At High Mark Plumbing, we like to stay up-to-date on plumbing and plumbing technology. That process includes knowing what is new in hot water heaters in Calgary. Heat pumps connect to and used for the power source for hot water heaters is one of the pieces of recent technology.
According to the U.S. Energy Department's description of heat pumps and water heaters heat pumps (which need a fuel source, such as electricity) can heat water by pulling heat from the air around the water heater or from the earth and directing it into the water heater. This can be a stand-alone process, or your heat pump can also work with your air conditioning by pulling heat out of the inside air in your home and using it to heat water during the summer, or by pulling heat from the outside air or from the earth (geothermal). Such systems can also be integrated with radiant heating systems to help heat the home during the winter. They will not work for all homes – there must be a specified amount of space around the water heater and heat pump for it to pull heat from the air, and there are also some engineering constrains that go with geothermal. Some large size water heaters are required to have a heat pump as part of their system.
Call High Mark Plumbing at (403)407-5750 to discuss the many options available to you and your hot water heaters in Calgary. This is an exciting time to explore innovations in plumbing and to save energy and money. We can install and service water heaters with tanks, tankless water heaters, and water heaters that use heat pumps. This is one of the good ways to live in interesting times.

North Korea arrested an American college student this month, state media reports said Friday.
CNN reported that the arrest has been confirmed by the China-based company with which Otto Frederick Warmbier, the U.S. student, was traveling. The tour company, Young Pioneer Tours, said that Warmbier was arrested in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on January 2.
Recent Stories in National Security
According to North Korean state media reports, Warmbier was detained after allegedly carrying out a "a hostile act against the DPRK," or the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. State media said that Warmbier came into North Korea "for the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single-minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government."
Warmbier reportedly entered the country using a tourist visa.
The student's family has been notified of the arrest and is working with the State Department, the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Swedish Embassy to address the situation, the tour company said in a statement on its website.
The Swedish Embassy provides limited consular services to Americans traveling in North Korea who become sick, injured, or are arrested, as the U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with North Korea.
The Cavalier Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Virginia, reported that Warmbier is a third-year commerce student there and is enrolled in the Echols scholars program. A spokesman for UVA said that the university "has been in touch with Otto Warmbier's family and will have no additional comment at this time."

I have some dirt and gravel roads as part of my bike commute path, so the fat tires seemed like a good idea. And they are, in that they handle the non-paved sections wonderfully.
But I'll certainly admit that I didn't do enough research before purchasing. It's a good bike, and if I were shoving it in the Leaf it'd work out perfectly, but as-is, it's just not the best match.

DURHAM — Angela Davis did not need to convince the audience in UNH's Johnson Theatre Thursday night that President Barack Obama's election was a historic occasion and significant move forward in America.
But she reminded them of the reality still facing the country in the wake of his inauguration: "Racism has not ended because one black family is in the White House."
A spokesperson for civil rights, Davis has dedicated her life to activism as a past member of the Communist Party USA and the Black Panther Party and, more recently, examining the state of the country's prison system.
And Thursday night, a full house was captivated by her views on the prison system and its correlation to socioeconomic status, education and income, which framed her presentation as the keynote speaker in UNH's 2009 Commemorative Address in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Frequent applause and sounds of praise and agreement from the crowd dotted her speech as she laid out the realities she sees in the "vicious cycle" created by the way the country's prison system is run.
"The link between education and incarceration is important to grasp," Davis said, explaining that as more funds are channeled into prisons, less funds are available for education.
She referred to prisons as a "gendering apparatus" and stressed the need to reform the U.S. prison system — she calls it the prison-industrial complex — to truly address the race, gender and socioeconomic factors that she believes lead to a greater number of black people incarcerated than white people.
While first jokingly pointing out the lack of diversity in New Hampshire, Davis seemed to stagger the audience a bit when she noted that 289 out of every 100,000 white men is arrested in contrast to more than 2,000 out of every 100,000 black men.
Davis has studied and been published on the topic of incarceration and criminalization of communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She referenced Dr. Martin Luther King many times in her speech, indicating that King motivated people to "strive for a better future" and that in this time of change "we are given the opportunity to look at a whole range of issues" and "now is the time to think about different forms of justice."
In the speech that student Rob Wilson later described as "refreshing," her words of motivation and action moved the large crowd of students and faculty. But she told them it was important to remember where the drive for change came from.
Naming activists like Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman and Dr. King "that shaped America," Davis said, "The America that descended from those people is the America that may finally be able to provide the leadership we need during these challenging times. Movements allow us to realize what we couldn't possibly have realized before."
Illustrating Davis' point about the faults within the prison system was a photo montage of individuals who served many years in prison but were wrongly accused. It ended with photos of those "still waiting" to be released from what is believed to be a wrongful incarceration.
"It's a new day," she said, using the catch phrase Obama's election into office brought to the lips of many Americans. "It's a new day but everything hasn't changed. It has to be about a newly imagined future. Let us think about how to weave these issues into our agenda for change."
Angela Davis targets link between racism, prison

Showman, Composer, Artist-Provocateur. Often found loitering in High Society weddings, Shanghai award ceremonies, exclusive gatherings & street festivals in Brazil. Fred Snow has earned his place in the glinting spires of Britain's independent music scene - that ethereal castle in the mythic Bohemian otherworld.
Born in 1976 and named after the great Freddy Mercury, which he continues to honour. His journey started in the USA, where he absorbed both the Squirrel Nut Zippers & The Violent Femmes during the mid '90s. Adding to Weill, Guthrie, Waits, Dietrich, Bowie, Brel, Neil Young, Agnes Bernelle, 3 Mustaphas 3, Kid Creole, Queen, The Velvet Underground - all are claimed as fonts of scant reverence. Solo performances to re-inventing the Old Style with The Top Shelf Band & Le Bistrotet, or the Avant-Garde of The Bootleg Trio & New Bohemian Orchestra, writing, recording & appearing live is just the half of it. Fred Snow has gone on to deliver original material for soundtracks on TV, adverts & even appearing in an oscar winning movie performing his own music. Starting his Record Label & Music Publishing arm brought additional challenges and responsibilities, becoming an advocate within London's independent scene through his membership of AIM, PRS & MPA.

Unearthing Common Myths About Starting a Business
There are some common myths that the small business owner faces when they are about to launch their startup. A lot of the things that one hears about starting a company will not be accurate-they're merely misconceptions or urban legends which have frequently been repeated that a lot of people now believe to be true.
Many people believe that there are investors lining up to loan money to their startups. While venture capitalists may exist, financing startup companies is not their primary area of focus. Their intention of investing in a company would be to make money by investing in such companies, but since most startups do not do so well in their first years, they hesitate to do so. One of the rules that investors use is that the company they would like to invest in should possess an excellent three-year track record in place. It is very hard for startups to meet this criterion. Nevertheless, all isn't lost for the small business owner. There are other alternatives that they can pursue to raise the much-needed capital. You can get financing from the small business administration under the class 7 (A) programs and 504 programs. If you are not a huge fan of loans, you can bootstrap your business from your personal finances. There are many entrepreneurs who have turned to bootstrapping, and it has turned out to be a great success in their opinion.
Many people believe that starting a business allows them the freedom to choose their working hours. Entrepreneurs are known to be one of the hardest working individuals on the planet. You give up any freedom you have when you open your enterprise, unless you have heaps of money saved up that you don't need your organization to achieve success. You may have some flexibility in allotting your free time but starting a company will definitely consume much of your free time.
Others believe that when they establish the right business that it sells itself and they do not need a marketing or business plan to thrive. You can't replace a business plan and having a well-planned marketing plan to market your merchandise. Business plans are critical in getting investors and ensuring that you understand what it will take for you to be successful and that you have an outline of how to achieve your goals.
Now, with the tips listed above, you have some of the information that you need as you consider a business startup. You could get loans in the SBA or even get some investors to back up you but recall that with cash, you should always have your facts clear. Before you invest any money in any business, ensure that you have done thorough research on all that goes into establishing a startup.

The long-term success of any progressive movement such as sustainability depends not only on its sheer political power, but also on its ability to continuously modernize its language, re-energize its narrative and sense of mission. Without a capacity for self-renewal, the most ardent convictions inevitably flame out, creating an energy vacuum that pulls the movement toward a premature and whimpering descent from Grace. Although sustainability is still passing through its uneasy infancy, the movement is already conforming to this grim prognosis, mainly because the loosely coordinated factions within the movement continue to misjudge and mishandle their toughest existential challenges.
The most glaring misjudgment manifests itself in sustainability's lapse into an acronym-rich bureaucracy that rehashes derivative insights disconnected from changes in the marketplace. Sustainability burst into existence as an impassioned voice of protest energized by a heightened awareness of looming risks, a sober acknowledgement of the destructive potential of Western civilization's organizing principles. After its ambitious beginnings, the movement is running out of steam, and it is starting to resemble and reenact the change-resistant institutional dysfunctions it presumably still hopes to alleviate. Against the backdrop of obsolete ideas enshrined by sclerotic institutions, sustainability is adopting the bureaucratic ritualism of the very institutions it seeks to displace or rescue from irrelevance. The voice of protest is blending with the cacophony of prejudice and deceit.
As ideology co-opts and metabolizes genuine protest, it propels sustainability toward a miscarriage of its potential, if not the deliberate abortion of its noblest aspirations. We are witnessing the exhaustion of the progressive imagination, an uneasy capitulation to the cynicism that sustains the unsustainable status quo. This surrender reflects the state of sustainability more faithfully and poignantly than the naive narratives and diversionary headlines celebrating the growth in the number of signatories to the UN-backed Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI). Yet, the illusion of progress continues to vindicate our willful ignorance. So, we remain blind to the large-scale, recidivist and remorseless betrayals of public trust and common good.
Granted, sustainability still offers a clear and healthier ideological alternative, but the movement often weakens its own brand and defeats and denigrates its own destiny. Just as the discredited ideological orthodoxies that preceded it (e.g., the belief in the infinite redemptive power of free markets), sustainability has evolved into a new genre of dogmatic self-delusion. Primal expressions of outrage have yielded the spotlight to polite "message platforms". Sycophancy has replaced subversion as the dominant strategy in our dialog with illegitimate institutions.
The power elites it purports to challenge have learned to tolerate sustainability because they realize that it does not challenge them all that much. In fact, in subtle and generally unacknowledged ways, it serves their interests. It functions as an off-balance-sheet subsidiary of obsolete organizing principles. In brief, the commodification of the sustainability movement has produced an emasculated opposition to our culture's most self-destructive fixations. As all token oppositions, today's co-opted sustainability mostly provides a finely orchestrated pretext for lip service and appeasement. Thus, in contrast to the loftier intentions of its youth, today's sustainability haunts us as a castrated spirit, a hungry ghost seeking nourishment in dead ideas.
Sustainability's alignment with its own Dark Side (think of the Jungian Shadow) has already produced symptoms that accentuate the need for a new wave of irreverent and unapologetic disruptions. Without these disruptions, the status quo will continue to enable, even facilitate, individual and institutional behaviors that elevate systemic risk.
Next, I will focus more specifically on facts and larger truths often scrubbed from the public discourse on sustainability.
Revolutions come and go. They start; they create a new stasis; then, they falter in their own ways. Often, they create new falsehoods, new perversions that betray ideals as mercilessly as did preceding ideologies. That's why, the success of the sustainability revolution — and any particular revolution — doesn't matter nearly as much as the sustenance of the revolutionary spirit.
In the sustainability movement today, this spirit is gasping for air. The passing generation of sustainability pioneers succeeded in many ways, but it failed to inspire a new generation of sincere mavericks who would nurture the torch of Olympian fire. Because of this failure, I characterize today's sustainability movement as a stillborn idea, a noble and imperious impulse seduced into complacency and compromise.
The advocacy of sustainability that still grabs headlines today is an effete narrative, an exhausted Will with a low sperm count and crippling arthritic pain. Frail and disenchanted, sustainability has become a majority-owned subsidiary of consumer capitalism, an unwitting victim of a rigged deal with Mephistopheles. In this humbled state, sustainability functions as an intricately engineered mechanism for easing our anxieties by urging us to seek solace in our creature comforts.
True, some die-hard advocates of real change occasionally attempt to reverse sustainability's degradation into self-inflicted irrelevance. But these desperate measures suffer from tactical and strategic miscalculation, the fool's errand of fighting and re-fighting past battles long after the battlefield has undergone dramatic changes, and long after institutional inertia has thoroughly co-opted the language of protest and reform.
The study of undetected risk constitutes a fundamentally reductionist enterprise. It necessarily reduces the object of its inquiry (e.g., risk, uncertainty, etc.) in roughly the same sense that a cartographer reduces a territory to a map. No representation can fully capture the reality it represents. No scientific or theoretical breakthrough can provide the final answer, the unshakable truth that requires no further modification or elucidation.
Every discovery of new wrinkles of risk opens up the next vista, the next wilderness not yet tamed by language, ideology or wishful thought. All revolutions merely punctuate a process, a ceaseless search for improvements in the human condition. Yet, we continue to maintain the illusion that the sustainability revolution constitutes an event, a fait accompli that the society should simply metabolize and move on. This view now figures as the most glaring symptom of the exhaustion of the progressive imagination.
The weakened will of the sustainability movement has greatly slowed the study of extra-financial risk. Having produced abundant food for constructive thought since its inception, sustainability has entered the regurgitative phase of its development. Today, efforts to improve systemic sustainability rely largely on pre-formulated constructs that identify and characterize domains of human activity in which the erosion of institutional integrity can elevate systemic risk. Instead of developing these constructs further, we are now turning them into bumper stickers and checklists.
The reduction of sustainability to a checklist arguably started with the formal postulation of the three grand pillars of the discipline: environmental, social and governance risk, also known as ESG. Under each of these master-categories of extra-financial risk, researchers have developed formal taxonomies of quantitative or binary risk metrics. The taxonomies are essentially lists of sins, of which a particular company may be guilty or innocent (e.g., dual-class shares, combined CEO/Chair positions, "overboarded" directors, and executive compensation disconnected from measures of corporate performance, to name just a few examples.)
No doubt, these metrics provide valuable insights into corporate character. The weakness of these taxonomies lies not in what they cover but in the broad domains material risk they overlook. For example, most ESG models do not incorporate the risk of misleading or fraudulent corporate accounting. Even as the SEC has received credit for its recently renewed focus on accounting fraud, we seldom pause to ask whether even the most meticulous compliance with current laws and rules would give investors a full and fair assessment of the value of underlying assets.
In fact, it's an open secret in the accounting profession and among corporate CFOs that compliance with current GAAP and FASB rules would still produce a materially distorted estimate of asset values. In this way, we are reducing accounting risk about as much as the table manners of passengers on the Titanic reduced the risk of drowning.
Also, consider an example from the governance area. Corporate practices such as combined CEO/Chair positions and dual-class shares often dominate public discourse. But governance experts have long pointed out that the token separation of CEO/Chair positions would only produce a negligible impact on corporate governance under the current regime, which still provides perfectly legal mechanisms for the disenfranchisement of minority shareholders.
Many other risks with indisputably broad systemic repercussions remain conspicuously absent from the narrative of the sustainability movement, even as it habitually congratulates itself for its more holistic and healthy approach to shared risks and desired rewards. For example, ESG models tell us nothing about risks stemming from the "technological singularity". This concept has become most closely associated with the work of Ray Kurzweil. It refers to the inevitable moment of truth at which the rising wave of steepening growth rates across our technology-fueled societies will bring the human civilization to an "event horizon" that renders our best forecasting methods utterly impotent.
Sincere participants in the sustainability movement should acknowledge that the social injustices that sparked the meme of sustainability have mostly deepened, and they continue to deepen. Likewise, the sustainability movement needs to deepen and reinforce its convictions. It needs to raise its voice and sharpen its political acumen. Otherwise, sustainability will become another poignant addition to the long list of noble ideas co-opted by their detractors and betrayed by their creators.

Pickerington, OH—RG Barry Corp. today announced that its board of directors formed a committee of independent directors to review a $228.4 million offer by a private investment company to take the accessories company private.
Mill Road Capital, which already owns an 8.57% stake in RG Barry, reportedly made the offer believing that RG Barry would be better able "to realize its full potential as a private entity."
Mill Road argued that the company, which plans to continue growing through acquisitions, has been slow to deliver results to investors and that remaining publicly traded would result in regulatory costs and other expenses disproportionate to the size of the business.
The committee has retained Peter J. Solomon Company, L.P. to assist it in evaluating the proposal. While RG Barry said it wouldn't be commenting on or providing further updates on the status of the Mill Road proposal, the committee "intends to evaluate the proposal in a timely matter."
RG Barry brands include Dearfoams slippers, baggallini handbags, totes and travel accessories, and Foot Petals insoles and comfort products. www.rgbarry.com

Hart, as she writes of herself in these poems, is someone with a keen sense of how fragile the unity of ourselves is. But rather than writing a poetry that merely confesses the wounding of falling apart, she draws on that experience in order to perceive with special acuity something that is true not just about her but about all of us and about the world. If all things in nature are borrowings of disparate elements drawn together in often delicate unities, where the whole may be greater than the sum of its parts, but the parts remain visible nonetheless, then Hart, as someone with a sense of how things fall apart, is especially positioned to celebrate their uncanny coming together in the first place.

Fresh Thymes Eatery in Boulder is gluten-free good
Annie and I spent last Saturday racing around Boulder, dealing with kid logistics and errands (i.e., ping-ponging between strip malls and spending money in ways that do not satisfy) before heading up Boulder Canyon to Shoshoni Yoga Ashram for two days of namaste and kicking-back in a cabin. The last task before we could say goodbye to Boulder – lunch. Something fast, and take-out. We ran through the usual suspects and then remembered Fresh Thymes Eatery, a relatively new spot that caters to the gluten-free and paleo-diet crowd. We hadn't been.
I'm in the middle of a gluten-free experiment for the newspaper (I'm avoiding the stuff for a month), and as a result have largely shunned bread. Now, however, I craved a sandwich, and I knew Fresh Thymes trumpeted the quality of its gluten-free baguettes, which they use for sandwiches.
So we checked-out the pleasing, neat-as-a-pin space, with its rustic barn-board walls and warm light. Fresh Thymes offered a concise menu, with a handful of meat dishes (all of it grass-fed, humanely raised, yada yada), some smart salads, a bunch of gluten-free dessert, and more (big selection of gluten-free beer, for example).
Hunger so consumed Annie and me that talking irritated; we wanted food, immediately.
We got a plate of creamed kale and mushroom dip, with grilled baguette slices, and we split a roasted-vegetable sandwich on that much-touted French bread. We took the bag of stuff – not even a mote of the dreaded gluten in our vicinity – to the minivan and commenced Hoovering.
I anticipated regret and disappointment and an I-give-up swing through the angst-incubator known as the Whole Foods parking lot, as well as a stroll along the grouch-nursery called the Whole Foods aisles. But instead Annie and I put our heads down and fed, grunting now and again and managing a few exclamations between chews.
"Who knew?"
"We are coming back."
Flavor packed the dip and the sandwich fillings, but the surprise was the bread. That French bread, made by the team at Kim and Jakes Cakes in Boulder, bore no resemblance to the gluten-free breads I had tried before, which in my experience are best summed-up as cardboard.
This was an excellent loaf – chewy, crunchy, airy. It wasn't the best baguette I'd ever tasted, not even close. But it did not disappoint, either.

What you will learn:
- You will learn how to act on top of the rail
- How to hit it for optimal balance
For more videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Ho5YvHCtyReazatbhBowAWhen you are sliding a kinked rail there you must be more active on the rail than on a more simple down rail. Let your front leg be a bit relaxed so the kink can push it up a bit or you pull it up a bit. You also will have to stand forward leaning on the first part then straight on the middle part then forward leaning on the last part of the rail. As you slide from the flat part of the rail to the last down part make sure to lean forward so you get some pressure on the front foot. This for good balance and also so later on you can learn to lock and spin of the rail with style. See how the body actually is perpendicular to the rail on not just the last down part but on all parts of the rail. When you approach the rail. I like to ride straight towards it so I can see that I am aligned with the rail completely. Then do a easy turn out to the side of the perfect alignment to the rail so you ride pretty much parallel to the rail. Here you can see my old track in the snow and isn't pretty parallel to the rail? Pop onto the rail using a gentle side ways pop on to the rail. Start looking at the end of the rail as you pop up in to the air. This will help you maintain good balance just as a slackliner looks at the end of the line to keep the balance. See here again how parallel the line is that is taken as I am approaching the transition of the rail. Land with the skis on a slight angle towards the rail to stop the small movement that otherwise would make you tip over to the left. Experiment with different angles depending on your angle towards the rail.
To twist the skis onto the rail I mainly like doing it using some counter rotation. This because it gives me good balance and control on the rail thanks to having one arm on each side of the rail like this.
For more:
We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and will learn to hit the kinked rails in your park or city,
Stomp it,
Jens and the Stomp It crew

Every Tuesday we get together to pray and study God's Word.
We begin with prayer at 7:00 pm. A group of dedicated people lift up to the Lord the ministries and concerns of the congregation and community. If you have a concern you would like prayed for, or if you would like to be present to be prayed for, you can email Grant.
Then, at 8:00 pm, we have our Bible Study. This is a time of informal, relational study together. We have a lot of laughs and lot of serious discussion as we seek to understand and apply God's Word to our lives.
Would you like to meet some new friends and practice your spoken English Skills? We are starting up a new Conversational English Class that is meant to be a friendly, casual time of talking. If you are interested in attending a class please call 416-767-8911 or email [email protected]

Atheist Manual
1. Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung: "I do not believe, I know."
2. De facto theist. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. "I don't know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
3. Leaning towards theism. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
4. Completely impartial. Exactly 50 per cent. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
5. Leaning towards Agnosticism. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
6. De facto atheist. Very low probability, but short of zero. "I don't know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
7. Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung knows there is one."
A. Fallacys in religion
1. Appeal to Tradition:
Also known as Appeal to antiquity - (Argumentum ad antiquitatem, or appeal to common practice, appeal to tradition is a common fallacy in which a thesis is deemed correct on the basis that it correlates with some past or present tradition. example: The appeal takes the form of "this is right because we've always done it this way."
An appeal to tradition essentially makes two assumptions that are not necessarily true:
- The old way of thinking was proven correct when introduced, i.e. since the old way of thinking was prevalent, it was necessarily correct. In actuality this may be false—the tradition might be entirely based on incorrect grounds.
- The past justifications for the tradition are still valid at present, when In actuality, the circumstances may have changed.
Appeal to novelty: (opposite of an appeal to tradition) example: claiming something is good because it is new.
2. Fallacy of accident - (Cum hoc ergo propter hoc): ("with this, therefore because of this"), or, in a slight variation, post hoc ergo propter hoc ("after this, therefore because of this"). Both these names describe the mistake. This is the fallacy of assuming that A caused B simply because A happened along with B, or prior to B.
3. Appeal to logic - (Argumentum ad logicam): - Refuting a caricatured or extreme version of somebody's argument, rather than the actual argument they've made. example: Creationists are fond of saying that scientists think that complex life "just happened" or "fell together at random." That's a straw man argument.
4. Begging the question - (Petitio principii): - see circle reasoning
5. Fallacy of false cause - (Non sequitur): a conclusion based on insufficient or erroneous reason: example: "Statistics show juvenile delinquency is rising. Therefore, we need to post the Ten Commandments in public schools."
6. Special pleading: example: - "God moves in mysterious ways." "The lord reveals knowledge to the ignorant that he hides from the wise." or
"Everything that exists had a cause. The universe exists and therefore the universe had a cause. A thing cannot create itself and therefore something must have created the universe. That thing is God."
Then you ask, "Well then, what created God?"
And predictably, the response comes back: "God is eternal. He always existed. Nothing created him."
This is an example of special pleading: The believer is arguing that God is magically exempt from the previously stated axiom that everything that exists has a cause. If you want to be clever about it you can say, "Well, according to your own statement, it would seem that God doesn't exist. You just said everything that exists has a cause and you also said that God doesn't have one. So I guess he's out of luck then, huh?"
The fact is that the universe, though it had a beginning, is also eternal. It BOTH has always existed and began to exist about 13.8 billion years ago. The reason for this is that time itself is a property of the universe and began to exist at the moment of the Big Bang.
A more serious response, based on the fallacy, might be: "If God exists, according to what you said, God had a cause, too. If you are arguing that God is 'special' and doesn't NEED a cause, my question to you is, why don't we cut out the middle man and say the universe itself is 'special' and doesn't need a cause? Occam's Razor, also known as the rule of parsimony, dictates that, unless we have reasonable evidence suggesting otherwise, the simpler explanation is more likely to be right. In this case, if we're allowing the excuse that a thing can be exempt from the rule that everything that exists must have a cause, and it's simpler not to include an extra step in our timeline, then we're comfortably back where we started but without introducing an unnecessary element."
7. Excluded middle/false dichotomy fallacy: - Fallacy, which reduces complex situations to only two possibilities --example: "Love it or leave it;" "you're either part of the solution or part of the problem;" "who is not with me is against me" -- this last from Jesus himself, showing just how deeply it's engrained in Christian thinking.
Christians love dichotomy; it's rooted deep in their faith. Good-bad, Christ-Satan, heaven-hell.
8. Appeal to avoid the ''slippery slope'': - A variant is (Reductio ad absurdum), where one carries the opponent's position to its logical end, without mentioning that this is not the inevitable result of the opponent's viewpoint. example: "Atheists have no source for their morality; therefore, they have nothing to stop them from committing rape and murder." This ignores the fact that most atheists think long and hard about right and wrong and do have sources for their morality: Reason and an inherent sense of justice that lets them reject even the Judeo-Christian god when he tells his followers to rape and murder.
Irrelevant conclusion fallacys: - Where instead of proving the facts in question, the arguer seeks to divert attention to some extraneous fact.
9. Argument from personal considerations - (Argumentum ad hominem): - Attacking the character or motives of a person who has stated an idea, rather than the idea itself. For a flood of examples, read any Christian literature on Madalyn Murray-O'Hair, John Dewey, or anyone else they don't like. They may have been genuinely ugly people. But that doesn't make their ideas or their causes wrong. Any more than the Inquisition's excesses invalidate all of Christianity.
10. Appeal to majority / Appeal to popular sentiment - (Argumentum ad populum): Is construed narrowly to designate an appeal to the opinions of people in the immediate vicinity, perhaps in hope of getting others to jump on the bandwagon.
Appeal to majority / Appeal to numbers - (Argumentum ad numeram): This amounts to attempting to prove something by showing how many people think that it's true. "According to a recent Gallup poll, 68 percent of Americans favor teaching creationism in public schools." Well, maybe 68% of Americans are stump-ignorant about science, education, and the Constitution. Used to designate appeals based purely on the number of people who hold a particular belief.
11. Appeal to ignorance - Argumentum ad ignorantium: - Example: " whatever has not been proved false must be true, and vice versa. Another creationist favorite.
12. Argument to fear / Argument from adverse consequences - (Argumentum ad baculum): - and the related Argument from adverse consequences: - "The court must impose the death penalty in this sensational case as a deterrent." For many people, this is the whole crux of the Christian faith: "Do what God tells me to tell you to do, or else you'll roast in Hell for all eternity." Except for the Calvinists, who say "Do whatever you damn well please, you're probably going to roast in Hell for all eternity anyhow and there's nothing you can do about it."
13. Naturalistic fallacy: - This is the fallacy of trying to derive conclusions about what is right or good (that is, about values) from statements of fact alone. No matter how many statements of fact you assemble, any logical inference from them will be another statement of fact, not a statement of value. If you wish to reach conclusions about values, then you must include among your assumptions (or axioms, or premises) a statement of value. Once you have an axiomatic statement of value, then you may use it in conjunction with statements of fact to reach value-laden conclusions.
Christians of a certain sort have a natural tendency to mistake their morality for the only morality, and their values for the facts of the universe.
14. Fallacy of many questions - (Plurium Interrogationum): - Several questions improperly grouped in the form of one, for which a direct categorical answer is demanded. Similar to fallacy of complex question, a favorite of a former girlfriend of mine, which implicitly assumes something to be true by its construction ("Why do you hate me?"), or the classic, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
15. Observational selection: - counting the hits and forgetting the misses. A favorite of "Biblical prophecy" fans.
16. statistics of small numbers: - Carl Sagan summed it up something like this: "They say that one in five people in the world today is Chinese, well, I live in Indiana and I must know thousands of people and not one of them is Chinese."
17. Argument from conventional propriety - (Argumentum ad verecundiam): Closely related to "Argument from authority:" citing some person who agrees with you, even though that person may have no expertise in the given area -- Einstein on politics, for instance. This is also similar to Argumentum ad antiquitatem -- "Every great civilization in history has provided state subsidies for art and culture." But that fact does not justify continuing the policy.
18. Argument to the point of disgust (Argumentum ad nauseam): especially by repitition. Example: Trying to prove something by saying it again and again.
19. Fallacy of the consequent: - Arguing from a consequent to its condition: "drug addicts live in slums; therefore people who live in slums are drug addicts."
20. Secundum Quid: - Arguing erroneously from a general rule to a particular case without regarding special circumstances which vitiate the general rule; or the converse fallacy of arguing from a special case to a general rule.
21. Spoken simply: - The "sweeping generalization: dicto simpliciter, that is presumed to be true of every specific case -- in other words, stereotyping. Example: "Women are on average not as strong as men and less able to carry a gun. Therefore women can't pull their weight in a military unit."
22. Appeal On emotion: (Beroepen op de emoties van mensen)
23. Hearsay: Van horen zeggen Example ''He said it'' ''He said to me that Lucas told this and that''
24. Circle reasoning - (Circulus in probando, or circulus in demonstrando): - Arguing in a circle (circular arguments) demonstrating a conclusion by means of premises which presuppose that conclusion.
- Its true because its says in the bible.
- Its true or It is written in the bible (which inspired by God) therefore its true.
- "God is real." How do you know? - "Because the Bible says so."
- How do you know the Bible is correct? - "Because it was inspired by God."
Source: http://www.etymonline.com/columns/fallacy.htm
25. Bare assertions. - (ipse dixit): - These are probably the most common tools used by believers when discussing belief. It's not a formal fallacy in that it's not an error in reasoning, but rather a failure to argue properly by not citing sources or providing evidence.
Often, you will hear believers say that they do not "need" evidence or that evidence/empiricism and faith are different "realms" or different "magisteria."
In Latin, a bare assertion is called an "ipse dixit," which just means "he [himself] said it."
Here's what it looks like in action:
Believer: Jesus died for your sins. If you open your heart to him and repent, you can be saved.
Atheist: I don't believe that. Why should I? Why do you?
B: Deep down you know it's true. It's written in your heart. You cannot deny the glory of God; all are without excuse.
A: You didn't even address my question. I'm not asking what you believe. I'm asking why you believe it.
B: Because it's the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants you to reach out to him.
etc, etc.
Notice that the believer is not giving any evidence for why he believes what he believes. Quoting the Bible, although a piss-poor way to convince someone who does not already believe the Bible is an authority on such matters, would be one way to resolve this. That moves the discussion from bare assertion to evidence-based/empirical reasoning. Just saying "You know in your heart" or "It is written in your heart" is simply a bare assertion unless the person quotes the accompanying Bible verses where these come from.
Similarly, saying "Jesus died for your sins" is a bare assertion. This can be resolved by the believer simply by changing it to "Jesus said that he died for your sins" or "The Bible says that..." etc. Again this moves the statement from a bare assertion into the territory of evidence, which can then be questioned and its validity or relevance examined.
Respond to "Jesus died for your sins" by saying, "So?" or "According to whom?" or, if I'm feeling cheeky, I quote Doug Stanhope and say, "How does one affect the other? It's like saying, I hit myself in the foot with a shovel for your mortgage."
''What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.''
- Christopher Hitchens - "Hitchens' Razor,"
B. Stokpaardjes
''It would be impossible for the whole world to believe in him unless he actually did exist.'' (appeal to majority / appeal to numbers!)
''Ja maar miljoenen geloven het dus..'' = (appeal to majority / appeal to numbers!) argumentum ad numeram
''Ja maar die of die (gelovige) geleerde zegt het ook en die man is toch niet dom ? '' = (appeal to popular sentiment / argumentum ad populum)
''God must have a reason for it.'' - ''God had er een reden voor''. (Hoe weet je dat ?) Waar staat dat ?
''God works in mysterious ways'' - ''Gods wegen zijn ondoorgrondelijk'' (Hoe weet je dat ?) Waar staat dat ?
"God moves in mysterious ways." fallacy known as special pleading.
"The lord reveals knowledge to the ignorant that he hides from the wise." = special pleading
''God said .... Jesus said.... God zei..... Jesus zei....'' (Hoe weet je dat ?) Waar staat dat ?
''But it is written in the bible'' - ''Ja maar het staat geschreven in de bijbel !'' (Dat is alleen maar interpretatie, ik kan ook een boek schrijven waarin staat dat God niet bestaat)
''Ja maar dat moet je anders zien, interpreteren, uitleggen.''
''Je moet de dingen niet uit de context halen. ''- Doen jullie zelf
''We komen er toch niet uit.'' ( - dus we kunnen beter stoppen met de discussie) = discussie stopper omdat ze zelf niet weten hoe het zit.
''We weten nog helemaal niets.'' = discussie stopper.
''Ik weet het niet en jij weet het ook niet.''
''Vele profetien zijn uitgekomen'' - Nee dat is alleen interpretatie.
''Jullie haten God en Jesus !'' - Je kunt niet iets haten dat niet bestaat.
''We leven nu in de eindtijd '' - Er is geen spraken van eindtijd The end of the age (fish) not the end of time or the end of the world which is a fraud in the bible Revelation book.
''Respecteer het geloof'' - Nee waarom zou ik een geloof die desinformatie en leugens verspreid en mensen vanaf jongs af aan hersenspoeld respecteren los van wat de kerk allemaal op zijn geweten heeft ?
''Repend else you go to hell !'' - Bekeer je anders kom je in de hell - = Fearmongering.
''At judgement day you stand before God''. = Waar heb je die fantasie vandaan ?
''He died for all sins'' - except the sin of disbelief, apparently.
''Er waren vele getuigen dat Jesus opgestaan was'' - Getuigen, wie ? Waar heb je dat gehoord of gelezen ? ( de bijbel geldt niet als bewijs )
C. Discussie tips
- Lees veel boeken en volg lectures over atheisme en astrotheology, mythologie en origine van het geloof.
- Bouw een basiskennis op.
- Stel moeilijke vragen en laat ze die beargumenteren zonder de regels te overtreden
- Wijs ze op de fallacys in de discussie.
- Laat ze inzien wanneer ze zichzelf vast praten
- Leg de definities uit van bv. Fraude, bedrog, liegen etc
- Vertel ze wat astrotheologie inhoud en dat dit geen astrologie is.
- Onthoud wat er gezegd is.
- Laat ze uitleggen waar hun ideen vandaan komen, wat is de basis van hun geloof ( Bijbel ?)
- Laat u zich niet overtroeven door belangrijk klinkende taal het meeste is onzin wat ze zeggen.
- De bijbel is door vele mensen geschreven en niet geinspireerd door een God iets dat zelfs de meeste christelijke en niet christelijke bijbel geleerden het over eens zijn..
- Wijs ze erop dat als Adam en Eva zondeval een mythe is (plagiaat) dan dus ook het Gospel verhaal van Jesus die voor onze zonde stierf ( original sin of Adam) vanwege Adam geen waarde heeft en dus ook een mythe moet zijn ?
- Laat gelovigen maar uitleggen hoe creationisme in zijn werk ging.
- Wijs ze op logica en rationaliteit.
- Geef gelovigen wat tips mee en dat ze vooral eerst eens de oorsprong van hun geloof en de bijbel en de mythen moeten bestuderen alsvorens dingen te geloven en aannemen dat wat de kerk hun vertelt juist is !
- Leg uit wat de Jesus karakter voorstelt : Jesus is just a character like Horus, Myttra , Serapis, Dionysus, Krishna, Buddha , Osiris. which rerpresents the aspects of the sun.. IN wintersolstice 25 dec the sun ''stands'' still for 3 days and after that he will climb futher up again
- Geef ze de feiten die zijn vastgesteld uit mythe en bijbel onderzoek door biblescholars en mythologist and astrotheologist.
- There is NO christian who tells the truth, they do not even know what the truth is, the truth is the bible is a human written book, without inspiration of a God, God does not appear in the bible at all, citing bible does not mean anything, anybody can write anything in a book, the bible is a forgery , fraud which is proven to be so, No evidence of a God let alone a Jesus to be found. give me one example of evidence of Jesus, just 1. No Adam and Eve, no Noach, No Abraham, no Moses, no disciples or apostles, no Jesus, no second coming, no end-times, no hell, demons, angels, devils. no resurrection, ascension, raising dead, cursing trees, etc impossible.
D. Weerwoord
Ja maar de bijbel is het woord van God.
Wie zegt dat ? Waar staat dat ? let op circular reasoning, cirkel argumentatie. !
I'm not obligated to make you believe it. You don't believe... because you don't want to believe.
NO not because I do not want to believe it, by the way why should I want to believe it, first the evidence than we will look further. You do not have the evidence.
E. Moeilijke vragen aan gelovigen
Hoe oud is het universum en de aarde ?
Hoelang is de mens al op aarde ?
Wanneer speelde zich het Genesis verhaal af ?
Waar komt het Genesis verhaal vandaan oorspronkelijk ?
Genesis is duidelijk allegorische mythe ( is aan de txt te zien) waarom word het door gelovigen dan letterlijk genomen ?
Als de aarde 6000 jaar oud is hoe kan het dan dat 4000 v chr er al een bloeiende Sumerische cultuur was en dat zelfs daarvoor 6000 - 12000 jaar eerder al culturen zijn gevonden met mechalitische bouwwerken ?
Rekensom Heden - 2000 jr is jaar 0 - 4000 jaar is 4000 v chr. = 6000 jaar v chr. met Sumerische cultuur en toen werd de aarde geschapen ?
Hoe onststond de zon, zonnenstelsel met planeten, manen en de aarde ?
Hoe schiep ''God'' de aarde ?
Hoe schiep ''God'' de mens ?
Waar komt al het water vandaan om hoger dan de bergen uit te komen ?
Wanneer vond het Noach verhaal plaats ?
Hoe kreeg Noach al die dieren in die Ark ?
Hoe kon Noach al die dieren voeden en verzorgen ?
Die dieren van allerlei continenten hoe kwamen die naar de Ark ?
Hoe kan het dat de bijbel stories zoveel overeenkomen met mythen ?
Geef de bewijzen dat Jesus bestaan heeft?
Why is there a pagan Egyptian obelisk on the Vatican plaza together with the solstice and equinox sun cross ? Thats pagan sunworshipping cult symbolic material, Why is that on the Vatican plaza, are they're telling us they are in reality pagan based religion, Christmas, Easter are all pagan festivals, Saturday = Saturn day, Sunday = Sun day, Monday = Moon day, which are all derived from pagan sun and stellar cult.
F. Definities
(A)theist: Classification:
1. Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung: "I do not believe, I know."
2. De facto theist. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. "I don't know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
3. Leaning towards theism. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
4. Completely impartial. Exactly 50 per cent. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
5. Leaning towards Agnosticism. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
6. De facto atheist. Very low probability, but short of zero. "I don't know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
7. Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung knows there is one."
"1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
Assumption = Aanname, hypothese, veronderstelling. Accepteren (voor waar erkennen) van een bewering, idee, mening, opvatting, stelling (die niet vaststaat). Citaat: "Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups" ("Aanname is de moeder aller blunders"). Zie ook: fact.
Questionable eisegesis: Reading into the text what one already believes,
Scholarly Exegesis : Reading the text as it is written, and then ( and only then) drawing conclusions.
De tien geboden van Atheisten
1 U zult de bijbel als zodanig niet als bewijs opvoeren voor wat dan ook.
2 U zult geen beroep doen op appeal to majority ( Ja maar miljoenen geloven het dus.. )
3 Doe niet alsof u weet wat ''God'' wil of niet !
4 Ja maar die of die (gelovige) geleerde zegt het ook en die man is toch niet dom ? ( Pupulous
5 Discussie niet afbreken met dooddoeners en afbrekers.
6 U zult uw discussie oponent geen woorden in de mond leggen.
7 Val niemand persoonlijk aan. Val de boodschapper niet aan. - Dont attack the messenger (Add Hominim)
8 Laat u niet leiden door emoties.
9 Studeer eerst de origine van het geloof en de bijbel voor dat u gelooft.
10 Gebruik Ocams Razor waar het toegepast kan worden. - Use Ocams Razor
11 Geef een ander niet de schuld van wat u zelf doet.
12 Neem dingen niet letterlijk die allegorisch en of symbolisch en mythologies zijn.
13 Blijf bij het onderwerp en wijk niet af - Stay on the topic.
14 Draai de boel niet om - You should not turn things around.
You cannot proof a negative.
Believing its true does not mean it IS true.
Faith is believing without reasoning.
Ignorant are the ones who do not study but are brainwashed and stuborn in their believe given by church.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups" ("Aanname is de moeder aller blunders")
"The virtue of using evidence is precisely that we can come to an agreement about it. But if you listen to two people who are arguing about something, and they each of them have passionate faith that they're right, but they believe different things -- they belong to different religions, different faiths, there is nothing they can do to settle their disagreement short of shooting each other, which is what they very often actually do."
--Richard Dawkins
Feiten lijst
1. Genesis = Was originaly a Sumerian mythe, allegoric tale. Jews in 6th century while exiled by the Babylonians wrote Genesis from Babylonian scripture which had it from their ancestors the Sumerian culture about 6000 years ago. While the supposed Moses could not have written it because ''he'' lived more than 1000 years earlier so Moses did not wrote the Pentateuch.
2. Noach story = Gilgamesh Sumerian tale.
3. Abraham and Sara = Fantasy tale, allegoric meaning and derived from Bramah and Sarasvati from India.
4. Lots story = non historical, allegorical. If their was anything to the salt pilar and the other events in the story it was an natural disaster of some unknown kind, nothing to do with ''God''
5. Moses = Mythological character, 3 signs to pharao are nothing but initiation ritual not some miracle from God which Moses had to do before the Pharao.
6. Exodus = Non historical, plagues are non historical as presented, could only have been natural and certainly did not appear in 1 day, nothing to do with God destroying humans via nature.
7 Ark of Covenant = Egyptian ancient technology, why dangerous, because the ark was build as a capacitor of static electricity which is proven by University and John Hutchinson !
8 Mana = Probably just a fairytale, Powder or seeds from the Tamarisk or other tree.
9. Manna 2 = Gold from golden calf was monatomic gold due to burning the calf. Heating gold gives you monatomic gold which is gold in powder form. Producing this form of gold is ancient egyptian technology which is proven to be so. When digesting this stuff you could enhance your psychic abilities and or natural flow of energy in your body, which is proven to be so. Pharao's used this and also the ''wands of Horus ''
10 ARk was build by Egyptians not from instruction by God which is ridiculous.
11 The 10 commandments = Spells out of the code of Hamurabi and also from the 42 negative confessions or spells in the Egyptian book of the dead (1500 BCE). and or 1760 BCE Hammurabi code.
12. The law = likewise obviously a Egyptian origin.
13 Jesus = Sun god aspect of sun in various faces in the zodiac in reference to the earth.
14 Miracles as raising dead, cursing tree, feeding multitude, healings, resurrection and ascension are not possible and are themes from various myths from thousands of years earlier all copied and edited into the Jesus myth out of scripture from Alexandria Library.
15 Walking on water = Sun ''walking on water''
16. Maria, 12 apostles, Joseph etc = All characters in the astrotheology myth..
17 Equinox and solstice cross and obelisk on vatican plaza = pagna sun worshipping cult.
18 Sodom and Gomora = Natural disaster (if at all happpened ) nothing to do with God destroying a city because some people did not ''behave''
19. Astrotheology = Pagan sun worshipping based on zodiac, moon, sun, stars and visible planets in our solar system. Jews, gnostics and christians ''borrowed'' symbols, scripture, festival, themes etc to be able to convert more to christian religion easily. Not any symbol, scripture, festival myth is unique to christian religion, all is picked, stolen and borrow and copied from much older mainly pagan sun and stellar cults.
20 Jesus = Pagan sun worshiping character which represents the sun who '''dies'' on cross and is resurrected again every morning as well as at the winter solstice 25 dec after 3 days. Virgin birth , miracles, etc borrowed from older myths. No evidence of existence of Jesus, not biblical not external and historical.
21 Maria = Virgo, Jesus = Sun, 12 apostles = zodiac, Judas = Scorpio the backbiter, J baptist = aquarius-age, Bull is Taurus, Lamb is Aries, Jesus = Pisces.
22. Second coming of Jesus = Coming of new age Aquarius ( follow the pitcher in bible)
23 Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Lot and ... , Moses and Miriamne, Samson and Delilah, Jesus and Maria M, all represent a conflict situation and is meant allegorical not historical !
24. Yahweh, Jehovah, Baal, El, Elohim etc all human names given to the Sun in astrotheology myths.
25. Sermon on the mount = text coming from old testament scripture.
26. Water to wine = Taken from a myth from Greece where Dionisys / Bachus was the God of wine and water.
27. Bible does not count as proof . saying ''Its truth because the bible says so ''' is a circle argument and is not valid and can and may not be used in a honest discussion about the topic.
28. Evolution theory = scientific proven.
29 Creationism = unproven.
30. So called historical evidence outside bible by Historians = 10 Historians are called in to allegedly have proof and evidence of Jesus as historical person = All references are fraud , forgery, interpolations, not referencing to Jesus at all etc.
So I think you have enough for this time obviously there are many many more facts to cover. Read Achary S book and you will find many references.

Reimagined from the bones of an old fish cannery, the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California, stands apart as one of the top aquariums in the world. The expansive 3.3-acre, 320,000-square-foot facility melds into the Monterey Bay taking advantage of its unique position as part of a National Marine Sanctuary.
In the Hartsdale, New York Pet Cemetery, there is now a bronze and granite memorial unlike the hundreds of 'monuments' – large and small – dedicated to the animals who once had a loving human companion.

Year round, people to take time off work and take a holiday to rejuvenate themselves–and some may need guidance on how to make their travels more enjoyable.
As a travel blogger, you need to write captivating content that will give your readers inspiration of what to do during the holidays when they travel.
Like many international travelers, I have landed in Frankfurt on my way to another destination and then departed a short time later. Until recently, I never considered exploring the city or any nearby destinations. After seeing history come alive in Frankfurt, we drove into the countryside to Rüdesheim am Rhein in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
Early summer: it's often a season of weddings, graduations, changes, endings, new beginnings. The shifting world situations which were at the beginnings of this series of articles continue to evolve and present their own challenges, too. With those things in mind, here are five pieces of music to spark and accompany reflection, contemplation, celebration, and hope.

… NEW and Continuing
Early in the trip, I found my heart aching for the lost fishing village in Hong Kong. Although I understand the adage, "things change," it seemed like a remarkable loss. Small villages and communities are the backbone of any nation, and diversity is strength. Relishing the vibrancy of the industrial section of Mongkok and its main market, I realized that this Hong Kong history also appeared fragile. Many shop owners and vendors were elderly, and seemed to struggle. Most areas of Hong Kong were filled with young people, completely glued to their phones.

I am so happy to collaborate with friends, especially those at Mohinders!
Mohinders is a shoe company based in San Francisco, California. As the story goes, Michael Paratore left his job as a corporate lawyer to grow this brand with creative director Kristen Morabito.
The Project
We came together with a particular vision for the black slide and I am pleased to have worked with them testing models and hand dying a limited batch of these artisan made leather city slides.
The leather is first tanned with Myrobalan and Acacia, formed and assembled by hand by third-generation master artisans in Athani Village, India. The shoes are then carefully, individually hand dyed in small batches with a special iron extract by me for you in San Francisco, California.
Please feel free to respond with your thoughts and questions via email about this process or other inquiries.
with love,
- Meredith

Honoring the Troops in Iraq
Chas Helge of Troop 167 in Manistee, MI wanted to find a way to honor the local Army National Guard unit that was deployed to Iraq as his Eagle Scout project. Chas organized and produced a two hour variety show at the local high school auditorium that honored the troops with singing, instrumentals, dance, and poetry readings. Over 300 people attended the show and contributed to the cause. Money raised at the show was used to purchase material for goody bags that were assembled by Chas and his volunteers and sent to the local soldiers in Iraq. Chas also solicited elementary school students to write letters that were included in the goody bags.

Is It A Trick or Treat?
With this year of turmoil and tumult, we have had our fair share of emotional schizophrenia. We have all had many false hopes only dashed into the realities of weak global leadership leading to many economic and political uncertainties. Since today is Halloween, I thought I'd take a look and see if there are any treats like full sized Milky Way's awaiting our bags or will the future be that house that gives out the dental floss or candy corn. Trick or Treat #1 - Will we have economic growth in 2012? Answer = Trick
Until the elections, we will continue to see weak growth as corporations hoard cash and individuals are mired with a lack of confidence. Growth will be similar to what we are seeing this year….slow to no.
Trick or Treat #2 - Will there be Congressional bi-partnership to make substantive progress in deficit reduction? Answer = Trick
They will do just enough to keep money flowing so there is no governmental shutdown. The shock of S&P's downgrading of our treasury bonds has passed and both sides of the aisle will dig in their heels until after the elections. Until Congress and whomever is elected President are brave enough to tackle the entitlement programs of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, our budget woes will never be fully addressed.
Trick or Treat #3 - Will Europe finally cement a plan to handle their financial crisis? Answer = Treat
At some point in the coming weeks, look for something positive that all parties in the Eurozone can live with. However, it won't come without more pain and uncertainty.
Trick or Treat #4 - With the current crop of Republican candidates, do you think their will be one who emerges who can defeat President Obama? Answer = Treat
Unless something unforeseen occurs, Mitt Romney seems to be the most viable Republican candidate. Since most of corporate America and most moderate to conservative citizens believe a change is needed, we hope that we get this treat in November, 2012.
Trick or Treat #5 - How will the market finish for year's end? Answer = Treat
The double dip for now seems to have been overblown and Europe seems to be on their way to a plan. Let's see how the earnings season continues to play out and if current trends continue, we should see a strong finish in 2011.
I think when we get home and empty our bags out on the kitchen table, we will see more Hershey bars, Mounds, Snickers, and Butterfingers than candy corn, Dum Dum's and those horrible little wax bottles filled with foul tasting liquid. 2012 will not be without more challenges that slow to no growth brings, however we should see some positive signs before we start buying the candy for next year's Halloween.

I'm a student of human behavior, especially when it's a little peculiar. The people that intrigue me the most are those that are single-minded. I'm not talking about people who prefer to stay single. Nor, am I talking about people who have narrow views. I'm talking about a person that likes one thing so much, they don't like much else. We all know at least one person like this, a family member, a friend or even a neighbor; but what they all have in common is a laser-like focus on a particular thing. This obsession, which could be a cause, a hobby or, even, a celebrity, leaves the rest of us baffled.
Many single-minded people are worthy of notice, like a scoutmaster I have the privilege of knowing who's been in charge of our local boy scout Troop 100. He's served in this position for many years, going on countless campouts, attending workshops, holding meetings, conducting ceremonies and, as we learned at a recent Eagle Award ceremony, overseeing numerous boy scouts as they navigate the waters of earning the rank of Eagle. I'd venture to say his knowledge of scouting and everything Troop 100 is unparalleled.
Although Tim Tindall has passed his baton to another, he still performs unofficially many of the same duties. Recently, Tim took our own boy scout, Nathan, to discover what Eagle Scout project might interest him. As they set off, I hoped that some of Tim's commitment to service would rub off on our son!
In a time when there is so much to detract us from our focus, it is refreshing to have single-minded people among us. I've determined that my interest in them is truly selfish; I want what they have. If I had their same determination, I might keep my New Year's resolutions for more than a couple of days. How is it that someone can grow their hair an extra twenty inches for "Locks of Love?" Or have the biggest collection of stamps? Or, have the same best friend for their whole life? I want to cry out, "How do I resolve to be more resolved?!"
The other day I found a picture of myself in an old album. It shows me warming up for a run, while my two-year-old is pretending to warm up with me. As I looked fondly at how cute she was, it struck me. That was twenty-six years ago, which means I've been running for, at least, that long. I've been committed to doing something most people find hard or mundane most of my life! Now, I know this is far from the picture left us by Mother Teresa and her life-long commitment to the poor of Calcutta, but maybe a little single-mindedness can be cultivated. If you're like me (and you are if your #1 characteristic is ADHD), look below at 9 things you can do to help stay focused on whatever you choose.
NINE STEPS to be Single-Minded {focused}
1. Clear the noise. People who focus start by controlling their environment. Set up space that is conducive to the task at hand. Remove everything that's not helpful to your objective.
2. Create a plan. Have a clear picture of where you're going and how to get there. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Maybe just a few bullet points in a message.
3. Set up clear compensation. Focused people clearly understand why they're engaged in a particular activity. Get excited about it by creating a reward for completion to help yourself become accountable and make the task a priority over all other distractions.
4. Create routine. Being disorganized can cause distraction, stress, and inefficiency. Give everything its proper place, so you can be free to deal with things that come up.
5. Work methodically. When you multitask, you accomplish less and what you accomplish is lower quality. Schedule your day to compartmentalize projects so you can give them your complete attention.
6. Live in the now. Be respectful of lessons learned and have a vision of where you're going, but always be mindful of what's happening now, the people around you and what they're saying.
7. No second guessing. Everyone's different, so don't confuse someone's else's path with your own.
8. Embrace failure. Don't let a mistake disappoint you for long. Allow it to guide you back to the right path.
9. Learn from others. You may not share the same path, but you can learn the characteristics of successful people. Make a habit of being around them, or you can read a biography about a successful person.

With the Sun shining ever-so-brightly on Rainvouver lately, we badly need to conserve water and…..so we turn to juice!
(On a serious note, we do need to conserve water and that is why the Stage 3 watering restrictions are in effect from July 20th onwards)
Coming back to juices, of course we still use water to make juice, but that is not the reason why we would give up on them. Fresh juices are packed with nutrients, are great food supplements and are perfect source of energy. Today we are only talking about cold-pressed juices and not the juice cleanses.
(We will be back with some juice cleanse packages soon)
It can be very time consuming for busy-bees to make fresh juice at home and that is why we are giving you a list of top juicers around the block.
Krokodile Pear – Krokodile? Crocodile? What's in a name? Let's focus on the amazing variety of juices that these guys offer. Be it in their mason jars or in their bottles, these colorful juices not only look nice and bright but are also healthy and yummy. Cold-pressed juices, blended juices and nut milks are awaiting for you so what are you waiting for? Our recommendation? Blackcomb. Not your regular juice but even better. Try it for yourself.
The Juice Truck – Pop by their Cafe in Kitsilano or stop by the truck and enjoy their wide array of goodies. Don't be fooled when they call themselves as the 'Juice Truck' because their cafe serves food as well. Sushi, salad, and spring rolls, select wisely and enjoy well! Juice and food, what else could we ask for? The Turmeric is the juice you should try followed by their Wellness Shot. Healthy shot, you see 😉
Leafy Box – If it is leafy, it has to be about the greens. Spicy Greens, Sweet Greens and Essential Greens. Pick the greens that suit your taste palate. Their juice cleanse is what they are known for so we will talk about that later. We suggest that you try out all their cold-pressed juices to get a hint of the cleanse packages before hand!
Say Hello to the New Juicers –
Melu Juice – Coal Harbour's newest gem. Hidden gem for the moment but definitely not hard to spot. From juices, to smoothies, to 'mylks' and puddings, they offer pretty many healthy items. Pick your juice based on the benefits you seek. Thirst quenching, Cold fighting, Immune boosting are just some of the benefits. For the complete list of benefits that these flavor-rich juices have, check out their store at 1110 W Pender St. soon.
p.s – Grabbit loves Berry Beetiful.
Nectar Juicery – If you are not aware, let's update you that these folks are now open at 102 West Hastings St. Brightly colored juices fill the warm and stylish interiors of their store. Pick the juice that suits your personality. Be the 'Leader', 'Motivate', 'Innovate' or 'Chill out'. If you wish to 'Protect', you will have to wait as this is temporarily. For the uninitiated, these are the names of their juices.
Check out all the juices before we come back with some more Summer suggestions 😉
