PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH?Posted on October 21st, 2012 21 comments
Gil Smart Eric Dommel"…And it means a return to robust coverage of Pennsylvania Dutch life and culture, which remains the heart of Lancaster County culture and values."From today's Sunday News article, "LNP names top editors for print and online," (click here).This is one of their major problems! There is no such thing! This is absurd! "Culture and values" specific to the county and the Pennsylvania Dutch? Can someone tell me what they are? What an incredibly offensive statement! Have you checked the racial and ethnic makeup of Lancaster County lately?
And this excellent comment in under this morning's post:LNP has merely reshuffled a worn out deck of cards, whose edges are frayed, the faces are the same, the philosophy is the same.Boring, boring, boring!!!!!!!!!!!Does anybody really care????????????Exactly! The major name missing in all of this is Gil Smart! What is his position now? Does he have one? There will be much more on all of this tomorrow.I received two comments that have not been posted – one very long one – from someone claiming to be Eric Dommel under the story on this site, "WHEN 'SISTERS' TURN?" (click here).The second one was this:I respect what you're doing. I have 7 sisters and I would never want something to happen like this to them. But my voice should be heard to. From this experience I made a promise to the world to try to help the war on drugs and human trafficing. That's the real evil in all this and most of all other cases like this thanks for your time.I've never run into this situation before, but a few notes:—- I noted at the end of the article that according to his docket, Dommel was still in Lancaster County Prison. That changed, according to a new docket entry, and he made his $20,000 cash bail on October 16th on two felony counts and seven misdemeanor counts.—- I hope that Amanda has taken very serious precautions to protect herself from you. You wrote a very interesting piece putting all the blame on her and none on yourself – which is absurd and scary.—- I cannot verify it's actually Dommel writing and I'm trying to figure out how to do that.—- I wonder what his attorney would think of this.I am going to ponder this and we'll see what happens. For now, your comment is not being posted. You also fail to mention your long history of assault and harassment charges! And nothing gives you the "right" to put your hands on her. Nothing! Period!

The problem is the difference between the county and the city. Lancaster city I believe is 31% hispanic. The county? Only when they have illegal immigrants picking tobacco/crops.
And I'll bet more county folk read the newspaper than city folk.
I'll check the city and county stats tomorrow. Question – how many of those county folk do you think would identify themselves as "Pennsylvania Dutch?" Even if they did, do you think they could identify the "culture" and "values" that supposedly come with it?
County stats: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/42/42071.html
City stats:
Whites: 479088
blacks: 23038
hispanic: 46599
whites: 33152
blacks: 9789
hispanics: 23602
At least 70,000 aren't PA Dutch. According to this website: http://www.padutchcountry.com/travel-tools/faq/frequently-asked-questions.asp there are 30,000 Amish in Lancaster County. I haven't found any source that details how many "PA Dutch" live in Lancaster County, but if I had to guess it's significantly less than all other ethnic persons. We can draw this conclusion by tripling the number of Amish (Mennonites, Amish, and all other Dutch), which brings us to roughly 180,000.
Conclusion – PA Dutch are the minority.
When I was young, perish the thought, there existed what would be called a Pennsylvania Dutch accent among more than the plain people. That accent seems to have been replaced with a sort of a Philly accent and you rarely hear non-plain people speaking with a 'dutchy' accent.
As the accent phases itself out, so does any cultural connection to it.
Speaking of Pennsylvania Dutch and cultural context, isn't it strange that the paper hasn't covered, to my knowledge, anything about the TV show Breaking Amish. I wonder if it is because one of the characters on the show is named Sabrina High. Hmmmm, could she be one of "those" Highs? BTW, she is adopted into the family High. Just don't know if she's part of "that" High family.
The show is subpar BUT there are many plain people – actually ex-plain people – who hail from Pennsylvania. Doesn't look like they are doing the "culture" any favors.

Pennsylvania Dutch culture, as I remember it: 1. We ate lots of starchy food. 2. Use funny words like 'struvel' instead of 'comb.' 3. Shop on Fridays at the Green Dragon before all the discount stands took over. 4. Mennonite kids at Lincoln School had delicious lunch box meals while the rest of us ate surplus food lunches at the cafeteria. 5. Eat stuff like scrapple and shoo-fly pie once a month just to remind myself how much I hated it as a kid. 6. Finding out in High school German classes what all those words Grandpa used when he was mad really meant. 7. No place on earth makes pretzels like they do here. 8. The outside world thought we were nuts when we talked about eating pig stomach. Ah, yes, this is a culture worth defending [irony alert].

I have seen statistics that estimate the number of members of different faith groups in Lancaster County. I believe the Anabaptist are estimated to account for about 8% of the total population. The question then is, though, does this count the children of members as the kids, obviously, aren't yet members of the church.

The main Pennsylvania Dutch value I am aware of is the requirement that sugar be added to everything they cook, even vegetables. Yuck.
LOL anonymous2! 😛 😛

I'm very glad you seen I wrote you. I knew that the long peice I wrote was kinda one sided. But, I'm gonna be apart of this the whole way. You have all the time to ask me anything you desire. It will take more than a page out of the computer to to tell my life story. I'm not black or white I'm gray. You are talking to the real Eric Dommel.
Thank you Eric
Kinda one sided???? Eric, give me a day or so to think about this…
His would only be one sided seeing that the police report was only one sided!
Also how do I read the first comment he posted?
NinD – I did not post his first comment.
And I believe that this article that you wrote was only one sided. You failed to post the comment from Shannon Hartley on why his reasoning was the way it was and as I know both Eric and Amanda, as does Shannon. And like Shannon said it did not give him the right to put his hands on her but if you REALLY knew every truth behind the story you might see Eric in a completely different way.
NinD – did you read my first article on this? I'm not taking sides! Well, if anything, I am certainly on her side! What he did to her is beyond awful.
I've read every article there was on him. He is my brother and she's been one of my best friends since we were in middle school. And I won't disagree with what he did was wrong and that was physical. But what she did to him was emotional. And the degree of emotional hurt cuts deeper than any physical pain. You don't mess around with ones kids. The children really ARE the victims. And if You think that Amanda is a victim it would only be fair to say that Eric is also.
eric dommel October 22nd, 2012 at 14:27
I don't want this to be a debate Nin cause this is far from a debate. What happened is wrong way wrong. The problem behind our community is the amount of drugs that flood our streets. My punishment for what my kids had and is going through at this very moment is chinese torture to me. This is about them and being a hand to my community. Our community is suffering NIND that's the real story. This is the ripple effect from what is the truth. Sis if you want to help me defending my dignity is not what I'm looking for. I need help triing to clean up what is destroying everyones lives.
Oh I'm not debating nor and I defending anyone or anything. I am not on your side as i am not on hers. I'm just simply stating what is true. If a story is to be told it needs to be the truth and not simply base off a police report which was obviously reported by one person. You did do a bad thing and made a very poor choice but before people judge they should know the truth. Simply that.
hereshecomes October 23rd, 2012 at 07:01
First, PA Dutch traditionally encompassed those of a German background, like Lutherans and Catholics…your Cabbage Hill dwellers…not merely Anabaptists. Obviously, most of those families are well into their third generations and have lost the "Dutch".
And huh? Sabrina High is definitely not part of "those" Highs. None of them are Plain anymore, and most aren't even Mennonite.
eric dommel October 25th, 2012 at 14:40
Did you have a chance to sit down and think about this situation. Just wondering if you had any questions you have my full cooperation all the way. And also I'm very sorry for my sisters disrespectful attitude. She don't understand how serious this story is, people are suffering all over the world.


text: Terwillegar Drive, one of Edmonton's busiest roads, is in need of upgrades to make it a freeway. The road is consistently clogged with commuter traffic. There have been many attempts over the past two decades to develop solutions to the growing traffic problem, but nothing beyond reports has materialized. The federal government recently pledged almost $40 million to expand the industrial 50 Street, which does not see as much traffic as Terwillegar Drive. Southwest Edmonton is one of the fastest growing areas of the city, completely lacks LRT, and needs better infrastructure for its residents.

Totnes in Devon, UK is one of my favourite places to visit for a day out. Ever since my family relocated to Devon 5 or so years ago I have always enjoyed paying the picturesque town a visit. When driving into Totnes someone has drawn over the sign so it now reads 'Welcome to Narnia' and this could not be a better way to describe the feel of Totnes. The market days are on Friday and Saturday and I highly recommend visiting on these days if you're in the area as there are so many things to be found whilst browsing the markets. The overall vibe to the town is quite bohemian, I would describe it as a kind of tiny Byron Bay with its organic and vegetarian cafes, holistic remedies and crystal shops.
Totnes really is an instagram, pinterest and tumblr dream, with lovely old buildings everywhere and fresh flowers and vintage pieces galore! With shops stuffed full with vintage homewares and clothes it really is the thrift shoppers paradise. I love to stock up on cute Cath Kidston mugs whilst I'm there, and the cheese shop is my favourite guilty pleasure to pick up yummy local produce.
Now for the markets, I really cannot stress enough how much fun browsing the markets is, so if you can visit them its definitely worth it, you can pick up a lot of vintage clothing and homewares as well as local produce, tools, beautiful jewellery and even bongo drums! Everyone's really friendly and you really get a sense of the artistic bohemian community that lives in Totnes.
Even Robbie enjoyed perusing the bizarre collection of things people bring to sell and lots of antique tools and furniture too which always interests him!
Ideally it's great to spend the whole day in Totnes as there are plenty of shops to keep you occupied and an abundance of cute cafes to grab lunch. There's also lots of vintage tea room's if you fancy a good old English afternoon tea in some flowery vintage tea cups. My favourite place for lunch has to be Woods. It always has such a wide variety of menu options with something to suit everyone and everything tastes really fresh.
The first shop of two shops that you cannot miss whilst visiting Totnes is one that I've loved for years, Revival. If you have a passion for vintage clothing or antiques in general this shop is really a must. The shop itself is a tiny old building with very low ceilings and it is literally packed full of clothes so its quite claustrophobic but it's worth it because it's rare to see such well curated old pieces in one place. You can pick up 1920s wedding dresses, a wide range of military wear, an abundance of costume jewellery as well as hats and coats and much more! It's a real treat, many of the pieces look so fragile I would be scared to wear them but it really is a collectors dream.
The second is a shop which I visited for the first time on my most recent trip to Totnes and that's Narnia, The Time Travellers Shop. Aside from the awesome array of vintage record players available which not only look beautiful but sound so good, they also stock mid-twentieth century furniture and furnishing as well as other trinkets. This shop has a beautiful feel to it and a really well selected array of goods available, I would highly recommend a visit.
Other places I love are the cheese shop I mentioned before, Cranch's old fashioned sweet shop, all the silver jewellery/crystal shops, the Dutch Quality flower shop and all the vintage tea rooms.

iGot an iPrize
October 16th, 2008 by admin under Uncategorized. No Comments.
My MBA education has produced some fruits: an orange iPod nano 8GB. It's certainly not a huge prize, nor does it even begin to make up for the salary I've given up to be at school. But it comes with an interesting story of marketing, packaging, and pure luck.
Yesterday was the final round of a marketing case competition, run by the Graduate Marketing Association and sponsored by Acuity Mobile. We were given a powerpoint template and a case to complete–develop a market entry strategy for Acuity Mobile's new product, Aislecaster. I won't get into what the product is, particularly because I'm not sure they want it posted on my blog. We started the project on the 2nd week of school, when we didn't know….anything! Our team came together somewhat haphazardly, since we didn't know much about each other, and even less about mobile communications.
It turned out we worked pretty well together. We challenged each other, and we spent a LONG time making sure the presentation was well structured to present a clear message. Once the initial presentation was turned in, we all felt DONE with the project. When we got an email saying we had moved on to the next round, we were somewhat annoyed (since we were in the middle of midterms, busy school schedule, etc.) So we didn't do any additional work on the project, but instead just met to practice our presentation delivery skills. Once again, the feedback was honest (and direct), but we really improved.
At the competition yesterday, we were very worried. All of the other teams had some technical knowledge about mobile phones or some background in the technology & marketing arena. We had neither. But in the end, our team was picked by the heads of Acuity Mobile as the winner (out of 10 teams), and we were frankly quite surprised. Our market entry plan was simple, and we hadn't explored the technical elements of it in great detail. In fact, we didn't even know WHO the company should call to get the plan rolling. But the idea was unique among the other competitors, we present a strong (but brief) justification, and the presentation was "pretty". The takeaway message: it's all about getting a good idea and selling it well. All the research and technical knowledge in the world cannot make you an innovator.

Potential Effects of Transgenic Rice on Farm Households Nutritional Status in Bangladesh
Potential Effects of Transgenic Rice on Farm Households Nutritional Status in Bangladesh - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
The spread of agricultural biotechnology in developing countries has grown rapidly in recent years. Several transgenic products are under development with potential to address a variety of adverse production conditions. These products have raised hope that yield and quality improvements in rice will accelerate and help in the battle against under-nutrition, especially in areas of prevalent under-nutrition in Asia.A farm household model is developed and estimated to project ex ante effects of introducing transgenic rice on farm households¡¯ nutritional status in Bangladesh. Assuming the yield effects of transgenic rice are similar to that of previous high yield varieties, the model estimates the profit effect of introducing transgenic rice. The profit effect is then translated into effects on farmers¡¯ consumption decisions. The results indicate that the total profit elasticity with respect to the percentage of rice area in high yield variety is 0.08. The calorie elasticity with respect to the percentage of rice area in HYV ranges from 0.062 in non-poor to 0.074 in poor households, and the protein elasticity ranges from 0.075 in non-poor to 0.084 in poor. Therefore, the results indicate that transgenic rice is likely to play a significant role in improving farm households¡¯ nutritional status in terms of total calorie/protein intake.

Cong, SAD, PPP find common cause to lash out at Modi govt
For once, the various political parties in Punjab have found a common cause to lambast the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for dragging its feet on implementing the Swaminathan Committee report for fixing the minimum support price for various crops.chandigarh Updated: Feb 21, 2015 21:31 IST
For once, the various political parties in Punjab have found a common cause to lambast the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for dragging its feet on implementing the Swaminathan Committee report for fixing the minimum support price for various crops.
Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal for ditching the farmers on the issue of implementation of the committee report.
Bajwa referred to the affidavit submitted by the Modi government in the Supreme Court pleading that it would not be possible to enhance the minimum support price by ensuring at least 50% profit to the farmers over and above the cost of production.
Bajwa said the Centre had hit the very foundation of farm economy by taking the stand that the MSP was not an income policy.
"All along in the election campaign, you have been misleading the farmers into believing that once the BJP came into power, the MSP would be fixed on the recommendations of the Swaminathan Committee report. People have the right to ask whether the Modi government consulted union minister for food processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal on the vital policy issue which concerns farmers not only in Punjab but in the entire country," Bajwa said.
SAD MP Prem Singh Chandumajra held a press conference to say that the party would vigorously take up with the Centre the implementation of the committee recommendations. Chandumajra, who is also the SAD general secretary, said implementing the report was the promise made by the BJP in its 2014 manifesto for the Lok Sabha election.
Chandumajra said the Akali Dal would mobilise all party support on this issue and the first step in this direction would be the setting up of All Party Farmers' Forum of Parliamentarians.
People's Party of Punjab chief Manpreet Singh Badal said Badal had the image of the champion of the farmers and the messiah now must make a forceful intervention with the government at the Centre in which the SAD was the partner.
He urged the chief minister to make "at least one positive contribution" to the economy by convincing his own government of the need to consider the plight of the farmers and get the committee recommendations implemented.
He said the promises made by the political parties should not be just to sell dreams to the people to get votes but they should also be implemented.

warming up...
We are well into spring and about a month and a half from the official start of summer. As a result we are seeing signs of the warmer weather all over the metro area. The above picture was sent in by Benny Coon from Snellville. The picture is of baby cardinals in a rose bush at his house.
If the picture looks a little familiar, Benny actually sent in a similar picture 2 years ago. I guess Benny's yard is quite the hot spot for cardinal mating! :-)
Enjoy the nice & warm weather. You know the hot days of summer are just around the corner!

Raspberry Coconut CupcakesOn Sugar Mountain
Hello friends!
The lovely month of May is upon us, and with it plenty of sunshine, flowers, and a very important holiday in my book.
- The lovely month of May is upon us, and with it plenty of sunshine, flowers, and a very important holiday in my book.
- My mom rocks my socks, and she absolutely deserves her own holiday, and I bet yours does too!
- Growing up, my mom was always cold. We used to joke that if she could move to an island right on the equator, she would, because she loves sunshine, high temperatures, and sandy beaches. Her love for bright, cheery and warm days inspired me to make these Raspberry Coconut Cupcakes!
- These cupcakes are incredibly easy to make, and would be a lovely Mother's Day gift (who wouldn't want to be greeted with a batch of these beautiful treats?!). They'd also be a smash hit for a Cinco de Mayo party or at your Memorial Day BBQ.
- The combination of sweet coconut and tart raspberry will transport you to sunny, tropical shores, and whoever you share these cupcakes with will be so impressed with your awesome baking skills! They don't need to know how simple they were to make. We'll keep that our little secret.
- The superstar ingredients in this recipe are JELL-O, PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, and BAKERS Shredded Coconut. That vibrant, rich pink colored frosting is a twist on a classic cream cheese icing, bursting with fresh raspberry flavor from Raspberry JELL-O Mix.
- Topping the cupcakes off with a bit of BAKERS Shredded Coconut seals the deal on both beauty and flavor. Make these cupcakes and I promise you'll be asked to make them again and again all summer long!
- Hop on over to Kraft's website HERE to get the full recipe for these Raspberry Coconut Cupcakes!
- Happy Baking!

On the Ground in Colombia
By the time you read this, I'll be on an airplane traveling back to the United States. But right now the wind is howling around my hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, as the night sea breeze assaults this ancient city of pirates, castles and the Spanish Inquisition.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Last week we landed in Barranquilla, about 80 miles from here, where we spent several days before moving on to Cartagena over the weekend. Despite the possibility of rain (which never materialized) in the forecast, the weather was beautiful as we ventured out into the impoverished communities interwoven around and throughout these bustling cities that represent a fascinating mix of colonial grace and industrial progress.
My role in this trip is translator, and I'm one of three Children International employees (the other two being Gretchen and Brian) from the home office in Kansas City who are here to accompany a film crew from Toronto, Canada, as they visit our sponsored families and our facilities in Colombia. Kim, Michel, Alain and Mark are pros who have traveled the globe doing this kind of work, and traveling with them is a blast. (Don't be fooled by the names -- Kim, Michel and I are all guys!) We're also accompanied by Lisa, a great sponsor from Seattle.
We've seen some pretty gut-wrenching stuff...families so poor they live in shacks made of nothing but tarps and sticks; a family who was displaced from their home in the middle of the night by paramilitary forces and had to flee -- some of the children naked, the mother hobbling along on a recently snakebitten leg, and the father clutching a towel to his abdomen to sop up the blood that rushed from the bullet wound inflicted by the paramilitaries; a single mom who struggles to raise her two-year-old daughter who suffers from sickle cell anemia; a mom who walks 14 kilometers each day selling coffee for a living while her three young children stay alone in her tiny wooden shack in the backwaters of a filthy swamp, where the worst kinds of criminals roam and men and women settle their disputes with guns, knives and machetes; and a dying mother whose head is grossly disfigured by a massive cancerous tumor, and whose leg holds a festering wound where a rat crept into her house and attacked her a few days ago.
But we've also seen hope, reflected in the face of confident graduates of Children International's sponsorship program and in the smiling faces of happy schoolchildren for whom sponsorship has provided the uniforms and school supplies they need in order to attend school. And this same hope shines from the eyes of moms and dads who see in sponsorship the opportunity for the children to have a better life and a better future.
I had the chance to visit today with 8-year-old Belkis and her mother, Ada Maria. I first met Belkis four years ago, when a team of CI employees visited her in the hospital as she awaited surgery for a broken leg, the result of a cyst that weakened the bone. Children International was able to help provide the surgery she needed, and today she runs, jumps and plays like any other child.
Belkis' mom has hopes that her daughter will someday fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor. In Ada's words, "Education is the bridge between today's reality and my daughter's future."
Like most moms, I think Ada Maria is right. And it's very satisfying to know that we'll be able to help build that bridge.
P.S. I'll try to share some pictures with you when I get back.

Support Our Troops indeed. This administration sees the troops as pawns to be used and exalted when it serves their purpose and tossed aside when that suits their purposes. It's quite disgusting. It could even be called unpatriotic.
Oh, I see. They need that money for Iraq. And reconstruction.
Sickening. Bush takes money out of the hands of war heroes to dump it in the laps of his m/billionaire friends.
The cynic in me is on overload.
You...have got...to be kidding me.......
Q: how does a band fire its bass player?
A: it doesn't. it "breaks up" and reforms without him.
problem is, the bass player sees right through that BS.
Three sad semesters/
It was only fifteen grand/
spent in bed - I thought about the Army/
I dropped out and joined a band instead/
Grew a moustache and a mullet/
Got a job at Chik-fil-A - citing/

And in June reformed without me/
And they got a different name/
I nuked another Grandma's Apple Pie and hung my head in shame, oh...

text: Wow I have been so pumped to get the new prime when it releases for vzw. Last night I picked up a galaxy tab 10.1 off a guy for a good deal. I get to reading about it and spot a n article about bluetooth tethering with a droid x, my currrent phone since I returned my bionic. It evidently works with the X and almost no other phones. No message from vzw about hotspot charges, it just kicks butt. Root not required and just features built into the devices. I had missed being able to tether and don't use it near often enough to justify the cost. Now here it is free with bluetooth with the galaxy tab and the dx. Now I'm not 100% sure I want to give that up for 4G speed on another phone if the bluetooth tether doesn't work. Anybody else doing this?

This post is the third in a series. See here and here for previous posts. In this post I would like to begin examining arguments traditionalists could make to explain Job's silence about his children. In each case, one of the intended outcomes of the argument will be that the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy can be maintained consistently. I will argue that they all fail.
You noticed, of course, that I said traditionalists could make these arguments. I am resorting to some hypothesizing because of the situation I mentioned in my last post: hardly anyone appears to have noticed the problem. I checked with a family member who happens to hold a Ph.D.in Old Testament Studies about what explanations are out there for Job's silence about his children, and the family member admitted she wasn't aware of many attempts to explain it. She did offer a few explanations, some of which were (I think) off the top of her head.
The first three explanations are
based on a reasonable supposition about the relationship between the
poetic section of the Book and any possible historical antecedent to
it. If there really was an historical figure named Job who experienced
the tragedies described in the introduction, the poetic section of the
book is meant to be an artistic representation of whatever real
conversations took place between Job and his friends. It is hardly
likely they actually spoke word-for-word in poetic form, using a large
number of words that appear rarely in the rest of the Hebrew Bible. The
writer distilled the historical events and reworked them to hang
together and support the theme of the book. Much could have been
reworded, reorganized or just left out.
Explanation 1
Book of Job is meant to appeal to a general readership. Therefore, the
book purposely avoids dwelling on the specific circumstances of Job's
suffering in order to appeal to a broader audience. This explanation appears to be plausible early in the book. As one commentator in the Semeia monograph points out, Job's early speeches describe his sufferings in general and metaphoric terms, allowing any number of disasters to match the description of his distress. The commentator supposes what many others have thought: Job is cast as Everyman. Detailed references to Job's children would ruin this rhetorical move.
But this explanation runs aground when we reach chapters 29-31. There, Job repeatedly and at length locates himself decisively in the upper class of an ancient Near Eastern community. He distances himself from the rest of his culture by his insistence that lower class people were in awe of his wisdom and status, and much of his distress is caused by his loss of status and respect in this community. This speech destroys the image of Job as Everyman far better than mention of his many children. The number of ancient Near Eastern families with large numbers of children was certainly greater than the number of ancient Near Eastern families as wealthy and of high a social status as Job's.
In fact, whatever the ancient author(s) intentions, Job is clearly not Everyman.
1. He is highly pious. God singles him out to the "Satan" for this distinguishing characteristic.
2. He is fabulously wealthy, in ancient Near Eastern terms.
3. He is a member of the ruling class.
Job's lament over his treatment at the hands of those formerly of lower class hints at one likely reaction of many of the peasants who first heard Job's story: schadenfreude. Even if many of them avoided the temptation to rejoice at his downfall, they would certainly think that he at least now knows better what their lives have been like all along. It appears to me that the author(s) of this book did not intend to reach a lower-class audience. The fact that the book is written and in very difficult Hebrew suggests that the author was targeting an upper class audience. These readers could certainly identify more closely with Job and his friends and would not be offended by Job's comments about the lower class people by whom he has been humiliated.
Explanation 2
Book of Job is dealing specifically with the question of God's justice
in his dealings with Job. The fate of Job's children is a secondary
consideration. Consequently, the book leaves them out of the discussion except as their deaths highlight the depths of Job's sufferings. This explanation runs aground rather more quickly when one considers the implications of the deaths of one's children on one's own presumed uprightness in ancient Israelite society. That punishment for one's sins could and would fall on one's descendants is a commonplace of Israelite thought. It can be found especially in the Pentateuch, the former prophets, and the Psalms. Similar opinions about the fate of one's descendants appear in the book of Job. The implication of these sentiments is clear: Job's children died at least partly because of Job's sins. That puts the death of his children back in dead center of the debate over Job's own status as a man of integrity. Now, every time that one of the friends brings up the fate of the descendants of a wicked person, Job fails to defend his children or even mention their deaths. The easiest explanation for this is, as I said before, that in the original version of the poetic section of the book the catastrophe(s) that befell Job did not include the death of his children. But here we are working from the traditionalist presumption that the book was composed as a unity. Therefore, Job deliberately avoids talking about his children's deaths, even when the arguments of his friends either threaten to condemn him over their deaths or offer him an opportunity to defend himself and his children from their charges. This pretty much rules out that the book is silent because the death of Job's children is irrelevant.
Explanation 3
The Book of Job largely passes over the death of Job's children because the book is making an argument from the greater to the lesser. If God can strike Job with disaster, he can strike anyone. Or, put another way, if someone as upright and blessed as Job can suffer a disaster, it can happen to anyone. I think this explanation is a plausible answer to the issue raised above about the possible negative reactions of lower class people to the character of Job. A similar argument was used in various speeches in regard to someone's liability to punishment. The argument went like this: if the beings in the divine court are considered unclean in the presence of God, how much more a mere human. See Job 4:18-21; 9:13-15 for examples of the argument.
This explanation partly depends on the exalted status of the pater familias in ancient Near Eastern society. Job's wife, children, servants, and possessions are all under his authority and care. As a local ruler, he also has authority over and responsibility for the members of his community. On the one hand, a strike against his household, family, or community is a strike against him. On the other, a strike against him threatens his family, household, and community.
Community or family solidarity was apparently a fundamental part of Yahweh's view of justice according to ancient Israelites. According to the books of Kings and Chronicles, Yahweh was quite happy to bring disaster on the entire Israelite nation due to the misbehavior of its rulers. According to the story of Achan in the book of Joshua, Yahweh brought death to several Israelite warriors because of Achan's misbehavior, about which they knew nothing and had nothing to do. There are plenty of cases in the Psalms and even in the book of Job of presumably pious individuals believing and/or wishing that the children of an evil person would suffer for his sins.
Wanting punishments to fall on the children of a bad person makes for good evolutionary logic. The premature deaths of one's descendants eliminates one's genes from the gene pool and it makes good evolutionary sense to wipe out genes that appear to threaten the survival of one's own children. Odds are, some of our deep-seated emotions that lead to revenge killings of family members of our enemies are the results of evolutionary selection pressures in our remote ancestors. If you want to derive criteria for justice from the evolutionary process, you are welcome to do so -- from a prison cell in an institution for the criminally insane.
Modern societies reject the use of community or family solidarity in deciding questions of justice because in most cases using this criterion leads to injustices. Children of criminals are a classic example. 1. Children don't get to choose their parents. It is not right to assume they are part of a criminal conspiracy. 2. Children generally don't participate in their parents' crimes. They may benefit from them, but often they don't even know that their parents are providing for them illegally and if they did they would disapprove. 3. Children do not necessarily inherit their parents' criminality. I could go on and on. But why argue the general case? Reader, most likely you already find the idea of punishing a criminal's children for his/her crimes revolting. The only people who will regularly rise to defend it are apologists who want to demonstrate that the God of the Bible was justified for the various examples of summary execution the Hebrew Bible says he commanded or performed. These people are already so committed to their position that nothing I can say in a short blog post will persuade them otherwise.
So, what crimes were Job's children guilty of? According to some (see here, as a conjecture, here, and this wonderful guy, who I hope stays far away from children while he takes these attitudes) they must have been guilty of something, because Bildad accuses them of wrongdoing and Job says nothing to defend them. But this is by far a minority report, and for good reason. For one thing, there is nothing elsewhere in the book to lend support to Bildad's supposition. Job's sacrifices on behalf of his children are no evidence that they were engaged in gross sins. See here for a somewhat overstated reading of Job 1 that makes this point well. Check the standard commentaries for elaboration.
But if Job's children (and servants) were not guilty of crimes, then their deaths ruin the community solidarity argument. Job, the pater familias because of whom all these others died, is recompensed for his losses. But none of the others are. Job's servants and sons and daughters are replaced. But for the original children and servants the loss is total and uncompensated, and therefore the idea that the silence over Job's children is explained by Job's role as the pater familias is ridiculous. Instead, on this explanation the reader of the book of Job ought to be jumping mad that his original children and servants are left dead and gone at the end of the book.
The examination of other explanations will have to wait for another post.

Ornament Keepsakes for splitcoast challenge
Took Primrose base card and stamped the sentiment from Greeting of the Season in same color, added a strip of pink pirouette corner rounded and another layer of lucky limeade, embossed then corner rounded. Stamped the ornament in Primrose and accent in what else but limeade from Ornament Keepsakes set and diecut it out, added some dazzling diamonds glitter and then mounted with a dimensional and tied it off with a silver cord (retired SU). Definitely a easy 10 minute card.

I have a complicated relationship with Polyurethanes. While it's true that they are the only viable alternative to vinyl (other than leather, which frequently prices itself out of the running), it is far from the miracle textile that it is often described to be. As a retail design firm, making sure the fabric we specify holds up against abuse is our top priority. Some abuse is unintentional, like denim dye rubbing off on a white vinyl or studs on a pair of jeans scratching a seat, but some is simply the result of people being stupid. Either way, it's our responsibility to do what we can to protect the furniture and make it as indestructible as possible. This means that 99% of our upholstery specifications are high performance textiles. Since the majority of our clients don't have the budget for leather, vinyl has been the industry standard for a very, very long time unfortunately.
But what about polyurethanes? When first introduced, they were described to me as "vinyl, but much better for the environment" which sounds dreamy. As our industry responds to the mandate of sustainability, more and more textile manufacturers are phasing out vinyls and replacing them with polyurethane lookalikes. Some have eliminated vinyl from their line completely. In theory, this sounds a good thing, because what is good for the earth is also good for us, right? With a long list of benefits, it seems like the swap from toxic vinyl to something new would be a no brainer.
Except none of our clients will go near it. From dealerships to fabricators, all of my attempts to specify a polyurethane in place of a vinyl have been shot down. So what on earth going on here?
What is a Polyurethane?
Before we can dive into the complications of using it, we must first understand what it actually is. In the context of interior design, the term "polyurethane" is used to describe a high performance textile that closely resembles vinyl or leather. In reality, polyurethane is actually a synthetic polymer that is used in a whole host of things like fiber glass, upholstery foam, varnishes and even adhesives. It was first discovered by Professor Otto Bayer in 1930 as a substitute for rubber, as prices were soaring during the second World War. Since then, it has been added to everything from diapers to mattresses and, as a textile, is often touted to be a more environmentally friendly alternative to PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride, aka vinyl) and a cheaper alternative to leather.
To make a polyurethane textile, a fabric backing (typically cotton) is coated with the polymer resin in its liquid state. This forms a base that is then whipped into a frenzy (technical term) and treated to ensure durability and strength. Finally, it is topped with the decorative surface layer (also know as the skin...ick) of the desired color. From there it can be embossed, treated with a stain resistant coating, you name it, the options are pretty endless. The final product is formed by the three layers: the fabric backing, the polymer base, and the decorative skin.
Benefits of Polyurethanes
The most notable characteristics of polyurethane textiles are it's high durability and relatively low cost. It has an extremely high abrasion and stain resistance, and can withstand the use of heavy commercial cleaners without discoloring. It is somewhat breathable (more so than vinyl, but not as much as leather), and has a quite soft hand. It can emulate leather beautifully, and there are more and more patterns and colors coming out every day.
Many sources brand polyurethane as environmentally friendly which I agree with, to a certain extent. Most of it's "benefits" exist only because it's "not as bad" as vinyl. For example:
- Technically decomposes over time, but it takes 500 years to do so. That is a sure improvement from vinyl, which never decomposes, but still. Leather only takes 50 years.
- Technically it is safer when burned, as it doesn't release as many toxic compounds as vinyl, but again, it is only good because it's "less bad."
- Polyurethane's contain a vastly lower level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) than vinyl, which can improve air quality. This is actually a huge advantage.
- Depending on the manufacturer, it can by Phthalate, Lead/Heavy Metal, and BPA free.
So technically people aren't lying when they say it is more sustainable, but I do think the claim is a little misleading. I once heard it referred to as "Vegan Leather" which is completely preposterous, but a brilliant marketing strategy nonetheless. Calling polyurethane environmentally friendly is like calling Subway "healthy." Sure, it's better than McDonald's because it's not deep fried, but I doubt their actual ingredients come from that much better of a source.
So What's The Problem?
The main reason our clients and fabricators won't use polyurethane is because it is inherently more tensile than most types of fabric. This means that will puddle, or show butt marks, over time. When compared side by side, there is an extremely noticeable difference between the stretchiness of a vinyl versus a poly. While vinyls are pretty resistant when you pull on each corner, polys will completely change shape and are almost elastic. For this reason, fabricators find it much more difficult to work with and furniture is more likely to show wear over time.
In the photo below, you can see a mark where the fabric stretched and has been gathered in the middle. This is a pretty bad case of puddling. Mind you, I found this photo on a "Leather Care" site, which is much less stretchy by nature. If this is the worst case scenario for leather, you can only imagine what a poly might look like after a few years.
To solve this, the common recommendation from manufacturers is to install a higher density foam, or wrap the foam so the poly backing slides over the cushion easier. I have also heard from a few designer's that if you order 1" more on all sides, the fabricators will be able to stretch the material a little tighter when upholstering, but I have no clue if that actually works. In my experience, fabricators or dealers have taken one look at the specification and said "Nope, try again."
Other common issues to watch out for are delaminating and cracking. Delaminating is what happens when the skin or base starts to separate from the backing. I have heard that metallic finishes are more likely to do this, but I have no proof to back that up, it might just be a rumor. Cracking occurs when a poor quality textile is exposed to either too much humidity or varying temperatures. While high quality polyurethanes are known to dissipate heat quite well (so it isn't too hot or cold when you sit down), low quality polys can be broken down by something as simple as the the combination of body heat in an air conditioned room.
In most cases, the quality of the product is dependent on the resin used in the manufacturing process. The three main types of resin are:
- Polycarbonate: The only resin suitable for commercial use, it is the most expensive, but it's far and away the most resistant to heat, light, and humidity.
- Polyether: Only suitable for light commercial use, falls in a medium price range, and has an average resistance to heat, light, and humidity.
- Polyester: Not suitable for commercial use. It's low cost is matched by it's low resistance to heat, light, and humidity.
In addition to the type of resin, a fabric's Hydrolysis Resistance is one of the most important ratings to look for when specifying polyurethane. For commercial applications, a 5 Year Resistance rating is recommended at the minimum. In addition, a minimum of 40 hrs is recommended to to meet ACT standards for lightfastness.
So What Should We Do?
I think educating ourselves and our contractors is the best place to start. While polyurethanes are far from perfect, the improved environmental impact cannot be ignored, but should also not be overstated. It is important for design professionals to be aware of the realities and risks of what we specify, and know what to look for when doing so. I believe that as more polys are introduced into the market, more fabricators will learn how to work with them. Additionally, as time goes on and the industry continues to evolve, our clients will hopefully start to come around.
That being said, the best case scenario really is leather. All of the designers in my firm (including myself) are firmly in favor of spending more on quality up front, and saving on maintenance in the long run. This topic really deserves it's own post, but I think it's still important to mention here. In regards to high performance upholstery, leather is the gold standard. Complications exist in the tanning process and the chemicals that are used for it, but I would argue that it is the most environmentally conscious option as well. Controversial, I know! Yes, it is an animal product, but it's important to remember that no cows are being slaughtered for their hides, they are being slaughtered for their meat (which is a different conversation entirely). Apart from the fact that animal hides have been used by humans since the dawn of time, it is silly to think that manufacturing a new plastic material is better for the environment than using a resource this is readily available. Especially when you consider that it is more biodegradable and will need to be replaced far less frequently than any lookalike. Why would you waste a better product that exists anyway (as a byproduct of the meat industry) in favor of a completely synthetic product that doesn't occur naturally in nature in any form?
But I digress. The biggest challenge of leather is the cost, which is why alternatives have risen to such heights in the retail/hospitality industry. It's cheap, and it works (just not as well). While polyurethanes have a ways to go before our clients will use them, I won't be giving up any time soon. It is my hope that by educating myself and others, we can address these problems practically and move towards a more sustainable solution.

This is my first post this year. So here's wishing you all a picturesque 2010!
The middle east has always been on my list of travel destinations. So when I got the opportunity to visit the tiny island of Bahrain, I grabbed it. The name literally means "The Kingdom of the Two seas" in Arabic (more here). The country seems to be one of the more liberal Muslim nation. This is surprising considering it's immediate neighbours are Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Anyway, the country offers a good mix of the modern and the historic. This little island has a International Formula One Circuit, broad streets, ultra-modern malls, right next to beautiful old mosques, little pottery villages and markets (or Souq in Arabic) that are hundreds of years old. My work kept me tied down or I would have loved to photograph every thing on this list.
But here are some photographs I could manage to take
The complete set can be viewed here.
I am hoping to be able to get back there and capture what I missed out this time around.

I've never been good at keeping secrets, but lord allmighty, I've kept a doozie all these years. Only Thelma Louise and my other goats know the truth (I'm a goat whisperer, so we have us some good long talks).
Here's the thing... most folks think the Cassidy family line was a straight shot. Butch Cassidy and the love of his life, Cressida Harlow, had Texana (who was born on the Texas/Louisianna border). Then Cressida had Loretta Mae, my mother. I had Tessa (her name is a blend of Texana and Cressida), and she had Harlow.
So imagine my surprise when when I found out Butch hadn't been so loyal after all. Oh no, he'd had a little fun with Etta Place which created a whole new Cassidy line. And if you've read Harlow's story in Pleating for Mercy, you know all about what that means. More charms.
Lordy, what to do with this information. It's wearing a hole in me. If I tell you, can you keep a secret? Tell me what to do. Keep it from Tessa and Harlow? Tell them? And what about the other Cassidy line? What to do, what to do...

When properly used inside the sleeping bag of your camping hammock a vapor barrier can significantly increase your body heat. A barrier bag can raise body temperature ten to fifteen degrees. A vapor barrier traps body vapor close to the skin raising the humidity around the bosdy to 100%. This shuts down the body's heat loss due to perpiration. This vapor stays and over the course of the night gradually raises body temperature.

Etihad Airways launched daily flights to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Today's inaugural flight – EY441 – has historic significance as the first ever commercial passenger service between Abu Dhabi and Vietnam's commercial capital.
Travellers between Abu Dhabi and Ho Chi Minh City can now enjoy the convenience of non-stop flights between the city pair with seamless connections to the airline's global flight network.
Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said the new Ho Chi Minh City flights would meet strong demand for business and leisure travel and cargo services between Vietnam and the UAE, the Middle East and Europe.
"Vietnam is not only the 13th most populous nation, it is also one of the world's fastest growing economies. Its commercial capital, Ho Chi Minh City, is a gateway for millions of Vietnamese international travellers and a busy trading hub.
"Our daily services will inject approximately 3,700 new seats a week into the route. This will intensify competition among airlines for business, leisure and VFR travel from Vietnam to Europe and help boost visitor traffic to the UAE and GCC.
Mr Hogan also highlighted the revenue potential of the new services to Vietnam for the airline's highly successful freight division, Etihad Cargo.
"The United Arab Emirates is Vietnam's seventh largest trading partner and its largest in the Gulf region.
The Abu Dhabi-Ho Chi Minh City flights are operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft with 22 seats in Pearl Business Class and 240 in Coral Economy Class.
With the launch of Etihad Airways' Vietnam flights, its codeshare partner, Vietnam Airlines, will place its VN code on the Abu Dhabi-Ho Chi Minh City sector. This extends the scope of the airlines' current codeshare agreement. Etihad Airways already has its EY code on Vietnam Airlines' flights from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam Airlines has its VN code on Etihad Airways' flights from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur to Abu Dhabi and luxury coach services from Abu Dhabi International Airport to Dubai.
