After the election of Benedict XVI in 2005, one cardinal remarked that if the only consequence of Joseph Ratzinger's election was that people would now read his books, it would be a success.
Eight years later, as Benedict lays down his crozier, there is more than something to that.
The near-universal assessment of Benedict's eight years is that he has been an exemplary disciple and a superlative teacher.
"The Holy Father has been one of the world's, and history's, great, great teachers of the faith," said Archbishop Richard Smith of Edmonton, president of the Canadian episcopal conference, in one of many similar assessments.
By the time of his election as pope, Joseph Ratzinger had already been a teacher of rare clarity and depth for more than four decades. German students would flock to the lectures of the young Father Ratzinger, even as English students of a previous century would pack the university church at Oxford to hear John Henry Newman preach.
This limpid teaching continued as pope, but it was exercised in a highly personal way. It would be more accurate to say that, while pope, Joseph Ratzinger continued to be a formidable and friendly teacher, rather than to say that he was a great teaching pope.
The usual instruments of the papal magisterium were not Benedict's favored instruments. He wrote three encyclicals, and aside from the first half of the first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est (God Is Love), they made a limited impact. The panoply of other documents — apostolic constitutions, exhortations and letters employed by Blessed John Paul II — were used only in limited ways. Partly this was because, as his predecessor's chief lieutenant, Joseph Ratzinger had already made a contribution to the shelves of magisterial teaching produced and judged further additions to that record unnecessary.
Remember: Long before his election as pope, Cardinal Ratzinger had already completed the most enduring project of his life's work, the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Benedict chose instead to use five more personal means of teaching, trusting that, while they were less authoritative, perhaps they were more persuasive. First, pride of place was given to his homilies, with John Paul's biographer George Weigel judging Benedict to be the "finest papal homilist since Gregory the Great."
Benedict's homilies constituted a course in biblical theology, combined with poetic expression and an extraordinary capacity to express the truths of faith in a most accessible manner. Already published in various collections, the homilies of Benedict will be spiritual reading for generations.
Second, and closely associated with his preaching, there were the Wednesday audiences which, over eight years, constituted a course in the Church Fathers, saints, biblical commentary and the art of prayer.
It was surprising to many that Benedict's Wednesday's audiences often drew more pilgrims than those of his predecessor. The masterful teaching presented may have been the reason.
Third, returning to form as a professor, there were the great magisterial lectures, echoing the academic tradition of a great scholar addressing an important topic of general interest. There were four great lectures — the "September Speeches," as I've called them elsewhere — at the University of Regensburg in 2006, College des Benardins in Paris (2007), the Westminster Parliament (2010) and the Bundestag in Berlin (2011). All were given on September trips of the Holy Father, perhaps prepared with care over the preceding summer months. A fifth great magisterial lecture, at La Sapienza University in Rome, was published, but not given in person due to protests from narrow-minded professors.
In the September Speeches, Benedict laid out the Christian tradition on faith and reason and the role of truth in public life.
At Regensburg, he explained that faith cannot demand what is contrary to reason, especially in regard to violence.
At the College des Bernardins in Paris, he examined the question from the opposite end, pointing out that reason without faith becomes turned in on itself and unable to answer man's fundamental questions.
At Westminster, in the place where St. Thomas More was condemned to death, he spoke of the importance of conscience in political life.
In his own national parliament in Berlin, he spoke — echoing St. Augustine — of how politics without truth renders the state a "band of robbers."
At La Sapienza, had the professoriate been well-mannered enough to receive him, they would have heard Holy Father relate all this to the life of the university. In the magisterial lectures, which were more exercises of Benedict's professorial mind rather than his Petrine office, the Holy Father laid the foundations for a humane approach to the most pressing public questions of the 21st century.
Fourth, the great biblical theologian wrote books of academic work — three volumes entitled Jesus of Nazareth. Immensely learned, the trilogy demonstrated that scholarly rigor ought not be opposed to the life of faith. The books, which the Holy Father explicitly insisted were personal works and not of his papal magisterium, have had a greater reach and greater impact than any ordinary encyclical could hope to have.
A fifth instrument favored by Benedict was the off-the-cuff format, whether in question-and-answer style or in extemporaneous remarks.
Whether in his annual meetings with priests or in his famous Q&A with children preparing for first Communion, the great teacher was often at his best in conversational mode.
For example, at the end of his final retreat as pope, just a few days before his retirement, Benedict observed the following on the retreat's theme — "the art of believing, the art of praying."
"I was reminded of the fact," Benedict XVI said, "that the medieval theologians have translated the word 'logos' not only as 'verbum,' but also as 'ars.' 'Verbum' and 'ars' are interchangeable. Only in the two together does the entire meaning of the word 'logos' appear for medieval theologians. The 'Logos' is not simply a mathematical reasoning; the 'Logos' has a heart. The 'Logos' is also love. Truth is beautiful. Truth and beauty go together. Beauty is the seal of truth."
It was a fitting Ratzingerian conclusion — a few words, summarizing in light of the great Tradition the essence of the week's preaching.
In the Morris West novel The Shoes of the Fisherman, an Italian cardinal is trying to build a case in the conclave for a Slavic pope, proposing a cardinal recently released from a Soviet forced-labor camp. He makes the proposal to a cardinal from the Eastern-rite Churches and receives a wise reply.
"Always," said Rahamani the Syrian in his pliant, courteous fashion, "always you search for the one necessary gift — the gift of cooperating with God. Even among good men, this gift is rare. Most of us, you see, spend our lives trying to bend ourselves to the will of God, and, even then, we often have to bend by a violent grace. The others, the rare ones, commit themselves, as if by an instinctive act, to be tools in the hands of the Maker. If this new man is such a one, then it is who we need."
Benedict has been a disciple even more than a teacher. He chose as his motto precisely that: Cooperatores Veritatis. A cooperator of the truth — the definition of both a disciple and a teacher.

Anna Dementyeva (Russia) and Yuya Kamoto (Japan) won four gold medals each at the 19th Mikhail Voronin Cup, held Friday and Saturday in Moscow.
Dementyeva captured the women's all-around title over veteran Anna Pavlova and Olga Bikmurzina. She earned her high scores on uneven bars and balance beam (14.900 each) during the all-around. Appearing to sport a new rose tattoo on her ankle, Dementyeva rose to the occasion in Saturday's event finals as well with 15.600 on balance beam (6.6 Difficulty) and won uneven bars as well (14.450).
Dementyeva, who turns 18 on Dec. 28, also paired up with junior Maria Kharenkova to win the team title.
Pavlova, 25, won two golds and four silvers at the Voronin Cup, held at the famed Moscow Dinamo Club. Her titles came on vault and floor exercise.
Olympic superstars Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova each competed uneven bars only on Friday.
Kamoto the 2010 Youth Olympic Games all-around champion, also won the all-around and team titles, plus golds on parallel bars and high bar.
Kamoto and teammate Koji Nonomura gave Japan the team title by more than 6 points. Armenia surprisingly eclipsed Russia for second, though Olympic medalist Denis Ablyazin — usually a specalist — competed all six events.
In finals, Ablyazin won floor exercise (passes included a double-twisting layout front to double front, full-twisting double layout and piked Arabian double front) and vault.
The Armenian men also grabbed two golds with world finalist Harutyum Merdinyan winning pommel horse (15.425) and strongman Artur Tovmasyan impressing on still rings (15.700).
Russia's Yevgenia Shelgunova and Maria Kharenkova went 1-2 in the junior women's competition. Lithuania's Robert Tvorgal, fourth all-around at the 2012 Junior Europeans, grabbed the men's junior title.

Steven Holl's Reid Building for Glasgow School of Art is unafraid to takes risks. That's a rarity these days in British architecture, says Rory Olcayto
An interesting, important new architectural project - Steven Holl's Seona Reid Building for Glasgow School of Art's design faculty - has been unfairly judged: by local architects rightly sick of being overlooked for plum jobs; by bored London critics addicted to takedowns; and by others, chief among them a historian, seemingly bearing old grudges. Its architectural merits, they say, fall short of its neighbour, Charles Rennie Mackintosh's untouchable masterpiece. But is this the benchmark that should have been used?
Despite a positive review in our sister title The Architectural Review, and a short - but sweet - commentary in the Sunday Times, the general reaction to Holl's first British building has been hugely negative. 'Modeled with all the subtlety of an out-of-town multiplex,' said one leading critic for a national newspaper. 'Mismatched, more haggis-and-sorbet than Parma ham and melon,' said another broadsheet heavyweight in regard to the relationship it creates with The Mack. 'Like an industrial building dropped in from another planet,' said a historian lauded for his knowledge of Modernism.
None of these soundbites are informative or fair. Pithy however, is not the problem. Here's Joseph Rykwert on Mackintosh's art school: 'a Nipponified version of a Scottish baronial castle'. Perhaps it takes a lifetime to be that good. Within an architectural culture being steadily ironed flat, where every new building looks the same - schools, offices, and new civic buildings can be difficult to tell apart - Holl's Reid Building deserves more. Or better soundbites at least. It creates a strong sense of place, is defined by inventiveness and actively strives to embody its brief. This is a building that wants to be an art school.
This isn't about bigging up Holl, or co-designer and partner Chris McVoy, or Henry McKeown and Ian Alexander, of associate practice JM Architects, who ably managed the building on site. It's about fairnessand insight and the role critics play in forming a culture: we should be asking what important buildings mean, otherwise we may as well give marks out of 10. Make no mistake, the Reid Building matters. It takes risks - more than the past three Stirling Prize winners put together - and, while not all them succeed, it's the effort that counts. The Reid Building matters because it dares to walk the plank. In this respect, it works as art.
Some (meandering) background: for the past 20 years Glasgow's native architects have been doing subtle very well: sandstone-friendly how-do-you do's, contextual, clever and a wee bit boring. Some of them are pretty good: Page\Park's Italian Centre, round the back of the City Chambers; Elder & Cannon's Merchant City infills on the cusp of Glasgow's east end; NORD Architecture's home for art group WASPs in the Trongate, close to the River Clyde. The last of them, a refitted tenement block with no visible sign of change on the outside, was rewarded last year with the RIAS Andrew Doolan Prize, Britain's richest architectural award. All of these buildings 'fit in'. Good on them.
Thankfully, not everyone has played this game: a trio of buildings by GM+AD - the Spectrum House retrofit and angular, aggressive-looking hotels for Bewleys and Radisson - are deliberately 'gallus'. So too, is the science centre by BDP Glasgow. Yet, on the whole, it is 'outsider' architects who have channeled Glasgow's swagger: Norman Foster's 'Armadillo' concert hall from 1997 and his 'Mars Attacks ' companion piece in Finnieston, which opened last year. Zaha Hadid's molten Riverside Museum at Partick, completed in 2011. David Chipperfield's staircasein- a-box for the BBC in Govan of 2007. The infinite corridor of Rem Koolhaas's 2011 Maggie's Centre at Gartnavel Hospital. And Barry Gasson's Burrell Collection, an inverted Castelvecchio, from 1981, the first and best example of a non-native doing Glasgow better than the locals.
In fairness, these buildings are located outside the confines of Glasgow's gridiron townscape. Most of them too, just like the Reid building, have been harshly written off. (Sometimes even by the architect responsible! Chipperfield famously disowned his BBC building because he fell out with the client and was unhappy with the handiwork of the executive architect. Still, it's one of the great British workplace buildings of the past decade, and Keppie saw through a difficult process well.) Elsewhere, the RIAS overlooked Hadid's museum for a RIBA award, blaming the architect for its inaccessibility - the fault, surely, of the council's city plan - and Foster's 'Armadillo' is routinely dismissed as Utzon by Aldi or Lidl.
As for the Burrell, it's largely forgotten, rarely cited as one of modern Britain's best, when it clearly up there with Leicester, Lloyds and Willis Faber & Dumas.
The Reid Building then, a difficult, provocative, Glasgow city-centre project, designed by a starchitect opposite a world-famous, untouchable landmark, was always going to struggle to find friends. The reason it matters however is really quite simple: it reinvents on 'atrium culture', the prevailing architectural idea today, to create a range of interiors - nooks, crannies and caverns - that emphasise spatial experiences.
Consider two similar projects to Holl's: Stanton Williams' Central St Martins (AJ 03.11.11) and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studio's Manchester School of Art (AJ 29.11.13) - both more appropriate comparisons than The Mack. They have simple, orthogonal plans, with large atria and a contemporary office ambience (think, for a minute, what that says about the practice of art). In contrast, the Reid Building, a whitepainted Gormenghast with spindly, sculptural stairways, has conical walls with angular cut-outs, asymmetrical doors and sloping windows and, at its westernmost end, a corner-cut glass cube 'gallery' that floats over the city's unfolding grid below.
This last detail is a match for Mackintosh's celebrated 'hen-run' in terms of townscape engagement. Which art school, of the three, seems more suited for making art?
More questions: Why do so many new British buildings look and feel the same? Why does Brent Civic Centre feel like Central St Martin's (an art school), which in turn feels much like the Angel (an office)? Is it because today we live in two dimensions, utterly in thrall to our screens? The architecture we make suggests it is. The bottom line for civic architecture, therefore, becomes the provision of generic, monotonous space that allows people to use personal screens - to make art, or administrate, or teach - as easily as possible, without distraction, without discomfort, without risk.
Why the Reid Building matters then, has got nothing to do with whether or not its double-skinned glass facade is complementary with Mackintosh's sandstone fortress across the way; whether it is contextual in terms of its materiality; whether it's a North Atlantic building designed for the twilight, nor whether it channels Glasgow's addiction to newness. Nor whether its front elevation - much better viewed in perspective than read face-on, which soars and takesoff,and hurtles eastwards - can compete with the facades across the road. (The James Stirling-esque north elevation, incidentally, which fronts a narrow alleyway, is a treat).
Yet the Renfrew Street facade is contextual: it is rude, crude, in-yerface, like Glasgow's awesome elevated motorways that crash right through the city centre; like Central Station, which barges aggressively across Argyle Street; and like Keppie's architectural school, which floats above RenfrewStreet at right angles to Holl's addition. But that's not why the Reid Building matters, either.
Neither does it matter whether the 'driven voids of light' which critics have said fail to capture light from Glasgow's seemingly forever grey skies, are seen as a success or otherwise. And don't be worried, like some critics are, that they might amplify sound throughout the building. This is an art school, not a library.
No, the Reid Building matters because, unlike so much of new British architecture, it refuses to submit tothe virtual realm. Instead it asks, 'How do we use these complex spaces?' and 'What does it mean to be right here?' It should hardly matter if its gives the wrong answer.

A breath of fresh air. And the building doesn't seem to be riding on fashion - like the current vogue for twisted, bent and deformed 'look at me' towers in London, so very eloquent in their symbolism of the age of the dodgy 'financial services' culture.
There's 'gallus' and there's crude, lumpen, late 20th century banality - like the apartment blocks flanking the tracks on the approach to Waterloo, and the assemblage of junk dominating the approach to Leeds Central from the southwest - monuments to extraordinary philistinism.
Very good piece. It's true the critics have been negative, much of it I think as a consequence of the architect's metaphysical archibabble, which makes Kahn the personification of clarity and suspect post rationalisation.
It's in it's relationship with the GSA and Holl's stated intention of an "homage" to Mackintosh, which became a
" complementary contrast.....if you want to respect someone; you do the opposite" that the building is compromised and Holl left open to much criticism. It is undoubtedly a strong work of architecture. Considered and skillfully constructed and as this piece points out, Glasgow is the better for it.
Out of scale and context. Such a drab street. Sometimes the best we can do for people and architecture is to demolish the rubish...

Alex Gordon Receives First Golden Glove
KANSAS CITY -- Alex Gordon, a third baseman for the Royals until last year, is now among baseball's elite outfielders.
Gordon won the Rawlings Gold Glove as the American League's best defensive left fielder on Tuesday night. The vote was by the league's managers and coaches.
He was selected over the New York Yankees' Brett Gardner and the Tampa Bay Rays' Sam Fuld. Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur, also a finalist, lost out to the Baltimore Orioles' Nick Markakis.
"I was thrilled, I couldn't be happier about the award. I have a lot of people to thank. It would it have been nice to see a teammate, Frenchy, with me but just to have both of us up for the award was great," Gordon said. "Just changing positions last year, I never thought I'd be in this position today."
A key element in Gordon's election was that he led the Major Leagues this year with 20 outfield assists, half of which cut down a runner at the plate.
Gordon is the 10th Royals player to win a Gold Glove. He's the fifth outfielder; Amos Otis won in 1971-73-74, Al Cowens in 1977, Willie Wilson in 1980 and Jermaine Dye in 2000.
Frank White won eight Gold Gloves at second base between 1977 and 1987, and Mark Grudzielanek won at that position in 2006. George Brett won at third base in 1985, and pitcher Bret Saberhagen and catcher Bob Boone both won 1989.
While Gordon was known as a hard-working, strong and adaptable athlete, his switch from third base to the outfield in 2010 went amazingly well. It all came about after a broken finger sidetracked his Spring Training that year and he got off to a poor start when he returned in April. With Alberto Callaspo available to play third base, Gordon was shipped off to Triple-A Omaha and, mindful that hot prospect Mike Moustakas was due for arrival soon at third base, the Royals shifted Gordon to the outfield.
"It wasn't easy at first, and you could probably ask some of the Triple-A pitchers I was playing defense behind about that," he said. "But I got sent down and put in the work down there and when I got to the big leagues, I was maybe not quite ready but pretty close."
Gordon credited Minor League instructor Rusty Kuntz and Royals outfield coach Doug Sisson with honing his skills.
"Those two coaches definitely made it a lot easier for me," he said.
After 68 games for Omaha in 2010, Gordon was back with Kansas City and started 55 games in left field and three in right field with few problems. Key factors were that Gordon embraced the change and worked endlessly to improve himself.
As a bonus, Gordon was a hot hitter for Omaha. That didn't carry over to Kansas City in 2010, but his fielding prowess did.
"Everything that he did was with a purpose. There was no fooling around," manager Ned Yost noted early this season. "He works, and when he works, he's 100 percent focused on what he's doing. And he's as good at it as anybody I've ever seen and as disciplined with it as anybody I've ever seen."
Gordon had a system to keep his outfield play sharp. During batting practice this year, he shooed the shagging pitchers away from left field and concentrated on fielding every ball hit his way as if he were in a game. Yost also felt that Gordon's quick, infield-style release on his throws helped him gun down overly-enthusiastic baserunners.
In fact, the entire Royals outfield became a huge weapon, leading the Majors with 51 assists, most since the Detroit Tigers had 50 in 2002. It was the most by the Royals since 53 in their inaugural season of 1969. Francoeur had 16, tying for second in the Majors, and center fielder Melky Cabrera had 13. The other two were recorded by Mitch Maier.
"I think Frenchy and Melky might have had a stronger arm than me, but I do think I got to the ball quickly and had that quicker release, and that definitely helped me transition to the outfield," Gordon said.
His assists total grew throughout the season and his 20 broke the club record of 17 by Dye in 1999 and by Mark Teahen in 2007. Oddly enough, Teahan also was a converted third baseman, moved to make room for Gordon at third base.
Gordon especially recalled the Royals' series in late July at Boston.
"The ones that meant a lot of me were off the Green Monster, because I didn't know how I was going to react to the big wall and how I would adjust to it," he said. "But I played a couple balls off the wall and made three outfield assists at second base."
Royals outfielders were involved in 26 plays that cut down runners at home plate, most in the Majors since 1978 when the Montreal Expos had 30 such plays.
Gordon believes that Sisson's insistence on practicing outfield throws before every series this season, unlike most clubs, was a big factor. Even though he's now a Gold Glove winner, Gordon noted that he's still new at the position and he'll keep working to get better.
"I had a couple of errors and I think my range can improve," he said.
Actually, he had three errors. Oh, yeah, work to be done.

Hugh Jackman promises he'll be popping his claws as Wolverine at least once more ASAP – after a little more song and dance.
Jackman tells PopcornBiz he'll "absolutely" be back in the X-Men's most popular mutant's muttonchops once he's completed filming director Tom Hooper's big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical "Les Miserables." Director James Mangold ("Walk the Line," "3:10 to Yuma") has signed on to helm the reboot-ish, not-quite-sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" titled simply, "The Wolverine."
"If it wasn't for 'Les Miserables,' now that Jim is on board we're kind of ready to go," says Jackman, who currently stars in this past weekend's box office champ"Real Steel." "For 'The Wolverine' to work, we would have had to have started 'Les Miserables' yesterday, so we couldn't quite make that when we needed to so it will happen strait after."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Mangold stepped in to fill the slot left by departing director Darren Aronofsky, with whom Jackman previously made "The Fountain." "It was going to be Darren but his personal life excluded him from doing the movie," says the actor. "I asked him to do 'X-Men 3,' I asked him to do 'Wolverine 1' and he said that was not for him. I showed him the script for this, he read it and said that it was the best comic book movie script that he had ever read. He's been dying to do one for a long time."
The actor's confident that Mangold will perfectly realize what Jackman thinks is the best big screen Wolverine story arc to date. "Many directors wanted to do this film, I'm happy to say, because of the strength of the script," he says. "When James came in he just had such a clear vision of where this should go. He had the best take, and he's done many genres and many things. When I look at '3:10 to Yuma,' and when he started talking about 'The Outlaw Josey Wales,' I was like 'Now I think we are on the right track!' Then he had a couple of things that even in Darren's version of the script hadn't been solved. He just knew he had the key."
The story, he says, is "a little darker than what we've seen and I think a little more true to the character," in large part because it was inspired the landmark 1982 comic book miniseries by legendary "X-Men" writer Chris Claremont and iconic artist Frank Miller, as well as follow-up plotlines.
"The Japanese saga," Jackman calls it. "But if you read all of that there is a lot of it that is a little disparate, and some of it has X-Men in it, and there is a wedding if you know all that, so we take license in that."
"This time I feel more than anything we really nailed down that character," Jackman explains, putting much of Wolverine's mysterious origins behind him to simply focus on his role in the new adventure. "I think for the audience and myself and the writers, it was like 'Enough of my memory, who am I, what happened in my past?' We kind of explored that enough. Now it's this great backdrop of Japan, which is going to be fantastic for this character. It's a very rich source of material in the comic book, and there's more ladies in this movie. It's a nice change from the last one. It was very testosterone-heavy."
Jackman says while there's more time for him as Logan ahead, he's fairly certain there's no "X4" in the future. "I don't see it happening," he says. "I can only see one movie ahead. I can only go one at a time, but if this is the last one – fingers crossed –we're just going to finally get that hole in one."
He did love his split-second reprisal of the role in this year's "X-Men: First Class," a stint he wasn't sure would ever come to pass. "They asked me to do that cameo a year before I did it and I said, alright, teach me the concept," he reveals. "I thought, I kind of like that. I said is anyone else swearing in the movie? They said, we don't think so, and I said promise no one else swears in the movie and I'm in. I was like, 'Perfect – this is great,' because 50% of Wolverine's dialogue should be 'f**k.' That feels right for me and that particular take was a little ad-lib that I did at the end."

From the video case:
Biochemist Leo G. Carroll has a plan to feed the world by using a growth formula on plants and animals. But instead he creates a spider of mammoth proportions with an appetite to match!
Feeding off cattle and humans, this towering tarantula has the people of Desert Rock, Arizona, running for their lives. Can this horrible creature be stopped? Or will the world succumb to this over-sized arachnid? Starring John Agar as the good doctor and Mara Corday as a student, and potential victim, of this science experiment gone awry! (1955, b&w)
Mark says:
I've always been a sucker for big bug flicks, and this is one of my favorites. Strong direction by Jack Arnold (Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Incredible Shrinking Man) is enhanced by the B-movie star power of John Agar (Invisible Invaders, The Brain from Planet Arous), Mara Corday (The Black Scorpion), and Leo G. Carroll who plays crotchety Prof. Gerald Deemer.
John Agar is at his best as Dr. Matt Hastings, a young country doc trying to unravel the bizarre happenings in his small desert community. Mara Corday plays Stephanie 'Steve' Clayton, an aspiring scientist and love interest for Dr. Hastings. This is my favorite role for Mara Corday. She plays the part with sophistication and charm, and can scream with the best of them.
You may also recognize B-movie regular Hank Patterson (Monster on the Campus, Beginning of the End) as Josh, the hotel clerk. I always remember him as Fred Ziffel from the tv series Green Acres. He is used primarily as comedy relief in this picture.
Of course, the main draw of the film is the giant tarantula created by Clifford Stine (The Deadly Mantis). I'm still impressed with the special effects of Tarantula. The giant arachnid is effectively creepy and menacing, and quite convincing even by today's standards. The scene where it emerges from the dynamite blast is one of my favorite B-movie scenes of all-time.
This is the best giant bug movie since Them! Highly recommended.
Scene to watch for: John Agar, in an attempt to identify the pool of spider venom, puts the tarantula goo on his tongue. Yeeach.
Line to listen for: "I knew it would happen. Give women the vote and what do you get? Lady scientists."
Trivia: That's Clint Eastwood as the leader of the jet squadron at the climax of the film.
Mark's Rating: ! ! ! ! out of 5.

This is from August, when I was working on Hot Desk. There was a photo of a girl on a horse lying around on the table I was working on. I like the horse's legs in this, but not much of the rest of it.
(Incidentally, the 'Aesop version' actually turned out to be The Tortoise That Fell In Love With A Hare. But the rabbit and the lion were useful staging posts to getting me there.)

I finally heard this episode just last night, and it was delightful, well worth waiting for! Thanks for letting us have a peek inside the notebooks; it's no end of fun to see, as it were, the stone that the final sculpture was chiseled from.

Is it more "efficient" to develop games with languages you're good with and like best rather then the "best" language?
For example: I like C# (It's My First Language) and I'm really good at it and used to how it works. I'm not as good with C++; I'm kinda slow at it because I don't prefer how the systems work, like I think int a[] is not as good as int[] a.
Would it be better to go with what I know best or what's the "best" available?

"The efficient market hypothesis assumes that markets can't be beat because everyone has the same information. This reasoning is conceptually flawed. Even if everyone had all the same information, there's no reason to assume they would reach the same decision as to the appropriate price of a market or security. For example, in a chess tournament, all the players know the same rules and have access to the same chess books and records of past games by world champions, yet only a small minority excel. There is no reason to assume that all the players will use the same information with equal effectiveness. Why should the markets, which in a sense represent an even more complex game than chess (there are more variables, and the rules are always changing) be any different?
"In a chess tournament, a few highly skilled players will win most of the games by exploiting the mistakes of the weaker players. Much like chess, it seems only reasonable to expect a few highly skilled market participants to interpret the same information — the current position of the market chessboard, so to speak — differently from the majority, and reach variant conclusions about the probable market direction. In this conceptual framework, mistakes by a majority of less skilled market participants can drive prices to incorrect levels (that is, prices out of line with the unknown equilibrium level), creating opportunities for more skilled traders. Quite simply, equal dissemination of knowledge does not imply equal use of knowledge.
"…The fact that the majority of participants in all markets are consistently unable to beat the market gives the efficient market hypothesis the illusion of truth. But the fact that the markets are very difficult to beat does not imply they can't be beat. It is entirely consistent to believe that a very large majority of market participants will underperform and, at the same time, to believe that a few highly skilled traders will outperform the markets (in numbers and by margins that exceed those explainable by probability arguments). Just as some chess masters can consistently win at tournaments, a small minority of skilled traders can significantly outperform the markets. Indeed, in both arenas, it can be argued that the mistakes of the majority create the winning opportunities for the few who are more skilled."
- Jack Schwager, Market Sense and Nonsense
JS Comment:
Yale professor Robert J. Shiller has called the efficient market hypothesis "one of the most remarkable errors in the history of economic thought." Why does it persist?

This chapter introduces Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes, 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). It includes the following topics:
This document is accurate at the time of publication. Oracle will update the release notes periodically after the software release. You can access the latest information and additions to these release notes on the Oracle Technology Network at:
This document contains the release information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). It describes differences between Oracle Fusion Middleware and its documented functionality.
Oracle recommends you review its contents before installing, or working with the product.
Oracle Fusion Middleware installation and configuration will not complete successfully unless users meet the hardware and software pre-requisite requirements before installation.
For more information, see "Review System Requirements and Specifications" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide
Oracle Fusion Middleware memory requirements for installation, configuration, and runtime are as follows:
Without a Database on the same server: Minimum 4 GB physical memory and 4 GB swap.
With a Database on the same server: Minimum 6 GB physical memory and 6 GB swap.
These minimum memory values are with the assumption that no user or operating system process is consuming any unusually high amount of memory. If such a condition exists, corresponding amount of additional physical memory will be required.
This section contains the following:
Section 1.5.1, "Where to Find Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification Information"
Section 1.5.4, "Viewer Plugin Required On Safari 4 To View Raw XML Source"
The latest certification information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) is available at the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations Central Hub:
This section describes known issues (exceptions) and their workarounds that are associated with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g certifications. For a list of known issues that are associated with specific Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) components, see the Release Notes for the specific Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) component.
This section contains the following topics:
Section 220.127.116.11, "Certification Information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g R1 with Oracle Database 220.127.116.11"
Section 220.127.116.11, "Process to Install and Configure WebCenter With 32-bit JDK on Supported 64-Bit Platform"
If you choose to configure Oracle Internet Directory with Database vault, do the following:
Apply patch 8897382 to fix bug 8897382.
the following workaround is required only if the Oracle Fusion Middleware version is 220.127.116.11.0 (11gR1). This issue will be fixed in 220.127.116.11.0.
Apply the workaround for bug 8987186 by editing
<OH>/ldap/datasecurity/dbv_oid_command_rules.sql file and find the following declaration:
/declare begin dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE( command => 'CONNECT' ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access' ,object_owner => 'ODS' ,object_name => '%' ,enabled => 'Y'); commit; end;/
and change the line that is indicated in bold:
command => 'CONNECT'
,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'
,object_owner => '%'
,object_name => '%'
,enabled => 'Y');
Vista prevents applets from creating files in the local file system if the User Account Control (UAC) system is turned on. You can experience this problem if you have the UAC setting enabled on Vista and if you use a component like Discoverer Plus. If you start Discoverer Plus and if you try exporting a worksheet to a specified directory, the exporting succeeds but you cannot see the exported file in the directory. The available workarounds is to disable UAC and set protection mode to OFF. Refer to Bugs 8410655 and 7328867 for additional information.
When a JSPX page is deployed and is then accessed using Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), the XHTML source is displayed instead of the page contents. This occurs in both normal and osjp.next modes.
The workaround is to instruct application users to access the application with Firefox or Safari.
When you attempt to connect to Discoverer Plus by using the Mozilla Firefox browser on a computer that does not have Java 1.6 installed, Firefox does not download the JRE 1.6 plug-in automatically. Instead, Firefox displays the following message: "Additional plugins are required to display this page..."
The workaround is to download the JRE 1.6 plug-in by clicking the Install Missing Plugin link to install it manually.
For WebCenter 11g Release 1, the following platform has been verified with 32-bit JDK:

Metro-North tracks inspected 2 days before crash
BRIDGEPORT -- The section of tracks involved in last Friday's Metro-North Railroad collision were inspected two days before the accident, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.
Robert Kulat, a spokesman for the FRA, said Metro-North inspected the tracks May 15 and found the tracks were in good condition. A more thorough semi-annual inspection yielded the same results, he said.
The collision of the two M-8 rail cars injured 76 people and shut down the New Haven Line east of South Norwalk for four days.
Both inspections concluded the tracks were properly aligned and the wood, steel and other construction materials were in good shape, Kulat said.
On a commuter railroad like Metro-North, the more thorough inspection -- conducted by Sperry Rail Corp. in this case -- is required twice a year under the FRA's standards to assure the tracks meet or exceed federal safety standards, Kulat said.
After the derailment Friday, Metro-North Railroad crews built new tracks and repaired catenary and signal systems in time to restore modified service Tuesday afternoon.
The first Metro-North train, a set of M-8 cars out of Grand Central Terminal, carried passengers past the accident scene, arriving on schedule at the Bridgeport station at 4:32 p.m. Tuesday. The train later pulled into New Haven just before 5 p.m., a few minutes early.
With full service to be restored Wednesday morning, Metro-North and Amtrak ran fewer trains than usual Tuesday over the single track available on the 7-mile stretch between Greens Farms and Bridgeport.
Carlos Nelson, of Bridgeport, first expressed surprise and concern to be on the first train headed to New Haven after the accident, before laughing off his apprehension.
"This is the first one?" he asked as the train passed through Westport. "I guess I'm a little nervous being the one to test it out."
Barbara Munoz, also of Bridgeport, said she was "a little apprehensive" as the train passed beneath the Interstate 95 overpass near Commerce Drive, where two trains collided last week.
But despite how quickly repairs were completed, Munoz said the ride felt fine, if not "a little bumpy," and offered praise for those responsible for the fast turnaround.
"I was surprised the repairs were done so quickly," said Munoz, who commutes by train to her human resources job in Manhattan every day. "They've been very diligent. ... They stuck to doing what they had to do."
National Transportation Safety Board investigators probing the cause of the collision are reviewing copies of Metro-North Railroad's track maintenance and inspection records for the section of track in Bridgeport and will verify if there were any missteps that need to be addressed, Kulat said.
"The NTSB investigation will answer that question," Kulat said.
An investigation by the NTSB into the rail crash has focused on two sections of rail found at the scene of the collision that appear to have broken apart at the joint assembly that holds them together, they said.
Metro-North's tracks are classified as Class 4, the most common grade of rail track on commuter railroads across the country, which means they are maintained to a standard to allow passenger service operators to travel at speeds up to 80 mph.
Investigators said that both trains involved in the crash were traveling close to 70 mph, near the maximum speed Metro-North engineers set for the area, according to the railroad.
On Tuesday, Metro-North President Howard Permut and state Department of Transportation Commissioner James P. Redeker rode in the engine of the 3:07 p.m. train out of Grand Central alongside a train master, who was monitoring the train's operation for any sign of trouble.
Both men declined comment on the NTSB's crash investigation and the early emphasis by investigators on two broken pieces of rail found at the site.
"We're going to have to see what the investigation says," Permut said.
About 50 percent of Metro-North's full service was restored at 3 p.m., just before the afternoon commute, the railroad announced on its website.
The first train expected to make the line's full westbound trip left New Haven at 4:23 p.m., arriving at Grand Central at 6:17 p.m.
Kulat said that each railroad has primary responsibility for conducting required inspections and keeping records, which are periodically audited by the FRA for compliance. The agency also conducts periodic spot inspections of sections of rail considered strategically important; conducting inspections of the section of Bridgeport track in March 2011 and October 2011 that found no problems.
Since 2003, the number of train derailments nationally has fallen 24 percent and collisions are down 77 percent, though most accidents and collisions have been caused by track issues, according to the administration.

BlackBerry® Balance™ technology was introduced last May, and since then I'm sure that you've heard the term thrown around in discussions about the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, and many other BlackBerry services and solutions. In short, BlackBerry Balance technology is designed to enable BlackBerry devices to be used for both business and personal purposes, without compromising company security or personal privacy. The technology is designed to intelligently partition data on your device, keeping corporate information secure without limiting your personal use of the device. For more details, check out the BlackBerry Balance presentation on SlideShare.
The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet OS 2.0 software update will support BlackBerry Balance technology in a few ways, continuing the theme of providing functionality for both work and play. Before digging into each of these instances, let's take a quick look at how RIM's new device management solution – BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion – makes use of this technology.
BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is designed to allow IT departments to manage BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in the enterprise, allowing them to specify IT policies that work with BlackBerry Balance technology to secure corporate data. This device management platform is not only designed for company-provisioned hardware, but also for devices that employees may bring into the company themselves. It works seamlessly with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to manage BlackBerry smartphones, and will include support for Android™ and iOS devices.
Got the IT side nailed down? Good. Now on to the handheld aspect.
On the device side, through BlackBerry Balance technology corporate data is identified as obtained through business applications, and is then restricted from being accessed by personal applications. It's really that simple, and this functionality is built into apps like Messages, Calendar, and Contacts – all with customizable behaviour set by the IT policies of the company you work for. For example, IT administrators can set an IT policy where messages received in a corporate email account can't have content copied and pasted into apps like Facebook® or Twitter®. Beyond the day-to-day use cases, BlackBerry Balance technology is also designed to enable IT administrators to remotely wipe corporate data on BlackBerry devices without wiping a user's personal info with it.
In summary, management of corporate data is no longer an all-or-nothing situation, but can now be accomplished intuitively and pragmatically, on both personal and work-provisioned devices.
BlackBerry Balance technology is built into the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, providing a unique experience for IT administrators and end-users, where neither the corporation's data nor the user's content is compromised. In BlackBerry PlayBook tablet OS 2.0, the personal perimeter, by default, contains personal data and applications, while the optional corporate perimeter can be fully managed by BlackBerry Mobile Fusion. Upholding our strong security standards, this corporate data is kept safe with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption.
You can also see the BlackBerry Balance technology functionality in action with BlackBerry PlayBook tablet OS 2.0 in a few of the app experiences. IT policies can manage the integrated Messages, Calendar, and Contacts applications. Beyond these, Print To Go also partitions work data securely, as well as apps like Citrix® Receiver and Documents To Go®.
As the range of devices being used within organizations expands, managing these under a balance of corporate and personal priorities has been challenging for many corporations. BlackBerry Mobile Fusion and BlackBerry PlayBook tablet OS 2.0 equipped with BlackBerry Balance technology work to provide an incomparible device management and end-user tablet experience.
Note: For BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry Balance technology requires BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0.3 or later, BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express v5.0.3, or MDaemon Messaging Server, BlackBerry Edition.
Are you an IT manager or IT administrator? How would you see BlackBerry Mobile Fusion and BlackBerry Balance technology improving device management within your organization? Share in the comments!

The Monticello Lady Buckaroos won two and lost two at the 1A Girls State Basketball Championships in Richfield last week, taking eighth place.
Led by Zoe Chadwick and Mary Beh, the girls from Monticello placed at the 1A tournament for the first time since 2006, when they placed sixth.
Wins over Manila and Duchesne were sandwiched between losses to Bryce Valley and Milford, giving the girls a four-day run at the tournament and a place at the state table.
In the opener, the Lady Bucks ran into the hottest team in the tournament, the sixth seeded Bryce Valley Mustangs, who upset the Region 19 number one seed Lady Bucks, 55-30, on their way to two more upsets and a second place finish.
It was a bad case of first game tournament jitters for the Lady Bucks as they couldn't find the basket in the first half. Mary Beh scored the first basket of the game for the Lady Buckaroos, but they didn't get another basket in the entire first half, scoring only six more points, all from the foul line, to trail 27-8 at halftime.
The cold shooting, combined with the non-shooting after 13 first half turnovers, put the Ladies too far behind to mount a comeback.
It wasn't a whole lot better in the second half, with just five field goals in the second. Beh finished the game with 12 points, while Chadwick scored 13, with 11 coming from the foulline. The Bucks scored 18 points from the foul line on 32 attempts.
Coach Ben Wolford's team regrouped in the consolation bracket on Thursday, facing the Manila Mustangs, a team they beat way back in December. This meeting was more of the same, as the two teams traded baskets throughout the first three quarters.
After leading 20-19 at halftime, the Lady Bucks scored 10 more points than the Mustangs in the second half to take the 53-42 win and keep their hopes alive.
Chadwick again led the way with 17 points. Atlanta Black shook off the first game jitters to score 15 and spearhead the aggressive Buckaroo defense, which forced many turnovers from the Mustangs that turned into easy baskets. Beh pitched in with 12 points.
The Manila win set up another rematch, this time with the Duchesne Eagles, a team the Buckaroos beat on the road three weeks ago by three, 36-33.
The game was low-scoring, with neither team able to mount any kind of lead. Duchesne held a two-point lead after three quarters, at 20-18 when the Lady Bucks finally took control of the game, outscoring the Eagles 14-5 on the quarter and grabbing the important 32-25. Making eight of nine free throws on the game was key for the Lady Bucks. Chadwick again led with 10 points.
In another rematch for the final game of the season, the Ladies played the Milford Tigers for sixth and eighth place.
The Tigers dominated in the December matchup, winning by 18 points and their inside game was just too much for the Buckaroos again, as the Tigers prevailed, 48-35.
This one was over early, as the Tigers jumped to 13-6 first quarter lead and stretched that to 27-11 at halftime. Chadwick ended her junior season with 14 points, her 19th game scoring in double figures on the season. She ends the season averaging 13 points per game, which puts her seventh in scoring in 1A. Monticello loses only one senior, Aapree Sheeran. Sheeran finished her final season averaging four points a game and her inside presence will be missed.
Lady Raiders
The Whitehorse Raiders raced their way to seventh place in the 1A tournament.
Raphaela Filfred and Kristy Dickinson led the Raiders to the excellent showing at the state tournament.
Filfred was the leading scorer in the 1A tournament, scoring 85 points in four games for a 21.2 point average. The Lady Raiders edged Tintic in the opener, squeeking out a 49-47 win as Filfred scored 19 points and Dickinson 15.
Next, the Raiders were hijacked by the eventual champions, the undefeated Panguitch Bobcats, falling 70-42, though Filfred tossed in 26 points, while Dickinson added nine.
The loss dropped the Raiders to the consolation round, where they pounded Wendover, 58-35, and were walloped by Wayne, 83-55. Filfred and Dickinson scored 28 and 17 points respectively against the Wildcats and 13 and 12 respectively against Wayne.
Finishing second in 1A scoring, Filfred averaged 16 ppg. Not far behind, fourth in scoring with 14.4 ppg is Dickinson.
BBBB (Buckaroo Boys Boys Basketball)
The Bucks had two games last week, against undefeated Ignacio of Colorado and the Monument Valley Cougars.
The Bobcats dominated from the start and hit the Bucks with a 73-51 loss. Tanner Eardley and Austin Maloy scored 12 and 11 points, respectively, to lead the Bucks.
The Buckaroos kept their region record spotless at 9-0 with a 70-33 win over the Cougars. Maloy led the way with 20. Dillon Maughan added 14 and three treys and Sheldon Black had 12.
The Bucks regular season ends this Thursday with a home contest against Green River.

Lucky us! We've been invited to a special event atop the Space Needle today, where 10 breweries from around Puget Sound are hoping to see their product selected as the official beer of the Space Needle's 50th Anniversary. The chosen brew will be served at Sky City (the Space Needle's restaurant) and at other celebratory events throughout 2012.
In case you haven't read our February cover story yet, this year marks 50 years since Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, when the Space Needle opened to the public, Elvis stormed Seattle Center, Seattleites lined up to ride the "Bubbleator" and, according to our very own editor-at-large Knute Berger, "the future came to town." Seriously, read his fascinating essay on the notable innovations Seattle's World's Fair represents, despite some of its more kitsch memories it left behind (see: Bubbleator).
We're double-pleased to be attending the beer tasting event tonight: 1) we're the exclusive magazine partner of the Space Needle's 50th Anniversary and 2) our Craft Beer issue was really tasty—I mean—fun to make. So what could be better than combining a ride to the top of the Space Needle with sipping a few locally made craft brews? Aside from riding in the Bubbleator with Elvis. (That one's a given.)
Here's a list of the breweries taking part in the contest tonight. We'll announce the winner on Twitter and Facebook tonight – and follow up with more details tomorrow.
- Boundary Bay Brewing Company, Bellingham
- Hale's Ale Ltd, Seattle
- Fish Brewing Company, Olympia

The Tudor Black Bay is one of the most successful and popular collections from the Genevan watch manufacturer. Harmonious retro designs and precise technology characterize this line. Top models are made of bronze and contain in-house movements.
The Tudor Black Bay from the Heritage retro watch collection is one of the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer's flagship models. The Genevan company introduced the Black Bay diving watch in 2012 and continues to expand the line with new models. The vintage look is inspired by historic Tudor Submariner models, which is why new models are characterized by domed crystal and a large crown with no protector. The so-called "snowflake hands" with squared ends are another distinctive feature of this series. Tudor has been outfitting almost every Black Bay model with in-house movements since 2016. These movements have an impressive 70-hour power reserve and a certificate from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
One of the highlights is the Black Bay Chrono, which was presented at Baselworld in 2017. This column-wheel chronograph with an in-house movement is a certified chronometer and can run for almost three days when fully wound. The bronze Black Bay Bronze and the bicolor Black Bay S&G in stainless steel and yellow gold are both in line with current trends. Those who like to change their watch's band will enjoy the additional textile strap that is a part of every complete Black Bay set.
Prices for a new Tudor Black Bay range from around 1,900 to 6,500 euros. At the top end of this price range are models such as the Black Bay Bronze, which Tudor launched exclusively for the watch and jewelry company Bucherer. The Black Bay 36, on the other hand, sits at the lower end of the price range. This retro watch has a polished bezel that is reminiscent of the Rolex Explorer and thus is not a diving watch. The ETA caliber 2824 ticks inside this sports watch. The 41-mm variant is only slightly more expensive and is powered by the same movement.

There are numerous current versions of the retro diving watch Tudor Black Bay. The first model came to market in 2012 and has a red bezel. The Black Bay Blue with a blue bezel appeared two years later, followed by the long-desired Black Bay Black with a black bezel in 2015. The year 2016 saw the release of the Bronze with an aluminum bronze case and the Dark with a stainless steel case and bracelet both coated in black. Since 2017, a bicolor version, the Black Bay S&G, and the Black Bay Steel with a stainless steel bezel have been released. Each variant comes with a stainless steel or leather band. You can change your band at any time thanks to the additional textile strap delivered with every watch.
You can find a pre-owned Tudor Black Bay with a leather strap for as little as 2,200 euros; new models start around 2,400 euros. Set aside another 200 euros for a variant with a stainless steel bracelet in mint condition. One of the newer models with the in-house movement MT5602 without a date display costs about 2,600 euros. If you would like a watch with a date display, you should consider the Black Bay Steel or the bicolor S&G model. The latter costs around 2,800 euros for a new watch with a distressed leather armband, while the price for a model with a bicolor stainless steel and gold bracelet is around 3,700 euros. A new Steel with a stainless steel bezel comes in at 2,600 euros with a leather strap or 2,900 euros with a stainless steel bracelet.
The bronze and all-black versions of the Tudor Black Bay line are among its most trendy models. The Genevan manufacturer uses the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process to layer the stainless steel case and bracelet of the Black Bay Dark in black. Its appearance is both sporty and restrained at the same time. This timepiece costs around 3,400 euros with a metal bracelet and around 3,200 with a leather strap.
Tudor's bronze watch is available as a standard model with a brown leather strap and an additional dual-colored textile strap. The 43-mm aluminum bronze case is completely satin-brushed. Over time this material will develop a distinctive patina, bringing to mind historic diving equipment and ship parts. You can purchase a Black Bay Bronze for a little as 3,200 euros.
A highlight within this series is the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, an automatic chronograph with two subdials and a date display. The manufacturer launched this watch with stopwatch functionality in 2017 and equipped it with the caliber MT5813, which has a 70-hour power reserve. The chronograph operates using a column wheel, which is seen as being higher end and more prestigious than the alternative cam actuated chronograph. The latter is used in the widespread Valjoux 7750, among others. The MT5813 is based on the Breitling B01 that is used in current versions of the Navitimer. In return, Tudor provides Breitling with their own in-house automatic movement MT5612 with three hands. Furthermore, the Rolex daughter company modifies the B01 by using their own winding rotor to wind the movement when worn as well as a silicon balance spring for more precise timekeeping.
Thanks to the screw-down crown, pushers, and case back, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is water resistant to 200 m (20 bar). The manufacturer chose to make the inscription of the water resistance red in the style of historic diving watches. A tachymeter scale on the fixed bezel can be used to measure speed. You can measure periods of time up to 45 minutes using the subdial at 3 o'clock. That being said, the snowflake hour hand obscures part of this display when it's between 2 and 4 o'clock. The small seconds dial sits at 9 o'clock, while the date is at 6.
Like other models from the Heritage Black Bay series, the chronograph is available with a stainless steel or leather band and comes with an additional textile strap. The version with brown leather costs around 3,600 euros, and the one with a riveted stainless steel bracelet costs around 3,900 euros. For comparison: you would have to pay at least 5,000 euros for a mint-condition Navitimer 01 that uses the same base caliber.
Those on the lookout for a more elegant sports watch should take a closer look at the Tudor Black Bay 41 or 36. As their names imply, these two models differ in their case sizes. They feel a bit more formal than the diving watches and chronographs due to their polished, fixed bezel. Thanks to a water resistance of 150 m (15 bar), you can keep the Black Bay 41 or 36 on while swimming. The caliber 2824 ticks away inside these watches rather than an in-house movement. This movement has a power reserve of 38 hours. As for the band, you once again have the choice between stainless steel and numerous leather bands. You can get a 36-mm model in mint condition for less than 2,000, regardless of the band. The 41-mm version costs only slightly more at around 2,200 euros.
If you want to know if an in-house movement is ticking inside your favorite Tudor Black Bay , take a look at the dial. Models with in-house movements have the inscription "Chronometer officially certified" above the 6 o'clock position and below the water resistance. Watches from before 2016 feature the inscription "Rotor Self-Winding" instead. It's easy if you have a Black Bay S&G, Steel, Chrono, Dark, or Bronze since these variants have always been made with in-house movements.
