Store History
- Founded: 2002
- Founded by: Valerie and Paul Holstein
- Headquarters: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Mix in Fry's Electronics hardware aisle, the supply room from the IT department, with a little bit of old school Radio Shack thrown in and you've got CableOrganizer.com. The site is dedicated to a plethora of wire management, power and data hardware, organizational tech tools and just about anything else that let's you wrangle in the tangle normally associated with a tech'ed out desk.
Ties, clips, grommets, cable guides, USB grommets for desks, a fair assortment of actual cables and everything inbetween is what you'll find at CableOrganizer.com. The site is about no nonsense as you can get, but when you're looking for "butt splices", you don't need bells and whistles (the name is entertaining in itself). Notable product lines available on the site include home automation company, Lutron, alongside home organizing label equipment DYMO (we love label writers!).
If you're getting started on desk/computer organizing, you could do worse than checking out CableOrganizer.com, if only to browse for inspiring ideas of how to hide, guide and organize everything related to staying plugged in. Prices can be hit and miss, with certain items priced amongst the lowest online, while others can be found elsewhere for a decent savings, so be sure to cross reference before checking out with that 25 USB port desk grommet. But we like the convenience and comprehensive selection...and the fact they carry something called "butt splices".

The question considered by the English court in the MTM HONG KONG1 was: if a voyage charter is repudiated by charterers, is an owner's claim for lost profits limited to either:
- The duration of the repudiated charter period.
- The duration of the repudiated charter period plus other losses, such as positional losses, which may be incurred beyond the repudiated charter period?
The MTM HONG KONG was voyage chartered to carry vegoil from a range of loadports in South America to a range of ports in the Gibraltar-Rotterdam range. Immediately prior to the contractual voyage the vessel grounded at Boma, central Africa. This caused delays and eventually resulted in the termination of the charter.
When the vessel eventually left Boma, the owners ordered her to proceed in ballast to South America, which they considered to be the most promising area for substitute business. After some time, the owners fixed the vessel for a voyage from San Lorenzo to Rotterdam. This substitute fixture was completed on 12 April 2011.
It was impliedly accepted that if the contractual voyage had been performed, it would have been completed on 17 March 2011. The vessel would then have performed a voyage from the Baltic to the United States and one back to Europe. It was also accepted that all three voyages would have been completed about the same time as the substitute fixture – 12 April 2011.
In arbitration, the owners succeeded in recovering from the charterers damages totalling just over US$1.2 million, equivalent to the difference between the profit actually earned on the substitute fixture, and the profit which would have been earned had the contract voyage plus the two following transatlantic voyages been performed.
Appeal to the High Court
The charterers appealed to the High Court arguing that owners' recovery should be limited to US$478,386 on the ground that damages should be calculated by reference to the vessel's actual and hypothetical earnings only up to the date when the contract voyage would have ended. They argued that this followed from the long established measure of loss set down in Smith v M'Guire2 - that damages were to be assessed by deducting from the net freight and demurrage any earnings from a substitute voyage. Therefore the correct approach was to apportion the owner's earnings under the substitute charter to reflect the amount earned up to the date the contract voyage would have completed, namely 17 March 2011.
In dismissing the appeal, the judge found that the performance of the contract voyage would not only have enabled the owners to earn the freight payable under the contract charter, it would also have positioned the vessel in Europe to take advantage of higher freight rates in the North Atlantic. Thus, in addition to loss of profit on the repudiated charter, the owners were also entitled to recover their loss as a result of delay in repositioning the vessel in Europe, namely positional loss - the two follow-on transatlantic voyages. It was important, however, that loss of the two follow-on voyages could be calculated with a reasonable degree of confidence.
At first blush, this decision appears to be at odds with a line of authorities beginning with Smith v M'Guirewhich established that damages for a repudiated charter are limited to those incurred up to the final date of the charter period. However, the judge emphasized this was only on the face of it the measure of damages, and it may be necessary to depart from it in order to give effect to the compensatory principle. The reasoning in this judgment demonstrates a holistic outworking of the compensatory principle, which takes into account all the circumstances of the case and the commercial realities.
The upshot of this judgment is that an owner is not limited to a claim for lost profits calculated by reference to the duration of the repudiated charter alone, but may also be entitled to claim other losses incurred beyond the repudiated charter period, for example positional losses – provided these can be proven. It is submitted that this outcome accords with fairness and is to be welcomed.

A year after a South Florida charity suffered a heartbreaking loss, its founder is still making dreams come true.
"Drops of Hope" was founded by Michael Fischer in part to help local families of kids fighting cancer arrive to and from their treatments in a luxurious limo.
That's until the limo was stolen in December 2011.
"The people who were working on it had disappeared, and the building they had repaired it in was abandoned, and everything was confiscated," Fischer said.
Pediatric Patients, Chefs Collaborate at Holtz Children's Hospital
Fischer had worked as a chauffeur, giving kids rides in style to their treatments.
"We pick them up at 6:30 in the morning, and we don't bring them back sometimes until 6 at night," he said.
To buy that first limo, Fischer took on heavy debts on several credit cards. Now he's taking on more debt, paying out of pocket to limo companies all over South Florida to keep up his good work.
American Giving Awards Honor Local Charities
Being limo-less has even helped Fischer make over his charity.
"We provide room makeovers for children and families that don't have access to basic essentials whether its beds or mattresses," he said.

From Bombay, India:
I have read the following: "Lantus, because it has essentially no peak, reduces the risk of nighttime hypoglycemia compared with NPH." I do not agree with the above statement because for my daughter, the Lantus peaks every night and her blood glucose levels drop by 150 to 200 mg/dl [8.3 to 11.1 mmol/L]. We've had to wake her in the middle of the night to give her something to eat/drink to avoid a hypoglycemic condition.
My daughter currently takes seven units of Regular around 4 p.m. daily and 24 units of Lantus at 7:30 every morning. At night, there is such a big drop. How do they claim that Lantus has "no peak?" Our doctor says the honeymoon period is over.
I agree that honeymoon is almost certainly over. I don't think this is anything to do with Lantus "peaking, " but your daughter may be on the wrong dose with there still being an effect in the middle of the night. More likely is that she has too much Regular at 4 p.m. and this is lagging until the small hours of the night. Does your daughter always have a starchy snack before bed? If not, she should.

Andriy Shevchenko
The head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko summed up the interim results of its work in the national team.
Recall that Andriy Shevchenko has replaced on a post of head coach of Ukraine Mykhailo Fomenko, who left the national team after Euro 2016. Under the leadership of Shevchenko, the Ukrainian national team scored three to win and two draws.
Legendary ex-striker stated that he always wanted to be a coach, but also summed up the results of five months of work with the main team of the country.
"I always wanted to be a coach. When I played, it looked to many things in football with different eyes. I watched the team play, training, tactics. After each game, I not only watched the highlights with his participation, and the team, have studied the game partners, the team against which we play, its players. I always needed more information than a simple player.
This is my first coaching experience. And these 5 months flew by very quickly. The most important thing for a coach is the result. There are positive developments. We see that the team is moving in the right direction. There are changes in the quality of the game and respect the players, and in the interest of those same fans. For us it is very important that we played not only football that we like, and which pleases the fans.
Every coach sees football in their own way – the structure of the game, training. I have set ourselves a very difficult task. I want us to play football which will bring the result, which will be pleasant to watch and that will please the fans. I understand what it takes to make a great piece of work.
The most difficult match for this autumn? Every match was difficult, responsible, and every match ahead will be the same. We have a very difficult group. Iceland remembered that we played in an empty stadium. It left a residue. Don't forget the kids ' desire to play well. I felt and saw this – for me it was very important. Each of them became a team player," said Shevchenko in the program "My game" on TV channel Football 1.
The same news on iSport.ua Shevchenko: "I wish we played football, which will bring the result"
According to the materials:

Quick updates on two items of continuing interest:
First, Science Progress teased me with this message:
It refers to the Yes We Scan proposal I posted about last month. While the petition on We The People didn't get the signatures it needed in 30 days, the National Archivist saw fit to respond before the end of the petition period. That response doubled as the official administration response. I have not found any indication of what Science Progress was hinting at, but this interview with John Podesta and online interview with Carl Malamud captures the thinking of both men spearheading the effort, and the daunting scope of the efforts ahead.
In other news, Congress continues to grapple with the critical elements challenge by having hearings. This time a subcommittee of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee held the hearing in December 2011 (H/T American Institute of Physics' FYI). The hearing was prompted, at least in part, by a report (Energy Critical Elements: Securing Materials for Emerging Technologies) from the American Physical Society and the Materials Research Society. Energy Critical Elements is their nomenclature for the kinds of materials I've called critical elements, rare earth minerals, or something similar. In other words, elements important for various kinds of high technology purposes (usually batteries). Nuclear isotopes are a different class of elements that suffer similar problems of scarcity and production challenges. The U.S. has gone without much (if any) domestic production capacity. While the hearing is far from the first on this issue, the new message from this one is that the Department of Energy is continuing to work on addressing the problem. Given the lack of progress on Congressional legislation in this area, it's pretty much up to them.

Piece of the Whole - Part 2/
A follow-up to my post from a couple days ago about shooting a portion of the whole subject....I mentioned you could apply the approach to all types of subjects. Here we'll check out some architectural examples. You may recognize the door and window from an earlier post, this time we'll look at a variation of each. The above tight shot of the door brings particular attention to the "33". In contrast, in the image below of the full door the numbers don't stand out nearly as much.
Next compare the two window photos. The first shows most of the window, the second emphasizes the bottom half.
Consider how your eye moves around in each variation. Notice what is emphasized in the wider/full photo vs. the tighter/piece of photo. And it's not always about right or wrong, or a good shot vs. a bad shot. It's about realizing these variations produce very different images. When you decide to include the entire door, or just part of it, make it a conscious decision as that will help you better see and understand your composition.

The Sports Xchange
By Scott Keepfer, The Sports Xchange
Boyd plays little as Clemson rolls
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Tajh Boyd played less than a half, but that was all that was necessary.
Boyd ran for an early touchdown, then took the majority of the day off as No. 4 Clemson cruised to a 52-13 victory against South Carolina State Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
Boyd failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time in 17 games, dating back to a loss at North Carolina State on Nov. 19, 2011, so his back-up came on and provided most of the Tigers' fireworks.
Cole Stoudt, the son of former NFL quarterback Cliff Stoudt, completed 19 of 20 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns as Clemson improved to 2-0.
"I believe Cole could be a starter at any place in the ACC," said Boyd, who didn't play at all in the second half. "I think he proved that today."
Stoudt's performance broke the record for the highest single-game completion percentage (95.0 percent) in Clemson history, eclipsing the standard set by Woody Dantzler against The Citadel in 2000. Ironically, Dantzler was at the game, serving as an honorary captain.
"We weren't planning on using Cole as early as we did, but he was just awesome," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.
Boyd had the wind knocked out of him on a play midway through the second quarter. Stoudt came in and promptly completed six straight passes, including a three-yard scoring toss to Charone Peake that gave Clemson a 31-7 lead.
"We have been working on those plays all year and when you get in a groove out there, it all kind of comes with you," said Stoudt, a junior who entered the game with 14 career appearances. "It was fun."
It wasn't much fun for S.C. State (0-2), which mustered only 241 total yards, including just 86 yards rushing on 46 attempts for a 1.9 average.
"The key to the game was up front," S.C. State coach Buddy Pough said. "We wanted to run the ball, but we just couldn't block Clemson. And when we tried to pass the ball, their rush was too difficult to overcome.
"Today was a good learning experience for our team. Playing a team of this caliber will get us ready for the rest of the season."
Clemson, which is enjoying its highest ranking in 25 years, improved to 27-0 all-time against FCS opponents. It was just the second meeting between the Bulldogs and Tigers, who claimed a 54-0 decision in 2008.
Fourteen different players caught passes for Clemson, which led 38-7 at halftime. Germone Hopper and Martavis Bryant, neither of whom had a reception in the Tigers' opener, were the leading receivers, with Hopper grabbing six passes for 66 yards and two scores and Bryant corralling four passes for 87 yards.
Clemson's offense remained prolific, despite several starters seeing limited playing time. The Tigers' up-tempo, no-huddle offense ran 95 plays and amassed 512 yards. Fourth-team running back C.J. Davidson, who did not have a college carry until Saturday, was the leading rusher with 63 yards on 13 attempts.
Clemson's defense did its part, too, as cornerback Martin Jenkins had a 52-yard interception return for a touchdown and Darius Robinson followed with a 35-yard interception return of his own less than five minutes later to provide the Tigers with an early 24-0 cushion.
It marked the first time in Clemson history that the Tigers had returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game.
"Me and Darius were up talking all last night," Jenkins said. "People look at the secondary as the weak link on our team and it has been like that for the last two or three years. We were talking about how we needed to start changing the culture."
One bright spot for the visiting Bulldogs was senior Tyler McDonald. McDonald, who had four receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown in S.C. State's opener last Saturday, had another big game, scoring both of the Bulldogs' touchdowns on catches of 63 and 51 yards and finishing with four receptions for 138 yards.
NOTES: Clemson has been ranked in 31 consecutive polls, which is the third-longest streak in school history. ... Clemson's Chandler Catanzaro has made 20 of his last 21 field goal attempts over the past two seasons. ... S.C. State punter Nick Belcher punted 10 times for an average of 39.7 yards per attempt. ... FS Kimari McFadden led the Bulldogs with 15 tackles, including 11 unassisted.

Section 2 - Aftermath
Dashiell Lincoln
Talent Medic, Oversight Special Agent, Section 2
Dashiell is an athletic male with a clean shaven head and dark green eyes. He stands approximately 6'2", 210 lb. and is 35 years in age. He is the first to admit the his is a jock and not a brain when it comes to his skillset. He tends to have a law enforcement aura to him that he tries his best to shake off when he has downtime.
Talent: He is a regenerative individual that can apply the benefits of this powers to anyone he touches. He can also sense living life forms around him, in a short range.
Dashiell indeed lived a very charmed life until his father (a prominent judge in San Fransico) and mother were murder. It was then when he first met a US Marshal and decided what he wanted to do with his life. He applied as soon as he was of age.
With his years of experience working as a US Marshal, when his Talent powers manifested, one would assume that Dashiell would be a great asset to the Department of Justice. Due to the classified events that occurred during his Talent manifestation and backroom politics, he was transfered to Section 2, given a new name and now no longer exist to the outside world as who he was before. As long as he can protect the innocent from those who will do them harm he is fine with his transfer.
Lincoln came to the attention of the member of Oversight code-named Cherpakha. He was tapped to transfer to the top-secret personal staff of Oversight where his rank and title are classified.

The Lignum Vitae, the Jamaica National Flower, was found here by Christopher Columbus. Its' name, when translated from Latin, means "wood of life" – probably adopted because of its medicinal qualities.
New! What are the best attractions in Jamaica right now? Click here and see.
The short, compact tree is native to continental tropical American and the West Indies. In Jamaica it grows best in the dry woodland along the north and south coasts of the Jamaica.
The plant is extremely ornamental, producing an attractive blue flower and orange-yellow fruit, while its crown has an attractive rounded shape. Its small purple blossom is what we label as Jamaica's national flower!
The tree is one of the most useful in the world. The body, gum, bark, fruit, leaves and blossom all serve some useful purpose. In fact, the tree has been regarded for its medicinal properties. The leaf of the plant is used for rubbing on cuts and insect bites by many people particulary those in the St. Elizabeth are of Jamaica.
A gum (gum guaiac) obtained from its resin was once regarded as a purgative. It was exported to Europe from the early sixteenth century as a remedy (combined with mercury) for syphilis and has also been used as a remedy for gout. The wood was once used as propeller shaft bearings in nearly all the ships sailing the 'Seven Seas'.
Because of this, Lignum Vitae and Jamaica
are closely associated in shipyards worldwide. It is a very heavy wood
which will sink in water.
Because of its toughness it is used for items such as mortars, mallets, pulleys and batons carried by policemen. It is also used for furniture.
It is said that The lignum vitae is found in very few other locations around the world because they survive only in dry, arid climates.

It had been a while since I went to another show besides Phish, especially in the jammy vein of things. Years ago I went to see moe and wasn't very impressed. It was good, well played, but it also had a certain "improv by numbers" feel to me. That night anyway, every song fell into the same pattern, a verse or two and then a round-robin kind of jam sequence to finish things up. I haven't even bothered to go to any TAB shows recently because they just don't do it for me like Phish. Frankly, Phish is magic, those four guys are wizards and when they get together, more often than not, something special happens.
So it was not without some trepidation that I went to see Umphrey's McGee close out their Chicago run this past weekend. I've scouted them out for at least the last ten years, listened to the podcast pretty regularly, and felt like I had a pretty good idea what was coming. I won't say I was blown away, but I also wasn't disappointed, not by a long shot.
A definite plus was the venue, the Riviera. I've seen some great acts at the Riv (Wilco, PJ Harvey, Trey, Los Lobos to name a few) and I've found the sound to be decent, the sight lines really good and for a Chicago northsider like myself, incredibly convenient. Unfortunately, security was a bit slow, not tight per se, but not enough guards to do the ceremonial pat down to get us in the door. It wasn't polar vortex cold while waiting, but it was pretty damn cold. By the time I got in the show had already started which always pisses me off. I hate missing that opening energy spike.
Like I said, I've been to quite a few shows at the Riv and I can't remember the place being that packed. It was crazy! I could barely move, let alone dance. I did manage to make a little room for myself, but it was well into the first set before I could even move my feet more than a few inches. By the time they were playing 2nd Self, I was decidedly into the groove.
The groove was particularly tight too. Umphrey's puts out a lot of energy. As I heard a bunch of fans screaming, they rage. A great example of this (and a bit of whimsy too) is the second set opener, Der Bluten Kat. It clocks in at 27 minutes, though there are definitive movements within the song, well worth your time. Compared to Phish it was a hard rock kind of feel. The focus for most of the songs was speed and musicianship, with a sprinkle of funk. The dual guitar give off a great sound, at times it reminded me of bands like Built to Spill and even Funkadelic, with less funk.
I am biased against the double drummer, however. For as much texture and power the twin guitars brings, I feel like the dual precussion is overkill, especially in a small room like the Riv. The guitars were able to work over the drums, but the keyboards were pretty much lost in the mix. Later on the recordings it sounded better, but live, not so much luck. The other thing about the double drummer and definitely a Fishman bias is the double drummer solo. Dear god, really? I'm sorry, there is nothing remotely interesting to me about two guys playing drums for 5 minutes. It makes me feel like I'm in a parking lot somewhere.
Overall though, a really good show. Unlike the podcasts, Umphrey's reigned it in from time to time and just played really solid 5-6 minute songs, including a couple of nice acoustic songs. Also their choice of covers is from that same well that makes Phish covers so interesting, if not a little more off-beat. Umphrey's played a couple of tunes that I remember distictly from my fm radio listening days. Bob Seger's Night Moves was a transport to an earlier Midwest time and The Cars Just What I Needed had me grinning from ear to ear. The Chicago-centric Cherub Rock with Jimmy Chamberlin sitting in was a nice home town touch. Now, when was that Summer Camp Festival again?

I've been reading blogs and articles about gearing up for holiday marketing. They don't even have the Halloween candy out in the stores… Do we really need to start thinking about things like Hanukkah or Christmas? The short answer is yes, and the long answer is yes – if you'd like your search terms to be ranking during the holidays and have some semblance of a stress-free winter season.
Planning Ahead for the Holidays
I was talking to some clients recently about holiday marketing. They were surprised I was bringing this up so soon. They own a small bed and breakfast in California, and they start getting quite busy before Thanksgiving and throughout Christmas. They're not necessarily "booked full," but life is hectic during the holidays. They've never been really happy with Web site performance during this time period. The traffic from their holiday specials doesn't seem to materialize in time to do them any good.
I had to be honest – they weren't paying attention early enough in the year. If you're going to be busy, you need to plan ahead to ensure great traffic and rankings at the right time. This is true any time of the year – holidays, summer, and fall. If you depend on a seasonal spike in traffic, you must plan ahead.
Using the Right Data
Search Engine rankings don't happen overnight, and being proactive can help your holiday terms and specials rank during the holidays – not after. Start in September, and make sure you've optimized some of your text, page titles, and headers based on keyword research you did last Christmas.
Here's the kicker – most keyword research tools will show data from the last 30-90 days. You're not going to see accurate holiday shopping keyword data from July and August numbers. Data from your last holiday season is probably a lot closer to what's going to happen this holiday season.
I can hear you out there: "Yeah, yeah – its still too early – I'll think about it in November." Sure, you can think about it in November, do things in a rush at the last minute, and you'll see no return on your valuable time and design investment. It needs to happen now, not later.
Don't worry – there's hope. I put together a timeline for ensuring your holiday specials are well thought out, marketed, ranking, and profitable, come Christmas.
Your 2007 Holiday Timeline
- Craft some text for your holiday specials. Take your time doing this. Have the gals over, drink some wine, and work on some cute and witty titles for your specials. Guys: Do some guy things – beer, hockey, barbecue? (I'm reaching, I have no idea what guy things are.) Come up with three options and ask everyone you know which one they would buy. Once you're happy with the offerings and your text, get it to your Webmaster.
- Make sure your supply chain can accommodate your specials. There's nothing worse than having time sensitive orders you can't fulfill.
- Put the specials up on your Web site, make them pretty and appealing – link from your homepage or feature specials on the homepage. Make sure you have great optimization on these pages. Page titles, meta descriptions, heading tags, etc., are important here. Get your keywords naturally into your text, of course.
- Design an email marketing blast to go out to everyone in your database. If you're really prepared, you've collected these from every online buyer you've had over the last year (or five), and you have a wide base of possible customers that want to be exposed to your holiday specials.
- Put the email blasts on your Web site. (Yes, before you send them out to your email list – it's okay, I promise.) Email blasts are news, so put them on your Web site or blog, go visit some other blogs or forums, and talk about what you're offering, then add the link to your email signature. Optimize this new content and get the search engines looking into what's going on ahead of time. If you're putting this up in early October, those pages should be indexed and ranking by Christmas.
- Send out the first blast – you probably won't get many buyers yet, you're just planting the seed with this e-mail campaign.
- Write three more email marketing blasts to capitalize on shoppers in early November, Thanksgiving week, and the week before the last possible day you can ship your product to reach customers prior to the holiday.
- This is when your hard work in September and October will pay off. Send out the emails you prepared for early November and Thanksgiving week. If you have a great email marketing team, send copy to them in October with instructions on when to send. You're going to be busy and won't have time to think about it then, so have it done and ready to go.
- Visit (or have friends visit) some social networking sites. Find out where people are talking about holiday shopping and online shopping, letting them know you've got specials and packages. A link from these sites will always help.
- Home stretch time: Send out your last email blast and then take advantage of last-minute shoppers by offering them "one click" buying from the homepage. Feature a description of your special, a "buy it now" link straight to the credit card form, and it's done. Don't worry about shipping; procrastinators know last minute shipping is expensive, and they've learned to deal with it.
- Tip: One thing I look for when I've procrastinated is the lovely phrase, "free shipping." I'm just dumb enough to pay a bit more for a product if the shipping is free. Wrap some shipping cost into the product price, and give the impression of a discount along with the "package deal" you're already offering.
Have a Stress-Free Holiday Season
Plan ahead. Get content on your site early to rank for the holiday season. This time of year is extremely competitive, and if you have a strategy that makes it easy to execute when you're busy, the holidays won't seem so hectic. Give it a try, jump on board with those early holiday revelers, and hopefully, your holidays will be merry and stress free.
Season's Greetings!
PS: I can't wait for snow!

Because African slavery differed in significant ways from previous forms of Western slavery (particularly in its severity and in its caste structure), and because African slavery differed from accepted forms of indentured servitude that were practiced early in the North American colonies, an extended effort had to be made by the Southern states to define/create a new master/slave relationship. Simply, for slavery to have legal significance in the law the slave identity of Africans forcefully brought to North America had to be rhetorically constructed.
This essay highlights (a) one perspective for understanding that construction; (b) philosophical difficulties that the legal system had in reifying slavery; and (c) concludes by offering a pragmatic view of legal criticism — via a critique of the Nuremberg trials that followed the Second World War — that makes it easier for critics to engage morally with legal reasoning that leads to social injustice.
Richard Weaver and the Politics of Definition
One of Richard Weaver's most influential contributions to criticism is his argument in The Ethics of Rhetoric that the manner by which an individual argues is often a better indicator of that person's values than his or her specific arguments. For example, Weaver argued that Abraham Lincoln was more conservative than the way he has been portrayed because of the argument types he utilized. In developing this idea, Weaver postulated a typography of argument forms (genus and definition, similitude, cause and effect, and authority), each of which correlates with political and ethical norms and are hierarchically situated, with definition being the "highest" or most ethical form:
The argument from definition . . . includes all arguments from the nature of the thing. Whether the genus is an already recognized convention, or whether it is defined at the moment by the orator, or whether it is left to be inferred from the aggregate of its species, the argument has a single postulate. The postulate is that there exist classes which are determinate and therefore predicable. In the ancient proposition of the schoolroom, "Socrates is mortal," the class of mortal beings is invoked as a predicable. Whatever is a member of the class will accordingly have the class attributes.
Weaver, widely considered a major progenitor of modern conservatism in the United States, one who assumed that political conservatives can best perceive the correct structure of the world and create policies to respect that structure, considered the argument from definition to be an expression of political conservatism. In contrast, Weaver associates the argument from cause and effect with socialism and weak reasoning, because this argument form ignores the essential qualities of a thing and focuses instead on contingent fluctuations unmoored from essential (or "real") properties to which human society must conform. In a well-known passage from Ideas Have Consequences (1984), Weaver wrote:
The most portentous general event of our time is the steady obliteration of those distinctions which create society. Rational society is the mirror of the logos, and this means that it has a formal structure which enables apprehension. The preservation of society is therefore directly linked with the recovery of true knowledge. For the success of our restoration it cannot be too often said that society and mass are contradictory terms and that those who seek to do things in the name of mass are the destroyers in our midst. If society is something which can be understood, it must have structure; if it has structure, it must have hierarchy; against this metaphysical truth the declamations of the Jacobins break in vain.
The political importance of definition is grounded in Weaver's ontological view of truth; definition involves the power of the keen mind in comprehending the correct hierarchy in which any object can be described. The person using such argument makes, in Weaver's words, the "highest order of appeal," which is a thing's "unchanging essences or qualities." In other words, definition draws its strength through an understanding of universal order, which, according to Weaver, "is a paradigm of essences, of which the phenomenology of the world is a sort of continuing approximation." Thus, for Weaver, the argument from definition is ethical because, of all the argument forms, only the definitional form can capture the "permanent," the "universal," and the "essential," clearly demarcating that which is constant against that which is fleeting and ephemeral. For Weaver, such argument type involves a "philosophy of being" and ascribes to being the foundation of truth.
Although many of Weaver's arguments have appeal among modern conservatives, more liberal theorists have taken issue with the "comprehensiveness" of a definitional argument assumed by Weaver. For example, Brian McGee argues that such comprehensiveness is nothing more than rhetorical selection, the general as transformed into immutable categories: "The act of definition isolates what might at the moment seem to be particularly important ideas or attributes of a concept, but those important ideas or attributes could be called into question in the future, when a different set of attributes seems more central to describing the term at hand." Definitional arguments only appear to be truthful, as the appeal of the argument is grounded in the human propensity to assign a truth value to the defined terms encountered. This propensity is reinforced by an educational system that encourages students to "understand definitions as objectively true and right." Traditional education, as in the banking model, proceeds from the premise that authorities sanction knowledge (i.e., they offer definitions by which the world becomes known). Implicitly, such authority urges listeners to accept a certain factual reality "that must be taken as given and cannot be disputed." Rote education and much professional training (including legal training) proceed along this line.
With tactics such as definition, cultural persuaders create knowledge and effectuate control over that which they describe. For Weaver, such control is the result of an understanding that codifies and cements social relationships. Since many white people believed that African people represented the uncontrollable passions of the primitive human, relations between them had to be carefully circumscribed and made explicit. Such positioning allowed comparison between the two races to establish categorical distinctions between them, for which a truth value then could be assigned:
Definition must see the thing in relation to other things, as that relation is expressible through substance, magnitude, kind, cause, effect, and other particularities. It is merely different expression to say that this is a view which transcends: perspective, detachment, and capacity to transcend are all requisites of him who would define . . .
— Ethics of Rhetoric
Utilizing such tactics, the "transcendence" of the white race could be read into the text (legal, social, or otherwise) defining the two races as separate and hierarchically situated. To the extent that white people felt "brought down" or threatened by the African's presence in society (or "blood," as in the case of anti-miscegenation laws), the so-called "primitive" state of the African needed discipline and control, as supplied by the institution of slavery. The more slaves in a community, the more volatile the situation for whites, and, thus, the greater the need for systemic control.
This system of control can be understood as involving what Eugene Genovese identified in Roll, Jordan, Roll (1974) as the "hegemonic function of the law." In Southern slave society "the law, even narrowly defined as a system of institutionalized jurisprudence, constituted a principle vehicle for the hegemony of the ruling class." The law in the context of slavery was not a passive or reflective force in society; rather, the law constituted an active "partially autonomous force." According to Genovese, the effect of this hegemony was "to assure people that their particular consciences can be subordinated — indeed, morally must be subordinated — to the collective judgment of society." In other words, the judiciary — through its declared legal opinions — played a critical role in constructing the slave persona of Africans in the United States and of effectuating systemic white control over them.
Debate Between Natural Law and Positive Law
The judiciary, however, faced a significant problem as they sought to reify the hegemony of the white race. That problem was the concept of natural law. Although the concept of natural law has ancient origins in Western culture, the modern expression of natural law became politically and culturally poignant as a result of the European Enlightenment. In practical terms, natural law was an important animating ideology for both the US and French revolutions. When the leaders of these revolutions grounded their agitation in the moral mantle of natural law, they energized an idea that has, in the words of Kathleen Jamieson, "haunted man since the inception of civilization." This point is particularly true in North America, where the ideology of the US revolution clashed fundamentally with the constitutionally codified practice of slavery.
As Jamieson notes in her essay "Natural Law as Warrant," the appeal of natural law is part of a human psychological need "to believe in a just and ordered universe." As with religious appeals, people who suffer often respond to the experience of suffering or injustice by making an appeal to some idealistic force above the contingent world to mediate on their behalf. Such an appeal is an effort by humans to re-describe their powerlessness. Because human beings are at the mercy of the natural world, they have invented a God figure to make sense and remedy their pain and suffering. Against human jurisprudence, which has historically been corruptible and self-serving of elitism, the appeal to natural law petitions for relief in an "ever-just, unchangeable law above the law." Since natural law is argued to be unchangeable, the person who evokes such law, according to Robert Frank, "appeals to self-evident principles that can be known by all humans." For instance, Thomas Jefferson justified breaking colonial ties to England in The Declaration of Independence by appealing to the "Laws of Nature" and to "Nature's God." These entities, argued Jefferson, "entitled" the colonies to independence. Such independence was further warranted because God granted people "unalienable Rights" to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. As Jefferson asserted, such propositions are "self-evident." The role of the state is to protect and to advance these rights.
Implicit in Jefferson's argument is the assumption that there exists a necessary connection between law and morality. Law, which derives from divine order or natural rights, is moral by virtue of its a priori status as part of the inherent order of things. Law, in this sense, is similar to the law of gravity — it is a force whose truth is its influence. Other types of laws, such as human laws, are lesser laws. These laws can also be moral, but their moral grounding depends upon the higher order of divine or natural law. In Jefferson's narrative, state laws are only moral to the extent that they "secure these Rights" of life, liberty, and happiness. To the extent that government fails to protect the ability of individuals to seek these goods, the government betrays the "social contract" (in Rousseau's words), and becomes a non-legal entity. Under such circumstances, people assume the right "to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." The colonists presented the King of England with this reasoning, along with a list of grievances documenting England's transgressions of natural law, to justify their moral right to break from the authority of Britain. Such rhetoric, although an inspiring rallying cry for the Revolution, presented practical problems for the Southern judiciary following the Revolution who wanted to deny black people the right to evoke natural law in an argument for emancipation. The Southern judiciary countered the argument of natural law by evoking the argument that, within a democracy, positive law trumped natural law.
Basic to this issue is the question of whether there is a necessary connection between law and morality. Natural law theorists postulate a necessary connection between law and morality for law to "really" be law. "Morality" is defined as some universally true ethical position, akin to Kant's moral imperative or to a religious ethic. Natural law theorists seek to identify specific legal limitations and principles governing a legal system — such as the protection of private property against government appropriation — and to elevate this protection to the status of eternal truth. Governments that violate this law offend the natural order of proper society and will suffer the consequences. In short, for laws to be deemed sound, they must be traced to some higher principle that is unchanging. God, nature, or "reason" may ground such a principle. Antithetical to this reasoning are arguments from circumstance. For natural law theorists, the important task for government is to design ontologically correct laws and to apply those laws in such a way as to render a "correct" judgment. For example, implicit in the argument that "slavery is wrong" is the assumption that no contingencies warrant a violation of some sacred freedom inherent in being a human being.
The legal positivists, on the other hand, maintain that there is no necessary connection between law and morality. As John Austin states in The Province of Jurisprudence Determined (1955), "The existence of law is one thing; its merit or demerit is another. Whether it be or be not is one enquiry; either it be or be not conformable to an assumed standard, is a different inquiry." Legal positivists claim that any law is law, including the law of slavery. Such law may be repulsive, but to deny its legality would be to ignore the fact that someone such as John Brown could be adjudicated a criminal and executed for violating the law. Although contemporary society can honor John Brown as a hero and respect him for his crime, the fact remains to positivists that the government was not "mistaken" in condemning him. Simply, the law is no less law merely because people find it morally reprehensible. With such reasoning, legal positivists urge society to challenge unjust laws, even to break them, as they remind society that no law per se demands a duty of compliance other than the "duty" that can be materially coerced by fear or force.
Rather than having some grounding in a notion of "unchanging human goods," laws are considered to be the result of social conventions such as "commands," "social rules," or other norms that are not necessarily moral norms. Jeremy Bentham and Austin both argued that the law is the command of power by a sovereign and that the idea of law is content-neutral. Austin, for example, rejected English jurist William Blackstone's assertion that no human law that conflicts with God's law is obligatory or binding. Austin argued that human laws do not lose their authority when they conflict with divine law (often interpreted as natural law). Such laws, in fact, exist and are continually enforced by the courts:
Suppose an act innocuous, or positively beneficial, be prohibited by the sovereign under the penalty of death; if I commit this act, I shall be tried and condemned, and if I object to the sentence, that it is contrary to the law of God, who has commanded that the human lawgivers shall not prohibit acts which have no evil consequences, the Court of Justice will demonstrate the inconclusiveness of my reasoning by hanging me up, in pursuance of the law of which I have impugned the validity.
— The Province of Jurisprudence Determined
Between these two theories of law, legal positivism is the more persuasive legal theory for many people. As critical theorists frequently argue, there is no "God's eye view" from which society can ascertain any moral truths, such as those necessary to ground an ahistorical view of morality. Simply, there is nothing to see "correctly"; there are only shifting webs of contingency. This position does not make critical theorists moral skeptics, at least insofar as that term connotes a negative or irrational quality. As discussed below, questions of morality are extremely important in thinking about law, but they are important in ways that are different than in an essentialist search for moral certainty, understanding, or philosophical clarity. Notions of certainty, understanding, and clarity are important ends for scientific research, but they are less useful or attainable in the pragmatic legal criticism advocated here. Similar to Vaclav Havel's sense of politics in The Art of the Possible (1997), my sense of legal criticism derives "from a strong and utterly personal sense of responsibility for the world, a politics deriving from the awareness that none of us — as an individual — can save the world as a whole, but that each of us must behave as through it were in his power to do so."
Legal positivism, however, is an incomplete system of legal philosophy. Although the issue of the separation of law and morality may be important for an academic discussion of the "nature" of law, the practice of legal criticism does not depend on theoretical orthodoxy. Pragmatic approaches to legal criticism are viable. A social critic of law can acknowledge that human morality is contingent and unconnected to legal norms, and, at the same time, recognize that humans impose moral norms. These moral norms can serve as a ground for which the morality of a law can be judged. Under this view, slavery is wrong, but not because slavery is an "unnatural" human social position or because slavery displeases God. Rather, slavery is wrong because slavery is hurtful, degrading, selfish, and repugnant, leading to militarism, heightened internal security, and to the impoverishment of the non-slave labor community. Slavery, in a pragmatic sense, is counter-productive to a world in which peace, prosperity, mutuality, social stability, and interdependence between all people should be considered normative values. The same can be written about Nazism, the subject that follows.
Pragmatic Legal Criticism: An Example
The punishment of Nazi war criminals following the Second World War provided a high-profile instance in which legal theorists were able to study the separation of law thesis. Natural law was central to the legal theory of the prosecution. The prosecution had to rely on natural law theory because most of the actions of the defendants were recognized as being legal under the judicial system of the Third Reich. In fact, the Nazi defendants actively evoked logical positivism in defense of their actions. This defense was rejected, and natural law theorists proclaimed a victory over logical positivism. Such reliance on natural law to condemn the defendants was arguably misguided. Although the Nazi leadership clearly deserved punishment, there is significant reason to doubt the motives and innocence of the governments sitting in judgment of the defendants. When contemplating the issue of justice, we should remember that the power to punish is not the same as the power to effectuate justice.
The fact that many hundreds of Nazis responsible for horrible atrocities were not punished due to their utility in fighting the Soviet Union and advancing US military science indicates that the Allies (minus the USSR) were not as disgusted with the Nazis as the public discourse surrounding the trials suggests. This, along with atrocities committed by the Allies themselves (before, during, and after the war), suggests that punishing the Nazis had less to do with justice, and more to do with justifying the victors' political priorities. Thus, the Nuremberg trials were disingenuous, undermining the ground on which an appeal to natural law is situated. Specifically, by cloaking their expression of power in the language of natural justice, the Allied victors created a self-serving good versus evil dichotomy. A person can be steadfastly anti-fascist and still argue that the Second World War was not a battle between "good" and "evil." The defeat of fascism was necessary, but not because the Fascists were morally wrong and the Allies morally right. Rather, compared to the Allies, the Fascists were more vicious, cruel, and reprehensible. The fight against fascism was not grounded in "justice" but in necessity. For many millions of people, living on the same planet with the Fascists was simply not possible. People who desire to attach the label of "evil" to the practices of the Nazis should be prepared to make similar arguments about their own societies. The Nazis were different only in the degree to which they practiced their cruelty and intolerance. Because people typically do not engage critically with the selfishness and crimes of their own society, their natural law discourse often rings hollow.
The Allies did not need a theory of justice to punish the Nazis, as much Nazi behavior invited retribution and vengeance. The problem is not that the Allies punished some Nazis but that they willfully let many others go unpunished for political reasons. The same is true for the Allied treatment of the Japanese leadership during the war. Very few of the Japanese (who were as cruel and murderous as the Nazis in their treatment of the Chinese, Koreans, and other Asian peoples they conquered) were punished, as most were enlisted in the new struggle against the mainland Chinese Communists who emerged from the war in control of China (as well as the communists who controlled North Korea).
Concluding Pragmatically
Using African slavery and the Nuremberg trials as examples, we have reviewed the debates surrounding conflicting influences of natural law and positive law, rejecting the rhetoric of both in favor of a pragmatic critique of social injustice. This pragmatic concern rejects metaphysical and positivist rationales and rests on the assumption that an inclusive concern for the well-being and equality of all people is preferable to any system in which individual interest (e.g., greed and selfishness) become the basis for the social, political, and legal orders. It encourages people to offer critiques of specific laws based on standards that offend their moral imaginations, and not on some abstract moral standard or legal principle. Fundamental to this task is for critics to use language that people can rally behind to enact pragmatic and imaginative visions of social justice.

Mudflats previously existed in place of the SoDo stadium district, south of Downtown. The Duwamish tribesmen crossed to mainland over sandbars where the Pioneer Square is now built. When you now arrive on the shores of Seattle, you marvel at the feat of environmental engineering and agree that part of Seattle's diversity indeed exists in its topography.
- The landscape of Seattle was literally changed by its residents once the city started to grow. The Belltown neighborhood's huge Denny Hill had to go when Seattle changed. It took 35 years beginning 1899 for the city to "regrade". Many projects were undertaken, one being the construction of canal that links lake Washington to Puget Sound. The construction of a light rail line across the city has once again started the earth moving process and this is changing the look and feel of the neighborhoods around. Be a witness to the rapid changes taking place by booking last minute flight deals Seattle.
- Take a stroll or browse a bookstore; enjoy a cup of coffee or just relax on the bench of the parks do whatever gives you enjoyment in Seattle. Make yourself comfortable and gradually start getting the feeling of what life is in Seattle.
- But that doesn't classify Seattle to having nothing natural. The myriad hills devoid of settlement offer mystic views of mountain ranges and water everywhere. In the outskirts of downtown and other small commercial cores, the neighborhoods come out and occupy the tree-lined streets. Seattle has an impressive list of huge parks like the Discovery, Magnuson and Washington Park Arboretum which makes it one of the greenest and most livable cities in the United States. To witness the green cover everywhere takes this opportunity of cheap airfare to Seattle Washington. From the natural beauty of the peaks of Olympics and Cascades to the man-made artistically landscaped garden in front of a royal Northwest bungalow, nature is in full effect every time of the year.

Every year I vow that I will be more organised next Christmas but it never seems to happen. The truth is that I love Christmas. And I think I actually enjoy the chaos of it all. I love shopping when Slade is on a loop. I enjoy wrapping the presents with a glass of Baileys and Love Actually on tv for company. I love battling my way around Waitrose in search of Heston's reindeer dropping flavoured custard.
But this year, I am accidentally more organised than I ever intended to be or indeed ever have been in my whole life! Give or take a couple of presents, my shopping is all done. In fact, most of the presents are wrapped already and squirrelled away. I have still enjoyed it just as much. I have loved every bit of the shopping and I must confess that the shops being that much quieter than they are about to get, made it even better. Having the house to myself with the children all at school now has meant that I have been able to spend whole days (yes days plural!) lovingly wrapping each present. Of course it means that the shops still have all the best wrapping paper, bows and ribbons on sale and I'm not running out and having to resort to using whatever the shop has left. This pleases me probably more than it should but I put as much effort into the wrapping of my presents as I put into the choosing of the gift. I'm a weirdo like that.
I always thought that being super organised would take some of the fun out of Christmas somehow but it really hasn't. I was synchronising diaries with Mr Mostly yesterday and although I am still quite sure that there are not enough days in December, the sight of a full diary isn't quite as daunting as it might have been. Between my four children, I will be spending most of the month sat at the back of a school hall. Not that I am complaining of course. I know how lucky I am to be at every single nativity play and carol concert having been the working mum in a previous life who used to miss out on all of this stuff. But I can actually sit back and look forward to enjoying every single packed day ahead knowing that the lion's share of the work is done.
To be fair, I am only this organised by accident and I'm still not quite sure how I got so far ahead of myself so don't go asking me for my top tips. But it actually feels great to be organised for once. And yes, maybe even a teeny tiny bit smug.

That little shot of rain seems to have done the trick. For the first time this season, just about all of the coastal rivers are starting to see winter steelhead show up in decent numbers. From the Chetco to the Eel, the reports have all been good. Boats drifting the Chetco are landing one to three fish a day, with some scoring two-fish limits. After a couple weeks of tough fishing, the Smith bounced back over the weekend and fished well. In Humboldt, the Mad is full of steelhead, and back anglers put the hurt on 'em pretty good over the weekend. The main stem Eel turned green on Saturday, and quite a few fish were reportedly caught on Sunday. And the conditions should only get better. Following a dry weekend, we're right back into a rainy pattern beginning on Monday. It's safe to say steelhead season is in full swing here on the North Coast.
Weather ahead
"It looks like we'll have one more system move through the area, then we'll be dry for a couple days", said Ryan Aylward of Eureka's National Weather Service. "A system will move through the area on Thursday, with the majority of the rain falling in the Smith basin. Up to an inch could fall in the hills, with a half inch expected on the coast. In Humboldt, we won't see much, maybe a quarter in the hills and less on the coast. We're looking dry Friday through Sunday, but a change in the pattern will start on Monday. A couple fronts will hit the area between Monday and Wednesday, dropping up to six inches in the hills of Del Norte and three in the lower elevations. In Humboldt, we could see up to three inches over the three-day period in the higher elevations, and an inch falling near the coast. The wet pattern doesn't change much after Wednesday, it's looking like we'll have above normal rainfall for the next week or so."
Humboldt Steelhead Days kickoff party this Saturday
Humboldt Steelhead Days Kick-Off Party and Pints for Non-Profits event will be held at the Mad River Brewing Co., Tap Room on Saturday, Jan. 13 from 5 p.m. till 10 p.m.

You can register to enter the fishing contest and talk to HSD event coordinators and other anglers. Learn more about the two rivers we'll be fishing (Mad and Trinity) and pick up more information about the other events during HSD. A Limited Edition Humboldt Steelhead Days hoodie and hat will be raffled off, with plenty of items for sale. The band Ghost Train will play later in the evening and every pint sold will be donated to Humboldt Steelhead Days.

The Rivers
Chetco River >> "The Chetco has been in good shape since Saturday, with decent numbers of steelhead spread throughout the river," said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. "It blew out on Friday with muddy water from this summer's fire, but had great color and flows since. There are quite a few hatchery fish. My customers were able to get their two-fish limits on Sunday and a couple more on Monday. The Chetco's flow gauge had been malfunctioning, but was repaired early Tuesday afternoon. The river is expected to rise late this week but should remain fishable if flows stay below 3,000 cfs. The predication is around 2,900 cfs on Friday."
Smith River >> The Smith fished well over the weekend, and Monday too, but it's gotten a little tougher the last couple days reports Mike Coopman of Mike Coopman's Guide Service. "The rise we had earlier in the week definitely brought in some fish, we've been seeing them in the tail outs, but the bite has been tough. The water got a little color, but it's still pretty clear. The next rise, which is looking like Thursday and Friday, should bring in a bunch more fish and add some more color to the water. It should be a good weekend."
Eel River (main stem) >> The main stem was fishable up until Tuesday, but it's high and off color as of Wednesday reports Paul Grundman of Rio Dell's Grundmans Sporting Goods. "Quite a few boats were out over the weekend, and there's definitely some fish around. The river has peaked and is dropping, and it could fish later in the weekend or by Monday," Grundman said.
Eel River (South Fork) >> The South Fork opened back up to fishing earlier in the week, and was on the rise for a couple days. It finally peaked at just over 3,000 cfs on the Miranda gauge on Tuesday afternoon. It's predicted to drop quickly, getting down to 500 cfs by Saturday afternoon. Darren Brown of Brown's Sporting Goods in Garberville reports the river was dirty all the way to Piercy on Wednesday.
Van Duzen >> According to Grundman, the Van Duzen is off color from the rain, but also on the drop. "My guess is it will be fishable above Yager Creek by the weekend," Grundman added.
Mad River >> The increased flows brought quite a few fish up the ladder on Tuesday reports Jens Hansen of Mad River Tackle in Arcata. He said, "Prior to the rain, the fishing was excellent, especially on Saturday. Some of the bankies who know what they're doing reported up to 10 hookups. Flows peaked at 1,700 cfs on Tuesday and it looks like a bunch of fish came into the river. The river was just starting to turn on Wednesday, and should be somewhat green by Thursday or Friday. The river should be in great shape by the weekend and the fishing should be excellent."
