splore 2015
Splore was once again a feast for the senses. This year I didn't take a camera, just my phone. We camped in the Theme Camp area with our "Makey Connection" camp. Not much sleep was had due to some noisy Wellington neighbors so we have plans to sleep elsewhere next time.
Team Larnach had the most amazing bird costumes for the Saturday night and we cobbled together some Peter Pan themed outfits.
Highlight #1 was performing at Splore with my wonderful water ballet troupe, The Wet Hot Beauties. We performed on five Saturdays in Feb/March and I think the Splore show was my favourite.
It was so much fun to be joined by fifty or so festival goers in bathing hats, including our two boys. The kids loved it so much they joined us for the next show too (will post a photo sometime).
Highlight #2 of the festival was seeing the Correspondents in the Living Lounge. They were unbelievably good. To be honest I hadn't even heard of them until a week or two before. If you ever get a chance to see them live JUST DO IT!

Misty morning here over the fields as I type, off to buy Christmas tree so Evie can help to decorate it.
Have fun, love from the Smith family.X

The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy (Second Edition) Ebook
- Check Supported devices and software requirements .
- Ebooks once opened are non-refundable. View return policy .
- OnlineBookPlace.com Store Reviews on Google and Yahoo
A key unresolved issue lies at the heart of our science — the quest of Aristotle, Newton, Einstein, Hawking and many others, now widely known as the Theory of Everything. This ultimate understanding is expected to transform science and resolve its many mysteries — all via one single overlooked principle in nature that will explain, simplify and unify everything. This quest has produced theories such as Special Relativity, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, enormous investments in powerful particle accelerators and space telescopes, and such recent pursuits as "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy." But enormous problems remain: these theories, projects and pursuits are all completely separate and frequently incompatible, presenting unresolved abstractions, speculation, paradoxes and mysteries that often even violate our laws of physics, upon closer examination. As a result, the Theory of Everything continues to elude us, with no clear way forward. The Final Theory clearly shows why this is the case, exposing centuries of well-intentioned but misguided scientific thought that has locked us into an erroneous and highly troubled energy-based science that has taken us far off track. It corrects the errors in our scientific legacy, showing that energy is actually a misunderstanding of the unifying principle we have sought for centuries — a principle that is active all around us, producing all known phenomena such as gravity, light, electricity and magnetism. This new understanding replaces both Newton's "gravitational force" theory and Einstein's "warped space-time" General Relativity Theory, while also overturning such theories as Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. In their place is a single simple principle that finally demystifies, explains and unifies everything. Read The Final Theory and judge for yourself whether the Theory of Everything has finally arrived!

This is similar to the English Counties and US States challenges, wherein I read at least one contemporary novel by an author born or raised in each of the 32 Irish counties. I'm including Northern Ireland because it has a significant attachment to the Republic, even if it is a separate entity. My secondary goal is to read all of the books on this list.
- All included works are preferably novels written after 1950.
Failing that, short story collections from a similar time period. They may be set in older time periods, e.g. during the famine. (This is just personal preference for categories on my part.) - All authors were either born in, or raised in, the county they are associated with.
For many authors, this means they are associated with more than one county. In most cases I choose authors born in a county, but if I am lacking choice I will choose an author raised in that county. - Each author will only be listed once.
In instances where I have read multiple books by one listed author, I will name my favourite.

Brown, Laurie Metcalf, Jay Underwood, Brian Tarantina
Directed by Walter Hill
Two popular comedies starring John Candy. In 'Brewster's Millions' (1985), Richard Pryor plays a man who stands to inherit $300 million - if he can first spend $30 million in 30 days without letting anyone in on the reason.
This proves harder than he'd imagined, even with the assistance of his friend, Spike (Candy).
In 'Uncle Buck' (1989), Candy plays the jobless, happy-go-lucky slob of an uncle who is asked to babysit his niece and nephew (Gaby Hoffman and Macaulay Culkin) at short notice.
His hidden flair for childcare soon emerges, even as his relationship with long-suffering girlfriend Chanice (Amy Madigan) takes a turn for the worse.

Before 1930, every Christian denomination opposed contraception. As a result, Whites were 36 percent of the world's population in 1900.
The combined population of India and China today, is 36 percent of the world's population. The percentage of Whites in the world's population in 1900, was similar to the combined percentage of India and China to the world's population today.
Western civilization in 1900, was not just dominant because of the West's science and technology. The West had demographic power, that gave Whites a majority in 3 continents (Europe, North America and Australia). Whites were a large minority in the 4th continent, South America.
In the US, the population increased from 5.3 million in 1800 to 76 million in 1900, an amazing 14 times increase of the population.
The fact that all Christian denominations opposed contraception before 1930, was an important factor explaining why Western civilization ended up ruling the world. By viewing its babies as blessings, Western civilization was deeply blessed by God.
Global politics is a numbers game. If the people of the West fail to reclaim the wisdom of their ancestors, Western civilization will die.
Before 1930, All Christian Denominations Opposed Contraception
Sex is a need. Like food. And the OT message of "be fruitful and multiply" was replaced by Paul's (i paraphrase) "it is better to remain single, but if you are horny, get married so you don't sin."
Nothing there about contraception being good or bad.
What does our race have to do with anything?
Not much existed in the way of contraception in 1930.
Prehistoric condoms and some crude spermacides were about it. I doubt the topic even came up to anywhere near the extent it does today.
Was Western Civilization invented by Kalahari Bushmen?
Somewhere along the way people lost sight of the fact that children are a blessing from The Lord.
What's wrong with birth control?
Agreed. This vanity post sounds like a KKK promotion on race.
We have been warned. Read Humanae Vitae.
I have read Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". There is a scene where Levin describes urban couples who in my comprehension sterilize themselves. This is related to Anna sterilizing herself after giving girth to her bastard child. Levin describes how unnatural it is.
>>>Not much existed in the way of contraception in 1930
Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control clinic in 1916. There was a lot of contraceptive knowledge around at that time, and most of it came from France. Christian churches were aware of contraceptives, and they preached against them.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
2399 The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or contraception).
2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:
Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.
See #9 and #12
>>>Whats wrong with birth control?
I am not passing judgement on career women who use birth control. I am just discussing the demographic situation as it existed before 1930.
So Christianity is a white thing?
"our" race? What race is that? Is everyone here the same race?
Yes but the track record of these Austrailoid Caucasian hybrids and the fact once they establish in the west or become more financially successful in their homelands their birth rate cliff dives
It's a weird paradox but comfort and ease of life means fewer kids
Plus less agrarian pursuits do too
Btw yes I know Brahmin class Indians are considered white as me
And some are
To be honest I'm not that impressed
Neither them or Pakis much less Bangladesh are Japan or Germany smarts wise
I think it is only the Amish, old older Mennonites, Catholics and some independents like the quiver full folks that haven't accepted it yet. The Amish, old order Mennonites and Catholics haven't accepted civil divorce and remarriage either to my understanding.
>>>This vanity post sounds like a KKK promotion on race
My post never promoted the idea that any race is superior to any other. I credited the success of Western civilization to Europeans following old-fashioned Christian teachings, not to their biological characteristics.
Deuteronomy 30:19
But, but - with no contraception, you can't f*** who you want, when, where, and how you want while avoiding responsibility.
How could we survive?
>>>So Christianity is a white thing?
No. But before 1930, over 80 percent of Christians were White.
That scripture addresses the CI position in the CI vs ECT debate.
I don't see it relating to contraception.
It was a rhetorical question...
I often say, "Wealth is the best environmental policy" (because only people with means can afford to care much about the environment) and "Wealth is the most effective contraceptive" (largely because people with means don't need to reproduce simply to have a retirement plan).
It's not that any race is in a race to breed themselves out. It's that the wealthier people become, the fewer children they tend to have. There's a knock-on effect, so to speak, because as more and more of the higher-wealth people have fewer and fewer children, it becomes fashionable not to have children, just as it has become fashionable not to smoke.
Depends on whether you think God's design of human sexuality was wise and normative, or arbitrary and changeable.
If the human design, linking male-female erotic attraction and fertility, is arbitrary or based on chance, then we are authorized to change it and reconfigure it any way we want: homosexuality, contraception, transsexualism, whatever seems right in your own eyes.
If the human design is wise and normative -— a good in itself —— we are not authorized by God to claim a right to disable, impair, or sabotage its essential nature.
I'm no expert on the history of contraception, but there's been abnormal non-procreative forms of copulation since Genesis. People have long used marital sodomy to avoid offspring.
Cintracsption de-sacralizes sex by substituting a different nonfunctional design, in place of God's design. In effect, most contraception is based on the assumption that normal female fertility is a glitch, not a feature.
As if women were designed wrong-—by whatever idiot designed them, -— but we can fix that!
So it is from a JudeoChristian point of view, sacrilege; and from a Natural Law point of view, misogynistic and maiming: an intentional impairment or disabling of normal female physiological function.
ON THE OTHER HAND, methods of spacing or postponing pregnancy which do not sabotage natural fertility -— e.g. choosing go have intercourse at naturally infertile times of the cycle -— are more pro-whole-woman and not objectionable.
I just don't get that legalistic about it.
For me, all things are ok, but not all things are profitable. Sex between me and my wife is a VERY good thing on a lot of levels. It is one of God's greatest gifts, right up there with enjoying a really good Burger, or Bourbon.
Islam is the a "letter of the law" religion.
Christianity is a "spirit of the law" religion. He leaves the small decisions to us and asks us to consider the context.
My wife and I are over sixty, contraception is not an issue. It doesn't mean God says we're no longer allowed to have sex. And I can find no scripture that says that if you DO have sex with your wife in the fertile years, you are required to enable it to result in birth.
We have six kids. We were both altered to be sterile after that.
Burgers are great, and so is sex!
I don't see how my post was legalistic, unless regarding normal, natural, healthy sexual design as the norm, is some sort of bigoted imposition.
The Amish population has basically doubled in the last 30 years or so to my understanding.
I didn't mean your post. I just mean there is a lot of legalism read into the bible that simply is not there. Sex is a good example of that. My perspective is this: When a man and woman marry, they are free from sin, guilt or condemnation when they pleasure each other. If they do things to ensure it does not end in pregnancy, I don't see anything in the bible that would even suggest that would be some sort of sin.
I feel like "white" is being used as a synonym for "christian" in this article. That is pretty racist.
Do we want the world to be more "white?" Is that our goal?
There is no Bible verse that condemns contraception.
There are many positive references to children, childbearing, children being a blessing, yes.
But lots of things are blessing also: like money, and food. But we shouldn't just amass hordes of money or eat all day.
Some cite the story of Onan as a warning against birth control. Specifically instructed to get his sister in law pregnant to raise up seed for his brother, Onan used the withdrawal method. This was a sin. But it was a sin because he refused to obey a specific commandment.
So you have to use your own judgement about birth control, seeing God's lauding of childbirth and multiplying, yet, seeing he has not specifically prohibited contraception.
And yes, in using your own judgement, do think on the fact that he who breeds, leads. A main source of dominion is reproduction, plain and simple.
Mom of five.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no instance of normal intercourse which is condemned in the Bible, but every instance of "altered" intercourse, whether between men, between women, or between a man and a woman where the act is contracepted--- is condemned. Every time.
If you can think of any exceptions, let me know.
The unanimity of the Bible on this point ought to tell us something. The unanimity of Christendom on this point for 1900+ years, ought to tell us something as well.
For real?
Glad I'm Protestant.
I had fertility issues that made "natural" birth control impossible. And I sure did want a family of Duggars.
Do you advocate for modern medicine? God did give us a brain to development treatments and medicinal options.
And speaking of the Amish, I live near a large community...incest is a real issue...
From my perspective, you would have to screen out a lot of the Bible in order to say that disabling sexual intercourse to frustrate its normal function, is pleasing to God.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no instance of normal intercourse which is condemned in the Bible, but every instance of "altered" intercourse, whether between men, between women, or between a man and a woman where the act is contracepted-— is condemned. Every time.

Did you ever read Song of Solomon. It's not about procreation.
Really incest amongst Amish
Bad as Indian reservations
I never imagined that
Intersting all white locations are favorited by China?
which shows that the failure to procreate relative to the levirate obligation, was not the only issue or even the main issue. If that were "it," both Judah and his youngest son Shelah would be liable to death, since they also did not fulfill the obligation with her. (Of course, until Tamar tricked Judah into it.)
But non-fulfillment of the levitate obligation in the OT did not incur the death penalty. It incurred a public shaming at the city gates. That was all.
What Onan did went beyond that: it deeply angered the LORD because it was a perverse act: going through the motions of intercourse while frustrating the natural fertility of the act.
The Song of Solomon is great. And, though it doesn't mention procreation, at no point does it disable or sabotage procreation.
I do advocate for modern medicine, which is the opposite of contraception.
Ethical medicine targets disease, and restores or strengthens natural function.
Contraception (and related destructive interventions, like sex-reassignment surgery) targets and disables healthy organs, and intentionally impairs natural functioning.
Ethical medicine heals. Contraception-sterilization-sexchange surgery harms. It's intended to. It impairs normal sexual physiology.
And nothing requires non-contraceptors to have as many kids as the Duggars. My parents never practiced contraception, and had two children. My husband and I never practiced contraception, and we have one (homegrown!) and one adopted.
We are on the cusp of having artificial wombs. Wonder what kind of arguments that will generate.
People who are for birth control, shouldn't complain about illegal immigration. Decreased fertility costs a huge influx in immigration.
If you believe that, stop complaining about illegal i immigration. And stop complaining if a culture you like is being erased. You are voting for it.
So me not wanting a house load of kids caused pregnant Maria to waddle across the border....Right LOL
Well, you are trying to put it glibly, but, yes. You can joke all you want, but it's true. "House full of kids" What is the fertility rate of white, non-Hispanic people in the U.s.? 1.2? It's way lower than replacement rate. Not a "houseful of kids." Look, you can ignore G-d's law all you want and laugh in His face. But actions have consequences.
I'm not going to become a baby machine to preserve the white race.
That is offensive on several levels.
Those other races you're so concerned with catching up, God made them too.
My name is not Onan. I'm good.
Well, as far as choosing is concerned, the opposite of life is death, regardless what those abbreviations mean.
BTW, ECT means eternal, conscious torment.
CI means "conditional immortality". IOW, only the saved have immortality. The lost experience, as you pointed out, death. And that condition is their penalty/punishment. And that condition will last for eternity. They ain't comin' back.
