Sips From the Well

St. Teresa of Avila and Water - an article by Sr. Margaret Dorgan, DCM

"I AM SO FOND OF THIS ELEMENT"

Water in its purest form has no odor or taste and is wonderfully transparent. Of all the liquids on planet earth, it is the most abundant. It can solidify into ice and is present to us in differing quantities in the air we breathe. It is a dominant component in the physical bodies of animate creatures. St. Teresa of Avila, the 16 th century Carmelite nun who is one of Christianity's foremost mystical writers, did not know the scientific analysis of water. But she recognized its importance in human living and decided to employ it as an image for prayer.

"I don't find anything more appropriate to explain some spiritual experiences than water; and this is because I am so fond of this element that I have observed it more attentively than other things," she wrote in her last major work The Interior Castle (IV, Ch 2:2). Why did she choose water? Partly because the nuns in her monasteries were 80 percent illiterate and she wanted to make sure they would understand what she was saying. Today we would consider Teresa's own education very deficient, but in her time it was relatively advanced for a woman. Describing spiritual experience in terms of water to her nuns assured her they would readily grasp the teaching. Teresa so favored the example of water that she also used it when recording her personal prayer development for well-educated clergy in the earlier Book of Her Life.

Turning her pages, you see how she wants to approach her readers just where they are. She invites them to nod in agreement as she lays the foundation for her presentation based on their encounters with water. The busy Carmelite writes rapidly, not bothering to pause for capitals or periods. Her spiritual instructions, in the form we now have them, required male editors with more grammatical expertise than she possessed. They inserted the punctuation.

'Clearing' Kurram: What Pakistan's Army Didn't Do in Kurram Agency
By Daud Khattak

AFPAK Channel, Foreign Policy magazine

On Aug. 18, Pakistan's most powerful man, Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, secretly flew to Kurram agency in the country's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and declared it free of "miscreants."

No doubt the Pakistani Army did a great job clearing militants from Central Kurram, the focus of the operation, as it did in areas like the Swat Valley. But Kayani's visit and announcement raise the following question: What do "clear" and "miscreants" mean for a Pakistani Army fighting to regain control of the area from a discreet force that can shift, hit, kill, and target anywhere, any place, and any time? And if the area had been successfully cleared, why did Kayani not travel by road, and why did he not meet the open jirgas of tribal elders in that area, as was the tradition when top Pakistani officials visited the tribal belt before 2001?

Indeed, it would have been great fun if Kayani had taken the governor of Khyber-Puktunkhwa province (the federal government figure who is actually in charge of administering the FATA) along with him, traveling by road to the "cleared" area so that the youth of Kurram could welcome them with the beating of drums and traditional dance, attan, instead of welcoming Kayani's visit from afar while begging him to finish the job and lift the siege on Kurram's main city, Parachinar. Only then would the people of Kurram come to believe that their area had truly been secured.

Fashion Incubator » Blog Archive » What does a 1″ or 2″ grade mean?

Posted by Kathleen Fasanella on Jan 12, 2012 at 4:33 pm / Designers must know, Fit and Sizing, Grading / Trackback

A funny thing happened on the way to writing a follow up post to Pop Quiz: grading necklines -and as it has come up before, I thought to dispense with it for once and all time. Namely, what do we mean when we say we have a 1 or 2 inch grade (or however much)? This is not so easily summarized because it seems ambiguous if one doesn't understand the underlying references. I'll try to explain the primary tenets of grades which are:

1. A grade describes sizing changes for the major fitting attribute only.
2. Application of the grade is proportionate.
3. Grading is a logarithmic scale. Or should be.

Defines major fitting attribute: Generally, when we say something has a 1″ grade, we mean that the major or defining attribute of the garment will grow or shrink that amount. If the item is a blouse, it is understood that the bust measure will grow or shrink 1″. If the item is a pant, it is understood that either waist or hip is the primary fitting attribute. It is also possible they both are, it depends on the company.

Crawdad's Classics Product Review | GrillinFools

In the last few weeks and months, a new supplier of rubs, seasonings and hot sauces known as Crawdad's Classics Gourmet Flavorings has been popping up all over the place in St. Louis and the Midwest in general.  This is a crowded market to try to break into, but they have done so with some great products.  My favorite I will be reviewing here – Crawmama's Gourmet Dipping sauce. I know the logo above is Crawdad's, but this is another product line of theirs that is outstanding.

The fist time I had heard of them was at a Blues game a couple weeks ago when I saw a sign over the condiments station that read, "Try a real 'hot' dog," and the logo for Crawdad's Classics.  Being a hot sauce junkie, I obliged and slathered my hotdog with the sauce. It was great.  It had nice kick but didn't knock me over. I hate spicy stuff that is so spicy I can't taste what I put it on.  What's the point of that? And it doesn't hurt to be the official hot sauce of both the St. Louis Blues and the St. Louis Cardinals to make me a fan.
