Private Cloud ROI Reality Check
Most of the midsize organizations we work with have embraced server virtualization and gotten good results from their efforts—fewer, bigger, busier servers and lower data center costs. But they're hitting a road bump on the way to private cloud nirvana: Storage is still application-specific. There's a SAN for the Exchange server cluster, a different SAN for the Oracle database, maybe a third system for the Web cluster and a big NetApp filer for unstructured data. Servers may all be virtualized, but moving one from the Exchange cluster to the Oracle RAC cluster isn't easy.
The promise of a private cloud, of course, is that once we do away with the notion of application-specific storage (and servers and networks), everything melds into one compute resource pool, and you carve it up by policy. But building a network of server and storage boxes that will let you do that is far harder than just virtualizing a few servers, and ensuring that everything will work just as well as it ever did is not a trivial undertaking, especially for midsize companies that don't have the money or staff resources to create a greenfield network. What's needed is a staged approach.
In this report, we'll do a comprehensive assessment of the dollars you'll need to shell out, and the dollars you may save, as part of a plan to consolidate eight physical server cabinets into two, leaving room for growth. (S3881111)

On November 8, 2013, I met with members of the musical group and interfaith organization Heartbeat, before their concert at the George C. Marshall Center at the State Department. These young Israelis and Palestinians are working together to build trust between their communities by creating music that calls for peace and understanding from both sides. Together they compose songs in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, and use both traditional instruments, as well as rock staples like electric guitars.
Heartbeat's founder, Aaron Shneyer, a Fulbright mtvU alum who returned to Jerusalem after his grant to continue working with Heartbeat, spoke during the Q&A period about his work with the group. Speaking candidly about why he has continued on with the project six years after his grant was over, he said that he has become 'hooked' and is committed to exploring more deeply the power of music for creating a peaceful solution to the issues in these communities.
The commitment Shneyer and the members of Heartbeat have to the group is clear. I was moved by how these young people explained the importance of Heartbeat in their own lives:
Guy Gefen, who writes many of the lyrics and also sings and plays the guitar, said that "HEARTBEAT is my sanity, it's my sanctuary. It's my light of hope."
Kela Sappir, a vocalist, who said that "spaces like this are so rare back home. I come from a background that I consider absolutely segregated and this is a place to be a part of something that is moving to something else. That's what I want to be part of."
And Tamer Omari, who plays the Oud and percussion, commented that "Back home we're in trouble. We have conflict. Somebody needs to do something about it. A lot of people do a lot about it in different ways. I choose to do something about it through my passion."
These young people who played their hearts out for us—an audience that included many Department of State colleagues, a group of junior high students visiting from a Model UN conference, and several Professional Fellows Congress participants from Israel and the Palestinian Territories -- had everybody dancing and singing along by concert's end.
The ability to unite people through music and to get everyone in a room all singing the same song, even if it's in an unfamiliar language is quite remarkable. The energy and optimism that flows from Heartbeat's songs is contagious, and I can't help thinking about how wonderful these young people are as examples of cultural ambassadors. These five youths are working together to increase mutual understanding between their own communities, just as Aaron Shneyer shared his unique American perspective with them.
Collectively they may contribute to more peaceful relations in the region if more people take on the attitude of Moody Kablawi, the rapper of the group, who says he chooses to use music as a "peaceful weapon."
Shneyer discussed using music as a way to connect with people who may not be aware of the possibilities for reconciliation in their region, and as a means to give the "silent majority a voice" by turning up the volume for peace a little bit louder.
We certainly got a strong dose of this during the show, and I am looking forward to watching their progress and to following up with the group on their next visit. Shneyer's creation of Heartbeat while participating in an academic exchange via the Fulbright Program is just one example of the many ways ECA is working to foster mutual understanding around the world.

Has the starter started Chaze? Bob
Yes....but I dont think its doing too well...lol It doubled after about 36 hours and I have been feeding it as im supposed to, but there hasnt been much activity since Not sure if its done or whats going on...lolThe pic shows how it doubled and the tape denotes where it was before doubling.
Jet: I would be gracious if someone offered some starter. I am about 12 hours into this one and it doesnt look any different. Chaz
PM me your address, Merry Christmas.>> You are keeping your starter in a warm part of the house, right?
I don't know for sure, but I am going to say that you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning and winning the lottery on the same day, than getting this to work.Especially when the instructions say that if it doesn't work, to try another flour, and if that doesn't work to hit the internet up for free starters. lol. p.s. my 12 y/o daughter told me that "lol" was dead, and anybody that still uses it is a moron. lol.
Lots of people have successfully created starters from scratch on this forum.
Heres my Ischia starter (thanks to Jet_Deck) 3 days in...looks pretty good so far, no? Ive been feeding it daily according to Jet's pointers.
Knead2know,That is very nice instructional. Do you have something similar for someone who already has some dried starter flakes? Thanks!

Weir, Peter
Peter Weir 1944–
Australian director, screenwriter, and actor.
Weir's films convey his perception of the mystical in everyday events. A successful director emerging from Australia's recent New Wave, he juxtaposes the beautiful and the bizarre, creating a calm exterior that masks the unknown.
Weir made several short films before obtaining a directorial position at Film Australia. His first full-length film, Three To Go, won the Grand Prix of Australia and was nationally televised. In 1971, Weir won another Grand Prix for Homesdale. After making several documentaries, Weir directed his first feature, The Cars that Ate Paris. The film combines a variety of genres to provide social commentary on the modern automotive fetish. Though a dismal commercial failure, critics received it favorably.
Picnic at Hanging Rock is considered one of Australia's finest films. Its ethereal visual quality belies the ominous subject matter. Picnic at Hanging Rock suggests that we live placidly on the edge of hellish disturbing forces beyond our control. Since the supernatural conquers, the film seems to justify a fear of the unknown.
The Last Wave uses water imagery to depict unknown powers. Because of this film's link with aboriginal beliefs, it is a more mystic, brooding work than Picnic at Hanging Rock. Some critics, however, feel that Weir concerned himself more with establishing a darkly ominous tone than with narrative development. The Plumber, too, has a primitive influence similar to The Last Wave, but presents evil in the form of a young "bogeyman." Its form of black comedy is strongly reminiscent of the plays of Harold Pinter.
Weir says he does not set out to depict the supernatural deliberately. However, the pervasive image of unseen powers in his films echoes Edgar Allan Poe's words stated at the beginning of Picnic at Hanging Rock: "What we are and what we seem are but a dream, a dream within a dream."
Ed Peltier
Music and poetry are the arts most difficult to transfer to cinema. Peter Weir, an imaginative Australian writer-director, has accomplished this most successfully in the film Incredible Floridas. It derives its title from a line in a poem by Arthur Rimbaud: "I've struck, I tell you, incredible floridas" [the Spanish word for "full of flowers, choice or select"].
The film is built around the musical homage paid the 19th century French poet by 41-year-old Richard Meale, a leader in contemporary music in Australia. In his own words Meale reveals his early interest in Rimbaud's poetry, his fascination with the poet, and his many attempts over a period of years to put his feeling for Rimbaud into music.
Through uncluttered cinematic devices and with this music as background, the viewer becomes intimately acquainted with both Meale the composer, and Rimbaud the poet, in a linkage though 100 years apart in time, of these two creative minds….
There will be viewers of this film who will be made curious about Rimbaud; others will be stimulated to greater knowledge of Meale and to developments in the musical life of Australia of which a glimpse is given here….
The narration is well paced, its delivery readily understandable. Together, the director and the cameraman have captured the brooding, haunting quality of both Meale's music and Rimbaud's poetry to an extent rarely developed in a film on the two arts.
Ed Peltier, "'Incredible Floridas'," in Film News (© Rohama Lee, d/b/a/Film News Company), Vol. 31, No. 2, April-May, 1974, p. 33.
Philip Strick
Like all the best fantasies, [The Cars that Ate Paris] illuminates the truth with its headlights; the film's title in fact works as a metaphor, and Paris could as well be London, New York, or actually Paris. The erosion of humanity by malevolent technological influences is actually more cliché than truth, perhaps, and the peculiarly immediate effect of the car on the personality has been lovingly revealed by the cinema many times …, but The Cars that Ate Paris is closer to [Kurosawa's] Dodes'ka-den than to [Lazlo Benedek's] The Wild One, closer to Arrabal and Ballard than to Asimov. Which is not to say that the film is always certain of its destination; Australian domestic comedies, remorselessly twanging on the same threadbare lines of humour, have left their mark, and the Royal Portrait still hangs behind the mayoral desk…. But, as with that other masterpiece of anarchy, [George Romero's] Night of the Living Dead, the suspension of conventional dramatic laws adds a curious potency to the thrust of the film, and we find ourselves in an uneasy and uncharted territory where logic has taken a blind turning and there is no escape route. (p. 102)
Philip Strick, "'The Cars that Ate Paris'," in Monthly Film Bulletin (copyright © The British Film Institute, 1975), Vol. 42, No. 496, May, 1975, pp. 101-02.
Geoff Brown
[In The Cars That Ate Paris] the dying town is in the clichéd position of living off the refuse of a materialistic society—symbolised in this instance by the automobile (the accidents are planned, the cars and victims then looted). But the obviousness of its theme has little adverse effect on the success of The Cars That Ate Paris …, a grotesque and engaging horror-comedy….
[Weir's] directorial manner is cool and collected enough for the depicted events to seem startlingly matter-of-fact. The Mayor is the most fully developed character in the bizarre drama….
In the hallowed horror movie tradition, Arthur [the hero] is about to tell the vicar his fears when his potential ally meets a nasty death off-screen—'accidentally', the town decides. Now the movie's pace tightens and the eccentricities loom larger…. [The Pioneer's Ball is] a marvellously funny sequence, and any participant in village fêtes or church socials will recognise the seeds of truth: the lady pianist mechanically pounds out jolly tunes; the Mayor half-heartedly leads the dancing; everyone's 'fancy dress' seems desperate. However, their costumes are nothing compared with those of the hospital patients, who make a triumphant entrance with cereal packets on their heads or cardboard boxes round their waists….
True, the movie has its faults: the pacing is often sluggish (particularly in the opening stages), the structuring of the story is haphazard, and most of the performances could be sharpened with benefit. But after the boorish and boring adventures of Alvin Purple and Barry McKenzie, it's refreshing and encouraging to find an Australian film which never wallows in its country's inglorious mores but uses them tactfully to further an intriguing and compelling narrative of its own.
Geoff Brown, "Film Reviews: 'The Cars that Ate Paris'," in Sight and Sound (copyright © 1975 by The British Film Institute), Vol. 44, No. 3, Summer, 1975, p. 192.
Richard Combs
After his stylistic fumbling with the interesting fantasy material of The Cars That Ate Paris, Peter Weir seems to be on surer ground with Picnic at Hanging Rock—a pure 'atmosphere' piece, with all manner of submerged dreads and longings collecting thickly in the air of a Victorian summer. The consummate and consistent lushness of the film in this respect, however, could be seen as a kind of displacement; the uncertainty in the style of Cars has become the subject of Picnic, and what one might identify as the Weir method—working round his subject, following various tangents but never quite clinching the heart of the matter—finds its perfect complement here, not only in the unsolved mystery at the centre of the plot, but in the repressions and evasions of the Victorian setting…. The trouble with the film begins in the early stages with its tendency to emphasise the psychosexual inevitability of the three girls' ultimate communion with (and absorption by) the spirit of the Rock—"Everything begins and ends at exactly the right place and time"—and continues in the latter stages with its compulsion to 'legitimise' this mystery without a solution by setting off a series of mini-mysteries concerning all the other characters…. The film's clumsiness in this respect is compounded by the one scene in which it attempts to crystallise its sense of the adventure on the Rock as a sexual odyssey: when Irma enters the school gym to confront her fellow pupils for the first time since her return, clad in a bright red dress, the hushed company of girls suddenly breaks out into hysterical screaming as they demand to know what happened and what Irma saw. A much more interesting project than The Cars That Ate Paris, Picnic at Hanging Rock for a while suggests that it has the measure of its ambitions; what finally irritates is not that it poses a riddle without an answer, but that in posing it the film seems to be overtaken by an attack of the stutters. (pp. 196-97)

Tom Milne
Weir caps [the] opening movement of [Picnic at Hanging Rock] with an absolutely superb shot. As four girls set off to explore the Rock itself …, he cuts to a high-angle shot down on the rest of the party frozen in exquisitely elegant yet shamelessly carnal attitudes of post-prandial satiation. Like a painting by Auguste Renoir of the bon bourgeois at play, it evokes that magical moment when nature somehow contrives to unloose the bonds of convention. The theme, unfortunately, is not always allowed to speak for itself in this way. Perhaps because Joan Lindsay's novel never provides any explanation for the disappearance of the three girls—so maintaining the illusion of being a speculation on a...

Ed Roginski
[The artificiality and repressiveness of Appleyard College are uncomfortably recognizable in Picnic at Hanging Rock.] The opening sequence of St. Valentine's morning is characterized by the excitement of the girls' exchange of greetings among themselves and their teachers. It closes, however, with the haunting image of one of the girls imprisoning a rose in a flower-press. What had been a delicate, vital blossom becomes a beautiful, dead icon.
The pressing of the rose emblematically depicts the emotional ambiance of the school. The symbol of eternal love is closed in the airless device just as the affection between Miranda and Sara …, an orphan and the school's youngest boarder, is enclosed...

Richard Combs
[Weir's] films—lush, beckoning fantasies, promising exotic vistas from strange new lands—have a seductiveness befitting an emergent cinema. Unfortunately, Weir's deftness with 'atmosphere' seems to have been developing at the expense of any narrative or thematic sense. The tantalising promise of Picnic at Hanging Rock was that the lush, repressed romanticism of its Victorian girls' school setting might have become its subject—implying that it was the secretiveness and fearfulness of this culture that had generated the unsolved mystery of the plot. But unwilling or unable to make more of this, Weir used his lyricism largely to fill in holes in the story: creating minor mysteries about incidental characters...
(The entire section is 610 words.)
Gordon Gow
From the very outset of [The Last Wave, an] intelligently imaginative film, Peter Weir creates an eerie sense of nature gone awry….
Supernatural forces are evidently at work. But their ways are subtle, for Weir is broaching again the gossamer mysticism he explored so superbly in his film of the Joan Lindsay novel Picnic at Hanging Rock. Neither an incomplete fragment of history nor a period atmosphere are to be conjured up this time, and the current film, while hardly reaching the quality of that last one, is probably the more arduous feat: an essay on atavism set in a wholly naturalistic present, against which the strong impressions of unknown influences are thrown into startling...
(The entire section is 313 words.)
Tim Pulleine
Early passages of Peter Weir's [The Last Wave] suggest that he has successfully married the vigour of his first film, The Cars That Ate Paris, to the plastic and enigmatic qualities of its successor, Picnic at Hanging Rock…. [The] episodes of Billy Corman's death and Burton's subsequent involvement in the legal proceedings are economically dovetailed into the narrative, with Weir integrating the various strands of the plot through the persisting water imagery—the sprinkler playing on Burton's lawn as he discusses his nightmare with his stepfather, the dripping tap in the mortuary where Corman's body is examined. All the more disappointing, then, that Burton's attempts to elucidate the...
(The entire section is 231 words.)
Vincent Canby
["The Last Wave"] begins so brilliantly and with such promise that it's no real surprise that the closer it gets to its apocalypse, the less effective it becomes. The film's payoff is decidedly small, recalling nothing more esoteric than the discovery of the elephants' graveyard in one of the early Tarzan movies. Yet until we arrive at this breathless anticlimax, "The Last Wave" is a movingly moody shock-film, composed entirely of the kind of variations on mundane behavior and events that are most scary and disorienting because they so closely parallel the normal….
Though the inspiration of Mr. Weir and his associates runs out before the end, "The Last Wave" is an impressive work…. He's a man...
(The entire section is 167 words.)
Dan Yakir
Peter Weir's The Last Wave is an ambitiously conceived and dramatically executed film that combines a variety of genres—the psychological thriller, the courtroom drama, the disaster film, and the supernatural mystery—into a unique cinematic achievement. Its profound social and political implications are as unsettling as its buildup of suspense is subtle. With its linear narrative and direct, matter-of-fact tone, The Last Wave is a striking portrayal of the inner hysteria of a man and his world-order gone awry….
[The] thunderstorm shatters the ordered complacency enjoyed by lawyer David Burton … and by the white society to which he belongs. In its apocalyptic culmination, the...
(The entire section is 317 words.)
Pauline Kael
Weir's occultism isn't even faintly erotic, and except for the first sequence The Last Wave is over-deliberate; the camera movements are ominous as if by habit.
Visually, the film is active until the first shot of [David Burton], a Sydney corporation lawyer. Every time he appears, the camera seems to hold on him—and the film croaks out. (p. 533)
Weir provides apparitions holding sacred stones, frog noises in the night, shadows in slow motion, and the kind of haunted-house acting that many of us have a certain affection for—the actors' sense of hopelessness is so disarming as they deliver a line and then try to find a suitable expression to go with it. But The Last...

Vernon Young
Picnic At Hanging Rock is the second and the best of three films made by Peter Weir and the masterpiece to date of Australian independent filmmaking. To call it a masterpiece in the context of our current critical and advertising vocabulary is to court skepticism; the term is usually reserved for something weighty and pragmatic, believed to point a moral with social resonance. Picnic is frankly a diaphanous horror story…. (p. 416)
Weir's movie is permeated with suppressed eroticism that never crudely surfaces. By lyric touches and the art of indirection he conveys the somewhat smelly radiance that emanates from the girlish admixture of innocent crush and diffused smut which...

Marsha Kinder
[The Plumber is] a 76-minute Pinteresque black comedy, which at times is hysterically funny and at other times emotionally disturbing….
The Plumber is in some ways a more perfectly realized work than Weir's earlier, more ambitious films…. The brilliance of the film lies in taking [a] stock situation from domestic comedy, which would be farcical in the context of an I Love Lucy show, and transforming it into a desperate struggle for sanity and survival. (p. 17)
[The] ambiguity in the story greatly enriches its meaning. [Weir] consciously cultivates the reading of [Jill and Max's encounter] on many different levels—not merely as a sexual struggle between a...

Topic: Third party components for Rails, data grids, etc?
Hi All,
Hope all is going well.
I was wondering if anyone knew of companies developing larger components for Rails such as data grids, etc, and the like?We're looking at starting project soon but require that style of component (eg, like what ComponentOne or DevExpress offer for .net).
Any thoughts, ideas, etc?

Amid the Vatican Gardens, visible from the Museums' galleries leading to and from the Sistine Chapel, stands the Casina of Pius IV. The Casina was begun in 1553 by Pirro Ligorio and Sallustio Perruzzi, and completed between 1560 and 1562. This villa consists of four separate sections, with two pavilions and two arched gateways, connected by an oval inner court like an ancient nymphaeum, decorated with statues in the round, high reliefs, bas-reliefs, festoons, friezes, escutcheons and frames in stucco, where putti ride on waterspewing dolphins. It was here that Pius IV used to enjoy moments of peace and solitude. Also his nephew, St. Charles Borromeo, then Cardinal Secretary of State, held here his famous literary evenings.
Since 1926, it has been used as the seat of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which encompases both the Academy of the Sciences and Social Sciences. The Pontifical Academy of Sciences consists of eighty scientists (Sciences and Social Sciences) selected from around the world who are appointed for life by a sovereign act of the Pope. Candidates for a seat in the Academy are chosen by the Academy on the basis of their outstanding original scientific studies and their acknowledged moral personality, without any ethnic or religious discrimination.
The aim of the Academy is to promote the progress of the mathematical, physical and natural sciences and to advance the understanding of the history and philosophy of Science. It promotes scientific investigations and research which can contribute, in the appropriate areas, to the exploration of moral, social and spiritual problems. The findings of the international scientific conferences held at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences are given to the Holy Father for his knowledge and for use in his teachings to humanity. With the object of promoting scientific research the Academy every two years awards the Pius XI Medal to a young scientist of international reputation.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences is the only organization of its kind in the world. Its home, the Casina of Pius IV is one of the most delightful architectural complexes in the Vatican which has just completed an intensive three-year restoration project thanks to the generosity of the Homeland Foundation, New York.

Topic: distinct select
I am using the Rails 3 Jquery Autocomplete plugin. The problem with the plugin is it does not return distinct values. I googled and found the following solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4869 -in-rails3
This solution suggested overriding the get_items function, which can be found at: https://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jque 144d#L1R84
This works if you only are applying autocomplete for one field. But what if you have autocomplete for multiple fields? For example, say you want to apply autocomplete to both title and author. How would you rewrite the following so it could serve both?
autocomplete :post, :title, :full => true
autocomplete :post, :author, :full => true
def get_items(parameters)
Post.select("distinct title").where(["title LIKE ?", "#{parameters[:term]}%"])
Currently that only works for the title field. It does not work for the author field.

Keeps your car safe and trailer secure
To protect his vehicle from accidental damage when he attaches a trailer, Club member Eugene Yavorski of Palm Coast, Florida, came up with this modification. He welded a 3/8-in.-thick x 3 x 6-in. steel plate to the top of the hitch. Now he doesn�t have to worry about the trailer tongue accidentally punching a hole in his bumper cover during hook-up.

Hounds looking for 30 signees
February 4, 2009
PORTALES — Fifth-year Eastern New Mexico University football coach Mark Ribaudo is hoping to have 30 high school players signed to national letters of intent on today's first day of the national signing period.
The prospects are mainly from New Mexico and Texas, he said.
The Greyhounds, who went 2-9 overall and 0-6 last fall in the Lone Star Conference South Division, had already signed eight junior college transfers, most of them for the defensive side of the ball.
"I feel really good about it," Ribaudo said of the potential high school haul. "It could be the biggest class we've signed here.
"We're really pleased with what we've got there. If you add in those junior college kids, it'll be a nice mix."
Ribaudo said the emphasis was on defense with the junior college players because that's where the Hounds needed the most immediate help. He said three of the players are defensive linemen, two are linebackers, one is a safety and the other two are in the offensive line.
He's hoping some of the incoming freshmen will be able to step in and help.
"Some might make an immediate impact," he said. "Some might be a year or two away and a couple might be more than that. A lot of these kids have outstanding grades."
Presuming they get most or all of the signees today they're hoping for, Ribaudo said the Hounds could add two or three New Mexico prospects, but most of the work will be done.
He said the coaching staff didn't prioritize much by position with high school recruiting.
"At the Division II level, you just have to recruit everything all the time," he said. "It's hard to create depth (at Division II). You just try to get the best football players you can."
The Hounds should have six or seven starters back on both sides of the ball next year, Ribaudo said, but he added that they'll still be young.
"Next year, we could possibly have no seniors (starting) on offense," he said.
Spring drills are scheduled for April. The Hounds open the 2009 season on the last Saturday of August with a trip to Colorado State-Pueblo, a second-year program.
ENMU will host first-year program and future LSC member Incarnate Word in the season finale in November, with nine conference games — three crossovers against the North Division and six South games — in between.

Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
by Kent Annan
Andrew Scrimgeour, PTS alum and library director at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, sometimes goes to the library at odd hours, a master key being a benefit of the job. People have asked him whether being alone in the old building and walking among its stacks of books late at night is spooky. "No," he replies. "Though I might look alone, I'm actually among old friends."
Scrimgeour (pronounced Skrim-jor), who preaches regularly in area churches, is currently working on a sermon with All Saints' Day in mind. "I want to preach about the communion of saints from the perspective of the library," he says. "You know, the saints in the stacks.
"We treasure, certainly in the Reformed and mainline traditions, the whole history of witness—whether in the first, fourth, sixteenth, or nineteenth centuries. The pendulum of scholarship and theological sensitivity is always shifting. For example, women's studies scholars have reclaimed so many lost voices, and suddenly the richness of women's voices is present. The library's responsibility is to ensure that all of those voices are speaking and continue to speak."
These days those voices can also be heard on the Internet—a new challenge for librarians. Not to worry, says Scrimgeour, who in 1999 earned a Ph.D. in information science and technology from Drexel University, the Internet is not going to displace the book.
And surrounded by the stuff of books is right where Scrimgeour wants to be. He moved to his current position a year ago with his wife, Dorothy, and their sixteen-year-old daughter, Meghan, from serving as dean of libraries at Regis University, a Jesuit institution in Denver. The lists of what Scrimgeour enjoys and of his current duties read almost identically: collection development (Drew holds 500,000 bound volumes), development of library services, direct work with faculty, teaching research skills to students, teaching an occasional course in religious studies, shaping a staff, building and renovation projects, raising money, working with donors, and (he laughs in disbelief at his good fortune) even preaching occasionally at campus chapel services.
So perhaps it was not surprising that Scrimgeour discovered a few years ago that his DNA included a librarian gene. Henry Scrimgeour, a Scot from Dundee, was a Renaissance bookman and scholar in the sixteenth century who helped Calvin develop the library in Geneva. He was also in charge of one of the great private book collections in Europe at the time, the Fuger collection, now housed in the Vatican.
That was the nature. Princeton provided the nurture.
Scrimgeour credits PTS (M.Div. in 1971, Th.M. in 1975) for his academic and spiritual formation. Professor emeritus W. J. Beeners taught him about speech and preaching, which has served Scrimgeour well ever since. Professor Diogenes Allen, he says, "gave me my ethical compass." Charles Willard, then the PTS librarian, invited him to a vocation.
Discouraged about the opportunities for teaching in the academy in the early 1970s ("I saw colleagues who were my intellectual superiors end up driving trucks for their fathers-in-law"), he talked with Willard, who said there was a need for well-qualified people to head theological libraries and that he needed a research assistant. He offered the position to Scrimgeour, as long as he would simultaneously pursue a library degree. Scrimgeour accepted, began a master of library service degree at Rutgers University, and has never regretted the decision.
In predictable ways, his education at Princeton has been influential. In Speer Library he learned the value of primary sources for research, of having an extensive primary and secondary resource collection, of archiving, of working in other languages. "I began to know what a good research collection was all about," he says.
But Princeton affected more than Scrimgeour's work with books.
"The way I have approached my whole life is as ministry, and that is because of Princeton," he says. "As an administrator I have responsibility for shaping a staff and for working with the faculty. So a big part of the job is working with people, finding the best in people, helping them to make major contributions. The pastoral arts that I learned in Princeton have been the way I have approached personnel management.
"I've taken my fair share of management courses, and they've been valuable. But I wouldn't trade them for what I learned in Seminary. You learn a realism about other people and about the nature of human beings. But, because of our tradition, you also learn about forgiveness and reconciliation and compassion, which management theory doesn't usually address. Too often management theory at its core is making people cogs in someone's machine. I think the pastoral arts bring something that management theory doesn't. The ideal, obviously, is to bring the two together."
As he works to give voice to the saints, Scrimgeour brings together management, ministry, and scholarship.

What would you change about Maccas albums.
I personally think that Paul is pretty lame judge of his songs. I prefer to think of his albums as the groups of songs recorded during or around the sessions for the album. Some of his albums COULD have been amazing but for one reason or another he has left off great tracks, either released them as a non-album single (unheard of in todays market but regular practice for the Beatles and Macca), relegated them to B-Sides, or just never bothered releasing them.
For me it is the most frustrating part of being a Macca fan as a lot of the stuff that does make it onto the album is often inferior to the stuff that doesnt.
Imagine Ram with Another Day and Oh Woman, Oh Why. Red Rose Speedway as a double album. London Town with waterspout, Mull Of Kintyre, Girls School. Back To The Egg with Goodnight Tonight, Daytime Nightime Suffering, Cage and Same Time Next Year.
Im sure many of his albums would have had a much better reception than they got, and he would have sold a lot more as a result ( not that Macca should be worried about the musical legacy he will leave the planet) but it would have been nicer if his solo stuff was more widely recognised.

We wanted to come up with a means to give the windows in our 85 year old house a clean & refreshing look that drapes & treatments never seemed to accomplish. The Bali shutters were the perfect answer! These shutters look absolutely outstanding both from the inside and outside of the house. We chose the hidden tilt option and are very pleased with the clean and uncluttered look that they provide. Over the past year and a half now every window in our entire house is now outfitted with the Bali 2 ½" Louver Shutters and are simply amazed how much better all of our rooms look and feel.

These ab workouts for women will get your post-40 abs into shape in no time!
It�s a truth virtually any woman of a certain age can attest to: Once you leave your 30s behind, it�s just not as easy to keep your tummy toned. So ab workouts for women of a certain age have to be adapted to best work with your changing body. That�s why we asked Leigh Crews, 2011 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, to come up with this waist-whittling ab workout for women over 40. This routine combines both strength moves to build your core muscles and cardio bursts to burn extra calories and help you shed the fat covering those muscles. Warm up for 5 minutes with some light jogging or marching in place, then go through the entire sequence three times. Bonus: Although this is designed as an ab workout for women, these moves target other muscle groups as well, giving you an all-over workout in just 30 minutes.

1. Single Leg Lunge with Overhead Press

Stand with your left knee slightly bent. Rest the top of your right foot on a stability ball behind you with your right knee bent to 90 degrees. Hold a dumbbell with both hands in front of your chest, arms straight. Hinge forward from the hips, reaching down as if you were going to place the weight on the floor a few inches in front of your left foot (A). Unhinge, returning to previous position, then press the dumbbell up toward the ceiling (B); return to previous position. That�s one rep; do 12 to 15 reps, then switch sides and repeat.
2. Do jumping jacks for 30 seconds.
3. Side Plank with Rear Delt Raise and Hip Drop

Lie on your right side with right arm bent, elbow directly under your shoulder, legs stacked or with bottom knee bent and top leg straight; grasp a dumbbell on the floor in front of you with your left hand. Raise your hips off the floor to come into side plank (A). Raise the weight straight up toward the ceiling (B), then slowly drop your right hip to the floor. Lift back up into side plank and lower your arm; that�s one rep. Do 10 to 12 reps, then switch sides and repeat.
4. Do fast feet (running in place as quickly as you can) for 30 seconds.
5. Ball Bridge with Single Arm Chest Fly

Lie with your head, neck, and shoulders on a stability ball; knees should be bent with both feet on the floor so your body forms a straight line from head to knees. (Move feet farther apart to make the exercise easier, or closer together to make it harder.) With a dumbbell in your right hand only, extend both arms straight up toward the ceiling (A). Keeping your left arm raised, slowly lower the dumbbell out to the right until it�s level with your shoulder (B), then raise it back up to previous position. Do 15 reps, then switch hands and repeat.
6. Do jumping jacks for 30 seconds.
7. Multi-Planar Reach

Stand with feet shoulder-width, a dumbbell in each hand with arms extended by your sides. Raise your right arm forward to shoulder level, then lower it and repeat with the left arm (A). Raise your right arm out to the side (B), lower it, and repeat with the left arm. Imagine you are surrounded by a large bubble; continue to lift your arms (alternating sides) in all directions, trying to touch the hand weight to all points inside the bubble (C, D). Continue for one minute.
8. Do fast feet for 30 seconds.
9. Ball Leg Drop with Hamstring Stretch

Lie on your back with legs extended toward the ceiling, feet flexed, a stability ball between your calves, arms out to the sides for balance. (Need support for your back? Place hands under your hips.) Keeping your abs engaged throughout the move, slowly lower your legs toward the floor (B); stop when you feel your back begin to arch, then return to previous position. Rotate the ball with your legs until you feel a stretch in your front hamstring (B), then reverse, rotating in the opposite direction; that�s one rep. Do 10 reps.
10. Do jumping jacks for 30 seconds.

Santmyer, Helen Hooven
Helen Hooven Santmyer 1895-1986
American novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist.
The following entry provides criticism on Santmyer's works from 1984 through 1998. For criticism prior to 1984, see CLC, Volume 33.
Santmyer had a modest literary output beginning in the 1920s, but fame did not reach her until the publication of her 1982 novel "… And Ladies of the Club." Thanks to some effective promotion and a selection by the Book-of-the-Month Club, this story of Midwestern small-town life became a bestseller when Santmyer was in her eighties. Thereafter critics and the public took a new interest in Santmyer's other works as well.
Biographical Information
Helen Hooven Santmyer was born on November 25, 1895, in Cincinnati, Ohio, but spent much of her life in Xenia, a small city in the southwestern part of the state, where both sides of her family had deep roots. Santmyer never stopped calling Xenia home, in spite of occasional forays elsewhere in the United States and abroad. She led a happy and rather conventional childhood, with plenty of time to develop her love of reading. In 1914 she entered Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she was encouraged to pursue a writing career. After a brief stint working for a suffragette organization in New York City, she became secretary to an editor of Scribner's magazine, where she was exposed to a number of famous writers such as Sinclair Lewis and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In 1921 she returned home to Xenia to care for her ailing mother. Her father's largesse allowed her to spend three years at Oxford University in England, where she received a degree in literature in 1927. During this period she also produced her first novel, continuing her literary efforts when she returned to Ohio. After a brief time in California with her family, she began to teach at Cedarville College near Xenia, becoming dean of women and chair of the English department. In the mid-1950s she left teaching to become a reference librarian at the Dayton and Montgomery County Library until her retirement in 1959, living and travelling with her longtime friend Mildred Sandoe. In the mid-1960s, using notes she had accumulated over the years, she began work on what was to become "… And Ladies of the Club," not completing the manuscript until 1975. Santmyer professed to be as shocked as anyone else when the 1984 reissue of the book provoked such a worldwide literary reaction. At the time in poor health and in a nursing home, she was able to enjoy her newfound success only until 1986, when she died on February 21, from complications of emphysema.
Major Works
Santmyer's first novel, the semi-autobiographical Herbs and Apples (1925), tells the story of a girl from Ohio who longs to go to New York to pursue a writing career but is thwarted by the onset of World War I. Her 1929 novel, The Fierce Dispute, focuses on a child whose mother and grandmother are engaged in a struggle for control of her future. Ohio Town (1962) is a collection of essays recalling the sights and sounds of Xenia in Santmyer's youth. Santmyer's "… And Ladies of the Club" attracted scant attention when it was first published by Ohio State University Press in 1982. When this saga of the lives of members of a small city women's club from 1868 to 1932 was reprinted by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1984, however, it became the selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, was widely reviewed, and brought a great deal of press attention to the elderly Santmyer. A posthumous novel, Farewell, Summer, appeared in 1988.
Critical Reception
Santmyer's early books were little noticed and little reviewed. The same could be said of "… And Ladies of the Club" in its initial incarnation in 1982. Through a series of fortunate coincidences, the Putnam edition of 1984 became the publishing sensation of that year, remaining on the bestseller list for thirty-seven weeks. The story of a nearly ninety-year-old lady who had supposedly worked on a book for fifty years was irresistible to the national news media. Many critics were kind to Santmyer, noting her faithfulness to detail and her accurate evocation of life at the turn of the century and beyond. Others found the book unnecessarily long, compared it unfavorably with books like Main Street and My Ántonia, or accused the publisher of unduly promoting a mediocre book for its publicity value. Because of the success of "… And Ladies of the Club," Santmyer's other works, particularly Ohio Town, were reissued and also gained a modest amount of critical attention.

SOURCE: Krishner, Trudy. "The Goal of a Lifetime Won at Last." Christian Science Monitor (27 January 1984): 19.
[In the following review, Krishner gives a preview of "… And Ladies of the Club," noting its fortunate selection by the Book-of-the-Month Club and G. P. Putnam's Sons.]
For Helen Santmyer, success has come somewhat later than it does in most careers. Miss Santmyer, an 88-year-old retired librarian, is being hailed as the literary equivalent of Grandma Moses.
Her novel about small-town life, which she began in the 1920s and finally finished as a nursing home resident in the 1980s, has been published by a university press and is about to be republished in large, lucrative editions by the Book-of-the-Month Club and G. P. Putnam's Sons.
Suddenly Helen Hooven Santmyer is a literary celebrity. Reporters and photographers invade her nursing home accommodations in this quiet southwestern Ohio town. And, as the headlines indicate, the story is of triumph—the goal of a lifetime finally achieved.
Miss Santmyer's 1,344-page novel, "… And Ladies of the Club," spans the years 1868-1932 in the small fictional Ohio town of Waynesboro. It follows a group of women across the generations.
Work on it absorbed Miss Santmyer's attention year after year, decade after decade. In the '20s she conceived of the book as a kind of answer to Sinclair Lewis, the tart-tongued novelist who, she felt, had gotten life in small-town America...

[In the following review, See paints "… And Ladies of the Club" as a ponderous yet valuable look at the realities of small-town life.]
What we will be looking at here in a shamefully short review is a true literary curiosity, an artifact much more than a novel, a monument of words, a tool for the student of American history, a private compilation, a channeling of tremendous, idiosyncratic effort.
Most people interested in publishing must know by now that "… And Ladies of the Club" is the life's work of an obscure woman...

[In the following essay, Malone takes a jaundiced view of "… And Ladies of the Club," asserting that it is graceless and of dubious literary quality.]
Properly publicized, nothing succeeds like failure, particularly when its hucksters belong to the industry that inflicted the initial wound. Hollywood, for example, adores films excoriating its powerful heartlessness and takes sentimental satisfaction in rewarding its own victims: Ingrid Bergman wins an Oscar for having been ostracized by those who give Oscars. Publishing is no different: it fervently gloats over...

The first item on the New York Times News Quiz for Saturday 14 January was: "Posing for this photograph, the first anyone has been permitted to take of her, was a new experience for 88-year-old Helen Hooven Santmyer, but her other novel experience was even more noteworthy. What was it?"

[In the following review, Fleissner defends "… And Ladies of the Club" against charges of racism.]
Because Central State University hosted a most successful conference on Helen Hooven Santmyer's best-selling novel, "… And Ladies of the Club," in January, 1985, it is particularly important to come to terms with the issue of race. A number of prominent reviewers (for example, in Newsweek and in the New York Times) have pinpointed racism as a defect in this work. But is it? Owing to the fact...

[In the following brief review, Steinberg gives an unfavorable assessment of Santmyer's second novel The Fierce Dispute.]
The success of "… And Ladies of the Club" has prompted reissue of the author's earlier works. [The Fierce Dispute], her second, was originally published in 1929—and the years have not been kind. Dated in form and content, it is what was once called a "woman's book," but a contemporary audience will find its simple sentimentality tame.

After a long, difficult day of meeting the demands of family, work, and community, how nice it is to settle down to a book that doesn't force my emotions to stretch from one end to another.
Farewell, Summer is a novella that relieves its reader of emotional upheavals by discussing current or historical turmoils. Rather, it amuses with fond childhood memories.
The author so expertly describes the scenery of country life...

[In the following review of a reissue of Ohio Town, Myers says that this book of essays is superior to Santmyer's more famous "… And Ladies of the Club."]
Loris C. Troyer's Portage Pathways and Helen Hooven Santmyer's Ohio Town reflect two very different approaches to local history, from counties at opposite ends of the state.
