The Institution of the Eucharist and the institution of the Priesthood. I have two concerns: While the world is reeling from excessive planning and overscheduling..... I hear countless confessions of people who are slaves to their calendars. I pray that not happen to you. Please, please, please, tell me Fr. Roderick that you "fogged it" when you gave your schedule and you did not mention daily celebration of Holy Mass. What good all the other work if the Eucharist is not celebrated on a daily basis.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide said. He was 90.

Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s and sometimes used a wheelchair, died at 1:30 a.m. after suffering breathing problems, aide Rohan De Silva said.

Co-author with Stanley Kubrick of Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Clarke was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer.

He was credited with the concept of communications satellites in 1945, decades before they became a reality. Geosynchronous orbits, which keep satellites in a fixed position relative to the ground, are called Clarke orbits.

He joined American broadcaster Walter Cronkite as commentator on the U.S. Apollo moonshots in the late 1960s.

Clarke’s non-fiction volumes on space travel and his explorations of the Great Barrier Reef and Indian Ocean earned him respect in the world of science, and in 1976 he became an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

But it was his writing that shot him to his greatest fame and that gave him the greatest fulfillment.

“Sometimes I am asked how I would like to be remembered,” Clarke said recently. “I have had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer and space promoter. Of all these I would like to be remembered as a writer.”

And of course iTunes TV shows are also restricted only the the US. I would love if I could get the TV episodes that are available on iTunes US store here in Canada. I'm actually kind of wondering why it is that these TV shows are restricted only to the US? Technically you can set up a proxie that will "trick" the site into thinking that you are in the US, but I have no clue how to go about doing that. And the legality of that is also rather... questionable... :D. All I know is that I need American Idol to end so I can start watching House again...

It has only been on for about three weeks or so. For your US listeners - they should look it up on iTunes. The last time I visited iTunes they had the pilot episode available for free download. They often do this for new shows, but they don't remain free for long, so it might no longer be available for free. The actor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau stars as John Amsterdam and is a graduate of the National Theater School in Denmark. Hi Father Roderick, New Amsterdam is a new series.

I prefer this to iTunes only because I have a hard time paying for television shows when I'm already paying for satellite tv service in my home.
