Critique of Martin Chemnitz' Examination of Trent: Bible, Tradition, and the Church Fathers, Part II (Various Fathers and Arguments)
His reply is entitled, My reply to RC apologist Dave Armstrong, regarding his examination of Martin Chemnitz's Examination. In the Introduction, he stated that I "will be answering it line-by-line on his blog." That was predicated upon his being willing to critique my papers line-by-line. But he has only selectively replied:
Therefore, I trust that I may be excused if I don't reply to absolutely every jot and tittle. I will still likely respond to virtually all of his paper, though, because that is my usual method. I don't think that his reply is truly a response to these five papers (technically speaking). It is a more wide-ranging and general critique of Catholic distinctives, and defense of the Lutheran worldview. My title reflects this.
I appreciate Nathan's kind words at the beginning of his reply. I, too, have enjoyed our interactions a lot, and have respect for his work and his demeanor. It's a true pleasure to take part in a non-acrimonious dialogue, in good faith, with two parties confident and secure in their positions (which generally means there is no need for desperate, evasive personal attacks; charges of lying, etc.). Such a phenomenon seems to be as rare as a square circle anymore online.
We Catholics agree, since for us, apostolic tradition and Scripture must always be in harmony. The former can never contradict the latter. Note how St. Jerome specifically mentions "apostolic" tradition, over against false traditions of men ("of their own accord . . . invent and think up"). All he's saying here is that non-apostolic traditions contradict Scripture. He is not denying that apostolic tradition is also authoritative and a norm of faith. Thus it is no evidence whatsoever of a sola Scriptura position (as Chemnitz probably intended it to be).
The same St. Jerome also wrote:
I will tell you my opinion briefly and without reserve. We ought to remain in that Church which was founded by the Apostles and continues to this day. If ever you hear of any that are called Christians taking their name not from the Lord Jesus Christ, but from some other, for instance, Marcionites, Valentinians, Men of the mountain or the plain, you may be sure that you have there not the Church of Christ, but the synagogue of Antichrist. For the fact that they took their rise after the foundation of the Church is proof that they are those whose coming the Apostle foretold. And let them not flatter themselves if they think they have Scripture authority for their assertions, since the devil himself quoted Scripture, and the essence of the Scriptures is not the letter, but the meaning. Otherwise, if we follow the letter, we too can concoct a new dogma and assert that such persons as wear shoes and have two coats must not be received into the Church.
Of course they are in agreement with the Bible. That is the Catholic position of the three-legged stool: Bible-Tradition-Church: all harmonious: all of a piece. Few fathers talked more about the sublime authority of apostolic succession and apostolic tradition than St. Irenaeus. He was no advocate of sola Scriptura. I maintain that it is special pleading to contend that any major Church father was such. I've never seen any evidence of it. For much more on St. Irenaeus' view of authority and the rule of faith, see two papers from an Orthodox writer, Robert Arakaki:
Irenaeus of Lyons: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Response to Robin Phillips "Questions About St. Irenaeus and Apostolic Succession"
Also, section X of my own paper (Part II):
Reply to Jason Engwer's Catholic But Not Roman Catholic Series on the Church Fathers: Sola Scriptura (An In-Depth Analysis of Ten Church Fathers' Views Pertaining to the Rule of Faith) (vs. Jason Engwer)
Many patristic passages where Scripture is extolled are falsely interpreted as proclaiming sola Scriptura (whole books have been put together on these lines), but it is not the case. To have a high view of Scripture is not the equivalent of making the Bible the sole infallible rule of faith.
Amen! This expresses the material sufficiency of Scripture, that I and most Catholics hold. We deny, on the other hand, the formal sufficiency of Scripture, which is sola Scriptura as the rule of faith. This was a 16th-century novel innovation that cannot be traced back to the fathers or apostles or the Bible itself.
Then it shall be very easy going!!! Just teasing . . .
Likewise. I look at dialogue as an opportunity for both parties to learn and grow, and follow truth wherever it leads. To me, that is the excitement and utility of it. It's not a means to belittle and put down the other person,with a goal to "win at all costs" (including the cost of forsaking truth). So we are on the same page in this respect. I believe that truth has an inherent power, and that those who sincerely seek it will indeed find it, by the enabling of God's grace.
Amen again! And this immediately brings us to a discussion of what corporate interpretation means. Lutherans go back to the authority of their confessions in the Book of Concord. But I say that they, in turn, have to be in line with apostolic (and Catholic) tradition, going all the way back, and that in fact they are not in accord with that, where they differ from Catholic teachings and doctrines. Lutherans have enough respect for the fathers to be concerned that their teachings are supported by them. I have not found this alleged patristic support to be the case, however, in my many debates with Lutherans about patristic views.
The concept of a contemporaneous existence of the Word of God in a corrupted verbal form, and a pure written form, spawned Chemnitz's explanation of traditiones in the second locus, De traditionibus. Here he lists the first of eight different types of traditiones as Scripture itself, i.e. the things that Christ and the Apostles preached orally and were later written down. Then follows: 2) the faithful transmission of the Scriptures; 3) the oral tradition of the Apostles (which by its very nature must agree with the contents of the New Testament canon); 4) the proper interpretation of the Scriptures received from the Apostles and "Apostolic men"; 5) dogmas that are not set forth in so many words in Scripture but are clearly apparent from a sampling of texts; 6) the consensus of true and pure antiquity; 7) rites and customs that are edifying and believed to be Apostolic, but cannot be proved from Scripture. Chemnitz rejects only the eighth kind of tradition: [8] traditions pertaining to faith and morals that cannot be proved with any testimony of Scripture; but which the Council of Trent commanded to be accepted and venerated with the same reverence and devotion as the Scripture. The important element of this last of the traditiones appears not to be the fact that such traditions of faith and morals not provable from Scripture actually existed, but that their status of equality with Scripture was foisted upon the church by the Council of Trent." P. Strawn, Cyril of Alexandria as a Source for Martin Chemnitz, in Die Patristik in der Bibelexegese des 16. Jahrhunderts, Wolfenbu"ttleler Forschungen, Bd. 85, Hrsg. v. David C. Steinmetz, Wiesbaden 1999, p. 213-14.
This hinges on what is meant by "proved" from Scripture, and the criterion of "clearly demonstrable." Those things are subjective, and reasonable men can disagree. The nature and scope of "proof" cannot simply be some tradition of men, itself unattached to biblical criteria. It seems to me that it has to be in harmony with biblical thought. Likewise, clarity or perspicuity is often arguable, concerning particular doctrines and how "proved" they are. I've written two books critiquing sola Scriptura (the latest one to be published by Catholic Answers next year). I haven't seen any biblical proof at all of that doctrine. And I have seen much scriptural disproof of it and also an important component of it: perspicuity of Scripture. As I argued in my Reply to Dr. Gene Veith on Catholic Mariology:
We contend that all Catholic doctrines (including even the dreaded Marian ones) are present in Scripture, explicitly, implicitly, or clearly able to be deduced from either sort of evidence (material sufficiency).
There are different levels of such evidence. The Virgin Birth has but a few support passages. Original sin also has only a few. Yet both are firmly believed by Christians of all stripes. Original sin isn't even mentioned in the Nicene Creed, and Cardinal Newman noted that there was far more support for purgatory in the fathers than for original sin.
Other things have to be (mostly or largely) deduced. Under this category would come things like the Two Natures of Christ. It's in Scripture, assuredly, but has to be "teased" out of it by an examination of many passages together. Even the Holy Trinity is mostly of that nature. I have papers giving many hundreds of biblical proofs for the Trinity, but they are not always evident at first glance. As a result, Christology developed in the early Church for about 600 years: . . .
Other things are totally absent in Scripture, yet believed by Protestants, who claim to be "Scripture Alone" (as infallible authority). The canon of the Bible is the best and most undeniable example of that. Protestants are forced to accept a "fallible list of infallible books" — as R. C. Sproul has candidly admitted. And they have to rely on the (Catholic) Church authority that proclaimed the canon (minus the deuterocanon). Sola Scriptura is another. It's found nowhere in Scripture.
. . . Nowhere does it say in Holy Scripture that the Bible only is the infallible guide and rule of faith, to the exclusion of an infallible Church or infallible apostolic tradition (which is precisely what the Protestant contention is). And the Bible contradicts it all over the place. But that doesn't stop Protestants from believing it and basing their entire system of authority and method of theology on it: castles made of sand, like the old Jimi Hendrix song . . .
Denominations are nowhere found in the New Testament, which everywhere refers to one Church with one solid set of beliefs, that are non-negotiable. This is beyond all dispute. Many Protestant thinkers readily concede this, and lament it. Yet all Protestants live with the tension of the very existence of denominations being dead-set against what the Bible teaches about ecclesiastical authority and belief-systems of theological truth. . . .
Now, all that was my roundabout way of addressing the criticism that our Marian doctrines are supposedly not "in" the Bible. They certainly are: just not (usually) explicitly, or sometimes (as in the Assumption) not implicitly, either, and able only to be deduced from other things. But this shouldn't pose any problem for the Protestant (unless we adopt double standards) because, as I've shown, they believe many things that are only infrequently indicated in the Bible or not at all. Neither the canon issue nor the denominational scandal ever seem to cause any Protestants to reject their own system.
So that is one reply: we reject the double standard whereby you guys believe all that (and other things, too) with small or no biblical support, while at the same time demanding hyper-biblical-support for every one of our doctrines, as if we don't have it and you do for absolutely everything you believe and even make a "pillar" of your system.
The second answer is that explicit support is not required anyway, because the Bible never teaches that: that every doctrine must be explicitly indicated in the Bible and nowhere else. If we are fully "biblical" that notion is completely absent. So why follow it? Well, because it is an entrenched, arbitrary tradition of man, is what it amounts to. [last italics added presently]
I add now, that this notion Chemnitz has, that a doctrine more explicitly indicated in Scripture is automatically superior to one that is less explicitly or only implicitly indicated (or, as he would say, absent altogether, when often this is debatable), is itself a concept that Scripture (to my knowledge) never asserts. So where does it come from? Well, it is a deduction of a notion that is itself not able to be proved from Scripture: sola Scriptura. Chemnitz is thus relying heavily on an arbitrary, unbiblical notion of men that is based on another presupposition that is an arbitrary, unbiblical notion of men. If anyone doubts this, then I would challenge him to find where in Chemnitz he explains and defends the rationale or basis for this notion; on what basis does he hold it in the first place? Where is his biblical proof?
What Catholics would regard as perfectly harmonious with Scripture; therefore, "biblical"; Chemnitz would reject as "unbiblical." It comes down to a matter of definition and criteria for levels of "proof" or demonstration. In the end, each doctrine will have to be gone through individually, to establish if it is sufficiently "biblical." That is my apologetic specialty, so I'd be glad -- more than happy -- to do that. Every time I've set out to find biblical indication of a Catholic doctrine, I've found it. Relative strength or weakness may be debated, but I found something every time.
Then I will expect you to give individual examples of doctrines supposedly entirely missing from the Bible, and then you'll have to interact with my arguments that they are present. It's not enough to merely make the assertion. Now you will have to demonstrate it and interact with rebuttals. Protestants make the bald claims all the time, but when asked or challenged to defend their assertions, oftentimes it is a far different story, with much less confidence exhibited, for some reason.
Again, it all comes down to what you mean by "proven with Scripture," and how you arrive at this determination; then it is a matter of examining relevant patristic passages. You may assume this means sola Scriptura, which we reject, while I would argue that it is material sufficiency, which we accept.
He does not! To say that true doctrine agrees with Scripture does not contradict the Catholic position at all. This is what he believed (see my three links above). He doesn't make sola Scriptura (Scripture as the only infallible norm and standard of faith or belief) the rule of faith: that is a whole 'nother ball of wax. This is a factual matter, and it is easy to prove that St. Irenaeus held a thoroughly Catholic view, not proto-Lutheran or any kind of proto-Protestant view. I've already provided several proofs of that, and I have more in my third critique of Chemnitz and also some twenty pages in my book, The Church Fathers Were Catholic (I will send you a free e-book copy via e-mail).
Yes, we must -- rightly interpreted. We can't simply anachronistically read in our views. I shall cite two prominent Lutherans with regard to this general point:
- As regards the pre-Augustinian Church, there is in our time a striking convergence of scholarly opinion that Scripture and Tradition are for the early Church in no sense mutually exclusive: kerygma, Scripture and Tradition coincide entirely. The Church preaches the kerygma which is to be found in toto in written form in the canonical books.
- The Tradition is not understood as an addition to the kerygma contained in Scripture but as the handing down of that same kerygma in living form: in other words everything is to be found in Scripture and at the same time everything is in the living Tradition. It is in the living, visible Body of Christ, inspired and vivified by the operation of the Holy Spirit, that Scripture and Tradition coinhere . . . Both Scripture and Tradition issue from the same source: the Word of God, Revelation . . . Only within the Church can this kerygma be handed down undefiled . . .
(Heiko Oberman, The Harvest of Medieval Theology, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, revised 1967, 366-367)
- Clearly it is an anachronism to superimpose upon the discussions of the second and third centuries categories derived from the controversies over the relation of Scripture and tradition in the 16th century, for 'in the ante-Nicene Church . . . there was no notion of sola Scriptura, but neither was there a doctrine of traditio sola.'. . . (1)
- The apostolic tradition was a public tradition . . . So palpable was this apostolic tradition that even if the apostles had not left behind the Scriptures to serve as normative evidence of their doctrine, the church would still be in a position to follow 'the structure of the tradition which they handed on to those to whom they committed the churches (2).' This was, in fact, what the church was doing in those barbarian territories where believers did not have access to the written deposit, but still carefully guarded the ancient tradition of the apostles, summarized in the creed . . . The term 'rule of faith' or 'rule of truth' . . . seems sometimes to have meant the 'tradition,' sometimes the Scriptures, sometimes the message of the gospel . . . In the . . . Reformation . . . the supporters of the sole authority of Scripture . . . overlooked the function of tradition in securing what they regarded as the correct exegesis of Scripture against heretical alternatives.
(Jaroslav Pelikan, The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine: Vol.1 of 5: The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100-600), Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 1971, pp. 115-17, 119; citations: 1. In Cushman, Robert E. and Egil Grislis, editors, The Heritage of Christian Thought: Essays in Honor of Robert Lowry Calhoun, New York: 1965, quote from Albert Outler, "The Sense of Tradition in the Ante-Nicene Church," p. 29. 2. St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, 3:4:1)
Likewise, Anglican church historian J. N. D. Kelly:
It should be unnecessary to accumulate further evidence.Throughout the whole period Scripture and tradition ranked as complementary authorities, media different in form but coincident in content. To inquire which counted as superior or more ultimate is to pose the question in misleading terms. If Scripture was abundantly sufficient in principle, tradition was recognized as the surest clue to its interpretation, for in tradition the Church retained, as a legacy from the apostles which was embedded in all the organs of her institutional life, an unerring grasp of the real purport and meaning of the revelation to which Scripture and tradition alike bore witness.
(Early Christian Doctrines, San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1978, 47-48)
Indeed, they did do so. They went to Scripture first, and made the appropriate arguments. If the heretic was still obstinate, their trump card was to appeal to the authority of the unbroken apostolic tradition of the Church.
Material vs. formal sufficiency distinction . . .
Development of doctrine is necessary and inevitable for all doctrines. It's my favorite theological topic, and was the largest persuasive factor in my conversion to Catholicism.
Interpretation had to be within the matrix of the Church's orthodox theology. See my papers:
Antidote to William Whitaker's Sola Scriptura Arguments, Part 7: Church Fathers on the Rule of Faith / Prooftext for Perspicuity (Eisegesis of Deuteronomy 30:11-14) Refuted from Scripture
Antidote to William Whitaker's Sola Scriptura Arguments, Part 11: Interpretation of Scripture: Moses' Seat, Pharisaical Authority, the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15), and Whitaker's Irrational, Radically Individualist Subjectivism
Antidote to William Whitaker's Sola Scriptura Arguments, Part 12: Church Councils, St. Irenaeus' Rule of Faith, and St. John Chrysostom on St. Peter and His Successors
Salvation by grace alone (over against Pelagianism) is biblical, apostolic, and patristic teaching, not salvation by faith alone (a Protestant novelty). See my papers:
St. Paul's Teaching on the Organic Relationship of Grace / Faith and Works / Action / Obedience (Collection of 50 Pauline Passages)

As dominant as they already were in region play, the Bishop England Lady Bishops seem to be getting even stronger in the postseason.
Bishop England (24-1) rolled past Academic Magnet, 70-27, at home Saturday in the second round of the SCHSL Class AA playoffs.
The win marks the third time this season the Lady Bishops have beaten Academic Magnet. Bishop England opened region play in December with a 26-point win over the Raptors, picked up a second win in January by 33 points, and completed the sweep Saturday with the 43-point drubbing.
Twelve Lady Bishops scored Saturday, nine turning in at least four points. Bishop England scored at least 15 points in every quarter but didnt allow Academic Magnet more than 12 in any.
The Raptors managed just two made field goals in the first half, while Bishop England built a 28-point lead. Michele Boykin and Caroline McQueeney both scored 10 points in the first half for Bishop England. Mary Harriet Moore turned in six in the first quarter and another six in the third. With a 30-point lead early in the second half, Bishop England was able to rest its starters for most of the third quarter and all of the fourth.
Academic Magnet (18-5) was limited to 18 percent shooting on the night while giving up 19 steals to the Bishops pressure. Cara Pugh led the Raptors with 11 points. No other player scored more than five for Academic Magnet.
Boykin finished with a game-high 14 points. Moore added 12, and McQueeney 10.
Bishop England will host Battery Creek, another Region VI opponent, Tuesday in the third round. The Lady Bishops won their two games against Battery Creek this season by a combined 42 points.

Claude Knighten (301) 734-5271
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2006--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today released a revised plan to further protect the health and value of American agricultural resources against the introduction and establishment of exotic fruit fly pests.
APHIS' plant protection and quarantine program officials updated the Exotic Fruit Fly Strategic Plan, which was first released in February, after receiving comments from stakeholders, cooperators and the general public. Comments on the plan's proposed closure of the sterile Mediterranean fruit fly production facility in Waimanalo, Hawaii, has prompted APHIS officials to invite interested parties to submit an "expression of interest" to partner with APHIS to produce sterile fruit flies at a federal rearing facility, or to purchase the insects from a privately owned company, state or foreign government.
The Exotic Fruit Fly Strategic Plan is an integrated, multi-faceted approach that incorporates surveillance activities, control programs and regulatory actions to safeguard American agriculture against a number of fruit fly species, including Mediterranean (Medfly), Mexican and Oriental fruit flies.
Increased globalization of the transportation industry and increased availability of affordable travel can inadvertently create pathways for exotic fruit fly introductions here in the United States. To address these realities and safeguard against a pest that attacks more than 400 host plants, APHIS is taking a global approach and will focus on achieving five priorities:
Over the next five years, APHIS officials, working with both domestic and international partners, intend to bolster USDA's capacity to control exotic fruit flies, one of the most
destructive pests of fruits and vegetables in the world. The agency has set three goals in its plan to protect host commodities valued at more than $7.2 billion on the open market.
Through fruit fly exclusion and detection programs, APHIS will:
The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), commonly called Medfly, or Moscamed in Spanish, is one of the world's most destructive agricultural pests. The female Medfly attacks ripening fruit, piercing the soft skin and laying eggs in the puncture. The eggs hatch into larvae (maggots), which feed inside the fruit pulp.
Notice of this plan is scheduled for publication in the Oct. 24 Federal Register.
Note to Reporters: USDA news releases, program announcements and media advisories are available on the Internet. Go to the APHIS news release page at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/newsroom.

Indoor Air Cleaning & Filtration Technology
What Makes Air "Unhealthy"?
When a shaft of light shines into your living room, you've most likely noticed the particles floating in its beam. If you're like most, you're probably not thrilled to realize your breathing those particles. And just what are they, anyway? There are three main components to unhealthy indoor air: particulate matter, micro-organisms and volatile organic compounds (or V.O.C.s). Common indoor particles include things like pollen, lint, smoke, house dust and animal dander. In fact, even homes that don't have pets probably still have dander in the air! It was recently published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology that pet allergen is present in ALL homes, regardless of whether an animal is even present. Common airborne micro-organisms can include plant and mold spores, viruses and bacteria. Other indoor air pollutants include chemicals, gases and fumes like asbestos, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, lead, nitrogen dioxide, as well as volatile organic compounds emitted from household cleaning products, furniture, smoke and cooking odors. While this extensive list of potential household air contaminants may seem daunting, there are filtration technologies available to help limit your exposure to harmful indoor air.
Beyond The Hype - What You Need To Know
Companies promoting today's plethora of available air cleaning devices claim everything from filtration to the zapping and trapping of countless irritants ranging from house lint to the SARS virus. It is important to be an educated consumer as some companies' air cleaners do not serve your needs as well as others. A good first step is to know which airborne particles most concern you and your family. The best way to pinpoint your allergen triggers if you haven't already done so, is to be tested by an allergist. Then you can more effectively decide what type of machine will be best for you and your family.
A good air cleaner should be able to filter dust, pollen, pet dander and most other particles that fall within the 0.1-10 micron range. A micron is a unit of measure equal to one-millionth of a meter. Refer to the "Common Particle Size" chart below to see where different particles fall in the spectrum of filtration and to get an idea of what you can reasonably expect a filter to remove. To help give some perspective, a typical human hair measures about 70 microns in diameter - so even what is considered a rather large particle at 10 microns is still seven times smaller in diameter than a human hair!
Before we discuss specific air filtration technologies, here are a few other important terms you might want to know. A furnace filter or whole house filter is rated using a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV), which measures the filter's ability to trap small particles. MERV ratings range from 0-12. You may also see test figures by an organization called ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers). This group performs testing on whole-house filters and publishes standards for ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality. An important component of room air purifiers is that it uses a motorized fan to circulate air thus bringing dirty air back to the machine for cleaning. Some terms used to describe a machine's ability to move air include Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) or Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of circulation. Many air cleaners are also given a Room Size rating, which is generally based on the length times width of the room. It is important to observe this Room Size rating as using an air cleaner in a larger room can limit its benefit. For more air quality definitions, visit this helpful "Air Cleaning Terms" page.
Common Air Cleaning Systems
Electronic electrostatic machines are room air purifiers that use electronically charged collecting plates to attract particles found in the air. There are two general types of electrostatic room air purifiers, those that have motorized fans to circulate room air and those that don't. A recent article by a leading consumer magazine rated a motorized electronic electrostatic machine as its top air cleaner. That same test found several other electrostatic machines to be ineffective. Why? The latter machines did not circulate the air past the collecting plates. This is what the EPA has to say, "A very efficient collector with a low air-circulation rate will not be effective." Generally speaking, any electronic electrostatic machine will rapidly loose effectiveness as dust builds up on the plates. While you may save some money on replacement filter costs, we have found that electrostatic plates need to be cleaned as often as every week in order to maintain their effectiveness.
Another type of air cleaning system is utilized by ionic precipitators. These machines are usually small table-top units that "precipitate" or dispense ions into a room. The ions find and attach themselves to particles in the air. These newly formed particles maintain their charge and then "seek out" a charged surface and attach to it. Usually these surfaces are nearby walls or furniture that may need to be wiped down periodically because particles collect on them. National Allergy carries several ionic precipitators, including the Wein 2500 which we recommend for basement and crawlspace use, particularly for removing airborne mold and mildew. Chronic sinusitis sufferers especially enjoy the benefit of the reduced airborne mold and the often-accompanying musty smell.
The other major air cleaning systems involve moving air through a filter media. For example, electrostatic whole-house filters are very effective at turning your furnace into an air filter. When speaking of room air purifiers, most doctors recommend HEPA filtration media. HEPA filters were originally developed during World War II to prevent the discharge of radioactive particles from the exhaust of a nuclear reactor facility. They have since become a vital technology in industrial, medical, and military clean rooms and have grown in popularity for use in portable residential air cleaners. A true HEPA filter, by definition, must remove 99.97% of particles at least 0.3 microns in size - as small or smaller than pollen, pet dander, mold and some smoke and smog particles. Warning: Filters using less efficient filtering materials are frequently being referred to as "HEPA-type" filters, though their actual efficiency may be 55% or less for particles at 0.3 microns.
For the best protection from environmental pollutants like smoke, odors, smog and chemicals, some HEPA air cleaners have added activated carbon in either granulated or blanket form. Carbon, especially when paired with zeolite, is naturally formulated to remove cigarette or pet odors, paint fumes and other volatile organic compounds. A further technology that is helpful for the chemically sensitive is impregnating a carbon filter with potassium iodide, as in our Austin Air HealthMate Plus units. This technology provides filtration of additional chemicals like formaldehyde and ammonia. Please be aware that no air cleaner can completely protect against the dangers of second-hand smoke.
Lesser-Known Air Cleaning Systems
Recently, hospitals and other industries have been using installed ultraviolet filtration systems to combat dirty air and to arrest harmful viruses. UV technology involves passing air by a powerful ultraviolet bulb that is intended to alter the DNA of any harmful proteins or organisms, making them unable to reproduce. While the concept is viable, in order to be eliminated, an organism must be exposed to the UV for longer than the few seconds it takes for the airflow to quickly pass the particle past the bulb. This technology is currently being integrated into some different types of air cleaning machines, but is still considered developmental in its ability to act alone as an effective air cleaning method.
Ozone generators are also sold as another method of air cleaning. The EPA describes ozone this way,
"Ozone is a molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen. Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition. It is this ability to react with other substances that forms the basis of manufacturers' claims."
The American Lung Association has deemed most of these machines unsafe because ozone, in certain quantities, can trigger asthma attacks. In fact, "the U.S. EPA (1995) concluded that tabletop and room unit ozone generators are not effective in improving indoor air quality." (source: "Ozone Generators." American Lung Association.) Some UV and electrostatic machines may also produce ozone as a by-product. So if you are considering one of these types of air cleaners, be sure to find out whether the ozone output is considered safe.
Photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO) is a relatively new technology that converts toxic compounds, even carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide, into benign components such as carbon dioxide. The chemical process is fairly complicated, however to read a bit more about this technology, click here. PCO technology has a lot of potential for destroying low level pollutants like bacteria, viruses and fungi in indoor air. However, many air quality professionals feel that there are some technical issues that remain to be resolved before this technology is completely safe and effective for residential use. In addition, most of these units are very expensive and do not have strong air flow.
A Final Note On Air Filtration
Through our years in business, National Allergy has earned the respect of thousands of physicians because we provide quality products and we care for the health of their patients. We have found that most doctors agree that the first line of defense against allergens is an allergy-proof bedroom. Air cleaners should only be used as one of several steps in creating a healthy home environment, particularly for those sensitive to dust mite allergen which is not often airborne for very long. Step one is to cover your mattress and pillows with mite-proof encasings. Reducing humidity and controlling mites and other allergens in your carpet or furniture are other key steps to keeping the environment in your bedroom and home clean. Air filtration works wonderfully in conjunction with these steps by removing airborne irritants that can cause discomfort. Countless customers have experienced relief from their allergy and asthma conditions by following this doctor-recommended, step-wise protocol.
We hope this article has been helpful for you. There is a lot to know and learn about the different air cleaning systems on the market today, so next month we will take a closer look at specific options available for room air purifiers and whole house filtration with the goal if helping you decide what may be best for you and your family.
Is Air Quality Effecting Your Health?
Recently published studies have addressed the problem of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in many offices and schools. And it seems not a day goes by without some mention in the news about poor indoor air and it's health effects. Some of the same irritants and conditions that cause building-related illness in these environments could be lurking in your home. As you might remember, there are three main components to unhealthy indoor air: particulate matter (like dust mite allergen, dander and smoke), micro-organisms (like bacteria, mold, and viruses) and volatile organic compounds (like formaldehyde, ammonia, and fumes from solvents). According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 50 percent of illnesses are either caused and/or aggravated by polluted indoor air. Symptoms that could accompany having a "sick" home, office or school include:
Practical Tips For Improving Home Air Quality
The good news about your home's air quality is you can take action to improve it without having to spend a fortune. The main focus of this article is air filtration products that can fit any budget. First, here are a few inexpensive steps you can take right now to minimize your exposure to unhealthy home air.
- Prohibit smoking indoors.
- Use air conditioning, particularly during high-pollen seasons and on high-smog days. (Note: Overcooling your home on high-humidity days can cause condensation and possibly mold).
- Eliminate other mold-causing moisture:
- Vent your clothes dryer to the outside.
- Make sure dehumidifiers and humidifiers are frequently cleaned and maintained.
- Monitor and fix potential leaks and spills.
- Maintain your HVAC system by changing or washing your filters when appropriate.
- Don't store old containers of paint, solvents, pesticides or other household chemicals.
- Keep lids tight on cleaning products and consider switching to non-toxic, chemical free cleaning solutions.
- Vacuum frequently and, for best results, use a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner.
- For more helpful tips on indoor air quality, visit the EPA website.
Considerations When Choosing A Room Air Cleaner
As discussed in the first Indoor Air Cleaning article, there are a number of different air cleaning technologies being marketed. But it's HEPA filtration that doctors recommend most often for effective air cleaning. Therefore, the following information will deal primarily with room air cleaners that utilize HEPA filtration. National Allergy carries a number of these HEPA room air cleaners made by top companies like Hunter, Honeywell and Austin Air.
Once you know you're in the market for an air cleaner, the next step is to know the room size of the room where the air cleaner will be used. For example, the Austin HM400 is good for larger rooms up to 20 x 25 feet, while our Vapor-Eze Clean Air 5000 unit is rated for smaller rooms (or vehicles) up to 12 x 15 feet. Many of our customers also have sensitivities to various odors and chemicals such as formaldehyde, chloroform, disinfectants, kerosene, exhaust fumes and others. If you or a loved one is chemically sensitive, or if you live in an urban environment with pollutant dangers, then a HEPA machine with added filtration for volatile organic compounds (VOC's) is a wise idea. Austin Air Cleaners include a filter canister filled with granular activated carbon combined with zeolite to effectively filter many of these VOC's and odors. The Austin Air HealthMate Plus takes VOC filtration a step further by a impregnating the granular carbon with potassium iodide for maximum chemical and odor filtration for compounds like formaldehyde and ammonia.
When guiding people through a room air cleaner decision, our customer service representatives are most often asked about noise level, required maintenance, and where to put the machine. We will look at these factors, but remember that the most important feature of an air cleaner is its ability to effectively filter the air.
The Noise Factor
The American Lung Association and others recommend that air cleaners have a motor to circulate air back to the machine for cleaning. Because of this, some people find machines like HEPA air cleaners to be noisy. Most of our customers would probably say the extra noise is a small price to pay for the peace of knowing they are getting cleaner air. In fact, many people cannot sleep without their air cleaner running because of the comforting "white noise" it provides. However, being able to control the noise is an important feature as well. For this reason, most air cleaners on the market today have variable speeds. A solution that we recommend for the noise-sensitive is to run the air cleaner on high during the day, or when it will not be bothersome to anyone, then during the evening, set the cleaner to a low setting. A variable-speed machine will be quieter on its low setting, however it should never be completely off.
The Question Of Maintenance
Any air cleaner that utilizes a HEPA filter and carbon pre-filter technology will require filter changes. Many customers appreciate any feature that makes this maintenance easier. All Hunter units contain filter change indicators, as do several of the Honeywell machines. Under normal operating conditions, the carbon pre-filter on Honeywell and Hunter units should be changed about every 3 months, while the main HEPA filter should be changed every 1-3 years. If you fail to change the filters on schedule, the air cleaner will lose effectiveness and may eventually end up with motor damage. National Allergy sells all available replacement filters for the brands we distribute. While they are more expensive initially, a benefit of Austin Air Cleaners is a very low maintenance cost because pre-filters only need periodic vacuuming and the main HEPA and VOC filters can be replaced together every 4-5 years.
Air Flow & Placement
You will find that the majority of machines sold currently vent the clean air upward to enable the most effective air circulation and to avoid stirring up dirt and allergens by blowing air across the floor. Air cleaner manufacturers realize that it is impractical for most people to have their air cleaner in the middle of a room. Thus, machines like Hunter have front air intakes so they can be placed against a wall and still circulate air effectively. Other machines feature 360-degree air intake and are best placed 2 to 3 feet away from a wall. Because we believe airflow is such an important factor, we recommend using a unit powerful enough to circulate the air through its filters at least 6 times per hour in the room used. How much air a unit moves is one of our main litmus tests in evaluating whether or not to offer a particular air cleaner.
Simple Whole House Filtration
For most people, the best strategy for having safe air quality in the home involves a combination of technologies at two different levels - the individual rooms AND the whole house. A great way to get whole-house filtration, if your home has a forced-air (HVAC) system, is by using a high-efficiency furnace filter. Traditional furnace filters are fiberglass and do very little to remove allergens and other dangerous particles from the air. In fact, they have an efficiency rating of only 2% for those smaller particles as compared to the HEPA filtration efficiency of 99.97%. However, because furnace filters have to balance filtration with airflow through your ventilation system, thicker filtration media like HEPA does not work as a furnace filter. The airflow in your ventilation system is not powerful enough to move air through a HEPA filter without risking damage to your system.
Electrostatic filters are a good choice for HVAC systems because the filter media is negatively charged to attract allergens and other small particles something like a magnet would to metal shavings. Electrostatic filters are available as permanent washable filters or as quarterly disposable filters. Permanent electrostatic filters are a more economical choice in the long term and National Allergy's permanent filters have a lifetime warranty. However, their filtration is not as efficient as disposable filters and they need to be cleaned monthly in order to maintain their electrostatic properties.
There are several highly efficient disposable electrostatic furnace filters available, like the 3M Filtrete Ultra Allergen 1250, the Filtrete Micro Allergen 1000 , and the Filtrete Ultra Allergen Furnace Filter. Did you know that 10% of Americans surveyed by 3M and the American Lung Association admitted to having never changed their furnace filter? It can be easy to forget, but if you are considering using disposable filters, they must be changed quarterly in order to maintain their effectiveness against small particles.Once filtered, the air still has to travel through the ductwork where it can pick up particulate matter. One economical way to add a bit more protection is to cover incoming air vents with our electrostatic Vent Filtration Kit. The easy-to-use kit is made of a high-grade polyester media that attracts many of the larger particles that may blow in from your ductwork. Vent filters work best in conjunction with a furnace filter and will not remove particles already in the room nor very small particles.
Back To School, Back To Allergies?
As you have read, indoor air quality can be managed in the home, but there are often allergy and asthma triggers lurking in environments outside of our homes as well. Here are some air-quality action points to consider as we approach fall. College-bound students should keep in mind that dorm or apartment rooms are small and often allergy-filled. We recommend a portable room air cleaner like the Honeywell QuietCare or the Austin Air HealthMate Jr. for cleaning a dorm or small apartment room. Many of these buildings are older and may not be well ventilated so they can harbor mold, chemical contaminants and of course, dust mites. So, along with a portable air cleaner consider sending some comfortable, low maintenance encasings like those made from our SofTEK2 fabric so your college student can rest (and study!) in allergen-free air.
Many elementary, middle and high schools have also discovered troubling indoor air quality issues. This year school openings have already been delayed in towns and cities from Washington to Ohio, mostly because of mold. In addition to mold, typical classroom allergens can include dust mites, chalk dust, animal dander from class pets and pollen. You might consider talking to school officials about the air quality safety of your local school. Some might be willing to place an air cleaner in your child's classroom or take other measures to prevent harmful air. Both your child and his or her classmates will benefit from the reduced exposure to airborne contaminants. We offer special pricing for local schools interested in purchasing quantities of air cleaners for their facilities. Here is a source for additional Healthy Classroom tips.
Poor air quality is a serious issue, but one that you can have some influence on by doing your homework and making smart choices. We encourage you to visit to a local allergist if you think you may have a "sick" home, school or workplace. They can help you identify what triggers you truly need to avoid and clean from your environment. It is always wise to consult with your doctor first about your specific condition, treatment options and other health concerns you may have. Our goal is to keep you informed and educated so, ultimately, you and your family can breathe better and find relief from allergy, asthma, and sinus symptoms.

Why does it need to be a big deal if any fighter is gay or has a problem with a gay fighter? I understand it may come up if a male fighter thanks his husband for his love, and support, but why does it need to be a big deal? The same goes for having a problem with homosexuality, why does it matter? Just because he may have gotten hacked, doesn't mean he has to like homosexuality. He doesn't have to publicly endorse it to prove that it wasn't him that was using slurs.
Does anybody remember that TUF had a guy that did gay porn?

Science Matters
What's in Your Water
EPA researchers are developing a library of natural organic matter samples to support and advance drinking water research.
Fall has arrived. Time for Thanksgiving, daylight saving time, soccer games, and—leaves. While millions of people enjoy the annual display as entire forests change from dark green to a palette of brilliant yellow, blazing red, and perhaps a million different shades of orange, they might be less welcome if that transition led to an influx of decaying leaves discoloring their tap water dark and making it smell like a pungent pond.
The same forested watersheds and other natural areas that serve as the geographic sources for municipal water supplies are also the source of naturally-occurring materials, from decaying leaves to a host other sources, that can affect the quality of drinking water. These materials, what water quality professionals refer to as "natural organic matter," or NOM for short, are part of what water treatment facilities target for removal before water is sent flowing into the drinking water supply.
Researchers at EPA are developing a library of NOM samples to support and advance drinking water research. The impact is expected to be significant across the industry, helping to advance filtration and treatment options, processes for reducing disinfection byproducts, and a better understanding of how climate change affects drinking water quality.
NOM offers a number of challenges to water treatment facilities. First, as made evident every fall, the quantity and source of materials that dissolve across the watershed and contribute to natural organic materials entering water sources can change over time.
Another important consideration, particularly for scientists and engineers at EPA, is that NOM has been found to interact with chlorine and other chemicals used to remove pathogens from water, contributing to the presence of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Concern over the presence of DBPs in drinking water and their potential to adversely affect people has become a concern. As a result, EPA enforces regulatory limits for two primary groups of DBPs linked to health risks, trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5).
Some of the same things that make natural organic materials a challenge for water treatment operations—large variations over time as well as significant differences from one location to the next—also make them difficult to study. For example, water treatment engineers and other researchers who want to test and compare new treatment technologies need to ship large quantities of sample water to their laboratories, and expensive proposition.
"The library is envisioned as a repository of freeze-dried samples of natural organic material collected from drinking water sources in different places and at different times of the year. The samples will provide standardized NOM available to researchers and engineers for studying drinking water treatment," explains EPA environmental engineer Jonathan G. Pressman, Ph.D.
One innovative solution Pressman and his partners have developed is the same one used to feed astronauts and backpackers: freeze-drying. Pressman and his partners have demonstrated that water samples can be freeze-dried and reconstituted without losing NOM or changing its composition. From a sample of 3,000 liters (the equivalent of about 10 bathtubs) of typical filtered and treated drinking water, the researchers are able to produce 10 grams of NOM (the weight of 10 paperclips.)
In the future, EPA plans to develop a NOM library of freeze-dried samples from drinking water sources all around the country. The freeze-dried NOM can be used to make concentrated samples of DBP mixtures, which will advance efforts to identify chemicals too low to be detected in drinking water, facilitating the development of effective engineering solutions and risk reduction strategies. Once NOM is isolated and freeze-dried into a shelf-stable dried powder, it can be reconstituted back into its source water and be used in repeatable experiments. A library of different waters will enable researchers to easily test different water treatment processes on different water sources.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
As a past resident of the East Road in Waitsfield I follow(ed) the Ginny Houston water fiasco and fall out. I remember the volley of views when she was attempting to get her project out of the ground and into town and put another spot on the Waitsfield tourists' map and maybe even some national recognition for another great tasting Vermont product.
Don't forget about the taxes her business could have generated, oh and the jobs, and the possible tourist dollars. "Gee that is why Vermont milk and cheese tastes so good from The Valley, it's the water the cows drink." Carbon dated glacial water? What an ad campaign that could of been at the Farmers' Market.
Does anybody else remember all the local issues stemming from this wealthy out-of-town person wanting to exploit "our natural resources" and make our wells go dry, or all the safety concerns.
I forgot, were anyone's taxes going to go up with her project?
Well we showed her; the town took her water and some of her land rights. And, yes, did the same to other ridgeline landholders also.
What would have happened if the town found water at one of its prior exploration wells and someone else drilled into the same aquifer, 251 feet away? Then what?
I've yet to see a good NMI (Not My Idea) or NIMBY article about the latest water happenings. Is anyone still concerned about well levels dropping? Many were when Houston was going to use the water, or was that just bunk, or NMI? What is the difference with the theft of her water that she found on her property versus the break-ins we just read about this past week?
Where have you all gone? Maybe planning how to now make money off of (soon to be) valuable real estate or develop some more commercial space?
All of you know we would of been reading outlandish/scary articles about her 400,000-gallon water storage tank that will flood The Valley when it collapses because it was built with out-of-town money or all the stress from the construction traffic jams because someone was late to Pilate's, the safety concerns from the big excavation equipment crushing tourists and stirring up dust causing respiratory issues. Jeez, this is looking like a good class action suit to me.
Come on people, you're going soft.
The possible new Dollar Store in Moretown has had more ink.
This is going to be great, when people come into town if they can still make it over the Kingsbury Bridge (maybe a better use of planning or federal funds) they'll see the controversial solar arrays.
If the
"affected" neighborhood/townspeople reacted then the way they have
since the town decided to pursue its found water, I believe Ginny Houston would
have pursued her water business to some capacity and more people would
have benefited. The fact that the town is doing practically the same thing she
wanted to do and very few have opposed/complained is absurd, or could it be
NIMBYism is dead? Nah, they just moved on from water, to gravel, sunshine and
the winds.
Who's really going to pay for this? Who and how many people will really benefit?

iPod nano (2010) review
iPod nano (2010), the sixth generation iPod nano, is a complete redesign from form factor to interface. Gone is the click-wheel, gone is the camera, gone is the video. What's left is a beautiful, polished square running something that looks like iOS, complete with multitouch, gestures, and little nano apps. How does that compare to an iPod touch or iPhone? Read on after the break for our review.
The 2010 iPod nano is cooler and sleeker, and definitely smaller than last year's model -- 46 percent smaller to be exact and 42 percent lighter. That works out to a tiny 1.48 inches (37.5 mm) high, 1.61 inches (40.9 mm) wide, 0.35 inch (8.78 mm) deep with the clip, and a weight of just 0.74 ounce (21.1 grams). That makes it extremely portable.
The nano also picks up the iPod shuffle's clip. Located on the it's easy to use and can be worn almost anywhere -- believe me, I've tried!
You may have heard that it's hip to be square and the nano proves it. The anodized aluminum outer shell comes in 7 different colors, silver, grey, yellow, green, blue, pink and red.
As for ports, the new nano has the same old 30 pin connector so you can use it with your computer, car, and any other iPod accessories that you may already have, and the standard 3.5mm headset jack.
There are also buttons, which are round and metal and similar to iPhone 4, including volume up and down and sleep/wake. Unfortunately there's no home button like iPhone, something I'll gripe about later.
The bright 1.54-inch display packs 240-by-240 pixel, 220ppi resolution. The multi touch screen allows you to tap to launch apps or make selections, drag apps around to re-arrange them, put two fingers down and twist to rotate the display, double tap (Zombieland ftw), and press-hold an icon to star/stop jiggly mode, or in the middle of the screen to go back to the main home page.
Apple rates the battery life at 24-hours for music with a fast change time of an hour and half to get to 80% and 3 hours to get to full.
And yes, no more video camera. The iPod touch stole it.
Music is where the iPod nano is at. You can select your music from a multitude of different icons (I can't really call them apps, they just launch different views of the iPod app). Songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, and composers are all here.
The Genius app will take music you already like and choose other songs which you may find appealing. You use the genius application in iTunes and then just sync over any songs you want.
The FM radio works very well on the iPod nano, just plug in your earphones (they double as the antenna) and let the tuner do the rest. You also have the ability to live pause your music, this way you can listen to a song on the radio and then pause the song and come back to the song just where you left off.
If you like to run with your iPod Nano then the pedometer is perfect. It will track how many steps you have taken, how many calories you have burned, and any when you have reached your target goal. If you use Nike+, it's there and waiting for you as well.
One of my favorite applications is the clock, which looks like a snazzy watch. You can choose to have the black or white watch background, I think the black looks nicer.
Apple continues to lead the pack when it comes to accessibility and he new nano is no different. You can turn on the VoiceOver feature which will then give you a description of what is under your finger.
There's a photo app so you can swipe through any photographs you've synced over, but there's no video player any more. I synced over a few video podcasts just to see what would happen and all I got was the audio. Maybe Apple doesn't think people want to watch video on a 1.5-inch square, or maybe Apple just wants them to buy an iPod touch instead.
The 2010 iPod nano is small and lightweight and offers great battery life. The clip also makes it wearable for athletes, hipsters, and pretty much anyone on the go.
It's easy to use and immediately familiar to anyone coming from an iOS device like iPod touch or iPhone. That said, the "tap and hold center" as home button is not very intuitive and sometimes conflicts with other interface actions. Could they have fit in a real, physical home button, or somehow added the functionality to the sleep/wake button? As it is, it's a klutzy deviation from iOS and not for the better.
It's also an iPod in the more traditional sense, not in the iPod touch sense. You're limited to music, music, music, and a few nano apps (napps?). There's no more video playback, and there's not even a contact book or calculator. (Sure it would have been hard at that size, but if anyone could do it it's Apple).
Taken as a whole, which is how Apple products simply must be taken, the iPod nano (2010) won't appeal to those who can afford a iPhone or a iPod touch but might just be the best nano yet for those who want to bring something lightweight with them on the go.

iPod nano (2010) review
So since everybody hates why not give suggestion. Provide solutions. If you just give negative feedback but never address how to fix it then how will one become better.
Everybody quit being so negative.
But blogs should be proof read at minimum
If Apple said they just took off the wheel part of the Nano why did they remove the camera too?
I dont think your conclusion makes any sense. The new nano appeals to me and I have an iPhone 4...and I'm sure I'm not alone. As a pure music player for running or working out it's much superior to the iPhone. Have you tried running a fair distance with the iPhone in your pocket? Or doing the bench press with the iPhone 4 strapped to your arm? Try either out and you'll see why the nano can be appealing to iPhone or touch owners.
Nice review. I like the idea of the Nano. Like Frazam said, I wouldn't be using my iPhone for running or working out, but the Nano sounds perfect. I'm not going to stop and take pictures or anything either.
Kick Butt
I beg to differ with Frazam. I am a iPod Touch owner and the nano does not appeal to me, mainly because of the price and function losses since the last version.
Yes, the portability is good, but it really carries a limitation on functionality compared to nano 5.0. My wife has a nano 5.0 and I love it. I will upgrade my ipod Touch to 4th gen and I think I'll wait for nano 7.0. Hopefully it will bring the watch size with video camera and/or video playing support.
Apple could create a whole new market if they open up the watch app to customization. Imagine browsing thru the App store and selecting custom watch faces. Digital, analog, different designs & backgrounds. Charge 99 cents for each watch face & open it up to the public to submit designs. Bam.
It's very clear that the new nano is not a direct upgrade option for people with older nanos. If they haven't taken any videos and think the old nano is too big, then the new nano is perfect for them. For everyone else (the majority I suspect), the next step up would be the iPod touch or iPhone. This helps Apple because iOS is their OS of the future, and the touch and iPhone presumably have higher profit margins.
I know this will be a stupid question but how do you turn it off? Or does it just have a sleep mode?
How does it lock? I have the nano 5.0 and I like that it has a lock switch.
Its quiet super!!!very portable,and the only disappointment is it doesn't have video camera.....

The first mention of the article came to me by way of Twilert–my morning hashtag delivery service–via some young guy named Charz Kelso. (Coming attraction: I'll talk about Twilert on my next post about Baby Boomers and Twitter.) True, we can all use 30-year-old pictures of ourselves as Twitter avatars (translation: pictures), so maybe Charz Kelso isn't a Gen Yer angry at his parents. But this was his tweet:First off, I don't get the idea of someone mad about not getting his inheritance. A woman I know once complained bitterly while her parents' estate was being settled that she wanted her money. "Her money," I thought. "It's your parents' money. They worked for it. They had the right to do with it whatever they want." So I object to that kind of spoiled kid attitude, whether the person is six or sixty-six. An inheritance, should one be so lucky, is a gift, not something you are owed.
Anyway, next I clicked on the link in his tweet, which brought me to Time.com's "Moneyland": http://ti.me/oiPZF0. This article cited a study by U.S. Trust (a retirement investment company) that concluded that "a surprisingly low 49% of millionaire boomer parents said that leaving money to their kids was a priority." They also referred to the Baby Boomer reputation for selfishness–something I hadn't heard before and would much dispute. (The so-called "me" generation was around before Boomers had come of age.) I tried to check out the study itself, but the U.S. Trust page didn't have a link. So I went to the original article in the L.A. Times. (http://lat.ms/oUvor4) The only information I got there was that U.S. Trust surveyed some millionaire boomers. But how many they surveyed, how they picked their sample, and so on I couldn't ascertain. So I called a friend who manages money for millionaires. He was circumspect, of course. That's his professional stance. But mostly he was "huh?" His logic? The multi-multi millionaires have more than they can possibly spend in their lifetimes, and their plans often include trusts for children and grandchildren.
The L.A. Times article also quotes Ken Dychtwald, a former economics guru who somehow manages to still be a quotable person, even though the recession flushed his "age-wave" theory down the tubes:
"Many boomers already are giving the equivalent of an inheritance, except they're doling out the cash while they're still alive, said Ken Dychtwald, chief executive of research firm Age Wave. They're supporting elderly parents, adult children or other family members who are suffering professional or financial woes. 'How can you say no when a child asks ask for a down payment for a house or money to remodel their house to have a bedroom for a second child?' Dychtwald said. 'A lot of boomers are finding that family members are taking cash advances on those inheritances right now.'"
In other words, come inheritance time, what with all we've spent sending out kids to college, helping them buy homes, getting our parents the best medical care, well, there just might not be that much money left. Let's forget about the multi-millionaires. There aren't that many of them anyway, and really, whether the Hiltons are putting away money for Paris or the Kardashians for their famous kids, I don't give a hoot.
Let's talk instead about the upper middle class or regular old middle class baby boomers whose 401ks and other retirement investments kind of shrunk during the recession. We aren't nearly as rich as we thought we were. We also can expect to live well into our 80′s. It might be really hard if we want or need to retire to live just off principal so that there will be a chunk of money available (when we die) to our heirs. The continued resistance, indeed vilification, of a sensible medical system where people could get good care for relatively little money–the kind of system in place in Canada, Israel and many Western countries–makes more plausible the possibility that we shall have to finance our own care should we get hit with an illness in our older years.
I might have ignored this tweet, except that Creating Results (http://creatingresults.com), a PR company that focuses on BabyBoomers and seniors and that usually tweets important information about this enormous cohort of our population, picked up the same quote as Charz Kelso, and tweeted this:
To which I replied, "no way, silly study," or somesuch. They came back with this (and by the way, I'm @wordwhacker on Twitter, for those of you who don't know):
And that's the point. For most of us, decisions about inheritance might be moot. We are not selfish. Far from it. So many of us are right now helping out unemployed recent college/professional school graduates. How could we possibly do otherwise? They're our kids. Or we might be paying medical bills for the elderly and infirm. But how could we do otherwise? They're our parents. Personally, I am grateful for how comfortable my husband and I are. And if we somehow amass a nice chunk of cash before we die, I'll be really happy for my kids to have it. I'm glad I'm not so rich that I'm too busy spending everything I've got so that there will be nothing left for my children and (I hope) grandchildren when I leave this earth.
One more thing: Charz Kelso's tweet reminded me of other ones that come through on my #babyboomer Twilert feed or comments I read online–young people all lathered up into a fury by right wing Republicans and Tea Party-ers because they say we're taking their money when we get Social Security and Medicare Baby Boomers. I'm not going to argue that there aren't problems with the way Social Security is set up now because there does seem to be a tipping point a couple decades from now when the system could go broke. Nonetheless, it's not "their" money we're getting. It's money that has been taken from our paychecks every day of our working lives. It belongs to us. It is not a gift. It has been an investment.
Some things to consider:
- Clue your kids in about your finances. No, not when they're in their teens, but if they're adults, they should know where your money is invested and how you foresee financing the rest of your lives.
- Talk to them about what they'll inherit. Look, we're getting on to 60, and people die. Adult kids should have some idea how to access your assets. At some point, you should also have the "Suzie gets grandma's china" discussion. Find out what is important to them and write it down. Your lawyer can keep a copy.
- Speaking of lawyers, have a will and a living will. Even if you don't have that much money, it's important that you leave clear instructions about what you want to happen when you die. Do you want your kids to sell your house and split the proceeds, or are you hoping one of them buys out the others? Be clear. Also, make it known what you want to happen to you–do you want "heroic measures," i.e. feeding tubes, if you're in a coma an not expected to revive? Do you want to be buried or cremated?
Finally, a shout out to Charz Kelso (who seems maybe to live in Singapore): That was a really well done tweet. For those of you interested in what makes a good tweet, note that he has all the elements: A new and interesting idea; a hashtag (#inheritance) under which this tweet will be filed and seen; a link to an article; wit.
As always, you can leave your comments here on the blog. You can find me on Facebook at facebook.com/Linda.Bernstein or facebook.com/LindaBernsteinPhD. On Twitter I'm @wordwhacker. Do you think Baby Boomers are selfish? Let me know.

I saw these tomato halo's last season but was skeptical so I passed on them. This year I'm in a new house with a new garden with basically virgin soil. I decided to give the tomato halo's a try. I read that the color red attracts the sun to the root of the plant which would encourage growth. Well let me tell you, it worked. I planted 9 plants the last week of April which is two weeks earlier than usual. I did use an expandable fabric net to cover the young plants at night. I uncovered it every morning until May 1st. My plants grew so fast & were dark green. My husband had to trim the plants because they were almost ten feet tall by the end of June. I did use tomato fertilizer spikes once which encouraged growth. I got hundreds of tomatoes but the quality was poor. Many were rotted, split skins, and odd shapes.I attribute this to a lot of rain, & very hot temperatures. The tomatoes that were red & ripe with no defects were delicious! But no complaints about the tomato halo's They did a good job. I would recommend them for sure.

Courtland Rogers Charged With Felony Minutes Before Marrying Jenelle Evans!
Jenelle Evans and Courtland Rogers tied the knot in a small courthouse ceremony on December 4, but their day was far from ideal. According to RadarOnline, Courtland was charged with a felony for obtaining property by false pretenses just hours before getting married!
So, why was Courtland charged with a felony? Turns out someone took out "false charges" on him, but he's an innocent man! "Check my records I have not been in any trouble for the past 7 years," Courtland posted on Jenelle's blog, Feelings and Emotions. "Until recently I have had somebody take false charges out on me but thats ok because I am innocent so I will be okay."
Courtland also confirms that he has a job as a roofer (where he makes $700 per week), and is clean and sober. As for rumors to the contrary, Courty insists that it's just his baby mama, Taylor Lewis, trying to make him look bad. "My baby momma has recently out of nowhere realized that she can be heard now since I date jenelle and thinks that it's cool to try and get fame by putting me down on being a father," he explains, adding "I love my daughter with all my heart and Taylor honestly knows that she has even said it to me before."
Courtland also insists that Taylor is an unfit mother to their daughter, JaJa. "I am so scared that something tragic is going to happen to my innocent daughter," he says. "I WANT MY DAUGHTER SAFE!"
Looks like Courtland is willing to take his baby mama to court! Perhaps the reason he and Jenelle rushed into marriage was to give JaJa a stable environment?

Comments: I bought this Pacific Basalt-X Black Thermal XL Bag for interclub tennis
use. It's a really good size for a two racquet arrangement with room for all the bits needed
for an evening of tennis. The compartment idea is very good to help stay a bit more
organized and the compartments have some flexibility in what can go in each one. It's very
well made - sturdy and good quality. One day some company will put an organizer
series of pockets in one of these bags to hold a wallet, touchscreen phone and keys
individually. That would be perfection in a tennis bag. Easy enough to do you would
have thought. Anyways, this is a great bag.
From: Steve, 9/12
Comments: The Pacific Basalt-X Black Thermal XL Bag is an awesome bag! It keeps everything nice and
organized in the individual pockets, plenty of space for gear, clothing, balls, etc. Love
the separate thermal racquet compartment as well. Straps work in a
variety of ways, I use it over the shoulder with one strap detached.
This is a great purchase and worth every penny.
From: T.J., 7/12
Comments: The Pacific Basalt-X Black Thermal XL Bag is a really awesome tennis bag! Some of the really
big ones look really
ridiculous when you're just a club player, but this one has enough room for 3 racquets
and then all of your other stuff, nicely organized into the pockets. Great job by Pacific!!

Comments: I bought this XL bag bag because I was tired of the ridiculous unorganized hurricane that
happens when you lift up a tennis bag. I previously owned the Babolat Aero 6 pack, which is a bit bigger than the Pacific XL
Thermal, but I love the design of the Pacific XL. The compartments definitely keep my large items organized with up to two cans
of balls fitting in the smaller compartment, clothes and warm up gear in the middle, and shoes in the last pocket. The only thing
that I didn't like is that there was no separate organizing compartment/zippers (like the Aero 6 has) in the side pocket, and no top
quick grab handle. A well designed bag, I've already received a ton of compliments on mine on the court. It just screams sleek and
From: Duke, 12/11
Comments: Well, I can honestly say this XL bagis the single coolest bag I've ever used. I completely love
the separate compartment for shoes (a must!). The middle section has more than enough room for post-match clothes and even
room left over for warmup pants, etc. he small front compartment is just enough for my two ball-saver cans too! I had no
problem getting five racquets in the thermal section. Four is a better 'fit', but in a pinch, five will go in there. Solid construction,
great style, and even better design. Finally!

Comments: Previously, I owned a Wilson BLX triple bag and it's clear that the Pacific Basalt-X Black Pro Thermal 2XLFrom:
Comments: I will tell you why this Pacific Basalt-X Black ThermalXL bag is a good bag and it stands above
everything else. I have had several 6-9-12 racquet bags and an open bag design is not good. Yes, they are really roomy and have
their advantages. However whenever you lift your bag like a backpack, everything becomes a mess inside. I had to resort to
getting plastic shopping bags to keep it organized. Sometimes it still gets unorganized inside. This causes unwanted shuffling
when you need something really badly. Therefore, this bag is great because nothing gets misplaced it's always where you want it
to be. I can shake it like a chicken in a bag but the results are the same. I have been waiting for a long time for someone/some
company to give some thought. I could use a bit more smaller compartments, but it will do. 4 racquets fit perfectly inside and no
more. Perfect for a club player like myself and sometimes a traveling player. Many thanks to Pacific. It's about time designers used
some reason.
From: John, 9/11
Comments: The Pacific Basalt-X Thermal XL bag is a great compact size for serious club players; thermo
section fits 3x racquets while the other main section is split into 3x compartments to provide separate dedicated space for your
other gear. It is a commendable idea but diminishes valuable free space - they should've left it one large section so more rackets
could be stored if required. Superbly constructed with the highest grade materials - this bag exudes quality and strength and is
unquestionably the highest quality bag range in the market right now. Materials and construction are a notch above Babolat's
Team Line, and miles ahead of Wilson and Head.
