I like this guy. There aren't a whole lot of English Lutherans. I'm not one either. Huh? Well, my ancestors are from Suffolk, and I professed the Lutheran faith, taught in Scripture and correctly stated in the Book of Concord, when I was 46. Close enough. At least to really admire Robert Barnes. Not just for what he did but moreso for what we can learn from it now for us. To see what that is, let's get into what he did and his times.
I. Who Is Robert Barnes And Who Are The English?
Robert Barnes was born about 1495 in Lynn, formally Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. Norfolk, Suffolk -- that's the North folk and the South folk of East Anglia, once its own kingdom, named after ourselves, the Angles, who are named in turn from where we came, Angeln, or Anglia in the international language of the day, Latin, in the modern state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany, way up North damn near, er, just South of, Denmark.
Before us, a Brythonic tribe called the Iceni lived in the area. Who are the Brythons? A Celtic tribe whose land it was before we, the Saxons, the Danes, the Vikings and yet more starting piling in. It's from them that we get the words Britain, British, etc. The Romans invaded Britain in 43 BC, called the place Brittania after the Brythons, and as they did in many places, left the local stuff pretty much alone so long as they obeyed the Roman governors. Despite revolts here and there, including the great one by the Iceni queen Boudica, they held out until about 400 AD. That's when the Saxons from Germany moved in, uninvited, the bleeders.
We were invited. The Iceni ended up pretty much wiped out, but in 433 the Brythons asked us if we'd like to come over and settle since things were getting a bit sparse, and help against the Picts too. How about that -- in a world history of pretty much conquer and re-conquer everywhere, we were invited to come! We Angles are all like that -- just look at the irenic tone, the stepping back from controversy, the staid measured writing style, for which I am known throughout the Lutheran blogosphere. Anyway, about 520, the North folk and the South folk united to form the Kingdom of East Anglia, one of seven kingdoms that emerged in what would become the United Kingdom, literally.
East Anglia is called such to this day as a region of England, generally also including Cambridgeshire to the West and often Essex to the South too. Anglia is the root of the words England and English for the whole thing and its language, East Anglian or not.
Lynn, in Norfolk, shows its Celtic origins in that the name simply means "lake" in Celtic. Robert Barnes was born there, and went to Cambridge for the university there, where he was associated with the Augustinian friars, same as Luther. Ah Cambridge. Seems that in 1209, some Oxford scholars got upset at the hanging of two Oxford scholars by the town for murder and rape of locals, so they went to the school at Cambridge and turned it into a university, the second oldest in the English speaking world. Ah, the pure pursuit of learning, when academic freedom also included no prosecution for murdering and raping locals. Call it academic immunity. Talk about town and gown! Well, at least there actually is a bridge over a river Cam.
II. So How Does An English Guy End Up Reading A German Reformer?
Anyway, Barnes also hung out at the White Horse Tavern, aka White Horse Inn, in Cambridge where starting about 1521 groups met to discuss Luther and his thought, including Thomas Cranmer, Miles Coverdale, William Tyndale, and others. Because of their interest in the ideas coming from Germany, the group got the nickname "the Germans". Damn, wish I was there.
In 1523 he graduated Doctor of Divinity, or Divinitatis doctor, from Cambridge. At Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve 1525, Barnes preached an openly Lutheran sermon, at St Edward's church in Cambridge. He was brought up on charges, examined by Thomas Cardinal Wolsey -- a Suffolk boy, from Ipswich -- Lord Chancellor to the King, Henry VIII, and ended up being sent to jail in 1526.
He escaped two years later, made his way to Antwerp and then Wittenberg, where he met Luther and was his house guest. I'm guessing they spoke Latin to each other. Maybe he learned German, like me, hanging around with the fellas. Damn, wish I was there too. While there, as Luther noted in his work to be mentioned below, he used neither his title nor his name, enrolling simply as Antonius Anglus (there's the Angle thing again).
In 1536 he was able to return to England, working as a liaison between the English government and Lutheran rulers and churchmen in Germany. In 1535 they sent him back to Germany, to get Lutheran support for Henry's efforts to get a divorce from Catherine of Aragon and Henry's vision of reformation in England. He didn't get it, and Henry never forgot it. Catherine of Aragon was really Catalina de Aragon. What does this mean? (If you're Lutheran and ain't laughing, oh well.)
III. So Why Was An English Guy Reading A German Reformer A Big Deal?
Oh boy here we go. Now Catalina was married to Henry's older brother Arthur, who was supposed to become king, being the first son of Henry VII, but he died before his dad (predeceased him, if you like it put that way) so Henry became the heir. This was a big deal. Henry VII claimed descent from the legendary King Arthur and said his son would restore the glory days of the equally legendary Camelot, and thus named him Arthur. And to bolster his kingdom against the French by an alliance with Spain, just recently united under Isabela I de Castilla and Fernando II de Aragon, a marriage was arranged when Arthur was 2 between him and their daughter Catalina.
Henry VII had another problem too. None of the other European monarchs recognised him as a real king -- you know, by birth. He became king by his victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Hill in the "War of the Roses", between the House of Lancaster, which he as Henry Tudor led, and the House of York, of which Richard III was the last English king, since he not only lost the battle but was killed in it. Well hell, Richard had become king by taking power from his nephew King Edward V, who was just twelve and, um, disappeared after Richard took power, but they were born to this stuff so it's OK. Henry Tudor wasn't.
Not only that, his great grandfather on his mother's side, guy named John Beaufort, was a bastard. No, not that kind, born out of wedlock. Now John's dad, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, was indeed the third son of Edward III, but he did not lock in wed with John's mother, Katherine Swinford, his mistress of some 25 years, until after John and three other kids were born, and even at that she was his third wife. Which made the kids legitimate, but not eligible for the throne because they were not legitimate by birth.
So here's Henry Tudor with his claim to the throne, all other claimants from the House of Lancaster dead in battle, murdered, or executed, resting on military victory, with an illegitimate ancestor by birth, and not on the male side of his ancestry. That's why all the stuff about jumping over all that to the legendary King Arthur. And also why Catalina as queen would make the House of Tudor accepted as for real by all the other kings and queens. Catalina was actually of descent from the House of Lancaster, and was named after Catherine of Lancaster, her great grandmother and a legitimate daughter of John of Gaunt and his wife Constance of Castile, who was his second wife but that's OK as his first, Blanche, died of the Bubonic Plague two years before they were married, so there's a wrap on that.
Catalina had all the cards to make everything OK. Not only that, she was enormously well though of in all respects: highly educated, devoutly Catholic, privately critical of many of the moral abuses and superstitions the Lutherans condemned but nonetheless had no time for Luther or the Lutherans, and was a lay member of the Franciscan Order. That's what's called a secular tertiary, meaning a lay member of the third order, the first order being friars (OFM, Order of Friars Minor, there ain't no friars major, the phrase is from "little brothers" or fraticelli translated into Latin) and the second nuns (OSC, Ordo Sanctae Clarae or Poor Clares, from St Clare, a female follower of St Francis). She was praised by such notables as Erasmus, who called her a defender of the faith, and Thomas More, who said she was also a complete and total babe, or words to that effect.
After a long-distance relationship by mail, Arthur and Catalina finally met on 4 November 1501 and were married 14 November 1501 at St Paul's Cathedral in London. He didn't know Spanish and she didn't know English, and even when they tried the international language of the day, Latin, that didn't work due to differences in pronunciation! Then they both get sicker than hell, most likely from the deadly "sweating sickness" that swept England from 1485 to 1551 and hasn't come back since. She recovers, but he dies on 2 April 1502 and that blows the whole thing all to hell.
IV. I'm Henery The Eighth I Am.
It gets worse. Now Henry VII has two more problems! One is, with Arthur dead after not even five months of marriage, he would have to pay back Catalina's dowry, but he needed the cash! What's a dowry? Serious stuff in those days. No it was not part of a woman being bought and sold like a commodity. Quite the opposite, a dowry was meant to insure her well being and provide an incentive against mistreatment of her. It provided money toward the establishment and maintenance of the new household, and, there being no "life insurance" at the time, provided for their support should he die, since the dowry remained hers, not his. A woman without a dowry might have a problem getting a husband, and you know what, that is what the original Santa Claus, St Nicholas, was all about tossing money into stockings -- to provide poor girls a dowry that their fathers could not, so they would find husbands and not end up prostitutes or in the slave trade; it wasn't just something for fun to open on 25 December!
Plus there's the legitimacy that Catalina's descent brought, but, when her mother died, Castilla (Castile) passed to her older sister, Juana la Loca (Johanna the Mad) so that diminished somewhat Catalina's desired cred since she was now just a king's daughter. Nonetheless it was decided that she would marry the new heir, Arthur's younger brother Henry, five years younger than she, though Henry VII had second thoughts. The marriage was put off, officially to allow young Henry to grow up a bit, hell he was only 10 at the time, but really because it solved the giving back the dowry problem. Henry VII died on 21 April 1509, and Henry VIII and Catalina were married 11 June 1509.
But more problems. In Roman Catholic canon law (church law) a man cannot marry his brother's widow. For you canon law freaks, and others uncomfortable with my sometimes offhand style of discourse, this is called the impediment of affinity. But given sufficient power and money, and church laws being church laws but not divine laws, one can get what one wants; like Sister Sarah said in Two Mules For Sister Sarah, by Clint Eastwood, the pre-eminent theologian of our time, "The church has dispensations". The Pope at the time was Julius II, who gave himself some unofficial dispensations, shall we say, having illegitimate children, one who survived being Felice, after whose birth he married her mother (Lucrezia) off to the majordomo of his cousin's (a Cardinal) household. All quite openly, hell, she's in a painting by Raphael. Well, like Sister Sarah said...
Henry VII got the dispensation from Julius II, mostly because Catalina's mom La Reina Isabela was also leaning on Pope Julius to give it. In support of the case for it, Catalina said she and Arthur never bopped (oh sorry, said that the marriage was never consummated). Actually Henry, being at this point a widower, could have married her himself, and did give some thought to marrying somebody and having more male heirs.
Now whyzat, what's wrong with the younger Henry? The thing is, Henry-soon-to-be-VIII was not brought up to be king, Arthur was, and Henry was educated for a church career, to probably end up Archbishop of Canterbury -- you didn't think being a bishop in state churches from the old Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox in the East, had a damn thing to do with being an overseer (translated bishop) in the Christian church, or was anything more than a state office, I hope.
So Catalina and Henry, now 17 and she 23, were married 11 June 1509, and on 24 June 1509 (Midsummer's Day, btw) were crowned king and queen (queen consort actually, meaning a queen who is queen by being married to the king but the king is the ruler) of England in Westminster Abbey. King Henry VIII.
V. How the Catalina Thing Played Out.
Catalina proved an exceptional queen. Even before her marriage, she had been the Spanish ambassador to England, the first woman in Europe ever to hold an ambassadorship. In 1513 Henry made her regent (ruling in his absence) when he went to France on a military campaign, and Catalina went downrange herself, leading the army though pregnant against the invading Scots (holy crap, over a millennium before, the Brythons asked us to move in and help them with the Picts, and they're still invading, persistent bleeders!) and won. She also commissioned a book, The Education of Christian Women, it being a novel idea at the time that women, Christian or otherwise, be educated. And she was conversant with the great scholars Erasmus and Sir Thomas More. Even Cromwell, who hated her, said if she weren't a woman she could have gone up against any of the great heroes of history.
But that wasn't good enough. Catalina was pregnant six times: a stillborn daughter in 1510; a son, even named Henry, who died in 1511 after 52 days; another son who died at birth in 1513; yet another stillborn son in 1514; then in 1516 a healthy baby but who was a girl (this would be Queen Mary, oh hell ya); and in 1518 another girl who died though. Looked like she couldn't even give birth to the wrong sex right.
Henry began to think his marriage was cursed because it had been wrong in the first place. Leaning on Leviticus 20:21 he began to think the prohibition in the Law against a man marrying his brother's wife, with the consequence that they be childless, was the basis of what was happening, and therefore old Julius II even though pope could not legitimately grant a dispensation. So he took the case to the then current pope, Clement VII.
Well, there's some problems with that. For one thing, Catalina always maintained her marriage to Arthur was not consummated. She rejected appeals to quietly become a nun. To top it all off, the pope, Clement VII, following the Sack of Rome, the one in 1527, was the prisoner of Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, yes, the same one to whom the Augsburg Confession was presented in 1530, but who also doubled, as Carlos I, as king of Spain, and was Catalina's nephew. So there was some doubt he would side with Henry against Aunt Cathy, shall we say, or allow the pope to do so.
Not to mention, though I am about to, that about 1521 Henry started bopping Mary Boleyn, one of Catalina's maids of honour and otherwise Mrs William Carey. No, not Anne, Mary. Right along with all the Biblical high principles and stuff. Hey, used to be only kings and royalty and bishops got to do this kind of stuff and get away with it, now we all do, so no finger-pointing!
In 1535 Barnes (remember him, this post is actually about him!) was sent back to Germany in hopes he could get his Lutheran friends to side with Henry about the annulment. Didn't work. Emperor Charles sided with Aunt Cathy, and so for that matter did Luther himself. So did such otherwise different men as More and Tyndale. Hell, even Henry's sister Mary Tudor sided with the queen! So Henry turned to him whom he had earlier avoided, Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, for the appeal.
Old Tom, Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor to the king and created cardinal by Pope Leo X in 1515, worked like hell to get the annulment. He argued that the pope could not overrule the Bible, assuming of course Henry's case fit the Bible's scenario, back to the whole consummated thing. He argued the wording of the dispensation was faulty, but, guess what, a properly worded version turned up in, guess where, Spain! Finally he argued that the decision, he being papal legate in England and all, should be made in England, and of course he knew which side he would take. The pope took that one, in 1528, but said he would send a second legate too from Rome, who took his sweet time getting there and getting things going.
Wait, there's more! Remember Mary Boleyn? She was at the royal court and began an affair with Henry about 1521 and it lasted about 5 years. She was already good at affairs, having had several in France including one with the King of France, Francis. Somewhere along the line her sister, less attractive but more ambitious and intelligent, Anne, caught the king's eye, but Anne was not about to be any old mistress like her sister had been, she held out for the whole pie, queen. Which made getting the annulment all the more imperative. Man, would to-day's diocesan RC marriage tribunals been handy then!
Well after all the delays the pope decides Henry may not marry until the Great Matter, as it was called, was settled in Rome, not England. Wolsey took the fall for that decision, Anne getting him ousted from government office in 1529. But old Tom fought back, and tried secret arrangements with Catalina and the pope to have Anne forced into exile from England. But he was found out and, though he remained Archbishop of York, was arrested for treason and would have been executed except he got sick and died in 1530 on his way to London to face trial.
Wolsey was replaced as Lord Chancellor by Sir Thomas More, Catalina gets banned from the court and her rooms given to Anne, and when the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, William Warham, died, in the finest tradition of apostolic succession, Anne had the Boleyn family priest Thomas Cranmer, made the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The pope wasn't too keen on this, but after the King of France leaned on him a bit -- more apostolic succession -- he relented and gave the pallium, a sign of a bishop's special affinity with the pope, to Cranmer.
VI. Next?
It all went downhill pretty fast after that. Cromwell gets the Law of Supremacy, which recognised the final authority of the king over the church in England, passed in Parliament, More resigns over it, Henry and Anne wed secretly, Henry meets with the King of France to get his support for the marriage, Anne gets pregnant, the couple is publicly married 25 January 1533, on 23 May 1533 Cranmer in church court rules the marriage between Henry and Catalina was no marriage at all because it was invalid (that's what annulment is, not divorce, a recognition that no marriage in the sacramental sense ever took place because the marriage rite was done under invalid conditions, hence null, hence the term annulment) and on 28 May rules Henry and Anne are validly therefore truly married, on 1 June Anne is crowned Queen of England and on 7 September Queen Anne gives birth! To a daughter, oh MAJOR oops!
Nonetheless Parliament enacts the Act of Succession of 1533 (hell of a year, that) recognising Anne's, not Catalina's, children as legitimate and heirs, and in a sign of things to come, repudiates any appeal to any foreign authority of any kind (guess who that means) and high treason punishable by death to publish any such things. Yeah, my kingdom is not of this world indeed!
Judas, Parliament even made it a matter of praemunire facias -- holy crap what's that? Well, it's bogus mediaeval Latin for a bogus mediaeval English idea that it is treason to appeal to any authority beyond the king re the church in England, from which acts the sheriff does (that's facias) a warning (that's praemunire). Praemunire actually means to fortify, but the word was mistaken for the correct Latin for warning which is praemonere, the ancestor of the word premonition. Bad Latin for a bad idea.
Henry warn't no Lutheran. In 1521 Henry VIII published Assertio septem sacramentorum, A Defence of the Seven Sacraments, which he had shown to Wolsey and then expanded as an attack on Luther's De captivitate babylonica of 1520, a key influence on me, and dedicated it to Pope Leo X, who in turn named Henry Fidei defensor, Defender of the Faith, on 17 October 1521. But after Henry decided he was head of the church in England in 1530, Pope Paul III revoked the title and Henry was excommunicated, but the English Parliament restored it, and the English monarch to this day remains Supreme Governor of the Church of England, formally above the "Archbishop" of Canterbury.
Prince Charles said in 1994 he wants the title changed to Defender of Faith, not the Faith. Well, rock on Church of England/Anglican Communion.
Hell, Pope Clement blew a gasket at that, excommunicated Henry and Cranmer, said Cranmer's annulment decision was itself null and broke off relations with England. Anne miscarries in 1534 and by year's end Henry is trying with Cranmer and Cromwell to figure a way to dump Anne without having to go back to Catalina. Then what the hell but Catalina dies, Henry and Anne rejoice, since death breaks the bond of marriage, Anne's pregnant, and -- MAJOR MAJOR oops, miscarries with a baby boy on, guess what, 29 January 1536 the very day of Catalina's funeral. I ain't making this up and didn't read it in a Dan Brown novel either. Who needs that when the truth is way weirder!
VII. And Next?
Well hell Henry is bopping a lady in waiting at court named Jane Seymour (no, not the actress) anyway, and hell yes, death ends any claim of marriage, so whadya know but charges of infidelity and treason are brought against Anne, she's arrested along with five guys, including her brother, accused of schtupping her, they are executed and five days later, 19 May 1536, so is Queen Anne. The next day, Henry and Jane are engaged, and ten days after that, are married. Wow. Another Act of Succession says now Jane's kids are first in line for the throne. Jane gets pregnant and gives birth to, guess what, a baby boy (who will be Edward VI)! Problem solved!
Well no. She also gets an infection in childbirth and dies on 24 October 1537. Henry gets his long desired son but loses his queen, whom he always afterward thought of as his true wife and next to whom he is now buried in Windsor Castle.
Now it would be easy to put this all down to attitudes towards women, but that would be to read it as if it were happening now. Yes, that was part of it, but only part. We saw above, at least I hope we did, I went on about it enough, that civil war and legitimate occupancy of the throne had kept England in a state of civil war at home and in problems abroad for years and years, and we saw that Henry had that much on his mind, and also that he not leave such a situation behind when he died. Having an unquestioned heir and ruler, at home and abroad, was a really big deal. Henry had exactly the same problems his dad did, just with different details.
Of course they were centuries from knowing it is the father who determines the sex of the child!
VIII. Number Four and The End For Barnes.
Well a guy's gotta move on, right? So Cromwell starts thinking this Anne of Cleves would be a hell of a good idea as his next wife, even gets a guy to go paint a portrait of her to convince Henry. Why her? Well, Anne of Cleves is really Anna von Juelich-Kleve-Berg. That's near Düsseldorf. Wherezat? It's the dorf -- village -- near the delta of the river Düssel for crying out loud, a tributary of the Rhein, oh sorry, Rhine. Anna was the daughter of the Duke there, John II, and was promised at age 12 to be the wife of Francis I, Duke of Lorraine, but Cromwell thought she'd make this hell of a wife for Henry since Protestant German allies would help if the Catholics invaded England, so Barnes, with his German connexion, was involved in helping with that, and it happened.
Henry was not all that into the idea, hoped Cromwell could find a way out, but there was too much at stake in alliances with the Germans for that, so they were married 6 January 1540 by bleeding Cranmer himself, but there was no consummation of the marriage and by Summer Henry wanted out. The Duke had ticked off the Holy Roman Emperor and Henry did not want to get into that either. So Barnes was asked to help in the annulment of Henry's marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, and an annulment was granted on the basis of the contract with Francis and there having been no consummation, which, in more contemporary language, means no sex. Anna went along with it all and fared pretty well in contrast to Henry's other wives, and for going along with annulment she lived out her life relatively well, not to mention in the former home of the Boleyns, Hever Castle, which was given to her.
But those involved with setting the marriage up didn't fare so well. Henry already had refused to accept Lutheran theology, the Six Articles of 1539 effectively renounced Lutheranism and affirmed Roman practices considered abuses by Lutherans. The Six Articles affirmed 1) transubstantiation, 2) communion in host only, 3) clerical celibacy, 4) vows of chastity, 5) private masses, 6) auricular confession, private confession of sins to a priest.
Then the annulment in 1540 also worked against Barnes. He preached against Bishop Stephen Gardiner (another Suffolk boy), active in the enforcement of Catholic doctrine, in the Spring, was forced to recant, then recanted his recant and professed the Lutheran faith, for which he and two others were burnt alive for heresy under the Six Articles, along with three others for treason for denying royal supremacy over the church, on 30 July, 1540.
In Germany, Lutherans and Catholics alike were shocked and outraged. Luther took Barnes' final confession of faith, translated or had it translated into German, wrote a preface to it himself, and published it later that year (1540) as Bekenntnis des Glaubens.
IX. What Happened To The Other Guys and Everyone Else.
Cromwell was executed 28 July 1540, two days before Barnes, by beheading in the Tower of London. Thomas Cranmer, who would become the first non-Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury, who believed in the right of the king to determine the faith of the nation and all its people, which makes it hard when you go back and forth between Catholic and "Anglican" monarchs, recanted his recantation of his recantation, whatever, and was burnt at the stake 21 March 1556 under the Catholic Queen Mary.
Remember Mary, that's Catalina's daughter! Wanna know the kicker? After all this long story coming from an enormously complicated matter of the legitimacy of and succession to the Tudor line of kings of England, Henry ruled for just short of 38 years and left only three heirs of either sex, and within about ten years of his death on 28 January 1547 all three of them came to the throne -- Anne Boleyn's daughter becoming Elizabeth I and as we saw Jane Seymour's son becoming Edward VI -- and not a one of them left an heir! Not a one! Elizabeth I was the last Tudor on the throne. And she never even married! All that for nothing.
Through secret negotiations Elizabeth arranged for the House of Stuart (or Stewart) to take over a combined England and their original Scotland. Man, the Scots again. And we (Angles) were asked to come there and keep them out way back when. Now they're gonna be the royal line of the whole damn place! Well, not really, the Stuarts aren't real Scots, they're Normans from Brittany in France who arrived in Scotland after the Norman Conquest of England. The last Stuart was Queen Anne, who died 1 May 1707, and the English again turned to the Germans to solve things, with the House of Hanover taking over and lasting until the death of Queen Victoria in 1901.
Victoria's son, by patrilineal (from the father) descent, which rules in such things, Edward VII, is of the house of his father, Prince Albert, the house of Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, Englished to Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but which adopted the much more English sounding name Windsor during World War I, German descended monarchs on a throne in a war against Germany being too weird. His cousin, who was on the German throne, Kaiser Wilhelm II, thought that was a riot and said he looked forward to seeing Shakespeare's new play The Merry Wives of Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha.
The current English royal family is the House of Windsor. There's still Hanovers though, the current head of that bunch being Ernst August V Prinz von Hannover (I ain't translating, it's not hard to work out) who is also the current, that being the third, husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, so maybe he'll end up with a throne or something. I mean, his titles are not recognised in modern England or Germany, but they are in Monaco! Caroline got an annulment (yeah annulment again, it's a Catholic line) of her first marriage, and her second husband died in an accident, but the Prince on marrying her married a Catholic and so, under the Act of Settlement of 1701 which allows neither Catholics nor spouses of Catholics on the throne, boofed himself out of the line of succession for the British throne, which at 385th in line at the time was a bit of a long shot anyway.
The heir to the English throne, Charles, is through his father of the House of Gluecksburg, short for the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg (Schleswig-Holstein, current name of where we Angles came from!) in turn a branch of the biggest baddest ones of the all the House of Oldenburg, who have been or are on the thrones of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia (yeah the Romanovs), Greece and looks like the British Commonwealth one of these days.
After Charles will come the absolutely delightful William and Catherine, currently the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, dear old Cambridge. Their first child, Prince George, is now third in line.
X. What We Can Learn From This Now.
Notice something? Ain't no reformation going on here, just getting the church to baptise, as it were, matters of state, the church and the state being all part of one thing. From the Assertio of 1521 to the Six Articles of 1539, it's Catholic as all hell, just with a little jurisdictional modification so the king can get an annulment when he needs one.
One of the most enduring enticements of the descendants from the state church of the Roman Empire -- in the West, the RCC and those non-Catholic national churches, generally Anglican or Lutheran, which consider themselves to have taken over Rome's function within their jurisdictions, and in the East the Orthodox churches -- is the apparent solidity of their continuous existence, presumably then with a connexion to the catholic church of the creeds, the Apostles, and Christ himself.
For a person of a faith not solidly grounded in Christ and the Gospel, and often troubled by tumult in their churches, this enticement is so strong as to solve or resolve all doubt. It produces many converts for this reason. For a famous example, the ridiculous John Henry Newman, to the point that his deus-ex-ecclesia, shall we say, solution to his indecision led him to declare that really there are only two real possibilities, atheism or Catholicism, and that those not in either camp are either on their way "home to Rome" or have not thought through the implications of not going to Rome.
While faith in Christ can exist in such an environment, what an unnecessary, distracting and complicating encumbrance to it.
Our foray about into the situation in which Robert Barnes lived and by which was ultimately killed is but one of any number of such situations which show this apparent solidity and continuity is but the most appalling and grotesque of shams, rooted in NOTHING WHATEVER of Christ, his Word or his Sacrament, all of that being a self-justifying veneer over which affairs of state played out. Miserable blasphemous parodies of the catholic church which have survived the passing of the states as then constituted which created them.
We needed Barnes then, and we need him now. Happily we no longer live under the idea that rulers are agents of God with the right to choose the religion of their people. Barnes himself struggled to find his way between the political reality of this idea in his time and spreading the Gospel in reforming Christ's church. In England, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England, with which the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod is in fellowship in the International Lutheran Council, is the heir of Barnes' work in England.
Yet, in this freedom now, Christianity, the church in general, and our beloved synod in particular veer between the same two poles of those times, namely, on the one hand the attractive exterior in which the errors of Rome and the Orthodox are couched, and on the other, the different but no less attractive exterior in which the errors of Calvinism and the Reformed are couched, most recently in American "evangelicalism".
Our beloved synod is greatly beset by this. May the works and example of Robert Barnes help and strengthen us as they did Luther in our Bekenntnis des Glaubens, our confession of faith, holding to the Word rightly preached and the Sacraments rightly administered, and steering our course so as not to crash on the rocks under the influence of either of these siren songs, which unlike those of Greek mythology, are quite real.
From the last words of Robert Barnes, DD, martyr, on 30 July 1540:
Lord if Thou straightly mark our iniquity, who is able to abide Thy judgement? Wherefore I trust in no work that I ever did, but only in the death of Jesus Christ. I do not doubt, but through Him to inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Yellowstone Jolted with Small Earthquake
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — A small earthquake jolted Yellowstone National Park near Old Faithful geyser on Sunday.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 3.6 magnitude temblor occurred just before 10 a.m. with the epicenter located about 6 miles north of Old Faithful, one of the park's main attractions.
Yellowstone National Park officials didn't return a call from The Associated Press on Sunday.
A live video feed provided by the National Park Service showed Old Faithful erupting later in the day in front of several hundred onlookers.

Before leaving, I took the opportunity to berate a couple of the creepy old queers sitting in the parking lot. I told them, in no uncertain terms, that they will have to find a new location to perform fellatio on one another. Their response? "We weren't doing that... here." Then the one got back in his own vehicle, they both left, and I received an approving smile and thumbs up from the P&R employee watering the new greenery on #10. We're gonna take this park back, just you watch!
What about #9b? I think it would be tough for anyone to get within 100' of that pin off the tee.

Silky smooth and not-too-sweet, this easy butterscotch pudding recipe hits all the salty sweet brown sugar notes of your favorite childhood treat.
If given the choice as a child (which happened rarely with my health-nut parents), I always chose chocolate pudding over butterscotch. I'm just that kinda gal, I guess. Or at least I was. It wasn't until I worked at Farallon for a stint under the brilliant Terri Wu that I got bitten by the butterscotch bug.
One night, while I raced to finish my enormous prep list, Terri calmly worked beside me developing a caramelized bread pudding into which she stuffed chunks of roasted pear and Maraska-poached sour cherries and topped with cinnamon streusel. Batch after batch, Terri kept declaring the puddings 'bland'. At the time, I couldn't fathom how they could become any more flavorful, bursting as they were with myriad tastes and textures.
But then into one batch Terri threw a handful of Guittard butterscotch chips. She pulled the puddings from the oven and turned them out of their silicon molds and onto a plate. As we broke apart the large chunks of custard-soaked bread, the aroma of brown sugar and butter wafted irresistibly throughout the pastry kitchen. A bite of this dessert was heaven on a fork, the different components merging together in a symphony of flavors. Seeing my rapturous expression, Terri sighed. 'Put butterscotch in anything and people will love it.'
When I left Farallon, I couldn't find Guittard's butterscotch chips anywhere, and I needed a fix. David Lebovitz's recipe for butterscotch pudding sparked my curiosity. No store-bought butterscotch here, David makes his pudding with butter, dark brown Cassonade sugar, salt, egg, cornstarch and milk. I whipped up a batch using some palm sugar my friend Leigh brought back from Indonesia, but disliked that the coffee notes in the sugar gave the pudding an odd tang. Perhaps because of the acidity of the sugar, the pudding 'broke'; I blended it back together at David L's suggestion, but the chilled puddings retained an uneven texture, with molasses-colored liquid oozing from the solid pudding. I also found the puddings a bit too light in texture for me, being the spoiled-on-french-custards-full-of-cream-and-egg-yolks baker that I am, and while Jay jokes about getting me a salt lick due to my predilection for the stuff, this pudding tasted a bit heavy even for my taste.
I did some more research and found scads of different recipes. Some used only egg yolks as a thickener, some only cornstarch, some used both, and some used eggs, cornstarch and flour together. Some added in crème fraîche or greek yogurt to the finished pudding. Most used a combination of milk and heavy cream, and all called for dark brown sugar melted with butter. I tried a few batches using both whole egg and cornstarch, but I kept ending up with a grainy texture and wondered if this was due to the egg. The cornstarch must be cooked to a boil and beyond, and the egg, which usually shouldn't be heated past 170º when making a smooth custard lest it scramble, must go along for the ride, so I decided to try the cornstarch-only route. I also wondered if whisking the butter in at the end, rather than at the beginning, might lend a smoother texture and help cool down the pudding a bit sooner. (This is also called 'mounting the butter' and that's just hot.) Since I can't get enough of vanilla bean, I decided to use the fresh stuff in place of the extract, and I wanted some salt to bring out the flavors in the pudding, but not too much.
An article from Gourmet that I found via The Kitchn used a mixture of milk and heavy cream, cornstarch as the thickener, and added the butter at the end, but there was some talk in the comments of it not setting properly and becoming 'pudding soup', so I decided to develop my own formula instead. It couldn't be that hard, could it? Five batches later, certain after each that the next little tweak would make it perfect, I realized that I was closing in on the proportions in the Gourmet recipe, so I finally gave it a shot, adding salt and using vanilla bean in place of the extract. Of course, it was perfect: butterscotch heaven. I topped the puddings with unsweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of flaky salt, and called it a day. (Right after I made another batch, you know, just to make sure it was really 'the one.')
This dessert comes together in a matter of minutes (plus some chilling time, if you can stop yourself from licking it all straight from the pot), and uses ingredients commonly found laying about in one's pantry, doing nothing, waiting to become something divine. The rich butter and deep brown sugar convey the classic flavor reminiscent of those little plastic, foil-topped containers of yore (should you have been so lucky). Unlike the real thing, however, these will actually live up to those exalted memories.
Even after nine batches of butterscotch pudding (hey, I had to get it just right – I did it for you!), I'm already looking forward to the next. I guess I'm just that kinda gal.
Pudding it to you:
**2017 update: This recipe has remained such a favorite that I've adapted it several times over the years. It forms the base of Banana Butterscotch Pudding with Mesquite Gingersnaps in my cookbook Alternative Baker: Reinventing Dessert with Gluten-Free Grains and Flours. It also goes into this Gluten-Free Banana Butterscotch Cream Tart with Buckwheat Cocoa Crust, and this fall variation – Butterscotch Pumpkin Pudding with Whipped Mascarpone and Toasted Buckwheat.**

Butterscotch Pudding
Adapted from Gourmet
You can (probably) use half and half in place of the milk and cream if you like. (Update, 1/21/12: half and half works, but has a higher fat content than the milk/cream mixture and results in a firmer, less creamy pudding. Try reducing the cornstarch to 2 tablespoons, and/or omitting the butter.) My favorite sugar for this was organic dark brown sugar; if you only have light brown sugar on hand, you can try whisking in a few drops of molasses to taste along with the butter at the end. Or try experimenting with more exotic sugars, such as panela, palm sugar, muscovado, or Alter Eco's unrefined muscobado sugar. If boozy butterscotch sounds appealing, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of whiskey or dark or gold rum after adding the butter. If you lack vanilla bean (which you can buy in bulk in the Mission, ororder), stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract after adding the butter at the end.
Makes 4 servings
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup (3 3/4 ounces) packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, in several pieces
unsweetened whipped cream
flaky salt, such as Maldon
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, and sugar. Add the milk, cream and vanilla bean and scrapings and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently(you will have to stop whisking to verify that it is boiling; there will be fat bubbles that pop gloopily). While you whisk, make sure to scrape the entire bottom of the pot, including the corners. When you see the gloopy bubbles, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer and continue cooking for 1 minute. The pudding should be the texture of a loose yogurt, or warm caramel sauce. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter.
Fish out the vanilla pod (or strain the pudding into a measuring pitcher if at all lumpy) and divide the pudding into 4 cups. (You can rinse the vanilla pod, let it dry, and stick it in a bottle of booze or a jar of sugar, if you like.)
Pudding skin is an area of some disagreement, with supporters of either side, pro-skin and anti-skin, debating their points heatedly. As for me, I just cover the cups with plastic wrap (not pressed onto the surface of the pudding) and mine haven't formed much of a skin.
Chill the puddings until cold and set, 1 1/2 hours or up to several days. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a few flecks of flaky salt.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Having already inked the top recruiting class in school history for 2015, Lipscomb baseball head coach Jeff Forehand has added LSU transfer southpaw Cody Glenn to the roster.
A Houston, Texas native, Glenn made 25 starts on the hill for the Tigers over the past three seasons in Baton Rouge posting a 3.74 ERA giving up 55 runs in 132.2 innings pitched.
"Cody is a perfect fit for our school & great addition to our baseball program," said Lipscomb head Coach Jeff Forehand. "He will bring valuable on mound experience to our pitching staff after spending three seasons in a great program and playing at the highest level. We are excited for him and his family to be a part of the Lipscomb family."
Already enrolled in summer school at Lipscomb, Glenn was a 15th round selection by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2011 Major League Baseball draft after a standout prep career at Westbury Christian High School in Houston, Texas where he earned all-state honors.
He is the son of Greg and Loa Glenn, who are both Lipscomb University graduates. His father Greg is a former member of the Bison basketball team and has been recently named the new headmaster for Lipscomb Academy.

Expect second baseman Luis Castillo to be placed on the disabled list prior to tonight's game against Florida. In compensating for a bone bruise to his left heel, Castillo has developed problems with his right leg.
This hasn't been played out well at all. Castillo has been bothered by the bone bruise for several weeks now and only aggravates it when he plays. Had he gone on the DL weeks ago, he might be back and ready to play by now.
Ruben Tejada, who impressed the Mets during spring training, has been hitting better at Class AAA Buffalo and would be the likely call-up.
The Mets will also activate Jon Niese from the disabled list (hamstring) and he will start Saturday against the Marlins. Unless the Mets can convince Oliver Perez to take a minor league assignment, the Mets will have to option somebody to the minors. The choices are Elmer Dessens, Jenrry Mejia and Ryota Igarashi, the latter who has not pitched well since coming off the disabled list.
Based solely on recent performance, Igarashi should be the odd man out, but things don't always work that way. Dessens was the last pitcher brought in and manager Jerry Manuel wants to try him as the eighth-inning set-up man.
The Mets have said they would not send Mejia down to stretch him out to become a starter, but that situation might have changed.
The ultimate irony: Perez holds his ground and the Mets option out Mejia. Then weeks later Mejia is brought back as a starter, and to make room for him Perez is cut.

The Breakfast Briefing
One data point shows the markets are becoming slightly less distorted than they have been in recent years.
The spread between the dividend yield on the S&P 500 and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has converged to its lowest level since April, according to Bespoke Investment Group. The S&P 500 yielded 2.18% on Thursday, while the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond was perched at 2.00%.
Historically, Treasury yields have been significantly higher than the S&P 500's yield. That trend reversed in the summer of 2011 during the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and the European debt crisis. Treasury yields have mostly stayed the course ever since, a byproduct of the Fed's massive efforts to keep rates low in order to stimulate the economy.
Lately, however, the rising stock market has lowered the S&P 500's yield, while a recent pickup in borrowing costs have pushed Treasury yields higher. If the trend continues, the Treasury yield could rise above the S&P 500's yield for the first time since last spring.
Investors caution against reading too much into the latest development, although they point out it is a small indication of healthier financial markets. "This is a sign that people are starting to feel a little bit better about the economy," Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Capital Markets, said in a chat with MarketBeat.
The caveat, however, is these markets have a long way to go before they get back to their historical trends. The S&P 500 yield has averaged 3.05% since 1962, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. By comparison, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has averaged 6.62% over the same time frame.
With yields currently so low, Mr. Silverblatt says income-starved investors will continue searching for yield in high-dividend-paying sectors of the market, such as consumer staples or telecom, which still pay significantly more than the 10-year yield.
"The bottom line is we have a long way to go before we get anywhere near these historical yields," Mr. Silverblatt told MarketBeat. "We're not talking this year or even next year."

Last month Lila Tabafunda was sworn in as a new member of the Echo Park neighborhood council after promoting herself as being involved in community service, fighting child abuse and supporting business. But, only a few days earlier, Tabafunda was arrested as she was boarding a Mexico-bound cruise ship and later charged with immigration fraud. Tabafunda was indicted "for allegedly filing more than 100 bogus work visa petitions on behalf of aliens she falsely claimed had been recruited for positions with prominent hospitals and non-profit organizations, " according to the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
The 57-year-old owner of People's Resources International Services of Los Angeles was named in a 10-count federal indictment that charges her with nine counts of visa fraud and one count of perjury. "Two of the charges involve alleged fraud and false statements related to Tabafunda's own naturalization application," according to a department press release.
Ari Bessendorf, President of the Greater Echo Park Elysian Neighborhood Council, said that the Tabafunda named on the indictment is the same person now serving on the neighborhood council. "While these are serious charges, they are still only charges at this point and that she should be afforded the right of due process and the presumption of innocence," he said via email.
The Eastsider attempted to contact Tabafunda, who posted $50,000 bond, at the People's Resources International Services but the phone had been disconnected.
Tabafunda allegedly charged her clients–mostly Philippine nationals who originally entered the United States on tourist visas–anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 to file visa petitions on their behalf. Federal officials claim Tabafunda carried out the fraud over nearly a decade:
Court documents in the case allege that for nearly a decade Tabafunda used the names of shell companies and non-profit organizations in fraudulent employment-based, non-immigrant visa petitions submitted to USCIS and the U.S. Department of Labor. According to the indictment, Tabafunda falsely claimed that her clients were being sought for positions by prominent organizations, including City of Hope, Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Among the jobs listed on the fraudulent employment visa petitions were budget analysts, clinical research specialists and "health educators."
Tabafunda is scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment Nov. 13 in U.S. District Court and faces 95 years in federal prison if convicted on all charges.

George Sheldon (1818-1916), Deerfield, Massachusetts' oldest citizen, rides in a motor car in 1916. Sheldon, founder and former president of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, was 98 years old when this picture was taken. He is riding in the back of an open touring car that was built around 1912, if the distinctively flared fender is any indication. Sheldon came from one of Deerfield's oldest families. His great-great grandfather owned the Old Indian House, the home that sustained attacks during the famous 1704 Deerfield Raid. During the raid, his great-great grandmother Hannah Chapin was taken captive. She was later "redeemed," or purchased back, from the raiders.
Behind them stands the Deerfield Post Office, built in 1912 on the site of the old Grange Hall. The building was remodeled in 1952 to resemble Deerfield's Third Meeting House.

Monday's Community Band Concert will feature Mayor Kelly Boyd conducting the opening number, "God Bless America."
The concert will take place on the Festival of Arts grounds and will feature many well-known patriotic songs. All of us know of Boyd's love of music in hosting so many favorite performing groups at his Marine Room.
"America's Finest" features the songs "Anchors Aweigh" from the U.S. Navy and "Semper Paratus" from the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as songs from the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. The saxophone section will be featured in "Rootbeer Rag" and the concert will end with John Phillip Sousa's classic march, "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
Linda Hughes will sing "Cry Me A River" with the band, and concert master Gary Gould will solo in "Blue Skies." Ed Peterson will be the band's conductor, assisted by Pete Fournier and Bill Nicholls. The band's fifes and drums will play a specialty number, there will be a medley of George M. Cohan's all-American music and the band's premier piece will be Morton Gould's "American Salute."
So get out your American flags, come to the Festival of Arts grounds at 5:30 p.m. on Monday and celebrate the American music we all love.
Long-time performing arts star Lona Ingwerson will be narrating the concert for her 10th year. The band now numbers 65 members, rehearses once a week on Tuesdays in the Laguna Beach High School band room, and has two swing-band subgoups, a flute ensemble and a woodwind quintet.
They've come a long way from their start-up band of eight people in 1999, and play 20 or more concerts a year including performances of the swing bands and flute ensemble.
Admission to the Festival of Arts grounds is free to residents of Laguna Beach. We hope to see you there. For more information, call Carol Reynolds at (949) 497-0986.
Winners of the Community Band scholarships of $1,000 each will also be presented at the concert. They are Dylan DelPizzo-Howell on string bass and Jovan Majano on marimba.
CAROL REYNOLDS is the co-founder of the Community Concert Band.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano answers questions after being voted in as the next President of the University of California following a Board of Regents meeting Thursday, July 18, 2013 in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO - Outgoing U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was confirmed on Thursday as president of the University of California despite an unruly protest by students from the prestigious 10-campus system that led to six arrests.
Several demonstrators were forcibly removed from a meeting room at the University of California at San Francisco before the Board of Regents voted to approve Napolitano as head of the sprawling UC system at a base salary of $570,000 per year.
The students, angry over Napolitano's immigration policies as Homeland Security chief, shouted "undocumented is not a crime!" as they were handcuffed by campus police and led from the room, briefly halting the confirmation hearing.
Some two dozen people yelled "Shame! Shame! Shame!" during a public comment portion of the meeting and two of them tried to rush toward tables where board members sat before being restrained by police officers. Others gathered outside to protest against Napolitano's approval of immigration issues and her lack of experience in education.
University of California spokeswoman Elizabeth Fernandez said six people were arrested during the meeting for unlawful assembly and disturbing the peace.
"I would say to those students, documented or undocumented, we welcome all students to the University of California," Napolitano, 55, told a news conference after the vote. "We're in the business of education and I will be an advocate for that."
Napolitano also said she was taking a 10 percent pay cut from the salary earned by her predecessor, Mark Yudof, because "I've been in public service for over 20 years and you do this job for the passion of the work."
Lightning rod
The former two-term Democratic governor of Arizona becomes the first woman to lead the University of California in its 145-year history.
She assumes oversight of 10 campuses making up what has long been regarded one of the top U.S. public university systems but which has been battered by nearly two decades of boom-and-bust-funding, leading to tuition increases and classroom shortages.
The financial crunch has strained relations with faculty and staff who have been hit with furloughs and hiring freezes.
"We all feel extremely excited about this as she brings fresh eyes to the UC system," Regent Sherry Lansing said before the vote. "She's had a lifetime of public service ... I think education is actually in her DNA."
The lone vote against Napolitano's appointment was cast by student Regent Cinthia Flores.
Napolitano, a former two-term Arizona governor and Democrat, has been a lightning rod in the Obama administration for criticism by conservatives, who have accused her most recently of being soft on border control and immigration issues.
Latino leaders, meanwhile, have sharply criticized Napolitano for immigration sweeps that led to large-scale detention and deportations involving undocumented immigrants.
"Janet Napolitano isn't qualified at all to be UC president, her background is in law and immigration enforcement. It worries me as an undocumented student to have a UC president who has put terror into my family," said demonstrator Rosa Hernandez, a 21-year-old student at the University of California at Berkeley.
Napolitano has acknowledged she was not a typical candidate and said she would meet with faculty, students, politicians and others to learn about the system. She was credited with championing public education during her tenure as governor of Arizona.

[recipe here]
I was really excited to make this cobbler (chosen by Beth of Our Sweet Life), mostly because it seemed pretty easy to do, and I have been pressed for time lately (wedding is now a month away!). Because of the many warnings on the TWD blog about the crust being flavorless, I decided to use turbinado sugar instead of regular sugar and also added a bit of cinnamon.
Side note, I am loving Supreme Spices! Found them via Cupcake Project.
The cobbler came together pretty quickly and easily, not too fussy. I ended up using a 7.5" round casserole instead of the called-for 9" deep dish pie pan, but I used the same amount of fruit, so there was a higher berry-to-crust ratio.
(I'm not really sure what the point was of cutting slits in the top, because mine all fused together, but the hole in the middle was pretty useful.)
In all, I thought the end result was very tasty! I think the berries I used were maybe a bit too sour (I used frozen raspberries and blueberries), so next time I would add in a bit extra sugar in the filling (or serve with ice cream... I just never have it in the apartment!).
A. really liked it as it was, and even had it for breakfast the next morning, though it was starting to get a bit gooey :)
As for the smoking oven last week, apparently I needed to clean out my oven. Learned that the hard way after another bout with the smoke alarm. DUH.
Also... sorry to A.'s coworkers, but the last few TWD's have been of the "eat it the day it's made" variety. Some Apple Cheddar Scones might be coming your way soon!
As always, check out the TWD blogroll for more baking experiences! You can find Dorie's recipe online here, and also in her wonderful book, Baking: from my home to yours.

Mother Nature Delivers Another Slap to Western South Dakota Cattlemen
Yes, I'm in where it's warm. But as I type this I know many South Dakota folks are not! I can't help but think about our South Dakota Cattlemen, especially those in western South Dakota right now. It's kind of like here we go again.
The good news is it doesn't sound like we're going to have the incredible amounts of snow that we did have last October but with many ranchers smack dab in the middle of calving season you can't help but feel for them. As of 3:00 p.m. Monday afternoon, Sioux Falls was still at 63 degrees. Huron was at 24 degrees. Rapid City 25 with NW winds gusting to 47. Add to those incredible temperature drops the fierce winds and boom. You have the magic potion for another long 24 to 48 hour period for farmers and ranchers.
We hope that the storm passes quickly and the weather warms up a bit soon. As easy as it is to moan and groan about the weather for us people living in town, you can't help but feel for the folks working out in the weather again Monday. And Monday night. And Tuesday morning.

By Anne Tergesen
Economists and policymakers in recent years have begun encouraging pension-deprived Baby Boomers to consider relatively new products known as longevity insurance or "deferred income" annuities, designed to restore some financial security to what are supposed to be their golden years. News today from New York Life Insurance Co. confirms that the products are starting to catch on.
Like an immediate annuity, deferred-income annuity policies allow purchasers to convert a lump sum into a pension-like stream of income for life. But while an immediate annuity starts issuing payments almost instantaneously, the deferred variety requires policyholders to pick an income start date in the future—at which point payments will be bigger than what you would get with an immediate annuity.
Currently, a 65-year-old man paying $100,000 for an immediate fixed annuity can get a little under $7,000 a year for life. But with a $100,000 longevity policy that starts issuing payments at age 85, his annual payout could top $60,000.
Proof of the product's growing appeal comes from New York Life, which will announce today that its Guaranteed Future Income Annuity has surpassed $1 billion in sales, up from $50 million in 2010. The product now accounts for 30% of overall income-annuity sales at New York Life, which is the nation's biggest seller of plain-vanilla income annuities.
Some policymakers have encouraged consumers to purchase versions of these policies that will lock in an income starting around age 80 or 85. But many buyers are instead turning to them as pension replacements—starting payments earlier for a steady source of income throughout retirement. New York Life says the average buyer of its main deferred annuity is a 58-year-old seeking payments from age 67 on. (Starting payments earlier means a lower payout, though it would still be notably higher than that of an immediate annuity.)
"They want a pension," says Matt Grove, vice president in charge of the company's annuity products. "They want to build a guaranteed income stream that will help them to enjoy retirement," rather than protect against depleting assets in old age.
In 2012, New York Life accounted for about 86% of all deferred-income annuity sales, according to Grove. But a rising number of insurers, including MassMutual and Northwestern Mutual, have launched similar products in recent months. So far in 2013, American General Life Companies and the Guardian Insurance & Annuity Co. have joined the fray–with more companies working on products of their own, according to Grove.
Currently, deferred income annuity sales represent less than 1% of the industry's total annuity sales, according to LIMRA, a research organization that specializes in insurance products. But the products have experienced significant growth in 2012, says Joe Montminy, assistant vice president and director of annuity research at LIMRA, who adds that companies are "targeting younger boomers."
Of course, the policies aren't without their downsides. As with most fixed annuities, you surrender your principal to the insurer. That means that if you die before payouts begin, the insurer keeps your money.
Moreover, if returns are near historic norms, people willing to invest in a diversified basket of stocks and bonds rather than an annuity have a good chance of doing better on their own over time. And if inflation heats up, the purchasing power of the annuity payments will be reduced.
There are ways to mitigate some of these problems. If you're willing to settle for a lower income, for example, you can ensure that your heirs will receive a lump sum or series of payments. Some insurers allow policyholders to raise their annual payments by 1% to 6% a year or more, to try to keep pace with inflation.
In part because payouts on annuities are near multiyear lows, advisers say it can make sense for those buying longevity insurance to borrow the "laddering" technique that many investors use with bonds and certificates of deposit. The goal is to spread purchases over a number of years—that way, if interest rates rise, so will the payments received.
Politicians and economists have proposed using the "longevity insurance" form of this product to help prevent workers from running out of money during retirement. A year ago, the Treasury Department issued a proposal that would make it easier for people to buy them in their 401(k) and individual retirement accounts, but that option isn't available yet.
