Should I throw NotImplementedException() on default: if I have cases for all possible enum types?
If you're looking for a value that must, by definition, correspond to the value of an enumeration, and you've received something else, that's definitely an invalid argument.
But now you have to consider the context.
Is the method private, and only accessible by members of your class library or application? If it is, it's a coding error that shouldn't EVER occur in the first place. Assert and fail.
If, on the other hand, it's a public or protected method, and can be accessed by clients consuming your library, you should definitely throw with a meaningful message (and preferably a well-known exception type).
It's important to remember that enumerations are not range-checked in the Framework. I may specify that a method requires a parameter of type Environment.SpecialFolder; but it will accept any 32-bit integer value.
So, in short, if your method is for public consumption, yes, by all means, throw. If it's not for public consumption, Assert.
It really depends.
Maybe not NotImplementedException, but ArgumentException. It would really depend on where you're using it.
That sounds like a reasonable option.
Personally, I would create a new type of exception (perhaps an
I'd throw
It really depends on your use case. It will be helpful if you throw an exception during the early days of integration. The users of your library can immediately come to know the errors
It really depends on the specific process, but yes, it's good process to respond in the default: case if something wasn't supposed to be there.
If you threw the exception what would happen? In what context is the switch statement being executed? Should that situation ever happen? Should it ever happen at run-time in production code? Do your unit tests cover this situation? If so, perhaps an assert would be better.
You should first consider what it would mean if you got a value outside of the known cases- what does the variable being switched on represent? Then you might simply use an exception type that fits what is actually happening.
I'd say at least you should put a
You should throw an exception in case if the method in no way can proceed. But if you are like converting your enum values to string representations, then you can just return some warning string instead. The product will not crash on users due to an obvious mistake, there will be probably a workaround, and everyone will be happy.

An auxiliary device for climate-control units in motor vehicles. The device is coupled to an air duct leading from the fan of the unit to the floor space in front of the back seat. The device comprises a fan which draws air through the duct and blows it out into the passenger space in front of the back seat.
1. In a motor vehicle, in combination, a climate-control unit including fan means to the exhaust side of which ducts are connected with conduct air both to the space in front of the front seat of the vehicle and to the space between the front seat and the back seat, and an auxiliary device comprising a housing with at least one inlet, which is connected to at least one duct which conducts air from said fan means to the space between the front and back seats, and at least one outlet, said housing containing an electrically driven fan whose suction side faces the inlet of the housing and whose discharge side faces the outlet of the housing, said housing outlet having at least one outlet vent which is arranged to produce an air flow towards the floor of the vehicle, and at least one outlet vent which is arranged to produce an air flow directed towards the back seat, said housing being provided with manually adjustable damper members for regulating the distribution of air between said vents and with manually adjustable means for starting and stopping the fan and for manual adjustment of the r.p.m. of the fan.
2. The combination according to claim 1, characterized in that the housing is affixed to a rear wall of a console arranged between two front seats.
3. The combination according to claim 2, characterized in that the inlet of the housing is connected to an air duct running through the console.
The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for climate-control units in motor vehicles comprising a fan means, to the exhaust side of which fan means ducts are connected which conduct air both to the space in front of the front seat of the vehicle and to the space between the front seat and the back seat.
The problem with climate-control units for motor vehicles, i.e. units for heating and/or cooling air drawn in from the outside, is that it is difficult to achieve the same climatic comfort in the back seat as in the front seat. This is especially true for cooling of incoming outside air. For example, a setting of the unit which provides just the right temperature and maximum comfort in the front seat results in higher temperatures and poorer comfort in the back seat. This is a result of the fact that the fan means of the unit requires ducts to the back seat which have relatively large flow cross-sections so that the resistance to flow will not be too great, resulting in too small a supply of air to the back seat. Large ducts and low flow velocity result, however, in substantial heating of the cold air (or, conversely, cooling of the heated air). One method of solving this problem is to provide the unit with a fan means with very high capacity so as to permit reduction of the flow cross-sectional area and increasing the air-flow rate. This results, however, in increased costs and creates problems for installation because of the greater space requirements.
The purpose of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned disadvantages and achieve an auxiliary device which makes it possible to increase the climate comfort in the back seat.
This is achieved according to the invention by means of an auxiliary device which has a housing with at least one inlet, which is arranged to be connected to at least one duct which conducts air from the fan means of the unit to the space between the front and back seats, and at least one outlet, said housing containing an electrically driven fan whose suction side faces the inlet of the housing and whose discharge side faces the outlet of the housing.
The auxiliary device according to the invention provides an increased amount of air to the back seat at reasonable cost. The air can be conducted at high speed in narrow ducts, resulting in reduced cold-loss (or heat-loss). The device can be provided with manual controls so that the back seat passengers can themselves adjust the amount and the distribution of the air. An essential advantage of an auxialiary device is that it can be designed in such a way that it can be installed as an extra accessory in existing vehicles. Another advantage is that in vehicles, which are made in both simple and more exclusive versions, the fan means of the standard unit need not be overdimensioned in the simple version. Instead, all the versions are provided with the same type of standard unit and only the more exclusive versions are provided with an auxiliary device.
The invention will be described below in more detail with reference to an example shown in the attached drawings, in which
FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of an auxiliary device in a passenger car,
FIG. 2 a frontal view of the auxiliary device, and
FIG. 3 a cut-away side view of the device in FIG. 2.
The car shown in FIG. 1 has in the front, under the instrument panel, a climate control unit U known per se and not shown in more detail here, which can be a unit solely for heating air drawn in from the outside or a device for alternatively heating or cooling. an air duct 1 extends from the exhaust side of the fan means F thereof between the front seats 2 to the floor space in fron of the back seat 3. The duct 1 runs in a console 4 between the seats 2 and has a manually adjustable damper 5, by means of which the amount of air through the duct 1 can be regulated.
At the rear wall of the console 4, an auxiliary device 6 according to the invention is mounted. The device 6 comprises a housing 7 with an inlet opening 8 into which the duct 1 opens. Inside the housing 7 there is a fan 9 whose suction side faces the opening 8. The fan can be of a type known per se and is therefore only shown schematically. The air sucked in by the fan 9 is blown out through two obliquely upwardly directed vents 10 which form an obtuse angle with each other, and two downwardly directed vents 11 on either side of the drive shaft tunnel 12 of the car. With the aid of a wheel 13 the flow-through area of a damper 14 in each vent 10 can be regulated to set the desired amount of upwardly directed air. In a corresponding manner, the desired amount of downwardly directed air can be set by means of wheels 15 which control dampers 16 in ducts to the vents 11. In this way, the back seat passagers can themselves achieve the desired distribution of upwardly and downwardly directed air for the greatest comfort. The total amount of air can be varied by varying the r.p.m. of the fan, which can be accomplished with the aid of a rheostat 18 which is coupled to the fan motor and which has an adjusting knob 17 and incorporates an off/on switch. The housing can also contain an additional damper (not shown), by means of which the air supply to the lower vents 11 can be cut off completely. This damper can, for example, be coupled to the knob 17 in such a manner that it opens and closes with a limited axial movement of the knob 17.
The device 6 described can be modified in several different ways within the scope of the invention for adaptation to various type of vehicles and climate-control installations. For example, it can be provided with two inlets for connection to air ducts under each front seat.

Yellow leaves on right 1/2 of the leaf??
habjolokiaFebruary 26, 2013
I find this interesting. In the pic the plant on the bottom right in the green square pot 1/2 of the leaf is yellow while 1/2 of the same leaf is green. Not sure if you can see but the new leaves coming out the one on the right is yellow and the one on the left is green?
Did I over water 1/2 the plant? lol
Though I did separate the white pots that had two seedlings and repotted into the green pots. Could be a transplant shock symptom? But none of the other transplants show any signs of stress.
Should I let it be or when the soil dries up some hit it with light fertilizer?

It's also the name of a new magazine about football, out this week, featuring a lengthy interview with Arsenal and England full back Kieran Gibbs as well as under 21 England star Eric Dier, Everton woman's star Toni Duggan, Millwall FC Chairman John Berylson and photo reports from several matches.

magRush 17: Works That Work
Most design magazines are about design as a very closed specific endeavour. Works that Work not only seeks to break this world open, relating design to everyday experience and placing it in the real world, it has sets out to redesign the magazine business model. From its crowd-sourced start to its experiments with international distribution, editor/publisher has sought to change the ways magazines work. This applies to the editorial content too; his editor}s letter skillfully links seemingly disparate stories into one chain of events. Starting with the toilet system at Schipol Airport, via the Jumbo Jet (originally designed to carry cargo) and on to the standard global container box (below), it's a clever way of linking content.

magRush 16: Butt 2014
First things first: yes, this is not a magazine. But anyone who loved Butt magazine will want to hear about their 2014 calendar, featuring a different image for every day, now that the mag is no more. Wednesday 1 January opens with 'gay geek Rob', who unlike most of the models is fully clothed. My birthday features a couple coupling, while other days star bananas, cucumbers and other subtle symbols. Other days feature interviews or 'Homonumerology' factoids to do with the date. And it's all printed on the familiar Butt pink paper. May 19 stars homosexual cat Tymon (below).
Berlin last week, Amsterdam next week
A huge thank you to Jessica and Mark of the fabulous Do You Read Me? shop for inviting me to launch 'The Modern Magazine' in Berlin last week. They stock one of the best ranges of independent magazines I've seen (why doesn't London have this?), so I picked up a bag full from the shop – that's me above with Jessica (see panorama shot at end of post for a better idea of the amount of titles they hold) – before heading off to their other shop to do the talk.

The Modern Magazine – Boat, Colors, Anorak and Commercial Type
Currently in the process of making issue 6, Davey Spens of the nomadic biannual magazine Boat, makes it clear that running a mobile studio is anything but a holiday. 50% of the stories come from local contributors and the other 50% from writers who come with them on their adventures, so far to Sarajevo, Detroit, London …
'We don't sugar-coat cities', said Spens, but Boat is undoubtedly a celebration of place. 'The people who decided to stay in Detroit had the most fire of anyone we'd ever encountered'. The Sarajevo issue embodied the horrors of war, and the London issue offered an alternative look at Spen's city at the time of the Royal wedding from the top of double-decker buses, rooftops and through the eyes of Olympians.
Each city is left unresolved like the end of an indie film and is treated like a new launch. 'We were never going to be able to retire at 35 … Boat began and remains a passion project'.

The Modern Magazine
The Modern Magazine morning
Simon Esterson, art director of Eye magazine, the quarterly graphic design journal, took the stage to speak about running a 'little independent magazine that keeps chugging along'. International in scope and circulation, Eye's art director spoke modestly about it's contribution to graphic design history and in turn, to publishing. The magazine's story extends beyond twenty years and was, for a time, seen as a 'a strange trinket' in the industry that won awards.
For Eye, making magazines is about conversation, not meetings. It is 'like a critical mass; with enough materials you can see the pattern … We mix papers and bind things in funny ways… and it sort of comes together'. The publication has an authoritative tone and is always beautifully printed and designed, never sacrificing quality. This is a feature of independence, 'The beauty of owning a magazine, is you can just decide to have a gatefold.' Simon showed slides from the Monotype special issue (with a silver page and gatefold) that featured numerous Eric Gill drawings discovered in the Monotype archive.

DEFINITION of 'Stock Loan Rebate'
The amount paid by a stock lender to a borrower who has put up cash collateral to borrow a stock. The stock loan rebate comes from the reinvestment of the cash collateral by the stock lender, and offsets part of the stock loan fee. The amount of the rebate, along with other parameters of the stock loan, is decided beforehand through a Securities Lending Agreement between the lender and borrower. A stock loan rebate is only paid to the stock borrower in the case of cash collateral, otherwise a fee is charged for non-cash collateral such as Treasuries. Stock loan rebates are typically only offered to large clients and are not available for small retail accounts.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Stock Loan Rebate'
For example, assume a hedge fund borrows 1 million shares of a U.S. stock trading at $20, for a total borrowed amount of $20 million. The parameters of the stock loan are as follows –
- Collateral amount is 102%, and is paid by the borrower in cash
- The stock loan is made for a period of 30 days
- The stock loan fee is 3%
- The stock loan rebate is 0.70%
- The reinvestment rate is 1.00%
- Net investment earnings (less the borrower's rebate) are split 60:40 between the borrower and the lender.
- 360-day year is assumed for the purpose of calculation.
In this case, the stock loan rebate for the 30-day period is calculated as –
[($20 million x 102% x 0.70%)] x (30/360) = $11,900
The reinvestment earnings on the collateral are –
[($20 million x 102% x 1.00%)] x (30/360) = $17,000
The net investment earnings are therefore = $17,100 - $11,900 = $5,200
This net amount is split between the borrower and lender as per the terms of the agreement (a 60:40 split) as $3,120 and $2,080 respectively.
Note that the borrower also had to pay a stock loan of 3% annually, which works out to $50,000 for a 30-day period. The net amount (reinvestment earnings on collateral less stock loan rebate) of $3,120 can be used to offset the stock loan fee, so that the overall amount paid by the stock borrower is $46,880.

Lawmakers Fight Over Perceived Christmas Tree Tax
By editor
Christmas tree growers are frustrated that politics are delaying a marketing campaign to promote real trees over artificial. Following four years of work to get it passed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the industry-sponsored real Christmas tree campaign in November. But conservatives quickly branded it as "President Obama's Christmas tree tax" and the program was delayed within days of its approval. There are 18 other commodities — like pork and eggs — with similar generic advertising programs. They show anywhere from a two-to-one to a ten-to-one return on investment.

Who Got Who What
Update: We just learned that Chop Suey Books here in Richmond (in Carytown) is having a sale this Saturday with 10% off all local books (including signed copies of ours). Just wanted to save you some money if you're still in the market for it.
Yup, it's time for the annual gifts-we-got-each-other post. Allow me to do some voice exercises. Mimimimi. Ok. Onnn the first day of Christmassss, my true love gave to meeeee… well, we'll get to that in a moment. In general we like to treat the holidays as an awesome time to spend with friends and family while being grateful for what we have, so it's really not all about gifts at our house (people over things and all that). But our tradition is to make Clara a few handmade items – like her fridge and her latchboard – and then we get each other a few "tokens" of our affection (we usually spend around $100 on each other over a few different items, give or take). But before we get to those, let's recap Clara receiving the play fridge that we made for her.
If you saw our Instagram pics on Christmas morning you already got a taste of how happy the bean was about what Santa brought her. Of all the stuff that we had set out for her that morning (we moved everything into the living room so it'd be near the tree to "open") – the things she loved the most were the play eggs. Which makes sense, since she had specifically asked Santa for "eggs and ice cream." No joke.
And of course, since she was so hilarious last year, we video taped the whole thing.
So here's a little edited-down and subtitled version of how the morning went. It started off a bit rocky when she wondered where her Santa balloon was (the grocery store only had a snowman this year) but things picked up when the eggs were discovered…
After about 20 minutes of play kitchen time, we migrated back over to the Christmas tree to see what else was in store for us. Note: about 70% of those presents were for or from friends/family members since we usually just exchange a few things each.
Clara ripped through a couple of gifts from other family members – stickers, markers, clothes, Legos, and a warm winter hat that she already calls her "pigtails" (thanks to those long braids on the sides).
And Burger got a bag full of his favorite bone treats among a few other tasty delights. He loves them so much he even got out of bed before noon for them. What a guy.
When the "kids" were sufficiently distracted by their bounty, Sherry and I took a moment to exchange ours. Sherry picked up on my recent declaration that I need new t-shirts and gifted me a nice stack of tees from Fab.com (my recent go-to source for them). I love Virginia, mazes, bikes, and NY, so it was pretty cool that they all had some meaning while still just being comfy T-shirts that made me want to hug my wife with gratitude for not buying me a tie.
Sherry's recently been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo (I'm 99% sure she's just messing with me), so (you know, to mess with her back) I got her some temporary ones from Tattly just for fun.
I even threw in a kids' monster pack for Clara to enjoy with us. That ended up being the biggest hit, and within a few minutes we were all sporting matching ink on our arms.
I also got her one of these porcelain cottage lanterns from Ballard Designs that she mentioned in her lady-gift roundup (they're no longer available, but they're similar to these). I got her the big one and my sister and mom got her the other two smaller ones. Could white ceramic buildings be the new white ceramic animal? Sherry cooed over them for a while, and now they live on our mantel so I'd venture to say they were a hit.
Sherry's very good at dropping specific hints (think emails entitled "think Santa knows that I love this?") so I astutely picked up on the notion that she'd love this colorful pillow from House of Pillows on Etsy.
And last but not least, it wouldn't be Christmas without Sherry getting some earrings. So I got her these emerald-colored ones from Kendra Scott (they look a little more teal in this picture than they are in real life). She loves that they're giant and colorful and I love that they look like arrowheads. Everyone wins.
The picture above is actually at my mom and dad's house, where we moseyed over to after our small-family-present-opening activities wrapped up (Christmas pun!) at our place. Over there we had a casual Christmas lunch with my parents, sisters, brother-in-laws, nephews, and even my aunt, uncle, cousins and their kids came down for the day from Northern Virginia. And yes, there was more present opening.
Clara's favorite gift from "second Christmas" were these Make-A-Face stickers from her cousin Elsa.
It actually may be my new favorite present too, because watching the faces Clara puts together is HIGH-larious. Above you can see Sherry helping her with the placement of that first eye, but we soon learned that it's far more fun to let her do it all. So we help her get the stickers off the sticker page, but the placement on the faces is all hers:
But like any Christmas, the best part was the family time that we got to spend through it all. Here's Clara clocking some quality girl time with her cousin Elsa.
And here we are after discovering that we were accidentally dressed somewhat similarly. Minus the fur boots.
And perhaps the most amusing /unusual part of the day was the makeshift indoor playground that my dad set up in his garage to help keep all of the little kids occupied (there were 6 kids under the age five here, mind you) and out of the lunch-maker's way in the house. As weird as it looks, it was a great way to let them burn off some energy (yes that's a slow slide leading to an empty baby pool). So if ever you mistake us for being super classy or remarkably fancy, just remember this was part of our Christmas. And it was totally awesome.
That was pretty much how our Christmas looked. And you already got the drill about Christmas dinner at our house on Monday.
So, how'd your holidays go? What did you give/get? Did any special family events occur (we learned two of our cousins are pregnant!) or were any new traditions started?

My hubs gave me a DSLR–my first one!! http://managingthemanor.blogspot.com/2012/12/dslr-fund-exciting-news.html
AND we got our little guy a mini ATV. Yep, best parents ever ;)
Not finished reading yet, but I love, love Clara's pajamas. I wish that they were for grown-ups!
I think it will be so great one day when Clara realizes the truth about Santa and realizes that you guys actually made the play kitchen and fridge for her.
Alexis – Why would you need grown-up pajamas? From your picture, you're obviously just a kid! :-)
Proud potato Christmas! Love it.
That was my favorite part too! I definitely laughed out loud. Clara is just too cute. You must be proud parents, what an awesome kiddo!
You need to do a post specifically on John's feet. His big toe is so separated from the rest of them. Note the first photo where he's pointing to the refrigerator, and another post where he's standing on the windowsill in your laundry room. It would make for some interesting reading. And then you could end it with him putting on some fur boots :)
My mom has the same "space" between her big toe and second toe and SWEARS it's from wearing flip flops growing up. So, I was never allowed to wear them until I bought my first pair…in college. My family is crazy. And now I wear flip flops in the winter for quick things like getting mail or going to the car. I figure I'm making up for lost time.
I tried not to comment but I just can't help myself! haha Seriously, I wrote a comment cancelled it, closed your blog and yet here I am again.
Have to ask, does John know his big toe has been discussed?
And, for the record, his toe is totally normal…maybe everyone else's toes are off ;)
Oh man! You tricked me – I didn't think you'd be answering comments! Seriously so embarrased…I might have to hide from here for a week or so…
Oh no! I've lived in Florida, wearing flip flops my whole life and never thought anything about my feet. Now I'm having a toe complex after reading these comments!
I don't think it's just flip flops — it's from not wearing constricting shoes. I either didn't wear shoes as a kid or wore ones that were big for me (I still do this as an adult, much to the chagrin of shoe managers everywhere). I also did a lot of dance. Anyway, all my toes are pretty well spaced from this. If you give your toes room to spread out, they'll spread out.
My whole family has toes like this, so I always thought it was normal growing up. It wasn't until college I learned it was not normal.
Oh man, those Clara faces! THE best! I especially like Lady Lemon Cheeks and Not-so-sure Nelly (below Lemon Cheeks). And the video! Thanks so much for sharing this stuff. You guys are cool. Totes!
Clara is too cute. I need to start using "lasturday" – that's just so practical.
(P.S. I'm already planning on giving Marc a play kitchen for Christmas next year and lining up the extended family to give him play food!)
So we already knew you loved to make up band names. It cracked me up to hear you come up with "Christmas Potato" and then introduce the band in the video!
You guys rock! Happy New Year!
Genius idea- I'm stealing that cardboard box, empty pool, slide thing. We have 5 cousins under age 4 plus 2 on the way and family gatherings are a little chaotic to say the least. Thanks for the idea guys! Also- got your book for Christmas, yay me!
looks like you had a wonderful christmas! clara is looking so grown up! such a cutie pie.
random question: that gray chair is from joss & main, right? have you had trouble with the legs on it? i got the same one and the legs keep cracking. /sadface
Haha I love that you immediately thought Potato Christmas could be a band name – especially after that blog post where you told us how you want to name a band!
Am I the only guy to comment here? Holding it down with you John :)
My wife got me a drill press, I was super excited about that. Looking forward to using it on future projects.
Omg that video of Clara is awesome!! Just watched it (twice) with my little guy on day 4 post tonsillectomy. It made his day. Also potato Christmas!
Love the earrings! I also got a similar pair from my parents. So pretty!
Loving the home-made kitchen and those t-shirts! I gave my boyfriend an ornament that we could share, specific to this year we've had — hopefully a tradition that will continue forward :)
"So if ever you mistake us for being super classy or remarkably fancy"
Now that's funny!
Please tell me those face sticker pictures are going to be framed in Clara's big girl room. Those are amazing! I must buy those for presents now.
Love those faces Clara created – very artful.
LASTURDAY! Clara uses the best words!
I didn't realize how elegantly Clara speaks! Reminds me of my daughter. Trying to get my son (he's almost 2) to speak like that. Right now he likes to tell you what sound a poop makes lol
OMG love the make-a-face faces! does clara have stories about each of the people she has created?
Are the stickers re-stickable? Does that even make sense? My son loves stickers, and he likes pealing them off the paper. I looked on Amazon, but didn't see if you could re-use the stickers.
Speaking of t-shirts with the bicycle theme, I gave my husband one that says, "I just want to ride bikes with you": http://productshots2.modcloth.com/productshots/0119/5392/316c0575e56acc9d6eaec92287570384.jpg?1348090208.
Proud Potato Christmas – I can just hear the Small Potatoes from Disney singing that now! So glad you all had such a great Christmas. Watching the kiddos enjoy it is definitely the best part. Clara is so polite and sweet. My 2 1/2 year old uses the word "probably" in pretty much the exact same way.
Nothing for Mistress Peg in the basement? Tsk, tsk.
Thank you for sharing Clara's proud potato Christmas video with us!
You have the most adorable kid honestly ! Love how excited she was about her eggs hahah!

About the Designer
Bobby Berk
About the ManufacturerBobby Berk's rise to bonafide "IT" status in the home design world has more in common with being a rock star than it does a contemporary designer. Originally hailing from Texas, Bobby had big dreams of the big city and moved to New York in 2003 with only a few dollars to his name and no job in sight. After working his way up in retail at Bed Bath & Beyond and Restoration Hardware to Creative Director at Portico Home + Spa, Berk decided that it was time he started his own brand. In 2007, his first store opened in NYC's famous Soho district and has since emerged as a top source for beautiful modern furniture, accessories and décor all curated by the discerning eye and impeccable style of founder Bobby Berk. Berk has taken the world of modern design by storm both online and his retail locations in New York City & Miami and is regularly featured on HGTV & BRAVO. Our Bobby Berk Home Collection is hand-made in America by local craftsmen who are artisans at what they do. You can rest assured that our products are made with the utmost care and that every piece sold supports American small business.

I just gave my profile an overhaul. I'm...
I just gave my profile an overhaul. I'm dumbing it down...again. While I received decent feedback on the previous version, I thought it might make sense to shorten it. It seems pictures and basic criteria mater most, which is understandable. So, here goes: looking for fun, attractive, spontaneous, playful, sociable/outgoing, healthy and physically active. Let's keep it light up front and save the serious sit-downs for once we've gotten to know each other well. Nobody enjoys interviews. That mean grabbing a drink after work, checking out a show, hopping a train for a day trip, going for a bike ride down by the lake, whatever. I'm game. Have questions? I'm an open book. And while I'm a Curious George, I've learned some mystery can be exciting, and leaves something for us to talk about later. As for how to go about this, if you're interested, send me a wink or an email. If I'm interested, I will write back. And vice versa, I'll send you a wink or note if you catch my eye and I feel I meet your specs. If you wish to get the conversation going, let me know. Otherwise, spending 20 minutes writing a drawn-out message to nowhere is probably a bad use of time. It'll be like when you catch someone smiling--- if you smile back, that's a good sign it's safe to approach. Clean and simple, nice and easy. In the meantime, some words that (at least I think…) describe me: confident, deep, adventurous and well-traveled wanderlust sufferer, group-loving social butterfly wrapped an equally quiet homebody, outgoing, athletic, trivia geek and documentary fanatic, clean/organized, recovering metrosexual, casual yet formal, old-school and new-school, compassionate, intellectual, non-apathetic, non-materialist, anti-poser who is not afraid to pose, photo geek, musical memory champion.

Open Letter to Anne Rice
By Dawn Richerson
Not "rated" by the Author.
A few weeks ago, renowned author Anne Rice put out a statement. It was short and to the point, informing the world that "as of today I am no longer a Christian." She went on to affirm her belief in and love for Christ and to list the reasons she was abandoning church and Christianity. Some applauded her move. Others dismissed the statement as wrong-headed and judged her. I could not do neither.
An Open Letter to Anne Rice
My Heart Breaks for You and for the Church
A few weeks ago, renowned author Anne Rice put out a statement. It was short and to the point, informing the world that "as of today I am no longer a Christian." She went on to affirm her belief in and love for Christ and to list the reasons she was abandoning church and Christianity. Some applauded her move. Others dismissed the statement as wrong-headed and judged her. I could not do neither.
I understood her and, as one who came ever so close to such a renunciation of my affiliation with the Christian community, my heart broke for her. I agreed with her assessment of many of the public voices rising from groups claiming to follow Christ. I am apalled by the rhetoric of hate flowing from the mouths of those who share my faith in Christ. I think, however, Ms. Rice was wrong in denouncing the name "Christian" as a way to disassociate herself with those actions that seem utterly unchristlike. Let me share my thinking -- and my story -- here.
Christianity and the church are flawed representations of Christ on Earth, just as we as individual Christians ("little Christs") consistently fail to live fully into the example of Christ. We hurt one another, sometimes out of pig-headed judgment and arrogance and other times unknowingly, by simply missing the larger repercussions of following our heart. We have come from God and will return to God. But while on this planet that is our temporary home, we are spiritual beings who belong to God even as we are walking in a strange world. I have come to believe we are here to see fully and to be God's presence to one another. We are here to serve one another in love. The crux of the matter is that we must learn to do so in a highly imperfect and downright contentious environment.
Where I'm Coming From
Eleven years ago, I was asked to leave, rather abruptly, the congregation that was my community of faith. At the time, it was one of the few things I had left. Divorced and the single mother of a young son, I found myself frightened and alone. Very alone. I had lost a job I considered a calling for reasons not clear to me. Physically and emotionally exhausted, I had spent a week in a hospital, which left me more clear about what was in my heart but just as confused about how to live as ever before. I was in the grips of a severe biochemical imbalance (bipolar disorder) that would go undiagnosed for several more years.
My church sent me a cursory letter demanding that I show up at a specified time and place or leave and never come back. I cancelled an out-of-town trip that could have netted me new work to show up. The "meeting" was damanging in ways I cannot begin to describe and led to a deep division in my soul. In essence, it was a spiritual lynching. I was told to "go and sin no more" without any clear description whatsoever of what supposed sin I had committed. For months and years after, I would see various members of this congregation -- people I had prayed and fellowshipped with -- and they would largely ignore me and refuse to acknowledge me when I spoke to them in love and kindness. It crushed me.
The first time I attempted to return to a church, I spent two days being violently, physically ill. So, for a time, to protect my own energy and sanity, I let it go. God revealed to me that I would be held and kept safe. I held to this promise even though I would experience the terrifying presence of evil in the long desert years to follow.
Through it all, my love for Jesus Christ has not wavered. My faith in God has been shaken through my journey, but it remains the root of who I am today. I could no more separate it from me than I could change my genetic code. I believe it is true that nothing, no-thing and no-body, can separate any of us from the love of God. When we encounter evil or negligence in the body of Christ, we must see it for what it is -- dis-ease or disconnection somewhere in that body. And only love can heal that. While I believe it is sometimes necessary to withdraw for a time from the larger Christian community, I know we are all connected.
What I've Learned
It's this simple: I call myself a Christian because I follow Christ.
In the many years since this traumatic experience, many have asked me how I can possibly associate myself with "Christians." They want to know why I would want to. I can't answer those questions very well. What I can assert with absolute conviction is that I believe in Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life. The way of Christ is gentle and not at all a rigid, regimented, rule-based way that threatens to cut the life right out of us. It is a beuatiful unfolding.
Certain individuals within the church who know my story claim that the people who instigated actions against me long ago are not Christians at all. "They are imposters," they have said of that other congregation. "They are deluded with power." These people claim what happened to me could never, ever happen in their congregation. It was a fluke.
I think it can happen anywhere. Anytime. I think being human leads us to attack that which we don't understand. We are quick to judge and condemn, and we do so in the name of Christian correction, discipline or what we consider best for someone else. Even those of us who would wash our hands of such actions remain tainted by our less than christlike thoughts.
At the Presbyterian church I sometimes attend, we stand together to recite "The Apostle's Creed." There is a line toward the end that affirms belief in the "holy catholic (this means worldwide, not Catholic with the capital "c") church," "the communion of saints," "the forgiveness of sins," and "the life everlasting." I used to just stop talking when we said the line about the church. And my heart would feel as if it was being stabbed repeatedly when the congregation affirmed it's belief in the communion of saints -- my deepest passions and purpose center around this concept and yet I had experienced a cruel ostracization because I exhibited human flaws while coping with the manifestation of a biochemical imbalance and many other life challenges. I think that is what keeps me coming back, or trying to anyway. I return to the fold that marked me and banished me because I know it is where I belong.
Where I'm Going To
What I realized was that my witholding my support for the Church or the church or groups of Christians or the communion of saints, from which I continued to feel hatred at worst and nonchalant indifference at best, was serving no one. I knew that if Jesus were standing here he would not force me to submit myself to repeated injury, but he might nudge me to stand tall in my own skin and to simply be among those who had hurt me and know that I am loved by God and that is all I need. Above all, I came to believe that it was my duty as a follower of Christ to do my best to show up and to be a voice, however small, for resurrection love, for reformation, for forgiveness, for unity.
Honestly, when I first made it back to a pew, many years after my shunning, I would nearly throw up. I would have migraines for days afterward. I had several trained pyschologists and medical professionals, who by the way were Christians, tell me unequivocally to avoid churches altogether and find other ways of expressing my faith. I wanted to. I still want to, and I am only sporadic in my church attendance even today, a decade later. Ultimately, I decided I must be the change I want to see. This is hard. This is so hard it makes me want to cry. Or spit. Or surrender. But I walk on, reaching for something more, believing in redemption.
So Anne, I don't judge you. I actually understand you. I feel compassion for you, and I truly believe you will be held through this time. I am sorry for the people and ideas that have been as an avalanche that seems to completely contradict what Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, came to teach. The mantle of Christianity is yours. You may throw it off, but I have a feeling the One who is the way, the truth and the life will cling to you like a Love you have never known. Even as we walk through this strange place that is not our home.
