Hi, I realise this is an old thread but I was hoping I could get some help..
Every single option under F8 sends me to the repair screen, so I tried the troubleshoot posted, however, when I hit the "view advanced options for system recovery and support" nothing happens. The box will vanish and I'm left staring at the background screen, eventually the computer will just shut itself off. Is there another way to get command prompt up so I may try to repair as per the suggestion? I'd rather not lose everything on my hardrive.
If you like, you could use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below with either a Windows 7 installation disc or Windows 7 System Repair Disc to open a command prompt at boot.
Command Prompt at Startup
Hope this helps, :)

As it happens, persistence helped in this situation, after several attempts the options eventually loaded and I was able to load command prompt. I had an i/o error at step 12 but continued anyway. The troubleshoot worked and the computer booted. I'm currently backing everything up now before handling the new hard drive issue.
thanks again :)

Hi, I have an issue where anything I do leads me to the startup repair screen. Even if I get into safe mode, it shows the safe mode background but still has the startup repair screen. Sometimes startup repair finishes and reboots and sometimes it freezes at "windows is loading files".
Also I put the hard drive in another computer and it yielded to he same results.
Anyway, I used a recovery disk and was able to get the system recovery options (although I have no disk image or restore point). I tried this command prompt method and went through all the steps and then rebooted. It didn't work.
BEFORE I did the cmd method, I had my main C: with all the program and user data. I also had an A: partition with other things. But seeing as the method didnt work, I took some other advise which was to type notepad in cmd and then press 'save as' which allowed me to look at my directory, which is now a mess.
NOW, It seems like my A: turned into my C:, while my original C: has disappeared. All i have is a mysterious D: that says its 100% full yet it is empty when I go into the folder. Im thinking this is my missing original C:.
My suspicion is that this 'windows startup repair cmd method' has somehow wiped my drive because before it was definitely there.
Now I am using Easeus recovery (through a usb drive) to see if I can extract anything from the D:.
Can anyone tell me why my A: got turned into the C: and why my original C: has turned into a corrupted D:? Im pretty sure it happened because I used this command prompt startup repair 'fix'.

my friend dual-booted 8 and 7 and he has no idea what he did!
my problem is it had a bitlocked drive in my windows 7 and it was inaccessible in 8 and couldn't start its 7 so I tried this tutorial and fixed the boot; when I started its 7 the bitlocked drive was formatted and empty
I wanted to know does this process affect bitlocker and overwrites its ,I don't know, information and cause it to be formatted automatically or the data is lost at some other point

Well since no one has decided to help, I'll put an alternative method for those who just want to extract all their data from their hard drive before playing around with this command prompt method which ended up wiping out my drive.
1. Follow this method to extract your data easily: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
2. Now, say your hard drive hasn't failed and is still capable of being used. I'd recommend using your installation CD to reformat your hard drive now that you have recovered the data you need. If you are desperate to not reformat it, THEN try the method in the first post in the thread.
3. Say something wrong happened when you used the method provided in the first post, and startup repair still pops up. IF your data was somehow wiped (which happened to me, and thus destroyed my hard drive). From another computer download 'Easeus data recovery' (recommended) or any other data recovery data software you see fit and copy the setup files into a USB. Repeat step 1 and go to command prompt like before on the pc with the failed hard drive. Open up notepad. Go to your USB and then install the data recovery software and then scan your hard drive. If you're fortunate, all the data will be recovered. Then, if needed, buy a new hard drive. These days, it's not that expensive.
I know this is slightly deviating in regards to the startup repair issue, but in the end, all we want is to extract our important data. Once you've got it, it's best just reformatting the hard drive instead of wasting hours trying to fix the startup repair loop.

Thank You
I feared the worst when I was stuck in the repair loop and couldn't do a system restore. Followed the guide to the letter and it was easy as anything to do. Able to get onto my laptop and back up all the important stuff before I investigate the root of the problem.
This information has saved me much stress and (probably money). I will be forever thankful for your selfless act of creating this guide.

Hi guys,
I believe no one had this problem yet.
After following all steps my computer restarted and windows seemed to start perfectly, however, I get the message that "Windows Explorer couldn't find D:\...\Desktop" and enters on another loop where I'm unable to do anything.
I believe none of the drivers are loaded, I can't connect to internet or any network, I can't use my mouse. So everything I actually "can" do is via keyboard.
If I try to open the widows explorer it freezes after a few seconds. All this under normal or safe mode.
But the main problem I think is if I start on safe mode with command prompt, none of the commands are recognized! So I can't use the backup I created on the steps to revert it back to the previous loop problem.
Any suggestions?
Including how to create a copy of some important files (not that many, apart from some photos) before reinstalling windows, but I would be really happy if I could save the time and trouble of reinstalling all softwares I use.
Thanks a lot!

I followed the steps to manually replace the Windows 7 Registry Hives and it work!!! Thanks a million.
A note to add, during the "startup repair is checking your problems" running, it ran forever and even by clicking cancel, it said it can't be stopped or something similar.
So the next time I restarted PC again, once the box "startup repair is checking your problems" appeared, I QUICKLY click cancel and only then it came out with different pop up box messages and eventually I got the options "View advanced options for system recovery and support" which allow me to follow through the steps in this forum, which work!
Btw, at first I couldn't find my system drive in C: or D:, but my PC really only have these 2 partitions, and just as I thought my C drive has corrupted, then I tried E:, and it's there! I don't understand, but anyway, it works.
The only hiccups is that at first, after follow through the step on replacing the Windows 7 Registry Hives, during 1st attempt of restart, it still failed. Then I went into BIOS (press F2 during start up) to change the harddisk configuration back from IDE to AHCI. (I changed it from AHCI to IDE when follow through another tutorial I found on other forum before I found this tutorial in this forum) and VOILA!

You should be fine to do the tutorial if you are still getting a startup repair loop.
Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery
Hopefully your files may show up afterwards. If not, and you are able to boot into Windows, then you might see if you may be able to recover your files with Previous Versions and/or Recuva.
Hello Sir Brink. Long time, no read. I forgot to Update what happened to the Dell Inspiron that had the Deadly Repair Infinite Loop.
First, I had to remove the Hard Drive and it was quite challenging. You almost needed a Masters in Electronic Engineering to do it because Dell decided that you shouldn't mess with a PC that they made and sold it to you. In other words, it's not really yours and you must pay hard dough for a Stupid 3 year warranty.
After removing and connecting the HD to another PC, I used numerous recovery softwares to see if I would get lucky. I used DiskDigger, Recuva, Glary Undelete, Pandora Recovery, FreeUndelete, Undelete 360, Avir, EaseUS Data Recovery and Orion File Recovery. Of all those, I fared better with Glary Undelete (Excellent) and Undelete 360. Recuva was OK but not the best, Pandora was also OK and DiskDigger is quite good but it has one little defect: it names all the recovered files Sectornnnn.
After I finished using all those programs aforementioned, I put the HD back into the Dell Laptop. Then I followed the instructions from the Repair Infinite Loop Tutorial. When I rebooted the Laptop, the dreaded Loop was still with me. The only difference was that this time, I couldn't see the System Restore Points that I had before. Since I already "recovered" what I needed, I decided to do the Dell Recovery with the DVD's I created to bring it to Factory New, like Dell sold it to me. Now it's working, the Bluetooth (the main culprit for all this mess) works without any need to update it. It also has a Driver for the Samsung Galaxy S3 (the other culprit) so there's no need to use the Bluetooth to transfer files from the Android to the PC and vice versa.
Thanks for your suggestions and sorry that it took me this long to update my situation. Thanks to everyone that commented here. Take care.....

Carson City, Nevada (PRWEB) August 19, 2015
Paradise Publishers Inc. has teamed up once again with QVC®, the world's leading video and ecommerce retailer, to offer the e-GO! Library AudioBook Bundle (QVC Item # E284479). It's the second product of Paradise Publishers that QVC has offered to shoppers. The first, which is still available on QVC.com was the e-GO! Library USB Memory Stick, which features 1,000 of the most popular independently published eBooks and 250 classic titles. The e-GO! Library was so popular upon its launch in July that it sold out in its first week. Now, for shoppers who might want to listen instead of read, the e-GO! AudioBook Bundle is currently available on QVC.com.
Nicolas Gremion, CEO of Paradise Publishers Inc. says he understands why the AudioBook Bundle has been such a success.
"In general, audiobooks are expensive so they aren't as popular as eBooks" he explains. "They cost more to produce and that makes it more expensive for customers. The average audiobook is usually $15-25 per title. That's why the e-GO! Audio Library, is so popular. Instead of $20 dollars on average, these titles are about 20 cents each. That's what makes this USB audio library far more affordable for insatiable readers, or more accurately, insatiable listeners."
Gremion goes on to explain that not every book lover can always make the time to read a book; however, they might have time to listen.
"For many readers, audiobooks help them enjoy their time when they're on public transportation, working out, driving, cooking or pursuing other activities where their ears are open, but their eyes and hands are doing other things," he points out.
The e-Go! AudioBook Bundle contains 550 classic titles in English, spans several genres and has already sold out its first run on Paradise Publishers' website. Gremion feels another key reason for the audiobook USB success is the convenience factor. It arrives preloaded so listeners don't need to spend hours downloading content. It contains nearly 29GB of data or roughly 2,000 hours of audiobooks.
"Summer is often the time people want to be outdoors," explains Gremion. "The last thing people want to do is be stuck in the house downloading books that they can take to the beach or on vacation. This USB is ready-made so they just put it in their pocket and go."
That same portability, Gremion claims, is what makes it ideal for those who are going to be traveling to remote locations where Wi-Fi reception is limited or non-existent.
"With the e-GO! Audio Library, audiobook listeners can take cruises and go camping; essentially enjoy everything about vacationing. And since it's in MP3 format, the audiobooks can be played on all listening devices such as iPhones, iPads, Androids and mp3 players, like Sony Walkman."
Gremion says his goal with the company is twofold. The first goal is to save people time by creating an affordable product that means less browsing, downloading and upload audiobook content. The second is making something that allows people to enjoy more books.
"I believe we've achieved that balance," says Gremion. "I am happy that QVC has given us the opportunity to share our goal of providing convenient and affordable books to the masses."

The ticket revenue will cover 80 percent of the $100 million, according to the report.
Approximately 240,000 people are expected to attend the Grand Prix, one of two Formula 1 races planned for the United States next year as part of the Circuit of the Americas. The last F1 race in the area was the 1980 United States Grand Prix, which was held in upstate New York.

This colorway can be highly variable, so feel free to give us a call for a current description of what we have, or if you have any questions about the color.

ATLANTA (AP) The Atlanta Falcons have reached contract agreements with their first two NFL draft picks, offensive tackle Jake Matthews and defensive end Ra'Shede Hageman.
The team now has agreements with seven of its nine picks.
Matthews, the sixth overall pick from Texas A&M, will play right tackle with the Falcons and could earn a starting job as a rookie.
Hageman, Atlanta's second-round pick, played defensive tackle at Minnesota and began work at end in last week's rookie minicamp.
The terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
The Falcons previously announced the signings of five draft picks: cornerback Ricardo Allen and linebackers Prince Shembo, Marquis Spruill, Yawin Smallwood and Tyler Starr.

From Minnesota, USA:
My son, who is 9 years old, was diagnosed 2 years ago. Right now we are using a SureStep Meter. Is there anything better out there or would you still recommend this for children? What type of lancet device do most children use? Is there a gentle one you would recommend?
Children with Diabetes has reviews of blood test meters to help you make a decision on the best meter for your son. See the discussion of Blood Glucose Meters
The SureStep is not recommended by Children with Diabetes because other meters offer better features for children, notably small blood drop requirements. In addition, early models of the SureStep have been recalled due to a potentially dangerous software programming flaw that reports an error condition when blood sugar levels are extremely high.
Lancing devices and lancets are reviewed at Lancets and Lancing Devices.
For kids, an adjustable lancing device offers the most flexibility. Many new lancets are thinner than older models and are therefore less painful. Just be sure that your lancing device works with your lancets.

Karnataka: Congress learns lesson, vows clean govt
Taking its cue from the Karnataka voter who ousted the BJP government over corruption, the Congress high command is understood to have told its chief minister, Siddaramaiah, to keep tainted MLAs at bay. Naveen Ammembala reports.india Updated: May 15, 2013 01:20 IST
Taking its cue from the Karnataka voter who ousted the BJP government over corruption, the Congress high command is understood to have told its chief minister, Siddaramaiah, to keep tainted MLAs at bay.
The buzz in party circles is that the emphasis is also on keeping the core group 'young' (read below 70) and first-time MLAs out of the cabinet.
The party president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi are particularly keen on a populist and clean government in the face of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, according to sources.
If implemented, the move is sure to ruffle some feathers.
Party sources said Karnataka heavyweights, including DK Shivakumar, R Roshan Baig and the Lad cousins (Anil Lad and Santosh Lad) are a worried lot.
And they have a reason to be worried. Shivakumar was indicted by the Lokayukta over illegal denotification of land and in cases of illegal granite mining.
Baig, who was in former CM SM Krishna's cabinet, had to resign when his name cropped up in the multi-crore fake stamp paper case. Mining barons of Bellary, the Lads might invite the wrath of opposition leaders in the new assembly.
First-timers Priyank Kharge (Mallikarjuna Kharge's son) and Ajay Kumar Singh (N Dharam Singh's son), who were hoping to ride piggyback into the council of ministers, may be in for disappointment, too.
At 81, Shamanur Shivashankarappa is too old to be considered. Party's state president G Parameshwara, meanwhile, has prepared a list of names to be included in the Siddaramaiah cabinet.
Parameshwara, who is already in Delhi, sources say, is working on ensuring proper representation to various regions and castes while taking into consideration seniority, too.
Siddaramaiah is set to join him on Wednesday to finalise the names in consultation with Sonia, Rahul and the Prime Minister. Sources said the first list would name 20 ministers.
CM meets Chidambaram
Union finance minister P Chidambaram met Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru on Tuesday and assured financial assistance to the state for development projects.
Later, the CM told media it was a courtesy visit.
"I have brought some state-related development issues to the notice of the finance minister," he said.

Crafts Made From Beachcombing Finds
Recycling Crafts
Making crafts with found items collected on vacation make great souvenirs and are fun to create with kids or grandkids. Our family loves to collect seashells and have ended up with quite a few baggies full. We also pick up shells along the Great Lakes as well. When we hike we often find interesting tidbits bits, like acorn caps, pretty leaves , stones, arrow heads or even a tiny skull once in a while.
We haul our treasures out when the kids start getting bored at the end of summer break from school. This is when it's fun to remember where we found the items and get creative with ways to use them to make crafts.
Picture Frames are the favorites because we can put photos from the trip where we collected the items in the frames we've made. Seashell frames are beautiful mementos of tips to the beach. Purchase plain wooden frames from a craft store, or find them at garage sales or thrift shops. The color or design doesn't matter as you'll be covering them up. We paint our frames white for shells as it seems to make them show up best and looks good if there are spaces between shells. Lay the frame in front of you and place your bits and pieces around the edges until you like the way they look. Then glue your items on, starting at the upper left corner and work your way around. I usually take the finished frames outside and spray them with a couple of coats of spray-on clear sealer. A wee bit of silver, white or gold glitter adds a whimsical touch, but just a little or the frame will look fake and cheap.
Small framed mirrors are also good for this project and look particularly nice on bathroom walls.
Find an old cigar box or purchase one at the craft store. Line the inside with felt and glue it down. Paint the outside of the box, we've used flat black or brown to go with the natural items we glued to them, but you can use whatever color you like. Aqua is nice for a sea-shell theme. Place a photo from your trip (or a copy) in the center of the lid (or wherever you like) and glue it in place. Place your twigs, leaves, seeds, acorns, acorn caps, peoples, and even little bones or arrow heads on the box lid until you find a pleasing design. Then glue each item in place, it's sort of like putting a puzzle together. Spray the completed project with two coats of clear sealer.
Use an empty soup can or any suitable sized can. Paint it or cover it with fabric like burlap or something natural looking. Follow the same procedure as for the frames or treasure box. I made one by using small twigs placed vertically around the can, which looks really decorative and natural.
These crafts are great because they combine memories, free (found) objects and everyone enjoys making them and remembering the vacation or outing.
A Cordless GLue Gun Makes Crafing Much Easier!
A cordless glue gun makes it possible to craft anywhere - on site at the beach, in the woods, on the front portch. It's great! we did not have one when this photo was taken and I ended up having to borrow an extension cord from the rental property owner when we were on vacation. Also, the cords on glue guns are ridiculously short - cordless is the way to go!
Hi Pat I love these crafty ideas. Things of this sort cost so much to buy from a shop too, so this is a very affordable alternative for just a little bit of fun work. Voted up etc.
We used to do this as kids. We had a lamp with a tall plain base until we got our hands on it. There were no glue guns then though.
You have some good ideas to keep yourself and the kids amused.

The fight against the Syrian government and ISIS is nothing more than a game of Risk being played by Russia and America. President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton funded and armed ISIS (Benghazi 2012) to oust President Bashar al-Assad. Russia is backing the Syrian government. The Syrians and ISIS are pawns in a war about to explode.
Last week U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby laid down the gauntlet. He threatened attacks on Russian cities if they continued their fight against ISIS. To poke the bear even harder, he insinuated Russian aircraft would be shot down if they interfered.
"Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even aircraft," Kirby told reporters at Wednesday's press briefing, adding that if the war in Syria continues "more Russian lives will be lost, more Russian aircraft will be shot down."
Trending: The President's Beef with Stormy Daniels SOMEHOW Got Dumber
Washington has since been openly entertaining the idea of strikes against Syria. Russian defense ministry spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov stated in a briefing Thursday that any aircraft attacking the Syrian government forces would encounter resistance.
"I would recommend our colleagues in Washington to thoroughly consider the possible consequences of the realization of such plans."
Mainstream media outlets ignored Kirby's initial threat, deliberately not reporting on it. When covering Russia's response, they continued to protect Obama by failing to mention it again.
Vladimir Putin is backing up his warnings. Russia conducted evacuation drills with 40 million of its people this past week.
"'Federal agencies, heads of regions, local authorities and other organizations will take part in the massive exercise, which runs from October 4-7. The simulation will include 200,000 "professional rescue units" and 50,000 pieces of equipment,' reports Interfax."
Russia is telling their people they are preparing for a war with the United States. Obama is telling us ISIS is just upset because Global Warming has taken all their food and jobs.
We are witnessing a pissing contest between a man who hunts shirtless and a man who wears mommy jeans. This will not end well.
In the third 2012 Presidential debate, Obama snidely quipped about a statement Gov. Mitt Romney made regarding America's biggest geopolitical threat.
"Gov. Romney, I'm glad you recognize al-Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia — not al-Qaeda. And the 1980's are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."
Obama demeaned Romney but Romney has proven to be 100% correct. I, on the other hand, would have said Obama is our biggest threat. Mr. President, 2008 called and America wants the last 8 years back. Furthermore, 2009 called and wants its Peace Prize back.
Once again, Obama has put America on the wrong side of history. This time, we may pay dearly for it.
But that's just my 2 cents.

This I believe—your mother determines much of who you are. Your mother, whether she raises you or abandons you, will affect your life more than most of us would like to admit. At one point in all of our lives, we have felt like we hated, even loathed our own mother. Maybe when she made us go to bed without dinner, or told us we couldn't watch a certain scary movie. Whatever the case, most people feel like myself, and cannot deny that we see our own mothers in ourselves.
My mother is one tough bitch. She is 5'9 and currently almost 250 pounds. She was raised with crazy religious parents, moving from little house to little house, never having electricity or television. She even had to sew her own underwear. She was one of those who somehow had a route to school which made her go uphill both ways. She had a father who found it necessary to keep his woman and children in line, even if that meant beating them with a stick. She grew up poor, and forcibly obedient, and never was accepted in school. She was embarrassed on a daily basis—forced to wear hand-me-downs from decades earlier.
It seems my poor mother found her true self at the age of 18, when she finally escaped the suffocating clutches of her mother and father. She enrolled at a University, and readily moved states away from her family. In college she found she was likable. She quickly made friends who found her charming and even funny. She realized that underneath the scared, poorly dressed girl with no self esteem, was a beautiful, mature woman, full of wisdom and understanding.
My mother very quickly got married to my dear father, and quickly began to pursue the American dream. She started to pop out kids yearly, seeming to learn more and more with each. I unfortunately, was number four, and was born unto an experienced, well adjusted mother.
I soon began to learn that my mom was different than most other moms. I used to be so jealous of my friends who were allowed to chew gum, drink soda, eat white bread and even sliced processed cheese. I became aware when I was still in elementary school that I dressed differently than the other children, and it seemed no one else shopped for "new" school clothes at Savers or Deseret Industries.
My mother frequently said things that I'm sure millions of mothers have said for decades. When one of her kids were crying without a good enough reason, she would not so kindly tell us to shut up or she would gladly give us something to cry about. When we would tell her dramatically we were in so much pain we were dying, she would tell us to die quietly.
My mother didn't believe in band-aids. The only time they were deemed necessary is if there was a puddle of blood forming on her floor. My mother didn't believe in cable television or video games, so while everyone else was playing Super Nintendo and watching Nickelodeon, my brothers and sister and I would be watching The Sound of Music.
My dear mum focused us all on reading; my earliest memories of her are her reading me to sleep. For this reason I have many favorite children's books, and have read more than many people 10-20 years older than I am. I have a deep love of reading, and am currently an aspiring writer, and I believe that both of which are all due to my mom.
Even though my father was a successful college professor through much of my childhood, we always lived as if we were poor. Christmas and birthdays were always little affairs. My mother always cooked conventionally, and we very rarely went out to eat. My mother cooked wonderfully however, and at least I can say we always ate well.
My mother was the epitome of tough love. Through all of her brittle roughness, you can't help but see that she is kind and forgiving, and that everything she did for her children she thought was for our best. This woman, who I am honestly still a little afraid of to this day, taught me to love unconditionally. She taught me to give no shit, and most definitely take no shit. She taught me to respect everyone, even those who seemed not to deserve my respect. She taught me to crave the greater things in life—not fame or riches, but a family and knowledge. I feel I am the woman I am today because of her great love and wisdom, and couldn't be proud of myself if it wasn't for all that she taught me. I owe her my being, my personality, and my balance—and probably will never be able to tell her so. It would be hard to express into words face to face with that daunting woman my gratitude, to the only person I would be proud to call my mother.
I am on the verge of motherhood myself, and am afraid and naïve being only 19. I can only pray that this child in my belly will think of me as I think of my mom, and that I can teach him or her all the helpful things my mother so graciously taught me.

Top 10 Most Pirated Movies and TV Shows of 2011. The honor of being one of the Top 10 Most Pirated Movies or TV Shows of 2011 is extremely dubious.The movie studios and TV networks are losing money on each and every film and TV program on this list (plus all the ones not on the list). Why? That is one more peson who is not buying a movie ticket or paying for a premium TV channel.
Regarding the top ten pirated movies of 2011:
With over 9 million downloads Fast Five leads our list of most shared movies on BitTorrent in 2011, leaving The Hangover II and Thor behind in second and third place respectively.
The total number of downloads for Fast Five pales in comparison to last year's victor Avatar which was downloaded more than 16 million times. This downward trend is also visible throughout the rest of the top 10, where the average number of downloads is lower than in 2010.
In part this drop might be explained by the increase in legal alternatives, although upcoming alternative piracy sources (such as cyberlockers and steaming sites) may have also had an effect. However, since the total number of active BitTorrent users isn't shrinking, the downloads may simply be spread out over more titles in 2011.

Regarding the top ten pirated TV shows of 2011:
With 3,620,000 downloads per single episode, Dexter has the honor of becoming the most pirated TV-show of the year.
Despite the fact that Dexter and runner-up Game of Thrones have more downloads than television viewers in the US, the overall number of TV-show downloads is leveling off.
The percentage of TV-show downloaders, from the US in particular, has steadily declined in recent years. This is in part thanks to alternative viewing options such as Hulu and Netflix. In other regions, such as Australia and Europe, the demand for US TV-shows remains strong.

Security alarms is not really something which should basically be concerned with after something happens. Taking all the necessary precautions before hand will prevent your house from transforming into a target. Below are great tips that will help you make your house protected from people who would like to steal your valuables.
When acquiring a home security systems system, you should consider if we have seen one previously installed. Should this be the way it is, you can easily have a cheaper or easier installation by choosing to complement what was done before. Keep in mind that this may be a wired or wireless installation.
It's crucial that you look around prior to choose the right burglar alarm system for your home. Wild variations in pricing can exists for similar security products. Make an effort to get a couple of quotes before making a choice.
Buy your garage clean. Homeowners often use their garage for storage, filling it so full you could will no longer fit an auto in. Parking your vehicle within the garage can foil potential thieves in many ways. First of all, they will struggle to break into your vehicle. Additionally, whenever your car is hidden away inside the garage, it can be harder to track whether you are actually home or otherwise.
Be sure to unplug all of the appliances that can cause a fire hazard after you are carried out with them. Irons, stoves and toasters should all be unplugged, as electricity can flow at a very high rate if left plugged in. This can prevent a fire or electrocution in your home.
Ensure that you have smoke alarms in each and every sector of your house to be safe at all times. This is important since you will need some kind of notification when you are sleeping and unable to see that a fire is occurring. If you have a 1 level house, one smoke alarm will suffice.
A huge downside to home security systems is having overgrown landscaping. Overgrown landscaping gives crooks shelter when breaking into your home. All your doors and windows will be able to be seen through the streets with out bushes covering them. Also throughout the yard, do not let your landscaping to develop to a degree where thieves can hide.
Install outside lighting to deter intruders, particularly if live on a dark street or even a rural area. To conserve electricity and increase the surprise factor, install motion detecting light fixtures that only activate if you have activity. Mount these fixtures, using bright lights, at entrances as well as other potential points of unauthorized entry.
Some of the advantages of a tough wired home security systems system is that it is much more dependable than a wireless system. You will find no batteries to switch, as well as the system does not count on radio frequency waves. This simply means fewer false alarms which may mean a great in the event the police respond for absolutely no reason.
Ask a neighbor to view your property and acquire your mail if you are going on a trip for a week or maybe more. Burglars sometimes will verify how the mail or newspapers are turning up on the driveway. When your neighbor gets these ahead of time, it seems as if you are home.
Always lock your own home up tight. Even when you are just popping over to a neighbors house, you have to ensure your house is secure. Most break ins happen with no damage whatsoever - the thief just walks with an open door or slips through an open window somewhere.
Take care whom you give your keys to. Be especially careful with one-time contractors who work around your property. Make certain they are an established company. Some shadier contractors make duplicate keys to your home to break in easily later. Seek advice from the company resources in your neighborhood to assure the contractor's reputation is clean.
Well, you should feel better now! Take the information you might have learned, and work at obtaining the right home security system at your residence. You might be now equipped with all the current knowledge you have to get you began. Understand that you should employ everything to your great advantage.

As of 2015, the U.S. Postal Service does not offer free printable shipping labels for customers planning bulk mailings. Although USPS does offer a selection of free shipping supplies, the selection focuses mainly on envelopes and boxes for use with the Priority Mail service.
Major office supply retailers such as Staples offer broad selections of shipping labels. Many of these label products come in large packages that contain between 1,000 and 7,500 labels per box, making them ideal for use in large mailing projects.
Some label products are available from USPS, but the selection includes packages with up to 100 labels, which is relatively narrow as compared with the product selection at office stores.

I am an amateur photographer who is a native of British Columbia and photography is my passion. I use photography to relieve stress while freezing a moment in time. It is these moments in which I metamorphosize into self-expression through creative imagery. I use photography to relieve stress and to connect with nature. I love watching the animals and enjoy the serenity of the deep dense forest, the sound of the falling water, and the way the sun sneaks into the ocean at night. I taught myself composition and then I took an online course through The Photography Institute which enabled me to understand how photography is all about the manipulation of light.

Dear Chapter Members,
Fishing is often considered one of the most solitary pastimes. However, it is a great activity to share with someone, whether they are young or old, physically able or not, experienced or novice, fly fisher or not.
My father-in-law took me on many fishing adventures from Canada to Arkansas: we fished for any fish that we could catch. They were great experiences that we remembered together and embellished fondly, over and over. Towards the end of his life, I took him on closer adventures. While the scale and scope were much smaller, they were as special as our earlier, grander excursions. They too are part of my enduring memories of fishing and of him.
Go ahead, take someone fishing. Take them to a special place, urban or wild. We at TU are committed to the good health of cold water fisheries. Not much cold water in our Greater Boston Chapter area, you worry? Don't. Jamaica Pond, the Charles River, Hale Reservation, to name a fewprovide fish, beautiful places, and fishing memories to be made. But any water will do. Take advantage of the season - Go fish with someone!
Western Mass. Float Trips. The Dedham Orvis store has generously made fishing float trips with the Harrison Brothers available to members of GBTU. Join the Harrison Anglers for an incredible Float trip on Western Massachusetts' beautiful, fish-full Deerfield or Swift River.

TU Northeast Regional Meeting took place June 10-12, 2016 in Newbury, NH at Mount Sunapee Resort. GBTU was well represented by several Board members. Two board members made presentations at the program. Friday featured a hosted day of fishing on several nearby rivers: those who participated thought this was a great part of the weekend. There were workshops all day Saturday with a dinner and an informal flycasting competition in the evening. Sunday's meetings ended in the early afternoon with a group wrap up. If you are interested in TU and/or volunteering in the chapter, you might consider going to this program next year. Many thanks to Jeff Yates at TU National and other national staff for making the weekend productive, informative, and valuable. This was my first regional meeting and I enjoyed meeting other leaders from other states in the region.
GBTU Pasta Fest. The 2016 version of PastaFest this past April brought together over 100 attendees for an evening of camaraderie, a wonderful meal, and fun for a great cause. Participants enjoyed the good food of the Salemi Family (many thanks to them for their years of dedicated and delicious service!) and the live and silent auctions of trips, tackle, flies, and other items. The GBTU chapter raised record funds to help in its mission to conserve, preserve, and restore cold water fisheries.
Indian Hollow. The MA-RI Council's annual well-attended get together at Indian Hollow at the Westfield River took place on the weekend of May 20-22. Those who made the trip had a great time as usual and the raffle, auction and bake sale brought in much needed funds to the Council to continue its cold water conservation mission.
Cold Water, Cold Beer. Building on the success of this spring's collaborative event at the Harpoon Brewery in Boston's Seaport District, be on the lookout for an announcement for the fall version of this networking opportunity. Location to be announced but it will be as equally exciting and enticing as Harpoon.
Our Next GBTU Chapter Meeting will be in September, probably on the 3rd Monday of the month at Drumlin Farm. Meetings include a social hour and light dinner, a guest speaker, door prizes, and opportunities for you to become more active in the chapter. Just as we did at our spring meeting, we will have an informal fly casting session with several skilled fly casting instructors "on the grass" before the social hour. Come and learn, refine your technique or share your knowledge. Equipment provided. No experience necessary.
Contact GBTU Chapter President, Bill Pastuszek, firstname.lastname@example.com, for additional information on any of these activities or if you have interest in volunteering in any capacity, great or small. If you have experience teaching or training, your expertise would be welcome. See you on the water, and at our September meeting!

Make the Most of Your Traditional IRA
Investors have two options for their individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The first option is a traditional IRA, and the second option is a Roth IRA (named for the account's congressional sponsor), which features -- among other benefits -- the ability to receive tax-free earnings under certain circumstances. In this report, we'll discuss the features of the traditional IRA. You may want to review material outlining the Roth IRA - or talk to your financial planner - before you make a decision as to which IRA is right for you.
What Is a Traditional IRA?
An individual retirement account allows your investment earnings to grow tax-deferred until withdrawn, typically at retirement. Generally, if you have earned income or receive alimony, you can establish as many IRA accounts as you want prior to the tax year in which you reach age 70½. You may also have an IRA even if you participate in a qualified pension, profit-sharing, or other retirement plan. Your entire contribution may not be deductible on your income tax return, depending on your income and your eligibility for an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
IRAs offer two distinct advantages in terms of taxes: potential deductibility of contributions and tax deferral on investment earnings.
Rules on Contribution Limits
In 2013, the maximum annual contribution is $5,500 (in general, married couples filing jointly can contribute a total of $11,000, even if only one spouse has income). Thereafter, the contribution limit will be adjusted for inflation. Individuals aged 50 and older are now able to take advantage of "catch up" contributions to IRAs. The allowable catch-up contribution is $1,000 per year. Maximum contributions may not exceed earned income.
In addition, you can open an IRA or make contributions to an existing IRA as late as the deadline for filing a tax return for that year. That means you would have until April 2014 to make your 2013 IRA contribution.
Tax Treatment of IRAs
Contributions to a traditional IRA may or may not be deductible from your earned income in a given tax year depending on your situation. Income limits apply if either you or your spouse participates in an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. Deductibility is phased out over certain ranges of income as follows:
Traditional IRA Deductibility Phaseout Ranges for 2013*
$ in Thousands
|Single Filers
|Joint Filers
|Those covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan
|Those not covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan, but filing a joint return with a spouse who is covered
|*Based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI).
The Magic of Tax-Deferred Compounding
The ability to make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA can help your current tax situation. But you may want to invest in an IRA whether or not your contributions are deductible. Why? The real advantage of investing in an IRA is tax-deferred compounding of your investment earnings over the long term.
For example, if you had contributed $100 every month for 30 years to a tax-deferred IRA, then paid 25% tax on your withdrawals at retirement, you could have netted $112,522, assuming an 8% average annual rate of return. However, in an account that's taxed annually at a hypothetical rate of 25%, your total would have been only $100,954 -- almost $12,000 less just because you had to pay taxes up front!1
|Consider the Advantage of Tax Deferral
|As you evaluate the potential benefits of an IRA, consider the advantage of tax deferral. This chart shows the result when a hypothetical $100 monthly investment is made for 30 years in a tax-deferred plan versus the same investment taxed annually at a hypothetical rate of 25%, assuming an 8% average rate of return compounded monthly. If the final tax-deferred amount is withdrawn at retirement and taxed at a hypothetical rate of 25%, it exceeds the taxable final amount by nearly $12,000.
Change Jobs, But Keep Your Retirement Money
IRAs can also come in handy when you're about to leave jobs and need to move your 401(k) money. If your former employer requires that you withdraw your retirement money, you can move your distribution safely from your former employer's qualified retirement plan into a rollover IRA and avoid owing current income tax on the distribution.
If you choose to physically receive part or all of your money and do not replace the entire amount within 60 days, you will be subject to penalty fees and taxes on the amount kept.
Withdrawing From Your IRA
Generally, any distribution you receive from an IRA before the day you reach age 59½ is subject to a 10% penalty tax imposed by the IRS, in addition to federal and state income tax. Beginning at age 59½, you can withdraw money (of which any deductible contributions and investment earnings are taxable at your then-current income tax rate) from your IRA as desired without penalty, whether or not you are still employed.
But, as with any rule, there are exceptions. Distributions before age 59½ are not subject to the penalty tax under certain circumstances, including when:
- You become permanently disabled.
- You die before age 59½ and distributions are made to your beneficiary or estate after your death.
- You make withdrawals to pay deductible medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
- You make withdrawals for a qualified first-time home purchase (lifetime limit of $10,000).
- You make withdrawals to pay qualified higher education expenses for yourself, a spouse, children, or grandchildren.
Consult Your Financial Advisor
An IRA can become the cornerstone of your personal retirement savings program, providing the foundation for your financial security. That's why it is so important to start planning today. Consult with your financial advisor to help you determine how an IRA could help make your financial future more secure.
Points to Remember
- If you have earned income or alimony, you can establish as many IRA accounts as you want prior to the tax year in which you reach age 70½. Keep in mind, however, that you may be incurring annual account fees for each account, so maintaining multiple accounts may not be a prudent decision.
- Contribution limits are $5,500 or 100% of your earned income, whichever is less. Special "catch up" contributions of $1,000 are also available to individuals who are at least 50 years old. .
- You can open an IRA or make contributions to an IRA as late as the tax-filing deadline for that year.
- Income limits restricting the deductibility of contributions apply if either you or your spouse participate in an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan.
- A major advantage of investing in an IRA is tax-deferred compounding of earnings.
- By April 1 following the year in which you reach age 70½, you must begin withdrawals from your IRA.
- Individuals under the age of 59½ can make penalty-free withdrawals to pay college expenses for themselves, a spouse, children, or grandchildren.

?The lion of South Africa roars no more. Nelson Mandela, who emerged from prison after 27 long years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid as his country's first black president, passed away last night at his home in Johannesburg surrounded by his family members.
Mandela or Madiba, as he was fondly called, proved to be as much a symbol of South Africa's struggle against racial oppression as one of integrity and resilience when after being freed from prison in 1990 he negotiated a peaceful end to apartheid and urged forgiveness for the white government that had imprisoned him.
It doesn't come as a surprise that the man who was a phenomenon during his lifetime, is set to make history, even in death. Ever since the news of his demise, social media is aflutter with #RIPNelsonMandela trending on Twitter, Facebook full of Mandela posts and Google News showing close to 1,000 results on him. All publications, big or small, are digging out articles on him for their readers' information and interest. Not to be left behind, TV channels while news channels have gone berserk showing features around the leader, even the infotainment channels are competing with each other to come with even more special segments on the revolutionary-turned-prisoner-turned-president.
So, if National Geographic Channel is showcasing Mandela: His Life and Legacy on Saturday, December 7 at 11 pm and December 8 at 1 pm; Discovery is airing The Making Of Mandelaagain on 7 December at 9 pm and 8 December at 8 pm. Similarly, History TV18 is narrating the story of South Africa's political transformation under Mandela's leadership with Miracle Rising: South Africa airing tonight (9 pm) while TLC has a special line-up for audiences.
With Mandela having motivated Indians as much as he did the South Africans, television channels started digging for features as soon as they came to know about his passing away.
So what about the programmes that had been lined-up previously? "It's not easy, but I think in a highly competitive environment where viewer interest can be ephemeral it becomes almost mandatory," says A+E Networks TV18 VP and head marketing Sangeetha Aiyer, adding that they had to drop Hidden Cities at 9 pm and one of the channel's biggest shows - Pawn Stars at 10 pm from the regular line-up to accommodate the program on Mandela.
Drawing a parallel to how the channel aired a biography on Steve Jobs two years ago after his sudden demise and how it dropped the regular line up to air a show called The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka when the international community was bearing down on Sri Lanka for war crimes committed by its army, she says: "The effect was quite humbling as the show created a stir in Tamil Nadu and was even discussed in Parliament."
Coming back to Mandela, NGC has dropped its popular series Taboo. National Geographic and FOX International Channels VP, marketing Debarpita Banerjee, says that shows based on big events and people always bring more viewers. "Our rich and diverse library has always offered contextually relevant shows like Trapped in Kedarnath, Inside the Mahakumbh, 26/11 specials, 9/11 specials, that have fared extremely well. In fact, shows like Trapped in Kedarnath,9/11 special went on to become one of the top three shows of the infotainment genre. Most of these special features have largely been based on events that have turned into the country's news headlines. We realise that there are people curious to know more about events that have impacted their lives," she says.
Business-wise, it isn't a good deal for channels to change the line-up at such short notice as they rarely find sponsors. Add to that the tough market that makes it even more difficult. With sponsorships taking a few weeks, finding an advertiser for a show that is to be aired in a few hours is difficult for any channel and thus, none of the channels got funders.
However, since the curiosity around the topic is huge, the promotions become big. "For our regular viewers, we promote the shows heavily on the channel along with all our social media platforms. Pertinent shows like these are also promoted heavily on our news network where we can reach out to relevant audiences," says Aiyer.
"Getting sponsors is but naturally difficult on such short notice, however, our prime focus for such features is to ensure that we have the most relevant and well researched content put together by our programming team and then, try and promote it well so that our viewers are aware of such a show. We reach out to our captive audience of over 4 million fans on Facebook along with running promos, graphic-overs on the channel itself," concludes Banerjee.

Prosciutto Chicken Spirals
from Sublime Smoke(Harvard Common Press, 1996)
Flavored sumptuously with a mustard paste, provolone cheese, prosciutto, sage, and more, these spirals taste
as splendid as they look but are simple to prepare.
1. At least 2 hours and up to the night before you plan to smoke the chicken, combine the paste ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the paste thoroughly over the chicken, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours.
2. Bring your smoker to its appropriate temperature.
3. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
4. Lay one breast on a plate and sprinkle it with one-quarter of the sage. Trim one cheese and one prosciutto slice, if needed, to fit the surface of the chicken as completely as possible. Top the breast with the cheese and then the prosciutto. From one of the long sides, roll the breast up, snug but not tight, and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining breasts, sage, cheese, and prosciutto. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with paprika on all sides.
5. Transfer the chicken to the smoker and cook it until the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into a breast, about 25 to 30 minutes at a temperature of 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F.
6. While the chicken smokes, warm the oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, stock, mustard, and salt, and simmer until the sauce is reduced by one- half. Keep the sauce warm.
7. With a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast into 4 or 5 spiral rounds. Arrange the slices on individual serving plates and spoon the sauce equally over each plate. Garnish with sage, if you wish, and serve immediately.
Note:When you massage meat with a paste, seal it snugly in plastic wrap
or a plastic bag rather than placing it in a dish. The tight wrap helps the paste
adhere to the surface of the food and penetrate more fully.

Nexus may be appearing on our news section in the near future more frequently than we anticipated if the rumors going around are true. Just yesterday, I wrote a story about how Asus was working on a high end smartphone that will sport an Intel Atom Z2580 (Cover Trail+) processor to be released or announced this summer. In the same piece, I also hinted that Asus may be working on another edition of the popular Nexus 7 tablet in collaboration with Google. A new rumor is that Google may actually be putting its efforts on a new Nexus device, this time with LG again, to develop a Nexus 5 device.
Nexus 7 was a 7 inch mini-tablet. Nexus 10 was a 10 inch tablet and Nexus 4 was a 4 inch smartphone. Would it be safe to assume that Nexus 5 will be a 5 inch phablet or a smartphone? From the rumor we have heard, this may be in the league of high end smartphones as it may sport a Nikon camera, but we do not know anything about the quality yet.
There was a story earlier that LG's 'Megalodon' prototype smartphone may actually be a Nexus 5. According to a source who talked to Phone Arena, the next Nexus device is going to be in the league of high end high performance gadgets and may sport a 5 inch Full HD screen with a 1080p resolution, a Qualcomm 600 processor, 2 GB RAM and 8 and 16GB internal memory. The biggest win for this smartphone or phablet however will be a 3140 mA battery and a new version of Android Operating System 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
The camera may just be the major selling point of the phone or phablet if it comes with Nikon branding. Nikon is a popular name when it comes to cameras but it had not ventured into the smartphone industry successfully before.
Now that smartphones seemed to have reached a whole new level of processing power and memory, will the next battlefield be in cameras? Is HTC One the current leader with an Ultrapixels camera or does Google and LG have something in the kitchen that will upset the market?

Rock Revolution Hands-On
We pound out some Twisted Sister in Konami's new multi-instrument rhythm game.
One of the new announcements made at last night's Konami press event in San Francisco was for a rhythm game called Rock Revolution. During the evening's opening presentation, they literally pulled the curtain off the game by revealing the first instrument peripheral, a drum kit featuring six pads and a kick pedal. Although no information has been released on the guitar peripheral, we had the chance to test out the drums in a head-to-head drummer duel set to Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It."
The most striking thing about the drums is that they've upped the number of pads over Rock Band's kit by a fairly hefty margin. On the top you've got representations of three drums and three cymbals. The drums are laid out in circles, with a big one and two smaller ones. The cymbals are shaped like triangles, and all three are the same size. All of the pads are placed on the same level, so you shouldn't expect to see the cymbals raised any higher than the drums. In addition, there's a kick pedal on the ground.
We asked a Konami rep on hand to explain the reasoning behind such a distinctive pad layout. He told us that it's been done this way for enhanced realism. Each pad is a dedicated part of the drum, so no matter the song, the large circle is always meant to represent the floor tom, the triangle will always play the sound of the hi-hat, and so on.
After this conversation, we had the chance to try the drums for ourselves. The pads are quite a bit softer than both the original and newly designed Rock Band drums. And for as quiet as they are, the extra padding didn't seem to have any impact on the responsiveness. One tricky thing about the drums is that even though there are so many more inputs, the surface area isn't much bigger than a Rock Band set. This makes it a little tough to hit the right pads, especially considering that the cymbals are shaped like triangles, which even further reduces the target area for your drumsticks. However, we really liked the feel of the kick pedal; it was much sturdier than the Rock Band one and did not feel like it was bending under the weight of our foot.
Notes are played just as you would expect: You see gems coming down from the top of the screen, and your job is to hit them just as they pass through the markers at the bottom. It's a bit trickier here because you've got seven notes to look for at all times. The Konami rep we spoke with said they're certainly looking to make the proper difficulty adjustments for the higher skill levels--in relation to other drumming games with fewer pads--so that you're not faced with impossible odds.
Konami is predicting that the final tracklist will come in at 40 songs, to be released at retail with the usual postrelease downloadable content to follow shortly thereafter. They've yet to officially confirm any of the songs, but we caught a glimpse at quite a few based on the track selection offered in this early build. In addition to the aforementioned Twisted Sister, there's also some Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, System of a Down, and even Avril Lavigne. We also noticed quite a few songs featured in Rock Band, such as "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?"
In addition to licensed tracks, you'll have the opportunity to record your own music in a studio jam mode in which you can record up to eight tracks on a single song. Other gameplay modes will run the gamut from a career mode featuring real-world venues, online and offline multiplayer consisting of versus, co-op, and band duels, and a rehearsal space to work on those tougher numbers.
The demo that we were shown was for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, but it will also be released on the Nintendo DS and Wii. Unlike console versions, the DS will support vocals through the built-in microphone. With this one, you'll use the stylus for all of the instruments, requiring you to draw gestures on the screen. With the Wii you're essentially playing air guitar and air drums with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Rock Revolution has yet to be given a firm release date. Right now, Konami has slated it for a fall release. Before then, you should expect to see more details from us on the upcoming guitar peripheral.

Services on the Internet
Cologne is still quite far away from being a virtual metropolis; comparing the internet services of 25 German cities, the business magazine Impulse positioned Cologne to No. 22. Nevertheless, most of the offices and authorities are now represented on the Web and provide information about their work, their office hours, and important facts and figures.
Car drivers can choose their ideal registration number via the Internet and have it reserved for seven days. They buy the number plates before the car is actually registered as they have already printed out the necessary authorisation on their home computer beforehand. They are allowed to drive to the registration office with the new plates.
Public tenders
Since a few years
the city of Cologne publishes all invitations for tenders on its website, sorted for area of business, location, period, and other keywords. This includes purchases from 50,000 Euro for construction projects and from 200,000 Euro for other acquisitions and services.
Courses and books
Those who are seeking further education can find out everything about the content and requirements of the courses offered by the Adult Further Education Centre in Cologne by Internet. The desired course can then be booked directly in the Web, but only if there are really places still available.
Virtual Market Places
Looking for companies, products, or bargains? The online market places may help. Competing the traditional Yellow Pages of Deutsche Telekom, Yellow Map and Google Maps provide geographically oriented search engines and present their results directly in a map.

After reading the comments regarding the prayer banner in Cranston, I would like to add a few comments.
To begin: any sentence that contains "the founding fathers believed/thought/said/wanted/intended/were, etc is necessarily wrong.
Yes. wrong.
The founding fathers were not a monolithic bunch. Exactly the opposite. They were a group of men, many of whom had long years of experience in politics in some form. As such, as a group and for the most part, they understood the necessity of compromise. Not all of them; there were some doctrinaire ideologues, especially in the earlier days, but they were weeded out as time passed.
A great example of this is Sam Adams–whose father was a brewer, by the way. He played a major role in the early days of the protests that led up to the outbreak of fighting, but he did not have the political chops to play any role in congress during the war.
So, to say that the founding fathers were not Christians is wrong. This is the fallacy of composition, ascribing traits of component parts to the whole group. To say they were Christians is doubly wrong.
Many were devout Christians. However, Thomas Jefferson is probably best described as a theist. He believed in a Higher Power–the Creator of the Declaration–but he did not believe Jesus was divine. In fact, he created his own edition of the New Testament. He retained what Jesus said, but cut out all references to miracles, including the Resurrection. Not to believe in Jesus' resurrection means you are not, and cannot be, called a Christian. Belief in Jesus' divinity is the sine qua non of being a Christian.
Ben Franklin would probably also best be described as a non-Christian theist. George Washington and several others were Masons, which is nominally Christian, but with a number of beliefs that would not pass muster with either the Pope or the Southern Baptist Conference.
It is also important to recognize that, after the Revolution, a number of the several states had established an official religion. However, this created problems for minority religions. For example, Virginia was officially Anglican (now Episcopalian). This meant that the Episcopal Church was subsidized by the state. For many, who belonged to minority sects such as Baptists, found this problematic for numerous reasons.
Note also, that, in the body of the constitution, Madison made no express mention of religion, one way or the other. That he chose not to is highly significant. He did not want the federal government–or state governments–to have an official religion. Hence the careful wording: Congress shall make no law. This ensures that, well, Congress shall make no law to establish any one religion.
At the time, this meant the various flavors of Christianity. The federal government was not to promote Catholicism over Episcopalianism. However, the wording is such that it is not restricted to various forms of Christianity. It can apply to establishing Christianity per se as a religion. Take this, along with the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which sought to guarantee that the individual states could not deny the recently freed slaves their new rights as full citizens, and you come to the situation where we are.
Because of this amendment, no individual state can establish a religion, just as no state can deny a citizen the right to vote. This also means that it is unlawful for public tax money to be spent on religion, or for any organ of the state to promote a particular religion. Hence, the law is such that a public school cannot promote any religion. And it's also important to recognize that atheism is a religious belief, even if it's negative. So to promote theism over atheism is not permitted under the constitution.
I hope this is clear, and I apologize for the length.
