This is really just me going over ground that's already been comprehensively covered by N Pepperell's posts on the early chapters of 'Capital' (to which it's just totally indebted, to the point of outright theft). It was all meant to be part of a longer post on 'Specters', which recently collapsed under its own weight, onto its shaky foundations. There's something I'm not happy with in the below – something that doesn't seem right. But I can't figure out what it is – so I'm ignoring it. Perhaps sometime eventually we'll get to temporality in Derrida.
When the commodity comes on stage, in 'Capital', according to Derrida, it comes on stage first of all as a 'Thing'. "To say that the same thing, the wooden table for example, comes on stage as a commodity after having been but an ordinary thing in its use-value is to grant an origin to the ghostly moment. Its use-value, Marx seems to imply, was intact. It was what it was, use-value, identical to itself. The phantasmagoria, like capital, would begin with exchange-value and the commodity form. It is only then that the ghost "comes on stage." Before this, according to Marx, it was not there. Not even in order to haunt use-value. But whence comes the certainty concerning the previous phase, that of this supposed use-value, precisely, a use-value purified of everything that makes for exchange-value and the commodity form? What secures this distinction for us?"
Yes, what? Derrida insistently reads Marx in terms of a before and after – a before of pure presence; an after of spectral capital. First use-value; then exchange value.
But this reading requires a somewhat doubtful interpretation of Marx's text. For when the commodity first "comes on stage", in 'Capital' – in the book's first sentence – it comes on stage not as a simple Thing, but already as a commodity.
"The wealth of societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails appears as an 'immense collection of commodities' [Marx citing his own earlier 'A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy]; the individual commodity appears as its elementary form. Our investigation therefore begins with the analysis of the commodity."
Marx begins with the commodity; he then disassembles the commodity into what "appear" to be its component parts: use-value, and exchange-value. And once Marx begins this disassembly, he does indeed "appear" to give temporal priority to use-value.
"The commodity is, first of all, an external object, a thing which through its properties satisfies human needs of whatever kind." [my emphases]
First of all an external object – a thing. What could be clearer? But it is perhaps worth emphasising: this "thing" is not in itself a use-value, not as such. Rather, use-value is the product of the ability of external objects to satisfy human needs – and it is only this relation that makes an object into a use-value. "The usefulness of a thing makes it a use-value." Thus an external object "is" a use-value, but it is a use-value (of course) only through its involvement in human society. Use-value is socially conditioned, or produced.
"Every useful thing, for example, iron, paper, etc., may be looked at from the two points of view of quality and quantity. [And these "two points of view" may "appear" to map on to the use-value / exchange-value distinction…. ("As use-values, commodities differ above all in quality, while as exchange-values they can differ only in quantity…")… but this parallel will be complicated as 'Capital' advances.] Every useful thing is a whole composed of many properties; it can therefore be useful in various ways. The discovery of these ways and hence of the manifold uses of things is the work of history."
Marx is enough of a Hegelian that we should prick up our ears when he mentions "the work of history". And there is a footnote appended to this phrase:
"'Things have an intrinsick vertue' (this is Barbon's special term for use-value) 'which in all places have the same vertue; as the loadstone to attract iron.' (op., cit., p. 6)." And then Marx adds: "The magnet's property of attracting iron only became useful once it had lead to the discovery of magnetic polarity."
This comment disrupts the associations that the concept of "intrinisck vertue" may seem to carry. (It is, perhaps, moments like this that lead Engels to insist, in his Preface to the third edition, that Marx should not be read as endorsing the theoretical views of the economists he quotes.) For on the one hand, the property of attracting iron is intrinsic, is a material property; on the other hand it is a use-value… thus use-value is material. But, of course, since a use-value is only made into a use-value by its social and historical position, in another sense this "intrinsick" virtue is far from intrinsic at all. "[G]eometrical, physical, chemical or other natural… properties of commodities come into consideration… to the extent that they make the commodities useful, .i.e. turn them into use-values." Commodities, as Marx here says, have to be turned into use-values – just as they have to be turned into exchange values – and this transformation, this 'turning' (like the table-turning that Derrida later discusses) is "the work of history".
So use-value is both social and historicised. And in the next sentence, Marx draws out the parallel between historicised use-value and historicised exchange-value.
"Every useful thing is a whole composed of many properties; it can therefore be useful in various ways. The discovery of these ways and hence of the manifold uses of these things is the work of history. So also is the invention of socially recognised standards of measurement for the quantities of these useful objects." [my emphasis.]
The historical and social processes that give a material thing its exchange-value also give it its use-value; and use-value is not assumed to exist prior to this general social entanglement.
All this is, perhaps, tediously obvious. Of course in some sense use-value is already social, or relational – whoever thought to deny that? But I think it's important to emphasise this stuff if we're to discuss Derrida's reading of 'Capital'.
Here's a famous passage, from the start of Marx's discussion of commodity-fetishism, that is one of the key moments Derrida uses to convict Marx of a metaphysical privileging of the purity of use-value.
"A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties. So far as it is a use-value, there is nothing mysterious about it [and this is the position Derrida emphasises in his reading – an apparent treatment of use-value as non-mysterious, as escaping the mysteriousness of fetishism, and therefore as the locus of the metaphysical idea of purity that fetishism contaminates], whether we consider it from the point of view that by its properties it satisfies human needs, or that it first takes on these properties as the product of human labour [my emphasis]. It is absolutely clear that, by his activity, man changes the forms of the materials of nature in such a way as to make them useful to him. The form of wood, for instance, is altered if a table is made out of it. Nevertheless the table continues to be wood, an ordinary, sensuous thing. But as soon as it emerges as a commodity, it changes into a thing which transcends sensuousness. It not only stands with its feet on the ground, but, in relation to all other commodities, it stands on its head, and evolves out of its wooden brain grotesque ideas, far more wonderful than if it were to begin dancing of its own free will."
There seems to be a movement here from 'ordinary' use-value to the 'metaphysical' subtlety of exchange-value, or of commodification. But it should be emphasised that (as Marx says quite plainly) the "ordinary, sensuous thing" that is an object in its use-value, only becomes a use-value through the same social processes that make it into a commodity, and thus make it "transcend" sensuousness. "[I]t first takes on these properties as the product of human labour". Ordinary sensuousness is not, in itself, enough to make the table a use-value – even though the use-value is that ordinary sensuousness.
The relevant distinction here, I think, is not between materiality as use-value, on the one-hand, and exchange-value or commodification, on the other – but rather between materiality as such, independent of human needs, and materiality as use-value. Derrida seems to assimilate use-value to materiality in general, in his reading of Marx – which is why he calls Marx's idea of use-value 'ontological'. And this has some justification – because a commodity's use-value is its materiality; Marx says this very plainly. But this is a materiality – an ordinary sensuousness – that is not use-value in itself, but that has to be made into use-value, through labour (which is the basic institution of capitalism), and through the social and historical production or invention of the needs use-values satisfy. Use-value, like exchange-value, is an outcome of the general social system Marx analyses.
Is this belabouring the obvious? Maybe. But I think Derrida neglects this aspect of Marx. Perhaps I'll have more to say about that some other time.

It began last week, when my colleague Stephen Leavitt and I were looking for a unique way to bring in the new year, with the help of our readers. We thought of all kinds of polls that would get our readers riled up, or, at least, give them a chuckle. But we couldn't come up with anything that would combine all the aspects of what a new year is about, and so, finally, we decided to leave it up to the readers.
We called it "The JewishPress.com Rosh Hashanah Petition to God."
As demands of reader participation go, this one was pretty high. You were supposed to share with us your real hopes for the new year, in an effort to impress God with our appeals as a group and—as a group—receive better attention.
There is a Jewish concept of "The king's glory is intensified by the size of His assembly," meaning that in approaching God, the bigger the crowd, the better. But it had to be real, it had to be sincere.
Here are a few of my favorites (my own request was "Please make my most favorite lake in the world, the Kineret, rise up to its healthy level this coming year.")
Some of our readers were, indeed, direct, personal, open, and sincere:
"Oh, Almighty Hashem, please restore to me health of mind, body and soul. Also, please let me return to Israel while my health allows. Shalom!"
"HaShem, my Redeemer and Sustainer, please allow me stay where I arrived 5 years ago and marry the man whom I will love."
I also liked those who were very specific:
"That Heather get a good paying safe job."
And a political wish:
"No October surprises for the American elections….!"
I happen to know the above reader personally, and she is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, so her wish, I presume, is that the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, not surprise his Opponent just before the elections. But I'm sure there are many Republicans among our readers who are just as petrified of an Obama October surprise.
Another close friend of mine wrote what she wished for:
"A plot of land in the Galilee in which to farm and live in peace and health."
Probably one of the most touching, specific and open was this one:
"Please guide my granddaughter and make her see that she is worthy of a terrific, white, Jewish young man and not a worthless Black Goy with no future…"
A similar plea:
"A cure for Alzheimer's and heart disease for my mother; and for my older daughter to return to our faith and not marry a non Jew."
Another one, just as personal:
"I'm about to marry my first wife for the second time. Please Hashem, help me hold it together this time."
This one is so simple, we just know it's coming true this coming year:
"To receive my green card."
And another one that's not fooling around:
"Please send me a nice husband! You know what I want and need. Thank you in advance."
And on a more general level:
"Please ensure that Obama is not re-elected."
Followed by:
"May God be sure that Obama is reelected."
And a heartfelt plea on the same topic:
"Please bring some sanity and common sense to those Jews who are voting for Obama."
Followed by a similarly benign wish:
"Re-election of President Obama, protection of Israel, and the reconciliation of Jews and African-Americans."
Finally, the most recent wish was entered on Sunday morning:
"Please help me live in the moment."
Amen to all your wishes. There were many pleas for peace and prosperity and victory over Iran and Messiah (with a few Christian readers sneaking their decidedly un-Jewish wishes, which we decided not to censor because they weren't aggressively preachy).
A happy and sweet new year from all of us at JewishPress.com.

Creating space for transformative conversations
Small Steps in Ecological Footprinting, Feb 28
If everyone in the world consumed resources and materials at the same rate as the average North American, we would need four planets to provide for the needs of every human being on Earth. While most of us have heard of the concept of an "ecological footprint", an idea that originated with UBC's William Rees, it's a difficult principle to put into practice. Measuring and understanding the way we use resources and create waste is the key to reducing our ecological input, however, scaling from the planetary to the personal is not an easy thing to do. This dialogue will seek out answers to the following questions: What are the challenges to understanding our ecological footprint? How can the concept best be communicated and how effective is it in promoting behavioural change? What does the future hold for "ecological footprinting"?
When: Friday, February 28, 12:30 - 1:30 PM
Where: SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings Street, Room 1700
Registration: Please reserve your free seat here
Our panelists have both been involved with Evergreen's Project Green Bloc, a demonstration initiative where residents of Vancouver's Riley Park neighbourhood are working to lower their collective ecological footprint by 25 percent over 3 years through community collaboration and science-based research models. For more information, see Jim Boothroyd's article on Project Green Bloc in the Tyee.

Mrs. Delightful
Wow! This is a great idea for training tender vines. I planted two Carolina Jasmine (jessamine?) plants and one Confederate Jasmine by a treated wood trellis and the Carolina seems to want something skinnier than the latticework to climb on. Your fishing line trick may be a great place for it to start.ReplyDelete
Now..the Confederate? It's going crazy! The flowers on this vine smell wonderful and it's tough as tacks!
Looks brilliant !! Come link it up with us at our party: http://www.finecraftguild.com/party/ . This is an idea to share!!ReplyDelete

That looks like it worked out perfect! Great idea, and super way to use up all that fishing line...don't think my fisherman husband would agree, but I love it! :)ReplyDelete
I so want to do this on our back fence. It is such an eye sore. I was thinking of climbing roses. I wonder if I will need to use something a little stronger than fishing line...maybe wire. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Okay for real, this is a genius idea, and so helpful when you are on a budget...I mean most people have fishing line and nails laying around the house, so that limits what you have to spend to get this made! Thanks so much for sharing this at last weeks party!ReplyDelete
I wanted to let you know that we featured this at this weeks Naturally-Nifty Party! STop by and check it out and grab a featured button!

Wow. Well, I guess Patricia needed a re-bound guy and a revenge shag. Good of you to supply both, but possibly a little naive to think it was anything else.
But I guess universal balance has been restored.

Yeh, Ginny, that bloody Keith bloke, eh? Just 'cos he's got MS and split up with his long term girlfriend, who then shagged his best mate, he got a bit upset and narky. What a twat, eh?
You twat.

You slept with Patricia? Thats really really low...

Hey, not-Keith. At least you were right about Patricia only fucking Stan to get back at you. That must make you feel at least a little less like singing Smiths songs....?
I tried to post this on not-Keith's own site, but it wouldn't let me ('cos I ain't no blogger, man). So I'm using Stan to get to not-Keith (just like Patricia did).
Sorry Stan.

I wasn't actually referring to him starting the Blog in some kind of "revenge" against Stan when stating my opinion of his twatness.
It was more his writing style, overuse of "fuck" etc.

God damn, what a train wreck! And it's all so public. And getting with your best friend's ex!!! Stan, you have no shame, none at all. Tsk, tsk.
Some of these responses are almost as entertaining as the drama found on the blogs.
Reading this stuff sort of has the same effect on me as watching Jerry Springer. God, I love my life.
Sorry Stan. Sorry Keith. Sorry Patrica.

iDatix' CEO on why automation creates more - and better - jobs
Some people think of Business Process Management or process automation as something that takes jobs away. But process automation and business process management is about freeing up capacity so that people can do more "value adding" jobs, argues Steve Allen, CEO and founder of iDatix in this Boardroom Perspectives podcast.
In this interview, Allen discusses how he sees the industry evolving, key trends in the years ahead and why it's time for business software to become much more user friendly.

The George H. Sands and Estelle M. Sands Foundation has given $7 million to the new Princeton Medical Center for the George and Estelle Sands Center for Cardiac and Pulmonary Care. The gift is the second largest received by Princeton Medical Center Foundation.
The cardiology and pulmonary program within the new hospital will dedicate over 9,300 square feet of space and new equipment to enhance the current capabilities. The program will include diagnostic cardiology, pulmonary procedures and testing, a cardiac catheterization laboratory, and cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
"When we started planning the replacement hospital, I was fortunate to have spent many hours with George and his son, Jeffrey, discussing project details and management issues," said Barry S. Rabner, President and CEO of Princeton Health. "We benefited greatly from their experiences and integrity. Estelle Sands has been a long-time supporter of our nursing staff through a special scholarship program she established with the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and our nursing department. Through this wonderful gift, the Sands family is helping redefine how care is delivered in central New Jersey."
A $5 million portion of the gift will support the construction of the new hospital, specifically the area designated for The George and Estelle Sands Center for Cardiac and Pulmonary Care. The remaining $2 million will be reserved in a restricted endowment designated as The George and Estelle Sands Fund for Cardiac and Pulmonary Care. These funds will support various programs within the Sands Center for education, physician training, the training of nurses and staff, and other needs of the center.
"We are very grateful to the George H. Sands and Estelle M. Sands Foundation for this tremendous gift," said Bob Doll, co-chair of the Design for Healing campaign. "George and Estelle have a long history of leadership within our community and have demonstrated once again how fortunate we are to have the Sands Family as our neighbors and friends. Their gift to the campaign raises our sights; I believe that their generosity will encourage others within our community to give to the new hospital so that we can leave a legacy for our children and our grandchildren. My thanks go out to them, as well as to all the individuals and organizations who have already supported us."
About the Sands
The couple, residents of Princeton for more than 60 years, were motivated to make this gift by their profound love of the town and their commitment to support quality healthcare. Mr. Sands, who was a real estate investor, passed away in November of 2007.
The George and Estelle Sands Foundation has a long track record of philanthropy. In addition to numerous smaller contributions to local charities, the Foundation made a large contribution to the Princeton Public Library, an integral part of the fabric of the Princeton community. The building was named after George and Estelle Sands.
They also established the Sands Scholars Program, which provides scholarships for eight nursing students each year at the University of Pennsylvania in exchange for their commitment to work at the University Medical Center at Princeton after they graduate for each year they receive support.
The George and Estelle Sands Foundation is also a generous supporter of the Arts Council of Princeton and made a significant contribution to its campaign for a new building.
"I am pleased to be able to continue the tradition of support to this community which has meant so much to me, my family, and late husband. The new Princeton Medical Center will be a significant and much needed improvement for everyone in our community and area," said Mrs. Sands.
In 2007, Mr. and Mrs. Sands received the Honorary Alumni Award from the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Sands is also a member of the Academy of the University of Pennsylvania. Estelle Sands has been very private throughout her life and only makes gifts to pre-selected charitable organizations.
"We thank the George H. Sands and Estelle M. Sands Foundation for recognizing the importance of the capital campaign to our community's future with their considerable gift. On behalf of both the System Board of Trustees and the Foundation Board of Directors, we thank the Sands family for their generosity," said JoAnn Heffernan Heisen, co-chair of the Design for Healing campaign, and member of Princeton Health Board of Trustees.

Washington Post's misogynist party stunt heralds the dawn of Trumpocalypse
Election night at The Washington Post ushered in a new era - the beginning of Trumpocalypse. The management at Washington Post are visionaries.
For an election race with a woman candidate up against a business mogul with a penchant for grabbing women by their crotch, WaPo's election-Casino themed party stuck to the theme... in the most tasteless manner possible. The news giant thought it appropriate to have guests pluck napkins off of a woman's body. Almost as if in celebration of the triumph of misogyny.
The Washinton Post's management was responsible for the casino-themed Election Night event, and was sponsored by MGM, which is opening a new hotel next month outside of DC. The party act involving a server lady with napkins attached to her dress, encouraging guests to grab handfuls, did not, however, go down very well with the newsroom side of The Post.

In a letter addressed to Publisher Fred Ryan and Vice President for Communications & Events Kris Coratti, the editorial staff criticised the blatant sexism in the act, and lamented that it went against what The Post stood for in the 2016 Presidential Elections, Huffington Post reported.
"[The] napkin-wearing woman who was being disrobed by guests went beyond inappropriate to offensive to those those of us who resent seeing women continually being reduced to and offered as objects of men's sexual desires," wrote the Post's Articles Editor Elizabeth Chang, on behalf of around 150 male and female staffers.
"The fact that this happened at a Washington Post party at the conclusion of an election in which the issue of sexual assault played a huge role is upsetting and infuriating and counter to what we thought The Post stood for in this election," the letter read.
Employees were particularly disturbed by the symbolism attached to the act involved. The letter further read: given the seriousness of election night and the decision that was made about the future direction of our country (not to mention that one of the candidates was a casino-owning mogul who likes to grab women by the crotch)."
Kris Coratti responded to the scathing mail on 11 November, apologising for the 'upset', and informing employees that she'd spoken to Publisher Fred Ryan.
"Although it was never our intent, we regret that this occurred and sincerely apologize for any upset created by this situation. Going forward, be assured that even more scrutiny will be placed on the packages offered by our sponsors -- before, during, and after each event. You will not encounter anything like this again", Coratti's response read.

Goshenhoppen (Pennsylvania, USA)
Goshenhoppen, the name given in colonial times to that part of the Perkiomen Valley north of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, also the former name of the present town of Bally, Pennsylvania. There is evidence that the Hereford Mennonite Church was some times referred to as Goshenhoppen. Also sometime before 1749 J. H. Sprogel, a Lutheran, donated a tract of land in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, about 5 miles (8 km.) east of Bally, jointly to the Lutheran, Reformed, and Mennonite denominations for church, cemetery, and school purposes. A union meetinghouse was erected on this tract, but the Mennonites never built a meeting house of their own here. A number of Mennonites are buried in the cemetery of what is now the new Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, the former union church.

Bathhouse and Hinky Dink
The episode opened with Colvin and Wysocki at the trial of a city official that Colvin had arrested for corruption. It what should have been a slam dunk trial, the jury came back deadlocked and the case was dismissed.
The city official got a hung jury from one of the crime family bosses Killian. Liam the undercover officer who has been doing odd jobs for Gibbons was sent to pick up a gift basket from the city official for Killian.
With the information that Liam was able to get Wysocki and Colvin were able to get closer and closer to Killian and finally sent Liam in to setup a sting operation. Liam nearly got made but was able to salvage the sting and got the information they needed.
Vonda and Isaac were sent in to stop the trash truck that was carrying crack that was linked to Killian. Wysocki and Evers were able to get the driver to flip on Killian. Colvin and Wysocki went to the District Attorney and asked her to get the Attorney General to help investigate Ronin Gibbons. The DA warns that this would be declaring war on Gibbons and Colvin said she was not backing down.

GOD'S MACHINE "TURNING" the Ages : EGYPTIAN SKY GODS SUSPENDED ON POLES
Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages
William S Burroughs
Originally filmed in 1922, this version was updated in the mid 1960's to include english narration by William S Burroughs. The writer and director Benjamin Christensen discloses a historical view of the witches through the seven parts of this silent movie. First, there is a slide-show alternating inter-titles with drawings and paintings to illustrate the behavior of pagan cultures in the Middle Ages regarding their vision of demons and witches. Then there is a dramatization of the situation of the witches in the Middle Ages, with the witchcraft and the witch-hunts. Finally Benjamin Christensen compares the behavior of hysteria of the modern women of 1921 with the behavior of the witches in the Middle Ages, concluding that they are very similar.

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence mocked the media hysteria surrounding Donald Trump's candidacy on Monday night. "Almost every day, they come up with something new and different," he said at an Ashland, Virginia rally. "They say, 'Now we've got him! Now he said this. We can parse that.'""'He tweeted this!'" Pence continued with a laugh. "And then they think they finally got him, and then they turn on the television the next morning and Donald Trump is still standing stronger than ever before and fighting for the American people." "This shit really is fun to watch," he added. The media and it's hate of Donald Trump is absolutely hilarious, because all it's doing for Trump is backfiring on the media and making Trump more popular with the American people. When Hillary is on the mainstream media at a rally or what have you, the ratings of the mainstream media that very hour sink to lows...Unlike when Trump is on the TV. In recent weeks it has been shown that the trust in the mainstream media is only believed around to be six percent in America. The shit is funny with the mainstream media, because America has awoken in 2016 in mass and the mainstream media is dying with Americas awakening. The mainstream media who speaks like they have Trump in a corner really don't have Trump in a corner, as they continually ignore the facts that Support for Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries set records in US election history...And that record of support for a presidential candidate is about to be broken by a few million, when Americans go to vote for Trump in 2016. The mainstream media has become a shit show, because their acting like Trump is losing when he's setting records with support.

More Fairhope residents have come forward with stories about flooding in their neighborhoods since representatives from River Oaks Phase II addressed the city council in May about problems with drainage systems in their subdivision.
Fairfield Pointe Village is a 32-lot mixed use development with single-family homes, condos and townhomes located at the corner of Baldwin County Road 44 and Boothe Road, adjacent to the soccer fields at Founders Park and Fairhope High School. Village resident Shana Cooper said her home flooded twice between 2013 and 2014, while her back yard flooded four times.
Cooper said the subdivision takes on water from two directions, from Cowpen Creek to the north and from Founders Park to the south.
"It is unreal," she said. "If I stepped out my back bedroom I would be swept away."
According to Cooper, other Fairfield Pointe Village residents had two to three feet of water inside their houses and one neighbor had $50,000 to $70,000 in damages after the last flood. Further, she claimed most of the residents didn't have flood insurance until recently.
After her home flooded in July 2013, Cooper said she and three other residents filed an insurance claim against the city for damages incurred during the rain.
"I'm just amazed that the city won't do anything," she said last week. "And with hurricane season coming up, if a hurricane hits us, all hell will break loose."
River Oaks Phase II is a 52-home subdivision located off Boothe Road in Fairhope. Stephen Pecot is a River Oaks resident who has addressed the council on two occasions, at the May 11 meeting and again at a work session May 26.
Pecot and Fairfield Pointe Village Homeowners Association representative Brooks Lyons asked the council for help at its May 26 work session.
"We've had a large amount of damage that began many months ago," Lyons said. "We are starting the process of trying to find out if anything can be done to fix it."
According to Pecot, in the last year a pair of sinkholes has developed along the western easement for drainage in River Oaks Phase II. He said the pipes underneath have collapsed in on themselves, creating an 8-foot-deep, 8-foot-wide set of sinkholes, before water drains to a retention pond. He said the asphalt and rock road behind the easement also is causing sedimentation to go into the retention pond.
"It all starts right around where the new retention pond is around Winn-Dixie," Pecot said. "That drain goes down to the west side of our subdivision to Cowpen Creek, and it all ends up down at Fairfield Pointe Village."
River Oaks residents have looked into having a private company fix the sinkholes, and Pecot said that of the four they called, only one gave them an estimate. He said the $25,000 to $30,000 estimate divided among 52 households would cost about $500 per homeowner. He said it would just be a temporary fix if nearby subdivisions did not make repairs to their drainage systems.
"Our biggest concern is that we will spend this money, then the other subdivisions will still drain into ours," he said. "We don't want to spend $30,000 this year and then next year, with regular rainfall, have even more sinkholes develop."
Council President Jack Burrell said the city must consider what is best for all of its citizens, noting that it has no business getting into a dispute between neighbors.
"We have to look at what it costs the city of Fairhope, not because we are greedy but because we have to protect the people's interests," Burrell said. "If we go out and fix something that really is not our responsibility, then we'll have to start throwing out money left and right every time somebody has an issue. We have to be smart about how we do that."
Mayor Tim Kant said when subdivisions are built, the drainage systems are turned over to the homeowners for maintenance.
"Unless the laws change, once the city touches a drainage pipe or a ditch or digs out a retention pond in a subdivision, it becomes the city's," Kant said. "These devices, and retention ponds, and pipes have always been given to the homeowners. It always happens, after 25 years the pipes start rusting and problems start coming, then they look to the city to fix the problem."
Burrell said councilors would need to consult the city's engineer and attorney to find out what steps are appropriate for the city in this case.
"Anything we touch, if we go in and start moving rocks or pipes or making improvements, then we become the owner," Burrell said. "Anything that happens after that, from here to eternity, we have to take care of it. That's a big concern to me. We have to be cautious about what projects we take on. We want to help out, but only to the extent that we can and should."
For Pecot, getting neighboring subdivisions to tackle drainage problems has been difficult. Kant said the city needs to work on making sure the letters it sends to neighboring subdivisions have "some teeth" so they will get on board.
"We want to get ideas from the city about how our subdivision can be helped," Pecot said. "I'm not an engineer, I'm just a landowner. We are here asking you guys for help."
Kant said damages occur in places like Fairfield Pointe Village when the city's older drainage systems are filled after heavy rain events that have occurred more often than they used to.
"What happens over time is that those retention ponds were built for 25-year or 50-year storms and now we are getting those kinds of storms regularly," he said. "Once they fill with water and then more water comes, that's when you see the destruction like in Fairfield. When it comes, it comes like a wave."

Remember those guys in high school who were always faster and stronger than you? Odds are they have gotten heavier and rounder since the "good 'ole days". Odds are also good that a few of them, despite the added bulk of beer-enhanced physiques and the physical toll that comes with aging, they are probably still faster and stronger.
The 2011 Infiniti QX56 is a full-size luxury SUV which has been redesigned and is now in its second generation. It has gone from a sharply-angled, powerful box and turned into a rounded, slightly bulbous behemoth. It's "grown up" a bit on the inside, looks like it weighs more, and fills out the sheet metal a little more tightly. However, it can still kick your ass down the road and feels like a sports car from behind the driver's seat.
Finally blending in with the rest of the family, the 2011 Infiniti QX56 adopts the fluid lines that the rest of the family wear now that the 2011 M started going to the same tailor. There is now no mistaking the QX56 as any other vehicle. The design stands alone in this class and I believe it to be a polarizing one. You are either going to love it or hate it…and personally, I love it. The proportions are all correct for a vehicle of this size and all the lines flow beautifully. The grille seems to be slammed into the front end while the large headlights arch back into the plus-size fenders. The window frame appears to be stretched backward and shaped by the wind, while the blacked out pillars give the whole upper section of the QX56 a tinted greenhouse appearance. The one misstep on the exterior however, is the chromed fender vent. Either paint it black or get rid of it all together. It doesn't need to be there as the curvature of the body helps keep the eye moving while the vent does just the opposite.
Since the QX56 is a full-fledged luxury SUV, it has to have a well-outfitted interior space. It does…and then some. Dark leather and rich wood fill the front of the cabin, creating a warm and rather comfortable environment. All the modern tech goodies are present and accounted for including the standard AroundView™ monitor system which helps provide me with views from any angle I need. This is a plus since that shapely window frame, which looks great outside, provides quick a view blocker in the form of the wide D-pillar. The second row of seats recline a bit which helps promote the comforting atmosphere throughout the cabin. If my rear seat passengers get tired of my droning, they can pop on the Bose headphones and watch a movie. The 13-speaker, dual subwoofer sound system provides an excellent auditory experience for anyone not using the headphones. This is exactly the type of vehicle you want to be in on long trips.
The exterior is finally up to date and the interior is world-class luxurious, but the best part of the all-new 2011 Infiniti QX56 is easily the new power plant under the hood. Infiniti has created a new version of their 5.6L V8 engine which is a direct-injection unit that provides 25% more power and 10% better fuel economy than the old model. Helping with those fuel-economy numbesr are the weight and the new transmission. Earlier I said it looks heavier but this is not the case. The 4WD unit is actually 161 lbs lighter than the outgoing QX. Also, the previous QX56 employed a five-speed automatic while the 2011 receives a seven-speed unit with adaptive shift control and downshift rev matching. This redesigned leviathan is now propelled down the road rather briskly thanks to 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque, and it's capable of towing up to 8,500 lbs when equipped correctly. You would think a luxury automaker wants to keep things quiet but that is not the case here. The QX56 isn't loud but Infiniti did not cover up the glorious noises their new engine produces. For those folks that are not fans of the mechanical tune produced by the smaller VQ engines (370Z/G37), then you will love the V8 bellow heard here. For a nearly 6,000 lb beast, the 2011 Infiniti QX56 gets up and devours the road.
The sensation of speed is always cranked a few notches when hurtling down the highway in a full-size SUV. The QX, however, has a responsive feel to the steering which is very welcome in this application. Further aiding in the confidence are the large (13.8″ discs front and rear) brakes and the new Hydraulic Body Motion Control system. The HBMC reduces lean during cornering thanks to a system of hydraulic chambers which are cross-linked to allow the fluid to flow from one side to the other. This controls suspension travel at each shock absorber and works to counteract body lean. The result is a smooth and comfortable ride at 8 or 80.
The 2011 Infiniti QX56 is a true pleasure both behind the wheel or in any of the seven (or, with the optional 2nd row bench, eight) seats. It manages to by stand-out stylish even when it conjures up Chris Farley's classic fat-guy-in-a-little-coat scene. It's an older, more mature QX56 yet it better, stronger, and faster as well. With new content, a new engine, and a new exterior style, you would expect the 2011 Infiniti QX56 to be priced higher than the last model. You would also be wrong. The price is the same as the previous generation QX56 with theMSRPs of the RWD starting at $56,700 and the 4WD starting at $59,800. Everything about this Japanese battleship has it competing with the best that Germany has to offer.
As I said before, I think the opinions of the masses regarding the style are going to be split down the middle between love or hate. One thing we can all agree on however, the blend of power and luxury found in the 2011 Infiniti QX56 are top notch and should leave ze Germans feeling a little erschrocken.

Mangaluru, May 02, 2018: The Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) will start break bulk and piecemeal wagon-based freight service between Mangaluru and Goa within a week, Joseph George, Chief Manager (Strategy, Planning and Business Development), KRCL, said here on Friday.
Speaking at an interactive session with traders at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), he said that the service in Mangaluru would be started either from Thokuru or Surathkal railway station to Verna station in Goa.
He said that one wagon would carry 120 tonnes of cargo in round the trip (to and fro) between Mangaluru and Goa. Hence a wagon initially would take only 60 tonnes of cargo in one-way.
An aggregator would collect and deliver the break bulk and piecemeal cargo from traders and others. The goods thus collected would be carried in a wagon. Hence, a trader cannot book the cargo directly with the KRCL.
"The freight charges will be competitively priced. It will be cheaper than the Ro Ro service which has reached the saturation level," KRCL's George said.
He said that this service would specifically help such traders sending or receiving small quantity of cargo and who cannot afford booking a wagon as a whole as it would be costlier.
Replying to a question, he said that traders would have to bear the loading and unloading cost from end to end in addition to the freight charges of the KRCL. All charges would be collected by the aggregator.
He said that if the response to the service is encouraging, the service from Mangaluru would be extended till Kolad in Maharasthra. When some traders pointed out that the proposed service would be viable and would help traders only if the service was introduced between Mangaluru and Mumbai, Mr. George said that it would be taken up with the management of the KRCL.
S. Vinay Kumar, Regional Traffic Manager, KRCL, Mangaluru, said that it would be a good business opportunity for a person to become an aggregator to collect and deliver the goods. He said that Thokuru station also had the infrastructure facilities for handling the cargo. Vathika Pai, president, KCCI spoke.

The Blow Up Hall 5050 – Poland
At this odd hotel in Poland you get an iPhone instead of a traditional key to open doors, operate tv's and turn lights on and off, etc. You're also filmed while in your room….a little creepy if you ask me. All of the rooms are different — some are completely white others are more normal looking. You don't know which room you're going to get until you check in and pick a card which will tell you your room. The hotel is a work of art and then they ask you to participate in making new art (the being filmed part).Weird.

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

Rested in French oak casks that once held the finest Mas Cristine Cotes du Rousillion red wine. Sip and savour over ice or make a great G&T.- Learn more about Firkin Gin
At FIRKIN, we've always been about making something deliciously different. Our early days were spent in the family kitchen, huddled around a little pot still, experimenting with weird and wonderful gin-making techniques.
After months of tinkering, tasting, combining and refining, our quest for perfection was complete with the creation of our classic signature gin. From there, we expanded our range and delivered even more premium spirits – and received a hatful of awards in return.
Today, that wee pot still is a romantic reminder of our humble beginnings. We may have moved out of the kitchen into our Edinburgh still room, but our thirst for knowledge is still as strong, and we continue to put the gee-whiz into G&T, creating new gins bursting with unique character and FIRKIN amazing flavour.View the Firkin Gin page

The two packs of "Cultists", with some of our figures as a size comparison.
Forest Indians
Indian Warrior Queen (on right).
Indian Maiden Guard - four different poses.
I made a small order with SHQ Miniatures (in the UK) recently to check out some of their packs I had been interested in for some time. The Ancient Indian packs were once part of Newline Designs.
The cultists are slightly large and also slightly bestial with longish arms and clawed fingernails. No faces are visible and one wonders if they have any vestiges of humanity left under those cowls! In other words, they are perfect "cultist" figures! :-)
In My Tékumel I will be using them for followers of the Pariah Gods.
Also of interest are a few packs from the Ancient Indian range:
The Forest Indians will make nice proxies, possibly for tribesmen from the Gilráya Forests in south-eastern Tsolyánu. There is really no information on these tribes and they are only mentioned in passing a couple of times. The figures size up nicely with ours and are clean shaven which is nice. Sadly, there is only the one pack of these guys.
Next up is the Warrior Queen, available on foot or in a chariot. Again the figure is quite nice, if simple in design. I like the scale hauberk especially.
Lastly, the Maiden Guard which are a part of most Ancient Indian ranges. There are four leg poses which adds some nice variety.
There are a few other parts of the SHQ range I would like to explore at some point. There is a Han Chinese range that includes "HCL29 Sitting Tiger Catapult and 5 Crew". No picture though. There are convict and tribal figures in the Chinese ranges that might prove useful in the future...

This is a guest post by Linda Barnickel.
Although I had my DNA tested with Ancestry over a year ago, I only recently discovered the wealth of information accessible through two unobtrusive links to be found on each individual match page.
Predicted Relationships
Choose one of your individual matches and go to that page. Click on "What does this mean?" next to the "Possible range" of relationship.
A pop-up window will appear with more information.
This box provides me with information about how and why AncestryDNA believes that I have a 3rd cousin relationship with this particular individual, including an estimated accuracy of this prediction (98%).
Scrolling down – and this is where the real value of this pop-up window becomes clear – it details exactly what a 3rd cousin type of relationship looks like between me and my match. It helps me know where on our pedigree we should look for our lines to merge through a common ancestor.
But it doesn't stop there!
In fact, it goes on to explain to me eight different possible variations on how my match and I might be related, and provides a similar graphic chart (like the 2nd cousins, 2x removed chart above), to help me trace and envision that relationship.
I've summarized all eight possibilities by listing the predicted relationship, and the common ancestor, below:
- 3rd cousins = great-great-grandparent
- 2nd cousins (2x removed) = 3x great-grandparent
- 3rd cousins (1x removed) = great-great-grandparent
- 2nd cousins (3x removed) = great-grandparent
- 1st cousins (1x removed) = 3x great-grandparent
- 4th cousins = 3x great-grandparent
- 3rd cousins (2x removed) == 4x great-grandparent
- 2nd cousins (4x removed) = great-grandparent
By looking at all of these possible variations, I can group the results as follows:
- 2 possibilities where my match and I could link as close as our great-grandparent
- 2 possibilities where we could link at our great-great-grandparent
- 3 possibilities where we could link at our great-great-great-grandparent
- 1 possibility where we could link as far back as our great-great-great-great-grandparent
This tells me that there are four different generations in play, where we might match. It also tells me that the most-distant linkage of a 4x great-grandparent, is also the least likely, since this relationship is only 1 out of 8 possible variants. There is a stronger likelihood of linking within the great- or great-great ranges, since half of the possible results fall within these two ranges.
The information provided by the Predicted Relationship "What Does This Mean?" button can aid my search for a shared common ancestor in so many ways. This route to more information should not be overlooked!
Confidence Level
The second subtle link on my individual match page is the small info button, located at the end of the line indicating the Confidence of the predicted match.
Click on this info button, and you'll get a small pop-up which will tell you how much of your DNA you share with your match.
The higher the number of centimorgans, and the greater the number of segments, the closer you and your match are related.
Again, clicking on the "What does this mean" link provided in the black pop-up box takes you to a more detailed explanation, using the fictional match of "Bruce Bule" as an illustration.
Keep reading in this box, and you'll encounter this very helpful chart, explaining the terms AncestryDNA uses to define the Confidence in their prediction of relationship.
This is followed by another very helpful chart, which gives further information about the predicted degree of relationship based upon the number of shared centimorgans.
The initial small black pop-up box told me that my match JW and I shared 165 centimorgans and predicted we were third cousins. Looking at this chart, I can see that 165 centimorgans does indeed fall squarely within the predicted range of a 3rd cousin relationship.
Throughout both the Predicted Match and the Confidence Level screens, Ancestry also provides additional helpful links throughout, and more information than what can be summarized and illustrated here.
Be sure to investigate the Predicted Match and Confidence Level links for your own matches; it may give you the additional guidance you need to discern your relationship and common ancestor with some of your new-found cousins!

In the history of college football there have been just 15 players to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. That number may begin to increase a little more frequently now as college football adds more games to the schedule. With the addition of the College Football Playoff, the top two teams in college football could be about to play a 15-game season (12 regular season games, conference championship game, two College Football Playoff games), and star running backs on those teams will have a chance to pad the rushing totals like never before. For Georgia running back Todd Gurley, that is an exciting thought.
"If I could get 2,000 yards, that would be awesome," Gurley said Thursday at Southeastern Conference media days (via The Telegraph). "If the Lord would bless me with that, oh my gosh. That's going to be pretty hard to do in the SEC."
Gurley is one of the nation's top running backs, when healthy. Health was not so kind to him last season, but the expectations for the upcoming season are high. Despite missing three games in 2014, Gurley still led Georgia in rushing with 989 yards and 10 touchdowns. Getting to 2,000 rushing yards in a single season seems like a tall order, especially when you throw in the mix the likelihood Georgia mixes things up running the football with a talented Keith Marshall looking to get involved more in 2014. And that is just assuming Gurley stays healthy. Even if he does stay healthy, the odds Gurley puts up the kind of rushing numbers needed just to get to 2,000 yards may not be great. Gurley's career high for rushing yards in a single game is 154 yards, which he did in last season's season opener against Clemson.
Boston College running back Andre Williams is the newest member of the 2,000-yard club in college football. Since 2000, seven players have rushed for 2,000 yards in a season. The first to do so was Marcus Allen of USC in 1981. Barry Sanders holds the single-season rushing record with 2,628 rushing yards in 1988. Will a possible 15-game season by a star college running back of today's era threaten the record held by Sanders? Perhaps at some point, but even a 15-game season would require quite a workload by even the best running backs in the country.
Just getting to 2,000 yards is an accomplishment in itself. It is not impossible for Gurley, or any running back in 2014, but the odds it happens are not good.

From bison to fossils, Badlands National Park has a lot of appeal to kids. Located in southwestern portion of South Dakota, the park's 381 square miles feature bizarre rock formations that tower above the Great Plains. The summer months may be the best time to enjoy Badlands National Park with the Kids, because numerous ranger-led programs run from Memorial Day Weekend to just after Labor Day Weekend.
1Stop in the Ben Reifel Visitor Center and White River Visitor Center to experience the hands-on exhibits of fossils and rocks. There's also a tipi village near the Ben Reifel Visitor Center.
2Participate in one or more of the ranger-led programs. Daily programs include:
- A 45-minute geology walk through the White River Badlands.
- A short fossil talk at Fossil Exhibit Trail.
- A 1/2-mile prairie walk that departs from the Ben Reifel Visitor Center.
3Sign up for the Junior Ranger Program at the Ben Reifel Visitor Center.
- During summer, kids who are 7 � 12 years old can participate in the 45-minute activity to receive a Junior Ranger Badge.
- At other times of year, a booklet can be completed to receive the Junior Ranger Badge.
4Engage in wildlife viewing activities.
- Head to Sage Creek Rim Road to view the roaming bison.
- Look for bighorn sheep climbing the rock formations in the Pinnacles area or near Cedar Pass.
- Watch for antelope sprinting up to 60 mph (97 km/h) from the Badlands Loop Road.
5Hike along some of the park's trails, which are shorter than a mile in length.
- Fossil Exhibit Trail, Window Trail and Saddle Pass are each only a quarter-mile in length.
- Door Trail is an easy 3/4-mile route.
- The half-mile Cliff Shelf is a more moderate route that includes a 200-foot rise in elevation.
6Picnic at the tables provides at the White River Visitor Center, Bigfoot Pass Picnic Area or Conata Picnic Area.
7Visit the Cedar Pass Campground Amphitheater for evening activities.
- Listen to the presentation on certain weeknights. Depending on the topic, it lasts up to an hour.
- View the night sky as a park ranger identifies stars, constellations and planets. This program begins once it's dark.
8Stay overnight in the park.
- Cedar Pass Campground features flush toilets, running water, covered picnic tables and a dump station. The nightly fee is $14. The more primitive Sage Creek Campground is free, but it only has pit toilets and no running water.
- Cedar Pass Lodge has accommodations, a restaurant and gift shop.
Community Q&A
- Always wear closed-toed shoes and a hat while you enjoy Badlands National Park with the kids.
- Bring binoculars for the night sky program and daytime activities.
- Don't venture on a hike without adequate drinking water, especially during the summertime.
- It's illegal to remove fossils, rocks, minerals, plants, arrowheads or other cultural objects from Badlands National Park.
- Campfires aren't permitted in the park.

Scarecrow and Mrs. King Scripts
If you are interested in reading scripts from Scarecrow and Mrs. King, PDF files can be found on the fanpage smk-land.com. You can find them in the "Steno Pool" section, but you must sign-in first, because the scripts are password protected. I submitted some from my own personal collection. I enjoy reading the scripts and "seeing" the differences of what made it on the screen and what was cut. There are also a few never filmed episodes and the original "Honeymoon" episode before Kate Jackson's illness forced a rewrite and was changed to where she was shot and not in most of the scenes, except for a few short moments. Now, I am grateful Kate caught her cancer early and is a cancer survivor, but how much a difference it would have made to the final six episodes had she not been sick.

As someone in the middle of a transition between Exchange 2007 SP3 and Exchange 2010 SP1, I have to ask; MS Exchange Team, what were you smoking when you came up with the interoperability options here?
2003 to 2007 was pretty decent, you could deploy your 2007 CAS servers more-or-less directly in place of your 2003 OWA front-end servers and they would happily serve 2003 mailboxes up to people. Management tool interop was lacking a bit, but that was excusable as 2007 was, at least, a totally new set of tools based on .NET/Powershell and they generally wouldn't let you do anything to a 2003 mailbox that would break it horribly.
With 2007 to 2010 though, you can't do any of that. You have to keep your 2007 CAS and HT servers around because the 2010 ones won't play nice with 2007 mailbox servers, but then the 2010 CAS servers can't connect to 2007 mailboxes. Except they can, if you copy the 2007 binaries onto them. Except that only works if there isn't a 2007 CAS server in the same AD site as the 2010 CAS server. So, short of creating new AD sites for all your 2010 mailbox servers you have to have at least one AD site with both 2010 & 2007 CAS servers, which works OK internally, but if you're publishing to the internets (and who isn't these days?) then you start to run into issues. There are various articles about this (like this one) but basically you have to create a new internet-facing DNS entry for the 2007 CAS, move the 2010 to the old internet-facing DNS name, change the ExternalURL value on the 2007 CAS to match the new DNS name, change the internal DNS so that there's an entry for the new DNS name (because Exchange treats other AD sites as "External" as well), buy a new trusted SSL Certificate for the new DNS name (or wildcard it) and pray to God that you're only publishing 2007 CAS servers from a single AD site; otherwise it gets so complicated that your brain will try and kill itself to escape.
If you think that sounds bad, then wait; it gets better! You can't use the 2010 management tools (which are now 64-bit only – unless you enjoy Powershell Remoting) to manage 2007 mailboxes. Well that's not entirely true, you can so some things, just not everything and it's the same with using the 2007 tools on 2010 mailboxes. It's all documented on The MSExchangeTeam Blog and it's a huge mess – if your helpdesk staff (or whoever else manages your mailboxes day-to-day) aren't really on the ball there's a good chance you'll run into problems while the 2007->2010 transition is in progress.
All this is in addition to all the subtle syntax changes they've made to a lot of the management Cmdlets so that things which were valid commands in 2007 don't quite work properly in 2010; I'm looking at you, Import-ExchangeCertificate – let's go from importing a CA-supplied .cer file to importing the binary contents of said file as a Byte Array supplied as a command line argument, because that's much easier.
I really like Exchange – 2007 SP1 onwards was top-notch – and 2010 has some great new functionality, but they've really dropped the ball when it comes to installation, upgrading, migrating and transitioning.

30+ Sweet Dog Names for a Chocolate Labrador Retriever
The best part about a chocolate Lab? They seem to fit in wherever you want to take them. The dogs are naturally intelligent, strong, and handsome. Their rich brown coats make them a favorite with almost everyone they meet, and their personalities have made them one of the most popular dogs around the world.
The best part about chocolate? Kind of like the Chocolate Lab, almost everyone loves it. Most people list chocolate as one of their favorite addictions. It may be sweet, but there are a lot of other benefits to eating chocolate.
And what is the best part about chocolate? It is a "green" food. No, I am not talking about the overpriced organic chocolate harvested by Juan Valdez (or whoever) in the forests of Ecuador. I am talking about all chocolate.
Cocoa trees require shade. When planting coffee or clearing land for pasture, the land can't be clear cut. With cocoa, the large trees are left to provide shade and control excessive winds. If not for cocoa plantations, the last areas of the Atlantic rainforest would have been destroyed to make way for lucrative crops like coffee.
The Golden Lion Tamarin is only one of the animals who benefits from the chocolate plantations. All animals, as well as all humans, benefit every time you enjoy chocolate.
So name your chocolate dog with pride, and when anyone asks, let them know that your dog is also green! Here are some good choices:
Sweet Names for Chocolate Labradors
AJ (Almond Joy)
Puff (Cocao Puff)
Some regions have special candy bars, and I may have left off your favorite. If you want to use that name, be sure that it has two syllables. (For example, if you want to use "Godiva" you should always call your dog "Diva." The best names for training your dog are those like "Chunky" and "Hershey" because they have a vowel sound at the end.)
If none of these chocolate names appeal to you, take a look at these outlaw and boxer names. All of the names on thesese lists will be easy for your dog to respond to.
Chocolate Comes From Brazil
You can also consider naming your dog after the original source of the chocolate tree: Brazil (Brasil).
The original chocolate trees were found in the Amazon and pre-Columbian traders carried them all over the Americas. The Spaniards first came into contact with chocolate in Mexico.
The chocolate industry in Brazil began several hundred years ago. Along the "Cocoa coast" in the northeast of Brazil, large plantations were established in the rich soil. Today Brazil is only the fourth-largest producer of cocoa beans for several reasons. The main reason, and one that every cocoa producer will point out, is the "witches broom" fungus.
If the fungus spreads to all of the cocoa-producing areas, the price of chocolate will skyrocket. Either that or an affordable solution will be found.
I'm hoping for a solution, but would still have chocolate occasionally, no matter what the price.
General Dog Naming Tips
- Do not give your dog a long name.
- Don't give him a stupid name that will be embarrassing down the road. No dog should be named "Piddles" because of an accident on the rug.
- Even if your dog is the most popular breed in the world, he does not deserve an overused dog name. Max, Charlie, and Harley are fine for someone else's dog. Hershey probably deserves to be on there for Chocolate Labs! Find something special for your dog—he deserves it!
© 2013 Dr Mark
You drew me in on this fun article with the word chocolate. So I have two more names to add to your list: A.J. (for Almond Joy bars) and Chip, which would be my first choice, actually.
Great hub! I love how you have incorporated the benefits of chocolate with the names for chocolate labs. There are some really good one in your list! You are right, they deserve a good name and not one that is overused. Growing up I had a three-legged lab named Brownie. He adopted us when we were very young and lived until we were in high school.
Up and more and sharing
Faith Reaper
Such a cute hub! Love the video and the list of names are great! Some I would not have come up with. Nice job!
This is a wonderful hub and thank you for sharing this gem.
The names I am sure will benefit many readers.
Voting up.
This is a sweet hub. Chocolate and dogs are my two favorite things. It would be quite fitting to have a Chocolate Lab. I only have room for small dogs and favor the Jack Russell Terriers and Chihuahuas currently as my companions. I never meant a dog I wasn't drawn too, or them to me. Labs are a special breed. I've known many and they are quite people friendly. Good topic. Voted up.
Chocolate tea doesn't sound too appetizing, but mint chocolate tea has a nice ring to it.
I don't drink flavored coffees and teas. I like them just the way God intended them to be consumed...pulverized, granulized, hydrolized, thermalized, and served through a drive-up window for a ridiculous price.
This hub doesn't get a hub score, it gets a calorie count! Nice sentiments for a great dog. We have one living next door and she's a sweeheart...as far as I can remember the most laid back dog I've known.
But her name, interestingly, flies in the face of this terrific hub. I've told you about her before and you recognized the blood line. Her name is Ice Tea and she's from the Long Island Ice Tea line. Her name, I guess, is actually several words long, but shortened to Ice Tea.
This is a great hub, full of interesting information, and a tribute to a wonderful breed. Voted up, useful and interesting.
Funny- when I saw the title, the first name I thought of was Hershey, as I knew a lab with that name and then I saw that it is an overused name. I also saw Toffee on there! That's my one dog's name too. I've heard that before- about naming dogs with a vowel sound at the end for training. How odd though! But, all of our dogs (except for Duke) have the sound at the end. And we sometimes call Duke, Dukey. THanks for posting!
Love it! So creative Dr. Mark. Chocolate Labs are intelligent, gentle and gorgeous. Wonka was one of my favorite suggestions. Happy National Dog Day!
