In other news, good news, at least the Kentucky court dropped their lawsuit against the Vatican and a very old abuse victim, who was part of the lawsuit, was reconciled to the Catholic Church after something like 80 years.

That said… Steve Jobs is right. Flash sucks. Most people don’t care for it. It was just a way of making spiffy presentations on websites, but it breaks browser functionality and you’re forced to endure tiny scroll bars, broken mouse functions and noise. Flash websites do not operate the way ordinary websites operate. They work within themselves and they’re only part of the browser in a container of sorts. They’re buggy, use too much memory and they crash.

I don’t know anyone who loves flash websites.

Why say this? Well. If it was just the iphone I wouldn’t care. It’s a phone and it’s a teeny itty bitty little screen. So what if you can’t see a flash page here or there? For me that’s not a big deal.The deal is what Adobe tries to make of flash and everybody else’s rejection of it. They were criticizing the Kindle format because it isn’t functional with Flash.

I hate certain aspects of the Kindle format as well, but one thing I don’t hate is that it’s not Flash based. Who in their right mind would want to read their Kindle books in a Flash reader of some sort? Is Adobe Digital Editions Flash based, too? That would explain why it crashed on the first epub book I loaded onto it.

Adobe. Fix your software, get with HTML5 and stop trying to duke it out with device manufacturers who can’t support junk that doesn’t work and which breaks functionality.

They left me alone for a while for some reason.aye I’m bleeding. I don’t know and I cant talk. Have to read at mass on sunday. Hope I’m ok fir that. Already agreed to fil in for two people.

Weird. Fingers work but I am not getting button all right. Lots of spellin errors

I am still getting traffic which uses a combination of the search terms in the post title so I thought I’d direct you to the proper location and explain. I hosted the website that had coretemp for a while, and offered a subdomain to Arthur, otherwise known as The Coolest. I was unable to continue paying for the webservers that hosted his site, among others, and worked with him until he was able to set up his own domain with another host. The link above will take you to his website. If you know someone who has a link to http://thecoolest.zerobrains.com/ or http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/ please ask them to update the link to

Thank you. Good Day.

While I was in there I saw something different, tucked in the upper left corner of another cooler. It was Budweiser, and some effort was put into giving the box a modern retro look. An actual retro look would have been much, much simpler, but this is neat, with a recycled paper feel to it and an eagle on the box. The beer was also devoid of the amped up look that is common in the “get you drunk fast and cheap” beers. I hate being drunk.

So I bought it. It claims to be a “Carefully brewed with Barley from American’s Heartland and Cascade Hops from the Pacific Northwest” American Ale. They oversold the “American” part, but this is a Belgian company now with a Brazilian president, so what would you expect. I’d have been more impressed if they had claimed to import the best materials available from around the globe, but it’s Budweiser, so I’m not expecting much.

Forget the beer lingo. You can find reviews for it HERE. They do the sniffer test well enough. I’m just going to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. It was inexpensive, and halfway decent. This combination has been lacking in the American Beer market since about forever. Is this the best beer you can buy? Not by a long shot. The best beer you can buy is made by monks and you should really make the trip to Europe to get it. Is it bad? Not at all. In fact, I’ll probably go ahead and get it again, provided they continue to sell it. It’s a good beer for a cookout. It’s not too strong and would probably satisfy a beer snob while not offending the Busch Light crowd. After people have had a few you can bring out the carbonated urine. The Beast, Busch Light or even Pabst Blue Ribbon should be fine. They won’t notice, unless they’re beer snobs.

I could not pass up the following quote from the comments section without replying.

It’s great when people say that they understand that God alone is to be worshiped. It’s sad when those same people have rosary beads on the rear-view mirror.

I’m sort of one of those people that makes him sad. I believe that there is only one God and that Mary is the Queen of Heaven and that Latria only belongs to the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Also – My single decade beads are hanging from the column shifter, not the mirror. It’s easier to get to them to pray the Rosary that way!

Please don’t be sad TurretinFan. All of the Marian devotions are Christ centered and someday I hope you’ll understand that.

Well. We can hope can’t we? Maybe they’ll drop their prices just to stay alive!

Fiesta! Siesta! Alejandro!
We have cheap gas!
We’re in the Green!
Alejandro!

The Backstreet Boys!
Gaga’s our queen!
She’ll pump gas with her cigarette breath!

Alejandro!
Fernando!

BP burned off my eyebrows
With their gas fumes
Just have my cigarette and boom!

Alejandro! Alejandro!

Please pray for everyone caught up in pornography.

CHAP. III.
4. Some one may say,

“The Eucharist ought not to be taken every day.”

You ask,

“On what grounds?”

He answers,

“Because, in order that a man may approach worthily to so great a sacrament, he ought to choose those days upon which he lives in more special purity and self-restraint; for ‘anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.’ ”

Another answers,

“Certainly; if the wound inflicted by sin and the violence of the soul’s distemper be such that the use of these remedies must be put off for a time, every man in this case should be, by the authority of the bishop, forbidden to approach the altar, and appointed to do penance, and should be afterwards restored to privileges by the same authority; for this would be partaking unworthily, if one should partake of it at a time when he ought to be doing penance, and it is not a matter to be left to one’s own judgment to withdraw himself from the communion of the Church, or restore himself, as he pleases. If, however, his sins are not so great as to bring him justly under sentence of excommunication, he ought not to withdraw himself from the daily use of the Lord’s body for the healing of his soul.”

Perhaps a third party interposes with a more just decision of the question, reminding them that the principal thing is to remain united in the peace of Christ, and that each should be free to do what, according to his belief, he conscientiously regards as his duty. For neither of them lightly esteems the body and blood of the Lord; on the contrary, both are contending who shall most highly honour the sacrament fraught with blessing.

There was no controversy between those two mentioned in the Gospel, Zacchaeus and the Centurion; nor did either of them think himself better than the other, though, whereas the former received the Lord joyfully into his house, the latter said, “I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof,” —both honouring the Saviour, though in ways diverse and, as it were, mutually opposed; both miserable through sin, and both obtaining the mercy they required. We may further borrow an illustration here, from the fact that the manna given to the ancient people of God tasted in each man’s mouth as he desired that it might. It is the same with this world-subduing sacrament in the heart of each Christian. For he that dares not take it every day, and he who dares not omit it any day, are both alike moved by a desire to do it honour. That sacred food will not submit to be despised, as the manna could not be loathed with impunity. Hence the apostle says that it was unworthily partaken of by those who did not distinguish between this and all other meats, by yielding to it the special veneration which was due; for to the words quoted already, “eats and drinks judgment on himself,” he has added these, “without discerning the body;” and this is apparent from the whole of that passage in the first Epistle to the Corinthians, if it be carefully studied.
Schaff, P. (1997). The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Vol. I (301).

There’s a school on the same block and parents drive like it’s a race.

I ordered a large Drink Docker from http://www.drinkdocker.com/ and put the spacer pads on it. It has held everything drink I put in it so far, including a fast food soft drink cup. Nothing spilled. Everything stayed where it should.

I get no commission or payment for this, but am so thrilled with this simple and inexpensive product that I just felt it was necessary to make a post specifically about it. I’ve ordered 2 more (another for my van and one for someone I work with who drives the other Astro that we have) and they sent a drink wrap with it because I gave them my testimony elsewhere. This testimony is free. Click Here to get to their site and see it for yourself.
