As to the location of the Book of Mormon Land of Promise, there are the multiple Mesoamerica Theories, there are the multiple Great Lakes Theories, there is the Heartland Theory, the Baja California Theory, the Malay Theory, the Florida Theory and, no doubt, many others. The problem is, they are simply theories, and as such, should stand up to the standard for evaluating a theory.
Any Theory is merely
a set of ideas formulated by an individual or group. Once that theory has been
developed, it must be tested. The test then has to be based upon something that
is unchangeable and unquestionably accurate. So to have a theory tested, there
must be a basis against which the test can be applied. In the case of the Land
of Promise in the Book of Mormon, the basis has to be the descriptions given us
by Nephi (1st and 2nd Nephi) and by Mormon, the abridger
of Mosiah thru Mormon, and by Moroni, the translator of Ether. These are the
men who lived in the land at the time of the scriptural record—they walked the
land, understood it and what was in it. We should not take the ideas, opinions,
and beliefs of modern men as the basis of judging Mormon's descriptions and
record, though they be academicians, historians, writers, or even Church
Leaders, over that of the scriptural record, unless, as prophets, they are speaking
with the authority of the Church as revelators.
So what exactly is a
theory, and what importance does it hold? The word itself comes from the late
16th century and taken from the late Latin which is from the Greek theōria meaning "contemplation,
speculation," from theōros, meaning
"spectator." Its synonyms are: speculation, conjecture, supposition,
assumption, presumption, notion, guess, hunch, opinion, belief. Its
antonyms (opposite meaning) are: practical, realistic, actual. Thus it might be
suggested that a "theory" is not the same as reality, or being realistic.
Some famous comments
about theory: "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts," "In theory
there is no difference between theory and practice—in practice there is," "Experience
without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual
play," "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how
smart you are—if it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong," "Your theory is
crazy but it's not crazy enough to be true," and "How empty is theory in the
presence of fact."
The point is, having
theories can be useful, but only if tested against reality. If it doesn't stand
up, and contrary facts abound, then it should put an end to the fallacy of
unsupportable theory—unfortunately, we often find that is not the case. People
like to hold on to their theories even in the light of proof to the contrary.
As the old saying goes, "Don't confuse me with the facts."
This is what happened
with Willard F. Libby and his theory of radiocarbon dating time clock. Even
though his own experiments failed to show the correctness of his theory
assumptions (equilibrium or non-quilibrium basis), he chose to reject the
evidence on the basis of what he considered to be common knowledge that things
were much older than his earlier measurements showed (See our post "The Theory
and Problems of the Carbon-14 Time Clock—Part II," November 10, 2012).
As for the Land of
Promise, take, as an example, those who have a theory that the Land of Promise
was located in the Great Lakes area of western New York, or the American heartland.
The first of these theories require that Lehi landed or settled somewhere along
the shore of Lake Erie.
Top: A limited model with Ripliancum Lake
Ontario, and the West Sea Lake Erie; Bottom: A larger model with the Sea South
Lake Erie, Sea East Lake Ontario, Sea West Lake Huron and Sea North Georgian
Bay and the area in between being the entire Land of Promise
Take either of these
two sub-theories, or any of the other Great Lakes theories, and the first question to ask is "How did Lehi get there?" The
answers run from "Up the St. Lawrence River," or "Up the Mississippi River," to
"Via the eastern inland seas."
As has been shown in
the previous three posts, ("Sailing a River to the Land of Promise"), the
Mississippi and St. Lawrence rivers, as well as all those "eastern inland rivers"
flow toward the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Stated differently, all
of those rivers would have been flowing against
Lehi's progress up these rivers. And
in the last post we have shown that the problem such flow would cause in trying
to sail through that opposite flow with a sailing ship "driven forth before the
Entering from the Atlantic, through the Gulf
of St. Lawrence (top arrow), a ship could sail as far as Montreal where it
would encounter impassable rapids (next arrow). No further progress would be
possible. But even if possible, it would be stopped by the falls between Lake
Ontario and Lake Erie, where progress would again be blocked. Thus, to reach
the Landing area Mormon describes ("along by the seashore" Alma 22:28), a
trip of considerable distance overland would have to take place, which is not supported by the scriptural record
As for the St.
Lawrence, as pointed out, the rapids at Lachine, 360 miles from Lake Erie,
would not allow any ship to pass beyond that point (Montreal), and passage up
the Mississippi for a deep-water sailing ship such as Nephi's, would not have
had enough depth of water to get past Baton Rouge and continue up the river, thus
creating an overland trek of 800 more miles to Lake Erie.
Of course, Great
Lakes Theorists like to claim that the scriptural record does not say Lehi landed
on the shore of the West Sea. However, Mormon is quite clear: "Now, the more
idle part of the Lamanites lived in the wilderness, and dwelt in tents; and
they were spread through the wilderness on
the west, in the land of Nephi; yea, and also on the west of the land of Zarahemla, in the borders by the seashore, and on
the west in the land of Nephi, in the place of their fathers' first inheritance,
and thus bordering along by the seashore"
(Alma 22:28—emphasis mine).
Since the lands of
Zarahemla and Nephi stretched to the West Sea (Alma 22:32; 50:11), and Mormon
tells us that along this seashore was their fathers' first inheritance, it is an unarguable fact that Lehi landed along the
shore of the West Sea and it was along this shore where they landed that settled, which is referred to as
the Land of First Inheritance--or the first land given them by the Lord after crossing the Great Deep.
In the last two
posts, it was shown that the facts against sailing upriver on the St. Lawrence
make that theory literally impossible. And the theory of sailing up the
Mississippi in a ship in 600 B.C. propelled by wind and current ("Driven forth before the wind" 1 Nephi
18:8,9) could not have overcome the flow of the river and the strength of the
wind to sail up the Mississippi, nor could they have moved further north than Baton Rouge because of the shallow depth beyond that point.
As an example:
FACT #1: An ancient
sailing vessel propelled by wind alone could not exceed its designed hull
FACT #2: An ancient
sailing vessel propelled by wind alone could not sail into the wind.
FACT #3: If the
current moving against the ship was less than the wind blowing the ship
forward, it would make little headway.
FACT #4: If the wind
moving against the ship was less than the current moving the ship forward, it
would make little headway.
FACT #5: If the
current moving against the ship equalized the speed of the wind blowing the
ship forward, it would make no headway.
FACT #6: If the wind
moving against the ship equalized the speed of the current moving the ship
forward, it would make no headway
FACT #7: If the
current moving against the ship exceeded the speed of the wind blowing the ship
forward, it would lose headway.
FACT #8: If the wind
moving against the ship exceeded the speed of the current moving the ship
forward, it would lose headway.
These facts exist and must be factored in with any course Lehi is claimed to have sailed. Nor can they be
set aside or ignored simply by having a theory. One can say they sailed up the Mississippi River, but several facts show that to be in error, i.e., strength of the current flowing downriver, winds blowing across and downriver, the shallow depth, etc. One must be able to show how any theory uses the eight facts stated above.
However, the Theorists involved in such areas as the Great Lakes or the Heartland never bother to do
that. They simply place Lehi in a location of their choice with very little thought, and no supportable evidence of how he got there. And because they do not show how it was done, their Theory is not a theory at all, but simply an unsupportable idea.
(See the next post,
"When is a theory not a theory? – Part II," for the second part of these Great
Lake Theories, "The Eastern Inland Waterways" to see if Lehi could have sailed
close to the Great Lakes)

UPI reported the company saying that two of the injured contractors have been discharged from a hospital, while one Aramco employee remains in stable condition. As of yet, no details have been given regarding how the other contractor died. An emergency response team has managed to contain the leak and the company said it would carry out a thorough investigation of the accident.

Acceptance of your as-is is very important aspect in any relationship. And especially so in your relationship with food. A vast majority of people do not feel connected with their own bodies, and by extension, to their environment and their lives. So pervasive is this disembodiment, that we hardly realise it. Our family, and the society where we live, keeps on pushing us further into disembodiment, as they are equally moving further away from their relationship with their body and food.
Finding a purpose in life helps stop the disembodiment process.
When we have something bigger than our own existence to look forward to, we accept greater challenges and increase our potential. A perfect everyday example is a woman. When she is young, the woman is careless – about what she eats, how she moves and when she rests. Once she knows she is going to be a mother, her whole identify changes. There comes a purpose in her life – the unborn child. Now she needs to be careful about what she eats (so as to provide sufficient nourishment to the baby); she is careful about her movements (so as not to cause harm to the child) and she ensures that she gets adequate rest. It is no longer herself. She as a new purpose in life; a new challenge and she transforms herself to meet them. We often hear of cases when a woman had not realised she's pregnant, but her attitude and habits had changed much before the realisation. It is the nature's way of manifesting the subconscious with the potential of creation.
Similarly, a young man realises this potential when he looks at and holds his child for the first time. The feeling fosters a strong realisation of his potential which has led to the creation of this life. Along with the realisation comes an awareness of his responsibility to guide, support and nurture this creation in which he played a part.
So how does this fit in our relationship with food?
Once we realise our potential and our ability, it opens a completely new perspective about ourselves – our uniqueness and the untapped potential within us. It guides us to our purpose in life. Without a purpose, we are lost souls; we continue to do things without deriving pleasure from it. However, once we realise the purpose, every small action acquires a meaning. It either leads us closer to our goal or takes us away from it. Self-realisation is the greatest gift you can receive. So long as you do not realise it, it is like a gift which is yet to be opened. And unlike the other gifts, it is not just for us, but its true meaning and importance is to spread it and give back something to the planet earth.
When self-realisation dawns upon us, we stop blaming, shaming, and cursing our body. It is no longer imperfect. The body shape that you lusted for, does not hold the same value, as you see your body in a different light. You start noticing the uniqueness in your body shape – those curves that were hitherto hidden from you. And you start loving your body. Your weight is just another number which can be taken care of with love and acceptance. Your dress size, similarly is yet another number (helpful when you need to buy a new set of clothes, but not something that you're ashamed of!). When you love a possession, you care for it. So when you accept your body and love it, you start caring for it. No longer you 'punish' your body eating wrong food, or over-eating. No longer you starve your body without food. You start listening to your body and respond positively.
With self-realisation you start engaging with life in present, becoming mindful of what we are creating on this planet earth. And you are not alone. What you do influences people around you. Your partner, your co-workers, your kids watch what you are doing and adopt them in various stages. Some months ago I was working with a client, helping her in her self-realisation process. Her partner was scornful of the whole idea and ridiculed it. In a matter of weeks, he could see the transformation happening in his client. The ridicule stopped and the scorn was transformed to curiosity. And then to experimentation. And then to appreciation. He has seen the physical manifestation (health, fitness and 'glow') as well as the spiritual manifestation (calmness, purposefulness) of the self-realisation process that my client was going through. Slowly, but firmly, my client stopped eating the food which did not agree with her (she said she never liked it, but ate it because her partner liked them!)
How do we know what is our purpose in life on this planet?
Depending on how long you have been in a state of disembodiment for long, it may take some time to connect with your soul. But trust me, it will happen. You need to be prepared to let go of your beliefs and stop criticising yourself for your apparent failures. The sooner you let go, the easier it will be to get grounded.
In terms of Chakra system, we are enabling our first and second chakras. You can also do some grounding exercises like walking barefoot on grass. And feeling it! It is very important to concentrate on your feet and feel the ground beneath your feet. Gently press your feet to the ground and imagine your feet developing roots, so that you are well supported and taken care of!
Go out for a walk and observe your surroundings – the sunlight on leaves, the myriad patterns of light and shades. Don't observe for the sake of observing; learn to enjoy the sight! You're privileged to have been bestowed with the power of sight! Be thankful and use it to observe the beauty around you! And not just watch the telly!
Don't be afraid to try out things which brings smile to your face – like dance, music, colours. If you are unsure, you may need to try them out to decide which one that brings you greatest satisfaction is.
Don't ignore the painful thoughts and emotions. They are there for a purpose. Most often they have a hidden message in you and they help you discover your purpose. I am a big fan of Mandala and its powerful visualisation technique has helped me and my clients uncover their purpose in life. Drawing and understanding Mandalas need an expert guidance and I strongly encourage you to try it.
If you are unable to try any of the above techniques, I encourage you to talk to people who know you well and ask them to list 5 good qualities that they see in you and 5 potential development areas. This can be a very good starting point for your journey to self-realisation.
Now, when we know we are not hear to fit in a number (size) or a behaviour pattern, we start working towards our purpose. We journey starts from a place where we have a far important reason to be healthy, to look after ourselves, because we cannot afford to waste a beautiful gift (our body) without it achieving its purpose. Universe wants us to explore and live our life fully. Let's change just ourselves; and the change creates ripples in your environment, engulfing first the one closest to you; then your immediate surroundings, then your community, your society and finally the world!
In my next blog, which is the third part of this series, I will talk about embracing our sexuality and how it transforms us as a whole and our relationship with food.
Till the, bye from Breathe Move Love!

What is Unschooling?
We frequently add new articles, so bookmark this website and check back often.
A free skool is a decentralized network that allows people to share knowledge, information and skills, without the institutional hierarchy and authoritarianism of conventional school. The open configuration of free skools encourages self-reliance, personal development, and critical consciousness. Free skools offer a great social and learning resources for unschoolers and others looking to learn and share knowledge without institutional school.
Generally, free skools intentionally use the non-traditional spelling of the word school to demonstrate the non-traditional aspects of their methods. Additionally, the difference in spelling between skool and school helps stress the difference between free skooling and conventional schooling.
The history of free skools traces back to the anarchist schools of Spain in the late Nineteenth Century and early Twentieth Century. More recently, the free skool methodology had a revival in the democratic school movement.
Free skools inherently take a non-institutional and non-authoritarian approach to learning and knowledge-sharing. Generally, a free skool comes in the form of a grassroots effort as a set of individuals who work both autonomously and collectively to form local learning opportunities and skill-sharing.
Free skools often favor a gift economy as opposed to a market economy, meaning they favor giving goods and services away rather than buying and selling them. However, the word "free" in free skools does not merely refer to money, but rather to an emphasis on personal freedom especially when it comes to the freedom to exchange information, including free speech, and the freedom to choose how to learn on one's own. In other words, the free in free skools comes from the lack of coercion and authority of institutional schools.
While some simply offer moderate democratic reforms to the conventional education system, more radical manifestations of non-hierarchical learning have popped up, both in the form of temporary and permanent free skools, which both offer alternatives to the oppressive and institutional educational industry. Many radical gatherings and actions now commonly include temporary free skools with skill-sharing and knowledge-sharing. The permanent skools have also popped up throughout North America, and these "skools" offer a vast range of classes, workshops, and skill-shares.
I hope this article answered all of your questions about free skools. If you have any remaining questions, or if you have any comments or suggestions, please post them in our Education and Learning Forums.

- Bidet Attachment Buying Guide
Last Updated onThe most hygienic way to clean yourself after using the toilet is with a bidet. While not popular in all countries, bidet purchases remain steady across the board and with good reason. Bidets are single-handedly the best way to ensure the cleanliest toilet use for users which is why we spent a number of hours reviewing and researching the best bidet attachment available.
Why? Because you'll feel more refreshed and cleaner than you have ever felt after using the toilet. But us in the West, specifically Americans, have yet to really catch on.
Many cry, "they're so expensive!" Well if you consider one these bidet attachments you can have one in your home and it's far easier than you'd expect.
Today, you can get bidet attachment for a fraction of the price in comparison to toilet seat bidets. This makes them much more appealing for those curious to try one. If this investment doesn't work out, it's not like you're not on the hook for A) the cost remodeling your bathroom to add a traditional bidet or B) the $150+ that it costs for a bidet toilet seat.
Here are some of the bidet attachments we recommend that can fit neatly under your toilet seat.

The Best Bidet Attachment
#1 Luxe Bidet Neo 320
Our first overall pick for the best bidet attachments is the Neo 320 from Luxe Bidet. It features everything we like in a bidet and then some! Luxe Bidet has a swath of various bidets and bidet types so it's no wonder they crack our list of bidet attachments for your toilet.
Right off the bat when looking at the Neo 320, you see it has both warm and cold water capabilities, which puts it in rare company on our list of the top bidet attachments to add to your toilet seat. While a bidet attachment for your toilet like this typically doesn't have warm water, you can make that work with the Neo 320. The only trick is that you need to be able to run warm water to the bidet, as all bidet attachments are non-electric. Therefore, they are unable to warm up cold water from your toilet's fill line.
Moving on from there, the lever to activate the wash is very smooth and easy to use. If you're taking advantage of warm water, simply slide the dial to the temperature of your choosing and slowly pull the lever up to activate the spray. Moving down the control panel you can see the self-cleaning and front-wash dial is straightforward and easy to use.
If you have the ability to run a warm water hookup, the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 is an excellent option!
See what others have said:
- Bluema: "All in all, I'm glad that such an affordable functional bidet product is available, and I do highly recommend that you try. I can only write how clean and refreshed I feel after each use, but you'll just have to experience that for yourself. It may even be an unusual gift that may eventually become an indispensable item for some with certain conditions (sensitive skin or hemorrhoids)."
- Arnie: "I have to say this is a super product. I installed the TOTO unit in the master bathroom and believe me it is a master piece. Very well constructed. But now we look at the price difference of the LUXE Bidet and TOTO whereas I have to say LUXE did a fantastic job."
#2 Boss Bidet BOLD
Our second overall pick for the best bidet attachment is the Boss Bidet BOLD. The folks over a Boss Bidet have not been in the bidet game long but you wouldn't think that from their line of bidets, especially their newest lineup which also includes the Boss Bidet Luxury and Mini.
The looks of the BOLD are indeed bold and unlike any of the other bidets on our list. You can get it in either white (shown) or black, which is just another feather in the cap for its looks. The BOLD comes with a steel hose, rather than some junky plastic one, and the control panel is masterfully built—namely the on/off lever. All pressure control is handled in the on/off lever which makes the controls straightforward and simple to use. There is enough pressure through the BOLD that if you need the enema wash, it's right there at your fingertips.
Don't be spineless in choosing your next bidet (or perhaps your first). Be bold in your decision and choose the Boss Bidet BOLD.
See what others have said:
- AugustBound: "This is a perfect way to clean your butt while traveling. I use less toilet paper and feel fresh when I'm done! I put this bidet and in my bag and I'm ready for every any bathroom I come across. I highly recommend this product!"
- Amjed D: "After coming back from our trip to Europe, we were set on buying a bidet for our bathroom. We wanted something nice and high quality so decided on the Boss Bidet! We're very happy with our decision! It cleans us up nice and has saved us a a lot of money on toilet paper! It pays for itself. Installation took less than 20 minutes. Just make sure you tighten all connections so it doesn't leak."
Budget Picks
#3 Astor Bidet CB-1000
Our budget pick for a bidet seat attachment is the Astor Bidet CB-1000, which we've taken a deeper look at before. Should the hygienic benefits of a bidet be held exclusively by expensive bidets or bidet toilet seats? Of course not. For under $30 you can get the cleanly benefits of a bidet at a fraction of the cost.
That's not to say that comes with a slight drawback. Firstly, The Astor Bidet CB-1000 is a single-nozzle, single control bidet. It only has rear-wash capabilities and has no cleaning option, although it is still a self-cleaning bidet just like any other. The only control dial is to activate the bidet and control pressure. But if you've ever used a bidet, sometimes that's all you need!
For those of you considering a bidet for the first time but are hesitant on spending more than $30 on a bidet, the CB-1000 is a great option. With little risk of overspending, the Astor Bidet CB-1000 is an excellent entry-level model for those who have never tried one.
See what others have said:
- fifthzepin: "I'm going to be honest, this is probably the best purchase I've ever bought on Amazon (and if you could see my order history, you'd be impressed by that statement)."
- Magician: "This little plastic wonder has been cleaning my tush now reliably for over 6 months. not many $26 gadgets these days can stay looking and working just as well 6 months into service as the first day they were put in service. I could not be happier with this purchase. In fact, I bought one for each bathroom in the house."
#4 Tibbers Home Bidet
The second budget pick on our list comes from Tibbers. This model is their baseline, no-frills model which operates similarly to our previous budget pick. Like the Astor Bidet CB-1000, this operates with one turn-dial, which controls the pressure of the single-nozzle bidet.
We really like the looks of the Tibbers Home Bidet. When it comes to bidets we can't always say look are most important, however, it's definitely something that stands out to us with this particular model. If you're going to add something to your bathroom, you want it to slot in like it has always existed there.
The Tibbers Home Bidet and Astor Bidet have a lot in common when it comes to price. Often a battle of just a few pennies sometimes, the Astor and Tibbers bidets tend to fluctuate between who has the better price-point at any given time.
Make no bones about it, though, the Tibbers Bidet and Astor Bidet are both fantastic low-end priced bidets that get the job done when you need it. Purchase with confidence!
See what others have said:
- Chris: "I chose this bidet because of the praise it gets and it seemed like a good value. It was. It comes in a box worthy of gift giving if your the kind of person who gives bidets to people. Installation was straightforward and easy."
- Nicholas: "I've been researching bidets for quite a while now, always hoping to have a cleaner behind and save some cash on the toilet paper we seem to use too much. After days of running ideas through my head, I landed on a handheld bidet to help ease the transition and use it for other purposes."
Best Of The Rest
#5 Zen Bidet Z-300
For our next choice we're going back to the dual-nozzle models, this time with the Zen Bidet Z-300. Zen Bidet has been entrenched in the bidet industry for some time and their Z-300 model is excellent for those seeking a bidet attachment for your toilet seat.
The look is universal in the sense it can fit most bathroom-scapes. It is a little bit gaudy with the grass and clouds, but it's easy to get over. If not, there are other models to choose from.
Functionality-wise, the Z-300 is great. Turn the large dial to the right for rear wash, left for front. The further you turn the dial, the greater the pressure. The smallest dial activates the self-cleaning action, which helps for those interested in cleaning before each use. Although, most bidets including the Z-300 self-clean after each use.
For another quality, dual-nozzle bidet attachment, feel free to try out the Z-300.
See what others have said:
- Jay: "This is a great product, it has a better stream that is less messy and a dial that makes flow adjustment super easy. It is obvious when you look at it and lift it that it is vastly superior to other similarly priced models. Considering the brass parts I doubt they are making much money on it at this price. I bought a 2nd one for another bathroom and may buy a 3rd for a weekend place. Now that I have experienced true cleanliness I would never want to live without one."
- Neil C: "Have been using this as a replacement for my Luxe Neo 180 bidet which broke after 2 years of service. I like this better than the Luxe as the dial operated flow control is easier to use than the lever based one. I also like that it is metal inside and the attachments are metal."
#6 Bio Bidet ELITE3
Bio Bidet is a long-standing bidet maker featuring everything from portable bidets, to toilet seat bidets and more. Here they crack our list with their ELITE3 dual nozzle attachment.
This UPC certified bidet has a nice, universal design that is a bit easier to install than other universal attachments. You'll easily be up and "bidet-ing" in just a few minutes time. The dual nozzles allow for rear and feminine washes and the activation dial is very easy to both use and control the pressure levels of your wash.
The silver brass flow false and stem is very high-quality and helps keep the ELITE3 in your bathroom for many, many years. Its reliability is likely the best on our list of the bidet attachments and has a defect rate of nearly 0% among their customers.
Bio Bidet is a name you can trust, definitely consider the ELITE3 as a bidet attachment for your toilet seat.
See what others have said:
- PaleoBabe: "Refreshing! After a few euro trips loving bidets, and my dad installing the most heavenly bidet seat with all the bells and whistles in his house – I knew I NEEDED not one, but two for myself."
- K.: "My husband bought this bidet on a whim and it has seriously changed our lives. I feel so much cleaner after using the bathroom now, and it definitely helps me feel more fresh while I'm on my period as well. My husband raves about it too! We both love it so much, we immediately bought one for our second bathroom."
#7 Superior Bidet Supreme
Our next bidet attachment for a toilet seat is one that features 3 control dials and is known as the Supreme by Superior Bidet. The three-dial control panel is actually quite nice because it doesn't merge multiple controls into one or two dials. The dial controls are separated as such from top to bottom: nozzle cleaning, front/rear wash, temperature control.
The looks of the Supreme bidet are solid, too. It's not gaudy, in fact next to the Boss Bidet BOLD, it's one of the better-looking bidets on our list. You should have no issue finding a bathroom to fit this into.
Lastly, it's again in rare company by offering warm water capabilities—if you have the ability to easily run a warm water hose to the bidet.

- Julie Lynch: "This is a fabulous product. Why didn't I have this before? I have never felt so clean. I've only had this for 3 wks, will update if it changes but for now I'm really happy with it. I was never happy w/ just toilet paper & have been spending a small fortune on wipes for years. Now one wipe is all I need."
- StereoBabe: "I stayed in Japan for 5 months. While there, I became a believer in the bidets. This product I found was easy to install, and works great. I highly recommend this product for personal hygiene. I am mechanically inclined and it literally took me 10 minutes to set up. Not only would I suggest this product to my friends, I suggested to you also."
#8 Jumbl BI-003
Jumbl is a coming you've probably not heard much about. They develop a number of different products ranging from automobile products to phone chargers. They also developed the BI-003 bidet attachment and found some success with it. The BI-003 is simple and straightforward to use, much like the others on our list and can handle any task you're setting out to accomplish. With rave reviews, including our own enjoyable experience, it was hard not to include the BI-003 on our list, hence why it's here on our list!
See what others have said:
- Narey: "This is a remarkable product to maintain and enrich personal hygiene. The product was received in excellent package."
- Jen Snider: "I bought this for my elderly father to help us take care of his bathroom needs. It really helps clean him better so we don't have to wipe him as much. He likes it also, he says he feels cleaner. I've used it also and love it. I'm planning on getting one for my own house. It definitely makes you feel fresher."
#9 Brondell FS-10 FreshSpa
This isn't the first time we've had Brondell on our list of top bidet products. Their GoSpa portable bidet is a popular choice among our writers and the FS-10 FreshSpa just couldn't be left off our list of bidet attachments. It is a no-frills bidet attachment but oftentimes that is all that's needed. But while it might be limited in the controls, the FS-10 has adjustable nozzle angels for reaching all those difficult areas. Whether at the 1, 2, or 3 position, you'll have flexibility and cleanliness wrapped up into one quality bidet.
See what others have said:
- Crossfit Dadoh: "Easy to hook up, easy to adjust the direction of the spray and easy to control the flow of water. A clean bottom with minimal fussing around! It also stays far cleaner than I thought it would (I imagined having to clean off the sprayer with some frequency). A solid buy."
- Saad: "We have 3 of these units now. Had two, in the other restrooms and they've held up great. I had one defective one from Home Depot which leaked, ended up returning it to Home Depot and buying from Amazon. Over a year and no issues so far with any of the three units."
#10 Bidet4Me MB-2000
The last option on our list is the BIDET4ME MB-2000. This value-focused bidet is typically found at incredible prices and has all the bells and whistles of the more expensive bidets. Of course, when you consider a bidet that is lower in price you should consider its durability and reliability but we found no such issues with the MB-2000. Things like the plastic water line are ways to help decrease that price while still giving you an excellent bidet and cleanliness experience. It has dual-nozzle capabilities, warm water (if you can hook it up) and a self-cleaning feature all rolled into one, usually less than $50 bidet.
See what others have said:
- jimmy: "This is a high quality bidet unlike other cheap brands. The water pressure is adequate and you feel very clean after using it. I am completely shocked that the people in America, the supposed to be the most advanced country on earth, still using toilette paper to clean their behind after doing number 2."
- Rod: "I bought the Luxe brand before this and this is a better bidet. The valves are better at controlling the water jets, more control of the water flow. The Luxe sprayers also started to get stuck after about 9 months, this has replaceable sprayers so if it happens again I can replace them. The valves in this bidet have click valves and seem to work well. The Luxe brand also started leaking from inside the case from using the sprayer cleaning button, hope this one holds up better. So far this is a great bidet."
Why use a bidet?
A no brainer here. There is no question that washing away fecal matter with water is better than smearing it in the same spot, especially for those prone to health issues related to fecal matter stuck to your rear.
Two questions for you the reader, at what point does fecal matter remnants left from toilet paper become unsanitary? If that were any other part of your body, would you wipe it away with a dry piece of tissue?
I don't think I need to answer but you get the point. Add that to the constant friction on your bottom and we get to another level of hygiene, health, and comfort.
Bidets and bidet attachments are easily more hygienic than standard toilet paper.
The amount of toilet paper you can save with a bidet attachment is quite remarkable. After using your bidet, all that is needed is a simple pat dry with some toilet paper.
No need to wipe…and wipe and wipe and wipe. I think we've all had those instances of the never-ending wipe. Instead, you use a fraction of the TP from the aforementioned method. That's also a lot less wear and tear on your rear.
How about the packaging that TP comes in as well? All that plastic consumption can be reduced by adding a bidet to your home toilet. Heck, you'll even be saving paper with the toilet paper roll itself. The TP cardboard roll is always wasted so any reduction here is a big benefit to savings and the environment.
Monetary Savings
Speaking of toilet paper, the dollar amount you can save on toilet paper alone is worth the cost of a bidet over the course of its lifetime. Any bidet attachment can save you hundreds on toilet paper expense while costing well below $100. Once the fecal matter is washed away, it's a simple wipe and you're all set. The extra cash is well worth the bidet by itself, let alone the extra positives that come into play.
Toilet Maintenance
Another area of savings is that your toilet's risk of clogging goes way down with the use of a bidet. Without the need to use copious amounts of TP if you're having a rough go, the chance of your toilet receiving a drain-clogging dose of toilet paper is slim to none. No more needing to wipe and wipe without uncertainty of if your toilet will handle it.
If your home is connected to a city sewer system or a bad septic tank, you also help prevent any mishaps here. Anyone dealing with poor waste plumbing should absolutely keep a bidet in mind.
I mean, how much more sophisticated can a toilet get with a bidet on it? A dedication to cleanliness on that level is certainly something we can respect and welcome the opportunity to do so. We would say it's the number one way to feel as clean as possible, even more so than a shower sometimes. And cleanliness is close to godliness, right?
Why you won't use a bidet?
Listen, I get it. It's weird and uncustomary. If you're an American, you're likely to have little or no experience with a bidet attachment. It's just not ingrained in the culture–yet. Go look up any YouTube video of someone using a bidet for the first time. Nearly all of them say it's a positive experience overall and some even say they'll never go back!
If people didn't love bidets, they wouldn't be so popular around the world.
Bidet Attachment Buying Guide
Factors To Consider When Choosing A Bidet Attachment
Water Pressure Adjustment
This is and should be a standard feature on most of bidet seat attachments. Even the most basic bidets have one feature and that is to adjust the water pressure. Not everyone is the same, especially first time bidet users. In order to give first timers and more welcoming sense to use the bidet, water pressure adjustment is a no-brainer.
Typical water adjustment knobs will be a low to high with a soft adjustment between each measurement. This means that at 75% rotation, the water is at 75% of max pressure. If you want to imagine how this works, think of a dam slowly opening it's doors open. The water flows through the bidet's valve at the "opening" amount you provide on the adjustment panel.
Hot/Cold Water
Now this is a feature that doesn't come standard on bidet attachments. Most of the bidet attachments on the market should have this feature but look closely if this is something you're focusing on in your search.
The lower end, cheaper bidets likely won't have this option and warm water can definitely be a more pleasant experience, that's for sure.
Bidets toilet seats, now that's another topic we'll get to in another review.
Most of the bidet seat attachment options on the market that have a warm water feature will need to be hooked up to your hot water source in your bathroom. This means that logistics will become an issue if your hot water supply and toilet are not close to one another. Bidet attachments have no way of heating any inbound water so it must enter warm in the first place. From there, the user can mix the hot/cold water to their desired level.
If a warm water bidet attachment won't work in your situation, you can always check out bidet seats which have heating capabilities within them. Bidet seats come in a few forms that allow a warm water option without needing a warm water hookup.
Front and Rear Cleaning Modes
The modern-day bidet is made for one thing–the posterior. So they're all going to have one. But one feature that is not so common among the bidet attachments is feminine or front cleaning mode.
As you can imagine, the feminine or frontal cleaning mode only does one thing different. Its jet is tilted forward slightly to easily cleanse the feminine area.
Bidet attachments that has front cleaning mode will definitely highlight the feature. If not, you can look at the control area of the bidet attachment and it should be obvious.
As you can see to the right, the middle knob controls "front" to the left and "rear" to the right. This particular bidet (Superior Bidet Supreme) also has the hot and cold water controls as well as the nozzle cleaning mode.
Which leads us to our next pointer.
This feature goes hand-in-hand with the pressure adjustment on any bidet attachment–it comes standard on nearly all bidets and bidet attachments. If the bidet you're looking at doesn't come with a self-cleaning mode, run and do it quickly. That's not a product you want to get your hands on, literally.
The self-cleaning mode keeps the best bidet attachment nozzles as clean as the can until a thorough clean is necessary. Some bidets use cold water only to self-clean, and others use only hot water. Everything else is in between.
Power Source Need
None. If you're getting a bidet attachment, there should be no electricity required and it should slot in right under your toilet seat.
All the pressure of the water comes from the water supply tube. From there, you are simply opening valves which transfer the water in the appropriate manner.
Some bidet seats may need a power source, but your bidet attachment should not.
Final Note and Insider Tip
The last thing you may want to consider, along with your bidet attachment, is a metal T-adapter. Most of the models on our list of the best bidet attachments come with a T-adapter but some are normally plastic.
Do yourself a favor and get a metal T-adapter outright and you won't regret it. This will give you a securer feeling about connection of your water supply, bidet, and toilet tank.
While there are many types of bidets, we're confident that one of these bidet attachments are sure to fit your budget, home, and preferences. But if you have any other thoughts, leave a comment below!

TRENTON — How old are the oldest rocks in New Jersey and where are they located? Perhaps these questions haven't exactly kept you up at night, but geologists have been wondering about them for a long time.
They know that the rocks in the mountains of North Jersey's Highlands, remnants of ancient Appalachian Mountains that at one time rivaled the Rockies in might, are the oldest in New Jersey. They also accept that these rocks are about a billion years old. But they never knew precisely how old — until now.
The New Jersey Geological Survey, within the Department of Environmental Protection, teamed up with the U.S. Geological Survey and the Australian National University in a project funded by private grants to provide the most precise dating ever of New Jersey's oldest rocks.

Casper, Wyoming is having SNOW. Casey Jones my Grand Dad.
Carl Fremont JONES, was the father of our Dad, Ray Dee Jones. Casey as he was called by most of his friends was the son of Calvin Fay JONES and Hannah Young JONES. Granddad Casey was from a very interesting family lineage. His lineage is as fascinating as his life was.
He had an awesome personality and his love shined through when he would stay with us and work with my younger siblings. Example: One day my brother Lucky was crying because something did not work right for him. He was about 7 years of age if I recall right. Being very upset. The tears came down in torrents. Granddad leapt out of his chair at the kitchen table, went quickly to the kitchen counter and grabbed a pint jar Mom had ready to use canning. He rushed to Lucky and said, " We got to catch them steers we can not let them get away." My brother was so startled he instantly stopped crying and asked Grandpa what he said. Being repeated, he told Grandpa they were tears. End of subject. No more tears (steers). I often wonder if my brother remembers this, he used to when we would be together and talk about our childhood.
Granddad had a great quick wit about him and a very compassionate heart if you let your self get to know him.
His early life was smooth but after he became a young adult his world went beserk. Granddad was
23 or near that age at his fathers death. (His father was a CW Veteran and lost his brother in same battle that nearly took him.)
We were told Carl had schooling abroad for being a Chef. When he came home he met a person he loved until the day he died. It created a horrible stir. { I have yet to learn how to prove his abroad schooling.} My Dad inherited his cooking knifes, no idea who took the knifes. I did not see them when we were separating items to share.
Due to having an Uncle(Charles JONES) take him with his sweetheart to Blue Mound, Min. for marriage in a horse and buggy. The fireworks began. Great Granddad was gone and the parents left alive of the married couple fought over who married beneath whom. They were disowned for a period of time which did not help them to succeed in life. I have always felt had their families supported them, many things would have been different. I spent hours talking to Granddad's children about what caused the break up and no make up.
I loved both my Grandparents and they both had unique personalities. Guess I will write about Grandma tomorrow.
Granddad Casey Jones worked on a cattle ranch when he came to Wheatland, Wyo, shortly after Dad was born in Iowa. They had no support in Iowa and a cousin had offered to give them a hand to get started in life in Wyo. I have the name of the ranch written down somewhere. Dad many years later worked for the same cattle ranch. It was a huge concern in Wyoming. As did my Dad's brother and other family members.
After Granddad and Grandmom split, things got very bad for the children and Casey would send clothes to the house for the children. They never got to wear anything sent by their father.
Life moved forward and lots of horrid things happened.
My Dad met my Mom and they married and moved to Greybull, Wyo.. later we moved to CA.
From small I remember Dad talking about his father often, quietly and softly wondering if he was okay and where was he. Dad was about 8 or 9 when the divorced happened and the neighbors helped the children to get to school, finally giving up on schooling Dad started working at the Swan Land and Cattle Co. Ranch. Granddad had been there also, then other things happened.
So by the time I was 10 we were on the road on weekends when time would permit or money for gas was available looking for Dad's Uncle Monte. He knew he had come to California, northern part.
Finally one day while at school Mother Superior came into class and asked for me. I had to pack up my books and we (Sis and I) were to meet Dad on the sidewalk as he came to pick us up and head home. She had gotten homework for a week and we learned of this afterwards.
When we got in the truck Dad was excited, someone had called him from Wyoming and found his father. He had not seen him since he was about 10 or so. We were on our way home to go to Wyoming to meet our Grandfather. My Dad was so excited and cried and laughed and we rushed through chores and the neighbors took over the ranch chores. Mom had that end under control.
(We went to school 30 minutes plus from home.)
We got to Wheatland and slept that night it was 18 hour run with Mom and Dad taking turns driving and a 5 hour stop in SLC to tell his Sis and get a few hours sleep. 23 hours total.
The next morning we were up early on the way to Casper, Wyoming. Mom was excited because she had an Aunt and Uncle that lived there also she would be able to see. It was pretty intense and exciting. We stated 3 days visiting with Mom's kin and Dad's father.
I remember getting near Casper and the oil smell was so strong. Dad drove down the street to the motel that my Granddad lived in. We parked, Dad got out and we all stayed in the truck. Granddad answered the door. Dad said who he was, Granddad said, " I know who you are, I have always watched you grow up and start a family". " Is your family with you?" Dad said," okay every body get out." We leapt out of the truck and we went to give our new found Grandfather a hug and Dad was in such tears, Mom was crying. I remember it sometimes like it was yesterday.
We got to know him those last few years he lived. He came to visit us and shared his unique humor with us. Shared many tips with Mom on cooking. Mom was thrilled with those tips. We got about ten years of sharing before he died after I had married and had children.
He worked as a ranch hand, horse trainer, sheepherder, chef, and other crafts that he could do to survive. When older his health was bad and he had pneumonia often.
He visited us as often as we could afford to have him come or we went to Wyo to see family.
Some of the horrid things that happened in his life I have left out for everyone's sake.
Hurt can cause horrible things to happen when one does not understand the cause.
Dad did reunite all his siblings with their Father. Being the oldest he remembered things that
they only partially recalled with slanted views. I spent many hours talking with my Uncle
who lived near me most my adult life about his parents and the family. I shared lots of conversations with my Aunt Bethel and Aunt Etta about family, and talked a small amount with Aunt Muriel
We lived and worked at Aunt Etta's early on in CA. Aunt Bethel's husband was military and we shared military life always since she was so close in age to me. We even shared a birth date of my second born and her last born. We were stationed near each other at times also. Aunt Muriel lived away more and I was an adult before I really got to know this Aunt. I cared for my Uncle (USN) through his cancer and death. Dad died in 1995 the first one to go.
Somewhere in trunk I have a whole page of Granddad's witty comments. Need to get the trunk unlocked.
The last thing Granddad said to me was; " I loved your Grandmother when I first met her and I will love her to my dying day," He was in bed with pneumonia July 1958. He died 12 March 1962.
He was born 10 October 1887 in Ia. Either in Blackhawk Co. or Chickasaw Co. His Mom lived in Chickasaw Co. and Grandma's parents were in Blackhawk Co.

I was wondering about the history of bowling the other day, so I did a little research. Bowling may not be the most popular sport, but it has been around a long time.
- Archaeologist discovered a primitive bowling ball and bowling pins in the grave of an Egyptian boy (dated around 3200 BCE).
- There is a lawn bowling site in South Hampton, England, which records show has been operational since 1299.
- In 1841, bowling became illegal in Connecticut, because it was associated with gambling and crime.
- The first indoor bowling alley in America, was built in 1840, in New York City.

Business Week Magazine, Reinventing Business
September 04, 2013 – By Caroline Winter.
There's something particularly alarming about counterfeit food and medicine. Knockoff pharmaceuticals have been found to contain chalk, brick dust, paint, pesticides, and even traces of human fetuses. The fakes, taken together with substandard meds, cause upwards of 100,000 deaths annually.
Luckily, rubbing out knockoff ingestibles may soon get easier. Honolulu-based startup TruTag Technologies this month brought to market edible bar codes that can be integrated directly into both edible and non-edible products. The so-called TruTags, which can be scanned to authenticate a product, are the size of a dust speck and thinner than a strand of hair. "A gram of TruTag microparticles contains over 12 million unique tags," says the company's president, Kent Mansfield.
TruTags are made entirely of silicon dioxide, also called silica, a compound that is inert, edible, and incredibly durable (with an infinite shelf life and the ability to survive temperatures up to 1,000C). To manufacture the minute tags, the company etches microscopic bar codes into silica wafers using equipment similar to the semiconductor industry's. The engraved wafers are then ground into a white powder that can be mixed directly into foodstuffs like baby formula or incorporated into the coatings of pills. Even non-edible goods—car parts and cell phone components—could make use of the safe-to-eat tags.
Once items are marked with a few specks of the coded dust, companies use special scanners to send decoded information to iPads or iPhones, revealing details like where and when the product was manufactured.
TruTags, named a 2014 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, developed its technology with funding from the accelerator Skai Ventures and research money from the U.S. military. Mansfield says the company is already in discussion with several corporations, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, but he declined to disclose names or discuss prices. The potential market is, of course, huge: Counterfeit goods siphon off $1 trillion annually from the global economy, according to the International Chamber of Commerce. Counterfeit drugs alone generated an estimated $75 billion in revenue in 2010.
If all goes well, TruTag plans to make its technology available at the consumer level. "We could actually incorporate our technology into a smartphone," says Mansfield. "That way, any consumer, whether they want to authenticate their own drugs or baby milk powder, they'll be able to do that by themselves. That's our ultimate goal."
Still, TruTag must compete with a host of other anti-counterfeiting technologies—one rival is using plant-based DNA, for example—and contend with the shifting tactics of the ever-tenacious counterfeiters. "Whatever technology is invented to stop it, the counterfeiters have the motivation, money, and the technology themselves to come up with a way to work around it," writes Don Aviv, COO of security
consulting company Interfor. "If nothing else, the sheer variety of technologies that are being employed at the moment may prove to be more effective at slowing the counterfeiters than any one solution."

Direct Mail
If you think that direct mail no longer is a viable method of lead generation, we'd like to offer a different perspective. Sure, digital marketing has gained popularity due to lower costs and faster tracking ability. But poorly-run campaigns can run into issues; bad lists, oversaturation and opt-outs. Direct mail can—and does—have a big impact on lead generation and relationship building. The key to successful DM campaigns is to understand the communication methods that work, and to create messaging and design that resonates with your target audience.
We're going to need a bigger envelope.
A successful direct mail campaign requires more than personalized messaging and a big list. It takes the right list, targeting the right prospects. It also takes good-looking creative and smart, relatable copy. ResponsePoint uses an end-to-end approach to ensure clear communication, stunning visuals, and potent language that gets results. We roll all of that up with a high-functioning response protocol for fast, accurate lead follow through.
We understand the power of being direct.

Done well, direct mail can be a large contributor to the success of your lead generation efforts, and to the improvement of your ROI.

Sometimes doing this ViewSource thing I found some funny comments in HTML comments, or as I recently saw, a funny HTTP header. They're funny to me because only developers or developer-inclined people will see it. Maybe we as developers have some localized sense of humor about code comments, check one of the best code comments out there, but they might not be as "open" as ones in HTML or HTTP Headers.
Here are some of my favorites:

Azure Management Portal: HTML Comment
Well, I do think the Azure management portal is an awesome app, but that's another teke for another day.
(Update) Twilio Terms of Service.
This clause 19 of the terms of service located at https://www.twilio.com/legal/tos
This is not "hidden" in code per se, but it's definitely hidden to most people who never read the term of service. The relevant header for this post is:
Very funny but the one in terms of service one wins over this one.
Have you seeing any other hidden ones? send it to update this list or leave it in the comments.

So now after another tragic shooting in Toronto of innocent victims, and ongoing gunfire in Vancouver, there are organizations coming out of the woodwork looking for government money for 'education' of youth. Most of the recent shootings are credited to youth gangs, for whatever reason. It seems it used to be about violent drug dealers vying for territory, but lately, it has filtered down to teenagers. Carrying lethal weapons for 'prestige' and the envy of their friends. The police and politicians' answers are usually the same - we have to control these weapons and educate our youth.
A recent poll on the web gave several alternatives to how to control illegal handguns, asking normal people what to do ... the number one answer was overwhelming - long hard sentences.
If someone walks into a store to rob it with a handgun, or shoots at someone in the street, or drives by a home spraying it with bullets, the sentence needs to be taken OUT of the hands of our wimpy sympathetic judges, who just made a decision to continue to allow criminals in jail to still vote. There should be a mandatory ten years in jail. No parol, no good behavior time off, no soft core holiday resort sentencing, no alternative cop-outs by judges who need to begin answering to the people of Canada instead of their own agenda.
And going around giving money to youth organizations to tell youth that is it wrong to shoot someone is just plain stupid and silly.
Telling youth or anyone else, that they'll go to jail for TEN YEARS for shooting at someone, and then backing it up with a minimum sentence, will send a loud and clear message to the ones who need it.
All we need to do is pass the law, advise the people that that's what it now is, tell the judges that they MUST enforce the minimum sentence, and then DO IT! That's all we need. If it requires changing our constitution, do it. You must lose your rights when you become a criminal.
The first young gang member who gets his ten year sentence, will do the job for thousands of others. No billion dollar gun control program needed.
Now all we need are politicians with the guts to protect the law abiding citizens of Canada. Are they out there?
Who knows.
caterwauls are my screams in the night from the back fence, aimed at the inequitable situations in our present society and the ridiculousness of life's paths........ With a little silliness too . . . for sanity.

Maybe someone should ask all the party leaders, if they would change the law as an election promise.ReplyDelete
Then our pussy judges would have to follow through, or be fired. Lets pass a law that not only senators have to be elected but judges as well.Ten years sounds good to me for a first offence.
