<p>My machine is physically unwell. I think there&#8217;s a cable loose. I get vertical lines derivative of the foreground colors that happen to be on the screen. They look like snd&#8217;s A/Visions from Mutek 10.</p>
<p>I have some things I&#8217;ve been meaning to put up, but haven&#8217;t due to this issue. Hopefully soon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It was a busy day so I just took a moment to wander round the kitchen with my zoom, banging on stuff with a wooden spoon. This beat is a mix of electronic drum samples and a sampler instrument made from snippets of kitchen sounds.</p>
<p>To me the track seems like &#8220;latin house&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s the first day of what will be a busy blogging week so I decided to write some slightly]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today&#8217;s the first day of what will be a busy blogging week so I decided to write some slightly wonky electro pop as a cheerful start. I love messing around with arpeggiators and this track is quite driven by a sort of insane 16th pattern. I like the idea of writing music with a &#8220;5 on the floor&#8221; kick pattern like this tune as it helps me avoid boring high hat and snare patterns and forces me to write some sort of groove.</p>
<p>On an entirely different stream, I&#8217;ll be collaborating with Davey Berryman on a Choreography Piece for Dance student Louise Thomas. I&#8217;ll upload soon with results.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:left;display:block;'><p><object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf' width='290' height='24' id='audioplayer1'><param name='movie' value='http://wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf' /><param name='FlashVars' value='&amp;bg=0xf8f8f8&amp;leftbg=0xeeeeee&amp;lefticon=0x666666&amp;rightbg=0xcccccc&amp;rightbghover=0x999999&amp;righticon=0x666666&amp;righticonhover=0xffffff&amp;text=0x666666&amp;slider=0x666666&amp;track=0xFFFFFF&amp;border=0x666666&amp;loader=0x9FFFB8&amp;soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fsndmusic.wordpress.com%2Ffiles%2F2009%2F11%2Felectro-pop.mp3' /><param name='quality' value='high' /><param name='menu' value='false' /><param name='bgcolor' value='#FFFFFF' /></object></p></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>El grupo llevaba meses preparando el rediseño y replanteamiento editorial de sus grandes cabeceras regionales (El Correo, El Diario Vasco, El Diario Montañés, La Verdad, Ideal, Hoy, Sur, La Rioja, El Norte de Castilla, El Comercio, La Voz de Cádiz y Las Provincias). No es una apuesta menor. Estos periódicos <a href="http://www.cnmv.es/portal/hr/verDoc.axd?t={4366cdb3-5663-4baa-8919-5ce9beada9a5}">aportan el 62,6% de sus ingresos</a>, por lo que supone un verdadero salto de trampolín. Tras <a href="http://www.233grados.com/blog/2009/11/rediseno-regionales_vocento.html">insistentes rumores</a>, los compañeros de <a href="http://www.233grados.com/blog/2009/11/vocento.html">233 grados han conseguido hacerse con las primeras imágenes</a> que dejan entrever las claves del rediseño, que incluyen cambios en las cabeceras, las tipografías, el tratamiento editorial, la edición fotográfica y el planteamiento general, mucho más arrevistado (<a href="http://www.elmundo.es/papel/2009/11/12/comunicacion/20480493.html">el futuro de la prensa, según el nuevo presidente de la patronal de los diarios, Aede</a>). Os recomiendo la <a href="http://www.233grados.com/blog/2009/11/vocento.html">visita a 233 grados</a> y os copio aquí cómo quedaría tras el rediseño la portada del buque insignia de los medios regionales, <a href="http://www.elcorreodigital.com">El Correo</a>, junto a su actual portada.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Close all sound apps and firefox and then ONLY report you have: sound, no sound or errors after you ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Close all sound apps and firefox and then ONLY report you have: sound, no sound or errors after you run this command: </p>
<blockquote><p>speaker-test -c2 -D hw:0,0 -t wav -l1</p></blockquote>
<p> or this one</p>
<blockquote><p>speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav -l1</p></blockquote>
<p> if that command does not work then&#8230;</p>
<p>run this command and paste the url the script prints to this channel:</p>
<blockquote><p> wget -O alsa-info.sh  http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh &#38;&#38; bash ./alsa-info.sh</p></blockquote>
<p>that stuff can be usefull to check the problem and you can go on irc in alsa channel :</p>
<p>Some time for for a *lots* of problem you could get a mute system. </p>
<p>First you have to increase volume , just in case&#8230;.</p>
<p>alsamixer in a terminal </p>
<p>you should get some like this <a href="http://nowardev.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alsamixer.png"><img src="http://nowardev.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alsamixer.png" alt="alsamixer" title="alsamixer" width="755" height="407" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-742" /></a></p>
<p>Now you have check you volume are ok but you still have problems you should think the cause of these problems  is AlSA</p>
<p>what is alsa?</p>
<p>alsa is the driver for audio cards and if you have not configured well alsa&#8217;s configuration file you could get a bad audio or mute systerm or microphone that doesn&#8217;t work etc etc.</p>
<p>well the to fix this stuff , generally speaking is this:</p>
<p>1 indentify your audio card with </p>
<blockquote><p>lspci &#124; grep -i Audio</p></blockquote>
<p>to identify the chip or the &#8220;codec&#8221; that alsa uses to make your card working on linux :</p>
<blockquote><p>cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 &#124; grep -i codec</p></blockquote>
<p>with these 2 elements you can search on google.</p>
<p>in the most of cases you have to add some strings on alsa configuration file like i said before.</p>
<p>well where are these strings ? you have to download the driver here  ( top-right )</p>
<p>http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page</p>
<p>so when you extract , go here (NUMBER CAN CHANGE..)</p>
<blockquote><p>alsa-driver-1.0.21/alsa-driver-1.0.21/alsa-kernel/Documentation/</p></blockquote>
<p>**NOTE IF YOU HAVE NOT THE LATEST DRIVER YOU SHOULD SEE HERE </p>
<blockquote><p>/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver</p></blockquote>
<p>for my audio card that is an HD-CARD&#8230;</p>
<p>there is this file HD-Audio-Models.txt in that file there are the strings you was looking for.</p>
<p>for example for my intel card that is </p>
<blockquote><p>cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 &#124; grep -i codec<br />
Codec: Realtek ALC861-VD
</p></blockquote>
<p>i have only to search (CTRL F) with kate  alc861-vd</p>
<p>and i get </p>
<blockquote><p>ALC861VD/660VD<br />
==============<br />
  3stack	3-jack<br />
  3stack-dig	3-jack with SPDIF OUT<br />
  6stack-dig	6-jack with SPDIF OUT<br />
  3stack-660	3-jack (for ALC660VD)<br />
  3stack-660-digout 3-jack with SPDIF OUT (for ALC660VD)<br />
  lenovo	Lenovo 3000 C200<br />
  dallas	Dallas laptops<br />
  hp		HP TX1000<br />
  asus-v1s	ASUS V1Sn<br />
  auto		auto-config reading BIOS (default)
</p></blockquote>
<p>so now you have to edit this file</p>
<p>kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</p>
<p>and add (end of file ) for example</p>
<blockquote><p>options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo position_fix=0</p></blockquote>
<p>position_fix can be &#8212;-&#62; 0 1 2 3</p>
<p>this is my file for example (i don&#8217;t need anymore to edit it my sound cards works fine now&#8230;)</p>
<blockquote><p># autoloader aliases<br />

I hope this will be a place to find some spiritual food for thought (and in the SND tradition, also action) for all of you. As always we love to hear from you. Let us know what you think, or if you have authors you&#8217;d like to suggest. Blessings!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-124" title="saintsofrussia" src="http://inthehandsofthepotter.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/saintsofrussia.jpg?w=202" alt="saintsofrussia" width="202" height="300" />This morning in prayer I came upon a favorite passage of mine in the book of Jeremiah. The passage (Jr 20:7-9) speaks perfectly of the fire within the Saints, that burning urgency to serve the Lord, and a passionate love that compels one to action.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have seduced me, Lord, and I have let myself be seduced; You have overpowered me: You were the stronger&#8230; &#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;For me the Lords&#8217; word has been the cause of insult and derision all day long. I would say to myself, &#8220;I will not think about Him, I will not speak in His name any more&#8221;, but then there seemed to be a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones. The effort to restrain it wearied me, I could not do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let us pray with our companions in Heaven that we too might cultivate a fire so bright as to be unable to suppress its light.</p>
<p>All Gods&#8217; Angels and Saints, pray for us.</p>

The wonderful smell of candles burning in the pumpkins, the crisp, breezy evening spent at a neighbors&#8217; party or passing out candy to all the ghosts, goblins and chili peppers who come calling at our front door. Yes, indeed, Halloween is a cherished holiday at the convent. I remember my first one spent at the &#8220;Big House&#8221;, our province convent. I was surprised to see all the sisters dressed up in various costumes. I had no idea nuns would get so into the holiday! I remember Sister Mary Immaculette dressed as a hula girl, she even had a flower in her hair! There were games and candy, music and laughter. It was touchingly innocent, full of a sweet, simple joy that was so very much in touch with the child that is in us all.</p>
<p>I found a wonderful post over at the site <a href="http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2009/10/the-drama-of-hallowmas">First Things</a> that speaks about the full holiday of Hallowmas, it&#8217;s a wonderful read full of symbolism and insight. Check it out and have a safe, joyful Halloween!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-116" title="13_rays_fog_trees_rmb" src="http://inthehandsofthepotter.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/13_rays_fog_trees_rmb.jpg?w=300" alt="13_rays_fog_trees_rmb" width="300" height="200" />From time to time I pick up a volume that never ceases to challenge me.  The book &#8220;Abandonment to God&#8221; by Jean-Pierre De Caussade, S.J., (d.1751) calls the reader to give each moment of the day to God, trusting that His Providence has ordered everything for our good.  &#8220;The present moment is an ever-flowing source of holiness,&#8221; Caussade says, &#8220;and all will be well if we abandon ourselves to the will of God.&#8221;  Of course, suffering from &#8220;spiritual amnesia&#8221;, I eventually fall back into feeling that I alone am responsible for the proper running of the world.  Still, his advice is a powerful antidote for habits of worry and control: dwelling on the past, fearing for the future, gnawing on regrets, and anticipating the worst.</p>
<p>What if, as curators of our own contentment, we followed Caussade&#8217;s advice and cultivated habits of recollection, of a loving awareness of God&#8217;s presence and providence?  Nothing in our day would lack meaning or peace, for we would discover that the peace we seek is already within us.</p>
<p>&#8220;The well of Providence is deep.  It&#8217;s the buckets we bring to it that are small.&#8221;  Mary Webb</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-113" title="FCB_SBA_0042" src="http://inthehandsofthepotter.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/fcb_sba_00421.jpg?w=224" alt="FCB_SBA_0042" width="224" height="300" />Time for another vocation story, this one from our newest candidate Rhea:</p>
<p>&#8220;My desire to become a sister began to stir in me as far back as I can recall. However, at age sixteen, I let go of the thought. To my knowledge no sign from the Lord was given to me.  In my childlike ignorance, I assumed God would provide me with a supernatural event that would make clear to me that my desires were His as well, and not merely the romantic notions of a young girl.  After a period of loss and acceptance; I then proceeded to live my life pursuing the secular goals of family and career.</p>
<p>I have had a fulfilling life which includes a loving family, good friends, a rewarding career and a rich spiritual journey.  However, I am now at a turning point. With exception to the gift of motherhood; no pursuit, accomplishment, or relationship; has fulfilled me other than my love for Christ and His love for me.   So at this point I have given myself permission to take the time to discern what He truly wants for me.  I am drawn to the Sisters of Notre Dame for their vitality, devotion to witnessing to God’s goodness and provident care, and undying desire to serve God’s people with vigor, humor, and humility&#8221;.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Freie DNS-Server werden immer wichtiger (um nicht komplett im Nebel zu tappen) Am meisten werden sie]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" title="nebel" src="http://wolkencloud.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/nebel.jpg" alt="nebel" width="238" height="344"></p>
<p>Freie DNS-Server werden immer wichtiger (um nicht komplett im Nebel zu tappen)</p>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Am meisten werden sie eigentlich benötigt, um eine stabilere überprüfbare Möglichkeit zu haben, eigene Nameservereinstellungen zu prüfen. Das ist aber wohl eher was für Profis und denen muss ich den Vorteil ja nicht erklären.</span></p>
<p>Ok, wir können natürlich auch erstmal anfangen und erklären, &#160;um was es geht, wenn es denn sein muss.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Also kurzgefass:. Die Namensauflösung einer <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain">Domain</a>, also der wichtigste Teil einer<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL"> URL</a>,&#160;in eine <a href="IP-Adresse">IP-Adresse</a>, die den jeweiligen Server bestimmt nennt sich&#160;<span style="background-color:#ffffff;"><a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System">Domain Name System (DNS)</a>.<br />
Wenn ich also in die URL-Zeile wolkencloud.wordpress.com eingeben, so muss der Browser wissen, von wo er sich die Seite holen kann. Und genau das macht das DNS: </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Wer es genauer wissen will, sollte den letzten Link verfolgen.</span></p>
<p>Und diese DNS-Server kann eigentlich jeder zur Verfügung stellen. Meist macht das der jeweilige Internet-Provider.</p>
<p>Diese haben aber nun die Möglichkeit durch Manipulationen andere Informationen, als die korrekten zurückzuliefern.<br />
Das geschieht entweder, um bestimmte Dienste zu sperren, speziell bei UMTS etc. ist nicht alles erwünscht, oder aber auch für Werbezwecke, indem man etwa bei Tippfehler zu einer anderen nicht gewollten Seite geleitet wird.</p>
<p>Natürlich kommen dann noch staatlich angeordnete Maßnahmen dazu, wie in Deutschland die für den Wahlkampf erfundene Lösung &#160;<a href="http://guedesweiler.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/loschen-statt-sperren/">Stoppschilder</a>, aber auch in China und anderen Ländern, die Deutschland in dieser Beziehung etwas voraus sind.</p>
<p>Diese DNS-Server sind nichts geheimes oder verbotenes, sondern vielmehr ein Grundgerüst.</p>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Hier(<a href="http://www.fixmbr.de/opendns-und-andere-freie-dns-server/">OpenDNS und andere freie</a>) &#160;wird etwa erklärt, wie man einen solchen einstellt,&#160;oder besser gleich ganz kompetent vom <a href="http://www.ccc.de/censorship/dns-howto/#dnsserver">CCC</a>.</span></p>
<p>Dann bleibt noch die Frage, warum sollte man die nicht verwenden?</p>
<p>Der einzige Grund ist eigentlich die Last im Internet zu verteilen und diese Aufgabe dem eigenen Provider zu überlassen, den man ja auch dafür bezahlt. Aber dieses Argument zählt heutzutage kaum mehr, bei der vorhandenen Bandbreite und Geschwindigkeit im Netz.</p>
<p>Dann hätten wir noch das Totschlagargument &#8220;ich habe nichts zu verbergen&#8221;. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass der Leser hier intelligent genug ist, dass ich da nicht darauf eingehen muss.</p>
<p>Meiner Ansicht nach gibt es nur einen einzigen Grund: Faulheit und/oder keine Lust.<br />
Ja und das muss ich wohl gelten lassen.<br />
Ansonsten kann ich nur dringend raten, es mal auszuprobieren und etwas von der <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="Apple-style-span">Macht, die in den Händen einiger weniger liegt, in die Eigene Hände zu nehmen</span>. Speziell da es hier sehr leicht geht und völlig legitim ist.</p>
<p>Und mann kann den DNS nicht so leicht <a href="http://11k2.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/dns-analyse-kann-gefalscht-werden/">fälschen</a>.<br />
War nur ein Witz!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em><strong>For the first time since I began the search into my history, I became moved spiritually by the finding of an unknown relative. I was researching a collateral branch of the family and came across Suzanne Bertsch. She was present in the 1910 census, but then seemingly disappeared.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I did a little more research and found her to be a Catholic Nun. She was a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame, in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Province at Covington, Kentucky.  She served our religion for seventy of her nearly 90 years and no matter what I write, I cannot write anything nearly as beautiful as the words written in her obituary, or the thoughts from the homily of her nephew, the Reverend Leo Schmidt at her Burial Mass.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Before their writings, I would like to say that the thoughts written for the Sister made me examine my own spirituality and begin practicing the faith I have been away from for more than a decade. Sometimes, in examining our history, we find we can learn some important lessons from our own past.</p>
<p></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>I also want to take a moment to thank Sister Joan Terese Niklas, S.N.D., archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame in Covington, Kentucky, for all of the assistance she has provided.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://sedgwick2graham.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/97f38b5b-07f2-4644-a379-006f6eef4216.png?w=320&#038;h=467" alt="97f38b5b-07f2-4644-a379-006f6eef4216.png" width="320" height="467" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Some thoughts from the Homily of Reverend Leo Schmidt at the Mass of Christian Burial for Sister Mary Romilda, S.N.D. &#8211; Aug. 17. 1987</strong></p>
<p>In Biblical literature we often find the word &#8220;tent&#8221;. These were the dwelling places of nomads so they could be picked up and carried off to other lands when they were routed by their enemies or in peaceful times had to find better pasture lands for their flocks. Even John in his Gospel says God came to pitch His tent on earth with us so as to dwell with us. Paul says: &#8220;We know that when the earthly tent in which we dwell is destroyed, we have a dwelling provided for us by God, a dwelling in the heavens, not made by hands but to last forever.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sister Mary Romilda had thirty-three nephews and very many grandnieces and nephews. To all of us we find the above as appropriate. We saw Sister as one who traveled lightly. She had many different assignments. She knew where she was going, and she was a woman who knew what her life was about; she went in obedience. She loved her Community, her Church, her God, and she loved the many people she knew far and wide.</p>
<p>There are many stories we could tell about her. Maybe I could just recall a few that symbolize her life. I can remember sitting on the porch in Linwood, feeding the birds, or drinking fresh lemonades at St. Augustine&#8217;s in Covington; visiting her in Augusta so close to the river or visiting her in Bardstown where she was assisting the old people; or reading her letters about the floods in Harlan or her teaching the Indians in Winnebago. She was in many places and she always loved children. She had a special talent for teaching them, which she loved to do.</p>
<p>Just this past July Fourth there came to visit her a gentleman whom she taught in the sixth grade in Cheviot. Sister told me, &#8220;He recalled a terrible downpour and the drains got clogged up. He was surprised I didn&#8217;t even call the janitor but instead put on my blue apron and worked and worked until I had it cleaned out. I have no recollection of the incident. We might ask what opening up drains has to do with spreading God&#8217;s kingdom. We are all engaged in doing the important things, but it was typical of Sister to do the things that had to be done, not bothering about whether anyone saw it. I see her as someone who loved God, doing every day what she was expected to do, with a smile on her face.</p>
<p>Our family all loved to visit her wherever she was for it was always a treat to be with her and there were so many ways in which she pleased us. In later years when she was able to make home visits, she loved our big family reunions. She remembered every one and whom they went with and what they were interested in. It was her gift to love life, and she never forgot anniversaries and special occasions. When she couldn&#8217;t be there, she remembered us with letters and always decorated it, using crayons to make lilies or roses, etc. so that it would be something personal from her.</p>
<p>As we bid her goodbye tonight, we all know we have something to celebrate&#8211;her living religious life for seventy years. Every job is important, but there are few jobs with the lasting influence of thousands of young people who went through her classroom. She certainly has something beautiful to bring along with her to God. How she appreciated her Community and how much she enjoyed her Jubilee celebration less than a week before her death! Scripture tells us there is a special feast prepared for us. She has folded up her tent and gone to God because she saw God as her Truth and her Life, and she never wavered in her trust of the deep peace that we believe she now has and enjoys.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Obituary of Sister Mary Romilda Bertsch</strong></p>
<p>The joyfully expectant Advent season of 1897 witnessed the arrival of little Suzanne into the family of Frank and Appolonia (Hoffman) Bertsch, whose home was situated in the one-time small country hamlet of Cold Spring, Kentucky. Two brothers and a sister were there to welcome her on that December 9, and four more children arrived in after years to complete the happy family circle. One boy eventually became a Franciscan priest, Reverend Luke Bertsch, now deceased. Suzanne was baptized at St. Joseph Church and also attended the parish school when of age.</p>
<p>Although Suzanne did not receive her First Holy Communion until she was 13 years of age, she was prepared for her First Confession in grade two. At that time all went to Confession in the German language, a custom which devastated Suzanne and caused bitter tears to flow on the evening prior to her day&#8211;she didn&#8217;t know how to confess her sins in German! But her good mother came to the rescue by delegating her older brother, the future Father Luke, to assist her. During the years following, she displayed an inclination toward the sisterhood by playing school, dressing like a sister with an ingenious type of headgear and a rosary dangling by her side, building and decorating altars. Cognizant of this attraction her father provided a stationary altar in the dining room cupboard where the family began to gather for the evening rosary.</p>
<p>Thus the years passed enveloped in that beautiful Catholic atmosphere of wholesome family life, love of God and of one another, an atmosphere enabling Suzanne to transform her childish attraction toward religious life into a mature reality. Through the advice of her teacher, Sister Mary Euphrasia, S.N.D., Suzanne and her lifelong companion, Hilda Kroger (deceased Sister Mary Irenas), joined the Aspirant school in Covington in the autumn of 1913 and entered the novitiate on February 2, 1915.<br />
Already as a postulant she taught at St. Joseph Heights School and jokingly remarked that she was getting her dally exercise by walking from 5th Street to the Heights and back again&#8211;quite a distance!</p>
<p>Suzanne was invested on July 13 receiving the name of Sister Mary Romilda, and made her first vows on July 17, 1917. Thereafter, her teaching apostolate extended to our schools in the Covington Diocese and the Cincinnati Archdiocese. Sister also spent several years at St. Augustine Indian Mission in Winnebago, Nebraska in the capacity of teacher and matron. (We no longer staff this Mission.) When our Kentucky apostolate expanded to embrace the Appalachian Mountain area, Sister became a pioneer at Holy Trinity School in Harlan, fulfilling the roles of teacher, principal and local superior. Her last year of activity was spent at St. Monica Parish in Bardstown, Kentucky where she was engaged in catechetical instruction and ministering to the poor in the area.</p>
<p>Sister Mary Romilda retired to the provincial House in 1975 continuing to render services wherever possible, always with her typical heart-warming smile. Since walking had become more difficult because of her arthritic condition, Sister joined the Lourdes Hall (infirmary) community in 1982 still eager to proffer her services, interested in all things and retaining her pleasant disposition, which had captivated people throughout the years. She delighted in reading and in reminiscing about her days as a teacher. Precious in her sight was the book containing the names of all the children she had taught, and her daily prayers for them was truly a litany of intercession with the Good God.</p>
<p>In November of 1985 her brother, Father Luke, OFM, died at the age of ninety and sister was able to attend the Funeral Liturgy at St. Francis Seraph Church in Cincinnati, but after that there was a steady decline in her health. When the year 1987 dawned, Sister Mary Romilda felt certain she would not live to celebrate the 70th anniversary of her Profession in July, but the Lord had other plans. Our community celebration of all the Jubilees was held on June 20 and thereafter Sister&#8217;s thoughts centered persistently on death and she requested the sisters to pray the prayers for the dying with her. Since she also expressed the desire to receive the Sacrament of Anointing, her nephew, Rev. Leo Schmidt, came on June 22 to administer that special grace. She rallied somewhat after the Anointing and even though she was anxious to go home to God and her usual parting words to visitors were, &#8220;This might be the last time you&#8217;ll see me alive,&#8221; she now did want to be with us for the public jubilee celebration on August 8. The great day came and even though she could not participate in the Eucharistic Liturgy at our neighboring St. Agnes Church, she did enjoy the visit with her relatives.</p>
<p>The last days preceding death were dominated by a state of confusion as she talked almost constantly, reliving the past events of her life especially classroom episodes. In the dawning hours of August 14, sometime between 4 and 6 a.m., our dear Jubilarian of Grace smiled her lovliest and slipped off to heaven silently and alone to meet her Bridegroom of 70 years.</p>
<p>Mass of Christian Burial was concelebrated on August 17 at 7:30 p.m. by Rev. Leo Schmidt, Rev. Charles Weber and Rev. James Ryan. In attendance were her sister, Elizabeth Schmidt, her brothers Charles, Lawrence and Louis, many nieces and nephews, friends and sisters.</p>
<p>The homily was delivered by Father Schmidt who said in part: &#8220;I saw Sister as someone who traveled lightly. She knew where she was going and she was a woman who knew what life was all about; she went in obedience. She loved her Community, her Church, her God, and she loved the many people she knew far and wide&#8230;.She always loved children and had a special talent for teaching them&#8230;.I see her as someone who loved God, doing every day what she was expected to do, with a smile on her face. She loved her big family and its reunions. It was her gift to love life, and she never forgot anniversaries and special occasions&#8230;.As we bid her goodbye tonight, we all know we have something to celebrate&#8211;her living religious life for seventy years. Every job is important, but there are few jobs with the lasting influence of thousands of young people who went through her classroom. She certainly had something beautiful to bring along with her to God&#8230;.She has folded up her tent and gone home to God because she saw God as her Truth and her Life, and she never wavered in her trust of the deep peace that we believe she now has and enjoys.&#8221;</p>
<p>That Father was keenly aware of his aunt&#8217;s sterling qualities is quite evident from the above. The community as a whole reiterates his words in paying tribute to our dear sister who will continue to remember each of us before the throne of God just as she did her beloved pupils here on earth.</p>
<p>May she rest in peace!</p>
