We've always been hockey fans first, my brothers, my father and I.
We played the game as kids, in the driveway and on outdoor rinks, pretending to be members of our beloved Montreal Canadiens. My Dad took us to as many games at the old Forum as he could get tickets for, just as his father had taken him. It was a family thing.
Even as adults, the four of us have always bonded over hockey. We're spread out in four different cities now and communicate mostly by email, firing off regular dispatches about last night's game, the state of the team and the plans for our next hockey-related road trip.
When we're together and the game is on, we're watching it.
But something strange is happening to hockey — and us, too. As the NHL suffers through its fourth work stoppage since 1992 — and having priced us out of the market as consistent ticket buyers long ago — we find ourselves drawn to another sport with just as much Canadian history: football.
We all played the game. My Dad was a quarterback on some championship teams in his hometown (and never tires of telling the stories). His three boys were more unskilled bulky types, filling a succession of lineman roles through high school. The title I won — the 1990 Centennial Spartans, baby! — remains one of the highlights of my glory days.
The fan thing is a more recent development. We followed the CFL in a kind of loose way that all sports-mad kids do, but it wasn't until Dad bought season tickets for the Alouettes about 15 years ago that the game really began to take hold.
Then four years ago, I started covering the Hamilton Tiger-Cats full-time as my day job and fully immersed myself in the league and its culture.
And I really like what I've found.
The CFL is the most fan-friendly professional league on the planet, with reasonable prices, a manageable schedule and unprecedented access to players. Because it's gate-driven — 70 per cent of league revenues come from ticket sales, not TV contracts — the CFL needs there to be a visceral, personal connection between its teams and their fans and it can't ever lose sight of their interests. Hockey lost its fan-focus long ago.
If you want to see the CFL dynamic in action, check out the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto this week. You'll find roughly an equal number of family-friendly and beer-friendly events — visit www.100thgreycupfestival.ca for details — and the unifying power of football on this country is on full display. There will be people from every corner of Canada drawn together and celebrating a uniquely Canadian thing.
Of course, people in this region are about to get a year-long taste of what CFL football is all about. The Ticats announced this week that they will be playing their 2013 games at the University of Guelph while they wait for their new stadium to be built on the current Ivor Wynne site. The team will expand the seating capacity of Alumni Stadium and the University of Guelph and shoehorn as many Black and Gold fans into the place as they can manage.
The Ticats are a team with a long history and some unique traditions. From Angelo Mosca and Danny McManus to Pigskin Pete and the Box J Boys, it's an eclectic, entertaining cast of characters: once you've mastered the "Oskee Wee Wee" chant, it will be stuck in your brain pan forever.
My brother emailed the other day to say he might be done with hockey. The lockout, he says, is the final straw in a slow breakup brought on by astronomical ticket prices and a persistent sense that his fandom didn't matter any more. He's going to the Grey Cup this year, along with my other brother and my Dad.
And he's thinking about a different kind of road trip next year: to Grey Cup 2013 in Regina. I've warned him that it will be both freezing and rollicking, because the Saskatchewan fans have a well-earned reputation for rabidness.
That's OK, he wrote back. It's what fans do.

There are generally some breakfast items in the kitchen which you are welcomed to help yourself to...cereal, bread, jam, tea, coffee.
Thank you for reading!
Guest Access
1. Thomson plaza is nearby and holds everything you need: all shops + a clean food court serving local food, Starbucks with outside terrace and more western eateries, grocery store, laundromat, etc .
2. You can either walk to the nearby Marymount Station or jump on a bus at Thomson Plaza (shopping mall) which is just a few minutes walk from their house. It includes a great grocery store (Fair Price), restaurants, banks and Starbucks!
The public transportation in Singapore is amazing and you have quick access to either the MRT train system or the bus systems, just make sure to get a card for the bus and MRT (tap in on entering and tap off when exiting) one card works for both.
3.The apartment is equipped with a really clean and modern bathroom. The kitchen and house is kept fresh and clean because we have a domestic helper . The flat has many windows which gives the apartment a bright feeling.
Interaction with Guests
Plenty of interaction with guests or none if they prefer it that way as well. Normally, we like to be as hospitable as possible.
The Neighborhood
Neighborhood consists:
- Blend of the original Singapore where shophouses and local businesses maintain the color of local life
- Supermarket within 5 mins of walk
- Restaurants (Chinese,Italian, Malay,Korean, Hong Kong, Japanese,Vietnam) and Pubs within 5 to 15 mins of walk
- Affordable Local Unique Cuisine Food Centre
- Shopping Centre and Cinema within 10-15 minute bus ride
1) See the photos for more images on the neighborhood
2) The convenience of being close to the downtown area but not being engulfed by the noise and hustle.
3) A lot of options to eat, and I mean a lot!
4) A beautiful park where you can take an evening stroll, play football/soccer, practice qi gong (5 am every morning), and meditate by the pond if that's your thing.
5) Singapore's largest Buddhist Monastery : Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery. (That's a mouthful)
6) Kebun Baru Market at 226D Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, Singapore 564226
This market in Ang Mo Kio has been recently renovated. Handily located next to the shopping centre. Known for great meat, particularly chicken
Fatboy's The Burger Bar
One of the top burger joints in Singapore, it gets especially packed on weekends. We suggest American-style burgers like the Fat Basterd ($16) and Bolly Wooly ($11) - handsome, both in presentation and size.
Cotton Bleu
Expect superb home-style French fare in a cozy ambiance at this three-month old establishment, which makes a choice spot for an intimate gathering. Their no-fuss menu of tapas ($8), starters ($12) and mains ($24) scored points with us. They've also got set meals for lunch and dinner. Try the scallops on rosemary skewers ($12) and rack of lamb ($24). If you're into vino, their wine list offers French, Australian and Chilean options.
La Petite Cuisine
Known for its French food at affordable prices, this popular eatery is the second outlet of Le Petite Cuisine. This humble little restaurant serves up dishes such as tender dory fish with fragrant white wine sauce and butter rice for just $12.50. Other standouts include pan-fried foie gras paired with orange confit ($18) and duck confit served with French fries ($16.50) - the ultra crispy texture of the duck skin is just yum.
Old School Delights
Truly old school and truly delightful - stepping into Old School Delights makes you feel like you've been transported back to a simpler time with benches and chalkboards. Have a bowl of their much-raved about mee siam ($4.50) or try out their cakes, such as grandma's butter cake ($2.80) and seriously dark chocolate cake ($4.20), while you sit back and reminisce about bygone times.
Our Bread Garden
Hot selling local favorites like curry buns ($1.60) and otah buns ($1.80) can be found here.
This bakery also prides itself on producing homemade bread with no preservatives, chemical additives or artificial essence - making this little hide-out a great place for no-fuss, healthy and very affordable afternoon tea.
Salted Caramel
This ice cream store may only have a few flavors on its menu, but that's good enough to keep us coming back for more. You have to give their salted caramel ice cream a go, but the rum and raisin is another standout with its pleasantly sharp alcoholic taste balanced well with sweetness. It's a mere $2.50 per scoop - talk about a steal.
While their décor could do with some improvement, their ice cream is a real winner.
You can watch them whip the mixture into shape with spatulas on an open counter.
The shop owner claims this method reduces the air content in ice cream and increases solidity, giving rise to slower-melting and chewier ice cream. We love the durian ice cream, with a texture reminiscent of actual durian flesh. Other flavors worth a try are the avocado, rum and raisin and jackfruit. $2.90 per scoop.
Stevo's Salads 'n' Such
The rustic, laidback feel of Perth is what owner Stephen brings to you here. Their chili mussels ($10) complemented by a tasty sauce with tomato chunks are delightfully succulent, and their extensive salad selection (from $6.50) includes unconventional options like apple coleslaw along with classics like Caesar salad. If you fancy spicy food, give their buffalo wings heat challenge (from $8.50) a go.
Getting around
There are 2 bus stops that get you almost anywhere in Singapore. They are a 2-3 minute walk from the house.
The nearest MRT is Marymount and the second nearest is Bishan MRT. Both are accessible by a direct bus.

My stay at Sam's was awesome! I stayed there for 2 months, the room was extremely clean and bright - just the way I like it. Sam's been a great host with her generosity and hospitality. Sam's family members are all beautiful people inside and out! I'll definitely come back and stay again.
My stay with Arif and his family was awesome, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys feeling part of a family. The room was very comfortable with lots of space and a strong aiir conditioning unit the shower and bathroom is very clean at all times. There is a modern shopping mall within a 10 minute walk, as well as bus stops and a bus route that can get you to the MRT, within 2.stops. I will definitely be staying again with Arif and his family when I return to Singapore, and I thank them for their kind hospitality and thoughtfulness.
I stayed with the Khan family for a week last month and am glad i chose to do so! They are extremely friendly, hospitable and I can't think of even one reason to complain. My stay was comfortable and very much at home like.
Thank you Arif!
This was my second stay with Arif. As expected, Arif and the rest of the family were just awesome. If your travels bring you to Singapore and you're looking for a place to say, I would highly recommend you to consider Arif's place.
I had a wonderful stay in Arif's apartment, which is even more spacious, gleaming and well-organised than it appears in the photos. All the family were friendly and helpful when needed, and the home has a great buzz about it- everyone seems engaged in a full life. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and everything felt sparkling new. The second room seemed just as good. The wifi worked very well, and they were extremely understanding of my hefty cloud-backup requirements. Overall the home is like a distillation of all that is best about modern Singapore.
I was just looking for a bed in Singapore on my house hunting trip. I picked this one in order to understand the commute to work in real life not only on Saturday morning …
What I got was some really good friends + a good understanding of the commute.
Arif and his family make this lovely tea according to their own recipe and I advised them to take it to market, you will love it. The biggest asset to this BnB is the host family and the maid. They all show an interest in your background and help you get settled in, attributing to get you up to speed with their own specialty. Conversations will touch on real estate, local HR practices and the easiest way to commute to a certain place. All in all this family is a good friendly starting point into Singapore.
The apartment is brand new, well done and clean, the bathroom holds a shower,sink and toilet.
The room itself is bright, with a desk to get some work done a new AC and enough space to fit your belongings. Wi-Fi was available throughout the apartment.
The location is somewhat close to Orchard Road, 15 min. cab.
The Thomson plaza is nearby and holds everything you need: all shops + a clean food court serving local food, Starbucks with outside terrace and more western eateries. The laundry can be easily done, while visiting a pedicure for a reasonable price, massage is also available.
I would definitely recommend this place to friends.

Nearly Half of Americans Pirate Casually, But Pirates Purchase More Legal Content

Only a narrow majority support piracy punishments, while nearly half of people pirate
The latest edition of Columbia University's American Assembly's "Copy Culture" study on piracy and American society has been published and
familiar themes
appear yet again. The study examines
copyright infringement
and public sentiments regarding punishment in the United States and Germany
In the study authored by American Assembly VP
Joe Karaganis
and Dutch freelancer/Ph.D researcher
Lennart Renkema
, it is revealed that 45 percent of U.S. citizens and 46 percent of German citizens actively pirate media. Those rates jump to nearly 70 percent when looking at younger demographics.
When it comes to peer-to-peer (P2P) pirates, the authors note an interesting correlation with legal purchases. They write:
They buy as many legal DVDs, CDs, and subscription media services as their non-file-sharing, Internet-using counterparts. In the US, they buy roughly 30% more digital music. They also display marginally higher willingness to pay.
The authors note that most pirates illegally download casually. They write:
In both countries only 14% of adults have acquired most or all of a digital music or video collection this way. Only 2%–3% got most or all of a large collection this way (>1000 songs or >100 movies / TV shows).
The study also found that while only a smaller percentage (around 22 percent in the U.S. among those under 30) copy privately from friends, the practice is more common in Germany. However, the study points out that most people in the U.S. believe private copying is legal, when in fact it carries severe criminal penalties under current, mostly unenforced, laws.
Piracy tends to be remote and pervasive, but mostly casual.
Germans tend to be more supportive of punishments for pirates; 59 percent of Germans back punishments, while only 52 percent of Americans back punishments for filesharers. In America only 37 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds support such penalties, while in Germany 56 percent of the younger demographic supports the penalties.
Only around 20 percent of people in the U.S. and Germany support stricter penalties, though, such as
disconnecting pirates from the internet
. Most are fine with content providers policing posted content and removing infringing links or sending warnings to pirates. But when it comes to stricter punishments or the premise of the
government stepping in
, support sharply drops off.
Perhaps the most interesting conclusion of the study is just how much support there is in both countries for the idea of offering an unlimited pass to media content for a monthly fee. According to the report:
Sixty-one percent of Germans would pay a small broadband fee to compensate creators in return for legalized file sharing.
Forty-eight percent of Americans would do so—a surprisingly high number given the relative invisibility of such proposals in US debates.
The median willingness to pay was $18.79 per month in the US and €16.43 in Germany.
The study found that Germans were only about half as likely pay for TV or own a smartphone (e.g. 35 percent of Americans own smartphones vs. 18 percent for Germans). A broad range of age groups in both countries own DVDs and CDs, but when it comes to digital media, younger age groups substantially outnumber older ones in ownership.
Americans tend to have larger music and DVD collections.
The study was conducted via telephone interview of 2,303 U.S. adults and 1,000 German adults. All those surveyed were over 18. The study authors make it clear that they were careful in how they worded questions to prevent respondents from feeling pressured to lie about their own piracy habits, a complaint the authors make about other studies.

RE: worth and punishment
And without record companies, music would still be created. It just wouldn't be distributed as effectively.
Perhaps my analogy is not perfect, but it gets the point I'm trying to make across. The nature of digital content makes it inherently worthless. It's the distribution of it that has always made money. You are not required to charge your friends to come over and listen to a song. You can play it as many times as you like for no additional charge. The music is free, the medium is not.
Anyways, I'm just trying to present a different way of looking at it. Music, the internet, and everything around it is entirely a human construct. We can choose to look at "what" it is in anyways we choose. I'm just trying to present a view that I think is fair to everybody. The record companies would still make LOTS of money by focusing on distribution and services, we wouldn't need lawyers or police to enforce any laws, and individuals would be free to access it in any way they choose. The hard way for free, or the easy way for a fee. This is exactly the setup the market is trying to create, and the only thing holding it back is companies with dated business models and the politicians they have in their pockets.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

The Kardashian sisters are constantly traveling and exploring the world but for the first time ever, they are taking a trip to their paternal ancestral homeland of Armenia to get in touch with their roots! Their father, well-known late lawyer Robert Kardashian, was born to Armenian-American parents but the girls never got to experience what life is like in their ancestor's homeland. Khloe, Kim and Kourtney are gathering up the gang and plan to make this a "family" trip. Kim will be bringing baby North with her while Kourt takes Mason, Penelope and Reign. Kanye West is also set to join the Kardashian clan on their trip if his upcoming tour schedule allows for it. There are also supposed to be a bunch of cousins from the Kardashian side that are also taking the trip with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars.
A close family friend reveals, "Visiting Armenia has been on Kim's bucket list forever. They are all so excited! They want to learn about their heritage." They plan to go on an extensive tour of the country to really get a feel for where they come from. Although the details are still being panned out, we are so excited to see pictures from their new adventure!

THE CLASSICAL CIVILIZATIONS (1000 BCE - 600 CE) The period after the decline of river valley civilizations (about 1000 BCE - 600 CE) is often called the classical age. During this era world history was shaped by the rise of several large civilizations that grew from areas where the earlier civilizations thrived. The classical civilizations differ from any previous ones in these ways: 1. They kept better and more recent records, so historical information about them is much more abundant. We know more about not just their wars and their leaders, but also about how ordinary people lived. 2. The classical societies provide many direct links to today's world, so that we may refer to them as root civilizations, or ones that modern societies have grown from. 3. Classical civilizations were expansionist, deliberately conquering lands around them to create large empires. As a result, they were much larger in land space and population than the river civilizations were. Three areas where civilizations proved to be very durable were The Mediterranean - Two great classical civilizations grew up around this area: the Greeks and the Romans. China - The classical era began with the Zhou Empire and continued through the Han Dynasty. India - Although political unity was difficult for India, the Mauryan and Gupta Empire emerged during the classical era. COMMON FEATURES OF CLASSICAL CIVILIZATIONS The three areas of classical civilizations developed their own beliefs, lifestyles, political institutions, and social structures. However, there were important similarities among them: Patriarchal family structures - Like the river valley civilizations that preceded them, the classical civilization valued male authority within families, as well as in most other areas of life. Agricultural-based economies - Despite more sophisticated and complex job specialization, the most common occupation in all areas was farming. Complex governments - Because they were so large, these three civilizations had to invent new ways to keep their lands together politically. Their governments were large and complex, although they each had unique ways of governing Expanding trade base - Their economic systems were complex. Although they generally operated independently, trade routes connected them by both land and sea. CLASSICAL CIVILIZATIONS Culture Political Organization Social Structure Most enduring influences No centralized government; Slavery widely practiced come from Athens: concept of polis, or a fortified site that formed the Valued education, placed centers of many city states emphasis on importance of Men separated from women in human effort, human ability Governing styles varied military barracks until age 30; Greece (about to shape future events (Sparta a military state, women had relative freedom; 800-300 BCE) Athens eventually a women in Sparta encouraged to Interest in political theory: democracy for adult males) be physically fit so as to have which form of government healthy babies; generally better is best?

Migrations continued, and trade increased, diffusing technologies, ideas, and goods from civilization centers to more parts of the world. However, the process was slow. Chinese inventions such as paper had not yet reached societies outside East Asia by the end of the classical era. The Western Hemisphere was not yet in contact with the Eastern Hemisphere. Nevertheless, a great deal of cultural diffusion did take place, and larger areas of the world were in contact with one another than in previous eras. One very important example of cultural diffusion was Hellenization, or the deliberate spread of Greek culture. The most important agent for this important change was Alexander the Great, who conquered Egypt, the Middle East, and the large empire of Persia that spread eastward all the way to the Indus River Valley. Alexander was Macedonian, but he controlled Greece and was a big fan of Greek culture. His conquests meant that Greek architecture, philosophy, science, sculpture, and values diffused to large areas of the world and greatly increased the importance of Classical Greece as a root culture. Trade routes that linked the classical civilizations include: The Silk Road - This overland route extended from western China, across Central Asia, and finally to the Mediterranean area. Chinese silk was the most desired commodity, but the Chinese were willing to trade it for other goods, particularly for horses from Central Asia. There was no single route, but it consisted of a series of passages with common stops along the way. Major trade towns appeared along the way where goods were exchanged. No single merchant traveled the entire length of the road, but some products (particularly silk) did make it from one end to the other. The Indian Ocean Trade - This important set of water routes became even more important in later eras, but the Indian Ocean Trade was actively in place during the classical era. The trade had three legs: one connected eastern Africa and the Middle East with India; another connected India to Southeast Asia; and the final one linked Southeast Asia to the Chinese port of Canton. Saharan Trade - This route connected people that lived south of the Sahara to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Berbers, nomads who traversed the desert, were the most important agents of trade. They carried goods in camel caravans, with Cairo at the mouth of the Nile River as the most important destination. There they connected to other trade routes, so that Cairo became a major trade center that linked many civilizations together. Sub-Saharan Trade - This trade was probably inspired by the Bantu migration, and by the end of the classical era people south of the Sahara were connect to people in the eastern and southern parts of Africa. This trade connected to the Indian Ocean trade along the eastern coast of Africa, which in turn connected the people of sub-Saharan Africa to trade centers in Cairo and India. TRADE DURING THE CLASSICAL ERA (1000 BCE to 600 CE) Route Description What traded? Who participated? Cultural diffusion From west to east - horses, alfalfa, Chinese, Indians, Chariot warfare, the stirrup, Overland from western grapes, melons, Parthians, central music, diversity of China to the Mediterranean walnuts Asians, Romans populations, Buddhism and Silk Trade made possible by Christianity, wealth and Road development of a camel From east to west - Primary agents of prosperity (particularly hybrid capable o f long dry silk, peaches, trade - central Asian important for central Asian trips apricots, spices, nomads nomads) pottery, paper Lateen sail (flattened By water from Canton in triangular shape) permitted Pigments, pearls, Chinese, Indians, Indian China to Southeast Asia to sailing far from coast spices, bananas Malays, Persians, Ocean India to eastern Africa and and other tropical Arabs, people on Trade the Middle East; monsoon- Created a trading class with fruits Africa's east coast controlled mixture of cultures, ties to homeland broken Salt from Sahara to points south and west Western Africans, people of the Points in western Africa Gold from western Mediterranean south of the Sahara to the Africa Technology of the camel Saharan Mediterranean; Cairo most saddle - important because it Trade important destination Wheat and olives allowed domestication and from Italy use of the camel for trade Berbers most Camel caravans important agents of Roman trade manufactured goods to western Africa Connected Africans south Sub- Agricultural and east of the Sahara to Diverse peoples in Saharan products, iron Bantu language, "Africanity" one another; connected in sub-Saharan Africa Trade weapons the east to other trade routes THE LATE CLASSICAL ERA: THE FALL OF EMPIRES (200 TO 600 CE) Recall that all of the river-valley civilization areas experienced significant decline and/or conquest in the time period around 1200 BCE. A similar thing happened to the classical civilizations between about 200 and 600 CE, and because the empires were larger and more connected, their fall had an even more significant impact on the course of world history. Han China was the first to fall (around 220 CE), then the Western Roman Empire (476 CE), and finally the Gupta in 550 CE. SIMILARITIES Several common factors caused all three empires to fall: Attacks from the Huns - The Huns were a nomadic people of Asia that began to migrate south and west during this time period. Their migration was probably caused by drought and lack of pasture, and the invention and use of the stirrup facilitated their attacks on all three established civilizations. Deterioration of political institutions - All three empires were riddled by political corruption during their latter days, and all three suffered under weak-willed rulers. Moral decay also characterized the years prior to their respective falls. Protection/maintenance of borders - All empires found that their borders had grown so large that their military had trouble guarding them. A primary example is the failure of the Great Wall to keep the Huns out of China. The Huns generally just went around it. Diseases that followed the trade routes - Plagues and epidemics may have killed off as much as half of the population of each empire. DIFFERENCES Even though the empires shared common reasons for their declines, some significant differences also may be seen. The Gupta's dependence on alliances with regional princes broke down, exhibiting the tendency toward political fragmentation on the Indian subcontinent. Rome's empire lasted much longer than did either of the other two. The Roman Empire also split in two, and the eastern half endured for another 1000 years after the west fell. The fall of empire affected the three areas in different ways. The fall of the Gupta probably had the least impact, partly because political unity wasn't the rule anyway, and partly because the traditions of Hinduism and the caste system (the glue that held the area together) continued on after the empire fell. The fall of the Han Dynasty was problematic for China because strong centralized government was in place, and social disorder resulted from the loss of authority. However, dynastic cycles that followed the dictates of the Mandate of Heaven were well defined in China, and the Confucian traditions continued to give coherence to Chinese society. The most devastating fall of all occurred in Rome. Roman civilization depended almost exclusively on the ability of the government and the military to control territory. Even though Christianity emerged as a major religion, it appeared so late in the life of the empire that it provided little to unify people as Romans after the empire fell. Instead, the areas of the empire fragmented into small parts and developed unique characteristics, and the Western Roman Empire never united again. COMMON CONSEQUENCES The fall of the three empires had some important consequences that represent major turning points in world history: Trade was disrupted but survived, keeping intact the trend toward increased long-distance contact. Trade on the Indian Ocean even increased as conflict and decline of political authority affected overland trade. The importance of religion increased as political authority decreased. In the west religion, particularly Christianity, was left to slowly develop authority in many areas of people's lives. Buddhism also spread quickly into China, presenting itself as competition to Confucian traditions. Political disunity in the Middle East forged the way for the appearance of a new religion in the 7th century. By 600 CE Islam was in the wings waiting to make its entrance onto the world stage. BELIEF SYSTEMS Belief systems include both religions and philosophies that help to explain basic questions of human existence, such as "Where did we come from?" Or "What happens after death?" or "What is the nature of human relationships or interactions?" Many major beliefs systems that influence the modern world began during the Foundations Era (8000 BCE to 600 CE). POLYTHEISM The earliest form of religion was probably polydaemonism (the belief in many spirits), but somewhere in the Neolithic era people began to put these spirits together to form gods. In polytheism, each god typically has responsibility for one area of life, like war, the sea, or death. In early agricultural societies, quite logically most of the gods had responsibility for the raising of crops and domesticated animals. The most prominent god in many early societies was the Sun God, who took many forms and went by many names. Other gods supervised rain, wind, the moon, or stars. Many societies worshipped gods of fertility, as reflected in statues of pregnant goddesses, or women with exaggerated female features. Young male gods often had features or bulls, goats, or jaguars that represented power, energy, and/or virility. Perceptions of the gods varied from one civilization to the next, with some seeing them as fierce and full of retribution, and others seeing them as more tolerant of human foibles. Religion was extremely important to the river-valley civilizations, and most areas of life revolved around pleasing the gods. Monotheism was first introduced about 2000 BCE by Israelites, but monotheism did not grow substantially till much later. Each of the classical civilizations had very different belief systems that partially account for the very different directions that the three areas took in succeeding eras. Rome and Greece were polytheistic, but Christianity had a firm footing by the time the western empire fell. Hinduism dominated Indian society from very early times, although Buddhism also took root in India. From China's early days, ancestors were revered, a belief reinforced by the philosophy of Confucianism. Other belief systems, such as Daoism, Legalism, and Buddhism, also flourished in China by 600 CE. HINDUISM The beginnings of Hinduism are difficult to trace, but the religion originated with the polytheism that the Aryans brought as they began invading the Indian subcontinent sometime after 2000 BCE. Aryan priest recited hymns that told stories and taught values and were eventually written down in The Vedas, the sacred texts of Hinduism. One famous story is The Ramayana that tells about the life and love of Prince Rama and his wife Sita. Another epic story is The Mahabharata, which focuses on a war between cousins. Its most famous part is called The Baghavad Gita, which tells how one cousin, Arjuna, overcomes his hesitations to fight his own kin. The stories embody important Hindu values that still guide modern day India. Hinduism assumes the eternal existence of a universal spirit that guides all life on earth. A piece of the spirit called the atman is trapped inside humans and other living creatures. The most important desire of the atman is to be reunited with the universal spirit, and every aspect of an individual's life is governed by it. When someone dies, their atman may be reunited, but most usually is reborn in a new body. A person's caste membership is a clear indication of how close he or she is to the desired reunion. Some basic tenets of Hinduism are Reincarnation - Atman spirits are reborn in different people after one body dies. This rebirth has no beginning and no end, and is part of the larger universal spirit that pervades all of life. Karma - This widely used word actually refers to the pattern of cause and effect that transcends individual human lives. Whether or not an individual fulfills his/her duties in one life determines what happens in the next. Dharma - Duties called dharma are attached to each caste position. For example, a warrior's dharma is to fight honorably, and a wife's duty is to serve her husband faithfully. Even the lowliest caste has dharma attached to it. If one fulfills this dharma, the reward is for the atman to be reborn into a higher caste. Only the atman of a member of the highest caste (originally the priests) has the opportunity to be reunited with the universal spirit. Moksha - Moksha is the highest, most sought-after goal for the atman. It describes the reunion with the universal spirit. The universal spirit is represented by Brahman, a god that takes many different shapes. Two of Brahman's forms are Vishnu the Creator, and Shiva the Destroyer. Hinduism is very difficult to categorize as either polytheistic or monotheistic because of the central belief in the universal spirit. Do each of Brahman's forms represent a different god, or are they all the same? Brahman's forms almost certainly represent different Aryan gods from the religion's early days, but Hinduism eventually unites them all in the belief in Brahman. BUDDHISM Buddhism began in India in the Ganges River are during the 6th century BCE. Its founder was Siddhartha Guatama, who later became known as the Buddha, or the "Enlightened One." Siddhartha was the son of a wealthy Hindu prince who grew up with many advantages in life. However, as a young man he did not find answers to the meaning of life in Hinduism, so he left home to become an ascetic, or wandering holy man. His Enlightenment came while sitting under a tree in a Deerfield, and the revelations of that day form the basic tenets of Buddhism: The Four Noble Truths - 1) All of life is suffering; 2) Suffering is caused by false desires for things that do not bring satisfaction; 3) Suffering may be relieved by removing the desire; 4) Desire may be removed by following the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path to Enlightenment - The ultimate goal is to follow the path to nirvana, or a state of contentment that occurs when the individual's soul unites with the universal spirit. The eight steps must be achieved one by one, starting with a change in thoughts and intentions, followed by changes in life style and actions, that prelude a higher thought process through meditation. Eventually, a "breakthrough" occurs when nirvana is achieved that gives the person a whole new understanding of life. Note that Hinduism supported the continuation of the caste system in India, since castes were an outer reflection of inner purity. For example, placement in a lower caste happened because a person did not fulfill his/her dharma in a previous life. Higher status was a "reward" for good behavior in the past. Although Buddhism, like Hinduism, emphasizes the soul's yearning for understandings on a higher plane, it generally supported the notion that anyone of any social position could follow the Eightfold Path successfully. Buddhists believed that changes in thought processes and life styles brought enlightenment, not the powers of one's caste. Although the Buddha actively spread the new beliefs during his long lifetime, the new religion faced oppression after his death from Hindus who saw it as a threat to the basic social and religious structure that held India together. Buddhism probably survived only because the Mauryan emperor Ashoka converted to it and promoted its practice. However, in the long run, Buddhism did much better in areas where it spread through cultural diffusion, such as Southeast Asia, China, and Japan. CONFUCIANISM Three important belief systems (Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism) emerged in China during the Warring States Period (403-221 BCE) between the Zhou and Han Dynasties. Although the period was politically chaotic, it hosted a cultural flowering that left a permanent mark on Chinese history. Confucius contemplated why China had fallen into chaos, and concluded that the Mandate of Heaven had been lost because of poor behavior of not only the Chinese emperor, but all his subjects as well. His plan for reestablishing Chinese society profoundly affected the course of Chinese history and eventually spread to many other areas of Asia as well. He emphasized the importance of harmony, order, and obedience and believed that if five basic relationships were sound, all of society would be, too: Emperor/subject - the emperor has the responsibility to take care of his subjects, and subjects must obey the emperor Father/son - the father takes care of the son, and the son obeys the father Older brother/younger brother - the older brother takes care of the younger brother, who in turn obeys him Husband/wife - the husband takes care of the wife, who in turn obeys him Friend/friend -The only relationship that does not assume inequality should be characterized by mutual care and obedience Confucius also defined the "superior man" - one who exhibits ren (kindness), li (sense of propriety), and Xiao (filial piety, or loyalty to the family). Confucianism accepted and endorsed inequality as an important part of an ordered society. It confirmed the power of the emperor, but held him responsible for his people, and it reinforced the patriarchal family structure that was already in place in China. Because Confucianism focused on social order and political organization, it is generally seen as a philosophy rather than a religion. Religions are more likely to emphasize spiritual topics, not society and politics. DAOISM The founder of Daoism is believed to have been Laozi, a spiritualist who probably lived in the 4th century BCE. The religion centers on the Dao (sometimes referred to as the "Way" or "Path"), the original force of the cosmos that is an eternal and unchanging principle that governs all the workings of the world. The Dao is passive - not active, good nor bad - but it just is. It cannot be changed, so humans must learn to live with it. According to Daoism, human strivings have brought the world to chaos because they resist the Dao. A chief characteristic is wuwei, or a disengagement from the affairs of the world, including government. The less government, the better. Live simply, in harmony with nature. Daoism encourages introspection, development of inner contentment, and no ambition to change the Dao. Both Confucianism and Daoism encourage self knowledge and acceptance of the ways things are. However, Confucianism is activist and extroverted, and Daoism is reflective and introspective. The same individual may believe in the importance of both belief systems, unlike many people in western societies who think that a person may only adhere to one belief system or another. LEGALISM The third belief system that arose from the Warring States Period is legalism, and it stands in stark contrast to the other beliefs. It had no concern with ethics, morality, or propriety, and cared nothing about human nature, or governing principles of the world. Instead it emphasized the importance of rule of law, or the imperative for laws to govern, not men. According to legalism, laws should be administered objectively, and punishments for offenders should be harsh and swift. Legalism was the philosophy of Shi Huangdi, the first emperor, whose Qin Dynasty rescued China from chaos. However, when he died, the Han emperors that followed deserted legalism and established Confucianism as the dominant philosophy. JUDAISM As noted earlier, Judaism was the first clearly monotheistic religion. At the heart of the religion was a belief in a Covenant, or agreement, between God and the Jewish people, that God would provide for them as long as they obeyed him. The Ten Commandments set down rules for relationships among human beings, as well as human relationships to God. Because they were specially chosen by God, Jews came to see themselves as separate from others and did not seek to convert others to the religion. As a result, Judaism has remained a relatively small religion. However, its influence on other larger religions, including Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam is vast, and so it remains as a very significant "root religion." Zoroastrianism is an early monotheistic religion that almost certainly influenced and was influenced by Judaism, and it is very difficult to know which one may have emerged first. Both religions thrived in the Middle East, and adherents of both apparently had contact with one another. Zoroastrianism was the major religion of Persia, a great land-based empire that was long at war with Ancient Greece and eventually conquered by Alexander the Great. The religion's founder was Zoroaster or Zarathushtra, who saw the world immersed in a great struggle between good and evil, a concept that certainly influenced other monotheistic religions. CHRISTIANITY Christianity grew directly out of Judaism, with its founder Jesus of Nazareth born and raised as a Jew in the area just east of the Mediterranean Sea. During his lifetime, the area was controlled by Rome as a province in the empire. Christianity originated partly from a long-standing Jewish belief in the coming of a Messiah, or a leader who would restore the Jewish kingdom to its former glory days. Jesus' followers saw him as the Messiah who would cleanse the Jewish religion of its rigid and haughty priests and assure life after death to all that followed Christian precepts. In this way, its appeal to ordinary people may be compared to that of Buddhism, as it struggled to emerge from the Hindu caste system. Christianity's broad appeal of the masses, as well as deliberate conversion efforts by its early apostles, meant that the religion grew steadily and eventually became the religion with the most followers in the modern world. Jesus was a prophet and teacher whose followers came to believe that he was the son of God. He advocated a moral code based on love, charity, and humility. His disciples predicted a final judgment day when God would reward the righteous with immortality and condemn sinners to eternal hell. Jesus was arrested and executed by Roman officials because he aroused suspicions among Jewish leaders, and he was seen by many as a dangerous rebel rouser. After his death, his apostles spread the faith. Especially important was Paul, a Jew who was familiar with Greco-Roman culture. He explained Christian principles in ways that Greeks and Romans understood, and he established churches all over the eastern end of the Mediterranean, and even as far away as Rome. Christianity grew steadily in the Roman Empire, but not without clashes with Roman authorities. Eventually in the 4th century CE, the Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity and established a new capital in the eastern city of Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople. As a result, the religion grew west and north from Rome, and also east from Constantinople, greatly extending its reach. By the end of the classical era, these major belief systems had expanded to many areas of the world, and with the fall of empires in the late classical era, came to be major forces in shaping world history. One major religion - Islam - remained to be established in the 7th century as part of the next great period that extended from 600 to 1450 CE.

May visit to Schreiners
terry94705(SF Bay)June 7, 2008
Once a year, during the Keizer Iris Festival, Schreiners lets registered "wanderers" walk through their fields on a 5K or 10K walk. Even though bloom was barely starting this year, it was still an interesting walk through part of their 200 acres!
Mostly medians in this photo:
I did see a few intriguing TB seedlings:
But the humongous compost hill was a rare treat too:
I suspect this was only one of many compost piles --each bigger than my own little plot of irises!

Tulsa Bank Robbed
By KWGS News
Tulsa, Ok – A lone bandit entered the Food Pyramid at 41st and Peoria late this morning. He went to the Bank of Oklahoma bank branch inside the store and claimed he had a bomb. He demanded cash from the bank teller and then left. There was no sign of a bomb.
Tulsa Police are checking to see if this robbery may have been connected to others that happened early this month.

Who to invite to a bridal shower
I am stuck in a dilemma with who to invite to my sisters bridal shower at our church. She is having a small family wedding at our home in September. Because of space we were limited to family members and a handful of close friends.
We have a great church family of friends to which a lot of them are not being invited to the wedding. I am giving her a shower at the church but I'm not sure now if this is a good idea. We have around 50 to invite. I don't want to offend anyone. My feelings are, the showers are part of the big celebration and they would be offended if they wern't invited to anything. Anyone been in this situation?
I wouldn't invite folks to the shower who aren't invited to the wedding. As an alternative, you could have a post wedding reception after church the day after the wedding or as soon as they come home from their honeymoon. Many churches have coffee after the service. See about providing a simple cake with their wedding topper on the table next to it. Maybe have some punch. And expect the whole congregation to celebrate and congratulate at that time. Obviously you would check with the pastor for arrangements and you wouldn't expect any gifts.
I agree with Duckie. Some church groups do hold showers for brides in the congregation when they know that they won't be invited to the wedding, but the shower is usually hosted by someone in the church or a women's group and the attendees are only church members. Since you are planning a shower that will include family and friends, I would keep it at that. You may want to choose another location to have the shower to lessen the possibility of offending anyone. If the church women's ministry would like to have a shower for your sister, that would be great.
I'm w/ Sweet Pea10. esp. about the church showers held for the bride by church members.
If you think the ladies at your church might expect to participate in a shower regardless of whether they're invited (if you went to my church, some of them would), then figure out who the unofficial "social chairman" is and ask her what she thinks.
The ideal would be if she says, "yes, we should have a shower," and then she hosts it, and you offer as much logistical help as you can.
And I'm curious--is your sister not having the ceremony at the church? Or is it the RECEPTION that will be in your home?
Because....if the wedding is in the church, I think the church members are sort of automatically invited to the ceremony, even if they aren't invited to the reception. Your sister could even send an invite to the congregation (or post it on the bulletin board) for the ceremony itself.
In my church, when we've thrown "church ladies" showers for someone, we sometimes invite the bride's & groom's immediate female relatives, if they live in town. And some other friends, perhaps.
And Emily Post says, about whom to invite to the shower:
"When a wedding is very small--restricted to family only, and p erhaps with no reception--thecouple may be given a shower to which friends are invited who would have been included at al arger wedding. The shower, in this case, almost takes the place of the reception, and the shower gifts are given instead of (rather than in addition to) wedding gifts."
Another solution is to give a different kind of event -- which actually is better for you, as an immediate family member, to be giving anyway. Consider a tea or a recipe or advice "shower." I think that it is okay, or at least better, to invite people who aren't invited to the wedding if they aren't being asked to bring a gift.
Thanks for the advice from all. Talked it over with a good friend of the family and she offered to host a post-wedding celebration. We are having the wedding and reception are at our home. There is also the grooms church giving her a shower and we invited those from our church to that one. They both have been going to that church together, but my sister has grown up in our church. I think it all will work out. I just want this to be a happy time for my sister. The wedding is in 4 weeks, pray for good weather, it's outside.
you know, I forgot to mention:
I know tons of people who are pretty involved in their church, but they can't invite ALL of us/them to the more formal reception. And most church members totally understand that.
What these folks have all done is to have a cake-and-punch reception immediately after the ceremony, AT the church, and invite everyone from the congregation to both.
In that case, then a shower w/ all the church ladies would be fine, because they are invited to the wedding.
I think your solution of having the ladies from your church be invited to his/her church is a good one!
i'd rather see the bride have 2 showers than one huge tiring, and yes, boring gift after gift opening.
also PLEASE don't do like dil-tb did...had almost 60 and was a "mixed" group...meaning she had her rowdy softball league (gross and drinking spiked punch) with older women like myself and my dd's with kids...if i wasn't afraid of hurting ds2's feelings, i would have taken the grands and left. the softballers would have probably cheered...lol...

So I'm typing and whining, instead. I'm typing this on my IPad (thank you, Steve!) and not online, because the wf-fi here is so bad. That's another of tonight's rants. Most ...

CINCINNATI (Feb. 2, 12:45 p.m. ET) — Procter & Gamble Co. gave Gillette Fusion ProGlide's packaging a "future friendly" facelift by reducing plastic and incorporating moldable pulp. With 57 percent less plastic than the original clamshell outer packaging and razor tray, the redesign is made of fibrous materials such as bamboo, sugar cane and bulrush. The result is a 20 percent reduction in gross weight and overall reduction of packaging material.
North America represents about 30 percent of the global consumption of flexible packaging. Annual growth in this region is forecast at 4 percent during the next 5 years.
