You want powerful women? Forbes has powerful women.
The magazine on Wednesday released its annual World's Most Powerful Women today, based on money, media momentum and social impact.
My wife didn't make the list. I don't see how.
The returning champ is German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has made the list 10 times, with nine of those coming at No. 1, including this year. First lady Michelle Obama finished No. 8, barely beating Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg, who came in at No. 9.
Other famous people included Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce and Angelina Jolie. Which is important, because only the famous people really matter.
Jolie, who stars this week in "Maleficent" and also serves as special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, finished No. 50, while Beyonce came in at No. 17.
Returning celebrities on the 10-year-old list include Winfrey (No. 14), Hillary Clinton (No. 6) and Melinda Gates (No. 3), among others. Then there's Ellen DeGeneres (No. 46), Shakira (No. 58) Lady Gaga (No. 67), and Sofia Vergara (No. 32). Rounding out the Top 5 were Janet Yellen, Chair of the Federal Reserve (No. 2); Dilma Rousseff, president of Brazil (No. 4); and Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (No. 5).

|Everybody likes having choices. This is true whether you are talking about lunch or deploying to a private cloud. When IBM Workload Deployer v3.0 was first introduced it included a pattern type for our Database-as-a-Service offering. The DBaaS PatternType v1 provided substantial value in an easy to use form factor to get a database up and running quickly and then provided the necessary tools to manage that environment. Pretty impressive for a first release! But the story doesn't end there. IBM Workload Deployer v3.1 brings an updated version of this pattern type that builds upon this foundation and adds even more capabilities and more choices.
Some of you may not be familiar with the Workload Deployer Database-as-a-Service offering so let me give you a brief introduction. Database-as-a-Service patterns allow you to define and deploy database applications into your private cloud environment with speed and consistency. These offerings also provide integrated management and monitoring capabilities. The Database-as-a-Service capability can be used in conjunction with a web application pattern (Patterns -> Virtual Applications, IBM Web Application Pattern) by including a database component in a pattern connected the web application components to use it. In this case the web application and database are deployed and managed as a unified solution with a common life-cycle as shown in the pattern below.
Database patterns can also be created and deployed as standalone entities (Patterns -> Database Patterns) that have their own life-cycle, independent of the virtual web application(s) that use the database. What's more, you can leverage these stand-alone databases from applications both inside and outside your private cloud.
|Whether you use a stand-alone database pattern or one that is part of a web application pattern, the attributes and capabilities of the database are consistent.
|So what is new in this release? For starters, the DBaaS PatternType has been renamed and the capabilities expanded. For Workload Deployer v3.1 the pattern is delivered as the IBM Database Patterns v1.1 and includes several elements to provide predefined configurations: the IBM Transaction Database Pattern and the IBM Data Mart Pattern.
|Before we take a closer look at the new features I just want to alert you to one thing. Before you can leverage any of these new features you first need to accept the licenses and configure the plugins for the database pattern types. So look at the link and follow the directions if you would like to along and you aren't seeing the same options in your IBM Workload Deployer V3.1 system.
|Using the screen shot above as a reference, let's take a look at what you can specify when creating a database pattern. You start with a name for the pattern and an optional pattern description. You also specify the maximum user data space size and an optional schema file. These are pretty basic and were all available with in the previous release. Another really nice feature that has also been available since the first release is the ability to specify a compatibility mode for DB2 and Oracle (a nice feature if you are looking to move content from existing databases).
|Some of the new enhancements appear in the middle of the view; the purpose and source. The purpose specifies if this database is to be used for production or non-production (test and development). Your selection will optimize license management for deployed instances of this pattern.
The source field lets you specify a database configuration to be used to provision this database. You can choose from two different provisioning approaches; applying a workload standard or cloning from a database image. When choosing apply a workload standard you select between two predefined, optimized database configurations. These configurations will run a set of scripts to tune the operating system and instance configuration for the database. The departmental transactional standard is optimized for online transaction processing applications while the data mart standard is optimized for data mining purposes and is therefore more suitable for reporting applications. If those aren't exactly what you want but you have an existing database you can use the clone from a database image approach by selecting an existing database image backup as a model for the new database pattern. When using the clone method metadata from the backup is retrieved and a DB2 restore command is used to set the same configuration for the new database instance. Reference the cloning from a database image topic in the IBM Database Patterns information center for more details.
|Once the pattern has been created you can deploy the pattern to a target cloud group or an environment profile (another new feature for database deployments in IBM Workload Deployer V3.1).
|I hope you can see the value that has been added with the source configuration choices and the ability to clone an existing configuration. They are certainly substantial new features of the Database-as-a-Service solution in Workload Deployer V3.1. However, there are a number of other significant enhancements that I would just like to mention as well. In other posts we've discussed the new ability to deploy virtual applications to run on AIX with a PowerVM hypervisor. As you might expect this same ability is also available to deploy database patterns to run on AIX systems leveraging PowerVM. Management capabilities have also been significantly enhanced with the ability to configure automated database backups using the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. These features and many other aspect of the Database-as-a-Service model are detailed in the IBM Database Patterns information center and the IBM Workload Deployer information center. My goal here has not been to replicate our product documentation - it is rather my goal to provide a few highlights and provide pointers to help you get started. I hope it has been useful.
|You can be sure that we will continue enhancing and improving our Database-as-a-Service offering in IBM Workload Deployer. Please provide your feedback so that we can make it even better.

Do they make belated anniversary cards? I wanted to earn my first million once by convincing Hallmark to bring out my line of Belated Get Well cards (they considered this an extension of my humorous sympathy card line and shot me down) But if they make belated birthday…I was going to talk about something else, wasn't I?
This blog has been running for about six months now, and if no Internet Authroity has presented me with a gold watch, at least I haven't been run out of town for practicing literature without a license, either. Anyway, I thought I should take the opportunity to issue a few updates and addenda to my previous thoughts.
1. Banana boxes still strike people as excellent things to pack books in. The power of the Internet to change lives would seem to have been exaggerated. And I would just like to add a word to those of you who use egg crates as a substitute.
Egg crates, if you've never encountered them (I never saw one before coming to the Big City, myself) are extremely large boxes designed to carry large numbers of cartons filled with eggs. They're roughly, oh, a mile long and half a mile high and some people think they can pack lots of books in them. You CAN pack lots of books in them. Just don't expect me to pick one up for you after you've packed it. (If filled with small paperbacks only, they are relatively liftable, and very impressive, too, if you are inclined to show off by picking up big boxes of books. Wouldn't know about that, myself.)
2. One of the Mrs. Mallowmars came in with three boxes of books just after I had written about the late Mr. Mallowmar. None of his books seem to have been included, so maybe her collection of his books, at least, has been cleaned away.
3. In my list of books I'm rather apathetic about receiving, I did not mention books that have been mouse-chewed, but I think I will now, having run into four boxes where there were mistakeable signs that someone thought Les Brown's motivational book would make good nesting material. I know, I know: if the books have been sitting in the garage for ten years, you don't want to check right down to the bottom and see if the box is swollen with mold or has been sub-let. But I do not intend to argue ownership of a box of books with a mouse, and bringing me any collections where one user of the collection has taken up residence is just a waste of your time. (For the record, no one has ever brought me a box of books with a mouse in it, living or dead. I'm still getting over the box of books that hissed at me, though. That one had been in the attic for a while, and a bat had curled up in it for the winter. I quietly carried the box of books outside and left it there for 24 hours. The bat was gone in the morning. I always assumed he flew away to warmer quarters, but someone has since suggested that a miscreant could have come along and STOLEN my bat. It is indeed a wicked, wicked world.)
4. Thank you for asking but no, rather to my surprise, I have not run out of stories about books yet. I don't think I've even found all the old Book Fair songs yet. And as I recall, somewhere in the eighties there was a story about Bookman and Pamphlet, who rode around Chicagio in the Bookmobile rescuing unloved books. When you see that one here, you'll know I've reached the bottom of the barrel and have started scraping through.

Red Sox (ss) - 000 101 000 - 2 8 1A Wednesday split.
Twins - 030 000 02x - 5 11 0
Wakefield struggled against the bottom of the Twins order, giving up four singles to the first five guys to bat in the second. Toss in an outfield throwing error from Brad Wilkerson and Minnesota led 3-0.
Gumball Bailey's single scored Yook in the fourth and Jed Lowrie's RBI triple brought Wilkerson home to close the gap to 3-2. But Billy Traber crapped the cot in the eighth, allowing four singles and two runs before recording an out.
Justin Masterson and Manny Delcarmen looked good out of the pen in relief of Wake. Ramon Ramirez pitched a strong seventh inning, striking out two of his three batters.
We have the Red Sox playing baseball again -- so all is well.
BC Eagles - 000 100 0 - 1 5 0Water! Nick Green and Yamaico Navarro both went 2-for-2 (Navarro hit a dong). Chris Carter hit a three-run double. BP pitcher Ino Guerrero, 48, drew a walk in the fifth!
Red Sox (ss) - 000 061 x - 7 8 0
Josh Beckett threw two perfect innings (22 pitches, 15 strikes) with two strikeouts (one of them being CHB's son). Clay Buchholz retired the side in order on six pitches in his one inning of work.
Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed five hits and two runs over 1.2 innings for Japan in an exhibition game against Australia on Tuesday. He threw 38 pitches. The game was a tune-up before the WBC.
There are baseball games today!
The Red Sox play their traditional spring opener against Boston College this afternoon, then they play the Twins tonight.
Scheduled pitchers:
BC: Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Kris Johnson, Junichi Tazawa, Felix Doubront, Daniel Bard
Twins: Tim Wakefield, Justin Masterson, Manny Delcarmen, Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez, Billy Traber, Dustin Richardson
The night game will be on MLB.tv (in addition to NESN and MLBN), so I'll be tuning in!

DURHAM, N.C. – Three Blue Devil players registered double-doubles as the 18th-ranked Duke volleyball team rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Syracuse 3-1 (16-25, 25-10, 25-17, 25-20) in ACC action Friday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Riding a four-match win streak, Syracuse came out strong in the opening frame, but the Blue Devils responded to capture the final three sets.
Sophomores Elizabeth Campbell and Emily Sklar both picked up their third double-doubles of the season as Campbell totaled 15 kills and 10 digs while Sklar added a match-high 17 kills and 12 digs. With her performance tonight, Sklar extended her streak to 14 consecutive matches with 10 or more kills.
With 50 assists and 11 digs, junior setter Maggie Deichmeister recorded her team-leading sixth double-double, orchestrating a Duke attack which totaled 60 kills. The Whitehall, Pa., averaged 12.5 assists per game to reach the 50-assist plateau for the fifth time during the 2013 campaign.
"I think this game we started a little slow," said Sklar. "We weren't really warm yet. We did a great job in the later games. Our offense is run by a great setter, Maggie [Deichmeister], and I think she did a great job this game setting up our hitters for success."
After committing 10 attack errors in the opening frame, the Blue Devils limited the offensive miscues to just two each in the second and third sets, taking the middle games in commanding fashion. Errors again plagued Duke in the fourth set, but the Blue Devils closed out the match on a 6-1 run to seal the victory.
"We're really relieved and thankful we were able to get this one tonight," said head coach Jolene Nagel. "We didn't execute as well as we wanted to some of the time, but I was proud of the way our team hung in there. Syracuse played great defense and kept a lot of balls alive, and I was pleased with the way we hung in there to get through and get this win at home."
Syracuse stormed out to a 7-2 lead to start the match and never trailed in the first game of the night. The Orange posted a .393 hitting percentage, knocking down 12 kills while committing just one attack error to stun the Blue Devils, 25-16, in game one.
"That was not pretty," Nagel said. "I think that we were a little tight and we weren't really controlling the ball well. We needed to relax a little bit so we could get a rhythm going to control the ball better to get our offense going. We also needed to pick up our communication. I thought that got better as the set went on."
Duke turned the momentum around in game two with a resounding 25-10 win. Led by four kills from middle blocker Chelsea Cook, Duke hit a blistering .519 to tie the match at 1-1. The Blue Devils led 17-3 before a 4-0 Syracuse spurt brought the Orange within 10. A Jeme Obeime kill, one of 10 for the outside hitter from Carmel, Ind., put an end to the Orange run and Duke won seven of the final 10 points to finish off the set.
Duke's offense continued to roll in the third set, totaling 18 kills behind 13 assists from Deichmeister. Syracuse made it an 18-16 game following a Silvi Uattara kill, but the Blue Devils answered with a 7-1 run to close out the frame. Sklar added seven kills without an attack error to lead the way.
Syracuse fought off a five-point disadvantage in the fourth set to tie the game at 19-19 late. Duke's 10th attack error of the stanza gave the Orange a brief 20-19 lead before a Campbell kill knotted the score at 20-all. Back-to-back Cook kills put Duke in control and Sklar knocked down her 17th kill of the evening to clinch the victory.
"We knew Syracuse was going to show up to play," said senior libero Ali McCurdy. "They had a big four-match win streak coming into this. We knew they were going to come in here and play hard. That's what they did. We knew we were going to have to adjust things because we had never played them before, so that was sort of a new look. I think we could've played better. Consistency wise, it was a little up and down, but it's good to get a win."
The Duke defense, led by McCurdy, buckled down after the first set and limited Syracuse to a .094 hitting percentage over the final three games. McCurdy amassed 22 digs to lead all players, reaching double-digit digs for the 40 straight match. With 2,290 career digs, the Tampa, Fla., native is 14 digs shy of breaking the ACC record.
Outside hitter Uattara paced the Orange with 12 kills and seven digs. Fellow hitter Nicolette Serratore added 11 kills while libero Melina Violas picked up 15 digs.
Next up, Duke hosts Boston College (9-15, 0-11 ACC) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Leslie's Beck's 12th book,"The Plant-Based Power Diet," includes 40 recipes she developed and designed to be fast and easy to make.
"We are busy and anything we can do to save time is important," the Toronto-based registered dietitian said in an interview.
"And the more organized you are, the less time you spend in the kitchen, the quicker everything is and the more success you'll have."
Here are two recipes from the book, which she says are delicious.
Moroccan Chickpea Stew
Leslie Beck says this tasty stew shows up regularly on her fall and winter menus. All the ingredients can be combined in a big skillet and simmered for 30 minutes.
"I love its blend of savoury and sweet ingredients. It reminds me of the wonderful meals I enjoyed in Morocco," she writes.
15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
250 ml (1 cup) chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
500 ml (2 cups) cubed sweet potatoes
250 ml (1 cup) sliced carrots
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped celery
1 can (540 ml/19 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
1 can (796 ml/28 oz) diced tomatoes
50 ml (1/4 cup) dried apricots, coarsely chopped
50 ml (1/4 cup) raisins
5 ml (1 tsp) cinnamon
2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground ginger, turmeric and nutmeg
1 bay leaf
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. When pan is hot, add onion and saute for 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute.
Add sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, chickpeas, tomatoes, apricots, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Makes 6 servings.

Three-Bean Garden Chili
This hearty meal is packed with fibre-rich legumes, providing 16 grams of fibre per serving. Cocoa and cinnamon give the chili a unique, subtle flavour that will leave your guests guessing at the secret ingredients that make it taste so good, Beck writes. This easy chili freezes well.
15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
500 ml (2 cups) chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) diced red bell pepper
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) diced green bell pepper

1 can (540 ml/19 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed well
1 can (540 ml/19 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
250 ml (1 cup) chopped carrot
125 ml (1/2 cup) corn kernels, fresh or frozen
30 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tbsp) chili powder
30 ml (2 tbsp) unsweetened cocoa
2 ml (1/2 tsp) cinnamon
1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper, or to taste
30 ml (2 tbsp) tomato paste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

But the officials are citing a more important factor. Owners are looking around the sport in places like Seattle, San Francisco, Washington and Indianapolis, seeing the success of young throwers and young programs, and asking why in the Hell aren't they having similar success?
The name Russell Wilson was pointed to on Monday as a grand example of why so many people got fired so quickly. Owners in places like Cleveland and Jacksonville might have been asking why didn't their franchises discover Wilson, who was the 12th pick in the third round? And how is it that a franchise like Seattle can develop him so quickly and our franchise cannot?
Andrew Luck is one thing; he was the first overall pick. But when franchises start finding franchise throwers in the third round and the failing teams do not, then someone is getting fired.
Poor Jacksonville. Drafting a punter in front of Russell Wilson? Gene Smith didn't survive long after that move.

The Dorflinger Glass Museum and Gift Shop at the Dorflinger Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary will be open Saturday, Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. with no admission fee.
— The Dorflinger Glass Museum and Gift Shop at the Dorflinger Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary will be open Saturday, Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. with no admission fee.
This will be the last chance to see the 2012 special exhibit, "Dorflinger's Variety of Vases: From Plain to Richly Cut," a display of over 30 cut glass vases all made by the C. Dorflinger & Sons glass factory in White Mills. This exhibit features vases from the collections of Karen and Harry Parker and Barbara and William Meek.
Visitors can also take advantage of the annual end of season sale in the gift shop. Everything in the shop is 20 percent off (excluding books and previously discounted items). Proceeds from gift shop sales support the operation of the museum.
The restored 1867 Glassworker's House, operated by the museum, also offers free admission over the weekend. It will be open from noon to 3 p.m. each day.
The holiday theme at the worker's house will be "The Day Before Christmas: Making German Hand-Pressed Cookie Decoration."
During the late 19th century, families would make their own holiday tree decorations by pressing cookie dough into German hand-carved wooden molds to create ornaments in a variety of shapes and patterns.
Visitors to the Glass Workers House will see the process for making these unique, handcrafted ornaments and decorations using a collection of antique German wooden molds.
The house is located about one-half mile away from the museum, on Charles Street, in the village of White Mills.
The village of White Mills lies halfway between Hawley and Honesdale on Route 6. At the blinking light adjacent to the White Mills Hotel in White Mills, turn and go up the steep hill (Elizabeth Street) for 6/10 of a mile to the stop sign at a second blinking light.
Continue on for 1/10 of a mile to the entrance of the Sanctuary on your right. For additional information please call (570) 253-1185 or on the internet at www.dorflinger.org.

Evelyn Lozada Wants Restraining Order Against Chad Johnson Terminated
Does this mean that Evelyn and Chad will get back together?
Maybe or maybe not.
What it does mean for the most part is their domestic dispute is behind them. Chad Johnson has almost finished up all his domestic violence classes and will ask the court to lift his non contact order so he will be permitted to speak with Evelyn again.
Evelyn isn't going to fight that motion according to TMZ.
I wouldn't be shocked if at some point you seen them back together in public. It won't be soon, but appears to be inevitable.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2013
Observed each year on February 7, National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) is a day to promote HIV testing and raise awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS in the Black community-one of the communities hardest hit by the disease. This year's NBHAAD theme, "I am my brother/sister's keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS," reminds us that to effectuate change in any movement, we must work together for the collective good and sometimes this work requires us to put up a good fight.
The spirit of this theme is reflected in the 2013 Academy Award nominated documentary film, "How to Survive a Plague" about the history of AIDS activism in the 1980s and '90s. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, the film shows how two groups, ACT UP and Total Action Group (TAG), helped shape the country's response to the AIDS crisis.
During a time of little hope, this diverse group of men and women put all they had on the line to make sure that the nation listened and responded to their need for a national treatment strategy for the disease. Armed with their voices and fueled by their anger and passions, they stormed government buildings, pharmaceutical companies, political events, and churches chanting the message "Act up, Fight Back, Fight AIDS." They fought hard and people listened. Sadly, many of these heroes died without getting to see the fruits of their labor-advances in the treatment of the disease that allows people living with HIV/AIDS to live longer lives.
Despite the gains made as a result of such bold, in-your-face activism, the struggle continues and certain communities are more adversely affected than others. More than any other racial/ethnic minority group, the Black community, and Black gay men in particular, continue to be disproportionately affected by this disease. In young, Black gay men, the numbers are especially staggering with approximately 1 in 4 new HIV infections occurring among this group according to the CDC.
Several factors drive this disparity and it is time for us to not just talk about it but to also take action. While some are seeing the possibilities of an AIDS free generation, we cannot get there until we address these things. The stigma of HIV coupled with homophobia, is one of those factors that continues to contribute to the slow response to addressing the HIV in the Black community. Until we can have real conversations about the issues that divide us, we will continue to lose this battle. Furthermore, the absence of one clear, unifying leader in this movement continues to hinder any effective strategy to combat the problem.
It is time for us to stop looking for that one person to organize us. The late anthropologist Margaret Meade is credited with saying, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
Whether it starts with a small group or a large group, it is important that we continue the work started by groups like ACT UP and TAG so that the stories and lessons are not forgotten. Those of us who have the privilege of learning about these stories also have a responsibility to carry on the legacy, because as the saying goes, "those who do not learn from their history are doomed to repeat it."
This year, for NBHAAD, think about what you can do to Act Up. Fight Back. Fight AIDS.

Let's talk book safes.
A book safe is a box shaped like a book, which you can hide things inside and then tuck away on a shelf with your other books. They come in two basic varieties: boxes made to look like books and books which have had their innards carved out to make a boxlike space. (Check out the display of these at the A.C. McClurg Bookstore on the first floor of the Newberry.) Depending on the skill of construction, either will do the job for you, with only two basic drawbacks.
The first is that burglars know about book safes. So a good housebreaker will generally have a look across your shelves for something that looks obviously wrong. Your cure for this is to get a book safe that doesn't look obviously wrong. This means don't buy a book safe carved out of a Danielle Steel novel if everything else on your shelves is military fiction a la Tom Clancy. Similarly, that Reader's Digest Condensed Book smack in the middle of your collection of eighteenth century plays is going to stand right out.
The second problem, of course, is that if the book safe blends into your collection, either you will forget it's there, or you will die and somebody else will package up all your books and send them to me, never knowing about the gold doubloons and triploons you had hidden inside that copy of Think and Grow Rich.
Over the years, the Newberry Library Book Fair has had about two dozen book safes donated. More than half of these were empty. One contained road maps; the owner had used it as an extension of her glove compartment. Another contained extra car and house keys, for emergencies. The others had been used as jewelry boxes, sometimes sentimental old stuff (ID pins from the 40s, class rings, etc., that hadn't so much been put there to hide them as to get them out of the way), sometimes tangled costume jewelry. And once, it was the real thing: pearls, gold, an emerald, the good stuff.
So I'm going to make a few minor suggestions. Obviously, it does no good to post a message to yourself–"The doubloons are in that copy of Clout on the third shelf in the living room"–because some burglars can read. Putting a little sticker on the spine saying "Here be diamonds" also defeats the purpose. But you can mention it in your will, in case you slip away before the books do. You can also tuck a note into the book safe itself, either a long story about how each piece of jewelry matters to you (this gives me something to read on rainy afternoons at the Book fair) or just your Name and Address. Even if you have shuffled off this mortal coil, it gives us a good step up in finding your next-of-kin. Yeah, I know your next-of-kin should have the brains to think "Why is this book rattling?" but they don't always. These two steps alone will save us both a lot of trouble. You don't REALLY want me selling all those letters you got from Marilyn Monroe, do you?
By the way, the book safe with the genuine jewelry in it did get to the rightful owner, but I can take no credit for this. We were trying to trace a name engraved on one tiny piece of jewelry and having no luck when the owner walked in and said, "Did I turn in a book with jewelry inside? I've always told my kids to check inside books before they give any away, and I think I…."
A happy ending all around: she got her baubles back and I was not torn apart by the four people who each wanted to buy the pearls.

The Rotten Tomatoes movie review site gave it only a 20 percent rating, classifying it as "rotten." Critics weren't kind in their assessment of it and made comments such as, "It's confusing and excessive and it just missed the mark completely"; "a painful blend of overproduced action"; and "(a) violent, crude, pointless sequel."
While this may sound like the recipe for a flop, the film went on to make an impressive $402 million at the box office, earning even more than its higher-rated predecessor. That movie is "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," part of a franchise that continues to be one of Hollywood's biggest moneymakers, despite frequent criticism from reviewers.
Although the "Transformers" movies aren't my personal favorites, I have nothing against those who enjoy them, and the special effects are genuinely impressive. I just find it interesting how much money the franchise has made over time, even though it has received quite a bit of flak for neglecting character development. In 2009, the year "Revenge of the Fallen" was released, it even beat out fellow sci-fi title "Star Trek" at the box office, even though the Trek film boasted a much higher rating from Rotten Tomatoes (95 percent).
Negative reviews don't always sink a movie at the box office, and positive reviews don't always guarantee there will be smooth sailing (for example, last year's "Killing Them Softly" had a 76 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating but flopped with only $15 million at the box office). I think studios' marketing activities (ad campaigns, trailers, building "buzz" online, etc.) are having an increasingly important impact on what films become hits, and � right or wrong � ensuring a movie's target audience finds the film is perhaps even more vital than achieving critical acclaim.
Marketing can be a tricky profession, because most people don't like ads. They take up extra space in the magazines we read, interrupt the programs we're trying to watch on TV, and cut into the airtime that radio stations have to play music. However, whether we like them or not, ads do work. Every time I drive by Subway, I think of the tagline "Eat fresh." When I hear the name GEICO, I think of a little green gecko. The best ads are the ones that work their way into the public consciousness so thoroughly (and so sneakily) they just become a part of the culture.
Movie studios spend a lot of time working on one of their most effective ads � trailers. They only have a minute or two to grab our attention and make a big enough impression that we'll remember to go see that movie when it's released a few months later. The goal is to build enough buzz about the film that seemingly everyone is talking about it, and it becomes more than just a movie � it's an event. If a studio can create a high level of excitement, negative reviews from critics may not even matter.
A good example of a successful Hollywood ad campaign � and frankly, perhaps one of the best ad campaigns in movie history � is Marvel's "The Avengers." Marvel literally spent years building up to this film, patiently releasing individual superhero movies with teasers about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Avengers program. By the time "The Avengers" finally arrived in 2012, it was the most buzzed about movie of the summer blockbuster season, generating even more excitement than Christopher Nolan's final "Batman" film.
Although "The Avengers" is a fun, exhilarating film, and I believe its success was very much deserved, it probably would not have earned $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office if Marvel had released it before any of its other superhero films and hadn't spent so much time carefully promoting it.
Conversely, a badly marketed film can perform poorly at the box office, perhaps even more poorly than it deserves. A recent example of this is Disney's $250 million sci-fi epic "John Carter." It received middle-of-the-road ratings from critics, (51 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning about half gave it a positive review). However, Disney's poorly-executed marketing campaign led to a weak opening weekend (only $30 million) and the film became a rather expensive flop. Another, more recent example, is "Jack the Giant Slayer," which struggled to find its voice. It received similar ratings but the advertising for the film gave off mixed messages: was this a dark, gritty fairy tale � la "Snow White and the Huntsman," or was it meant to be a light-hearted, humorous children's film? I don't think audiences knew, and the film also flopped on its opening weekend.
We live in an increasingly media-saturated world, and studios have to work harder to get their movies noticed than they used to. The films generating the loudest buzz and the best marketing campaigns more often top the box office. Films that can't keep up may get buried amongst the entertainment clutter, and this sadly means that good films may slip under the radar. It can be tough for smaller films to compete with multi-million advertising budgets. I think this is why we've been seeing more sequels, prequels and remakes lately � it's a lot safer to make a film that already has an audience and name recognition. Half of the job of marketing is already done.
Another consequence of this shift is that it's tougher now for film critics from traditional media outlets, such as newspapers and magazines. They too are forced to compete to get their opinions heard. People share their opinions more and more through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and "word of mouth" has become a powerful marketing force, perhaps more powerful than a "thumb's up" or a "thumb's down" from a major movie critic. Is this a good shift or not? It's an interesting question.
So, what do you think? Is marketing a major force in determining what movies become blockbusters? If so, is this a positive or a negative change?

The above is a question I have been (instinctively?) holding the answer out
to be an emphatic: NO!
I have even been going so far as to state that BASIC is no longer the
appropriate name for this new language, which Microsoft is calling Visual
Basic.Net, preferring instead the shortened acronym Visual ASIC.Net as being
more correct for this new language.
However, David Bayley seems to think the opposite, and the purpose of this
thread is to begin an examination of that question - hopefully from a
reasoned, academic angle.
So, please, do participate, but please try to leave the emotionally-laden
stuff at the door, and any/all personal invectives are expressedly
UN-invited to this conversation.
There, that said, I will begin this discussion with a recap of a thread from
the vb.dotnet.technical newsgroup entitled: "Resource Management in VB.NOT?"
>>>Begin Recap<<<
Kathleen Dollard-Joeris, Bob Butler, Jeff Piel & David Bayley had a
sub-thread on the C# "Using" syntax...
<Bob Butler>
If you are saying that using the proposed construct is only valid if you
have a reference to an object that can safely have the Dispose method called
at the end then it's probably a bad idea. It only handles a subset of the
DF issues but makes it look like DF has been restored and I think that'd be
confusing for a lot of people and lead to a great deal of misuse. If DF can
not be provided in a fully consistent manner then I don't think the language
should attempt it at all.
</Bob Butler>
That is precisely why I despise the dispose() pattern. It is half-assed and
In classic VB we USED to be able to rely on the refcounting semantics under
the hood to do a 100% good job - up to the point where we got fancy enough
in our code to bring circular reference problems into the mix.
This is simply no longer the case, and therefore the enitre resource
management topic/problem are much more important and significant to
lower-level VB coders than ever before. This represents a loss to the VB
world, not a gain.
<Patrick Steele>
It's all relative.
One man's garbage (sorry for the pun!) is another man's treasure...
</Patrick Steele>
....Not for the newbies it isn't!
Let me ask you this: Which language, VB6 or VB.Net (I'm artificially
limiting your choices to just those for discussion purposes, and for these
discussion purposes, assume that this question occurs 2 weeks after FCS of
the VS.Net - and all the "It's Beta" objections are gone), would you rather
put a newbie programmer in front of with an initial small-scale DB
application assignment on his/her first week of the job? You and they both
will be graded on speed of completion and the performance/stability of the
application produced, but THEY will have to do all the work, not you....?
<David Bayley>
VB.NET of course. It is *SOOOOO* much more consistent and easier to learn
for the newbie.
That's what people are complaining about!!! They cleaned VB out and made it
superb for the newbie, but backwards-compatibility was thrown out the
window. Honestly, I started listing all the benefits but just snipped it
all, since the list just went on, and on, and on, and on.
</David Bayley>
<snipped Me>
<David Bayley again>
....the arguments for VB.NET were lots of small things that
individually didn't amount to much, but put it all together...
Essentially I felt myself having to justify every little change that has
been made in VB.NET (putting backwards-compatibility aside of course). I
think it will make a refreshing discussion, and the instinctive reaction of
a well tuned VB'er is to view VB.NET as "more complicated"...
</David Bayley>
>>>End Recap<<<
....which pretty much brings us current, save for a parting "Visual ASIC it
ain't!" shot David fired at me.<g>
Ok, David, Here's the floor, let's see that list of what makes VB.Net
"*SOOOOO* much more consistent and easier to learn for the newbie." than VB6

Editor's note: The following is a repeat of a Johnnie St. Vrain column from November of 2009, about unusual cloud formations over the Front Range.Given the fantastic formations we've seen over the past few weeks, I thought you would want to see this.
Dear Readers: The Times-Call newsroom recently received the following question from A.R., which, while not addressed to Johnnie, is one that I believe I should answer.
"Tuesday at 5:32 p.m., I noticed the oddest and scariest cloud that I have seen in Colorado. It looked like a gigantic, fat tornado-to-be. It was dipping down like a funnel, but it was fluffy and fat and took up most of the sky. It was in the northwest area of the sky. What was that thing? Does it have a name? Was it a tornado hatchling?"
Dear A.R.: I went straight to our local weather expert, Dave Larison, with this question.
He had not seen the cloud, but he had a good idea what it wasn't and what it was.
"It certainly wasn't tornado-related, " he wrote. "I would guess it was some kind of wave or 'lenticular' cloud, produced by moderate to strong atmospheric wind flow over the mountains. These clouds sometimes appear in odd shapes."
I went to a number of meteorological Web sites that provide images of cloud types. Lenticular clouds are fascinating. "Lenticular, " according to Webster, is "having the shape of a double convex lens."
I have included photos of these clouds, courtesy of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder.

To the Editor:
I won't respond to all these ridiculous spins from Dennis Roddy's rebuttal of my column about Gov. Corbett. But, the facts are facts.
To the Editor:
I won't respond to all these ridiculous spins from Dennis Roddy's rebuttal of my column about Gov. Corbett. But, the facts are facts.
Corbett DID cut $1 billion from higher education--the legislature restored much of that cut, but Roddy can't now claim only "only" a 12% reduction. It is well-documented what Corbett did to education in the state, and Mr. Roddy, the governor's "special assistant," can't dance around the facts.
Second, on trade missions. I never said they were paid by taxpayers. BUT, the questions remain--how many tax dollars were directed to this "semi-private" organization from state departments? WHY were the "trade missions" even necessary when Pennsylvania should have focused on bringing American companies into the state and, more important, KEEPING Pennsylvania companies AND college graduates in the state? And why were so many state officials needed to go on these missions--did they all "repay" the taxpayers for lost work time?
As to the job loss -- The Governor can spin all he wants, but Pennsylvania is still 49th in job creation. And, part of that is because Corbett inflated job numbers from fracking. That industry is now LEAVING the state; the temporary "boom" is going bust, and Corbett's call that he was going to make Pennsylvania the "Texas of the natural gas industry" is now little more than political gesturing.
Not just Democrats are upset with the Governor, so are Republicans, according to several independent polls. The reason Roddy didn't respond to the other points in the column are simple--he couldn't spin and rebut the rest of the facts. It's sad to see a former journalist who once had high credibility now selling himself as a PR guy, ignoring the facts, and trying to paint them a different color.

What's the price of glory? If you're a noted artist, performer or sports player, try a few years off your life.
So suggests a new study of career success, terminal disease frequency and longevity in which researchers found that "the price of fame is a faster flame." That conclusion is based on 1,000 consecutive obituaries published in the New York Times between 2009 and 2011, wherein athletes, performers and creative types led the shortest lives, and individuals recognized for business, military service and politics led the longest.
"If you consider that fame tends to come earlier to (sports and performing) careers than, say, to academics or professionals, then this shouldn't be altogether unanticipated from a statistician's viewpoint," said study co-author Dr. Richard Epstein, who holds appointments at the University of New South Wales and St. Vincent's Hospital in Australia.
"Nonetheless, the question is raised as to why our sample showed earlier deaths in this group. A much larger study would be needed to clarify this; inclusion of dangerous sports like boxing or car racing could be involved, or biases towards publishing obituaries of those who suffered tragic early deaths could contribute. Still, the difference between different career groups remains intriguing."
Researchers organized the late luminaries (an obit in the Times was presumed to signal career prestige) according to occupation. For instance, actors, singers, musicians and dancers were classified as 'performers;' writers, composers, artists and photographers were dubbed 'creatives;' and historians, linguists, philosophers and economists were 'academics.'
Though the sample was limited to individuals whom the newspaper chose to honour – notably, more than 80 per cent of the obits were for men – some interesting trends emerged.
Athletes, performers and creative types met their maker soonest (77.4 years, 77.1 years and 78.5 years, respectively), whereas people known for their military service, business backgrounds or political participation lived the longest (84.7 years, 83.3 years and 82.1 years, respectively).
Additionally, the analysis found younger deaths were most often linked to accidents, infection and organ-specific cancers, while "old age" was the most-cited cause of death for philanthropists, academics and doctors (less so for athletes, performers and creative workers).
Finally, deaths linked to cancer – especially that of the lung – were most common amongst performers and creative types.
"The most tempting speculation from this small study is that avoidable risk behaviours – including, but not limited to, smoking, alcohol and illicit drugs – could be differentially distributed between the different career types," said Epstein. "One has only to look at the tremendous creative surge of the 1960s to get the impression that drug use – not only the illicit variety, but also cigarettes and alcohol – fuelled a lot of this remarkable creative productivity."
The study, co-authored by the University of Queensland's Catherine Epstein, was published this month in the medical journal QJM.

CHAMPAIGN – Veteran Charles F. "Chick" Bruns of Champaign wrote a "blog" during World War II.
Only now is it being published.
And with the help of a website created by his son, readers can follow along – 70 years later – with daily entries in his diary, as his unit served in north Africa and Europe, until the war's end.
Bruns' son, Cissna Park farmer John Bruns, has repurposed the diary into a website, www.70yearsago.com
"My father is blogging from the past," John Bruns said.
Chick Bruns, 94, a graduate of Holy Cross School and Champaign High School, had been selling clothing at Joseph Kuhn & Co. in downtown Champaign when he decided to volunteer for a year of duty with the U.S. Army.
Before that year was up, the U.S. had entered World War II, and Bruns found himself among the first servicemen headed as part of the Third Infantry Division for the invasion of Africa in the fall of 1942.
Bruns and the rest of his unit hit the beaches about 20 miles from Casablanca.
Since Bruns' unit were combat engineers who did everything from building roads to defusing enemy mines, Bruns rode a truck as the Army moved across the deserts of north Africa.
"It was very different from working at Joseph Kuhn & Co.," he said.
Bruns began a diary, where he noted his experiences and emotions each day of the war, from Africa to Sicily, Italy, France, Germany and Austria.
"A lot of that diary was scribbled as I tried to keep track of what happened," Chick Bruns said.
Shortly after arriving in Africa, his ship sank, taking most of his personal possessions.
But Bruns happened to keep that notebook and a camera with him when the ship sank, allowing him to document his daily thoughts and experiences until after the German surrender in 1945.
Bruns also sent frequent letters back home to his family in Champaign, keeping them up to date on his experiences.
"I sent back letters as many times as I could," Chick Bruns said.
Long after the war ended, Chick Bruns would frequently tell his war tales to John and his brother, Charles Bruns Jr.
John Bruns said those tales left a good impression upon him, and he thought his father's experiences should be shared with the public.
So John Bruns began transcribing Chick Bruns' diary with the intention of converting the text into a book.
Since some of the copy was written in pencil on onionskin paper, John met with his dad a couple times a month to ensure accuracy.
"I sent inquiries to different publishers and never got any interest in a book, so I decided to go in another direction," John Bruns said.
When the elder Bruns took part in an Honor Flight last year to the World War II Memorial in Washington, it occurred to John Bruns that October 2012 would be 70 years from the date that his father began his diary.
"I saw that the domain name 70yearsago.com was available, and off I went," John Burns said.
Presented in a blog format, each day the site includes what Chick Bruns wrote and photos he took, along with newspaper articles and historic references.
John Bruns said the site allows viewers to experience what his father did in the war in real time.
"He was writing with the blog format back then," John Bruns said. "You could say he was a man ahead of his time."
The site also includes "Where's Chick" maps, allowing viewers to see where Bruns was on specific days as his unit moved across Africa and later into Europe.
"It just seemed like a natural thing to do to show people the progress his division took," he said.
John Bruns said one of his favorite tales from the war involved a fruitcake.
"In December 1943 he got a fruitcake from his aunt," he said. "It took about four or five weeks for the fruitcake to reach him.
"By the time my father opened the package, the fruit and most things in the cake were all moldy, but they ate it anyway."
Chick Bruns said one of his jobs was to defuse mines that had been placed by enemy forces.
"We were always finding mines because the enemy mined the roads a lot," he said. "If the infantry called us to some mines, we went there.
"If a mine was booby trapped, we would detonate it. But most of the time we would take the core out of the mine. We always carried pins in our pocket. We would stick the pins into the top part of the mine so the core wouldn't go down when you stepped on it."
Bruns said making mines safe was nerve-wracking at first.
"But as time went by, you just get over it," he said. "It wasn't so bad losing somebody in the platoon, but when you lost your friend, then that made a big difference."
John Bruns said some of the daily comments are heart-breaking.
"There were times in his diary when my dad would say he would be home by Christmas the next year. He didn't think it would be a 31/2-year event," he said.
On Nov. 2, 1943, Chick Bruns wrote:
"Listen mom & dad, quit thinking that I will be home after my year is up because that's out of the question. They need us, so we will stay till the war is over. I don't think you will have long to wait. I think I'll be home by next June."
Bruns' prediction was off by about a year. VE Day was May 1945, not in 1944.
The diary also offers a glimpse of Bruns' loyalty to his unit.
"When they were in Anzio in Italy, his truck got hit by an artillery shell, and one of his best friends was killed," John Bruns said. "My dad was in the hospital with shrapnel in his back and leg, and my mom got a message that he was injured in action," John Bruns said.
As Bruns' outfit continued on to Rome, Bruns didn't want to be left out.
"So I got up, left the hospital and hitchhiked back to my outfit," Chick Bruns said. "A lot of times when you go to the hospital and get out, they shipped you to a different outfit. But I had been with this particular outfit for two years or more, and I didn't want to miss out."
"Then my mom got a message he was missing in action because they didn't know where he was," John Bruns said. "But my family still kept getting letters from him, so we knew he wasn't missing."
Later in the war Bruns and his outfit reached Adolf Hitler's home.
"The British had bombed it the day before. I've got pictures showing the smoke coming out of Hitler's home," Chick Bruns said. "We were there days before the outfit depicted in 'Band of Brothers' got there."
Of the 200 members of Bruns' unit at the start of the war, only eight survived to make it home at war's end, Chick Bruns said.
"We probably lost more people from drowning as boats turned over than we did from gun fighting," he said.
When it was time to head back to Champaign, Bruns sent a joyous final letter home to his parents.
"Now don't think I'm a big baby if I break down and cry, but I have missed both of you so much that you will never know how much," he wrote on July 14, 1945.
After the war ended, Chick Bruns began a career with the composing department at The News-Gazette, a job he held for 40 years until his retirement in the mid-1980s.
Bruns is still active with Holy Cross Catholic Church, where he has served as an usher for more than 65 years.
John Bruns said the people of today can learn much from the website.
"It gives you an idea of what my dad has been through," he said. "That was a different generation back then. And when it was over, they went on with their lives. They are all heroes."

This movie is all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. Users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

Salvador Dalí is often quoted as saying, ''I don't do drugs, I am drugs.'' Whether or not this is a case of attribution decay, it's certainly an appropriate statement for the surreal artist. Although it would be silly to suggest that John Dies at the End is on par with such an influential artist (and the movie will certainly never take over Dalí's monopoly of dorm room posters and assorted ephemera), it definitely feels like taking a trip down the rabbit hole.
Chase Williamson and Rob Mayes star as Dave and John, respectively, best buds and regular dudes who find themselves face to face with grotesque monsters from alternate dimensions and a panoply of other mind-bending horrors, all thanks to a drug nicknamed Soy Sauce. The Sauce is an icky sentient black goop that destroys most of the people who inject it (and those who live will never be the same). When we meet Dave and John, they're problem-solvers of a sort; if something weird is happening to you — say you're being harassed by your dead boyfriend — they're the ones to call.
The Sauce didn't kill them; it has given them a certain insight into the twisted nature of the universe. Much to Dave's dismay, it chose them to save us from certain doom on a regular basis, starting with a gross creature from another dimension called Korrok. It's kind of a bubbly vat of sentient goo with one terrible eyeball, and it gains knowledge through osmosis. Naturally, Korrok would like to nibble on Dave and John to learn their ways so it and a whole legion of freaky followers can hop into our dimension and take over the world we live in. Before they can do that, they have a whole host of other problems to deal with, like John's untimely demise, for starters.
John Dies at the End is a logic puzzle that the viewer has to tease out the meaning of. It benefits from subsequent viewings, especially since writer/director Don Coscarelli and author David Wong throw so much at you from the very beginning. (Coscarelli adapted the book for the screen.) It's a hallucinatory midnight movie that is so damn fun it's easy to forgive just how hazy it seems in hindsight. There's also a certain sense of disappointment when Dave and John's mission comes to an end, possibly because the two characters and all the weird things they encounter are so entertaining that we hate to leave them.
Coscarelli fans will especially appreciate a small cameo by Angus Scrimm, who played the terrifying Tall Man in Coscarelli's Phantasm series, as a priest. And any genre lover worth their Sauce will love seeing Doug Jones out of prosthetics (but no less disarming) as a creepy interstellar traveler. Paul Giamatti plays a skeptical journalist who's writing a story about Dave and his misadventures; this narrative is the framing device and ultimately is a bit of a disappointment.
The practical effects have a nice goopy look to them, and Coscarelli makes the smart decision to use an animated sequence for some scenes that would have been extraordinarily difficult to create on such a small budget. John Dies at the End is alternately trippy, gross, and droll, and it has a cool B-movie vibe without looking too cheap. Although it's available on demand, this would be a fun night out at the movies.

Black shoe polish, a lighter, nylons, spit or faucet water, a freezer, cotton balls, wax. I was running late, so I just grabbed two clean socks and wrapped them around a worn can of Kiwi and a half-empty lighter. I placed them all in my jacket pocket. I could feel the soft lump pressing against my side as I drove to my parents' house.

Yeah, I know, I used just a tad of hyperbole, but I made you look.
So what's the rip on Schmemman? People either seem to love his writings or practically write him off as a heretic. He doesn't really seem like an Ecumenist to me. I'm currently reading a book called Eastern Orthodox Theology, edited by Clendinin (who I think is non-Orthodox), but all of the articles are by Orthodox writers. There are two by Schmemman on Evangelism/Dialogue with non-Orthodox and they don't seem to be comprimising of the Faith at all - he points out the failings pointlessness of the WCC stuff! I really don't get it.
I just checked out Great Lent from our lending library and am looking forward to reading it once I'm done with EO Theology.
Yeah, he seems to have had a grasp of who the Church was; I think he just thought the Church could still hold to this without calling the heterodox completely graceless. And I think there's support for that, since the traditions of (for example) reception of heterodox have been just that: traditionS. It seems to reflect the two different outlooks that have existed side-by-side in the Church for two thousand years: one that says that a baptism is correct, just incomplete, and the other that says that it's completely invalid and graceless, so it can be done away with.I think another area he's looked down upon for is his view of liturgical theology: he didn't recommend changing anything (quite the contrary; liturgically, as I understand from my priest, he was a real stickler when it came to rubrics), but he rather wanted folks to see the rubrics, the flow of the service, the very heart of the service in a different way. I think this upset many, who didn't approve of his views, calling them "protestantizations" and worse.
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
Isn't that the point of journals?To be honest, even confessional?So that you can read over it tomorrow or next week and pray or repent, give thanks or ask for help?Or look back a year or two and ask - have I grown any since I recorded this entry?I think punblished journals are not meant to be biographical regarding the writer of them - they are meant to be autobiographical - FOR US reading them. How am I like him in this judgment or that critique? Or, do I have the courage to look at myself this transparently. ANOTHER'S journal can be a mirror into MY SOUL.
I don't know if I think that writing journals is a spiritually profitable thing. Why would you want to keep a record of your sin? You should be brutally honest in confession, but keeping a record of the sin might be a temptation down the line.Anastasios
"In these Journals, one sees Schmemann's overly critical, haughty, vicious criticisms of others. You see him criticize an Orthodox priest for wearing his cassock to Education Day, with Schmemann attributing to him pride and a belief that "externals save." What utter judgmentalism!"Actually the journal reads:"Another temptation of religion-which was made clear to me in conversation about some priest-is piety. Looking at some of our priest, walking around the semianry on Education Day, one can physically feel theirworship of cassocks, clerical hats, all that constitutes this visible piety. And then one hears that almost all of them are condemning all others for lack of spirituality, lack of piety."What utter insight! Fr. Deacon Lance
Just the opposite. He is talking about those whose piety is focused on externals. They wear their cassocks, riassas, and klobuks and exalt themselves for it and then turn around and belittle others for their lack of piety based on their externals. Many of the Fathers had the same things to say about their contemporaries.

He is right. It's the same legalistic mentaliity that overly focuses too much on outwardly things while they forget about the more important aspects of being a good christian. For instance, I have heard some criticism of priest that wear western garb and I think that starts to fall into the lines of legalism. I beleive externals are important, but why dwell on the minutia of the smallest details of someones garb when the apostles never lectured anyone on such matters once and nothing was formulized for hundreds of years.
Of course, since we weren't there, and didn't observe the people he is talking about, and have NO IDEA of the situation that would spur Schmemman to write that, we have little business for judging him, don't we?
He's dead wrong. Wearing the clerical garb and otherwise following the Traditions of the Church are ways to free the person from the legalism of the rationalizing power of the human mind, and free it for genuine spirituality.Anastasios

I must agree with our esteemed administrator here. Following all the "external" rules of Orthodoxy is a sign of obedience that leads to an inner spiritual life. Of course there people with long beards and cassocks that lack a Christian heart.
But I am worried about following the guidance of a priest that not only doesn't follow the rules of Orthodoxy but seems to hold them in contempt and mock those that do.
These things can free, and these things can bind. The same can be said for wearing a prayer rope around the wrist instead of carrying it in one's pocket. Or constantly adding to one's icon corner (or bookshelf) at home. We've got plenty to work on w/out getting on Fr. Alexander...I can really see a tendency I have from reading that excerpt Dn. Lance posted....
"Not follow the rules of Orthodoxy" how?
Speaking of Fr. Seraphim, the criticisms of Fr. Alexander in Fr. Seraphim's Biography (in the chapter on "Renovationism," among others) pretty well sum up my own thoughts on the matter.
Actually it is ironic that very idea in question that Mr. Lance seems to be holding in such esteem in condemnation of the entire concept of the unia.
Nektarios,Whatever you think of the Catholic Church "Mr. Lance" is a deacon of the Catholic Church and should be referred to as such. It is very rude of you to call him "Mr. Lance." An another board the administrator admonishes people who do not use the titles of clerics proper to their churches, the same thing should be done here. It is NOT AN ORTHODOX VIRTUE TO BE RUDE.TonyS
Elisha,I was thinking of Chapter 61 of the work Not of This World: The Life and Teachings of Fr. Seraphim Rose. In the copy I have (which is the original version and not the revised one), Chapter 61 is called "Renovationism" and focuses on what is perceived to be reforming tendencies "from the left". I have my own thoughts on Frs. Alexander Schmemann, John Meyendorff, et al. from reading their books, but I thought it better just to reference Fr. Seraphim's thoughts. Considering the way this thread has turned out, I wish I would have said nothing at all
