Some of you may have seen my Facebook posts in the last few weeks asking for advice on how to rid my diapers of ammonia issues. I am usually the one giving diaper advice and I truly thank those of you who responded for your help!
I started my cloth diaper journey more than a year ago. At that time I researched the heck out of detergents and I finally settled on Tiny Bubbles made by GroVia as the detergent I wanted to use. I have a front loading HE washer and it was important to me to purchase a detergent proven to do well with this type of machine, one that has been proven to work well on the diapers, and one that is safe for the diapers as well as my baby's bum! I probably researched 100's of different sites, blogs, forums, reviews, etc before deciding on Tiny Bubbles.
When my first batch of diapers and detergent finally arrived, I washed them and immediately got them on my LO's bum! Love at first diaper! <3
We diapered for almost 8 months before I even thought about trying another detergent. I promised myself that if I found one that worked, I would stick with it. But curiosity got the best of me, and I have tried and reviewed multiple other detergents. I have not found any that I would not recommend. And I want to state for the record, I do not regret trying other detergents nor do I want to cast a negative outlook on other detergents. But, this is my experience, and I want to be honest with what I have found and what I have found to work in an effort to help other mamas and their baby's bums! (because who wants their child to have the dreaded ammonia burnt tush?)
Since entering the cloth diapering world, I have heard many things (mostly good) about Rockin Green. I had been dying to try RNG and so I bought a bag of detergent with my own money. I fell in love! The scents are heavenly, the company is fantastic, and their product is amazing! But after using RNG for about 3 months, I started noticing ammonia build up on my diapers. I researched online and found that it could have been one of two things: ammonia build up or detergent build up. The advice was that extra hot rinses "should" cure either of those problems.
I thought, "perfect" that is simple enough. And I ran my diapers through about 4-5 hot rinses with no detergent or anything. NOPE! No cigar! My diapers were still stinky and ammonia filled. Back to research.
I tried rocking a soak, I tried letting them soak in plain water. Nothing helped. I felt at the end of my rope. At this point, I could only cloth diaper during the day and had to use sposies at night because she could not sit in an ammonia ridden diaper all night. We had multiple ammonia burns and rashes during this time. Talk about frazzled...I hated that I was bringing this pain and discomfort to my child. Cloth diapers are supposed to be healthier right??? They are! But I was having such a big ammonia problem that I felt like a BAD mommy!
In comes you mamas! After talking with you guys on FB, some more internet research, etc I decided it was time to take drastic measures. The options were vinegar or bleach. I have read 50/50 results on vinegar, so I was too scared to try this. But, Cotton Babies (makers of bumGenius, Flip, and Econobum) state that it is OK to use a little bit of bleach once in a while to kill stinkies. WARNING: Most diaper companies state specifically NOT to use bleach on your diapers, so check labels before doing this! But Cotton Babies say that it is OK for the bG diapers to have some bleach now and then.
So, knowing that I would void many warranties on many different diapers, I tried the bleach on just my bG pockets and all of my microfiber inserts. I tossed in my diapers, did the cold cycle, then did my hot wash with 1/2 of the RNG that I usually use (in case too much detergent was the problem) and the bleach. After the long hot cycle, I did another hot cycle.
And the result...STILL STINKY and ammonia filled.
At this point, I could have just sat down and cried. What am I going to do!!!???
It was about this time that my daughter's lovie, a little stuffed red panda bear, needed to have his first bath. When mommy wasn't looking, daddy let her drag panda outside where he took a dip in the pool and the sandbox and got drug through the dirt and grime of the backyard. After months of drool, food, and now the latest dunk and drag...he needed a bath. Trying to think what to wash him in that would be gentle and safe, I pulled out my box of Tiny Bubbles detergent. I washed him and set him to dry...and it dawned on me...I never had ANY stink problems with the Tiny Bubbles when I was using it on my diapers!!!
So over the past couple weeks, I have slowly washed all of my diapers (clean and dirty to get all of them!) in the Tiny Bubbles and bleach.
Whether they were clean or dirty, I did my wash as usual. I did the cold rinse, then a hot wash with Tiny Bubbles and a little bit of bleach, and then another hot wash. I only used bleach in that first wash (and yes, I did run EVERY diaper and EVERY insert through this process...voiding many warranties) and since then have washed my diapers in just Tiny Bubbles detergent.
Guess what...NO AMMONIA!!!! I could literally shout it from the mountaintops!!! And sing a round of the Hallelujah Chorus on top of that!!!
I still do not know exactly what was causing my problem. Is it the HE washer, my water, the RNG itself, using too much RNG, or a combination of any of them? No clue! I have heard from other parents some troubles with RNG. But again, is it the RNG or user error? I followed the package directions for how much RNG to use with an HE washer, but maybe it was still too much? I don't know. Like I said before, I do not want to speak ill of RNG. I love their company and their products. BUT, for us, RNG just does not work.
So this is what I have found. And thankfully, I have found an answer to my problem! I am still a little nervous about night time diapering. I am slowly easing back into it. But I cannot wait to chuck those sposies to the wind! (actually, I will give them to a friend who refuses to CD...I won't throw away clean sposies...)
I hope this post can help some of you other mamas out there! Don't give up! There is a way! You just have to find what works for you!!!
For those of you with HE machines, here is my wash routine. I have a Samsung VRT machine. Do not use the "sanitize" setting. This will damage the PUL on your diapers. I use the "delicate" cycle (cold/cold) and an extra rinse as my cold cycle. Then, for my detergent cycle I use the "heavy duty" cycle (hot/cold) with an extra wash and an extra rinse. Hope this helps!!!
Tiny Bubbles can be purchased from my affiliates Kelly's Closet and GroVia, affiliate links to right!!!

It's not that easy to find vegetarian-friendly (let alone vegan-friendly) Mexican food; between lard in the refried beans and chicken stock in the rice or green chile, there's no telling what animal products might be lurking in the foods you order. That's why we just love places like Tarasco's New Latin Cuisine, which has an entire page devoted to vegetarian options, many of them vegan-friendly, too. It's nice to be spoiled with so many choices when you're used to being limited to one or two dishes...and the food is so inexpensive, you can order three or four items for what you might pay for one elsewhere.
See also: - Jack-n-Grill's green isn't vegetarian, but other dishes will grow on you - El Senor Sol mixes up Mexican meals for vegetarians and vegans - Old Blinking Light takes plant-based eaters south of the border
Tarasco's is in a strip mall on Federal Boulevard -- extra points for authenticity -- and the small space is always packed during peak mealtimes. On the walls are strips of wood with thought-provoking philosophical questions and statements in Spanish, and if you're lucky enough to score one of the ten or so tables in the venue, you might be able to see one of the televisions -- which will probably be playing a soccer game or telenovela.
But the atmosphere is secondary to the food. And you'll have your work cut out for you deciding what you want on the pull-out vegetarian menu (which is ringed with the names of famous vegetarians). Breakfast items include huevos rancheros; there are also appetizers, salads and full entrees, like the flautas papas plate (pictured above), which consists of four corn tortillas filled with potato, then rolled, fried and served with fresh cheese, sour cream, red and green salsas and rice and beans. (This can be ordered vegan, if you prefer.) It's a lot to eat, but once you start, you'll have trouble stopping -- because it's just that good.
Tarasco's also offers grilled cactus, which can be ordered as an appetizer (pictured above) or as part of a plate. This is about as close to a steak as a plant-based eater can get without resorting to processed soy. It arrives perfectly grilled and still warm on a slab of wood; the portion is large, so if you have entrees still on the way, plan to take some home. If you're looking for something lighter, the sopa tarasca -- described on the menu as a traditional bean soup from Michoacan -- is vegan (without the cheese and cream on top, of course) and totally amazing. Fresh slices of corn tortilla are bathed in a savory broth that's so delectable you might be tempted to drink from the bowl.

DONOR SELECTION28-Sep-2009
Obviously the most important thing necessary for your involvement in embryo transfer is selection of your donor female. In my opinion, the best donor from a productive standpoint is a 3-8 year old cow in production that has calved 60-90 days. Of course for the producer, it is best to identify cows that excel in some aspect for your situation whether that be phenotype, exceptional epd's, show career, etc. You need to propagate a potentially marketable product.
Of course that is the ideal situation. Many of the animals we are presented to enroll in an embryo transfer program are not ideal. Expect results to be potentially less rewarding as the "strikes" against the donor female increase. By strikes, I mean age (virgin heifers and old cows), injury (stifle injuries most common), reproductive problems (non-breeders, calving injuries, adhesions both ovarian and uterine). Does that mean they won't work? Not at all but expectations should be less for these particular animals.

The power that nostalgia holds over me was palpable Saturday as I parked my truck in the New Britain Stadium press lot.
For 15 years, I covered the New Britain Rock Cats like they were a major-league team. For the better part of 40 years, I was active as either an administrator or a sports writer in the ballparks of the Eastern League. I watched the Double-A circuit graduate from small, dingy ballparks in smaller towns or in the seedy section of cities to the grand palaces like New Britain Stadium, where a family can enjoy a night of merriment without any concern for safety, without spending a fortune.
Everything looked just as I had left it. Former co-owner/president/general manager Bill Dowling, who will go down in history as the founding father of the state's most successful professional sports franchise to date, was conspicuous by his absence. Dowling, supremely dedicated to his patrons, was a fixture in the portal from the concourse to the first-base side of home plate. He remains a consultant, but only attends games occasionally. His contribution to the welfare of New Britain must never be overlooked.
Who better to replace Dowling in the GM's chair than John Willi, his disciple for nearly a decade? Willi left the team for a year, but returns with the Dowlingesque passion for the fan and the community.
The weather is spectacular. The Rock Cats, two years removed from the embarrassment of a 44-98 season in 2010, are playing representative baseball. Manager Jeff Smith, one of the most popular players during his playing days in New Britain, guides the young Minnesota Twins protégés with a firm but friendly hand. His wife Ronna and young sons Cutter and Cooper have become part of the culture. The boys can't wait to don their gloves. They worked on their double-play turn around the keystone bag after the teams hit the showers.
The grandstands are packed. The Rock Cats announce their ninth sellout of the season and second in two days. Summer weekends that attract over 20,000 people to the city have become the norm. Here's a comparative statistic to chew on a spell: the 1988 New Britain Red Sox drew under 80,000 to outmoded Beehive Field, which stands next door.
People congregate in front of the stadium dubbed "The Emerald of the Eastern League" because of its distinctive green façade. A band plays familiar tunes. People line up at the ticket windows and gleefully distribute their bounty to families and friends, anticipating a relaxing evening where the kids can safely romp in a well-supervised playground, cold adult beverages flow freely and the enticing aroma of barbecuing meats satiate the air.
Just like I hadn't missed a day, I greet some familiar people and make my way to my former auxiliary office, the press box. Radio announcer Jeff Dooley flashes by as he prepares for his broadcast. Venerable scoreboard operator Larry Michaels has seen almost as many innings in Willow Brook Park as Vin Scully has in Dodger Stadium.
A new group of youngsters, determined to forge careers in professional baseball, buzz around in every capacity of support. As Willi notes, he has seen groups of dedicated employees come and go. His new management group took the reins at a late date in terms of season preparation and his roster underwent more sweeping change, but newcomers like media assistant Patrick O'Sullivan and box office manager Josh Montinieri blend magnificently with the "old guard" – behind-the-scenes stalwarts like community relations mavens Lori Soltys and Amy Helbling.
The relationship between the Rock Cats and Twins continues to prosper fruitfully.
The Twins have fallen on some hard times in terms of player development and their resultant standing in the American League Central Division. The flow of high-level prospects moving through like Torii Hunter (1996-98), Joe Mauer (2003), Justin Morneau (2001-03), Michael Cuddyer (2000-01), Jason Kubel (2004) and more recently Denard Span (2005-06), has slowed to a trickle.
The Twins rely heavily on player development. They are reluctant to engage in the high-priced free agent derby, and painfully have been unable to lock up their own. Cuddyer and Kubel rejected the team's advances over last winter and signed with Colorado and Arizona respectively. Consequently, the Twins put a heavy emphasis on what happens in New Britain and management is almost always represented at Rock Cats games.
I am fortunate that my visit coincides with that of long-time friend Bill Smith. Bill Smith and I go back to the early 1980s when I was general manager of the White Sox' Double-A team and he was in the same slot at Class A Appleton, Wisc.
Bill was presented the opportunity to become the Twins' general manager when his decorated predecessor Terry Ryan opted to focus more on the scouting end of the business. Like so many GMs, Bill was relieved of his duties, but his deep loyalty to the Twins, and theirs to him, has him back in a consulting position. He's a New Hampshire boy by birth, but grew up in Ledyard where he still has family. Talking baseball with Bill Smith is like talking religion with an archbishop.
The most uplifting facet of the evening was reconnecting with former Rock Cats manager Riccardo Ingram (2006-07).
The good-natured, always positive Ingram faced his own mortality when he was confronted with a cancerous brain tumor in the summer of 2008. He sports a significant scar on the top of his head, but his faith through the whole ordeal was unshakeable. He is in good health and commutes between New Britain and Triple-A Rochester as a minor league hitting instructor.
Pitching coach Stu Cliburn is in his 11th season in New Britain, qualifying him as an adopted son. He spent a couple seasons (2006-08) in Triple-A Rochester when his twin brother Stan (Rock Cats manager from 2001-05) was managing the Red Wings, but like the prodigal son, he returned to his familiar post in the New Britain bullpen.
One of my goals in life is to sit through a game on television – a time when Stu isn't working – to have him evaluate and analyze the art to which he's dedicated his life. There is so much about pitching that even the most avid baseball enthusiast (and so many baseball writers) don't comprehend.
The game moves forward. The Rock Cats, leaders in the Eastern Division for a large chunk of April and May, show a disturbing trend of failing to hit in the clutch, the plague of so many slumping ballclubs. They drop a 4-1 decision to the Erie Seawolves and fall closer to the .500 mark.Jeff Smith can't offer an explanation. A multitude of Hall-of-Fame managers before him couldn't either. The nuances of a game played daily are that fortunes rise and fall, just like everything else that contains a human fingerprint. The constants – symmetry, tradition and color – are reasons why I'll shed the depression of not having it as a daily routine and continue going back for reinvigoration.

The California Highway Patrol swooped down from a helicopter to rescue a man described as "highly intoxicated" who fell from rocks and hit his head at Stinson Beach.
The CHP said the 20-year-old Concord man had fallen about 7:10 p.m. on Tuesday and was "combative" with firefighters who tried to help him.
The Marin County Sheriff's Office and the National Parks Service asked for help, and a CHP helicopter was sent to hoist him up from the beach where he had landed on "impassable terrain." The chopper crew took some video of the rescue.
The man fell unconscious and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, the CHP said. He was also arrested, though the CHP didn't specify the exact charges.

Your new movie The
Devil of Kreuzberg - in a few words, what is it about?
It's like a modern-day Jean Rollin film.
I have
written about The
Devil of Kreuzberg that it "seems like a film misplaced in
time, it's highly reminiscent of genre cinema of the 1970s and 80s" -
a comment you can at all live with and your thoughts on this?
That's a very fitting description. Films from the 1970s and 1980s are
the most inspirational. If I have to choose between watching a film that's
just come out or an obscure 1970s film, I go for the latter. Contemporary
films are too cold, I find. There are however, some brave DIY homemade
epics emerging that show there's still some hope for independent cinema.
How would you describe your
directorial approach to your subject at hand?
I didn't really have the opportunity to direct much, as it was such a
tight guerrilla
shoot. We'd run in, grab the most basic shots possible and move on. There
really was no time for anything else. Two-three takes, that's it. When
you've got bagfuls of gear to carry your directorial approach tends to be
of least hassle.
can you tell us about your writer Pippo Schund, and what was your
collaboration like?
Pippo and I go back a few years. He's a screenwriter and journalist. He
also made a film called Tollwut from his own screenplay. We first
collaborated on a short film Zärtlichkeit, which we co-wrote and acted in
together. It's a downbeat relationship movie inspired by the cinema of
Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Pippo is largely responsible for the fact that
I'm still an active filmmaker. Last time I saw him in Berlin, I was full
of negativity and told him I was quitting the whole movie thing. Later
that night we went to a cinema to watch Strange Colour of Your Body's
Tears. The film sort of gave us a headache, but some of it was also
So much so that a couple of days later Pippo sent me a new screenplay. I
got really fired up and made it into The
Devil of Kreuzberg. Pippo is a
Süleyman Yüceer, Sandra Bourdonnec
did the project fall together in the first place?
By chance
I ran into members of a kinocabaret cell at the Loophole bar in Berlin,
and their organiser, who now goes by the name of Ross Indecency, has
challenged me to make a movie in a month. It's their thing: you announce a
project, ask other members
to be in your film and help you with equipment, and in four weeks you have
to bring your film, no matter how rough and incomplete that may look. So I
took the challenge and in return cast Ross in the lead role.
think your film's musical score is one of its key elements - so do talk
about the music used in your movie for a bit, and were these all
pre-exisiting tunes or were they composed for The
Devil of Kreuzberg?
No music was composed specifically
for the film. I approached the Italian horror electronics act Spettro
Family about using some of their tracks and was lucky to get some of their
best tunes. The
Devil of Kreuzberg is also scored with tracks from my
regular collaborator Alex FLE Zhemchuzhnikov, and his various bands and
projects. Music is the most amazing thing in the world, and I like to give
music plenty of room in my films.
Ross Indecency
What can you tell us about
your key cast, and why exactly these people?
I've met
Sandra Bourdonnec, Süleyman Yüceer and Ross Indecency in a bar. I loved
Süleyman's look, he reminded me of a young Abel Ferrara and I immediately
approached him to be in the film. Sandra Bourdonnec is a singer and an actress. Miguel Sepreny, the DoP,
also has a small part in the film. The guys trusted my vision and stuck
with me until the end, they made the film possible.
Do talk
about the shoot as such for a bit, and the on-set atmosphere!
There was a bit of a money shortage. Like we didn't actually have a
printed hard copy of the screenplay. It was either reading off your
mobile phone screen or writing by hand, cause printing stuff costs
money and that's something we didn't have.
We had 16 shooting days spread over three or four weeks. These
weren't all full shooting days, more like afternoons. I remember being
quite hungry. Twice a week I'd go to Real and would buy 7 or 10 Euros
worth of their own brand food. You know, the cheapest I could get:
some pasta, bread, eggs, tinned veg, a carton of milk. I remember
buying the cheapest biscuits I could get
for snacks and brewing the same teabag more than once. Thank god
Berlin tap water is potable, or else I don't know how I would have
survived. I remember living off my friends/lead actors. At least once
a week I'd pop round to see Ross and eat whatever was in his fridge
and another time my DoP Miguel would buy me a beer and Sandra would
often invite us over and treat to something substantial. Everyone from
Ralph the sound-man
to Sofia the actress would feed me. I remember falling progressively
ill, being feverish and sleeping 4 hours every two days. I remember
the rain. It would rain whenever we had exterior shoots scheduled. We
also had a massive storm/hurricane which made us retreat underground
and shoot inside
the Metro station while stuff was getting blown about on the surface.
I remember making crude storyboards and writing additional scenes
while riding the Metro to the next location. I remember being switched
on and in-the-moment at all times, which made those 16 days seem like
a lifetime.
can you tell us about critical and audience reception of your movie so
Well, not many people have seen The
Devil of Kreuzberg. It's not been
properly released yet.
But I have people asking me when it's out on DVD, so that's the best
possible reaction.
Any future projects you'd like to share?
I'm working with Carnie Films on a DVD release of The
Devil of Kreuzberg. Compliling extras for the DVD, which is due out in September
2015. We're making just a handful of copies, this release comes with
some short films and a behind-the-scenes featurette as extras.
got you into filmmaking in the first place, and did you receive any formal
training on the subject?
I worked as production assistant on a bunch of no-budget horror films
before making my own. I have no formal training.
What can you tell us about your
filmwork prior to The
Devil of Kreuzberg?
I made a short film Bittersweet
and a medium-length film Naked Trip. I also appeared in bit parts
in some DIY films, usually the ones where I was otherwise involved as
production person or writer.
You have made movies in the
UK, Russia, Germany - so how do filmmaking conditions and filmsets compare
in those countries?
If you find creative people who're on

The author of "The Happiness Project" says she "can't bear any book with the theme of unjust accusation — no 'Atonement,' 'The Count of Monte Cristo' or 'Othello' for me."
What books are on your night stand now?
My night stand is always crowded. Right now it boasts Willa Cather's "My Ántonia" (which somehow I've never read); Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi" (ditto); Rohinton Mistry's "A Fine Balance"; Ben Fountain's "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"; Georgette Heyer's "The Grand Sophy"; John Gage's "Color and Culture"; Haruki Murakami's "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage"; and Elena Ferrante's "The Story of a New Name." I love to reread, so my night stand also holds Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Essential Writings," Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight Club" and Laurie Colwin's "Home Cooking." Plus I'm a huge fan of children's literature, so I've got Lois Lowry's "Anastasia Krupnik" and Margaret Mahy's "Alchemy."
What's the last great book you read?
I recently reread Marilynne Robinson's extraordinary novel "Gilead." A beautiful, beautiful book.
Who is your dream author-guest on your podcast, "Happier With Gretchen Rubin"?
Easy! J. K. Rowling. I've read the Harry Potter books many times; listened to the audiobooks; watched the movies; and on a recent trip to London, took the Warner Bros. Studio Tour and saw the new play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The genius of Rowling's creation astonishes me — the extraordinary world she's made, so packed with memorable characters, situations, devices, spells, slang and institutions.
What's the last book that made you laugh?
Francis Galton's "Memories of My Life" isn't intended to be funny, but I laughed out loud at his solemn observation of visiting an excavation in Egypt: "Our host and hostess were peculiarly independent of ordinary comfort, but the consumption of marmalade at their table was enormous." The last book that purposely made me laugh was Stella Gibbons's "Cold Comfort Farm."
What genres do you especially enjoy reading? And which do you avoid?
I particularly enjoy fiction — adult fiction, children's and young adult fiction (I'm in three children's literature book groups), science fiction, fantasy; and also nonfiction — particularly memoirs, biography, and books about science, history and art (recently I've become obsessed by color). I avoid mysteries, thrillers and, I'm sorry to admit, books about policy or economics. And for some reason, I can't bear any book with the theme of unjust accusation — no "Atonement," "The Count of Monte Cristo" or "Othello" for me.
How do you like to read? Paper or electronic? One book at a time or simultaneously? Morning or night?
When I travel, I take an e-reader; nothing terrifies me more than the prospect of being stuck on an airplane with nothing good to read. But whenever possible, I read a paper book. I enjoy the book more, and I remember it better.
Growing up, I read one book at a time, and I was conscientious about not buying new books until I'd finished my current stack. But my husband's habit of simultaneously reading several books, and recklessly buying books, has rubbed off on me.
How do you organize your books?
Fiction A-M fills the bedroom, and N-Z continues in the living room, which also houses biography and nonfiction. I have bookshelves for my subject areas: Winston Churchill, John Kennedy, happiness, and habits. My children's and young adult books go in the library. I'm enchanted by odd structures, so some shelves hold my collection of unusual books — like Michael Lesy's "Wisconsin Death Trip"; Edward Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" (terrible title, great book); Lisa Birnbach's "The Official Preppy Handbook"; Leanne Shapton's "Important Artifacts and Personal Property"; Edward Luttwak's "Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook"; and one of my favorites, "A Pattern Language," by Christopher Alexander and others.
What book might people be surprised to find on your shelves?
Linda Goodman's "Sun Signs." I'm writing a book about the Four Tendencies, a personality framework that I created, and an astrology-loving friend recommended that I study the book for its structure.
What's the best book you've ever received as a gift?
When I was 8 years old, my uncle gave me a blank book — a beautifully bound book with blank pages. Now these books are sold everywhere, but at the time, I'd never seen anything like it. It filled me with the desire to write my own book.
What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?
I read everything. How to pick just a few? Edward Eager; Elizabeth Enright; C. S. Lewis; Louisa May Alcott; Hans Christian Andersen; Zilpha Keatley Snyder; J. R. R. Tolkien; E. L. Konigsburg; Roald Dahl; Frances Hodgson Burnett; Judy Blume; Robert O'Brien; Susan Cooper; L. M. Montgomery; Madeleine L'Engle; Kate Seredy; Betty MacDonald; Robin McKinley; L. Frank Baum; E. B. White; Ursula Le Guin; E. Nesbit; Mary Stolz; Noel Streatfeild; and of course, Laura Ingalls Wilder. "Little House in the Big Woods" is the first book that I can remember reading to myself.
You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?
Surely one invited guest wouldn't be able to attend, so I'd invite Samuel Johnson, Virginia Woolf, George Orwell and Flannery O'Connor. These are four authors whose work I love, and also the four from whom I learn the most, in my own writing. I study their work frequently (in all humility), and I'd love to try to get them talking shop amongst themselves, so I could sit in the corner and take notes.
Disappointing, overrated, just not good: What book did you feel you were supposed to like, and didn't? Do you remember the last book you put down without finishing?
For years, I believed that if I started a book, I should finish it, but a few years ago I decided to quit reading if I lost interest. As a consequence, I frequently don't finish books — which gives me much more time to read books that I enjoy. I don't want to supply the titles of any unfinished books, however. As a writer myself, I know how much work and love goes into every book.

George Conger writes on an controversial case that is has it foundation some horrific things your would expect just too see on the TV Show Criminal Minds. See Forgiving monsters: The Dutroux Case
As he points out this is one of the most notorious criminal cases in Modern European history and with good reason.
What I find interesting , and it is a point he has touched on recently as to UK papers, is how the diversity of European press advocacy seems to work.
Ideology plays its part in the coverage of this story. Self-identified Catholic newspapers have stressed the theme of penitence and redemption. Some secular newspapers have objected to the intrusion of Catholic sensibilities into the parole of a "monster", but others have advanced ethical theories of crime and punishment. No one newspaper encompasses all of these views, but collectively the debate over the parole of Michelle Martin is an example of the best of the European press.
It would be nice to have that as to the press in the USA and perhaps it would work. It seems as to the Newsprint crowd here that does not happen partly because there is no opposing paper of close relevance . Thus no intelligent engagement that the reader can grapple with can happen.

Belgium Nuns Takes In Accomplice To Horrific Pedophile and Killer - Controversy and European Press
George Conger writes on an controversial case that is has it foundation some horrific things your would expect just too see on the TV Show Criminal Minds. See Forgiving monsters: The Dutroux Case

I have no problem with a pedophile monster being forgiven, and no problem with people teaching religious repentence and redemption. But if the Catholics want to minister to pedophiles, they can go to the prisons to minister to them, not make them out to be "priests" and cover up their crimes, when their crimes begin in come to light in one place, move them to another place to have access to whole new community of children to rape. All that would have ever been necessary is for every person who knows about a child being sexually abused to simply pick up the phone and report to the proper authorities. But the Catholic church, from the housekeepers to the popes have steadfastly covered up these crimes for at least the past century. For a family to take their children to a Catholic church is like thowing them to the wolves. And this is the caliber of people who are trying to take control over the rest of us in the political arena.

I certaintly think mistakes have been made in the past. Horrid ones. But I think the Church right now is actually one of the safest place for kids to be at this point after the reforms and the reforms continue.
The Catholic Church is something that in many ways represents how this was viewed and handled in many more facets of Society than the Church
- August 3, 2012 at 7:11 AM
I was just reading an article about the 280 (so-far) Blackfeet Indians in Montana who have acknowledged that they were sexually abused/molested/raped as children in Catholic schools and orphanages. The Catholic heirarchy in Helena have been enabling this and covering it up since the 1940s. The Catholic church is a highly organized pedophile mafia. I want to know if my own grandfather was raped by the Catholics when his father had put him in a Catholic boarding school from circa 1898 until he escaped from them circa 1906. After my great grandmother died when he was eight years old, his father felt that he could not maintain a home for him, and put him there for some reason even though their religion was Methodist. No man of his generation ever acknowleged being molested or raped. And I don't think the term "child abuse" was even in the lexicon back then. All my grandfather ever said was that they were very mean to the children, and he made up his mind that he would tolerate it until he was 16, and then he would run away, because he had known people who made it on their own at the age of 16. He had to climb over a wall as though it were a prison, and he went to the docks at Mobile, and went to work as a merchant marine. For the rest of his life he was proud that he had the gumption to escape from the Catholics. After my grandparents were married and settled in Texas, he was reconciled with my great grandfather who was repentant for the rest of his life that he had put his son in a Catholic boarding school. After all that has come to light in this era, I want to know if sexual abuse was the problem, but everybody is dead now, and it will never be known. It did not have to happen to those 280 Indian children, and it should never happen to another child, but the government just does not have the gumption to declare the Catholic church to be a corupt pedophile organization and shut them down under RICO.

Meng Sends Letter to President Asking that Foreign-Born Military Recruits be Protected from Deportation
Jun 27, 2017
Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) today sent the following letter to President Trump requesting that no foreign-born person recruited into our Armed Forces be deported as the result of a reported policy change recommendation within the U.S Department of Defense (DOD). In 2009, DOD began the Military Accessions Vital to National Interest (MAVNI) program to recruit foreign-born individuals whose skills are considered vital to our national interest. Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that the Pentagon is considering canceling enlistment contracts for 1,000 MAVNI recruits which could lead to their deportation. The text of Meng's letter is below and a copy of the correspondence can be found here.
June 27, 2017
The Honorable Donald J. Trump
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Trump:
I write to request your personal assurance that no foreign-born person recruited into our nation's Armed Forces will be deported pursuant to the memo discussed in last night's Washington Post article entitled: "The Pentagon promised citizenship to immigrants who served. Now it might help deport them."
According to Alex Horton's article, "The Pentagon is considering a plan to cancel enlistment contracts for 1,000 foreign-born recruits without legal immigration status, knowingly exposing them to deportation." Also, "The Defense Department launched [Military Accessions Vital to National Interest (MAVNI)] in 2009. Since the program's start, more than 10,400 troops, most of them with service in the Army, have filled medical billets and language specialties – like Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and Pashto – languages identified by the Pentagon as vital to the success of military operations, but in short supply among U.S.-born troops...About 1,000 [MAVNI recruits] have seen their visas expire while waiting for travel orders, which would put them at risk of deportation if their contracts are canceled."
MAVNI recruits have contractually agreed to place their lives on the line to protect every American citizen. I feel it is only right that we honor our contract with them, and that we allow these individuals to continue to live in America once their service has concluded. They are exactly the type of individuals who will continue to make America great.
I thank you for your personal attention to this matter, and I hope we are able to honor the service of, and our contracts with, these patriotic individuals.
Grace Meng
Member of Congress

Absolutely not. My Credit card was accessed thru PMS site. I'm sure because it was 2 days before I clued in that someone used it to buy data on my account.
Given that 2 days had passed and the only bogus charges to my CC was for that 2 gig of data I'm darn sure of where the hack occurred. Or, it was perpetrated by the world's stupid crook.
@dmacdougallI guess you haven't heard of dress rehearsal attacks before, basically they could be verifying whether your information is still applicable in an innoculous manner (which is probably worse scenario than you had described because that means the perpetrators have more than just your credit card but also your browsing behavior). I highly recommend you check your devices and internet routers for issues and patches.. you probably want to reset all your passwords and credit card after you had fumagated.
But since you are absolutely sure it is Public Mobile's problem, carry on your slandering.
Slander, I think not. They've admitted that they were hacked. Further, if you think it thru you'd be hard pressed to find a crook who would be so stupid as to have my CC# for 2 days and not charge up the card. The fact is they hacked PM only. If they had access thru my devices, my CC would have neen raped. BTW what's with the attitude? Do you own shares in Telus?
Finally, I've only pointed out the facts here. PM dropped the ball on this one and then they played radio silence for 9 days. Also, didn't you take this blame the victim tact with another member awhile back.
@dmacdougall wrote:

@dmacdougall they have? I just read this whole thread front to back and I don't see you mention that PM has even responded, let alone admitting they've been hacked. Did I miss something??
Well after 9 days I thought it was a dream. Anyway, After I pointed them at it, yes they did. I'm going to called this solved. BTWThey referred it to thier fraud department.

We're the Shopper Monetary Safety Bureau, a U.S. authorities company that makes positive banks, lenders, and other monetary companies deal with you pretty. Career Protection: Active cash managers are human and it ought to come as no shock that they act in ways in which improve their compensation and scale back their possibilities of shedding their jobs. By sharing and leveraging its existing information base, the EIB may considerably enhance access-to-finance circumstances for KETs firms. These discrete thresholds thus give firms incentives to be lie just under a threshold.
As to politics and elections, most of us assume we're proper in how we view the world, or investments and can't understand how anyone can possibly have a special view and when given the opportunity to precise it will. Perhaps, part of this drawback is that the government has emphasized putting high school graduates into what have historically been entry-degree jobs, jobs which can be shrinking as a proportion of the roles obtainable attributable to changes in expertise and wanted coaching. For example, as a result of rise in sex trafficking over the last few decades, prostitution and pornography have develop into major political points again. Some are also planning to shorten the research period of their kids to cope with the additional costs incurred, while there are also those youngsters which may must take up part time jobs to help finance their education.
I guess investment banking and finance is good prep for entrepreneurship merely because of the hours concerned and you are additionally motivating your self to keep going which is what you'll have to do with a team of workers, anyway. Ultimately, I was pressured to cut back to three jobs because of employers unwilling to work round different work schedules. Sports activities stars like Jessica Ennis-Hill and Dan Carter have been co-opted into turning into the champions of automated finance. In addition, doing so wastes substantial time on trivia, significantly since we usually develop to end up liking the product we purchase anyway if its major characteristics are appropriate (see point four).
I do, however, take pleasure in demystifying the sector and serving to others undertake their own explorations of it. We frequently view finance as a distinct segment area characterised by numbers, complicated graphs, and professionals wielding obscure techniques, but the sector is the truth is underpinned by human relationships, energy dynamics and philosophical ideas that all of us intuitively understand.
Should you can manage your finance nicely, who is aware of you can be the subsequent particular person owning one of many issues shown below……By no means Ever Forget this. President Trump has prioritized repealing Obamacare and that may have direct penalties for companies within the well being care sector, with some benefiting (pharmaceutical firms?) and a few perhaps being harm (insurance companies and hospital stocks?). Because many of the multinational companies are having deficiency of finance consultants for their financial management. For forty years, academic finance has deplored active investing and paying fees for energetic management. Corporations may engage in brief-time period behavior to attain a specific credit standing.

Well, we've done it. 26 days through the alphabet focusing on holiness each day. Thanks for sticking with me through the whole time and being good sports as I try out something new.
To end I want to summarize the whole 26 days in two sentences: A holy God can only be approached by a holy people; Christians have been made holy by the works of Jesus. If you're a Christian you're commanded to walk in that holy life you've been called to, relying on the Holy Spirit rather than you're own strength. So do it to it – Amen!
This quote was encouraging when I saw it the other day. On October 7, 1930 missionary linguist Frank C. Laubach wrote this in a letter:
Beside Jesus, the whole lot of us are so contemptible…But God is like Jesus, and like Jesus, He will not give up until we, too, are like Jesus.
Praise God!

An Update:
Today (22 March), I realised that the Bak Chor Mee at "S-11 Serangoon Central Food House" (map) is very tasty! I rate it 4.1 over 5 stars. Here is the exact address:
Block 261
Serangoon Central Drive
😀 This time, I remembered to take a photo.
While I was on a site visit today, I decided to eat my lunch at G23 Food Centre (Fansida Building) located near Aljunied MRT (the local train service).
It is about a five minute walk away from the MRT.
This is how a typical hawker centre in Singapore would look like.
I ordered a bowl of Bak Chor Mee from "Ali Shan Noodle House". I did not manage to take a photo as I was too hungry to remember. 😉 I rate the noodles a 1.6 over 5 stars.
For me, there was too much ketchup and the lack of flavour from the chilli. There was too much lard and there were no meatballs! Meatballs are the main reason for me when it comes to eating Bak Chor Mee, I was therefore very disappointed.
The stall's saving grace is their server Uncle, who was a pretty peculiar chap. He cracked me up when he asked if my Fuji Finepix F31 camera (which was sitting on the table) was the latest Nokia N95 phone. It totally brightened up my afternoon. 😀
If you really want some good Bak Chor Mee, take a look at this list. I will be tracking them down real soon.

I love love love tamals. Love them! Being that Dona Maria has Tamale in the name I thought they'd be a sure bet. A discounted $10 dining certificate from Restaurant.com gave me the push I needed to give the restaurant a try.
Frank and I dined in the Tenaya location earlier this week. We were one of three tables dining in. It was awfully quiet for such a large space. Our server was friendly and attentive.
We asked for a hotter salsa than the one given and they came back with a delicious smoky spicy option, Chipotle, if I had to guess. It was excellent. We loved the heat. Albondigas soup followed, it was pretty good, I enjoyed the flavorful meatballs.
Both entrees were combos: tamal enchilada style and beef & bean burrito, and chile relleno and cheese and chili tamal. It was fine, but highly Americanized. This gringa likes the real deal so it was a disappointment. My tamal was pretty bland and dry, it needed more zest. I covered mine in the yummy hot salsa and it did the trick. Needless to say the enchilada style went over better.
I really need an abuelita in my life. I wish I could make authentic Mexican eats at home. It would save so much time, effort and belly space that is now spent on so so bites made to please gringos.

Come on down to Milner's Gate!
"Milner's has everything you need for a great evening. The bar is incredible, the food is great and the beer we have sampled is phenomenally done!"
"I'm usually wary of visiting new restaurants within the first month that they're open. Too many kinks to work out. However, we had a great experience at Milner's Gate just a week in. The space is absolutely stunning. Kudos to the architects and designers for preserving the historic integrity of this beautiful building. The menu is excellent, lots of local choices and options for vegans, gluten free, etc. No complaints about service. Everyone was hustling, and there was a manager walking around visiting with each table to make sure they were happy with their experience. We can't wait to come back in the summer when the patios are open."
"Wonderful dining experience. Wait staff very personable and professional. Food was very good and prices not bad. Ordered the porterhouse and it was cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back."

In a previous post having another go at the horse race analogy used by supporters of FPTP (First Past The Post) electoral systems, I tried to compare AV (The Alternative Vote) to a tug-of-war:
Initially the die-hard supporters of the two established foes (usually Labour and the Conservatives) take an end each. As they start pulling they scream out promises and threats to bystanders to try to persuade
- their stay-at-home supporters to pick up their end of the rope and pull
- supporters of minority parties to lend their weight (if only to stop the other side winning)
- the apathetic to look at how things are going and if they don't like what they see to also lend their weight.
As all of this happens you may find a few people changing ends, but the result is determined by who has the greatest weight of support and can pull themselves over the line at the close of polls.
I also suggested that STV (the Single Transferable Vote – usually in multi-member constituencies) might be a multi-dimensional version of this tug-of-war with each candidate having a rope. I have since been trying to visualise this! Continue reading

Amazing what goes on and more importantly get accepted and published in the field of gender studies these days. Let's take a peek at the abstract.
The text reads:
"As we stated, absolutely no academic journal should have published our paper. One did. The one that did is not a vanity journal (see above). It qualifies for faculty reimbursement at many university libraries, and it possessed at least one specialist reviewer whose knowledge of the field of gender studies evidently exceeds ours. This reviewer employed relevant academic terminology with obvious confidence ("capturs [sic] the issue of hypermasculinity through a multi-dimensional and nonlinear process") and read the paper carefully enough to remark on absence of a tool of analysis (poststructuralist discourse analysis is mentioned in the abstract but it is used nowhere in the manuscript, which the reviewer caught). On these facts alone, it reaches too far to suggest that nothing can be inferred about gender studies from the success of our satire.
At the same time, the "Conceptual Penis" paper is a parody whose target is easily recognizable and unmistakable. The paper is ridiculous, certainly, but it is also immediately identifiable with the field it lampoons. The power of satirical parody lies entirely in its being recognizable for what it mocks. This lends credibility to our abiding suspicion that there is a problem in gender studies and, by extension, other fields of postmodernist studies, and with the moral architecture on the academic Left that enables them."
Wow. The roast continues…
"It is only possible to entertain this criticism with any seriousness by ignoring the surrounding mountains of evidence that postmodernist vanity studies fields have built up over decades, which they term "scholarship." Within the corpus of literature in those fields, there is a voluminous, extant catalog of academically vapid papers that employ certain moral lenses and are written in impenetrable pseudo-analytical prose. That body of literature preceded and motivated our hoax while providing a basis for its style. For those who got the joke, our paper is funny because it's accurate. That is, it is not so very different from many real papers that are published in gender studies and related fields.
This is the real evidence justifying our initial suspicion about gender studies, and it is bolstered by the current fashionable madness taking over many college campuses. This collective insanity virtually always emanates from ideological complaints rooted in identity politics, aspects of postmodernism, and uses or abuses of "critical theory". This has been used to indoctrinate a generation of students and faculty who are now taking illiberal, authoritarian actions."
The moral of the story? One should be quite skeptical of any field that has its head this far up its own ass.

Such implied contracts are taken into effect by the court so as to safeguard ones payment, money or services which the other party is enjoying by unfair means. For instance is a person A gives the money to person B to give it to C, and if B does not hand it to C but enjoys the money himself, the court can hold B responsible for the breach. A will just have to prove that B was asked to hand money to C and not keep for himself.

Before the advent of wage labor, subsistence living was the norm. Here's how Allan Carlson describes it in From Cottage to Workstation:
The introduction of machine technology and the factory system of production forced the reordering of Western social life beginning during the nineteenth century. Prior to their appearance, the daily flow of events for the vast majority of the European peoples had been surprisingly stable. For over a millennium, householding had been the dominant economic pattern, with production for trade a relatively minor feature. Residence and workplace were normally one and the same, whether in the form of a farmer's cottage or a craftsman's shop. Household production, ranging from tool making and weaving to the keeping of livestock and the garden patch, bound each family together as a basic economic unit, a "community of work." Production complemented consumption and made the family largely self-sufficient, albeit at a relatively mean level of existence. Wives and children stood beside husbands and fathers as coworkers in the family enterprise, with no debate over issues of work and dependency. Indeed, family living was so central to life itself that it was largely taken for granted, being the social equivalent of breathing. Well into the nineteenth century, markets and money were of limited importance to the average farmer, cottager, or craftsman. In the European countryside, a varied mix of feudal obligations, payments-in-kind, barter, subsistence agriculture, and market production dominated. In towns, labor was governed by an elaborate series of customs designed, in part, to preserve the dignity of workers and the autonomy of households.
Carlson notes elsewhere that in 1800 more than ninety percent of Americans lived and worked on family farms. As industrialization set it, the factories were able to lure many away from this life, but not enough; by 1900 half of the population still lived and worked on family farms. Moreover, most of the folks who thought about such things recognized this movement away from the countryside for what it was, namely a social crisis, and much was said and some was even done to try to reverse the trend. But even with the resistance of farmers to giving up farming, and the awareness of what dire consequences would follow if the trend continued, by 1990 the percentage of people living on family farms had dropped so low (less than 2%) that the Census Bureau no longer counts them separately. What lured the rest of the farmers away?
Those farmers who resisted the lure of factory wages were lured by another industrial concept—the cash crop. Those who could not be persuaded to trade their labor for cash were enticed to trade a crop instead; it worked the same industrial magic, as farmers got accustomed to the idea that cash could supply their needs better than the fruits of their labors.
Soon enough farmers were concerned less with supplying their own needs and more with increasing yields, working more efficiently, and growing crops which the markets wanted most. And as they turned their attention to these things, children and women and grandparents on the family farm became superfluous, supplanted by specialized machinery and artificial fertilizers and store-bought food and clothing. No longer able to contribute to the family economy, family members found other ways to occupy their time, and the family began to erode. Meanwhile, the farmer was now at the mercy of the market, no longer able to supply his own needs directly, and did whatever was necessary to continue generating cash from his crop.
I know of no single book that tells this story. A good portion of it can be found in Andrew Lytle's essay in the book I'll Take My Stand. And much of the story is told in the form of a parable in H.L. Roush's Henry and the Great Society.
Of all the reasons it was a bad idea for farmers to switch from subsistence farming to cash cropping, the most important is that it destroyed the family economy. When a family was focused primarily on supplying its own needs and selling only from its surplus, there was a place for every family member young and old to contribute to the enterprise. Pa Wilder was able to spend winter days making shingles for market, and Ma Wilder weaving cloth and churning butter for sale, in large part because ten-year-old Almanzo was able to do work that contributed significantly to the everyday operation of the farm.
But when cash cropping became the emphasis, the everyday work that had been needed to run a diverse farm rapidly disappeared, and children, women, and elders could not work efficiently enough on the few remaining tasks to make a real contribution. No longer able to contribute to the family enterprise, they began to live separate lives, often outside the home.
In our family we've always thought that our children should be obligated to work, for many reasons—to teach diligence, to instill an appreciation of and even love for physical labor, to equip them with skills, to spread the burden of work around and thereby increase our capacity for work as a family. But until recently it was very difficult for us to come up with work that was both within the abilities of a child and a tangible contribution rather than makework.
This changed quickly once we began to farm. Suddenly there were meaningful chores everywhere—animals to feed and water and move, eggs to collect, chickens to slaughter and gut, a garden to plant and weed and pick, food to prepare and preserve, wood to stack, repairs to make, tools to improvise. The level of work rose to the point where there was no way we could get it done without the full participation of the children. We knew it, and they knew it, and they rose to the occasion, and they have grown in stature and wisdom as a result. They are now partners in our family operation. They are living a real life, right here at home, and understand that the work they do now will bless them in the years to come when they take over this multi-generational enterprise.
To reclaim the family, we need to reclaim the idea of a family economy. But doing so in the context of a modern society may be the hardest task facing us. It may not require that we all become farmers, but it will require that we create family enterprises that are as diverse and satisfying and life-sustaining as a family farm. At the end of his essay in I'll Take My Stand, Andrew Lytle spells out what it will take to reclaim the independent and full lives that our forefathers knew. Let us each search for our own way of throwing off the shackles he describes.
The small farmer must deny himself the articles the industrialists offer for sale. It is not so impossible as it may seem at first, for, after all, the necessities they machine-facture were once manufactured on the land, and as for the bric-a-brac, let it rot on their hands. Do what we did after the war and the Reconstruction: return to our looms, our handcrafts, our reproducing stock. Throw out the radio and take down the fiddle from the wall. Forsake the movies for the play-parties and the square dances. And turn away from the liberal capons who fill the pulpits as preachers. Seek a priesthood that may manifest the will and intelligence to renounce science and search out the Word in the authorities.
So long as the industrialist remains in the saddle there must be a money crop to pay him taxes, but let it occupy second place. Any man who grows his own food, kills his own meat, takes wool from his lambs and cotton from his stalks and makes them into clothes, plants corn and hay for his stock, shoes them at the crossroads blacksmith shop, draws milk and butter from his cows, eggs from his pullets, water from the ground, and fuel from the woodlot, can live in an industrial world without a great deal of cash. Let him diversify, but diversify so that he may live rather than that he may grow rich. In this way he wi
ll escape by far the heaviest form of taxation, and if the direct levies grow too exorbitant, refuse to pay them. Make those who rule the country bear the burden of government.

According to Voltaire, Climate not only influenced Nature but also Mankind. To him, Climate most especially influenced religion and government and nations. This makes me wonder if those folks who believe in Global Warming took their cue from him. In this article from his Philosophical Dictionary you can learn about his Climate theory.
It is certain that the sun and atmosphere mark their empire on all the productions of nature, from man to mushrooms. In the grand age of Louis XIV., the ingenious Fontenelle remarked:
"One might imagine that the torrid and two frigid zones are not well suited to the sciences. Down to the present day they have not travelled beyond Egypt and Mauritania, on the one side, nor on the other beyond Sweden. Perhaps it is not owing to mere chance that they are retained within Mount Atlas and the Baltic Sea. We know not whether these may not be the limits appointed to them by nature, or whether we may ever hope to see great authors among Laplanders or negroes."
Chardin, one of those travellers who reason and investigate, goes still further than Fontenelle, when speaking of Persia. "The temperature of warm climates," says he, "enervates the mind as well as the body, and dissipates that fire which the imagination requires for invention. In such climates men are incapable of the long studies and intense application which are necessary to the production of first-rate works in the liberal and mechanic arts," etc.
Chardin did not consider that Sadi and Lokman were Persians. He did not recollect that Archimedes belonged to Sicily, where the heat is greater than in three-fourths of Persia. He forgot that Pythagoras formerly taught geometry to the Brahmins. The Abbé Dubos supported and developed, as well as he was able, the opinion of Chardin.
One hundred and fifty years before them, Bodin made it the foundation of his system in his "Republic," and in his "Method of History"; he asserts that the influence of climate is the principle both of the government and the religion of nations. Diodorus of Sicily was of the same opinion long before Bodin.
The author of the "Spirit of Laws," without quoting any authority, carried this idea farther than Chardin and Bodin. A certain part of the nation believed him to have first suggested it, and imputed it to him as a crime. This was quite in character with that part of the nation alluded to. There are everywhere men who possess more zeal than understanding.
We might ask those who maintain that climate does everything, why the Emperor Julian, in his "_Misopogon_" says that what pleased him in the Parisians was the gravity of their characters and the severity of their manners; and why these Parisians, without the slightest change of climate, are now like playful children, at whom the government punishes and smiles at the same moment, and who themselves, the moment after, also smile and sing lampoons upon their masters.
Why are the Egyptians, who are described as having been still more grave than the Parisians, at present the most lazy, frivolous, and cowardly of people, after having, as we are told, conquered the whole world for their pleasure, under a king called Sesostris? Why are there no longer Anacreons, Aristotles, or Zeuxises at Athens? Whence comes it that Rome, instead of its Ciceros, Catos, and Livys, has merely citizens who dare not speak their minds, and a brutalized populace, whose supreme happiness consists in having oil cheap, and in gazing at processions?
Cicero, in his letters, is occasionally very jocular on the English. He desires his brother Quintus, Cæsar's lieutenant, to inform him whether he has found any great philosophers among them, in his expedition to Britain. He little suspected that that country would one day produce mathematicians whom he could not understand. Yet the climate has not at all changed, and the sky of London is as cloudy now as it was then.
Everything changes, both in bodies and minds, by time. Perhaps the Americans will in some future period cross the sea to instruct Europeans in the arts. Climate has some influence, government a hundred times more; religion and government combined more still.
Influence of Climate.
Climate influences religion in respect to ceremonies and usages. A legislator could have experienced no difficulty in inducing the Indians to bathe in the Ganges at certain appearances of the moon; it is a high gratification to them. Had any one proposed a like bath to the people who inhabit the banks of the Dwina, near Archangel, he would have been stoned. Forbid pork to an Arab, who after eating this species of animal food (the most miserable and disgusting in his own country) would be affected by leprosy, he will obey you with joy; prohibit it to a Westphalian, and he will be tempted to knock you down. Abstinence from wine is a good precept of religion in Arabia, where orange, citron, and lemon waters are necessary to health. Mahomet would not have forbidden wine in Switzerland, especially before going to battle.
There are usages merely fanciful. Why did the priests of Egypt devise circumcision? It was not for the sake of health. Cambyses, who treated as they deserved both them and their bull Apis, the courtiers of Cambyses, and his soldiers, enjoyed perfectly good health without such mutilation. Climate has no peculiar influence over this particular portion of the person of a priest. The offering in question was made to Isis, probably on the same principle as the firstlings of the fruits of the earth were everywhere offered. It was typical of an offering of the first fruits of life.
Religions have always turned on two pivots--forms of ceremonies, and faith. Forms and ceremonies depend much on climate; faith not at all. A doctrine will be received with equal facility under the equator or near the pole. It will be afterwards equally rejected at Batavia and the Orcades, while it will be maintained, _unguibus et rostro_--with tooth and nail--at Salamanca. This depends not on sun and atmosphere, but solely upon opinion, that fickle empress of the world.
Certain libations of wine will be naturally enjoined in a country abounding in vineyards; and it would never occur to the mind of any legislator to institute sacred mysteries, which could not be celebrated without wine, in such a country as Norway.
It will be expressly commanded to burn incense in the court of a temple where beasts are killed in honor of the Divinity, and for the priests' supper. This slaughter-house, called a temple, would be a place of abominable infection, if it were not continually purified; and without the use of aromatics, the religion of the ancients would have introduced the plague. The interior of the temple was even festooned with flowers to sweeten the air.
The cow will not be sacrificed in the burning territory of the Indian peninsula, because it supplies the necessary article of milk, and is very rare in arid and barren districts, and because its flesh, being dry and tough, and yielding but little nourishment, would afford the Brahmins but miserable cheer. On the contrary, the cow will be considered sacred, in consequence of its rareness and utility.
The temple of Jupiter Ammon, where the heat is excessive, will be entered only with bare feet. To perform his devotions at Copenhagen, a man requires his feet to be warm and well covered.
It is not thus with doctrine. Polytheism has been believed in all climates; and it is equally easy for a Crim Tartar and an inhabitant of Mecca to acknowledge one only incommunicable God, neither begotten nor begetting. It is by doctrine, more than by rites, that a religion extends from one climate to another. The doctrine of the unity of God passed rapidly from Medina to Mount Caucasus. Climate, then, yields to opinion.
The Arabs said to the Turks: "We practiced the ceremony of circumcision in Arabia without very well knowing why. It was an ancient usage of the priests of Egypt to offer to Oshiret, or Osiris, a small portion of what they considered most valuable. We had adopted this custom three thousand years before we became Mahometans. You will become circumcised like us; you will bind yourself to sleep with one of your wives every Friday, and to give two and a half per cent. of your income annually to the poor. We drink nothing but water and sherbet; all intoxicating liquors are forbidden us. In Arabia they are pernicious. You will embrace the same regimen, although you should be passionately fond of wine; and even although, on the banks of the Phasis and Araxes, it should often be necessary for you. In short, if you wish to go to heaven, and to obtain good places there, you will take the road through Mecca."
The inhabitants north of the Caucasus subject themselves to these laws, and adopt, in the fullest extent, a religion which was never framed for them.
In Egypt the emblematical worship of animals succeeded to the doctrines of Thaut. The gods of the Romans afterwards shared Egypt with the dogs, the cats, and the crocodiles. To the Roman religion succeeded Christianity; that was completely banished by Mahometanism, which will perhaps be superseded by some new religion.
In all these changes climate has effected nothing; government has done everything. We are here considering only second causes, without raising our unhallowed eyes to that Providence which directs them. The Christian religion, which received its birth in Syria, and grew up towards its fulness of stature in Alexandria, inhabits now those countries where Teutat and Irminsul, Freya and Odin, were formerly adored.
There are some nations whose religion is not the result either of climate or of government. What cause detached the north of Germany, Denmark, three parts of Switzerland, Holland, England, Scotland, and Ireland, from the Romish communion? Poverty. Indulgences, and deliverance from purgatory for the souls of those whose bodies were at that time in possession of very little money, were sold too dear. The prelates and monks absorbed the whole revenue of a province. People adopted a cheaper religion. In short, after numerous civil wars, it was concluded that the pope's religion was a good one for nobles, and the reformed one for citizens. Time will show whether the religion of the Greeks or of the Turks will prevail on the coasts of the Euxine and Aegean seas.

/me wonderz how long this guy will last.... Every time anybody posts something that has anything to do with hacking on this site they get negged out of existence so fast....I think it sucks. People's interest in hacking is what starts people on the path to learning about network security, and then when they get to be more mature they become experts and have a lot to offer, but they get kicked off the site before they even have a chance, so I think it's dumb to neg people for admitting that they have an interest in hacking.... Main point: Please don't neg this guy.
if it's windows, pop in the recovery cd, that ought to do it, if not, be a little more specific?
Ron Paul: Hope for America
There is a sticky post in the tutorial forum made by Negative which is named "Read Me First". It has a lot of insormation on how to ask smart questions etc.. You might want to take a look at that, it contains valuable information on a lot of thing regarding this site and more.it can be found http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=248688 <--there.
There is a section in there written by Und3ertak3r called "Help us when you have a problem" .
You have given us very little to work with and the title is not that appealing either.
But anyway:
For as far as recovering a lost password.
If you are on a windows machine and have physical access to the machine you could take a look at:
Trinity Rescue Kit ( http://www.trinityhome.org/trk/index.html ) , it has a password resetting script for rescueing windows.
If you are talking about a linux system you may want to consider booting into single user mode to reset your friends password.
if you are trying to be funny like V_ln then i think you are failing misrubbly..

The president of Kinder Morgan Canada said Tuesday that the review process for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, not the political debate in B.C., should determine whether or not the twinning of the Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline goes ahead.
Ian Anderson was responding to NDP leader Adrian Dix's statement Monday that an NDP government would not support a major increase in oil tanker traffic in and out of Vancouver harbour.
"We understand that the associated public policy discussions about our project will occur. However, we believe that the process, including full applications and supporting evidence, should determine the outcome," Anderson said in an email to The Sun.
"We are confident that we can satisfy questions and concerns about our proposed project both from the public and elected officials. Trans Mountain's commitment to listening and incorporating feedback into our project remains, regardless of which party wins the B.C. election," he said.
Trans Mountain has not yet made an application to the National Energy Board for its expansion, but it has announced it intends to file later this year for approval to triple the current pipeline capacity from 300,000 barrels a day to 890,000 at a cost of $5.4 billion.
The project includes a new 36-inch pipeline alongside the existing pipeline, new storage tanks at Edmonton, Sumas and Burnaby, and an expansion of its Westridge marine terminal from one berth to three. Most of the oil products flowing through the pipeline now are destined for local use or U.S. markets. The expansion is being driven by commitments Kinder Morgan has already received from Asian customers wanting Alberta oilsands bitumen.
Kinder Morgan expects that 25 to 30 tankers a month would travel in and out of the harbour if the project goes ahead. Today, anywhere from five to 10 tankers a month use the Westridge terminal.
Dix did not slam the door completely on the project but said the NDP would not support what he called "a massive change in the nature of that operation."
Once Kinder Morgan files an application with the National Energy Board, it will initiate a process that includes public hearings. The NEB then makes a recommendation to the federal cabinet, which holds the final decision-making power. The province would have the opportunity to participate in those hearings, as it is doing in the Enbridge Northern Gateway hearings, and would have to approve any licences or permits that are within its jurisdiction for the project to go ahead.
B.C. Business Council executive vice-president Jock Finlayson said he is unclear if the province could stop the pipeline if the federal cabinet approves it, but that it would be unusual for such a major infrastructure project to go ahead if both levels of government are not supportive.
"Those who are investing capital in the private sector do not gain confidence in the venture when they see sharp divisions emerging," he said. "We need the two senior levels of government to be working together."
He also said he recognizes that Dix's comments are in the context of an election campaign but that by taking a stand against the expansion, the NDP leader risks sending an anti-business message outside the province.
"B.C. policy-makers, and potential policy-makers do need to be sensitive to the signals that are sent out into the marketplace about our jurisdiction as a place to invest and do business. Obviously during an election campaign there is a preoccupation with more local issues, but these things do have implications," he said.
The business council is not an advocate for any pipeline projects, Finlayson said, but is supportive of infrastructure projects in general.
