Patrick James Woodroffe est un artiste anglais.

Biographie

Il est né dans le Yorkshire de l'Ouest en 1940, il est le fils d'un ingénieur électricien.

En 1964, il obtient son diplôme en français et en allemand à l'université de Leeds. Il présente sa première exposition de dessins à la plume et à l'encre à l'Institut d'art contemporain de Londres. Il devient artiste professionnel en 1972.

Sa carrière prend son envol quand il peint 90 peintures pour la couverture de livres entre 1973 et 1976 pour Corgi. Au cours de cette première période, il est chargé de dessiner les pochettes d'album de disque de Sad Wings of Destiny de Judas Priest. Cette exposition a été suivie d'une exposition de peintures en 1976. En 1978, il a monté une exposition de plus de deux cents œuvres à la Piece Hall historique à Halifax. En 1979, il a créé des illustrations pour le Pentateuque de la Cosmogonie : la naissance et la mort d'un monde. Le Pentateuque prétend être les cinq premiers chapitres d'un livre étranger de la Genèse. L'album comprenait deux disques de Greenslade et un livre de 47 pages d'illustrations de Woodroffe.

Au cours des années 1990 et 2000, il continue à travailler sur de nombreux autres projets, y compris une sculpture au château de Gruyères en Suisse, sur la base de son précédent tableau The Vicious Circle (1979). Le projet est conçu pour montrer la guerre comme un cercle fermé de futilité absurde, autodestructrice. Il a continué à tenir des expositions, son dernier travail comprend une exposition récente en Suisse.

The Final Nail In The A.B.L.E. Coffin
FOUR DECADES OF PUBLIC SAFETY SUPPORT IS GONE
The Daily Pilot reports last night, HERE, that the final nail has been hammered into the coffin of the AirBorne Law Enforcement (A.B.L.E.) joint helicopter effort between Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. After more than forty years - when then-police chief Roger Neth had the wisdom and foresight to launch the original Costa Mesa helicopter program - through the establishment of the A.B.L.E. program in 1997, the city has had a helicopter unit protecting the residents since 1971. Now the assets have been disbursed, the staff scattered to the winds and the program that was once the model municipal helicopter law enforcement program in the country - the one others emulated - is officially no more.
A FABRICATED CRISIS
It's been nearly two years since a short-sighted Costa Mesa City Council, citing a fabricated fiscal crisis, unilaterally decided to shut down this exemplary program. I wrote about it at the time, HERE and HERE, and a year later HERE.
THE SPIRIT LIVES
A.B.L.E is gone, but its spirit lives on in the form of the brave, skilled men who once flew the skies of the Newport-Mesa and beyond to keep us safe. That spirit was clearly on display last week when several former members of A.B.L.E volunteered to fly Newport Beach resident Peter Adderton's donated private helicopter in support of the massive search effort for two lost Costa Mesa hikers in Trabuco Canyon.
RIGHEIMER IS RESPONSIBLE
As stated in the Daily Pilot article, it may be impossible to accurately quantify the contribution to our safety A.B.L.E produced, but EVERY law enforcement leader in the state joins us in mourning its loss to the communities it served. With crime up in Costa Mesa more than 15%, you can lay the loss of that program - a "force multiplier" in law enforcement parlance - directly at the feet of vindictive now-Mayor Jim Righeimer, who allowed his personal political ambitions and his vendetta against members of the Costa Mesa Police Department to cloud his judgment and lead the charge to disband A.B.L.E as part of a broader evisceration of the Costa Mesa Police Department. As crime continues to rise in our city, please feel free to contact him directly and let him know how you feel.
MARIAH SAYS IT BEST...
Finally, let me ask Mariah Carey to, once again, express how I feel about those brave flyers and the crews that kept A.B.L.E. in the air all those years. To those brave souls who patrolled our skies, aided in the capture of criminals, fought fires and rescued individuals, thank you all for your service to this community. Miss Carey...

safety at a lower cost said...
All I know is that if Geoff West is angry about something then it must be good for our city. When some get old they start to fear the bogyman and all they care about is their safety at any cost. West doesn't work so he didn't care if that gettobird flew over his house at 2 am on a work night. We get great public safety coverage at a much lower cost now that the decision has been made. West blames Costa Mesa but never Newport Beach who will tell you that they support the decision. But that disrupts the angry West rant against anything council.
The Pot Stirrer said...
Actually, the folks in Newport Beach had NO choice. Once the Costa Mesa City Council made its decision to abandon A.B.L.E. they could only go along with it - and put on a smiley face.
In law enforcement, as in life in general, you get what you pay for. That's the case in our post-A.B.L.E. world.
And, yes, I'm angry about it. The A.B.L.E. choppers were much, much quieter than the Huntington Beach choppers. If I heard them late at night - which was rarely - I knew they were on the job, keeping me safe.
I appreciate the job the H.B. guys do for us, but they're teetering on the brink, too.
It's not completely gone.
The equipment that they used may have been sold off but the most valuable part of ABLE, what really made it work, is still here.
The people with the knowledge, dedication and training to manage and fly what was, and actually still is, the one of the most skilled airborne law enforcement agencies in the country are still here.
Ultimately that will be gone too and THAT will be the final nail.
gangland boogyman said...
Yea 'lower cost'... those pesky paramedic and PD sirans in the night are a bother too.
The problem with people like you is you don't have a clue about what is going on out there when you're in bed on a work night. If you did, you'ld pull the covers over your head.
Keep telling yourself that what you're getting is great and when you here someone at your back door, just pull those covers up.
Actually, for all practical purposes, it is "completely gone". The mechanics have new jobs, the command staff members are back in patrol cars, as are some of the pilots. The remaining pilots are working elsewhere. It's like a bicycle that has been disassembled and the parts scattered around the neighborhood. Technically, it's still there, but the pieces would need to be retrieved and re-assembled for it to be a bicycle again. There is no political will in Costa Mesa to do that.
Yes, some of those pilots still fly, keeping their hours and skills up, but when the meeting ended yesterday A.B.L.E. was gone - poof! A sad day...
Geoff, I agree that the "political will" around here is what caused the disbanding of ABLE in the first place and that isn't likely to change any time in the near future.
But, if for some yet to be known reason it did, the ABLE equipment is just that... equipment. Actually just like patrol cars or the rest of the stuff that the PD uses. It can be replaced. It's just a matter of going out and buying another bicycle.
The part that would be impossible to replace is the people who made it all work.
A police office going from a patrol car into EAGLE was a huge task, years in the making.
First becomming a skilled TFO (Observer) and then the Comercial/IFR helicopter flight ratings before stepping up to the advanced jet engine type that is normally used in this kind of work. Factor in that some of ABLEs pilots were certified flight instructors and also night vision certified instructors, who could bring a new pilot up to the highest skill level without needing to go outside of ABLE to do it. How do you replace that?
The point being... if the political will were to change, some of these people are still around and with a new bicycle, ABLE could ride again.
A student of history will tell you that sometimes unforseen events can change the direction of things.
Do I think that's going to happen? Actually, I hope not because it would have to be a disaster of some kind, but if it did, the irreplacable part of ABLE is not gone yet. Unfortunately... the political idiolog who is responsible isn't either.
I don't disagree with you. We could go out and buy more helicopters tomorrow. You're correct - the difficult part is finding and training the officer/pilot/observers to do the job. I know just a little bit about the time it takes to learn to fly helicopters - I did that in an earlier part of my life.
When the original helicopter program was created it took a special "will" of the city council at the time - a kind of forward-thinking that is not evident on the current council.
History Channel said...
Wasn't it previously established that the disbanding of ABLE was political payback from Napoleon Righeimer?
Shot down from behind said...
I don't know that you can say it was "established".
It was pretty obvious that he came in with a hatred of the PD (they did try to keep him out because they knew what he was all about).
Pulling the plug on ABLE was just a slap in the face and clear signal to the PD of what was to come.
What was most disgusting to me was Newports backing away when there were things they could have done to keep it up.
NBPDs new chief stated that it was very important to keep that service.
I guess he decided it was more important to do what the politicians wanted and keep his job.
They after all had just spent way over a hundred mill on their new city hall/council throne room and needed that money for landscaping.
just wondering... said...
Shot down, yes. And placing the residents and their safety directly in the middle without a second thought to their safety.

Carter Hulsey and American Opera Rock Ankeny, Iowa!
This past Friday, Carter Hulsey with special guest American Opera both play a rather unique set at The Whiskey House Bar and Grill in Ankeny, Iowa. First of all, the show was free, secondly the show was in a restaurant atmosphere. As a rocker, it has truly been a long time since I have seen a dinner show. A person can get steak while enjoying some music.
Carter Hulsey and American Opera swapped songs, shared the stage, and exchanged some unique stories on the meanings behind the songs that they penned. During the sets, you can feel the mutual admiration for one another as they would perform their songs. They both have contrasting styles in their music, as American Opera is more of the crowd that listens to Alison Weiss or This Wild Life, acoustic singer/songwriter music with a punk twist. Forthcoming, you will get to see an interview with American Opera in regards to their upcoming record entitled "Small Victories". I am looking forward to that record.
Carter Hulsey has a contrasting style from American Opera in the sense that his style has more of a folk/country-rock twist to it. It is easy to see why Carter Hulsey has been involved in as many showcases as he has been involved in and including an NPR performance that is becoming a viral hit on YouTube.

Unleash Them: "Built In Good Value" by Damiano Christian, the definition of a prodigy!
"Veracity" by Backwordz, not for the slumbering!


The cycle of idealize, devalue and discard is a pattern of behavior common in the Narcissistic personality disorders. A narcissist begins by idealizing the new interest in their life They focus all of their attention on acquiring this new desire. After they've achieved their goal, they become bored because the chase is over, there is no more challenge and the narcissist blames the object of their desire for their boredom. They devalue it. Then they abandon it, discarded as worthless, a broken toy.
The object of desire is not always a person, it can be literally a toy or any other objective he desires. Narcissists only feel alive when they are in pursuit. But the most fun a narcissist has is the pursuit of another person's being. This is because the desire is driven by envy, they want to become the rival and force the rival to become like them, and feel what they feel. They know the rival would resist if she knew. This adds another dimension to the game; the rival must not suspect the reason why she is being pursued. She must be duped. Idealizing her is how the narcissist does this.
Initially, the narcissist will put the object of their desire on a pedestal Sometimes they will tell their intended victim, "I WILL PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL." Some psychopaths will admit, "Before I destroy someone I like to take them up really high, so they have further to fall." They are convinced that this is a clever ploy that only they've thought of. In either case, this is your cue to Gray Rock. If you run, they will only chase you.
If the victim acquiesces to being idealized, the process of devaluation begins. The narcissist will use various tactics to get their victim to allow them to cross their boundaries. One tactic is to mirror her and then alternately convince her to mirror them. This blurs the identities of the narcissist and the victim.
Once the victim has been assimilated into the narcissist, she is presented another mirror, one which depicts her as a powerless and shameful being, weak, a reject. This is actually a portrait of the narcissist but because their identities were blurred, she assumes responsibility for the shame she is presented with. She becomes the scapegoat for the narcissist, bearing their shame, she is discarded as being too disgusting. Then the idealize, devalue and discard cycle is complete.
If the victim manages to clean the shame off, pick herself up and resuscitate her life, the narcissist will reappear and ask her to lunch. He plans to begin the idealize, devalue and discard cycle anew.


The project will directly provide high level training to students with emphasis on school drop-outs from vulnerable Syrian refugee and the host communities in five different technical vocational fields.
Improve self-reliance and livelihoods of vulnerable Syrian and African refugees and vulnerable host population in Egypt.
This will be done through the provision of training to women, men and youth in 6th of October, which will help to limit reliance on humanitarian aid, offer them more sustainable sources of income and promote positive coping mechanisms thus enabling them to feel that life is returning to normalcy.
The facility will focus its Technical Vocational Training (TVT) Program on "Home Renovation" which includes carpentry, plumbing, electricity, tiling, painting and plastering.
The program consists of a series of courses for tackling home projects. Each course is hands-on and course content that covers correct building techniques used by tradespeople necessary to meet the job demand.
Students will discover how to complete specific home renewal tasks and how to apply these new techniques and skills to their own projects. Proper safety standards necessary to complete each project will be emphasized.
A special carpentry course will be introduced as a pilot workshop and to facilitate training for women with children, a child friendly space will be established to enable mothers attend trainings while their children are being looked after by the centre's child facilitators providing them with different activities.

Biden's recent wins could give Democrats a boost heading into the midterms
Published August 12, 2022 at 3:00 AM MDT
The Washington Post via Getty Im
President Joe Biden signs into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 on the South Lawn of the White House on Aug. 9, 2022.
Updated August 12, 2022 at 5:50 PM ET
For the better part of a year, Democratic divisions have been a dominant storyline.
Moderates and progressives couldn't come up with a deal on President Joe Biden's legislative agenda, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin was the poster child for progressive anger and Biden was struggling with the base and suffering politically because of it.
But that picture has started to change. The House passed a significant piece of legislation Friday and sent it to Biden to sign into law. The Senate, with the help of Manchin, passed it over the weekend. It marks a few weeks of legislative successes for Democrats, as the primary season starts to turn to general elections for these midterms.
What does this latest bill do?
nearly $370 billion for climate and energy priorities
provisions allowing the health secretary to negotiate the cost of the prices of certain drugs covered under Medicare and sets a cap on out-of-pocket Medicare costs of $2,000 a year
a 3-year Affordable Care Act subsidies extension
$5 billion in drought funding
a 15% minimum tax on corporations making $1 billion or more and
a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks
The legislation, while less than Biden originally proposed or progressives wanted, is a big win for the White House and the party.
"Teddy Roosevelt got his Square Deal, FDR got his New Deal, Truman got the Fair Deal. I'd call this Biden's good deal," said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist and former leadership aide to the late Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid. "This is a good deal for President Biden and for Democrats. And it's something that they can talk about over the next few weeks."
The bill is 'something to run on'
One piece of legislation won't solve all of Democrats' (or Biden's) problems. They still face the headwinds of a president's first midterm, Biden's unpopularity, inflation that's at a four-decade high and gas prices, though they have come down of late, are still higher than most struggling to pay bills would like.
The bill is even named the Inflation Reduction Act. Though the legislation's effect on inflation may be negligible, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it's a clear sign that Democrats see the threat of what Americans are saying is their top concern.
But Democratic strategists say it's a start.
"It gives you something to run on," said Jon Kott, a former senior adviser to Manchin.
He noted that Democrats' inability to pass legislation at the end of last year made it harder for the party to mount a strong message in the campaign for Virginia governor, for example.
"You want to run on your record when you're in office," Kott said, "and you want to go there and say, 'I did this. I helped you get this. I made your life better through this piece of legislation.' "
It also adds to the momentum Democrats have been building for the last few months, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducts polling for NPR.
"If you start connecting all the dots," he said, "everything is going the Democrats' way at this point, given that not too long ago, nothing was going their way."
In addition to passing the most recent legislation, Miringoff pointed to the Jan. 6 committee hearings that have dented former President Donald Trump with his base and that there's been a marked jump in Democratic enthusiasm after the Supreme Court's conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade.
The midterm landscape has changed
The intensity around the issue of abortion led to the major victory for abortion-rights supporters on a ballot measure in Kansas last week. It is raising eyebrows for Republicans and is giving Democrats hope that they can stem what could have been a red wave in the House – and potentially hold the Senate.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the group tasked with trying to help Democratic candidates win House seats, says its data show the Supreme Court's opinion overturning Roe and tying it to Republicans has proven to be the "top testing negative" attack in competitive districts.
The DCCC has also launched multimillion-dollar ad campaigns to try and mobilize voters around the issue.
Strategists still expect Republicans to win control of the House, given gerrymandering, historic precedent and the narrow five-seat majority Democrats are clinging to. But keeping the margins down is hugely important for any party to live to fight another cycle.
What's more, Democratic candidates are outpacing Biden's approval rating in the generic congressional ballot test, a question that asks if voters could cast a ballot today, would they vote for a generic Republican or Democrat.
The more favorable landscape to Democrats – and some hard-right Republicans running in a handful of key states – may wind up having the most notable effect in Senate races. Democratic candidates are holding up well in states that are expected to be close, according to public and private surveys, as well as reporting with campaigns.
Evan Vucci / AP
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi listen as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks before Biden signs the CHIPS bill on Aug. 9, 2022.
"Democrats seem to be in far better shape than they ever could have imagined possible," Miringoff said. "It doesn't mean they're going to rack up big victories, but if they hold where they are right now and win a seat or two in the Senate, they would have easily bargained for that six months ago."
To get over the finish line, Democrats need their base to be fully on board
But to get over the finish line, Democrats need their base to be fully on board. Many progressives had been deeply disappointed with Biden for not fighting more boldly and not delivering on campaign promises, like major climate initiatives and student loans.
Whether the left interprets this latest piece of legislation as a major victory and goes to the polls could be the difference between Democrats mitigating damage in the House and holding the Senate – or not.
"You have to take yes for an answer sometimes," Kott said. "And I don't think either side gets everything they want. But I think if you get 70% of what you want, that's pretty good. And you should be happy with that."
This summer has found Biden handed a string of bipartisan legislative victories, from addressing gun violence, billions for incentivizing the semiconductor production in the U.S. and, now, this current legislation.
Each of those victories came, ironically, with Biden, the former longtime senator, being what Payne called a "bystander president."
"The reason why the bystander approach worked in these last few weeks is because the other players stepped up," Payne said.
When a president isn't involved and things don't get done, though, he said, it can be "very frustrating to parts of your coalition." That's why it's critical, Payne said, to "get the politics of it right." And that means a president and White House doing a good job telling the story of what it has accomplished.
"I think that's something that maybe the president and his team and his allies have struggled with," Payne said. "And I think what you're hoping now is that there's a more complete story to tell, that that is now something that can land better with members of his coalition."

First thing in the morning I walked to Pike Place Market. I have a long history of eating my way through farmer's and public markets. I wasn't going to miss out on another opportunity. I arrived just as flower sellers, artisans, and other vendors were setting up for the day.
A half dozen at Daily Dozen equals eight by the way. That was a nice surprise. The doughnuts were divine and disappeared down my gullet in record time. They give them to you in a brown paper bag that just adds to the whole idea that you are indulging in something completely sinful. They are diabolically delicious!
Yes, bacon makes everything better. Maple bacon donuts.
These guys great you when you add milk or cream to your coffee.
I wandered some more. Photographed things and people. Sampled cheese curds and seasonal apples. And then I entered Piroshky Piroshky! I had a potato, mushroom, onion, and dill piroshky. This was a pillow of light, buttery, doughy heaven.
I dream of eating more of these.
The sun came out again around noon.
I wandered my way down to Pioneer Square. This is the oldest section of Seattle. I got a ticket for Bill Speidel's Underground Tour. This tour takes you down below the streets to where the original Seattle was built in the late 1800's, when the city was the final stop for outfitting adventurers seeking gold in Alaska, as well as a huge center for logging operations. This tour was a lot of fun and provided a ton of information about the history of Seattle. Seattle was built in a tidal zone. This soon became a huge problem as the area flooded regularly... as in with every tide. And it especially caused issues with plumbing and the installation of the first sewer system. Let's just say exploding toilets are not a myth. Many of the original wooden buildings of Seattle burned in 1889. People began rebuilding in stone soon after but then city officials decided to raise the streets 15 feet above the tidal zone. So for a time buildings were built with entryways on their second floors in preparation for this. So, using land from the surrounding cliffs, the roads were raised but not the sidewalks. At least not at first. One would have to cross the street using ladders. Then finally the old sidewalks were covered over creating a whole underground system of passageways in Pioneer Square. Today you can get a glimpse of this hidden world.
Any tour that begins in an alley filled with garbage has to be good right?
Possibly one of the problematic toilets.
As you wander Pioneer Square you will see these beautiful purple inlays in the sidewalk. What are they?
Those purple inlays are actually the light source for the original sidewalks that became underground passageways when the streets where raised 15 feet.
After emerging from the depths of 1880s Seattle I walked back up to Pike Place. I bought two flavors of yogurt at Ellono's Greek Yogurt. I got rhubarb and peach. This yogurt is dairy fat heaven. Then I picked up some barbecue to go from Pike's Pit Barb-B-Cue.
I walked/slogged up an incredibly steep hill in search of the monorail (also built for the 1962 World's Fair). I stumbled upon a Standing with Standing Rock/No DAPL rally. This was fantastic. I have been a supporter of this protest for months. Some of the speakers had just got back from canoeing to North Dakota.
After showing my support for the water protectors fighting the pipeline that threatens their sacred land, I finally found the monorail and took it back to Seattle Center. It's kind of neat how the EMP museum was built around the tracks of the monorail.
I took a tea break and sat on the couch in my hotel room. I watched the long line of people snaking their way up to the elevators of the Space Needle. Watched the elevators go up and down for a while. Fully caffeinated I headed across the street to the EMP museum. The is the Experience Music Project museum, a museum fully devoted to pop culture. Its a fantastic museum full of some of my favorite things. There was huge Star Trek exhibition going on. That was my first stop. They had the original bridge of the Enterprise. It was fascinating to find out what George Takei (Sulu) and Walter Koenig (Chekov) were really staring at when they were sitting in their seats and punching buttons. There were some fun interactive things to do. I think I may still be a Borg from participating in one of them.
Overview of the exhibition. Can you name which Enterprise that is?
Details of the original bridge. Now you know what Chekov was looking at. Also TV history is being made in the background of the bottom left shot. Do you know that scene's significance?
I explored the Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana exhibitions. And then it was into the Sci-Fi and Fantasy exhibits. This was so much fun. I saw an original Dalek and Cyberman from Dr. Who. They had Number Six's red dress from Battlestar Galactica. And finally, they had the original Greedo mask from Star Wars!
A Dalek. I was surprised it was made of wood! And Number Six's dress.
My geek/nerd fangirl heart was beside itself with joy.
Greedo. With hands like that I think we can figure out who shot first.

Q: How to make a database migration where the target remains fully operational during it At our company we are trying to migrate data from an old Local SQL Server database to a RDS MySql database using SSIS. The original database is roughly 4GB in size and we are required to do the migration without taking down the production servers. The dev team reports that the migration runs fine with data being transferred, but after several hours (roughly 8 hours, but it's not exact. Sometimes it's less sometimes it's more) the connection abruptly closes. We have tried everything we can possibly think of on our side but we don't know what else could be going wrong. Based on their tests and ours, we think it could be the instance is closing the connection after being open for too long. Does anyone know what could be causing this?.
We need another alternative tool to make the migration and the target databases remains fully operational during the process?

A: I recommend you try the MySQL workbench 6.3 that oracle has out which has a piece precisely designed for your purpose.  It is under GNU license so they have a community version which is free.  There is also Data Loader which has a free trial version. The standard version is only $99.  You can use logical export and convert it, so there will be no down time.  GoldenGate would be perfect, but it is crazy expensive.  I know people who have used Kettle to do what you are doing.  Kettle is open source but you will have to write transforms so it will be a bit more tedious.  With SqlServer you can clone the database, and then use the cloned version to do whatever you need to do to get it converted to MySql, bring it down, whatever, while the original stays up.
Cheers
Why cannot a 4GB database be brought down for a bit?  And why would a 4GB database take 8 hours using SSIS ?   I commonly move terabytes around in less time than that.  That is in an Oracle shop, but still...

Homily for Sunday, December 1, 2019
december_1_2019.m4a
File Type: m4a
Fr. Bryan Howard
1st Sunday of Advent – Year A – 1 December 2019
It's been my practice since I started as pastor here to do a sort of financial assessment of the parish every September, where we go over the budget and talk about our plans for the future and what the Church needs to accomplish them. I was convicted recently that there is something more important than our financial condition, our spiritual condition. How are we doing as a parish and as a Church in our relationship with God and in our relationships with one another. What better time to ask that question than the First Sunday of Advent, when we begin to prepare for the birth of Jesus.
It's dangerous to but too much stock in numbers, because there's more to the health of the Church than how many people go to Mass, but we certainly want more people going to Mass and approaching the Sacraments. So, how is the Catholic Church doing? According to CARA, a Catholic research agengy, from 2000 to 2018, the US Catholic population increased by almost 9 million people, to 68.7 m. In 2018, there were 380,000 fewer infants baptized, over 70,000 fewer confirmations, over 200,000 fewer first Communions, over 100,000 fewer Catholic marriages, and the number of Catholic who attend Mass every Sunday dropped from 30% to 21%.
We know that the Church is struggling in the US, but how are we doing as a parish? In the past few years, the number of baptisms and funerals we're doing has gone up, as well as weekday Mass attendance. We've instituted Bible Studies and have about 2 dozen people participating. We've stayed about the same on the number of weddings, only one each year I've been here. The best indication of the spiritual health of a parish, however, is to look at Sunday Mass attendance and the number of people going to confession. I would say that the number of people going to confession is about the same, or maybe a little bit higher, than when I started here, although we obviously don't keep a count of that. The number of people going to Mass on Sundays, however, has definitely gone down. We always get over 500 people for Christmas and Easter and over 400 people for Ash Wednesday, but we're averaging about 350 for a regular weekend where just a few years ago we averaged over 380.
Now, I don't think that the Catholic Church is in danger of dying out; there are many places in the world where the Church is growing exponentially, like some parts of Africa and Asia. So, why is this happening here? Well, the clergy abuse scandal certainly plays a part. The bishops and priests who committed those atrocities forgot or ignored their responsibility to shepherd God's people and many people stopped trusting the Church, and who could blame them. However, that doesn't explain everything. The news broke in about 2002, but the decline in Mass attendance can be traced back to the 1970's.
I think another reason for the decline is the cultural change that started in the 1960's. As peoples' morality and lifestyles changed and things that the Church considers to be grave sin began to be seen as normal, people began to label the Church as intolerant. When people identify something as part of their character or their right, then calling it a sin can seem like an attack on them as a person. The Church has a responsibility to preach the truth, but we all know that it can be very hard to hear the truth.
That's a lot of bad news, but there's also a lot of Good News. Remember what Mother Teresa said, "We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful." In other words, our part is to follow the Gospel, to live the faith, and to love like Christ. God is the One who brings success or failure. If we are faithful, and seem to fail, then we should look to the Cross. Christ seemed to have failed when He was nailed to the Cross, but through the sign of the Cross the Gospel has spread to every continent.
Today, I want all of us to renew our commitment to God, to be renewed in the faith and in the grace of God. Moving forward, we will be focusing on renewing ourselves in the faith through a focus on the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Holy Matrimony. Let's put the Eucharist at the center of our Church family and at the center of our families at home. The best way we can evangelize our community is to live out the faith with joy. Joy is contagious and addictive. When we see someone who is full of joy we want to be close to them and that gives us an opportunity to share the faith simply by living it out in a radical way. I see the mission of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church as helping your family to live out the faith and put Christ at the center of our homes and lives. As part of our focus on the Eucharist, we already have opportunities for Adoration every first Wednesday and every Friday morning. As part of our focus on the Family, we are working on starting youth ministry as well as more opportunities for Marriage Enrichment. We also want everyone to know that families and children are always welcome at every parish Mass and parish event, and if the topics being talked about are too mature for certain ages we'll make that clear in advance.
Finally, this parish is already very committed to our patron saint, Our Lady of Lourdes, and we want to ask her to continue to pray for and bless our parish and our families. So, we're going to be adding a Mass the First Saturday of every month which will be dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I'll be available for confession half an hour before Mass and we'll pray a Marian devotion or prayer after Mass. The Mass will be the ordinary (Novus Ordo) Mass that we're used to, but all the prayers will be in Latin while the readings and homily will be in English. This will give us an opportunity to experience Mass in the language that the Church used for over one and a half millennia, and the language that most Catholics and most of the saints heard Mass in.
 Lord God, we ask you to bless our parish, our community, and our families. Renew us in the faith and in your grace through the Sacraments of the Most Holy Eucharist and Holy Matrimony, that we might all grow closer to you as one family in Christ. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Barbara (Bobbie) Fourcade link
I live in Prairieville now, but fondly remember you administering the Last Rites to my husband (Divine Mercy Parish) and you presiding at his burial (St. Roch Cemetery). You will always have a special place in my heart and I pray for you every Friday in the Adoration Chapel of St. John the Evangelist in P'ville.

The government must support the establishment of new ferry services to offset the risk which a No Deal Brexit presents to the route between Ireland and mainland Europe across the UK, according to FTA Ireland (FTAI), the business group representing Ireland's logistics sector. Responding to the launch of Irish Maritime Development Office's (IMDO) document, Report to the Department of Transport: A re-assessment of Ireland's maritime connectivity in the context of Brexit and COVID-19 challenges, Aidan Flynn, General Manager of FTAI, comments:
"A No Deal Brexit could lead to serious disruption on the UK's so called land bridge – the route across the UK mainland to Dover/Calais and on to Europe – and delays of just 12 hours would compromise Ireland's maritime connectivity to continental Europe severely. To establish robust and sustainable alternatives to the route, the government must help to install multiple new, fast, daily ferry services to Northern France; this would also serve to open Ireland up to new trading opportunities post-Brexit transition period.
"While IMDO's suggestion of expanding the current routes to Cherbourg and Roscoff are welcome, with a sailing time of 18 hours, these services do not offer a viable alternative to the land bridge, which allows vehicles to access the European mainland in a fraction of this time. We must ensure that Irish hauliers, once landing in France, have not exceeded their drivers' hours and are able to complete their journeys to the heart of the EU market in a timely fashion."
Mr Flynn continues: "Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands are critical markets for Ireland both in terms of imports and exports. Also opening new routes closer to these markets will serve to protect the international haulage sector in Ireland."

Q: Strange empty grey box appears when touching View near top of my screen A button near the top of my View is no longer clickable when I have Views with lots of padding or spacers on my page. When I reduce the padding, I am able to click the button, but only the bottom half of its image (80p tall). The top half still gives me the weird box that shows up.
It seems that the more padding / spacing I have, the further up my button goes on the screen (which is desirable), however, the button cannot be clicked above a certain y coordinate of my screen.
Has anyone seen this before? What does this empty box mean? My only guess is that its the NavigationView interfering with getting the touch, as a similar grey box occurs if I hold the back button down without releasing it.


If you wrote a post on this or any of my other discussion topics today, Monday June 17th please leave your link in the Mr. Linky.
For the first time this year I've done a ton of listening while doing yard work. When I started listening to audiobooks we were in a condo, so there was no yard work to be done, and when we moved into our house last summer I was pregnant with twins, so I was not so much with the yard work. This summer, though, I waged war on the dandelions in my yard and about two weeks of my life were given up to yard work, which meant I got through LOTS of audiobooks.
I also recently got a fitbit (a fancy schmancy pedometer).
The thrill of being able to compete against myself and others to get steps in has me taking lots of walks, and when I'm by myself or just with the babies I always, always, always have my audiobook going, which means more listening time lately.
So that's my audiobook year, how was yours?
I don't get to do much gardening, but can imagine your yard is looking great since you have your audiobooks to keep you company.
I haven't listened to any of your favorite titles yet, though I'm looking forward to catching up with Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend and Parlor Games.
Thanks for hosting Audiobook Week once again! It's an event I look forward to every year.
Thanks to you, Jen, I got hooked on audiobooks since I read your posts during the Audiobook Week last year! My love of audiobooks has gotten stronger and stronger and it's now a regular part of my reviewing schedule.
I am writing down all these titles – I have a feeling my audiobook TBR is going to grow by leaps and bounds this week!
I second your yardwork/audiobook recommendation:) I get through a lot of mindless work via audiobook. Last week I finished Gods of Gotham as an audiobook and really enjoyed it. I also listened to Blood, Bones and Butter (chef memoir) while prepping for a big dinner. Perfect! I'll be downloading your suggestions.
First, thank you for hosting Audiobook Week – this is my 3rd time participating and I look forward to it each year!!!
I haven't listened to any of your favorites – but the Emma Donoghue one has caught my eye so I will be looking into that one!
Don't you love the friendly competition of the Fitbit? I've had mine now for almost a year, and it wasn't until I joined Twitter that I found fitbit friends. It just makes you do more – and I love the idea of getting more walks in while listening to audios! I am just finishing one on my iPod and will need to get some more – I'm thinking by the end of the week I should have a nice list to work off of!
I'm adding Parlor Games to my wish list. If Astray is half as good as Room, it belongs there, too!
I still haven't gotten to Room, but Astray is a fabulous collection of historical short storied.
You know, I've been wanting to listen to Memoirs of an Invisible Friend for a while. The funny think is, I think I have checked to see if it's available at my library like 5 times, forgeting I already have. Sadly, it's not, so eventually I will figure out some other way to procure it.
I've been hesitant to get a pedometer, because I still try to convince myself that walking isn't excersise and I worry if I go that route it will become like a chore for me. I have to walk a lot for work, and am on my feet like 7 of the 9 hours, but I always wonder just exactly how much I do walk everyday.
I haven't read any of your 5 favorites so looks like I'll have to add them to the list Thanks for doing this awesome audiobook week! I'm so excited to participate.
For some reason I feel strange listening to audiobooks when I'm around my daughter so I don't listen very often at home unless she's sleeping (even on walks we listen to the radio together rather than me being plugged up with headphones). Makes me nervous about the audiobook time I'll be missing out on while I'm at home with the baby! I agree that it's been so much fun seeing audiobooks explode over the past couple of years.
My 3yo cut her hair last time I tried to listen to audiobooks at home when she was awake… but my 8-year-old son is a big fan, and we both love to listen, especially in the car. Thanks for hosting this!
What a great week it's going to be! I finished up an audiobook this morning, and now I'm trying to figure out which book to listen to next!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for recommending Astray! I loved it so much. I also really enjoyed Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend. Now why didn't I include that? I read Parlor Games and Frances and Bernard in print, so I'll keep those in mind for rereads. I need to do those more often.
Thanks for the great event, Jen!
Thanks for hosting this! I enjoyed it last year and am so looking forward to participating this year.
Totally unrelated to audiobooks for me, but I love my fitbit! I treated myself to one for my birthday and I've really enjoyed it. I try to walk everywhere now!
My Audiobook Year | my books. my life.

It is not always super safe to bike at night, especially if you have low visibility and with cars approaching your area. Sometimes there is no visible bike lane on the road, which makes it even less safe for the biker. This bike lane light is a tool that you can attach to the back of your bike: It will display bright red lines on both sides of your bike and it indicates to cars and other vehicles that you are a bike. The bike lane tail light will form your own lane as you bike and follow you along as you ride.
The bike lane light has 29 of 85LM LED lights. The 2 lane alerts are bright enough to be seen from 150 feet away even on foggy and rainy days. You can use the wireless remote control, emergency lights, and ground lane alert to turn on right/left turn signals. This will get the drivers' attentions from several blocks away and secure your safety when riding in traffic. The ultra-bright lane alert on the ground gives a warning to any possible incoming vehicle.
The bike lane light is weather- and shock-proof. It is super bright and very easy to see in the dark, and is easily mounted. The wireless remote control allows the bike lane light to send signals in different modes through its six easy-to-use buttons.
This bike lane light is a great way to decrease risk while bicycling at night on roads that are not properly-lit. The two thick red lines it projects to either side of you will help you feel safe when biking in the dark or in any kind of weather.

Friendly and helpful service is what sets the Posada Nena apart. Its German owners live on the property and make sure that guests are happy and all of the cheerful, bright rooms are kept ship-shape. Rooms surround a breeze-blessed courtyard garden (with sunken Jacuzzi), shaded by a bamboo canopy. Also on-site is a tiny, rustic restaurant. Posada Nena is booked, often with repeat guests, by folks with friends or family in Santa Ana. Previously called Casa Alegre, the compact residential area hotel is just 2 blocks from the pretty stone church and central park of this once quiet farming town.

It looks like the former Sears building could finally be on the cusp of landing some new tenants.
Building permits filed this week indicate Burlington Stores and Sierra Trading Post are both planning to open stores in the building at 6400 O St.
John Dewhurst, president of Omaha real estate firm Hard Corner LLC, who is the leasing agent for the building's owners, declined to confirm the two tenants. He said no leases have been signed yet.
The stores, which are both off-price retailers, would be new to Lincoln. Burlington has three stores in Omaha, while Sierra Trading Post has one.
Neither company could be reached for comment.
Burlington, which used to be known as Burlington Coat Factory, sells men's, women's and kids' clothing and shoes, as well as toys, books and housewares. It is similar to stores such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross.

Sierra Trading Post also sells discounted items, but its focus is more on athletic and outdoors gear, including clothing and shoes. It is owned by TJX Cos., which owns TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods.
The 120,000-square-foot Sears building has been vacant since Sears closed in March 2019. Texas-based Elm Creek Real Estate bought it in December 2019, along with the former Red Lobster and a vacant lot, all of which were owned by Sears, for $6.5 million.
Documents submitted to the Lincoln-Lancaster Planning Department earlier this year showed plans to tear down the former auto center portion of the building and build a new 16,000-square-foot addition to house a "a mixture of retail and restaurant uses."
Fresh Thyme Farmers Market at 52nd and O streets was one of the major new retailers to open in Lincoln in the first half of 2016. It closed in October 2020.
