Editorial note: The Dialogue Mass
43 comments:
While the dialogue Mass may be licit, it doesn't mean it's a good thing. Let us not forget that this was the spring board for many of the modernist bishops in the Rhine countries in Europe to make the Mass more "people oriented" and giving the people "active participation". We all know how that culminated at the Second Vatican Council and afterward with the invention of the Novus Ordo.

While I really dislike Dialogue Mases, and will avoid them at great costs, it's simply false to say they're not traditional.
As NC correctly points out, as has Mr. Tofari for years, the Dialogue Mass has been the norm in many countries for centuries. To act as if it's some new invention is simply not true.

Much thanks to Rorate Caeli for promoting my articles on the Dialog Mass.
I intend to eventually respond to Mr. Wierling in "The Remnant", but the main point that I wish to presently make (which is often unknown or overlooked) is that dialoging at Mass was the traditional form in Continental Europe and Hispanic countries for centuries before the ravages of the Protestant Reformation (which simultaneously nearly destroyed Gregorian chant).
I point this out in my second article - thus the Dialog Mass is not a "Modernist novelty of the 20th century" as many traditionalist gravely and mistakenly believe.
Unfortunately, this myth has been much promoted due to knee-jerk reactions to certain abuses in the New Mass or a certain "Low Mass mentality", even cultural preference, rather than based upon actual facts and the Church's mind on the matter.
Lastly, I certainly do not propose that every Low Mass should dialoged, and more importantly IF A DIALOG MASS CANNOT BE DONE WELL, DON'T DO IT ALL! (at least without some preliminary pastoral implementation; training on making responses).

What is there to dislike in the Dialogue Mass?
Adfero: you recognize that the Dialogue Mass has been the norm in many countries for centuries.
As NC has pointed out, in some areas of the globe almost all Low Masses are Dialogue Masses. And you have also recognized that to act as if it were a new invention is simply not true.
If that's the case, then what's the reason for your strong dislike of that form of the Mass, and why do you feel that you have to avoid it "at great costs"?
I just want to understand. That's all.
If you were a poorly educated person in matters liturgical, and if you shared the wrong belief of many that the Dialogue Mass is a novelty; then I would understand your intense dislike of that Mass.
But you do not partake of bizarre belief of some in the English speaking world that the traditional Dialogue Mass somehow LED to the Novus Ordo.
That's why I can understand A PREFERENCE for a Mass other than the Dialogue Mass (due to the fact that you are accustomed to the liturgical ways of your cultural environment), but I cannot understand the feeling of the need to AVOID the Dialogue Mass.
It is not the plague, but a legitimate form of the TLM.
And please understand that I'm not speaking of recent, bizarre forms of Dialogue Mass, such as Mass having vernacular dialogue; instead, I'm talking about the traditional form of dialogue Mass, that is, a Low Mass in which the people recite together with the servers the responses prescribed in the Ordinary of the Mass, including the Kyrie, Gloria, etc, but not the propers.

Being done well is a great point.
A recently attended Assumption Mass, a low TLM, at St. Mary's in Alexandria, Va, a church that has flirted with the TLM for years but never took it seriously enough to add a Sunday slot.
While the priest who said the Mass did an excellent job, the dialogue was awful, as they had no instruction from the priests on what they could say and not say. So, of course, they're belting out the Pater and other prayers reserved for the priest. And, sadly, the piano and a woman singing like a Novus Ordo singer was also incredibly distracting, and the lack of instruction on when to stand, sit or kneel led them to stand until the prayers at the foot of the altar were over.
If parishes are going to encourage, or allow, a Dialogue Mass in an area where it is abnormal, then they need to step up and educate before the Mass takes place -- especially when most in attendance assist as a Novus Ordo the rest of the time.

Prof, two reasons: one, I have ADD, and just cannot concentrate on the Maaa. Two, I spent 10 years in silent low TLMs, so now when I hear a dialogue it's jarring to me.
I'd a also add that I rarely hear a good one. An FSSP chapel in Ohio has one that's fine, and I'm not too distracted. But when NO parishes flirting with the TLM start one, and people naturally overdo the responses with flamboyancy as in the NO, it's just awful.
Hope that helps.
- 03 September, 2012 15:54
I agree with Adfero. I'll take the silence and reverence of a silent low TLM anyday. Maybe because I'm an American I feel that way, but I've been to Traditional dialogue Masses a few times and Yeah, the dialogue mass is licit, but I hope it stays for the most part in Continental Europe.
- 03 September, 2012 16:07
The Missa Dialogata was approved by the Sacred Congregation of Rites in 1935. I was quite shocked the first time I went to one. But I suppose like the amount of times the bell is rung, it really is a local custom.

I wonder if in Canada there was a happy development of dialogue Mass among Anglophones. I lived for a while in Quebec province, and the traditional Masses that I attended, when not sung Masses, were uniformly in dialogue form. Perhaps this represents the persistence or transplantation of the continental custom described by European commentors?
Has anyone ever heard the dialogue Mass involving the fullest allowable voicing of Mass texts permitted according to the 1958 instruction on sacred music in the Mass (De Musica sacra 31d)?
- 03 September, 2012 16:14
- Adfero said...
Let me also say one last thing: I don't much care for the silent Low Mass either. I find it rewarding, don't get me wrong. But nothing moves me like my church's professional polyphonic choir. I just cannot get enough.
- 03 September, 2012 16:15
I am not familiar with the Dialogue Mass but since it has been the norm for centuries in certain countries then fine with me.
However, if such a Mass were to be introduced here then obviously the laity needs to be educated first as to the proper procedures.
The local TLM I attend is a silent low Mass. My personal preference would be for a Solemn High Mass once a month.
- 03 September, 2012 16:53
"My personal preference would be for a Solemn High Mass"....
Mine too NIANTIC.

I have to restae that the silent Low Mass that I was used to when I was an altar server and Mass attendee provided many beautiful and profound momments for reflection and listening. If the priest said it with dignity and obvious dedication it was an extremely refreshing and renewing experience. I had this experience again when serving for a priest (RIP) of The SSPX Confraternity in UK some years ago. It was as though we both stood at the threshold to Heaven.
I love a really well done Solemn High Mass but The Low Mass cannot be underestimated. The "Dialogue" Mass is not necessary at all when people go to it prepared and in the correct frame of mind. This is how we can participate fully by being abandoned to The Real Presence and witnessing its focal sacrificial event. It is an astounding miracle.
- 03 September, 2012 17:38
Interesting links. I am an American, and every Tridentine mass I have been able to attend has been Low and silent, sometimes with a choir accompaniment. Though I am a little more accustomed to it now than I was before, I would very much like the opportunity to experience this "dialogue" version of the same.
- 03 September, 2012 17:40
I 'discovered' the TLM in the US but the only Dialogue Mass that I've ever attended was in my hometown, Rio. The responses were perfect and the timing seemed correct also. I was very confused and only later understood that it was a DM Low Mass. The priest, Brazilian, was ordained at Le Barroux. My parents occasionally attend the TLM in Brasilia, the national capital, and it is also a Dialogue Mass there. The priests are from IBP or Christ the King, I believe.

How does one know when a Low Mass is intended to be a dialogue Mass or not? (are we all supposed to be on the same page?) What is happening here in the Arlington diocese, where the TLM continues to grow in popularity, is a lot of bleed-over from the NO, people either saying out loud or murmuring audibly the responses with the servers, and sometimes even the prayers of the priest. I've only been to one TLM (Saint Rita's parish) where the priest was explicit about the form being a "Dialogue Mass", and everyone was on board with it. Not my preference, but it's better (IMO) than the "mixed bag"...95% silently praying the Mass and a few responding out loud (and off cadence with the servers). that can be quite distracting.
- 03 September, 2012 18:06
Thank you Rorate Coeli for your balanced approach to the whole matter. The 'Dialogue Mass' can be a fruitful way to participate in the Holy Mass, which gives outward vocal expression to the inner participation of the laity. I have no problems with this form of Mass and no problems where the server alone answers.
- 03 September, 2012 19:14
The article enjoins one to avoid "excessive rhetoric" yet employs exactly that when the author drops his parenthetical "... defended almost to the lengths of collective paroxysm in America."
- 03 September, 2012 19:17
Traditionalists chide "Novus Ordo" Catholics who prefer liturgical novelties to ancient liturgical Tradition.
However, Traditionalists often favor and promote Low Masss which, of course, is outside the realm of the Church's ancient and universal liturgical Tradition.
Authentic Eastern and Western Catholic liturgical Tradition does not promote the practice of minimizing Liturgy.
Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) declared that the Low Mass mentality which, unfortunately, is alive and well throughout the Latin Church, does not promote ideal Liturgy.
- 03 September, 2012 19:18
My concern about the Dialogue Mass is the time it adds to the Mass. As a priest who has had to offer an early morning Mass within a tight schedule, St. Alphonsus Liguori's admonition that a Low Mass should not be shorter than 20 minutes and longer than 30 has been an unattainable goal. 35 minutes is about as fast as I can reverently offer it (without the faithful receiving Communion). It may work for a Sunday Mass, but when people need to get to work during the weekday the Dialogue Mass (beyond them adding in "et cum spiritu tuo" and "Amen") is not helpful.
- 03 September, 2012 19:36
I remember when I first attended Mass at St. Vincent de Paul in Kansas City, everything was so quiet, and that's the way I thought it was supposed to be. Then I lived in Spain discovered that a) it is impossible to keep a Spaniard from speaking for an hour and b) hearing the dialogue from people who can speak Latin clearly and forcefully adds a beautiful new dimension to the Mass.
- 03 September, 2012 19:42
This issue, at one time, nearly split our "Latin Mass Community" in Baltimore. Neither position is better, but I can't see how we're going to attract many from the Novus Ordo world to the Traditional Mass if we don't offer the dialogue Mass as an option. When I travel through Europe, I thoroughly enjoy the Dialogue Masses there.
- 03 September, 2012 19:44
I don't know why some people say they can't approve of Dialogue Masses.
Popes St. Pius X and Ven. Pius XII recommended them highly. I would put the teachings and exhortation of saints of the Church above my own personal feelings and preferences.
Furthermore, "Dialoge Masses" have been the preferred method of praying the Eucharistic Sacrifice in all the Eastern Churches, both those in communion with Rome and those not.
I am pleased to share that my own Eastern parish will soon start celebrating Matins before the Sunday Divine Liturgy.
- 03 September, 2012 20:17
When I was an altar boy and then young adult in the late 50s-early 60s, the Dialogue Mass was common, and it was my preference if a Solemn High Mass was not available. Our parish identified it in the bulletin, so those who attended generally were good at the responses. Everyone knew which was the high Mass, which the silent Low, which the Mass with congregational hymns, and which the dialogue Mass(which did not have hymns). All reverent, all licit, all beautiful in their own ways. Now that was diversity...
- 03 September, 2012 20:22
- LeonG said...
One important point to note with the "Dialogue Mass" is to ensure that servers give a lead to the rhytm of the responses. Otherwise we can have members of the congregation racing ahead with them out of step. When I was young the parish priest decided to use this form on occasion we had prayer cards with forward slashes between the phrases as they should be said. This, with a good lead from the servers kepy everyone in time. If we kept our voices low as the celebrant then it was a silent Low Mass.

@Tom: "However, Traditionalists often favor and promote Low Masss which, of course, is outside the realm of the Church's ancient and universal liturgical Tradition."
Has it not been the necessity in a world where priests who can say the EF are few and far between? I've never been to a Solemn High Mass. Sung Low Mass yes ...

So if I travel to an English-speaking country, am I expected not to reply with the acolytes during low mass?
Does this in any way affect the sung mass on Sundays?

Before the introuction of the Novus Ordo, we Latin-Rite Catholics in Europe knew the Missa Pontificalis, Missa Solemnis, MIssa Cantata and Missa Dialogata (DIalogue Mass). That is what we still have today. I was an altar boy before the 2nd Vatican Council, and never knew nor did my parents know, the MIssa Privata in which the faithful remained silent whilst the servers alone responded. ALso, at the Missa Dialogata the standing, sitting and kneeling rules are followed as at Missa Solemnis and Missa Cantata, which are the true standard. I would not attend a Mass in which the faithful are so passive, as to sing and say nothing, in which they kneel througout, making no distinction bettween the most holy moment of the Canon and Communion, and the rest of Mass. All the Popes of the XXth century desired that the Faitfhul should chant or recite their proper parts, as in former ligurgically worthier times. So be it!

- New Catholic said...
You may try, Daniel, but do not be surprised if everyone starts to look at you as if you had just arrived from Mars...
No spoken (as opposed to sung) response is given by the faithful. In strictly sung masses, the faithful may sing, or may join the choir, or may sing some parts in dialogue with the choir, or may not sing at all - that varies considerably from place to place in the Anglosphere.
In the TLM, as in everything else in which a community is involved, it is good to first observe the general demeanor of those present, and join them (if action is required) or restrain oneself from doing what one is used to doing.

Dialogue can be quelled-I personally found it annoying as a server-by making responses in voce clara with sufficient intensity. If their ears are satisfied, then their mouths will stay quiet. I just don't like hearing many voices at Low Mass, and I like voices coming from the sanctuary better.
- 04 September, 2012 03:12
- Dave said...
I think the issue with Dialogue Mass is an excellent example of proper inculturation in the Liturgy. Nothing was added, nothing was changed except that visible participation of the laity were present. The Hispanic and Continental European culture and society allows it and therefore it must be respected and recognize same for English Speaking people who hears the Mass silently. Nothing should be made in the name of legitimacy or appropriateness because the same Sacrifice is offered, same in intention is said and both are for the good of Holy Church.

Nice and patronizing - sounds here that the Mass is all about you. Am I wrong? All this "I like" - "I prefer" business when the greatest event that exists takes place...
I don't think we will win the New Mass-goers over with this attitude...
- 04 September, 2012 07:39
- Vox Cantoris said...
So, a ten-year old boy can make the responses but adults in the Congregation cannot?
We will not move forward with the EF without the dialogue.
I continue to be amazed at how a liturgical attitude born out of Irish suffering continues to be promulgated in North America as the "right" way.
- 04 September, 2012 09:36
Until a few minutes ago, I wasnt even aware of the fact that a Mass with the Faithful making responses during it was labelled a "Dialog Mass". So, I'm glad to have learned something.
That said... When I first started assisting at the Traditional Mass, I recall the majority of them were Low Masses, and I also recall that there seemed to be a lot of people making responses (e.g., "Et cum spiritu tuo" when the priest says "Dominus vobiscum"). Some people didnt. I just took that as a matter of personal preference.
Looking back, I do recall this was not limited to either diocesan-sponsored masses, or masses sponsored by the FSSPX. Lay Faithful in the pews in either type of venue would respond to the priest, or not, and there didnt seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why. Again, it seemed to me to be a matter of preference.
My personal opinion is that it didnt take anything away from the Mass when they did respond. In fact it seemed like it made the Masses more "powerful" on a strictly human level. The responses I've heard have been given uniformly in a "sotto voce" manner; and, when more than a few people have done so, I've found that these Masses were even more inspiring than the ones in which everyone except for the priest and his altar boys are absolutely silent.

"But nothing moves me like my church's professional polyphonic choir. I just cannot get enough."
It is Catholic teaching that merit is earned in individual action and also in the action of groups, as in liturgy. This merit is in addition to the intrinsic merit of each mass, the sacrifice of Christ--that is the same in every mass; I am talking about extrinsic merit. Masses earn extrinsic merit on a scale, and to make the point clearly, a mass offered by the pope earns more merit for everyone there than a mass by a priest, and so forth. This difference in merit extends to the vestments, the flowers, the degree of the extent of the state of grace among the participants, and the music.
I was a member of one fabulous 'professional choir' at a notable indult site. I quit. It was a den of temptation to sin--advocacy for gay marriage, advocacy for sexual license, many of the members, if not on the sexual liberation bandwagon openly, expressed their disdain for Catholicism--but were making a little pay or building a resume and lapped up the opportunity to sing for these Catholic fools. The soprano soloist wore dresses open to her mid chest and loved to lean way over the organ. Gay activists privately 'conferenced' with the site's seminarians in the choir loft. I am not trying to shock but only to express what I saw.
And so I wonder, which mass earns more merit, the one with the gorgeous music of the 'professional choir,' or the one in the poor little chapel with the few little worshippers singing scratchy hymns from ragged hymnals, but all in the state of grace (which condition earns big merit, by the way)?
I need all the merit I can get. I have adult children in precarious circumstances and much in need of my spiritual help (you can donate merit, you know). So I wonder about it, and so should you, poster of that quote. The music may thrill you, but if your professional choir is like the one I experienced, and some investigation could tell you, then perhaps you are better off, in spite of your feelings, to attend another mass, or, better in my opinion, to try to get a good choir, if not a professional one, from the congregation alone.
My references supporting the remarks about mass and merit are varied, but Von Cochem (The Incredible Catholic Mas) is one. I have (with permission of the author) Robynn Schamel's "The Merits of the Mass" on my blog, with all her traditional references listed, although I would understand if the moderators cut this comment as 'self-promoting,' although it is not intended to be:

SSPX has dialogue masses in Mexico, not in the US. Any morning you can make your way before dawn to San Atanasio, in the vibrant, central Santa Teresita barrio in Guadalajara, and get your Latin on, with all the rest of the poor on their knees.
It is a priory, so there are priests to do it, at times directing from the sanctuary the whole congregation in the singing of high mass (not the propers, or at least not all of it). It argues that, speaking globally, speaking of the benefits of education in these arts among the ordinary men and women and children of the world, the discussion of the benefits of both forms is not neutral, or simply a matter of taste or custom.
- 04 September, 2012 13:06

These are certainly not simple matters, particularly when they are matters of local custom. But the problem is arguing that either of them is "illegitimate" or "fruitless".

Janet Baker:
To your comment "SSPX has dialogue masses in Mexico, not in the US".
Actually the SSPX does have dialoged Masses in the US, particularly for the Masses offered for its academy students. I believe the Winona seminary also has a dialoged Mass from time to time and certainly this is the case in El Paso, TX, which has a congregation made up nearly equally of Hispanics.
- 04 September, 2012 13:51
- Taylor said...
If we are supposed to be big on the organic growth of the liturgy, then why do we resist a Dialogue Mass that has been spreading naturally?
People can't even murmur an amen? Give me a break. Do not kill the regrowth of the TLM by misplaced nostalgia, some hyper-rigidity to "orthodoxy" where it is in fact adiaphora, or because of a misplaced fear of NO association if the laity is involved.
Praying the Mass is the highest prayer itself. Let us express our true, _inner_ active participation of prayer with vocal assent where possible and appropriate.
We should not be our own worst enemy on this.
- 04 September, 2012 14:48
- New Catholic said...
Thank you for you comments. Since I do consider this an artificial debate (as long as no impositions are made that disturb the peace of each congregation, there is no real problem related to the dialogue or to the non-dialogue Mass), limited to a very small part of the Traditional world, this thread will be closed.

Due to my occupation, I listen to a number of different podcasts every week. The topics vary from show to show and they also rotate in and out of my top 5. The five examples in this article have remained on my "MUST LISTEN TO" list for quite some time. I'd like to share these with you in hopes of expanding your listening choices.
SOFA KING PODCAST (http://www.sofakingpodcast.com/)
On April 13, 2015 the SOFA KING PODCAST (@sofakingpodcast) launched with Where's the Water & Human Cyborgs. This episode discusses the California water crisis and Biohackers, a group of DIY cyborgs enhancing themselves from home. This Bakersfield, CA, based podcast discusses numerous topics twice each week. Your three hosts, Brent, Brad and Dave are funny, witty and just plain entertaining. Chuck Norris, Bigfoot, Zodiac Killer and IRA-Terrorists are just a few of the topics these guys have discussed. I listen to this show because the hosts are not politically correct and they often poke fun at the topics they cover while being informative at the same time.
PIXELS (http://frenchspin.com/)
Patrick Beja (@NotPatrick) has been producing French and English language podcasts since 2006. PIXELS, a video game podcast, opened it's door in October of 2014. Unlike a lot of other video game shows, this one focuses on game news and analysis – at least it did when it first launched. It has grown to be much more than that since first airing. Patrick is a well spoken individual who loves video games and you'll hear that when he talks about them from episode to episode. He also loves Blizzard games so that's a plus in my book.
SHOCK WAVES (http://www.blumhouse.com/tag/shock-waves/)
I only started listening to this podcast a few months ago. However, SHOCK WAVES (@ShockWavesPod) has fast become my go to show for all things horror. SHOCK WAVES is a bi-product of Blumhouse. This is a procast, meaning, it's done in studio and is very well produced. Your hosts Rob Galluzzo, Elric Kane, Ryan Turek and Rebekah McKendry are in the business of horror and all know their shit. While some of their discussion revolves around more popular horror (Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc.), they often recommend a variety of odd and strange cinema to their listeners. This is why I listen and it's why you should listen as well.
SWORD AND SCALE (http://swordandscale.com/)
SWORD AND SCALE (@SwordAndScale) started small but quickly became my go-to true crime podcast. Your host, Mike Boudet, talks about mass murder, sex crimes, killer moms, torture, mob crimes and much more. This is another show I consider a procast. It's done in studio and is extremely well produced. You'll hear the second you start listening. One word of warning, Mike often covers crimes against children. These topics can be touchy if you're a parent so tread carefully when choosing to listen to certain episodes because some of this stuff is can be a difficult, stomach-churning listen.
THE RIALTO REPORT (http://www.therialtoreport.com/)
THE RIALTO REPORT (@TheRialtoReport) is hosted by both Ashley West and April Hall. This show focuses on the adult entertainment industry between the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. It's primarily an interview show, but they frequently discuss all things related to the Golden Age of Pornography. What sets this show apart from others like it are their guests. Jeanne Silver, Bob Chinn, Seka, Rick Savage and Jerry Butler are just a few of the former stars they've interviewed in the past. They dig deep to find these people, then unearth unanswered questions and revealing information in each and every conversation. The Golden Age of Porn isn't necessarily something I'm interested in, but each episode is gripping in ways I never thought would be. This speaks to the power of this podcast so I'm always recommending it to those looking for something new.
There you have it, my current go-to podcasts. With tens-of-thousands of mediocre shows vying for your attention, you should consider these and enjoy what they have to offer. I'm curious, what shows do you listen to? Which would you recommend? Use the comment section below to share your favorite shows with our readers.

This is a summary of my 2nd week of my project to learn Egyptian Arabic.
In week 1, I prepared a self-introduction, looked up some useful vocabulary to talk about myself, and started to learn some of the vocabulary by starting a flashcard deck.
I had planned a conversation with a native speaker, but they didn't turn up for the lesson… bad luck for the first time!
Anyway, I refocused and set my priorities for week two: start to build a proper foundation in Arabic by using a textbook to learn the basics.
How do you find the right language resources?
Since I decided to focus on Egyptian Arabic, rather than Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), it's made it difficult to find a good textbook.
Impossible, actually. I haven't been able to find anything here in Doha!
Instead, I turned to online services. When I learnt Cantonese I used Innovative Language's Cantoneseclass101.com, which I really liked. So I checked out their Arabic version. Unfortunately, I didn't like what I found – mixed messages and a serious lack of content, but I won't go into that here.
I turned to another online product that a few readers had recommended to me: Rocket Language Egyptian Arabic (affiliate link).
I'd like to say that it was a strategic choice, that I heavily researched the best options etc etc…
…but to be honest I was a bit desperate! It was the only online equivalent to a textbook I could find!
When you find yourself stuck with something, just make a decision and move on.
I'll save the review of Rocket till another time, but suffice it to say that the foundation of the course is a collection of lessons based around dialogues.
Perfect. Just what I wanted!
How do you study a language at the beginning?
This has been simple.
Sit-down study: 30-40 minutes, 4-5 days per week
Flashcards: 5-15 minutes, every day
Here's my process:
- Start from lesson 1 in Rocket Arabic
- Skip the lessons themselves – they're 20-30 minutes each
- Instead, just play the dialogue from the lesson (less than a minute)
- Play it over and over, without looking at the translation
- When I've got used to it, keep listening, this time with the translation
- Look up words that I don't know using Lisaan Masry
- Transfer useful language to my flashcard deck
- Go away and revise my flashcards, little and often, every single day, multiple times throughout the day (even if it's only for 60 seconds at a time).
Now here's the key.
Most of what I exported from the dialogues to my flashcards were full sentences.
The foundations of speaking in fluent sentences
This is vital.
I've learnt from past experience that:
If you want to speak more fluently and easily when it comes time to talk, you need to be practising full sentences, or at least smaller "chunks", right from the start.
This video above shows you step-by-step what I was doing.
That's pretty much it.
It's simple, but it works.
Because this focus on phrases is working well for me at the moment I'll probably keep doing this now for a couple more weeks, focusing most of my energy on it.
I don't want to get distracted, and this is the best way to guarantee progress at this stage.
Did I understand everything?
Within the material on Rocket there were occasional grammatical constructions that I didn't really understand, and some words that I couldn't seem to find in the dictionary.
This is OK. I'm trying to focus on progress over perfection.
Just focus on what you think is "learnable" at whatever stage you're at, and keep moving forward.
So that's it – pretty simple.
Simple is good. It makes it much easier to maintain momentum and keep going.
Over to you – what do you think? What would you have done differently in week 2? Leave me a comment below to let me know.

I am moving to LA to get my graduate degree after I graduate with a major in theatre and a minor in film next Spring. I am going to get a graduate degree in film, and the schools I am most considering are Calarts, USC, and Chapman. Is there an actual posistion for Disney Historian at Disney? Any thoughts, would be appreciated.

It is believed that BMW is going slow in the matter of new car production. In fact, it has several opportunities introduced in the markets. The manufacturer is looking forward to improve the vehicles by using new trim levels. With the passage of time, BMW has launched so many impressive vehicles and cars. The sedan luxury cars introduced by this company are very popular in the industry. It is believed that BMW is a superb opportunity for the fans who love luxury cars. It is time to see the features of 2017 BMW X1.
2017 BMW X1 – Exterior and Interior Design
The X1 series is coming with an improved structure. BMW is expected to launch the new version with a unique platform. This will change the shape and look of X1. Use of aluminum is more with steel. This will definitely reduce the total structural weight of the vehicle.
There are numerous exterior improvements expected. The experts are hopeful that BMW will make the upcoming model more stylish. It is time to get rid of conventional trends. The new 2017 BMW X1 model will be a superb luxury car with an appealing structure. The grille is BMW based. It has large openings for the better aeration. Grille is divided into two sections. BMW has improved the aerodynamics this time. The vehicle has LED based indicators and headlights. The bonnet is more stylish because of the upraised margins. It gives a sober look and appearance. The tires width are 17 inches and have aluminum alloy rims.
On the other hand, the driving cabin has been improved with the help of special infrastructure. There is a combination of new speedometers, power steering, a new gearbox and attractive dashboard. The touchscreen is large (8 inches) with special sound system. There are 7 speakers present to enhance sound effect. The users will find interior environment adjustment, automatic climate updates, satellite radio, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and smartphone connectors. Google maps, rearview camera and improved navigation are also present in the new model.
2017 BMW X1 – Engine and Fuel Economy
The matter of engine setup is very critical. BMW is expected to make BMW X1 more powerful. Engine is turbocharged with 2.0 liters fuel capacity. It has 4 cylinders to generate 240 horsepower. The vehicle can make 260 lb ft torque. There is no update about the hybrid engine, transmission and drivetrain. The 2017 BMW X1 will cover 25 mpg in city. The highway drive will be 30 miles per gallon.
2017 BMW X1 – Release Date and Price
The 2017 BMW X1 will be released in the USA and UK first. BMW will introduce it in New York auto show in the last months of 2017. The base price will be $35,000 to $40,000 in USA. There are high chances that 2017 BMW X1 will compete with the Toyota Camry, Audi Q5 and Mercedes Benz GLA45. BMW will introduce all standard safety functions such as airbags, anti-theft alarms and anti-lock brakes. The rearview camera is also present in order to avoid the accidents.

Cuomo must lead the campaign against corruption
Whether Andrew Cuomo wants to run for president or just restore his fading luster as governor, there's a way: lead, and win, a battle to clean up the corruption that demeans politics and threatens democracy in New York state. He can't piecemeal it, as he himself has said. His actions have to be big, bold and comprehensive.
The governor's previous attempt at ethics reform two years ago didn't quite qualify. While it did introduce some useful financial disclosure requirements and create an independent ethics body to investigate and punish unethical behavior in both the legislative and executive branches, that body, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE), does most of its work in secret. Cuomo also has not championed campaign finance reform, as he said he would, and specifically publicly financed elections, which could do a lot to take the big money out of politics. And he caved on redistricting for the 2012 elections, after promising that he would not approve any map that was not independently drawn.
But now he has another chance, as the scandals that have bedeviled the state for years, and that Cuomo promised to address by cleaning up Albany, just keep coming. The most recent, two weeks ago, featured the FBI's arrests of a sitting state senator and state assemblyman, one for giving bribes (to get the Republican nomination for New York City mayor), the other for accepting them (in return for legislation).
After speaking in generalities and generally trying to lower expectations in the days immediately following the arrests, Cuomo last week offered some specific proposals that could actually change attitudes and behavior. They include: tougher penalties for breaking existing corruption laws; some new, more-easy-to-prosecute laws; more power for prosecutors to combat public corruption; and a requirement that public officials report corrupt acts by their colleagues.
These proposals have real promise, but they are not yet part of a specific bill. It's not enough to propose them, but to make sure they are adopted. And they aren't enough. To be comprehensive, and effective, they have to be coupled with such things as campaign finance reform and an independent commission to investigate public corruption, something else Cuomo has often talked about in the past but never followed through on.
Cuomo also raised the possibility of making the Legislature full-time. Taxpayers won't like it, but it should be seriously considered as part of a carrot-and-stick approach to discourage corrupt behavior. As Cuomo points out, many legislators are lawyers and business operators, and "the number of potential conflicts goes way up."
Making the job full-time would cost more money in salary, but if you took away the per-diems and leadership stipends that almost all of them get, not that much more. It would also increase their pensions, another carrot, which could be offset by a big stick: legislation that would take away the pensions of public officials convicted of crimes involving political corruption.

Healthy Chicken Satay
Ditch the takeout, everything is better when it's homemade! My chicken satay skewers are simple to make with a delicious allergy friendly dipping sauce.
In my house food on a stick is extremely popular. I love grilling skewers when we have company over. Everyone grabbing sticks right off the fire, no dishes required. That is my idea of a perfect BBQ. Our house is small, so in door dinner parties can get crowded, but with these chicken satay skewers, you don't have to worry about finding a seat at the table for everyone. Just grab food as your like and mingle, that's my style!
In most restaurants, chicken satay is served with that addictive peanut sauce, perfect for dunking. However, I've got a new addiction of my own, Soy Nut butter! There are so many great brands, but I love Wow Butter! The texture mimics that of peanut butter, but I prefer the taste over the traditional stuff. Slightly salty it's got a richness that pairs perfectly with the coconut milk and sesame oil in this dipping sauce. I think it's great to have allergy friendly products you can count on. Even if you don't have a food allergy I can bet you know someone who does! And know you can feed those friends my Healthy Chicken Satay!

Boise State men's basketball standout Chandler Hutchison is returning to school for his senior season, the university announced on Thursday.
Hutchison has officially filed the necessary paperwork to withdraw his name from the 2017 NBA draft and return to college for his final season of eligibility.
"I am extremely grateful for the opportunities, interest and feedback I received from many NBA teams," said Hutchison. "The time is right to put my focus back on winning a Mountain West Championship. Everything I learned the last month will help me be a better play, teammate and future draft pick."
It was back on April 10 that the Broncos' leading scorer and First-Team All-Mountain player entered his named into the 2017 NBA draft.
MORE: Hutchison on decision to enter NBA draft: 'It's a huge opportunity'
Hutchison made the decision not to hire an agent leaving the door open for him to return to Boise State as long as he met the May 24 deadline to pull his name out of the draft.
Over the last month, the 6-foot-7 196-pound guard attended multiple private workouts for NBA teams before deciding the right decision was to hone his craft for one more year at the college level.
"All of the evaluations were very encouraging," said Hutchison. "I'll continue to work on extending my shooting range and adding strength while keeping my mobility. The NBA is a grown man's league, but I know if I work even harder than I did last year then by this time next season I will belong. That's all the motivation I need."
Round 4.. Hungrier than ever 😤💍 pic.twitter.com/zxZVCIxcLr— Chandler hutchison (@ChanHutch15) May 11, 2017
The announcement will come as a relief to many Boise State fans, especially considering it came on the same day that we learned the team's second-leading scorer, Paris Austin, was granted a release from the program.
Hutchison ranked fourth in the Mountain West in scoring this past year, averaging 17.4 points per game. He also led the Broncos in rebounds (7.8), steals (1.2) and field goal percentage (49.5%).
During the 2016-17 season, Hutchison became the first player in school history to record 500 points, 200 rebounds and 75 assists in a single-season.

Allison Stock
Allison came to us from Indiana where she began her hair journey in 2001. While behind the chair she perfected her coloring and styling skills. She has been featured on the covers of numerous Midwestern regional wedding magazines for her special occasion styling. Allison is a firm believer that continuing education is crucial to the success of anyone in the beauty industry. Throughout her career she has attended multiple hair shows, coloring, cutting, styling, and color correction classes.

She trained under Fredric Holzberger and some of the biggest names in Aveda. While there she was certified in Aveda color, Aveda cutting, and textured hair styling.
She had found another facet of the beauty industry that she truly enjoys, sharing her wealth of knowledge with upcoming stylists. In the summer of 2016 along with her husband and their fur children, Allison moved to Denver where she started teaching with Paul Mitchell the School Denver and very quickly became their color specialist. But it was her fondness for being a daymaker, a need to express her own creativity, and her dedication to Aveda that has brought her back full circle.

Subject: Fifteen sentences simple Essay/Speech on "Patriotism"
Mode: Medium
Grade- 10
Target Age Group: 10-15 Years
Total sentences: 20
Contributed By: Shubha Dinakar, St.Joseph's School Mumbai
I would like to begin with a question, "How significant is the word PATRIOTISM to you?" Does it mean showing our overflowing love for your country when it wins a cricket match? Or does it mean an NRI sitting in front of the idiot box or the laptop and commenting or applauding a small act of bravery shown on the media! We all need to be awakened to the fact that it has become just another word for us. It is just a term used by politicians often for their benefit in the election campaign. To our forefathers who gave their lives to liberate this country it meant defending and devotion to ones country: that means also its countrymen irrespective of their caste, creed or culture. We need to think again do we use the word in the same sense! India is a country that is famous for its secularism. People around the world respect India because it is home to people of versatile cultures, languages and religions. They consider it a miracle, all these people living under a single roof. We Indians are proud of our variedness. Then why are our sectarian thoughts coming up now! Why do we want to divide our thoughts? Why do we fall game to people who want to divide us, and are trying to make their thoughts ours! India, wake up we are falling prey to such antisocial elements! If anyone tries to inject in us the parasite namely casteism, this is when we should show our patriotism by the single word "INDIAN." As Indians we should think of the future of our country. We should sow the seeds of unity and prosperity and not of caste and creed, if so we are preparing a battlefield for the future generation which is sure to be doomed! We should not forget the words of our leaders-United we stand, Divided we fall!

Alas, bbqcrb, we knew ye all too short a time.
You came, (http://caps....603801417887)
you pumped Conversion Solutions (http://caps.fool.com/Ticker.aspx?ticker=CSHD.PK)
then you disappeared, along with about 95% of the CSHD equity value, when the SEC finally came down on the blatantly fraudulent-looking scheme hatched by our nearly literate friend, Rufus Paul Harris.
Here's a real head scratcher. How is CSHD stock even worth $90-some million today?
Personally, I like to think that bbqchrbt WAS Mr. Harris, but I don't think we'll ever know.
You may have made one of the worst-ever single-stock calls in caps, BBQcrbt, but some of us appreciated your vigor!
Definately one for the ages.
And the name bbqchickenrobot *is* pretty darn amusing, all by itself. Is it a robot made of a chicken, or a chicken that is a robot? I don't know!
Ha! I'm here - and excuse me sir, but I am not RPH... I am a new investor. And I happened to believe in the stock legitimately. Why is anyone who supports a stock a pumper? lol. Typical.... And it WAS and still may be a good stock. It went from $0.12 to $4.00. If you invested in that stock in the right places, when it hit $4 you IN THE VERY LEAST should have taken profits - or at least, recovered your initial investment (with relative ease and deft thought). I don't see how this was a bad investment for me? Maybe for you or others who didn't go by the book... It's only bad if you held your initial investment in the position due to greediness and now you are down 10's to hundreds of percentage points. Which, by no means, was me. lol.
Anyhow, the stock still isn't over, no scam has been proved (yet - remember innocent UNTIL proven guilty) and the SEC is pretty quick to drop the hammer on scams. It's a waiting game. Here's a thought TMFBent.... I made money on this stock, did you? I still stand to make even more money if the 6 to 1 split/reset hits (which according to RPH and/or John Arlitt, it will). If it only hit's a minimum of $1 - I will have have made a profit of ten times my initial investment (and keep in mind, this is after already pulling out my initial investment. lol. Please, tell me again how I went wrong? But, on a lighter note... I'm happy you missed me :)
P.S. - Steve819, quit being a follower. Be a leader. Get out there and be somebody, i know you can do it.
Wow, glad you're still here, BBQrobot. I implore you to think a bit more critically. Do you actually believe all the garbage RPH spewed? Do you really think there's ANYTHING to this stock other than a promotion and a pile of gullible holders?
If so, please let us know exactly how you think this company will make money, because as far as any of us can see, it has no real business plan other than claiming that it's going to fund other businesses. Given the fact that the main operators have trouble writing in complete sentences, most of us doubt it.
If you believe in this company and somehow made money in this stock, it's important that you realize one thing: it was luck. No shame there. We've all been lucky. But people who confuse being lucky with being right don't last long in this game.
Glad to have you back. Please let us all know what else your looking at. We may be able to help you avoid investing in another pile of trash like Conversion Solutions.
