The U.S. Department of Labor is a cabinet-level department of the federal government that enforces more than 180 federal laws covering workplace activities, employee rights and worker safety. The department is headed by the U.S. Secretary of Labor.
The federal labor laws protect job seekers, public and private sector employees, and retirees. One of the major labor laws is the Fair Labor Standards Act, which requires a federal minimum wage and 1.5-times pay for overtime work. This act is administered by the Wage and Hour Division. A major law regulating workplace safety is the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which is administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Department of Labor also enforces the workers' compensation program, which provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job.
The Department of Labor had its beginnings in 1884 when Congress established the Bureau of Labor Statistics to collect information about labor and employment. This bureau was part of the Department of the Interior. Later, the Bureau of Labor was formed and eventually become an independent Department of Labor, but lacked executive rank. In 1903, the department became a bureau again within the Department of Commerce and Labor. On March 4, 1913, on the last day of his presidency, William Howard Taft established the current cabinet-level department.

"File name or path doesn't exist" Error While Saving in Excel
Posted on February 26th, 2009 |
Ran into a bit of a head scratcher this week in regards to network file permissions on an Excel spreadsheet. Department manager created a spreadsheet in a shared network folder that his employees had read access to. He wanted the employees to be able to update the spreadsheet so I gave their security group write level access to the file. The file would open for an employee okay but when the person tried to save the document the following error would trigger:
File name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
I triple checked all the permissions to make sure I had everything correct. Checked the file server to see that the user did indeed have Read+Write access while they had the file open. Even checked the server logs to make sure there weren't any security errors. Everything looked fine.
I then decided to look at the server log to see what it looked like when an admin opened and saved the file where I stumbled upon the answer. Excel is trying to create a .tmp file in the same folder the spreadsheet is in before it saves the spreadsheet. The user's security group only had read access to the folder which resulted in the generic Excel save error.
I moved the spreadsheet to a subfolder and applied the same permissions to that folder and that did the trick.

Howdy all,
I'm currently trying to get back into the reefing fun and thought I'd pickup a IM 10 Gallon Fusion Nuvo to have my 2 year old daughter fascinate over.
I was curious if anyone had an Al Prime (or something comparable in price and ability) laying around that they are looking to sell?

Journalism in China by George Underwood
Arriving in China
After finishing university, I knew I would need more experience in Journalism, to attract the jobs I wanted. Even though I wanted to do an internship abroad, it was just as important for me to get the opportunity to travel in my free time. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that China was the best destination for me to not only do an internship, but to travel and experience a different culture as well.
I have always wanted to go to China, because the culture is so different from my own; it was an experience I was looking forward to. Shanghai was quite overwhelming when I first arrived, and it didn't help that it's one of the biggest (and busiest) cities in the world, with a language I didn't understand at all.
However, I overcame these barriers very quickly, mainly by throwing myself into the lifestyle, and trying to do as many different cultural activities as possible; Shanghai is such a big city that there's never a lack of entertainment.
I soon grew to love the quirks of the Chinese culture – the mass sharing at mealtimes, the obsession with karaoke (which is much better than you'd think it's going to be), or the haggling at the endless fake markets. Looking back, England now seems pretty boring in comparison!
Living in Shanghai, China
Living in a flat, in the middle of the city, was a brilliant way to immerse myself in the culture, as I was forced to be independent and learn many things on my own. You would think that not having clean water, and trying to sleep in such a loud city would take forever for you to adjust to, but my life in Shanghai quickly became second nature.
For example, when I started my journey, I did not enjoy Chinese food; having rice and/or noodles every day can quickly become boring, but I soon found that the food was completely different to what I was used back at home, and much better.
The high turnover of flatmates meant that I got to meet loads of different people from all over the world, which was another great opportunity to learn about other cultures. All the other volunteers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we became a really close-knit group. Nights out to clubs and restaurants were regular, which really helped me get the most out of my experience in Shanghai.
My Journalism Placement in Shanghai
I was lucky to get a placement at a publishing company called, Time Out. This was the perfect publication for me to work on, because I got to take part in quite a few activities as part of my job, including the highlight of all events, the Shanghai Beer Festival.
I acted as an assistant to all the editorial staff, which meant that there was a lot of mundane tasks to do. I felt that I got a good overview of how a magazine functions, and some employers were really impressed by the work I did during my internship.
At first, I was worried that working five days a week would make it hard to enjoy Shanghai, but writing about such interesting places and events, kept me busy during the evenings, so much so that it barely felt like I was working at all.
It was especially nice working with a mixture of Chinese people, and other people from the UK, who had come to China, and who I got to know as well as the other volunteers.
Travelling on Weekends
I could have spent my entire time in the city, however, the noise and the pollution can get to you after a while. It was nice to have the opportunity to travel on weekends, and to explore China to the fullest. The countryside felt completely different to the city – it was a lot prettier and featured the kinds of landscapes you would never see in Britain.
Visiting places like Guilin, the Yellow Mountains, Beijing and the Great Wall of China made my internship abroad feel like a proper travelling experience.
It was incredibly sad boarding the plane to go back to England, but at least I felt completely fulfilled after my time in China. I can't wait to go back one day!

Three Years on and I still say WTF.
Today marks the third anniversary of one of the top 2 what the fuck moments in Phish history. Three years ago Phish shocked a sold out audience in Coney Island by announcing Jay-Z as there special guest. Some would argue that the collaboration that followed was horrible. While others thought it was brilliant. Me I just thought it was a typical Phish move. The band always knew just how to surprise their audience the best. Although my biggest what the fuck moment was definitely when Kid Rock came out in Las Vegas this was still a pretty cool thing to witness.

Ecclestone backs Stefan for 2010 grid slot
- Drivers:
- Kazuki Nakajima
- |
- Ralf Schumacher
Bernie Ecclestone is backing Stefan GP to get a grid spot this season, and sees Ralf Schumacher as an ideal candidate to head its driver line up.
The Serbian team, owned by millionaire Zoran Stefanovic, is currently operating out of Toyota's old factory in Cologne, after striking a deal to take over development of the ex-F1 team's 2010 chassis and engine. It has already said it will test at the end of February and that it intends to send equipment to the first race in Bahrain to prove its credentials as a viable F1 outfit.
Now Ecclestone has thrown his support behind Stefan GP and believes it could replace any team that fails to make the opening race.
"I do not believe in the participation of US F1 and Campos," he told German publication Sport Bild. "Instead, I have good contact with Stefan and am trying to get this team a starting place. Ralf Schumacher would be an ideal driver for them. He has experience, he knows the team."
Schumacher hasn't competed in F1 since he left Toyota in 2007, but showed an interest in making a comeback around the same time as his brother Michael said he would return last year. Ex-Williams and Toyota-backed driver Kazuki Nakajima is expected to test for Stefan GP at the Portimao circuit in the Algarve in late February and is likely to be a strong candidate for a drive if the team is allowed to race.
Former-McLaren designer and Spygate plotter Mike Coughlan is on the technical staff and it is believed that long-time McLaren team manager and Liegate conspirator Dave Ryan and ex-Midland, Spyker and Force India team prinicipal Colin Kolles are also involved with the team.

A non campaign pure RT game.
Sooo with Morgan, Carrie, Heather, Tom and Sian(the wife) over I put together an 'aliens' esque game on my agri-world for the guys.
The Battlefield
In this game advance elements of a hive fleet led by an bio-enhanced Zoat recce officer has landed on the world and homed in on the nearest life signs - Jadeberry farm and staff.
Hive Fleet Vanguard
Other elements of the fleets vanguard had seriously mauled beta platoon of the IX Iridian Regiment tasked with defending the the world and the survivors had made their way to the nearest defendable settlement - Jadeberry Farm.
Beta Platoon Iridian IX and Civilians
Sian and Heather played Beta Platoon, Carrie and Tom the Tyranids and Morgan played the unpredictable farm hands.
The Imperial Army enter Jadeberry Farm and are told by farmer Maddox to 'Get orff moi laaand!' until the seriousness of the situation is explained to him and his staff.
The game began with the tyrnanids moving through cover to the flanks with the rapid stealer unit racing down one wing. The guard moved into the settlement as Morgans 'farmer maddox' decided to throw his lot in with the soldiers even though they were despoiling his land.
Carries Hunter Killer units flank left and right guided by the Zoat leader.
While Tom's stealers scuttle around the fuel storage tanks on the right flank and fail their charge against the Imperials giving them a much needed extra few shots!
The tyranids rapidly advanced with the stealers while the hunter killer squads hung back seemingly more interested in scouting the farm. The humans put down some pitiful fire and before they knew it they were hit by a wave of stealers and the game turned into a desperate hand to hand battle with the tech adept managing to net a few tyranid stragglers with his webber and put them out of action.
Ogryn Sgt Te'Pow uses the trucks back cargo bay as hard cover while putting down suppressive fire!
And the Tyranid hoarde hit the humans like a wave of teeth, fangs and chitin! The civilians behind the baricades rush to help out the beleagured army troopers (and at this point the securi-pict system was disabled by the 'nids - or my batteries in the camera ran out... your choice ;) )
Luckily (amazingly in fact) the humans beat off the tyranids (even the halfling cook killed a stealer) but not before at their darkest hour the tech and astropath bottles it and climbed into the supply truck and sped out of the gates!
Eventually, cut to ribbons and reduced to a few wounds each Capt Le Bonne and Ogrun Sgt Te'Pow were the last two standing surrounded by a sea of dead beasties.

You seriously have to do a post about how you guys get your partners and female friends involved in your games. You're the only person I've ever come across who's managed to get them playing. I'd love to here their prespective as well.ReplyDelete
Also, cracking game write up mate!
Nicely done mate - how 'pure' RT was it? You were talking about using the Duck Back and Shot rules, but I assume you didn't here?ReplyDelete
Pure RT as in we only used the rules from the main rule book and vehicle chart from the compendium rather than our using inclusion of pinning/injuries and 2nd ed close combat. (btw RT hand to hand is failry lengthy and not that decisive!)ReplyDelete
As for getting the ladies involved, I think it helps that a lot of my friends are from the goth/alternative scene where most of the girls dont recoil from gaming and in particular RPG based games in horror.
In fact Carrie and I were in the same 'Vampire the Masquerade' live roleplaying group at University in the 90s and my partner Sian had an attic full of Warhammer Quest and a High Elf army when i met her!
I think with enough story and interesting enough character motivation a lot of women find the games more accessible than say for example a marines vs orcs 3rd edition tournament style battle.
I've just noticed the biscuits in the first shot - are those RT era biscuits?ReplyDelete
Cthellian Shortcake, not strictly rogue trader as they were featured in the transitional RT to 2nd ed. sourcecook 'Pantry Approved - the first book of the gastronomican'ReplyDelete
I have a copy of that saucebook somewhere :-)ReplyDelete
As much as I have a severely negative gut reaction to seeing genestealers reduced to the position of a "'Nid" fast-attack unit, it's nice to see a Tyranid force being led by a power glove-wielding Zoat!ReplyDelete
Between that and seeing Guard models I've had rattling around for two decades put to good use, I'm finding myself longing for a classic RT game myself...
(Oh, and on the side-topic of gamer girlfriends/wives/etc., my solution: only get involved with someone who games. I learned long ago that it just doesn't work (for me) to get involved with someone who isn't involved in my hobby (or, worse, "tolerates" it). My philosophy: If you're looking at the possibility of spending the remaining years of your life with someone, why would you choose someone who doesn't love the things you love?)
Goth girls, you've got to love them. At least my wife supports me, suppose I've got to be thankful for that.ReplyDelete
"Goth girls, you've got to love them"ReplyDelete
oh i have, many, many of them, many many times... :)
In the 'Beta Platoon Iridian IX and Civilians' image, any idea what the model in the back row, second from the right is?ReplyDelete
(sorry for commenting so far after the fact, but I just found the blog. ^^ )
No problem mate! I think its the psyker from the Rogue Trader Adventurers range - top row, second from the left in this pic...ReplyDelete
(Pontiff will be able to confirm when he's back from airsofting!)
That definitely looks like the right miniature. Now I just have to find a mini that's probably been out of print for over a decade ^.^;ReplyDelete

Just how healthy are your muscles and joints?
Answer our questions and find out if your flexibility is compromised.Find out how flexible you are
Fibromyalgia might be difficult to diagnose but it does have a wide variety of associated symptoms. These symptoms often derive from an abnormal sensitivity to pain in the muscles and soft tissues, leading to joint stiffness and muscle pain. In this page, our muscle and joint expert Earle Logan describes the symptoms of fibromyalgia and how they can be soothed using natural remedies.
Pain, tenderness and stiffness of muscles are the most common and most prominent symptoms of fibromyalgia. These symptoms may be experienced in any part of the body but most commonly affect the neck, shoulders and back. Muscles involved may go into spasm or twitch.
Pain in the neck and shoulders may be associated with mild to severe headaches, as well as the symptoms of nausea and dizziness.
Fibromylagia muscle pain is likely to present all the time although its intensity can fluctuate from day to day, as well as during the course of the day. It is described as an aching or burning pain, and because muscles are painful on movement, muscle and joint stiffness can also be experienced.
Muscle pain and stiffness can be worse when you remain in one position for a long time – for instance, when you wake first thing in the morning. So, being more physically active can improve their symptoms, but for others, even the mildest exercise makes their fibromyalgia muscle pain worse. In addition, symptoms can become worse when you are more anxious or stressed, or with changes in weather conditions.
It is thought that the symptom of pain in those suffering from fibromyalgia arises as a result of an abnormal sensitivity to pain in the muscles and soft tissues. For many, muscles are tender to even the most gentlest of touch and if you happen to hurt yourself with a simple injury, the pain experienced is out of proportion to the severity of the injury and could linger for much longer than normal.
Most people with fibromyalgia complain of being tired easily or tired all the time, experiencing extreme tiredness (known as fatigue). These symptoms appear to have the same cause as that giving rise to pain – an abnormality of the nervous system.
Despite feeling tired, people suffering from fibromyalgia can find that they are unable to sleep well. Some may find trouble falling asleep, others find that they wake easily or seem to be awake all night. Most find that they do not wake feeling rested or refreshed.
Suffering from poor sleep contributes or worsens the symptoms of tiredness and fatigue – a classic vicious circle.
Being tired and experiencing poor sleep will not help concentration and memory. People suffering from fibromyalgia may have trouble remembering names and find that they are only able to concentrate for short periods of time. They frequently forget where they have placed items such as keys or wallets and may even have trouble learning new tasks and skills.
Again, the cause of these symptoms is likely to be the malfunctioning of the nervous system.
People suffering from fibromyalgia can experience a whole variety of digestive symptoms. These can include:
Symptoms may form a pattern giving rise to a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A common factor in these symptoms appears to be muscle spasm in the digestive tract, although food intolerances may also be responsible for some of these symptoms.
People suffering from fibromyalgia may complain of a wide range of other symptoms. These are generally less common than the ones described above and may include:

text: I was playing with Rocket League with the Logitech F310. Last week I had a problem problem. Buttons could not be detected. When I was in the main menu, nothing worked except the "Start" button, which creates me a second profile. As my controller was old I thought that was the source of my problems, I bought an Xbox360 controller for PC. I played yesterday and today until the afternoon. 3 hours later, same problems occur. I restarted my PC, nothing was solved. Please help, this is getting really annoying and if it keeps happening I will have to quit the game - which is a shame as it is really fun.

I'm overwhelmed by how much space that's been taken up by papers. Paper is so thin, if we had only seen what paper looked like we never would have guessed how easily they stack on top of each other. I can see the papers overflowing my binder like hot pasta with water boiling over the pot. They remind me of the monstrous book of monsters from harry potter.
From Halloween grams to college career pamphlets, nothing has been thrown out. Most of the papers have never been touched for months, not even looked at. Yet I still hold on to them. And so begins the battle of stuffing papers into a space that doesn't exist. Oh what agony, to be looking for something that wasn't even there. Or flipping through all compartments of a two inch binder until you finally find what you've been looking for, only to find that it was in an obvious spot you've overlooked twenty times. The papers have consumed me. My chest carries the burden of being pressed by weights. Breaths feel heavier like a smoker wheezing for the last full breath of sweetness called life. It would be a
daring move to open my binder out of leisure.
Finally the day comes where you can't escape the pain of cleaning your binder. The time has come to sort, file, and throw papers out. And it's dreadful. But once it's been finished, a new feeling arises. It feels fresh and the weights have been lifted. Breathing is easier now. And all is well. Skip ahead a few more months , and you're back to square one, it's like you've never escaped from the place you started from. There's no proof of progress because nothing has changed. What a shame.
New beginnings, second chances, they are like drugs that inspire you to do great things. When you write a new year's resolution, you feel obligated to accomplish every goal and it feels like nothing is impossible. You get another chance of becoming the better version of yourself you haven't reached. Second,third, fourth and chances don't change anything if you don't force change. Christians baptize themselves to become reborn, to cleanse themselves of their past to make a better change. It usually only happens once. It would be useless to baptize someone who is constantly sinning with the intention of sinning. Don't wait until your binder is filled up, clean it every week.

You've heard people complain, "If I only knew then what I know now, I wouldn't be in this mess," but what about those times when you choose not to see the writing on the wall? Dr. Phil meets couples who say their relationships went from bad to worse after they said, "I do," and now their families are broken.
Will Marriage Change a Man?
Before they got married, Melody says her husband, Scott, would tell her, "I'm not in love with you," "I wish you would leave," and "I wouldn't marry you for a million dollars." But she walked down the aisle with him anyway. Scott says Melody pushed him into fatherhood and marriage, and there are times he doesn't love his wife.
"I've always tried to make it work, but it's been almost impossible."
Substandard Spouses?
Dr. Phil confronts Scott about his behavior and drills down to find out why Melody allows herself to be treated poorly. Plus, take the five-question quiz that could reveal whether you're ready to divorce.
Should this couple cut their losses now, or do they have a chance for a successful marriage?
Bitter, Battling Exes
Meet Shawn, a man still in love with his ex-wife, Sheree. He won't accept their divorce and says she ruined their lives. Though they've been apart for five years, Sheree says Shawn still finds ways to threaten and harass her.
"The only thing Sheree wanted from me was my sperm and my money."
Caught in the Middle of Chaos
Shawn says Sheree betrayed him when he was dying of cancer, and now she's alienating him from his kids. Sheree says Shawn is playing the cancer card for sympathy. And hear from Shawn's caregiver, Mary, and Shawn and Sheree's two sons.
"I just want him to pick up the ball and start being a father."

Over the past few years, my music listening habits have been really mixed tape focused. Primarily it's been PDP mixes but more recently I've been listening to a lot of streaming music. Last year, I was using 8tracks quite heavily, which continued the whole mix tape vibe. But this year I've recently started using Rdio and that's resulted in a renaissance of listening to whole albums. And one those new albums happened to be Veronica Falls self-titled album. So when I happened to pop into Soundscapes after brunch on Sunday and saw they were coming to town, I decided it had been long enough since I'd seen a show.
After class, I headed downtown to The Garrison. I was a bit hungry and wasn't sure if they served food — they don't but I did had a pleasant text conversation with Elisa. I probably could have killed more time before the show by eating before hitting the venue but I just nursed a beer instead in the bar/front area before heading into the back concert area. The place was pretty small compared to my first two concerts, probably a bit smaller space wise then the Media Club though a touch bigger then the Railway Club.
Hands & Teeth, a local Toronto band was first onstage. There seemed to be some solid talent in the group but their sounds was a little all over the map, taking turns on different instruments and with lead vocals. The first time I ever saw a band interchange like that it was kinda neat but I now generally take that to mean the group is still experimenting. Though one of the group must have been at least 6'5 with a moustache and there was an attractive blond, so they complemented their sound with visuals.
Next up was Brilliant Colors from San Francisco. They had a lo-fi, indie pop sound that I enjoyed. For a fairly stripped down sound, they seemed to be having some real challenges with the monitors — my favourite part being when they said if the sound guy couldn't reduce the bass, then just cut it from all the monitors. Listening to them, I immediately thought Ryan would like them. (And looking at their Rdio profile, he's listed as a recent listener!)
After they finished up, Veronica Falls took the stage. They also had some sound issues and the vocals seemed a little lost throughout the short show. It got better but not great. It's also noticeable how small their catalog is. They played a couple of new tracks to go along with most of their album but the set was quite short and the "encore" was a single song and then off the stage. Overall, they either didn't bring their A game or their stage presence leaves something to be desired.
But enough about the complaints because overall I still quite enjoyed listening to their London-Scots twee. A post-punk, Velvet Underground-ish sound with a dash of art-pop thrown in — including outfits. Guitarist/vocalists Roxanne Clifford and James Hoare, and drummer Patrick Doyle were all sporting matching red-and-white striped shirts in a nod to Valentine's Day. Marion Herbain, the bassist, looked the odd member out in dark dress and cardigan and was the only one not to contribute vocals. They led off with Beachy Head and I certainly enjoyed Found Love in a Graveyard and Bad Feeling.
Not a perfect show by far. But to quote Ryan, "You saw Veronica Falls on Valentines day? Swoon"

But being away at school makes it too easy to hide. And while she can't explain to her friends, or to herself even, the reasons why she doesn't want the baby's father to find out about the pregnancy, the rest of her world begins to unravel.
Freshman year is hard enough. Most girls get through by forming close friendships, finding new boys and a phone call from mom or dad on Sunday. Laurel has to navigate all of it while hiding an unplanned pregnancy from a summer fling...
An imperfect heroine plagued by bad choices and haunted by the memory of her deceased mother and grandparents, readers are sure to identify with Laurel as she navigates teen pregnancy, in secret, in a remote college setting
My Review:
"Everyone warned me about Colman College. The workload is heavy. The professors don't mess around. To say I am overwhelmed is an understatement. I have a math class, a writing seminar, a phys. ed. requirement that's being fulfilled by taking a class in Swedish massage of all things, a course in molecular biology that I like, plus a lab to go with it, and an Intro to Legal Ethics class that I can't stand. I also have a positive pregnancy test – two, actually. Way to get things started."
This is Laurel's world . Being freshman is supposed to be an exciting experience for her. New school, new people to meet...everything is overwhelming and for Laurel , only 18 ...is already face to make a decision that will change her life forever.
While everyone decides which party to crash on.. She has to decide whether to keep her baby or not. She have not told her emotionally distant Dad. Her best friend. And even the baby's father. She decided to do this on her own. Though, I don't agree with Laurel's hasty decision of keeping it to herself. I still admire her. At a young age, she is strong to carry such a burden. And I'm so happy that she decided to go on with the pregnancy and not the abortion.
I love how Ms. Christine Duval presented the story. It was realistic and it gave me a clearer understanding about unplanned teenage pregnancy and how important is having someone for support . I'm glad that Laurel joined one of the support groups that clearly help and gained her a few friends with the same situation as her.
Being in college and being pregnant is never been easy for Laurel.. She has to keep up with her classes at the same time keep up with her prenatal visit. Plus she has to keep her"being pregnant" from everyone else. And when she met Mike whom she definitely like , all became confusing. Being pregnant and all is more than she can take.
As the story progresses, I surprisingly became involved in Laurel's life. I felt the hesitation, the pain every time she attempts to tell her Dad about her situation. ( and I'm holding my breath the whole time! ) And when she finally did , I feel like crying . I'm glad at the end that her relationship with her dad was restored. I love that they really communicate and get things cleared up. Acceptance and forgiveness are proven to be both powerful words and actions indeed.
"I want you to focus on acceptance. In other words, don't try to control the uncontrollable, and don't try to change a person who can't be changed. People are who they are. With acceptance comes forgiveness, and with forgiveness comes inner peace, and we can all use some of that."
Overall, this is a good story. But the ending left me with a lot of questions. Will Laurel tell Danny about their daughter? Now that she has the chance? How will Danny react? I guess all these will be answered on the next book which I would be happy to read.
My Verdict:
3 wonderful stars!

Rod Dreher
Let us introduce you to our friend Rod Dreher.
Born in Baton Rouge, Lousiana and raised in the small town of St Francisville, Dreher holds a B.A. in journalism from Louisiana State University. Raised a Methodist, he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1993. But after covering the Roman Catholic Church's child sex abuse scandal, Dreher began questioning his Catholicism in 2002 and eventually converted to Orthodoxy in 2006.
Dreher has written about religion, politics, film and culture in National Review, The Weekly Standard, The Wall Street Journal, Touchstone, Men's Health, and the Los Angeles Times. He was a film reviewer for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and chief film critic for The New York Post. His commentaries have been broadcast on National Public Radio's All Things Considered and he has appeared on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Court TV and other television networks.
In 2006 he published a book on what he calls "granola conservatism": Crunchy Cons: How Birkenstocked Burkeans, Gun-Loving Organic Gardeners, Evangelical Free-Range Farmers, Hip Homeschooling Mamas, Right-Wing Nature Lovers, and Their Diverse Tribe of Countercultural Conservatives Plan to Save America (or At Least the Republican Party). In 2013, he published The Little Way of Ruthie Leming about his childhood in Louisiana and his sister's battle with cancer. And in 2015, after Dante's Divine Comedy led him through a mid-life crisis, he published How Dante Can Save Your Life: The Life-Changing Wisdom of History's Greatest Poem.
Dreher is probably most known for what he calls the "Benedict Option", named after St. Benedict of Nursia. Based on a phrase in the conclusion of Alisdair MacIntyr's After Virtue, Dreher calls Christians to live in intentional communities. He writes frequently on it in his blog for The American Conservative and is currently writing a book on the subject.
We're delighted to have Rod Dreher sharing a "view from the newsroom" in his lecture "The Benedict Option: Resistance, Resilience & Resurrection in a Post-Christian Age".
And he'll be presenting a breakout session on "Laurus & Benedict: The Novel as Guide to Living in a New Middle Age."
Check out this video to learn why Rod Dreher thinks you need to put down roots and stay in one place:
Interview with Rod Dreher
1. How do you define "sacrament"?
Broadly speaking, a sacrament (as distinct from The Sacraments) is an action or a thing through which the grace of God is mediated to humanity.
2. How would you explain our sub-theme, "The World as Gift", i.e. how is the world a gift?
A gift is a sacrament of gratuitous love, and must be received as such.
3. What is your favorite food and drink?
Briny Atlantic oysters on the half-shell and bone-dry Chablis.
4. What is your favorite novel and why?
"A Confederacy of Dunces," because it is the funniest thing ever written in English by someone other than P.G. Wodehouse, and because there is, alas, a lot of Ignatius J. Reilly in me.
5. Who is your favorite musician and why?
Two of them: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, because of the ragged humanity of "Exile on Main Street"
6. Do you have any hobbies, or what kind of things do you do in your free time?
I cook. That's it. I cook. Nothing makes me happier than feasting, especially when I have turned raw ingredients into something that delights others. Plus, I never know when I've written something worthwhile, but I always know at once whether or not what I cooked is any good.
Quotes from Rod Dreher
The country is not ours anymore. This is not our culture anymore. Maybe it never was our real home, but we have got to prepare ourselves and our families and our churches through intentional living, through disciplined living, and through an awareness of the cultural moment to deal with perhaps even persecution.
I'm trying to tell Christians it's not enough to be a knight. You have to be a gardener, too. I've talked to Christian leaders in different colleges, Catholic and Protestant, and they are seeing an entire generation of young people who don't know their faith. Even if they've been through church groups, it's always been this sort of Jesus-is-my-boyfriend, youth pastor kind of stuff that's about a quarter-inch deep. They don't have the strong sense of the faith, not only in terms of what they know, but in terms of the way they live, their habits. They don't have a strong enough sense of the faith to withstand the power of this culture, and you're starting to see it, especially in the same-sex marriage thing.
We have to stay involved in the outside world, but let's also do a strategic retreat. That's not, "head for the hills." That's doing things like turning off the television. Back away from the culture. As Christians, we have to tell ourselves, the church has to tell ourselves, our own story and shore up our own group, our own sense of ourselves right now because the culture is so overwhelming. Only then can we go out into the world and be a light to the world as we're called to be.
We have lost a common moral sense and with it the kind of moral vocabulary with which to articulate political principles. We are no longer citizens but consumers.
I am convinced that conservatives have placed far too much stock in political action and far too little in the work of culture.
A conservatism that does not recognize the need for restraint, for limits, and for humility is neither helpful to individuals and society nor, ultimately, conservative. This is particularly true with respect to the natural world.
The ideal polity will favor small-scale economics—small farmers, small manufacturers, small merchants—because that is the kind of society in which people are most likely to develop in wisdom, virtue, and happiness.
We have disordered politics because we have disorderd souls—we should strive within the limits of our particular situations to construct new forms of community to repair and redeem the moral imagination distorted by modern life. We should begin to think of our homes as domestic monasteries and to cultivate thoughtfulness and purposefulness in the way we go about our daily lives. Withdrawing consciously from practices that cloud our minds and alienate us from essential wisdom is the first step toward healing. In this sense, turning off the television is a giant step toward healthy political reform.
What I propose is that we not wait for politicians to save us but rather that we get busy now forming intentional communities and supporting localism, communal self-reliance, the common good, and a small-is-beautiful ethic.
Culture is more important than politics, and neither America's wealth nor our liberties will long survive a culture that no longer lives by what Russell Kirk identified as "the Permanent Things"—those eternal moral norms necessary to civilized life, and which are taught by all the world's great wisdom traditions.
We share Kirk's conviction that "the best way to rear up a new generation of friends of the Permanent Things is to beget children, and to read to them o' evenings, and teach them what is worthy of praise: the wise parent is the conservator of ancient truths. . . . The institution most essential to conserve is the family."
Politics and economics will not save us. If we are to be saved at all, it will be through living faithfully by the Permanent Things, preserving these ancient truths in the choices we make in everyday life. In this sense, to conserve is to create anew.
Appreciation of aesthetic quality—that is, beauty—is not a luxury, but key to the good life.

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

A quick aside before my review. It's cool we are getting some more music talk on the board. A nice break from the political debates... back to the review. Checked out their new album.

I get those types too, plus these: 1) The Overly-Proud Parent - _Everything_ their kids do (including the scatological) is just so precious and cute and has to be shared with the world. 2) The Sad Sack - Everything about their life sucks and they have to post every negative thing the world throws at them. They desperately need your pity and often hint that financial aid wouldn't hurt either. 3) The Overly-Religious - The name of Jesus Christ needs to be invoked in nearly every post. If they have a good day, Jesus needs to be thanked online. If things are going bad (even slightly), they ask for prayers. Some people I know show two or even all three of these traits. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on October 3, 2011, 8:15 pm

Facebook is bizarre- first the endless changes to the site forced on the users- these dont seem to be well received, or wanted. I use the site less now because of it. Then secondly- seeing how lame your friends really are- it breaks down into stereo types- 1- the angry political, every post is political venom. 2- the boring exhibitionist- tons of photos and entries about mundane items, they want to be a star. 3 the not funny comedian, everything needs to be a joke, and they are not funny in real life- thus not funny on facebook. 4- reporters of the mundane- "hey it's raining where I am at".

Mason also loses a civil case at the beginning of The Case of the Dead Ringer, partly due to being framed for witness tampering. Mason and his staff then spend the rest of the episode trying to prove his innocence. They eventually do, and -- although this is not stated explicitly -- the verdict of the civil case is presumably either overturned or declared a mistrial.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1985) - TV Shows
I've been marathoning G.I. Joe recently and thought I should leave my impressions of it. I know many fans dislike the second season due to Serpentor and Sgt. Slaughter. But there were some great new characters (like Hawk finally making his animated debut) and episodes (Sink the Montana). Even Serpentor got a great origin story (made from DNA of history's greatest tyrants). I wonder if Serpentor would have been received more warmly if he didn't have such a ridiculous costume and name that seemed like a He-Man reject. I think I'd have to agree with Dr. Sarcastor that The Movie was probably the boning point. The show was already straining credibility and that Cobra-La crap was just too much. Cobra Commander's ridiculous origin from The Movie of being a mutated nobleman-scientist of an ancient race of lizard-men from the Himalayas made his comic book origin of being a disgruntled used-car salesman look believable. The less said about the post-Movie episodes done by DiC, the better. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on October 1, 2011, 2:32 am

Cartooner, at least the Braves and Red Sox come close. I've been a long time Astros fan and I'll tell you the last few seasons they've made it real tough to be a fan. Having the worst record in all of baseball is not something to take pride in. Plus, continuously changing the roster, I have no clue, anymore, who is on the team. We have the Phillies old GM, Ed Wade. How ironic is it that he left there and the Phills started playing better baseball.

Dungeons and Dragons - TV Shows
Anyone who hasn't heard it yet should listen to the radio broadcast of the unreleased final episode. I listened to the copy in the DVD set. Some people said that it helped them get on with their lives after they listened to it. I got to watch this show on DVD about 3 years ago. I was very interested to see what this controversial kids show from 1983 was all about. The story pokes fun at some of the Dungeons & Dragons game rules, especially during the first episode. Remembering that this was a kids show it is unrealistic to expect Venger, or our Hereos to kill anybody. Perhaps "A Game of Thrones" would be a better TV show for that. I thought the story unfolded pretty well and revealed its secrets in an interesting way. It did seem choppy at times, or like they didn't spend enough time developing certain characters like Warduke. I loved the way that Venger was a man of his word even through all of his evil. Those that have watched will remember when our heroes miraculously defeat Demo Dragon and thus keep their promise to Venger. Venger is extremely angry and bewildered because he wanted/expected them to die, and can't fathom how they beat the dragon. He mutters and curses but allows them to go free instead of killing them. Venger tells his army that because they did what he asked he must honor his word. We got our first glimpse that Venger might be more than meets the eye and wonder who he really is and how he came to be. The Dungeon Master gives us a frightening clue at the end of that episode. Another good episode was Dragons Graveyard, probably the seminal episode of the whole series. Those who have watched already know this. -- Submitted By: (wilddrawfour) on September 30, 2011, 7:21 pm
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - TV Shows
Tough for me to admit but this is probably the best old-west genre media I've ever seen. The town and the people were real and alive to me. The story took place in an "authentic" environment. It was obviously stylized for TV, I'm not claiming that it was a realistic portrayal of life in the old west. I can't quite pinpoint what makes this show so good but I feel like it paid attention to its characters and spent time giving the town a personality too. This show is similar in some ways to Star Wars 4,5 & 6 for making you care about the characters and bringing you into the world with them. -- Submitted By: (wilddrawfour) on September 30, 2011, 6:38 pm

[e.g. Despite the fact that Darius Rucker seems to have carved out a rather successful new niche for himself as a country performer for the last few years , Hootie and the Blowfish is still supposed to be an intact alternate rock band]. #2. Most of R.E.M., I can take or leave, some of it I dislike but I do admit liking 'Happy, Shiny People' [the one song the band itself HATES]- mainly because of the contribution of the B-52's Kate Pierson. Believe me, that song has gotten me through more than one rough work day! #3- Getting into the Hall of Fame seems to be a crap shoot so I can't get too worked up about it. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on September 27, 2011, 1:45 pm

The coffee is headache-inducing as well as overly spendy, and I'm saying that as a Seattle-area resident (and therefore someone who could be considered to be under the collective geographical/cultural onus to like the place). I think it has to do with how they grind and roast the beans - the coffee packs a wallop unless it's "cut" with something else. However, they do make good lattes and hot chocolate. My girlfriend is a non-coffee drinker, so on those occasions when we get Starbucks gift cards (it happens sometimes at work), we use them to get warm-up drinks before going to hockey games: a hot chocolate for her, and that or a latte for me. Since we're using gift cards, the price isn't such a big concern, and since I avoid the coffee itself, I can enjoy the game without a splitting headache. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on September 24, 2011, 7:44 am
