POLITICO Playbook PM: So you think you can beat Mitch McConnell …
By ANNA PALMER, JAKE SHERMAN, DANIEL LIPPMAN, ELI OKUN and GARRETT ROSS

DALLAS MORNING NEWS: "Ross Perot, self-made billionaire, patriot and philanthropist, dies at 89," by Cheryl Hall: "Ross Perot, self-made billionaire, renowned patriot and two-time independent candidate for U.S. president, has died after a five-month battle with leukemia." DMN
FOR GOOD MEASURE … ANOTHER SIR KIM DARROCH PARTY … THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR, who the president said is not well liked in D.C., hosted a party last week for the International Club with WILBUR ROSS, BILL BARR and ELAINE CHAO all in attendance.
ON AMY MCGRATH … Democrats are hyped today that they got former fighter pilot AMY MCGRATH into the Senate race against Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL. Watch McGrath's announcement video
Let's stay out of the prediction business, but keep the following things in mind:
-- DONALD TRUMP won Kentucky by 30 points in 2016. As Dave Wasserman (@redistrict) points out: "Folks, there is just no amount of $$$ that is going to elect a Dem to federal office next fall in a place that voted for Trump by 30%.* *except maybe Collin Peterson in #MN07 but that's about it." MCCONNELL will be running on the same ticket as TRUMP in 2020.
-- In 2018, MCGRATH lost by more than 10,000 votes -- 3 percentage points -- to GOP Rep. ANDY BARR in the best year for Democrats in a decade. Barr's district is the least red Republican district in the state, meaning it should've been the easiest for McGrath to win. She lost, even though she raised $8 million while Barr raised $5 million.
-- MCCONNELL'S LAST DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER, Alison Lundergan Grimes in 2014, was a statewide office holder who had won her race for secretary of state by 21 points in 2011. McConnell beat her by 16.
-- MCCONNELL, like many congressional leaders, has probably seen his approval rating plunge, which is why Democrats see opportunity.
-- NO DOUBT McGrath is going to attract a bunch of Democratic money -- insiders predict she could raise as much as $40 million. McConnell will have considerable cash, as will super PACs supporting him.
WITHIN MINUTES of McGrath getting in the race, McConnell had WrongPathMcGrath.com up, with a video tying McGrath to ELIZABETH WARREN, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, HILLARY CLINTON, NANCY PELOSI, CHUCK SCHUMER and BERNIE SANDERS. The video has McGrath saying she felt like she did in the wake of 9/11 after Trump was elected, and the clip of her saying she's more progressive than anyone in Kentucky. The site
THE LATEST ON JEFFREY EPSTEIN … ACOSTA SPEAKS -- @SecretaryAcosta: "The crimes committed by Epstein are horrific, and I am pleased that NY prosecutors are moving forward with a case based on new evidence. … With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator. … Now that new evidence and additional testimony is available, the NY prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice."
TRUMP told reporters in the Oval Office today that Alex Acosta has been an "excellent" Labor secretary. "The rest of it, we'll have to look at, and we'll have to look at it very carefully."
-- ON EPSTEIN AND ACOSTA: "I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. People in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling-out with him a long time ago. I don't think I've spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan. ... I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you. I was not a fan of his. I feel very badly actually for Secretary Acosta because I've known him as being somebody that worked so hard and has done such a good job." The full pool spray
-- TRUMP said Iran "better be very careful."
EARLIER VIDEO of Trump as he is asked about his "friend Jeffrey Epstein," Iran, Acosta and other topics: The video
-- BURGESS EVERETT: "Dem leaders demand Alex Acosta's ouster": "The top three Senate Democratic leaders are calling on Alex Acosta to resign as Labor secretary, slamming his previous leniency toward Jeffrey Epstein, the financier charged with running a sex ring of underage girls.
"Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that Acosta should go because of the 'sweetheart' deal he cut with Epstein as U.S. attorney in 2008. It's an escalation from his comments on Monday that Acosta needed to 'explain himself' for allowing Epstein to serve 13 months in prison and avoid a federal trial." POLITICO
A message from The American Petroleum Institute (API):
Progress is made in America and powered by natural gas and oil. Thanks to innovation and partnerships, U.S. methane emissions intensity fell nearly 60% in America's largest producing regions since 2011, even as America produced more affordable and reliable natural gas. To accelerate emissions reductions, API supports the direct regulation of methane for new and existing sources.
Learn more about how America's natural gas and oil is tackling methane emissions and producing energy to among the highest environmental standards worldwide.
Good Tuesday afternoon. IN PLAYBOOK THIS MORNING, we misworded an item about Sen. Kamala Harris' campaign. They misattributed congressional testimony, not CFPB testimony. Check out the item, and the correction
REMEMBER WHEN the Trump administration was going to sanction Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif? As of today, Treasury still hadn't announced any. What's up? Just wondering!
THE INVESTIGATIONS … MORE SUBPOENAS … KYLE CHENEY and ANDREW DESIDERIO: "The House Judiciary Committee intends to authorize subpoenas to 12 of former special counsel Robert Mueller's witnesses — including President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, his former deputy Rod Rosenstein, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former chief of staff John Kelly and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. …
"The likely subpoena targets also include two executives of American Media Inc. — Dylan Howard and David Pecker — who testified about Trump's alleged hush money payments to a woman who accused him of an extramarital affair before the election. And it includes current and former Trump administration officials Rick Dearborn, Jody Hunt and Rob Porter." POLITICO
NATASHA BERTRAND: "Trump dossier author Steele gets 16-hour DOJ grilling": "Christopher Steele, the former British spy behind the infamous 'dossier' on President Donald Trump's ties to Russia, was interviewed for 16 hours in June by the Justice Department's internal watchdog, according to two people familiar with the matter. …
"The extensive, two-day interview took place in London while Trump was in Britain for a state visit, the sources said, and delved into Steele's extensive work on Russian interference efforts globally, his intelligence-collection methods and his findings about Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who the FBI ultimately surveilled. The FBI's decision to seek a surveillance warrant against Page — a warrant they applied for and obtained after Page had already left the campaign — is the chief focus of the probe by Horowitz.
"The interview was contentious at first, the sources added, but investigators ultimately found Steele's testimony credible and even surprising. The takeaway has irked some U.S. officials interviewed as part of the probe — they argue that it shouldn't have taken a foreign national to convince the inspector general that the FBI acted properly in 2016. Steele's American lawyer was present for the conversation." POLITICO
HEATHER CAYGLE: "Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi rein in the left": "Nancy Pelosi tried to quash Frank Pallone five years ago in a nasty proxy war over the future of the Democratic Caucus. Now, with Pelosi reinstalled as speaker and Pallone chairman of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee, the New Jersey Democrat has become a key ally to contain the party's aggressive liberal surge. …
"Pelosi has spoken openly about protecting the vulnerable Democrats who helped deliver the House last year. And Pallone is essentially the speaker's enforcer at the committee, which is the first real stop for any potential action on progressive priorities like Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal. … The new Pallone-Pelosi alliance will be all the more crucial as the speaker works to corral her fractious House majority, which is increasingly split between a pack of outspoken progressive Millennials and a group of more than two dozen freshman moderates."

HAPPENING TODAY -- "Obamacare in Jeopardy as Appeals Court Hears Case Backed by Trump," by NYT's Abby Goodnough in New Orleans: "A federal appeals court panel will hear arguments Tuesday on whether a federal judge in Texas was correct in striking down the Affordable Care Act, a case with enormous stakes not only for millions of people who gained health insurance through the law but for the political futures of President Trump and other candidates in the 2020 elections.
"The case, which could make its way to the Supreme Court ahead of those elections, threatens insurance protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions and many other sweeping changes the 2010 law has made throughout the health care system." NYT
-- MORE FROM THE COURTS: "President Trump cannot block his critics on Twitter, federal appeals court rules," by WaPo's Ann Marimow: "The decision from the New York-based appeals court upholds an earlier ruling that Trump violated the First Amendment when he blocked individual users critical of the president or his policies.
"'The First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees,' wrote Judge Barrington D. Parker in the unanimous decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit." WaPo
BIG IN BEIJING -- "Taiwan Set to Receive $2 Billion in U.S. Arms, Drawing Ire From China," by NYT's Chris Horton in Taipei, Taiwan: "The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, part of the United States Defense Department, notified Congress of two proposed arms sales on Monday. The first notification included 108 M1A2T Abrams tanks, as well as Hercules armored vehicles and heavy equipment transporters. The second included more than $220 million in Stinger antiaircraft missiles.
"The tentative approvals come as relations between the United States and China are already being tested by a trade war and the decoupling of technology supply chains. The armaments would provide Taiwan with greater deterrence capabilities against the growing military threat from China, experts said." NYT

WHAT THE E-RING IS READING -- BLOOMBERG: "Acting Defense Chief Esper Modifies Recusal Pledge on Raytheon," by Anthony Capaccio and Bill Allison: "[Mark] Esper, who became acting secretary last month with the abrupt departure of Patrick Shanahan, said in a memo on his 'Ethics Obligations and Screening Arrangement' dated June 24 that he'll continue to recuse himself from 'participating personally and substantially' in decisions that would have a 'direct and predictable effect' on Raytheon's ability or willingness to pay his deferred compensation benefits unless he receives a waiver. …
"But the new memo also provides for a waiver if a designated department official and an ethics officer agree that his participation in a matter that may directly affect Raytheon's financial interests is 'so important that it cannot be referred to another official.' In addition, Esper said that he 'may be allowed to be present in meetings and receive information regarding Raytheon when necessary to remain informed about matters of critical importance to national security and Department of Defense programs and budget.'" Bloomberg
YAHOO'S MICHAEL ISIKOFF: "Exclusive: The true origins of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory": "In the summer of 2016, Russian intelligence agents secretly planted a fake report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was gunned down by a squad of assassins working for Hillary Clinton, giving rise to a notorious conspiracy theory that captivated conservative activists and was later promoted from inside President Trump's White House, a Yahoo News investigation has found. …
"The Russian effort to exploit Rich's tragic death didn't stop with the fake SVR bulletin. Over the course of the next two and a half years, the Russian government-owned media organizations RT and Sputnik repeatedly played up stories that baselessly alleged that Rich, a relatively junior-level staffer, was the source of Democratic Party emails that had been leaked to WikiLeaks."

MORE ALBERTA BOOK BUZZ -- "Ted Cruz exploded over Fox News' pro-Trump bias in 2016, new book claims," by The Guardian's Ed Pilkington: "Author Tim Alberta, chief political correspondent of Politico, writes that Cruz became convinced during the long and bitter primary that he was facing concerted opposition from Fox News, acting on Trump's behalf.
"When [Roger] Ailes died in May 2017, four months after Trump's inauguration, Cruz reportedly told friends: 'I think it was Roger's dying wish to elect Donald Trump president.' … The author notes that Cruz and Ailes used to be close, regularly having breakfast in New York. … But as the 2016 primary cycle unfolded, Ailes cut himself off from Cruz, Alberta reports. By the New Year, just weeks before the Iowa caucuses, the TV executive was no longer taking the politician's calls." The Guardian
BEYOND THE BELTWAY -- THRILLA IN WASILLA: "A divided Alaska Legislature begins troubled special session," by Anchorage Daily News' James Brooks and Tegan Hanlon: "Amid unprecedented division, the Alaska Legislature gathered in Juneau and Wasilla on Monday, with lawmakers in each location claiming it is the rightful place for their second special session this year.
"With 37 lawmakers in Juneau and only 21 in Wasilla, those in the capital city were able to convene the session and get to work, while those in Southcentral were left to hold a short meeting and, without a quorum, disbanded to talk to attendees and take questions from reporters." Anchorage Daily News
2020 WATCH -- MAGGIE SEVERNS: "Reformers push Dems to adopt sweeping anti-corruption platform in 2020": "End Citizens United, armed with polling and a track record of success in helping elect Democrats during the 2018 midterm elections, says Democrats shouldn't hesitate to put an anti-corruption message at the forefront of the eventual general election, according to polling and presentation materials reviewed by POLITICO.
"The group's leaders have briefed nine presidential campaigns, including the campaigns of polling front-runners Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and they are making plans to sit down with more." POLITICO
-- STEYER MAKES IT OFFICIAL … via NYT's Alex Burns: "In a video announcing his candidacy, [Tom] Steyer positioned himself as a populist outsider, railing against corporate interests that he described as holding too much sway over the political system. …
"'Tom has committed to spending at least $100 million on this campaign,' said Alberto Lammers, a spokesman for Mr. Steyer. That figure exceeds the total fund-raising over the last three months by Joseph R. Biden Jr., Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris — combined. A $100 million budget would represent about half the cost of Hillary Clinton's 2016 primary campaign; most candidates who run for president spend a fraction of that sum." NYT … The announcement video
MEDIAWATCH -- Patrick Reis is now politics editor at Rolling Stone. He is a WaPo and POLITICO alum. … Kathleen Hennessey is now a regional political editor based in Minneapolis for the AP. She previously was deputy Washington bureau chief at the AP.
-- FOR THE NERDS: "CNN debuts new polling standards as 2020 race heats up," by Jennifer Agiesta
TRANSITIONS -- Franck Journoud is now VP of technology policy at the Motion Picture Association of America. He previously was senior director of cybersecurity and technology policy at Oracle. … Ed Niles will be director of digital and media at Democratic data firm TargetSmart.

Concurrent delay and the 'prevention principle'
Julian Bailey
Michael Turrini
Karim Mariey
In a judgment issued earlier this week, the English High Court considered whether a contract excluding any claim for an extension of time in respect of periods of concurrent delay caused time to be rendered "at large" due to the operation of the prevention principle.
"Concurrent delay" has been a cause of much controversy in the construction law sphere. Concurrent delay may be said to occur when two or more critical delay events (one, a contractor culpable event and, the other, an employer culpable event) occur at the same time, and their effects are felt at the same time.
North Midland Building Limited v Cyden Homes Limited [2017] EWHC 2414 (TCC)
In North Midland Building v Cyden Homes the contractor brought an application for interpretation of an extension of time clause in an amended JCT Design and Build Contract 2005. The extension of time clause provided that the contractor could claim an extension of time if delay was caused by a Relevant Event, but that:
"any delay caused by a Relevant Event which is concurrent with another delay for which the Contractor is responsible shall not be taken into account".
The contractor sought two declarations from the English Technology and Construction Court:
first, that the effect of the clause was such that time would be "at large" where there was a cause of delay for which the contractor was responsible which was concurrent with a Relevant Event;
secondly, that in these circumstances the contractor was required to complete within a reasonable time, and the liquidated damages for delay were void.
The "Prevention Principle"
In seeking these declarations, the contractor relied on the "prevention principle". The prevention principle arises where an act or omission by the employer prevents the contractor from complying with its obligation to complete the works by the completion date. If this act of prevention causes critical delay to the works, and there is no mechanism in the contract for the time for completion to be extended (or such mechanism is ineffective or inoperable), time is rendered "at large"; the contractor must complete the works within a "reasonable time"; and the employer cannot levy liquidated damages for delay.
The contractor argued that because the extension of time clause operated such that, where there was concurrent delay, the time for completion could not be extended even if there was an act of prevention by the employer, the prevention principle applied to render time at large.
The court rejected this argument, and held that the prevention principle did not arise in these circumstances. Instead, the court found that the case turned on the interpretation of the extension of time clause which the court described as "crystal clear". The court found that the parties had made a clear agreement according to which if the contractor was responsible for a delay event which caused delay at the same time as or during the delay caused by a Relevant Event, then the extension of time awarded to the contractor would not include the delay caused by that Relevant Event.
In reaching this conclusion, the court noted that the definition of "Relevant Event" in the contract expressly included any act of prevention by the employer. Thus, the court found that the parties had agreed the manner in which extensions of time would be dealt with in circumstances where there had been an act of prevention by the employer, and that this agreement should be upheld.
The court also dismissed the contractor's alternative argument that, irrespective of the court's findings with respect to the first declaration, the liability of the contractor to pay liquidated damages for delay "fell away" where there was an act of prevention by the employer. The court found that there was no authority to support the contention that where parties had agreed that extensions of time be dealt with in a specified way, such agreement would (or could) render an otherwise operable liquidated damages clause inoperable. There was also nothing in the contract to support a differentiation between acts of prevention (which were included in the definition of a Relevant Event) and any other Relevant Event.
The judgment recognises that the legal effect of the common law "prevention principle" may be modified or even abnegated by agreement. Accordingly, if a contract excludes any entitlement to an extension of time where there is concurrent delay, the employer will be able to recover delay damages for periods of concurrency even though its act of prevention may have caused at least some of the delay to completion. This conflicts with the approach to concurrent delay taken by the Society of Construction Law's Delay and Disruption Protocol 2nd Edition1, but is in line with the position taken in recent cases in other Commonwealth jurisdictions.2
Whilst this case may lead to clauses which allocate the "risk" of concurrent delay becoming even more common, in practice, instances of true concurrent delay are rare. Often, upon analysis, it becomes apparent that the effect of one delay event is more influential on the critical path than the other, meaning that the two delay events cannot be said to be truly "concurrent".

uncertain environments by encouraging learning through creativity and improvisation (Loch, DeMeyer, & Pich, 2011). Extant literature has investigated several dimensions of innovation in the construction industry (Manseau & Shields, 2005), including the several types and scopes of innovation (Slaughter, 1998), the inherent complexity (Gil, 2007; Shenhar & Dvir, 2013), and the related processes (Tether & Metcalfe, 2003; Winch, 1998; Winch & Carr, 2001), challenges (Gann et al., 1998; Slaughter, 1998), and impediments (Bernstein & Lemer, 1996). However, innovation in megaprojects is a relatively new and not fully understood phenomenon. A traditional concern with minimizing costs and avoiding additional risk has discouraged efforts aiming to improve project performance through experimentation and learning (van Marrewijk, Clegg, Pitsis, & Veenswijk, 2008). In fact, while innovation management tends to offset the risks and opportunities of experimentation, project management tends to associate risks with negative outcomes, such as higher costs and delays (Macaulay, Davies, & Dodgson, 2014). Therefore, innovations are traditionally pursued and implemented within firms—that is, relatively permanent organizations—but formal innovation strategies do not usually exist for megaprojects intended as autonomous but temporary organizational settings (Davies et al., 2014; Dodgson et al., 2008). Although many large contractors involved in megaprojects have developed strategies and capabilities to exploit firm-level innovative ideas across projects, and improve their chances of survival and long-term growth (Dodgson et al., 2008), the transitory nature of project activities restricts the opportunities for innovating within megaprojects (Davies et al., 2014). Moreover, the temporary organizations set up for delivering megaprojects are usually not endowed with independent innovation capabilities, and do not have specific incentives to develop them. As a result, innovation in megaprojects has generally been limited to seeking new ways of controlling and reducing costs and risk, or enabling earlier project completion.
2011; Shenhar & Dvir, 2013). A client, often a public authority, is responsible for setting up a temporary organization with the purpose of coordinating a large network of firms involved in the design, construction, and handover of the physical infrastructure, and managing the relationships with external stakeholders. To do so, the client may rely on capabilities available in-house, and/or appoint a prime contractor or delivery partner (a joint venture, or "special-purpose vehicle"). The delivery of each of the individual projects within the overall program is assigned to permanent organizations, such as contractors and subcontractors.
Megaprojects represent ideal settings for fostering innovation in the construction industry. The complex exchanges taking place within these large networks of individuals and firms often encourage the adoption of novel modes of organizing and foster experimentation with new products and practices. Such innovations often have industry-wide impacts beyond performance improvements (cf. Gann, Wang, & Hawkins, 1998). For example, pioneering megaprojects recently delivered in the United Kingdom, such as Heathrow Terminal 5 and the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics construction program, have shown that innovation and learning can improve project performance substantially (Davies et al., 2009; Davies & Mackenzie, 2014). Although the London 2012 Olympics program did not have a formal innovation strategy, the motivational impact that working on the Olympics had on project teams (the "Olympic effect"), and the sense of urgency associated with unnegotiable deadlines imposed by the fixed opening date, encouraged innovative ideas and solutions, as exemplified by the noteworthy re-design of the Velodrome roof (Mackenzie & Davies, 2011).
and public bodies (Chesbrough, 2006).
We referred to these two dimensions— openness and closeness—to investigate the interplay between different sources of innovation in Crossrail, Europe's largest civil engineering project, aiming to build a £ 14. 8 billion (approximately US$22 billion) suburban railway system in London by 2019. Previous research has explicated how Crossrail Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary and special-purpose vehicle of Transport for London (the client), developed and implemented an innovation strategy to help the main contractors involved in the project to generate new ideas, practices, and technologies (Davies et al., 2014). For the purposes of this article, we studied the early outcomes of such innovation strategy to identify drivers and sources of innovation within the overall program. Our findings highlight the potential advantages of adopting open innovation in megaprojects. Specifically, we illustrate the challenges and benefits associated with managing at the program level the interplay between open and closed models of innovation, and striking the right balance between the two.


Sweden is a Scandinavian country with incredible geographic diversity and tons to see and do. Ranging from boreal forests to glaciers and the buzzing metropolis of Stockholm to rural fishing villages, there's no bad time to visit Sweden.
While Sweden has much to offer visitors any time of year, generally the best time to visit is May through September, especially if you're seeking warm weather. During these months, the days are long and the country's natural beauty is at its peak.
If you're on a budget, you may want to avoid the summer high season. If you like winter sports, skiing and dogsled riding are huge attractions.
It's up to the individual traveler to decide what appeals to them, but Sweden has weather, events, and things to do no matter the season.
Sweden's climate is mostly temperate, despite its northern latitude. While Stockholm is warmer and milder, the mountains of northern Sweden are sub-Arctic. There is an important weather divergence between northern and southern Sweden: The north has a long, harsh winter of more than seven months, while the south has winter weather for only two months and a summer of more than four.
On average, Sweden receives between 20 and 30 inches of precipitation per year, making it drier than many other countries. Most rainfall occurs in late summer, while snow falls, predictably, in winter. Parts of the north have snow on the ground for more than half of the year.
During the summer months, the entire country experiences pleasant temperatures that usually hover around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, during winter, there's much more variation, with temperatures ranging from freezing all the way down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit near the Finnish border.
The most popular time of year to visit Sweden, at least as far as tourist activity goes, is mid-to-late summer.
The weather is warm and pleasant and there are plenty of outdoor events and activities, including swimming at some of Sweden's beautiful beaches. This includes many clothing-optional beaches if you're feeling a little Bohemian.
During the month of June, you can avoid the late-summer crowds and still experience outdoor events (like Midsummer's Eve) and activities, warm weather, and the long hours of daylight known as the Midnight Sun.
May and July are also good options for the visitor who likes outdoor recreation. Be advised that Sweden typically sees more rain in May than in June, and while July is warmer, it also has larger tourist crowds. July and August can also be slightly more expensive than the earlier summer months. This is considered peak tourist season in Sweden and much of Scandinavia.
The natural phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis, also called the Northern Lights, occurs when electrons stream toward the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with air particles. The air then lights up, providing a spectacular visual display.
While Norway is typically the best place to view the Northern Lights, they are generally visible from most points in Sweden—provided that it's not cloudy.
Northern Lights season typically lasts from the end of September through April. From April through August, the sun barely sets at all, diminishing any chances of seeing the phenomenon.
The further north you go, the better the view of the Northern Lights. Typically, the region between Jokkmokk stretching upward toward Norway is usually considered the best viewing area. Sometimes, during times of high solar activity, the Northern Lights can be seen from as far south as Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Like much of Scandinavia, Sweden can be an expensive country to visit—but it doesn't have to be. If you're a budget traveler trying to decide when to go to Sweden, late August and September are your best bets. Flights to Sweden will be cheaper than during the high season, as will local hotel prices.
And the weather in Sweden is still mild enough for outdoor attractions at this point in the year.
If you want to further save money on your trip to Sweden, look for flights from low-cost carriers, like Easy Jet or RyanAir. Once you know when you're visiting, you can also save money by booking your rail tickets early (the best fares are typically seen 90 days out) and choosing budget-friendly accommodations, like a hostel. Outside of the city, camping is a great choice—the country has incredibly friendly laws that allow you to pitch your tent anywhere that's uninhabited.
Any month between November and March will be cold and snowy in Sweden. There are times when the winter sports areas are busier than others, however. The most popular times to visit Swedish ski resorts are late February, March, and December. There are 200 ski resorts in the country of Sweden, with the most popular downhill ski slopes at Åre, in central Sweden. Resorts in Dalarna, Härjedalen, Jämtland, and Swedish Lapland are also popular with visitors and local skiers.
Vinterfest, one of Sweden's biggest classical music festivals, takes place each February in Dalarna.
Stockholm Design Week is held in early February, drawing in crowds of designers and retailers.
The Nobel Prize-giving ceremony is held every year in early December. The invite-only ceremony draws members of the Royal Family as well as other esteemed academics from around the world.
Spring is a great time to visit Sweden: It is still off-season, with low travel prices, and with warmer weather arriving, you can expect to find spring flowers and green landscapes. While the climate is still somewhat unpredictable, days are generally warmer, with flowers beginning to bloom. You'll experience 13 hours of daylight or so throughout the spring.
Walpurgis Eve (Valborgmässoafton) is held on April 30. It's typically celebrated throughout the city with bonfires.
April 25 is Stockholm Culture Night. More than 300 free cultural events take place throughout the city.
Summers in the north are short and cool, but the rest of the country is generally very comfortable and quite warm. Swedes love celebrating the long summer days by flocking to the coast and inland lakes. For visitors, summer is among the best season to visit, with countless outdoor events and attractions. Crowds are common, but worth it thanks to the beautiful weather.
The whole country celebrates Midsummer Eve in June. Accordion-playing and dances around the maypole are the most typical celebrations.
The International Festival of Folk Dance and Music, or Rättviksdansen, takes place biennially in Rättvik. The event draws more than 1,000 folk dancers and musicians from all over the world.
Fall in Sweden can often be quite rainy, as wet air masses blow in from the Atlantic Ocean. Fog is common as well. In the Northern regions, snow and frost will begin by mid-October. September, in particular, can be a nice time to visit, as temperatures are typically still above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Göteborg Book Fair takes place every September in Göteborg. It started in 1985 as a trade fair but is now the largest literary event in Scandinavia. The fair brings in more than 800 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors to Göteborg.
The Stockholm Jazz Festival, established in 1980, draws jazz and blues fans to the city each year. The festival takes place in mid-October at the Skeppsholmen, which is set against the city's harbor.

I went through the Yelp page to find this wonderful film development lab that is in downtown of San Jose. I finally managed to find a local lab to develop my first three rolls of b&w film. For my trial I use Kodak Professional BW400CN that are readily available in Walmart.
When I called the store FotoExpress in downtown of San Jose, the owner greeted me with patience and courtesy and I think it was the Henry mentioned in Yelp page by few of the reviewers for the store. Henry is extremely reliable and patient to give me a quote and rough time line for the photo processing. When I arrived at the store, I was treated especially well by both Henry and his staff. The store has all the films in display and Henry spent his courteous and busy store time with me walking through the black & white films, color films, slides and the intriguing 120 films that I wanted to learn in the near future.
The store provides scanning of my first three rolls of film with a nominal fee as a combo package. The scanning service is outstanding to say the least. There is absolute no comparison with those from Ritz and Walmart that I had tried before with disappointment. The cost is a bit more but when I saw the results and the attention to details and great custom service, all is worth. My nostalgic path back to film has an enviable answer -- I got Henry as both my mentor and lab to go to for future services in years to come. I can't find another store that has better service than that in FotoExpress in downtown of San Jose.
and a Vietnamese Retro around junction with Santa Clara St.
By the way, they are actually located on 7th street and it is easy to pass it by on Santa Clara street in downtown of San Jose. Remember 7th street and cross junction with Santa Clara and there is private parking next to the store as well as parking lot for 1 hour parking with super market store nearby. Parking won't be a problem.
I really want to thank you to my forum friends in their suggestion to find a dependable local film lab as one of critical steps to enjoy film. I searched really hard and ask around, everyone don't like the Walmart, Target and Costco experience and I then I researched in Yelp listening especially to University students and amateur professionals comment on their experiences on selected photo labs. And I found a small lab that charge a bit more but the service won my heart and soul as the owner explained the film differences, slides and what 120 film to try and what to pay attention in the trial. He is like an mentor when I walk into the lab. He offers me even another local contact that is like Eric equivalent in my area. The owner name is Henry and he refers me to one and only super dude that he knows who is dependable in fixing/repairing film cameras.
I am sure my film experience would have been different had I not found Henry and his wonderful lab with FotoExpress in San Jose Downtown.
Welcome to Hin's Photo Corner, this is my learning blog on photography, blogging and advertising. And I hope you enjoy your visit. For contact, please comment in blog post or email me directly hintheman at gmail.com.


In my life I've been fortunate enough to travel far and wide. As I've walked past children cheerfully chasing each other around burning piles of rubbish, the poverty has been plain enough to see. But I am often not there long enough to grasp exactly what is causing it. Travelling through Cambodia in March this year was an entirely different experience. This time I was privileged to be among six Australian journalists travelling with World Vision.
Suddenly through World Vision I had access to a team of experts able to explain why things were the way they were and even better, what it might be possible to do about it.
"It became clear that to make a real difference, we need to take the time to understand the causes of poverty and help the communities to help themselves."
So it makes perfect sense that when World Vision starts working in a community, their staff spend at least a year listening to and understanding the needs of the community members.
Over ten days we visited several communities supported by Australian sponsors. In one village in the Kralanh district where World Vision have just started to work, I heard a desperate story. With a starving family and no other choices, the mother I spoke to has already sent two of her daughters to Thailand with a 'broker' to illegally search for work. She seemed without hope, unable to imagine a positive future for her family.
"In stark contrast to this was another community in Banan district which has been working with World Vision for close to a decade. The faces I saw there, young and old, were beaming with pride, a sense of achievement and so much hope."
Among many initiatives the community have learnt basic business and financial management skills. Through this they have built up an impressive event-hire business – they couldn't wait to show us. World Vision has recently started their planned withdrawal from this community. But there is now a generation of leaders, so that this work can continue without them. Reflecting on my earlier experience in Kranlanh, I was struck by what a very real difference Australian sponsors can make in the lives of people across the world.
"Having been part of a World Vision sponsor family for most of my life, I was startled by how little I had understood about what a difference I could make."
In my version you give to the children to meet limited immediate needs. But the happiest, healthiest and most successful children have loving parents who can provide more than just the basics. They can teach them the crucial skills needed to build their own futures.
Sponsors like you and I are vital to this. I came home with a completely new understanding of the challenges faced in countries like Cambodia and what those of us in more privileged positions can do to help.

We All Scream – for the Winning Pure Michigan Ice Cream Flavor Pure Michigan, Hudsonville Ice Cream and Detroit Tigers Unveil Winning Flavor
DETROIT – Pure Michigan, Hudsonville Ice Cream and the Detroit Tigers are kicking off the official start of summer by announcing Pure Michigan Double Berry Pie as Michigan's next great ice cream flavor at tonight's Tigers home game at Comerica Park.
The winning flavor features vanilla ice cream and swirls of blueberries and strawberries surrounded by real pie crust pieces. The flavor was submitted by Linda Ann Stewart of Taylor, Michigan who drew her inspiration from Michigan lighthouses. Stewart described the flavor as "rays of blueberry and strawberry," with the pie crust pieces representing golden sand around the state's lighthouses.
"We love partnering with Pure Michigan and this year's flavor competition has been no exception," said Caryn Beatty of Hudsonville Ice Cream. "We received an overwhelming number of Michigan inspired ideas that highlighted Michiganders' great pride for their state. Linda Ann's combination of fresh produce was a unique entry that wonderfully embodies the taste of Pure Michigan."
"Pairing Hudsonville ice cream with Michigan blueberries and strawberries is a great way to get a taste of Pure Michigan agriculture," said Jamie Clover Adams, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Director. "With June being dairy month, and the kick-off of Michigan's fresh fruit season, I thank MEDC and Hudsonville for their ongoing support of the state's food and agriculture industry."
In addition to winning a two night stay at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, a year's supply of Hudsonville ice cream and Pure Michigan merchandise, Stewart and her family were invited to throw out the first pitch prior to tonight's game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox.
"Enjoying a Hudsonville Ice Cream during the summer months is a natural for Tigers fans and part of the Comerica Park experience," said Steve Harms, Tigers' Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. "The Pure Michigan Double Berry Pie flavor is certain to be a hit."
More than 7,000 flavor suggestions were submitted during the course of the two weeks to determine the next great Pure Michigan ice cream flavor. Other flavors submitted included Michigan Chardonnay Cherry Fudge, Pure Maple Syrup Sundae and Pictured Rocks Swirl. Pure Michigan Double Berry Pie was chosen as the winning flavor by Hudsonville based on its inclusion of Michigan produce and unique flavor combination.
"This flavor speaks to the spirit of Pure Michigan we wanted to tap into with this contest – from highlighting our vast agricultural offerings to drawing on our shoreline and natural beauty for inspiration," said George Zimmermann, Vice President of Travel Michigan, part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. "This is an engaging and fun way to celebrate Pure Michigan as America's perfect summer destination."
Pure Michigan Double Berry Pie will be available as a limited edition flavor in grocery stores beginning in October, 2013.
Pure Michigan is a brand on the rise, representing business, talent and tourism initiatives across Michigan. These efforts are driven by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, which serves as the state's marketing arm and lead agency for business growth, jobs and opportunity with a focus on helping grow Michigan's economy.

Back in December I tracked piano and vocals for my forthcoming EP. For a variety of reasons, I will not be using those tracks. The setbacks over the last few months have been incredibly painful, but as a friend reminded me today, the obstacles will ultimately lead to a more personally satisfying experience making the record and will contribute to a more wholly representative piece of work.
Flight is booked!

All four songs for my forthcoming EP are now written! My producer Roy Silverstein of Rarefied Recording has been instrumental (music pun!) in the development of these songs by providing thoughtful feedback and supportive affirmation throughout the writing process. I am deeply grateful to him and can't wait to get in the studio with him next month!
Hello, and thank you

Sometimes I find it difficult to remember reasons I should continue to create. Beyond the personal need – the obsession, compulsion, the calling – I struggle to find meaning and purpose in the endeavor of making music. (more…)
New music emerging
by Carmen Caserta	on March 21, 2016 July 5, 2017
It's been just over a year since the release of my last EP, Moments of Mercy, in December 2014. It was a quiet release; I didn't do a crowdfunding campaign, I didn't have a release show, and I didn't make any CDs to try and sell. I've hardly touched my piano since tracking. I've never played the songs live; I've hardly wanted to. Performing is something I only occasionally yearn to do. But when I go for a prolonged period of time without playing the piano, without singing and writing and creating new music and sharing it with you, that's when I feel I'm not fulfilling my calling. This is a painful place to reach; but so far, it seems this pain is my most persuasive motivator. I have reached that pivotal place. And thus, it's time to make new music! (more…)
Reflections on The Hive
by Carmen Caserta	on December 11, 2014 July 5, 2017
As I prepare to release my new record, I've been reflecting on my 2011 debut album, The Hive. That record was the culmination of a decade of songwriting. It took that long to record and release those songs because fear and self-doubt had been hindering me until I finally rose up and resolved to get the music out. (more…)
Up the steps to the stage
by Carmen Caserta	on September 18, 2013 July 5, 2017
When I listen to music, music that really moves me, I connect with and feel my life, my emotions, my experiences. When I listen to music, when I write music, when I play music, I feel. Emotions do not always feel safe. They can be intense, sometimes overwhelming. They are often unpleasant and frightening. I've gone to great lengths to escape them, but they are a part of me. No matter what I've tried, I have not been successful in escaping my experiences and the emotions that accompany them. (more…)

Why join a Transition Town?
Why join in with your local community initiatives like Tufnell Park transition town?
Why join in with your local community initiatives like Tufnell Park transition town? It might be that you are becoming disenchanted with the way the world is going , such as the speed of things, the long working hours, the expectation that one has to endlessly consume more and more. Whether young middle aged or old, we can too easily end up living lives that are expected of us rather than of our own choosing, and to succumb to the pressures to fit into a shiny and fast contemporary zeitgeist. Linking withoura local community. Initiative can help.
Indeed we need not buy the dominant conservative ideas – that living in a competitive individualistic market way is natural, that more is always better or that humans are 'naturally' selfish – we can become so used to such ideas that we believe that there is no alternative .. but there is!
We might remember that we have evolved as a species to live in close proximity with members of a community with whom we work, live, love and play, and who we understand, care about, help and support. Rather than being naturally selfish (as conservative and free-market theorists would have us believe) babies as young as 15 month old have been shown in experiments to want to 'naturally' help others, and they want to fit in, learn social rules, understand and care about other people's thoughts and feelings and become part of their local group and culture.
Feeling close to others makes us feel good. We release oxytocin, the love hormone, when we help each other, and when we are with people we like and love, and oxytocin makes us more trusting and more interested in other people's thoughts and feelings. Reward circuits in our braisn light up when we are caring and generous to others just as when we get something for ourselves. We are wired to be helpful, it feels good.
Furthermore in case you don't have enough incentive, such oxytocin release and being part of joint activities, also boosts our immune systems and improves our health. Being in social groups even has been proven to increase the likelihood of recovery from serious illnesses such as heart attacks or strokes. Having friends and helping other people and being committed to a cause are all good for us, but more importantly, they are good for the community, and ultimately, if the cause is transition town, it is good for the planet.
On the other hand living a monadic individualistic lifestyle where we see others as competitors and rivals, increases stress levels. The more stress hormones we release, like cortisol, the more our immune system is adversely affected, and generally the worse we feel, including feeling more anxious and less trusting. Our heart rates and blood pressure increase and we are over-alert. Stress hormones even affect our memories, corroding brain cells in our hippocampus. However community life can have the opposite effect. It can calm and soothe us, make us trusting rather than suspicious, help us believe that we can live for others, for good causes, and not only for ourselves and our families. When we look at it like this, there is no alternative to working together to create a genuine alternative!

AWESOME-tober-fest 2015: Destroyer (1988) movie review
This is it! The final day of the final week of AWESOME-tober-fest 2015. It's been a blast. I really hope you guys have had as much fun as I've had. I'm sad to see the Halloween season come to a close. But, all good things, am I right? Anyway, without further ado, here is today's final AWESOME-tober-fest article and it's the last of this week's look back at all of my previous years' AWESOME-tober-fest subjects.
Last year, my theme was Bloody Best of Fangoria. I went through the vast history of the magazine, showed you articles and pictures and each Friday I reviewed a B-horror movie that appeared in the pages of the magazine. Those reviews were called Fangoria Movie Fridays. The last FMF was the awesome Cheerleader Camp starring Lucinda Dickey. But it was almost a different movie. As a matter of fact, it was so almost a different movie that I had watched and mostly drafted a completely different movie review but I changed my mind at the last second. I think it's time to bring that movie back and give it its due. That movie was the flick Destroyer from 1988. It starred Lyle Alzado, Debra Foreman and Anthony Perkins.
Here's the ad they used to promote the VHS release. I remember seeing it in an issue of Fangoria.
Lyle looks like he's holding his head weird. Or is his head just Photoshopped into the poster? I can't tell.
Here's the actual poster for the movie.
Yeah, this is actually a bit more bonkers and awesome. Did you notice that they added a LASER SCOPE to the jackhammer? Why the f**k does he need a laser scope on the jackhammer?! Crazy. And weird. And awesome.
Anyway, this movie poster obviously spoke to me. Lyle Alzado as a "half dead" serial killer? Anthony Perkins as a horror movie director? Yes, please.
So, first, is this movie any good. Ehhh, it's okay. It's not bad for a late 80s slasher flick with a ton of cult pop culture familiar faces in it. What's it about, well, Alzado plays a serial killer who is on Death Row. He is about to be executed when a power surge while he's in the electric chair makes him "half dead". Essentially it makes him a savage, nearly indestructible killing machine. The jail is abandoned and Lyle is left to roam the empty jail. Flash forward two years or so and a horror film crew arrives to film their movie in the infamous jail. They, of course, stir up Lyle who starts killing off members of the crew. How do you stop an unkillable monster? I. Don't. Know.
That's the basic premise. Did I mention this movie had familiar faces? Yep, let's quickly look at the cast. You've already seen sweaty Lyle Alzado up there on the poster as the "lead". Lyle is known mainly for football but he also appeared in this movie, Ernest Goes to Camp, Zapped…Again! (yes, the sequel to Zapped!) and the sadly short lived wrestling sitcom Learning the Ropes.
The next most notable face would be the aforementioned Anthony Perkins, best known as Norman Bates in the Psycho movies. Anthony is playing the director of the horror movie-within-the-movie, Death House Dolls. Honestly, Perkins is pretty much the best thing in the movie. He's very entertaining and I loved every scene he's in.
Here's a familiar face, Clayton Rohner.
I did not expect him to pop up in this movie. This guy is an 80s staple with lead rolls in Just One of the Guys, I, Madman and another little horror film I love called April Fool's Day. If you haven't seen April Fool's Day, watch it. It's pretty great. But also starring in April Fool's Day was an actress named Deborah Foreman. And in a nice little reunion, Deborah is in this movie as well.
Deborah is adorable. You've seen her in a ton of 80s flicks like Valley Girl, Real Genius, Hot Pursuit and My Chauffeur. Unfortunately she goes with "Hilary Clinton" hair in this movie which is rather…unfortunate.
I do like both of these guys, so it's nice to have them here. Clayton comes off a little better because he's written to be a funny, irreverant writer so he has some funny lines.
So, how's Lyle? He's okay. I mentioned his character is described as "half dead", which I assume means he has "crazy eyes". Because that's what he does at every opportunity. Gives us his "crazy eyes".
He does seem to have a lot of fun with that jackhammer, though.
Easy, Lyle, you can go blind handling that jackhammer so much. Take a break, buddy.
If you like cheesy 80s "horror" with a dash of comedy, I think you'll like this.

ACHD's Road Wizard Sunday, February 28, 2016
Cost for construction crane taking lanes on Capitol Boulevard; concerns about left turns from Walnut Street onto Warm Springs Avenue at peak times; reader complaints about access management on Overland Road east of Five Mile Road
The Road Wizard Replies
Dear Road Wizard: The outside two lanes of northbound Capitol Boulevard by The Grove Hotel are blocked by a construction crane. This blockage causes northbound traffic to merge to the right and often blocks the Grove Street and Capitol intersection. Do construction firms have to obtain a permit to use the public right-of-way for crane placement? If a permit is required, is there a cost? It seems that there should be some sort of public inconvenience fee charged when traffic lanes are eliminated from public use. Why is a construction project allowed to use the public streets?
Road Wizard:
Usually there is room for construction equipment off-road. But this is downtown Boise, and there wasn't enough vacant land to park the crane. The crane is there as part of the construction of an underground transportation hub.
A permit is required to set up shop in the right-of-way, and there is a fee. If equipment is on the road for less than three weeks, the charge is $75 per week.
This particular crane will be there longer, so the fee calculation is different. It is based on the value of the bare land along the impacted road. Since this is prime real estate, the fee is about $525 a week.
Dear Road Wizard: Can you put a reader board on Walnut Street northbound at Warm Springs Avenue to emphasize "right turn only" between 4 and 6 p.m.? There is a sign below the stop sign that clearly states "right turn only" but more and more drivers continue to dismiss it. With all of the additional traffic on that route because of the Broadway Bridge construction detour, it is becoming a real problem. Maybe an officer can ticket the drivers.
Dorie
The left-turn restriction has been there for years because it is difficult to make the turn onto busy Warm Springs. It causes traffic delays for Walnut.
ACHD counted motorists during "right turn only" hours on Walnut before and after the bridge construction detours were established. There is about a 10 percent increase in traffic, but only a one percent increase in illegal left-turning drivers. That isn't enough to justify a larger sign. ACHD will instead ask police to do some additional patrols.
Dear Road Wizard: ACHD has made a big mistake in my opinion. Instead of making it a "No Left Turn/Right Turn Only" from the Country Square Shopping Center onto Overland Road, they extended the left-turn lane on Overland at Five Mile Road past the entrance/exit forcing westbound traffic wanting to turn into the shopping center to turn behind AutoZone. To make matters worse, they created a problem for eastbound traffic wanting to access Wells Fargo, etc. during busy times.
This is a case of two major roads and too-close-for-comfort driveways. Welcome to the ins and outs (or rather the reduced ins and outs) of access management.
The Country Square driveway developed a bad crash record involving left turns. ACHD extended the left-turn lane curb on Overland east of Five Mile because this was the best way to prevent the driveway left turns. If a sign alone restricted the turn, drivers may ignore it. (See the previous question.) Fortunately, there is still good access to the businesses from the Overland and Five Mile intersection.

Cardinal Burke: We face a grave crisis, touching the heart of the Church
August 16, 2018 CNA Daily News News Briefs 4 Print
Washington D.C., Aug 16, 2018 / 06:31 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Cardinal Raymond Burke said Thursday that the Catholic Church is facing "a very grave crisis" due to the "grievous failure" on the part of certain bishops and that "a serious loss of confidence in our shepherds" needs to be restored after sexual abuse scandals in the United States.
"We are in the face of a very grave crisis, which is touching at the very heart of the Church because Our Lord acts on behalf of the flock through those shepherds who are ordained to act in His person, teaching, celebrating the sacraments, and governing the Church," said Burke in an interview on Raymond Arroyo's "World Over" Aug. 16.
Cardinal Burke, 70, is prefect emeritus of the Apostolic Signatura. He recently returned to Rome from an almost month-long visit to the United States, said that he had "never heard so much anger, so much disappointment, so much frustration from good, Catholic faithful" than during this visit to the U.S.
"We are dealing here with the gravest of sins … We have to focus our attention on that, and do what is just with regard to all parties involved."
"For the bishop who has failed grievously in this area, the Church's penal remedies are expiatory remedies for his good also. They address principally the good of the flock because a bishop is a bishop for the care of the flock."
"For the bishop to prey upon the flock, committing mortal sins, this is simply unacceptable and it has to stop," said Burke.
The only way this trust will be restored "is to get to the bottom of this whole matter and make sure for the future that this does not happen," and this falls under the responsibility of the Holy Father, said Burke.
It is the pope's responsibility to receive accusations against a bishop and investigate them, he stressed. "This is not a part of the responsibility of the conference of bishops," he said, referring to the U.S. bishops' Aug. 16 statement on investigation and reporting procedures for bishops' misconduct.
"As far as developing new procedures, the procedures have been in the law of the Church for centuries. They simply, especially in recent times, have not been known and have not been followed," he continued.
"The Catholic Church in the United States is undergoing possibly one of the worst crises that it has ever experienced," said Burke. "It has to be recognized and it has to be dealt with in a thorough manner that is faithful to the Church's moral law, to the Church herself, and to the office of the bishops."
Burke said that the Pennsylvania grand jury investigation needs to be studied very carefully. "It is simply a matter that needs to be approached with reason and with truth. Where we discover that the appropriate action has not been taken, then that bishop has to be corrected. If the bishop had failed very grievously, then he would simply have to be removed."
"What we are seeing right now in the Church, to the grave harm of so many souls and really also to the scandal of the world in general, is that the Church, which should be a beacon of light, is involved in such a crisis."
"I think we have to recognize … an apostasy from the faith. I believe that there has been a practical apostasy from the faith with regards to all of the questions involving human sexuality; principally, it starts with the idea that there can be legitimate sexual activity outside of marriage, which of course is false, completely false."
"I do believe in this present time, not only with regard to this crisis which we are speaking, but with regard to a number of other situations in the Church that the devil is very active," said Cardinal Burke.
He emphasized that "we have to conduct all of the reasonable activity to get to the truth of the matters and try to restore justice in the Church, but at the same time all of us need to pray ever more fervently for the Church and to fast and undertake other sacrifices for the good of the Church. We really need to have some serious acts of reparation for the suffering that has been inflicted upon members of the faithful, upon the flock of our Lord, and that is our responsibility."
"I can only urge everyone to draw closer to Our Lord who leads us and guides us. He will never abandon us."

Church Militant has posted an interview with Cardinal Burke conducted by Thomas McKenna where his Eminence hits the nail on the head.
Now it seems clear in light of these recent terrible scandals that indeed there is a homosexual culture, not only among the clergy but even within the hierarchy, which needs to be purified at the root. It is of course a tendency that is disordered.
Fr Peter Morello
I'm a great admirer of Cardinal Burke although the only solution "getting to the bottom" of the moral debacle is naive. We've hit bottom and for most it's common knowledge that a very long insidious absorption of homosexuals into the priesthood is the problem. There can be no compromise on what got us to this very bottom of loss of morale and credibility. Faithful prelates remain fearful of say the word homosexual. For this to end there must be a veritable inquisition of all clergy and ousting of the guilty. There must not be any compromise for admission to seminary not simply of active homosexuals but anyone with same sex attraction. They can lead good holy lives elsewhere. The priesthood and Church have suffered perhaps beyond rehabilitation unless the strongest of measures are put in place soon and permanently. Otherwise we continue to disintegrate as a meaningful witness to the world.
What got the Catholic Church to the bottom of this moral abyss is mass apostasy by its priests, bishops, and cardinals, specifically and emphatically accelerated by the deliberate ambiguities and outright errors of Vatican II. Clerical homosexuality, pedophilia, sadomasochism, and pornography are heinous mortal sins that manifest the rebellion against and rejection of the divine and natural law entrusted to the Church — but the root cause is apostasy.
Pathetically weak hand-wringing leadership from Cardinal Burke, I am forced to add. What a huge disappointment he has been.
