Adoro te devote, latens Deitas,
quae sub his figuris vere latitas:
tibi se cor meum totum subiicit,
quia te contemplans totum deficit.
Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,
sed auditu solo tuto creditur;
credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius:
nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius.
In cruce latebat sola Deitas,
at hic latet simul et humanitas;
ambo tamen credens atque confitens,
peto quod petivit latro paenitens.
Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor;
Deum tamen meum te confiteor;
fac me tibi semper magis credere,
in te spem habere, te diligere.
O memoriale mortis Domini!
panis vivus, vitam praestans homini!
praesta meae menti de te vivere
et te illi semper dulce sapere.
Pie pellicane, Iesu Domine,
me immundum munda tuo sanguine;
cuius una stilla salvum facere
totum mundum quit ab omni scelere.
Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio,
oro fiat illud quod tam sitio;
ut te revelata cernens facie,
visu sim beatus tuae gloriae. Amen.
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.
Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.
On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.
I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;
Let me to a deeper faith daily nearer move,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.
O thou our reminder of Christ crucified,
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.
Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what thy bosom ran---
Blood whereof a single drop has power to win
All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light
And be blest for ever with thy glory's sight. Amen.

Why Jesus used bread (rather than the Paschal Lamb) for the Eucharist
35 comments:
Dear Father,
while studying the matter you proposed in this article, I came also to think of another reason why Jesus may have chosen bread rather than the lamb: put in plain words, the use of the lamb would have been misleading with respect to the nature of Christ's sacrifice. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were a figure of Christ's bloody holocaust on the Cross, so that they were "bloody" too. Spreading blood at killing and sacrificing the lamb, clearly was a figure of Christ's body being slammed and his blood being spread on Golgotha. Now, Christ's sacrifice is permanent and sufficient – no more blood must be shed because Christ's holocaust is sufficient and perpetual. We don't need a figure of Christ's sacrifice, but a memorial (in the Jewish sense of the word, i.e. a ritual actualization) of the Messiah's death. In order to perpetually signify this, Christ most fittingly chose a visible sign which required no bloodshed: the Lamb was thus unfit to convey the meaning of the sufficiency of Christ's bloodshed. We can also read the Cain and Abel story in the light of Christ's sacrifice. Abel's sacrifice was most fitting as a figure of the perpetual sacrifice of the Cross, at a time when men had to fully understand that bloodshed was required to compensate for the consequences of original sin. On the contrary, Cain anticipated a bloodless sacrifice, showing that he didn't understand that bloodshed was required until the Messiah come to fulfill God's promise of the "Seed of the Woman" to be sent to defeat Satan. This is just a theory, but I don't think I missed the point. Am I right, father?

Also, a lamb having been a living being creates confusion who we are actually adoring. The lamb could be understood to be somehow linked to the Son in some way, just as His human nature is united with His divine nature, to give an example. Bread doesn't create such confusion

"Fr Bart" left the following comment, which I find quite helpful.
Might another reason that our Lord chose to use bread for the Holy Eucharist be that He wanted to make it more available to all nations and peoples? It seems to me that wheat is more easy to come by than lambs, and less expensive, and easier to prepare, etc. Though I am sure there are still places in the world (and certainly have been in the past) where wheat is rare.

Dear Father,
There is yet another dimension to bread. God makes wheat. God makes water. We make bread. In this way, the bread that is offered really is an oblation of the Church. We take what Our Lord has given us, use our gifts to glorify Him, and then offer back what He has given to us. This, of course, is the sense of the "Benedictus es Domine."
Kind Regards,
Father S.

Could the use of bread have been a reference back to Moses and manna in the desert?
Exodus 16:14-15
- June 9, 2012 at 10:11 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Yes, most certainly!
In fact, St Thomas says that the manna foreshadows the effect of the Eucharist ... insofar as it is suited to each one's need and provides nourishment in the desert.
Another Old Testament connection is that Melchisedek offered bread and wine after Abraham defeated the four kings!

I recall something from St. Paul -- "The blood of beasts cannot forgive sins."
This is certainly something of what you are referring to, yes?

Dr Brant Pitre's work in "The Jewish Roots of the Eucharist" suggests yet another reason - an existing tradition in the Lord's own time, that the sacrifice the Messiah would make would be the Todah (thanksgiving) sacrifice of bread and wine, rather than the Atonement sacrifice of an animal. The video on the book's website, www.theholyeucharist.com, is an excellent summary.

As a matter of fact, I understand among the Ethiopians, a bread made from millet (the usual grain) is used, and at least some of the ancient Churches of India use rice flour.
Furthermore, all the Eastern Churches with the exception of the Armenian Church and a few of those in communion with Rome use leavened bread, and even these last are a late Latinism.

I think that with bread & wine "work of human hands," Jesus is showing the importance of our cooperation with His intent for the Eucharist. Wheat and grape juice won't cut it. Rather, we must take those things and transform them through our work into the elements that enable Jesus to do his greater transformative work. It's like creating children: God depends on our cooperation for his creation of more people to continue.

And then of course there's John 6.

I am not a Priest but just a simple layman. I attend Mass each morning and oddly, I began asking myself this very question these last few weeks. I have actually meditated on this question during prayer. Why bread and wine? I think perhaps it has something to do with God and man working together. God provides the seeds and the rich soil needed for both grapes and wheat. Man (often many people) work the fields together, harvest together, grind the wheat together and even press the grapes together. In ancient times it was often a communal thing. It was a community coming together and working with God's gifts to create food and drink. I think that is what Jesus wanted his followers to do. "Feed my sheep". So many of his parables were about people working together tending the fields and vineyards and how they often attained success through working together as one. We are all called to tend God's fertile fields and reap His harvest. I believe that Jesus was the only "blood" sacrifice that God has ever accepted for our sins. The millions of animals sacrificed have been in vain. When that perfect sacrifice was complete perhaps Jesus was saying…no more lambs please! Let the Pagans sacrifice their animals to their gods. My Father wants the works of your hands and your hearts.
- June 9, 2012 at 4:49 PM
When I was in college, a professor pointed out that the substance of all the parables of Jesus is natural, available universally and throughout all times. For example: oil, seed, water, fish, etc. So, lamb does not fit that criteria. Jesus chose to consecrate that which most people can obtain and relate to.

The fact that God chose to give us this gift, the gift of Himself, made truly present in this way, "causes me to tremble".

My understanding is that in the early Church, the Eucharist was always entirely consumed -- if for no other reason because the Church was persecuted and could not guarantee the safety of a tabernacle. In the East this is still done, because what looks like bread is combined with what looks like wine. Furthermore, this practice seems to be more in keeping with the Passover tradition, since the entire lamb had to be eaten by morning, with any uneaten portions properly disposed of. Consequently, the concerns about spoilage seem to be less significant than some of the other points that have been brought up.
- June 9, 2012 at 8:17 PM
St. Louis De Montfort actually put the most beautiful perspective on this question that I ever heard. In paragraph 71 of his classic work "The Love of Eternal Wisdom" he said the following:
" Eternal Wisdom, on the one hand, wished to prove his love for man by dying in his place in order to save him, but on the other hand, he could not bear the thought of leaving him. So he devised a marvellous way of dying and living at the same time, and of abiding with man until the end of time. So, in order fully to satisfy his love, he instituted the sacrament of Holy Eucharist and went to the extent of changing and overturning nature itself. He does not conceal himself under a sparkling diamond or some other precious stone, because he does not want to abide with man in an ostentatious manner. But he hides himself under the appearance of a small piece of bread - man's ordinary nourishment - so that when received he might enter the heart of man and there take his delight. Ardenter amantium hoc est - Those who love ardently act in this way. "O eternal Wisdom," says a saint, "O God who is truly lavish with himself in his desire to be with man."
Absolutely beautiful!

I would have to see more information on that ... the Church teaches that only wheat bread can be used for the Eucharist ... and this is (as far as I have every discovered) accepted across the Orthodox Churches as well.
- June 10, 2012 at 5:33 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Historically, you are correct.
However, our Savior's intention was not bound to the moment in time, but was directed toward the whole life of the Church.
Thus, as our Lord knew he would command Eucharistic Adoration in the future (about a millennium later), we are right to see that the use of bread was to prepare for this.
However, as you rightly point out, the Eucharist does not seem to have been kept for adoration in the earliest days of the Church ... though, as soon as possible, the Christians did build basilicas and then at least small amounts of the Eucharist were kept (and there is much more to say here -- like that a piece of the Host from the bishop would be kept and mingled with the Eucharist at other Masses, as a sign of unity -- but we will leave it at that).
Also, very very early on, communion was kept for Viaticum to the dying.
Peace! +
- June 10, 2012 at 5:38 AM
another historical reason (that does not erase the theological dimension): the paschal meal of the poor in Jesus' times was bread and wine. Joachim Jeremias proved it beyond doubts.
- June 10, 2012 at 9:20 AM
There was a lamb at the last supper. The lamb was Jesus.
- June 10, 2012 at 10:08 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Yes, precisely!
And this is why one might have expected that Jesus would use lamb-flesh as the matter for the Eucharist ... since bread (in itself) does not very clearly indicate that Jesus is the Lamb of God -- nor does it seem particularly sacrificial (and neither does wine ... unless we look with the eyes of faith). +
- June 10, 2012 at 1:26 PM
The Todah Sacrifice involved the use of bread and wine.
- June 10, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Related to the Melchizedek connection:
One of David's psalms is a prophecy of the Eucharist being in the form of bread and wine. Psalm 110 talks about the Messiah's reign.
The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek."
(talking to the Messiah)
-Psalm 110:4
Jesus, the Messiah, is the priest, and to be a priest according to the order of Melchizedek (as in the high priest) is to use bread and wine.
- June 10, 2012 at 7:11 PM
Dear Father,
I thank you for pointing out that specific passage from St. Paul - it is indeed what I meant!
I also thank all other people who posted their suggestions: there are many suppositions proving that Jesus chose the best food and drink for the Eucharist - or better, the most fitting with respect to what he wanted the Eucharist to be.
- June 11, 2012 at 5:10 AM
Wasn't the Last Supper a Passover meal, using unleavened bread (the bread of affliction) and wine?
- June 11, 2012 at 6:50 AM
Nice treatise, but a few critical points were overlooked. In the sacrifice of a lamb under the covenant, the shedding of blood is what was to atone for sin. Since Abraham sacrificed the ram instead of Isaac, the lamb became the standard as a prophetic symbol of the Lamb of God who would eventually fulfill the covenant; in the generic human psyche, there is an aversion to the killing of another human being - some people can do it alot, but it eventually takes its toll psychologically on most people. As Christ, Second Person of the Trinity, died for our sins, in His perfection is the perfect atonement, not in the use of an ordinary lamb. To have used a lamb would have been a compromise and not a successful atonement. As the ultimate shedding of Christ's blood resulted in His death and resurrection, He put an end to all blood sacrifice as it was now completely accomplished, and therefore there could be no further compromise. But in the Eucharist is our assurance that the Ultimate Sacrifice remains valid and uncompromised, therefore it must continue as a sacrifice, not of only bread and wine, but of the actual Body and Blood of Christ.
So, why bread and wine? In the use of bread and wine, if we look in nature, we actually see the forming of them naturally in certain situations: wine is formed by a natrual fermentation process of sugar into alcohol by action of microorganisms (a process in Nature that came as part of God's creation prior to the advent of man's sin. Prior to man's production of wine, certain orchids in the Mediterranean produce wine in their bowl shaped flowers as part of their on-going procreation -their partaking in God's creation.); a form of unleavened bread is produced by certain bees and ants (social insects) by using starch from plants and water (again, a process that existed prior to the advent of sin). Thus, the process is one whose origin is found in Nature as integral to God's creation and compatible to our own existence. Therefore, like Christ's origins are eternal and unblemished so are the origins of bread and wine, and although Christ could have chosen a pascal lamb as the species of sacrifice, the order of the day was to fulfill the convenant. To continue in its previously insufficient form of unhuman victim would be to essentially not fulfill the covenant, and would not be a perfect sacrifice. Given all of these precepts, bread and wine are the perfect choice, and few other options palatable to humans would have been sufficient fulfillment as the Body and Blood of Christ. God's logic surpasses our own, but He always keeps us and our flawed outlook in mind.

Fr Erlenbush,
I also think the usage of bread and wine also makes more clear the re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Calvary. Would we not be required to a kill a lamb for each Eucharist if Christ had used a lamb? Also, he is the lamb, so using a physical lamb at the Passover seems a bit confusing to my mind.
- June 11, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Christ did not use a lamb because He became the unblemished Lamb on the cross. I was taught that and it is simple but true. If Christ had used a lamb it would not have signaled the end of the Old Covenant and the beginning of the New. Christ's immolation of His very self was the end of the Old Covenant. Just as God provided the Lamb to Abraham, God provided the Lamb, His only begotten Son
- June 11, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Perhaps the Grain was used as an earthly edible daily symbo,to indicate that on the Last Judgment Day the Lord will separate the wheat from the sheaf. It was a practical choice for even the poorest. The reference to companionship was the breaking of the Bread at the Last Supper in the upper room referring to community the Quahal Yahweh the gathering. Come share my Bread translates companionship in French. Com Panier.
- June 11, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Take a look at Joshua chapter 9 and Genesis 26:26-33, considering the role of an anticipatory meal of bread and wine, eating and drinking, as a covenant is effected reestablishing peace between its two parties. This also sheds light on Jesus words, "I call you no longer servants but friends," because that language of "friends" has political connotations as well, i.e. that we are now political allies (cf. 2Sam16:15ff and 1Kings16:11).
- June 12, 2012 at 3:07 AM
thank you for all these great posts. I have also been thinking about our eucharist. That something so simple could be used by our astonishing God. I am astonished. I wish we catholic people had more reverance for our God in the simple species. I also think since we are dust and God can come and live in us, He can certainly choose bread which is something even little children (or others without alot of teeth)can easily consume. Thank you all for your posts. Denise

Is it possible to add a forward to your web page so we can more easily spread the word that it is here? Are you on you tube or facebook? Somehow that seems irreverent to me, but maybe I am being scrupulous.
I am simply wondering how to spread the knowledge your web page is out there for those of us struggling through these times --it is so wonderful --I want my teenagers to know about it --a forward to their parents would be so easy compared to a cut and paste -- which I will immediately try to do!

Perhaps, in the use of Bread and Wine, Christ expressed the will of the Father that we look to the simplicity of Creation rather than its complexity. Likewise, so should blood sacrifice conducted under the species of a live victim, which entails a complex series of biological degradation leading to death, be replaced by a bloodless sacrifice under simple species which in essence lead to life. The Covenant is fulfilled and death no longer wins!

[When I first came to the American shores in 1962 (from Uruguay, South America), there were only a couple of kosher food manufacturers available in Richmond, VA – where my parents settled at the time. As for wine, the only real kosher options were extra sweet and sweeter yet… 48 years later, the choice of kosher certified foods in supermarkets has grown exponentially and there is little that is not available. Kosher wines are manufactured around the globe and win international awards! What caused this phenomenal revolution, how did kosher go mainstream? To understand how it all happened I sat down, yesterday, with Menachem Lubinsky, President and CEO of Lubicom. A summary of our conversation follows.]
The major factors contributing to the growth of the kosher industry are:
- Natural growth
- Dramatic improvements in packaging
- Accessibility in supermarkets
- Opportunities beyond traditional markets
- Technology
The kosher consumer numbers have almost doubled in the last 20 years, with those under age 45 comprising over half of the total. More affluent neighborhoods convinced manufacturers that no segment of the market should be closed to them.
New advances in food production vastly improved the quality of kosher products. Packaging became more attractive and eye catching (as opposed to the old cellophane wrappers), an important ingredient in marketing and getting shelf space.
By expanding the kosher sections a new demographic of customers, with larger families, comes in and spends far more than the earlier smaller families. Certainly supermarkets pushed out smaller grocery stores – yet those who were willing to adapt to the new times and became more specialized in their offerings thrived. As a result, a lot of independents are opening today with choices not available in the larger stores, thereby expanding variety.
Muslims make up a large percentage of kosher consumers because of their concerns over pork. In the bigger cities, where such are available, they are exhorted to use strictly halal stores and yet, they still come to kosher establishments. In smaller cities you can find them in the kosher isles of supermarkets. [Even at last week's Kosherfest, there were Muslims. CS.]
Kosher products are slowly becoming mainstream, Middle Eastern treats like hummus are now commonplace throughout America. Bagels are not only available throughout most of the Western world and parts of Asia, but the word itself is now part of normal everyday parlance, whether here, most of Europe or even Japan. Eating kosher is no longer just a "Jewish thing," it's trendy!
And then, of course, there is the social media. A technology that is revolutionizing the flow of information at incredible speeds. Mr. Lubinsky witnessed its tremendous power at Pomegranate recently as he saw a lady tweeting the specials… Within a half hour, ten of her friends had joined her in shopping!
Yes, kosher has come an incredibly long way whether in number of items, the quality of restaurants and wines available. In 2008 kosher represented a $200 billion market as opposed to $150 billion in 2003. Many non Jews seek out kosher because they believe it to be safer, better, healthier.
[Prior and during his time at Lubicom, Mr. Lubinsky worked and continues to work extensively with both profit and non-profits. He has an M.B.A. in Marketing and Advertising from the Bernard Baruch College at City University of New York. He has received many prestigious awards and been honored by major organizations for his work and advocacy. As a major player in the field, he is the universally acknowledged expert on the matter of kosher marketing, its history and its growth.]

Last week I went to a small mining town called Roros in the Norwegian mountains.
(You can see pictures of it here.)
It snowed and snowed and I fell in love with the perfectly preserved wooden houses
That make up the town. Most of these houses are about 300 years old.
Back then, the people worked in the copper mines (now closed)
And lived in these beautiful cottages,
Although I'm sure they were considered to be the huts of the poor in those days.
Even the rubbish bins on the streets were picturesque.
Twisting lanes, old wood and the heavy snow
All added to the enchantment.
In a secret old courtyard,
I discovered Santa's sleigh —
And then I knew I was in a fairytale
(At least for a couple of days).
For more enchantment, please visit: Our World.

Maryland headed to Big Ten, Rutgers likely next
- School was a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953
- School president says move guarantees "long-term future of Maryland athletics"
- Will school still have to deal with ACC's exit fee, recently raised to $50 million?
The University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to join the Big Ten Conference on Monday, leaving behind the Atlantic Coast Conference, a league it helped create in 1953.
Patricia Florestano, a member of the Board of Regents, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports the regents had voted to apply for admission for the University of Maryland into the Big Ten.
"There was certainly discussion about the tradition of the ACC. And the question is what's the future. And we've got to look to the future," Florestano said in Baltimore before a previously scheduled public meeting on education policy.
The Big Ten issued a news release that said Maryland would hold a news conference at 3 p.m. Eastern in College Park, Md., with university president Wallace Loh, chancellor Brit Kirwan, athletics director Kevin Anderson and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany. The Big Ten has scheduled a national teleconference for 4 p.m. with Delany, Loh, Kirwan, Anderson and University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman.
"I did it to guarantee the long-term future of Maryland athletics," university President Wallace Loh told Maryland's student newspaper, The Diamondback. "No future president will have to worry about cutting teams or that Maryland athletics will be at risk."
Maryland has been in a severe athletics budget crisis in recent years, going so far as to cut some of its intercollegiate programs. The Big Ten move is expected to generate several more millions a year, mainly through television rights. The Big Ten has the most lucrative television contract in college sports, with each member receiving more than $24 million a year, according to published reports, including by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
ACC commissioner John Swofford issued a statement Monday that read, "Our best wishes are extended to all of the people associated with the University of Maryland. Since our inception, they have been an outstanding member of our conference and we are sorry to see them exit. For the past 60 years the Atlantic Coast Conference has exhibited leadership in academics and athletics. This is our foundation and we look forward to building on it as we move forward."
Florestano said the vote earlier Monday was not unanimous but that she voted for the move to the Big Ten. "There was a long discussion," she said.
Is Maryland's future brighter in the Big Ten? "We perceive it that way," said Florestano.
The Board of Regents has 17 members. "We had a majority in the room,'' she said.
Rutgers is expected to follow Maryland to the Big Ten. It has a previously scheduled Board of Governors meeting Monday, but its president, Robert Barchi, and athletic director, Tim Pernetti, have the authority to accept an invitation from the Big Ten without the board's approval. An announcement on its move could come as early as Tuesday.
Maryland's football experience with Big Ten schools predominantly has come in 37 games with Penn State. The Terrapins have played 12 other games against Big Ten opponents, with a combined record of 4-44-1. Maryland never has played Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State or Wisconsin in football.
Maryland's move creates an opening, and perhaps some instability, in the Atlantic Coast Conference. After adding Notre Dame as a partial member (all sports but football and hockey) in September, ACC presidents voted to increase the league's exit fee to $50 million. Maryland and Florida State were the only schools to vote against it. An ACC official, who requested not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the situation, said the league's legal council has determined that the exit fee is binding. Maryland is expected to seek a reduction in the buyout.
"There are no loopholes," the official said.
Florestano was asked whether the possibility of a $50 million fee to exit the ACC gave her any pause.
"We're still debating what that figure is and how we're going to deal with it," she said.
The ACC could look to add UConn to fill Maryland's spot, but others in the league — especially Florida State and Clemson — will be watching closely to see how the exit fee is handled.
Gary Mihoces reported from Baltimore.

Last year, soon after we acquired the portraits of Chippewa Chief No-Tin by Henry Inman and Charles Bird King, I began making plans to organize a public program to explore the identities, histories, and art histories these images embody and prefigure. I wanted to find noted authorities who could help elucidate fact from fiction and consider artistic license in relation to history. At our roundtable on Saturday, "The American Indian and American Art," we heard from William Truettner and Amy Scott, curators at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Autry National Center, respectively, as well as Mateo Romero, a Cochiti Pueblo painter based in Pojoaque Pueblo and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their talks brilliantly tackled issues raised by American Indian imagery in American art in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, and raised important questions that we will all be thinking about for a long time to come when looking at historical to contemporary images of Native Americans.
A central theme throughout the talks was the contingency of images of American Indians, especially by non-Native American artists, as the title of Mr. Truettner's talk on nineteenth-century paintings suggests: "Why Real Indians Never Appear on Canvas." However, in Mateo Romero's contemporary art, both appropriated and real Indians appear in his canvases.
In some of his works, like War Music II (2008), just acquired by the Autry National Center after being exhibited in their 2008 exhibition, Maverick Art, Mr. Romero incorporates photo transfers of historical Edward Curtis photographs into his work.
In other paintings he depicts living Pueblo village traditions of song and dance that portray individual Pueblo Indians, such as the young dancer named Butterfly in the eponymous 2007 painting.
In response to questions from the audience about authenticity of American Indian images, Mr. Romero responded, "I am authentic." And Mr. Truettner stressed "from whose standpoint is something authentic?" Ms. Scott acknowledged the interconnectedness of "representation and power and expectation and response": it is essential to assess how representations of American Indians are determined by who is making the image, and for whom, and to consider the audience for the work and the historical moment of creation and reception through history. And how does portraiture broadly considered—of American Indians, their land, their cultures—try to negotiate the past, present, and future? In what ways today can historical and contemporary American Indian imagery obscure, preserve, or mediate Indian cultures for non-Indian and Indian viewers alike?

I've never asked the BNC community for any financial contribution. There's no tip jar on the site; indeed I happily fund the website costs out of my pocket and give my time freely, because I think it's a worthwhile pursuit. But now, I'd like to ask you to give a little, to a most worthy cause that encapsulates all that BraveNewClimate is about.
Ben Heard, my friend, colleague and fellow environmentalist traveller on the pro-nuclear, pro-full-decarbonisation road, has worked incredibly hard on a collaboration to do some serious clean energy planning. In this impressive 15,000 word report, Ben and his co-authors consider two alternate energy solutions, a hybrid solar/wind renewable solution and a reference nuclear solution, against the challenge of delivering the same hypothetical energy task: the replacement of the Northern and Playford Coal-Fired Power Stations in northern South Australia with clean energy. The report compares these solutions against 13 holistic sustainability and economic criteria. It's a terrific case study, the lessons of which are applicable to decision makers far and wide.
As he says in his DSA post here, they wrote the report unpaid, because it matters. But if it's going to have real-world impact, it needs effective publicity and wide distribution. This report must get into the hands of lots of people. That is where you can come in. Please consider giving a small donation to make it happen, even if it's only a few $$. Every little bit helps.
Although the project has already received over half of the requested funds from 42 supporters, input has recently slowed to a trickle. As with most crowdsourced funding requests, the early donations are relatively easy to secure, whereas the 'long tail' is much tougher. It's the old Pareto 80:20 principle.
To get a taste of what you would be supporting, you can read a preview of the introduction, here: Zero Carbon Options: Seeking an Economic Mix for an Environmental Outcome (4-page PDF). It's well written and engaging, and, having twice refereed the whole report, I can confirm that it's also extremely rigorous.
Below are some additional words from Ben, written especially for the BNC audience.
Zero Carbon Options – Launch the Report
It's not an original concept, either for the pages of BNC or anything else. We have all heard that the major hurdle nuclear power faces is social acceptance.
However after nearly two years of independent nuclear advocacy, I think I'm in a position to nuance that a little. The key word is "social". Acceptance, per se, is not the issue.
I have had a lot of conversations about nuclear power in the last two years. I have written a lot of articles, and given a lot of presentations. I have had many confidential meetings, taught many classes, and landed a pretty convincing debate victory. Along the way a few things have become very clear.
- Far, far more people are essentially supportive of the deployment of nuclear power in Australia than I originally believed. If this group is a minority of the population, it is not a small minority. However for the majority of these people the opinion is held quietly, mainly it seems from a sense of futility
- Many, many people want to know more about nuclear power. They want information. Whatever their view, it is not strongly held. Their opinions are in play. These people range in age, gender, political leaning and general walk of life but there are common reasons why they are seeking answers: concerns about climate change and a search for a solution that is up to the challenge
- A huge number of people in what I would describe as positions of power or influence in the political or business community, particularly in the energy community, are strongly supportive of nuclear power. But they see too much downside risk in either themselves or their organisation standing by that position
The "acceptance" of nuclear is everywhere. But except in rare and valuable forums like Brave New Climate, it has not been socialised. It has not been shared, voiced, and reinforced. It has not been widely stated, restated, and stood by because of a reinforcing silence and, frankly, fears of what other people think. Fear of how they will react. Nuclear suffers an appalling first mover syndrome for those who feel they have something at stake, whether it is friendships, votes, funding or customers.
That's a deadlock we need to break. That's why we wrote Zero Carbon Options.
When Brown & Pang approached me for a collaboration in nuclear, two things struck me. The first was the quality of their work. The second was that they did it. They did not wait for funding, or a buyer. They wrote a report Australia needed on nuclear workforce requirements because it needed to be done.
We agreed on something else that needed to be done. Something so simple it's weird that it hadn't been done before: a straight-up comparison of how two zero-carbon options would perform against an identical, precisely defined task: the replacement of actual coal-fired baseload in South Australia. Could there be a clearer, more tangible, more relevant way to demonstrate the essential role of nuclear power than such a comparison?
Six-months, 15,000 words, dozens of drafts and two rounds of expert review later, the report is finished. It is clear, easy to follow and well-structured. It is well researched and comprehensive. It will look outstanding, and it offers this unique comparison of options into the public conversation. As this article goes live it is in the safe hands of Brown & Pang for graphic design, and I am preparing to launch it. That, we hope, is where you come in.
Everything to date has been our work, freely given. We were happy to move and make this report happen. But launching a report in a meaningful way requires funds that independent consultants lack. We need your help to take a big step in socialising the acceptance of nuclear power. To that end we are accepting pledges for the launch of Zero Carbon Options via crowd-funding site Pozible.
The launch will be held in Adelaide on Wednesday 5 December. Based virtually on word of mouth (no media, no advertising) nearly 60 tickets have been snapped up for this in the week since it was announced. We are providing written invitations to every sitting member of the South Australian parliament, as well as a full range of Federal and local Government identities. We will be issuing media releases and invitations, and several media opportunities are already lining up. After I present the findings of the report, peer reviewers Professor Barry Brook and author and BNC regular Mr Martin Nicholson will be joined by myself and Professor Doug Boreham from Canada for a moderated question-and-answer session. Attendees will receive a hard copy of the report.
I know we can use this report to take a big step toward socialising the acceptance of nuclear power in Australia. But we can't do it without you. Let's get the nuclear discussion right into the mainstream in 2013. Please make a pledge and help us launch Zero Carbon Options.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of sex offenses reported at American colleges and universities went up in the last decade even as overall campus crime decreased, according to an Education Department survey that also suggests high schools are safer than they used to be.
The report released Tuesday said 3,330 forcible sex offenses were reported on campuses in 2011, the latest data available for colleges and universities that researchers have analyzed. That was a 51 percent increase from the 2,200 reported a decade earlier. But the number of campus crimes in every other category, such as burglary and car theft, declined during the same period.
The annual survey primarily focuses on crime and safety at the nation's elementary and secondary schools, where fewer crimes were reported than 20 years ago, according to the report.
Of students ages 12-18, 52 per 1,000 reported being victims of a crime at school in 2012, compared with 181 per 1,000 in 1992, according to the report. Away from school that rate fell from 173 per 1,000 to 38. Males were more likely than females to be victims of crime, and students in urban and suburban areas were more likely than their rural counterparts to have experienced crime.
The report draws on data from different sources, including the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and campus surveys. That means data for some statistical categories were available for as recently as 2012, while others — such as for fatal violence in schools — were not.
At elementary and high schools, the report identified 31 homicides or suicides — though not necessarily of students — between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011, that occurred either on school grounds, on the way to or from school, or while attending or traveling to or from a school-sponsored event. During the 2010-11 school year, 11 school-age children were killed at school, and there were three reported suicides.
Though the 31 violent deaths for the year represent a sharp drop from the early 1990s, Tom Snyder of the National Center for Education Statistics, an Education Department center that collects and analyzes data, cautioned that it was hard to draw meaningful conclusions about any trend. The data were compiled, for instance, before the December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in which a gunman killed 20 students and six educators.
"If you look at the data, there's no real pattern. These are random acts of violence, and they don't seem to fall into patterns over time," Snyder said.
The report also briefly analyzes crime on campuses of colleges and universities. It finds that while the number of on-campus crimes reported to police rose from 41,600 in 2001 to 30,400 in 2011 at public and private two- and four-year schools.
The report is a joint publication of the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

FreeBSD Manual Pages
BOOT0CFG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOT0CFG(8) NAME boot0cfg -- boot manager installation/configuration utility SYNOPSIS boot0cfg [-Bv] [-b boot0] [-d drive] [-e bell character] [-f file] [-i volume-id] [-m mask] [-o options] [-s slice] [-t ticks] disk DESCRIPTION The FreeBSD `boot0' boot manager permits the operator to select from which disk and slice an i386 machine (PC) is booted. Note that what are referred to here as "slices" are typically called "partitions" in non-BSD documentation relating to the PC. Typically, only non-removable disks are sliced. The boot0cfg utility optionally installs the `boot0' boot manager on the specified disk; and allows various operational parameters to be config- ured. On PCs, a boot manager typically occupies sector 0 of a disk, which is known as the Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR contains both code (to which control is passed by the PC BIOS) and data (an embedded table of defined slices). The options are: -B Install the `boot0' boot manager. This option causes MBR code to be replaced, without affecting the embedded slice table. -b boot0 Specify which `boot0' image to use. The default is /boot/boot0 which will use the video card as output, alternatively /boot/boot0sio can be used for output to the COM1 port. (Be aware that nothing will be output to the COM1 port unless the mo- dem signals DSR and CTS are active.) -d drive Specify the drive number used by the PC BIOS in referencing the drive which contains the specified disk. Typically this will be 0x80 for the first hard drive, 0x81 for the second hard drive, and so on; however any integer between 0 and 0xff is acceptable here. -e bell character Set the character to be printed in case of input error. -f file Specify that a backup copy of the preexisting MBR should be writ- ten to file. This file is created if it does not exist, and re- placed if it does. -i volume-id Specifies a volume-id (in the form XXXX-XXXX) to be saved at lo- cation 0x1b8 in the MBR. This information is sometimes used by NT, XP and Vista to identify the disk drive. The option is only compatible with version 2.00 of the 512-byte boot block. -m mask Specify slices to be enabled/disabled, where mask is an integer between 0 (no slices enabled) and 0xf (all four slices enabled). Each mask bit enables corresponding slice if set to 1. The least significant bit of the mask corresponds to slice 1, the most sig- nificant bit of the mask corresponds to slice 4. -o options A comma-separated string of any of the following options may be specified (with "no" prepended as necessary): packet Use the disk packet (BIOS INT 0x13 extensions) interface, as opposed to the legacy (CHS) interface, when doing disk I/O. This allows booting above cylinder 1023, but re- quires specific BIOS support. The default is `packet'. setdrv Forces the drive containing the disk to be referenced us- ing drive number definable by means of the -d option. The default is `nosetdrv'. update Allow the MBR to be updated by the boot manager. (The MBR may be updated to flag slices as `active', and to save slice selection information.) This is the default; a `noupdate' option causes the MBR to be treated as read- only. -s slice Set the default boot selection to slice. Values between 1 and 4 refer to slices; a value of 5 refers to the option of booting from a second disk. The special string "PXE" or a value of 6 can be used to boot via PXE. -t ticks Set the timeout value to ticks. (There are approximately 18.2 ticks per second.) -v Verbose: display information about the slices defined, etc. FILES /boot/boot0 The default `boot0' image /boot/boot0sio Image for serial consoles (COM1,9600,8,N,1,MODEM) EXIT STATUS The boot0cfg utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. EXAMPLES To boot slice 2 on the next boot: boot0cfg -s 2 ada0 To enable just slices 1 and 3 in the menu: boot0cfg -m 0x5 ada0 To go back to non-interactive booting, use gpart(8) to install the de- fault MBR: gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ada0 SEE ALSO geom(4), boot(8), gpart(8) AUTHORS Robert Nordier <firstname.lastname@example.com>. BUGS Use of the `packet' option may cause `boot0' to fail, depending on the nature of BIOS support. Use of the `setdrv' option with an incorrect -d operand may cause the boot0 code to write the MBR to the wrong disk, thus trashing its previous content. Be careful. BSD October 1, 2013 BSD

INDICATIONS: Prophylaxis of rheumatic fever and carriers of beta-hemolytic streptococcus, rheumatic heart disease, glomerulonephritis, recurrent tonsillitis, syphilis in its various stages.Pharmacokinetics HUMAN benzathine benzylpenicillin exerts its bactericidal activity by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.It is very active against streptococci of groups A, C, G, H, L, M, pneumococci, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Bacillus anthracis, Actinomyces bovis, Clostridium, Streptobacillus moniliform, Leptospira, Listeria monocytogenes and Treponema pallidum which is very sensitive to action of penicillin G benzathine, not active against penicillinase-producing bacteria.Penicillin G benzathine, BENCELIN * is acting as it keeps prolonged therapeutic serum levels. Is administered intramuscularly slowly absorbed, providing a constant level over a long period.Their maximum serum concentration observed in the first 24 hours after application, persisting until 4 weeks, depending on the dose.Approximately 60% of penicillin binds to plasma proteins, is distributed in all tissues in varying amounts.The highest concentrations are found in kidney, and are lower in liver, skin and intestine, penetrates to a lesser extent in other tissues and in cerebrospinal fluid, and is almost completely eliminated by the kidneys.CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not administer to patients with history of allergy to penicillin or infections resistant germs, must not be used near a nerve or artery.Special Precautions: Penicillin should be used with caution in individuals with a history of allergy to cephalosporins especially in those who have asthma. The use of any antibiotic, especially in large doses and for prolonged periods can result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, making it necessary to frequently check the patients.Whenever allergic reactions occur, penicillin was discontinued at the discretion of the physician, who shall institute the correct treatment of the same.In streptococcal infections, treatment should eradicate the organism, otherwise there could be sequelae of streptococcal disease, so they should make the crop takes a timely manner after completing the antibiotic treatment.RESTRICTIONS OF USE DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING BENCELIN * can be used during pregnancy and lactation only if there is an indication for their use and after having assessed the risk-benefit, because it crosses the placenta and is excreted milk.ADVERSE REACTIONS: Penicillin is a drug with very low toxicity, however, has a significant degree of sensitivity whose reactions may range from urticaria to anaphylaxis.Other infrequent reactions related to high doses can be: Hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, neuropathy and nephropathy.During treatment for syphilis have been reported cases of Jarisch-Herxheimer.DRUG INTERACTIONS AND OTHER GENDER: Aspirin and phenylbutazone increase the effect of penicillin decrease the plasma protein binding.The effect of penicillin is decreased when administered with erythromycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or neomycin.Probenecid increases from 3 to 5 times the blood level of penicillin, because it inhibits the tubular active transport mechanism thereof.Penicillin can increase the power of anticoagulants.CHANGES IN RESULTS OF LABORATORY TESTS determinations of urine glucose tests when performed by the method of Fehling (copper sulfate) may give false-positive results.PRECAUTIONS IN RELATION TO EFFECTS Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: Although penicillin crosses the placenta, no effects have been reported mutagenesis or teratogenesis, no effects have been reported carcinogenicity or fertility.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Intramuscular.In adults for prophylaxis of hemolytic streptococcal infections in patients with rheumatic fever: 1'200, 000 IU every 3 weeks.Where primary, secondary, or latent: A single application of 2.4 million units.In case of late syphilis or neurosyphilis: 2.4 million units every 7 days repeated application 2 more times for a total of 7.2 million units of penicillin.MANIFESTATIONS AND MANAGEMENT OF OVERDOSE OR ACCIDENTAL INGESTION: Because it has a high therapeutic index, no cases of overdose reported to date.Usually, the penicillins are minimal direct toxicity to man. However, the viscous nature of the suspension of benzathine penicillin may cause any of the neurovascular effects for which treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. No reported cases of overdosage with BENCELIN *.In case of mild or moderate allergic controlled with antihistamines, if necessary corticosteroids are used parenterally. Anaphylactic reactions are emergency medicine, immediate treatment is required, preferably in a hospital setting, and the administration of epinephrine 1:1,000, theophylline, intravenous corticosteroids and supportive measures such as control of the airway, if necessary intubando and oxygen administration.PRESENTATION: Box with vial with 1'200, 000 IU vial with 5 mL of diluent.Drug Name: Bencelin combinadoComparable patent medicine: BenzetacilActive substance: Benzathine benzylpenicillinPresentation: Injectable SunConcentration: 1,200,000 UProlonged release tablets: NoLaboratory: AMSA, Inc. de CVBox with vial with powder and vialWith diluent 5mlMade in Mexico

Clear favorites emerged weeks ago. Numerous film organizations have hinted at, nearly shouted out, which names and titles will be announced March 2. And the Internet is awash with opinions and odds-making.
But unlike Oscar competitions in the past, the real nail-biter this time comes with the ultimate prize, the best picture contest, where three films appear to be neck-and-neck-and-neck. Then again, even when you think you have Oscar figured out, expect a fender-bender of a surprise. ("Crash," anyone?)
Here's a rundown on who we think will and should win in key categories.
Nominees: "American Hustle," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Gravity," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," "12 Years a Slave," "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Whittling it down: "Phillips" rocked our boats in some ways, but there's zero wind in its awards sails. We bought into "Dallas Buyers Club" more for the acting than the storytelling. "Her" ponders modern techie conundrums, as did "Social Network," and look what that did for director David Fincher and company. "Nebraska" looked fab in black and white, but let's face it, as a film, it's not as richly hued as other competitors. If the polarizing "Wolf" wins expect (bleepin') anarchy in the streets. While "Philomena" is a strong little drama, let's put emphasis on where it's deserved, as in "little." "Fruitvale Station" should be occupying that slot, anyway. So it comes down to three: David O. Russell's pop-tart confection featuring '70s dreamers with bad hair and distracting cleavage ("Hustle"), a two, er, one-person space odyssey ("Gravity") and a bruising historical slap to the face about American slavery ("12 Years a Slave").
What will win: "12 Years a Slave." Voters might reject it as being too cruel and just too relentless, but Oscar tends to favor history over space journeys and Scorsese-lite dramas. Then again …
What should win: "12 Years a Slave." I'd be satisfied if "Gravity" or "Hustle" took top honors, but "12 Years a Slave" is the most powerful film of this bunch, with individual moments (Solomon Northrup hanging and gasping from a tree while children play nearby) that I will never, ever forget.
Nominees: Christian Bale ("American Hustle"), Bruce Dern ("Nebraska"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave"), Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club")Whittling it down: Bale sported a potbelly and a bad hairpiece and pulled off an amazing DeNiro impression to play Irving Rosenfeld (based on a real-life character) in "Hustle," but he won recently for getting gaunt in "The Fighter." Dern was perfection as a taciturn man with a one-track lottery mind, but Oscar won't hand him a winning ticket. DiCaprio came out blazin' as fast-talkin' swindler Jordan Belfort, who was living the really high life until things came crashing down. And if you want to see the horrors of slavery reflected in anyone's eyes, just see what Ejiofor accomplished as Solomon Northrup. And then there's McConaughey, who dropped 47 pounds and shed his hunky image to play Ron Woodroof, a homophobic Texan who gets HIV and takes on the medical establishment.
Who Will Win: McConaughey. Written off as a lazy performer in brainless romantic comedies, he's had a stunning rebirth. His chances are bolstered due to a glorious year, with other award-worthy turns in "Mud" and "The Wolf of Wall Street." Plus, Oscar can't contain itself when hot-looking performers mess with their good looks. (Charlize Theron, anyone?)
Who should win: As good as McConaughey was, and no matter how high a bar DiCaprio just set for the rest his career, Ejiofor pulled off the most demanding and difficult performance in this group. He made us feel every ounce of blood, sweat and tears of a free black man who is mercilessly subjected to the cruelty of other men and women. And that final scene rips your heart out. Amazing.
Nominees: Amy Adams ("American Hustle"), Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), Sandra Bullock ("Gravity"), Judi Dench ("Philomena"), Meryl Streep ("August: Osage County")
Whittling it down: If you can get beyond the cleavage (some can't), there's yet another alluring and sexy performance from Adams. But it won't be her year. The luminous Cate Blanchett delivered one of the decade's most seamless performances as Jasmine, a coming undone socialite subjected to life in San Francisco (but, really, Woody Allen, the city is much smarter than you portray it). "Gravity" was a one-woman show (sorry, George Clooney), and Bullock brought humanity and likability to a role that required her to play off special effects. If you seek to witness elegant acting, watch Dench as a mom searching for her lost son. Should you prefer an avalanche of histrionics, check out Streep's take-no-prisoners work as Violet, a mean momma with cancer in "August."
Who will win: Blanchett. She's a lock.
Who should win: Blanchett. Acting doesn't get much better than this performance.
Nominees: Barkhad Abdi ("Captain Phillips"), Bradley Cooper ("American Hustle"), Michael Fassbender ("12 Years a Slave"), Jonah Hill ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Jared Leto ("Dallas Buyers Club")
Whittling it down: Former limo driver Abdi made waves as Somali pirate Abduwali in "Captain," but he'll have to be content with just being along for the awards ride this year. Cooper looked dandy in curlers, but his vain and ambitious "Hustle" FBI agent Richie DiMaso didn't require too much of an acting stretch. As the tortured and torturing Edwin Epps, a plantation owner with insecurities aplenty, Fassbender added depth and dimension to what could have been a one-note role. Hill surprised everyone by copping a nomination as DiCaprio's geeky cohort in "Wolf." But he stands no chance. Leto inhabited the role of his transgender character Rayon, making her complex and multidimensional.
Who will win: Leto. Not only did the rocker and actor drop a lot of weight (again, Oscar worships that), he never overplayed or overdramatized Rayon. It was one of the year's most remarkable transformations.
Who should win: This is a tough call, but I'd narrowly give the edge to Fassbender over Leto. It's an unforgettable and incendiary performance, one that's shaded enough to create one of the most pathetic and despicable characters you'll ever find on film.
Nominees: Sally Hawkins ("Blue Jasmine"), Jennifer Lawrence ("American Hustle"), Lupita Nyong'o ("12 Years a Slave"), Julia Roberts ("August: Osage County"), June Squibb ("Nebraska")
Whittling it down: Although her messy, bra-strap showing Ginger seemed more New York than Frisco, Hawkins was a gas. The forever-hot Lawrence could get a follow-up Oscar for creating such a kooky Rosalyn, a deluded con-artist wife with microwave issues and half-baked intentions. Nyong'o came out of nowhere and nailed every harrowing scene as the feisty Patsey in "Slave." Roberts gave one of her strongest performances as a dour daughter who not only started picking up bad traits from Momma but forcefully demanded the eating of fish. But all that plate smashing will do her no good. And Squibb was a fireplug as fed-up wife Kate Grant in "Nebraska," a role that upon closer inspection is hysterical but not overly nuanced.
Who will win: Nyong'o. Initially, it seemed like Lawrence had a lock, but her support has been waning of late.
Who should win: Nyong'o. Her Patsey endures countless acts of cruelty and remains a survivor. Even in "Slave's" quieter moments, when Nyong'o isn't at the center of a scene, her actions and reactions speak volumes about who her character is.
The nominees: Alfonso Cuaron ("Gravity"), Steve McQueen ("12 Years a Slave"), Alexander Payne ("Nebraska"), David O. Russell ("American Hustle"), Martin Scorsese ("The Wolf of Wall Street")
Whittling it down: Cuaron made something revolutionary with the wizardry of his space odyssey. McQueen gave us a shattering history lesson you didn't read in textbooks. Payne took us on a cheeky Midwest tour. Russell gave us big hair, big dreams and a rambling movie. Scorsese rankled the rank and file with his vulgar and sensational "Wolf."
Who will win: Cuaron. The hypnotic 17-minute shot at the beginning nearly clinches the deal. Beyond that, the movie is executed to perfection.
Who should win: Cuaron. Most directors couldn't even imagine making "Gravity," let alone pull it off. It is a monumental directorial feat from beginning to end.

I wish I could say I had no words to describe the utter stupidity and insanity you've displayed. But oh, do I have words.
You scum-sucking vermin. You cretinous, moronic little monsters. You have no idea how much I fucking hate you. SO MUCH HATE.
Mr. Weebles said it best yesterday: You have no interest in serving the American people; you're interested only in serving your own selfish agendas, inflicting your own ideologies on everyone, and screwing over the guys on the other side of the aisle. That goes for all of you, not just those of you whom I've targeted before.
And for you small-minded, bigoted bastards who will do anything to thwart any and all policies the president initiated—I know most of you are THIS CLOSE to calling Obama "Boy." You should all become Satan's girlfriends in Hell.
You can't come to an agreement to keep the government running? Then you're not doing your fucking jobs. So why can't we eject all of you from your cushy little seats? I want to stop paying taxes. I want to fire all of you. I want to see all of you rot.
So many people depend on the government for their income, their livelihoods, and so much more. You've made it patently obvious that you don't truly care about any of them. And all you mean-spirited jackals can do is puff out your chests and bloviate. Fuck you.
If you actually cared about your country, about the American people, you would have gotten it done. You didn't. You should be fucking fired. All of you. Choke on those furloughs, motherfuckers.
As for you, John Boehner, fuck you especially for saying, "The American people don't want Obamacare." Is that a fact? Did you interview every single American citizen? I'm quite certain you did not. You may be Speaker of the House but you absolutely do not speak for the American people, you demonic pus-filled slimeball.
Children would do a better job of running the government than you people. Even the kids from Lord of the Flies would do a better job. They're not nearly as petty as you troglodytic* half-wits. Blow me.
You could have come to an agreement. You could have found some ground on which to compromise. But you all let your personal interests and your hatred of the other party blind you to the all-important fact that YOU WORK FOR US.
You failed. Miserably. I wish we could charge you with criminal negligence and throw all your sorry asses in jail. I cordially invite all of you to fuck yourselves as hard as possible.
*Apologies to actual troglodytes. You're probably smarter.
This Fuck You Rant was inspired by the government shutdown, and also by my friend Rants. If you haven't read his stellar screed on Congress, you should do so right fucking now.

35 Best Holiday Desserts
Fabulous Red Velvet Cake
We gussied up chocolate cake mix with sour cream and red food coloring for this festive cake. Then, we crowned the holiday dessert with a white chocolate-cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut.
Sugar Cookies Like You Remember
Nutmeg lends unmistakable holiday flavor to these puffy, old-fashioned cut-out cookies. They do spread a bit, so don't use this recipe for delicate shapes. It's best-suited for circles, bells and the like.
Frozen Raspberry Pistachio Terrine
Don't be fooled by appearances. This dessert couldn't be easier. Vanilla ice cream, pistachios and crisp purchased meringues match wits with a triple threat of raspberry sorbet, jam and fresh fruit. Such an effortlessly glamorous dessert shouldn't taste this good.
Chocolate Cream Pie
The filling of this chocolate-crust pie is luscious, but not too rich. (Think old-fashioned chocolate pudding.) A bit of sour cream in the whipped topping balances the chocolate perfectly.
Chocolate Truffles
Using an easy method from Pete's Chocolate Co. in Detroit, you can make a dazzling array of rich, creamy chocolate truffles. (Note: The yield varies depending if you use bittersweet, milk or white chocolate, so read the recipe carefully before starting. And know that you can double it if desired.)
White Christmas Peppermint Layer Cake
Fanciful pink peppermint frosting and snowy cake layers will brighten any holiday party. To decorate, choose between simple candy adornments (pictured) or whimsical white-chocolate trees.
White Christmas Peppermint Layer Cake recipe
Red Velvet Cheesecake
We took the red velvet cake that we love and gave it a creamy twist. Don't let the red color fool you: The flavor of this holiday dessert is all chocolate.
Nutella Cherry Hazelnut Fudge
Chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella) gives this fudge a smooth texture and luscious nutty flavor. The recipe comes from Annie Marshall of the Indianapolis-based blog Everyday Annie.
Raspberry Truffles
These five-ingredient truffles come together in a snap. Blending jam into the chocolate makes for a subtle fruit flavor perfectly balancing the rich, smooth chocolate. The recipe comes from Annie Marshall of the Indianapolis-based blog Everyday Annie.
Cafe Latte's Turtle Cake
In 1985, Cafe Latte in Saint Paul created the Turtle Cake that's still on the menu today. It's a moist, rich, three-layer wonder. The cake layers are dark chocolate frosted with rich fudge and caramel and topped with a generous garnish of giant pecans.
Eggnog Cheesecake Bars
A spiced graham cracker crust and bourbon-infused egg nog filling give these simple bars a delicious holiday twist. The recipe comes from Annie Marshall of the Indianapolis-based blog Everyday Annie.
Peppermint Brownie Pie
This rich blend of two favorite holiday flavors—chocolate and mint—might start a new dessert tradition in your house. Can't find the mint-flavored pieces? Use regular chocolate chips and add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract to the batter.
Baby Citrus Cheesecakes
These cupcake-size treats are a fantastically simple alternative to a full-size cheesecake. You could also garnish them with fresh raspberries or blueberries.
Oreo Truffles
These easy candies look elegant but are simple to make. This holiday dessert recipe comes from the Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls in Logan, Ohio.
Peppermint Stick Brownies
A creamy, peppermint-flavor cheesecake layer adds holiday flair to classic chocolate brownies.
Orange-Ginger Cookie Sandwiches
A round cookie cutter with scalloped edges makes a nice shape for these cookies, but bell, tree or star cutters would also be good choices for the holidays.
Roasted Pears with Lemon Cream and Candied Pine Nuts
This grand finale of a dessert features maple-burnished pears, drifts of lemony whipped cream and a sprinkling of candied pine nuts. It's all about contrasts—warm and cool, creamy and crunchy, sweet and tart. And best of all, all three components can be made ahead of time.
Fantasy Chocolate Pie
Dream about all the ingredients you'd like to see in a dessert, and you'll see why we named this Fantasy Chocolate Pie. This holiday dessert recipe includes three kinds of chocolate pieces (milk chocolate, semisweet and semisweet-and-white-chocolate swirled)—plus coconut, pecans and almonds. For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream and chocolate curls.
White Chocolate Christmas Fudge
This five-ingredient fudge is simplicity, squared: Just melt, stir, spread, cool and cut. We love seeing festive flecks of orange zest in the fudge, but substituting orange-flavored dried cranberries will have a similar taste.
Holiday Seven-Layer Bars
Chocolate, nuts, coconut and more fill our easy-to-make bar cookies. Mixed dried fruit bits and candy-coated milk chocolate pieces are among the layers that make this bar cookie distinctive.
Triple Peanut Butter Streusel Bars
Dry-roasted peanuts, peanut butter-flavored pieces and peanut butter bring triple flavor to this make-ahead bar cookie.
Golden Toffee Nuggets
Dipping toffee pieces halfway in chocolate is way tidier and easier than fully coating them—and the result is more striking, visually. (We recommend melting chopped good-quality chocolate bars for dipping—chips have additives that affect their consistency.) For undeniable holiday wow, brush on some edible gold luster dust. It's a splurge, but applying it thinly with a paintbrush helps avoid waste.
Eggnog Sugar Cookies
The eggnog flavor in these buttery cutouts comes from nutmeg and rum extract; it's subtle enough to be a pleasant twist on classic holiday sugar cookies without being overpowering. The recipe comes from the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Chicago, which hosts an annual cookie swap.
Poppy Seed Torte
The recipe for this four-layer cake—with a puddinglike filling, unmistakable poppy seed flavor and soft whipped cream frosting—comes from Wisconsin's White Gull Inn.
Caramel Heavenlies
Graham crackers form the base for this bar cookie with layers of marshmallows, brown sugar, almonds and coconut. "I've made these cookies each Christmas since 1984," says Georgine Simmonds of Genesee, Michigan. "They're one of my family's favorites."
Double Chocolate-Espresso Truffle Pie
Do you have a chocoholic in your family? Give them something to love with this über-rich pie. For pretty chocolate curls, warm a bar of milk chocolate in your pocket or hand, then shave with a sharp vegetable peeler.
Coffee Bean Meltaways
If you've ever made butter mints, you'll recognize this no-cook powdered sugar mixture. The coffee flavor comes from instant espresso powder, which is widely available online and at specialty stores. It's richer and better-tasting than ordinary instant coffee.
Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes
Top these gooey-center, intense chocolate desserts with powdered sugar.
Chocolate Peppermint Pinwheels
These cookies are easier than they look —make one batch of dough, divide it in half, and blend cocoa into one portion and crushed candy canes and peppermint extract into the other. The recipe comes from the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, which hosts an annual cookie swap.
Caramel Almond Stars
These playful candies are sort of a mock turtle—all the texture and flavor minus the homemade caramel or fussy dipping. Sprinkle with Wilton's gold star sprinkles (sold online) or coarse sparkling sugar. For a flavor twist, substitute roasted, salted almonds or even smoked almonds.
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Chicago's MK the Restaurant used an English tradition as inspiration for this molasses-date holiday dessert with honey-toffee sauce. Buttery toffee originated in England, but a Robinson, Illinois, company named Heath launched an empire when it began making toffee commercially in 1914.
Sea Salt Caramels
Caramels made in the microwave? Absolutely! And the only gear you need is a candy thermometer. Be sure to use coarse salt so it doesn't melt into the candies.
Pistachio Cranberry Icebox Cookies
These cookies from the Inn at Cedar Falls in Logan, Ohio, make a colorful treat anytime of year.
Cranberry-Orange Cheesecake
This dazzler from Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, tastes as good as it looks. The dark chocolate cookie crust and ruby red berries add dramatic flair to the orange-flavor filling. Because the cake keeps well for two days, this is a great make-ahead dessert.
Gooey Pecan Pie Bars
These sweet, nutty and oh-so-buttery bars are a guaranteed showstopper on any cookie tray.
Peppermint Marshmallows
Homemade marshmallows are infinitely superior to store-bought—creamy and almost melt-in-your mouth soft. And peppermint is just one variation. In the baking aisle, find extracts like lemon, raspberry and cinnamon to customize your own marshmallows. The power of a stand mixer eases prep of this recipe, though a hand mixer works well.
Dark Chocolate Almond Brittle
Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman of the blog A Beautiful Mess share this sinfully good holiday candy recipe. Adding almond butter makes the candy a bit softer and more flaky than traditional brittle.

After trying to interfere on Teddy Roosevelt's behalf for the second day in a row, Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth made clear his intentions.
"If Teddy can't win, no one wins," Werth said in the postgame press conference Saturday at Nationals Park, adding "I must be the last remaining member of the Bull Moose party, I guess."
On whether Saturday's ambush was planned, Werth said "I can't really comment. When you stage a coup, it's better to keep it quiet."
Will the Nationals finally heed Werth's wishes and let the team start the 2012 season without Teddy's curse hanging over them?
"Let's just say it's Teddy Roosevelt's last stand of the Rough Riders," Werth said.
Sunday is their last chance this season to break the curse. What better gift on Fan Appreciation Day?

Three waitresses at an Illinois restaurant say they could only stare in disbelief when a woman over the weekend handed them each a $5,000 check. The owner of the Boone County Family Restaurant in Caledonia, Matt Nebiu, said business was slow Saturday when the customer handed checks to 25-year-old Amy Sabani, 23-year-old Sarah Seckinger and 28-year-old Amber Kariolich. Sabani told the
she first thought her check was for $500. But on closer inspection she saw its actual value and refused to take it. Sabani said the woman told the waitresses to use the money for school and 'everything else in life.' 'You put that in your pocket,' the woman said. 'God sent me here to help you.' Seckinger says a last semester to earn her associate degree in criminal justice was too expensive, but she will now return to school.
