Last year my publisher, Our Sunday Visitor, asked me to do an expanded version of yet another of my books — The Mass of the Early Christians. Earlier, OSV had released an expanded edition of The Fathers of the Church, and the response was great.
Well, we were all set to re-release The Mass of the Early Christians in late summer, just in time to be used as a college and high-school textbook for Fall semester. But we ran into a problem: sales surged for the first edition, and it's almost sold out. So OSV is rushing the expanded edition into print in late May.
You can pre-order it now by calling OSV — toll-free at 1-800-348-2440 — and using item number T-419. For those of you who'd rather wait till it's on Amazon: hang tight — I'll let you know as soon as it's up.
Here's what reviewers said about the first edition:
"This is an excellent and exciting work. I wish that The Mass of the Early Christians was compulsory reading for all ordinands. Mike Aquilina is to be congratulated."
— Robert Beaken, New Directions (U.K.)
"All Christians from liturgical traditions can read this book with profit and find comfort in the firm historical basis of their own worship. Those who have shunned liturgical worship might after reading this book reconsider their position and wonder what they have been missing."
— Christian Book Reviews
"The Mass we know on Sunday—the Mass you encounter in this book—is where Tradition lives, where Church's memory reigns 'in the Spirit.' Read this book, then, and remember."
— Scott Hahn, professor, Franciscan University
"Aquilina is to be congratulated for making these texts accessible to a new and wide-ranging audience allowing us to echo the cry voiced by the martyrs of North Africa in the third century: 'we cannot live without the Mass!'"
— Fr. Joseph Linck, rector, St. John Fisher Seminary
"Mike Aquilina has performed a needed service in making this heritage accessible to non-specialists."
— Oswald Sobrino, Esq.
"Aquilina has done us a great service in summarizing 300 years of church history in a 239-page book."
— Richard J. Vincent, theocentric.com
What's new in the expanded edition? Lots. The book's a good deal bigger. There are at least six new chapters — on Clement of Rome, Cornelius, Firmilian, the Anaphora of St. Mark, Eusebius, and the Council of Nicea. I added several more apocryphal texts, and included a discussion of the recently discovered Gospel of Judas. I also added more texts by Cyprian, Origen, Clement of Alexandria, and others. Still other chapters were extensively rewritten based on more recent scholarship.
The publisher's boasts make me blush, but I'll share the promo copy with you anyway:
What did the first Christians believe about the Eucharist?
How did they follow Jesus' command, "Do this in remembrance of me"?
How did they celebrate the Lord's Day?
What would they recognize in today's Mass?
The answers may surprise you.
In The Mass of the Early Christians, author Mike Aquilina reveals the Church's most ancient Eucharistic beliefs and practices. Using the words of the early Christians themselves — from many documents and inscriptions — Aquilina traces the Mass's history from Jesus' lifetime through the fourth century. The Mass stood at the center of the Church's life, evident in the Scriptures as well as the earliest Christian sermons, letters, artwork, tombstones, and architecture. Even the pagans bore witness to the Mass in the records of their persecutions.
In these legacies from the early Church, you'll hear and "taste and see" the same worship Catholics know today: the altar, the priests, the chalice of wine, the bread, the Sign of the Cross … the "Lord, have mercy" … the "Holy, holy, holy" … and the Communion.
You'll see vividly how Jesus followed through on his promise to be with us always, until the end of time.
Hope you'll at least put it on your wish list! Thanks for celebrating with me. I do love this book.

The bettors were right: Rosanna Davison, Miss Ireland, won the Miss World contest last night. Here she is with runners-up Miss Canada and Miss China:
For more on Miss Davison–the daughter of a famous songwriter I never heard of–see our post here; here are my favorite constestants.
China hasn't been a Communist country for a long time, if it ever was; I believe that its government consumes a smaller portion of its GDP than ours does. But China's hosting the Miss World pageant might be as good an occasion as any to mark the demise of any pretense of being a Communist state.

I stand around at american weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when i'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me
I was there when they took all the people
I was alone in a mental revine
You breathe life when you break the walls down
You breathe life when you set me free
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Why are my days so far from home?
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself?
Free thinking renegade social
Missed the moon, the man and now
In a slip stream of my poseferities?
I got the boat so we don't drown
These are the days that are split down the middle
No words to calm me down
Be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you out

Survival Gardening, Part I:
Got Food? Real Food?
by Michael Astera
Those who have not spent the last couple of years floating in an isolation tank are aware that the world economy is not doing very well and shows no sign of improving any time soon. Worldwide food shortages are likely in the coming years, and a shortage of money to buy food may be just as likely. Much has been written about storing food and garden seeds, but little has actually been written about growing high quality food in a survival situation. As this is written, in early 2009, it is still relatively easy to learn what is needed and to set one's self up to grow enough high-quality food that hunger and malnutrition need not be a concern. Whether that will be true a year from now is anyone's guess.
If one is going to grow food to feed one's self, one's family, or the animals one cares for, the sensible thing to do is to grow the most nutritious and highest quality food possible. If it is possible to grow two potatoes of the same size and weight, one of which will have five or ten times as much nutrition or food value as the other, which would you rather spend your time, money, and effort growing? Beyond growing food that is nutrient-dense, it is of even more importance to be able to grow food that contains all of the nutrients needed for robust health. In a "grow your own food or don't eat" situation one will not be able to rely upon vitamin and mineral supplements to fill in the gaps.
Dr. William Albrecht classified foods into two simple categories: "Go" foods, those that primarily provide energy, and "Grow" foods, those that give us the building blocks for strong healthy bodies. "Go" foods are simple carbohydrates and lipids: ordinary sugars, starches, and fats. These are relatively easy to find and easy to grow, as they are simple combinations of the air and water elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Plants make "Go" foods out of these elements using the energy from sunlight, the process known as photosynthesis. "Grow" foods are complex carbohydrates and fats, as well as proteins and vitamins. Plants require a much broader range of elements to make the "Grow" foods, either as part of the food nutrient itself, or as a necessary catalyst for making the nutrient.
An essential nutrient is one that we need to live, but that our bodies don't have the ability to make themselves. There are two or three essential fats (essential fatty acids), eight essential sugars (saccharides), and ten essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Vitamins are also essential nutrients; we must get them in our food as our body doesn't have the ability to synthesize them. Lack of any of these essentials will cause the body to use up whatever stores of them it has on hand, including breaking down and scavenging its own muscle, bone, and internal organs. The body will cannibalize itself to maintain life.
All of the minerals that the body uses are also essential; no one has yet shown that any living thing has the ability to make a mineral element. The human body needs at least thirty and possibly as many as ninety mineral elements for growth, repair, and to maintain full health. Just like the essential fats, sugars, amino acids and vitamins, lack of any needed mineral will force the body to use up its own stores and then start breaking down its own tissues to supply the missing element.
Common examples of the results of mineral deficiency are tooth decay and porous bones, osteoporosis. Bones and teeth are mostly made from the minerals Phosphorus and Calcium. Phosphorus is also needed to produce energy in the living cell, while Calcium transports sugars into the cell, the sugars that the cell burns for energy. Further, Calcium is also needed to buffer the pH of the blood, and to transmit nerve impulses.
It gets interesting here: Why does a diet high in refined sugars and starches cause tooth decay and osteoporosis? Mostly because the refined foods are lacking Calcium and Phosphorus. The body burns refined sugars and starches just fine, but it needs Phosphorus inside the cell to do so, and it needs Calcium to carry them in and out of the cell. Burning these refined carbs also creates acids that the body must neutralize with more Calcium. Because the body also excretes Calcium and Phosphorus every day, and needs a fresh supply every day, if there is not enough Calcium and Phosphorus in the diet, the body will start breaking down its own stores of those elements: the bones and the teeth. In theory, one could eat all of the white sugar one wanted with no ill effects on the teeth or bones if the diet contained enough Calcium and Phosphorus (along with a number of other minerals). Actually, many people do get enough Phosphorus in their diet, but lack a balancing source of Calcium. Calcium is alkaline, Phosphorus is acid. Look at the label on most carbonated soft drinks and you will see phosphoric acid as one of the ingredients. It's in there to give the drink a tang, a bite on the tongue. Problem is, this phosphoric acid needs to be neutralized in the body, and the element the body uses to do that job is Calcium, taken from the teeth and bones.
Getting back to the subject of growing food, we come up against a rather strange situation here. Anyone who has ever looked closely at a package of plant fertilizer will have seen three numbers on the package, such as 10-10-10. These numbers stand for the percentage of 1. Nitrogen, 2. phosphate (a form of Phosphorus), and 3. potash (a form of Potassium). Notice anything missing?
The body needs more Calcium than any other mineral element. Have you ever seen Calcium listed on a bag of garden fertilizer? Are there any gardeners out there who know how much Calcium is in that compost, manure, or mulch they are applying? Guess what: There isn't much.* Not nearly enough. Is there some sort of disconnect going on there? Are we trying to play a sonata without first checking to see if we have all the strings on our piano?
Here are a few other essential minerals you won't find listed on a fertilizer label: Iron, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Boron, Iodine, Selenium, Manganese, Chromium, Chlorine, Silicon, Molybdenum, Nickel, Sodium. And depending on who you are listening to, quite a few more.
If these are all essential mineral nutrients, and they are not in the fertilizer we are using on our gardens and fields, where are they supposed to come from?
The obvious answer is that they are supposed to come from the soil.
Those who plan to do more than grow some salad greens, who may be thinking about the necessity of feeding their family, would be wise to give some serious thought to the mineral content of whatever soil they think they may be growing food in. Right now most of us get our food from the grocery store, and the grocery stores bring it in from all over the country or all over the world. It may not be the best food, but a mineral deficiency in a potato grown in Idaho may be compensated for by the minerals one gets from broccoli grown in Mexico. If and when one is limited to food one grows themselves, if the minerals are not in the soil, the body will sooner or later start breaking down. The deficiencies will show up as lack of energy, lack of mental clarity, loose teeth, weak bones, bad hair (!!), and eventually disease and death. Starvation comes in different forms, and lack of any essential nutrient will cause the body to starve as surely as a complete lack of food will.
There is no mineral shortage on planet Earth; the problem is that the minerals aren't very evenly distributed. The solution to health and sustainable agriculture is simple: Take the needed minerals from the places that have high concentrations of them and put them on our farm and garden soils where they are lacking. All humans need the same essential nutrients, and our food plants will provide those nutrients to us if the minerals are available in the soil. We don't need doctors, nutritionists, drugs, or supplements nearly as much as we need balanced, mineralized soil. Soil fertility = minerals. Compost, organic matter, and soil biology are important, but they are of secondary importance. No amount of organic matter can make up for a mineral deficiency.
Over the next few weeks I will be going into some detail about growing highly nutritious food, and about the realities of growing enough high quality food to feed yourself and those you may be responsible for. The main focus will be on soil minerals, as that subject is not well covered by any other blogs that I am aware of, but we will also be talking about what to grow, where to grow, and how to grow real food.
Those who would like a bit of a head start on things are invited to my main web site, www.soilminerals.com where you will find a wealth of information on, you guessed it, soil minerals and health.
*Even a loose sandy loam requires at least 2,000 lbs of Calcium per acre for best growth. What if we measured the minerals and found that we needed to add 1,000 lbs of Calcium? How much compost would that take, at a typical 11 grams per 100 lbs (50kg)of fresh compost? I'll spare you the arithmetic: It would take about 4,000,000 lbs/acre (4,500,000kg/ha). Four million pounds of 75% moisture content compost per acre to add 1,000 lbs of Calcium. Wait, it gets worse: While we were adding that 1,000 lbs of Calcium we were also adding almost 4,000 lbs of Potassium, far too much. Well balanced soils need about 1/7th as much Potassium as Calcium, so this soil that needed 1,000 lbs of Calcium would call for about 280 lbs of Potassium per acre; we would be adding over 3,700 lbs too much, assuming that we were crazy enough to try adding four million pounds of compost anyway.

A Coleraine councillor has called for immediate action on a row of derelict homes in Captain Street.
DUP man Trevor Clarke described the well known Coleraine street as an 'eye sore' and has called for the owner of the properties to take action.
Councillor Clarke explained: "In 2014, Council took the decision to board up and secure the fronts of the properties at numbers 18 to 36, in the interest of public safety.
"I have to ask will this money ever be recouped by Council?
"I am aware that planning permission relating to the redevelopment of some of these properties lapsed back in May, I have asked Council to review the dereliction blighting the top end of Lower Captain Street with a view to taking action with these already dilapidated properties before they get any worse.
"There had been issues with anti social behaviour, and indeed earlier this year a fire was started in one of the vacant properties.
"I understand the developer feels the time is not right to proceed with their plans, but does that mean we have to sit back and watch until the condition of the area deteriorates?
"Sadly the whole street is in a very poor condition.
"I feel very sorry for those residents who still live in this street, which is historically important for Coleraine. Surely these residents have rights, health and safety rights, and should not have to live beside these buildings."
Cllr Clarke went on: "The Waterside area and indeed the lower part of the street is busy economically, I just wonder how much more vibrant it could be if something positive was done with the top end of the street."
In a statement, a spokesperson for Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council said: "Council can confirm it is aware of the concerns regarding the derelict properties on Captain Street.
"We are working on a resolve of this situation by establishing ownership and the planning context."

text: Les violences sexuelles et basées sur le genre dans la réponse humanitaire (en anglais) THÈMESVIOLENCE SEXUELLELES VIOLENCES SEXUELLES ET BASÉES SUR LE GENRE DANS LA RÉPONSE HUMANITAIRE Why does the risk of SGBV increase in an emergency? SGBV is present in communities before a crisis hits, but risks and vulnerability to SGBV increase during emergencies and their aftermath. This can be due to a number of factors, including the presence of armed forces or combatants; weakened legal systems and law enforcement; abuse of power by individuals in positions of authority, including in aid distribution; inadequate access to shelter, food, water and fuel; increased economic vulnerability; and the sudden breakdown of family and community structures after forced displacement. Certain groups in a population may be particularly at risk of SGBV: adolescent girls, female heads of household, children, older people, people with disabilities, and LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) people. SGBV may be perpetrated by anyone, including family members, armed groups, humanitarian actors, and individuals from host communities or refugee/IDP communities. Those in positions of authority (police, security officials, community leaders, teachers, employers, landlords, humanitarian workers) may abuse their power. Changed social and gender roles or responsibilities, as well as the stresses of displacement, can cause or exacerbate tensions within the household, resulting in domestic violence. Economic stress and insecurity can increase negative coping mechanisms, such as survival sex and early or forced marriage, and increase vulnerability to trafficking. During armed conflict, sexual violence may often be used as a weapon of war. What is the role of faith groups? Harmful social norms, often influenced and justified by religious beliefs, in relation to gender inequality are widely recognised as the key root causes of SGBV. Addressing these underlying factors is therefore vital for effective prevention. Faith leaders are key local opinion leaders, and faith groups are present even in remote, conflict-affected or displaced communities, which government and other agencies find hard to reach. In a crisis, churches and mosques often become places of refuge, and in practice faith leaders are often the first responders. Currently, lack of knowledge or capacity, taboos and harmful beliefs among these leaders can mean they are unable to engage positively in SGBV issues. In particular, they may be reluctant to discuss sexual issues, and may in fact contribute to or condone harmful beliefs. Lack of understanding also hampers many humanitarian agencies' engagement with faith groups, limiting effective coordinated prevention responses at community level. How should we respond to SGBV in an emergency? Preventing and responding to SGBV is life-saving, and is therefore a vital component of protection in humanitarian response. Programming should begin from the outset of an emergency, even without waiting for SGBV case data, as it is recognised that these issues are severely underreported. Emergency responses across all sectors should be designed to ensure prevention of SGBV, and all humanitarian staff should respect codes of conduct in prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. Direct SGBV interventions can focus on: providing access to appropriate medical and psychosocial support for survivors sharing key messages on safety for women and girls in the community supplying information on how to access available medical, legal, psychosocial services (referral pathways) prevention activities promoting gender equality addressing social stigma, which is a key barrier to survivors accessing services creating safe spaces for women to gather and discuss issues affecting them, establishing mechanisms where violence can be reported and addressed.

Cendant Acquires Trip Network
Cendant Corporation (NYSE:CD) today announced that it has acquired the common stock of Trip Network, Inc. (TNI) from an independent business trust. Terms were not disclosed and the amounts were not material to Cendant.Ê The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Company`s earnings.ÊÊÊ This transaction reflects Cendant`s previously announced strategy to simplify its accounting through the acquisition of affiliated companies and to provide its investors with transparent financial information.Ê
TNI is the fourth largest full service online travel agent behind Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz. Trip Network was established in March 2001 and began operating CheapTickets.com and Trip.com in October 2001 through licensing agreements with Cendant following the Company`s acquisitions of Cheap Tickets, Inc. and Galileo International, which owned Trip.com. Ê
Effective immediately, Trip Network will become part of Cendant`s Travel Distribution Services Division and operate as part of its Retail Travel Services business unit, which also operates Lodging.com and Cendant Travel, a call center-based travel agency with six customer centers in the United States. The addition of Trip Network`s 170 employees, consisting primarily of technology and product development personnel based in Denver, will add capacity and thereby help to facilitate Cendant`s future online penetration in key corporate and leisure markets around the world.
"We are delighted to welcome the Trip Network team to Cendant," said Sam E. Galeotos, president and chief executive officer of Galileo International and Cendant Travel Distribution Services.Ê "Cendant has assembled an impressive portfolio of travel distribution assets. The addition of Trip Network`s technology and its experienced team supports our efforts to grow our online business and strengthen Cendant`s position as one of the world`s leading providers of travel content and transaction processing services."
As part of the integration, Cendant will position Cheap Tickets as its primary consumer brand and phase out the Trip.com brand from the leisure travel market.Ê However, the Company plans to maintain Cendant`s collection of travel related Web sites under the Trip Network umbrella.Ê Additionally, Trip.com`s booking engine will remain as the backbone of the Company`s third party, private label Web site strategy.Ê
"Despite the progress Trip.com made in the last year, it is simply not feasible to continue operating two separate brands, especially in the current geopolitical environment," Galeotos said.Ê "Clearly, Cheap Tickets is the stronger consumer brand.Ê We believe we will be far more successful in putting Cendant`s resources behind our new Cheap Tickets Web site considering the investment needed to elevate Trip.com to Cheap Tickets` brand recognition and performance level."
The Cheap Tickets Web site enjoys 80 percent awareness among surveyed online travelers and has a loyal value-minded customer base of more than 26 million registered users.Ê In November 2002, Cheap Tickets released a new version of its Web site, built on the Trip Network platform and utilizing the Galileo global distribution system.Ê Since that time, Cheap Tickets has been increasing visitor traffic, gross bookings and unique purchasers each month.Ê As evidence of Cheap Tickets` continued growth, the site`s monthly unique visitors were nearly six million in February 2003, up 123 percent year over year, which was nearly double the growth rate of its nearest competitor, according to comScore.Ê Gross bookings and transactions for the same period outpaced visitor growth, up approximately 200 percent and 240 percent, respectively.

Wow when you say vintage you mean it, this dress is stunning. I was just out shopping for a graduation dress for my daughter and some of the dresses we saw had a lot of vintage looks to them, my daughter simply loves the older looking dresses too, very feminine, and although she had her heart set on blue when she saw the purple ones that is the color she decided to go with. This dress you showcase here with the gold embellishments is particularly spectacular looking, great attention to detail, must be fun to wear. Great vintage clothing blog, enjoyed.

Lingamfelter Ready For A Fight
By Greg L | 27 March 2007 | 31st HOD District, Virginia House | 14 Comments
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter has a tremendous fundraiser this evening, with about 115 people in attendance to welcome George Allen back to Prince William County. The event was emceed by Delegate Jackson Miller, and the speakers were Senator Jay O'Brien, George Allen, and House Speaker Bill Howell. If you are a "Reagan Conservative", this was an event that you should have attended. I understand that Lingamfelter added about $20,000 to his campaign account tonight — not a bad evening's work, even if it is your sixth fiftieth birthday.
It was great to see George Allen back in front of a crowd, speaking so passionately about conservative values, preserving our communities, our liberties and our prosperity. As always, George Allen is an upbeat, inspiring and positive speaker and that hasn't changed at all since his Senate race. Lingamfelter surprised Allen with a highway sign saying "Ronald Wilson Reagan Memorial Highway" which clearly moved him. After seeing that, I think about half the crowd wanted to find out how they could get one of these themselves.
I had a chance to talk with Speaker Howell and asked him where he thought the focus will be on House of Delegates races this year. He believes that the 34th (the seat being vacated by Vince Callahan) and 51st Districts will receive special attention from the House Caucus this year. I was also surprised to learn that the 46th District, now held by Brian Moran, may get some attention. This doesn't at all look like a Republican leadership on the defensive.
The tone of the evening could be summed up in Delegate Lingamfelter's closing line: "if you want a fight, you've come to the right place." Lingamfelter is ready and eager for this campaign, and is predicting that Republicans will pick up seats in both the House and the Senate this year. There's definitely a commitment to make that happen.

Yes indeed, my man George Allen is back.
Jonathan Mark said on 27 Mar 2007 at 11:52 pm:
Did you see Faisal Gill there?
Greg L said on 28 Mar 2007 at 12:00 am:
This was Scott Lingamfelter's night, and whether or not Faisal Gill attended is pretty much irrelevant to the evening and to this post. We'll have a chance to discuss Faisal on another thread soon. I promise.
Dude said on 28 Mar 2007 at 2:47 am:
Greg! What a total wuss-boy cop out! How can you consider yourself a serious blogger when you won't report a simple fact? Was Gill there or not? You regularly speculate, print rumor as fact, and sling mud at our party's own at the drop of a hat. Now you act like some demure prom king and beg off the simple fact question of whether or not Gill was there. How can you blast away with rumor and innuendo and chicken out on reporting something as basic as ths? Are you a total hypocrite when it comes to Faisal Gill? Or perhaps it just eats you up that the party powerbrokers, like Scott Lingamfelter, are supporting him. How dare you let Scott Lingamfelter off the hook after the crap you say about so many other people! What a disgrace. Be a man, you wuss, and tell us if Gill was there?
John Light said on 28 Mar 2007 at 7:49 am:
"Dude", were YOU there???? You call Greg a wuss yet YOU hide behind anonymity. This article is about Scott. You talk about Faisal's endorsements yet last time I checked Ms. Lucas ALSO has a list of POWERFUL endorsements by a good number of those in Richmond. So, "Dude", back off on the name calling and let Greg run HIS blog of which he does so well.
Personally, I think it shows what a REAL man Greg is by the fact that he published your temper-tantrum.
freedom said on 28 Mar 2007 at 7:56 am:
Amen, John L.!!!!
Chris said on 28 Mar 2007 at 8:23 am:
This is interesting.
What do you PWCers think, is Lingamfelter going statewide in '09?
asmith said on 28 Mar 2007 at 9:39 am:
Where exactly are you going to pick up seats Lingamfelter? If you buy the argument that the transportation plan helped JMDD, O'Brien, and Cooch, then Bulova, Marsden, Caputo, Poisson, and Paula Miller down in Norfolk will benefit. I think the line about the 46th was a head fake.
Unless a Democrat voted for the transportation plan the first go-round, the plan won't help them at all.
Chris said on 28 Mar 2007 at 2:24 pm:
asmith, your right about that here in NOVA–things should largely stand pat as they are right now, especially in Fairfax. JMDD, Cooch, and Jay should be in better position now; and nobody is challenging those delegates perhaps waiting for a gov race where coattails could bring them down in the right climate.
One of the reasons Shannon, Sickles, Bulova, Marsden, and Caputo voted for it were for the exact same political reasons as the Three. The only one of those five that is in trouble is Caputo, because the district is Republican leaning. And Caputo is the only one with a challenger, and a good one, in Marc Cadin.
CONVA said on 28 Mar 2007 at 4:22 pm:
I have been a supporter of Scott's since the first day he entered politics. From lit drops to getting signatures for his petitions to stuffing envelopes. I respect his votes Richmond but his support for Faisal Gill has lessened my enthusiasm of him. Time heals all ills, but this may take more time than I have left.
Dude said on 28 Mar 2007 at 11:35 pm:
John Light and Freedom - okay, maybe I shouldn't have called Greg a wuss (I actually like him after all), but given all the mud he slings and the attention he's given Faisal Gill, it seems like he suddenly lost his nerve on reporting the facts. No, I wasn't there, that's why I wanted to know the answer. I didn't necessarily expect Greg to put it in his post, but when he was asked a question in the comments, he could simply have said yes or no. Come to think of it, I was right the first time. He is being a wuss. He either doesn't want to get Scott Lingamfelter mad or doesn't want to let Faisal get credit for being at Scott's event. Either way, Greg is not being a REAL man. He's put himself out as a blogger that some of us conservatives look to for information and now he's copping out. Of course he can run HIS blog the way he wants, John L., but that doesn't mean he's not open to criticism on how he does it. Also, don't give me any stuff about anonymity with someone named "Freedom" saying "Amen" or tell me the article is about Scott when most of it is about George Allen and Greg's talk with Howell. Ah, the Gill race has brought out the best of our hypocrites.
Greg L said on 29 Mar 2007 at 12:00 am:
One of the things I try to do with comments is help ensure discussion stays relevant to the post. I've seen too many threads get hijacked here and elsewhere, and I'm not going to contribute to changing a discussion from what this is really about: Scott Lingamfelter's tremendous fundraiser with folks like George Allen and Speaker Howell.
Take solace in that I have not yet started to delete comments as is my usual practice in this regard, but I'm assuming that you just haven't been around long enough to get a feel for what I do here. I'm trying to be accommodating.
Scott is a compelling candidate, a terrific legislator, and someone who should someday be elevated to higher office when the time is right. With all of the power players who were in attendance the other night, one might be wondering what his future holds. It's far more compelling to evaluate whether this is a future Lieutenant Governor than whether a candidate in the midst of an implosion happened to attend or not. I'd like to see what readers think about Scott's chances might be for a future statewide run and what George Allen's political future might hold.
Perhaps some readers have some opinions on this?
John Light said on 3 Apr 2007 at 8:30 am:
Dude: "Also, don't give me any stuff about anonymity with someone named 'Freedom' saying 'Amen'".
Yes, I WILL give you stuff about anonymity every chance I get until you put your real name, i.e. Mike "Dude" Livesinparentsbaement or something like that. I have done it, why can't you???
While I don't know "Freedom", I will support his/her right to Amen me every chance they get
Greg L, if you want to know about George Allen, this is ALL he has to do. Run again. That's it. Oh yeah, hire someone who has a clue so that when the media attacks him over something he said he can stay on track and win - heck, look at President Bush - from what I have heard, his command of the English language is the butt of jokes in some circles - lol - and last time I checked, he won TWICE!!!!
Can Scott L. win state-wide - snowballs chance. Why? Well, besides his questionable associations, he is from NOVA. What does Scott, or ANY NOVA politician have to do to win state-wide? Make a difference state-wide, NOT come across as an elitist, and work TWICE as hard around the state to show that they really DO care about Virginians…REAL Virginians.
The median income in the state of Virginia is around $50k…just TRY living on that here - yet in places all over, be it Farmville, Hampton Roads, or even Scott county, THAT is a lot of money, or, as the locals might say, "That's good money." We need to be sincere to our fellow NATIVE Virginians (of which I am a member) AND be willing to reach out to them. Just my 2 cents which is worth less then the space this is written on.

Whitehill Childcare folder design
I was commissioned to create a Childcare Folder Design, and produce a low-cost short print run corporate folder for Whitehill Childcare Services in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
The folder design was to be used to hand out information to prospective parents looking to secure a place for their children.
Keeping the folder design simple and clean, I used paint splashes to introduce an element of fun, tying in with the messy art lessons enjoyed by the nursery children.
To keep the costs down as the client only required a short print run, these folders were digitally produced with a simple glued pocket to the inside back page.

VPN software has been in use for many years. In fact, this popular way of providing secure communication across the Internet is one of the first resources that came into heavy usage when people started telecommuting. VPN software allows the user to utilize the Internet as a means of providing a secure connection to a business server or another resource that needs to be kept unavailable to the public at large. If you started using VPN services for your work, you're probably familiar with starting up the VPN and then logging in on whatever application you need to be secured via the virtual private network. There's much more than this to a VPN, however.
Versus Anonymizer Software
There are quite a few programs out there that promise users anonymity online. Many of them are free. These services are generally bound to one particular program or another. For example, these programs sometimes anonymize your Internet surfing and require you to install a browser plug-in. The browser plug-in, however, only provides security when you're actually using your Internet browser. If you hook up to a networked resource using another type of connection - such as an application, an FTP server, an e-mail client, and so on - you don't have the anonymizing service.
VPN software is designed to route all of your Internet traffic through the secure tunnel. This means that any program you use, whether it's your e-mail client or your gaming platform, is routed through the VPN network. Of course, a VPN network is not ideal for all applications. What it's perfect for is any application that needs to have the communication it conducts with its server secured from prying eyes. This is why these programs are so popular with people who work from home.
To Use or Not to Use?
Because VPN software will work with any software you have installed on your computer, it's usually a question of whether or not you need security that dictates whether or not you use the VPN software. Some people demand complete and total privacy and, therefore, they use their virtual private network for any and all Internet communication in which they engage. Other people aren't quite so concerned about the security of some of their programs and only turn on the VPN when they're using specific applications or when they're communicating with specific servers. The choice is essentially up to you.
Make certain that you check any VPN services you're interested in for their bandwidth rates. If you're using an application or if you're downloading information from the server, you want to make certain that the transactions can be conducted in an acceptable amount of time. Free VPN software tends to be a bit slower than the commercial versions. If you want to pick up an account at a VPN service provider, make certain you let them know what you're using the service for so they can let you know whether or not they have a package that is more appropriate for your particular style of usage.
Michael Maxstead specializes in writing and advising people on VPN technologies. By visiting his website VPNreviewz.com you can learn about [http://vpnreviewz.com/hide-my-ass-review/]hidemyass and finding the best VPN provider for your situation.

If we'd had any sense, we'd have set our calendars to begin and end the year on an actual planetary/solar event, such as the equinox or the solstice. The new month would start then, the new ear would make sense, and, quite frankly, I'd do exactly the same amount of reveling. Which is to say, none at all.
But for those of you who are recovering from last night's escapades, I will, nonetheless wish you a happy New Year, and hope you are not subjected to the indignity of Hoppin' John as wrought by most cooks (no matter how tasty the recipe looks, no mater how simple and yummy the author claims it is, the stuff is not fit for human consumption).
I have made, and continue to make, no resolutions for the upcoming year. Planning is not my strong point, and my follow-through, weaker still. If you have made any, though, I wish you success with them, and with any other endeavors you may plan for this year – so long as they do not involve doing anybody else harm (although, if it involves publicly humiliating and/or removing from office a select group of politicians, I may have to ask for an invitation to come along and assist). Diet, exercise, spending more time with family… all nice options, and I'm sure somebody out there has come up with even more useful ideas for how to improve himself, and thus improve his life. For me, it's still WYSIWYG. Crazy, often grumpy, covered in cat hair and flour, I'll never get by on my looks or my charm, but at least I'm loved. That is, I am if biting my ear, shredding my furniture, and coughing up hairballs count as signs of affection.
The new year is supposed to be a time of reflection, of revelation, and of hope.
Good luck with that.

Markings:VMA-214 (Marine Attack Squdron), Kaneohe Bay, Hawai'i, 1962
Serial Number:142928
Design of the Skyhawk began in 1952 as a response to the increasing weight and decreasing performance of the early jet fighters. The Skyhawk was to be a lightweight, carrier based, nuclear capable, attack bomber for the U. S. Navy. The type's first flight was on June 22, 1954 and testing quickly resulted in Navy contracts for the A4D-1 and A4D-2 versions of the plane. The Skyhawk was redesignated as the A-4 in 1962 with the A4D-2 becoming the A-4B. Skyhawks were one of the main Navy and Marine strike aircraft during the Vietnam War and flew from every American carrier. Production of the Skyhawk ended in 1979, but A-4s continued to serve with the U. S. Navy in training roles until the early 1990s.

"Ever After" and "For Now" by Nick Cave
Photos by G. Art by Nick Cave.
The only thing better than a new exhibit from artist Nick Cave is 2 exhibits by Nick Cave. New York galleries Jack Shainman and Mary Boone are concurrently running exhbits by Nick Cave. At Jack Shainman Gallery, you'll see "Ever After" and at Mary Boone, you'll see "For Now." Nick Cave has made a name for himself by designing "soundsuits" made out of various materials. In these two exhibits, you'll see everything from hair to kazoos. You will also be wowed by the technique and the patience it must have taken to put these detailed outfits together.
"Ever After" shows at Jack Shainman Gallery (located at 513 West 20th Street) in Manhattan through October 8, 2011.
"For Now" shows at Mary Boone Gallery (located at 541 West 24th Street) in Manhattan through October 22, 2011.
See more photos as well as a picture of my encounter with Nick Cave after the jump.
Thanks again Nick! It was great chatting with you about your creative process!

I'm glad to see he has stayed busy since leaving The Bad Seeds.

These are some of the most frequently asked questions I get on my youtube channel. And here are the answers!
1. Am I Vegan or Intend to Become One?
No I am not and this will not change for the foreseeable future. This doesn't mean however that my diet is less sustainable or that i have not considered these things or tried going vegan. I am vegetarian have been for around 17 years. Within that time 2 years I was vegan. This was while I was living a more suburban lifestyle. At some point into my pregnancy with my son i had big egg cravings. I had promised myself not to be too restrictive during the pregnancy so began eating organic free range eggs.
Shortly after my son was born we moved to our 20 acre property to start building our permaculture food forest and living self-sufficiently. It had always been part of our permaculture design (as is very common in permaculture in general) to incorporate having some free range chickens to help us compost, fertilise the soil and act as tractors preparing the ground for planting. We now have 10 chickens to fulfil this function for us and we eat their eggs as well as give some to family and friends. The chickens primarily eat a diet of compost, bugs in the garden and food scraps. At the moment as we are just starting they do eat minimal grain but this will not be a long term thing as we build up more compost and will grow some sunflowers for them and ourselves to eat on our property. There are many other examples where chickens can live solely on compost. This is a system obviously only possible on a fairly small scale and not something massive commercial chicken operations could do. Therefore the arguments raised by the documentary Cowspiracy against the sustainability of animal products including eggs do still apply for the eggs you may buy at the grocery store. However our chickens exist outside this system. They make a great contribution to our sustainability. They are helping us to grow our own food rather than have to buy transported food that is probably grown less sustainably than ours (including organic food), they mean we do not have to own a fossil fuel burning tractor. They also convert compost and grass which are things we can't directly eat into high energy food. The compost still goes on the garden too but with added chicken manure.
From an ethical point of view I am content with my chickens. They were obtained from small local breeders and were extremely cheap because they were unwanted. They are random mixed breeds which collectors aren't interested in, they aren't the breeds bred for intensive egg laying and many of them were quite old when we got them. We view that we are providing them a loving forever home as part of our family. They will never be eaten, they have an enormous coop and can free range as they please on our huge property.
In terms of other animal products i never eat meat. I avoid dairy as much as possible both for ethical reasons and because it gives me asthma and chronic bronchitis. On occasion i will eat something with dairy or eggs not from our property if it is served to me outside of the home. I have found that making these compromises allows me to stick in the long term to a more sustainable and ethical diet. It is not perfect, however from my experience being vegan for 2 years and vegetarian for 15 i know what works for me and how far i'm prepared to push 'being weird and difficult' in the greater world around me. In the community in which i live i am extremely unusual and are surrounded by people who eat very large amounts of animal products. I only know personally 1 other vegetarian person in my 'real life' who does not live near me. My husband is an omnivore with no interest in changing however eats a 90% vegetarian diet as i do all the cooking at home. So having a diet different other others can be exhausting and given the other things i wish to devote my energy to how I eat is a happy medium for me that i can maintain for my whole life. Despite all this I fully support a vegan lifestyle and applaud those who can maintain it in the long term.
2. Am I Plastic Free?
No. I think some people have misunderstood what it is to be 'plastic free' in much the same way as 'zero waste' is perhaps a poor term to really describe what the lifestyle is about. Plastic free lifestyles generally involve avoiding all disposable plastic items and when purchasing new items getting things made from other materials as much as possible. It does not involve avoiding all plastic completely in life. This is impossible unfortunately in our present day world as there is plastic in everything from mobile phones to the bus seat you sit on to toilet roll holders. It is also completely counter productive to throw (including recycling since it is downgrading) plastic items away just to replace things with non-plastic equivalents. I still have plenty of plastic in my life from things i have owned for many years and will continue to use as long as possible. When these items are at the end of their lifespan i will look at other options however I also do not have an unlimited budget to buy some of the higher end plastic free options that may be the only alternatives available. I will do what i can with this and certainly avoid single use plastic as much as possible but I have limits including my location (in Australia) where not all products are available or environmentally friendly to transport items to.
One area that i probably don't do so well plastic wise is my clothing. I buy almost all our clothes 2nd hand. Unfortunately this means that we have less options to choose from and by far the majority of items available have a synthetic fabric component. Buying 2nd hand makes a significant contribution to reducing the environmental and social impact of producing new clothing however synthetics do produce microfibres of plastic that can contaminate waterways when they are washed. So this is a bit of no win situation as the alternative would be to throw away the clothing (or donate) in which they are either not out of the system or in landfill and create a negative impact by replacing everything with new natural fibre clothes. I can't afford a whole new, organic natural fibre wardrobe for myself and my whole family so we are sitting tight on this one and waiting for the technology to be available to capture the fibres with filters.
3. Am I Zero Waste?
No. And i'm not even close to many of the bloggers you might also read who can get their trash into a single mason jar. We are on a journey and ours is perhaps a bit different to many who live in a city. We do the best we can with buying food in bulk for example and purchasing biodegradable options for household items where we can. However the primary means we are working to reduce our waste is using permaculture and become self sufficient on our 20 acres. This is a long slow process, but a very rewarding one so stay tuned.
4. Do I Count My Items as a Minimalist?
No. I have had varying phases in my life as as a minimalist. There was a time that i had only a bicycle and clothing that fit into a backpack and bike panniers. At that point in time i didn't even know what minimalism was! Today our home may not look all that minimalist and the challenge particularly comes from things associated with gardening and building on our property. 'Homesteading' or permaculture is difficult to truely meld with minimalism as you really do need to keep quite a few 'in case' items to run a property affordably. Thus the compromise since we moved here as been to try and keep the house more minimal and the shed where we keep our tools not so much. Another reason we might look less minimalist is that our house is relatively small. We had a lot more open space when we rented a larger home and now we have put the same stuff into a smaller space it is less so. Regularly i will go through my stuff and donate anything i think we don't need. I imagine this will be an ongoing process especially since we have a child who grows and changes so quickly.
5. How can We Afford to Live Rurally?
My husband and I have a long term goal of true financial independence. We are far from this point however have got ourselves into a very secure financial position in our early 30s. This was done through hard saving, living below our means and earning good money during the mining boom in Australia. We paid for our home over about a 3 year period with 2 years saving for a deposit and 1 year paying off our small mortgage. We made some very calculated decisions about the property we purchased with helped. Living a minimalist lifestyle made us realise we didn't need a big house. It is 3 bedrooms which is more than enough. We also chose a location that is 1 hr from a major capital city where we could theoretically work if need be by commuting. We are also 20 minutes to a smaller city where my husband currently works. Living rurally property is significantly cheaper so you don't need to earn as much money, especially since we are completely debt free. Once we are growing all our own food it will get even cheaper. We made sure when we picked a location to live that it had internet access. This was for our own use but could also be a means to work from home online in the future. My advice for anyone wanting to live rurally and concerned about being able to afford it is to make sure it is within a reasonable distance to somewhere you can have a regular job. Homesteading woudl be much more stressful if you have the added pressure of needing to make an income from it right from the beginning or to fully cover your needs to reduce all your expenses. Building up a property to be self-sufficient is also quite expensive so we are glad to have a regular income coming in.
6. What debts did we pay off to become debt free?
Our mortgage which we paid in 1 year. I had a student loan with the Australian government that is also paid off. We are lucky that student loans in Australia do not accrue interest and can be paid off slowly once you earn over a certain threshold. So i paid mine when i have a job and it was automatically deducted from my income so i barely noticed it. We have never had any credit card debts, car loans or any other kind of debts in our lives and will never going forward.
7. How do I afford Studying for a PhD?
Again i'm lucky in Australia PhDs for Australian do not cost. In fact i was paid in part to do mine as it was industry based and like a job producing a service for a company that required my work. There have been several years during my studies i haven't been paid or on a scholarship and I afforded these by doing short-term consulting contracts and living off my savings.
8. How do I affording being a Stay at Home Mom?
I received about 3 months paid leave when i had my son. After that i was not paid and we live solely on my husband's income. I will go back to some kind of work in the future once my PhD is completed. We are able to comfortably live on just the one wage by cutting our expenses however since we have big goals for financial independence it is in our interest to have a 2nd wage in the future coming in. At present we save about 30% of our income for our future but this is a struggle as it doesn't leave much else for other projects we'd like to do on our property.

BJP, Sack Advani or Perish
P. Deivamuthu
(Editorial in Hindu Voice, June 2013)
(Editorial in Hindu Voice, June 2013)
Email: email@example.com
The Karnataka election results have come as a rude shock for all Nationalists. The people of Karnataka have not only given a clear majority to the corrupt Congress, but have given a good thrashing for the BJP.
In recent months, the BJP has been losing one state after another. After Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Himachal Pradesh, it has now lost its only bastion in the South.
Unfortunately no head is rolling for this humiliating defeat. In fact, the people responsible for the defeat are the ones who are analysing the defeat. Naturally, they will try and hide their faults and pass on the bucks to others.
Unfortunately no head is rolling for this humiliating defeat. In fact, the people responsible for the defeat are the ones who are analysing the defeat. Naturally, they will try and hide their faults and pass on the bucks to others.
The entire blame for the state of affairs in BJP, including for the defeat in Karnataka, must fall on Mr. L.K. Advani. His ambition to become the Prime Minister, echoed now and then by his cronies, is costing the party (and the nation too) heavily. Unless Mr. Advani is sacked by the BJP, there is no hope for the party in the 2014 parliamentary elections.
His statement that people are disillusioned with both the Congress and the BJP is to confuse the people and to hide his misdeeds. People are not disillusioned with the BJP, but definitely with him as the captain of the party. The captain is admitting defeat before the war begins? He is trying to demoralise the otherwise enthusiastic party workers. With such a captain, can the war be won?
His recent blog that the Karnataka results were not surprising is a cunning way to escape from responsibility. He is trying to neutralise the effect of the defeat which is of his own doing. In Karnataka, Mr. Yeddyurappa should have been reinstated as the CM, once the High Court cleared him. But Mr. Advani wanted to force his yes-man, Ananth Kumar, as the CM of Karnataka, against the wishes of the people. It is the arrogant and vengeance attitude of Mr. Advani against Yeddyurappa that cost Karnataka.
No doubt Advani revived BJP and brought it to the centre stage by winning 89 seats in the 1989 parliamentary elections, against the 2 seats it held in 1984. However, for this purpose, he hijacked the Ramjanmabhoomi movement spearheaded by the VHP, by taking out a Rath Yathra. There was neither sincerity of purpose nor commitment to the cause. It was just to exploit Hindu sentiments. And he succeeded in taking the Hindus for a ride. The Hindu wave catapulted BJP to power at the centre in 1998 and again in 1999.
After coming to power on the Hindutva wave, he (& Vajpayee) did nothing for the Hindus. No effort worth the name was made to hand over the Ramjanmabhoomi to Hindus by enacting a law. The reason given was that it was a NDA govt. and not of BJP. What prevented some of the BJP MPs from bringing in a private member bill for this purpose, and in the process letting the government fall, instead of declaring election 6 months in advance in 2004. The fact was that there was no Will in Vajpayee Advani & Co. to respect Hindu sentiments. All they were aiming was to get Nobel Peace Prize, neglecting their constituency and Hindutva.
Even during the 2009 parliamentary elections, Advani put a moratorium on taking up issues concerning Hindus. The arrest of Varun Gandhi by Mayavati for his alleged inflammatory speech (now set aside by the court) came handy for Advani. Thus, in a way, he paved the way for UPA-II.
Mr. Advani has given up Hindutva and has joined the secular gang, to be acceptable to his NDA allies. Reliable sources inform me that he has personally confirmed that without compromising on ideology, it is impossible to attain power. And his recent talks too very much confirm this.
For the release of the Urdu version of his book "My country, My life" Advani invited Rashtriya Sahara editor Aziz Burney, who is a known Hindu hater and who blamed RSS for 26/11.
When Dr. Manmohan Singh said (in Dec. 2006) that minorities should have the first claim on our resources, Mr. Advani, as the opposition leader, should have pounced on the PM for dividing the people on religious line. The PM should have been hauled up before the court for violating the constitution. But Advani acquiesced. This has emboldended the PM to announce many more privileges for the minorities at the cost of Hindus, and even subverting the constitution.

This has emboldended the PM to announce many more privileges for the minorities at the cost of Hindus, and even subverting the constitution.
The UPA Govt. has given so many issues on a platter. But the BJP under Advani, refuses to grasp them. Why can't they learn some lessons from Dr. Subramanian Swamy? Hence one tends to believe the rumour that Sonia is blackmailing Advani.
During his Jan Chetna Yatra in 2011, two more dangerous issues - the Communal Violence Bill and the Interlocutors Report on J&K - were in the public domain. RSS instructed the entire Sangh parivar to educate the people on these matters. But Advani never bothered to talk about these two issues during his Yatra. He talked only about corruption. That shows his 'commitment' to National/Hindu causes.
Mr. Advani needs to explain how Delhi, a cosmopolitan city and the citadel of Jan Sangh, slipped out of the hands of BJP. Why did the people of Delhi continuously reject BJP? Who is responsible for this? Even Mumbai, which once gave all six MP seats to BJP, has completely rejected the party. Is it not a rejection of Advani's captaincy?
Mr. Advani, during his long innings in the BJP, has appointed his yes-men in all important positions. One can oppose him only at his own peril. Look at what has happened to the Treasurer of the Karnataka BJP, Lehar Singh Siroya, who has been sacked for questioning Mr. Advani.
History is repeating. Nehru was blindly supported by congressmen, and he took the nation towards doom. Similarly, Advani is taking the party towards destruction, and sincere party workers are afraid of questioning him.
When a demand was made for his resignation from the post of opposition leader, he cunningly created another post for himself, as Chairman of the Parliamentary Party.
Mr. Advani should remember that he has lost credibility among the people. He is disliked by the people of this nation. Hence he should stop playing partisan politics by instigating his cronies. He should give up his ambition of PMship, and support Narendra Modi as the BJP's PM candidate. This is in the interest of the party as well as the nation.
Former RSS Chief, late Shri K.C. Sudarshan did advise him to retire, but Advani did not care. There is no one in the BJP today (not even in RSS), who can say this openly due to his seniority, although all do agree. It is therefore incumbent upon all BJP workers and Hindus to revolt against him and demand his sacking, so as to save BJP from further decimation. Otherwise, he will be paving the way for UPA-III and this Hindu Nation will be doomed for ever.
Today, BJP is the only nationalist party which can save the nation from the corrupt and anti-national Congress. But it is imperative that BJP is cleansed of selfish and disgruntled elements - like Advani - first, who are putting self before the party and the nation.

Special Request Soul Music
There's something undeniably timely about the release of the breakbeat-driven, pirate-radio-inspired debut album from Paul Woolford's Special Request alias. After all, talk of jungle increasingly seems to be on everyone's lips these days, and the dance-music world has recently seen a series of critically acclaimed albums with sonic touchstones firmly entrenched in the era of classic rave and jungle, such as Lee Gamble's Diversions 1994-1996 and Zomby's With Love. Furthermore, the Special Request 12"s that Woolford has diligently released over the last year have been some of the most striking contemporary engagements with that halcyon era, infusing the music's rhythmic backbone with elements of techno while incorporating the sonic grit of pirate radio. That said, Soul Music doesn't feel like an elegiac tribute to a lost era; rather, it's a call to reinstate jungle as a viable force in big-room club music.
Listening to Soul Music, one is immediately aware of its sizable low end. Woolford cunningly injects his junglist sub-bass with a straight-on robustness that evokes the techno-leaning productions of his own past. This lends tracks like "Body Armour"—with its pulsating kicks and elusive synths—a sense of tension and release that's completely foreign to jungle, but no less effective here. Equally impressive are the uncompromising breakbeats that Woolford has strewn over much of the record, such as "Ride VIP"'s scattered and time-stretched drum & bass, or "Broken Dreams"' heavily EQ'd assault. Similarly, the aptly named "Deranged" twists its tunnel-vision breaks through some seismically heavy bass, and by pairing them with the tune's clipped and warped vocals, Woolford takes the track into the headiest realms of junglist bass science. For all of Soul Music's bass muscle though, there's a charming messiness to much of the album, which recalls Woolford's stated aim of evoking the feeling and sensibility of pirate radio. Opening track "Forbidden" is one of the album's least dancefloor-oriented tracks, but also one of its strongest, as it hints at a gauzy, nostalgia-steeped side to Woolford's Special Request project. Using a string line that evokes the likes of Orbital, The Orb, or Future Sound of London, the track pairs rumbling low end with loose breakbeats, giving the whole thing a shimmering, barely there quality. Elsewhere, there's a far-away feeling to much of the LP, as tunes emerge from fuzz and static, only to fade back into the murk, as though a transmission is being lost. The pirate-radio aesthetic even stretches to a number of voice breaks on Soul Music, where an MC urges the crowd to get off the stage so they'll stop jumping the records; it's an amusing touch, albeit one that's maybe a bit heavy-handed.
Soul Music is a massive collection of tracks; in addition to the 12-track, hour-long album proper, the CD version comes packaged with an additional 11-track bonus disk, featuring nearly 80 minutes of music in the form of previously released Special Request tracks, as well as remixes from the likes of Anthony Naples, Kassem Mosse, Anthony "Shake" Shakir, and Lee Gamble. There's even Woolford's remix of Lana del Rey's "Ride," which continues the venerable UK hardcore tradition of flipping pop vocals and infuses the track with rolling breakbeats, resulting in a tune that oozes psycho-sexual tension. Many of the previously released Special Request tracks on the bonus disc follow a similar template to the album, most notably on the evocative, breaks-driven techno of "Mindwash." It's the remixes of Woolford's tracks by others that are the true gems of the second disc though. Anthony Naples roughs up "Mindwash" considerably, and his scruffy, scuffed version of the track arguably hues closer to the haphazard spirit of jungle than the original, while Anthony "Shake" Shakir's version of the same track dispenses with breakbeats altogether to offer up an elegantly assembled slice of 4/4 techno. Lee Gamble's remix of "Capsules," on the other hand, is an almost beatless track, and by retaining only the original's mournful strings, vocal samples, and occasional deep bass notes, it presents a deconstructed, oceanic version of jungle not dissimilar to that found on his Diversions LP.
If there's any complaint to be made about Soul Music, it's that it falls into a trap very similar to that of Zomby's recent With Love album; simply, there's just a huge amount of music to wade through here. And while it may be eloquently and compellingly conceptualized, this doesn't make nearly two-and-a-half hours of very similar-sounding music easy to listen to in one sitting. In just about every other respect however, Soul Music is a success. Spurred by excellent, challenging production, the record maintains an adequate sonic distance from its inspirations, and the bonus disc's excellent selection of remixes fosters a dialogue between jungle, house, and techno's past and present.

A Flesh-and-blood Biography of the Virgin MotherBook - 2004
Arguably the most influential of all women throughout history, Mary, the Virgin Mother is also, paradoxically, the least known. In this unprecedented brilliantly wrought biography, Mary comes believably to life.
We are so used to the legendary image of the Madonna that the very idea of her as a real person sets the eyes alight. Starting with the dark-skinned, hard-muscled girl barely out of adolescence when she gave birth, Lesley Hazleton weaves together the many facets of Mary's existence: peasant villager, wise woman and healer, activist, mother, teacher, and yes, virgin, though in a sense we have long forgotten. She follows her through the worst any mother can experience-the excruciating death of her child-and then looks at how she transforms grief into wisdom, disaster into renewal. Strong and courageous, the source of her son's powers of healing and wisdom, the Mary we see here did not merely assent to her role in history, but actively chose it, and lived it to the fullest.
As a former psychologist and political reporter with deep roots in both Judaism and Catholicism, Hazleton has drawn on years of Middle East experience as well as on anthropology, history, theology, and above all, empathy to reconstruct Mary's life. The woman she discovers is neither demystified nor diminished, but on the contrary, all the more meaningful and admirable. By honoring her reality, Hazleton has given her back to herself-and to us.
