In the Matter of
Case No. 90 FSIP 126
Local 1, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (Union) filed a request for assistance with the Federal Service Impasses Panel (Panel) to consider a negotiation impasse under section 7119 of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute) between it and the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, White Oaks, Silver Spring, Maryland (Employer).
The Panel determined that the impasse should be resolved pursuant to written submissions from the parties with the Panel to take whatever action it deemed appropriate to resolve the impasse. Submissions were made pursuant to these procedures and the Panel has considered the entire record.
The Employer's primary mission is to research and develop explosive surface weapons. The bargaining unit consists of approximately 650 employees who work in jobs such as explosives technician, engineering technician, and program and budget analyst. This dispute, however, affects only those employees who work in the Employer's physical security office. The parties recently negotiated a successor collective bargaining agreement which was awaiting agency head review at the time of the Panel's initial investigation of this case.
The sole issue in dispute is whether smoking should be permitted between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the offices of the Physical Security Division.
1. The Union's Position
The Union proposes that smoking be permitted in the offices of the Physical Security Division between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. The past practice has been to allow smoking "as desired." When a newly-assigned security supervisor recently announced that she intended to prohibit smoking entirely, the Union proposed that smoking continue to be permitted, but only during the 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. time period. Its proposal is reasonable because during this time " normally one man is the only presence in the office[s] n and "the impact on other workers is negligible to nonexistent. n In addition, employees who work during these hours spend only 50 to 60 percent of their duty time in the security offices. A 14,000 BTU air conditioner, which is vented to outside, should ensure that the ill effects of sidestream and second-hand tobacco smoke on nonsmokers are minimal. Finally, the Union believes that the only reason that the supervisor proposed to disallow smoking is her personal dislike of the habit, and her wish to discipline "which she threatens daily.
2. The Employer's Position
The Employer essentially proposes that smoking "not be permitted at any time in the offices of the Physical Security Division." Its proposal is consistent with the activity's instruction providing employees a work environment "reasonably free" of tobacco contaminants. In this regard, the Employer's Safety Division concluded that smoking should not be permitted in the area because the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) recommended air exchange standards could not be met with the offices' air conditioner and the building's main ventilation system. Moreover, recently announced preliminary findings of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggest that "passive smoke causes as many as 3,800 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States" and "other respiratory symptoms are linked to passive smoking.
While the Union maintains that its proposal effectively would isolate smokers, and reasonably minimize the effects of residual or second-hand smoke on other employees and the public, such is not the case. A number of other employees "may frequent" the offices during the hours specified in the Union's proposal, and nonsmokers have complained that smoke is still present in the offices during the normal workday. The employees who would be affected by the smoking ban, on the other hand, perform "at least 75 percent of their duties outside" the security offices, and could easily avail themselves of designated smoking and outdoor areas. Finally, in addition to the building's indoor designated-smoking area and an outdoor smoking area only 50 feet from the physical security offices, both of which are easily accessible to smokers, "the activity is willing to designate an additional indoor smoking area which will be located approximately 240 feet" from the offices in question.
Having considered the evidence and arguments in this case, we conclude that this dispute should be resolved on the basis of the Employer's proposal. In our view, it has clearly demonstrated that the past practice of permitting smoking as desired in the security offices should be changed. In this regard, the Employer's Safety Division has concluded that the offices' ventilation systems are incapable of attaining ANSI's recommended air exchange standards and that smoking, therefore, should not be permitted. While the Union's proposal attempts to minimize the harmful affects of second-hand and sidestream tobacco smoke, we do not believe that restricting the hours during which smoking would be permitted would sufficiently protect the health of nonsmokers. This conclusion comports with the recommendations of the Surgeon General of the United States(1) and the EPA(2) that smoking should be restricted to separately ventilated areas or eliminated from buildings entirely.
As the Panel has stated elsewhere,(3) for those who choose to smoke, there should be some accommodation. In this regard, we note that the Employer has offered to designate an additional indoor smoking area in relatively close proximity to the physical security offices. We are persuaded that, in conjunction with those smoking areas which already exist inside and outside the building, the needs of employees in the Physical Security Division who choose to smoke should be adequately met.
Pursuant to the authority vested in it by section 7119 of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and because of the failure of the parties to resolve their dispute during the course of proceedings instituted pursuant to section 2471.6(a)(2) of the Panel's regulations, the Federal Service Impasses Panel under section 2471.11(a) of its regulations hereby orders the following:
The parties shall adopt the Employer's proposal.

I noted this link (Korea.net) today with interesting information on adoption of Korean flag. Including a June 29, 1942 date for adoption by the exile government of the flag.
King Gojong appointed Bak Yeoung-hyo as his ambassador to Japan in September 1882. While aboard ship heading for Japan, Bak drew a national flag with a taegeuk circle but included only four trigrams instead of eight, and started using the flag on the 25th of that month. On October 3, Bak reported this change to King Gojong who formally proclaimed the Taegeukgi as the national flag on March 6, 1883. For some unknown reason, however, he did not have formal instructions published at that time on how to make the flag. In fact, it wasn't till June 29, 1942, that the provisional Korean government in exile enacted a law on the uniform method of making the national flag. The law was promulgated but as the government was in exile, it was not widely known to Koreans at home still under Japanese colonial rule.Ben Cahoon, 25 March 2008
Following the founding of the Republic of Korea on August 15, 1948, the government felt that it should codify the method of making the national flag. This prompted the government to form a special commission in January 1949 that issued the provision on the national flag on October 15 of that year. Since then, the Republic of Korea has been using the Taegeukgi as the national flag.
Standard color shades of Taegeukgi, the Korean National Flag are as follows: in the CIE System, the x, y, and Y coordinates for the red are x=0.5640, y=0.3194, Y=15.3; for the blue, x=0.1556, y=0.1354, Y=6.5. Alternatively, in the Munsell System of Color Notation, the red corresponds to 6.0R 4.5/14, and the blue to 5.0PB 3.0/12. In the Pantone Matching System, 186C red and 294C blue are recommended.
Taegeukgi, the national flag of the Republic of Korea, consists of a blue and red yin-yang circle in the center, one black trigram in each of the four corners, and a white background.
The white background of Taegeukgi symbolizes light and purity and reflects the Korean people's traditional affinity for peace.
The yin-yang circle, divided equally into a blue portion below and a red portion above, represents the dual cosmic forces of yin (blue) and yang (red). It symbolizes universal harmony, in which the passive and the active, the feminine and the masculine, form the whole. The four trigrams of Geon, Gon, Gam, and Li, which surround the yin-yang circle, denote the process of yin and yang going through a series of changes and growth.
Geon, with three solid bars in the upper left-hand corner, denotes "heaven". Gon, with three evenly divided bars in the lower right-hand corner, denotes "earth". Gam, with one evenly divided bar on each side of one solid bar in the upper right-hand corner, denotes "water". And Li, with one solid bar on each side of one evenly divided bar in the lower left-hand corner, denotes "fire."
Collectively, the yin-yang circle and the four trigrams represent universal harmony and unity. Taegeukgi embodies the ideals of all Koreans, who have pursued creativity and prosperity under universal principles and truth.
I just opened by chance my Crampton's Complete Guide to Flags, 1990
[cra90f], just on the page where Korea is and
noticed a sentence that did not sound familiar.
So, it says: South Korea has kept the flag of the former Kingdom of Korea,
although it has been modified. ... and the trigrams (kwae) are reduced from eight
to four."
So, what was the flag of the Kingdom of Korea with 8 kwaes? When did the change

I think the number 8 comes naturally (2x2x2). Either of the three lines in a trigram can be either yin (- -) or yang (---). According to my I Ching, the symbolism is this:
Chinese wind rose with 8 kwae
by Mark Sensen
The I Ching, the "Book of Changes", mentioned by Ole consists of
the 64 combinations you get by combining the 8 kwae and was and is used
by fortune-tellers to give answers to questions. [Source: Hans Biederman, "Prisma
van de symbolen", 1991/1996, Dutch translation of "Knaurs Lexicon der Symbole"]
The flag was first hoisted 22 August 1882 when the first ambassadors were
sent to Japan, an adopted officially 27 January 1883. Korea was occupied by
Japan in 1905 and annexed on 22 August 1910. After the liberation the country
was divided along the 38th degree of latitude. The Republic of Korea was established
in the southern (American) zone on 15 August 1948, which readopted the flag
in the same year when the colours and shape were established by law. On 25 January
1950 the flag was adopted officially when the kwae were revised slightly.
In 1984 the lay-out was again slightly changed. [Sources: Barraclough, Flags

The very same image (submitted 2009, above) but flipped horizontally is shown as the oldest preserved Korean flag. The flag was offered by King Gojong (Joseon dynasty) to his diplomatic counsel– the American counsul Owen Denny taking it when he went back to the US in 1890. Accordingly, the flag is known as "Denny Taegeugki".
After Denny's death in 1900, his descendants kept the flag which was
returned to Korea in 1981. Registered as Cultural Heritage in 2008, the
flag – 1.8 m in width and 2.6 m in length – is made of hand-sewn cotton.

Korea, 1893 | Royal Korean Consulate in Hamburg 1893 |
images by Antonio Martins |
I have a photocopy of an article by H.G. Ströhl called "Wappen und Flagge
von Korea" in Herold, Oct. 1893, nr. 10, XXIV. It shows
two flags. The first is labeled "Koreanische Flagge" and is like the modern
flag, but the yin-yang - sign is much more intricate and the upper part is
blue, the lower blue. According to the text normally only the 4 main kwae
appear on the flag, most of the time blue. It also says that the arrangement
of the kwae is not always the same. The second flag shown is the one flown
at the Royal Korean Consulate in Hamburg, and has 8 kwae, coloured
yellow. The yin-yang - sign is like on the modern flag, but rotated 90 degrees
anti-clockwise. I have some doubts if the arrangement of these 8 kwae
is correct, since two opposing kwae are not each others inversion.
On the image of an old Chinese wind rose shown in the article they are inverted,
so maybe that arrangement is more correct.
Mark Sensen, 14 January 1999
It is interesting to note that the flag called the Royal Korean Consulate
flag has a different arrangement of the trigraphs. I have noticed that the
Koreans are very exact in describing the layout of their flag (10:15). Yet
the flag that is flown on holidays is not of the same proportions as that
shown in the official description of their flag, the main difference being
the addition of extra white to the field of the flag on the side away from
the flag pole. The additional material gives the flag the same length as the
US flag (10:19).
The ordering of the trigrams in the tooth edge flag matches that of the
Hou Tian (latter heaven) ordering of the trigrams of the Chinese Yi Ching.
Patrick Kirol, 11 March 2000
During the Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945) the Korean t'aeguk circle
flag was prohibited to use.
The Japanese governor of Korea's flag was used
that is light blue flag with Japanese national flag (hinomaru) in a canton
like British blue ensign despite of a different color shade. The canton is
one fourth of whole flag in size. The light blue stands for justice, fairness
and philanthropy.
Korea used a similar flag to present flag. The t'aeguk is longer than current one and colour was reverse: blue over red. The black four trigrams are placed in differently: There were two broken and one unbroken lines in upper left/ three unbroken lines in upper right/three broken lines in bottom left/one broken and two unbroken lines in bottom right.
An old Japanese flag book published in 1876/1854 shows square yellow flag
with red rugged border as a Korean King's standard. The flag bears a green
dragon having red tongue and gray clouds.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 21 March 1999
The early history of the Korean national flag seems to have remained rather
obscure, according to a paper by Elizabeth Pyon published on-line in the Korea
Herlad, 18 December 2001.
The paper reports recent findings on the invention of the first Korean
national flag, which seem to disagree with the traditional explanations. The
research was done by Dr. Kim Sang-Sup, a "reformist" researcher specialized
in the Yi-ching. Dr. Kim based his conclusions on several historical official
documents of the end of the 19th century.
The national Korean flag was used for the first time by a Korean diplomatic
mission sent to Japan in 1882. This was the first diplomatic mission ever
sent by Korea. King Gojong ordered the Chief of the delegation, Prince Pak
Yeong-Hyo, to hoist the Korean national flag on the vessel used by the mission.
These are historical facts. Moreover, it is often said that King Gojon himself
designed the flag in the beginning of the 1880s. He wanted to express his
resistance to foreign influence and his willing to preserve the independence
of his Kingdom.
Unfortunately, this theory is not backed up by any serious evidence. The
historical records studied by Dr. Kim give a completely different history.
In 1875, a Japanese fleet sailed too close to the Ganghwa Island and had
an altercation with the Korean army. The Koreans shot the Japanese flag. This
was used as a pretext by the Japanese army for a retaliation campaign. Before
this event, there was little interest in Korea for a national symbol. King
Gojong asked his suzereign, the Emperor of China, for advice on the question
of the flag. Chinese experts suggested a flag similar to the Chinese flag
of the time, a dragon with five claws on a yellow background. The Korean court,
however, rejected the proposal of a dragon with four claws on a blue background,
which was considered "too sophisticated".
In April 1882, an official Korean-Chinese meeting was held to discuss the
question of the Korean flag. The "teaguk" emblem was proposed for the first
time during this meeting. Official documents of the Korean Royal court state
that the Chinese delegate Ma Chien-Chung promoted the use of the Yin-Yang
spiral in red and blue and eight combinations of the Yi-ching, and imposed
his views to the Korean delegate Kim Hong-Jip. Ma Chien-chung explained the
symbolism of his proposal. The eight Yi-ching diagrams matched the eight Korean
provinces, and red was the colour of the King whereas blue was the colour
of ordinary people. Korea eventually adopted its flag under Chinese pressure
and used it for its first diplomatic mission as said above.
The first version of the "taeguk" was very close to the original Yi-Ching
diagram, which includes eight subdiagrams. The deletion of four of these subdiagrams
is reported in the diary of Prince Pak Yeong-Hyo. The Prince showed the original
flag design to James, the British captain of the vessel used for the mission.
James found the design too complicated and proposed to delete four of the
eight Yi-Ching diagrams.

"Discovery of Old Flag Discredits 'Taegukgi' Legend
by Yu Seok-jaeThe oldest picture of a "Taegukgi," the national flag of Korea, has been discovered, giving insight into how the flag's symbols came to be used. The Taegukgi was found in the "Flags of Maritime Nations," issued by the U.S. Navy Department's Bureau of Navigation in July 1882, and with its red and blue yin-yang symbol and four black trigrams has the same form as the current Korean flag. This Taegukgi would be two or three months older than the one used by Park Yeong-hyo, who is known as the first to make and use a four- trigram flag. Park did so during a diplomatic mission to Japan from August to September of 1882.oldest Taegukgi, the national flag of Korea, was found. This version is listed in `Flags of Maritime Nations,' published by the Bureau of Navigation at the U.S. Navy Department in July 1882. This version uses the four trigrams from the Book of Changes. Until now, Park Yeong-hyo was known as the first person to use four trigrams from the Book of Changes. The flag was published two or three months before Park moved to Japan.

Note: bibliographic information on the Flags of Maritime Nations is at [usn82]
Yoon Sojung reports on Korea.net, 29 February 2008, the discovery of a copy of the Korean national flag dated 1882.
[...]Discovered in the National Archives of the United Kingdom, this copy of the flag was enclosed in a letter written by then-Japanese vice foreign minister Yoshida Kiyonari to U.K. ambassador to Japan Harry Parkes in November 1882, according to Korea's Independence Hall. In the letter, the Japanese vice foreign minister introduced the copy as the national flag of Korea to the British ambassador.
This copy shows one of the oldest designs, which was originally created by Bak Yeong-hyo (1861-1939) during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in September 1882.
Bak was appointed by Emperor Gojong (1852-1919), as Joseon's ambassador to Japan in September 1882. While aboard a ship heading for Japan, Bak drew a national flag with a taegeuk circle and included only four trigrams, and started using the flag on the 25th of that month. On October 3, he reported this to King Gojong, who formally proclaimed the Taegeukgi as the national flag on March 6, 1883.
This copy has a taegeuk circle painted in red and blue representing the yin and yang that symbolizes universal harmony, one black trigram in each of the four corners and a white background. The white background of taegeukgi symbolizes light and purity and reflects the Korean people's traditional affinity for peace. The four trigrams of Geon, Gon, Gam, and Li, painted in blue in this copy, which surround the yin-yang circle, denote the process of yin and yang going through a series of changes and growth.
The image of the flag copy, shown on "Korean.net" casts some doubt on
the 1893 flag reported by H.G. Ströhl in Herold (above).

In 1906 Japanese Resident General Office was set up and the light blue
Resident General flag charged with Hinomaru in the canton was adopted on
February 14th 1906.
The colour of light-blue symbolized justice, fairness and philanthropy.
In the 1906 Army for justice led by Kho Kwang Soon in Chollanam-do used Taeguk
flag with an inscription of "We will recover national sovereignty soon"
when they fought against Japanese troops. This design was adopted later as a war
flag of Recovery Army which was set up to smash Japanese troops and recover
homeland sovereignty.

I saw on TV recently what seems to be the first flag of the Republic
of Korea. This was on the TV show M*A*S*H, a show from the 1970s, but
set in the times of the Korean War. The flag references they have (the
show is set on a US Army medical base) are quite accurate (i.e. a 48-star
flag flies over the compound, along with a UN and S. Korean flag), so
I don't doubt the authenticity of the flag. The flag was shown in a
good shot in the episode "Welcome to Korea" (season opener of season
5. The major differences: the four corner elements are smaller and closer
to the corner, and the ying-yang is on its side. The ying-yang also
appeared to be drawn differently, but I couldn't get a clear enough
shot of it to tell for sure how it appeared.
David Kendall, 29 December 1998
The Korean flag was slightly changed in
21 February 1984, but the disposition of the ying yang seems strange
(left blue, right red instead red over blue). I checked some plates
pre-1984 and in all the plates the flag is red over blue. The flag was
not adopted until 1950 but was in use de facto after 1945; perhaps the
design posted is derived from the designs used from 1945-50.

Hardface Clanton
Hardface Clanton - Tunica
Long before casinos brought legalized gambling and big-name entertainment to Tunica, African American entrepreneur Harold "Hardface" Clanton (1916-1982) ran a flourishing operation here that offered games of chance, bootleg liquor, and the best in blues music. Nicknamed for the stone face he wore during poker games, Clanton owned several businesses, including a cafe near this site and "The Barn" on Old Mhoon Landing Road, where most of the action took place.
Harold "Hardface" Clanton was a legend not only in Tunica but across the country, in both blues and gambling circles. Though never elected to office, he was called "the black sheriff" of the county and was reputed to be Tunica's "first black millionaire" as well. Recalled with fondness and admiration by blacks and whites alike, Clanton operated in an era when Tunica County steered its own course when it came to gambling and alcohol statutes. Gambling helped fuel the economy, drawing money from the many out-of-town participants and providing employment for locals. Hardface's activities helped pave the way for Tunica County to legalize casino gambling in 1991. It was the first county on the Mississippi River to do so.
Clanton was born into a large farming family on May 29, 1916. He had only a grammar school education, according to his U.S. Army enlistment papers from 1943. However, his term in the military turned out to be both educational and profitable–he came home loaded with cash he had won from servicemen and with enough gaming experience to start a business of his own. He opened Harold's Cafe at 856 Magnolia Street in Tunica and later built "The Barn" four miles west of this site. He also raised cotton and at times ran cafes in West Memphis and on Prichard Road in Tunica. B. B. King, Bobby Bland, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Albert King, Sonny Boy Williamson No. 2, Robert Nighthawk, Frank Frost, Houston Stackhouse, and many other renowned blues artists provided music for Hardface and his clientele. Many of the local bands Hardface hired were led by drummers: Sam Carr of Lula, James "Peck" Curtis of Helena, and the peg-legged Roosevelt "Barber" Parker of Tunica. Parker and his Silver Kings Band once had a radio show in Memphis on WDIA.
Hardface's reputation reached from Las Vegas to Cicero, Illinois, the Chicago suburb famed for its Mafia connections. According to a local anecdote, one Monday morning he was asked about the stacks of cash he had accrued. He replied, "Oh, some boys down from Cicero thought they knew how to throw the dice." Dice games brought in the money for him in Tunica, but Clanton loved to play a three-card poker game called kotch or cotch. He traveled often to gamble himself, superstitiously choosing a different car for each road trip to Texas, Louisiana, or Vicksburg. Some say the nickname Hardface came from his famous poker face, while another story has it that during his younger days, he sometimes lived the gambling life 24 hours a day, sleeping with his face against the hard surface of the craps tables. Clanton died on June 4, 1982. So many people turned out to pay their respects that his funeral had to be held at the Rosa Fort High School gymnasium.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is awarding more than $241 million in grants to bolster U.S ports, part of the Biden administration's near-term plan to address America's clogged supply chain with infrastructure improvements to speed the flow of goods.
The transportation money is being made available immediately to 25 projects in 19 states. Next year, the amount of money for port improvements will nearly double to $450 million in grants annually for five years under President Joe Biden's new infrastructure law.
"U.S. maritime ports play a critical role in our supply chains," Buttigieg said with Thursday's announcement. "These investments in our nation's ports will help support American jobs, efficient and resilient operations and faster delivery of goods to the American people."
Biden on Wednesday touted the coming grants as one of a series of efforts that will alleviate supply bottlenecks over the short and long term.
"Earlier this fall we heard a lot of dire warnings about supply chain problems leading to a crisis around the holidays, so we acted," Biden said. "We brought together business and labor leaders to solve problems and the much predicted crisis didn't occur. Packages are moving. Gifts are being delivered. Shelves are not empty."
The grant money includes $52.3 million to help boost rail capacity at the port in Long Beach, Calif., with a new locomotive facility, 10,000-foot support track and extensions of five existing tracks to speed up freight movement while cutting down the number of truck trips required to do that.
Other recipients include:
— Portsmouth, Virginia, $20 million, to help build out a supply chain for the offshore wind industry.
— Brunswick, Georgia, $14.6 million, to build a fourth berth for cargo ships at Colonel's Island Terminal.
— Houston, $18.3 million, to help pay for a 39-acre greenspace at the Bayport Container Terminal.
— Tell City, Indiana, $1.6 million, to construct a 40-foot diameter pier on the Ohio River that can be used direct barge-to-truck unloading of cargo.
— Delcambre, Louisiana, $2 million, for dock restoration and climate resiliency.
In recent months, higher prices have eaten into wages and turned public sentiment on the economy against Biden in polls. One of the obstacles for reducing inflation amid a coronavirus pandemic has been backlogged ports with ships waiting to dock at major transit hubs, causing shortages and leaving some store shelves depleted.
Buttigieg's announcement seeks to build upon recent moves by the Transportation Department to reduce supply chain congestion, such as by allowing port authorities to redirect leftover money from grant projects. For example, the Georgia Ports Authority is using $8 million to convert its inland facilities for the port of Savannah into container yards, freeing up dock space and speeding the flow of goods to their final destinations. Buttigieg last Friday toured the port, which his department says has seen the number of ships waiting at anchor fall from over 30 to six last week, while long dwelling containers have been cut in half.
Earlier this year, the Biden administration sought to reduce delays by working to move major ports to 24/7 operations. The administration also is seeking to improve working recruitment and retention in the trucking industry.
Still, supply chain issues linger, and the steps taken by the administration have shown that there is no quick fix to the problems that have been hurting smaller businesses and causing consumers to face higher prices. The Transportation Department said Thursday the projects receiving grants vary widely in readiness to get off the ground and it could take months before consumers can start to feel the effects from the improvements.

Author Interview: Laurie Viera Rigler & Giveaway
Booking Mama: I love the concept for CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT – it's such a unique idea to combine time travel with a historical fiction-type book. How did the idea for this novel come to you?
Laurie Viera Rigler: Hi, Julie, and thanks for asking me about CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT. The idea didn't come about deliberately; I wasn't trying to think of an idea for an Austen-inspired novel or an idea for any novel. I was just standing in my kitchen one day and saw, in my mind's eye, this twenty-first-century Austen devotee, Courtney Stone, waking up in that four-poster bed in 1813 England in someone else's body.
Booking Mama: To write a historical fiction book like this, you must have done a ton of research to make it "feel" authentic. What types of research did you conduct, and how much time did you spend doing the research for CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT?
Laurie Viera Rigler: I spent six years writing the book and did research throughout that entire period. I read many books and periodicals about the period, traveled to England, and made use of excellent Internet resources such as Google Books and the Jane Austen Society of North America's website, http://jasna.org. I also conducted some experiential research (not time-traveling, unfortunately) by taking English country dance lessons and going to a few balls, including one I attended with my husband in which I discovered that English country dance is indeed a very sexy thing to do with the handsomest man that ever was seen.
Booking Mama: Jane Austen is huge right now with so many books and movies out there! Why do you think she is so popular today, almost 200 years since she wrote her novels?
Laurie Viera Rigler: What makes Jane Austen timeless is her keen observation of human nature, and human nature has not changed at all in the past 200 years. That is why we can read about Elizabeth and Darcy and see ourselves in a heroine who thinks she knows everything about another person and realizes she's been blinded by the same pride and prejudice she ascribed to him. That is why we can see ourselves in Anne Eliot of Persuasion and relate to someone who has been misguided and unappreciated, and who finally gets a second chance to make things right. The other novels have equally resonant universal themes. Plus there is the pure delight of reading a well-constructed, funny, and touching story with a satisfying conclusion and so many layers of mastery that it can be read again and again with increasing pleasure.
The movies attempt to capture that mastery, and some succeed better than others. Emma Thompson wrote the best Austen screenplay, in my opinion, because she truly captured some of that Austen wit and genius. In any case, the movies are almost always fun escapist entertainments, providing a doorway to another time and place, an accessible and low-risk form of time travel. And they are an excellent way to introduce potential readers to Austen's novels.
Booking Mama: I found the ending to be very interesting, and I like how you left the ending open for different interpretations by your readers. As the author of the story, do you have a definite theory on the ending or does your opinion change?
Laurie Viera Rigler: What an intriguing question! The ending has a very specific meaning for me. However, once I started hearing various interpretations of the ending from my readers, I decided not to interfere with the individual reader's interpretation by imposing my own. Generally, the interpretations fall into two main categories, but to say any more might spoil it for those who have not yet read the book. I will only say that the ending is a truly happy one, and that my protagonist gets exactly what she wants.
Booking Mama: Your second novel is kind of being described as a sequel to CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT since it will have some of the characters who were in the first book– this time Jane finds herself in the body and life of a 21st-century woman. Did you always know that you wanted to write this book when you began CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT, or did you decide to tell this story after the success of your first book?
Laurie Viera Rigler: The sequel to CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT is more like a parallel story/sequel in that it follows the adventures of Jane Mansfield (the nineteenth-century character from CONFESSIONS, not the twentieth-century screen goddess) who has woken up in Courtney Stone's twenty-first-century life (and body). So basically, while Courtney is taking over Jane's life in the first book, Jane is taking over Courtney's life in the second book.
The idea for the second book came up while I was writing CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT. I did consider including Jane's twenty-first-century story in the first book; however, it just didn't feel right. Her journey is a very different journey, and it just didn't fit inside the first book. So I decided it would be my second novel, and I decided this way before I had a publisher.
Booking Mama: As I read this book, I could totally picture it as a movie. Is there any chance that CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT will appear on the big screen? Are there any specific actors/actresses you see in the roles?
Laurie Viera Rigler: I too would love to see CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT as a movie, and the rights are available if some clever producer would like to make me an offer I can't refuse. There are so many wonderful actors and actresses I admire that I couldn't possibly limit my fantasy choices. But I've certainly enjoyed reading and participating in the forum thread on my website that's devoted to casting the movie. [http://www.janeaustenaddict.com/forum.php?subject_id=21&message_id=42#42]
Booking Mama: I have to admit that I am not a huge "Jane Austen Addict;" but after reading your novel, I have to say that I want to re-visit some of her books. That has to make you pretty happy if you're having that effect on your readers. Besides creating some new Austen fans, what else would you like for your readers to learn from or take away from this book?
Laurie Viera Rigler: I can't tell you how happy that makes me, Julie. It was my intention to write this book so that it would be completely accessible to those who had never read Austen or who had read a little Austen. And then there are all sorts of allusions to the novels that Austen addicts like myself would enjoy as well. It is tremendously gratifying to me that someone who reads my book would then become interested in revisiting Austen or reading her for the first time, which I have heard as well.
What I'd like readers to take away from this book, aside from the pleasure of a fun read, is a desire to explore some of the central questions that Courtney faces. One of those questions is: What makes up my identity? Am I who I am because of what I remember, or because of what people remember about me? Am I whoever people think I am, or am I someone else entirely? And what would I be willing to give up to live in a different time, and what would I gain?
Booking Mama: What is the best thing about being a writer? What is the strangest thing that's happened to you since your novel was published?
Laurie Viera Rigler: The best thing about being a writer is being able to immerse myself in the world of my protagonists. It is a privilege and an adventure to see a whole new world through their eyes. I may not, in "reality," have time-traveled to Jane Austen's world and switched identities with a Regency gentlewoman, but thanks to Courtney I feel like I've shared her experiences.
The strangest thing that's happened to me since my novel was published was seeing my book in an airport bookstore, because back when I was fantasizing about being published I was traveling with my husband, and in an airport bookstore I said, wouldn't it be fantastic one day to see my book here?
Booking Mama: Besides Jane Austen (of course), who are some of your favorite authors and what are some of your favorite books?
Laurie Viera Rigler: I adore Zadie Smith. On Beauty is one of my favorite books and very much reminds me of Austen, even though it is an homage to E.M. Forster's Howard's End. I also love Nick Hornby, who also reminds me of Austen (About a Boy, High Fidelity, Long Way Down, How to Be Good). And I love Ian McEwan (Atonement, On Chesil Beach), Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (Vine of Desire, Sister of My Heart), Jhumpa Lahiri (The Namesake), and so many other authors. I'm an avid reader. A few novels I've recently read and loved: Keeping the House by Ellen Baker, Fifteen Minutes of Shame by Lisa Daily, Angelica by Arthur Phillips, The Jewel Trader of Pegu by Jeffrey Hantover. I could go on and on but will restrain myself!
Thanks again for asking me about CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT. It's been a lot of fun talking to you, Julie, and I hope to do it again soon!
A huge thanks goes out to Ms. Viera Rigler for this interview. If you would like to learn more about CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT, you can visit the book's website.

JavaScript Packaging Guidelines
Please note that this section really only applies to JavaScript libraries intended for use on the web. Server-side JavaScript runtimes like Node.js have their own guidelines, and software like GNOME which embeds JavaScript for extensions have their own directories and policies as well.
Naming Guidelines
The name of a JavaScript library package MUST start with
then the upstream name. For example: js-jquery
To ensure the presence of the necessary RPM macros,
all packages that provide JavaScript in %{_jsdir}
MUST have:
BuildRequires: web-assets-devel
To ensure the availability of the necessary directories,
all packages that provide JavaScript in %{_jsdir}
MUST have:
Requires: web-assets-filesystem
HTTP daemon-specific configuration package,
such as web-assets-httpd
since they could be used by any HTTP daemon.
RPM Macros
Macro | Normal Definition | Notes |
The directory where JavaScript libraries are stored |
Install Location
If a JavaScript library can be executed locally or consists purely of JavaScript code, it MUST be installed into a subdirectory of
. -
. For more information, see the Web Assets guidelines. -
If a package contains JavaScript code that is only used as part of a web application, and it is not useful to any other applications whatsoever, it may continue to ship that code along with the application. However, that does not absolve it from complying with the rest of these guidelines.
If a package contains JavaScript code that is not useful on the web, but only in locally run software (e.g. Node.js or GNOME shell extensions), it should use the appropriate directory for its runtime, not
Server Location
JavaScript code is included as part of the general Web Assets framework.
Therefore, %{_jsdir}
is available on Fedora-provided web servers
by default at /_sysassets/javascript/
For instance, jQuery may be installed in %{_jsdir}/jquery/jquery-min.js
so web applications that need to use it can simply include this HTML tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_sysassets/javascript/jquery/jquery-min.js"></script>;
Regardless, web applications may want to make
subdirectories of %{_jsdir}
under their own directory via aliases or symlinks
for compatibility purposes
or to eliminate needless deviation from upstream.
If a JavaScript library typically is shipped as minified or compiled code, it MUST be compiled or minified as part of the RPM build process. Shipping pre-minified or pre-compiled code is unacceptable in Fedora.
The compiler or minifier used by upstream should be used to compile or minify the code. If the minifier used by upstream is unable to be included in Fedora, an alternative minifier may be used. See this page for a list of known problem areas and suggestions for workarounds.
Additionally, the uncompiled/unminified version MUST be included alongside the compiled/minified version.
Minified JavaScript is not useful for JavaScript run locally, as the entire point of minification is to reduce HTTP transfer times. Therefore, JavaScript not intended for the web (e.g. for Node.js or GNOME Shell extensions) MUST NOT be minified.
Bundling of other Libraries
It is common for a single minified JavaScript file to contain bundled code from other JavaScript libraries. JavaScript is treated no differently than other libraries in this respect, so the Bundling Guidelines. MUST still be followed.
Wrappers for Other Languages or Environments
Node.js Modules that contain browser/pure-JS components

Pioneer's Groundbreaking Power Meter System Helps Cyclists Produce More Power
Pioneer's Expertise in GPS Navigation, Data Measurement and Error Correction Technologies Applied to Development of New Crank-based Power Meter
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., a preeminent manufacturer of high-performance audio, video, computer and professional DJ equipment for the home, car and business markets, today unveiled all-new dual-leg power meter crank sets and SGX-CA500 Cycle-Computer designed for serious enthusiasts determined to elevate their cycling performance to the next level. The robust power meter is the first system to achieve on-bike, real-time, left and right pedaling power measurements and analysis that enable users to develop a better and more efficient pedaling technique for increased power output and improved riding performance.
Within each left and right pedal stroke, the system independently precisely measures torque, force location, and force angle at 12 different points of the rotation. The exclusive Force Vector display featured in the SGX-CA500 Cycle-Computer graphically communicates each leg's power output, pedaling efficiency, power loss, torque and force angle. The highly detailed and comprehensive performance analysis gives riders more knowledge of their riding techniques and can be used for routine ride sessions, training and coaching purposes.
For further analysis of the rider's performance parameters, Pioneer's free online service, Cyclo-Sphere, presents more than 200 data points that are illustrated in detail utilizing a variety of graphs, charts and maps.
"Passionate riders know that 'power is king' and in order to reach the next level in performance, power and efficiency must be increased," said David Bales, manager of new business for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Our engineers, who are avid riders themselves, set out to take power measurement well beyond today's norm. Output analysis of both legs and understanding where and how power is applied will help riders elevate their game."
Pioneer Dual-Leg Power Meter Crank Sets
As a leading manufacturer of advanced consumer electronic products, Pioneer developed proprietary technology incorporated into the power meter that accurately analyzes the pedaling stroke using six independent sensors (three located on each side of the crank). At every 30 degrees of each rotation, the robust design captures a variety of torque data that is continuously transmitted via a special Ant+™ stream.
The Pioneer power meter will be offered as complete crank sets with both Shimano® Dura-Ace® 9000 and Ultegra® 6800 cranks available in more than 38 different configurations varying in assorted crank arm lengths and chain ring set-ups. Adding only 66 grams of weight to the original Shimano cranks, the Pioneer system will be one of the lightest crank-based meters and the only dual-leg power meter on the market.
Additional Features
- Wireless transmitter
- Operating time: up to 120 hours (two CR2032 batteries included)
- User replaceable batteries
- IPX6 & IPX7 water resistance certified
- Resistant to oil and environmental conditions
- Patch / Arm type magnet included (installation required)
- Ant+ compatible (total power, independent left and right power)
- Weight: 66g (including L & R sensors)
- Accuracy: +/- 2%
Pioneer SGX-CA500 Cycle-Computer
Designed to be extremely light and compact, the new SGX-CA500 Cycle-Computer is the ideal interface used with the Pioneer Power Meter crank sets. The lightweight display utilizes a 1.87-inch black and white LCD touch screen to provide a window of data including Pioneer's exclusive left and right force vector information. The robust computer can access and display left and right power output, pedaling stroke efficiency, power loss, force vector analysis, torque, cadence, heart rate, GPS positioning, speed, distance, elevation gain/loss, barometric pressure, ambient temperature, and more.
The display interface is highly customizable and features six programmable screens, six bike profiles, and 4-gigabytes of memory for ride event storage. Up to nine data points can be seen on the same window for instantaneous and continuous performance feedback. Tested to withstand the harshest riding environments, the SGX-CA500 is IPX 6 and 7 certified for moist and wet conditions.

Version 5, 12-Dec-88, Masinter, clarify MINIMAL allows MEDIUM
Version 6, 8-Jan-89, Masinter, fix some bugs
Version 7, 4-Apr-89, Moon, amend per X3J13 Mar-89, and make
rationale and examples consistent with that
Problem description:
CLtL does not specify precisely when the dynamic extent (lifetime)
of a nonlocal exit such as a CATCH, BLOCK, or TAGBODY ends.
For example, at what point is it no longer possible to RETURN-FROM
a particular BLOCK?
An "exit" refers to a point from which control can be transferred.
For a THROW or RETURN-FROM, the "exit" is the corresponding CATCH
or BLOCK body. For a GO, the "exit" is the form within the TAGBODY
which was being executed at the time the GO is performed.
The extent of an exit is dynamic; it is not indefinite. The extent
of an exit begins when the corresponding form (CATCH, BLOCK or TAGBODY
clause) is entered. When the extent of an exit has ended, it is no
longer legal to return from it.
The extent of an exit is not the same thing as the scope of the
designator by which the exit is identified. For example, a BLOCK
name has lexical scope but the extent of its exit is dynamic; the
scope of a CATCH tag could differ from the extent of the CATCH's
return point. (That's part of what is at issue here.)
The ambiguity at issue arises for the case where there are transfers
of control from the cleanup clauses of an UNWIND-PROTECT.
When a transfer of control is initiated by GO, RETURN-FROM or THROW,
a variety of events occur before the transfer of control is complete.
In particular,
(a) the cleanup clauses of any intervening UNWIND-PROTECT clauses
are evaluated,
(b) intervening dynamic bindings of special variables and catch tags
are undone,
(c) intervening exits are "abandoned", i.e., their extent ends and it
is no longer legal to attempt to transfer control through them,
(d) the extent of the exit being invoked ends,
(e) control is finally passed to the target.
The order of these events is not explicit in CLtL, however. The
implementation note on p.142 gives a clue about the interweaving
of (a) and (b), but there are differing opinions about the times
at which (c) and (d) may occur. In particular,
Is it legal for an implementation to end the extent of all
intervening exits before processing the cleanup clauses of intervening
What is the dynamic context at the time UNWIND-PROTECT clauses are
evaluated: how is the unwinding of dynamic bindings intertwined with
evaluation of UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clauses?
Proposal (EXIT-EXTENT:MINIMAL):
The extent of an exit being "abandoned" because it is being passed over
ends as soon as the transfer of control is initiated. That is, the
event (c) occurs at the beginning of the initiation of the transfer of
control. In the language of the implementation note on p.142, the
extent ends at the beginning of the second pass. It is an error to
attempt a transfer of control to an exit whose dynamic extent has
The event (d) occurs at the end of the transfer of control.
Otherwise, events (a) and (b)--the undoing of dynamic binding of special
variables and CATCH tags, and the execution of UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup
clauses--are performed in the order corresponding to the reverse order
in which they were established, as implied by the implementation note
on p.142. The effect of this is that the cleanup clauses of an UNWIND-PROTECT
will see the same dynamic bindings of variables and CATCH tags as were
visible when the UNWIND-PROTECT was entered.
This proposal is called "minimal" because it gives exits the smallest
extent consistent with CLtL, except that event (d) occurs later than
CLtL requires. A program that presumed a longer extent would be in
error. Implementations may support longer extents for exits than is
required by this proposal; in particular, an implementation which
allowed the larger extent of the MEDIUM proposal below would still
Proposal (EXIT-EXTENT:MEDIUM):
The events of (a), (b), (c) and (d) are interwoven in the reverse
order in which they were established. In particular, the extent of
a passed-over exit ends when control reaches a frame that was
established before the exit was established.
In particular, it is legal, during the evaluation of an UNWIND-PROTECT
cleanup form executed because of a non-local transfer of control, to
initiate a new transfer of control to an exit intervening between the
UNWIND-PROTECT and the original target; the original processing of
transfer of control is abandoned.

;; returns 2 under MEDIUM and MINIMAL, was error under MINIMAL version 6
(unwind-protect (throw nil 1)
;; returns 2 under MEDIUM, is error under MINIMAL
;; because the catch of B is passed over by
;; the first THROW, hence portable programs must assume its dynamic extent
;; is terminated. The binding of the catch tag is not yet disestablished
;; and therefore it is the target of the second throw.
(catch 'a
(catch 'b
(unwind-protect (throw 'a 1)
(throw 'b 2))))
;; the following was an error under MINIMAL version 6; the extent of
;; the inner catch terminates as soon as the THROW commences, even
;; though it remains in scope. Thus, the THROW of :SECOND-THROW
;; sees the inner CATCH, but its extent has ended.
;; under MEDIUM and MINIMAL version 7,
;; it prints "The inner catch returns :SECOND-THROW"
;; and then returns :OUTER-CATCH.
(catch 'foo
(format t "The inner catch returns ~s.~%"
(catch 'foo
(unwind-protect (throw 'foo :first-throw)
(throw 'foo :second-throw))))
;; Following returns 10 under either proposal. The inner
;; CATCH of A is passed over, but because that CATCH
;; is disestablished before the THROW to A is executed,
;; it isn't seen.
(catch 'a
(catch 'b
(unwind-protect (1+ (catch 'a (throw 'b 1)))
(throw 'a 10))))
;; Following is an error under MINIMAL because the extent of
;; the (CATCH 'BAR ...) exit ends when the (THROW 'FOO ...)
;; commences.
;; Under MEDIUM, the pending exit to tag FOO is discarded by the
;; second THROW to BAR and the value 4 is transferred to
;; (CATCH 'BAR ...), which returns 4. The (CATCH 'FOO ...)
;; then returns the 4 because its first argument has returned
;; normally. XXX is not printed.
;; Following returns 4 under either proposal; XXX is not printed.
;; The (THROW 'FOO ...) has no effect on the scope of the BAR
;; catch tag or the extent of the (CATCH 'BAR ...) exit.
;;The following are legal and print 5 under either proposal:
(let ((x 5))
(print x))))
(let ((x 5))
(print x))))
For MINIMAL: Giving exits the smallest extent consistent with CLtL
maximizes freedom for implementations; there are few applications,
if any, that require a longer extent. Delaying event (d) until
the transfer of control is completed allows multiple attempts to
exit from a single exit, if the first attempt is interrupted,
possibly by an error.
For MEDIUM: Giving exits a longer extent has cleaner semantics.
Current practice:
Both implementations of Symbolics Genera (3600 and Ivory) end the extent
of a target BLOCK or CATCH at the moment the values are returned, and
end the extent of a passed-over exit at the moment the THROW, RETURN, or
GO commences. This choice of extent maximizes efficiency within the
particular stack structure used by these implementations, by avoiding
the need to retain the control information needed to use a passed over
exit through the transfer of control. Genera signals an error if an
attempt is made to use an exit that has been passed over.
In some implementations, it is possible for a throw or non-local exit
to be effectively "stopped" by an UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clause that
performs a non-local transfer of control to a passed-over exit.
Some implementations crash or otherwise generate garbage code for
non-local exits from cleanup clauses of UNWIND-PROTECT.
Cost to Implementors:
No currently valid implementation will be made invalid by the MINIMAL
proposal. Some implementors may wish to add error checks if they
do not already have them.
MEDIUM would have a high cost for those implementations that currently
have shorter extent.
Cost to Users:
Most user programs don't do this, so there is likely little cost
of converting existing code in any case. In any case, current implementations
differ enough that this issue ostensibly does not
affect current portable programs. Some users might have code that
relies on the "unstoppable loops" that can be created with the MEDIUM
Either proposal would make Common Lisp more precisely defined.
Cost of non-adoption :
The semantics of exits will remain ambiguous.
Precisely specifying the meaning of dynamic extent improves the language.
Leaving implementations free to implement a longer extent if they choose
can be regarded as unesthetic, but consistent with Common Lisp philosophy.
Having a CATCH that is in scope even though its extent has ended may
seem unesthetic, but it is consistent with how BLOCK behaves.
This issue is controversial. It was first discussed under the issue
named UNWIND-PROTECT-CLEANUP-NON-LOCAL-EXIT. The issue was recast as
the more global one of "extent of exits" rather than the specific
one of "what happens if a cleanup in an UNWIND-PROTECT does a non-
local exit", but the problem cases for both topics are the same.
The goal of the MINIMAL proposal is to clarify the ambiguity in CLtL while
minimizing changes to the current situation. The MEDIUM proposal
defines the extent of an exit to end at the last moment possible
within some particular reference implementation. It has
a cost to implementors whose implementation is not identical to the
reference implementation. Another alternative proposal, not considered
here, would duck the issue by outlawing all non-local exits from UNWIND-PROTECT
cleanup forms. That alternative would have a substantial cost to some users.
Scheme is cleaner: it avoids this issue by specifying that the extent
of an exit never ends.
An argument for the MEDIUM proposal was made based on the example:
(block foo
(block bar
(return-from foo 'foo)
(return-from bar 'bar))))
Since there is no reason for FOO and BAR not to be treated interchangeably,
calling this an error would be inappropriate.
It was argued that the MINIMAL proposal is equivalent to practically
outlawing non-local exits from UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clauses, because
there is no general way to determine the target of the non-local exit
that caused the cleanup clause to be invoked.
The following example was offered as an argument against MINIMAL. Given:
(error "foo")) ;probably an error, under the proposal
(error ()
(print "foo"))))
If the ERROR handler has the same scope and extent a CATCH in the same place
would have (and that seems reasonable, though I'm not certain that the
condition system specifically requires that interpretation), then the handler
will be apparent to the call to ERROR, but will no longer be a valid target
(its extent was exited by the RETURN in the UNWIND-PROTECT body).
The extent of an object with dynamic extent is the extent of the form
which created it. Code which is executed "within" that form is within
the extent of the object(s). This applies to all dynamic objects, such
as special variable bindings, not just exits. Actually, I think the intent
of the implementation note on p.142 is fairly clear and supports this
interpretation. The supposedly ambiguous use of "frame" should be read
as something like "form which establishes a dynamic extent". It might be
clearer if the last sentence were changed to read something like:
"On the second pass the stack is actually unwound. Each form which establishes
a dynamic extent is undone in reverse order of creation until the matching
CATCH is reached. The meaning of undoing a form depends on the type of form.
For UNWIND-PROTECT, it means executing the cleanup forms. For CATCH it means
removing the CATCH tag. For dynamic bindings it means undoing the binding,
restoring the previous saved value. {This is not an exhaustive listing of the

The Devil Wants You To Settle in Your Relationship
Besides choosing to give Christ my entire heart and life at 18 (after falling in love with Him in the Eucharist), the best decision I ever made was to wait 28 years for the man of my dreams. There were so many times I could've settled for a nice Catholic guy who treated me well and bored me to tears. I knew I never wanted to tell my children, "Well, your dad loved me and seemed nice enough, so I married him." Ugh. Gag me with a spork. Heck no. I knew I wanted to tell my children, "I waited patiently for a man I was passionately in love with, who led me to holiness, who was my best friend, and who I couldn't wait to be married to!" Sure enough, when Bobby Angel came along, I knew I found that man.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of confused and conflicted young adults out there who seem tempted to settle for a spouse. There are a lot of people who date because it's nice to have a warm body gazing back at you. Listen carefully to me: there are tons of holy, attractive, fun people out there. (I know, because I'm trying to play matchmaker and set them all up with each other). Seriously, though, you are only called to marry one of them. You are not called to be a polygamist (thank God!). Just because you date an attractive, holy Catholic doesn't mean he/she is the "one." In the past, every time I met a single Catholic guy, my head would always say, "Is this the one? Is this the one?" I was like a hamster on crack (like most single Catholic young adults who see every other single Catholic young adult as a target for romance). I kept rationalizing my good Catholic guy dates, saying, "Well, he doesn't make me laugh, but I could deal with that," or "I'm not really attracted to him, but I don't want to be vain so I could deal with that" or "We really don't have great conversations, but I could be a like a cloistered wife vowed to silence for the rest of my life, right?"
When I met Bobby, though, everything clicked. I didn't have to rationalize anything. In fact, both of us are still in shock that two human beings could fit so perfectly (even in our faults) with each other. I'm sure God watches us stumble through relationships, laughing and thinking, "Oh you of little faith. Why do you not trust me?" Sure enough, when we settle, it's because we don't trust God enough. We don't trust that God is a bigger romantic than we are, that God is the most passionate being there is (in fact, who endured the passion out of love for us), and who wants the absolute best for our lives. When we don't trust God, we commit the original sin of Adam and Eve all over again: we grasp at the gift of "knowledge" rather than wait for God to give us the gift He's had for us all along (see CCC 396-397). In Fill These Hearts, Christopher West writes, "That's pride at its root: we don't trust in God's designs, so we choose to follow our own" (p. 112). Remember: God is the one who has amazing plans for us, "plans for our welfare not for woe, plans for a future full of hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). It's the stupid devil who wants us to grasp at relationships and who tempts us to settle for what's just "okay."
To me, some of the most courageous men and women are those who break off their relationships out of love for the other. They realize that the other person deserves someone better than them, that they are wasting the other's time from finding their true vocation (whether be it to another person in marriage or maybe even a vocation to celibacy as a priest, nun, sister, brother, consecrated, or single person), or that they would be settling for a life of eye-rolling and frustration. This is extremely difficult. Bobby and I can speak from experience—he broke off an engagement and I broke up with a man who was a month from proposing. In the end, we were both extremely glad that the Holy Spirit convicted us and helped us have courage (a word that literally means, "to act from the heart") to do what was best for all.
When I was single, I told myself, "I would rather be joyful and single than miserable with someone." Why? Because I know that God wants us to be radiant witnesses of his love to the world. When I was single, I was totally free to do this because I had peace and joy founded in Christ who completely satisfied me. When I was in previous relationships, however, I was filled with anxiety, wondering if the guy didn't get my sense of humor, didn't like my craziness, didn't like my love for Daily Mass, the Rosary or Adoration. I changed myself for the guys and didn't like who I was with them. I knew that the man I was called to marry would not make me feel imprisoned or trapped, but would give me freedom to be my authentic self, freedom to be a radiant witness for the Lord together, and freedom to love God, my neighbor, and myself more authentically.
Freedom is huge in a relationship. No, not the philosophy of freedom given by Wiz Kalifa and Snoop Dogg; their "freedom" allows them to get drunk, smoke weed, and be a player for them hoes. No. Authentic freedom enables us to do what is right. Freedom in a relationship has the signs of peace and joy. A lack of freedom in a relationship gives you that anxiety in your belly, that "icky" feeling, that unrest.
So, my question to you (if you are in a relationship with someone to whom you are not married) is this: Does your relationship help you to be freer or less free? Is your relationship life-giving or life-sucking?
Here are some questions that you should ask yourself.
Some questions are bigger "no-brainers" than others. We'll start with the "no-brainer" red flags at the top and go to more subtle signs you aren't free in a relationship to be the man or woman of God you were created to be.
If you say "yes" to any of these questions, you should get out of that relationship:
Does your significant other abuse you physically, emotionally, verbally, or sexually?
Do they pressure you to sin or make fun of you for not sinning? (Calling you a "prude" because you won't do sexual things with them, making you feel guilty for not getting drinking/getting drunk, pressuring you to see a smutty movie or watch pornography, or pressuring you to live with them, etc.)
Do you feel like you are being used as an object for their pleasure?
Are you afraid of bringing up tough issues, annoyances, or frustrations, for fear they might get defensive, lash out at you, or shut down?
Do you feel like you're walking on eggshells with what you say or do for fear they might break up with you (again)?
Are you afraid to show your weaknesses, because they expect you to be perfect?
Do you have that constant pit of anxiety in your belly either when you are with them or apart from them? Do you feel that anxiety when you think of marrying them?
Are you staying with them out of lust, out of fear of being alone, out of security, or out of fear of never finding anyone else who will be with you?
Are you confused about the relationship constantly? Do you go back and forth about whether or not this is "the one?"
Do you feel relieved when they are gone?
If you say "no" to any of these questions, you should re-think your relationship:
Are you free to be your true self (who you are with your best girl friends or guy friends)?
Do you feel loved in who you are, even in your weaknesses?
Do you feel challenged to be a better, holier person?
Are you free to be child-like, to laugh, to have joy with your significant other?
Do you feel challenged spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and physically?
Is your relationship healing? Is their love helping you to deal with issues of the past without them being a "savior" to you (rather, they point you to "the Savior" for healing)?
Are you willing to spend 24 hours 7 days a week with them for the rest of your life?
Are they your best friend with whom you have romance?
Bobby and I will be praying for all those who read this blog, that you may truly do God's good, pleasing, and perfect will (Romans 12:1-2)

We remember today the words of our savior, Jesus Christ: "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Almighty and eternal God, from whose love we cannot be parted even by death, hear our prayers and thanksgivings for your servant Frank Dombrowski .
For although we no longer feel the touch of your faithful departed, fulfill in them, we pray, the purposes of your love and bring us, with them, to your eternal joy.
Eternal God, we commend to your protection and care all members of the Marine Corps. Guide and direct them in the defense of our country and in the maintenance of justice among the nations. Sustain them in the hour of danger. Grant that wherever they serve they may be always faithful to their high traditions, and that at all times they may put their trust in you.
All this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
