Celebrity chef and Food Network host Guy Fieri drove from the Napa Valley to Redding to work with the Salvation Army and help feed Carr Fire evacuees.
The Carr Fire, burning near the Northern California city of Redding has forced 14,000 people to evacuate and has killed six people and destroyed over 700 homes.
It is just one of 17 wildfires burning across the state, which has stretched resources thin.
That's why, over the weekend, celebrity chef and Food Network host Guy Fieri drove from the Napa Valley to Redding to work with the Salvation Army to help feed the evacuees.
"It is unbelievable to see what folks are going through, but also how great this community is," said Fieri. "It is great to see how all these folks have come together with the Salvation Army. We are in tough times in the world, with all the things going on, and boy, you take a moment like this, and you really see what America's made of, a lot of great people coming together."
"My team and I got involved. My son and I, and his buddies, and a bunch of mine, we loaded up our caravan from wine country and drove four hours up here."
"I have probably got 20 volunteers, right now we are standing in a parking lot of Shasta College, and we have a makeshift kitchen set up with one of my trailers and a bunch of stoves."
"We just did lunch for 750, and we are getting ready to do dinner for that same group right now, trying to keep the menu interesting."


We've been huge fans of the wonders worked by the Virtuoso Family here for years now, but especially when it comes to barbecuing. Fantastic home-made sausage is a given, but make sure you ask about their pinwheels – those are really a treat, as well. Plus, you've got a whole assortment of fantastic pasta salads to choose from here, a nice variety of olives, cheeses, etc. And did we mention that they make just about the best meatballs in New York City? Oh yeah, definitely – and we don't need any stinking contest to prove that either, just try 'em yourself, you'll see!
There are actually a couple of IAVARONE establishments that seem to think their motto is, "When Being Obnoxious Is Necessary," but we definitely feel this one on Metro stands out for combining the down-to-earth hospitality you would expect from your neighborhood butcher with the tremendous inventory of quality that you get when you patronize the IB Foods brand. Their sausage is exceptional here, as are their Angus Beef Steaks, but if you ask us, it's hard to pass up throwing a little Beef Braciole in there, as well – it's exactly the way Grandma used to make it!
Also in Middle Village, you might want to check out MATSON'S on Dry Harbor Road, especially if you're thinking of getting a couple of heroes for your 4th of July gathering, they've got a staggeringly huge selection here. We're also pretty fond of their Ranch Pasta Salad – just can't get enough of it – as well as their Rice Balls. You might want to come and eyeball everything in the glass showcase and then pick it up the day of. If you've never been, we're pretty sure you're going to be back again and again!
If you're thinking maybe German-American style deli fare is more to your liking, we highly recommend WALTER'S DELICATESSEN. Pumpernickel bread to die for, a whole host of sandwich options, a fine selection of cold cuts, and without question the best potato salad you're going to find anywhere! (Especially the Penn Dutch!) Wait, wait, wait – what about the Bratwurst? Yes, yes, yes – you have got to try the Bratwurst!
Speaking of German delicacies, KARL EHMER MEATS is still the best butcher on the block – but especially when that block happens to be Fresh Pond Road! Now in its 78th year of operation, this is one of the premier destinations around town for sausage and wurst, and if you're looking for something a little exotic for your barbecue this year, can we recommend to you either the Knockwurst or the Bockwurst. By the way, you know those, whattaya call 'em, hot dogs that are so popular this time of year – you know they're really called frankfurters, right? Anyway, you are hereby advised to avail yourselves of the Seitenwurst here (aka Long Weiners). These Vienna-style hot dogs have a great "snap" taste to them, and when grilled properly, will have a distinctive crunch. Definitely worth trying!
Just a stone's throw away off Fresh Pond Road (if you throw it really, really hard, actually) is one of our longtime favorites, MIKE & MARIA'S DELICATESSEN. The extensive renovation they recently undertook has afforded brother and sister Mike and Maria the opportunity to do a lot more with hot plates, catering, etc. So this is probably where you want to head not just for some fantastic sandwiches and wraps, but some nice sausage 'n' peppers, a six-foot hero or two (or three), eggplant parmigiana, and more. You know what – you name it, they can make it! Go check 'em out!
A lot of people (and seriously, folks, a lot of people…) swear by this Forest Hills institution, which they collectively refer to simply as Mitch's. What's most appealing about this butcher shop is the avuncular charm of its proprietor (Mitch) and the fact that he will take the time to grind the meat right in front of you, involving you in the process and thereby reminding you of a time when the world was a better place. It's one of the extra steps that really go a long way towards building (and sustaining) customer loyalty. And why would you want to mess with that, right?
Also in Forest Hills, BOSTON MARKET has made themselves downright reasonable of late (thanks to our wonderful economy), and we always feel like whenever we go, it reminds us that every single day can resemble that other quintessentially American holiday – Thanksgiving! You're not going to find better turkey in too many other places, and their meatloaf is nothing to be ashamed of either. But as far as we're concerned, what makes BOSTON MARKET special are its delectable sides – the creamed spinach, the macaroni 'n' cheese, and that oh-so-memorable Sweet Potato Casserole. So if picnicking is where it's at for y'all this 4th of July, make sure you check out BOSTON MARKET. You're going to be very pleasantly surprised!
Happy 4th of July, everyone – Enjoy it!

Jameel Jaffer, founding director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, has set the institute's agenda for its first year with a newly assembled launch team. The institute, created with $60 million in funding committed by Columbia University and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in 2016, will use research, education and litigation to preserve and advance First Amendment rights—expanding the freedoms of speech and the press—in the digital age.
The Knight Institute team is now preparing to file FOIA requests related to First Amendment issues in the new administration. The initial focus will be limitations or guidelines on the speech of government workers. The institute will also respond to changes in the technology and media landscape, including the rise of social media and surveillance, and the waning power and resources of traditional news companies.
"The Knight Institute's mandate seemed important six months ago, but today it could hardly be more urgent. At a moment when the freedoms of speech and the press seem both unsettlingly fragile and absolutely crucial, I'm excited to have the chance to work with such a talented team," said Jaffer.
Jaffer has litigated some of the most significant post-9/11 cases relating to national security and civil liberties and is one of the nation's leading advocates for government transparency. Jaffer recently edited The Drone Memos: Targeted Killing, Secrecy, and the Law, published by the New Press in 2016.
Abdo was until recently a senior staff attorney in the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology project. He has been at the forefront of litigation relating to National Security Agency surveillance, encryption, anonymous speech online, and government transparency. Prior to joining the ACLU, Abdo was an attorney with the National Security Project, where he was involved in the litigation of cases concerning the Patriot Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In 2015 he argued the complex and closely watched appeal that resulted in the Second Circuit invalidating the NSA's call-records program. He graduated from Yale College and Harvard Law School.
Fallow was previously deputy director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission. Until 2013, she was a partner at Jenner & Block, specializing in media and First Amendment law. She was instrumental in many First Amendment cases there, including EMA v. Brown, the case in which the Supreme Court held that violent video games are protected speech. She also defended The Huffington Post and other news outlets in a variety of defamation cases around the country. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and Harvard Law School.
Caplan is a visiting lecturer at Yale Law School and was previously the editor and president of Legal Affairs magazine, a staff writer for The New Yorker, and a member of The New York Times editorial board, where he wrote about the Supreme Court. He is a former Guggenheim and White House fellow. Caplan is the author of, among other books, American Justice 2016: the Political Supreme Court and The Tenth Justice: The Solicitor General and the Rule of Law. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School.
Valentino-DeVries spent more than a decade at the Wall Street Journal as a web producer, editor and investigative reporter focusing on computer security, surveillance and the law. She was a key member of a team that reported on technological privacy and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting in 2012. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

JERUSALEM - Vice President Mike Pence placed his hand on the hallowed Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City on Tuesday as he wrapped up a four-day trip to the Mideast that ended with Palestinians still fuming over the Trump administration's decision to recognize the city as Israel's capital.
On a solemn visit to the holiest site where Jews can pray, Pence tucked a small white note of prayer in the wall's cracks after touring the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During his first trip to the region as vice president, Pence sought to enlist the help of Arab leaders in Egypt and Jordan on the Mideast peace process and used a high-profile speech to the Knesset to reaffirm President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital and accelerate plans to open a U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
But Pence's willingness to meet with Palestinian leaders - he told The Associated Press in an interview that the "door's open" - was rebuffed by President Mahmoud Abbas, who canceled meetings last month and offered a not-so-subtle snub by overlapping with Pence in Jordan from Saturday evening until midday Sunday.
Much of Pence's trip focused on working with U.S. partners to counter terrorism and make the case for persecuted Christian minorities in the Middle East. But shortly before Air Force Two departed Jerusalem, Abbas' ruling Fatah party called for a general strike to protest Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital - another escalation after the Trump administration had raised hopes of a cooling-down period.
"The trip made zero progress in bringing the Palestinians back to the table," Ilan Goldenberg, director of the Middle East Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, wrote in an email. "In fact, it probably only hardened the Palestinian position."
Aaron David Miller, a Wilson Center distinguished fellow who served as a State Department Middle East analyst and negotiator, said the trip shouldn't be judged in terms of accomplishments. Pence wasn't going to make any breakthroughs, largely because of the Palestinian freeze-out after Trump's announcement, he said.
A senior White House official said top negotiators for the Trump administration, Jared Kushner, a senior adviser and the president's son-in-law, and Jason Greenblatt, Trump's special representative for international negotiations, had not spoken to Palestinian leaders since just before Trump's Dec. 6 announcement. The official wasn't authorized to describe private deliberations.

PREVIEW 8pm, Schubert Theatre
OPENING 8pm, Schubert Theatre
PERFORMANCE 2pm, Schubert Theatre
PERFORMANCE 7:30pm, Schubert Theatre
"And sometimes we are devils to ourselves"
JULY 26 - AUGUST 6 | SCHUBERT THEATRE
Heroes, kings, lovers, and clowns expose the follies of war with sardonic insight and cynical wit. A mythic who's who of classic heroic characters—Hector, Ulysses, and Achilles along with the lovers Troilus and Cressida—come face to face with stark realities after a years-too-long military conflict. A satirical, farcical, and sometimes tragic comedy only Shakespeare could deliver, and a rare opportunity to see it.
"Extreme Shakespeare." This production will be rehearsed the way Shakespeare's company would have: actors arrive with their lines learned, rehearse on their own, wear what they can find, and open in a matter of days. No director, no designers. Just great actors, a compelling play, pure adrenaline, spontaneity, and creativity. Ages 13+

Building A Dream With Nour Hachem Fawaz
Since 2014, Nour Hachem Fawaz has continued to build a dream for many young women and girls looking to get into careers that challenge the status quo and push the envelope for women wanting to get into male dominated jobs.
Back in 2012, Nour was working for a non-profit organization called Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor where she helped women on social assistance and women who were unemployed to get into the workforce.
"One day we did an analysis of where our clients were finding employment and a lot of our clients were finding very low paying positions," Nour explains. "Often I was doing the math with my clients to ensure that the full-time job provided a living wage to afford them the option to get off the system and full-time into the workforce."
Nour shared that doing that within her job sparked an interest in how she could help her clients find high paying positions and get them into the workforce not just in low paying positions but positions that can lead to long term financial success.
"Windsor-Essex is really known for the manufacturing sector, there's a lot of skilled trades opportunities," Nour says. "So, at the time, we hosted a workshop and invited close to 300 of our clients to learn about career pathways and skilled trades and only one of our clients showed up."
Since then, that pushed Nour to do her research and find out why women on social assistance seeking full-time positions never considered skilled trade positions. Furthermore, why women made up only 3% of skilled trade workers across Canada, yet there was a significant demand.
"We partnered with many stakeholders and beginning asking important questions to help us better understand the barriers and limitations preventing women from accessing these positions." Nour explains. "At the time, the federal government of Canada launched a proposal that was asking community organizations to come up with ways to help young women reach economic success."
From there on, Nour and her team launched a project called "We Succeed Beyond The Status Quo", which looked into what influences the career decision of a young woman and what educators, employers, government and community could do to help young women consider career pathways in male-dominated industries including the Skilled Trades, STEM( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Emergency Response and Entrepreneurship.
"One of our many findings was parents were key influencers in that decision-making process," Nour shares. "That's when we launched Build A Dream with our funding partners, The Greater-Essex County District School Board, The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, St. Clair College, University of Windsor and Workforce Windsor Essex as a one-time event, where we invited parents and their daughters."
The first Build A Dream event included role models sharing their career journeys, companies showcasing the opportunities within their company, college, and universities with hands on experience and within that, the event was a huge success.
"Parents were overwhelmed with how many opportunities were available for their daughters," Nour says. "We kept hosting it as a grassroots initiative every year at the same time during my role at Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor I had written a provincial grant to secure additional funding to lead a pre-apprenticeship training program to get women trained in the skilled trades. WEST in partnership with St. Clair College received funding to train women in Windsor-Essex in the manufacturing industry. A program that still exists today."
Nour has travelled across Canada speaking about diversity and inclusion in the workplace and recruiting, attracting, retaining and advancing women in the male-dominated industries.
In 2017, Nour registered Build a Dream as a Not-for-Profit organization with the goal of taking the movement across Canada. The organization has scaled significantly with programs and services that service all stakeholders addressing diversity and inclusion efforts. With her role as the President/Founder of Build A Dream to motherhood to running a growing foundation, Nour's mission is to spread the word to other young women that they can do anything in their career.
"Having been raised and often told while I was growing up that I couldn't do things because I was a female or a girl, I often questioned that," Nour shares. "I didn't really agree clearly, with what was being told to me so I made it my mission to tell other women that yes you can and I'm going to show you how."
When asked what empowers Nour daily, she shared that there is just something magical about young women owning their power.
"Young women owning their voice and young women owning their actions," Nour shares. "Women that believe in their power and their dreams to achieve their goals and to just be able to watch that unfold, watching them install their confidence and evolve, I just think that is what ultimately empowers me every day."

Good Wednesday to you my friends!
So much going on in my GCTB headquarters these days… I love growth and contribution, journeys and words, teaching and dancing, sharing and giving, and more than anything I love to see where our dance, our wellness, our inspirations take us, collectively and individually… Nothing makes my heart beat faster when client makes breakthroughs, a dancers steps up to her desires, a body feels better, and life gets even better and juicier! You know I LOVE what I do… what I can share with your and guide you to and dance with you and watch your journey unfold!
One of my projects right now is having three, not one, but three new websites built, for Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance®, for my Movement, Momentum, and Magic Transformational Coaching page, and for Tribal Grooves™! So exciting…and here is my new logo for GCTB!!! Isn't it just so freakin awesome??!!
My Gypsy Caravan journey started in 2002 meeting and dancing with Paulette and her husband and musician, Jeff Rees, in Auckland, New Zealand. I already knew I loved the dance but the feeling of Dance connection was intriguing and I wanted to know what else it had to offer.
In 2009 I made the decision to go to Adelaide, Australia , I gained Gypsy Caravan's Collective Soul Certification Level 1 AND Teacher Training Level 1.
Since then I have continued my role in this Sisterhood. I've explored my passion for our Dance which has also fueled my creativity enabling me to create my own range of Tribal Head pieces and accessories.
I am proud to say I am part of GCDC, Int, Director of Caravan Project Auckland and NZ, student at CS level 4 (for now), Certified teacher Tribal Grooves™ in Level 1, (first in NZ) and most recently GCTB Master Teacher Level 1. In this newest role I am excited to be able to take the Dance across NZ!
My life circle embraces Family, Friends, Dance, creativity, Health & Fitness, uniting life, work and dance balance which feeds my contentment. I enjoy the Self awareness and healthy mind set that evolves .
Being involved and sharing with others as they bloom as women and dancers is so rewarding and I feel honored to be part of that.
GC is so much more than just a Dance. There is such an intense surge of energy created in the circle when we dance, that connection is palpable to both dancers and those watching, its raw and inviting, a special moment, recreated whenever we dance, however big or small the circle.
Its definitely a lifestyle choice which weaves its way insidiously through your life embracing and uniting in all areas. That shared experience growing together on so many levels; learning more about ourselves as the woman, the student, teacher, mentor and dancer within, its nurturing and grounding.
We refill, refuel and reconnect each time we gather.
We are forging Roots of the GC tree of Dance … sharing the knowledge and the connection, our growth, our individual journeys and the growth of this Sisterhood.
The energy we share is powerful and woven across the Globe, this Dance unites us, I am fortunate to say I have a GC global family and have danced with women all over the world.
← My worlds collide in such a great way!

Tweenage Dirtbag: How Tween Hobo Alena Smith Turned Her Twitter Account Into a Career
By Drew Grant • 07/23/14 9:00am
Alena Smith, aka Tween Hobo, reads at BookCourt in Brooklyn. (PHOTO: Kaitlyn Flannagan)
Alena Smith, the playwright and author, is not what comes to mind when you think of the word "tween." For starters, she's 34 years old. And her credentials include off-Broadway productions like The Bad Guys as well as a stint writing for the last season of Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. But standing in front of an audience at BookCourt last Thursday night, Ms. Smith transformed her usually confident voice to slope upward: the question mark lilt hinting at a voice of a generation (as Ms. Smith's fan Lena Dunham might put it) albeit one a smidge younger than her own.
"So, it was a typical night down in Hobo Jungle," Ms. Smith began as she read from the fictional autobiography Tween Hobo: Off the Rails, based on her popular Twitter account. Ms. Smith's protagonist, a plucky, perpetually 12-year-old Bielieber riding the rails in search of her brother, chronicles her vagrant lifestyle with the over-enthusiastic OMGs typically associated with kids who've grown up with ADHD medications in one hand and smart phones in the other.
"Me and Tin Cap Earl were doing our Dr. Pepper hand-slap routine and sharing the edible parts of a (spoiled alert) rotten head of cabbage," Ms. Smith-as-Tween read. "Toothpick Frank was futzing with his Pinterest page, and a couple other guys just lay there slowly dying."
If the last thing the world needs is another social media phenomenon with a book deal, at least Tween Hobo has literary aspirations, inspired as much by Dylan, Kerouac and Old Weird American imagery as it is by One Direction and Kanye. Take, for instance, a verse out of a chapter in her book entitled "Great American Poems," which mashes up Sylvia Plath and Twilight:
There's a stake in your fat black heart
And villagers never like you
If I can't have a vampire-theme bat mitzvah
Daddy, Daddy we're through.
Elsewhere the book compiles Tween Hobo tweets like "Gucci Gucci Louis Louis Fendi Fendi Burlap." Or: "What is your raison d'twetre?"
This stage of Ms. Smith's career comes from somewhat inauspicious beginnings. Her first tweet arrived in late 2011: "Sure as my bowl of mulligan stew I'll meet those Jonas brothers one fine day." This is both a confident start for the character and a reminder of how quickly dated everything becomes on the Internet. (The Jonas Brothers broke up in 2013, which our non-Tween readers can be forgiven for not being aware of.) She now has almost 14,000 Twitter followers, a fan base that most 12-year-olds would kill for. (By contrast, Ms. Smith's personal account only has 1,306.) In addition to the book, Ms. Smith is currently working on a Tween Hobo TV project, which may or may not be animated. Off the Rails is illustrated by Kate Harmer, a contributor to HelloGiggles. If you don't recognize that name, congratulations once again: you are probably not a tween.
In fact, Ms. Smith is the first to acknowledge her lightning luck at the hand of the zeitgeist. "I had been writing plays for 10 years," she told us in an interview before her event at BookCourt. "I had graduated from Yale Drama School six years before. I had plays produced in London and I was living in Brooklyn. Nothing was adding up. And then I started tweeting for one month, and [the actor and writer] BJ Novak started following me and talking about developing [Tween Hobo] into a show." The stars aligned after interest from Mr. Novak, The Office star who himself earned heavy literary credentials this year for his book of short stories, One More Thing. Ms. Smith soon found herself packing up and moving to Los Angeles. (Or as her alter ego might say: Manifest Destiny FTW.) On the same day in June 2012 that The Bad Guys was earning Ms. Smith her first New York Times review, she was on the other coast with Mr. Novak taking meetings about how best to market her Twitter persona. Not long after that, a Harvard poetry professor wrote in The Believer about how the account was the first literary use of Twitter. She appeared last month on Variety's top 10 list of "TV Scribes to Watch."
"As much as this book is Internet-y, it also references The Grapes of Wrath and On the Road," Ms. Smith said. "It's a novel, not just a collection of tweets." Ms. Smith's description of the book evokes her character trying to escape the "hyper-mediated, capitalistic world that she lives in and finds her way into some real space." While tweeting, of course. This is just the world we live in. It's not just that a nuanced playwright such as Ms. Smith can create without irony a successful Twitter account called Tween Hobo; she probably has to for the sake of her career, for a while at least.
"The success of Tween Hobo has been surprising, and I love it, but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life writing novelty Twitter books," said Ms. Smith. ν

Lectio Cinema – Interview with Rose Pacatte, FSP
By Homiletics Team | August 29, 2017
This interview was from the May-June 2006 Issue of Homiletics
Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP, is the director of the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Culver City, California. She has a M.Ed in Media Studies from the University of London. Her primary work is media literacy education for parents and teachers within the context of culture, education and faith formation. A great fan of the movies, she is the Film/TV columnist for St. Anthony Messenger Magazine (americancatholic.org). With Peter Malone, MSC, she is the co-author of the series Lights, Camera … Faith! A Movie Lover's Guide to Scripture.
She is a popular speaker at media conferences throughout the country. Some of her presentation titles include: Character Education and Media Literacy: One Calls for the Other; How to be a Media- Savvy Religion Teacher/Youth Minister in 10 East Steps; Globalization, Catholic Social Teaching & Hollywood: A Media Literacy Response; Media Saints: the Human Face of Technology; Healthy Families: How to use Television & Movies to Build Better Relationships.
In addition to her many responsibilities, Sr. Rose also writes the movie links for Homiletics.
We met with Sr. Rose in the chapel at the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Culver City in late January, only days after NBC had pulled the plug on The Book of Daniel.
HOMILETICS: Let's start with the Book of Daniel and its brief run on television. Our readers may need to be reminded of this show that got so much hype in January, and was shown once and cancelled before the second episode ran. What happened? Why did the network mavens really think they had a hit on their hands? Was there no one in the screening room to tell them that the show wasn't funny and was pretty awful?
PACATTE: Yeah, it was a flat-liner. I don't know what they were thinking. They got the externals right, they got the vestments right. They even did a nice, creative job with that stained glass that they used to fade out of every scene when they were cutting to a commercial.
What they failed to realize was that their theology was uninteresting. A very postmodern show, it was all about acceptance. But there wasn't anything that challenged us. Sure, Jesus sets us free, but if you really have a faith life, you're more engaged. It's not just about singing in the choir, or just dressing the part. There has to be some sort of interior struggle going on to make interesting television.
HOMILETICS: It was interesting to see that this so totally dysfunctional family that — one might think — could use the help of the parish priest for guidance, example and leadership is, in fact, the priest and his family! Contrast this family to the family in Seventh Heaven.
PACATTE: Seventh Heaven is a family show that found a young audience right away. Book of Daniel was trying to get the Desperate Housewives audience. They dumped all of Wisteria Lane inside that rectory. It wasn't going to work. There was no contrast. And then this whole thing about acceptance — accept the gay person, accept the drug-crazed daughter, the mafia and everyone — and that's fine because Jesus did open the doors let everyone in. But he didn't just sit around and drink tea. He challenged people to live a better life and to take the higher road. So dramatically it had a problem. There was no contrast. It flat-lined — early.
HOMILETICS: Television is fascinated with spirituality and Jesus. What are some of the better shows that deal with these subjects?
PACATTE: The West Wing is one, for me, and I'm sorry it's going off the air.
HOMILETICS: The West Wing?
PACATTE: Oh yes. For example, last year when Alan Alda's character (Sen. Vinick) was running for president, and he was talking with President Bartlet (Martin Sheen), and they're both Catholic. Vinick hadn't been to mass since his wife had died. And he and the president were talking about that, about their relationship with God and how the death of a spouse can affect that. I loved that little conversation they had.
More recently — this was about a social issue — C. J. was negotiating with the Chinese ambassador and she was willing to make some concessions so that they would agree to some sort of U.N. censorship of some other country and Iran's nuclear program, and the way she did it was to agree that they could buy arms from France and Germany, two of the major arms producing countries in the world. The Chinese guy looks at her afterward and says, "You know, democracy for Americans is about profit, not about conscience. You've taught us well." That's quite strong.
So I see spirituality in real life as an integrated whole, so that scene hit me on a spiritual level.
HOMILETICS: But what about shows like Revelations, and Angels in America, and Joan of Arcadia.
PACATTE: I loved Joan of Arcadia! It died from apathy. Preachers could've used this show every week. What great material was in there! It's true that the writing did fall off some the second year. But why wouldn't we support this? We gripe and complain about bad television — sex, violence, and so on. When something really good comes along, well, it's not good enough for us, and we don't watch it. What is that? We should've paid attention to Joan of Arcadia.
I was on an airplane. A lady was sitting next to me. Her husband had been a cop who was murdered in Anaheim a few years ago. We got to talking about Joan of Arcadia. Her father-in-law told her that he never missed that show. "For me, it's like going to church," he said. We had this lovely conversation. We held hands and prayed together. The show was an entry point to talk about spiritual things. It caught the imagination of people.
HOMILETICS: Now, there's nothing on television. Seventh Heaven is gone, Arcadia is gone.
PACATTE: I think they were trying to do something with The Book of Daniel but it missed the mark entirely. It wasn't interesting. It didn't engage us. We didn't care. As for Revelations, they dress it up as "Catholic." But they don't make the theology Catholic. Those nuns were heretics, or at least schismatics. They were not in obedience to the pope. For Catholics, that's going to turn them off immediately. If they're going to be nuns, be nuns! Don't be some sect. I got bored with that after two or three episodes. Once again, the end times has a limited amount of interest, and Tim LaHaye has the corner on that anyhow. Don't get me going on him.
HOMILETICS: No, no! Let's go to the movies! Movies have become the new canon in the annals of cultural literacy. Like, can a person be considered an educated person if he or she hasn't seen Citizen Kane, for example? My kids don't have books on the shelves, they have DVDs. Movies are the new canon. My kids can cite chapter and verse, or scene and dialogue.
PACATTE: Sure, I think we like movies. Movies tell stories. Movies are where we go to figure out things. I was at a theater not long ago, and was leaving a showing of The Missing. There weren't too many people, and as I was leaving, I stumbled and this lady sort of jumped up to help me, and then I asked her, "Did you like it?"
She said, "Well I majored in Indian studies. I come from North Dakota, and I think the Indians got short-shifted." So we stood together and watched the credits. And then she said, "Why are you so interested?" I dress down when I go to the movies. I don't wear my habit — less distracting for everybody. I said, "I'm a Catholic sister and I write for a Catholic magazine and I'm here to review the film." Then I asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came here today to figure out my life. This is the third movie I've seen today. Me and my friend — whenever we need to figure out our lives, we go to the movies." She had a bag with her, and in it she had The Five People You Meet in Heaven, a journal and another self-help book. She said, "I think my boyfriend is going to propose to me, and I don't know if I'm ready. I'm a health-care professional, he's a doctor, but I just needed today to sort things out."
I said, "You need a retreat, some spiritual direction. What about going to church on Sunday."
She said, "I really don't get a lot out of church. My boyfriend is Catholic and he goes to mass, but I get more out of movies." So I invited her for a cup of coffee at Starbucks and we sat there and talked for an hour about spirituality and all these issues.
A lot of people use the theater as church, and they go there to think about their lives. I did a survey on the Internet not long ago and I asked people, "Do you think about God when you go to the movies?" One lady said, "What a stupid question! Of course not!" Another lady: "I always do. You're the first person who's asked me. I always do."
HOMILETICS: When The Passion of the Christ was released, it was panned by the critics, but the public reaction was quite different. There's this huge disconnect. What happened?
PACATTE: I'll tell you what happened in my community. People saw this as the real thing — stayed close to the gospel narrative. There was a sense that it told the story the way "it really was." To see the gospel come to life was very important to them.
I reviewed the movie as a horror film and the nuns of my community were horrified. I said, "Folks, this is not a papal document. It's a movie." It's someone's interpretation of the gospel. It's a horror film in the best sense of the word — it matches the genre perfectly. The critics never like anything religious. They're afraid of being caught showing sympathy to religion because traditionally they don't want to be taught, they don't like being preached at.
HOMILETICS: Yet, no Jesus movie will satisfy everyone.
PACATTE: No. I was interviewed for a documentary that's coming out in England for Easter. It was all about Jesus movies. They asked me, "Which Jesus do you think of when you think of Jesus." And I had to admit, it was Robert Powell, the guy who played Jesus in Jesus of Nazareth. A blue-eyed Jesus. He's the one who comes to mind. Jim Caviezel? No, he's not the one who comes to mind.
HOMILETICS: William DaFoe?
PACATTE: No, not for me, and certainly not Jeffery Hunter. But just in general, I've found that people would rather have movies about Jesus figures than movies about Jesus.
HOMILETICS: For example?
PACATTE: Erin Brockovich. Her life, even though it's flawed, suggests, very strongly, a "good shepherd" figure. The Insider. Norma Rae. These are Christ figures. People who resist dominance, they speak up for freedom and the rights of people. And in so doing, they're showing love, putting themselves in danger.
Jesus himself used parables. He took us the long way around. We enjoy that, we like to figure things out, and stories captivate us. We're people of the story. So you'll get your devotional Jesus movies and they will do more or less well. Sometimes spectacularly well. It's going to take a while to figure out why The Passion of the Christ did so well. I certainly was not comfortable with that extreme violence. Younger people didn't have a problem, and it could be that they've grown up with media that's been more violent; something that I've had to grow into, they've grown up with.
HOMILETICS: In an article for the Journal of Religion and Film, Jeffrey Mahan cites W. Barnes Tatum, who says that our reaction to the portrayals of Jesus in film often depends on the religious or sectarian lens through which we're viewing them. Mainline Protestants tend to evaluate Jesus in the movies on the basis of social relevance and the humanity of Jesus. Evangelicals focus on fidelity to the biblical text and the divinity of Jesus. Catholics are more open to portrayals of Jesus, perhaps because they're more comfortable with religious images, and the Jewish response is always concerned about anti-Semitism and the question of responsibility for Jesus' death.
PACATTE: I think that's a fair assessment. A Catholic response might involve not only the imagery, but we're also interested in fidelity to the Scriptures. That is there, very strongly. So when you get The Last Temptation of Christ, even though it was made by Scorsese as an homage to his Catholic upbringing, Catholics had a fit. It took so many liberties. Whereas with The Passion, Catholics and Evangelicals embraced it, while mainstream Protestants were quite cool to it.
When it comes to portrayals of Jesus, most Catholics like a suggested Jesus figure rather than a movie about Jesus. Take Ben Hur, for example, where Jesus was in there, but we never saw his face; therefore we weren't required to spend time analyzing whether the movie really follows the gospel narrative.
HOMILETICS: That was true of a number of those "sword and sandal" movies of the '50s.
PACATTE: The Robe, The Silver Chalice. Yes, they were movies about Jesus. And I think people like them more than King of Kings and certainly The Gospel According to St. Matthew by Pasolini didn't have a huge following, but that's one of your canon movies — if you have seen it, you know, well …
HOMILETICS: As a pastor, how do I recover or capture stuff that I see in movies, or do I wait for the DVD and take notes then?
PACATTE: When I go to the movies, I always take a pad of paper, and when I get home I write about it.
As for the scene, you don't have to look for it, it will look for you. That's a part of cinema divina. Think about it. In the lectio divina, we wait for the biblical text to call out to us. It's not a Scripture study. It's a reading and contemplation of the Scriptures where all of a sudden something will speak to us. I think that happens in movies. We are already people of faith, we have this lens on anyway, because that's how we see all of life. When something happens, it's going to speak to us.
I went to see The End of the Spear. There's one part in there where the young lady who had left the tribe, comes back later and tells them the whole Jesus story, how the name of their god came to earth and left markings in the trees like "our father did" and "we follow the markings and it will cross over the boa" — I guess the big snake at the end of life. I said, "I am going to get that DVD and use that clip because that's about language and communicating in a language that people can understand.
HOMILETICS: Pastors are only now beginning to realize what a huge source of illustrative material exists in movies, perhaps because only recently do we have the visual means to show these stories or clips.
PACATTE: There's an exploding sub-genre in Christian publishing about film. Ed McNulty works with visual parables. Robert Jewett who did St. Paul Goes to the Movies, and St. Paul Returns to the Movies. If people are at a place that they can acknowledge that there are good things in the culture, that's a good thing. Jesus came into the culture to transform and redeem it, not condemn. So if you're in a mode that you can see the positive in the culture and see the seeds of the gospel that are there, then all of a sudden our position and relation to the text changes. We're open to whatever speaks to us. These are modern parables. Some people have called movies a sort of modern stained-glass window.
HOMILETICS: How could pastors promote a movie study night, or even Bible study?
PACATTE: First, the pastor has to understand that this is where young people are. They go to the movies. This is what they do. So we can use movies as a "place" of dialogue, a table as it were. There we share our insights and values and respect for each other, and respect for everyone's interpretation, because there's no one way to interpret a film. Everyone's interpretation is valid because everyone comes to that table with different experiences, different levels of education, moral and spiritual development.
Dead Poets Society. Great film, but you have to remember that you have a kid committing suicide, so with what group do you really want to study this film? But we have to look at things like this. We condemn Hollywood for being a dream factory, but we live in a dream. We don't want to talk about the dark sides of life, or when we have to go into the depths of our spiritual life. We fall into sin and error. But, of course, there is redemption.
HOMILETICS: But what about the logistics? Is this a club? Do you go out to the movies and come back and talk? Do you rent a DVD and gather around the TV, watch and talk?
PACATTE: All of the above. You hit just about all of them, except you could use clips instead of showing the whole film. You go through the film and select certain scenes that hit the high points.
HOMILETICS: Which could work, especially if the movie was popular and most people had seen it anyway.
PACATTE: Absolutely. Here's one format — what we do. We have the Scripture readings for Sunday. We read the Scriptures. We light a candle. We have the word of God present. Then we see the film. No intro. No one wants to know the story ahead of time. Don't tell them the story! Afterward, we break for refreshments. Then we gather together. Ahead of time we've given out pieces of paper with sentences from one of the readings, and maybe one of the things that are dominant in the film. Doing this gives even the most timid a way "in." They see something and then they have something to share. Everyone really wants to talk about a movie. At some level, we see something — we want to talk about it.
Doing this also requires people to focus on the film and to make a connection, whereas if they were on their own they might not. Another thing to do is to give them a character in a film, and put that character together with a gospel quote, and then the conversation goes on for about 45 minutes. But you see the entire film, from front to back, including the credits. The thing really isn't over until the last credit rolls. You have to let a film conclude itself.
The film should be well chosen. If you have a very sensitive congregation — or you think you do — you should start with films that work very obviously. Then once the trust has been established you can move into something that's a little more difficult.
The clip format. I know a priest in Pasadena. They have soup and bread, and see about an hour's worth of clips and then they have a conversation afterward.
Another way is to go as a group and then come back to meet in a coffee shop or somewhere people could talk together. Any one who is a good group leader would be able to figure out how to use a movie effectively.
The big hurdle in some churches is: "Should we?" I know of one church where the only place where a movie could be seen in the building was the sanctuary. Some members really objected to the movie being in the sanctuary itself, whereas it would have been okay in a classroom, or the fellowship hall. When I heard that, I just wanted to say, "We're meeting with the word of God. Jesus is in our midst no matter what. We're doing a holy thing. Why do you feel that you need to protect Jesus? He suffered, died and rose again. How can you worry about taking a movie with human problems and connecting it with the Scriptures?"
I mean, there are seeds of the gospel in all of life because God is present to us here on earth. God cares. The stories are the products of human genius and productivity. Those are God's gifts. Somewhere in the products of what human beings do, there's some transcendence there. That could be simply doing a good deed for someone.
Like in Shrek, when the donkey gets mad at Shrek and Shrek won't apologize, but he finally does, and the donkey says, "That's what friends do, they say they're sorry."
So the movies offer so much of a chance to make the world a better place, and to develop personally and as a community. Let's mine the movies. Let's take advantage of them. If preachers went to the movies, they'd be better preachers.
HOMILETICS: In some circles years ago, going to movies or to a movie theater was a bad thing, a sin.
PACATTE: True, but movies got better. For years there just weren't very good movies. So they got to be better stories. More engaging visually. Theaters began to have more than one screen, and more and more movies were produced, and people began to see movies as a destination — something to do with someone else. People rarely see the movies alone.
HOMILETICS: Favorite movie of 2005?
PACATTE: Crash. Or The Constant Gardener. Crash is one of the most theological movies to come out in a long time. It took place against the backdrop of nativity scenes at Christmas time. Even when the little girl runs out to save her father with the magic cloak, she runs right by the nativity set. It was asking through the whole movie: "Is redemption possible? Did Jesus' coming even mean anything to us as a human community?" I thought that movie was about communication, not about racism. It worked for me on many levels.
HOMILETICS: Favorite movie of all time?
PACATTE: Very hard question to answer. At the top of my list is The Searchers, a 1956 John Ford film, with John Wayne. Worth seeing. I saw it when I was a kid. It's about an Indian raid on these Texas pioneer families — one of Ford's themes — and this man goes searching for his niece, not to get her back, but to kill her, because she's probably married an Indian and now she's dirty. It's a fascinating character study, a mystery story. The Sound of Music is still a favorite. Trouble With Angels, and The Song of Bernadette. Those were movies that influenced me.
HOMILETICS: How did you get interested in movies?
PACATTE: We had to go get discarded Coke bottles and turn them in for 3 cents each to collect the money to go to the movies. We had to go to the drive-in because it was cheaper. We were a large family, so if we wanted to go to the movies, my mom said, "You've got to get the money," so we did. I guess I've always liked the movies, but when I entered the convent, we didn't watch too many movies for a long time. But when the VCR came along, then all of a sudden our thinking changed, and also our approach to culture changed, even though our mission is in communication.
But our mission isn't just preaching the word, it's also reflecting on the culture, and critically engaging the culture, and it was the rise in our awareness of that corporately that I think led me to wonder, "How do I get a master's degree in this?" So I did. I went to England and got a master's in education and media studies. Came back, and proposed to my community that I do this full time. I was commenting on movies because I was invited to be a part of a program Fuller was sponsoring. So I started paying more attention to movies and watching more movies, and then St. Anthony's Messenger called and asked me to review movies full time. I've had a long interest in visual media.
HOMILETICS: You have a series of books called Lights, Camera, Faith! And they're based on the lectionary cycles. What do you do in those books?
PACATTE: We, Fr. Peter Malone and I, take a major motion picture and we put it in dialogue with the gospels.
HOMILETICS: How many lectionary texts for each Sunday?
PACATTE: The first year we did only the gospels. The second year we started bringing in the first and second readings as they applied. Sometimes they aren't too much in sync. That second reading sort of stands out there. We started integrating them more in the second and third cycles.
HOMILETICS: Now you have a book that just came out [March 1] that focuses on the Ten Commandments.
PACATTE: That's right. We used the same format for Lights, Camera, Faith!: The Ten Commandments. We took three Scripture readings: an Old Testament, New Testament and gospel text. What was nice about it was that we were free to take a film that spoke to that commandment, and then find the Scripture text that went well with it. We do a synopsis of the film, then we do a professional commentary of the film, and then there's a focus that ties the film and the Scriptures together in one or two sentences, followed by key scenes and sequences that people can use as a basis for questions. Then there are three developed questions for conversations. We end with a prayer.
HOMILETICS: Is there an index in the lectionary-based series, so that no matter what lectionary you use, you can find the reference you're looking for.
PACATTE: Yes, there are several tables in the back. For example, we have the MPA ratings, we have the ratings from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which, by the way, is great Web site: usccb.org.
HOMILETICS: Some other cool Web sites to visit for analysis or information?
PACATTE: The Internet Movie Database, imdb.org. Lots of information. HollywoodJesus.com is a wonderful resource. RealSpirituality.com from Fuller. They have study guides. Now HollywoodJesus.com is going to have study guides, too.
HOMILETICS: What movies are you looking forward to seeing in 2006?
PACATTE: The Da Vinci Code. It's going to make people talk. That's what the book did. They want to talk about Jesus. They want to talk about questions. There is so much in it. What are the implications of what this book proposes, this giant conspiracy theory about Jesus getting married? And what if he did marry, would it make any difference?
HOMILETICS: No others?
PACATTE: Okay. Pirates of the Caribbean.

Q: Is there any way to use xtermjs parsersers in Python directly without frontend rendering? I want to handle ansi characters of python pty with xtermjs.
As I know there is no ansi parser better than xtermjs, xtermjs can handle interactive programs like nano and htop but others can't.
so how can I parse and handle ansi charachters with xtermjs in python ?
Currently I have a hacky solution but its slow and needs run java script:
I make a HTML(contains code of xtermjs) with python, something like this :
const term = new Terminal({
    convertEol:true,
});
term.open(document.getElementById("terminal"));

term.write(`[?2004h[?1049h[22;0;0t[1;24r(B[m[4l[?7h[39;49m[?1h=[?1h=[?25l[39;49m(B[m[H[2J[22;35H(B[0;7m[ New File ](B[m[H(B[0;7m  GNU nano 4.8                         a1.txt                                   [1;79H(B[m
    [23d(B[0;7m^G(B[m Get Help  (B[0;7m^O(B[m Write Out (B[0;7m^W(B[m Where Is  (B[0;7m^K(B[m Cut Text  (B[0;7m^J(B[m Justify   (B[0;7m^C(B[m Cur Pos
    [24d(B[0;7m^X(B[m Exit[14G(B[0;7m^R(B[m Read File (B[0;7m^\(B[m Replace   (B[0;7m^U(B[m Paste Text(B[0;7m^T(B[m To Spell  (B[0;7m^_(B[m Go To Line
    [22d[2d[39;49m(B[m[?12l[?25h`)

term.selectAll()
parsed = term.getSelection()
console.debug(parsed)

Then in Python I run this file and capture console logs with selenium!
In this way I can get a pretty output of that ugly string passed to term.write()
P.S : I can't use socket for communication.
I appreciate for a better and faster solution.

Q: Google Cloud Endpoints - Do I have to use Extensible Service Proxy (ESP) So, I've followed through the tutorial to get a basic end point working and it tells me I have to use ESP which is a Google thing based around Nginx.
Do I have to use this? What if I were to run my own web server/reverse proxy?
Would it work? I can't find anything anywhere about this.

A: To take advantage of Endpoints API Management on GKE/GCE/GAE Flexible environment, the short answer is yes. For App Engine Standard, you can't use ESP and instead have to use the Endpoints Frameworks.

"With mutual consensus of all stakeholders, we acted for bringing peace in Karachi and by the grace of Almighty, law and order situation has substantially improved", the prime minister said.
