Just some silly article with really good facts. (Thank you dear writer.) It quotes technoratti's latest figures from Dave Sifry's SXSW State of the Blogosphere presentation, but more importantly it also quotes some from Forbes. Forbes estimates of 23,000 new blogs everyday and 12 million blogs within a couple years are much more conservative than Dave Sifry's numbers.
Dave's quoted as saying 30,000 - 40,000 new blogs a day. Also, given that there are 7 million blogs right now and that we've been doubling every five months for the last 20 months... if the trend continues we'd hit 14 million in 5 months and then 28 million in ten months. That's a wee bit different than Forbes estimate of 12 million in 2 years.
I wonder where Forbes gets there numbers? I mean even though it's been doubling every 5 months surely blog growth has to slow down at some point soon? But to slow down so much that we'll have only 12 million in two years. That's a little more radically conservative than Dave Sifry's are radically liberal.
With their accessibility and ease of use, blogs have risen to be ?the most democratizing force since the rise of the Internet itself,? notes Dan Farber in an article on techupdate.zdnet.com. In 1999, there were only 50 blogs in the blogosphere; now, there are more than 7 million listed on RSS search engine Technorati alone. With an estimated 23,000 blogs born everyday (according to Fortune), the number may reach as high as 12 million in a couple of years or so.
The blog, of course, is still morphing in form for as long as technological innovations allow it. Moblog or mobile blog seems to be slow in catching up in the Philippines but the December 2004 tsunami disaster has given rise to the so-called ?vlog? or video blogging which uses video as a blog post. Music lovers, meanwhile, have come up with the MP3 or audio blog where music files, most of them hard-to-find, are shared and made available for download.
Great post, Michael. There are nearly 12 million bloggers in South Korea alone. If the numbers seem large, you need to compare them to other common behaviors. What percentage of people use mobile phones? IM? Email?
Even Google doesn't claim to have mapped at all the web. Part of the rapid growth at Technorati is just discovering new areas of the blogosphere. "I mapped 3 square miles of the ocean, twice as much as last year" doesn't tell you much about the size of the ocean, just the size of the mapped ocean.

Russell Allen (ur. 19 lipca 1971 w Long Beach) – amerykański wokalista, muzyk i autor tekstów, członek zespołów Symphony X i Adrenaline Mob, a ponadto uczestnik różnych innych projektów muzycznych.

Życiorys
Russell Allen dołączył do zespołu Symphony X w 1995 roku i nagrał z tym zespołem osiem albumów studyjnych. Jego pierwszy album solowy zatytułowany Atomic Soul ukazał się 26 kwietnia 2005 roku. Podczas wykonywania utworów z tego albumu na koncertach, poza śpiewaniem, grał też na gitarze basowej. W 2011 roku wraz z gitarzystą Mikiem Orlando i perkusistą Mikiem Portnoyem założył zespół Adrenaline Mob.

Allen znany jest także pod pseudonimem "Sir Russell Allen". Poza Symphony X i Adrenaline Mob angażuje się również w inne projekty, jak na przykład zespół Star One (śpiewa w nim od 2002 roku) czy orkiestra rockowa Trans-Siberian Orchestra, której członkiem był w latach 2013–2018. W lecie 2005 roku wraz z Symphony X uczestniczył w trasie Gigantour razem z takimi zespołami jak Dream Theater, Megadeth i Nevermore.

W 2005 roku Russell Allen wraz ze znanym z występów w takich grupach jak Ark i Masterplan wokalistą Jørnem Lande, multiinstrumentalistą, producentem i autorem tekstów Magnusem Karlssonem oraz perkusistą Jaime'em Salazarem stworzył międzynarodowy projekt o nazwie . Projekt w tym składzie wydał trzy albumy: The Battle (2005), The Revenge (2007) i The Showdown (2010). W 2013 roku miejsce Karlssona zajął Timo Tolkki, zaś Salazara zastąpił Jami Huovinen i w tym zestawieniu Allen/Lande wydał czwarty album, zatytułowany The Great Divide (2014). Po wydaniu tej płyty Jørn Lande postanowił zakończyć współpracę z projektem.

W 2014 roku Russel Allen i niemiecki producent oraz basista Mat Sinner stworzyli projekt Level 10, który w styczniu następnego roku wydał album Chapter One. W 2015 roku Allen stworzył także wraz z gitarzystą zespołu Whitesnake i byłym członkiem zespołu Night Ranger Joelem Hoekstrą side-project o nazwie Joel Hoekstra's 13, z którym 16 października wydał płytę Dying to Live.

Po dłuższej przerwie do projektu Allena z 2005 roku wrócił Magnus Karlsson, a w 2019 roku nową wokalną partnerką Allena została Anette Olzon, była wokalistka zespołu Nightwish i obecna wokalistka zespołu The Dark Element. Z Olzon w składzie projekt pod nowym szyldem  wydał album Worlds Apart, którego premiera miała miejsce 6 marca 2020 roku.

Inspiracje muzyczne
W jednym z wywiadów Russell Allen stwierdził: "Jeśli chodzi o śpiew, Ronnie James Dio jest zdecydowanie na szczycie mojej listy inspiracji". Jako pozostałe inspiracje wskazał Bruce'a Dickinsona z zespołu Iron Maiden i Paula Rodgersa z zespołu Bad Company, a ponadto podkreślił, że uwielbia Davida Lee Rotha i że miał on na niego wpływ w kwestii bycia artystą scenicznym.

Adreno 506 is going to bring the enhanced graphical performance in A5 while for the multi-tasking 4 GB RAM of this phone has the responsibility. 32 GB of the built-in storage is selected instead of 128 GB used in the previous phone where A5 also has a dedicated SD card slot which is capable to expand the internal storage up to 256 GB.

When my daughter was 6 weeks old, she was running a 104 temperature and my husband and I had to rush her to the emergency room for treatment. It was scary. I honestly did not know what to do for her. I was sad and angry that this was happening. All I wanted to do was take away her pain. As the doctors told me that she would have to have a lumbar puncture to see if she had meningitis, I broke into tears. It was at that moment that I knew I had to do something. I realized that I was not as helpless as I imagined. I had "Choices!" I chose to have a specialist come down to the emergency room to evaluate her before the emergency doctor who was not trained in pediatrics did the procedure. I had a choice to call my parents to pick up my son, so my husband and I could stay with my daughter. I did not want my son to be traumatized by what was happening.
I had choices. I made them and I did not feel helpless anymore. It turned out that my daughter had RSV and made a full recovery.
"We always have CHOICES" to make as parents. None of us want to see our children in emotional or physical pain. However, we are also not "Super" parents. We feel frustrated, confused, angry and sad when someone hurts, teases, or abuses our children. We want to erase all of the pain they are feeling as soon as possible, as much for them as for ourselves.
"We cannot take away our child's pain immediately but we can make CHOICES to find ways to help them heal from the pain over time." If you have a child who is in emotional pain, make the choice to start helping him or her today. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Ask for help. If you do not know where to turn to for help, call someone who may. The most frustrating thing for parents sometimes, is where to turn to help a child through trauma. Also, if you need help seek it as well. You are no help to your children if you are depressed. Process your emotions and then start talking to them.
Talk about what has happened or is happening, but do not push. Let the child steer the conversation. If they back off, let them. Revisit it again later.
Do not underestimate your child's awareness of the traumatic events. Even though he/she may not talk about it, he/she knows what happened. Answer questions in language they can understand.

Valencia all but wrapped up third place in La Liga with a 5-0 thrashing of fourth-placed Villarreal as Valencia ripped an inexperienced Villarreal defence to shreds from the opening kickoff.
Some neat skill by Nilmar almost created a chance for Giuseppe Rossi after nine minutes but that was about as much as the dangerous front pairing produced.
Instead, Roberto Soldado made up for being denied by Diego Lopez on a couple of occasions by opening the scoring from a Miguel pass. The in-form striker sprung the offside trap again and finished confidently.
Lopez again thwarted Soldado in a one-on-one situation and the forward continued to find acres of space around the box.
Mata hoped for a penalty after a clash with Carlos Marchena but the half ended with Valencia only having a single goal to show for their superiority.
The second goal was worth waiting for as a brilliant move saw Mata play a one-two with Ever Banega to finish in style from a slight angle.
Six minutes later and it was all over as Pablo Hernandez got away down the right and produced an inviting cut-back for Banega to supply a cool finish.
The Yellow Submarine were well and truly sunk and worse was to follow. Pablo again made a mockery of the offside trap to latch onto a Soldado pass and his square ball allowed Mata to tap into an unguarded net.
Two minutes later, more terrible defending gifted Mehmet Topal the ball and Soldado majestically chipped Lopez for his sixth goal in two games.
Luckily for the visitors Valencia took their foot off the accelerator in the closing stages, but they delivered an emphatic message that they intend to finish behind the big two and qualify for the Champions League automatically.

Why doesnt motorola dsl modem 3360 connect to internet?
Best Answer: Actually, with DSL service, you don't need to provide the mac address or serial number to your provider. However, the fact that you "think" your old modem died, and this new modem doesn't work either, leads me to believe the problem is with your internet service, not with either of the modems. Call your ISP and tell them your service is out. They'll fix it. Easy as that.
The 3360 is not wireless enabled. You will need a wireless device that connects to the modem/router for it to communicate with your laptop via wireless.
AT&T doesn't know you bought a new router Forrest. Call THEM! They can't connect to it without knowing the mac address.
Can you connect wireless devices such as a laptop or ipad etc..to an att motorola dsl modem 3360?

In recent years the concept of resilience has grown out of the global trend of developing sustainability in the societies of the global North. In natural sciences or physics, a resilient body is described as flexible, durable, and capable of springing back to its original form and transforming the energy received into its own reconstruction (a good example of this is the sponge). In psychology, resilience refers to the subject's ability to recover their original state relatively quickly after some significant stress or shock and continuing with the processes of self-realization without a major setback. Resilience is more than just the ability to adapt, promoted by the concept of the flexible subject over the past two decades, which was adopted by corporate capitalism and triggered the precarious mass movement of laborers. Resilience encompasses exploring reciprocal dependence and finding one's political and socio-ecological place in a world that is out of balance and creates increasingly disadvantageous living conditions. Rather than trying to find global solutions for some indefinite future or projecting a possible perfect balance, resilient thinking focuses on the diversity of practical solutions for the here and now, and on the cooperation and creativity of everyone involved in a community or society.
The 7th Triennial of Contemporary Art in Slovenia gives prominence to practices that can be seen as analogous to the concept of resilience, i.e., community-oriented, site-specific, participatory, performative, architectural, social, civic and other discursive practices exploring new (or revived) community principles, such as the "do-it-together", urban gardening, and co-working, as well as the fundamental social question of how we coexist. Blending work and everyday life forms the basis of new economic, ethical, and production principles that the younger generation of artists uses to transform the role of the creative subject in contemporary Slovenian society. On the one hand this opens dialogues with biotechnology, critical theory, and political activism, underscoring, on the other hand, the cyclic nature of time by reviving traditional knowledge and techniques. Occurring across many platforms - the exhibition, performative projects, discussions - the triennial also gives the young generations an opportunity to express their potential through addressing urgent local and global socio-political problems and contributing to the debate in and over existing Slovenian cultural policy.

(MOSCOW) — The speaker of Kazakhstan's parliament was sworn in as interim president on Wednesday, a day after longtime leader Nursultan Nazarbayev abruptly resigned.
Nazarbayev surprised many by announcing in a televised address Tuesday that he would step down after nearly 30 years in office that has included the whole of Kazakhstan's time as an independent nation.
The 78-year-old Nazarbayev attended Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's inauguration Wednesday, entering to lengthy applause from assembled dignitaries before taking a seat on a podium behind the lectern where Tokayev gave an address.
Tokayev in his speech praised Nazarbayev as "an outstanding reformer" who is widely expected to continue to wield influence as chairman of the security council and head of the ruling party.
Rumors about Nazarbayev's resignation and a possible plan for succession have been swirling for years. Some speculated that the president might be grooming his daughter, who has served as deputy prime minister and is a lawmaker now, for succession. Nazarbayev himself, however, has not indicated that he has a successor in mind.
He has been widely praised for maintaining stability and ethnic peace in Kazakhstan, a large, oil-rich nation south of Russia and west of China. Even though he has faced criticism for marginalizing the political opposition and creating what is effectively a one-party state, the political regime that Nazarbayev has built is more liberal than those in the de-facto dictatorships in the neighboring Central Asian countries.

VICTORIA HEALTH
Can A Full Moon Really Affect Your Health?
by Victoria Hall
Whether you're someone who reads their horoscopes every week religiously or you dismiss them as vague captions that could be interpreted in hundreds of ways, there can be no denying that astrology is becoming increasingly popular. With a full moon on 14th September, you can expect plenty of full moon rituals and astrological predictions to fill your newsfeeds. For those who don't keep up-to-date with the position of the moon, we're in the midst of Virgo season and the full moon, also known as the Harvest Moon, falls in the sign of Pisces this month. According to astrologers, it's the time to refine your organisational skills and put plans into action.
While you could write this off as gobbledygook, it might interest you that the scientific world has been exploring how the lunar cycle affects our health for years. Admittedly the studies have been small and few and far between, but there is enough to continue the research and attempt to separate the science from the folklore.
Are menstrual and lunar cycles linked?
With both moon and menstrual cycles lasting around 28 days, it's easy to see why the two have been linked in the past. 'Mooning' is still a term used by some when they're on their period and there are apps that will track your menstrual cycle along side the moon's. A tiny study in 2005 found that women who ovulated during the full moon and fell pregnant at this time were more likely to have sons. However, the concept of aligning your menstrual cycle with the moon's is tricky as lifestyle, genetics and hormones play key roles.
Can a full moon affect our mood?
For years there have been whisperings of the full moon altering people's moods. A three-month psychological study of 1,200 inmates at Armley jail in Leeds in 1998 found that the number of violent incidents spiked during the days either side of a full moon.
Ten years ago a study monitored the amount of patients admitted to the Psychiatric Emergency Care Centre at Calvary Mater Newcastle in Australia. Out of the 91 patients with violent and acute behavioural disturbance, 21 occurred during the full moon, which equated to twice as many compared to other lunar phases. Two year prior to this, the police force in Brighton employed extra officers during full moons after they carried out research which found there was a rise in violent incidents.
Before you get carried away and start to fret about your mood dipping and anger levels rising this weekend, it's important to note that all of these studies were very small and more recent research by the Eastern Ontario Research Institute ruled out any impact on behaviour. The study focused on the effects a full moon had on the behaviour and sleep patterns of 5812 children from five continents over the course of two months and concluded that it had no impact on the former.
"Our study provides compelling evidence that the moon does not seem to influence people's behavior," said the study leader, Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput. The only significant finding was the 1% sleep alteration in full moon."
What about our sleep patterns?
Dr Chaput isn't alone in his findings. The most credible study on sleep and lunar phases took place in 2013 and suggested that the amount of deep sleep we get each night can drop by around 30 percent at the time of a full moon. According to the University of Basel in 2013, not only does it take five minutes longer to drift off, but we can lose up to 20 minutes of sleep a night. Interestingly, the study ruled out the effect of light causing the sleep disruption by asking participants to sleep in a windowless room. They did note a drop in melatonin levels around the time of a full moon, which would explain why you might find it harder to fall asleep but not why to dip in levels occurs.
However, at least come the next full moon you can ensure you don't miss any sleep by incorporating Cherry Night by Viridian into your evening routine. Cherries can help top-up your melatonin levels and help you to drift off regardless of the position of the moon.

Designed by Pavement | Country: United States
"Designed by Pavement, Highlighter is a brand that differentiates and legitimizes itself from other medical cannabis products with a sophisticated brand approach and elaborate packaging production.
The medical and recreational cannabis market is exploding across the country at a frantic pace. The result is a wide array of package designs, many which reflect fast turn-around production and cluttered, confusing design. Bloom Farms, the parent company for this Highlighter set, wanted to stand out in the marketplace with a sophisticated, and instantly recognizable, brand image that would become the gold standard for this category. Bloom Farms sought a look would not alienate the core "stoner" customer, but the quality of the brand and packaging would allow a mom, for example, to feel comfortable trying this type of product for the first time."
Union Playing Cards
November 27, 2015 | 1 Comment
Designed by Jay Fletcher | Country: United States
"Timeless Americana is laced throughout the design, with iconography of colonial America and patriotic symbols of peace, prosperity, and potential. Unions are Made in America, using FSC-certified paper, vegetable-based inks, and starch-based laminates. Over a year in development, every aspect of the design was created from scratch – from the breathtaking court cards to the back design and Ace of Spades.
As a special edition, Unions are available in a historic Ironside Edition, with a display made of authentic 300-year-old reclaimed wood from the Charles Towne Navy Yard, used in construction of actual ships during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. Four decks are inset in a special edition plank, branded with the US Constitution across the face."
Juan Montaña
Designed by Sociedad Anónima | Country: Mexico
"Moonshine was the name given to illegally distilled whiskey during the US Prohibition, among this time, production was carried out at night, under the moon's rays. Juan Montaña is a Mexican distilled liquor which represents the southern US., made out of natural products such as water, yeast, corn kernels and barley. Its branding, packaging and graphic language are inspired by the story of a typical old hermitliving in the southern US Mountains, represented with a vintage ilustration at the top of the label. We chose to merge a rustic style with spare printing techniques to create a fresh design, combined with old fashioned elements to reflect the natural essence of the product. The result is a label with a vintage and raw look that give it a handmade feel."
Caralarga
"Caralarga is a Mexican jewelry design firm. This project included the creation of visual identity and the design of the packaging. The brand concept was inspired and based by the work of Native Americans, trying to communicate this idea through the icon in the logo, which is a tepee that represents the two capital letters of the designer and founder of the brand: Ana Holschinder. We chose to work with a bright and vibrant color palette, combined with a modern sans serif font, which would reflect the energy of the brand. The result is a simple, yet unique, clean and bold packaging printed in full color and matte coated, using a geometric shape printed over half the surface of the box to give a particular and friendly look."
Tanqueray No. TEN
Designed by ButterlyCannon | Country: United Kingdom
"Tanqueray No. TEN is a super-premium gin from Diageo Reserve's luxury portfolio of World Class spirits. Using a unique combination of botanicals, Tanqueray No. TEN is an ideal choice for a number of serves, including the classic martini. Its instantly recognisable bottle design celebrates the fresh whole citrus fruits that have always defined the spirit with ten elegant facets flowing down the green bottle, meeting at the base, taking the shape of a citrus squeezer and capturing the 1920s Art Deco period perfectly.
ButterflyCannon was asked to create a glamorous gift box that brought its dazzling 1920's style to life for the festive season."
Stumbro Starka
Designed by Studija CREATA | Country: Lithuania
"They say that in the old days, Lithuanian men would make Starka on the birth of their first son. An aged vodka in honor of the stork's delivery. Strong and special. Triple distilled rye vodka, with the leaves of apples and pears. Apples for richness and pears for a long, full life. Buried in an oak barrel, it would wait patiently for the son's wedding day.
For the revamp of Stumbro Starka, we want to blow the dust off this interesting and rich beverage. Our goal is for Starka to be known as the unique Lithuanian beverage that it is – one that you should be proud of treating guests to or bringing as a gift.
By changing the image of Stumbro Starka, in essence, we created a whole from its parts: from the new, uniquely-shaped, dark glass bottle adorned with raised calligraphy and the rich label which tells the legend of the beverage, to the bottle stopper decorated with an oak leaf wreath."
Melbourne Moonshine
Designed by Sense | Country: Australia
"Melbourne Moonshine is a brand new alcohol firm based out of South Melbourne. For its branding, packaging and website, we drew influences from the bootleg history of moonshine itself, as well as the shape of the celestial moon and the copper of the alembic stills used to create this unique liquor.
Melbourne Moonshine was also the opportunity for Sense to design our first spirit bottle, which made us proud as punch (Moonshine punch, of course).
The pillars of this fine drop's brand identity include photography referencing film noir aesthetics and a tone of voice full of Appalachian jargon and down-home attitude and we can tell you, we had as much fun as a moonshiner sampling from the still working on this job."
Oast House Bière de Noël
Designed by Insite Design | Country: Canada
"The Niagara Oast House Bière de Noël is a limited edition winter warmer and like their other Farm House Ales, it's brewed and bottle conditioned in a traditional Belgian style.
Continuing on the series of seasonal Farm House Ale packages, we envisioned this jolly Ho Ho H'Oast calling Santa with a more robust and à la mode beard. A beard Noel one might say."
Brother Duran
Designed by CF Napa Design | Country: United States
"The client came to CF Napa to design the custom bottle, identity and packaging for their new grape-based spirit, inspired by a brandy recipe developed by Father Narciso Duran (Brother Duran) while serving in the California missions during the early 1800's. His brandy was described as "double distilled and twice as strong as the good brother's faith." Taking our lead from the time period, we designed a custom bottle that pulled cues from historic brandy bottles and a label that imbues a texture of rich gold filigree to complete the opulent embodiment of this luxury spirit."
Pig on Fire
Designed by John Larigakis & Jon Mandell | Country: Canada
"Pig On Fire is a small batch hand crafted bourbon infused with applewood smoked bacon."

The Atlantic slips — somehow — inside mind of Benedict XVI
April 22, 2014 by tmatt
The Atlantic slips — somehow — inside mind of Benedict XVI April 22, 2014 tmatt
During the annual pre-Easter season of snarky or mildly negative religion stories, I think that I received more personal emails about the Pope Benedict XVI vs. Pope Francis story in The Atlantic than any other item (even more than the Mrs. Jesus media blitz, if you can believe that).
Quite a few readers wanted to critique some of the alleged facts in the story or note some of its inconsistencies. For example, at one point Benedict is portrayed as an all-dominating doctrinal bully. Flip a few pages and readers are then told that he was a totally hands-off leader who, when it came to governing the church, "didn't interfere even when he was pope!" Yes, the exclamation mark is in the text.
Most of the emails missed the point. You see, "The Pope in the Attic: Benedict in the Time of Francis" isn't really a work of journalism.
Oh, the author makes it clear that he went to Rome and, apparently, he even drove around and talked with some people. But the result isn't a work of journalism built on clearly attributed information. No, this is something else — it's a work of apologetics.
Do you remember that famous Peggy Noonan quote about Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," a show for which she served as a consultant?
A reporter once asked me if I thought, as John Podhoretz had written, that "The West Wing" is, essentially, left-wing pornography. I said no, that's completely wrong. "The West Wing" is a left-wing nocturnal emission — undriven by facts, based on dreams, its impulses as passionate as they are involuntary and as unreflective as they are genuine.
That's kind of what we are dealing with here, especially in the passages in which essayist Paul Elie all but claims to have read the mind of Benedict, perhaps while driving past his abode (I am not making that part up, honest). This piece is a love song to all of the Catholics who suffered so much during the terrifying reign of the soon-to-be St. John Paul II and his bookworm bully, the future Pope Benedict XVI. Here's a sample, right up front:
Pope Francis lives only a few hundred meters down the hill, in the Casa Santa Marta: the guesthouse where the cardinals stay while electing a new pope. He arrived there for the conclave of 2013 as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Jesuit cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires. After his election, he surprised everyone by taking the name of Francis, the saint of radical simplicity — and then by refusing to move into the palace, and staying on at the guesthouse instead. All the world acclaimed the act as if he had pitched a pup tent in St. Peter's Square.
Benedict was as surprised as anybody. In a stroke, the Argentine had outdone him in simplicity.
Interview? Quote? A second-hand reflection from a key aide, even an anonymous aide? And then there is the thesis statement:
And so it has come to pass that, in his 88th year, he is living at the Mater Ecclesiae, served by four consecrated laywomen and his priest-secretary, with a piano and a passel of books to keep him occupied. Here he watches the Argentine, prays for him, and keeps silence — a hard discipline for a man who spent his public life defining the nature of God and man, truth and falsehood.
It's odd enough that there are two living popes. It's odder still that they live in such proximity. But what's most odd is that the two popes are these two popes, and that the one who spent a third of a century erecting a Catholic edifice of firm doctrine and strict prohibition now must look on at close range as the other cheerfully dismantles it in the service of a more open, flexible Church.
Dismantles? Pope Francis has dismantled orthodox Catholicism?
If the key to Benedict was his defense of doctrine, using such a word requires the author to provide some concrete examples of major doctrinal changes made by the new pope. In other words, in what sense has Francis dismantled the doctrinal work of Benedict and John Paul II? It is clear that he wants major changes in pastoral strategies. But he is attempting to "dismantle" the doctrinal work of Benedict?
A few lines later, when Elie discusses the methodology of his work, he even undercuts his own argument.
With the press transfixed by Francis, I went to Rome to talk about Benedict. Invariably, the conversations wound up being about both of them. Priests, Church officials, and Vatican insiders told me that the differences between the two men come down to personality, not principle, and that Benedict is delighted with the goodwill the world is showing Francis. He probably is.
Wait for it. You know what's coming, right?
Yet when he was the arbiter of Church doctrine, he never missed a chance to declare that the Church was founded on revealed truth rather than personality, and that the world's goodwill isn't worth having except on the Church's terms. "Who am I to judge?" — Francis's remark about gay people — was a sharp turn away from Benedict's view that the role of the Church is to render judgment in a world in thrall to "a dictatorship of relativism." Francis's offhand statements and openness to new approaches make clear that he is a very different pope — and unless Benedict has lost his mind, he cannot be altogether happy about it.
Of course, of course, read the actual statements by Francis (click here for transcript). The pope was talking about gay priests who were struggling — in repentance — with their sins. Francis stressed that he opposed public opposition — the gay "lobby" issue — to the church's moral teachings. He was saying that, when sinners repent, God is the judge.
But that kind of logic does not fit into this work of anti-Benedict apologetics.
And the mind-reading? Here is one more example, during a discussion of Benedict's genuinely radical act of retiring from the papacy:
Benedict's renunciation changed the calculus. Now no older man can be ruled out. Now an older man can be elected pope and work hard for a few years, knowing he is free to resign when his energy flags or when he reckons that he has done all he can.
That's what Francis is doing — and Benedict knows, better than anybody, that his renunciation of the papacy is what made Francis's freestyle, judgment-averse pontificate possible. The thought is enough to keep him awake at night.
Read it all, if you are into foggy works of apologetics written and reported, kind of, in the old New Journalism style.

Kevin Spencer says:
To call this article a work of apologetics is probably pushing it. The article reads like a Clancy or Patterson novel. Intrigues. Power plays and "insiders" in an NGO trying to stay relevant.
Exactly what the pontiff is on record and deed NOT doing and verifiable by so many sources. You're spot on; the article not just fails but refuses to get religion or journalism. I vote it as Worst Religion Article for 2014 to date. Somewhere, even NYT reporters are reading it and saying, "What the heck was THAT?"
Clancy would have made it more interesting
Thomas A. Szyszkiewicz says:
I was amazed at the keen insight the author had into what Benedict is thinking when he never even talked to him. One wonders if the author has even ever read any words that Benedict has written beyond "the" and "and."
Naomi Kietzke Young says:
I shall have to re-read Elie's other biographies with a more critical eye to see if I failed to notice similar quasi-telepathic insights.
boinkie says:
I once read a description of Catholicism that they are strict in doctrine but forgiving in personal lapses.
Francis has not changed doctrine, only brought the "pastoral" part into the open: The press jerry picks his quotes to remake him into a radical, which he is not. Indeed, what they fail to appreciate is that he comes to the papacy from the third world. Here in the Philippines, for example, our main problem in town is corrupt (and sometimes murderous) politicians, not the open gays who are part of the landscape.
Meggan Conway says:
One of the reasons why Francis seems so much more open and pastoral is that he has an open and friendly demeanor and appearance. Benedict could probably do the exact same thing as Francis, but because he looks like Emperor Palpatine or Rumpelstiltskin, he has not been seen as pastoral. I don't mean to reduce it all to looks, but I really think that's part of it. Go to Google images and look up each name separately.
But I want you to know that I am a big fan of both Pope Francis and Pope Benedict. I love and admire both of them.
FW Ken says:
So do I. It always amazes me that writers don't seem to understand that a South American pastor is not like a German theologian. Still, you would think they would have noticed the bumper stickers "I love my German Shepherd".
They also seem resistant to the fact that Pope Benedict, as a cardinal and as pope, did more to address the sex scandals than Bl. JP II and Francis combined. Why would that be?
As superficial as people are, I don't think this is about physical appearance. I think it has to do with style. Benedict had been a German professor, and he always had a bit of the German professor about him. Francis has nothing of the German professor about him — by comparison, he's happy-go-lucky, like one might stereotypically expect of an Italian living in Buenos Aires. Joseph Ratzinger always had the academic's curse which makes precision paramount; Francis appears to be completely free of that curse.
I agree with you, Howard. But I think physical appearance contributes to it.
I don't think the physical difference is that great. Neither Pope was ever going to be Mr. Universe or be voted "sexiest man alive" by People Magazine.
In this case, I think it is what one thinks of the man that shapes what one thinks of his appearance, not the other way around.
Julia B says:
I think both issues are going on. My German father was a great smiler, I saw him get teary upon occasion, but he had that same look of deep concentration as Benedict that comes off as stern. He was a very kindly man, but he furrowed his brow when really thinking and could look rather formidable.
Francis, when not smiling, has a look of bemusement or not thinking of anything in particular – which comes off as gentleness. The press rarely chose photos of Benedict smiling and mostly does choose those kinds of photos of Francis.
Since I check out the Catholic blogs and press every day, I see Francis with all kinds of looks on his face. Reading the secular press, you would think he does nothing but smile broadly. That's not so. People who knew him well in Buenas Aires are surprised to see this constantly jolly person in the papers.
DeaconJohnMBresnahan says:
When a Catholic leader says he wants new pastoral initiatives this has never meant he wants to tear down Catholic teachings. In fact, it means the opposite. It means he wants to build up acceptance of Catholic teachings through setting a better example (like allowing yourself to be photographed going to confession) or through more fervent evangelical effort .
The trouble with news coverage of the Catholic Church is that politics is the prism through which most media people interpret what is going on in the Church . They still can't comprehend the supreme spiritual act of humility Pope Benedict's stepping aside was. It flies in the face of all the canards over the years that all that leading Catholic clergy are interested in is grasping power for themselves.
AND the press does not seem to understand what Benedict's job was in Rome before being elected Pope. It was his job to hold the line on doctrine; he wasn't just pushing his own feelings about things. He tried several times to resign and retire to Germany, but JPII would not allow it. Like Francis, Benedict was a loyal son of the church.
Ricko Dayat says:
Flip a few pages and readers are then told that he was a totally hands-off leader who, when it came to governing the church, "didn't interfere even when he was pope!" Yes, the exclamation mark is in the text.

joanofarc says:
Your critique is accurate. I read the entire piece and found it filled with internal contradictions and mean-spirited attacks.
Katalina says:
Francis is more open and friendly than Benedict because surprise of his personality. It is not about the personality it is about the office. You insult the Benedict with snide remarks and then claim to love him. At least he was easy to understand and you did not need a weekly explanation of what he meant. He gave us back our lost Cultural Patrimony and Traditions but I guess that does not matter to you because you and your ilk are all about the emotional sentimental and banal crap, Benedict was the Pope of Reason and Objective truth. I believe he will be a Doctor of the Church.
Oh and by the way if I have to hear the word Pastoral one more time I am going to scream. Pope John called the Council Pastoral yet he wore the same elaborate vestments that Benedict used even though he was dirt poor. Pastoral can mean anything. ALL POPES ARE Peter's SUCCESORS and Vicars of Christ period. Please stop with these personality cults that make them larger than life its wrong.
fredx2 says:
It was so far out, I thought maybe it was an Easter meditation, incurred after the author took a drug of some sort.
Maybe Elie is in fact, Hunter Thompson, and the whole death thing was a fake.
But then again, look at the writing. Maybe it was Dan Brown.
"I'll call my agent, pondered the prosperous scribe. He reached for the telephone using one of his two hands."
"He reached for the telephone using one of his two hands."
I almost wet my pants laughing. You have captured him perfectly.
Babagranny says:
Thank you for this. I could not contain myself when I read the Atlantic article the day it arrived in my rural mailbox and have not yet calmed down enough even to read it again, let alone lambaste the writer about his — well, you know. I could believe such an article showing up in some anti-Catholic or bigoted rag, but not in the Atlantic. But quickly I remembered why I quit subscribing to the Atlantic many years ago, and only took it up again because i received a free subscription with some other purchase that I had made.
Don Campbell says:
Look, Pope Francis has not changed one letter or part of a letter of the Church's moral doctrine. He can't change the infallible Magisterium. What bothers some, though, is that he gives the impression that he doesn't much like the Church's teaching on certain issues, that it is something he has sort of been stuck with and which is impediment to evangelization, rather than something to be embraced and celebrated. When asked about these things, instead of fully embracing them and explaining their beauty and truth, he dutifully says "I am a son of the Church" (ringing endorsement there!) but that there is no need to talk about these things "all the time." I know I probably have it all wrong, but I also have no doubt that a lot of Catholics feel this way.


As soon as the pot lid was open, a delicious smell filled the room. The sweet smell came from the steamed buns made by Wang Haiyan, a villager of Tanxitou Village in Nanhai New Distirct of Weihai City, east China's Shandong Province.
Recently, Denis from France and Naeem from Pakistan, at the invitation of Sdchina.com, paid a visit to the village to reveal the veil of Chinese steamed bun. Mantou, also known as steamed bun, originated in China and is a basic but classic part of northern Chinese cuisine.
The 50-year-old Wang Haiyan has been making steamed bun for decades and is a true master of making steamed bun. The steamed buns made by Wang sell very well and many people far away from here also come to buy.
Wang said she learned the making craft of mantou from the old generation but had made some new adjustments to the producing process. Then Wang show the foreign guests her "secret weapon"——fermented dough ——for making delicious steamed buns.
After a series of preparations, Wang takes out several wooden moulds for Denis and Naeem. The moulds are designed in various shapes to mold the steamed bun. The steamed buns are both well-decorated and delicious shaped by the mould.
Then Wang got ready a steamer with some water to steam the buns. She still used the large iron pot not oven to steam mantou, because only in this way can wheat retain its original fragrance.

Q: Mobile Site Redirector Alright so i'm trying to develop a php script that will detect a device and redirect the user to a site depending on which device they have. I am running into trouble getting it to work fully. i would like it so that the user can have the option to visit the classic site or mobile site by clicking a hyperlink that sets the variable called "sitestyle" and this script checks for that variable using $_GET['sitestyle']; if variable=0 then send to desktop site. if variable=1 then send to mobile site and set session accordingly.
Here is my code:
<?php
session_start();

if ((isset($_GET['sitestyle']) && ($_GET['sitestyle']=0)) {
$_SESSION['sitestyle']=0;
}
else ((isset($_GET['sitestyle']) && ($_GET['sitestyle']=1)) {
$_SESSION['sitestyle']=1;
}
//Separate Statements
if ((isset($_SESSION['sitestyle']) && ($_SESSION['sitestyle']=1)) {
header('Location: http://mobi.site.com/');
}
else if ((isset($_SESSION['sitestyle']) && ($_SESSION['sitestyle']=0)) {
exit();
}
else {

}

if ((strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']),'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml') > 0)     or ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE']) or isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE'])))) {

    }
}

if ($tablet_browser > 0) {
   // do something for tablet devices
   $_SESSION['sitestyle']=1;
  // print 'is tablet';
}
else if ($mobile_browser > 0) {
   // do something for mobile devices

else {

A: You have the code as
$_GET['sitestyle']=0

which should be
$_GET['sitestyle'] == 0

and also
$_GET['sitestyle']=1

should be
$_GET['sitestyle'] == 1

Below is the correct syntax
if ( isset($_GET['sitestyle']) && $_GET['sitestyle']==0 ) {
    $_SESSION['sitestyle']=0;
}
elseif ( isset($_GET['sitestyle']) &&  $_GET['sitestyle']==1) {
    $_SESSION['sitestyle']=1;
}

A: You have one opening bracket too much on line 4!
if ((isset($_GET['sitestyle']) && ($_GET['sitestyle']=0)) {
---^
    $_SESSION['sitestyle']=0;
}

Remove the bracket and the error will be gone.
Please note this error happens multiple times in your page. Please check the brackets in your if-elseif-else statements.
Also note that the comparison operator is == and ===. You're using the assignment operator, which is not what you want in this case.

Jo Malone on Battling Breast Cancer and Her New Fragrance, Second Act
By Linda Wells

Jo Malone is not a $470 four-wick candle or a Lime, Basil, and Mandarin cologne. She is a living, breathing person who started her adventures as an 8-year-old facialist-in-training to an 80-year-old skin-care queen. After selling her fragrance business to the Estée Lauder Companies in 1999, she has a third act, a collection of crazy-good scents under a new name, Jo Loves.
Malone documents her path to early success in Jo Malone: My Story (Simon & Schuster, November 29), a remarkably speedy trip, though one with some significant bumps.
She mixed her first mask (slippery elm powder, yogurt, avocado oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E, lemon juice, and honey) when she was barely tall enough to reach the kitchen counter of her parents' government-subsidized apartment. By the time she was 10, she was cooking and jarring creams, ordering supplies, and paying the bills for her mother's small facial operation. She was so singularly focused on facials and so deprived of anything but the most basic food that the first time she saw someone eat an avocado, "I was horrified," she writes, thinking he had mistakenly consumed the ingredients for a mask. (She still smears mashed avocado on her skin when it's dry.)
It didn't take long before she was giving facials to a growing list of clients who included Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. "She invited me to Buckingham Palace, and there I was, sitting on the floor having a cup of tea with Fergie while she made a list of 20 clients. That was the beginning of my business," Malone told me. Supermodels and celebrities soon filled her tiny salon.
But her real love, as anyone who's sprayed Lime Basil on her pulse points knows, is fragrance. Malone has the nose of a bloodhound, able to identify and combine notes instinctively, even as a child. She can smell a leak by detecting the odor of damp plaster; she can predict rain and snow as reliably as a meteorologist. When she started creating her own fragrances in 1991, she did something wholly original, magnifying the ingredients rather than some notion of sex or power or sexual power — the common themes at the time. In this way, she made fragrance accessible to people who could imagine the key notes just by reading the name on the bottle (nutmeg and ginger, grapefruit, orange blossom). Malone could also be credited with helping to ignite the current trend in unpretentious niche fragrances. "Master perfumers said, 'You have no idea how you've changed the fragrance world and influenced it without even realizing it,'" Malone said.
In 1999, Malone sold her business of 14 colognes, bath oils, lotions, and candles to the Estée Lauder Companies, a thrilling dream for any entrepreneur — and Jo Malone London quickly became a global phenomenon. No sooner had she popped the Champagne and bought herself diamond earrings than Malone discovered she had an aggressive form of breast cancer that required two long rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. She was 38 years old. As a side effect of the treatment, her sense of smell flagged, along with her passion for the business. At the opening of the Madison Avenue boutique, "I looked around and saw my name everywhere — on the signs, the gift bags, and the product — and felt weirdly detached, as if this was somebody else's life."
She decided to walk away, a difficult break for Malone and, from other accounts, for the Estée Lauder team, too. "Deep inside of me, I knew I was making a mistake," she told me. "I did underestimate the power of my connection to the brand. It had been my best friend, my teacher, my passion, and my one source of creativity."
Malone had a five-year non-compete clause — "the worst five years of my life" — and spent them fumbling around, sometimes in a state of panic over her absent creative mojo. She made ice cream. ("I went through a real beetroot phase," she says. "It was awful.") She helped conceive and host a BBC series, High Street Dreams, that sounds a bit like a friendly Shark Tank. And she paced her apartment like a "caged tiger."
During that time, she avoided even glancing at a Jo Malone London boutique from a taxi window. It was too upsetting. "I felt humbled and humiliated, because I did this to myself," she says.
Her second act was harder to engineer, partly because she had to engineer it. Things finally clicked when she took a beach walk in Parrot Cay, in the Turks and Caicos, and envisioned the scent of the pomelo fruit combined with ocean air, lemongrass, and a squeeze of lime. The result, Pomelo, is still her favorite of the new bunch. "I wash the house with it. I wash the dog with it. It goes in the bucket with the oil," she says.
Because Malone sold her name along with her business, she also had to come up with a new identity. During a brainstorming meeting, her 12-year-old son blurted out Jo Loves, an exuberant expression of positivity that stuck. And despite some missteps — including harsh red-and-black packaging that she eventually changed — she is back on that speedy path she knows so well.
The new Jo Love scents clearly come from the same brain that invented Jo Malone London. White Rose and Lemon Leaves is summery and sparkly, a fresh crowd-pleaser. Pink Vetiver is slightly peppery. Smoked Plum and Leather, masculine and gutsy, sprung from an experience Malone had while riding her horse in Montana and inhaling the scent of the leather saddle, the campfire smoke, and wild sage.
Malone likes to layer her fragrances, a technique she devised for her London boutique that she demonstrated on me. She sprayed my whole left arm with Pomelo, then skimmed over the path of the spray with a small, clean paintbrush to dry it. Next she squirted Pink Vetiver on the bristles of another paintbrush and stroked that over the Pomelo and on my neck. It was intimate and sensual, and it produced a deep, intricate fragrance.
Jo Loves colognes, lotions, cleansers, and candles are available online at Jo Loves and Net-a-Porter, and at her boutique in London at 42 Elizabeth Street.
Jo Malone Is Back With a New Frangrance, Second Act


Hiking is certainly an exciting outdoor activity, but if you want your experience to be more memorable, you can take your pet dog with you on your next hiking adventure. You will be amazed and motivated with their energy and unfiltered enjoyment on the trail while admiring the breathtaking sceneries at the same time.
However, if you plan to take your four-legged friend with you, there are some important things you need to consider for the both of you to have a great time. If it's your first time to take your pet dog on a hike, here are some tips you can follow to keep them safe, happy, and healthy.
Before going on a major hike, it's important to train your dog first with small hikes to increase their fitness and endurance. If you plan on having your dog carry a pack, you should also train him by increasing the distance and weight from your small hikes.
You can start training your pet on hikes that are shorter than an hour and just increase the distance once you've noticed that he's getting used to it. This will also toughen your dog's paw pads and develop stamina.
Also, it's advisable to wait until your dog has received all his shots before you take him on a hike. Dog's about five months may have already completed vaccines. This is important because your pets can pick up parasites and viruses shared by wild animals on the trail.
When planning a hike, you should also make sure that dogs are allowed on the trails that you've chosen. Aside from that, you should also take note of the nearest veterinary clinic in that area, so that you will know where to go in case of an emergency. Finding an appropriate trail for dogs will ensure you that they are safe and away from injuries.
A lot of people love dogs, but not all because some are afraid of them. This is why you should keep your dog on a leash while hiking. Also, most dog-friendly trails require hikers to keep their dogs on a leash at least six feet or less in length.
There are also some trails with off-leash designated areas which are suitable for dogs that can respond to voice commands. But before you let your pet off-leash, you should be sure that he is trained and can respond to your voice command to avoid harming sensitive habitat or get in the way of bikers and other wildlife.
Hiking requires a lot of food and water, and since you're hiking with your dog, you have to make sure that you pack enough food and water for two.
Water is very important to dogs because they have fur coats and they are unable to sweat like humans, meaning, they are at a higher risk of overheating. You can bring a collapsible dish so you can pour some water for him every once in a while on your hike.
You can also bring some treats for your dog to keep his energy level high during a long hike. And if you're on a strenuous hike, make sure that you give him a little bit more dinner. This will help him recover from the tired feeling, and as well as prevent sickness and injury. Dogs are just like humans; they need calories to stay energized.
A lot of trails have dog stool bag stations, however, some don't, therefore it's important to be prepared and keep some bags with you when you go on a hike. If you will be disposing of your dog's waste, be respectful of the environment and throw them in a trash can, preferably those with a lid. If you're camping, make sure to leave any pet waste at least 200 feet away from the campsite.
Dogs have different abilities and sometimes it depends on their age as well. Very young dogs and very old dogs will not be able to handle the same trail length or difficulty compared to other dogs. Therefore, it's important to observe how your dog is doing on the trail and see his limits. Do not push him to exhaustion because this is very dangerous. You can also ask your vet for you to know how much is too much for your dog. If you notice that your dog is lying down and panting intensely while hiking, this might mean that they need to cool down, slow down, or they cannot really endure the intensity of the hike.
First aid kits are important in any activity and just like humans, dogs need them too in case of emergencies. A pet first aid kit will help you with gashes, bites, sprains, or burns your dog might get. But after the hike, make sure that you take him to the vet, especially when he's hurt or in pain.
If your dog is shorthaired or if he's used to spending most of his time indoors, he might need to wear some clothes when you take him on a hike. Clothing will help him stand against wet and cold conditions on the trail. If you're going on a cold or snowy trail, your pet could also use some dog booties. These are also useful on very hot sand and rocky trails.
There are a lot of things dogs might eat while on the trail. Some of them are mushrooms, cattails, and pinecones. There are also some which can be very dangerous or even deadly for them. If you notice that your dog is chewing on something, try to figure what it is and if you think it's dangerous, get a sample of it and show it to your vet. This is another reason why it's important to keep your dog on a leash while hiking.
After your enjoyable hike with your dog, it's important to check his whole body if there are ticks, cuts, burrs, and burns. When you find a tick, carefully remove it and place it in a bag to take to your vet. Another way to check your dog for any cuts or injuries is by giving him a post-hike doggie bath.
Making sure that your dog is safe and in a good condition will certainly give you an enjoyable and memorable hike together. With just proper planning and preparations, it can be a rewarding experience for both of you. We hope these tips will help you in having a great time hiking with your dog.


Our very own Linda Boyden was in Plainville, MA. as an invited guest to read her story, Roxy Reindeer. The store is owned by Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Today he stopped by to see Linda Boyden, the guest children's author, a former high school classmate and fellow Plainville native who now lives in California.
If you visit the store, you can still find copies of her book there. It is a beautiful, historic three-story space of an old general store in Plainville.
