Stores all your shoes conveniently and safely in one secure place.Vend-A-Shu is a vending machine designed for home use, and made for housing and organizing a multitude of shoes or boots. It would be great for residences where storage space is limited. This would be constructed in a similar manner to a food vending machine, with multiple compartments labeled for each shoe or boot. The shoe selection would be made via a computer program specifically developed for the Vend-A-Shu. The compartments would be rectangular in shape, and would store two pairs of shoes or boots in each box. To operate the software from your computer, you would first select the footwear to be stored in the system, then photograph each shoe for use with the software. You would select the box within the Vend-A-Shu machine and assign the certain shoe to it. The shoes are placed in the box assigned, until all shoes or boots are in the machine. The user would input a description of each shoe into the computer program. Televised test marketing has been completed indicating strong consumer interest in Vend-A-Shu.

The Patent Pending Vend-A-Shu was invented by Erica Pierre, of Aurora, IL, who said, "This will provide a more convenient, accessible means of storing, maintaining, and accessing your footwear. "

'Lovebirds' review: Gomez makes a village

$
0
0
Honed by Gomez and her frequent collaborator, director David Schweizer, in public workshop runs last year, here and in New York, the Marsh world premiere is a lightly satiric feast of hilariously etched characters in an intricate web of love, longing and life. Phillie's photo flashes take us back to a time when Polaroids, open lesbianism and women's studies were the new wave in the Village. In a clever move - or eloquent series of moves - Gomez introduces earnest, anxious, newly emerging lesbian Barbara Ramirez through the eyes and moves of boisterously macho Turkey, coming on hard at a local disco. Before long, Barbara - now called Dahlia - is trying to shed the possessive Turkey and her "hetero-normative" gender notions for the love of her witchy New York University women's studies teacher, Aurora. Best of all is her depiction of Aurora's nemesis, the paternalistic professor Richard Richards - stifling yawns, struggling to keep his eyes open and doggedly maintaining the train of his argument that nobody needs more than 45 minutes of sleep per day.

Death penalty debate aims to give public voice to Church

Boulder, Colo., Jan 26, 2014 / 06:05 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The Aquinas Institute for Catholic Thought will host a debate at the University of Colorado next week on the use of the death penalty in the U.S., demonstrating the Church's desire for dialogue.

“We're showing that the Church has something to say about the common good in society as a whole, and we really want to be a voice in that public debate,” Scott Powell, director of scriptural theology at St. Thomas Aquinas parish in Boulder and one of the event's organizers, told CNA Jan. 23.

“We do 'The Great Debate' every year around the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, who had a long tradition of engaging in public debate at universities on important issues of the time,” he explained.

This year's debate, being held Jan. 31, is the seventh annual Great Debate; it will be between Dr. E Christian Kopff, founder of the University of Colorado Honors Program, arguing in favor of the death penalty in the U.S., and Msgr. Stuart Swetland, professor of ethics at Mount St. Mary's University, arguing against.

The debate is “in the spirit of hospitality and fairness,” Powell said, and is meant “to include the Catholic voice in a secular university; we're really trying to represent the Church well.”

Past debate topics have included abortion, the nature of marriage, and government intervention in the economy. Capital punishment was chosen as this year's theme because “many people are asking the question,” Powell explained.

The issue is expected to play a role in Colorado's next gubernatorial race, and the issue has been raised in the upcoming trial of an inmate who killed a correctional officer and in the trial of James Holmes, the Aurora movie theater shooter; national attention focused on capital punishment with the Jan. 22 execution of Edgar Tamayo by the state of Texas.

“People have very strong feelings” on the issue, Powell said, “and I don't think many people know exactly where the Church lands on it … it's not as black and white as some we've done in the past.”

Church teaching has traditionally permitted the use of capital punishment; in his own work defending the Church against non-Christians, St. Thomas Aquinas said “the evil … may be justly executed.”

Yet in his 1995 encyclical “Evangelium Vitae,” Bl. John Paul II said that today, cases in which the death penalty may be justly utilized “are very rare, if not practically non-existent.”

Msgr. Swetland, a priest of the Peoria diocese, holds a doctorate of theology from the Pontifical Lateran University, and will argue the position expressed by the late Roman Pontiff. Powell said the priest has published on the topic, and is “doing a lot of work at the moment on this topic, and working with the Vatican on whether or not (capital punishment) might be an issue of development of doctrine – whether this might be a place for that.”

Kopff, meanwhile, is an associate professor of classics, in which he earned his doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The conservative thinker, a Lutheran, advocates for classical education and is “very versed in Aquinas, and Catholic teaching” on the issue, and is “well known” in Boulder for his defense of the death penalty.

With the debate, the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Thought is trying “to show the university, and Boulder at large, that the Catholic Church is serious about having intelligent and respectful debates about things that we know that we disagree about.”

Powell explained that it important to neither present the Catholic position by banging it over others heads, nor “circling the wagons” and refusing to dialogue with the society at large.

“We really want to engage the broader culture, and the university culture.” Reported by CNA 7 hours ago.

Shooting at Mall in Columbia, Maryland Happened in 'Gun Free Zone'

Shooting at Mall in Columbia, Maryland Happened in 'Gun Free Zone' The "Code of Conduct" for the Mall in Columbia, Maryland where a fatal shooting took place Saturday includes a prohibition on the possession of "firearms." 

In other words, the site of what the Daily Mail described as a January 25th "murder-suicide" did not allow guns on its premises. 

This meant law-abiding citizens could in no way defend themselves when 19-year-old Darion Marcus Aquilar brought his 12-gauge shotgun into the mall to carry out his heinous deed. FOX 45 Baltimore reports that the shotgun used by Aquilar was legally purchased at a store in Montgomery County in December.

This also means the murder-suicide at the Mall in Columbia joins the list of so many other incidents in gun-free zones in the past few years: horrible attacks like the ones at Ft Hood, the Aurora theater, Sandy Hook Elementary, and the DC Navy Yard, where guns were used to kill innocents in gun-free zones.

As Breitbart News reported on September 17th,  gun-free zones are just "mass shootings waiting to happen." 

Gun-free zones encourage what some of the nation's more stringent gun control laws are unable to stop.
