this strain of C. ruddii can be viewed as a further step towards the degeneration of the former primary endosymbiont and its transformation in a subcellular new entity between living cells and organelles. Although the transition of genes from C. ruddii to the host nucleus has been proposed, the amount of genes that should have been transferred to the germinal line of the insect would be so big that it would be more plausible to consider the implication of the mitochondrial machinery encoded in the insect nucleus. Furthermore, since most genes for the biosynthesis of essential amino acids have also been lost, it is likely that the host depends on another yet unidentified symbiont to complement its deficient diet.
- Essential Amino Acid
- Informational Process
- Minimal Genome
- Secondary Symbiont
- Primary Endosymbiont
Obligate mutualistic symbioses between insects and proteobacteria have been extensively studied in recent years [1]. The bacteria live in specialized host cells and synthesize those nutrients that are defective in the insects' restricted diets, as confirmed by genomic analyses of several endosymbionts from different insect species. Thus, Buchnera aphidicola and Blochmannia spp. provide mainly amino acids to their hosts, aphids and ants respectively [2–7], whereas Wigglesworthia glossinidia supplies vitamins and cofactors to the tsetse fly [8]. In the case of the sharpshooters, the genomic analysis revealed that two cohabiting endosymbionts, Baumannia cicadellinicola and Sulcia muelleri (a Bacteroidetes species) are engaged on the symbiotic relationship, providing vitamins and amino acids respectively [9].
Because they live in a protected and nutrient-rich environment, these endosymbiont genomes have experienced a reductive evolutionary process leading to smaller genome sizes than those of their free-living relatives. Nevertheless, they have retained the genes involved in the symbiotic relationship, as well as a reduced repertoire of genes necessary to maintain the three essential functions that define a living cell: maintenance, reproduction and evolution [10]. In the case of B. aphidicola BCc, despite its extremely reduced genome (422 kb, and only 362 protein-coding genes), it still retains a complete machinery for DNA replication, transcription and translation, and a simplified metabolic network for energy production and the synthesis of most essential amino acids needed by its aphid host. However, the loss of genes for the synthesis of tryptophan and riboflavin suggests that it cannot guarantee its host fitness, and it is plausible that a second endosymbiont could be taking on its symbiotic role [7].
Candidatus Carsonella ruddii, considered the primary endosymbiont of the psyllid Pachpsylla venusta, possess a 159,662-bp genome, with only 182 predicted open reading frames [11]. This number of genes is widely below previous proposals for minimal genomes (reviewed in [12]) and is almost half of the number of genes identified in B. aphidicola BCc. Such small number of genes casts doubts on the character of C. ruddii as a living cell. We present a detailed functional analysis of the genes retained in this small genome in order to gain new insights on the physiological role of this putative cell and the significance of the dramatic reductive process suffered by its genome.
Results and discussion
Primary endosymbionts of insects cannot be cultured in the laboratory, making experimental analysis difficult. Therefore, the functional analysis of their genome content must rely on comparative analyses with related bacteria. However, caution must be taken when assigning a function using this approach, especially if shortened genes are identified, since some gene regions coding for specific protein domains that are related with the annotated function can be lost. In some cases, genes encoding proteins with multiple functions may lose the domain(s) responsible for some of these activities [see Additional file 2]. These circumstances might lead to the assignment of a gene to an incorrect functional category, which could lead to an erroneous determination of the set of functions a bacterium is able to perform. C. ruddii genes are considerably shorter than the orthologs found in other bacteria, and show extensive genetic divergence with respect to other γ-proteobacteria, mainly because their high A+T content. Therefore, the risk of over-annotation is especially high for this genome.
In order to consider that C. ruddii is a living organism engaged in a symbiotic relationship with its host, the genes involved in essential living functions as well as those needed for the maintenance of host fitness must be preserved. To elucidate if C. ruddii genome was fulfilling both conditions, we focused our analysis on the genes involved in informational processes (needed for the most essential functions for survival) and the biosynthesis of amino acids (the proposed endosymbiotic role of this biological entity).

As it lacks most genes for DNA replication, transcription and translation, this biological entity might be dependent on an external source for these functions. Although the transition of genes from C. ruddii to the host nucleus has been proposed [11], it should be taken into account that the ancestor of the psyllids infected by the ancestor of C. ruddi was already a complex multicellular organism, so that all transferred genes must have been acquired by the germinal cell line. The amount of genes that should have been transferred is so big that it would be more plausible to consider that this intracellular entity takes advantage of some nuclear genes involved in the mitochondrial activity. The dual target of proteins encoded by the eukaryotic nucleus between different organelles (mitochondria and plastids) has already been described in plant cells, especially regarding genes involved in informational processes [16, 17].
In addition to the essential functions that define life, an endosymbiont must provide its host all essential complements to its nutritionally deficient diet. Psyllids feed on phloem sap, rich in sugars but relatively poor in nitrogenated compounds, especially essential amino acids. Since it has been proposed that the role of C. ruddii, similarly to B. aphidicola, is providing those amino acids to its host [18], we looked for the maintenance of all pathways involved in essential amino acids biosynthesis [see Additional file 3] [19, 20]. The analysis revealed that the pathways for the synthesis of histidine, phenylalanine and tryptophan are absent. Moreover, although the threonine biosynthetic pathway is complete, thrB is probably not functional, and thus an activity as yet unidentified should supply such function. The same case happens in Candidatus Ruthia magnifica, an autotrophic endosymbiotic with a complete metabolic network in which the thrB gene is absent in the context of an otherwise complete threonine biosynthetic pathway [21]. This limited provision of amino acids is not enough to sustain the requirements of its host. The loss of essential endosymbiotic functions has also been detected in other insect-bacteria associations but, in such cases, a second symbiont appears to be complementing the insect diet [7, 9]. Surprisingly, although secondary symbionts have been found in other psyllids, no other symbionts were detected in Pachpsylla venusta [11, 18]. Nevertheless, such statement is based on a single work, where only bacterial symbionts were searched by PCR amplification of 16S-23S rDNA [18], and the absence of contaminating sequences during the sequencing project, which was performed on DNA purified from bacteriocytes [11]. Therefore, a problem on a specific amplification reaction cannot be discarded, and an extracellular and/or eukaryotic symbiont would not have been detected by these analyses [22, 23]. If another partner is detected in this symbiotic association, the possibility that C. ruddii is the remnant of an ancient endosymbiont that is being driven towards its extinction and replacement by the new symbiont, as it has already been proposed in other insects [7, 22, 24], cannot be ruled out.
A careful functional analysis of the gene repertoire of C. ruddii reveals that the extensive degradation of its genome is not compatible with its consideration as a mutualistic endosymbiont and, even more, as a living organism. Although C. ruddii is defined as a psyllid primary endosymbiont, the genes for the biosynthesis of three essential amino acids have been completely lost. This observation raises doubts about both the role of C. ruddii in the symbiotic relationship with its host and the absence of a secondary symbiont capable to provide the rest of necessary nutrients to complement the unbalanced insect diet. Although a bacterial symbiont has not been found in the psyllid Pachpsylla venusta, further studies need to be conducted in order to detect the possibility of a second, maybe eukaryotic, symbiont.
We propose that this strain of C. ruddii can be viewed as a further step towards the degeneration of the former primary endosymbiont, and its transformation in a subcellular new entity between living cells and organelles, which probably would take advantage of mitochondrial functions encoded by the nucleus, especially for basic informational processes needed for maintenance and multiplication. If confirmed, this would be the first example of such a scenario in animal cells.
In order to confirm the presence and functionality of all ORFs identified in the original report and search for additional functions, the complete genome sequence of C. ruddii (accession number AP009180) was re-analyzed. This is particularly relevant in this case, as 46 of the putative genes (25% of the genome) are annotated as hypothetical ORFs in the original report. ORFs with putative functions were obtained from the original annotation of the genome and complemented with Glimmer predictions [25]. This set of putative ORFs was checked by homology searches using BLASTX and the latest version of GenBank database. All hits with e-values above 1e-02 were disregarded. Whenever a clear homology was found, the putative ORF was translated, and the protein sequences were aligned using ClustalW [26] with the corresponding translated orthologous genes found in E. coli and all sequenced B. aphidicola genomes (accession numbers U00096.2, BA000003, AE013218, AE016826 and CP000263). Many proteins were found to be rather degraded, presenting numerous deletions and a high number of amino acid changes. In order to confirm the maintenance of the original function, we looked for the presence of the domains and active residues (if known) responsible for functionality, using information in Uniprot, Pfam, EcoCyc, and EcoGene databases [27–30]. The secondary structures of the resulting proteins and their orthologs were also compared, to exclude major structural changes that could impede function.
Looking for possible essential functions that might have been missed on the original annotation, the genes responsible for these functions in γ-proteobacteria were retrieved, and used to build Hidden Markov Models and perform searches in the C. ruddii genome with HMMER [31]. Manual inspection of the results may allow detecting subtle homologies that could have been missed in the BLASTX search. In addition, positional information was taken into account to identify genes that maintain synteny with other completely sequenced γ-proteobacteria genomes. All combined strategies allowed the annotation of 17 previously considered orphan genes, six of which appear to be functional. In addition, 9 previously annotated genes were considered unfunctional [see Additional file 1]. Therefore, there are only 29 ORFs in the C. ruddii genome that remain annotated as hypothetical proteins, while 20 ORFs can be traced back to ancestral functional genes, although the changes in the sequence indicate that they probably are non-functional.
Ribosomal RNA genes were confirmed with BLASTN. Anticodons for tRNA genes were identified with tRNAscan-SE [32]. Discrimination of tRNA genes with anticodon CAT was performed with the program TFAM [33] using the tRNA profiles of initiator tRNAMet, elongator tRNAMet and tRNAIle(CAT) [34].
Metabolic pathways were reconstructed using KEGG [35], and enzyme characteristics were checked in BRENDA [36].

Now I'm feeling upbeat, ready to check something off my "Crafts To Do" list, but still looking forward to going to the pool with my kiddos :) Thanks SO much to Vanessa over at The Sewer, The Caker, The CopyCat Maker for the award! Her blog is a new one like mine, and has really cute stuff, hop over and check her out!
Rules of receiving this award:
1. Thank the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic! (in no particular order...)
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.
Here we go:
7 things about Me...hmmm
1. I have two kids, a 3 year old girl named Skylee and a 1 year old boy, Parker. Like most mother's, they are my drive, life, stress, and comic relief :)
2. I dream about one day my house looking like some kind of showroom at each holiday/special occasion. I recently asked my husband "Do you think it's strange that I'm sad I can't decorate for the 4th of July?" (we're going out of town) He thought I had gone nuts, but told me I could decorate the houseboat we'll be on instead (HA, as if I would hall my craft supplies out there...on second thought, maybe I will!).
3. I LOVE Chocolate. Every night I have that craving that just nags at me until I give in. I bake chocolate chip cookies on a very regular basis, but my kids have no idea. We pull them out after they go to sleep. Shhhhh!
4. I grew up in Southern California and now call Southeast Georgia home. Thank you military :/ (My husband is in the Coast Guard) only about 3000 miles away from where I'd like to be, but it could be worse, right!?!
5. I craft because I love beautiful things, but don't have the money for some of the more pricey looks. I figured out that I could make the things I want for less money, and more practice. I took up crafting as a challenge to myself, it's a skill that I'm trying to develop. In the 3 weeks since my first post here, I have LOVED the comments, support, and people!
6. I like to bake sweets, but I don't like to cook dinner. I don't mind doing laundry, but I don't like to put the clothes away. I like a clean, well organized house, but I have 2 small children and a husband that's always on the go. That's life I guess :P
7. As a teenager in high school, I liked trying different sports. Cross country, water polo (my fav), pole vault, and cheerleading. Now I'm lucky to make it to the gym a couple days a week...it's just not as fun as it used to be, but with all those cookies, it's just as important ;)
The next blogs that I chose to continue the award love with, are ones that I enjoy spending some time, some I just found, and a couple I've been stalking for a while :) Each of them inspire me.
And the award goes to... (am I qualified to do this? ;) )

It is refreshing to read different Blogs to get a new perspective from different sources. No matter how much I read it never ceases to amaze me how many people have different ways of optimizing their sites that are effective yet vary from the main stream of typical SEO methods. The reason I feel these websites do so well is not because of optimization but the genuine use of new, fresh,well written content. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work. Thank you allowing me the the privilege of reading your blog.

The figures came to light during a series of evidence sessions for the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, which is investigating the effects of immigration controls on international student numbers in STEM subjects.
Among the institutions that gave evidence on 4 March, Aston University said that Indian student numbers have fallen by 69 per cent per cent since 2009. At Loughborough University the number has fallen by almost 50 per cent in recent years.
Meanwhile, at the University of Manchester the number of STEM students from India fell 61 per cent between 2010 and 2012.
The 2012-13 academic year saw the first fall in the number of international students studying in the UK ever recorded.
Evidence presented at the session by several of the universities represented suggested that changes to student visas and the perception that overseas students are not welcome in the UK are behind the falling numbers.
Georgina Rippon, pro-vice chancellor for international relations at Aston University said that postgraduate courses have taken the most significant hit in terms of international students at her institution. Student numbers for these courses have fallen 70 per cent since 2009, with a 14 per cent fall in the last year alone.
The drop in postgraduate numbers is seen most significantly in subjects allied to medicine, such as pharmacy, biomedical science and optometry, she said. These are the subjects that Indian students often came to study, she added.
Professor Rippen explained that postgraduate engineering courses have also taken a hit, but that was not as great as for subjects allied to medicine.
Ian Bradley, head of academic services in the engineering and physical sciences at University of Manchester, said that he has also seen significant drops in the number of students from Nigeria and Pakistan.
He added that the fall in international students has been larger in STEM subjects compared with the university as a whole. "The most marked drop is at postgraduate master's level, but we have seen a worrying drop in postgraduate research recruitment," he said.
Mr Bradley said that other countries are now recruiting more Indian students. The number of Indian students studying in the USA is up 40 per cent and in Australia 20 per cent, he added. "It is clear it is not a matter of Indian students not wanting to leave India to study, it is about where they are choosing to go," he said.
At Loughborough, vice-chancellor Robert Allison said that the university has picked up students from China coming to study business and economics to replace the numbers lost in STEM subjects.
But not all university representatives quizzed by the committee had seen a fall in international numbers.
Colin Riordan, vice-chancellor of the University of Cardiff, said that his institution has seen growth. But he added that this has not been as strong as expected given the level of investment by the institution.

Swarming guitar fuzz, bass waves, Jana Hunter's voice, and insistent drum throbs are the core components of Baltimore's Lower Dens. Hunter, sometimes known for intimate, ghost-heavy weird-fi, is now writing and playing with a group that might get filed as new wave, or drone pop, or post-punk. With due deference to her solo work, we're very glad.
The swarming wave-throb, coupled with Hunter's lyrics and redolent, charred voice, wrecks. The band's upcoming record, Twin-Hand Movement, is eleven perfect songs long. From opener "Blue & Silver" (anxiety mounts at a quick clip until the final climactic release) to "Plastic & Powder" (a churning, narcotic slow-burner) to "Hospice Gates" (penultimate album cut, proud weirdo anthem, possible creative zenith), not one is a space-taker. They're rife with the survivalist paranoia you'd expect from residents of a post-urban port hole (and this particular songwriter), crafted methodically and beautifully, and carry you enthusiastically out into the rolling breaks of industrial filth-water.
Lower Dens formed in 2009, when Hunter set about finding a full-time band. They spent the rest of the year sweating in attics and basements, and only stepped out of the shadows to do a quick tour and record. Twin-Hand Movement was recorded by Chris Freeland (ex-Oxes drummer; proprietor of Beat Babies, Baltimore), mixed by Chris Coady (at his DNA, NYC), and mastered by Sarah Register (of the Lodge, NYC and the band Talk Normal.)

Their pointless, endless raving
Try to save our souls
Beats his inflated chest for
an audience of fools
Making us all so tired
Heard those lies before
It's a compilation of various outtakes, b-sides, and also BBC radio sessions. The album opens in fantastic style, with the super-rockin' "Dive", followed by (in my opinion) the best ever Nirvana song, "Sliver" (which is totally unlike anything else they did). From then on, the album is split into two distinct halves. The first half is very happy, cheerful stuff, with a whole lot of covers (some from The Vaselines, and a brilliant Devo cover). This is Nirvana at their most happy. The second half is mostly Bleach-outtakes, and so is a lot heavier and not so friendly to the listener. It also sees Kurt messing around a lot with his voice, trying out different stuff. It takes a while to get into the second half of the album, but it's well worth it. There is some great music going down here. "Beeswax", "Mexican Seafood" and "Hairspray Queen" all have killer tunes. Check out the bassline on "Hairspray Queen" - I love that damn bassline! "Downer" is a great song, which is also the last track on the Bleach CD. "Beeswax" has some potentially-very-crazy-and-cool lyrics. All in all, this is a really great grab-bag of stuff. Lots of cool songs - Buy it!
The album was released on December 14, 1992 in Europe, and December 15, 1992 in the United States and eventually reached number thirty-nine on the Billboard 200."

(ARA) - To really impress your guests this summer, give your outdoor soirees a little extra elegance that goes beyond the usual grill-out. The good news is that it's easier than you'd imagine to create an ambiance that is welcoming and sophisticated.
One of the keys to throwing an upscale backyard get together is to plan in advance. Once you have an idea of what you'd like to do, it's time to start letting people know. And we all know how busy summer schedules are, so informing your guests as much as a few weeks ahead of time is a courtesy they'll appreciate.
Here are some of the elements you'll need to create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor entertaining this summer.
* Decor: Having a jumble of mixed and matched chairs can be either charming or a visual distraction. If you have an assortment of old wooden chairs, it gives things a rustic feel; if it's decades-old folding chairs in clashing colors and styles, it looks mismatched. Aim for a consistent look, whether it's shabby chic or modern. If your tables and surfaces don't tie in perfectly, there's an easy fix: simply cover them with a tablecloth that has the same feel as the rest of your decor. Add planters of flowers in colors that coordinate with your theme.
* Comfort: Swatting at insects during a party is almost impossible if you're holding a beverage and a plate of hors d'oeuvres and uncomfortable even if your hands are free. Warm summer evenings often mean bare legs and arms, and the last thing you want your guests to remember is how many bug bites they got. To add beautiful, soft lighting while discouraging bugs, opt for mosquito blocking candles. Place them on tables or around your patio. The Conceal line from Yankee Candle will not only block mosquitoes, it also has a pleasant, garden-fresh scent that will add to your party's ambiance.
* Menu: Food does not need to be elaborate to be both beautiful and delicious. Take a cue from the rustic food traditions of Italy, France and Spain, where simple foods like garden vegetables, artisan breads and grilled meats make a major impact with surprisingly easy preparation. Keep the focus on vegetables and fruits, with one or two meat, poultry or fish options, to create a beautiful, healthy arrangement of dishes.
* Music: Depending on the mood you want to establish, you can choose from an endless supply of music available for download. Try salsa music for liveliness, flamenco guitar for dramatic artistry, Malian kora music for serenity or updated bossa nova for an unmistakably summery, beachy feel.
Outdoor entertaining is one of the best things about summer, whether you're a host or a guest. When you're hosting, the main goal is to create a relaxing, lovely environment during which your guests can forget their every care, whether it's the stress of work or the usual summer annoyances of mosquito bites. For more information about the Conceal line of outdoor mosquito candles from Yankee Candle, go to www.yankeecandle.com. When you provide your guests with a perfect escape for one evening, you've mastered outdoor entertaining.

Capitol and Henson Adapting "Five Children and It"
of Comingsoon.net
Capitol Films is teaming with Jim Henson's Creature Shop to produce "Five Children and It", a family adventure film based on Edith Nesbit's classic 1902 novel, says Variety. Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Izzard and Freddie Highmore (Peter Pan in J.M. Barrie's Neverland) will star in the $20 million movie, to be directed by Creature Shop topper John Stephenson.
It's the story of five siblings who are sent to stay with their uncle (Branagh) in a strange house by the sea. While exploring, they dig up an ill-tempered 8,000-year-old Psammead, or sand fairy, voiced by Izzard, who grants them one wish a day. But the consequences are never quite what the children intend.
The film, which starts shooting in July, will blend live action with animatronics and CGI. The setting will be considerably updated from the book's original period, but it will not be explicitly contemporary.
The script is by David Solomon, with Nick Hirschkorn and Lisa Henson producing.

text: From Passion to Despair: An Ill-Fated Interfaith Romance By Ronnie Friedland 265 A review of the film Solomon and Gaenor Rating Scheme: 5 ***** is best, 1* is worst Overall rating: *** Acting: **** Cinematography: **** Character Development: *** Overall Coherence of Film: ** Avoids Unnecessary Violence: **** Avoids Unnecessary Sexual Content: **** Engages and Keeps Viewer's Interest: **** In Solomon and Gaenor, the lure of a different culture, a beautiful girl, and the chance to escape a cloistered environment and assume a new identity all lead Solomon, a young Jew who clearly lacks the wisdom of his namesake, to enter into a relationship with Gaenor, a young Welsh woman from a family of miners. Knowing that he wouldn't be accepted in the Welsh town because he was Jewish, Solomon hides his religious identity from the townspeople and from Gaenor. The film is set In 1911 Wales, where rigid boundaries and defenses protect Solomon's Jewish and Gaenor's Protestant families from outside influences. Strong barriers exist between "them" and "us," with the "other" frequently seen as an enemy. The film takes place during a time of heightened tension, due to the harsh effects of a miners' strike. In the midst of this difficult situation, the immature young couple from two hostile camps develops a strong mutual attraction. In the beginning of the film, we see a frustrated Solomon, played by Welsh actor Ioan Grufodd (Titanic and Wilde), who seems to have had his fill of rabbinic teachings. Consequently, he is delighted when he can escape the confines of his crowded home and take on a job as a pacman, who goes from door to door selling cloth to a nearby village. As Solomon sets out on his first job away from his Jewish community, he encounters a Welshman who asks if he is one of "those Jews." Solomon's instinct is to deny that he is Jew and to claim to be an Englishman from over the mountain. He continues this deception when a meets Gaenor, played by Nia Roberts (The Theory of Flight), to whom he is attracted. The attraction is mutual, and a passionate relationship develops between Solomon and Gaenor. Despite knowing that Gaenor's family would reject him if they knew that he was Jewish, and that his own Jewish community would equally reject Gaenor because she was not Jewish, Solomon nevertheless pursues his attraction, while continuing to hide his identity from Gaenor and their relationship from his family. We see him asking Geanor to avert her eyes as he undresses, not because he is shy, but because he doesn't want her to see his tzitzit (prayer fringes). Eventually, Solomon begins to take off his tzitzit before he arrives at her village, hiding the garment behind some stones in a wall. Besotted, Gaenor introduces Solomon to her family, where he continues his deception. When Solomon declines to introduce Gaenor to his family, she becomes furious, accusing him of wanting only a sexual relationship from her. Suspecting that he is ashamed of her poverty, she does some investigating, finds his home, and realizes that he is Jewish. She then understands why he hadn't introduced her to his family, but is horrified that he had not revealed his true identity to her. Despite the fact that she now realizes she is pregnant with Solomon's child, she decides that she no longer wants to see a man who has been so dishonest with her. As her pregnancy develops Gaenor is denounced publicly in her church, where she is told that she will be shunned for being so sinful. Solomon learns of the pregnancy, however, and they make plans to run away together. That night, as he goes to fetch her, her brutish brother Crad, played by Mark Lewis Jones (Paper Mask and The Shell Seekers), leads a group of angry Welshmen to burn the Jewish village down. The miners, who are suffering from the effects of a strike, resent the relative prosperity of the Jews. Solomon's family loses everything, and he allows himself to be sent away from Gaenor, apparently horrified that it was her brother who led the attack. He promises Gaenor, however, that he will find her before she gives birth. Gaenor, meanwhile, goes to see Solomon's parents, telling them that she is carrying his child, their grandchild, and asking them to tell her where Solomon is. Solomon's mother replies coldly, blaming Gaenor for the pregnancy and stating that Solomon's life shouldn¹t be ruined due to Geanor's misbehavior. She utterly disavows any concern for or interest in the child, and refuses to give Solomon any messages from Gaenor. Similarly, Gaenor's brother Crad has buried Solomon¹s letter to her, so that she never knew he had tried to reach her. Then, when Solomon returns to find her, Crad beats him up. Finally, partially frozen and near-death, Solomon arrives–wearing his prayer shawl–at the distant village where Gaenor had been sent to give birth. He marries her–under a chuppah, or Jewish wedding canopy–before the baby is born, and dies that night. Ultimately, the unwanted baby is given away, and Gaenor returns to her village, not with her baby but with the coffin of her husband. The rigid boundaries have been preserved; the ill-fated romance could not prevail. Solomon and Gaenor explores the difficulties of conducting an interfaith relationship against a backdrop of mutual suspicion between the couple's families. Interestingly, this film was written and directed by a psychotherapist, Paul Morrison, who has also directed other works on Jewish themes: From Bitter Earth (a documentary about drawings and paintings created in the concentration camps and ghettos of World War 11) and "A Sense of Belonging" (a TV series about the dilemmas of being both British and Jewish), as well as a film about racism, Divide and Rule Never, which won first prize at the Oberhausen Film Festival. The film takes place nearly 100 years ago, and a great deal has changed since then. In the United States, the rate of interfaith marriage has dramatically increased, while anti-Semitism has greatly decreased–to the extent that we now have a Jewish candidate for vice president. Nevertheless, resistance to interfaith marriages continues, both within the Jewish community and outside of it. Certainly, the pressure to please disappointed parents continues to create difficulties and heartache for many interfaith couples. The film is a shocking reminder how parents' unwillingness to accept their adult children's choices can have dire consequences. Finding the appropriate balance between adhering to values while accepting children's choices remains a challenge that many parents will have to face.

Inniskillin Ice Wine - $36.00
(No rating yet)
Vidal is a hybrid varietal that is designed to survive in the harsh icy north. The precious grapes are then pressed in the extreme cold to extract the luscious nectar. In this process, the water content in each grape which is about 80% remains frozen as ice crystals. These crystals will remain inside the grape during pressing puncturing the skin for added flavors. The resulting juice is highly concentrated and rich.
