Lord of The Flies


We have crossed a threshold recently, where, when a group of families get together, our kids are old enough to be able to join the fray unattended. This in turn, signifies another new beginning: the dawn of adult conversation. It’s awesome. A huge relief. We sit and talk, drinking wine. The kids race around various apartments and houses and backyards, forming their own governments. But it does come with a teeny bit of anxiety, when I see the parade of maniac children race by, wondering which one’s going to be the first ritual sacrifice.

And of course, praying it’s not mine. Lately, the words Lord Of The Flies seem to come up at almost every party.

A US F-15 jet crashed in Libya overnight and its crew ejected, the US Africa Command said.

One crew member has been safely rescued and the search for the other is ongoing.

“Both aircrew ejected,” the spokeswoman, Karin Burzynski, said from the command’s headquarters in the western German city of Stuttgart.

“One crew member was recovered and the operation to recover the second crew member is ongoing.”

The plane appeared to have suffered mechanical failure and had not been shot down, the spokeswoman said.

Where is truTV?

Where to find truTV is a question a lot of college basketball fans are asking this week, since the truTV cable network for the first time (along with sister stations TNT and TBS) will be telecasting entire games of the NCAA basketall tournament.

The truTV network, once known as Court TV, will telecast all four of the “First Four” games Tuesday and Wednesday (including Clemson’s and UNC-Asheville's first-round games tonight) and then have games throughout the weekend (including Duke’s 2:40 p.m. first-round game Friday vs. Hampton in Charlotte -- that game will NOT be on CBS).

This is all part of the NCAA’s new 14-year TV deal, which was hammered out in Charlotte last April and which I’m writing about in depth for Wednesday’s newspaper.

But in the meantime, where’s truTV? Here’s a partial list, and if you aren’t on one of these then look on your TV for the channel guide or go to ncaa.com for more details.

In Charlotte on Time Warner Cable, truTV can be found on Channel 75; the HDTV version is 1313. For Comporium, it is channel 233. For Dish Network it is channel 204 and for DirecTV it is channel 246. On AT&T U-verse, it is channel 165. For MI-Connection, it is channel 31.

In general, truTV is usually found very close to TNT and TBS because all three are owned by Turner Networks. It is on most basic cable packages.

3  like  Ash Yesterday my kids school and Fat Tuesday's ceremony. Spent one hour to the last moment werksdag'n may be submitted by the holiday season and finally begin Lent. Our school district a beautiful morning and the children enjoy digging in the piles of pancakes at the local school.
It is a school very different. This is Ash Wednesday, and children in the church to reflect on the sacrifice and traditions and our search the priests of the Church. While many adult Catholics will gain as a sign of repentance, and taking into account the usual rules fast Ash Wednesday.
Catholic Church sets guidelines for the enactment of the rules of Lent. Technology is a Catholic between the ages of 18 and 59 obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. In addition, all Catholics 14 years and not from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Friday of Lent.
While my two young children should not be followed in terms of technical rules of fasting, because of their age, they usually do. My son is 8 and is excited that he was still towards the understanding of public order of the Church. When I was a kid, my mother get faster lines, despite being smaller than the Age of choice, but frankly was not difficult.
