Northlander Forest Axe "Stalwart"
The Northlander Forest Axe is one of the most universal axes. The long handle and large blade length allow power strokes on limbing, felling, splitting and other bushcraft needs. Yet, it is light and small enough fit well on camping or hunting trips where space is limited and can be used one handed without fatigue. The Stalwart is also a good craft axe for timber framing and carving needs around the shop or in the woodlands.
The first step in axe making is to chisel a hole in a block of mild low carbon steel. This is where the eye will take place. Using a mandrel the eye is stretched into the needed size. Next a notch is chiseled in one end of the billet and a wedge shaped piece of alloyed Bohler K460 tool steel is inserted in it to form the harder cutting edge. Now the axe is heated to a dark yellow color and borax is sprinkled on it. Melted borax liquefies the oxidation scale and washes it out of the welding seam. Once again the axe is heated, this time to a bright yellow glow, and forged so that the two pieces of steel forge weld together. The blacksmith then forges the axe's head into a shape and grinds the rough edge. Now the axe is ready to be annealed.
Annealing is needed to remove the inner stresses in the steel formed during the forging. To do that axe is heated to 850 degrees Celsius and cooled very slowly to room temperature. After that the axe goes to second heat treatment step which is normalizing. For this the axe is heated again, this time to a 800 degrees Celsius, our makers mark is stamped into the steel and the axe is cooled down in the air. Normalizing prepares the structure of the steel for the next step; hardening. Again the axe goes into a furnace and is heated to 800 degrees Celsius. Then the axe is quenched in mineral oil and water. Now the axe is hard enough, but is very brittle so it needs to be tempered. For the last time the axe is heated to 220 degrees Celsius, and is held at that temperature for one hour. After the axe is tempered to Rockwell 58-59 (HRC) and the steel is hot enough, a mixture of bees wax, linseed oil and turpentine is applied to the axe head. This is a very old and effective way to protect the tool from rusting. After final smooth grinding and polishing the axe blade, it reaches mirror finish, becomes razor sharp and is ready to get its own unique handle.
Each axe handle is made individually for each axe head to achieve a perfect fit. To start, a knot-free piece, of locally harvested and kiln dried (6-8% of moisture) Red Elm wood is chosen and then marked out using a template. We use only parallel grained wood to the axe eye, if the grain of the wood will be perpendicular to the axe eye - it will break fast and will not last long. The rough shape of the handle is sawn using a bandsaw. Next the handle is shaped using a drawknife. Axe eye dimensions are marked on the top of the handle and the handle is shaved to almost fit the eye. Final finishing is carried out using sandpaper to ensure a close fit. Then the axe handle is tightly punched into the axe head and locked with the wooden wedge which is glued in with an epoxy wood glue. A small steel wedge is hammered into the wooden wedge to lock the axe head vertically. Now the axe has been laid in the Tung oil bath for 24 hours, this fills the wood pores with the oil, and swells the handle so after a week the oil dries and polymerizes and wood is fully protected and it will never shrink.
Like our other leather goods, the axe sheath is made from cowhide that's manufactured in a local tannery using the same methods and techniques that were used 100 years ago. 4mm thick leather is dyed with Fiebings professional oil dye. Afterwards, the leather is treated with palm leaf wax and heated beeswax that gives it a vintage look and protection. As final finish Fiebings Acrylic resoline is being applied.

XS::APItest - Test the perl C API
use XS::APItest;
use XS::APItest qw(rpn calcrpn);
$triangle = rpn($n $n 1 + * 2 /);
calcrpn $triangle { $n $n 1 + * 2 / }
This module tests the perl C API. Also exposes various bit of the perl internals for the use of core test scripts.
This module can be used to check that the perl C API is behaving correctly. This module provides test functions and an associated test script that verifies the output.
This module is not meant to be installed.
Exports all the test functions:
Test that a double-precision floating point number is formatted correctly by
print_double( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that a
long double is formatted correctly by
printf. Takes no arguments - the test value is hard-wired into the function (as "7").
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Determine whether a
long double is supported by Perl. This should be used to determine whether to test
print_long_double() if have_long_double;
Test that an
NV is formatted correctly by
print_nv( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that an
IV is formatted correctly by
print_iv( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that an
UV is formatted correctly by
print_uv( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that an
int is formatted correctly by
print_int( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that an
long is formatted correctly by
print_long( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Test that a single-precision floating point number is formatted correctly by
print_float( $val );
Output is sent to STDOUT.
Installs a source filter that substitutes "e" for "o" (witheut regard fer what it might be medifying).
These exercise the C calls of the same names. Everything after the flags arg is passed as the args to the called function. They return whatever the C function itself pushed onto the stack, plus the return value from the function; for example
call_sv( sub { @_, 'c' }, G_LIST, 'a', 'b');
# returns 'a', 'b', 'c', 3
call_sv( sub { @_ }, G_SCALAR, 'a', 'b');
# returns 'b', 1
Evaluates the passed SV. Result handling is done the same as for
call_sv() etc.
Exercises the C function of the same name in scalar context. Returns the same SV that the C function returns.
Exercises the C function of the same name. Returns nothing.
These are not supplied by default, but must be explicitly imported. They are lexically scoped.
Behaves like
This construct is a Perl expression. EXPRESSION must be an RPN arithmetic expression, as described below. The RPN expression is evaluated, and its value is returned as the value of the Perl expression.
This construct is a complete Perl statement. (No semicolon should follow the closing brace.) VARIABLE must be a Perl scalar
my variable, and EXPRESSION must be an RPN arithmetic expression as described below. The RPN expression is evaluated, and its value is assigned to the variable.
Tokens of an RPN expression may be separated by whitespace, but such separation is usually not required. It is required only where unseparated tokens would look like a longer token. For example,
12 34 + can be written as
12 34+, but not as
1234 +.
An RPN expression may be any of:
A sequence of digits is an unsigned decimal literal number.
An alphanumeric name preceded by dollar sign refers to a Perl scalar variable. Only variables declared with
my or
state are supported. If the variable's value is not a native integer, it will be converted to an integer, by Perl's usual mechanisms, at the time it is evaluated.
Sum of A and B.
Difference of A and B, the result of subtracting B from A.
Product of A and B.
Quotient when A is divided by B, rounded towards zero. Division by zero generates an exception.
Remainder when A is divided by B with the quotient rounded towards zero. Division by zero generates an exception.
Because the arithmetic operators all have fixed arity and are postfixed, there is no need for operator precedence, nor for a grouping operator to override precedence. This is half of the point of RPN.
An RPN expression can also be interpreted in another way, as a sequence of operations on a stack, one operation per token. A literal or variable token pushes a value onto the stack. A binary operator pulls two items off the stack, performs a calculation with them, and pushes the result back onto the stack. The stack starts out empty, and at the end of the expression there must be exactly one value left on the stack.

101 Back to School Organizing: Packing Lunches
We do our best to pack the kid's their lunches since it's such a huge money saver. Once a week, we allow them to snag up a lunch from school, since it's a special treat. We have them look at the school menu ahead of time, pick a day to eat school lunch, and the rest are packed by the hubs and I.
This year I would love to be really organized when it comes to packing up lunches. I am using the power of inspiration found on the www to do this.
First, these snack baskets which I first saw on ohdeedoh, are such a great idea!
And we already have been doing the same thing with dry snacks for quite some time. But I wanted to borrow from the idea and use it to create a lunch making station in the fridge. Something we could just easily grab that has all the things we use each time we make up lunches.
So I just took a cheapo plastic basket that we already had, added a quick laminated label, and filled it with all sorts of lunch making goodies!
This one basket holds cheese slices, lunch meat, cheese sticks, grapes, carrots, jelly, mayo, yogurt and ranch cups!
And tucks perfectly on a shelf in the fridge!
I am hoping that having all of their items in one easy to find place, it will make lunch making an easy breezy process!
When it comes to actually packing their lunches, this year I am giving these babies a try:
I picked up a four pack from Amazon, and love them so much I might just snag up a second set so we always have some clean. They are really durable, I love that I won't need to waste plastic baggies and the best part is that it keeps all of their food separated, yet in one container!
Last but not least, to ensure that the kids aren't becoming tired of eating the same thing each day, I am going to use the power of Pinterest to keep things interesting. There are all sorts of great lunch ideas for kids on there! One of the best websites I have found so far is Lisa Storms. Check out these adorable lunch ideas she has shared on her blog:
What other lunch making tips do you have? How do you keep lunches interesting for the kids throughout the year? How about ways to make the lunch making process easy peasy? Has anyone else had a lunch station in their fridge that has worked, or do I dare say it, hasn't?

I just read in this month's Family Fun to make sandwiches ahead of time (PBJ or lunch meat without the condiments) and then freeze them. You can pull them out and toss them in lunch boxes and they will thaw by lunch time. I'm going to try to make sandwiches for the week on Sunday and also combine that with your snack basket idea for easy and stress-free lunch packing :)ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2012 at 4:42 AM
When I was in grade school (I just turned 40 this year), my mom was making sandwiches ahead of time and freezing them. She also saved money by baking and freezing brownies, cupcakes, etc. Each morning, we would take a baggie (with a twist tie) of chips or pretzels, a piece of fresh fruit, a frozen sandwich and a dessert and put it in our lunch box before school. I also remember film canisters with milk money! Thanks for the memory!Delete
- AnonymousAugust 26, 2013 at 2:33 PM
My mom used to do the frozen sandwiches bit. I have to say, it was dreadful. I ate half frozen bologna sandwiches for years...until such time as I was SO sick of them I simply stopped eating lunch all-together. Might work for some but vary it, please!Delete
What about cute little love notes? That's one thing I can't wait to do when my little munchkin goes off to school :)ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJuly 5, 2013 at 8:14 AM
I'm a mom of four and a teacher...the love notes are such a sweet idea. My only suggestion is that you wait until they can read to send them. From a teachers perspective it is hard to get all of their packages (goldfish snacks ect.) open and walk around and read 25 little love notes in a lunch period.:) Just a thought!!Delete
I have been doing love notes since my daughter was in kindergarten. Until she learned to read I drew her funny little pictures instead of words. She loved them! She's heading into 6th grade next year so this is the last year I am allowed to do love notes.. and even now I have to hide them deep in her lunch box ;)Delete
I do the same thing with my first grader. Until she could read, I would draw pictures. Now, I LITERALLY spend one night a month to make little notes that I print. On the notes I include the following... date, what happened today in history or an interesting fact, a joke, and a place for a personal note from me. Now, why do I put all this? My daughter was being "bullied" about her lunches. Certain students would tease her about why she brought "ol d lady foods in her lunch." (As silly as it sounds, it became embarrassing for my daughter to bring the foods she enjoyed most- salads, baked potatoes, homemade soups, etc.) I began putting the jokes and factoids on notes so she would have something interesting to tell the kids or jokes to break the ice. Now... the other kids could care less about the "gross" food in her lunch, but focus more on the "joke of the day" or the new cool fact she can tell them. Thus far, I have not had any trouble finding "new material." Guess I will cross that bridge when I get there. In closing, not only is the note providing entertainment to her and classmates, but, its also educational.Delete
What an intelligent way to handle your daughter's difficulty! I love that you took it upon yourself to find a positive way to turn around the situation. I would have just whined to her teacher, which is now a very embarrassing thought!Delete
I print off jokes and stick those in my sons' lunch boxes. They enjoy those much more than a lovey note from mom ;)Delete
I think the joke idea is great...especially for boysDelete
A few years ago, I bought a laptop lunchbox (http://www.laptoplunches.com/)and I was hooked. I am never at a loss for packing that lunchbox which has helped me lose weight, eat way better and spend a lot less money. My daughter uses one as well. My son uses the little containers with the lids but not the case (he's too cool for school...)ReplyDelete
Oh, and check out the Vegan Lunchbox and be amazed at the lunches she packed for her son.ReplyDelete
I used Easy Lunch Boxes last year (I had a 2nd grader). They are the best option I have found for ease of use and convenient. My only complaint is that after a few rounds in the dishwasher the tops don't fit quite as well. I have taken to hand washing them, which is kind of a pain. The bags are also kind of bulky, so make sure the child's backpack can fit them, my kids don't like to carry their's separately since they walk to school.ReplyDelete
I'll have two kids in full day school this year and one at home. My plan is to have everyones lunch (husband, me, school kids & toddler) made in the morning. I will definitely create a lunch basket in our refrigerator, that is a great idea! My other goal is to have peanut free lunches, the school hasn't sent home an rules about peanut free lunches but I know a few kids do have peanut allergies and I want to be sensitive to them. I am always looking for more lunch ideas and have a Pinterest board dedicated to school lunch ideas and so I can't wait to see what you find too (I am following you).Replies
- AnonymousJuly 20, 2013 at 11:27 PM
Just wanted to say...thanks for being sensitive to food allergies! As a mom of a boy with several severe food allergies, it warms my heart to know there are those who are sensitive and willing to adjust for the safety of another kiddo. Thanks!!!Delete
Love the idea of keeping lunch items together in the fridge! Such a time saver and it also makes it easy to see if you're running low on something :)ReplyDelete
I have those containers...I got mine super cheap at Big Lots!
kurlypink - is there anything about laptop lunches that you don't like? It was a very close decision for me between them and Easy Lunch Boxes.ReplyDelete
Melissa at www.anotherlunch.com has really cute bento style lunch ideas and, at least last time I checked, she had cute printables for little notes.
My youngest is a Senior in high school this year, so I've been packing them for awhile now! My best advice is make them the night before...things that don't need to be kept in the frig can go right into their lunch boxes, and those needing to stay cool on a designated shelf in the frig. I also found a simple formula works well-main dish (sandwich, salad, yogurt, wrap, etc), veggie, fruit, salty sweet. You can make up a list ahead of time of ideas for each section. This has worked really well for our family for many years.ReplyDelete
My three-year-old will be starting a preschool this fall, and we have to prepare his lunches, so this post couldn't come at a better time! If you ever find any other lunch tips/ideas, please post them!!ReplyDelete
On an unrelated, what is that thing in your refrigerator that organizes your Izze's??Replies
i am a mom of a 3-year old and one tip i have is to use a cookie cutter (or sandwich cutter) for his/her sandwich. i use the same heart-shape one over and over again, but it makes the sandwich the perfect size for his little hands. he loves choosing a shape for his sandwich.Delete
If you end up needing any extra lunch packables that keep items cold, I am LOVING these Aladdin containers that house a little snap-on ice pack at the top. They were $4 at Target, and they come in both snack and sandwich size. I had trouble finding photos online, but you can see them in my first photo in this blog post: http://mamadoitall.blogspot.com/2011/08/anatomy-of-lunch-box.html - anyhow, the inserts work great both in the boxes and alone, and the containers have held up really well in the dishwasher. Great for fruit or deli meat sandwiches that don't do well unrefrigerated. :-) Thought I would share!ReplyDelete
Thanks Jen! I'm going to buy those lunch containers ASAP! I go through so many plastic sacks!!!ReplyDelete
I am in love with this post! Such great ideas I need to adopt to make my life easier and more organized. Great post!ReplyDelete
I don't even have kids and those lunch containers look like a must-have. My husband and I go through so many plastic bags packing lunch for work, they seem like the perfect solution!ReplyDelete
You should totally get the boys Bento Boxes or Laptop Lunches one year for the holidays or their birthdays! so fun and colorful and they have little customizable and removable compartments! I plan on getting those for my future kiddos!ReplyDelete
LOVE the ohdeedoh inspiration! I have that pinned too! colorful food is good for the mind body and soul! =)
Jenn @ Peas and Crayons
and I *THINK* the laptop ones are eco? BPA and pthylate free? I could be wrong. I'm using glass pyrex (the ones we both have for storage) right now and its totally only good for my husband. kids.. no way! haha =)ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, thanks so much for this post! Even with little ones not yet in school, those snack/lunch pics are so inspiring!!ReplyDelete
Great post! Funny I posted those same photos from Real Simple this week. Packing lunch is a biggie at our place with a food allergic child.ReplyDelete
I hope you come check out my posts I lovingly named "Packed With Love".
Thanks for the suggestions! I just ordered two of the totes and a set of the containers! I am excited and hope this will make lunches easier to prepare.ReplyDelete
My DD isn't old enough yet for lunch boxes, but I'm already planning on doing the bento thing. I try to do that with his lunch on his plate that has separate compartments. We try to eat Vegan as much as possible so I love the book Vegan Lunchbox. Lots of great ideas. Mini bananas are so cute, and such a perfect size for little lunches.ReplyDelete
Love all your ideas! I am especially in love with this idea. My husband always throws a bunch of crap into his lunch for work because he is to lazy to put carrots, celery, grapes, apple slices, etc. into a separate baggy, men lol. I never thought to just pre-bag it so all he has to do is grab it. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas with us aspiring IHeart Organizers!ReplyDelete
& P.S. I love the new blonde hair! You are super gorgeous! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 18, 2011 at 4:52 PM
If you haven't checked out Weelicious (or liked on FB) it's a fantastic site. I can certainly get lost browsing however my favorite feature is the daily picture of the school lunches she makes for her young son. Truly healthy and inspirational.ReplyDelete
I love my laptop lunch container for myself - I may try it for my daughter this year too (I've been a bit worried she'd accidentally throw away the containers and/or tops). It really is so much easier to pack healthy when you eliminate all the pre-packaged chips, snacks, junk.
Lovin' your new hair do' and the changes you've been making to the blog too.ReplyDelete
I have a lunch section in my refrigerator, and portion out the veggies/nuts ahead of time. Most fruits are cut the morning of, though all are pre-washed (by me!). I may implement your idea of a basket, but not sure my fridge has the space. The shelves are laid out weird, and I haven't figured out how to change them!
Lunch stations - inspirational. I'm always scrambling together morning tea snacks for my kids. Will definitely use this idea.ReplyDelete
We used the Easy Lunch Boxes last year and loved them! I also borrowed from the bento idea and bought regular and mini sized silicone cupcake liners to further divide the sections. Lunches look so appealing this way! I also make PB&J for the week and freeze. A cookie cutter makes them into fun shapes. I try to mix it up and keep things interesting. And this weekend, my goal is to gather all the lunch-making goodies and create a basket like this one, so perfect timing on this great post! Thanks!ReplyDelete
These are such great ideas! &I love all the colorful tupperware and bright labels you madeReplyDelete
I love the new banner and layout. And the new pic :)ReplyDelete
By far thus is the best. I showed this picture to my 16 year old giant lol. He is just tall. He said that would be awesome. So I am off to the store to create a snack bin. Pictures to follow.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this post! I just made a vow to share all my lunch ideas on my blog, and I'm hoping to find more inspiration like you just shared. I'm heading over to Pinterest now!ReplyDelete
We've been using the Lunchboxes all summer and I love them. We pack them each week when we go to the park. It's been a huge help in eating healthier and greener. (We're using way less plastic baggies.)ReplyDelete
I absolutely love your lunch station idea. I definitely want to try this. With 3 kids in school and a hubby off to work, I have a lot of lunches to pack. I think this will help streamline our mornings! Thanks for sharing such a great tip!
Super cute...and timely! We do so much better with lunch making AND snacking when it's all separated and labeled ahead of time. For anyone looking for some really healthy and adorable ideas I have a friend in Florida who has a blog and Facebook page full of amazing "bento" lunches she makes for her girls. I love her creativity! (You can search for her on FB under "Bentoriffic")ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great post and it's great to see the links to toher sites and blogs. Easy to get stuck in a rut with lunches. To save on using disposable bags, another option is these resuaBLE SANDWICH AND SNACK WRAPS. http://www.biome.com.au/shop_index.php?cPath=274_441ReplyDelete
They are made of polyester and can be washed with your dishes or in your machine and can be used pretty much endlessly.
This is surely an efficient way to packing lunches for kids. Plus they also enjoy the decorative foods. Totally love this idea.ReplyDelete
Medical Shelving
What I'm curious about is how the kids would manage to keep those decorative lunches intact so that they could tell what they were eating. They make an awesome presentation but after being tossed around inside a backpack I can't imagine they would look pretty at all. Our plain PB&J sandwiches look like mush after that.ReplyDelete
I got a nifty little tool at Walmart made by Wonder. It cuts the crusts off the sandwiches and seals them in a little pocket like those uncrustables. My kids love it and ask all the time for 'hidden' sandwiches.
I have a Goodbyn lunch box for my kids but its never been opened. I can't get them to agree to anything besides the typical PB&J.
I don't have kids yet but I do pack my hubby's lunch for work (& mine). Not that he expects me too but I figure for all the other household to dos he takes care of I can easily do this for him. So...my habit is making our lunches immediately after dinner each night. I do it as we are cleaning up so it doesn't feel like such a chore later. Plus it's an easy way to pack the leftovers right away. I find that if I wait until the morning I am rushed and that is when we are likely to just say "oh well we will grab lunch out today." Packing saves a ton of money and like you said feels like a treat when it is done on occasion! I love your ideas and system... helpful for once we do have kids!ReplyDelete

We use LUNCHBOTS boxes,they are metal as we try to avoid plastic also kids konserve tubs for things that will likely leak.
Hi Jen, I only found your blog yesterday and today I took some time to read a little. I just wanted to say thank you, because this motivated me so much that I have spent 4 hours of cleaning up my kitchen drawers and cabinets today. Still my kitchen is not as perfectly organized as yours, but it is a beginning. I intend to buy some of those helpful containers that I saw in your pictures and improve it even more. The thing is that I work full-time and with that and my family and a big home, it's really a lot of work. The more helpful it will be to have a place for each little thing, so I might become a better homemaker in the future. Thanks again, I will come back for more inspiration!ReplyDelete

I'm stealing these prep ideas! I struggle every morning with my 3-yo-old's lunches for preschool. I love the idea of the Bento boxes and not using a zillion baggies, but I'm also very concerned about food safety and keeping everything nice and cold. The Bento boxes I've seen online don't seem to have any place for ice packs, or do they? Please help! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Also, I know there are the cute, reusable bags you can buy, but those don't seem very sanitary to me. How do you clean them?ReplyDelete
I love the basket-in-the-fridge idea, I tend to use the concept with dry goods and now I can use the idea with the cool items too. Thanks Jen.ReplyDelete
Just one of my 3 girls takes lunch (the teen often takes anything, seldom the dried meat package; and for the toddler, one mom at her classroom takes lunch for all of them one week at a time), so usually what I do is just ask my husband when he does the groceries to bring me some goodies and have them available and somewhere hidden, and have chopped fruit ready to go.ReplyDelete
That basket is a great idea! However, I don't think it would work at my house, because, for some reason, yummy things like that don't last more than one day. LOL the girls would be all over it in a minute.
Thanks for the LunchBoxes they seem great, I might give them a try!

great post! my problem is that my daughter, who will be going into first grade, only prefers warm meals for lunch. she's not a sandwich gal. she likes rice, pasta, meats, etc. however, what has happened in the past is that no matter how much i warm up her meal in the morning or in what container i place her food in, by lunchtime she says it's cold and smelly! lol so i worry that she doesn't eat b/c of that. but she still insists that this year she wants her warm meals for lunch. ugh..what to do!!ReplyDelete

Will these plastic divided containers fit inside a regular lunchbox? Like a previous poster asked (*i didn't see an answer), how do you keep things cold?ReplyDelete
They fit inside lunch boxes that the kids use similar to these from PBKids: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/boys-fairfax-lunch-box-bts2011/?pkey=e|lunch|39|best|0|1|24||14&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-Top_Marketing_Rule-_-

Ziploc brand has a bento box as well. I have found them at Target, a set of 2 costs like $3-4. They fit inside a regular $5 lunchbox. No need to spend alot of money on other websites! And Ziploc brand are BPA free and are dishwasher safe!!

This is such a great idea for dorm fridge and "pantry" space!ReplyDelete
Hi Jen, since these are NOT leak proof, when you pack fruits like watermelon, did you notice any leaks or juices running over to other sections of the lunch box? Our lunch boxes are the kind where this box would not be placed upright. Just wanted to clarify before I ordered them. Otherwise they look great and very functional.ReplyDelete
Hi there!Delete
We don't notice too much. I really strain all liquids prior to using them however. We usually do grapes and chopped fruits or veggies, so they have worked great for us.
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2012 at 10:35 PM
I love the basket for the fridge idea, but I am thinking about creating several different baskets in different categories like dairy, fruit/ veggie, and whole grain. This way each child can choose one item from each basket and add a Sammie and voila! Lunch! My kids tend to be more excited about food when they feel like they have a part in it. Plus they can pretty much pack the lunch themselves if the prep work is done:) we will see if it actually works.ReplyDelete

Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas! For those looking for lunchbox ideas, I've tried three and will share those here: I tried the laptop lunches bento lunchbox for my husband. After using it twice he said he wanted nothing to do with it. It leaked anything with any sort of liquid out of the container (none of the lids shut tightly) and got the whole lunch box and his water bottle at the side wet and greasy. I was pretty bummed. I paid $59.95 for it and got $10 out of it at a garage sale :( For the past two years for my daughter I used Goodbyn bento boxes. They are adorable and come with stickers to decorate and personalize. I loved all the separate little compartments and it came with a water bottle which fit nicely in the middle of the box. My favorite part was the little space next to the water bottle which we used for a folded up note or sometimes a special treat (small candy). She has passed down her goodbyns to the younger children since I just bought her a planetbox to use this year. It's also bento-like and, although we've only used it once, we really like it. I think bento boxes work really well for kids since most kids don't like their foods to touch and it's exciting to eat out of different little compartmentsReplyDelete
I just saw this cool idea for bento boxes on Pinterest and it seemed to be right in line with your lunch ideas. http://susanyuen.wordpress.com/page/4/ReplyDelete
Wow, I love these ideas. Although my children are grown, they both have young school age children, and I'm making up these types of baskets for both my daughter and her three children, and my son and his four children. Thanks so much for the great ideas!ReplyDelete
Great ideas! I love using (cheap) pencil boxes for "home made kids meals." They make great tray-like lunch boxes for in the car and work for anywhere else as well.ReplyDelete
What did you use to lamintate the tag? A machine? If so which one?ReplyDelete

I started a "snack/lunch" station for my family. My husband says...Best idea ever!! As soon as I get home from the grocery store, I wash up my grapes & strawberries and package'em up in little snack bags (I do the same for Cheez-it's and other cereal items). This way when my kids come home from school, they grab a snack bag and it TOTALLY saves time in the morning if they want to pack their lunch (as well as for me because I pack my lunch and a lunch for my husband). Easy Breezey!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!ReplyDelete
PS.. my co-worker does it for her little 2yr old as well!!
gosh when I grow up and have children my goal is to be as cool of a mom as you are!ReplyDelete
For a very long time now, I've looked for ways to find inspiration to pack my daughter's school lunch and make it a much easier process and a healthier one. I couldn't have thought of a better way to do so, so I thank you I♥organizing!ReplyDelete

I set up a lunch station for the dry goods portion of lunches several years ago but just started with the refrigerated portion this year. I love it! I plan out the lunches on Sunday & portion them out for the week in individual containers. My son has used a "no waste" lunch box since 1st grade. We use Tupperware & Rubbermaid, even his spoon for his applesauce is reused. It's a plastic disposable spoon because I don't want to send my good flatware to school with him but we still wash & reuse it. Over 5 years, we've only managed to lose 3 lids to my Tupperware. I love this no waste, easily packed lunch system. AND I have even managed to teach my son to come home & immediately put the containers in the dishwasher!!!ReplyDelete
I adore your organization skills, and the kids must love the food prepared with so much love :DReplyDelete

I need this so badly, might save us major money, and even give us better healthy choices, only so many times you can do eating out a week at work.ReplyDelete
Hello everyone! Love these ideas for school lunch! Next week I am moving to another house with my family and I want to make something healthy as a snack. I will take some of these lunch boxes and will fill them with veggies and fruits. I also will make banana smoothies. I am sure that my kids will be glad.ReplyDelete

Playback Troubleshooting
We'd like to hear detailed descriptions of problems viewing videos in standalone players and browsers. HTML5 and WebM especially are very new, and it's highly unlikely the experience in any browser is going to be free of hiccups quite yet. The more feedback we get about what doesn't work, the more we can do to make sure problems get fixed.
If you don't see your browser or player below, feel free to add it to the appropriate list. And to avoid any battles over natural pecking order, keep them in alphabetical order ;-)
A list of Ogg Theora players (without troubleshooting or discussion) with links to vendor pages can be found on the Theora Software Players page.
In-browser Playback
Hiccups not specific to any browser
Brief flash of beginning of video when changing resolutions
There are two basic ways of changing the video currently playing back in the current HTML5 spec, and both have some practical problems we'd like to see fixed before the spec is finalized.
The first way to change streams is to create a new video element via javascript, wait for it to load, then replace the current video with the new one. Unfortunately, HTML5 gives no way to prevent the original video, even when stopped, from using all available bandwidth to keep buffering as fast as it can. This starves the replacement video of network access, causing a lengthy delay when loading. It looks very nice and seamless when it finally works, but can easily result is switching video streams taking 15-30 seconds or more.
The second option is to switch the preexisting video element to a new stream. This is much faster as the original stream stops sinking bandwidth immediately, but upon loading it always starts from the beginning and in current browsers also displays the first frame, even if playback isn't started. After the load completes, then it's possible to seek forward to where the original stream started. It doesn't look as good, but it's much faster in practice.
Xiph's video playback scripting uses the second, faster option, so there's a brief flash back to the beginning of the video upon resolution switch.
The 'extra controls' that appear as a bar along the top of the video playback window are implemented using HTML5 <video> tag features, and as such can't work as written in browsers using the Cortado fallback applet. Cortado does support subtitles via the 'CC' button in the lower right of the playback area, and our Ogg streams include subtitle tracks.
Search for known Firefox Audio/Video bugs
Firefox before Version 1.x,2.x,3.0.x
Firefox before version 3.5 (or 3.1 beta) did not include native support for Ogg or WebM. These broswers can play Ogg video via the Cortado applet if a Java runtime enviroment is installed. With Java installed, playback is seamless but does not have a full set of HTML5 features; resolution switching and chapter navigation are disabled. Cortado has native support for Ogg Kate subtitles.
Firefox 3.5.x
Firefox 3.5 was the first version of Firefox to ship with native Ogg playback. It features a full HTML5 feature set, though it is known to be relatively slow about seeking and navigation.
Firefox 3.5 will probably fail after seeking or refuse to seek entirely if your connectivity to the media passes through a proxy which strips HTTP range requests.
On common GNU/Linux systems with pulseaudio, such as Ubuntu and Fedora, playback will halt and refuse to continue after pausing (and potentially seeking) and will not continue unless the page is completely reloaded due to Mozilla Bug#526411.
Firefox 3.6.x
Firefox 3.6 behaves similarly to FF3.5, but adds poster support and more robust Ogg stream navigation along with some bug fixes.
Firefox 3.6 may fail after seeking or refuse to seek entirely if your connectivity to the media passes through a proxy which strips HTTP range requests.
Firefox 4.0 (currently in beta)
Firefox 4.0 features a new Ogg playback engine that allows considerably faster stream navigation, as well as WebM support.
Google Chrome
Search for video bugs in Chrome's bugtracker
Google Chrome added Ogg playback support in version [?], but it known to have serious bugs when seeking in Ogg streams; it also tends to lose the beginning of videos. Recent releases of Chrome support WebM, which works considerably better, though the playback framerate is often choppy/jerky (at least on Linux).
Internet Explorer
Internet explorer 5, 6, 7, 8
Internet Explorer through version 8 has no support whatsoever for Ogg, WebM or the video tag. Normal installs do include Java support, however, so these browsers are able to play Ogg video through the Cortado applet. With Cortado, playback is seamless but does not have a full set of HTML5 features; resolution switching and chapter navigation are disabled. Cortado has native support for Ogg Kate subtitles.
Internet Explorer 9
Internet Explorer 9 (currently in alpha/beta) apparently at least somewhat supports the HTML 5 video tag, however it does not support Ogg or WebM playback out of the box. Microsoft has stated it will support Ogg and WebM 'if the codecs are installed on the system'. Presumably having the Open Codecs pack installed fufills this requirement and enables Ogg and WebM support (confimation would be appreciated! If you have the Open Codecs Directshow filters installed, you should get full in-browser playback).
Internet Explorer 9 without Ogg/WebM support installed can presumably still play back Ogg video via the Cortado applet as in versions 8 and earlier (again, confimation would be appreciated!)
Opera long supported Ogg playback in developer builds, and finally shipped native Ogg support in release 10.5. As of 10.60, WebM is also natively supported.
Laugh if you must, but Navigator back to version 4 can play Ogg video via the Cortado applet.
Safari does not ship native support for Ogg or WebM video, however all versions can play Ogg video via the Cortado applet. With Cortado, playback is seamless but does not have a full set of HTML5 features; resolution switching and chapter navigation are disabled. Cortado has native support for Ogg Kate subtitles.
As of Safari 3.1, Safari supports full HTML5 Ogg video playback via the XiphQT Quicktime Components.
Standalone Players and Tools
Core Player
FFMPEG / ffplay
As of release 0.6, ffmpeg supports WebM playback, and Ogg playback is solid with the exception of surround support (eg 5.1 and other surround encodings produced my modern Vorbis encoders will not play).
Prior to ffmpeg 0.6, WebM was not supported and Ogg video playback was broken due to a number of longstanding bugs caused by treating Theora as if it was just VP3 (eg, the 'sheet lightning acid trip' bug that caused the image to disintegrate into a shower of colored blocks). Many applications and video sharing sites (such as YouTube) are still using old versions of ffmpeg internally, and as such, they cannot handle Ogg video unless it is encoded in 'vp3 compatability mode'.
Media Player Classic
Recent mplayer versions have good natives Ogg playback support and can handle WebM playback through libavcodec (ffmpeg libraries).
Mplayer has had a number of minor Ogg playback bugs in the past that mostly caused seeking or smoothness hiccups. Recent versions should have fixed all of the playback/seeking bugs of note.
Helix Player (Real)
Quicktime supports Ogg and WebM playback and encoding through the XiphQT Quicktime Components. These components also add Ogg support to Quicktime-aware applications such as Final Cut and Final Cut Pro.
Totem supports Ogg and WebM playback via native support in gstreamer.
VLC has had good native Ogg support since the GoldenEye release. Webm support is available in 1.1+.
Windows Media Player
WMP supports Ogg and WebM playback through the Open Codecs DirectShow filter pack.

My archive of more than 25,000 photos showcases Delhi's ongoing evolution. Each day five randomly picked pictures from this collection will be put up on the pages of this website.
The series is named in the memory of French artist Eugène Atget (1857-1927), who, in the words of a biographer, was an "obsessed photographer determined to document every corner of Paris before it disappeared under the assault of modern improvements."
Here are Delhi photos numbered 1 to 5.
1. Shakti Nagar
2. Dilli Haat
3. Mayur Vihar
4. Mathura Road
5. Patel Nagar

Our meat choice, the pork tenderloin, is one of the most user-friendly cuts ever. It requires about 3 minutes of trimming and you're ready to rock. The sauce is made in the pan after the meat is cooked and the sweet and tangy fruit sauce pairs perfectly with the spicy black pepper crust on the pork. Since most of these tenderloins are pretty standard size at about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each, 20 minutes at 375F after a good sear in the pan is going to give you a perfect medium almost every time.
By the way, you can use any vinegar and fruit preserve in this recipe and it will be great, although there is something about cherry and black pepper that's magical. Enjoy!
1 pork tenderloin (not loin)
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup black cherry preserves
salt to taste
lots of cracked black pepper
2 tbl butter

Note that, at least as of 5.3, you still aren't allowed to return a normal Array from getIterator().
In some places, the docs wrap the array into an ArrayObject and return that. DON'T DO IT. ArrayObject drops any empty-string keys on the floor when you iterate over it (again, at least as of 5.3).
Use ArrayIterator instead. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have its own set of wonderful bugs, but at the very least it works correctly when you use it with this method.

https://ccoutreach87.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/8-4-15-he-hung-himself.zip John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
John 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
John 12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
John 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
John 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
John 12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
John 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
John 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
John 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
John 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
John 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
John 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
John 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
John 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
John 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
John 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
John 12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
John 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
John 12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
John 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
John 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
John 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
John 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
John 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
John 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
John 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

May 21, 2012
by Evan Whitton
The lawyer-run adversary system used in Britain and its former colonies, including the United States, India, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia does not try to find the truth. It is the only system which conceals evidence. Our Corrupt Legal System explains why trial lawyers, famously economical with the truth, control evidence; civil hearings take weeks, months or years; in serious criminal cases, 24 anti-truth devices allow more than 50 percent of guilty accused to escape justice. By contrast, in the investigative system used in Europe and other countries, including Japan, trained judges control evidence and seek the truth; civil hearings take a few hours; 95 percent of guilty accused are convicted. It is the most widespread, accurate and cost-effective system. Russell Fox, an Australian judge who researched the law for 11 years, concluded: "The public estimation must be correct, that justice marches with the truth."
Evan Whitton began researching the two legal systems in 1991 after observing at first hand how each system dealt with the same criminal, Police Chief Sir Terence Lewis.
Whitton was chief reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald, and Reader in Journalism at the University of Queensland. He received the Walkley Award for National Journalism five times, and was Journalist of the Year 1983 for "courage and innovation" in reporting an inquiry into judicial corruption. He is now a columnist on a legal journal, Justinian.
Dr George Miller, director of Happy Feet (Academy Award), said Whitton is "a dazzling writer, incisive and addictive."
Phillip Knightley, twice British Journalist of the Year, called it "a masterpiece."
Dr. Robert Moles, LLB Hons Belfast, PhD Edinburgh, says Our Corrupt Legal System "is one of the most important books I have ever read on the common law legal system".
The book is available at bookdepository.com (free shipping worldwide), Amazon, etc. Six of his other non-fiction books are free online at www.netk.net.au/WhittonHome.asp
First, some definitions:
- Justice. Maat, goddess of justice in Egypt c. 2700 BC, had a feather in her cap. It symbolised justice, truth, morality. A U.S. judge, Harold Rothwax, said: "Without truth, there can be no justice." An Australian judge, Russell Fox, said justice means fairness; fairness to all and morality require a search for the truth; truth means reality. He also said: "The public estimation must be correct, that justice marches with the truth." The public thus know you can only be fair if you first find out what happened.
- Common law. Judge-made law used in Britain and its former colonies, including the United States, India, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
- The Gadarene Swine Fallacy (GSF). A group with the same beliefs is not necessarily heading in the right direction, e.g. going to war in Vietnam. England has not had a truth-seeking system for 1500 years, first by stupidity and then by cupidity, but common lawyers believe their system is the best. Justice, as Ludovic Kennedy noted, and Napoleon demonstrated, is too important to be left to judges. Or legal bureaucrats, academics, or law reform commissioners.
- Sophistry. The art of lying is to make others believe things the liar knows are false. The motive is gain. Sophists, described by Socrates as morally bankrupt and by Plato as charlatans, taught Athenian lawyers how "to make the weaker argument appear the stronger" 2500 years ago. Nothing changes. A U.S. lawyer, Charles Curtis, said a lawyer's function "is to lie for his client … He is required to make statements as well as arguments which he does not believe in."
U.S. film critic Joel Siegel said, "It's only the 99 percent of lawyers who give the rest a bad name." In fact, the bad name comes mainly from trial lawyers, some 40 percent of the total. The other 60 percent may be really nice persons who would never tell a lie. Common law judges are former trial lawyers untrained as judges.
- Corrupt. The Latin corruptus means broken in pieces. This book explains why and how justice is broken in our adversary system. It is instructive to compare it with the world's most widespread, accurate and cost-effective system: Napoleon's investigative (inquisitorial) system, now used in European countries, their former colonies, and Japan, South Korea and other countries.
Investigative system
Adversary system
Seeks truth
Conceals evidence
In charge of evidence
Length of trials
About a day
Months, years
Conviction rates
Under 50%
Innocent in prison
1% - 5%
Why are they so different? It is bootless to ask common lawyers. Law schools, in business for only 200 years, teach little legal history and slide round problems of truth and lawyer-control. George Orwell said: "The most powerful lie is the omission." The following may repair some omissions.
Roman law sought the truth, but in the Dark Ages after the Empire fell in 476, England and West Europe regressed to an anti-truth accusatorial system (A accused B; B said: Prove it!), barbaric ordeals and verdict by an unknown god. Suspect witches were trussed and thrown in the river. If they sank, they were innocent. If they floated, they were guilty, and were fished out and hanged or burned to death. (Malignant cross-examination to defeat truth is the modern ordeal; rape victims have vomited on the witness box.)
Dickens said: "The one great principle of the English law is to make business for itself", i.e. trial lawyers. In an irony that would have amused Bonaparte, it was a French organized criminal who was the remote cause of the bidness dagger being thrust into the heart of British justice. William II, son of Guillaume le Batard, institutionalised trickle-down extortion in the trade of authority (and was shot dead on 2 August 1100). Every public office, from Chancellor down, was thus for sale when the common law began in 1166. Buyers in turn extorted from people who had to deal with the office.
Extorting judges and their lawyer-bagmen formed an alliance. Law Professor Benjamin Barton, of the University of Tennessee, says judges tend to favor lawyers' financial interests. Judge Richard Posner, a U.S. economist and appellate judge, said lawyers and judges have always been "a cartel" aiming "to secure a lustrous place in the financial and social status sun."
Trial lawyers thus have power unique in legal systems. The common law might be termed cartel-made law. A cartel colludes to maximise members' profits, typically by increasing prices by 15-25 percent. The lawyer-judge cartel does rather better than that.
European courts adopted an investigative system after a church-state conference in Rome, at which England was represented, in November 1215. Unfortunately, European judges perverted justice for five centuries; they wrongly believed that torture produces truth.
Lawyers' role in a truth-seeking system is necessarily limited. English judges decided to reject the investigative system in 1219. As the truth door shuts, the sophistry door opens, to judges as well as lawyers. London's population was then about 25,000. The public is entitled to ask: Why should we be robbed of justice because a few crooks in a small town in England decided 800 years ago that truth does not matter?
Since 1350, lawyers have been the "dominant influence" in English-speaking legislatures. That is not fair to untrained liars.
The Adversary System
The adversary system is a lawyer-run variation of the anti-truth accusatorial system. It is thus an oxymoron, like military intelligence and legal ethics. The system dates from 1460, when judges began to let trial lawyers take over control of the civil process. For more than five centuries, that control has enabled lawyers to omit the damaging bits; spin out the pre-trial and trial process; and procure enough pelf to comfortably retire, if they choose, to the social status of untrained, uninformed and passive judge.
Judges of course do the decent thing; they try to stay awake – Lord Thankerton enraged barristers by knitting on the bench – but do they suddenly give up sophistry? Alan Dershowitz, a U.S. lawyer, said "lying, distortion, and other forms of intellectual dishonesty are endemic among judges." Two examples. The rule which allows suspects to refuse to give an explanation (and gets 25 percent of guilty accused off) is based on a lie. Another lie – absolutely does not mean absolutely – has made a lot of money for Australian tax lawyers, and has cost pay-as-you-earn taxpayers billions.
Extortion was not a 12th century aberration. An 18th century Chancellor, Lord Macclesfield, extorted bribes worth £500,000 today from barristers who wanted to be Masters in Chancery in order to extort from litigants. A barrister, Francis Elde, had to use a clothes-basket to carry the gold and notes to Macclesfield and his bagman, Master Peter Cottingham. In the late 20th century, 20 extorting Chicago judges and 50 of their bagmen, mostly lawyers, went to prison.
The cartel at work. About 1650, a Chancery judge ruled that in will cases lawyers were to be paid, not by clients, but from the deceased estates. Chancery judges then refused to finalize will cases for decades; lawyers appeared at periodic hearings to milk the estates. Jennens v Jennens, the model for Dickens' Jarndyce v Jarndyce, began in 1798 and ended in 117 years later, in 1915, when lawyers and judges had "devoured" the remnants of an estate worth some £500 million today.
Lawyers did not defend criminals until the rise of blue collar organized crime in the 18th century made it financially worthwhile for them to take over control of the criminal process. The low conviction rate (see diagram above) is due to judges' invention since then of 20 anti-truth devices, including six rules which conceal highly relevant evidence from jurors. The excuse for hiding evidence is that it makes trial fair; it protects accused from juror prejudice. That is code for: jurors are stupid.
A number of things can be said about that. No other system hides evidence. Jurors were held to be competent to hear all the evidence for 600 years, and then suddenly became stupid. The same evidence is concealed from judges when they sit without a jury. Judges must thus be just as stupid as jurors are supposed to be. Fairness means truth. The system is unfair to victims, police, prosecutors, jurors, the community, and the taxpayers who fund it.
Alan Dershowitz said: "The American criminal justice system is corrupt to its core … The corruption lies … in its processes …" He said all defense lawyers, prosecutors and judges know "almost all" (say 95 percent) of accused are guilty. They are thus almost always, in effect, accomplices after the fact. In 1994, NSW judges sitting alone (and hiding evidence from themselves) convicted only 25 percent of accused. Honest cops doggedly investigating crime are plainly of more use to society than judges and trial lawyers.
Napoleon had time to reform and codify the investigative system only because, by a fluke, his generals, Desaix, Marmont and Kellermann, crushed Austria at the Battle of Chicken Marengo in 1800. His system is generally accurate because trained judges search for the truth, and is cost-effective because they have no incentive to spin the process out. The system puts away more than twice as many major criminals at half the cost. On average, the cost of a libel action in England is 140 times that of a libel action in Europe.
The adversary system is biased against people in business, industry, medicine, and the media, and in favor of criminals. The bias makes business for trial lawyers and the rule of law a joke in the worst possible taste. Citizens on sophistry watch must have the hopeless feeling that any judgment or verdict may be right, or it may not.
The remedy is simple. Common law countries already use an investigative system when they need to find the truth. Six times as many judges (and fewer lawyers) will be needed, but the law will be cheaper as well as more just. Academics will have to be retrained, but searching for the truth is easier than mugging up 24 ways to conceal or otherwise defeat it. The cartel can then be dismantled by training judges separately from lawyers, as they do in Europe.
All we are saying, is give truth a chance. But trial lawyers, academics and, behind the scenes, legal bureaucrats will offer noisy resistance, as in India (conviction rate 16 percent) when an inquiry recommended changing to a truth-seeking criminal system.
Lawyers are only 0.2 percent of the population, and their utterance may be mere sophistry informed by the Gadarene Swine Fallacy, but their access to the media is as disproportionate as their numbers in legislatures. The parrot-house, however, can be safely ignored. The public knows that justice means truth; the vast majority of voters will support change to a What happened? system.
