Meet the press.
Grant Gallicho March 16, 2013 - 7:56am
ROME -- At his first meeting with the media, Pope Francis continued to impress, charming the five-thousand-plus journalists in attendance with gestures of humility, his sense of humor, and suggestive comments about the direction he wants to lead the church.
He was introduced by Archbishop Claudio Celli, who heads the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. Celli spoke in Italian and English, praising the press for the "positive role" it played "once again" in reporting the church to the world. He also highlighted the "freedom and autonomy of those who work in the media," thanking them for "their human and intellectual passion." The "diversity of media professionals," he continued, "adds to our understanding of the richness of reality." Francis listened intently from his chair, about twenty feet from Celli. And when the archbishop finished speaking, Francis stood and walked over to Celli to thank him for the remarks. (Popes don't really do that.)
Francis spoke in Italian and from a text, though he ad libbed throughout the address -- noting at the outset that "you have been busy." Of course the press ate it up. But he also reflected on the difficulty of covering an event like the election of a pope. "The nature of the church is spiritual, not political.... Christ is the center, not the successor of Peter."
Going off script, he explained how "the bishop of Rome came to call himself Francis." As it became clear that he was about to be elected pope, his friend Cardinal Claudio Hummes comforted him:
"He hugged me. He kissed me. He said don't forget about the poor," Francis said. "And that word went in here," he said, pointing at his head. "And that's how in my heart came the name Francis of Assisi...for me is a man of poverty, a man of peace, a man who loved and protected creation. Right now our relations with Creation are not going very well." Francis of Assisi "gives us this spirit of peace, the poor man who wanted a poor church," the pope explained. "How I would love a church that is poor and for the poor."
Some cardinals had joked that he should have taken other names.
Ah, you should have called yourself Adrian, no, because Adrian VI was a reformer and we need reform! And another said to me, No, no you should have called yourself Clement. But why Clement? Clement XV -- so you would have taken revenge on Clement XIV, who suppressed the Society of Jesus!
But Francis also had a serious message for the world's media. He spoke of "the trinity of communication: truth, goodness and beauty." "We are not called to communicate ourselves. The church exists to communicate truth, goodness and beauty."
He concluded in rather stunning fashion. Instead of offering his apostolic blessing aloud, he gave it in silence, acknowledging (in Spanish) that "not everyone present is a member of the Catholic faith, and others do not believe." He continued, "I respect the conscience of all of you, knowing that each one of you is a child of God. May God bless you."
As he walked off stage, uproarious applause filled the room.
Commenting Guidelines
I'm with Jean: beautiful, hopeful, surprising, etc., but I don't want to get carried away until some actual decisions happen.
The shoes of the Pope:http://sullydish.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/163792383.jpgIts encouraging to see someone who presents himself as a real person rather than as a character playing a role.
A proper piece of journalism here.Nice job!
I'm surprised the press hasn't investigated this lead: the name Francis may have been taken as a tribute to Francis I, Francois Premier, autocratic King of France (1494 - 1547). He strengthened the monarchy and made overtures to Muslims. Look for more of the same.
From Marco Politi, vaticanist of La Repubblica, analysis that I dearly hope is not just wishful thinking:
Pope Francis described Pope Benedicts resignation as a courageous and humble gesture. Benedict has demythologized the figure of the Supreme Pontiff, has taken away its sacralization, humanizing it and making it more humble. He has thus stressed its character as service and not as idolatrous power incarnate in a quasi-supernatural person. In the breach opened by Ratzinger, Pope Bergoglio is proceeding on this path, convinced that to enter into communication with contemporary humanity requires a resolute return to the essence of the Gospel. From his first moment Francis has presented himself as Bishop of Rome, consistently referring to the cardinals, most of them archbishops of dioceses throughout the world, as brothers. It is the representation of a bishop-pope and not of an emperor-pope who with his red mantle and his purple shoes appeared for more than a millennium as an absolute monarch. The triple crown of the triregno symbolized that the pope was above any earthly authority. Thus gradually Francis is dismantling the power-papacy of Gregory VII, the absolutism of the Council of Trent, the claimed infallibility of Pius IX. The emphasis in his first speech to the crowd in St. Peters Square that the Church of Rome presides in love over all the Churchesa formula from the first centuries of Christianitypresents the Holy See not as the center of bureaucratic power but as an instrument of unity: a concept fit both for realizing the principle of collegiality within the Catholic Church and for favoring dialogue with the other Christian Churches. For this remodeling of the papacy in the direction of collegiality and thus of a government of the Catholic Church effected by the pontiff in close collaboration with the episcopates, the American wind that blew over the Conclave played a role. If German and French theologians put their mark on the Second Vatican Council, the role of the American cardinals was central in making room in 2013 for a more modern conclave and pre-conclave. It was because of their energy and communication-skillsalthough not exclusivelythat the preliminary meetings of the cardinals were marked by great concreteness in the analysis of situations and of the evils of todays Church. Its because of them that in the conclave tactical games were set aside and the victorious candidate was quickly identified. They became a point of reference for the many episcopates that are seeking to participate in the strategic decisions of the papacy. Next Tuesday, with the inaugural Mass, begins, then, a strongly innovative phase for the pontificate as an institution and for the Catholic Church as a whole. The next months will tell whether Francis will also succeed in creating a team to support him in this strategy.
Thank you, Grant. Another display of simplicity and humanity. The end of the papal court continues. And courtiers.---The Vatican issued a communication today that states that Pope Francis has provisionally (donec aliter provideatur) confirmed all present curial heads of departments in their various offices (prefects, presidents, and secretaries [the number two slots]). BUT, he wishes to have time for prayer and reflection before making any final decisions. This is significant.
" this remodeling of the papacy in the direction of collegiality and thus of a government of the Catholic Church effected by the pontiff in close collaboration with the episcopates "Vatican II promised that and so did Paul VI and it did not happen. Will it happen now? Or will we get a cosmetically adjusted centralism?
"BUT, he wishes to have time for prayer and reflection before making any final decisions. This is significant."How is that different from the usual procedure?
Lovely article, Grant. It must have been thrilling to be there.So many good signs already, including the silent blessing.
Joseph O'Leary:It is different in that the official "Comunicato" makes this explicit. It could have ended with the bald announcement of the provisional re-appointments. I stand then by my decision to highlight "but."
@Patrick Malloy. What a disappointing comment.
Loved: "Christ is not the successor of Peter"! Thanks Grant.
The Forward has a short account of Francis's only book: A dialogue with a rabbi in Spanish.http://forward.com/articles/173039/pope-francis-i-speaks-on-holocaust-is...
Well, he knows how to work a room with poise and dignity. No snarky remarks about press coverage, I assume from Grant's report. Acknowledging that those of all faiths are children of God was lovely. Is the Pope of Everybody back?But this is the "honeymoon," no? Pope Francis can certain use these early days to set a tenor for his papacy. What he is able to accomplish and how has yet to be determined. But as a disaffected Catholic, I feel inspired to look into my own heart and ask what I have done lately to focus on the poor and marginalized.
I don't think that's his only book, Margaret. CNS says he has written "books on spirituality and meditation."But it's this one that is flying off Amazon's shelves:#1 in Books > Libros en espaol > Religin y espiritualidad > Estudios Religiosos#1 in Books > Libros en espaol > Religin y espiritualidad > Judasmo#1 in Books > Libros en espaol > Religin y espiritualidad > Cristianismo > Teologahttp://www.amazon.com/Sobre-tierra-Spanish-Edition-ebook/dp/B007KD7D4Q/r...
Thanks for this piece, Grant. Very interesting to see how the press corps reacted.
Le Monde reports on the press conference:Francis will have lunch with Benedict next Saturday at Castelgondolfo. He will take some time for "thought, prayer and dialog" before naming new people to curial posts or reappointing those who previously served.He would like a "a poor Church for poor people"http://religion.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/03/16/le-pape-qui-embrasse-veut-une...
Donec aliter provideatur:"Vatican City, 16 March 2013 (VIS) Holy Father Francis has expressed the desire that the Heads and members of the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia, as well as their Secretaries, and also the President of the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State, continue "donec aliter provideatur", that is, provisionally, in their respective positions. The Holy Father wishes to reserve time for reflection, prayer, and dialogue before any final appointment or confirmation is made."http://www.news.va/en/news/holy-father-provisionally-confirms-heads-and-...
You should set up camp in Rome, Grant.
Thank you, John Hayes, for the English version of the Vatican's communication. I wrote too quickly, and left out the important word "dialogue."
Francis I of France also was a great patron of the arts. His love of beauty had a great influence on French culture, and Pope Francis also sees the importance of beauty in every human life. Wouldn't it be great if his appreciation of beauty lead to a new aesthetic -- one that values simplicity but without the sterility of the minimalism we find today.
Reporters were enamored by JFK and also gave him a round of applause after his first news conference. The difference is that Bergoglio did not act any different than he has been for the last few decades. Most people have a sense of justice. I think that is why so many are drawn to Francis. Rome has usually devoured a reformer like Francis. The difference today is that communication is instantaneous so it will be hard to act in secret. Francis has certainly electrified most everyone. These months will be exciting.
Thank you Grant, and thank you Fr. Komonchak for the Politi article. Speriamo, as they say in Rome. Perhaps we can drop the term "ecclesial communitie," and get back to calling the institutions of our fellow Christians "churches."I also read somewhere that Archbp. Bergoglio never got around to instituting the new liturgical translations in the archdiocese of Buenos Aires. I don't know whether the Spanish translations were as ghastly as some of the English, but if he could get away with that in his pre-papal condition, why could not we in the US? Francis strikes me as the sort of man who woudl call a "cup" a "cup," and would not feel the need to promote it (or demote it, if you will) to "chalice."There's been one miracle already, and that is that after a few initial blunders with the name Bergoglio, American broadcasters seem finally to have been learning how that "gli" works in Italian.
Sandro Magister has some wonderful quotes from the new pope:http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1350469?eng=y
Anthony Andreass,Apologies - I thought my comment was so obviously made tongue in cheek that it needed no emoticon. I was wrong. Next time I'll use this:: - Jhttp://pc.net/emoticons/smiley/tongue_in_cheekFor the record, I don't believe Pope Francis is in any way a covert devotee of Francis I of France.
I wish I could find this story somewhere oher than the Daily Mail. If it's true, its strange that no one else has reported it:"So when the appearance of a disgraced cardinal threatened to cast a shadow over his first engagement, Francis I made sure it couldnt happen again - by banning him from his own church.Cardinal Bernard Law resigned as Archbishop of Boston in 2002, after being accused of actively covering up for a litany of paedophile priests.'Despite the scandal which exploded to engulf the entire church, he was given an honorary position at the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome.Though now retired, the cardinal still enjoys a grace and favour apartment in the cathedral complex.So hearing that the new Pope was offering prayers at the very same church, it seems he couldnt resist a discreet peak.But when Pope Francis recognised him, he immediately ordered that Law be removed, according to Italian media reports. He went on to command: He is not to come to this church any more.One of the new Popes first acts will be to arrange new cloistered accommodation for the disgraced cardinal, the Italian daily, Il Fatto Quotidiano, reported.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2293785/Pope-bus-Francis-shows-h...
Fr. Rosica says it didn't happen:"The Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, however, reported that Francis had told Law to stop appearing in public at the basilica, where he retired as Archpriest in November 2011. The report also said that the new pope, as his first act of purification, is preparing to dispatch the 81-year-old Law to a cloistered monastery.Basilian Fr. Thomas Rosica, whos acting as an assistant Vatican spokesperson during the papal transition, told NCR today that those reports are "completely and totally false"http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/report-pope-exile-law-totally-false...
Can someone interpret this photo in the NY Times of March 16, 2013?http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2013/03/16/world/0316VATICAN02.html----It shows a new placard affixed to a wall in Buenos Aires, a photo of the Pope, titled Francis I, Argentino y Peronista.Is that an approbation or an accusation? What meaning is behind it?----Juan Peron died in 1974, four years after Jorge Bergoglio was ordained. I presume some Peronistas survive, but I don't know whether they currently are considered left or right or whatever.
It did not happen.
The story was "reported" widely by people who should have known better. It was never believable.
" How I would love a church that is poor and for the poor.my Franciscan parish allows the homeless to sleep in the pews from 6am to 12 noon when the Mass starts on weekdays. . [and there have been critics.] Now the nearby Jesuit parich wants to meet with the director of the Gubbio Project to see what's involved. Volunteers clean pews and floors daily www.thegubbioproject.org/video.a short video of what the new Church will look like!!
Thanks, Joseph, 3:09:Quoting de Lubac! And the reference to the Japanese Christians.
Somehow, Monty Python and the Cup just doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
Naive dope that I am, I was really hopeful when I saw in the news that Francis had dismissed Law. Now I'll go back to being my usual cynical self :(
"I respect the conscience of all of you..."Telling.Promising?(the "trads" must be cringing)
Guardian gives an English language review of Francis's book "Sobre el Cielo y la Terra":""The idea that celibacy produces paedophiles can be forgotten," he says. "If a priest is a paedophile, he is so before he becomes a priest. But when this happens you must never look away. You cannot be in a position of power and use it to destroy the life of another person."Bergoglio says he has never had to deal with such a case, but when a bishop asked what he should do, he told him the priest should be sacked and tried, that putting the church's reputation first was a mistake."I think that is the solution that was once proposed in the United States; of switching them to other parishes," he says. "That is stupid, because the priest continues to carry the problem in his backpack." The only answer to the problem, he adds, is zero tolerance.The church, he says, has been through worse times. "There have been corrupt periods. There were very difficult periods, but the religion revived itself."He also recognises that the church must move with the times and be in constant transformation. "If, throughout history, the church has changed so much, I do not see why we should not adapt it to the culture of the [our] time," he says.But he sticks to Catholic dogma on key issues, writing off gay marriage as "an anthropological reverse".Abortion is a scientific problem that is separate "from any religious concept"."Preventing the development of a being that already has the genetic code of a human being is not ethical," he says.Some of his harshest words are for ultra-conservatives who put obedience of church rules above everything else. "There are sectors within the religions that are so prescriptive that they forget the human side," he says.That may explain why, according to a leaked cardinal's diary from the 2005 papal conclave, he allegedly once criticised anti-condom zealots as wanting to "stick the whole world inside a condom".Read more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/15/pope-francis-book-radical-pr...
There is a story that before Cardinal Bergoglio left Buenos Aires his friends told him that he needed new shoes. He rarely buys anything for himself. And so they gave him the shoes as a gift.Also, the miter that he wore for the Mass with the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday is the one he brought with him, rather than one from the papal sacristy. You can find pictures of him wearing the same miter in several instances when he was celebrating Mass in Buenos Aires. Perhaps it's the only one he has.Even though he spoke (off-the-cuff) in Italian, just watching him explain why he chose the name Francis is very moving. I would recommend the video found on the La Repubblica site, though I'm not up to linking it. (The pope's Italian is good, but not pitch perfect. It gets corrected in the texts found on the Vatican site.)
John Page, I think this is the link:http://video.repubblica.it/dossier/il-nuovo-papa/papa-ho-scelto-francesc...
Patrick ==You don't have to be a "devotee" of someone to recognize a very special virtue in them. The poor need beauty as much as anyone else, probably even more. Depriving people of beauty is as bad as depriving them of bread. One of the terrible things about being poor is being constantly surrounded by ugliness and decay. Food and health are not enough for a decent human life, and I won't be surprised when Francis reminds us of this.
John Hayes: here is a Spanish source:http://www.periodistadigital.com/religion/vaticano/2013/03/15/francisco-... person who sent it to me later indicated that it is being reported (but I don't know where) that it is a made-up story in a type of supermarket tabloid.That doesn't mean that it is or isn't true, but that it needs reputable research. The story has evidently gone viral, however.That just proves how hopeful people are for substantive change. First moves on Francis' part will be so very indicative of what and how he thinks. I hope he doesn't blow it by being overly cautious.
Thanks for the link to Magister, JAK. Francis' statements about not being bound by one's preconceptions of what is right is very hopeful. Given his emphasis on empathizing with the poor including poor women hopefully he might get around to looking at contraception again.
Jim McCrea:The story has been denied by the Vatican press spokesmen, and Grant Gallicho, who is in Rome, has denied it twice above.---Yes, we have to see what decisions eventuate over time. The pope is a moderate conservative, as are pretty much all the cardinals. No surprise.But he has, I submit, already made several decisions.1. From his appearance on the balcony, he has continued to speak of himself as "bishop of Rome."2. An evident preference for the poor and being a pastor, and a resistance to being put on a pedestal.3. Simplicity in his liturgical style and in his style of dressing. By the rules of the game, he should have appeared on the balcony wearing the red shoulder cape trimmed in ermine that Benedict XVI brought back after several decades of disuse. He should also have worn a more elaborate cross on a gold chord. It is said by a number of sources that he simply refused.4. His decision today not to automatically re-appoint the Curial heads, as Benedict XVI did.Something is adding up here. Major changes, probably not. But more compassion in applying current teachings.Save one, a preference for governing WITH the bishops, particularly in respecting the role, much diminished in recent years, of bishops' conferences. The conferences and the periodic Synods of Bishops will be favored over the now lopsided power of the Roman Curia.I think he will have to act quickly so as not to allow opponents to out-manuever him.We'll see, but it will be good to pray for "Francis, our pope" at Mass tomorrow.
Here is the ritual for he installation of Francis on Tuesday. Interesting that it identifies him as "Bishop of Rome" http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/libretti/2013/20130319_inizi..."Mass for the Beginning of the Petrine Ministry of Francis, Bishop of Rome" The Mass is in Latin with the first reading in English, responsorial psalm in Italian, second reading in Spanish and the Gospel read in Greek. Eucharistic Prayer I is used
In one of the profiles of Bergoglio before the conclave, an anonymous cardinal was reported as saying that "Four years of him would be enough to change things" (or words to that effect). The Guardian's report from the neighborhood where Pope Francis grew up has this interesting section:
As a Jesuit an order founded by a general and organised on military lines Bergoglio demands discipline. When he was made vicar general of Flores in 1992, he insisted that church authorities reveal the properties they owned. The senior padre in charge of episcopal finances, Jose Luis Mollaghan, tried to block the initiative. Bergoglio did not forgive or forget. When he became archbishop, he shuffled Molaghan out of his post, along with another cleric who opposed him, Hector Aguer...."Slowly and strategically, he will introduce changes as he becomes more powerful and others become weaker. Until now, no pope has been able to do that," said Bresci, who predicts the transformation to be the biggest in half a century or more."He will be strict on finance. There will be zero tolerance of sexual abuse and homosexual liaisons by priests. This is his style. It comes from Flores."
Denial isn't always the same as the truth. We shall wait and see.
http://mundabor.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/when-solidarity-goes-wrong/The hatchets are already coming out from some who question the new pope's commitment to the preferential option for the poor. From what I've seen of Pope Francis so far, he seems up to handling the criticism that could shorten his honeymoon (no pun intended) period.
Looking good:"Earlier, Francis celebrated his first Sunday mass as pontiff in the Vatican's small and simple parish church, rather than in St Peter's Basilica.Before he entered the church, Pope Francis, 76, greeted well-wishers who had lined up outside a nearby Vatican gate shouting "Francesco" - his name in Italian....At the end of the Sunday Mass, he waited outside the church and greeted people as they left, like a parish priest, asking many of them to, "pray for me".http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21820478
Refusing elaborate dress he is reported to have said: "The carnival is over."\He also refrained from a polyglot display at the Angelus, another break withthe "carnival".
I'd suggest for the time being treating our Pope more like a Barolo, let the man breathe.

NORTH AUGUSTA The Jackets were able to get a win, but it sure wasnt easy.
North Augusta (11-4, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA) got a win in front of its home crowd, and it was a total team effort. Four Jackets TJ Sheppard, Kenny Finley, Christian Davis and Tavarez Hall scored in double-digits, and a fifth, Chandler Harrison, scored nine.
Thats what we believe in; we preach it all the time, North Augusta head coach Al Young said about the teams spread the wealth mentality. It doesnt always happen, but thats what we want to do. We want to take good shots; we dont care who it is. I think our kids can score; just get the ball to the right guy and have him score.
Sheppard was the high scorer for the Jackets with 18. Late in the game, he suffered a bloody nose on a hit and was forced to the bench.
The Jackets got a challenge from White Knoll (11-6, 1-1) despite the final spread. White Knoll came back multiple times and closed the gap to two at the end of the second and third quarters.
Emarius Logan, who had a game-high 21 points, constantly made big shots for the Timberwolves, including three 3-pointers. As a team, White Knoll had eight 3s on the night.
It was the forth quarter where the game was won, however, as the Jacket defense clamped down and held the Timberwolves to six points.
I called a timeout and talked about how we just needed to keep doing what we were doing, Young said.
We just needed to make sure we werent panicking and that we werent giving them opportunities. We needed to play good defense and stop gambling, and just make them make shots and not give them easy baskets.
It was an especially big win for North Augusta to avoid going down to an 0-2 hole in the region.
Its important, especially early on; we cant just drop off Young said. We certainly cant lose at home. Its difficult to go on the road and win, so we cant give up those home games. This was a big game for us, and if we didnt win now wed be down 0-2, and thats not a place you want to be.
The Jackets will be back in action on Tuesday when they travel to South Aiken.
North Augusta (11-4, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA)TJ Sheppard 8 0-0 18, Kenny Finley 7 1-4 15, Christian Davis 4 2-2 11, Tavarez Hall 5 0-2 10, Chandler Harrison 2 4-6 9, Steven Copeland 1 0-0 3. Totals 27 7-14 66.
3-pointers: Sheppard (2), Davis, Harrison, Copeland.
White Knoll (11-6, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA)Emarius Logan 8 3-4 21, Julian Johnson 7 0-0 16, Najee Garvin 3 0-0 8, Brandon Tillman 1 3-3 6, Chris Dorrah 0 2-2 2, TJ Knight 1 0-0 2. Totals: 20 8-9 55.
3-pointers: Logan (3), Johnson (2), Garvin (2), Tillman.
The North Augusta girls evened their region record and picked up a home win over White Knoll.
Mallory Stone had 16 points, Jasmine Coach had 15 and JaLyn Sanders had 14 to lead the Jackets (7-3, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA) over the Timberwolves (7-6, 0-2 Region 5-AAAA).
White Knoll managed to pull within one point multiple times before taking its first lead 37-36 in the third quarter.
I think in the third quarter, we started playing their game instead of our game, North Augsuta head coach Crystal Cummings said. In the first half we were pushing the ball when we had the open transition layups, and we would set it up if we didnt have anything open. In the third quarter they started rushing everything and trying to force stuff instead of letting the defense come to them to create out offense. During the timeouts I told them Settle down, lets play our game and not their game.
Cummings Jackets responded with a 20-point fourth quarter, and their defense held White Knoll to seven points.
They started pressing us, and we have a press breaker that allows us to get out and get open layups thanks to the mismatch that comes with the press, Cummings said. So we were just running that right, and once we get those they get themselves back in the game.
North Augusta (7-3, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA)Mallory Stones 7 2-5 16, Jasmine Coach 6 3-5 15, JaLyn Sanders 6 2-5 14, Brianna Dicks 2 0-0 4, Arielle Houston 2 0-1 4, Desmonet Wilson 2 0-0 4, Cydney Mathews 1 1-2 3. Totals 26 8-20 60.

Sounds like a great plan to me! Even though I'm a few years behind you I too do not wish to "turn back the clock." I am not the same person now as I was in my youth. My teenagers and all their drama also remind me daily that those days were not my favorite. There were no tragedies or anything like that; I just have enjoyed more life since then than I enjoyed then. Does that even make sense? Our first bird leaves the nest this year and I know that will be a challenge for me, but instead of wishing for times gone by, I am going to try and look forward to what we have ahead of us. Life is what we make it and like you, I'm all about taking hold of it and living it fully :)

What a beautiful post. Molly! I was nodding my head in recognition or agreement the entire time. Not only are we at the same stage in life (though no grandchildren on my horizon just yet), we have many similar interests. In addition to reading great books, I look forward to a 2011 filled with travel, more cooking, learning photography, rediscovering knitting...

What an awesome wrap up post about 2010 Molly. It sounds as you've done lots of meaningful reflection...how great for you.

Good for you! I remember turning fifty quite fondly. I feel so much more confident these days, so clear about what I want and do not want in my life.
I'm planning to take a photography class this semester. I hope you find a way to learn new things, too.
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that you will enjoy some travel time this year.

What an insightful post! It has been fun reading along with your year of self-discovery. 2011 is my "50th" year. I hope I can have your positive attitude and look forward rather than backward.
Have a great 2011!

Molly, you definitely have a beautiful style of writing and it's so honest and sincere. I enjoyed reading about your self reflection and self discoveries and what a perfect defining word for 2011, purposeful. I look forward to continuing to read about your journey! I'm still on my journey of self discovery as I inch toward 5-0 in a year and a half and I will have a teenager then.

You are a gifted writer. I eagerly look forward to your Sunday posts and this one really struck a chord with me. I will turn 42 in Feb. and now after reading your eloquent thoughts I too have become a bit more reflective in regards to what interests me, what do I like to do? I love to scrapbook but haven't done one page this year...how horrible is that?? I also like to cross stitch but haven't done it once either. I need to make time for myself too....thanks for the nudge!

Bravo! I am just a few years younger, but I admire your goals and should aim to emulate them myself. A wonderful and inspiring post!

Wow! What an insightful post and a template for many of us to follow, Molly.
Self-discovery is so rewarding, though the process can be sometimes painful and I am often resistant to it. The decades come faster now, for sure (I have a good 10 years on you - try to catch up to me), but, it is such a wonderful time of life, especially with relatively good health. A new baby on the way just sweetens the pot.
Happy New Year.

You really have had a great year of self-discovery! Have you really never been snowed in? Or are you hoping to be snowed in someplace more fun that your own house?!

Your travel musing has me musing myself. But the house will keep us from doing too much of that. But you suddenly have me wanting to watch a bunch of my favorite films that take place in Italy.

love this post--reflecting and setting goals is so important. my husband and i really try to do things today instead of waiting for 'later'. we've taken 3 epic road trips across the country and those experiences are so meaningful to us. when we told our family and friends what we were planning, most expressed a desire to do the same. for us it's all about doing...not waiting! :) wishing you a wonderful year in which you continue to reach personal goals and check items off your bucket list!

I've enjoyed hearing about your journey of self discover in 2010 and look forward to all you can share in 2011. You are so right about taking the reigns and living NOW instead of "some day". You are an inspiration!

Absolutely! Live that life now. I feel exactly the same way you do. Lots of self-reflection this year. We have very little control over outside life and can only adapt but what we do with our lives can be somewhat controlled. My word for next year is Relax.

Embrace life! I would love for you to participate in Weekend COoking, but it should never be a burden. Join in when the mood hits.
I love having goals, even if some of them are unrealistic -- but I like the journey as much or more than the destination.

This is the best of both worlds: the tastiest cut, the rib, delivered on the bone. And you know what they say: the sweetest meat is closest to the bone. We agree.Every household has at least one fan who's mad for beef-on-the-bone. Debragga's Dry Aged Cowboy Steak delivers that total STEAK experience every time. And when you show off that thick, juicy steak, hot off the grill with the rib bone attached, mouths will be watering.

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 60 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TSquirrel Great thermal This is a great top, a little hard to style at first with the over scalloped hem. I made the mistake of purchasing a medium, which I thought would fit fine being that I am 5'9, 125lbs, 34c bust, however this is SO BIG, I can't wear it out, so it has turned into a fabulous sleep shirt. However, I do plan on purchasing this top again just in an extra small, maybe a small. This top also has a tendency to stretch out badly, so keep that in mind when sizing. 4.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by xykontos must own literally my favorite article of clothing. the material is warm and so soft and stays that way even after washing. i wish it came in more colors! 2.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JaimeJ Slouchy, but sexy fit! I'm 5'4" / 130 pounds and got this in Small. Perfect length and sizing. Oversized fit, but is sexy and comfortable. 1.7.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MeganW As expected I'm an Aussie size 16/XL in most standard clothing and I ordered this in a L after reading other reviews. Fits perfectly as I expected it would being a loose fit casual top. The sleeves are verrrry long! The neckline is good - and can be worn without the drop shoulder with no issues. Colour is more of a creamy white than a beige white as it looked on screen. 7.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by eb1730 Favorite thermal I got this thermal last fall in the ivory and the mint and plan on getting the salmon now as well. This thermal is really one of my favorites and is so easy to wear. I have paired mine with leggings or jeans in the fall with the back long enough to cover my butt, which I like. I am around 5'7", 135lbs and the small fits great 7.7.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by cc822 Ehh I was looking for something loose and comfy that I could wear over a pair of leggings or yoga pants, and this seemed to fit the bill. I'm 5'7'' 135lb and got the Ivory color in size small. When I pulled it out of the box, I thought I loved it. The fabric is SO soft and cozy, and the ivory is a nice color. However, the fit isn't great. I knew the sides were sort and the front/back were longer, but this just didn't work on me. It wound up making my butt look huge, my chest looked small, and to be honest it wasn't that comfortable. I would have liked the neck-line to be a little lower-cut. And I have a huge problem wearing things with tight sleeves. The sleeves weren't THAT tight, but not something I would want to roll up. Also, the seams half-way down the bicepts look more like they belong on shoulders than arms. Overall, it was not the look I was searching for. I'll be sad to see such nice fabric go, but I'm planning on returning it for a differently styled sweater. 6.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LaneOfTheLake Love this top I am so in love with the Billie Jean Thermal! I have 2 and will certainly buy more when they make some colors I like. These are the perfect weight and quality for the price. They seem to be flattering on everyone who wears them regardless of the size. They do run large as other's have stated, but that just makes them all the more comfortable. 5.30.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aleeme Just Perfect I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this product. This item was one of my first order at FP and I was gladly surprised by how well it fits me and the beautiful and brightful color that is has. xoxo 4.11.2013

I have gained and lost the same ten pounds so many times over and over again my cellulite must have déjà vu.

Back to top.
We always talk about how we want to lose weight. But that's not really what we mean. When we talk about losing weight, we're really talking about losing fat, getting rid of the spare tire, turning the keg into a six-pack. It's about more than getting ready for swimsuit season or squeezing back into your "skinny" jeans, though. (More importantly, it's about having a healthy body fat amount so we don't put ourselves at risk for myriad diseases.) After all, our bodies need some fat. Fat is responsible for regulating our body temperature. It insulates our vital organs. It stores energy that our bodies draw on to function. Not to mention, everyone wants a few strategically placed curves, and you can't get them with just bone and muscle. So, what exactly is a healthy body fat amount?
Any activity will go a long way toward reducing body fat percentage. And health professionals advise that even a modest decrease in body fat percentage will have extraordinary health benefits. So even if achieving your ideal supermodel weight seems impossibly far away, you can really increase your quality of life by making a few minor changes in your activity level and diet. Engaging in a comprehensive program like
ChaLEAN Extreme, which encompasses resistance training and aerobic exercise, as well as a healthy diet, is a great place to start. Here's to seeing less of us!

We've all heard the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It explains why someone might fall in love and marry a person whom someone else would never even notice. And yet, there are markers of physical attractiveness that are said to be universal, not only across cultures but throughout time. Turns out, one in particular is also a pretty accurate indicator of the shape you're in. Read on to see what your waist and hips have to do with the health of your heart.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention depend on BMI to define obesity and measure people's health risks, especially the risks for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. (See "What Does It Mean to Be 'Fat'?", in Related Articles below, to find out about your body mass, how to calculate your BMI, and why it's a number you should know.) It's easy to calculate BMI and convenient to use, as it's simply a ratio of a person's height and weight. But since BMI doesn't account for the difference between fat and fat-free mass, like muscle, a pro linebacker could have the same BMI as someone overweight and out of shape. The linebacker's weight might be mostly muscle whereas the obese person's weight would be mostly fat. In the eyes of WHO, though, the healthy linebacker would also be called "obese." And that bothers researchers who would like more accurate measurements of health risks.
Another problem with BMI is that it doesn't take into consideration where your fat is stored on your body. As
Project:YOU! Type 2™ creator Kathy Smith noted in "5 Tips to Burn Body Fat" (see Related Articles below), abdominal fat is far worse than fat anywhere else on your body. It explains why people with identical BMI numbers—people who are the same height and weight—may not have the same health risks. People with apple-shaped bodies, who store fat around their waists, are more at risk than pear-shaped people, who store fat in their hips and booties. (See "How to Fix Where you Get Fat" in Related Articles below for more on apples and pears.)
In 2003, an Australian study concluded that the waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a better predictor of death from cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease than BMI. Researchers noted that WHR has a more universal application and is more appropriate for ethnically diverse populations. A couple of years later, a Canadian study confirmed these findings and asserted that WHR is three times more accurate than BMI at predicting heart attack risk. And in 2006, a London study found that WHR was a more accurate measurement of the mortality rate in older people (over 75 years old). An older person may have a "healthy" BMI number, maybe even the same BMI number they've always had, but because people lose bone and muscle mass as they age, and BMI doesn't distinguish fat from bone or muscle (only height and weight matter), the weight an older person loses in muscle and bone may be replaced with fat. That's why WHR is a much better indicator of an older person's health risk, as the distribution of his or her fat is more crucial than his or her height-weight ratio.
The first to theorize about the significance of WHR was the evolutionary psychologist Dr. Devendra Singh. He was interested in studying the importance of female attractiveness to the propagation of the species. That is, take away the moonlight, the mascara, and the little black dress, and what's left to explain why men want to hook up with women and start families? Evidently, according to Dr. Singh, men are biologically hard-wired to look for markers of attractiveness that coincide with health and fertility, and one such marker is the relation between a woman's waist and hips. A ratio of around 0.7 indicates good levels of estrogen and lower incidences of heart disease and ovarian cancer—a healthy breeder, in other words. Women size up men similarly: the magical WHR number is around 0.9 for men, indicating fertility and good health and less prostate and testicular cancers. The evidence bears it out. Think of our cultural icons of feminine beauty and sex appeal: Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, and Salma Hayek—even the Venus de Milo. They all have WHRs of around 0.7. Different heights, weights, and sizes, but they are all "beautiful" in the same way.
To figure out your WHR, all you need is a measuring tape.
Because it's hard to measure people's waists and hips consistently, WHR has not been adopted by WHO. They still prefer the easy height-weight ratio of BMI, so information pertaining to health risks and obesity continues to be determined by BMI data. But now that you know your own WHR and the implications of a high number (increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer), you can do something to change your odds.
Ramp up your cardio, as that will reduce your overall body fat, and adjust your diet so you're eating in line with the guidelines we propound in Michi's Ladder and our diet guides. Don't slack on your ab work, either. Good, targeted ab routines include Ab Jam (Turbo Jam®),
Slim & 6-Pack (Slim in 6®),
Ab Sculpt (Hip Hop Abs®), and
Ab Ripper X (P90X®). Reduce stress any way you can, as stress makes you crave unhealthy, fattening foods (read up on the kinds of foods you should eat to combat stress and weight gain in "Slim Down with These Stress-Busting Treats" in Related Articles below).
Once you've got your WHR where it should be, you'll look better, feel better, be healthier, and live longer—and that is beautiful.

Is that a screenshot showing the furthest axis advance or just one many that you took but you chose to use because it most supports your point?
You were attacking an fb? Well done, thats what players typically do. Likewise axis would of been making plans to attack lier antwerp FB. What would of happened if they busted that FB? What if this... what if that... that is what your argument runs on.
FB almost allied? What was the percent? How many axis were guarding the FB? For such a critical FB someone would have run a precamp for that FB.
I know you understand that the Antwerp reset was a ginormous blow to Axis resulting in their effectiveness dropping significantly but you like to still think to yourself that you got towns through yours and ce armour columns because of good allied play instead of because the axis veterans had given up caring

Lol one screenshot is proof? You show the chat history for about 3 minutes of game time. How many minutes warning did they give? Typical is 15mins. In that time you can contest verdun and kick the navy out. Thus you could of been trying to cap an uncontested town when you knew the server was going down soon.
And like ce said, if axis had a spawnable in a town they MAY of recapped it. Whats to say there wasn't 20 paras otw from etain to cap the town back? Silly arguments you say? Well if you disagree with those arguments you disagree with ce thoughts (I know your troll buddies).
Also, Verdun=Antwerp? Same significance?
I know who you are now barber lol. Took a few posts, but it all comes out
Could of used mech and yes the zees. Your past okw hc have done it and won maps, so stop trying to once again excuse your lack of map reading skills.
Ill let you and your axis freinds blame twerp, obviously makes you feel better and just. Just remember, supply is what moves maps, not towns.
I'm waiting for Cobray ( depot12) to chime in.

So you believe that all the allied players who have ever quit playing a campaign/ stopped caring about the map over the past few maps once Antwerp and Brussels have falled are 'poosies'. You slander both axis and allied players when you relate the behaviour of players to a negative event happening to a side as them being 'poosies'

The fact that this is not an isolated incident. It's a consistent pattern by CRS that they either want to influence the campaign, or on the other extreme are just inept at keeping the business going without problem after problem after problem. Too much stuff goes on for it to be explained by a one-off.
Why are people not asking why we have to have daily server resets now? When I was playing before 1.34 I could stay connected for 24-48 hours with a MSP up but today there are "emergency" server resets. Maybe CRS might want to fix whatever problem they are having instead of fixing the symptom by rebooting the server. It is obviously having a negative effect on the playerbase either real or imagined.
They try constantly to get people in the game. Lots of people show up but few people stay. Maybe CRS should fix the bugs in 1.34 and have a stable server and client before they try stupid things like putting the game on steam or WBS so when people return the same old bugs and now new ones await them.
But no, instead they think its myself and my new friend axishatr on MMORPG who are "ruining the game". Like we have such influence that they need to send you guys over here to defend your dead game and 8-player server population.
Jsilec shows proof and you have no reasonable answer? That's not suprising lulz

In the history of the game once Antwerp is capped Axis have always gone on to win the campaign, everyone knows that. "supply is what moves maps, not towns." Well done, I bet everyone except you is oblivious to that.
"Ill let you and your axis freinds blame twerp, obviously makes you feel better and just." I think it's more a case of you weighing in and trying to justify that the campaign was won by yourself (and of course you'll diplomatically mention some other squads) as shown by your attitude here and you don't want it diminished

Theres a difference between "lets try and contest and cap this town before the server resets in 15 minutres" and "we have 2/3 CP's left in town we've been attacking for 5+ hours and we're told the server is being reset".
One case it is anticipated, the other it is a 'surprise'
LOL barber, you clearly don't know me. You think I care about what people think of me? If I felt I did this on my own I would say. But I didnt. Marty, myself,shadow64,dfadd,ny75 and others played a huge role.
So having 4-5 of your divs trapped this map is because of twerp? You not guarding bunkers is antwerps fault? Your map oic putting a routed div back into a pocket held off by one town is antwerps fault? That's just a start. Don't make me school you newb.
And yes, the zees push was after TOE. You won that map. Again, id do some timeline research before you post again.
I cant find where to quote.
I didn't say axis spawnable, I said we had OUR spawn. I aslo said if we DIDNT have our spawn it MIGHT be different. Jeez dude learn to read.
Your worse in these forums than wwiiol

You can't put a brigade into a pocket, the move would be denied. Maybe you also missed the threads where axis mass-logged after Antwerp. But keep trying.

You do because you know if people didn't like you they wouldn't go out of their way to help you and without other players your just a lone sherman driving to a town spamming "P1 P1 ROLL ROLL" on chat.
4-5 divs trapped? When was that? Map effectively ended after Liege. I doubt many would care if axis CINC placed all the divs in a pocket today if it would lead to good battles and quicken the end of the campaign. Of course any divisions been trapped is a victory to you whatever the context is.
Please school me, tell me how as an axis player I can lead a tank column to cap a town (as we know the sides are perfectly balanced). I will need atleast 6 paragraphs of your brilliant military thoughts 'schooling' me on armour charges and how to camp a town while the other side is on the load screen
I was asking you a question about it and you answered it. Good boy
Originally posted by CeTheGreat

It MIGHT be different if you had the spawnable.
Same thing. Your trying to backtrack on what you've said. You said that because Antwerp had 1 allied spawnable it was ok for CRS to give the town back to the allies
"Its either a pitty map or nerfed gear I guess? Cause god knows we didn't earn it rigt? You can blame twerp all you want, but how many times have the allies lost a town due to a server reset? Quite a few. Pivitol ciney a few years back, or signy. Happens dude, get over it. And also, we recapped our spawn cp and could of taken it back. Learn the game"
"I hear ya. Id be frustrated too. But the bottom line is that there was a CHANCE we could of recapped. If you owned our spawn cp, yeah maybe not, but you didn't and I'm pretty positive CRS took that into account. And just because historicaly stats say we haven't won without twerp, whos to say we couldn't of came back? Bottom line is that the axis ( some ) always have an excuse for losing a map and they ALWAYS blame bias or nerf. Id love one axis player to simply say " we got our asses handed to us" that's all."
Turning to unfounded personal slander? Really a positive sign that your not on your backfoot. Surprised you only brought jsilec to support you (even when he contradicts you lol)
"verdun is in no way as significant as antwerp BUT it shows that there is precedent to town captures being stopped by the server reset shiit.......i could care less whether the axis had spawns/paras or whatever i just showing that it does happen to both sides like it or not.....vets have cited crs interferrence as the main reason they have unsubbed but are blind to the fact that it does happen to BOTH sides"
Ok let me rephrase. Your moic moved from a back line into a pocket, and the only thing stopping it from being a pocket was a one town link. Better for you to undrrstand?
I didn't realize this was an axis only bitch fest, my bad.
I'm not an armor god, hell my stats prove it. But I am a cheer leader. I boost morale, or try. Unlike the axis side, we have positive members who want to havr fun and join columns. Your mad cause those columns own you. Haters gonna hate I guess.
Your exausting tbh. I don't know how you don't drive yourself crazy
Jsilec doesn't have to agree with what I say. Hes a squaddie and has his own views. Hes our CO and knows the game. Not sure why your bringing him into this, but w/e
What's your wwiiol name? I like to pride myself on being good at indentifying mystery forum posters

It's a good thing I checked my Twitter feed yesterday morning before I put up a different version of this blog post because there was a tweet from Jenny Blake, author of Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want (Running Press, 2011), saying she just quit her job at Google. Yes, that's right. She quit her job at Google, where since 2006 she has been Career Development Program Manager and internal coach. Yes, that Google. The one with gourmet food, a gym, nap rooms; the one that fosters "white space"—that is, time for employees to think about things besides their current project; a top ranking employer-of-choice for college grads (see http://aol.it/iqwdto. Note: AOL classifies this article under "Weird News." Oh, OK, AOL. You the boss.) Judging by the book, and yesterday's blog, http://bit.ly/iZZkKd, she did the right thing. For her. And that's what ultimately important.
If either of my kids ever quit a six-figure job with an amazing employer, you can bet that I'd morph straightaway into Jewish Mother Mode (JMM). I can see the texts I'd be pounding out on my phone, the IMs I'd be sending, and I can hear the silence with which they'd be met. Yup, my kids know how to tune out the nag. But being that I'm not Jenny's mother, I can be a bit more objective. Jenny's book, speaking tour, and blog have become her consuming passion, and she's a big on living your passion.
Life After College, in fact, steers Gen Y to career paths and life journeys that will make them happy, and not—IMPORTANT—necessarily rich. It's a big debate these days, whether colleges (and advisors and parents) should be steering young people to the careers that will put them on the path to an assured income. Going for the bucks is OK for some. Indeed, for many 20-somethings I speak with $$$$$ and lots of it is their goal in life. They focus early on in college and as soon as they graduate (or finish a professional program) they pounce. Satisfaction with self? Sure, they measure that in dollars.
But for all the others out there, the ones who graduate and ask, "now what?" the questions Jenny poses and the marvelous exercises she includes seem to me great tools for directing choices. I like how Jenny invites people to write in her book, kind of like Dr. Seuss's My Book About Me (which my daughter owned and revised many times). This really is a "workbook." Jenny uses icons to demarcate various sections: two pens for the "coaching sessions," a diver for "deep dives," i.e. more in-depth examinations random topics, such as clean sinks. The "Two Cents From Twitter" pages (headed with a red version of the blue Twitter bird) come off as a bit of a gimmick, but crowd-sourcing is a big thing now, and James Suroweicki has certainly convinced me about the wisdom of crowds. So maybe she's right to include snippets of ideas gleaned from her audience. I also wasn't crazy about the inspirational quotes, but that's me. I'm not an inspiration quote person. (I can tell from my Twitter feed that I'm in the minority.)
I would give Jenny's book to any Gen Yer, perhaps as a companion to What Color Is Your Parachute (Ten Speed Press, in its umpteenth edition, and now a great reference for kinds of careers). Jenny is practical, upbeat and full of belief in herself, an attitude that becomes quite contagious, and I would recommend that my fellow baby boomers make sure their kids have copies. Read it yourself first, though, because many pages could turn into "conversation starters." And read it for yourself too. Yes, Jenny is our kids' peer. She is nevertheless a born life coach whose advice cum way-of-thinking suits any age group. We could all pause to take our "quality of life" temperatures (see pp. 234-35) or fill in the blanks about our "ideal day" (pp. 241-243). You might have to purchase two copies.
Yeah, that's one thing I love about Jenny's book. It works better on paper. Sure, you could complete the exercises on an iPad ebook, but typing ebook notes is still a cumbersome task. With a book like this, "easy" is an important quality. This book reminded me that some things are best in older formats. Like us, our kids' parents.
- Life-coaching vs. psychotherapy: I wouldn't recommend coaching over, say, seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist if one is truly depressed or stressed. But for those crossroads we reach, whether at age 22 or 59 . . .? Life-coaching definitely has its appeal. It's short, direct, proactive.
- Life-coaching vs. psychotherapy, redux: To my mind, a lot of life coaches are bullshit artists who prey on the insecure and needy. So are a lot of psychotherapists. Still I trust psychotherapists who have had years of verifiable and quantifiable training over coaches, who generally go through some kind of training program that lacks an overarching authority to set standards.
- Life-coaching vs. psychotherapy, one more observation: It isn't either/or.
- Finding help for your kids: Let them lead you to what they need. You probably have better connections for doctors and even life coaches than they do, so have some contacts ready in case they ask.
- Finding help for your kids redux: Jenny's book costs $14.86 on BarnesandNoble.com. That's a small investment for a tool that might help your Gen Yer discover his or her mooring.
So good luck to Jenny, who's already something of a rock star. If you're looking for an inspirational speaker for an event, you can contact her on her blog: LifeAfterCollege.org. Clicking on the book cover will take you to BarnesandNoble.com.
As always, please leave comments. I prefer them on the blog, but, as always, I like your communications on Facebook and Twitter and by email.

Im around town and have a lot more time on my hands to be here at a moments notice.Brown was re-elected to the commission this past year and served as president last year as well.Brown said the organizational meeting was to also set the commissions meeting dates for the year.We will be meeting at the same times, which are the first and third Tuesdays of each month, with the first Tuesday at 10 a.m. and the third Tuesday at 5 p.m., said Brown. We want to urge the public to attend the meetings.The county commission also set all of its various committees.We kept the same committees we had last year, he said.All the newly and re-elected county officials were sworn into office and the commission also had a ceremony to open the new judicial annex.This new judicial annex is a $4.1 million project, Brown said.The new judicial annex is located behind the Boone County courthouse and adjacent to the old courthouse annex will house Family Court offices on the first floor and the sheriff's offices on the second floor. The county commission will move to the third floor, and the basement area will provide much needed space for county records.Brown said providing sufficient space for Family Court is mandated by West Virginia Code. The commission was approached by the Family Court judge and the West Virginia Supreme Court informing the commission that the county was out of compliance in meeting the minimum specifications for space.Brown said the commission had put aside money for capital projects and that's how the county was able to fund the construction of the building this time.Brown also spoke about several other on-going services the county plans to continue to improve on in the coming months, not the least of which are water projects."One of our top priorities, if not the top one, has been to provide good water to residents in all parts of Boone County, and we're about 95 percent of that goal," Brown said. "Our next water projects will be in the Cox's Fork and Mud River areas."Another priority of the commission, Brown said, is to increase the capacity of the present sewer system, which is nearly at capacity now. This is a must for economic development and increased housing.Other projects touched on by Brown included the solid waste transfer stations, improvements to parks and recreation, the county's seven senior citizens centers, and renovation of the courtroom and the jurors room.We are still a little worried about the situation with our coal mining industry in the county and our revenues, Brown said. We plan to stay aggressive with our water projects and other projects as well and keep Boone County moving forward.All the commissioners said the new judicial annex was a wonderful thing for the county.There seems to be a great spirit of cooperation here in the courthouse and this is only more good news for the people of Boone County, Brown said. These new facilities are more open and make is better for public access and public meetings and several departments will have a lot more room.Several officials, courthouse employees and members of the public attended and spoke during the new judicial annex open house ceremony. The new facilities were designed and built by G&G Builders.I want to thank all the workers as well, said Commissioner Atholl Halstead. There was a lot of money spent on this and we feel like we have spent the taxpayers money wisely. They can see and will get a benefit immediately from these new facilities.Mike Davis, a Boone County native who is vice president and general manager of G&G Builders, said he appreciated the opportunity the county gave his company.I am a graduate of Van High School and I wanted to come back home and do something great in my home county, he said.Commissioner Eddie Hendricks said he was amazed at how well the process went.They were building at the same time we are still conducting county business, Hendricks said. This building will enhance government in this county and make it much safer and more efficient.

NEW YORK — Nearly 20 years after "Dumb and Dumber" was released, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are reuniting for "Dumb and Dumber To."
Daniels said Carrey approached directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly two years ago about doing a sequel.
"Jim has been against all sequels, and you know, understandably so. ... But he turned 50 and that will mellow you out, and suddenly he's going, 'Let's have some fun. ... Come on,' and we're going, 'Great,' and so the Farrellys said, 'This isn't a money grab. Let's really write a great second movie that takes the original and then blows it up even further, and so I think they did that," Daniels said in an interview Wednesday.
Universal Pictures, which acquired the domestic distribution rights after Warner Bros. dropped out, confirmed the sequel.
"It's taken two years to get the studios and all that stuff worked out," Daniels said. "The easiest thing to say in Hollywood is 'no.' You keep your job if you say 'no.' If you say 'yes' and you're not right, you lose your job. There's a lot of 'no.' And we had a lot of 'no' for two years and finally 'yes,' it's comin' around, and I think it's got a chance to be I hope better than the first one."
Daniels said he's read the script and calls it "painfully funny."
The original premise wasn't that deep. It followed two well-meaning but moronic friends, Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Daniels), as they traveled cross-country to find the owner of a briefcase filled with money.
"We're middle-aged and still that stupid. Our IQ has not gone up one point combined," he said. "So it's a frightening thing. You're gonna see the two of us standing there trying to put thoughts together and you want to put underneath, 'Kids don't do this at home.' It's that stupid."
Daniels, 58, is known for his critically acclaimed roles in "The Squid and the Whale" and "The Purple Rose of Cairo."
He stars as a cable news anchor in the HBO series "The Newsroom," which returns for its second season on July 14.
Daniels said he's always surprised by the people who approach him about his "Dumb" role.
"To have what you would think (would) be very smart, intelligent people come up to you (and say), 'Can I talk to you for a second? Don't tell anybody but 'Dumb and Dumber' (is) unbelievable.' I get that a lot."

Macon is warm for this time of year. Yesterday I found plenty of great photo ops.
Cold will soon be here. While cutting back the elephant ear plants, I find a couple of tree frogs enjoying the last of the sunny weather.
Tree frogs are common in this area. I still get excited to discover them!
After cutting back the large leaves of the elephant ear plant, I smell an unpleasant odor. Not wanting to step in poo, I scan the ground for the offending odor.
Instead of poo, I find a variety of a stinkhorn mushroom. The mushrooms excrete a stinkhorn slime for the attraction of flies.
A large female praying mantis sits on a twig for a photo session.
After harassing the poor female praying mantis, I finish my pics for the day on a sweet note.
Enjoy your day!
