World War Z, Brad Pitt To Return and Produce Sequel
Director: Marc Forster
Writers: Matthew Michael Carnahan, Drew Goddard, Damon Lindelof, J. Michael Straczynski
Release Date: June 21, 2013
After the incredible success of World War Z, Brad Pitt reels in on a sequel.
The Zombie Action-Adventure-Horror film released in 2013 and was directed by Marc Forster, written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Drew Goddard, Damon Lindelof, and J. Michael Straczynski. Based on the novel by Max Brooks.
Life for former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane and his family seems content. Suddenly, the world is plagued by a mysterious infection turning whole human populations into rampaging mindless zombies.
After barely escaping the chaos, Lane is persuaded to go on a mission to investigate this disease. What follows is a perilous trek around the world where Lane must brave horrific dangers and long odds to find answers before human civilization falls.
World War Z did extremely well in sales in the opening weekend, with almost $67,000,000 in domestic sales, grossing over $200,000,000, and over $540,000,000 in lifetime gross sales. It became the #2 rank in over 3,600 theaters.*
The Zombie-epidemic film won three awards, including Saturn Award for "Best Thriller Film", ASCAP Award for "Top Box Office Films", and MTV Movie Award for "Best Scared-As-Shit Performance".
Brad Pitt starred the lead role as Gerry Lane in Marc Forster's film, and he has made it clear that he wants a sequel. After a tremendously successful first film and an outstanding performance, a sequel is definitely in order.
Pitt had his eyes on J.A. Baytona to direct the sequel. Unfortunately, Baytona became wrapped up with Jurassic World. Now, Pitt has his eyes set on David Fincher.
Of course, Pitt and Fincher have worked together before. Fight Club, Se7en, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. So, I can see why he is hoping that Fincher will direct the sequel to the zombie film over the other directors he's met with.
Not to mention that the Director/Producer is extremely talented and has built his repertoire tremendously. His films have won countless awards. The Social Network was also a sensation.
World War Z has a rumored release date of June 9, 2017. However, after losing Baytona, and Fincher still not decided, the film's release could possibly be delayed. Stay tuned for more updates.

"Cowboy Ted" Hallisey, who has spent over 15 years using his cowboy persona to teach children it's fun to be healthy, says he's stepping up to be a role model in an age when so many high-profile figures are either refusing to be one, or are setting negative examples for our children.
The Mission Statement
Cowboy Ted's stated mission is, "To introduce young people to positive role models, who encourage youngsters to choose a healthy lifestyle for themselves, including the choice to refuse to use tobacco products."
His goal is to reach over one million children and make a positive impact on their lives. The CDC reports that suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24, with over 5,000 suicides being reported each year. Cowboy Ted says he wants to do his part to eradicate those numbers by connecting with children and engaging them in a positive message. By using various platforms to cater to a variety of ages and learning styles, he intimately reaches more individuals to let them know they are seen and valued. He has already touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, and is actively working to expand his reach.
Positive Example for Kids
He fills his mission statement by focusing on these eight concepts of health:
He teaches these positive concepts in fun, creative ways to motivate his audience to move and stay active. He is helping kids build a life-long foundation of health and wellness through quick and easy-to-do activities that can be incorporated into their daily lives. Even adults can benefit from the lessons he shares, whether how to stretch your back while watching TV to avoid becoming a couch potato, or spelling the alphabet with your wrists to keep the muscles loose and the tendons supple to avoid carpel tunnel syndrome.
Special Guest for School Assemblies and More
Cowboy Ted meets children where they are spending their time—in school, at home, and online. He works with schools, giving 45-minute assembly presentations, offering after-school programs, and, most recently, launching an online TV show series called Cowboy Ted 101. In addition, he has developed an Internet TV show for families called The Cowboy Ted Show, and written books that promote his message.
His shows feature short segments on fun and healthy activities kids can implement immediately and encourages young people to spend more time outside. He offers both a free portal and a low-cost paid subscription to his frequent videos and creative tips for healthier living. He is available for special appearance at birthday parties, television and radio features, and more. You can visit his website or call today for more information on how he can serve you, your school, your community and your family.

Move over Avengers! 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' will make you root for the "villains" to save the planet!
It was in October 2015, after the release of Godzilla (2014), when Legendary Entertainment announced its plan to create a shared universe franchise which will feature famous monsters like Godzilla, King Kong, King Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan. The universe, which was titled MonsterVerse, has had two main entries until now, namely Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island (2017). The trailer for the next entry, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, was released at the San Diego Comic Con.
The trailer starts off with Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) standing on a roof top when a catastrophic event takes place.
The trailer then starts showing off and teasing the many giant monsters the movie features, while Dr Emma Russell, played by Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring, Bates Motel), warns us about the end of the world. During an address being aired on TV, she says,
"Unless all the titans are found, our planet will perish, and so will we."
The titans being the monsters that have been in hibernation, but will have to return in order to save planet Earth. The important question to ask here is: how do giant monsters that are usually the reason behind human extinction actually play a part in saving all of humanity?
I guess we will have to wait for the movie to release to get the answer to this question.
The trailer gives us our first glimpse of Mothra. We also get to see and hear Godzilla, while only getting an unclear look at his ultimate rival, King Ghidorah, who spreads his wings in a huge cloud of smoke.
The trailer looks spectacular and more visually pleasing than the previous instalments of the MonsterVerse. The movie looks more similar to the dark toned Godzilla (2014) than the lighter and more fun Kong: Skull Island. But hopefully Godzilla: King of the Monsters will allow Godzilla to have more screen time than it got in the prequel. In the 2014 offering, Godzilla, the titular character, only had eight minutes of screen time, which is 6.5% of the total runtime of the movie. Yes, you read that right! Just 6.5%!
The movie also stars Kyle Chandler (King Kong, Friday Night Lights), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) and Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley).
The reason why I am so excited to watch this flick is that we get to see Godzilla take on King Ghidorah the way it was meant to be. No stuntmen wearing rubber suits and fighting in a childish manner, while surrounded by props that double as buildings. State of the art computer wizardry will be put into play to make sure we get the face off we all deserve. Also, Godzilla: King of the Monsters will directly tie into King Kong Vs Godzilla, which will release in 2020, and this only furthers my excitement.
The MonsterVerse is two movies old and although that isn't much, it hasn't disappointed the audience yet, and I am sure it won't happen in the near future as well. With a talented cast, mythical and world-renowned monsters and mesmerising visuals, Godzilla: King of the Monsters will surely prove itself to be the king at the box office.
The movie releases on May 31, 2019.

Danielle and Rachel.
The quick reactions of an eighth grader at Walton Central School prevented a potentially tragic situation. What seemed like a normal afternoon on the bus of driver Dave Edwards, turned into a bit of panic when first grader Danielle Miller started to choke on a piece of candy that had become lodged in her throat. Shouts of students behind him came on a frantic pace of "She's choking! She's choking!" Looking back, Edwards said he saw the young student in the middle of the aisle with what he described as a blank look. Knowing that eighth-grader Rachel Trimbell is certified in CPR and first aid and a member of the Walton Fire Department Explorer Post, Edwards shouted to the back for Rachel to help as he secured the bus. Rachel had to spring to action, though, as about seven rows separated her from Danielle. "I just wanted to help her," said Rachel, a humble 14-year-old who blushed when talking about the situation. "She was scared. Her eyes were wide and she was gasping. You could tell she was choking." By the time Edwards got to the spot in the bus, Rachel had already jumped into action and had performed the Heimlich maneuver. She said she thought it was about the fifth try when the candy became dislodged and everything seemed to be back to normal. "I knew it would be scary," said Rachel, who noted she had just been re-certified a week before this happened. "I freaked out more after the fact just because of the fact that I did it." Once things settled and Edwards started the bus on its normal route, the two sat with one another. "Not only did Rachel save a possible worse situation, but she sat with Danielle to comfort her and make sure she was OK," Edwards said. About a week later, Rachel visited Danielle at Townsend Elementary. A shy smile came across Danielle's face and the seven-year old sat close to Rachel as they talked about the incident. A strawberry Starburst that was "hard as a rock" was the culprit, Danielle said. She also noted she likely wouldn't be eating those candies again any time soon. She smiled at Rachel and when asked what she thought when she looked at Rachel, she simply said "happiness" and then thanked her. The two have sat together on the bus since the incident and Danielle noted she has a best friend in Rachel. And it turns out that the two share something else – Danielle's teacher is Robin Wagner, who Rachel also had when she was in first grade. As Danielle walked back to class, she clutched Rachel's hand as they brought Danielle back to class.

The Water Conservation Program was designed to foster the construction of wells, farm ponds, lakes and "other devices" that could conserve water in Kansas. This pamphlet, published by the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee, outlines the procedures for requesting water conservation work and the details of undertaking such projects (such as how to borrow the necessary equipment, etc.). All the labor involved in these projects would be provided by laborers on the work relief rolls.

This source fills a gap in the source material, since few of the sources deal with water conservation.

Adult ADHD is seldom recognised in primary care, because the symptoms may overlap with other disorders such as anxiety and depression.
In addition, many people do not realise that in the vast majority of cases, the symptoms of ADHD do not completely disappear after childhood. Approximately 4% of adults are estimated to have ADHD.
Just like individuals suffering from anxiety and depression, undiagnosed adults can be vulnerable to substance abuse, and a range of symptoms that can be very disruptive on employment, study and relationships. These might include:
- Difficulties in concentrating and focusing attention;
- Being late for appointments;
- Not judging the passing of time very well, resulting in difficulties in time management (things don't get done in time);
- Being highly disorganised (paperwork, bills, assignments etc);
- Constantly misplacing things;
- Running out of energy and therefore motivation;
- Crashing on the weekend through exhaustion;
- Irritability in relationships;
- Impulsivity – saying or doing things in social situations which may cause embarrassment; and
- Road rage, to name just a few.
CBT for Anxiety and Adult ADHD
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is useful in the treatment of both anxiety, and Adult ADHD. However I use a specially created form of CBT, purposely designed for Adults with ADHD.
In addition I utilise a memory, time and organisational skills kit specifically designed for individuals with ADHD, as conventional time and organisation management programs are usually not as successful with this particular group of people.
This combination of CBT along with skills aimed at adults with ADHD, can restore relationships, very significantly enhance the capacity for study or taking on more challenging work, and turn a disorganised life into one that works practically.
In addition, low self-esteem and self-doubt can become a thing of past, as confidence grows that the individual with ADHD can master an ordinary life, with all its demands and challenges.

Their comments came in the wake of the recent "Diwali debacle" as the country's leading online retailers appeared to overreach themselves during the country's peak shopping season and were forced to apologise to consumers for late delivery or, in some cases, non-delivery.
"The single weakest link to the growth of ecommerce business in India in the next three years is the inadequacy of the logistics, and the last-mile link," Arvind Singhal, chairman of retail consultancy Technopak, told the Financial Times.
His remarks were echoed by Jaspreet Bindra, the former head of Microsoft India and now an angel investor. "Logistics is still in its infancy here, and we've got ecommerce coming in and galloping," he said. "Companies themselves haven't really paid as much attention to their supply chain as they should."
Online retailers have invested in warehouse and delivery in the major metros, but much of the explosive growth in the sector is coming in lower tier cities and rural areas, fuelled by the spread of low-cost smartphones enabling internet access for a greater number of people.
"Things need to start happening now," warned Chris Buckthorpe, chief of strategy for Indian delivery company GATI-KWE. "Otherwise, in the next three to five years, the industry is going to potentially grind to a halt."
Buckthorpe added that ecommerce companies needed to rethink their relationship with logistics businesses and move away short-term thinking based on price to develop long-term partnerships.
"If ecommerce companies are trying to manage an overall end-to-end customer experience, they need to engage with the logistics providers more directly in the planning and process development," he said.
While logistics businesses are optimistic about the future, they face a potentially significant challenge from a reinvigorated postal service.
IT and Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad is due to meet the heads of Amazon India and Flipkart in the next few days to discuss how India Post, with its extensive rural network, can meet the needs of ecommerce players.
Postmen could also be incentivised to ensure timely deliveries of goods ordered online.

Making Tax Digital – An update
HMRC has announced significant changes to the roll-out of its Making Tax Digital scheme, which was due to go live from April 2018.
Following feedback and concerns about the broad scope and short timescales from various bodies, the scope and timetable have now been pared back
- Only businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold will have to keep digital records and only for VAT purposes. They will only need to do so from 2019.
- Businesses will not be asked to keep digital records or update HMRC quarterly for other taxes until at least 2020, instead of 2018 as originally proposed.
- Small businesses will be able to file digitally on a voluntary basis for other taxes.
We believe this is the right decision as it is essential that businesses and the accounting industry are given adequate time to adapt to new methods of compliance record-keeping.

Gas prices dropped nationally for the fifth week in a row, says the US Energy Information Administration. We're now paying an average of $3.70 a gallon, down from $3.94 recorded on April 2nd. Analysts have even backed off on their months-ago predictions of 5 dollars-plus per gallon by summer.
But you're paying 20 cents more a gallon for gas when you speed, say experts.
Drivers can assume that each 5 MPH they drive above 60 MPH is like paying an additional 20 cents a gallon, according to the Governor's Highway Safety Association (GHSA). Additionally, aggressive highway behavior such as speeding, rapid acceleration and braking can lower gas mileage by a whopping 33% at highway speeds and 5% around town.
Truckers, whose profit margin is affected by the cost of gas, have eased up on the gas pedal, reports say, with many traveling at or below the speed limit. But economics aren't the only reason drivers should develop a soft-pedal approach. In addition to helping fight the cost of record-high gas prices, slowing down also increases the likelihood of surviving a crash.
"I try to remember to slow down," says Eduardo Rodriguez of Upper Manhattan. "But today, it's always hurry, hurry, hurry everywhere you go. Everybody's gotta be there yesterday, and if you do the legal speed limit of 55 or 60 MPH, people tailgate you or beep their horn. You can't obey the law even if you want to without getting grief on the highway."
Even a small reduction in speed can have a big impact on lives saved. In a report published in the Transportation Research Record, author Rune Elvik found that a 1 percent decrease in travel speed reduces injury crashes by about 2 percent, serious injury crashes by about 3 percent and fatal crashes by about 4 percent. These reductions are critically needed, traffic safety experts say, as speeding remains a serious highway safety problem.
"Given the extremely high gas prices and life-saving benefits of slowing down, we urge the public to ease off the accelerator," says GHSA Chairman Christopher J. Murphy.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan on Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil coalition: 'Never is the word rather than ever'
Finance Minister Michael Noonan has categorically said that he won't go into Government with Fianna Fáil.
Noonan was speaking on Morning Ireland this morning in a head to head debate with Fianna Fail's spokesperson on Public Expenditure and Reform Seán Fleming.
When asked by radio presenter Cathal Mac Coille if he would do business with Seán Fleming, Mr Noonan said: "Never is the word rather than ever."
He said: "No, I mean anyone who has a €1.2bn hole in their manifesto and still defends it when it's self-evident that such a hole exists, I couldn't do business with somebody like that."
Equally, Mr Fleming retorted that Fianna Fáil had no interest in joining forces with Fine Gael for a Coalition.
"The answer is clear, we won't be part of the Government with Fine Gael."
Last week, launching the Fine Gael manifesto, the leader ruled out a coalition with Fianna Fail despite a slip in the latest opinion polls as the election campaign passed the halfway point.

Drug worth over Rs 8 crore seized
Mumbai: City police have seized 84 kg of contraband drug amphetamine worth Rs 8.40 crore from a courier company in suburban Andheri.
Police said that the consignment, hidden in boxes below packets of tattoo stickers, was supposed to be sent to Malaysia.
"We had inputs that a huge consignment of amphetamine would be sent through S B International courier in Andheri on September 25 to Malaysia," an ANC official said.
Accordingly, officials raided the place and recovered 84 kg of the drug that was hidden below layers of tattoo stickers. The drug is worth Rs 8.40 crore in the international market, police said. They are now looking for the consignor of the parcel.
Asked whether the courier agency knew about the contents of the parcel beforehand, a senior official said, "Our primary probe suggested that the company did not know the content. Although, we have kept the investigations open and more will come out once we arrest the sender."

About Us
I'm Susan O'Connor - a Glasgow-based Irish artist with a passion for glass. I started making Pools of Light because all the Christmas decorations I looked at were really chintzy or too paired back - I wanted to hang something from my tree that was festive without looking like a tea cosy.
"I'm blown away by how gorgeous the decorations are. It's only 1 November but I'm already looking forward to putting up a Christmas tree. The packaging is really lovely too - perfect for gifts. Love them!" - Vanessa Carswell, Dublin, via Facebook.
"I ordered the set of ornaments to share amongst my Australian family. . . as soon as I saw these designs and the concept behind them I just knew they would be perfect for this years giving. My instinct was right - the presentation box is wonderful and the actual quality of the glass ornaments high . . . I agree with being 'blown away' by these decorations" - Sophia Cherry, Australia, via Facebook.
Have a look through my collections and see how I can help your Christmas be a little more beautiful.

The visit is guided and has an approximate duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes. For reasons of conservation, there is a maximum quota of 6 people per session. It is advisable to book by email or phone calling to (0034) 9126.96.36.199 and online purchases at least one day in advance, according to availability. The visitor reception centre is located next to the football field, located at the entrance of Riclones. Where the pedestrian path to the cavity is flooded by the reservoir of Palombera, the visit will be cancelled.
The pedestrian access to the cave is formed by a forest track and another pedestrian path, with a certain degree of difficulty in transit. Both sections are performed on foot, in an estimated time interval of around 30 minutes. By the natural morphology of the cave, the first 15 meters must be crawling by a low altitude pass. For this reason, it's neccesary the use of helmets and knee pads during the visit wich will be distributed by the Guide.
For reasons of conservation the cave does not have artificial lighting. The visit is carried out with flashlights. These are provided by the Guide at the start of the visit. During the visit the use of comfortable footwear that does not slip and outerwear is recommended.

Welcome Back to the Labyrinth
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Winging It
The whole thing began when I grew bored reading the same books to her each night and began to elaborate on them, usually incorporating monsters who like to devour little girls. This wasn't the only monster I created. Ever since then, Elena is no longer satisfied with having a story read to her; now she only wants 'Daddy's made-up stories.' This is really cool, except that the pressure to be entertaining and creative each night is really beginning to tax my limited ability to ad-lib and I'm beginning to get stage-fright at bed time. It kind of reminds me of my early days as a game master (don't tell me you didn't see a segue coming).
When I first discovered D&D I was possibly the worst game master ever to cower behind a screen. I always chuckle when I see lists of mistakes that bad DM's make because I've been guilty of nearly all of them. As I've mentioned previously, my very first D&D session, in which I attempted to run Keep on the Borderlands, was a disaster as I tried to cope with rules I didn't really understand, an adventure that overwhelmed me with details that I felt I had to get right, and a table full of my friends who just sat there and looked at me like I was mental. I'd like to say that I improved greatly after that first session, but I didn't, and as much as I loved being the DM for the creative outlet it gave me, I dreaded actually sitting down at the table and running the game.
It wasn't until more than a year later, with a different game system, that I began the transformation into something resembling a competent game master. In June of 1981 I was at The Wizard's Corner, my local game shop in search of a present to buy myself for my birthday (a habit I continue to this day) and I was perusing a rack of micro-games by Metagaming, and noticed one called Melee, written by some guy named Steve Jackson. I'd already bought quite a few of these cool little wargames in the cardboard pocket box, and this one looked neat, so it became my self-bestowed birthday present. Melee, for those unfamiliar with it, was a tactical combat game where each player would make up a warrior character and then duel on an arena map. I loved it. I quickly bought the companion game, Wizard, which was the same game but allowed you to fight wizard duels. With the two games together you could even pit a warrior against a wizard. I spent the majority of that summer fighting duels with my friends and, when they were away on family vacations, with myself. Later that year, I upgraded to the Advanced Melee and Advanced Wizard rules and shortly thereafter bought In the Labyrinth, which combined with Advanced Melee and Wizard to transform a simple board-game into a full-fledged roleplaying game, called The Fantasy Trip, albeit a rudimentary one.
My mind was now completely focused on the story - the rules just faded into the background. I could adjudicate player's actions in fun and novel ways without worrying that I was 'doing it wrong,' and I was spontaneously creating interesting NPCs, some of which stick out in my mind to this day. One such character was Malcolm Brinebester, the king's tax collector who always had a sixth sense for when the characters were back from a lucrative adventure. Where the characters fearlessly faced down the worst horrors I could throw at them, they lived in mortal fear of fussy little Malcolm, whom I always enacted with a prissy falsetto voice. Whenever they saw him coming down the lane or heard them calling outside their door, they'd dive out the rear windows, hide in bushes, or otherwise lay low until he went on his way. Sometimes there was no avoiding him and they had to render undo Malcolm that which was His Majesty's. I just made Malcolm up on the spot and he became one of the campaign's most endearing characters (to me, at least). Playing TFT was also the first time I actually had fun being a game master. It taught me that rules weren't really all that important and that dwelling too much on playing the game 'right' would ensure that you would end up playing it wrong.
My friends were less enamored of TFT than I was. The characters were pretty rudimentary, and the players preferred to have more mechanics to flesh the characters out. I tried to explain to them that lack of rules meant that they were unfettered in how they could define and envision their characters - this was an opportunity to really have fun with them without worrying about breaking the rules. But, in the end, players want crunch. It's almost inevitable.
In 1983 I met Steve Jackson at a convention. I got to chat with him about role playing games and mentioned that I loved how easy TFT was to play, but that the players would have liked more options for character creation. He just smiled and said, "let me tell you about an idea I have for a new game..." A few months later I received a play test copy of Man to Man, the combat system for what would become GURPS.
So, my early deficiencies as a game master were due, in part, to my inability to handle a rules-heavy game system. It must seem ludicrous for me to call AD&D rules-heavy; by today's standards it is quite a simple game. But to me, at that time, it was more game than I could handle. Ironically, I went on to become a Champions fanatic, but I was able to take the lessons in ad-libbing that I learned playing TFT, and apply them to anything. But, there is no getting away from it: the more complex a game's rules are, the more they are going to intrude into your play. Sometimes complex, crunchy games are a lot of fun to play, but most of the time, especially these days, I want my rules to fade into the background and let spotlight shine on the play and the character interactions.
My TFT books are long gone, but the fond memories remain. I find, though, that I'm getting the same sort of vibe from Swords & Wizardry that I did from TFT and I look forward to being able to run some seat of the pants sessions again after a decade spent buried under a heavy mountain of 3E books. I predict that this game is going to provide me with more fun behind the screen than I have had in over twenty five years. Its about damned time.
I might even become a better bed-time story teller.

I never had a chance to play The Fantasy Trip, but GURPS dominated my gaming life back in the 90's. I had 300+ GURPS source books at one time. Now I have about 30 or so.
I can well understand the need of a rules lite game as a game master. I can also understand players who want options and powers for their characters. In the end it is hard to compromise and find a happy medium. I think players miss the point that if the GM is freed up to tell the story it will be a better game for it, even if options are sacrificed. I am looking forward to reading about your next S&W session.

That's what I loved about GURPS - it retained the dead-simple simplicity for the GM, but the character creation had all the crunch anyone could ever want.
Ultimately, though, I think that character 'options' are actually limitations - by setting the limits of what a character can do, they are really defining what they can't do.
I also played GURPS through most of the 90's - it was the publication of 3E that lured me away.
I've still got most everything published for GURPS 3rd edition. I was writing for Pyramid quite a bit in those days and SJG paid double the rate in merchandise, so I often opted for that instead of a cheque.

Questions on Formation, Flexibility, and Providing Space for the Holy Spirit
Formation is not an Added Burden but a Means to Freedom
Thanks for your comments and questions. One of the things I have tried to make clear in what I have written about formation is that it occurs in the silence of solitude under the hermit's own initiative and the grace of God. It is not a formal program put together or administered by a diocese, nor does it consist in formal stages like postulancy, novitiate, and so forth. It does, however, involve stages of growth, and these chart the person's movement from lone person to hermit. If one is seeking to be professed under canon 603 and a diocese believes they might be suitable for this, a diocese will monitor a candidate's own formation, her own growth as a person and transformation into a hermit as part of a process of discernment; the diocese may thus decide that certain experiences are important for the hermit's own growth and the diocese's own discernment, but this is not the same as creating and administering a formation program.
The second thing I have tried to make clear is that ANY form of life involves formation; to the extent we want to do something well and authentically there must be training, education, perseverance in the disciplines these require, and so, conversion and growth in these. Eremitical life takes skill and discipline; the solitude it demands is dangerous to those not called to it and risky even for those who are --- especially in an urban setting which militates against it at every moment. As already noted, I really believe that only the truly naive could think otherwise. While people approaching dioceses are surprised to hear a diocese won't simply admit them to vows as a hermit without a period of discernment (personal formation in living the life is implied here), I wonder if these same folks would be very surprised were they to imagine knocking on a convent door only to be told this is not how it works; they won't be professed there simply because they walk in off the street and request it! I doubt they would be surprised at such a conclusion. My insistence on the need for formation, as I have said before, is not meant to lay unnecessary burdens on the candidate, but instead to make sure they provide for ways to grow in the skills and discipline (which lead to the freedom) necessary to live 1) a paradigmatic life of assiduous prayer and penance 2) in the silence of solitude 3) on God's behalf and on behalf of all those precious to him.
You see, one problem I run into all the time is that few people today really know what it means to live the silence of solitude. This is much more than living silence and physical solitude though it depends on these. Even fewer know what it is to live a life of assiduous prayer and penance, or really, what it means to be a desert dweller. Beyond this, still fewer imagine doing these for God's sake or the sake of others. As I have said many times, there are many forms and degrees of solitude; very few are eremitical. Stereotypes aside, whether it is email from people who cannot turn off their TV sets or disconnect from their cell phones and iPods, those who prefer not to live alone (some actually cannot do this and this is often, though not always, a different matter), folks who believe the eremitical life means simply being a lone person and doing whatever it is they can or desire to do by facile appeals to the "call of the Holy Spirit," correspondents who are married but believe that God is calling them to be hermits and celibates nonetheless, or from those who believe ANY degree of solitude in their lives means they are hermits, I am afraid I hear a lot from people who are entirely naive of the demands of the canon or who are seeking more to justify an individualistic bent and lifestyle rather than from folks who are hermits or who may ever really discern an authentic call to this.
Why Spend Time in a Monastery?
There is no way to replace this experience I don't think. In Stillsong I live it in a similar but not identical way because I am alone with God for others, but not together with others. (The Camaldolese describe the experience I am speaking of as living alone together.) In the monastery what I experience is a shared reality and because it is shared and nurtured together (anyone eating in silence or praying silently for an hour with a dozen others will know this), it can be an intensely educative, re-vitalizing, and affirming experience for the hermit --- and I think especially for the urban hermit or the hermit who, for instance, must live with a caregiver and needs to know what is really possible to expect when people live together. So I encourage this as part of the hermit's own formation and discernment because she must be able to live something very similar in her own hermitage. She can't do this if she doesn't even know it exists or if she thinks the silence of solitude merely means the absence of external noise and closing the door on others. Additionally of course, it is really helpful to know others who are living as one does and who embrace the same values, schedule (generally speaking), praxis, etc. When one believes one is doing something strange or singular it becomes very much harder; when one knows others who are faithful to the daily discipline and praxis one is also committed to it is empowering and sustaining.
Allowing Room for the Holy Spirit:
While I am not referring to you here, your comments remind me of those I have received from others. I am surprised when I hear from folks evincing interest in profession under c 603 or in living as a hermit yet who resist making concrete commitments to regular prayer, penance, silence, solitude, or a schedule which calls for disciplined living because they "need to let the Holy Spirit guide them as to what to do". I wonder if we are speaking about the same Holy Spirit. You see, I have found that the Holy Spirit speaks to us in both the successes and failures we have in living our commitments, and less so in the absence of these and similar commitments. In other words, in my experience the Holy Spirit reminds me of how my commitments serve my vocation or not, how they allow me to grow or not, how they empower me to function or not. It is not the case that the Holy Spirit speaks out of a vacuum or like a bolt from the blue --- at least not in my general experience..
I think that suggesting commitments and structure will get in the Holy Spirit's way (which, right or wrong, is what I do hear you saying) is analogous to someone saying, "Oh I don't need to practice the violin to play it, I'll just let the Holy Spirit teach me where my fingers should go (or any of the billion other things involved in playing this instrument)." "Maybe I'll play scales if the HS calls me to; maybe I'll tune the violin if the HS calls me to. You mean I can't do vibrato without practicing it slowly? Well, maybe I will just conclude it doesn't need to be part of MY playing and the HS is not calling me to it." What I am trying to say is that if someone wants to play the violin they must commit to certain fundamental praxis and the development of foundational skills; only in so far as they are accomplished at the instrument technically will they come to know how integral this discipline and these skills are to making music freely and passionately as the Holy Spirit impels. Otherwise the music will not soar. In fact there may be no music at all --- just a few notes strung together to the best of one's ability; the capacity for making music will be crippled by the lack of skill and technique. In other words, the Holy Spirit works in conjunction with and through the discipline I am speaking of, not apart from it.
More, my own experience is that one learns that appropriate flexibility is rooted in a disciplined life. Without the foundation I am speaking of we are not talking about flexibility but instead disorder and relative laxness and fruitlessness. Regularity does not mean rigidity, but in my own experience, one has to commit to prayer, lectio, an essential silence and solitude, regular rest, rising, recreation, meals, etc if the Holy Spirit is going to have a chance of being heard. If your criticism has to do with the fact that I am clear that married people cannot be hermits (by definition they are not solitaries), or that canon 603 grew out of Bishops' experiences with experienced monastics with significant formation who grew into an eremitical vocation and that its structure and requirements implicitly include significant formation, I plead guilty! We can all use words in any way we like, but too often doing so carelessly or without real knowledge simply empties them of meaning; in the case of the term "eremite" (or hermit), using this for any lone person (or anyone who spends any time at all in physical solitude) ensures not only that the word will be emptied of meaning but that the truly isolated and alienated have no one to look to as a sign that such isolation can really be redeemed and transformed into the silence of solitude.
If Time in a Monastery is Not Possible:
There are certain central pieces of such a life in which you may need actual instruction. Office or Liturgy of the Hours is ordinarily one of these --- especially if you choose to sing it. Just finding your way through the book can be daunting without help. (At the same time, once you get it down fundamentally you may experiment with it in many many ways and pray it in ways which are truly the fruit of the Holy Spirit.) Lectio is another and your spiritual director may be able to help you with this. Still, actual instruction in Scripture is also crucial. Quiet prayer may be something you are already skilled at, but if that is not the case, you might find a group near you that prays silently together. Doing this as a group is amazingly nurturing and supportive. Even if you cannot spend an extended period of time in a monastery, you might well manage three or four full days at a time after you get to know the community and they agree to assist you. (If you are serious about becoming a diocesan hermit your diocesan Vicar for Religious or Delegate for Consecrated Life might be able to aid you in making the connection needed and also recommend you be allowed to participate more or less fully in their daily lives for limited periods of time every few months or so --- if initial experiments in this go well.)

The Bariselli family have been farming in Franciacorta ever since 1898.
Today, Gianbattista and Francesco's families live in the big country house in the heart of Torbiato di Adro, with their children and grandchildren. In this patriarchal family, work and love for the countryside have been happily passed down for the past five generations. Only if you get to personally know these people can you understand their extraordinary bond, their natural ability to share, the fuel that moves their life project.
The house is open for guided tours to all farmhouse guests and to all those who want to experience the real farming life, get to know the earth and its fruits, be completely overwhelmed by a different and old-style rhythm of life. Guests and friends are always welcomed like family in the big kitchen in front of the big crackling fireplace or, in the summer, in the shade of the cool porch.
Paolo Bariselli moves to Torbiato di Adro with his family and starts cattle breeding.
The first plot of land is acquired. Over the years, tenacity and dedication to work enable the son Guiseppe and grandsons Gian Battista and Francesco to acquire the large farmstead in the old village of Torbiato and the land that forms the current family-owned property.
The first vines are planted and the old vines that already existed on the land are restored.
The farmstead Solive is acquired, in the neighbouring municipality of Nigoline di Corfranca, and carefully restored in keeping with the original building.
Solive, the new farm holiday organization, opens complete with restaurant and a few rooms, managed with great savoirfaire by the women of the family.
The construction of the new winery Solive begins in the municipality of Erbusco. The new building rises up on the panoramic hillside, surrounded by vines and the Bellavista hills.

As much as I'd like to and as much as I do become invested in the few that I do enjoy, I can't put too much focus on romances.
Top things I dislike about romances in books
1) They (almost) always end on a good note.
For the record I did feel like a total Grinch writing that out. Out of 6 of my favorite romantic movies only 2 end happily. I'm not sure at what point in my life I started going in the opposite direction of "happily ever after" but not only does a sad ending bring out more emotion in me I think there's something about an open-ended ending that makes a story more thought filled. What happens after goodbye?
Side note: I do enjoy happily ever after's, I'm not a total Grinch.
2) When they come off like Noah's ark.
I read the last book in a trilogy last year and it ended with every single character paired up. I honestly wasn't loving the trilogy so far, but I was kind of caught up in the relationship between the main characters. Even when it was a triangle. But when it got to the epilog it went on to describe how all the other characters got together.
3) When they run hot and cold.
I get that all relationships have their ups and downs, but the one's in books feel like they're amplified by ten.
4) Constantly being reminded how hot the characters are.
Just because you think you're girl/boyfriend is super hot doesn't mean everyone is going to want them. I once complained about this stating that the main reason it bugged me was because I knew people who were exactly like that. They thought that everyone was staring at the other.
In books I understand that we the readers also have to fall in love with the person being described and I don't mind being reminded of their amazing eyes or great bodies; the problem is when that's all they have.
If I suggest making it a drinking game every time the girl describes the guy as a god, it's probably too much.
5) Poetic sex scenes.
Either describe it or don't. There's no need to beat around the bush saying that when they touched both could hear the bells and the sun started shining a little brighter.
I'll take lines like that anywhere but in a sex scene.
Top things I LIKE about romances in books
6) They often leave me feeling hopeful and inspired.
Something that might come as a surprise after all I've said: I'm easily smitten. When the story is done right.
7) When they have great lines about love.
This kind of ties in with what I said after number 5.
8) When it's mind invading.
As much as I can't stand it while I'm going through it, I love it when a romance invades my mind and it's all I can think about for days.
9) They give me guys I'll never find in real life.
That made sound negative, but it's more of an acceptance. No matter how great a guy is he is not a book character.
10) They calm me.
When I start falling for a romance I feel myself mellow out to a point where I hadn't even realized it had been a while since I fell for a character.

TORONTO - Toronto FC's stars came out for the first time Wednesday.
Newly appointed captain Michael Bradley and Italian playmaker Sebastian Giovinco took part in practice while striker Jozy Altidore went through baseline physical testing.
A smiling head coach Greg Vanney looked like a kid whose toy box was full to the brim.
And with reason. Under the bubble at the team's well-appointed practice facility, a lively Giovinco darted through traffic. Veteran French midfielder Benoit Cheyrou looked silky smooth. Edwin Rivas, a rookie forward from Cal State-Northridge, turned heads. Homegrown midfielder Jay Chapman also looked sharp.
A routine pre-season scrimmage was buzzing.
"The intensity and the focus and the quality is better today than it has ever been," Vanney said.
Bradley and Altidore missed the first two weeks of camp while on duty with the U.S. national team. Giovinco arrived in Toronto from Italy last week.
The only note of discontent Wednesday was sounded — diplomatically — by former skipper Steven Caldwell. The 34-year-old Scottish centre back was formally removed as captain Tuesday as the MLS club installed Bradley as the face of the franchise.
"It's disappointing and I'm a little bit upset about how it's been handled," said Caldwell, who has captained almost every club he has played for.
Caldwell, who voiced his support for Bradley, felt he deserved "a little bit more respect" in the way it was done.
"We all knew that it was coming and it should have been dealt with quicker and in a more precise manner," he said. "It dragged on in part of a season where I feel we should be fully concentrating on gelling a team and being prepared for (the season opener) March 7."
It's hard not to agree with Caldwell's assessment. Always ebullient Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment boss Tim Leiweke raved in the off-season about the role Bradley played in helping bring Altidore and Giovinco to the franchise. The 27-year-old Bradley had been consulted at every step, Leiweke said.
On Day 1 of camp, Caldwell was asked whether his input was sought. The answer was no.
The club's sixth career captain was dispensed with like a billionaire installing a new trophy wife, albeit one as tough as nails.
The writing had been on the wall months before. With millions invested in Bradley, the club spotlight shone brightly on the intense American last season, especially with Caldwell missing two games through suspension and 11 by injury.
A September video call to arms to TFC fans was delivered by Bradley, not Caldwell.
Official word eventually came Tuesday via a story on Toronto FC's website and a tweet: "ICYMI - NEWS: Toronto FC names Michael Bradley captain."
While Bradley was gracious in his assessment of Caldwell's term as captain, the whole process seemed shoddy.
Caldwell, the oldest player on Toronto's roster, said he considers the matter closed. But it is clear that there are likely other disagreements.
Bradley called the 2014 squad too young and too naive. The TFC braintrust says it lacked character.
The problem was somewhat simpler in the former skipper's view.
"We lost our captain for a number of weeks and we lost our top striker, our DP (Jermain Defoe)," said Caldwell.
Caldwell said all he wants to do now is win. But in closing the matter, he offered some veteran perspective.
"At the end of the day people don't follow armbands," he said. "They follow leaders. And there's many different ways to lead."
NOTES: Brazilian winger Jackson remains in Brazil with his wife and newborn baby. He is due to join the team next week in Florida ... Polish defender Damien Perquis took a knock on his arm but kept playing.
