Revolution and Reaction in Europe summary
Revolution and Reaction in Europe (1815-1848)
After me, the Revolution---or, rather, the ideas which formed it---will resume their course. It will be like a book from which the marker is removed, and one starts to read again at the page where one left off. — Napoleon Bonaparte
The Congress of Vienna
Despite his defeat, Napoleon had several important effects on Europe. For one thing, he had spread the idea of liberalism, especially in Western and Central Europe. By the same token, he had also spread the idea of nationalism in East and Central Europe. Finally, his defeat prompted the victors to meet at the Congress of Vienna with the goal of turning back the clock to restore the Europe that had existed before the French Revolution. This was especially the goal of the brilliant Austrian minister, Metternich who led much of the deliberations at Vienna.
The most pressing issue was what to do about France: punish it for causing all this trouble, or restore it to its former position as one of the great powers. Realizing that breaking up France would upset the balance of power, destabilize Europe, and lead to more revolutions, the allies restored it to its old position, punishing it with only a mild indemnity and short military occupation. However, the new king, Louis XVIII, was a constitutional, not an absolute monarch. Even in defeat, the French Revolution had made progress.
There were other changes in the political map of Europe and the world. Britain took South Africa from the Dutch to secure its sea route to India. In compensation, the Dutch got the Austrian Netherlands from Austria, which in turn received control of Northern Italy. The Grand Duchy of Warsaw formed by Napoleon, continued to exist as the Kingdom of Poland, although its king also happened to be the Czar of Russia. And Germany, thanks largely to Napoleon's administrative work, was consolidated into 38 states. These last three changes would all contribute to nationalist revolts in succeeding years.
For the time being, the Congress of Vienna did restore the old order and a period of relative international peace known as the Concert of Europe, since it saw the major powers working largely together for several years to guard the common peace and old order. However, the ideas born in the French Revolution and spread by Napoleon had not been eliminated. The seeds of revolution had taken root and were spreading rapidly across the face of Europe. Like it or not, the age of kings was in its twilight and a new age of democratic and nationalistic reforms and upheavals was dawning.
The pattern of revolts
The period 1815-48 saw periods of apparent tranquility broken by recurring waves of revolution. In two of three cases (1830 and 1848), these revolutionary movements started in France and inspired similar outbreaks all over Europe. Generally, revolutions in Western Europe focused on liberal reforms, since, with the exception of Belgium, nation states with a strong middle class were already established there. Eastern Europe, with its multi-national empires, saw more nationalist uprisings as various ethnic groups wanted independence from the Hapsburg, Ottoman, and Russian empires. Germany and Italy, in the middle of Europe, were especially turbulent since they were striving for both national unification and liberal civil rights.
A basic pattern of events emerged during this period. Authorities would think they had crushed the ideas of liberalism and nationalism. However, they had merely driven these ideas underground where they would continue to spread and revolutions would flare up again. While most of them would be suppressed, one or two would succeed and might prompt more liberal reforms in countries where the uprisings had been put down. Rulers would again think they had suppressed the revolutionary ideas, and the cycle would repeat. There were three major waves of revolutions: in the 1820's, 1830's, and 1848.
In 1820 the revolutions started in Spain and spread to Greece, South America, and Germany. Most of these were put down, but Greece and the South American colonies did win their independence, with a constitutional monarchy established in Greece and republics in South America. The next wave of revolutions would start in France in 1830 and spread to Poland, Belgium, Italy, and Germany. While the uprisings in Germany, Italy, and Poland were crushed, France won a slightly more liberal constitutional monarchy, Belgium won its freedom, and more liberal reforms were peacefully passed in Britain.
The final, and biggest, wave of revolutions occurred in 1848, with some fifty uprisings taking place across Europe. The French this time established a republic, only to have it taken over by a dictator, Napoleon III, and turned into the Second Empire. Elsewhere, other revolutions collapsed, but they did lead to some reforms. Serfdom was abolished in the Hapsburg Empire while a weak constitutional monarchy was established in Prussia. Despite apparent failure, nationalist reformers would learn from their mistakes and set more realistic goals and strategies toward attaining national unity in Germany and Italy by 1871.
Revolutions in the 1820's
It took only five years before a new wave of revolutions threatened the old order recently reestablished by Metternich and the Congress of Vienna. Ironically, it was one of the more backward countries of Western Europe, Spain, that led the way. A number of liberal army officers, apparently influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution, rebelled against the corrupt and repressive rule of the Bourbon king, Ferdinand VII. As if on cue, riots and revolts broke out all over: in Italy, Germany, Russia (1825), the Spanish American colonies, and Romania and Greece in the Ottoman Empire. In most cases these revolts were put down. Austria suppressed the revolts in Italy and unrest in Germany. France, despite some protests from Britain, put down the revolution in Spain. The new czar, Nicholas I, had no trouble crushing the Decembrist Revolution led by liberal army officers (many of whom thought that their battle cry, "Constantine and Constitution", referred to their liberal candidate for the throne, Constantine, and his wife). Likewise, the Ottoman Turks put down the Romanian uprising.
However, in two cases on the fringes of European power, Greece and the Spanish American colonies, revolutions succeeded for reasons peculiar to each situation. In the case of the Greek revolt, it was a romantic sentiment for ancient Greece, home of democracy and Western Civilization that sparked popular support for the Greeks. The fact that the Greek rebels were descendants of Slavic invaders of the early middle ages, not the Greeks from the time of Pericles and Socrates, made little impact on the European public. In fact, many of them, including the Romantic poet, Byron, went there as freedom fighters. In the end, the European powers, having little regard for the non-Christian Turks and fearing Russian aggression that might threaten the balance of power in southeastern Europe, pressured the Ottomans to grant Greece its freedom. In the style of the day, the Greeks established a constitutional, not absolute, monarchy in 1832. It was the first major break in the old order since the Congress of Vienna.
The Spanish American colonies had taken advantage of the revolution in Spain to throw off the yoke of Spanish rule. Much of their inspiration came from the newly formed republic to the north, the United States. It was the United States that also stood up to protect the Americas from foreign intervention in the famous Monroe Doctrine in 1823. More important than the fledgling American republic's stand was Britain, which supported the revolutions to so it could break Spain's mercantilist monopoly on trade and open new markets for British merchants to exploit. Spain could ignore the Monroe Doctrine, but it could not ignore the power of the British navy, so its American colonies went free.
However, independence brought two sources of instability to Latin America. For one thing, most Spanish bureaucrats fled back to Spain, leaving few trained bureaucrats to handle government business. As a result, the armies that won the revolutions were often the only means of keeping matters under control. Second, with Latin American markets now open for free trade, Britain and other European countries encouraged the production of one type of commodity in each nation, such as beef in Argentina or copper in Chile. This made each new nation too dependent on international markets for its one product. Therefore, if the market for their product fell, their economy would have nothing else to fall back upon. This happened to El Salvador in the late 1800's when cheaper industrially produced dyes destroyed the need for its indigo dye, thus wrecking its economy. Together, these factors led to unstable economic and political structures in Latin America encouraging rule by military dictatorships.
Revolutionary fever spreads: the 1830's
By the mid 1820's, most of Europe was pacified once again. However, the ideas of nationalism and liberalism, still simmering under the surface, broke loose again in 1830. Once again, the trouble started in France. The government of the restored king, Louis XVIII (1815-24), was a moderate constitutional monarchy with a legislature elected by a narrow electorate of 100,000 property owners. Louis realized that, after a quarter century of revolution, he had to treat the French people with care. His brother and successor, Charles X (1824-30) was not so wise. He censored the press, restored the clergy's position in the schools and politics, tried to bring back feudalism, gave pensions to nobles who had lost lands and rights from the Revolution, and dissolved the legislature.
In 1830, the Parisians revolted and barricaded Paris' narrow streets. The army refused to fire on the crowd, and Charles fled to England (a common habit for deposed kings back then). Now the question was: what type of government to set up. Students, intellectuals, and the Parisians wanted a republic. However, the middle class, probably with the backing of the more conservative peasantry, prevailed in its desire for a constitutional monarchy. The new king, Louis Philippe, known as the "Citizen King", was a man with little to commend him except that he was both a Bourbon and a former revolutionary, thus satisfying everyone, or no one as it turned out. Admittedly, his constitution was a bit more liberal than the previous one, with 200,000 property owners given the right to elect the legislature. Things did settle down in France for a few years, but not before revolutionary turmoil flared up all over Europe.
Word of events in France triggered revolts in Belgium, Italy, Germany, and Poland, plus giving further impetus to a reform movement in Britain. Austria put down the uprisings in Germany and Italy were suppressed by Austria, while Czar Nicholas I easily crushed the Polish rebellion against Russia. The one successful revolution was in Belgium where religious and linguistic differences with the ruling Dutch caused deep resentment that erupted into open rebellion in 1830. Austria and Prussia wanted to put this revolt down, but France and Britain supported the Belgian cause, largely to keep the other two powers from meddling so close to their shores. Since Austria and Prussia were also preoccupied with the Polish revolt, France and Britain could pressure Holland to recognize Belgian freedom in 1832. As was becoming the norm, a constitutional monarchy was established.
Although Britain did not experience revolution, it did see a strong reform movement that liberalized the criminal code and culminated in the Reform Bill of 1832. Electoral representation was redistributed to reflect the shift in population to the rapidly industrializing northern counties. The vote was extended to about 20% of British men (twice of what it was before). The Reform Bill of 1832 also opened the door for more liberal reforms as the century progressed: extending the vote to urban workers (1867) and miners (1884) and also instituting the secret ballot. Finally, after a long struggle, even women would get the vote in 1917. Although Britain remained technically a constitutional monarchy, by the early part of this century it was essentially a modern democracy.
The Revolutions of 1848
The success of revolutionary and reform movements in Western, Europe and frustration at the failure of other similar movements in Central and Eastern Europe led to the spread of liberal and nationalist ideas in the 1830's and 1840's. Economic forces also played a role in spreading discontent. A series of bad harvests in the 1840's caused starvation (with one million people dying in Ireland from a severe potato famine), which led in turn to higher food prices, bankruptcies, unemployment and urban unrest. Once again, events in France sparked a new wave of revolutions.
The government of the "Citizen King", Louis Philippe, had proven to be conservative, corrupt and unpopular, and in 1848 revolution broke out in Paris. Just like in 1830, the barricades went up in Paris' narrow streets, the army refused to fire on the crowd, and the king fled to Britain. And just like before, revolutionary fever spread all over Europe, with close to 50 revolutions erupting in the German states, Italian states, and Hapsburg Empire.
The suddenness and scale of the uprisings caught rulers completely by surprise. In Germany, they agreed to more liberal constitutions, while a convention was held at Frankfurt to establish a national parliament for all of Germany. In Italy, the Austrians were driven out of Milan and Venice, while rulers in Naples, Tuscany, and Piedmont agreed to liberal reforms. In the Hapsburg Empire, a Hungarian revolt triggered similar revolts by Czechs, Croats, Galicians, and Transylvanians living under Hapsburg rule. Metternich, the conservative prime minister and architect of the Congress of Vienna, was forced to resign, and the emperor fled to Innsbruck. It seemed like the old regime was about to collapse all over Europe. But just as events in France had set off these revolutions, events there led the way in suppressing them.
This time, the French established a republic where all Frenchmen could vote for delegates to a convention to draw up a new constitution. However, it reflected the more conservative views of French peasants and middle class, which touched off riots by the urban masses suffering from lack of food and shelter in the recent economic troubles. The army met the crowd's cry of "Bread or Lead" with a hail of lead from artillery fire, killing 10,000 demonstrators. This was a turning point in suppressing radicals both in France and across Europe.
In France, the establishment of the Second Republic led to the election of Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew, Napoleon III, who, like his uncle, used a military coup to extend his presidency and then make himself emperor of the Second Empire (1852-70). Victor Hugo, in his The History of a Crime, described this coup in grim terms that probably would apply to any demonstrations and riots of the time:
"Suddenly, at a given signal, a...shower of bullets poured upon the crowd....Eleven pieces of cannon wrecked the Sallandrouze carpet warehouse. The shot tore completely through twenty-eight houses. The baths of Jouvence were riddled. There was a massacre at Tortoni's [cafe]. A whole quarter of Paris was filled with an immense flying mass, and with a terrible cry....
"Adde, a bookseller of 17, Boulevard Possonniere, is standing before his door; they kill him. At the same moment, for the field of murder is vast, at a considerable distance from there, at 5, Rue de Lancry, M. Thirion de Montauban, owner of the house, is at his door; they kill him. In the Rue Tiquetonne, a child of seven years, named Boursier, is passing by; they kill him. Mlle. Soulac, 196, Rue du Temple, opens her window; they kill her...
"New Year's Day was not far off, some shops were full of New Years' gifts. In the Passage du Saumon, a child of thirteen, flying before the platoon firing, hid himself in one of these shops, beneath a heap of toys. He was captured and killed. Those who killed him laughingly widened his wounds with their swords. A woman told me, 'The cries of the poor little fellow could be heard all through the passage.' Four men were shot before the same shop....
"At the corner of the Rue du Sentier an officer of Spahis, with his sword raised, cried out, '...Fire on the women.' A woman was fleeing, she was with child, she falls, they deliver her by the means of the butt-ends of their muskets. Another, perfectly distracted, was turning the corner of a street. She was carrying a child. Two soldiers aimed at her. One said, 'At the woman!' And he brought down the woman. The child rolled on the pavement. The other soldier said, 'At the child!' And he killed the child....
"In the Rue Mandar, there was, stated an eyewitness, 'a rosary of corpses,' reaching as far as the Rue Neuve Sainte-Eustache. Before the house of Odier twenty-six corpses, thirty before the Hotel Montmorency. Fifty-two before the Varietes, of whom eleven were women. In the Rue Grange-Bateliere there were three naked corpses. No. 19, Fauborg Montmartre, was full of dead and wounded. A woman, flying and maddened with dishevelled hair and her arms raised aloft, ran along the Rue Poissoniere, crying, 'They kill! they kill! they kill! they kill! they kill!'"
Despite its violent beginning, Napoleon III's rule was much more peaceful than that of his uncle. France's prosperity rapidly grew as he promoted the building of industries and a centralized railroad network. He also put Paris through an extensive urban renewal project, providing the city with wide boulevards that critics were quick to point out could not be barricaded so easily in the event of revolution. Napoleon's reign would come to an end in 1870 after a disastrous war against Prussia in its final stage of unifying Germany. In his wake came the Third Republic of France. With the exception of Nazi rule in the 1940's, democracy has prevailed in France ever since.
Meanwhile, in the rest of Europe, the defeat of the more radical elements in France gave heart to other kings and princes reeling from the current wave of revolutions. Just as quickly as the revolutions had nearly overthrown established governments in Italy, Germany, and the Hapsburg Empire, they were crushed. By the end of 1848, the old regimes were back on top, and nothing seemed to have been gained.
Even in failure, the revolutions of 1848 did have positive results. For one thing, several reforms, such as the abolition of serfdom in the Hapsburg Empire and the granting of at least nominal constitutions in the German states signaled some progress. The spirit of reform extended even further east to Russia where serfdom was abolished in 1861. Second, despite their failure, the revolutions spread the popularity of liberal and nationalist causes. Failure also taught reformers to be more realistic in trying to attain more liberal reforms or national unification. Two such men in particular, Camillo Cavour in Italy and Otto von Bismarck in Germany, clearly recognized these lessons and skillfully put them to work in building nations forged, as Bismarck would put it, from "blood and iron".

Pretty sloppy looking at this point, it is a mix of a bright blue tint, soft blue/violet, and a brown for shadow
A closer look at that left side of the dress, I work from left to right so my hand doesn't smudge what I just put down. I am adding in some light pinks, a brighter red/violet and dabbing a bit with a light blue to build a flower pattern.
I realize at this point I don't actually own the exact pastel colour that I want to use to build the violet tone (that's okay, my birthday is coming soon) so I pull out a dark blue and use it to both blend and add detail. I've also added some light yellow/green detailing to build leaf patterns.
A closer look at the pattern. Getting the glow of the sun on the fabric to really 'shine' by very lightly adding a vibrant pink.
And there it is... I also put in the leg of the bear but don't have the shoes/socks complete yet.

I said some harsh words about the Olympic opening ceremony a week ago. But I'm not for a minute one of the disgusted moaners who were featured on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme yesterday. I'm thoroughly gusted about the Olympics, as it happens.
Neither do I think that the current love affair being conducted between the nation and several hundred mostly obscure athletes is all about the hype. Of course, some of it is about hype. The Daily Mail's campaign highlighting the 'plastic Brits' will probably be overthrown this week - if it's not already - by default jingoism about British heroism. We're accustomed to, and (I believe) rightly cynical about, the warped image of the nation which is found in those pages (not to mention the pages of many papers right and left).
But, as I say, it is not just about the hype. I could cite the traditional British interest in sports over everything else, though I dare say this only accounts for a small proportion of the current national enthusiasms. I wonder if our system of universal education (or 'edumacation', as I prefer) explains such widespread attachment to these sporting events. I don't remember the sporty people being especially popular at school. This isn't the States, for goodness' sake!
Ultimately, I'm inclined to think that the real hook drawing in the national mind and heart is the story of struggle and victory which each event tells. Maybe it's because struggle in sport is 'safe' and so we can happily afford to watch its denouement without thinking it has anything to do with us. Or maybe - to be less cynical about it - we recognise something fundamentally good about struggle which is hardly represented by our MFI-sofaed, air-conditioned, rich-on-credit lifestyles. In either case, these games are drawing us in. And we are gung-ho for sports we have never even heard of, let alone ever practised.
I suppose another factor here has to be the digitalisation of the games. I recently heard about three Birmingham men who, in 1948, rode over a hundred miles on their bicycles to London to go and watch the Games. Silly buggers! Now, not only can you watch the main events on TV, like you could in the 1990s; you can watch any event you want just by swallowing the red pill, er ... pressing the red button (except ours doesn't seem to work). It makes me wonder what this wonderful world of choice leaves unsaid and undone, not to say unsayable and undoable. We know it's a universal, unimpeachable boon. I'm just wondering what the down side is.
Anyway, must dash. I think it's the semi-finals of the Tiddlewinks in ten minutes ...

Thank you so much for these recipes and the great food storage info. Do you store the recipes right in the bag or do you file them in a different place?

I laminate the tags and punch a hole in the corner. I tie the tag to my bag handle with a little piece of ribbon so that I will always be able to know what's inside and how to make it!
Hope that helps!

Was in a funk last night and not really interested in spending much time in the kitchen. Made this for hubby and I as teen daughters were out. Hubby loved it. I thought it was ok. Is a good base recipe. To be fair, I'm sure brands make a difference, and I used chili beans without meat (what I had). I think I would add some of my home-canned beef or chicken next time. I would have liked using the tomatoes with chilies in them or maybe adding some jalapeno. I was afraid the liquid from the corn might make it taste too sweet, but not to worry. Hubby did add a bit of hot sauce to his - always does. I also used 3T of the taco seasoning. However, for a 3-month recipe, ease, comfort, this is great. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the rest.

I was wondering with all your bag meals do you have somewhere that tells the how many per serving?

The Bag Meals serve 5-6 people. I'm so glad you pointed that out!

Bangkok to Pattaya
Pattaya is somehow encircled with beaches the best known in the city center is Beach Road means the extension of "Walking Street" to the south.
If you walk down change the side dont walk along the waterside its better to use the other side where the shops and restaurants line up. Why? The waterfront side is infested with ladyboy gangs which try to rob you sometimes it looks to me as if all the scum of Thailand has been settled in Pattaya and think the tourists are their pray. Actually it got a bit better since the military took over but before the police took their share and they could do what they wanted.
In any case the normal response is keep stay away from them since they are usually ugly one wonders why men are interested in them. Okay they are cheaper but the risk to deal with sick people and the crime rate makes them off limit. Pattaya in Chonburi province can be a good place to live but as indicated before it needs to be careful because far to many Thai criminals travel to the tourist centers and try hit and run on the foreigners. This thing is the police let them do it because they are Thai.

Pictures of Pattaya Beaches
Pattaya Beaches are long stretched along the Gulf of Thailand. Resorts are constantly added mainly along the south.
There is plenty of space foreigners retirement is also one of the driving factors of the hotel boom but currently (2017) its a a Russian frenzy.
Its unbelievable, the city and also Phuket is virtually under "Russian occupation", the problem with the local businesses is they don't create much of business means in the shops its mainly only vodka and some food like potatoes and white bread stuff to take back to the hotel or apartment and make their typical food.
They don't spend much money in restaurants, bars and nightclubs, asking any Thai shop owner they almost cry and ask where have the EU, US and Australian tourist gone.

Here is one of the major sightseeing spots in Pattaya City and a very interesting one too but as indicated before be extremly vigilant.
Especially in the evening and night strange stuff is going on freelancer are around plus hooker and more most are ladyboys all are after your money. Sometimes the
Thai police try to do something on the ladyboy
problem but usually in vain.
Jomtiem Beach
Pattaya Waterfront Photos
Jomtien Beach is the second city center at the south end.
Beyond is an
stretch of sand along the Gulf of Thailand and after about 300 km to the south is the Cambodian border at Koh Kong. Here is most bigger industry and a deep sea port located plus the renovated U-Tapao airport which was already in use by the US forces during the Vietnam War. Actually Pattaya is an appanage of the Vietnam war it functioned as a recreation point for the GI. Somehow similar to Clarke Airbase near Manila Philippines.
From Pattaya City center its around 2 km. Only about 20 years ago this was a fishing village where the fishermen went out into the Gulf of Thailand in the night to catch this seafood the foreigners will eat the next day, it came fresh to the Pattaya hotels and restaurants.
Jomtien Beach is ok for families and single only moderate bar girls business is around.

text: The USD/CAD pair initially fell on Friday, but found enough support near the 1.30 level to turn things back around. By doing so, it looks as if the market is ready to continue to try to go higher. If we can break above the 1.32 handle, we feel that this market continues to go towards the 1.35 level. Oil markets look very susceptible to selling pressure right now, so we could get that move fairly soon as the Canadian dollar is so highly influenced by petroleum. We have no interest in selling as we see massive amounts of support below.

A date with Tarzan8 comments Posted by Sandi at Friday, September 28, 2007
It's Friday. We both had interesting days. Tarzan called me and asked if he could take me out to dinner. I, of course, said "yes."
We got in the car and started out. He asked, "Where would you like to go?"
Once again, I was sucked into answering that dreaded question. "Rubio's" I said.
"Oh, I was thinking Applebees."
"Okay. That's fine with me. Let's go to Applebees."
We headed west to the Applebees on 51st Avenue. There were people everywhere waiting in line. Tarzan said, "I'm not in the mood to wait in a line like that. Let's go somewhere else." He began to drive again and stared down the road to our house.
I asked, "where are we going?" Thinking he had decided to just go home.
"The Casino. I feel like a good steak." We headed south on 51st Avenue.
At the Casino, the smell of cigarette smoke was overpowering. They no longer had a "restaurant." They only had a deli. What? You can always get good food in a casino. Well, apparently things have changed. We coughed our way out to the car and I, stupidly, made a second suggestions.
"There is a new Bistro on 16th Street and Baseline. They were featured in the South Mountain magazine."
"Okay, Let's try that." This should be fun, Tarzan and I love to try new things. We headed east to 16th Street.
We pull up into the parking lot and I notice it was an Italian Restaurant--no steaks there. I mentioned that to Tarzan, but it was too late, the saga had begun. Tarzan was complaining about the parking. He thought it was not well lit. The parking lot had about 30 spaces and we were in the parking lot a full 15 minutes trying to get the best spot (there were only 2 empty spots). We finally parked and I got out of the car, with my neck muscles pulled tight, like that girl in As Good As It Gets, I think her name is Helen Hunt. As I stepped to the back of the car, two cars pulled out, right up by the front door. I suggested Tarzan move the car and he jumped at the chance.
We went into the restaurant and Tarzan started to sulk. We had to wait about five minutes and he said he would wait outside. I should have known right them that we should turn around and walk out. We were in the restaurant about 1 hour while I heard about the fact that he was not in the mood for italian food, the music was too loud, they didn't have booths, we had to sit at a table, the woman at the table next to us had an ugly nose and he couldn't stop looking at it, the family that came in with a child who was metally challenged and how miserable that must be to have to take him on every date. I thought they were probably having as much fun as I was. He even commented on the fact that it was obvious this place had not been built to be a resaturant. Whatever.
So Tarzan ordered just an appetizer and I ordered a pasta dish. I said, "that's not going to be enough food for you." He said, "I plan to stop at Kentucky Fried Chicken on the way home." I asked why we didn't just leave and he said he didn't want to always go to the places he wants to go, but that I should be able to pick the place sometimes.
I told him never to do that again, I don't care where we eat, I'm not picky. I would rather have hot dogs at Circle K than have him be miserable at a fancy restaurant. Well, we ate and I had most of mine put in a to go box so we could get out of there.
We got in the car and headed to Kentucky Fried Chicken. We were both laughing by then at what a lousy experience that was. It was certainly not romantic or relaxing. We pulled into the KFC parking lot and I contemplated staying in the car (Tarzan doesn't do drive through). I decided to be a good sport and go in.
As we started in, Tarzan said, "I hope you don't ruin my choice of eating establishments with a bad attitude." We both started to laugh and I turned my nose up and said, "Yuck, that guy is spraying for bugs outside the restaurant." "Euwww, the floor is dirty." "Gag, the place smells like grease." By then we were both nearly in tears with laughter. We stepped up to the counter and no one spoke to us. We waited about 5 minutes while the employees argued about their private lives. Then Pedro, a young man stepped up to the cash register and say "Yo, man wachu want." Tarzan made his order. Then we waited while he put hand cleaner on his one hand that was not bandaged and started to get the chicken, we both started to say something about sanitation, when the girl he had been talking to stepped up and got the chicken for us. They continued their personal conversation and she put the lid on the bucket and brought it up to the counter and plopped it on the counter without looking at us, without saying "have a nice evening," without saying "drop dead" or anything.
Tarzan said in a loud voice, "Thank you for the chicken." She looked up in surprise and Tarzan asked to speak to the manager. Leaving out the details here, let me just say the service was like that because the manager could care less about our complaint.
We got in the car with our chicken and started home. About one block away we began to laugh again and decided that next time we would just buy steak at Bashas and grill them. So, here we are staying up late watching movies while we still have free HBO and Show Time. We have to stay up late because it took us so long to get food that we can't go right to bed or we will both get heartburn.
SPT I've been meaning to do that for the longest time8 comments Posted by Sandi at Tuesday, September 25, 2007
My whole life I have hated to miss out on anything!!! I hate to leave the room because you will have fun when I leave. I hate to be sent to bed early because you will have fun as soon as I fall asleep. I hate to miss church because they will have the best sermon and the best music on the day I miss. I hate to be left out when someone has a party, they will surely have a good time without me.
My mother jokes (to my embarrasement) that when I was a little girl and we lived in Germany, no matter where we were you could find us by asking if anyone had seen the American family with the little girl who has her hands between her legs. She will then demonstrate what a little girl, needing to go to the bathroom, does.
Nothing has changed, I will put it off until I am miserable and when I finally give in, I am so glad to complete a task I have been meaning to do for the longest time.

When to Wash Your Hands. SPT4 comments Posted by Sandi at Monday, September 17, 2007
Ignore the date, the battery died on my camera. I need a pedicure! Don't you think washing your hands after handling your feet is a good choice here?
I personally wash my hands all the time. Since I was treated for HCV, I am a nut about it. Also, I work on computers and it is SO GROSS to work on someone's computer when the keyboard has enough food in it to feed the hungry and you can tell they never wash their hands because the keys are so filthy.

I had to dismantle my photo album to do this so you got a few extras. Notice one in particular taken in Germany, note the chain around my neck, I'll blog about it later. As for first day of school memories. I have to say that is one memory I don't have, I can tell you all kinds of other things about school days, but not the first day back, ever in all 12 years K-12.
I lead an interesting life6 comments Posted by Sandi at Saturday, September 08, 2007
I went to Labcor to have a blood test. Since I had to fast for the test and I had a RS Presidency meeting at 8:30, I arrived early. There was a sign up sheet in the hall for those who arrived early to sign up in order of their arrival. When I got there, 2 men were standing in the hall and 1 man came up right after me.
They informed me of the procedure for signing up. I stepped up to the sign in sheet and without thinking, signed my name SANDI HEYWOOD. The 3rd man, stepped up to sign his name and I suddently realized what I had done and told the men in the hall with me. We all laughed and I corrected it. SANDI GRANDBERRY.
Now, I only tell you this because it was a lead in to what happened next.
One of the men started to tease me saying that I must still have a crush on my first husband, which brought up the subject of his wife.
"I have been with my sweetheart for 30 years." He bragged. "I even went to prison and I came back to her."
I tried to be light with such new found information and said, "Did she send you there?"
He came right back with, "Hell, no, I would have kicked her out if she had been the cause of my going to jail."
Now, the 3rd man spoke up. "Hey man, where did you serve? I just got out 2 weeks ago. Maybe I know some of your people."
1st Man, "Oh, man, I was in Florence, 15 years. My brother is in prison in California now. He started here in Phoenix, and they transferred him all over the place. He was out for 1 week and he got put back in for killing a cop. He's doing life now."
3rd Man, "What is your brother's name, maybe I know him."
1st Man sayed his brother's name and 3rd Man replied that it sounded familiar.
The 2nd man in the hall gave me a sideways glance at this point and looked a little nervous. I just stood there and listened while they bragged about their prison experiences. 1st Man had been in prison for hauling a truckload of drugs. 3rd Man had been in prison for a serious assault (translated later to "I nearly killed the guy.") I just stood there and tried to think of something appropriate to say. Nothing came to mind.
1st Man went in to get his blood test and the 2nd Man came over and sat by me. It seems that the 1st Man had Hepatitis C. I told him that I got Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion with blood given by a man just like him. He was very sympathetic.
I bet I am the only Relief Society President who has had two such interesting experiences. The first time, I was riding the city bus when two young men got on a full bus and stood holding on and leaning over me when one said, "Hey man, it stinks on this bus, it reminds me of prison. Everyone lined up and it smells like stinky feet."
Yes, I lead an intersting life.

End of Summer Self Portrait--SPT6 comments Posted by Sandi at Sunday, September 02, 2007
It's the end of summer and it's still hot and I have a scar on my neck and feet from having moles and warts removed and I haven't lost any weight because it has been too hot to move and we went a couple of weeks with an air conditioner that limped along and Tarzan got bit by a snake which put me into an ice cream eating frenzy and sleep deprivation. But now it is going to be fall soon and the weather will cool down and everything will be better.

Earlier today, on March 22nd, a significant occult date and the beginning of what is known as the forty day season of sacrifice, the Westminster terror incident took place, as was reported.
The attack involved a man driving into a crowd of pedestrians outside of the House of Parliament, hitting 12 and injuring ten in the process.
After slamming his vehicle into a railing, he managed to break into the building and stabbed a police officer before being gunned down by armed guards.
UK authorities declared the incident a terror attack, but have offered no suspects and no subversive group has claimed responsibility as of yet.
This event took place on the one-year anniversary of the Brussels attacks. Coincidence?
Related The 40-Day Season of Sacrifice: March (19th or 22nd) to May 1st | Manipulating the Collective Consciousness of Humanity Using Mass Black Magic Rituals
According to The Mirror, the following image was captured of the gunned down suspect as he was being taken into an ambulance shortly after police shot him at around 2:30 pm local time.
The attacker appears to be a middle-aged Asian man. No manifesto of his intention has surfaced as of yet—a crucial piece of evidence needed to support the authorities claim of terrorism.
Here is an image of what authorities believe occurred during the attack.
The attacker was driving an SUV that hit 12 pedestrians in the initial event.
One witness reported:
We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long. And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood.
He had a lightweight jacket on, dark trousers and a shirt. He was running through those gates, towards Parliament, and the police were chasing him.
More reports compiled via Zero Hedge:
Mail journalist Quentin Letts saw the incident out of the window of a Commons office. He told the BBC: "We heard this sound that sounded like a car crash…. Then we saw a thick set man in black clothes come through the gates where people would normally drive cars. This man had something in his hand. It looked like a stick. He was challenged by two policemen. The policeman fell down. We could see the man in black moving his arm in a way that suggested he was either striking or stabbing."
Kevin Schofield, the editor of PoliticsHome.com heard "a very loud bang" from the press gallery inside the Houses of Parliament followed by lots of shouting and men running around. He initially thought it was a car crash but then he looked outside the window to a heavily-guarded area outside which is out of bounds to the public.
He told Sky News: "Someone rushed through, attacked a policeman, a policeman went down, another policeman came and he was rescued. The man who had assaulted him got up and he appeared to be carrying either a knife or a gun. Then we heard gunfire, lots of gunfire, maybe five or six rounds. All I remember seeing is the man approaching the police officer probably with a knife and then there was gunfire."
Eyewitness Rick Longley described the attack saying: "We were just walking up to the station and there was a loud bang and a guy, someone, crashed a car and took some pedestrians out. They were just laying there and then the whole crowd just surged around the corner by the gates just opposite Big Ben. A guy came past my right shoulder with a big knife and just started plunging it into the policeman. I have never seen anything like that. I just can't believe what I just saw."
After the incident, Radoslaw Sikorski posted a video to Twitter purporting to show people lying injured in the road on Westminster Bridge. Mr Sikorski, a senior fellow at Harvard's Centre for European Studies, wrote: "A car on Westminster Bridge has just mowed down at least 5 people."
People outside the palace could be seen running from the scene when the shots were heard. An eye witness said that a car was seen to mow down five people on Westminster Bridge. Police are then believed to have shot a man who tried to enter the Parliamentary Estate. The dramatic incident comes weeks after it was revealed that UK security services have foiled 13 potential attacks in less than four years, while counter-terrorism units are running more than 500 investigations at any time.
The official threat level for international terrorism has stood at severe, meaning an attack is "highly likely," for more than two years. Liberal Democrat transport spokeswoman Baroness Randerson said countries seem to have been "singled out based on religious beliefs."
"Of course safety is paramount at all times and we all need to remain vigilant but this ban needs to be explained in detail," she said.
March 22nd is an important occult date for several reasons,
March 22nd is a day of special importance because it marks the 3rd day after the Sun begins its rise out of the Southern Hemisphere on March 19th. It is symbolic of resurrection from death, which is an astrotheological theme of a great many world religions reaching back into antiquity. In Christianity for example, Jesus is said to have died on the cross, and rose from the grave after three days, described as: the risen Christ, the light of the world, the savior of the world, bringing the life of spring to places ravaged by the death of winter.
When the Sun crosses the equator on or around March 19th it is said to be rising from the grave, or out of its tomb in the Southern Hemisphere. The third day after this process begins, the resurrection is complete, marked by the 22nd of March. The number 22 also symbolizes rebirth in kabbalistic tradition.
To further underscore the three-day resurrection allegory, the 12 houses of the Zodiac can also be considered 12 great days of the calendar year. When the Sun dies on the cross, on December 21st, it spends three days in the tomb of death, three months after the Winter Solstice. The sunrise on 22nd of March is the first day after three great days of the Zodiacal calendar, symbolically depicting the time when the Christ rises from the tomb of death or the Season of Death.
March 22nd and the Season of Sacrifice
The exact day for the beginning of the Season of Sacrifice is contested amongst occult researchers. Some contend that since the Sun begins its rise on the 19th of March that this is the beginning of the season, whereas others assert that since the resurrection requires three days, then it must begin on March 22nd. Using this latter interpretation, if one adds the nine remaining days in March to the 30 days of April and adds the first day of May, a 40-day period is defined – another number of great occult significance. (Source)
March 22nd is also numerically associated with the Skull and Bones society of Yale, which uses the numbers in their symbolic imagery.
The Skull and Bones society is an infamous organization that has ties to organized crime, drug- and human-trafficking, occultism, human sacrifice, and much more. It is arguably one of the more insidious occult orders in the world but acts as a military arm of the Western Cabal. It has as its members, John Kerry, George W. Bush, and many other high-level political figures.
Within occult circles, the organization is regarded as one of the coldest and unforgiving. It is said that Hitler's SS were also associated with the group, which took the skull and bones symbol for their uniforms.

According to initial reports of the Westminster attack, the suspect is an "Asian-looking man," not the stereotypical terrorist suspect. Scotland Yard's choice to label the incident a terrorist attack doesn't appear to be based on evidence. These two points suggest that the event is being enfolded into the war on terror narrative, and is, therefore, likely a false flag attack.
Recall that false flag attacks are psychological warfare operations targeting the minds of the masses. Real or fabricated events can be used to further an agenda or maintain an illusory narrative. The world needs to believe in the "boogieman" terrorist. As such, the propaganda media need only label an event "a terrorist attack" to reinforce the agenda.
And while some false flag attacks appear to be completely fabricated, some events are very real. At this stage, it appears that there were, in fact, people injured in the attack, unlike the Sandy Hook incident, which seems to be entirely fabricated.
For now, there is no evidence whatsoever that the suspect had any terrorist leanings or associations. But if the terrorist narrative continues to be pushed by the media, likely evidence connecting the suspect to terrorist groups will surface. Whether the suspect was acting alone or was supported by an intelligence service remains to be seen.
Recall that terrorist attacks have been fabricated, en masse, by the FBI since the September 11th, 2001 WTC attacks. Given this historical precedent, it stands to reason that the Westminster event could have been partially staged insofar as the suspect was entrapped into conducting the attack.
Related Terror Plots Foiled by the FBI Turn out to Be Planned, Funded and Weaponized by the FBI Itself
This is merely the first day of a 40-day period of time that historically has seen many false flag attacks take place. The predictions made in the article published several days ago appear to be confirmed.
There is a preponderance of evidence now on hand to confirm that this window of time is in fact something the dark occultists take seriously. As a people seeking freedom and an end to tyranny, we would do well to unite and spread this information far and wide so that others are not deceived, and no more false wars are fomented.

Top 10 Reasons to Boycott Companies that Use Child Labor
A boycott is a relatively new concept. The word itself comes from a man named Captain Charles Boycott. Captain Boycott was a British landlord who was living in County Mayo in Ireland at the end of the 19th century. During a poor season in 1880, he offered the tenants on the land a small discount on their rent. But, the local Irish people wanted a heavier discount and protested. The protest did not work so Boycott attempted to remove the protesters from the land.
In an attempt to teach him a lesson, the Irish Land League and the surrounding area refused to do business with Captain Boycott. They worked to isolate him both economically and socially. There was no one to work the land and no one to work in the house. Even the postman refused to deliver his main to him.
Eventually, Captain Boycott called in some workers from outside the county. Under fear of violence, it is said that 1,000 policemen and protectors had to escort the 50 workers to the farms. No violence occurred, however, all of the extra expense meant that the year's harvest was spent immediately on making up for all of the loss.
All of a sudden, boycotting became a serious action. People loved it because it was a way of economically and socially decimating a person or company who they believed were doing wrong.
Boycotts have been successful even in the most difficult social and political situations. The boycott was a resounding success for African Americans fighting for quality during the civil rights movement. Mohandas Gandhi organized a successful boycott against British goods. Boycotts have also been used negatively and the anti-Semitic boycotts used by Nazi Germany destroyed the Jewish businesses they targeted.
As proven in Ireland, boycotts do not need to be national affairs at the beginning. A few people can create an affect that snowballs and applies serious economic and social pressure. Indeed, both activists and regular people have started to use boycotts against companies that use child labor.
Using a boycott to protest the use of Western companies continuing to use child labor highlights much more than an industry's unsavory practices. It can also draw attention to the massive inequality in wealth throughout the world. It may even draw attention to all of the other exploitative labor that happens every day.
If a long history of successful boycotts has not yet convinced you, read on to learn the top 10 reasons to boycott companies that use child labor.
Boycotting Companies Sends a Political Message
As a free citizen, you have several means at your disposal to send messages of disapproval to companies that use child labor. The boycott is a great way to demonstrate that you, and many others, are unhappy with a company's policies regarding child labor.
Every country has different labor laws, and some of these laws vary greatly. Some countries have legislation designed specifically to protect children from being exploited or over-worked. Some countries have fewer of these laws than others. Some seem to have virtually no laws at all or just disregard the laws that do exist.
Encouraging them all is the International Labor Organization. The ILO set standards that it encourages governments to follow. While it does not undermine the autonomy of each individual government, it is designed to support governments in an effort to help deal with problems with social policy.
Using a boycott sends a wider political message that resonates both nationally and internationally. It transcends one government and speaks to the world, including NGOs and organizations like the ILO.
Boycotts Do Not Require Extensive Legal Action
A boycott is a great alternative to extensive legal action. Although it may seem favorable, taking legal action against companies that use child labor is relatively fruitless. This is because the labor they use is often overseas. Labor laws in developing and third world countries are drastically different than those enacted in the United States.
There are many downsides to extensive legal action. The biggest downside is that even when it is successful it is very expensive. Years of lawyers, fees and appeals often result in little to no outcome. This is especially true when lawyers are pitted against the unending legal and political resources that large, multi-national companies have.
Another downside to extensive legal action is the press that is associated with it. While the press may release details about the company involved, the company's lawyers will often use the media to sway public opinion about their opponents. This can be emotionally and socially taxing for anyone.
Instead of depending on the courts to settle the case, a boycott sends a clear message to the company right away. A boycott can be organized as a collective and grassroots event that can be very powerful. Instead of using a court to exact fines from companies and encourage them to move away from child labor, a boycott will send a direct message to the company where it is most vulnerable – its revenue.
Boycotts Send a Message to the Government
Boycotts send a message to companies without requiring legal action, but they also send a message to the government. Using international, and especially domestic, child labor goes against Western moral values and as such, many people expect their favorite brands and companies to live up to similar standards.
Using child labor outside the United States is a legal gray area. However, if it is made clear to both local and national government that citizens are against the practice, these politicians can become powerful advocates on the behalf of the boycott. Not only can they endorse the boycott publically to help grow the movement, but they can also use their political clout to pressure companies.
Enacting legislation to regulate a company's actions overseas is not only difficult but unpopular. It will be hard to find a government official who would be willing to run that kind of legislation. However, they can start petitions that travel much further and gather more influence than a single person could on their behalf.
A boycott can make a message clear to local and national governments that people are serious about the application of fair labor standards and practices. It affirms beliefs to the government that gaps remain in fair employment law, and that they remain a priority for citizens and consumers.
Boycotting products produced by child labor helps to tell the government that Americans want to see real changes in the way businesses conduct themselves. It may inspire the government to encourage businesses to abandon this practice as well.
Boycotts Increase Awareness of Poverty
Child labor happens for a variety of reasons. Some child laborers are forced into labor. They may be kidnapped or purchased from their homes and taken to work on farms or in factories by people who make a profit off their cheap labor.
In some cases, children must go to work at an early age to support their families. There are huge numbers of families in poor and third world countries that depend on as much income as possible just to make it through another year without starving. In these places, children are excused from their childhood in order to help their parents, siblings and themselves survive.
Regardless of how it happens, poverty is often the root of child labor. While it is unfortunate that there are companies that profit from the desperation of poor families across the world, they also provide badly needed income and resources to some families.
Almost half of the world's population lives on less than $2.50 each day. Over 1.3 billion people live on less than $1.25. These numbers include one billion children. Even though it does not cost much to purchase food in third world countries, 805 million people still do not get enough to eat. Not being able to afford food to feed their families only traps people in poverty. Hunger also remains the number one cause of death in the world.
Although many of these children are paid what seems like pennies, smaller amounts of money go much further for these families than it would for families who are purchasing the products the company makes. In some cases, working in factories for large companies keeps these children out of the clutches of those who could easily take them as indentured servants or include them in the modern slave trade.
A boycott can be about more than just exposing a company's labor practices. It is a great opportunity to discuss what is at the root of the entire problem: global poverty that persists in the 21st century. Knowing that it would cost around $60 billion each year to put an end to this poverty does not help. Boycotts can encourage companies to contribute more of their profits towards ending global poverty.
Boycotts Increase Awareness of Companies that Violate Trade Standards
Child labor strikes a chord with many people because they hate the idea of their own children being forced to go to work in factories at young ages. In America and in Europe, people value the idea of childhood. Many people work to protect childhood for children for as long as possible.
But child labor is a great way to increase awareness of the other laws and trade standards that many companies violate. These issues may not feel urgent because adults are expected to work. Many people would rather gloss over the fact that their products remain cheap because other people are willing to work horrible hours in poor conditions for little pay.
There are also companies that refuse to sign generally accepted trade agreements that say that they will not participate in ethically questionable practices. Apple have been long criticized for their treatment of their employees in Chinese factories, for instance. However, they remain one of the only technology companies to refuse to sign a trade agreement stating that none of their materials or products come from mines that use slave labor.
Gap, Inc. has also come under fire for the devastating conditions its workers experience oversees. After the collapse of one its shared factories, it violated labor agreements and refused to compensate the victims' families. Not compensating victims' families goes beyond not wanting to take responsibility for its poor building conditions. These conditions caused the death of a breadwinner. Without the extra income, many families will have come much closer to starving.
The use of child labor stems from taking advantage of the poverty of children and their families. The area of child labor is murky because banning child labor is impossible and rarely leads to suitable alternatives. However, the use of slave labor in the 21st century, or in any century, should not be condoned from any company at any time. Not only is slave labor morally and ethically bankrupt but it is against international law.
Boycotting Companies That Use Child Labor Shines Light on Other Issues in Employment
For many Westerners, child labor is the most abhorrent form of labor. It is estimated that 215 million children currently work in illegal or hazardous conditions around the world. But, child labor is a symptom of a greater issue that affects all ages, not just children.
The number of people worldwide that work in conditions that are exploitative is very high. There are still many cases of indentured servitude, slavery and human trafficking that take place on every continent. The most vulnerable people in the world are at risk of working in these conditions no matter what country they live in.
Indentured servitude and modern day slavery are systems that continue to destroy lives across the world. In some cases, labor laws only unwittingly help those who are in control of their employees continue to abuse them. One woman who tried to leave a harsh situation in Qatar was not permitted to leave her abusive employer because he would not give her permission.
Under national law, employees must have the permission of an employer to quit their jobs. Since foreign workers make up 94% of laborers in the country, it is certain that this is not an anomaly by any means.
From Indonesia to Pakistan to the United States to the United Kingdom, both individuals and companies take advantage of poor people for their own financial gain. Many people who do not experience the horrors of slavery directly believe it is something that was left in the colonialization of the past.
Unfortunately for millions of workers, modern slavery is a real issue. Boycotting companies that use practices like child labor can open the door for the acknowledgment and discussion about the abuse that happens in homes and businesses around the world.
People Become More Globally Aware of Economic Issues
In America, many politicians like to make economics a political issue. What few people acknowledge or realize is that the way businesses conduct themselves reflects more than just the kind of market economy that the country has. Economic issues are humanitarian issues both at home and abroad.
Since the use of child labor is the result of poverty being exploited by companies and individuals, this touchy subject can be used to enable a conversation about the true role of economics.
Economics is at the heart of many threats to society. From global warming to global conflict, the desire to keep profits flowing can be found in many areas. Global companies can shape the global economy. Companies like Coca-Cola have huge impacts on both national and world economies. This is the reason that the CEO of Coca-Cola has a standing meeting every month with the United States president.
Coca-Cola revenues makeup 40% of the GDP of Swaziland. The company's global revenue positions it as the 84th largest economy in the world.
By boycotting global companies and increasing the awareness about how much sway some companies truly have over not over the economy, but the world, people may be able to demand that these companies make a positive difference in the world as a whole by adjusting the way they do business.
Boycotting Child Labor Enables Conversation about What Childhood Is
In much of the Western world, people believe that a childhood should be spent playing, learning and growing. But, these beliefs are specific to a specific place, time and culture. Not all groups of people believe that children should avoid work.
Both in America and in other cultures from around the world, there are groups of people that believe that work is good for children. Of course, work that is dangerous to a child's health is never a good thing. However, rural and agricultural communities all over the world both encourage and require young children and teenagers to help doing labor on the farm. In some cases, families need the help of their children to keep small farms running.
This is not just true on small farms in Latin America, Africa or Asia. Children in rural America are expected to perform work around the house and on farms. This is both to enable the smooth running of the farm but also because of a societal expectation that children learn the value of hard work at a young age. Many cultures believe that this helps instill values that include fulfilling the duty of supporting their families and prepares children for a life of work both at home and in the world.
A boycott opens up a dialogue about how many different people have a different opinion about what a childhood should be. This fosters more understanding and allows people to get back to the issues that matter most.
Collective Action Paves the Way for Education
One of the biggest reasons that so many companies, governments and individuals use child labor and other negative practices is because they know that they can get away with it. They realize that the majority of their customer base will not worry about what they cannot see.
If companies had to disclose their actions, they would be less likely to commit such egregious labor violations.
However, what these companies do is both geographically and socially far away from what their target customer base experiences. It is hard for many people to believe that Gap would send small children to sew your khakis for only a few cents a day. Most people either do not want to believe it or have no idea that companies still do these things.
Collective action paves the way for greater education not only about a certain company's practices but about the conditions and laws that allow them do this.
A Boycott Can Lead to Action that Truly Helps Poor Children
In the real world, the results of a boycott rarely lead to happy lives for the children working in factories. Either the company does not respond to the boycott or they are forced to rescind their current policies and remove all of the child workers from their factories.
Essentially, either nothing changes for these children or things get worse. A boycott is only a small part of the solution for ending child labor in the production of Western products. If those who boycott companies really want to help the children working in factories abroad, they must demand more than just an end to using child labor.
Those who are interested in boycotting companies who use child labor could demand more child friendly policies from the companies. They may demand that the children are paid a living wage for the company. They could also demand that the conditions are fair and conducive to a healthy lifestyle. They might even demand a certain level of education to be provided for the workers.
Child labor is not going away. The fact that Western ideals disagree with the practice will not stop it from happening. As long as poverty and hunger is rife in so much of the world, there will be a huge supply of child workers.
However, boycotts can encourage companies to help battle poverty and child labor instead of enabling it. With thoughtful collective action, a boycott can help change the shape of global economics as we know it.

Using Articles To Bring More Traffic To Your Website
Many of you will beg off initially with the "I can't write" or "I don't know how to write" to say no. And all that is nothing more than just excuses.
When I first started submitting articles I did it because I was 'desperate' to get something going. My site was running and nobody - as in NOBODY - was looking at it! There weren't even surfers getting lost and coming to it.
Presently, I can truthfully say that I have much more traffic, perhaps not many thousands as some would have you believe, but a lot (meaning in the hundreds daily) dropping in. I am at last seeing an 'uptick' in all this marketing that I have been trying so hard to do.
What you see below are the things, in order, that you need to do to post an article. Just Follow them and within TWO DAYS, NO LONGER THAN THREE, you will begin observing results in traffic. Now even you have to admit, that's pretty darn fast, right? You will find that you're getting on Google's front or second page, and I am not kidding you! You can get months, maybe even years, out of one article!
.One great benefit about article writing is that it does not go away in a short period of time. These articles get passed all over the place and stored in archives in the forums and get read again and again.
The greatest thing about them - THEY ARE 100% FREE! Of course, you have your effort and time, but aren't you already doing that trying to create that traffic?
- 1. Think of a 'niche' you want to be in. (A 'niche' in case you don't know is a 'specialty' that you either want to promote or sell, and you know something about it.) If you are already in one - GREAT!
- Now, write about it. The article can be a 'How to', 'Why people do it', or how you have done it. It should be at least 400 words in length (some forums may require shorter or longer) and you must spell-check it and use proper grammar.
- You must use a 'spinner' so you can submit 'multiple' articles that will be appear 'different'. A 'spinner' is a way to re-write the article so the search engines (Google is only one of many search engines) bots cannot see that it is the same article. If you submit the same article to them all, the 'bots' will see it as one article submitted and you will get no points for that!
- Having written and spun the article, it is ready for submission to the directories. If you are just beginning, as you most likely will be doing, this is the hardest part. You have to go find them, register with them, and prepare them for your submissions. This is time intensive. BUT, you only have to do it once!
- Once you have written, spell-checked, and spun the article, you begin the submission process. It's not only easier every time I do it now, it's also faster.
- Now is the GOOD PART - YOU CAN ACTUALLY WATCH THE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE INCREASE! Believe me, it will happen. In my personal observation, my traffic has really changed and yours will as well - I PROMISE!

Former Riverside, California Man Sentenced to 23 Years in Federal Prison for Running Investment Scheme That Involved More Than 200 Victims and More Than $14 Million
Defendant Squandered Investor Funds on Luxury Cars, Jewelry, Travel, and Entertainment
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 10, 2012
DALLAS—Bradley C. Stark, 37, formerly of Riverside, California, was sentenced late yesterday by U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn to 23 years in federal prison and ordered to pay approximately $13 million in restitution, following his conviction at trial in January 2012 on all counts of an indictment charging seven counts of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud related to his fraudulent securities offerings. Today's announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas.
Stark incorporated Sardaukar Holdings as an international business corporation in the British Virgin Islands to engage in the business of investing and managing clients' financial assets. From October 2004 thorough early July 2005, Stark operated Sardaukar from his residence in Riverside.
Stark used materially false and fraudulent representations to solicit individuals to invest in Sardaukar. For example, he represented to investors, and encouraged and allowed others to represent to investors, that: 1) he had previous institutional trading experience; 2) that he was a registered securities broker or dealer; 3) he had hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from private and institutional clients; 4) he would invest their funds in sophisticated financial transactions, including tri-party repurchase agreements, commodities futures and currency trading; 5) historically, investments in Sardaukar had yielded high rates of return, often more than 20 to 30 percent per month; and 6) for $50,000 investors could purchase an insurance contract through him that would insure invested principal against any loss.
Stark also knowingly and intentionally failed to advise investors that he had been convicted in April 2003 of a federal felony offense, uttering a false and counterfeit security, and in May 2003 in the state of Colorado, of fraud by check.
The government presented evidence at trial that Stark squandered the majority of investor funds on luxury cars, travel/entertainment, and jewelry. He also transferred more than $1 million to his wife.
Based on Stark's representations, individuals entered into agreements to provide funds to him for investment. One individual raised funds from investors in the Northern District of Texas and elsewhere, which was sent to Stark for investment. The largest investor in Sardaukar Holdings was a company in the Dallas area, Megafund Corporation, which was run by Stanley Leitner. Leitner, who testified for the government at trial, was previously convicted in the Northern District of Texas of wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering in connection with his operation of Megafund. Leitner is currently serving a 210-month federal prison sentence.
Securities fraud is a major focus of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF), which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets; and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants. For more information on the task force, visit www.stopfraud.gov.
The investigation was led by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation and the FBI with assistance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Santa Barbara, California, Sheriff's Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Yanowitch and Christopher Stokes prosecuted.

- Meticulously Engineered.
- Manufactured to Highest Quality Standards.
- Provided By a Trusted Brand Synonymous with High-Quality Performance, Value and Dependability.
COMP Cams Gator Clamps .500"-.875"
COMP Cams G3912 Details
Gator Brand Clamps are made using a stainless steel continuous band with extruded, asymmetrical threads for reliable performance. The edges of the band are rolled to prevent any sharp edges from damaging the hose. This is especially important on silicone hoses that have a soft, vulnerable cover.
An asymmetrical (offset) gear box is employed to reduce clamp twist when tightening. The gear box housing is designed to remain stationary as the clamp tightened to prevent movement over those hose. The combination of the asymmetrical gear box and the extruded threads provides an even clamping force over the surface of the hose that ensures proper sealing with minimal torque. Gator Brand Clamps hold up under 3.7ft./lbs. (5mm) torque; conventional clamps strip and fail at this torque.
Gator Brand Clamps can be installed using a flat blade screwdriver, metric socket wrench, or with the Gator Brand Flexible Clamp Tool for maximum torque potential.

After searching for answers in the forums I could not come up with anything, so I believe I will ask the proffesionals.
I have just moved my shop into a single bay of our barn, 13.5'x25'. It is built on a slab and I have the walls insulated and I will have the roof insulated in the near future. I used R13 bat fiberglass insulation without a vapor barrier other than 1/2" plywood on the walls.
I have a few questions:
I plan on using the attic space for storage, so I am going to insulate between the rafters right up against the roof decking. The soffit is closed off with vinyl vent soffit so at the moment it is breathing freely. How should I insulate down around this area? Should I seal it off comepletely not letting any airflow in or out?
I hope to have the entire space insulated. It does have a metal garage door that I plan on putting some 3/4" foam board in as much as I can to give it some insulation although I doubt it will be very efficient. What should I do about moisture in the shop throughout the seasons? It may not be relevant however because I probably will do alot of work with the garage door open.
How should I prepare myself to deal with moving projects from my shop to inside the climate controlled house?
I live in southeast Alabama so we have hot and humid summers…... very hot, very humid…..

Anyways, here's what I got in my Glossybox for March:
1. KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Cream: A bestseller for Khiel's but I'm guessing this is going to be to rich for me. Maybe more suitable for dryer skin.2. L'OCCITANE Almond Shower Oil: A very "warm" shower oil. Don't know how much use I'll be getting out of this one atm. Probably more if I'm going somewhere.3. CRABTREE & EVELYN Antibacterial Moisturizing Hand Gel (full-size): Here in Sweden it's pretty hard to get a hold of a nice smelling Antibacterial hand gel. Most have no scent to them and they smell of alcohol. This has a scent of Lavender and Salmiak and other goodness. Smells a bit like After Shave actually. But still this is nicer than the smell of alcohol. And you always need antibacterial hand gel in your purse!4. BURT'S BEES Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme: This smells amazing. I'm gonna keep it on my night stand and use it every night. I'll get back to you with a review when I feel I've tried it eneough =)5. MÁDARA ECOCOSMETICS Moisturizing Lotion: Nothing special was my first impression of it. Smells of freshly cut grass actually. Very Strange.The little bag with pink lable is candy =)
