Politics and Catholicism – 14
Let us add a little depth to the metaphor.
The human being – and the human race, by expansion – possesses two drives which we in the modern world call "Progressive" and "Reactionary."
Left and Right, or "To subdue the earth" and "To heed the natural order."
Now, the metaphor is that of Cthulhu, swimming. The current pulls everything to the right, toward the natural order, terminating in a sheer fall – certain death. Therefore, Cthulhu swims left, to escape the turbulence and danger of the natural order.
The further he swims left, the less imminent the danger. He might finally relax in the water, even become playful. Yet, dangers still exist, and since he knows everything to the right becomes more threatening, he swims left.
And now the water is much calmer, still pulling but requiring very little effort to resist. Cthulhu might begin to impose his own design on the river, building a place to be seated by the bank or small dams to break the water. He will lose the exercise of those muscles which preserved him in the rapids, in favor of skills that enhance his pleasure and comfort in these less troubled waters.
New dangers await. Stagnant water harbors bacteria. His muscles have atrophied – if he wanders too far down river, he will surely drown. Other creatures compete for food, and even as the apex predator he can be overwhelmed by a mass of them. Moreover, there is an indescribable sense of discomfort, of not quite fitting in one's environment, which the great beast cannot understand. That, quite simply, is that he was made to rule in stronger waters, to challenge himself, to conquer mighty forces.
Proceeding left has always brought him pleasure and comfort – progress – and so he swims further left.
The metaphor can continue, but it will become complicated, even convoluted – if it has not already, for your tastes. Let us look and see something.
There is a sense of melancholy about this metaphor, I think. That is, Cthulhu – the complete body of a human society – is never finally satisfied and safe. And someday he will die, his body carried along, ever more rapidly over the edge.
The human restlessness is such that it will want to challenge the rapids at times, but not for long. Wanting for some activity to challenge his mind and body, imagining even that his survival still depends on it, man swims ever Left, requiring that he impose his will more and more completely on reality.
Somewhere up the river, he thinks, is Utopia. Then he will be happy.
Now, "up" is correct, but the river is two-dimensional. The way out of the river is not upstream, but up, out-of-stream.
If this seems like nonsense, or incredible, or the perfect answer – welcome to religion. Religion is the pull of humanity up out of the river of this world. It is the third dimension, which might elicit these varied responses from two-dimensional creatures. One's subjective response does not render it void.
Indeed, a properly ordered religion must position itself up, out of the river, and from that height throw down a rope. If Cthulhu – a human society – will grab it, he will be saved both from the dangers of the Left and Right. And it must be a strong rope, held up by a mighty arm.

Politics and Catholicism – 13
We come to some paradoxes then.
If leftism is subjugation of the earth – the drive toward civilization, away from natural order – then isn't more leftism equivalent to more civilized institutions and behavior?
If rightism is respect for the natural order, then isn't more rightism a drive toward primitive living, before industry, science, and all the rest?
They seem quite the opposite.
That is, conservatives seem to prefer everything that happened in America from 1776 through the 1950's, give or take a few years. Conservatives love 'murica – liberals aren't accused of that.
They prefer industry, they prefer making the most of all potent energy resources, they prefer capitalism and business, they prefer social traditions (very orderly, structured).
Liberals, for their part, are more closely associated with the back to earth movement, to doing what one feels, to giving the benefit of the doubt where certain practices go against the cultural grain.
They have been marching since the 1960's, starting with the sexual revolution and gradually conquering the media, education, and politics. In many cases, they have undone what existed, rather than build new institutions. (Same-sex marriage is not a new institution – it is the loosening of an old one).
What gives?
If this big idea is correct about leftism and rightism, we have already alluded to the next layer: Whatever leftism established a generation ago, rightism is now defending. Whatever leftism is pushing, no one wished for a generation ago.
There is yet another layer.
In America there is a Christian tradition, one inextricable from its founding. The Christian religion is properly ordered, so that it forms tight institutions, bright lines, and produces many goods on Earth.
For any progress to be made – and we are in the age of the Progressive – these institutions, this Christian grip on the structure of society, must be undone. The work of leftism, in this case, is to erase whatever may be attributed to the natural order, or to God, in favor of what man might do for himself.
It is, indeed, a push to subdue the earth. And men.
Meanwhile, modern rightism looks like a paradox, because it ought to be a drive toward the natural order – but it looks like a drive toward anachronistic technology and social structure, and filthy fossil fuels, and unjust wages.
Think of someone who is not conservative, if you want a true sense of rightism. Think of a reactionary.
Here is someone who quite seriously would reinstitute a monarchy (with all of its quirks and flaws) and restrict the vote, and champion the formation of socio-economic classes because …
That is what happens in the natural order. In nature, the fittest survive. The powerful get what they want first, and the weak receive the crumbs. If anything.
The natural order, you understand, is not about equality. The liberal push for equality is necessarily a synthetic effort, because men are not equal. And men are not equal to women in the natural order. And no beast is equal to a human in the natural order…and so on.
The conservative is only defending what your forebears installed. The reactionary looks at at fixed point further in the past, and identifies that as the true balance in human affairs.*
Christians will no doubt have observed something here: Original sin is a move to the Left. That is, the original disobedience of God was a play for power on the part of humans. Humans wished to subdue reality, and know it. Know it for what purpose?
"…then your eyes will be open, and ye will be as gods."
It is enough to shudder. But!
As punishment, God brought down the natural order on humanity – hard. Women would suffer in childbirth, and man would raise produce only by the sweat of his brow. And all would die.
Natural death is the far end of rightism.
So, it is correct to say that the Old Testament is story upon story of humanity in dissonance with the natural order, and suffering greatly because of it. And God, by grace, and mercy and love, saving them.
The New Testament is widely seen – if not in these terms – as a move to the Left, and all of Christianity is sometimes mocked because of this transition.
But they should not spurn the transition so quickly. By Christ's sacrifice, God gave humanity an escape from the extreme Right, which was NOT the extreme Left. It was neither, and both. Step back and see:
If you were a two dimensional creature, how could we begin to explain the third dimension to you? You would necessarily flatten all of our words and actions, so that you could understand them in your two dimensions. We could not really explain it at all.
And you would be right, and wrong. Mostly wrong.
That's the role of Catholicism. At its best, and its core, it says to all the world – "Yes, but none of this is quite right. Look – you are going to live forever. Forever. Now, how does that change things here on Earth?"
It might make you more of a rightist. And more of a leftist.
But mostly, it would make a resurrectionist, with your eyes cast above you, which neither the left nor the right can comprehend.
* And again, chronology is not critical in and of itself – it is something of a tape measure, to let us know how far left we've come. The Reactionary might also push for things that are in the spirit of a monarchy, but have not ever existed. In that sense, if he is successful, the Reactionary is looking toward the future, through the past. Chronology is not strictly useful.
Politics and Catholicism – 12
If, in the course of human events, we face threats on either side, how are we to avoid them both? How, if one is simply the consequence of existence, and the other is the consequence of striving to go on existing?
The next big idea: Religion is our salvation.
This idea is reflexively rejected by some, particularly in light of hyper-current events. Religious extremism – namely radical Islam – is on the rise, and it is hard to see how massacres in the name of Allah can be associated with the common good.
We are going to have to re-establish our removed perspective. Remember, you are an alien from another planet, or you are from the future. Observe the world as though it does not immediately threaten you, a state of fear which always distorts reality. Rather, view it as an art critic, or an economist.
Now: Even if a religion is false, it can be a net-benefit as long as it is properly ordered. What does this mean?
It means that, after some distance traveled to the left, in the name of buffering society from the natural order – that is, after a population has become civilized – a powerful social force is needed to prevent further drifting to the left.
It is needed because endless drifting to the left is the road to perdition. It eventually leads to destruction not by nature, but by man. It must be avoided just as arduously as destruction by nature.
That is why religion often appears to be a conservative force, because it is restraining the leftist impulse of civilized people. The paradox is that religion itself is a civilizing force on populations that are far to the right, still close to the natural order. In that way, it is also liberal.
One of the complaints today is that Christianity is outdated, regressive; one of the complaints about early Christians is that they cared about the pagan poor more than the pagans did.
That is essentially the same Christianity, appearing on both the right and the left of two given cultures. And this is why I have been fond of saying that Catholicism is neither conservative nor liberal – it is both, in exactly the right places.
So a properly ordered religion is that which will restrain a culture from going too far to the left, or the right, to the point of destruction. There is one other thing, which separates religion from ideology.
That is, that religion admits a realm beyond the natural. Ideology is a funny business, because it ostensibly is focused on this world, and the proper values and order that a society should have…but its promises are always unrealistic. Quite literally.
Religion, on the other hand, does not restrain itself with the natural realm. Religion sees through it, beyond it, to the essence of reality.
Yes, there is a world all around you – but where did it come from? Ideology hardly cares. Mythology barely cares. Religion cares deeply, out of all proportion to the natural or synthetic order.
That is precisely why it is vital to civilization. For a society to be sustainable, it must perceive its object as something bigger and better than mere survival, so that the effort of resisting the left and the right is worthwhile. Don't believe me?
Take away religion, and all quasi-religions. This includes the Carl Sagan brand of scientism.
Do that, and you have nothing but nihilism. You have utter despair, loss of meaning and purpose, on a massive scale. Mere survival is not enough for the nihilist – indeed, they sometimes take their lives as a result of their nihilism.
With religion, society can achieve a kind of balance in tension between the two forces. It can even rotate after a fashion, so that it becomes more leftist in certain ways and more rightist in other ways. It may be that there is no permanent balance – but all that is needed is some balance.*
Further proof – GK Chesterton's saying that unless man believes in God, he will believe anything. The critical point is that man must always believe something, because he cannot possibly know everything. We are always drawing lines of best fit. Even this series skips over a lot of details in order to present a working model…which itself is a map.
And that is enough to tie off that thread. From here, we will consider some of the ways in which Catholicism might participate in modern politics, as compared with the present status and view of religion in politics. Furthermore, I will attempt to offer a few applications of the big ideas in this series, which may be of some use.
**It occurs to me – and surely to the reader – that we could get into some geometrical imaging here. Perhaps a triangle…a trinity!
No, I'm not ready for that. Neither is the world.
Politics and Catholicism – 11
"Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists." – Joseph de Maistre
We come to explore why the series is called Politics..and Catholicism. (Sure, go for a James Lipton voice there).
Earlier I made reference to properly ordered religion. We will admit, for the sake of discussion, that a plurality of religions might qualify as properly ordered, even though they cannot all be 100% true.
We saw last time that the building and development of civilization just is a move to the left of the natural order. It is an attempt by a population of humans to buffer themselves against the unrelenting current of the natural order (such forces as entropy and predation, which is entropy at 4x speed). In so doing, a population can succeed so well that they are capable of swimming beyond stasis, further left, upstream.
This Cthulhu will do, unless there is some compelling reason (or force, or impulse) not to. Some restraint, some dissonance with the population's experience and expectations against reality, perhaps. Or else some overwhelming incentive, worthy of abandoning the promises of swimming further left.*
Before stating the expected thesis…what is so bad about swimming ever to the left, anyway? Didn't we say that way lies Utopia? Even if it is ever receding, doesn't this indicate the desired and everlasting march of human progress?
(Perhaps you see a river in your mind, and a far-off horizon. The Utopia is exactly like the horizon, but it is so haunting and alluring – not almost spiritual, but actually so – that the emptiness of the horizon reflects a world where natural dangers are erased, and life is lived tranquilly, with perfect understanding of everything. Even the present feverish pitch of sexual fixation and exposure is suffocated and vanished, only a means to this godlike end. Yes, I have tasted and seen…)
The problem is two-fold, and unfolds like proofs for the existence of God. On the one hand, you have the historical account – every time we've tried Utopia, it ends in absolute disaster. Look to any revolution and the events that follow. It is easy to point to Stalin's Soviet Union, but consider the "enlightened" French Revolution, when so many rationalists found themselves enraptured in a murderous frenzy.
On the other, it is a practical impossibility, which is why it so often ends in bloodshed. People cannot be depended on to act with perfect virtue, no matter what traits are called virtuous. You can call stealing good, or murder innocent – and people will violate them. In order to silence the signal of human discord and rebellion, those humans must be exiled…or exterminated.
It is not only discord, but it is also the human inability to completely comprehend everything, which is necessary for controlling all variables in an environment (including an artificial one). Ask a film director how difficult it is to make a movie exactly according to his vision – and then he has no control at all over the theater, or your living room.
Such a paradise cannot be achieved on this side of Glory. It is utterly opposed to Glory, moving ever to the left, where men are made into gods, and all the natural order is destroyed, terminating in the abyss.
In other words, that way lies irreversible damnation. Once walk through the gates – leave all hope behind.**
What shall it be, then? The primal, fearsome end of the natural order, which is death? Or the everlasting oppression of one man, or some men, dominating all the others, destroying that which conflicts with their designs?
Enter religion. And you thought they invented "Hell" just to scare you.
*Here we have an understanding why suffering typically provokes a move further to the left – over time a population will inevitably lose members. The reflex – not the reason, mind you – is to swim further away from the danger, not to live in harmony with it. Therefore, a wealthy country experiencing relative peace will come to find smaller and smaller losses as intolerable as the great losses it once suffered. If we have swum this far upstream, the rhetorical question goes, we can surely swim further and provide comfort/security/wealth to even more of our population.
**Yes, Hell is real.
Politics and Catholicism – 10
Bring yourself back to the early days of humanity.
For all of us, even the experts, this is going to be a guess. There is a saying that the least educated person in a historical period is more an expert of his time than the best scholar today. This seems obviously true, and more true the more one thinks about it.
As little as we know about a culture within history, so much less do we know about a culture prior to history. The densest and most surely communicated channel just doesn't exist – that of language.
The first human population had to be focused on survival (what else was there?) and build from there. Build what?
It appears that they built a system of the division of labor – hunters and gatherers – as well as migratory patterns in response to environmental stressors (eg. availability of food and weather patterns). All of these practices are very much aligned with the natural order – as far to the right as humans get, if you will. In fact, taken as pure concepts – which they surely weren't in practice – you have virtually no subjugation of nature happening here. Rather, you have nature leading the dance, and human beings following her lead.
I say they surely weren't pure concepts, because toolmaking in human predecessors dates back a couple million years. This would certainly be an imposition of human design on nature, the first small step in subduing the earth. Such artifacts are the earliest signs of leftism (if you will).
One might persist that innovations like knifes and spears simply brought humans onto a level playing field with their would-be predators. Indeed, other animals also demonstrate rudimentary toolmaking. Moreover, a spear is surely not a gun, which seems to give greater advantages to the human over the animal.
All such debate ends, then, with the dawn of agriculture. Somewhere between 13,000-11,000 BC, we find evidence of cultivation, even seedless figs! Farm animal domestication occurred around the same time, all of which enabled the development of permanent settlements.
This imposition of human design upon plants and animals, I maintain, is a leftist impulse. I am just a guy thinking, of course, you may call it whatever you wish. But I think you will begin to see some phenomena explained the longer you entertain this idea.
Now these are the first great leaps of humanity. Writing developed +/- 10,000 years later, and this enabled the communication across space and the transmission across time of incredible amounts of information. This accelerated learning and innovation, as there was a steady and growing foundation of information to build from.
Skip ahead +/- 3,600 years, and you have the printing press (notice the diminishing time between major advancements). Gutenberg's invention is credited with all manner of advances, including a higher literacy rate, the faster spread of more information, and the wider spread of that information.
The more disparate innovations are shared, the more they accelerate innovation. One mind makes a leap forward; another observes it and has some mental door unlocked for him. He enters the next room and makes another leap forward.
Along the way, and directly related to these innovations, are advancements in science and technology. And these too, according to our earlier big idea, are leftist moves in human activity. Simple knowing – as in science – is arguably neutral, but you see how easily "and technology" follows.
And technology is certainly an imposition of human will on nature. Look around you! Subdue the earth, indeed.
These innovations occur in other areas of human endeavor, as well. We have not plumbed deeply at all, and I will scarcely mention such others – law, politics, economics, culture. They read like the headings of an old newspaper, things which might change over time, which people like to know about.
The sum total of these is what we call civilization. The impulse to impose our will on the existing order is a leftist impulse, while the impulse to accept and preserve the existing order is a rightist impulse. The leftist impulse drives toward utopia, which is always receding in the distance; the rightist impulse drives toward the natural order, which took us tens or hundreds of thousands of years to escape from.
We all know, in our basic instincts, that we prefer civilization, the imposition of human order, upon the natural order. But the natural order just is the ruling order – if you do not resist it, or build against it, you are pulled back into it.
Does any bridge or dam last forever, unattended? Have you ever seen a building which was abandoned 100 – even 20 – years ago? The natural order is always pressing on us, always driving on.
So, Cthulhu is ever watchful of that looming eventuality, and ever swimming left against the current to escape it. That just is what civilization is. As long as Cthulhu – the collective human population – desires this protection from the pure natural order, it must swim left.
But Cthulhu is not intelligent enough, being a great beast acting on drives and impulses, to know when it has swum too far to the left. Without some respect for the natural order – which is all we have, there is no other natural order – without some understanding of it, we do not understand how to order our civilization at all.
Remember, a constant and pure drive in only one direction is the road to destruction. You only have to choose your destroyer – nature to the right, humans to the left.
To avoid this, we need some corresponding power which holds civilization in tension, which honors the rightist impulse and respects the leftist impulse, and appropriately restrains them both. This we call religion.
Politics and Catholicism – 9
Let's take another important point: Everyone is rightist about certain things, and everyone is leftist about other things.*
To thoroughly embrace either rightism or leftism, to the exclusion of the other, is a form of inhumanity. Consider that the very first humans – indeed, one of the key ways we identify a hominid as human – were making tools.
A rock in the natural order is not a knife. But it can be subdued, fashioned for that human purpose. As soon as you start acting on any human design – anything not already found in nature before we arrived – you start acting on the leftist impulse.
This is not a sin. Conservatives, you will not lose your soul by admitting it. Indeed, conservatives are often innovators! …exactly because they are willing to be leftists in certain areas.
The converse is also true. Since Cthulhu – society – is always swimming left, yesterday's liberals will often find themselves today's conservatives. That is because they were fixed on some cultural norm – say civil rights – which was to the left of the mainstream culture. They were part of the push, the swimming to the left, until they accomplished their objectives.
Many of them, having pushed the culture left for their own ends, were surprised when the cultural momentum continued to the left – when sexual orientation and gender identity were added to civil rights – so that they soon found themselves more conservative than liberal.
There is even a name for this – neoconservatives. Nor should they lose heart. The shift does not mean they have gone to the dark side of politics. Rather, they were fixed on some objective good, which had a subjective relation to the culture. It didn't matter whether the culture was to the left or the right of that good – they would have pushed for it either way.
Thus the…relative…futility of defining oneself as liberal or conservative. That ground is always shifting. So we will have a general idea of your positions today – but less idea tomorrow.
The truth is, if you tell me you are a Progressive or a Reactionary, I might have a better idea of your positions – because those are both off the map. They are not subject to the volatility of the present day. We know that they would have the map dramatically altered.
But a real human being will typically find themselves all over the map. Perhaps they have been to some remote corner of the landscape, and they can say with confidence that any modification to the map would be disastrous to travelers there. Or they might say the opposite, that the map needs to be modified, because everyone traveling there is getting killed.
More typically, they have visited a number of places themselves, and discerned where the map ought to be changed (so strict conservatism is false, for them) and where it really cannot be changed (so strict liberalism is false, for them).
Most typical of all, or so is my opinion – few have been anywhere at all. The map has afforded them the luxury of having an opinion without having the experience – the authority gambit. Here you have priests and pundits alike, soothsayers and celebrities, all of those who ply their trade in the immaterial. These types you tend to find more thoroughgoing in their leftism or rightism, seldom switching sides.
Perhaps we will return to them. You may wish to know why I would lump priests in there.
Where we really must go next is to the next important truth. Why civilization itself is the primary reason Cthulhu always swims left, and why an enduring civilization is one that finds itself held in tension – which is why religion will never go away.
*I might as well say everyone is conservative about some things and liberal about other things. But I want to shift into more precise language, because conservative and liberal are positions relative to some center, which could be almost anywhere.
Politics and Catholicism – 8
Last time I was well into my second glass of wine, and I said something that I scarcely believe. My second glass finished, I am now ready to defend it.
Subduing the earth is a liberal impulse. Observing the natural law is a conservative impulse.
Let's be a little more precise: The leftist impulse is characterized by subduing the earth. The rightist impulse is characterized by observing the natural law. Since the words liberal and conservative are more familiar, I'll continue to make some use of them in this post.
If you are hung up on these characterizations at all, it is because of the present day alignment of environmental conservatism with – well, liberalism. Progressivism, even. And the apparent alignment of political conservatism with industry, big business.
Bring out the bugaboo – Global warming is a leftist cause. Denial of global warming is a rightist cause.
Now, let us be painfully clear: I am not attempting to say anything about the reality or unreality of global warming. I do have an opinion, but it does not matter. Global warming is only a litmus test for us.
Really, you can't go on reading if you're going to keep saying to yourself, "Yeah, but it's totally a hoax." or "Yeah, but it's undeniably true."
Quit arguing for one damned second. We're trying to say something important. (Yes, I'm trolling. But now I'm done).
First of all, denial of global warming is not equivalent to a hatred of the environment. It can be based on the failure of predictive models, or indifference to the human plight (because, as you must know, something will survive global warming, even if we don't).
So, the rightist tendency to deny global warming is not explicitly a denial of the natural order. It is skepticism of the claims, and opposition to the proposed solutions. What about those?
The proposed solutions vary widely. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gases, which might be achieved by one of two means: Either by advancing technology toward clean energy, or by taking current energy production off-line. Ideally both.
Notice: The tendency to develop advanced technology is form of subduing the earth. We have subdued coal, and found it undesirable. We will now subdue something else.
Since I have identified subjugation of the earth as a liberal impulse, this solution fits with your current understanding. It is a liberal cause to advance clean energy by subduing more earth. (A LOT more earth, in the case of solar power!) Even people who are typically conservative will often agree with this direction.*
What is the conservative hesitation with clean energy? Well, it changes the status quo, which is really pretty good. (Can I get an amen, or are you reading this via brainwaves?)
Remember – a conservative wants to conserve the order that exists. He sees the value in it. This is why he is doomed to failure. In the meantime, he usually has a good point if anyone will listen to him. If you go introducing novel energy – and worse, if that clean energy has not proved itself out – you are going to trigger his opposition.
You are drawing all over his map, and he's pissed. You'd be pissed, too, if it were your map, and someone was constantly renaming the roads and drawing in details and information that had not been verified.
What about the second general solution, to reduce greenhouse gases by reducing consumption? Isn't this a return to the natural order, by removing synthetic production? Two points.
First, yes. Who is further to the right – the Amish, or any given citizen of New York City? The Amish have conserved their culture, by and large, and they are closer to the natural order. And you would not hesitate to say they were further to the right.
Why aren't the conservatives rallying against fossil fuels, then?
You start to see why conservatives always lose. American Conservatives, you have to understand, have accepted a map further to the left of the Amish. But they have defined this (relatively) more liberal map as THE map, the new foundational order, and thus they wish to preserve it. Meanwhile, liberals have begun to modify THAT map, and Progressives are in the process of creating yet another new map…
Fossil fuels, then, are part of the old liberal map, which became the new conservative map. Then conservatives (up to the present day) attempted to conserve that map – including the liberal modifications – while the liberals moved on, seeking other fuels which might be better than fossil fuels.
The full issue, of course, is far more complex. There are economic implications, self-interested implications. If you want your head to spin, consider whether nuclear energy is a liberal or a conservative cause. (Pun intended)
We have left one thing out, which exaggerates the whole situation, and made my (very reasonable) opening assertion seem ridiculous. What about the back-to-the-earth, primitive living Progressives? Isn't that a return to the natural order, and aren't they very clearly leftists?
Short answer: No, it is not a return at all. It is a utopian vision, which is the end goal of leftism.
Longer answer: Relatively few people actually pull off the return to earth, for one thing.** For another – even if they do labor heavily, and subject themselves to the elements, and endure (or enjoy!) the solitude of nature, and suffer the inconveniences of primitive life – they almost invariably depend on the modern economy at some point. Even the Amish accept US currency.
On the contrary, it turns out that the Progressive desire to return to the earth is something of a synthetic fabrication. It is a romance, a thing not actually based in reality.
Reality is brutally difficult. The vision is not. Thus, the vision is a human invention. If it were attempted, it would rely disproportionately on subduing the earth in visible and invisible ways. All utopias do.
Perhaps you are not upside-down, only a little dizzy. In any event, this is one of the big ideas: That leftism tends toward subduing the earth, and rightism tends toward obeying the natural order. The implications tend to turn some of our assumptions upside-down, but then, that's because we had them backwards in the first place.
*Humans are both, liberal and conservative. When we lock up one way or the other, the trouble starts. But don't get distracted.
**Many return, quite thoroughly, to the earth, never to be heard from again.

Deploying APM in the Enterprise. In the last installment we covered how you find, test, and justify purchasing an APM solution. This blog will focus on what to do after you've made a purchase and started down the path of deploying your coveted APM tool (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem). Just clearing my throat, let's jump right in…
Welcome to Part 4 of my series It's time for a celebration, time to break out the champagne, time to spike the football and do your end zone dance (easy there Michael Jackson, don't hurt yourself). All of the hours you spent turning data into meaningful information, dealing with software vendors, writing requirements, testing solutions, documenting your findings, writing business justifications, and generally bending over backwards to ensure that no objection would stand in your way has culminated in management approving your purchase of APM software. Now the real work begins…
The 7 Ps
A co-worker of mine shared some words of wisdom with me a long time ago which have served me well over the years. It's a little saying called the 7 P's and goes something like this… Piss Poor Planning Promotes Piss Poor Performance. Deploying and using APM software is not a time for spontaneity or just winging it. If you want to make mistakes and derive little value from the investment you just put your reputation behind then by all mean just jump in with little or no planning. If you want to be a rockstar you need a solid plan for deploying, configuring, verifying, operationalizing, using, and evangelizing your APM tool (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem). Just clearing my throat again, I think there's a bug going around ;-P
This blog post is a great general outline for planning your implementation. Everything covered in this post should be part of your planning process and should be considered the bare minimum for APM deployment planning within your organization.
Best Practices
The planning stage is a perfect time to ask your APM vendor for documentation on best practices related to deploying their software. Your vendor (AppDynamics, wink) has seen their software deployed in many situations across many industry verticals. They will have important advice for you on how to make the deployment and operation of their product as successful as possible. Use your vendors depth and breadth of information to your advantage, you're paying them so it's the least they can do.
Controller: The Brain, Narf!
The first major decision will be an easy one. You probably already covered this during the evaluation, vendor selection, and negotiation phases but we will recap here. You need to decide if you will host your own controller or use the vendors SaaS environment. In case you don't already know, a controller is the server component that collects, stores, analyzes, etc… the monitoring data from the agents. Basically the controller is the brains behind the operation. There are many factors that you need to consider when deciding to use a SaaS or On-Premise model and we will not cover them in this post. Your vendor of choice (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem) will help you decide which option is right for your business circumstances.
Easy peasy lemon squeazy! I have just embedded those words in your head for potentially days, weeks or years to come. Sorry about that but it really describes the SaaS option well. You don't have to get a server racked, VM allocated, disk space configured, solve a Rubiks Cube in 3 minutes or less, or whatever other convoluted deployment process your company may have in order to host your own software. All you really need to do is point your agents at the SaaS controller and you are off and running. Your chosen APM vendor (AppDynamics of course) will handle the server sizing, capacity, maintenance, etc… for you. Nice!
So you've decided to host your own controller(s). We have many clients that choose this route for one reason or another and we make every effort to support you just as well as using the SaaS option. In this case we wont be doing all of the work for you so you need to get cracking on your server deployment process. I hope it's super easy and streamlined and you can have a new host set up and ready to load software in an hour or less. In reality it may take you a few weeks or even months so you need to be familiar with the lead time so that you can appropriately plan the rest of the deployment. You NEED a controller so there is no point in deploying agents without one. Use this lead time to generate the most awesome plan ever!
Agents: Deploying and Configuring
Agents need applications to do anything meaningful so it's a requirement that you figure out what applications you want (or will be allowed) to monitor. You most likely had at least one problematic yet important application in mind when you started your search for an APM tool. Create a list of the applications that need monitoring and prioritize that list. I personally prefer creating a top 10 list (you could also call it a "next 10" list) that is an equal mix of application I suspect will be difficult to instrument as well as applications I think will be really easy. I do this because you usually don't work at deploying agents to application components in a serial manner. It's typically a parallel process where you can jump from one deployment to the next while you are waiting for approvals, personnel, or anything else that gets in your way of doing actual work.
Deploying APM agents should be easy. Add a very small amount of software to the server you want to monitor, reference the agent software in your application configuration and restart your application. It's basically that easy to deploy an agent. It should also be really easy to configure. In fact, the agent should automatically detect what it needs to monitor and simply just work. This is how AppDynamics works but the same does not hold true for most other APM vendors. Hopefully you saw this when you ran each vendor solution through your POC environment. In the interest of full disclosure I will admit that there are circumstances where NO APM solution can automatically detect your application properly and there is more configuration work to do. This is a problem that every APM vendor has to deal with but thankfully AppDynamics sees this condition with only a very small subset of its customer base. Usually you plug in our agent and we show you what you need to see. It just works!
Awesome, now that we just saved you 80% of the configuration time versus deploying "the other guys" what's next?
After you deploy agents (whether it be straight to production or advancing though pre-production environments) and you have used the monitored application a bit, you want to look at the user interface to see if the information contained within looks correct.
- Look at your application flow map to see if you are missing any application components.
- Check the business transactions to see if the expected transactions are there and reporting metrics.
- Do you have end user experience metrics showing up?
- Do you have transaction snapshots showing your custom code executing in the run time?
- Send out test alerts to see if they make it to their destination. (Alerting is important so we will cover it in another blog post)
If things don't look right you need to figure out why. It might be that your application really is different than you thought (we see this quite often), or it could be a problem with the monitoring. Resolve any issues you see before declaring deployment and configuration victory.
Production Load Cannot Be Simulated Exactly!!!
To realize the most value from your APM purchase you MUST run it in production. No matter how good your Quality Engineering team is they cannot code all of the crazy things your users will try to do in production. It can also be very difficult to duplicate your application environment in production. Example, you have 5000 JVMs spread across multiple cloud provider data centers. Replicating that environment would be time consuming and really expensive.
Beyond the technology aspects of running in production you also need to consider your existing processes. Your shiny new APM tool will provide incredible insight into application issues as long as you have it integrated into your processes. Here are some points to consider:
- Are alerts configured so that they are routed to the proper people?
- Does the operations center know about the new alerts that will be coming from your new APM product?
- Is there a process that application owners can follow to request monitoring by your new tool?
- Is there a process to smoothly and efficiently on-board a new application?
- Is the APM tool integrated with other corporate systems? (LDAP, Events Aggregations, Business Intelligence, etc…)
What I am trying to say is; Give your company every opportunity to use the hell out of your new tool!
Teach Them Well
Educate and evangelize, this will pay dividends ten fold.
Create a short training curriculum for anyone who will need to work with your APM tool. You should have training material for basic usage, advanced concepts (memory leaks, policies, dashboard creation, etc…), and operations (alerts/events) training. You need to make sure the people who will touch the product or consume the data have the information they need to be successful. Their success drives your success.
Tell everyone you can about the success you are having with your new tool. Don't be annoying to the point where people run the other way when they see you coming but make sure they know what you are working on and how much of an impact it is having on the business.
For every problem you solve with your new APM tool take 30 minutes to put together a 3–5 slide presentation. Include the following information on each presentation you create:
- Problem Description: Describe the application, problem, and impact level.
- Resolution: Describe the resolution steps and root cause. Use screenshots from your APM tool.
- Business Impact: Describe how long it took to resolve the issue, how long it normally takes without APM, and quantify the impact to the business of this outage for both scenarios (with and without APM).
These short presentations will equip you with the information you need to defend your decision to purchase APM, justify a larger investment, and propel yourself to rockstar status within your organization.
There is a lot of work that needs to be done to successfully deploy, configure and use an APM tool in the enterprise but the potential rewards are staggering. Think about how much lost revenue can be avoided by ensuring your revenue generating applications don't go down at peak times. People notice when the decisions you make and the work you do directly impact the bottom line. Put in the effort and get noticed!

School Library Journal - School Library JournalPreS-Gr 2-Mr. Worst, a disagreeable old gent, lives in a run-down house with only his dog, Daisy, for company. One day he is notified that his great-nephew Warren will be delivered for a weekend visit. When Warren, a bratty kid, is dropped off with his large dog, Arnold, nephew and uncle take an immediate dislike to one another. The boy brings in neighborhood children who party and destroy things while Uncle Worst hides in the attic and Daisy flees. Later, Warren begrudgingly cleans up while the man looks for his pet. Finally, the boy offers Arnold's searching abilities, and he quickly finds her. Warren is amazed to see some emotion out of his uncle, and the two affect a truce by the time his parents return. The war between these two Worsts is predictable and almost petty, but the involvement of the canines adds a touch of redemption to the story. The cartoon drawings are humorous, and while this twisted adventure might not attract new readers to Stevenson's books, fans will certainly enjoy it.-Nancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NY

Editorial Reviews
Stephanie ZvirinHas the worst person in the world finally met his match? Fans of Stevenson's endearing curmudgeon and his timid dog, Daisy, get a chance to find out in the latest peek at life with a grouch. As usual, much of the delightful comedy comes from the freewheeling illustrations. The pen-and-ink sketches tinted with watercolor show the chaos when the Worst's obstreperous grand-nephew Warren and his huge dog, Arnold, come to stay. It takes only a moment for bratty Warren to gain the upper hand, his antics eventually driving the Worst up to the attic for a little peace and quiet. But when the Worst emerges, he can't find Daisy, and that's when we're reminded that the Worst is one crabby grouch who doesn't really have a heart of stone. Ill-behaved Warren we love to hate; grumpy Worst we love to love.

Movie Times for Seattle
Mutants continue their struggle against a society that fears and distrusts them. Their cause becomes even more desperate following an incredible attack by an undetermined assailant possessing extraordinary abilities. The shocking attack renews the political and public outcry for both a Mutant Registration Act, and an anti-mutant movement, now led by William Stryker. A vocal, wealthy, former commander for the Army, Stryker, is rumored to have experimented on mutants. Stryker's dubious mutant "work" is somehow tied to Logan's/Wolverine's mysterious and forgotten past. As Logan/Wolverine searches for clues to his origin, Stryker puts into motion his anti-mutant program--launching a severe attack on Professor Xavier's mansion. Magneto, newly escaped from his plastic prison, proposes a partnership with Professor Xavier and the X-Men to combat their common and formidable enemy: Stryker. With the fates of Xavier, mankind, and mutantkind, in their hands, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission yet.
X2 (Movie)
Bryan Singer, who also directed the first adaptation of the great Marvel comic book X-Men, once again respects the earnest emotion of his source material, which raises adolescent disaffection to an apocalyptic scale. This time the mutants are threatened by a human scientist (Brian Cox) who wants, for complex psychological reasons, to wipe them off the face of the earth. As they try to stop him, the X-Men explore their own emotions and relationships, and it is their hurt feelings and identity crises that give the movie some dramatic heft to accompany the expected explosions, high-flying fistfights and not-quite-sublime special effects. — A. O. Scott

"I am excited about having Bruce Warwick join our team," Fulmer said. "He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position. His experience as a college administrator along with his experience at the professional level should serve us all very well."
Warwick replaces Gerry Dickey, who left the Vols last month to take the position of regional accounts manager with Action Sports Media in Oklahoma City.
During six seasons with the Packers, Warwick directed the team's daily football operations. He oversaw staff in the areas of strength, video, training room, equipment and player programs, as well as managing the annual training camp and mini-camps.
Warwick also was responsible for all coaching and personnel staff contracts, new hires and the minority internship program, while serving as a liaison to the NFL office and NFL officials.
Before joining the Packers in March 2000, he served briefly as Director of Football Administration for NFL Europe.
In one year at Duke, Warwick became heavily involved with Duke?s recruiting efforts while serving as the program's liaison for academic support, community relations, ACC officials, computer technology and the Iron Dukes, a fund-raising arm of the athletics department.
"It is an honor and a privilege to be at a program with the status of Tennessee and competing in a premier football conference like the SEC," Warwick said.
A Baldwinsville, N.Y., native, Warwick began his football administrative duties as Assistant Recruiting Coordinator at Syracuse. He followed that with two seasons as Assistant to the AD for Football Operations at Maryland before serving two years as Assistant AD for Football Management at Clemson. Warwick returned to Syracuse in February 1996 for a four-year stint as Director of Football Operations.
Warwick graduated in 1989 with a business administration degree from Columbia College in Syracuse. He earned a master?s in sport management in 1993 from the U.S. Sports Academy in Daphne, Ala.
Married to the former Debra Zampini of Liverpool, N.Y., Warwick this month welcomed his third son to the family with the March 2 birth of Jacob. The Warwicks also are the parents of Alexander, who turns 5 on the day of the EdAmerica Orange and White Game, and Joseph, who turns 3 just a few days before that.

Government Employment and Pay: Some International Comparisonsby Peter S. Heller Alan A. Tait
How many people are employed by the government? How many are employed by the central government compared with the state and local authorities? How many are employed in public enterprise? How much are they all paid? How much are they paid relative to each other, or relative to the private sector? Such questions interest people in general and economists and policymakers in particular;yet it is remarkable how little information is readily accessible on thes topics.
International Comparisons of Government Expenditureby Peter S. Heller Alan A. Tait
Many studies on International tax compaisons have been undertaken since the early 1970s. While controversial, such studies have facilitated more subtle comparisons of a country's tax performance than would be afforded by focusing on its simple tax ratio.
Value Added Taxby Alan A. Tait
More than 50 countries worldwide employ a value-added tax. What are its effects on prices, exports, and investment? Is it regressive? These and other questions are answered in this collection of papers presented at a March 1990 Jakarta seminar on the VAT in Asia.

A haulage business had a reasonable excuse for paying its tax late after its invoice finance provider changed ownership and restricted finance, a tribunal has ruled.
In a ruling that could be good news for struggling companies that use invoice finance companies, the first-tier tribunal ruled in Cuco v HMRC [2013] UKFTT 121 (TC) that the business had a reasonable excuse for its late payments of PAYE and NI contributions.
The unnamed business argued...

Signs are increasingly indicating that if the NBA follows through on its plan to sell advertising on its uniforms for the 2013-14 season, it will not be starting a sports-wide trend. On the contrary, it appears that the NBA may be isolating itself on the controversial subject of uniform advertising.
That's the situation that emerged late Friday afternoon in Detroit, where NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the NFL is not considering uniform advertising. Goodell's statement came two weeks after MLB commissioner Bud Selig had indicated that ads will not be appearing on MLB uniforms.
Goodell's and Selig's statements create greater perception problems for the NBA as it considers whether to implement its uniform advertising plan. It had widely been expected that the NFL, MLB, and NHL would start taking at least tentative steps toward their own uniform advertising programs once the NBA plan was unveiled. But with Goodell and Selig both coming out against uni ads, the NBA may look more like a junior-level league -- both visually and financially -- if it goes ahead with the plan while its two biggest rivals keep their uniforms advertising-free. (NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has not yet spoken publicly about the league's stance on uniform advertising.)
The NBA announced its plan to sell advertising space on July 19. Fan reaction has been sharply negative, with many fans expressing their displeasure on Twitter with the #NoUniAds hashtag. The plan is not yet finalized, although the owners are expected to vote on the proposal in September.

The University of Louisville football team needed a spark in the first quarter against Temple on Saturday, trailing 14-7 on a cold, rainy afternoon.
And Ryan Hubbell delivered.
Offensive coordinator Shawn Watson called a play the Cardinals had been working on all week and sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater hit Hubbell down the middle of the field.
The junior tight end did the rest, outrunning the Temple secondary for a 72-yard touchdown catch to tie the game at 14. The Cardinals went on to score a 45-17 victory over the Owls and remain undefeated at 9-0.
"We knew it was going to be there," Hubbell said. "The play worked like we thought it would and I ended up being wide open.
"I think it (changed the momentum) and from then on we didn't go down."
U of L coach Charlie Strong said the staff felt like that was a play they could use against the Owls. Hubbell finished with two catches for 92 yards.
"We knew it would be there because they are two deep and we knew if we stretched the field to the outside, the safeties would come up the hash and the tight end down the middle would be wide open," Strong said. "Hub catches it, and just to see him run away - I thought he was going to get caught and he kept looking around, but I saw a guy and said, "Score!" We were down 14-7 and that got the game tied back up. It was a big play for us."
U of L and Temple were tied at 17 but the Cardinals never trailed again after the Hubbell catch and run put them ahead.
But Hubbell sure did catch some grief from his teammates.
He said some of them were teasing him about his speed, especially after WHAS-840 radios Paul Rogers call saying "We didn't know he had that kind of speed," was played over the loud speaker later in the game.
"Some of (his teammates) were giving me some crap about looking slow," Hubbell said. "But that's OK. It's always nice when you can look back on something like that and laugh. It was good."
Hubbell said he knew he was that fast, "Oh, yes," and several of his teammates said they figured he was going to make it into the end zone.
"I had no doubt in him," running back Jeremy Wright said. "I felt if he was going to catch that ball, he knew what he had to do to help us win."
Hubbell did that, making the play that changed the game.
"I looked back a couple times, probably more then I should have, but I made it in so it all worked out," Hubbell said.

Enjoyed this version of The Nutcracker. Costuming, sets, and music were lovely. The story evolved nicely. The choreography and dancing were excellent. Both the seasoned professionals and the students did a wonderful job.

All these polls asked either "Do you agree that Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians?" or, alternatively, "Do you agree Israel behaves toward the Palestinians like the Nazis do?"
Of course, believing in God doesn't make one Jewish. Many people identify themselves as Jews for a host of reasons other than believing in the God of Israel, and they are just as Jewish as the most pious Jew. Being Jewish is a birthright, not a belief right. According to halacha, anyone born of a Jewish mother is Jewish. Period.
"They wanted ransom. They dropped him off in international waters in the Pacific, and now he is in an undisclosed location. But still a lot is unclear, and I'm still waiting to talk to my father."
We live in a world where a people returning to it's ancestral home is accused of occupation, and redemption has become colonialism.
I have heard many Rabbis tell me that they don't wish to dirty their hands by getting involved in political matters.
Does anyone think the Palestinian Authority will resist daily attacks from Hamas and Fatah radicals?

B/E Aerospace Announces $200 M New-Buy and Retrofit Coach Class AwardsWellington, Fla. - B/E Aerospace (Nasdaq:BEAV), the world's leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and the world's leading distributor of aerospace fasteners and consumables, today announced that its main cabin seating platforms have been selected by a number of the world's leading airlines for their narrow-body aircraft. The awards, all of which have been won over the last several months are for seating for both new-buy aircraft and retrofit seating for existing aircraft. The awards are initially valued at approximately $200 million.
These coach class seating awards were driven primarily by the B/E Aerospace new patented Pinnacle(TM) main cabin seating platform, the industry's lightest full-featured seat. Since its launch in late 2009, the Pinnacle(TM) seating platform has captured awards to equip more than 1,000 new or existing aircraft. These awards, initially valued in excess of $400 million, are for both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. A number of the new-buy awards that were announced today, resulted in the airlines contemporaneously awarding new coach class seating orders for their existing aircraft.

B/E Aerospace main cabin seating platforms offer exceptional living space while providing value with low cost of ownership, weight savings, and exceptional reliability," commented Amin J. Khoury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of B/E Aerospace. "Importantly, as evidenced by these awards, airlines' new-buy aircraft decisions are driving contemporaneous decisions to retrofit the coach class cabins of their existing aircraft fleets. We expect this trend to continue as the airframe manufacturers continue to increase their delivery rates for both narrow and wide-body aircraft over the next several years."

The DC-10-40 from HNL to LAX had an hour delay because of the navigational system went down, so they had to figure out what was wrong, and re-boot it. The DC-9-50 was nice. I've been on a DC-9-30 before and hated it. It was so loud and dirty. But this one looked like they just put in new panels on the inside of it, and was pretty quiet. I got pics of the inside, and will put it on here when I get them back. And the Aloha 737 (N804AL) was really bad. The windows were really dirty, scratched up, and some had like a greasy surface on them. Some of the blue "leather" seats we're dirty. Maybe it was real leather, I'm not sure. It was a bumpy 20 min flight, although it was pretty clear out. Well if you want to know anything else, post it, or email me.
