Clean Slate -- Part Deux
I did it! I cleaned my slate (see my post yesterday "Clean Slate") this morning. It took 50 minutes to pack it all up and move it to another room.
It was scary. What if there was a bill on my desk I haven't paid yet? What if I put the card reader in a box and couldn't find it? These are thoughts that were running through my mind the entire 50 minutes. I think these are self-imposed road blocks. The fact that I need to have these things is a good reason to clean out the junk so I have space for the stuff that's really important in my life.
I also observed that I when I got to the closet, my first thought was, "well, everything is up off the floor, I don't really need to clear the closet out." I quickly realized this was part of my problem. Clean slate means clean slate. Everything. It all has to go somewhere else. So, I brought boxes in and placed everything from the closet into boxes.
There were many things in my closet that need to be placed in the yard sale I'm planning to have. This is an excellent way to get them into the yard sale boxes. If I had left stuff on my closet shelves, it would defeat my purpose.
My next step will now be to spend 50 minutes every morning going through as many boxes as I can in that amount of time to separate what I want to keep, sell or throw away. It's doubtful there is much to throw away but I'm going to keep an open mind. It shouldn't take me very many mornings to get through them. I'll keep you posted!
Meanwhile, I've brought my iRoomba upstairs to let her do her work on my dusty floor. I swept it this morning but the Roomba picks up the grit that gets down into the cracks of the wood floor. Gene says he notices a difference when I don't run her often enough.
It feels really good to have wiped my slate clean with this room. I think it's going to be so much more pleasant for me to sit in here and use my light table for creating cards and such. I've found that I have gotten careless with my card making because everything was such a mess and I just felt cluttered and that doesn't help me feel creative. I have several rooms that need to be clean slated but I'm going to just stay in today. One room at a time!
Thanks for reading! I feel like I've aired a little of my dirty laundry here but if it helps someone else create a clean slate, then it's worth it to me.
love, susan

Very inspirational, Susan. I need to do something similar with my studio/office. A do-over turned into Oops-I-need-more-bookcases-and-storage-drawers-but-I-have-no-more-space situation. So, I keep tripping over books, and boxes, paper trimmers, printers, and having to dig for things packed in boxes. Maybe I need to give away more books? :DReplyDelete
See my blog. Your mess was nothing compared to mine but our feelings were the same....and everyone is different. I love your space! It does feel so good and I say GOOD FOR YOU, my friend!!! Huggs for a great job done!ReplyDelete

FOR SOME WHILE the voyage of the Abraham Lincoln was marked by no incident. But one circumstance arose that displayed Ned Land's marvelous skills and showed just how much confidence we could place in him.
Off the Falkland Islands on June 30, the frigate came in contact with a fleet of American whalers, and we learned that they hadn't seen the narwhale. But one of them, the captain of the Monroe, knew that Ned Land had shipped aboard the Abraham Lincoln and asked his help in hunting a baleen whale that was in sight. Anxious to see Ned Land at work, Commander Farragut authorized him to make his way aboard the Monroe. And the Canadian had such good luck that with a right-and-left shot, he harpooned not one whale but two, striking the first straight to the heart and catching the other after a few minutes' chase!
Assuredly, if the monster ever had to deal with Ned Land's harpoon, I wouldn't bet on the monster.
The frigate sailed along the east coast of South America with prodigious speed. By July 3 we were at the entrance to the Strait of Magellan, abreast of Cabo de las Virgenes. But Commander Farragut was unwilling to attempt this tortuous passageway and maneuvered instead to double Cape Horn.
The crew sided with him unanimously. Indeed, were we likely to encounter the narwhale in such a cramped strait? Many of our sailors swore that the monster couldn't negotiate this passageway simply because "he's too big for it!"
Near three o'clock in the afternoon on July 6, fifteen miles south of shore, the Abraham Lincoln doubled that solitary islet at the tip of the South American continent, that stray rock Dutch seamen had named Cape Horn after their hometown of Hoorn. Our course was set for the northwest, and the next day our frigate's propeller finally churned the waters of the Pacific.
"Open your eyes! Open your eyes!" repeated the sailors of the Abraham Lincoln.
And they opened amazingly wide. Eyes and spyglasses (a bit dazzled, it is true, by the vista of $2,000.00) didn't remain at rest for an instant. Day and night we observed the surface of the ocean, and those with nyctalopic eyes, whose ability to see in the dark increased their chances by fifty percent, had an excellent shot at winning the prize.
As for me, I was hardly drawn by the lure of money and yet was far from the least attentive on board. Snatching only a few minutes for meals and a few hours for sleep, come rain or come shine, I no longer left the ship's deck. Sometimes bending over the forecastle railings, sometimes leaning against the sternrail, I eagerly scoured that cotton-colored wake that whitened the ocean as far as the eye could see! And how many times I shared the excitement of general staff and crew when some unpredictable whale lifted its blackish back above the waves. In an instant the frigate's deck would become densely populated. The cowls over the companionways would vomit a torrent of sailors and officers. With panting chests and anxious eyes, we each would observe the cetacean's movements. I stared; I stared until I nearly went blind from a worn-out retina, while Conseil, as stoic as ever, kept repeating to me in a calm tone:
"If master's eyes would kindly stop bulging, master will see farther!"
But what a waste of energy! The Abraham Lincoln would change course and race after the animal sighted, only to find an ordinary baleen whale or a common sperm whale that soon disappeared amid a chorus of curses!
However, the weather held good. Our voyage was proceeding under the most favorable conditions. By then it was the bad season in these southernmost regions, because July in this zone corresponds to our January in Europe; but the sea remained smooth and easily visible over a vast perimeter.
Ned Land still kept up the most tenacious skepticism; beyond his spells on watch, he pretended that he never even looked at the surface of the waves, at least while no whales were in sight. And yet the marvelous power of his vision could have performed yeoman service. But this stubborn Canadian spent eight hours out of every twelve reading or sleeping in his cabin. A hundred times I chided him for his unconcern.
"Bah!" he replied. "Nothing's out there, Professor Aronnax, and if there is some animal, what chance would we have of spotting it? Can't you see we're just wandering around at random? People say they've sighted this slippery beast again in the Pacific high seas - I'm truly willing to believe it, but two months have already gone by since then, and judging by your narwhale's personality, it hates growing moldy from hanging out too long in the same waterways! It's blessed with a terrific gift for getting around. Now, professor, you know even better than I that nature doesn't violate good sense, and she wouldn't give some naturally slow animal the ability to move swiftly if it hadn't a need to use that talent. So if the beast does exist, it's already long gone!"
I had no reply to this. Obviously we were just groping blindly. But how else could we go about it? All the same, our chances were automatically pretty limited. Yet everyone still felt confident of success, and not a sailor on board would have bet against the narwhale appearing, and soon.
On July 20 we cut the Tropic of Capricorn at longitude 105 degrees, and by the 27th of the same month, we had cleared the equator on the 110th meridian. These bearings determined, the frigate took a more decisive westward heading and tackled the seas of the central Pacific. Commander Farragut felt, and with good reason, that it was best to stay in deep waters and keep his distance from continents or islands, whose neighborhoods the animal always seemed to avoid - "No doubt," our bosun said, "because there isn't enough water for him!" So the frigate kept well out when passing the Tuamotu, Marquesas, and Hawaiian Islands, then cut the Tropic of Cancer at longitude 132 degrees and headed for the seas of China.
We were finally in the area of the monster's latest antics! And in all honesty, shipboard conditions became life-threatening. Hearts were pounding hideously, gearing up for futures full of incurable aneurysms. The entire crew suffered from a nervous excitement that it's beyond me to describe. Nobody ate, nobody slept. Twenty times a day some error in perception, or the optical illusions of some sailor perched in the crosstrees, would cause intolerable anguish, and this emotion, repeated twenty times over, kept us in a state of irritability so intense that a reaction was bound to follow.
And this reaction wasn't long in coming. For three months, during which each day seemed like a century, the Abraham Lincoln plowed all the northerly seas of the Pacific, racing after whales sighted, abruptly veering off course, swerving sharply from one tack
to another, stopping suddenly, putting on steam and reversing engines in quick succession, at the risk of stripping its gears, and it didn't leave a single point unexplored from the beaches of Japan to the coasts of America. And we found nothing! Nothing except an immenseness of deserted waves! Nothing remotely resembling a gigantic narwhale, or an underwater islet, or a derelict shipwreck, or a runaway reef, or anything the least bit unearthly!

I am 21 years old and live in Pennsylvania. I am a full time college student.
I was sexually abused in tenth grade. Actually it started the summer going into tenth grade. It lasted for roughly a year.
It has been about five years since it ended and I am just now learning to heal and deal with what happened.
Everything has been super hard on my family and myself. My friend told me to start blogging and said it would be good for me to try and see if it helps get some emotions out and feel like I am helping others. So, here is my blog.
Sit back, relax, stay a while! Feel free to follow and leave comments, I would love to know what you think, or just get to know you!

For the past (almost) year, Cody and I have been off and on working on our Alphabet Book. It took a bit of a backseat during the later stages of pregnancy with Mika but we kicked it off again after she was born and have finally finished it up. I got a printers proof yesterday (which looked amazing if I do say so myself) and expect our box load to arrive next week.
So what is this book? Well, its a photographic exploration of the alphabet by Cody and myself. We talked about a subject for each letter and then both took a photo of the subject. Hers are the top images and mine are the bottom. I think the letter 'W' really displays it best - the shot out our art room window (note the image differs depending on if you are shooting from the size of a child or an adult).
We have got 100 which we are giving to our friends and maybe selling a few online. The approach is the same as what we do with the blog - we are just having fun with it and its an exercise of art, exploration and discussion which I'm having with my daughter. Beats sitting around watching Dora.
More details about the book can be found on my website.
We are going to have a backyard launch party during which Cody is going to do a book reading. I'll post what is sure to be a most entertaining video of the event!

Your bad credit status is the reason why you often get rejected from several loan lenders? If you are struggling through small financial troubles and need an external monetary aid, bad credit loans can be the suitable loan source for you. It does not matter if you are overdue on your bills or if you have declared bankrupt or insolvent – you will still probably be able to get your loan.
Bad credit loans are specially meant for the people with poor credit. Now, people with imperfect scores do not have to worry as they can avail swift finance with this loan help. Moreover, in order to get your application approved you would have to have a steady income, be over eighteen years old, be a citizen of the country you are applying in, and have a bank account. Just leave the stress because neither your credit score nor the reason you want to borrow the money matters to the lender.
Internet is a wonderful way to get the bad credit loans help within least possible time. Complete the available e-form available on the lenders website. There will be no long queues and no faxing. The loan money will send in your checking account after you get the approval. These loan lenders also provide wedding loans.
Being a bad creditor, the downside of bad credit loans can be charging high interest rates. In addition to all these, you can make these loans come with lower interest rates with a high-valuable security. A high valuable ensures the lenders about the security of money lend and ultimately you can enjoy low interest rate of the loan.
Above all, you have to make some good investigation of online financial market. There are numerous lenders that are available with free quotes. Making comparisons will result fruitful. Ultimately, it will help you to land up with a pocket friendly deal that completely suits your needs and affordability.

Step through the door of 188 Mill Road and you might be on your way to bigger things; one possible example being the Cambridge University Library Rose Book-Collecting Prize for Cambridge University Students.
The Rose Book-Collecting Prize was endowed in 2006 and is believed to be the first of its kind offered by any European university. As well as the £500 prize money, the winner will be offered 10 years' free membership of the Friends of Cambridge University Library.The contest is open to all current undergraduate and graduate students of the University registered for a Cambridge degree. To enter, students should submit a list of their collection together with a short essay, explaining the theme and significance of the collection, by the first day of the Lent full term. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to talk about their collection to the judges.The judges will make their decision based on the intelligence and originality of the collection, its coherence as a collection, as well as the thought, creativity and persistence demonstrated by the collector and the condition of the books. The value of the collections will not be a factor in determining the winning entry – a coherent collection of paperbacks is a perfectly valid entry. Previous shortlisted entries include 'Collecting the Gothic', 'Missionary travels in the South Seas', 'The handwritten record: manuscripts and annotated books', and 'German and Austrian travel and first hand experience in Asiatic dominions of the Ottoman Empire, 1871–1918'. In 2010, the prize was won by Ian Heames (Gonville & Caius) for his collection 'Small press poetry, mostly British'.The prize will be awarded in the Easter Term. It has been funded by Professor James Marrow and Dr Emily Rose in honour of Dr Rose's parents, Daniel and Joanna Rose.Professor Marrow said: "By establishing a prize through the UL, we want to stress and call attention to the importance of a great central library, which is the focus of the research activities of the university, and which serves a much wider range of purposes than the college libraries."Book collecting brings people together and we hope that a prize administered through the UL will help collectors from different colleges in Cambridge to meet one another and enjoy the company of an enlarged group of similarly-minded individuals."
There's a bit more about book-collecting competitions at Fine Books & Collections and you can read about some of the previous Rose Prize winners 2008-9 and 2009-10. The aim is to encourage students to collect around a theme that will represent a real addition to their knowledge: examples of the fascinating possibilities available at our shop might be science books from the early 20th century or forgotten women novelists.

multi-dsp Virus, move from mac to windows?
I just built a new Windows 10 PC to run Cubase with my firewire powercores.
All my Powercore plugs run great with latest driver and JBridge and all my licenses are recognised. Problem is, I only have the mutli-dsp Virus plugins generated for MacOS . . .
Does anyone have any bright ideas how I could get multi-dsp virus working on Windows when I only have the VST and AudioUnit generated for Mac? If I could get a copy from someone else, is there some kind of id file inside my Mac VST which I could copy over? In principle, the license itself is stored in my Powercore, right?
(Single-DSP Virus is working fine btw)
I don't understand why Access stopped generating the plugin for multi-dsp. In every other way, the Powercore platform is exactly as it was when TC discontinued it. But the removal of the multi-dsp virus plugin-generating service effectively negates the value of that licence for me.
I know, I know, I had fair warning. But I never considered I'd be switching to Windows 🙂

"Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector's passion borders on the chaos of memories." – Walter Benjamin
Most of us are collectors of 'something.' I personally have a large coin collection started when I was 12-years-old. My wife Sandra has a 'very' large teapot and teacup collection. She also has collected a massive Christmas ornament assemblage, numbering over 1,000, of which she can recount the origin of every one. Yes, I am serious. A golf buddy has an extensive driver collection. A childhood friend collects antique medical supplies and equipment, which I might add, should be in the Smithsonian Institution.
Now, take a few moments and think about what you collect and why. To me, the 'why' is just as important as the 'what.' Sandra collects tea cups and teapots because, "They are beautiful and they remind me of when my elderly neighbor would invite me, as a little girl, over for tea. When she passed away, she wanted me to have her teapot. This piece was, and still is, very special to me."
My golf buddy blames his driving 'yips' on his equipment. After a pattern of bad drives, he says, "Equipment failure! Gotta be the driver. A new one will fix everything." Why my friend collects medical supplies remains a mystery, although she is a doctor. When she gave me a tour, there were too many sharp objects around and bizarre looking 'stuff' to ask. But, rest assured, she has her reasons. For me personally, I started collecting coins when I was in the hospital for an appendectomy. It gave me something to do during recovery. Keep in mind, this was a time before computers and televisions in rooms.
What people collect and why is fascinating to me. It becomes especially interesting when it evolves into "couples collecting," as it has for Sandra and me.
It was Christmas, 1986. Sandra and I were on our way to a friend's home for our annual faculty Christmas party. Rotating home locations within my department was something everyone enjoyed. Although we had been to their home many times, this was the first Christmas visit.
When we drove through the entrance to their community, every home was tastefully decorated in what friends in our area called "traditional Williamsburg" – a large fresh evergreen wreath, perhaps adorned with fresh apples and single white candles in each window. If there were outside lights, they were small white lights in trees or around railings. Perhaps a small spotlight to accent the front door. There was a feeling of reverence and calm. Simple. Elegant. Tasteful.
Everyone wore their holiday best and we were greeted at the door with smiles and hugs. Sandra made sure I presented the lady of the home with a hostess gift, a gift, which I might add, I almost forgot. After everyone settled in, the hostess said, "All, please come with me. I want to share our family's special place."
We all gathered by the entrance of a small room off the living area. It was completely dark. And then, with the flip of a switch, that dark room was transformed into a winter wonderland. The entire room resembled a small English village all decorated for Christmas. There were small shops, street lights, benches, a town square, court house, fire station, fountains, soft street sounds – an entire village right before our eyes. There was landscaping which included hills, valleys, ponds, and trees. It was like standing in the center of a Thomas Kinkade painting which had come to life.
I remember saying how beautiful it was and how I had never seen anything like it. I mumbled a lot more but most of it did not make any sense because I was on sensory overload. The hostess looked at me and said, "This is our Department 56 collection. We have been collecting for over 20 years. Every Christmas, Jim and I spend hours and days transforming this room into our holiday sanctuary. In the evening, we pour a glass of wine or have a couple eggnogs and just sit on the sofa," pointing behind her. "This is our relaxation time. A time to be together and remember."
December, 1986. That was when it all began for Sandra and me. Our own adventure into the world of Department 56 Villages. If you are not familiar with the brand, it would be worth your while to enter their world – a world of miniature beauty. The work of their artists is magnificent. The attention to detail is unmatched.
The first piece Sandra gave me was the Fishing Lodge pictured below. It reminded me of all the good times and years I had fishing and hunting with dad, my Uncle Jess and my grandfather, Ancel. The second piece, we bought together – the Farm House, also pictured below. It reminded us of the one that once stood proudly, nestled beside a stream on our family farm near Jacktown (Crabapple), Pennsylvania and the one on Sandra's family farm in Enterprise, West Virginia.
With the selection of the Farm House, Sandra and I began a holiday tradition of adding another house to our "Snow Village" collection every Christmas. As you can see from the photo at the top of this column, we have accumulated several memories. The Harley-Davidson shop is a reminder of my early motorcycle years. The Antique Shop reminds us of how much we enjoyed finding and refinishing antique furniture. The Lighthouse is a constant reminder of our wonderful years on the coast of Virginia. The School House, of our 30-plus years in public education. The Winery, of my years when I grew my own grapes and made wine.
Every building, house, and accessory has a story, a story about the years Sandra and I have spent together.
Although we have not dedicated an entire room to our collection, we do have ours prominently displayed in the dining room. I have done my best to recreate a small-town atmosphere, complete with the muffled sounds of children playing, horse drawn carriages, a distant train whistle, people talking, and carolers. Oh yes, there is more to our village than houses and buildings. We have added some small cars from my childhood. Old pine trees from my parent's 1950s decorations. A mounted WWI toy-soldier my father-in-law played with as a child. Some small river stones from my mother's home. I use them for landscaping around the pond. Pine trees leftover (which survived) from my HO Scale Train Set. And, so much more.
When we have a quiet dinner together, the only lights in the room are from the village and a few candles. The room is full of the sounds and memories of past times, places, and loved ones.
People 'collect' for many different reasons – some out of loyalty to a school, team, or person. Many collect for investment purposes. A few may collect as a legacy for their children. Many probably collect simply for the satisfaction of seeking and owning. And most, I feel, they collect because they enjoy it. Actually, the reasons why and what people collect are as varied as the items collected.
For Sandra and me, our Department 56 collection is our way of keeping the memories alive. Our snow village reminds us of a much simpler time. A time when children could sled ride way past dark. The church pews were filled every Sunday. Groups went caroling throughout the neighborhood. When shopping 'downtown' was fun, and at times, became a social event. Collecting keeps us connected with where we came from, where we have been, and with people we have loved. And that is our joy.
Until next time,
Author's Note: I would enjoy hearing about 'what' you collect and 'why.' You can leave your story at the bottom of this column or, if you choose, you can contact me at email@example.com or on Facebook (Michael Lambiotte).

Both of these studies have popped up in the last couple days. At first I thought they were contradictory, but they just come at their conclusions from slightly different angles, Certain Television Fare Can Help Ease Aggression in Young Children, Study Finds
In a study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, researchers reported the results of a program designed to limit the exposure of preschool children to violence-laden videos and television shows and increase their time with educational programming that encourages empathy. They found that the experiment reduced the children's aggression toward others, compared with a group of children who were allowed to watch whatever they wanted.
More Sesame Street and less gun play. This study has similar findings,Excessive TV in childhood linked to long-term antisocial behaviour
The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality traits, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behaviour.
[ ]…Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behaviour(in children), though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first 'real-life' study that has asked about TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behaviour.
Though the New Zealand researchers also noted that one or two hours a day of what they called quality programming – more educational and less violent. And while we're on the subject of behavior and behavior modification, New study raises questions about religion as deterrent against criminal behaviour
The U.S. study found that through "purposeful distortion or genuine ignorance," hardcore criminals often co-opt religious doctrine to justify or further their crimes.
The findings could have important implications, the researchers say, for how faith-based services are administered within the corrections system.
[ ]…
They interviewed 48 people who were actively involved in serious and violent street-level crimes, including drug dealing, robbery, car jacking and burglary.
Almost all of them professed a belief in God and identified with the Christian faith. However, many of the criminals had an incomplete understanding of the rules and expectations of their faith, the study found.
One 33-year-old criminal, identified in the study by the nickname "Triggerman," refused to accept the suggestion that a consequence of murder was eternal damnation.
"No, no, no, I don't think that is right," he told the researchers. "Anything can be forgiven. We live in Hell now and you can do anything in Hell. … God has to forgive everyone, even if they don't believe in him."
They still show reruns of Cops in some areas. When it was on I would come across it wile channel surfing and almost every week some guy, usually shirtless for some reason, would be face down being cuffed and yelling something about only Jesus can judge me. That kind of rationalization for behavior is very common in the South. I heard it while growing up and still hear it. It is the OK maybe I did do something wrong, but who are you to judge me interpretation of morality. Though this study and shows like Cops perpetuate a distorted and side-long view of crime, behavior and morality. For someone to commit street crimes – which can be devastating, has become the pinnacle of anti-social behavior. Yet for the average person, the wrongs down them, acts committed which have the most adverse lifetime effects on their economic status, job security, housing, health and retirement security, will be perpetuated by nice college educated people who work in offices behind a desk using a spreadsheet. It has been said that these desk jockeys are too big to prosecute. Maybe they shouldn't go to jail, I don't know, but they could be banned from say banking or insurance or oil refining, in addition to paying a fine.

With warmer weather upon us, it has allowed us to get back to working our our construction projects.
For the roof over the trailer, Gerald and I finished the beams across the middle and back set of posts. Now we just need to do a bit of adjusting on the front beam, due to some shifting during the winter, and we'll be all set to start putting up rafters. Once that starts happening, the roof should progress much quicker. Which is good, because we don't want to be out there working on this in May when the bugs arrive.
I have also been working on our toilet room. I managed to scrape off all the snow and finish the floor at the back. Once that was completed I put up the center wall. A few days after that I added the two side walls. All of this you can see in the picture below.
The next part, is to frame in the wall that will have the door in it. After that, I'm a bit stuck, as the framing of the walls for the closet at the back will have to wait until we do enough work on the trailer roof such that we can remove the bracing, as there is a brace on one of the corner posts that goes over the back corner of the toilet room. Theoretically, I could move it now, but with the ground still frozen and things being as they are, I'd rather not mess with it.
We're scheduled to do some more work on it late this coming week, so hopefully we can get to the point where we're rafterizing the roof (I love making up new words :P)

power bank charger light indicator – Slim Thin 30000mAh LED Metal Portable External Backup
What is capacity bank? aptitude bank also called mobile battery, external battery,
spare battery, digital charging companion, and charging stick. It in addition to has a
very personal name: mobile phone lover. Power bank concept has been developed
along past the hasty bump and popularization of digital products, and its definition
is: portable capacity supply which is easy to carry once large capacity.
In the lighthearted of the growing diversity of digital products features, more frequent
usage, as competently as closer and closer act out membership considering our daily life, the problems
how to mass the use time of digital products and electronic products, how to
facilitate human living, how to go to power supply, and how to pretense its full role have
no time to delay. faculty bank, is the best answer intended to quarters these problems.
Carrying a mobile capacity can accomplish outside charging for a variety of digital products
anytime, anywhere.
Power banks setting depend largely on the tone of both batteries and support
board. high environment battery cells are the basis of mobile capacity life. The usual
lithium polymer batteries have a longer sparkle expectancy than 18,650 cylindrical
lithium ion batteries, and their security risk is relatively low. The former one
normally can be used for two or three years. Mobile capability bank circuit board can be
treated as a control system, which is mainly blamed for aptitude distribution and
transformation. It converts the voltage provided by lithium batteries into the
standard voltage to have the funds for electricity for charging device. good guidance board has
a conversion rate of taking place to 90%, even if a general one has 80 ~ 85% and a bad one has
only 70%. It the conversion rate is less than 80%, it means that the faculty bank
suffers large parentage loss, and the battery cell itself suffers large calorific value.
If you knew what is capacity bank and plot to buy now, Here are some tips that would put up to you:
First and foremost, you craving to know not quite the battery size and the charger specifications of your smartphone and you will find it printed upon the battery and the charger or upon the box in which your cellphones packed.
Then, the knack bank brought should at least have the thesame size as your smartphones battery, which could ensure that your battery gets fully charged at least once. More frequently your smartphones direct out of power, well along mAh that power banks could collection for more charges.
The third, dwindling you should broadcast is that the output voltage of the facility bank should be equal to or superior than that of your device. Fourthly, how many devices you bow to along, how many ports and cables that the facility bank should come with, letting you court case more than one device at a time.
Lastly, reduction is that you should pick a talent bank featuring a power-cut knack once coming afterward a rushed circuit and overcharged. We would recommend you to pick one from a trusted seller, or a branded one. accomplish avoid brute fooled by tall claims and regretting later.

Best era to freeing and combat per month of skill bank, thus you can ensure that the internal batteries to preserve the best condition, and effectively extend its relieve life.
ThenUse capacity bank suitably: realize not attempt to use until thoroughly charged and not over-depletion of the battery. It is advocated that complete not delay charging next the war has not been completed, as this as a consequence sacrificed its life. attain not over-depletion of the battery, accomplish not use to completely discharge, then it will cause some irreversible loss.
LastlyUse in the right temperature and humidity: We may all have this experience, taking into account you retrieve your TV in damp days, the screen is a little blurry and the colors will be distorted, and which is exactly the impact of humidity for appliances.

Apologetics – Lesson 1: Does it Really Matter What a Person Believes?
We start our journey into apologetics with a basic question: Does it make sense to believe in God? This leads us, logically, to two questions, which are encompassed by the first:
- Does it really matter what a person believes?
- Does God really exist?
In Lesson 1 we will approach the first of these two questions.
Does it matter?
If we are going to be honest with ourselves we have to admit that we do not live in a Christian society. While many of the values our country was founded under are derived from Christian principles, it is clear that our society does not conform to the Bible in all matters. It is also clear that we do not live in an atheistic society. Were this true we would not see the huge number of churches and other places of worship dotting the landscape. The simple truth is, we live in a pluralistic society. By that I mean that our society embraces many faiths and philosophical viewpoints at the same time. All too often when we bear witness to the Gospel of Christ we are confronted with the attitude of ambivalence. No one cares what you have to say because they think they can just go to the next church, mosque, shrine, or temple and find a religion that best suits they're lifestyle. And they're right.
Mankind has remade God in his own image so many times over the centuries that we really can find a religion that suits just about anyone's personal taste. How can the gospel of Christ compete with this kind of marketplace? Here is a sample of what is out there:
- PANTHEISM – Everything is God.
- POLYTHEISM – Many gods.
- NEW AGE – God is within all of us.
- HINDUISM – A form of polytheism mixed with reincarnation.
- BUDDHISM – The quest for "enlightenment."
- ISLAM – Allah is God and Mohammed is his prophet.
- REINCARNATION – Try and try again…
- ATHEISM – There is no god.
- AGNOSTICISM – God cannot be known.
- MORMONISM – God is an exalted man from another planet.
- JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES – Jesus is Michael the archangel.
- CHRISTIANITY – The Triune God of Scripture.
This is just a sample and the descriptions are brief but you can usually find this, and more, in every major US city.
We have also been given much advice by our society. The politically correct among us will assert that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. Philosophers will tell you that you cannot know objective truth and that your perceptions are what make something true. Truth is subjective. Scientists tell us that faith is for those who believe in myths and make believe. Science cannot prove that God exists therefore there is no God. Bus is any of this true?
The Law of Non-Contradiction
There is a fundamental rule in logic that nearly everyone agrees with. The Law of Non-Contradiction, simply stated, means that two contradictory statements cannot both be true at the same time and in the same respect. Something cannot be true and false at the same time. My favorite way of illustrating this is the Father-Son analogy. I am a father and I am a son. I am not a father and a son at the same time in the same relationship. I am a son to my father but not a son to my son. Likewise I am a father to my son but not a son to my son. Make sense?
So how does this apply to faith? Glad you asked! When the atheist proclaims that there is no god, while at the same time the Muslim is proclaiming that there is no god but Allah, we know one thing with certainty. They cannot both be right! Somebody is wrong. It is possible that they could both be wrong but both of these statements cannot be correct.
There are important implications here for matters of faith. Everyone cannot be right in his or her beliefs and if God really exists it matters what you believe. If God exists he does not exist for some and not for others. We should endeavor to seek for the truth about God.
The Law of Common Sense
The law of common sense, as I call it, is not as popular today as it once was. As Mark Twain once said, "The problem with common sense is it's not common." Given the amount of craziness in the world I doubt he knew how right he was. Nevertheless there are some important points that we can draw on this just from our daily existence. It is only in the realm of faith that we are willing to allow for violations to the law of non-contradiction. In all other areas of our life we depend on objective truth. Here are some examples:
- When you go to the doctor you want him to diagnose you based on facts not what he feels.
- When your child is about to run in front of a truck you do not rely on his or her feelings to determine if it is safe.
- You would never tell you stockbroker to invest your money based on feelings and what he believes to be true.
Despite all of this why, when it comes to the arena of faith are we told that truth does not matter? Is this consistent? I think not.
The bottom line here is that it is not loving and kind to tell someone that it does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. Someone can be very sincere but be sincerely wrong. You may have all the faith in the world that a bridge will support your weight but if termites have eaten through it then your faith is not based on truth. Real faith has content; it is not a blind leap in the dark. If God exists it is not how sincere you are that matters but how right you are in your faith. Is the content of your faith in line with the truth about God?
The Truth
I said at the beginning of this study that we would be learning how to answer objections to the Christian faith and not spending time and energy refuting all other faiths. I realize that what I have said thus far in no way proves that Christianity is true. If that were my goal then you would be right in saying that I failed miserably. Fortunately for me, that was not my goal. My goal was to refute the concept that all faiths lead to God or that it does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. I will let the reader be the judge of how well that was proven.
From here we will turn to the Bible. You see, the Bible boldly proclaims that there is a true and living God. Because the reality is, my friends, that God does exist and He exists as the God revealed in the Bible (Jeremiah 16:20; 10:10a.) The Bible does not make an attempt to prove God's existence but tells us rather simply that He has revealed Himself to us in three ways:
- God is revealed in Creation (Romans 1:18-20; Psalm 19)
- God is revealed in Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- God is revealed in Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3, 14; 3:16)
I realize that we have not spent any time at all up to this point proving that the Bible is true in what it says about God. Much of this will be addressed in the forthcoming lessons. The point here is if the Bible is right about God then all other faiths are wrong. We should never settle for worshipping a lie. Christianity is often critiqued in our culture for being exclusive. In that the critics are right. The Bible teaches that there is no God but the Triune God of Scripture. According to the law of non-contradiction there cannot be multiple faiths claiming exclusivity. We have the witness of creation shouting to us that there is a creator (more on that next lesson.) This God has revealed Himself to us and he has done so in the Bible.
We do not have to convince or persuade people that God exists. Christians are called to bear witness for the truth and the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15.) God has promised that His Holy Spirit will convict and convert as He did for us. Praise Him.
God bless.

THE coalition's pursuit of competition in healthcare may have grabbed the headlines, but it was the Ministry of Justice that had made the most headway. In 2011, its Competition Strategy set out a "guiding principle" that competition will apply to all services not bound to the public sector by statute. After two decades of limited competition, the message was clear: the vast majority of prisons, probation and rehabilitation services would be delivered by a range of providers – public, private and charitable – competing to deliver a better, cheaper service.
Sadly, it was not to be. Two years on, the Ministry of Justice has completed a U-turn far greater than the coalition's retreat on extending competition in the NHS. At the end of 2012, ministers announced plans to overturn two decades of privately-run prisons in favour of a "new approach". The role of companies will be limited to small contracts for rehabilitation and ancillary services, while the public sector will subjected to an "efficiency benchmark" instead. HMP Wolds, a privately-run prison, was handed back to the public sector, and the competition processes for three others were suspended.
But the evidence points towards the need for more competition, not less. New Reform analysis of Ministry of Justice figures shows that companies are better at running prisons than the public sector. Private prisons are more effective at preventing prisoners from committing crimes after they leave, and they perform better than comparable public sector institutions on most official performance measures. This is about cost as well as quality: the first prison to be transferred from the public sector to the private sector, HMP Birmingham, is being run £8m a year cheaper under its new management.
The innovations range from smart tweaks to cultural transformation. Companies have pioneered new technologies, like electronic cell locking to improve security, or self-service kiosks to give inmates a greater sense of responsibility in preparation for their release. Private sector ways of working have transformed an outdated employment culture and traditionally hostile staff-prisoner relations. In privately-run prisons, officers do not carry batons or have power of arrest, and managers can use flexible staffing arrangements to improve rehabilitation and meet prisons' needs.
At Doncaster Prison, the private company Serco has used its business experience to drive partnerships with local charities and employers to prevent prisoners committing crimes when they leave the prison gates. Over 92 per cent of prisoners are released to suitable accommodation, while 23 per cent – double the national target – are released into employment or training. In 2011, Serco's prison director at Doncaster John Biggin was named The Guardian's Public Servant of the Year.
Better numbers are matched by academic evaluation: a major longitudinal study by Cambridge academics recently found that privately managed prisons had more positive staff-prisoner relationships, better internal prison cultures, and more satisfied workers.
The threat of competition has also made the public sector raise its game. In 2003, the National Audit Office found that "competition has been important within the prison system for improving both management and conditions for prisoners." More recently, evidence of the positive impact of competition has come from an unlikely source: public sector prison managers. In 2011, a major survey of senior prison leaders found overwhelming recognition of the value of competition. One respondent said: "I don't think the improvements we've seen in the Prison Service in delivery and outputs would have happened without the threat of privatisation, and without the reality of privatisation, because we wouldn't have done it ourselves. There would've been no incentive."
The government has argued that there has been no U-turn. Yet ministers' own announcements make clear that competition will be limited to a small number of specific services. The prison workforce, which accounts for over 70 per cent of costs, will remain in the public sector, despite there being no statutory requirement for it to do so. It is bewildering that the government has backtracked on such a successful policy that commands cross-party support. There was no public uproar demanding a retreat from two decades of successful policy. Far from reaping the rewards of reform, ministers are throwing in the towel after the fight has been won.

This is a story about two regular men, living in a world quite similar to the one in which your currently find yourself. Actually, only one of them is a man, Jordan Zingerman, a mid 50's shy pencil pusher at a mortgage risk-management firm with no discernible qualities or notable skills. Jordan was well-intentioned, while he didn't excel at his work, he made a living, and for the most part was content with living out his regular suburban life, perhaps one day starting a family with fiancé Charlene, who he loved dearly.
The person in the story isn't really a man, at least not in the sense he wishes he was, you see, Collin Boulder was only 17, a social outcast who was still struggling, as many of us do throughout our high school years, to find a social stance among his peers. While Collin was very friendly, he turned people off with his edgy attire; a long black trench coat adorned with patches, and dyed jet black hair that was paired with various tattoos and piercings. While ] never set out to alienate himself, he was simply showing the world who he was, molding his identity, unfortunately in the high school world, people who find themselves out of the social circle often never make the connections they wish they could.
Now Collin and Jordan have never met, I mean, why would they, they were completely different ages and shared almost no similar hobbies or interests. Honestly, they only connection between the two was the relatively close proximity of their homes.
Recently Jordan had heard news of break ins, and as a major advocate of public safety and prominent member of the neighborhood watch, he was obviously concerned about the safety and integrity of his community and needless to stay, was a bit on edge.
Collin had also heard about the recent crime spree, of course he had, he knew the people who did, they had bragged at school all week about how easy it was to maneuver around local subdivisions and quickly make off with select valuables.
While Collin was certainly intrigued by the instant gratification provided by stealing, his ethics and morality eventually got the best of him and he quickly decided that while he wouldn't snitch on his peers, he would also avoid participating in any sort of crime, because regardless of his appearance, it just wasn't his type of thing.
One evening, Jordan was particularly on edge, he'd just gotten in a petty argument with Charlene and he knew it was his fault, sometimes he just didn't know when to stop, Jordan always seemed to need to have the last word.
In attempt to be the bigger man, Jordan avoided further confrontation by stepping outside on the porch and having a cigarette. He was trying to cut back, but now seemed as good a time as any to cheat a little bit, he really needed to relax.
On the same evening, Collin was experiencing the same luck as Jordan. He had tried to make his way into a house party but was promptly kicked out and mercilessly ridiculed for his attire. Collin, who was intelligent, but still very naïve, just couldn't understand how other people could be so hateful. He contemplated changing the way he dressed, getting rid of the trench coat, wearing more colorful, "hip" clothing, but he decided it wasn't worth sacrificing who he was to fit in. Besides, it was flat-out wrong to judge people based on their appearance, why couldn't people see Collin was actually a really cool, fun guy and not some goth trench coat loser? Were people really that superficial? How could they jump to conclusions based solely on his appearance? Collin finally understood all those history classes, he knew what it was like to be profiled, and it filled him with anger and resentment.
Perhaps if everyone already thought he was some crazy kid in the trench coat then he would actually show up at school and give them the crazy, fucked up kid they seemed to want him to be. But Collin just didn't have it in him, he knew the anger would pass, it always did, he was no stranger to loneliness and at this point almost felt more comfortable in isolation than around his classmates.
Jordan, still calming his nerves with nicotine and tobacco, keeps a watchful on his front porch, he's on edge, ready to snap at the first sign of disrespect. This isn't like him, but if one person could get under his skin, it was Charlene.
Wait, what the hell is this? Jordan spots a lone figure walking down the road swiftly, he can't make out the face of the ominous figure because of his large hooded coat, but he's moving at a pace that concerns Jordan.
Jordan, not wanting to jump to conclusions, grabs his cell phone and dials 911.
"Hey, not to alarm you, but I'm out here on Waterfront Drive and I see a suspicious hooded figure walking down the street, in fact he's almost running. I feel like I should follow him, he looks like he's up to something."
While the 911 receptionist is patient, understanding and thankful for Mr. Zingerman's concern, she assures him that patrolling officers will cruise the area and scope out the scene. If anything was wrong, they'd take care of it and Mr. Zingerman should just go back inside and relax with his family.
Now Jordan had, had enough. Relax? There were children and families in this neighborhood, multiple news stories were going around about break in's, and he was supposed to just relax and let the police handle it?
"If the police could handle it, why did the problem even exist in the first place? There's a reason I'm on neighborhood watch and that's so I can stop the crimes before the police even have to get out here. This time, I'm going to stop the problem before it starts, this time they won't just let him get away."
Although he was on the brink of becoming enraged, Zingerman thought it was only right to do his due diligence as a concerned member of the community and he called the police again.
As before, Mr. Zingerman was assured that any problems would be handled by law enforcement and that he stop worrying.
Jordan couldn't believe the indifference, the disrespect, this was ludicrous. Finally Jordan decided, this time, no crimes were going to happen on his watch, and he quickly made his way to grab his revolver and check out the scene.
Collin, who is now on the brink of tears, stops by a local convenience store, like many people, candy and pop was always a good pick me up when he was feeling down.
Just his luck, as Collin leaves the store with candy and beverage in hand, the rain starts to pour. "Hey, it's Florida" Collin thinks to himself as he puts on his hood and strides through the downpour back to his home.
As he turns the corner on to his street, Collin sees a man in a distance, not being one for confrontation, Collin becomes nervous and weary of the man in the distance, when suddenly, the man calls out to Collin.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing around here? Don't you know walking around like that makes you look like a criminal?" Mr. Zingerman is intimidating, but Collin knows he's not doing anything wrong, so he tries to calm the man down.
Collin explains that he's only wearing the hood because of the rain and apologizes if he frightened or startled Mr. Zingerman, he told him he knew about the break ins and commended him for protecting the community.
Collin, in an attempt at a friendly gesture, reaches his hand out to shake Mr. Zingerman's, who instantly jumps back from the boy and fires off 4 rounds.
"He attacked me, help, this boy just crazy and tried to attack me."
Neighbors come pouring out to the street, some from the noise of the shots, some out of pure curiosity from the loud and frightened screaming of Mr. Zingerman.
Bobby Jones, a friend of Jordan's and fellow leader of the neighborhood watch rushes over to the crowd.
"Everything alright Jordan, what the hell happened here, did this boy attack you?"
Mr. Zingerman, now looking around at the faces of his neighbors who are all eagerly anticipating his answer becomes increasingly nervous.
"Well, he had that big trench coat on, and he started coming at me, and you all heard that Columbine stuff, I didn't know what was gonna' happen, I had to stand my ground, you all believe me right?"
The crowd has a mixed reaction as patrol cars finally pull up to the scene and retrieve information from all the parties involved.
"Well Mr. Zingerman, if that will be all, you can be on your way, my office will contact you if you have any further questions" says Lieutenant Bennett, who watches as young Collin is put on a stretcher and put into an ambulance.
"We know that these kids out here can be dangerous, but you did the right thing by standing your ground and defending yourself."
As the Boulder family got news of the death of their son, they were all paralyzed with fear, Jordan was a nice, kind boy, how could he have attacked someone unprovoked.
"I'm sorry, but your boy shouldn't have been walking around so suspiciously, people have the right to defend themselves ma'am," the officer tells Ms. Boulder.
If you have any questions about the death of your son, make sure to contact the police department and we'll take a look, have a nice day.
This is a fictional story that's somehow happening in real life as we speak. Trayvon Martin was killed for no reason then an appearance. In this case he was black, but it could happen to a kid with dyed hair, a trench coat and tattoos. It could happen to anyone who decides to express themselves in a manner others disapprove of.
This is not justice and this is not the America I thought I lived in. Please share this story as a message of hope and justice for the ruthless and pointless murder of a young child.
Have a wonderful day, and pray for the Martin family and anybody else who has had to endure the kind of unimaginable pain and injustice they've had to do on a national stage.

There's a lot in a name. A name communicates much information, just like a picture (we all know the saying). Have you ever felt as though someone's name just seems to fit them? Almost as if they either grew into their name, or their parents just had uncanny foresight into their child's personality.
I recognize the importance of a name. Thus, I take the job of naming very seriously.
Once Upon a Name
It was easy with Mildred. She was mine for over a year before it was official. All of a sudden, I realized that I loved her and I wanted to honor all that we had been through together. Once I made the decision to provide her with a name, Mildred just came to me. There is no inspiring story behind it. Mildred just made me think of a proper British accent. Is Mildred even a British name? I do not know. Not the point. Once I named her, I even helped Jason name his. Once I thought of Mildred, somehow Boris just seemed to fit. Mildred & Boris. It worked.
Time for a New Name
Upon deciding that we also "needed" some mountain bikes, I instantly went into thinking about what I would name her. I wanted it to be meaningful this time. I wanted there to be a reason I named her what I did. Lots of different ideas flowed through my head. Then we found our bikes online and purchased them. Now I knew what she would look like, so some names were scratched off the list and others were added. Then she arrived, and was a different shade of red than I expected, so some names, again, were removed and added.
But they were just ideas. The name had to feel right while I rode her. It had to sound right when I said it. Only one name passed the test.
Without Further Ado…
So here it is. Bloggers, please meet my new mountain bike:
**** Caprica Six ****
Yes, Caprica Six as in from Battlestar Galactica (a.k.a., the best show ever made). And why Caprica Six? Because she's bad ass. And I like bad ass women. They fucking inspire me.
Battlestar was fresh on my mind because Jason and I recently watched it for the very first time. Thanks to Netflix, we could barely work or do anything. We just needed to see what happened next! Who were the cylons? Would they find Earth? Who was the last cylon? Why don't I hate Gaius Baltar?! The agony! Best show I've ever watched, and Jason agrees. One (of many) reasons I love this show is because of all the amazing strong women.
It eventually boiled down to a battle royale between Starbuck and Six. Starbuck was pretty freaking awesome in BSG. And as a bonus pack of awesome, the original Starbuck was a man! So super kudos that in this series Starbuck was a woman!
But, Caprica Six won because I just didn't like saying Starbuck. Didn't feel right. Besides, the storyline between Six and Baltar ended up being my favorite, and the most intriguing.
And just THINKING about this scene…still gives me chills and just about brings a tear to my eye.
If you stuck around this long, and didn't just roll your eyes and close out, then I thank you. I can't wait to post more about my adventures with Caprica Six. I guess I should post a picture of my bike now…
So say we all!

Texas hurricane evacuation plans call for partnership with oil companies
| 06.27.2007 | 09:07:12 | Views: 3321 | ID:
June 27 '07: When hurricanes threaten Texas coastal communities, evacuations are slowed when motorists run out of gas, only to find that fuel supplies are limited along the designated evacuation routes. To help mitigate gas shortages, Texas Governor Rick Perry implemented a Task Force on Evacuation, Transportation, and Logistics which was developed with the partnership of oil companies Shell, Citgo, Chevron, Valero, ConocoPhilips, Exxon Mobil and Marathon, the Associated Press reported.
The Task Force is supervised by former Shell Oil Co. President and CEO Jack E. Little who told the AP that in the state's 200-page evacuation plans, there was no contingency for fuel shortages. "What we know now is there was no fuel plan," Little said. "Every company was on their own. The problem arose when the voluntary evacuation was overlaid on top of the mandatory evacuation and the roads were clogged."Among the "benchmarks" the task force set included: preposition of fully-loaded fuel trucks will help to distribute gasoline before, during and after the evacuation; fuel distribution will move inland two days before storms land; gas stations will no operate with less than half or less fuel in their tanks; highway messaging will alert motorists during hurricane season that they should keep their cars with more than half a tank. Their will not be free fuel during evacuations however. Furthermore, Scott Alley, the Texas Department of Transportation's emergency management coordinator told the AP, "Emergency-assistance vehicles will only give fuel to those who have run out of fuel."

The U.S. federal government's criminal case against Atlanta Falcons quarterback star Michael Vick for his purported involvement in the most recent dog fighting scandal is heating up as ever. At the same time, the Leviathan, which has confiscated 54 pit bulls that were allegedly used in the dog fighting, is holding them as evidence to be used against Vick and the other three men suspected of ties to the operation.
According to the New York Times, Vick and the other three men -- Tony Taylor, Purnell A. Peace, and Quanis L. Phillips -- plead not guilty last week "to charges related to a dogfighting operation that the authorities said was called Bad Newz Kennels."
Here's an excerpt of the Times today:
On Monday, Taylor pleaded guilty and agreed to help prosecutors make their case. He signed a 13-page statement confirming much of what the government stated when it indicted the four men July 17. The 18-page indictment uses graphic detail in describing the animal cruelty the men are accused of. It states that during a search of Vick's property in Surry County in April, 54 pit bulls were recovered, along with a so-called rape stand used to hold dogs for mating, and a treadmill modified for dogs.
More charges are expected in the case, and a trial has been scheduled for November. Vick, the star quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, has been suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.
Now I'm the last person in the world to endorse or give any moral, financial, and emotional support to any underground operation that employs dogs to attack and kill other dogs as a sport and for entertainment. I think it is a disgusting and terrible practice to begin with. But do these men really deserve jail time for a "crime" that did not involve violence against "victims" in any way, especially when those "victims" were dogs and not humans?
The collectivists are using laws against animal cruelty to prosecute a group of individuals who used animals in a sport that society on the whole has otherwise condemned and utterly rejected. The laws, while written with the best of intentions in mind, are being used to protect "victims" where there are none. Victims only apply to humans, not animals.
And how is this any different from cockfighting? Cockfighting is a sport that has been made illegal in many states, although it was a strong, common practice in the United States from the late 1700s to most of the 20th century. Even the Founders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were avid fans of cockfighting. However, over time, the sport has been, on a one-by-one basis, illegalized at the state level, with Louisiana being the last state to ban the event.
It is interesting to note that dog fighting had once been a legal practice from the 15th century to the early part of the 20 century, although in recent decades, it has been outlawed in many states due to society's increasing contempt for and opposition to animal cruelty. However, the biggest reason for the bans is the rise of radical leftist-socialist organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
The cardinal legal argument against dog fighting (and even cockfighting) by PETA, the Humane Society, and other organizations like them is that it is wrong to harm animals for the purpose of providing a blood sport for people who desire that form of entertainment. But the real legal argument I get from these groups is that animals who are "harmed" and "tortured" by those involved in the practice are "victims" of violent crimes aggressed against them.
The reason for this mentality is that animals are viewed by PETA, HSUS, and other shrill "animal rights" organizations is that animals have "rights" comparable to humans, which is false. Animals do not have rights. They are neither capable of possessing rights nor have the need for them to begin with. What is the rationale for this argument, you ask? It is simple for three distinct reasons:
- Animals do not have and are not capable of having a system of morality. Animals have no need for morality. They neither have the competence nor the will to possess nor even the understanding of the concept of morality. Morality means nothing to them. That is what distinguishes humans from animals. We humans are capable of having a system of morality, whereas animals do not. Animals, from a utilitarian and ethical standpoint, are amoral. Humans can be either moral or immoral ("immoral" meaning having a set of bad moral principles), but at least they have a system of morality that strings together their ideas of right and wrong. Animals, on the other hand, simply lack that ability.
It goes further than that. Animals have no love for morality. They will kill other forms of species to insure their own survival, even at the expense of those species. A shark, for example, kills a school of fish for food because it is in their nature to kill and is necessary for their survival. Have sharks committed the "crime of murder" against these fish? Of course not. If one were to suggest such a thing, one would receive looks and disgust from animal lovers and other groups of people who would find such a statement ridiculous and laughable on its face. It is all simply part and parcel of the entire food chain. Because they kill other forms of species for that reason, they have no respect for individual rights - a component which is necessary for a species to control their environment that would enable them to control their own lives without doing harm to other species. Ascribing the same rights to animals who lack a moral center and are, by nature's design, functioning to preserve their order within the animal kingdom is nothing more than a mistake, not to mention a joke. To place animals above humans as if animals are higher and better than humans is not only vulgar and offensive, but also illogical and ridiculous. The fact that there is no proof that animals possess such a system goes without saying.
- Because animals have no ability to possess morality, they also neither possess nor believe in the ability of individual rights and free will, unlike their human counterparts. Humans are capable of these things, but animals do not. They have no need for free will and individual rights, since they are governed by the laws of nature and the need to procreate and survive. Human beings are capable of exercising those rights, whereas animals do not. And because they have no desire for free will and indvidualism, they see themselves as an inherent collective for the greater good of their species.
- Because animals have no ability to recognize and respect individual rights and free will, that, in turn, is what makes animals the property of humans. Since animals have no morals and the ability to exercise individual rights and free will, they are, in the eyes of natural law, man's property to do with what he pleases. Since the marketplace allows me to purchase an animal and possess it to do with what I will to it, I can keep it as a pet, sell it in a free market as either a pet or food, or kill it to eat it for my own survival. Since private property rights means that I have the moral and natural right to use the animal any way I see fit, it is my property; therefore, it is my right to do what I want to do to it. To remove a man's ability to protect and preserve his private property and ascribe rights to that property based on some flimsy assumption that an animal is the equivalent of a man is to destroy a man's right to acquire and earn the fruits of his labor and to destroy his ability to engage in freedom of exchange. Animals have no ability to object to them being property, since they neither possess the faculties of a man nor the ability to reason like a human to begin with.
That is not to say that we should condone abuse of an animal or harm to them for no reason at all. It is society's interests to boycott businesses that support such practices and ostracize those who favor them.
When all is said and done, the Michael Vick case will show that it is not an issue of "victimization" that is the problem. It is the violation of private property rights and the inaccurate relegation of morality, individual rights, and free will to a set of species that are not capable of fathoming these concepts at all.
