Looking back at this past year's blog entries (because I can't get enough of my own intrepid genius), I noticed a sharp decrease of posts labeled "Exceptionally Messed Up Sh*t" as the months quickly and painfully moved on. This can mean either one of two things -- DC changed or I changed. Yet as I look around this chamber pot of a city, I still observe the same things that goaded me to start this blog in the first place. So why the decrease? Well, since I'm a word whore, allow me to pontificate electronically on a subject that seems to be coming up more and more on this blog -- myself.
Whereas this blog started off documenting other people's shambles, today I shall wax retarded on my own. It's been said before in the comments, perhaps jokingly though, that I've gone soft. However, considering I punched a baby in the face just this morning and plan on dropkicking a few puppies later today, I don't think I've necessarily lost my edge. Make no mistake about it, I'm still a major asshole. Likewise, DC is still a global rendezvous point for many-a-badly dressed tool and/or douche. Look around; take it all in; no amount of time will ever change that. The Blackberry-per-capita rate is just too high.
In fact, let's put myself aside for a moment and dissect a subject that has long ruffled this blog's proverbial e-feathers -- nametags. Nametags are still freely worn in public, which reminds me of the time in high school when my German Nazi sympathizer teacher, Mr. Ihrig, decided to forego teaching us about the horrors of the Holocaust through a viewing of Schindler's List, which is what every other class did, and instead required us to participate in something he termed "The Holocaust Game." True to its name, he really had turned the Holocaust into a game, featuring cards labeled "religion," "food," "family," "life," etc., that we either kept or lost depending on a homemade Chutes & Ladders style spinner. And to really "teach" us, Mr. Ihrig insisted that we call him "Fuhrer," while he called us Jewish ethnic slurs that even I, propagator of rape jokes aplenty, refuse to type on this blog.*
But wait, there's more! One of the most disturbing parts of this
Which brings me to my biggest pet peeve about DC -- the ubiquity of nametags being worn in public. It's already ridiculous enough that so many of us need to wear a visible identification badge to gain access to places that aren't even that exciting (see: office buildings, Congress), but, according to some sources, so many of these nametags are viewed as status symbols here, which not only is one of the most ridiculous concepts I've ever heard of, but is just plain pathetic. Anyone who invests that much self-worth in a piece of magnetized plastic should be required to endure my 10th grade U.S. history class. Not only will they have to suffer through the absurdity of Mr. Ihrig's "teaching" methods, but they will realize that their lives are retardedly based on an unnecessary accessory forced on them from above. Yet instead of near-certain death, their only punishment is looking like a gigantic tool. (That, Mr. Ihrig, is what your Holocaust game is good for. I learned NOTHING about the Holocaust, but learned to hate authority-ordered accessories. Congratulations on your teaching abilities, sir, if by "abilities," I mean "completely misguided, totally offensive and intensely wrong methods," and by "sir," I mean "dickwad.")
However, much like DC's penchant for public displays of nametag retardability, the kids assigned to Mr. Ihrig's U.S. History class will probably forever come out dumber than when they went in. (I'm a perfect example.) DC and Mr. Ihrig will never change.
Which circuitously pops me back into where I began this treatise -- it's me who's changed, not DC. Don't get me wrong -- my pants are still ridiculously tight, leaving nary an empty space between my skin and the fabric (similar to the lack of space left vacant when a 12-pack of kids are forced to huddle under a table labeled "Auschwitz" and wait bored to see who would be the lucky ones to lose their last "life" cards and end their participation in this most pointless of exercises). That is, any change I've experienced has nothing to do with me conforming to DC's toolish tendencies. Instead, I think I've just grown used to them. For example, after complaining about Mr. Ihrig to no avail myriad times and seeing nothing change, I began to grow increasingly complacent, which probably led me to just believe him when he emphatically noted later in the year we won the Vietnam War. (I wasn't kidding when I said I came out dumber.) I could reason all I wanted with the guidance counselor, drop as much logic as scientifically possible, yet Mr. Ihrig continued to have a job. Likewise, despite complaining ad nauseum on this blog, in bars and to my doorman, DC continues to sport its nametags in public. In both situations, after a while, one can only shrug.
Or blog (if only blogging existed in 1994...). But just as complaining to metaphorical deaf ears about Mr. Ihrig being a Nazi got old after a while when I was 15, complaining about DC's backward habits seems to have grown redundant to me at 29. Simply put (which probably should have been typed 972 words ago), I've grown complacent, which, if you think about it, is very DC of me. I came in with all these grand notions about stopping the insanity Susan Powter-style, however, the more time that passed, the more I forget about my own ideals. Saving the world from the rampant doucheosity took a backseat to satiating my own e-ego, which has grown unjustifiably large (larger, perhaps, than the insanity Ms. Powter targeted) as I suppose it does with any blogger or, to put it in a DC-friendly context, aspiring politician. (After all, Narcissistic Personality Disorder is what bloggers -- and aspiring politicians -- specialize in.)
Moreover, the more I got to know the (very few) parts of DC that didn't suck as well as the (slowly increasing number of) people who unabashedly defied the stereotypes I had haphazardly made up in my mind, the less I noticed all the exceptionally messed up sh*t around me. Or if I did notice it, I didn't feel as motivated to write about it. Suddenly, it wasn't as exceptionally messed up as it had been in the past. Instead, I started to find it all very amusing. Then one day last month I read the following, written by the great secret genius Bike Snob NYC, who put my untethered thoughts into logical terms: "Stupidity minus Anger equals Weirdness. In other words, when I observe something inexplicable and get angry about it, I've observed something stupid. But when I observe something inexplicable and don't get angry, I've simply observed something weird. And weirdness is much easier to live with than stupidity."
Voila! DC is simply weird! The unnecessary nametags, the dishabille attire, the backward customer service, the retarded drivers -- it's all just weird. Granted, not as weird as Mr. Ihrig's 10th grade U.S. history class, of course, but still weird.
The thing about "weird," though, is that it is much harder to complain about than "stupid." Stupid is easy. Blog posts about stupid write themselves. With weird, one must think creatively to get an idea across. Weird is complicated. It's neither good nor bad; right nor wrong; tight nor gnarly, as it were. It's just...weird. And it's hard to write about something that cannot be easily tucked into a stereotype based on the most unresearched of generalizations, a concept upon which this blog has depended since its not-so-immaculate conception just over a year ago.
Moreover, in a noun, a verb, a sometimes-adverb and an adjective -- I am effing lazy. It's hard not to be redundant while complaining about the same
And as 2009 looms, I'm sure I've only just begun exploring this bizarre new direction I seem to find myself and my writing (at least on this e-platform) heading in. To be sure, I'm not giving up my original mission, which is to bitch incessantly -- but creatively -- about the city in which I find myself living, but I'm not sure that's my main focus anymore. To be honest, I'm not sure what my main focus is, which is dangerous territory for a blogger to find herself in as I suspect it will translate into a loss of audience. (All two of you.)
So, in the spirit of losing what few -- but precious -- readers I may have as I venture onward into this semi-new, wholly retardulous direction, I'll just go ahead and communicate to you via a very weird (but not in the Holocaust game way) music video by Cadence Weapon:
Yep, that was weird. (But not in the DC way.) And I love it!
Gadzooks! It's on in 2009...
And in the spirit of redundancy, allow me to once again wish you a Happy (preemptive) New Year!
Ciao (for real this time)!
*To make matters more absurd, when I went to the school's higher powers, I was told to calm down and that this was an "out-of-the-box learning activity." And yet somehow, Mankato West Senior High School didn't make the list of top Minnesota public schools again. Verflucht!

Bear Scout
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Special topics include Flag Ceremonies, Knots, Pinewood Derby, and Cub Scout Resident Camp.
|Bear rank
Bear Badge
The Bear Scout program is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). After earning the Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Bear badge.
Often, den meeting activities enable the Bear Scouts to complete requirements toward an award or rank. For Tiger through Bear ranks, if the activity is completed outside of the den meeting, the parent, adult partner, or another trusted adult should sign in the boy's handbook, indicating the Cub Scout has done his best to complete the requirement. The den leader then approves that requirement after consultation with the family or the boy to confirm completion. If the requirement is completed in a den meeting, the den leader signs in both places. Den leaders may, however, ask an assistant or parent who helps at meetings to play the role of "Akela" and assist with the approvals. For Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks, the den leader signs for approval of all requirements, unless the den leader delegates this responsibility. The Den Chief helps lead the meetings. The Denners and Assistant Den Leaders lead Opening and Closing flag ceremonies and help with setup and cleanup.
The Bear Scout uniform has six parts.

Being a software developer, the keyboard is the most important tool to interact with the computer. Thus, the layout and placement of buttons is very essential. Especially the grouping of the escape-button [ESC] and functional buttons [F1] - [F12]. On a Standard Windows Natural Keyboard Layout the buttons are placed the way I've learned:
The palacement of the buttons on my old Windows Media Keyboard where the same, so I bought me a new one, not paying enough attention to the layout. Yes, It's my fault, because I didn't realize how important the layout is. Happy about my new Windows Media keyboard, I plugged it in and started working. The user experiance was horrible. Every time I hit the [ESC] button a new instance of Microsoft Outlook emerged on the screen. And trying to find the functional buttons just wasn't possible. They were missing. I couldn't find them because they were half the size of a normal button and being at a lower level than standard buttons. So I needed to look down on the keyboard every time to find them.
Two weeks later, I gave up. Now, I use the companion keyboard which was delivered with the computer. It works, but it is not what I want. I really need a new keyboard, with standard windows natural keyboard layout and silent buttons. Microsoft have the curved keyboard. Logitech also uses the half-size functional buttons and Razor have additional buttons above the row of functional buttons.
Where do I find a keyboard for developers?

A book about running routes of the world
SR had fallen asleep early because he had been on call the night before and I was sitting reminiscing about my favorite books. I was thinking about what I would like to read next and it dawned on me that I wanted to make a collection of running stories from across the world.
I am calling out to readers of this blog to be an author(a lot of you already are in your own blogging way or otherwise). I want you to write about a running route that means something to you. It should be a story with personality and emotions and perhaps humor. It should be centered around a running route and you should describe exactly where this route is. Since I know readers of this blog come from and/or live all over the place, I am excited to see where these routes are. It doesn't need to be your favorite route, it just needs a story attached to it. (What I don't want is: "I like running on the emerald necklace in Boston because it is pretty. I run there every day. I start at the Riverway in Brookline and turn around after Jamaica Pond.") This is not going to be a guide book to running routes, but stories about running routes.
I also really plan on publishing this book. And paying the authors. That is if I find a publisher and that publisher convinces people to buy it. But who wouldn't want to read this? Come on! And I want some of the proceeds to go to a good cause. You can also suggest a cause if you are one of those people who know a lot about good causes.
If you are interested in being an author, send an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are really fast, you can even send the story at the same time. Or just let me know you are planning on writing something. Pictures are welcome but are in no way a requirement. You can also write me suggesting an author you would like to have write a story for the book.
I know that I for one am going to write a chapter and SR is planning his as well. Don't be shy! Send me a story! You could become famous and, perhaps, more beloved than you already are.

Darling, you don't have enough on your plate? :) I'll think about it...if I find the time. Any deadlines?
- 11 March 2010 at 22:45
- sea legs girl said...
Olga. Yes, well, I am busy, but something like this would be such a fun project. Of course, if no one writes anything, it won't be too much work for me.
That being said, I would LOVE to have a chapter from you :). I don't have a deadline as of yet. I will think about it. Once people start submitting stories, I may set a deadline.
- 12 March 2010 at 07:06
- PiccolaPineCone said...
ok, you KNOW I am going to contribute to this! fabulous idea. I will rally some of my other running/writing friends as well. ironically your example of what NOT to write used one of my favorite once-upon-a-time running routes as an example (the emerald necklace IS very pretty) but I understand why you don't want that. Thanks for the inspiration to write more!
- 12 March 2010 at 08:26
- sea legs girl said...
PicoolaPineCone, you are so funny. Yes, the emerald necklace was, of course, one of my old favorite running routes, too. Ain't nothing wrong with that route! (you used to live in Boston, too?) But I had to illustrate the point somehow that I wanted a story and not just a good route :).
I am, by the way, thrilled that you are game. And very curious where you will write about. And, yes, I know you have connections... so I would love it if you could use your charm to get some stories out of them!

- Diana said...
I am so excited to write something for this! What a really great idea. I don't post about running on my blog very often, but it's still a big part of my life. This would be a nice way to share it.
If there comes a time when you need help with proofing and editing let me know. Grad school hasn't taught me a lot of essential life skills, but no one could accuse me of not acquiring some mad editing capabilities.
- 12 March 2010 at 09:16
- PiccolaPineCone said...
yup I lived in Boston (really Jamaica Plain) next to Jamaica Pond from 2000-2002. What is up with our strangely parallel lives?
p.s. I have already mentally written most of my piece. I'll start actually getting it onto paper after bedtime (hers not mine)
- 12 March 2010 at 09:58
- sea legs girl said...
Diana, I guess I could say that, though I don't write about food often, it is also a big part of my life. I am so happy you want to write something. And you better believe I will use your editing skills, if I do actually receive anything to edit :).
Piccola, I lived there right after you. I was in Brookline near the med school. What were you doing there?
- 12 March 2010 at 11:34

Prolific is good -- it gives me stuff to read :-)
- 12 March 2010 at 15:58
- SteveQ said...
Oh I don't know if I could manage personality and humor...
- 12 March 2010 at 17:54
- Marie-Aline said...
I am in! Great idea! Perfect: you have now Diana as your editor, and between you and me, we can also write a French version of the book! I also have already an (ok, several!) idea of what I want to write... now just have to hope for some long naps and early nights from the little one!
PS - I have never been to Boston... hope it is not a non-starter? :-)
- 12 March 2010 at 18:11
- Mark & Ash said...
Great idea. I have a story in mind. If you find you are in need of more stories, I can send the request to friends. ~Ashley
- 12 March 2010 at 19:33
- Helen said...
I'm in! but which running route to write about????
- 13 March 2010 at 02:28
- sea legs girl said...
Ok, this is exciting stuff.
Danni, you are cleverly avoiding the subject at hand, though I am glad to know I'm providing you with reading material (such a lack of it these days ;)...)
SteveQ are you in or what? (see my comment on your blog)
Marie-Aline, previous residency in Boston is NOT a prerequisite. But will result in higher pay for the author. (wa, wa, just kidding... I never know if I need to write that, irony being so hard to detect at times). I'm so glad you like the idea and that you are game!
Cool, Ashley! Of course you can mention it to friends. I just want people to write who feel inspired to do so.
Helen. Yay! Yay! I woke up thinking I had better find a way to convince Helen Lavin to write something.
- 13 March 2010 at 08:29
- PiccolaPineCone said...
was in Boston b/c I got my first job writing software there. higher pay should be given to anyone who STILL lives in Boston, as I remember it cost an arm 7 a leg just to breathe to air there! can't imagine how starving med students survived the cost of living there!!
- 13 March 2010 at 12:35
- Helen said...
I say never explain irony - if people don't get it, well, that just makes it more ironic.
- 13 March 2010 at 16:24
- SteveQ said...
Before Helen claims it, I'll take Afton State Park in Minnesota.
A song you have to hear: "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" by the Pipettes. Thought it was the Ting Tings at first.
- 13 March 2010 at 17:14
- sea legs girl said...
SteveQ, Good timing with the song suggestion. I was just trying to find a few extra new songs to add to my playlist for the race tomorrow. Funny enough, I had just put That's Not My Name on there, too. It ALWAYS works for races.
Helen already took Afton State Park.
(Just kidding :))

i can't believe i lived in Boston for 3 years and never knew about this emerald necklace running route. (kicking myself)
- 13 March 2010 at 23:15
- PiccolaPineCone said...
SLG - I feel like you have created such momentum with this project! How are everyone's pieces going??
Just a quick question - any thoughts as to length? You referred to you & SR working on chapters, each piece = one chapter? ... therefore 1500 words? more? less? Am I getting ahead of myself? When did I get into this annoying habit of overusing the question mark?????
- 14 March 2010 at 09:13
- sea legs girl said...
20 comments!
- 14 March 2010 at 17:24
- sea legs girl said...
Piccola, yes, one piece equals one chapter. Unless like two people request their peices be one chapter. I am open-minded.
As for length. Please, please, please don't use word count!!!!! No counting of anything allowed unless you are writing a haiku or in iambic pentameter. I can't really imagine writing about running in iambic pentameter, though. I other words, don't think in terms of restrictions, just write your story.
It was a good question, though.
- 14 March 2010 at 17:34
- mmmonyka said...
That's an awesome idea SLG! I might not write anything (because I am a horrible writer, just ask any of my TAs) but I am definitely going to buy it once published:) But who knows, maybe I will be able to think of something interesting since I have been living (and RUNNING) in few different countries.
BTW, I have never lived in Boston but I have spent my college years in Providence RI. That's kinda close:)
- 15 March 2010 at 15:13
- SteveQ said...
Oh, hell, now I HAVE to do it in iambic pentameter!
- 15 March 2010 at 16:40
- SteveQ said...
Just posted the first couple of sentences of my chapter on my blog.
- 15 March 2010 at 17:20
- Helen said...
You can't count your own comments :)
I did already take Afton State Park - at least in my own head - but it's ok - it's worth 2 chapters!!!
- 16 March 2010 at 03:37
- sea legs girl said...
mmmonyka, don't let your notion that you're a bad writer stop you. If you've got a story to tell, I'd love to read it. But thanks for supporting the book either way.
Helen, I love the idea of two chapters about the same park. Partl because I have an inkling your stories will be more than slightly different.
26 comments! :)

argh! writer's block. I feel like I am so creative & eloquent in my head on my morning run then come baby's naptime i.e. writing time and it's all garbage!
- 17 March 2010 at 14:34
- sea legs girl said...
A problem I also am familiar with. Can you time the nap so it comes immediately following your run? I'm glad you are working on it, though! Often the best writing is the product of many days' editing and re-editing. Jack Kerouac didn't think so, but he also might have lied about how quickly he wrote On The Road, etc.

2. Try to match the buildings in Photos 2a and 2b with those shown in Maps 2 and 3.
* The images on the screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain high resolution versions of Photo 2a and Photo 2b, but be aware that they will take about 45 seconds and 75 seconds, respectively, to load with a 28.8K modem.

That tremor you may have noticed yesterday was the collective shudder of people who work from home, when they heard that new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has banned the practice. Mayer, in a memo soon to be legendary in human resources circles, declared that she needed her troops in the office as Yahoo climbs out of a crisis.
"To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side," Mayer wrote.
There have been a number of news reports suggesting that Yahoo employees exploited the company's work at home policy, which might explain why the company is in the situation that it's in. If that's the case, you can understand that Mayer is looking for a solution.
Mayer is certainly showing decisiveness in her first months at Yahoo, even returning to the job just two weeks after giving birth. But leaders aren't only decisive. They admit when they are wrong, and that's what Mayer should do here.
I am among the estimated 30 million Americans who work from remote locations, and I've done so off and on for more than a decade. In that time, I've built a career as a nationally known business journalist, written two of my four books, taught MBAs and undergraduates, and also honed my culinary skills.
I've worked in an office when I needed to be there, as I did in public radio, and spent ample time in the home office of my previous employer, The New York Times. Now, I divide my time between the campus at Central Michigan University and my home office in Ann Arbor, Mich. I can operate comfortably in both a remote and an on-site environment, but given a choice, I vastly prefer the ability to work from home.
People who've only worked in office environments often misconstrue what we do when we're not in the building. "I could never work from home," a friend told me a few years back. "I'd be watching soap operas and reading tabloids."
Well, you don't watch soap operas and read tabloids if you're serious about your career and giving value to your employer and your colleagues. I'm sure the shocked employees at Yahoo feel the same way, as they're bound to be letting Mayer know right now. The situation reminds me of something Professor John Whitney once said to our Columbia Business School class. Blanket declarations don't work, he told us. If you lay off 10 percent of the work force, you might have just gotten rid of the person who has the key to the bathroom.
Ever since Mayer's memo leaked, there's been a spirited conversation about the validity of working at home (or WAH, as it's nicknamed). In fact, the comments below reflect that. So does the chat we've had all this morning about it on Twitter.
Here's a feel for my typical day, and it doesn't begin by sleeping in. I'm up between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., just as many of my commuting colleagues are. After ablutions and breakfast, my first stop is Twitter (you can find me @mickimaynard) for a check of the headlines and conversations. Next, I'm reading deeper into the news.
I may have an 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. conference call, especially during earnings season. If I am driving from Ann Arbor to the CMU campus in Mt. Pleasant, I now hit the road. If I'm working at home, I'm starting in on the story I need to prepare that day, or sketching out my next lecture.
At some point, I take a lunch break. Sometimes, I go downtown to Kerrytown, where I like to have business lunches at Monahan's Seafood, or pop over to Zingerman's Roadhouse. Both those locations have wi-fi, so I can work before my appointment arrives, and stay afterwards for coffee or some more work. Throughout the day, I'm on social media, scouring the Web for information, setting up more appointments and calls for future interviews, checking out new apps and media technology.
Depending on family responsibilities, my work days can wrap up as early as 5 p.m. or go beyond 7 p.m. But they're never really over, since I'm always on the hunt for ideas that can turn into stories for Forbes, and my other media clients, or my food blog, CulinaryWoman. I'm constantly making notes to myself about topics I can introduce to my business journalism and entrepreneurial journalism students, and responding to their emails and texts. Since I'm responsible for posting and maintaining my Web site, I spend time on multi media projects, too.
There's no nine to five for me, even though I work remotely. And knowing the competitive culture of Silicon Valley, I doubt that any of the Yahoo employees working from home are limiting themselves to four hours of work before lunch and four after. If they're devoted to the company, and creative, they're thinking all the time.
Mayer is new to the Yahoo culture, and she certainly wants to send a message that she's going to do things differently. This is one of the top women in her field, and she knows she faces a tough job. But if her intent is to spark innovation, she picked the wrong battle, and now it's time to climb down.
It will not be seen as a defeat for her to say, "You know what? I was wrong" and reverse the working from home ban. She is well within her rights to say, "We're in a tough spot. For now, I need you in the office" as long as people know that long-term, their ability to work from home is preserved. If there are some abusers, and it's hard to believe that every single WAH from Yahoo is one, then deal with them. Don't punish the entire workforce to weed out the weak links.
As someone who has been a manager over the years, I know what she was trying to do: set out her priorities. And, employees like clear direction. I also know that people respect you if you listen, and show flexibility. All the people heaping criticism on Mayer for her "stone age" step will hopefully praise her, if she does reverse her decision. I know I'd want to work for a boss who showed that kind of leadership. Especially, from home.

England 29-18 Wales
England prevail to claim Triple Crown

Match Analysis
England won their first Triple Crown for 11 years and stayed in the hunt for the Six Nations title after reigning champions Wales wilted in glorious Twickenham sunshine.
In emphatically avenging a record drubbing at Wales' hands last season, England's 29-18 victory means if they beat Italy in Rome next Saturday and current tournament leaders Ireland lose or draw away to France, then Chris Robshaw's men will take the title. Wales' bid for an unprecedented Six Nations title hat-trick effectively ended on a sobering afternoon for a team that was also dismantled by Ireland four weeks ago.
Scrum-half Danny Care and centre Luther Burrell scored tries during the opening 35 minutes for England, while Owen Farrell kicked 19 points, landing all seven of his shots at goal. Only Leigh Halfpenny's astonishing accuracy - six penalties from six attempts - kept Wales interested, but they could have no complaints as England's dominance gained a rich and right reward on the scoreboard.
It was a landmark success in England coach Stuart Lancaster's two-year reign, and also struck an early psychological blow ahead of the countries' World Cup 2015 pool meeting in 18 months' time. Wales' woeful kicking strategy and tendency to concede penalties at regular intervals played into English hands, yet the hosts also possessed the game's sharpest attacking forces in Care and full-back Mike Brown.
England should arguably have won by more than they did as their impressive upward curve under Lancaster continues, but for Wales, it is back to the drawing board. England showed one enforced change from the side that ended Ireland's Grand Slam hopes a fortnight ago, with Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan replacing ankle injury victim Billy Vunipola.
Wales, meanwhile, welcomed back fit-again British and Irish Lions centre Jonathan Davies for his first Test start since early November, with lock Jake Ball replacing Luke Charteris, who is nursing a neck problem suffered in training four days ago. England, as if spurred on by their Millennium Stadium horror show of 12 months ago, blasted from the starting blocks and were ahead after just five minutes.
It took a superb tackle by Wales skipper Sam Warburton on his opposite number Robshaw to initially thwart England following prop David Wilson's break, but when the visitors then infringed, Care caught them napping. Wales were asleep defensively, and no-one laid a finger on Care as he scampered over following his quick tap penalty, with Farrell's conversion making it 7-0. It was England's first try against Wales since August 2011.
Halfpenny cut the deficit through an eighth-minute penalty, but Wales should have wiped it out completely when wing George North broke free, but he ignored an unmarked Dan Lydiate outside him and kicked into touch instead. It was a dreadful option by North, and England regained a seven-point advantage after Wales conceded a scrum penalty with Farrell punishing them from 40 metres out.
Although Halfpenny maintained his 100 per cent accuracy by kicking a third penalty, this time from halfway, Wales then imploded after a lineout inside their own 22. Hooker Richard Hibbard's off-target throw gave England an attacking opportunity, and they ruthlessly punished Wales when centre Billy Twelvetrees' superbly-placed kick was gathered by Burrell for his third try in four Six Nations games this season.
Farrell effortlessly landed the touchline conversion, before Wales were again indebted to Halfpenny, whose fourth successful penalty made it 20-12 and at least retained a glimmer of hope for the misfiring visitors that they could turn around a game England had dominated. And that optimism increased on the stroke of half-time when Halfpenny landed another long-range strike after England wing Jonny May was harshly penalised for a challenge on Jamie Roberts in the air.
Given how much England had dominated, Wales still trooped off just five points adrift in a game that had shades of their 1999 victory over England at Wembley. On that occasion Wales were outplayed for 40 minutes, but Neil Jenkins' boot kept them in it and they went on to win.
Wales needed a strong third quarter, yet it went England's way as two further Farrell penalties opened up an 11-point advantage and the visitors saw prop Gethin Jenkins sin-binned for a second successive match. Referee Romain Poite's patience with the scrum finally snapped, and prop Gethin Jenkins, who was equalling Stephen Jons' Wales cap record of 104, received a yellow card at a critical time in the contest.
Another Halfpenny penalty - his sixth - clawed Wales back to 26-18 behind, before Farrell closed the game out with his fifth successful strike, and Burrell was narrowly denied his second try after his foot brushed the touchline following a scintillating England move.

Walgreen joins exodus to private exchanges
Walgreen Co., the biggest U.S. drugstore chain, will move its workers into a private health insurance exchange to buy company-subsidized coverage, the latest sign of how the debate over Obamacare is accelerating a historic shift in corporate health care coverage.
About 160,000 Walgreen employees now will have to choose which coverage plan suits them best at a time of rising complexity in the health care system. While Walgreen said it will provide funding in 2014 equal to what workers get now, the move curtails uncertainty on future outlays, and there's no guarantee its contribution will rise if premiums do.
Walgreen joins Sears Holdings Corp. and Darden Restaurants Inc. in a private exchange run by Aon PLC that includes 18 companies and 600,000 people, Aon said. While the private effort isn't directly linked to Obamacare, the growing use of private exchanges similar to the law's public ones adds new fodder to the debate over the law's influence.
"For a while, large employers have been moving in this direction," said Thomas Buchmueller, a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business in Ann Arbor. "After the legislation was passed, they looked at the exchanges and said, 'This is something we can do.'"
Michael Polzin, a spokesman for Deerfield, Ill.-based Walgreen, denied that his company's move was driven by the Affordable Care Act's 2010 passage and provisions, saying, "It's something we've been looking at very closely in the last couple years."
"It's hard to link the two," Polzin said. "We want to continue to be very innovative in the health care we're providing employees, just as we're innovative as a health care provider."
The options offered by the private exchange offer similar levels of coverage to those in the Affordable Care Act's public exchanges, though workers will get their subsidies from their companies instead of the government, said Ken Sperling of Aon.
Other large employers, including International Business Machines Corp. and Time Warner Inc. have this year moved their retirees into private exchanges from company-picked plans. Trader Joe's Co., the closely held grocery store chain, has said it will move part-time workers at its 400 stores onto the Obamacare exchanges, and United Parcel Service Inc. decided to drop health benefits for 15,000 of its workers' spouses who can get insurance through another company.
Companies are "tired of the volatility, the complexity and the cost" tied to traditional health plans, said Sperling, the national health exchange strategy leader at Aon. "Volatility, complexity and cost — those are the things that run through health care right now."
Disappearing are the days of the company owning their workers' welfare, said Linda Barrington, the executive director of Cornell University's Institute for Compensation Studies.
Retirement plans such as "401(k) and the like require more of employees than did the traditional pension, albeit they also offer more 'choice,'" Barrington said in an email. "Choice can be good. But making the right choice requires educating oneself and discernment in the decision — both which are responsibilities that take time, and maybe some talent."
The move to put workers into private exchanges probably will gather steam, said Paul Fronstin, director of health care research at the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
"I expect it too, though I also expect it won't happen overnight," Fronstin said in an email. "Most major trends in benefits have taken decades to take off."
Walgreen's financial contribution to workers' health plans will be "very comparable to what we currently pay for their premiums," said Walgreen spokesman Polzin.
Aon, based in London, will help lower growing employer costs, which can be $10,000 per worker, Sperling said. Consumers in turn will get more choice, and experience in the private exchanges suggests that they'll opt for less coverage, rather than richer, more comprehensive plans, he said.
Walgreen has 8,117 stores in the U.S. The company will give employees the same amount of subsidy next year as it now pays for their premiums, Polzin said. Its health care costs will be little changed in 2014 from this year, he said, as opposed to what would otherwise be an increase.
Previously, Walgreen had two insurers each offering two plans, for four total options, Polzin said. The Aon exchange has five insurers each offering five different plans. Under the private exchange system, companies give workers a subsidy, and the employee will make up any difference in cost for more complex coverage.
In Aon's private exchange, which last year had about 100,000 workers in it, 42 percent of people chose health insurance with less coverage and lower cost than they had previously through their employer; 26 percent of people chose richer benefits.
"Most people don't need a whole lot of health care coverage," Sperling said. A small fraction of people, less than 10 percent, drive the bulk of health care costs, he said.
Most large employers are self-insured, meaning that they take on the financial risk of their employees' health costs. While an insurer typically administers the plan, if health costs go up in a given year because a lot of people get sick, the company pays. Under a subsidy model in the exchanges, a company's costs are more predictable and controlled, and the insurer takes the financial risk.
Aon's Sperling said it is part of companies getting away from things they don't specialize in, such as providing benefits, and letting them focus on running their businesses.
IBM said this month it will shift about 110,000 Medicare-eligible retirees to Towers Watson's Extend Health, the largest private Medicare exchange.
Former workers will find more options than the business could provide through its own plan, IBM said in a statement emailed Sept. 7. Caterpillar Inc. and DuPont Co. also have moved Medicare-age retirees onto the Extend exchange.
IBM said at the time that it had capped retiree health insurance subsidies in the 1990s, and the move wasn't about cutting costs, rather it was to give workers a greater choice of plans.

AUBURN � An Oakwood Avenue woman will be charged under the social host law with allowing her underage daughter to throw a drinking party in their home earlier this month, police said.
Katherine R. Hanley, 53, of 17 Oakwood Ave., is to be arraigned Oct. 4 in Central District Court in Worcester on the social host charge and and a charge of furnishing alcohol to a person under 21, according to Detective Lt. Jeffrey A. Lourie.
Police were called to Ms. Hanley's home about 11 p.m. Aug. 3 on a report of noise and found a group of teens, some attempting to run away. Police found beer, cups and bottles of hard liquor in the house and outside. Police said the teens at the home were ages 15 to 17.
Officers also found a 15-year-old girl highly intoxicated. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
The investigating officer, Bryan Pocarco, spoke with the teens. They told him a 21-year-old person bought the alcohol for them, but they refused to identify the person. Lt. Lourie said Ms. Hanley knew the teens were drinking in the home and allowed her daughter to have the party.

Good morning, friends.
I hope I�ve caught you humming or whistling a tune this morning.
You know, it�s really funny how our taste in music can change over the years
Mine certainly has.
I used to really enjoy �country� music.
But now, I can hardly tell the difference in country and pop and some that I don�t even know what to call it.
Having said that, let me say this.
Yes, yes, I know everybody to his own tastes, and I have solved the problem after a fashion.
I just reach over and turn the radio � or whatever is playing � off.
I remember one day when I was in a big way of fussing about something that was playing on the car radio.
Y-K-W looked over at me and said, "Frances, think about some of the songs from way back when."
"Like whut? I can't imagine anybody not liking, "I found my thri-ill on Blueberry Hill." I went on to sing more than he wanted to hear.
"How about going back a little further? Do you remember, �Froggie went a-courtin?'"
"That's a kid's song," I threw back.
"Not necessarily. I've heard your Daddy sing it."
That stopped me. Hmm. Froggie went a'courtin�. Let's see. How did that go? Let me think.
"Froggie went a-courtin� and he did ride, uh-huh"
It's coming back to me now.
"Froggie went a-courtin� and he did ride, uh-huh.
Froggie went a courtin� and he did ride,
A sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh."
Why do you reckon anybody would carry a sword and a pistol when he went a-courting?
"Rode up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh.
Rode up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh.
Rode up to Miss Mousey's door,
Where he had never been before, uh-huh."
Wait a minute.
Why would a frog court a mouse, for Pete's sake? And with a sword and a pistol by his side yet.
"Said Miss Mousey will you marry me, uh-huh?
Said Miss Mousey will you marry me, uh-huh?
Said Miss Mousey, will you marry me?
We'll live together in a hollow tree. Uh-huh."
Froggie, you ain't hitting on much.
You're dragging a sword and pistol to ask a mouse � a mouse, mind you � to marry you, and if you've never been to her house, you've most likely not even met the in-laws-to-be.
Bad move. Bad!
Not only that, you've asked her to live with you in a hollow tree, along with the sword and the pistol, I suppose
Tell you what, Miss M. Your best bet is to tell him you've got to shampoo your hair, and shut the door on him and his weapons.
Does the song make sense? No! None of the many versions I�ve heard or read make any sense atall.
But by far I prefer the one my Daddy used to sing.
Ah, yes. Froggie goes back to a time when my Daddy would sing this absolutely ridiculous song to our little ones while he bounced them on his knee.
And that�s enough for me.
OK, everybody. All together now:
�Froggie went a�courtin� and he did ride, uh-huh��

Zombie event a horror for those expecting payment
One month after a Southeast Texas zombie invasion that promised a Battle of the Bands contest paying a $10,000 grand prize to the winner and various other giveaways, participants are still waiting to receive their winnings. Zombie Voodoo Fest 2012, promoted by Emerging Magazine figureheads Ricky Buxton (aka Stefan duBois, aka R. Carroll Buxton) and wife Cher Ferroggiaro (aka Cheryl Lynn Buxton, aka Cherie Lynne Buxton, aka Cherilyn Ferroggiaro), is scheduled to have four events this year – one in Southeast Texas, which changed abruptly from Port Arthur to three different locations in Beaumont, and others in California, Virginia and Michigan. Beaumont was the first, held July 7 and 8; Michigan and Virginia are set for October. However, if the couple's foray into the zombie fest business is any indication, participants at the remaining tour stops will get more horror than they bargained for after the zombies have come and gone.
Ready for an invasion
Buxton and Ferroggiaro began promoting Zombie Voodoo Fest 2012 in November 2011, announcing a two-day event complete with hoards of undead, model contests and expectations of more than 50 contestants vying for the event's Battle of the Bands $10,000 grand prize. At that time, the Southeast Texas venue was in Orange. By the beginning of 2012, however, the venue had changed to Pleasure Island, slated for the first weekend in June, before it was ousted over failure to get proper permitting, according to Port Arthur Police Chief Mark Blanton. Next came Ford Park for a date in July, which changed yet again to the Montange Center before changing at last to The Gig on Crockett Street for a July 7-8 event. Zombie Fest's agenda remained intact, according to the promoters, but in the end, more than just the venue changed.
To start, dozens of bands might have been expected, but roughly one dozen competed at the actual event. Also notably absent from the event as originally promised was the 5K Run for Education awarding the first-place runner "a $10,000 cash award," Zombie Tag, guest celebrities, and a kids play area. And although initially stating the funds raised from Zombie Fest would benefit local public schools, the benefactor of the charity was ultimately changed to the Buxton/Ferroggiaro-owned International Children's Art Network (ICAN). Labeled as a domestic nonprofit corporation, ICAN was registered with the Texas Secretary of State on Dec. 29, 2011, at an address in Orange, but is not accepted at the IRS as a tax-exempt entity and has not filed Form 990s to show the entity's financial standings or divulge who is benefitting from the nonprofit's services.
Also, funds promised to Beaumont participants have not been dispersed. Battle of the Bands winner Angel Siren had yet to receive any prize money or equivalent when The Examiner caught up with lead guitarist P.J. Disharoon this week, Zombie Wedding couple Trenton and Ashley (Wells) Barlow had yet to receive their promised honeymoon package, Hot Zombie contest winner Rachel Disharoon hadn't received a penny of the $500 prize money she supposedly won, and The Gig was forced to collect money from tickets sales at the door of the event since Buxton and Ferroggiaro had failed to pay the venue prior to the event.
A zebra is a zebra
Buxton has been in trouble for dodging debt before, according to Public Data records. He has to his credit a theft of property by check conviction in 2004, theft of property by check conviction for a value of up to $20,000 in 1997, was ordered to spend 90 days confinement in Orange County in 2011 for "theft by hot check," and was accused by the Bexar County district attorney of issuing a bad check to pay child support.
"I didn't see that side of him before now," Zombie Bride Ashley (Wells) Barlow told The Examiner. "He was so nice, and I remember being so grateful to him when he first talked to us about this opportunity. I wish I would've known better then.
"It was too good to be true."
Barlow said she hadn't planned on wearing zombie makeup for her big day until Buxton approached her then-fiancée and asked if the young couple was interested in sharing their blessed union with a few thousand (it ended up being at best a couple hundred) zombies and Zombie Voodoo Fest revelers. Strapped for nuptial funding and faced with an offer of a free wedding dress and honeymoon, the betrothed jumped at the offer.
"We were suppose to be on our honeymoon right now," a very upset and pregnant Barlow said. "It's a bunch of crap, and it hurts my feelings. It upsets me that we entrusted these people with our wedding and they did this to us.
"We fulfilled our part; we did what we were suppose to do. I would much rather have gotten married at a church or the Justice of the Peace even, but I trusted (Buxton)."
Barlow said she has tried to contact Buxton and Ferroggiaro numerous times but has gotten the run-around. She did receive a call Aug. 8 from Buxton, but Barlow didn't get the response she was hoping for.
"He was screaming at me," she said. "I didn't know the band didn't get paid but he accused me of spreading lies and such. He just kept yelling and cussing at me, so I hung up."
Husband and soon-to-be father Trenton Barlow said honeymooning at this point is hardly worth the effort.
"It's not worth getting stressed out about, or (her) miscarrying our baby over this – or anything else, for that matter," he said. "When they changed the venue (for a third time) to the Montagne Center, it was already starting to sound a little fishy to me."
Ashley Barlow said she was tired of fighting for what she was promised, too, and offered words of advice for anyone else doing business with the Buxton/Ferroggiaro duo.
"I would let them people know (Buxton and Ferroggiaro) are scandalous," she said. "It was headache after headache dealing with them, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody."
P.J. Disharoon from Battle of the Bands winner Angel Siren said they still have hopes of collecting their prize.
"We were promised a grand prize of $10,000 for placing first in the two-day Zombie Fest Battle of the Bands," Disharoon confirmed to Examiner entertainment editor Chad Cooper. "As of now, no, we haven't received any funds. I'm not directly dealing with (Buxton) as our bass player is (but) as of now (Buxton) has been telling the band that they are waiting 30 days to receive the money from the insurance company (to pay the band)."
The next episode
With the next Zombie Fest tour date set just over a month away in Michigan at the Bates Haunted Sawmill, venue owner Robert Drubin is getting a little leery of the arrangement since he has yet to receive any contract information or payment agreement from Buxton regarding the event.
"The guy isn't up here yet, but I talk to him every couple weeks or so," he said. "It's a little weird that it's getting close to the date and things aren't done, but I don't know."
Drubin said he is going to question Buxton about what happened in Beaumont since he doesn't want the bands at his venue to pony up the $50 entry fee to be a part of the Michigan Battle of the Bands if there is indeed no payout.
"(Buxton) has a lot of questions to answer," he said.
Attempts to reach the couple through Buxton's Texas cell phone, toll-free dialing listed for Zombie Voodoo Fest and Emerging Magazine, and a contact number for "Cher" rerouted to "The Rejection Hotline" were all unanswered as of press time.

We've just heard the Chinese automaker Chery's halting the deal with DaimlerChrysler to build Chrysler-brand vehicles (like the horny li'l hornet) until they get a chance to talk to the three-headed dog that's soon to be owning the automaker. According to the AP:
"Zhang Li, the general manager of Chery Automobile Co. Ltd., told the German financial daily Handelsblatt the company has halted the project and wants to renegotiate its agreement on building a new compact for Chrysler...Zhang said the deal came as a "total surprise" for his company and it had not yet talked with Cerberus about the move."
Obviously Zhang has been living in a hole in the ground over the past few months because we know we've been talking about this for some time now.

For a natural effect: dab the foundation onto the face with the flat part and blend it using circular motions from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside.
For a buildable effect: blend the foundation onto the face and let it dry. Reapply but this time dab it on.
- Compact and loose powder foundations
For a light and natural effect: using the flat part, blend the foundation in a circular motion.
For a buildable effect*: moisten the sponge and apply the foundation moving from the inside to the outside and from top to bottom.
*for wet & dry formulas only
After each use, wash the sponge with warm water and mild soap, squeeze it to remove any excess water and let it air dry.

– David H. Adams, MD, Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Samin K. Sharma, MD, the Zena and Michael A. Weiner Professor and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, and Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, Associate Professor and Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, have performed the first implantation of the Medtronic CoreValve® Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prosthesis in the United States. The CoreValve System is a new device that treats severe aortic stenosis, which affects about 300,000 people worldwide. Designed to replace a diseased aortic heart valve percutaneously via a catheter, CoreValve potentially provides a safe and less invasive alternative to open heart surgery.
The normal aortic valve opens and closes each time the heart beats to allow blood to leave the pumping chamber of the heart. In many patients of advanced aged, the leaflets of the valve become calcified, leading to a narrowing or stenosis of the valve and symptoms which include shortness of breath on activity. Severe aortic stenosis mostly affects patients older than 70 years of age, and the standard-of-care is open heart surgery to replace the diseased valve. It is estimated over one-third of patients with severe aortic stenosis are ineligible for conventional surgery, and many more are at high risk by undergoing it. Left untreated, about half of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis will die within one year.
"There is an enormous unmet need in this patient population for a safe and effective treatment," said Dr. Adams, who is also the National Co-Principal Investigator for the Medtronic CoreValve U.S. FDA Pivotal Trial, along with Dr. Jeff Popma, of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. "CoreValve provides an exciting new option for these patients without the invasiveness of open heart surgery. We hope this FDA trial will help establish this treatment as an effective option for selected patients with severe aortic stenosis."
"In the past, high risk patients suffering from the most severe forms of aortic stenosis were often treated by balloon aortic valvuloplasty, which is effective for approximately six months. CoreValve at Mount Sinai gives us another tool to continue to treat the sickest of patients and provide long-lasting relief," said Dr. Sharma.
Aortic stenosis is a heart condition that occurs when the aortic valve narrows, preventing it from properly opening and closing, and diminishing blood flow between the heart and the rest of the body. The reduced blood flow increases pressure within the heart, causing the heart to weaken and function poorly. When aortic stenosis becomes severe and symptoms develop, it is life-threatening.
The first recipient of the Transcatheter CoreValve in U.S. is a 88-year-old male with recurrent heart failure due to severe aortic stenosis, whose symptoms recurred despite undergoing balloon aortic valvuloplasty three months earlier. His aorta was highly calcified, precluding traditional surgical aortic valve replacement. CoreValve implantation was deemed the only option for him to prolong his life span, and he underwent the procedure on December 17.
The Medtronic CoreValve System is a new technology designed to replace a diseased aortic heart valve without open heart surgery and without surgical removal of the diseased valve. In the Medtronic CoreValve U.S. Clinical Trial, the replacement valve is delivered primarily through a small opening in the femoral artery, threaded through arteries and across the aorta, and deployed in the native aortic valve. Once in place, the CoreValve is designed to take over the native valve's function and ensure that oxygen-rich blood flows into the aorta and circulates throughout the body.
"As the first center in the United States to implant this device Mount Sinai is once again demonstrating our commitment to providing innovative, treatments for our patients," said Wayne Keathley, President & Chief Operating Officer, The Mount Sinai Hospital. "Dr. Adams is a leader in this field and his work with our world-class interventional cardiology team led by Dr. Samin Sharma clearly demonstrates the strength and breadth of clinical talent at Mount Sinai."
Dr. Adams is a world-renowned leader in the field of heart valve surgery and mitral valve reconstruction. Last year, patients from more than 35 different states came to New York to be under the care of Dr. Adams and his team. He is the co-inventor of two mitral valve annuloplasty repair rings with Edwards Lifesciences, and the inventor of a new tricuspid annuloplasty ring with Medtronic; Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Dr. Adams receive royalties for these inventions.
Dr. Sharma is a world renowned interventional cardiologist, and, according to New York State Department of Health reports, has the highest angioplasty success rate (lowest mortality less than 0.2 percent) for an interventional cardiologist in the state since 1994.
Dr. Adams and Dr. Sharma lead a multidisciplinary team of physicians and clinical support personnel that will coordinate the Medtronic CoreValve trial at Mount Sinai.

Martin Chemnitz
If Martin Luther is considered the greatest theologian of the Lutheran Church, then Martin Chemnitz is without a doubt our second greatest Lutheran Father. Chemnitz is certainly deserving of the title "the Second Martin", and was the primary bulwark of orthodox Lutheran theology in the latter part of the sixteenth century.
Born in Treuenbrietzen, in 1522, he was the last of three children given to Paul and Euphemia Chemnitz. Chemnitz's life of education was varied and marked by constant moving (because of financial difficulties). He studied at Wittenberg (1536-1538), Magdeburg (1539-42), Calbe (1542), Frankfurt on the Oder (1543-44), where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, again at Wittenberg (1545-47) under the tutelage of Melancthon, and Königsberg (1547-53). At Königsberg he was able to obtain his Master of Arts degree, and began his study of theology (from 1550-1553) in the Duke's personal library. From there he again returned to Wittenberg, and was made a member of the faculty in 1554. Later that year, he accepted a call as coadjutor of Braunschweig to his friend Joachim Morlin and pastor of Martin Church, where he would remain until his death in 1586. During his time in Braunchweig he received his doctorate at the University of Rostock (1568), and took over the office of the superintendent (1567).
It was the latter part of the sixteenth century that proved to be one of the greatest battlegrounds for orthodox Lutheranism, which found itself facing many opponents and varied controversies. The Catholic Church, newly revitalized from the council of Trent (1545-1563), was now ready to take a decisive stand against the Protestants. John Calvin had come onto the scene, along with his corrupt theology. It was in the doctrines of the Lord's Supper and the Person of Christ that Calvinism posed its greatest threat to Lutheranism, with proponents of these errors masking their heterodoxy under the supposed title of "Lutheran" (these men were named "Crypto-Calvinists" because they hid their Calvinistic inclinations). Under the unsteady hand of Melancthon, Wittenberg itself became a hotbed for Crypto-Calvinists. Add to this the Osiandrian controversy, the Synergists and the Anabaptists, and one can clearly see that Satan was again hard at work trying to destroy the Gospel, which had been snuffed out in medieval theology, but God had again brought to light through Luther.
It was in these turbulent times that God graced our Church with the second Martin, who, using Scripture as his guide, soundly defeated the errorists in turn. In response to the Catholics he wrote his famous, four-volume work Examination of the Council of Trent, one of the great masterpieces of Lutheran theology. Against the Crypto-Calvinists he worked tirelessly, writing De Coena Domini (The Lord's Supper) in 1560, and De Duabus Naturis in Christo (the Two Natures in Christ) published in 1570, and expanded in 1578. But his greatest contribution to Lutheranism is his work in producing the Formula of Concord. In collaboration with Jacob Andreae, Phillip Selnecker, David Chytraeus, Andrew Musculus, and Christopher Korner, the Bergic Book was produced in 1577, which we today call the Solid Declaration of the Formula of Concord.
This was the flag under which orthodox Lutheranism rallied. Unbiased, it simply reproduced the Scriptural positions of the doctrines in question, taking its stance on the Bible and Luther. The doctrines of the Lord's supper and of the Person of Christ were hammered out, so that there was no place for the Crypto-Calvinists to hide. The work itself, written primarily by Chemnitz, was ascribed to by most of the Lutheran parts of the empire (Chemnitz's home town, Braunschweig, did not subscribe to it until years later, not because of doctrinal differences, but because of a personal quarrel between Duke Julius and Chemnitz).
We in the WELS would do well to better acquaint ourselves with Martin Chemnitz, both his life and his works. Our second greatest Father, he stands out as a theologian and pastor in the truest sense, following in the footsteps of the first Martin and taking an uncompromising stand on Scripture. The 17th century saying is certainly true (written above in Latin), "If the second Martin (Chemnitz) had not come, the first Martin (Luther) would not have stood."

A warm, sunny day of fishing feels light-years away around here. For the "Mad Fisherman,'' in Florida shooting an upcoming episode of "Charlie Moore: No Offense'' this week, a quiet day on the water was a lot closer at hand.
A warm, sunny day of fishing feels light-years away around here.
For the "Mad Fisherman,'' in Florida shooting an upcoming episode of "Charlie Moore: No Offense'' this week, a quiet day on the water was a lot closer at hand.
Or it could have been, if Moore was looking for quiet.
But his show on the NBC Sports Network isn't about a quiet day of solitary fishing any more than the "Charlie Moore Outdoors'' show on NESN has been.
"It was never, ever a fishing show,'' Moore said in a phone interview. "We're a lifestyle show. ... I'm taking the biggest names and taking them out (fishing).''
Through the years, his guests have included Boston sports giants from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to former Sox captain Jason Varitek, comedians like Lenny Clark, rockers Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd, even "Batman'' Adam West.
This week in Florida, he was hobnobbing with Red Sox great and longtime Southborough resident Luis Tiant.
Moore's shows have taken him to sites around the globe.
"Some are remote, some are five-star,'' he said, but a 2011 trip through the jungle "deep in Panama, that was surreal.''
Still, the Lynnfield native who now lives in New Hampshire remembers the local landscape as well.
Asked where he might recommend spending a day out on a boat in this neck of the woods, he said, "Cochituate is always a favorite, particularly in the spring.''
Moore's ties to our region include being honored last summer by Framingham's 200 Foundation for his charitable work on behalf of many causes, including the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.
Then there's the run-in involving a local cop.
"I got arrested for fishing.'' At least that's the way it looked in a scenario set up with help from super bass fisherman and former Framingham Police Sgt. Dennis Reardon. The year was 1998, Moore said, and "it was just doing stuff people weren't doing,'' at least not on shows with outdoor sports themes. The televised prank was a bit like a "Saturday Night Live'' skit that helped pave the way for adding layers of comic adventure to the show, he said. "We branched out.''
Moore's career got started when he was working for a landscaper and ended up at a job at TV and radio personality Billy Costa's home. At the time, Moore was in his mid-20s, married, with two kids and another on the way. Not exactly the type you'd peg as destined for stardom. But his pitch to Costa about a comic fishing show led to a few minutes on NESN's "Front Row,'' which grew into "Outdoors'' a few years later.
"I never forget where I came from,'' said the 42-year-old. "I always stay hungry. ... It makes you appreciate it a little more.''
He doesn't think his story of making a dream come true is unique, however.
"Everybody has a story. There's strong people, there's weak people. ... You just keep truckin'.''
He's "definitely coming out with a new book this year. It'll be a continuation of where the last one left off.'' The followup to "The Mad Fisherman: Kick Some Bass with America's Wildest TV Host'' will also include lots of recipes, he said. "I'm in love with cooking.'' In fact, when talking about favorite places to fish, the reasons Lake Winnipesaukee earns highest marks include "they've got so many good little restaurants'' in the area. Lake Champlain is another top choice for freshwater fishing.
As for favorite guests, each is "a unique time. Each week is unique. I've enjoyed all the guests.''
This Saturday night's "No Offense'' episode is slated to feature Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins legend Gerry Cheevers, while tonight's "Outdoors'' lineup on NESN includes classics with Red Sox standouts Varitek, Rico Petrocelli, Tim Wakefield, Bill "Spaceman'' Lee and "Dirt Dog" Brian Daubach.
But there's also room in the boat for non-bold-facers.
"I would really like to come into your hometown and have you show me what makes it a great destination to visit,'' Moore posts on the "No Offense'' page at charliemoore.com. Viewers are invited to email pitches to "show me the best way to fish in your area, the best places to eat and anything else that makes the lifestyle in your hometown special.''
Madness returns to Cochituate, perhaps?

Even though New Belgium Brewing's Fort Collins, Colo. facility is a testament to clean operations, CEO Kim Jordan knows that there's more to sustainability than just protecting the environment.
"It's groovy to have all these green systems, but a big part of being 'sustainable' is 'sustaining' jobs," said Jordan, speaking at Portland State University's The New Brew program Monday night.
Jordan and Hopworks' Urban Brewery's Christian Ettinger weighed in on the business of sustainable brewing during a talk before about 220 PSU students and brewing community advocates. The duo wowed the audience with several nuggets.
For instance, Ettinger pointed out that it uses more carbon to ship beer to Los Angeles by truck than it does to ship it to Shanghai.
"There's a lot of low-hanging fruit that companies can grab to help become more sustainable," he pointed out. That includes simple tasks such as turning out lights in empty rooms along with monitoring energy and water use whenever possible.
Jordan shared insights into New Belgium's employee-owned operations as well as the company's 32-state distribution process.
The full program, presented as part of PSU's Portland State of Mind program, will be available on PSU's website.
PSU's Institute for Sustainable Solutions and School of Business Administration, which oversees the school's brewing certificate program, presented the program.
