Woodrow Wilson advocated states' rights as part of his progressive philosphy. In his book Constitutional Government in the United States, first published in 1908 and still considered a classic in the political science field, Wilson argues for the importance of the states. The model of centralized federal authority was a product of the two Roosevelts, not of Wilson, despite his inadvertent contribution by creating both the income tax and the Federal Reserve Bank. Theodore Roosevelt, the most statist of all of our presidents, argued for integration of government and business. Franklin Roosevelt extended state power in numerous areas, most importantly by abolishing the gold standard.
Despite the twentieth century's centralization of power, Wilson understood the importance of local government to community. Excessive centralizaton overlooks the importance of community and so is anti-democratic. Since the primary thrust of the New Deal was such centralization, it was at odds with the progressive era's emphasis on democracy, or at least Wilson's version of it.
Wilson writes (pp. 50-1):
"Not only are the separate and independent powers of the states based upon real economic and social differences between section and section of an enormous country, differences which necessitate adaptations of law and of administrative policy such as only local authorities acting in real independence can intelligently effect; but the states are our great and permanent contrbiution to constitutional development. I call them a great contribution because they have given to the understandings upon which constitutional government is based an intimacy and detail, an adjustment to local circumstances, a national diversity, an immediate adaptation to the variety of the people themselves, such as a little country may perhaps dispense with but a great continent cannot...They have furnished us with an ideal means of integrating a vast and various population, adapting law to changing and temporary conditions, modulating development and permanently securing each item of progress. They have been an incomparable means of sensitive adjustment between popular thought and governmental method, and may yet afford the world itself the model of federation and liberty it may in God's providence come to seek...Constitutional government can exist only where there is actual community of interest and of purpose, and cannot, if it be also self-government, express the life of any body of people that does not consitute a veritable community. Are the United States a community? In some things yes, in most things no. How impossible it is to generalize about the United States."
Big business has likely pressed for centralization, and it is likely in the interest of big business to have consistent regulation and policy across the states. But big business has exited the nation. Manufacturing has moved to Asia and Mexico. The remaining large firms often do not pay high wages. Do the American people owe a favor to the firms that have not been interested in supporting them? Moreover, the problems that confronted big business in decades past have been modified, reduced and eliminated by technology. The coordination of separate regulatory, accounting and legal systems today is far from the problem that it was in the 1930s and 1940s. Integrated computer systems make compliance across diverse regulatory systems simple. Thus, large firms will suffer little from decentralization. Moreover, given the globalization of business and the eagerness with which firms have entered foreign countries with diverse regulatory systems, it is difficult to understand why adding more diversity will pose much of a problem to them, or given the eagerness with which firms have adjusted to diverse regulatory systems they can properly claim that they are an impediment here in the United States.

Some horrific news today from South Africa as owner operators of several well known dive shops were confronted with the sight of tons of dead sharks this week.
South Africa's shark tourism is on the front lines in the ongoing issue of sustainable shark tourism vs shark meat and raw product use:
Eco-tourists who dive with sharks off Miller's Point are up in arms after being confronted by the sight of fishermen offloading tons of dead sharks from boats awash with blood.
Many of the divers are international tourists who travel to South Africa specially to see sharks, which have been wiped out in other parts of the world.
But Tony Trimmel of the Kalk Bay Boat Owners' Association said commercial fishermen targeted sharks only when lucrative species like yellowtail and snoek were unavailable.
"They don't target sharks on a daily basis-but they have to make a living."
Editors Note: Worldwide this is an ongoing problem with use groups who both have the right to either fish or interact with sharks. In other areas of South Africa the demands for shark fins and meat is so high that fishermen are taking sharks from Marine Protected Areas.
Like we said many months ago "It's a race between the raw product use of sharks and sustainable tourism". That's the Rock and the Hard place.

Sink the boats. I know it sounds unbelievable, but there may be no more time left for reasoned dialogue.
These guys readily admit they'll catch anything once they can't find anymore of their target animals - this is an admission of wanton rape of the seas, and they need to have their boats taken from them so they cannot continue.
Learn a new trade. I have NO sympathy for this. None.

When I think of white I think of peace, maybe because my favorite white, is snow-so peaceful. I always feel very calm when I see white. I know it is hard for you to believe that someone like me who loves color would like -white. This week I am praying for peace and I have faith that it is just around the corner ......

Beach or Bust....
Lets go on vacation is a brain child of mommyholly. I can't wait to see where everyone goes.... But for me - I dream of Destin...The sound of waves.....
For the last 2 years my family all 16 -20 of us have gone to Destin, Florida for a week of togetherness, Laying in the sun, playing in the sand, riding bicylces, taking early morning walks on the beach, eating the greatest food around - cooked by us, and watching the waves hit the shore on the prettiest beach in the world! This year we do not get to go with the coming of baby ya-ya and a wedding to plan we are not making our annual trip. So today I am thinking of sitting on that beach listening to the waves coming in while reading a great book. Hope you enjoy and I HIGHLY recommend the trip to anyone.

Deep in the Heart of Texas....
Will and Colby -two of the cooks
Whew...what a weekend! Our family welcomed home Wyatt from Afghanistan this weekend. He got back to the states 2 weeks ago-but back to Big A this weekend. We ALL got together to welcome him back to Texas. It was a great weekend of visiting, watching videos and looking at pictures and of course Eating.
Each year my nephew Will and friends put on a real life-Cowboy cookoff. I have never seen so much grillin and meat in one place in my life! We had goat, brisket, venison and of course the roasted pig. These young men and a few older ones do know how to cook. It is just how I picture being on a wagon train and eating on the chuck wagon in the old West. The funny thing is none of these guys are cowboys in real life. They are lawyers, graduate students, Realtors and so forth. It is a fun escape for these guys and they have one thing in common-they love to grill. Its great eating, visiting and listening to good ole Texas music and Country living.

THE Dress...
There are many dresses in a girls life -one must have a dress for every special occasion- baby dedication,first day of school,Ballet recital, Easter dress ,Prom dress,sorority dresses and the list goes on. But THE most important dress is THE Wedding Dress. I spent the last 2 days on a search for THE dress. As you know my oldest niece Sarah is getting married in October. So off the girls in our family went to find THE dress.Being the sure minded and know what I want girl Sarah had made a design board of dresses she liked and wanted to see in person and try on. There was one that really caught her fancy and wanted to find it most of all. We looked the first day and felt like we were getting no where fast. Feeling a little down the second day off we went saying little prayers all the way, to find a store named -LuLu's.I think from the first moment of walking in the door we all felt at home, could be because it was in a wonderful old cottage in down town Dallas(of all places).Once again we started the search. No lace, No organza, No sparkles, No sleeves, No poofs - all she wanted was a simply wonderful, beautiful dress that made her feel like a gorgeous Bride.The second dress she tried on was a dress that looked very familiar to her but she was not sure. We could hear her excitement as she got into her dress and as she walked out -I knew this was THE dress -and yes it was on her design board and was her favorite.Sarah had found THE dress of her dreams. WE ALL got goose bumps and yes a few tears came to the baby blues. I had seen this little girl in a lot of dresses in her life but NEVER this beautiful of one. I was a proud Aunt, I could not look at sister Brenda because I knew we would loose it. We all just kinda soaked it in a while and then we squealed because Sarah had found THE dress to marry the love of her life.The ladies of the store did the cutest thing as we were getting ready to leave -they played the Wedding march and blew bubbles all over her- smiles were all around and I do believe I had never seen Sarah look so happy and a little relieved...Dreaming of the day in October when she gets to walk down the Aisle in her simply wonderful dress and marry her Major Joe. You will just have to wait till then to see her in THE dress.

Sewing for baby Ya Ya...
I have been doing a little sewing for the baby. I covered the bassinett and repainted it. Josh slept in this basinett when he was a baby - and now his baby will use it. I bought it at a second hand store in Germany where Josh was born. I just love it and the memories that go with it. May it cradle our baby with sweet dreams. I have made several flannel blankets ( I guess I think it might get cold) and of course some burp cloths. I have had a great time sewing and thinking about the little one coming to our family. I got to feel it kicking inside Erica last weekend - what joy this Grandma felt.

Get crackin'!
It's time for me to get crackin' on blogging if I'm going to have one! I'm proud to report I've been sewing/quilting a little each day - even if it's just 15 minutes of ironing. I even have a completed UFO! Now, reader beware - I've been working on old and I mean OLD UFOs since I joined Stashbusters. These are going to be simpler quilts that may not appeal to the more artistic quilter. Like this one is at least 5 maybe 6 years old that I did as a shop sample and am just now getting the binding on. I've had it back from the Long Arm Quilter for probably 3 years! It's a Turning Twenty that was done to showcase a line of Jinny Beyer fabrics. As this little guy LOVES to have his picture taken and was insistent I take a photo of him "eating my cookie" - I did! :-)

I have returned! What a whirlwind past 12 weeks it has been! Brilliant new job. New car. The Panthers are ruling the roost. I have fallen in love with beef chuck for braising, kabocha squash for roasting and drunken noodles for a quick, easy meal. I prepared these for the first time a few weeks back and we went wild. I can now stuff and roast a chicken with my eyes closed. No matter how many dishes I prepare, my husband's favorite meal is still the national dish from South Africa, bobotie and he makes a mean sandwich. On Ezekiel toast, of course. In other news, I went from being a girlfriend (of almost five years!!) to a fiancé to a wife in exactly forty days. I planned the wedding of Elizabeth's dreams in just 32 harried albeit exciting days. Our wedding weekend was as my mother calls it, "just perfect". Swollen with love to boot I would like to add! Exactly five days after saying our vows, we took the Big Apple by storm. I owe you a post about where all we ate. I keep a running list of where to nosh in New York City so if you are in need of inspiration, you let me know.
Ecstatically, we slid into the holiday season as husband and wife. Everyone told us what a special time it would be. I must admit, I scoffed merely thinking it would be another day and yet another holiday. How sorely mistaken I was. Being newlyweds over the holidays gleamed a most charming brilliance. We shared our first Christmas as husband and wife. It was hot as Hades here in the Queen City. Over coffees, we fed the fish in Matthew's father's koi pond. This holiday season was one of numerous firsts. We decorated our first tree together as newlyweds. We gave our first gifts as husband and wife. I sent out our first holiday card. It was all quite sentimental but you get the picture. On Boxing Day, we hopped on a plane bound for five days in the Big Easy. I called it our first honeymoon. My plan is for 2016 to bring a year of honeymoons. We gorged on oysters and barbecue shrimp like kings, gallivanted like queens, came, saw and conquered and returned home six pounds heavier and needing a vacation from our vacation. I will document this gastronomic adventure in the coming days. In short, 2015 was very, very good to me and I am beyond excited for what 2016 holds.
Like most, the return to reality on Monday was a twinge ugly. Firstly, I was excited to return to work, the opportunities on the horizon as well as seeing my colleagues. I could take a pass on the rest. First things first. I thought our fire alarm was going off when my iPhone began to sing at 5.30 am this past Monday morning. Like most, I nursed coffees throughout the day and come sunset, was eager to return home. Like many, I hit the gym en route to my house. It was slammed and I had to resort to 35 minutes on the exercise bike. You may say exercise is exercise but unless I am on the beach riding against the wind or sweating through a FlyWheel class, the exercise bike at the gym doesn't exactly feel like physical exertion to me. Nevertheless, I cautiously pedaled along while regularly glancing over my shoulder for an open treadmill. I am committed to continuing to run, which is something I slid back into exactly six weeks before I got engaged.
A dear friend has turned me onto podcasts and they have transformed my exercise regimen. Heck, they have even infused pleasure into my 100 mile daily commute. I now run through my neighborhood listening to interviews compliments of WTF and like most, in just a day have grown addicted to Serial. In the food department, we are eating clean and purging. I must admit, the elimination of almost everything (caffeine and booze excluded) feels pretty good. With committed discipline and exuberant excitement, I am pouring over brilliant articles in this month's Bon Appetit. I already made the spicy chicken stock with ginger, basil, cilantro and bok choy. As I slurp, I am eagerly awaiting Gwyneth Paltrow's famous cleanse tutorial. Recipe coming soon. I also created a new topping for our bison or vegan shepherd's pie. Sweet potato and cauliflower. You steam, throw in the food processor, add coconut milk, nutmeg, puree and enjoy. This past Sunday, I reverted to our tradition of roasting beets for the week.
We have begun to deliberate about where to go on our foreign honeymoon. Matthew is keen on a cruise. Last summer we sailed the Baltic and it was amazing. We fell in love with Copenhagen, known by many as the happiest place on the planet. Did you know that here and in Amsterdam, 60% of the population uses bikes on a daily basis. Bikes outnumber people and traffic is becoming an issue. I wish we had this same scenario here in Charlotte. We have a beautiful carbon fiber bike, gift from my father who was once Mr. Carbon Fiber. Never mind owning a helmet, I am terrified to ride it. What with distracted drivers, texting and manipulating vehicles, it is not a good idea. Perhaps 2016 will bring easier riding for bike riders in our city. As for a holiday, I am keen on Spain. We went as a family once and I used to travel there regularly when I lived in Germany. Matthew has never been. The Big Smoke (London) is also calling our name. My South African cousins live there and I figure we could do a nice mix of McQueen time as well as a pair of nights with Marriott points in the city. Stay tuned.
As of late, I have been preparing multiple variations of the below. You can literally take anything fresh or tired, throw into the pot and produce a healthy, clean, wondrous bowl of soup. Strategic comfort food at its very best. Of course, preparing your own chicken stock is the way to go and if you have time on a Sunday, I encourage manipulating this recipe. For those of us, who are finding spare time to be a challenge, using ready made stock (low sodium, organic variety) is just as scrumptious. Mix and match your vegetables. We love turnips; they are a lovely potato substitute. Add a Yukon Gold or a sweet potato. Add a cup or two of beans you have soaked the night before. Like artichoke hearts? Go for it. Quite simply, use whatever is on hand. Change it around the next time for an entirely different meal. Let me know what you think of the below and until then, happy detoxing and halcyon slurping.
Kitchen Sink Soup
8 cups of organic, low sodium chicken stock
2 TBS coconut oil - extra virgin olive oil is also okay
1 onion - chopped
Lots of fresh chopped garlic (2 or more cloves)
3 inch knob of fresh ginger - peeled and chopped
1 head of celery - chopped
1 knob of fennel - chopped
1 leek - chopped
4 carrots - chopped
1 cup of corn
1 head of parsley - chopped
1 head of Swiss chard - you can also use kale, dandelion greens, mustard greens, collards
2 organic chicken breasts
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tsp star anise
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp pink pepper corns - optional but the color is lovely
1 TBS apple cider vinegar
1 lemon - sliced
How To
1. On low to medium heat, add your coconut oil, garlic, ginger and onion. Stir until golden in color and softening. Next, add your chopped celery, fennel, leek, carrots, corn, parsley and greens. Stir for around five minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Now add your two organic chicken breasts. Again, stir for around five minutes or until chicken begins to transform from pink to cooked.
2. Now add your stock, a pinch of kosher salt, star anise, red pepper flakes, pink pepper corns, apple cider vinegar and the sliced lemons. Bring to a boil, put a lid on and lower to a simmer for an hour. After sixty minutes, remove the chicken, shred it and add back to the pot. Season to taste (this means, add salt or pepper if necessary) and enjoy. Please note that your lemons will have 100% cooked and are 100% edible.
If you want to be a tad naughty, serve with a crusty loaf or freshly shaved Romano. Goat's milk feta lends a salty comfort. You can even put some freshly cut radishes or a scoop or two of avocado on top. The sky is truly the limit.

Pajarito Mountain: New Mexico Nordic
Pajarito Nordic Area
~5.5M total ski, Groomed, Free
J and I were eager to try out some new (to us) New Mexico-area XC trails, nearer to Santa Fe. With decent snow (compared to Colorado, especially), we had some good choices, but decided to check out the trails near Pajarito Ski Area above Los Alamos.
This trail system has free access, and is maintained quite well by the Southwest Nordic Ski club. The trails start from the far corner of the Pajarito Ski Area parking lot (note: the ski road is steep and requires 4WD or chains in any sort of inclimate weather). The main loop is about 5k out with gradual climbs to a gorgeous meadow, with a few parallel trails and loops along the way.
There was just enough snow (thanks to some of the shade fences) in the early parts to make it into the shade and higher elevations, and the snow was fantastic in the meadow. Before we started, we had met Tarik from the SW Nordic club, who gave us much-appreciated trail updates and recommendations, so we pretty much stayed to the better snow on the rightmost trails towards the meadow.
We reached the meadow with full sun and temperatures in the 40s, so we hung out for a bit and had lunch. With just a bit further of bushwhacking, we were able to peer into the Valles Caldera preserve (which does have its own set of ski trails in the winter). Above the meadow, albeit south-facing, are glorious glades of tall aspen and pine, on gentle, nearly rock-free hills. Right after a storm, this would be a fun place to practice turns.
On our way back, we ran into another woman who was training for "some ski race in Wisconsin." Of course, I knew she was talking about the Birkie, which is somewhere on my lifelong list as well. We talked about the poor snow conditions in Wisconsin, as well as the poor conditions in Colorado, as she has a Copper Pass and called it the "worst conditions she's seen in 40 years." At that moment, at least, it seemed New Mexico was the place to be.

I still didn't manage to do anything much. I have the same pink top, on it's pink fleecy halfway tacked. I know, I know, I've had plenty of time now to get it done, but that nasty habit work keeps getting in the way!
But my sister has been busy again. About a year ago she started making this yellow creation, for our youngest sister Neenee. Sorry it's not a great photo, I had real problems getting anything that wasn't completely washed away. Neenee choose the fabrics used here. The 5 inch charms were hand quilted to produce this pillow case.
While Moy and I are both saying, ''Not on my bed'' Neenee loves it.
Do you remember the pin wheel blocks Moy and I made using what she called her smeggie charms?
She did eventually take them home with her, where she continued to work alone. She got tired of pinwheels so varied the triangle theme a little and came up with this beauty.
Ironically, now she says she likes it! I've seen many bloggers saying they have used their most hated fabrics or colours in scrappy quilts, then later admitting to liking the result. I have to say I like it too. Moy is now in a quandry, she has seen me working with fleece and would like to try that, but is pulled toward the more traditional wadding and backing, and doesn't have a clue what to use for the binding! I'll keep you posted.
Right, I'm outta here, gone! I should have time to finish the tacking stitches in the pink creation before I have to be at work.
See ya! Bye!

LOVE your pumpkins. Came by your blog via Quilting Blogs and plan on making your blog a "regular". It feels so warm and comfy here.ReplyDelete
And, anyone that has pumpkins is perfect in my world...LOL
I love the pumpkins! What a great idea!ReplyDelete
Very nice! Love the wool texture on the pumpkins.ReplyDelete
So cute! Very smart of you ;o)ReplyDelete
Wool! Love those pumpkins. I don't think I have enough orange wool to do that project. I just recently bought a pattern for a wool pumpkin pin cushion. I do have enough for that project.ReplyDelete
How fun, love the stack. It is nice to have taller decorations to layer in a "tableau", isn't it? I just used a candle holder to raise a wool pumpkin on my entry desk. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
soooooooooooooo cute!!ReplyDelete

Have you ever heard about the plot to "X" Christ out of Christmas? And so the secular celebraters of this holy-day (holiday) decided they were going to start using "Xmas" instead of Christmas?
Well, it's not true.
We do have lots of people who celebrate Christmas without the "Christ" part. We also have lots of people who celebrate Christmas without the "mass" part. And yet still others who celebrate the "holidays" without really celebrating any particular "holy day" at all.
We have taken God out of government, schools and the workplace. Many have transformed Christ into some kind of subjective feeling or force. Even some "churches" have taken Christ out of their creed altogether.
But "Xmas" is not trying to "X" Christ out of Christmas. It actually is a legitimate abbreviation.
The "X" in Xmas is from the first letter of the Greek spelling for Christ (???????). You've probably seen a big XP symbol on the altar at mass before. That's a symbol for Christ (again, from the Greek word for Christ). In fact, Microsoft's Windows XP is also a reference to Jesus Christ.
Ok, I made that last part up. But the rest is true…"X" is just an abbreviation for Christ. And similar abbreviations have been in use by Christians since the beginning of Christianity.
Of course, Christians have also always only used such abbreviations when it was prudent or practical. "Xmas" is not considered a formal way to reference this holy celebration – just as most all abbreviations and shorthand are not appropriate in formal writing. And certainly, when referencing the King of Kings, it seems appropriate to maintain as much reverence and respect with His name whenever possible.
Personally, I don't use "Xmas" because most people in the world don't understand the connection between the symbol "X" and the name of Christ. And since our culture has largely forgotten the "Reason for the season," using unclear language only makes that problem worse. We need more clear reminders for what this season is all about – not less.
Have a merry Christmas!

Madewell Blouse // Ily Couture Cardigan // UO Jeans // Hudson Booties // J.Crew Clutch
I went through a phase a couple of summers ago where I would continuously paint my nails. I bought all sorts of nail polish and religiously painted both my fingernails and toenails. I don't know why I used to have so much time on my hands but nowadays it seems my toenails are usually chipped to no end. And my fingernails only ever get whatever color I've recently sampled at the store. All of that to say I am dreading spring because of the sandals that come with it and the subsequent time I'll have to spend painting at least those ten toenails. So for now I am more than happy about our (first) rain storm of the season and the booties I will continue to wear.

Enough of the News Corp Bashing
Did we see this type of uproar when the news media in France was shown to have created a murder of a Palestinian Child? The matter had to go before a judge and nobody was fired.
Did we see a march of people demanding mass terminations at CBS for the fake Bush National Guard Story. The producer and Dan Rather lost their jobs without congressional hearings and demands for cleaning house.
Were any of the journalists or academics who conspired via email to get Obama elected terminated? Not a single conspirator was terminated and the economic mess created by Obama lies literally at the feet of those who were completely incapable
of professionalism.

Hey, Officer Strutter, Dan Rather was set-up and responsible of failing in due diligence.

Your comments show that your true
motivation lies not with the facts but with desire to silence a news outlet that provides a point of view you don't like.
Dan defiance Rather caused his own demise by his arrogant defiance. Had he expressed sincere remorse he would still be on the job. Instead he defended his producer long after the sources were proven false.
It is interesting that the Duck who
was so brazenly defending the right to violate the sacred privacy
of the DSK accuser to defend a serial socialist sex predator now pulls a Linda Blair style reversal.
News Corp, unlike the Bolshevik Times or CBS, can deal with its own
matters. This scandal is less serious than media and university
clowns conspiring to alter elections. Nobody was fired for abusing the integrity of their job to elect the unqualified moron from the faculty lounge.
- -FJ said...
The duck thinks that this scandal approaches Woodward and Bernstein's revelations in the Watergate break-in... of course that the same paper (WP) published the CLASSIFIED Pentagon Paper documents tells us precesly where his "numbness" resides... above the neckline.
So much for all the "journalistic immunity" cr*p he's been spewing all these past years.

Errors Beakerkin? Hacking the phone of a missing schoolkid then deleting messages so as to hear more messages, thereby giving the families hope that she was still alive?
Hacking the phones of families of the 7/7 atrocities?
If those are errors, what the bloody hell are crimes in your world?
When the hacking scandal first came to light in 2006 a News of the World editor and a PI were jailed but Newscorp swore blind that those were isolated incidents.
The paper's editor resigned and was rapidly hired as the press secretary to tory leader David Cameron.
Now it seems that it was rife within the paper.Interestingly it was only last week that Newscorp stopped footing the bill for the legal fees of Glenn Mulcaire, the PI imprisoned for hacking members of the Royal household.
The scandal raised a wave of utter disgust here in the UK, a wave that had nothing to do with political stance.
Oh sorry you don't see the world in those terms
please delink me from this blog

As a small group of Harford County residents pleaded for more art teachers, school nurses and support for volunteer firefighters, the County Council president and county executive continued to lock heads in a power struggle.
The dispute pitting Council President Jeffrey D. Wilson, a Republican, and County Executive Eileen M. Rehrmann, a Democrat, has become a war of words as well as a question about spending power.
About 30 people spoke last night at the first of two public hearings on Rehrmann's $174.6 million operating budget for fiscal 1992. The spending plan, which represents a 4 percent cut from this year, does not include a property-tax increase but does include proposed increases in the recordation tax and water and sewer-use fees.

The positively gorgeous Litchfield National Park, less than two hours south-west of Darwin, has long lived in the shadow of its more famous Northern Territory cousin, Kakadu. But that might be about to change, as Litchfield has just nabbed the No. 1 spot on Australian Traveller magazine's "Top 100 Things to Do in Australia You've Never Heard of" list.
In some ways it would be a shame if too many people found out about it ... but on the other hand, it's probably right to spread the joy.
Catching the cool spray from Wangi Falls, we did the shortest photo op on record - not only because it was so HOT but because the water was so high that the threat of saltwater crocs moving into the fresh water was very real indeed. Yikes.

It was rough and rolly so we decided to press on to Deshaies.
I remember this from a song sung by Tom Paxton
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
It describes perfectly this development
We were greeted in the morning
Sunset was pretty good
Dizzy is getting more confident on the boom and bimini
the underside with a well timed pounce.
But he is also practicing his sleeping skills sometimes in the oddest of poses.
I mean can this be comfortable.
Not hard mind but definitely tapped.

Engaged in a political discussion in another forum. Sometimes, I find what I need to say has already been said, and said better, by someone else.
Today, I bring you the words of The Bard - I do not say Shakespeare because I am convinced Shakespeare did not pen these words, rather it was the work of a contemporary writer of the time who partnered with the businessman Shakespeare.
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
Brilliance in it's simplicity and brilliant in the statement therein.
It is, to my thinking, the antithesis of the modern politician to whom party affiliation and loyalty means more than doing the right thing, to whom lying and double-dealing is a matter of course. Voters publicly abhor this, yet they continue to return the same people to office over and over again.
Consider the sheep, widely believed to be the most stupid of the typical domesticated herd animal. This is a reason the Bible refers to people as sheep.
Yet, among the sheep, the occasional goat will wander. Where a sheep will stand and accept indignities, a goat will fight back. There is a reason curmudgeons are often called goats.
To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. - Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd.
Here's to hoping 2011 makes me more a goat than ever before.

These, it seems to me, are the big points of contention:
- How big a raise in the debt ceiling? How many steps? Boehner's committed to a two-step process, in which an immediate increase in the debt ceiling would be followed by another vote in 6 or so months that would require the passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment. Reid's bill would offer enough of an increase to carry the debt past 2012.
- Role of a Balanced Budget Amendment? Boehner requires Congressional passage of one before a "second tranche"; Reid doesn't.
- Where are the cuts? How frontloaded are they? This is perhaps the most flexible and opaque part of discussion (as projected saving/spending often is).
- Power of appointed committee? Both proposals would have expedited review, but Boehner's proposal demands a certain threshold of savings before the passage of the "second tranche."
I'm doubtful that Republican leadership (especially Boehner and McConnell) really want to see the debt-ceiling battle redux, so both Republicans and Democrats might have something to gain by avoiding a "second tranche" two-step. Both parties could split the difference perhaps by not allowing a second increase in the debt ceiling to take place without a vote on the recommendations of the savings committee; once the vote took place (yea or nay), the ceiling could be raised. Yes, that compromise would be mostly cosmetic.
A solid requirement that a BBA be passed before a second increase in the debt ceiling is likely a non-starter for a whole host of reasons. But demanding a vote on the BBA before a second debt-ceiling hike might be an appeasing gesture.
Negotiators might also find it helpful to demand concessions on issues beyond the budget in order to provide cover to various Republicans. Senate pledges to change Obamacare or light bulb bans or other conservative bette noires might help keep the support of House Republicans. Procedurally, some of those moves could be hard to execute, but they might provide a helpful avenue.
If Republicans want to reinforce the chances that an ultimate debt-ceiling reconciliation will pass, Senate Republicans might be wise to put forward a measure that gets more than the 7 or so Republican votes that would be needed to override a filibuster. A bill that comes out of the Senate as a RINO bill will have a harder time getting through the House (assuming any Senate-approved bill can avoid that stamp). Some Democratic defections in the Senate would likely make it easier for any compromise to be passed; it would increase the perception that the bill was "tough."
Update: The Hill has some specifics on one line of compromise: a two-step borrowing from the McConnell plan.

We went out for breakfast and found another dog-friendly café that served us scrambled eggs and tea. I was keen to investigate Brighton's famous ChoccyWoccyDooDah shop and café. Their chocolate cakes are very skillful and very kitsch.
Unfortunately their café was not dog-friendly so we didn't get to try their food. We visited Montezumas instead.
I was torn as to which British pudding chocolate bar to try and plumped for apple crumble, which barely saw the afternoon.
Elevenses was an excellent chocolate and pistachio tiffin that was vegan but certainly didn't taste "vegan". It tasted like heaven.
|Go on, please, just a nibble. Please. Oh, you cow.
Strangely we weren't that hungry for lunch, though Petra managed to eat some more eggs. We dragged our stomachs and Dylan to the beach for another blustery walk while we planned our next doggy holiday around Hotel du Vin's locations. Cheltenham is looking like our next stop as it will dovetail nicely with a baking course. Perhaps the chain should adopt the strapline "Hotel du Vin - Avec son Chien" My French isn't great but I think that even rhymes.
I am on the train home now, trying to look nonchalant while eating an 9" sachertorte on my way. I am very much looking forward to seeing my kitties as I miss them terribly when I am away. Dylan, however, remains unconvinced.

Universal Music chief blasts YouTube, MySpace over copyrights!
September 16, 2006
LOS ANGELES – Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris said the wildly popular Web sites YouTube and MySpace are violating copyright laws by allowing users to post music videos and other content involving Universal artists.
"We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars," Morris told investors Wednesday at a conference in Pasadena.
"How we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly," he said.
Universal's talks with YouTube Inc. have deteriorated and the recording giant is set to file a copyright infringement lawsuit against the San Mateo-based company if no agreement is reached by the end of the month, according to a person familiar with the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the confidential nature of the negotiations.
Universal's talks with News Corp.'s MySpace have been progressing, the person said.
A call to YouTube seeking comment was not immediately returned. MySpace declined to comment.
The remarks by Morris to Merrill Lynch investors were seen by some analysts as a signal that negotiations could be stalled between the world's largest record company and the two online sites, and that legal action was in the works.
"They're getting frustrated with how the negotiations are going," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group.
"To drive the negotiations in the directions they want, they're starting to make it clear there are legal alternatives for not complying with what Universal wants done," he said.
The prospect of Universal Music or other record labels suing MySpace or YouTube represents a departure from the way the recording industry has interacted with the sites thus far.
In less than three years, MySpace has emerged as a choice destination for young people and a hub for bands to promote music. Record labels big and small have created Web pages on the social networking hub for their bands, typically allowing visitors to listen to the artists' music for free.
Since launching last year, YouTube has grown into one of the most popular video portals on the Web, thriving off user-generated videos that sometimes include people lip-synching to copyrighted songs or incorporating footage from movies or music videos.
The company has said it promptly complies with notices to remove copyright-infringing material uploaded by computer users.
Commercial music videos – some posted with the blessing of the record labels – can also be found on the site.
The company recently added branded channels and videos that enable companies to advertise on the site, a service Warner Bros. Records used to promote Paris Hilton's debut album.
Capitol Records, meanwhile, has released videos on YouTube by The Vines, Cherish and OK Go.
Universal, however, has made it a priority to get compensation for content that was once seen as purely promotional.
Last year, the company began charging Web portals such as Yahoo Inc. and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL for playing its artists' music videos online or over video-on-demand services.

Is it true?
September 16, 2006
A video found saying that there is proof Morbeck is gay. The photos apear to come from Gcruise.com. The description says "A gay friend of mine tends this website (A Gay Website) everyday then he came across morbeck. Well lets just say he doesnt look so good naked. Why would Morbeck post himself on a website like this knowing hes so famous at youtube? Well who knows but I did not post the website because we dont need a bunch of under age kids making accounts at this website because they want to know if its "real proof"
Youtube news made a account on Gcruise.com and looked for the profile and found it. There wasnt much information on the profile so where not sure if someone just made the account up to make people think Morbeck is gay.
Lonelygirl15 Makes It On Answers.com
September 15, 2006
lonelygirl15 (also known as Bree), is a fictional character who plays a controversial user at the popular video hosting website YouTube. The vlogs have elicited mass popularity and were originally thought to be non-fictional.
The actress who plays the role is New Zealander Jessica Lee Rose[1], born April 26, 1987.
The series was created by Ramesh Flinders, a screenwriter and filmmaker from Marin County, Calif., and Miles Beckett, a doctor-turned-filmmaker[2].
A film starring the same actress is available at YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpQL4Wspdtg
Theme and plot
As the "vlogs" (or video blogs) have aired, a story arc has emerged which — according to at least one critic — is almost Shakespearean in its nature.[3] The treatment of the following themes, and the nature of the dialogue strongly suggests scripting to many users.
The central themes of their video blogs are:
- Unrequited love / romantic confusion – Bree is unsure of how to react when Daniel confesses that he 'likes her'
- Rebellion against Parenting – Bree is homeschooled by parents who she implies are also strictly religious.
- Forbidden experimentation – her parents are apparently unaware of her video blogs.

In what was an engaging and highly informative talk, Prof. Rossinow discussed 'A Movement of Movements or a Conjuncture of Forces? Interpreting the 1960s, Half a Century On.' Below is this listener's brief summary of the lecture.
From civil rights to black power, and from student radicalism to the Vietnam War, the 1960s immediately connotes a period of protest and social transformation with a resonance issuing, at least in part, from the living memories of so many who experienced the decade and participated in its characterising events. The movement away from the perceived traditionalism of the 1950s enabled revolutionary ways of thinking and a real change in the cultural fabric of American life to take place. Gaining political traction in the 1960s, these movements fundamentally changed the nation's trajectory, and as such have helped contribute to the mythical remembering of the decade. The decade has been a constant source of historical scrutiny, with many arguing that the 1960s has reverberations that can still be felt today. In terms of historiography, this period is awash with interpretations, and into this historiographical minefield stepped Prof. Rossinow yesterday. Through his talk, Prof. Rossinow was able to guide the audience through the complex terrain of 1960s history before describing his own suggestions of how best to understand the decade – one that he sees importantly as a conjuncture of forces.
In his presentation, Prof. Rossinow began by outlining the various ways scholars have interpreted the 1960s over time, describing the three main ideas as 'The Long Sixties', 'The Global Sixties', and 'A Movement of Movements.' With a brief summary of the first two interpretations, including an analysis of their respective interpretive problems, Prof. Rossinow moved on to an extended discussion of the 'Movement of Movements' idea. This idea is most often associated with Van Gosse, whose work 'Rethinking the New Left: An Interpretative History' stands testament to this.
Here Van Gosse argues that from the 1950s to the 1970s, a host of movements struggled to make democracy and equality realities in America. With the 1960s as his clear focus, Van Gosse unites the movements for civil rights and black power, for peace and solidarity with the Third World, and for gender and sexual equality together in his conception of the New Left. In its summary, Van Goose argues that: 'From Vietnam to the war at home against African and Native Americans, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Asian Americans, from Women's to Gay Liberation, the New Left was the broadest-based movement for fundamental change in American history.' As Prof. Rossinow highlighted, Van Gosse synthesizes and chronicles the protests, confrontations, victories, and defeats of the 1960s into one umbrella story. However, according to Prof. Rossinow, the complex nature of these movements leaves this interpretation wanting.
Therefore, as Prof. Rossinow suggested, instead of using the 'New Left' as a master category, bringing together an array of movements, it is important to think of these movements as distinctive, and as each with their own origins and causes. First there are the movements of the excluded people, who through demanding rights and recognition are quite different from the revolts of the white middle-class youth, who were rebelling against their political and social surroundings within the dominant culture. Thus, with the counterculture as a symbol of the youth's rebellion against traditional values, to lump them together with movements fighting oppression, persecution, or prejudice is to distort their unique importance within the 1960s.
Instead, Prof. Rossinow encouraged us to think of these movements as a conjuncture of forces. Essentially, these movements had a lot of sympathy for one another, but that does not equate to an automatic alliance/relationship, and scholars should be wary of projecting one identity onto a range of unique movements. By thinking of the 1960s as a conjuncture of forces too, it enables us to identify when the decade ended – which as Prof. Rossinow highlighted, elicits a lot of controversy from those in the field who argue that the 1960s battles are still on-going. For example, if we think of movements of oppression, one could argue that we are still fighting the battle for rights and recognition of many today. But if we think of the movements of rebellion as a particularly white-middle class revolt, one is able to argue that these movements were unique to their contemporary environment.
In what was an insightful and well-attended lecture, Prof. Rossinow unravelled the various historiographical interpretations of an important era, and offered some of his own conclusions regarding how we should peer through the historical lens to analyse what was a significant decade of transformation. It is true that the 1960s remains the most consequential and controversial decade of the twentieth century. In what dawned as a decade bright with hope and idealism, with many believing that the American state would attain its mightiest reforms and reach, ended in discord and disillusionment. Perhaps no period in American history has been filled with such an expansive and ambitious sense of possibilities—such a grand, inspiring sense of what Americans could achieve. But with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy (which happened 50 years ago tomorrow), Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy, the crushing of the Great Society's massive social reform plans by the ravages of Vietnam, and the intense backlash to many of the movements discussed above, this hope was shattered. Prof. Rossinow's talk was deeply informative, and allowed us all to contextualise this crucial decade in American history. From the counterculture to the rise of conservatism, and from the peaceful marches of those oppressed in society to the violent rioting of those demoralised, the upheavals of the 1960s opened fissures within American society that have continued to affect the nation's politics and to intensify its so-called culture wars. As Prof. Rossinow superbly highlighted, 50 years on, the 1960s is still very much with us.

From Goodreads:
Meet two teens whose worlds are about to change forever in this paranormal Young Adult novella, a prequel to Ink by debut author Amanda Sun…
Katie Greene's worst nightmare comes true when her mother dies, and she's devastated to learn that she will have to leave the only home she's ever known. Desperate to find where she belongs, she must decide if she has what it takes to start a new life across the ocean.
For Yuu Tomohiro, every day is a nightmare. He struggles to control his strange ability, and keeps everyone at a distance so they won't get hurt—even his girlfriend, Myu. At night, a shadow haunts his dreams, and a mysterious woman torments him with omens of death and destruction. But these haunting premonitions are only the beginning…
I've had Ink sat on my shelf for what feels like forever. I heard about it just before it released and saw quite a lot of good reviews so instantly bought it when it was released. I have friends that state that they loved Ink and so I finally wanted to pick it up. Just before starting it I discovered that there was this short prequel novella. Because I love to know the back story of novels I decided to go ahead and read this prequel before starting the first book.
Katie Greene's world has been turned upside down. Her Mom is dead and she is being uprooted from USA to Japan. She doesn't speak Japanese and all she wants is to go back to America. Tomohiro won't let anybody close to him. Having the dreams and premonitions of a shadow that he knows is true and is haunting him, anybody who gets close to him is in danger... but the danger is about to get worse...
I really enjoyed this short prequel. I admit I didn't love it but that it mainly because by the time I was right into the story it was finished. It did it's job and it did what prequels are meant to do. It grabbed my attention from that start and drew me in with it's intrigue and had me dying to find out more about this world and this story. I can't wait to start Ink and find out where this storyline goes.
I can't really comment on whether I like the characters or not yet as this was so short I didn't really get a real feel for them. Shadow introduced me to the world and the story and had me interested and dying to know what happens. That makes it a very successful prequel to me. One thing I can say I did love was the introduction to Japan. I am dying to not only see where this storyline goes but also finding out about a new country and culture. Books are a great escape from our boring normal, day-to-day life and I, as English, find books set in America interesting as I have never been there and experiences that but to find books set in other countries makes me so excited as it's like I get to travel... without having to pay the expenses of a holiday.
Shadow completely grabbed my attention and I am looking forward to reading on and learning more about the new Japanese culture and the storyline. I have high hopes for Ink after this as Shadow was a very strong prequel. One of the best I have read.

Positive Outlook – Research shows that one hour of yoga helps boost the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which relieves anxiety and improves mood. Higher levels of GABA trigger feelings of happiness while lower levels can signal depression.
Reduced Stress Levels – Beyond its physical benefits, yoga helps reduce stress. Stress can manifest as chronic back or neck pain or as a sleeping disorder. Yoga helps individuals develop coping mechanisms for stress, and that helps alleviate these physical symptoms.
Mind/Body Connection – One of the greatest benefits of yoga is the connection between the mind and the body. Yoga exercises help individuals strengthen muscles in their bodies and open up their minds and spirits to meditation.

Today's Topic: The Top Ten Most Anticipated Debut Novels For 2015
Now I don't know about the most anticipated, so instead I'm going to list the new novels I'm looking forward to reading this year that I happened to come across or hear about. Some may not be debuts but instead may be authors who are new to me. Some also may not be new in 2015 but I haven't gotten to them yet. There is a mix as I read a lot more than just zombie novels (as any author should!)
In no particular order some of my picks:
1. The Miniaturist: A Novel - I mentioned this one before on my other blog. Sounds fascinating since it involves dollhouse miniatures, which I collect, and centers on the beautiful 17th century Dutch cabinet house once owned by Petronella Oortman, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Well worth a look at the website if you haven't seen it.
2. Big Book of a Miniature House, The: Create and decorate a house room by room -
This is a new release in English of a French book that has been out for a while. How to make your own French chateau. The author runs a beautiful blog. Lea Atelier, with wonderful, French shabby, vintage-style rooms.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention any zombie or horror books I was looking forward to reading. (Some may say zombies are "dead," but the amount of zombie books coming out in 2015 doesn't seem to have let up yet.)
3. Here's a short story coming out in March with an interesting premise - Carniepunk: The Werewife - a housewife bit by a dog-faced boy from a traveling carnival develops a craving for raw meat. No preview so no idea what it reads like but sounds strange enough...
4. Here's another short story by Bob Thurman, also from the same anthology but with no story description. Jan 12 release. Carniepunk: Painted Love
5. The Undying: Shades: An Apocalyptic Thriller (May 2015) A follow-up to The Undying -
as the youngest surviving human Ren is also the perfect killing machine who readies to save the world. But the weakened undead hives are reawakened and transformed into a new monster via a dark presence.
6. What's better than zombie-vampires and a mysterious virus? Sounds intriguing from the preview, too. Suckers: A Horror Novel (Jan 2015) PW called it a "shining" crowdsourced debut...
* I may not reach 10 - Feel free to add suggestions in the comments.

I didn't really pay much attention to patch notes, so I was kinda surprised to hear that they added new stuff to Wintergrasp. I popped over on my pally to check them out… and my jaw dropped.
Wintergrasp is an obscene source of amazing epics now. Previously, I always made sure to get 55 marks on all my alts while levelling so that they could easily pick up an epic helm and boots at 80. They come in different flavours, including Dominance which gives an amazing amount of hit rating. The helm also comes with a meta slot, which normal quest blues don't give.
With 3.1, new epic ilevel 213 chestpieces and belts have also been added, in the same flavours of hit rating or haste rating. The chestpieces can be had for 40 Wintergrasp marks, and the belts for only 15 marks. Even with the wasted stats on resilience, they completely blow all heroic blues out of the water and are comparable to naxx-10 epics. It also helps that chestpieces tend to be harder to find in my experience, with the crafted pieces being more expensive.
But the real killers… are the trinkets. Here is a list of the new trinkets available for 25 marks each:
95 Hit rating
95 Haste rating
111 Spell Power OMG
95 Crit rating
190 Attack Power WTF
The on-use ability is the same as the PvP trinkets, on a 2 minute cooldown. They are not fantastic for PvE, but can come in useful, e.g. escaping Prince Keleseth's Ice Tomb, or King Ymiron's stun ability, Web-wrap from the Watchers in AN. But the on-equip bonuses are so amazingly high for a single slot that I can well imagine them beating out all other heroic trinkets in dps. For comparison, a spellpower trinket that gives 346 spellpower for 20 secs every 2 minutes would only work out to be 20/120 * 346 = 58 spellpower, just half of what the spellpower trinket provides.
There are other trinkets for 25 marks also with on-equip resilience and on-use dps stats as well, but I don't think they are as good in PvE:
Attack power
Spell power
Haste rating
A lot of people may not like to do Wintergrasp, especially on PvE servers. But with rewards like these, it really seems a shame not to pick up the free epics. Every Wintergrasp rewards between 1-3 Marks depending on your rank, and you can rank up to the max rank by killing fast respawning NPCs. You don't even need honor, just Marks. You don't even need to know what Wintergrasp is about, just go in, kill NPCs or follow the zerg around until you get max rank, then pray your side wins so you get 3 Marks.

Rihatsu: Revenge is bad.
Interlocutor: Why? Other than because it's acting on emotion rather than reason.
Rihatsu: Because when one seeks revenge, one is putting one's creativity into harming someone, and thus forcing them to put theirs into fending off that harm. So one ends up creating nothing, and using two people's creativity. You could both have spent that effort producing something valuable.
Interlocutor: If you have a policy of revenge, though, it should put people off harming you in future, which would mean as long as people know you have the policy and avoid harming you, you won't actually need to get revenge.
Rihatsu: That's bad firstly because it's coercion—so if someone does something they think is good but they're mistaken, or if you have bad ideas, then you will end up seeking revenge mistakenly. For example, if someone hated criticism, and sought revenge every time they were criticized. It is as bad as enacting any coercive force on people. Secondly, because if you had that policy and then met someone new, it might take a long time for them to realize that that was your policy, so a lot of hurting would occur before they submitted to your coercive attitude. Note that "submitting" ought not to be the aim of interaction for any civilized group of people.
Interlocutor: You could make it clear that that's your policy and only do it to people who actually do something harmful to you (so that even if it is a mistake, they still had a chance to work out how you'd react). For a big example of the former, we have the state, which punishes people who break it's laws to stop them harming it (and lots of other stuff).
Rihatsu: We are not discussing populations here, but interpersonal relations. One can use reason much more creatively, as the choice here is not between Rule of Man or Rule of Law. Additionally, you're presuming there to understand what "actually harmful" means; but that is not infallibly obvious, and two people may have different ideas of what constitutes harm depending on how mistaken they are. So I believe that proposition was meaningless. Surely it would be better to have a policy amongst your friends of not hurting each other, so if someone is hurt then it was almost certainly accidental and therefore easy to solve.
Interlocutor: That might not discourage strangers, who think they'll be unlikely to gain anything from participating in a not-hurting system, or very irrational people.
Rihatsu: Rational strangers would recognize the value of not hurting people. Why would you want to be friends with irrational people? Unless you had a specific reason that mitigated the irrationality, in which case... it would be worth it anyway, or else it wouldn't quite be worth it, so you wouldn't know them. Two wrongs don't make a right; one right makes a right.
Interlocutor: You might be forced into associating with them, like if they work or study at the same place as you or if you run a state and need to account for all your citizens.
Rihatsu: I don't see why it wouldn't be better to find ways of not being affected oneself by their irrationality, rather than finding ways of lowering yourself to their level.
Interlocutor: Their irrationality might be very hard to avoid, like if, say, a co-worker makes the whole workplace less efficient by being distracting and bad at the job.
Rihatsu: Then why would more people being irrational make things more efficient?
Interlocutor: if you do something for revenge (like not car-pool for them) they'd have incentive to be more productive.
Rihatsu: That never happens. People do not like to be humiliated, and would just seek more counter revenge. And besides, if the problem is that they are irrational, and as a result unproductive and inefficient, then that won't change properly until they are persuaded. And force does not contain knowledge.
Interlocutor: I see. I agree.
Rihatsu: Not to mention, hurting people is unpleasant. I dislike situations in which people get hurt. I wouldn't want to create one, or prolong one.

I have a set of numbers & character, and each number/char appears more than once. Suppose: A, B, 6, 9, B, 8, 3, B . (a total of 10 different kinds) How should I program, in order to find out the most occurring number/char? All the number/char has already been count, which means that I already know 6 appears six times, 9 appears 3 times, etc. I was trying to use a loop that save the first number as temp then start to compare the other, and if the temp is great, I would keep comparing until either the count of the other number/char is the same, then I would do something but I start to get into infinite loop and very very long codes any idea how to make it easier?
**Although this is a program in assembly language, I just want to get the concept (even in C is fine...)

There's a lot more to bar work than when I was a barmaid in 1990. In my day, when people asked what wine you had, it was either red or white, and it was served out of an optic over the bar (eeugh!) A cocktail was a vodka and orange. Things have moved on since then, thankfully, and at the Living Room, the bar staff have a detailed knowledge of the different cocktails on offer and the ingredients of a traditional Martini. Despite this wealth of information, we ordered glasses of prosecco. How predictable.
The place has had a bit of a facelift since I last visited. Starter was a pea soup, served with pea shoots, crusty bread and butter. This had a lot of flavour and was the perfect starter.
For main, I ordered the fishcake served with wilted spinach, poached egg and hollandaise. This was ok, but I don't think prawns go well in a fishcake – they tend to come out a bit overdone and rubbery.
For pudding, I ordered the cheese – a generous plate with oat crackers.
I generally recommend the Living Room. It is a chain, but this doesn't prevent it from serving good food from a menu that gets updated now and then. Service is always polite and friendly.
