Virtual Relationships and Virtual Love
Virtual Relationships - A Virtual Crush or Love?
This Lens approaches the growing number of virtual relationships and the ways they can develop, the healthy long distance relationships and the unhealthy - If you have any doubts about a relationship you think its jumping to your "real" self and if you are unsure on how to look at it and how to proceed this lens is for you.
It will state some more frequent types of online dating and virtual relationships, how they differ, which ones have a good outcome, which ones don't, how to think of it and more general info about the subject.
I am currently committed to a great girl who I met online and I had a virtual relationship with her for about 2 years or something so I'm really talking about my experience with virtual relationships - this one passed to the "real" me, but since I am a second life player and online experienced guy I bumped with interested women often and learnt how to separate things.
Since I first started this lens, I got a lot of feedback from people that are committed or found out their love in this kind of relationship, so for those that are against this type of flirting remember, you can find on the net people of all kinds, just as in real life, and it's pretty simple that cases where this happen will inevitably slip into love some times.
If you have an online crush, then you must read the following lens.
So, virtual relationships work, and I'm the living proof as I converted one into a real life relationship. Is it going to work for you? Read and be the judge.
Good Luck
The growing phenomenon - Virtual Love
Why is it getting more common?
This topic is easy to cover.
The first point is - We spend more time in the computer.
The society some years ago (and not a far away past) saw the internet as a mean of gathering info, a work method, a work tool, and maybe an ocasional place to hang out.
Now, we as individuals are spending lots of time on the internet and face it as a networking tool. Social networks like facebook, orkut and hi5 are an expansion of our true self, we use online gaming, second life, chat roulette and all those services, apps and games that join us with thousads of other players, users, and possible crushes daily.
Other than that, our society is getting less sociable, we don't speak to our neighbours the way we used to, we don't know everybody in the pub like some years ago and people got isolated. The web is the safe haven for social interactions and people talk to online friends for more time than they talk to real friends.
Another good point is the interest niche. If you use second life - second life is a like you have. And the thing is, you will only meet people that like second life on second life, which is obvious. This segments a population piece for you. So, using the net you are also getting an increased chance you will meet people that match you.
But it is easy to get a crush on someone that uses an avatar to get himself/herself represented. Avatars are usually idealized and aesthetically attractive, and it detours your mind that there is a real person behind it, and you get the fantasy that you are talking to it, you grow an emotional tie with the avatar. (the picture has a secondlife avatar).
How to sort out a Virtual Crush from a Virtual Love - It can be tricky, but I'll tutor you...
So, as the image says, a crush only lasts for 4 months - But this is applied to "REAL" cases. Yours is a virtual one so this study doesn't bear the same weight.
This happens because you have a barrier between you and her. You don't see her move around and do normal things, you don't see the full array of expressions, you don't catch her in moments she is not prepared, and every sentence can be prepared and you can always make ammends if something goes wrong. These are just examples, the truth is a virtual crush can last longer.
So now I'll teach you how to tell the difference.
If you are a guy... - Two cases.
Case 1 - You have a girlfriend.
This was actually my case, I had been dating the same real life girl for 3 years.
Make yourself these questions. (Comparing the real life girlfriend and the virtual crush)
1- Who do you like to chat with the most?
2- Who do you think about more troughout the day?
3- Who do you preffer to say goodnight or good day to?
Now, think about why did you answer the way you did.
Lately this point is the main point:
As you are a guy, you have some real girls besides your girlfriend you are interested in or didn't mind hanging out with. Compare your biggest real life crush with that virtual crush.
Question- If you could get the real crush would you leave your girlfriend to be with her? If you could choose between the virtual crush, the real crush and the girlfriend, who would you choose?
Analyze the way you answered.
These questions suffice, if you answered favourably to the virtual crush in all these questions congratulations, you are inlove. Fight for her.
Case 2 - You are single
This simplifies things. Think that you could have any girl you know. Would you still want to get together with the virtual crush? Do you imagine yourself old in a sunset with her, with kids with her, making your life with her? Or are you just enjoying the "hunting game" and you didn't even think about marriage and life with her?
If you haven't thought of marriage and family with her.... it's a crush.
Great Stuff on Amazon
If you are a girl - ....2 cases, with an extra dose of attention.
Case 1 - You have a boyfriend,
The steps from the boy list apply, make these questions and analyse them - however you may not have a real crush at all so in this case think about it this way. Look at your relationship - Are you resigning and thinking - I will never get the virtual crush, might as well stay with him... - or - I love my boyfriend, and though I Love this virtual guy this is impossible and will never happen.
If you are thinking any of these two you are rationalizing, you do this to avoid the main question - If you had the choice to pick anyone of the two, who would you honestly, sincerelly pick? Think about it and be honest with yourself. If you have picked the virtual crush then you are inlove. Leave your boyfriend, you are making him act as dumb.
Case 2- You are single.
The same question as in the boy category applies, with this extra question - Did you confirm his personality? Guys have the love for hunting and even if they love the girl more than everything they will make up some central keys of they're speech. Investigate what he claims through google, and confirm his identity and his claims. You may think im being suspicious but Im not. Guys have that problem even if they are honest and inlove. They desperatly want to look interesting and are SUPER afraid of rejection. If you find out something is a lie just tell him its ok and say you don't like him because of this and that. If its really a huge fact he is hiding or changing - be careful
The extra dose of attention: Well I am more careful with the girl advices because there are lots and lots of predators and pervs around in the web. Im sure you heard this lots of times, but I have some really clever girls I know that were deceived by long distance and online dating.
You have to understand the male body and mind are tottally different from the feminine one so here are the 4 key points to suceed in filtering honest guys for less honest ones:
- Confirm everything he says - If you are questioning about your feelings for him he must already gave you his name, school or job etc...confirm those in google, its really simple
- Try to understand if you are not just another one, part of his hunting game or gallery
- Try to understand if he sees you as a lover, a crush or if he sees you as a woman, possibly the mother of his kids.
- Above all, if it seems too good to be true, don't trust him blindly, confirm it again :D
The meeting - ...so you have decided you are inlove and the other half decided as well.
The meeting has 2 key points you should respect.
Point One - Its always the guy that meets the girl. For obvious reasons. A girl going alone to meet a stranger is always dangerous, no matter how good you think the other person is. Guys that love their girls wont mind being the ones to go to her anyway am I right? :)
Point Two - Don't pressure things, take the time you both need. It can be awkward to meet somebody finally. Its normal that you don't feel the same way than when you have a keyboard or miles between you two.
From my story, I can tell you that it went pretty good and I now date my virtual love in the real life - for 2 years and something.
Still it felt kind of awkward at first. The first 5 minutes she even refused to look at me because she was embarrassed.
The final thing I have to say is:
Never give up just because society or the easy way tell you too. You have the right to be happy.
Life will test you to see if you are worthy of obtaining happines.. you have to fight to prove you deserve it.
Be Happy
After reading this lens
What do you think it is for you?

Great lens! ^_^
I like your lens..i believe love happens in any way, no matter its virtual or in real world.
virtual love happens but its hard, before you land the right one you will get all sorts of cons.
virtual love happens but its hard, before you land the right one you will get all sorts of cons.
Good lens, thanks for sharing. Well laid out!x
I have met my partner online. We have been together since March 13, 2012. I personally don't like to refer to our relationship as "virtual", but rather an online, long distance relationship. I feel like "virtual" refers to something that is fake, or not real, whereas our relationship is very real. We have been together for over half a year. We love each other very much. We do plan on marriage (though he is not by any means my fiancé, we do not plan on becoming engaged until we meet in person) we plan on kids, and a life together. I support him through his struggles. I guess I just feel as though this is a "normal" relationship, even though we haven't met in person... Either way, great lens, and I gave it a Squid like.
3yrs ago, I met a guy on a language learning site. I was in London, he was in Rome. We met after 4 months and we have been living together for almost 2yrs now. A virtual relationship can translate into a real one. I met the love of my life, when I was not expecting it at all. Great lens.
I play an MMO on a role-play server. I am a heterosexual married male role-playing a female character. For about six months the bi-sexual part was a hoax. To keep up appearances, I role-played a three-some with a male character and another female character. The other female character is long gone and my little female character is pregnant and married to him. When heâs not around she misses and pines for him. They do everything together, including an active love life with the occasional threesome. When he arrives she runs up to him and throws her arms around him kicking her feet into the air. No one doubts their virtual love. Not even me. Yeah, I know - I could be someone's psychology thesis.
While my experiences with virtual relationships haven't turned out great, it can turn out great. I find that it is crucial to meet with the person before it reaches a level where you're simply stuck in the virtual.
Thanks for sharing this great lens!
Virtual relationships can be rewarding and there is even one happily married Squidoo couple that met through their lenses that I know of. I like how you put up the caution sign here. All our relationships online are virtual and not everyone is honest when they seem to be nice. I tend to think the best of everyone but have been tricked and am reminded of Seth's "all marketers are liars". I've only had virtual "like" and working friendships relationships online and do enjoy them.
Nice lens. Interesting point. I've got several "virtual relationships" ... friends I've developed over the years through our emails and participation in various groups (even before the "Internet" was in the vogue -- it was "usenet" and on a UNIX machine). We started a "virtual community" for writers (I'm a writer) and we had our "storefronts" and enjoyed sharing our quirks and aspirations. Really turned it into a supportive group. Even had a pot-luck party/get-together at the home of one our "members" (Silicon Valley -- where about 60% of our group was based). It was nice meeting some of the folks and putting faces to names. Of course, this was about as far as our "virtual relationships" went. But possibilities existed. Congrats on a Squidoo masterpiece!
I think virtual relationships are better for people who have a hard time meeting people face to face. I think people are more bold when talking to someone online. Great lens.
I had a a virtual girlfriend once and we lasted for about 7 months. It's very hard to handle that kind of relationship since both of you are far from each other.

Lindsey Williams, The Non-Energy Crisis Video
May 22, 2008
Here is a short, 9-minute video featuring Lindsey Williams, a Baptist missionary to Alaska when the original Alaska Pipeline was built in the early 1970's. He gives his testimony in this video. He became the chaplain for the oil company, ministering to the pipeline workers. He was later made an executive of the oil company and attended their board meetings, where he heard their plans. This is the first of 8 videos showing that there are huge oil fields in Alaska with enough oil to supply America with oil for 200 years, but they have been capped off by order of the US government in order to raise the price of oil artificially.
This is something that all of us should be aware of, even if we don't have time to learn all the details. This is more than just a ploy to earn more revenue for the oil companies or for the Saudis. Some people high up in "the system" are deliberately working to destroy the economy of the world. I suspect it is part of the plan originally set forth by Albert Pike in 1859 to bring 3 World Wars. We are now coming up on the third one, which is designed, as Pike wrote, to destroy all three major religions: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, and to replace them with his religion: Luciferianism.

Up until 5 years ago, I had absolutely no Thanksgiving Traditions of my own. No grandma's pumpkin pie recipe to put a twist on, no after-turkey game day rituals to prep for, no hand-me-down stretchy pants to stay warm in. Yup, I was Thanksgiving-traditionless!
You see, I didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving. So, when a college friend asked me to spend my first Thanksgiving with her and her family in Ohio, I was thrilled – and fascinated! First there was her aunt's twist on her grandma's pumpkin pie, then there was the after-turkey game of "pile-up" followed by caroling in snowy driveways in hand-me-down warm, stretchy pants! Even though my first ever pumpkin pie was almost squeezed out of me in that human-pile-up, and, I needed MOTRIN® IB after all the times I fell down in those snowy driveways, I decided I was going to live off of other people's Thanksgiving traditions for eva!
At least… that was until five years ago…
You see, around five years ago on Thanksgiving eve, I, quite unconsciously, gave birth to my own Thanksgiving Tradition. Yes, five years ago, on Thanksgiving eve I began planning and scheming …about what color I was going to paint my kitchen! And, thus it began. Every year since, every Thanksgiving eve, I have found myself gathering together paint and brushes, masking off baseboards, taking switch plates off and …painting.
Last year, I painted my high-ceilinged family room. This year, I painted my daughter's nook-and-crannied, bathroom. While I'm prepping, I psych myself into painting the whole house. I think my head think's am in my 20s. But…every year after I've finished one room, my body reminds me that my 20s are long, long gone! I pull out my winter toolkit stocked with Extra Strength TYLENOL® and MOTRIN® IB from Target to help ease my achy joints and muscles, and set brushes and paint aside – until the following Thanksgiving eve! Is it just me and my old self or does the cold really make "the ouches" more pronounced?
Over these past five years, part of my Thanksgiving-Tradition of painting also includes my post-painting breakfast! Usually it is an indulgent one – like these Pumpkin Pie Waffles! These are not my usual low-sugar, butter-free waffles. These are loaded with brown sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, full fat coconut milk, eggs and butter! Pretty much all the elements of pumpkin pie. Of course, I had to throw in some ground up quick oats and protein-packed chia seeds to give these a bit of a nutritional kick – and help with recovery. While these waffles are indulgent ones, they are still lactose-free and gluten-free provided you use certified GF oats!
[Tweet "Pumpkin Pie Waffles #AD #WinOverWinter @Target @Tylenol @MotrinCA"]
So, this 2016, what were some of your favorite Thanksgiving traditions?
And – does, your winter toolkit happen to have Extra Strength TYLENOL® and MOTRIN® IB in it for when "the ouches" hit?

Jarvis posts classy farewell message following confirmation of City exit
PUBLISHED: 09:24 22 May 2019 | UPDATED: 09:24 22 May 2019

Matt Jarvis feels 'absolutely gutted' that his time at Norwich City was ruined by injury, following confirmation that his contract will not be renewed this summer.
The one-cap England international, who celebrates his 33rd birthday today, was among the players the Canaries confirmed will be leaving this summer when they announced their annual retained and released list on Tuesday.
The winger is alongside Steven Naismith and Yanic Wildschut as the high-profile players whose team at the club has come to an end, although all were expected as they have spent time away from the club on loan.

Following the announcement Jarvis took to his Instagram account to say farewell, after almost four years at City.
"Am absolutely gutted that my time at Norwich City was plagued by injury, but want to wish the club all the success for the future," he wrote.
"Would like to thank all the staff, players and you fans for the special memories I have!"
The former Wolves and Gillingham attacker was initially signed on loan from West Ham in September 2015 and made a bright start, scoring against Bournemouth in a 3-1 Premier League win at Carrow Road, but injured his knee after seven games.
Then manager Alex Neil had seen enough to persuade the Canaries to pay a reported £2.5million in January 2016 and a further 14 games followed but Neil's team slumped to relegation.
A 3-0 loss at Everton in May 2016 proved to be Jarvis' final appearance due to two seasons of knee and ankle problems, eventually returning to U23 action in December of last year and earning a loan move to Walsall in January.
Nine appearances in League One followed before another ankle injury, leaving Jarvis as a free agent this summer after a total of two goals in 21 games for Norwich.

Going back a couple of weeks...
The night before our first radio show Julie and I were asked to be guests at a local wedding venue. I'm fortunate to live in a town that houses a handful of unique historic homes, buildings, museums. I've always loved visiting museums! Hang on, I'm getting off the subject, again.
The Wynbrick Inn as I have known it over the years has a new name, The Wynbrick. I've always been fond of the breezy climate and this place puffs great atmosphere! Maybe I'm a bit bias since this is the official location Lennis and I first met. Well, long story.... He was building the condo's that surround The Wynbrick and I was working for the city of Liberty. One of these days, if you're interested, and it is kind of a crazy story.
Back to The Wynbrick...
The owners of The Wynbrick are great folks. Amy had come in my shop and introduced herself awhile back and then we met the rest of the family the evening of the event.
The kind folks of The Wynbrick prepared lovely round tables for each of the vendors and each table had a darling hand made name plate with each business listed .
Julie and I met Adrianne. You can see more of her lovely work here. She's a jewell!
Julie prepared a vintage wedding display that really popped. I have been telling her for a long time how she needs to offer a vintage rental program with her unique vintage wedding items. Spring will be a good time to help her with that.
Soap, soap, and more soap! The holiday production is full speed ahead and mounds of hand made aromatic soaps are filling the apothecary cabinets.
Enjoy caring and sharing days.

Former slave quarters spark discussion on Roanoke College campus
Joseph McGill is taking a closer look at the bricks of Monterey Quarters.
"I know they are here. I know they are here," he said. "I've just got to find them."
He's looking for fingerprints of the slaves who constructed the building, and once lived there.
"It, to me, is the ancestors reaching to me and I'm reaching to them," He told WDBJ7. "And they're saying tell my story. We were here. Tell my story."
McGill is the founder of The Slave Dwelling Project, a nationally known non-profit working to identify and preserve former slave dwellings.
This week, he has also led a series of discussions on the legacy of slavery, including one by campfire Thursday night when students joined him at Monterey Quarters and spent the night.
"I hope that folks take away that it's okay to preserve these spaces, but it's even more significant or important that we interpret these spaces for what they are, what they started out as," McGill said. "Because if we can incorporate that into the narrative, then I think we can solve some of these problems that exist for us as a nation, as a people."
It's also a good starting point, he said, for a larger conversation on the legacy of slavery, and its impact on racial issues today.
Monterey is slated to become a museum. With the help of McGill and others, the college is considering how the former slave quarters will be used in the future.

Bipolar disorder manifests in extreme changes in energy and activity levels, sleep patterns, and behavior. Like any other serious mental illness, symptoms of bipolar disorder will vary greatly among patient populations. Not only do patients vary in the symptoms that they exhibit, but variations in the intensity of common symptoms further differentiate bipolar patients. This disease is not easy to diagnose during initial onset as the mania and depression can be mistaken for the normal highs and lows we all experience in daily life.
Because bipolar disorder co-occurs with substance abuse in a vast number of cases, some of these patients will be thought to suffer only from addiction and can go for years without being properly diagnosed.
A manic episode can last from several days to several months. Those with type I bipolar disorder will experience the most intense or serious symptoms; those with type II or cyclothymia may exhibit some of the same symptoms as type I, but with less intensity. The symptom most commonly associated with a manic episode is reckless behavior, which typically includes poor impulse control and impaired judgment. The behavior can have long-term consequences that continue to cause problems even after the mania has ended. Examples include binge eating, drinking or drug use, sexual promiscuity, and spending sprees.
Lesser known symptoms of bipolar disorder in the manic phase include agitation, inflated self-esteem, reduced need for sleep, obvious elevated mood including hyperactivity, heightened energy levels, lack of self-control, and racing thoughts, excessive involvement in social activities, quick temper, grandiosity, and becoming easily distracted.
On the other end of the spectrum, bipolar patients will also experience periods of depression. Each patient will experience a different level of depression, from severe or moderate depression to mild depression or low mood (dysthymia)
Symptoms of depression in a bipolar patient include daily low mood; trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions; changes in eating habits (overeating or loss of appetite); fatigue; feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, persistent sadness, and/or thoughts of death; sleep disturbances; suicidal thoughts; withdrawal from social activities and/or personal relationships; and lack of interest in activities that he or she once enjoyed, including sex.
Some of the bipolar symptoms observed during the depressive stage are the polar opposite of symptoms exhibited during the manic phase. To make things even more complicated, there can be an overlap of symptoms in each of the phases, with manic and depressive symptoms occurring together or directly after one another in a "mixed" state. During a mixed state, the patient may be agitated, have trouble sleeping, experience major changes in appetite, or have suicidal thoughts. A "mixed" state can also cause a person to feel very sad or hopeless, yet have an overabundance of energy.
In some severe cases, bipolar disorder can be accompanied by psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions. For someone in a manic phase, psychotic symptoms include thinking that they are a celebrity, wealthy, or a super hero. Conversely, psychotic symptoms during a depressive phase include irrationally thinking of themselves as poor, unsuccessful, or a criminal. Because these symptoms can also occur in schizophrenia, another disorder that manifests in both hallucinations and delusions, some patients with bipolar disorder can be misdiagnosed as schizophrenic.

Wistitee is raising its price. WHAT AN OUTRAGE!! So, now the monkeys will have a lot of extra cash so they can spend their time snoozing under banana trees? That's a thought we can relish.
After an 18-month-long battle that would make The Game of Thrones look like a lighthearted soap opera, we've come to the realization that we need to fine-tune our price point if we want to keep on unveiling T-shirts that both please the eye and provide a long-lasting, comfortable fit. When we launched the Wistitee platform, we were, in fact, placing our bets: the gamble was to offer a high-quality product at a very low price. That's a lot of pressure.
Today – while we're delighted to have satisfied scores of awesome customers (yes, I'm talking about you), while we are happy to have an approval rating over 95%, and while we are proud to have kept ahead of the curve by speeding up delivery times, using improved textiles, and expanding the range of models we offer – we have to face the fact that, when we talk about how rewarding pro bono work can be, our banker breaks into a grin that makes him look more like Pennywise than Ronald McDonald.
Today, we have to be realistic, and so we face two choices:
- We can focus on maintaining our original pricing, which would mean making sacrifices: we would have to move production outside our beloved Belgium, change our screening process, and switch to less costly textiles. Terrible. And a far cry from our true values.
- Alternatively, we can once again place our trust in quality by continuing to offer you the superior T-shirts that have made us famous, screened right here in Belgium. We can continue to compensate you for your loyalty, and implement your suggestions (case in point: the "second time around" shop!). And in doing this, we can improve our prospects for the future.
All of that may seem rather obvious, right? Well, not really. We had to take a few slaps in the face before finally understanding that it would be crazy for us to risk everything that we – and you – had created together.
Wistitee is raising its prices. And you know what? That's good news and that's a good reason to to watch our today's tee !

There are two different kinds of water. You would know what we mean if you go back to your chemistry lessons back in school. One is known as hard water and the other type is called soft water. Hard water is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, metal cations. When hard water gets sprinkled on glass, it can form water spots, which are not easy to remove. These spots can cause permanent ugly spots if they are not cleared instantly. These odd looking water spots are common in bathroom door and kitchen doors and window glass panes.
Here are some tips:
Get rid of these water spots on smaller areas:
Toothpaste: It may sound a bit weird but just try it to see wonders. Just squeeze out some paste and rub it on a piece of paper towel. Sprinkle some water on it, and start rubbing it gently on the spots. Rub till the spot goes or reduces visibly. Next wash the glass thoroughly. Take up a wipe stick and remove the water that still remains on the surface.
Detergent and steel wool: Make the surface wet with water. Take some detergent and rub it with a steel wool. Steel wool leaves the glass with no scratches but polishes the surface. Rubbing with circular motions on the spots will let the spots vanish. After they are gone, splash water and clean it off.
Get rid of these water spots on larger areas:
Water and white vinegar: Make a mixture of water and pure white vinegar in the ration of 1:1. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and get some old newspapers. Spray the mixture on the spots and rub it firmly but gently with the newspapers. You will soon see the shine on your window panes.
Baking soda: Baking soda is known to be a great cleaning agent. Mix some amount of baking soda in some water and put the solution in a spray bottle. Repeat the same procedure as vinegar water solution.
Lemon juice: Make a solution of water and lemon juice. Take some on a soft kitchen towel and rub it on the spots to see effects.
Apart from all these, to get rid of water spots from your windows and slabs, you can buy commercial window cleaners. You can get them at most departmental stores and they are easy to use. The directions for use are written at the back.

The Great Schism
In 1009 Pope Sergius of Rome wrote a confession of faith which included the filioque in the Nicene Creed. Because of this, the Church of Constantinople removed his name and that of the Roman Church from the diptychs (the official list of sister churches and bishops who are liturgically commemorated by a given church). Then in 1014, the Roman Church, after resisting for over 200 years Germanic pressure to adopt the filioque, finally used this addition to the Creed in public worship for the first time—at the coronation of Henry II as Holy Roman Emperor. Ironically, forty years later the Latin Christians would accuse the Greek Christians of being heretical for not using the filioque.
As we have seen, tensions between the two great halves of the Christian world had been simmering for many years, with roots going back to the early centuries of the Church. The two different languages—Greek in the East and Latin in the West—reflected differences in basic worldview, which contributed to different approaches in theology. The Latins tended to use philosophical, legal, and juridical concepts and categories in an attempt to make the mysteries of the Faith more comprehensible to the human mind, while the Greeks tended to more readily accept the paradoxical, ineffable mysteries of the Faith as being ultimately far beyond the limits of human logic and understanding. And the Greeks, more than the Romans, stressed the crucial importance of having a vibrant, dynamic experience and relationship with the living God, in order to better understand the Holy Scriptures and the mysteries of the Faith. Also, the loss of the political unity of the Empire was a huge factor in disrupting communication between East and West. And the rivalry between the Holy Roman Empire in the West and the Byzantine Empire in the East exacerbated the rift.
From the Eastern Orthodox perspective, however, the biggest single reason for the Great Schism was the reassertion of Papal claims to have jurisdictional authority over all the Churches of Christendom. Ever since Bishop Victor of Rome near the end of the second century tried to dictate to the Quartodeciman Christians of Asia Minor concerning the dating of Pascha, a succession of strong Roman bishops, as we have seen, steadily promoted Papal claims over Churches beyond the Roman Church's geographic territory, even though this was in violation of the original pattern of each bishop having jurisdictional authority over his own geographic territory—a pattern clearly affirmed in the canons of the first four Ecumenical Councils. Gradually the Papacy did manage to gain at least nominal authority over all the churches of Western Europe, as we have also seen, by the time of the powerful Pope Nicholas I in the middle of the 9th century.
In the middle of the 11th century, after a long period of weakness and decadence in the Papacy, there occurred an intense period of reform. This reform movement strove mightily to bring an end to widespread moral abuses among the clergy—especially the crime of simony (buying church office), and the practice of clergy who were supposed to be celibate living with concubines. Partly in an effort to deal with these problems, the reformers accomplished a dramatic centralization and expansion of the power of the Papacy.
The reforming movement began with the appointment by the Germanic Holy Roman Emperor Henry III (r. 1039–1056) of a fellow German named Bruno as Pope Leo IX (r. 1048–1054). Along with Leo's efforts to increase the power of the Papacy in Western Europe, it's not surprising that this particularly strong pope would also have been interested in extending Papal influence in the East. At the same time, the fiery Patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularius (r. 1043–1058), was determined to resist all attempts by the Roman Church to impose its will upon the Eastern Church.
The "showdown" came as a result of the Norman invasion of southern Italy beginning in 1016, and the subsequent suppression of Greek practices in the churches in this region where there was strong Byzantine influence. Patriarch Michael retaliated by trying to force the Latin churches in Constantinople to use Greek practices—especially leavened instead of unleavened bread (azymes) in the Eucharist. And Archbishop Leo of Ochrid wrote a comprehensive critique of the Latin beliefs and practices divergent from those of the Eastern Church—especially the filioque, mandatory clerical celibacy, and the use of azymes in the Eucharist.
In response, Pope Leo sent to Constantinople a delegation led by Cardinal Humbert of Silva Candida (d. 1061), a fiery and fiercely anti-Byzantine personality who tried to press Roman claims to their fullest extent. After a cold initial reception, at which Humbert refused to greet the Patriarch with the customary protocol, Michael refused to deal with him any longer. After waiting about two months in the capital, on July 16, 1054, Humbert strode into the great cathedral of Hagia Sophia during a service and placed on the altar a bull of excommunication against "Patriarch Michael and all his followers." In a day or two, he and his fellow legates left for home. Michael, in his turn, excommunicated Humbert "and all those responsible" for the bull of excommunication against him.
Very interestingly, Pope Leo IX died soon after Humbert left Rome for Constantinople, but before Humbert issued the bull of excommunication. And Leo's successor was not elected until near the end of the year. So it would seem that the next pope, Victor II (r. late 1054–1057), could easily have revoked Humbert's action, but he did not choose to do so. And while relations between some of the Eastern Churches with Rome continued to be relatively friendly for quite some time, the reality and extent of the schism gradually deepened and spread, until the sack of Constantinople and its conquest by the Latin knights of the Fourth Crusade in 1204 increased the mutual animosity to such a degree that future efforts at reconciliation had virtually no chance to succeed.
As we know, the Roman Catholic Church is still not in communion with the Orthodox Churches, even though in 1965 Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I lifted the mutual anathemas of 1054.

The winter weather postponed much congressional and Administrative action on energy, environment, and other issues this week, but the Senate has now officially begun floor debate on the first broad bipartisan energy package in nearly ten years.
The Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015 (S. 2012), which cleared, 18-4, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last summer, includes, among other things, language to increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy infrastructure, and grid security, as well as to impose deadlines on the Department of Energy to make final decisions on natural gas exports, permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and expedite the licensing process for hydropower projects. Senate Democrats unveiled an alternative package focused on clean energy last fall that could preview some of the amendments likely to surface during floor debate. Other amendments could include opposition for Obama administration regulations, the validity of climate science, and more. The amendment process, while likely to remain fairly open, will prevent some amendments from being considered germane. There is no guarantee that a bill will move in 2016, though there may be scaled back package, most likely before late fall. After a bipartisan effort fell apart last year in the House, the lower chamber approved its own energy bill (H.R. 8) before the close of the year on a near party line vote. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (R-MI) said at the beginning of the year that he is open to removing some of the more controversial measures of the package in order to craft a more bipartisan measure. Representative Upton is interested in pursuing a measure that replaces the crude oil export language of the House-passed package with LNG language to reflect the Senate bill as well as return to a more bipartisan approach along the lines of what he had initially intended.
With the three-year reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund causing Senators Richard Burr (R- NC) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) to lift their holds on the bipartisan compromise Toxic Substances Control Act reform legislation, the Senate approved the measure (H.R. 2576) with a substitute amendment from Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) just before departing for the year. The Senate and House will conference their bills shortly, with the hope of finalizing TSCA reform early this year. It is very likely that a conference will take the form of informal negotiations, with conferee appointments at the very end.
Also on the agenda through the end of the month includes efforts from tax writers in both chambers to start making significant changes to international corporate taxes, though it remains uncertain whether a bill can be completed this year. Looking at the energy-related agenda between now until the March 18 Easter Recess, Congress is likely to focus on the FAA reauthorization, which may potentially include a tax title, in which not only efforts to fix issues left out of the end of the year package will take place, but some new tax issues may also be included; TSCA reform; pipeline reauthorization; and a bipartisan energy bill. Appropriations will be the primary focus in the post-Easter work period before the November election, and a Lame Duck session may include a debate over the 2016 expiring tax extenders, among other things.
In addition to the delay or cancellation of several energy and environment hearings in both chambers, the House Ways and Means Committee was scheduled to go on a retreat earlier this week, but due to the storm, tax writers will now get together next week. House Democrats will still go on their retreat tomorrow and Friday in Baltimore.
Clean Water Rule Opposition
The House approved a joint resolution of disapproval (S.J. Res. 22) January 13 to overturn the Waters of the U.S. rule. President Obama vetoed the measure January 19, and the Senate was unable January 21 to override the veto, or even bring the measure to the floor.
Methane Rule Review Complete
The White House Office of Management and Budget completed its review January 22 of the Department of Interior's methane rule.
Hottest Year on Record
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released last week data finding that 2015 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880, breaking the previous record from the year before. 2015 global temperatures rose 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit over the 20th century average and surpassed the 2014 record by 0.29 degrees.
Largest RE Contract
The Army signed January 20 its largest renewable contract to date with a plan to supply 65 MW of solar and wind energy to Fort Hood, Texas. The project is expected to save the base at least $168 million over 28 years and is the first contract to include two different renewable energy technologies.
$18 Million for Solar Storage
The Department of Energy awarded January 19 six three-year grants totaling $18 million for integrated photovoltaic and energy storage projects as part of its Grid Modernization Initiative. The intends for the projects to increase domestic solar energy storage in order to integrate that energy more into the country's electrical grid.
Central AC Efficiency Standards
The Department of Energy's Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee approved January 20 a negotiated agreement for energy efficiency standards for central air conditioning and heat pump systems that is expected to save consumers $38 billion and 300 billion kWh over the next 30 years, reducing CO2 emissions by 175 MMT over the same period. The new standards, scheduled to become effective in 2023, are expected to be published as a direct final rule in the coming months.
Venting, Flaring Reduction Proposal
The Bureau of Land Management released January 22 a proposed rule to reduce emissions and natural gas waste in oil and gas fields on federal and Indian lands. The rule could increase royalties and other costs for oil and gas companies. Despite the fact that 84 percent of oil and gas wells already meet the proposed standards, the rule would reduce the venting, flaring, and leaking of methane emissions and volatile organic compounds by 50 percent after being phased out over three years. The agency will hold public meetings on the proposal in February and March before completing the rule by the end of the year.
Chamber on CPP
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a report January 19 contending that the Environmental Protection Agency based the Clean Power Plan on flawed assumptions about renewable energy availability, resulting in unrealistic and expensive targets.
CPP Litigation
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled January 21 that it would not issue a stay of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. Twenty-five states responded January 26 by asking the Supreme Court to block the rule, though if the court grants the stay, the suits would still move forward first in the circuit court before any expected appeal to the high court. The circuit court will hear arguments over the validity of the rule June 2.
CPP Modeling
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released January 19 a white paper offering guiding principles to transmission planners and utilities as they evaluate the Clean Power Plan and work with numerous states on their compliance plans.
January Meeting
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commissioner Tony Clark announced January 21 that he would depart the agency after his term ends June 30. During the commission's monthly meeting, commissioners also proposed lifting the price cap for generators, and comments will be due 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register. The commission also approved a final rule on cybersecurity reliability standards and opened investigations into natural gas rate setting.
Order 745 Upheld
Overturning a U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruling, the Supreme Court upheld January 25 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's demand response program. Justices found that the Federal Power Act permits the commission to regulate demand response programs and that doing so does not impinge on states' authority. The high court also found that the commission's decision to compensate demand response providers at the same price paid to generators is not arbitrary and capricious.
Doubling RE Benefits
The International Renewable Energy Agency released a study January 17 projecting that doubling global renewable energy, as agreed to in Paris, would create jobs and boost national economies, with the greatest gains in Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea. Doubling renewable energy to 36 percent by 2030 would increase the gross domestic product by up to $1.3 trillion, or 1.1 percent, and create 15 million new jobs. Increased renewable energy is expected also to shift trade patterns and significantly improve human welfare indices.
China's Mobile Emissions Standards
China's State Council announced January 18 that it will implement its China V vehicle emissions standards for gasoline and diesel-powered passenger vehicles and heavy-duty diesel vehicles sold, imported, or newly registered by the beginning of 2018. All gasoline-powered light passenger vehicles and diesel-powered heavy-duty vehicles used in public transportation, sanitation, or postal services will have to comply with the standards by next January. Other heavy-duty diesel vehicles must comply nationally by next July, and light-duty diesel vehicles must comply by January 2018.
Low Oil Prices Could Benefit RE
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres said during Abu Dhabi Global Action Day January 18 that low oil prices could increase renewable energy if governments remove direct and indirect fossil fuel subsidies and direct some of the savings into rapid renewable energy development. Her comments contradict conventional wisdom on the subject, though the world spends almost $500 billion a year on fossil fuel subsidies.
China's Energy Use
China's National Energy Administration released data January 19 finding that the country's renewable and nuclear energy industries are benefitting at the expense of coal as the country moves away from heavy industry; power consumption increased only slightly last year in the midst of broad structural changes. The country's gross domestic product expanded by 6.9 percent in 2015 from the previous year, the least since 1990, while power consumption only rose 0.5 percent, down from a 3.8 increase in 2014. Due to reduced coal usage, national emissions fell two percent last year, a 144.9 MMT CO2 reduction. Furthermore, the country plans to increase wind and solar capacity by more than 21 percent this year.
Slower Solar Growth
GTM Research released a report January 22 predicting that global solar power installations will slow by three quarters this year as governments reduce incentives in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Global solar demand increased 34 percent last year to 59 GW, while the solar industry is expected to install 64 GW this year, an 8.5 percent increase.
India Solar Trade Case
The World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement Body will rule January 29 on the legality of India's solar program. The decision could require the country to scale back its local content requirements to comply with its international trade obligations, thus benefitting the United States' solar industry.
Canadian Pipeline, LNG Terminal Test
Canada will release next month a new climate test for pipelines and a liquefied natural gas terminal to determine the greenhouse gas implications of each project.
NY Clean Energy Fund
New York approved January 21 one of the country's most aggressive plans to make the state more reliant on solar and wind energy. The $5.3 billion Clean Energy Fund will help the state's electrical grid obtain half of its power from renewable sources within 15 years, leveraging $29 billion in private investment.
City RE Use Urged
The Sierra Club urged January 21 more than 100 U.S. cities to commit this year to obtaining all of their electricity from renewable sources.
NV Solar
The Nevada Public Utilities Commission announced January 26 that it would seriously consider allowing the state's 15,000 rooftop solar customers to sell their power back to the grid for 20 years. The commission finalized last month a rule that effectively gutted the state's solar rooftop net metering program and applied grid charges to new and existing participants, but will reconsider whether existing customers should be grandfathered.
Residential EE Tax Incentives
The Congressional Research Service released a report January 21 finding that some energy saving tax incentives, particularly on the residential energy efficiency side, may not yield their expected outcomes. The study concluded that many people who invest in energy efficient products would have done so for other reasons.
GHG Reductions Sans Rate Increases
Nature Climate Change published a study January 25 finding that reducing the United States' greenhouse gas emissions may not be incredibly costly. The report concluded that shifting to solar and wind power and expanding the electric grid would allow the country to reduce electricity related emissions by as much as 80 percent without raising power costs.
Social Cost of Carbon Update
The National Academies of Sciences recommended January 26 that the federal government not update its social cost of carbon right now because several parts of the formula were recently adjusted. In the meantime, the organization is preparing a report about possibilities for more comprehensive and longer-term changes to the cost calculation.

Welcome to yet another attempt to confirm my OCD — and yours, apparently! Let's take a look at the Lost Six for this year (the six I didn't cover in my book): Best Documentary (Feature and Short); Best Short Subject (One-Reel and Two-Reel); Best Sound; and Best Editing.
Best Documentary Feature:
Walt Disney continued to rack up his dominance in this category with another True-Life Adventure, the companion to last year's winner, The Living Desert:
I recall seeing this and The Living Desert together when Disney re-released them as a pair in 1971. One of the great tragedies of the rise of VHS and DVD players is the end of this tradition Disney (and other studios) had of re-releasing pictures for a new generation. Movies were meant to be seen on the big-screen, with an audience!
Here's the prairie dog segment of The Vanishing Prairie:
The only other nominee in the category this year — the scarcity a sign of how the long form documentary was going into decline in the Fifties, as the studios dropped them like cow chips — was The Stratford Adventure, a Canadian record of founding of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival of Canada. Film fans will want to see this for a chance to watch Alec Guinness on stage, starring in Richard III. You can see the entire film on the National Film Board of Canada's website here:
And here is how it was originally seen, as a double feature:
Best Documentary Short:
Thursday's Children is a British short about The Royal School for the Deaf, which showcases the historical oddity of focusing on teaching lip reading instead of sign language, which is the norm now. Richard Burton narrates. Clearly, the intent was to erase, as much as possible, the stigma of being deaf, rather than focusing on helping them to learn to communicate. One oddity, as a remnant of my childhood popped up unexpectedly, with the book Little Black Sambo. I recall finding this in the hundreds of children's books from the Fifties my parents had bought for my brothers, who are a decade older than me. Even as a child, I found it uncomfortable. Those kinds of racist images were disappearing in the late Sixties and early Seventies; the restaurant Sambo's had changed their character in their coloring book to an Indian, then shortly dropped it all together and changed their name to The Friendly Tiger. When that failed, they became Season's. Shortly thereafter, they closed completely, except for the original restaurant, surviving today in Santa Barbara, California today as an historical landmark under the original name.
Here is the short, in two parts:
The next nominee was Jet Carrier, filmed aboard the USS Yorktown by Otto Lang, a ski instructor turned Hollywood producer because he taught celebrities how to ski in Sun Valley (he worked on Sun Valley Serenade, as well as Tora! Tora! Tora!). Unfortunately, the short seems to have vanished, although it was filmed in Cinemascope by Twentieth Century-Fox.
The last official nominee was Rembrandt: A Self-Portrait, produced by Morrie Roizman, of whom I know nothing. One assumes the short is about Rembrandt, but unfortunately, as with so many short subjects, no trace seems to exist of this film. I would really like to see this one.
Best Live Action Short, One-Reel:
The winner this year This Mechanical Age, a history of early aviation. Robert Youngson produced. Youngson is most famous for his efforts in the late Fifties and early Sixties to bring back the silent comedians to our national attention, an effort that was highly successful for a generation. He compiled and released The Golden Age of Comedy and When Comedy Was King. This Mechanical Age can be seen here, with some proprietary graphics:
Otto Lang (Jet Carrier) scored another nomination with his short, The First Piano Quartette, which is, like Jet Carrier, sadly missing, although it was filmed in Cinemascope by Twentieth Century-Fox. A musical quartet — Glauco D'Attilli, Adan Garner, Edward Edson, and Frank Mittler — play Ernesto Lecuona's "Malaguena," Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune," and John Phillip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
MGM continued in the same musical vein in The Strauss Fantasy, with Johnny Green conducting the MGM Symphony Orchestra in a medley of Strauss waltzes and polkas. One presumes, as with the Otto Lang pieces, that they are still in the vaults, awaiting re-release on some appropriate DVD as special features.
Best Live-Action Short, Two-Reel:
Two UCLA students won the Oscar for A Time Out of War, a Civil War film based on a public domain story from 1897 by Robert W. Chambers, a writer remembered today almost entirely for his influence on H.P. Lovecraft with the weird tales in his collection, The King in Yellow. Denis Sanders and his brother Terry used this short — and the Oscar — to catapult themselves into film careers. Charles Laughton was so impressed with the short he hired the brothers as second unit directors for his magnificent The Night of the Hunter. Denis directed the film debuts of Robert Redford, Tom Skeritt, Sydney Pollack, and George Harrison in 1962 with War Hunt. He would go on to win another Oscar in 1970 for his documentary, Czechoslovakia 1968. Terry made a number of documentaries, and he continues as a filmmaker today.
A Time Out of War is clearly an anti-war piece, calling on us to recall our common humanity with the enemy.
Oddly enough, I had a teacher back in high school show us this on a movie projector, and I recall how moved we were. Nobody had much to say; nobody needed to. I would really like to see this one again, but it seems to be unavailable.
The next nominee was Otto Lang, double dipping with his film Jet Carrier. Unfortunately, it's still missing.
Beauty and the Bull was the next nominee, offering up Bette Ford — better known as an actress in Clint Eastwood's Sudden Impact — as a tourist in Mexico who gets excited by bullfighting and eventually trains to be a matador. She was the first American woman to appear as a bullfighter in Mexico's largest bullring! While I couldn't find the short, here is Ford on What's My Line, with Ernie Kovacs as one of the guest questioners!
The final nominee is another Disney short in his People and Places series, Siam. Today known as Thailand, Siam is shown as a place of exotic beauty and interest. Unfortunately, the short seems to be completely unavailable, which is highly unusual for Disney, who have spent a considerable amount of effort in recent years making practically EVERYTHING available. I grew up with the accompanying book — and I recall it with fondness, and look forward to seeing the short someday,
Best Sound Recording:
The Glenn Miller Story won for best sound recording, and it's not hard to see why. Even though Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson don't really do much more than play their basic screen personalities — Stewart the aw-shucks humble good guy, and Allyson the eternally devoted wife — there is a charm to the music that can't be denied. Miller himself was a real son-of-a-bitch taskmaster, and was far from the devoted husband shown here. The music also didn't develop in anywhere near the fashion shown here, but there is much big band vanilla to enjoy. I still hope that someday somebody will film the life story of Duke Ellington, a far greater composer, innovator, and bandleader, and do the man justice.
Brigadoon isn't the best musical MGM ever made, although Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse have their moments. The budget cuts necessitated by the declining box office doom Brigadoon to second class status, unfortunately.
The strawberries! Actually, I think The Caine Mutiny got a nomination for us being able to hear Humphrey Bogart's steel ball bearings clicking more than anything else.
Rear Window is an outstanding choice, given the subtle nuances of Jimmy Stewart's voice throughout, captured as perfectly as the gentle swish of Grace Kelly's fashion designs and Thelma Ritter's wisecracks.
The final nomination is an odd one: Susan Slept Here, with Dick Powell (in his last screen appearance) and Debbie Reynolds, mining the cute. I'm not sure why there's a nod here for sound recording, and I think A Star Is Born would have made a much better choice, for capturing Judy Garland's final screen songs so brilliantly.
Best Editing:
This time, they were more than a contendah!
On the Waterfront is a reasonable choice, although nothing fancy occurs in the editing. Just very effective storytelling (even if Elia Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg were rat bastards during the McCarthy era).
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is an eminently acceptable choice, for helping to merge the special effects with the more mundane footage. The battle with the squid should be a textbook example of how to cut action sequences, and I might even go so far to argue that that scene is the best editing of the year, even if much of the rest of the picture weren't so mundane and slow-paced).
The Caine Mutiny is not a film I would recommend for editing, since it badly needs about a half an hour torn out (the pointless romance, particularly).
Ditto with The High and the Mighty, which is badly in need of pruning and a considerable amount of rewriting on the often bone-headed script.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, on the other hand, should receive more kudos for the inventive pacing and staging of the musical numbers, particularly the barn-raising (destroying?).
I might suggest a better choice for the editing Oscar would have been Rear Window, for reasons I think are obvious — no other film this year is more expertly cut to tell a story.
And that completes yet one more year of penance! You can see why I did avoid the shorter categories — what were once simply holes have moved into entire categories being almost vanished. I do hope somebody finds a way to recover these lost films — which I suspect exist in vaults out there. I think the Academy should put some more effort into preserving their history — which they already do much for — and find a way to release these shorts in collected packages. I know TCM shows shorts several times a month as fillers — perhaps they can go look for these, since they probably own the rights to most of them.
So that's 1954! Thanks for coming by!
Feel free to make other suggestions below in the comments.
As always, I have much more to say in my book: http://www.amazon.com/WHO-Won-Irreverent-Look-Oscars/dp/069232318X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
