The first thing we should recognize is that aside from the commie-rat-finks who ran those third rate dungeons, not everybody uniformly appreciated his efforts. There were those in the West, who from a "law and order" perspective; frowned upon the (technically) unlawful, illegal and (therefore?) "im-moral" aspects of Andrew's exploits. If my memory is not entirely whacked here, these folks were "shocked" that (horrors!) he was breaking the law! After all, isn't our behavior supposed to be excellent among the unbelievers, aren't we to be blameless before the gentiles? Yadda yadda, you're killing me with this stuff. Let me get this part...just right. Are we to, (by this standard) think by these rules, that the Almighty is "against" smuggling-in contraband? Is He always, and everywhere thus opposed? Talk to me here.
Let me tell you a story or two. My departed sis (Polly) had a batch of truly remarkable gifts. Of those, one strikes me as especially memorable, and don't ask me where she got it; (because we were certainly NOT raised this way!), but she used to be able to extend a "welcome field". Now, her life as a believing Christian, included a lot of details. She was among other things; a daughter, wife, mother, sister, and worship leader at her church. Busy? I would guess so. Stressed? Sure, why not? Yet somehow she emitted a weird field around her, and it (the field I mean) "welcomed". She could take an uptight, uncomfortable geek (who shall remain nameless) and actually make me feel "at home"? How was this done? My best guess here is, "it was supernatural".
Face it, we live in a harsh, mean, ugly old world. Polly died young, of a mean-nasty disease. Friendliness, open-armed welcome, and acceptance do not "belong" here, here in this harsh, dim, environment! Surely such gladness as hers is "misplaced"; in this world of grief, revenge, laziness and folly. She was "breaking the rules", and smuggling-in contraband! My other sis, (Nan) who is (thank God!) still with us castaways down here; is also a bootlegger, importing "unlawful goods". This sister (that rascal!), has the unmitigated nerve to produce (maybe you should be seated?)...things of BEAUTY? This is outrageous! There oughta be a law, I tell ya!
This gal could take seven toothpicks, a rock and a piece of swiss cheese, and make a "little ol' thing" of them which would cause you to nearly swoon. Isn't "taking-your-breath-away", as potentially, a violation of "law and order", at least a bit questionable? Is it even "lawful" in this dark, dank, fetid swamp of self-pity, this dump of screamingly butt-ugliness, (called "the world") to allow beauty to just run around unsupervised? I mean isn't there some paperwork; or a license of some kind required? Nan...is a smuggler, and worse yet; an unrepentant one!
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but ALL believers qualify somehow, and somewhere as God's smugglers. We are all brothers to Brother Andrew.
Not to wax too awfully metaphysical over here, but Jesus Christ Himself formats as some sort of "compound portal". Ordinarily, we think of a door, (or window for that matter) as a "fixed" access point. From one room into another, or going from inside to outside, you know? Doors themselves are "simple", not multi-plex. We do not expect doors to "move around" much. But by virtue of Him ascending to the right hand of the Father, high and low have been united (or linked at minimum). Therefore, He controls the entire spectrum, in that the highest of the high, down to the lowest of the low (this is where you come in...) are accessed "in" Him. The Guy OWNS the bell curve. Some new sort of doorway then is He, in which the clean wholesome light of that other land ends up mysteriously in this sad place down here. Now, as an abtruse (and unnecessary) aside, we could (I think) predict that with Him being this new kind of portal (permanently), such precludes the "need" for spacecraft in that fresh world to come?...From any given point then, to any other, an alternate route, a "shortcut" right through the throne-room on high; "appears"!
And however accurate (or not) that guess is, our idea here is that those trusting the King in this world-age have themselves become "windows or doors". Technically, you as a son, are broadcasting a light into this place which actually does not "belong" here. There is no "legal" accounting-for this gladness of yours, which you have been bearing around here in this sorrowful graveyard, in a most-unseemly manner I would add! A light shining out of your life seems to be projecting an unseemly confidence over in your vicinity, let's call it, a frankly strange "victorious-ness", which neither the "god of this age", nor this world itself; nor yet our own rotten selves can "splain", nor authorize; and let's just ignore that Ricky Ricardo riff there, shall we young man?
Our one hope? To, when we see Him, be made like Him!...I hate to break it to you, but it is already begun! That dimensional portal in Polly's life which admitted into my sad ugly life, an unexplainable welcome, and that same breach of worlds; which (to this day) allows Nan to (apparently, at will?) generate beauty into this grief stricken dump (called "reality"); this very same "portal" is in you, in your body I mean!
Weirdly, only other people can normally see it in you. Ask Nan about her scary-beauty bomb, and she just pooh-poohs the whole idea! I'm not kidding. She does not "see it" ...in her own self. And frequently, we find that people become far more arrestingly interesting, after they die, so maybe it's just unavoidable? Perhaps none of us are "truly appreciated" during our lifetime. Who cares? Our idea for today, is that it was NOT "about you" in any case! Appreciated or not, both ends of the spectrum prove moot, if our goal is to find out WHY we are this way. We, in our bodies; have become "an opening", allowing-in a light (which you-yourself, usually cannot see), into a sad dark dungeon? Others see-by your light briefly, but you-yourself are not the source of it! Others are refreshed and girt up again for their long journey, but that journey always points to Another! So, why are we this "illegal" way anyhow? Well, what would the other option be?
Wouldn't the "opposite" to this unlikely scenario be you-lighting your own way, or the opposite of that; no light for anybody at all? Things are never (yet) as bad as they could possibly be, but it would prove to be a serious degradation of affairs if the King's mercy and good gifts could "find" no other pathway into this grievous house of pain than His folk. See? We keep expecting Him to "immediately" fix, or "repair" things,...isn't that "His job" after all? Meanwhile, He keeps insisting that He always works through a "middle-man", an "agent", something about a "covenant" was it? He does not appear to be willing to negotiate here! Meanwhile, over in our hard cold hearts, are we so very certain that we wish no friend to (ever) be sent? In our cruel darkness, are we really clear on the idea of "no hope...ever coming" as our "answer" here? We shout at Him, in our pain and sadness, "Just leave me alone!", and He has given us time to swallow our pride and retract that. The "reason" that He gives us time... to quit our pointless project, is for us to come back to our senses, and ask for some help!
Here, I wax quasi-poetic, or at least as close as I am able to! We "bring what does not belong" into this world-age, because we have ourselves, (who do not belong), been "brought in". We assist others "to grasp", in that we have ourselves "been grasped". We help others "to know", in that we have ourselves "become known". We ourselves, though not "lovable" in, nor of, ourselves, have begun to love. We just kept thinking that for me to be loved, I must be "lovable" first, and by that route, lay no hope! He "broke the rules", in knowing us as we are, and also loving us! This then is a new kind of "food" if you will. It is the "thing", which, when put "in" you, makes you grow strong! Food keeps us alive! I hope that your mother did not fail to mention that crucial part to you!...

Summertime Paperbag Book
Today I was thinking about techniques, books, art, and such. I started looking for some unfinished books I had put together and set aside and ran across some paper bag books. I thought I might share them or at least one right now with you.
These are fun and easy to do. Summer is the perfect time to put one or two of these together. First gather different sizes of paper bags. I use lunch size bags - I think they are number sixes - also smaller bags like a four or two. I just save them when I get them out shopping.
Pick a few colors of neutral acrylic paint. I like Parchment, Light Ivory, and a blue or two. Get a large size bristle brush and a plastic plate or piece of wax paper. Pour a small puddle of paint and dip the tip of your brush in it. Lay out a few bags and lightly paint one side of them. I like the brown of the bag to show through. Let that side dry. Then turn over and paint a different color on the other side. These bags are the pages of your book.
While your bags are drying you can make the cover of your book. I figure out the largest bag folded in half and when measuring add a half inch to the width and length. Cut out two pieces of cardboard and cover with paper bag. Slap a little paint on this. Now comes the hard part.
Take two inch masking tape and lay a piece down on your work surface. Make sure it is several inches longer than your book and the sticky side is up. Now lay the edge of the first piece of covered cardboard on the right side of the masking tape about 1/2 inch in. Then do the same with the second piece. Then fold up masking tape. Cut another piece of tape and cover the inside sticky part. This is the frame for your book.
Once the bags are dry stack them. I have them opening one way then the next bag opening the other way. I put small bags in between the larger bags. Now you are going to sew the bags to the frame or cover piece. lay the cover piece down , opened. Then the pages on top. If you have a sewing machine sew a straight stitch down the middle. I lengthen the size of the stitches a bit. If you don't machine sew you can hand sew. Use a heavier needle and a strong thread like a quilting thread or double strand your thread. Sew a running stitch down to connect all the layers.
Next you will need a piece of hand made paper, something with fibers, like mulberry paper. Cut a piece the length of your book and about a third as wide as your book. Glue this to your spine with the sides overlapping the front and back. now open your book to the center and run some gel medium down your stitches very lightly. Let dry.
The fun is about to begin. Pull papers and images, tags and fibers and begin to assemble the inside pages. I have made these books with travel themes to the place I am traveling then put pictures and mementos in the bag pockets. You can do a beach book, a nature book, etc... just let your imagination go wild.

text: This was the first official month of my shopping fast, and I must say that it got off to a pretty rocky start. There were so many tempations with the after Christmas sales and new stores opening for the new year. But I am happy to report that I maintained my ground and sucessfully completed this month of my shopping fast! YAY!! Not only that, but I have also paid off one of my major debts off of my credit report. One down and eleven more to go. February involves all sorts of challenges with me taking a trip to New York for Fashion Week (super excited)!! So stay tuned, its only going to get better from here.

These people are of medium height, are slender and body frame may be delicate. Their chests are not as flat as those of vata people and they show a medium prominence of veins and muscle tendons. The bones are not as prominent as in the vata individual. Muscle development is moderate.
The pitta complexion may be coppery, yellowish, reddish or fair. The skin is soft, warm and less wrinkled than vata skin. The hair is thin, silky, red or brownish and there is a tendency toward premature graying of hair and hair loss. The eyes may be gray, green or cooper-brown and sharp: the eyeballs will be of medium prominence. The nails are soft. The shape of the nose is sharp and the tip tends to be reddish.
Physiologically, these people have a strong metabolism, good digestion and resulting strong appetites. The person of pitta constitution usually takes large quantities of food and liquid. Pitta types have a natural craving for sweet, bitter and astringent tastes and enjoy cold drinks. Their sleep is of medium duration but uninterrupted. They produce a large volume of urine and the feces are yellowish, liquid, soft and plentiful. There is a tendency toward excessive perspiring. The body temperature may run slightly high and hands and feet will tend to be warm. Pitta people do not tolerate sunlight, heat or hard work well.
Psychologically, pitta people have a good power of comprehension; they are very intelligent and sharp and tend to be good orators. They have emotional tendencies toward hate, anger and jealousy.
They are ambitious people who generally like to be leaders. Pitta people appreciate material prosperity and they tend to be moderately well-off financially. They enjoy exhibiting their wealth and luxurious possessions."
—seriously I am learning quite a bit from some of this kind of writing about what to eat and what not to. The physiological condition applies to me.
Ps. Probably ignore the stuff and shitting and about being moderately well-to-do.

Not to be confused with the similarly named teen-pop idol of the mall circuit from 30 years ago (but we have nothing personal against Debbie Gibson, honest), Cleveland-based Debbie Gifford earned a masters degree in opera performance from Cleveland State University. But jazz vocals also appealed to her, and now she brings that fusion to the Music Settlement's BOP STOP in Ohio City.
In her "Tis the Season to be Jazzy" Christmas-time set Gifford performs her special blend of stylings along with pianist-composer John Trzcinski, plus guest backup musicians, mixing the seasonal catalogue with riffs on Latin, Swing and Funk.
For shoppers the latest Gifford/Trzcinski's CD Release Changes will be on sale. Admission is $15.

Real World Resort Training
By Michael Lawrence
Men and women enter the contemporary dive industry on a professional level for one primary reason: Fun. Whether it's the palm trees, window-clear azure water, cavernous reefs and exciting marine life in the company of healthy, attractive people, the lure of diving in the tropics is irresistible. Fortunately, the variety of careers available is extensive. One can work as a divemaster/instructor in either a resort, cruise ship or mainland dive center; work with dive publications—such as the very one you're reading—and associated media; represent manufacturers of dive equipment in sales and marketing; offer technical support and more. If this is your dream, there is one clear prerequisite for entering the dive industry—certification.
Once you have decided to embark on a career in the dive industry on either a full- or a part-time basis, you'll need to choose an instructor school. You'll want a school with experience and a proven track record, a placement program for graduates, and a network of former students working in owner and/or management positions throughout the industry. In this, you could do no better than Divers Unlimited.
Located in sunny South Florida between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Divers Unlimited (DU) is the nation's oldest and most reputable instructor training school. A PADI Five Star Instructor Development Center, DU trains you to become an instructor for PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, the world's largest and most respected certification organization. Your PADI Open Water Instructor certification can open doors to employment opportunities around the globe. Over the past 25 years, DU has helped equip an astounding number of people to enter this exciting field, people who now work in every level of the business. You want connections? With DU, you've got 'em. Dave Inman, founder of DU, was a seminal force in the creation of dive certification and has as much experience in the field as any individual in diving.
Classroom work is conducted at the Divers Unlimited Training Center/ Underwater Careers International complex. At this well-developed facility, real-life training is the catch phrase. Instructor candidates assist in training of open-water students, live with the day to day functioning of a thriving dive store and get their feet wet in an actual dive center environment. The 4,500-square-foot facility consists of a 2,000-square-foot retail area dovetailing with a 20 by 40 foot indoor heated pool and a complex of classrooms and offices. In-water training is conducted both in this pool as well as on the reefs and wrecks found in the warm waters off the South Florida coast (an environment similar to tropical situations in which you may soon be living and working).
DU approaches instructor training with a modular approach, the Triad Program. It is a series of building blocks, levels of certifications ultimately leading to your rating as a PADI Instructor. Here's a brief overview of how it works: It is assumed you are a certified diver with a few dives under your weight belt, although Advanced Open Water Diver is preferred. The certification steps, in order, are Rescue Diver, Medic First Aid and Divemaster. Next comes the Instructor Development Course (IDC) Prep and then the IDC itself. This is followed by an Instructor Examination conducted by the folks from the PADI home office.
The Gold Instructor Program offers more extensive professional courses including Medic First Aid Instructor, Master Scuba Diver Trainer (six specialties) and Resort Instructor. The benefit? Each of these certifications increases both your attractiveness to potential employers and your earnings potential. The beauty of the Divers Unlimited approach is that given the proper prerequisites you can join in at any given level and you can do it in either a full bore or piecemeal fashion.
For the menu of services and some personal conversation concerning your particular interests, call DU directly, toll free at (888) 232-7234, or at (954) 430-3483; fax (954) 430-2757; e-mail email@example.com ; www.diversunlimited.com. You may also write to Divers Unlimited, Underwater Careers International, 10191 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines, FL 33026.

The majority of Australians don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but my Daughter's friend was born in America and so they always do. This year I made a banner for them. Yes, I know I have the banner bug, but I do find them a lot of fun.
Evidently it fitted perfectly across their mantlepiece and is still up on show now, so I guess they liked it.
The next card I want to show you was a request from a friend and she gave me the lovely little centrepiece that she wanted on it. I had bought that lovely striped paper a few weeks beforehand and had it on the floor with my Christmas papers and it just jumped up at me. Once I had chosen the background paper, the layering seemed perfect.
so now on to the Christmas bits and pieces.

I can't begin to list all the things I am thankful for..........Roger is my husband, perfectly fitted and planned for me by God years ago.
Nic is home in the shop working with his Dad.
Audrey is married to a wonderful man, and they are beginning a life together that is a blessing to those of us who are observing it.
My mother is still alive and able to spend one more Thanksgiving with us.
My sister Anita has won her battle with cancer and is 6 years away from it, and she and Cliff are going to be at my house today to celebrate this day with us.
My entire family came home this summer and we had a WONDERFUL time at Audrey and Ryan's wedding, and all the rest of the time they were here too.
I could go on and on...........but mostly, I am Thankful for Jesus, and the provision he has made for us all!

There is also a resource section that includes a Summary of Pastoral Letter|Liturgical Pack for Parishes | Resources for Schools| Resources for the Home|Notice for Parish Newsletters|Poster | Quotations
The pastoral focuses on those people and agencies
that play a key role in nurturing the faith of
children. Emphasis is placed on the witness of
love in the family as an irreplaceable foundation
out of which a child's faith can grow and be nourished.
Although the Pastoral Letter and resources focus on the situtation in Ireland, they can be helpful to those interested in faith formation of children in other countries.

My nephew is supersmart
He got into the best school in Hungary with the 6th best result
He had the best test results in 3 other top schools.
He came from a disfunctional minority family and he ended with my sister in law and brother and now he's got a chance in life. And I'm so happy for him. Without getting out of that minority I'm not sure he would have had the opportunity to show how smart and hard working he is.
You know, in Hungary if you're gipsy you'll highly likely end up as a criminal or someone uneducated very poor person living on social benefits being highly discriminated. And he was lucky enough and now he can fulfil his potential.
He's in top 3 in many national competitions in Maths, History, Chemistry, Geography, Grammar as well.
He's simply amazing 🙂 He's my fairy tale! 🙂

Miyazaki's Porco Rosso is a pleasant movie, and a beautiful cartoon. It is about a seaplane pilot in the 1920-1930s Adriatic. He is a bounty hunter in milieu of cruise ships and seaplane pirates (in Japanese, "pilot" and "pirate" are homonyms). He lives on a hidden island, drinks red wine and smokes cigarettes and loves (from afar) the beautiful owner of an island resort. Oh, yes, and he's a pig. Nose, ears, oink oink.
We get an explanation of how he became a pig in the third act, but frankly, I was being dazzled by the visuals, and it rolled off my back like ducks.
What beautiful visuals this animation has. Funky, almost steampunk seaplanes, insignificant against a background of Winslow Homer cloudscapes. Fleets of them taking off against propaganda poster smokestacks in Fascist Milan. Sky pirates all goggles and black beards, right out of Herge's Tin Tin ligne clair. I almost suspect that Miyazaki-san wanted to make a comic out of nothing but planes soaring around the sky in beautiful freedom, then added a few characters and decided to make a movie of it.
We watched the Disney dub, with Michael Keaton as the hardboiled pig, Porco Rosso. We also get Brad Garrett as no. 1 pirate boss - not well bathed, but with a fine sense of honor and rough nobility. The villain is an American who wants to kill Porco and make his name - he's voiced by Cary Elwes. I don't mind the American voices, but I hear Miyazaki-san prefers the French dub, with Jean Reno as Porco.
Even though our hero is a pig, there's a cute feminist subplot to this movie. Porco gets his plane overhauled by an aged mechanic, who turns the job over to his granddaughter, a plucky anime type girl hero. Since all of the Italian manpower is getting involved in the Fascist war effort, the crew for the overhaul is all female, and they all revel in the woman power they bring to the gig.
In conclusion, that's my second article title based on the Italian communist anthem Avanti o Populo, Bandiera Rossa. It's just a catchy tune.

Using the parent-into-F1 model of induced lupus and (C57BL/6 × DBA2) F1 mice as hosts, we compared the inherent lupus-inducing properties of the two parental strain CD4 T cells. To control for donor CD4 recognition of alloantigen, we used H-2d identical DBA/2 and B10.D2 donor T cells. We demonstrate that these two normal, nonlupus-prone parental strains exhibit two different T cell activation pathways in vivo. B10.D2 CD4 T cells induce a strong Th1/CMI pathway that is characterized by IL-2/IFN-γ expression, help for CD8 CTLs, and skewing of dendritic cell (DC) subsets toward CD8a DCs, coupled with reduced CD4 T follicular helper cells and transient B cell help. In contrast, DBA/2 CD4 T cells exhibit a reciprocal, lupus-inducing pathway that is characterized by poor IL-2/IFN-γ expression, poor help for CD8 CTLs, and skewing of DC subsets toward plasmacytoid DCs, coupled with greater CD4 T follicular helper cells, prolonged B cell activation, autoantibody formation, and lupus-like renal disease. Additionally, two distinct in vivo splenic gene-expression signatures were induced. In vitro analysis of TCR signaling revealed defective DBA CD4 T cell induction of NF-κB, reduced degradation of IκBα, and increased expression of the NF-κB regulator A20. Thus, attenuated NF-κB signaling may lead to diminished IL-2 production by DBA CD4 T cells. These results indicate that intrinsic differences in donor CD4 IL-2 production and subsequent immune skewing could contribute to lupus susceptibility in humans. Therapeutic efforts to skew immune function away from excessive help for B cells and toward help for CTLs may be beneficial.

For the last couple of days now (am ~12w)I thought I've been able to feel small baby movements really low down in my belly, on the left hand side.
It's mainly been when I've been sat down resting and definitely didn't feel like wind.
It happened again this morning, so while my DD (dear daughter) was busy eating her breakfast toast, I went upstairs and got the doppler out and there it was - the galloping horses heartbeat, in the same spot I've been experiencing the wiggles! First time I've been able to pick up the heartbeat too :)
Feeling cautiously optimistic for the first time since discovering I was pregnant... :)

NRSC plans multi-state attack tying Democrats to Abramoff: "A Democratic aide in Washington said the ethics charges Democrats have lodged against Republicans could tip the balance in other key Senate battlegrounds: In Pennsylvania, Sen. Rick Santorum (R) has faced criticism for his alleged role in the K Street Project, which aimed to purge Democratic lobbyists from Washington.
Jay Reiff, who is managing Democratic state Treasurer Bob Casey's campaign against Santorum, noted that Casey recently issued an ethics plan that would end the K Street Project and slow the "revolving door" between Capitol Hill and lobbying shops, among other provisions. Santorum's media consultant, John Brabender, said Casey is trying to deflect charges lodged against the Democrat involving a fundraiser he held in the wake of Hurricane Katrina."

This was the first wedding that our family of six has been to, and we didn't fair too well. It was a smart choice to sit at the back of the church. Gianna fell off of the pew a few minutes into the ceremony and hit her head on the pew in front of us, so she and I spent most of the wedding just outside of the door. We had a revolving set of companions back there...
Ellery (L) and Gianna (R) spent a lot of time exploring the art work.
Lincoln made a few appearances (here with Uncle Nate)
And Easton had much more fun in the hallway, climbing on all of the extra pews and chairs.
After the wedding, Quin was in heaven with her 'Baby Lincoln'. She couldn't wait to get her hands on him :) I was relieved to see that Linc didn't look like he was being tortured too much! Easton took the opportunity to torture Quin though - the moment she wasn't looking he pulled her hair ties out!
The reception took place in my uncles back yard. It was a VERY warm and humid day/night!!! The days of leisurely talking and eating at wedding receptions may be over for Jason and I. We were supposed to be the first table to eat, and Jason and I ended eating after many people had had their second helpings. The babes were very cranky (and their parents were right there with them). We were trying to balance feeding all three and keeping them happy enough not to disrupt the fun around us. Jason and I came very close to throwing in the towel and leaving before the cake was cut!
I am glad that we took a few deep breaths (and got some food in our bellies). Once the kids were able to run around, they lightened up and had fun!
After dinner was over, they loved having individual attention. (Gianna)
Our kids took over the dance floor! They were loving the huge space and all of the attention. It took them awhile to warm up to all of the people (we don't get out much!). We have our own dance parties often in our living room, but it was fun to see them out on a real dance floor showin' off their moves! Quin has a new found love for break dancing (we can blame my DVR'ed So You Think You Dance for that one), so naturally Ellery and Gianna do too. They loved that they could sit on the dance floor and spin around using their feet. All four kids are usually in bed by 8:00pm. We had to pull them off of the dance floor at 8:15. It is always a sign of good times when you have to be removed from a dance floor ;)

Some of the people who were at the District Chapter in Peru will be heading north soon. Brother Tom Giumenta and Brother Juan Tuestas will be going to Monterrey to work with the candidates. They will help them with aids for studying, tools for self-knowledge, computer skills and so forth. They will also share about the brother's vocation.
Father Fidel Ticona will be going to minister to Hispanics who are migrant workers in the area around King's College. We wish them all way!!
Hno. Juan Tuestas
Bro. Thomas Giumenta
|At supper during the first day of the chapter, the lights went out. They stayed out for quite a while. If you look closely to the left of Fr. Fidel, you will see that even Our Lady was holding a candle.
Fr. Fidel Ticona
The District of Peru Chapter was a very good and interesting experience. The men there working on many of the same issues that we work with in other parts of the Congregation: What is needed for good formation? How can we keep a spirit of community life alive? How can we be more clear in giving communal or corporate witness with our religious life and our apostolic work?
Fathers Anibal Niño and Jorge Izaguirre were elected as district councilors. Later Father David Farrell was appointed councilor and assistant district superior, with Father Jim Phalan and Brother Thomas Giumenta also appointed as councilors.
|Father Bud Colgan speaks at the closing of the District Chapter.
|Father Bob Kruse, who was visiting, looks to see where he should sign his name on the document as a visitor. Bob has been helping Father Jorge Izaguirre with his English.
|The men sign the chapter acts. Bro. Sergio Stolz takes it all in.
|The group photo of all who were at the chapter, except Father Fidel Ticano, who took the picture.
After the chapter, a number of men went to San José House in Canto Bello in Lima. After a delicious dinner of Chifa (Chinese food), David Farrell took Bud Colgan, Bob Baker, and John Korcsmar on a tour of the new--almost finished Centro Patricio Peyton CSC. This is a large, three story building with an amphitheater, chapel, dining room, kitchen, offices, courtyard, basketball\soccer\volleyball court. It has classrooms, media rooms, offices, rooms for small discussion groups. It will be dedicated this coming June.

As you may remember from my last blog post Miss Hayley Paige is one of my favourite wedding dress designers. Wait? You haven't read that post yet? Okay, well, read it here….I can wait 🙂
Welcome back!! Today I want to do a spotlight piece on a woman who has taken the bridal industry by storm. A charming, beautiful, accomplished designer whose designs have been worn by the likes of Chrissy Teigan, Olivia Wilde and other socialites and famous trendsetters, Hayley Paige creates chic and glamorous gowns for the fashion forward bride.
Hayley's career in fashion began when she interned at Elle magazine while still attending Cornell University. Her big break came after a show at Cornell where she displayed 10 dresses from her bridal collection. Jill Stuart, who attended the show, went to Hayley immediately after and gave her a job on the spot. From there she moved on to become an integral designer working for Melissa Sweet on her bridal and bridesmaid collection. She was also the primary designer behind the first Marchesa Eterna bridal collection at Priscilla of Boston. In 2011 Hayley's dream became reality when she was brought into JLM Couture where they backed and funded her own collection
There are many words used to describe Hayley's style like fairytale, chic, feminine, and in her own words "playful juxtapositions". One important part of her creative process is the naming of each of her gowns. It provides them with their own unique personality and helps to focus on the individuality of each bride. One such dress is the Guindon which Hayley says provided a brand defining moment as she watched it go down the runway in the Spring 2013 show.
When Hayley herself got engaged it was anyone's guess what fantastical wonder she would design for her own wedding. Well, she didn't disappoint because with her own wedding she proved once again the unique aesthetic that is Hayley Paige by taking risks and pushing the envelope stylistically by not only designing one dress but designing 5 spectacular dresses that she wore throughout her wedding weekend in Lake Tahoe.
Calling all star-crossed lovers! Inspiration for the most recent bridal collection, you will actually find hidden constellations and scattered galaxies among the Hayley Paige gowns this season. For the new collection, the description on the JLM Couture site couldn't have possibly said it any better…. "embraces femininity with a touch of edginess. Alluring contrasts are glimpsed in pairings like twinkle and matte, giving each dress an unmistakable charisma that enhances the bride's own captivating charm. Balance is found in the union of textured details such as hand appliquéd lace and flutters of sheer fabric, evoking a feeling of whimsical refinement".
For true insight into what makes Hayley….so…Hayley, it's best to hear from the woman herself..
I hope you've enjoyed the first Designer Spotlight. There will be more in the future. Please let me know if there is a specific designer you want to see in the Spotlight!
Lovely Wedding Stuff

Washington – regarding the future of African Americans in the United States.
Other speakers include Maurice Hobson, Managing Director, University of Massachusetts at Amherst W.E.B. Du Bois Center, and Robert Paynter, professor of anthropology, University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The Just-Now Choir of the Clinton A. M. E.

"When the families scattered from Babel, they each took different combinations of genes with them. In such small populations, trivial differences (such as skin color) can arise quickly in only a few generations. Even evolutionists admit this is true. But different shades of skin and slightly different genetic traits are trivial and do not constitute different 'races.'" Carl Kerby, Answers in Genesis
Acts 17:26 And He has made from one tblood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and tthe boundaries of their dwellings

This is a bit late but has only now been brought to my attention. I have only two excuses for my tardiness. Anything to do with the EU provokes an allergic reaction in me and I tend to shun it. Also I have the organisational abilities of a demented hamster and so anything to do with diaries is outwith my skill set.
We are aware of how the EU has made largely successful attempts to deny Europe's Christian heritage. Yet again they betray their de-Christianising inclinations. This time in the production of a diary.
The European commission produced more than three million copies of an EU diary for secondary school children. British schools received more than 300,000 copies of the diaries, accompanied by 51 pages of information about the European Union, as gifts to pupils from the EU Commission.
An innocuous enough propaganda exercise one would suppose, and I am sure the children appreciate the gift you have given them through your taxes. However, whilst the euro calendar recognises a wide range of other religious festivals, showing Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Chinese festivities as well as Europe Day and other key EU anniversaries, no Christian festivals are included.
Christmas and Easter may be national holidays across the continent but are clearly not as important as Eid or Ramadan. The diary section for 25 December is blank, the bottom of the page being marked with the secular message, "A true friend is someone who shares your concerns and will double your joy."
Even the response of the Commission to objections is illustrative of the Commission's mindset. A spokesman had the good grace to describe the diary as a "blunder". However, he also said that rather than Christian festivals being included in any future editions, all references to religious holidays might be removed "to avoid any controversy".

The Star Online: Lifestyle: Bookshelf
Children Of The Jacaranda Tree
CHILDREN Of The Jacaranda Tree is a novel with a great weight of history attached to it. This much is made explicit by the author's note that accompanied the proof copies, telling readers that this is "an attempt ... to shed light on this dark moment in Iranian history, on its tales of violence, prison and death ... to give voice not only to the victims of this atrocity but also to the ordeal of their families and their children".
The "dark moment" is 1988, when thousands, or tens of thousands, of political prisoners were assassinated in Iran; their number included Sahar Delijani's uncle. Her parents were fortunate to have been released from prison prior to the "purge".
At the start of the novel it seems that Delijani has placed too great a pressure on herself to find the language and structure to relate such a terrible tale.
The first chapter tells the story of a political prisoner giving birth in Tehran's Evin prison, knowing that her child will soon be taken away from her. The language is too overheated to be convincing, and there are a confusing number of character names mentioned – several women prisoners, their unseen relatives, a male guard.
Many of these characters play, at most, a minor role, and the author's lack of control seems the most obvious explanation.
But as the book continues, it becomes apparent that there is a clear purpose behind the naming.
Each chapter tells the story of a different person connected to that original prison cell, and every named character from the first chapter becomes significant, directly or through their children, at some point in the book.
At the centre of the web of connections are three women prisoners – Azar, who gives birth in prison; Firoozeh, who is known to have turned informant in exchange for prison privileges; Parisa, who has one child growing up outside prison and is pregnant with a second.
Through these women and their families a narrative emerges that is more effective than one that cleaves to an individual.
The pain of women prisoners who have to give up their children; the pain of parents and sisters who don't know what is happening to those they love who are imprisoned; the pain of letting go of the nephews and nieces you've been raising, when their mothers are finally released from prison; the pain of suppressing the truth; the pain of discovering the truth; the pain of leaving Iran, the pain of staying and the pain of return: all these are held within these linked stories.
The novel is at its best with the stories of the younger generation – the children who spent their childhoods separated from their imprisoned parents.
Some of them have moved away from Iran, others have stayed, but the ties that bind them to each other and to their country remain strong.
It is this second generation that takes to the streets in Iran's "green revolution" of 2009 and faces the violent reprisals that follow.
In the final chapter, Neda – who was the baby whose birth opens the novel – is in Italy, the country that has become her home, along with an Iranian man, Reza, who has recently arrived in Turin.
The fascination and slight edge of guilt with which an expatriate approaches someone who has continued to be part of their shared nation's history is well evoked, as is the moment when Reza speaks of his shock at the regime's brutality and Neda's response is anger – "Your worst nightmares came true twenty-three years ago", she wants to shout at him.
Although the English-speaking world may be the first readers of this novel, it seems clear that Delijani's more immediate concern is with reminding Iranians (expatriate or otherwise) of their own history – this is not an "explaining Iran to those who don't know it" book, but something far more visceral.
Though there are immigrants in this novel, it doesn't follow the familiar trajectory of characters escaping a place of brutality for the safety of the West – characters flee to Italy, Germany and America, but it is always Iran that remains central.
In the safety of a Turin cafe, when Neda hears Reza talk about the green revolution, instead of feeling gratitude for being in a place of greater security, she feels "a shiver of envy at the thought of him having been there, having partaken in that moment when history turned".
It makes her question her own right to "tell any story, speak of any memory that is larger than that". But by the time the book draws to a close, with far greater power than it opened, Delijani has done the work of showing us how those stories and memories are all entwined, and should never be forgotten. – Guardian News & Media
ANOTHER Avengers title? Doesn't Marvel publish, like, a thousand other books with "Avengers" in the title already? At last count, they already had (deep breath) Avengers, Secret Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, New Avengers, Avengers AI, Young Avengers, Avengers Arena and Avengers Assemble in their current lineup.
Well, here's another one featuring the World's Mightiest Heroes (though at this rate, there won't be anyone left as Earth's-not-as-mighty-heroes) – Mighty Avengers.
Tying in with the ongoing Infinity event, which sees the original Avengers team (the one with no adjectives) heading to deep space to fend off the world-killing Builders, this new title focuses on the battle on Earth against Thanos.
You see, the blue-skinned Titan has set his sights on destroying this insignificant little planet that has given him so much trouble in the past, and according to him "has no Avengers".
Well, think again, big blue man, because the adjective-free Avengers may be out of reach, but that doesn't mean that there are no Avengers around.
While Mighty Avengers happily sees the return of Luke Cage as the leader of a new Avengers team, the first issue doesn't exactly start out that way. After quitting the Avengers to take care of his family, Cage has decided to restart his old Heroes For Hire business, roping in teenage heroes and former Avengers Academy students White Tiger and the new Power Man (Cage being the old Power Man).
Before you can say "Sweet Christmas!" the team is already falling apart before it even begins, with Spider-Man (still the "superior" Otto Octavius version, I'm afraid) showing up and convincing White Tiger to leave Cage's "band of mercenaries".
On the other side of town, former Captain Marvel/Photon/Pulsar Monica Rambeau apprehends a B-list villain called Blue Streak, and reveals that she is now called Spectrum.
So far, so easy to understand, but then of course, DISASTER STRIKES! Thanos' henchman Proxima Midnight shows up in New York (because every self-respecting alien invader knows New York is where you should always start your invasion) and starts destroying stuff and killing people.
So of course our heroes have to do something – and the Mighty Avengers are born, consisting of Cage, Spectrum, Spider-man and the, er ... Splendiferous Spider Hero (don't ask)!
Writer Al Ewing does a great job of keeping the tone light throughout the title, which is a huge change from the serious doom and gloom of most of the other Avengers/Infinity tie-ins. Cage has always been one of the most charismatic characters in the Avengers roster, and having him and the pompous Spider-Ock on the same team should yield some entertaining results.
Though Specrum's presence left me a little cold, it should be interesting to see who that mysterious "Spider Hero" guy is (well, he's supposed to be the new Ronin, but who is the new Ronin anyway?). All in all, a solid debut issue by Ewing.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said of Greg Land's art. It doesn't matter if it is a fight scene or a quiet chat in a cafe – Land draws the characters as if they are posing for the cover of a fashion magazine in every single panel. And don't get me started on their expressions; some of the characters' eyes and smiles look about as fake and soulless as Tom Hanks' performance-captured characters in The Polar Express.
Fortunately, Ewing's story and writing are good enough to give Luke Cage and his team a reasonably good start, and helps to distract from the weak art. With She-Hulk, Blue Marvel and The Falcon also joining in the future, the title does have some mighty fine potential. I just wish they had gotten someone else to draw the darn book instead.
BRITISH author Mark Billingham's talent for sculpting intensely dark police procedurals complements his skill at pinpointing believable contemporary nightmares.
At the helm is Detective Inspector Tom Thorne, a good cop, an insightful investigator and often a loose cannon, going off on his own hunches. That he often is right still doesn't sit right with his supervisors. But Billingham uses Tom more as a mirror reflecting the changing times, the horrors that can seep into daily lives when least expected.
Billingham also is never afraid to shake up Tom's personal life and career as he does in his 11th novel in this series.
In The Dying Hours, Tom has crossed the line once too often and he is put back in uniform – "the Queen's Cloth" – and demoted down to Inspector.
The uniform is not a good fit. His depression over being "slapped down" erupts at work and at home where he lives with Det Sgt Helen Weeks and her 18-month-old son. Tom no longer has the power he did when he headed a homicide squad. His former colleagues show him little respect and his cases seem to be routine.
But Tom sees nothing usual about the apparent suicide of an elderly couple. He believes they were murdered, but no one will believe him even when he links the couple to other suicides of the elderly.
His supervisors dismiss Tom's theories, saying that it is not uncommon for old people to end their lives, especially those who are ill and without families. But each of these people was healthy and had loved ones, even if some families lived far away. Tom gets reluctant help from former colleagues Det Sgt Dave Holland and Det Insp Yvonne Kitson and pathologist Phil Hendricks, but even they don't believe him.
Tom's new position gives Billingham a heady advantage to find new avenues to explore in this character.The Dying Hours forces Tom to work even more as a solo agent, to rely on his own ideas and to reevaluate his own role as a cop. Tom is accustomed to closing cases, to being "a glory hunter", and begins to wonder if that is the only reason why he is a cop. He also looks at his role as a person. The murdered people were each mourned by their families. Will his relationship with Helen last? Will anyone care if he dies?
The Dying Hours' relentless pace doesn't slow down until the last word, proving why Billingham continues to be a bestseller around the world. – Sun Sentinel/ McClatchy-Tribune Information Services

Happy Friday Folks,
Yesterday's post had a couple of gems in it. Specifically "The Great Llama Escape" and 5 cups of coffee. I don't know how I'm ever going to top myself. I mean I came up with the whole manne-vamp idea awhile back.
I don't know where these things come from. Like I've said, I have a goofy sense of humor and sometimes things just pop into my head and I think, "Wow, that's actually hilarious." Other times I wonder if I try too hard.
This time, the Gem Award (something I've made up for those who come up with something so cool, so funny, quirky and fun that I just have to give it recognition...hence, the Quirky Gem Award) goes to my friend, Ryan. He suggested "a story about Pious Monk Ninja Kitties" So I absolutely have to give him credit for that. He gets a Quirky Gem Award.
So...now, I'm opening this up to everyone. In the comment section of this post come up with the quirkiest, goofiest, funniest idea you can either for a story or a saying (pertaining to writing or a story idea) and I'll post it on my blog (in the margin on your right-hand side as you look at this blog). I'm going to call it The Quirky Gem Awards and I'll credit you. I'm closing entries by 6 PM Central Standard Time (on today, Friday, May 21, 2010), so be sure to get them in. (If you're a little late getting in your entry, don't worry...I'll look at the time stamp and give a grace period).
This is your chance to be your quirkiest, goofiest, funniest best. Take advantage of it! It'll one of those rare moments people will actually applaud you for being quirky!
And if it's really popular I'll pick someone for a Quirky Gem Award every week. But it depends on how many people comment how often I give this award :-)
Have A Funny Friday!
