In these, as in her other photographs, Freedman exhibits an almost mystical ability to capture the story she is after solely in the expression on her subjects' faces. The pursed lips and bearded chin of the only rabbi in the Czech Republic. A little girl twirling in circles in the playroom of a Jewish kindergarten in Prague. A toothless old man clapping with delight at a dance for Jews in Hungary. A man in tennis shorts and a baseball cap exiting the barracks at Auschwitz, his face etched with a pain too deep for tears. Three teenagers, members of a church group cleaning up a Jewish cemetery in Poland, smirking defiantly at the camera.
All of these pictures have captions typed on the back -- spare commentaries that not only reveal Freedman's knowledge of the subject, but also make her point of view blatantly clear. One photo shows a "Jewish tour" in Prague, a tourist activity during which, Freedman writes, "German tourists walk on Jewish graves." To accompany a seemingly innocent photograph of two adolescents embracing on a bench in Poland, she writes: "Teenagers making out next to the river where the ashes of 22,000 Jews who died in the ghetto were thrown."
The photographs link the plethora of lives affected by Hitler's pogroms -- Jews and Gentiles, young and old, living and dead -- conveying great emotion without pathos. "I've seen a lot of so-called art and pictures about the Holocaust that have nothing to do with it -- it's just crappy-ass stuff," Freedman huffs. "I was worried, 'Am I worthy of the subject? Do I have something to contribute?' I really suffered about the worthiness number, then I thought, 'That's a cop-out.' I have as much right to say something about it as anyone else because it's been with me my whole life. Everyone in my generation who was born during the war or after or around that time -- it really affected us, the fact that it could have been us."
It was in Pittsburgh, after World War II, that Freedman discovered the Holocaust. At age seven in 1946, she came across some copies of Life magazine that her parents had piled up in the attic. She started going up there every day after school to look at the pictures in the magazines. Children in the Warsaw ghetto. The emaciated bodies of people in the concentration camps. Piles of cadavers. It was her first exposure to photojournalism.
"They say a picture steals your soul," she wrote in her application to the Alicia Patterson Foundation. "Maybe those pictures stole mine. Like they stole my innocence."
Fourth-generation Americans, the Freedmans were one of the few Jewish families in a middle-class Pittsburgh neighborhood whose residents were mostly of Polish and Irish descent. Her father was a traveling salesman who hawked steel cabinets, her mother a nurse-turned-housewife. Freedman recounts how her classmates chased her and beat her up after school, calling her "a dirty Jew." She fought back, and they learned to leave her alone.
She also played softball -- shortstop and substitute pitcher. "I wasn't allowed in the Little League and I could play ball better than any guy in grade school," she scoffs. "The Mighty Midgets, big deal. I hit two homers over the fence, and they wouldn't let me play because I was a girl. That really pissed me off. I lived for baseball."
One pleasurable event in Freedman's childhood was a trip she took to Miami Beach with her parents. They stayed at the Raleigh hotel on Collins Avenue. She still remembers the glamorous showgirls, the elegant guests, the retirees dancing in Lumus Park on Ocean Drive. "I expected Miami Beach would be the same way that it was then," she laughs, walking the few blocks from her apartment to the Raleigh for a late lunch on a Monday afternoon. She grimaces at two Winnebagos, sure signs of a fashion shoot in progress, parked in front of the hotel. "If I knew this town was full of models, I wouldn't have come," she snaps. "Where are the lovely old Jewish people? They all had stories. I love a good story."
Within seconds after sitting down at a table on the hotel's patio, Freedman has made friends with a young waiter, who brings her a hamburger, even though the kitchen has already closed. She picks up her story as she eats. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, where she studied anthropology and sociology, she went to Israel, still fascinated by the Holocaust. "I wanted to make sure that the Jews there were all right," she explains. "For next time. I always knew there'd be a next time." There was also a more frivolous motive for her trip. "I met an Israeli waiter the summer before," she grins. "He was gorgeous."
Freedman booked passage on a ship, landing in the port city of Jaffa. "I loved the sea," she says wistfully. "If I were a man, I would have shipped out. Merchant marine." Instead, a pretty girl, with corn-silk hair and a turned-up nose, she played guitar and sang, performing in small clubs and coffeehouses. With some musicians she met in Israel, she took off to Europe, where she traveled around, supporting herself as a singer for two and a half years. "I was no Sarah Vaughan," she laughs. "I did have the chance to make a record. That's when I said, 'No, there's something I should do with my life.'" And she decided she wanted to do that something -- whatever it was -- in New York, so in 1964 she moved there. "I was always waiting to grow up and go to New York," she says, taking a sip of iced tea. "I figured I was a native New Yorker born in Pittsburgh."

As a small-busted woman, I am finding that my muslin toile needs an extra dart in the sides at the bust, otherwise the above-bust/ next to shoulder area is too poufy. Will this affect the way the sleeves fit?

Phillip Phillips does a hokey version of Billy Joel on 'American Idol'
Phillip Phillips doing Billy Joel's "Movin' Out" for his second song -- his self-chosen favorite song of the season -- on the "American Idol" finale.
It's a gritty, slightly hokey version; almost like he's in a Broadway show, acting out the song. I wasn't crazy about the song the first time he sang it, and likewise, feel like it's not Phillips at his best.
Not sure why he chose it, there wasn't a big audience or judge reaction the first time around or anything.
PHOTOS: Season 12 highlights | Can you name all the "Idol" winners?
Steven Tyler thinks Jessica Sanchez won round two, just like she won round one; I agree with him about this round. Randy Jackson thinks it was a tie, Jennifer Lopez thinks Phillips won this round.
And they're off to commerical; I guess that's the extent of the comments from the judges we're getting tonight.

Katherine Siva Saubel, a Native American scholar, Cahuilla historian, co-founder of the Malki Museum, and one California's most respected tribal elders, died Tuesday at her home on the Morongo Indian Reservation, her nephew and caregiver said Wednesday.
"It is windy today, because the wind is looking for her," Kevin Siva, a lifelong resident of the Morongo Reservation, said in a phone interview. "She always told me stories about the wind when I was younger."
Saubel died Tuesday at home in bed, "very peacefully," said Siva, who has been his aunt's caregiver for the past 15 years.
Saubel was born in March 1920 in her village Pachaval in northern San Diego County, Siva said.
She came to the Morongo Reservation when she was 18 years old, and she had lived there 73 years, Siva said.
Saubel was a widow, and her husband was Mariano Saubel, Siva said.
She is survived by one son, Allen Saubel, of Florida, three grandsons, Aaron, Allen and Steven, a granddaughter, Maria, and numerous nieces and nephews, Siva said.
Saubel earned a PhD during her studies and she was a doctor of philosophy, Siva said.
Tribal Council Chairman Robert Martin of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians expressed his tribe's condolences and grief.
"Dr. Saubel was truly remarkable, both as a leader and as a fierce defender of Native American culture, from the preservation of the traditional Cahuilla language to the protection of sacred sites," Martin said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
"As an author, a leader, an academic and an activist, she displayed astonishing skill, courage and compassion as she worked tirelessly to preserve Native American culture and reignite interest in our rich heritage among the public and our tribal youth," Martin said.
"We will miss her wit and her wisdom, her ability to inspire others through hard work and laughter, and her enduring commitment to our cultural and spiritual beliefs," Martin said.
According to a biography on the Malki Museum web site, Saubel was born Katherine Siva to Cahuilla-speaking parents at Pachawal Pa, the upper village of the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation.
She spent the first years of her life in the mountains above Warner Springs, where only Cahuilla was spoken, according to the Malki Museum.
She had 11 siblings in her immediate family - six boys and five girls - and she was the eighth.
At the time, the Los Coyotes Reservation was more isolated than it is today, and its isolation was a factor in Saubel's "superb command of her native tongue and for her profound understanding of Cahuilla culture," according to the Malki Museum.
Although she lived more than 90 years in an English-dominated world, she was "a dominant native speaker of her dialect of Cahuilla known as 'Mountain Cahuilla,'" and the Cahuilla culture was very much alive in her heart, according to the Malki Museum.
Back in the 1920s, Saubel's father took advice from a Cahuilla shaman and moved his family out of Los Coyotes to a warmer part of the Cahuilla territory, settling on the land of her mother's uncle, Pedro Chino, at the Agua Caliente Reservation in Palm Springs, according to the Malki Museum.
There she learned to speak the "Pass Cahuilla" dialect, even though it is the dialect of Cahuilla most divergent from Mountain Cahuilla.
Around this time in the mid-1920s, she entered the segregated elementary school in Palm Springs, where "she acquired English by the time honored sink-or-swim pedagogical method," according to the Malki Museum.
"She initially spoke not one word of English, but she learned by observing and figuring out what was being said. No one taught her; she was just put in the back of the classroom and ignored, but she still learned."
She was a tomboy, often playing and rough-housing with her brothers – running, climbing trees, and making mischief. Her grandmother once made her some dolls to play with, and sat to play with her. But she did not like it, and upset her grandmother by throwing the dolls up in a tree so she could climb up into the tree, according to the Malki Museum.
After she finished primary school, she wanted to go to high school, but at the time there was not one in Palm Springs.
So she had to take a bus with white students to Banning. She was athletic and enjoyed sports like softball and archery, according to the Malki Museum. She was the best archer in the otherwise all-male class.
Halfway through high school, the Palm Springs high school was finished, so she transferred and was the first Native American woman to graduate from there, according to the Malki Museum.
As a very young woman, she began to realize the imminent loss of Native American culture and knowledge, which had been passed down through generations.
During her high school years, she kept a notebook describing all of the familiar native plants and their uses as foods, tools, and medicines, according to the Malki Museum.
Her family was able to survive well during the Great Depression of the 1930s by going back to their traditional ways of hunting and gathering. They never went hungry, and she learned from her mother, who was a great cook, gatherer, and medicine woman, according to the Malki Museum.
"Her mother instilled in her the idea that you must take care of the earth because it takes care of you, and if you destroy it you are destroying yourself," according to the Malki Museum.
She was never afraid to stand up for her people and their rights. During high school she had to wait at a bus stop on the reservation in front of a small restaurant that had a sign in the window saying "Whites Only."
When she noticed the sign, she went into the restaurant and told the owner to take it down because his restaurant was on reservation land and he had no right to keep Indians out of a restaurant on their own land, according to the Malki Museum.
The owner didn't say a word when she told him this - she thought he was shocked to have an Indian teenage girl confront him - but later when she walked by the restaurant the sign had been taken down.
When she was 18, she met Wanikik Cahuilla Mariano Saubel at a Cahuilla ceremonial gathering, on the Palm Springs Reservation.
In 1940, at the age of 20, she married Mariano Saubel, who lived at the Morongo Reservation near Banning, where both Mountain and Pass Cahuilla were spoken, as well as the distantly related Serrano language, according to the Malki Museum.
Mariano and Katherine Saubel were married for forty-five years, until Mariano Saubel passed away in 1985. Allen was their only son, but they also helped raise his four children, as well as nieces and nephews. Mariano was supportive of Katherine's work to preserve Cahuilla and other Native cultures, and worked with her to found and build the Malki Museum.
In 1958, Saubel was introduced to Lowell Bean, who was then a student of ethnology and anthropology at UCLA.
This began a 40-year collaboration on Cahuilla culture. Bean introduced her to Dr. William Bright, Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at UCLA. Her life began to change – her formal education had begun, according to the Malki Museum.
The Kennedy Scholarship for Native Americans in 1962 allowed her to travel to the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she studied the fundamentals of ethnology, anthropology, and linguistics.
She then began giving seminars and study groups at UCLA, under the direction of Bright.
Together, Bean and Saubel in 1972 authored Temalpakh, a work detailing the ethnobotanical knowledge of the Cahuilla, with much of the information coming from Saubel's mother, who was a Cahuilla medicine woman.
Katherine Siva Saubel has since become known internationally as a Native American scholar, and appears in the biographical Reference Encyclopedia of the American Indian, 1967, and many other biographical reference works, according to the Malki Museum.
She has worked with other anthropologists and linguists, including German linguist Hansjakob Seiler, who with her assistance published two studies of the Cahuilla language. She also worked with Japanese linguist Dr. Kojiro Hioki, from the Hachinohe University. Drs. Seiler and Hioki worked together with her to publish an updated book on the Cahuilla language in 2006.
She also worked with linguist Eric Elliott for several years, and together they published a two-volume work with cultural memories and stories in Mountain Cahuilla and English, I'sill He'qwas Wa'xish: A Dried Coyote's Tail.
Saubel's life accomplishments include co-founding the Malki Museum in 1964, according to the museum. The Malki Museum opened in February 1965.

UVM makes list of 'Top 20 party schools in the US'August 05,2013By RYAN J. FOLEY
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — College students consider the University of Iowa the nation's best party school, even though Iowa City has tried to make its famous bar scene less hospitable to underage drinkers.
The Princeton Review bestowed Iowa with the top ranking Monday on a list determined by 126,000 students in a nationwide survey. Rounding out the Top 5 are: University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; West Virginia University and Syracuse University.
The organization also released its "stone-cold sober schools" list — led again this year by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; and followed by Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.
The rankings are based on surveys in which an average of 333 students per campus are asked 80 questions about a range of subjects in the last three school years. Its methodology uses a five-point scale, allowing for school-to-school comparisons.

Okay, this is short notice, but: A group of University of Tennessee students have put together an Indiegogo campaign to benefit the Birdhouse, a community arts center near the Fourth and Gill neighborhood. "We believe The Birdhouse is essential to the development of our community, because it functions as a space for business ideas and events that without it would not have a place to flourish," they write on the campaign page. They hope to raise $1,800 to build an outdoor storage shed so the Birdhouse can accommodate larger events while still providing space for its weekly meetings. (Apparently, limited storage space is an issue at the facility.) The campaign ends on Thursday, April 24, so get clicking!

The Sundance Catalog has a new owner.
Private equity firm Brentwood Associates, based in Los Angeles, has bought Sundance Holdings Group -- which runs the Salt Lake City-based catalog retailer founded by actor/filmmaker/activist Robert Redford in 1989.
The Wall Street Journal cites anonymous sources saying the deal is worth between $100 million and $150 million. Brentwood is buying Sundance Holdings from ACI Capital and Webster Capital, which invested equity in the company in 2004. Those stakeholders and Redford will maintain a small stake in the business, the Journal reports.
Sundance sells apparel, jewelry and artisan decor at stores in suburban Denver and north of San Francisco, as well as an outlet store in Salt Lake City's Sugarhouse neighborhood. Most of its business -- which adds up to between $100 million and $150 million a year -- comes from catalog and online sales, the Journal reports.

While it seems a bit unfair to smite the newly-crowned God Of War for simply doing his job, as the sequel to Sony's legendary action game gets underway that's what happens. Never one to toe the Olympian line, Kratos has continued helping his native Sparta in its bid to conquer the globe, defying the express wishes of the Gods. As he descends to wreak supernatural havoc on the people of Rhodes it falls to Athena, the architect of his ascendancy, to strip him of the powers he can't help but abuse.
Shrunk back to his natural size and left in the bloodied streets, Kratos can only watch as the city's towering Colossus statue is brought to life. There's a chorus of grinding metal as it wrenches free of its lifelong pose, eyes lit with divine electricity and feet tearing themselves from a crumbling pedestal. And it's here, before you've even tapped out your first combo, that you realise God Of War has lost absolutely none of its power.
Bringing cut-scenes, minigames and complex hack-and-slashing together into a seamless clash, this opening level is what David Jaffe's series first became famous for: a good old fashioned rollercoaster ride, with all its rails and clockwork props, writ large by the power of PlayStation. God Of War 2 is universally more ambitious than its predecessor, linking together enough plot devices to justify - almost - the who's who of monsters and legends that satisfies its hero's blades. Just a minute of Kratos's journey to the distant Temple of Fates, where heroes such as Perseus and Jason hope to rewrite history for their own gain, is worth dozens of your average set-pieces.
Business as usual
The Devil May Cry nazis will tell you it's a bogus thrill, of course, and that GOW is a game in which the simplest inputs - a triple tap of a single button, for example - produce a greater output than they deserve. And it's true to a degree. Though it's back to square one for Kratos's move set and equipment list, there's rarely a time when his attacks don't light up the screen and spill the blood of everyone within 30 feet. Again, combat is all about chaining attacks and dodges, countering flanking manoeuvres and watching the kill count fly. But it's not without technique - there's much to be learned about which moves can be interrupted for the sake of a dodge, and where chances lie within each opponent's attack patterns. But you only have to reach a certain level of proficiency or max out the power of Kratos's blades to make a routine out of bombarding enemies with magic and combos, parrying the occasional blow.
One thing Sony clearly didn't want in this game was downtime. There are no overlong runs between points A and B, no cut-scenes without the odd interaction to spice things up, and no chance to take a breather and plan your attack. This, once again, is all about the rush - the berserk charge through armour and flesh, and cavernous traps that open suddenly into the most extraordinary outdoor scenes. Almost half the game seems to occur midway between the Earth and Heaven, where the sun breaks over coloured clouds and vast kingdoms hang in the sky, waiting, of course, for you to clamber up their walls and kick in their luxuriously textured doors.
Action game
A few new actions have crept into Kratos's repertoire, such as overhead monkey climbs and grapple swings that orbit around rather than beneath their anchors. Almost all the mythical figures he encounters meet an astonishingly violent end, adding a legendary artefact to his inventory - Perseus's shield, for example, or Icarus's wings - that alters his basic skills. By and large, though, the game plays by familiar rules. Where there's a door that won't budge there's a lever or key, where there's a pressure plate there's a statue, where there's a glint of light there's an object to be manipulated. And when a bird-footed pygmy jumps out and blows his trumpet, you know he's calling out a cyclops to stomp all over you.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Color me conflicted.
Some people have told me over the years that I'm wishy washy at times. I used to get this complaint on a somewhat regular basis back in my broadcast days. It's not that I'm wishy washy, though. It's that I have what I consider to be a unique ability to see several sides of an issue simultaneously.
That's where I stand over the decision to ban Los Angeles Clippers Owner Donald Sterling for private racist remarks he made that were then made public.
Many people feel the "bold move" made by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is a step in the right direction, showing without doubt that the basketball league will not tolerate racism. Meh.
Others feel that Sterling's private comments are just that and should not be counted against him in his public life — meaning as owner of the Clippers.
I can see the second point of view more than I can see the first, to be honest. While I abhor racism, we are still in America and people have the right to say what they feel. That doesn't mean that NBA patrons and advertisers are required to put up with racist comments, however. And many can and would react by boycotting the team — maybe even the league.
This is where I can see the reasoning behind Silver's decision to ban Sterling from the league. From my point of view, it has little to do with standing up to racism and a lot to do with protecting the financial well-being of the league.
Others will sugar coat it and say that Silver and other NBA owners are actually standing up to racism. I say hogwash; they're standing up for capitalism. And there's nothing wrong with that. Kind of.

Tin 2 - Ethylhexanoate is a Tin source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds). Ethylhexanoates are carboxylates with many commercial applications. They are commonly used in various catalysts for oxidation, hydrogenation and polymerization and as an adhesion promoter. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered. Tin 2-Ethylhexanoate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds) sold by American Elements under the tradename AE Organo-Metallics™ for uses requiring non-aqueous solubility such as recent solar energy and water treatment applications. Similar results can sometimes also be achieved with Nanoparticles (also see Nanotechnology and Quantum Dots) and by thin film deposition. Note American Elements additionally supplies many materials as solutions. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.
Tin (atomic symbol: Sn, atomic number: 50) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 5 element with an atomic weight of 118.710. The number of electrons in each of tin's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 4 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p2. The tin atom has a radius of 140.5 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 217 pm.In its elemental form, tin has a silvery-gray metallic appearance. It is malleable, ductile and highly crystalline. Tin has nine stable isotopes and 18 unstable isotopes. Under 3.72 degrees Kelvin, Tin becomes a superconductor. Applications for tin include soldering, plating, and such alloys as pewter. The first uses of tin can be dated to the Bronze Age around 3000 BC in which tin and copper were combined to make the alloy bronze. The origin of the word tin comes from the Latin word Stannum which translates to the Anglo-Saxon word tin.

Editor of former MT sister City Paper pens op-ed in support of alt weeklies
Baynard Woods, senior editor at former MT sister Baltimore City Paper, has penned an op-ed for the New York Times in support of alt weeklies. City Paper did not join Detroit Metro Times, San Antonio Current, Cleveland Scene and Orlando Weekly in the newly-formed Euclid Media Group after the papers' former owner, Times Shamrock, announced the sale of their alternative weekly division, and was recently bought by Baltimore's daily, the Baltimore Sun.
Woods outlined some of the turmoil at City Paper following the announcement of sale, and offered the following support for alt weeklies:
[An] alt weekly is connected to a city in the way that a website can never be. In Baltimore, somewhere between 20 and 40 percent of the population doesn't have regular Internet access. The glib techno-utopians who not only foresee a paperless tomorrow, but also lobby for a paperless present, are ready to forget about these people. Alt weeklies might not always reach everyone in the city, but at least, like the dailies, they try to be available and relevant to everyone.
[...] An alt weekly has a staff of paid reporters and editors whose jobs are not only to know the city, but to love it, to hate it, and to be an integral part of it, cajoling, ridiculing, praising and skewering city officials, artists and entrepreneurs alike, while giving voices to the "city folk."
We think that is an eloquent summary.
EDIT: The New Times Broward – Palm Beach has a response that is also a good read: "Dear New York Times, Alt-Weeklies Are Decidedly Not "Over.'"

WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - You may not have heard of him, but a Christian man of letters, one of our greatest, passed away a few years ago. A native of Georgia and educated at its University, Marion Montgomery was a prolific writer. His works include three novels, a volume as yet uncollected of short stories, poetry, literary and cultural criticism, and a number of books that applied the Thomistic tradition to contemporary culture and the great works of American literature.
His greatest achievement, I believe, was his trilogy, The Prophetic Poet and the Spirit of the Age, with one volume devoted to Flannery O'Connor, one to Edgar Allan Poe, and another to Nathaniel Hawthorne. When it was published, I called it "Marion Montgomery's Summa Through the American Mind."
There is still nothing I know of that captures with such accuracy and probity the American "popular spirit," as it has evolved from the New England Puritans and Transcendentalists to the present legion of modernists. Its 1,400 pages contain nothing less than a "prophetic" critique of American culture as it has developed over the past two hundred years.
If the reader is confused by the present cultural tumult, and as a person of faith wonders what lies in the future and what got us here, Marion Montgomery can be the Virgil to our pilgrim. The day will come when his legacy is appreciated in its fullness, and the University of Georgia where he taught for 33 years will bestow on him the honor he deserves.
I am privileged to have known Marion, his wife Dot, and some of their children. Some months ago I spent the day with Dot and her daughter Heli in their home outside Athens going through cabinet after cabinet of papers and rooms filled with books. My real contribution was to have brought a nationally respected expert to view the collection Marion Montgomery had left with his family.
As I looked through the filing cabinets, I saw correspondence with members of the "Fugitive-Agrarian Movement," such as Donald Davidson, Robert Penn Warren, Cleanth Brooks, Allen Tate, Caroline Gordon, John Crowe Ransom, and Andrew Lytle who were major figures in the literary world of the 40s and 50s. In retrospect, Marion Montgomery will be seen as the best of the movement's second generation, especially when his fiction and poetry receive the attention they deserve.
But it was the moment we came upon a folder with the name Flannery O'Connor written in Marion's hand on the tab that my heart began to race. Inside were a number of letters, mostly handwritten, from Flannery to Marion and Dot.
What made these particular letters so poignant is that most of them were from the last year of Flannery's life, indeed, some were written only months before her death in 1964. Those familiar with the O'Connor letters collected by Sally Fitzgerald in The Habit of Being would be glad to know that the same self-deprecating humor and discerning eye were still very evident in her writing.
Also in that file was an introduction of Marion Montgomery written by Flannery herself when she hosted him for a lecture in Milledgeville, Georgia, where she lived on the family farm, Andalusia, with her mother Regina.
I have asked for permission to quote from Flannery's introduction of Marion, but anyone who reads it will be struck by her deep respect for Montgomery as a writer of fiction and as a critic. Indeed, she spoke of him as a peer, and Flannery O'Connor was not a person who embellished her opinions.
Montgomery followed his friend O'Connor in calling himself a "Hillbilly Thomist," but his learning was broad and deep - it cut to the core of Western civilization, its metaphysical ailments, and spiritual confusions. If you are not ready to tackle the trilogy, one of the best places to start reading Montgomery is his "Possum and Other Receipts for the Recovery of "Southern' Being."
Whereas many scholars take the principles of Aristotle, St. Thomas, and modern Thomists such as Maritain, Gilson, and Pieper, and apply them like a cookie cutter to the culture, Montgomery had developed the habitus of Thomistic thought, its wisdom, and never spoiled the course of his narrative with a clutter of quotations from the Summa and modern Thomists. Montgomery was a modern Thomist, the only Thomist who has critically surveyed the devolution of American culture into postmodernism.
Here is a taste of Montgomery taken from his Preface to The Prophetic Poet and the Spirit of the Age:
We shall consider whether, in consequence of the triumph of opinion over reasoned judgment, a consequence of ideological illusions practiced upon the community of man this past four or five hundred years in the interest of gathering power over nature and man - the popular spirit of our age has reached a condition whereby each man must be his own ideologue; whether indeed he insists upon being so as a "natural right"; and whether there is rescue from the isolation of that position.
What Montgomery had done for American studies can be compared with Paul Johnson's Modern Times, Friedrich Heer's Intellectual History of the West, and Cornelio Fabro's God in Exile. In each of these magisterial works, a Christian realist uncovers the intellectual and spiritual mistakes that led to the deadly combination of secularity and despotism.
Like O'Connor, Montgomery spoke with a distinctly Catholic voice from the heartland of the Protestant South (he attended an Anglo-Catholic church). Widespread recognition of O'Connor's writing came slowly because she "stayed home," as Marion put it. When Montgomery said of O'Connor, "Being a Southerner does not in fact set her in a separate world," he speaks also of himself.
Being a fellow Southerner, Montgomery also weighed in on the issue of manners, as O'Connor did so eloquently in the collection entitled Mystery and Manners. Montgomery, perhaps, explains the importance of manners more clearly than his friend from Milledgeville:
Let us say that manners are what we discover in community as an aid to the individual member in those moments when his good will falters and best thought weakens. It is the poetry of being beyond the literal words or gestures that embody manners. Manners let the soul catch its breath in the difficult journey of the world where at every moment one may lead himself astray..
"Manners let the soul catch its breath in the difficult journey of the world." Those are the words of a thinker whose influence should be felt at the present moment in our nation's history, when manners have been virtually abandoned both in action and in aspiration. The mystery of manners, after all, is that manners link us to the mystery through which we have life and redemption. There is no more trustworthy guide back to that mystery than Marion Montgomery.

text: Wizard Build: Safety Lock Below is my Wiz build idea. It has no signature skills, but before I get lambasted for being the reason Blizz created the default skill selection system, let me explain how it works. SKILLS: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#ikTXgQ!ZUX!bYZZZb If they change the calculator URL again, here are the skills written out with some alternatives: Passives: (1) Power Hungry (2) Temporal Flux (3) Astral Presence Actives/Runes: (1) Disintegrate/Volatility (or perhaps Convergence if Volatility does not work with Temporal Flux or if Convergence is just better at dealing damage and/or slowing enemies with Temporal Flux). (2) Slow Time\Time Warp (or, if you need CC more than the damage increase, Perpetuity or Miasma, depending on which ever give you more movement control). (3) Meteor/Comet (4) Teleport/Reversal (or Calamity if Reversal ends up redundant or I need \Calamity's protection). (5) Storm Armor\Power of the Storm. (6) Diamond Skin\Prism. MAX AP AND AP REGEN: The build starts out with 120 AP, 12 AP regen and -3 AP cost thanks to Storm Armor and Astral Presence. I will describe what I'd imagine is a pretty normal play scenario for this build, but before I do, I should explain that I use the word "free" to mean that AP cost and AP regen cancel each other out, and "costless" to meant that the spell has no effect on the 12 AP/sec regen. STRATEGY: Disintegrate costs you 5 AP/sec after regen and slows enemies 30% for 2 sec. thanks to Temporal Flux. Given Disintegrate's pierce, this will hopefully mean a lot of slowed enemies, particularly if the slow applies to Volatility bursts. So, you spam Disintegrate for 4-5 seconds until enemies start to surround you, particularly trying to kill ranged enemies, but also sweeping incoming melee to slow them down. Hopefully, you will get a health globe to drop somewhere among these ranged enemies across the screen. That brings you down to 95 AP. When enemies get close, flip diamond skin, which is costless, and get another 15 AP cost reduction for 6 seconds. Run forward through the enemies for up to a second to get them chasing from behind. Your Diamond Skin should protect you. You gain 12 AP over this second to get you back to 107 AP. Cast Slow Time, also costless, sticking them inside it and slowing them 30%. Use teleport - which is free for you without Diamond Skin, but costless thanks to Diamond Skin - to instantly get all the way forward across the screen to safety before your Diamond Skin bursts. If you did get one of those health globes to drop across the screen, try to land near it. Don't use the globe yet. By now, another second should have passed and you are at 119 AP. Since you had them chasing behind you and you teleported further in the same direction, the enemies should have a good trip to get through the bubble. So turn around and cast Meteor/Comet on them, locking the enemies in the bubble. It costs you 42 AP per pop thanks to your active discounts, bringing you down to 77 AP. It also slows everything 60% for 3 sec., which means you should have a good movement lock going on in the bubble. And the Comet will benefit from the 20% damage increase from Slow Time. Another second should pass brining you up to 89 AP. Here the strategy can take a number of routes. (1) If there is a pack of enemies outside the bubble, drop Comet on them to keep them put. Then return to Disintegrate for the bubblers for a little under 3 seconds. (2) If there are only one or two enemies outside the bubble, Disintegrate them for a little under 3 seconds or until dead, then drop a Comet on the bubblers. (3) If all the enemies are in or near the bubble, which will be likely thanks to your getting them to chase you in the beginning, then Disintegrate them for a little under 3 seconds and then drop another comet on them to renew the slow and get another Comet+20% damage. All three of these routes will leave you with 32 AP. (99 AP - (42 AP from Comet + (5 AP/sec * 3 sec from Disintegrate)). If you did originally teleport near a health globe, grab it now. You probably still have a second of Diamond Skin left, so the strategy again has a couple of routes: (1) If you killed everything in the bubble, Teleport/Reversal back, which is still costless under your Diamond Skin, and pick up the health globes to top off your AP. (2) If you didn't kill everything in the bubble, but you did get that original health globe I mentioned above, then you are at 62 AP, you cast comet in that last second of Diamond Skin bringing you to 20 AP. You regenerate 12 AP at the end of that second to bring you back to 32. You then have 6 seconds of Disintegrate (8 if you managed to start while in Diamond Skin) and a free Teleport/Reversal somewhere in there. (3) If you didn't get a health globe and you didn't kill everything, then you are at 32 AP. You cast Disintegrate during that remaining second of Diamond Skin, bringing you up to 44 AP since it is costless under Diamond Skin. You now have another 8 seconds of Disintegrate and a free Teleport/Reversal somewhere in there. By then, hopefully, you should have cleared the screen enough and had enough health globes drop to get a good amount of AP back and probably even to top off your AP in a second or two. You should then be able to start the whole drill over with the 5 seconds of Disintegrate in the beginning, which will cover most of your cooldowns. FAIL-SAFES: That is the ideal way that the build works while soloing. But, there are plenty of failsafes in there if things go unexpectedly thanks to (1) the 3 different sources of slowing from Disintegrate (30%, 2 sec), Slow Time (30%, 8 sec) and Comet (60%, 3 sec); (2) the free damage mitigation from Diamond Skin, which also makes Disintegrate free; (3) the free CC and damage increase from Slow Time; (4) the free teleport; (5) the free and automatic lightning damage; (6) the CC and DoT from Comet, and (6) the three damage types in case you run up against any resists. And there a plenty of ways to switch up the order and still be fine. For example, if you see a pack coming, you teleporting in first, casting Slow Time, then teleporting back out, which is all free and leaves you topped off at 120 AP. Then hit diamond skin and you can cast Disintegrate for free and Comet four times over the next 6 seconds. You ought to get some health globes by then. And in multiplayer you would just be covering the ground with Comets and Disintegrate thanks to melee players getting globes. VARIATIONS EXAMINED: The one thing I would like to have in this build is another DoT besides Comet and Storm Armor. However nothing really matched the build as well as the skills I chose here. Here are a few options that failed the litmus test: I thought of trying to get Hydra in there somewhere instead of teleport due its long duration, but I am not sure that the Frost Hydra actually chills or the Arcane Hydra actually synergizes with Temporal Flux. The lack of CC and low damage just doesn't go with a build designed to group enemies, lock them down, exit stage left and turn around and blast them. The ability to quickly exit stage quickly seems more important. If it turns out the hydra can chill or benefit from Temporal Flux, I might change my mind. I also thought of Familiar instead of Teleport, but came to the same conclusion as above for all of its rune options. Knockback spells were ruled out in favour of Diamond Skin because I don't want the enemies to get knocked out of the bubble and I want to be able to safely lure them into a group before casting the bubble. Lastly, I thought of Blizzard instead of Comet or Slow Time. In comparison to Comet, Blizzard is cheaper and its range is larger and it has a long duration, but the disadvantages far outweigh these things. It doesn't pack a good punch and it does not stack. Dividing okay damage over 6 seconds doesn't work for a build that needs to pack one or two or three hard punches on enemies stuck in a bubble. Also, it doesn't look like Blizzard automatically chills either, so the CC is limited to either 20% chance to freeze or a slowing mist that only takes effect after its duration is up. Neither of these is good enough for locking enemies in the bubble or elsewhere on the screen since it doesn't Freeze all the enemies and 6 seconds is too long to wait for chill to set in. Comet and Slow Time are thus better CC options for me, particularly if they stack, and Comet's DoT is of more use in my strategy. CONCLUSION: Thanks for reading all this. Constructive comments and criticism are gladly welcomed.
