What's New in the 2017 AP Stylebook
Changes in the Photo Section, Including Style for Caption Signoffs and Handout Photos
There are changes in the photo section of the 2017 AP Stylebook. The changes apply to caption signoffs for photos not taken by AP staff or freelance photographers. The Stylebook also updated their policy on handout photos, with new byline titles and updated language in the instructions field.
The caption signoff for photos from an AP staff or freelance photographer differ from all other photos. The signoff for these other photos is in parenthesis, the photographer's name followed by a slash, then the source followed by "via AP." An example of this is (Brian Gottesman/The New York Times via AP).
The AP has two types of byline titles for handout photos, HOGP and HONS. A HOGP byline title is given to a handout photo when it is determined the picture is produced by a government body. A Hons byline is given when the photo is obtained for approved, story-specific use only. This includes family photos and editorial publicity photos that accompany stories about products, movies, books etc.
When a handout photo is given the HOGP byline, the following language should be added to the instructions field:
AP provides access to this publicity distributed handout photo provided by . Mandatory credit.
When a photo is determined as a part of the HONS category, the following language should be used:
AP provides access to this handout photo to be used solely to illustrate news reporting or commentary on the facts or events depicted in this image. This image many only be used for 14 days from the time of transmission; No Archiving; No Licensing. Mandatory credit.

Greene 55, Whitney Point 31
GREENE Greene gets a much-anticipated rematch in the Class B playoffs with Chenango Valley this Saturday after blowing out Whitney Point in its first-round playoff game Wednesday night.
Barb Borst had nine points in the first quarter and led the Trojans with 15. Utilizing a full-court press, Greene (19-2) jumped out to a 34-12 halftime advantage. They were running the clock down on every offensive possession, said Greene coach Bill Case. We went to the press to speed the game out, and it worked out pretty well.
Borst not only led Greene in scoring, she was assigned Whitney Points top scorer Amanda Materski on defense. Borst held Materski scoreless through three periods when reserves made their entry.
Lizzy Buhl added 10 points in the win, while Liz Wentlent picked up eight points, five assists, and three steals.
WPt.: A. Ford, 1 2-2-4; Keep, 0; Materski, 2 2-2-6; M. Ross, 2 0-0-5; K. Theleman, 2 0-0-4; K. Ticknor, 2 2-2-6; Valachovic, 2 0-0-4; Chardester, 1 0-0-2. Totals: 12 6-6-31.

Serbia coach Milovan Djorić is predicting two things for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship that begins on 3 May – that his nation will prove great hosts and that the team can thrive in a difficult group.
After two years of preparations, on and off the pitch, Serbia kick off their Group A campaign against Denmark in Novi Sad before facing former champions France and holders England in Indjija. Former FK Crvena zvezda player Djorić knows it is a tough prospect if Serbia are to make the U17 semi-finals for the first time.
"France and England are two top European teams, we are hosts and also a good team, and the circle was completed with Denmark," Djorić told UEFA.com. "For sure, the competition to finish in the top two and three, to reach the semi-finals and qualify for the FIFA [U-17] World Cup, will be much greater than in Group B. But I cannot be dissatisfied. The eight finalists are always the best teams and their qualities deserve respect."
England and France both have a formidable record at this level. "We played against France in a friendly during 2010 [losing 2-1]," Djorić said. "They are very, very physically strong and a well-prepared team, with all the other technical characteristics of the French football school.
"Meanwhile England eliminated Spain – from my point of view, one of the biggest candidates for the European and world titles. And they deserved that, they were better than Spain. Also, even though we are speaking about a new generation, England are holders and that means more than a little."
Before those assignments, though, comes Denmark. "That will be our first game, the match for which we have prepared for more than a year," Djorić said. "We can do so many good things in Novi Sad on 3 May – win, take three points, stop Denmark, secure a place in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico and move close to the semi-finals. A match like that will be full of chances and I expect we will take each of them."
Since the draw earlier this month, Serbia have beaten Group B contenders Germany 1-0 and also overcome Slovenia 2-1. Looking at his side, Djorić said: "They want everything, but sometimes their young ages can be the strongest opponents. But I am an optimist and I am delighted with our work over the last 18 months. Their passion for the national shirt is the most important thing and Serbian football can count on this squad."
However the team do, though, Djorić added: "We really have worked so hard on a brilliant organisation and I believe that everybody will enjoy it in Serbia, this is very important for us and I deeply believe in that."

How, When and Where…
One of the best threads ever on SYBD's old forum was the "How, When and Where Were You Dumped?" discussion. It was a long-running-thread where people told their personal stories of being deserted in random locations*: like supermarkets, planes, in cars, in bed, on the sofa, in restaurants, in car parks, in the bath tub – the list goes on and on…(*That's when they were actually dumped in person).
So I decided to start the conversation here on the SYBD blog. Now the comments have exceeded 500. Not too bad. Or, well maybe it is, depending on how you look at it! 😉
Before we get to your stories – let's look at some other factors at play, like fo instance, timing. Also, in this day and age, the methods used to end a relationship (NOTE: this has changed since we launched in 2000 – with the advent of new technologies and social media).
Breakup Timing
People the world over have been left at random times, such as, on their birthday, over the holidays such as the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's period, when pregnant, during their exams, on vacation, in the hospital, or on the oh-so-beloved St Valentine's Day.
Methods for Dumping
Over the years I've read stories where site members were dumped on over the phone, by text, by email, over instant messages, on Post-Its (yes even before Sex and the City ever wrote that into their story line, it was on here on our forum,…) one young girl was even dumped by her ex's mother!
No ways are good ways but arguably one of the worst is…
Dissed by Disappearance
Some people don't even get the courtesy of a "goodbye" from their former honey – the person just sort of, vanishes. Now called "ghosting".
That is not a pleasant experience at all. It leaves the one being left with so many unanswered questions. I reckon it could be one of the worst ways of being left. I'm not sure. All ways sort of suck.
That forum thread, and now this blog post, serve as proof of how universally-bad people are when exiting their relationships. Gay, straight, young, old, across this entire globe of ours – it doesn't seem to matter – we've seen people getting it all oh-so-wrong.
No Good Way to Say "Goodbye"
I've been dumped over the phone (trans-Atlantic call), in bed, and my husband dumped me face-to-face at the front door as soon as I'd walked in from work one Sunday night (when I had a friend visiting from Australia).
Priceless timing.
Personally, I've been on both sides of the dumping. I've learned there are no truly good ways to dump anyone. There are only less bad ways. Even I, who is arguably somewhat of an "expert" on this subject, haven't always done it the "right" way (if there is such a thing).
In the past, I've said cheerio over the phone, in emails (once right before Valentine's Day! Oops), and in person too.
So nope, the fact is when it comes to leaving – no one I've met yet is an "expert" at doing it well.
There is always an element of pain in any parting. That's why it's so hard to say goodbye, and why so many people get it so terribly wrong.
Wrong times. Wrong places. Wrong methods.
Share Your Story
So today's blog post is for you – how when and where have YOU dumped or been dumped? Tell us your story.
It'd be good if you have some examples of how you or your ex got it "right" when saying "goodbye".
Maybe there is something that can be learned from all these so-called "wrongs".
Someday I'll add it to my chapter on 'Getting Goodbye Right'…
Thanks for your input lovelies! xo
If you want, if you have something to say to your ex, you can say it here now.

Christmas break has afforded me the pleasure of picking through the best of the best in 2015's new southern gospel releases. I was able to review some of the albums these songs come from within a reasonable period of the time they came out, but alas, not all. Looking on the bright side, this meant I got to discover some great songs for the first time just as I was preparing this top ten list.
As usual, I have avoided including covers and traditional hymns, focusing on the best material that was brand new to 2015. Thankfully, many talented writers turned in some of their best work this year, including a new talent named Rachel McCutcheon. She co-wrote three out of ten of these songs, the highest single percentage of any contributing writer on this list. Other "double-dippers" include Kenna Turner West and Tony Wood. Most people probably wouldn't recognize Tony by name, but I learned a lot about the craft of CCM songwriting from him growing up, especially through the songs he wrote with Scott Krippayne back in the 90s. I'm glad to see that he's found an avenue through which he can continue to turn out songs.
Below the fold, I'll provide a countdown of the songs with some bits of lyric and comments, then at the end, a playlist for your listening pleasure. Thanks to all the talented artists and writers who reminded me why I keep coming back to this music!

ECPA 2014 Christian Book Award Finalist!
When Iola Anne Poole, an old-timer on Hatteras Island, passes away in her bed at ninety-one, the struggling young mother in her rental cottage, Tandi Jo Reese, finds herself charged with the task of cleaning out Iola's rambling Victorian house.
Running from a messy, dangerous past, Tandi never expects to find more than a temporary hiding place within Iola's walls, but everything changes with the discovery of eighty-one carefully decorated prayer boxes, one for each year, spanning from Iola's youth to her last days. Hidden in the boxes is the story of a lifetime, written on random bits of paper—the hopes and wishes, fears and thoughts of an unassuming but complex woman passing through the seasons of an extraordinary, unsung life filled with journeys of faith, observations on love, and one final lesson that could change everything for Tandi.

Above: White couple beaten by Black mob in Missouri – national media silent
by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News
Many of you have probably heard of the "Knockout Game", wherein Black males assault innocent White or Asian passersby on the street, sometimes as a part of gang initiations. But it is rare that such assaults are caught in detail, and on high-quality video. But that has happened in a video released today.
Below is a video of a White couple getting attacked by a group of six Black men, who quietly come up behind them and then lash out in a violent assault – throwing around, punching, kicking, and stomping on the White male during the unprovoked attack.
Luckily, the male victim holds his own well against the six attackers, and puts a few of them on the ground before they eventually run away when police arrive and chase the thugs off camera. No arrests have yet been made, and Springfield, MO Police are asking the public for help in identifying suspects involved in an assault.

Facebook has been accused of encouraging online bullying by allowing users to post anonymous comments about other members of the site.
By installing the Honesty Box application, members of the social-networking site can send and receive untraceable messages to other users.
Campaigners have launched a petition to have the application removed from the website, claiming that it promotes cyber bullying and could lead to children become depressed or even suicidal.
One protestor, Richard Rubin, the founder of the ReallyWorried.com website, has written an open letter to Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, asking him to delete the program. He says he knows a child who was left "distraught" after being subjected to cyber-bullying through Honesty Box.
"The Honesty Box application on your website is providing cyber-bullies an opportunity to prey on their victims anonymously," writes Rubin. "As CEO and founder of Facebook, it is your duty to remove it."
It seems that some Facebook users have experienced hurtful comments and even death threats through the Honesty Box application.
The controversy surrounding the program has divided opinion on the social-networking site, with many protest groups springing up online both to condemn and defend the application.
On one group protesting against Honesty Box, the moderator writes: "Come on people. It is cowardly and rude for you to ruin someone's day without them even knowing who it is who ruined it. Say it to their face or not at all."
As Honesty Box fans have pointed out, installing the application is entirely voluntary. People who are concerned about the possibility of cyber bullying should avoid installing the application in the first place, and those who receive insulting messages can remove the application from their user profile, and therefore take away the ability for other users to leave anonymous comments.
The NSPCC has warned that online bullying can affect children's mental well-being. "Cyber bullying can happen in school and outside school," said Simon Jones, a policy and public affairs manager for the NSPCC.
"A young person could be at home and see a text or internet comments coming through and feel isolated, so it's important we ensure young people are aware that they don't have to handle this situation on their own." The Honesty Box application is the work of a third-party developer rather than Facebook itself. However, Facebook says it does not condone cyber bullying.
"When users register on our site, they agree to our Terms of Use, which state that they cannot 'intimidate or harass' another," said a spokesperson for the social-networking site.
"We will disable accounts that are found to be intimidating others in any way."

Libertyville High turning to sun for energy
A solar-power project at Libertyville High School could expand if officials land the necessary funding.
Photovoltaic equipment that helps collect the sun's rays and turn them into usable electricity recently was added to the roof of the school as part of the science curriculum, District 128 board President Pat Groody said. A grant paid for the installation.
Officials now are considering applying for a new, larger grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation that would help fund the purchase of more extensive network of solar cells at Libertyville High and at sister school Vernon Hills High, officials said. The equipment could be connected to the schools' electrical system.
That way, the equipment would help teach kids about clean energy and save the district some money by lowering energy costs, officials said.
For Libertyville-Vernon Hills Area High School District 128 board member Jim Batson, the educational opportunities trump the potential financial savings -- particularly in light of the national effort to push kids into scientific and technological careers.
"The real value here is in the learning environment and letting students see these in action," said Batson, who leads the board's facilities committee.
"The younger we get them started, the more likely it is they'll see that as a potential career option," Batson added.
The school board will discuss the project Monday when it meets at Vernon Hills High, 145 N. Lakeview Parkway. The session starts at 7 p.m.
Board member Karin Lundstedt wants to make sure the project is cost effective before moving forward. Regardless, she said she's excited about the proposal.
"It's something definitely worth pursuing, and I'm anxious to hear more," Lundstedt said.
A few other suburban schools have solar arrays.
Solar panels were installed at Stevenson High in 2008 to generate power for an environmental-science room.
Solar panels were installed on Streamwood High School's roof in 2012. In the first two months of use, the array produced enough energy to power 11 houses for one day and saved the school about $35 in electricity costs, officials said at the time.
Libertyville's Highland Middle School, Elgin Academy and Dundee-Crown High School in Carpentersville have solar equipment, too.

Local experimental label Orange Milk Records hits your computer screen with a baseball bat
By W.C. Ruffnel
The experimental nature of music is often largely misunderstood – most people assume something labeled as such is extreme or unlistenable. When one might take into consideration the fact that the psychedelic era of the Beatles was at the time considered the pinnacle of experimentation, it seems less frightening. Those good-natured-and-drugged Brits turned 'weird' into pop-culture, but it still remains a vital and integral part of the musical underground. Some folks from Dayton are doing their best to propagate this – Keith Rankin of local prog-rock group Yakuza Heart Attack and experimental-rock-provocateur Seth Graham have joined forces to create an outlet for music that might not be hitting corporate radio anytime soon, but with any luck it'll be on a Super Bowl commercial.
Who, when, why, was Orange Milk started?
It was started by me and Seth Graham at the end of 2010. The goal was to highlight music we both loved and to get our own stuff out there. It started out pretty modestly.
Where does the name Orange Milk come from – am I to imagine bloody milk?
I like when names inform projects, it gives things a loose conceptual framework that can actually be liberating. Orange Milk was just in my head and I couldn't get rid of it, so why fight it? I realized later that it probably came from staring at the Clockwork Orange soundtrack cover for a long time. It's meant to dispel with some of the grave and serious auras some experimental labels have adopted in the past.
Does Orange Milk have a specific 'sound' or common aesthetic in the majority of releases?
We love early electronic music and it's continuing legacy, outsider music, synthesizer or cosmic stuff, drone, ambient, folk — really, genre isn't that important anymore. I think what's exciting about new music is the effortless meshing of styles. It isn't like Paul Simon's Graceland, for example, where he was obviously borrowing from African traditions specifically. Most young musicians now grow up in an information saturated reality where classical music, metal, indie rock, and other weird stuff sits side by side on their ipod. All of those styles are a genuine part of our DNA, and the music resulting from that is what excites us.
We also share a common aesthetic with a lot of other short-run labels that have been popping up recently, including a strong visual style and open business ethics. In the last few years a legitimate community has crystalized around a new American underground; we feel very much a part of that and want to support artists who are open minded about the meaning of music and art.
It seems you mostly release tapes and/or vinyl with the occasional CD release…tell me about this decision.
Those are just the available options, we would do laser disc but we'd be bankrupt. I still haven't figured out if CD-R's or tapes are cheaper to produce. I personally prefer the packaging of a cassette tape, especially when there is printing on the shell, but in a lot of situations CDs make more utilitarian sense. As for vinyl, the 12 inch art alone is worth the cost..
The resurgence of tapes and vinyl has another social layer for sure, though. It seems like an obvious reaction to a rapidly technologized culture, where people surrounded by mass conveniences and quick information are also obsessed with the idea of authenticity. And whether or not it's true, vintage often equals authentic. So that's the trend. Also, in the last decade it's become easy to make high fidelity music cheaply. That ease of access allowed the production of music to become as important as the notes being played, so striving for an analog sound (on tape particularly) was just an attempt to do something different.
The music might not be for everyone. Can you describe a fan of Orange Milk?
That's difficult to answer. I've heard from guys in the army who said they liked our tapes. Your average person is usually a lot weirder than they might seem at first glance, so I'd say anyone who has has a curious streak could be into Orange Milk, which is almost everyone.
Most of the releases or artists involved seem to be getting rave reviews on the internet on blogs, etc. How does one go about this?
Luckily, a lot of the blog culture matured alongside the current experimental music scene, for lack of a better term. So there are plenty of blogs and review sites that love to cover non-formulaic, weirder stuff. We just email them and send out promos.
Describe your relationship with Pitchfork's Altered Zones blog – you seem to be in relatively good standing with them.
Altered Zones was started by Pitchfork when they recognized the loose community forming around this new underground music/blog scene. They aggregated the most popular of those blogs to centralize coverage. So far they tend to cover the style of music that we release. After covering my Giant Claw record 'Midnight Murder' they asked me to contribute a piece to their site about the tape label NNA, which was fun to do.
Do you accept demos, and if so, what does Orange Milk look for in a release?
You can go to orangemilkrecords.com to submit a demo. I think the intent and attitude behind a record is the most important thing for us. Like I mentioned, borders between genres are breaking down constantly, but it's easy to spot a lazy or an inspired record.
What are some of your favorite releases thus far?
Sean McCann's Open Resolve was one of my favorite records in 2010… it was a limited release on the tape label Stunned, so Sean let us give it the vinyl treatment. Being able to make art for it was exciting, I hope the album will endure because it's very good. I'm also into the Piper Spray tape we released, Omnicron Girls. It was a random demo from a guy in Russia that was excellent, and people seemed to like it a lot. Actually, we've gotten a few demos from Russia and they've all been incredible. There's definitely a burgeoning musical underground happening over there as well.
What's been the defining moment thus far?
Breaking even after the McCann vinyl was nice. Also the acceptance of the Giant Claw and Piper Spray releases was good for me, it was vindicating to see unknown artists getting some attention instead of just releasing safe albums from established artists.
What's in the future for Orange Milk?
We have a new LP coming out from Ashley Paul, and later on the horizon LPs from Ken Seeno (of the band Ponytail) and Caboladies. We've got a ton of tapes lined up as well, from people like Fielded (the singer of Ga'an), La Big Vic, Cream Juice (me and Seth's new project), Maharadja Sweets, Mark Dwinell (from FORMA), and HCMJ (James from The Sailing), among others.
Where is music going in 2012? Is Orange Milk leading the way?
A lot of people seem upset or confused by the streak of nostalgia in music. But I think the use of appropriation and interpretation is a major contribution to art, and one that will continue for a while. It's about grabbing the heaps of cultural treasure and trash and presenting them in interesting ways. Essentially taking elements that aren't traditionally musical and placing them in a musical context. The ongoing flood of cultural ephemera is the only heritage a lot of American musicians have — and that's a big difference between artists now and those in the 60s who were responding to mass culture for the first time. When we sample a clip from an old video game or pop song, it's not like Andy Warhol making Elvis prints. It's an expression of a fucked up ancestry that continues to be dictated by a dominating culture and economic system. That saturated pop culture is often young people's only tradition, so art will continue to be made from it and despite it.
Is there any reason you do the majority of the artwork for Orange Milk?
We want a strong and recognizable visual style. The entire package is important, so if there's bad art I usually consider it a bad release. That might seem like an outdated viewpoint with digital media in full swing, but I sometimes like staring at a cover as much as listening to the music. For Orange Milk I usually try to work with the musicians on the artwork so everyone is happy
The essential Orange Milk, in their own words:
Ashley Paul, Slow Boat
This record seems to pull out every last sound in the organic world into a context of simple beauty and conceptual interest simultaneously. It is masterfully original and well thought out with superb musicianship that puts hope into a polarized world of conceptual vs. analytic.
—Seth Graham
Maharadja Sweets, Engines of Joy
Richard Exelbert's music is so sincere it brings joy and pain simultaneously. There is something undeniable about a man who looks like a distressed bank teller by day and an open mic circuit player by night.
—Seth Graham
Giant Claw, Midnight Murder
Many groups have been playing with analog synth sounds, arpeggiators, drum machines and sequencers lately, but Giant Claw makes especially confident-sounding choices. And the focus is on composition with dry, clear mixes that stand in contrast to the many reverbed-out improvisations one often hears from neo-psych/Krautrock acts.
—Scott Scholz (killedincars.tumblr.com)
Sean McCann, Open Resolve
A seminal recording of sound collage and experimental synthesizer music from one of the brightest musicians in underground America.
—Keith Rankin

'Teen Mom OG': Amber & Farrah's Explosive Reunion Fight Was 'Set Up By Producers'
Whoa! Even though Farrah and Amber's fight appears to have been super violent, as evidenced by the new 'Teen Mom OG' trailer released on Nov. 28, Farrah's boyfriend Simon Saran tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that it's actually pretty 'boring.' Amber takes a swing at Farrah, but no one gets hit. Find out more below!
"In the Teen Mom OG reunion, Amber [Portwood] ran around being angry, pretending like she was mad, but I could see right through her. She was very scared when she ran out on stage. I could tell how nervous and scared Amber was on stage. Matt somehow ran into Farrah [Abraham]'s father and slipped and bumped him at one point and they both fell on the floor," Farrah's boyfriend Simon Saran tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"But the whole [fight] is boring — fans might be disappointed. No one was punched or hit. Amber took a swing at Farrah, but it did not connect. The whole fight was set up by producers. Why else would the cameras be where they were? The security was so tight, they would not even let me out of my room to go grab lunch," he adds.
"If Amber had hit Farrah, Amber would be in jail right now. And Farrah would probably knock Amber's ass out anyway. I don't think Amber would win that fight, 100% Farrah would win, I would put money on that too," Simon says.

When we asked Simon whether he and Farrah would return next season, considering all the animosity amongst the cast, he said, "There is a high possibility that you will see more of me and Farrah on Teen Mom OG."

American restaurants have lately taken a piggy turn so sharp that chefs risk catcalls from cliché-attuned diners every time they confit a pork belly. Eaters have thankfully moved past the heady, intense first stage of bacon romance, during which bacon hot sauce, bacon mayonnaise, and woven bacon casseroles were greeted as important culinary breakthroughs (a fervor that coincided almost exactly with the nation's wars in a pair of predominantly halal countries). But menus still bear the hickeys of the headlong affair: Bartenders add cracklings to their Manhattans, bakers put bacon in their doughnuts, and high-end chefs laud pig ears and trotters.
BUDAPEST BISTRO 12926 Mukilteo Speedway, Lynnwood, 425-513-9846. 10 a.m.–9 p.m. Tues.–Sat.
Still, no matter how many pork chops and sausages a restaurant issues, it doesn't stand a chance of out-swining a restaurant specializing in Hungarian cuisine. Forget the veal goulash and chicken paprikash—those dishes might make cameo appearances on Hungarian tables, but the country's diet has been ruled by pork—and pork fat—since Magyars living in the Carpathian Basin learned how to tame wild boars. Centuries of cooking with pig meat (as well as paprika, garlic, and sour cream) have produced a canon of rich, earthy, and delectably fatty dishes that could keep your insides warm for a week.
It's unfair to the splendid Budapest Bistro to label it as the best place in greater Seattle to sample traditional, lard-enhanced Hungarian cookery, since it has remarkably little competition in the category. It is that, to be sure, but it is also a restaurant that unstintingly offers the kindness, good cheer, and faraway flavors diners seek when they venture out for a meal. Home-style cooking and care are at the heart of Elizabeth Muszka's extraordinary decade-old enterprise; the cauliflower soup is just commentary.
The region's Eastern European expat community is well-acquainted with Budapest Bistro, which serves as a meeting spot for the state's Austria Club. Members regularly gather around a long table to drink tart red wine, eat doughy knuckles of spaetzle, and—judging from the reception granted a gray-haired woman who told a convoluted, punning yarn about a package from Worms—trade the same Teutonic jokes.
Unaffiliated Austrians, Germans, and Hungarians find their way to the tiny Lynnwood restaurant, too: Budapest Bistro's guest book, shelved alongside a few dated magazines and a West German almanac, is crammed with testimonials from customers who stop just short of printing their passport numbers to prove their congenital credentials for appraising cabbage and pork. On one recent evening, a plate of Wiener schnitzel pricked a lone diner's sense of nostalgia so deeply that he passed up dessert, choosing instead to stare longingly at a map of Hungary while finishing his beer.
Yet while the restaurant's inspired devotion among locals with Eastern Bloc roots, it's registered with very few eaters from other cultural backgrounds. "Nobody knows we're here," one of the restaurant's two servers told me. "I lived down the block and I didn't know about it."
That must be due in part to Budapest Bistro's location in the back corner of a strip mall. The fluorescent-lit restaurant is furnished with eight tables and a mishmash of chairs, including a few wheeled brown pleather seats that probably did time in a den. The centerpiece of the room is a large deli case, installed by the previous owner, a firm believer in the economic potential of lunch. Budapest Bistro uses the case to house a dozen homemade cakes and German beer. Homey touches abound: The storefront window is frocked in a gingham valance, and the back wall is absorbed by a bright mural of a barrel-chested soldier and a damsel in a pinafore, meeting beneath a banner reading "Meals and memories are made here." The servers wear dirndls, the bouncy biergarten outfits that fill the St. Pauli Girl's closet.
There is no printed menu at Budapest Bistro. Instead, guests are prompted to choose from the two or three entrées listed on a whiteboard that's updated daily. Regular customers know they can call a day or two before dining to place their entrée requests. There's no beer or wine list, either: Guests describe their preferences—light or dark, dry or sweet—and Muszka, a Hungarian native, decrees what they'll drink.
Every entrée comes with soup or salad and a basket of bread. On days when Muszka finds extra time in the kitchen, the bread is homemade, and so exceptionally good that the restaurant is prone to expend its supply of thawed butter pats before diners get their fill of it. The chewy bread is stiffened with rye and blazes with a sourness that's a capable sparring partner for Budapest Bistro's rich soups and sauces. The plain, white, industrial-tasting backup bread is a cue to forgo starches by the slice and instead save belly room for Muszka's always-housemade spaetzle, eggy and tender. The side should accompany any dish with sauce in need of sopping, including a hardy beef stroganoff enriched with slips of bacon.
Hungary is rainy in the summer and snowy in the winter, which may explain the national affection for soup. Both of the varieties I sampled at Budapest Bistro had the same internal structure: Thick and creamy, the stout soups were bolstered by a paprika tang and seeded with bits of carrots and diminutive pasta shells. A velvety mushroom soup with the alluring fattiness of slow-cooked pot-roast gravy was especially good. The salad selection typically includes one made with greens, one with marinated cucumbers, and a crunchy, peppery slaw worth ordering even if there's bound to be braised red cabbage or a heap of biting sauerkraut on your entrée plate.
Budapest Bistro doesn't have a set recipe for sausage, confided our server, whose friend helps Muszka and her husband tackle casings, spices, and pork, a weekly chore that's extra arduous because the restaurant doesn't have a mixing machine. Its leather-skinned sausages, served two to a plate, are hearty even by sausage standards. Dashed with hunks of bacon and pocketed with pork fat, the smoky ground pork sausages, dark as charred marshmallows, sound a full scale of flavor notes.
Diners who prefer their pork with fewer footnotes will fancy the plate-crossing Wiener schnitzel, pounded tissue-thin, encased in a frisky layer of gorgeously seasoned breading, and pan-fried. The dish is neat and orderly, unlike Muszka's pungent pork sauerkraut stew. The stringy stew, which looks like a bad hair day, is marvelous, and only more so doused with sour cream. Accompanied by a rockslide of jagged parsley potatoes, glossy with butter, the stew deserves to be sponsored by Hungary's tourism board.
In a Hungarian restaurant, there must be pastry, and Budapest Bistro doesn't disappoint. Muszka makes pistachio cakes, raspberry cakes, coconut cakes, and a zillion other pastel-colored concoctions plumped with custard and cream. The genuinely friendly servers will point out whichever dessert's the freshest, but my favorite was a rolled pastry which juxtaposed the dusty sweetness of poppy seeds with the syrupy sweetness of ripe plums.
Just as Budapest Bistro doesn't fuss with paperwork at the start of a meal, neither does it bother with presenting a check at its end. When guests are finished, they're directed to approach the cash register, where Muszka reviews the charges and makes a pitch for a final purchase. "She's going to hit you up for chocolate," our server warned us on our first visit, motioning to the metal shelves stocked with candies and pickles.
On our second visit, we knew what to expect. "One more time, you're regulars," the same server told us. I have a hunch I'll be back more than once.

Looking Out the Front Door: Ray Manzarek vows never to play 'The End.'
Break on Through
Former Door Ray Manzarek finds new life in the old songs
By Bruce Robinson
RAY MANZAREK has been intimately associated with the music of the Doors for the past 40 years, since co-founding the hugely influential band with Jim Morrison, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. But the keyboardist has something else in mind for his upcoming duo date with Roy Rogers at Redwood City's Little Fox Theatre.
"It will be an evening of piano and guitar improvisations based on themes that we have developed and certain pieces of music," Manzarek explains. "There will be some blues, some meditative music," and, he promises, even an Erik Satie composition. Unlike their previous joint appearances, this time they actually rehearsed. "That was sort of a Ray-plays-the-piano-and-tells-stories-and-then-brings-out-Roy-Rogers gig," Manzarek says. "This time, it's going to be Ray and Roy from the get-go." They are also looking beyond to an extended partnership that is expected to yield additional live dates and recording.
In his nonmusical hours, Ray is adjusting to his new agrarian lifestyle far from Los Angeles. "We're gone. [Wife] Dorothy and I packed it up and split, left the city of madness behind, moved to the country." Now situated on two acres in the northern Napa valley with chickens, fruit trees, vegetables, "a wildflower meadow that needs constant weeding," a fish pond and more, Manzarek grumbles cheerfully that he is now a "working slave to the land."

Meanwhile, on the near horizon is a trip to Europe with Riders on the Storm, the band he has formed with Doors guitarist Krieger and Ian Astbury, the frontman for the Cult. But Manzarek is insistent that they not be presented as a new incarnation of his old band. "That was pretty mandatory. It's not the Doors," he elaborates. "But it's Ray and Robbie from the Doors."
For Manzarek, the Riders dates have been a welcome return to music he loves but had rarely played. After Morrison's death in 1971, the surviving Doors stopped playing together in 1973. "And then we only played together for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and [the TV tribute, Stoned Immaculate,] on VH1," he recalls. "Those are actually the only times I played 'Light My Fire' with a rock band in 25 to 30 years. So here we are, doing it again, and, yeah, it's a great deal of fun.
"Somebody said to me, 'Don't you get tired of playing "Light My Fire"?' and I said, 'You get tired of sex?'" He laughs. "You know, same old orgasm." He slips into a blasé character voice. "'Another goddamn orgasm. Ho-hum, I'm bored.'" He snorts at the absurdity. "You never get bored with sex! And I never get bored with playing 'Light My Fire.'"
Manzarek is firm about playing the hits. "If I'm coming to a Doors concert, I damn well better hear 'Break on Through,' 'Back Door Man,' 'Light My Fire,' 'L.A. Woman' and 'Riders on the Storm,' which we never played live when Jim was still alive."
But there is at least one much-requested song that he flatly refuses to exhume. "We don't do 'The End.' It's sacred to Jim. That's a Jim Morrison song. And you can see Jim Morrison do 'The End,' if you need to; it's available on The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl video. But in person, no, we don't do 'The End.' And they want 'The End.' Holy Christ, do people want 'The End.' I'm not sure why."
While Krieger and Manzarek have now reunited, drummer John Densmore remains estranged from his former band mates, partly due to his adamant refusal to allow any Doors songs to be used in commercials. Still, Manzarek is hopeful they may yet play together again, perhaps next year, which, he points out, will be "the 40th anniversary of 'Light My Fire' as the No. 1 song in America. So we're hoping that in 2007 John Densmore will say, 'OK, let's let bygones be bygones and go play again.' But you never know."
Ray Manzarek and Roy Rogers play Saturday, March 11, at the Little Fox Theatre, 2209 Broadway, Redwood City. Tickets are $28 at the door. (650.FOX.4119)

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) stated that while fellow candidate Donald Trump needed to be stood up to, when it comes to the personal attacks he leveled against Trump, "that's not something I'm entirely proud of," and "if I had to do it again, I wouldn't" in a town hall on MSNBC on Wednesday.
Rubio stated that while he doesn't regret policy attacks on Trump, "In terms of things that have to do with personal stuff, yeah, I — at the end of the day, you know, that's not something I'm entirely proud of, my kids were embarrassed by it. And I — if I had to do it again, I wouldn't. But not on the other charges. Not on the other things. When it comes to the fact that he is portraying himself as something that he's not, and has done this before throughout his career, this time, the stakes are not a worthless $36,000 degree at Trump University, the stakes are the greatest nation on earth, and on that, I think I'm well within the teachings of my faith."
He added, "He needed to be stood up [to]. This is a guy that's basically offended everyone, for a year. I mean, literally has mocked a disabled journalist, a female journalist, every minority group imaginable, on a daily basis. I mean, you run — it becomes — use profanity from the stage. That said, yeah, I don't want to be that. If that's what it takes to become president of the United States, then I don't want to be president. I don't think that's what it takes to be president. In fact, I know it's not what it takes. It's not what we want from our next president. And if I had to do it again, I would have done that part differently. But not the stuff about his record on business, I think that is legitimate, and the people need to know that what they are electing is not who he says he is."

Damascus Lodge was created because of the success of LaFayette Lodge No. 265. In 1904, within ten years of its start, LaFayette Lodge had 415 members and 180 degrees waiting to be conferred. It was impossible to process all the petitions. To prevent the loss of candidates, 123 Masons sought permission to form a new lodge in Milwaukee, to be named "Damascus."
The new lodge received its dispensation from Grand Master David Wright in November 1904 and its charter in June 1905. The lodge immediately prospered. Contrary to common Masonic practice in Wisconsin, Damascus Lodge No. 290 has never sought to build or buy its own building. Among its meeting places were the old Aberdeen Hotel at 909 Grand (West Wisconsin) Avenue, the Wisconsin Commandery Building on Jefferson Street, Cottrill Hall of the Ivanhoe Commandery Building, Kilbourne Masonic Temple and Excelsior Masonic Temple, Nathan Hale Masonic Temple, and currently resides at Lake Masonic Temple. Damascus Lodge has sometimes been called a "Gypsy Lodge" by its members, but one lodge secretary, Mark Lee, served from the charter date in 1905 until 1946.
In 1946, Damascus Lodge had its own concert band composed entirely of members who were professional musicians. Its concerts were augmented at intermissions by the Damascus Hotshots, a four-man ensemble consisting of clarinet, bull-fiddle, guitar and washboard, played by Walter Grebe, Robert Lorenz, William Lorenz and George Schwartz.
In 1951, several Damascus Lodge Masons started a new lodge in the southwest suburbs, Nathan Hale Lodge No. 350.
Damascus Lodge No. 290 has had three Past Masters of Damascus Lodge were Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin. William W. Perry in 1895, Fred L. Wright in 1928, Thomas Loignon in 1933.

9. Another Welcome Back: Dennis Kang it's good to see you win again after your TKO victory at SpiritMC. I almost, and I say almost, forgot about you. It seems like forever when you were considered a Top Ten fighter. Actually, that was just a year ago. Time flies when you lose, huh?
8. Sweet Swing: So Chuck Liddell ate a big one from Rashad Evans. Those lazy boxing habits get exploited again. Who throws uppercuts from that far out? Chuck put it best afterwards, the path to the belt just got longer. It's more like his road to the title got re-routed.
7. Man Drama: KJ Noons has fought more war of the words than actual battles inside the cage lately. Snoop should write a song: With so much drama in Elite X-C it's kinda hard bein'…
6. More Drama: Up and coming heavyweight fighter Brett Rogers is pissed about not getting a shot at Kimbo now. In a year you'll be happier when ProElite folds and he makes his way to the UFC.
5. Ken vs Kimbo: It's a shame I have to waste web space on mentioning this fight, a headliner for EliteXC's next CBS event. After casual fans saw Ken Shamrock get destroyed by Tito Ortiz and finished by Rich Franklin do you really think they'll care about him fighting Kimbo? This card isn't going to be enough to sway viewers from MLB playoffs if the Cubs are on that night.) Plus Ohio State and USC on the CFB front are in action on primetime. Like I said, will these guys be around next year?
4. UFC on CBS: They're talking again. It seems CBS still sees a true future in the sport of mixed martial, err the sport of Ultimate Fighting? I mean c'mon let's be real, there are UFC fans and there are MMA fans. Don't be mad at the truth… the MMA world is the UFC and everyone else.
3. Toys: My toy wishlist just expanded when the JAKKS made announcement of more MMA action figures and playsets of UFC, WEC and Pride personalities. Will there be a police chase Rampage Jackson action set be complete with dented cars? When do we get the anatomically correct Ariel?
2. Bring Home the Canadian Bacon: Another victory for mainstreaming MMA: Canadian promotion TKO Championship Fighting inks a deal with network TKS. The added exposure should help educate those north of the border who are ignorant about the great sport of MMA.
1. Death Wish, of sorts: Randy/Fedor down the line under the UFC could be an option. Remember the WAMMA champ is under contract with Affliction. Now how many of you hardcore fans are actually hoping to see the promotion of trendy T-shirts bite it see you can see the two celebrated heavyweights get at each other sooner than later.

Peter & Margaret's Happy-Making Music-Loving Home
Name: Peter, Margaret and Hurley, too!
Location: Japantown — San Jose, California
Size: 1,350 square feet
Years lived in: 6 months
Peter and Margaret are newlyweds — they settled into this home just before getting married. Only six months after moving in, there is a definite design direction to the space; it's simple (but not spare), clean and crisp (but not cold) and the couple's love of the good things in life — art and music — clearly shines through.
Peter shared some of the thinking behind their design decisions: Our house utilizes a lot of natural light and includes a broad mix of colors. The style is modern and fun, drawing inspiration from Apartment Therapy house tours. We are fans of many of the classics such as Nelson and Eames, but are always on the look out for new styles and anything we see that catches our eye.
We are huge fans of art and very proud that most of the artwork in the house was done by myself and my wife, or by our close friends. We base a lot of our color choices on the artwork that we have created, and vice versa. Being newlyweds, this was our first home together and pretty much furnished the entire place from scratch. Our challenge was to efficiently fill the space with not too much, while making it feel cozy and fun.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Modern, minimal, fun, colorful, and art inspired. Just a place that makes us happy!
Inspiration: Artwork is a major component to the house. If the walls were empty, the house would feel completely different. We had owned some of the artwork prior to moving in to the house and loved them so much that we wanted to make sure that the art fit right into the rooms we were going to put them in. So a lot of our furniture and color choices were based on some of the art we owned.
Favorite Element: The high ceilings and all the natural lighting this place gets. The high ceilings of the house make it feel airy and larger than it actually is. We also have a lot of windows throughout the entire house, which provide natural light to all the rooms. It definitely helps in the bedroom, since the sunlight sneaking in through the blinds every morning is the perfect way to start the day.
Biggest Challenge: We started moving into this house right before we got married and were furnishing it from scratch. Our goal was to give the house the modern, fun, and clean feel that we envisioned but make sure that it was cozy and comfortable at the same time. It took some patience to keep shopping around until we found individual pieces that we were satisfied with for each nook of the home.
What Friends Say: Some words we've heard are "clean", "sleek", "modern", "homey" and "fun". We also get asked a lot about our artwork (who and where to get them).
Biggest Embarrassment: The dog hair! Hurley (our rough-coat Jack Russell Terrier) sheds everywhere he goes, so we have to constantly vacuum, sweep, and lint roll everything, especially when we have guests over.
Proudest DIY: The artwork that was done by us. It's always cool when people ask us "where did you get that piece?" and we get to say "we painted it ourselves." Some other pieces are from our close friends too, which we're also proud of.
Biggest Indulgence: The bed. Neither of us had truly spent the time or money to purchase a bed that we really were in love with. We had been sleeping in our beds from college or what we could afford after graduating from college, so we felt it was time to really get that perfect bed since we just got married. This one from Room & Board has an upholstered headboard that we've always wanted, and was custom designed with the fabric and color.
Best Advice: Don't be afraid to mix the cheap with the expensive. Just because you own a few designer pieces doesn't mean you can't throw in some Ikea items that catch your eye. It's about the colors and lines, not the price. Finally, always furnish your house for yourself and what you love. It's where you and your friends and family will share some of the most intimate and memorable moments. Make sure that it feels right. You won't regret it.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil. Lower the heat and reduce the vinegar to about 1/3 cup, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan with boiling water, add the pearl onions, and cook until soft but still firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove the skins, leaving the root intact and the onion whole.
In a large bowl, toss the swordfish cubes, onions, and olive oil together. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss again.
Thread the fish, onions, and bay leaves onto wooden or metal skewers. Divide the ingredients evenly, alternating them on the skewers. Grill the fish skewers for about 1 minute on each side, for a total 4 minutes.
To serve, drizzle with a little of the balsamic reduction.

In American Protestant culture it is generally assumed that Catholics are intellectually inferior and backward. This is often attributed to the stifling effects of the Middle Ages, from which the Roman Catholic Church has not escaped. It is also often attributed to the repressive authority of the Pope and the hierarchy. Somehow the "mother church" muddled along, but it was mostly ignorance and magic. It came as a great surprise to me to discover the depth of the philosophical and theological reflection developed throughout the history of the Church, especially of the great achievements of Augustinian and Thomistic theology as well as their interface with the major philosophical systems of their days, Neo-Platonic and Aristotelian thought. Furthermore, I had never considered that the Catholic Church was the true origin and protector of the Liberal Arts tradition in the Western World. This tradition had been hidden away in the Middle Ages, that Protestantism called the "dark ages." Several incidents in Church history, like the condemnation of Galileo, overshadowed everything else.
27. Because of their moral honesty, Catholics can also be the most honest intellectuals. In his ground-breaking book, Degenerate Moderns, E. Michael Jones makes the case that much modern intellectual activity is really rationalized sexual misbehavior. The intellectual life is a function of the moral life of the thinker. In order to apprehend truth, which is the goal of the intellectual life, one must live a moral life (p. 16). On the one hand we have St. Augustine and St. Thomas who rigorously submit desire to the truth. On the other hand we have Freud or Paul Tillich who submitted truth to their desires. Jones makes the case by exposing biographically that intellectuals without the moral disciplines of the Church and without confession and absolution easily get caught up in the guilty tracks of their desires. Once this has happened, one's intellectual achievements often become an exercise in rationalizing the guilt of lust. Catholic intellectuals, with the protection of God's moral laws, and the resources of the Church for obtaining forgiveness, successfully resolving guilt, are the first among intellectuals in their freedom to be honest.[i]
28. The principle of catholicity (comprehensiveness). An essential intellectual principle that inspired me is that of comprehensiveness. It is essential to apply in all areas of thought, and especially in the study of the Bible. The danger in any field of study is to take a small part and generalize from that part rather than seeing the part in the context of the entire field of play. In scripture studies the danger is in selecting individual passages for their content and not seeing them in the context of the entire written revelation of God and in the development given them throughout the Tradition. In apologetic discussions with non-Catholics the most common phrase I have had to use was, "Would you please continue reading to the end of the passage." The second was, "How can you harmonize that passage with these others?" This concern for comprehensiveness is crucial to avoiding some of the errors of fundamentalism and erroneous proof texting. A typical example of this kind of superficiality is the criticism of Catholics for calling their priests "father." The apparent basis for this is Matthew 23:9, "And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven." Yet those who make this criticism do not seem to take the context of that passage into account. Furthermore, many New Testament texts show the appropriateness for the designation "father" for spiritual leaders. First Corinthians 4:14-21 is but one example.[ii]
Comprehensiveness as including necessary balance. The principle of comprehensiveness demands that the Catholic take into account all legitimate differing positions, maintaining all necessary balances, not just taking the one side of a position that is consistent with his personality or situation. I remember being so impressed when I first came across Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care (audio). In its third part he reflects on how to give pastoral care to forty sets of opposing traits or situations, finding a balance appropriate to each. The depth of this approach addressed me profoundly, and I returned often to meditate upon its truth. This illustrates the fact that truth and life are ordinarily found in avoiding extremes by recognizing a correct balance. I had found many Protestant churches and Protestant organizations based on one side of a principle or behavioral experience, raising it up as virtue, but not taking into account other legitimate positions. An example of this would be the attitude often found in the Assembly of God churches when they insist on speaking in tongues as the definitive sign of spiritual maturity, not taking St. Paul's cautions in 1 Cor 13 and 14 into account. This is an attitude that inevitably leads sects and divisions, not to the responsible, creative unity sought in Catholic tradition. This principle is also true in practical areas, for example, in approaching ecology and the environment, in balancing justice and love, ion developing personal growth/ societal applications.
29. Intellectual freedom not confused with irresponsible license. I have come to realize that the cries of many intellectuals for freedom to peddle their wares are nothing more than the desire to be able to promote often questionable ideas free from responsibility for their consequences. Major changes in ideas and life practices, even refinements in doctrinal areas, have usually come at great expense and much suffering. Extreme and painful have been the price that many have paid to establish a new understanding of truth. The conflicts of the Arian controversy provoked exile and murder. Today some of the proponents of sexual liberation complain bitterly about their being disciplined in the Church. This discipline has been very light historically speaking. Freedom for intellectual investigation comes with its limits and responsibilities. New positions must be valid enough to be paid for with some price.
30. Responsible recognition of the development of doctrine. The study of the development of doctrine is a great strength in the Catholic tradition. The tendency within Protestant theology and Scripture study is to leap from the Apostolic Age to the Reformation, dismissing almost everything in between as irrelevant. One often dismisses or ignores the great intellectual developments from St. Anselm and St. Thomas, as well as the maturation centering around Abelard. This ignoring of a continuing development of thought seemed intellectually irresponsible to me.
In addition, to recognizing the continuity of the history of the Church, I realized that the Holy Spirit had been given to the Church to guide such development. Fundamentalists, especially, wish to remain excessively limited to the text of Scripture. They forget that Jesus told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would teach them everything and remind them of all that he had taught them. This gives the Holy Spirit a special role in guiding the progressive understanding of doctrine in the life of the Church. This is like the growth of an oak tree from an acorn. From the very beginning one has the same tree, but it grows and develops. John Henry Cardinal Newman's Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine was very helpful to me. Once I had committed myself to Catholicism and was studying as Steubenville and with the Jesuits in Brussels, I found that references to St. John Chrysostom or Origin did not meet with blank stares. On the contrary, Protestants who get into the study of the Fathers of the Church are often held suspect as being closet Catholics.
31. Catholicism as the foundation and origin of the Liberal Arts Tradition. Another intellectual reason for becoming Catholic is the Catholic Liberal Arts tradition. It was once considered that the teaching of the Liberal Arts was one of the major evangelization tools the Church. In this tradition, theology resides as the culminating, integrating discipline rather than the rhetoric of the sophists or the mathematical secular rationalism of modernity. The authentic, ancient tradition of the liberal arts is one of the great corrections to modern schools of subjective thought.
I am deeply convinced that higher education again needs to come under the supervision of the Church. It is often the case today, that attempting to teach a student in a university such things as self-restraint and the moral conviction necessary for character is about equivalent to teaching chastity in a brothel. I am so happy and proud now to be a part of the great Catholic Tradition, for I believe that we can re-establish godly values and formation in the lives of modern students.
32. Concern for the dignity and freedom of the human person. This has been historically one of the great contributions of the Catholic Church to Western Culture. On the one hand, modern American culture tends to judge the worth of a person on what he can do, the money he can accumulate, the education he has obtained, the value of his contributions to society, his physical health and function of his body, in sum, on how useful he is on a daily basis. However, on the other hand, God tells us that our worth is derived from our relationship with Him, that he created us out of love and redeemed us by the price of the blood of His Son. Our sense of worth, our self-esteem is at the very root of our relationship with God. The Catechism provides an excellent overview of this, complete with references to the entire patrimony of the Church.[iii]
33. The study of philosophy and dialogue with other great systems of thought. The study of philosophy is a very great gift which seems to have been lost to most of Protestantism. This study is nothing more than the self-conscious study of the thought systems of man. Since these thought systems have influenced our contemplations concerning our faith, it is not really possible to think theologically with the clarity and depth needed without some rudimentary appreciation of the philosophies that have influenced Western European civilization. I sometimes felt in Protestant seminary that the faculty did not want us to look at our history nor our presuppositions very critically. At one point, a group of students had requested a course in the history of theological thought from the Reformation until the present. The request was refused. In comparison, every Catholic seminarian is expected to study the entire historical overview of philosophy, from the pre-Socrates to the present day, something that in my Jesuit-directed studies occupied two semesters of classes and occupied Copleston for nine volumes. The intellectual perspective that such study provides is essential and is today only consistently and comprehensively found within the Catholic tradition.
34. Clarity on erroneous and problematic manners of thinking. The great continuous tradition of theological and philosophical thought in the Catholic Church provides an excellent foundation for analyzing modern thought for errors and problems. Catholics can appreciate the dependence of much of Protestantism on nominalism, the dependence on false presuppositions (in German idealism and other forms of modern thought), the danger of subjective systems of self-actualization (Rogers and Maslow), and is a sure guide through the mine field of the many deceptions of the modern New Age movement.[iv]
35. The spiritual gift of celibacy and its relationship to intellectual excellence. Until I actually became Catholic and went to Belgium to study (by myself, with my wife remaining behind to look over our teenage boys, to earn a living to support us all, and to obtain medical insurance), celibacy was to me one of the least attractive elements of the Catholic tradition and especially of the Catholic clergy. My reaction to this practice delayed my becoming Catholic for a number of years. My experience in Brussels opened my eyes to see the great gift that celibacy can be for achieving intellectual excellence. The many years of education required for a Catholic to achieve training for priesthood and advanced degrees (Licentiate and Doctorate) are simply very difficult for lay persons (I calculate it takes about eleven years of study and formation to prepare for priesthood and these advanced degrees). Financially and emotionally it becomes almost impossible for married men or women to achieve this. Even if it is possible to obtain this education, the time and energy demanded by one's family makes it impossible to dedicate oneself to this preparation to the same depth and thoroughness that a celibate person is free to do. One can project on from this observation to see how the same freedom is very helpful in the life of a priest in his parish and in his diocese.
36.The great treasure of St. Augustine and St. Thomas. Here we have two of the greatest minds of the Church. They provide some of the most profound analysis and presentation of Christian theology in the Church. They also represent the integration of the two greatest systems of philosophy from the ancient world into the Christian faith, Neo-Platonism and Aristotelianism. Any system of thought that did not take seriously these two great thinkers would be deficient. I am personally convinced that we have no concept today of how important and how valuable the thinking of St. Thomas has been to bring us to where we are today.
37. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992). No other Christian denomination has any summary of the faith that is as deeply rooted in Scripture and the entire Tradition of the Church as the Catholic Church. The Catechism provides the essential collection of the doctrine of the Church (the deposit of faith) as it is to be understood after the Second Vatican Council. As much in matters of belief as in matters of morality, as well as an affirmation of the sacramental reality of the Church, and in affirming the importance of prayer, the interior life, and the traditional spiritual devotions of the Catholic Church, the Catechism fives authoritative guidance for the faithful, setting limits on experimental religion and documenting through the footnotes the great continuity in the Tradition of the Church. The importance given to the believer's personal relationship with Jesus Christ in the introduction to Part Four (2558) makes clear that our belief and doctrine (Part One), the liturgy and the sacraments (Part Two), and the living of a moral life (Part Three) are to contribute to believers living out their faith "in a vital and personal relationship with the living and true God" (See also ##35 & 299).
[i] This is a reason of first rank for being Catholic. I very highly recommend E. Michael Jones, Degenerate Moderns (San Francisco, Ignatius Press, 1993) and Paul Johnson, Intellectuals (New York: Harper & Row, 1988).
[ii] For a further explanation of this issue see Paul R. Key, "Apologetics Paper #1, 'Why Christians should think of their spiritual leaders as fathers.'" Catholic Answers also has an excellent tract on this subject.
[iii] Catechism, "Part III, Section One, Chapter One, The Dignity of the Human Person" (1700-1876), which includes the following Articles: "Man: the Image of God, Our vocation to Beatitude, Man's Freedom, The Morality of Human Acts, The Morality of the Passions, Moral Conscience, The Virtues, and Sin".
[iv] Love of Wisdom: An Introduction to Christian Philosophy by Rhonda Chervin and Eugene Kevane, "Part III, Modern Philosophy: A Challenging Problem" sets forth the weaknesses of many modern philosophers and contrasts their positions to Christian philosophy. Catholics and the New Age by Mitch Pacwa, S.J., provides a well-researched overview of the many problems of the New Age movement. "Confession of a Catholic School Dismantler" (audio) by Dr. William Coulson documents the tragic consequences of the work of Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, especially in the area of education. This audio demonstrates for me, more than any other source, the need for informed Catholic education. I cannot understate the importance of Dr. Coulson's revelations for anyone concerned about education in the United States today.

Wogs Out, Facts Later
In keeping with the lunge-first-look-later policy which now serves as the Whitehall standard, the Clegg-pledging race-baiter at the Home Office has decided to launch an investigation into the effects which the swarming Euro-wog hordes have on the economy. Since the race-baiting Clegg-pledger herself roused the rabble at a recent Conservative bark-and-blather with a pledge to name and shame companies who keep too many cockroaches on the payroll, it is perhaps unsurprising that the question hadn't previously occurred to her: what, after all, are mere facts compared with the necessity for appeasing the strutting cadres of the Farage Falange? The report is expected to be completed about seven months before the country falls into the low-tax, low-wage, cheese-exporting, chlorine-chickened paradise that awaits us at the foot of the Brexit cliff; which leaves nineteen more months of hostile environment before there is any danger of mere facts showing that the ravening swarms weren't really so bad after all.

Lucuma is native to the dry subtropical Andean coastal valleys. It is one of the Lost Crops of the Incas who honoured this fruit both as a food and spiritually. Lucuma is highly nutritious and has an addictive, delightful aroma. The use of the Lucuma began before the times of the Inca civilisation, demonstrated by the fact that representations of the fruit have been found amongst ceramics and textiles un-buried from Pre- Incan tombs in Peru.
During the processing, the pulp of the Lucuma is dehydrated and pulverized in such a way that all the unique characteristics of the fruit are preserved in the Lucuma flour.
In indigenous countries where lucuma grows, it is THE most popular ice-cream and desserts flavour and over-takes the demand for other popular flavours such as strawberry chocolate and vanilla.
Lucuma is an excellent source of fibre and is a rich source of good carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, including remarkable concentrations of beta-carotene, niacin and iron. Lucuma contains vitamin B1, B2, C, iron, phosphorous and fibre.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
How to use:
Lucuma has a wonderful, versatile flavour and can be added to any ice-cream, hot chocolate, smoothies, baby food, cakes, all kinds of desserts. To make lucuma puree, soak the powder in the same quantity of liquid for 2 to 3 hours. One kilo of fresh Lucuma is equivalent to using 4 spoons of Lucuma powder. When the Lucuma powder is rehydrated, it is mixed with 3 times the quantity of cold water and left to stand for 2 to 3 hours. The resulting puree can then be used to prepare a variety of different desserts...
You can also find it in our OT Strawberry porridge.
